5 out of 5 stars Book Review: The Legal List.......2006-03-27

Chapter 0. Introduction to "The Legal List."

0.0. Introduction to the Introduction.

This chapter describes, e.g., how to get "The Legal List." If you are trying to get a copy of "The Legal List," you can avoid many problems by reading and following these directions. This is true not only of "The Legal List" but also of all of the resources it describes. (For example, you may get "The Legal List" via anonymous FTP from ftp.midnight.com as pub/LegalList/legallist.txt, but you may NOT TELNET to this site. See Section 0.7.3 for details.)

Since "The Legal List" ITSELF is a law-related resource on the Internet, I list a few resources that do not THEMSELVES contain any Internet resource (e.g. only a USPS mailing address may be provided). This is, however, the exception rather than the rule.

Within each listing, the resources in "The Legal List" are listed in order of ease-of-accessibility. The resources that are easiest to access are listed first. For example, the user of a commercial online service (such as CompuServe, GEnie, or America Online) may have access to Internet e-mail but may not have FTP or Telnet access. To this user, the e-mail servers are the most useful. Also, I have tried to list free services before paid services. Finally, I have included appendices of general Internet information that is not necessarily law-related. The following is a summary of the contents of "The Legal List":

Chapter 1. Corporations and Organizations. This chapter describes law-related resources made available by for-profit, nonprofit, and not-for- profit corporations and organizations. An organization in this chapter would most likely have a domain name ending in ".com" (commercial) or ".org" (organization). Law firms are listed separately--sorted by the state (or country) of their main office.

Chapter 2. Government Organizations. This chapter describes law-related resources made available by US government organizations. An organization in this chapter would most likely have a domain name ending in ".gov" (government). This chapter is divided into four sub-sections: 1) US Federal Executive Branch, 2) US Federal Judicial Branch, 3) US Federal Legislative Branch, and 4) US State Government Organizations.

Chapter 3. Educational Institutions. This chapter describes law-related resources made available by US educational institutions. An organization in this chapter would most likely have a domain name ending in ".edu" (education). This chapter is divided into two sub-sections: 1) US law schools, 2) other US educational institutions.

Chapter 4. Listserv Lists. This chapter describes law-related listserv lists These lists are like magazines in that one can subscribe and unsubscribe. There are lists for a wide range of law-related interests such as intellectual property (CNI-Copyright), fathers' rights (FREE-L), and issues of interest to law students (LawSch-L).

Chapter 5. Non-US Resources. This chapter describes law-related resources made available by non-US organizations, governments, and educational institutions--including those made available by the United Nations.

Chapter 6. Journals, FAQs, Usenet Newsgroups, Etc. This chapter lists law-related journals, files of frequently-asked questions (FAQs), and Usenet newsgroups. Usenet is the news network that is intertwined with, but independent from, the Internet. A resource is listed in this chapter if it is primarily made available by an individual (or by individuals) rather than by an organization, government, or educational institution.

Appendix A. More About the Internet. This appendix contains, for example, information on how to get on the Internet, i.e. how to purchase an Internet account.

Appendix B. More Books. This appendix lists introductory Internet books, law-related books, and book publishers. Many of the publishers listing in this appendix maintain a Gopher site.

Appendix C. More About Midnight Networks. This appendix describes Midnight Network Inc (midnight@midnight.com), the company that provides administrative support for "The Legal List" in the form of an anonymous FTP server (and its disk space).

    Book Description

    The Microsoft® Office System is the most popular desktop suite of personal productivity tools and technologies. Because the Microsoft Office suite of tools is so comprehensive, it can be challenging for people in certain professions to understand how to use Office to perform tasks specific to their job. This book focuses on the tasks that financial analysts performs every day—rather than the all too common software-centric approach that many other technology books habitually adopt. Other Microsoft Office books on the market are often difficult to understand because they largely address an Information Technology (IT) audience, cover too many professions in a single book, or are so large (more than 800 pages) as to be overwhelming. This book was written with financial analysts in mind. In fact, this book was developed by consulting and interviewing industry experts, software trainers, technology experts, and financial professionals. The author learned exactly which topics were most troublesome for financial analysts, and made sure to explain them thoroughly. This book covers the use of these Microsoft Office System products for financial analysts:

    -Microsoft® Word 2003

    -Microsoft® Excel 2003

    -Microsoft® Outlook 2003

    -Microsoft® PowerPoint 2003

    -Microsoft® OneNote 2003
    This book helps financial analysts cut through the hard stuff, and makes Microsoft Office work for them. The book comes with free bonus materials:

    -Additional Financial Templates

    -Bonus Chapter: "Working with XML"

    -Keyboard Shortcut References

                      Book Description

                      The field of signal transduction research is one of the fastest growing in all of biomedical research in recent years. Signaling through cell adhesion molecules have long been of interest because of their importance in embryonic development, homeostasis, immune responses, wound healing , and malignant transformation. However, it is only recently realized that cell adhesion molecules are capable of transduce biochemical signals across the plasma membrane to regulate cellular functions. Signaling Through Cell Adhesion Molecules brings together novel and current methodology employed in studies of signaling by cell adhesion molecules as presented by leading experts whose research has shaped this nascent area of signal trandsduction research. One of the unique features of this method book is its topic-oriented format; experts with "hands-on" experience present various techniques and answers to particular biological questions. Many chapters not only contain the "recipes" on experimental protocols, but also discuss the rationale behind their development.

                      4 out of 5 stars Great for cell-matrix, but not cell-cell.......2003-06-03

                      While I did find this a very detailed and HIGHLY useful book for signal transduction as a whole, I feel that there is a bias towards cell-to-matrix adhesion (integrins, what not) versus cell-to cell (cadherins, CAMs, etc). Overall a wonderful collection of the current data in the field, but the name is a bit of a misnomer. I would say this is a upper-undergrad/ lower-graduate level text, yet would be useful to someone who has been in the field for years.

                        Book Description

                        Paul Roberts' research contributions are remarkable in their diversity, depth and international appeal. Papers from the Paul Roberts' Anniversary meeting at the University of Exeter are presented in this volume. Topics include geomagnetism and dynamos, fluid mechanics and MHD, superfluidity, mixed phase regions, mean field electrodynamics and the Earth's inner core. An incisive commentary of the papers puts the work of Paul Roberts into historical context. Magnetohydrodynamics and the Earth's Core provides a valuable source of reference for graduates and researchers working in this area of geoscience.

                          Book Description

                          This review consists of three parts. The first part provides basic information about the physics and materials science of high-temperature superconductors for applications in magnet and energy technology. It addresses more than is required by a newcomer in this field, by putting together information from very different areas such as physical chemistry, materials science and condensed matter physics, which otherwise would have to be collected from various textbooks and original literature. In an introductory chapter potential applications are presented and the limitations of the materials are discussed. Part I closes with a final chapter on the present state of the art, where the latest results in this field are briefly reviewed. Parts II and III contain the most recent results on the preparation and characterization of Bi-2212 (Bi2Sr2CaCu2O5) wires and tapes, and Bi-2223

                            Welcome to the Bottom Dollar Emporium, where everything from coconut mallow cookies to Clabber Girl Baking Powder costs only a dollar, and coffee and gossip are free.

                            For Elizabeth, Mavis, and Attalee, logging nine to five at the Bottom Dollar is not just work time, it's family time. So when news gets out that the Super Saver Dollar Store chain plans to set up shop and run the Bottom Dollar out of town, things go catawampus. Manager Elizabeth, who has a good head for business even though she flunked pin-curling in beauty school, teams up with a crew of dedicated do-gooders bent on saving the Bottom Dollar from the fate of spare change. But when Elizabeth's unlikely new love interest -- who also happens to be Cayboo Creek's wealthiest bachelor -- pitches woo, out come some startling revelations about her past that turn life more than a little interesting for all her friends and neighbors.

                            5 out of 5 stars Really loved theis book-wonderful characters!.......2007-05-26

                            The Bottom Dollar Emporium was a store run by the owner Mavis, who put everything she had into it. Her workers, Elizabeth Polk the main character of the book mostly told in her first person, and then Attalee, were like a little family. But their world was about to go down the tube when they received news that a new store right next door to them was opening. It was to be a great big Super Saver Dollar Store with thousands of items in it, and that would mean the end of the Dollar Emporium for sure. Mavis just knew she was going to have to close up shop, unless she and the girls could dream up a few clever ideas to keep it going that Super Saver didn't offer.

                            Liz Polk is unmarried, but not by choice. Her ex-fiance, Chip, ran out on her with another woman, and Liz was devastated when she found out. Then when Mrs Tobias comes to the shop, and introduces her grandson, Timothy Hollingsworth who was part of a very wealthy family, comes into the picture, she develops a very keen interest there, Timothy was quite the eccentric when he first meets Liz, and is a Buddhist. He came in in a white robe only, and wasn't allowed to talk for a certain length of time as part of this religious agreement. So all he did at first was keep nodding his head. He comes out of his shell though, as they get to know each other and secretly get married.

                            More problems happen later in the book when Liz's grandmother dies suddenly of a sroke. Liz is heartbroken as her "Meemaw" was the one who raised her all her life as Liz lost her mother when she was only a baby. She finds out though later in the book, a terrible secret that had been kept from her all these years and is devastated again by it. And Timothy's mother who is very cold in nature, will have to learn to warm up to Liz when an event that nearly ends Daisy Hollingsworth's life, is spared by Elizabeth, the person Daisy thought was so far beneath her.

                            I look forward to the next book in this series, A Dollar Short.

                            4 out of 5 stars Down Home.......2007-02-25

                            Entertaining story set in small-town So. Carolina. Made me wish I could go for a visit.

                            2 out of 5 stars mildly entertaining.......2006-11-06

                            After reading the other reviews on this book, I thought I would try the series. I am glad I only bought the one book as I found it only mildly entertaining and had to force myself to finish it.

                            1 out of 5 stars A true feel good book!.......2006-08-31

                            This group of 'down home' folks will be sure to warm your heart and keep you laughing. Don't be surprised if you can't put the book down and can't wait for the next book (hopefully) to come out!

                            5 out of 5 stars Wonderul funny chicklit.......2006-05-23

                            Did you ever notice this book in your library? Well that's what happened to me. When I obtained this book I wasn't so sure about the cover, to tell you the truth, it was the title that hooked me. Boy what a funny Southern chicklit this was! How refreshing to read something intelligent yet humorous. I wasn't disappointed. All cheers to Miss Gillespie, for creating a magical world of the Bottom Dollar Girls. I can't wait to read the other one. When I did a search on Karen Gillespie, I also noticed there is ANOTHER one coming out soon! So at last I have found some entertaining chicklit. Too bad she doesnt have any MORE book! Run don't walk to your library or bookstore to get your own copy of this book. It's really worth it! This is the kind of book a publisher ought to get really excited about instead of something of the other crap I've been reading lately!!!!
