the program described here sets the person up with a social worker and mental health treatment is very high on the list of services to offer. But they can't coerce much if anything and some are extremely reluctant to participate in any

Just use Yakster -- Yak Saddle as a Service. They come to your house and swap it out for a fresh one every two weeks. Highly recommended.

glad I'm not the only one who went down that hole (pun very much intended) and started watching videos about the Reelwell Drilling Method and horizontal displacement techniques.

I disagree completely. That's not at all my experience. There are far too many lawyers who expect that when they get their bar cards, they're entitled to a premium wage just for showing up. The real work starts when you pass the b

actually at this stage of this litigation, the market is defined as whatever the plaintiff says it is. Because the issue here is standing to sue. The case will get to the definition of relevant market later on, assuming this standing hurdle

by mark212 8y ago
defining the relevant market is very frequently, if not nearly always, the most important question in an antitrust / unfair competition lawsuit. As your example points out.

by mark212 8y ago
true, but in antitrust terms the developer is still setting the price. Not Apple. It's the developer who makes it a free / freemium / $0.99 / $999.99 app. That pricing decision seems to be responsible for the circuit spl

Lawyer here. Opened my own practice after the 2008 collapse because no firms were hiring. Best decision I was ever forced to make.

I have a separate work space in the backyard, an entirely separate building with a view of some flowers and plants, and a door that locks. Walking to work (about 12 feet from the house) and closing the door behind me does wonders for my foc

try a 40" 4k tv hooked up to a decent video card. It's amazing -- enough resolution to put a ton of windows on screen and look at multiple reference materials while drafting text in a different window. But yeah, getting the displa

Compared with the California state courts, the USDC is awesome. But it's hardly a paragon of cutting edge tech with its Craigslist aesthetics and ridiculous paywalls. Try being on the user-side of it for a while, or better yet the real

I remain skeptical of that part. There are, however, plenty of cities in the US where the school district boundaries are drawn very precisely to enable the imposition of property taxes that support the schools. It becomes a sort of private-

An entire essay and, aside from the opening but about chili, not a single example of this “art form.” It’s like having an essay about Picasso without even one picture
