bringing wilmington to life
Wilmington, Delaware, is home to some of the largest financial institutions in the country. When Fortune 500 companies come together for their shareholders' meetings, they often choose the City's Hotel duPont as a gathering point. Revitalization efforts have brought a minor league baseball stadium to Wilmington, as well as a large number of outlet shops, and a riverfront with ambitions of echoing the success of Baltimore's Inner Harbor. But, the sidewalks of the city roll up after the business day is over. Getting some students to live in town is a tremendous move.

clemency in illinois
Amid a nomination for a Nobel Peace Prize, and the possibility of an indictment, the story of former Illinois Governor George Ryan is surprising in many ways.

Federal Judge Richard A. Posner reviews a biography of William O. Douglas called Wild Bill: The Legend and Life of William O. Douglas. I'll be looking for a copy of the book.

If you know someone who has something to do with putting together an appellate court web site, you might want to send them a link to the law.com article Do's and Don'ts for Appellate Court Web Sites. The author, Howard Bashman of How Appealing fame, knows a thing or two about building a better web site.

snow unsticking tip
As I was throwing all manner of heavy objects from my garage, into the trunks of my cars this morning, to give them extra traction, I ran accross a stack of replacement roofing shingles. What a cool idea! They should work nicely as traction strips in case I get stuck on a slippery roadway.

an epidemic of lawyers
I''ve heard of a school of fish, or a gaggle of geese, (other collective nouns here), but never an "epidemic of lawyers," as a the head of a New York legal assistance group recently referred to members of the profession. And, he's happy about it. The rate of volunteerism (NY Times, reg. req'd) for lawyers has skyrocketed in New York over the past year.

Well, we have dug ourselves out of the snow enough to get to work today. And now we have twice as much to do and half as much time to do it in.
