At the Trilateral offices last week I picked up a package containing this mug. It's made by the New Zealand Privacy Commissioner to mark the recent international conference of data protection and privacy commissioners in Mauritius. One side features a diagram I put together for the PHAEDRA project showing the overlapping membership of various international networks of privacy commissioners.
I've never had my research on a mug before. I'm geekily pleased about this, but had I known, I might have changed the colours about a bit.
PHAEDRA, which was all about identifying examples if good and bad cooperation betweens DPAs and assisting with the former, has its final conference in Krakow on Friday, but the follow up project is due to kick off in January.

Santa Claus is a busy man on Christmas Eve, so sometimes he has to call on his helpers around the country to help him make those all-important deliveries. Who knew that LSU running back Derrius Guice was among Santa's helpers?
Young LSU fan Alexis Palermo wrote a letter to Santa asking for a signed football by LSU's leading rusher, saying it would be the best gift ever. Santa went one step farther and had Guice deliver the signed football in person, making for a wonderful Christmas memory for this young LSU football fan. He even hung out for a bit and posed for a few photos after making the delivery.
As Alexis wrote to Santa, Guice rules at football. As this moment shows, Guice rules at being an awesome human too.

How Much B12 Do Kids Need?
Vitamin B12 is important for your child's neurological function and the formation of his red blood cells. It is also water-soluble, which means that it is not stored in your child's body and instead needs to be replaced each day. In order to provide your child's body with a steady amount of vitamin B12, it is important to understand how much he needs according to his age and its best sources.
The Office of Dietary Supplements website states that from birth to 6 months of age, your child needs 0.4 micrograms of vitamin B12 each day 1. That amount increases slightly to 0.5 mcg from 7 to 12 months. From ages 1 to 3 years, your child needs 0.9 mcg; from 4 to 8 years, she needs 1.2 mcg; from 9 to 13 years, she needs 1.8 mcg. Finally, from 14 years of age until adulthood, your child needs 2.4 mcg of vitamin B12 daily.
Babies birth to 6 months of age get the vitamin B12 that they need from breast milk and formula. Vitamin B12 is bound to the protein in foods and is naturally found in animal products like red meat, eggs, poultry, fish and dairy. It is also found in fortified foods, like breakfast cereal, juice and bread. Multivitamins and dietary supplements are also sources of vitamin B12 1.
Since vitamin B12 is found primarily in animal products, it can be challenging for a child following a vegetarian or vegan diet to get the recommended daily amount. Signs of a vitamin B12 deficiency include:
- fatigue
- weakness
- constipation
- weight loss
- loss of appetite
- poor memory
According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, soy beverages and other soy products are sources of vitamin B12, and fortified juices and cereals can be good options as well. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, your doctor might recommend that you take a vitamin B12 supplement to help your baby reach the recommended amount. Severe cases of vitamin B12 deficiency might be treated with injections, according to the Office of Dietary Supplements website 1.
If you are concerned that your child is not getting enough vitamin B12, talk to his doctor. Keep in mind that consuming large amounts of folic acid can mask a vitamin B12 deficiency, while some stomach disorders like celiac disease and Crohn's disease can make it difficult for him to absorb it. When offering animal products as a means of meeting the recommended daily requirement for vitamin B12, be sure to provide lean meats to reduce your child's intake of saturated fat and cholesterol.

* All 3 major indexes reverse gains as Trump announces new tariffs
* 10-year Treasury yields dip to more than 2-1/2-year low
* GM, Kellogg, Verizon, Yum Brands post better-than-expected earnings
* U.S. manufacturing grows at slowest pace in nearly 3 years
* Indexes down: Dow 0.85%, S&P 500 0.78%, Nasdaq 0.76% (Updates to late afternoon, changes byline, adds NEW YORK dateline)
By Stephen Culp
NEW YORK, Aug 1 (Reuters) - Wall Street abruptly reversed its gains on Thursday as U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted that he would impose an additional 10% tariffs on $300 billion in Chinese imports, sending the long-running U.S. China trade war that has rattled markets for months back to center stage.
After spending most of the session on track for their best day since June, all three major U.S. stock indices took a sudden U-turn as investors quickly turned into sellers following the tweet.
Trump's remarks also sent U.S. Treasury yields lower, with the 10-year yield dropping to its lowest level since November 2016.
The CBOE Volatility Index, a gauge of investor anxiety, shot to its highest reading since June 5.
"It shows the market's sensitivity to trade," said Chuck Carlson, chief executive officer at Horizon Investment Services in Hammond, Indiana. "This is a continuation of the fraying that seems to be going on with the trade talks.
"Nobody knows what Trump's agenda is, what he would look at as a win," Carlson added. "Obviously he's seeing China's reluctance to do anything toward a resolution and he's throwing in a grenade."
Earlier in the session, Wall Street got a boost from positive earnings from a wide range of companies, including General Motors Co, Kellogg Co, Verizon Communications Inc and Yum Brands Inc, among others.
In economic news, the U.S. manufacturing sector expanded at its slowest pace in almost three years in July, according to the Institute for Supply Management's purchasing manager index (PMI).
"The manufacturing space in the U.S. is slowing," said Robert Pavlik, chief investment strategist, senior portfolio manager at SlateStone Wealth LLC in New York. "It's something to be mindful of.
"If you want to say the Fed had to cut rates, that's a good reading to point to," Pavlik added.
Investors now look to Friday's release of the Labor Department's closely watched jobs report, which is expected to show the U.S. economy added 164,000 jobs last month, with the unemployment rate seen holding steady at 3.7%.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 227.81 points, or 0.85%, to 26,636.46, the S&P 500 lost 23.38 points, or 0.78%, to 2,957 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 61.86 points, or 0.76%, to 8,113.56.
Of the 11 major sectors in the S&P 500, eight were trading lower, with financials and trade-sensitive industrials seeing the biggest losses.
Second-quarter earnings season continues at full throttle, with 355 of S&P 500 companies having reported. Of those, 74.4% have bested Street estimates, according to Refinitiv data.
Analysts now see S&P 500 earnings growth of 2.5%, up from just 0.3% a month ago, per Refinitiv.
Pick-ups and SUVs drove General Motors' second-quarter profit beat, but the automaker's stock turned negative after the Trump tweet and was last down 0.6%.
Verizon shares rose 0.6% after the largest U.S. mobile carrier surprised consensus estimates to the upside, reporting more net monthly phone subscribers than expected.
Kellogg surged 10.1% as higher North American demand helped the packaged food company beat second-quarter estimates.
Shares of Yum Brands Inc jumped 4.4% after beating analyst profit and sales expectations on better-than-expected growth at all its restaurant chains, which include Taco Bell and Pizza Hut.
Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 1.57-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.60-to-1 ratio favored decliners.
The S&P 500 posted 28 new 52-week highs and 10 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 73 new highs and 97 new lows. (Reporting by Stephen Culp; Editing by Dan Grebler)

How B.C. could hurt some first-time homebuyers by helping with down payments
Aspiring homebuyers in British Columbia may want to think twice before taking the province up on its offer to help cover the soaring costs of the down payment.
After making several attempts earlier this year to cut demand and thereby slow the meteoric pace of home price increases – particularly in Vancouver – by implementing a surplus land transfer tax on foreign buyers and those who allow homes to sit empty, B.C. is now moving in the opposite direction. The province announced a plan on Thursday to stimulate demand by matching the savings of first-time buyers up to $37,500 in the form of a loan that will require no payments of any kind for the first five years.
There is no shortage of caveats to ensure only certain prospective buyers can qualify – many are laid out in the first chart below – but the most important by far for applicants to consider is the loan is far from free money. It will in fact be registered as a second mortgage and if borrowers decide to take the government up on its offer to wait five years before beginning to repay it, they will find themselves facing interest rates on par with their full mortgage.
That means any B.C. household hoping to take advantage of the new loan program with a plan to pay it back in the first five years, before interest payments kick in, will need to set aside another $625 every month on top of the various other costs involved with owning a home. How that factors into the monthly carrying costs more specifically is detailed in the second chart below.
After a particularly interventionist year for various governments getting involved in the housing market – a rundown of the biggest moves is detailed in the final chart below – Canadians can expect to find out at some point in 2017 whether or not all this government policy will successfully walk the razor-thin line between allowing home prices to push ever-higher and avoiding an economically devastating price crash.

Do any of you ever find that it can be hard to concentrate?
I know that I do. There are times that I can get really focused on something and I just go. Everything around me seems to just fade into the background and all I hear, see, and think about is what I am working on. I can get so much accomplished during these times. The problem is that for every time I have extreme focus and production like this, I have 10 other times where I find that I have a hard time trying to concentrate on what I am doing. My focus is lacking. Everything around me seems to capture my attention except the thing I am trying to work on. During these times I seem to get very little done and the work I do mange to get done seems to be lacking.
In a world full of distractions, the person who can focus their attention is the one who stands out in the crowd.
So, how can we develop our ability to focus?
The answer is simple: A little at a time.
I have found that the best way to develop your ability to focus is to play the concentration game. The game is not complicated at all. You simply decide on a set amount of time to work on your primary task. During that time, you are only allowed to work on that task. At the end of that set time, you take a break and go do something else. You can come back to your primary task after your break and do another set time segment of primary work.
By giving your mind and body a rest from your primary task, you will keep your mind and body fresh and it will be able to work much better in short segments. You can accomplish more in three 30 minute segments of focused work than you can in 3 hours of unfocused work.
Let me give you some examples.
Let's say you have a room in your house that you need to clean. Set a timer for 15 minutes and get as much done in 15 minutes as you possibly can. At the end of those 15 minutes, simply stop and do something else. You will be amazed at what you can accomplish in only 15 minutes of focused attention.
Let's say you have a bunch of studying that you need to do. You can study in hourly segments by studying for 50 minutes and then taking a 10 minute break before returning to another 50 minutes of uninterrupted study. During that 10 minute break you can do whatever you want. You can check email, get a snack, or go take a short walk.
This was a method that I utilized while in vet school. The amount of material we covered and had to learn was enormous so by using this technique, I was able to accomplish more through doing less by using the concentration game.
If you can't do a full 50 minutes of uninterrupted study at a time, then start with shorter segments. As you exercise your ability to focus, it will grow and allow you to engage for longer periods of time.
The benefits of concentrated focus are great! You will accomplish more, learn more, and be better equipped to serve if you can pay attention when needed.
Try it out and see!

Cocooned in one's automobile cruising the streets, taking highways and byways to work may seem like the speedier way to commute. And in certain situations it probably is faster. But, is it truly the better or more effective way to commute?
I would argue that stop-and-go traffic, bumper-to-bumper chaos, and congested streets are hardly relaxing, productive, or even faster. In fact, in an urban setting with the proper infrastructure, bicycling to/from work can be quicker and it is definitely more relaxing. Studies have shown that the effective speed of crossing town travel by bicycle in dense urban settings can be considerably quicker than by automobile (City Cycling, edited by Pucher and Buehler, pages 58-74).
Furthermore, when commuting by car, especially alone, one cannot enjoy the fresh air or communicate with others, unless it is by offensive sign language when someone is peeved. One cannot really ponder the upcoming day's work schedule or tasks without becoming a distracted driver. Meanwhile, when pedaling to/from work many cyclists are granted Mother Nature's gifts of solace and reflective retreat from the rat race – an opportunity to cleanse their thoughts and charge/recharge their batteries for the day ahead. For me, the birds singing, chipmunks scampering across the bike trail, butterflies fluttering, or rabbits hopping into the brush, all bring whimsy and delight to the start and conclusion of my work day. For someone riding in a more urbanized setting, it could be the visual treats of fine art, classic architecture, and historic sites that make their ride more enjoyable than driving. Or it may be the vibrant sounds of the city itself that make one's day. In either case, I would argue bicycle commuting enhances your overall quality of life while commuting by car detracts from it.
Personally, I am a better person and a more productive employee due to being an avid bicycle commuter. Throw in the numerous benefits to one's physical and mental health, as well as to one's wallet, and bicycle commuting is easily the better option, except for those with excessively long (perhaps consider moving closer or telecommuting) or ridiculously short (you should be walking) commutes.

Rubber Seals
There are many different types of rubber seals available, suitable for a vast range of applications, but generally speaking the function of all rubber seals is the same. The seal works to protect the shaft and components and protects from liquids, gases, debris. The seal works to stop any contaminants from damaging the machinery. A common type of rubber seal is a V-ring. These are rubber seals that are suitable for use in applications that bear radial and axial loads. The seal is mounted onto the machinery shaft and will rotate with it. The lip seal is pressed against the housing or bearing and the body of the ring grips the shaft. This type of rubber seal can handle damaged shafts and misalignment, making them particularly versatile. Other types of rubber seals include oil seals and shaft seals. Rubber seals are used extensively in many industries, including agriculture and automotive.

Earlier this year, I read The Mistress of the Art of Death by Ariana Franklin for book club. It was such an engrossing mystery that I knew I would want to read the rest of the series. I finally had a chance this month to read the second book, The Serpent's Tale and it was almost as fun. I'm not usually a mystery reader, but these books I really like. The Serpent's Tale follows Vesuvia Adelia Rachel Ortese Aguilar, or Adelia as we know her, on another mission to discover a murderer. This time the murder victim is Fair Rosamund, the King's mistress. If Adelia fails to expose the true killer, the King will blame the Queen, whom he suspects of raising a rebellion against him, and a war will begin, endangering thousands of lives.
Making things more complicated for Adelia is that she is now a mother. Gyltha is still there to care for Adelia and her infant daughter, but Adelia wonders if these investigations are worth the risk to her child. One of my favorite lines, spoken by the child's father: "Any fool can have a son....It takes a man to conceive a daughter." In a world where women are blamed for all sin and evil, here is a man proud to have a daughter.
Another favorite quote: The Bishop of Saint Albans is helping Adelia with her investigation and I love when he says of a suspected pair of murderers, "...and my God have mercy on their souls, for we shall not."
This book is wonderfully written, but this reader got the impression that, while the first book was intended to hook the audience, this book has a slower arc to it. There are four books in the series and it is rumored that more were planned before the author's death in early 2011 at the age of 77. However, this book does contain historical facts bent to the will of a creative novelist, forbidden love, yearning for power, and all of the mystery a fan of the first tale has come to expect. I look forward to reading the other two novels and I'm sure I will love them as well.

Honeywell contracted small plane crashes near Dubai airport
DUBAI, UAE - Honeywell International has confirmed one of its personnel was on board the small plane which crashed five kilometres south of the Dubai International Airport on Thursday.
The crash, which halted the operations of one of the world's busiest airports for a time, resulted in all four on board being killed.
The plane, a 4-seat Diamond DA42 aircraft registered in the United Kingdom was contracted to Honeywell, whose aviation division was undertaking oversight of the calibration of navigation systems at the Dubai aiport. Thursday's crash interrupted Dubai International's activities for about 40 minutes as the airport's emergency services were diverted to the crash scene.
The UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has opened an investigation into the crash.
Three British and 1 South African nationals were on the twin-engine propeller aircraft when it came down about five kilometres south of the airport, the GCAA said.

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman Protest Coal Mining in New South Wales
New 'The Voice' mentor Keith Urban and his wife Nicole Kidman are rallying around a cause that has become a local movement in New South Wales, Australia. The couple recently posted a sign outside of their $6.5 million home in Southern Highlands showing their support for the grassroots anti-coal mining movement. Placed on the gates to their home, the sign reads "No Coal or Coal Seam Gas," according to the West Australian.
The couple are just two in a group of people protesting a plan that would expand coal and gas mining in the area. Though the battle has been going on for a couple years now, this is the first time Urban and Kidman have come out and made a statement about their thoughts on the matter. According to the Australian newspaper the Southern Telegraph, the convener of the Southern Highlands Coal Action Group Peter Martin said that the celebrity couple stopped and talked about their concerns at a protest stall at the Moss Vale Farmers Market last month.
"We sold them the sign for $20 when they visited the Moss Vale Farmers Market one Saturday morning on their last visit here," he told the newspaper. Urban and his family bought their NSW home in 2008, and it's just one of more than 460 properties that fall within the area of the proposed coal-seam gas and coal mining undertakings.
Though the state government of NSW has made an effort to restrict the mining and coal-seam gas drilling by imposing tighter restrictions on drilling near certain agricultural land, homeowners and landowners in the area don't feel those restrictions go far enough. We'll have to wait and see if the 'You Gonna Fly' singer and his wife become even more vocal members of the movement as it continues to grow.

Summary | Excerpt | Reviews | Beyond the Book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
Every airplane, no matter how far it is up there, I send love to it. I picture the people in their seats with their plastic cups of soda or orange juice or Scotch, and I love them. I really love them. I send a steady, visible stream of itlovefrom me to them. From my chest to their chests. From my brain to their brains. It's a game I play.
It's a good game because I can't lose.
I do it everywhere now. When I buy Rolaids at the drugstore, I love the lady who runs the place. I love the old man who's stocking shelves. I even love the cashier with the insanely large hands who treats me like shit every other day. I don't care if they don't love me back.
This isn't reciprocal.
It's an outpouring.
Because if I give it all away, then no one can control it.
Because if I give it all away, I'll be free.
Motion is impossible. That's what Zeno of Elea said. And though I've disagreed with the idea every day this week in humanities class, sometimes I think I know what he meant.
It's Wednesday, which is lit mag day. Justin and Kristina are ten minutes late. They are always ten minutes late. This doesn't bug me. I've learned to expect it. And if I run out of submissions, I can always work on layout or advertising or just sit here and read a book. Justin and Kristina have all kinds of stuff to do after school. I just have lit mag.
When the two of them finally arrive, they walk through the door holding hands and giggling. Justin has his SLR digital camera around his neck like always, and Kristina is in a pair of yoga pants and an oversize Yale sweatshirt. Her hair is pulled back into a ponytail.
"Sorry we're late," she says.
Justin apologizes, too. "I had to take some candid shots of the usual suspects: Football practice. Cheerleading. Hockey team running their laps. Yearbook crap."
"I went with him to help," Kristina says. "Could Aimee Hall be any more obvious?"
Justin laughs. "She actually posed for me hugging her tennis racquet."
"It was gross," Kristina says, adjusting her ponytail by grabbing two sides and yanking on them to center it on her perfect head.
When the townies talk about her, they say: You know that's her natural color?
They say: I bet her and that Justin Lampley will have some damn pretty kids.
They say: I can't figure out why she hangs out with that weird neighbor girl.
That's me.

Credible Commitment to Optimal Escape from a Liquidity Trap: The Role of the Balance Sheet of an Independent Central Bank
NBER Working Paper No. 10679
An independent central bank can manage its balance sheet and its capital so as to commit itself to a depreciation of its currency and an exchange-rate peg. This way, the central bank can implement the optimal escape from a liquidity trap, which involves a commitment to higher future inflation. This commitment mechanism works even though, realistically, the central bank cannot commit itself to a particular future money supply. It supports the feasibility of Svensson's Foolproof Way to escape from a liquidity trap.

Is Bush "Ripping the Heart" Out of People?
This week's release of the White House budget proposal is only the latest tired example of how the national media distort the federal spending picture. On Monday morning's Today, NBC reporter Norah O'Donnell warned, "The President is proposing today the tightest budget of his presidency and it's gonna slash spending across, across a wide swath of the government."
The actual "wide swath" picture shows only minuscule cuts. The official White House budget document summarizes its proposed cuts will save "about $20 billion in 2006," less than one percent of the $2.5 trillion proposal. Cato Institute budget analyst Chris Edwards claimed, "The Bush budget underscores how out of control federal spending is. The budget is being billed as the tightest yet, but overall spending is projected to rise 3.6 percent in 2006 even without further money for Iraq."
But TV coverage portrays this initial proposal - to which Congress will inevitably add more spending - as an impending war on the needy. Here's a few typical distortions quick and dirty budget reports make:
■ Cuts or consolidations of programs aren't "eliminations" of an entire area of spending. On NPR's Morning Edition Monday, co-anchor Renee Montagne suggested the White House "would eliminate or reduce spending on dozens of government programs, including education, farm subsidies, and health care for veterans and the poor." Couldn't the public get the impression that the White House favors elimination of spending on education, farmers, health care, and the poor? That would be a very inaccurate impression of spending trends under Bush.
■ Caps aren't cuts. On Monday's CBS Evening News, Dan Rather displayed his statistical confusion for everyone to see: "The President's budget would cut aid to farmers sharply. He'd lower the cap on their annual subsidies from $360,000 to $250,000 year. That's a cap." While a cap may be a cut to beneficiaries - in this case, very wealthy farmers - for taxpayers, it is not necessarily an actual cut in the budget. The same goes for NBC's O'Donnell, who included among the cuts tightening "eligibility of food stamps for the poor." That might affect beneficiaries, but it doesn't necessarily stop the overall food-stamp budget from increasing.
■ There's no numbers, just hyperbole. Lee Cowan's Monday night report on CBS was too typical: it included no actual budget numbers, and focused its attention on hyperventilating government beneficiaries. Five talking heads lamented the proposed cuts. No one argued they weren't cutting enough. Minneapolis Mayor R. T. Rybak complained, in a typical flourish, "This isn't strengthening America's communities. It's ripping the heart out of those who are the heart of this community." What are the proposed cuts in urban spending? CBS did not elaborate. Has the government budget in Minneapolis gone down recently? CBS didn't say.
■ Every human illustration of the budget seems to be a spending-cut victim, not tax-hike victims or debt-burden victims. Reports like Lee Cowan's not only excluded conservative budget experts or politicians. In their attempt to locate the "hardest hit" in the budget process, they never seem to highlight people who lose from an increase in government spending, taxes, or debt burdens. That's not "fair and balanced."
The networks are not a part of the solution to better budget information from Washington. They are part of the problem. Their hyperbolic coverage of tiny spending cuts as a human disaster in the making isn't objective political analysis. It's liberal political advertising.

Howard Stern was born on January 12, 1954 in Jackson Heights, Queens in New York City. His parents Ben and Ray Stern (née Schiffman) are children of Austro-Hungarian immigrants. Ellen, his elder sister of four years, is described by Stern as "completely opposite" though they maintain a good relationship. Though born into a Jewish American family (his Hebrew name is "Tzvi"), Stern claims on the radio that he is just "half-Jewish". Five months after Stern's birth, the family moved to the suburban area of Roosevelt on Long Island.As E Online reports, Howard does not like Jay Leno.
Don't mention Jay Leno to Howard Stern unless you have a paper bag handy.
"Just the mere mention of Jay Leno's name makes me want to vomit," the shock jock told Harry Smith on CBS' Early Show this morning. "I don't like this guy. I don't disguise it. Probably what irritates me the most is people in show business are afraid to say how much they dislike the guy, but I am not."
Clearly, the Sirus XM radio king remains on Team Coco, supporting Conan O'Brien even after NBC's dirty dealing was done.
"Jay completely sabotaged him," Stern ranted. "By going on at 10 o'clock, they gave Jay all the best guests, it took away all of Conan's excitement and thunder...Jay is a lap dog...Jay should have dusted himself off, gone to another network. He certainly had the offers."
In addition to accusing the large-chinned-one of "pushing Johnny Carson out of The Tonight Show...in a merciless way," Stern accused Leno of plagiarism, while applauding David Letterman.
"Jay is also a thief, and that's what gets me," Stern said. "That's what gets my goat the most. You know, I've always considered myself an original. I consider Dave an original, David Letterman. I think he's a pioneer. David Letterman once said in an interview—he started putting his mother on the air—and he said, you know, 'I got that from Howard Stern.' I admire that. Jay takes and lifts bits directly from my show, directly from Dave's show...They don't have an original thought on that show."

What has happened here is rather obvious. It's been slow, incremental, glacial. The public's habituated, humiliated and chastened. Slapped and cajoled, conned and convinced . . . told that news isn't to be true or real or even factual. Shite happens, Sparky. What are you getting upset over? What's the big deal? Perhaps it's a generational thing. We dinosaurs remember a time when the idea of a Cronkite getting shitfaced on New Year's Eve whilst simultaneously pierced made our souls quiver and quake. And throw in the horrid Washington Compost for good measure. No, this isn't an accident or happenstance. It's deliberate, targeted and by design. Enjoy.

LIONEL PODCAST: Scalia Is Royally, er, Supremely PO'd
Royally. And I refer to the term designating annoyance and perturbation versus inebriation as our UK friends might intone. Nino called the majority's reasoning "quite absurd." And he is such a marvelous style in exhibiting and explicating his disdain. As do I.
"The court's decision reflects the philosophy that judges should endure whatever interpretive distortions it takes in order to correct a supposed flaw in the statutory machinery," he wrote.
"It is up to Congress to design its laws with care," he added, "and it is up to the people to hold them to account if they fail to carry out that responsibility."
Justice Scalia announced his dissent from the bench, a sign of bitter disagreement. His summary was laced with notes of incredulity and sarcasm, which sometimes drawing amused murmurs in the courtroom as he described the "interpretive somersaults" he said the majority had performed to reach the decision.
LIONEL PODCAST: My Interview With Sharyl Attkisson, The Brave Investigative Reporter Who Believes in Exposing the Truth
Oh, that H.L., what a card. "American journalism (like the journalism of any other country) is predominantly paltry and worthless. Its pretensions are enormous, but its achievements are insignificant," thus spake Mr. Mencken. Well, Ol' Hank never met Sharyl Attkisson, Emmy award winning investigative journalist and author of the first order. She's taken on the Obama administration and the torpid and comatose corporate mainstream media, whose very existence depends on waking up and doing its job. Sharyl questions inter alia Benghazi, the (Not So) Affordable Health Care Act [Obama(s)care], Fast and Furious, Ebola, Vaccines and Gardasil, just to name a few.
Can we clone her? And what do these issues all have in common? They're issues that matter, that are fascinating and that have been for reasons heretofore unknown relegated by many to the ash heap of investigation known as the dread conspiracy theory. She reveals the spiders nest that comprises all to often the corridors of Washington journalism. And yet she certainly has nothing but respect and admiration for her colleagues who share her intrepidity and determination, but they're few and far between in a timorous world of feckless corporate lackeys and impuissant yes-men (and women) who've caved in, sold out and given up.
I do know much about history. (With apologias to Messrs. Adler, Alpert and Cooke.) Phil Graham in 1963, paraphrasing Alan Barth in 1943, noted the following: "So let us today drudge on about our inescapably impossible task of providing every week a first rough draft of history that will never really be completed about a world we can never really understand…" [e.s.] So, think of Ms. Attkisson as providing history's prolegomenon, it's proem. She's a critical component to documenting which all too often this society, who's the attention span of a gnat, lets lapse into the void while it embraces psychotically #DeflateGate and the latest false prophecy of cosmic snow doom.
Here's her testimony at the confirmation hearing for Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch:
SHARYL ATTKISSON: In 2013, Reporters Without Borders downgraded America's standing in the global free press rankings, rating the Obama administration as worse than Bush's. It matters not that when caught the government promises to dial back or that [FOX News'] James Rosen gets an apology. The message has already been received. If you cross this administration with perfectly accurate reporting they don't like, you will be attacked and punished. You and your sources may be subjected to the kind of surveillance devised for enemies of the state.
For much of history, the United States has held itself out as a model of freedom, democracy, and open accountable government. Freedoms of expression and association are of course protected by the constitution. Today those freedoms are under assault due to government policies of secrecy, leak prevention, and officials contact with the media, combined with large scale surveillance programs. The nominee if confirmed should chart a new path and reject the damaging policies and practices that have been used by others in the past. If we aren't grave enough to confront these concerns, it could do serious long-term damage to a supposedly free press. Thank you.
LIONEL PODCAST: The Elections Are Over. The Democrats Have No Message. The GOP Has Better Slogans.
Nothing to see here. Stop the caterwauling, the high fives, the sturm und drank, just stop. There's nothing to see here. It's as Professor Quiqley noted, they threw the bums out only to have the latest contingent of bums jettisoned later.
|"The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy" (Georgetown University Professor Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope, 1966.)
For Chrissakes, just get over it. Because neither party is able to answer my concerns and interests over a host of issues, viz. war, Wall Street predation, the derivatives bubble, 1033 hyper-militarization of police, the eroding Second Amendment, NSA and repressive surveillance, GMO proliferation . . . shall I go on?

In 55 of the last 59 runnings of the Kentucky Derby, the winner was either on the lead with an eighth of a mile to go in the race, within a length of the lead, or running second although more than a length off the leader. In all, 42 of the last 59 winners, or 71%, were on the lead at the eighth pole.
In 2013, Orb was second, 2 1/2 lengths off the lead at the eighth pole. In 2012, I'll Have Another was second, three lengths off the lead with a furlong left in the Derby. In 2011, Animal Kingdom didn't make this stat, but he was about as close as you can get -- third by by 1 1/2 length at the eighth pole. In 2010, Super Saver was two lengths the best at the final furlong marker. Mine That Bird was one length ahead at the eighth pole in 2009. Big Brown, the 2008 Derby winner, was 2 1/2 lengths ahead. In 2007, Street Sense was up by a length, and in 2006, Barbaro was four lengths in front at the eighth pole. The 2005 winner, Giacomo, was an exception to the rule. He was in sixth place at the eighth pole -- and almost three lengths off the lead held by Closing Argument at that moment.

Brisnet Figures
Brisnet uses pace numbers to evaluate horses' speed in the early and late stages of the game, called E1, E2 and LP.
E1 is the pace rating of the horse from the start to the first call, and E2 is the pace rating of the horse from the start to the second call.
LP is the pace rating of the horse from the second call to the finish of the race.
Beyer Figures, Speed and Track Variant
The Beyer Speed Figures, a well-known staple at Daily Racing Form, are complemented by the publication's pure speed rating and track variant figures, explained succinctly as follows.
The speed rating is a comparison of a horse's final time with the best time at the distance at that track in the last three years. The best time is given a rating of 100. One point is deducted for each fifth of a second by which a horse fails to equal that time.
To compute the track variant, the speed ratings of all winners in each type of race on a card are added together and an average is computed, which is deducted from 100. The lower the track variant, the faster the track, or the better the overall quality of competition that day, according to the Form. Conversely, a higher track variant almost always means a slow track.
Wet Track Figures
Wet track numbers rate a horse's off-track potential based on progeny of the sire and maternal grandsire. The higher the number, the better. A rating of 320+ means the horse merits further consideration as one that could run particularly well over a wet track.
The rating is to be used with horses trying mud or slop for the first, second or third time. Runners whose sire and/or dam sire have relatively small samples (fewer than 80 runners), are listed with an asterisk (*), and the rating is not necessarily reliable. These figures are published by Daily Racing Form as a "wet" rating.
The following runners have wet dirt track racing experience:
Commanding Curve debuted at Saratoga sprinting on a sloppy track and finished sixth, beaten 23 1/4 lengths by Grand Arrival.
Hoppertunity won the 1 1/16-mile Rebel Stakes on a wet-fast track.
Ride On Culin finished third, beaten a length in the Rebel Stakes, on a wet-fast track, and he won a sprint allowance at Oaklawn Park on a track rated good.
Samraat won the mile and 70 yard restricted Damon Runyon Stakes at Aqueduct by 16 3/4 lengths.
Tapiture finished secoind, beaten a half-length in the Rebel Stakes, on a wet-fast track.
Uncel Sigh debuted at Aqueduct sprinting on a muddy track and and finished second, beaten a head by Groupthink.
Vicar's in Trouble last year won a state-bred, maiden special weight sprint at Fair Grounds by 13 lengths on a track rated good.
Vinceremos debuted at Gulfstream Park sprinting on a sloppy track and finished second, beaten six lengths buy Three Quarter Roy.
Wicked Strong debuted sprinting on a sloppy track at Belmont Park and finished second, beatren 5 1/2 lengths by Manhattan Johnnie.

I was skimming through the various blogs I follow when I came across this:
Kol Ra'ash Gadol: Plastic water bottles
KRG seems decidedly unconvinced that limiting our use of plastic disposables is a worthwhile idea. While we can argue about the various environmental merits of the case (which I did, on his blog) what about the Jewish perspective? Rabbi Brant Rosen writes about Bal Tashcit on Radical Torah, indicating that efficiency and conservation are Jewish values, straight from the Torah. He brings the Rambam, who says:
Whoever breaks vessels, or tears garments, or destroys a building, or clogs a well, or does away with food in a destructive manner violates the negative mitzvah of Bal Tashchit (Hilkhot Melakhim 6:10)
Is there any reason that the words of the Rambam should not apply to disposable goods? I would argue that the standard plastic water bottle of our day is comparably durable to the vessels available at the time of the Rambam. The only thing that makes them 'disposable' is the marketing campaign. Anyone see The Gods Must Be Crazy? That glass Coca-Cola bottle had a hundred uses for a people who had no concept of 'disposable'. Is it in fact forbidden to throw away these and all the various other containers that make their way into our homes?
At my house, we do try to re-use these containers. We save jars and re-use them for storage containers, pickling vessels, and even drinking glasses. My favorite lowball glass is actually the glass cup that yahrtzeit candles come in. Our dish soap dispenser? A bottle of Poland Spring water with the sport top. What we don't re-use we try to recycle. But we are in the minority. Here then is another Jewish value, and another halachic injunction, that is ignored and even deprecated by the frum community. I'm not suggesting that disposable goods ahve no place in our society, but I'm troubled that we have embraced this part of secular culture with hardly a second look.
And since we're on the environment, October 15 is Blog Action Day! Got a blog? Why not spend the day uniting with bloggers around the world to talk about just one thing? This year, it's the environment. Show your support! And go out and tag all your bloggy friends and get them to jump in too. I'm tagging Jspot.org (I'm looking at you, Mik Moore!), Jeremy Rosen, and my various buddies, the mennu method, Meeg, and the newly-constituted Kol Hamevaser – lead the way!

This morning's wedding is full to bursting with cultural influences, colour and love. An English and Indian fusion affair with a Hindu ceremony, beautiful feminine floral arrangements and an abundance of carefully thought out and personal details.
Johanna wore not one but two stunning bespoke traditional Indian gowns and Vish was equally as fashion forward in his Tuxedo style Tom Ford suit. The venue really is something else – Sezincote House is an Indian house in the middle of the Cotswolds, absolutely breathtaking in terms of architecture and dramatic views.
All of the laughter was captured by Rock My Wedding sponsors Source Images.
Johanna The Bride: Our wedding was very unique, I'm originally from Ecuador and Vish was born and lives in London, but his family is from India, so when we started planning our wedding, we wanted it to represent us; both of our cultures, style and taste, we wanted to create something simple but elegant and very special.
We decided to have two weddings, one in the Cotswolds, UK with a Hindu ceremony and one in Guayaquil, Ecuador with a Catholic ceremony. (I'm sharing our Cotswolds wedding) …From the moment I moved to London (6 months before the wedding), we started the planning. Since I'm a graphic designer, I started designing all the wedding stationery; we loved incorporating lots of personal details. Probably the hardest part was to put all the ideas together… but we found an amazing florist/stylist, Willow Crossley, who helped us to express what we wanted to convey.
I have only the happiest memories about our wedding; I can say it was filled with love and joy from beginning to end, a truly magical, unforgettable day for our guests and us.
Brides Outfit
For my bridal dress I wore two traditional Indian dresses, for the ceremony I had a red "lehenga" with gold embroidery, and later I changed into a red "Anarkali suit". I had the help of my lovely Mother-in-Law; we went together to some Indian boutique shops here in London and found these beautiful dresses and jewellery on the first day! And for my make-up I was very lucky since my Sister (my Maid of Honour) is an amazing make-up artist, she did my Mums and my Bridesmaid make-up as well. It was very special having just family in the room while getting ready.
Grooms Attire
Vish went for a midnight blue Tom Ford tuxedo and the Ushers wore a tux with a mint bowtie and succulent corsages.
The Bridesmaids were my Sister and my Best Friend, since they both don't live in London, we picked a mint fabric (matching the Usher's bow-tie) and they had their own dresses made, then I brought some green fabric and a gold embroidery border from an Indian shop, put them together and gave them a bit of an Indian dress detail. Additionally they wore bindis, Indian jewellery stickers used on the forehead.
The Venue
We looked for venues for weeks, until we came upon this unique place. Our venue, Sezincote House, is a stunning Indian house in the middle of the Cotswolds, so after finding it by accident, we knew this was the place! The house has the most beautiful Orangery where we had our ceremony and afterwards our guests enjoyed its gardens. For the wedding breakfast and evening party we hired a marquee with a clear side looking out to the lighted house.
The Decor
Overall the surroundings of Sezincote House were our colour theme. From the breathtaking gardens to the beautiful house and its colours, we wanted the decor to be simple and tasteful, with lots of whites, greens, with a touch of blush and rustic finishes. Willow, our florist/stylist, did some gorgeous flower arrangements for the house entrance, ceremony and all over inside the marquee. We had some lovely low centerpieces with a mix of green hydrangeas, café-au-lait dahlias, roses, succulents, eucalyptus and greens.
We had lots of personal details; I had made custom chalkboard signs for our "Negroni bar", please sign, cake and coffee, photo booth and entrance sign. I designed the menu, matching the wedding invitations and had made a stamp of our last names "SP" monogram for the place cards. I also had bespoke matchboxes with our names and wedding dates for the sparkles we had later in the evening.
To give it a London touch, we had "Alfie" the black cab photo booth parked outside the marquee, which was a lot of fun! And we also hire a vintage double decker bus to transport our guests from the hotels to the venue. As per Ecuador details, where I'm from, half of our wedding cake was Victorian Sponge and half Double Fudge Chocolate cake made with Ecuadorean Chocolate!
For the table names, we picked not just places but also personal things that meant something to us. On each table we had a handwritten note by Vish placed on a cork with the meaning of each name (each cork were from bottles we had drank and collected throughout the years!).
For our place cards, with the help of my Mum and Sister, we stamped luggage labels with a gold "SP" monogram, attached a mint/white cotton twine and sent them to the calligrapher, Lucy Hall, to write all the guest names.
The Ceremony
The Orangery was already beautiful inside. Willow did some lovely flower arrangement in jam jars and hung them on each chair end. Both of our chairs were also decorated with flowers and we had the traditional four pillars made in birch with hydrangeas on each corner. I designed the ceremony leaflets matching all the wedding stationery and added the mint/white cotton twine just to give it a little detail.
The Entertainment
During the day, we had a string quartet playing at the ceremony entrance and afterwards while drinks and canapés were served.
In the evening, we had a great DJ and the amazing Jumping Band. They were the best; our dance floor was packed all night! Outside the marquee we had Alfie, the black cab, photo booth that was great fun.
Food & Drink
The food was amazing; Wesley House did a fantastic job! Our canapés included lamb koftas, pumpkin and pine nut risotto balls and mature Stilton and caramelized fig on walnut bread. For the wedding breakfast we had some vegetarian guests, so we had both options. To start, twice baked cheese soufflé with Parmesan cream and spiced Indian dahl cakes with avocado relish. To follow, Duo of Cotswold Lamb and a Thai vegetable curry. To finish, sticky toffee pudding, and vanilla ice cream for the boys and brioche bread pudding with apricots, prunes and Armagnac served with ice cream for the girls. For late in the evening we had pulled pork baps and falafel wraps.
The talented Jennie Brooks from Cutis & Co. Cakes made our cake. It was all white with green succulents and our "SP" monogram. Half was a Victoria Sponge cake (brushed with Madagascan vanilla sugar syrup and layered with champagne and strawberry ham and vanilla buttercream) and half double chocolate fudge cake (layered with a dark chocolate buttercream).
The Photographer
We immediately fell in love with Source Images work. We loved all the bright, spontaneous and beautiful photos. Jordan Banks photographs captured the exact feel of the day, all the memorable moments, our guests having lots of fun and us in our happiest day.

Borneo Post on June 28, 2012, Thursday
BAU: Some 400 families from Kampung Grogo and Sibuluh here can breathe a heavy sigh of relief now that their native customary rights (NCR) land has been gazetted as a native communal (agriculture) reserve.
Kpg Grogo village head Gani Jonek said it was good news for the villagers as it would erase all uncertainties on the status of their NCR land.
"We are very happy that our native customary rights (NCR) land has been surveyed en-bloc and now we can verify that it is our native communal land. When we applied for the perimeter survey in 2010, it was immediately approved and the surveying work commenced in March 2011.
"We really appreciate what has been done by the government. We are content now that we know our land is recognised as NCR land. There will not be any dispute anymore," he told reporters when met at the ceremony held at the District Office here.
On hand to receive the title was Kpg Sibuluh headman Jien Nyobek, who also shared Gani's views.
Special Functions Minister Tan Sri Datuk Amar Adenan Satem officiated at the ceremony, which was also attended by Land and Survey Department assistant director Abdullah Julaihi and Pemanca Daniel Teho.
The area affected under Kpg Grogo is 1,981.99 hectares, owned by about 200 families.
As for Kpg Sibuluh, the area affected is 987 hectares, belonging to 253 families.
Asked on what they would do next, Gani said they would call in Dayak Bidayuh National Association (DBNA) to carry out perimeter survey on the individual parcels of land before approaching Land and Survey for individual titles.
Meanwhile, Adenan, who is also Tanjung Datu assemblyman, was happy to note the enthusiastic response given by the people to the NCR perimeter survey initiative.
"Initially when we started the programme the response was very lukewarm but after a while when they saw us giving out the gazette notification they began to believe we are sincere," he said.

Matzke, E. B. (1936). The Effect of Street Lights in Delaying Leaf-Fall in Certain Trees. Amer. J. of Botany, 23(6), 446–452.
Abstract: Street lights in the City of New York cause a retention of the leaves of certain trees: Carolina poplar (Populus canadensis), London plane (Platanus acerifolia), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), and crack willow (Salix fragilis). Illuminated portions of a tree retain their leaves; shaded portions of the same tree do not. One side of a tree, or the lower part, may thus have numerous leaves, while the other side, and the upper part, may be entirely devoid of foliage. A relatively weak light, at a distance of as much as 45 feet from the tip of the nearest branch, may cause retention of numerous leaves. Light intensity as low as 1 foot candle, or less, may be effective. Some leaves may be retained at least a month, others more than that, beyond the normal season. The orientation of the light with respect to the tree â i.e., north, east, south, and west â is not significant. In Populus canadensis all of the leaves ultimately fall, abscission apparently taking place at the base of the petiole. In Platanus acerifolia and Platanus occidentalis some of the leaves are retained until killed by low temperature; then some of them break off above the base of the petiole. Leaves of the Populus and Platanus species discussed remain green unusually long when receiving additional illumination. Leaves of these same trees do not emerge from the buds earlier in the spring as a result of the additional illumination.
Keywords: Plants; trees; Carolina poplar; Populus canadensis; London plane; Platanus acerifolia; sycamore; Platanus occidentalis; crack willow; Salix fragilis; New York; New York City

Words of wonder, words of might,
I'll be always in your sight,
Stars are grey and sky is white,
Wake up to the morning light!
She was humming the rest of her mother's song because she couldn't remember the words. He on the other hand sat still on the rock and listened with his eyes closed. The repetition of words could not touch the heights of memories onto which he had descended. For both of them, the song held a special place. They could hear their mother sing it when she cooked the meals, strolled in the garden, laid down on her sick bed and even when she sewed dresses for their bears. So many fights had that song resolved in minutes, for none of them could afford to make a sound as their mother sang.
"What a failure of memory! How could we forget the song!?". She felt distraught after giving her hardest thought to the next stanza. No matter how much She tried, the words couldn't crawl from her memory and reach her tongue. It felt as if there was a surge of words for which She couldn't remember the sound; and when the sound came to be the words were lost in the air. Her frustration was unreachable – at least for the boy.
Unlike her, He sat with his eyes still closed and his body swaying to a mute music like the flames cheering the heart of fire. "What could He be thinking?" She asked herself. And when She couldn't find the answer by herself, She sought it from him instead.
"Which song are you swaying to? Do you recall the mother's song?"
The boy did not open his eyes, nor did He stop his swaying. From the complacent smile which He held on his face, He merely said, "I don't remember it, of course! But I don't need to either".
She moved closer to the "swaying-pendulum-of-a-boy" and tapped his shoulder three times. But it wasn't to stop the boy and return him from his musings. So, She stood by his side and started to enumerate all the ways that could interrupt his sway. After a successive line of petty ideas, She settled on the one which held the most promise and least activity – a splash of water! So, She collected the biggest coconut shell the island could hold and filled it with a taste of the salty waves.
With the notorious bowl of her plan between her fingers She told herself, "If I don't count the 5 times that I fell over my back in the water, I think this has been by far the best plan!".
She tip-toed her way near the oscillating boy and smirked to think about his face drenched in the cold, salty water. She stood behind him and raised the coconut bowl right above his head. As She waited for him to come under its target, the boy suddenly stopped and opened his eyes to look around.
Finding her behind him, He turned his head and asked "What are you doing?"
"Nothing! I was just standing and looking at the ocean" She said as She tactfully put the coconut shell by her foot. Her conscious smile made him suspicious, yet He chose to let it be for another time and pulled her by the hand to sit on the rock. She hesitatingly sat down beside him, looking at him eagerly.
"Do you want to hear mother's song?" He didn't wait for her nod and said, "I'll show you how you can hear it in your memory. Just follow my steps".
This time He waited for her nod and She smiled to show her approval.
"Great! Do you remember listening to mother's song at her birthday? Do you recall how we sat together on the sofa as she sang to the party? I need you to close your eyes and imagine us sitting right there. It wouldn't be difficult since both of us hold that memory the dearest! Just try! Close you eyes and hold your knees like I do and then just recall!"
She scoffed his idea in her head yet played along thinking lest her laughing might hurt him. So, She sat eyes closed on the rock and looked into the darkness ahead of her eyes. To her surprise, soon the memory of the mind trickled its way onto the darkness ahead of her. A bright light first, then a hazy figure of a woman – her mother as she recalled, standing in her white party dress. She could not see the other figures but her mother stood in the front – strong and beautifully! As She looked on, She heard the whispers in her memory turn into silence. And from the silence arose a feeble resonance. Coming from far deeper in the darkness and echoing in her mind. HER MOTHER'S SONG! She pushed her way through the binds of eyes and shushed her confused mind's noise.
The more She left her self, the more she caught the resonance! As her mind lost its shackles, her mother's voice started to ring like music in her ears. What a splendid song it was! A music that came from her heart to her soul and a song that rang with the chords of memory!
With a sudden flush, the darkness was washed away from its portrait. As She opened her wet eyes and put away her hair, She saw the boy laughing wildly over the sand. It seemed that He had found the water filled coconut shell.
"You can't out smart me! I don't see why you even try M." He said as He wiped his tears of joy.
But She remained still on the rock. Her agitated face opened her thoughts – "Was it a dream? Had I fallen asleep?….I cant feel my hands and legs. Did I hear mother's song?".
She could barely comprehend him as He collected the shells around her feet and said, "What are you thinking? You look so pale as if you saw mother. Oh well! Good for you I've run out of water. So, don't mess with me again!"
Words of wonder, words of might,
I'll be always in your sight,
Stars are grey and sky is white,
Wake up to the morning light!
He trotted off in happiness singing their mother's song. Though, She sat firm and wet on the rock, only to close her eyes and anxiously look for her mother in the emptiness of the mind.
