Well, to be honest, it is not our tax dollars at work, but printed and/or borrowed money at work. Nevada spent $812,448,468 which came from the “Federal Stimulus” programs of 2009. Out of that, a grand total of 39.39 jobs were created.

My first year at LSU Law is in the history book. My first semester GPA was 3.5, second semester was 3.756 and cumulative is 3.628. Best grades: 2nd semester Legal Writing (4.0) and Constitutional Law I (4.0). Worst grades: Torts (3.1), Civil Procedure II (3.4) and Legal Traditions (3.4). I was in the top 10% of my first semester class; but for the entire year, top 4%–ninth in my class of 229.
All-in-all, I had a great year. I learned a lot of interesting stuff and worked my behind off. Law school is to college as college is to kindergarten. Be prepared to spend outrageous amounts of time reading, studying and writing.
I noticed another site one the domain ihategoogle.com (this blog is .org), and on it the owner discloses a letter sent from Google complaining about the use of their trademark Google for commercial purposes.
“Your registration and use of the Domain Name is clearly designed to appropriate the goodwill associated with the famous GOOGLE mark in violation of the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act”
Frankly, I’m surprised I’ve never received any letters to that effect.
Of course, I use Adsense, and with the low revenues from this site, nobody could ever in good faith accuse this site of being for commercial purposes!

I’m really looking forward to the forthcoming Google Voice service. Apparently, you can get Google to set up a phone number for you and have it forward calls to multiple numbers based on the idenity of callers. It will also be able to transcribe voicemails into text. Sweet!
You can check out a video describing Google Voice…
Update
I received my invitation to join Google Voice and am very pleased with the service and features. It is innovations like this that keep Google ahead of the pack.
Thursday is the beginning of the 1L law student orientation here at LSU Law. Already, we have been issued several reading/homework assignments for next week and I’ve begun the work. In addition, we have a couple of cases we need to brief for the orientation.
I’ve met several students in my section (meaning we will be sharing a lot of classes) and will enjoy getting to know them. We had a party for our section and had a bit of fun.
I read about depositing checks (to a USAA checking account) via an iPhone app on PC World. The article says it is “coming soon,” but it is available now.
Being a USAA customer, I decided to open a checking account on their website and give it a whirl. First, I downloaded their app to my iPhone. Then, I took five minutes and opened the checking account, funding it from my pre-existing checking account at another bank.
A couple of minutes later, I wrote a check to myself and used USAA’s iPhone app to make a deposit. I entered the amount of the deposit, took a picture of the front and back of the check (the endorsement has to be done a certain way), and then submitted it. During the submission, you have to be careful not to let your iPhone time out, and don’t answer any calls, etc. The funds were deposited immediately.
This is a great way to deposit a check if you use internet banking. Bravo USAA!!!
