Reminiscent of a soufflé dessert, this cake recipe combines luscious orange filling with whipped cream.
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 2 (9-inch) round cake pans; set aside.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in bowl; set aside.
Combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, 3/4 cup butter and 1 tablespoon orange zest in another bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition until light and fluffy. Add flour mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating just until combined.
Spread batter evenly into prepared pans. Bake 27-32 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely.
Combine all filling ingredients in bowl. Beat at medium speed until fluffy. Reserve 1/2 cup filling.
Place 1 layer onto serving plate. Spread remaining filling over cake. Top with remaining cake layer. Cover; refrigerate while preparing frosting.
Combine reserved filling and all frosting ingredients in bowl. Beat at high speed, scraping bowl often, until stiff peaks form. Frost top and sides of cake.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 6 hours. Garnish with orange zest, if desired. Store refrigerated.
*Substitute 2 teaspoons vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to equal 3/4 cup. Let stand 5 minutes.

Everyone loved the cake. My family doesn't care for overly sweet frostings...this was perfect. Definitely will make this again.
I made this cake using 9" round pans and I doubled the recipe and made it in two 9 X 13 pans for a birthday cake using orange "Jelly Belly" jelly beans to spell out the name of the birthday girl. This is a great tasting cake. The cake, filling and the frosting have such a wonderful orange flavor because of the zest used. I highly recommend this recipe.

Mint isn't a traditional Irish flavor, but the color of the green mint mousse in this tart lends itself so well to St. Patrick's Day celebrations, I had to tie them together somehow! The Mint White Chocolate Tart takes a little bit of effort to make with its multiple steps, but the end result is fluffy, subtly sweet and has a perfect hint of mint.

Eggs Benedict, like this Cheesy Eggs Benedict, is the quintessential brunch dish, but it sure can be challenging to serve to a crowd with so many last-minute elements – toasting English muffins, poaching eggs and making hollandaise sauce. Of course, it can be made easier by toasting all the muffins on a sheet in the oven, and by poaching your eggs the day before your brunch. More ...

i dont know
There are so many different tumblr.com sites that is a backlog on tagging the pornographic ones.
- CommentAuthornnnnnnnnnnn
- CommentTimeApr 24th 2012
Tumblr is a social networking site. They happen to have policies that allow nudity and the such. Other social sites like facebook and google+ have more strict policies against nudity. Their is no technology that can accurately detect or differentiate nudity or graphic material, mainly because it's subjective. (what's porn to one person isn't porn to another)
- CommentAuthornemo-paice
- CommentTimeApr 24th 2012
But the main reason, to answer your question is that it's a social networking site first. While there are many posts containing nudity, not al their users post that in fact I read somewhere that less than 10% of Tumblr users post that type of content So if you want to block it, I agree with previous posts, in that you'll just have to manually block it in your opendns settings.Thankful People: rotblitz

March Madness in TV-land thanks to Amazon, AMC and FX
TV blogger Marisa Nadolny reports on what shows are streaming at her house.
"Downton's Abbey's" got me thinking about good manners and all things proper. The denizens of Downton — both upstairs and down — pride themselves on proper form, tradition and civility, and I'm wondering if that's part of the show's massive appeal. (Anyone who watched Sunday night's premiere with Twitter cued up knows what I'm talking about. For those who don't, officially, everyone and their mother watched the season three premiere on PBS Sunday night. Trust me.)
I know English wit and form are part of the draw to "Downton" for me (also: great costumes, Maggie Smith, and O'Brien's zingers). I swear I'm not the only person who shares this (sad?) fascination with what some call "hysterical dramas." Indeed, I meet with a group of girlfriends for historical movie-viewings at each other's homes several times a year—a practice that grew from our common love of the "Anne of Green Gables" films, another gift from PBS we encountered as pre-teens. We watch "Anne" once a year, complete with tea sandwiches, "raspberry cordial" and lots of cake, which fuel a running commentary throughout the film. (It's a bit like Mystery Science Theater 3000, but with better costumes.)
Don't judge us: there's more "Anne" fans out there than you might think.
Annnnnyway, back to etiquette and manners. I'm no Emily Post, but I truly wish I was born into that family. The rules of etiquette fascinate me, and the lack of their employment annoys the crap out of me (scratch that; it's probably rude to use the word "crap" in this context huh? Revision: "...the lack of their employment distresses me to no end.") While the world likely won't end if we all don't know our salad fork from our...whatever the big fork is called, there are certain Rules for Everyday Engagement that, for me, are massive dealbreakers/grounds for dismissal from polite society. Behaviors that cross the line from quirky to inconsiderate.
Mine include: loud eating (I know some dogs who eat more delicately than some people I've heard at table/desk); nose-blowing at table or in office (maybe I should move to Japan); those who speak with food in their mouths; weak handshakes/bone-crusher handshakes (Seriously, what the heck?); loud talkers and/or those with no functional interior monologue (you know, that person who must speak every blessed thought they have aloud, apparently under the belief that everything they dream up is so fascinating, we must all behold it? That person.); those who talk over others in alleged conversations; those with no concept of how to end a conversation; and gentlemen of a certain age who think it's OK to call all women "dear."
I suspect we've all got some social pet peeves, and I'd love to hear what greatly distresses you to no end. Post them in the comments or email me, and if we get enough, I'll collect them for a spread in Daybreak. Consider it a public service toward a more genteel world. Otherwise, we'll have to commiserate on Twitter next time "Downton" is on.
I'm on Twitter: @TheMDesk.
TV blogger Marisa Nadolny reports on what shows are streaming at her house.
Anyone else have a steadily growing list of "shows to watch"? In this age of streaming entertainment, the queue is the thing: it's where we stash every good intention to watch all manner of readily available content.

Has Merv swerved the blame game?
- 3 May 2012
His exact words were: "Whether in this country, the United States, or Europe, there was no unsustainable boom like that seen in the 1980s; this was a bust without a boom".
Robert Peston commented in his blog: "The moment he said it, he raised a few hackles. His former colleague from the BoE's Monetary Policy Committee, Andrew Sentance, tweeted: "disagree with Mervyn King that fin crisis was bust without a boom…it was just very long boom!"
RedHairedGirl said bluntly: "Not true. King is in denial about his own culpability. The boom was everywhere – a credit bubble the largest for 100 years. The growth was the illusion since it was based on ever larger debts – state, personal & corporate. King is famous for stating it is not the job of the Bank of England to control assets prices when warned about the housing bubble."
For many, King's mistake was not raising interest rates sooner when emerging markets were importing deflation through cheaper manufactured goods. Inflation numbers may have looked controlled, but domestic inflation was higher. When this situation reversed and emerging markets imported inflation, through higher commodities prices, inflation figures leapt up.
Certainly Peston believes that there has been a boom over the last 10 years: "1) The massive increase in bank lending, from about 100% of GDP to 600% of GDP over 20 years or so; 2) The trebling in house prices in the 10 years before the 2007; 3) Consumer spending growing faster than the economy, fuelled by borrowing, in the 15 years before the crash; 4) The UK importing more than it exports every year since 1983, not earning its way in the world."
King did go some way to admitting a degree of responsibility for the crisis: "With the benefit of hindsight, we should have shouted from the rooftops that a system had been built in which banks were too important to fail, that banks had grown too quickly and borrowed too much, and that so-called 'light-touch' regulation hadn't prevented any of this," King said.
However, he added that the decision by Gordon Brown to strip the Bank of England of its power to regulate banks in 1997 tied his hands: "Our power was limited to that of publishing reports and preaching sermons. And we did preach sermons about the risks." With hindsight, King does not appear truly to believe that he was at fault.
King was marginally more bullish on the UK economy than he has been in the past, forecasting a steady, slow recovery. However, he urged speedy banking reforms.
However, the real question is whether King's credibility remains in tact. dragonfly101 on the Telegraph site sums up the views of many when he says: "It seems to me all his predictions have been proven consistently wrong. If I were a betting man – and I am – I'd bet against any of his future predictions. In fact his consistency in being wrong might be useful."

Question: What is the Cloward-Piven Strategy and is it covertly being employed by President Obama and his allies as a means of destroying this great country of ours?
There is sufficient evidence to prove that President Obama is in fact employing this strategy to destroy the USA as we know it today-You Decide:The Tea Party Center
Cloward taught at Columbia University for almost five decades. During his tenure, a certain Obama attended. Did Obama and Cloward ever interact? Did Obama ever take any of Cloward's courses? No one can prove he didn't because Obama refuses to allow Columbia to release his transcripts. In 1982, Piven returned to New York. Did Obama interact with these two individuals?

Hey there!
I'm looking for some background information on the salaries for pro teams/players.
Anything relative to how they get paid (streaming, sponsorship, LCS salary, tournament winnings, etc).
Any information on the subject would be appreciated, or if you could point me in the right direction I'd be happy with that also!
Tournament winnings are dependent on which tournament. They're always different. There's no salary for the LCS, they get paid whatever the team or their sponsors pay them, which would be part of the contracts they sign, which you probably will not be able to find anything more than very ambiguous information on. Streaming is also dependent on whose advertisements are being shown, the number of viewers, and the number of advertisements shown.Basically no one is going to be able to answer your question with any good specifics.
Baxter the Teddy
There IS a salary for LCS.
And they probably make 6 digits between everything. Specifcally, you listed nearly all the ways they get paid and, like Cavo said, it's unlikely you'll find specifics. Pro gaming contracts are very hush hush.
Riot pays the teams for LCS, I believe Forbes had an online article stating they spend around 12k per month for each team.
As far as streaming, the standard deal I think is around $3/1000 ads played, people have ad blocker and such so the numbers aren't a simple translation from whatever their stream numbers are, but it can give you an idea of what they are making.
Sponsorships are tricky, they usually pay a flat amount, but take a cut of stream money, as well as provide other services. It also depends on the type of sponsorship. Evil Genius takes a cut of stream money because they have the name, but Gunner Eyewear is probably just giving them free stuff and maybe some money as well.

What was supposed to be an overnight visit to Johnson City, TN, ended up being a few hours in this hotel. When we arrived at this hotel my husband went to check in and everything appeared to be ok until we got to the room. They put us on the back side of the hotel and no one was there but us, and when we got inside the room I was really afraid to go inside. Everything in this room was so old that It look like a old hotel in a movie I had seen. So, it was very old smelling and we turned the heat on and it took a very long time to get warm. We decided to go and get something to eat and I told my husband when we got back that I wanted to move to another room around front because I wasn't comfortable being around back and our door was not fitted properly because we could see the light from under and around the door. We stopped at the front office when we finished eating and the owner was so very rude and ugly and said we couldn't change rooms because they were cleaning the carpets in the other rooms and if we did we would have to pay again because we had been in the other room. We did not touch anything but the heat and she wanted to charge us again. So we sat there for a few more hours cause we had already traveled 5 hours, but the longer I looked at this ugly room, the more I wanted to leave. It never warmed up in the room and I told my husband that I wasn't going to sleep in that old room and wanted to leave. So we put the keys in the room and left. If you pay these people your money for a room, they should at least be nice to you and try to make you comfortable, these were not friendly people at all. And oh yea, they did have a ice machine, but guess what, NO ICE!!!!!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Interstate Inn of Johnson City is 3 miles from the East Tennessee State University Campus, and 15 miles from the Bristol Motor Speedway, with easy access to Interstate 26. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz, Cheap Tickets, Priceline and Tingo so you can book your Interstate Inn Johnson City reservations with confidence.

School bullying bill up for a vote today in state Senate
All Wisconsin schools would have to create policies against bullying, under a bill that's up for a vote today in the state Senate.
The bill also would require schools to report all bullying incidents to the state government.
And the Department of Public Instruction would help schools in the effort, by giving them a model policy that school boards would have to adopt by next Aug. 15.

Hotels in Singapore
As a major financial center with a steady flow of business travelers and also a popular stopping point for leisure travelers, in part thanks to the number of budget airlines based there and serving the rest of Southeast Asia, there are hotels in Singapore for every budget. Among the best hotels in Singapore is the legendary white washed Raffles, which opened in 1887 and is where the Singapore sling was invented. The colonial ambiance remains, with potted palms and lazy ceiling fans, as well as four-poster beds in many rooms.
While there are other hotels that also make the most of the country's colonial history, notably the Fullerton Hotel in the grand old General Post Office building, a number of Singapore hotels opt for a more contemporary style. The most striking of them is the Marina Bay Sands, a mammoth project with more than 2,500 rooms most with floor-to-ceiling windows some with views of the Singapore skyline. The most notable feature, quickly becoming one of Singapore's most photographed sights, is the SkyPark with an infinity pool 650 feet in the air.
Located in the Orchard Road shopping district, this 1,051-room hotel is popular with both business travelers and tour groups. The cavernous lobby is decorated with black and white Italian marble and a 70-foot, gold-etched mural entitled 87 Taoist Immortals.
It's no wonder that Capella chose the recently revitalized Sentosa for its Asian debut.
Three wings consisting of unusually shaped rooms (imagine odd angles and curves) on 15 landscaped acres a few blocks from pedestrian-friendly Orchard Road.
After owner Loh Lik Peng restored the New Majestic's 1928 Chinatown building, he turned over the interiors to local artists, filmmakers, and fashion designers. The result is dazzling: rooms clad in mirrors or eye-popping murals, furnished with hanging beds or glass-encased tubs.
Formerly Raffles the Plaza
A budget the size of South Carolina's. A park suspended 650 feet in the air (and large enough to hold four A380 jets). More than 7,000 employees.
This 769-room stunner, located in the cultural hotbed of Singapore(the Bras Basah art district, home to the Singapore Art Museum) boasts one of Asia's largest spa facilities.
Situated in a leafy enclave, this boutique property is one of the city's more intimate hotels. Its vast Asian art collection is generously distributed throughout all 255 rooms, while high ceilings and picture windows infuse a warm, residential feel.
This Marina Bay masterpiece is tucked in the heart of Singapore's Central Business District, just minutes from main shopping hubs like Suntec City and Orchard Road.
24-hour butler service, a fleet of Bentleys, and one of Asia's premiere private art collections (including an original sketch by Joan Miró) await you at this splendid, downtown high-rise.
Pair of high-rises with residential-style rooms that are more like mini-apartments, just off Orchard Road.
The M Hotel Singapore is centrally located in the financial district, making it a top choice for corporate travelers and a frequent host of various conventions. Inside, the lobby is furnished with black leather furniture and a dramatic bull statue.
Billed as Singapore's first luxury boutique hotel, this 80-room property is located in Chinatown, surrounded by eclectic shops and late-19th-century buildings. Inside, the lobby is designed with large gold chandeliers, red velvet furnishings, and ambient lighting.
Housed inside five refurbished 1929 shophouses, this retro-inspired Chinatown hotel is decorated with vintage designer furniture from hotelier Loh Lik Peng's private collection. In the mirrored lobby, Verner Panton's Cone chair and Arne Jacobsen's Swan chair add visual interest to the space.

A Hanging Garden Sparkler
Made with leftover Threaded rod , old candle cups and bolts. I'm loving these little bursts of color all over !
To get the wires to hold in the candle cups , I filled them with grout - and stuck the wires in . After it dried , I put a layer of E-6000 over the top of the grout in each cup - just for added "goo-ability" .
Wonderful idea! I might just have to steal it. lol! It reminds me of those shiney holiday decorations that are flat and when turned upside down fill out like your sparkler. You usually see them at Christmas time in gold, silver, green and red. TFS!
TMG....LOVE IT!!! I miss seeing everyone's creations!!!! I am trying to play catch up, it's been so long since I've been able to have any junkin' time. My 14 yr old has been doing soccer and cheer, so I'm in the road constantly. Soccer is almost over, so maybe I can get back to normal...did I say that??? I'm not sure what normal is these days..LOL
I went crazy at the bead store - now I have to use them up !
(I have a store by me - it's like an old fashioned dime store - all crafts supplies. They order everything in bulk to get the best price - then break everything down into smaller quantities & keep the price cheap. That does me in every time - I can't resist ! )
I don't have the pictures anymore - they are on a computer that died a horrible death. All my files & pics went poof ! I have it hanging in the rear of my yard - but from the blizzard there's 3 feet of snow in my yard !!!!! I can't get back there till we get some melting going on .
I'm sorry ! Maybe someone saved a pic that repost it for me.

Study Finds High Mortality Rate Among People With Both Autism and Epilepsy
Filed under: Medical Conditions, In The News
Epilepsy and autism. Either condition, by itself, is a raw deal. Together, however, they can be deadly.
BusinessWeek reports people with both conditions face an 800 percent higher chance of dying than people who have just one or the other.
Researchers reached this grim assessment after studying brain tissue donated to the Autism Speaks Autism Tissue Program. According to BusinessWeek, they found that 39 percent of the donors with autism also had epilepsy. That's a lot higher than the estimated rate of epilepsy among most people with autism.
Taking data from the California State Department of Developmental Services, researchers found the prognosis for people with both conditions is usually tragic.
"This study highlights the importance of early identification of epilepsy in children with autism and of autism in children with epilepsy," Roberto Tuchman, a pediatric neurologist at Miami Children's Hospital and member of the Autism Speaks Scientific Advisory Council, tells BusinessWeek.
"The findings of this study should motivate the autism and epilepsy communities to increase their understanding of the risk factors and common mechanisms that can lead to epilepsy, autism or both epilepsy and autism. Understanding these early determinants will allow for the development of effective interventions and preventive measures and ultimately better outcomes for children with autism and epilepsy," Tuchman adds.
Clara Lajonchere, vice president of clinical programs at Autism Speaks, tells BusinessWeek that sudden, unexpected or unexplained death in autism is often, but not always related to epilepsy.
"We need to use caution when interpreting these data," Lajonchere adds. "These findings are important for understanding risk factors that may contribute to early death in individuals with autism and further underscore the need for more accurate and accessible records on cause of death in this population."

1996 Toyota Avalon 4 Dr XLS Sedan Review
This car is possibly the most reliable car I've ever owned.
Not as many amenities as some of the premiums cars I've owned,
Great Car And Extremely Reliable. — I had a friend who retired and was moving to Hawaii. He didn't want to pay to have it shipped, since it was an older car (91,000 miles), He made me a great deal on it and I retired my Acura Legend and changed it out with the Avalon as my daily driver. It didn't have the heated seats or nearly as many of the premium features I had become accustomed to. I felt as if I had taken a few steps down initially. But after owning this car for quite a while now, I now know that my initial feelings towards this car were unfair and unjust. It ran strong when I bought it and it runs just as strong today with 220,000 miles on it. The air conditioning is amazing and I've never had any work done to it. It will freeze us out and that's in Texas Summers too. The cars ride has always been a smooth one and as long as I keep it's oil regularly serviced, it just goes and goes and goes. I had no intentions of ever keeping it this long, but it drives like a much newer vehicle. In fact, during this extended life, it's allowed me to save enough to pay cash for my next vehicle. At one point soon I'm going to have to get rid of the Avalon and I'll truly miss this car. It's such a good car still, that I hope I can find another owner who maybe cant afford a newer car that can appreciate it as I have.

Good Car To Have As A Daily Driver. — not a car for sport type driving, but awesome for us regular people! microfiber interior with a bench seat... AWESOME. SO SPACIOUS! you could live out of it! driving quality smooth and flawless about 20mpg but an 18.5 gallon tank cv boots go easily unfortunately. get it in white. ya dont have to wash it. : P

Great Daily Commuter. MPG is reasonable. Car is built sturdy and looks appealing. 281,000 mi. and everything works still!! Love my Avy!!
All maintenance has been on suspension.
Sold On This Avy!!! — Dependable, reliable, descent looking 17 yr. old vehicle. Toyota was spot on with this build. Got it with 255,xxx and 2 yrs. later @ 281,xxx and $2200 in maintenance for suspension parts, my $$ has been well spent for a $1000 buy. All original except aftermarket sound system with sub. Every luxury feature works. Impressed. Love my Avy!!!!

Nice, Comfortable, High Mileage Car. — Only complaint is the noisy interior. I'm told this was a windshield design problem that Toyota fixed since 1996. Definitely will consider a newer model when shopping again.

Never stops running, fast for a family sedan, and it will take a beating from hell
Cost for parts, struts!, noisy cabin
Trooper For Sure — I had this car for over a year so far and put 30,000 hard earned miles on it. It was my first car that I bought myself for 1,000 with the struts shot, and speakers blown with 180,000 miles on it. It is STILL running today, and I wouldn't be afraid to take a road trip in it, and I mean I went EVERYWHERE in it. Plus it has won a few little street races. I love this car
Eric writes:

Keeps on running, leet mods
Its old
Roomy, Moderate Power, Reliability. — For the first generation Avalon it sure is a goodie. The car is well constructed, where reliability, quality of ride, and performance are phenomonal for the value. With 225 thousand miles, the car performs top notch. Acceration is pretty good, huge car, great on fuel usage, and looks solid.

Very smooth ride, good gas mileage for a v6, roomy and very comfortable. dependable
pricy to fix but not on the extreme ends, known for rear struts going out.
Very Good For A First Car Or A Family Car — I really enjoy the space and the sun roof, it's a very smooth and quiet ride. The sound is great and the body will take a hard beating if needed. Though it's know for the vavle cover going bad and the rear struts it'll still run well, I've bought mine used with both bad and i've been driving it like that with no problems.

Love It. — Best car ever to travel in. A solid performer. I have never loved to drive a car as much as this one. We have the "rare" front bench seat and love it. I am sold on Toyota (this is my third) and just recently bought a 2000 Avalon (since it is hard to go back to the Camry once you have experienced an Avalon),

Deniro Farrar - Fears
Artist: Deniro Farrar
Producer: SXMPLELIFE
Album: THE PATRIARCH EP
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 9 votes )
Everybody's scared of something—even an emcee as cold as Deniro Farrar. On the lead single off his next EP, his first feature since last October's Back-Forth-Back, the Charlotte representative fills us in on a few of his Fears. A sample of New Wave/electronic group Chromatics' Cherry (courtesy of Boston, Massachusetts beat crew SXMPLELIFE) backs the emcee as he laments life's cheapness in the 'hood: "Guns make n**gas feel tall like the Eiffel, till somebody shoot 'em down and their body stifled." Counseling young people to put their faith in a higher power rather than a firearm, he spits, "F**k a magazine, you need to read a Bible" THE PATRIARCH is scheduled for release at a yet-unspecified date this month. In the meantime, you can watch our pages for more fresh song releases off the forthcoming set.

Ray Davies, the former Kinks songwriter, will play a concert at The White Lady Hotel in Kinsale on Friday to raise funds for his daughter Eva's national school.
Davies, who has written legendary Kinks hits "You really got me" and "All day and all of the night," and later classics like "Waterloo Sunset," is a frequent visitor to the school and agreed to help the school principal, who is desperately trying to raise funds for renovations.
Though the school has received a grant from the Department of Education for refurbishment, it has to raise €45,000 on its own to build a remedial room.
"He visits the school every time he comes over and he told me that if he could do anything to help, he would," explained Ballinadee National School principal Alice Kingston to the Irish Times. "I filed it away in the back of my mind. We really needed to build this room and money is tight in a recession, so I rang him in desperation.
To her surprise, Davies agreed and will play with Cork guitarist Bill Shanley at The White Lady Hotel, which will host the gig free of charge.
"He told us that he did not want a big fuss and he'd prefer to do it quietly and we took him at his word," continued Kingston. "But then, when we found the tickets weren't selling, we realized that nobody knew about it. It is a great coup for us and we want Kinks fans to know about it."
The school hopes to raise €16,000 on the night, which will go a long way to providing the proper facilities for the five teachers and 116 pupils who attend the school that is located between Kinsale and Bandon.

Cole on Property Creation by Regulation
Daniel H. Cole (Indiana-Indianapolis) has posted what looks like another interesting article, Property Creation by Regulation: Rights to Clean Air and Rights to Pollute. The abstract:
This paper, prepared for a Lincoln Institute conference on "Evolution of Property Rights Related to Land and Natural Resources," argues that, contrary to both the suppositions of some legal scholars and the theoretical underpinnings of Regulatory Takings doctrine, government regulations do not only impose on existing private property rights but also vindicate, and sometimes even create, public, private, and/or common property rights.
After examining conflicting common law and Roman law rules relating to property rights in the atmosphere, the paper focuses on how assertions of state sovereignty and regulations combine to create Hohfeldian rights and duties respecting the atmosphere, where none previously existed or were unclear. An explicit (but hardly novel) claim is advanced that acts of sovereignty themselves amount to assertions of public property. The claim is supported by evidence from both civil aviation regulation and air pollution control. The paper also addresses how regulations have created private property rights to pollute in emissions trading programs (regardless of congressional assertions to the contrary). In some cases, assertions of public property via acts of sovereignty are a prerequisite to the allocation of private property rights, and not just in the atmosphere but in other natural resources, such as marine fisheries.
The paper concludes with a discussion of normative implications for property theory generally and Regulatory Takings doctrine in particular. A more dignified treatment of public regulations that are designed to protect public rights would raise a serious question about which set of property rights should prevail in the several Regulatory Takings cases where privately-owned lands meet publicly-owned waters. That question cannot, however, be answered reasonably until a theory (or multiple theories) of public property are better developed to complement existing theories of private and common property. So, the paper ends with a call for more research into the theory and empirics of res publica (beyond equally naive public interest and public choice models).
I find the idea that government regulation creates property rights to be particularly fascinating. I've considered it before in the context of zoning-- we usually focus on the question of whether new zoning restrictions effect a regulatory taking. But when you buy into an existing zoning scheme, does the regulatory regime comprise part of your investment-backed expectations? It could be an important question for advocates of deregulation. Putting that tangent aside, it is certainly important for the environmental issues that Cole addresses in this interesting paper.
Matt Festa
Matt - Interestingly, Justice Scalia thinks that Transferable Development Rights create a new right, which he characterizes (I'm paraphrasing here) as an entirely new right to get a developer to pay the landowner to conserve their land, rather than a recognition and commodification of the current right to develop land. (This is why he thinks, contrary to the Penn Central decision, that the value of TDRs should not go to the calculation of the impact of the regulation on the economic value of the sending parcel, if TDRs are granted.)

You really find a lot of mixture of the traditional and different arts. Should explore it once. Must recommended
If you are interested in arts and want to know more about Finnish artists, the museum is worth a visit.
I was really excited to visit this museum since it looks pretty spectacular from the outside. I was a bit disappointed though. Although the exhibitions we saw where interesting and thought-provoking it only took us about an hour and a half to get through it all. One part of the museum was being renovated or rebuilt so that was probably...
Turku Art Museum is small and cosy. You can pop in Friday afternoon after 17:00 for a free visit. It wont take you more than an hour, but you will enjoy it. And be back.
There were two floors in the museum. If I got it right, the lower floor had the changing exhibition and the upper floor the permanent one. Let's start with the permanent one. I think that it mainly had modern art, but also some classics. The lower floor had Emil Wickströms, who is a famous Finnish sculptor, works. I love them!...
The Turku Art Museum has a few larger exhibitions annually as well as a good selection of Finnish older and contemporary art. The building itself is wonderful and worth a visit. You can also just pop in for coffee or tea and some pastries. In the summer you can sip your coffee (or drink a glass of wine) on the...
I went to Turku Art Museum to see Max Walter Svanberg´s art. The paintings were wonderful but the museum itself is also worth visiting. It´s a beautiful building an a hill surrounded by a wonderful garden.
A very nice building, An interesting display of paintings. Tere is usually a temporary exhibition as well. You can go free on Friday after 4 p.m.
The exhipition was average, but confortable for 2-3 hours.
Good location to start with coffe or tee and something to eat.
There after nice to walk around.
The permanent collection has some of the best Finnish paintings from 1800 and 1900 centuries.
The building itself is beautiful, a national romantic granite building from 1904, the second building in Finland to have been designed specifically as a museum, situated in the centre but on a top of a hill.

Stock Show roundup
Competitors lend a farm hand
Cameron Fallon couldn't miss school this week, so a couple of friends in Grayson County 4-H stepped up to help him.
"I really should be working on my daughter's heifer," said Jeff Sargent, 49, as he held a forced-air hose blowing dust off a shorthorn heifer's hide. On the other side of the stall in Cattle Barn No. 1, Justin Carney, 23, was doing the same. It's not unusual to find folks helping one another as Stock Show events approach.
Fallon's heifer is scheduled for the Junior Breeding Heifer Show on Saturday.
Candy Corn, a 2-year-old Limousin that belongs to Sargent's daughter, Harley, was in the adjoining stall and is scheduled to show Sunday. A proven winner who was grand champion at shows in Waco and Wichita Falls, the heifer was next in line to be pampered. But Harley was in classes, too.
"Even when the kids can't be here, there's work that needs to be done," Sargent said.

Origins of the ordinary
James Parken, 2, could only stand and watch as his 4-year-old brother, Everett, and his dad, Adam, 35, pedaled side by side on Planet Agriculture's wind-energy demonstration bikes.
But when James went into the nearby Harvest Experience simulator with his grandpa, John Parken, it was a different story. As the elder Parken worked the controls in the mock-up of a modern tractor, James turned the steering wheel like a pro, guiding them through the rows of corn projected on screens surrounding them.
"It's like our flight simulators," said John Parken, 68. "I work for Bombardier at DFW Airport, where we train pilots for the business aircraft we make."
Though the controls weren't as complicated as an airplane's, there were enough pedals, levers and buttons to give Parken pause. And he said it didn't take a lot of imagination to feel as if he and his grandson were actually rolling through a cornfield.
Harvest Experience and the renewable-energy exercise bikes are among more than half a dozen interactive displays in Planet Agriculture. The large space in the Stock Show's Poultry Barn is devoted to answering consumers' questions when they get curious about where the stuff they eat, drink, wear and use comes from, said spokesman Baron Bartels of the Texas Farm Bureau.
"Our primary goal is to promote agriculture and educate the community on where food, fiber and fuel come from," Bartels said.
