  on Mattel's Lawsuit To Claim Ownership Of Bratz Comes Back To Bite Big Time: Told To Pay $309 Million

  That's still 400 attorneys working full time for a year at a rediculously high billing rate of $500/hour!
  
  Or it could be 200 attorneys working for 4 years solid at a $250/hour billing rate.
  
  I guess there are court costs, etc. to figure in, but that amount still seems really high.

  on New Missouri Law May Make It Illegal To Friend Your Former Teachers On Facebook

  My kids have many teachers that use Facebook as a means for contact, when they need help with an assignment, or even for extra credit.
  
  Any type of technology could be used for inappropriate behavior between staff and students - email would be the easiest - but let's make use of technology where it can help!
