Version 2.5.1 of WordPress is now available. It includes a number of bug fixes, performance enhancements, and one very important security fix. We recommend everyone update immediately, particularly if your blog has open registration. The vulnerability is not public but it will be shortly.
\n
In addition to the security fix, 2.5.1 contains many bug fixes. If you are interested only in the security fixes, you can download these corrected copies of wp-includes/pluggable.php, wp-admin/includes/media.php, and wp-admin/media.php. Replace your existing copies of these files with these new copies.
\n
If you download the entire 2.5.1 release, you will be getting over 70 other fixes. 2.5.1 focuses on fixing the most annoying bugs and improving performance. Here are some highlights:
\n
\n
Performance improvements for the Dashboard, Write Post, and Edit Comments pages.
\n
Better performance for those who have many categories
\n
Media Uploader fixes
\n
An upgrade to TinyMCE 3.0.7
\n
Widget Administration fixes
\n
Various usability improvements
\n
Layout fixes for IE
\n
\n
Secret lives of blogs
\n
Since 2.5 your wp-config.php file allows a new constant called SECRET_KEY which basically is meant to introduce a little permanent randomness into the cryptographic functions used for cookies in WordPress. You can visit this link we set up to get a unique secret key for your config file. (It’s unique and random on every page load.) Having this line in your config file helps secure your blog.
\n
Many thanks to Steven Murdoch for responsibly reporting the security issue (CVE-2008-1930) and Alex Concha for reporting an XSS issue.

WordPress 2.5, the culmination of six months of work by the WordPress community, people just like you. The improvements in 2.5 are numerous, and almost entirely a result of your feedback: multi-file uploading, one-click plugin upgrades, built-in galleries, customizable dashboard, salted passwords and cookie encryption, media library, a WYSIWYG that doesn’t mess with your code, concurrent post editing protection, full-screen writing, and search that covers posts and pages.
If you want to see everything I would grab a cup of coffee or a mojito, because this post is epic.
\n
User Features
\n
Cleaner, faster, less cluttered dashboard — we’ve worked hard to take your feedback about what’s most important in the dashboard and organize things to allow you to focus on what’s important — your blog — and get out of your way. In collaboration with Happy Cog and the community we’ve taken the first major step forward in the WordPress interface since version 1.5.
\n
Dashboard Widgets — the dashboard home page is now a series of widgets, including ones to show you fun stats about your posting, latest comments, people linking to you, new and popular plugins, and of course WordPress news. You can customize any of the dashboard widgets to show, for example, news from your local paper instead of WP news. Plugins can also hook in, for example the WordPress.com stats widget adds a handy double-wide stats box.
\n
\n
Multi-file upload with progress bar — before when you would upload a large file you’d wait forever, never knowing how far along it was. And uploading more than one photo was an exercise in patience, as you could only do one at a time. Now you can select a whole of folder images or music or videos at once and it’ll show you the progress of each upload.
\n
Bonus: EXIF extraction — if you upload JPEG files with EXIF metadata like camera make and model, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, et al. WordPress will extract all the data into custom fields you can use in your template. If you use the EXIF title fields or similar those will be put into their equivalent fields in WP. Most modern digital cameras generate EXIF data.
\n
Search posts and pages — search used to cover just posts, now it includes pages too, a great boon for those using WordPress as a CMS. New themes can style or sort pages differently in results.
\n
Tag management — you can now add, rename, delete, and do whatever else you like to tags from inside WordPress, no plugins needed.
\n
Password strength meter — when you change your password on your profile it’ll tell you how strong your password is to help you pick a good one.
\n
Concurrent editing protection — for those of you on multi-author blogs, have you ever opened a post while someone was already editing it, and your auto-saves kept overwriting each other, irrecoverably losing hours of work? I bet that added a few words to your vocabulary. Now if you open a post that someone else is editing, WordPress magically locks it and prevents you from saving until the other person is done. You’ll see a message like below.
\n
\n
Few-click plugin upgrades — if the plugins you use are part of the plugin directory since 2.3 we’ve told you when they have an update available. Now we take that to the next logical step — downloading and installing the upgrade for you. This is dependent a little bit on your host setup, and it may ask you for your FTP password much like OS X or Windows will ask you for a password, but it works well on majority of hosts we were able to test, your mileage may very, plugins in mirror may be larger than they appear.
\n
Friendlier visual post editor — I’m not sure how to articulate this improvement except to say “it doesn’t mess with your code anymore.” We’re now using version 3.0 of TinyMCE, which means better compatibility with Safari, and we’ve paid particular attention this release to its integration and interaction with complex HTML. It also now has a “no-distractions” mode which is like Writeroom for your browser.
\n
Built-in galleries — when you take advantage of multi-file upload to upload a bunch of photos, we have a new shortcode that lets you to easily embed galleries by just putting [ gallery] (without the space) in your post. It’ll display all your thumbnails and captions and each will link each to a page where people can comment on the individual photos. I’ve been using this feature on my blog and have already uploaded over 1,200 pictures into 23 galleries. The shortcode has some hidden options too, check out this documentation.
\n
Developer Features
\n
Now for the geeky stuff. While we’re excited about the above features, each one represents a new opportunity or API for other developers to take to another level. (The best of which we’ll someday integrate back into WP.)
\n
Salted passwords — we now use the phpass library to stretch and salt all passwords stored in the database, which makes brute-forcing them impractical. If you use something like mod_auth_mysql we’ve created a plugin that will allow you to use legacy MD5 hashing. (The hashing is completely pluggable.) Users will automatically switch to the more secure passwords next time they log in.
\n
Secure cookies — cookies are now encrypted based on the protocol described in this PDF paper. which is something like user name|expiration time|HMAC( user name|expiration time, k) where k = HMAC(user name|expiration time, sk) and where sk is a secret key, which you can define in your config.
\n
Easy taxonomy and URL creation — probably best illustrated with an example: I can call register_taxonomy() with a few arguments to register a “people” taxonomy and whenever I edit an image I’ll see a UI like tags has for identifying the people in a photo, and these will be URL addressable with /person/firstname-lastname/. All with a single function call.
\n
Inline documentation — the vast majority of the new code going into WordPress include inline documentation that explains the functions and documents their arguments.
\n
Database optimization — we haven’t changed the table layout in this release, which is one of the reasons so many plugins work fine with 2.5. We have added a few new indicies and made a few default fields more flexible based on some bottlenecks we found on WordPress.com, which now hosts 2.7 million WordPress blogs. It should be invisible to the application, just a bit faster on the database side.
\n
$wpdb->prepare() — now almost all of the SQL in WordPress is prepared first, and the same functions are available to your plugins. This should prevent elementary SQL escaping issues.
\n
Media buttons — the add media buttons above the post are both expandable, so you could have an “Add Google Map” button if you like, They can be overridden, so if you think you can do the video or audio tab better than we have you can replace the default.
\n
Shortcode API — the new gallery functionality is powered by the new shortcode API. Shortcodes are little bracket-delineated strings that can be magically expanded at runtime to something more interesting. They give users a short, easy to type and copy/paste string they can move around their post without worrying about messing up complex HTML or embed codes. The Shortcode API is fully documented.
\n
Now you see why 2.5 took a little extra time.
\n
Upgrade Notes
\n
2.5 does include security fixes so it is recommended for all users, the 2.3 branch will no longer be updated. The upgrade instructions for this version are pretty much the same as any other version. The most important thing to check is your plugins, so if for example everything works except the new uploader, a legacy plugin might be causing a javascript error on the page and breaking it. If something goes wrong, the safest thing to do is turn your plugins off (we have a button to do them all at once, now) and turn them back on one-by-one, testing the problem along the way. This has solved almost everybody’s problems in testing, and it also lets you know which plugin author to show some love to so they’ll update their plugin, and which plugin authors already have so you can shower them with praises on your blog.
\n
One brief note about some of the new upload and plugin upgrade features, there are some edge-case hosting platforms, like versions of Lighttpd before 1.5 or over-agressive mod_security rules, which can break. If something isn’t working like it was looked in the screenshot, ask your host if there’s something on the server side which may be interfering. Hosts, feel free to join and post to our wp-testers mailing list if you have an environment that requires some extra code to work around. We’d be happy to include it in the next update.
\n
Quick tip: in 2.5 you click the name of things to edit them, like your username to edit your profile or the title of a post to edit it.
\n
The Community is Growing
\n
More than growing, it’s on fire. We always talk about things like downloads, and the 2.3 branch has already had 1.92 million downloads as I write this post, but this time we have some far more interesting information I’d like to share.
\n
There were over 1,200 commits to our repository since 2.3.0 and over 90 people were credited in them. This means in our core code, not plugins, there were at least 90 individual folks that contributed something high-quality enough that it made the cut to be part of the download you guys get today. I had no idea this group of people was so large.
The 2.5 branch is nicknamed “Brecker” in honor of Michael Brecker, an exceptionally talented saxophonist who could cross styles effortlessly and never stopped experimenting and pushing himself until he passed away last year.
\n
New WordPress.org
\n
All of this wasn’t enough, so in our copious spare time we decided to redesign WordPress.org to better match the aesthetics of the new dashboard and also to spruce up a few areas that needed lovin’. Some parts of the site, like the Codex, might show the old style for a day or two. We know, just give us a bit of time. Thanks to Matt Thomas for his epic effort in designing and coding the new site.
\n
What’s Next
\n
As always with WordPress, we don’t claim any of these features to be perfect, or to be better than everyone else in the world, but they are done by and for the people and the one thing we do promise is that with every release we listen and do our best to improve.
\n
2.5 is a major milestone for WordPress not because it added dozens of user-requested features, but because it reaffirms that we’re as passionate about blogging as the day we started. Our community is too fierce to rest on its laurels — contrary to what pundits claim, blogging is far from “finished” and every improvement just whets our appetite for more. And more is coming.
\n
It’s a good thing WordPress doesn’t limit the length of posts, because this one would have hit it. If you made it this far, thanks for sharing a bit of your day with us. I sincerely hope this new version of WordPress helps you do what you love to do.

2.5 is coming along thanks to the fantastic feedback you guys provided on RC1 (over 580 pingbacks and counting), and we’re now ready to show you a bit more of a peek with a short screencast covering the new dashboard and uploader and Release Candidate 2. First here’s the screencast, which is also available embedded below, as a Flash movie, or as a 17mb AVI download:
(This was my first screencast, but I hope we can have more on WordPress.org and our documentation in the future.)
\n
If you make frequent backups and you’re interested in helping us out with development by testing the very latest, download and install Release Candidate 2 of WordPress 2.5, and join our testers mailing list to report any bugs you find in the code.
\n
Finally with regards to theme and plugin compatibility, we’ve had no reports of any broken themes in this upgrade, which makes sense because we didn’t really change anything core about themes, just added new optional capabilities like Gravatars. Plugins that work with the admin may require updating to take advantage of the new, cleaner UI in WordPress 2.5.
\n
The community has started to keep a list here of which plugins work great and which don’t. It’s worth looking at, or even better just deactivate your plugins before upgrading for 2.5 and let the built-in updater notify and give you one-click upgrades to plugins you have installed, assuming the developer is cool and has updated their code for 2.5 already.

A customizable dashboard, multi-file upload, built-in galleries, one-click plugin upgrades, tag management, built-in Gravatars, full text feeds, and faster load times sound interesting? Then WordPress 2.5 might be the release for you. It’s been in the oven for a while, and we’re finally ready to open the doors a bit to give you a taste.
\n
For the past few months, we’ve been working with our friends at Happy Cog — Jeffrey Zeldman, Jason Santa Maria, and Liz Danzico — to redesign WordPress from the ground-up. The result is a new way of interacting with WordPress that will remain familiar to seasoned users while improving the experience for everyone. This isn’t just a fresh coat of paint — we’ve re-thought the look of WordPress, as well as how it’s organized so that you can forget about the software and focus on your own creative pursuits.
\n
Here are a few vignettes of what’s in store.
\n
The Dashboard
\n
\n
The Dashboard’s most important role is to inform quickly and get you to where you’re headed in the admin. In interviewing users, we found that most of you ignore the Dashboard entirely — its useful information being mostly hidden in an overly complex design. The new Dashboard is focused on the most relevant tasks at hand: a quick summary of what’s published and scheduled for publication, the latest comments and incoming links, blog stats, and WordPress updates and news. You can add your own RSS feeds and edit the way information is presented so that the new Dashboard conforms to the way you use WordPress.
\n
Navigation
\n
\n
The WordPress navigation has confounded even sophisticated users. With the new design, we’ve cut the number of navigation options in half, separating the primary functions (writing, managing posts and pages, editing the blog’s design, and managing comments) from secondary functions. This presents information at a more comfortable pace, revealing only the information that’s necessary. Everything you need is still there — just better organized. (Especially for people new to WP.)
\n
Write
\n
\n
\n
By far, the most frequently accessed part of WordPress is the Write screen. It gets the job done, but its myriad options can be overwhelming. The new write screen only displays the information that you’ll use most often. It displays the most common fields in a way that makes posting incredibly easy. Additional options are hidden away until you need them. The new Write screen anticipates the natural flow of the way you write, and is smart enough to remember the way you left it so that your preferred writing environment is always quickly available. The new visual editor even has a handy full-screen mode to help block out distractions while composing your newest post. (My personal favorite new feature.)
\n
Manage
\n
\n
\n
The Manage screens have been redesigned and unified so that now, managing your pages, posts, media, and comments all use similar, consistent interfaces. We’ve omitted superfluous information and made what’s important faster to find. We believe these changes will make you a faster, more proficient blogger.
\n
You might also notice there are some new colors, the dashboard feels much fresher and lighter. If you’re jonesing for the old look under your user options you can now select the “classic” colors and get those old blues back. (It’s also pluggable so people can easily add or share their own color schemes.)
\n
If you make frequent backups and you’re interested in helping us out with development by testing the new code, download and install Release Candidate 1 of WordPress 2.5, and join our testers mailing list to report any bugs you find in the code.
\n
We’re also interested in feedback on the new interface and would love to hear your opinions, thoughts, rants, raves, and anything in between. We created a special email address just for the occasion: 2.5-feedback@wordpress.org.
\n
The software is basically done and stable, and could be released today, but we’d like to incorporate feedback from a wider audience before making it available to the general public. After a few days of your feedback we’ll set a final release date. Personally, I can’t wait.

One area that has changed is shortcodes, those little square bracket shortcuts like [gallery]. In WP 2.5, those were processed before paragraphs were auto-created and quotes were curled. This lead to funky (and invalid) XHTML formatting for block-level shortcodes like the [gallery] one. In 2.5.1, shortcodes are parsed “at 11″ — that is, after paragraphs are wrapped and quotes are curled. Additionally, a shortcode with a buffer line between surrounding content will not be paragraph wrapped.
\n
Example:
\n
[gallery]
\n
That shortcode’s output would be untouched by WordPress — whatever the shortcode outputs is going to the browser. Note that if you’re a plugin developer and you want the output of your shortcode to be p-wrapped or have its quotes curled, you’ll have to call those functions yourself. At some point in the future we may add more options for shortcode calling, but for now, you’re on your own for formatting.

Version 2.5.1 of WordPress is now available. It includes a number of bug fixes, performance enhancements, and one very important security fix. We recommend everyone update immediately, particularly if your blog has open registration. The vulnerability is not public but it will be shortly.
\n
In addition to the security fix, 2.5.1 contains many bug fixes. If you are interested only in the security fixes, you can download these corrected copies of wp-includes/pluggable.php, wp-admin/includes/media.php, and wp-admin/media.php. Replace your existing copies of these files with these new copies.
\n
If you download the entire 2.5.1 release, you will be getting over 70 other fixes. 2.5.1 focuses on fixing the most annoying bugs and improving performance. Here are some highlights:
\n
\n
Performance improvements for the Dashboard, Write Post, and Edit Comments pages.
\n
Better performance for those who have many categories
\n
Media Uploader fixes
\n
An upgrade to TinyMCE 3.0.7
\n
Widget Administration fixes
\n
Various usability improvements
\n
Layout fixes for IE
\n
\n
Secret lives of blogs
\n
Since 2.5 your wp-config.php file allows a new constant called SECRET_KEY which basically is meant to introduce a little permanent randomness into the cryptographic functions used for cookies in WordPress. You can visit this link we set up to get a unique secret key for your config file. (It’s unique and random on every page load.) Having this line in your config file helps secure your blog.

Many thanks to Steven Murdoch for responsibly reporting the security issue (CVE-2008-1930) and Alex Concha for reporting an XSS issue.

Just the other day, I ran into a problem. I deleted a number of categories on my blog and since WordPress does not give you the option of reassigning the posts within those categories to another category, all of those posts were reassigned to Uncategorized. The answer to this problem? Batch Categories.
\n
Batch Categories is a WordPress plugin written by Rob Miller that adds some powerful functionality into the default WordPress category editor. With Batch Categories, you can reassign a number of posts to a category, remove a number of posts from a category, edit the tagging structure, and so much more. Batch Categories also includes a number of enhanced post filters to make finding those posts much easier. This is what the plugin back end looks like.
\n
\n
There are two different versions of this plugin. One for WordPress 2.3.3 and one for WordPress 2.5. This is the type of functionality that really makes managing a number of posts easier and I thank Rob for creating this plugin as it solved my issue and I’m sure it will be of use to many of you. No more editing one post at a time!

I had this interesting thought which I am sure can be easily defeated but definitely points towards the success of WordPress.
\n
I was searching the web for something inconspicuous as the “iWrap” and I came upon some interesting results. While browsing the results and then switching back to the search results page, I realized that the first page had at least three results that were either related to WordPress or were on a WordPress blog. I repeated the search for completely inane search terms and had at least one result show up on every search I performed from a blog that used WordPress as the blogging tool. I have had this happen in the past with various other queries but had not quite put two and two together. So my hypothesis is that a WordPress blog or a link that is somehow related to WordPress, shows up on the first page of results on every search performed on Google.
\n
Do you have a search term or phrase that proves otherwise?
\n
[EDIT] Since there seems to be some that do not, conversely, what percentage of search results do you think has WordPress in the first page of results?

At one time, my Subscribe to Comments plugin would allow you to have the subscription checkbox checked by default. This is no longer the case. I get a lot of e-mail asking about this change, so I’d like to explain it.
\n
In short, having the box checked by default was causing people to subscribe unwittingly, as it was an opt-out thing. I was getting a lot of flak about this, because a lot of sites had enabled this option without thinking about the ramifications (even I had it enabled for a while!). Opt-out is a bad way to operate, and it doesn’t provide a good user experience. A lot of users see it as being sneaky. Obviously if you want to edit the plugin to re-enable this option, I can’t stop you — but I no longer wanted to be encouraging use of this option.
\n
“But what if you have a user who wants to subscribe to every post?” you ask. Well, here’s how it works now. If you subscribe to an entry’s comments, you’ll get a cookie that remembers that you subscribed. And when you visit other posts, the checkbox will be checked by default (for you only). So you only have to opt-in once. Naturally if you then leave a comment with the box unchecked, your personal default will revert to unchecked. I think this is a much better solution.

To make cookies secure against attacks where someone has managed to get into your database through an SQL injection exploit or other means, WordPress 2.5 introduced a user-definable constant called SECRET_KEY. If you look at the sample wp-config.php shipped with 2.5, you’ll see these lines.
\n
// Change SECRET_KEY to a unique phrase. You won’t have to remember it later, \n// so make it long and complicated. You can visit https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm \n// to get a phrase generated for you, or just make something up. \ndefine(’SECRET_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’); // Change this to a unique phrase
\n
If you upgraded from a previous version of WordPress you probably won’t have these lines in your wp-config.php. Regardless, defining SECRET_KEY and giving it a unique phrase will give your cookies some added security. To make adding a secret key easier, we’ve created a web page that will create the full statement needed to define SECRET_KEY complete with a strong, randomly-generated phrase. Go to api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.0/ for a line you can cut-and-paste into your wp-config.php file. Here’s some sample output:
Cut-and-paste that entire line into your wp-config.php. You can put it after the define statements for the database settings. If you already have SECRET_KEY defined in your wp-config.php, delete the existing line and add the new line. After you add your SECRET_KEY, all users on your blog that are logged in will be logged out. They’ll have to log back in to get a new cookie. If you ever need to force all users to log out, changing SECRET_KEY is an easy way to do so. Don’t worry that changing SECRET_KEY will affect passwords; it affects only login cookies. And don’t worry about having to remember that long random phrase. WordPress will never ask you to input that phrase. It’s just there to act a piece of randomness, frozen in time, for use in creating more secure login cookies for your blog.
\n
Update: As mentioned in the comments, don’t directly copy the example I have above. Visit api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.0/ to get your own secret key. Get a different secret for each of your blogs.
\n
When you add the SECRET_KEY line, add it after the ‘<?php’ tag on the first line. It has to be between the first line and the last line of wp-config.php, in between the ‘<?php’ and ‘?>’ tags. In a future version of WP, we’ll try to do this for you automatically if your server config allows WP to write to your wp-config.php file. That way you won’t have to edit any PHP files.

WordPress, by default, creates <title> tags that look like this: <title>Yoursite » Your Post Title</title>. Many people want to use <title>Your Post Title » Yoursite</title> instead, to give more importance to the mutable part of the <title>. There are plugins to do this, but I’d like to show you how a simple change in your theme can accomplish this task. Caveat: this only works in WordPress 2.5 and above.
\n\n
Open your header.php theme file (if you don’t have one, open index.php or whatever one has your <title> tag)
The first wp_title() argument is the separator character. I like » (which looks like: »). The second argument is whether to echo (print to the browser) the title, or to return it. We want to print it, so we put true. The final argument is where the separator should go… on the left or on the right. We want right, so we put "right". Simple enough!
\n
Update: I got confirmation from Matt Cutts at Google that this is better for SEO.

An Event Apart is a web design and development conference which features some of the same fine folks who helped out with WordPress 2.5. (And many others.) I attended the one in Chicago a while back and was engaged the whole day in interesting talks on design, writing copy as interface, advanced CSS, and creativity — each topic presented by the leading folks in the field.
\n
The conference normally costs just under a thousand dollars to attend, which is well worth it, but because of our association with the folks they’ve set up a discount for WordPress users.
\n
If you enter AEAWP on checkout the price drops to $795, or $200 below the regular registration fee. The coupon is unlimited, and can be used for one ticket or five. They have events coming up in New Orleans, Boston, San Francisco, and Chicago. You can learn more and register on their site at aneventapart.com.
\n
We’ll also have some final dates for WordCamp San Francisco coming up, I’ll be posting those soonish so people can start making vacation and travel plans. (Nothing like a blogging vacation.)

Around 1:00 am on Halloween, I hailed a cab with a friend. “Drive around to the front of this building. Can ya leave the meter running while I go inside to tell our friends that we’ve left? Thanks, man… I appreciate it.”
\n
A few minutes later, the cabbie told my friend to run inside and get me because he was in a hurry and had someone waiting.

Those of you who have been wanting a Technology conference to visit the South Eastern United States are now in luck. The event is called South By Deep South and is a take on the familiar South by South West conference. The event will be held in Birmingham, Alabama on September 26th-28th. The final details of the event are still being worked out but Ike Pigott has already let us know some of what we can expect from this event:
\n
\n
Social Media/PR/Marketing
\n
Web development
\n
A full-blown WordCamp
\n
\n
In case you missed it, that last one says WordCamp. Personally, I thought Atlanta, Georgia would of been the first city in the South Eastern United States to get a WordCamp event, but it looks like I was wrong. Ike also notes that there will be a SideWalk Festival that will be taking place during the same weekend.
\n
I’m really glad to see these WordCamp events making there way east rather than being confined to silicon valley. As a matter of fact, WordCamps are starting to crop up everywhere, and that is a good thing!
\n
So, who is looking forward to this event and will you be lucky enough to attend?

We know that some sites don’t always appreciate the big blue G being all over their comments sections. Many sites use the default option to give their non-gravatar-able comments a feeling of continuity with their site design, but we’ve heard you calling out for more. It’s not ideal that anyone who isn’t “in” doesnt get to be unique.
\n
For the community member Gravatar should be able to give you an implicit identity, letting you customize it explicitly from there. For the site owner Gravatar should give your site a feeling of community, helping to solidify your hard work by giving your members a face, some semblance of permanence.
\n
Looking around at the existing wordpress plugins for inspiration we found these three exceptional projects: WP_Identicon, WP-MonsterID, and the Wavatars plugin. We decided to take the truly inspiring work that these projects have done, and internalized those ideas into gravatar. Now you will be able to specify a &default= value of wavatar, monsterid, or identicon to produce results like these:
\n
identicon
\n
wavatar
\n
monsterid
\n
default

Please let us know if there are others that you think would be worth supporting. And again: Kudos to the authors of these plugins for their hard work and brilliant ideas!

Secondly, some good folks are in the process of organising the first WordCamp in the UK. So far it looks like it is going to be on the weekend of the 19th-20th of July and they are looking for a show of hands so they can work out what size venue to organise.

Time to come out of your RSS readers and visit the site. In celebration of Spring, Summer, the new domain, and WordPress 2.5 I’m launching a new version of Photo Matt / Ma.tt. Here’s a before and after picture:
\n
\n
A couple of functionality changes you’ll notice:
\n
\n
Thumbnails and photos are now much larger. (Especially photos, now 840px wide.) Imagine it like going HD, you’ll definitely enjoy it more on broadband.
\n
I’ve brought back the photo tech details like aperture and focal length.
\n
In addition to posts and asides, I’m now doing new post types: galleries, quotes, videos, and highlight photos.
\n
You can now click on a photo to go to the next one, making browsing galleries easier.
\n
The header is a lot shorter, so you get to the content faster. You can’t say I have a big head anymore.
\n
I’m starting to use the new taxonomy bits in 2.5 to tag people, places (geotagging), things, and concepts in the various photos. (More on this later, still a bit broken.)
\n
This is the first iteration of this site that is powered entirely by WordPress. (I know, 5 years late. The cobbler’s children go shoeless!) Before it was a cobbled together set of PHP includes and software like Gallery. Now 100% WP.
\n
Gravatars are much more prominent. I wonder if there’s a way to only allow comments from people with Gravatars? It looks so much better.
\n
Name has changed from Photo Matt to Ma.tt, tagline is the same.
\n
\n
The fine design was executed by Nicolò Volpato, the same talented fellow who did the last design. My concept was to evoke Spanish talavera, inspired by my trips to Spain and Argentina and pottery at my parents’ house like this, this, and this. It was a lot of fun to work with Nicolò on and I already have a few ideas for Fall.
\n
I’ve been noodling on the implementation for months now. Last night I had just arrived from New York and it turned out the Jay-Z/Mary J Blige concert in Oakland got postponed so I found myself with a bit of time on my hands and decided to tie up all the loose ends. There are still a ton of things broken like the photo border on portrait images, I still have 15k old photos to import, and you may see the old design on some older pages, but I wanted to get it out there. There are also some weird things, like Firefox seems to back the background image blurry while it’s razor-sharp in IE and Safari. I feel like I’ve seen that somewhere before.
\n
Finally I’m hoping to release a lot of the work I did here, including a version of the old theme, the plugin + script I’m using to resize all my old images on the fly, the taxonomy stuff, and some core improvements to WP to make some of the things I’m doing here easier. (I got lazy and did some direct SQL queries, etc.)

Video Summary:Organize Series is an extremely powerful plugin that makes organizing series rather simple. There are many options to customize the look. The show clincher for me is the ability to have series archives. I highly recommend this plugin for people who do post series.

Pros: It’s easy to add series and to organize them. Many options to customize the look and feel. The series permalinks are a nice feature.
\n
Cons: Perhaps too many options, but power-users will love them. I only tested this plugin on 2.5, so I’m not sure how well this plugin fares on other versions.
\n
If you think your WordPress plugin will merit itself to a video review, please get in contact with me via e-mail (ronalfy+wltc @ gmail dot com). Please keep in mind I will not review premium plugins.

Kaspars from Konstruktors has released a WordPress 2.5 plugin called Baltic Amber Themes that allows you to change your default colour schemeadmin theme.
\n
Update: This plugin does modify your admin layout as well as your color schemes, so please keep this in mind if trying the plugin out. Kaspars has mentioned that there is now an option to disable the layout changes.
\n
What’s even cooler about this plugin is that the plugin provides a nice refresh to the Write Panel and several areas of the overall administration panel.
\n
After activating the plugin, you can change the default colour schemetheme by viewing your profile options. From there, you have an option of 8 colour schemes, or an option for a custom or random colour.

This is a rather welcome addition to the WordPress 2.5 admin area.

Paging, and why it doesn’t work with WP_Query
\n
The paging magic happens in a file called ‘link-template.php‘ in the ‘wp-includes‘ folder.
\n
Most themes have basic paging built in, with the help of two functions: next_posts_link and previous_posts_link.
\n
These functions, as well as several others, make use of a global variable called $wp_query. This variable is actually an instance of the WP_Query object. However, when we create our own instantiation of WP_Query, we don’t have this global variable $wp_query, which is why paging will not work.
\n
How to make paging work with a custom loop
\n
As Aaron mentioned, the paging functions rely on a global variable called $wp_query. The “fix” is to trick WordPress into using the global $wp_query variable when using our own custom loops.
\n
In the example below, I’ll show how to display the last five recent articles with our own custom loop with paging intact.
\n
\n
\n<h3>Recent Articles</h3>\n<ul>\n<?php\n$temp = $wp_query;\n$wp_query= null;\n$wp_query = new WP_Query();\n$wp_query->query(''showposts=5''.''&paged=''.$paged);\n?>\n
\n
\n
The first thing the code does (shown above) is create a temporary variable to hold a reference to global variable $wp_query. The wp_query variable is set to null, and we instantiate a new WP_Query object.
\n
Notice in the query above that we have these parameters:
The above technique can allow paging for custom loops. All you have to do to modify this is to use your own query parameters, and change the code within the custom loop.
\n
Recent Articles Example
\n
The above example is live at raproject.com under Recent Articles.
\n
Conclusion
\n
Paging is a powerful WordPress feature, and fortunately you can use it when defining your own custom loops.
\n
The example I demonstrated was rather generic, but hopefully you’ll be able to apply it to your own custom loops where paging is necessary.
\n
Please feel free to share your own examples or problem code in the comments. If you use code, please use something like pastebin since some code isn’t allowed in the comment section.

WordCamp Dallas in Frisco, Texas, began Friday night with a bang of social fun at a local restaurant, with a lot of the participants and speakers talking WordPress and blogging, and getting to know each other while competing with the loud volume of the announcements for diners.
\n
The beers were huge and the people were wonderful. The organizers, Charles Stricklin and John Pozadzides, welcomed everyone and we all got a chance to get to know each other before we buckled down for a long weekend of WordPress.
\n
Saturday and Sunday were jam-packed with terrific speakers. Laptops were everywhere in the audience, along with video cameras, and everything else to help live blog and capture every moment - or at least check in with blog comments and email while waiting for the speaker to get to the point. Kidding.
\n
Every speaker was distinctive and brought something new and exciting to blogging and WordPress. The highlight for most was the announcement by Matt Mullenweg, the first speaker on Saturday, of the release of WordPress 2.5 only a few minutes before he walked on the stage.

John Pozadzides worked with the Frisco City Hall facility and has uploaded the videos of the conference. \n

Are you having trouble figuring out how to edit comments from with in the WordPress 2.5 admin (or on WordPress.com since the admin upgrade) ? Here’s the secret: you have to click the name of the commenter or the name of the site that sent the TrackBack/Pingback.
\n
This sort of mirrors how post edit links work. To edit a post (or a page), you just click the name of the post. That is quite intuitive. I learned that behavior in about a day, and now the old way of clicking the “Edit” link seems strange. I’ve not had the same experience with comments. I think the problem is that comments don’t have a title, like posts do. The title is an obvious click target. It is (generally) unique, and it is a natural answer to the question “which post do I want to edit?” (oh yeah, this one!) Clicking the comment author is not intuitive. You don’t want to edit the comment author, you want to edit the comment. The comment author is often not unique, and doesn’t really work as a “handle” for an individual comment.
I’ve started an Idea in the WordPress Idea forum that suggests we revert to having an “Edit” action link for comments. Go add your two cents there (and then come back here for more discussion).

Asides from having one of the simplest looking websites on the net, Yougler is a newly launched service which aims to provide bloggers the ability to establish a professional looking profile along with other perks. Using Yougler which is pronounced (Yoo-Guh-Ler) users can create profiles that bloggers can link to for spam free contact information. One of the long standing problems that bloggers have faced is the way in which end user’s can communicate with the blog author. Usually, this would consist of typing out your email address as so ( blabla at blabla.com). Replacing @ with at was a very inexpensive way of defeating the spam bots which would scrape the content of websites looking for printed email addresses but this method creates a few caveats. The first, user’s need to manually type out your email address which is far less convenient than clicking a link. The second, the look of the email address doesn’t look very professional.
\n
Creating A Profile
\n
There are two types of profiles you can create. The White Pages Profile is for those who want a presence on the Internet, more or less to be found within search results. The other is the Blog or Blogger Profile which is tailored specifically for blogs or bloggers. This is the profile you would want to use if you want an easy way for your readers to contact you which I’ll explain in a minute.
\n
For the purpose of this article, we’ll focus on the blogger profile.
\n
\n
After typing in your information, you’ll be greeted with a CAPTCHA image which is used to prevent automated bots from creating Yougler accounts. I’m sure those profiles would be rather interesting to see. After the CAPTCHA process is complete, Yougler sends you a confirmation email which you’ll have to confirm in order to activate your account. Once your account is activated, it’s time to download and then install the Yougler WordPress Plugin.
\n
The WordPress Plugin
\n
The plugin provides an easy way to provide a contact link which is attached to the top of a post and then at the bottom of the post. The link forwards people to your Yougler Profile Page where readers can get a gist as to who you are via your profile and then, send mail-forwarded mail. Providing a means of communication in this way is supposed to keep communication between the blog author and his or her readers easy while at the same time, blocking unwanted spam.
\n
Installing the plugin:
\n\n
Download the Yougler plugin to your desktop. Upload the entire Yougler plugin folder to your WordPress plugins directory under wp-content/plugins/.
\n
Activate your plugin under the WordPress Plugins tab.
\n
Click options, click Yougler, set “add signature and Yougler link at end of post to yes.” Enter whatever signature you would like to add to the end of your posts in the box provided or you may leave this blank. Click update and you are done.
\n
The Yougler Plugin will now create a link to your Yougler Profile page at the end of all your posts. The link name will be your “Display name publicly as:” setting under the User’s tab in WordPress. Yougler will display the author’s name and url on each post so if a blog has multiple bloggers this should not be an issue.Your Yougler page will provide a form mail page for your readers to contact you. On your Yougler page you can also tell your readers a little about yourself or your blog. You can also add a picture (and maybe some more things in the future).
\n\n
Here is a screenshot that showcases a Yougler configured plugin in WordPress. Click the image to see the full size.
\n
\n
After the plugin is configured, each post will contain a link to your Yougler Profile page at the end of your posts. The link name will be your “Publicly displayed as name” which is configured under the User’s tab in WordPress. Your Yougler page contains an avatar, a small bio section and a form for people to contact you. Aside from that, readers can insert their own Yougler Profile URLS in their comments so others can contact them as well without worrying about spam.
\n
\n
Yougler is free at the moment and it looks like it will continue to be free. The site/service is still in it’s early stages of development which is why Pete is taking comments and suggestions via his own profile link Yougler.com/pete.
\n
Overall, I think what Yougler is doing is a novel idea. However, as far as the spam communication goes, I think the same affect could be accomplished by publishing your email address in the form of a picture that when clicked on, opens up your preferred email client. Also worthy of noting is that, if you were to browse someones About Me page on their blog and that page had a contact me button or form on that page, would there then be any reason for you to use this service?
\n
I think the true strength of this service is for multi author blogs where the about me section is usually limited to the information about the blogging network or the domain and not the actual blogging authors.
\n
If you happen to use this service, I’d be very interested in knowing what your experience is like. I’d also like to know how you have implemented this service into your blog/blogs.

The details of the blogger and content in question is a bit vague, but this is not the first time, nor the last, that international courts have made a sweeping judgment against WordPress.com due to the actions of an individual blogger. This ban blocks not only blogs in that language, but all WordPress.com blogs, which is currently approaching 3 million.
\n
There are two issues I want to address:
\n\n
What responsibility does WordPress.com have towards its banned blogs and the international courts?
\n
Why aren’t more bloggers talking about blogs and bloggers being banned?
\n\n
I’d love to say a lot more about how senseless such legal rulings are, but let’s address the issue of common sense and responsibility. \n
By providing the Brazilian Court with a technical report and knowledge support about the best way to handle the blocking order of this specific blog, without compromising the access to wordpress.com.
\n
The other two requests by the author are to provide enough time for the blog owner to respond and defend their rights, and to provide the information on the issue to the blogosphere so the public can have their say. I argue both from a business perspective.
\n
I agree bloggers should have the right, and time, to defend themselves, which WordPress.com staff does provide, as long as the issue is between WordPress.com and the blogger directly, and/or another blogger. For instance, if a WordPress.com bloggers is found to be violating copyrights by plagiarizing content or violating the WordPress.com Terms of Service with advertising, they are often warned several times before the content, and/or the blog, is shut down. When possible, WordPress.com bloggers are given every chance to make appropriate changes, but if you are blatantly doing wrong, they have a fast trigger finger on the Delete Blog button, which is why WordPress.com continues to get the highest ratings and honors as a clean, splog-free blog service.
\n
When it comes to legal decisions, WordPress.com must respond accordingly - though they do often work with the blogger in question to handle the issue on their blog - again, when possible and within the scope of their responsibilities.
\n
The place for bloggers to defend themselves is in court.
\n
WordPress.com offers a free platform for people to have their say, but they cannot be held responsible for all the rules in the world that dictate what form that “say” should be in, as that form often conflicts directly with the rules somewhere else in the world. To be the legal arbitrator, or even to be a part of deciding whose rule is right, is way beyond the scope of services like WordPress.com, Blogger, and other free blog hosting services. The author of the content is responsible for their content, and should be tried, held responsible, and punished accordingly.
\n
Should WordPress.com be responsible for establishing a “court of public opinion” for WordPress.com bloggers? Their free blog hosting services does that inherently, but to showcase specific issues is also beyond the scope of WordPress.com, in my opinion.
\n
By publishing such information for public dissemination, WordPress.com becomes responsible for that content. If not written very carefully, with lawyers standing behind the author to take care nothing biased, accusatory, or risky is said, such content can become liable rather than responsible. The grassroots resistance of public opinion happens on the blogs, not with the blog hosts. I believe it should remain with the people.
\n
I believe that WordPress.com should only be liable for the amount you pay to blog on WordPress.com. From a business perspective, that’s common sense.
\n
However, I believe that WordPress.com should continue to stick to its high moral standards for running a clean blog hosting site and take responsibility for helping individual blogs in these cases. Whether they agree or not with the courts ruling, WordPress.com must provide information to the courts on how to block individual and specific WordPress.com blogs. This allows the ruling to target the accused and not penalized a huge community of bloggers - in any language.
\n
What Happened to Our Enthusiasm for Protecting Freedom of Speech?
\n
I think bloggers around the world have become apathetic. Lazy. Uninspired. Dumbed down. Honestly. When the term echo chamber was coined, it was a good label for all the regurgitation of content spread all over the web, drowning individual voices. Self-interest blogging is pervasive. What happened to altruism and using the blog publishing platform to support freedom of speech and bloggers around the world?
\n
What happened to us? Why am I not seeing protests and opinions on this issue all over the web? Why isn’t the banning of three million WordPress.com blogs a big deal? Why aren’t we talking about this instead of the latest iPhone gizmo and useless SEO techniques? Why didn’t people get angry and protest loudly when WordPress.com blogs were banned in Turkey, China, and other countries? WordPress.com continues to be banned in places - why aren’t we talking about this?
\n
Have we really become desensitized to the plight of other bloggers and the oppression of freedom of speech?
\n
We need to find our indignant righteousness again, fellow bloggers. We need to make our voices matter. Three voices should not have to shout to be heard on behalf of millions of bloggers. I want my WordPress.com blog to be read by those in Brazil, Turkey, China, and everywhere in the world. Don’t you? Why should my blog be penalized because of the actions of one?
\n
People are asking Automattic to take a stand. I’m asking bloggers around the world to take a stand and let their voices be heard when others can’t.
\n
Let not millions of bloggers be blocked and banned for the sake of a couple of idiots. You don’t send an entire city’s population to jail because two people break the law. Maybe the world would be a better place if we did, but that’s another discussion.

“Otto” on the wp-hackers mailing list brought up the tried and true “hidden form field” solution for comment spam, remarking on how well it worked for him. It didn’t take long for people to point him to Pilgrim’s entry and tell him that if it were implemented in WordPress core (or even as a popular plugin), it would cease to be effective. The exchange reminded me of a “P.S.” to Pilgrim’s entry that I’ve been throwing around in my head:
\n
Club solutions can be fairly effective if your Club is different from everyone else’s Club, and is constantly changing.
\n
So hooray for Club makers. They have what it takes to put a huge dent in their comment spam. But what about everyone else, who doesn’t have the technical knowhow to invent a new Club every couple of weeks? We need a shape-shifting Club.
\n
Andy Skelton told me about his shape-shifting Club at SXSW:
\n
\n
Who is “Milton?” You’ll have to read the post to find out. So, essentially, for each post, he’s defining a unique question, and a unique answer. He said that besides the anti-spam benefit, it also has the potential to weed out stupid commenters, or lazy commenters who didn’t read the whole article (he often makes the questions about something in the article). The downside is that he has to craft a new question/answer for each post.
\n
So this is a good example of a shape-shifting Club that doesn’t require technical expertise. But what would be better is a Club that could shape-shift without user intervention, or at least with less user intervention. It would also have to shape-shift in a way that spammers couldn’t predict. Start thinking.

Speckyboy has created a list of the top 10 security plugins to use with WordPress. The plugins range from AskApache Password Protect to WP Security scan. When asked about security at WordCamp Dallas, Matt Mullenweg responded by saying “The best thing you could do to make sure your blog is secure is to stay up to date with the latest stable versions of WordPress.” Using strong passwords for your administrator account along with not using the default admin account that is created during a WordPress install are also good practices.

WP Page Numbers uses numbers which makes it easier for users to choose what page to go to instead of the regular Next and Previous links. There are five themes to choose from and an option to create your own themes to display the page numbers.
A plugin based on the WP2.5 media gallery DivvaFlip allows you to flip your pages using AJAX. It works in harmony with your native media WordPress galleries or with your Nextgen gallery.\n
SmartAds is a plugin that let’s you automatically, yet intelligently place Adsense ads into your posts. Some features include showing ads above and below post content automatically, limiting ad visibility by post word count and more.

Jeremiah Grossman posted some good slides about the issue of Cross-Site Request Forgeries (CSRF). We tackled this security issue in WordPress two years ago. I wrote an article about the issue that still holds true (plugin authors should definitely give it a read if any of this sounds unfamiliar). Our method is the token method, with fallback to a slightly modified version of the Are You Sure? method for plugins that haven’t properly implemented the token method. It was a large effort to implement it, but it has paid off handsomely. CSRF is largely a non-issue in WordPress, which means we can focus our efforts on XSS and SQL injection vectors.

Since people are asking, this so-called alert on Security Focus appears to be completely false and has no information that an attacker or the WordPress developers could use. It is completely content-free, except for making claims that every version of WP since 2.0 is vulnerable.
\n
Online, apparently, it’s fine for someone to run into a crowded theatre and yell “fire” and the less basis there is in fact the more people link to them. It’s not uncommon to see crying-wolf reports like the above several times in a week, and a big part of what the WP security team is sifting through things to see what’s valid or not.
\n
A valid security report looks like this, it usually includes sample code and a detailed description of the problem. The WP security team was notified of the KSES problem and it was fixed in 2.5. You can impress your friends by saying whether a security report is valid or not, so it’s a good critical facility to pick up.
\n
All that said, there is a wave of attacks going around targeting old WordPress blogs, particularly those on the 2.1 or 2.2 branch. They’re exploiting problems that have been fixed for a year or more. This typically manifests itself through hidden spam being put on your site, either in the post or in a directory, and people notice when they get dropped from Google. (Google will drop your site if it contains links they consider spammy, you’ll remember this is one of the main reasons I came out against sponsored themes.) Google has some guidelines as well, what to do if your site is hacked. If I were to suggest WordPress-specific ones, I would say:
\n
\n\n
Upgrade your blog to the latest WP. This shouldn’t be hard. There are plugins for it, if you’re techy use Subversion, there is the standard FTP method, and finally Media Temple, Dreamhost, and Bluehost (through SimpleScripts) all have been pretty good about having their one-click upgrade systems ready with new versions within a day or two of a release. If your host is chronically behind, vote with your wallet and switch.\n
\n
If you need someone to help you upgrade, consider hiring help on the wp-pro mailing list. (It has close to a thousand subscribers and consultants on it.) Or you could always ply a geeky friend with caffeine, libations, food, or gadgets. Just get them to setup a system lik the above so you can do it yourself next time.
\n
\n
\n
Change your passwords, for yourself and any other users you have on the system. If the attacker grabbed your password when you were on an old version, they can still log in after you’ve upgraded if you don’t change it. There’s a new password strength meter in 2.5 helps you pick a good password.
\n
Search through your posts for any that might have been modified, and comb through the directories on your web server looking for anything out of the ordinary. Your host may be able to help you with the latter.
\n\n
If you’re on the latest version, you’ve changed all your passwords, and something still happens to your blog, don’t panic. It’s not your (or WP’s) fault, but there is likely another account on the server which is malicious and the server you’re on is set up in a way that your neighbors can modify your files. The best thing to do here is to contact your host or sysadmin and have them check things out. They can look at the other accounts and log files in a forensic fashion to identify and find the source.
\n
I follow or am involved with many, many WordPress blogs - some that receive millions of pageviews a day and have pageranks of 8 or 9 and are huge targets all the way to small personal blogs. Those that have followed the two basic tenets — keep up with upgrades and use good passwords — have never had a problem. Those that fall behind upgrades, like Al Gore did, have.
\n
If you’re tech-savvy, take a look through your blogroll and see if anyone is on an old version. If they are, consider contacting them to help out. Like a barn raising, if we all work together it’ll happen a lot faster.
\n
I often hear reasons why people don’t want to upgrade, here’s the most common and my best response:
\n
\n
I’m scared something will break, or I don’t know how. Ask a friend to help or hire a professional on the aforementioned wp-pro list. Long-term, try to use a plugin like WPAU or a host that will do upgrades.
\n
One of my plugins doesn’t work with the new version. This is getting rarer as we have a very public testing cycle for plugin authors to try their stuff with the latest version, but still common. I would suggest checking for an upgrade to the plugin on the author’s site, contacting the author about the incompatibility you found, maybe even donate some money, or finally search for an alternative plugin that provides similar functionality but works with the latest and greatest version of WordPress. In the big picture, though, having a secure site is much more important than the functionality of a single plugin, so you should seriously consider turning off a plugin for a few days instead of putting off core upgrades.
\n
I don’t like the new version, they moved my cheese. We believe every new release is better, but sometimes people just aren’t comfortable with a change, which is fine. The good news is that we constantly improve things based on feedback, including interfaces, and that more importantly for almost everything you can imagine annoying you there is a plugin that changes it. For example in 2.5 the page is fixed-width to allow for greater readability, but there’s a plugin to make it stretch to the full width of the window.
\n
I modified core files, so upgrades are hard. You should never ever modify core files in WP. If you find you have to, file a ticket for a new hook or filter so your modifications can be a plugin — it makes things so much easier.
\n
Upgrades are too frequent. If it takes you more than 5 minutes to upgrade your blog, you’re doing it wrong. Historically we do a major release about 3 times a year, and a minor release about once a month. Minor releases almost never break anything, so they are the easiest. (And often the most important.) WordPress is fast-evolving software, so this is a good problem to have.
\n
I don’t know when there’s an upgrade. No excuses here. Since 2.3 we include a big honking notice at the top of your dashboard when there’s a new release available. It’s also worth subscribing to our dev blog, it’s not like it’s going to flood your RSS reader.
\n
\n
Of course the millions of blogs on WordPress.com never worry about any of this, nor do the folks on good hosts that have one-click upgrades. The WP community takes security very seriously and has always done its best to respond diligently to any known problems, but all that work is for naught if you don’t upgrade. Hosting an application yourself is a responsibility. In the future we’re hoping to make this whole thing easier, for example with built-in functionality like WPAU. Until that day though, I hope the above helps. Feel free to copy, republish, or steal this post in whole or part for whatever you like.

Video Summary:Absolute Comments is a major improvement over the WordPress 2.5 Comments Panel. The plugin allows you to reply to comments easily without having to visit a post. The plugin also allows you to view all comments for a particular post. An immense timesaver.
\n
Pros: Major improvement over the existing WordPress 2.5 comments panel. The plugin makes it easy to reply to comments.
\n
Cons: None, although it would be nice if there was a way to change the default reply text (or have several options) in the admin-panel without having to edit the plugin’s code.
\n
If you think your WordPress plugin will merit itself to a video review, please get in contact with me via e-mail (ronalfy+wltc @ gmail dot com). Please keep in mind I will not review premium plugins.

One question I come across a lot regarding custom fields is how to only retrieve posts based on a custom field.
\n
For example, if a post has a custom field of “MyData”, someone might want to only retrieve that particular post.
The technique in the Codex is good, but I’ve found a re-usable way one can retrieve only posts with certain custom fields.
\n
The technique I use makes use of two custom functions placed in a theme’s “functions.php” and a custom WordPress Loop.
\n
Let’s get started — The “functions.php” file
\n
First, let’s place the two custom functions in the “functions.php” file. This file should be in your theme directory, but if it isn’t there, you can create one using any text editor.
\n
Here are the two functions below:
\n
\n
\nfunction get_custom_field_posts_join($join) {\n global $wpdb, $customFields;\n return $join . " JOIN $wpdb->postmeta postmeta ON (postmeta.post_id = $wpdb->posts.ID and postmeta.meta_key in ($customFields)) ";\n}\nfunction get_custom_field_posts_group($group) {\n global $wpdb;\n $group .= " $wpdb->posts.ID ";\n return $group;\n}\n
\n
\n
The function “get_custom_field_posts_join” makes use of an advanced WordPress filter called “posts_join“. Each time posts are called, you can add on extra MySQL parameters using filters. In this case, I add on an option to find certain postmeta. Please note the use of a global variable called “customFields“, which I’ll explain a bit later.
\n
The function “get_custom_field_posts_group” makes use of another advanced WordPress filter called “posts_group“. This is used to avoid duplicate entries in our return query.
\n
Now Let’s Work on Our Loop
\n
After the two functions are placed in the “functions.php” file, it’s time to work on placing the appropriate code into one of our template files.
\n
For this example, I’ll be modifying the “sidebar.php” file in the WordPress default theme. You could place the below code in any of your theme files, however.
\n
\n
\n<?php /* Begin Custom Field Posts */ ?>\n<h2>Custom Posts</h2>\n<ul>\n<?php\nglobal $customFields;\n$customFields = "''Links'', ''MyData''"; //Comma seperated ''s1'', ''s2'', ''s3''\n
\n
\n
The first part of the code deals with establishing the structure of the output. You really could do anything you want here.
\n
Please note the use of the global variable “customFields“. What we’re doing here is setting up a comma-separated variable that will be used to search for our custom fields. The “customFields” variable is used in the “get_custom_field_posts_join” function.
\n
In this example, it is assumed we want to find posts with custom fields of “Links” and “MyData“.
\n
Custom Fields - Links and MyData
\n
The next bit of code instantiates a new instance of WP_Query and runs a query to return some posts.
\n
\n
\n$customPosts = new WP_Query();\nadd_filter(''posts_join'', ''get_custom_field_posts_join'');\nadd_filter(''posts_groupby'', ''get_custom_field_posts_group'');\n$customPosts->query(''showposts=5'' );//Uses same parameters as query_posts\nremove_filter(''posts_join'', ''get_custom_field_posts_join'');\nremove_filter(''posts_groupby'', ''get_custom_field_posts_group'');\n
\n
\n
Note the use of the “add_filter” and “remove_filter” functions. Since we are doing a post query, we can tap into the query and add our own parameters. So before the query is initiated, two query-type filters are added, and after the query is initiated, the two filters are deactivated since we only want them run once.
\n
This last bit of code initiates our custom loop, gets the custom values, spits them out, and ends the loop.
The “get_post_custom_values” WordPress function returns an array of matching keys. It’s assumed there is only one key per post, which is why we echo out the first value (Ex: echo $links[0]).
\n
The Full Post Code
\n
Here is the full post code. The only thing you need to change for your own use is the custom fields needed (change the customFields text) and what type of output is desired within our custom loop.
\n
\n
\n<?php /* Begin Custom Field Posts */ ?>\n<h2>Custom Posts</h2>\n<ul>\n<?php\nglobal $customFields;\n$customFields = "''Links'', ''MyData''"; //Comma seperated ''s1'', ''s2'', ''s3''\n$customPosts = new WP_Query();\nadd_filter(''posts_join'', ''get_custom_field_posts_join'');\nadd_filter(''posts_groupby'', ''get_custom_field_posts_group'');\n$customPosts->query(''showposts=5'' );//Uses same parameters as query_posts\nremove_filter(''posts_join'', ''get_custom_field_posts_join'');\nremove_filter(''posts_groupby'', ''get_custom_field_posts_group'');\nwhile ($customPosts->have_posts()) : $customPosts->the_post();\n$links = get_post_custom_values("Links");\n$data = get_post_custom_values("MyData");\n?>\n<li><a href=''<?php echo $links[0]; ?>''><?php echo $data[0]; ?></a></li>\n<?php endwhile; ?>\n</ul>\n<?php /* End Custom Field Posts */ ?>\n
\n
\n
Custom Field Output
\n
Downloadable Code
\n
The full code mentioned in this post is available for download. Within the “zip” file are a sample “functions.php” and “sidebar.php“.

So before the query is initiated, two query-type filters are added, and after the query is initiated, the two filters are deactivated since we only want them run once.
\n
This last bit of code initiates our custom loop, gets the custom values, spits them out, and ends the loop.
The “get_post_custom_values” WordPress function returns an array of matching keys. It’s assumed there is only one key per post, which is why we echo out the first value (Ex: echo $links[0]).
\n
The Full Post Code
\n
Here is the full post code. The only thing you need to change for your own use is the custom fields needed (change the customFields text) and what type of output is desired within our custom loop.
\n
\n
\n<?php /* Begin Custom Field Posts */ ?>\n<h2>Custom Posts</h2>\n<ul>\n<?php\nglobal $customFields;\n$customFields = "''Links'', ''MyData''"; //Comma seperated ''s1'', ''s2'', ''s3''\n$customPosts = new WP_Query();\nadd_filter(''posts_join'', ''get_custom_field_posts_join'');\nadd_filter(''posts_groupby'', ''get_custom_field_posts_group'');\n$customPosts->query(''showposts=5'' );//Uses same parameters as query_posts\nremove_filter(''posts_join'', ''get_custom_field_posts_join'');\nremove_filter(''posts_groupby'', ''get_custom_field_posts_group'');\nwhile ($customPosts->have_posts()) : $customPosts->the_post();\n$links = get_post_custom_values("Links");\n$data = get_post_custom_values("MyData");\n?>\n<li><a href=''<?php echo $links[0]; ?>''><?php echo $data[0]; ?></a></li>\n<?php endwhile; ?>\n</ul>\n<?php /* End Custom Field Posts */ ?>\n

Downloadable Code

The full code mentioned in this post is available for download. Within the “zip” file are a sample “functions.php” and “sidebar.php“.
I’ve got a new version of Twitter Tools ready (I think) for testing. This version adds a number of often requested features and other enhancements:
\n
\n
Show a link to the tweet being replied to for @replies.
\n
Option to exclude @replies from the sidebar tweets list.
\n
Make all @usernames clickable.
\n
Check that the tweets downloaded are indeed the user’s tweets - sometimes Twitter has hiccups.
\n
Don’t broadcast edits to old posts. Note: Twitter Tools always included code to only broadcast a post once. However edits to posts created before Twitter Tools was installed would be sent to Twitter because there is no “only when a post is first published” hook (that I’m aware of) in WordPress. Now a timestamp is saved upon installation to try to work around this.
\n
Ability to send blog posts to Twitter on a per-post basis (checkbox added to post authoring screen).
\n
Option to use jQuery instead of Prototype - useful if you like to tweet from your sidebar. The jQuery library is a smaller download than Prototype.
\n
Added post author setting.
\n
Added post tags setting.
\n
Added an option to make digest posts display tweets in either chronological or reverse-chronological order.
\n
Make URLs clickable in blog posts created from tweets and digest posts.
\n
\n
Note: after you install this version of Twitter Tools, you’ll need to go in and update your settings to take advantage of these new features - until you do, things will not work properly.
\n
As you can see, there are many changes in this version, so I’m releasing this as a beta instead of a stable version. I’ve done about 5-6 hours of testing on it and I’m using it here, so I obviously think it’s probably safe for production, but it has not been widely tested… if I had to bet, I’d say there are still a few things still to be discovered. You’ve been warned.

The people over at Viddler have released a new plugin compatible with WordPress 2.5. The plugin is at version 1.1 Beta 1 and is still undergoing testing. Here are a few things you can expect from this new plugin:
\n
\n
Dashboard widget You can now watch, and help promote, our daily featured videos right from within the Wordpress administration dashboard. There is a preference in the options panel to turn this off.
\n
Viddler videos in Add Media pop-up One of Wordpress 2.5’s flagship features is the new “Add media” pop-up window when writing posts and pages. Now, you can add Viddler videos in several ways.
\n
Featured videos Like on the dashboard widget, you are now able to embed featured videos quickly.
\n
Your videos One quick search for your username, and you can page through every public video you have on Viddler and embed them in your posts.
\n
SearchThe search features lets you find, and embed, any video on Viddler by searching by tag and/or username.
\n
Record Using your webcam, or any camera attached to your computer, you can use Viddler’s recorder to quickly record a brand-new video and embed it in your post, all without leaving your Wordpress admin.
\n
Fixed Wordpress 2.5 jQuery conflict Both our plugin and Wordpress use jQuery, the state-of-the-art Javascript framework, and version 1.0 of our plugin causes conflicts with Wordpress 2.5. Now that is fixed!
\n
\n
Last but not least, a video showcasing the new version in action.
\n\n
You can download the latest version of the Viddler plugin from their Wiki Developers page.

When you use query_posts, however, you risk the following:
\n
\n
Potential to interfere with plugins which make use of the Loop.
\n
Potential to invalidate WordPress conditional tags.
\n
Having to deal with resetting, rewinding, offsetting…
\n
\n
I say skip query_posts. In a way you’ll still be using it, but the better (and sometimes easier) technique is to instantiate your own WP_Query object and create your own loop.
\n
Creating Your Own Loop With WP_Query
\n
The first step is to instantiate your own variable using the WP_Query class.
\n
What we’ll be doing in this example is creating a common feature on blogs, which is to display a list of the recent articles.
\n
\n
\n<?php\n $recentPosts = new WP_Query();\n $recentPosts->query(''showposts=5'');\n?>\n
\n
\n
All I’ve done in the above code is defined a variable named recentPosts and instantiated an instance of WP_Query.
\n
I then used a method of WP_Query to start a query (pretty much the same thing as using query_posts). You even use the same usage parameters as query_posts.
\n
Now it’s time to start our own loop:
\n
\n
\n<?php while ($recentPosts->have_posts()) : $recentPosts->the_post(); ?>\n <!-- do some stuff here -->\n<?php endwhile; ?>\n
\n
\n
Notice the use of the recentPosts variable to start the loop. We utilize two methods of WP_Query, which is have_posts and the_post. You can read more about those two methods on my article Global Variables and the WordPress Loop.
\n
The beauty of this is that once you are inside your own loop, you can use the standard post tags.
\n
The Full Code
\n
Here’s the full code for showing the last five recent posts using your own loop:
it will automatically page the wury based on the page number passed \nthrough the url eg "/page/4"
\n
However, this doesn''t work with the “post_nav_link” function because it \nonly checks the $wp_query variable. To get around this you have to \ntrick the function by switching $wp_query on it. Add the first block \nbefore your custom loop and the second after to achieve this effect.
\n
\n
<?php //query_posts(''paged=''.$paged);\n$temp = $wp_query;\n$wp_query= null;\n $wp_query = new WP_Query();\n $wp_query->query(''showposts=5''.''&paged=''.$paged);\n?>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n<?php $wp_query = null; $wp_query = $temp;?>\n
\n
\n
Thanks Aaron for the contribution.
\n
Conclusion
\n
Defining your own loop using WP_Query is an easy way to run your own custom queries without interfering with the default Loop. It’s also a great way to run multiple loops that are completely independent of each other.

Almost everything I do is on my Mac, transferred to a portable hard drive and an online backup service for backup. The only thing I use my desktop for is a secondary backup download of my email.I understand that gamers, Mac people with high graphics needs, office mega purchases are all desktop intensive but are these turning into niche markets?\r\n\r\nI was looking at the Best Buy insert in today''s Dallas Morning News as I do every Sunday scanning for new gadgets and such on the market.

There are many reasons, the drop in the costs of storage, processors etc. Everything is commoditized. When a manufacturing component is commoditized, prices tend to drop drastically. Is it also that desktops for consumer use are also going the way of the CD? Are desktops in themselves becoming "commoditized "You would think these cheap prices with great features would drive people to desktop purchases. Three years ago you would see a 4 to one ratio desktop to laptop for sale in electronics inserts, now it is the other way around....I had a specific "niche" need for one, it would never even occur to me to consider a desktop for my next P.C. purchase.

Once again, the premise that attorneys have no sense of humor is proven. This time by a Houston attorney named, Mark Bennett who took some shots at me in his Criminal Defense Blog. It is ironic that I would argue that failure to service and/or communicate with the client is the most excusable in the criminal defense arena where it is about immediate results against huge consequences for a bad one…. If Mark gets me off on a murder rap, I certainly would overlook no returned calls…..
I must have really struck a nerve down there with my “I DON’T GIVE A SHIT BLOG or maybe it was my criticism of Rusty Hardin. Other than my comments about Rusty, (which I am sure he read and was traumatized to no end) I went back and looked at the ‘SHIT BLOG”. Maybe I was off base and should clarify, quantify, rectify and every other “fy” out there…….It really does not matter does it…? I am sure that other than obviously making Mr. Bennett uncomfortable, my little read thoughts will not have much effect on the state of attorney-client service in the State of Texas
I however I frankly think I am in a better position to opine on the subject than the Mark Bennetts of the world…. Why do you say? I say this because I can be more objective in that I am not beholding to any special interests…… What special interests do you ask? The largest legal special interest out there that 90 percent of attorney’s rely on to get their business…….. Other attorneys.
There is a warm blanket of honesty attached with not needing referral business as I am sure Mr. Bennett does……
Time to go get my bicycle hose out of the closet. Need to “self’ inflate” my reputation value….. I have no doubt Mr. Bennett uses one of those electric heavy duty ones to deal with his ego……
(WASHINGTON) CNN has learned that President George W. Bush has will soon announce what he terms a “historic news conference” of what his press secretary terms an announcement of unprecedented scientific and political significance. While the administration has been tightlipped on any further details, CNN has been able to obtain certain key details which are admittedly both stunning in frightening in their national and world significance. CNN has learned that an announcement will be made that the question of whether we are alone in the universe may have been answered and in this answer is a significant national and world security threat. President Bush is considering a complete recall of the National Guard from the Middle East as well as reinstating the draft to deal with this threat.
\r\n
It appears that for the past 3 years there have been breaches of United States airspace by extra-terrestrial crafts which have deposited millions of undetected “pods” hidden in rural farm fields and uninhabited terrain in both the United States, Canada. It appears that after a three week “gestation” period, these pods have hatched humanoid creatures which the Bush administration as termed “OBOMAROIDS”……….
\r\n
CNN has learned that these “OBAMAROIDS” when fully developed appear completely human to the naked eye and communicate both verbally, telepathically and have mind control capabilities. The presence of these OBAMAROIDS was first detected through a mysterious signal that seemed to be emanating from all OBAMA GIRLSon YouTube. A team of decryption specialists at MIT has been able to determine that the source of the signal is a previously undetected satellite of unknown origin orbiting the earth. While the meaning of much of the signal is still unknown, it has been determined that part of the signals transmits the message “OBAMA RULES……… “It has also been determining though brain scans that there is a definite mind control component to the signal. It is unknown how long this signals has been transmitted and how many people have been infected by it………
\r\n
CNN has also learned that THE OBAMA GIRLS have been detained by the FBI and are being held in a specially fortified holding cell in Guantanamo Bay. This cell is designed to prevent any type of signals going in or out…..
\r\nScientists from all over the world have alleged come together in a secret location at AREA 51 in New Mexico to hopefully determine the extent of the invasion and whether the signal has affected the internet…… \r\n
CNN has also learned that specially designed sunglasses are being developed that would be able to spot these OBAMAROIDS in their alien form. One MIT scientists speaking anonymously due to national security concerns stated when seen in their alien form , these OBMAROIDS where ugly, "lizard like" creatures......

(CNN)The mayor of Tampa Florida has officially notifiedthe International Olympic Committeethat they will be submitting a formal proposal for new sport to be included at the2012 Summer Olympics in London. When asked for comment, city officials stated that they hoped their new sport would be included in future games for generations to come. They however were mum on the specifics as the formal proposal had not been submitted.CNN investigative reporters however were able to get a copy of the proposal. We have learned that the new sport is called the “quad dump”.

Not too long ago I took a deep breath and wrote the blog, My Year in Alcoholics Anonymous.The Blog talked about my thoughts and experience regarding my first year in the program and how I got there. My thought in writing it was the if even one person read the blog and it was the “tipping point” in that person going into the program and changing his/her life for the better, it was worth outing myself.
\r\n
Outing myself was really not a big deal to me.I am not going to be ashamed of what has worked so well for me for the last year.Most people around me knew I was in the program regardless.I am also the perfect candidate to out myself if it will help others.I work for my brother, Mark Cuban and he is aware of and 100 percent supportive of my being in the program as is my girlfriend and the rest of my family.If anyone has seen the positive changes in me, it is them. I have no worries about uncomfortable people distancing from me or talking behind my back.Move away and talk away.Those that are left are the people worth hanging with…..
\r\n
There are those who may say that the fact that I am writing this means I am defensive about it.I always love when people try to tell me how I feel…….
\r\n
Everyone has heard the saying “My name is _______ and I am an alcoholic "It has become a punch line for many a joke . That is how anyone who “shares” opens in an AA meeting.There is an occasional person who will “out themselves” in a meeting by giving his/her last name.It drivers other in the group crazy.I only give my first name when I share, not because I care who knows who I am but because it is a support group.One of the key factors in the effectiveness of any support group is the other members being comfortable and secure in sharing their, experience strength and hope in their life…….If one person decides he/she is not comfortable sharing or does not come back because people were not remaining anonymous in a group meeting I don’t see any positive in that….
\r\n
With regards to the above, I took criticism from those in the program for outing myself in my blog.It’s supposed to be anonymous right?Sure Is.I will never out you if you are in the program…. You are completely anonymous……I however take issue with anyone who tells me I don’t have the right or obligation to use my own experiences outside of the support group to help others in the manner I choose to use it.I am aware that the AA bible, the AA Big Book has a different take on it. It is a great book for Alcoholics to read and has a lot of great advice. My life however is not an outline in a book…. I am also aware that the "11th Tradition" discourages outing yourself.....
\r\n
Life is about personal choices both good and bad based on the best available information at the time. Outing myself was mine….Part of Alcoholics Anonymousis about reaching out to those who need help in the manner you can best achieving that.It is not a secret handshake society……
\r\n
Based on my review of my Digg and blog commentary, this appeared to be a good subject to first address.As I go through the commentary I will address others. There are some things about it that I reject and find counter-productive to my personal sobriety. I drive others in the program crazy because I do reject aspects of the program as not helpful to my sobriety.Being an attorney and not being a very spiritual person, it tends to go against everything that makes me Brian to take something completely on faith. I need to see all the data and come to my own conclusions.
\r\n
I can however give you undeniable facts.Since I entered the program a year ago, I stopped, drinking, completely changed my lifestyle and have moved forward leap years in my personal and professional development.These changes in my life are un-deniable to me or those around me. While I can’t go back in time I am very comfortable in stating that these changes outlined in the My Year in Alcoholics Anonymous would not have occurred had I not entered the program.I believe the only people who would think I have changed for the worse since I went into the program are the ones who are no longer getting the benefit of free drinks, tables and no wait in lines at clubs…..I can live with that….
\r\n
When I put up the My Year in Alcoholics Anonymous Blog on my site and on Digg, the response was incredibly varied by those both in and out of the program.I could write a year of blogs just addressing the commentary.There was everything from well thought out commentary to statements of sheer ignorance. That’s ok though.I have made enough statements out of sheer ignorance in my lifetime. Many of them have gone up on my blog for all to see.I have no problem with that… Why?What is the only way to get “de-ignorated”…….It is to make your ignorant position known and get lambasted and educated.It is all part of growing up which is a lifelong process for me…..I have no doubt I will receive many comments and emails from AA members quoting the Big Book and attempting to “de-ignorate” me on why my outing myself is a bad thing.
\r\n
So here I stand a self-outed, happy and grateful member of AA.I think it was the right thing to do not only for me but for the quite a few people who have emailed me and asked about the program, where meetings are and if I would go to meetings with them….
So you think that Blu Ray has won the one and only battle it will fight with the victory against HD DVD? Think again.... Round 2 has not yet been fought. There will not be as much at stake as the the battle just fought but it will be fought just the same. How do I know this battle to be fought? It will be fought because there are more law students than lawyers in this country.
Nothing new here though. Without short sighted companies like Toshiba there would be no need for McDonalds coffee case taking Democrat plaintiff''s attorneys. The whole legal system would collapse......So let it be written.... So let it be done......

I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it! I have received numerous nasty emails from indignant attorneys irritated at my impugning the integrity of the legal profession in my “I Don’t Give A Shit Blog” The number of responses in itself is amazing. The last time I checked my stats, only about 30 people had been to the page.The bad word has always traveled faster than the good word….
\r\n
There was one particular response by criminal defense attorney Stephen Gustitus in his blog, The Defense Perspective: Client Communications. In the blog he states that I must not have many clients…. The logic of that was lost on me. Was he saying that he has so many clients that he doesn’t return their calls or god forbid “he doesn’t give a shit?” It would have made more sense if he had said I must not have many friends in the legal profession…..
\r\n
In any event, you are right Stephen. I don’t have many clients. I am like Tom Hagan, the character played by Robert Duvall in The Godfather…. Right before he gave that big shot Hollywood producer a “horse head nighty” he told him that he had a “special practice” where he only handled one client. I guess that is kind of like me. Hagan lived through all the Godfathers so I guess I will have a long career. That is not to say I am comparing my brother Mark Cuban to Michael Corelone. God forbid he would decide I was more like Fredo and have me whacked while I was floating in a giant rubber ducky in his swimming pool. Unlike Fredo however, I would not be saying any hail Marys since I am Jewish. I have no idea what the Jewish equivalent is
\r\n
My phone is ringing. It is probably my only client. I had better answer it before I have a VERY special practice of none.....

The world is all about our client until the bill is paid..... \r\n\r\nI can across a post on a very well respected legal marketing blog called Legal Marketing Blog.com. The title of the blog was "How Convenient is it for Clients and Prospects to Reach You?". The blog makes the common sense point that in pretty much any profession, the easier you are for your clients to access you the more goodwill you build resulting in greater client retention and referrals. Makes good sense right? Of course right!\r\n\r\nWhat I found humorous was the attempt to lay out these principals to the legal profession. The proposition that attorneys will read this and change the way they do business was very intriguing to me and contradictory to what every legal bone in my body tells me after 20 years. In fact, there is about as much chance of that as there is any validity to my untested theory that I can go backwards in time by putting my auto up on cylinder blocks and going in reverse at full speed...\r\n\r\nIt is a time tested and well accepted position that 98 percent of attorneys don''t give a shit about who can get a hold of them and for the most part actually go to great lengths to keep people from getting a hold of them unless of course the person is calling about their unpaid bill or the call will generate a substantial billable rate. If the call will not generate a fee you have as much chance of talking to the attorney as Johnny Cochrane rising from the dead. Client goodwill is something only mused about in terms of what you could have done after the client has told you to F*** off and/or files a grievance with the State Bar. Not that you will learn anything when you send the next client''s call to voicemail.\r\n\r\nThe golden rule from what I have seen is that a client is just a means to an end with no form substance or history unless a payment is late or a trial is about to start.... Other than that all phone calls are unnecessary time wasting annoyances. Client service is for sales people. We attorneys are not sales people; we are highly educated and skilled professionals who are above client service small talk. You come to us for results, dog us when we don''t get them and forget about us after we come through. Doesn''t this justify the fact that I don''t give a shit about you the client? Right? Of course right!\r\n\r\nI know solo and small firm attorney''s who have taken so many cases beyond their ability to provide client service that the only way you will get a hold of them is to impersonate a judge or an investigator from the State Bar of Texas. In my 20 years, there have been 4 times where I looked at a practice and predicted that an attorney would be sanctioned by the State Bar in some form within a few years. I was right each time. It was not rocket science in each case, the attorney absolutely did not give a shit about any of his clients other than getting a check. They avoided client calls, didn''t return calls, full voicemail''s etc etc. The " if" was easy. It was only a question of when.....\r\n\r\nLawyers at large firms often don''t give a shit about their client any more than small or solo firms but they are able to do better damage control because they have people they pay to give a shit and to tell them when they''re not giving a shit is about to cost them money such as more work from the client or the referral of a new client.\r\n\r\nSmall firm and solo attorneys lose out the worst because they they don''t give a shit to the same extent as big firm attorneys but they generally do not have any "I don''t give a shit" damage control procedures in place. They therefore don''t find out that the "I don''t give a shit" philosophy has cost them until they are fired. They also get hit with the double "I don''t give a shit" whammy when they are fired and the client bad mouths them. Obviously referrals are not forthcoming from pissed off clients....\r\n\r\nLarge firms generally have enough "I don''t give shit" buffers in place that the client may never realize that his/her attorney does not give a shit.\r\n\r\nIn my experience, do you know what the solo and small firm response to this problem is? You guessed it....\r\n\r\n"I don''t give a shit"\r\n\r\nAre there excellent kick-ass client service oriented attorneys out there at small firms and large? Of course there are. I know many. There are however also a ton of attorneys out there. In my experience the "I don''t give shits" far outnumber the "kick ass" and they are not reading legal marketing blogs... Why?

It is a very exclusive club of people who all share one common goal and for the purposes of this club this is all we talk about and all we care about. It is a club that changed the direction of my life, clarified my life and probably saved my life. I count the members of this club as my second family....\r\n\r\nWhy is it the most difficult club to get into? Because you have to have a desire to stop drinking. Why is it the easiest to get into to? Because the only requirement for membership is a simple desire to stop drinking. Quite the paradox....\r\n\r\nIronically if you would have asked me a year and a day ago if I would ever become a member of this club, I would have looked at you like you were from Mars. Why? I was not homeless. I didn''t live under a bridge. I had a job and my family loved me. To be a member of this club, I had always thought you had to be a homeless, unemployed, crack smoking bum pan handling people for money at the local intersection.\r\n\r\nI had a great job, great girlfriend, my family loved me, a famous last name that got me into clubs, restaurants broke the ice in conversations where I normally would have stood ignored in corner being incredibly shy.\r\n\r\nAlong with all this, I loved to go out with my buddies. I would tell you what bar or club was the place to be on any night of the week. I would go out at least 3 times a week. This meant I was drinking at least three times a week. This never seemed like any big deal to me because all my buddies were doing the same thing. I was having a great time. Never had to wait in line anywhere. Never had to stand anywhere. Everyone wanted to buy me drinks. Why shouldn''t I always have a drink in my hand........ There was no one to tell me that going out drinking that many times and sometimes more a week is not a good thing no matter how hold you are or how you slice it. Then again, why should anyone have to tell me this? I am a grown man right? Frankly if I looked at all the stupid decisions I have made in my life-80 percent of them started with one of those nights out.\r\n\r\nAgain, its seemed no big deal to me because everyone I hung out with was doing the same thing. Completely socially acceptable in my book as long as I never strayed from those circles.\r\n\r\nWas I an alcoholic? Well if I was than all my buddies where as well. I knew that wasn''t possible so it was all good. In further rationalization, I noted to myself that I had not been convicted of DWI, never been to rehab, was employed, nice home etc. I had only changed my phone number 5 times in the last year which to me was completely normal. When I had to, I simply adjusted my moral plane to account for all drunken embarrassing acts and mouth openings so that was all good. I also never drove drunk which to me was the primary indicator of an alcoholic. I either had a driver or took a cab. Of course this just allowed me to party even harder when I went out since I knew I was not driving. The logic of a true attorney....\r\n\r\nSo what traumatic event happened that caused me to finally walk through those AA doors? I had a blackout. I went out for one of my normal partying sessions and the next thing I knew it was a day later. Could not remember one thing that happened. The first blackout I had ever had. Scary as shit to not remember and have people tell you what an idiot you were.... I knew other people who had alcohol blackouts and I always thought they were funny as shit.... When it happens to you and you start playing through all of the "what ifs" it loses its humor instantly.\r\n\r\nThat blackout was absolutely the best thing that has ever happened to me in my life...\r\n\r\nIf I had not blacked out that weekend in April last year, I would probably still be going out every night of the week, taking days to recover, not getting work done(I was lucky as shit that my brother was my boss), and basically standing still in time with no forward movement in any aspect of my life. I wont even address the "what ifs" that are a lot worse......\r\n\r\nThat blackout gave me the "moment of clarity" I needed to determine that enough was enough. It was time to live instead of exist.\r\n\r\nI found out when and where the AA meetings where. I walked to the front door, knowing I may be recognized, embarrassed and scared. I walked in. I was recognized, embarrassed and scared.\r\n\r\nI was recognized as someone who wanted to take control of his life and welcomed with a hug like I had been coming for years. I sat through the first meeting and listened to people just like me talk about their stories. They talked about lows lower than I could ever imagine. Many had lost everything. Many who had lost everything had started just like I did. Just out having a good time. A good time night out ending with wiping out a family while driving drunk....They talked about prison, being homeless, losing family, losing self, losing everything. Many also seemed like your normal successful people who you never would guess in million years. Many came from alcoholic families. Many like me, had no history at all in their family. Alcoholism is an equal opportunity disease.\r\n\r\nThey also talked about highs from sobriety that I didn''t think I would ever see. Great changes in their lives. People who had not taken a drink in 30 and 40 years and loving life. Believe me, when you are sitting at day one that seems like pipe dream.....There were lawyers, doctors, salespeople, engineers, actors, college students, high school students.... You name it , the group was represented.... Everyone had their own story. Everyone had the same goal... To stop drinking....\r\n\r\nThat first meeting I was given what is called a "desire chip" It is an AA coin that is an outward sign of an inward desire to stay sober for 24 hrs. It was suggested that I go to 90 meetings in 90 days so I did that as well. Sometimes I went to two meetings a day.\r\n\r\nStopping drinking was not the most difficult thing I had never done. Not by a long shot. It was the easy part. What was the hard part? The hard part was to acknowledge that if I wanted to stay sober I would have to make a 180 degree turn in my lifestyle. This meant acknowledging that if my party buddies were also not making that change, something had to give. It is always easier to take the path of least resistance and stay part of the group to avoid change. The path of the most resistance is to break ties with that and move in a different direction.\r\n\r\nNo one wants to be alone. Everyone wants to be part of a peer group. Everyone wants to be wanted. Your best buddy is not going to be your best buddy anymore if you don''t go out and get drunk with them...... Your true friends will always be there and do you really want the ones who base your friendship on your ability to party like a rock star?\r\n\r\nMaking that change was ten thousand times harder than not taking a drink. It was hard until I saw that 90 percent of the world didn''t live like that anyways. I didn''t know that because I only hung out with the ones who did live that way. I survived. The true friends stayed my friends. We found other ways to socialize.\r\n\r\nThe rest continued on without me. They continued on to the tune of one drug related suicide and overdose in the year since I quit drinking.\r\n\r\nI will be honest here. There are a lot of things about the AA philosophy that I have not bought into. Most people have heard of "The 12 Steps" A year into the program I am on step 3. I have been there for a while. I may never move to step 4. One thing I learned in AA was to figure today out and worry about tomorrow tomorrow. Nine times out of ten when tomorrow comes it is not near the disaster that it looked today and so what if it is. People who have never taken a drink deal with problems and tragedy all the time and they manage.\r\n\r\nMaybe it is the attorney in me, but I question everything. Have to know the background, research etc. That is tough in AA because so much of it is based on simple faith in the program. A year later I am still full of questions...\r\n\r\nI do have one answer however. The answer as to whether AA works. At least for me the answer is yes. The last year has been without question, absolutely the best most eventful, the most forward moving year of my entire life.\r\n\r\nMy name is Brian and I am a damm proud and grateful alcoholic.....\r\n\r\nFor anyone interested in the Dallas area, you can find a list of meetings here. For anyone living elsewhere, you can find the national AA web site here.\r\n\r\nPLEASE NOTE: I HAVE VOLUNTARILY CHOSEN TO BREAK MY ANONYMITY.

In what is one more nail in the HD-DVD coffin, Netflix and more importantly Best Buy have stated that they will abandon HD-DVD high definition and exclusively endorse competing Blu-Ray high definition disc technology. As I have previously written this format war runs along the same lines as the VHS/Betamax wars of many years ago with VHS winning out.While the Netflix endorsement hurts, the Best Buy endorsement is a crushing blow to the HD-DVD format. Best Buy is the #2 retailer for DVDs and the #1 retailer for next generation format DVDs. The next huge domino in line has not yet fallen. Wal-Mart has stated that they are currently undecided. If Wal-Mart backs Blu-ray, its over.....\r\n\r\nI expect Wal-Mart to continue to carry the HD-DVD line while they determine if they have their own market for it.

It was a day like any other day. Sun was shining. Dog was scratching, cat was napping, Brian was loafing. There was a knock at the door at that would change my future. I am used to afternoon knocks on the door. I am on first name basis with the UPS guy as I buy a ton of books on Amazon.com. This knock however was like any other knock on my door since I moved into my condo ten months ago. It was a knock of authority. It was a knocked that said “I mean business”. It was a knock that caused the dog to stop scratching, the cat to wake up, and me to get off my ass and put some clothes on to go answer it.
\r\n
Lets’ talk about the psychology of “the knock”. When there is a knock at your door, there are really only so many realistic options. Sure it could be Jessica Biel coming to tell me she worshipped me from a far and was dumping, her boyfriend and wanted to move in to my new condo. I would have to decline as I have a girlfriend but it is nice to be wanted. Sure it could be that but I will have to admit that is not a realistic option….
\r\n
So what else could it be? Let’s take the following out of the equation. I am not expecting anyone, I have no psycho girlfriends or one night stands out there, I didn’t order pizza, it is not Halloween. I also live in a gated community so it could not one of those magazine sales cults that try to sell you mages you don’t want, keep your money to buy drugs and alcohol and you never see the magazine. The last one told me that if he sold one more subscription to “Motorcycle Mama”, he would get a scholarship to Harvard Law School. I am still waiting for my “Mama” and I saw that same kid standing at an intersection with a sign that said “Free Porn For Food”
\r\n
Having ruled out the plausible and the implausible I answered the door. It was the post man with a dam certified letter! I hate certified letters! Unless you jus t won the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes there is no such thing as a good news certified letter. I am an attorney so I know this! I have sent out many certified letters and none of them contained good news!
\r\n
Immediately my mind is spinning.What have I done? I have not cheated on my taxes recently, I have not “deadbeated anyone”. The bottom line was in that 2 seconds that seemed like and eternity I could not think of anyone that I had screwed over and would want to “smite” me with a certified letter.
\r\n
I take a deep breath and take the letter. The world suddenly has shifted from the real to the surreal. The letter is addressed to occupant! WHO THE HELL SENDS A CERTIFIED LETTER TO OCCUPANT!
\r\nI am not sure of 99 percent of the things in my life but I am sure my name is not “occupant”. I know this because I asked the postman to wait, went to my office, grabbed my birth certificate an confirmed my name was not “occupant” The name of the guy I leased the condo from was also not “occupant” so I ruled him out . My cat’s name is Useless and my dog’s name is Peanut so I ruled them out.\r\n
I then told the postman that after thorough due diligence, I was certain there was no one named “occupant” living at my address.
\r\n
The Postman’s response was profound”
\r\n
“Pal I just deliver them, do you want to sign for the dam thing or not!”
\r\n
How many times as an attorney have advised people pulled over for DWI, don’t take the breathalyzer. Of course no one heads the advice because every drunk thinks they are sober. Next thing you know you’re being initiated into your new “fraternity by being “pinned” by a smelly redneck named Bubba.
\r\n
I should have followed my own advice. Never take the breathalyzer and NEVER SIGN FOR A CERTIFIED LETTER ADDRESSED TO OCCUPANT!
\r\n
Conclusion of story? It was a letter from the “new” owner of my condo They had foreclosed on the guy I had leased it from. The letter said I had ten days to get out.
\r\n
If I had only entered the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes this sad story might have had a happy ending………
So I am cleaning out my home getting ready for a move in a couple months. I pull out this box that contains nothing but jumbled cables, speaker wire and electronic thingamajigs. I am trying to decide what to keep and throw away. I pull out this one generic cable. I look at it and immediately form a bond. That cable and I have history….. I bought that cable 5 years ago, when I bought my first nice stereo to go in my home, I then used that cable when I hooked up my first high definition television, I am pretty sure I used that cable in my DVD player at well. I had history with that cable. I stared at that cable. I thought about that cable. I let my cat chase that cable, giving it once last triumphant moment in my life after about an hour I said goodbye and gently placed that stereo cable with which I had so much history in the dumpster. Love is never having to say you’re sorry. Sometimes you just have to let go of your garbage.

I am going on that record here as to Brian McNamee''s production of syringes and other "corroborating" evidence with regards to Roger Clemen''s alleged use of steroids. It is a complete fabricated effort to save his deal with Federal Prosecutors who have undoubtedly told him if Clemen''s denial proves true to their satisfaction, whatever plea deal he has is off the table. Why do I believe this is bullshit? While it is true that unexpected evidence turns up in criminal and civil cases, it almost always evidence from obtained or offered up by a third party. When a criminal defendant suddenly says ''oh yea, If forgot to give you this"..... it is highly suspect and almost always of no evidentiary value.Macnamee almost have to say he got it from a third party or he has zero credibility. He just happened to forget he had syringes when he talked to Federal Prosecutors? I would love to hear the explanation he gave as to where he got them. The odds of a legit chain of custody to rule out any chance of tampering are also zero.This whole thing is going to backfire on Mcnamee and the next zero he sees will in front of the word "freedom" for the next year or so.', 'STEROID MANIA PART 4', 0, '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'steroid-mania-part-4', '', '', '2008-03-10 05:28:35', '2008-03-10 05:28:35', '', 0, 'http://briancuban.com/?p=21', 0, 'post', '', 0);

Basically it involved a lady dying of kidney failure who ran a web site called "CatchTheTrain.com.(not a real web site) It was a web site for people to discuss their thoughts on suicide and ways to commit suicide. Knowing that Law and Order usually takes episode ideas from real life incidents; I did a Google but didn''t see a whole lot. I concluded that it was probably illegal to have such sites up in the United States as it is illegal to in most states to facilitate euthanasia/suicide. \r\n\r\nI should have expanded my search worldwide. Such clubs do exist. They are under the radar and loosely structured in chat rooms and social networking sites but defenitely real. Today I was forwarded an article on DIGG entitled: Suicide Clubs Lure 20 Thousand Russian Teenagers . There are apparently hundreds of these webs sites in Russia where people, primarily teens, discuss ways to kill themselves.\r\n\r\nNow armed with some better search terms, I set out to see if this was Russian phenomenon or a worldwide "psychological epidemic". My search took me first to Japan which has the highest suicide rate in the world. I found the article Japan Internet Suicide Clubs. It appears that "Suicide Cults" in Japan are rampant. A growing number of teen suicides in Japan have been tracked to origination in internet chat rooms. The article goes on to state: "It is a growing, and morbidly frank underworld of chat rooms and websites with names like "Suicide Club," where thousands of (mainly young) people meet and talk and plan their deaths"\r\n\r\nMy travels next took me to the U.K. Where I found an article about a small Welsh town which has seen 16 of its'' youth commit suicide in one year allegedly using a web site called Bebop to discuss their own deaths. Bebo is a Facebook type application that caters to teens and younger.\r\n\r\nThe Laws governing assisted suicide vary widely around the world. Some countries having no laws at all addressing the issue.\r\n\r\nWhat about the United States? It is a tricky issue in this country with conflicts between state and federal law. Anyone who knows about Dr Jack Kevorkian knows that physician assisted suicide is illegal in many states. As of today only the state of Oregon has a law that expressly allows physician assisted suicide under its "Death with Dignity Act" With all the conflict, stigma, and shame is it any wonder that troubled teens turn to their own in these loosely structured but definitely real web based suicide clubs and chat rooms.\r\n\r\nLet''s forget about the legal and medical ethical issues when a physician is involved. What if it is the person''s high school classmate? What if it is another high school student across the country? Every time a teen commits suicide in the United States, I wonder how many other teens in some web chat room knew he/she was going to do it before it happened. The answer would probably shock us. We are so focused on making sure are kids are not being preyed on by pedophiles and perverts that we forget to look at what our kids are actually saying on the web to their legitimate peer group. A peer group comprised of other kids who are less interested in the illegality of helping a friend or person in similar pain than simply helping a friend or person in similar pain.

I admit that I have become obsessed with the trials and tribulations of Britney Spears.While I despise everything TMZ.com stands for, I have become a closet “TMZr” just to check out what disaster or embarrassment she is into on any given day.I have even seen my brother Mark Cuban on their site now and then. He however always takes it in stride when the “paps”whoop on him. He even has some fun with them. His “faux” cocaine off the cell phone impression was hilarious and can be seen on their site…
\r\n
It is however a sad statement of what I use some of my free time and I would be the first to admit that I despise everything TMZ stand for….Now that I think about it, TMZ really doesn’t stand for anything… It is a completely content empty intrusion into the lives of others.Yet there I am daily….. Shame on Brian…..I admit that those who go to this site contribute to the whose of those in the public eye who would like their private life to stay their own to some degree or who simply don’t want to be harassed EVERY SINGLE TIME they step out of their homes…. Britney certainly falls into that category…
\r\n
There should be a self help group for those who are addicted to TMZ……I would raise my hand and state…. “My name is Brian and I am addicted to the misery of others”… … Hello Brian…..
\r\n
I have asked myself why I have become addicted to Britney’s daily doogles……I really don’t have a secret crush on her or anything…. The only explanation I can think of is that I got to “hang out” with her and her posse totally by accident when she was celebrating her 21st birthday in NYC many years ago….
\r\n
I was in NYC on business trip. After arriving my plans were cancelled at the last second. I called a friend of mine, Marc Roberts who used to be a sports agent in NYC and was living in Miami. He set me up with this very interesting Jamaican guy named Unik who at that time was a well known party planner in NYC and currently owns a bar called PMIn the garment district. (It apparently closed in January of this year).
\r\n
Uniks as it so happens had been asked to set up a last minute party for Britney’s 21st and took me a long as his guest.We started out at some restaurant sitting right next to George Clooney who was there with a few of his buddies.
\r\n
After about 3 hours of drinking, we all stumbled over to this nightclub called Suite 16 Including George, and drank while we waited for Britney…… and we drank while we waited for Britney….. and we drank while we waited for Britney….
\r\n
Britney finally shows up at about 5 in the morning. By that time the only train wreck in the room was me after drinking since 8 pm…….I even had a 8 am flight back to Dallas……
\r\n
Britney comes in surrounded by the 3 biggest guys I have ever seen….This was before it was in style for celebrities to have wiry ex-Israeli Secret Service (Mosad) as bodyguards.These were just huge bouncer type dudes….They all gravitate to a roped off table where Justin Timberlake was already sitting with some friends. Britney did not appear happy he was there..….She clearly didn’t want him there and threw a fit that would make even her current day antics seem tame. It got a great write up in the NY Post……After watching her try to scratch Justin’s eyes out with nasty looks until he booked I decided the better part of valor was to get my stuff and get to the airport still drunk….
\r\n
So ended my evening with Britney Spears.I even left my coat at the club…. Anyone have Justin’s address so I can get it back??

In what has to be one of the more bizarre trials and verdicts to come out of the Federal Courts in quite some time, actor Wesley Snipes was acquitted of tax fraud and conspiring to defraud the Federal government with regards to his refusal/failure to file income tax returns and pay income taxes on over 38 million dollars of earnings spanning a number of years. He was convicted of three misdemeanor counts of failure to file income tax returns over three years but strangely was acquitted of failure to file returns over another three years.
Snipes didnt even put on a case. In closing his attorney argued that the positions that Snipes has taken regarding why he doesnt have to pay taxes may be bizarre and kooky but they are not illegal.I guess I will never be a tax attorney as I shared what I think is the general public impression that refusal to pay your taxes is in itself a crime. A perception that the Federal government certainly encourages to keep the masses writing checks. It apparently is not. I guess you also have to have some sinister intent when you dont pay and buy that Lexus instead.Snipes apparently will still have to "pay the piper" when the IRS goes after him in Civil Tax Court.In the great tradition of BLADE, I guess we can say score one for the "working stiff"........

These photos will be published shortly.\r\n\r\nRumors have been flying as to who will get to be the lucky "executioner" for this event, which is expected to break all national television ratings records. The Bush Administration today announced that a national lottery will be held to select the executioner. The only selection criteria announced was that the "winning executioner" had to be over 18 years old and a card carrying member of the National Rifle Association (NRA). When contacted, NRA spokespersons were delighted at this requirement and said membership has quadrupled since the announcement. The most compelling question has yet to be answered by the Administration.\r\n\r\nWhen asked about the identity of the lucky "executionee," President George W. Bush, who is vacationing at Camp David , declined to comment due to security concerns, but did state that all money from the lottery would go to fund the Global War on Terror. He went on to say that the execution will take place in accordance with his new unfettered power under the Military Commissions Act of 2006 and the newly amended War Powers Act to arrest, detain, torture and execute pretty much anyone he wants if they piss him off.\r\n\r\nIt is rumored that this event will be beamed worldwide, including the Middle East , so that it may be viewed in conjunction with whatever public executions happen to be scheduled that day.

Not that I think I am a liar or cheater. I think the general consensus would be that I am a nice guy (with some dissenters am sure) BUT in 7 out of 10 relationships that end for any reason, someone is going to be pissed and find a justification to blame the other person to bolster their self-worth. The next things you know either your photo is up on Don''t Date Him or you''re accosted by a camera crew from the television show CHEATERS in a Wal-Mart parking lot. Why is it you never see the Cheaters camera crew waiting outside of Nordstrom''s or Neiman Marcus??\r\n\r\nI of course went straight to the Dallas, Texas listings. In my single career in Dallas, I have known many, 30k millionaires, Mack daddies, serial daters, cheaters, schmoozer''s losers, boozers, druggers, muggers etc. There definitely was an entertainment value to seeing if any of them were listed on the site.... I know some guys that I would list myself just to protect unsuspecting female Dallasites...... Here are some of the examples of what I found in the Dallas listings....\r\n
\r\n
1. Joseph L. Austin "Joe"- "Drives a Mercedes and still lives at home with his parents and sister. Not marriage or boyfriend material"
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
2. Wellington Papy Saygbay "Papy"- "Expects women to worship the ground he walks on because he works at a radio station. Has has had several live-in girl friends. He won''t tell you about whom he is living with, so you have to pick up the signs when you are at his house.
\r\n
\r\nThere are a ton of listing complaining that a particular guy had given a girl herpes or some other STD. Others complaining of being married, two timing, and just being an asshole in general\r\n\r\nIn any event, not that I expected to be but I am proud to say that I my mug was not on the website. Of course since they do not verify anything, I could claim to be women and put up negative posts about all the guys I know in town just to eliminate the competition. I''m out on the town, see a guy talking to a girl I like, get that guy''s name, throw it up on Don''t Date Him, tell the girl he is up there and the next thing you know he can''t even pay for a date. Those would be some serious "guerilla dating" tactics but I wouldn''t put it past guys or girls in this town or in any other town for that matter.\r\n\r\nI then put my lawyer''s hat on and thought about it from that perspective. There is already case law out there about posting defamatory remarks on web sites and bulletin boards but I wonder if Don''t Date Him is bringing in any click-through advertiser dollars. I would certainly argue that if they put my photo up, negative comments and all, they are using my likeness to make money without my permission and I want a piece of the pie!\r\n\r\nAs to the posts themselves, you can check it out for yourselves and I will probably get some flak for this but the majority of hard luck guy stories said just as much about the sheer stupidity, immaturity and gullibility of the women involved as it did about the alleged sliminess of the guys.\r\n\r\nThe owner of the site was in fact sued by Pittsburgh Attorney Todd Hollis with regards to posts about him on the site by a couple different women, one of the posts being that he allegedly carried a sexually transmitted disease. He denies that he does. The owner of the site claimed that she should not be liable for the posts of others. The lawsuit has since been dismissed based on improper venue. That has not stopped the aggrieved men from firing salvos. There is actually a web site out there trying to collect victims for class action. Good luck with all that or in other words....GET A LIFE!\r\n\r\nWhen a defamatory remark is posted on an internet web site, you have basically three possible parties who can be potentially sued 1. The person who posted the remark; 2) the owner of the web site; and 3) the Internet Service Provider (ISP) who hosts the web site. The ISP issue is easy. They are for the most post immune from suits relating to the posting of defamatory remarks on web sites they host.\r\n\r\nSo when Internet America or Southwestern Bell hosts the web site "BrianCubansaScumbag.com", It is a web site for everyone who hates Brian Cuban to post nasty things about him. So assuming there were nasty, defamatory posts about me on this site, I cannot sue Internet America or Southwestern Bell. This protection to an ISP is generally provided under Title 47 of the U.S. Code \r\n\r\nSo we know we cannot sue the ISP, what about the person running the web site? All he did was put up the site. He did not post any defamatory comments.... He is probably also protected. In 1996 Congress passed the Communications Decency Act, part of which has been stuck down but for the most part is still intact. This Act could in fact provide protection to the owner of the site. Where issues arise is when the site is made aware of defamatory comments and fails to remove them.\r\n\r\nWhat''s the bottom line?\r\n\r\nQuit having affairs and lying to women and use a condom!\r\n\r\nI know for many guy and women in this town that is like asking them to walk on water or actually be a responsible adult so in the alternative "Reputation Endangered" men are going to probably have to track down the girls who put up the posts if they want to collect. My reaction to that? If you put as much energy into being a productive member of society as you do scamming women, our little corner of Texas would be a much better place to live and socialize.... You know who you are.....\r\n\r\nWhat is my general "dating take" on this? My take is more on the sad state of human affairs when we are going to sites like this to be entertained off the misery, inadequacy and humiliation of others. I am talking about myself here because I went to the site! I am proud to say however that I have not read the obituaries in a while.......But hey, turn to any television station for your dose of reality television and you will get the same thing. For that matter go to CNN, TMZ, or Perez-Hilton for the same thing.....That''s Entertainment Baby! Gag!!!!\r\n\r\nIf your date is going out with nine other women, really works at Jack in the Box and drives a Pinto and he gave you herpes ,spend more time examining your mate selection process and the due diligence and your attitudes on safe-sex , less time trying to feel better about yourself by posting goofy shit on idiotic web sites....\r\n\r\nI don''t expect to see my name up there but if I ever do, they will hear from my attorneys not to take my picture down as everyone is entitled to their opinion but to get my cut of the profits.......', 'Please Dont Date That Loser!', 0, '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'please-dont-date-that-loser', '', '', '2008-04-22 00:06:45', '2008-04-22 00:06:45', '', 0, 'http://briancuban.com/?p=137', 0, 'post', '', 1);

I will start out by stating that I love my 160 gig IPOD. I started out with the 40 gig and have moved up each generation as Apple has released them. Until the 80 gig was released you could only download music which was cool. I am however a huge movie buff. I collect them and much to my girlfriend''s chagrin watch some that I love over and over again. When apple released the generation of IPOD that you could download movies to, I was thrilled. Unfortunately, I-Tunes never really kept pace. Every once in a while they would release a movie I like but in general they put a bunch of crap out there that there was not a huge audience for in the first place. IF I didn''t want to see it or rent it then, I certainly dont want it wasting space on my IPOD. Then video ripping software was developed. This was my savior because I have a huge DVD collection of well over 400 movies. I paid 40 bucks for mine but there is some good free software that can be downloaded off the internet. I know there will be people reading this screaming copyright infringement but as I paid for the movie originally and downloaded it for my personal use I am not feeling guilty about it.I began ripping my favorite movie to my IPOD and watching them on planes, at the gym, etc, It is great. You add in Bose Noice Cancelling Headphones it really is a great experience as far as these things go.But alas, Apple is Itunes is still Russian Roulette. You might see one new movie a week added and there was still an 80 percent chance it was some straight to DVD clunker or some other yawner you get stuffed in your Christmas Stocking.When Apple announced their new Rental program I was excited. I thought there would be overload with great titles coming fast and furiously. There have been a couple good titles but they are not being added all that fast and I guess I did not read the fine print on this one because no matter what I try, the rental will not sync to my ipod. I can only watch it on my computer.I find this very weird because the new IPod Firmware update puts a category of movie rentals on my Ipod. They also make a big deal of 30 days to watch the movie but that his very misleading Once you start watching the movie, you only have 24 hours to finish it. I guess that made sense to someone......I am sorry but unless I am a huge accumulator of Frequent Flyer miles, what is the point of the whole thing if I cant transfer the movie to my Ipod? What''s the big deal? How does this compete with Netflx, Blockbuster etc? Unless Im in a hotel in Tasmania with no other option, I still would rather watch the movie on a television or in the theatre....What am I missing?My opinion: ITunes movie rentals adds no value or incentive to make it a realistic choice unless you are a heavy traveler. Even then, its not a very good choice as the selection sucks. If I am in a hotel, I would rather fork over the extra ten bucks for the much better in-room movie selection with no-download wait.
Time to go rip another blockbuster hit to my IPOD because I sure wont find it on ITUNES and if I do, I cant fit my MAC book in front of me on the elliptical trainer.

This team was formed from NFL players currently serving prison time or having already served time and released. Tryouts were recently held at Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary. While the list of the names of the former players who tried out was kept under tight security, ESPN investigators were able to get a list of those trying out.We have learned that the game will be telecast on pay per view at the price of 49.95 on the NFL Network. An NFL spokesperson speaking on the condition of anonymity stated that they see no reason why this should not become an annual event for many years to come.\r\n\r\nWhen questioned as to why they thought there would be a steady stream of players, the spokesperson stated that given the number of NFL players arrested yearly they should have no problem fielding a team for years to come. It was also pointed out that there were an increasing number of college football arrests that could be beneficial to the new team. It was specifically noted that about half the Penn State Nittany Lion football team was facing jail time for one offense or another... They were keeping a close eye on that situation for recruiting purposes. Here are the confirmed starters so far:\r\n
\r\n
1. Michael Vick at quarterback. Vick is serving 23 months at Levenworth Federal Prison as a result of his plea of guilty to numerous charges related to dog fighting. It was felt that Mike''s "vicious, merciless style" is well suited for the team. They had Michael Vick at quarterback for the foreseeable future and that would be enough to field a competitive team. He stated that Vick as the cornerstone for the new team fit the "running" persona of the team perfectly.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
2. Starting at wide receiver will be former Carolina Panthers wide received Rae Carruth currently doing 18 years for conspiring to kill his girlfriend. You will recall that Ray went on the run and was found hiding in the trunk of a car. A perfect target for the "running'' style of Vick who often can''t hit the broad side of a barn let alone a car trunk.....
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
3. A surprise starter is former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Byron "Bam Morris. A former Doak Walker award winner, Morris served 30 months at Leavenworth Federal Prison for drug trafficking. Morris is currently playing for the Katy Copperheads of the National Indoor Football League. It is rumored however that he feels his career will be better served on the All Con Team. He is currently negotiating with authorities to violate his parole...They expect him in the starting lineup in the near future....
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
4. Also starting at running back will be former Ohio State Standout Maurice Clarett. Clarett is currently serving 7 years for robbery at the Toledo Correctional Institution. It is rumored that Clarett has already negotiated a transfer to an Israeli prison after the season is over. He will complete his sentence their and enter the Israeli Army.....
You heard it here first that the case of alleged murderer Marine Cpl. Cesar Laurean will end up going down as one of the most bungled murder investigations in history right there with the Duke Rape Case, O.J. Simpson and JonBenet Ramsey. Cpl Laurean is the prime suspect in the murder of Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach who was pregnant the time of her death. The case has already been marred by moronic and frequent news conferences by the Osnlow County Sheriff Ed Brown as well as his appearance on tabloid shows... We now hear that the Onslow County Sheriff''s department had enough information to arrest Cpl Laurean not prior to the murder but soon after. The failure to take him into custody has now allowed him to escape to Mexico which effectively takes the death penalty off the table if he is apprehended there. Mexico will not extradite someone charged with a capital offense unless the death penalty is removed from consideration Real time decisions are always based on less than perfect information and mistakes are made but there is a huge difference between mistakes made in innocence and mistakes made in arrogance.Lets hope that the arrogance and desire for "tabloid time" of Sheriff Brown has not damaged the ability to get a conviction when this guy is finally caught We know it has damaged the ability to get the full justice that U.S. laws would have allowed for.

There was a good article today in the Wall Street Journal comparing different health club chains. Being a self professed gym rat and currently on a quest to find a new gym, here are the things I have found to be important in finding a place to spend half my day without every really lifting a weight....
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n\r\n
It has been an interesting trek from the sublime to the ridiculous. I have perused every type of gym from the hard core” muscle beach” to the “no one breaks a sweat” to “our equipment is from the last gym that went bankrupt here” establishment.
\r\n\r\n
I was so obsessed with my quest that I even flew out to Venice Beach California and gained entrance to the Pelican Bay State Penitentiary to see how the convicted felon contingent got their workouts in….. I tried to check out the workout area at the SuperMax facility in Florence Colorado but there after hours of waiting at the entrance gate, I decided no one was home. I guess when you are in 23 hour lockdown, your no need to flex those biceps at the local nightclub….. Through all these travels and tribulations, I have decided what I do and don’t want in a gym.
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I don’t want to work out in a gym where the guy next to me is calling me “sweet cakes” or looking t my ass so I guess prison gyms are out…… So much for my “life of crime to get a better body program.”
\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I don’t want to work out at a gym where are more than a couple guys “stuck in the 80’s”. There are guys that have t-shirts that say “Crush Bone” or “Pitt Bull Gym”, wearing undersized shirts, lyrca shorts or leapord skin sweats and have fanny packs.

A gym where the person on the elliptical trainer right before you, leaves a lake of sweat larger than Lake Erie . You call an employee over and his response is “Yea that really sucks, we will sell you a towel for Five Bucks if you want to clean it up”

They must also be willing to lie their ass off about what a great guy you are and how you are looking for that one special girl to any girl you point out to them.

According to the Dallas Morning News, Texas Supreme Court Justice David Medina and his wife were indicted today by a Houston grand jury in conjunction with a fire at their Spring, Texas Home. Fran Medina’s on an accusation of arson, Mr. Medina’s on an accusation of tampering What is interesting is that within hours of the indictments, the Harris County prosecutor announced that they would ask the court to dismiss the very indictments they sought claiming there was not enough evidence to proceed,I do not practice criminal law and have only tangentially followed the case at all but as a layman I see two possible scenarios here...a. They were approaching a deadline to seek and indictment, were expecting a "no bill" and were shocked as shit when the indictments were handed downb. They figured the quickest way to get this behind Justice Medina was to get this to the grand jury which they were sure would "no bill" and again were shocked as shit when indictments were handed down....Either way Justice Medina could not be too happy with their handling of this and they certainly have some egg on their face in looking indecisive at least as it is being portrayed in the media.

It is often entertaining to watch how the realities of litigation and law are blurred, butchered and disregarded altogether in the name of entertainment or dramatic license.\r\n\r\nHere is the list of MY best/favorite courtroom movies of "all time" I stress MY and all-time because they are relative words. For a movie to be on my list, it has to be something I have seen within the last 5 years. If the movie predates that and I have not seen it in the last five years, then it was not obviously entertaining enough for me to see it again. An example of a movie that would come under this exclusion is Twelve Angry Men. This movie is on every respectable top ten list out there. I saw it in high school almost 30 years ago. I don''t remember enough of the details to have a personal recommendation as a great movie. The same would be true of To Kill a Mockingbird. There are also movies that revolve around lawyers but I do not view as courtroom movies such as The Firm, The ClientThe Pelican Brief and Michael Clayton. Please also not that if I say a movie is technically good from a courtroom perspective I am judging the overall portrayal to the layman and not passing judgment on every little evidentiary/trial fau paux.\r\n\r\n
The Verdict: This is my favorite courtroom movie of all time. I can watch it over and over. Paul Newman in my opinion gives his greatest acting performance. What lawyer out there cannot identify with getting that one big case that will cure what ails the human condition? A case that that not only redeems society but redeems the down and out alcoholic attorney played by Newman as well.. Battling a crappy case, biased judge and crooked law firm defending the Catholic Church.... Not great technically from a courtroom perspective but you get so sucked into Paul Newman''s character that you completely disregard any tactics that would be questionable in real life. David vs. Goliath courtroom movies are a dime a dozen and only work if they bring you into the story so you become David. Watch this movie and you will be David for two hours.
\r\n
The Rainmaker. Based on the book of the same title by John Grisham. Same David and Goliath script but with a much more technically correct courtroom feel. This is one of the few Grisham books in my opinion that the book translates well to the big screen. This time the young inexperienced attorney representing the poor family unable to speak for themselves up against the big bad insurance company. How do you not get sucked into Matt Damon''s character? The young attorney with no money trying his first case again up again the big time corrupt defense firm. (Are there any courtroom movies out there that put defense firms in a positive light?)
\r\n\r\nThe only people in this country who do not want to put a whop ass on a big bad insurance company are the people who work for the insurance company. One of the better courtroom movies from a technical perspective, great storyline. By the time the movie is over you want to go hire a lawyer to sue an insurance company, any insurance company.......\r\n\r\n
A Few Good Men. You have to get past the fact that the whole movie hinges on the star witness, a Marine Corps General played by Jack Nicholson suddenly collapsing like a used air bag under cross examination and giving the defense its case. The odds of this happening in real life? Play the Powerball Lottery this week. You have a better shot..... Basically Jack had to give it up under cross to make the movie work and boy does his performance make it work! Just get passed that. It''s a great movie. One of those movies worth watching just to watch every scene with Jack Nicolson. Oh yea, a good performance by Tom Cruise as the under-dog un-appreciated and initially apathetic military defense attorney. Watch it for Jack though.......
\r\n
A Civil Action This is based on the Book A Civil Action. It is a true story. Yes again, the underdog attorney, real life attorney Jan Schlictman this time against the big bad corporate giants spilling toxic substances into the drinking water of Woburn, Massachusetts causing cancer clusters in the children..... I don''t want to give away the entire story but you have an attorney coming to understand himself at the cost of everything he once was, morally, financially, emotionally. I will warn you that this is a SLOW movie. It is very deliberate as is the very long book. It needs to be to work. It works in that it is deliberate but never boring. You will come away from this movie with a better understanding of the frustrations that many attorneys face in trying to do the right thing and getting so sucked into to trying to do the right thing that you lose sight of what the right thing really is.... It happens......John Travolta gives a great performance as real life attorney Jan Schlittman. He brings you right into his character to such a degree that you hang on each work and move quickly through any slow parts of the movie. Interesting paradox here. Robert Duvall is portrayed as an honest defense attorney for the corporate giant when in reality the defense firm involved destroyed and hid evidence.
\r\n
Amistad: This movie is not for everyone. It is slow. It is hard to follow. It involves a mutiny on a slave ship traveling towards the coast of the United States. The story revolves around the trial of the slaves who led the revolt. I can sum up my review this way: Are you watching the HBO mini-series John Adams? Then watch this movie..... Why? John Quincy Adams, the son of Second President John Adams Jr. was the lawyer who defended the slaves who had revolted and killed their captors Good performances by Matthew McConaughey and Anthony Hopkins as John Quincy Adams. This slave controversy in this case became a prelude to The Civil War.
\r\n
Philadelphia. This is the first big star motion picture that I am aware of that addressed AIDS discrimination. Who better to do than Tom Hanks Great performance by Tom as a big city Philadelphia lawyer with AIDS. His law firm discovers his condition and cans him. Denzel Washington is great as the stereotypical ambulance chaser who finds a conscience and a cause..... I don''t think this is a very good movie from a technical standpoint My reason is that all the stuff about Hank''s characters sexual orientation and sexual habits would never come into evidence as not being relevant. They put it in the movie for dramatic purposes and it works for that purpose It can however give the laymen the impression that if you make such a claim your sex life will be put out there for all to see and that''s just not true.
\r\n
Miracle on Thirty Fourth Street (The 1947 Original) the existence of Santa Clause on trial? How could this not be on my list?
\r\n
Judgment at Nuremberg: The first film to address the trial of the Nazi''s accused of war crimes after World War II otherwise known as The Nuremberg Trials. I am frankly surprised this has not been re-done with a current day all star cast. I think it would do well.
\r\n\r\n9. Primal Fear Absolutely absurd courtroom dialogue but the story line and performances by Edward Norton and Richard Gere are so good that you really don''t care.\r\n
\r\n
10. Liar Liar and My Cousin Vinny. Absolutely the funniest courtroom comedies out there. Yea yea Legally Blonde is funny but I view that as a lawyer movie and not a courtroom movie.
\r\n
\r\nThat''s my list. Are there other good courtroom movies? Of course. These were the ones that I can watch over and over. Some other courtroom movies I found entertaining but didn''t make my watch over and over list are, Class Action, Criminal Law, Rules of Engagement, Hart''s War.

The absurdity of these sites and the notion that they have any effect on NBA decision making is self evident but hey, everyone has an opinion and the right to voice it as long as it does not cross into the area of slander and defamation.\r\n\r\nWhat I found funny about the FireGeorgeKarl site was the Coach Karl''s attorney, Brett Adams, of the law firm of Adams, Babner and Gitlitz also decided to voice his opinion by email sent to the owner of the site. I guess Mr. Adams never bothered to read my DATAPINBALL post about thinking before you hit send......... His email threatening to "sue the owner of the site into bankruptcy" pinballed to the expected path of least resistance...... The owner of the site did exactly what I would have done.

That email was not written out of rational legal analysis, it was not written out of rational desire to achieve it a legal result. It was written out of sheer ego and a sense of self inflated importance....... This is an ailment very common to the legal profession. Now I will concede that Mr. Adams may very well have been instructed by George Karl to take some action but I doubt that Mr. Karl dictated the specific action to take..... Ego combined with carte blanche is a dangerous combination.......\r\n\r\nI have a suggestion for Coach Karl.

It is often entertaining to watch how the realities of litigation and law are blurred, butchered and disregarded altogether in the name of entertainment or dramatic license. Here is my review of the worst and best courtroom dramas I have seen. In order to be classified as a courtroom movie, an integral part of the movie must take place in a courtroom. The courtroom scenes cannot be simply incidental to the movie.\r\n\r\nI am judging courtroom validity, acting and entertainment value. It is possible for a movie to be totally unbelievable in terms of what goes on in the courtroom but be very entertaining and therefore on my list. These tend to be comedies. Liar Liar, Legally Blonde and My Cousin Vinny are all on that list. All very goofy from a technical courtroom perspective but I loved all of them. I understand that there are a ton of "best lists" out there relating to courtroom dramas. The American Bar Association puts out its own list. These are my personal rankings of movies I have seen.\r\n\r\nWorst Courtroom Movies:\r\n\r\n
Suspect. This is No 1. on my list of the worst courtroom movies of all time. Let''s start with the absolutely unbelievable story line of a sitting juror helping a public defender solve a case. Let''s move on to completely moronic courtroom dialogue from Cher. She sounded like she never finished high school let alone law school. We end with a judge who murders people to protect a biased ruling in case. Liam Neesom in a throw away role as wrongly accused homeless mute. His entire dialogue is about 10 grunts. He probably rehearsed for this during sex with his wife. You need more than suspension of disbelieve to enjoy this movie; you need to be on LSD. No courtroom validity, terrible acting, ludicrous story line. A death sentence for Suspect.
\r\n
Body of Evidence: This was so bad I could barely sit through it and I was on my couch. Madonna should have been convicted of indecent exposure for making people pay 7 dollars to see her naked in this clunker. I laughed every time she opened her mouth and it was not a comedy. She is a terrible actor. The film was so bad that Patricia Cornwell, the novelist who wrote the book the movie was based on, attempted to get all reference to her book removed from the credits. Average overused story line, no courtroom validity, terrible acting. This movie is guilty of Indecent Exposure.
\r\n
The Jagged Edge. This is not the worst ever because it is mildly entertaining. Jeff Bridges saves it from being a complete mistrial. There is no doubt attorneys have had sexual relationships with their client during the course of case but the character played Glenn Close does not seem to have a care in the world about the possibility of disbarment while she sleeps with her client in the middle of a murder trial. Not to mention that he is on trial for the brutal killing of his wife. Part of the story line is also that her character has not practiced criminal law in years but her firm is going to let her handle a high profile murder case? Decent Acting, Low Courtroom Validity, Check this flick out to see Glenn Close in court in a dress so tight that the judge never looks at the defendant or the other attorney....
\r\n\r\nSo ends my short list of the worst. I am sure there are more I have seen. It is much easier to compile a list of the best movies. When a movie is bad you try to forget it. The only reason I remembered the ones listed is that they were so completely un-redeeming as to be memorable to me.\r\n\r\nCommentary and additions to this list are welcome.

Two individuals who were tried and convicted of rape were NOT exonerated by DNA. Why is this unusual? You would think it would be the other way around. Dallas County leads the nation in the number of rape and other convictions that have been over-turned because DNA testing that was not available at the time of the original trial proved that the person in prison did not in fact commit the rape. The DNA at the scene did not belong to that person. That’s a great thing isn’t it? Of course it is. One wrongly convicted person in jail is one too many. Most if not all of these convictions were based solely on the most unreliable evidence there is, eyewitness testimony. Anyone who has seen more than one episode of Law and Order knows this. Now there has been a lot of hoopla made over the fact that Dallas leads the nation in such cases. The Dallas judicial system of the past has been portrayed as a bunch of red neck cops and law enforcement types railroading the less fortunate innocent dupes who could not afford competent legal representation. This may or may not be true. I am no expert on the history of Dallas law enforcement. What I do know is that without knowing the sample size, what is being done in other cities, etc, the stats are pretty much meaningless. Maybe Dallas is leading the nation because the Innocence Project and other organizations are not focused on other cities. Maybe next year Atlanta or LA will lead the nations in wrongful convictions when attention is turned to those cities. Statistics are the great manipulators of truth……. Just ask any former Enron employee……Fast forward to yesterday in Collin County, Texas. A young man tried and convicted for a rape committed during a home invasion robbery. The conviction was apparently based on the strength that infamous eye-witness testimony. No DNA available. He was 16 at the time of the crime and was tried as an adult which is apparently pretty rare in Collin County. This should tell you something about how serious the prosecutors took this matter. They wanted this guy put away for a very long time. The case was tried before a jury and he was convicted. The prosecutor asked for 50 years. He could have received up to 99 years which he undoubtedly deserved. What did the jury give him? 10 YEARS PROBATION! Probation for a brutal rape of women at gunpoint. What in the world were these jurors thinking about?????I will tell you what they were probably thinking about……..They were thinking about the history of Dallas as a red-neck law enforcement town railroading innocents and less fortunates into prison for crimes based solely on eye-witness testimony,This poor lady paid dearly for the sins of our past……….

Judge Mike Snipes concluded that the Court of Criminal Appeals should grant Clay Chabot a new trial because Janice Warder, the lead prosecutor in the case, failed to disclose information favorable to the defense that could have changed the jury''s verdict.\r\n\r\nThe 10-page finding said that Ms. Warder did not tell Mr. Chabot''s defense attorneys about inconsistent statements by his brother-in-law Gerald Pabst, whom DNA tests now show to be the rapist. The judge also said that Ms. Warder did not disclose discussions with another witness about her not being interested in prosecuting him for drug dealing.\r\n\r\nMs. Warder violated what is called "The Brady Rule". This is a court ruling that requires the prosecution to turn over to the defense evidence which may be "exculpatory"(which may prove the defendant''s innocence) This was a court ruling in the 1963 Supreme Court case Brady v. Maryland.\r\n\r\nI admit that I have long since forgotten anything I learned about criminal law and procedure in law school and studying for the Texas Bar Exam. I also admit that anything I know about criminal law is as a result of watching re-runs of Law and Order and Law and Order SVU ad-naseum..... That makes it easy for me. When someone asks me for advice in the criminal law area, I simply research a particular Law and Order episode, tell the person when that episode will air and to watch it and send them a bill.......

Law and Order comes with my basic cable so it saves me a hell of a lot of money in legal research.....\r\n\r\nIn any event, I digress.......\r\n\r\nI was simply shocked that the article inferred that there was no administrative or criminal legal recourse against Ms. Warder for her conduct in the trial. I clearly recall a Law and Order episode entitled "Under The Influence" that dealt with this issue. \r\n\r\nIn this episode, Jack McCoy withheld the statement of a flight attendant whose testimony would have resulted in a lesser charge for person accused of murder by running over some people while drunk. He even encouraged her to leave the country during trial!

He withholds evidence from the defense and walks away without as much as a slap on the wrist! He lies to witnesses and defendants and it is okay! Jack makes inflammatory comments not supported by the evidence to the media and he is a hero for it!

The United States Supreme Court recently gave Texas and other statesthe go ahead to continue its’ “death machine” with its holding that the current method of lethal injection does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment...What remains to be seen is whether Texas will be the anomaly in its willingness to inject more lethal drugs as nationally executions overall dropped in 2007.Some states are banning executions all together coming to their own determination that lethal injection has its issues.
\r\n
Is this a social conscience moment towards abolition of the death penalty or justas short lived “point in history” reprieve for those awaiting execution until we find a more uniformly “humane” way of killing…..?Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens stated that while he agreed with the majority that the current version of lethal injection was constitutional, he felt the death penalty in itself was unconstitutional.Is it just a matter of time before the right case comes up before the court to strike down the use of the death penalty forever?
People try to complicate the death penalty debate into so many different “pigeon holes’ that the arguments become uncontrollably blurred.You can do it under these circumstances; you can’t do it under those…..Is it not simpler than that?Either you believe the state as the right to take a life in exchange for a life or you don’t.Either you believe the state is entitled to exact “revenge” for the victim or you don’t….It certainly is not about deterrence.The states are clear that the death penalty does not deter crime.
\r\n
It is actually more complicated than that. I for example have no problem with the concept of state sponsored revenge. I am not ashamed to say that the fact that there might be a little pain involved in the process does not bother me either….
\r\n
I however have a real problem with the fact that one innocent person could be executed.The system has proven time and time again to be very fallible.
\r\n
Let’s say for instance that a child molester has been convicted of raping and killing a little girl.He is sentenced to death.You win the “kill him now” national lottery and are chosen to “pull the switch”. Just when you are about to pull the switch you are told that there is a 1 and 10 chance the person is innocent.In other words there is a 90 percent chance he is guilty.What if you are told there is a 1 in 100 chance he is innocent?You see my dilemma…..At what point is it ok to say he might be innocent but let’s kill him anyways….
\r\n
What is the acceptable margin of error for a human life?In my opinion anyone who believes that an innocent person has never been executed in this country is very naïve or simply delusional.We say sorry and “that really sucks” and move on to the next bad guy…..
\r\n
Just something to think about…..

Of course in the course of human history it is well documented that there is always that point where everyone agreed something was impossible right up until the time it was made to happen. It is scientific evolution.\r\n\r\nSo if there was this quantum leap in human knowledge and time travel into the past was suddenly possible, should we do it? What are the moral, scientific and religous implications? Would we ultimately destroy ourselves?

All of this stems out of a highly publicized trial in which Federal Prosecutors hoped to land a more serious conviction of conspiracy to avoid paying income taxes and tax fraud which are felonies. To show just how much more serious, his co-defendants were convicted on the more serious charges and are facing ten years in prison.\r\n\r\nThe lessor conviction at the times seemed like a major victory for Snipes but the true scope will be seen today as prosecutors argue that Snipes as a high profile tax scofflaw should be made and example of and be given the maximum sentence of three years in prison. Hard, real life prison time. Not a stay at "The Rules Don''t Apply To Me" rehab Hilton.\r\n\r\nAs expected there was a long line of celebrity friends who submitted letters to the court on Snipes behalf attesting to his "good character". The list includes Woody Harrelson, Goldie Hawn, etc etc. All saying what a great friend and great guy Snipes is. This is not unusual. Whenever someone faces sentencing on a serious crime, there are often letters submitted to the court on that persons behalf in the hope of convincing the judge to hand down the most lenient sentence possible.

It is one thing to step forward and say your sorry for what you did but how can you step forward and in face of a verdict saying this guy is a liar and a cheat "but besides that he has "great character"........ When we step forward for Wesley and those similarly situated are we sacrificing our own character in doing so?\r\n\r\nIt reminds me of a case here in Dallas about two years ago. A former Dallas pastor by the name of Terry Hornbuckle was accused of the rape of several of his parishioners. During trial it was made public that former Dallas Cowboys and NFL Hall of Famers Emmitt Smith and Deion Sanders both sent letters to the grand jury basically stating what a great guy Pastor Hornbuckle was and what a great influence he was on their families. When I read about these letters, I was frankly shocked that both Emmitt and Deion would put themselves out there like that when this guy is charged with multiple counts of rape. Vouching for this guys "character".\r\n\r\nPastor Hornbuckle was convicted and is currently serving 15 years. Do you think Emmitt and Deion sent letters to the judge at sentencing. I may be wrong but I doubt it.\r\n\r\nThis is not a criticism of Emmitt or Deion. If he was my friend, I may have done the same.\r\n\r\nIt is just an observation on the word "character" .

\r\nORLANDO, Fla. (AP) _ Pro golfer Tripp Isenhour apologized for killing a hawk that was making noise while he tried to film a TV show. Now the Humane Society wants the PGA Tour to take action.\r\n\r\n"Because of the high profile nature of this case, the PGA needs to take steps to address its interest and to make it clear that they don''t condone animal cruelty," said Dale Bartlett, the deputy manager for animal cruelty issues for the Humane Society of the United States.\r\n\r\nBartlett said the organization would contact the PGA Tour on Friday to discuss the issue.\r\n\r\nIsenhour, who plays on the developmental Nationwide Tour, was charged Wednesday with cruelty to animals and killing a migratory bird, misdemeanors that carry a maximum penalty of 14 months in jail and $1,500 in fines.\r\n\r\nIsenhour quickly apologized Thursday.\r\n\r\n"As soon as this happened, I was mortified and extremely upset and continue to be upset," Isenhour said in a statement issued through his management company, SFX Golf. "I want to let everyone know there was neither any malice nor deliberate intent whatsoever to hit or harm the hawk. I was trying to simply scare it into flying away."\r\n\r\nThe 39-year-old player, whose real name is John Henry Isenhour III, became angry while filming "Shoot Like A Pro" on Dec. 12 at the Grand Cypress Golf Club when a squawking red-shouldered hawk roughly 300 yards away forced another take.\r\n\r\nHe drove closer to the bird in his golf cart and starting hitting balls at it. The bird didn''t move and Isenhour gave up and drove away.\r\n\r\nIsenhour started again when the hawk moved within about 75 yards, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officer Brian Baine indicated in a report.\r\n\r\nIsenhour allegedly said, "I''ll get him now," and aimed for the hawk.\r\n\r\n"About the sixth ball came very near the bird''s head, and (Isenhour) was very excited that it was so close," Baine wrote.\r\n\r\nA few shots later, witnesses said he hit the hawk. The bird, protected as a migratory species, fell to the ground bleeding from both nostrils.\r\n\r\nBartlett said Isenhour''s case, like the Michael Vick dog fighting case, is disappointing for society.\r\n\r\n"We look up to professional athletes and we want them to reflect the best of us as a society and I think we''re appalled when it turns out they instead reflect some of the very worst attributes," he said in a phone interview Thursday night.\r\n\r\nIsenhour said he is an animal lover and his family has adopted three cats from a local shelter.\r\n\r\n"We ask that everyone accept my sincerest apology, and please be respectful of my family''s privacy," he said.\r\n\r\nIsenhour has won four times on the Nationwide Tour, including twice in 2006. The former Georgia Tech star has played three events this year on the tour the last a 36th-place tie two weeks ago in the Moonah Classic in Australia.\r\n\r\nJethro Senger, a sound engineer at the shoot, said hitting the bird was "basically like a joke to Isenhour)."\r\n\r\n"He just kept saying how he didn''t think he could have hit it, which I think is a stupid thing for a PGA Tour golfer to say," Senger said. "He can put a ball in a hole from hundreds of yards away, and here he is hitting line drives at something that''s, I don''t know, a couple hundred feet away?"\r\n\r\nSenger said no one in the roughly 15-person crew intervened, and many later regretted it.\r\n\r\n"It was one of those cases where there''s some trepidation on whether or not they should speak up and do something," Senger said.\r\n\r\nSenger said the killing was not captured on video. The bird was buried at the golf course and later dug up by Florida investigators.\r\n\r\n"Americans have no tolerance for cruelty to animals. Such a petty, mean-spirited act against a wild bird is inexcusable and prosecutors are right to hold Isenhour accountable to the law," Humane Society executive vice president Michael Markarian said in a statement released Thursday.\r\n\r\nMY TAKE ON THIS: We cannot castigate and imprison Michael Vick and then turn a blind eye to this guy''s action. Intent is Intent. Isenhour should be suspended from the PGA tour. The matter should be referred to both the state and federal grand jury for the killing of the bird as cruelty case and killing of a protected species under the Migratory Bird Act. The guy''s claim of remorse is also a complete joke. His initial reaction to what he did was to say it was "one in a million" \r\n\r\nMY RESPONSE TO ISENHOUR: Apology accepted, now comes accountability....

This is such a stupid idea that these guys will probably make millions. They have invented the"Bowflex of the IPod" After one month of listening to some guy you have never met and never will meet grunt and groan and encourage you as you clumsily hold your IPod screen up in front of you interrupting the flow of your workout or have to take a break to listen to the same "motivational spiel" over and over, this workout will be archived to your computer as your Bowflex is to your garage never to be heard from again. You will also forget to cancel the membership for another 6 months so that''s another 180 bucks they get from you for mass creating a 40 minute workout that I would guess only changes variably for every person and is done by a computer program. It is not false advertising though because Mr. "Celebrity Trainer" owns the computer program.\r\n\r\nThese guys are hoping you will focus on the knee-jerk response that 30 bucks a month is way cheaper than paying 70 bucks or more a session for a personal trainer. They forget that the very reason personal trainers work is that they change it up, get in your face, come with a different personality every day sweat on you, piss you off , tell you who they are sleeping with, tell you how many girls in the gym they have dated. Tell you who everyone else in the gym is sleeping with. They are pimps, hairdressers and bartenders all rolled in to one and if they happen to get you in better shape that is an added bonus! Why would we want to replace them with a video celeb that isn''t going to give you the Hollywood scoop on who is sleeping with whom between sets.....? \r\n\r\nPeople get personal trainers to get in shape or stay in shape. People keep personal trainers because of everything else I just talked about! I also wonder what classifies someone as a "celebrity trainer." Is there a certification for that? One man''s celeb is another''s wannabe. I won''t mention the "celebrity guys" name but I had never heard of him and what''s more, if he a "celebrity" only in the "fitness world" and you have heard of him, you probably don''t need him! I think that anyone tied into the fitness world enough to know who this guy is probably does all right training on her/her own.\r\n\r\nIf he wants me to go for the "celebrity trainer" hook, he had better get Arnold involved.

Congressman Lantos passed away in February 2008.The report documents various types of anti-Semitic behavior and Holocaust denial activities worldwide and goes on to state "\r\n\r\nTraditional forms of anti-Semitism persist and can be found across the globe. Classic anti-Semitic creeds, such as ''The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion'' and ''Mein Kampf'' remain commonplace."\r\n\r\nBeing the grandchild of "Fiddler on the Roof" descent (Russian Jews forced from their villages in Russian Pogroms), I am certainly familiar with true anti-Semitic behavior and simply anti-Semitic ignorance and stereotypes. (I separate the two as one is the product of simple ignorance and the other is the product of hate. I would have to say that the instances of my exposure to true "hate behavior" related to being Jewish has few and far between.(that I am aware of) I have not found Dallas, Texas to be a hotbed of anti-Semitic thought processes but I have experienced it. Because my last name does not have a stereotypical Jewish sound and I don''t have a stereotypical Jewish look as non-Jews define that, I am often privy to a bevy of ignorant anti-Semitic rhetoric. Jewish Stereotypes are rooted deep in world history. We all have long noses, are politically left and control all of Hollywood and major financial institutions and will try to "Jew you down" in any bargaining situation.. I have heard it from people I knew both in a personal and business context who had no idea I was Jewish because I did not "look the look".... (I have actually had this said to me). I have no doubt that for every time I am on the receiving end of such remarks there are 10 others made behind my back.......\r\n\r\nThe national poll of 1,000 American adults conducted April 26 through May 6, 2002 found that 17% of Americans - or about 35 million adults.\r\n\r\nThis means that in general (very general) about 2 out of every 10 people I know thinks less of me to some degree because I am Jewish. I know a lot of people.......\r\n\r\nI guess the whole point of this is that I have a perception of anti-Semitism in the Middle East and other places worldwide but I have absolutely no conception of the state of anti-Semitism in my own country. I have lost touch with or maybe ever even developed a concept of what anti-Semitism means to personally to me as it exists within my sphere of existence.', 'ANTI-SEMITISM ON THE RISE', 0, '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'anti-semitism-on-the-rise', '', '', '2008-03-15 20:02:47', '2008-03-15 20:02:47', '', 0, 'http://briancuban.com/?p=96', 0, 'post', '', 0);

There has been a lot of disussion as to whether Andy Petitie will end up being the "smoking gun" with regards to steroid use by Roger Clemens. There is a school of thought that since Andy and Roger are best buddies, like brothers they surely would have discussed this with each other. Andy would therefore know of Roger''s steroid use(Andy has already admitted his own HGH use). Andy as a stand-up guy would therefore, despite his close friendship with Roger, if under oath testify as to his knowledge of Roger''s steroid use. Roger denies ever discussing this subject with Andy. I believe Roger when he says they never discussed the subject and here is why by hypothetical example:I am very close with my brothers. If I decided to use steroids do you really think I would tell either of them? Hell no! I would go to all lengths to hide it! They may see me get bigger and show whatever results you get from them but they would only suspect and have no first hand knowledge. Why wouldnt I tell the people closest to me? The answer is simple....The people closest to you whom you care about and who you value their perception of your integrity and respect above all are the LAST people you are going to tell you are doing illegal things or things that you will worry will lower their preception of you.It is the people you dont have a personal relationship with and are not as concerned with above that it always ends up slipping to and if you check the stats these end up being the people that always end up ratting you out because they dont care about you either....I think Roger and Andy would have gone to all lenghts to keep any knowledge of PES use from the other......

Rich "Goose" Gossage has finally been elected to the Hall of Fame. No one deserved it more. I am dating myself here but I saw him pitch many times when he played for the Pittsburgh PIrates. A great player from a more "pure" era when a save meant 2-3 innings and not 2-3 pitches. A player from an era when photos of players were in the media primary for accomplishments and not for indictments....(there were exceptions). Why does this matter to me so much? It matters because I love the game of baseball. I played it growing up. I went to countless games with my brothers Jeff and Mark even when my beloved Pirates were drawing less fans to the stadium than the number of games they lost.....Why does this matter to me so much? Because the era of Hall eligible players coming from the era of "hard work only" will be coming to an end. It will not be that many years before the eligibility of those players has ended an pretty much all eligible players will be from the steroid era" When that day comes, we will look back wishfully on the days when the debate was whether the players pure accomplishments merited Hall election versus how much juice he was on, what did he say to Congress, who did he rat out........Maybe there should be a separate "Hall of Juice" wing in Cooperstown.....

1. SKIING. I think my lack of appreciation for skiing dates back to my high school days. It was cool back them to walk around with every ski lift ticket you had attached to your ski jacket. The more lift tickets you had the cooler you were. Since ever y time I fell on the slopes, I couldn’t get up, I had very few lift tickets and therefore was not in the “cool” group. I hated those kids…… At my next high school reunion I am going to wear a ski jacket with 100 lift tickets attached. Maybe they will finally let me join the group………
2. SOCCER.I’m sorry, don’t get it, never will. 1-0, 0-0(or nil- nil as they call it-god knows why). I frankly would get more excited watching water boil or grass grow. Of course when I have kids, I will probably become the biggest soccer fan ever. They are the only ones who seem to enjoy it on a large scale unless you are in Europe or South America where the stats say you are as likely to be killed in an Soccer riot as in an auto accident…..
3. Golf. It’s not that I don’t appreciate golf; I just have too many anger and patience issues for it to ever be a reality for me….. There is not a golf club made that I cannot wrap around a tree or throw at a duck and feel better…….
4. NASCAR. I don’t drink or own and R.V… that pretty much leaves me out in the cold…..(if you think that’s an unfair stereotype blame national television, I call what I see….)
5. Curling. A sport? Give me a break….. If that’s a sport, there should my maid is a true Olympian………..

Something happened yesterday that I would never have guessed would ever occur in my lifetime. Ever! It was a confusing and at the same time sickening feeling that came over me in a wave. I could have explained it away as bad sushi, post-nasal drip or anything but the disturbing truth. I had to confront it head on. I had to understand it and deal with it. It even sickens me sitting here today knowing I felt it…. I think the only way to get over it is to purge it right here to all who can understand or help me put it in its place… Here it is….
Yesterday for about 2 hours I felt sorry for O.J. Simpson………..
Now I don’t personally know O.j. I have never met him so I really don’t like or dislike him as a person. I certainly despise the things he is accused of doing and believe he got away with killing Nicole and Ron.
For all those who following such things, O.J is now charged with various crimes including robbery and kidnapping as a result of a botched attempt to recover sports memorabilia items from a Las Vegas hotel room that he claims belonged to him. While many items are in dispute, there is little doubt that he and a group of others stormed into the room and physically attempted to take the stuff. The biggest issue with the most ramifications for O.J. is whether he knew that guns were going to be used by the people he brought with him. He denies it. So what does this all have to do with why I felt sorry for him yesterday?
Being an attorney, I have taken in interest in watching the probable cause hearing going on right now in Las Vegas to determine if there is enough evidence to bind O.J. over for trial. The general consensus is that this is a formality but given the national media nature of the case, attorneys are all taking their full swing at their 15 minutes of “Johnny Cochrane fame”
The most entertaining part so far was listening to the testimony of Simpson’s former golfing buddy Walter Alexander. Mr. Alexander has quite a colorful and checkered past. Mr. Alexander is also is a key witness for the prosecution as he will “figuratively” put the gun in O.J.’s view. I started off listening intently to his testimony as it could add 50 years a prison sentence for O.j. By the time he was done, his testimony had changed so many times and been so bizarre that I started looking for Judge Judy…. Here where the key things I as an attorney got out of his testimony without going into detail:
The “Cuba-matic” lie detector tells me the witnesses that I heard testify against O.J. where lying through their teeth. These witnesses were so bad and changed their stories so many times on the stand that here we go….. I ACTUALLY FELT SORRY FOR O.J
I think O.J. did commit some crimes here and if being an Idiot was a crime he would be on death row right now but come on guys, charge the crimes you can prove, not the ones you want to make a reality show out of………..

100 dollars is a lot of money to me as I am sure it is to most people. How often is it that you go out either in day-to-day life or even out on the town and actually have 100 dollars cash or more in your pocket? Probably not to often.
If you’re like me you have a few bucks and your trusty credit card. Why would you need that much cash on you? (Unless you don’t have a credit card or plan on doing something illegal with it……….)
So lets say youdon’t have a credit card, lost it or whatever. You put a 100 dollar bill inyour pockets and hit the town in the Big D. Lets see you what you can do and cant do.
1.You can take your date or buddy to the Dallas Mavericks game with parking and hot dogs. No you wont be sitting courtside but the upper level seats have great views and are a lot of fun!
2.You can catch a Southwest flight to Austin and have enough left over to party on Sixth Street. Of course you will have to hitchhike back…
3.You can go to a sports bar and get trashed watching a Dallas Stars game. You can’t get two of their seats for 100 bucks, park and also eat…I’m not even sure you can get two of their seats…
4.You can buy two and ½ girls a drink with tip at GhostBar. What’s the point, you’re notgoing to be able to get them drunk…
5.If your like me you can go to Best Buy and purchase the last three seasons of Sex In The City and watch them all back to back over the course of the weekend. That will cost you just under 90 dollars. You have 10 dollars left for a premium bottle of MD 20/20.
Lets talk about the one thing youcannot do in parts of Dallas for less than 100 dollars… What’s your guess?
The answer is………… VALET PARK! You heard me right. In Victory Park(home of the Dallas Mavericks although they have their own reasonable parking) if it is an event night at the American Airlines Center and you want to hit the bars in the areas, the prime curbside valet will cost you ONE HUDNRED DOLLARS! I couldn’t believe it! 100 DOLLARS TO VALET PARK IN DALLAS, TEXAS!
Now I have been known to become mentally divergent when I am off my medication so I had to blink my eyes a few times to be sure I was not in my alternate “LA Rock Star” world…
Did I pay? NOPE! I SHOWED THEM! I drove to the market, bought a 6dollar six pack, went home and filled out my application for the next season of Donald Trump’s “The Apprentice” If some guy in Dallas can convince someone to pay 100 dollars to valet their car,Donald may not be such an idiot after all……….

I even ran into some people in NYC recently who read my blog and commented on my lack of spelling etiquette which is was a nice way of saying that I can''t spell worth a shit. (Just the other day someone pointed out that I had spelled my own name wrong on a portion of my blog) I was really feeling pretty "low rent" in my grammatical efforts and was contemplating various types of therapy to get over the feelings of "spelling inadequacy". Just when I was about to end it all , I saw something that pulled me out of the doldrums and restored my faith in humanity and human nature in general. I was perusing a back issue of Marie Claire Magazine. (Yes, real men read Marie Claire) The following story headline was prominently displayed:\r\n\r\nThe Million-Dollar Question" ... the byline under the title reads as follows: "We''re better educated, better read, and better at launching a business. So why, when it comes to managing money, do women lag behind? Serial debter(sic) Meghan Daum explains the complex state of women and wealth."\r\n\r\nBeing an attorney and holding numerous credit cards, I am very familiar with the term "debtor" In legal circles and the many threatening letters from these credit card combines and their paid leg-breakers...... it has always been spelled DEBTOR! I looked at their spelling and immediately was of the opinion that there was a spelling I was unaware of. ... I suspect that this magazine is paying people who call themselves assistant editors who pick up girls claiming to be aspiring writers working on a hit play in the NYC bar scene and..... get paid to check spelling......\r\n\r\n At least I have an excuse.

They are ruled by the almighty dollar and to have such a blatant misspelling on such a mainstream word (especially to those of us who owe) has to be an incredible embarrassment that registers 9.0 on the I f****k up Richter scale!

I went to the Miriam Webster Website. I typed in "debtor" and "debtor." I have very bad news for the former editor and new copy boy at Marie Claire. Only the "o" version exists according to Miriam Webster.\r\n\r\n It is possible that the word "debter" was being used in the great tradition of France given the origins of the magazine. I however took the liberty of using an online French-English and English-French Dictionary and could find no analogous use of the word in French. Note to the former editor and now proud new copyboy- those buying the magazine here Dallas, Texas and Pittsburgh, Pa and just about everywhere else BUT maybe New York City are probably expecting to read words that exemplify the great literary concepts and traditions of the good old U.S of A! I for one do not possess dual citizenship and have enough trouble translating English on a daily basis.\r\n\r\nNow every time I get a comment or a message lambasting me for my admittedly haphazard spelling, I will think of Marie Claire''s new copyboy and strive to do better (not bettor)!\r\n\r\nIf anyone former Marie Claire assistant editors want a job checking my blog let me know.

If the lines to get in are any indication, it certainly is a popular place, and the food was very good. After eating we went to Atlanta, Texas, an East Texas town of about 6500 people. This is the town where my girlfriend grew up. Now, it took me months to get it through my head that when she talked about where she was raised, she wasn''t talking about Atlanta, Georgia . As we drove through "downtown" Atlanta, it was clear that that resemblance was in name only. It was your typical one street downtown, as I have seen in other small West Texas towns such as Olney, Boyd and Archer City (where the classic movie The Last Picture Show was filmed. As is standard in small Texas towns, there''s a barber, candy shop, bank, hardware store, bakery, sporting goods store and a few antique stores. And of course there are the two mainstays of any small town - the grocery store and the Dairy Queen. These are the staples of life that any small town needs, and those are all they need.\r\n\r\nWhat these small towns never envisioned when they were formed (some over 100 years ago) is the arrival of the Evil Empire and its Death Star. Darth Vader, who was unmasked many years ago, didn''t destroy these towns with his death ray, but coined the phrase "We come in peace" and landed the Death Star right in the middle of town, touting every possible convenience a person could want at cheaper prices, with greater diversity and quantity. Unfortunately, no Jedi Knights have come to the rescue.\r\n\r\nNow, instead of seeing the sign "Victory tonight and free meal tomorrow" from the local diner, if the football team or basketball team wins, you see "Going Out of Business Liquidation Sale." How can they possibly compete with the neon lit entrance to the Death Star just a block away? The residents of Atlanta, Texas disappear into the Death Star and are never heard from again by the local merchants. Motto of story? If I ever want to make a killing in bankruptcy law, I will find every small town where Wal-Mart is planning on opening a store!\r\n\r\nIt was interesting that while sitting in the living room eating some very good pecan pie and watching the Dallas Mavericks, I mentioned that the town of Atlanta seemed unusually dead. Not dead in the sense that it was a Sunday but dead in the sense of the death ray coming out of space and vaporizing a once-thriving small town and replacing it with boarded up stores and liquidations sales. It was an almost ironic predatory invitation for its own residents to pick off the bones of what they had built over decades. When I mentioned this, a silence so deafening came about that I instinctively looked at the television to see if the Mavs were still rolling. Into my ear came the deafening yell, "Wal-Mart did this to us!" I thought about it and it made clear, present and perfect sense. What are the economic consequences of the Wal-Mart Death Star landing in virtually every small town in America? For every action there is a reaction, right?\r\n\r\nWal-Mart is the world''s largest retailer - with 1,489 Mega-stores, 1,397 Super Centers, 532 Sam''s Clubs, and 56 neighborhood markets in the U.S. alone as of 2003, and close to a thousand more abroad from Argentina to Germany. Wal-Mart is now the single largest private employer in the U.S. with 1.1 million "associates" and higher earnings than the gross national product (GNP) of 150 countries! In 2003, Wal-Mart sold 19% of all groceries in the U.S. and recorded $9 billion in profits. \r\n\r\nA study of small towns in Iowa revealed a loss of over 7,300 businesses from 1983 to 1993 due to a radical shift in consumer spending to chain stores like Wal-Mart. Five years after a superstore opens, small towns within twenty miles experience a 19% decline in business. For every 100 Wal-Mart jobs created, it is estimated another 150 jobs are lost. Is low-cost competitive pricing destroying the very entrepreneurial spirit that built this great country? I am not goggling to get information. I am personally witnessing small town business districts that are now boarded up and largely deserted.\r\n\r\nNow I am not criticizing Wal-Mart, but when you are now offering $4 prescriptions as an action, I think the law of physics is pretty clear that "Joe''s Soda Jerk Shop and Pharmacy" that has been there since 1932 is going to suffer, right? Are Sam Walton and kin the Darth Vadars of the one-stop shop? I wouldn''t go that far but I did start thinking of the moms and pops who put their blood, sweat and tears into those shops dating back to the Great Depression. They''re now bankrupt, can''t even afford the new $4 prescriptions, and are too proud to enter the Wal-Mart Death Star.

Who feels sorry for Ellen Degeneres. I dont. I certainly feel sorry for the individual she gave her dog to and then who had it subsequently"repossessed" by "Mutts and Mom" because Ellen had violated the adoption contract.
\r\n
The contract(which by the way, practically all adoption contracts have thislanguage) stated that if the dog did not work out within a specific time, it had to be returned to the agency.
\r\n
Ellen violated the agreement but giving the dog to her friend without the consent of the agency. Ellen then goes on her show and makes a public plea that the dog be returned to her friend. The dog has been subsequently placed in a new home.
\r\n
I am absolutely on the side of the agency and it is Ellen who ultimately prevented her friend from keeping the dog, not the agency.
\r\n
If Ellen had read her contract and not used the show as leverage, this probably would have gone differently. If she had quietly gone to the agency and explained the situation, the agency would have probably checked out the new family and may have approved them. All would have ended well.
\r\n
Ellen,in true diva and Paris Hilton "I dont read my agreements" fashion made it all about her in using media strong arm tactics which resulted in death threats and overall negativity to the animal shelter which is only trying to do the right thing for the animal which does not have a choice. She seems to have forgotten that it is about long term placement of the animal.
\r\n
For Ellen to claim this this has all gotten out of hand and was not what she intended seems dis-ingenuous. It went EXACTLY as she intended.
In my zeal to make sure my brother Mark makes it to the next round of Dancing With The Stars, I am engaging in unmerciful brutal spam. Yes Iadmit it.
I am not spamming in the sense that I am sending thousands of emails to random names. I have been however, sending my voting pleas out to my entire email list which is quite large. Some of the people on it probably do not even like me.
In any event, the response has been almost all positive until yesterday. Someone that I have had passing contact with responded back that Ishould take her off my emailing list because Mark was "Un-American".
Now I get people offering opinions on Mark to me every day of theweek. He cant dance, He''s arrogant, He couldn''t carry Donald Trump''s briefcase,He is this , He is that.... you get the picture. This stuff all goes in one ear and out the other. I view them as media perception attacks which goes with the territory. Mark is a big boy and doesn''t need me to stick up for him.
When this person called him Un-American, it was a dagger right in my stomach. I without hesitation viewed it as a personal attack on Mark andthe entire Cuban family which I will defend at all times. I took it very personally. I wont repeat what I wrote back but will admit I didn''t count to ten and responded emotionally.
On retrospect I should have treated it like every other opinion,view, whatever on Mark that I always ignore. They are all based on media perception and have no basis in reality. Myself and Mark''s true friends and family should not care less about idiotic statements like that. We know who he is and what he has done for this country with no fanfare whatsoever such as the Fallen Patriot Fund which has given to date over 2.5 million dollars to injured soldiers and families of soldiers killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
There are countless other causes that go un-noticed except bythose he has helped and lives he has changed for the better.
So to those who confuse art with reality; to those who think theCIA killed Kennedy and that "Loose Change" is historical fact, take a big bite of American Apple Pie and hold it tight. You have a better grip onthat pie than you do the facts......

You will only see it here on CNN!\r\n\r\nFor security and legal reasons, we cannot post the report on our site but now for the first time, readers can see the main CMDR points prior to the plan''s implementation.\r\n\r\nWe have learned that CMDR stands for "Certificate of Minimum Dating Requirements."\r\n\r\nWe have also learned that this initiative is being pushed through in emergency session to address what has become an "epidemic" of guys who have no job or visible means of support showing up for dates with girls by bus or bicycle.\r\n\r\nThis plan will substantially increase used car sales and relieve a strain on public transportation and the pretentiousness of dating in general - something all parties feel is the breaking point. The plan would also ensure that there is 100 percent employment in the lowest tiers of employability such a fast food restaurants as part of her "ONE CHILD, ONE BURGER" initiative. It would also that all ditches that need dug are in fact dug.\r\n\r\nThe key element of this new legislation will be the formation of a national CMDR database. Inclusion in the database will be strictly voluntary. In order to get in the CMDR Database, a guy or girl will have to do the following:\r\n\r\nProvide the database administrator with a current address, not a P.O. Box as well as proof of U.S Citizenship.\r\n\r\nAllow the database administrator to do a registered sex offender check.\r\n\r\nProvide the database administrator with a current title to a vehicle at least equivalent to minimum buy-in BMW.\r\n\r\nProvide the database administrator with two current pay stubs evidencing a salary of at least $50K per year.\r\n\r\nProvide documentation that you are not married and do not live with your parents.\r\n\r\nTo be in the database, you agree to update this information every three months. This information will be encoded into the driver''s license of all those who participate in the database. The database will charge a fee of $20 per month. This fee will provide a reader capable of reading the encoding on the driver''s license.\r\n\r\nWe have learned it will work as follows:\r\n\r\nLet''s say a girl meets a guy she likes. She has the legal right to ask if that guy is in the CMDR Database. If he isn''t, the girl can assume that he probably does not own a car or takes the bus to pick up dates, is unemployed and may be a registered sex offender. \r\n\r\nIf you do not own a car because of you live an enumerated major city, you can apply for a "Big Apple Exemption" from the vehicle requirement.\r\n\r\nIf the guy is in the database, the girl may scan his driver''s license through the reader and the display will show what kind of car he drives, his sex offender status, and how much he makes per year. She may then make an intelligent decision on whether to go on a date with him.\r\n\r\nBoth Republicans and Democrats feel this new initiative will force complete losers who show up for their dates on bikes and buses to go buy a car. It is also felt that this will drastically reduce the number of perverts and $30K a year millionaires asking out unsuspecting women.\r\n\r\nIn order to encourage inclusion in the new CMDR Database, it was announced that the first 1,000 people will get a free "No Deadbeats" credit check!\r\n\r\nWhen confronted with the leaked version of the initiative the Hillary Clinton responded with the following statement:\r\n\r\n". Most females agreed with the bedrock conservative premise that, dating toothless unemployed losers without cars and who live with their mommies and daddies was a major problem in today''s society and action needed to be taken. "\r\n\r\n""Taking your date to McDonalds by bus or bicycle is not the answer to our problems - it is the problem.""\r\n\r\n"I believe that as a movement, we have veered off course into the dangerous and uncharted waters of settling for the hot bodied pool boy with the bus pass versus sacrificing some looks for the comfort and security of a guy holding a CMDR.".\r\n\r\nSenator Clinton was also quoted as saying "better a hunchback with a Beemer than a pool boy with a bus pass. It worked for me..... "\r\n\r\nSenator Barack Obama when asked about the plan stated that he could not support a plan that did not include substantial tax credits from automakers and auto-lenders that would allow all unemployed geeks to qualify for a CMDR. He noted that he had just made the last payment on his 1980 BMW.\r\n\r\nJohn McCain, when confronted with the proposal stated that while he agreed that something needed to be done about unemployed geeks, he felt that they were an unnecessary drain on the economy. He recommended military conscription for those who could not obtain a CMDR. He pointed out that they would be employable when they came out and who didn''t want to date a man in uniform? When pressed to elaborate, he pointed out that he had found a hottie young enough to be his daughter but admitted that he already had a Beemer when he snagged her.....', 'HILLARY SWINGS FOR THE FENCES', 0, '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'hillary-swings-for-the-fences', '', '', '2008-03-06 21:56:13', '2008-03-06 21:56:13', '', 0, 'http://briancuban.com/?p=74', 0, 'post', '', 2);

Debbie was left permanently brain damaged and will need life time care.\r\n\r\nDebbie was covered under Wal-Mart''s health insurance coverage which paid her bills to the tune of $470,000. She also settled with the trucking company for One Million Dollars. Wal-Mart then asked Debbie for its share of the money from the settlement to recoup what it had paid under her health insurance. As Debbie needed that money for future long term care, she refused to turn it over.\r\n\r\nWal-Mart proceeded to sue Debbie pursuant to a subrogation clause in her health insurance policy. This clause is in pretty much all health insurance policies. It allows Wal-Mart to recover any expenses they paid out under the policy from any responsible party if the injury was the result of someone else''s negligence. In this case, the party they would want the money back from would be the trucking company who paid out its policy limits to Debbie. The court sided with Wal-Mart. Debbie had to give some of the money back. Outrage ensued, letters were written, op-eds flooded major news publications, and blogs exploded media Christmas lights lit up worldwide. A tipping point was reached. Pursuant to the Tipping Point Playbook, Wal-Mart relented, controlled the spin and said they would sin no more going forward.What is a tipping point? A tipping point is the point where momentum for change becomes unstoppable.\r\n\r\nWhat is the tipping point playbook? The tipping point playbook allows Wal-Mart to act non-emotionally in any situation no matter how heart wrenching the situation or devastating the result on the nameless employee until a "tipping point" or "critical mass " is met. When this happens the Wal-Mart magically transforms from the antiseptic non-feeling, bureaucracy methodically walking over the backs of employees to a better bottom line to a reincarnation of Walt Disney World where employees are king combined with a "gee gosh, how did that happen press release".\r\n\r\nHow does Wal-Mart know when the tipping point is hit and they need to take a different public position? It is hard to say. A lot has been written about this phenomenon starting with Malcolm Gladwells book, The Tipping Point.\r\n\r\nLet us take the Debbie Shank case as an example. It was certainly not reached when they asked for the money back. It was not reached when they sued her. It was not reached when a few regional publications picked up her story. It was reached when that mysterious DIGG algorithm point was met where all of a sudden the story was spreading through the internet and news services like wildfire. That is the tipping point. It was at that point where Wal-Mart decided that they would lose more money in negative image than they would save taking 400 grand from poor Debbie Shank\r\n\r\nDon''t kid yourself; this was not about good will to Debbie Shank. It was a tipping point business decision by Wal-Mart nothing more. What is that point where everything cascades in the other direction towards lost profits to Wal-Mart because of bad press? Despite Wal-Mart''s claims of new "flexibility" in these decisions, the next person in the same situation will be treated the exact same way. Why? The next person will be treated the same way because no tipping point as been reached. The tipping point will certainly be set lower for the next person.\r\n\r\nSo again what is the Wal-Mart tipping point playbook? It is simply the point where public perception gives a name and a face to whomever neck their foot happens to be on. It is a bottom line dollar point to Wal-Mart where it becomes cheaper or even profitable to change their public stance on a given issue... They are experts at determining when that is and changing direction 180 degrees on a dime with a spin control machine that probably matches Hillary Clintons.\r\n\r\nDo you think Wal-Mart is really a sincere apologetic do-gooder here? I don''t. They simply reached critical mass in public opinion where it is more profitable to be the good guy.\r\n\r\nSuch is the tipping point playbook.

\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
2. Monogamy goes against a billion years of evolution. There is a basic biological drive to have more than one mate. We forget that we are animals on this planet as thousands of other species who have the same drive which is to reproduce. The point was made that it is our ability to reason and define a moral code that separates us from the pack. We are however using that reason to fight against the drive of evolution....
\r\n
\r\n

3. Males are more likely to cheat. Why? Because we can.... Biologically we are better "equipped" than women to have sex more frequently. When you combine that with the basic drive, the male needs all the reason and moral code he can get......

I generally however keep my mouth shut as most things he blogs about because I don''t have the background or experience to give me any credibility in my opinion.\r\n\r\nHence the key word again, opinion......\r\n\r\nI blog on things that cause an emotional rise in me. There are exceptions but I generally blog on things that I feel my educational, occupational background or personal experience give me credibility to talk about or it is such a general issue that anyone has credibility to talk about it. If you look at the variety of things I offer my opinion about in my blogs, they are generally law, satire or social or simple personal observations..... Wait, there is that dam word again..... opinion.....\r\n\r\nI love to blog. I put out about 3-4 pieces a week on the average. Blogging saves me a ton of money I would be spending on therapy......I don''t know a lot about much but I have a lot of opinions. Wait.... There it is again.....that pesky word..."opinion".\r\n\r\nBloggers, including myself, do nothing more than offer opinions and personal observations. Including myself. Our content is basically op-eds. We are not subject to any educational requirements, standards of content or accountability. There are journalists that blog, but again, there is a huge difference between what they put out with their "journalist hat" on and their blogger hat.... The biggest difference is accountability on multiple levels as a journalist. Their next meal may count on living up to those accountability standards. Journalists are fired all the time for failing to live up to those standards. Who fires a blogger? The only accountability bloggers have is that imposed on the general public by state or federal law not to defame anyone..... Frankly, I have a much bigger issue with journalist who blog because their status as a journalist gives their blog an air of credibility it may not deserve.... For that reason I feel that journalists have an ethical responsibility not to blur the line between opinion and journalistic content unless it is made very clear that they are stating opinion. You can''t have it both ways......\r\n\r\nCome on every one get over it....... If you want to be thought of as a journalist, get the education and pay your dues like real ones do.

We will not even talk about Kmart. It has sunk below completely irrelevant. It is not that it is not savable. It is more simplistic than that.

That is what Kmart is... a tear-down. The big difference is that a tear downs generally maintain its good real-estate value. That''s why you tear it down. Whatever you re-build re-coups the investment. The value of Kmart real-estate has been decimated. The precise thing that made Eddie Lampert look like a genius in is now an albatross around his neck.

Don''t Google the answer; I''m going to give it to you: Gene Cernan has the distinction of being the last human being to walk on the moon in 1972. The first was Neil Armstrong, who proudly proclaimed, "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" as he slowly left the Apollo 11 spacecraft for the lunar surface. And it was a giant leap. At the time, it was such an incredible technological advancement, the whole world was riveted. As a result, the world followed every step of the Apollo program, and our "race to space" with the Soviets. There are pivotal moments in the history of mankind when the world virtually stands still in awe. Neil Armstrong''s walk on the moon was one of those moments, as was the saga of Apollo 13.\r\n\r\nWho will be the first to walk on Mars? Will anyone ever walk on Mars? Does it even matter? With the state of the NASA space program, I predict it will be at least 100 years if ever without some precipitating event that accelerates the technology development. Some external force will be needed to take NASA off of the path of least resistance. What is scary is that the external force is probably not going to be anything that is good for the human race to create any sense of urgency in NASA.\r\n\r\nNinety percent of Facebookers were not even born when Neil Armstrong made his famous leap to the moon. I was too young to remember, but old enough to recall other Apollo lift-offs. I marvel at how my family and the entire world were mesmerized by the plight of Apollo 13, as the crew boldly and bravely triumphed over the adversity of a ship crippled by an explosion, and returned home safely. Keep in mind that at the time, there was no such thing as a space rescue.\r\n\r\nHow big was that leap in technology? There is really still no protocol for space rescues, although there are International Space Station scenarios if the crippled shuttle is able to dock. Why am I recounting ancient history?\r\n\r\nNot too long ago, President Bush stated that we would return to the moon in this century, when many predicted we''d never go back. Why would we need to? The moon cannot sustain life, and we simply do not have the technology to create a colony of researchers whose only mission is to explore for the sake of science, not to scout a future home for mankind.\r\n\r\nThe reason the Apollo missions were abandoned is that we simply had nowhere to go from there, as we didn''t possess the technology to advance the program. Instead, we shifted our emphasis to space exploration that was well within our technological ability and budgets, leaving the Star Trek visions behind us. Why keep returning to the moon if you don''t have the technology to benefit mankind? You can only bring back so many moon rocks. (I am old enough to remember when moon rocks were sold, and were all the rage.)\r\n\r\nWhy should we go back? Because scientists and President Bush know that assuming we don''t eliminate ourselves through war or other catastrophe, in the distant future the moon will be the only hope of mankind''s survival. Not because the population will migrate there to avoid extinction, but because the earth''s resources are finite, and at some point - whether it be 1,000 or 1,000,000 years - those resources will be gone. Unless we have the advanced technology necessary to live off the land and develop new ways to sustain ourselves, the human race will not survive. We should return to the moon for the survival of mankind - long after all of us are dead and forgotten.\r\n\r\nWe can''t have a race threatened with extinction start over from scratch. People are smart enough to know that we have to start laying the groundwork now for the distant future. I hope we go back to the moon in my lifetime, so that I may relive the incredible feats of the Apollo missions that bring tears to my eyes every time I ponder what they meant then, and what they mean now - our future as a species.

He asked me if I had ever heard of "intelligent design" I said there was no need to discuss it, I already had a nice refrigerator. Of course I didn''t say that but I will admit that given no context or the statement, I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. (Much to the chagrin of every teacher reading this blog)\r\n\r\nYou have to cut me a break. when I was going through high school science, most people reading this were not even born yet. I can guarantee you if intelligent design was mentioned in science class, every person in the room would have thought the teacher was talking about a new innovative dishwasher. Well now I know.\r\n\r\nIntelligent Design (ID) is the concept that "certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection.\r\n\r\nIts leading proponents are all affiliated with the Institute. They say that intelligent design is a scientific theory that stands on equal footing with, or is superior to, current scientific theories regarding the evolution and origin of life.\r\n\r\nAn overwhelming majority of the scientific community views intelligent design as unscientific as pseudoscience or as junk science\r\n\r\nIntelligent design''s proponents hold that living organisms are so complex they must have been created by a higher force rather than evolving from more primitive forms.\r\n\r\nSome want science teachers to teach that Darwin''s Theory of Evolution is not a fact and has gaps.\r\n\r\nThis is the crux of the debate. Should intelligent design be taught in classroom right with the law of evolution?\r\n\r\nIn Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District (2005), a United States federal court ruled that a public school district requirement for science classes to teach that intelligent design as an alternative to evolution was a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. United States District JudgeJohn E. Jones III ruled that intelligent design is not science and is essentially religious in nature.\r\n\r\nMost recently The Texas State Board of Education on approved public school curriculum guidelines that support the teaching of evolution in science classes -- but not intelligent design.\r\n\r\nIs intelligent design just a clever way of doing an end run around the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution? The attorney in me says absolutely and should not be taught in our schools. I compare to the attempted use of "junk science "in the courtroom. You can not argue fringe scientific theories in court. For a scientific mode of analysis to be admissible in court, it must be accepted by the general scientific community. It is what is called "The Frye Standard" That is an oversimplification of the standard but is the general gist. There is also another legal test called the "Daubert Standard" which is more complex and I won''t go into here. I could and may write a separate blog on whether Intelligent Design would be accepted or rejected as a scientific theory by a court of law.\r\n\r\nI just don''t think Intelligent Design Meets the above standards. It therefore should not be taught as if it is a "scientific fact" right next to Darwinism which is accepted as scientific fact. You can''t give it credibility it does not have. If you want to teach it in a separate class for what it is, I have no problem with that at all but any comparable reference to the theory of evolution in my opinion is a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I therefore feel that if we are going to allow it to be taught separately in our high schools, we need to be careful that those teaching it don''t have their own agendas.\r\n\r\nHere are some interesting statistics I came up with regarding the acceptance of Intelligent Design.\r\n\r\nA Zogby-Discovery Institute survey has recently been publicized, presumably in the interest of influencing state board of education biology textbook adoptions in Texas.\r\n\r\nBy nearly a five-to-one margin, 75% of Texas residents say the state board of education should approve biology textbooks that teach both Darwin''s theory of evolution and the scientific evidence against it.\r\n\r\nIs this a function of the "Bible Belt"?\r\n\r\nNote that these Zogby polls are often criticized for inaccuracy.\r\n\r\nSo what do you think?

The Department of Justice said it has filed a charging document against Paul Henss, a German citizen who lives in suburban Atlanta and who authorities say entered the U.S. in 1955 after hiding his concentration camp service.\r\n\r\nLast year a federal immigration judge ordered an 87-year-old retired carpenter deported to Ukraine for taking part in a police organization that helped the Nazis round up Ukrainian Jews during World War II. It was found that he played a central role in the murder of over 100, 000 Jewish men.\r\n\r\nIn January An appeals court on Wednesday ruled against accused Nazi guard 87 year old, John Demjanjuk, a decision that could bring the retired Ohio auto worker only one step away from deportation to his native Ukraine. Demjanjuk was once wrongly convicted of being the sadistic Nazi death camp guard "Ivan the Terrible" and sentenced to death in Israel. The Israeli Supreme Court later overturned the conviction, saying another man was probably "Ivan," a sadistic guard at the Treblinka death camp where 870,000 people died. He was stripped of his U.S. citizenship again in 2002, with a judge ruling that he had worked as a guard at other death camps.\r\n\r\nIn, 2004 Assistant Attorney General Christopher A. Wray of the Criminal Division announced today that the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security have initiated removal proceedings in Elizabeth, New Jersey, to deport Jakob "Jack" Reimer, 86, a retired New York City-area businessman living in Fort Lee, for his involvement in a wartime Nazi massacre of unarmed Jewish civilians and his participation in the brutal liquidation of the Jewish ghettos in Warsaw and Czestochowa, Poland.\r\n\r\nA German woman named Elfriede Rinkel had led a quiet life in America for over 40 years -- with her Jewish husband. But now she''s been deported for lying about her job as a dog handler at the Nazi concentration camp at Ravensbrück. She kept the secret from her Jewish husband for forty-two years, living unobtrusively in San Francisco. But now that he''s gone, an 84-year-old German woman, Elfriede Lina Winkel, has admitted that she served as a guard at the Ravensbrück concentration camp during World War II.\r\n\r\nMost scholars agree on a figure of between 1,000 and 3,000 war criminals who have found haven in the United States since the war''s end. Most have already died, while those still alive are in their seventies or older and often claim poor health as an excuse not to stand trial.\r\n\r\nIn many cases they have children and grandchildren who are legal U.S citizens who will be left behind. Should this matter? Should we now have mercy on those whose atrocoties so transcended human rights that most were hanged or sentenced to long prison terms after the war. If your father was murdered while you were a child and the murderer is caught 50 years later, does the passage of time lesson the heinous nature of what was taken from you. What was taken from millions of Jews, Poles, Christians, Gypsies and others by a regime so viscous that to even invoke its name in many forms is a crime in Europe.\r\n\r\nDoes the simple passage of time mandate mercy? What about the existance of children, grandchildren and in many cases great-granchildren who will suffer if the person is deported to face justice in what is now a foreign country that the person has not been back to in over 50 years.\r\n\r\nIt was determined sixty years ago that there would be no mercy in the living world for those who committed these brutal and vicious crimes. This definition has not changed. The Geneva Convention and other international laws regarding war crimes has not been changed to provide absolution for genocide. Should age be a factor? Should a 90 year old who murdered in the concentration camps or who aided said genocide should not suffer any less penalty because he is 90, has children, grandchildren etc.? Should not that person be deported and tried under the same laws that resulted in the hanging and imprisonment of the Nazi''s tried and hanged at Nuremberg, Poland, the Japanese convicted of war crimes in British and Australian War Crimes Tribunals\r\n\r\nMy take?

How many people reading this know what "Safe Surrender" is? \r\n\r\nSince I won''t get an answer and wouldn''t expect to, I certainly won''t ask how many people reading this have taken advantage of "Safe Surrender". I am very embarrassed on two levels in not knowing what it is. The first is that I am an attorney so you would think I would know. Secondly, Texas was the very first state to pass "Safe Surrender" Legislation. \r\n\r\nFor those who don''t know "Safe Surrender" is a law which allows a mother of a newborn baby to basically drop that baby off within a certain time period after birth at an approved emergency station (firehouse, certain types of hospitals) and face no criminal liability for abandoning her child. This law generally does NOT apply to fathers. Is this a good or a bad thing? There are a lot of arguments on both sides.\r\n\r\nThere are no hard stats on safe surrender or abandoned babies in general other than related to HIV abandonment. It is estimated that approximately 20,000 babies of drug addicted or HIV positive women are abandoned every year. As of the writing of this blog, 47 states have "safe surrender" legislation in place which allows the mother to drop her newborn off with a designated third party and for all intensively purposes, walk away back into her now "baby free" life. Good or bad?\r\n\r\nTexas was the very first state to pass safe surrender legislation in 1999. (The Baby Moses Laws) It was passed "knee jerk" in response to a wave of baby abandonments occurring in the Houston area the year before. Well it could not have been too knee jerk. Look at all the states that followed suit.\r\n\r\nIndividuals usually make decisions to abandon newborns in part out of fear that others will discover the pregnancy. In response to this fear, safe haven laws are designed to explicitly or implicitly provide an anonymous way for parents to relinquish their babies. Only two states require havens to actively seek the identity of the babies'' parents, and 12 states specifically provide anonymity.\r\n\r\nExperience has also shown that individuals usually make decisions spontaneously and in situations of crisis soon after the birth of an unexpected or unintended baby. As a result, state laws usually restrict the age of babies that individuals can legally relinquish. The most commonly designated lapse of time between birth and surrender is 72 hours.\r\n\r\nProtection for parents who surrender their babies is another obvious\r\n\r\nThe American Civil Liberties Union has come out in favor of safe surrender in that these laws do not infringe on a women''s basic right to reproduce. They did have this to say however:\r\n\r\n"In general, we support the concept of safe surrender, but we have several words of caution. First, these laws provide an after-the-fact safety net, not a solution to the problems of unintended pregnancy or inability to care for a child. Virtually every case of infant abandonment signals that the health care and social service system has failed a woman and her baby, for surely a well-functioning system would enable a woman either to prevent unwanted pregnancy, to end it safely and early, or, if she decided to carry to term, either to keep her child or to place it, again safely and swiftly, for adoption. Moreover, it is not clear whether safe surrender laws will accomplish their purpose. No infants were surrendered under Texas''s law until December 2000, 17 months after the law''s enactment. And, since the law took effect, 13 infants in Texas have been illegally abandoned."\r\n\r\nI am amazed that for once I find myself in agreement with the American Civil Liberties Union. I have been often critical of them in taking a position of "being right for the sake of being right" without regards to the consequences and the overall effect on those affected by whatever issue they are challenging.\r\n\r\nWhile I morally view safe surrender as a cop out to parental responsibility and just another way for people to throw their problems on to the state but I also am pragmatic about it. I would rather the state bear the cost of hopefully helping a child be raised in a better adoptive environment than see that child raised into the same life of irresponsibility that its mother (and father if applicable) showed in abandoning it. If they would abandon their child to total strangers, doesn''t that indicate the type of life that child would have if no safe surrender was available? \r\n\r\nDoes this law promote sexual irresponsibility? Don''t know, can''t find any stats. I doubt it. I also doubt you will see any analogies on the level you are seeing of the "morning after pill" or the proposed mandatory HPV vaccination.\r\n\r\nOne thing that bothers me as an attorney, is what about the father? I have a real problem with a mother being able to unilaterally terminate a father''s parental rights but I think most statutes would address this issue and even if not..... better a searching father than a baby in the dumpster................

His grim warnings about the future of the world, his aide memoir on Israel and Iraq, his subsequent speeches and threats which he and his agents have launched, and the increase in the Iranian military budget and nuclear capabilities that he has announced, have all prompted a series of decisions by the administration and a series of consultations with the members of the NATO organization.\r\n\r\nIn the Middle East, as you recall, he intends to bring to an end, through the proliferation of nuclear weapons, first Israel''s right to exist and our legal rights to be in Iraq and other places in the Middle East and secondly our ability to make good on our commitment to the millions free people of Iraq to aid them in restoring democracy. That we cannot permit.\r\n\r\nWe are clear about what must be done -- and we intend to do it. I want to talk frankly with you tonight about the first steps that we shall take. These actions will and have required sacrifice on the part of many of ,our citizens, our children..... More will be required in the future. They will require, from all of us, courage and perseverance in the years to come. But if we and our allies act out of strength and unity of purpose -- with calm determination and steady nerves -- using restraint in our words as well as our weapons -- I am hopeful that both peace and freedom will be sustained.\r\n\r\nThe immediate threat to free men is from within the borders of Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran. But these world outposts are not an isolated problem. The threat is worldwide. Our effort must be equally wide and strong and not be obsessed by any single manufactured crisis. We face a challenge in the Middle East, but there is also a challenge in North Korea, where the borders are less guarded, the enemy harder to gage, and the dangers of communism less apparent to those who have so little. We face a challenge in our own hemisphere, and indeed wherever else the freedom of human beings is at stake.\r\n\r\nLet me remind you that the fortunes of war and diplomacy have finally freed the people of Iraq form the brutal Hussein dictatorship. We must not waiver.\r\n\r\nIran with its stated intent to wipe Israel off the earth and its proximity to the democratic free world is in a very real geographic position to carry out its'' threats of Middle East domination. This is not the threat of the Iranian people with whom we sympathize but of a self important leader with visions of world domination to the detriment of the Iranian people......\r\nWe are there as a result of our efforts to introduce a free and democratic Iraq to the world-- and our basic rights to be there, deriving from that mission; include both our presence in Iraq and the enjoyment of access across the Middle East. In this area we are committed to the right of the Iraqi people to determine their own future and choose their own way of life.\r\n\r\nThus, our presence in Afghanistan and Iraq and our access thereto, cannot be ended by any act of the Iranian government, Al -Qaeda or the Insurgency. The Coalition shield was extended to cover Iraq and other parts of the middle east -- and we have given our word that an attack upon that country will be regarded as an attack upon us all.\r\n\r\nIraq is -- as never before -- the great testing place of Western courage and will, a focal point where our solemn commitments, stretching back over the years\r\n\r\nI hear it said that the Middle East and particularly Iraq is militarily untenable. And so was Iraq in Desert Storm, so was Bastogne in World War II. And so, in fact, was Stalingrad. Any dangerous spot is tenable if men -- brave men -- will make it so.\r\n\r\nWe do not want to fight -- but we have fought before. We do not want our young men to die. Many have gone before them to defend freedom and democracy and to end tyranny. And others in earlier times have made the same dangerous mistake of assuming that the West was too selfish and too soft and too divided to resist invasions of freedom in other lands. Those who threaten to unleash the forces of war on a dispute over Iraq should recall the words of the ancient philosopher: "A man who causes fear cannot be free from fear."\r\n\r\nWe cannot and will not permit the Insurgents and those who oppose democratic free society to drive us out of Iraq, either gradually or by force. For the fulfillment of our pledge to that city is essential to the morale and security of Iraq, to the unity of the Middle East, and to the faith of the entire free world.\r\n\r\nInsurgent strategy has long been aimed, not merely at Iraq, but at dividing and neutralizing all of the Middle East, forcing us back on our own shores. We must meet our oft-stated pledge to the free peoples of West Berlin -- and maintain our rights and their safety, even in the face of force -- in order to maintain the confidence of other free peoples in our word and our resolve. The strength of the alliance on which our security depends is dependent in turn on our willingness to meet our commitments to them.\r\n\r\nSo long as the Iranian government, Iraqi insurgents and Al Queada insist that they are preparing to end by themselves unilaterally our rights in Middle East and our commitments to its people, we must be prepared to defend those rights and those commitments. We will at all times be ready to talk, if talk will help. But we must also be ready to resist with force, if force is used upon us. Either alone would fail. Together, they can serve the cause of freedom and peace.\r\n\r\nThe new preparations that we shall make to defend the peace are part of the long-term buildup in our strength which has been under way since the Iraqi Conflict began. They are based on our needs to meet a worldwide threat, on a basis which stretches far beyond the present Middle East crisis. Our primary purpose is neither propaganda nor provocation -- but preparation.\r\n\r\nA first need is to hasten progress toward the military goals which Coalition allies have set for themselves. In the Middle East today nothing less will suffice. We will put even greater resources into fulfilling those goals, and we look to our allies to do the same.\r\n\r\nThe supplementary defense buildups that I asked from the Congress have already started moving us toward these and our other defense goals. They included an increase in the size of the Marine Corps, improved readiness of our reserves, expansion of our air and sea lift, and stepped-up procurement of needed weapons, ammunition, and other items...\r\n\r\nThese measures must be speeded up, and still others must now be taken. We must have sea and air lift capable of moving our forces quickly and in large numbers to any part of the world.\r\n\r\nBut even more importantly, we need the capability of placing in any critical area at the appropriate time a force which, combined with those of our allies, is large enough to make clear our determination and our ability to defend our rights at all costs -- and to meet all levels of aggressor pressure with whatever levels of force are required. We intend to have a wider choice than humiliation or all-out nuclear action.\r\n\r\nWhile it is unwise at this time either to call up or send abroad excessive numbers of these troops before they are needed, let me make it clear that I intend to take, as time goes on, whatever steps are necessary to make certain that such forces can be deployed at the appropriate time without lessening our ability to meet our commitments elsewhere.\r\n\r\nThus, in the days and months ahead, I shall not hesitate to ask the Congress for additional measures, or exercise any of the executive powers that I possess to meet this threat to peace. Everything essential to the security of freedom must be done; and if that should require more men, or more taxes, or more controls, or other new powers, I shall not hesitate to ask them. The measures proposed today will be constantly studied, and altered as necessary\r\n\r\nAnd let me add that I am well aware of the fact that many American families will bear the burden of our goal to put an end to terror. Studies or careers will be interrupted; husbands and sons will be called away; incomes in some cases will be reduced. But these are burdens which must be borne if freedom is to be defended. Americans have willingly borne them before -- and they will not flinch from the task now.\r\n\r\nAs signers of the U.N. Charter, we shall always be prepared to discuss international problems with any and all nations that are willing to talk -- and listen -- with reason. If they have proposals -- not demands -- we shall hear them. If they seek genuine understanding -- not concessions of our rights -- we shall meet with them. We have previously indicated our readiness to remove any actual irritants in the Middle East in particularly Iraq, but the freedom of that city is not negotiable. We cannot negotiate with those who say, "What''s mine is mine and what''s yours is negotiable." But we are willing to consider any arrangement in Iraq consistent with the maintenance of peace and freedom, and with the legitimate security interests of all nations.\r\n\r\nWe believe arrangements can be worked out which will help to meet those concerns, and make it possible for both security and freedom to exist in this troubled area.\r\n\r\nFor it is not democracy in Iraq, but the situation in that entire divided country. If anyone doubts the legality of our rights in Iraq, we are ready to have it submitted to international adjudication. If anyone doubts the extent to which our presence is desired by the people of Iraq compared to their "slavery" under the brutal dictatorship of Sadam Hussein, we are ready to have that question submitted to a free vote in the Middle East and if possible, among all Iraqi people\r\n\r\nThe choice of peace or war is largely theirs, not ours. It is the insurgents, Al Qaeda and the Iranian Governments who have stirred up this crisis. It is they who are trying to force a change. It is they who have opposed free elections. It is they who have rejected peace in the Middle East and the rulings of international law. And as Americans know from our history on our own old frontier, gun battles are caused by outlaws, and not by officers of the peace.\r\n\r\nIn short, while we are ready to defend our interests, we shall also be ready to search for peace -- in quiet exploratory talks in formal or informal meetings. We do not want military considerations to dominate our thinking.\r\n\r\nWhile all of these efforts go on, we must not be diverted from our total responsibilities, from other dangers, from other tasks. If new threats in Iraq or the Middle East or elsewhere should cause us to weaken our program of assistance to the developing nations who are also under heavy pressure from the same source, or to halt our efforts for realistic disarmament, or to disrupt or slow down our economy, or to neglect the education of our children, then those threats will surely be the most successful and least costly maneuver in the history of the region. For we can afford all these efforts, and more -- but we cannot afford not to meet this challenge. And the challenge is not to us alone. It is a challenge to every nation which asserts its sovereignty under a system of liberty. It is a challenge to all those who want a world of free choice. It is a special challenge to the United States -- the heartland of human freedom.\r\n\r\nWe in the West must move together in building military strength. We must consult one another more closely than ever before. We must together design our proposals for peace, and labor together as they are pressed at the conference table.\r\n\r\nAnd together we must share the burdens and the risks of this effort.\r\n\r\nWith your help, and the help of other free men, this crisis can be surmounted. Freedom can prevail and peace can endure.\r\n\r\nThank you and good night', 'If John F.

The proponents of lowering the age argue that children are doing it anyways in an uncontrolled underground setting. This argument has been around for years.

Is this a good idea? I can think of three families of SMU students who would say absolutely not.....
\r\n\r\n
I was frankly surprised at the short shrift that had been given to the fact that last year there were 3 student drug overdose deaths on the SMU campus. The most publicized being the sad case of Meaghan Bosch who died after a drug binge and was found dumped in a port-a-potty in Waco, Texas 90 miles from SMU. Anomaly? Maybe..... Only time will tell. So far so good this year. I however subscribe to the theory that for every 3 that over dose there are three hundred using on a substantial level.
\r\n
Only passing note has been given this situation by the local and national media. I have not done any statistical comparisons but I suspect that three overdose deaths within the last year by kids under 21 years old on a major college campus is WAY above the norm. This again may be an abberation. Is SMU any different than other metropolitan private or public schools? Any better or any worse in terms of drug use? I don''t know.
\r\n
Maybe,...Maybe not.
\r\n
Iam an avid “hanger outer” at coffee houses. I am also an avid eavesdropper of coffee house conversations. Just the other week I was eavesdropping on two SMU students discussing this very issue.
\r\n
A young lady stated to her friend that she did not think there was a drug problem at SMU in that illegal drugs are used all over Dallas . The latter is very true. It reminded me of a question asked in my freshman logic class many years ago. The professor asked, “What does it mean if there is no correlation between two things?” The student answered, “It means two things are not correlated.”Needless to say the student failed that logic class. He did however go on to become one of the top trial lawyers in the country. That logic must have worked better in law school.
\r\n
Another time I was sitting in the same coffee shop next to a group of SMU students finishing up their studying. I heard one of them state :"It''s time to go get drunk...." It was 10 a.m.
\r\n
It is all quiet now. Maybe its the "there is no problem as long as its your child" syndrome....
"In Iran, we don''t have homosexuals, like in your country."

What a shock!\r\n\r\nBy TANYA EISERER / The Dallas Morning News\r\nteiserer@dallasnews.com\r\nThe mere fact that a 12-year-old girl danced nude at a northwest Dallas strip club isn''t enough to close its doors.\r\n\r\nThat''s because the city ordinance that regulates sexually oriented businesses does not allow authorities to revoke the license of such a business for employing someone under the age of 18.\r\n\r\nThe sixth-grader danced at Diamonds Cabaret over a two-week period late last year, authorities say. They also say they found a 17-year-old girl working in the club in January.\r\n\r\nDiamonds Cabaret\r\n"If they''re not shut down, it''s like they''re giving them permission to have underage girls dancing and working in that club," said the mother of the 12-year-old. The mother is not being named because her daughter, a runaway at the time of the incident, is considered a sexual assault victim.\r\n\r\nOperators of the Diamonds Cabaret at 2444 Walnut Ridge Street did not return calls for comment. Their sexually oriented business license expires in November.\r\n\r\nDemonica Abron, 27, who worked as a stripper in the club, and David Bell, 22, are facing charges in connection with the 12-year-old girl''s dancing in the club. Mr. Bell does not appear to have been employed by the club.\r\n\r\nPolice officials are continuing to investigate whether the club''s management knew she was underage.\r\n\r\nThe 23-page city ordinance does allow revocation of a club''s license if, for example, the club knowingly allows prostitution, the sale or use of drugs at the club, or if there are two convictions for sex-related crimes at the club within a 12-month period.\r\n\r\nThe department also can suspend, but not revoke, the license of an escort agency for up to 30 days if it has employed anyone under 18.\r\n\r\nBut the ordinance does not give the department similar power over adult cabarets such as Diamonds Cabaret.\r\n\r\n"There''s a laundry list of things we can use to deny or revoke a license, but having a 12-year-old dancing in their establishment is not one of the things that automatically enables us to revoke their license," said Lt. Christina Smith, a vice unit commander who oversees licensing of such establishments.\r\n\r\nThe mother of the 12-year-old girl said her daughter ran away in early November. She said the family frantically began looking and her husband finally found their daughter in late November. She was then interviewed by police.\r\n\r\nAccording to court records, the runaway gave the following account:\r\n\r\nMr. Bell and Ms. Abron, who went by the stage name ''Jewel,'' offered the runaway shelter. Mr. Bell told her that she would be stripping at a club called "Diamonds."\r\n\r\nMr. Bell dropped them off at the club one day and introduced her to a man named "David" in the club''s office.\r\n\r\n"Suspect David asked complainant if she had ever danced before, she said no," the court records state. "David" then gave her an application, which she filled out with a fake name. She also told him that she was 19.\r\n\r\nWhen "David" asked to see her identification, she told him that she didn''t have one. He told her to bring one when she came to work as a dancer.\r\n\r\n"Complainant couldn''t think of a fake birthday, so she told suspect ''David'' she forgot her birthday," the records state. "Suspect ''David'' gave her a funny look and told her she would have been born in 1988 if she was 19."\r\n\r\nA couple of days later, Mr. Bell drove Ms. Abron and the victim back to the club where Ms. Abron introduced her to a man named "Steve."\r\n\r\n"Suspect ''Steve'' told" the girl "to take her clothes off to see if she was too shy to dance nude," the records state. He told her she would have to pay a fee ranging from $10 to $30 each time she danced nude.\r\n\r\nShe danced that night and made about $100, of which she gave $30 to "Steve," the records state.\r\n\r\nThe court documents are unclear on how many nights she danced.\r\n\r\nThe mother of the 12-year-old says she believes the club must have known her daughter was underage.\r\n\r\n"I think they just didn''t care," her mother said. "She''s 12, but she''s got the body of a 20-year-old. All they were thinking about was the money she could bring in."\r\n\r\nShe said her daughter is now living with her grandmother in Arlington and again attending school.\r\n\r\nMs. Abron and Mr. Bell were indicted in late February on one count of felony sexual performance of the child in connection with making the 12-year-old work at the club.

If you believe the 2008 U.S. News and World Report Law School Rankings, attending my alma mater The University of Pittsburgh School of Law is becoming a “rank” proposition.“Pitt” dropped and astounding 17 spots from a very respectable ranking of 57 to an almost out of the first tier we are a strictly regional law school” ranking of 73.Now I understand that when you attend Harvard, Yale or Stanford law among some others, anything below you is “second tier” but living in Dallas it really pissed me off and bruised my ego that I can no longer say we are even as good as Southern Methodist University School of Law which which is well respected in Texas but like Pitt, very regionalized in terms of its national appeal.
\r\n
Having digested this drop of egotistic proportion and being of pissed mind and body I immediately fired off the following email to Dean Mary Crossley:
\r\n
Dean Crossley:
\r\nI am a 1986 Pitt Law Grad. It is my understanding that the new U.S. News rankings have us dropping approximately 30 spots? Is this accurate? What is the reason for this? It is very disturbing.\r\n\r\nSincerely\r\n\r\nBrian Cuban\r\nDallas Mavericks\r\n
Here was Dean Crossley’s response:
\r\n
Dear Mr. Cuban,
\r\n
Thank you for your email expressing your concern regarding the Law School’s recent drop in the rankings. I’m glad to have an opportunity to explain my understanding of why the School dropped from #57 to #73 in the rankings recently released by US News. This drop is deeply troubling for the Law School, primarily because it fails to reflect the sustained progress the School has made over the past decade and instead threatens to impede the School’s continued progress. I apologize in advance for the length of this email, but there is no short answer to your question.
\r\n
Unfortunately, a drop of 17 places in the rankings will suggest to some readers that something changed for the worse at Pitt Law over the course of a year. That is simply not the case. There have been no significant negative changes; if anything, the School continues to improve in terms of the strength of its faculty, the opportunities its graduates enjoy, and its visibility in the legal profession. A number of recent accomplishments provide strong, objective evidence supporting this assertion. In a September 2007 national ranking of law school faculties’ scholarly impact, Pitt Law ranked #21 – ahead of many schools in the US News top tier – providing objective evidence of the high quality of our faculty. Employment figures from the past two years have shown an increase in the percentage of our graduates accepting jobs outside of Pennsylvania: for the class of 2006 the rate was 37.2%, and for the class of 2007 preliminary data indicate a rate of 37%, with students taking jobs in 24 different states. These figures represent increases in out-of-state employment since 2004 (28.5%) and 2005 (26.6%), and show broadening employment opportunities for our graduates. The JURIST legal website – powered and edited by Pitt Law students – was named a top legal blog by the ABA Journal and in a ranking released earlier this year was the most cited of any blog sponsored by a law faculty member in terms of citations in law reviews. This recognition of JURIST attests to the School’s increasing, positive visibility within the legal profession nationally. In addition, in the past several years we have sustained or increased our progress in the areas of selectivity in admissions, bar passage rates, and recruitment of strong faculty members.
\r\n
Your email justifiably asks what accounts for the decline in the School’s ranking. The answer has more to do with how US News computes the rankings than it does with the underlying quality of the education the Law School provides. (If this email piques your interest in the flaws in the US News methodology, I encourage you to read a posting by University of Texas Law Professor Brian Leiter at http://leiterlawschool.typepad.com/leiter/2008/03/an-open-lette-1.html.) Without boring you with too many details, permit me to explain briefly the reasons for the decline. (This analysis remains somewhat preliminary because I am still waiting for US News to respond to my request for unpublished data they use in the ranking.)
\r\n
Nearly half of a school’s ranking is based on the results of two surveys regarding the quality of a school’s education program: the first (which counts 25% of a school’s total score) is a survey of legal academics; the second (which counts 15% of a school’s total score) is a survey of selected hiring partners at major firms, state attorneys general, and federal and state judges (the “lawyers and judges ranking”). While the Law School’s results on the academic peers survey have remained remarkably stable over the past seven years (at 2.8 each year on a scale of 1 to 5), its lawyers and judges score has fluctuated much more over those years, ranging from a high of 3.3 to a low of 2.8. Two years ago its lawyers and judges score was 2.8; last year it was 3.3.; this year it is 2.9. If I were convinced that the decrease this year reflected an actual drop in our reputation among this group, I’d be quite concerned. That said, this year as in past years only a very low percentage (26%) of judges and lawyers surveyed responded. So while we will keep working hard to improve Pitt Law’s reputation, I’m not convinced this year’s drop in that reputational score is cause for alarm.
\r\n
The downward fluctuation in the lawyers and judges score is one of two factors most responsible for the School’s fall in the rankings. The second, expenditures per student, is one where we rank lower than most of our competitors. Two years ago, the ABA changed its instructions regarding how law schools must report expenditures, and as a result, Pitt Law’s reported expenditures declined significantly. This change in expenditures reporting methodology does not reflect any change in the actual level of support we receive from the University or the resources we invest in our programs, and it fails to reflect the numerous benefits our students receive from attending a law school situated in a world class university like Pitt. Thus, with respect to this factor, a portion of the change in our rankings is attributable to a change in external reporting requirements, not any change in what we’re doing at the Law School. Although expenditures count nearly 10% of a school’s total ranking score, they are not published by US News, which makes it highly unlikely that reader of the rankings will understand the role that expenditures play.
\r\n
\r\n
These two factors played the largest role in producing the decline in the School’s ranking. Because so many schools are tightly clustered together in the range from the mid 30s to approximately #90, small changes in the information reported or the results of reputational surveys can produce wide upward or downward swings in the rankings.
\r\n
Thanks for your patience in reading this far. I hope I have demonstrated that the drop in our rankings has more to do with the rankings’ methodology than with changes at the School; nonetheless, I, along with the faculty and staff at the Law School, are concerned about the drop in the rankings and will be taking steps to try to improve those rankings because we realize that external audiences pay attention to them. We are committed to continuing to raise the quality of the Law School and to making sure that others in the legal world know about the good things going on here so that the School’s rankings will improve.
\r\n
Accordingly, while we will continue to focus primarily on our educational mission, the Law School will also keep taking steps to pursue more effective methods of getting the word out more broadly to external audiences about the high quality of the education here and of the attorneys who come out of Pitt Law. These steps will include working with University administrators and communications professionals, as well as looking at what other law schools are doing to publicize their accomplishments. We will also encourage our alumni to act as “ambassadors” for the School within the legal profession. We will continue to work hard to attract financial support from alumni and friends; these investments will permit the School to pursue high quality programming for its students, which will be reflected in higher expenditure levels and higher rankings.
\r\n
I hope this email clarifies the reasons behind the Law School’s drop in the US News rankings. Despite this very real disappointment, I remain quite bullish on the Law School and there is a sense of excitement at the School about how we in the Pitt Law community are working to move the School forward. Again, thanks for your expression of concern. I hope that you, as Pitt Law alum, will join us in our efforts to make Pitt Law the best that it can be and to raise its national profile.
\r\n
\r\n
Sincerely,
\r\n
Mary Crossley

Dean Crossley:
\r\n
\r\n
Thank you for your prompt and detailed response. I will read the article you suggested.
\r\n
\r\n
You have stated some numbers with regards to the acceptance of jobs outside of Pennsylvania. This is an area where I believe the drop in rankings will hurt Pitt the most. For better or worse rankings tend to be much more important for out of state jobs then for grads who stay in the area.
\r\n
\r\n
I feel this drop will pigeon hole Pitt as a "regional school" and we will unfortunately see a decline in the numbers you quoted.
\r\n
\r\n
While I cannot quantify it, rankings due in fact equate to a "degree value". A percentage drop is going to correlate to some degree with a loss in overall income opportunity to Pitt Law grads as well as revenue generating opportunities for the school.
\r\n
\r\n
I certainly understand that rankings have little correlation to the actual education our students are receiving but that is little consolation if they cannot get jobs nationwide... Let’s hope we can turn it around...
\r\n
\r\n
Sincerely

So is the University Of Pittsburgh School Of Law now a “rank” choice for attending law school?If you believe the U.S. News and World Report study it is certainly “ranker” than it was last year.
\r\n
What do I think?I absolutely agree with Dean Crossley that there is very little correlation between the report and the quality of education Pitt Law students received. I however believe she pays way to short shrift to the fact that these ranking for better or worse are the standard relied upon by law firms in their hiring decisions.This is especially true in national hiring. Everything being equal in terms of grades is the drop in rankings going to hurt Pitt Grad interviewing at a Pittsburgh based firm, probably not. Is the drop in rankings going to hurt a Pitt grad interviewing at a firm in Dallas, Texas?Unless by some chance the hiring partner went to Pitt, it will hurt... There are now 16 more schools better than yours. Pitt is further pigeon holed into the term every law school dreads… “A regional school”
\r\n
My advice to Dean Crossley…….Let’s not spend that much time trying to explain why we are an exception and the report is not accurate as it applies to us.We certainly thought it was accurate when we were top 50.Law School Rankings for better or worse are a big game with big stakes. Let’s figure out how to play it……

It was an article on whether it made sense from a marketing standpoint for a law firm to create a blog. It is worth reading. My take is this....\r\n\r\nBefore a law firm or any business makes a decision on whether to create a blog, it is critical that they come to a consensus definition of what a blog is and what "blogging" means to them. It can and will mean ten different things to ten different people. All you have to do is get on the web and randomly go through blogs to figure that out\r\n\r\nYou can click here for the Wikipedia definition of a blog.\r\n\r\nThe problem with law firms is that they have not figured this out. If it is a medium to large size firm forget it. They don''t have a clue. They don''t want to have a clue. Blogging is not politically correct and personal blogs are in fact either silently or openly discouraged unless the attorney is writing about his/her workout at the gym or posting photos from their latest vacation trip. If you want to see true blogging in the legal profession you almost without exception have to go to solo practitioners or small firms. Why? Big law firms want to protect what they have. From their perspective blogging can only cost them business. Small firms and solos want to go get what they don''t have and make and effort to understand what blogging can do to help that process.\r\n\r\nOne of the most publicized/controversial incidents involving legal blogging involved attorney Denise Howell and her blog Bag and Baggage. This is one of the most popular legal blogs out there. Denise expresses opinions and does not worry about being politically correct There is speculation over whether her blogging was a factor in her departure from Pittsburgh based firm Reed Smith, an old guard, large firm.\r\n\r\nYou can also go outside the legal profession to my brother Mark Cuban''s blog. No one will ever accuse him of holding back his opinion. This again how I define a blog.\r\n\r\nAre their large firms who have true blogs. Sure there are but they are hard to find. Do your own survey of large firm web sites. You wont find much. You will find firms that call something a blog\r\n\r\nWhat they end up doing is re-gurgitating cases, things other people have written and take no time whatsoever with any type of creative process.\r\n\r\nThen there are the law firms who claim they want to be on the "cutting edge" and spend all this money to put a great looking blog up. They realize you can not blog and be completely neutral unless you are going to blog on what you had for breakfast, how your workout was etc.\r\n\r\nThese firms become afraid of pissing potential or current clients off. They then revert back to regurgitating case law and re-posting legal articles.\r\n\r\nIf you are a law firm and unless you feel your audience is going to find what you had for breakfast interesting, blogging should mean expressing an opinion.

I encourage the children to both get involved with their school teams AND to respect Jewish holidays and Shabbat. So I share your enthusiasm for the self-discipline, the physical fitness, etc. that sports participation can bring one...................................\r\n\r\nHowever, please understand that Conservative Judaism as such will not invalidate Shabbat and Jewish law simply to facilitate our wants and desires. Family activities are wonderful, but I would start now to begin to offer alternatives before the real confrontation between parents and children might arise.\r\n\r\nLastly, once again, turn to your Rabbi for advice and guidance on what is and what is not appropriate for your children within the community programs."\r\n\r\nAh yes, that ticket to the future for all Jewish athletes, .ARCHERY! There is your answer, excel in archery and the Sabbath is yours! You can pretty much put an arrow in something any day of the week so why sweat the weekend......

The death to all pedophiles freight train sweeping the nation has stopped at the door of the United States Supreme Court in the form of Kennedy v. Louisiana which will address whether an individual can be executed for the rape of a child that does not cause the death of that child.The case was argued today before the United States Supreme Court.
\r\n
My home state of Texas has joined in arguing for the states right to determine its own capital offenses and against such punishment being “cruel and unusual punishment” Texas was the latest state to come up with a far reaching bill that would allow for capital punishment in certain circumstances where the rape of a child is concerned.
\r\n
The last time the U.S. Supreme Court came close to addressing this issue was the 1977 case of Coker v. Georgia in which the court basically stated that the death penalty amounted to cruel and unusual punishment with regards to the rape of 16 year old adult women.
\r\n
Here are some of the point-counterpoints on the issue with my take…
\r\n
ANTI DEATH PENALTY FOR CHILD RAPISTS
\r\n
1Execution is “cruel and unusual punishment” when applied to child rape cases because the Supreme Court already ruled that it is excessive in rape cases when the victim was not also killed.
\r\n
I believe that this will be an almost impossible hurdle to overcome and the law will be struck down on this basis.The Supreme Court has ruled on this and I believe that any argument that because the case involved an adult women and therefore leaves open the possibility that death is ok for a child rapist is “wishful spinning”I do not believe the court was making an age distinction here. They were simply addresses the crime and the punishment. They were saying we don’t execute rapists of any kind if a death did not result.If the court would hold otherwise would be to basically say that the rape of an adult is less serious than the rape of a child….I think adult rape victims would disagree….
\r\n
2.Executions for child rape mean the penalties for rape and murder are the same so an offender may be more likely to kill a victim.
\r\n
I don’t believe the court will give much weight to this argument.It is the same as arguing that capital punishment reduces the murder rate which is not true…. This would be an argument based on comparative statistics and I don’t think it was presented to the court in that way…
\r\n
3.Executing child rapists may make it more likely for some child sexual abuse to go unreported.
\r\n
Again this is a statistical argument that I don’t think will be given much weight by the court.
\r\n
4.Louisiana’s law, the subject of the case being argued today, is too broad because it could apply to any rape of a child under 12, not just the most egregious.
\r\n
This is an argument that Texas will be paying a lot of attention to.In my opinion the wide discretion prosecutors will have to seek the death penalty in a case not involving death is a fatal flaw in Texas own Jessica’s law which allows for capital punishment in certain rape cases. This can and will also give rise to claims that the law is being applied disparity to various minorities in ethnic groups which is a huge no no….I believe that the cruel and unusual punishment issue aside, if Texas version of the law is unconstitutional, it is in this area.
\r\n
PRO DEATH PENALTY FOR CHILD RAPISTS
\r\n
1.Execution is not necessarily barred by previous rulings as excessive for all rape cases, merely for the rape of an adult woman.
\r\n
This, in my opinion is a ridiculous argument.That is not what the court said or implied in Coker v Georgia. It is an argument hoping that the court is looking for a way to sanction child rapist executions….
\r\n
2.Violent rape of a child is particularly egregious and shows “a degree of manifest evil, that is qualitatively” different from other rapes.
\r\n
I agree it is a particularly heinous crime mandating a special place in hell for such rapists. It still does not matter. Who decided what is heinous enough for death? The prosecutor? Way too much discretion. Supreme Court won’t go for it.
\r\n
3.Society’s moral standards are evolving to recognize the horror and damage caused by child rape and impose stricter punishments on perpetrators
\r\n
Again, I agree but not the death penalty. Too much discretion involved. Won’t fly.
\r\n
Don''t get me wrong. I am all for tougher sentencing for certain types of child molestation crimes and repeat offenders. My concern is the situational morality.
\r\n
I certainly want death if it’s my child but if it’s your child, maybe death penalty is too harsh for the crime. That is situational morality.
\r\n
Trying to legislate the latest horrific crime of the day we see on CNN.com. Situational morality cannot dictate justice. The rule of law dictates justice. The Supreme Court said that many years ago when the southern juries imposing their own situational morality said they would only execute African-Americans for sex crimes. No whites would be executed. Situational morality this year mandates we execute the guy who molests your daughter. Situational morality in 10 years may mandate we execute the drunk driver who kills your daughter. Situational morality in 10 years dictates we execute you when you have one too many and kill someone in an accident.
\r\n
That is not justice or the rule of law. In this country, as much as we hate or want, we do not take a life where a life has not been intentionally taken or taken with such complete disregard for the risk of death that it raises to the level of intent. That rule of law applies to the scum sucking pervert who molests your child, the drunk driver who kills your child, the shoplifter, the jaywalker. It applies to me. It applies to you….
\r\n
I do want all child molesters off the street. I personally have no moral dilemma executing them.I however don’t want to look for the Constitution of the United States floating in the same sewer they are hiding in......
\r\n
That’s my take and opinion. One guy in Dallas, TX.
Hopefully the rest of this case will proceed in a more competent fashion than it started. It first appeared this case would end up going down as one of the most bungled murder investigations in history right there with the Duke Rape Case, O.J. Simpson and JonBenet Ramsey.
Sheriff Brown had had no shame in doing everything he can to make himself part of the story instead of focusing on gathering evidence and letting the story be told in court. This guy had had multiple news conferences of no investigative value, he has been on Geraldo, he has editorialized the evidence in a public forum, he as commented on the evidence, and he has done everything but keeps his mouth shut and doing his job. Sheriff Brown must have gone to the Mike Nifong school of Investigative Publicity. He obviously aspires to be "Chief Of Police''" Brown in some larger setting....\r\n
\r\n
The Onslow County Sheriff''s department had enough information to arrest Cpl Laurean not prior to the murder but soon after. The failure to take him into custody allowed him to escape to Mexico which effectively takes the death penalty off the table as he was caught in Mexico.
\r\n
Mexico will not extradite someone charged with a capital offense unless the death penalty is removed from consideration Real time decisions are always based on less than perfect information and mistakes are made but there is a huge difference between mistakes made in innocence and mistakes made in arrogance. Let’s hope that the arrogance and desire for "tabloid time" of Sheriff Brown has not damaged the ability to get a conviction.

\r\n\r\nSupreme Court Jutice Anton Scalia in an interview to be televised this week stated that he would reverse Roe v. Wade and whats more, the Constitution in itself does not prohibit or permit abortion. Scalia states that on a personal level he is anti-abortion and feels it should be banned by the states but it is simply not something that the federal government should be involved in.\r\n\r\n"On the abortion thing, for example, if indeed I were ... trying to impose my own views, I would not only be opposed to Roe versus Wade, I would be in favor of the opposite view, which the anti-abortion people would like to see adopted, which is to interpret the Constitution to mean that a state must prohibit abortion," Scalia told correspondent Lesley Stahl.\r\n\r\nIt is neither surprising nor unique that Scalia confirms that he is favors strict constructionism on this issue. This was well known about him but he is right. You can read and re-read the Constitution all you want. You will not find any reference to abortion, sexual orientation, or the right to privacy. Hard to imagine John Adams and Thomas Jefferson or James Madison discussing the right to back room abortions and same sex marriages in 1786. Is that not the whole point? Should what we imagine took place 220 plus years ago serve as the basis for federal intervention over states rights? If thats the case, I have a very vivid and creative imagination......\r\n\r\nBottom line is that we will never know what their intent was but we sure have spent a lot of time on speculating.\r\n\r\nWhat we have done over the last 220 plus years is to use the fiction of what we "think they meant" as a substitute for the political agendas and social morality of the moment and a federal "in loco parentis" in protecting us from ourselves on issues that are clearly not addressed in the Constitution and therefore the responsibility of the state and not the federal government. We then turn to the 14th Amendment and the all encompassing and saving word "due process" to justify each and every twist and turn of the Constitution our "Federal Parents" decide are in our best interest.... Thanks mom and dad but I have read the 14th Amendment and I still don''t see anything about a Federal right to privacy.....\r\n\r\n I can just see President Andrew Johnson saying, we need this amendment to address Civil War Rconstruction and oh yea, there is that abortion thing too.....\r\n\r\nI do recall something in the Tenth Amendment about rights not specifically reserved to the federal government being left to the states. I have looked and looked but I don''t see anything reserving the power to determine abortion rights to the federal government\r\n\r\nIf you listen to what Scalia has to say, it seems clear Roe is headed back to the states. Strict Constructionism will win the day here which is a good thing. Roe was terrible law. Not because I am for or against abortion but simply because there is no Constitutional federal right to privacy. This is not about pro or anti-abortion. It is about the simple issue of whether the state or federal government should be addressing these issues. Under a strict constructionist analysis, it is very simple.

Kidding.

According to Brazil: Bloggers united against WordPress.com ban by Global Voices, WordPress.com blogs are or soon will be banned due to a judge in Brazil ruling against a WordPress.com blogger featuring a YouTube video embedded in the blog of a couple having sex. 
I agree bloggers should have the right, and time, to defend themselves, which WordPress.com staff does provide, as long as the issue is between WordPress.com and the blogger directly, and/or another blogger. For instance, if a WordPress.com bloggers is found to be violating copyrights by plagiarizing content or violating the WordPress.com Terms of Service with advertising, they are often warned several times before the content, and/or the blog, is shut down. When possible, WordPress.com bloggers are given every chance to make appropriate changes, but if you are blatantly doing wrong, they have a fast trigger finger on the Delete Blog button, which is why WordPress.com continues to get the highest ratings and honors as a clean, splog-free blog service.
Get ready for Friday. Lorelle and Jeffro2pt0 will duke it out on the WordPress Weekly Show!
Not too long ago I took a deep breath and wrote the blog, My Year in Alcoholics Anonymous. The Blog talked about my thoughts and experience regarding my first year in the program and how I got there. My thought in writing it was the if even one person read the blog and it was the “tipping point” in that person going into the program and changing his/her life for the better, it was worth outing myself. 
\r\n\r\nIt was about a year ago today that I became a member of one of the most difficult and at the same time easiest groups to become a member of. It is a very exclusive club of people who all share one common goal and for the purposes of this club this is all we talk about and all we care about. It is a club that changed the direction of my life, clarified my life and probably saved my life. I count the members of this club as my second family....\r\n\r\nWhy is it the most difficult club to get into? Because you have to have a desire to stop drinking. Why is it the easiest to get into to? Because the only requirement for membership is a simple desire to stop drinking. Quite the paradox....\r\n\r\nIronically if you would have asked me a year and a day ago if I would ever become a member of this club, I would have looked at you like you were from Mars. Why? I was not homeless. I didn''t live under a bridge. I had a job and my family loved me. To be a member of this club, I had always thought you had to be a homeless, unemployed, crack smoking bum pan handling people for money at the local intersection.\r\n\r\nI had a great job, great girlfriend, my family loved me, a famous last name that got me into clubs, restaurants broke the ice in conversations where I normally would have stood ignored in corner being incredibly shy.\r\n\r\nAlong with all this, I loved to go out with my buddies. I would tell you what bar or club was the place to be on any night of the week. I would go out at least 3 times a week. This meant I was drinking at least three times a week. This never seemed like any big deal to me because all my buddies were doing the same thing. I was having a great time. Never had to wait in line anywhere. Never had to stand anywhere. Everyone wanted to buy me drinks. Why shouldn''t I always have a drink in my hand........ There was no one to tell me that going out drinking that many times and sometimes more a week is not a good thing no matter how hold you are or how you slice it. Then again, why should anyone have to tell me this? I am a grown man right? Frankly if I looked at all the stupid decisions I have made in my life-80 percent of them started with one of those nights out.\r\n\r\nAgain, its seemed no big deal to me because everyone I hung out with was doing the same thing. Completely socially acceptable in my book as long as I never strayed from those circles.\r\n\r\nWas I an alcoholic? Well if I was than all my buddies where as well. I knew that wasn''t possible so it was all good. In further rationalization, I noted to myself that I had not been convicted of DWI, never been to rehab, was employed, nice home etc. I had only changed my phone number 5 times in the last year which to me was completely normal. When I had to, I simply adjusted my moral plane to account for all drunken embarrassing acts and mouth openings so that was all good. I also never drove drunk which to me was the primary indicator of an alcoholic. I either had a driver or took a cab. Of course this just allowed me to party even harder when I went out since I knew I was not driving. The logic of a true attorney....\r\n\r\nSo what traumatic event happened that caused me to finally walk through those AA doors? I had a blackout. I went out for one of my normal partying sessions and the next thing I knew it was a day later. Could not remember one thing that happened. The first blackout I had ever had. Scary as shit to not remember and have people tell you what an idiot you were.... I knew other people who had alcohol blackouts and I always thought they were funny as shit.... When it happens to you and you start playing through all of the "what ifs" it loses its humor instantly.\r\n\r\nThat blackout was absolutely the best thing that has ever happened to me in my life...\r\n\r\nIf I had not blacked out that weekend in April last year, I would probably still be going out every night of the week, taking days to recover, not getting work done(I was lucky as shit that my brother was my boss), and basically standing still in time with no forward movement in any aspect of my life. I wont even address the "what ifs" that are a lot worse......\r\n\r\nThat blackout gave me the "moment of clarity" I needed to determine that enough was enough. It was time to live instead of exist.\r\n\r\nI found out when and where the AA meetings where. I walked to the front door, knowing I may be recognized, embarrassed and scared. I walked in. I was recognized, embarrassed and scared.\r\n\r\nI was recognized as someone who wanted to take control of his life and welcomed with a hug like I had been coming for years. I sat through the first meeting and listened to people just like me talk about their stories. They talked about lows lower than I could ever imagine. Many had lost everything. Many who had lost everything had started just like I did. Just out having a good time. A good time night out ending with wiping out a family while driving drunk....They talked about prison, being homeless, losing family, losing self, losing everything. Many also seemed like your normal successful people who you never would guess in million years. Many came from alcoholic families. Many like me, had no history at all in their family. Alcoholism is an equal opportunity disease.\r\n\r\nThey also talked about highs from sobriety that I didn''t think I would ever see. Great changes in their lives. People who had not taken a drink in 30 and 40 years and loving life. Believe me, when you are sitting at day one that seems like pipe dream.....There were lawyers, doctors, salespeople, engineers, actors, college students, high school students.... You name it , the group was represented.... Everyone had their own story. Everyone had the same goal... To stop drinking....\r\n\r\nThat first meeting I was given what is called a "desire chip" It is an AA coin that is an outward sign of an inward desire to stay sober for 24 hrs. It was suggested that I go to 90 meetings in 90 days so I did that as well. Sometimes I went to two meetings a day.\r\n\r\nStopping drinking was not the most difficult thing I had never done. Not by a long shot. It was the easy part. What was the hard part? The hard part was to acknowledge that if I wanted to stay sober I would have to make a 180 degree turn in my lifestyle. This meant acknowledging that if my party buddies were also not making that change, something had to give. It is always easier to take the path of least resistance and stay part of the group to avoid change. The path of the most resistance is to break ties with that and move in a different direction.\r\n\r\nNo one wants to be alone. Everyone wants to be part of a peer group. Everyone wants to be wanted. Your best buddy is not going to be your best buddy anymore if you don''t go out and get drunk with them...... Your true friends will always be there and do you really want the ones who base your friendship on your ability to party like a rock star?\r\n\r\nMaking that change was ten thousand times harder than not taking a drink. It was hard until I saw that 90 percent of the world didn''t live like that anyways. I didn''t know that because I only hung out with the ones who did live that way. I survived. The true friends stayed my friends. We found other ways to socialize.\r\n\r\nThe rest continued on without me. They continued on to the tune of one drug related suicide and overdose in the year since I quit drinking.\r\n\r\nI will be honest here. There are a lot of things about the AA philosophy that I have not bought into. Most people have heard of "The 12 Steps" A year into the program I am on step 3. I have been there for a while. I may never move to step 4. One thing I learned in AA was to figure today out and worry about tomorrow tomorrow. Nine times out of ten when tomorrow comes it is not near the disaster that it looked today and so what if it is. People who have never taken a drink deal with problems and tragedy all the time and they manage.\r\n\r\nMaybe it is the attorney in me, but I question everything. Have to know the background, research etc. That is tough in AA because so much of it is based on simple faith in the program. A year later I am still full of questions...\r\n\r\nI do have one answer however. The answer as to whether AA works. At least for me the answer is yes. The last year has been without question, absolutely the best most eventful, the most forward moving year of my entire life.\r\n\r\nMy name is Brian and I am a damm proud and grateful alcoholic.....\r\n\r\nFor anyone interested in the Dallas area, you can find a list of meetings here. For anyone living elsewhere, you can find the national AA web site here.\r\n\r\nPLEASE NOTE: I HAVE VOLUNTARILY CHOSEN TO BREAK MY ANONYMITY.

(NYC) In what appears to be a first in the history of the United States, various pro-death penalty groups including the one million member "Kill Him Now" pro-death penalty caucus have announced the first public execution taking place in the United States in over 100 years. The execution will be held along with a free concert in New York City ''s Central Park .\r\n\r\nWhile the list of performers at this gala event has not yet been announced, it is rumored that many of the country''s biggest rock and roll and country music stars will perform.\r\n\r\nInvestigative reporters did a "fly over" of the concert/execution site which has been under tight security due to heavy anti-death penalty protests and outrage. They were able to get photos of what appeared to be "gallows" and a seating gallery being constructed. These photos will be published shortly.\r\n\r\nRumors have been flying as to who will get to be the lucky "executioner" for this event, which is expected to break all national television ratings records. The Bush Administration today announced that a national lottery will be held to select the executioner. The only selection criteria announced was that the "winning executioner" had to be over 18 years old and a card carrying member of the National Rifle Association (NRA). When contacted, NRA spokespersons were delighted at this requirement and said membership has quadrupled since the announcement. The most compelling question has yet to be answered by the Administration.\r\n\r\nWhen asked about the identity of the lucky "executionee," President George W. Bush, who is vacationing at Camp David , declined to comment due to security concerns, but did state that all money from the lottery would go to fund the Global War on Terror.

So I came across this "anti-dating" web site called DontDateHimGirl.com\r\n\r\nIt is a site for scorned women to post about guys that have cheated on them, who are married, lied to them, etc. I admit I first went to the site to see if I was on it! Not that I think I am a liar or cheater. I think the general consensus would be that I am a nice guy (with some dissenters am sure) BUT in 7 out of 10 relationships that end for any reason, someone is going to be pissed and find a justification to blame the other person to bolster their self-worth. The next things you know either your photo is up on Don''t Date Him or you''re accosted by a camera crew from the television show CHEATERS in a Wal-Mart parking lot. Why is it you never see the Cheaters camera crew waiting outside of Nordstrom''s or Neiman Marcus??\r\n\r\nI of course went straight to the Dallas, Texas listings. In my single career in Dallas, I have known many, 30k millionaires, Mack daddies, serial daters, cheaters, schmoozer''s losers, boozers, druggers, muggers etc. There definitely was an entertainment value to seeing if any of them were listed on the site.... I know some guys that I would list myself just to protect unsuspecting female Dallasites...... Here are some of the examples of what I found in the Dallas listings....\r\n
Being an attorney, I had to laugh at the story about the web site FireGeorgeKarl. George Karl is the coach of the Denver Nuggets. These fire the coach web sites related to the coaches of sports franchises have become popular. There is even one out there called FireAvery.com. Avery Johnson is the coach of the Dallas Mavericks who are owned by my brother Mark Cuban. The absurdity of these sites and the notion that they have any effect on NBA decision making is self evident but hey, everyone has an opinion and the right to voice it as long as it does not cross into the area of slander and defamation.\r\n\r\nWhat I found funny about the FireGeorgeKarl site was the Coach Karl''s attorney, Brett Adams, of the law firm of Adams, Babner and Gitlitz also decided to voice his opinion by email sent to the owner of the site. I guess Mr. Adams never bothered to read my DATAPINBALL post about thinking before you hit send......... His email threatening to "sue the owner of the site into bankruptcy" pinballed to the expected path of least resistance...... The owner of the site did exactly what I would have done. He posted the email on his web site......\r\n\r\nWhat is ironic is that Mr. Adams impugned the quality of the web site owner'' life, asking if he had nothing better to do than to create such web sites.....\r\n\r\nMr. Adams obviously had nothing better to do than do take a three step process into legal idiocy....(Something every attorney has frankly done at one time or another including myself) The first step was to lose his temper over nothing at all; the second step was to write an email about it while he was still pissed; the third step was to hit send....\r\n\r\nTalk about reducing your reputation value! Once more time the point is made that attorneys, especially attorneys with huge egos, have zero sense of humor...... That email was not written out of rational legal analysis, it was not written out of rational desire to achieve it a legal result. It was written out of sheer ego and a sense of self inflated importance....... This is an ailment very common to the legal profession. Now I will concede that Mr. Adams may very well have been instructed by George Karl to take some action but I doubt that Mr. Karl dictated the specific action to take..... Ego combined with carte blanche is a dangerous combination.......\r\n\r\nI have a suggestion for Coach Karl. If he really wants to get results he should can Brett Adams as his counsel and retain the firm of Rabinowitz, Rabinowitz and Rabinowitz..... Three savage Jews that will tear the skin off you.... They kicked ass for Archie Bunker......\r\n\r\nSo let it be written.......

It is often entertaining to watch how the realities of litigation and law are blurred, butchered and disregarded altogether in the name of entertainment or dramatic license. Here is my review of the worst and best courtroom dramas I have seen. In order to be classified as a courtroom movie, an integral part of the movie must take place in a courtroom. The courtroom scenes cannot be simply incidental to the movie.\r\n\r\nI am judging courtroom validity, acting and entertainment value. It is possible for a movie to be totally unbelievable in terms of what goes on in the courtroom but be very entertaining and therefore on my list. These tend to be comedies. Liar Liar, Legally Blonde and My Cousin Vinny are all on that list. All very goofy from a technical courtroom perspective but I loved all of them. I understand that there are a ton of "best lists" out there relating to courtroom dramas. The American Bar Association puts out its own list. These are my personal rankings of movies I have seen.\r\n\r\nWorst Courtroom Movies:\r\n
The United States Supreme Court recently gave Texas and other states the go ahead to continue its’ “death machine” with its holding that the current method of lethal injection does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment... What remains to be seen is whether Texas will be the anomaly in its willingness to inject more lethal drugs as nationally executions overall dropped in 2007. Some states are banning executions all together coming to their own determination that lethal injection has its issues.
Is time travel science or science fiction? I have always been fascinated by the concept of time travel. Especially time travel into the past. Much to my disappointment when I read this article that most scientists agree that time travel to the past is impossible based on the laws of physics as we currently understand them.\r\n\r\nTraveling to the future is an easier one. Just travel into space at near the speed of light and depending on how far out you traveled hundreds if not thousands of years would have passed on earth when you returned while you would have only aged around the actual number of years you were gone or less. How do I know this is true? Einstein says so.... Of course in the course of human history it is well documented that there is always that point where everyone agreed something was impossible right up until the time it was made to happen. It is scientific evolution.\r\n\r\nSo if there was this quantum leap in human knowledge and time travel into the past was suddenly possible, should we do it? What are the moral, scientific and religous implications? Would we ultimately destroy ourselves? If you could travel back in time one time and change just one thing in human history, what would it be and what would the ramifications on history moving forward be....... ? By the way, was not travel to the moon at one time considered science fiction?\r\n\r\nread more | digg story', 'You Cant Travel Back in Time Scientists Say', 0, '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'you-cant-travel-back-in-time-scientists-say', '', '', '2008-04-22 18:16:31', '2008-04-22 18:16:31', '', 0, 'http://briancuban.com/?p=177', 0, 'post', '', 0);

Wesley Snipes is in court as I write this to be sentenced on his conviction of multiple counts of failing to file income tax returns. All of this stems out of a highly publicized trial in which Federal Prosecutors hoped to land a more serious conviction of conspiracy to avoid paying income taxes and tax fraud which are felonies. To show just how much more serious, his co-defendants were convicted on the more serious charges and are facing ten years in prison.\r\n\r\nThe lessor conviction at the times seemed like a major victory for Snipes but the true scope will be seen today as prosecutors argue that Snipes as a high profile tax scofflaw should be made and example of and be given the maximum sentence of three years in prison. Hard, real life prison time. Not a stay at "The Rules Don''t Apply To Me" rehab Hilton.\r\n\r\nAs expected there was a long line of celebrity friends who submitted letters to the court on Snipes behalf attesting to his "good character". The list includes Woody Harrelson, Goldie Hawn, etc etc. All saying what a great friend and great guy Snipes is. This is not unusual. Whenever someone faces sentencing on a serious crime, there are often letters submitted to the court on that persons behalf in the hope of convincing the judge to hand down the most lenient sentence possible. I would probably do the same if one of my friends were standing tall before the man....\r\n\r\nI just have to ask though if we sacrifice our own character when we step forward and ignore the very morals and "character" which we hope to possess and instill in our children. It is one thing to step forward and say your sorry for what you did but how can you step forward and in face of a verdict saying this guy is a liar and a cheat "but besides that he has "great character"........ When we step forward for Wesley and those similarly situated are we sacrificing our own character in doing so?\r\n\r\nIt reminds me of a case here in Dallas about two years ago. A former Dallas pastor by the name of Terry Hornbuckle was accused of the rape of several of his parishioners. During trial it was made public that former Dallas Cowboys and NFL Hall of Famers Emmitt Smith and Deion Sanders both sent letters to the grand jury basically stating what a great guy Pastor Hornbuckle was and what a great influence he was on their families. When I read about these letters, I was frankly shocked that both Emmitt and Deion would put themselves out there like that when this guy is charged with multiple counts of rape. Vouching for this guys "character".\r\n\r\nPastor Hornbuckle was convicted and is currently serving 15 years. Do you think Emmitt and Deion sent letters to the judge at sentencing. I may be wrong but I doubt it.\r\n\r\nThis is not a criticism of Emmitt or Deion. If he was my friend, I may have done the same.\r\n\r\nIt is just an observation on the word "character" . We throw it out there as it suits us. We define it to best self-promote our interests. We dilute it, abuse it, throw it , toss it, stomp it, kick it....

Box as well as proof of U.S Citizenship.\r\n\r\nAllow the database administrator to do a registered sex offender check.\r\n\r\nProvide the database administrator with a current title to a vehicle at least equivalent to minimum buy-in BMW.\r\n\r\nProvide the database administrator with two current pay stubs evidencing a salary of at least $50K per year.\r\n\r\nProvide documentation that you are not married and do not live with your parents.\r\n\r\nTo be in the database, you agree to update this information every three months. This information will be encoded into the driver''s license of all those who participate in the database. The database will charge a fee of $20 per month. This fee will provide a reader capable of reading the encoding on the driver''s license.\r\n\r\nWe have learned it will work as follows:\r\n\r\nLet''s say a girl meets a guy she likes. She has the legal right to ask if that guy is in the CMDR Database. If he isn''t, the girl can assume that he probably does not own a car or takes the bus to pick up dates, is unemployed and may be a registered sex offender. \r\n\r\nIf you do not own a car because of you live an enumerated major city, you can apply for a "Big Apple Exemption" from the vehicle requirement.\r\n\r\nIf the guy is in the database, the girl may scan his driver''s license through the reader and the display will show what kind of car he drives, his sex offender status, and how much he makes per year. She may then make an intelligent decision on whether to go on a date with him.\r\n\r\nBoth Republicans and Democrats feel this new initiative will force complete losers who show up for their dates on bikes and buses to go buy a car. It is also felt that this will drastically reduce the number of perverts and $30K a year millionaires asking out unsuspecting women.\r\n\r\nIn order to encourage inclusion in the new CMDR Database, it was announced that the first 1,000 people will get a free "No Deadbeats" credit check!\r\n\r\nWhen confronted with the leaked version of the initiative the Hillary Clinton responded with the following statement:\r\n\r\n". Most females agreed with the bedrock conservative premise that, dating toothless unemployed losers without cars and who live with their mommies and daddies was a major problem in today''s society and action needed to be taken. "\r\n\r\n""Taking your date to McDonalds by bus or bicycle is not the answer to our problems - it is the problem.""\r\n\r\n"I believe that as a movement, we have veered off course into the dangerous and uncharted waters of settling for the hot bodied pool boy with the bus pass versus sacrificing some looks for the comfort and security of a guy holding a CMDR.".\r\n\r\nSenator Clinton was also quoted as saying "better a hunchback with a Beemer than a pool boy with a bus pass. It worked for me..... "\r\n\r\nSenator Barack Obama when asked about the plan stated that he could not support a plan that did not include substantial tax credits from automakers and auto-lenders that would allow all unemployed geeks to qualify for a CMDR. He noted that he had just made the last payment on his 1980 BMW.\r\n\r\nJohn McCain, when confronted with the proposal stated that while he agreed that something needed to be done about unemployed geeks, he felt that they were an unnecessary drain on the economy. He recommended military conscription for those who could not obtain a CMDR. He pointed out that they would be employable when they came out and who didn''t want to date a man in uniform? When pressed to elaborate, he pointed out that he had found a hottie young enough to be his daughter but admitted that he already had a Beemer when he snagged her.....', 'HILLARY SWINGS FOR THE FENCES', 0, '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'hillary-swings-for-the-fences', '', '', '2008-03-06 21:56:13', '2008-03-06 21:56:13', '', 0, 'http://briancuban.com/?p=74', 0, 'post', '', 2);

Most people are familiar by now with the story of Debbie Shank, the former Wal-Mart employee who while employed by Wal-Mart was involved in a catastrophic auto accident with a semi-tractor trailer. Debbie was left permanently brain damaged and will need life time care.\r\n\r\nDebbie was covered under Wal-Mart''s health insurance coverage which paid her bills to the tune of $470,000. She also settled with the trucking company for One Million Dollars. Wal-Mart then asked Debbie for its share of the money from the settlement to recoup what it had paid under her health insurance. As Debbie needed that money for future long term care, she refused to turn it over.\r\n\r\nWal-Mart proceeded to sue Debbie pursuant to a subrogation clause in her health insurance policy. This clause is in pretty much all health insurance policies. It allows Wal-Mart to recover any expenses they paid out under the policy from any responsible party if the injury was the result of someone else''s negligence. In this case, the party they would want the money back from would be the trucking company who paid out its policy limits to Debbie. The court sided with Wal-Mart. Debbie had to give some of the money back. Outrage ensued, letters were written, op-eds flooded major news publications, and blogs exploded media Christmas lights lit up worldwide. A tipping point was reached. Pursuant to the Tipping Point Playbook, Wal-Mart relented, controlled the spin and said they would sin no more going forward.What is a tipping point? A tipping point is the point where momentum for change becomes unstoppable.\r\n\r\nWhat is the tipping point playbook? The tipping point playbook allows Wal-Mart to act non-emotionally in any situation no matter how heart wrenching the situation or devastating the result on the nameless employee until a "tipping point" or "critical mass " is met. When this happens the Wal-Mart magically transforms from the antiseptic non-feeling, bureaucracy methodically walking over the backs of employees to a better bottom line to a reincarnation of Walt Disney World where employees are king combined with a "gee gosh, how did that happen press release".\r\n\r\nHow does Wal-Mart know when the tipping point is hit and they need to take a different public position? It is hard to say. A lot has been written about this phenomenon starting with Malcolm Gladwells book, The Tipping Point.\r\n\r\nLet us take the Debbie Shank case as an example. It was certainly not reached when they asked for the money back. It was not reached when they sued her. It was not reached when a few regional publications picked up her story. It was reached when that mysterious DIGG algorithm point was met where all of a sudden the story was spreading through the internet and news services like wildfire. That is the tipping point. It was at that point where Wal-Mart decided that they would lose more money in negative image than they would save taking 400 grand from poor Debbie Shank\r\n\r\nDon''t kid yourself; this was not about good will to Debbie Shank. It was a tipping point business decision by Wal-Mart nothing more. What is that point where everything cascades in the other direction towards lost profits to Wal-Mart because of bad press? Despite Wal-Mart''s claims of new "flexibility" in these decisions, the next person in the same situation will be treated the exact same way. Why? The next person will be treated the same way because no tipping point as been reached. The tipping point will certainly be set lower for the next person.\r\n\r\nSo again what is the Wal-Mart tipping point playbook? It is simply the point where public perception gives a name and a face to whomever neck their foot happens to be on. It is a bottom line dollar point to Wal-Mart where it becomes cheaper or even profitable to change their public stance on a given issue... They are experts at determining when that is and changing direction 180 degrees on a dime with a spin control machine that probably matches Hillary Clintons.\r\n\r\nDo you think Wal-Mart is really a sincere apologetic do-gooder here? I don''t. They simply reached critical mass in public opinion where it is more profitable to be the good guy.\r\n\r\nSuch is the tipping point playbook. Not Wal-Mart''s invention but they run it to perfection', 'The Walmart Tipping Point', 0, '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'the-walmart-tipping-point', '', '', '2008-04-23 21:31:40', '2008-04-23 21:31:40', '', 0, 'http://briancuban.com/?p=138', 0, 'post', '', 3);

When is a blogger a journalist and a journalist a blogger.....?\r\n\r\nThe blogosphere has been afire with opinion on Mark Cuban''s decision to ban bloggers from the Dallas Mavericks locker room. I only know he has done this because I have seen the Google alerts on it coming across my Blackberry. I have not read his Blog Maverick post on it. Why? I really don''t care if bloggers are banned from the Mavs locker room. It is nothing that causes an "emotional rise" in me. I have a general sense that bloggers are pissed about it but have not spent much time reading their opinions on it. That is the key word here.... opinion.......\r\n\r\nI don''t always agree with Mark. Being his brother does not make me his yes man. I generally however keep my mouth shut as most things he blogs about because I don''t have the background or experience to give me any credibility in my opinion.\r\n\r\nHence the key word again, opinion......\r\n\r\nI blog on things that cause an emotional rise in me. There are exceptions but I generally blog on things that I feel my educational, occupational background or personal experience give me credibility to talk about or it is such a general issue that anyone has credibility to talk about it. If you look at the variety of things I offer my opinion about in my blogs, they are generally law, satire or social or simple personal observations..... Wait, there is that dam word again..... opinion.....\r\n\r\nI love to blog. I put out about 3-4 pieces a week on the average. Blogging saves me a ton of money I would be spending on therapy......I don''t know a lot about much but I have a lot of opinions. Wait.... There it is again.....that pesky word..."opinion".\r\n\r\nBloggers, including myself, do nothing more than offer opinions and personal observations. Including myself. Our content is basically op-eds. We are not subject to any educational requirements, standards of content or accountability. There are journalists that blog, but again, there is a huge difference between what they put out with their "journalist hat" on and their blogger hat.... The biggest difference is accountability on multiple levels as a journalist. Their next meal may count on living up to those accountability standards. Journalists are fired all the time for failing to live up to those standards. Who fires a blogger? The only accountability bloggers have is that imposed on the general public by state or federal law not to defame anyone..... Frankly, I have a much bigger issue with journalist who blog because their status as a journalist gives their blog an air of credibility it may not deserve.... For that reason I feel that journalists have an ethical responsibility not to blur the line between opinion and journalistic content unless it is made very clear that they are stating opinion. You can''t have it both ways......\r\n\r\nCome on every one get over it....... If you want to be thought of as a journalist, get the education and pay your dues like real ones do.

We will not even talk about Kmart. It has sunk below completely irrelevant. It is not that it is not savable. It is more simplistic than that.

Whatever you re-build re-coups the investment. The value of Kmart real-estate has been decimated. The precise thing that made Eddie Lampert look like a genius in is now an albatross around his neck.

Don''t Google the answer; I''m going to give it to you: Gene Cernan has the distinction of being the last human being to walk on the moon in 1972. The first was Neil Armstrong, who proudly proclaimed, "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" as he slowly left the Apollo 11 spacecraft for the lunar surface. And it was a giant leap. At the time, it was such an incredible technological advancement, the whole world was riveted. As a result, the world followed every step of the Apollo program, and our "race to space" with the Soviets. There are pivotal moments in the history of mankind when the world virtually stands still in awe. Neil Armstrong''s walk on the moon was one of those moments, as was the saga of Apollo 13.\r\n\r\nWho will be the first to walk on Mars? Will anyone ever walk on Mars? Does it even matter? With the state of the NASA space program, I predict it will be at least 100 years if ever without some precipitating event that accelerates the technology development. Some external force will be needed to take NASA off of the path of least resistance. What is scary is that the external force is probably not going to be anything that is good for the human race to create any sense of urgency in NASA.\r\n\r\nNinety percent of Facebookers were not even born when Neil Armstrong made his famous leap to the moon. I was too young to remember, but old enough to recall other Apollo lift-offs. I marvel at how my family and the entire world were mesmerized by the plight of Apollo 13, as the crew boldly and bravely triumphed over the adversity of a ship crippled by an explosion, and returned home safely. Keep in mind that at the time, there was no such thing as a space rescue.\r\n\r\nHow big was that leap in technology? There is really still no protocol for space rescues, although there are International Space Station scenarios if the crippled shuttle is able to dock. Why am I recounting ancient history?\r\n\r\nNot too long ago, President Bush stated that we would return to the moon in this century, when many predicted we''d never go back. Why would we need to? The moon cannot sustain life, and we simply do not have the technology to create a colony of researchers whose only mission is to explore for the sake of science, not to scout a future home for mankind.\r\n\r\nThe reason the Apollo missions were abandoned is that we simply had nowhere to go from there, as we didn''t possess the technology to advance the program. Instead, we shifted our emphasis to space exploration that was well within our technological ability and budgets, leaving the Star Trek visions behind us. Why keep returning to the moon if you don''t have the technology to benefit mankind? You can only bring back so many moon rocks. (I am old enough to remember when moon rocks were sold, and were all the rage.)\r\n\r\nWhy should we go back? Because scientists and President Bush know that assuming we don''t eliminate ourselves through war or other catastrophe, in the distant future the moon will be the only hope of mankind''s survival. Not because the population will migrate there to avoid extinction, but because the earth''s resources are finite, and at some point - whether it be 1,000 or 1,000,000 years - those resources will be gone. Unless we have the advanced technology necessary to live off the land and develop new ways to sustain ourselves, the human race will not survive. We should return to the moon for the survival of mankind - long after all of us are dead and forgotten.\r\n\r\nWe can''t have a race threatened with extinction start over from scratch.

I was talking to a buddy yesterday. He asked me if I had ever heard of "intelligent design" I said there was no need to discuss it, I already had a nice refrigerator. Of course I didn''t say that but I will admit that given no context or the statement, I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. (Much to the chagrin of every teacher reading this blog)\r\n\r\nYou have to cut me a break. when I was going through high school science, most people reading this were not even born yet. I can guarantee you if intelligent design was mentioned in science class, every person in the room would have thought the teacher was talking about a new innovative dishwasher. Well now I know.\r\n\r\nIntelligent Design (ID) is the concept that "certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection.\r\n\r\nIts leading proponents are all affiliated with the Institute. They say that intelligent design is a scientific theory that stands on equal footing with, or is superior to, current scientific theories regarding the evolution and origin of life.\r\n\r\nAn overwhelming majority of the scientific community views intelligent design as unscientific as pseudoscience or as junk science\r\n\r\nIntelligent design''s proponents hold that living organisms are so complex they must have been created by a higher force rather than evolving from more primitive forms.\r\n\r\nSome want science teachers to teach that Darwin''s Theory of Evolution is not a fact and has gaps.\r\n\r\nThis is the crux of the debate. Should intelligent design be taught in classroom right with the law of evolution?\r\n\r\nIn Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District (2005), a United States federal court ruled that a public school district requirement for science classes to teach that intelligent design as an alternative to evolution was a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. United States District Judge John E. Jones III ruled that intelligent design is not science and is essentially religious in nature.\r\n\r\nMost recently The Texas State Board of Education on approved public school curriculum guidelines that support the teaching of evolution in science classes -- but not intelligent design.\r\n\r\nIs intelligent design just a clever way of doing an end run around the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution? The attorney in me says absolutely and should not be taught in our schools. I compare to the attempted use of "junk science "in the courtroom. You can not argue fringe scientific theories in court. For a scientific mode of analysis to be admissible in court, it must be accepted by the general scientific community. It is what is called "The Frye Standard" That is an oversimplification of the standard but is the general gist. There is also another legal test called the "Daubert Standard" which is more complex and I won''t go into here. I could and may write a separate blog on whether Intelligent Design would be accepted or rejected as a scientific theory by a court of law.\r\n\r\nI just don''t think Intelligent Design Meets the above standards. It therefore should not be taught as if it is a "scientific fact" right next to Darwinism which is accepted as scientific fact. You can''t give it credibility it does not have. If you want to teach it in a separate class for what it is, I have no problem with that at all but any comparable reference to the theory of evolution in my opinion is a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I therefore feel that if we are going to allow it to be taught separately in our high schools, we need to be careful that those teaching it don''t have their own agendas.\r\n\r\nHere are some interesting statistics I came up with regarding the acceptance of Intelligent Design.\r\n\r\nA Zogby-Discovery Institute survey has recently been publicized, presumably in the interest of influencing state board of education biology textbook adoptions in Texas.\r\n\r\nBy nearly a five-to-one margin, 75% of Texas residents say the state board of education should approve biology textbooks that teach both Darwin''s theory of evolution and the scientific evidence against it.\r\n\r\nIs this a function of the "Bible Belt"?\r\n\r\nNote that these Zogby polls are often criticized for inaccuracy.\r\n\r\nSo what do you think? Should Intelligent Design be taught in our schools, if so why? If no -why?', 'SHOULD INTELLIGENT DESIGN BE TAUGHT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS', 0, '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'should-intelligent-design-be-taught-in-public-schools', '', '', '2008-04-22 01:33:08', '2008-04-22 01:33:08', '', 0, 'http://briancuban.com/?p=120', 0, 'post', '', 1);

The Department of Justice said it has filed a charging document against Paul Henss, a German citizen who lives in suburban Atlanta and who authorities say entered the U.S. in 1955 after hiding his concentration camp service.\r\n\r\nLast year a federal immigration judge ordered an 87-year-old retired carpenter deported to Ukraine for taking part in a police organization that helped the Nazis round up Ukrainian Jews during World War II. It was found that he played a central role in the murder of over 100, 000 Jewish men.\r\n\r\nIn January An appeals court on Wednesday ruled against accused Nazi guard 87 year old, John Demjanjuk, a decision that could bring the retired Ohio auto worker only one step away from deportation to his native Ukraine. Demjanjuk was once wrongly convicted of being the sadistic Nazi death camp guard "Ivan the Terrible" and sentenced to death in Israel. The Israeli Supreme Court later overturned the conviction, saying another man was probably "Ivan," a sadistic guard at the Treblinka death camp where 870,000 people died. He was stripped of his U.S. citizenship again in 2002, with a judge ruling that he had worked as a guard at other death camps.\r\n\r\nIn, 2004 Assistant Attorney General Christopher A. Wray of the Criminal Division announced today that the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security have initiated removal proceedings in Elizabeth, New Jersey, to deport Jakob "Jack" Reimer, 86, a retired New York City-area businessman living in Fort Lee, for his involvement in a wartime Nazi massacre of unarmed Jewish civilians and his participation in the brutal liquidation of the Jewish ghettos in Warsaw and Czestochowa, Poland.\r\n\r\nA German woman named Elfriede Rinkel had led a quiet life in America for over 40 years -- with her Jewish husband. But now she''s been deported for lying about her job as a dog handler at the Nazi concentration camp at Ravensbrück. She kept the secret from her Jewish husband for forty-two years, living unobtrusively in San Francisco. But now that he''s gone, an 84-year-old German woman, Elfriede Lina Winkel, has admitted that she served as a guard at the Ravensbrück concentration camp during World War II.\r\n\r\nMost scholars agree on a figure of between 1,000 and 3,000 war criminals who have found haven in the United States since the war''s end. Most have already died, while those still alive are in their seventies or older and often claim poor health as an excuse not to stand trial.\r\n\r\nIn many cases they have children and grandchildren who are legal U.S citizens who will be left behind. Should this matter? Should we now have mercy on those whose atrocoties so transcended human rights that most were hanged or sentenced to long prison terms after the war. If your father was murdered while you were a child and the murderer is caught 50 years later, does the passage of time lesson the heinous nature of what was taken from you. What was taken from millions of Jews, Poles, Christians, Gypsies and others by a regime so viscous that to even invoke its name in many forms is a crime in Europe.\r\n\r\nDoes the simple passage of time mandate mercy? What about the existance of children, grandchildren and in many cases great-granchildren who will suffer if the person is deported to face justice in what is now a foreign country that the person has not been back to in over 50 years.\r\n\r\nIt was determined sixty years ago that there would be no mercy in the living world for those who committed these brutal and vicious crimes. This definition has not changed. The Geneva Convention and other international laws regarding war crimes has not been changed to provide absolution for genocide. Should age be a factor? Should a 90 year old who murdered in the concentration camps or who aided said genocide should not suffer any less penalty because he is 90, has children, grandchildren etc.? Should not that person be deported and tried under the same laws that resulted in the hanging and imprisonment of the Nazi''s tried and hanged at Nuremberg, Poland, the Japanese convicted of war crimes in British and Australian War Crimes Tribunals\r\n\r\nMy take? Strip their citizenship(with due process) and send them back to where they came from to face the exact same due process and justice they would have faced just as the law existed at that time. If their home country chooses not prosecute them, that is their business, but they should not have refuge here amoung those that fought and died to save their victims.', 'NAZIS AMONG US', 0, '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'nazis-amoung-us', '', '', '2008-03-26 21:35:25', '2008-03-26 21:35:25', '', 0, 'http://briancuban.com/?p=121', 0, 'post', '', 0);

How many people reading this know what "Safe Surrender" is? \r\n\r\nSince I won''t get an answer and wouldn''t expect to, I certainly won''t ask how many people reading this have taken advantage of "Safe Surrender". I am very embarrassed on two levels in not knowing what it is. The first is that I am an attorney so you would think I would know. Secondly, Texas was the very first state to pass "Safe Surrender" Legislation. \r\n\r\nFor those who don''t know "Safe Surrender" is a law which allows a mother of a newborn baby to basically drop that baby off within a certain time period after birth at an approved emergency station (firehouse, certain types of hospitals) and face no criminal liability for abandoning her child. This law generally does NOT apply to fathers. Is this a good or a bad thing? There are a lot of arguments on both sides.\r\n\r\nThere are no hard stats on safe surrender or abandoned babies in general other than related to HIV abandonment. It is estimated that approximately 20,000 babies of drug addicted or HIV positive women are abandoned every year. As of the writing of this blog, 47 states have "safe surrender" legislation in place which allows the mother to drop her newborn off with a designated third party and for all intensively purposes, walk away back into her now "baby free" life. Good or bad?\r\n\r\nTexas was the very first state to pass safe surrender legislation in 1999. (The Baby Moses Laws) It was passed "knee jerk" in response to a wave of baby abandonments occurring in the Houston area the year before. Well it could not have been too knee jerk. Look at all the states that followed suit.\r\n\r\nIndividuals usually make decisions to abandon newborns in part out of fear that others will discover the pregnancy. In response to this fear, safe haven laws are designed to explicitly or implicitly provide an anonymous way for parents to relinquish their babies. Only two states require havens to actively seek the identity of the babies'' parents, and 12 states specifically provide anonymity.\r\n\r\nExperience has also shown that individuals usually make decisions spontaneously and in situations of crisis soon after the birth of an unexpected or unintended baby. As a result, state laws usually restrict the age of babies that individuals can legally relinquish. The most commonly designated lapse of time between birth and surrender is 72 hours.\r\n\r\nProtection for parents who surrender their babies is another obvious\r\n\r\nThe American Civil Liberties Union has come out in favor of safe surrender in that these laws do not infringe on a women''s basic right to reproduce. They did have this to say however:\r\n\r\n"In general, we support the concept of safe surrender, but we have several words of caution. First, these laws provide an after-the-fact safety net, not a solution to the problems of unintended pregnancy or inability to care for a child. Virtually every case of infant abandonment signals that the health care and social service system has failed a woman and her baby, for surely a well-functioning system would enable a woman either to prevent unwanted pregnancy, to end it safely and early, or, if she decided to carry to term, either to keep her child or to place it, again safely and swiftly, for adoption. Moreover, it is not clear whether safe surrender laws will accomplish their purpose. No infants were surrendered under Texas''s law until December 2000, 17 months after the law''s enactment. And, since the law took effect, 13 infants in Texas have been illegally abandoned."\r\n\r\nI am amazed that for once I find myself in agreement with the American Civil Liberties Union. I have been often critical of them in taking a position of "being right for the sake of being right" without regards to the consequences and the overall effect on those affected by whatever issue they are challenging.\r\n\r\nWhile I morally view safe surrender as a cop out to parental responsibility and just another way for people to throw their problems on to the state but I also am pragmatic about it. I would rather the state bear the cost of hopefully helping a child be raised in a better adoptive environment than see that child raised into the same life of irresponsibility that its mother (and father if applicable) showed in abandoning it. If they would abandon their child to total strangers, doesn''t that indicate the type of life that child would have if no safe surrender was available? \r\n\r\nDoes this law promote sexual irresponsibility? Don''t know, can''t find any stats. I doubt it. I also doubt you will see any analogies on the level you are seeing of the "morning after pill" or the proposed mandatory HPV vaccination.\r\n\r\nOne thing that bothers me as an attorney, is what about the father? I have a real problem with a mother being able to unilaterally terminate a father''s parental rights but I think most statutes would address this issue and even if not..... better a searching father than a baby in the dumpster................

His grim warnings about the future of the world, his aide memoir on Israel and Iraq, his subsequent speeches and threats which he and his agents have launched, and the increase in the Iranian military budget and nuclear capabilities that he has announced, have all prompted a series of decisions by the administration and a series of consultations with the members of the NATO organization.\r\n\r\nIn the Middle East, as you recall, he intends to bring to an end, through the proliferation of nuclear weapons, first Israel''s right to exist and our legal rights to be in Iraq and other places in the Middle East and secondly our ability to make good on our commitment to the millions free people of Iraq to aid them in restoring democracy. That we cannot permit.\r\n\r\nWe are clear about what must be done -- and we intend to do it. I want to talk frankly with you tonight about the first steps that we shall take. These actions will and have required sacrifice on the part of many of ,our citizens, our children..... More will be required in the future. They will require, from all of us, courage and perseverance in the years to come. But if we and our allies act out of strength and unity of purpose -- with calm determination and steady nerves -- using restraint in our words as well as our weapons -- I am hopeful that both peace and freedom will be sustained.\r\n\r\nThe immediate threat to free men is from within the borders of Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran. But these world outposts are not an isolated problem. The threat is worldwide. Our effort must be equally wide and strong and not be obsessed by any single manufactured crisis. We face a challenge in the Middle East, but there is also a challenge in North Korea, where the borders are less guarded, the enemy harder to gage, and the dangers of communism less apparent to those who have so little. We face a challenge in our own hemisphere, and indeed wherever else the freedom of human beings is at stake.\r\n\r\nLet me remind you that the fortunes of war and diplomacy have finally freed the people of Iraq form the brutal Hussein dictatorship. We must not waiver.\r\n\r\nIran with its stated intent to wipe Israel off the earth and its proximity to the democratic free world is in a very real geographic position to carry out its'' threats of Middle East domination. This is not the threat of the Iranian people with whom we sympathize but of a self important leader with visions of world domination to the detriment of the Iranian people......\r\nWe are there as a result of our efforts to introduce a free and democratic Iraq to the world-- and our basic rights to be there, deriving from that mission; include both our presence in Iraq and the enjoyment of access across the Middle East. In this area we are committed to the right of the Iraqi people to determine their own future and choose their own way of life.\r\n\r\nThus, our presence in Afghanistan and Iraq and our access thereto, cannot be ended by any act of the Iranian government, Al -Qaeda or the Insurgency. The Coalition shield was extended to cover Iraq and other parts of the middle east -- and we have given our word that an attack upon that country will be regarded as an attack upon us all.\r\n\r\nIraq is -- as never before -- the great testing place of Western courage and will, a focal point where our solemn commitments, stretching back over the years\r\n\r\nI hear it said that the Middle East and particularly Iraq is militarily untenable. And so was Iraq in Desert Storm, so was Bastogne in World War II. And so, in fact, was Stalingrad. Any dangerous spot is tenable if men -- brave men -- will make it so.\r\n\r\nWe do not want to fight -- but we have fought before. We do not want our young men to die. Many have gone before them to defend freedom and democracy and to end tyranny. And others in earlier times have made the same dangerous mistake of assuming that the West was too selfish and too soft and too divided to resist invasions of freedom in other lands. Those who threaten to unleash the forces of war on a dispute over Iraq should recall the words of the ancient philosopher: "A man who causes fear cannot be free from fear."\r\n\r\nWe cannot and will not permit the Insurgents and those who oppose democratic free society to drive us out of Iraq, either gradually or by force. For the fulfillment of our pledge to that city is essential to the morale and security of Iraq, to the unity of the Middle East, and to the faith of the entire free world.\r\n\r\nInsurgent strategy has long been aimed, not merely at Iraq, but at dividing and neutralizing all of the Middle East, forcing us back on our own shores. We must meet our oft-stated pledge to the free peoples of West Berlin -- and maintain our rights and their safety, even in the face of force -- in order to maintain the confidence of other free peoples in our word and our resolve. The strength of the alliance on which our security depends is dependent in turn on our willingness to meet our commitments to them.\r\n\r\nSo long as the Iranian government, Iraqi insurgents and Al Queada insist that they are preparing to end by themselves unilaterally our rights in Middle East and our commitments to its people, we must be prepared to defend those rights and those commitments. We will at all times be ready to talk, if talk will help. But we must also be ready to resist with force, if force is used upon us. Either alone would fail. Together, they can serve the cause of freedom and peace.\r\n\r\nThe new preparations that we shall make to defend the peace are part of the long-term buildup in our strength which has been under way since the Iraqi Conflict began. They are based on our needs to meet a worldwide threat, on a basis which stretches far beyond the present Middle East crisis. Our primary purpose is neither propaganda nor provocation -- but preparation.\r\n\r\nA first need is to hasten progress toward the military goals which Coalition allies have set for themselves. In the Middle East today nothing less will suffice. We will put even greater resources into fulfilling those goals, and we look to our allies to do the same.\r\n\r\nThe supplementary defense buildups that I asked from the Congress have already started moving us toward these and our other defense goals. They included an increase in the size of the Marine Corps, improved readiness of our reserves, expansion of our air and sea lift, and stepped-up procurement of needed weapons, ammunition, and other items...\r\n\r\nThese measures must be speeded up, and still others must now be taken. We must have sea and air lift capable of moving our forces quickly and in large numbers to any part of the world.\r\n\r\nBut even more importantly, we need the capability of placing in any critical area at the appropriate time a force which, combined with those of our allies, is large enough to make clear our determination and our ability to defend our rights at all costs -- and to meet all levels of aggressor pressure with whatever levels of force are required. We intend to have a wider choice than humiliation or all-out nuclear action.\r\n\r\nWhile it is unwise at this time either to call up or send abroad excessive numbers of these troops before they are needed, let me make it clear that I intend to take, as time goes on, whatever steps are necessary to make certain that such forces can be deployed at the appropriate time without lessening our ability to meet our commitments elsewhere.\r\n\r\nThus, in the days and months ahead, I shall not hesitate to ask the Congress for additional measures, or exercise any of the executive powers that I possess to meet this threat to peace. Everything essential to the security of freedom must be done; and if that should require more men, or more taxes, or more controls, or other new powers, I shall not hesitate to ask them. The measures proposed today will be constantly studied, and altered as necessary\r\n\r\nAnd let me add that I am well aware of the fact that many American families will bear the burden of our goal to put an end to terror. Studies or careers will be interrupted; husbands and sons will be called away; incomes in some cases will be reduced. But these are burdens which must be borne if freedom is to be defended. Americans have willingly borne them before -- and they will not flinch from the task now.\r\n\r\nAs signers of the U.N. Charter, we shall always be prepared to discuss international problems with any and all nations that are willing to talk -- and listen -- with reason. If they have proposals -- not demands -- we shall hear them. If they seek genuine understanding -- not concessions of our rights -- we shall meet with them. We have previously indicated our readiness to remove any actual irritants in the Middle East in particularly Iraq, but the freedom of that city is not negotiable. We cannot negotiate with those who say, "What''s mine is mine and what''s yours is negotiable." But we are willing to consider any arrangement in Iraq consistent with the maintenance of peace and freedom, and with the legitimate security interests of all nations.\r\n\r\nWe believe arrangements can be worked out which will help to meet those concerns, and make it possible for both security and freedom to exist in this troubled area.\r\n\r\nFor it is not democracy in Iraq, but the situation in that entire divided country. If anyone doubts the legality of our rights in Iraq, we are ready to have it submitted to international adjudication. If anyone doubts the extent to which our presence is desired by the people of Iraq compared to their "slavery" under the brutal dictatorship of Sadam Hussein, we are ready to have that question submitted to a free vote in the Middle East and if possible, among all Iraqi people\r\n\r\nThe choice of peace or war is largely theirs, not ours. It is the insurgents, Al Qaeda and the Iranian Governments who have stirred up this crisis. It is they who are trying to force a change. It is they who have opposed free elections. It is they who have rejected peace in the Middle East and the rulings of international law. And as Americans know from our history on our own old frontier, gun battles are caused by outlaws, and not by officers of the peace.\r\n\r\nIn short, while we are ready to defend our interests, we shall also be ready to search for peace -- in quiet exploratory talks in formal or informal meetings. We do not want military considerations to dominate our thinking.\r\n\r\nWhile all of these efforts go on, we must not be diverted from our total responsibilities, from other dangers, from other tasks. If new threats in Iraq or the Middle East or elsewhere should cause us to weaken our program of assistance to the developing nations who are also under heavy pressure from the same source, or to halt our efforts for realistic disarmament, or to disrupt or slow down our economy, or to neglect the education of our children, then those threats will surely be the most successful and least costly maneuver in the history of the region. For we can afford all these efforts, and more -- but we cannot afford not to meet this challenge. And the challenge is not to us alone. It is a challenge to every nation which asserts its sovereignty under a system of liberty. It is a challenge to all those who want a world of free choice. It is a special challenge to the United States -- the heartland of human freedom.\r\n\r\nWe in the West must move together in building military strength. We must consult one another more closely than ever before. We must together design our proposals for peace, and labor together as they are pressed at the conference table.\r\n\r\nAnd together we must share the burdens and the risks of this effort.\r\n\r\nWith your help, and the help of other free men, this crisis can be surmounted. Freedom can prevail and peace can endure.\r\n\r\nThank you and good night', 'If John F.

\r\n\r\nThis story was today''s Dallas Morning News and Speaks For Itself. I was unable to find much about Diamond Cabaret. When you Google Diamond Cabaret, several Dallas Myspace pages do come up. What a shock!\r\n\r\nBy TANYA EISERER / The Dallas Morning News\r\nteiserer@dallasnews.com\r\nThe mere fact that a 12-year-old girl danced nude at a northwest Dallas strip club isn''t enough to close its doors.\r\n\r\nThat''s because the city ordinance that regulates sexually oriented businesses does not allow authorities to revoke the license of such a business for employing someone under the age of 18.\r\n\r\nThe sixth-grader danced at Diamonds Cabaret over a two-week period late last year, authorities say. They also say they found a 17-year-old girl working in the club in January.\r\n\r\nDiamonds Cabaret\r\n"If they''re not shut down, it''s like they''re giving them permission to have underage girls dancing and working in that club," said the mother of the 12-year-old. The mother is not being named because her daughter, a runaway at the time of the incident, is considered a sexual assault victim.\r\n\r\nOperators of the Diamonds Cabaret at 2444 Walnut Ridge Street did not return calls for comment. Their sexually oriented business license expires in November.\r\n\r\nDemonica Abron, 27, who worked as a stripper in the club, and David Bell, 22, are facing charges in connection with the 12-year-old girl''s dancing in the club. Mr. Bell does not appear to have been employed by the club.\r\n\r\nPolice officials are continuing to investigate whether the club''s management knew she was underage.\r\n\r\nThe 23-page city ordinance does allow revocation of a club''s license if, for example, the club knowingly allows prostitution, the sale or use of drugs at the club, or if there are two convictions for sex-related crimes at the club within a 12-month period.\r\n\r\nThe department also can suspend, but not revoke, the license of an escort agency for up to 30 days if it has employed anyone under 18.\r\n\r\nBut the ordinance does not give the department similar power over adult cabarets such as Diamonds Cabaret.\r\n\r\n"There''s a laundry list of things we can use to deny or revoke a license, but having a 12-year-old dancing in their establishment is not one of the things that automatically enables us to revoke their license," said Lt. Christina Smith, a vice unit commander who oversees licensing of such establishments.\r\n\r\nThe mother of the 12-year-old girl said her daughter ran away in early November. She said the family frantically began looking and her husband finally found their daughter in late November. She was then interviewed by police.\r\n\r\nAccording to court records, the runaway gave the following account:\r\n\r\nMr. Bell and Ms. Abron, who went by the stage name ''Jewel,'' offered the runaway shelter. Mr. Bell told her that she would be stripping at a club called "Diamonds."\r\n\r\nMr. Bell dropped them off at the club one day and introduced her to a man named "David" in the club''s office.\r\n\r\n"Suspect David asked complainant if she had ever danced before, she said no," the court records state. "David" then gave her an application, which she filled out with a fake name. She also told him that she was 19.\r\n\r\nWhen "David" asked to see her identification, she told him that she didn''t have one.

It is a subject that has not stirred much public passion or election passion since President George Bush announced his famous or infamous "surge" in U.S. troops deployed to Iraq. It peaked with talk of war with Iran but as U.S casualties in Iraq have stabilized and started a downward trend, it seems a false sense of security has fallen over the American public. You can bet there is no sense of security within the troops themselves with multiple tours and basically what amounts to an internal draft.

I am not kidding on this one. In a recent survey of London youth, 25 percent believed that Winston Churchill did not really exist and was a "mythical figure" Don''t they teach history over there? Are there that many children not going to school? Are London youth simply so disillusioned and disaffected about their present that they simply can not related to or believe in any strong figures in their past.....\r\n\r\nWhile I am not an expert on English historical values, I would think that teaching their youth about a figure that played a large role in saving them from learning to "goose-step" would be a educational imperative\r\n\r\nAnyway you cut it such a stat should scare the hell out of them.

\r\n\r\n the other day (REAL MEN READ GLAMOUR!). I am skimming through it and I came to this article about this lady name Jennifer Binder. She was talking about her thoughts and experiences in having dated the multi-millionaire "ultimate big shot", disgraced former Enron big wig, Jeff Skilling, who has been convicted of numerous crimes related to the Enron collapse and is currently serving a 24-year, 4-month prison sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution, Waseca in Waseca, Minnesota.As I read the article, reading it occured to me that this Binder girl was really Ashley Dupre and Eliot Spitzer Five years removed.

"Jeff did indeed fly me to England for our first date; later he bought me jewelry and even helped with the down-payment on my house.\r\n\r\nTRANSLATION: My profession is a professional "gold-digger" I would not even look at you twice unless you had the "Gulfstream" waiting to whisk me off to an exotic location that went over one ocean or the other before we landed.\r\n\r\n2.

I was looking at an article on the Legal Marketing Blog entitled " To Blog or Not To Blog". It was an article on whether it made sense from a marketing standpoint for a law firm to create a blog. It is worth reading. My take is this....\r\n\r\nBefore a law firm or any business makes a decision on whether to create a blog, it is critical that they come to a consensus definition of what a blog is and what "blogging" means to them. It can and will mean ten different things to ten different people. All you have to do is get on the web and randomly go through blogs to figure that out\r\n\r\nYou can click here for the Wikipedia definition of a blog.\r\n\r\nThe problem with law firms is that they have not figured this out. If it is a medium to large size firm forget it. They don''t have a clue. They don''t want to have a clue. Blogging is not politically correct and personal blogs are in fact either silently or openly discouraged unless the attorney is writing about his/her workout at the gym or posting photos from their latest vacation trip. If you want to see true blogging in the legal profession you almost without exception have to go to solo practitioners or small firms. Why? Big law firms want to protect what they have. From their perspective blogging can only cost them business. Small firms and solos want to go get what they don''t have and make and effort to understand what blogging can do to help that process.\r\n\r\nOne of the most publicized/controversial incidents involving legal blogging involved attorney Denise Howell and her blog Bag and Baggage. This is one of the most popular legal blogs out there. Denise expresses opinions and does not worry about being politically correct There is speculation over whether her blogging was a factor in her departure from Pittsburgh based firm Reed Smith, an old guard, large firm.\r\n\r\nYou can also go outside the legal profession to my brother Mark Cuban''s blog. No one will ever accuse him of holding back his opinion. This again how I define a blog.\r\n\r\nAre their large firms who have true blogs. Sure there are but they are hard to find. Do your own survey of large firm web sites. You wont find much. You will find firms that call something a blog\r\n\r\nWhat they end up doing is re-gurgitating cases, things other people have written and take no time whatsoever with any type of creative process.\r\n\r\nThen there are the law firms who claim they want to be on the "cutting edge" and spend all this money to put a great looking blog up. They realize you can not blog and be completely neutral unless you are going to blog on what you had for breakfast, how your workout was etc.\r\n\r\nThese firms become afraid of pissing potential or current clients off. They then revert back to regurgitating case law and re-posting legal articles.\r\n\r\nIf you are a law firm and unless you feel your audience is going to find what you had for breakfast interesting, blogging should mean expressing an opinion.

\r\n\r\nBefore the ADL puts a hit out on me, I am Jewish. I know for a fact that I can''t play basketball. In fact you could probably make good money by wagering that I could not hold a dribble from one end of the court to the other...... with no one even guarding me....... If I told any team that I was not going to play on the Sabbath, the laughing wouldn''t stop until sundown of that next Friday.....\r\n\r\nThere are however many of the Jewish faith that play basketball. Are there any Jews even currently playing in the NBA? (David Stern doesn''t count)\r\n\r\nI am going to stereotype my own and guess that David Blumenthal of the Sacramento Kings is Jewish but overall all it appears we are much more adept at owning sports franchises than playing for them.......\r\n\r\nYou are certainly not going to see too many conservative or orthodox Jews playing in professional sports. If the guy sucks it''s no big deal but if he is any good and observant, he is not going to be that amenable to helping the team out from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday.......\r\n\r\nMoral, if you are going to recruit a Jew, be sure he/she is a reform or have your designated gentile for play those big Friday night and sat games......\r\n\r\nIt is actually not all that uncommon to read about Jews missing big weekend games due to observance of the Sabbath and there is often controversy. You have the competing interests of the schools, fans, teammates all of which put an enormous amount of pressure on those with strong religious convictions....\r\n\r\nI actually found just this subject discussed on the website ABOUT.COM. The question was whether Conservative Jews can participate in sports on the Sabbath. Here was the answer give by Rabbi Barry Dove Lerner:\r\n\r\n"Thanks for writing. First, I encourage you to speak with your Rabbi about this matter and other matters of Jewish law.\r\n\r\nPlease understand that I share your own sense of the importance of sports. In high school and college I participated in sports and I am still - to the best of my knowledge - the only Rabbi ordained in North America to have held a national championship and record in a NCAA sport - archery! And I taught archery at Camps Ramah for seven years to literally hundreds of campers of all ages. I encourage the children to both get involved with their school teams AND to respect Jewish holidays and Shabbat. So I share your enthusiasm for the self-discipline, the physical fitness, etc. that sports participation can bring one...................................\r\n\r\nHowever, please understand that Conservative Judaism as such will not invalidate Shabbat and Jewish law simply to facilitate our wants and desires. Family activities are wonderful, but I would start now to begin to offer alternatives before the real confrontation between parents and children might arise.\r\n\r\nLastly, once again, turn to your Rabbi for advice and guidance on what is and what is not appropriate for your children within the community programs."\r\n\r\nAh yes, that ticket to the future for all Jewish athletes, .ARCHERY! There is your answer, excel in archery and the Sabbath is yours! You can pretty much put an arrow in something any day of the week so why sweat the weekend...... He talks about offering alternatives to your children.... The next Jewish Pele?\r\n\r\nAs The Good Book Says.....

I saw this guy last year at a charity benefit. You''re a red neck. We get it. Get over it.....\r\n\r\n7. Mary Kate Olsen(actress-entrepreneur) 17 million. I always confuse her with Hillary Duff. When you are interchangeable you are overrated....\r\n\r\n6. Jessica Alba (actress) 10 million, Everyone agrees you are hot.... and what else........?\r\n\r\n5. Chelsea Lynn, (Television reporter-Alaska) 28,900 With a name like that she would do a lot better making porn.\r\n\r\n4. Any actor or actress on Desperate Housewives......\r\n\r\n3. Ashley Alexandra Dupree , amounts unknown, the call girl extraordinaire of Eliot Spitzer fame will cash in somehow although her prospects are dwindling by the day..... She should have taken the million from Girls Gone Wild while she could. Unfortunately for her there is now nothing left to the imagination. When guys have seen it before they pay for it, the fantasy bubble is busted and you are condemned to the ranks of the overrated.... The hottest most highly rated women always have their clothes on.......\r\n\r\n2. Trouble ( Leona Helmsleys dog), 12 million. Trouble the dog beats out Dr. Phil because unlike Dr. Phil at least there is documented theraputic value to holding her and you will probably see it coming if you are going to get bitten....\r\n\r\nDRUM ROLL PLEASE.... The NO 1 MOST OVERRATED AND OVERPAID CELEBRITY ON THE PARADE LIST IS......\r\n\r\nDR. PHIL MCGRAW! \r\n\r\n90 million\r\n\r\nDr. Phil is not only the most over-rated and overpaid talk show host(and thats all he is) in America. He is the most dangerous. He uses a facade of credibility he does not have to meddle in the lives of people already in a fragile state. He is not the first talk show host to do this but he is the most agressive about it. Everyone is familiar with his unwanted intrustion into the fragile life of Britney Spears. Most recently his show paid the bail for one of the girls charged with the now infamous" Youtube beating in an attempt to get her on the show. Who the hell does he think he is playing a life or death game with these young people.

It was reported in today''s Dallas Morning News that the Dallas City Council is finally prepared to discuss changes to the cities sexually oriented business laws after a 12 year old girl was discovered stripping and prostituting herself at a local Dallas Nightclub. In typical dysfunctional Dallas City Council manner, for whatever reason the new ordinance is being debated in "secret session". Meanwhile, the club where the 12 year old girl was working has remained open. One Interesting side note to the ordinance is a proposed six foot ''no touch zone" around strippers. The will certainly cause an uproar among the regular going "gentlemen''s club" crowd. I frankly never got the whole strip club thing. Then again I have never in my life purchased a skin mag either. I suspect there is a strong correlation between those who purchase them and regularly go to strip clubs. I would rather walk into a night club take my swing and be told to get lost rather than give some girl 20 bucks to fake nice when she wants to tell me the same thing....', '12 Year Old Nude Stripper Finally Forcing Change', 0, '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', '12-year-old-nude-stripper-finally-forcing-change', '', '\nhttp://briancuban.com/?p=125', '2008-04-21 19:22:02', '2008-04-21 19:22:02', '', 0, 'http://briancuban.com/?p=151', 0, 'post', '', 0);

Supreme Court Jutice Anton Scalia in an interview to be televised this week stated that he would reverse Roe v. Wade and whats more, the Constitution in itself does not prohibit or permit abortion. Scalia states that on a personal level he is anti-abortion and feels it should be banned by the states but it is simply not something that the federal government should be involved in.\r\n\r\n"On the abortion thing, for example, if indeed I were ... trying to impose my own views, I would not only be opposed to Roe versus Wade, I would be in favor of the opposite view, which the anti-abortion people would like to see adopted, which is to interpret the Constitution to mean that a state must prohibit abortion," Scalia told correspondent Lesley Stahl.\r\n\r\nIt is neither surprising nor unique that Scalia confirms that he is favors strict constructionism on this issue. This was well known about him but he is right. You can read and re-read the Constitution all you want. You will not find any reference to abortion, sexual orientation, or the right to privacy. Hard to imagine John Adams and Thomas Jefferson or James Madison discussing the right to back room abortions and same sex marriages in 1786. Is that not the whole point? Should what we imagine took place 220 plus years ago serve as the basis for federal intervention over states rights? If thats the case, I have a very vivid and creative imagination......\r\n\r\nBottom line is that we will never know what their intent was but we sure have spent a lot of time on speculating.\r\n\r\nWhat we have done over the last 220 plus years is to use the fiction of what we "think they meant" as a substitute for the political agendas and social morality of the moment and a federal "in loco parentis" in protecting us from ourselves on issues that are clearly not addressed in the Constitution and therefore the responsibility of the state and not the federal government. We then turn to the 14th Amendment and the all encompassing and saving word "due process" to justify each and every twist and turn of the Constitution our "Federal Parents" decide are in our best interest.... Thanks mom and dad but I have read the 14th Amendment and I still don''t see anything about a Federal right to privacy.....\r\n\r\n I can just see President Andrew Johnson saying, we need this amendment to address Civil War Rconstruction and oh yea, there is that abortion thing too.....\r\n\r\nI do recall something in the Tenth Amendment about rights not specifically reserved to the federal government being left to the states. I have looked and looked but I don''t see anything reserving the power to determine abortion rights to the federal government\r\n\r\nIf you listen to what Scalia has to say, it seems clear Roe is headed back to the states. Strict Constructionism will win the day here which is a good thing. Roe was terrible law. Not because I am for or against abortion but simply because there is no Constitutional federal right to privacy. This is not about pro or anti-abortion. It is about the simple issue of whether the state or federal government should be addressing these issues. Under a strict constructionist analysis, it is very simple. Either is is explicitly addressed in the Constitution or it is not. We are not trying to read the minds of people who lived over two hundred years ago.\r\n\r\nThis is not a question of whether abortion is right or wrong, its a question of whether the Federal Government has the right and authority to mandate whether it is right or wrong....\r\n\r\nWhat do you think?\r\n\r\n
