2nd Circuit, Cass Sunstein, New York Times, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Samantha Power, Supreme Court Clerks, Weddings
Good news for Legal Eagle Wedding Watchers: LEWW will be returning to a more frequent and timely posting schedule! Beginning next week, we'll once again feature our gold standard of three fabulous couples per week to ogle and dissect.
We'll bring you more hot August weddings tomorrow and Friday, but for now, it's time for our readers to vote on a Couple of the Month for July. Although their write-up wasn't in the NYT and therefore didn't run in our normal LEWW column, we're including celebrity professors Samantha Power and Cass Sunstein, whose union merited LEWW bonus coverage last month (as well as a shout-out in the Washington Post's Reliable Source column).
For more information on these newlyweds, click on the link below. When you're ready to vote, here's the poll:
1. Cecilia Silver and Jason Lichter
(Buy them a Wii.)
The Case:
– We'll begin with the bride and groom's educational credentials, where we observe a rare H-Y-P trifecta, with a little Oxford action on the side. Jason contributes the H and the Y (law school and undergrad, respectively), with Cecilia providing the P (undergrad; she also has a master's from Oxford). The only stinkweed in this bouquet of Ivy perfection is Ceclia's law degree, which is from lowly Georgetown.
– They're co-workers (at Weil, Gotshal & Manges). No details on their courtship, but we'd like to think they've been naughty in the copy room at least once.
The Case Against:
– Weil appears not to have a business-attire policy for firm photos, with the unfortunate result that too
many of their attorneys look like GAP associates. Cecilia, taking casual to new depths, seems to be sporting a t-shirt.
2. Sue-Yun Ahn and Charles Kitcher
(Buy them a grapefruit spoon.)
The Case:
– This two-lawyer combo met during law school at Columbia. Charles probably bleeds Columbia blue (which is an actual color): His parents are both philosophy professors there, and he graduated summa from the college. Sue-Yun did her undergrad at NYU, graduating magna.
– They had an Article III officiant: US District Judge Denise Cote, for whom Sue-Yun clerked.
– SCOTUS alert! After the Cote clerkship, Sue-Yun was a Tatel Tot, and when she gets back from her honeymoon she'll report for duty at the chambers of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
– Charles recently finished a clerkship with US District Judge Richard Owen. Later this month he'll start at Covington & Burling.
The Case Against:
– We generally have nothing against Columbia, but there's too much of it in this write-up. They even had their ceremony at the Columbia Club. If you must double down on a school, that school should be Harvard.
3. Katherine Wagner-McCoy and Jacob Goldstein
(Buy them a splatter screen.)
The Case:
– Both halves of this pairing were Harvard undergraduates, but they met in law school at Columbia. Jake also has a master's in classics from Oxford.
– Kate is a staff lawyer at the Bronx Defenders, a nonprofit providing free legal representation to people who probably belong behind bars. (Just kidding — soldier on, Bronx Defenders!). Jake's clerking for Judge Chester J. Straub of the Second Circuit.
– This photo is from the couple's website, not the NYT — which explains why Kate is showing a bit of skin. Nice abs, and we love this sneaky, underhanded way to earn an edge over the other legal-eagle competitors!
The Case Against:
– The groom is a stepson of the late Murray B. Levin, who was a member of the Communist Party and an "unreconstructed radical" who died believing that "[c]lass consciousness would be obtained ultimately when the masses finally revolted against the oligarchy." We wonder what Professor Levin would have thought of his stepson appearing in the haute-bourgeois wading pool that is the NYT weddings section.
4. Samantha Power and Cass Sunstein

and relationship earlier this year.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Police are searching for whoever stole an 800-pound wok from an Asian cuisine restaurant in Kansas.
Wichita Police Lt. James Espinoza says the wok was stolen Tuesday afternoon from the Bamboo Express Asian Cuisine restaurant. He says the large wok was placed outside when a replacement pan was installed in the kitchen.
Authorities say the wok "would have taken several people to move." No arrests have been reported.

Jacob Sullum put it well when he wrote, "Obama claims 'we cannot stand idly by when a tyrant tells his people that there will be no mercy.' Yes, we can, and we often do."
I'd only add this: Some of "our" best friends have been tyrants (sometimes called prime ministers and presidents) who treat "their" people without mercy or justice. Must I really name them?
Empire apologist Jeffrey Goldberg excuse this under the label "strategic hypocrisy." "We're all he adults," he says. In other words, those who demand principled consistency are immature.
Anyone who thinks that Obama's intervention in the Libyan civil war is motivated by humanitarianism is clearly unfamiliar with the history of U.S. foreign policy. Please do some reading. I modestly suggest that here's a good place to start. On Libya specifically see Pepe Escobar's analysis. There's plenty more at Antiwar.com.
Imagine that Abraham Lincoln were doing today what he did 150 years ago to prevent the South from breaking away from the Union. Would Obama (or another past president), as head of a hypothetical superpower, have intervened to stop him? Or would he have assisted Lincoln in his violence against the secessionists? It would have depended on the particular interests of the ruling elite.
Why do the media insist on calling what the U.S. government has done a "no-fly zone"? It was far more than that from day one, unless Qaddafi has figured out how to make tanks and soldiers fly.
The mildest thing you can say about the Libyan intervention is that it's unconstitutional. And the war powers act is a joke.
Republicans lie us into wars with the word "security." Democrats lie us into war with the word "humanitarian." That's the two-party system: a choice between two rationalizations for empire.
A NATO war is a U.S. war. NATO has always been an American tool. The Supreme Commander, Europe, is an American admiral. This is not a handoff. It's a smokescreen to serve Obama's political interests.
The Arab League is a bunch of autocratic nations led by Saudi Arabia, one of America's staunchest client states. The League's request for a Western-imposed no-fly zone in Libya means little. It is reasonable to suspect the request was part of a deal involving the Saudi intervention on behalf of the king of Bahrain, who is violently putting down a popular majority Shiite uprising. Besides, most Arab leaders despise Qaddafi. He has insulted them in the past. He's called some of them "women" because of their robes.
Pro-Obama commentators, the ones on MSNBC in particular, have disgracefully taken the easy way out. Instead of examining the issues involved in the intervention, they prefer to mock Republicans as flip-flopping hypocrites. Granted, they're flip-flopping hypocrites (with one exception). But what about the intervention?! Rachel Maddow's commentary was the most ridiculous. Obama is different from her predecessor, she said, because he was reluctant to intervene. How do we know? The White House keeps telling us, she said. Seriously! She also said that one of the best things Obama did was not to give solemn explanation to the American people from the Oval Office like all his predecessors did when they intervened in a foreign country. Really!
Do these people ever listen to themselves?
Why doesn't Obama bribe Qaddafi to move to Afghanistan and make him president?
Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki apparently has Obama's okay to violently put down popular protests against his regime. Democracy is in the eye of the beholder.
Why are the Chinese rulers willing to lend the U.S. government money to intervene in Libya (and all the other countries it's intervening in)? Please stop!
I have an idea for a constitutional amendment. Before the U.S. government gets involved in any foreign matter, the public must vote on the name. Operation Odyssey Dawn is ridiculous. Someone said it's the name of a stripper.

The world's largest GSM conference and expo attracted even more exhibitors and visitors than last year. The show received a staggering increase in attendance and that resulted in even more numbers of attendees visiting our booth.
View of Booth from Hall 2 Entrance at Mobile World Congress 2011
VNL's booth at #2B47, along with Shyam Telecom and Shyam Networks across the aisle at #2B33, were the largest and most visible in Hall 2. Taking up 234 sqm in total, VNL's booth showcased an actual Village Site deployment configuration in the VNL booth.
VNL's booth at Mobile World Congress 2011.
Solar and other alternative energy-based solutions were available all over the floor, from solar, wind, and hybrid systems to a variety of fuel-cells. It is clear that the telecom industry has taken up the mantle to deploy more green telecom solutions in the coming years and many of the operators we spoke with are ready to deploy new green powered technologies in the near future. VNL was busy completing a number of MOUs and orders from the meeting rooms in our booth at the show. These orders are the culmination of the many trial deployments we've deployed on three continents over the past year.
Rajiv Mehrotra speaks with Shri. Sachin Pilot, Hon. Minister of State for Communications & Information Technology, Govt. of India at Mobile World Congress 2011
The bottom line? In our opinion, Africa is at the forefront, with more mobile operators at the testing or deployment stage using non-traditional power sources for their mobile networks. Latin America is showing signs of increased use of green telecom, especially for intra-city coverage along highways. Asia, for VNL, has more deployments on the ground now, radiating and starting to connect the next billion. We were glad to be able to present our products to a seasoned crowd of operators already working in the same direction – connecting rural networks in a sustainable and affordable manner that serves the underserved across the world.
Rajiv Mehrotra discusses how mobile operators can become broadband service providers with minimal investment with Dr. J. S. Sarma, Chairperson, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India at Mobile World Congress 2011
Signage at the show covered VNL's unique Cascading Star Architecture and new Infrastructure Sharing concept to visitors to the booth.

VNL's pioneering work has been widely praised: in December, VNL won the Telecom Asia Readers Choice Award. In 2010, Fast Company named VNL one of the "Fast 50: The World's 50 Most Innovative Companies". In December, 2009, VNL was named as a Technology Pioneer 2010 by The World Economic Forum (www.weforum.org). In November, 2009, VNL was selected as a 2009 Top Pick and named as a company to watch in the wireless infrastructure market by Light Reading, a specialist telecoms analyst and publishing house. In September, 2009, it was named the third most innovative company – and the most innovative telecoms company – in the world in the Wall Street Journal's annual Technology Innovation Awards. VNL also won the "Best Technology Foresight" category at the 2008 World Communications Awards and came second in the "Green Network Hardware and Infrastructure" category at the 2009 CTIA Wireless E-Tech Awards.
Rajiv Mehrotra, Founder, Chairman & CEO of VNL, speaks with visitors to the booth.

Tampa, FL -- After decades of serving patients at the hospital, George Rodriguez found himself needing some help of his own.
"You got to help yourself before you can help anybody else," he said.
George has been managing multiple medical conditions throughout the years. He has received treatment for diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and back pain. He's also undergone several surgeries.
The 59-year-old's poor health conditions forced him into long-term disability, which motivated George to change his life.
With the support of his wife and some help from Cigna healthcare, George used exercise to jumpstart his weight loss.
"Our counselors help to give people anything they need. If it's equipment, counseling sessions, just talk with them about their goals," said Ryan Bruce, Cigna Health.
So far, George has lost 40 lbs. and he's conquering life-long goals that he never thought he could achieve.
"I don't think I've ever walked two miles let alone five miles all in one shot. But this here I show it to everybody. This is my medal. After all of these years, I'm 59 years old and now I come and get a medal," said George.
The proud runner finished his first 5-mile race, one of several "to-do's" on George's bucket list.
"Oh, man, when me and Mark crossed that finish line we were just jumping for joy," said George.
As he continues to pace himself for the marathon of life that lies ahead, George said his journey is far from complete, but admits that he's taking steps in the right direction.

Dr. Jonathan Middleton is Professor of Theory and Composition at Eastern Washington University. He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in composition, theory, orchestration, and music informatics.
Dr. Middleton obtained his Doctor of Musical Arts in 1999 from Columbia University where he was an Andrew W. Mellon Fellow at the School of the Arts. He has studied composition with numerous professors including Fred Lerdahl, Jonathan Kramer, Emma Lou Diemer, William K raft, Frederic Rzewski, Ann Kearns, Daniel Warner, Peter Golub and Pulitzer Prize winners Roger Reynolds and Lewis Spratlan. He also studied twentieth century compositional techniques with Kyle Gann and Tristan Murail.
Dr. Middleton's creative interests include spontaneous approaches to composition through stream of consciousness and algorithmic composition. The foundation of his work is created from the"musicalgorithms"software he designed in 2004. The application (available on the Web at http://musicalgorithms.ewu.edu/ and musicalgorithms.org) provides a creative environment where composers can create music from DNA and numbers. As a mid-career composer, he has created many pieces, from orchestral to electronic. In recent years he has received numerous commissions with performances and recordings from the Czech Philharmonic, Kiev Philharmonic, Millennium Symphony, Spokane Symphony, Coeur d'Alene Symphony, Paradox, MoPho, and Music Northwest. His music is featured on the cd's Soak, ERM Masterworks of the New Era vols. 11 and 17, and ERM Music of the Americas. In 2008, he published an article in the journal "Leonardo" (41/2 2008), which describes his creative process with"musicalgorithms" (the article is co-authored with professor Diane Dowd from Mathematics).
In addition to teaching, Dr. Middleton has served as a visiting scholar and composer at Stanford University's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). There he completed a new work for mobile phones with performances at Stanford, Belfast, Helsinki, Monterey and Berkeley.

Is that it's unattainable. Our craft — if we choose to do it for as long as we live — stays with us and dies with us.
I used to believe that mastery was a finish line. It's not. One may know that they're a pro at something based off the feedback from the world, but one will never truly know if they reached their pinnacle. And that's because I don't think there is one.
Mastery is a devotion to what ignites our heart and soul, a ruthless pursuit of giving our life the meaning we desire. "This is the real secret: the brain we possess is the work of six million years of development, and more than anything else, this evolution of the brain was designed to lead us to mastery, the latent power within us all." — Robert Greene, Mastery.
Proof? Watch Jiro Dreams of Sushi.
Jiro is an 85-year-old master sushi chef, owner of Sukiyabashi Jiro, famed for having three Michelin Stars — meaning that if you flew to Japan and only ate at his restaurant, it would be worth the trip. His sanctuary is in a Tokyo subway station. The appearance is so simple and descrete that one would never imagine the kind master that resides in there, the kind of work he is capable of doing.
I don't believe that he is consider a master because he charges $300 a plate or because the meal takes 20 minutes to finish or the fact that you need many months in advance to reserve a seat.
It is his technique, his outlook on his craft, and his ability to see what other sushi chefs cannot. For example, he notices if his hosts are right- or left-handed, and when serving the sushi he places it closest to their dominant hand, making the experience as effortless and joyous as possible. He even crafts the sushi a certain size so that both the male and female finish around the same time.
But more important, it's what he said in the interview that made me realize even a master of a craft never settles and never chooses to be comfortable:
Even at my age, in my line work of… I haven't reached perfect.
I'll continue to climb, trying to reach the top… but no one knows where the top is!
You have to love your job. You must fall in love with your work. — Jiro
It's not just sushi that is impossible to perfect. The choices that we make daily are skills too — muscles that grow or wither depending on how often we exercise it. Being kind to yourself and others is a skill. So is being brave or honest or humble.
What this means for us
For as much as I know, Jiro is a mortal, like you and I.
What separates masters of a craft from others is relentless determination, a lifelong commitment, countless failures, and the ability to criticize their own work. It's not that they're unsatisfied (I'm sure they are), but they always strive for better. Why? Because it is a possibility. I love that mindset.
Can we really stick to one thing and do it for the rest of our lives? I believe so.
I believe that mastery—over ourselves and our craft—fulfills our innate desire to matter, to be appreciated, and to be missed.
Art isn't a result; it's a journey. The challenge of our time is to find a journey worthy of your heart and your soul. — Seth Godin, The Icarus Deception

An autistic 23-year-old man, Paul Corby, has been denied a heart transplant by the hospital at the University of Pennsylvania. In 2008, Corby's family learned that he has a left ventricle that did not close after he was born, so that his heart does not pump the right amount of blood. A cardiologist said he would need a transplant in 2011.
Paul's mother, Karen Corby, received a letter in June 2011 from Penn cardiologist Susan Brozena recommending that he not receive the transplant "given his psychiatric issues, autism, the complexity of the process, multiple procedures and the unknown and unpredictable effect of steroids on behavior."
Paul's official diagnosis is Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS). As his mother tells the Philadelphia Inquirer:
… [Paul] is high functioning and spends his days playing video games and writing the sequel to his pre-teen, self-published novel, Isaac the Runner. He carried his ever-present Princess Peach doll with him to his transplant evaluation. He takes medicine for an unspecified mood disorder, his mother said. He has shouted loudly enough that police have been called "three or four times" to the family's home.
Paul currently takes 19 medications, most for his heart condition, and has anxiety; though he has not been diagnosed with a specific mood disorder, he takes a mood stabilizer. Following the Penn hospital's rejection of his transplant request, Paul has been "more depressed and upset," says the Philadelphia Inquirer. He also notes that he feels "desperate" for treatment and that neither surgery nor long, and potentially repeated, stays in the hospital scare him: "I don't care how long I'm in there. I just want my life to be saved. That's all," he says.
Debate About Medical Ethics
Paul's case has sparked a debate about medical ethics. Dr. Daniel Coury, Autism Speaks' Medical Director for the Autism Treatment Network, tells ABC News that "It seems that they have looked at this person as a label rather than the unique qualities that this person has."
Dr. David Cronin, an associate professor of transplant surgery at the Medical College of Wisconsin, emphasizes that, while not knowing all the specifics of the case:
"I have never since 1995 seen that decision made in a cavalier fashion. These decisions are not made in isolation. They're not made easily … We know the outcome is if someone is denied a transplant."
Decisions about organ transplants are "one of the few areas of modern medicine with overt and unavoidable rationing," says the Philadelphia Inquirer. 331 people waiting for heart transplants died last year; ABC News says that "denials come because organs are a scarce resource, with three to four times as many people who need transplants as there are organs available."
Penn health system spokeswoman Susan Phillips notes that 38 percent of patients who had been evaluated for heart transplants during the last two years had been denied, "mostly because of other medical conditions that would affect their survival or quality of life after a transplant."
Medical Care For Individuals With Disabilities
I first read about Paul Corby being denied a heart transplant in a post last week on Babble.com by Joslyn Gray, who has two sons with Asperger's Syndrome. My teenage son Charlie is on the moderate to severe end of the autism spectrum. After he banged his face through a car window, an ER doctor refused to give Charlie stitches on the front of his face, on the grounds that he would rip the stitches out. We were appalled to hear this.
On another occasion, Charlie needed staples in the back of his head and pulled them out (fortunately, after his wound had healed sufficiently).
A huge outcry was raised earlier this year when the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) denied a kidney transplant to a 2-year-old Amelia, who has Wolf-Hirschorn Syndrome (a genetic condition occurring in 1 in 50,000 individuals), a kidney transplant. With more and awareness for individuals with disabilities, the ethical issues raised in Amelia's and Paul's cases are sure to arise again.

There is an important bit or three of information missing here.
My understanding is that there is a tendency with people in the autisma spectrum that they are often hyper- or hypo- responsive to medicines like steroids, anti-depressants and the like.
If that is the reasoning for this decision, then it seems mighty shallow. Temple Grandin spoke to this issue in her book "Thinking In Pictures, Expanded Edition: My Life With Autism".
Sad article..
are we to believe he is a second class citizen in a country that prides itself on the equality of all, and equal opportunities, this is just MORALLY WRONG.
are we to believe he is a second class citizen in a country that prides itself on the equality of all, and equal opportunities, this is just MORALLY WRONG.
Things are routinely denied and they have nothing to do with the Affordable Health Care Act. Doctors are rationed. If you live in a rural area you have to travel to get to care and it may be too far and too late.
People don't sign up for donation and organs are rationed. No insurance? All medical care is rationed.
This is an awful thing and they'd better be able to explain themselves clearly regarding the decision.
Cheney, an evil old man with no heart but plenty of money and power manages to get a heart, but a young man with his whole life ahead of him (or it should be!) cannot--God help America if this is our criteria for such a choice!
Good article. Thanks for sharing.
The current medical industry is not going to allow us to grow organs or advance technology that would save lives. This is the primary reason for the twisted and overcharged intellectual property rights laws we are living with, to suppress new ideas and direct people to the profit making status quo. Big pharma, insurance and providers are making too much money keeping us sick.
On an ironic note when the man in the article dies his organs will likely be harvested for those who can pay.
I think we are all overlooking the fact that in the next few years, certainly within the next Decade, we will be able to grow these organs, thus eliminating the need for donors.
Those of you who have followed my commenting career will know of my appreciation of vat-grown meat. Through this technology, we can grow human tissue, which can then be used in medicine.
Let us hope then, that with organs to spare, we are able to be a little less careful with them... :)
Maybe there should be an age limit? How did Cheney get a heart transplant so fast if theres a waiting list? Why would an old man get a heart transplant when his life is pretty close to over, yet there are young people needing them and not getting them? Not enough donors, or not enough money???

Sebastian Mariscal Mixes Design with Business and Social Responsibility
Photo: © Hisao Suzuki
Sebastian Mariscal found his professors not in the halls of academe, but in the offices of practicing architects. Starting when he was 14, he spent afternoons and evenings after school working for his father, Raul Octavio Mariscal, a public-housing architect in Mexico City. "It was a very intense education," Mariscal says, "and it influenced my perspective that architecture has a social responsibility." Eschewing a formal architectural education, four years into his apprenticeship with his father, he opened his own design firm. He remodeled some interiors, then designed buildings in Mexico ranging from houses to a television studio.
He closed his Mexico City firm in 1995 to work for architect Tonet Sunyer in Barcelona, then moved to San Diego to join Jonathan Segal, FAIA, and learn about Segal's business combining architecture and real estate development. In 2000, Mariscal went out on his own again with State+Date, a two-family residence he built with an investor partner. By designing and managing the project efficiently—confining all plumbing to one wall, for example, and ordering all precut parts—he minimized on-site labor. And by deftly organizing his construction crew, he finished the building in four months. Today, his firm handles architectural commissions and his own development projects; another arm of the business does general contracting.
Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
While Mariscal owes an obvious debt to Segal, he also borrows from his two other mentors. Calling his previous employment stints "ingredients" in his technique, Mariscal notes, "The more we can add to our design process, the less subjective architecture can be and the more transcendental the building can become for the user and the city." Like his father, Mariscal focuses on residential buildings, mostly located on challenging urban sites. "I don't believe in suburbia," he says. "I believe in eliminating the use of cars and increasing the intensity of the city experience." The lower market value of difficult sites "also cuts my purchase price, while posing the challenge of making a good piece of architecture."
Mariscal designed the two-family building On Grape on just such a site, devising a pair of units each measuring 36-by-68 feet. To buffer occupants from the busy street corner, he developed a ventilated facade made of engineered stone and Cor-Ten steel clipped to the buildings wood framing, creating a heat- and noise-protecting pocket of air. Then he connected the units' front and rear volumes with bridges traversing an internal, bamboo-filled courtyard. In addition to offering a glimpse of nature in downtown San Diego, the plan obliges residents to end their day with a pleasant ritual: crossing the bridge and retiring to the bedroom.
On Grape also underscores Mariscal's interest in merging indoors and out, which he picked up from Sunyer and finds well suited to the temperate climate of both Mediterranean Spain and Southern California. At 2inns, Mariscal surrounded the main living area with a perimeter of glass doors that can fold away, exposing guests to the elements and views of the Pacific Ocean. And for the Tercio Winery in Mexico's Baja peninsula, he created just a shell that remains open on one side. Moving back and forth between the U.S. and Mexico, between designing and building, Mariscal remains open, tooto ideas from different places and disciplines.

Posted by: Arunachalam Sam, Group IT/IS Manager, Mulitex Group
Every day I see stories on the benefits the cloud brings to businesses. From improved flexibility and scalability to resource savings, the cloud's business value is clear. Yet, all that promise is irrelevant if a cloud provider's promises aren't backed up with a commitment to security and privacy and an adherence to internationally recognized standards.
Fortunately for my company, Mulitex Group, we found the security and privacy commitment we needed in Microsoft Office 365 and are now reaping the benefits.
We are headquartered in Hong Kong, with offices in the U.S., South America, Bangladesh, Vietnam and India. Focused on garment manufacturing, trading and real estate investment, Mulitex manages assets worth over US$700 million.
With our company facing rapid growth we needed a cloud solution that could help our workers access data securely from a variety of devices in multiple locations. In Office 365 we found a scalable solution that could be quickly deployed. We also found a solution that reduced start up and maintenance costs while adhering to strict privacy and security standards.
Thanks to Office 365, we've been able to save valuable time on security maintenance and refocus on our core business objectives. As a result, we now spend 40% less time managing security than we did before Office 365.
In our business this extra time and freeing up of resources is invaluable. As a result our staff has rededicated themselves to driving business growth. It's going well so far! Very soon we plan to open new factories in China, India and Bangladesh, and eventually fully migrate to the cloud with Windows Azure.
I said it when I met Trustworthy Computing's Adrienne Hall in Hong Kong and I'll state it again here: Our trust with Microsoft's security in the cloud is akin to money deposited in our bank.

Green Bean, Corn, and Coconut Stir-Fry (Thoren)
- 3/4 cup grated dried unsweetened coconut
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 small fresh green chile, such as serrano, Thai, or jalapeño, slit lengthwise with stem end intact
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1/4 cup water
- Salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
- 1/8 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
- 15 to 20 fresh curry leaves (optional)
- 1 pound green beans, thinly sliced crosswise (1/4 inch)
- 3 ears corn, kernels cut from cobs
Stir together coconut, cumin, coriander, cayenne, turmeric, chile, garlic, 1/4 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
Heat oil in a wok or 12-inch heavy skillet (not nonstick) over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then cook mustard seeds and red pepper flakes until mustard seeds begin to pop and/or turn gray. Add curry leaves (if using), covering skillet immediately as they crackle for a few seconds.
Add green beans and corn and stir-fry 8 minutes. Add coconut mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. If mixture becomes dry and begins to stick to bottom of wok, add a few tablespoons water. Season with salt.
Cooks' Notes:
Indian ingredients can be mail-ordered from Kalustyans.com.
Chile can be removed during cooking when the thoren is spicy enough for your taste.

Archive for the 'Jack Johnson' tag
Hall of Famers from the East
The Eastern Motorsport Press Association has been around for more than 40 years and takes its work seriously. That includes picking inductees for its richly populated Hall of Fame. The latest luminaries to be enshrined at EMPA's convention in early January were announced late Sunday.
Among drivers, the two chosen by EMPA's membership are both New Yorkers: Duanesburg's eternal dirt star Jack Johnson, and the Sanborn, New York, dairy farmer named Merv Treicher, an uncommonly adaptable racer who won on both dirt and pavement as short-track stock cars became increasingly specialized. Two journalists were recognized: the late Jim Hunter, a South Carolina sports editor turned longtime NASCAR spokesman; and Frank Blunk, a famed writer for The New York Times, for whom EMPA's top writing award is named. From the officialdom side, the membership picked Jack Arute Sr., founder of Stafford Motor Speedway in Connecticut; and Bill Singer, the deliciously voiced announcer at Flemington Fair Speedway in New Jersey during its heyday.
Among others being recognized by EMPA are NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart, who will receive the Al Holbert Memorial National Driver of the Year award. Pennsylvania native Rick Eckert, the 2011 World of Outlaws Late Model champion, is winner of the EMPA/Richie Evans Memorial Northeast Driver of the Year Award. IZOD IndyCar chief Randy Bernard was picked as the T. Wayne Robertson Newsmaker of the year. Find out more at EMPAOnline.org.
New York stories
Smoke rolls off the slicks of a front-engine dragster pictured at the defunct South Glens Falls Dragway, circa 1960.
Remember about 25 years ago, when NASCAR was seriously angling to have a Winston Cup event through Central Park? It didn't happen, but New York nevertheless has an abundant heritage in motorsport, with even its dearly departed speed venues being seriously rich. You can find out this Saturday, November 29, by visiting the Saratoga Automobile Museum and taking in Lost Speedways IV, the latest outing in its popular annual discussion program on Empire State speed heritage.
It's not just oval stuff, either – the image you see depicts an ancient dragster with weed-burners launching, probably circa 1960, at the old South Glens Falls Dragway near Lake George, which used to host big-time straight-line action. Display items come from the collections of driving legends "Jumpin' " Jack Johnson, the late Pete Corey, and the immortal Rene "The Champ" Charland, who was actually from Agawam, Massachusetts but was long a dominant New York driver, and actually raced (very briefly) under the pseudonym Nutsy Fagan.
In that New York City state of mind, the presentations will also cover New York City venues that actually did race, including the Polo Grounds in Manhattan, the Mets' home before Shea Stadium was built, and Kingsbridge Armory in the Bronx. The presentations get under way at 1 p.m.
For more information, call the museum at 518-587-1935, or visit www.saratogaautomuseum.org.

Put passion into your productions with these evocative strings.
As suggested by the name, Vienna Instruments II Appassionata Strings software ensembles are quite simply—passionate. The lush, broad, and emotive cinematic sound of Appassionata will defy your expectations of how a virtual instrument should sound and perform. They integrate perfectly well into a variety of musical styles, from pop and rock environments to symphonic arrangements, from emotional ballads to films, from pure string beds to complete orchestral scores.
The Appassionata Strings offer various facets of sustains and legato performances with different intensities of vibrato as their main focus, but also include articulations such as sul-G-Performances, accented interval notes, spiccatos, staccatos, various repetition performances, trills, runs, and much more. They also include Vienna's innovative out-of-tune-samples where various players of the ensemble carefully correct their intonation as the tone progresses. Mirroring what actually happens in live orchestral performances, this is a very effective technique for creating heightened realism and expression. The Appassionata Strings' bass section of 10 instruments consists of 6 five-string and 4 four-string basses, giving the low end a deep and rich flavor.
Please note: Vienna Instruments require the ViennaKey. The ViennaKey is necessary to run any Vienna instrument. This USB protection device by Syncrosoft is not included in the box of any collection, it is a separate item you have to purchase additionally.

Rigor Mortis is a band who if they didn't open for Vio-lence I would have probably never heard of. I saw them on my concert ticket opening the show and I went out and bought their album just to see if they were worth checking out. I was obsessed with this album for 2 weeks straight. Loved the whole thing. Couldn't wait to see them live and made sure I was standing in front of the guitarist because I had to see with my own eyes if he could actually play that fast. I literally couldn't believe my eyes. One of my favorite opening acts ever and the fact I got to party with them after their set and before Vio-lence made this show one of my favorites of all time.
I didn't find out that was the same guitarist in Ministry until I actually saw them live and recognized him. I didn't know the other dude is in GWAR until GarageMetal posted it in his link. I always wondered what happened to these guys and cool to see some recent clips of them playing popping up. I added a 2nd clip I found which is really cool.
#37 - Rigor Mortis - Demons
This is a live clip from a DVD called The Birth of Dallas/Fort Worth Underground Metal with Phil singing with Rigor Mortis. Has anyone seen this dvd? I'm sure I'd love it.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The forced breakup of Lehman Bros. or even its liquidation became a possible scenario over the weekend as talks dragged on unsuccessfully Saturday between top U.S. financial officials and executives at major Wall Street firms trying to forestall the collapse of the investment firm and to keep weakness among financials from spreading.
According to a report in the online edition of the Wall Street Journal citing people familiar with the matter, the outlines of a rescue plan emerged, but at the same time talks revealed that a sale of the entire firm LEH to a big bank could probably not be managed.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Treasury officials and banking executives have been meeting since Friday evening in the hopes of engineering a plan for a private-sector rescue for the once-venerable investment firm before Asian markets open for trading Monday.
Shortly before 7 p.m. Eastern on Saturday, media outlets reported that no deal had been reached over Lehman's fate but that negotiations would likely continue between the Fed and bank executives on Sunday.
As expectations of a deal swung to doubt, the Journal reported, plans emerged for firms to either buy pieces of Lehman or for an orderly winding down of the firm.
The Journal said that under one scenario, Barclays PLC BCS, -0.63% or Bank of America Corp. BAC, -1.08% would buy Lehman's valuable assets, such as its equities business, while the more risky real-estate assets would be merged into a another entity that would contain about $85 billion in souring assets.
Other Wall Street firms would try to inject some capital into that "bad bank" so that a flood of bad assets doesn't deluge the market, damaging the value of similar assets held by other banks and insurers, according to the report. The banks are also looking for the government to somehow support the bad bank.
An earlier story in the Journal reported that Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson has made it clear to participants in the talks, called Friday by the New York Federal Reserve, that no government bailout for Lehman should be expected.
The Journal reported that while teams of bankers are working on the plans, it appears few banks are in a position to provide enough funding. Many banks are inclined to preserve capital ahead of third-quarter and year-end cash preservation moves. Also, the report noted, banks don't want to see rivals such as Barclays or Bank of America pay so little for the valuable assets.
Citing people familiar with the matter, the Journal said Bank of America, until today considered Lehman's most likely savior, seems to be less interested in a deal. Neither Barclays nor Bank of America wants to buy all of Lehman without some government assistance, the Journal said.
In addition to Paulson, New York Fed President Timothy Geithner and Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox were present at the weekend talks. According to media reports, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is involved in the deliberations, but did not attend Friday night's meeting.
The Wall Street executives attending included Morgan Stanley MS, -0.82% Chief Executive John Mack, Merrill Lynch MER, +0.00% Chief Executive John Thain, J.P. Morgan Chase JPM, -0.32% CEO Jamie Dimon, Goldman Sachs Group GS, -1.04% CEO Lloyd Blankfein, Citigroup Inc. C, -0.52% head Vikram Pandit and representatives from the Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC RBS, -0.10% and Bank of New York Mellon Corp., as well as others, according to the Journal.
As hopes fade for a sale, a second group of bankers reportedly is weighing the alternative of liquidating the firm's business, according to reports.
The Journal reported many Wall Street traders met Saturday to weigh their options if Lehman is forced into liquidation. One unnamed trader said conditions in the credit default swap market and the short-term repo markets are more stable today than they were in March, when Bear Stearns nearly collapsed, but said that if Lehman is forced to liquidate, Monday could be a grim day for financial markets.
Global concerns intensify
Global fears intensified over the weekend that the possible collapse of the country's fourth-largest investment bank would hurt markets and damage confidence.

The Freedom to Be 70% Businesswoman & 30% Gypsy.
You know those moments when you're sitting in the exact place you're supposed to be at the exact time?
I had one of those moments tonight.
Normally, when I have that right place, right time, serendipitous feeling, it has to do with a guy, some stars and some crazy romantic story.
Tonight was different; it was about business. Not so sexy at first glance, but when you put a bunch of people in a room who are super passionate about making the world of business a better place—sure, in some way you can say that's sexy.
Tonight I attended a discussion about Conscious Capitalism in San Francisco with Jeff Klein, author of Working for Good and Doug Rauch, the former CEO of Trader Joes. I was sitting in this room listening to these guys talk and found myself nodding my head in perfect synergy with mostly everything they were saying. It was one of those nights where every conversation was compelling, informative, yet familiar and reinforcing of ideas that I have had many for years. A room full of conscious, amazing business people who collectively participated in a form of guided meditation before they started engaging in conversation.
I'm home, I thought to myself. Yet, it took me a while to get here.
Before I get into the rest of my story, I want to briefly explain what we're talking about when we use the word "consciousness" as it relates to business.
"To be conscious means to be awake, mindful… A conscious business fosters peace and happiness in the individual, respect and solidarity in the community, and mission accomplishment in the organization."
~ Fred Kofman, from Conscious Business
Conscious Capitalism recognizes that capitalism is an amazing means for exchanging energy. However, we have to ensure that this exchange is done in a meaningful sustainable way, and that yes, this is possible. I would recommend checking out the book Conscious Capitalism, but the long story short of it, as translated by yours truly: be kind, innovative, creative, sustainable, create trust and opportunities where everyone (and everything, i.e., the environment) is positively impacted.
Simple enough, right?
For years I could never find a way to marry these concepts: business and consciousness. Like many of us, I had my businesswoman, Ann Taylor Loft-wearing, Lexus-driving, somewhat materialistic side. Then I had my conscious, yoga, hippie, gypsy side, who was afraid that making money would derail my path to enlightenment. These two sides of myself spoke different languages, wore different 'uniforms,' played different parts, and were completely unaligned.
During my many years of working in the corporate world, I often wondered why there was a lack of consciousness in business. Why is everyone so fake and competitive? Why is it okay to use "it's business" as an excuse to throw all compassion, empathy, kindness (and sometimes ethics) out the window?
Colleagues would often say, "I'm only like this at work. I am actually a really cool, funny, nice person outside of work."
Really? Well, then just be a nice person right now. I dare you.
I actually once had someone say they were working on being more of an asshole as part of their leadership development strategy (true story). Good luck with that.
As a former communications manager, I knew how to speak "corporate," but would sometimes use words like "holistic" and "empowerment" in the development strategies I was creating—a clear no-no in business. I wasn't surprised when responses to those words would often sound something like this: "Stop saying the word 'holistic' if you want to work in corporate America; it scares people."
All of these instances in the corporate world eventually made me want to have nothing to do with it and I eventually became a full fledged "hippie/gypsy" who lived in a garage and decided I didn't want to own any material possessions because capitalism was bad. But then, after my last stick of Nag Champa burned out, I realized that sitting in a room, in a garage in a beach town in Southern California wasn't proving anything, and the entrepreneur spirit in me was begging me to get back out there.
So, I packed up my garage and began the co-creation of a company where we do things a little differently.
A year later, I have a growing brand and event management company that is committed to integrating purpose and meaning into everything we do. We ensure that every project we take on positively impacts the health, happiness, well-being and prosperity of all involved. I no longer have to play the part of an unaligned competitive businesswoman/part-time hippie. I can just be me: 70 percent businesswoman, 30 percent gypsy.
So, yes, tonight was one of those nights where the stars aligned, the messaging was clear and my thoughts of a business world where people were kind to each other didn't seem like an impossibility. It was a night where I could talk about the beauty of collaboration, purpose and meaning in business, and people didn't look at me like I was crazy.
No, the world won't change tomorrow, but it's nights like these that really make you believe it is possible.

Your speaking my mind-heart-spirit lingo Traci! Adding vibrations of 'holistic' change to our World, and I like! Excelent read. ~~~~~ Kristen Beau
Hi Kristen! Thanks for the love! xx T
Perfect timing for me to read this,Traci. I've spent most of my life being productive in business for everyone but myself. Finally, I've jumped into the deep end and have started a blog to support people like me who are living with chronic health issues as I am, and still have much to contribute within the framework of collaboration, cooperation and love, universal love. Thank you for this…
Hi Sussi! Thanks for taking the time to say hello and reach out. Here's to collaboration, cooperation and love. It's working for us, which is an amazing sign for the world. Looking forward to keeping in touch!
thank you for this great read Traci . . . how we do anything is how we do everything <3
Lindsay. You are most welcome… and amen to what you said. xx
Since you feel to be more adept and experienced as gypsydom, than I, I'm curious if there are 12 steps, or 2, for our kind. I left Corp.KillingMySoul.Ville back in 2005 and it was the most liberating risk I'd taken in my life. I am of the nomadic flavour and already I feel urges to move, extract myself from one realm and experience a new one, every three to six months.
Re: "During my many years of working in the corporate world, I often wondered why there was a lack of consciousness in business." After my trial separation became a permanent divorce, what I found from a new vantage point outside the structured cube life was that it isn't really the people within that directly lacked consciousness as much as they were responding, generally in compliance, with a larger level – the very 'spirit' of the organization. This Corp.BEing is *not* human, though it has humans as cellular constituents. Within that particular (dimensional) dynamic, entrainment is nearly universal (to the detriment, of most – within & without).
Warm appreciation for your shared reflections!
Hi Jim, I hear you on all of that. I am in the process of writing more about my gypsy tendencies (and tips to go along with it) and will be sure to share when it's ready. In the meantime, here's one of my old posts on "How to be comfortable, being comfortable." http://goingwiththeflowblog.com/2011/08/03/my-fav…. I will have you know that I just got back from traveling around the west coast for three weeks so I am working on staying put a little put for a bit. It's a challenge.
With regards to your divorce from Corp.KillingMySoul.Ville (haha) … there are more and more companies that are building a "conscious culture" within their organizations. Yes, it is a small minority, but it is happening. This culture is more 'human' than the corporations of the past and does recognize the spirit in others thus taking on a life of it's own with meaning and purpose. People may say I'm crazy for being so optimistic, but my world works better that way and the people that I surround myself with are working towards changing corporate America (and the global economy) and providing new insights and implementable change.
We have A LOT of work to do, but the more people that demand more from their life (travel, happiness, health, purpose, meaning, an outlet to share their gifts with the world, LIVING!) things will change. Leaders, the good ones, are conscious of their responsibility in this shift towards creating environments (where most of us spend our days) that provide opportunities for their employees to have all of these things. And if they do, everyone wins … and the money follows. This isn't rocket science. We just have to demand more from ourselves, each other, the leaders of the world, and be optimistic for change (oh, and be kind to each other in the process).
Some cool books if you're interested:
Marketing 3.0 (Marketing to the Human Spirit, not the subconscious or ego)
Winning the Story Wars – Jonam Sachs
It's Just Good Business – By Jeff Klein (Super easy read, lots of cool quotes and stats)
Conscious Capitalism (Outlines the 4 fundamental values of a Conscious business)
We: How to Increase Performance and Profits Through Full Engagement
All the best, my fellow gypsy!
