Mother Nature's Perfect Storm
Mother Nature has good news for people who love bad news.
According to the long-term spring weather forecast produced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the drought in the Great Plains and Southwest will continue, temperatures will be warmer than average nationwide, and potential for floods will rise.
In short, we are living the consequences of inaction on global climate change.
The federal agency's "U.S. Spring Outlook," based on "current conditions of snowpack, drought, soil moisture, stream flow, precipitation, Pacific Ocean temperatures and consensus among climate forecast models," says all of those factors are aligned to deliver more of the same kind of weather Americans experienced last year. For instance, NOAA researchers predict that last year's drought, one of the worst on record, will persist or intensify in much of the Southwest and Great Plains in 2013.
Inaction costs
A prolonged drought can wreak havoc on farmers and taxpayers alike, as the Dust Bowl era demonstrated. The dire weather prediction should come as a wake-up call to policymakers in Washington who deal with fiscal problems. The risk of an intensifying drought coupled with flooding this year will likely result in an increasing bill for taxpayers, who have already paid $7.4 billion in subsidies for 2011 and around $6.9 billion last year. As of mid-August 2012, more than half the nation's corn production was in areas hit by extreme drought. Winter snows have only slightly lessened the threat of the drought becoming chronic and capable of producing a second Dust Bowl.
The farm bill now under consideration by Congress must address the current state of the federal crop insurance program and its relationship to climate change in order to stay ahead of natural disasters. The nation's badly broken federal food and farm policy is doing little to help farmers adapt to climate change or mitigate the damage. Highly subsidized crop insurance gives farmers little incentive to engage in climate-friendly planting practices, because farmers know that taxpayers will step in to pay the cost of drought and flood-ruined crops. The U.S. Department of Agriculture pours salt on that wound by tossing farmers out of the crop insurance program if they plant carbon-sequestering cover crops.
Lawmakers who care about the future of American food production should start by limiting the perverse incentives in the federal crop insurance program. Crop insurance encourages farmers to release large volumes of greenhouse gases by plowing up and cultivating virgin prairie. Congress and the Obama administration need to take the uncontroversial step of requiring farmers to engage in engage in basic environmental protections in exchange for generous federal subsidies.
Beyond environmental concerns, the NOAA forecast says that the risk of flooding in agriculture-heavy areas in the upper Midwest is likely to be worse than last year across the country. Again, broken federal policy will likely excaserbate the damage from flooding. Crop insurance and high prices for corn driven by the misguided corn ethanol mandate are encouraging farmers to drain wetlands in the prairie pothole region to convert that land to production. This region is comprised of a vast network of shallow wetlands that serves as essential drainage and retention zones for spring snowmelt.
When the next farm bill finally comes up for debate, Congress must rectify dangerously broken farm and food policy. Otherwise, we risk our food system continually under siege by drought and flooding.

Okay, I'll admit it: It's beginning to look like this social media thing isn't going to go away (at least not any time soon). Yet it's still not clear to me how nearly constant contact with clients—weekly, daily, 24/7—is going to fit into advisors' practices and lives, nor how social media will actually improve service to clients or the performance of their portfolios.
To get a better handle on integrating social media into advisory practices, I recently caught up with industry veteran Jim Pierson, who is head of compliance and advisor support at Beacon Hill Financial in Columbus, Ohio. Jim is my kinda guy: he's been working with advisors for more than 40 years, experience that's taught him to take a no-nonsense, bottom-line approach to the business of advice. Particularly when it comes to slick new ideas that has everybody buzzing with excitement, and very little track record. Like social media.
"Everybody keeps telling me advisors need to do it," Pierson told me. "But I'm not entirely happy with how advisors are getting into social media these days. I believe we need to take a step back, and think about exactly what we're trying to do." Jim suggests that advisors need to ignore the hype about social media—just as they would about any new investment product—and focus on their overall strategy for building their businesses. "What's your strategic plan for marketing?" he asks. "How does social media fit into that?"
Pierson tells the advisors he works with to focus specifically on their long-term objectives: are they trying to bring in new clients? Increase their AUM? Build their brand as experts? Or simply strengthen their relationships with their existing clients and/or their community? "The key to successfully executing any strategic plan," he says, "is to have objective, measurable goals."
By "goals," he means tangible changes to one's business, not just techno data, such as the number of people who follow you on Twitter, or people "liking" you on Facebook. "What's the actual impact on my business?" Pierson suggests advisors ask. "How do I know I'm really getting more benefit? What are you going to use as a measurement tool to find out?" More clients and increased AUM are good indicators, of course. So is an increase in the number of referrals. Advisors can also regularly survey their clients to gauge changes in perception, and client satisfaction with their new level of advisor interaction.
The other side to social media is the costs and time involved. Most advisors already have some sense of this from their experience trying to keep their websites fresh. I can tell you from personal experience, writing a weekly blog is a whole new reality. And that's only once a week. "Big firms like Fidelity have whole teams of people dedicated to social media," says Pierson. "Advisors need to think about how their firms are going to handle this new workload: Who's going to do it, and what level of resources can they dedicate to supporting it?"
And don't forget about the compliance issues—and costs. "FINRA recently backed off [on requiring reps to] file social media communications with them," said Pierson. "But advisors still need to capture and archive those communications, and show FINRA they've been reviewed." That can be a real problem as firm compliance officers often don't see employee communications on iPhones or from home computers. "The first thing advisors need to do," he says, "is set up procedures about who is allowed to use social media, and how are they going to be supervised."
Ultimately, advisors need to ask themselves whether social media is really worth it. Pierson says that for the past year or so, the sole topic of discussion at his local compliance study group has been social media. "I have not found anybody to tell me that's it's actually worth it," he reports. "And more and more people are saying it's not worth it. It's tough to justify spending more on compliance these days. More 'likes' and "followers' just don't get down to the question of whether it's helping advisors meet their objectives."
In his latest blog posting, advisor Michael Kitces makes some suggestions on what social media is really good for.

The best example is trying to block a zerg early hatchery. Most pros will set their worker to patrol in a small area to block the hatchery. Why not hold position or just "stop"?
Patrolling keeps the worker from getting killed easily, while still blocking the area.
And it's more efficient than manually moving around, you can let it 'patrol' and move on with your business.
By melee units with similar speeds, anyway. – Raven Dreamer Jul 3 '11 at 15:50
Exactly, talking about worker vs. worker – DrFish Jul 3 '11 at 15:51
+1 Actually, they normally do it manually with way points, but its for the exact same reason. To take fewer hits from chasing workers – tzenes Jul 3 '11 at 16:13
Patrolling the worker also prevents it from showing up as idle. This way, any idle workers that are selected can actually be used for something else.
3Haha the funny thing is, I patrol my intentionally-idle workers instinctively, but I forgot why I started that habit. You just reminded me why. – tenfour Jul 3 '11 at 19:02
I assumed that the patrol gets the probe up to speed, so that they don't need to accelerate for further movements, such as the little way needed to move the probe to perfect position when building the expand. I might be wrong though.
Yet another reason is that a patrolling worker will attack other workers that come near it (IIRC). An idle worker will just run away, which means they're no longer blocking. Whereas if they send a worker to build a building where your patrolling worker is, I believe your worker will attack theirs, and if they don't notice it, could even kill it.
Edit: As the comments indicate, I might not be right about workers attacking when set on patrol. I haven't tried it lately.

Standard chemotherapy provides higher survival rate than experimental in lung cancer patients
Treatment with pemetrexed, carboplatin and bevacizumab followed by maintenance pemetrexed and bevacizumab (Pem+Cb+B) is no better than standard therapy with paclitaxel, carboplatin and bevacizumab followed by bevacizumab (Pac+Cb+B) in patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NS-NSCLC), according to research presented at the 2012 Chicago Multidisciplinary Symposium in Thoracic Oncology. This symposium is sponsored by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) and The University of Chicago.
According to the American Cancer Society, lung cancer is the number one cause of cancer deaths in men and women each year. The current standard treatment for advanced NS-NSCLC patients, the most common form of advanced NSCLC, is either Pac+Cb+B or pemetrexed plus cisplatin. This trial sought to define a new standard of care by comparing Pac+Cb+B to the experimental chemotherapy regimen Pem+Cb+B to determine if either improved overall survival for late-stage lung cancer patients. Pemetrexed plus cisplatin was not tested in this trial.
The 939 patients were randomized to receive one of the two treatment arms every three weeks for up to four cycles. The patients received the same arm for each cycle. Overall survival was not statistically different between the two arms, 12.6 months in Pem+Cb+ Bev versus 13.4 months for the Pac+Cb+B arm, The experimental arm of Pem+Cb+Bev led to a increase in time before progression of disease (PFS) compared with the standard arm of Pac+ Cb+Bev—6 months versus 5.6 months, respectively.
"The fact that there was no improvement in survival with the experimental regimen was disappointing, but these findings are important as we continue to navigate ways to improve survival for this devastating disease," said Jyoti Patel, MD, lead author of the study and an associate professor in Medicine-Hematology/Oncology at Northwestern University in Chicago. "It is important to note that both regimens demonstrated tolerability, although their toxicities differed. These differences can be important for our patients."

Today (March 10), following the close of California's Special Session on healthcare funding, the 90-day clock begins before California's assisted suicide law becomes operative on Day 91. The End of Life Option Act officially takes effect on June 9, 2016.
The close of the special session to address Medi-Cal shortfalls, important disability services and in-home care program funding, is a reminder of the controversial legislative tactics taken by proponents in order to narrowly pass the assisted suicide bill.
Californians Against Assisted Suicide remains strongly critical of this new law, and its lack of medical oversight and actual patient safeguards. We will continue working with our partners including doctors, patients and disability rights organizations to educate those impacted and vulnerable, as well as working to limit the law's harms and prevent any expansion.

This is Haeundae Beach in South Korea. It's ridiculously popular with up to a million visitors per day. But the funny thing is, it's not the open sunny beach we know. Instead, it's lined with umbrellas to block out the sun.
Seriously, can you even be considered a beach when there's nearly 8,000 umbrellas lined up one by one, side by side and all next to each other? It's like one giant sun-hating canopy. According to the LA Times, one South Korean woman said:
"I love the water, but not the sun," said Kim Su-min, 29, who huddled under her umbrella wearing sunglasses, long shorts and a hooded sweat shirt, her ankles covered with a towel.
What the hell is the point of going to the beach without soaking up too much Vitamin D? And what the point when you have no where to play and frolick around? Where do people play catch? Build sand castles? Bonfire? Hit on hot girls? It looks more like being stuck in traffic than being on the beach.
It get's weirder too. There's green Astroturf walkways so women can still wear their high heels, pre-paid plastic bracelets so beachgoers can buy fried chicken without having to carry cash (I love that), security bracelets to keep track of kids and get this, even a Beach Zamboni to clean up the beach mess at the end of the day. Are you a beach Haeundae? I'm not really sure. [LA Times]

NFL: New York Jets new general manager John Idzik has some big decisions ahead of him
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. >> John Idzik's first day at the New York Jets' facility was filled with lots of handshakes, plenty of questions -- and not many answers.
The new general manager isn't ready for any of that yet. So, decisions on the futures of key players such as Darrelle Revis, Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow will have to wait a bit.
"I'm literally hours into the building," Idzik said Thursday at his introductory news conference. "That, we're going to save for our evaluation process."
The 52-year-old Idzik, Seattle's ex-vice president of football administration, was formally introduced as the replacement for the fired Mike Tannenbaum after being hired last Friday. With owner Woody Johnson, team president Neil Glat and coach Rex Ryan sitting in the front row, Idzik didn't delve into specifics but rather spoke about his broad vision for the franchise he is now charged with resuscitating.
"It will be based on a collaborative effort," said Idzik, wearing an appropriate green and black checkered tie. "It will be inclusive, well thought out and well researched. And, it will be the power of `we."'
After traveling from Seattle to Mobile, Ala., where he attended Senior Bowl workouts with Ryan and several other members of the Jets' staff, and finally to New Jersey, Idzik joked that he didn't know what day or time it was anymore. It has been that kind of whirlwind week for Idzik, who still managed to sneak in a congratulatory message to his parents celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary.
"We'll explore every measure to bring in talent and continue to compete," Idzik said. "The draft will be very important to us. That will be a lifeline for us, year in and year out. We'll use free agency and we'll be very thoughtful, do our research and be judicious in free agency. We'll use trades, we'll use waiver claims, work from our practice roster and have numerous tryouts throughout the year in search of guys who play like a Jet."
Idzik, hired last Friday after a two-week search by the Jets that included 10 candidates, had been with the Seahawks the past six seasons after previously working in the front offices of Tampa Bay and Arizona. His primary strengths include managing salaries and the salary cap, but he has also worked in player personnel -- a combination that attracted the Jets.
His first order of business will be to review the current roster and decide what moves to make -- or not make. Calling it a "very, very important day" for the team, Johnson said Idzik has "the requisite" to help rebuild the team into a perennial playoff contender.
Idzik, who will have the final say on all personnel decisions, will face immediate challenges. Such as whether to keep Sanchez, due $8.25 million in guarantees next season; Sanchez would cost the Jets a $17.1 million cap hit if they cut him, And what to do with Tebow, who is not expected back after one disappointing and unproductive season.
"We just need to take our time and evaluate Mark, along with everyone else," Idzik said.
Sanchez struggled mightily in 2012, and will be working with his third offensive coordinator in as many seasons as Marty Mornhinweg replaced the fired Tony Sparano. Ryan confirmed Sanchez is talking with former quarterback Jeff Garcia to help him pick up Mornhinweg's offense.
Neither Idzik nor Johnson would answer questions about a report the owner will explore trading Revis, who is recovering from a serious knee injury.
"I would never say anything about a trade or contract," Johnson said, neither confirming nor denying the report was true.
Revis, who has held out of training camp twice and nearly did again before last season, has a contract that voids after the 2013 season. The Jets also can't use the franchise or transition tag on him -- they agreed to that clause in the current deal. So there's some concern the team won't be able to re-sign Revis and would prefer to get something back for him rather than lose him as a free agent next winter.
"I think it's way premature to say anything specific," Idzik said.
Ryan has often called Revis the best defensive player in the NFL.
"I'm not going into any of those specifics right now," Ryan said of Revis' long-term future with the team. "Let's let the process run its course."
An angry Revis took to Twitter on Thursday afternoon, saying he was "speechless" about the trade rumors but was "more upset for the jet nation for having to go through this!!!" The cornerback also added: "I guess we'll see how this plays out."
New York is also about $19 million over the salary cap, which could appear daunting for a new general manager.
"I never saw the salary cap situation here as a hindrance," said Idzik, adding that he's confident the Jets can have "fruitful" offseason. "It's something you research, pore through and evaluate."
At the team's season-ending news conference, Johnson defended retaining Ryan, and said potential GM candidates would have to be willing to work with the coach. Having a coach already in place for an incoming GM was considered a possible drawback by some.
"I look forward to working with Rex Ryan," Idzik said. "That, to me, was a plus."
The Jets have also been perceived by many fans and media as having a circuslike atmosphere because of the headlines the franchise seems to constantly make off the field: trading for Tebow, Ryan's tattoo of his wife in a Sanchez jersey to name just a few.
"There seems to be a lot of misperceptions," Idzik said. "I don't sense dysfunction or anything like that."
Idzik, a native of Detroit, graduated magna cum laude from Dartmouth in 1982 and played wide receiver for the Big Green. He and wife Carol have a daughter and two sons, including Bradley, a sophomore wide receiver at Wake Forest. Idzik's father John was the Jets' offensive coordinator from 1976-79.
"Football," Idzik said, "is at the root of who I am."

Red Dutch Tone Wireless Wall Sounder
SGRS100-H - Red Dutch Tone Wireless Wall Sounder
The Dutch tone wireless wall sounder is an acoustic output device which is activated by a specific command sent from the control panel, through a translator module and other possibly present expander modules, in case of fire or emergency situations; this device provides a European tone set. The communication between the sounder and the translator / expander module(s) is wireless via the Sagittarius bidirectional protocol.
This sounder allows the installer to choose among three different tones and to set the volume by directly and manually acting on the device.
- Bi-directional wireless communication
- Self optimizing wireless amplitude and frequency
- Automatic wireless channel hopping
- Fully intelligent
- High reliability and sensitivity
- Utilizes standard low cost lithium battery technology, fully monitored
- The Wireless Wall Sounder is equipped with a bicolor LED (red/green) that provides visual indication for functional conditions and battery levels
- If a battery fault condition is detected on the Wireless Wall Sounder, a fault message is sent to the control panel via translator / expander. This kind of fault condition is locally signaled by the module's visual LED indicator
- The Wireless Wall Sounder is provided with a tamper detection switch-spring system, and, in case of removal of the cover from its
box, it sends a tamper detection message to the control panel
- Communication range with the translator or expander : 200 m (in open space) *
- Operating frequency range : 868.15 MHz - 869.85 MHz
- Modulation type : FSK
- Operating frequency channels : 7
- Radiated power : 5 dBm (3 mW) Typical
- Main battery ** : Type CR123A (3 Vdc) 5 years typical ***
- Secondary battery ** : Type CR2032A (3 Vdc) 2 months typical ***
- Sound output volume (selectable) 1 dB(A) variation depending on the tone pattern : 79-80 dB(A) or 99-100 dB(A)

- Tolerated humidity range (no condensing) : 5% to 95% RH
- IP rating : 21C
- Color : Red
* Ideal operating range: may vary consistently according to environmental conditions.
** When a low battery condition is indicated, both, main and secondary, batteries must be changed altogether.
*** Theses lifespan values refer to the device being programmed with a control signal transmission period of 12 seconds.
If the device is activated 30 seconds a week for test, the primary battery's lifespan reduces to 4.1 years (with the sounder activated and the volume set at maximum level).

David Kernell, the former Tennessee student convicted of hacking into Sarah Palin's personal e-mail account, was sentenced on Friday to one year in prison.
Kernell, 22, was convicted earlier this year of misdemeanor computer intrusion and a felony count of obstruction of justice. The jury found him not guilty of a wire-fraud charge and hung on a fourth charge for identity theft, after four days of deliberating.
The convictions carried a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a possible fine of up to $250,000. Federal sentencing guidelines recommend a sentence of between 15 and 21 months in prison. The government was seeking 18 months, but Kernell's attorney asked the court to forgo a prison sentence and give his client probation instead.
Kernell was sentenced to one year and one day in prison and three years of probation.
Kernell, son of Democratic Tennessee state representative Mike Kernell and Army Lt. Col. Lillian Landrigan, was found to have deleted evidence from his hard drive to thwart investigators, which was the most serious charge.
Threat Level broke the story in September 2008 that someone using the name "Rubico" had obtained access to Palin's personal Yahoo e-mail account. Palin was then running for vice president on the Republican ticket. Kernell got into the account by using publicly available information—such as Palin's birthdate and postal ZIP code—to reset the password to "popcorn" and gain control of her account.
Photos taken from the account—including two pictures of Palin's children—and five screen shots of e-mail messages were then posted on 4Chan and Imageshack. Bloggers quickly traced "Rubico" to Kernell.
Kernell, a University of Tennessee economics student at the time, had targeted Palin, he wrote in comments online, because he'd hoped to find information that would help derail her campaign and prevent her from being elected.
Although Kernell never found information in the account that was damaging to her campaign, the hack did show that Palin used her personal e-mail account to conduct official Alaska state business. Critics had accused the Alaska governor and her staff of using personal e-mail accounts to avoid public oversight.
Palin called the hacking of her Yahoo e-mail account "the most disruptive and discouraging" incident in that year's presidential campaign. She and her daughter Bristol testified at Kernell's trial that the hacking had caused the family emotional distress.
Kernell's attorney, in seeking probation for his client, argued that although Kernell might have deleted evidence, he didn't destroy the computer entirely or get rid of it.
"The proof showed that Mr. Kernell very quickly took actions that resulted in the evidence being preserved," defense attorney Wade Davies wrote. He also said that his client's behavior was an "aberration" from his normal conduct and that the "public humiliation, trial and felony conviction" his client had endured were enough to deter him from future crimes.
"General deterrence has been achieved in this case by educating the public that accessing another's e-mail account is conduct that violates federal law," Davies wrote.

UPDATE: A Rotterdam November is no longer touring. Most members have married and now have families or doing music independently. We do appreciate our fans and want to keep this website up for legacy purposes. Thanks for all the love over the years!
A Rotterdam November is a touring indie rock band that calls Boise, Idaho home some of the time.
The band consists of 4 members:
- David McCormick - Lead Vocals/Rhythm Guitar
- Dylan Anitok - Lead Guitar/Backup Vocals
- Phil Stender - Bass
- Joshua Krohn - Drums
If you ever catch a live performance (and you should), you won't come away pondering guitar spins or cogitating choreography. What will captivate you; however, is the convergence and intensity of the collective musical experience. One critic had this to say, "...fans have...stuck with them...what got these fans hooked is the sounds of A Rotterdam November, an album chock full of rock ballads and edgy, yet radio friendly, power pop (Scott Fryberger)."
Stylistically, Scott went on to say, "...the music you get on A Rotterdam November is almost like a rock-infused combination of Hillsong and the Goo Goo Dolls, with the vocals being a mix of Falling Up's Jessy Ribordy, Shawn McDonald and Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy. Other critics say the vocals are more a mix of Trapt and Acceptance. We'll leave the final conclusion to you.
What's up with the name? Well, Rotterdam is a city in the Netherlands where the downtown was destroyed by bombing during WWII. At that time, Rotterdam was nicknamed, "the city without a heart." However, the citizens rallied to replace the destruction with a new downtown and the city was reborn with a new "heart." Metaphorically speaking, Rotterdam became an old city with a new heart. Translating this analogy to the human experience is at the core of the band.
Of course, that core is Christ and His desire to be intimately involved in every aspect of our lives. Now, that brings up the question, "Are you a Christian band, or Christians in a band?" A question that gets asked often. Our response is, "If a person is a Christian, the purpose, meaning, and values of their faith should permeate every thing they do." So you decide, but regardless of your conclusion, connecting with fans and building relationships with this purpose in mind is a high priority for A Rotterdam November.
Love to see you at a show sometime soon!

Former Central Connecticut cross country standouts Alasia Griebel and Sam Alexander will be returning to the Blue Devils as assistant coaches for the 2012 season.
Both Griebel, the 2011 Northeast Conference Individual Women's Champion, and Alexander, 2011 NEC Individual Men's Champion, will be pursuing master's degrees from CCSU and have decided to continue their careers in cross country as well, this time as coaches.
"Everything about our athletics department is improving every year and I wanted to continue to be a part of it," Alexander said, a sentiment Alexander shared with his coach, Eric Blake. "I knew Sam wanted to continue as a runner so I approached him about coaching and he has been 100 percent on board. I think he will be a very good coach," Blake said.
Griebel, an education major, expressed interest in wanting to continue to run, but also in learning how to teach. "I really liked working with Coach Blake as an athlete last year and I wanted to gain experience in coaching," she said. "I feel like Coach Blake is one of the best to do that under."
The well-respected duo plan to run in post-collegiate races as well as run team practices. Other assistant coaching duties will include timing groups during workouts, providing sound coaching advice, traveling with the team and conveying their experiences as collegiate runners to their former teammates and incoming freshmen. "Sam and Alasia are both hard workers and their former teammates look up to them," Blake said.
Entering the 2012 fall season, Blake feels certain about his coaching staff choices. "The great thing about Sam and Alasia is that we are all on the same page. They understand what I want to do. I feel very confident in any training advice they give to the student-athletes."
Both the men and women's cross country teams will kick off their season at the Bryant Invitational on Saturday, Sept. 8 in Smithfield, RI.

United States v. Bormes
|Docket No.
|Op. Below
|Fed. Cir.
Oct 2, 2012
|Nov 13, 2012
Holding: The Little Tucker Act does not waive the government's sovereign immunity with respect to Fair Credit Reporting Act damages actions.
Plain English Holding: After James Bormes paid a fee to the United States over the Internet, he argued that the receipt displayed too much information about his credit card. When he tried to sue the United States for damages under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the federal government countered that it was immune from lawsuits seeking money. A federal court in Washington agreed with Bormes, concluding that he could sue the United States for money damages under the Little Tucker Act, which allows lawsuits like the one brought by Bormes to go forward in the federal trial courts around the country. The government asked the Supreme Court to hear the case, and the Court reversed. It held that the Little Tucker Act did not apply to cases brought under the FCRA, and it sent the case to another federal court for it to decide whether the suit should still go forward under that Act.
Judgment: Vacated and remanded, 9-0, in an opinion by Justice Scalia on November 13, 2012.

Terry Richardson is controversial, no doubt. Once an envelope-pushing sexual provocateur, the now-mainstream photographer maintains his seedy rep through accusations of inappropriate behavior toward young models and the questionably exploitative photos that end up on Terry's Diary. As Charlotte Free put it, there will always be another girl willing to do whatever Terry wants. And, so, the one community that truly knows him — the fashion community — continues to tolerate his behavior...for now, at least.
Despite his history, it's not unusual to see public figures with reputations to uphold clasp him on the shoulder and smile for the camera alongside him. Maybe Obama or Oprah (yeah, that happened) were unaware of his reputation when shot with him. But don't they have extensive teams to look into potential PR problems?
To be fair, some of these partnerships happened for magazine shoots, so the celebrities may not have had much control over the publication's choice of photographer. Whatever the case, the fact that these photos with high-profile figures even exist signals to us that the world at large either doesn't know or doesn't care about the many accusations hurled against Richardson. If he were a politician with the same unconfirmed charges pressed against him, no one would want to touch him. And yet, being photographed with Terry with your thumbs in the air just isn't a problem these days. Which makes us wonder: Should it be? You tell us.

Cronin gets 200th win, but Bearcats don't make it easy
Bearcats nearly blow 20-point lead
Sean Kilpatrick scored 21 points and Cashmere Wright added 17 as No. 24 Cincinnati blew almost all of a 20-point lead before holding off Seton Hall 65-59 on Saturday, the Bearcats' fifth win in six games.
Cincinnati (18-4, 6-3 Big East) was up 48-28 5 minutes into the second half only to allow the Pirates (13-9, 2-7) to get within four points twice. The Bearcats, who entered the game 14th in the 15-team conference in free throw shooting at 64.9 percent, finished 21 of 27 (77.8 percent) from the line, including making eight of their last nine in the game.
Fuquan Edwin and Brandon Mobley both had 16 points for Seton Hall, which has lost three straight and seven of eight.
Wright made all seven of his free throws and JaQuon Parker was 6 of 8 to lead the Bearcats.The Bearcats scored the first 15 points of the second half - a run that had Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard call two timeouts in the opening 2:30. Kilpatricks's second 3 of the run - after he started 2 for 7 from beyond the arc - made it 48-28 with 15:02 left in the half.
Cincinnati had closed the first half on a 14-5 run and Wright had eight points, a 3-pointer, a traditional three-point play and two free throws.
Seton Hall took advantage of an offensive dry spell by the Bearcats to get as close as four points twice.
Edwin made four straight free throws to cap a 17-2 run that made it 52-48 with 6:46 to play. Cincinnati had one field goal over a span of 13:28 - including missing 12 straight shots. The Pirates got to 56-52 with 3:12 to go on a 3-pointer by Mobley. But the Bearcats kept making their free throws to keep the Pirates at bay.
The win was the 200th for Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin. He has a 200-116 record in 10 seasons as a head coach, 131-92 in seven seasons with the Bearcats.

CNBC is reporting that Microsoft could want a piece of Dell even after its privatization. Sources speaking to CNBC's David Faber tell him that Redmond might invest $1 billion to $3 billion in the company.
Microsoft is claimed to be in talks with private equity firm Silver Lake and Michael Dell, both of whom are believed to be working on a leveraged buyout of the PC builder. Microsoft has had dealings with Silver Lake before; in 2011 it took Skype off the investment company's hands. With the buyout valuation estimated at around $22 billion, Microsoft would only be a bit part player in any buyout, but it would be able to use its position to influence the direction of the company. Faber's terminology was unclear, but it's being interpreted to mean that Microsoft would provide a loan that would at some point convert to preferred stock.
This could prove complicated for Dell. Dell currently has a substantial Windows PC business; it's still the third biggest PC vendor in the world. But this is a business that is suffering on the back of extended upgrade cycles and thriving tablet sales. The reported motivation for going private is to give the company room to "reinvent" itself. This reinvention might see it try to break away from its dependence on Windows PC sales, just as IBM did in 2005 when it sold its consumer PC division to Lenovo, and as Leo Apotheker intended to do during his brief and tumultuous tenure as CEO of HP.
Such a move may be good for Dell, but it's less clear that it would be good for Microsoft. Microsoft's investment could give it the opportunity to push back against such plans.
Investing in Dell might also cause some disquiet among Microsoft's other PC partners. Acer, in particular, has already voiced its dissatisfaction that the software giant has decided to enter the tablet market with Surface. Having a vested interest in one PC OEM in particular might be viewed in a dim light.
However, this is not the first time that Microsoft has invested in a company that builds computers—in 1997 it invested $150 million in Apple.

Drunk Teen Disguised As Flower Pot Uses Chainsaw To Rob Gas Station
Via Gawker reports:
Who hasn't done this before: Early Monday morning, a teenager allegedly got drunk as hell, put a flower pot on his head, grabbed a chainsaw, and tried to rob a 7-Eleven.
At about 4:30 a.m. Monday, Steven Frank Steele allegedly entered a 7-Eleven attached to a gas station in Ipswich, Australia and tried to attack two store clerks with a chainsaw, which was running at the time. Terrified, the clerks fled to backroom and called police,
Undeterred, the teen smashed a window with the chainsaw, knocked over two shelfs of snacks, and demanded money.
When the clerks refused to hand over any cash, Steele allegedly pulled down his pants, mooned them, stole a soda, stormed out of the store, and damaged a car in the parking lot.
A police officer responding to the call spotted the flower pot-clad teen walking down the road and detained him. The chainsaw was found in a bush not far from the store.
Steele was arrested and charged with one count of armed robbery, two counts of willful damage, one count of going armed to cause fear, one count of public nuisance and one count of possessing suspected stolen property.
Does he have relatives in Florida?

I have been awared the Stylish Blogger Award by Colette of NH Design Blog. Isn't that a pip?!
I would like to hand the award on to Barbara Sarudy of It's About Time and Janet Blyberg of ~ JCB ~, two of my blog gurus, leading by example.
As part of this award one is supposed to share some stylish things. I would like to use this opportunity to show a few more images (which I hope are reasonably stylish) relating to 'Japaneseness' and 'Britishness', in response to the throughtful comments on a recent post on the subject of preconceptions.
The images in this and the earlier post are all of artefacts that have been taken out of their original context and appropriated by someone for whom they were not originally intended. In all these cases this was done lovingly and with admiration, but inevitably the meaning of the objects changed along the way, although that might not be obvious at first glance. One might call this elusive pattern of change the secret life of objects.
The Japanese artefacts at Snowshill were originally made either for the Japanese market or for the export trade. They must have been bought by a British visitor or entrepreneur, probably sold again in Britain at some point and then picked up by Charles Wade, who was continuously adding to his Aladdin's cave at Snowshill in the 1920s and 1930s.
Wade admired Japanese objects as examples of fine craftsmanship, which he saw as being in decline in Britain. That response drove his collecting mania, which has made Snowshill what it is today. But the previous lives of these objects are interesting as well. Was the suit of armour sold by an impoverished samurai family after the abolition of the military class in 1871? Was the wind god part of the decoration of a temple, and if so why was it disposed of?
The Japanese garden at Kingston Lacy was created for Henrietta Bankes around 1910. Even though she clearly wanted a 'genuine' Japanese garden it was inevitably influenced by its time and place.
Furthermore, its current appearance is a recent restoration, after it had become overgrown and almost lost. It was recreated as faithfully as possibly, but inevitably the result is slightly different from the 'original' – which itself was a recreation on foreign soil of a Japanese original. Nevertheless these echoes, and echoes of echoes, are now part of the genius loci, the spirit of place, of Kingston Lacy.
At Hill Top Beatrix Potter preserved the old Lake District farmhouse and collected local furniture and furnishings. She played an important role in preserving parts of the Lake District, but at the same time her view was inevitably that of a well-off, philanthropically-minded outsider. Originally cottage gardens and interiors like this would not have been quite as pretty as she made them, with her artist's eye.
We owe Beatrix Potter a great debt of gratitude, but at the same time we should not forget that her vision of the place is a particular one, coloured by her Edwardian aestheticism. Today, of course, Hill Top receives many visitors from far and wide (including from places like Japan), who know it through the illustrations in Potter's famous children's books, and of course they see it through a slightly different lens again. And so the secret life of objects continues.

In a crazy modern twist on the classic Spaghetti western genre, Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter takes all the gun-slinging action into outer space, and steps nonchalantly into the spurs of the strong, silent anti-hero, hell-bent on justice.
After being framed for the death of his space-cruising compadres and wrongly imprisoned for ten years, Griffin emerges from maximum security prison feeling, understandably, a little piqued. The lone space ranger decides the only way to clear his name and vent his anger is to go into the bounty hunting business, and locate the people responsible for putting him behind bars. This is where you come in, taking on the role of Griffin, scouring the universe in search of bad guys, and generally looking mean 'n' moody - ace!
The action is largely mission-based, so you'll be charged with completing a variety of tasks that require a combination of stealth, skill and big guns. There are ten different weapons to get acquainted with, and you'll find yourself wielding some spectacularly heavy artillery on your travels. Amongst the ballistic goodies on offer are Mace's trusty shotgun, which you'll find useful for close quarter encounters, and an assault rifle that doubles as a grenade launcher - always handy.
The missions are based both on land and in space, so you'll use all your FPS expertise when tackling evil-types on terra firma, and your superior flying skills when the action goes intergalactic. Speaking of which, there's the opportunity to pilot six different ships along the way, with everything from alien fighters to massive carriers there for the flying.
Featuring solid, no-messing shoot 'em up action, seamlessly spliced with flight-based manouevres, Mace Griffin manages to blend two great genres in an entirely convincing and effective way. Oh, and adding to the general authenticity of proceedings are the gravelly tones of rock-god Henry Rollins, who voices Mace himself. Hurrah!

Israel and Iran have been sparring over Iran's nuclear development for months, but, after news leaked the U.S has been quietly trying to diffuse any potential of an attack, a warning was issued that U.S. bases might be included in the retaliation should anything happen.
Israel's been debating a strike against Iran's controversial nuclear facilities for weeks. Ban Ki-Moon announced he was attending the Nonaligned Summit in Iran last week despite rumors of an impending Israeli strike against Iran's nuclear facilities. On Monday morning, the New York Times reported that the U.S. have publicly and privately been making small moves to try and prevent and Israeli strike against Iran, while also trying to discourage Iran from furthering their nuclear program. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said recently that Iran must see "a clear red line and such determination," otherwise "it will not stop the progress of its nuclear project."
But now Reuters reports a Hezbollah representative said if Israel does make the decision to attack Iran's nuclear facilities, then American bases in the area would be included in the responding strikes. "A decision has been taken to respond and the response will be very great," Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon, told a Beirut-based television station. "The response will not be just inside the Israeli entity - American bases in the whole region could be Iranian targets," he said. "If Israel targets Iran, America bears responsibility."

Paris Arrondissement Map - Palais-Bourbon
Designated in the mid-19th century, the arrondissements of Paris spiral out from the city center like the segments of a nautilus shell. Each boasts its own character, its own trove of landmarks and its own passionate devotees. Our maps show 9 of the 20, detailing the streets and boulevards of each. Expert printing recreates the age-mellowed appearance of the antique maps that inspired them.
