This project has come to an end, to learn about our new opportunities, visit our blog or sign up for our newsletter.
Make the holidays brighter for kids in your community!
The winter holidays should be a time of family togetherness and sharing of gifts, but they can be especially challenging for families in poverty, who have difficulty meeting basic needs. They can also be emotionally difficult for over 400,000 children who live without permanent families in foster care in the United States.
Will you help make the holidays brighter for these kids?
It's this SIMPLE!
1. GATHER your friends, family, coworkers—even your church or neighborhood!—for a Season of Giving Project. Ask guests to bring appropriate items to place in stockings for children in need.
2. LEARN about the organizations that help kids in need in your community. How can you support their work now and throughout the year?
3. GIVE the stockings to a community advocate or local charity for children.
4. SHARE your story at championsforkids.org/share. Let us know how many people were involved and how many items you collected. Thank you for being a Champion for Kids!
Stories from across America
Over the coming weeks, we'll be posting photos and stories of people across America who are donating stockings for children in need and being Champions for Kids in their community! Be sure to check back throughout the month to see the inspiring stories.
To share your story with us, click here and let us know how you helped children in your community!

StreetHype: DJ Moejo, the breakbeat chick
As part of our ongoing StreetHype section, we've decided to showcase some up and coming DJ talents. DJs break the latest music, and have been responsible for setting trends in Hip-Hop since DJ Kool Herc fathered the style.
Up and coming female vinyl spinner DJ Moejo has been tuned into her music scene for almost ten years now. She has made a name for herself as a true school breakbeat DJ and her fans and supporters can attest she's real behind the wheels of steel. DJ Moejo loves the music and she loves to vibe with the crowd's energy. No matter is she's got 10 of her closest friends on the dance floor or she's got 1000 loyal music lovers attending a festival.
We caught up with her to introduce her to our readers.
Paulie Pulaski: How did your start in becoming a DJ? How did you fall in love with vinyl when there are other options like CD Djing, Control Djing, and Laptop Djing? How long have you been a "DJ"?
DJ Moejo: I started Djing because I was always surrounded by good music and people who were into electronic dance music. I became friends with people who mixed music which lead into me trying it out and that is when I started to learn. I feel in love with vinyl a few months after I started trying to learn the craft. I first started playing on CDJ Pioneer 800s for the first few months but then I got to thinking if I am going to "DJ" I need to be a real DJ and learn how use the original method of mixing records, because there is a method to the madness. I play on Technic 1200 turntables when I'm mixing records and usually at the night club I jam on some CDJ Pioneers. I have been mixing since I was 19 years old so roughly 4 years. Its blood sweat and tears learning the art but if you stick with it you will understand its art in time.
How do you plan to capitalize on this buzz about Moejo?
Building a brand up, staying active within my scene and bringing my music and talent to face value. Launching my DjMoejo.com, and Playitbyearproductions.us websites to the world. Keep rockin' out my bookings, keeping a positive vibe around, keep grinding hard with practice and keeping in close touch with my friends, fans, loved ones, family, future business partners and letting good musical influences flow.
So what exactly is your style of music all about?
I play Breakbeats mostly. The breakbeat came from hip hop, and some breakbeats are slow like hip hop. Most breaks I play are very groovy, breakbeats sound like fast hip hop almost having extra high hats and deeper bass lines that just get your heart pumpin'. Electronic dance music is like an umbrella with many sub-culture genres within the "EDM" style.
What is your typical DJ set?
Well I usually play what I feel on how the crowd and I are connecting, I usually don't plan my DJ sets and those end up being the best ones. I play old school breaks to new school, hip-hop influenced breaks, late 90's early 2000 good radio track remixed breaks, girl and guy vocal breaks, dirty, funky, trance breaks, dub breaks, house breaks and lots of other unique breakbeat tracks. Some influences I have are Stanton Warriors, DJ Icey, Huda Hudia, Plump DJ's and newer producers tracks have always made their way into my sets.
So where can we find more music and learn more about you Moejo?
More information coming soon on www.DjMoejo.com

Food Truck Business Plan
How Much Does a Truck or Concession Trailer Cost?
Superior Food Trucks maintains an extremely competitive pricing model. Unfortunately there are so many factors to consider when pricing a truck that simply stating prices just won't work. We require a consultation with you to get an idea of exactly what you need to be successful, then we can get you a quote within a few hours. Every Menu is different so every Food Truck or Concession Trailer we build is different. We don't sell prefab cookie cutter units.
What size truck do I need?
Every truck is different, the most popular size is 18 foot, depending on your menu you may have the option of a 14 foot or 16 foot truck. Once we know your menu and equipment we can size the truck accordingly. Space is always a concern on a food truck and rarely you can have too much when you consider shelving, storage, freezers, sinks and all the equipment required for a comfortable working environment.
Where are we located? What are your business hours?
We are located in Lebanon Pa, just outside of Harrisburg the state capital. Our business hours are Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 5:00pm.
How do you ship your food trucks and how much does it cost?
The trailer or food truck can be picked up or you may choose to have it delivered to your location. You can get quotes and hire any shipping or export company that you want. We can also provide delivery of your vehicle at a rate of $1.85 per mile within the continental U.S.
What is your warranty?
Superior Food Trucks provides a warranty on all installed equipment we install, used trucks do not come with a warranty.
Why should I buy from your company?
This question is easy. We produce the highest quality kitchens on mechanically sound vehicles at the most competitive prices. We started building trucks more than 10 years ago and have more than 30 years in the high performance automotive field, producing engines for various motor sports. We do not sacrifice quality materials or workmanship to keep our rates competitive, we use our skills and in house machinery to facilitate high quality food trucks and trailers.
Do you supply permits?
We do not supply permits. You must contact your local health department as well as your fire marshal that will forward the requirements that we will follow in order to build your food truck to meet all code and regulations. There are hundreds of different health codes throughout the U.S. all codes will require at least the following: 3-compartment sink with drain boards (drain boards vary state to state), hand wash sink, fresh and gray water holding tanks. Hot water, smooth, clean wipe able and light colored interior surfaces. Cooking operations will require a commercial hood ventilation system with a stainless steel backsplash and a manual fire extinguisher.
Do I need fire suppression equipment?
A fire suppression unit is an emergency extinguishing system in which nozzles are placed under the commercial hood over each piece of cooking equipment with an open flame. Even if your local health inspector tells you that you are not required to have a fire suppression unit check with the fire marshal, he has higher jurisdiction than an inspector. If you choose not to have this unit installed and you travel out of your local area or into another state where it is required and mandatory, you will not be permitted to operate. Please contact your local health and fire marshal and ask them for all requirements so we may build the truck accordingly.
What is the deposit to place an order?
We require a 60% deposit, the balance of the final payment must clear the bank prior to pick up or delivery.
Can you put graphics on my food truck?
Yes, we offer full graphic design, including logo, truck design and provide full vinyl wraps for our trucks or paint. You may also choose to have us just build the truck and have your own graphics and artwork installed.
Do you give discounts based on volume?
Yes, we can price your build outs and discount them for multiple orders. We will also discount future purchases based on past deals.
Do you export food trucks outside the United States?
Yes, we export worldwide.
Will I need to pay sales tax on my food truck?
You will be required to pay Pennsylvania sales tax of 6%, when you register your food truck with your local DMV, you will be required to pay the difference in your local state tax if a higher tax rate.
Do You Finance?
No, we do not finance, however we can refer you to finance companies that may be able to provide financing for your new business.

Down-the-aisle style: Southern charm
The setting: Perched on the serene May River in the South Carolina Lowcountry, this Four-Star hotel is enveloped by maritime forests and marshes.

Post-ceremony, party under ancient oak trees or on the wraparound verandah.
8. Four Seasons Resort Jackson Hole
Down-the-aisle style: Mountain luxe
The setting: This lodge-like Five-Star hotel is surrounded by the majestic Grand Tetons, so there's no denying the ample photo opportunities. During the winter, toast your marriage (maybe with one of the local brews they offer) indoors by the massive stone fireplace in the Cottonwood ballroom, or opt for the grassy lawn when the weather is warmer.
Down-the-aisle style: Cowboy culinary
The setting: Sitting on 313 acres outside Houston, this small countryside inn is made up of Spanish-style casitas and is known for the bluebonnets that line the two-mile-long driveway—no florist necessary. The rose garden is the site for weddings, where an intimate crowd can watch you tie the knot under the Texan sun. Afterward, take a celebratory carriage ride around the property and treat your guests to inventive farm-to-table cuisine from the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star restaurant.
Down-the-aisle style: Exotic destination
The setting: This Dominican Republic resort is home to a stone chapel that overlooks a marina, with a piazza and small courtyard in front—primed for posing. Receptions can be held in the resort's various restaurants—including the poolside Bistrot —where you can choose your cuisine from plenty of options, including Italian, Latin, Asian, Arabic, Mexican and Texas barbecue. —Caroline Patek

Style Century Magazine
There's nothing like cracking open the pages of a new magazine...except when you don't have pages to crack. Or subscription fees to pay. For the last few months, Style Century Magazine has been popping up in our e-mail, a digital "glossy" that shows off a room and suggests links that help readers create a similar look of their own.
While the actual advertisements are slightly harder to spot, there's a distinct connection between publisher QM4G Media, Amazon, eBay and other auction houses, which supply the majority of links. Still, the photos are drool-worthy and the features on the likes of Ron Arad, Eva Zeisel pottery and London's bespoke furniture designers make for fascinating reads.
While the Style Century website is nice, it's flipping through the digital mags that really brings out our inner technology geek. Check out the current installment and spend some time virtually leafing through the back issues right here.

First Tier Corn-Filled Excrement: Cornell University Law School
Tuition: If you are eating breakfast right now, make sure to turn away before reading the following figure. Full-time law students at Cornell will be charged $59,360 in tuition, for the 2014-2015 school year! That is a ridiculous sum. This does not count fees. Keep in mind that this is the third best law school in New York.
Estimated Cost of Attendance: On this same page, the pigs list additional expenses at $20,069 – including student fees. This brings the published COA to $79,429. What a bargain, huh?!?! Does this come with weekly massages, the NFL Sunday Ticket, and free season admission to Yankee Stadium?
Don't forget that ABA-accredited diploma mills base living costs on the academic calendar. Seeing that actual law students will require expenses over the full year – and not nine months – we will prorate the following items: room and board; and personal/travel. For the purpose of this calculation, health insurance will remain unaffected. Although, students who use this will likely incur co-pays and out of pocket costs. Hopefully, the coverage lasts for the full 12 months.
After making the adjustments noted above, the more accurate, estimated COA – for one damn year of law school at Cornell Univer$ity – is $84,846! Who doesn't have that money in their couch cushions?!?! If this sickening amount doesn't strike you as outrageous, then you wouldn't get upset if a stranger walked up to you – and kicked you square in the nuts.
Ranking: According to US "News" & World Report, Cornell Univer$ity Law $chool is rated as the 13th best law school in the country. It shares this distinction with Georgetown University Law Cesspool. At these prices, this is still a ripoff – for the student. The "professors" and administrators likely feel that this cost is a great deal for pupils.
Employment Placement Statistics: On the right hand side of this page, you will see a chart for the Class of 2013. Based on this info, there were 193 members of this cohort. Of this total, 178 found jobs within nine months of graduation. Four JDs were enrolled in another advanced degree program, while eight others were unemployed – and three did not provide their status to the school. This leads to a published placement rate of 93.7 percent, i.e. 178/190.
You might see this as a great outlook, even for the 13th "greatest" diploma mill in the U.S. However, scroll down to the next section. You will note that 16 members of this class were in law school or university funded positions. If you were to remove these posts, then the placement rate would be a mere 85.3%, i.e. 162/190. Let that sink in, for a moment. Why in the hell would you enroll in this supposedly "elite" law school, for such pedestrian job prospects?!?!
Under Employment Type, the school claims that 22 men and women landed federal court clerkships. A total of 95 grads ended up in law firms of more than 500 attorneys. Roughly half of the students in this group found the type of work that they likely sought when they enrolled in this school.
Average Law Student Indebtedness: On March 11, 2014, Matt Leichter published an entry labeled "Record 14 Law Schools Didn't Report 2013 Graduate Debt to U.S. News." Cornell is the only Ivy League school that did not provide this number to USN&WR. It joins garbage in$TTTTiTTTTuTTTTion$ such as Cooley, Arizona Summit, Touro, Appalachian and La Verne, on this ignonimous list.
Leichter furnished the last reported average JD debt levels for these 14 toilets. The amount for Cornell University is listed as $140,000. Again, this is not the most recent cohort. Plus, the amount does not include debt from undergrad – and it does calculate interest while the student is enrolled.
Conclusion: This law school does not have enough integrity to list average law student indebtedness to a defunct magazine that ranks it in the top 14 institutions, every single year! Apparently, they don't want prospective students to focus on debt figures. In sum, if you attend this school, then you NEED to land an article III clerkship and Biglaw – in order to have a shot at making this bet pay off for you.
Lastly, Biglaw positions tend to be fleeting. If you do not produce a big-ass book of business quickly, then you will be shown the door within a few years. Do you suppose that you will then be in high demand by other firms or government agencies?!?! Those employers will assume that you are a loser. As David Segal noted in his epic New York Times piece, "Is Law School a Losing Game?" - from January 8, 2011 - "law school is a pie-eating contest where first prize is more pie."
By the way, you can watch a faculty pie-eating contest by the Cornell University Law School swine, via this hyperlink. As you can see, these pigs have no shame. They get paid up front, in full – while the students are left holding the gigantic bag of NON-DISCHARGEABLE debt. Too bad someone didn't stick an apple in their snouts – and shove a wooden stake up their portly asses.

Not this troll again. Even if the loans are forgiven after some time, here are the problems with that: (1) The debt is still hanging over the graduate. They will have a difficult time obtaining any type of credit and thus making any purchases. (2) The tax bill will be huge as the interest compounds and the tax bill is based off of the forgiven amount. (3) The forgiveness is not "free" as the tax payers are left holding the bill for the crappy education. (4) The trash pits tell students to borrow as much as they can because it will be forgiven. (5) The fact that students won't have to pay it back and the loans are given to everyone who applies encourages the trash pits to raise tuition year after year. The loans should absolutely be forgiven to free a generation burdened by debt. However, we also need to cut off the flow of money to the trash pits. There are too many lawyers and not enough jobs. There is no reason to allow free federal loans to go to the trash pits. It is time to stop the gravy train and the 4 hour "work" weeks of the professors making 6 figures.

Folks do not let the Ivy League veneer of this school fool you. Cornell Law School is not considered an elite school by most in the legal profession. Sure, it is in the T14, but so is Georgetown, which is a diploma mill that provides a coin toss chance of success.ReplyDelete
Also, I know a lot of kids who attended Cornell for undergrad (they could not get into UPenn, Columbia, Princeton, Harvard or Yale). I have even visited Ithaca, which is a depressing college town. I believe Cornell has a high stat for student suicides. Living Winters in Ithaca is akin to doing a stint at Sing Sing prison.
The kicker is this school charges more than Columbia and is in the middle of nowhere. As for Cornell lawyers, most that I have met are average. Nothing spectacular and for the price tag, you are better off passing on this school.

Cornell won't save you if you have an aire of toiletry about you. Not today. You need the entire Elite package.
There was a guy I recall in Bar Review who failed the CA bar and was back in NY for another Bar attempt there. You know once he failed that his firm in CA must've given him the Boot. And this was years ago.
The guy was a schlubby white male who could easily be mistaken for your average sub-IQ Dallas Cowboys fan at the local bar. I suppose NY Jets would be analogous in this case.
He had a look on him like passing NY would be his last hope.
Just because someone attends an elite school doesn't mean they'll be accepted in elite circles. This guy? Now if he was some 5'7 / 5'8 bleached-blonde chick with a Ms. America Smile and the 'right attitude' ... maybe.
Methinks his future was somewhat different, however.
Even if you get accepted to this school, it'd be best to realize that you need the entire package of intangible goods along with it to succeed. And at those tuition prices, plus anything from undergrad, and with the average Biglaw Associate lasting 2-3 years, I'd think long and hard on anything less than a full ride.

Thomas Jefferson School of Law is on the ropes and is in negotiations to restructure its bond debt. And while they probably got their coffers filled with a fresh infusion of student loan capital, it's still not looking good for them.

Blessed be the scambloggers, for they are truly the bringers of justice to a completely unjust system.
Let's take a look at some offerings from this overpriced toilet. We will start by perusing the LGBT Legal Clinic at Cornell Univer$ity.ReplyDelete
"Advocacy for Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Communities Clinic
The Advocacy for LGBT Communities Clinic (LGBT Clinic) at Cornell Law School is one of the only law school clinics in the country dedicated to serving members of the LGBT community. Students in the clinic have an extraordinary opportunity to contribute to the struggle for LGBT equality by representing individual people in a variety of legal matters and undertaking advocacy projects in conjunction with LGBT organizations.
Individual client cases in the LGBT Clinic have included:
• Fighting to obtain asylum for LGBT immigrants facing deportation to countries where they would face beatings, rape, and even murder such as Jamaica, Uganda, and Ukraine.
• Helping transgender women incarcerated in men's prisons obtain medical care, female clothing, and protection from sexual assault.
• Filing adoption petitions for LGBT parents seeking a legal relationship with their children.
• Assisting LGBT people in obtaining divorces and other family law relief."
Does anyone with an IQ above room temperature believe that serving in such a clinic is going to open up a bunch of solid career opportunities? If anything, this will marginalize you and limit your future job prospects.
"International Human Rights Clinic
The Cornell International Human Rights Clinic is devoted to working on a wide array of human rights projects, ranging from the development of materials for use in training foreign judges to filing briefs before U.S. and international courts. Clinic participants have filed both party and amicus briefs in U.S. Federal Court of Appeals, the European Court of Human Rights, U.S. Supreme Court, and have prepared reports for hearings before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. Clinic students have also undertaken international field research. Through the International Human Rights Clinic, Cornell Law students have helped strengthen the rule of law and legal processes in communities throughout the world. The Clinic provides free legal research and assistance to international NGOs working on key human rights projects."
Who gives a damn if you tangentially help train foreign pigs/judges?!?! Also, how many Cornell JDs are going to file motions in international courts? By the way, only legal pinheads care about "strengthening the rule of law." At least, these swine didn't mention the word "passion" in this description – as that should be confined to the bedroom.Replies

As a law student at this supposedly world-renowned in$titution of "higher learning," you can write onto something called the Legal Information Institute. From the commode's description:ReplyDelete
"The liibulletin is a Cornell Law School electronic journal. Its editorial board comprises second- and third-year law students, who are responsible for every aspect of the journal's management, from selecting decisions for commentary to researching, writing, editing, and producing the journal content in HTML. From 1995-2004, it covered the New York Court of Appeals. Since 2004-05, the bulletin has covered cases currently before the US Supreme Court. Bulletin content is available on this site and by (free) email subscription."
Yes, membership on this publication will lead to excellent opportunities, right?!?! Even at a "top" law school, employers will see you as an also ran – if you are a secondary or tertiary journal.
Now, take a look at the International Law Journal. Here is a partial listing:
"About the ILJ
The Law School will host the Cornell International Law Journal's Symposium: Never the Twain: Emerging U.S.-Chinese Business Law Relations, on Friday, February 21, 2014, from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
Founded in 1967, the Cornell International Law Journal (ILJ) is one of the oldest and most prominent international law journals in the United States. Three times a year, the Journal publishes scholarship that reflects the sweeping changes that are taking place in public and private international law. Each issue features articles by legal scholars, practitioners, and participants in international politics, as well as student-written notes.
Law students perform all editorial functions for the Journal. The Editorial Board selects articles and notes for publication, communicates with the authors, edits manuscripts for substance and style, and manages the Journal's financial and administrative affairs. Journal associates are the driving force behind the Journal and complete many sourcing, editing, and proving assignments, in addition to writing substantially publishable Student Notes on international law. Members are selected based on academic performance and writing ability."
This is not the Council on Foreign Relations, people. Hell, it is not even the Business Roundtable, i.e. a group of powerful, corporate leaders who actually shape events. Those men – and a few women – have an army of policyheads, politicians, and assorted other asswipes at their disposal. In contrast, this is a third rate, non peer-edited law review – with article submissions from academic piles of excrement.
The only thing graduating from a "T14" law school tells me is that that guy/gal was really good at taking the Law School Admissions test.ReplyDelete
Who cares? Does scoring a -0 in Logic Games really mean that you are going to be a successful Biglaw corporate attorney? F--- no, it doesn't.
If you graduate from a T14 school in the top half of your class, you'll likely get one of those Biglaw associate jobs, but then 2008 could happen… or the dude who graduated top of his class from some T2 school outperforms you as a professional…
0L's, it's all a gamble. If you must go to law school, mitigate the debt to the lowest possible number, or pick another career. Law school should be considered first and foremost in terms of a debt-reward risk calculus, period!
~$300,000 in student loans at repayment is not worth a ~50% of getting a job that pays ~$145,000 a year and might last ~3 years. The math here really isn't hard.
- AnonymousSeptember 19, 2014 at 12:11 AM
You are on the money. If you run the numbers, a blue collar municipal worker will out earn, in total compensation, even someone that manages to graduate from law school debt free, and then lands a big law job for only a few years.
For example, let's says you become a fireman in NYC. You join the department at 21 with no debt. For the first five years, let's say you earn a total of 300k. After the fifth year, you will make 90k working two full day shifts and then have the rest of the week off. That means you can work another job and bank an extra 20 to 40k or you can do some overtime and bump yourself up to 110k. This is bare minimum stuff. I know ambitious guys who run businesses on the side while doing these kinds of jobs (when you have a high guaranteed income with no debt, you have credit options other people do not).
So by 28, the fireman has netted 520k minimum, and he or she has no debt.
Let's assume you go to T14 AND you graduate debt free AND you land a big law job. I think we are talking far less than 1 percent of law grads. You still have earned no real income l from 18 yo 25. But fuck it, I will get even more unrealistic, I will say you even managed to earn 100 grand during this period. I wager there are less than 500 graduates a year that fit this profile.
You start working big law right out of school, and you make 480 grand by the time you are 28. This means that someone 1) with a T14 law degree, 2) no student debt, 3) 3 years of big law after law school, and 4) 100 grand of amassed income during college and law school will only out earn someone with a GED and two years of community college by 70k from the ages of 18 to 28, and the assumptions here are ridiculously unrealistic. I have assumed that the blue collar employee held no job until joining the job and does the bear minimum in terms of work. I have also assumed every possible thing goes right for the law grad ( like I said, less than 5 pp people probably fit this profile unless they were rich to begin with).
If you start factoring in pensions, guaranteed 8 week vacations, retirement at 45, real overtime pay, and SSDI comp after the job is done, then even the perfect law school outcome is going to have a hard time competing, forget about your average grad, even your average T14 grad.
Moreover, someone who can get into a T14, CAN WITH OUT A DOUBT, barring a serious physical defect, obtain a big city municipal job in the trades, police, sanitation, or firefighers. In fact, such a person has a strong chance of getting a job in the more lucrative counties in California and NY, where a cop or fireman can earn 250k a year (with a pension of that caliber to boot). Remember, we are not talking about fucking toiletiers here.
But that isn't prestigious or realistic. In fact, it's also risky. You see, it's more risky to spend 3 months studying for a test that cost 200 bucks to take, and if you fail, nothing happens, than it is to spend 3 years of your life and go 200k In debt for a less than 50 percent chance of getting a job that sucks in order to pay back the 200k debt. Lemming logic...

I live in upstate, NY and have not met one practicing lawyer from Cornell in my city. Most are from the cesspools Syracuse and Buffalo and yet Ithaca is not far from here. One might attempt to argue maybe all the Cornell Alumni are practicing in NYC and that is the focus of Cornell's job placement office. But if that is the case, they are competing against Columbia, NYU, and even Harvard grads wanting to make it big on Wall Street firms. So the fact is Cornell is just another trap school.ReplyDelete

That's exactly right. IBR / PAYE is nothing but controlled bankruptcy - with a Tax Bomb at the end when you are heading into retirement and well-past your peak earning years.Delete
This is a bargain / good idea how??
The above is 100% correct, so no need to rehash. Law as a career choice works for about 5% or less of the people who choose to enter it.
No, I'm not talking about the idiot Boomers or anyone outside of the last 3-5 years prior to the current insane tuition bubble, etc. I'm talking about that and today, going forward.
With recent and current numbers, the formula, simply, no longer works for all but maybe 5%.
Exactly right.
Law School Transparency lists the total debt at $297,190 – for students who incur the full cost of admission and living expenses! For such an amount, you could purchase a beautiful, large home in most parts of the country.ReplyDelete
For those who receive a 50% scholarship, the debt total would reach $188,454 – for three years of "legal education" at Cornell Univer$ity. Plus, you figure that relatively few students get such a generous offer from the pigs.
LST estimates total law student debt of $242,824 for those on a 25% scholarship. Hell, students on full scholarship would still incur $79,741 in loans – based on this source. Yet, the pigs last listed this debt average at $140,000 to US "News" & World Report.
By the way, even this commode is apparently feeling the effects of the overall plunge in law school applications. Look at the graph labeled "Entering Class Admissions Data." In Fall 2011, 204 matriculants comprised the first year class. For that cohort, the 25th percentile LSAT score was 166, with a median of 168, and a 75th percentile score of 169.
For the entering Fall 2013 class, there were fewer members, i.e. 193. The 25th percentile LSAT score was 165, whereas a result of 167 placed a first year student in the 50th percentile at Cornell. This latter figure also is listed as the 75th percentile score.
How many of these students will land article III clerkships, enter Biglaw practice for a few years – and then get unceremoniously dumped on their ass?!?! Remember, this area can be lucrative but it is extremely competitive. The pigs at the top of these firms expect and demand that junior associates start bringing in BIG cases and clients, on their own quickly.
Also, once a Biglaw attorney with a few years of experience is tossed out, he is not a real attractive option for other firms or government agencies. He will be seen as a loser who "didn't have what it takes" to succeed. Plus, it's not as though a transactional lawyer is going to suddenly become a feisty litigator, representing scum defendants or women seeking to punish their ex-husbands in ugly, drawn-out cases. Don't forget the effects of burnout, either.

These high school seniors were chosen DAR Good Citizens by their respective schools for 2014. They were honored by the Nanih Waiya Daughters of the American Revolution with a tea at the First United Methodist Church on March 27.

"Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life." – Deuteronomy 4:9
It was only a one-letter difference, but what a difference it made! A while back, my husband was working out of town and needed me to book some flights for him. The project was going to take a while, so we also planned for him to visit home at least once. Hurriedly I booked an airline flight on the Internet and went on with my busy day. Two weeks later, he flew home for a short visit. On the day he was to fly back to work, we awoke early and I dropped him off at the airport. I had just gotten home and crawled back into bed when the phone rang. I heard the words, "You'll never guess what you did!" I had booked him for a P.M. flight rather than an A.M. flight! He had scanned his confirmation letter as he approached the desk and lamented to the clerk that he just realized there was a problem. She realized his plight and advised him that the next flight was full but he could come back in a couple of hours and see if there might be a cancellation. I quickly went back to the airport to pick him up. When it came time to catch the next flight, we returned and then waited to find out if he could get on.
My haste and assumption caused a lot of unnecessary time and anxiety, not to mention the cost of the breakfast we bought to pass the time while waiting! We had both assumed he was all set to fly back in plenty of time to meet his appointments later that day. But that one-letter difference of a P.M. instead of an A.M. carried with it a delay of twelve hours!
How important it is in life to be aware of the details. They are even more important in our spiritual lives! Plans and actions based on spiritual assumptions can have far worse consequences than a delayed flight. If we make decisions and just assume we are in the Lord's will, we can expect confusion and frustration to follow. We need to be sure our plans fit with God's "schedule" by praying about decisions and seeking His will earnestly. Even choices that seem small can have a big effect on our lives, so we need to make sure every area is lined up with His will.
As for my husband's flight plight, he was able to get on the next plane. Needless to say, next time neither of us will leave anything to chance!

KANSAS CITY — Substantial gains forecast for domestic and global wheat production in 2008 will lead to sharply lower new crop prices, but price decreases for other grains and oilseeds will be less severe even with acreage shifts, analysts contacted by Food Business News said.
Record high prices for wheat and 33-year highs for soybeans in 2007 are expected to attract acres in 2008, mostly at the expense of corn, which achieved only 10-year highs this year. But myriad other factors, including export demand, alternative fuels, commodity fund buying, economic strength and especially weather will continue to play a large role in determining commodity prices.
Dan Basse, president of AgResource Consulting Group, Chicago, said he sees the period of record high commodity prices coming to an end, with prices moderating in a broad range, especially during and after the second quarter of 2008 as U.S. winter wheat and South American soybean crop prospects become better defined.
Paul Meyers, vice-president of commodity analysis for Connell Purchasing Services, Berkeley Heights, N.J., offered a similar scenario. Both analysts agreed the greatest potential price break was in wheat as the market shifts focus from old crop to new crop late in the first quarter of 2008, but both also had the caveat of "normal weather."
"New crop wheat fundamentals look 180 degrees different than old crop," Mr. Meyers said. He expects Kansas City and Chicago wheat prices to decline $email@example.com a bu in the next two to three months, and then drop below $6 in the second half of the year, when Minneapolis spring wheat prices will range from $firstname.lastname@example.com. Old crop futures prices currently range from about $9.70@11 a bu at the three exchanges, while new crop prices are mostly in the $email@example.com range.
Mr. Basse said he expects wheat prices will continue to ration U.S. wheat supply through February, when the focus will switch to new crop and "prices will accelerate down."
Record high wheat prices have encouraged increased wheat seedings in nearly every country with the possible exception of India, Mr. Basse said. He expects 2008-09 world production of 646 million tonnes, up from 602 million in 2007-08.
"The world market will be amply supplied with wheat," he said
Weather conditions currently appear more favorable than a year ago, said meteorologists Jon Davis, Mark Russo and Josh Darr of Chesapeake Energy Corp., Chicago, although some concern remains for southern portions of the U.S. winter wheat belt.
"The risk to the crop surrounds dry weather during the spring that would reduce yield potential especially in the southern sections of both belts — Plains hard red and Midwest/Delta soft red winter wheat," the Chesapeake weather team said. Weather conditions during the spring of 2008 partially will be driven by the La Nina event in the Pacific Ocean, which will cause a bias of dry weather across much of the southern U.S. while the northern U.S. will tend to have a wet bias, the meteorologists said.
Concerns about dryness in the hard red winter areas of eastern Colorado, western Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas most of the fall were reduced by recent ice and snow.
Domestic wheat plantings are expected to increase as much as 10% from 2007, indicated in part by the projected use of wheat for seed in 2007-08 at 88 million bus, up about 9% from 2006, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in its December supply/demand report. In that report the U.S.D.A. projected U.S. wheat carryover on June 1, 2008, at 280 million bus, the lowest in 60 years.
Mr. Basse forecast winter wheat planted for harvest in 2008 up 4.7 million acres, or 10%, from 45 million in 2007. Mr. Meyers was more conservative, forecasting a 3 million acre increase, or 7%, for 2008. Informa Economics, a Memphis, Tenn., analytical firm, forecast winter wheat planted area at 48.7 million acres, up 8% from 2007, according to trade sources who get the company's data.
Although U.S. winter wheat already is planted, official estimates from the U.S.D.A. won't be available until Jan. 11, 2008. That date will be key, Mr. Meyers said, because the U.S.D.A. also will release revised 2007 crop production data as well as update domestic and global supply/demand projections.
Durum to claim much more area
Although spring wheat prices traded at the Minneapolis Grain Exchange remain the highest of the three classes of wheat, the analysts expect spring wheat area will face tougher competition with corn and soybeans as well as from durum.
Spring wheat area, other than durum, was forecast by Informa at 13 million acres, down 2% from 13.3 million in 2007. Mr. Basse also expects a modest decrease in spring wheat plantings due to competition from other crops. But Mr. Meyers said he expects a 2% to 3% increase in spring wheat plantings based on strong prices, as the crop takes acreage from minor oilseeds such as canola.
Durum prices remain within 25c of its all-time record high of $20 a bu, basis Minneapolis, set in October, which was more than three times the year-ago price of $6.30. As a result, spring durum plantings in Canada and the U.S. northern Plains are expected to "explode," Mr. Basse said. He forecast plantings for the two countries' major durum area up 16% to 19% from 2007. Informa forecast even larger durum plantings in 2008 at 2.7 million acres, up 29% from 2.1 million in 2007. And Mr. Meyers saw still stronger durum plantings, up 700,000 to 800,000 acres, or 32% to 37% from a year earlier.
Increased durum production will pull cash durum prices sharply lower, down to the $6@7 a bu range for new crop, Mr. Basse predicted. But stocks are tight and new crop is "a long ways away," he cautioned. The tight stocks situation for all types of wheat will provide for a difficult transition from old crop to new crop, Mr. Meyers agreed.
Soybean area up, prices ease
Although not record high, soaring soybean prices also are expected to attract increased plantings in 2008, but possibly not enough to push prices down significantly from the current levels near $12 a bu range, Mr. Meyers said.
Soybean plantings are forecast to partially rebound in 2008 after plunging 16% in 2007 from a year earlier. Informa forecast soybean area at 70 million acres, up 10% from 63.7 million in 2007 but still below the 75.5 million acres in 2006.
The keys to 2008 soybean prices will be South American weather, the strong pace of exports and prices of competitive crops, Mr. Meyers said. An increase of 9 million to 10 million acres is needed to rebuild carryover, he said, but he expects only about a 6 million acre increase from 2007. The U.S.D.A. forecast soybean carryover on Sept. 1, 2008, at 185 million bus, down 68% from a year earlier.
Still, helping to moderate soybean prices will be a stronger U.S. dollar and slower economic growth globally, both of which will tend to reduce export demand, and lower crude oil prices, which will reduce demand for soybean oil used to make biodiesel, Mr. Meyers said.
Soybean prices should average "$10.75 to $11.25 a bu for most of next year" assuming average weather, Mr. Meyers said. With a big South American crop and increased U.S. plantings, "we're not going to run out of soybeans," he added.
"Soil moisture reserves have improved in recent weeks across the vast majority of South American soybean acreage," the Chesapeake weather team said. "As we head into mid-summer, crop prospects are very favorable. However, close monitoring of South America is warranted during the late January through March period when soybeans will be going through their yield-sensitive crop development stage as the current moderate/strong La Nina increases the risk of heat/dryness during this time frame."
Corn plantings expected to drop
After surging 20% from a year earlier in 2007, to the highest level since 1933, corn planted area is expected to decline in 2008, although not to "pre-ethanol era" levels that were closer to 80 million acres.
Corn planted area for 2008 was forecast at 87.4 million acres, down 7% from 93.6 million in 2007, by Informa. Mr. Meyers also sees about a 6 million acre drop in corn plantings in 2008. Mr. Basse forecast a 5.6 million acre decline. As with soybeans, the first official indication of corn area will be released in late March.
"Corn carryover is more than adequate," Mr. Meyers said. He also said the U.S.D.A. projected use of corn to make ethanol, at 3,200 million bus, still was 100 million to 200 million bus too high. Negative margins and a slowdown in the expansion of production capacity has taken some of the bloom off the ethanol market.
The analysts expect only minor changes to corn prices in coming months. Mr. Meyers forecast corn to range from $email@example.com a bu in the first half of 2008. Mr. Basse put the range at $email@example.com. Current corn futures prices have been in the $firstname.lastname@example.com range for 2008 contracts.
"The keys to commodity prices in 2008 are the Chinese economy and weather," Mr. Basse said. Strong economic growth in China has spurred demand for many commodities, especially soybeans and soybean products.
Mr. Meyers stressed the importance of weather.
"Any kind of weather issue could add 20% to 25% to price forecasts," he said. Continued investment in commodities by large commodity funds also will tend to support prices, he added.

State Controller John Chiang On California Cash Concerns
CC: Did this latest budget solve the long-term gap between spending obligations and revenue?
JC: No. My principle concern is what takes place next year. We still have significant cash issues. In fact, the cash issues appear to be greater next year than the ones we just experienced.
CC: When you say cash issues that means what?
JC: At one point, we would have been in the red in excess of $5 billion as early as April. This budget and its cash solutions reduce that $5 billion cash deficit in April to $636 million. We're working with (State Treasurer Bill) Lockyer and the governor to secure a RAN (Revenue Anticipation Note) of $1.5 billion to cover that gap and continue to make essential payments. A major credit union has said it will cover at least one third of that so we'll get at least some of what we need for sure.
CC: Why is it so bad so soon?
JC: In different times, a sound budget will produce cash so that you can move without great difficulty. Unfortunately, since we had the budget that didn't work at the beginning of the year, the one that was 85 days late. The Legislature and governor waited so long to address our fiscal issues that our solutions became narrower. We didn't have time to put in the income tax solution, the sales tax solution or spending cuts for this entire fiscal year. The first tax to go into effect is the sales tax on April 1. And you can't start the income tax until the next tax year.
Sitting on the Board of Equalization you always try to start a sales tax at the beginning of a quarter so you don't make it more complicated for the 1 million people who have permits with the board. Without the taxes, it would have to be all spending cuts in order to reduce obligations to have more cash available. That's why they should have got the first budget right. We lost all that time from September and February. And there weren't enough spending cuts taking place where we could resume paying the state's obligations during the month of February.
CC: How many obligations in February?
JC: $2.8 billion.
CC: Of that, tax refunds are?
JC: $2 billion. Actually, we're starting to process tax refunds today. (March 6, 2009) We got some revenue numbers from the governor on Tuesday. My staff has been doing stress testing and cash projections and feel pretty comfortable so we're moving on it today.
CC: Is February a big month for obligations?
JC: No. April is the real difficult month. If we don't get that RAN, we're $636 million in the red. But then the bigger issue is July. When we walk into the next fiscal year we will need a massive cash infusion.
CC: How come?
JC: We always borrow at the beginning of the year, 25 out of the last 26 anyway and then in April we make up the difference. But this year we walk in with weakness into the next fiscal year. There are less tools in the tool kit. We'll need a massive RAN or RAW (Revenue Anticipation Warrant).
Remember these last budgets borrow $16.5 billion from (state) special funds to backfill the general fund. So if we have any emergency in the state requiring aid from one of those special fund departments, the state is in trouble. Over 1,100 special funds in the state and we borrowed from over 650 of them. Part of this last budget solution gives us the ability to borrow another $2 billion more. The governor's budget has us borrowing $11 billion from special funds over the next 18 months.
So we're going to have to do some outside borrowing for the next fiscal year. Period.
CC: OK, so the most recent budget is better than the one from September.
JC: Far better.
CC: But it doesn't solve the fundamental problems.
JC: Not even close. This budget doesn't anticipate if we have further deterioration in the state revenue situation. They're going to probably find themselves out of balance because the economy is getting a lot worse.
The current numbers are based on November and December. Look at more recent numbers. Within the last few weeks, the national Gross Domestic Product was revised from its original minus 3.8 down to minus 6.2. Unemployment was a little over 8 percent last November. Now it's at 10.1 percent. They ought to have solutions in place already for next year's budget to anticipate a weakening economy.
We had bad numbers for the month of February — $900 million less than expected. The disbursements came in light. It could have been a lot worse. But it's still a $900 million net loss to the state budget.
CC: February is a big collection month?
JC: No. But just to be that short is pretty dramatic.
CC: Is this new flexible furlough better than the fixed Friday one?
JC: It's better for the administration of state agencies, yes. It gives agency heads the ability to better consider workload issues.
CC: There's a press release on your website about the state's very sizable tab to cover future costs of health care for retired workers. How should the state address that?
JC: The governor and Legislature should act. They should start to pre-fund. Instead of go on a pay-as-you-go system, take advantage of investment markets to drop overall costs to the taxpayers of California. And they ought to be working on how you devise a health care system that drops costs, looking at experience-based medicine, new metrics, so costs get driven down. Health care costs are the fastest growing component of the national GDP. If they grow too fast it will put us in a position where we trail globally in our ability to compete economically.
One of the main recommendations of the governor's commission on post employment costs was pre-funding. That hasn't been done. The report you're talking about shows a marginal increase in health care costs over 30 years over the first report. Something like $48.2 billion versus $47.8 billion. But the reason its marginal is more because of action taken by CalPERS to drop the health care trend rate. It will continue to go up if you don't take action to address it. We need to look at the underlying costs and other items that drive up health care costs.
CC: Are there any cities, counties, locals that pre-fund?
JC: There are a few cities and counties. It's going to be a challenge over the next few years for a lot of these jurisdictions to either pre-fund or pay-as-you-go. All asset classes were in the red last year. Nationally, whether it was a public pension plan or a foundation or a private university, people took losses in excess of 20 percent.
CC: Our money guy likes to call it "harvesting" losses. Supposedly that sounds better.
JC: Ours says we can take your gains and losses and subtract from the losses. I say I'd rather pay taxes on my gains, thanks.
CC: How do we get out of this mess?
JC: Everybody in the state has to focus on basic economic costs: health care, pensions, educational investment, infrastructure. The three inputs that really drive an economy are education, infrastructure and financial structure. All of those are struggling here in California. It's not like coming out of any bad recession because this isn't a normal business recession; it's a financial crisis. So we need to find positive inputs to move us forward.

Mr. Chiang,
I am impressed by yo9ur tough stance on completing the state budget and the truth be known we could use a Guber such as you and someone with your comprehension and knowledge to help bring some organization and fiscal sanity back to this state.
Good job sir and I hope you are in favor of term limits and a part time status for our non performing legislature and a decertifying of this government union.

Getting into the swing of things when you're back from vacation is always difficult. Mexico already seems far away but tis the season & whatnot so there are plenty of sparkly goings on to keep be busy. Maybe I won't even notice it's not 80 degrees & sunny in San Francisco? Doubtful but I'll survive. Well before heading on my little vaca I met up with my fabulous friend and fellow blogger Jennifer from Just Add Glam for a fun girls night. Make sure to check her out when you have a chance! We had dinner at Beretta then went out for some cocktails. While I didn't get to take any pictures that night (the whole getting dark at 3pm BS I loved the look and I wanted to share so voila!
Going out in the Mission neighborhood of San Francisco I wanted to dress up for girls night but with a more arty feel. Overall the area has a hipster and relaxed vibe so while I abstained from glitter a cool statement necklace was just fine. This particular one I bought on the streets of NYC when I wore it for the first time in this post here.
I've had this skirt in my closet a while and have been jonesing to wear it. It's made of such cool material and while sexy it has a sporty feel that's trendy now. Considering our evening plans pairing it with anything too girly or frilly wouldn't have felt right. That's why I went with this top since it has a sweatshirt feel to it. I'm actually loving this rusty color as of late and find myself gravitating towards it whenever it can be found. What's your favorite separate or color lately?
Now onto these fabulous booties! I've been in search or some black suede booties and found these a while back. Due to the stupidness of my feet shoe shopping is always an adventure so I was thrilled when these fit! I love the suede and leather printed detailing giving them more interest. They are wonderfully comfortable and the platform isn't too high. I've been wearing them so much I may need another pair before the end of the season!
Adding some favorite jewelry pieces along with this great clutch & jacket finished off my look for the night. While I wore this for a girls night I'd also wear it over the Holiday season. The colors are unexpected and will break up the sea of red, green, black and shiny hehe. What do you think of this? Would you wear it out with a friend or on a date? I'm sure these particular pieces will be making the rounds over the coming months but whether they'll be together or separate remains to be seen.

Andrade positioned to end drought, Woods struggles
By Daisuke Wakabayashi
NORTON, Massachusetts (Reuters) - Local hero Billy Andrade
played another round of bogey-free golf for a share of the lead
in a group of five at 10-under-par after third-round play at
the $5.5 million Deutsche Bank Championship Sunday.
opening with a 65, continued to struggle, following his
second-round 73 with a 72 to finish at three-under 210, seven
shots off the pace.
Andrade, who has not won since the Invensys Classic at Las
Vegas in 2000, started and finished with a birdie for a
two-under 69 and a 54-hole total of 203. He has not made a
single bogey in the tournament.
"I hit a lot of really good putts. I think I putted as good
as I've ever putted," said Andrade, who hails from nearby
Bristol, Rhode Island.
"I am not going to back down. I'm going to go for it
tomorrow and I'm going to play exactly the same way I played
today and the first two days."
Joining Andrade at the top of the crowded leader board were
John Rollins (63), Swede Carl Pettersson (68), second-round
co-leader Olin Browne (70) and Jason Bohn (67).
Rollins, a lowly 90th in the PGA Tour money list, reeled
off nine birdies, three bogeys and an eagle three.
"I played great on the back (nine), hit the ball great,
