ASLH: Registration and Transportation

Via H-Law we have the following announcement:

Online registration is now open for the 2013 ASLH meeting in South Florida.  Access to the online registration is available at here.  A link for discounted rooms under the conference block will be emailed to members after they register for the conference. Please contact the ASLH webmaster if you do not receive the link.

To help in making travel plans, the local arraignments committee provides the following information on Transportation from the airport to Hyatt Regency Miami
There are two options for flying into the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale area.

1.  The closest airport to the conference hotel is Miami International Airport (MIA).  From MIA there are three options for transportation to and from the conference Hotel – Taxi, Super Shuttle or Rail.

        A Taxi is $25 - $30 one way from Miami Airport
        Rail is $2.00 one way
        Super Shuttle - $16 - $19

Using the Metrorail:
Travel between MIA and the Conference Hotel is via the ORANGE LINE with a transfer
between the Metrorail and the People Mover at Government Center.

Get on the Metrorail at Miami Intl Airport – Fare $2.00 per person
- Exit at Government Center
Get on the People Mover at Government Center – Complimentary service
People Mover has two loops – Use the Inner Loop
- Exit at the Knight Center
- Take the escalator down one level to the lobby of the Miami Towers
- Then follow the exit to Hyatt Regency Miami
- Hours of Operation for both trains are 5:00 am to midnight

Paying Your Fare – Cost @ $2.00 per trip.
To ride Metrorail, you will need an EASY card or EASY Ticket as the fare gates do not accept cash.   To obtain an EASY Card or EASY Ticket, walk over to one of the EASY card vending machines located at the entrance of each rail station. Obtain and load a card or ticket using cash or a valid credit card.  Then use the card or ticket to pay your fare at the fare gate, by tapping the EASY Card or EASY ticket on the electronic Metrorail fare gates.

2.  The other option for flying into the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale area is the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL).  While further away from the conference hotel (travel times to and from the conference hotel are estimated at around 1:45 door-to-door), FLL include such discount air carriers as SouthwestJetBlue and Spirit, none of which fly into MIA.

Shuttle Service from FLL is provided via Go Airport.  A shared ride, round-trip service for one passenger (limit 2 bags) is $26.45.

Walker on Race and City-County Politics in St. Louis

Anders Walker, Saint Louis University School of Law, has posted House to House: Mergers, Annexations, & the Racial Implications of City-County Politics in St. Louis, which appeared in the St. Louis University Public Law Review 34 (2014):
According to most scholars, Jim Crow's death elevated African Americans even as white departures depressed them, condemning blacks to isolated neighborhoods, segregated schools, and crumbling urban cores. To counter such reversals, liberals endorsed the consolidation of urban and suburban zones, hoping that such moves might thwart flight, promote integration, and ameliorate the effects of what scholars began in the 1970s to term “institutional” or “structural” racism. Initially such efforts focused primarily on schools, but quickly expanded to include other types of consolidation as well, including the consolidation, or merger, of major metropolitan areas and surrounding counties. While the rubric of consolidation has tended to enjoy a progressive cast, certain aspects of metropolitan mergers bode ill for African Americans, particularly in the area of electoral influence. For example, St. Louis City boasts a comparative black majority of 47.9% (with whites totaling 46.4% and Asians 3.1%), while the adjoining county claims only 23.7% African American residents. As this essay shall demonstrate, full integration of the two entities would lead blacks to lose significant electoral clout, particularly over county positions like the prosecutor's office, leaving them politically weaker across the board.

Chocolate Covered Snow Peaks

When my friend Julie sent me this recipe I was really excited! I love working with meringue...I think it's so fun. These were a great addition to my cookie tray. They were light and airy in contrast to most of the other decadent treats I've made this year. They pair perfectly with a hot cup of tea and are just a great little addition to a cookie tray.
Source: Tyler Florence

4 large egg whites at room temperature
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons superfine granulated sugar (I used regular granulated...not superfine. This worked fine)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (I used clear)
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 225 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites on low-medium speed with the whisk attachment until the whites become foamy. Add the cream of tartar and turn speed up to medium, beating until just fluffy. Add the sugar gradually, so it incorporates into the whites slowly without collapsing them. Once all the sugar has been added, add the vanilla and increase the speed to high, whisking until the meringue is firm and glossy, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Place meringue mixture into a piping bag with a medium-sized nozzle attached (I used a large star tip...I'm quite sure it was #32) Pipe 24 bite-sized "kiss"-shaped meringues onto the trays and place in the oven. Bake for 1 hour undisturbed then turn off heat and leave in the oven overnight to really dry out.

Melt chocolate over a double-boiler or in the microwave on medium power for 30 seconds. Holding each meringue by the peak dip the bases in chocolate so the bottom half of the meringue is coated. Let any excess chocolate drop off before placing on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Allow to set at room temperature - do not put in the fridge. Once set, store in an airtight container.

Backlinks are very important for SEO as Google use them to calculate web-site PageRank (PR). Each backlink is counted as a vote!

Now you don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand that more backlinks means higher PR and higher rankings. Many knowing that get involved in what is knows and "link exchanges scheme". Basically they start exchanging backlinks with other sites in return for including links from other sites on their own website.

One-way backlinks are the ones Google likes. This means that the website is linking to other site without the reciprocal link.

Many recur to black hat SEO and start doting what's known as two-ways backlinks. You link to my site and I link to yours. These practices are considered bad for SEO and could result in penalty.

Please read this post to understand what is: one-way-two-way-three-way-linking

One way backlinks are generated by YOU simply including the link to your site in your post, article or forum signature.

Article marketing is a great way to generate such links.

If some site contains the link to your but your website doesn't link back to that web-site it's called one way backlink and it's the best one for improving or increasing PR (PageRank) and rankings!

Critics say it’s time NY ends 1885 Scaffold Law

Trinity Church

Trinity Church

Years before skyscrapers, when New York City’s tallest building was still the 281-foot spire of Wall Street’s historic Trinity Church, state lawmakers passed the Scaffold Law, which made property owners and contractors liable for most “gravity-related” injuries to workers on construction sites.

As the years went by, and the buildings and dangers climbed ever higher, the 1885 law stayed on the books and allowed injured workers to collect big court verdicts for medical bills, pain and suffering. And it remained long after other states abandoned similar laws in favor of less costly federal workers’ compensation insurance.

Today, New York’s Scaffold Law, protected by the state’s powerful labor unions and trial lawyers, is the only one of its kind in the nation. It requires another layer of general liability insurance for contractors, and hits taxpayers by adding hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars, to the cost of every public project.

Some New York government agencies and contractors say the cost of the insurance, which can often be double that of other states, is hitting a crisis point that could soon suspend work on bridges, schools and the recovery from Superstorm Sandy.

“It increases the cost of doing business and decreases what we are capable of doing in New York state,” said Carley Hill, of Union Concrete and Construction Corp. in West Seneca. “You are losing potential millions of dollars in jobs that could go to people.”

For example, building groups estimate that the law’s required liability insurance premiums will add an extra $200 million to $400 million to the state’s $5 billion replacement of the Tappan Zee Bridge.

New York City’s school system says the insurance cost it incurs from the law is enough to build two new schools every year, according to an internal document obtained by The Associated Press.

In western New York, the general liability insurance premium was $380,000 to cover rehabilitation on just 23 miles of the state Thruway.

That liability insurance existed in other states but was long ago replaced by federal workers’ compensation insurance, which requires workers to give up their right to sue for liability and provides standard payments for medical bills and lost wages as a quick way to settle claims without assessing blame.

What makes New York unique is that the Scaffold Law gives workers on all construction sites the ability to sue property owners and contractors directly for liability, which can include compensation for punitive damages or pain and suffering.

That has spawned multimillion-dollar settlements against construction companies, which have, in turn, driven up the premiums to pay for the general liability insurance.

Former General Motors Co. worker Tim Swedenhjelm of East Concord credits the law with helping him walk again after a 1999 accident when scaffolding collapsed on him, breaking bones in his back, paralyzing his leg and stopping his heart for two minutes. A big court award he didn’t want to divulge paid for more tests, four back surgeries and two knee surgeries.

“I would have been written off if it was just workers’ compensation,” he said.

But opponents of the law say taxpayers can no longer afford the cost of the required liability insurance, and public projects are reduced or lost at a time when New York’s job growth is already trailing that of the nation. Some also complain that the general liability insurance required by the law has become difficult to obtain.

“It is now fast becoming a crisis of availability,” said Mike Elmendorf, CEO of the Associated General Contractors. “If you can’t insure it, you can’t build it.”

Those were among the argument of business this year in the 2013 legislative session. Through a series of closed-door, unannounced negotiations, the perennial issue came perhaps closer than ever to substantial changes, according to players from both sides.

“For the first time, some of the trade unions are willing to sit down and have discussion,” said Senate Deputy Majority Leader Thomas Libous.

Meanwhile, powerful Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver has been accused of blocking repeal or changes because he works for a Manhattan law firm that handles such cases and paid him $450,000 last year.

“We don’t think it’s the right policy to undo these important protections,” said Silver spokesman Michael Whyland.

One comment

  1. It is both sad and remarkable that here in NY we see a trend away from protecting the workers and toward the protection of those industries that ignore the law governing workplace safety. In effect, the argument set forth here is that it’s too expensive to protect people like Mr. Swedenhjelm and his family from the consequences of a statutory violation resulting in a catastrophic accident such as the one he endured.

    The statute complained of is not at all burdensome; what could be more simple than requiring that contractors make sure that those people to whom they delegate work provide ladders and scaffolding that are properly placed and equipped to protect workers from the risk of a fall or, as in this case, a collapse. This is all the law requires.

    Are we as New Yorkers really asking too much of contractors to do this?

    The increased insurance costs arise directly from the fact that General Contractors DON’T police their subcontractors in any manner. To the contrary, they routinely require their subcontractors to add them as “additional insureds” on their liability policies so that, once they have achieved their own economic protection in this manner, they believe that can securely ignore safety concerns on their job site. They believe that protecting themselves from liability with insurance coverage somehow satisfies their statutory obligation to provide a safe place to work for their workers. It doesn’t. This approach simply causes the costs to climb rapidly.

    Had Mr. Swedenhjelm been obligated to rely solely on Workers’ Compensation in NY, he would have been confronted with bureaucratically imposed medical treatment guidelines (read that limitations) and a cap on his benefits, likely with indemnity benefits expiring in about 8 years.

    That system is also under constant attack by these same lobbyists. Here, in attacking this Labor Law statute, they argue that this terrible burden should be covered by Workers’ Compensation and there, in the Workers’ Compensation arena, they argue that the benefits are too great, that they shouldn’t have to pay for the permanently disabled, that the permanently disabled are treating too much.

    Mr. Swedenhjelm would not be able to provide for his family on a long term basis if he had to rely on Workers’ Compensation. His benefits would likely be capped at 8 years, and when those benefits expired eight years hence, these same lobbyists would begin to complain again because, the tax burden of paying for their failures will rest on all of us.

    NYS is a wonderful place to live but it needs to protect those most vulnerable; those that are working trying to put food on the table and care for their families.

    NY should be unwilling to subsidize the careless approach of General Contractors in managing work site safety. The cure is not to abandon the statute but to enforce it and compel conscientious compliance. Had there been enforcement compliance over these many years we would have avoided what these lobbyists see as merely an economic problem and maybe we could have even avoided the deaths and catastrophic injuries suffered by those victimized by the failure to do so.

I Thank CERN for their Having Switched-off the LHC eleven Days ahead of Schedule

Posted by in categories: existential risks, particle physics

Comments — comments are now closed.

  • bill johnson on December 21, 2012 7:38 pm

    Well yes, indeed they did shut down early after a very successful run, both in terms of outputs and outcomes. I would also submit they, for better or worse depending on your belief, tested your theory.

    Throughout the three-year stretch, the LHC ran 6 quadrillion (that’s 15 zeroes) collisions of the two proton beams. In other words there were 6,000,000,000,000,000 chances for the LHC to create just one of the earth ending micro black holes that you worry about. Just one out of 6,000,000,000,000,000 tries. Now either that has already happened in which case there is no use trying to prevent what has already happened, or it hasn’t happened in which case I would ask, how many more quadrillion collisions do we need to have happen before we are able to evaluate the validity of your theory?

    Just to give more context to the numbers here’s another way to think about them. 6 quadrillion collisions over three years is about 228 trillion per hour, or around 63 million every second.

    Here’s the source of the numbers.…-18261452/

  • Otto E. Rössler on December 22, 2012 1:02 am

    Dear Bill:
    Thank you for the interesting link and comment. Do you know the total luminosity reached, at both 7 and 8 TeV?

  • bill johnson on December 22, 2012 5:51 am

    I would direct you to this page which has information from November of this year. A rough estimate based on these numbers is +1.1/fb luminosity at 7 TeV collisions and 2 fb-1 luminosity at 8 TeV collisions

  • Otto E. Rossler on December 23, 2012 2:47 am

    Thank you very much, Bill.
    Do you remember how many black holes they would thereby have hoped to produce according to the early 2008 projections?

  • bill johnson on December 23, 2012 8:18 am

    Actually if I may redirect, I am interested in your predictions here not CERN’s as CERN doesn’t predict the danger that you do. You have stated that the collisions at the LHC are dangerous and indeed said that they may, quite literally cause the end of the world. Furthermore based on the past energy levels and luminosity you predicted a certain percentage to illustrate the chance that these collisions would lead to the result you fear.

    My question to you now 6 quadrillion collisions after your initial prediction is simply this, wouldn’t the completed number of collisions serve as a test of the validity of your theory? It would appear that at the very lest you would need to re-evaluate the chance of the negative result you fear to reflect that it is less likely then you initially predicted.

  • Thomas on December 23, 2012 2:00 pm

    Nobel laureate Dr. Eric A. Cornell, who leads Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) research at the University of Colorado, doesn’t think a micro black hole was created by one of his experiments, but he does not rule out the possibility that a stable micro black hole might explain thousands of missing atoms after an unexplained (bosenova) implosion of a “super atom” containing 16,000 Rb85 atoms at 3 nk (3 billionths of a degree above absolute zero). These atoms were already compressed to approximately the size of a single atom while mutually repelling each other, and when the atoms were subsequently induced to attract to each the BEC unexpectedly imploded beyond detection then exploded but thousands of atoms could not be accounted for, they unexpectedly and mysteriously vanished. From the Cornell-Weiman Nobel Prize Lecture.

  • Otto E. Rossler on December 28, 2012 7:51 am

    Dear Bill:
    Thank you for having specified your question.
    The answer would be in my mind that the chance that two protons collide in such a way that two quarks inside collide head-on is very very minuscule. CERN itself gave such estimates 4 1/2 years ago, which I always used as the basis of my own warnings. They claimed at the time that at best they would get one black hole per second. And that, after ten days’ time, one specimen produced might be slow enough to stay inside earth.
    In short: It is their estimates, not mine, that indicate the level of danger.
    Thank you very much for your kind insisting,

  • Otto E. Rossler on December 28, 2012 8:07 am

    Dear Thomas:
    Yes, I looked into that a bit. The consensus here appears to be that while the quantum states of the electronic features of the atoms in question do merge, those of the nuclei do not. Or if some of the nuclear ones do, those of the smallest constituents of the nuclei do not in view of their much higher energies — much too high to be affected by the not low enough low temperatures used.

    Maybe an expert in the field would care to confirm this so far in my eyes quite plausible disclaimer?

    Maybe even Professor Cornell himself would care to give a comment?

  • bill johnson on December 28, 2012 3:28 pm

    The answer would be in my mind that the chance that two protons collide in such a way that two quarks inside collide head-on is very very minuscule.

    So just to clarify are you then saying that the chance of this is so minuscule that even after 6 quadrillion collisions there could still be a good change that the hypothesized threat would not have materialized yet? I guess the point is that these numbers would indicate that the chance of this worst case scenario you project is far less likely then you have suggested in the past. I bring up the numbers because as we continue to discuses the issue of safety in regards to the LHC, it would certainly seam prudent to consider the years of operation without incident, or negative effect.

  • Otto E. Rossler on December 29, 2012 1:24 am

    Dear Bill:
    Thank you for exercizing reason so well. Rationality is such a great treat when showing its face in the open.
    Quarks are indeed so minuscule that very, very many proton collisions are needed before two collide head-on — to produce a black hole in case the LHC energy happens to suffice for that. Then comes the next uncertain number: very rarely only will the black hole produced have a sufficiently small momentum not to immediately leave the earth.
    So indeed very large numbers of collisions are needed to generate a finite danger. And then, of course, is there this unfortunate waiting delay — even if one black hole stays inside earth, it is so tiny that despite its exponential growth there it will remain innocuous for years to come.
    All of this was known from the beginning, including the remarkable fact that CERN’s sensors are unable to register the successful production of black holes.
    The excuse for the strange behavior of CERN’s — not to admit a safety conference or an update of its safety report or safety page of 2008 — is that the many scientists working there “did not believe” that my results, sent to them and put on the Internet and eventually published in early 2012, hold water.
    In many cases, a scientific consensus built-up in the absence of a single counterproof to a result presented is quite reliable. There is something like a “scientific nose” which does no need a counterproof to know that something is not to be taken seriously. This finite risk appeared worth taking to CERN and to all its anonymous supporters of maximally high rank in the scientific hierarchy, who collectively refused to out themselves with an attempt at a counterproof: If everyone “sees” that a new result is nonsense, why bother?
    This again is a very rational way of proceeding. But — as you realize — so only under “ordinary” circumstances. Ordinary circumstances mean that the risk taken if this bet made out of the hollow belly has a higher degree of gut-felt certainty than the danger incurred when the bet is misplaced.
    This latter point was the reason that I insisted on a scientific counterproof being offered before the experiment should go on. I did so ever since April 18, 2008 (APetitiontoCERN).
    I am not angry with CERN or the community. I only say that their behavior was irrational.
    Forgive me if I proceeded too fast with the above answer. You are probably not yet satisfied with what I replied concerning to the direct point you made?

Windows only: Freeware application Start Killer hides the Start menu button, freeing up extra space on your Windows taskbar. You can still access the Start menu by hitting the Windows key, but Start Killer frees up a good chunk of taskbar real estate. You can optionally disable the Start menu altogether if you wanted to deny users access to it. Start Killer only does one thing, but there's nothing we like better than a simple tool that does exactly what it says. If you're looking for a similar tool for Vista (whose Start button is much smaller), our tipster sent us this AutoHotkey script that may do the trick. Thanks av8612! UPDATE: As The How-To Geek pointed out, the AHK script does not do what was intended and has been removed.

Firefox with Windows only: While traveling the internet, sometimes we don't realize how much memory our browser is hogging until it starts acting sluggish, hangs, or crashes altogether. Firefox extension Memory Fox optimizes your memory so you can surf without slowing down.

Memory Fox keeps an eye on your browser's memory usage and notices when Firefox starts edging toward user-preset resource limits. When it does, the extension springs into action, automatically flushing your memory to recover space and keep your browser from slowing down.

To use the add-on, you need two things: A Windows operating system and Firefox 3. Once you download the tool, restart your browser then activate Memory Fox from the Tools button in the toolbar. Now the add-on is all set up to flush the memory every time you open or close a tab, or switch between tabs.

Memory Fox may not make a noticeable difference in your browsing speed if you've got a souped up computer, but it's a terrific add-on for machines without a lot of extra RAM to sacrifice to the 'fox. It's an experimental extension, Windows only. If you give it a try on your memory-hungry Firefox installation, let's hear how it works out for you in the comments.

Changing Lanes

My thoughts have a new address:

See you there!

Thursday, June 12, 2014

Sweet lies, paradise
You showed me
A new disguise
Every time I held your hand
I thought you loved
I thought you cared
And then you left
Me in despair
The child in me
She trusted you
My dreams you broke
Lit up in smoke
I was Me with You
Bare, naked, alive
You shut the door
I can’t survive
This loneliness
That surrounds me now
Pulled back inside
To the hollow life
You’d found me in
I lived with you
I died with you

The Toughest Job in the World

I have the toughest job in the world, and I can't even crib about it. Its called being a mom. It is that stage in my life when I don't know if I ever existed as another human being. I feel like I am this feeding, loving, puke-cleaning, poop-coaxing, sleep deprived cyborg that was born to be forever available to my increasingly demanding, commanding two year old daughter. And if this wasn't enough, I am also the entertainer/ clown/ doctor/ caregiver/ dietitian/ cleaning lady/ driver with a perpetual frumpy, grumpy demeanor due to being pushed over the edge.

I want my MOMMY!!! :((

First Week of Homeschool

Day two of 2011/2012 homeschool year, and we are already physically worn down. (I will adhere to my nutritionist and go get Vitamin D- you know who you are). We have been healthy all summer, but today my daughter and I are struggling through a cold virus. It might be a "cleaning house to begin school" virus... maybe we are allergic to school books... or to schedules...or ...(you fill in).  I just was thinking a day or so ago that I couldn't remember the last time I had a cold, and attributed this fact to a build up in resistance; maybe I had  developed immunities to most of the common colds. Now I remember how long hard days of work press our bodies' physically. And to think we are only on day two!

I am a recovering "almost" hoarder. What is that? Well, you can walk through my house without crawling over boxes, bags, and books, but getting through the garage and the floor by my side of the bed can be a dangerous feat. Of course, my dear husband of 27 years is orderly. Thankfully God usually pairs us up with someone who has qualities we need to learn. After 27 years, I guess you can say I am a slow learner, but in all honesty I have had so many higher priorities on my plate: raising three children, homeschooling for thirteen years, helping with tutorials and Bible Studies, writing anything and everything, learning relationship skills, and enduring therapy for past 10 years to recover from an very abusive childhood. Beside that, I have been twiddling my thumbs (in my sleep).

Did I tell you I now have a house of teens? Each age has its cherished points and its stress points. To be honest, which I normally am, being a mom of teens is my very favorite stage of raising my children. Finishing therapy may have more to do with it than the age of my children, since I am more now who God originally created me to be. God has brought great internal peace, joy and clear thinking to my being. (A plug for the benefit of trauma therapy by my psychologist who is a Christian.... lots of very hard, painful work, but it is so worth it! Therapy is not for everyone, but it is for those who God directs to counseling.)

My oldest son is a senior this year; he is finishing up school using Abeka Streaming Video Online academy. I would highly recommend this to any parent wanting to supervise but also release their child to independent study. I encourage my son to work out his own schedule, balancing 20 hours of work, 25 to 30 hours of school, a few home chores (very few: put up bathroom personal stuff, lift clothes off the floor, place dishes in dishwasher after emptying, toss out empty food containers, practice creativity by visually imaging that his bed is made)  and his social activities. While I am here to help, he needs to learn to take flight. I wont be one of those hovering parents, waiting for the text, wondering who he is with, following his daily schedule, etc. Over and over my advice to him has been to enjoy college... he knows that doesn't mean to get plastered or to party through his classes. I want him to develop relationships, to learn some thing, to try out new activities, to experience school sports and campus organizations.  We just need to find which college he will attend... one of the many things on our 2011/2012 school to-do list.

I am very happy that my other two children (David - sophomore - 16 and Angela - 8th grade -14) are doing two courses together: Starting Point (learning worldview perspectives) and Mystery of History Volume 3. I like doing some school together as a family, and the temperament of these two make working together encouraging and beneficial to both. From the bottom of my heart I love to learn and teach, but we rarely get a lot of time for this... too much required-by-law hoops to jump through for a high school diploma, but I will address this in detail later in the year.

Right now, I am going to savor any moment we get together and even if we have scratchy throats I want us to finish our 2nd day of school to keep on track... the best we can... We might still be working late tonight, but this is the luxury of schooling at home. I keep praying God will touch our bodies and bring us back to full strength physically. If you have time, pray for us. I ever keep in mind that I am in the enemy's world, that he hates Christians, and especially homeschool families. But in Jesus, we are overcomers!

So how is your week of school going?

Intergenerational transfers and the social discount rate

  • Richard B. Howarth
  • Richard B. Norgaard

DOI: 10.1007/BF00418816

Cite this article as:
Howarth, R.B. & Norgaard, R.B. Environ Resource Econ (1993) 3: 337. doi:10.1007/BF00418816

This paper investigates the relationship between intergenerational asset transfers and the choice of the discount rate for use in cost-benefit analysis in a model of a competitive overlapping generations economy constrained by a socially managed exhaustible resource. Provided that there are no distortions in capital markets and that all agents hold perfect foresight, cost-benefit techniques will result in a Pareto efficient resource allocation if the discount rate is set equal to the market rate of interest. But since the path of the interest rate depends on the level of intergenerational transfers, cost-benefit techniques do not ensure a socially desirable distribution of welfare between generations; a social optimum will result only if intergenerational transfers are properly chosen and enforced. Decentralized private altruism may result in intergenerational transfers that both present and future individuals would agree are too small if members of the present generation attach positive weight to the general welfare of future generations, not simply their personal descendants. In a world where intergenerational transfers are non-optimal, second-best policy-making may imply a constrained optimum that is inefficient. Together, these findings suggest that cost-benefit analysis is at best a partial criterion to policy formulation that should be used only in conjunction with ethical principles that define the proper distribution of welfare between present and future generations.

[plt-scheme] question about continuation example in "t-y-scheme in fixnum days"

From: nusret (nbalci_l at yahoo.com)
Date: Mon Apr 3 17:11:47 EDT 2006

I'm learning Scheme and got a little bit confused
after reading the tree traversal example on Ch 13,
"Jumps" of Teach yourself scheme in fixnum days. (page
53 in the pdf file).

Could someone enlighten me how (rest-of-tree 'resume),
and also ((null? tree) 'skip) froms work?
First, what are these functions and how do they work?
Do they take any parameters? How many?

You can see my degree of confusion clearly from my
question ;-). If the question is not clear, I can try
to do better. but I guess you got the idea.

Any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance and regards.

[racket] drracket editor running too slow

From: Erich Rast (erich at snafu.de)
Date: Mon Mar 28 06:20:45 EDT 2011

Just for the record, I've been using a one-week old version nightly
built of 5.1 on Ubuntu 10.04 daily during last week and didn't
experience any slowdowns. (on a reasonably fast 2.6 GHz i7 920 with 6GB
RAM, though)

So the slowdown must be specific to Ubuntu 10.10 or your configuration.

The keys would be exposed to browser code in the straw feature I

sample data to the browser, the browser could be modified to dump the

HTTP-only cookies over HTTPS could be used. It's very secure if the
browser hasn't been modified and the straw feature I outlined didn't
attempt to deal with browsers instrumented specifically to defeat the
feature, since instrumented browsers could dump content in the case
where a CDM provides clear pixels and audio samples to the browser

The key loading HTTP request could include a Sec-Foo header that can't
be faked with XHR.

So adding a couple of static-per-file HTTP headers to CDN content is
too onerous for you, but you consider it reasonable to ask browsers to
deal with all the complications of supporting CDMs. Wow.

Hmm.  Do you want the XML Core WG to take up the idea?  We own the
xml: namespace, and we aren't that busy these days.

Guest Post: Author Tara Mayoros

In the novel BROKEN SMILES, Laidan Swanson rises from ashes of sorrow to the top of the music billboard charts, only to find that her desire for fame is overshadowed by her desire to serve. She escapes her identity and flees to find the humanitarian doctor and the Chinese children depicted in a brochure that she came across in a hospital lobby.
While performing at the Grammys, the pressure from the music industry becomes too much for Laidan. She is quickly carried off the stage, leaving the world audience stunned and amazed by her emotional performance. Accompanying her are a trusted bodyguard and a close childhood friend. Together they make for the jungles of China where she meets Doctor Rafe Watkins, a humanitarian doctor who has reasons of his own for why he has chosen to live deep within the bamboo forests. The handsome doctor is building an orphanage and runs a clinic that fixes children’s broken smiles or cleft palets. Watching him perform his many acts of kind service, Laidan’s “broken smile” is also healing and she begins to fall deeply in love with him. She has finally found a place where she belongs. One problem – because of Rafe’s intentional seclusion from society for the past seven years, he does not know Laidan’s true identity. What will he do when he finds out? Can love conquer all, or is Laidan’s rock star fame too big for his quiet life?

Meet the author:
What inspired your book?
My book was inspired first by lyrics to a song I wrote. It came to me in a dream. My entire book and characters evolved from those song lyrics. Then of course, the time I spent in China was fuel for my story.
What is your favorite animal?
A horse! It is my spirit animal. I love taking personality tests and anytime I do a spirit animal test, it is always a horse. In my work in progress YA fantasy trilogy, Vagabond, I have a main character that is a horse.
What is your favorite part of writing?
My favorite part of writing is the escapism. It transports me into a different world and hours pass, days pass, before I surface. I also love the community of like minded individuals

  1. I have really enjoyed Julianne Donaldson's clean historical Romances. (I'm not even a historical romance fan!)
    Both Edenbrooke and Blackmore have been some of my favorite books. I encourage you to read them!

Legal iPads

by Karen Helde

At the February LLOPS meeting, Tina Ching, Sarah Griffith and I talked about our experiences with iPads in our organizations.  At that meeting,  I promised to post a list of the apps we discussed.  With apologies for the delay, here it is.

Fastcase – Access to state and federal cases and statutes via browsing, searching or citation.  Requires registering for an account, but it’s free.

Dragon Dictation – Easy-to-use voice recognition app that creates notes which can be edited, saved, emailed or copied into another application.

LawStack – Access to court rules, including the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, and Federal Rules of Evidence.

WestlawNext – Close to the full functionality of WestlawNext via the web, but with an iPad-friendly interface.  Requires a WestlawNext subscription.

HeinOnline – Uses Hein’s vast collection of law review articles, ABA journals, CFRs and more.  PDF content can be viewed within the app or opened in the iPad reader of your choice.   Requires HeinOnline subscription.

Evernote – A tool to save and organize websites, photos, lists, ideas, notes, etc.  Synchs across all devices, mobile or desktop.

iAnnotate – Read, annotate, organize and share PDF documents.  Syncs with ITunes or Dropbox.

Dropbox  – Store photos and documents in the cloud for access via mobile and desktop devices.

Lexis Advance – Run searches, Shepardize cases and add documents to synchronized folders.  Lexis Advance subscription required.

If you want to hear more about iPads and are attending AALL in Boston, I’ll be speaking at a Monday morning program called iCan! Empowering Librarians with iPads and Other Mobile Devices.

Great Ideas for March: 2011 LLOPS Workshop

By , March 29, 2011 10:08 am

by Erin Hoffrance

I had the opportunity to attend the 2011 LLOPS Professional Development Workshop held at the Seattle University School of Law Annex. And I have to say, what a great location! It was also the first time in two years that I was able to enjoy the program without the stress of being a member of the Professional Development Committee. The first session, Mining SEC Documents, was led by Elizabeth Osborne, who is very knowledgeable about the world of the SEC, filings, documents, etc. Her handout listed definitions of the most common SEC documents, and she discussed the types of information you can find within each type of document. This is truly great information for those reference requests I receive to research public companies. For instance, the 8-K has unusual events, so it might be beneficial to monitor those for any types of changes that occur between 10-K and 10-Q filings. The Workshop attendees had many questions for Elizabeth, and she answered them all quickly with her wealth of knowledge and handy tips. Continue reading 'Great Ideas for March: 2011 LLOPS Workshop'»
