Baltimore Sun, February 20, 2016
In its editorial supporting the removal of the memorial to Chief Justice Taney in Mount Vernon Place, the Sun referred to the Dred Scott decision as Justice Taney's "best known achievement in life" as though the monument was explained by the opinion and as though the famous line "they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect" was the only line Taney ever wrote. The sentence was a description of the federal law as of 1789 under a Constitution that recognized slavery. "It does not by any means follow," Taney said in the same opinion, that because a person "has all the rights and privileges of a citizen of a State, that he must be a citizen of the United States."
That the opinion was unnecessarily broad and disastrous is generally agreed, though one historian found "there had been no popular excitement over the decision for over a year and until it was made the object of a campaign attack." The opinion dealt with slavery in the territories; it did not deny the rights of black citizens of free states.
Taney had manumitted his own slaves, and died a poor man. It is doubtful that any of the academics clamoring for removal of his statue have made similar sacrifices for their beliefs. In successfully defending an abolitionist in the Gruber case in 1819, he had described slavery as "a blot on our national character and every real lover of freedom confidently hopes that it will be effectively, though it must be gradually, wiped away." In 1857, after Dred Scott, he wrote "I am glad to say that none of those who I manumitted disappointed my expectations, but have shown by their conduct that they were worthy of freedom and knew how to use it."
The Taney opinion that endures in memory and law today was his opinion in Ex Parte Merryman, rendered at some risk to his own liberty, holding that the power to suspend the writ of habeas corpus and to detain citizens without trial was vested not in the President but in Congress. Taney's opinion was followed by the Supreme Court after the Civil War in Ex Parte Milligan, an opinion written by Justice Davis, President Lincoln's former campaign manager and law partner. Although Professor John Yoo has predictably asserted that Merryman remains unknown except to specialists, it figures prominently in books on executive power in wartime , including those by Charles Warren (1935), Frederick Bernays Wiener (1940), Clinton Rossiter (1945), Carl Brent Swisher (1974) and Chief Justice Rehnquist (1998), At least as to civilians not affiliated with a foreign military force, it is almost certainly still good law.
Taney's Merryman opinion was the subject of commemorative ceremonies and publications in the United States District Court for Maryland in 1961 and in the Library Company of the Baltimore Bar in 2011. It was almost certainly the Merryman opinion that inspired the erection of Baltimore's monument in 1887. The scheduled speaker at the dedication was Severn Teackle Wallis who along with Baltimore's Mayor, George William Brown has been imprisoned for 15 months without trial and without charges by President Lincoln. Both opposed the secession of Maryland; both also, along with Taney, opposed both slavery and the coercion of the South. After the Civil War, Brown and Wallis joined in opposing the exclusion of blacks from the University of Maryland Law School, and Brown as a judge ordered the admission to the Maryland Bar of Everett Waring, the first black to be so admitted. The dedication ceremony was postponed when Mayor Ferdinand Latrobe, the successful candidate of the Gorman-Rasin machine at the election of 1887 refused to appear on the same platform with Wallis, who had been former Mayor Brown's campaign manager in the election of 1885 in which the machine candidate secured a narrow and suspicious victory. The scandal surrounding that election gave rise to the adoption of the Australian secret ballot in Maryland in 1890.
Taney, like the demonstrators against Freddie Gray's alleged 'rough ride', did not approve of extra-judical punishment. The Merryman opinion declared: "if the authority which the Constitution has confided to the judiciary department and judicial officers may thus upon any pretext or under any circumstances be usurped by the military power at its discretion, the people of the United States are no longer living under a government of laws, but every citizen holds life, liberty and property at the will and pleasure of the army officer in whose military district he may happen to be found."
The monument to that opinion's author must not be destroyed. It is a brooding monument to a tragic figure, and a considerable work of art. Its removal will be of no service to the City, but will confirm the impression of many elsewhere that the City is in the process of being sacked by visigoths and vandals.

by George W. Liebmann
In late 1964, I was a young associate in a Baltimore law firm, which I had joined while waiting to serve six months in the Army Reserve. I was allowed to cut my teeth on insurance subrogation cases, and when I returned from my adventures at Ft. Jackson and Ft. Holabird had begun to wonder why I had entered the law. My deliverance came when a partner, Lawrence Rodowsky (later a judge of the Maryland Court of Appeals) came down the hall and told me I had been assigned to work on a Maryland reapportionment case. "Which side are we on?", I inquired. "The Eastern side," he replied.
Maryland at the time had not fallen into the clutches of the "political scientists," comfortable persons of assured if moderate means intent on conferring the blessings of equality and mediocrity on everybody else. Maryland still thought of itself as "the Free State"; the memory of Governor Albert Ritchie's and H. L.Mencken's revolt against National Prohibition still lingered on. (See Prohibition in Maryland: A Collection of Documents (Baltimore: Calvert Institute, 8 West Hamilton Street, Baltimore, MD 21201,2012) The Eastern Shore, for which I was a new and improbable champion, no longer was entitled to have one of its citizens rotate into the Governorship every third election, as under the Constitution of 1851, but still enjoyed 9 of 29 seats in the state Senate. Kent County, with 15,481 people enjoyed one seat, as did Montgomery County with 492,000. Unlike today's anonymous legislators, the State Senators of that period are still remembered, such worthis as E. Brooke Lee, John A. Cade, William S. James, and James Clark; lengthy bridges across the Susquehanna and Choptank Rivers are named after two of them. All but 4 of Maryland's 24 subdivisions had been established by 1789. (Maryland Geological Survey, The Counties of Maryland (1907), 426. The only serious lapse from the tradition of separate county representation in the State Senate was a provision of the 1867 Constitution giving Baltimore City six seats rather than one. One of these was occupied in 1964 by the far from anonymous Sen Harry Mc Guirk, best remembered for his admonition to an overly verbose colleague: "You're beating a dead horse dead!"
Maryland's polity was distinguished by two other unusual features. Along with Georgia and Mississippi, it retained a "county unit" system for the election of Governors. This assured that in the election of 1962. the successful Democratic nominee was J. Millard Tawes, a temperate man from one of the smallest and poorest of the Eastern Shore Counties (per capita income $797) rather than George P. Mahoney, a demagogic paving contractor from Baltomore County (per capita income $2167). After the demise of the county unit system, Mahoney secured the Democratic nomination in 1966 with a campaign against public housing: "your home is your castle: protect it." He was defeated by a Republican, one Spiro T. Agnew, whose Democratic supporters styled themselves "Agnewstics."
The other unusual feature of Maryland government was the role of county delegations as local legislatures. "Every one of the other 47 states has one or more standing committees to which the local bills of all counties must be referred." (Maryland Legislative Council, Research Report 23, at 17 (1944)) This system was upheld in Salsbury v. Maryland (346 U.S.545(1954)) (differing rules of evidence) and Mc Gowan v. Maryland (366 U.S. 420, 427, 537 (1965), see also South Carolina v. Katzenbach, 383 U.S. 301, 328(1966)) (differing Sunday closing laws). Following reapportionment, the larger counties acquired county executives, including Anne Arundel County's Joseph Alton (jailed in 1974); Baltimore County's Spiro Agnew (allowed to plead nolo contendere, 1973) and Dale Anderson (jailed in 1974) and Prince George's County's Jack B. Johnson (jailed in 2010).
Our resistance to this brave new world was of course unsuccessful, though we had some fun along the way. We eagerly reprinted a reform proposal put forward by several of the plaintiffs just before Reynolds v. Sims that would have retained separate county representation, as well as the post-Reynolds congressional testimony of such liberal luminaries as Attorney General Robert Kennedy, Dean Jefferson Fordham and Robert Mc Kay, former Solicitor General Lee Rankin and Maryland Senator Joseph Tydings, who, in order to stave off constitutional amendments, offered pious assurances that Reynolds v. Sims would be construed to give wide discretion to the states to preserve separate county representation. Our delightful adversary, the late Alfred Scanlan of Shea and Gardner (best known as the long-time counsel for the United States Catholic Conference) paid my role in this brief a nice back-handed compliment: "He's kookier than the kooks I'm representing!"
We were of course defeated by a 5-2 vote in the Maryland Court of Appeals, The lengthy dissenting opinion by Judge Wilson Barnes quoted at length from our brief. It proved to be more than the usual tombstone for a lost cause, hence this article.
The majority opinion, though invalidating separate county representation even in an expanded 53-member Senate because of 6 to 1 disparities in size between districts, upheld it in a 142-member House, in which the largest district had 29,666 people and the smallest 15,481. It noted that "five subdivisions having 75.3% of the population will select 106 delegates or 74.7% of the membership. . . To us this demonstrates an honest and sincere apportionment founded primarily and principally upon population." (Hughes v. Maryland Committee, 241 Md. 471(1965), cert. denied 384 U.S.950(1966)) Similar indulgence to separate county representation where the ability of a popular majority to rule was not in doubt was displayed in several other cases immediately following Reynolds v. Sims. (White v. Denman, 34 F.R.D.252 (D. Mass. 1963), appeal dismissed 329 U.S.28(1964)(separate representation for Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard); Jackman v. Bodine, 44 N.J. 414(1964); Id., 44 N.J. 453(1965); Schaefer v. Thomson, 240 F. Supp. 247 (D.Wyo. 1964)(upholding 2 ½ to 1 disparity))
In 1974, in the second round of reapportionment litigation, the Maryland court, not surprisingly, was confronted with the sort of gerrymandering predicted in the dissenting opinions of Justice Harlan and Frankfurter. (In re Legislative Redistricting, 271 Md. 320 (1974)) It appointed a special master, former Chief Judge Hall Hammond, who sought to limit gerrymandering by using two mathematical tests of compactness set forth in an affidavit by an obscure University of Maryland political science professor, Parris N. Glendening which I had procured in my new role as plaintiffs' counsel. (Later, as Maryland's Governor, Glendening became a shameless gerrymanderer in his own right). The plan under attack was propounded by the Governor pursuant to a new constitutional provision (Article III,Section 5) reposing reapportionment powers in him, which bade fair to make Maryland not merely a 'strong governor' state but a virtual dictatorship.
The third round of reapportionment litigation in 1982 was less controversial. It involved a plan put forth by our former client Governor Harry Hughes which avoided gerrymandering by combining counties for purposes of Senate representation, the once-mighty Eastern Shore thus being reduced to two multi-county districts, each with one Senator. (In re Legislative Districting, 299 Md. 658(1982))
The fourth round of reapportionment in 1992 involved a plan put forth by Governor William Donald Schaefer. It was upheld by a majority which held its nose in the process. (Legislative Redistricting Cases, 331 Md. 574(1993)) A two-judge dissenting opinion by Judges John Eldridge and Robert Bell resurrected Judge Barnes' dissenting opinion of 27 years earlier and through it, our brief, alluding to Maryland's long-established counties and traditions of local legislation and citing the Supreme Court's little-noticed decision in Brown v. Thomson,462 U.S.835(1983) upholding, partly on standing grounds, a disparity of 3.19 to 1 in apportionment of the Wyoming House, noting that it would require districts including 46.65% of the population to elect a majority of the house, and that there was no systematic discrimination.
In the fifth round of litigation, in 2002, the Maryland court speaking through Chief Judge Bell in a 6 to 1 opinion (Matter of Legislative Districting, 370 Md. 312 (2002)) invalidated Governor Glendening's plan, invoking the state constitutional principle of 'due regard' for local subdivisions, which it declined to view as a "secondary requirement," and observing that the plan "had twenty-two inter-jurisdictional or shared senatorial districts, an increase of four." The plan propounded by the court reduced the number of inter-jurisdictional districts to 14.
Finally, in "Round 6″ in 2013, the Court of Appeals, again speaking through Chief Judge Bell, upheld a plan providing for thirteen border crossings (In re 2012 Legislative Districting, 436 Md. 121(2013)), one fewer than under the plan the court itself had propounded ten years earlier'
It will be seen that the Maryland court, like many others, has endeavored to use state "compactness" and "respect for local subdivisions" provisions to attempt to limit gerrymandering, but that it has been not very successful in doing so.(See R. Pildes, Diffusion of Political Power and the Voting Rights Act, 24 Harv. J. of Law and Public PolIcy 119,137-39 (2000))
As Professor Michael Mc Connell has pointed out (M. Mc Connell, The Redistricting Cases, 24 Harv. J. of Law and Public Policy104 (2000)), when seats are allocated among subdivisions according to the method of equal proportions constitutionally mandated for the U.S. House of Representatives, "The rounding off process is purely random and both the largest and smallest districts are likely to have small populations." In states with many counties and a relatively small legislative body it would be necessary to combine small counties into single districts [to avoid] systematic and significant overrepresentation of rural voters."
The Supreme Court has applied two different numerical tests: the 'theoretical majority' and the 'argument from extremes.' With respect to both approaches, the conventional percentages are 10% or 15%. In other words, a 15% approach applied to 'theoretical majorities' would require that districts with at least 42 ½% of the population be necessary to elect a majority of the legislative house, a 10% rule would require 45%. Both the 29 member and 53 member Maryland Senate plans allowing separate county representation would fail these tests, largely because of the unusual variations in density of population in Maryland (under the 53-member plan. 37% of the electorate could elect a Senate majority), but the Maryland, Massachusetts and Wyoming lower houses would pass it without difficulty as would those of many other states.The Maryland Court of Appeals majority in the 1964 case noted that the 24 least populous districts under the plan in which each county had at least one delegate had 49.5% of the population and elected exactly half the delegates.
The 'argument from extremes' makes no sense at all. It would invalidate the Massachusetts reapportionment previously discussed where the only districts in a large house that deviated from the numerical norm more than slightly were those for two islands. The argument overlooks the fact that underrepresentation, not overrepresentation is the vice to be cured. (Comment, 48 Marquette Law Rev. 516, 520-21 (1965); R. Hanson, Courts in the Thicket, 12 American Law Review 51, 77-78; White and Thomas, Urban and Rural Representation and State Legislative Apportionment, 17 Western Pol.Q.724, 728(1964))
The numbers used are essentially fatuous. Population is not the same thing as registered voters, or votes cast. See Evenwel v. Abbott, No.14-940 on the Supreme Court's current docket and Burns v. Richardson, 384 U.S.73 (1966). Populations shift, sometimes drastically, between reapportionments.
Worse still, legislatures can be composed of substantially equal subdivisions and still be profoundly undemocratic or perversely constituted. This has been the experience of the Third and Fourth French Republics, the Weimar German Reichstag, and the present Israeli Knesset. Proportional representation is perfectly consistent with even the most exacting equality standard, yet it produces fanatical splinter parties, geriatric major parties, and weak coalition governments. At-large elections are also consistent with a strict population standard; in the wake of Reynolds v. Sims, the Illinois House in 1964 was constituted on this basis, though the majority party provided a nominal opposition by allowing 59 of the 177 candidates to run unopposed. The total effect of the Supreme Court's wonderful reform, said to be Chief Justice Warren's proudest act, was the creation of state legislatures that are economically more conservative and socially more liberal than their predecessors, and an almost permanent Republican majority in the federal House of Representatives. Minority, urban, and low-income voters have little reason to celebrate these results; indeed, the last four rounds of reapportionment litigation in Maryland have involved gerrymanders designed to produce six districts in which Baltimore City voters are dominant even though on a population basis Baltimore City is only entitled to five.
The whole argument over apportionment is divorced from the more important questions concerning the recruitment of legislators: how are persons of independence and integrity to be obtained, and what is the appropriate relation of local to state governments. The function of legislatures under modern conditions is less as initiators of legislation but as checks on the executive and on popular passions stimulated by the mass media. That is the theory of our American polity, which was conceived not as a pure democracy but as what Aristotle called a "mixed government." Were the case otherwise, there would be no Supreme Court to make mischief; its discretionary and increasingly political decisions are the worst malapportionment of all, even if it included graduates of law schools other than Yale and Harvard and even if it accorded Staten Island equal representation with the other New York boroughs. (The Court includes the following New York borough representatives: Ginsberg (Brooklyn), Scalia (Queens), Sotomayor (The Bronx) and Kagan (Manhattan). On the Court's hostility to Staten Island, see Board of Estimates v. Morris, 489 U.S.688(1989); R. Briffault, Voting Rights, Home Rule and Metropolitan Governance: The Secession of Staten Island as a Case Study in the Dilemnas of Local Self-Determination, 92 Colum.L.Rev.775(1992)) As was said by Justice Woodbury in the first reapportionment case to reach the Court, Luther v. Borden, judges are "irresponsible and unchangeable for life;" the reapportionment power would be "one more dangerous (in theory at least) than the worst of elective oligarchies in the worst of times." 48 U.S. (7 How.) 1, 53 (1849)
The new fashionable remedy for this is the creation of 'nonpartisan' redistricting commissions, chosen perhaps to insure political purity and innocence, from the populace at large by sortition. This cure is as bad as the disease. These inexpert commissions will inevitably fall into the hands of the "political scientists." See the dissenting opinions in Arizona State Legislature v. Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, 576 U.S. (2015). They are the people who got us into this mess; they are not the people to get us out of it. For reasons stated by the late Pendleton Herring, government by Muldoon is almost invariably preferable to government by Goo-Goo. P. Herring, The Politics of Democracy: American Parties in Action (1940). The political scientists will inevitably worry about the Voting Rights Act, and will try to construct "majority-minority" districts. The trouble (not the only trouble) with these is that Blacks are not the only, or even the largest 'minority' and the Voting Rights Act refers also to "language minorities [and] American Indian, Asian American, Alaska Natives, or of Spanish heritage." (42 USC 1973 l(c)(3))The result will be legislatures constituted like Noah's Ark and as disfunctional as deliberative bodies or agencies for compromise as the United Nations General Assembly.
I agree with Prof. Mc Connell that the right remedy can be supplied by the Court, through abandonment of the 'argument from extremes' and automatic validation of plans allocating seats according to the method of equal proportions among subdivisions or constitutionally fixed groups of subdivisions where doing so does not permit "the systematic frustration of the will of the majority". In order for this to happen, a legislature must give it the opportunity to do so, by enacting two plans: the first a principled plan based on county representation and the second a conventionally gerrymandered plan, which "shall not become effective" if the first plan "is declared valid. This course was followed by the Maryland General Assembly in 1965. (241 Md. at 476). Use of pre-existing and permanent subdivision boundaries limits gerrymandering to the lines drawn within more populous subdivisions and greatly limits its possibilities. If a numerical test is needed, 42 ½% or, at most, 45% of the populace to control a legislative majority will do nicely. Because a neutral and rational formula is being applied, it is difficult to justify involvement of the Voting Rights Act, which requires "proof in each and every case that racially polarized voting patterns continue to exist in the specific jurisdiction whose electoral structure is being challenged." (R. Pildes, Diffusion of Political Power and the Voting Rights Act, 24 Harv. J. of Law and Public Policy 119, 132 (2000)). It is not necessary to accept Professor Mc Connell's suggestion that the Republican Form of Government clause be added to the court's arsenal; conventional rational basis doctrine under the Equal Protection clause achieves this result, as Justice Stewart asserted. (Lucas v. 44th General Assembly of Colorado, 372 U.S. 713,at 754(1964)(dissenting opinion))
The writer makes no apology for the conclusion of his abortive Petition for Certiorari of 50 years ago:
"The issues presented in the. . . second round of cases which have begun to appear on the Court's docket relate less to the allocation among areas in a state and more to the nature of the relationship of a representative to his constituents. The issues now relate not to whether the predominant forces in the community will be able to make their weight felt, but rather to whether representatives are to retain significant and continuous relationships with their districts.
"Demands for mathematical perfection in apportionment and the creation of fluctuating constituencies crossing community boundaries may result, not in more representative and effective legislatures, but rather in making legislatures overly dependent on the favor of political machines and pressure groups, agencies of mass communications, and the executive branch of government."(Petition for Certiorari, Hughes v. Strong, October Term 1965, 28. See R. Hanson. The Political Thicket (1966), 122: "Mobility has created neighborhoods of strangers and jurisdictions without traditions. . . In this context, alienation from the political process, nonparticipation in the official system of politics or support for mass movements as an anti-politics reaction appears to be increasing in metropolitan areas.")

Lakeland City Commission Delays Vote on Bar Ordinance
Published: Tuesday, January 21, 2014 at 1:39 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 21, 2014 at 11:31 p.m.
LAKELAND | City commissioners Tuesday unanimously agreed to delay a vote on an ordinance that would ban anyone younger than 21 years old from entering a downtown Lakeland bar.
It appeared that a majority of commissioners were against the ordinance after the 7-0 vote, but they wanted the delay to give bar owners and residents another opportunity to voice their opinion.
"It just seems like folks are comfortable with the way it is now," Lakeland Mayor Howard Wiggs said after the City Commission meeting.
Currently, bar owners are allowed to have those younger than 21 enter their establishments unless age restrictions have been placed on the bar.
Commissioner Justin Troller agreed with Wiggs that there isn't a big concern in the community.
"The way this recommendation came to us was not because of an outcry from the public," Troller said.
Troller said it was done because of an upcoming appeal hearing by owners of the Socialite Bar downtown. The owners will contest age restrictions placed on the bar. The owners of the Socialite on Pine Street contend the city violated its own procedures when it placed age restrictions on bar customers, preventing those younger than 21 from entering after 9 p.m.
"I want to hear that case (the Socialite) before making a decision," Troller said.
City Attorney Tim McCausland said his decision to write the policy was based on the situation at the Socialite.
"My thinking is because we've got to do something about that," McCausland said.
Commissioners decided to delay the vote until after the Socialite's appeal hearing. That hearing is expected to occur in the next 90 days.
Commissioner Edie Yates said she was against the ordinance. Yates said the current situation allows the city to enforce additional regulations on bars that aren't following the rules.
"If you run a bar and run it well, you are OK to have 18-year-olds in the facility," Yates said. "But if they don't do what they're supposed to do, we have to do something about it."
Former Mayor Gow Fields, a downtown businessman, addressed commissioners. He said underage drinking is an issue downtown.
"Your downtown is a magnet, but you have to ask yourself what kind of magnet you want it to be," Fields said.
City Manager Doug Thomas said five commissioners supported the idea of banning anyone younger than 21 from entering a downtown bar after a meeting about downtown last year.
But Wiggs said that was an assumption on Thomas' part.
"I don't think we were ever there," Wiggs said.

It was difficult to achieve the good isolation, i tried 10+ pair of silicon cushions and i finally got one which fits perfectly into my ears.

Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro Earphones (Clear)
" These were my first IEMs, so obviously at first I thought that these were the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. But after awhile... Bass is clear and punchy. Highs are pretty clear but high mids can get a bit muddy IMO. I'll be honest, it takes a lot of work to get these to fit, and once you do, they are really uncomfortable, at least for me. " --vleung92

I know what I want from a relationship (and what I don't want), and am willing to wait for the right guy, so I'm not going to latch on to you, or waste your time just for the sake of having someone to spend time with. I believe physical closeness is as important as emotional closeness. I also believe that couples need time apart to recharge, and to allow each person to maintain their identity.
2. Fitting lots of groceries into the fridge (it's the nerdy analytical side of my brain coming through).
3. Fixing things around my house. When there is no "man of the house" you learn quickly how to fend for yourself.
2. Teaching fitness classes
3. Occassional trips to the mountains - I'm very sad to have left Lake Tahoe behind :-(
4. My fur-babies (2 rescue dogs and 3 rescue cats)
5. Yoga pants and flip flops
6. Intimacy (big sigh), and a good man to spend time with (ok I've done without you long enough!)
I prefer to meet you in person sooner than later. I am not interested in texting back and forth for weeks. I have found that you can't tell much about a person and their true personality until spending some time with them.
Oh....and PLEASE be who your profile says you are.

California's 2016-17 Budget Priorities
Each year the Governor and Legislature work together to pass the state's budget that determines how taxes will be spent on state-funded programs like education, healthcare, and human services. This year, while state spending and revenues were in balance, difficult budget choices remained.
Do you think the state should increase spending for programs that were cut during the recession? Can policy choices be made to make revenues more stable in the future, protecting the state against an economic downturn? What are your budget priorities?
$120.40 Billion
$126.80 Billion
Where do theses policy options come from?
Budget projections are from the state's Budget Office (Department of Finance) and the state's Legislative Analyst. These estimates are simplified calculations, based on the most current data available and are subject to change.
Budget Basics
About Prop 98
Passed in 1988 by voters, this measure sets a minimum level of funding for education and requires as much as 50% or more of new General Fund revenues to go toward funding education.
The California Budget Challenge accounts for the Proposition 98 requirements in all of the relevant policy options.

Environmental Data Management at NOAA: Archiving, Stewardship, and Access (Paperback)Committee on Archiving and Accessing, Board on Atmospheric Sciences & Climate, Division on Earth and Life Studies, National Research Council
Paperback Published: 16/11/2007
- Can be ordered from our supplier
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) collects, manages, and disseminates a wide range of climate, weather, ecosystem and other environmental data that are used by scientists, engineers, resource managers, policy makers, and others in the United States and around the world. The increasing volume and diversity of NOAA's data holdings - which include everything from satellite images of clouds to the stomach contents of fish - and a large number of users present NOAA with substantial data management challenges. NOAA asked the National Research Council to help identify the observations, model output, and other environmental information that must be preserved in perpetuity and made readily accessible, as opposed to data with more limited storage lifetime and accessibility requirements. This report offers nine general principles for effective environmental data management, along with a number of more specific guidelines and examples that explain and illustrate how these principles could be applied at NOAA.

Federal prosecutors have charged Shaya "Alex" Lichtenstein "with bribing cops with $6,000 in cash and other goodies to expedite gun permit requests, and three officers were transferred out of the licensing unit as part of the far-reaching NYPD corruption probe" as reported by the Daily News:
Lichtenstein, who has his own gun permit, is a member of the Borough Park Shomrim, the Jewish volunteer patrol. He was arrested Sunday at his Pomona, Rockland County, home. He would charge members of the Orthodox community between $5,000 and $25,000 to expedite their gun permit requests, community sources said.
The bust is part of an ongoing probe into NYPD corruption including whether businessmen Jona Rechnitz and Jeremy Reichberg -- powerful members of the Orthodox community with close ties to Mayor Bill de Blasio -- provided high-priced gifts to high-ranking police in exchange for official action.

I thought for sure that Pie would end up being Traynor.
On a more serious note, I know that one of the players referenced has died within the past year, but his page has not yet been updated with his date of death. I've noticed this from time to time concerning other recent deaths here. Is there a reluctance to make these updates? I can certainly understand that, although the names generally do make it to the "In Memoriam" list on the front page fairly quickly. In fact, sometimes the first news I get of some of these passings is by looking at this list.
Andy Says:
November 27th, 2009 at 9:56 am
DoubleDiamond, I don't know for sure how things like updating player deaths works, but here's my guess: there is a lot of day-to-day stuff that has to get done, especially during the season, to keep B-R up to date and running smoothly. Remember there are exhaustive daily database updates for player stats, team stats, etc. And there is no army of people at Sports-Reference working on this site--it's Sean, Neil, and whatever other help they need. My guess is that rather than rush to update player pages with death information and possibly make a mistake or overlook something else, Sean prefers to wait until the off-season each year so that he can take his time, get all the details exactly correct and make the changes without any time pressure.
Keep in mind that mistakes in information about birth, death, and other personal matters can be devastating to family members, especially if it propagates before being corrected. I *have* talked to Sean about these particular issues and I know that he's very sensitive to avoiding mistakes that can lead to upset of families. So my guess is that he is erring on the side of being cautious and absolutely correct rather than rushing and making the occasional odd mistake.

Product Description
From Amazon
Cookbooks by chefs can be daunting. They're apt to include tricky restaurant recipes, or, alternately, watered-down "translations." Tom Colicchio, chef at Manhattan's top-rated Gramercy Tavern, has a better way. Think like a chef, he advises, and you tap into food preparation creativity--the ability to forgo recipes, when you wish, for spontaneous kitchen invention. In a series of innovative chapters that explore cooking fundamentals, culinary themes and variations, and "plug-in" component preparations, Colicchio provides a cooking "anatomy" for gaining kitchen mastery. The book's 100-plus recipes are offered not as ends in themselves (though they stand as delicious examples of Colicchio's simple yet sophisticated style), but as illustrative keys to the culinary processes.
How does it work? Beginning with a chapter that reviews basic cooking techniques, and includes exemplary stock- and sauce-making formulas, the book then presents a series of "studies," building-block recipes like Roasted Tomatoes, followed by simple-to-sophisticated variations, such as Roasted-Tomato Risotto. A chapter called "Trilogies" explores clusters of three-ingredient recipes--duck, root vegetables, and apples is one ingredient grouping--that show how various techniques, applied to the same ingredients, yield various exciting dishes. "Component Cooking," which focuses on vegetables (Colicchio's major source of inspiration), provides recipes like Corn and Potato Pancakes to be used for assembling a "plate." Concluding the book is "Favorites," a selection of Colicchio's specialties that range from My Favorite Chicken Soup to Poached Foie Gras, a taste bonus that also stimulates the cooking imagination. Illustrated with more than 100 color photos, and including a wide range of tips, Think Like a Chef succeeds at helping readers see through a chef's eyes--and in so doing to visualize cooking with fresh insight. --Arthur Boehm
From Publishers Weekly
Unlike many chef-authors, Colicchio (chef at Gramercy Tavern) does not offer modified restaurant recipes for the home cook. Instead, he sets out to inspire readers to think like trained chefs: to riff on ingredients and techniques rather than always follow recipes to the last letter. Indeed, the recipes Colicchio includes serve as creative fodder rather than authoritarian instructions. He begins with techniques ("Get these [roasting, braising, blanching, sweating, stock making and sauce making] down, and you've mastered the most fundamental tools to creating great recipes"). The chapter on sauce making includes excellent basic instructions that can be used for variations such as Apple Cider Sauce and Lemon-Rosemary Vinaigrette. He is the first to admit that his approach is unusual, but it works beautifully, and dishes such as Artichoke and Tomato Gratin and Root Vegetable Soup with Apples and Duck Ham not only illustrate the author's premise effectively, but also sound delicious. Colicchio has a natural voiceAthere's no foodie pretentiousness here at all, and his book is as straightforward, yet inventive, as the food he serves. (Nov.)

Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
For starters, Colicchio says the typical chef does not start with an endpoint, an idea on what sort of dish they wish to create. Rather, they typically start with one or a few ingredients and apply to them a typical culinary technique such as a braise, roast, or blanche. But how do you braise, roast, or blanche? This gives Colicchio his starting point.
Like all crafts and professions, cooking has it's own lingo. One can listen to a conversation between two chefs and have no idea what kind of end product they will reach based on the words they use to refer to the methods to be used. 'Blanching' is one of my favorites. My rudimentary knowledge of French tells me it is derived from the word for 'white'. One may guess from that that the object of blanching is to make something white. Oddly, the actual intended effect of blanching is often to make something more vividly green. So there you have it. We have some techniques to learn. Colicchio does just that in the first part of the book and succeeds in giving some of the best descriptions of stock and sauce making I have seen. It also covers the techniques of buerre fondu, which few other books discuss and none discuss as well. (Be warned, Colicchio really likes to use butter.Read more ›
Now with that formality out of the way, I am free to tee off on this thing. I just made the roast duck with root vegetables and apples recipe, and it was a honking example of awful kitchen testing.
The root vegetable quantities called for are probably in the region of twice as much as you need, but when they say "four turnips," just how big a turnip are we talking? Furthermore, the stuff should really be cut up into bite-sizes, but I guess he prefers to leave that up to the eater. The results on first try are edible, but so autmumal that I forbid this to be served outside of New England in a month that ends with "r"--a prohibition only hinted at in the text.
The worst thing is the truth in advertising problem. The food stylist who took the pictures of the preparations took liberties with the recipes!!! Shock and horror!...The illustration for this particular recipe features ingredients not present in it (what's that leaf doing there...or the thyme?) and leaves out ingredients that should be there, and doesn't cross-hatch the duck skin, etc. etc. etc...
It makes you feel unable when you just can't match the illustration no matter what you do. But these illustrations might not taste better than what the recipe says.
If the book really taught you to think like a chef, it would leave no question "why?" unanswered. As it stands, this title is mostly unfulfilled...the book should be three or four times as long and explain every decision in every recipe and then it would teach you to think like a chef.
As it stands, thanks for the mushroom recipe Mr. Colicchio, and enjoy the five stars.

They represent the futility of being a young person trying to be shocking, groundbreaking and passionate in the 21st century. They're total non-conformists and don't dress like anyone else. Ever. Typically, they wear skinny-jeans with ironic t-shirts, vintage jackets and moustaches. Silly hats are optional. They also don't act like anyone else. Typically, they support obscure independent music and fair trade/ organic produce. See what I mean? There's no pidgeon-holing a hipster.

AbstractThe objective of this topic is to develop a Rotorcraft Obstacle Avoidance Display (ROAD) that alerts pilots to hazards in confined areas, especially at night and in degraded visual environments. The Army loses an average of $58 million and 14 lives each year to obstacle strikes and the civilian helicopter industry is similarly devastated. The ROAD is designed to provide pilots with an easily understood display of obstacles 360 degrees around the aircraft and provide auditory or tactile alerts to the cue the pilot to the most immediate unseen threats, especially those within 100 meters. Expert Army and civilian pilots have participated in structured interviews and simulator sessions to define the required content, format, and behavior of the ROAD, and are highly supportive of the concept. Feasibility studies have shown that a short-range sensor and a terrain database can meet the defined requirements. In Phase II, a specially designed flight simulator will be fabricated and employed in formal experiments to finalize the ROAD design. The testing of the pilot interface design concepts in the experiments will ensure that the ROAD is optimized for use during approach-to-landing, hover, landing, and take-off maneuvers, and reduces pilot workload while maximizing his situation awareness.

A party at Los Angeles's Chateau Marmont for Lizzy Caplan turned into a mini 10-year Mean Girls reunion last weekend.
The Sunday soiree to celebrate Caplan's Masters of Sex Emmy nomination (and her belated June 30 birthday) saw some familiar North Shore faces. Both Amy Poehler and Daniel Franzese showed up to the bash to support their former costar – and "one of the greatest people you will ever meet," according to Franzese.
Franzese, who played Damien in the 2004 teen film, posted several selfies with Mean Girls's Janice Ian and resident "cool mom" Poehler to Instagram.
"Pretty smiles. Fun times. Good vibez," Franzese wrote along with one of the photos from the night. If only Glen Coco could've been there, too.

British automaker Aston Martin is recalling 6,076 vehicles for locks that work a little too well.
Aston Martin Rapide Recalls

Back in June 2013, Aston Martin recalled just under 700 vehicles over faulty throttle arms that could break without warning. Bad news, for sure – and things just got a whole lot worse. According to Reuters, the British luxury brand now needs to recall 17,590 vehicles due to counterfeit plastic materials being used by a Chinese sub-supplier – that's roughly 75 percent of the company's output over the same period.

There have been quite a few recalls to report lately, but as proof that no automaker is immune from the bug, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced a recall that affects almost the entire 2012-13 Aston Martin lineup of vehicles. A total of 689 DB9, Rapide, Virage, V8 Vantage and V12 Vantage models built between May 2012 and April 2013 are being recalled due to an issue with the throttle pedal arm that could cause it to break without warning.

We are almost in the middle of the first quarter of 2016. Most brands and OEMs promised last year that more Android 6.0 Marshmallow updates will roll out during Q1. A number of companies have been busy releasing the Marshmallow platform for several phone models. After the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua, it's the Moto G's turn to get the new update. Well, at least, just the 2nd-gen Moto G in India.
Motorola has just announced the latest software update for the Moto G (2nd gen). The new Android 6.0 Marshmallow brings new features and enhancements to the smartphone including better control of the system with the new app permissions and new battery-saving features like the Doze Mode. The App Standby automatically puts apps you don't frequently use to sleep or standby mode.
The new App Permissions model only asks for permissions when you are about to use an app or feature. Even opening web links can be customized now. There's also the new Do not disturb feature that allows several automatic rules by event or time. Of course, there's also improvements on Now on Tap, Direct Share, Moto Assist, Motorola Migrate, and Motorola Alert.
Notifications are being pushed but if you haven't received one yet, you can check your phone by going to Settings> About phone> System updates> click on "Yes, I'm in" > and then "Install now". Phone will automatically reboot so don't be surprised if it happens. No information when the same update will roll out in other regions. For now, those in India can enjoy Marshmallow on their Moto G.

OMG, this coffeecake is excellent. Followed the directions as stated, and it came out so good. We really enjoyed. Thanks for posting, Di. LC
Wonderful coffee cake! The cake was moist and the two layers of streusal was divine. I did add mini-choclate chips instead of the currants. And this time I did not do the icing because I was out of powdered sugar. It was still excellent anyway. The streusal amount I thought was too much so maybe next time I will just half the amounts. This is a keeper, thanks!
I did a double batch of this for a brunch at work, they were gobbled up in no time flat. OUTSTANDING. Since if was for a brunch, I baked them off as cupcakes, cooked at 375 for about 20 mins. As usual, Di's recipe's kick butt. Besides being a hottie that girl can cook, your man must be one lucky guy :-)
