Federal Judge: Students' Raunchy Facebook Photos Are Protected by First Ammendment

So I don't like stupid high school girls craving attention, but I DO love a Federal Judge who protects the First Amendment. High Five, your Honor.

Law School Hummus

Ok.  I know very few grad students (or 20-somethings in general) that dislike hummus.  Its a great source of all kinds of good nutrients to help you keep cranking-- the good fats, protein, carbs-- and it's just plain yummy.  But it can be so expensive!  And law students are so poor!  So.....drumroll please:

I invented/merged a few recipes to make my very own version of hummus for very cheap!  And-- because I love sharing-- I am sharing it with YOU.  All of these measurements are estimates-- I am a big "dash of this" kind of cook.  Also, if you are out of any of the spices, don't worry-- just use whatever you have.  This is a "whatever is lurking in my cabinet" kind of thing. NOW, Without further ado, DIY Law School Brain Pump Hummus:

2/3 can Garbanzo beans/chickpeas
3 tablespoons plain low fat yogurt
2 tablespoons EVOO
1 clove garlic, chopped into chunks
1/2 tablespoon lime juice
2 tsp parsley
2 tsp garlic powder
1tsp curry
1tsp tumeric
salt and pepper

1. Drain most of the water out of the chickpeas.  Pour chickpeas into food processor, with a splash (about 1/4 cup) of water from the can.
2. Add EVOO, Yogurt, lime juice, and garlic into the food processor. 
3. BLEND THAT STUFF.  Blend it until it's a puree.  Then blend it/food process it some more.
4. Add the rest of the ingredients.  KEEP BLENDING! It should be smooth and kind of creamy.
5. Add salt and pepper to taste :)

Oh yeaaah you (and your brain) can thank me later...

Some Busy Lawyers Sleeping in On Site, Japanese-Style Sleeping Pods - Firm Life - Greedy Associates

I think this is a great idea, and I think that EVERY profession should do this. And this article is DEAD ON: lawyers--and law students-- approach lack of sleep like some sort of purple heart badge of honor. We're outright masochists. But we already knew THAT one. Read some excerpts from this article:

"Needing sleep on the job is especially true if you're in the midst of closing a huge deal, pulling in 16-hour work days. For some lucky London attorneys, small bedrooms are set aside to allow some sleep-deprived attorneys to get some well-needed R&R.... ...In Japan, capsule hotels allow intrepid visitors to nap in what can only be described as a giant, plastic-looking tube. Despite the small living space, the capsule hotel has amenities like television, radio and an alarm clock, but for attorneys working long hours, these amenities aren't even necessary...
...Attorneys who might go for simply downing cups of caffeine through the day should be cautioned - the dangers of sleep deprivation are well-known, according to The Guardian. It's not only bad for your health to get too little sleep, but can add to your stress. And, we all know that more often than not, the best decision-making isn't made on only 3 hours of sleep. But, for some attorneys, it's not about one's health, it's about one's sense of machismo. Some attorneys approach sleep deprivation with a sense of pride, thinking that it displays a sense of bravado or accomplishment to get less sleep than your colleagues and still be able to function like a (moderately) normal human being."

Read this article from Mashable to find out about the New York Times Square Billboard we launched. I got to sit in on some calls for this one, although I didn't physically do too much. Still, sitting and hearing the concept/potential issues was super informative, and so fun!!
