Colo. theater shooting kin reject movie invitationBy DAN ELLIOTT
The Associated Press | January 03,2013AP PHOTO
Relatives of the majority of people killed at the movie theater last July rejected an invitation Wednesday to attend its reopening later this month, calling it a disgusting offer.CENTENNIAL, Colo. Relatives of the majority of people killed in a Colorado movie theater rejected an invitation on Wednesday to attend its reopening later this month, calling it a disgusting offer.
The parents, grandparents, cousins and widow of nine of the 12 people killed released a letter sent to the theaters owner, Cinemark, in which they criticized the Plano, Texas-based company for not reaching out to the families of victims to offer their condolences. They also said the company refused to meet with them one-on-one without lawyers present.
The families said they were asked to attend an evening of remembrance followed by a movie when the Aurora theater reopens on Jan. 17 in invitations sent two days after Christmas.
Thanks for making what is a very difficult holiday season that much more difficult. Timing is everything and yours is awful, they wrote.
The company had no immediate comment.
Cinemark has been renovating the Aurora theater and plans to re-open it Jan. 17, a move the citys mayor said had widespread support in the community. Gov. John Hickenlooper is among those planning to attend.
The families of some victims have sued Cinemark. The father of the youngest person killed in the shooting, 6-year-old Veronica Moser-Sullivan, is among them. He didnt sign the letter but the girls grandparents did.
Also Wednesday, prosecutors and defense lawyers said theyre ready for a crucial hearing next week in which prosecutors will outline their case against James Holmes, who is charged with killing 12 people and wounding 70 during a midnight showing of the Batman movie The Dark Night Rises July 20.
It starts Monday and is scheduled to run all week. At its conclusion, state District Judge William B. Sylvester will decide if the evidence is sufficient to put Holmes on trial.
During Wednesdays hearing, prosecutors and defense lawyers also discussed with Sylvester a sealed motion from the prosecution that made some reference to witnesses. Sylvester said he planned to rule on it later in the day but wouldnt refer to witnesses by name.
Holmes didnt say anything during the half-hour hearing.
He is charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder and attempted murder and hasnt been asked to enter a plea yet. His lawyers have said he suffers from mental illness.
Next weeks preliminary hearing will give the public its first officially sanctioned look at much of the evidence against Holmes.
Sylvester imposed a gag order shortly after Holmes arrest barring attorneys and investigators from speaking publicly about the case, and many documents have been sealed.
The University of Colorado, where Holmes was a graduate student, has also been tight-lipped about the case.
At prosecutors request, Sylvester barred the university from releasing records requested by numerous media organizations.
Prosecutors argued that the information could jeopardize Holmes right to a fair trial. Sylvester initially agreed but amended his order last month to allow the release after media organizations objected in court.
Holmes was enrolled in a Ph.D. neuroscience program at the university. Investigators said he began stockpiling firearms and ammunition while taking classes in the spring.
In June, he made threats to a professor and on June 10 filed withdrawal papers after failing a year-end exam, prosecutors said. The next day he saw his school psychiatrist who tried to report him to a campus security committee, according to Holmes lawyers.MORE IN Wire NewsDES MOINES, Iowa Closing in on a decision about whether to again run for president, Mitt Romney...

Clarion Safety Systems Releases Video on ISO Symbols for Safety Signs and Safety Labels
Educational Video Produced by Clarion Safety Systems Explains how the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Uses Symbols, Vocabulary, and Color to Standardize Safety Signage on a Global Basis
Milford, PA (PRWEB) March 27, 2013
Clarion Safety Systems, a leading designer and manufacturer of safety signs and safety labels, has produced a video on the value of symbols and symbol standardization in creating effective safety signage that better reduces risk and prevents injuries and accidents in today´s workplaces and public areas. The piece is part of a series of short, educational videos designed to serve as a resource in promoting a better understanding of current best practices in product safety labeling and facility marking systems.
Properly crafting the elements of safety signs and labels to better communicate safety comes from practice and experience, and understanding how to apply the latest warnings technology — the new U.S. and international best practice standards. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) have established a uniform system of hazard recognition that governs the symbols, format, color, and the amount and level of content that goes on safety markings.
In its two-minute video, "ISO Symbols for Safety Signs and Labels," Clarion explains how ISO uses symbols, vocabulary, and color to standardize safety signage on a worldwide basis.
"ISO, specifically ISO Technical Committee 145, standardizes graphical symbols, colors, and safety sign and label formats, as well how you integrate those elements onto signage so that safety can be communicated on a worldwide basis, consistently. That´s the key — consistency," says Geoffrey Peckham, CEO and Director of Research & Development of Clarion Safety Systems.
"The goal is for people to have an automatic understanding when they see a safety sign, label or tag. In this way, standardizing symbols and color creates a new global language — independent of words — that can help to keep people safe from harm," says Peckham, who also serves as chair of the ANSI Z535 Committee for Safety Signs and Colors and chair and delegation head for the ANSI TAG to the ISO/TC 145 Graphical Symbols.
The video is available through the Clarion website´s video library as well as through the company´s YouTube channel.
Additional information about effective safety signs and labels can be found in Clarion´s online safety sign and safety label Learning Center, available through the company's website.

Super Aguri announced on Friday that Giedo van der Garde has been appointed as the teams reserve and test driver for the 2007 season. The 21 year-old Dutch racer, who competed in this years F3 Euroseries, is a member of McLarens young driver programme.
I am very happy that I can be involved with the Super Aguri team and get a good drive in Formula One, said Van der Garde. When I started karting I always said that I wanted to be in F1, so now I can put my efforts into the team and get to learn about the car. I am looking forward to driving in F1 for the first time.
Van der Garde started his racing career at the tender age of nine when he began karting in the Mini Juniors Class. After winning the Dutch championship twice, he began competing internationally and for the past three seasons has been racing in the F3 Euroseries with the ASM team.
We are delighted to have Giedo joining our team, explained team principal Aguri Suzuki. He is a young driver with much potential. Formula One, as everyone knows, is not a walk over and in the beginning it will be hard for him. But with his talent I am sure he will overcome this and I hope he works hard and becomes successful in this category too.
Van der Garde will work alongside Super Aguris race drivers Takuma Sato and Anthony Davidson as the Japanese squad competes in its second Formula One season.

But you can practice piping, etc. on wax paper or something similar because you can scrape it off and use it again and again!

What better way to end the day, or get your night started, than with Classic Rock Nights with Pete Bunch here on 93-7 every evening from 6-9pm.
In the summer of 1975, under the influence of Clearasil, Pete Bunch decided to investigate the world of radio.
In the 70s, boss-jock-big-voice radio caught Pete's fancy, so much so, that he would mimic them on-air at his high school radio station in Denver, Colorado.
Thus began a wild career in broadcasting. Since then Pete has picked up awards varying from Mid-West Emmy, National Telly and South Carolina broadcaster's creative awards for his efforts to entertain.
When not in the blue-padded room talking to Mr. Mic Raphone, Pete enjoys time with family, and walks in the woods and being a certified coffee snob since 1996.
Now making his home on Rock 93-7, he not only shares his voice but his love for Classic Rock hits from the 70's and 80's.

Your personal and credit card details are very important and so do not supply its details if you aren't investing in an item. We are an internet affiliate member for ebay and clicking on one of the items seen in this site will send you to its equivalent ebay webpage. The introduction of the World Wide Web has given everyone e-commerce, a stylish tool for buying merchandise without having to leave the convenience of your home. There are plenty of merchandise being sold at a bargain price, but from time to time when you check around much more, or wait for just a couple of days, weeks or months, you may get a much better offer. Do not put in your personal Social Security Number in any on-line form. There are times when you buy on the net, you will definitely be required to fill out a survey form which includes your gender category, zip code and age. The facts you provide is usually designed for setting up a client user profile and also for marketing and advertising reasons. Should you be transacting with an unknown seller or web shop, consult it with the Better Business Bureau or maybe your city or regional consumer protection agency to be aware of whom you are dealing with. Try to calculate if you are obtaining any kind of savings by purchasing in bulk via an internet based dealer or not. If you're not, you have to search for some other vendor that can provide you with a much better offer. There are a few dealers who accept cash on delivery or CODs as payment, but it's not wise that you pay out upfront via check or money order due to the risk of being duped.
Most onlne merchants nowadays invite their customers to sign up for their e-mail newsletter. By doing this, buyers are certain to get informed on updates each time especially if there's a great sale occurring and as an incentive for their loyal patronage, they may be also given large discounts at special events. Deceitful merchants only use made up email addresses. Having their recorded contact number may give you the advantage because you have a different way of getting in touch and tracking their company. Parcels originating from overseas should have their customs declaration done by the one who mailed it and attached to the parcel. This should contain an outline of the products as well as its overall price. Shipping fees differ from site to site as well as from seller to seller. This makes it crucial to check the shipping fees initially so you will have a good idea if the charges are acceptable or perhaps not.
Do not be enticed by deceptive e-mails that claim their site has recently had constructed safety enhancements which is why you need to log-in utilizing the website link given to be secure. One of the biggest cons recognized to this day happens by means of email. Real-looking e-mails requires you to make your account up-to-date, such as PayPal, and informing you to follow the link they already have provided in order to promptly make you account information up-to-date. Do not ever go to web links such as these and simply navigate to the website straightly. After paying for a product, it is important that you know and understand that your own credit card number and details are stored on their servers "eternally", so it's always prone to neglectful database or website security. There are several credit card companies that will reward their customers with cash discounts and dual guarantees every time they buy particular items. Remember that any person, business, or firm insisting quick judgments but would not have no on their offer are very likely to be scammers. Do not ever divulge personal information other than the primary information necessary when you make payments on the internet. If and when they ask for more information, they ought to be able to give a reason regarding precisely why and in what ways that additional information will likely be utilized.
It is wonderful to buy recent products most of the time because market pressure and improvements in technology forces costs down just about every day, at the same time increasing capabilities . If you are searching for low priced merchandise, then you need to keep an eye on discount coupons. Coupon codes are anywhere within theinternet provided that you have an understanding of where the best places to look. If there is something that you commonly buy, you are going to spend less funds by purchasing them in big amounts rather than getting another after running out. Each and every auction website is entitled to their very own rules and policies. If you're new to their website, get familiar first with their company so that you understand what you are getting yourself into prior to attempting to make any bid. Any products you buy from an international internet site will always ask you to pay necessary customs and taxes. It has to be paid off together with the item's price and shipping charges. In case you succeed with the bidding in an auction internet site, it is encouraged to get hold of the seller right away. While auction sites tend to permit a couple of days for a deal to finish, calling the seller the instant you win the bid can help you establish when you should expect the package.

I'm getting my CCW pretty soon and I think I have an idea of what setup I want. Namely: a subcompact DA/SA 9mm riding in a crossbreed supertuck with a gun belt.
I've been looking around and it seems most guns are striker fired (which I wouldn't feel comfortable carrying +1)
Some criteria I need are:
DA/SA exposed hammer
Sub-Compact size
Polymer frame or around 20-25 oz.
Bet your life reliable
~$600 [used acceptable]
The examples I've found that fit the bill are:
Beretta PX4 sub compact [bulky?]
SIG P239 [border-line too heavy?]
I'm 5'10" 160 lbs.
Am I missing any other options? Also, if anyone carries one of the above is it comfortable in the summer? I do live in Florida not a whole lot of opportunities to wear a jacket. =/

Battle Of The Gentle Bands.
Sigur Rós, Wilco, Ghostface Killah, Wild Flag and many awesome bands set to perform this year.
It's only natural for Dirty Projectors to pay tribute to Bob Dylan, by covering his hauntingly tinctured "I Saw St. Augustine," from the sparse 1968 album John Wesley Harding.
Following their summer tour, Dirty Projectors have announced 14 additional dates for September. Tickets for their New York appearance at Terminal 5 are already available here.
You should probably ignore any of the envy-laced praise that specifically concerns Avi Buffalo's members' diminutive ages.
Dirty Projectors, who just wrapped tours in Australian and Japan, stopped by Triple J's Like a Version radio show to perform "Cannibal Resource," as well as a cover of Bob Dylan̵
Common logic goes that there's no reason to ever get bored in New York City, especially not on a weekend, and I think this is one of those cases where I'm inclined to agree.
Sure, it's a little bit away, but the Dirty Projectors have some neat shows coming up.

Looking to buy 89 pickup, newbie questions
I've been lurking for a while, and I finally decided to try and buy and older Toyota pickup. I won't be doing to much with it, it won't be a daily driver, just something for fun and occasional runs to Home Depot.
I like the pickups from 1989 and earlier. Problem is, around here (Buffalo, NY) cars rust fast, and any of the trucks I like are all junk. So I started looking online, and I'm just not sure I can buy a car without driving it first. For example, this is exactly what I'm looking for: http://www.leesautocenter.com/1989_T..._171769259.veh But, can I really trust the pictures? I guess I'm wondering if there are any questions I can ask that might reveal problems with the truck, anything the 89's are notorious for? Any advice would be appreciated. |
Its unlikely you will get much help from this forum. They just want to show pics of their trucks and act like this is cardomain and not a real forum.
Just use your eyes. If its a NY truck its likely to be rusty as hell. Chech the frame, the door jams and the rockers for rust. Those are death points. |
It appears the(gray) 92 was painted with primer-and the BED IS CROOKED.
YES--always drive it. Or get someone you know to drive it. Never trust a car salesman-NEVER. the 89 and earlier have a different body style than the 92. I had a 91--tough as nails-GREAT TRUCK. |
Check for rust, the frames tend to rust similar to Tacoma's. Don't go with a v6, they suck ass. You could if its had head gaskets done but is still be a lil cautious. Other than that just look for obvious things.
89-94 have a different body style than the previous years so I'm not sure what you mean by 89 and earlier.
The 22R-E is an I4 engine that is known very well to be reliable The V6s are known for head gasket issues Either way, look for one that is in good shape (hard to find, I know). They are most prone to rust issues and teenagers. By that I mean if well maintained they will last forever but most people get one and beat it horribly. If it's sketchy in any way and you don't want to dump a fortune into constantly fixing it up, pass. You can always look for one from a dry state where cars don't rust so bad and see if you can get it delivered or something. But you'd have to find a really good deal for that to pan out. Basically, keep an eye out for that gem to go for sale because most you come across will be overly rusty, beat up, and not well maintained. Also, that first poster has mommy issues. Hope that helps, man :thumbsup: |

Is this successful, or not worth the 2day express shipping? I'd really love a smallish snake tongue for my office, and I can't find anything other than birds nest varieties or plants that are already 3-4 feet.
Again, I'd order by mail, but leery of getting a dead plant in the mail |

Ordering by mail works fine....although Spring is probably better. It is too cold over much of the U.S. right now. "Silver Princess" is a dwarfish trifasciata type plant. There are a couple of smallish "spoon leafs". Some of the other species and varieties grow slowly and stay small for a long time, so they may be ok too. If you have other plants (not necessarily Sansevieria), it may be easy to set up a trade here for some plants. However, once again, Spring is probably a better time. |

I'll send you one free, Snake Plant, or 'Mothers-in-law tongue what ever you call it, if you are willing to pay for the postage. I have that species. I will put it in a Priority mail package. Do not split plants now if you are not an experienced grower, I certainly agree with that advise. It is not worth the express mail charge, the plant is not worth that much money either. I do not expect a trade. Get a very small young plant and put it in a small pot to keep it that way. Norma Norma |

Video: Traffic stop turns to scuffle between Miami cop, IA lieutenant
Police are unsure what caused the confrontation, but the Internal Affairs lieutenant offered identification before exiting the vehicle
By PoliceOne Staff
MIAMI — A video taken by a Miami officer's personal camera captures a confrontation between the officer and a lieutenant during a traffic stop.
The Miami Herald reports Officer Marcel Jackson stopped Lt. David Ramras last month when the altercation occurred.
After Jackson approaches the lieutenant's vehicle, Ramras can be heard yelling, "You do know who the [expletive] I am."
Jackson responds, "No, I don't."
Police Chief Manuel Orosa told the Miami Herald that police are unsure what caused the confrontation, but that Ramras offered identification before exiting the vehicle.
Ramras has been removed from internal affairs during the investigation.
Jackson — who recorded the incident on an unauthorized, personal camera — has been suspended with pay after refusing to provide police with the camera and for multiple traffic violations.
The police investigation has been turned over to the State's Attorney's Office to determine if charges will be pressed.

More grist for a revised/expanded edition of Schools for Misrule:
"At Howard, they tell us as soon as we get there, 'If you're going to be a lawyer, you're either a social engineer or a parasite on society.' … that's how I think about life, is to be a social engineer, and that's what my parents always were trying to be," he said.
Kevin Cunningham, quoted on MSNBC (& Hans Bader).

Legal academia, and the sector of legal journalism most closely aligned with its views, is too remote from practice, too wrapped in theory and too far left to have a good feel for how the current Supreme Court approaches legal issues. Thus argues Jonathan Adler, who notes that "In some corners, it's more important to reconcile one's claims with the writings of John Rawls than the opinions of John Roberts." More: Mike Rappaport (noting that the right too has been influenced by legal academia's "preference for broad overarching theories," as on originalism), Peter Suderman, David Bernstein.
Stephen Richer has some thoughts about why it was so easy for many law professors to miss the mood of the Supreme Court and of the country. Also some very kind words on Schools for Misrule [Forbes] And: don't miss Jonathan Adler's take.

The Times devotes a front page profile to the Georgetown law professor (and Cato colleague),who is more closely identified than any other thinker with the legal case against ObamaCare's individual mandate. (More: ABA Journal, Bernstein/Volokh, Chicago Reader.) I've known Prof. Barnett and admired his work for longer than I can remember and this gives me the chance to point out self-servingly that he also wrote one of the very nicest blurbs for my book Schools for Misrule:
"While the public loves to bash lawyers, judges, and politicians, law professors have escaped all blame. Olson provides the inside story of how progressive political ideology became the reigning orthodoxy of elite legal education, providing the legal theories responsible for an overweening government committed to mandating, prohibiting, or regulating every aspect of American life in the 'public interest.' I wish I could say he exaggerates but, sadly, the legal foundation of the road to serfdom was devised by law professors."

Many links that tend to harmonize with arguments made in Schools for Misrule, along with a few others:
Atlanta readers: a reminder that I'll be speaking today at 12:15PM at Emory Law School, 1301 Clifton Rd. The closest visitor parking is at the Emory Hospital (map). Also speaking will be Prof. George Shepherd, who's written extensively on legal education and law and economics and is co-author of the interesting new paper, "Law Deans in Jail" (and you thought I was the one critical of law schools). The Federalist Society chapter is sponsoring.
I'll be traveling quite a bit this spring speaking on my book Schools for Misrule: Legal Academia and an Overlawyered America. Unless otherwise specified, the talks will be at Federalist Society student chapters. At some, a faculty member will be commenting or debating me. There's still time to add more events, so if you'd like to book me, email editor – at – overlawyered – dot – com. And if my travels bring me to your own hometown or nearby, please feel free to drop me a line — sometimes my arrival/departure schedule leaves extra time for meeting friends old or new.

Maryland professor of mathematics emeritus Ron Lipsman reviews my book at The Intellectual Conservative, calling it "penetrating," "comprehensive and detailed":
He traces, in mostly a chronological fashion, how progressive philosophy and leftist ideology at first seeped into and eventually flooded the halls of American law schools. He begins by pointing out that law schools became well established on American campuses precisely during the so-called Progressive Era, 1890-1914. The law schools' newfound prominence dovetailed nicely with the advent of professional licensure in America. By that I mean the process by which the heretofore free-for-all entry of individuals into numerous professions and vocations began to be subject to government (or government-sanctioned) certification. This became common a century ago in various American businesses and industries – from meat slaughtering to pharmacy, from barbering to chauffeuring, from teaching to medicine. Well, there was no reason to exempt lawyering from the process. And so the country's law schools became the gatekeepers for the nation's legal profession. Thus the faculty at the nation's law schools – especially, those of the elite variety – obtained control over the training and philosophical outlook of the nation's lawyers. Since we are a country under the rule of law, those who control the lawyers thereby control the law and thus the country to a great extent….
Olson's style is actually quite engaging. Although he treats deadly serious issues with the earnestness that they deserve, he manages to maintain an understated, even restrained tone, which if anything makes his arguments more dramatic.
At Liberty Fund's newly launched Library of Law and Liberty, lawprof/blogger Mike Rappaport after listening to my interview resolved to put the book on his reading list, having not previously appreciated how central the role of the Ford Foundation has been in influencing the schools' development. For more on that role — as well as that of other donors like George Soros and nonprofit groups like the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) — see Scott Walter's interesting essay in Philanthropy Daily, which includes a link to SfM.
Admit it: you want an electronic copy of Schools for Misrule for your e-reader. No problem: there are great bargains in the Books-a-Million, Barnes & Noble/Nook or Google e-books versions, the Kindle version, and the Sony version.

P.S. Ted Lacksonen picks up on the book's oral-tradition "Yale Law School Anthem" ("Don't Know Much About Property…").
The great people at Liberty Fund have just launched a new website called Library of Law and Liberty that promises to be of much interest. Among its debut features: a substantial audio interview in which Richard Reinsch, editor of the site, asks me about my book Schools for Misrule and law schools' role in reform movements since the Progressive Era. Outstanding legal scholars Michael Greve (AEI) and Mike Rappoport (University of San Diego) will be blogging for the site. Other front-page attractions include Michael Greve discussing his new book The Upside Down Constitution, my Cato colleague John Samples reviewing Eric Posner and Adrian Vermeule's new book on executive power, Ilya Somin on federalism and individual freedom, and Philip Hamburger and commenters on judicial review.
You can listen to my audio interview on Schools for Misrule at this link.
Update: Adam Liptak covers this case today in the New York Times and generously quotes me:
Walter Olson, a fellow at the Cato Institute, the libertarian group, and the author of "Schools for Misrule: Legal Academia and an Overlawyered America," said there was nothing unusual about the number of Republicans on Iowa's law faculty.
"What would count as freakish would be to find two dozen registered Republicans on a big law faculty," Mr. Olson said. "Law schools are always setting up committees and task forces to promote diversity on their faculty, which can serve to conceal an absence of diversity in how people actually think."…
Mr. Olson said he had mixed feelings about the Eighth Circuit's decision, saying it may have identified an instance of a real problem while allowing it to be aired in the wrong forum.
"I have serious misgivings about asking the courts to fix this through lawsuits," Mr. Olson said. "It threatens to intrude on collegiality, empower some with sharp elbows to sue their way into faculty jobs, invite judges into making subjective calls of their own which may reflect their assumptions and biases, all while costing a lot of money and grief."
"At the same time," he added, "there's a karma factor here. Law faculties at Iowa and elsewhere have been enthusiastic advocates of wider liability for other employers that get sued. They're not really going to ask for an exemption for themselves, are they?"
(& Althouse, Leef/Phi Beta Cons, Horwitz, Instapundit, State Bar of Michigan, Bainbridge, Elie Mystal/Above the Law, Kent Scheidegger/Crime and Consequences, Andrew Kloster/FIRE and earlier, Federalist Society blog, earlier)
[Original post:]
"A woman who alleges she was denied a job at the University of Iowa College of Law because of her conservative politics can proceed with a discrimination lawsuit against the school's former dean, a federal appeals court ruled [last month]." [WSJ Law Blog, Ryan Koopmans/On Brief: Iowa Appellate Blog, Risch/PrawfsBlawg, Ilya Somin/Volokh (arguing "that ideological discrimination in faculty hiring by state universities doesn't violate the Constitution")] The court found it significant that of approximately fifty professors who vote on faculty hiring matters at the school, per the lawsuit's allegations, "46 of them are registered as Democrats and only one, hired 20 years ago, is a Republican." (Who was the one?)
In Schools for Misrule last year, I made the case that prominent law schools suffer from an egregious ideological imbalance, to the point where their own declared mission suffers in a number of ways. Beyond that, I agree that there is a particular logic in asking government-run institutions, such as the University of Iowa, to be open to a plurality of legitimate viewpoints. Even so — as readers who remember an earlier book of mine, The Excuse Factory, will have guessed — I have severe doubts that lawsuits by disappointed job applicants will really do much to improve fairness in the workplace and counteract arbitrariness in hiring decisions. Such lawsuits seem equally likely to provide a legal weapon to contentious applicants whether or not their talents are clearly superior, invite outside arbiters to apply subjective standards of their own, and take a great toll in collegiality, time, expense and emotional wear and tear, all while encouraging defensive employment practices that help no one. Still, this is not the view of law faculties at places like Iowa, which have tended to cheer on the expansion of employer liability year after year with great enthusiasm. So it may be rather hard for them to mount a convincing complaint when they are made to drink from the cup they have prepared for the rest of society.

Practicing lawyer and University Bookman editor Gerald Russello has a perceptive (and favorable) review (PDF) of my book Schools for Misrule in Academic Questions, the journal of the National Association of Scholars. More here.
The story, by David Segal, is here, and yes, I did get there first earlier this year in chapter 3 of my book Schools for Misrule (which you can now take a closer look at through Amazon's "Look Inside the Book" feature). Reaction from legal academia to Segal's piece has been largely negative (Matt Bodie/Prawfs, Adler roundup), but Orin Kerr argues:
there's an underlying point that I think is both important and correct: Law professors, at especially the "top" law schools, are becoming less connected to the legal profession. As a result, over time, they are less likely to know — and therefore less able to teach — the perspective an experienced lawyer would bring to legal problems.
And here is John Steele in the comments section at Prawfs:
Guys, lighten up. The article goes a little overboard here and there but for a general audience readership covers a lot of ground accurately. If "man bites dog" is what makes for news, the fact that students rack up $150,000 in debt and have no clue about mergers get done is news. It's not news for those of us in practice or law schools or an in-house law departments, but it's certainly news for the general audience.
Gideon Kanner sees an ideological angle.
P.S. So does Hans Bader. And John Steele amplifies his comments, while Rick Garnett weighs in on the anti-Segal side. Further: Erik Gerding.

"People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is accusing the SeaWorld parks of keeping five star-performer whales in conditions that violate the 13th Amendment ban on slavery. SeaWorld depicted the suit as baseless." The action may further an "ongoing, intense debate at America's law schools over expansion of animal rights."

Winners and losers at the time that were short-lived
As baseball's general managers rush to fulfill their trade deadline agendas by 4 p.m. ET on Thursday, we can count on one time-honored sports journalism tradition Friday: Analysts for newspapers and Internet sites will lump the "winners" in one category and the "losers" in the other.
But as recent history shows, knee-jerk assessments can be a risky proposition. Sometimes it takes until the end of the season or longer to determine how deals really shook out. In this week's edition ...Read full story

FOX RUN CABIN - RARE FIND WITH A CREEK AND A VIEW! AND YOUR OWN PERSONAL WATERFALL ONLY ABOUT A HALF MILE HIKE UP THE MOUNTAIN CREEK! We knew we had found a treasure the first time we saw FOX RUN. We immediately fell in love with it's naturally peaceful ambiance. In fact, we loved it so much we decided to purchase the property and share it with others from all over the world.
The minute you pull into the driveway at Fox Run you will view it's comfortable setting nestled down in front of a gorgeous mountain view. As you step out of your car you will hear the sounds of the rushing creek that streches the entire length of the property boundary.
Upon entering the cabin you will immediately notice the fine natural cherry floors, pine wood construction and the sweet wood aroma that you would expect in a custom hand built mountain cabin. It is open, airy and spacious. It is truly a gem.
Fox Run is undoubtedly one of the most popular cabins available for guests who want to come and enjoy the wonders of the Great Smoky Mountains!
It's so peaceful... Shhh!!! We've been told that God lives there. We're pretty sure he does!
Just read what some of our past guests have written in our guest book:
'We have fallen in love with Fox Run, especially the rockers on the expansive porch late in the evening. And with the soft bed and open windows with the rush of the little creek at night. Thanks to our great hosts who went above and beyond to make sure our stay was pleasant. We return to this area about every 10 years but Fox Run has made us want to return much sooner, (Maybe 6 Months).
Susan and Donny Davis
St. Francisville LA
'Spectacular views! We are celebrating our 16 year anniversary. What a place to celebrate! Fox Run is Great! Thank You for sharing it with us. It's so cozy. We love the porch and the rocking chairs, looking at the mountains, dreaming. The noise factor is so great, especially at night when all you hear is the creek and the animals. The hot tub was so relaxing after a day of shopping and checking out the area and so much to do. Living in Frankln NC at one time in my life, this was like coming home for me and a great adventure for my husband, who is from Long Island NY. There is nothing to complain about here. You just relax and enjoy God's country and look with amazement at what he has created for us to enjoy.'
All Our Prayers
Ray and Linda Bolz
Thomasville NC
'Thank You so much for sharing this beautiful place. Our stay was wonderful. The sounds of nature, the porch, the view, the smells, the beds, the hot tub!!! Loved it all! We went tubing, rafting, hiking, biking, picked blueberries,raspberries, baked, canned, slept, played! Magical. For sure we will be back!'
The Curtis Family

'My Husband and I are celebrating 22 years of marriage. This place, (Fox Run) has been magical. Among our most magical moments, I'll hit the highlights.

'This was our 3rd year staying at Fox Run. It's nice staying at a familiar place. As always, we enjoyed the peace and quiet. This year we skipped white water rafting. Instead we went tubing in the GSM park.What a great time! We would highly recommend spending a day tubing the river. We also went on the great GSM train to the Nantahala Gorge. It was nice and relaxing. Thank You for providing a lovely and pleasant place to stay!'

Lubber Gruvs (I mean, Rubber Gloves)
Lubber Gruvs (I mean, Rubber Gloves)
It'd be great if we knew how to read Korean: Martina wanted rubber gloves for cleaning around the house. We went to Home Plus to buy some rubber gloves. When we got home, we realized that the package was just for a single-serving of rubber glove. So we went back to buy another package. Then we got two rubber gloves, but both for the right hand. Fantastic.

Rubber Gloves = 고무 장갑
for the left hand means "왼쪽 손의" and for the right hand means "오른쪽 손의" in Korean. I hope this would help you guys:) -
ㅋㅋㅋThat's pretty funny. Sounds like something I would do.

What Made Kony Creator Crack?
As the YouTube hit number grew astronomically for the Kony 2012 video, so did the scrutiny of the Invisible Children Organization. Many questioned whether all of the money spent on creating the video took away from funds that could be going towards helping the people. People also wondered if the Kony video wasn't just a mechanism to gain more money by selling the kits, t-shirts, bracelets, and other goods. The kit itself is $30.00 at kony2012.com. People also questioned whether the founders of the organization didn't just use it as a way to pay their salaries, employ their relatives, and fund expensive vacations.
Was it in fact stress along with the dehydration/malnourishment that in fact caused his psychological break? Can stress create these symptoms in a young man?
Perhaps the severe stress and overwork caused something called severe delirium in Mr. Russell. Delirium occurs when there is some form of organic dysfunction within the body. If he was in fact severely dehydrated and malnourished as stated by his family, it could have created those symptoms that he displayed in the TMZ video. Some causes of delirium include: severe lack of sleep, lack of food or water, traumatic shock, brain injury and others. So, in fact, his erratic behaviors could possibly be linked to his severe state of stress, dehydration, and overall exhaustion.
If a person is diagnosed as having delirium due to an organic dysfunction, the first step is to optimize the conditions within the body, and specifically the brain. Being that Mr. Russell may have been severely dehydrated; the first step would be to replenish his fluids through an IV. After improving his biological equilibrium, the next step would be to reorient him to time, place, and date. Sometimes antipsychotic drugs are required to stabilize a patient.
His long term care plan would involve plenty of rest and proper nutrition. Psychotherapy would also be a good recommendation for continued care. Mr. Russell, unfortunately, will also probably face a lot of scrutiny, gossip, and judgment from society. Lets' face it; stories like these are what keep media outlets in business. Media and gossip sites have huge audiences of people that read stories like these. In fact these stories are so popular that they completely overshadow a viral video that now has over 80 million views. When we do a Google search, the stories about his breakdown now completely overshadow the video that now has over 80 million views. The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly Of Gossip [EXPERT]
Perhaps we can use this story as a lesson to not jump quickly to judgment about other people. There are many underlying medical and psychological problems that could be the explanation for people's odd behaviors. Plato compared insanity to a divine gift and "the source of chief blessings among men." Don't be quick to judge another person until you know what underlies their moods and behaviors.

I am from Taiwan.Thanks for the report.I can't agree with you more.
...and the conservatives think Obama was bad? Ma wasn't even born in Taiwan, and both of his daughters are US citizens and will probably stay in the States their whole lives.
How can you trust a man whose daughters won't even live in the same country that he is governing? Of course he won't care if he screws up Taiwan, plain and simple.
""your future is on your own..."" This's Ma's only policy....
well, I am Taiwanese. This article says a lot for the outrages of ordinary people. Ma is a real bumbler and we have to suffer for another 3 more years. thanks for the insight.
I think the website should list out who the author is. maybe it's in the print edition but for those of us who do not have access to it want to see some credential.
this article does point out some of the worst problems we taiwanese face right now. I myself is a person with two jobs to live a somewhat comfortable life (but still no money to become a homeowner). I guess a lot of us are lucky enough to be even having a job (considering greece and spain and such), but the government still has a lot to do to improve the lives of everyday people.
but then again, I'll be damned if we ever go back to that blood-sucking corrupted man and his family.
I'd rather be poor then being an idiot blinded by a no-good president and his family
what a shame of my country, Ma has spent last two weeks opposing this news, about how "bumbler" should be translated. They assume it's a word mean clever person pretending foolish. WORST PRESIDENT EVER
Accomplishments by losing Taiwan sovereignty, violating human rights and rejecting visiting visa of Dalai Lama because China is against this Nobel peace laureate?
Ma the eye thinker
Taiwan voted CEO can only spend money, but earns not a penny.
Ma's image shines originally due to his distinguished rectitude, yet now his reputation is suffocating just like Taiwan's economy. For over five and a half years, Ma conducted all hat and no cattle. Ma government's policy making error results in Taiwan economic crisis.
Even though Ma promised to open free-trade agreement with China, he allowed only 5% of mainland funding in Taiwan. As a shortsighted dealer with mainland China, Ma government did not foresee the chances the thriving market can provide by opening more funding for China to invest in Taiwan. Instead, the old KMT beneficiaries play monopoly in Taiwan, retaining their position. Ma's stingy policy violates fundamental International financial cooperation, which proves ineffective economic return.
The skyrocketing housing price in Taiwan, was seen on surface caused primary by the rise of the commodity price. However, the sad truth is that Central bank of the Republic China did not detected the bigger scheme behind the scene. The world powers, United States and European government utilize devaluation to solve huge national debt, by selling huge amount of foreign currency, permitting excessive growth of the money supply which cased inflation. Yet Fai-Nan Peng, the chief of Central bank made a decision error. Under Peng's lead, the Central bank of Republic of China bought US dollars instead of gold, commodities, and other equivalents. While the US dollars continue to devalue, the price of commodities rises, therefore the housing price rises.
Ma often shuns away from responsibilities and beats around the bush when facing criticism. The worsening Taiwan economic suggests that his decision making logic errs, thus the policies err, consequently the economic numbers err. These are the main causes of all the problems and outrage. Why would Ma and his government working group failed to lead Taiwan to economic recovery? First, the underlying reason is that Ma is never, neither, a successful investor nor an entrepreneur. How could Taiwanese people expect Ma, a scholar lack of successful experiences in real world to play this important role? He could not even create a penny for Taiwanese people. Moreover, Chen Chong, Premier of the executive Yuan, well-known as a "talented" financial leader, is in fact only a law expert who once took positions as officials in Taiwan's financial circles. This gifted scholar's speech and plans can only play to win in Chinese Martial Arts Novel, but in real life he is nothing. Third, economy minister keep publish policies that loses money, with useless slogans, repetitive failures. Finally, finance Minister Chang Sheng- He, recently executes a serious of surcharged "fees" with ridiculous logical fallacy. These fees include the stock income tax, the national health insurance premium, the ordinary insurance premium of labor insurance. Originally Chang intends to harvest more government revenue under the name of justice and fairness, yet the result only turns worse. The reason behind this scene can be explained. The progressive tax rate in Taiwan is 40%, yet the exemption and deduction rate is very low, plus a lot of life expenses cannot claim deduction. Corporate income tax and individual income tax are declared together. While the government enforces low corporate income tax, the tax burden comes to individual income tax. In the meantime, majority shareholders can use all kinds of ways to save tax, including pump and dump scheme before cash dividend date. This makes the majority shareholders gain a lot of profit, but pays little tax. Apparently, Chang's designed mechanism is far from perfect---rising tax burden comes to middle class; the poor, tax exempted; the rich, tax avoidance. Evidence proved that Taiwan government often undergo revenue crisis. Even all the new created tax items such as the stock income tax, the national health insurance premium, the ordinary insurance premium of labor insurance, cannot compensate for the huge escaped amount of corporate income tax, instead, only causes stock and capital market to shrink.
These incapable decision makers continue to support each other, eventually leading Taiwan not toward recovery, but collapse, losing all its past wonders and shine.
It is rude to call a country leader "bumbler". Nevertheless, the economy performance of Taiwan is indeed much better than most the countries in the world, including those so called "developed" countries like U.S., Italy, Spain and many other European countries.
Also, the data doesn't seem to tell the true story. For example, it says number of families below the poverty line has leapt. As a matter of fact, this is because the Taiwan government lowered the bar of family income to consider as "poverty".
In my view, the author does not understand Taiwan very well therefore this article is meaningless.
Thank you The Economist for bringing international attention to Taiwan's current affairs, or rather, current headache: for the Taiwanese have been stuck with this Ma guy for too long and Ma is the main cause of Taiwan's political and economic miseries. Thank you for helping the Taiwanese by pointing out the obvious from a neutral perspective, otherwise oftentimes it's lost in the daily squabbles domestically. Please continue the good works of publishing critical analyses of things that matter.
苦民所苦? 苦民更苦 ! 全民皆苦, 馬獨樂.
The worst thing that the article did not mention is how the media, including TV and Newspaper in Taiwan, under the compromise of Ma Government, is gradually handed over to the China-closed entrepreneurs.
This is just beginning and it will cause audacious harm to Taiwan.
Why people voted the bumbler? God Bless Taiwan!
I think " Ma " have to apologize for all taiwanese. First of all, He don't have any power to ruin taiwan , ahhh..... why not they can not judge .. the poorly thing is even some and very few(13%) of taiwanese still do not see what the person they voted for .
Ma in-joke corruption Taiwan nationals property tens of billions as part of his presidential campaign by funding, he was such an asshole!
being a Taiwanese who doesn't live in the country...I have to say this article is a little lopsided. I'm no expert is politics nor economics, but it doesn't take a scholar to feel the recent global economy turmoils.
Looking around, Taiwan is still posting y-o-y GDP growth of 1% (forecasted for 2012), compared to Japan's 1.4% and US 2% (Q3 2012). Unemployment rate in Taiwan is 4.32% (Sept. 2012), compared to Japan's 4.2% (Sept. 2012), and US' 7.9% (Nov. 2012). Crime rate from the perspective of prisoner/per capita in Taiwan is 250/per 100,000 compared to US' 715/per 100,000 (186% more than Taiwan). From a consumer point of view, Taiwanese enjoy just approx. 70% (excl. rent) of US' New York's cost of living. From these rough comparisons (by no means the best measure), Taiwan isn't doing too terrible....actually, it's actually doing better than some of the world's most developed countries. Heck, they even enjoy a Universal Health Care system that Canada can't even compare to (in terms of cost for patients).
Again, I'm no expert, but some figures and straight-up comparisons against major world superpowers (aka. Japan and the US) draws a little different conclusion than what this article is outlining. Just my 2 cent for all these commenters who're just criticizing things without any justifications.
Oh, and Im not a blue nor a green (parties in Taiwan), so I'm really commenting based on how I feel.
This report touches everyone's heart!!
The problem is: there is no better leader in Taiwan. Mr. Ma is the best among all bumblers, like it or not. I still think he has done the best job. The Economist Magazine, on the other hand, has more dumb editors who only know how to twist facts or criticize with heavily biased views. Sorry for the magazine, I will cancel my subscription.
I cannot agree more about this. Thanks for speaking for us.
Ma's individual bumbler and the failure of Ma's administration governance are outcomes, not causes. Crises emerging in Taiwan in such a short period of time essentially originate from Ma's personal hypocrisy and racism preference.
I think the opposite is true. The KMT is more professional in money-laundering businesses than the DPP in its 50+ years of governance. I don't intend to defend for the DPP fanatics, but their governance overall do achieve higher approval rating than the KMT counterparts (especially in city/county polls).

Helen - Thank you very much for the valuable information on Lloyd Fryer. I am definitely interested any additional information you may have on Lloyd's parents. I located the Fryers in the 1850 Census for Pendleton County, KY but both Lloyd and his father was listed as "Flord Fryer" so I was unable to verify this was the correct person. If its easier to email, please send it to my address on the forum. As far as Lloyd's Civil War pension records, I just recently received several documents from the National Archives. It included the application for his widow, Catherine Barry, and also my great-grandmother's application (Lloyd's daughter) after Catherine died in 1877. Anna Fryer was eligible for the pension until she reached 16 years of age in 1879. There wasn't a great deal of information on the Fryers but did provide more insight on the Barry family. Please let me know if you're interested in this information and I will be happy to send you copies of the documents. Notify Administrator about this message?

Adjusting to Accommodate Change
by Dale Carnegie
September 03, 2013
Throughout our career our roles and responsibilities are changing. Leading teams, leading meeting, communication our vision and mission, are all challenges we confront as our careers progress. In this constantly changing career landscape, the ability to be truly adaptable may be more important than any other skill in determining out consistent, long-term success.
Adjust expectations. Maybe that promotion is not going to happen this year, after all. Maybe we are not going to be reporting to the same person, or managing exactly the same responsibilities. Adjust your expectations without lowering them, is possible. Focus on goals that are within your control.
Build relationships and networks. This is a fascination and rewarding strategy for adapting to change. Assume that change is just around the corner. Who would you want to know or get to know better, if that change were to occur? Start to develop those relationships now a build a larger network of support and encouragement.
Practice patience. When it comes to change, many times we want to get it over with and move on as quickly as possible. The cycle of change in the workplace often takes longer than we expect. The change has to be communicated, integrated, and there needs to be time for adjustment of all adjacent organizational functions. Individuals, too, need time to adjust to changing work environments.
Be adventurous. Take on the change as a challenge. Throw yourself into planning and preparation, engage others in the process, and chart out new career horizons that may appear as a result of the change. Tap into your courageous side.
Practice constructive discontent. Instead of clinging to the status quo, ask yourself, "How could I change for the better? How could the organization change for the better?" Instead of expressing discontent destructively through undermining change efforts, look for ways that the integration and process of change could work even better.
Try something new each day. Once we get thrown out of our comfort zone, we have a tendency to try to build a new one as quickly as we can. What is the sense of tearing down old walls, to just build new ones? Challenge yourself to try at least one new way of adjusting to change every day. Make it a positive and productive effort.
Ask for input. Others in our organization may have insight into the ways that we can better adjust to change. Ask for ideas and suggestions and for feedback on how well we are adjusting to change. Period of change are times to build bridges, not walls. They are times to be open to input, not defensive.
