Germantown — A 26-year-old Germantown man remains in protective custody following a standoff in Germantown on Saturday, June 7.
Police responded to a call from the man's ex-girlfriend at about 1:30 p.m. Saturday, according to Germantown Police Chief Peter Hoell. The woman told police the man was suicidal, armed with a rifle and probably intoxicated.
When police responded to the scene, Hoell said the man would not come out of the residence, nor would he respond to attempts to reach him by phone. This prompted police to call in the SWAT team, which is joint between Germantown and Washington County, whose negotiator was ultimately able to talk the man down. The rifle was taken into custody as well.
Given the location of the residence off of Legend Drive and Mequon Road, this five hour standoff attracted a lot of attention from bystanders, which Hoell said presented a "major obstacle" in dealing with the situation.
"The vast majority (of the about 30 police and officials on the scene) were used to keep people from potentially walking into harm's way," Hoell said.

First pictures revealed of the revised Hyundai Matrix.
Korean firm turns on the style with a people carrier that's set to be built in three years.
Turning on the style, Hyundai is ready to make its mark in the compact MPV market.
It is good on handling - accelerates well and handles speed bumps with ease, good boot space and you can fold the back seats down for even more room. 1.6 uses less unleaded petrol than my former 2.0 people carrier. Downside is - looks ugly, brakes are always squeaking, its battery needed replacing shortly after buying it (because it was a demo car methinks) and fan belt has broken leading to not being able to turn right - almost crashed going to Surrey because of that!
Problems used to be fixed under warranty for the first 5 years, but now the warranty has run out it seems to be at the garage every month! It is due to go in next week when they can provide a hire car for 2 days. This is because it can suddenly refuse to start after being left for a while, I have noticed when doing several shorts journeys in 1 day. My mum has a Hyundai which is doing the same thing!
this is a good car althought it's getting abit out of date in the styling and could do with an update.

If using dried morels, soak in warm water to cover 30 minutes. Agitate dried morels in soaking water or fresh morels in cold water to dislodge grit, then lift from water, squeezing out excess. Pat dry with paper towels. Cut morels (fresh or dried) crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
Bring broth and water to a boil in a 4-quart pot. Add asparagus and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer asparagus with a slotted spoon to a large bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking, then drain and pat dry. Reserve 1 cup broth mixture for ragout and keep remaining broth at a bare simmer.
Cook onion in oil in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Add wine and simmer briskly, stirring constantly, until absorbed, about 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup hot broth mixture and simmer briskly, stirring constantly, until broth is absorbed. Continue simmering and adding hot broth mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and letting each addition be absorbed before adding the next, until rice is just tender and creamy-looking, 18 to 22 minutes. (There will be leftover broth mixture. Reserve for thinning risotto.)
Stir cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper into risotto, then remove from heat and let stand, covered, while making ragout.
Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté morels and garlic, stirring occasionally, until garlic is pale golden, about 4 minutes. Pour in 1 cup reserved broth and bring to a boil. Stir in peas, asparagus, zest, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, swirling skillet until butter is incorporated, then season ragout with salt and pepper.
Thin risotto to desired consistency with some of leftover broth and season with salt and pepper. Divide risotto among 4 shallow bowls. Spoon asparagus and morel ragout (with liquid) on top and sprinkle with chives.
Cooks' note: Dried morels can be soaked and patted dry 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.

Read baseball blog posts; support Doctors Without Borders
Jan 11, 2012, 12:03 PM EDT
Some of us blog about baseball for money. Most blog about baseball for the love. Then — sometimes — someone blogs about baseball for a good cause. That's what's going on at Old Time Family Baseball this weekend, and for that reason you should check it out.
This Saturday, January 14th, Old Time Family Baseball's proprietor, Michael Clair, will be doing a blogathon, posting every half hour for 24 hours to support Doctor's Without Borders. As Mike explains here, all of the posts will be freshly written (i.e. he won't be pre-writing stuff and setting it to post later). The fundraising page is here, and I'd humbly ask that you consider donating to what is an outrageously worthy cause.
I generally try to post things here at HBT every half hour during the day. I almost always fail. Why? Because it's friggin' hard to keep that up. So you can probably imagine that Mike is going to be really tired come Sunday, January 15. Which is why he has asked for guest blog posts that day. I am one of the guest bloggers, and my post is about "baseball shame." To read it, you'll have to go check out Old Time Family Baseball on Sunday. I'll remind you all about it again later.
Anyway, please consider checking out the blogathon and visiting the donation page. And even if you don't do that, at least watch Old Time Family Baseball to see if Mike goes crazy by around hour 17. Which I'm almost 100% certain will happen.

A really admirable cause. I have a Dutch friend whose father-in-law works for them.
I will probably miss the Thon but I support the effort. I donate annually.

This is Spinal Tap
Format: DVD, Videorecording, Projected Medium, Visual Materials
Summary: Once upon a time, Spinal Tap had a big hit song. Now, nearly two decades later, Spinal Tap still clings to some glint of their lost glory as they embark on an accident-plagued tour across America. In Cleveland, the group gets lost underneath the stage. In Washington, they're accidentally booked at an Air Force formal dance. And in a Chicago record store, no one shows up to get their autographs.

The Miami Heat are bracing to be short-handed again when visiting the Charlotte Bobcats on Friday night. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra says he does not anticipate that LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Mario Chalmers and Ray Allen will play against the Bobcats. James has a hamstring strain and Wade, Chalmers and Allen are dealing with ankle issues. James, Wade and Chalmers were held out of Miami's past two games. Allen was injured when he tripped over a courtside cameraman in Tuesday's loss to the New York Knicks. All four players will be evaluated again Friday before any final decisions are made on the rotation for Friday. Miami has the NBA's best record, 58-16. Charlotte, at 18-57, owns the league's worst mark this season.

Clueless in Silver Spring
Mark Graber
My name is Mark A. Graber and, apologies to Brian Tamanaha, I do not have a clue as to what it might mean to be a legal formalist as opposed to being a legal realist.
You are correct to say that (almost) everyone urges a mix of precedent, text, and original meaning. But it cannot be said, as you appear to suggest, that we are all legal formalists, and thus the question is over what version of formalism is best. Posner, for example, explicitly and repeatedly rejects legal formalism; the pragmatic jurisprudence espoused by Justice Breyer in his book on interpretation likewise cannot be characterized as formalistic.
These are complex issues, hard to work out in blog posts, but one way to pin down the difference at issue is to consider your own reaction to Alito's testimony (quoted in my post). Did you laugh at it? Or did you agree with it and hope he lives up to it? I agree with Alito's sentiments, though I am skeptical about whether he will live up to it (owing to his past pattern of consistently conservative decisions).
A legal formalist, to put it concisely, believes that judges can and should rule in accordance with the law, not according to their political views. Many political scientists, as you know, ridicule this idea (as attitudinal studies constantly remind us). In an earlier post about ideology in judging (three weeks ago), I articulated the sense in which this is a realistic goal for judges that can be achieved, which I will not repeat here.
I endorse Solum's article because it expresses the same sentiment.
One should note that what attitudinal research demonstrates is not that justices decide cases on the basis of their values, but that the differences between justices reflect different values. Segal and Spaeth, alas, are notoriously sloppy about this and so their findings are consistently misinterpreted. Moreover, without making any jurisprudential arguments, they classify some matters as law and others as politics, even though other commentators disagree as to what counts as law. If one thinks, for example, that precedent, text, and original meanings, best interpreted, call on justices to apply the best philosophical theory of free speech, then one could have the same data as Segal and Spaeth do, but conclude everyone is doing law.
In one sense, I am more a formalist than Brian is. I not only think Alito was relatively sincere when he claimed he would decide cases only on law, but I think he sincerely thinks that is what he is doing. Where Alito and I would disagree is on Tamanaha. Alito would claim that Tamanaha is letting his more liberal views cloud his judgment on matters where they disagree. I think that Tamanaha and Alito are both engaged in sincere legal interpretation, only that how they read legal texts is invitaby influenced by their values. Thus, I think it a nonstarter to simply say to anyone, Posner, Breyer, Alito, Tamanaha, or whoever, that they are not doing law. Rather the argument has to be that their claims about the best interpretation of text, original meaning, precedent and the like are wrong.
"This is as close to a logical deduction as you get in precedential reasoning,"
I don't think being a logician is the same thing as being a "formalist." Formalists do not try to make logical "deductions" but instead pay heightened attition to legal procedure (e.g. favoring enacted text over unenacted commitee reports, or interpreting cases according to what they say rather than according to what the judge "really" was thinking). Formalists are concerned with what is legal, not with what is logical.

Make the decision. Create positive change.
It's completely wasted energy.
Change begets change.
The Four Agreements
By Don Miguel Ruiz
Post(s) Inspired by this Book: Quotes from Book /// Top 10 Quotes from The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz
Book Overview: In The Four Agreements, don Miguel Ruiz reveals the source of self-limiting beliefs that rob us of joy and create needless suffering.
Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, the Four Agreements offer a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform our lives to a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love.
The Four Agreements are: Be Impeccable With Your Word, Don't Take Anything Personally, Don't Make Assumptions, Always Do Your Best.
"You've gotten to where you are right now by doing whatever it is you're doing, so if you're less than impressed with your current situation, you clearly need to change things up." ~ Jen Sincero, You Are a Badass
Awaken the Giant Within
By Anthony Robbins
Post(s) Inspired by this Book: Quotes from Book /// Getting Ready For The Gym vs. Getting Ready For The Beach – Why Chunking Matters. /// Optimists' Club Creed /// The Defining Moment of Mother Teresa's Heroic Life
Book Overview: Wake up and take control of your life!
Anthony Robbins, the nation's leader in the science of peak performance, shows you his most effective strategies and techniques for mastering your emotions, your body, your relationships, your finances, and your life.
The acknowledged expert in the psychology of change, Anthony Robbins provides a step-by-step program teaching the fundamental lessons of self-mastery that will enable you to discover your true purpose, take control of your life, and harness the forces that shape your destiny.
"One must make the warrior walk his everyday walk." ~ Miyamoto Musashi
"Probably the most pervasive false belief most of us harbor is the fallacy that only some superhuman act would have the power to turn our problems around. Nothing could be further from the truth. Life is cumulative. Whatever results we're experiencing in our lives are the accumulation of a host of small decisions we've made as individuals, as a family, as a community, as a society, and as a species." ~ Anthony Robbins, Awaken the Giant Within
Getting Ready For The Gym vs. Getting Ready For The Beach – Why Chunking Matters.
—— —— ——
The following is an excerpt from Awaken the Giant Within by Anthony Robbins:
—— —— ——
It's certainly possible to overevaluate. Human beings love to analyze things to death. There is a point, however, when we've got to stop evaluating and take action. For example, some people make so many evaluations that even a minor decision turns into a major production: maybe they can't get themselves to exercise regularly as part of their lifestyle. Why? They see it as a major production. The way they "chunk" the experience, the way the look at it, there are so many steps that they're intimidated.
"Habit is either the best of servants or the worst of masters." ~ Nathaniel Emmons
"To paraphrase the philosopher Nietzsche, he who has a strong enough why can bear almost any how. I've found that 20 percent of any change is knowing how; but 80 percent is knowing why. If we gather a set of strong enough reasons to change, we can change in a minute something we've failed to change for years." ~ Anthony Robbins, Awaken the Giant Within
"The beginning of a habit is like an invisible thread, but every time we repeat the act we strengthen the strand, add to it another filament, until it becomes a great cable and binds us irrevocably, thought and act." ~ Orison Swett Marden
"It is one thing to study war and another to live the warrior's life." ~ Telamon of Arcadia
"The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken." ~ Samuel Johnson
Top 10 Quotes from Savor by Thich Nhat Hanh
…And How to Eat Mindfully in a World of Rush and Distractions.
When hunger strikes, usually our patience dwindles. We feel our stomach twist and turn and rumble and moan so that it may be filled again – and we respond by trying to get food to it as fast as possible. When we are finally able to get a meal, it isn't long until it all vanishes from our plate – right before our eyes – and typically re-appears somewhere in the region of our stomach… How that happens exactly? Most of us don't remember.
In his book Savor, Thich Nhat Hanh discusses the importance of being mindful while eating (and while doing most anything in life) so that a person may attain a healthier weight and a more fulfilling lifestyle. One of the central practices he talks about is the idea of slowing down and being more present before, during, and after every meal. Continue reading

A new study claims that women who engage in unprotected sex are smarter and happier, thanks to antidepressant properties in sperm.
SUNY Albany researchers claim that certain chemicals in semen are mood-altering: estsrone and oxycotin elevates mood, cortisol promotes affection, serotonin acts as an anti-depressant and melatonin induces sleep, Gawker reports.
Data collected from 293 female students surveyed on campus found women who had oral sex or sex without a condom were more contented then their protected counterparts.
Researchers also found that women with a considerable amount of seminal plasma in their system had improved concentration, and were more successful in completing cognitive tasks.

Rockport colony of Black Skimmers loses 39 baby birds to hit-and-run
ROCKPORT - Black skimmer parents were raising a bumper crop of baby birds at Rockport Beach Park, when someone moved a barricade meant to protect them and drove through their midst, killing 39.
"It looked like someone had intentionally gone through and mowed them down," said Rockport Parks director Tom Staley.
The skimmers nest in a roped-off area of sand and coastal vegetation at the high traffic beach park. But because of high water from Hurricane Alex, Mayor C.J. Wax added a barricade July 1 to protect the birds that had moved onto a road to avoid flooding.
Sometime late that night, or early the next morning, the barricade on the circular road near the nesting area was moved.
The bodies were found the next morning.
The hit-and-runs have outraged many in this nature-loving town and led to calls for an investigation by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Aransas Bird and Nature Club is offering a $1,000 reward for a tip that leads to the arrest of the chick killer, club President Debra Corpora said.
Skimmers sport head plumage reminiscent of a black, flat-top haircut and have black and white feathered bodies that mimic tuxedos. Their long bills are bright red, with black trim and give the birds the look of a freshly lipsticked smile that matches their short, red legs.
Each spring, papa and mama skimmers scrape nests into the sand at the park and lay three to five spotted eggs that blend with surroundings. The eggs take about three weeks to hatch into downy, mottled chicks.
It was supposed to be a banner year for baby skimmers at Rockport beach. Regular counts by volunteers from the Aransas Bird and Nature Club including Corpora and John Huckabee, found 190 chicks, plus their parents — the highest numbers in more than a decade.
During nesting season, which lasts into summer, the parents lie around in the beach park for a few weeks before getting down to the business of nesting, Corpora said. Both parents care for the baby skimmers, spitting partially digested fish and crustaceans into the young bird's beaks. Parents also are protective — with deep, barking cries and occasional dive bombs at potential predators or intruders.
"It's a beagle like yelp," Huckabee described. "And then there are harsh screeches and squalls."
Staley said he doesn't know if anyone heard the birds that night.
Twenty percent of the Rockport colony's young now are dead.
Killing black skimmers is a crime, under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Penalties range from a misdemeanor, with fines, to felony charges, jail time and larger fines, depending on the circumstances, according to the treaty.
Huckabee spoke to an agent with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and was told that the skimmer incident already had been reported. The agent would not tell him if it was being investigated.
Stacey Campbell, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agent, said the federal agency does not comment whether an investigation is ongoing.
The skimmer deaths are an unfortunate sign of the times, according to scientists including Tony Amos from the Animal Rehabilitation Keep and David Newstead, a Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries project manager specializing in birds.
Skimmers love to nest in the same places that human like to hang out — flat, sandy beach areas, Amos said. A good example is their nesting area near the highly trafficked JFK Causeway in Corpus Christi, he said.
As a result, there have been marked declines in South Texas skimmer populations, mainly because of human disturbances to nesting areas, Newstead said. This year was to have been different for the Rockport colony, which is situated in the middle of the beach park.
"In a lot of South Texas, high water washed out their nests," he said. "The thing about the Rockport skimmer colony is they nest on ground that is higher. We were very optimistic about productivity in Rockport this year, because they were able to nest early and they already had chicks. It was going to be a bright spot for skimmers in an otherwise bad year."
The Aransas Bird and Nature Club is offering a $1,000 reward for an arrest and charges against the person or persons involved in driving over 39 black skimmer chicks at Rockport Beach Park. Anyone with information is asked to call Debra Corpora at 361-727-0730.

My Start-Up Life: What a (Very) Young CEO Learned on His Journey Through Silicon Valley
By Ben Casnocha
LORD, I loved being 19. If I had the chance to do it all again, I'd start up my life at that age. For most relatively "normal" guys like me, life at 19 is a joyously ephemeral state of being in between. Your adolescence is not quite behind you; your adulthood is not quite at hand. You can appropriate the privileges of a grownup without facing the responsibilities. And if you're lucky, you can still put it all on your parents' tab.
Or you can be Ben Casnocha, the 19-year-old author of "My Start-Up Life: What a (Very) Young C.E.O. Learned on His Journey Through Silicon Valley." Publishing a book in his teens actually ranks as one of his more modest accomplishments. At 12, he started his first company. At 14, he founded a software company called Comcate Inc. At 17, Inc. magazine named him "entrepreneur of the year."
Along the way, Ben (I refuse to address him as Mr. Casnocha until he turns 21) was also captain of his high school basketball team and edited the school newspaper. He will be enrolling in Claremont McKenna College this fall.
In the meantime, he's been taking what he describes as a "year off" to travel the world and to lecture at universities while continuing to serve as chairman of Comcate. So much for being a normal, carefree 19-year-old.
"I don't want to be normal," Ben declares in "My Start-Up Life." "I want to be something else."
Ben's book proves that he is indeed something else, and then some. Like its author, "My Start-Up Life" is precocious, informative and entertaining, if not quite fully realized as a grown-up work. But it's still very much worth reading to gain insight into the mind, manners and ambitions of an American entrepreneur from whom we will almost undoubtedly be hearing again throughout the first half of this century.
Ben organizes his story in chronological order. He recounts the otherwise "routine day" in 2000 when the teachers of his sixth-grade technology class in a San Francisco-area middle school proposed the idea of creating a Web site dedicated to resolving citizen complaints about local government. Unlike his classmates, who abandoned the project as soon as school let out, he spent the summer learning how to write the HTML code necessary to make ComplainandResolve.com a short-lived but functioning entity.
In 2002, Ben transformed that not-for-profit classroom venture into Comcate, a classic Silicon Valley start-up that provides software to enable city managers to track and resolve citizen complaints. He describes days when playing hooky from school started with catching a flight to Los Angeles and ended with basketball practice back in San Francisco. In between, there were sales calls to potential clients, lunches with venture capitalists, and scores of e-mail messages to and from a software programmer in India.
But "My Start-Up Life" is more of an entrepreneurial how-to manual than the autobiography of a whiz kid. The narrative chapters are interspersed with sidebars headlined "Brain Trust" and "Brainstorm" that provide insights from adult business people and share the author's epiphanies on everything from "redefining the entrepreneurial lifestyle" with proper sleep, nutrition and exercise, to ways to "maximize luck."
"Expose yourself to as much randomness as possible," Ben advises. "Attend conferences no one else is attending. Read books no one else is reading. Talk to people no one else is talking to. Who would have thought that giving a speech at a funeral at age 12 would introduce me to a man who would introduce me to my first business contact who would introduce me to several other important people in my life. That's luck. That's randomness."
An appendix offers a "One-a-Day, One-Month Plan to Becoming a Better Entrepreneur." If some of the daily agenda items are mundane ("Stop watching TV," "Form an advisory board"), others are both insightful and inspirational.
"Act on incomplete information," he urges in the context of entrepreneurial risk-taking. He says Gen. Colin Powell "expected his commanders in the field to make decisions when they had 40 percent of the potentially available information. In life-or-death situations. And you think you need more information?"
Unfortunately, "My Start-Up Life" fails to give a coherent account of Comcate's financing and the current status of the company, which is privately held. In a recent telephone interview, Ben said he withheld those kinds of details for proprietary reasons because his company is a developing enterprise.
With a little prodding, he told me that he raised "about $250,000" to start Comcate, and that the company is now "self-sustaining" with 6 employees, 75 local government clients and anticipated 2007 revenue of $1 million. I just wish he'd put some of this general information in the book.
Apart from its repeated references to the dot-com mania of Silicon Valley, the book lacks political and socioeconomic context. In describing the early days of Comcate, for example, Ben notes that the fall of 2001 was a "busy few months," without any mention of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. When I asked him about that, he said that "it didn't really impact the business."
I also would have liked to read more about Ben's parents. He duly expresses his gratitude, especially to his father who lent space in his law office for Comcate. But we never get a clear picture of what life was like in the Casnocha household. Talk about risk-taking -- nothing takes more wisdom and courage than their kind of entrepreneurial parenting.
In any event, Ben seems to be gaining an ever more acute sense of history and his own mortality as "My Start-Up Life" hits the stores. He told me that he's already working on a second book, about "America as the world's greatest start-up."
He added that he intends to make the most of the time left until his next birthday, in March 2008. "I've got another eight months until I'm just another boring 20-year-old," he said. ("New York Times," June 17, 2007)
