The Sunk Cost Fallacy: Help me!
August 23, 2012, 11:48:04 AM »
Working in the legal field sucks. Wait, that's not right. The legal field is so huge and diverse, that it can't all suck unless all work sucks. So let me rephrase: I hate my job and I think I'd hate at least 25% of all law-firm jobs.
So I have law school debt, and I make less than I made before law school. The long term financial outlook in the legal field is still very good, but it really sucks in the short term.
In summary, I hate my job, I'm bored to death, I have soul-crushing debt, I have a modest income, everything else in my life is going very well.
In addition to my law job, I teach college as an adjunct. I absolutely love everything about it, but the pay sucks.
So I'm deciding between forging on with my current career and going back to school for a Ph.D.
I understand there are many pitfalls with the professor path, but when evaluating my decision, should I consider my student loans and time investment as a sunk cost? In other words, is it rational to consider the time and money investment as a significant factor when I can make more money and be happier doing something that doesn't require a law degree?

A decision like this volves so many aspects of your life that it's difficult to offer any advice. My father is a college professor, and several of my close friends are full time tenured professors. Here are a few things I'd consider, however.
Employment prospects
Full time college teaching positions are very, very competitive to obtain. I'd say the market is even tighter than the legal market. My dad teaches at a non-prestigious state university. When positions open up, which is rarely, his department has the luxury of choosing from several hundred applicants. The people who get hired, even at his state commuter school, invariably have Ph.Ds from places like Columbia, Berkeley, etc., and are well published. One of my good friends got his Ph.D from UCLA and spent years teaching part time community college courses before landing a full time gig.
Like law school, your employability is tied to your pedigree, but it's worse. You can't be a solo practitioner college professor, and even small colleges can be very picky about hiring.
Do you like research and scholarly publications?
The Ph.D will not be enough. You'll need to publish like crazy in order to build up a reputation so that you can get hired. Many people like teaching but aren't thrilled with the peer review/publishing aspect.
Are you willing to live just about anywhere?
If so, you may have a better chance at employment. A small college in west Virginia will be less competitive than, say, NYU, but it will still be far more competitive than most people expect.
My views on Ph.D programs differ somewhat from my views on JD programs. Based on what I've seen, a Ph.D from a so-so university is probably not worth it. The field is simply too competitive.
The good news is that it's quite common to get substantial or full scholarships for a Ph.D. If they accept you, they'll probably offer you money.

Again my anonymous internet poster opinion, but I think for most Doctors and Lawyers the first 5 years after school are awful. It is made worse by the fact that the T.V. makes it appear that all Doctors and Lawyers are rich often this is true after years of experience is gained. A lawyer or a doctor holds a great deal of responsiblity and nobody wants to be the doctors first surgery or have their multi-million highly personal lawsuit be their lawyer's first trial. However, it does happen for everyone eventually.
I can say the first three years post law school were awful for me and most of my fellow classmates. Waiting for the bar I was volunteering getting a small stipend from my school. Then I got some document review work, contract work, then eventually I got a full-time with a somewhat shady solo practioner, but I did get some trial, deposition, etc experience there. Having those experiences got me interviews and eventually I found a firm that I have been at for 2 years now, but it was a long uncertain path.
I don't think more education is the solution you have to tough it out. One website that really helped me find some decent jobs was the
it connects you to basically every law schools career service website. username: jobfind password: ijbank almost every career services office gives the password out and I still browse it from time to time. Good luck to you.

I love research and writing and I love teaching, but I understand there are many challenges and barriers on the road to being a career professor.
My job isn't that awful, but I still feel like I need to make a move now or stick it out. The longer I wait the more difficult it will be to change.
I went to law school knowing exactly what I wanted to do: Banking law and Real Estate litigation.. I did well, I graduated and I hustled for a job. Luckily, my firm represented the regional interests of two large banks. Unfortunately, those accounts dried up due to an FDIC takeover and a sale just six months after I started. Now I do a random mixture of collections, family, criminal, and personal injury, none of which is very interesting. But it's work. I want to start a firm in a few years because I've owned businesses in the past, but I want more contacts in banking and real estate law before I go out on my own, and this firm isn't making that happen anymore.

I don't know where you live, but in my area, the LA County Bar Association has numerous networking events for attorneys in their specific practices throughout the city. If there is anything similar in your area, that may be a place to start to build additional contacts in real estate.

No, don't consider the sunk time/money as an investment. Your life is not poker. If you're miserable in law, get out.
But you're all over the place. First you say you hate your job, then it's not that awful? You want to start your own firm? I would say to wait out the firm for as short a time as you can, and then start your firm.
Going back for a Ph.D and then trying to get a college teaching job sounds horribly boring for someone with an entrepreneurial spirit (does that describe you?).
You should be getting advice on JDU; plenty of small firm and solo lawyers there.

If you want to teach, can you get an assistant teacher job at a law school, or teach at a community college (both I doubt require a PhD)

The Sunk Cost Fallacy: Help me!


text:
January 30th. Hmmmm, obviously one of my resolutions isn't about procrastination. Maybe next year.
First a few thanks. Thanks to my real life friend here in Brazil whom I'll call "Ballerina Girl" because she used to be a professional ballerina; she's taking a course on flower arrangements (see "What Expat Women Do All Day" #2) and today when I got back from my run with Pedro the guard had these for me:
Nice, huh? And very professional looking. I told the guard they were from my boyfriend and not to tell Guapo. I shouldn't try to be funny in Portuguese, I don't think he got it. Oh well.
And thanks to bloggy friends Maine Mom and Marina for my blogger awards. I am so bad about making updates to my sidebar but now I will have an incentive! (my mom called me last week and reminded me to change Julio's age-she got it wrong on all of her Christmas cards because she used my blog to "double-check" the kids' ages and I hadn't updated it. He is 7 and has been for several months now. Sorry Julio.)
Ok, on to my resolutions. I contemplated for a while whether or not to blog about them and I've decided I will post the ones that aren't too personal. I'm a big believer in writing down goals and having to report on them. Nettie did that last year and I loved reading about how she accomplished her goals. So, I'm going to post them now and hopefully report on how I'm doing every now and then (read: when I can't think of anything clever to write about).
New Year's Resolution #1- Weight
Does anyone NOT have this as a resolution? I really am ok with my weight-I'm probably only carrying a couple of extra baby pounds and those can be found in my still-nursing chest region. But, what I want to work on is my attitude towards exercise. From the time Margarita was around 6 months up until I got pregnant with Pedro, I had a good attitude towards exercise. I expected myself to workout at least 4 times a week. With Juan Carlos's pregnancy I made sure my heart rate was up at least 2 1/2 hours a week throughout the pregnancy and then I ran a half marathon when he was just under 3 months old (ok, so not the smartest thing I've ever done-but I still had another kid so I guess it didn't do too much damage),
Then I got pregnant with Pedro and I fell apart in that department (and several others). I was so sick at the beginning and middle of my pregnancy and then by the time I felt OK I was so big I just felt like, "what's the point?" After his birth I suffered from PPD and just couldn't get it together enough to ever work out more than once or twice a week.
I'm feeling much better now and need to get back to it. I want to do something physical every day of the week except Sunday. Activities may include: running, walking, biking, swimming. To motivate myself I am planning to do a half marathon in June when I get back to the States with my mom who is my exercise idol.
Resolution #2: Pick Up After Myself
Do you ever see something in your kids that makes you go, "oh boy-that came from me."? That happened recently to me watching Margarita pig up her room. Drawers and closets open, clothes and shoes flung everywhere. Guess where she gets it from? Yep. I can finally admit it came from me. I always justified my messiness by telling myself I was the one who picked it up, so what did it mattered when I did it? But, it really is annoying. And I can't very well ask her to do something that I'm not doing.
So, I am making a conscious effort to put my clothes in the correct place ever time I change. And close the closet doors. And the drawers. . .
Resolution #3: Execute New Laundry Strategy
I loathe laundry. So I have, in the past, done lots of loads two days a week so as not to think about it the other five days of the week. However, doing laundry here in Brazil is even less fun than doing laundry in other places because their dryers are totally inefficient. Just to give you a clue as to how inefficient, you can set the time knob for up to THREE HOURS (that's not normal, right???):
And that's about how long it takes to dry a normal load. So, instead of wasting all the time and electricity, you have to hang up each load and let it partially dry and then stick it in the dryer for a hour or so to finish the job (did you want to see my running bra? Good. I thought so.).
This makes it impossible to do my two days of 3 or 4 loads. So, I am changing to 1 or 2 loads 6 days a week. I'm not happy about it, but it's necessary for now.
(are you wondering why I do laundry since I have a maid? Hmmmm. Well, that's a post for another day, but, long story short: 1) I have control issues, and 2) my maid's not the best cleaner in the world (she is however, good at other things))
Resolution #4: Hug my Kids More
I loved President Hinckley's message found in December's Ensign about how we treat our kids. Since he passed away this week it's even more special to me as it was his last written message. Not Mormon? Don't be afraid, this short article isn't too "Mormon-y" and it was just so uplifting to me as a mom. The part that stuck in my head was the following:
"There once was a commonly seen bumper sticker that asked the question, "Have you hugged your child today?" How fortunate, how blessed is the child who feels the affection of his or her parents. That warmth, that love will bear sweet fruit in the years that follow. In large measure, the harshness that characterizes so much of our society is an outgrowth of harshness imposed on children years ago"
I am affectionate with my kids, but now that I have 4 I think sometimes I give the majority of my hugs and kisses to the baby and Juan Carlos. I need to remember that it is just as important for Margarita and Julio. So I am printing out something that says, "Have you hugged your child today?" and putting it on my bathroom mirror.
Resolution #5: Learn Excel
I need to learn this program. I sick of having to ask Guapo, "Now, how do you make the numbers add up again?" I have been elected (ok, not really; the lady who was rightfully elected abandoned her post) to be the book buyer for my book club (it's as if they know how much I like to buy stuff) and must keep a updated file for the president (sounds important, doesn't it?).
(See "What Expat Women Do All Day" #2 and #6)
Resolution #6: Portuguese???
Still undecided if I want to put the effort in and REALLY learn it or skate by and try to preserve what remains of my now-sorry Spanish. I'll be sure to keep you updated.
Resolution #7: Learn to Play the Primary Presentation Songs
I just about killed myself learning to play the piano in Small Town, Mexico. There was no one who could play in our branch so I practiced and practiced so I could play on Sundays. I learned around 75 hymns. But, when I am not required to play, I don't practice and I really don't want to lose all of my earlier efforts. So, I am going to learn the Primary songs for the Sacrament meeting presentation this year, just in case I am needed. Those would be:
- I am a Child of God (already know it)
- Tell Me the Stories of Jesus
- If the Savior Stood Beside Me
- We Thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet (already know it)
- Home
- I Love to See the Temple
- Called to Serve (have crashed and burned on this one several times)
- When Jesus Christ Was Baptized

Mekeisha Alcock wants to see old prom dresses pulled out of the closet and hooked up for a date at prom 2008. The Alcock Dress Drive Extravaganza is aimed at helping girls throughout Lenawee County attend prom—no matter what their financial status.
Alcock, a 2007 Sand Creek graduate attending Central Michigan University, is collecting gently worn prom, pageant, homecoming and winter formal gowns for a sales event April 12 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Sand Creek High School.
All girls are welcome to browse the collection and buy a dress for $10. If a dress is brought in for exchange, the cost is only $5.
All proceeds from the sale will benefit the Catherine Cobb Foundation and the Children's Miracle Network.
Alcock is also seeking donations from area businesses for door prizes at the Dress Drive Extravaganza.
Alcock knows that not every girl is able to afford a new gown for prom and she also knows there are plenty of great dresses hanging in closets.
"Just remember," she said, "your dress could make someone's prom night."
Dresses can be dropped off at three locations: the State Line Observer office in Morenci; the Closet Overflow in Adrian; and Creative Collections in Tecumseh.
For additional information, write Alcock at email@example.com.
• Fulton County's annual Cinderella Project is now underway. Used prom dresses can be taken to the Gorham-Fayette High School office.

The Personal Animation Recorder, is a full length Zorro II card designed to capture video in real-time, including real-time playback. The card contains what appears to be a SCSI controller and an IDE controller for use as dedicated drives for capturing video. The PAR may be limited to hard drives of 8GB or less, but this is unconfirmed. The PAR was supplied with software which could produce computer animations and camera animations as well as support for rotoscoping and time lapse video recording. Still grabs require the use of a time base corrector such as the Personal TBC-IV. Cards containing a Revision A 35-PAC-AUB (as highlighted in the pictures) may have problems if a second IDE drive is added. In order to fix this problem, the chip needs replacing with a Revision B 35-PAC-AUB. The DR-2150 is the NTSC version of the card, whilst the DR-3150 is the PAL version.

The Bill of Rights to the U.S. Constitution, December 15, 1791
Late in the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787, George Mason of Virginia proposed adding a bill of rights to the Constitution. Mason was the principal author of the Virginia Declaration of Rights of 1776, but he did not persuade the other delegates that the Constitution needed its own bill of rights. As many of the Constitution's supporters explained later during the struggle for ratification, the specific grants of power that the Constitution contained limited the actions of the government and, together with the prohibitions on congressional action, in effect made the Constitution the guarantor of the people's rights and liberties without a bill of rights.
That explanation did not satisfy Mason or the other men who opposed ratification of the Constitution. They feared a too-powerful national government, and they believed that without explicit guarantees of such fundamental liberties as freedom of the press, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion the new national government would be a danger to liberty.
In Virginia, after the convention narrowly voted to ratify the Constitution, the opponents of ratification and a number of the men who voted to ratify it, but who also agreed with some of the objections that had been made, proposed a long list of amendments, some of which were intended to reduce the power of the new government and some of which drew on the Virginia Declaration of Rights and the English Bill of Rights for explicit protection of fundamental liberties.
Those debates and objections changed James Madison's mind on the issue. He had not believed that the Constitution required a bill of rights and said so in 1787 and 1788 during the ratification process. But the objections to the Constitution that its opponents raised persuaded him that the addition of a bill of rights would calm the fears of the opponents and give the government under the new Constitution a chance to succeed. Consequently, as a member of the United States House of Representatives in 1789, he drew on the amendments that the Virginia and other state ratification conventions had proposed to introduce the first draft of what became the Bill of Rights. As the amendments worked their ways through the House and the Senate, they took the shape that we now know, the first ten amendments. In the autumn of 1789 Congress submitted them and two other amendments to the state legislatures for ratification.
The Library of Virginia owns one of the twelve surviving original copies of the Bill of Rights. This is the very copy that Congress sent to the Virginia General Assembly for ratification or rejection. Fifteen and a half years after Virginia adopted its own Declaration of Rights, on December 15, 1791, the Commonwealth became the eleventh state to approve the third through twelfth amendments, which thereupon became the first ten amendments to the Constitution, known ever after as the Bill of Rights. The second of the amendments proposed in 1789 was ratified in May 1992 and became the Twenty-Seventh Amendment to the Constitution.
The Bill of Rights prohibits the federal government from abridging the freedoms of religion, speech, and press and the right to petition the government for redress of grievances; the right to keep and bear arms; the right of the people not to have troops quartered in their homes; the right to protection against unreasonable government searches and seizures; the right to jury trials in civil and criminal cases and of a grand jury in criminal cases; the right to due process of law in court; a prohibition on government taking private property without just compensation; a prohibition on excessive bail and fines and on cruel and unusual punishments; and two amendments defining rights of people and of the states: "the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the People"; and "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the People."
1. How many amendments to the Constitution were sent to the states by Congress for ratification as the Bill of Rights?
2. Who was president of the United States when the Bill of Rights was sent to the states for ratification?
3. How many people signed this copy of the Bill of Rights?
4. Where did Congress meet when the Bill of Rights was drafted?
Further Discussion
1. Explore the changes in language found in the last article of the draft of the Virginia Declaration of Rights and the adopted Declaration of Rights and compare that to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
2. Research the Constitutional Convention of 1787 and explain why the convention did not add a bill of rights to the Constitution at that time.
3. Research the ratifications of the Constitution, which occurred in 1787 and 1788, and discuss the reasons why James Madison, who originally opposed the addition of the United States Bill of Rights, changed his mind.
4. Review the Virginia Declaration of Rights and the United States Bill of Rights and discuss the similarities and differences.
5. Read the English Bill of Rights and the American Bill of Rights and identify in the English version the origins of the many provisions found in the American Bill of Rights.
6. Identify the individual rights that were guaranteed in the original United States Constitution before the adoption of the Bill of Rights.
7. Create a new Bill of Rights, with provisions and language appropriate for our times.
8. Discuss the effectiveness of the Bill of Rights in respect to current events, particularly the First Amendment, which protects the right to worship and the freedom of speech and press.

My first printed comic, Spooky Womb (A true-ish uterine tale), is back from the printer. I'm just hand colouring the covers. I'll be taking it to Comica Comiket on November 10th which takes place at The Bishopsgate Institute, London. After that, I'll make it available online.
The grey covers have hand coloured elements – painted whites of eyes and rosy cheeks (Karisma pencil 'Scarlet Lake'). The cover paper came from a local recycled paper wholesaler, only a ten-minute walk from my house. The comic is printed on 100% recycled stock.
I knew I wouldn't be quite so busy with paid freelance work in October, so I gave myself last month to write, draw and get a comic printed – with a Halloween deadline (I made it but the printer didn't!) And I had to get the whole 'anthropomorphising a uterus' thing out of my system. It's been quite a learning curve but one I wanted to get on, so I could take part in comics fairs etc.
Spooky Womb is a short autobiographical 10-page spin-off from my work in progress, The Facts of Life. The story isn't all that spooky in reality. 'Spooky' in this context refers to the nature of our bodies, which can behave in unexpected, mysterious and hidden ways that we can't necessarily control, especially hormonally.
It was a good exercise in sorting out how to draw myself for the graphic memoir – something I've been struggling over. Still not sure I've cracked it, especially continuity-wise, but it's getting closer to what I want. A friend once said that I draw 'lollipop heads' i.e. out of proportion (too big) with the rest of the body. It was an observation rather than a criticism but it's something I'm trying to avoid. Some illustrators do this on purpose to achieve a 'cute' style. For me, it's probably a habit formed from years in children's illustration where head-to-body ratio is smaller (children's heads being larger in pro to the rest of their bodies than adults' heads are).
Anyway, I'm pretty pleased with the comic but plenty learnt for next time! After Comiket, I'll be getting down to The Facts of Life again, so to speak.

As well as arguing against the UCP's intervention, the federal government took issue with a handful of other would-be interveners
Federal government opposing Alberta opposition's attempt to join legal fight against carbon tax
EDMONTON — The federal government is arguing that Alberta's opposition United Conservative Party should not be allowed to join the government of Saskatchewan in its legal challenge against the imposition of a carbon tax.
"Their interest in this reference is both political and speculative," Department of Justice lawyers wrote in court documents filed Wednesday. "Their intervention will not assist the Court in dealing with the legal issues."
As well as arguing against the UCP's intervention, the federal government took issue with a handful of other would-be interveners. It argued against the admissibility of some portions of submissions from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation and the Assembly of First Nations, and that the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan should be refused status unless its arguments were "relevant to the legal issues."
But it has no objection to applications to intervene from eight other organizations, including the David Suzuki Foundation, the Canada Ecofiscal Commission and the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, all expected to support the federal position. The federal government also did not challenge applications from the Saskatchewan Power Corporation and SaskEnergy Inc., both Saskatchewan Crown corporations seeking to intervene in support of the province.
"It's telling that the Trudeau government is happy with foreign-funded groups … fighting for a carbon tax in Canadian courts, but not the Official Opposition in Alberta that represents a significant number of Albertans," said UCP leader Jason Kenney in a statement.
In an emailed statement, Caroline Thériault, a spokeswoman with Environment Canada, said the government's position was based upon the "legal rules for intervener application in reference cases."
"It's disappointing to see Conservative politicians across the country using taxpayer money and resources to oppose serious action on climate change," she wrote.
Saskatchewan contends it is not constitutional for Ottawa to impose a carbon tax on provinces and territories that don't implement carbon-pricing programs of their own, or that adopt programs the federal government considers inadequate. The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal will hear its case in February 2019. The UCP filed documents with the court last week claiming the party had a unique legal argument that it should get to present as an intervener.
In seeking leave to intervene — interveners raise issues to help courts decide cases, though they're not direct parties to the court case — lawyers for the UCP argued that to allow the carbon tax would "upset the balance of federalism and the separation of powers between the federal and provincial governments in a manner that is detrimental to provincial efforts to develop policy solutions that are particular and unique to the individual provinces."
The provinces and territories where the federal carbon tax looks likely to apply beginning in 2019 include Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Yukon and Nunavut. Alberta has a carbon tax at present, put in place by Premier Rachel Notley's NDP government, but the UCP — which could take over after next spring's election — has vowed to cancel it and fight the federal government tooth and nail should it impose one on Alberta.
Notley's government, however, pulled out of the federal carbon plan on Aug. 31 over delays to the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion; the federal tax would likely have replaced the provincial one in 2021. Asked for comment Wednesday on the federal government's filing, the Alberta government did not respond directly, instead offering a statement that "there is no national climate plan without Alberta."
The federal government's filing also declares its opposition to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation's request to file affidavit evidence. "It is inadmissible opinion evidence from an affiant that has not established any special expertise in general economics or the economics of carbon pricing," the Department of Justice argued. It does not, however, oppose more generally the CTF's application to intervene.
Aaron Wudrick, the federal director of the CTF, said "we're not surprised" that an intervener opposing one side would get pushback.
"It also suggests that they're aware that we've been fairly effective politically fighting their carbon tax and they simply want to throw up as many roadblocks as they can to help with the legal fight," Wudrick said Wednesday.
Ottawa opposes submissions from the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan because, it said, they don't address the legal questions. The association's president, Todd Lewis, said they wanted to raise issues about agriculture being affected by the carbon tax. "It's just a puzzling situation, why they would not even want us in the room."
The federal government filing also took issue with some submissions from the Assembly of First Nations, saying they do not address the constitutional issues before the court.
The court will hear the applications to intervene on Dec. 12.

Descriptive Summary
Cohen Collection, 1773-1945
Maryland Historical Society
Baltimore MD 21201-4674
Biographical Sketch
The Cohen family has long been prominent in the business and artistic affairs of the City of Baltimore. Originally descended from Meyer Cohen (b. 1700?) who lived in Oberdorf, Gernamy, the first Cohen to arrive in the U.S. was Jacob I. Cohen (1744 1823) He emigrated from his native land in 1773 and for a short time lived in Lancaster Pennsylvania. From that city he moved to Charleston, South Carolina. Prior to the end of the Revolution Cohen moved to Richmond, Virginia where he became associated in business with Israel Isaacs. In Richmond Cohen became prominent in civic as well as in financial affairs serving as a grandjuryman, as a Trustee of the Masonic Hall and as a member of the City Council. Jacob I. lived in Philadelphia from 1806 to the time of his death.
Jacob's brother, Israel I. Cohen (1751-1803) was also a public spirited citizen of Richmond, Virginia serving as a juryman, a volunteer constable, a subscriber for shares in the Academy of Arts and Sciences of the United States of America established in Richmond in 1786. He was also a Trustee of the Franklin Street Cemetery. He died in 1803 and was buried in Richmond.
In 1808 Judith Solomon Cohen, Israel I. Cohen's widow, moved to Baltimore with seven children: Jacob I., Jr., Philip I., Maria I., Mendes I., Benjamin I., David I., and Joshua I. The [UNK] relationship with Baltimore began with Judith Cohen's move. Biographical sketches of Cohen family members important to the Cohen collections are to follow.
After their arrival in Baltimore, Jacob I. Cohen, Jr. and his brothers engaged in business. Their widely known banking business was conducted under the name of Jacob I. Cohen, Jr. and Brothers. Cohen was also actively interested in the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad Company in its early days and was a Vice-President and Director of that company for many years. He was a Director of the Baltimore and OHio Railroad Company and President of the Baltimore Fire Insurance Co.
It was largely due to the energy of Jacob I. Cohen that the Maryland Legislature confirmed the constitutional amendment whereby it became possible for Jews to hold office in Maryland. From 1816 to 1826 Jacob I. Cohen, Jr. led the movement to relieve his fellow Jews of their disqualification.
Cohen was also a member of the City Council of Baltimore (1845-1851) and helped found Baltimore's public school system. For the first nine years of its existence (1830-1838) he was Secretary and Secretary-Treasurer of the Board of Public School Commissioners.
Born in Richmond and moved to Baltimore in 1808. At the age of eighteen he served at Fort McHenry during the bombardment. After the war he entered into the banking business with his brothers, and conducted business at the New York Branch of J.I. Cohen, Jr. and Brothers. He retired from business in 1829 and made an extensive foreign tour (1829 1835) through Great Britain, Europe, Asia Minor, and the Middle East. While in Egypt, Cohen travelled up to the second cataract of the Nile and was the first American to bear the American flag up the Nile after the ratification of the Treaty with Turkey.
Mendes I. Cohen was a member of the Maryland Historical Society, Vice-President of
the Hebrew Benevolent Society, Director of the Fireman's Insurance Company, and Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. He was a member of the Maryland Legislature 1847-1848.
One of the foremost bankers in Baltimore. He was a member of the banking firm of Jacob I. Cohen Jr., and Brothers, and was influential in forming the first Baltimore Stock Board in 1838.
Benjamin I. Cohen was active in creating sentiment for the passage of the Jew Bill and urged members of the House of Delegates to introduce a bill to extend to persons of the Jewish Religion, the same civil priviledges that are allowed to other religious sects.
Cohen also played a prominent role in the social life of Baltimore and was reputed to have been a violinist, a botanist, and a horticulturist.
Graduated from the University of Maryland Medical School in 1823. Treasurer of the Medical and Chiurgical Faculty of Maryland from 1839-1856 and its President from 1857-1858 professor of geology and minerology at the University of Maryland, a member of the American Philosophical Society, the Maryland Historical Society and the Anacreontic Society.
He also participated like his brothers, in the work which resulted in the removal of Jewish disabilities in Maryland.
Son of Benjamin I. Cohen; conducted extensive stock brokerage business; founder of the Second Baltimore Stock Board. Member Mechanical Fire Co.; Ringgold Infantry;
a Director of the Pittsburg and Connellville Railway. One of the original perjectors of the Maryland Academy of Art and the Academy of Music of which he was Secretary and Treasurer.
Pioneer Civil Engineer, apprentice machinist in Baltimore Locomotive Works of Ross Winans, 1851. Appointed one of the Assistants to the Engineer of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad 1851 1855.
1868-1871 Comptroller and Assistant to the President of Lehigh Coal and navigation Company. 1872 chosen President of Pittsburg and Connellsville Railroad which subsequently consolidated with the Baltimore and Ohio railway system. 1892-1893 was President of the American Society of Civil Engineers. 1894 President Cleveland appointed him a member of the board to report upon a route for the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. 1875 retired from active work of his profession.
Later on he devoted his time entirely to the welfare of the City of Baltimore and to studies he was interested in. Through his ability and persistence the modern system of sewerage in Baltimore was put into effect. And 1884-1904 was the Secretary and then President (1904-1915) of the Maryland Historical Society.
One of the founders of the Jewish Historical Society. Took an interest in all the art musical and intellectual pursuits of his fellow citizens. Was a member of the Municipal Art Commission of Baltimore and a Trustee of the Peabody Institute.
Daughter of Israel and Cecilia Levy Cohen. Interested in both Jewish and non-sectarian charities. Endowed scholarships in the Medical Department of the University of Maryland; was in the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. Was a member of Associated Jewish charities to which she was a liberal contributor. Was a member of
the Municipal Art Society of Baltimore, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Maryland Historical Society, the Zionist Organization of America and the Jewish Theological Seminary of America.
SOLOMON ETTING was born in York, Pennsylvania on July 28, 1764. Nothing is known of his early life. He married Rachel, the daughter of John Simon, and moved to Lancaster, Pennsylvania where he was entered into partnership with his father-in-law under the firm name of Simon and Etting. The firm was involved in the trade of Indian goods. Rachel Simon Etting died in 1790. About this time Solomon Etting moved to Baltimore and opened a hardware business. He also married Rachel Gratz.
In 1795 Solomon Etting gave up his hardware business and became invoved in shipping, commerce, and banking. In 1796 he established the Water Company of Baltimore. He organized the Baltimore East India Company in 1807. He was a member of the Citywide Committee of Vigilance and Safety in 1814. He helped negotiate with Robert Fulton and the Navy Department for construction of the first Fulton Steam frigate. In 1831 he was a board member of the Maryland Colonization Society. He died on August 6, 1847.
THE COHEN AND ETTING FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS arise from the marriage of Kitty Etting (1799 1837), daughter of Solomon and Rachel Gratz Etting, to Benjamin I. Cohen. Also, Solomon Etting and Benjamin I. Cohen were associated with the movement to enact the Jew Bill.

Men's D1 Hockey to host 'Far Side' fundraiser for mission trip
November 29, 2012 | Lynchburg, VA
The Liberty Flames Men's Division 1 Hockey Team is hosting a fun, humorous event called "The Far Side" to raise funds and prayer support for its mission trip to Latvia and Estonia over spring break.
On Wednesday, Dec. 5, from 9:15-10 p.m. at the LaHaye Ice Center, the team will play against a combined team of Liberty professors, coaches, women's hockey team captains, and Lynchburg Youth Hockey members. After the game, from 10-11 p.m., there will be an open skate session.
The event will cost $2 to observe, and spectators can also purchase "limitations" against their favorite players. The $5 "silver" limitations include using an opposite stick, using a youth hockey stick (short), taking away the goalies' stick, and buying one break away. The $10 "gold" limitations include skates tied together, wearing figure skates, skating backwards and having two players tied together. Each limitation will last for one period.

A rough period for Apple's stock just got even rougher.
Stalwart Apple bull Gene Munster is cutting his price target on Apple to $875, down from $900.
He still rates the stock "overweight."
He is cutting the stock because he believes Apple's margins are going to drop as it rolls out a new, less expensive iPhone.
Munster says he thinks Apple is making the "right move" rolling out a less-expensive iPhone. Right now, it's missing out on 65 percent of the smartphone market, or 580 million unit sales.
However going after that market means making trade offs. Apple's margins will be sacrificed, though it will still grow profits and sales nicely. He has margins in calendar year 2014 at 40.6 percent, which is a drop from 41.5 percent for calendar year 2013. (Apple's fiscal year is different than the calendar year, thus the distinction.)
Now that even Gene Munster has cut his target, there's only one mega-Apple bull that's not backing down. Brian White at Topeka Capital has a $1,111 price target on the stock. As far as we can tell, he's still all-in on Apple despite the fact that the stock has fallen 25% since September and has been locked in the ~$520 range for a while now.
Munster's tiny cut is mostly symbolic. The difference between $875 and $900 isn't much. Apple will fluctuate by $20 on any given day when it gets above $700. As we said, most analysts have been cutting Apple's targets. Munster was one of the last true believers and it looks like even he's wavering now.

Since Betty and I did not get to go to the Bulloch Hall Quilt Guild Retreat this January at beautiful Unicoi State Park with all the girls, thanks to a really low air fare, Betty and I had our own little retreat in lovely Murfreesboro, TN. The scenery and the company was not up to the event we missed, but we had a great time together and got quite a lot accomplished. And made plans for the next mini-retreat!! But, Betty brought the cold weather from Michigan with her and TN had the coldest weather of the winter!!
I made a bunch of cute tissue holders to give to special folks on Valentine's Day
and started my challenge piece for the 2012 Bulloch Hall Quilt Show in March. But we really focused on a couple projects Betty had brought and it has really warmed up my sewing engines!!!!
Betty has had this little Easter piece from Buggy Barns in her head for a while. The bunnies will have little dark eyes, pink noses (maybe heart buttons, maybe heart beads) and buttons on their bowties. The chocolate bunny in the middle is sitting backward from all the other bunnies, so she will add a fuzzy white tail. I hope she adds some glitter in there, too, but that is me and not her!!! Maybe she is going to add some little Easter Egg buttons to the baskets in the corner. Of course, the baskets are from TwoStarDesign.com And we cut out the eggs on the die-cut machine, too. All the scattered eggs are stuffed and she will add them after the piece is quilted - just tack them to the surface. They have glitter-y rick rack and fancy trim. How delightful!!! She promised to send a pic of the finished piece!!! I think the eyes and buttons and such will just set it all off! The chocolate bunny in the middle is just inspired, Betty!! This is just so cute.
And then we started with the 2 inch squares! Man, you talk about using up thread. Every time we turned around, we were replacing the bobbin. We kinda tag-teamed this guy. Betty started off all "you just have to have every point perfect' so she was on the machine and I manned the iron. Of course, after awhile, her standards kinda lowered and I got to sew some! lol Borders are just pinned on the design wall, so we better get a finished pic of this one, too!!!
And really, her points are pretty darned good!!! I'll have to give her that one!!!
This piece is so cute. I may have caught the 2 inch square bug though. There were a couple really cute pieces in the book. And, I have completely lost my mind if I go 1 inch squares??? Yeah, you don't have to answer that one. . . And really, I have the 2 inch die so all those 2 inch squares are awful easy to cut out. . . . . Maybe I will just downsize the number of blocks. This one might look really cute with 5 hearts and 4 blue dots. Yeah, that would make way more sense than going 1 inch block. Thank you for talking me out of it!!!
Way to go, Betty! We are getting very good at mini-retreats!! Let's plan on July for a whole week at the lake. . .

'O sleep,why dost thou leave me?
Why thy visionary joys remove?
O sleep again deceive me,
To my arms restore my wand'ring love'
I recently attended a concert in which these words of Congreve were sung in a beautiful Handel aria. I'm sure we can all relate to the sentiment: sleep is a place of joyful deceptions and re-found loves; it's a place for escaping, forgetting, recovering, refocusing. However harsh the work environment, however stressful the unrelenting day, I have always been sustained by the promise of sleep, its welcoming embrace, its warm repose. In fact I have a singular talent for napping at will and I have inherited from my mother the habit of the Sunday afternoon kip. I like to drift off on the sofa, newspaper on my lap, to the sound of children's chatter and roller bags from the pavement outside.
I have long felt that sleep is an area of untapped opportunity for brands. We spend a third of our lives sleeping, but we're increasingly concerned by our ability to get enough of it, at the right quality. One can't help but be underwhelmed by the plethora of scented candles, quack remedies and orthopaedic pillows that currently constitute the 'sleep sector'. Can't we do better than this? Surely space is not the final frontier; it's sleep.
When, many years ago, BBH first embarked on our efforts to develop brand ideas that could cross borders, we had to overcome the argument that cultural difference abhorred generalisation. We observed that, whilst all markets are indeed diverse and varied, there are often strong consistencies around aspiration, belief and hope: we are united in dreams, but divided by reality. It's a creative tension that I continue to find useful.
This is not to say that my relationship with sleep and dreams has always been positive. As a child I was cursed by the recurrent nightmare of my father, padded up, in cricket whites, being chased down the stairs by a crocodile. Not pleasant perhaps,but at least it was interesting.
When I was a young researcher there were guys who put respondents to sleep, hypnotised them in order to probe the deeper,darker unspoken truths of brands. I confess I felt at the time that this was all somewhat daft. Nonetheless I can't help but admire the intent.
I sometimes wonder if the 'always on' digital age is depriving brands of the opportunity to pause and ponder, recover and refocus. I'm concerned that nowadays we fail to find the time and space for our brands to sleep and dream. As we reduce everything to rational reckoners, KPIs and capabilities, are we cultivating brands without conflict or contradiction, brands without personality or human frailty? Are we creating an Age of the Anodyne? Pity the insomniac brand, cursed to roam the earth in the endless waking sunshine of unforgiving rationality.
It seems reasonable to suggest that, whilst brands today should naturally seek to deliver immediacy and reciprocity, utility and individuality, they should also find room to rest, relax and restore; to dream the illogical and impossible; to yearn for lost loves and found hopes.
I'm about to embark on a three month sabbatical. Perhaps the thought of sleep has an extra resonance. In the words of Morrissey…
'Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I'm tired and I
I want to go to bed…'

CNS (Central Nervous System) Viral Dynamics and Cellular Immunity During AIDS

Understanding whether or not viral replication occurs in the brain during chronic untreated HIV-1 infection is of undeniable importance, and has implications for treatment and research priorities. Evidence suggests that viral replication in the CNS occurs at the extremes of HIV-1 disease. Brain involvement has been reported during acute infection, and there is convincing evidence of CNS viral replication during HIV-associated dementia (HAD) and advanced AIDS. Some human and primate data suggest that viral RNA and proteins may be absent from brains of some individuals with chronic untreated HIV-1 infection despite abundant proviral DNA. However, the extent of viral replication in the brain is not known for most of the 42 million people worldwide living with untreated HIV-1 infection.
Why is viral replication in the brain such a pivotal issue? Microglial cells and macrophages are primary targets for intrathecal HIV-1 replication, and this can promote neuronal injury through direct effects of gp120 and tat, and indirect induction of toxic mediators. Low-grade injury over years or decades would likely be deleterious, particularly as the population ages. Because treatment guidelines allow systemic HIV-1 replication to continue until CD4+ T cell counts decline considerably, antiretroviral therapy (ART) is not recommended for many persons living with HIV. Demonstrating replication in the brain during chronic HIV-1 infection may affect treatment strategies and encourage investigation.
Identifying factors that modulate intrathecal viral replication is equally important. Anti-HIV-1 cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) partially control systemic viral replication and delay disease progression. Although available data has been provocative, the role of anti-HIV CTL in the CNS has received little attention. To fill this gap we will examine relationships between intrathecal viral replication, CTL responses, and glial activation/proliferation during HIV-1 infection. These studies will be relevant not only to AIDS but to other inflammatory diseases of the CNS as well.

Cenk Uygur's Departure From MSNBC Shatters The Popular Myth That Only Ratings Matter
Saman Mohammadi
July 21, 2011
Cenk Uygur, host of the popular show, "The Young Turks," decided to leave the not so popular MSNBC channel after experiencing what can only be called a "Howard Beale moment" with MSNBC's corporate executives. Basically, MSNBC's managers gave Cenk an ultimatum: join our exclusive club and stop raising hell or you won't be on television.
Cenk made the announcement of his departure on his internet/radio show on July 20, explaining that he left MSNBC because of disagreements about how to run the show.
Cenk said that MSNBC offered him a lucrative contract on the condition that he accept a limited role at MSNBC and that he would "tone down" his rhetoric against the criminals who run Washington D.C. He was also told to be less wild on television and present himself to the audience similar to a senator or professional politician (like those fake and manufactured personalities Mitt Romney and Barack Obama).
But Cenk refused to compromise his principles for a large paycheck. He deserves our respect and support. He has honour and backbone. The people who work at MSNBC and the other propaganda channels in the Western world have no honour and no dignity. Anchors at MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, CBC, CTV, and BBC are lost souls, telling lies to the public and telling lies to themselves like a pack of cheap whores. They won't ever tell the people the truth about the 9/11 attacks and the great hoax that is the war on terror. If they had it their way, the age of government lies and mass brainwashing will never end.
What is strange about MSNBC not keeping Cenk on the air is that he gave them high ratings, beating both CNN and Fox News in certain demographics. This just shows that corporate propaganda is not all about ratings. Money is not that important to the owners of media companies (they have billions of it already). What they care about most is control and protecting the corrupt political status quo, in which they play an important role.
Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC are first and foremost a political operation, not a for-profit operation. If MSNBC's managers cared about profits they would keep Cenk on the air and promote his show. But they don't care about making money. News corporations and media channels can make a lot of money by telling the people the truth about 9/11 and other government crimes because the people are hungry for the truth and will watch truth-telling shows. Jesse Ventura's show on TruTV "Conspiracy Theory," is a big success and it has big ratings. But the ratings don't matter in the big picture.
There was a great desire for ratings in an earlier time in the television news industry, but not today. What news producers and news managers consider more important is suppressing the truth and protecting the criminal political establishment at all cost, even if it means their ratings will be less. Their job is to keep news anchors in line, manipulate the news, spread government propaganda, and make sure that nobody steps outside the fake "republican-democrat, conservative-liberal" political trap.
Somebody like Cenk is a big threat to the rotten political order because he doesn't hold back. Cenk said that he was told by guys at MSNBC that "people from Washington" didn't like his angry style and brand of politics. He was viewed as an outsider by the executives at MSNBC who consider themselves to be part of the criminal establishment. Corporate news executives and managers care about pleasing the propaganda masters in Washington D.C., not the audience.
II. The Fall of The Propaganda Wall
It is so important that we watch and financially support independent news shows like The Young Turks. The crooks and whores on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, BBC, CBC, NBC, CBS and ABC who are telling the public nothing but government lies are worshippers of power and tyranny. They are abusing the public trust. Of course, not all of them are crooks and whores, but enough of them are to make the whole industry look bad.
Paddy Chayefsky, who wrote the script for the 1976 film, "Network," said in an interview in the 1970s that what is on television "is not true." Chayefsky said:
Television is a great entertainment industry. That's what it is. I think we do entertainment on television better than any place in the world. I mean that's what television is for. You're bored, you want to enjoy yourself, you want to be amused, you turn it on and you have a good time. But, unfortunately, it has a power that transcends anything in the world today. It is a power that deals with the fact that 95% of this country is television saturated. That means 95% of our people get their information from television and television only.
Since Chayefsky made those statements a revolution in media and communication systems has occurred. People in North America and the West no longer get their information from television, but from the internet. The free nature of the internet means that different points of view can be heard, and alternative historical accounts of events like 9/11 can be put forward to counter the false historical narratives put out by the crooked government in Washington and corporate media channels.
Chayefsky was right to be pessimistic about the state of the media in the 1970s, but it is foolish of us to be pessimistic in 2011. Alternative news organizations, radio shows, and web sites are crushing the corporate competition. MSNBC and Fox News are no match for Cenk Uygur's The Young Turks, Amy Goodman's Democracy Now, and Alex Jones's Infowars.
Glen Beck, that half-retarded whore, copied Alex's shtick when he was on Fox News, except for telling the truth part. He achieved success for a while, but that type of success is always fleeting. Scam artists on television like Beck, Wolf Blitzer, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Chris Matthews and other anchors have no staying power because they have no integrity, no morals, and no honour. The media monarchs like Rupert Murdoch and Ted Turner that hire theses asses to manipulate public perceptions and inject false information into their shows will see their empires fall to pieces because the ground under their feet is slowly crumbling.
It is good that Cenk decided to leave a rotten, corrupt and morally bankrupt industry. Television news is poison for the mind. Modern society is contaminated with state propaganda. Individuals who sell government propaganda to the public as factual news and tell lies for a living have no sense of patriotism or civic duty. They are the villains of our time and of our society, not terrorists, not Bin Laden, not Saddam Hussein, not Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, not Muammar Gaddafi, not Kim Jong-il, not any foreign tyrant.
Until we understand that fact, we won't ever put an end to Western state terrorism, government-media propaganda, and the transnational totalitarian system that is bringing America, Canada, England, Australia and other Western countries down to the level of the Soviet Union.

Cenk Uygur's Departure From MSNBC

DETROIT (AP) -- Seven elected Detroit school board members will keep their positions after a Wayne County Circuit Court judge sided against a challenge by state Attorney General Bill Schuette.
School board attorney George B. Washington said last Thursday that Judge John Gillis issued the ruling last Tuesday.
Schuette filed suit in August to remove seven of the 11 board members, saying they were elected in districts instead of at-large. Under state law only school districts with enrollments above 100,000 students are allowed to elect board members by district.
Detroit Public Schools dropped below that threshold several years ago.
The district has been under state oversight since 2009, with its finances controlled by emergency managers.

Morning Five: 08.19.11 EditionPosted by rtmsf on August 19th, 2011
- It's official. USC point guard and best returning player Jio Fontan will miss the entire 2011-12 season with a torn ACL in his left knee suffered during an exhibition game in Brazil earlier this week. Fontan was flown back to the US for an MRI, but word leaking out of the USC camp all week indicated that this was a rather concerning injury rather than a simple sprain. Fontan was to be the Trojans' only returning starter from a team that snuck into the NCAA Tournament as a member of the inaugural First Four, and as the captain and floor leader, he was going to be relied upon to shoulder much of the responsibility in leading a young team. Head coach Kevin O'Neill will now have to hope that incoming freshman guard Alexis Moore, a three-star player from nearby Long Beach, will be up to the task. The only possible silver lining Trojan fans can draw from this is that next year's team will develop considerable experience on the fly so that when Fontan hopefully returns in 2012-13, USC will be in a much better position to make another run at the postseason.
- Duke's next great freshman made his debut in China this week during the Blue Devils' exhibition tour, and although he did not manage to get into a chair-throwing brawl, he had his ups and downs. In two exhibitions against the Chinese junior national team, Austin Rivers had 18 points (8-15 FG) and five assists in a 77-64 victory Wednesday, followed by a 12-point (5-16 FG), seven-turnover performance in a 76-66 victory on Thursday. Duke won both games despite a herculean effort on the part of the Chinese referees (yes, we may have discovered the one place in the world…) — in their two games, China shot 72 free throws to a Duke total of 25, nearly a 3:1 ratio (you may recall that Georgetown got a little perturbed by a similar officiating pattern in its game on Wednesday). Notwithstanding the choppy play of Rivers, it has been Duke's junior forward, Ryan Kelly, who has looked fantastic thus far. Kelly has averaged 17/11 while shooting a scorching 75% from the floor in the two games. Considering that China has significant size in its lineup and that the frontcourt represents Mike Krzyzewski's greatest area of concern heading into next season, Kelly's play is tremendous news for Duke fans worldwide.
- Villanova rising junior and team captain Isaiah Armwood announced on Thursday that he will be transferring out of the program. Although he started in every game on VU's recent exhibition trip to Europe and is considered a key "heart and soul" type of player, it didn't appear that the minutes were going to be there for him in a crowded frontcourt next season. The Wildcats return an improved Mouphtau Yarou and adds freshmen Markus Kennedy and JayVaughn Pinkston (back from suspension), so Armwood perhaps saw the writing on the wall in deciding to leave. He will have two years of eligibility remaining and is reportedly looking at schools such as Maryland, George Washington, Iowa and Texas Tech. Armwood hails from the Baltimore/DC corridor and has ties to former VU assistant coaches now at Iowa and TTU.
- Thursday the MAC announced that it would be changing its 2012 MAC Tournament format to give its two best teams byes to the conference tourney semifinals in the hopes that one of its best teams will ultimately win the league and represent itself well in the NCAA Tournament. This mirrors what the Horizon League has done for the better part of a decade, and although there's no Butler in the MAC, five of the last seven MAC Tournament champions were seeded #4 or worse coming into the postseason. The new format will give the top two seeds a significantly greater chance of winning the coveted automatic bid, and presumably, a better chance to do some damage in the NCAAs (although #9 seed Ohio still says hello, Georgetown). We're on board with this idea in principle — whatever these smaller conferences can do to make the regular season more meaningful is a good thing from our view.
- The Lapchick Character Award is given annually to coaches who "have shown the characterand coaching ability of [St. John's and New York Knicks head coach] Hall of Famer Joe Lapchick." This year's trio is no exception, and well known to students of the game: former Princeton legend Pete Carril, former Mt. St. Mary's head coach Jim Phelan, and former Virginia women's head coach Debbie Ryan. The three will be honored at a ceremony on November 17 at Madison Square Garden during the 2kSports Classic (of which St. John's is a participant). They collectively won over 2,000 games — Phelan, 814; Ryan, 739; Carril, 514 — and never ran afoul of any ethical behavior over their many years of coaching. A deserving honor to three tremendous coaches.
