The Immorality of Government Pension Obligations
I know that pensions are out of the news right now and that defund is the defining issue of the moment. However, I think it is appropriate to revisit these issues from time to time. Let's consider somebody (Bill) moving from New York State to Illinois. The best estimate of New York's unfunded pension obligations that I can find per capita is $814 while Illinois | Read More »

Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics
The laboratories affiliated with the "Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics" area of the BSB theme use a wide array of experimental approaches to answer important questions in diverse biological systems. To fully understand a biological system, one must define the system using detailed, quantitative approaches.This principal unifies the faculty associated with this research area. Whether investigating DNA repair and recombination in prokaryotic systems or disease progression in human systems, it is critical that the process be described in molecular detail.
We value the critical role that students play in academic research. Our goal is to providing our students with:
- Effective mentoring in experimental and academic pursuits
- World class facilities and equipment for the advancement of their research projects
- Collegial and cohesive working environment, fostering growth and scientific maturation
No one is born an expert in biochemistry. If you are curious and committed to a career in research, we are committed to providing the best possible training to help you reach your goals.

Featured Golf News
Odd Bird Accompanies Golfers in Washington
An unlikely visitor stopped by Oaksridge Golf Course in Elma, Wash., a rural town west of Olympia. An emu, a flightless bird native to Australia, became an interested observer of Sue McMeekin of Satsop and Les Bell of Montesano, Wash.
The bird, second in height only to an ostrich, can grow to more than 6 feet tall and weigh up to 100 pounds. It's capable of running as fast as 30 mph for short distances.
McMeekin and Bell were escorted by the bird for seven of their nine holes. It watched each swing and sometimes walked between them or stood directly in front of them. The emu seemed to take particular interest in McMeekin's red fleece jacket.
"It was strange," McMeekin said. "She's awful big and she made me nervous."
After hanging around the pro shop, the emu started following McMeekin and Bell while course employee Jeremy Behm called the Grays Harbor County Sheriff's Department. A deputy was dispatched but could not immediately determine the bird's owner. Soon, however, the emu's owner left his home near the course and picked retrieved it, Behm said.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) --
There will be no discussion of how to fill the enormous budget deficit that is delaying payments to hospitals and pharmacies. No early start on next year's budget. No work on a huge public works program that would create jobs during the economic downturn.
"Until we get this taken care of, it is very, very difficult to think that we're going to concentrate on revenue, spending, programs and all of that," said Republican state Sen. Dan Rutherford.
Then, there are the problems created by the governor's legal difficulties.
After Blagojevich was arrested Dec. 9 on corruption charges that included scheming to sell President-elect Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat, the state's bond rating fell, costing it an extra $21 million in interest on a loan to pay overdue bills.
But the trial, scheduled to get under way Jan. 26 and finish by Feb. 4, could bring quick progress to Springfield.
Blagojevich's removal would instantly raise the possibility of new agreements at the Statehouse, where he and legislators have bickered more than governed for the last couple years.
"I believe if Lt. Gov. (Patrick) Quinn would take over, he knows that he's going to have to sit down and work together with the other leaders," said state Rep. Robert Rita, a Democrat.
Quinn said if that happens, he'll move "rather swiftly" to strike a deal with legislative leaders to fix the state's problems.
But in the meantime, the drama surrounding Blagojevich stymies progress and the financial toll mounts.
The state is $3.6 billion behind paying its bills to hospitals, pharmacies and other service providers, forcing some businesses to close their doors or turn away Medicaid clients. The state's unemployment rate climbed to 7.3 percent in November, meaning more people may need government aid to buy food and get health care.
And the overall budget for the fiscal year that ends June 30 has a hole of $2.5 billion or more.
Already, Blagojevich has closed seven state parks and 12 historic sites, and more cuts may be needed to close the deficit and get ready for next year's equally tight budget.
Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias said the state will earn only $130 million in interest on its investments in this fiscal year, compared to $376 million last year. That could shrink to $86 million, or perhaps even lower, in the upcoming year.
What's more, state government problems quickly translate into local problems.
The Chicago area's Regional Transportation Authority plans to borrow $200 million to keep operating, partly because it's waiting for overdue money from the state.
"This is really a severe economic crisis we have to dig into right away," said Senate President John Cullerton, who hasn't ruled out a tax increase. "We've got incredible challenges."
The Chicago Democrat said one of his top priorities is passing a statewide construction program to repair crumbling roads, bridges and schools. Such a plan has been discussed for years but state officials could never agree on funding or overcome suspicions that Blagojevich would use the money to reward friends and punish enemies if he was in charge of doling it out.
The issue is more important than ever now that the federal government is discussing a large economic stimulus package. Governors around the country are compiling lists of projects and lobbying their state's congressional delegation. But members of Congress aren't exactly eager to talk to Blagojevich.
As if the financial troubles were not enough, lawmakers say they'll have to wait until after the trial to begin winning back voters who have lost trust in government amid the scandals of Blagojevich and his predecessor, Republican Gov. George Ryan.
"Unfortunately, there's a cloud cast over all of us because what few have done. We have to regain the confidence," said state Sen. Kwame Raoul, a Chicago Democrat.

PROTECT IP / SOPA Breaks The Internet from Fight for the Future on Vimeo.
This bill, which is on the fast track to passing in Congress, is so bad for free speech, the freedom of the internet, and the people who use it, that I'm baffled that Congress would even consider passage. But then I remember that Congress thinks pulling Americans off the streets and imprisoning then indefinitely, without knowing what they are accused of or by who was a wonderful enough idea to pass. Does this sound like America to you — well we're swiftly becoming one of those countries who violate human rights and repress their people.
I've already signed petitions and written to my representatives begging them not to pass this legislation. Please join the fight for freedom in America and ask your representatives to vote NO on these two pieces of legislation.
Stop Censorship by Congress of the Internet
Nov 22
The script that marked this post as censored on Nov. 22 has expired. I'd put up the script to direct readers to sign a petition that would be delivered to congress to express dismay (use stronger language if you wish) that they intended to pass a law that would have taken websites off-line if any one page on the site had a link or info that was considered in violation of copyright no matter whether that link or info was in comments or written by the site owner. To make it even more appalling is would be similar to the take downs currently in place for music and video — no real checks to make sure it was a valid request for removal and very little info on how to get the site restored if the take down was deemed in error. It's a bad law all around that only works for corporations not for the 99%.
The petition got a lot of attention and now the supporters of the bill are calling it a jobs bill rather than what it is — a censorship bill.
Both issues went up today and you can read them at the following links:

My Readercon Schedule for July 15-17th, 2011
Jul 13
We'll be heading to Readercon this weekend. Readercon is one of the few conventions that I attend each year. SFRevu has a table in the dealers' room — our semi-annual book sale to clear out our basement actually so if you're there stop by the table for a chat.
Here's my schedule:
Friday: 12:00 PM G And They Lived Happily Ever After, Until They Died: Retelling Russian Folktales. Patricia McKillip, Gayle Surrette (leader). Ekaterina Sedia's The Secret History of Moscow, Catherynne M. Valente's Deathless, Patricia McKillip's In the Forests of Serre… it appears we're in the middle of a renewed interest in fairy tale retellings—and specifically, postmodern, genre-challenging fairy tale retellings—based in the folklore of Russia. Is there a specific element to Russian stories that makes them particularly fit for contemporary adaptation?
Saturday: 7:00 PM ME The One Right Form of a Story. Judith Berman, Marilyn "Mattie" Brahen, John Langan, Meghan McCarron, Gayle Surrette (leader). Quoth Mark Twain: "There are some books that refuse to be written…. It isn't because the book is not there and worth being written—it is only because the right form of the story does not present itself. There is only one right form for a story and if you fail to find that form the story will not tell itself." Anyone who has adapted a fairy tale for a poem or developed a short story into a novel might disagree, yet many authors have also spent years chasing stories that evade capture until they're approached in just the right way. What makes some stories easygoing and others stubborn? Is the insistence on a story "telling itself" a red herring? And what does "form" really mean here?
Hyperion and I look forward to meeting our readers and making new friends.

PRINCETON, N.J., Feb. 22. THE BROWN UNIVERSITY Bears got off to a fast start in the first day of the Ivy League Women's Swimming & Diving Championships, which are being held at Princeton University. The Bears totaled 246 points, 21 better than second-place Princeton (225) and 30 points better than third-place Yale (216).
The meet began 45 minutes late because of the cold, snowy weather outside DeNunzio Pool, but the Bears wasted no time in heating things up in the evening's first event. The 200-yard freestyle relay foursome of Dawn Chuck, Emily McCoy, Judy Koonstra and Liz Daniels broke a nine-year-old record by swimming the distance in 1 minute, 32.72 seconds. The previous record of 1:33.38 was set by Yale in 1992.
Brown freshman Jean Lee then won the 500-yard free-style in a time of 4:49.39, edging out Princeton's Valeria Kukla by one-tenth of a second. The Bears went 1-2 in the 200-yard individual medley, another freshman, Lindsay Hoban, won the event in 2:03.31 followed by junior Judy Koonstra in 2:04.74.
The first non-Brown swimming victory of the night went to Yale's Meredith Bryarly, who won in 23.20. Earlier in the day during the trials, Bryarly established a new DeNunzio record in the event, covering the 50 yards in 22.82. It was not a meet record, however.
The 1-meter diving competition went to Yale's Bates Gregory, who totaled 281.05 points and earned the Elis 20 team points. The final event of the night, the 400-yard medley relay, went to the Princeton quartet of Kate Conroy, Chrissy Holland, Molly Seto and Kukla. The team's winning time, 3:44.73, was a new meet record by three seconds.

Nearly 35% of settlers who complete IDF service are called in for reserve duty; percentage significantly lower in other parts of country
Yoav Zitun
Published: 08.09.12, 00:09 / Israel News
Yoav Zitun
West Bank settlers who complete their mandatory army service are more likely to become reserve
troops than residents of other parts of Israel,
according to a report released by the IDF
on Wednesday.
According to the report, 34% of IDF troops who hail from the West Bank
are called in to report for reserve service. In comparison, 29% of former troops from northern Israel are summoned for reserve duty, while the percentage stands at 28% in central Israel, 28% in Jerusalem and 27% in southern Israel.
Related articles:
Of those who are summoned, 69% are combat troops.
The data shows that more than 80% of discharged troops who are called upon by the IDF actually report for reserve duty. The IDF estimates that in a state of emergency, the rate could hit 110%.
Only 5% do reserve service (Illustration: Michael Kramer)
The report indicates that only 5% of the eligible population serves in the reserve forces; although it should be noted that the army has no use for most of potential reservists.
In order to bolster group cohesiveness within the reserve units, the IDF increased the number of days each soldier serves annually. The change went into effect this year and was expected to be implemented next year as well.
Army officials say that reservists don't get the respect they deserve despite their contribution.
"According the an extensive poll that we conducted, 50% of businesses refuse to employ reservists, and I understand them," Chief Reserve Officer, Brig.Gen. Shuki Ben Anat, said.
"The authorities must realize that they can and should by all means ease up on reservists," he added, noting that the benefits that the troops receive fail to legitimize reserve service.
Also according to the data, the average age of reservists is 31. About half are married. Nearly three quarters have received higher education, Twenty-two percent are self-employed.
Moreover, 14% of reservists who were called up this year were women – compared to 8% in 2008.
Nearly a fifth – 19% – were born abroad. Of them, 1,200 were born in Georgia, 720 are from Iran, 30 are from the Philippines and five are from Bahrain.

Saturday 18th June was a first for NLI as we held a special evening of music and poetry in our spectacular Reading Room. Guests of honour were uilleann pipe master Liam O'Flynn of Planxty, and Andrea Corr, formerly of best-selling folk group the Corrs, now a successful actress and solo artist. The event served as the high point of the annual Summer's Wreath festival which celebrates the legacy of W.B. Yeats throughout June. The Reading Room, usually a place of quiet study, was filled to capacity with extra seating dotted beside each desk, all eyes directed towards the specially-erected stage at the top of the room. After a warm introduction by Katherine McSharry, Head of Services at NLI, Liam O'Flynn began by highlighting the significance of the location, noting that Yeats considered himself a privileged visitor to NLI and could often be found studying in the Reading Room.
He spoke eloquently of how poetry and music provide a terrific response to events in our history and how Yeats, through his early poetry, linked the landscape with a mythic past. He then played the first piece of music of the evening: a hornpipe entitled Sliabh na mBan, Mountain of the Women celebrating the legendary Tipperary mountain.
Other pieces played throughout the night included The Hosting of the Sidhe and one of O'Flynn's favourite Aislings By the River of Gems, Cois Abhainn na Séad. He marvelled at how this new genre of poetry was perfected in the 18th century despite being such a dark time in Irish history.
The highlight for many was no doubt O'Flynn's rendition of The Fox Chase by Edward Keating Hyland - a piece that was played for King George IV when he visited Dublin in 1821.
O'Flynn noted that while searching through Yeats' poetry, he had come across The Ballad of the Foxhunter – a poem that had a huge emotional impact on him. Andrea Corr read out this poem, along with many other of Yeats's best known and best loved poems, including To a Child Dancing In The Wind, Never Give All The Heart, When You Are Old, and He Remembers Forgotten Beauty.

Lee Eisenberg's The Number
Posted By Jim On 12/22/2005 @ 9:39 am In Personal Finance,Reviews | 3 Comments
I've read the latest personal finance book that's taken the blogging world by storm, titled The Number by Lee Eisenberg, and I like the book even though it's very similar to an article Eisenberg penned [3]. I was going to write a review of the book but I felt that all my thoughts were captured by my fellow bloggers who have already written their own reviews. I feel like the guy who has come late to the party (I read slowly and not often) and decides to start conversations people already have finished.
So… to those of you who haven't had the chance to read a review, here are some that I think you will find both entertaining to read and informative:
Apparently FMF [12] has a review in the works and it's not a overly rosy one… keep an eye out for it. (maybe he's also slow, or maybe he's too busy watching movies [13])

MTV Video Music Awards: Chevy Aims At Young Drivers During Show
Things to look out for during the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday night include: Established hit makers performing their latest chart-topping tunes, upstart artists challenging them for the big prizes, old-timers staging comebacks — and commercials for the Chevy Cruze.
At least that's how the car maker hopes viewers will plan their evenings. As part of its strategy to glow brightly on the radar screens of young car shoppers, especially young women, Chevrolet worked with singer-producer Pharrell Williams and his musical group N.E.R.D., and the singer Ciara to produce a "customized version" of N.E.R.D.'s "Hot-n-Fun" video to be aired during the awards show.
In the video, which will be shot on a Paramount Studios lot in Hollywood, the scene is a 1950s drive-in with old and new Chevy vehicles. The car maker says the segment, which amounts to an extended-play advertising spot, is part of its media buy but will be "seamlessly integrated into the show."
Chevrolet is one of several old motor-vehicle brands trying to cultivate young customers after years of relying mostly on baby boomers for sales. Rival Ford has pitched its new Fiesta subcompact mainly on youth-oriented social media and motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson has been displaying its bikes and marketing them heavily at music festivals this summer.
Chevrolet says the VMA promotion marks the end of a week-long coming-out party for the Cruze, which succeeds the Cobalt and Cavalier as Chevrolet's entry-level compact car. Other events included the roll-out of new television ads with voice-overs by the actor Tim Allen. By mid-week Chevy was celebrating the beginning of Cruze production at its Lordstown, Ohio assembly plant. The awards show from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles starts at 9 p.m Sunday.

This is one of the most amazing easter eggs in GTA V. It is based after a popular video posted by a crazy happy guy in 2008 shortly after GTA IV was released. Now in 2013, R* recognized the video and bought this to GTA V. At one time, when switching to Trevor outside missions. He will be in a highway pursuing a scooter, screaming the same quotes like the happy guy playing GTA IV.

Chinas consumption of gold in the first six months of the year surged by more than half as sliding prices of the metal lured buyers, data showed, reinforcing expectations that the nation will overtake India as the worlds top gold consumer this year.
Gold prices have lost about a fifth of their value this year after 12 years of gains, releasing pent-up demand across the world and particularly in India and China.
China consumed 706.36 tonnes of gold in the first half of 2013, up 54 per cent from the year-ago period, the China Gold Association said in a statement on its website.
It consumed 832.18 tonnes in all of 2012 and about 460 tonnes in the first half of 2012.

In its latest Monthly Budget Review, CBO estimates that the federal government incurred a budget deficit of $642 billion for the first five months of fiscal year 2011, $10 billion less than the shortfall recorded in the same period last year.
The government's receipts have been growing on a year-over-year basis. Receipts in February were higher than the amounts collected in February 2010, CBO estimates, marking the 10th consecutive month of year-over-year increases. Prior to that period, in 22 of the previous 24 months, receipts had been lower than those in the same month the year before.
In total, receipts for the first five months of fiscal year 2011 were $68 billion, or 8.5 percent, higher than receipts for the comparable period last year, CBO estimates, largely as a result of increases in individual income taxes. Withholding for income and payroll taxes increased by $50 billion (or 7 percent), which reflects higher wages and salaries; the increase would have been greater but for the temporary payroll tax reduction that took effect in January 2011. Refunds of individual income taxes were about $14 billion lower than refunds in the first five months of last year; half of that decline occurred in January and February, probably because of a delay in the filing and processing of some individual tax returns that were affected by the tax legislation that was enacted in December.
Spending for the first five months of fiscal year 2011 was $58 billion, or 4.0 percent, higher than outlays in the same period last year, CBO estimates. Much of that growth is explained by advance payments made by depository institutions to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in fiscal year 2010. Excluding those prepayments to the government (which were recorded as negative outlays), total spending has grown by less than 1.0 percent in 2011, CBO estimates.
Some of the slow growth can be attributed to lower net spending—a decline totaling $18 billion—for payments to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and for the Troubled Asset Relief Program. Additionally, outlays for unemployment benefits decreased by $14 billion (or 20 percent) because of fewer claims and lower average benefits.
In contrast, net interest on the public debt rose by $11 billion (or 13 percent) as a result of substantial growth in the national debt over the past year. Outlays for Medicaid increased by $7 billion (or 6 percent). Spending for Social Security and defense grew by 4 percent and 3 percent, respectively. Medicare spending was up by only 3 percent, an unusually low rate of growth.
The Monthly Budget Review was prepared by Barbara Edwards, Daniel Hoople, David Rafferty, and Joshua Shakin.

This reproduction of a print by American landscape painter and etcher Edwin Forbes (1839-1895) shows soldiers under the command of Ambrose Burnside fighting at the Battle of Antietam, near Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 17, 1862. Burnside's failure to perform sufficient reconnaissance on the southern flank of the Union line caused him to attempt to take a bridge (subsequently known as "Burnside's Bridge") that was covered by heavy Confederate fire. The resulting impasse contributed to the tactical stalemate in which the battle ended.

Charlie hit the mother-lode with more than $4 million in campaign cash, compared to $340K for Marco Rubio.
The big-money conservative donors had been sitting on the sidelines waiting for these numbers before committing to Marco. Now that they've seen them, they'll take their wallets elsewhere, spending on candidates who at least have a chance to win. Some may even give to Charlie because everybody loves a winner.
Marco vows to carry on, saying this is an election about ideas, not money. But if you don't have the money, you can't spread your ideas.
Marco's last ally is time. There is time for a major hurricane to hit and expose Charlie's disastrous socialized insurance scheme. There is time for a major free-for-all in Tallahassee between Charlie and legislators who are tired of his faux populism. There is time for the economy to melt down like it did at the end of last year, when Charlie hitched his wagon to Obama's stimulus pacakge.
But the improbable rapidly is becoming the impossible.

ATLANTA -- A group of state lawmakers from north Fulton County are asking the state not to extend tolls on Ga. 400 for another decade.
High-ranking legislators from north Fulton County on Friday asked the state to reverse its decision to extend the Ga. 400 toll until 2020. House Speaker Pro Tem Jan Jones said legislators are exploring whether they can cancel the toll themselves with a new law.
In addition to Jones, signers of the letter to the state Transportation Board include House Majority Whip Edward Lindsey, House Judiciary Chairman Wendell Willard and House Ethics Chairman Joe Wilkinson.
They also sent a copy of the letter to Gov. Sonny Perdue and Gov.-elect Nathan Deal.
The State Road and Tollway Authority voted in September to extend the toll.

eDiscovery: If You Delay, Courts Will Make You Pay
By IT-Lex Intern Joey Chindamo (LinkedIn)
A fascinating eDiscovery case out of Maryland federal court last month could be a game-changer in the area of electronically stored information (ESI).
The United States District Court for the District of Maryland released its opinion in Branhaven, LLC v. Beeftek, Inc. [PDF] on January 4. The court imposed sanctions against the Plaintiff, Branhaven, and also imposed sanctions on Plaintiff's counsel, for discovery violations on multiple grounds after defense counsel complained about "discovery abuses intended to harass defendants, cause unnecessary delay, and needlessly increase the cost of litigation[.]"
Essentially, the Defendants had filed requests for production, and the Plaintiff's counsel responded, saying the Plaintiff would make the requested documents available. Plaintiff's counsel then signed off on the response. As it turns out, Plaintiff's counsel did little more than forward the discovery request to Branhaven and never followed up. The court held the discovery response to be insufficient:
"[W]ith its meaningless and arguably misleading response, plaintiff simply tried to buy time and technically comply with Rule 34. One of plaintiff's counsel essentially admitted as much."
The requests to produce were served on the Plaintiff on January 31, 2012, and the timeline was addressed by the court:
"The record undisputedly shows that as of March 21, plaintiff's counsel had done little, or nothing, in terms of a reasonable inquiry and indeed had no knowledge of the number and identity of responsive documents. Indeed, it does not appear that plaintiff's counsel took any action until the middle of June."
On June 14, 2012, production of the documents finally began, but by July 20, only 388 total pages had been produced. But on July 20, just days before depositions were set to begin, Branhaven produced 112,106 pages. The surge in production came from a search of email servers and the discovery of two forgotten laptops. Branhaven's explanation:
"The sources of the documents referred to as the 'document dump' by defendants were computer servers Branhaven purchased as part of the asset sale of another entity in 2011. Branhaven did not have access to the passwords necessary to access the servers. Branhaven is also essentially a start-up company and its litigation funds are not unlimited. Branhaven was concerned about the expenses associated with vendor assisted electronic discovery and accordingly it attempted to obtain the documents itself, using its in-house information technology staff."
The court was anything but happy with Branhaven's excuses:
"Plaintiff's explanation is wholly unacceptable . . . Branhaven delayed approximately five months before seeking an outside vendor from the date of the request for production. While a one month delay to allow an in house effort to access the servers might be seen as acceptable; a five month delay with its impact on the opposing party's discovery is not. Second, Branhaven is the plaintiff! Surely before initiating a lawsuit, which of course has resulted in substantial defense costs, Branhaven must have understood that it necessarily also would be subject to discovery demands with the attendant costs."
The court found the plaintiff's behavior to be misleading, too, because of its March response to the defense's request for production. While Branhaven had made a statement in March that it would make the responsive documents available, the court reasonably inferred that it had made no attempts until July to do so. The court's language is compelling:
"Plaintiff's delay in addressing the lack of access to these email servers is inexcusable. There is no more obvious and critical source of information in the 21st century than a company's email accounts. Plaintiff's counsel's failure to identify and produce this discovery in a timely fashion and in an acceptable form and manner while suggesting – if not misleading defendants – that it had identified responsive documents is sanctionable."
Further complicating this already murky production was the nature by which Branhaven did it. Branhaven produced PDF files without Bates stamping. The Defendants objected, saying that the files should have been in TIFF format with Bates stamping—without it, the files were not "reasonably usable." Despite arguments from Branhaven that no rules required the production as Bates stamped-TIFF files, the court disagreed:
"While the Court agrees that the PDF format and lack of Bates-stamping does not violate any explicit agreement between the parties, it appears to violate Rule 34 and appears contrary to customary and reasonable practice especially in voluminous productions and further complicated defendants' review of the documents, causing further expense and delay. Through the McNeil affidavit defendants have demonstrated that without Bates stamping and .tiff format, the data was not reasonably usable and therefore was insufficient under Rule 34."
The court's reasoning here establishes a potentially dangerous and overly burdensome precedent for attorneys dealing with eDiscovery, and the problem comes down to file types. As the Bow Tie Law Blog explains, PDF and TIFF files are essentially "static images." You can think of them as photographs of a document. Both can be made to be searchable, an invaluable tool when dealing with digital files, but adding searchability not only bloats the file sizes but also adds a burden for the producing party. The Defendants in the Branhaven court's requests for Bates stamped-TIFF files attempt to mimic a timeless method of production—paper. As the Bow Tie Law Blog said:
"Why is [Branhaven] . . . a nightmare for me? Because it applies a paper model of discovery to electronically stored information, requiring a conversion of ESI into a TIFF with Bates Stamps (a conversion which can triple processing costs with some service providers). What is even stranger about it is the form of production battle centered on PDFs vs TIFF, both of which are static images. One difference is a PDF can be either non-searchable (thus like a TIFF) or searchable (thus more like a native file)."
As the Branhaven opinion notes, TIFFs have long been used in eDiscovery. But this white paper seems to indicate that for legal purposes, and what litigants actually need discovery for—the ease of finding the information they need—PDF is the superior file type and more sustainable for the future.
IT-Lex Member Ralph Losey wrote about the inadequacies [PDF] of Bates stamping electronically stored information back in 2007, and in his article, Mr. Losey addressed the sheer unimaginable volume of digital information. For those whose eyes have glazed over with the tech talk, concrete examples may be illustrative. Take Mr. Losey's discussion of the Enron collapse and the subsequent discovery:
"For example, when Enron collapsed and all of its records became the subject of government investigation and numerous lawsuits, the parties discovered that this company alone maintained digital evidence over 200 terabytes in size. Comparing this number to the size of the entire print collection of the Library of Congress, Enron had twenty times more ESI than the library. From this, we may reasonably infer that, by the turn of the century, most major corporations in the United States had already stored enough ESI to fill twenty Libraries of Congress."
But maybe that does not truly hammer home just how much information that is. Let's put it into astronomical terms, an illustrative technique I have personally loved since childhood.
The circumference of the Earth is approximately 24,901.55 miles. Laid end-to-end, it would take 143,432,928 sheets of standard 8.5×11 paper to wrap completely around Earth one time. Now, assuming that a gigabyte of digital storage is approximately 500,000 pages, the 200 terabytes of Enron discovery would equate, very roughly, to more than 102 billion pages.
Laid end-to-end, the Enron discovery alone would wrap around Earth nearly 714 times.
With volume like that, why do lawyers—and like in Branhaven, the courts—want to mimic paper? The answer could simply be comfort with a familiar system. Bates stamping has been used for more than 100 years. It could also be a lack of understanding of the complexities of the technology itself by the collective legal profession. But as eDiscovery becomes more prevalent, and as more attorneys and law firms are sanctioned for failing to comply with overly burdensome and antiquated discovery requests, it will be interesting to see whether practitioners and the judiciary make adjustments to an evolving system.

DENVER opened its arms to supporters of the Jewish National Fund last weekend, offering bucolic October weather and warm words of welcome during the first JNF national conference to be held in the Mile High City.
For their part, the several hundred JNF lay and professional leaders seemed to return the sentiment, adding a palpable sense of excitement and enthusiasm as they gathered to discuss and celebrate an organization that is clearly beloved by its supporters.
Although a band of protesters — the usual anti-Israel crowd oddly joined by members of the anti-Zionist Neturei Karta sect — did their best to crash the party with vocal demonstrations at the main door of the Grand Hyatt hotel downtown, few JNF'ers seemed to pay them much mind.
The few who did engage them in lively debate were firmly defiant of the critics' anti-Israel canards and outspokenly unapologetic in their own unflagging support of Israel.
If any single theme came through during the three days of the JNF conference, it was the organization's unshakeable bond with Israel.
In an age when many Jews are questioning or redefining the relationship between Israel and American Jewry, JNF supporters — including the many younger members who attended the conference — embodied a spirit of old-fashioned passionate Zionism.
THAT was the main point of the conference's opening address, given by JNF-KKL (Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael) world chairman Efi Stenzler on Friday afternoon, Oct. 25.
Stenzler spoke of the 40th anniversary this year of the Yom Kippur War in which he served and "in which I lost many of my friends" among the 2,500 to 2,800 Israeli soldiers who died.
Like all of Israel's wars, Stenzler said, the Yom Kippur conflict solidified his conviction that "Israel and Jerusalem will never fall," but also that in order to survive, Israel "must be the best.
"Little Israel cannot afford to make a mistake. To survive we must be better than others in education, science, medicine, agriculture and sustainability. All these issues are related to each other."
In all of those are fields, Stenzler said, JNF is not only an active participant but an innovative leader.
He laid out a laundry list of JNF's projects in forestry, water conservation and management, agriculture and community building, particularly in Israel's under-populated Negev and Galilee regions.
Stenzler also spoke of the organization's efforts to strengthen relations with the Jewish world by opening new offices in international locations and setting up summer camp programs to expose world Jewish youth to JNF's work.
He did not ignore those who criticize Israel and the Jewish National Fund's mission to support it.
"There are demonstrators outside," Stenzler said. "They are protesting against us because we represent Zionism and strength. We represent the organization that brought the land of Israel to its people. Our enemies use minority groups in Israel not to help them but to hurt us."
He defied the protester's charges that Israel is racist, that it practices apartheid or ethnic cleansing, by detailing the JNF's work on behalf of Israel's Arabs.
He defended the organization's role in the controversial program to relocate Bedouin populations into permanent communities as an effort to bring them out of isolation and poverty into Israel's social mainstream.
"We do this with the understanding that this is the proper and right way to integrate the Bedouins into Israel as Israelis," Stenzler said. "It's a part of real social justice. We give dignity to all residents in Israel."
AFTER the next speaker, John Hickenlooper, addressed the JNF attendees, it was clear that the governor of Colorado had made several hundred new fans.
Speaking in the informal and earnest style that Coloradoans already know very well, Hickenlooper enthusiastically described his first trip to Israel last spring during which he participated in a JNF-sponsored tree planting near Jerusalem.
Introduced by Denver attorney Norm Brownstein (whose firm Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck was a sponsor of the JNF conference) Hickenlooper called his journey to Israel "the trip of a lifetime."
"I thought I was going to die from lack of sleep," he said, " . . . but I've never had a trip that showed me such diversity and landscapes and people, of beauty. I had never been to Israel before and I was so taken and so transformed by all the riches, in the landscapes and the people."
The governor characterized the conference as an opportunity for Israel supporters and Coloradoans to establish contacts that will evolve into the sort of friendships that can result in joint projects and programs.
"This is one of many ties between Colorado and Israel," Hickenlooper said. "We are thousands of miles apart but we're really not that different. People see differences but really there are so many similarities."
During his trip to Israel he was impressed by Israel's "culture of innovation" and noted that Colorado is trying to cultivate that same culture here.
"I got to Israel and said, we still have a long ways to go. We have shared values and interests in addition to the ties of friendship. Israel is a leader in high tech, in agricultural innovation, water management, natural gas development, renewal energy technology.
"Each of these areas — high tech, agriculture, water, natural gas, renewable energy — are things that we care deeply about in Colorado. I think we can learn so much from you. It's interesting that JNF is active in many of these areas."
Hickenlooper displayed his pro-business orientation, already well known locally, to the JNF supporters last week.
"My commitment to you all is that we are partners," he said. "When we are a step ahead in innovation we will invest in Israel.
"We will take your thought leaders and make sure they have our best technology.
"And we hope vice-versa, when you are ahead of us, we can benefit from your experiences and your knowledge."
THE governor highlighted several areas in which Colorado and Israel share common concerns.
Hickenlooper noted that as mayor of Denver he embarked on a goal of planting one million trees in Denver over 20 years.
"I was proud as punch," he said. "Then I found out that JNF in a little over a hundred years, has planted, what, 240 million trees. It made me feel about that high. But you know, we can learn.
"JNF is also a leader in fire prevention. We've had a number of wildfires here in the last couple of years and we are very focused on that. We're learning in leaps and bounds and again, we are happy to trade our learning and are hoping to get some lessons from you that you already have."
He spoke of Israel's progress in high tech industries in almost envious terms, adding that Colorado is also aspiring to become a world force in high tech development.
"Israel, in the world, is second only to the entire United States in startups. You look at the top 10 cities in the US, four of them are in Colorado. We're very proud of that.
"But if we were in Israel, our four cities would be in the bottom.
"We are just beginning to create the ecosystem and cultivate that environment where people just naturally start business and take those ideas and that research and evolve that into businesses that create jobs."
Hickenlooper took note of the business relationships already in place between Israel and Colorado, adding that he hopes to increase the scope of those ties.
"We do have 80 Colorado companies that are doing business in Israel and about $45 million in exports to Israel. I want to focus in the next 12 to 18 months and set up a planning place so that we can say that in five years we're going to double that."
Further shared concerns in water conservation, biotech industries, irrigation, renewable energy and oil development will provide a rich field of opportunity for Israel and Colorado to develop joint ventures in both research and business, Hickenlooper predicted.
"I came back from my visit to Israel and felt so powerfully that the greatest benefit would be for us to get more Americans to go visit Israel, not just to lie on a beach but to let them have the same kind of experience I did, where I got to go and meet the people running businesses and starting businesses," Hickenlooper said.
"To allow Americans to go and to drink deeply at the spring of Israeli culture, would be no greater gift for America."

Spicy Bean Stuffed Peppers
Spicy Bean Stuffed Peppers
These stuffed peppers are a 100% KERF invention – I just brainstormed what we would have on hand this week and these peppers came together:
- 1.5 cups cooked pinto and navy beans (you can go crazy with bean creativity here – use whatever you like, canned or dried)
- 1 serving cooked bulgur
- 1 can diced tomatoes, drained
- 2 tbsp pickled jalapeño, diced
- Cumin, oregano, hot sauce, black peppercorns, S+P – any seasonings you like!
Mix all ingredients together and stuff 2 bell peppers thusly:
Bake in a 400* oven for about 20 minutes. Top with cheese (we used muenster – half a slice on each pepper) and bake until cheese is melted:
Up close and personal beans and bulgur:
For two pepper halves:
430 kcal, 22 grams fiber, 24 grams of protein.
You could cut back with only a cup of beans and less cheese.

I just made this recipe, but when i calculated the nutrional info I am only getting around 310 calories for 2 pepper halves (I did switch the bulgur for whole wheat couscous and used pepperjack instead of muenster). How did you come up with 430 kcal?
- 3 February 19, 2009 at 11:17 pm
Hi there. Do you ever use Amarenth grain in any recipes you make? do you know if they have more fiber or nutrients than bulgar?
- 5 June 12, 2010 at 4:24 pm
What size can of diced tomatoes?
- 8 July 31, 2010 at 9:27 pm
Kath – I just made this recipe by using your idea but substituting with items I had on hand. SO GOOD! This, along with your vegetable lasagna are some of the best recipes I have tried. Keep em coming!

The good news about confirmation ministry is that there is no one right way to do it. A major challenge of confirmation ministry is ... there is no one right way to do it.
A 1998 study revealed six "broad umbrella" approaches or "models" of confirmation ministry currently in use in ELCA congregations, says Diane Monroe, ELCA associate director for youth education and confirmation. The lines between these models aren't hard and fast. Many congregations reflect a combination of these types.
