Salk Institute for Biological Studies: InsideSalk

Salk's History: A Story Rich in Creativity and Scientific Discoveries

William Brody

I believe you will enjoy reading about the Salk Institute's rich history of the last half-century in this anniversary-year issue of Inside Salk. It is a splendid success story that began with a daring idea by our founder, Jonas Salk, and became a reality that today yields vital scientific discoveries for the benefit of mankind.

Much like the Institute's laboratory spaces, which were designed with flexibility in mind by famed American architect Louis Kahn, research at the Salk has undergone organic evolution and expansion as research interests shifted and new technology appeared. At its core, the Salk science story has always been and continues to be about creativity and unwavering curiosity.

This is what drew a small group of brilliant scientists to the West Coast in the early 1960s to join Jonas Salk as founding fellows in what he described as a "crucible of creativity." Over the next 50 years, Jonas' concept was put into remarkable practice.

Today, a highly collaborative environment in which scientists are free to pursue their boundless questions is what defines the Salk Institute and has established it as a much sought-after place to conduct leading basic biological research.

The Institute's intellectually hospitable atmosphere has prompted many of the best minds in science to make the Salk their permanent home. Many of the young scientists who were appointed to the Salk's faculty in the 1970s are still here, still contributing seminal discoveries that are improving our understanding of human health and disease.

Many of the early discoveries you'll read about in the cover story have led to treatments for cancer, depression, heart disease and reproductive disorders. The impact of some of these landmark findings has also been recognized by the greater scientific community - leading in some cases to Nobel Prizes and many other top honors.

Throughout its history, the Salk is also credited with preparing the next generation of exceptional scientists who will contribute tomorrow's discoveries.

The Salk Institute has grown and firmly cemented its superb reputation since four scientists (Renato Dulbecco, Edwin Lennox, Melvin Cohn and Jacob Bronowski) chose to follow Jonas Salk to La Jolla and establish what many today call a "temple of science" in one of the most idyllic locations in the world.

In the next Inside Salk and my next column, I will highlight our most laudable scientific accomplishments, and then close our anniversary year with a look at the very promising future of Salk science. For now, I invite you to learn more about our storied history in the following pages.

Etheridge separates from actress partner

Rocker Melissa Etheridge and her partner, actress Tammy Lynn Michaels Etheridge, have separated.

In a statement Thursday, they asked for “consideration and respect for our family as we go through this difficult period.”

The two held a commitment ceremony in Malibu in 2003. Tammy Etheridge, 35, gave birth to twins — a son, Miller, and a daughter, Johnnie Rose — in 2006. The couple used an anonymous donor from a sperm bank.

The 48-year-old singer shares custody of daughter Bailey Jean and son Beckett with former partner Julie Cypher. Musician David Crosby was the sperm donor for the children, who were delivered by Cypher.

• CNN host Larry King does not have a prenuptial agreement with estranged wife Shawn Southwick, TMZ reports. King, who was married seven times before, did not demand a prenup. As one source says, “She is a tall, good-looking blonde, and that pretty much explains it.” King’s net worth is estimated at $144 million.

• Add this to the slate of celebrity splits: Paris Hilton and boyfriend Doug Reinhardt broke up “weeks ago,” her representative confirmed Thursday. The hotel heiress and Reinhardt had dated for 14 months.

• Former Escondido resident Jaimee Grubbs, 24, one of the many women linked to Tiger Woods, was arrested in West Hollywood for driving with a suspended license, according to TMZ says there are three outstanding warrants against her.

Heidi Montag is planning to sue Adam DiVello, creator of “The Hills,” over an incident in which he allegedly touched her inappropriately during a cast photo shoot in March, according to Life & Style.

Tag Archives: St Lukes Chapel Wedding

Well well well. What on earth do I say about these two?! I’ve been looking forward to making this blog post because this couple was definitely one of my favorites from this past summer (I’m allowed to have favorites, right?!). The day started out with one of my favorite makeup artists (Dannon Collard, check her out) doing Maggie’s makeup, so I just KNEW it was going to be a fabulous day. Maggie opted out of getting ready amongst her bridesmaids, and chose to be surrounded by just her mom, dad, and brother. It was SUCH a sweet time for all of them, and it definitely made the day less stressful for her.

I hadn’t met Kyle prior to the wedding day, but I just knew that Maggie would be marrying a gem of a guy. I met Kyle, and boy was I right?! He was so excited to marry his bride and it seriously warmed my heart to see him that way. The best part about the guys was definitely Kyle’s dad, the best man. He kept asking me, “Are we going to be taking pictures in a straight line?” I kept reassuring him that at some point I would line them up. Little did I know what he had up his sleeve, literally. Finally, the moment came where the groomsmen were in a straight line, and the dad proceeds to pull a roll of papers out of his sleeve, and hands out every letter of “BADASSES” to the groomsmen. Well played, dad. Well played.

The rest of the evening didn’t disappoint. From hand-rolled cigars and toasts by both dads, to a guest rapping every word of a song that I can’t remember right now and the dad stealing the show during the song “shout”, this evening was quite the source of entertainment. Cheers to you, Maggie and Kyle!

Production information
Manufacturer Lockheed-CBM Corporation
Production Year 3066[1]
Model EST-O
Class Heavy
Tech Base Inner Sphere
Technical specifications
Mass 95
Structural Integrity
Frame Bowie E2
Power Plant GM 380 XL

Primary Configuration

Communications System Rander 250
Tracking & Targeting System Rander T47
Heat Sinks 11 Double Heat Sinks
BV (1.0) 2,475[2]
BV (2.0) 2,776[4]

The result of a long-term effort by the LAAF to produce an Alliance OmniFighter, the massive Eisensturm (German for "Iron Storm") is equally at home in space or atmosphere, intended to take the place of the aging Chippewa.[2]

Work began in 3060, and while the final Omni-pod design was not yet ready until late 3066, a fixed-configuration R3 variant based on the primarily configuration saw heavy action and considerable acclaim for its effectiveness against Clan Jade Falcon and the Draconis Combine in the midst of the FedCom Civil War. Though officially an LAAF project, Lockheed/CBM shouldered much of the development costs in the hopes of recouping the expenditure through lucrative contracts with the Lyran military as well as offering the Eisensturm for sale on the open market.[2]

The use of an GM 380 XL Engine and nineteen and a half tons of Donegal Omni-Sheath Ferro-Aluminum give the Eisensturm incredible protection, speed and maneuverability for its weight while freeing up 46 tons of pod space for a devastating volume of weaponry, though like many OmniFighters this pod space comes at the cost of the design’s heat-dissipation capabilities, carrying only eleven Double Heat Sinks on its base chassis.[2]

Weapons and Equipment[edit]

The primary Eisensturm configuration is built around twin Gauss Rifles and paired Medium Lasers in the nose, supported by a single Large Laser fitted to each wing. Four tons of gauss reloads allow them to be the primary weapons fired to keep all the laser generated heat under control.[2]

Alternate Configurations[edit]

  • Alt. Config. A
    The A configuration's Heavy Gauss Rifle makes this variant decidedly nose heavy, supported by twin ER Large Lasers carried in each wing. Three tons of Gauss ammo allow the fighter reasonable linger time, while five additional double heat sinks strain to keep its heat in check. BV (1.0) = 2,257[2] (2,209)[5] BV (2.0) = 2,637[6]
  • Alt. Config. B
    A fire-support missile boat, the B config carries an two Artemis IV FCS equipped LRM-15s in each wing, supported by two nose mounted ER Large Lasers. Four tons of missile reloads keep this variant in the field and firing. BV (1.0) = 1,952[2][7] BV (2.0) = 2,517[8]
  • Alt. Config. C
    The C configuration features a mixture of autocannons and missiles, mounting an LRM-20 and Ultra AC/5 in the nose, supported by twin SRM-6s in each wing. While Artemis IV systems boost the performance, the complete ammo dependence and lack of any energy weapon on this variant forces the fighter to withdraw once its two tons of autocannon rounds and four tons each of long and short range missiles are expended. BV (1.0) = 1,845[2][9] BV (2.0) = 2,209[10]
  • Alt. Config. D
    The D configuration carries three Plasma Rifles in the nose and an MML-7 in each wing. The after aspect of the Eisensturm is protected by an ER Medium Laser. A Targeting Computer improves the accuracy of all weapons. Fifteen double heat sinks take care of the heat. BV (2.0) = 2,712[11]

  • EST-R3
    This pre-production variant of the Eisenstrum was used to test the weapons configuration of the fighter before it was converted into an Omni unit. It carries the same weapons as the Primary configuration of the OmniFighter, and has the same amount of armor protection. BV (2.0) = 2,776[12]

  • The fixed pre-Omni EST-R3 version mentioned in the TRO:3067 write up served as the example design of the Construction section of AeroTech 2, where it was specifically a non-OmniFighter design.[2]

Emile Liao

(Redirected from Emile Faulkner Liao)
Emile Falkner Liao
Born: 2278
Died: 2356
Affiliation House Liao
Duke of Liao
Children Franco Liao, Kurnath Liao

Emile Liao (full name Emile Falkner Liao, b. 2278 [1] - d. 2356[2]) was the third president of the Independent Republic of Liao who stopped the Capellan-Supremacy War. He was also creator of the Duchy of Liao and its first Duke.

Most of Emile's life is unknown as the official records start in 2308 when he led a rag-tag fleet of merchant vessels against an FWL fleet led by Admiral Ishidai and managed to inflict heavy losses on them without losing much himself, starting the blockade of Liao which lasted until April of 2309. He did this to defend Arboris which gained protectorate status by the Liao Republic.

In the years that followed the lifting of the blockade, Emile Liao raised both his planet's and his own influence primarily through the accumulation of additional merchant shipping. At the time of his death, the merchant marine was above a thousand vessels in strength.

In addition to building a shipping empire, Emile also collected several new worlds for the Republic of Liao and transformed it into a fully fledged Duchy of Liao in 2315 and appointing himself Duke.

Emile Liao had a single son by the name of Franco Liao, who succeeded him as a duke and later formed the Capellan Confederation.

SYDNEY (Reuters) - The security consultant at the centre of the All Blacks bugging case pleaded not guilty to a charge of public mischief at a local court in Sydney on Tuesday.
21 Mar - 1:36 PM

The accusation that a listening device had been placed in the New Zealand team room at their Sydney hotel ahead of their Rugby Championship test against Australia last August caused acrimony between the two rugby unions.

Adrian Gard, who has worked on security with the New Zealand team for a decade and has also protected former U.S. President Bill Clinton and other celebrities, was arrested and charged by police in February.

On Tuesday, he appeared at Waverley Court near Bondi beach and registered a 'not guilty' plea. The case was adjourned until May 2, local media reported.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, police will allege Gard made a false statement to police that he had found a listening device in a chair in the team room, sparking an unnecessary investigation.

The 51-year-old Australian's lawyer told reporters he had requested a two-day hearing when All Blacks coach Steve Hansen and his management team were available.

Hansen last month described the charge as "bizarre and unbelievable" and said he could not conceive of any motive for Gard to do what the police allege.

Despite New Zealand Rugby being aware of the alleged discovery of a device earlier that week, it was not reported to the police until the morning of the match, when it was also splashed across the New Zealand media.

Wallabies coach Michael Cheika and Australian Rugby Union chief Bill Pulver later suggested the timing of the police report was aimed at causing maximum distraction to their team.

New Zealand thrashed Australia 42-8 in the match at Sydney's Olympic Stadium.

Dear Friend,

I will like to invest in your country. I am Samuel Dlovu from Liberia, the son of Michael Dlovu,
former Minister of Mines and Industry. Our parents were killed in the Liberia war. Our Father
deposited trunk box containing 33.6 Million U.S Dollars with Security and Finance Company in Ghana,
for safe keeping and before his death he instructed that I should claim it to look after my only
sister and my self.

My sister and I are now in Accra Ghana-West Africa, to notify claims of the fund. We intend to
invest this money abroad, hence my contacting you to advise us how best we can invest this money in
your country. One Mr. Bill Lloyd, who was supposed to receive this consignment box in USA, was
demanding for 50% which I and my sister did not agree on for any reason, which was why we have to
stop the delivery to him immediately, and search for another beneficiary who can help us on this.
For your assistance we offer 20% of the money to you. We have all the vital documents covering the
deposit fund and the ownership which I can send on request.

Please send your direct phone and fax numbers for more information on your reply.

Thank you very much for the anticipated acceptance while I expect your prompt response.

Administrator Magazine
Scholastic Administrator is a must-read resource for 240,000 of today's results-driven school leaders. Every issue features leadership for education executives, insight and analysis into what's next in education, and reporting on cutting-edge technologies in real life applications.

Last Week's Technology

How to balance trends, finances, and teacher and student demands to create a tech plan you can follow.

Pity the poor K-12 technology director. His or her biggest job-setting a long-term district plan for technology purchases-has suddenly gotten much harder. While projecting the future has always been difficult, consider the recent factors that are making this task much more like walking a tightrope. Technology upgrades not only seem to come faster, but the lag between new devices and school implementation is much shorter. iPads and bring-your-own-device policies are spreading rapidly through districts. And teachers and administrators are demanding a voice in technology decisions, with students not far behind. Throw in the uncertainty of state and local funding and it's clear what a balancing act it is.New devices, additional user demands, and funding uncertainty make you wonder whether it even makes sense to try to create a long-term tech plan anymore. Can tech departments still guide the adoption process, and do five-year plans still serve a useful purpose?

Yes, to both questions, tech directors say. Vision, purpose, and a road map are, in fact, needed more than ever.

In Maine, for example, a commitment to equity is the underpinning of its statewide one-to-one laptop program for all middle school and high school students, according to Jeff Mao, the state's learning technology policy director. Maine's four-year, $240-per-year MacBook leases cost half as much as a $40 monthly cell-phone plan and offer much more computing power than a smartphone or an iPad, he says. And many students can't afford a cell-phone data plan, he adds.

"For us, the priority is student-centered education with a personal device at the point of learning," Mao says. "The overwhelming majority of teachers say the laptops are helping kids and encouraging them to become invested in their own learning."

A four-year technology plan works well for Maine because teachers can't adapt to new devices every year, Mao says. In reality, it takes time to learn a new device and incorporate it efficiently into teaching practices, he explains.

"You need to have direction, and you can't do it without a plan," concurs Rich Kaestner, project director with the Consortium of School Networking. "The five-year IT plan should dovetail with what the schools are trying to accomplish."

Seek Opinions for the Best Plan

The key to a workable plan is flexibility, particularly in the last year of a long-term plan and especially when buying devices (as opposed to infrastructure upgrades, which are less subject to change). Mao says the best technology plans occur when IT staffs let teachers, administrators, and students decide what they need to reach their learning goals, and then propose options they might not have considered, while helping them find the money. "IT staffs can only write plans on what they know, technologically, today," Mao says. "But if they know the new educational standards, they can encourage teachers to dig into the educational challenges and get more creative in their solutions."

Jerry Crisci, director of technology with the affluent Scarsdale Public Schools in New York, says it's also critical to align technology plans with the goals of the district. And that's easier for Crisci to achieve because he is a member of the district's executive team.

"The cabinet seat is important because the technology director is a partner in decision making and the strategic plan," Crisci says. "The tech director needs to hear what people are saying and help drive the technology conversation."

But even the best tech plans can be torpedoed by events outside their control. Crisci, for example, says the recently enacted two percent state property tax cap is a "game changer" in New York and could cause voters to question the timing of a pilot one-to-one laptop initiative planned for the middle school this fall.

Another potential bombshell is Verizon's recent termination of flat-rate data plans and whether that will adversely affect student use of mobile devices for school research and collaboration.

Is BYOD a Game Changer?

Despite the prevalence of cell phones and iPads, most districts don't yet officially authorize the use of personal devices in school for a number of reasons, including the difficulty of managing and supporting them, concerns about opening up access to the school network, and worries about liability.

"Instead of being strategic about personal mobile devices and managing them, we just don't allow them," says a disgruntled urban school tech director, who disagrees with the decision and chose to remain anonymous.

Scarsdale, in contrast, takes a middle road, permitting high school students to bring in mobile devices and log on as "guests," which gives them access to the Internet but not to the school network, Crisci says. The Round Rock (Texas) Independent School District has a similar "guest" access policy, according to Ed Zaiontz, the executive director of information services.

White Oak Independent School District, also in Texas, will begin allowing students to bring mobile devices to school this fall at the discretion of the teacher, according to Michael Gras, chief of technology. One fifth-grade teacher who allowed personal devices the previous two years in violation of school policy warned students that the privilege would be halted if there was a single problem. There never was.

"Who am I as tech director to deprive a student of connectivity?" Gras asks. "My job is to foster interaction."

Horizon Report's Predictions

In fact, the 2011 horizon report by the New Media Consortium and the Educause Learning Initiative identified mobile computing, especially smartphones and tablets, as a near-term emerging technology in the next 12 months. Ditto for cloud computing.

During the next two or three years, game-based learning and free online open content will become more commonplace, the report predicts. Learning analytics and personal learning environments are three to five years away, the report notes.

Beyond the mobile devices, school technology departments planning for the future face potential changes with budget implications in almost every aspect of their operation, including networking, desktops and servers, and the fledgling trend toward digital texts and free, open digital content (potentially affecting IT, since at some schools text and technology budgets are combined). Collectively, these tech options will affect not just the cost and efficiency of IT operations but the resources available to students and the ability of teachers to belong to professional networks.

For example, the advent of Google Apps, which offers students anytime access, collaboration, and permanent storage for their work, is a "really big deal," says Crisci, who is also a Google-certified teacher. The recently launched Microsoft Live has a similar approach.

But if most of the computing is in the cloud, do you need classrooms of fully functioning desktops? White Oak's Gras doesn't think so.

"I don't think I need computers anymore if a kid can do research with the device in his pocket," says the district's chief of technology. "Certainly, we need a lot less."

The cloud also raises questions about the need for servers, which require lots of staff hand-holding and guzzle gobs of energy. The annual operating cost of a server is about 25 percent of the purchase price-every year. And energy is among the top budget items for most districts.

"It's crazy to build up [server] infrastructure in-house," says the disgruntled urban IT director. "The cloud happens so much faster, and the district would get more storage space."

White Oak ISD has made the switch. With all but two of its 17 servers in the closet, the district is running everything in the cloud, including student information systems. Only its DNS and DHCP servers are in daily operation.

Thanks to the cloud and lots of open-source applications, White Oak is saving time and money, annually returning up to 20 percent of its budget to the district, Gras says. Software and Web hosting cost just upward of $10,000 a year, he adds. "We have so much going on for so little cost, it's unbelievable."

Round Rock Pioneers Networking

Then there's the network. Round Rock, Texas, is way ahead of the curve, equipping all new high schools with IP-TV, broadcasting 28 TV channels over its data network without coaxial cables, TV monitors, or costly LCD screens, according to tech director Zaiontz.

All a teacher needs is a computer, an AMX touch-control panel, a ceiling-mounted projector, and a conventional AV screen to watch live events, school presentations, or programming saved on the server, Zaiontz explains. The system, which can be remotely managed via AMX Schoolview software, has one drawback: It's too expensive to retrofit in existing schools that already have cable.

As for network challenges, some districts have opted to keep tight, across-the-board access controls for teachers and students with blanket filters that prevent teachers from downloading class materials from the Internet. Some IT departments want to lock out bandwidth-hogging video and audio files, forcing teachers to wait several weeks for authorization and, in the process, missing the teachable moment, according to the urban IT director.

There are also districts that deny teachers storage on the network or access to cloud storage. The restrictions can create a digital divide, keeping teachers from forming professional learning networks and sometimes even depriving them of what they need to do their jobs.

The irony is the school network no longer has an iron lock on what teachers can access or store because applications like and vendors like Sprint offer individual wireless access plans, he says. "The schools have lost that battle [for control]," Zaiontz declares.

As for open education resources, Maine and Maryland are pioneering work to promote the use of free, digital materials. Maine put a top math teacher on sabbatical for a year so that he could create digital materials to be assembled into a book; the state will fund professional development for the use of these materials in the coming year, says Mao, Maine's tech policy director.

"Broadband and mobile devices are converging, leading to the creation of more digital content," he adds. "Maine is trying to promote the transition from print to digital media. And we're going to get there first."

Maryland is just starting to create a national repository of open digital resources, focusing first on ways to embed research skills across the curriculum, according to Jayne Moore, state director of instructional technology and school library media.

And in Texas, White Oak ISD also hopes to maximize free open content with customizable, interactive texts from The CK-12 materials would save the district textbook money, but first White Oak needs funding from the combined text and technology budget for new equipment, says to White Oak technology specialist Scott Floyd."CK-12 is the future," Floyd says. "They are the leaders and will have many statewide initiatives in the next few years."

Negroponte on Future Schools: Laptops Make Children Thirst for Learning
Predictions. Negroponte sees more ebooks and cyber classes in the future

To create a five-year technology plan today, a CTO needs to imagine what the classrooms of 2016 will look like. How will they be different?

MIT professor Nicholas Negroponte, cofounder of MIT's Media Lab and chairman and founder of One Laptop per Child, predicts the future classroom itself will not matter much, at least in the traditional sense of a teacher at the head of the room.

"More and more classrooms will evolve into labs; homerooms may be situated more in cyberspace than real space," he believes. "Books certainly will not exist as paper artifacts; libraries will exist only as repositories for books that have not been digitized."

The key difference is that children will be different five years from now, he says. First graders will start school with three years of iPhone experience and probably one or two years with the iPad. And they will never have experienced boredom, Negroponte predicts.

"That's what CIOs (if there are any) should grasp," he warns.

Teaching "is important but overrated," he says (although many would disagree). "We all learned in the first five years of our lives by interacting with our environments, outside the confines of teaching. Suddenly at age six, we are told to stop learning that way and to learn more by being told."

The best way currently available to help children learn and become passionate about learning is to give them access to laptops 24/7, he says. Schools in countries whose students were given laptops under Negroponte's program found truancy dropped from 30 percent to nearly zero, discipline problems vanished, and parental involvement soared, he says.

"Laptops restore the student-centered learning model and turn the student into a teacher," he says. "The best way to learn something is to teach it."

Even with more laptops, the U.S. system remains deeply flawed, he adds. The system has three major structural problems: too many separate school districts, segregation by age, and extreme use of test scores.

While I’ve been doing this little new job I have which includes bouncing around Europe for a while, I’ve kind of neglected this blog a little bit.  Before I write anything substantial, I figured I’d fill the gap with some high speed video I took of a couple of professional 800m races that took place in Lignano, Italy.

When i get time, I’ll go through a little bit of the process of post-season evaluation that I go through using Tommy Schmitz as an example.  He had a kind of crazy season filled with some rookie mistakes by me and some ups and downs but came away with a nice 3:39 PR and another 2 races under his old PR, so no complaints, but I’ll go through what went right, wrong, and how to fix things.

Also, here’s a brief interview I did with Runner’s World on how my job’s going so far:

In this episode of Magness & Marcus on Coaching, we take on one of the oft-forgotten and misunderstood items in the world of running: the Neural component. Starting off with defining the CNS and motor programming in coaches speak, we take a look at how to integrate this type of work in the realm of distance running. Investigating sprinting, drills, lifting, and ploy’s we try and give the listener an understanding of when we implement these items (hint: not thrown in after a workout), how much we need, and what type we need.

Before ending, we get into two of my favorite topics when discussing neural work: Fatigue and priming. CNS or neural fatigue is one of the most misunderstood concepts in the endurance world. As it’s a fatigue that we runners don’t quite understand. We’re used to feeling drained or tired after really long runs or hard workouts which give us this sensation of fatigue. With neural fatigue, our trained senses often betray us. Understanding what neural fatigue feels like and how long it takes to bounce back from is key to understanding how to program this work. Lastly, with priming, we can use neural work like sprinting, hops, or ploys to get the body primed to perform at peak physical performance the next day. After this podcast, you should have a better understanding of how to implement these concepts in your training.

As always, let us know if you have any topics you want to hear covered or comments on any of our shows,

Uniquely Hong Kong

Uniquely Hong Kong is a series focusing on the things that set the city apart from the rest of the world. From its oldest families to its fascinating trades, South China Morning Post gets to the heart of what makes Hong Kong tick.

What makes a true Hongkonger?

A Hongkonger overseas, when asked where they’re from, will invariably answer, “Hong Kong” rather than “China”. I was born in Toowoomba in the Australian state of Queensland, but do not reply “Toowoomba” or “Queensland” when posed that question; the answer is always “Australia”.

The Constitution spells out some of our most cherished rights but says almost nothing about how those rights are to be enforced. It provides, for example, that “Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech,” but says nothing about what happens if Congress does. It declares that “[t]he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated.” But what if that right is violated?

The answer, it turns out, has changed over time. The featured article, divided into four parts and titled The Path of the Constitution, discusses some of these changes and their implications. The first part explains how constitutional rights used to be enforced by courts. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, there were basically two ways. The first – raising the constitutional right as a legal defense against a lawsuit or a prosecution – is familiar today. If the government tries to prosecute you under an unconstitutional law, you point out the law is unconstitutional and that should end the matter. This is how Robert Stevens avoided thirty-seven months in prison for selling videos depicting animal cruelty:  when prosecuted, he successfully argued that what he was doing was protected by the First Amendment. It’s also how the members of the Westboro Baptist Church avoided civil liability when they picketed a funeral and were subsequently sued:  when sued, they successfully argued that their protest was protected by the First Amendment. The second way was to use a common law cause of action. A simple example: if an officer was unreasonably searching your home, you could sue him for trespass (a common law cause of action), and he would have no defense against the lawsuit. He couldn’t say “it’s my job” or “I’m allowed to search” because the Constitution forbids unreasonable searches. Accordingly, he would have no defense to the lawsuit brought against him and would thus be subject to civil liability. It could be harsh for officers who made honest mistakes (and the article points out examples of this), but that’s the way it was. In this system, the enforcement of constitutional rights – and, as a corollary, enforcing the limits that the Constitution imposes on the government – relied heavily on common law causes of action.

In Part II, the article describes how several factors disrupted the use of common law remedies as a mechanism for enforcing the provisions of the Constitution. For one, there was a trend towards affording officers immunity from damages that would otherwise flow from lawsuits. Second, and independent of officer immunity, the prospect of actual monetary recovery diminished. Third, new technologies, such as telephones and wiretapping, implicated constitutional rights that did not give rise to common law causes of action (and therefore remedies) at common law. These factors combined to create the sense (among scholars and jurists) that the common law system of remedies was no longer in fact providing remedies for constitutional wrongs.

In light of the history outlined in Parts I and II, Part III reexamines three of the most controversial Supreme Court decisions regarding the adjudication of civil liberties – Mapp v. Ohio (incorporating the exclusionary rule); Monroe v. Pape (extending the Section 1983 cause of action); and Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Narcotics Bureau (implying a cause of action under the Fourth Amendment) – to demonstrate how the path of common law remedies most visibly affected the Court’s jurisprudence. Looking at these cases through the lens of common law remedies yields surprising and interesting insights, which Part III discusses in depth. For example, Fourth Amendment scholarship generally assumes the exclusionary rule was a judge-made doctrine born in Boyd v. United States and Weeks v. United States. To the contrary, as the article describes, the exclusionary rule finds its origin in an age-old property remedy: if someone unlawfully takes your property, you can sue to get it back. The article traces the doctrinal history of the exclusionary rule from a principle of property to the exclusionary rule we know and recognize today.

The broader ambition of this article is to encourage a more precise debate, one that is more responsive to the issues faced by the Court when it decided these cases. It seems that one’s position on these controversial cases should be tied to a more coherent view of the relationship between the Constitution and the common law. Part IV provides four possible options for how to think about this relationship. The first option is to understand constitutional rights as completely independent from common law remedies. If those remedies dwindle in scope or availability, and if constitutional rights deflate as a result, then so be it – that is a problem for the political system, not the federal judiciary. For those unwilling to incur deflation of constitutional rights, there are essentially three other options. The second is to adapt – to interpret and recalibrate rights in order to preserve them in the face of otherwise eroding remedies. For example, in Katz v. United States, the Court overruled its precedent in Olmstead v. United States and extended the Fourth Amendment to protect against warrantless wiretapping because, in part, no common law cause of action existed for the then-novel problem of wiretapping. The third is to require a baseline of specific common law remedies and to have the judiciary ensure their availability. This approach would require having a due process right to the common law remedies that were available in 1791 and 1868. The fourth is to leave the entire question of remedies to Congress and the states, thereby accepting a diversity of approaches while monitoring to ensure the remedies provided are constitutionally adequate. While the article does not address the normative question of which option is best, it provides these options as a useful and unexamined methodological starting point for how to handle the Constitution’s relationship with the common law.

True Water Conservation requires an integrated approach and taking the initiative to be part of the solution. Jo Ann and Ted, in Talmadge, were reluctant to get rid of their front lawn because they did not know what it could turn into, did not want to put something in that required a lot of water and did not like the cactus and gravel look. But, we found a solution that worked.

We arrived at a design including fruit trees, natives and pollinating plants. We installed a 420-gallon rainwater tank that overflows into a basin in the front yard for passive water collection during the rainy season. We put in a simple Laundry-to-Landscape system to provide a consistent supply of water to fruit trees every week. This yard is augmented by good soil and mulch to create better absorption of water and prevent evaporation. In just a year, Jo Ann and Ted have a thriving oasis and more wildlife than ever before (lizards, butterflies, hummingbirds, bees). They have told me that they are amused to overhear their neighbors remark, “Don’t they know we are in a drought?” even as they watch their apples ripen without any municipal water.

Save water and create an oasis by planting drought-tolerant and native plants.

Save water and create an oasis by planting drought-tolerant and native plants.

Generally, with the right combination of strategies, people are seeing reductions by half in their water use. Here are some tips to help you get started at your own home.

  1. Start by REDUCING your water use.
    Get rid of your thirsty landscape so you don’t need water in the first place. This doesn’t mean artificial turf, gravel and cactus, or hardscaping. It also doesn’t mean investing a ton of money in re-landscaping, tanks, or greywater plumbing. Property value can be preserved with the right plants in the right places and some well directed rainwater. Notice a return of butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees to our neighborhoods!
    If you are preparing your landscape for redevelopment and you want to make the best use of your water resources, before you decided on plants and a design, figure out what greywater and rainwater potential you have. Create a water budget. Design your plantings to use the the easiest water to access and at the volumes that are plant appropriate.
    Sometimes, if you can imagine changing some personal habits a little or altering your routines, your water distribution will be more effective! Like changing your shower from a 2GPM shower head to a 1.5GPM shower head. With 20 minutes of showering a day you end up saving 10 gallons a day! That’s 3600 gallons for the year! Not to mention getting the water budget right for your landscape. 40 gallons a day might be too much for a drought tolerant landscape. Better yet, create an outdoor shower to avoid expensive retrofits and let the water go directly to the plants that need them, ending your need for irrigation.
    This can look like many things, but often looks like a 205-gallon tank instead of a 55-gallon barrel. Did you know that a 1000-square-foot roof will shed 600 gallons in just one inch of rain? With 10 inches of rain on average in San Diego, that adds up to a lot of water. Think big for your water storage needs.
    Getting your neighbors and friends involved can make short work out of a greywater or rainwater installation. Host a workshop for your friends and neighbors.
    You just have to learn what your resources are, and make sure you get it done right! Connect with a local expert for a consultation, take their recommendations, and use them as your resource along the way. Buy a good book and follow the instructions. Learn about water budgeting. Take a class and make a friend to skill-share with to get the job done. You can find tons of good resources at
    Sometimes your neighbors don’t want to do what you are doing, but you’d be surprised how they can contribute if you just ask! Like one family who is borrowing their neighbor’s downspout to help fill their 1320 gallon rainwater tank.
    In our community we have some amazing resources. You don’t have to do everything yourself, and often times we all benefit from working together. Bring a friend to a workshop so you each can internalize the parts of the information that you are best at. Get consultations from local experts in creating a water plan, developing a landscape plan, creating good soil, growing food, growing natives. Likely, if we all rely on people who are really skilled at what they do, we can create something far more abundant than if we try to do everything ourselves.
    Did you know that your water footprint takes into account the food you eat? If your food is grown outside of San Diego, your water footprint is higher. Growing food in your own backyard with onsite water (rainwater for veggies, and greywater for fruit trees) means that you aren’t wasting oil to bring the food to San Diego and water, usually imported, to grow your food.
  10. We are ALL part of the solution to creating local water in San Diego.
    If all homeowners in San Diego reduced landscape irrigation by 50% using an integrated approach to onsite water management, we would decrease our imported water needs by 20%, more than twice what the Carlsbad desalination provides for our county by much more energy intensive methods! Plus by rerouting our rainwater into our gardens, we offset storm drain pollution and by rerouting our greywater into our soil, we offset costly infrastructure upgrades to wastewater treatment facilities! If you don’t own your home, talk to your landlord, or your friends who own their homes. Turn the conversation up and the water use down! Join the movement.

MANCHESTER, N.H. - A former New Hampshire woman faced death in the India terrorist attacks this week.

Rachel Cirincione, who grew up in Holderness and still has family in the state, was in the Taj Hahal hotel. She hid from terrorist gunfire and grenades, heard people screaming as they were gunned down trying to escape and waited for rescue as fire raged around her.

Cirincione is a tour director with an international tour company. She was in India for a training session. She told her story to the New Hampshire Union Leader from her home in Staten Island, N.Y.

Cirincione said she considered running through the fire to a stairway, and learned later that terrorists were shooting people on the stairs.

She couldn't smash her window and breathed through a tiny hole she chiseled in the frame with a corkscrew. Finally, she signaled firefighters with a headlamp, and they smashed the window and rescued her.

In Manchester, her mother, Barbara Cirincione, saw the rescue live on the Internet.

Spring food training

Mariners, Centerplate, and Ethan Stowell partnership continues

When baseball season arrives, foodies everywhere rejoice-they probably love baseball, but it's really about what's new food-wise at Safeco Field. Each year something new arrives, some favorites stay on, and they're obligated to try everything. Obligated!

New restaurant concepts coming on this year are Ballard Pizza Company, Bramling Cross, Great State Burger, and Uptown China, and all are offering some delicious options. The following four concepts will be in The 'Pen, the spot for signature concessions and socializing.

Ballard Pizza Company. Pizza by the slice: cheese, pepperoni, funghi-seasonal fresh mushrooms and thyme, ham and pineapple, salsiccia-Italian sausage, fennel, fennel pollen, on New York thin crust.

Dynamite Chicken. This comes from Bramling Cross; the chicken is buttermilk-marinated and fried. Hot wings with honey-chili sauce, Taylor Shellfish oysters with Frank's RedHot sauce, pickle fries (we're saying now DON'T TRY THESE-you'll never eat anything else-photo), spicy tater tots.

Great State Burger. It's the classic American burger only better: organically-raised beef, single or double patty, with or without cheese. They will also offer their organic grains and seasonal vegetables veggie burger (photo), crinkle cut fries, and organic chocolate, strawberry, or chocolate milkshakes. Josh Henderson's favorite shake is the strawberry-it's worth checking out!

Poquitos. Street tacos take over at Edgar's Cantina and Edgar's Tacos (chicken, beef, pork) on hand-made corn tortillas. There will also be seasonal margaritas and Oaxacan chapulines (toasted grasshoppers with chile-lime salt seasoning (you have to cover them with something, right?). Both locations will still be known as Edgar's.

The Intentional Wok on the main level will be taken over by Uptown China. Look for classic Asian combos like beef and broccoli, General Tso's chicken, Kung Pao chicken, Mongolian beef, sweet and sour pork, fried rice, hot and sour soup, bubble tea, and giant Mariners fortune cookies (combo photo)

Safeco's Third Base Terrace Club Lounge will now be known as Heritage Distilling Co. BSB Lounge. This Gig Harbor distillery will offer their award-winning spirits, including their signature BSB (brown sugar bourbon).

Rita's Italian Ice is new this year and will offer made-fresh daily frozen ices, gelati (Italian ice layered with frozen custard), Misto shakes (Italian ice blended with frozen custard), frozen custard cups, cones (regular and waffle) and sundaes, as well as frozen custard cookie sandwiches. Find them at five locations throughout the ballpark on the Main and View Levels.

A new concept for the Main Level is Frozen Rope Sandwich Company that will offer made-to-order ice cream sandwiches. Hope's gourmet cookies, house-made brownies, hand-scooped Snoqualmie Valley or Lopez Island Creamery ice cream, rolled in toppings (mini M&Ms, Fruity Pebbles, nuts, chocolate sprinkles). Root beer floats for the kids and hard root beer floats for the adults.

Fletcher's will be serving the all-beef frank recipe that was served from 1990-1999 at the Kingdome.

CB's Nuts is back roasting peanuts in the shell on site in a 100-year-old roaster (photo).

Hop Valley Brewing of Springfield, Oregon, will bring its IPAs, ales, and lagers to Safeco Field at a new location down the left field line on the Main Level.

Columbia Winery is the new "house" wine; red and white available at concession stands, clubs, and restaurants. Beringer Founders' Estate Wines will offer fine wines at 1st Base Vine. A selection of varietals by the glass and full-bottle carafe.

As Ethan reminds us, they are offering popular and engaging items in a 45,000-seat restaurant with everyone being served in a four-hour period. The Mariners are very supportive of maintaining this quality. "I get the accolades, but I'm the least deserving person," he says. Well, someone should be thanked.

Next time you head to the ballpark, come hungry.

DeLomba Out-Points Cowart Over 8 Rounds

By Stephen Tobey:MASHANTUCKET, Conn. – A good body attack can be help a fighter win, but on Thursday, it wasn’t necessary for Nick DeLomba.

The New England junior lightweight champion from Cranston, R.I. threw a lot of punches against Amos Cowart and just about all of them were thrown to the head.

At the end of eight rounds, DeLomba won a unanimous decision over fhe four-time Florida Golden Gloves champion at Foxwoods Resort Casino in a non-tttle lightweight bout.

“Everybody looks at me and thinks I’m going to throw to the body,” said DeLomba. “This is what I do and I’m really smooth.”

Robert Paolino and Glenn Feldman scored it 80-72 and Eddie Scincio scored it 78-74.

DeLomba is now 11-1 (2 knockouts). Cowart, of Groveland, Florida, dropped to 11-2-1 (9).

Throughout the fight, DeLomba was the more energetic fighter, frequently landing 1-2 combinations to Cowart’s head. Though he was seldom an arm’s length away from Cowart, he used his superior footwork to create angles to land more combinations.

Jose Salinas of Albuquerque, New Mexico won an eight-round unanimous decision over former World Boxing Association featherweight champion Dardan Zenunaj of Braine le Conte, Belgium.

Don Trella and Robert Paolino scored it 78-74 and Eddie Scuncio scored it 77-75.

The two fights stayed at close range for most of the fight and Salinas fought through a bloody nose since the second round and traded with Zenunaj, Salinas (10-3-1, 5 KOs) picked up the pace in the third round and was more active in the final five rounds.

Zenunaj (12-2, 9 KOs ) was physically stronger and landed some solid overhand rights throughout the bout. In the seventh, he landed a right uppercut flush on Salinas’ chin, forcing Salinas to take a step back.

“It was my heart,” Salinas said. “I just wanted to give a good show for the fans.”

Junior welterweight Mykey Williams of East Hartford, Conn. knocked out David Nelson of Lawon, Oklahoma in the first round of a scheduled four. Williams (4-0, 3 KO s) dropped Nelson with a right hand to the head and a left hook to the body. Joey Lupino waved off the count and the fight was over at 24 seconds. Nelson dropped to 3-6 (1). Emergency personnel carried him out of the ring on a stretcher, transporting him to a nearby hospital.

Irvin Gonzalez of Worcester, Mass. stopped Juan Muniz of Tyler, Texas in the first round of a scheduled four at featherweight. Gonzalez (2-0, 2 KO s) punished Muniz to the body until Arthur Mercante stopped it at 2:00. Muniz dropped to 0-5.

In a battle of debuting welterweights, Anthony Laureano of East Hartford, Conn. won a four-round majority decision against Nahir Albright of Philadelphia. Eddie Scuncio and Glen Feldman scored it 39-37. Robert Paolino scored it 38-38. Laureano was the more active of the two, landing the straighter shots while Albright had some success landing wide body shots around Laureano’s guard.

Debuting welterweight Jonathan Figueroa of Hartford, Conn. knocked out Demetrius Williams of Philadelphia in the final round of a scheduled four. After Figueroa dropped Williams with a right hand, Arthur Mercante reached the count of 10 at 1:58. Williams dropped to 0-2.

Lightweight Jon Fernandez of Bilbao, Spain stopped Naciff Castillo of Cozumel, Quintana Roo, Mexico in the fifth round of a scheduled eight. Joey Lupino stopped it at 1:45. Fernandez is now 9-0 (7); Castillo dropped to 17-9-2 (5).

Wesley Ferrer of Brooklyn, N.Y. stopped Angel Figueroa of Lorain, Ohio 20 seconds into the seventh round of a scheduled eight at lightweight. Ferrer is now 12-0 (7). Figueroa is 4-4-1.

User powered campaign to ask SEGA to bring more PC port titles is back

SEGA fans have been really active on petitions these days. After all, community asked for Ryo Hazuki on SASRT (thanks to Sumo Digital’s Inititative) and now he’s finally there, right? It is clear that there’s still a lot of support to SEGA and its beloved IPs from the fans, and sometimes games they want aren’t on platforms of their like, it becomes difficult for consumers to get all titles. Multiplatform releases are sometimes difficult to happen, namely because of exclusive deals, funding, or sometimes it doesn’t seem profitable to a company to release a title without a considerable amount of players on it, etc.; which is totally reasonable since sales have to happen and cared about in order to be in business.

Today NeoGAF user TaroYamada, brought back a social network petiton to ask SEGA for more PC port titles available for consumers. We weren’t approached as he states in the forum thread, but We do listen to what community has to say, and we will gladly spread the word about it! You can also find the petition and sign it here. You can also read TaroYamada‘s NeoGAF post over here.

[edit: Taro did approach our team member cube_b3 , sorry folks, my bad :P]
  • It’s targeting games that are a perceived lower risk, the initial suggestions are: Vanquish, Bayonetta and Virtua Fighter 5. Please note that even if you disagree with the initial suggestions, a massive part of this effort is about adjusting SEGA’s perceptions of what the PC market is open to concerning their content.
  • Within the next 24-48 hours I’ll have this up on SEGANerds, SEGABits and SEGAShiro. That’s a grassroots thing and it’s pretty much where my connections begin and end with the press. If you run your own sites and you support this petition, or if you know press who might be interested in this petition give it a forward, spread the word if you don’t mind.
  • Outside of that, please tweet, revive the #SEGAPCPorts hashtag and get this out to your followers.
Panzer Dragoon Orta PC
Panzer Dragoon Orta on PC? Shut up and take my money, all of it!

What is clear is that PC has the bigger amount of SEGA consumers these days, due to titles as Football Manager, Total War Rome, Company of Heroes, SASRT, and Japan only: PSO2. They are selling and keeping SEGA alive! So… why there aren’t many titles for this platform yet?  It is also true that in the past titles such as Sonic R, Panzer Dragoon, Billy Hatcher, etc. didn’t sell that much units on PC, but thanks to Steam as a powerhouse carrier on digital distribution the scene is quite different now. SEGA should totally take the chance to get all the pie.

Besides, there are plenty advantages for PC: low cost for pusblishing, Steam Sales boost users on games, games will be always on steam libraries, PC users are always hungry for games, games can look prettier cause of hardware upgrades, SEGA has already some remastered games and those just need to be ported.

It is also noted that user TaroYamada is asking for Bayonetta, Vanquish, and VF5. But there’s a problem with the 1st two titles, since those IPs are splited up with Platinum Games, and Ninty has some rights over Bayonetta now, permissions and negotiations would be long and tiring. So I think some other titles should be up for consideration instead. Here’s a list of some titles already remasterd or digitally released that could be nice to get ported on PC:

Panzer Dragoon Orta, JSRF, and Otogi, since they already run on PC type hardware due to Xbox release. REZ HD, c’mon it would be a waste not getting this on PC! Monster World IV, cause its awesome. Virtua Striker series, cause Europe and Latin America love soccer, and the arcades were already popular on the regions, also, all those Football Manager sales don’t mean anything or what? also a FIFA world cup is coming this year, why not use the hype to boost those sales? Just to name a few.

Sega steam
It would be beautiful to see 1 day Steam like this

To end this report just a few suggestions to people tweeting on this campaign:

  • Please, don’t outrage on the phrases you tweet or text on social networks about this, not everyone does it, but some users do. It is clear that you want your voice to be heard, but remember that there are people who work at SEGA’s community team, they are people too and are there to help you in getting your message to the proper people, final word does not rely on the community team, so it really helps their day and the campaign if you are polite on your say, right?
  • Reach community sites properly, they are nice people who are really passionate about SEGA too, so they will do what they can to help if they see it as a correct option. Try reaching Radio Sega, Sonic Retro, Sega-Addicts, SegaBits, Sega Driven, Sega Shiro, TSSZ, Sega Galactico, sega otaku, sega 16, sega world italia, just to name a few, on their twitter accounts.
  • Please don’t outrage if this doesn’t work out entirely, it takes time, and sometimes other negotiations need to be done first for things like this to happen.

As a Steam User, I would love to see this happen one day. So what titles, that are in fact reliable, would you like to see get ported on PC?

Graphic Designer and Illustrator, and of course a SEGA Nerd and Fan!

    A job well done, nicely detailed news post.

    • Manuel García Melgar

      ahhh! thanks for the update! will do so on the note. the problem is that since bayo and vanquish are split ips they will need all parties involved to give permission, which in end would be hard to accomplish

    • Manuel García Melgar

      ahhh!! thanks for the update!! I will add that to the post. as for bayo and vanquish the problem relies in that is a shared IP, so it will need a long procedure to happen, so its not reliable for a short time

  • OfficerGallo

    It is beautiful to see a young, high-functioning autistic male create something so progressive in the SEGA online community and the video games industry in general. A true cause for spectral celebration and community action.

  • Kerry LeBlanc

    For the love of humanity DO NOT encourage Sega to port ANY of their games. So far they are 0-2 in porting with both FFVII and FFXIII 2 being resounding failures.

Endless Space 2 launches May 19

Following the success of Endless Space, SEGA and Amplitude Studios began working on the sequel, launching an early access version of Endless Space 2 last October. You are the leader of an advanced civilization, who is tasked to take his (or her) colony into the deep depths of space.

Earlier today, it was announced that Endless Space 2 would be launching May 19th!

From Steam:

“You will explore mysterious star systems, discover the secrets of ancient races, develop advanced technologies of unthinkable power, and, of course, encounter new life forms to understand, to court or to conquer.

Your story unfolds in a galaxy that was first colonized by a people known as the Endless, who rose and fell eons ago. All that remains of them are mystical ruins, powerful artifacts, and a mysterious, near-magical substance known as Dust.”
