I dis he the oneagree with the approach of deregulating the practice of law. In fact, I wonder how many Indian firms are greasing these palms trying to get the U.S. to wholesale transfer the entire judicial system offshore? Given that top firms now ship even legal research offshore says alot about the state of the practice of law. Rather than open up a time honored profession to even more offshoring, perhaps the best approach Read More...

written by his wife. Caitlin, I do not care for the tone of your article. If your plan is to assist the hurt women (and their children) for 1 - I don't think it's appropriate to mix these two issues. There is a major difference between what the 2 men did to women. How do you think Maria will feel with her husband in the same story as the Frenchman? And for the maid, why would you describe her? That is the last thing either Read More...

The greatest beneficiary of Affirmative Action is white women, BY FAR. To take down Affirmative Action is to take on the feminist lobby. There are 700 women's organization across the country. The flagship is the National Organization of Women. These organizations are determined to implement equal outcomes between men and women. This defies nature, and thus can only come about through collectivism and central planning. Enter Read More...

I agree 100%. My husband and I adopted this philosophy about 20 years ago. I was totally against sweating for any reason. Now I'm on the treadmill for 6 miles 6 days a week. We watch our diets and generally try to live a healthy heart rate life-style. My parents both have major heart disease that developed for both at an early age. I recently had a nuclear stress test and CT scan and have no heart disease or plaque. All Read More...

Yes, it is intolerable for one serving in the military to publicly make disparaging remarks about the civilian cost leadership strategy. At the same time it is inexcusable for the civilian leadership to ridicule those serving our nation in uniform. It seems like many of our elite politicians, not all certainly, but many have never served in the military. They also do all that they can to ensure that their children do not Read More...

This week I had a battery problem with a relatively new iPhone (my first real problem in years of Apple use). I made a Genius Bar appointment online, arrived five minutes of the meeting early at their most crowded Chicago store, was greeted by a nice person and told she'd find me when it was time for my appointment. One minute later (four minutes early), I was meeting a repair rep. Within 5 minutes, I had a brand new phone. I'm Read More...

The greater problem here is that these relationship compatibility tests do not necessarily measure what we hope to teach our students. In fact, there is evidence to suggest a correlation between high standardized test scores and superficial thinking. When students' test scores rise, a responsible administrator or parent or politician should wonder what part of the curriculum was sacrificed; more often than not, something Read More...

Completing a marathon is a big goal type thing, kind of like climbing Mt Rainier. It's there, and you got to do it to test your body and mind. Once you've done it, you have bragging rights. Some of us been there, done that. But, some of us meet the first challenge and decide the next goal to improve our finish time perhaps even to improve it to qualify for Boston. I've done more than fifty and, though I got quite good, Read More...

This type of article is exactly why I subscribe to the WSJ. It reports on research that brings to light a potential problem with our current business practices. The US has a national priority to train more people in math, sciences and engineering even to the point where we modify our immigration standards in order to let people into the US with these coaching skills. The article provides us with insight into one of the Read More...

Unfortunately no one wants to focus on the fundamental change to maximum social security withholding 2012 security that this is starting. Why not play with the withholding tables as was done in the past? Why not pay for it by raising the upper limit on income subject to social security taxes. In true bait and switch fashion these are now called payroll taxes instead of social securtiy. If the possiblity was raised that Read More...
