This week at the Court – in Plain English
From the public"™s perspective, things are relatively quiet at the Court right now, as it takes a break before beginning its final group of arguments on April 18. However, the Justices and their clerks are busier than ever: the Court still has to issue opinions in forty-seven cases before the end of June, so they are likely writing, circulating, concurring, and dissenting like mad.
This week, therefore, I am going to touch on the two opinions that the Court issued this week, but also talk a little bit about how the Court does the work of deciding its cases. Let"™s start there.
Supreme Court arguments take place on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, usually about two weeks each month. At the end of almost every week, the Justices meet in a private conference room for their Conference, during which they discuss (among other things) the cases that were argued that week (if any). The Chief Justice leads the Conference, and the most junior Justice (currently Justice Kagan) takes notes. The Justices go around the table and tell the group how they plan to vote and why; each Justice gets a turn to speak before any one Justice can speak twice.
After all of the Justices have voted, someone is assigned to write the majority opinion. If the Chief Justice is in the majority, he will assign the opinion either to an associate Justice who is also in the majority or to himself. If the Chief Justice is in the minority, the senior Justice in the majority gets to assign the majority opinion instead. Many factors go into deciding who writes an opinion: it may concern a "pet" legal issue for a particular Justice (such as Justice Scalia and the Confrontation Clause); it may be that a particular Justice has not received a majority assignment for this sitting; it may be that a Justice has finished all of her current assignments and is ready for a new one. And in some cases, the opinion may present a dry and technical issue that none of the Justices is particularly anxious to write about; when this happens, one of the junior Justices usually gets the assignment. All of this we know, as the Chief Justice has spoken publicly about these factors.
Of course, many Court watchers speculate that the Chief Justice and other assigning Justices use assignments strategically: if they are hoping to encourage more Justices to join an opinion, or if they want to foster a particular line of analysis, they may choose to assign the majority to a particular colleague. In fact, when Justice Stevens retired, many speculated that one great loss to the Court, particularly to the liberal wing, was the loss of his assignment power (as he was often the senior Justice in the majority when the Chief was in the minority).
Because opinions are usually spread out fairly evenly among the Justices, with each Justice writing about eight or nine majority opinions a Term, Court watchers can sometimes predict who the author of an opinion will be and how the case will come out. How? Well, if most of the cases from a particular sitting have been decided, but one or two are still outstanding, we can look to see who has not written a majority opinion in a case from that sitting. Usually, that Justice will be the author of the not-yet-issued opinion. Looking back at the tenor of that Justice"™s questions during oral argument (as well as her history of decision-making in cases with similar legal issues), we can predict how she might have voted and where the majority will come out.
Is it a perfect science? Absolutely not! But because we do not get behind-the-scenes looks at the process (and even the law clerks and staff are not allowed at Conference), we have to make our best guesses.
All of that said, let"™s talk about this week"™s opinions. Based on the factors I just discussed, Tom predicted that Justice Thomas would have an opinion on Monday, and he was correct. The case was Cullen v. Pinholster, and it involved that favorite of all topics: habeas corpus. Several times over the past few weeks, I"™ve explained that pretty much nobody understands habeas (with the exception of a very few lawyers who specialize in the area and (hopefully) judges who hear habeas petitions). In this case, Scott Pinholster had been sentenced to death for murder, but federal courts had overturned his death sentence because he had suffered brain damage as a child. However, Pinholster did not rely heavily on evidence concerning his disability at his trial, and he did not raise the issue before the state courts when he challenged the constitutionality of his conviction after his earlier appeals were unsuccessful. When he reached federal court, however, he claimed that his trial counsel had been ineffective because he had not introduced enough evidence about his brain injury. The federal court considered the new evidence, and that decision was the main issue before the Supreme Court.
Justice Thomas, joined at least in part by six other Justices, wrote that the brain injury evidence had come up sufficiently at trial, and that the federal court could not consider evidence that the state court did not. Moreover, said the majority, when it looked at the evidence that was before the state court, it concluded that Pinholster did not qualify for federal habeas relief.
Whew! That"™s tough stuff, and it is hard to hear "" after all, many might say, a man who has significant disabilities should not receive the death penalty. Why does it matter when he raised the mitigating evidence (or the evidence that proves him to be less culpable)? Well, because the purpose of current habeas law is to try to prevent prisoners from endlessly challenging their convictions and detentions. Decisions like the one in Cullen, say some, will encourage defendants to make their claims early on, which in turn will make the judicial system more efficient.
Last, but not least, in Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization v. Winn, the Court held that taxpayers do not have "standing" to challenge tax credits for contributions to religious schools. What is standing? Well, to simplify the concept, it is a plaintiff"™s right to bring her case in federal court. Federal courts will only hear cases when the person bringing the claim has actually been injured. Taxpayers usually cannot show that they have personally been injured, and so they almost never can sue in federal court over government expenditures. About forty years ago, however, the Court held that taxpayers could challenge government spending on religion. While this case would seem to change that rule, Justice Kennedy, writing for the majority, explained that because Winn was about tax credits, not government spending, the facts were different enough to warrant a different result. In her first dissent as a Justice, Justice Kagan disagreed emphatically, dismissing the majority"™s distinction as a mere formality; the opinion is interesting, even for non-lawyers, and it might be a good starting point for those interested in learning more about Court opinions.

Go-live day for the Paris climate agreement: what does this mean for business?

While businesses are generally aware the Paris Agreement is an historic turning point in the world's efforts to tackle climate change, many executives are not familiar with its contents. This is despite the fact that the Agreement "… will define the global economy of the 21st century, and has an immediate impact on businesses around the world," according to the influential private sector coalition, We Mean Business.
How can business make the leap from knowing action is needed, to knowing what action is needed? The summary that follows forms part of a broader DNV GL position paper, to be issued by end 2016, which explores the key role standards can play in guiding business along climate-resilient pathways.
The Paris Agreement – a high level guide for business
The Paris Agreement, adopted by consensus at the 21st Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Paris on 12 December 2015 has been signed by 192 UNFCCC parties (countries). To enter into force, the Agreement needed to be ratified by a minimum of 55% of the UNFCCC parties, accounting for 55% of global greenhouse gas emissions. With the ratification of the Agreement on 5 October 2016 by the European Union this threshold was achieved. The Agreement became legally binding for all parties one month later, namely November 4, 2016.
The Paris Agreement is unparalleled in its ambition, scope and political buy-in, including a call to action for all societal players. It makes explicit references to the critical role of the private sector.
The Agreement comprises five global goals/ambitions and four other main components relating to national efforts, co-operation, transparency and reporting. All these components are of deep relevance to business.
5 Global Goals
- Global temperature limit: The increase in the global average temperature is to be kept well below 2 degrees Celsius, with an ambition to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
- Mitigation: To achieve the temperature goal, global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions must peak as soon as possible, and reach net zero GHG emissions in the second half of the century.
- Adaptation: Pursue efforts globally to enhance adaptive capacity, strengthen resilience and reduce vulnerability to climate change. The agreement acknowledges that climate change impacts are already visible. It emphasises the very short-term nature of climate change, and hence the need to place adaptation on a par with mitigation with an emphasis on co-benefits.
- Climate finance: The agreement reaffirms the role of developed countries in supporting the implementation efforts of developing countries, but also encourages contributions from other countries. The agreement commits developed countries to submit information on future support every two years, including projected levels of public finance.
- Technology: The agreement also strengthens international cooperation on climate technology development and transfer, and capacity-building in developing countries.
These global goals set a clear long-term policy direction towards a climate-resilient, low-carbon future, providing an incentive for businesses and investors to invest and innovate.
In addition to the five global goals above the remaining key components of the Paris Agreement are as follows:
National efforts
The Paris Agreement requires all countries to present their "best efforts" through nationally determined contributions (NDCs) that set out emission reduction contributions and adaptation plans and actions. These efforts have to be progressively strengthened in the coming years and include all societal actors within each country, including businesses. The Agreement commits countries to report regularly on their emissions and their implementation efforts, and to communicate their NDCs every 5 years. These NDCs provide a clear direction for businesses and investors in the countries that they operate in or plan to enter, and also highlight potential future opportunities.
The Agreement highlights the role of non-state actors in its implementation, emphasising the role of cooperation in mobilising climate action by all countries and stakeholders such as civil society, the private sector, financial institutions, cities and other subnational authorities. Many climate solutions require the concerted effort of many societal actors. As one of the key actors, business, which is naturally geared to innovate and lead, has an opportunity to drive initiatives to foster climate resilience.
Transparency framework
The Agreement sets out a transparency and accounting system to ensure transparency on implementation action and support by all countries. Transparency in the context of the UNFCCC refers to the measurement and reporting of information relating to mitigation, adaptation, finance, technology and capacity building, together with processes for international review and consideration. Monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems are central elements, creating urgency for development of methods and indicators to measure adaptation achievements. To enhance transparency on adaptation action there is now a Technical Examination Process for Adaptation (TEP-A), in addition to the one on mitigation. This also includes participation from the Business and Industry UNFCCC constituency (BINGO). Transparency and accountability have critical importance for business operations, and can also help to create an environment of trust and confidence among governments, investors and shareholders. These transparency efforts and associated metrics and MRV systems feed into the final element of the Paris Agreement, the global stock-take.
Global stock-take
There will be a global stock-take every five years to assess the global progress towards meeting the aims in the Agreement, starting in 2023. This stock-take will not assess the individual efforts of each nation or groups of stakeholders, but will rather assess progress from a global perspective. The global stock-take will inform further national efforts, and will also support international cooperation in the implementation of the Agreement. This is also clear opportunity for business organisations and initiatives to communicate how they are contributing to the aims in the Agreement. For example, the CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) in collaboration with We Mean Business produced this year a progress report on corporate climate action, focused on emissions, setting the post-Paris baseline.
Taking action
COP22 starts in Marrakesh on Monday 7 November and, fittingly, is being labelled the 'action COP'. Businesses can expect a scramble to action at the national level, and must craft strategies to be constructive transformation partners or risk being swept along by the tide of events.
Climate change impacts are already here and all societal actors are vulnerable. Businesses must adapt to present climate impacts and build resilience to near-term climate risks, while at the same time decarbonising their operations. On top of these stand-alone requirements, businesses are explicitly called upon to show how they contribute to overall global climate resilience and sustainable development. All of this is a tall order, and while the scale of the challenge will create opportunities for many companies, climate change represents a risk for all, which can only be amplified by inaction.

YSL Tassel Bag Replica: Common Flaws You Should AvoidCategories:Other Brands
There are many varieties of the YSL tassel bag replica when it comes to size, color and material. This bag comes in smooth leather, patent leather, suede, python leather, croc leather and also grain de poudre textured leather. But even if there are so many different options for this bag, it's important to be familiar with the common features all of them have.
I've seen many fake YSL bags, from really cheap to really expensive , so I thought I should make a small guide for those of you who want to learn more about this iconic bag.
I've already shown you some bad fake YSL bags as to know what to avoid. What I want to point out this time is that an YSL Tassel bag replica doesn't have to be cheap to be bad. On the contrary, I've turned to eBay for some examples and unfortunately I did find them. I really don't want to scare you girls with these bad examples I find on eBay but you really need to stay safe.
The only good part about these two Yves Saint Laurent replica handbags I've found on eBay is that the price is relatively cheap, which should make anyone suspicious.
I will also show you some really cheap YSL tassel bag replica bags for comparison. Given their price, I can't say I'm disappointed by the way they look. Still, if you come across a similar replica that is more expensive than these, you should keep in mind that it's not worth it.
As long as you know the features a designer bag has, you should be safe. But you need to pay extra attention to details. Just because a bag looks really similar to an authentic at first sight, it doesn't mean it is. Here are some photos of a grey YSL tassel bag replica that costs £220. It's an expensive replica but you have to admit it looks really good and it's not easy to tell it's a fake for the untrained eye:
Tassel – goes without saying but this is an essential feature of this bag and a good way to tell if the bag is fake or not. The tassels should be long and thick and gorgeous!
Stamp on the interior of the flap – should say "Saint Laurent Paris", not "Yves Saint Laurent".
Lining – never a shiny textile material like this one:
– either smooth leather or suede.
For shoulder bags – check the chain and the hardware engravings: the two rings attaching the chain strap; the metal plaque and the tassel.
There are two types of chains for the YSL Tassel bags. Both are correct but one is for older models and the chunkier one is for newer styles.
The flap – check to see if it's symmetric and how long it is (should be about an inch higher than the bottom of the bag).
The logo – on the leather tag inside the bag.
The interior – should feature a small open pocket and just one big compartment no matter the size. The Saint Laurent Cassandre Tassel bag should never have a zipper pocket. I notice that many of the bad fake Saint Laurent tassel bags have an interior that is similar to that of the Saint Laurent Chain Wallet. The YSL Chain Wallet has a zipper pocket in the middle and also many small open pockets.
If you check all these features, you will learn not only how to choose good replicas but also how to spot a YSL tassel bag replica. Good luck!

Saint Laurent Classic Monogram Tassel SatchelCategories:Other Brands
I know what you're thinking. How is this Classic Monogram Tassel Satchel from Saint Laurent actually a satchel, since it doesn't even look like one. There are no buckles on the front, there's no top handle, it's not even that big to begin with, since a satchel is a style of bag that one carries to school with space enough for books and all manner of bric-a-brac.
Honestly, I don't get either. I will, however, tell you what it actually is, a slinky sling bag with to-die-for detailing, from the French house's interlocking YSL signature logo that ends in a tassel to the sling that's long enough to wear the bag one of 3 ways, across the body, over the shoulder or have everything tucked in to use it as a clutch.
Available in embossed crocodile calfskin so it won't cost you an arm and a leg, it comes in the most luscious of hues, from cool Fog (shown above) to sexy Black, both of which are retailing at Saint Laurent Singapore boutiques for SGD3290 apiece. Measuring some 24 cm by 15 cm with an interior patch pocket at the side, have a look here if you still aren't quite convinced and tell me they aren't stunning at all.
Oh yes, it comes in Red too. Made your heart skip a beat I'm sure, right?

I'm trying to get either FreeBSD or PC-BSD running on my desktop machine. The biggest thing holding me back is trying to figure out how to get as much of my current hardware supported as possible. I've been searching the handbook and the Internet and asking on the multimedia FreeBSD and PC-BSD forums, but so far, I can't find anything concrete. Was using a M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card. It died on me. I need to get replacement(s) that can handle the same functionality, line in, line out, analog to digital of at least 24 bits 96 kHz and if possible, midi output support to play from timidity to my organ. I need to get a replacement (or replacements if the midi needs to be a separate device) that will connect by either USB or Firewire. Am hoping to find some options compatible with FreeBSD and/or NetBSD. Does anyone have any suggestions of what hardware will actually work and still do what I need?
Are there any good web sites that discuss what Firewire or USB audio devices work with FreeBSD? Does anyone have any practical experience of what worked for them that they could share? I would really like to replace my audio card, but don't want to make a move until I know I'm purchasing something that will actually function with the operating system. Any help or tips from experience greatly appreciated.

Re: need suggestions for compatible USB audio hardware
Try the freebsd handbook, or look at the source with svnweb/cvsweb (on the site) etc. OSS4 on freebsd unfortunately doesn't do USB (the USB wrapper layer hasn't been written yet).
Re: need suggestions for compatible USB audio hardware
As I mentioned in my post, I've already tried the handbook and several forums. Guess I'll have to go with using Linux or Windows for the machine if there's no support for the type of hardware I'm going to need to get my work done. Would have preferred FreeBSD as an option if there was a way. Don't suppose there are any links to projects where they're working on USB or Firewire audio support for FreeBSD? I'm sure people would volunteer to help if something were in the works.
Re: need suggestions for compatible USB audio hardware
Try the freebsd-multimedia mailing list. I'm sure these guys know the answer...

While it's far from being cleared for any kind of football activity, there was good news for Jermichael Finley today.
According to Ed Werder of ESPN, Finley has been released from the hospital and has returned to his home in Green Bay, after suffering a spinal contusion Sunday.
Finley has already been ruled out for this week's game, and there's no official word on his status for the season, though there have been reports he could need surgery.
But after being strapped to a gurney and immobilized earlier this week, this is a promising sign for his recovery, whether that involves football or not.

Cyber students showing their appreciation by supporting local charity
Posted: 11/12/2010 by AFIT Public Affairs
Giving is receiving is a phrase that is mostly shared during the holiday season. However, these three words also illustrate the hard work and dedication put forth by both instructors and students during 2 weeks of intense cyber professional continuing education (PCE) training. The Center for Cyberspace Research (CCR) is proud to announce that the first graduates of Cyber 300 – Class 11-A, donated $500 to The Fisher Nightingale Houses Inc. in honor of the inaugural class instructors, Lt Col Kevin Wood and Major Melinda Moreau. The students presented their donation to the instructors on October 29th, 2010 as a final farewell and thank you.
The Fisher Nightingale Houses Inc., is a private non-profit 501(c)3 charitable organization. Their mission is to raise funds to support compassionate care lodging for patients and their families receiving critical medical treatment at the Wright-Patterson Medical Center. For more information about The Fisher Nightingale Houses Inc. organization, please visit www.fnhi.org .

HCSB with Strong's Numbers
Buy It Once, Use It On These Platforms
The Holman Christian Standard Bible Exhaustive Concordance (HCSBEC) lets you determine what Hebrew or Greek words underlie the English words without actually having to know the original languages!
In 1890, American Methodist Bible scholar James Strong published a unique reference book: An index of every occurrence of every word in the King James Bible, and the Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek word from which it was translated in each case. By assigning a number to every original language word, Strong made it possible for a layperson with no language experience to quickly find the word in his Hebrew and Greek dictionaries.
This version of the HCSB text includes Strong's numbers embedded next to the corresponding English words. The Strong's numbers are hyperlinked to Strong's dictionary definitions. (Strong's dictionaries are sold separately.)
The Holman Christian Standard Bible is a literal, word-for-word translation from the original languages that has been painstakingly stylized in modern-day English. The result is a text that shows respect for the inerrancy of Scripture--that is clear and understandable without being over-simplified, paraphrased, or held captive to cultural trends. Twenty years in the making, the Holman Christian Standard Bible is the work of 100 scholars collaborating online, in real time, with the benefit of the latest breakthroughs in Bible scholarship.
You'll need a dictionary that is indexed by Strong's numbers in order to get the most out of this Bible. If you already own one of our other Bibles with Strong's numbers that includes a Hebrew and Greek dictionary, those will work with the HCSB with Strong's Numbers. Or consider one of these:

(Reuters) - Adobe Systems Inc, maker of Photoshop and Acrobat software, raised its full-year adjusted earnings forecast after reporting first-quarter results above Wall Street estimates as more customers chose its subscription-based model.
The company raised its full-year adjusted earnings forecast to about $1.45 per share from about $1.40 per share, above analysts' estimates of $1.41 per share.
Shares of the company, which said Chief Technology Officer Kevin Lynch would be leaving, rose 7 percent in extended trade.
Adobe has been shifting to web-based subscription service Creative Cloud since last year from a licensing model.
"We're seeing higher-than-expected conversion rate to the paid model and that's a very positive sign. What that implies is that customers are happy," Edward Jones analyst Josh Olson said.
Creative Cloud enables a customer to subscribe to the company's Creative Suite that includes its popular design titles such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Flash and Dreamweaver.
"The growth is coming from attracting a whole new class of creative professionals," Chief Executive Shantanu Narayen said of Creative Cloud on CNBC.
Adobe said its Creative Cloud exceeded 500,000 paid individual members and free and trial memberships exceeded 2 million, which the company said could lead to more paid membership.
The company said it added about 153,000 net paid subscriptions during the first quarter and that it expects to reach 1.25 million paid subscriptions by the end of this year.
"It looks like consumers are choosing the Creative Cloud... and that's what seems to be driving the results, driving the stock," Macquarie Research analyst Brad Zelnick told Reuters.
Adobe backed its full-year revenue forecast of about $4.1 billion.
Lynch, who had been CTO since 2008, would be leaving effective March 22 to take a position at Apple Inc, Adobe told Reuters in an email.
"We will not be replacing the CTO," an Adobe spokesperson said.
Net income fell to $65.1 million, or 13 cents per share, in the first quarter, from $185.2 million, or 37 cents per share, a year earlier.
Excluding items, the company earned 35 cents per share.
Analysts on average expected adjusted earnings of 31 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Total revenue, however, fell 4 percent to $1 billion due to the transition to the subscription model, but beat analysts' expectation of $986 million.
Subscription revenue more than doubled to $224.3 million.
Adobe's revenue beat analysts' estimates for the second consecutive quarter.
A rapid adoption of subscription model tends to lower revenue in the short term as fees are collected monthly, instead of upfront one-time payment.
Adobe shares, which have risen about 10 percent in the last three months, were up 7 percent at $43.45 in aftermarket trading. They closed at $40.75 on the Nasdaq on Tuesday.

Rocker Rod Stewart has credited his wife, Penny, with helping him overcome his dark moods, insisting the blonde beauty can always cheer him up when he's down.
The "Maggie May" hit maker has been with the mother of his two youngest sons for 13 years, and the star reveals he regularly relies on his partner to lift his spirits.
He tells Britain's The Sun, "I feel the same about Penny today as I did when I met her 13 years ago. She's so sexy and she's my best friend.
"I do get down – I get my black dogs. But they don't last long as Penny digs me out of it. Like last night, I had a bit of a sulk because I didn't really want to go out so she stood in front of me and started dancing. That's how she cheers me up.
"I said to her, 'You could've been the most expensive lap dancer in the world.' But she's everything to me – she's a great wife, a great mom and a great lover. And I'm with her for life."

If this keeps up, the Saints may be calling Rickey Jackson in soon.
According to Larry Holder of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, outside linebacker Junior Galette left practice with a trainer.
This might not be so big a deal if the Saints hadn't already lost projected starter Victor Butler for the season with a torn ACL, and replacement Martez Wilson for several weeks with an elbow injury.
That had the Saints running former Raiders starter Jay Richardson, who was out of football last year, in Galette's spot with the first defense.
If Galette's out any amount of time, the Saints will have to add some reinforcements, if only to get through practice.

I had the same problem until just a moment ago. I disabled ATI Tray Tools, which I had running in the background. Sadly, I can't recall what graphical setting I had that would cause this apart from displaying the frame rate.
Give it a try if this is applicable to your problem.
This is after I updated the drivers of my Radeon 4850

Editor's Note: "Underground Nashville" covers artists, authors, musicians, poets, political figures, and other compelling people and happenings not typically covered by the mainstream Nashville media. It also presents reflections and commentary from an underground/indie perspective. As I told 'The Tennessean' in 2008, "since moving to Nashville twenty-five years ago, I have met people whose lives do not remotely reflect the caricature of what many outside our city presume to be a 'Nashvillian' or the Nashville experience." "Underground Nashville" thus explores the soul of the city, not its surface—offering "thoughts from the shadows of a great American city."

Under-publicized event provides enjoyable, enriching night of Gram Parsons' music
by Dave Carew
Earlier this month, the Gram Parsons Tribute Concert—promoted heavily on this blog and, seemingly, hardly anywhere else—was held at The 5 Spot in Nashville. Despite a crowd that never topped 50-or-so, due to the lack of publicity, the night was a huge musical success, with Walter Egan and Chris James' "Grampyres" being particularly stand-out. The interesting—perhaps sad—truth is that Walter and Chris perform Gram Parsons tunes at a much higher level than Gram or The Flying Burrito Brothers ever did. (Don't get me wrong; I love the Burritos. They just typically left a lot to be desired as a live band, thanks, in no small art, to Gram's illegal smile.)
One curiosity about this show was why The 5 Spot…or the people handling publicity for the show…and/or The Tennessean would choose to bill this concert as "Gram National" in the newspaper listings. "Gram National" means… um…approximately nothing to anyone but those behind the event. And listing the event that way in the newspaper guaranteed that even hard-core Gram Parsons fans in Nashville (of whom there are hundreds if not thousands) would have absolutely no idea a Gram Parsons Tribute Concert was being held at the 5 Spot that night. Which was a pity. Last year, when the simple words "Gram Parsons Tribute Concert" was used in the newspaper, the resulting crowd was (at least) three times larger.
The inability of most musicians to intelligently publicize themselves never ceases to amaze me.
David M. (Dave) Carew is editor of "Underground Nashville" and the author of the novels "Everything Means Nothing to Me: A Novel of Underground Nashville" and "Voice from the Gutter." He also is a freelance book editor, publicist, and copywriter.

I used to use Sony's compact PD-150 and later moved up to a Sony DSR-250 for my main camera. I picked the DSR-250 because of its autofocus, auto-macro, and image-stabilizing lens. It added a dedicated iris ring and perfectly matched images from my PD-150.
Another reason I chose the bulkier DSR-250 is that it offered something I really missed from my pre-DV days. I could put everything on the camcorder—camera battery, light battery, wireless 1 and 2, stereo microphone, wide-angle lens, light, etc. Having it all on the camera with no clunky shoulder harness gives me great run and gun-ability. Being able to record up to 4.7 hours on one tape (in DV) is handy too.
In spite of how happy I was with the 250, I jumped to HD because it's cool and I'm a gadget guy. There were a couple of transitional weeks when I was using a Canon XL1S with the Fujinon "pro" lens. I outfitted it with a Frezzi light and used NPs in a holder attached to the XLR/shoulder brace.
With the Fujinon lens, I immediately missed both the autofocus and the image stabilization of the Sony. Also, the DSR-250 balances nicely on the shoulder and has enough mass to help create steady pictures. The Canon's front-heavy Fujinon lens reminded me how hard it is to keep a bride and her dad in focus as they dance when I'm 25 feet away, zoomed all the way in, in a dark reception hall, and my depth of field is about six inches.
Now I'm using the Sony HDR-FX1. I chose it over the higher-end Z1U because I still need lengthy record times, and the FX1 has an LP mode that lets me record two hours in DV, while the Z1U does not. Only after I bought it did I find that Sony had changed several key features that made their prosumer camcorders so great for event videography.
Wedding receptions offer extreme contrasts between black tuxes and white gowns. With the DSR-250 and PD-150, I can adjust the auto exposure up or down a few stops with one button-tap. This is an excellent feature because it still reacts to ambient light and I can actively compensate. In the FX1, the auto-exposure compensation is buried in a picture profile sub-adjustment menu. It does work while shooting, but it's eight steps in and fills the screen with the menu, which is so cumbersome it's essentially useless. Speaking of menus, it takes some doing getting around Sony's arbitrary limitations in the new cameras, like a digital effect "fader" that doesn't do "overlap" anymore. While I could produce very polished "edit in camera" events—such as dissolves and wipes—with the DSR-250, now I can only fade to white or black.
Rather than bury and eliminate very useful features, Sony should have added true "pro" features to the higher-end camcorder, like a waveform overlay in the viewfinder.
What's more, there is no place to mount a normal wireless receiver on the FX1. Add a light and you have to power it. I've seen people use the consumer lights with the battery built in. They are hot and focused and offer no control. I was spoiled with pro lights and now I insist on using something that's dimmable, rotatable, tiltable, and if possible, focusable too. These require serious 12 V power, and that means big batteries or a belt. I chose batteries. So my wireless receiver, audio splitter, second mic, and light battery have to go somewhere.
Out comes the shoulder harness I used before I got the DSR-250. Nobody makes a camera bag for camera and clunky shoulder harness. So this means constant assembly and disassembly. No more run and gun-ability. Plus, every wire connection and mounting point creates a point of possible failure. Though it has never failed, it's not simple anymore. I've shot a few events with the new system. It works but it ain't pretty.
There's hope on the horizon, with new cameras shown at IBC (see related story). Even though it has a manual, non-stabilized lens, JVC's GY-HD100U looks like a good balance of pro and prosumer, with space for accessories and a pro viewfinder and color LCD combo like I had on the DSR-250. Canon's forthcoming XL-H1 HDV camcorder offers an image-stabilizing and autofocus lens that should make shooting events easier and more reliable. Its LCD screen viewfinder is small at 2", but I can attest that the XL design works well for event video and you can mount everything on the camcorder.
Because we don't charge enough to pay off a $50,000 HDTV camera, HDV is where we're headed. The market is still wide open to the first manufacturer to make a DSR-250-like camera that does HDV. That was nearly the perfect event video camcorder for me. As the market grows with choices, the grass is growing over here on the HDV side, but it's not as green as it looks from over there. Give it time.

Research Interests
Our laboratory is very broadly interested in the evolution of floral morphology. We use molecular, morphological, and phylogenetic approaches to study how flowers have changed over the course of evolutionary time. Research projects in the lab cover a diverse set of topics, including gene lineage evolution and the effects of gene duplication, the morphological diversification of floral parts such as petals and fruits, and the evolutionary and ecological significance of pollinator interactions.
Currently, our major research focus is the lower eudicot model system Aquilegia (columbine). Aquilegia (Ranunculaceae) has been the subject of ecological, evolutionary and genetic studies for over 50 years. The genus consists of approximately 70 perennial taxa distributed in temperate North America, Europe, and Asia and is noted for the nectar spurs that occur on each of the five petals of its flowers. These spurs are tubular outgrowths of the petals with a nectary at their base. Animals probe these tubes to obtain nectar and in doing so pollinate the plants. Although all species exhibit this general floral bauplan, the genus is remarkable for wide variation in floral morphology and color associated with different pollinators. Floral features among species can range, for example, in nectar spur length (from < 1cm to > 12 cm), petal blade length (from 0 cm to > 3 cm), flower orientation (from pendant to upright), and flower color (including blue, purple, red, yellow, green, and white species).
Columbines also occur in diverse habitats, including shaded forests, alpine zones, desert springs, and serpentine outcrops. Some species have dramatic latitudinal and altitudinal ranges such as A. formosa (southern California to Alaska; sea level to 10,000 ft) and A. canadensis (Texas and Georgia to Canada). Thus, striking ranges of habitat occur both within and between species. We are using Aquilegia to study the genetic basis of floral novelty, especially the petal spur and a unique fifth organ identity in Aquilegia, the staminodium. In addition, we are annotating and functionally characterizing a wide range of relevant gene families, including the small RNA complement.
For my sabbatical at the Arnold Arboretum, I will be working on a range of manuscripts as well as (hopefully) making significant progress on a book entitled "Plant Developmental Evolution" to be published by Princeton University Press.

'Traditional' Versus Interest-based Negotiation
From: Claudette, Maple Grove, Minnesota
Boutique Boutique promotion Marc Marc Joseph Joseph Marc promotion Wedges Boutique promotion Joseph Wedges Question: What is the difference between traditional and interest based bargaining? Response: Most people view the traditional process of negotiation as a means for doing whatever you can to maximize your gains — or minimize your losses — when reaching an agreement in a transaction involving an exchange of assets. Traditional bargaining is often seen as requiring that the parties each take and hold to a position. In common parlance, that's referred to as the 'my way or the highway' approach.Heels promotion Angiolini Boutique promotion Enzo Angiolini Enzo Heels Boutique Pw8gxq Assets are exchanged in interest-based negotiation as well, but there is more consideration given to why a particular outcome is desired by each negotiating party. In very general terms, the answer to the 'why' question reveals a party's interests. When parties are negotiating over interests, the process can become more collaborative. Someone will want to negotiate with a particular other party because the initiator of the process thinks — hopes — that the other party can add value to his/her situation. When a party adopts and tries to stick to a position, often the only way s/he can change from that position means they have to back down, to lose face. If the negotiators focus on interests, changing the design of elements of possible agreement is less a sign of backing down and more indicative of discovering that someone else's ideas contribute to a better way of satisfying interests. Some folks call interest-based negotiation the 'win/win' approach. We view interest-based negotiation as a process that yields an agreement each party will willingly fulfill. That recognizes that absolute equality of results is not necessarily a realistic expectation in negotiation — but that a fair process can yield a more durable agreement. Good luck, Steve

NHL CapsulesNHL.com @NHLdotcom
CHICAGO - Duncan Keith and Andrew Shaw scored in a 39-second span at the start of Chicago's five-goal second period Wednesday night, sparking the Blackhawks to a 7-2 victory over Ray Emery and the Philadelphia Flyers.
Patrick Sharp had a goal and two assists for Chicago, which has won three in a row after a three-game losing streak. Michal Handzus scored a short-handed goal in the second and Marian Hossa had three assists, helping rookie goaltender Antti Raanta win his second consecutive start in place of injured Corey Crawford.
The seven goals set a season high for the Blackhawks (23-6-5), who have scored 19 times during their winning streak and lead the NHL with 129 goals. Shaw's nifty wraparound at 1:22 of the second made it six players with at least 10 goals for the defending Stanley Cup champions, who are once again on top of the league standings with 51 points.
Emery was pulled in the third period of his first start in Chicago since he teamed with Crawford to give the Blackhawks one of the best goaltending tandems in the league last season. He signed a free-agent deal with Philadelphia in July.
Jakub Voracek and Steve Downie scored power-play goals for the Flyers, who have lost three straight.
TORONTO (AP) ??? Jeff Carter scored the tiebreaking goal midway through the third period and Los Angeles beat Toronto for its fifth straight victory.
Carter beat former teammate Jonathan Bernier with a wrist shot between the legs on a 2-on-1 break for his eighth of the season. Kyle Clifford added an insurance goal with 1:59 remaining and Drew Doughty also scored for Los Angeles.
Following a 6-0 victory Tuesday night in Montreal, the Kings improved to 12-1-4 in their last 17 games.
Martin Jones, a 23-year-old rookie, made 38 saves to earn his fourth win in four NHL starts.
Cody Franson scored his first of the season for Toronto.

When the answer to our economic well being depends on consumers being more willing to spend, the last thing you want to do is hide your product, or subtract from its appeal. But that is precisely what the State of Vermont is doing by suspending its Seal of Quality program.
The program is being suspended because the state's agriculture department doesn't have the resources to monitor the program. At present all a Vermont food producer needs to do is to send in a check for $20 and the seal is granted.

MOUNT AIRY, Md. (AP) — Maryland Rep. Chris Van Hollen is opening an office in Carroll County.
Van Hollen, a Democrat who represents Maryland's 8th congressional district, is holding a grand opening celebration on Monday evening at his new district office in Mount Airy.
Of Maryland's eight congressional districts, Van Hollen's district was one of the most substantially changed by the redistricting process, along with the neighboring 6th congressional district once held by former Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, a Republican.
Van Hollen's district had been almost entirely in Montgomery County, prior to changes in the state's congressional map approved by the Maryland General Assembly in 2011.
The changes brought the 8th congressional district up into large portions of Frederick and Carroll counties, which had been in Bartlett's district.
Bartlett lost his re-election bid last year.

Animal Rescues and Shelters do their best to move the animals around but need volunteers to transport the animals to their forever homes. Rescues and Shelters use Doobert.com to create their transport requests to get the animals where they need to go, but we need volunteer transport coordinators to help set up and manage the trip. You don't even have to leave your home. All you need is a computer and a phone and we'll train you how to do it.

Texans owner Bob McNair had a good line Thursday about the Las Vegas sports books and the Texans' over/under win total being at 10, the highest it has ever been, according to Covers.com, which reported the first lines of the 2012 season from Cantor Gaming this week.
"I guess they got tired of losing money out there, putting our over-and-under too low, so they're getting more realistic," McNair said.
At this time of year, when no football is being played (please stop asking me how so-and-so is looking in OTAs … he is looking like a guy in shorts, that's how he is looking) we have to get excited about words, because that is all we have.
Words can be entertaining. (Reggie Herring said a few years ago that Bradie James was as good as Ray Lewis.)
As for McNair's comment, from the sound of it you would think one could have made a fortune betting the over on the Texans every year.
If you took the over on the Texans every season of their existence, you would have won six times, lost three times and pushed once. Not bad. (corrected)
The Texans beat the over last year with their first 10-win season, that could easily have been 11 wins had they tried to win the final meaningless game against the Titans. But they went under the O/U wins total in 2010.
The Texans are on a good run by winning more games than the O/U five times in Gary Kubiak's six seasons.
Not that I'm one to brag, but I had them going over every season since Kubiak took over, a huge under in 2005, and unders also in '02, '03 and '04, making me 7-2-1 on the meaningless preseason call.
I assume McNair took the over every year and will take the over again this year. Will you?
It is probably a bet on whether Matt Schaub starts 16 games.
On a historical side note, let me remind you, the last five times Wade Phillips took over as a team's defensive coordinator, those teams made the playoffs in his first season. None had a better season the following year.
Four of the teams had a worse record the next season and didn't make the playoffs, and one had the same record to make the playoffs, but didn't win a postseason game after winning one the year before.
Will the 2012 Texans break the pattern?

See Inside Miranda Lambert's Gorgeous 400-Acre Tennessee Estate [Pictures]
Miranda Lambert's house sits an hour south of Nashville on 400 acres of green and farmland. Pictures show rolling hills, rustic living spaces and an enormous horse barn — it's very Miranda.
The superstar reportedly spent $3.4 million in 2016 on a piece of property that includes three residences, a lake with boathouse and a six-bay garage. Variety says that there are 75 acres of fenced-in pastureland, as well as lighted walking trails that wind through the woods leading to a pavilion, with seating for 60 for private concerts.
According to several real estate listing websites, the property sold in September of 2016.
Kelly Clarkson's Tennessee Estate Is Jaw-Dropping!
In addition to a well-appointed main residence, Lambert's property also features two rustic, but luxurious cabins. The larger cabin has a large front porch, a living/dining room with high ceilings and a stone fireplace, a small, but well-planned kitchen, one bedroom and a sleeping loft, and a large bathroom with double sinks.
A wood footbridge leads over a stream to the smaller cabin, which has a combination living room and bedroom, fireplace, a kitchenette, and a bathroom that boasts a clawfoot tub.
Lambert has remained in Nashville since she and Blake Shelton divorced in July of 2015. He kept the Oklahoma home they shared, while she reportedly got the 11,000 square-foot Nashville house they bought in 2013.
