Just as a fully illuminated government becomes even more imperative during the frantic response to an economic crisis the agents of darkness are at work in our state Legislature ... to virtually no ones surprise. Multiple manifestations of the dreaded title-only bill have bubbled up again this year. This gimmick also known as a ghost bill is a bill written with no text, only a vague title such as fiscal matters or state government or criminal justice. Details become known later, much later too late, in fact, as the bill accelerates down its greased skids. We choose to confer upon state Sen. Ed Murray, D-Seattle, the title Sultan of Secrecy as the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee has introduced 22 title-only bills. His excuses, according to an Associated Press story, are tha...
While attorneys know they have an ethical responsibility to serve the public -- most notably, to help fellow citizens who can't afford a lawyer with critical legal problems -- the reality is that many don't perform their pro bono duty. People have lots of excuses -- and some are justified," said University of Maryland law professor Douglas L. Colbert, who has written extensively about the profession's ethical responsibilities.

Today, industrialization, sprawl and pollution threaten to undo such cooperative efforts. [Josh Bradt] takes me around the lower reaches of San Pablo and Wildcat creeks, pointing out the mounting problems, as well as several of the "demonstration" restoration projects he has overseen. Both streams originate in protected headwater parks southeast of Richmond, wending through wealthier neighborhoods in the Berkeley Hills. Before exiting to the bay, the creeks meander, forming an hourglass-shaped floodplain on which rundown homes, rail yards, a sewage treatment plant and industrial firms huddle together. The endpoint of Wildcat Creek is a 250-acre marsh that provides vital fish and bird habitat. Chevron's massive refinery and tank farm loom over the marsh's southern edge. Here, from 1902 t...

THS truancy rate falls thanks to new program Taos truancy prevention specialist Necia Ethridge isn't just trying to keep kids in school, she's fighting apathy toward education. "We are so close to becoming a third-world country I'm working with sixth-graders who can't add," Ethridge said. "We're going to lose our status because of education." Ethridge and Taos High School social workerDavidVargas are fighting what they call an American epidemic of truancy- and for now, they may be winning. Half as many students have missed school without excuses so far this year as last year, Vargas says. Last year, out of about 1,000 students at Taos High, Vargas sent home 800 letters first semester. This year's fall semester he sent 398, just shy of half from this time last year. The referrals to the ...

The truth is, I've always been a Christian. What's amazing, man, is that the flaws that come widi Christianity are really weird, because mine have a microphone and a camera attached to them. Most people don't have to live under that microscope. I'm still very much a Christian and have a great relationship widi God. I love Him, but one of my flaws is that I cuss. I'm just being honest with you, man. But I'll tell you diis, the diing I did widi Bishop Jakes, "Don't Trip," is to date my absolute greatest piece of work Even as crazy as I am, I have enough sense to know that For instance, I see these women, and I'm asking, "Wow! Why would anybody want eight of these as a wife?" I'm looking at their outfits, and I'm going, "Man, these ain't the most appealing-looking outfits." Nobody says, "M...
