Plano schools reach undisclosed settlement with custodian over employment lawsuit

PLANO - "(Carino) stated that he had become interested in making nooses when he read a World War II adventure story called 'The Dirty Dozen,'" the report said, "but that he had been unaware of the offensive historical connotations of the noose for African-Americans."

Deciding Donte' Stallworth's LA DUI penalty

Instead of comparing Donte' Stallworth to Michael Vick, as many NFL fans and commentators have, Commissioner Roger Goodell should put Stallworth in another category altogether.

All players who register a high blood-alcohol content during a DUI arrest should be held to roughly the same standard Stallworth has to meet.

On Wednesday the FDIC said it was open to the idea of selling failed banks in pieces.

Chicago small business lawyer doesn't rule out someone who might surface, tempted to bid on Corus with a generous helping of FDIC assistance.

"But it's entirely possible no one will bid on Corus and the FDIC will have to run it under a conservatorship, which would be terrible."
