National Water-Quality Assessment:
Geological Survey Faces Formidable Data Management Challenges
IMTEC-93-30: Published: Jun 30, 1993. Publicly Released: Aug 2, 1993.
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Water-Quality Assessment Program's (NAWQA) efforts to obtain and use water-quality data.
GAO found that: (1) the NAWQA program has sought ways to cooperate and share related data with other federal, state, and local agencies to offset the expense of collecting, analyzing, and storing water-quality data and provide a national assessment of water resources; (2) NAWQA has encountered many obstacles in obtaining existing external data including the data's inability to meet NAWQA needs as a secondary user, the lack of data uniformity and inconsistent data management practices between NAWQA and other data collection organizations, secondary users' uncertainty of the quality of data it did not collect, and difficulties in determining how to use data collected by other organizations that have different sampling and analysis practices; (3) some local NAWQA sites have had success in overcoming obstacles by expanding their sampling and analysis activities to meet NAWQA needs, examining quality assurance procedures, and developing compatible software to permit electronic data transfer; and (4) interagency and intergovernmental efforts to overcome data obstacles include establishing programs that examine data quality and facilitate interagency coordination, developing national water-quality data standards and procedures, and implementing a national strategy to integrate monitoring efforts, efficiently use resources, effectively distribute information, and provide comparable data.

April 19, 2005
With a stroke of a pen, King County officially became Martin Luther King Junior County today, as Governor Christine Gregoire signed Senate Bill 5332 into law at the King County Courthouse. About 100 citizens, community leaders and local and state elected leaders attended the bill signing that came 19 years after the King County Council voted to rename the county to honor civil rights leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The county was originally named in 1852 for William Rufus King, Vice President for President Franklin Pierce. Since the state charters all counties, state law had to be changed to make the renaming official. State Senator Adam Kline sponsored state legislation eight consecutive years before the legislature this year voted to authorize the name change. State Representative Eric Pettigrew sponsored the bill in the State House of Representatives.
King County Executive Ron Sims and Bruce Laing co-sponsored the county name change in 1986 while both were members of the County Council. In his remarks today, Sims recalled that the idea was born out of the advocacy of community leaders and newspaper columnist Shelby Scates who believed that the county's name should symbolize justice and equality which the Reverend Dr. King fought for.
View the motion, which was passed on Feb. 24, 1986, here.

West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace has increased his majority stake in the club to 76.4 percent with the purchase of a further 905 shares.
West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace has increased his majority stake in the club to 76.4 percent with the purchase of a further 905 shares.
A big name in Spain but little known in England, we take a look at West Brom's new Head Coach, Pepe Mel.
With Aston Villa struggling near the relegation zone, Paul Lambert will be desperate for a win against former club Norwich.
West Bromwich Albion have explained why they gave Shane Long permission to talk to Hull City on transfer deadline day, and say that the striker is still part of the club's plans. They deny that the transfer was dependent on Romelu Lukaku moving to the Hawthorns.
Albion say the deal fell through because Hull reduced the amount they'd offered for Long. They say that they're delighted Long is still a West Brom player and expect him to carry to contributing to the progress of the club.
West brom midfielder Zoltan Gera will miss the rest of the season due to a knee injury, the club have confirmed.
Scans have confirmed the 33-year-old midfielder has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
Gera suffered the injury in the 21st minute of Saturday's FA Cup third-round tie at QPR and is due to undergo an operation next week.
The usual rehab time for this injury is six-to-nine months.
All @wbafcofficial are saddened to hear of the passing of legendary Albion striker Derek Kevan. Our thoughts are with his family & friends.
Hereford 3 – 1 Shrewsbury
Stoke will be without Marc Wilson for three months for tomorrow's Barclays Premier League match at Norwich. Andy Wilkinson is expected to fill in at left-back.
Midfielder Glenn Whelan was not deemed fit enough to take part in that match but is now available for selection again having recovered from his hamstring problem, while Potters manager Tony Pulis has indicated winger Matthew Etherington could be line for a return to the first XI.
Provisional squad: Begovic, Sorensen, Huth, Shawcross, Cameron, Upson, Shotton, Whelan, Etherington, Delap, Palacios, Jones, Jerome, Crouch, Walters, Kightly, Whitehead, Adam, Edu, Nzonzi, Owen, Ness, Wilkinson.
Left-back Joe Bennett will return from suspension after being sent-off against Norwich for tomorrow's Barclays Premier League clash at Sunderland.
However, midfielder Karim El Ahmadi will have to serve a one-game ban after incurring his fifth booking of the season during the midweek Capital One Cup win at Swindon.
Villa defender Chris Herd is a fitness doubt after being substituted with a knee injury at the County Ground.
Provisional squad: Guzan, Given, Lowton, Lichaj, Clark, Vlaar, Baker, Herd, Ireland, Westwood, Bannan, Delph, Holman, Bent, Agbonlahor, Benteke, Bowery, Weimann, Burke, Johnson, Williams.

Survey: Physicians Cite Need for New Therapies for HCV Infection
Clinicians and patients await interferon-free regimens (Nov. 15)
BioTrends Research Group, a research and advisory firm based in Exton, Pa., reports that, although Incivek (telaprevir, Vertex) and Victrelis (boceprevir, Merck) have provided much-needed advances in the treatment of genotype-1 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, there is still an unmet need for treating these patients.
Nearly all surveyed physicians agreed that the protease inhibitors are important advances for the treatment of HCV infection and will continue to be an important option for prior failures and partial responders; however, 84% of physicians also agreed that there is still a need for alternative therapies for HCV infection. Furthermore, gastroenterologists, hepatologists, and infectious disease (ID) specialists ranked the unmet need for new therapeutic options for HCV infection as greater than for any other condition typically treated by these physicians.
Despite slightly higher rates of discontinuation, due primarily to poor patient tolerability, physicians are currently using Incivek in a greater proportion of their genotype-1 HCV patients than they are using Victrelis. Incivek rated significantly higher than Victrelis on overall physician satisfaction and overall performance.
The company also reports that surveyed gastroenterologists, hepatologists, and ID specialists do not anticipate using products that are not currently available in the treatment of HCV infection within the next 6 months for their genotype-1 HCV patients. Physicians indicated that they do not think agents in development will be available within that period, or, if available, they will not use them. Nevertheless, approximately half of surveyed physicians reported that they are beginning to intentionally delay treatment for certain HCV patients until new interferon-free regimens become available. In addition, nearly half of the physicians also reported that many of their HCV patients are denying treatment in anticipation of emerging interferon-free regimens currently in development.
With regard to products in the pipeline, daclatasvir (BMS-790052, Bristol-Myers Squibb) and sofosbuvir (GS-7977, Gilead) garnered the highest degree of familiarity and interest for use in HCV infection, according to the survey respondents. When rating which agents in late-stage development would bring the most value to their practices, surveyed physicians selected sofosbuvir as the most valuable, followed by daclatasvir, simeprevir (TMC-435, Tibotec/Medivir), and faldaprevir (BI201335, Boehringer Ingelheim).

Embargo, a Cuban-themed bar in Downtown Fort Worth, benefits from strong drinks and rich décor. The club, lit mostly by soft candlelight, has a stage where Latin bands perform on the weekends, plus a large dance floor. The seating is intimate with tobacco-colored wooden booths separated from the room by red velvet curtains. The round bar, behind which the bartenders furiously muddle mint leaves into strong mojitos, has seating on all sides. Ironically, though, unlike any other bar in Fort Worth - and Havana, for that matter - Embargo has a no-smoking policy.

"These are a very nice and inexpensive solution to slamming cabinet doors. They were simple to install, only required small adjustment to door hinges afterwards as they put pressure on the corners. I wish all cabinets came with these from the factory but at least there is this easy option for those that don't. Need to pick up just a couple more to finish the doors that I don't use frequently. Very nice upgrade."
"easy to install and worked very well. I had to adjust some hinges to get the doors to close completely . great product"
"Prompt shipment and easy to install. A couple of doors would still slam shut but after readjusting the hinges, they worked fine. I would recommend the product. "
"Replaced junk that came with our new cabinets with your closers. Works well."
"These are a must for anyone who has older cabinets that slam shut. We just remodeled our kitchen and reused some cabinets in our laundry. These are great and the doors are so quiet now. I am going to order more for other cabinets now that I know they work so well."
"The unit is made to look like metal, but is made mostly of plastic. The unit will not stand up to many cycles of door closing before breaking. Good concept, but poor quality."
"Not being an experienced cabinet maker, this was undertaken as an after market improvement to recently installed cabinets. Aside from that fact, I was pleasantly surprised with the results albeit the install was difficult for me."
"With soft closing hinges going at exorbitant prices, this is a great way to get the up to date soft close result at an extremely low price. Easy to install, works well. Some hinges might be over stressed as this generates the soft close by loading the nearest hinge in an odd way."
"You don't think you may need these, but, I'm here to tell you otherwise. This changed every cabinet in my house so much, I am mad at myself for NOT buying these sooner.Once you have tried them, you'll NEVER go without them, believe me."
"Some of my kitchen cabinets are missing their door bumpers. As a result, these doors slam shut unless you are very gentle when closing. Even doors that have all their bumpers can make noise. This product looked like a perfect solution, and, my wife was anxious to have these installed.I didn't see the recommendation to use two per door for "3 hinge" doors so I ordered only "1" per door. One per door worked out just fine for all doors including some taller, 40 X 20, 3 hinge doors.For installation, I purchased a new, split point, 3/32 drill bit. When I tried to use an older bit from my shop, the bit wanted to wander, probably due to the sharp entry angle. Absolutely no problems when using the new bit although trying to drill at a angle in the somewhat restricted door opening was a little challenging. For the lower cabinets, I was actually lying on the floor!If I did this for a living, I would make a "jig" to make it easier to hold the angle. It didn't take more than about 5 minutes per door for installation.I liked the fact that I didn't have to adjust a single unit. Closing speed seemed just fine without doing anything.I had about 30 doors to do but benefited from a quantity discount as well as a coupon. Delivery was very quick and I thought shipping costs were reasonable as well."
"I did buy an angled power screw driver and that made the projectmuch easier. Also, you need to predrill the screw holes."
"My cabinets are a builder grade, the door depth from the face frame varies. Bought a couple universal door dampers from Ikea just to try them. They work great, the adjustment positions the damper in and out. The Unisoft don't adjust in this manner so if the door sits a little further out it lets the door hit. A small spacer put on the inside of the door takes up the gap and works fine. Found a vinyl floor tile that matched the cabinet very well. can't even tell they are there for the couple I had to use the spacers on. Just some depth adjustment would made these great for the price."
"Brilliant addition to existing cabinets."
"Housing is plastic but seems adequate"
"I purchased 6 Unisoft Soft Door closers to try. They worked perfectly. I used them on 3\4" Solid Oak Raised Panel doors sized 12" x 15" to 14" x 64". I expected them to work better on the lighter doors but they work well on all the doors. The adjusting screw needs to be tweaked slightly for the different sized doors. I am extremely pleased. I am going to order more of these for the rest of my cabinet doors. "
"(no comment given)"
"I had these installed on my new kitchen cabinets, loved them so much I bought them for my laundry cabinets."
"Works perfectly in my kitchen cabinets. The install was easy and took less than 5 mins."
"These hinges were very easy to install, but they work just "ok". Some of the cabinets still hit the base, but open back up and close slowly. I think they'd work better if the stopper stuck out a little farther. "
"Excellent product! Does a good job!"
"quality product Quick Ship thanks"
"Installed on older bath vanity 3/8" inset cabinet doors along with self closing hinges.These Unifosft soft closers work perfectly and I'm very happy. It was pretty simple to adapt these to the door/frame. "
"These are the same parts IKEA uses, and I bought these to replace lost parts for IKEA cabinets. They worked great. "
"soft close is great,but the hinges i previously bought did not have enough spring to close properly,thank you"
"Three (3) of these parts failed the first week after the cabinets were installed. I had to purchsase replacement parts."

Road crash victim was not wearing seat belt (From Daily Echo)

Joe Keet died of multiple injuries after crash on Heath Road in Soberton
Updated 1:12pm Sunday 8th June 2014 in News By Maxwell Kusi-Obodum, Senior reporter
A MAN died when his drink-driving cousin crashed their car and ploughed into a tree on a Hampshire country road, an inquest heard.
Joe Keet, 38, suffered multiple injuries when he was thrown through the windscreen during the collision on Heath Road, Soberton.
At a Southampton inquest a coroner ruled that the "loss of concentration" by driver Harry Keet had caused the crash but that Joe Keet's failure to wear a seatbelt had ultimately claimed his life.
Harry Keet, 20, was previously sentenced to 16 months in jail and handed a five-year driving ban after pleading guilty to causing death while driving under the influence of alcohol.
The inquest heard how both men – from a travelling family – left the Bold Forester pub in Soberton shortly before 10pm on September 22 last year.
Their silver Ford Fiesta left the carriageway a short way down the road and crashed into a tree – throwing the older man from the vehicle and onto the bonnet.
The groundworker from Firgrove Lane, North Boarhunt, was declared dead at the scene while his cousin – who was wearing a seatbelt – needed hospital treatment for cuts and bruises and was subsequently arrested after being found to be over the drink-driving limit.
Southampton coroner Grahame Short recorded a road traffic accident verdict and said: "He wasn't wearing a seatbelt and as a result of that crash he suffered multiple injuries."

Famous Paintings You Can't Get on Loan
The Guardian has a fascinating article about the few artistic masterpieces that are considered either too fragile or too precious to loan to other museums:
Girl with a Pearl Earring thus joins the select band of art treasures that never see the outside world. Botticelli's Birth of Venus never leaves the Uffizi in Florence; Las Meninas by Velázquez stays put at the Prado in Madrid; Picasso's Guernica remains just down the road at the Reina Sofia museum; and his Demoiselles d'Avignon can only be seen at MoMA in New York.
Other sedentary art works include La Joie de Vivre by Matisse, Le Facteur Roulin by Van Gogh and Les Joueurs de Cartes by Cézanne, which are unlikely ever to leave the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia. It is impossible for the Isenheim altarpiece to leave the Unterlinden museum in Colmar, or for Degas' Petite Danseuse de Quatorze Ans to escape from the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. Needless to say, the Mona Lisa is under lock and key in the Louvre, Paris.
So why are all these famous pieces so stay-at-home? Predictably the principal reason is their state of health. Many of them, including the Mona Lisa, were painted on wood and are very sensitive to climatic changes, making travel a major worry.

Mumme on Labor as a Commodity
Claire Mumme (Windsor) has posted Property in Labour and the Limits of Contract (Book Chapter) on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
As has long been recognized, the contract of employment depends on the commodification of labour power. Notwithstanding debates amongst political theorists and trade union activists about whether individuals should be viewed self-owners, and whether it is possible to sell one's capabilities without selling one's self, the law does treat labour power as a commodity. There has been little research on the ways in which the law does so, however, for the simple reason that self-ownership of one's laboring capacities is often taken as fact, as the starting premise for analysis, and treated as a necessary pre-condition for individual self-realization through contract. Moreover, proprietary and contractual forms of regulating work are often presented as diametrically opposed: a proprietary method of labour regulation is said to create a relationship of slavery, while contract is presented as an institution of choice.
This paper argues that an analysis of labour power as property, and its relationship to contract, emphasizes that both contract and property are enmeshed in the legal regulation of waged employment. Examining the ways in which the courts have given shape to individual's proprietary rights over their labour power, and have set the terms for its exchange, demonstrates that the limitations on employers rights of control are not inherent to the contractual form. Instead, they often depend on wider social processes, such as production and labour processes, collective bargaining, and statutory regulation. Examining proprietary rights over labour power provides another window onto the malleability of the contractual form, and the degree to which political choices are made by courts and legislators in determining the terms of the employment contract.
This paper therefore investigates the relationship between contract, and labour power as property. To do so the historical evolution of contractual limitations on employers' rights of control will be canvassed, and the ways in which these limitations are now fraying. In particular, the development of the managerial prerogative from a property to a contract-based interest is described, and the ways in which concepts of working-time have operated, in theory, to separate in law the commodification of labour power from the commodification of self. Finally, the paper concludes by examining the ways in which these limiting mechanisms are beginning to disappear, as collective bargaining protections dissipate and the statutory protections are rolled back.

How Much is a Sand Dune Easement Worth?
The property owners thought a few hundred thousand dollars. A jury awarded them $300:
A jury has awarded a Harvey Cedars couple just $300 as compensation for the borough's taking of land needed to build a sand dune and berm to protect against damage from storms such as Hurricane Sandy, state officials said today.
The ruling, made Friday by a panel in state Superior Court in Ocean County, paled in comparison to the $200,000 Victor and Carolyn Groisser sought for their land, in addition to $600,000 they sought in damages, the Attorney General's Office said.
The case was remanded for a new trial after the state Supreme Court ruled last year that property owners were not entitled to "a windfall" or "a payout that disregards the home's enhanced value resulting from a public project," such as sand dunes.
The court held that such a value must be factored into the fair compensation equation.
"This jury's decision supports the state's position that protecting homes and entire communities is more important than individual ocean views," Bob Martin, commissioner of the state Department of Environmental Protection, said in a statement.

Glicksman on Market-Based Environmental Programs
Robert Glicksman (George Washington) has posted Regulatory Safeguards for Accountable Ecosystem Service Markets in Wetlands Development (Kansas Law Review) on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
The use of environmental markets creates the potential for achieving environmental protection goals more efficiently than traditional regulation is capable of doing. Past experience with emissions trading programs and other forms of environmental markets that operate in conjunction with traditional regulatory programs, however, illustrates the risks that accompany reliance on market-based strategies. In particular, participants in environmental regulatory markets have in some instances manipulated them to enhance private gain while undercutting public environmental objectives. Using the wetlands mitigation component of the federal Clean Water Act's dredge and fill permit program as an example, this essay recommends that market-based environmental programs incorporate five different types of safeguards to promote the accountability of both market participants and the agencies supervising the operation of those programs. Reliance on financial safeguards, verifiable performance standards, transparency and public participation safeguards, oversight mechanisms such as monitoring and inspections, and rule of law safeguards can preserve opportunities for efficient achievement of environmental protection goals while reducing the risk that markets will be used to subvert those goals.

Renovating a Kitchen as a Renter
The New York Times Real Estate Section runs a reader Q&A:
Q. We live in a rent-stabilized apartment. Many years ago, at our own expense, we upgraded our kitchen, installing counters, tiling and new appliances. We also moved the kitchen sink about two feet. No plumbing was altered other than the visible line leading to the sink. The superintendent was aware of the work and, in fact, assisted at one point. The kitchen now is markedly superior to its former self and will be an asset to the landlord at some point in the future. But my question is: Can our lease be terminated for work done so long ago?Morningside Heights, Manhattan
A. If you violate the terms of your lease, there is a six-year statute of limitations on any claims a landlord could make against you. So if the work was done more than six years ago, you can probably exhale now.Continue reading the main storyRelated Coverage Ask Real Estate: More Articles in the SeriesBut before you pop open the champagne in your fancy kitchen, think hard about the plumbing work you did, because your case might be a glaring exception to that rule. If any of the work violated city building codes, you could be in a precarious position. If you did not get proper permits for the plumbing work, for example, that could constitute a violation of the law, and there is no statute of limitations when it comes to building code violations as a breach of the lease.
"Basically, the violation renews every single day," said Michael P. Kozek, a lawyer who represents tenants.
Even if the landlord knew about the work for years, a judge would be reluctant to waive a claim against you if the work is illegal. If the landlord decides one day to evict you over the kitchen, you could agree to put the kitchen back to its original state and keep your apartment. But that would not be an easy task to accomplish, because it would probably be hard to recreate an antiquated, deteriorating kitchen.
Some courts have allowed tenants to legalize the work already done by obtaining a permit and performing any necessary work to correct the violation, provided the work does not constitute a substantial injury to the apartment or pose a risk of harm to neighboring tenants.
"I would sit tight for now," Mr. Kozek said. "If the landlord becomes aware of it, then immediately contact a lawyer to see if a resolution can be reached."

Mulligan on The Cost of Personal Property Servitudes
Christina Mulligan (Brooklyn) has posted The Cost of Personal Property Servitudes: Lessons for the Internet of Things on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
Why has the common law evolved to disfavor complex and nonpossessory personal property interests, while allowing comparative flexibility in real property? In recent decades, the blossoming of time shares, condominiums, and servitudes has dramatically increased variation in real property rights. But as restrictions on real property forms have eased, personal property forms have remained — and, indeed, have always been — severely and comparatively limited.
This Article will posit three reasons why simple, elegant interests are the norm in personal property. First, because personal property is small, mobile, and often fungible, the information costs associated with determining which property is burdened or fragmented are significantly higher than those associated with pieces of real property. Second, because personal property is generally inexpensive, the information costs associated with determining its status are frequently not worth paying. And finally, because the number of pieces of personal property one interacts with is so great, the information costs associated with correctly understanding them would be, in the aggregate, impracticable to pay if too many types of interests were permitted.
These reasons indicate that greater flexibility in property interests is most beneficial when property is distinct, valuable, and rarely encountered. In comparison, greater standardization is appropriate when property is fungible, lacks value, and is casually or frequently interacted with.
This analysis has implications for the debate within intellectual property law concerning the degree to which content owners may customize license agreements for using digital goods, software-embedded goods, and patented goods subject to conditional sales. Because the characteristics of intellectual-property-embedded goods bear a stronger resemblance to those of personal property than to those of real property, their use should be governed by the same straightforward rules as personal property rather than by the flexible and verbose terms in license agreements.

An Update on Dukeminier & Krier
Josh Blackman continues to stay on top of the doings at Aspen:
After I declared a partial victory in #AspenGate, I decided to stay with the 7th edition of the excellent property book, Dukeminier & Krier. My plan was to stick with the old edition for a semester, see how things go with the 8th edition, and maybe update it next year. That turned out not to be possible. My campus book store informed me that it was impossible to obtain any new copies of the 7th edition, and he could only obtain 50 used copies (I have 125 students in my two sections). My Aspen rep confirmed this. The market for used books will soon dry up. Rather than leaving my students to the mercy of buying used books on Amazon, I reluctantly agreed to move up to the 8th edition.
To make things fair, I asked my book store to stock *both* the traditional print version that you can keep ($223 with the ISBN of 9781454851363) and the "casebook connect" version that you rent ($182 with the ISBN of 9781454837602). At least students will have the option of how they wish to proceed. I encourage adopters of this book to ask their book stores to do the same.
Please note that if you purchase the Casebook Connect version (the print version and the digital version), you are not buying the book to keep, but only renting it. According to the terms of the license, you do not own the book, and are required to return the book when you are finished with it. You will not be able to resell it, as you are only leasing the book. If you will not use the electronic version, and plan on reselling your book, or want to keep it, you may considering buying the traditional print version, at a higher price. For more information, please see the attached article from the ABA Journal.
I think students will appreciate it. One of my former students who saw the ABA Journal article sent me this kind note:
I appreciated your paying attention and taking the time to inject your logic. Books are a keystone to education (of all kinds) and it's nice of you to stick up for us. While I pay cash for my books (and my tuition), your point about school loans was well taken last semester. I have friends who are borrowing money to pay for books. Your attention to books prices was greatly appreciated by all of us as a class. We did notice.
Professors should all remain vigilant on this front.

Map of the Day: How Tight is Your State
It is obvious to anyone who has traveled around the United States that cultural assumptions, behaviors, and norms vary widely. We all know, for instance, that the South is more politically conservative than the Northeast. And we at least vaguely assume that this is rooted in different outlooks on life.
But why do these different outlooks exist, and correspond so closely to different regions? In a paper recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (and discussed more here), psychologists Jesse R. Harrington and Michele J. Gelfand of the University of Maryland propose a sweeping theory to explain this phenomenon. Call it the theory of "tightness-looseness": The researchers show, through analysis of anything from numbers of police per capita to the availability of booze, that some US states are far more "tight"—meaning that they "have many strongly enforced rules and little tolerance for deviance." Others, meanwhile, are more "loose," meaning that they "have few strongly enforced rules and greater tolerance for deviance."
The 10 tightest states? Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Louisiana, Kentucky, South Carolina, and North Carolina. The 10 loosest, meanwhile, are California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Hawaii, New Hampshire, and Vermont. (Notice a pattern here?)

Alexander on Intergenerational Communities
Gregory Alexander (Cornell) has posted Intergenerational Communities (Law & Ethics of Human Rights) on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
Under the human flourishing theory of property, owners have obligations, positive as well as negative, that they owe to members of the various communities to which they belong. But are the members of those communities limited to living persons, or do they include non-living persons as well, i.e., future persons and the dead? This Article argues that owners owe two sorts of obligation to non-living members of our generational communities, one general, the other specific. The general obligation is to provide future generations with the basic material background conditions that are necessary for them to be able to carry out what I call life-transcending projects that their forebears have transmitted to them. The specific obligation is project-specific; that is, its purpose is to enable successive generational community members to whom particular life-transcending projects have been forwarded to be carried out in their way. The future generational members to whom the project is transferred must also be given whatever resources or goods are necessary to carry the project forward in its intended way. I argue further that each generational community owes its predecessors the obligation to accept life transcending projects transmitted to them by their forebears and make reasonable efforts to carry those projects forward into the future. The obligation is based on the past generational community members' dependency on their successors for the projects to continue into the future, a matter that is constitutive of the project creators' flourishing. This obligation is defeasible, rather than absolute, however.

'Strip Club Mogul' Buys House Next to Ex-Wife, Erects Giant Middle Finger Sculpture
Gawker does some reporting on the above picture:
A Michigan man has reportedly gone to Internet-ready lengths in order to troll his ex-wife with a daily reminder of his feelings towards her.
According to a person claiming to be the ex-wife's daughter, the crazy-wealthy Bloomfield Hillsman, identified only as "Alan," allegedly purchased the house next door to his ex . . . . He then went a step further and purchased an expensive bronze statue of a middle finger, which he placed on the back porch and aimed at his ex-wife's house. As if that weren't quite enough passive aggression, Alan ensured the statue was visible 24/7 by shining a spotlight on it after dark.

Dagan on Liberalism and the Private Law of Property
Hanoch Dagan (Tel Aviv) has posted Liberalism and the Private Law of Property (Critical Analysis of Law) on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
This Essay reviews Alan Brudner's neo-Hegelian theory of property. It critically analyzes Brudner's conceptualization of the moral significance of property for private sovereignty, his understanding of the relationship between individual independence and self-determination, and his account of what makes private law private. I argue that Brudner is wrong on all three fronts and, furthermore, criticize his account of the market's putative legitimation of property and public law's alleged amelioration of the injustices entailed by a private law libertarian scheme.
Notwithstanding these failures, I salute Brudner's ambitious and provocative project not only due to its many insights, but also because it helpfully elucidates the main strands of justification that property law must face. Indeed, a credible theory of property-for-self-determination must begin by remedying Brudner's errors as per the moral significance of property for private sovereignty, the relationship between independence and self-determination, and the distinctive nature of private law. This Essay provides preliminary suggestions on all three fronts.

Ellickson on The Affirmative Duties of Property Owners
Robert Ellickson (Yale) has posted The Affirmative Duties of Property Owners on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
As a result of his ownership of property, Rip Van Winkle might have incurred a variety of criminal and civil liabilities during the course of his twenty-year sleep. Possibilities are a conviction for neglecting care of his livestock, civil liability to a neighbor for having failed to contribute to the costs of a fence along a common boundary, and forfeiture of his lands for having failed to pay local property taxes. This essay investigates the nature of these affirmative obligations of owners. Concerns about curbing information costs, a central theme in Thomas Merrill's scholarly works, underlie the structure of many of these duties, and help explain their relative paucity. The analysis illuminates several recent strands of property theory, including Larissa Katz's notion that a state may choose to "govern through owners." It reveals major defects in Gregory Alexander's argument that owners should bear a generalized obligation to share their wealth. Alexander's proposed duty would greatly increase the information costs that individuals would bear in navigating daily life, and would embroil adjudicators in tasks far better handled by drafters of tax and welfare legislation.

Houses Built Out of Spite
The Atlantic Cities blog does a quick history:
There are a handful of so-called "spite houses" enlivening the streets of America. Thrown up by cranks and malcontents, these structures take many forms but share a common function: To punish the neighbors by blocking their view, blacking out their sunlight, or making their life a little more hellish in some other nefarious way. Many were constructed in the days when building codes were lax, and so their underlying contempt and animosity has been grandfathered into the modern landscape.
[One example:] This envelope of a Seattle dwelling at left above, what some might call a stand-alone hallway, actually sold for an unknown amount in 2013 (the listed price was $397,500). The problem with the Montlake Spite House is not its 860 square feet, which would make for a decent studio in New York. It's how those feet are proportioned, with 15-foot-wide walls at one end cramping down to 55 inches at the other, narrower than a typical prison cell. "The one-bedroom house at 2022 24th Ave. E. in Montlake was built in 1925 by someone trying to get back at a neighbor for making an insultingly low offer for the tiny slice of land on which it sits," writes the Seattle Times. "It worked; the house blocked the neighbors' open space and they moved."

Brophy & Thie on Slaves and Inheritance
Al Brophy (UNC) & Douglas Thie (Independent) have posted Land, Slaves, and Bonds: Trust and Probate in the Pre-Civil War Shenandaoh Valley on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
"Land, Slaves, and Bonds" samples wills filed for probate in Rockbridge County in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley from 1820 to 1861, to detail the changes in probate practice during that era of market revolution. We report the gender, familial status, distributions, and use of trusts of the 128 testators sampled. Their choices often involved leaving part of their property to their surviving spouses for their lives, then outright to their sons and in trust to their daughters. Nearly forty percent owned enslaved human property and distributed their slaves among their children. Occasionally they freed their enslaved human property. This study also traces changes in sophistication of wills and accompanying trusts over time. Thus it provides an important window into how Rockbridge County residents used the legal process to transmit wealth between generations and to preserve it.
The forty years leading into Civil War were ones of extraordinary expansion in the economy, communication, transportation, and technology of the United States; the legal technology studied here reflects that growth in wealth and sophistication. At the same time, as the vigorous market economy was expanding -- as testators' wealth was increasingly reflected in personal property such as stock rather than real property -- there were problems with identifying reliable agents (executors and trustees). Thus, testators continued to place a premium on family members to manage their wealth; and they also took extraordinary means, such as use of sophisticated trust documents and marriage settlements, to maintain property within their families. This study shows that testators turned frequently to legal technology to manage property and keep it within their families. They used the vehicles to keep property out of the hands of creditors, especially the creditors of their sons-in-laws, Thus, legal technology helped balance the impersonal market revolution.
The data have several implications. They reveal how people reacted to the expanding, impersonal economy where property owners frequently had to rely on trust, even if it was dangerous to do so because it was difficult to police the actions of agents. That era of the breakdown of "trust" was a central impetus to the turn to trust documents to protect a family's wealth. The data show the importance of legal technology in adapting to a rapidly changing economy and a rapidly expanding world. They also demonstrate the rapid rise in sophistication of trusts and relocate the roots of modern trust law, such as the spendthrift trust, to the pre-Civil War era, even though it is frequently written about as a device of the post-War era.

Major Property Decision in Canada
This is a little bit late, but it deserves the notice of the property world. At the end of June, the Canadian Supreme Court released a major decision about the land rights of aboriginal peoples. The case, Tsilhqot'in Nation v. Her Majesty the Queen, firmly establishes First Nation claims to a large and defined swath of British Columbia. In practice, this means that efforts to mine, build pipelines, or develop areas in many areas of BC will be subject to the interests and title of First Peoples.
Here's some historical background from the Globe & Mail.
BC resident and property-prof extraordinaire, Doug Harris, also had a great Op-Ed in the Vancouver Sun explaining the legal issues. The whole thing is worth reading, but there's a quick summary of the case:
The Supreme Court of Canada recognized a large, contiguous land-mass in central B.C. as aboriginal title lands in the Tsilhqot'in Nation vs. British Columbia case. It is the first time a Canadian court has recognized aboriginal title in a specific territory.
The SCOC also confirmed the broad content of the right. Aboriginal title is a property interest that is derived from exclusive occupation and amounts to a right to exclusive use. Aboriginal peoples are not restricted to using title lands for traditional purposes. Only those uses that would deny future generations the continuing benefit of the land are prohibited.
These elements of the SCOC judgment have received much early attention, and justly so. They will have profound effects on the province and the country.
But the next part of the judgment, described as the justifiable infringement test, also deserves attention. It is here the SCOC has located the balancing of aboriginal title with other rights and interests.
The justifiable infringement test arises once a First Nation has established aboriginal title. At this point, the Crown (either the federal or provincial government) has an opportunity to justify infringements of that title.
The fact aboriginal title may be infringed reveals that it — as other constitutionally protected rights — is not absolute. The recognition of aboriginal title must include some balancing with other rights and, the SCOC indicated, other interests.

Katz on Relativity of Title
Larissa Katz (Toronto) has posted Relativity of Title and Causa Possessionis (Book Chapter) on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
It is often said nowadays that to any dispute between those who claim possessory rights in a thing, the common law proposes a clear and simple answer: 'first in time, stronger in right'. Whether the dispute is between a 'true owner' and a finder; between two finders; between a bailee and a thief; between two thieves; or between any other putative possessors, the same simple rule claims to tell us whose right is superior. This rule is attractive in its simplicity — temporal priority is all that matters when deciding these disputes — but it is also surprising in its disregard for all other possible considerations. Shouldn't the law care about the type of possessory claims we are concerned with? Doesn't it matter (for reasons going beyond the temporal priority of his claim) that one party is in possession as the true owner, or only as a thief, etc.? And don't the prior interactions between the parties matter to the law, as well? For instance, shouldn't it matter whether or not one party put the other party into possession in the first place? All these considerations seem to have moral salience when considering who should be entitled to possess a thing. It would be odd if the law took no notice of them.
In this paper, I argue that "first in time, stronger in right" fits best with a view of ownership, and all other rights to possess, as identical rights to exclude. I develop normative, conceptual and doctrinal arguments for another view of the relativity of title that is consistent with a subtler and richer account of ownership as a position of exclusive authority (one that is qualitatively different than other rights to possess). On this account, we resolve disputes among putative possessors in terms of their 'causa possessionis' — the normative ground of their claims to possession — and not merely in terms of the temporal priority of their claims. I argue that first in time is not always stronger in right, for these other considerations may sometimes trump temporal priority. Even when the 'first in time' rule generates the right answer, it does so in a way that obscures the larger normative framework that explains why that is the right answer.

The Bay Area is Just a Giant Gated Community
The Atlantic Cities blog has a breezy piece about the zip codes with the highest median housing prices:
In the Bay Area, however, housing has become so expensive that much of the middle class has been effectively priced out of home-ownership. Forty-four ZIP codes have median home values above $1 million, just nine have median home values below $300,000, and not a single ZIP code has a median home value below $200,000. In neighboring San Jose, just one of the metro's 59 ZIP codes had a median home value below $400,000.
The larger picture:
Overall, 33 ZIP codes have median home values of more than $2 million. Nearly all of these were located in the New York, Los Angeles, San Jose, or San Francisco metro areas, with 10 each in the New York metro and the combined San Francisco-San Jose Bay Area. There was one each in Boston, Miami, Santa Barbara, and San Diego.
Another 201 ZIP codes had median home values of more than $1 million. A whopping three-quarters of these were in just three coastal areas: New York, Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay Area. The Bay Area had the largest number, with 60 ZIP codes with median home values of more than $1 million: 44 in San Francisco and another 16 in San Jose. Another 52 were in greater New York, spanning both Manhattan and some second-home enclaves of the Hamptons. And 39 more were in Los Angeles and Orange County. The rest are in places like Boston, San Diego, and Stamford, Connecticut.

Kochan on Water Law
Donald Kochan (Chapman) has posted Economic Analysis in the Fourth Generation of Environmental Law: What Role? (Journal of Environmental and Sustainability Law) on SSRN. Here's the abstract:
Written for the symposium "Environmental Law 4.0: Adaptive and Resilient" at the University of Missouri School of Law, this essay explores some of the issues of economic analysis that might arise as we approach the fourth generation of environmental law. It begins with explaining some of the ways that economic analysis can be employed to generate the best environmental rules, including measures under what this essay terms as "economics-based environmentalism."
This includes focusing on the adaptability of markets and the benefits of spontaneous order, the integration of economic principles into any polycentric toolbox of environmental law approaches, the use of property-based externalities' analysis, the use of existing property rights, the creation of property rights, the utility of greater reliance on common law principles and related compensation and liability approaches, the increased use of private contracting terms and private ordering in general to satisfy individual and societal preferences for environmental responses, and the power and responsibility of consumers to demand in the marketplace the provision of environmental goods and services and environmentally responsible behavior rather than relying on the government to instead act with coercion to satisfy such preferences. That portion of the essay concludes with a proposal that would embed in law a requirement that agencies prove the existence of market failure and the exhaustion of economic alternatives to governmental regulation before being allowed to proceed with any top-down, interventionist governmental regulation.
The last portion of the essay focuses on theories from law and economics, including those related to the self-perpetuating behavior of bureaucracies, public choice models of legislation and regulation, and capture theory as barriers to any effective reform in the emerging fourth generation of environmental law -- whether it be those reforms proposed by others or even those suggested earlier in the essay.

Woman denies charge of trying to kill a police officerDecember 28,2012PROVIDED PHOTO
Jennifer BerubeA transient woman who allegedly tried to kill a Rutland police officer by cutting his throat with a knife was ordered jailed without bail Friday after she pleaded innocent to a charge of attempted murder.
Jennifer Berube, 39, didn't speak during a brief appearance in Rutland criminal court in which she stood in chains while her attorney entered a denial on her behalf to a criminal charge that carries a potential lifetime prison sentence.
Judge Nancy Corsones scheduled a weight of the evidence hearing for next Thursday which will determine whether Berube will continue to be jailed without the option of release by bail.
Berube and her boyfriend John MacLean III, were arrested Thursday afternoon for allegedly trying to use a stolen credit card at businesses on North Main Street and Woodstock Avenue.
The pair was being booked on a number of petty offenses and probably would have been released with a citation to appear in court on a later date when Berube somehow obtained a multi-bladed knife and attempted to pull it across the throat of Officer Damon Nguyen who was on duty in the booking area, according to Rutland police Sgt. John Sly and court filings.
"If it wasn't for the officer's skill set, it would have been a totally different outcome," Sly said. "The minute she laid hands on him, he responded and neutralized the situation."
Instead of cutting across the officer's throat the way Sly said she intended too, the blade left only a minor cut.
Nguyen was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center where he was treated and released.
Berube was also taken to the hospital after she was restrained by the officer and other members of the force who rushed to assist him.
During the struggle, Sly said the woman cut both hands on the knife she wielded.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The contractor working on Vermonts health insurance exchange has issued a report...

Cleveland WR to be reinstated by the league. Associated Press
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) -- NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte' Stallworth will be reinstated from his suspension for killing a pedestrian while driving drunk.
At his annual Super Bowl-week news conference Friday, Goodell said Stallworth's suspension will be lifted after the Super Bowl on Sunday.
Goodell said he met with Stallworth about a month ago, and the receiver is "in a better place than he was." Goodell said Stallworth recognizes what he did and has prepared himself to return to the NFL.
Stallworth spent 24 days in jail for a DUI manslaughter conviction in the case. The accident occurred last March in South Florida, and he was suspended without pay last August.

Apocalypse NAO: College Studies the Theological Ramifications of Robotics 176
from the why-did-you-program-me-to-sin? dept.
This is non-news for nerds, stuff that does not matter, at all.
Religious people say and do irrational, stupid, arbitrary stuff all the time. Discussing robots "theologically" is just another boring instance of this.
Because they have no free will nor do they suffer from original sin.
Alternate response: robots don't dim or sever our connection to god because we have no connection to god because god doesn't exist.
It does. Multiverse theories have been around for a long while, and until they are framed in terms of testable hypotheses (some of them never will be because as posited they prohibit causal interaction between universes) they won't be part of a scientific theory.
That's not how it works. Sorry. You seem to have an assertions the God Exists. Show the evidence.
You do know that you can't prove a negative? It's on YOU to prove it.
The logical default position is there is no God.
Now, if you have actual evidences, I would be interested in reading it.
Sadly yes, People in America are free to believe and shove their belief down other peoples throat without evidence,counter to evidence, and without actual information. which would be fine except they use the ignorance and stupidity to force policy on others. Hence, taking away from people with actual facts and science.
"Properly done, theology is a science "
are you stupid? That's not science, that's not how science work.
Science is a method for teasing out how thing in the world work. Every time science has been pointed at religion, religion does not stand up.
"What do you think science is? There's nothing magical about science. It is simply a systematic way for carefully and thoroughly observing nature and using consistent logic to evaluate results. Which part of that exactly do you disagree with? Do you disagree with being thorough? Using careful observation? Being systematic? Or using consistent logic?" Steven Novella
""religion = irrational" nonsense I see so often."
irrational : not in accordance with reason; utterly illogical: irrational arguments.
Believing in something that has no evidence is irrational behavior.
" but I've heard plenty of the same from anti-religion people as well."
Which doesn't mean your point of view of god is correct.
I never actually mentioned what "my construction of God" was
I didn't mention what my construction of Santa Claus was. Do you still believe in that?
