Charles Barkley, the former NBA star and current television analyst, put his two cents in regarding the presidential race during a broadcast of an NBA playoff game on Sunday night. Romney was at the game between the Atlanta Hawks and the Boston Celtics with his wife Ann. He was shown talking with people in the stands at the TD Garden in Boston during the telecast of the game on TNT.
“We’re going to beat you like a drum in November,” Barkley said. “Don’t take it personally. You seem like a nice guy, but you’re going down, bro.”

Law firms of all sizes are being much more selective about who makes equity partner. Gone are the days where doing good work and putting in your time is enough to get you to a profit sharing level. Today, equity partners almost always have to prove that they can contribute their share to the firm. So what does this mean for associates and how can a two-tiered partnership track be beneficial? With a two-tiered partnership structure, associates get more time to prove themselves and also more time to determine whether partnership is the right goal for them.
