A second consecutive day of 80 degree-plus weather has kept Seattle’s gorgeous summer intact for yet another day. I feel kind of bad commenting on how nice things are here in our little slice of pacific northwest heaven when the east coast just experienced its largest earthquake in over 60 years and is currently in preparation for taking on Hurricane Irene by week’s end. Though nothing compares to natural disasters, things are shaking up in the LexBlog Network. Today’s roundup includes a whirlwind of change, including trademark woes for iconic designer shoes, political and legal reform in the deep south and of course the departure of Steve Jobs from Apple. There is a lot going on today indeed. On a more serious note, everyone here at LexBlog continues to send sincere thoughts and wishes to our friends on the east coast during this difficult time. Also, check out Washington, D.C. attorney David Oxenford’s post on emergency communications during natural disasters.
