My new style blog crush: Nerd Boyfriend.

Top 25 Pizzas in the US.  I haven't tried the two they list for Boston (Galleria Umberto and Santarpio's) - another summer assignment for me.

From RaceWire: "When prosecutors are hell bent on scoring a conviction, some will go to any length to make their case. In an article profiling two men with convictions who believe DNA evidence will exonerate them, the New York Times reports that prosecutors often block DNA evidence using a variety of creative legal arguments, such as: even if the DNA test countered the prosecutors claims, it wouldn't be strong enough to exonerate a defendant, so why bother testing?"

The trouble with commencement speakers.  This is the speaker at my upcoming law school graduation.

Left: perfect summer style

Unbelievable!  "On Wednesday, the Senate Ways and Means Committee recommended a 46 percent - or $5 million - reduction for Massachusetts Legal Assistance Corporation (MLAC), the largest funding source for civil legal aid in the Commonwealth, in its FY10 budget."

It's beyond me how anyone could be so heartless. "When a loved one is in the hospital, you naturally want to be at the bedside. But what if the staff won’t allow it? That’s what Janice Langbehn, a social worker in Lacey, Wash., says she experienced when her partner of 18 years, Lisa Ponds, collapsed with an aneurysm during a Florida vacation and was taken to a Miami trauma center. She died there, at age 39, as Ms. Langbehn tried in vain to persuade hospital officials to let her visit, along with the couple’s adopted children."
