Note: please see September 2013 update at the base of this post.
Koya is a Japanese Udon Noodle bar. Simple. Minimalist. Stylish. Busy. Two friends and I went last week. This is how it went.
We started by sharing a few small plates: two from the daily specials board (pickled mackerel sashimi and tempura broad beans) and one staple dish of vegetable tempura (Yasai Ten Mori).
The pickled mackerel sashimi was one of my fellow diner's highlights. I suspect the third member of the party was also keen on it too, given the way she quickly claimed the best bits … I liked how the sashimi was presented as a beautiful, whole (all be it sliced), silver fillet. The slices of raw onion served on the side were a surprisingly likeable contrast to the tangy and oily pickled fish. Like the decor of the restaurant, this was effortlessly cool.
Little battered broad beans were delightful; in particular when doused in salt or eaten with whatever the spicy condiment on the table was (the waitress didn't know – I'm guessing garlic salt, a bit of chilli, something like paprika or sichuan pepper, some type of dried green herb (perhaps oregano), maybe some umami). And the vegetable tempura selection was tasty – nice, tender squash, aubergine, pepper, beans, broccoli etc in a light, non greasy batter. Enjoyable dipping sauce too (you get to add sesame, fresh ginger, chilli, spring onion etc to taste). All good stuff.
Enough about the appetisers. The main event was, of course, the Japanese Udon noodle. Fat, thick, flat, al-dente noodles, handmade on site each day using wheat flour imported from Japan.
Essentially you've got four options: hot udon in hot broth (Atsu-Atsu); cold udon served on the side of hot broth (Hiya-Atsu); cold udon with cold sauce to dip (Hiya-Hiya); and cold udon with cold sauce to pour (Hiyashi Udon). There are also some rice dishes. But come on, why would you order rice in a noodle bar?
I suspect you are thinking, already, that this is the real deal (it is). You probably don't need me to tell you either, that the noodles are very good (they are).
We didn't try any Hiya-Hiya or Hiyashi Udon. I'll give the cold dishes a go next time but ultimately, on the night, none of us could see too far past the Atsu-Atsu and the Hiya-Atsu. In our defence, being three, we were never going to sample all of the options anyway.
I reckon the smoked mackerel and green leaves Atsu-Atsu (Hiyashi Saba) was probably the least well received; I didn't get the impression that the subtle flavour of the broth kept the eater interested for the whole bowl. But the spoonful I tasted was definitely nice and relatively unusual: a very fresh and light broth and a generous sized bowl of noodles, smoked fish and plenty of herbs.
My other friend changed his order of chicken curry Atsu-Atsu, to mushroom with walnut miso Hiya-Atsu (Kinoko Hiya-Atsu) at the last minute. The waitress said he wouldn't be disappointed. He wasn't. He (like me) loved the well sized pile of cold noodles to add in to the tasty broth. He also, in particular, liked the large lump of walnut miso paste that he was given to mix in to his taste and at his leisure. He put it all in straight away and didn't talk much until he'd slurped the last drops of his broth.
Which leaves my dish. I'm pleased to say I think I chose best: pork and miso paste Hiya-Atsu (Buta Miso Hiya-Atsu) was really super good. The broth didn't look as pretty as, say, the smoked mackerel broth, but was sweet and meaty and awesome. I enjoyed adding the cold noodles to the hot broth about half a portion at a time. I also loved scraping around the bottom of the bowl to unearth nuggets of juicy porky bits. As tasty a dish as I've had for a long time. I also had a Tamago with my main (described as a poached egg, but in fact a not quite soft boiled egg that you break into the broth for extra interest and protein) and felt this was a good addition. Even though I've said I'll try the cold sauce or dip, it'll take some serious self-discipline not to order the pork and miso broth every time I go to Koya in the future.
So the food was pretty darn good. But I'm going to finish, unfortunately, on a sour note.
Koya operates a no bookings policy. This is fine – indeed it's fair and probably appropriate for what ultimately represents a casual, accessible, quick eat. Koya is also supremely popular at the moment and, it follows, is also very busy; if you go, you will queue. Again, fine.
However, if a restaurant operate a no bookings policy, and the only place its customers can wait is outside and down-wind of a club's smoking section, I think it should aim to be slick. That doesn't mean the restaurant needs to rush its customers. But it does mean staff should take orders and provide bills at the earliest opportunity. Service for us was excellent when it eventually arrived. But that was 10, maybe 15 minutes after sitting down (at this point there were still people outside who, like us before them, had already been there for a good 20-30 minutes). And once our mains had arrived, there was absolutely no risk of getting any attention without walking up to a waitress and asking for it. Earlier in the evening there were plenty of tables having similar experiences waiting for their bill, whilst we were catching cancer outside.
Koya is well worth a visit and I will return – probably on multiple occasions. The noodles were as good as anything I ate in Japan and definitely better than anything I've eaten in London. It's just a bit of a bummer about the waiting.
Koya in 3 words
Broth. Udon. Waiting.
The Bill
Small plate starters were between £4 and £7; mains between £8.50 and £10.50; semi-soft boiled eggs £1.50 each; bottles of Kirin £3.50; bottles of still and sparkling water, £0.00.
Total was £19 each plus service. Good value.

Update September 2013
Since 2011, I have been to Koya more often than any other restaurant. It has rarely slipped below super, in particular when my meal has been supplemented by items from the specials board. I wrote about the specials in March 2013 – amazingly they're still getting better; I've loved, in particular, confit rabbit salad (above), monkfish with apricot miso, barely cooked pigeon with peas and nettles, and various special udons.
Of particular note, however, is the fact Koya is evolving. The classic noodles are still available, and I continue to recommend cold noodles with pork and miso broth or cold pork and miso sauce. You can, however, also get these items, as well as breakfast from the new Koya Bar next door, which opened at the end of August 2013. I enjoyed an early morning meal at Koya Bar (think grilled smoked fish or kedgeree with rice porridge, miso, pickles and green tea) and thoroughly recommend this as an alternative to our western sugar, fat and caffeine dominated fixes.
This evolution of Koya has two effects: (a) hopefully shorter queues to get a noodle fix; and (b) over time, a greater focus in the original restaurant on those superb specials, which fuse British seasonal ingredients and Japanese techniques like no other place in the world. Exciting times. Read the Skinny Bib for more detail.

How Good was Edwin Valero?**Prelude to Demarco vs Broner **
I was just watching Demarco vs Edwin Valero and I was really impressed by Edwin's sense of timing, speed, power, and endurance. He looked to be one fo the first guys to really handle Demarco. IMO I think Demarco has fought Real legit competition to make his name. He's no push over and has show significant improvement since losing to Edwin Valero, who, if he was still around would be beasting allot of fighters. (too bad he was insane)
I think Edwin is better than Broner in regards to being able to adjust in the ring. Though Broner is big and has pop, I feel his transition game could be the problem. I notice he get's stuck in either defending or attacking mode. Since watching some of Demarco's fighter recently, post Edwin Valero loss, He has really good timing and has good ability to nullify speed as an attribute threw this. Demarco also packs a punch also, his deadly right hook and great jab.
We all know timing kills speed.
My question is, will his experience fighting Edwin, who imo is the superior boxer, play a major factor in this fight? Or will Broner roll in break him down and take him out?
ps good fight

i think valero was pretty good. most people know him for his knockout power and think of him as a brawler, but the guy had excellent all-around boxing skills. it's too bad we didn't get to see him in some marquee fights.

He was a "Does nothing Great but does everything good" type of fighter. I mean he had crazy power but he just didnt go nuts he tried to set it up and wasnt scared to mix it up.

He was a phenom type of fighter, just not the type with crazy speed or exceptional fluidity, etc. He was a unique package and if Broner really is to be one of the next guys then Demarco will have the similar deer in headlights look he had at times against Edwin...that is what I am looking for in this fight. Maybe that's not fair to Broner who isn't as naturally intimidating as Edwin and probably won't have a face full of blood lookng like a cannibal..Demarco's will was taken during that fight
I want to see if his speed can overwhelm Demarco, that will be a good indicator of where he is because Demarco is much better now and has really come back from that night, pretty big fight for Broner. both really

Allot of good comments. appreciate the feedback.
I honestly find this fight very interesting, in a way it will be kinda like a cross roads fight for Demarco of sorts. Will he be a deer in headlights or will he have learned something?
Will Broner win and begin to cement his status as a great fighter? Or will he lose and some how be exposed or will he find fans in defeat depending on how he loses.
All i all, I think Broner has allot more to lose, allot more...

think he had an unfair advantage in the ring by being completely insane hahaha. The only significant victory on his resume was his victory over DeMarco, so it's really tough to say. My guess is he would have been pretty damn good though. Seeing him in there with Rios, Maidana, or Matthysse would have been a treat

In January, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office arrested nine people and seized almost 800 packages of synthetic drugs. Determined to make a larger impact, the Sheriff's Office has released a public service announcements warning teens of the dangers of synthetic drugs.

A chilling image from the new campaign includes a teenager in a body bag littered with bath salts. Authorities said they hope the message hits home.
"It's very vivid when you see the teenager in the bag and I'm hoping it makes an impact to all the juveniles out there that this stuff is not to be messed with," said Seminole County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kim Cannaday.
The Florida Sheriff's Association joined forces with the a drug task force to produce the videos.

In fact, there are more full-time jobs supported by the nonprofit arts than are in accounting, public safety and even private law practice, and just slightly fewer than elementary school teachers.
The arts are essential to the health and vitality of our communities. They enhance community development, spur urban renewal, attract new businesses, draw tourism dollars and create an environment that attracts skilled, educated workers who can build a robust 21st century workforce.
There are approximately 100,000 nonprofit arts organizations which spend $63.1 billion annually in the United States. Without an economic stimulus for the nonprofit arts industry, experts expect about 10 percent of these organizations (ranging from large arts institutions like museums and orchestras to small community-based organizations in suburban, urban and rural areas) to shut their doors in 2009 - a loss of 260,000 jobs.
In a report released in mid-January, the National Governor's Association stated, "Arts and culture are important to state economies.
Arts and culture-related industries, also known as 'creative industries,' provide direct economic benefits to states and communities: They create jobs, attract investments, generate tax revenues and stimulate local economies through tourism and consumer purchases."

Swaziland faces mounting calls to open up a secretive fund allegedly used to bankroll the lavish lifestyle of its royal family to help rescue the kingdom from its financial crisis.
The Tibiyo Taka Ngwane fund is believed to control as much as half of the Swazi economy, with interests in sugar, diamonds, banking and property, but allows no public scrutiny and pays no tax.
Africa's last absolute monarch was handed a controversial US$355 million ($437 million) bailout by South Africa last week amid reports that hospitals were running out of medicines, public service salaries were going unpaid and Aids patients were eating cow dung. An alliance of businesses, opposition groups and trade unions have accused King Mswati III of using the billion-dollar investment vehicle set up "in trust" for the Swazi people as a private slush fund.
The fund was set up in the 1960s when families were told to donate cattle to help buy back land from colonial settlers. After independence it was given a royal charter by Mswati's father, King Sobhuza II, and put under the monarch's direct control.
The fund has since grown to the point where it holds majority stakes in companies including the country's biggest exporter, Ilovo Sugar, Swazi Spa Holdings, a string of shopping malls and the Swazi Observer newspaper. On its website the fund says that it is "most unfortunate that most people ... are largely ignorant of what Tibiyo is, what it stands for and what it does".
Tibiyo insists that recent criticism stems from it not having "adequately blown its trumpets" over spending on education and cultural events.
Mswati, 43, has ignored international pressure for democratic reforms and resisted calls from the World Bank and IMF to rein in his lifestyle, which includes shopping sprees for Maybach limousines and a string of palaces, in a country of 1.2 million people where poverty is endemic and life expectancy is below 50.
The king has banned opposition groups, but has encountered mounting protests, with unions demanding democratic reforms.
The kingdom has agreed to demands from the IMF to cut public sector wages by up to 10 per cent. The Swazi democracy movement plans a "global day of action" early next month.

In town to premiere her new movie The Killer Inside Me at the Tribeca Film Festival, Alba was attempting to heat up some fish sticks in her room at the Smyth Hotel on Wednesday when, according to Internet reports, she couldn't figure out how to work the oven. Instead, the actress almost caused a fire in the hotel – with smoke so bad that fire trucks were called to the scene.
But Alba's rep tells PEOPLE there was no fire. "They were preparing Honor's dinner," her rep, Brad Cafarelli, says. "[There was] no fire – just some smoke that unfortunately set off the alarm."
Alba is also a judge at the Tribeca Film Festival.
News of the near fish stick fire was first reported by the New York Post. – Julie Jordan

The D.C. Court of Appeals has ruled against letting voters have a say on gay marriage in the nation's capital.
The D.C. city council had legalized same-sex marriage earlier this year. But opponents of the measure worked to put an initiative up to vote that would have defined marriage as between one man and one woman.
City officials argued that a local human rights law forbid initiatives that allowed discrimination.
In Thursday's 5-4 ruling, the appeals court agreed that the measure does not have to be on the ballot.
Opponents say the ruling denies D.C. residents their most fundmental freedom, which is the right to vote
The issue could be challenged to the Supreme Court.

The Promotion of Breastfeeding Intervention Trial (PROBIT) Study Group1 is to be congratulated on acquiring much new data on the important but neglected topic of breastfeeding and IQ. However, as well as the known unknowns, the unknown knowns need just as much attention. The literature review (for which none of the authors took responsibility!) omitted many pertinent facts that would have simplified interpretation of their results. A major obstacle to scientific progress, especially in this field, is the known knowns, "what you know for sure that ain't so" (Mark Twain). Myths kill. Crucially, Donald Rumsfeld ignored known knowns! The mechanical sompe theory2 was designed to explain why certain serious infections were more common in nonbreastfed infants, but it covers a wider field and explains otherwise odd findings.1 It has also led to a critical evaluation of competing beliefs.

I'll be moving into a new apartment next month, and as my first post-college, "grownup" living space, I want it to look the part.
There are two obstacles to that goal. One, I'm basically starting from scratch. An old futon and a collection of concert posters don't exactly scream "mature." Two, I have a very slim budget.
To some of you, this probably sounds like a nightmare. But so far, the task has actually been fun. And it's a testament to the fact that anybody can be an decorator, even with just a few bucks to spare. Here's how to do it.
Survey your stuff
Whether you're planning on decorating a new place or you just want to change up a room, the best place to start looking for new stuff is your own house. Broken things can be fixed. Outdated things can be painted, reupholstered and given new purposes. Take a tour of Pinterest if you need some inspiration.
Get thrifty
The second place you should look for housewares and furniture is the thrift store. Many people use online classifieds, but that can be a slippery slope because you don't always know what you're getting. Thrift stores inspect the furniture they receive for things such as fleas, mold and other problems before they'll sell them.
One thing I've started buying from thrift stores are the big framed pieces of art. I've found beautiful intricate frames worth $75 for about $5 each.
Shop sales
Many retailers are shedding their summer and spring collections to make room for fall merchandise, so the sale racks are loaded with marked-down housewares right now. Living room furniture, patterned curtains and wall art are on sale for up to 50 percent off at World Market.
I also try to make it to TJ Maxx and Marshall's Homegoods for home accents such as candle holders and decorative mirrors.
If you're on a budget like me, cut out the middle man and learn how to do all your own home projects. There are tutorials on YouTube about easy and no-sew guides to making curtains and pillows. Teach yourself how to reupholster furniture, which could save hundreds of dollars.
Don't be afraid of "messing up." Paint that old dresser a bright color. Combine fabrics that wouldn't typically go to together. If you don't like the outcome, then start over. Decorating on the cheap means you have to be willing to roll up your sleeves and take some risks.

Amidst the slight rain and low cloud cover, we have spent the last two days in a majestic fjord called Andvord Bay, which is fed by at least a half dozen glaciers. A glance at the coast shows how the glaciers are flowing off the crumbling mountainside and into the water, but what we can't see with the naked eye is how the glaciers are releasing fresh water and reworked sediment into the water. Understanding these processes is one aspect of the purpose of our Andvord Bay survey. We have cast numerous CTDs to show us what is happening in the water column as well as deployed the yo-yo camera to learn about the biological activity in the bay. Switching out the yo-yo camera for our own point and click cameras, we got an opportunity to see biological activity right at the water surface on Monday night around midnight. With the sun still hanging in the sky as if it were mid afternoon rather than the twilight hour, a party of over eight hump back whales breached the surface to say hello. The waters in the bay are quite protected and productive, bringing the whales in to feed on krill that in turn feed on phytoplankton, which can grow rapidly with sunlight due to the current absence of sea ice. Yesterday, a party of four scientists, documented by the National Geographic team and aided by two Raytheon marine technicians, went out on the zodiacs to sample the phytoplankton. We tied three nets, each with a different pore size, to the back of the zodiacs and drove several transects to collect a suite of phytoplankton. Each of the scientists, including Duke University graduate student David Honig, Scripps graduate student Mattias Cape and his mentor Maria Vernet, and myself, will take splits of the catch and collaborate on the analyses that each of us will run at our home laboratories. The advantage of participating in the Larissa project is the opportunity to work with scientists within and outside our own disciplines to understand a particular system. At this point in the cruise, our attention is turned to understanding the oceanographic, biological, and geological workings of Andvord Bay. Another way at achieving our goal is by use of the ROV. Over the past few days, Katrien Heirman, Dries Boone, and Lieven Naudts have been readying "Suzee" for a swim, and last night we lowered the ROV into the water for a dive that lasted through the early morning hours. The team has set-up "Suzee TV" for us to see what she is seeing on TVs throughout the ship, and we all watched along as Suzee came across a benthic community that varies from what we saw in Flandres Bay, according to David Honig's first glance of the footage. Over the 5-hour dive, highlights include an octopus sighting and the collection of a handful of tube worms, a starfish, and krill. All were excited for a successful deployment and for the opportunity to use Suzee again.
Yesterday evening and into the early morning hours of today, we halted our geological and biological survey of Andvord Bay. During the day, the weather was clear, allowing a short helicopter flight to Duthier's Point, where Dr. Eugene Domack and Dr. Amy Leventer identified glacial as well as marine sediments, and Dr. Greg Balco and graduate student Debra Tillinger scrambled on the rocky cliffs to collect rocks for exposure dating. The trip proved successful in both scientific objectives and penguin sightings. Later in the evening around 11 pm, we deployed our first mega core, which is a device that collects 12 separate sediment cores. We outfitted the already impressive coring apparatus with an underwater camera that allows us to decide where to release the core. With the efforts of the Captain and his crew, we can position our equipment quite well, but in reality, deploying a device from the ship to the seafloor is a bit like dangling a 1000 lb piece of equipment from a skyscraper. The camera gives us extra flexibility in choosing our coring sites and is extremely important when we are targeting specific benthic habitats. For example, in the Larsen System, we will be targeting the methane cold seep for both geological and biological analyses, and we would like to collect cores from the cold seep. Last night, we were excited with the success of the camera and the mega core itself, recovering eight of the 12 sediment cores. Several scientists claimed the cores for a suite of different analyses. Hamilton College professor Mike McCormick selected two cores for microbial analyses, and Dr. Craig Smith, post doctoral fellow Laura Grange, and graduate student David Honig used several cores to document macrofauna living in the sediment, and Dr. Scott Ishamn examine one core for foraminfera. Everyone out on deck got a sneak peak of one the macrofauna species as the cores came out of the water. Because the plastic tubes that hold the sediment cores are clear, we could all see a few unfortunate krill that got caught in the water above the sediment.
Just after the mega core made it out of the water, we prepared to collect another jumbo Kasten core from Paradise Harbor. The core came out of the water during the twilight hours at a length of 113 cm. After deploying countless CTD casts and yo-yo cameras and two telling sediment cores, we have decided to transit south to Barilari Bay, where we can commence a biological and geological survey of this fjord and send off the glaciologists to perform their work on the eastern side of the peninsula via helicopter.
Friday morning brought us into Barilari Bay. A quick look outside at the surrounding waters was enough to show some differences between this fjord and the last, Andvord Bay. More bergy bits and ice bergs are floating alongside the ship in this area, and the waters are less productive and less salty. The system receives a high sediment load from the surrounding glacial system, which includes at least six main glaciers. To put data behind our preliminary observations, we deployed yo-yo cameras, CTDs, and the ROV as well as collected a 1.3 m Kasten core, which contained mainly terrigenous sandy-clay sediments. We also performed an extensive survey of the seafloor topography, what we call bathymetry, which is the first time this has been done for Barilari Bay. While we are all eager to learn about the geology, oceanography, and biology of an unchartered fjord system, we were all relieved when Saturday morning brought blindingly sunny weather. The window of clear conditions was ideal for flying a team of four glaciologists (Terry Haran, Ted Scambos, Ronald Ross, and Erin Pettit) to Site Beta, the Larissa ice camp, where a team led by Ellen Mosley-Thompson is drilling a 400-meter ice core. See pictures of the ice camp, taken by Raytheon Marine Projects Coordinator Adam Jenkins.
The glaciology group aims to install in-situ devices referred to as AMIGOS (Automated Meteorology-Ice-Geophysics Observation Stations), which include ice GPS units, thermistor strings (temperature recording device), and digital cameras for time-elapsed footage to monitor glaciers that feed the Larsen System. The glaciology team also aims to conduct seismic surveys of the ice. Their work will complement the geologic, biologic, and oceanographic work that we hope to conduct in the Larsen System, when we return to the eastern side of the Peninsula in February.

Leftists of late have become very defensive about being called socialist in their ideology, as typified by Kevin Buck's column (Feb. 19, "Straw men live in glass houses").
In defense, they always trot out the same old canard, a quote of one of the word's dictionary definitions, claiming their policies differ somehow — exactly what Buck did in his column.
But reality tells a different story. Buck claims that Obama and Company aren't socialists. I beg to differ.
I'll point to Obama's interference with the auto industry with the bailouts, and how secured creditors were basically told to pound sand while their ownership equity was turned over to the unions.
Obamacare is another prime example, with wealth redistribution from those who earn an income to those who don't through the intermediary of a government program.
Obama's own proclamation that if you own a business, you didn't build that!
His constant harping on punishing success in this country through confiscatory and redistributive tax policies geared at — again — taking at the point of a government gun from those who produce wealth in order to give it to those who are unproductive.
Most tellingly, in recent years we've seen a constant and increasingly shrill demonization of the rich, a class that's constantly being redefined downward, as if somehow it's now become shameful to work hard and be successful.
This is the same rhetoric that was used in 1917 by Lenin and the Bolsheviks to foment the Russian Revolution, and by many other Marxist tyrants since.
American leftist/socialists don't like being outed for what they really are, which is why they constantly try to throw up smokescreens and write screechy sanctimonious articles and columns.
But it simply won't work, and more than a skunk can change its stripes. The people are catching on. They know a socialist when they see one.

Babies: We Love Picassos More Than French Impressionists!Madeline Holler
Don't be surprised if next season's toys, books and nursery decor features Picasso-like images. A new study has found that babies prefer the bold, high contrast paintings of the Spanish master to the subtle soft strokes of France's Monet.
Five different experiment seem to confirm that for 9-month-old critics, Picasso is the most interesting.
The studies' lead author, University of Zurich psychologist Trix Cacchione, says that at just under a year, babies vision is much like that of adults, though the interpret the images differently.
From MSNBC:
"To an infant, a painting is most likely only a perceptual pattern and their aesthetic preferences are most likely guided by low-level functions of the visual system," Cacchione said.
But the researchers wanted to know if the babies would favor one style of the other. They did. They also wanted to know what types of images they favored — abstract ones or nice landscapes.
In one experiment, 24 babies were shown images of Picasso's landscape of "Juan-les-pin" and Monet's "Poppy Field Near Giverny." Preference was determined by how long the baby looked at each image. Babies who had been shown the Monet spent more time look at the Picasso. The interesting thing is that babies who had been showed other Picasso's also looked at "Landscape" longer.
Another experiment was conducted the same way, only the images were shown in black and white. Who'd they stare at longer? Picasso, yet again.
Cacchione speculates that the Picasso's were easier to process and, therefore, offered more stimulation to the growing brains. The study is in the journal Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts.

This strip of fur, with hair still covering one end and adhering also in a few scattered patches, might once have been part of a warming fur garment or cover. There are stitch marks along upper edge for the attachment of another strip, part of which remains and in the middle of the piece, three holes have been cut, one above the other. An analysis has shown that the skin comes from a medium-sized domestic dog.

The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had ruled in U.S. v. Santos, 461 F.3d 886 (2006), that the law didn't apply to an illicit lottery that spent its proceeds on operating expenses. Circuit precedent holds that the money laundering law applies to net rather than gross profits, the appeals court said, noting that other appeals courts have disagreed.
The U.S. Solicitor General says the 7th Circuit ruling "removes a large class of routinely prosecuted money laundering cases from the reach of the [money laundering] statute," the Associated Press reports.
The court also remanded two cases challenging state partial-birth abortion laws, Scotusblog says.

$3.5 Million DARPA Grant Supports Research on Chip-Scale Wavelength Division Multiplexing
November 5, 2002
Santa Barbara, Calif.--A team of five University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) researchers has been awarded a four-year, $3.5 million grant by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to investigate how to pipe digital and analog information through a photonic circuit on a single compound semiconductor chip.
The principal investigator for the grant is Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor Daniel Blumenthal, who also serves as associate director of the UCSB Multidisciplinary Optical Switching Technology (MOST) Center. Blumenthal said, "Our team at UCSB is pleased that DARPA's Microelectronics Technology Office has enabled us to tackle this very difficult problem. We are gratified to have been chosen to figure out and implement an approach to a question that is challenging both scientifically and technologically."
Digital signals are made up of discrete pieces of information or bits (i.e., 0 or 1). Analog signals convey information in terms of the amplitude of waves. Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) allows multiple digital or analog signals to be transmitted on different colors of light in the same optical fiber. All-optical wavelength conversion refers to modulating or imprinting a photonic signal from one color (wavelength of light) to another without resorting to electronics to control the process.
The research project deals with chip-scale integration of all-optical wavelength converter technology, which imparts the ability to imprint information from one color of light onto another color of light without passing the signal through electronics. The level of integration required for this project is comparable in difficulty to that faced by the electronics industry in the early days of analog electronics.
The requirements for imprinting a digital signal differ from the requirements for imprinting an analog signal. Basically, a digital signal requires clarity in imprinting -- i.e., the "0" or the "1" precisely conveyed from one color to another. With an analog signal, the emphasis is on replicating little variations in amplitude over a wide amplitude range. The daunting task the UCSB researchers have before them is to integrate different devices on a single chip as well as meet both analog and digital requirements for a single photonic circuit.
Blumenthal said that the group has mapped out a 10-year plan, beyond the current program, for advancing this goal to future generations of photonics system integration at the chip-scale.
The other four UCSB researchers are all professors of electrical and computer engineering: John Bowers, director of MOST; Larry Coldren, director of the Optoelectronics Technology Center (OTC); Evelyn Hu, science director of the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) at Santa Barbara; and Nadir Dagli.

The season 12 finale of Dancing with the Stars is just one week away but the professional dancers and their celebrity partners aren't necessarily fretting about whether or not they'll perform the anticipated freestyle dance – or, ultimately, take home the mirror ball trophy.
Instead, the dancers' thoughts were with Kym Johnson, whose horrible fall while rehearsing with Hines Ward was replayed during Monday's emotional show.
"You hate to see bad things happen to good people and Kym Johnson does not have a bad bone in her body," Chelsea Kane told PEOPLE backstage on Monday night. "She is so kind and supportive of all of us and is such a light in this competition. For her to be in a neck brace? We were scared."
Despite the scare, Johnson felt she had an obligation to soldier on.
"I wanted Hines to make the finals. I wouldn't have wanted Hines to have to dance with somebody else," said Johnson, who allowed fellow pro Cheryl Burke to step in and rehearse with Ward over the weekend.
Her partner was understandably protective. "I told her, 'You know your body better than anyone else. If you're not feeling it don't do it,' " Ward said. "I know the competitor she is."
That's why nobody dared try to talk Johnson into bowing out.
"Dancers, man. You just can't do it," Mark Ballas said. "You don't quit."
That's easy for Ballas to say. He and Kane are in a very strong position going into the semifinal results show on Tuesday firmly atop the leader board, though Johnson and Ward had a terrific night as well.
And while it appears that Ralph Macchio and Karina Smirnoff have a mountain of odds against them, the two aren't counting themselves out just yet. Despite being the lowest scoring couple last week, their fan votes pulled them through. Will that again be the case?
Macchio is optimistic: "We have so much more to bring," he said.
The live results show airs Tuesday (9 p.m. ET) on ABC.

GENESEE COUNTY, MI --Attorney Jennifer Manley was the top vote-getter against two competitors in the Aug. 5 primary for an opening 67th Genesee District Court seat.
Manley, of Goodrich, received 4,176 votes to 3,228 votes for Matthew Karr, a Davison Township board member and 2,058 votes for Lori Tallman, a local attorney whose operated a private practice in the area for more than two decades.
The judgeship includes the communities of Davison, Burton, Otisville, Goodrich, as well as the townships of Davison, Forest and Richfield.
Manley previously served 12 years as assistant Genesee County prosecutor and currently works in a private practice alongside husband and attorney Frank J. Manley.
The seat is being left open by Genesee District Judge John L. Conover, who was prevented from seeking re-election because the state Constitution does not allow individuals 70 and older to be elected to a state judicial office.

Why don't law schools teach students how to be lawyers?Breaking News
...Law schools' aversion to all things vocational has been much debated, both inside and outside the academy. But critics are fighting both tradition and the legal academy's peculiar set of neuroses.
"Law school has a kind of intellectual inferiority complex, and it's built into the idea of law school itself," says W. Bradley Wendel of the Cornell University Law School, a professor who has written about landing a law school teaching job. "People who teach at law school are part of a profession and part of a university. So we're always worried that other parts of the academy are going to look down on us and say: 'You're just a trade school, like those schools that advertise on late-night TV. You don't write dissertations. You don't write articles that nobody reads.' And the response of law school professors is to say: 'That's not true. We do all of that. We're scholars, just like you.' "
This trade-school anxiety can be traced back to the mid-19th century, when legal training was mostly technical and often taught in rented rooms that were unattached to institutions of higher education.
A lawyer named Christopher Langdell changed that when he was appointed dean of the Harvard Law School in 1870 and began to rebrand legal education. Mr. Langdell introduced "case method," which is the short answer to the question "What does law school teach you if not how to be a lawyer?" This approach cultivates a student's capacity to reason and all but ignores the particulars of practice.
Consider, for instance, Contracts, a first-year staple. It is one of many that originated in the Langdell era and endures today. In it, students will typically encounter such classics as Hadley v. Baxendale, an 1854 dispute about financial damages caused by the late delivery of a crankshaft to a British miller....
"We should be teaching what is really going on in the legal system," says Edward L. Rubin, a professor and former dean at the Vanderbilt Law School, "not what was going on in the 1870s, when much of the legal curriculum was put in place."

Humane society seeks homes for ferretsBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | March 14,2013Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
Jessica Danyow, director of operations at the Rutland County Humane Society, holds ferrets, Julia, Valentino and J.R. on Wednesday.The Rutland County Humane Society is trying to ferret out homes for its newest guests.
Seven ferrets and seven hamsters have recently arrived at the Humane Society, according to executive director Gretchen Goodman.
The society has also taken in seven Guinea pigs, but Goodman says those are still too small to adopt.
Last year, the Humane Society handled 889 cats, 330 dogs and 53 other animals, according to Goodman. So, while ferrets and hamsters showing up there is not uncommon, Goodman said they don't typically get this many at once.
"Our (dog and cat) population is lower than it usually is," Goodman said Wednesday. "For some reason, the smalls have taken over."
The hamsters and Guinea pigs each arrived as one litter, but Goodman said the ferrets came from two different homes, one that was "downsizing" and another where the owner had to move unexpectedly.
"The thing with hamsters is they can start breeding very young," she said. "They need to be separated — not just for the breeding reasons. Hamsters, except for dwarf hamsters, they don't get along."
Goodman said hamsters live two to three years.
"They are not great for a toddler because they can't be handled," she said. Guinea pigs can.
Guinea pigs live about five years and eat a diet of fruits and leafy green vegetables.
"Guinea pigs are a really good pet for children because they can be handled," Goodman said. "They're squeakers — they make noise. They're very social. ... A Guinea pig can really be a great first pet for a kid. They can really be cute. As soon as you open the fridge, they start whistling for their food."
Ferrets live five to eight years and eat a high-protien diet. Goodman said they are good for an apartment where a dog or a cat might not be allowed.
"Ferrets are related to weasels," she said. "They're smart, very curious and very active. ... They're into climbing and they like to hide. You'll need to have your house ferret-proofed."

That's the latest from David Chase, the creator of the classic HBO drama, who was compelled to issue a statement after Vox quoted him as saying the New Jersey mobster lived after the screen went black in the series ender.
On Wednesday, Vox wrote a long tone poem about the infamous finale and finished it off with an eye-opening quote from Chase about whether Tony, played by the late James Gandolfini, was actually dead.
"No," Chase was quoted as saying. "No he isn't."
By day's end, however, a spokeswoman for Chase felt it necessary to clarify the writer's remarks.
"A journalist for Vox misconstrued what David Chase said in their interview," said spokeswoman Leslee Dart.
"To simply quote David as saying, 'Tony Soprano is not dead,' is inaccurate. There is a much larger context for that statement and as such, it is not true. As David Chase has said numerous times on the record, 'Whether Tony Soprano is alive or dead is not the point.' To continue to search for this answer is fruitless."
The statement concludes with, "The final scene of The Sopranos raises a spiritual question that has no right or wrong answer."
Don't stop believing, Tony fans.

Major provisions of Pennsylvania's controversial law governing the oil and natural-gas industry were ruled unconstitutional Thursday, allowing communities to keep drilling away from homes, schools, and parks.
The 4-3 ruling by a Commonwealth Court panel was a blow to Gov. Corbett, who has pushed to attract gas drilling and the resulting jobs to the state. An appeal of the ruling to the state Supreme Court was likely, Corbett's office said.
The provisions of Act 13 that override local zoning and environmental laws are "unconstitutional, null, and void," President Judge Dan Pellegrini wrote.
"Every citizen in the state should be pleased that the concept of local zoning has been upheld," said Nancy Alessi, a supervisor in Nockamixon Township, Bucks County, which is one of the plaintiffs in the suit. "This was a huge portion of the act, and the court ruled definitively, overturning it."

WORKERS have embarked on an illegal strike at a South African mine run by world the world's third-biggest bullion producer, AngloGold Ashanti, a company spokesman said on Friday, signalling spreading labour unrest in the mining sector.
"The night shift embarked on an unprotected strike at Kopanang and the morning shift didn't go down either," company spokesman Alan Fine said.
Fine said the mine had 5,000 workers and the strikers had not yet communicated their demands to the company.
A spokesman for the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) said the strikers wanted a wage of R12,500 a month, mirroring demands at other mines.
The AngloGold disruption comes a day after thousands reported back for work at platinum producer Lonmin after a wage hike deal was reached to end six weeks of industrial action and protest in which 46 people died.
Lonmin said the wage settlement would add 14% to its wage bill from October 1, a huge strain on a company battling with an already shaky balance sheet and rising costs on other fronts.
Workers at the world's top platinum producer, Anglo American Platinum, and bullion producer Gold Fields are also on illegal strikes over pay.
South African Reserve Bank governor Gill Marcus said she was concerned the Lonmin settlement could set a precedent for future wage demands, spurring broader inflation.

The study on heat pyrexia (heat stroke) in this issue of The Journal, p. 1175, is a derivative of human physiological research in hyperenvironments, conducted at the Aerospace Medical Laboratory, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The Air Force has long been interested in the effects of extreme heat on crews of high-performance aircraft and of spacecraft to come. As a result, a comprehensive study was launched a few years ago in which it was hoped to learn the stepwise effect of quantitative loads of heat—to the point of clinical heat stroke—upon healthy, unanesthetized humans. That this could be done was principally due to two factors: the availability of human volunteers and the uniqueness of the environmental chambers at this laboratory. These chambers can simulate practically any combination of temperature, humidity, air motion, and even air pressure.
For the main part, thermal exposures were at a level of 130° F (54.4°

COLUMBIA - South Carolina health officials are launching a new effort to review deaths associated with pregnancy.
This week, the Department of Health and Environmental Control announced the creation of a committee that will meet regularly to try to find ways to make pregnancy, and the months that come after it, safer for South Carolina women.
The South Carolina Pregnancy-Associated Maternal Mortality Review Board, which is holding its first meeting next month, will review all cases of women who died either during pregnancy or shortly thereafter.
According to DHEC, 49 South Carolina women died during either pregnancy or within a year of the end of their pregnancies. More than half of those - 25 deaths - came within six weeks of delivery, DHEC said. During that same time frame, there were 233,445 live births in South Carolina, according to the agency.
"Nobody should be dying in 2013 of childbirth," DHEC director Catherine Templeton said Tuesday. "They are going to go and look at everything about these deaths."
The state health department already closely monitors infant mortality. In 2012, 435 babies born in South Carolina died before their first birthday. The infant mortality rate in this state is 7.6 deaths per 1,000 live births - significantly higher than the estimated national infant mortality rate, which was 5.9 in 2012.
Exact details for the panel, like how many members it will have or how many times it will meet per year, are still being worked out. But Dr. Judith Burgis, chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, said that she expects the group to be comprised of coroners, mental health professionals and a variety of other health care providers.
The panel hopes to learn what impediments to health care those women might have faced - like lack of transportation to get to the doctor - and how to improve that situation for other women.
Other eventual recommendations could include established protocols for how to deal with a woman who hemorrhages during childbirth, or the right treatment for an expectant mother with heart disease.
According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly half of all maternal deaths could have been avoided.

The mammalian immune system can be divided into two arms that act together to provide both immediate and long-term immunity to pathogens, the innate and adaptive immune branches, respectively. The more primitive, innate branch of the immune system provides critical regulation of adaptive immunity, in part through numerous germline-encoded pattern recognition receptors (PRR). These receptors include Toll-like receptors (TLR), NOD-like receptors (NLR), RIG-I-like RNA helicases and C-type lectin receptors.
TLRs have been extensively studied in this innate-adaptive interface, however a new class of PRRs, the NOD-like receptors, has recently been found to also regulate adaptive immune responses. However, for a majority of the 22 known NLR human family members, their triggers and physiologic function remain unknown.
Research Focus
Our lab focuses specifically on the role of NLRs in shaping adaptive immunity. We discovered that the NLR Nlrp3, which forms an inflammasome with caspase-1 and ASC, is critical in the adjuvant function of aluminum hydroxide and nanoparticles during vaccination. Yet how inflammasome activation regulates adaptive immunity is still a mystery. Further, we have found that a number of novel NLR family members are also critical in the initiation of T and B cells responses. We are actively working on answering these questions in the context of animal autoimmunity and vaccine models as well as in human studies.
