ARGh, can't believe you beat me to it!
The NY Times article says the Gitmo detainee's trial by a military commission at Gitmo will proceed, and the DC District Court rejected his effort to stop it.

"Congratulations to John Quinn and Quinn Emanuel."

congratulations to john quinn and quinn emanuel

I'll stop billing by the hour once my plumber does
Plumbers charge $50 just to show up. Then the fun starts. Apparently I need a flux capacitor to fix my garbage disposal. On the sunny side, I got to see his butt crack.
12:26 where do you live? by me they charge $100just to show
12:26 oh i did not mean to show the butt-crack
The first article has nothing to do with whether the billable hour system is sustainable. It's about flextime.
