The benefit of liberation from rent control
A new paper estimates that Massachusetts voters' decision to end rent control added $2 billion to the value of Cambridge, Mass. residential housing stock over 10 years. While some of this represents the improved worth of rental property whose value had been artificially suppressed by the previous law, much of it reflects improvements in the value of other, nearby property that had never been under rent control, as increased rates of renovation and improvement made whole neighborhoods more desirable. "In net, our estimates imply that more than half (55 percent) of the capitalized cost of rent control was borne by owners of never-controlled properties, illustrating both the importance of spillovers in housing markets and the potential unintended side effects of price ceilings." [David H. Autor, Christopher J. Palmer and Parag A. Pathak, Cato Research Briefs in Economic Policy]
Boston attack on Padma Lakshmi and crew
If done by anyone other than unionists, this would by now be a trending national story:
The Teamsters picketers were already mad. By the time Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi's car pulled up to the Steel & Rye restaurant in the picturesque New England town of Milton just outside Boston, one of them ran up to her car and screamed, "We're gonna bash that pretty face in, you f*cking wh*re!"
"She was scared," said a Top Chef crewmember who witnessed the incident.
Bravo had incurred the wrath of Charlestown-based Teamsters Local 25 by using its own production assistants as drivers, reports the Boston Herald:
The picketers lobbed sexist, racist and homophobic slurs at the rest of the cast and crew for most of the day, the website reported, and when production wrapped, the "Top Chef" crew found that tires were slashed on 14 of their cars. Milton police confirmed that the union members were "threatening, heckling and harassing" but said no arrests were made.
The Herald quotes a spokeswoman for Local 25, Melissa Hurley, sounding completely unapologetic: "As far as we're concerned, nothing happened." Or to put it differently: Teamsters Will Be Teamsters.
More, including the violent history that makes this incident anything but "isolated," from the Boston Globe. I've posted on the curious exemption of unions from the law of harassment, stalking, hostile environment, intimidation, etc. here, here (more on Philadelphia Quaker meetinghouse arson), and in various other posts, as well as in my book The Excuse Factory.

[Boston Globe]
ABA Journal on police forensic lab scandals
Mark Hansen in the ABA Journal with an overview of how crime labs have finally come under scrutiny following a "string of shoddy, suspect and fraudulent results" in Boston, New York, North Carolina, Nassau County, N.Y. and elsewhere.
In St. Paul, Minn., assistant public defender Lori Traub stumbled into her local lab's problems and
says she was horrified by what she found: The lab, an old-fashioned "cop shop," was run by a police sergeant with no scientific background, had no written operating procedures, didn't clean instruments between testing, allowed technicians unlimited access to the drug vault, and didn't have anyone checking anyone else's work. Analysts didn't know what a validity study was, used Wikipedia as a technical reference, and in their lab reports referred to "white junk" clogging an instrument.
It gets much worse. A West Virginia state serologist, following the DNA clearance of a man he had previously identified as a rapist, "was eventually found to have falsified test results in as many as 134 cases during a 10-year period." Oklahoma City Police Department crime lab chemist Joyce Gilchrist
who testified as a prosecution expert in 23 death penalty cases, including those of 12 inmates who were later executed, was fired in 2001 for doing sloppy work and giving false or misleading testimony. Nicknamed "Black Magic" by detectives for her seeming ability to get lab results no other chemist could, Gilchrist was never prosecuted for her alleged misdeeds, though she reportedly was named a defendant in at least one lawsuit against the city by a convicted rapist who was later exonerated.
More: And according to a new paper, it turns out that many state police labs are actually paid per conviction, a practice that tends to incentive false-positive error.
Liability for the Boston Marathon bombing?
According to a panel discussion hosted by the law firm of Edwards Wildman Palmer, sponsors of the Boston Marathon could face liability claims over the terrorist bombing of the event. One panelist cited the Station nightclub fire litigation in Rhode Island, in which plaintiffs lodged claims against upwards of 90 defendants, such as beer and radio-station sponsors of the concert, and won substantial settlements — $22 million from the parent company of the local radio station and $21 million from the beer defendants, for example.

MyNetworkTV, the new primetime TV network with 167 affiliates representing 96 percent of U.S. TV households, selected TANDBERG Television to provide both HD and SD MPEG-2 encoding solutions for its Sept. 5 launch.
The selection marks the sixth U.S. broadcast network currently using TANDBERG systems for satellite distribution of network programming to affiliates. Implementation of the new system lets MyNetworkTV, the only HD broadcast TV network in the United States, deploy a satellite distribution system that enables the highest quality of video for its launch.
At its network origination center in Los Angeles, MyNetworkTV will deploy TANDBERG's E5710 and E5780 MPEG-2 SD and HD encoders, MX5620 multiplexers and Director v5 network management and receiver control system. Each affiliate, depending on its use of either the SD or HD feed (or both), will deploy a TT1260 MPEG-2 SD or TT1280 MPEG-2 HD professional receiver.
The TANDBERG Director system is designed to manage encoding systems at the point of program origination via TANDBERG nCompass Control and remotely control and manage up to 50,000 receivers deployed in the field. The newest Director release differs from earlier versions of the system in that no smart cards are required for receiver control. Security is embedded inside the receivers.

HP - No WMA for IPod
"Contrary to reports, Hewlett-Packard will not be supporting Microsoft's Windows Media Audio format in its forthcoming HP-branded iPod. [...]
"We're not going to be supporting WMA for now," said Muffi Ghadiali, product marketing manager for HP's digital entertainment products group.
"We picked the service that was the most popular (Apple's iTunes Music Store)," said Ghadiali. "We could have chosen another format, but that would have created more confusion for our customers."

Makes sense to me. They team up with iTunes, then why would they want the hPod to play antying but AAC? Nobody seems to complain that napster's audio player only plays mp3s downloaded from the napster service.

"We could have chosen another format, but that would have created more confusion for our customers."
Good insight HP; you're customers are already confused enough.
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on January 13, 2004 at 11:36 AM (CST)
Well duh!! Apple were never going to allow WMA to infest ipods! Why would they allow sales to disappear from ITMS? It makes no logical sense!
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on January 13, 2004 at 2:48 PM (CST)
There is one aspect of this all that has been overlooked by most. iTunes should support WMA in that it should include a one-way utility allowing users to convert the few WMA songs they may have been suckered into buying into AAC for use in iTunes. They could bill it as "come to iTunes and take your dead-end format music library with you".
No, iTunes shouldn't play WMA files. No, the iPod shouldn't support WMA files. But let's give the consumers the "choice" that Microsoft wants them to have.
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on January 13, 2004 at 2:52 PM (CST)
I hope this burns Microsoft…

some might be disapointed that the "superior format" will not be on the ipod after all.

I think this is stupid. Limiting consumer choice is NEVER a good thing.

It's ridiculous that they have chosen not to support WMA format. If they want in on the PC format, then why do they refuse to support windows standard files? Is stupid and frustrating. If a selection of formats confuses you then you really must be easy to confuse! If you don't like it, then just stick to what you know! iPod is great, but its a shame that they limit it so.

Limiting consumer choice? Who the hell would choose WMA? As Bugs Bunny said, "Good riddance to bad rubbish."
WMA should be named WMD - because supporting it has spelled doom for the various and miscellaneous music stores out there… buymusic.com, napster 2.0, wal-mart, dull, musicmush.
Let me ask you this, if Microsoft drops a shitpile media format in the woods, then tries to cram it down the consumers' throats - but nobody listens to it - will it ever be missed? Not by anyone with a dribble of sense.
Posted by Dennis Lloyd in Irvine, CA on January 14, 2004 at 8:34 PM (CST)
Okay, not to beat a dead horse here (though that is exactly what WMA is turning out to be) but there have been plenty of choices made - and there continue to be.
Microsoft chose to cram a drachonian, all-controlling, big-brotheresque WMA DRM scheme down our throat that makes AAC/Fairplay look like no DRM at all.
The consumers have chosen AAC in the form of 32 million purchases and counting - 70% of the total download sales market… OR Ogg and MP3 for free distribution.
Even the big companies have chosen AAC: XM Radio transmits in AAC; Nokia sells and distributes hundreds of millions of media files in AAC format; the biggest Wintel box-assembler in the business, HP, has chosen AAC; and even REAL has decided to go with AAC for their new music store (because they wanted to make some real money after bleeding money through that Rhapsody boondoggle for so long).
Who chose WMD? (oops, I mean WMA)... The morons who needed to tried to get a music store out right fast and had to go with the "music store in a box" that a certain Microsoft partner had all ready to go. That's why they're all the same, folks.
So after Dolby, Fraunhofer (FhG), AT&T, Sony, and Nokia got together to form the MPEG consortium and choose to build a superior codec to succeed MP3 (that's what AAC is… MP4 [or m4p or whatever - same thing]), then Microsoft chose to stay on the outside. Redmond chose to limit consumer choice in another attempt to control the consumer experience.
Let them all live with their choices.

Choices. That is what it all comes down to then isn't it? So if it is up to the choices, then it would weigh heavily in favour of the hardware suppliers to make the use of their equipment available to people who have made all choices. Quite appart from the fact that if you want to download free music you, often, end up with a great many WMA files. Try it next time you are after that elusive song on limewire…
The bottom line is that it should not be about "tyranical" companies ramming their standards (crappy or otherwise) down consumers throats. It is about consumers getting the music they want, when they want it. Not having to go and buy it off some site, but being able to create it themselves or get it off the net. You have to be literally blind not to notice that the total, and absolute VAST majority of people will ALWAYS go for the free option REGARDLESS of the file type, than go and pay for it online.
Money is still to be made by hardware manufacturers, so all they need to do now is cater for all manner of audiences…
Let them all live with their choices. Indeed.

Rupert Murdoch Clarifies 'Scumbag Celebrities' Rant, Calls Them 'Dodgy'
The News Corp. CEO had criticized celebs, such as Charlotte Church and Hugh Grant, against whom he also took a direct shot, for pushing for stricter U.K. privacy laws.
LONDON -- Under pressure from critics, News Corp. chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch has issued an apology of sorts for the words he used in a Twitter rant, in which he had called out "scumbag celebrities" for having met British Prime Minister David Cameron to push for stricter U.K. privacy laws.
But in the process, the media mogul called the celebrities "dodgy," setting off another wave of angry tweets.
Welsh singer and actress Charlotte Church and British TV host Jacqui Hames had on Sunday taken to Twitter to urge Murdoch to withdraw and apologize for the weekend tweet about "scumbag celebrities." According to reports, Cameron had met with them and others, including actor Grant.
One critic tweeted to Murdoch: "It's disappointing to see your tweets descending to the language of the gutter."
Murdoch late Sunday U.S. time responded: "Sorry, you are right. Sometimes too angry."
A journalist also sent a tweet to Murdoch, saying: "I set up meeting between PM, a former Crimewatch presenter, a singer and an actor. You must be referring to all."
Responded Murdoch: "I never referred to any particular people, just some "dodgy" self promoting celebrities. Repeat apology for language."
In another tweet, he said he was "not referring to these ladies."
The mogul in a response to yet another person on Twitter then drew a connection to the current U.K. debate about sexual harrassment charges against late Top of the Pops host Jimmy Savile. Murdoch said the likes of Savile would be "further protected if we don't fight Cameron, dodgy celebrities in UK." He added that such a thing "could not happen in [the] US."
Church expressed her displeasure with the mogul's new wording. She messaged him on Twitter with the lines: "What do you mean by 'dodgy'? My understanding of the word is 'lacking legitimacy', a term that befits NI before me or J.Hames."
"NI" stands for News International, the U.K. newspaper unit of News Corp. that has been at the center of the phone hacking scandal. Church earlier this year settled phone hacking charges with News Corp. for $950,000.
Hames also tweeted: "When you're in a hole Rupert....Celebrities not scumbags, just 'dodgy,' Murdoch tweets."
Earlier in the weekend debate about his original comment, Murdoch also seemed to take a direct shot at Grant.
"Scumbags? And your journalists and executives are what?" one critic tweeted to him. Responded Murdoch: "They don't get arrested for indecency on major LA highways! Or abandon love child's."
Late last year, reports emerged that Grant had a baby with a Chinese woman after a brief affair. In 1995, he was arrested for lewd conduct in the company of a prostitute in LA.

Electric Hot Tuna is proud to be a part of Bill Graham's 81st Birthday Bash which will help raise money for the Bill Graham Memorial Foundation.
The Bill Graham Memorial Foundation, was formed in January of 2008 in memory of the legendary rock impresario, Bill Graham. The foundation is a public charity that is funded through individual and corporate contributions and grants.
The Foundation is guided by a broad-based group which includes Bill's sons, several former long-time employees of Bill Graham Presents and other community leaders.
A mission of The Bill Graham Memorial Foundation is the giving of grants primarily in the areas of music, the arts and education, while also supporting social work, environmental protection, and spiritual and compassionate projects in our community. In this spirit, The Bill Graham Memorial Foundation seeks to assist those whose needs are oftentimes not served by larger philanthropic organizations. The mission includes education and outreach programs, the establishment of a museum and of an annual community award, the "Bill Graham Awards". The Foundation holds annual fundraising events in San Francisco and New York.
If you have never heard Bill's story you should. It is an amazing tale of an American Hero!
Hot Tuna, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, returns to the Beacon Theatre for two nights on December 9 and 10, 2011 to celebrate the music and the fun sparked off by the release of Steady As She Goes, their first studio album in 20 years. Larry Campbell, Teresa Williams, David Bromberg, Charlie Musselwhite, GE Smith and Steve Kimock will join electric Hot Tuna with band members extrordinaire Barry Mitterhoff and Skoota Warner for the 8 p.m. shows. The Beacon is at 2124 Broadway, New York City. For tickets and more information: www.beacon.theatre-
Helping them celebrate at the Beacon will be special guests, Charlie Musselwhite, master of the harmonica, who toured along with Hot Tuna and Jim Lauderdale earlier this year on the Hot Tuna Blues tour will be hanging with the guys for the weekend. Charlie's talented harmonica playing and history steeped in the blues is a perfect blend to the Hot Tuna being served! So if you missed Charlie with Tuna earlier this year. Now is your chance.
During their more than four decade long career Jorma and Jack have created some of the most significant music of our time and Steady As She Goes shows that they remain one of the most innovative bands in American music. Recorded at Levon Helm's studio and produced by Grammy-winning producer Larry Campbell, the album captures the energy of their live performances with Barry Mitterhoff on mandolin, drummer Skoota Warner (Cyndi Lauper, Matisyahu, Santana) as well as Campbell joining them on guitar, fiddle, organ and vocals and Theresa Williams on vocals.
David Bromberg, often referred to as the guitarist's guitarist, will be joining Hot Tuna at the Beacon too! Jorma and David find themselves performing together a few times each year, and their roots run deep. It will be interesting to see if he comes acoustic or electric . . . only one way to find out!
GE Smith has to be one of the most sought after session players around. He has performed and recorded with an exceptionally wide spectrum of influential artists from Bob Dylan, Eddie Van Halen, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Rickie Lee Jones, Al Green, Bryan Ferry, David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Lonnie Mack and the list…too long to print.
Steve Kimock, who has earned a living wowing all kinds of audiences with his extraordinary guitar abilities, will also be joining the guys for the weekend. Steve adds a new element to the Tuna stew with his wide range of playing styles that can progress from jazz-influenced rhythms to Roky Erikson (13th Floor Elevators) styled psychedelic leads.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 Dreamcast
- Publisher: Activision
- Release Date: Nov 6, 2000
- Also On: iPhone/iPad, PC
- Critic Score
- Most active
- Publication
- Most clicked
There's enough skaters, objectives, levels, and secrets to unlock to keep you going for weeks, if not months, and even after you've mastered the entire game, you'll be coming back for more.
The comparison between THPS2 for the Dreamcast and PlayStation can be directly correlated to a comparison of Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears.... Because Spears (like the Dreamcast version) is four times as enhanced as Aguilera, she is recognized as a better product.
More game play, more parks, more sounds and more options than you can shake a stick at - Tony Hawk's just got better.
Once you get the controls down, you're in for the greatest board meeting of your life.
The graphics, by the way, are brilliant. The textures are realistic, the framerate hauls, the characters look great and there's very little pop-up.
Tony Hawk 2 manages to take everything that made the first game so damn cool, and cranks it up to 11.
Dreamcast owners can enjoy what is easily the best version of the game to be released thus far.
Remodeled player models, higher resolution textures, even better lighting features all top the list of Dreamcast over PlayStation improvements.
This game is a must have for any skateboarder or skateboard fan, and if you are a person looking for a game that will hold your attention span longer than an infomercial about George Foreman's lean mean cooking machine, by all means head to your local game retailer and purchase a copy of this game.
The tricks are so easy to perform that even a person with little or not interest in the actual sport can have a great time. This is a title than is fun for virtually anyone.
Nose/tailslides, nose/bluntslides, varial flips, a multitude of new grabs, expanded inverts, lip tricks, manuals, and more realistic switch skating are all included.
Featuring improved graphics and tighter control, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is all but assured legendary status.
THPS2 takes the original game, pulls it into the garage, and puts the whole supercharger extras package on, and peels out to you. The skateboarding experience punches up 2-3 notches to a game that is definitely worthy of your attention.

YIELD: Makes 12 skewers
To make the marinade, combine the mirin, soy sauce, chicken broth, ginger, and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 minute. Pour the marinade into a shallow dish large enough to hold the meat and set aside to cool.
Cut the beef into 24 (1inch) squares about 1/2 inch thick. Add the beef to the cooled marinade, stir to evenly coat, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Cut the trimmed green onions into thirds. Soak 12 (4 to 6inch) bamboo skewers in water for at least 1 hour.
Preheat an outdoor grill.
Thread 2 pieces of beef and green onion, alternating, onto one end of each skewer. Grill the skewers until the meat is nicely browned and just a bit pink in the center, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the skewers to a plate or small platter and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Set the plate on a warming tray to keep warm, if you wish.
Cook's notes: Marinate the beef for up to 8 hours, refrigerated. It is best to skewer the meat and grill just before serving.

Product description
Winner of the BBC Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction 2011 Between 1958 and 1962, 45 million Chinese people were worked, starved or beaten to death. Mao Zedong threw his country into a frenzy with the Great Leap Forward, an attempt to catch up with and overtake the Western world in less than fifteen years. It lead to one of the greatest catastrophes the world has ever known. Dikotter's extraordinary research within Chinese archives brings together for the first time what happened in the corridors of power with the everyday experiences of ordinary people, giving voice to the dead and disenfranchised. This groundbreaking account definitively recasts the history of the People's Republic of China.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 13 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JJ928 The only one to purchase it is simple, easy to use. I have been looking for one for my girlfriend and found it. She just loves it. she said it is light, and does just what she wants it to do clearing our deck and walk. She is very Happy October 30, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by VillagePerson Light weight enough to use every day!! This is great!! I bought an extra battery so while I'm using one the other is charging. I rarely use more than one battery to do my upper deck and decking around the pool. Since it is light weight I do not dread the chore and keep leaves always off of the deck. October 31, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by BiscuitBaxter Not much oomph i use a leaf blower to clean my porches, and I didn't want to have to drag out the heavy extension cord. This is just perfect. It doesn't have a lot of oomph for jobs like cleaning up leaves in the yard in the Fall, but it's perfect for light clean up jobs, light weight, and doesn't vibrate much. September 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by masry99 Easy to handle and use blower real lite and easy to use and ready to charge fast, the extra second battery is the icing on the cake, thanks a whole bunch. April 19, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Richboy Holding blower before using Compared to my home lite gas blower, your cordless one has half the power of the home lite. It will suffice for smaller jobs, and I don't hae any trees in yard. Soi I jut blow gass clippings. The nice thing is it is just a switch to turn on. The lite weight is also a plus. Overall I am ok with it. July 14, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Luv2exercise Cordless Blower Review. I enjoy using my cordless blower but I wish it were more powerful. .. July 10, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Zorro Too little power for most jobs Underpowered, underpowered but lovely to look at. Is anyone looking at this? October 24, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by gardengal44 Not as advertised This product is just not as powerful as it's advertised!! . I didn't expect a hurricane but did look to have a respectable blower power. It is pretty anemic. Barely better than a broom or rake!! June 15, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Notahappycamper Definitely not worth the money... Product is smaller, less powerful and flimsier than anticipated. The battery does not hold a charge very long and the charger has a short in it. This puppy is going back! November 23, 2011

Good size room, free wifi, helpful staff, shopping complex close by
Expensive restaurant, location not the best.
Conveniently located by the subway station
Friendly, English speaking front desk
Great lobby and hotel facilities
You get what you paid for! The hotel lobby was so nice that I was very disappointed when I got to my room. The carpet was sticky and towels were stiff. The room was pretty run down and I felt like it was not the same vibe I got from the hotel lobby. However, for how much I paid, it was well worth the location.
+ Stayed in the 41st floor of the hotel... Amazing view.
+ A/C button on the control panel near the beds was also a heater! (Warm & toasty)
+ Was always greeted with a nicely made bed and replenished amenities. Drank roasted green tea every morning during my stay.
+ Convenient location! JR and subway lines are a short walk away from the airport!
+ Remember to check the drawers! I missed out on wearing a hotel yukata to sleep.
+ Shampoo, conditioner, and body soap, as well as other amenities included in the room.
+ Comfortable beds!
- I paid a price that was a little higher than advertised. However, the price is still good and I wouldn't mind staying here again!
The staff was amazingly kind and helpful. The room, view, and location were pretty great too.
Not a big deal, but a little bit hard to find the entrance to the hotel in the Namba Station.
Although the chapel on the 22nd floor was a little kitschy, the hotel was grand, clean, and had great views over the city.
It was difficult to find the entrance the first time. The is a subtle entrance where you take an elevator up to the main lobby on the 22nd floor.
The location is a big plus, subway station across the street with a mall and Starbuck, lots of dinning options and supermarket
The room was ridiculously small
The location was definitely the best thing: located by Temmbashi Station and the Keihan line, it was easy to get around Osaka and the Kansai area.
The room was a little small with very thin walls. I could hear my neighbor snoring at night (along with other, more disturbing, bed activities). The cleaning staff left rooms open while cleaning a floor and no provided room safe made it feel a bit unsafe.
1. Nice staff.
2. Next to a grocery store open 24 hours.
3. A shower upstairs.
4. A porch swing outside in the front
5. Clean
1. Broken elevator that stops randomly on every floor, takes forever to get to you.
2. The air conditioner was broken in my capsule.
3. No napkins or paper towels of any type within the hotel
4. Vending machines were out of water on the 7th and 2nd floors.
5. Bathrooms had older style toilets, no washlets
6. Staff charged me for shower soap pack without telling me there was soap, shampoos in the shower.

Woodland Holiday Snack Mix
One of my favorite holiday memories takes place in my childhood kitchen. Mom and I would throw on our aprons and bake all day. Pecan dreams, gingersnaps, cranberry bread and puppy chow. Grandma's fudge, spiced tea, and our favorite savory snack mix. We would bundle it all up and take plates, jars, and pretty tins to all of our neighbors and friends.

Tried tocilog for PhP145. Don't expect too much. Food is palatable but nothing special.
A bit small compared to Cebu counterpart. Nonetheless, great pitstop for backpackers.
Try dulce de leche gelato! Perfectly sweet. :)
Try the Ice cream with turon for dessert! Yum!
No aircon. Some new arrivals are already damaged.
