It's a welcome conundrum to have if you're a plaintiff's attorney: making your pitch to a jury for punitive damages. It often means this group of ordinary people already has agreed with you on the main point of your case and returned a verdict in your favor. Now you move into the phase where you urge jurors to send a message, to punish the defendant, a figure large enough to act as a warning to others not to act in the same reckless or dangerous manner. What do you say?
Arizona's university presidents have agreed on a magic number that represents per student funding parity among the three institutions. We would say to the Legislature and to the board, each Arizona student should carry state appropriation at $6,322," said Northern Arizona University President John Haeger at Thursday's Board of Regents meeting, held at Arizona State University.

It's a big week for big ideas on Western New York's art scene. The Albright-Knox Art Gallery's "Surveyor" takes a century- spanning look at the loaded subject of landscape. And over in the University at Buffalo's Art Gallery, a new exhibition called "Figuration and its Disconnects" attempts to explore the very spirit of contemporary existence through the prism of the human figure. A lofty goal, no doubt, and one for which curator Sandra Q. Firmin has enlisted the help of several local artists -- along with works from the gallery's permanent collection -- to accomplish. The show will focus on artists whose work in some way includes the human figure, with works by local artists Adam Weekley, Roberley Bell, Amanda Besl, Richard Huntington, Bruce Adams and other alumni of the Bey...
If his generation of artists today resemble the "21st Century Children of Gordon Gekko"- to employ a phrase recently coined to peg Wall Street traders- then de Balincourt is their Bud Fox: a figure whose slicked-back oil and acrylic routines have been known to provide, on occasion, nettlesome criticality to go along with prettily slathered - on paint De Balincourt's latest solo show splits the difference between pleasing collectors and- in half the work- satisfying bis own critical self.
BLOOMINGTON - A lot of attention has been paid to the Teachers' Retirement System's "unfunded liability" in recent years, but TRS spokesman David Urbanek contends focusing only on that number - $43.5 billion - can be misleading. The figure is part of TRS' total $81 billion liability - both funded and unfunded, he said. The total is what TRS owes and will owe all members - active, inactive and retired - over the next 30 years. He compares it to paying a mortgage.
MORGANTOWN - When asked for his reaction to some rather odd West Virginia selections - or lack thereof - on the Big East's annual postseason all-league teams, Dana Holgorsen had precisely the right answer. I don't pay attention to that stuff," West Virginia's rookie head coach said. "I think [WVU director of football communications] Mike Montoro sent me an e-mail with some names on it. I didn't go through it and look. This is a team sport, so I could care less about that stuff.
Bradley wins first U.S. title: Ryan Bradley's free skate was flawed, uncharacteristically conservative and, frankly, a little disappointing. Not that Bradley cares. A national title is a national title, regardless of how you get it. Boosted by his big lead from the short program and meltdowns by the guys who'd been right behind him, Bradley won his first crown at the U.S. Championships on Sunday afternoon. He finished fourth in the free skate, but it was enough to edge up-and- comers Richard Dornbush and Ross Miner.
