Apparently, if the law school just set every computer in the building to default to using Garamond as its type face, we'd save a ton of money on toner.
I've always thought Garamond was a pretty good-looking font, too. Not saying it's the best ever, not trying to start a font flame war, but nice.
So I see where WordCamp Miami is up and ready to go in mid-February (charging $30 (plus service fee) for tickets).
But what's the story with (free) Bar Camp Miami? Supposedly there will be a 2010 edition, but the BarCamp Miami web page is all 2009.
I hope it's still on. Anyone know what's up?
Quick summary of the theory underlying Citizens United v. FEC summarized in one photo:
Thus, just like a person's independent expenditures on politics can't be regulated, so too with a corporation's.
This is partly Daniel Webster's fault. And partly a power grab.
UM Anthropology Prof Edward LiPuma was the named plaintiff in a class action suit against Amex for overcharging on foreign payments. When the dust settled, there was a couple of million dollars left over, so the court allowed to money to go to local charities — including some to UM Law!
Daily Business Review: Dozens of charities and the University of Miami School of Law have benefited from the settlement of a class-action lawsuit that challenged overcharging American Express cardholders for overseas purchases.
A multi-state case pursued against the credit-card company in the name of Edward LiPuma, an anthropology professor at the University of Miami, ended in 2005 with a $75 million settlement. About $2 million was designated for so-called cy pres contributions, which are granted in class-action litigation when payments become unfeasible or funds remain after the claims process ends.
Beneficiaries included the law school, Legal Services of Greater Miami and several children’s advocacy groups.
The final contribution of $100,000 was handed out last month to the Lawyers for Children America, a nonprofit that provides bro bono legal representation for children who are the victims of abuse, abandonment and neglect. Another $100,000 was given to the Community Habilitation Center, a special education school in Miami.
Thank you to Ed, his fellow plaintiffs, class counsel, and Judge Altonaga.
This is the real cost of terrorism — or rather, of a surrender to the fear of terrorsim: Bomb Scare Diverts Plane to Philly. Yes, making the world safe from tefillin.
Osama & Co must be laughing themselves sick over this one.
Is there a good recent estimate, anywhere of the full cost of airline 'security'? I don't mean just the TSA's running costs, but the remodeling of airports, the extra delays for passengers, the extra inconvenience caused by the moving of parking and cab ranks away from terminals, and so on?

I'm maybe 75% done. Maybe.
