Justia guest columnist and Temple law professor David Post offers a clear, detailed explanation of SOPA (and similar bills), and the reasons why they eventually failed—and, Post argues, should have failed. As Post explains, SOPA's aim was to reduce or eliminate access to websites that are dedicated to infringing activities, and are operating outside of U.S. borders. (Such offshore websites offer, for example, copyrighted music or movies for download, or sell knockoffs of trademarked products, all without proper authorization from the rights holder.) Post explains why SOPA failed, noting that it would have done damage to the technical infrastructure of the Internet. For that, and other reasons—including SOPA's disregard for due process when it comes to foreigners and their sites—Post argues that SOPA's plan for Internet law enforcement, based on seizing and sanctioning domain names, is deeply flawed.
Predicting Presidential Performance: Why Mitt Romney Would Be an Active/Negative President Like Bush II, Nixon, LBJ, Hoover, and Wilson
Justia columnist and former counsel to the president John Dean comments on the leadership style that Mitt Romney would likely employ if he were to be elected president. In characterizing Romney's likely style, Dean relies in part on a framework developed by James David Barber in his book "The Presidential Character: Predicting Performance in the White House." As Dean explains, Barber puts presidents into four categories, based on two factors: (1) how actively or passively the president performs in his political role; and (2) whether the president enjoys or dislikes the activities that his role requires. Whereas Dean deems President Obama an active/positive president under Barber's scheme, like JFK and Clinton, Dean believes that Romney would be an active/negative president, as was George W. Bush. In light of these categorizations, Dean concludes that Obama ought to be allowed to finish what he has started, with a second term in office, and that—based on news accounts and on two recent biographies of Romney—a Romney presidency could well be more than the country can handle at this point in time.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Strikes Down Proposition 8: Three Key Elements of the Decision
Justia columnist and Cardozo law professor Marci Hamilton comments on several key aspects of the recent decision, by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, holding that Proposition 8—the initiative constitutional amendment purporting to abolish gay marriage in California—violates equal protection. Hamilton focuses, in particular, on (1) the standing issue and the problems the initiative procedure raised; (2) the question whether Prop. 8 had any legitimate purpose, or was simply driven by animus toward gay people; and (3) why the U.S. Supreme Court is unlikely to take the case.
The Supreme Court Decides the GPS Case, United States v. Jones, and the Fourth Amendment Evolves: Part One in a Two-Part Series of Columns
In Part One in a two-part series of columns, Justia columnist and Cornell law professor Sherry Colb comments on the Supreme Court's recent GPS (Global Positioning System) decision, which concerned the scope of the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. As Colb explains, the Court was unanimous regarding the decision's result: The police had, indeed, performed a Fourth Amendment search or seizure by—without a warrant—attaching a GPS device to a suspect's car, and using the device to monitor the car's movements over a four-week period. Interestingly, though, Colb points out that the Court was divided as to the reason for the result—offering two alternative rationales for the case's outcome. Here, in Part One, Colb explains the seminal precedent of Katz v. United States, and other key Fourth Amendment precedents, including one that involved tracking a car with a beeper device. In Part Two, appearing here on Justia's Verdict next Wednesday, February 15, Colb will consider why this case divided Justices Scalia and Alito.
The Beginning of the End of the Anti-Same-Sex-Marriage Movement
Justia columnist and Hofstra law professor Joanna Grossman comments on the situation in Washington State, which is now poised to legalize same-sex marriage. Grossman contends that the Washington State situation is significant not only because Washington State will now become the seventh state to legalize same-sex marriage, but also because—for the first time since the beginning of the same-sex marriage controversy—a state legislature will move from a statutory ban on same-sex marriage, to a statutory authorization of it. Grossman covers Washington State's path through many different stages of the same-sex marriage controversy; the details of the bill passed by the Washington State senate; and the potential implications of the State of Washington's experience for the same-sex marriage movement more generally.
How The Litigation Over California's Anti-Same-Sex-Marriage Prop. 8 Gave Rise to a First Amendment Fight
Justia columnist and attorney Julie Hilden comments on a recent ruling by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, regarding videotapes of witness testimony in the Prop. 8 trial. The facts were as follows: Chief Judge Walker of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, who presided over the trial, promised witnesses who supported the anti-gay-marriage Prop. 8 that the videotapes of their testimony would not be used except by the judge himself, in chambers, and he accordingly placed the videotapes under seal. However, Chief Judge Walker himself used some of the tapes during public appearances, and his successor, Chief Judge Ware, attempted to unseal the tapes despite Judge Walker's promise to witnesses that the tapes would be kept under seal. Hilden notes the crucial difference here between a ruling, which can often be reversed or amended, and a direct promise to witnesses, on which the witnesses may rely. Here, the promise was especially grave, as witnesses suggested that they feared for their safety if the videotapes were to be released.
The Buffett Rule Is an Imperfect Form of Tax Justice, but an Important Step in the Right Direction
Justia columnist, economist, and George Washington law professor Neil Buchanan comments on the controversy regarding the "Buffett Rule," Warren Buffett's observation that he surely should not pay a lesser percentage of his income in taxes than his secretary does. This rule—and the principle behind it—proved to be especially relevant this week, Buchanan notes, when presidential candidate Mitt Romney released some of his tax returns. Buchanan explains how wealthy Americans typically receive special tax treatment, and argues that it is not true that—as some claim—this treatment is necessary to induce the wealthy to invest. He also lauds the Buffett Rule as a key step toward reaching our ultimate goals as a nation, and ensuring the fair treatment of all Americans, regardless of income.
English Language Proficiency and Elective Office in the Southwest: An Arizona Ballot-Access Case Poses Important Questions
Justia columnist and U.C., Davis law professor Vikram David Amar comments on an interesting Arizona case involving the question whether candidates for office can be required to be proficient in English. As Amar explains, the case arose from a dispute in San Luis, Arizona, a small southwestern city where the vast majority of the inhabitants are Mexican-American and where the Spanish language is pervasive. There, the Mayor has challenged the eligibility of a candidate for City Council, Alejandrina Cabrera, and has sought to block her name from the ballot on the ground that she is not proficient in English. In so doing, the Mayor invoked longstanding Arizona law. After an expert found Cabrera not to be sufficiently proficient in English, her name was removed from the ballot. She now seeks relief from the Arizona Supreme Court. Amar considers precedents and analogies that are relevant to whether Cabrera should win her case.
Repealing the NDAA
Justia columnist and Hunter College Human Rights Program Director Joanne Mariner comments on the Due Process Guarantee Act of 2011—a bill that states that a congressional authorization for the use of military force does not allow the indefinite detention of citizens or lawful permanent residents arrested in the U.S., unless Congress explicitly provides for such detention. As Mariner explains, this clear-statement rule would offer citizens and resident non-citizens in the U.S. default protection against indefinite detention without charge, unless Congress plainly authorized such detention. Nevertheless, Mariner notes that she is of two minds about the Act. On one hand, Mariner believes that the Due Process Guarantee Act would effect a welcome change to the detention provisions of the controversial NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) regarding U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents of the U.S. On the other hand, though, Mariner points out that the Due Process Guarantee Act would do nothing to solve the problem of the indefinite detention, by the U.S., of non-resident aliens at Guantanamo—which Mariner contends is, by far, the U.S.'s most urgent and glaring detention problem.
Facebook's New Timeline Feature: Will It Increase Users' Risk of Identity Theft?
Justia columnist and U. Washington law professor Anita Ramasastry comments on Facebook's new, mandatory "Timeline" feature, and the possibility that this feature may make identify theft targeted at Facebook users easier to accomplish. As she explains, Timeline encourages users to volunteer additional information, beyond what they had previously provided to Facebook. Also, Timeline will work in conjunction with a set of "frictionless" apps that will not notify the Facebook user each time his or her information is shared with a person or business With more and more information about people becoming available online on sites like Facebook, Ramasastry argues, both online and offline identity theft may well become simpler and more common.
Some Legal and Policy Ramifications of Newt Gingrich's Plan to Colonize the Moon
Justia columnist and Cornell law professor Michael Dorf comments on remarks that Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich made last week, promising that if he were to be elected president, then by the end of his second term, he will have established a colony on the Moon. Could that really happen? And if it did, would it be a good idea? Dorf considers present technological limits, and legal obstacles stemming from U.S. treaty commitments. While highly skeptical of the Gingrich proposal, Dorf does find a kernel of sense in it: Gingrich, Dorf notes, may well be right that the colonization of space could be the key to the long-term survival of human civilization.
The Montana Supreme Court Arguably Flouts the Citizens United Ruling: Will It Be Reversed?
Justia columnist and former counsel to the president John Dean comments on a recent Montana Supreme Court (MSC) ruling that purports to find an exception to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in its Citizens United v. FEC decision. (Citizens United held that corporate campaign contributions are protected as political speech under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.) However, the MSC held that Montana's own statute, the Montana Corrupt Practices Act, with its ban on corporate contributions, was importantly different from the ban on corporate campaign money that had been at issue in Citizens United, in part due to Montana history. In support of its holding, the MSC reasoned that Montana had a compelling state interest in the enforcement of the Act—especially as the evidence showed that the passage of the Act had been spurred by the situation that existed when it was passed, one hundred years ago, when Montana government was deeply corrupted by corporate influence. Dean notes that it is unclear whether the Supreme Court will intervene here—and whether, if it does, Montana's unique history and special vulnerability to corporate influence, based on a number of factors, might save its longstanding statute.
New York City and State Consider Seeking to Reverse the Second Circuit's Decision in the Bronx Household of Faith Case, Regarding Whether a Church Can Make a Public School Its House of Worship
Justia columnist and Cardozo law professor Marci Hamilton comments on a New York church-and-state case in which the U.S. Supreme Court recently declined to grant review. As Hamilton explains, the case concerned a religious group, the Bronx Household of Faith, which sought to continue to use a public middle school on the weekends for Christian worship services, followed by a "fellowship meal"—without providing payment to the school, and while taking advantage of the free use of the school's utilities. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled, 2-1, against the Bronx Household of Faith, on the ground that the group did not have an "all comers" policy. Indeed, Hamilton notes, Bronx Household specifically excludes anyone who is not baptized, who is excommunicated, or who advocates the Islamic religion. Hamilton argues that both the Second Circuit panel's decision and that of the U.S. Supreme Court were clearly correct as a matter of constitutional law. And yet, she notes, New York City and New York State are now hearing arguments to once again open the public schools to religious groups, including groups that lack "all comers" policies.
Governor Cuomo Urges New York Constitutional Amendment Legalizing Casino Gambling: Good Idea or Serious Mistake?
Justia columnist and Cornell law professor Sherry Colb comments on New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's proposed amendment to the New York State Constitution, which would legalize casino gambling. Even Cuomo's father, former New York Governor Mario Cuomo, opposes the measure. But is he correct to do so? Colb notes the common argument that casino gambling is, in effect, a regressive tax—that is, one that disproportionately burdens less affluent people. However, she argues that for many people—putting gambling addicts aside—gambling is simply another form of entertainment. And for someone with a modest income, Colb points out, many forms of entertainment—for instance, going to the movies—could also be seen as effectively imposing a regressive tax on those who are of modest means, but still opt to participate. She also contends that since many bans on enjoyable activities have, over history, been based on religious motivations, it is worth looking skeptically at such bans when they still exist today. A key question needs to be asked, Colb says: Is a gambling ban like New York's meant to protect would-be gamblers' pocketbooks (a permissible objective), or to save their souls (an impermissible objective)? Colb also notes that those who are addicted to an activity are likely to avail themselves of illegal alternatives, rather than abiding by a ban—rendering a ban potentially futile, and regulation a wiser choice.
Men Who Give It Away: The Potential Perils of Free and Non-Anonymous Sperm Donation
Justia columnist and Hofstra law professor Joanna Grossman comments on the legal consequences of different forms of free, non-anonymous sperm donation. As she explains, some of these donations are connected to the online Free Sperm Donor Registry. Grossman, relying in part on previous reportage by 20/20, comments on situations such as that of a man who has given away so much sperm that the government has told him to stop its "manufacture," and men who donate sperm via what is called "natural insemination"—that is, sex. Grossman explains why in-person sperm donation, especially via "natural insemination" raises complex questions about the legal rights and obligations of the sperm donor—with donors potentially liable for child support, and potentially able to seek visitation or even co-parent status. She also notes that in-person sperm donation may be governed by—and may, in some instances, violate—FDA regulations pertaining to the donation of human cells and tissue. Among other legal sources, Grossman covers the original and revised Uniform Parentage Act (UPA) in the column.
The Supreme Court's Decision in Golan v. Holder: Can the U.S. Government Constitutionally Pull Works Out of the Public Domain?
Justia columnist and attorney Julie Hilden comments on the Supreme Court's recent decision in Golan v. Holder, which allowed certain works by foreign authors to be pulled out of the U.S.'s public domain, and put under U.S. copyright protection. The works' status had been changed by statute, so that the U.S. could comply with an international treaty. Drawing heavily on its prior copyright-extension decision in Eldred v. Ashcroft, the Court allowed the works at issue in Golan to be newly subjected to copyright—despite arguments to the contrary that were based on the Copyright and Patent Clause, and on the First Amendment. In dissent, Justice Breyer, joined by Justice Alito, argued that the public-domain works at issue ought to retain their current status, due in part to First Amendment concerns; in part to practical problems, such as problems with "orphan works," the copyright status of which is difficult and costly to determine; and in part to a utilitarian reading of the Clause.
The Lower Court Rulings in Nordyke and Heller II Highlight Judicial Confusion Over Gun Rights: Part Two in a Two-Part Series on the Ways in Which Lower Courts and the Supreme Court Will Need to Flesh Out Second Amendment Doctrine
Justia columnist Vikram David Amar and Justia guest columnist Alan Brownstein, both U.C., Davis law professors, continue their series of columns on the Second Amendment and how courts have recently interpreted it, with a special focus on the Supreme Court's decision in District of Columbia v. Heller, which—while it left many questions unresolved—did establish that there is an individual right to bear arms in certain circumstances. In this column, Part Two in the series, Amar and Brownstein comment on several recent right-to-bear-arms opinions from the U.S. Courts of Appeals. In a Ninth Circuit opinion, Nordyke, the judges agreed on the proper result, but very significantly disagreed on the analysis that should be applied—with each borrowing analogies from other areas of constitutional doctrine, such as free speech doctrine, to give just one example. But Amar and Brownstein question whether these analogies can really work, especially in light of the diversity of fundamental rights doctrine. In light of that diversity, they contend, the choice, in a gun rights case, among all the possible analogies to other rules relating to other rights must be well justified. To make matters even more complicated, moreover, Amar and Brownstein point out that in a D.C. Circuit opinion, Heller II, a totally different framework for reviewing gun regulations than the one the Ninth Circuit panel used, was employed.
Why Interdisciplinary Legal Scholarship Is Good for the Law, the Academy, and Society at Large
Justia columnist, George Washington law professor, and economist Neil Buchanan responds to some of the common criticisms of interdisciplinary legal scholarship, defending such scholarship on the ground that it makes a valuable contribution. He begins by noting how legal scholarship has changed over the years, beginning around the 70's, from a field that primarily summarized legal developments, to one that primarily describes how the law could and should change. As a result of this evolution, Buchanan argues, it made sense to bring in other academic disciplines to assist law professors who were interested in improving policies, and who wanted to draw from the relevant schools of thought in framing their policy recommendations and developing their ideas. There has been nostalgia on the part of some—and, especially, some judges—for legal scholarship the way it used to be: primarily focused on describing the law, not improving it. But Buchanan argues that this nostalgia, while understandable, is misplaced, for combining legal expertise with expertise in another field can importantly further the debate on important policy matters. Some questions, Buchanan notes, are truly interdisciplinary and for these, interdisciplinary scholarship is not just useful, but vital.
The Indefinite Detention of Citizens and Non-Citizens Under the NDAA
Justia columnist and Hunter College Human Rights Program Director Joanne Mariner comments on the provisions of the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) relating to the detention of citizens and non-citizens. She begins by noting that, last week, the tenth anniversary of the military prison at Guantanamo occurred, and was the subject of comment by the media, but this brief focus on the prison and its prisoners was the exception to the rule. In addition, she points out that the NDAA addresses the very issue that Guantanamo embodies, indefinite detention without charge, and does so in a way that has sparked sharp criticism from conservatives and liberals alike. Mariner focuses here, however, on a less-remarked aspect of the NDAA: Although its provision for indefinite detention for American citizens has been highly controversial, far less attention has been paid to its provision for indefinite detention for non-citizens—of which there are 171 being currently held at Guantanamo; all but five indefinitely (of the five, four were convicted and one faces terrorism and other charges). Mariner calls for more attention to the NDAA's treatment of non-citizens, reminding readers that indefinite detention for Americans remains theoretical, but indefinite detention for those incarcerated at Guantanamo is very real.
Facebook's "If I Die" App Should Remind Us That We Each Need a Digital Death Plan
Justia columnist and U. Washington law professor Anita Ramasastry points out that even if we are using the "If I Die" app, which allows Facebook users to send a final message to loved ones, there are many other aspects of our digital lives that will also need attention when we die, and for which we should also plan. Ramasastry covers the provisions for user death in the Terms of Service (ToS) of popular online services such as Yahoo!, Gmail, Facebook, Apple, and YouTube. She also considers questions relating to the inheritance of digital property ranging from copyrighted online work, to virtual property with real-world value. Ramasastry also comments on why one might want to use a "digital undertaker" service; on the need to amend states' law across the country in order to protect virtual property; and on the state-law question whether the rights of privacy and publicity can—and should—survive a person's death.

Way back in the good old days of 2004, writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Mark Bagley put together a two-part story in "Ultimate Spider-Man" that found Wolverine and Spider-Man switching brains. The first part of the story was titled, "Even We Don't Believe This," the second part, "Jump The Shark." And the whole thing was as winky as you might expect, down to the reasoning behind the switch: Jean Grey switches their brains to teach Wolverine a lesson about treating women the right way, to which Cyclops asks, "You can do that?" followed by Jean Grey saying, "Don't question it."
So yeah, it was a bit of a lark - and meant to be that way, according to Bendis, who we chatted with about the story earlier this week. Now, he's revisiting the story with a different context and motivations in Disney XD's "Ultimate Spider-Man" cartoon for an episode called "Freaky," which premieres this Sunday at 11am. How does it compare to the comic that proceeded it, and does it feel like a double dip?
Actually, if anything, the animated episode is better than the two-parter. The twenty-two minute format lets Bendis expand on the ideas, jokes, and themes of the comic. And interestingly, the writer's tendency towards decompression tempers the cartoon's tendency towards manic-ness. They meet each other nicely in the middle, and this might just be the most solid episode of "Ultimate Spider-Man" yet.
In particular, the jokes work brilliantly here. I won't spoil them too much, as really, seeing how Wolverine acts in Spider-Man's body and vice versa is the whole draw here. But seeing Logan in a Spidey pose, and Wolverine try - and fail - to use Spider-Man's webs is laugh out loud funny. If there's one joke that does suffer in translation, the first time in the comic that Peter Parker - in Wolverine's body - pops his claws, he cuts off his own finger. On Disney XD, you can't really reach that level of violence, so there's a similar moment that mostly happens off screen. Left to the viewer's imagination, it's not quite as shocking.
Still, the joke of Wolver-Parker never quite getting the gist of Wolverine's claws is a visual gift that keeps on giving, and the moving medium benefits that particular bit brilliantly... Where a comic would have to take two panels just to have Wolverine pop his claws, here, they can be going non-stop while he tries to explain that he's not really Wolverine.
Another step up for the cartoon over the comic is the addition of Sabretooth (and Mesmero) as a villain. In the two-parter, there really was no villain, just a series of bits pitting Spider-Man and Wolverine against each other. Here, Sabretooth attacks Wolverine - because that's what he does - and seeing how Spider-Man in Wolverine's body tries to keep him at bay is delightful. It also adds a real reason for the pair to want to switch back - or at least figure out how to get each other's bodies to work the right way - because otherwise, they're going to die.
Also delightful? Steve Blum, who's voiced Wolverine before, and here does a brilliant job of channeling Peter Parker's tone of voice through Wolverine's "actual" voice. Hearing Logan crack and break when he gets nervous is a comic gift that keeps on giving as well.
There are a few downsides, though... The episode takes a little bit longer than it should to get going (though once it does, it's pretty much non-stop fun); and the resolution isn't really much better than it was in the comic. If anything - though there's a completely different reasoning here - the comic might have a leg up, because the whole joke was that nothing that happened in the two issues really "mattered." Here, we're supposed to be getting some character development for Spider-Man... And the eventual moral doesn't really connect too well with the rest of the episode.
Still, for about fifteen minutes or so in the middle, "Freaky" is laugh out loud funny... Here's hoping the "Ultimate Spider-Man" channels more of this fun, with a more tempered pace through the rest of the season.
"Freaky" premieres on Disney XD on Sunday at 11AM ET/PT!

Smart Mobs connects to a Nytimes article on a new credit card security feature which works with your voice.
Enclosed in the card is a tiny microphone, a loudspeaker and a chip with voice recognition chip. To use the card, its owner must speak a password, which the chip compares with a sample recorded on the card. If the voices match, the card emits a set of beeps that authorize the transaction over the telephone or through a microphone on the shopper's computer. If the voiceprints don't agree, the card will not beep.
This is the next level of technology security and certainly lowers the RISK.

Replication of linkage at chromosome 20p13 and identification of suggestive sex-differential risk loci for autism spectrum disorder
Replication of linkage at chromosome 20p13 and identification of suggestive sex-differential risk loci for autism spectrum disorder - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Molecular Autism
, 5:13
First Online: 17 February 2014Received: 27 August 2013Accepted: 24 January 2014
BackgroundAutism spectrum disorders ASDs are male-biased and genetically heterogeneous. While sequencing of sporadic cases has identified de novo risk variants, the heritable genetic contribution and mechanisms driving the male bias are less understood. Here, we aimed to identify familial and sex-differential risk loci in the largest available, uniformly ascertained, densely genotyped sample of multiplex ASD families from the Autism Genetics Resource Exchange AGRE, and to compare results with earlier findings from AGRE.
MethodsFrom a total sample of 1,008 multiplex families, we performed genome-wide, non-parametric linkage analysis in a discovery sample of 847 families, and separately on subsets of families with only male, affected children male-only, MO or with at least one female, affected child female-containing, FC. Loci showing evidence for suggestive linkage logarithm of odds ≥2.2 in this discovery sample, or in previous AGRE samples, were re-evaluated in an extension study utilizing all 1,008 available families. For regions with genome-wide significant linkage signal in the discovery stage, those families not included in the corresponding discovery sample were then evaluated for independent replication of linkage. Association testing of common single nucleotide polymorphisms SNPs was also performed within suggestive linkage regions.
ResultsWe observed an independent replication of previously observed linkage at chromosome 20p13 P < 0.01, while loci at 6q27 and 8q13.2 showed suggestive linkage in our extended sample. Suggestive sex-differential linkage was observed at 1p31.3 MO, 8p21.2 FC, and 8p12 FC in our discovery sample, and the MO signal at 1p31.3 was supported in our expanded sample. No sex-differential signals met replication criteria, and no common SNPs were significantly associated with ASD within any identified linkage regions.
ConclusionsWith few exceptions, analyses of subsets of families from the AGRE cohort identify different risk loci, consistent with extreme locus heterogeneity in ASD. Large samples appear to yield more consistent results, and sex-stratified analyses facilitate the identification of sex-differential risk loci, suggesting that linkage analyses in large cohorts are useful for identifying heritable risk loci. Additional work, such as targeted re-sequencing, is needed to identify the specific variants within these loci that are responsible for increasing ASD risk.

Sofia Vergara Opens Up About Raising Her Son Manolo as a Single Mom
Sofia Vergara braves the windy day and stops by a skincare center on Monday (April 25) in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The 43-year-old Modern Family star recently opened up about her 23-year-old son Manolo.
"Every time people compliment me about my son, Manolo, it is very rewarding," Sofia told People. "I was really young when I divorced his father, so I raised him trying to set the best example and give him the best that I could. When people compliment me on him, on how well mannered, how charming, funny and well-behaved he is, it makes all the sacrifices worthwhile."

The boat ride along the Bay of Kotor took around three quarters of an hour, passing gorgeous scenery in glorious conditions until we reached our first stop of Our Lady of the Rocks.
Our Lady of the Rocks is an artificial island created by sinking ships loaded with rocks and rocks dropped on top of them. The tradition of dropping rocks was allegedly started by sailors to give praise for a successful voyage and still takes place in a more ceremonial form to this day. On the surface of the island stands a Catholic church and museum.
While the boat ride had been just about perfect temperature-wise on account of the breeze off the waters of the bay as we moved the same couldn't be said for Our Lady of the Rocks itself. The sun had risen as we'd travelled so it was hotter than it had been at the start of the cruise excursion and there was barely a breath of wind. The exposed location on the island was uncomfortable for me and my wife – we don't handle hot temperatures very well – but that was nothing compared to actually going insde the church and museum, neither of which (as you can imagine) were air conditioned. We had to wait for another tour group to vacate the place first as it can't handle too many people at once. It was still very crowded with just our boat-lot visiting but inside it was very interesting. Decorations in the church were modestly impressive and throughout it and the museum there were plenty of examples of local art. We would have appreciated it all more if we weren't so intent on getting outside for some air but none of this should put you off considering a visit if you're ever visiting Montenegro.

Cimex lectularius, more commonly known as bed bugs, are small insects that feed exclusively on the blood of warm-blooded animals. Humans can be perfect hosts for this hematophagy (feeding on blood), so bed bug populations can thrive and quickly become an infestation.
Bed bugs can live in any area of the home and can reside in tiny cracks in furniture as well as on textiles and upholstered furniture. They tend to be most common in areas where people sleep and generally concentrate in beds, including mattresses, and bed frames.
Bed bugs are most active at night and bite any exposed areas of skin while an individual is sleeping. The face, neck, hands, and arms are common sites for bedbug bites.
Feeding takes about five minutes, after which the bug returns to its hiding place. Bites are not noticeable by the host until at least a few minutes or some hours afterwards. Hosts, for example humans, will be aware of a bite after scratching it. Often bites may not be noticeable for several days.
Bed bugs will feed every five to ten days. They can, however, last for several months without feeding. If there is no food around they can become dormant for over a year.
Bed bugs are on the rise across the UK with pest control companies reporting more call outs than ever before. An increase in foreign travel and resistance to the chemicals that kill them are being blamed.
They can be difficult to detect and complicated to get rid of. The key is to establish the extent of the infestation by consulting a professional pest controller.

Getting off the grid!
This family, in Toronto, shows that it can be done. They've lived off-the-grid house for 10 years. While the initial building cost was 12 per cent more than normal, the savings on utilities since then have paid for the initial costs, and now whatever they save from hereon represent additional savings. Additionally, they have almost no environmental impact. http://www.thestar.com/article/308450

Now Viewing:
Value: $9.99
Product Highlights
Optimized to provide accurate and true views at long range, the Athlon Optics 8x42 Argos Binocular is engineered to deliver peak performance in all light conditions. It is outfitted with broadband anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics, dielectric coated and phase-corrected BAK4 roof prisms, and protective exterior lens coatings that work together to maximize light transmission through the entire light path. The results are bright, sharp, and clear high-contrast views with accurate color fidelity and crisp resolution across the entire visual spectrum—even in challenging conditions like at dawn and dusk, or when peering into dense underbrush or thick canopies. To further improve the observational experience, the Argos is designed with a long eye relief, wide exit pupil, and apparent angle of view that approaches wide-angle to present an immersive observational experience that is comfortable to view for long periods of time.
Athlon thoughtfully constructed the Argos to make it easy and comfortable to hold and allow it to withstand the elements. Its overall open-bridge/dual-hinge design provides more gripping surface area than conventional closed-bridge configurations without sacrificing strength and stability. The optical tubes are argon-filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging if the weather turns or they take an accidental spill in a stream or puddle. Protecting the optical components is a polymer composite chassis that is lightweight and durable as well as resistant to the expansion and contraction that metal suffers from and which can lead to fuzzy views over time. Ergonomic and slip-resistant armoring provides a sure grip, and ridged palm-pad and finger rest accents further improve grip strength. Athlon includes objective lens caps and a one-piece ocular rainguard to protect the exterior lens surfaces. To keep the caps and rainguard safe during use, they are tethered to the body and strap, respectively. For those who experience fatigue when holding large optics for long periods, the Argos can be tripod mounted using an optional adapter for easy hands-free use.

This blog is about starting over and following your dreams. I left a 25 year career in the television industry to move to Hawaii with my husband. Our only intention was to downsize and lead a simple life. This is the story of how it unfolds.
That is AWESOME about the writing! As I've told you, you are my inspiration, lady. :) Congratulations!ReplyDelete
Thanks honey! Try the recipe and let me know what you think!ReplyDelete
I don't know that I can get apple bananas BUT my email from the Grant Fam Farms CSA said that the apples are starting to come in, so I'll have to find lots of things to put apples in! So perhaps I'll adapt. :)ReplyDelete
The original tart tatin is APPLE!!! S this recipe is an adaptation!
I don't know you joined Grant, good for you! I loved being a member of their CSA! How do you like it?
I only did a fruit share this year. I'm not sure about the veggie share, there's a LOT of lettuce and I can only eat so many salads! ;) Overall I like it, though!ReplyDelete

Diego Maradona was a very talented and creative player during his career span (1976-97). He had 91 caps for his country Argentina scoring a total of 34goals. At the club level he played for Argentinos Juniors, Boca Juniors, Barcelona, Napoli, Sevilla, Newell's Old Boys.
Maradona played as an attacking midfielder and won 1 world cup, 1 UEFA cup, 1 Italian cup, 3 domestic titles (1 Argentina, 2 Italy). A goal which he scored against England with his hand is still remembered today as "Hand of God". Though his career came to an early end but his performance on the field of play will forever be remembered.
Pele's career span lasted for just 21 years like that of Maradona but from 1956-77. He had 92 caps for his country Brazil scoring a total of 77 goals. He played for Santos, New York Cosmos at the club level. During his playing days, he won 3world cups, 2 Copa Libertadores, 1 Recopa Intercontinental, 5 Brazilian Championships, 10 State Championships.
The jersey Pele wore at the 1970 world cup final was sold at auction in march 2002 for $220,850. He also served as Brazil's minister of sports from 1995-98.
Beckenbauer from West Germany had 103 caps for his country scoring a total of 14 goals. At the club level he played for Bayern Munich, New York Cosmos, Hamburg. His career span was from 1964-82 and he won 1 world cup, 1 European Championship, 3 European Cups, 1 Cup Winners Cup, 8 Domestic Titles (3USA, 5 Germany), 4 German Cups.
Zidane started his youth career with US Saint Henri in 1982 and in 1988 he started his senior career. He had 108 caps for his country France scoring a total of 31 goals. At the club level he played for US Saint – Henri, Septemes Les-Vallons, Cannes (youth career) and Cannes, Bordeaux, Juventus, Real Madrid (senior career).
He won the La Liga, UEFA Champions League, 2 Serie A, Intercontinental Cup, 2 UEFA Super Cup, Ballon d' or and also won the FIFA world player of the year three times.
Messi started his youth career with Newell's Old Boys and then moved to Barcelona's youth team. He started his senior career with Barcelona in2003 and since has been with the club. As at March 2012 Messi has appeared for his country Argentina 67 times and has scored a total of 22 goals.
Messi has won 5 La Liga, 3 Champions League, Ballon d' Or, FIFA world player of the year. Each season he keeps setting records and surpassing previously set records by him and other players. He is now the first player to score five goals in one match in a champions league.
Having achieved all these at this young age, one would want to believe that he would be greater than all the great players of the past.
Who do you think should have made the list or should not be in the list. Feel free to leave your comment.

External page source reader

Hi I'm enjoying the beta but would like to be able to open page source into an external editor (Notebook++). Is there any means of doing this yet? Thanks
Easy enough to do already.
1. Open source
2. Select all, copy
3. Open favourite source code editor
4. Paste
Words last edited by
That would create a separate file when what I want to do is edit the actual page source. I know there are plenty of workarounds but I have become very used to just clicking a button to open the page source to an external editor, edit, refresh page and done. If there was a setting that allowed me to change the page source reader that would be fine.

Recently I have been hard at work on my own personal "art" project. I always seem to have trouble using the word art as I find it pretty cliche. I have just been trying to create as much as I can.
As a result, as of today I have launched a new abstract gallery that represents some of the work I have been working on as of late. Please take a look and see for yourself.

A great many teenagers are overweight and in a bid to lose weight, leap rather too enthusiastically into some sort of low calorie or low fat diet and/or launch into a punishing exercise programme. Sadly, everything about this approach is unlikely to result in weight loss and more than likely to result in fatigue, mood swings, lack of focus and for girls, menstrual complications. During your teens, you are still growing and developing (both brain and body) and when there are pieces missing from the jigsaw, growth and development are compromised. If ever there was a time when you have to eat well and regularly it is now. You are likely fed up hearing that sugar is the enemy but there are countless ways you can satisfy your sweet tooth and lose weight without having to body swerve every sweet treat. The biggest favour you can do yourself and your waistline is to get sugary, fizzy drinks right out of your life (and that includes the diet and zero versions which are full of health-disrupting chemically-skewed sugar substitutes).
a few diet secrets
Don't Cut Calories. Resist the temptation to go on a very low calorie diet. Quick weight loss may result but it will be short lived as your body begins to feel cheated and hangs onto as much energy as it can by storing it in your fat cells which is exactly what you don't want! Give it everything it needs - fresh vegetables, fruit, whole grains, healthy fats and good levels of protein - and it will feel loved and cherished and keep the metabolic fire glowing and happily encourage stored fat to be burned for energy so fat cells shrink and stay shrunk.
Gain Some Muscle. A pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat (not rocket science!) but a pound of muscle takes up less space than a pound of fat so when you build muscle, which is also very good at munching its way through calories, you burn stored fat and look leaner. You also feel stronger and have more energy for sport and having fun. Muscles love a diet rich in protein and fat and not only does a healthy dose of vegetables in every meal and snack provide a wealth of protective plant chemicals to keep your immune system strong but the vitamins and minerals they provide spark up the action of enzymes that help to burn stored fat if you are carrying excess.
Feed Your Brain. The brain is 60 percent fat, mostly saturated fat but around one third is polyunsaturated fat and both types are crucial for the health and integrity of the nerve fibres that facilitate the transmission of messages between brain cells so a diet that skimps on fats robs the brain of the raw materials it needs to keep the communication lines open. Saturated fats from the meat and dairy produce of pasture-fed and happy animals and essential fats found in fish and fish oils, seeds and seed oils and eggs laid by birds fed on seed-rich diets enhance communication between nerve cells within the brain. And, healthy fats don't make you fat! It is the heat-treated and chemically-skewed fats and added sugars in many processed and fast foods and almost all junk foods that make you fat - and sick!

Nuts About Sports-Hockey from Bugaboo Stamps! I made this card for my Husband's Birthday.
I coloured the image with copics using the colours of his favorite team the Montreal Canadians. The card base is real red. I printed off a Hockey Pool page I found in google images and printed it off for the background paper.

At M's middle school, all sixth-graders are required to take "Cycle," which consists of woodshop, art, wellness & character education, computers, and pen-in-hand. M is currently in Wellness, and his homework yesterday was to compliment five people he didn't know, and write down all the insults he heard during the day. As soon as B heard this, she immediately started insulting him every time she had a chance. Helping him with his homework :-)

Ethical review and site assessment are two distinct processes relating to the ethical approval and institutional authorisation of research involving humans. They are both components of research governance. Research Governance is a framework through which institutions ensure that research conducted conforms to relevant institutional, jurisdictional and national standards and laws. Research governance addresses protection of research participants, the safety and quality of research, privacy and confidentiality, financial probity, legal and regulatory matters, risk management and monitoring arrangements and promotes good research culture and practice.
Site-Specific Assessment is a key element of research governance, and involves the review of HREC approval (either by St Vincent's HREC or another Certified Lead HREC), HREC approved documents, Site Specific Assessment (SSA) form, study budget, Clinical Trial Research Agreements (CTRA), insurance and indemnity arrangements. Research Projects undergo site specific assessment before authorisation can be granted by the Executive Director (or delegate) of the organisation.
Relevant policy documents and guidelines are also listed on the Resources for Researchers page of our website.
St Vincent's Hospital Research Office provides site/governance review for the following sites:
Submission for Site Specific Assessment (SSA and LNRSSA)
To submit to a study for site-specific review by the Research Governance Officer, follow the Checklist NSWSSA (updated August 2017). This Checklist highlights frequently occurring mistakes and may help to assist in the preparation of your submission.
When submitting your SSA, please ensure that the email content or cover letter lists every document being submitted and that the site Principal Investigator is copied on the correspondence.
Your submission must be prepared using Online Forms using always only the NSWSSA form regardless of study risk level which means for full1 and low risk2 governance submissions.
1 - formally known as SSA's
2 - formally known as LNRSSA's
Note: LNRSSA or SSA forms already in progress as of August 2017 will not be affected. Any forms remain saved in Online Forms and can still be completed, submitted and processed.
All applications to the Research Governance Officer must be submitted electronically, via email to firstname.lastname@example.com. In addition, one hard copy of documents with original signatures must be submitted to the Research Office.
Clinical Trial Research Agreements
Standard clinical trial research agreements have been developed by the NSW, QLD, VIC and SA Health Departments in conjunction with Medicines Australia. Templates are available on the Medicines Australia website.
Please note that St Vincent's Hospital Research Office is unable to accept contracts with special conditions listed in Schedule 4/7 unless evidence of NSW Health approval of the clauses is provided. This is a NSW Health requirement. Information relating to the process by which special conditions may be submitted for review to the relevant Health Department is also available on the Medicines Australia.
Honorary Appointments
All external researchers involved in the conduct of a research project at sites under St Vincent's Research Office governance are required to obtain an Honorary Appointment. This includes but is not limited to medical students, research fellows, university academics, and other external parties who do not hold an existing appointment at SVH. An external researcher may not commence research related activities at sites under the governance of St Vincent's Research Office until the Honorary Appointment has been granted. Please click on the link here (PDF 301.2KB) for additional important information on the Honorary Appointment process at St. Vincent's sites.

Smarter World is a corporate initiative of the information technology company COLTECOM. The initiative seeks to highlight how forward-
Examples of smarter systems include smart grids, water management systems, solutions to traffic congestion problems, greener buildings, and many others. These systems have historically been difficult to manage because of their size and complexity. But with new ways of monitoring, connecting, and analyzing the systems, business, civic and nongovernmental leaders are developing new ways to manage these systems. COLECOM
We are living in a time of turbulent change, putting pressure on businesses of all sizes and across all industries. The world is also changing, in other fundamental ways. It is becoming smaller, flatter and smarter.
As a result, leaders across all types of enterprises are faced with new challenges in order to remain successful. Those organizations who address these challenges are best positioned to outperform in the Decade of Smart.

I have recently come to know about Konad nail art. Konad is a hassle free stamping of intricate pattern on nails, comes in a kit form. I am loving this new, crazy and pretty interesting nail art . Guess what I found ? Well , quite a few Indian / Bollywood inspired nail patterns on this beautiful blog . Jocelyn has been konading for quite some time . Her designs are fabulous and very creative. How meticulously, she has replicated the Indian look and its intricate pattern , it's awesome and just perfect!!
This one is inspired by Rani Mukherji's saree in film Paheli
Mehndi inspired
I didn't know it is a huge craze and the more I learned about it , the more interested I got. I discovered another unique nail art by Kayleigh O'Connor from Birmingham UK . She is a talented artist who is creating stories on nails and presenting a new art form . She started nail painting on glue- on nails just to curb her habit of nail biting and finally ended up creating masterpiece. Her creativity is unique, unconventional and boasting quirky side of nail art . she is experimenting a lot with movies and fairy tales characters , themes and various patterns. Here are few of her nail art designs:
The Little Mermaid

I've been working in Newark since late 1989 and for the most part, I commute by car (I take a train or bus every now and then). Most every day I find myself driving across a variety of urban neighborhoods. The suburban streets where I start and end my voyage each day are fairly sedate. Once in a while there's a police car or some fire trucks to dodge, and the garbage trucks and school buses are always a nuisance. I've seen more than one idiot run a stop sign in front of me, in the nicest of towns; luckily I've always managed to stop in time. But on most days, the suburban portion of my drive is quite predictable.
But once I get into the Newark / East Orange zone, the situation gets a little more interesting. You have to be ready for things you wouldn't expect living in the 'burbs.
Over the years, I've seen cops on foot chasing a suspect running along the road; a guy arc-welding in the street (without shielding, threatening you with drive-by blindness if you look the wrong way); a pickup truck passenger throwing large stones at other cars (luckily he was a block or so in front of me); a pedestrian who walked into the side of my moving car (my luck held once again — I was going slow and he was stoned; I stopped to help him, but he got up and waved me away); various street fights; a train of 6 or 7 cop cars in a high-speed car chase along a narrow back-street (again, I must have a very good guardian angel; the whole procession crossed my route about 2 blocks ahead of me); and various stray dogs, screaming EMS trucks, oblivious pedestrians with negative attitudes about suburbanites using their streets, road-ragers taking umbrage if you respect yellow traffic lights, stop signs and the speed limit (really, the speed limit plus a third; anything less gets them honking, flashing lights and trying to pass and cut you off); and other interesting things.
My favorite road-rager of late is a cute, dark-skinned young woman with a huge SUV whose vanity plates read MS KIM; when I see Kimbo zooming up on my bumper near Roseville Avenue, I know its best to just pull over and let her go. Have a nice day, Ms. Kim.
Today, I had another new urban experience, right near the Newark-East Orange border on Springfield Avenue. I'm driving along, and suddenly I see birds in front of me. That's not unusual, but something was different, these weren't starlings and pigeons. My luck holds once again as no one is on my own tail (this would have been a bad time for an encounter with my sweet little Kim). So I approach these birds slowly, ready to stop . . . and low and behold, it's a brood of chickens! There's a black hen high-stepping along, with quite a group of little cluckers following her across the road. I slow way down as to let the last of the half-grown fryers and broilers of the future get to the proverbial "other side".
Why did these chickens cross the road? I'll leave that as an imponderable Zen koan for now. The Zen masters tell us to "be in the moment", and if all moments in Newark were like this, well, it wouldn't be so bad. I know that one day I'll miss it.
