'Education, education, education' : legal, moral and clinical
This article brings together Professor Donald Nicolson's intellectual interest in professional legal ethics and his long-standing involvement with law clinics both as an advisor at the University of Cape Town and Director of the University of Bristol Law Clinic and the University of Strathclyde Law Clinic. In this article he looks at how legal education may help start this process of character development, arguing that the best means is through student involvement in voluntary law clinics. And here he builds upon his recent article which argues for voluntary, community service oriented law clinics over those which emphasise the education of students
Associations between perceived neighbourhood problems and quality of life in older adults with and without osteoarthritis:Results from the Hertfordshire cohort study
This study examined whether the association of quality of life (QoL) with perceived neighbourhood problems is stronger in older adults with osteoarthritis (OA) than in those without OA. Of all 294 participants, 23.8% had OA. More perceived neighbourhood problems were associated with a stronger decrease in QoL over time in participants with OA (B=-0.018; p=0.02) than in those without OA (B=-0.004; p=0.39). Physical activity did not mediate this relationship. Older adults with OA may be less able to deal with more challenging environments
The Role of Mentoring Others in the Career Plateauing Phenomenon
The purpose of the present study is to investigate relationships between mentoring others, perceptions of career plateauing, and job attitudes. A total of 306 government employees located in the southeastern United States completed surveys (50.08% response rate). Of these, 110 reported experience as a mentor. As expected, the results indicated that mentoring others was associated with more favorable job attitudes, whereas greater job content and hierarchical plateauing was associated with less favorable job attitudes. The results provided mixed support that mentoring others may alleviate the negative consequences associated with career plateauing. Specifically, the results indicated that mentor experience and psychosocial mentoring moderated the relationship for job content plateauing. Similar relationships were not found for hierarchical plateauing. Implications and future research suggestions are provided

Development of the fish community in a new cooling reservoir in the southeastern USA
In this study, we sampled the fish community in a new reservoir during the first three years following impoundment. The rate and order in which species were introduced, and their fate was documented by continuous monitoring. Because the reservoir was located on the Savannah River Site, a restricted area owned by the Department of Energy (DOE), it was never fished. The data collected in this study permitted us to address the following questions concerning the development of the L Lake fish community: (1) What types of changes occurred during community development (2) Was community development a matter of chance or governed by deterministic biological processes (3) How did early colonizing species differ from the species of later developmental stages 6 figs., 6 tabs
