Our latest story comes from a parent who is willing to be publicly identified. (ATL's default rule is anonymity.) It's from Nicole Black, author of the excellent Sui Generis blog.
This anecdote goes to show that the children of attorneys, like so many attorneys themselves, are quite good at ignoring evidence contrary to their positions, or offering up arguments with less-than-airtight logic. Here it is:
My four-year-old is adamant that she doesn't want another child in the family. She's of the opinion that one younger sister is more than enough, thank you very much.
Recently, when the possibility of another sibling came up, she explained that when we have lots of company, there wouldn't be enough room at the kitchen table and we'd have to "put the baby outside on the deck." She quite conveniently forgot about the dining room table.
On another occasion, she explained to my husband that we couldn't have another baby since "that car that just drove by only had two kids in it."
Well there you go. Talk about great logic. She sure convinced me.
Okay, perhaps that's not the most persuasive argument we've ever heard. But at least she's only four; she has lots of time to hone her logical reasoning. We've heard contentions of similar ridiculousness from attorneys ten times her age.

Document Number: 4229Biennial Performance Reports: Disproportionality - The 1997 amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) require states to collect and examine data on disproportionality, the over- or under-representation of students from particular racial/ethnic groups receiving special education services in relation to the representation of that group in the total student population. This report, from Project Forum of the National Association of State Directors of Special Education, Inc. (NASDSE), is a brief analysis of the types of information about disproportionality that states submitted to the U.S. Department of Education in May 2002. According to this report, more than three quarters of states reported one or more areas or types of disproportionality. (Eve M�ller and Joy Markowitz, Quick Turn Around, NASDSE, January 2003)...

When you think of hybrid and electric cars, you think of boring and awkward design matched with some not-so-exciting performance figures. The first cars that come to mind are the cheese-wedge shaped Toyota Prius and the eye-sore that is known as the Nissan Leaf. However, it seems like some supercar manufactures are jumping in on the electric and hybrid market with their own creations. Now while these cars may not be considered an 'everyday' option, they are still tapping into fuel-efficient technologies to prove that going green isn't always dull and boring. Many of the supercars listed here are being created for one of two reasons. First, they letting supercar manufacturers put their technologies on display and allow them to study what is possible when the world inevitably heads down the electrified and hybridized future. The other reason is reducing the overall fuel-economy of their full model lineup to help them save money on heavy government fines for producing "standard" gasoline-powered cars that don't meet CO2 emissions or fuel-economy standards. Each one of the supercars listed here is either in development and will be on sale in the near future, or on sale now. (But you probably can't afford them, sadly.)
Hop onto any car forum these days that deals with Porsches—or, if you prefer the Luddite approach, walk in on a conversation at a Cars & Coffee—and odds are good that, before too long, you'll hear somebody complaining about the new Porsche 918 Spyder. "They should just junk all that hybrid gear," these armchair engineers and Monday morning marketing planners say. "It'd be such a better car if they cut out the weight of the batteries and strapped some turbos onto the engine instead." Or they'll act like they're the 918 Spyder's psychiatrist. "If they could just stick in a manual transmission, crank up the output of the engine, and leave out the gas-saving bits, then they'd really get to the soul of the car." Or, best of all, they'll act like they know better than Porsche. "Porsche made a huge mistake making this car a hybrid, they made a huge mistake making it a targa, and they made a huge mistake revealing the car so early. They'll never sell 918 examples. It's a huge flop, and they don't even know it." Well, personally, I'm starting to get a little irritated with all these folks bitching about the 918 Spyder—and the perceived flaws of a car nobody has even driven yet in final form. I know, I know, everybody's entitled to his or her opinion...but so am I. And unlike most people on the Internet, I'm paid to express my opinion every now and again. All those folks complaining about the 918 Spyder's apparent flaws—the plug-in hybrid powertrain, the trick rear-wheel steering, the PDK transmission—are missing the point of the car. The 918 Spyder is a supercar, not a street-legal race car. Supercars aren't necessarily about the rawest possible driving experience—they're about being loud (visually and sonically), fast, and outrageous. And they're also a chance for car companies to show off the technologies they plan on using in the future.
Porsche is basically using the 918 Spyder as a development program for the technologies of tomorrow's "ordinary" Porsches. Yes, it's silly to demand that a limited run of less than 1,000 supercars conform to emissions standards when Ford sells 650,000 F-Series pickups every year in the U.S. alone. But Porsche isn't developing performance hybrid technology just for the 918 918 Spyder owners; it's for the hundreds of thousands of people who will buy Panameras and Cayennes and 911s and Caymans and Boxsters in the next decade. And on that scale, saving fuel and cutting down on emissions starts to make sense. Supercars aren't just sports cars for the super-rich. They're proving grounds for the sports cars of tomorrow for everyone else, too. Just ask the 959. This isn't to say I'm one of those people who thinks people who want a "raw driving experience" are Luddites who need to join the modern day, mind you. I'm still pissed that Porsche isn't offering a stick shift on the new GT3 and Turbo. Two of my favorite cars are the new Shelby GT500 and the Scion FR-S, specifically because they're so raw, direct and uncultured. I love a pure sports car that minimizes the distance between vehicle and driver. But that's not what an $845,000 Porsche should be. That's what the GT2 and GT3 and Cayman R should be, but not the 918 Spyder. It should be what it is—a technological wünderwagen that advances the state of automotive performance by any and every means available. That includes lightweight construction, advanced materials, clever packaging, active aerodynamics—and yes, even batteries and electric motors.
Because there are some distinct performance benefits to electric motors. They fill in the lower end of a high-revving engine's torque curve astoundingly well—which is what LaFerrari and the P1 use them for, too. They provide instant supplementary power without the lag of a turbocharger or the energy drain of a supercharger. They can be recharged by the act of driving itself, unlike nitrous oxide, and can save wear and tear on the brakes by absorbing and reusing some of that stopping energy. Porsche has built a car that weighs 3,700 pounds, yet can still lap the Nordschleife in about seven minutes flat, if Walter Röhrl is to be believed. That's astounding. They've made a single car that can drive 15 miles without using a drop of gasoline and blast from 0-60 in 2.8 seconds on the way to a 211 mph top speed. If Porsche stripped all the electric bits out of it, yes, it'd be a few hundred pounds lighter and a couple hundred grand cheaper—but it probably wouldn't be anywhere nearly as quick as it is. At which point, we'd be asking, "Why pay $500,000 for this car when a new 911 GT3 is just as fast and just as fun for a quarter of the price?" Cutting it down to the proverbial wheel, motor and stick shift would produce a car that wasn't nearly as fast nor as flexible as the 918 Spyder (or P1 or LaFerrari). It wouldn't lap the 'Ring in seven minutes with Jesus behind the wheel, let alone Walter Röhrl. It would be a more involving, more direct driving experience, true. And I'd love to drive the piss out of that car. Until I stacked it into an oak tree. Because that car would be a nightmare to control, unless you were a professional racing driver. And even Zebby Vettel wouldn't be able to go as fast on a regular road in that hypothetical Porsche as he would in a 918.
Besides, most supercar owners will never come close pushing the car as hard as a racing driver, or even some true blue hoon like you or me. Because most supercar buyers are not like us. They do not want the rawest, rarest, most untamed driving experience. They will never push their cars to 10/10ths in the turns, never take them on track, never intentionally balance on the knife's edge between controlled oversteer and uncontrolled ohcrapisteer. They want a car that accelerates like a bat out of hell, draws attention like a Jessica Alba nip-slip, can take a corner really hard that one time every few months when they're showing off for their friends, and can win every bench-race a jag at the hotel bar can throw at it. And yes, there are a lot of supercar buyers out there who don't care how much gasoline their cars burn. But there are also a lot of supercar buyers who are very public people with very public perceptions they want to maintain and egos that require adulation (or self-esteem issues that mean they react poorly to disapproval), for whom the idea of a plug-in hybrid supercar that looks amazing, is incredibly fast and gets 50-90 mpg while cruising through Beverly Hills is a very appealing car indeed. Porsche is not staffed by idiots. We wouldn't trust them if they were. They made a GT3 RS, they made a GT3 RS 4.0, and then they turned out a 991-series GT3 without a stick shift. They clearly didn't do this in a vacuum. They talked with their engineers and conducted interviews with buyers and thought long and hard about it. And they went with a choice that made the car both faster, more efficient and easier to use, even knowing that it would piss people off. And that was just with a 911 variant that's pretty cheap to build once you've got the 911 assembly line turning. Imagine the time, energy and deep thought they put into making a run of 918 unique cars that cost $845,000 a pop. The 918 Spyder is what it's supposed to be: a supercar. Supercars aren't supposed to be entirely logical. They're supposed to be wild, expensive, fast as hell...and futuristic. It should be packed with every high-tech go-fast weapon a car maker can legally and financially cram under its shapely skin. And that's just what Porsche has done with the 918 Spyder. So instead of griping and groaning about how you wish it was a million-dollar Cayman with a 700 horsepower V8 or the second coming of the 911 GT3 RS 4.0—stop, take a breath, and appreciate the electromechanical magic, the uncompromising pursuit of performance, the melding of environmental responsibility and earth-shattering power that is the Porsche 918 Spyder. Then shut up.

*What he actually said was that they'd be shooting a scene to which a CG Ant-Man would be added later, of Ant-Man jumping out the window of this apartment where Ant-Man lives. Here's his building, I didn't see them do anything to the sign (though they could always alter it digitally later):
The scene, as it was decribed, involved Ant-Man jumping out the window of that building and onto the roof of this car. Apologies if I have ruined the movie for you.
Oh, and here's a giraffe in a trash can, which was specifically placed there by the crew, and thus may or may not be important. Probably the lynchpin of the entire plot.

All the latest on the world's youngest royals
And a Posh poncho may even be a possibility, Victoria having once said: "I fell in love with ponchos when I was pregnant with Cruz".
"They were my pals, the only things that had room for my tummy, my boobs and my back."
Despite the fact that her new collection is loaded with pretty pastels and that bold colour blocking is very now, Victoria is keener on more muted colours during her pregnancies.
But one thing we can count on is that the 37-year-old will not swap style for comfort, and will most certainly be clad in towering heels, the former Spice Girl's trademark.
She even states in her style book, That Extra Half an Inch, that she swears by footwear boasting six inches, deeming kitten heels "unfavourable" for the legs.

The spiritual sequel to "That 70's Show," Take Me Home Tonight, is ready to rock with a new red-band trailer. You can tell because it's wearing a necktie as if it were a bandana.
Meet the website that's in every NRA member's Google Reader.
Spider-Man 3 should have launched Topher Grace onto the A-list. But then people saw the movie. Now he's returning to what he does best… previous decade-based comedy.
Tom Shadyac is stepping out of the trailer park and back behind the camera. The Ace Ventura director will next take on a Sam Kinison biopic for HBO Films. The film is based on the memoir Brother Sam: The Short, Spectacular Life of Sam Kinison.

Rutgers Nose Tackle Ike Holmes Out For The Season
By Matt Sugam
PISCATAWAY – After two disappointing seasons, Ike Holmes was finally coming into his own. He'd gone from a highly touted recruit to anonymity. That was until this past spring when Holmes emerged as the starter and carried that momentum into the season.
Now, Holmes season gets cut short by a wrist injury that apparently occurred during the Arkansas game.
"Ike Holmes is going to be out for the season," head coach Kyle Flood said following today's practice. "His wrist injury is a little more serious than we had expected initially. We're disappointed that this had happened to him because he was having a nice year for us."
Holmes had nine tackles and one and a half tackles for a loss, but his numbers don't tell the full story.
"He was being real productive in terms of holding double teams up," defensive lineman Scott Vallone said. "He was demanding double teams which any good nose guard should accompany himself with and I think he was doing a good job of maintaining his ground when he was taking those double teams."
Vallone will have to help fill that role. He'll now have to take a few more reps at nose tackle after mainly seeing times at the three technique. However, Rutgers will play musical chairs along the defensive line. Michael Larrow, returns this week and can play multiple positions on the line, as can Kenneth Kirksey. Defensive end Marvin Booker (lower leg) is expected to return this week.
Unfortunately for the Scarlet Knights, it doesn't appear that they'll be getting defensive lineman Al Page (lower leg) back anytime soon. Or even this season.
"I don't know if we expect Al Page back," Flood said. "Right now it's certainly longer than we have hoped already and we're exploring a couple different options."
As for running back Savon Huggins – who participated in contact for the first time since his injury against Howard – Flood was happy with what he saw.
"It was good to see him running at full speed," Flood said. "He looked healthy. It was nice."

Presidential Speech
Good Evening! I would like to recognize the presence of ChunSha, representing the office of Gov. George Pataki, Consul General Cecilia Rebong, Verlia Brown, President of the New York State Nurses Association, members of the advisory council of the Philippine Nurses Association of New York – Lolita Compas, Filipinas Lowery, Rey Rivera, and Dr. Pio Paunon. Distinguished guests, family and friends…..
I am honored to stand before you and grateful for your support to the Philippine Nurses Association of New York. As president, I am also excited to represent thousands of Filipino nurses who have created an image of compassion, courage, creativity, and commitment to the nursing profession.
Nursing is all about the art of caring. As a group, Filipino nurses have been known for their work ethic, loyalty to employers but most of all, for our tenderness in caring for our patients. Our continued enthusiasm to care and heal people is incredible. But our compassion must transcend beyond caring for our patients. We, as nurses, must care deeply about the direction of nursing in healthcare. The challenge for us is to become actively involved in our own profession.
For most of us, we left the Philippines with one suit case, a good head on our shoulders, and a brave heart to face life in a foreign land. The culture was new to us. We were in for a culture shock. We found the Philippine Nurses Association to heal and carry us through this difficult transition. My fellow nurses, that took courage and we had demonstrated that. In the process, we have become nurse leaders in clinical practice, administration, education, community service, and research. Your dedication as nurse leaders are impressive and tonight, you are recognized. With your continued support and dedication towards excellence, I am confident that we can reach out to you for mentorship and guidance.
In order for our Association to grow, we must think in terms of creative means of recruiting new members and more importantly future leaders. The newly elected board for 2006-2008 truly represents the different boroughs of New York. This will be an amazing journey for everyone.
Our organization offers opportunities to share and showcase your talents. Be a part of it!
PNA would not exist if it were not for the commitment of its members and the support of our friends. Your presence tonight shows your belief that the Filipino-American nurse is an important part of our healthcare system.
We are a voluntary organization. After putting in our eight hour or 12-hour shifts, we still find the time to volunteer. The work goes unrecognized at times, but tonight we celebrate that hard work.
We would like to thank our families and significant others because without them, we would not be here. Your tireless support, generosity and understanding - be it driving your spouses to meetings, cooking dinner for the kids, or simply staying up late to help us with our PNA projects, are priceless.
Taos-puso akong nagpapasalamat at nagagalak sa inyong pagtangkilik hindi lamang sa isa't-isa at sa ating iba pang mga kaibigan. I am grateful and happy for your support not only to each other but also to all our fellow American nurses and friends. Let us spread the Bayanihan Spirit which is the spirit of sharing and giving!
To our esteemed guests, awardees, family, and friends let us give them a big round of applause.
On behalf of the executive board of PNA-NY, we sincerely appreciate your presence tonight and we look forward for your continued support and commitment. LET US ALL RISE TO THE CHALLENGE.
God Bless America. MABUHAY!

Alex Turko (@aturko_23)
By now everyone has heard that Florida State defensive coordinator, Mark Stoops, has accepted the head coaching vacancy at Kentucky. Kentucky is excited to get a good recruiter, a guy that knows his X's and O's and overall a good person, as they should be. But should Noles fans be upset that Stoops is departing?
Stoops is the general of the number two total defense in the country. But is two good enough? What games did this "tenacious" defense win for the Noles in his three-year reign?
Stoops' defense was known for giving up late scoring drives to cost the Noles the lead, and in some cases, the win. A late scoring drive against Oklahoma in college football's primetime game last year put FSU behind late in the fourth and eventually cost them the game. Later that November, the defense gave up a late scoring drive to a bad Virginia offense that cost the Seminoles a victory. These last minute drives don't even take into account the 35 points given up to a lesser opponent in Wake Forest.
I think this years' NC State game proved Stoops' defensive statistics are inflated by poor competition. Florida State was winning 16-0 at half and allowed the Wolfpack to score 17 unanswered points. With the talent-laden roster that FSU has, an inferior opponent should never be able to do this. The few points scored early in the year by Division II foes and weak ACC offenses have boosted the Seminoles statistics to mask the underlying truth. Against Virginia Tech, barring a miracle 39-yard scamper by Rashad Greene, the defense gave up another disappointing late score that cost Florida State the lead, but thankfully not the win.
Stoops' inability to blitz has been a major disappointment, and you have to wonder how his scheme would work without a defensive line of this caliber. His defense allowed 37 points to the Florida Gators, who are 3rd to last in the SEC in total offense. Although I am more lenient on this performance as the offense turned the ball over 5 times.
I think Mark Stoops gets way too much credit for shutting out below average opponents. The Seminoles are loaded on the defensive side of the ball with NFL talent, and to calm the nerves of the Seminole faithful, we will be just fine with anyone we hire. I truly wish Mark Stoops the best of luck, and appreciate the turnaround he has brought to this program's defense. Thanks for the turn-around coach, but I'm excited for the next step in this team's history.

Last Year: (9-3, 4-0) District 12-3A
Coach: Seth Stinton (39-11) 4 Years
Last Postseason Appearance: 2012 DII Area Finalist
Players to Watch: ATH Jackson Webb, QB C.J Tyler, RB Marcus Ellis, ATH Cameron Hunter, C Dylan Cardwell, WR Tom Whitson, WR Xavier Mason, SS Walker Montoya, WR J.C. Cottrell, OLB Zach Torres, LB Cameron Brewer, OT Jacob Carlson, C Austin Reese
Preview: No problem for Stinton and his staff adjusting to the new classification of 3A. With a year under their belts in the district and familiarity with the new teams, the Cardinals are the team to watch.
ATH Jackson Webb is play-maker and tough to bring down in the open field. QB C.J Tyler will get his feet wet taking the snaps, but plenty of experience surrounds him that should help him find his groove. The Cardinals should find their way through the district and claim their 2nd consecutive crown.

Changes of the liver volume and the Child-Pugh score after high dose hypofractionated radiotherapy in patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma
Kim YI, Park HC, Lim do H, Park HJ, Kang SW, Park SY, Kim JS, Han Y, Paik SW. Radiat Oncol J. 2012 Dec;30(4):189-96. doi: 10.3857/roj.2012.30.4.189. Epub 2012 Dec 31.
Department of Radiation Oncology, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
PURPOSE: To investigate the safety of high dose hypofractionated radiotherapy (RT) in patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in terms of liver volumetric changes and clinical liver function.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 16 patients with small HCC who were treated with high dose hypofractionated RT between 2006 and 2009. The serial changes of the liver volumetric parameter were analyzed from pre-RT and follow-up (FU) computed tomography (CT) scans. We estimated linear time trends of whole liver volume using a linear mixed model. The serial changes of the Child-Pugh (CP) scores were also analyzed in relation to the volumetric changes.
RESULTS: Mean pre-RT volume of entire liver was 1,192.2 mL (range, 502.6 to 1,310.2 mL) and mean clinical target volume was 14.7 mL (range, 1.56 to 70.07 mL). Fourteen (87.5%) patients had 4 FU CT sets and 2 (12.5%) patients had 3 FU CT sets. Mean interval between FU CT acquisition was 2.5 months. After considering age, gender and the irradiated liver volume as a fixed effects, the mixed model analysis confirmed that the change in liver volume is not significant throughout the time course of FU periods. Majority of patients had a CP score change less than 2 except in 1 patient who had CP score change more than 3.
CONCLUSION: The high dose hypofractionated RT for small HCC is relatively safe and feasible in terms of liver volumetric changes and clinical liver function.

Windows combine coastal toughness with beautiful design and size flexibility
FARGO, N.D. – Integrity from Marvin Windows and Doors has introduced Special Sizes on its Wood-Ultrex windows for Impact Zone 3 (IZ3) to help coastal homes and buildings weather the storm.
Special Sizes, launched in 2012 on the Wood-Ultrex line, is enormously popular among builders and remodelers who need a perfect fit for non-standard-sized windows. With products available in 1/64" increments within the size matrix, Wood-Ultrex Special Sizes meet a need for high-quality fiberglass windows in the growing R&R market.
Now the quality, beauty and durability of Wood-Ultrex Special Sizes is available for IZ3 with IMPACT features including laminated glass and a multipoint sequential locking system to ensure consistent and secure weather-tight performance.
"Coastal building applications require some of the toughest products," said Becky Felling, Director of Marketing at Integrity Windows and Doors. "When a home or building is in a hurricane zone, the stakes are even higher. Having an impact-rated window that performs well can make the difference between a structure that stands — and one that is destroyed."
Much of the damage in severe storms occurs when windows or doors fail. When the home's exterior seal is breached, wind and water can enter. That can lead to water damage, structural damage – even the roof lifting off.
Integrity's IZ products have laminated glass to help keep the exterior seal intact. In addition to the special laminate used for IZ3 products, Integrity's glass is energy efficient, with LoĒ2-272® and LoĒ3-366® offered, so homeowners who choose Integrity get both safety and energy efficiency. And since Ultrex is naturally so durable, a Wood-Ultrex IZ3 window looks just like any other Integrity window, with no visible reinforcements or clips to distract from its beauty. Optional corrosion-resistant hardware ensures that Integrity's coastal hardware fights off rust even with constant exposure to salt, sun and sand.
Integrity delivers more than top performance. As part of its Built to Perform® promise, Integrity's IZ3 Wood-Ultrex Special Size windows are delivered to the dealer within 10 business days.
Wood-Ultrex IZ3 windows in Special Sizes are available in casement, awnings, double hungs, polygons, picture and transom units. Homeowners, builders and remodelers have the choice of numerous configurations with IZ3 certified mulls for design flexibility. Integrity's Wood-Ultrex IZ3 windows in Special Sizes offer all current product options such as grilles, exterior colors, hardware finishes, screens and Ultrex Exterior Trim for a beautifully complete look. IZ3 windows are available in both Special Sizes and Standard Sizes nationwide.
"Builders, remodelers and homeowners love our Wood-Ultrex line, our Special Sizes and our Impact products," Felling said. "It just made sense to put them all together for a complete coastal solution. Wood-Ultrex IMPACT windows in Special Sizes go beyond the coast, though. They're great for any home or building that needs a little extra security. For instance, if a homeowner is worried about break-ins, this window could be a great solution for the first floor. The laminated glass provides a strong barrier against forced entry and cannot be cut by glasscutters. Wherever they are used, specially sized Wood-Ultrex IMPACT windows combine the power of Ultrex, the beauty of wood and the flexibility of Special Sizes for an absolutely
unbeatable window."

Dungeons & Dragons Daggerdale giveaway!
The story revolves around Rezlus, an evil Zhentarim Cleric bent on bringing the power of the Black Lord Bane onto Daggerdale and the rest of Daggerfalls. The players are summoned by a mysterious mage and given the duty of defending their homeland. They face a daunting journey as they scale the Tower of the Void in an effort to stop the evil Rezlus. Players can take on the role of the melee expert Human Fighter, the quick and nimble Elven Rogue, the master of the arcane arts Halfling Wizard, and the powerful divine Dwarven Cleric. Each of these characters has their own playstyle and strategies that players will need to master. The key to success when playing in a party with other adventurers is choosing the right character to compliment the group's playstyle.

I'm giving away not one, but TWO copies of Daggerdale for PC.

I have a Tumblr now. Tumblrs are cool.
Not to worry! I'll still be blogging here all the time. People have been bugging me to get a Tumblr for a while now and I finally caved. Not familiar with the site? Well it's basically a blog but it's a cross between Twitter and Facebook really too because it's easy to reblog something from someone else you found interesting or simply "like" it.

X-Men: First Class character trailers
I tell ya, if X-Men: First Class doesn't turn out to be a great movie, I hope they paid their trailer editor a WHOLE LOTTA CASH for making it look so awesome. Empire Online has four new character trailers for us: Banshee, Havok, Beast and Mystique.
Pretty sweet, right? My favorite may be baby Mystique. Awwwww! X-Men: First Class hits theaters June 1st.

Is this a Lazarus Pit?
However, with actor Josh Pence added to the cast as a young Ra's this could just play into a backstory of his. Then again, why bother delving into Ra's backstory if it and/or the pit isn't going to play a part in the present-day plot? Hmmm....

May the Fourth Be With You All
Speaking of R2, this is one of the best mashups I've ever seen. This is Ript Apparel's t-shirt of the day and only available for a few more hours. In case you don't get the non-SW reference, this is a take on the John Cusack/Cameron Crowe film Say Anything. You can watch a bit of the classic scene here.
The next image comes via Pat Langton. He's the artist who did the nifty Batman Hanging Laundry image I posted last week. This is part of a trio of Retro Star Wars posters he designed.
This one's also by Langton but is part of his "Think" gallery. Certainly does make you think...

appellate courts
Civil Litigation
I've never understood (or abided by) the cufflink rule. Who really cares, as long as they're not ostentatious? I know plenty of associates who wear them.
Rule # 324: It is always worth a minute's delay to double check the spelling of the client's name.
Tell your clients that it doesn't matter whether they win or lose a case; rather, the important thing is that the lawyer gets paid.
When billing time for a meeting or other event that was also attended by one or more other lawyers at your firm, make sure your time description includes some activity in addition to the event itself, such as "prep for meeting." Otherwise, you run the risk that you will bill 2 hours for a meeting for which the other participants billed only 1 hour. This way, one of your 2 hours can be explained by the "prep" entry, and no two lawyers will be expected to spend exactly the same amount of time on "prep."
Rule#1. as a new associate, no matter what time you leave your office, take your garbage can and turn it over in your office. then kick the papers all over the place. the more garbage that is on your floor, the harder people will think you are working
No problem with cufflinks so long as they aren't obnoxious -- maybe keep those Magdalen college 'links in a drawer. But maybe not. It's the one shred of individualism you might have.
Rule 2: Never wear a bow tie unless you are over 80 and still an associate.
Rule #1001: Don't ask the librarians to do research for your kid's school project. Even though we're basically powerless, we still have the ability to re-prioritize your next "urgent" request.
Rule #1 for law students: Treat the librarians with kindness and respect - if they like you, they will make you look really good at what you do.
Keep a candy dish on your desk, and maintain a constant flow of chocolate. It's amazing how many partners are Reeses-freaks and Hershey hounds - they'll visit your office for the nip, and feel obligated to talk to you, thus initiating new relationships. Think of it as internal business development.
Rule #242 Exception: You may wear a bow tie if (a) you tie it yourself; (b) you are a board certified appellate specialist; and (c) you are secure enough in your manhood to stare down an NFL linebacker.
Totally disagree on the cufflinks! As long as they are not too loud, they add a bit of style. I wear them occassionally. It's one of the few ways a man can distinguish and indvidualize his attire. But never wear them to court. Definitely never wear them in front of a jury.
More seriously, this is sage advice I received from a senior attorney once: 99% of the time, no one will remember if your work product was a little late, as long as the work product is good. In contrast, 99% of the time, no one will remember that your work product was timelym if it is error-ridden. Moral: take a breath. Double check your work product.
When hosting drinks, order whisky or whiskey for yourself, never white wine.
Rule #69: treat the of counsel attorneys as they deserve to be treated: the child that was a mistake, or the butterface ladies when the lights turn on.
The golden rule: always remember to take everything with a grain of salt, because, after all, attorneys are nothing more than glorified paper pushers. Accept every task with enthusiasm, even if it involves entering data onto excel, a job that a middle schooler could do, because, after all, someone is being charged $500/hour for your time and your firm is making $460/hour for your time and you will likely get laid off in 2 years time, because you are beginning to enter data too fast or you have technically outgrown your responsibilities (which you really outgrew on day 1) and the firm needs to hire fresh talent that will take months to learn the jargon, and many more months to learn the data entry system, which is big bucks for the firm and that's all that matters. And be polite when you leave the firm or else you will be blacklisted from all document review jobs, which will be the only source of revenue for you since firms don't need an associate that has spent the last 2 years entering data.
Rule #2 (for non-Partners): Stand up for yourself, but pick your battles. Limit your battles to situations where: (1) You are correct; AND (2) the matter is important. If you follow these two rules, you will be conidered to have a backbone, but not be argumentative.
UPOD (Under Promise, Over Deliver) done.
don't go to law school. The employment stats are a lie
Of all the obnoxious office irrelevantia, bringing newborns to work is the worst. Is this the female's ceremonial display of her birthing prowess? Show me some cerebral legerdemain in work product instead. I'd rather have my cat come up and drop a freshly-killed mouse at my feet than indulge these women in their intrusive stretches for attention!
Rule #227 DO NOT TOUCH, OGLE or PROPOSITION the summer clerks, file clerks or new cute paralegals.
Rule #919 Never tell anyone at the office that you are hoping to sneak out early. You have guaranteed yourself the 4:30 PM call that destroys your plans.
Rule #111. Never buy non-refundable plane tickets for your vacation.
amen Herb Spencer!
Rule #1 -- get out of the law firm as fast as you can.
I love cufflinks on a guy, I don't see why not wearing them should be a rule
The rule of all rules: Understand what an "in-house" position is before you accept it: essentially, minimal legal expertise is required and you spend most of your time doing what an MBA does, whatever that is (sit, look pretty and be agreeable).
The most essential rule of all: Look busy.
1) condition your body for the endless hours of sitting on your ass and acting like a plant while you stare at the same document on your computer for hours so you can bill for it (think David Blane sitting on a chair motionless for 3 days straight)
2) Learn to make yourself relevant without rocking the boat by adding non-essential yet seemingly meaningful comments to others' "drafts"
If the firm has a designated parking area in or near your office building, you buy a car and drive it enough to let everyone know that it's yours. Then you park it in the firm parking lot and leave it there for long periods of time. Everyone will think you are working around the clock; you, of course, are taking public transportation to and from work.
There are only two rules for associates: 1. Respect the staff -- every single one of them. 2. Take pride in your work.
Now get this: a lawyer (partner or not, managing partner or not) who walks the halls in stocking feet (for men, read "socks") is having an affair. The lawyer gets the reputation of walking the halls in stockings/socks, then, when the lawyer disappears for a tryst, and the spouse calls, people will look into the lawyer's office and say, well, his/her shoes are here, so he/she must be around somewhere. But in fact those shoes beneath the desk are an extra pair kept their for the deception. And the lawyer has worn his/her regular shoes upon leaving the office for the tryst.
I thought everybody knew that old trick.
Rule No. 1: Be kind to everyone, ESPECIALLY to those people who you might think have no power: the security staff, librarians, office cleaners, cafeteria personnel, administrative staff, skycaps, and restaurant waitstaff. Why?
-- Because it's the right thing to do.
-- Because they're ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen, and you should always take care of the people who are taking care of you.
-- Because others notice. Mistreating the less-powerful invites those more powerful than yourself to mistreat you. And they will.
Rule No. 2: Be gracious. You can't control what happens to you but you can choose how you react to that which does happen to you. True story from my childhood. Father takes Mother to dinner along with both children. Father asks Mother what she's going to order. "Filet," she replies. He slams shut the menu and angrily growls, "Do you always have to order the most expensive thing on the menu?" She responds, "Then I'll have the chopped steak (hamburger)." "No, damn it," he says, "order the filet." She refuses. He insists. Argument ensues. Waiter comes to take order. She acquiesces and orders the filet. End result: Everyone had a horrid time yet the bill was exactly the same as it would have been had Father replied at the outset, "Excellent. Their filets here are delicious. You're sure to enjoy it." Lesson: You may have to do data entry. You may have to cancel a vacation. You may have to tear up a draft and start anew. You may have to forgive a colleague's or subordinate's error. Whatever it is you have to do, do it with grace. People will remember.
Rule No. 3: No one remembers how fast you get a job done, only how well. Do it right. Double-check. Double-check again.
Rule No. 4: If you don't know the answer, don't guess. Tell them you'll confirm the answer. Then do it.
Rule No. 5: Buy a book on etiquette. If you act like you don't belong, you won't be invited along. Doors slam shut on the uncouth yet, ironically, they can never hear them.
Rule No. 6: Send handwritten notes. LOTS of them. Thank those who have helped you. Congratulate others on their successes. Offer a word of encouragement to those who have suffered a setback. Remember other people's birthdays. Acknowledge the losses of others.
Rule No. 7: There is no limit to how far you can go provided you don't care who gets the credit, so give the credit to your team. They will be fiercely loyal to you in return. Besides, if you truly deserve the credit, everyone will know it yet will appreciate your magnanimity.
Rule No. 8: Judges and juries can smell insincerity and condescension from outside the courthouse. We all have egos, but we don't have to be arrogant.
Rule No. 9: Cutting corners is another name for cutting your throat. Don't do it.
Rule No. 10: There are a lot of lawyers in the world, but it's a small world. Guard your reputation and your integrity. Ultimately, they're all you have.
8:11pm is obviously a secretary and probably a dumb one at that.
- Never call yourself "Esq." It's pretentious.
- Never call anyone else "Esq." It's incorrect.
- Never say in 15 words what can be said in 6.
- Treat every other attorney like your priest/pastor/rabbi, etc.
- Show up.
Disagree about the candy - it attracts secretaries and paralegals. Also, women especially should not be seen with candy or sugar unless they are a model!
Obvious @ 9:04, you sound like one of those 8:11 is talking both to and about.
"Obvious," -- The comments of "Don't Forget . . ." at 8:11 unmistakably reflect the sagacity of a seasoned lawyer. New Rule: Recognize good advice when you get it.
"Rule No. 8: Judges and juries can smell insincerity and condescension from outside the courthouse. We all have egos, but we don't have to be arrogant."
Attention Matt Powers...Bill Gates on line 2 for you...
Rule # 313 Only the most pompous and arrogant attorneys wear bow ties,cuff links and tassel-loafers at the same time.
Rule #1000 - stop using 'Rule # ___" for posts.
Rule # ____ - referring to law students visiting the firm for interviews as "fresh meat" is too much of an "open and honest" law firm culture.

Zach Galifianakis is sittin' pretty once more after this weekend.
As Jeffrey Tambor said to him and Justin Bartha in The Hangover, "Never leave when you're on a heater." Well, The Hangover's heater continues, as it took top spot once more with an estimated $33.4 million. The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 opened up at #3, disappointing for the studio, but in line with Screen Junkies readers' predictions. Eddie Murphy's Imagine That opened with a paltry $5.7 million and the #6 spot. Sadly, this probably means Norbit 2 has been fast tracked.
This Weekend's Top Five:
1. The Hangover ($33.4 million)
2. Up ($30.5 million)
3. The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 ($25 million)
4. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian ($9.6 million)
5. Land of the Lost ($9.2 million)
