Talk about the weather

Whether you wonder what happened to June, need a warm sunny windowsill for a nap or are investigating standards of care for plane, trains and automobiles, we all talk about the weather.  You can get not only a forecast going forward, but information on historical weather to determine why something might have happened on a particular day.  For a quick check of the weather on a particular date and location, try the Weather Underground .   For a more official source, use the National Weather Service.  This site includes certified weather data for use in litigation available through the National Climatic Data Center (NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information).

Studying for the Bar? Take a break when you need one.

Do you have a plan for your bar preparation?  One item to keep in mind is to take breaks when you are losing concentration.  A recent study appears to indicate that taking breaks improve attention. 

So listen to your inner-self and take a walk or get a quick snack.
