MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (February 15, 2012) – Despite four players scoring in double-figures, No. 21/18 Rutgers (17-8, 6-6 BIG EAST) women's basketball saw its halftime lead slip away as West Virginia (19-6, 9-3 BIG EAST) rallied in the second half for a 60-50 win on Wednesday night at the WVU Coliseum.
Junior center Monique Oliver (Las Vegas, Nev.) scored 14 points to lead Rutgers against the Mountaineers. Senior guard Khadijah Rushdan (Wilmington, Del.) chipped 13 points and nine rebounds, while junior guard Erica Wheeler (Miami, Fla.) and senior guard April Sykes (Starkville, Miss.) added 11 and 10 points, respectively.
The Scarlet Knights led by as much as 11 points with 10:40 to play in the first half, eventually closing out the period with a seven-point advantage at halftime (31-24). Oliver scored all 14 of her points in the first half, including 12 of 17 for RU points during an 11-minute span.
The second half was a seesaw battle featuring four ties and seven lead changes. Foul trouble for the Scarlet Knights provided a big momentum shift in the half as both Oliver and freshman center Christa Evans (Jackson, N.J.) fouled out with five minutes left to play. The pair was neutralized much of the second half, going in and out of the game with fouls. Without its two post players, the Mountaineers were able to take advantage of the size inside, outscoring the Scarlet Knights in the paint 16-4 in the half.
Rutgers continued to make a push as Sykes connected on a pair of three pointers, twice swinging the lead back into the Scarlet Knights' favor but her shot with 4:41 to play would give RU its final lead of the game at 48-47. The Mountaineers responded with a 13-2 run to close out the contest, going 9-for-10 from the free throw line.
Rutgers will wrap up its two-game road trip at Villanova on Saturday, Feb. 18, at 12 p.m.

Nickelodeon is turning President's Day into Fredsident's Day with the premiere of their new series, Fred: The Show.
The 11-minute episodes star Lucas Cruikshank as Fred Figglehorn, a 6-year-old character that 18-year-old Cruikshank first made popular on his YouTube channel. On Monday's premiere two-parter, Fred's neighbors confront him after seeing him destroy their property. In the first part, Fred tries to declare his innocence and in the second, he discovers his nemesis Kevin (Jake Weary) is responsible.
Nickelodeon has ordered two projects starring YouTube star Lucas Cruikshank, the network announced today.
Fred: The Show is an 11-minute live-action series based off of Cruikshank's 6-year-old character Fred Figgglehorn. Cruikshank, 18, previously starred in the network's original movies Fred: The Movie and Fred: Night of the Living Fred. The show was given a 21-episode order and is set to premiere in early 2012.
Lucas Cruikshank says there's a lot more to his alter ego Fred Figglehorn than screaming temper tantrums.
"Well... if you can get past the voice," Cruikshank says. For the unfamiliar, Fred is a tyrannical 6-year-old video blogger with the voice of Alvin the Chipmunk and the body of a teen. He's also one of YouTube's biggest stars.

Talmud for Boys, Challah-Making for Girls—Gender Rules in Orthodox Day Schools
Gender-typing is at work as early as daycare. A new book examines how this inequity plays out and undermines religious classrooms.
In the past several decades, it has become increasingly common to find religious women who are doctors, professors, scientists, and rabbis. Yet while they've gained acceptance as professionals in their community, their children often get very different messages in Jewish day schools about acceptable and unacceptable gender roles. There, rigorous training in Jewish thought, or math and science, for that matter, may be offered to boys only, while girls may find that more attention is paid to the length of their sleeves, and skirts, than to their questions about Rashi.
Differential treatment of boys and girls is not unique to Jewish day schools. But for those invested in giving their kids a religious education, it should be cause for great concern. So argues Elana Sztokman in Educating in the Divine Image: Gender Issues in Orthodox Jewish Day Schools, co-written with Chaya Rosenfeld Gorsetman and the recent winner of a National Jewish Book Council Award. Sztokman speaks with Vox Tablet host Sara Ivry about how schools can squash girls' spiritual desires, what Jewish modesty rules erroneously teach kids about sexual desire (men have it; girls don't), and why changes in the Orthodox world offer hope for gender parity.
For a full transcript of Vox Tablet's interview with Elana Sztokman, click here.
Reading David Foster Wallace Led Me Back to Studying the Talmud
The late author's work was Talmudic in nature. That's why his books made me miss the Jewish texts I'd left behind.

The Start0 Reviews
i was bored so here you go.
But it can also be the greatest time of your life. You get random moments when you forget about the math home work due and the fact that nearly all the boys in the foot ball team want to beat you up, and something happens that triggers the chemicals in your brain to make you smile. I don't know something like that. Don't ask me about science; I suck at science. I suck at a lot of things.
My random burst of happiness, today, was a piece of paper. An invite, to be exact. An invite to a party on the upcoming weekend. A party I could most definitely go to as my parents were planning on going out of town to visits relatives that day, and wouldn't know about the party.
And okay, fine. I didn't exactly get the invite handed to me on a silver platter; I found it on the bathroom floor. It was slightly damn from the strange liquid seeping out from under a stall, but it was legible.
It was the first invite I've ever gotten in my life, picked up off of the boys dirty bathroom floor or not, and it felt wonderful.
I made my way to maths, head high, smiling. People were looking at me weird. They were whispering things like; "The emo kids smiling." "Maybe he cut his wrists again in the bathroom. I saw him go in there." "Check! Lift up his sleeve."
I just winked at them, and they scurried.
Maths is shit, just to let you know. As is science and English and French. I suck at that all. Maths the most though. I can't do shit, and I have no friends in that class to copy off.
Correction, I have no friends in any class.
I guess I never have. I'm sort of an outcast. When I was a kid I would sit in the playground by myself and watch the other kids. They would call me weird, a loner, a loser.
The mocking carried on through high school too, but the insults changed. I was called emo, suicidal, ugly, fat, a waste of space.
You can't let these bring you down though. You have to stay strong. If you seem like you're slipping then the bullies have won. You have to stay above them, ignore them, and laugh in their face. That works.
I rest my head on my maths book. Right now I just want to wallow in my happiness of getting a party invite without any more 'emo' comments.
"Frank." Someone's talking to me. Maybe I should lift my head up off of this table and see who it is. It's probably just some girl wanting to mock me for never having a girl friend or some other guy mocking me for the same thing. "If you are sleeping, Iero, I will rip your tiny cock off." I look up now. It's my math teacher. Yep, pretty much the same as the kids here. Mr. Bass hates me. He hates my guts. He probably hates my family too. Hell, he probably hates a stranger that's as much as made eye contact with me.
"Yes, sir?" I ask, trying to put on my best I'm-going-to-pretend-to-love-you-in-class-then-laugh-at-you-after voice.
He glares at me. More kids laugh. One of them says another comment about slitting wrists and Mr. Bass cracks a smile. I want to hurl a brick at his face. There's no bricks around here. I could use my text book instead. It's pretty heavy.
I lift the text book up in my left hand, judging the weight.
"And what do you expect to do with that?" Mr. Bass asks me. I'd kind of forgotten he was still mad at me.
"Throw it at your face." I mutter. He hears it. He blinks, trying to find a way to respond to that.
"You... you what?" He takes a step closer. Everyone else is looking at me. I scan the class room, trying to figure out which one of the girls are gonna spread this new piece of juicy gossip the fastest.
There's a girl sitting in the corner. She has blonde hair, sweeping past her shoulders. She's got her eyes down, twiddling her fingers around her hair and not paying any attention. She looks up, sees me looking and goes bright red. I look away, wondering why she was red. Maybe she was about to start laughing at the sight of me. I shouldn't get innocent kids in trouble because of my face. It's not their fault I'm so damn ugly.
I start giggling to myself, because you know, I'm all mad and that. This infuriates my demonic math teacher further. He's practically standing on top of my desk now, screaming about disrespect and how lazy I am and such.
Then he stops. He takes a breath, ignoring the snickers of the other students and walks over to his desk. I return to testing the weight of my book. It could possible knock him out, I mean if I hit him from a close enough distance. At least hurt him enough to shock him so I can run out –
"Take this to the headmaster's office." Mr. Bass is standing in front of me again. He's calm now, and holding out a folded piece of paper. "And don't come back." I look at him, trying to see if he's joking or not. I get to… leave math class… early? It hasn't even been 20 minutes. Is this a joke?
"OUT, NOW, IERO." It's not a joke.
I pack up my stuff, sadly dropping my text book into my bag, thinking about the time when I'll actually hit him with it. I take the note from him, and head towards the exit, a small smile forming. I'm out of here. I actually get to miss maths, I'm free!
The door is closes behind me, and as soon as it clicks shut, I hear something. I hear my maths teacher laughing, actually laughing as he sees me leave.
I walk slowly away from the class room. As I am about the walk down the stairs, I turn back and shout "F YOU MR. BASS. F YOU AND YOUR OVER SIZED NOSE"

If you plan on traveling this weekend while Tropical Storm Karen is churning towards the Gulf Coast, AAA spokesman Don Redman says, don't.
"This is going to be a heavy rain maker with severe winds or heavy gusts of wind. That's going to make driving very hazardous and if that's really not crucial or critical for you to travel we recommend just stay off the road ways, stay in place - batten down and let the storm blow through." Redman says to expect the roadways to be "choked" with traffic. "So you may want to consider alternate routes to get to your destination."
If you are traveling or forced to evacuate in any of the impacted areas, Redman offers this advice, "We certainly recommend right now making sure your gas tank is topped off and you're ready to leave based on what your officials warn you or advise you to do."Gas gouging shouldn't be an issue according to Redman. He says the average statewide is $3.14. However, expect a bump in prices at the pump one Karen moves out . "There may be a slight bump but certainly not expecting any dramatic prices until after the storm passes over."
and if you suspect a gas station is gouging prices during this state of emergency - Redman says you can report that to the attorney general's office.
If you or your relatives plan on traveling this weekend while Tropical Storm Karen moves closer, here are some helpful sites that you can use if you're traveling by train or plane. You can also track flight numbers by using the airline websites as well.

By Laura MacInnis and Jonathan Lynn
GENEVA/NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Top officials from the United States, European Union and Brazil on Friday awaited a pivotal World Trade Organization ruling on subsidies to Airbus <EAD.PA> that stands to impact the global aircraft sector.
The confidential WTO verdict is due to be issued to U.S. and European diplomats in Geneva around 10 a.m. EDT, and will soon thereafter be reviewed by government and industry leaders in Brussels, Washington and around the world.
Ministers meeting in India to advance negotiations on a new global free trade pact, the Doha round, will be presented with a report which may run to 1,000 pages or more.
"It is important to the European Union, it is important to the U.S. We will wait and see what happens with the ruling," said EU Trade Commissioner Catherine Ashton.
The three-member WTO dispute settlement panel is expected to agree with complainant Washington that the billions of euros of "launch aid" Airbus received to build the A380 and other top-selling planes was anti-competitive and broke trade laws.
Such a finding could limit Airbus' options to finance new airliners, such as the wide-body A350 due in the next decade, and also affect how industry rivals in Brazil, Canada, China, Russia and Japan fuel their expansion.
"Of course we will be very interested because it may affect the way others operate," said Brazilian Foreign Minister Celso Amorim, who flew to New Delhi on an Embraer <EMBR3.SA> jet. Embraer and its Canadian rival Bombardier <BBDb.TO E> were also embroiled in years of WTO litigation over aircraft subsidies.
The Airbus case, and a counter-claim by Brussels about support to Boeing <BA.N>, whose findings are expected in six months, represent the biggest and most commercially significant dispute in WTO history.

Financial Liberalization Index for Nepal
AbstractA financial liberalization index (FLI) for Nepal is constructed in order to show the degree or the level of financial liberalization at a particular time. FLI is calculated on the basis of principal components method following Demetriades and Luintel (1997), Bandiera, Caprio et al. (2000), Laeven (2003), and Laurenceson and Chai (2003). The index comprises eight policy components, viz, (1) interest rate deregulation (IRD), (2) removal of entry barriers (REB), (3) reduction in reserve requirement (RRR), (4) easing in credit control (ECC), (5) implementation of prudential rules (IPR), (6) stock market reform (SMR), (7) privatization of state-owned banks (PSB), and (8) external account liberalization (EAL). As some of these policy measures have been implemented in phases, the index is designed to take into account their partial and gradual implementation too.

A lot of Lions fans were giddy when the team was able to select Nick Fairley with the 13th overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft as many felt the Lions were getting a top ten talent despite sitting three picks outside that range. While that may be the case eventually, the initial Madden ratings leaves Fairley outside the top ten among rookies.
Who did the Madden team rate as the top ten rookies in the game? Here they are in reverse order:
10. Robert Quinn – DE – STL – 78 OVR
9. Julio Jones – WR, ATL – 78 OVR
8. Mark Ingram – RB – NO – 79 OVR
7. Mike Pouncey – OL – MIA – 79 OVR
6. Von Miller – OLB – DEN – 79 OVR
5. J.J. Watt – DE – HOU – 80 OVR
4. A.J. Green – WR – CIN – 80 OVR
3. Prince Amukamara – CB – NYG – 81 OVR
2. Marcell Dareus – DE – BUF – 82 OVR
1. Patrick Peterson – CB – ARZ – 82 OVR
You'll notice a lot of names that a lot of Lions fans coveted ahead of the draft. I can't say I have much of a gripe against anyone in the top ten but I was surprised to see Prince Amukamara as high as he is considering the mixed opinions on his game and his draft day fall compared to where many predicted he would be selected.
While I'm on the topic of Madden 12, did you see the post from earlier today about your opportunity to get the game for $15 off the MSRP with free shipping? Check it out.

American Idol's Randy Jackson on "The Shock of My Life"
Written on July 24, 2012 at 10:20 am , by Karla Walsh
After speaking with Randy Jackson yesterday, we couldn't say that we were too surprised to hear a big American Idol announcement this morning. As the only returning judge on the panel (Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler stepped down after the last season), Jackson was tight-lipped about the show. Today we learned that Jackson himself was instrumental in helping Mariah Carey sign on as a judge for the 12th season. Here's what he had to say about it on Twitter this morning:
One of the greatest artists in the world is back with that heat. Get it! @MariahCarey #TRIUMPHANT
— Randy Jackson (@YO_RANDYJACKSON) July 23, 2012
Since the show casting was, and is, still in negotiation (who will fill Tyler's seat?), Jackson wanted to talk to us about another topic close to his heart: diabetes. Nine years ago, the music producer was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and it's dramatically changed the way he lives. "When I was first diagnosed, I viewed it as a curse. But it forced me to take control of my health," he says. Read on for details about Jackson's journey in his own words.
- I thought I had a cold or the flu. I wasn't feeling well and was perspiring all the time. We gave it the weekend to see if it would go away, but it didn't. So my doctor ran a few tests and came back to tell me that I had type 2 diabetes. My Dad had it, but I thought this was a disease that happened to someone else—not me.
- My doctor told me that, as a diabetic, I was two to four times more likely to develop heart disease and stroke. That was a shock, plus, I really had to learn what blood sugar was. I had no idea what it meant when they told me that my blood sugar was at almost 500! [Editor's note: A healthy blood glucose level is below 100, and anything over 125 signals diabetes.]

Hot Topic Tuesday: Paula Deen Has Diabetes…Now What?
Written on January 17, 2012 at 10:38 am , by Karla Walsh
Food Network chef Paula Deen sat down with Al Roker on the Today Show this morning to quiet the "does she or doesn't she" chatter related to her diabetes status. After an April 2010 tabloid story, rumors have circulated that the Southern cook, famous for her use of ample amounts of butter and Krispy Kreme donuts as hamburger buns, was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. (There are many potential causes for type 2, but eating processed meats, like bacon, and watching more than two hours of TV per day may increase your risk.)
Today, Deen took to the airwaves to address the rumors—and confirm that three years ago she was, in fact, diagnosed with type 2. "I'm here today to let the world know that this is not a death sentence," she told Roker.
Deen decided to keep mum until now, she explained, because she didn't have a full explanation of her action plan moving forward and needed time to come to terms with the diagnosis. But after consulting with her doctor and Dr. Mehmet Oz, she launched "Diabetes in a New Light" to support others with type 2, in conjunction with pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk. Personally, Deen has also given up sweet tea and started walking on a treadmill, according to USA Today, but will not plan to drastically alter the types of dishes she shares on her show. ("I have always eaten in moderation," she explained. "It's for entertainment.") However, her son Bobby recently launched Not My Mama's Meals on Cooking Channel, during which he tries to lighten up Paula's recipes and cut the calories and fat without cutting taste.

Now tell us: Do you think that Deen should change the types of recipes she shares on her show Paula's Best Dishes to reflect her new health focus? Or is it the responsibility of the viewer to realize that these meals are "treats?"

PLAYERS: Chris Neil, Chris Kelly, Claude Julien, Patrick Wiercioch
TEAMS: Ottawa Senators, Boston Bruins
TEAMS: Ottawa Senators, Boston Bruins
As far as dirty hits go, the jury is out on this one. But let's examine the evidence, and note that the on-ice judges did not give Ottawa's Chris Neil any penalty minutes after he collided with Chris Kelly. Neil smashed Kelly with a knee-on-knee hit in Monday night's Bruins-Senators matchup, sending Kelly out of the game. Coach Claude Julien did not give an update on Kelly's injury status but did say he would travel with the B's to Pittsburgh for Tuesday night's game. What made Neil's hit especially suspicious was that Neil had taken a pounding already earlier in the game. Adam McQuaid checked him hard into the boards midway through the first period, a play that led to Ottawa's Patrick Wiercioch picking a fight with McQuaid. Neil looked pretty shook up after the hit, yet he recovered enough to return to the ice for the second period, when he clipped Kelly less than a minute in. While knee-to-knee hits can be hard to judge, motive-wise, this one looks pretty ugly for Kelly's leg. Che...

Contrary to the title, Neglected Poems is an excellent collection of poems from one of the most respected Urdu poets of the country.
Summary Of The Book
Neglected Poems deals with a wide variety of topics from relationships to cities and bring out the deeper meaning of life. The poems are philosophical in nature, encouraging readers to look deeper within themselves and to also look out and realise their relationships, both human and the ones with their environment. Neglected Poems has been translated into English by Pavan Kumar.
Neglected Poems showcases a collection of 60 poems. Big cities like Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai have been showcased in a unique light in these poems. Some poems are of a deeply personal nature like the one on Gulzar's daughter Meghna. Poems on nature can also be found with a couple of them focussing on the rain. The everyday nature of the topics makes the poems immensely relatable to any and all readers. The poems showcase arresting imagery, adding to their allure. Human relationships are another aspect which Gulzar is intensely familiar with and often evokes in his works. Nature is another important theme that recurs in his work.
Neglected Poems offers both the original poems and their translated versions. The left side contains the Devanagari script with the translations on the right.
About The authors

It will not be appropriate for me to comment on Gulzar Saab's poetry that is saluted by the world. I can only say that I enjoyed the poems as Gulzar Saab's thought process and articulation is great in this book as well.
Gulzar is a versatile poet, we know that.Many of poems in this book are joking.Writer share a lot of his things. Pavan K. Varma, who translated the book, is very good choosing words.....
Another Masterpiece by the Eternal Legend! I am too small a person to write a review for Mr. Sampooran Singh Kalra. Any of his work will qualify for great work in every sense.
I am only privileged to read his lines while alive!
Readers of Gulzar are already awared of this fact that these books not like novels that you once read and it is done, these books should be kept with you for much longer time so that you can read it any time in future and trust me it gives you a different perspective of meaning and expands your horizon.
Wish you a happy reading.Wishes to Flipkart for their consummate

- "Like" if you think the President should get off his phone and return the salute properly!
- That is very disrespectful to our military, wonder what he would think if they were to talk on their cell phones while he was coming of the plane. He is so full of himself and rude. he's not worth a vote at all.
Even though the photo has only caught attention in October 2012, it was apparently taken on January 29, 2010 in Baltimore. No doubt the election season has fueled the photo's proliferation.
Here is the photo being circulated:
Here is the same photo from a much wider angle:
The other side of the political aisle can take solace that GOP President George Bush was also criticized for saluting marines on several occasions while carrying his dog Barney, as seen below. Of course Obama critics will claim that there is a difference between the distraction of a cell phone and carrying an object under one's arm. That's an argument we'll let the partisans fight out.
Ronald Reagan began the modern trend of the Presidential salute, often while exiting Air Force One or Marine One (the presidential helicopter). There have been many commentaries over the years critiquing each president's salute. Below is an interesting argument that the President should never give a military salute unless he is in uniform. It is also pointed out that President, and former General, Dwight D. Eisenhower never saluted after his military retirement.
Does This Photo Show the Obamas Doing a Left-Handed Flag Salute?

A Fairbanks woman has been jailed on multiple charges including possession of heroin and prostitution.
According to Troopers, 26-year-old Sarah Enox was taken into custody early yesterday morning after what they call a joint operation focusing on commercial sexual exploitation and sex trafficking.
During the operation conducted by the Statewide Drug Enforcement Unit, Special Crimes Investigation Unit, and the Fairbanks Drug Unit, Enox was found to be engaging in sexual acts for financial gain.
According to court documents, Enox was soliciting men for the sexual acts on undercover Craigslist and backpage.com ads.
During the time of the arrest Troopers say they found heroin and diazepam in her possession.
Enox was taken to Fairbanks Correctional Center where she was held on a no bail status.

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say
a man has been found dead from a gunshot wound inside a South Florida home
owned by singer Olivia Newton-John and her husband.
Jupiter police Sgt. Scott Pascarella
said Monday that the unidentified victim wasn't a resident or relative of the
residents. He said the victim had permission to be at the home but hadn't been
staying there.
Initial media reports listed the
death as a suicide, but Pascarella said the case is classified as a death
investigation. He didn't say whether foul play was involved.
The Palm Beach Post reports construction was being done on the home.
No other details were released.
Calls to the singer's agent and manager weren't immediately returned.
The singer's hits include
"You're The One That I Want," a duet with John Travolta from the 1978
movie "Grease.

My friend Cafe Melisa, who is also CafeMom's awesome Pregnancy Buzz blogger, asked Baby-Mamas-To-Be what names they were considering. I can relate to mommy_bink who said, "I have thought of names since I have been dating my husband. It's fun for me!" I had a list of potential baby names for years ...
And when I actually got married and pregnant, my husband and I spent a lot of time searching for names and figuring out what we wanted to name our baby. Fast-forward to 18 months later. My "precious little pumpkin girl" gets called so many things I'm worried she'll never know what her name is. We call her bugaboo, bug, mama's good girl, sweetie, little sweetie, honey, squeaky, speedy, cutie ... you get the idea, pretty much anything but the name we agonized over. What do you call your precious little person?
my sons name is caleb but we call him mr. man! just kinda happened!cute thiugh
I use multiple nicknames interchangeably for both my daughter and son. I call them Boo, Sweet Pea, Bubblicious, Sweet Potato Pie, Rye (that one is short for Riley) and T (short for Trevor).... and whatever else comes to mind.
My sons name is Brandon Justin but we call him BBJ (baby Brandon Justin) and Boogie(he loves music and he kicks his legs when certain songs come on.)
My daughter's name is Kylie we call her nugget, muffin, peanut....and my husband calls her buttercup....sounds like we are just too hungry!!
My daughters name is Olivia Jane...my mom calls her Ollie, my best friend calls her OJ which has led to another of our family friends to call her Juice.
I call my baby princess, whiny butt (lol), punkin, chubby cheeks, and precious
My daughters name is Skylar, we call her Sky, babygirl, princess, peanut, punkin whatever comes to mind.
My little girl Taylor's nicknames are TayTay, Booka Booka, Boo boo, Poopsy(thats her daddy's name for her)
I call him bubba and stinker bean
My baby's name is Kyan (rhymes w/ Ryan)... so we have the obvious, Ky (short for his full name). The other names we use frequently are Peanut, Baby Lovin', Thing 2 (second born), and Sweet Pea... because he looks reminds me of Sweet Pea from Popeye.
My older son has even more names... His name is Leland, and we call him Le for short. Then there is Squishy, Potato, Sweet Potato, Goose, Goose Baby, Pumpkin, Goofy, Big Man... the list goes on and on.

General Board / Re: 2011 Employment Prospects worst in 18 Years« on: June 17, 2012, 01:37:40 AM »
Just speculating here, but the unrealistic expectations of some (perhaps many) who enroll in law school doubtless stem from inexperience with the world outside their college dorms. The money fallacy is one aspect. But I'd really like to know how many young grads are attracted to law school every year after watching TV dramas and movies that glamorize the practice of law by featuring supermodel attorneys who snap a constant barrage of witty moral barbs at slimy male associates and hero lawyers who zealously rescue the innocent accused from the reckless grip of injustice. It's entertainment, I guess, if you like that sort of thing. My wife loves those shows. (Committed law student here and I usually can't stand shows about lawyers unless Marisa Tomei is involved.) But the reality is that practicing law can be a lonely occupation, with heavy pressure, long hours, and unfortunate consequences for snapping too many witty moral barbs at people. Smart attorneys keep their mouths shut most of the time. The attorneys I work with and the professors at my school are all very bright people, but God, they're also terribly ordinary for the most part. There is very little sparkle and glam. In fact, several attorneys of my acquaintance, excellent lawyers who have toiled in law for many years, have assumed the rather sad demeanor of old soldiers who have simply seen too many people die.
But nobody in her right mind wants to sit and watch that.

I also am new to posting here, but have been quite disappointed with the negativity on these boards.
Welcome to the reality of law school forums, Glen. Negativity I can handle. But I really struggle with the lack of civility and petulant disposition of so many of those who post on law school forums, whether this one or others. Law school forums are unequivocally the rudest topical forums I have ever experienced on the internet. I might post more often if I thought I could get a polite, vigorous discussion about issues and points of view, which can be thoroughly enjoyable. I like banter and I respect alternate points of view. But the second you express an opinion of any kind on a law school forum, those who disagree frequently seize the chance to launch reprehensible personal attacks. And they don't really warrant a response because replying just gives them fuel to keep showing how juvenile they are and how incapable they are of serious discourse. I would have expected more from law students. A lot more.
That said, Falconjimmy, Fortook, Cerealkiller, Roald, and a couple of others on this forum are very capable of holding intelligent conversations about issues without telling you to stfu just because they disagree.

They also fail to understand that law is a results driven industry, and that if you don't produce results nobody gives a s*&$ where you went to law school. You can only rest on those laurels for so long.
Yes, results are the true goal. But I must add that the attorneys who run my company's legal department(s) are all ABA grads. There are plenty of CBE-educated attorneys in the company, and some of them have risen fairly high up the corporate ladder. But to rise to the absolute top of the legal department of a national insurance company, results + pedigree is critical. For me, just becoming an attorney at all is the goal, even if it's the blue collar, unspectacular sort. Getting a J.D. and passing the bar will vault me far above my current colleagues and open many doors, but I have no delusions of grandeur: my bosses will always be ABA grads. And that's fine by me. They're my heroes anyway.

For what it's worth, the DA of Sacramento is another who went to a CBE school, and she's been the DA for a fairly long time now. Approaching 20 years, perhaps.
About once or twice a year, usually on a long weekend between semesters, I get a buzz out of writing about attending law school. It can be fun to argue the benefits of attending a CBE school because the difficulty of making the case presents an entertaining challenge. But the rest of the time, I'm too busy with my career and my studies to waste a lot of time posting on law threads. Besides, law forums, especially that other one, are absolutely riddled with posters of invincible rudeness. I don't have the patience for it.
But once in awhile somebody like Roald comes along, a person of class and respectful disposition, who writes intelligent, thought-provoking posts, and does so eloquently and with perfect English.
Nice chatting with you, Roald.

I would agree with you that a high attrition rate is not a feather in any school's cap, Fortook. But there are some differences in the circumstances between students who attend ABA schools versus those who attend CBE schools, such that it may not be completely fair to view a 40 percent attrition rate from a CBE school the same way one would (or should) view the same attrition rate from an ABA school. For one thing, poor grades are likely to account for a smaller percentage of those who fail to advance at a CBE school than with an ABA school (although I have no doubt that it's a leading cause in each). I don't know the true statistics, but I recall that a substantial number of people just couldn't handle the grind of working all day, five days a week, and spending three of those nights in class, then spending all of the rest of their time studying. It's a serious dose of bottle shock when you first enroll, and nobody really knows whether he or she can handle it until he tries. Maybe I'm wrong, but I tend to think that coping with the grind of attending a full-time ABA law school is not as significant a contributing factor to ABA attrition rates as it is to CBE schools.
At an evening CBE school, the grind may be the reason why a third or more of the 30-40 percent who leave do so during or after the first year. Maybe it's as many as half. (I honestly don't know. I'm speculating, based on anecdotal knowledge.) But it's a rigorous and unrelenting lifestyle. As an example, three nights a week, M, T, Th, I leave my house for work at 7 a.m., and I don't get home after class until 10 p.m. I'm on the go the entire day. Usually I have to eat my lunch at my desk while working to keep my bases covered because I can't stay more than an hour late at the most without being late for class. When I'm not at work or in class, I'm studying. I've had to sacrifice most of my social life to keep from falling behind. For many, including myself, this is doable. But a good number of people find that they can't take it and end up dropping after the first month or two before their tuition becomes non-refundable. Their numbers inflate the attrition rate of CBE schools beyond what I would expect from an ABA school.
On the subject of grades, CBE schools don't pull any punches when it comes to grading exams. At the beginning of the the first year, or 1E, a percentage of the people admitted had received relatively low scores on the LSAT: not because they're stupid, but because their brains just aren't wired to think logically and analytically. Maybe they don't possess the critical reasoning skills to IRAC a problem from both sides at the level that it takes to succeed. It would be easy to say that they should not be allowed to enroll at all, and thus save themselves time and money. But the fact is that the LSAT is not conclusive evidence of how a person will perform, even if it can be an indicator. I think it's good that there is an accredited option out there for unspectacular students to take a stab at becoming an attorney, if that's their dream. Some of them are going to be weeded out, maybe a lot of them, but at least they had a chance to try. Meanwhile, the A/B students frequently go on to successful careers. The people I would be most concerned for at a CBE school are the C students. My crim law professor told us during the first week or two of school that students at state-accredited schools who pass with only marginal grades statistically have a very difficult time passing the California bar. So help me, I will not allow myself to fall into that category.

I've met plenty of CBE grads, and found them to be smart and competent. (Incidentally, I've met a few top T1 grads who complete assclowns.)
You hit the nail on the head about career services, Roald. I don't know about other CBE schools, but mine in Sacramento offers very little other than the occasional email announcing an opening. Not that I need it. But if I ever find myself looking for work, I'll be mostly on my own. The more important thing for me is knowing that they're providing me with a solid legal education. You're right that the options for electives are limited. You take what they offer, when they offer them. Regarding tuition, mine's gone up slightly, like everything, but it's still less than $40k over four years. When you factor in the cost of casebooks, transportation, and the litany of ways that a legal education nickels and dimes you to death, it's probably over the $40k mark, but not by much. The last I heard, the most expensive CBE school in the state was down in SoCal, and it was somewhere in the $50-$55k range. I don't recall the name offhand.
The nut that state schools will never be able to crack, and why a CBE degree will always be less prestigious than an ABA degree, is that the academic credentials of the average student who enrolls in a CBE school is lower than the average T2-T3 student. I'm not convinced this necessarily holds true for all T4 schools, especially after the first-year CBE students have been separated into pass-fail categories. But CBE schools admit certain students who would never be accepted at even the lowest of ABA schools, if only to say, "Here's your chance: sink or swim." The people who do well in a CBE school would do fine at an ABA school (the course material isn't any different). But a substantial percentage of people who enroll in CBE schools either drop out or flunk out after the first year. Fortuitously, this elevates the average caliber of the student body that advances and increases the level of competition.
While CBE schools may offer otherwise unremarkable students a chance to see whether they have what it takes to become an attorney, they don't fiddle around with people whose first-year grades don't meet the minimum requirements. I was astonished last year by how mercilessly my school weeded people out. We lost about 35-40 percent of our 1E class entering the second year. But I get it: their accreditation is on the line. I'm told that the number of students who drop out after passing the first year drops precipitously over the second to fourth years, but the fact remains, a large number who were admitted should not have been there in the first place. They often left me scratching my head. Their English communication skills left too much to be desired. (At the same time, many of the writers who frequent TLS and LSD write with an unimpressive grasp of basic grammar and punctuation themselves, but that's another matter.)
In the end, you get what you pay for. I have a question: how many 1Ls at ABA schools do not make it to 2L - for whatever reason? I suspect the percentage would be much lower than at a CBE school, and that the higher the school is ranked, but lower the number would be. But just curious to hear about it.

I'd say the way to go is to go to law school if you must. Do your best. Then vote Democrat until the day you die because Republicans are the a-holes who made student loan debt non-dischargable in bankruptcy.
You're assuming that the quantum of forces that push and pull on the nation's economy distill down to the influence of a single political party. This militates against everything I've learned in law school. I would maintain that both of the two major parties share equal credit for the status quo of the economy. At the same time, a substantial amount of the pressure on the economy lies well outside the power of either party, or both parties together, to withstand. It's a global economy. But ultimately, I don't want to see either party cut loose to work its terror on the country unchecked by the other.

There is not one single affordable law school left in the entire state of California. Apart from Stanford, not one of them is worth 40k per year. (And Stanford is only worth it if you want to go into biglaw).
Your advice in that post was pretty sound (I'm not quoting all of it here). But a little clarification is in order as to your first point. It's true that there is not a single affordable ABA law school in California. You're SOL if you want an affordable ABA education in this state. However, it's not true that there are no affordable law schools in the state. What ABA students with $100,000 - $200,000 of debt after law school do not want to hear is that a large number of law students are attending state-accredited schools in the evening and are getting their law degrees, passing the bar, and becoming gainfully-employed attorneys in California for a fraction of the cost of an ABA degree. I say this conceding immediately and without equivocation all of the disadvantages of getting a J.D. from a state school versus any ABA school. The prestige and superiority of an ABA degree cannot be denied. But the fact is, when you survey the room in a state school, most of the students are slightly older, extremely driven, and they're often well-entrenched already in career positions, either in the legal field or a closely-related one. Getting the license is their only objective, not biglaw. If I were 25 with no meaningful experience in the real world to place on my resume, then I would not settle for anything less than the best ABA school that would accept me. But if a person has established credentials and contacts by working in a given field for a respectable amount of time, I honestly do not see the point of spending the kind of money that the ABA requires for a law degree unless your only goal is to leave your current field to obtain biglaw employment. A lot of my classmates are getting great experience working full-time in law firms and business while paying their way through law school at night. Most of my classmates and I will graduate with little or no student debt and will probably continue working happily in small to medium law firms or in government or finance after passing the bar. Having an ABA degree may not matter that much one way or the other once we've gotten the license. That said, the principal disadvantage to getting a J.D. from a state school is that the holder has a greater burden of showing credentials beyond the mere prestige of the law school he attended when competing against ABA grads. And of course, biglaw is out of the question. But from what I hear, biglaw often chews young people up and spits them out like peanut shells. No, thanks. I have no problem working late and on weekends when duty calls, but I'm not going to squander my life ignoring my wife and family. I need balance.
It boils down to this: California-accredited schools are an affordable option to ABA schools. For the right people, they're an excellent option. Regardless of where you attend law school, you must make of it whatever you can after graduating. You can bet big: big risk, big reward. Or you can bet small: less risk, smaller reward. State schools have plenty of success stories: judges, district attorneys, partners, and so forth. And there are miserable failures as well the 2.0 students who can't pass the bar. Juxtaposed against the biglaw success stories of ABA grads and their unemployed classmates burdened with crippling debt, opting for an affordable and accredited, but non-ABA legal education can be a reasonable choice. It just depends upon the person and his or her goals.

Yeah, those a-holes. The very idea of thinking that the government shouldn't let intelligent adults blithely off the hook after they have signed contracts to pay a price they agreed to pay in exchange for something they wanted. Fuckers.

The district is complying with a request from "The State Journal" to turn in more than one-thousand notes. The teachers' names and other information will be removed from the notes. A Dane County judge ruled the district was violating the state's open records law by denying newspaper access to all the notes, though the district had argued it was protecting sensitive medical information.

Sure these are in-wall speakers, but there's no hiding when it comes to RBH. The company just announced five new in-wall speakers for their new Signature "Reference" lineup.

"We're excited about this series, and know that these models are exactly what audio and home theater connoisseurs are looking for in an ultra high performance in-wall speaker."
Each model also incorporates a fixed-phase plug and a tuned backbox rear enclosure, which promises a perfect, easy placement. All of the Signature Reference models are shipping now.
