COLUMBIA, Mo. - Tenia Phillips has heard the horror stories about life after law school, circa 2011, from crushing student loan debt to recent graduates serving coffee at Starbucks. The reality check didn't deter the 27-year-old Texan from pursuing her childhood dream, though it took four years of working as an apartment leasing agent before she could start fall classes last week at the University of Missouri law school.

NIMBY's ugly head I applaud Jeff Crank for stating the obvious, NIMBY should not enter into our quest for energy sources. Fracking is a very emotional issue. However, facts show that it does not pollute groundwater, unless someone uses phony tests or data, as has been done by the EPA in the past. We have limited resources as it is and to create more code enforcement requirements increases costs of acquisition with little, if any, payback.

While the unemployment rate for veterans hovers around a point more than twice the national average, Congress voted unanimously to pass H.R. 674, as amended by the VOW to Hire Heroes Act of 2011.

State legislator's last year cut off Frank O'Bannon grants to inmates, including about 1,000 enrolled in Ball State classes. Those cuts mean a loss of about $3 million a year to Ball State and have resulted in the loss of all but four of Ball State's 80 prison teaching jobs. Most of those positions were filled by part-time adjunct faculty. We are exploring options, but there is nothing firm now," Indiana Department of Correction spokesman Doug Garrison said.

BAGHDAD - Iraq's presidency council issued a law Sunday that will allow thousands of Saddam Hussein-era officials to return to government jobs, legislation viewed by the Bush administration as central to mending deep fissures between minority Sunni Arabs and Kurds and the majority Shiites who now wield power. The measure, which was passed by parliament on Jan. 12, was the first of 18 key U.S.-set benchmarks to become law after months of bitter debate. But it was issued without the signature of the Sunni vice president, and the presidency council cited reservations and plans to seek changes in the bill, clouding hopes it would encourage reconciliation.

As the Iraq and Afghanistan wars persist, some employers are becoming increasingly resistant to rehire service members who return from active duty as federal law requires, legal analysts say. Washington lawyer Matthew Tully, who specializes in these cases, said that as the war on terrorism - which relies heavily on National Guard and Reserve units - stretches into its second decade, companies have become more familiar with the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act.
