New York's Legal Landmarks takes you on a tour of Gotham through the eyes of a history-loving New York City lawyer. You'll visit courthouses past and present that were sites of sensational trials (both actual and in film), locations that figured in the nation's constitutional history, law firms where great Americans practiced law and the homes, schools and final resting places of Supreme Court Justices. Whether you want to stroll down the Lower East Side's Attorney Street or re-open the cold case of Judge Crater's disappearance, New York's Legal Landmarks is the guidebook for you.
New in the Second Edition
With over 50 pages added, the second edition incorporates a number of additional New York City locations of events in legal history, both significant and quirky, including:
Robert Pigott has been practicing law in New York City for over 25 years, and, though he began walking at an unremarkable age, has been exploring its streets for over 50 years. A specialist in non-profit law, he has worked in private practice and the New York Attorney General's Charities Bureau, and he is now the general counsel of a 100-year-old New York City non-profit organization. He went to elemnentary and junior high schools in Queens, to high school on East 15th Street and to law school on West 116th Stree. He lives in Manhattan, one block from where he was born, with his wife and two children.
Relying on extensive surviving original records, this book analyzes the November 1851 trial in the federal circuit court of Robert Morris, the second black admitted to practice in Massachusetts, for rescuing a fugitive slave from the custody of the U.S. marshal in the federal courtroom in Boston. It demonstrates that Justice Benjamin Robbins Curtis, a supporter of Daniel Webster and the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 presiding under a recess appointment, made two critical rulings against Morris that were at odds with existing precedents. Finally, the book contextualizes Morris's trial among the other trials for this rescue, the prosecutions for the attempt to rescue Anthony Burns, another fugitive slave, in 1854, and the Supreme Court's decision in Dred Scott in 1857.

Albert M. Rosenblatt and Julia C. Rosenblatt, editors
Explores the influence of Dutch law and jurisprudence in colonial America.
No society can function without laws, that set of established practices and expectations that guide the way people get along with one another and relate to ruling authorities. Although much has been written about the English roots of American law and jurisprudence, little attention has been paid until recently to the legacy left by the Dutch. In Opening Statements, a broad spectrum of eminent scholars examine the legal heritage that New Netherland bequeathed to New York in the seventeenth century. Even after the transfer of the colony to England placed New York under English Common Law rather than Dutch Roman Law, the Dutch system of jurisprudence continued to influence evolving American concepts of governance, liberty, women's rights, and religious freedom in ways that still resonate in today's legal culture.
"Opening Statements addresses only a short chapter in the long history of America. Its judgments will not be without dispute, but then, as the eminent Dutch historian Pieter Geyl once wrote: 'History is an argument without end.' There can be no doubt, however, as to the value of those seeds of freedom that were deeply planted in New Netherland. They produced a revolutionary harvest that causes us to appreciate what the Dutch inspired. A small country, the Netherlands—yes—but always a powerful ally for America in the unending struggle for a well-ordered society where freedom and justice prevail." ~ from the Foreword by William J. vanden Heuvel
"Opening Statements is a richly illustrated volume that offers a tantalizing and sometimes surprising view of jurisprudence in the Dutch colonial period and its lasting impact on modern life and law. A litigious people, the Dutch in New Netherland were also practical and pragmatic, turning to the law to settle disputes and to redress grievances. Opening Statements helps us understand what the Dutch rule of law meant to them, how it translated within the British legal system that was imposed after 1664, and what of it has become permanent legacy in America's legal and constitutional system. The essays are clearly and informatively written and provide keen insight into the character of the Dutch colonial system, the values of those who lived within it, the way in which those values and cultural traditions informed their legal system and, most importantly, into the elements of that system that are still evident today." ~ Christine W. Ward, New York State Archives
"A fascinating voyage through the intriguing subject of the Dutch influence on our law, jurisprudence, and the New York we know today! Remembering the English takeover in 1664, I find myself again and again asking 'What if?' as I conclude each essay by a world-class scholar (whose ample footnotes can carry the reader into far deeper waters), a pleasure cruise enhanced by a breathtaking array of magnificent illustrations. Yes, this captivating volume proves beyond doubt that the subject of the Dutch influence on New York deserves more than a once-a-century celebration." ~ Judith S. Kaye, Chief Judge of the State of New York (Ret.)
Albert M. Rosenblatt is a Judge (Ret.) of the New York Court of Appeals, a Judicial Fellow at New York University, and of counsel to McCabe & Mack.

Frisky Garden: Vegetables That Will Make You Blush
Maybe it's that by this time of year the heat is getting to everyone's heads. Or gardeners are fed up with constant toiling and want to cut loose a little bit. Whatever it is, it seems we all get the giggles when it comes to frisky finds in the garden:
You have to use your imagination a bit on some of these and on others... not so much. Are we just immature or do others think naughty vegetable shapes are funny, too?
Have any frisky finds from your garden? Share in the comments!

Album Spotlight: Dierks Bentley, 'Riser'
The sonic differences between 'Riser' and Dierks Bentley's five previous studio albums (excluding 'Up on the Ridge') are subtle, but important. The Arizona-raised singer drops the rumbling, rambling, Bakersfield-inspired licks that made up many of his biggest hits and adds great lyrical depth.
'Riser' is by far Bentley's most personal album. 'I Hold On,' 'Damn These Dreams' and the title track are vulnerable and imperfect, which is in a way, perfect. Melodic choruses don't always snap neatly into place. At times, his message is left dangling over a more polished arrangement, like a great piece of outsider art at a high end gallery.
'Here on Earth' is the best example of this. Sonically, this is the greatest stretch from anything Bentley has done previously. Delicate strings — like a mandolin that needs tightening — play from the right side while a thick bass drives a moody rhythm section. Over and over again on 'Riser,' Bentley and producer Ross Copperman create a unique orchestra to back his poems.
That's truly what the best songs on the album feel like. They're journal entries read with unmatched passion over an industrial bluegrass sonic palette. One realizes 'Bourbon in Kentucky' is a much more powerful heartbreak song than it ever got credit for. Suddenly, Bentley's experiment works.
A few mainstream, easily digestible cuts like 'Party Girls' and 'Drunk on a Plane' tip a hat at the rowdy style the 38-year-old singer cut his teeth releasing. But this is an album for fans of 'Come a Little Closer,' 'Every Mile a Memory' and 'Home.' After the upbeat 'Back Porch,' 'Hurt Somebody' bookends 'Riser' with another tormented love song. This singer's many varied influences began forming a unique sound on the 'Home' album. 'Riser' is the next generation.
Key Tracks: 'Bourbon in Kentucky,' 'Here on Earth,' 'Riser'
The Bono: U2 frontman Bono got to hear 'Here on Earth' and really enjoyed it. He thought Bentley should add a more direct religious reference, but ultimately decided that was already implied. Bentley says he should have done it, as then he could say he had a co-write with Bono.
Did You Know?: The road trip Bentley refers to in 'I Hold On' is his move to Nashville. The singer and his dad hopped in the old white pickup truck fans have heard so much about and made the 1700-mile trip. He still drives that truck today.

On Saturday, Chargers owner Alex Spanos expanded the club of nonagenarian NFL owners from two to three. Unlike Ralph Wilson of the Bills and Bud Adams of the Titans, Spanos has family members who are ready and willing to take over the family business, well into the future.
Actually, they already have. As explained by Michael Gehlken of U-T San Diego, son Dean Spanos (63) continues to run the team, and grandsons A.G. Spanos and John Spanos have positioned themselves to succeed Dean, in time. Possibly in not much time.
35-year-old A.G., the executive V.P. and CEO, specializes in business matters. 33-year-old John, the executive V.P. of football operations, has developed into a personnel specialist.
Yes, it all oozes of nepotism. And, yes, that's the way Alex Spanos, who suffers from dementia, would want it.
"He always has been a firm believer in nepotism," Dean Spanos told Gehlken. "A lot of people frown on it. He takes the reverse perspective: It could be the greatest thing in the world. . . .
"The thing I think my dad would be very proud of today is I believe everyone in our family that is working in this business or other businesses have earned that right. They were not given that right. Dad was a big believer of that. He wouldn't do it if they didn't earn it. Nobody got a free ride."
That's not an easy feat to pull off. Family ties open doors. They also invite a lower level of ambition and performance. Apart from the fact that the "employee" comes from a family with plenty of money and thus a reduced natural incentive to apply nose to grindstone, people typically don't like to fire family members. So if A.G. and/or John weren't getting it done, would Dean cut them loose?
For the Spanos family, those issues may not arise.
"Our family has so much into it," John Spanos told Gehlken. "It's a lifelong family investment and passion."
If Dean has concerns, he's not articulating them publicly.
"Watching them grow into this business, for me, I couldn't ask for anything greater in my life," Dean Spanos told Gehlken. "It's one of the great joys of my life. I just can't tell you how much I look to the future. They've really worked hard. They've earned everything in my mind that justifies, at some point and time, they will be running this organization — and probably not in the too far distant future.
"I look at it from this perspective: They're going to be better and smarter and probably more successful, however you want to define success short of a Super Bowl. They're made for this business, and they've earned it."
Regardless of whether the grandsons have earned it or lucked into it or lucked into it then earned it, Alex Spanos has achieved something that few other NFL franchises have — two generations beyond him will continue to carry the torch, which means that the Chargers likely won't be changing hands for decades to come.

This building was inspired by the architecture of the U.S. Treasury Department Building, constructed in Washington, D.C., in the mid 19th century. Unlike the solid masonry construction of the Treasury Department Building, Louisville's federal building featured modern materials such as concrete and steel columns and beams under a limestone facade. The main facade has 18 engaged columns (columns attached to a wall), a rusticated (made up of stone blocks separated by deep horizontal grooves) ground floor with arched windows, and projecting pavilions (sections of a building) with free-standing columns and a pediment (triangular section formed by a low-pitched gable roof) at each end.

[Illinois] CNST 2012: Opening Remarks
Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
CNST Workshop 2012
May 2–3, 2012
Showcasing University of Illinois research in bionanotechnology/nanomedicine, nanoelectronics/nanophotonics, and nanomaterials/nanomanufacturing, leading to cross-campus and industry collaborations
National Center for Supercomputing Applications Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Workshop Premise
The broad objective of the University of Illinois Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) workshop is to showcase University of Illinois research in bionanotechnology/ nanomedicine, nanoelectronics/nanophotonics, nanomaterials/nanomanufacturing, and computational nanotechnology/nanomechanics.
The general framework of the nanotechnology workshop is similar to those held on campus since 2003; which were all well attended by industry and academia. Some of those interactions have since then led to industry and cross-campus collaborations. The CNST-led forums and workshops have contributed tremendously toward the formation of multidisciplinary teams leading to the establishment of multimillion dollar new nanotechnology centers on-campus. The workshop will provide a forum for industry interactions and collaborations. The workshop brings together campus community (faculty, graduate and undergraduates, administration) from UIUC and other academic institutions, and industry engaged in cutting-edge research. A workshop panel will discuss the roadmap to future direction of research and development in nanotechnology and regional partnerships.
Established in 2001–02, the University of Illinois Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) is the premier center for nanotechnology research, education and training, and entrepreneurial and outreach activities.
CNST draws its strength from working as a collaboratory involving the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, Roy J. Carver Biotechnology Center, Coordinated Science Laboratory,Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory, Institute for Genomic Biology, Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory, Center for Nanoscale Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical, Manufacturing Systems, National Center for Supercomputing Applications, the Schools of Chemical Sciences and of Molecular and Cellular Biology, and other multidisciplinary centers.
It brings together nanoscale research from across the campus, drawing faculty from engineering, chemistry, physics, biology, neuroscience, agriculture, medicine, and other areas. The center envisions seamless integration of research from materials to devices to systems and applications. CNST is uniquely located to harness the entrepreneurial and technical spirit in downstate Illinois, with ongoing linkages with the University Research Park, the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, and the State legislature. Industrial and international linkages have also been initiated through multidisciplinary centers. In addition, CNST has embarked on developing a curriculum for nanotechnology education, which will transcend a number of campus departments and units. Exceptional students with interest in nanotechnology projects have been awarded fellowships, as the center prepares the next generation workforce. CNST-led efforts have led to leveraging of existing nanotechnology research labs into also hands-on training sites for molecular and cellular biology, mechanobiology, micro and nanofabrication, and enabling technologies, and tissue engineering.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A former Israeli soldier and member of the furthest reaches of Israel's left-wing establishment writes in a telling piece for the Times of Israel about how the overwhelming hostility he encountered during a speaking tour in America completely altered his outlook on the conflict.
Tasked with speaking on campuses and at churches in the Pacific Northwest, Hen Mazzig thought that his liberal, pro-peace credentials would provide him with an open door to reasonably present and discuss what is going on in the region.
It is a mistake many Israelis have made, and like them, Mazzig quickly discovered that to most of Israel's antagonists, it mattered not that he opposed the so-called "occupation" and truly cared for the well-being of the Palestinians.
As Mazzig found out, what animates this movement is not legitimate criticism of Israel and Zionism, as its members claim, but rather anti-Semitism.
"When I served as a soldier in the West Bank, I got used to having ugly things said to me, but nothing prepared me for the misinformation, demonization of Israel, and the gut-wrenching, anti-Israel, anti-Semitic hostility expressed by many students, professors, church members," he wrote.
Mazzig continued: "I never expected to encounter such hatred and lies. I never believed that such anti-Semitism still existed, especially in the U.S. I never knew that the battlefield was not just Gaza, the West Bank, and hostile Middle Eastern countries wanting to destroy Israel and kill our citizens and soldiers. It is also here in America, where a battle must be waged against prejudice and lies."
But what clearly concerned the young emissary even more was the lack of a strong response from the American Jewish community.
"Most mainstream American Jews are completely oblivious to this ugly movement and the threat it poses," Mazzig said, noting that this has been a dangerous pattern for Jewish communities throughout history.

Fox isn't burying the bones just yet.
The network announced Wednesday that it has renewed its long-running drama "Bones" for a 10th season -- oh, and it's moving the show once again to Mondays, too.
Currently in its ninth season, with a new episode airing this Friday, the series will return to Mondays beginning March 10. The renewal announcement will help the crime procedural, starring Emily Deschanel as a forensic anthropologist and David Boreanaz as an FBI special agent, reach its milestone 200th episode.
BEST TV OF 2013 Lloyd | McNamara
"Over the course of nine seasons, 'Bones' has grown from a hit crime procedural into a beloved pillar of our lineup that resonates with fans in a way that only the best of shows can," said Fox's chairman of entertainment, Kevin Reilly. "Our viewers have embraced Emily, David and the entire cast and characters of 'Bones' as their very own, and I think they are going to love what [executive producers] Hart Hanson and Stephen Nathan have planned for Season 10!"
"Bones" has jumped around the network's primetime grid several times during its run. Last fall, it moved to Friday nights at 8 p.m., all the while managing to maintain some of its stride. The current season is averaging 8.6 million viewers and a 2.4 rating in the key demographic of adults ages 18 to 49.

My guess would be because they have direct access to the rainbow egg, while the other backyard territories don't.
Exactly. This way everyone has the same number of troops to go through to get a rainbow egg.

MIT Student Research Project to Identify the Relationship of Public Participation Tools
As contribution to the preparation of a UNITAR Tool Kit to strengthen capacities in developing countries to develop and implement public involvement plans for environmental decision-making, UNITAR has engaged with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to undertake preparatory empirical and analytical research. The research aimed at obtaining a better understanding about the range and types of public participation instruments typically applied in environmental decision-making and the relationship of democratic process features and decision-outcomes from an environmental justice perspective. Using data and analyses from developed and developing countries, the final research report seeks to identify types of public participation techniques used by governments in diverse decision-contexts, as well as key determinants of successful participatory processes that can enhance environmental justice.
Please see our publications page for the Final Research Project Report.

Don't Hide From Your Dental Problems – CBC Can Help!
I recently learned about Columbia Basin College's Dental Hygiene Clinic and think it's the coolest thing I've heard about all month.
It's like a beauty college for teeth! CBC has a dental hygiene program where students earn an Associates degree. To help them perfect the skills they learn in the program, CBC has a clinic where local residents can obtain low-cost dental care and preventative work for children, teens and adults. All the students are well-trained and work under the supervision of professional hygienists and dentists. Initial screenings are free to determine the cost of procedures needed. They even offer translation services!
The advances in dentistry are so wonderful. Prior to good schools like CBC training people to be gentle and sympathetic, dentists used to do some pretty weird things. Check some of them out below:
They used to encourage people to swish pee to whiten teeth. It was called Urine Therapy.
It's true. In first-century Rome, urine was thought to whiten teeth. I wonder if Bear Grylls has pearly whites.
The Dental Lab Articulator – a Picture is worth a thousand words:
This piece of antique equipment looks like some torture contraption used in the medieval days.
Barbers Were The First Dentists
In the early days of dentistry, barbers would file down teeth and then proceed to dab them with nitric acid in order to whiten teeth. In the end, this would just cause teeth to decay much quicker, which is ironic since they would pull rotted teeth as well. You know the saying, "If you stick around the barber shop, you're going to get a haircut." But if the barber is also my dentist using absurd techniques… I suppose I am bound to get a tooth pulled, too.
The Dental Mouth Gag:
This dental accessory is a gadget every dentist could do with out. The mouth gag even looks like it has a mini saw attached to it. Just the appearance of this device is enough to keep my mouth open… because I'd likely be calling for help.
The First Toothbrush With Bristles Used Hair From Animals:
The first toothbrushes with bristles were invented in China around the year 1498. These toothbrushes used the hair from hogs, horses, and badgers in order to make the bristles. Nothing cleans the mouth better than a mouth full of hair.

Feel the Burn
Kudos to Van Smith and Tom Chalkley for last week's article on the proposed waste-to-energy incinerator ("Trash Talk," Feature, July 23).
Baltimore is already in a public- and environmental-health crisis! Surveys place us in the nation's top ten for air pollution, rats, and crime! The reduction to once-a-week garbage collection, combined with city-issued plastic trash cans that are easily gnawed through by rodents, without corresponding compost pick-up has created a travesty in our alleys and lots. Imagine disposing of a bushel of crabs when your pickup day was that morning—in August! We found summer in Mexico City (known for its air pollution) to have much better air quality than Baltimore!
One thing not mentioned in the article is garbage being brought in from other cities to feed a hungry incinerator. I have witnessed a line of garbage trucks from Philadelphia lined up at BRESCO!
Thanks again for opening a dialogue on our air quality. When flying into our city, a sickly yellow cloud is the first thing one sees.
Daniel Van Allen
I currently work in Baltimore City as a sub-contractor. I work with a company who fixes and installs sewer lines. I work around Southwest Baltimore. And I cannot help but read the City Paper article that was written by Van Smith about the trash talk.
I am so upset with the way people live in the city, with piles and piles of trash higher than six feet tall and children playing in or around. It's so depressing. The mayor really needs to get it together and help more than just one area. I wish there was a way to get people together and help clean up the city. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Leesa Thomas
The article discusses the issues with waste-to-energy incineration near schools. It also discusses the idea of zero waste where no waste is generated because it is all recycled. This is a laudable goal which I fully support. The problem arises when people fail to change their behaviors so that zero waste becomes a reality. Until people stop littering, recycle properly, stop using convenience items which are all thrown away and stop consuming so much, trash will continue. Also, in my 35 years of trash management experience, it is just as hard to site a recycling facility as a disposal facility. No one wants a waste management facility by their home.
I am the person that puts the mental into environmental because it makes me mental to see how little people care about their own waste disposal practices. If you can't carry an empty bottle to a recycling bin, how can you expect an entire city to become the home of zero waste? May we please see some local responsibility for managing trash properly?

Kid Beat
I just wanted to say THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH for releasing that article about that "non-profit," annoying, phony, yellow-shirt wearing, "rec center," panhandler kids and "parents" prowling the corners and hassling drivers on the intersection of North Avenue and West Mount Royal Avenue ("Down on the Corner," Feature, June 24)!
I am a resident and employee of the Reservoir Hill area and saw them every single day during the spring and summer sessions, and would get harassed by them for years and multiple times a day. It was between that and getting harassed by a vendor to buy teddy bears. I would eventually end up avoiding the begging corner altogether until they stopped coming around during the cold weather.
Needless to say, the next day after the article was posted the intersection was completely free of the pesky kids and I haven't seen them since. However, there is a new small group of kids (possibly from that yellow-shirt group) who are still panhandling, but not as bad as the yellow shirts did. Last week, I actually watched from my window as one of the boys from this new group of kids (very heavyweight boy) stood and paced back and forth in the middle of a lane of oncoming traffic, as cars flew by him. I'm not sure if this is a tactic to get people to give him attention for money but I could NOT believe that this kid just stayed in the flow, impeding traffic! These cars had a green light and must have been going 35 miles an hour and this kid wasn't going to move. Maybe in his head this was a video game, but in reality it just makes people more angry and most likely uninterested in shelling out any pocket change. Especially the cars who had to wait trying to switch lanes because this kid was standing in their lane and wouldn't move but, when the cars finally switched lanes to pass by him they got caught at the red light. The thing that baffled me was he still tried to ask for money from them.
Note to kid(s): Think of a new way to get your money. I had a paper-route job at age 11. YOU CAN DO IT TOO! I promise! Plus, the adults won't take a cut of your money either. I mean, you're outside all day anyways, why not make money the legit way?
Note to the "parents": Take some parenting classes and re-evaluate your priorities and values because letting YOUR kids dart across four lanes of traffic to get you money makes you look sad and pathetic! My parents would have never allowed that! Maybe you all should get a job as well.
Anyways, thanks again for posting that article!

I was pleased to see Johnny a few times in my lifetime. He opened up for G. Thorogood in the 80's in Columbia, MD. George had a hard time measuring up to that. The last time was in Gretna Fest, NOLA '06. Eddie Money, then Johnny, he was sitting in a chair on stage. Edgar played with him and they were jammin' for over an hour.

You, my friend are having quite a year. The two best quotes of 2014 in the Baltimore media will probably go down as: "I know, but I'm not interested in that.

Do you have any indication that such boards might be available with a fast PCI slot for Gigabit ethernet? The frustrating item for us appears to be the apparent mandatory tradeoff between memory and network bandwidths in the currently available motherboards. (I.e. to get a fast PCI slot, one apparently needs a dual xeon board which will split 3.2 Gb/s memory bandwidth between (possibly) 2 cpus -- to get 4.2 Gb/s or higher memory bandwidth per cpu, one needs a single cpu board with either RAMBUS or dual channel DDR which invariably seem to have only PCI 33Mhz/32bit slots.)

WASHINGTON- Herman Wallace, a former Black Panther who has spent 40 years in solitary confinement for murdering a prison guard, is imploring the courts to free him before he dies of cancer.
The 72-year-old is one of the "Angola three," whose cases have drawn international attention because of the long stretches they have spent in solitary.
They are named after the notorious Louisiana state prison where they were held, known as Angola because it was built on the site of a former plantation worked by slaves from Africa.
The three embraced the Black Panther movement while already in prison for lesser crimes.
They were active in organizing sit-ins and other protests to demand desegregation of the prison and better protection of inmates against abuses.
At the time, the prison had no black guards and a reputation as one of the most violent in the United States.
"Black Pantherism was clearly very unpopular in Louisiana in the 70's. It was the reason why they were suspected in the first place," his lawyer Carine Williams told AFP.
"Even today, they were held so long in solitary confinement because they practiced Black Pantherism. That has definitely impacted the misconduct in this case," she said.
Wallace, who was in prison for armed robbery, and fellow Panther Albert Woodfox were sentenced to life after being convicted of stabbing a prison guard to death.
A third inmate, Robert King, was never charged but blamed for the murder nonetheless and like Wallace and Woodfox placed in solitary confinement.
King was released after 29 years in prison, after his original conviction on an unrelated charge was overturned.
According to Wallace's defense counsel, the charges against him rest on the "incoherent" testimony of four prisoners who later retracted their statements.
No fingerprints taken from the scene matched those of the men convicted of the crime, and witnesses said they were working in another part of the prison.
In July, Wallace wrote to US District Judge Brian Jackson to plead for an expedited review of his case, noting that it had been three and a half years since he had filed a habeas corpus petition and no action had been taken.
"I'm thinking somehow my case file has been misplaced or forgotten about," he wrote.
His lawyers argued that Wallace's health was rapidly deteriorating.
"Wallace's claims of constitutional error in this case are exceptionally persuasive and should prevail," they said.
"Finally, and most importantly, Wallace has recently been diagnosed with cancer. Further delay in the effective and expeditious administration of judicial review in this case may very well result in manifest injustice."
Jackson agreed to an expedited review of Wallace's case, but a month later denied his request for medical parole, which prosecutors had vehemently opposed.
"The state will utilize every means to prevent Wallace's release," US District Attorney Hillar Moore said at the time, stressing that Wallace's conviction of murder had been upheld twice by Louisiana courts.
"He fails to show the existence of exceptional circumstances… making him deserving of special treatment," he said.
Since being hospitalized, Wallace has taken to the Internet to plead for his release.
"I have been given two months to live. I want the world to know that I am an innocent man and that Albert Woodfox is innocent as well," he wrote on the "Angola Three" blog on September 10.
Two doctors have joined Amnesty International in calling for Wallace's release on grounds that his care in the prison hospital is inadequate and his health is failing.
"Wallace has a very poor prognosis, and he is declining in health even more quickly than I had anticipated," said Williams, who saw his client on Wednesday, noting he has lost more than 30 pounds in weight since June.
"This deterioration points to a very grim prognosis."
Oncologist Dwight McKee said Wallace's release was "literally a life or death issue."
Contacted by AFP, the Louisiana's governor's office and the Louisiana state attorney general refused requests for comment.

ASIS&T Celebrates Its 75th;
Ignores Unexpected Guest Hurricane Sandy
While hurricane Sandy battered cities up and down the Atlantic coast in late October, ASIS&T loyalists hunkered down in Baltimore to celebrate their Societys 75th anniversary at the 2012 Annual Meeting.
We had some no-shows because of the weather, said Dick Hill, executive director, but for the most part people came to town and we continued with our Annual Meeting as planned.
The final count indicated that perhaps 80 people who had pre-registered didnt make it to the meeting, but for the 85% who did arrive, as well as the nearly four dozen who came and registered onsite, the 75th anniversary celebration of the American Society for Information Science and Technology was an exciting substance- and fun-filled success.
The Annual Meeting activities began with two days of pre-conference seminars and workshops. Among these was a special ASIS&T 75th Anniversary Event entitled History of ASIS&T and Information Science and Technology Worldwide, featuring a keynote address by W. Boyd Rayward, professor emeritus in the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois. Organized by the 75th Anniversary Task Force, co-chaired by Toni Carbo and Robert Williams, the session featured more than a dozen papers from authors around the world covering such topics as the evolution of the field of information science, historical contexts of technology innovations and impacts, and development of foundational ideas and theories in information science. Nearly 100 attendees were in the audience for this significant session.
Making Lemonade
Though for the most part, the ASIS&T 75th Anniversary Annual Meeting weathered the storm that brutalized neighboring communities, a few sessions were cancelled when participants were unable to make it into Baltimore. But recognizing an opportunity to convert misfortune into lemonade, ASIS&T will turn at least one of the cancelled sessions into a webinar for ASIS&T members and the information community-at-large. Details will be forthcoming, but look for news at the ASIS&T website and in future issues of the Bulletin.
Annual Meeting Coverage
In keeping with recent tradition, our photographic and substantive coverage of the 2012 ASIS&T Annual Meeting will be included in the February/March 2013 issue of the Bulletin. But here, youll find a list of the winners of the 2012 ASIS&T Annual Awards for which more details will be provided in the next issue.

News about ASIS&T Members
Former ASIS&T president Nancy Roderer, director of the Welch Medical Library and the Division of Health Sciences Informatics (DHSI), will retire, effective January 15, 2013. Also a professor in the Schools of Medicine and Public Health, Nancy has been at Johns Hopkins since 2000. Nancy was instrumental in creating an educational program at the School of Medicine, which includes a Ph.D. in health sciences informatics, two masters degrees and three certificate programs. Nancy will join her husband David in retirement and will continue to participate selectively in teaching and research projects.
Miles Efron, assistant professor in the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, is principal investigator on a half-million dollar grant from the National Science Foundation for a three-year project to investigate the role time plays in information retrieval, specifically in the use and functionality of search engines. In addition, Miles was named featured alumnus by the Alumni Association Board of the School of Library and Information Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded Rutgers researcher Paul Kantor nearly $1.0 million as part of an initiative to extract useful information from so-called "big data" massive collections of data from sources such as scientific documents, orbiting instruments, digital images, social media streams and business transactions. The Rutgers grant is part of a $3 million research effort in collaboration with Cornell and Princeton to improve the accuracy and relevance of complex scientific literature searches. Kantor is a professor in the Department of Library and Information Sciences in the School of Communication and Information, where he heads the LAIR Laboratory. The researchers from the three institutions have been working together for over a year and are putting the finishing touches on the experimental system that will be used in the research.
News about ASIS&T SIGs
SIG/Classification Research (SIG/CR) in collaboration with Information Today, University of Washington Libraries Digital Initiatives and the graduate assistants at the University of Washington Information School announces the launch of ACRO: Advances in Classification Research Online, a new web-accessible collection of the proceedings from the annual ASIS&T SIG/Classification Research Workshops. ACRO is indexed in Google Scholar and in Elsevier indexing products.
SIG/Social Informatics (SIG/SI) has announced plans to publish Social Informatics: Past, Present and Future, featuring papers presented at the SIGs 8th Annual SI Research Symposium at the ASIS&T 75th anniversary meeting in October. The symposium offered 10 presentations and several posters. The published volume will be edited by symposium organizers, Pnina Fichman and Howard Rosenbaum, both of the School of Library and Information Science at Indiana University.
SIG/Information Policy (SIG/IFP) is coming back to life after a somewhat dormant period. Reinvigorated with new leadership, SIG/IFP will continue its mission dedicated to awareness of legislation and regulation affecting the information field and/or members of the information professions. It provides venues which encourage research on and discussion of current and emergent information policies as they affect society. It will promote awareness of state/provincial, national, and international policies of public and private entities. With plans on tap for next years activities, the group is seeking additional members as well as volunteers for its social media/communications officer and for a webmaster.
SIG/IFP is interested in both social repercussions of information policy and the logistics of the legal aspects. Information policy is a part of every special interest group within ASIS&T. Records and knowledge managers have rules, regulations and cumulative knowledge to manage; international information issues teem with information policy problems; and the health care industry is subject to very detailed laws regarding use and privacy of health information. Every aspect of our lives, our world, is affected by information policy. SIG/IFP is the place for individuals interested in these and other related topics, as well as for SIGs seeking collaborative projects on information policy issues. Contact Brandi Loveday, current chair, at firstname.lastname@example.com
SIG/Information Needs, Seeking and Use (SIG/USE) has announced the winners of its annual awards in a variety of categories, as follows:
Best Paper Award: June Ahn, Mega Subramaniam,

We asked our panel:
Are Obama's big spending, borrowing, tarping and government owning policies losing voter support?
Watch "The Kudlow Report" tonight at 7pm ET and find out what out caucus members have to say about Obama's spending.
The Kudlow Caucus Breakdown
We asked our panel:
Joe Battipaglia
Market Strategist, Stifel Nicolaus
Everyone wants clean air, universal healthcare and an economy free of risks for the consumer until the tax bill is presented and the debts are tallied up. Furthermore, the public is becoming more and more uncomfortable with the extent of nationalizations and takeovers that are being shielded from public scrutiny without exit plans.
Jerry Bowyer Chief Economist, Benchmark Financial Network
The polls show little support for UAW bailouts, bank nationalizations and deficit tripling. Despite his considerable charm and almost daily TV appearances (or maybe because of them) even his personal approval is starting to drop. Lincoln was right: you can't fool all of the people all of the time.
Keith Boykin Fmr. Clinton White House Aide / The Daily Voice Editor
Obama is re-living Ronald Reagan's dilemma, when unemployment soared from 7.2 percent in 1981 to 10.8 percent in 1982. Polls show some skepticism about government, but Obama -- like Reagan -- remains very popular, and unlike Reagan his top policy initiative -- health care reform -- is still seen as necessary.
Vince Farrell Scotsman Capital Management
To pay for it, you have to greatly expand the definition of the "rich" that you have to raise the taxes on. While enormously popular on a personal basis, Obama's support for his programs will erode rapidly when people realize what the bill is going to be..
Doug Kass Presidnt, Seabreeze Partners Management
The voters spoke out clearly in November. They (arguably) concluded that the financial wheelers and dealers had abused the system by circumventing banking regulation (shadow banking market activity), by slicing and dicing traditional loan products (particularly of a mortgage kind) into financial weapons of mass destruction and by generally mismanaging their business to the point of causing a systemic disaster.
Massive and creative fiscal responses are generally recognized as necessary considering the magnitude of the problem: The electorate and their representatives are not going to take it anymore. Abuses cannot be allowed to be repeated, so the men (who ran our financial institutions) must now be treated as boys through a more burdensome regulatory oversight process.
The bottom line? The world's financial and economic system will be reset lower in a tradeoff between prosperity and stability .
Jim LaCamp Portfolio Manager, Portfolio Focus, RBC Wealth Management
Co-Host, Opening Bell Radio Show, Biz Radio Network
His poll numbers have dropped and spending is the primary reason. This spending has not translated yet to jobs or consumer credit for that matter and mortgage rates have crept up. No toxic assets have been purchased from tarp for that matter.
Art Laffer Fmr. Reagan Economic Advisor
Chief Investment Officer, Laffer Investments
Yes! And they'll lose a lot more because it won't work, and everyone knows it. Have you ever heard of a poor person spending her way out of poverty?
Donald L. Luskin Chief Investment Officer, Trend Macrolytics LLC
Polls seem to show that they are losing support a little bit. But we live in a very strange moment politically, when the way voters feel about issues are all confused with their affection and fascination with Barack Obama as an individual. So long as he remains personally popular, just about any dumb thing he or the congress wants to do will be at least fairly popular, too.
Steve Moore Sr. Economics Writer, The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board
Every poll shows huge loss of support for spending and bailouts. For Obama, the GM bailout was a bridge to nowhere too far.
James Pethokoukis
Sr. Writer, U.S. News & World Report (Money & Business)
Both the new Wall Street Journal and New York Times polls show growing concern about the direction of economic policy, particularly as it relates to government spending and the deficit. The Obama honeymoon is over. Likewise, "Blame Bush" is rapidly approaching its expiration date. More evidence comes in the difficulty Obama is having passing healthcare reform and climate change legislation, and the watered-down versions of executive pay reform and financial regulatory reform. High unemployment will continue to drain his reservoir of goodwill with voters. The White House underestimated the severity of the recession and the effectiveness of its stimulus plan and will begin to pay the political price.
Robert Reich
Former Labor Secretary
Professor of Public Policy, UC Berkeley
Most voters support Obama's efforts to revive the economy through a temporary stimulus, provide affordable healthcare for all, protect homeowners from foreclosure, and get capital markets to work again so average people can get credit. TARP isn't popular, to be sure, but it originated under George W. Bush.
Lynn Tilton
CEO, Patriarch Partners
The government has lent, spent, guaranteed and committed $12.8 trillion to resuscitate failing banks and a token few chosen "too big to fail" corporations. However, in the process they have left an entire population behind who remain victims to rising unemployment, increased foreclosures and higher gas prices caused by a weakening dollar. Such magnitude of funds and its unavoidable consequences targeted to save so few has and will continue to anger many whose suffering has not diminished.

Eastside Distilling Inc Historical Beta (5Y) Data
There is no data for the selected date range.

About Beta 60 Month
YCharts calculates the 60 month market beta by regressing stock returns less the risk free rate of returns on the market returns less the risk free rate of return (Market returns come from the S&P 500 Total Returns Index (SPXTR), and the risk free rate is the 4 Week Average T-Bill (Monthly). There must be a minimum of 36 months of stock returns for a company to have its beta calculated.
Beta is a measure of the risk of a stock when it is included in a well-diversified portfolio.
In financial theory, the Capital Asset Pricing Model breaks down expected stock returns into two components. The first is the return that would be expected based on covariance with the movements of the market (for most stocks, when the market as a whole goes up, the price of the stock will also go up). The second part is the increase in the price of a stock that is not explained by the market. The first part - covariance with the market - is what Beta captures.
When Beta is positive, the stock price tends to move in the same direction as the market, and the magnitude of Beta tells by how much. If a stock's Beta is greater than 1, that means that when the market index goes up 1%, we expect the stock will go up by more than 1%. On the contrary, if the market goes down by 1%, we expect the stock to go down by more than 1%. Negative Betas, while rare, signify a negative correlation. When the market goes up, we would expect the stock price to go down.
For readers with a background in regression analysis, Beta is the slope of the linear regression shown in the formula below, where Returns are the return on an individual stock or portfolio, Rf is the risk free rate, RMarket is the return on a market portfolio, and e is an error term.

CAIRO, July 17 (UPI) -- The Muslim Brotherhood called for renewed protests Wednesday as a new government led by interim Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi began work, officials said.
El-Beblawi's newly formed cabinet includes liberals and technocrats, including seven members of the previous government, Voice of America reported.
It does not, however, include any members of Islamist parties such as the Muslim Brotherhood.
Thousands of supporters of ousted president Mohamed Morsi, a member of the Brotherhood, have maintained a vigil at a Cairo square, demanding he be returned to office.
Clashes between Morsi supporters and security forces left seven people dead and more than 260 injured overnight Monday.
Earlier, a spokesman for the Muslim Brotherhood said the United States has failed to stand up for its principles concerning Morsi's ouster.
Gehad el-Haddad said the coup against Egypt's first democratically elected president was given the "legitimacy of recognition and continued military aid" by the United States, Ahram Online reported.
El-Haddad said the same thing happened when former President Hosni Mubarak was ousted in 2011.
"Either the U.S. is complicit in planning/executing the military coup or ha[s] come to welcome it," he said.
El-Haddad tweeted his comments after U.S. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns met with the man the Brotherhood accuses of leading the July 3 coup against Morsi, Army Chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi.
The Brotherhood and Morsi supporters are demanding that Morsi be reinstated and the constitution restored before they engage in talks.

"Stadt im Wald" GC17K3A GEOCACHE OF THE WEEK – June 6, 2011
"Stadt im Wald" (GC17K3A) is a "Lost Place Cache." The Multi-Cache takes geocachers through a rotting relic of the Cold War. The nine stages of the cache lead adventurers into an abandoned and decayed Soviet military base. This "lost place" in Eastern Germany is the size of a small city. The military installation has been largely forgotten since the fall of communism. The geocache was placed with landowner permission.
Geocachers are warned to take extreme safety precautions. They're warned to be especially careful of broken glass and hidden holes in the ground. Geocachers are also reminded to respect the site and cause no further damage.
"Stadt im Walk" is a difficulty 3.5, terrain 3.5 cache. Hornesia placed the cache in 2007. It has accumulated more than 230 Geocaching.com Favorite Points.
This Geocache of the Week comes straight from two Lackeys traveling in Europe. They recorded local German geocachers as they completed the cache on June 2. The Geocaching.com video team is on location exploring some of the most exciting geocaching Germany and the Czech Republic have to offer. The videos will eventually be shown on Geocaching.com and YouTube.
Continue your exploration of some of the most engaging geocaches from around the world. Explore all the Geocaches of the Week on our blog or view the Bookmark List on Geocaching.com.

Partnerships for Environmental Public Health (PEPH)
On November 23, 2007 the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) released a Notice ( NOT-ES-08-002 ) soliciting feedback from the public, environmental health researchers, healthcare professionals, educators, policy makers and others with a vested interest in the effects of environmental exposures on public health. This Request for Information (RFI) was directed toward the establishment of a 5–10 year plan for a new, unified program titled, "Partnerships for Environmental Public Health" (PEPH) to promote and advance partnerships for environmental public health. NIEHS encouraged "out of the box, innovative, visionary" ideas and comments to help revitalize, stimulate and shape NIEHS activities in environmental public health.
The following series of documents is the compilation of all the responses to the RFI. Responses arrived in a variety of formats: email, interactive pdf form, MS Word documents, regular pdf documents, letters and faxes. NIEHS copied and pasted all responses into a spreadsheet for analysis purposes. Each response received a Response Number as it was entered into the master spreadsheet. During this process, the Institute did not change the content of the documents; however, formatting, in some instances, was lost. If typos were found, they were fixed. Names of the respondents were not included in the spreadsheet.
The series of documents are:
- Full Introduction (62KB)
- Demographics (56KB) This document provides readers with context for the respondents who completed Question 7 of the RFI.
- RFI Executive Summary (296KB)
- Question 1: What are your Needs? (389KB)
- Question 2A: Opportunities and Roadblocks for the development of educational and outreach materials? (307KB)

Sony goes slim with the Vaio Z laptop
Gains Media Dock add-on for desktop power
Sony has dressed up its latest supermodel laptop and when it comes to the catwalk of consumer electronics, there are no moral complications in supporting the ultra-skinny.
The Sony Vaio Z series follows with this tradition of slimming down, weighing in at less than 1.2kg, with a thickness of 17mm.
The 13.1in anti-reflective display throws up a resolution of 1600 x 900 with an onboard Intel HD graphics core built into the CPU.
Behind the wheel is 8GB DDR 3 of memory and a 2.7GHz Core i7 processor, which'll increase to 3.4GHz with Intel's Turbo Boost tech. There's also 256GB of SSD storage.
Then there's a 3D enabled HDMI output, a USB 3.0 port , as well as a MacBook-style 'button-less' touchpad with gesture support.
The Vaio Z series also features the 'sheet battery' currently found in the Vaio S series. This is effectively a second charge, attaching to the base without needing to power down and boosting life up to 14 hours.
Sony is also pushing the Power Media Dock, an expansion device that connects to the Vaio through an optical cable. It brings with it the ability to manage four displays, through various additional HDMI and VGA outputs and dedicated AMD Radeon HD 6650M graphics, as well as an optical drive of choice.
The 2011 Vaio Z series is available from the end of July starting at £1430. Add another £400 though, should you want one with a stripped down Power Media Dock. ®
