The Hepeviridae comprise single-stranded positive-sense RNA viruses classified into two genera, Orthohepevirus and Piscihepevirus. Orthohepeviruses have a wide host range that includes rodents, but previous studies had been restricted to rodents of the Muridae family. In this study, we applied a high-throughput sequencing approach to examine the presence of orthohepeviruses in rodents from São Paulo State, Brazil. We also used RT-PCR to determine the frequency of orthohepeviruses in our sampled population. We identified novel orthohepeviruses in blood samples derived from Necromys lasiurus (1.19%) and Calomys tener (3.66%). Therefore, our results expand the host range and viral diversity of the Hepeviridae family.

Harvey Making Landfall
By Ryan Hanrahan	• Published at 8:14 pm on August 25, 2017
Harvey has been a humbling storm for tropical forecasters. Just 48 hours ago the forecast from the National Hurricane Center was for a strong tropical storm or minimal hurricane to make landfall just east of Corpus Christi. Tonight it appears clear Harvey will make landfall as a category 4 hurricane. We're not that good forecasting rapid intensification of hurricanes and Harvey is another example of that.

— Dan Lindsey (@DanLindsey77) August 25, 2017
The story tonight will be the wind and the storm surge. A deadly combination. This hurricane will likely be the first category 4 hurricane to make landfall in the United States since Hurricane Charley in 2004 and in Texas since Hurricane Carla in 1961.
If there's any positive news on a day where Harvey strengthened quickly it's that the worst of the storm will be in a fairly rural area. Not Houston, not Galveston, and not Corpus Christi. Matagorda Bay (no stranger to hurricanes - do a Google search on Indianola, Texas) will bear the brunt of the storm initally.
The WPC QPF now implies a state and national TC rainfall record is possible. Local maxima can be this times two. pic.twitter.com/B4vgzPLXLz
— David Roth (@DRmetwatch) August 24, 2017
Beyond tonight the story with Harvey will likely be the rain. In fact it's possible the inland rain and flooding may be more destructive and costly than the initial wind and storm surge. While the storm's intensity was not well forecast what hasn't changed over the past few days is the forecast for exceptional rainfall in Texas. Harvey is already slowing down and expected to stall near the coast. Days of rain will inundate Texas as the storm crawls along the coast.
Before everyone goes hunting for the highest model QPF, here's a history lesson on observed MAX rainfall from TCs (data by @DRmetwatch) pic.twitter.com/5nqesdtJkP
— Tony (@whatdoweseehere) August 23, 2017
So what are the state and national tropical cyclone rain records? 48.00" in Texas from Amelia in 1978. In Connecticut the record is 16.86" from Tropical Storm Diane (which cause the historic 1955 flood).

Transputers
Having both written a thesis at Bangor University, North wales on parallel processing back in the mid 80s and also developed a few production systems for the sonar industry using up to 40 of them in a pipelined architecture, I thought it would be good to remember a star of the 80s – the transputer.
Transputer Chips
Transputer Links
Array Structures
Introduced in the mid 1980s in the United Kingdom by a company called INMOS (which became SGS Thomson, then STMicroelectronics), the Transputer was a physical implementation of parallel programming method based on communicating sequential processes, or CSP. A new language called OCCAM was introduced which provided a number of simple parallel programming constructs that could be easily compiled to run on the Transputer, making the combination of the Transputer and OCCAM very easy to adopt and use in many embedded and super computing applications. The main attraction of the Transputer family was the ability to directly connect to other Transputers via a high speed serial link that was an integral part of the OCCAM programming language. Adopted by a number embedded image processing applications, the Transputer had a relatively short life as processors go with the last known iteration produced by ST Microelectronics, rebranded as the non-parallel version, ST20. The Transputer was a fun and novel architecture in its day and was able to take on a number of tasks in both commercial and military based applications that were previously implemented using either bit slice technology or custom processors. The architecture eventually died with the introduction of very high speed shared memory architectures that could move data back and forth between processors more quickly. However, with the introduction of high speed general purpose PCI express and Intel's upcoming Quickpath technology, there is a resurgence in interest in serial communications channels between processors, the heart of the Transputer architecture.
There were several Transputers in the family: the 16 bit processor based IMS T212, T222, T225 devices, the 32 bit IMS T414, T425 versions, and the 32 bit version with integrated floating point processor IMS T800, T801 and T805 devices. One application specific version, the M212 which included disk controller interfaces was also introduced at one point. What made the Transputer particularly unique in its day was the use of four integrated 10Mbps or 20Mbps serial links (or Transputer Links) that allowed an array or grid of Transputers to e asily communicate with one another. In addition, a 32 link crossbar switch was offered, the C004, that provided static switching off connected Transputers to allow for a programmable array topology.
The Transputer processor itself was either a 16 or 32 bit based CPU with only 16 directly executable op-codes defined, making it technically speaking a RISC microprocessor. The memory architecture consisted of fast on-chip RAM which was directly memory mapped (i.e. not a cache). The T805 for example had 4K bytes of on-chip memory. An external memory interface was a multiplexed address-data bus supporting DRAM memory via additional supporting components, along with any other direct memory mapped peripheral (e.g. a high speed I/O port, A/D convertor, etc).
There was no general purpose masked interrupt support. There was only a single "event" pin pair (event request and event acknowledge) that caused the Transputer to jump to a specific parallel execution process to handle the event.
Transputer Serial Links
The key element of the Transputer architecture was the seamless connectivity between processors and execution processes. A single instruction could be used to transfer data between parallel processes regardless if they were running on a single chip (performed as a block move) or individual processors connected via serial links which operated at speeds of up to 20Mbps in each direction. A built in on-chip scheduler would take care of the setup, transfer, synchronization and eventual completion of the communication between the two processors or processes. This made for a very efficient programming model, especially when using the native high level language OCCAM. Link adapters (CO11/CO12) were also introduced that converted the serial links to parallel I/O, allowing real-time conversion to the native serial link format required to talk to the Transputers without having to create a custom interface attached to an individual Transputer chip's memory bus. While useful to convert to serial links, in many of the early implementations however a memory mapped peripheral was typically used to increase system performance or to meet specific I/O speeds beyond that of a serial link (i.e. greater than 10 or 20Mbps).
One of the cool features of the Transputer architecture was the ability to "boot from link". This was a hardware selectable pin on the Transputer chip that caused it to boot off an internal microcode instruction set that initialized the chip, then waited for incoming data on any of its 4 links to load into memory then execute. Those familiar with the Transputer will remember the famous "worm program" that would be loaded onto an array of Transputers for the purposes of discovering how they were all connected, the processor type (T4, T8, etc) and so on. Typically, the boot from link was used to load a bootstrap loader program which funneled the applications processors through the array to the target Transputer, before loading it's own program and executing. This allowed for a very flexible and programmable architecture, especially when the links were connected via the INMOS C004 switch device (a 32 port Transputer Link static switching device).
Support for Parallelism
The Transputer had an integrated microcoded scheduler on-chip which meant that there was no software based kernel or multi-threading employed. Tasks were simply scheduled and the Transputer's built in engine handled the context switching between any number of given tasks. In addition, there were two priority levels assignable to a parallel task or process, high and low. Simplistic, and sometimes limiting, but good enough for the majority of embedded applications the Transputer was considered for. The important aspect of this simplistic and hardware based approach to scheduling is that an inactive process never consumed any processor time whatsoever.
Individual Transputers were often connected in a pipeline architecture or simple distributed array as shown. In the early years, the pipeline became the most popular approach as it allowed a single group of parallel processes to be simply replicated using the powerful OCCAM PLACED PAR i=0 FOR N (N= total number of processors) statement. Bit mapped graphics pixel processing liked this approach as the same program handle different parts of the overall graphics display much like an NVIDIA SLI or ATI Crossfire solution works today by diving up the screen into different parts. The often demonstrated Mandelbrot program are the common users of this architecture. The distributed array model is harder to program and load balance and was used less often. Of course, each application potentially demanded a different connectivity model or array configuration which is what drove the introduction of the INMOS C004 static configuration switch. This allowed for most architectures to be setup via an independent control processor.
OCCAM was the initial preferred programming model for Transputers with native support for the communication links along with some basic primitives to support parallel processes. Statements or constructs that made it very different for example were SEQ (execute the following in sequential order), PAR (execute the following processes in parallel) and the link or channel input/output commands using the ? and ! operators e.g. output_channel ! x outputs the value x to the link, while input_channel ? y receives a value from the link and assigns it to variable y. Some other concepts, such as alternation using the ALT command also made it possible to choose two alternative actions or processes depending on say which of two input channels receives data.

Black Lives Matter Terrorizes Mall Of America, Force Lockdown; But They Didn't Stop There
Management at Mall of America in Minneapolis, the largest mall in the country, attempted to secure a restraining order to prevent a planned #BlackLivesMatter protest from happening. Last year, the agitators forced early closure of the mall, on their busiest shopping day of the season, by flooding the mall with thousands of people, harassing shoppers, and chanting loudly.
A judge did bar three of the organizers from going to the mall for the protest, but said she does not have the power to block the entire event.
So, the protest in the name of 24 year old Jamar Clark who died after being shot by police in Minneapolis last month. In order to prevent the security issues they dealt with last year, Mall of America increased security for the mall in order and now have the mall on lockdown.
The protest was scheduled to take place at 1:30 pm in the east rotunda area. The Mall of America put the following message up on display in that area.
This demonstration is not authorized and is in clear violation of Mall of America policies. All participants must leave Mall of America property immediately, which includes leaving all Mall of America interior roadways and parking ramps. Those who fail to leave the property immediately will be subject to arrests."
Management contend that the mall is private property and, therefore, they can block the protest from taking place on their premises.
Protesters began flooding the light rail area and, when police attempted to prevent them from leaving the train, the forced their way out. They were also chanting, "No justice, no peace, prosecute the police."

Customers are being asked to shelter in place by finding a safe area inside one of the stores which are all shutting their doors. In addition, light rail service to the mall has been suspended.
The terrorist 'protesters' praised themselves for shutting down the mall, a selfish and dangerous move that jeopardizes the livelihood of business owners and workers, in addition to holding everyone hostage with the need for the mall to go in lockdown mode over security issues.

minami-ke ~okawari~, it's become dangerous after all
"so kazumi, teach me!"
Categories: anime, shakugan no shana
Tagged: shakugan no shana
Ms. Wang Shana…
… melonpan…
… "How do I make a baby?"
I'm steppin' in.
See, if Yoshida were a bit more like her evil self from the Shana-tan specials, she would have tried to get Shana knocked up and thusly ruined for marriage. That's one way to answer Shana's question.
Of course, there's always the demonstration route.
Wouldn't it have been funny if Shana had asked Wilhelmina how babies are made before she told her that she was going to confess to Yuji? I wonder what Wilhelmina's response would have been?
(Funniest possible response? "Why, I don't know either.")
When Yuji and his dad were on the bridge, I was trying to guess what he wanted to tell Yuji. I was leaning towards, "I'm not really your father," but once he told Yuji that he wanted to work the "3" in the name, I knew it was a double bomb that Yuji was the second child. Though wasn't his dad just back like four or five episodes ago? He and Chigusa must have gone at it like rabbits… then again, I can't blame him for that, can I?
Oh gawd, Sunrise Syndrome.
Poor Ike… ouch… ouch… and ouch some more.
Enjoyed the montage of Shana and Yoshida as they prep for confessing to Yuji (again). If only they put this much effort into fighting the Tomogara… "Hey look, Bal Masqué is plotting something evil… maybe we should plan a trap or countermeasure or work on spellcasting… nah, I'm going to pick out cute stationary!" I'm damn sure Sumeragi had a similar conversation in her head between shopping for new swimsuits or working on tactical formations for the Meisters.
When I saw the scene of an utterly overmatched Yuji trying to decide on Shana or Yoshida, I was thinking, "Well, in real life he'll have to make a choice or turn Mormon. In anime, Hecate will bail him out." 20 seconds later? Banzai!
From "iz dat sum caramelldansen?"…
Myssa Rei: It's funny, since Yuuji has always been perceptive, but only with regards to the world that Flame Hazes and Tomogara; with relationships, he's completely clueless.
I think 99% of men are like this. I know a lot of really bright programmers and lawyers, but they're absolutely clueless when it comes to women. But I think as an outsider looking in, it's easier to evaluate than someone in a messed-up relationship. I'm convinced that being in love lowers a man's IQ by at least 20 points. Some… significantly more… (see -cakes, Mako.)
Haesslich: Yes, they're worse – at least Keiichi and Belldandy have admitted their love, and are secure in it… even if they choose not to take it a few more steps beyond where they have; they made that choice consciously. Yuuji, on the other hand, has about as much perceptiveness as one of Keiichi's wrenches, and is almost as blind AND dumb.
You're right Haess. Belldandy and Keiichi at least admitted to each other fairly early on (I even kept count on my old website) whereas Shana and Yuji… if it takes 200 pages a book at 16 books… well… that's 3,200 pages. Keep in mind that War and Peace is only about half that. 3,200 pages to kinda tell a story… Shana's the direct opposite of something like Children of Hurin that takes like 200 pages to tell a story that needed significantly more.
Lestaki : Yuji working out Sabrac so easily is kinda dubious, though. His precedecessor, Johann the genius, Wilhemina- who's no slacker in terms of brains- and Pheles- who admittedly probably is- were chased by this guy for however long without working him out. Am I really supposed to believe Yuji the nub can come to a revelation that somehow eluded them?
I'm willing to believe it because Yuji isn't really in love with Shana or Yoshida, which means he has full use of his brain. Johan, because of how love-love he was with Pheles, I'd say was down at least 30 IQ points. As for Wilhelmina and Pheles… well… keep in mind there's a really, really good chance Wilhelmina doesn't know how babies are made either.

I'm sure Wilhelmina could teach Shana easily, I mean the way she handles those bandages, they could be used for anything!
On another note that scene in Mnemosyne was just as funny as this episode to me for some reason.
18 Mar 2008 at 1:29:58 AM Myssa Rei
Jason: Actually there's a fan-joke running around that the reason that Yuuji's dad wasn't around a lot was because he was really Sabrac (can't blame them, given how messed up Kantarou's hair was… plus Sabrac's awesome first impression… now where was that screenie comparison). Though, that really doesn't explain how semi-useless Yuuji was in the first season now, does it? ;)
As for the novel lengths, well, each of the Shana books are anywhere from 60 to 130 pages in length, and they're not all text (as light novels, they have illustrations too). Plus, the some books didn't focus on the main 'plot' at all, and dealt with stuff you'd expect from Fumoffu or the Haruhi side-stories (Day of Saggitarius, Mysterique Sign), and some actually focused on flashbacks (book 15 is an example). That aside, it's STILL amazing how Shana and Yuuji have danced around the love-love issue.
Tsk, work must have worn me out more than expected, I forgot to point out that Hecate popping up where Yuuji was (at the crossroads of destiny, as it were) seemed oddly appropriate, since the Greek Goddess Hecate was also the Goddess of Crossroads. Doom or Safety, Loli or Busty? Yuuji just doesn't have any luck, does he?

I thought about that also but later it came to mind that his father may be Flame Haze or King of Guze. xD

You know as soon as I watched that "how do I make babies?" scene (and after I had a major LOL session) I knew you would have a field day with this, and kept checking to see if you make a post on this. My intuition was RIGHT!!
But I must say, J.C. STAFF, you blew it!!!!! They have just passed on probably the closest door to a Yuji x Shana x Yoshida ending. I'm with you on the "Demonstration" route, which would have unraveled possible emotions between the two, and still throw in their affection for Yuji. I sense a formula of WIN! You know I want to see a special feature that comes out with the DVD on "How Yoshida taught Shana to make babies (Uncensored)", I can already tell you, SOLD!!
18 Mar 2008 at 4:49:30 PM Megavolt
You'd think that Shana and Yoshida getting so close would mean they'd have no problem sharing Yuji. Instead they decide to pull this crap. :(
18 Mar 2008 at 4:52:43 PM Northernshadows
Hm, seeing Hecate put up the barrier once again reminded me. Have they, in the novels, ever tried to even marginally explain their nature? As they are, they're paradoxal. Time stops inside yet flows outside, leading to observable disparity by those caught inside – especially if they are stuck for, say half a day. And what do mortals who cannot observe the barrier see when they look from outside in? Not to mention digital equipment, like surveillance cameras that get frozen in time.
And what did Yuji think about his father's story? After all the original Yuji is dead too, him being the torch put in as a temporary (without the reiji maigo – oops he just lost it) replacement.
Hecate popping in and grabbing the reiji maigo was rather… anticlimatic. I did wonder a bit why she didn't take it, say back in episode one. I realize their plan didn't require it until now, but if they are counting on not being able to stop the flame hazes that come to get it back, shouldn't it be wiser to just close up shop and stop pretending to be an evil overlord?
18 Mar 2008 at 6:59:14 PM Myssa Rei
Northernshadows: The Barrier that Hecate set up isn't a jizaihou at all, but something else entirely. I can't remember the term, but it's basically a Flame Haze deterrent — it keeps the Flame Hazes from getting to whatever it is inside the barrier.
As for the paradoxical nature of the Jizaihou themselves, it's kind if like what you might expect from a Void Incarnate (an Epic-Level rogue prestige class) — people unconsciously avoid/ignore the area where the jizaihou is set up, and pass the experience off as dejavu. The effect on electronic methods of observation is never really explained, but one would assume that some sort of distortion happens (that can also be conveniently passed off as system failure).
As for the folks inside, well, that's a wee bit harder.
18 Mar 2008 at 7:09:35 PM Haesslich
Myssa: I think Yuuji was almost praying for something like that to show up, the way things were going. First they were ganging up on him over the Konoe thing… and now they're ganging up on him to make him admit he likes one of them… and in reality he doesn't seem to feel that way about anything yet, being severely underdeveloped emotionally and mentally.
And now Hecate sucks the Reigo Maji out of him… and shows she can pull almost anything out– why are you all looking at me like that? She DID.
18 Mar 2008 at 7:28:47 PM kaze
ano… what's that one screen shot form? the demonstration one…
18 Mar 2008 at 8:56:44 PM Dirian
I for one think they should both kick Yuji's stupid ass to the curve and head straight to the Yoshida x Shana ending that would instantly defeat all their enemies by virtue of it's awesomeness.
Vote Yoshida x Shana YES WE CAN!

>>You know I want to see a special feature that comes out with the DVD on "How Yoshida taught Shana to make babies (Uncensored)", I can already tell you, SOLD!!
More realistically, I want to see them make a joke about this in Shana-tan.
19 Mar 2008 at 10:17:29 AM Northernshadows
Perhaps there is amounts of malleability to reality in Shanaverse. We already know it has self-correcting mechanisms, for example when a torch finally burns out. People who are familiar with White Wolf's Mage RPG should understand what I'm trying to get at. Extreme amounts of self-correction, to the point of retrofixing mortals into making different choices in the past, could neatly explain why nobody is raising a fuss about various anomalies that are popping up.

Completely unrelated to Shana (well, 99% anyway) but I felt obligated to post it (despite the fact that there'd be a different voice cast for the eventual US release anyway): Persona 4 has been announced and will be out in Japan in July, trailer here. The voice cast includes Yui Horie, Showtaro Morikubo, Maeda Ai, Paku Romi, Oohara Sayaka, Kugimiya Rie, Kanda Akemi, and Koshimizu Ami.
After how fantastic Persona 3 was, I'm excited! :D
>> Persona 4
Nice. I can't understand what they are saying there, but by the looks of it P4 retains a lot from P3. Which is good, since I wrote P3 a glowing review due to its features. It looks like they've dropped the use of the evoker… which is good, since instead of making anything out of it, P3 was content just to use it as a gimmick.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy, HbA1c, Motor neuropathy, Sensory neuropathy, Type-2 diabetes
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most common long-term microvascular complications of diabetes. This study was undertaken to investigate the association of HbA1c variability with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (sensory and motor) in patients with type-2 diabetes. In this study, a total of 150 type-2 diabetic patients were screened for DPN and undergone quarterly HbA1c measurements during the year preceding enrolment were recruited. DPN was confirmed in patients displaying both clinical manifestations of neuropathy and neurological abnormalities assessment. Among the recruited patients, 24% were found to have DPN (sensory and motor), and these patients also presented with a higher HbA1c as compared to the patients without DPN (p<0.05). In addition, the advanced age and longer duration of diabetes were important and significant (p<0.05) risk factors for peripheral neuropathy. Overall study suggests that increased HbA1c level is strongly associated with DPN (sensory and motor) in type-2 diabetic patients and could be considered as a potent indicator for DPN in the recruited patients.

THAT TOUCH OF MINK (director: Delbert Mann; screenwriters: Stanley Shapiro/Nate Monaster; cinematographer: Russell Metty; editor: Ted J. Kent; music: George Duning; cast: (Cary Grant (Philip Shayne), Doris Day (Cathy Timberlake), Gig Young (Roger), Audrey Meadows (Connie), Alan Hewitt (Dr. Gruber), John Astin (Beasley), Richard Sargent (Harry Clark), Roger Maris (Himself), Mickey Mantle (Himself), Yogi Berra (Himself); Runtime: 99; MPAA Rating: NR; producers: Martin Melcher/Stanley Shapiro; Universal-International; 1962)
"A cutesy boy meets girl romantic comedy flatly directed by Delbert Mann."
A cutesy boy meets girl romantic comedy flatly directed by Delbert Mann ("Lover Come Back") and thinly written by Stanley Shapiro and Nate Monaster. It has single Manhattanite Cathy Timberlake (Doris Day) while on the sidewalk get splashed with mud by the passing limousine belonging to bachelor tycoon Philip Shayne (Cary Grant). When from his office building Philip spots Cathy entering an Automat, he sends his 'in therapy,' guilt-ridden over giving up Princeton to become rich, financial adviser Roger (Gig Young) to apologize and pay for damages to her coat. Roger talks Cathy into demanding an apology in person from the tycoon. But her anger is soothed by the sight of the handsome Philip and he charms the unemployed computer operator gal to miss her job interview to go on his private jet to close a business deal in Baltimore, where he takes her along as a good luck charm. They then jet to a Philadelphia Italian restaurant for fettuccine, back to Manhattan where the globe-trotting businessman delivers a talk on economics and finally to Yankee Stadium to sit in the dugout with NY Yankee stars Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris and Yogi Berra. All the time Cathy keeps phoning her roommate Connie (Audrey Meadows) that the worldly sophisticate is not a wolf like the other men the country girl met while in the city shopping around for a hubby, but Connie is not convinced and thinks he might be more dangerous. Philip's platonic attitude changes and he invites the marriage-minded gal to Bermuda, and hires a commercial plane just for them and provides her with a lavish new wardrobe that includes a mink coat. In Bermuda, Cathy has second thoughts and breaks out from nerves with a skin rash and cancels a date, leaving Philip to spend the night playing gin rummy with another frustrated male. When Cathy tries a second time the next evening and takes to drinking to get up enough courage, she falls from the balcony when tipsy. An upset Philip returns to New York and forgets about Cathy. But Roger plays cupid and arranges for her to go to a motel with the lecherous Mr. Beasley, an unemployment clerk who was after Cathy for some time. Roger then gets Philip to follow her knowing he will rescue the fair maiden from the lecher. After Philip rescues Cathy, on an impulse he proposes marriage. The couple honeymoon in Bermuda, but Philip breaks out in a skin rash when he suddenly realizes he's married.
Day was thirty-eight years old at the time and her virgin act seemed disingenuous, at best. Also, there wasn't a great chemistry between the two stars. At least, on Grant's part; he seemed too distant to be attracted to Day. The sitcom routine was insipid and the comedy was hard to find despite a lot of effort by the thesps.
REVIEWED ON 12/30/2006 GRADE: C+


I. The Call that is Declared - In the first reading God says to Jeremiah (and to us): The word of the LORD came to me, saying: Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I dedicated you, a prophet to the nations I appointed you. But do you gird your loins; stand up and tell them all that I command you.
The Prevenient nature of our Call - The word "prevenient" is an adjective describing something that comes before, something that is anticipatory. God has not chosen us on a whim, as if to say, "I suppose you'll do." Before He made us, He considered our call and then equipped, empowered, and enabled us for our work.
The Preparation of our Call - The Lord tells Jeremiah (and us) to "gird our loins." This is an ancient way of saying, "roll up your sleeves." In other words, prepare to work by assembling what you need and getting ready to expend effort.
The Prescription of our Call - The text says, "[T]ell them all that I command you." In other words, leave nothing out; proclaim the whole counsel of God. Don't just proclaim what appeals to you or agrees with your politics and worldview. Don't just say what is popular or agrees with worldly thinking. Tell them the whole message, in season or out of season.
Strong - A prophet needs to be strong, for people are stubborn and hesitant to change. Indeed, we are collectively a stiff-necked people; we have necks of iron and foreheads of brass. We are thick-headed, willful, and obdurate. A prophet must be willing to endure a lot to move the ball even a few inches. If you don't think we're a hard case, look at the cross and see what it took to save us. Prophets need strength and persistence.
Supporting - A prophet is called "a pillar of iron." That is, he is to lend support to a crumbling nation and culture. Whether our culture likes to admit it or not, it is crumbling and collapsing. If it is to stand any chance at all, we must be willing to be pillars of iron, calling this culture back to modesty, decency, chastity, self-control, maturity, obedience to God, and generosity to the poor. Otherwise, everything is destined for ruin.
Sanctifying - Jeremiah is told that the priests, kings, and princes have all been corrupted and that he must speak the truth to them and summon them to repentance.
III. The Conclusion that is Determined - The text says, They will fight against you but not prevail over you, for I am with you to deliver you, says the LORD.

Q: How to update same row multiple times with SQL I have the following information in SAM_Updates table
37-529-1    1
13793-1 1
42086-1 1
13793-1 1

I am running this query to update the quantity value in a another table (Parts) where the custom labels match.
update Parts
set Parts.Quantity = cast(cast(Parts.quantity as int) -
cast(SAMS_Updates.quantity as int) as varchar(100))
from SAMS_Updates
where Parts.SAMS_Custom_Label = SAMS_Updates.Custom_Label

The problem I am running into is with the value 13793. It is only updating subtracting one from the quantity. I want it to end up subtracting two because there are two separate rows.
Any idea why this is happening? I am using SQL Server express.

A: You can use a join to a subquery that aggregates the Quantity in SAM_Updates:
update p
  set p.Quantity = p.Quantity - su.Quantity
from parts p
  inner join (
    select Custom_Label, sum(cast(Quantity as int)) as Quantity
    from SAMS_Updates
    group by Custom_Label
    ) su
    on p.SAMS_Custom_Label = su.Custom_Label

rextester demo: http://rextester.com/RTUE81736
Assuming each part had 10 Quantity prior to the update, this returns:
+-------------------+----------+
| SAMS_Custom_Label | Quantity |
+-------------------+----------+
| 37-529-1          |        9 |
| 13793-1           |        8 |
| 42086-1           |        9 |
+-------------------+----------+

A: This is one of the exceptional cases where an Iterative Solution is recommended over a Set-Based Solution.  This means making use of the (in most cases inadvisable) Cursor operation to apply modifications one row at a time.  The set-based method to data modification will execute in distinct phases and the new intended value for a record cannot be referenced until after the entire set has completed updating when the statement block execution finishes.
While a sub-query containing an aggregated Quantity grouped over each Part will achieve the basic task performing a modification to the Parts inventory quantities, it doesn't allow for ensuring each of the data-driven updates has completed and won't be reapplied on a subsequent execution of the Parts inventory update process.
However, be aware that using a Cursor may require additional considerations to tune the query appropriately to mitigate the potential performance impact caused by its associated higher overhead.
The following codes outlines how a SQL Cursor can be used to update the same row multiple times:
/*Create Base Tables*/
    /*Parts Table*/
        /*Create Table*/
            drop table if exists #parts

Currently there is a virus of great importance and worldwide impact called coronavirus. It consists of a "common flu" but with respiratory difficulties which brings death. Having very severe acute respiratory syndrome.
Its acronym is SARS and on the other hand the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). In the year 2019, this condition caused an outbreak of disease in China, this disease is called coronavirus 2019 or COVID-19.
China reported about 27 cases of pneumonia of unknown origin on December 31, 2019, and the main cause was identified on January 7 as a coronavirus.
The virus has affected more than 2,800 people in China and the number of infected people is now over 78,000. According to the National Health Commission of China, the vast majority of cases have been reported in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province, where the outbreak of the infection is taking place.
Other major cities such as Shanghai, Tanjin, Guangdong and Beijing have declared a total health emergency. This is the largest state of emergency on record in recent times.
In such a point that the world health organization has communicated with the different governments and preparing the population to be alert by the different possible means for what is foreseen as the potential pandemic on a large scale.
The Covid-19 in other countries
Beyond the borders of China, it has been recorded that in South Korea is positioned as the second country, having 12 dead. Already recorded and among the 1,000 contagions.
On the other hand, in Italy the number of deaths is around 17 people caused by this virus, and those infected so far is 655, the vast majority of them when this disease seemed to decrease.
This has been the possibility that they have obtained great containment measures on this disease with more ambition, agility and with a large and aggressive history, the Canadian epidemiologist Bruce Aylwar has used the word "pandemic" now this can not be adjusted to the facts, but this can cause different fears among the population.
The focus should be on primary containment while doing everything possible to obtain and prepare for the potential of the pandemic. They had a press conference called Tedros Adhonm Ghebreyesus, this is the director general of the institution that specializes in political management that goes in search of prevention and intervention of global health.

David Bowie: The Forgotten Trilogy
By Jokermatt on March 10, 2013 • ( 8 Comments )
As The Next Day is released, a look back at one-named little wonders: Hours, Heathen and Reality
FIRST THINGS FIRST: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FORGOTTEN TRILOGY IN DAVID BOWIE'S BACK CATALOGUE, THERE AREN'T EVEN MANY THINGS RESEMBLING A TRILOGY. Of the most famous, the sublime 'Berlin trilogy' of Low, Heroes and Lodger, only Heroes was completely written, recorded and mixed in Berlin.
But that album, relatively shorn of a persona, may well be the most famous, the most influential, the most definitive Bowie album. So much so, it's no surprise that Bowie's first album in a decade, released this week, modifies/obscures the cover of that 1977 album. It makes even more sense considering the album's first single clearly harked back to those Berlin days. There is no doubt that much has happened in the intervening 36 years but Bowie would never again match his 1970s work rate – a period that once made him wonder if he had 'overachieved'.
So, the forgotten trilogy? A trilogy out of nothing. But it just so happens that the first review I read of Bowie's new album The Next Day remarked that it was his best album since 1. Outside. A strange claim in the normal mix of things, but framed in the classic Bowie critique it's as good as comparison as any; referring back to an abstract point in his back catalogue that has no doubt improved with age. Legendarily, every album following Bowie's commercial success, but critical slide, with Let's Dance was declared 'the best thing he's done since Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)'. In this review it was 1.Outside – not a bad album – but when fairly bundled with the following Earthling, it manages to totally exclude Bowie's late 1990s and early 2000s work. Rather harshly in fact.
While Bowie albums are rarely one genre, they tend to be described by their predominant genre – Young Americans may be soul while Earthling is drum 'n' bass. But between Earthling and 2003, when Bowie started his 10 year break, he actually released three albums. The assumption is that these may not be so easily recognisable as his previous work, potentially even forgettable and so lend themselves to be conveniently written out of history. It's always harsh. By making a trilogy out of them, I myself am conveniently writing out the 2001 All Saints album of collected instrumentals.
So it's unfair but convenient to wrap the three albums up as the forgotten trilogy – a wonderful jumble of nostalgia and retrospective with I'd say more than one classic Bowie song between them.
Hours: The Last of the Dreamers
Hours surfaced in 1999, and may be my most listened to Bowie album simply by dint of it hitting my first year at University, and fresh into my discovery of Bowie/post-Art School haze.
Hours' opening track, Thursday's Child, sets the tone of reminiscence, with rather haunting backing vocals from Holly Palmer pushing up to a duet at points. It's subdued but effective, no doubt a side-effect from its origin, as with much of the album, as a soundtrack for the video game Omikron: Nomad Soul. A neat throwback to Bowie's recent closeness to touring partners Nine Inch Nails, contributors to games such as Quake, videogames seemed a perfect step for Bowie. In the previous two years Bowie had refinanced his back catalogue and issued Bowie Bonds while diversifying on the web and now he was forging forward with videogames. Bowie had always, unsurprisingly, been tech-savvy – reportedly sending his first email in the early 1980s – and games were a neat fit, Tony least culturally. Not only that, Hours was the first album to be released in its entirety as a download before its physical release. "Thursday's Child has far to go" but is still ahead of the curve.
Of course, the result had to be a little obtuse. Rejecting his recent working methods of sprint writing and recording, Bowie alongside guitarist, former Tin Machiner Reeves Gabrels, settled in Bermuda to write the album. The result was, despite its brilliantly crazy cover and trend setting technology, Bowie's most straightforward album for a long time.
Second track Something in the Air harks back to its revolutionary namesake in name alone, although the reference is not lost. As with much of the first half of Hours, Bowie talks from the past and present about what may be a past or fading love affair or metaphor for any facet of his career. Where he has danced too long, he may be referring to his endless attempts to reconnect and win new fans, now or at any point of his career. "I guess I never wanted anyone more than you". In the later songs, he seems to be calling to his muses, particularly in second single Survive. "Where's the morning (sic) in my life?" he asks. "I've got ears and eyes but nothing in my life" – the muse may be gone… Or she or his critics remain with their naked eyes on him. Bowie recalls razzle-dazzle clubs every night while wishing he sent a valentine – but to who?
The result is rather melancholy first half, culminating in Bowie asking if he's Dreaming all his Life – grasping at the memory of his muse; asking if it was "air she breathed".
By What's Really Happening, grunge had replaced the romantic softness of the earlier songs, but the questions haven't stopped. A song later Bowie returns to the Pretty Things, this time stating that they're going to hell – which just might be one of the best titled songs in his career – but this time there's an edge of mistrust and deceit, a far cry from the revolutionary mock-chastisement of the song's 1971 near namesake. The riff of Pretty Things Are Going To Hell is glorious while Bowie starts to provide a few answers: "I am the blood in the corner of your eye" indeed. Prolonged instrumental intros soon take a turn for the Heroes, and when Bowie surfaces he sings about the Angels of Promise once again, this time in discordant chorus. Brilliant Adventure then delves into the orient, a long held interest surfacing again while drawing up memories of his previous Fantastic Voyage and other Berlin work. But this is not the Bowie of the 1970s. Where he had once blurred 'Lennon' and 'Lenin', Bowie now muddles 'shallow' and 'shadow' In Hour's TS Eliot inspired climax; upbeat music and downbeat lyrics.
Bowie's reasons for such a retrospective at this point remains unclear, but this Bowie is by no means passive. While 27 years earlier, he sang of five years to live he now speaks of Seven Days. Seven is a key number linked to the spirituality that the album is steeped in, helped along by the auto tuning, the light synth hangovers and Gabrels guitar from his previous two albums. It's better sculpted and more unified than other albums a decade either side, but in the Bowie universe that can equate to bland. This album was the first of Bowie's since 1972 not to breach the US top 40, but its significance was to be more obvious in the following years – notwithstanding several reissues.
Of course the clue was not only in the name of Hours, but also its cover. Among pastel geometric shapes, Hours era Bowie cradles a possibly dead Earthling era Bowie in homage to La Pieta. Bowie had transformed once again, but had he properly disposed of the retrospection?
Heathen: Have I stared Too Long?
No, clearly not. Perhaps Hours wasn't long enough, perhaps not hard enough – but within three years he returned with a new album of retrospection. This is a good thing, because out of a tumultuous few years, Heathen emerged magnificent. The intervening time saw the commencement and then abandonment of the Toys album, his self-proclaimed Pin-Ups II. The resulting fall out with his studio, perhaps led to Heathen's harder edge. But probably more key was that Bowie had fallen back in with Tony Visconti. Not only the producer of the "last good Bowie album" Scary Monsters but involved in much of his legendary 1970s work. Work on Heathen had also started in the same studios as Philip Glass had used to record his versions of Bowie's Berlin masterpieces in the early 1990s – an auspicious start. Clearly Bowie was intent on harnessing the past, much as he would again 13 years later. "Out in space, it's always 1982" he sings in Slip Away.
Surrounded by the religiously, gothic, Walkeresque parenthesis, Heathen's body is an outstanding run of songs.
Just as Bowie had stepped in to help his heroes earlier in his career, so he reasoned in the early 2000s that in times of trouble he would look at his peers and inspirations. If that's true, Heathen really is an example of greatness coming from adversity. This is Bowie at one of his most collaborative, with alumni of The Who, Nirvana and King Crimson making guest appearances. Perhaps as an extension of Toy, Heathen contains three covers, a scintillating version of the Pixie's Cactus, the Legendary Stardust Cowboy's I Took a Trip on a Gemini Spacecraft – which returned Bowie to space in a well-fitting spacesuit – and a cover of Neil Young's I've Been Waiting for You with Dave Grohl blistering on guitar. The departed were present as well. Afraid, is a twisted and rippingly great riposte to Lennon's God. Bowie was still competing even if he felt too old to appear in a video.
Bowie is still paranoid, perhaps even more so, but also angrier about impending old age and the inevitability that it would take from him his newly found familial stability. By Everybody Says Hi – a throwaway, but sweet song – he's seemingly at dotage. Even if a song later he's demanding a better future, backed by a Christmas tinkling. There is no doubt about Heathen's depth. "From factory to field how many tears must fall. Down there below… Nothing is moving"
Far more atheist than the agnostic Hours, Heathen still raises more questions than answers. Far removed from the glam or literature of his past, the album builds perfectly to its sublime close, Heathen (The Rays). A simple lament, and one of Bowie's best. Were that something agnostic could be beautiful, for this would be a prime example.
The overall result is an album every bit as good as it's artwork –one of his best covers. The quality and tone is such that it's no coincidence Bowie chose to duet Heathen with Low at point of the album tour. It's that good an album, let alone a companion piece. Hours had shown the effect of Bowie's mastery of drum loops and drum 'n' bass, but here they reach a new maturity – kept in check by someone in full control, with a deeper, more visceral and atavistic argument than Hours' sometimes obscure spirituality. Partially aided by the failure of Toy, which allowed some songs additional time to grow, most thanks must go to the newly re-fostered relationship of Visconti and Bowie. They again crafted one of Bowie's best.
Responding to the obvious questions about its contempraneity, Bowie replied that many of his albums could have been seen as reflective to an event like 9/11. It's true that the album was recorded before the terrorist attacks in Bowie's adopted hometown, but certainly provides a deeper spiritual experience than its immediate predecessors. New York and a change in his attitude to promotion would surface a short time later.
Reality: Back where I started from…
Pounding back on a schedule, Bowie resurfaced just a year later with 2003's Reality. After little fanfare for Heathen but a fair tour with what he proclaimed to be his strongest ever band – Reality was a return to the stadiums. It had been a while. As the title suggested, this was Bowie at possibly his most straightforward. Alas, it would be a stadium album for a stadium tour that would finish him off for ten years. I saw him at the start of the tour, then near the end. In Birmingham he was blinding, wheeling out the lovely Days was a nice and unexpected touch – but by the Isle of Wight, I was surely suffering Bowie fatigue. That is not to say it wasn't stupendous – he even wheeled out the full Station to Station. Suitably amazing, but weeks before he had to call time on his biggest tour for years.
A cartoon Bowie adorns the cover of Reality, not the religious heretic of the earlier album nor the old Bowie crossed out 10 years later on The Next Day. Anime Bowie was the figurehead of a more powerful live rock. Some of the ambiguity found in Hours was fading, Bowie even suggested that Reality was a "sense of New York". This was his true response to 9/11 (most notable in the stinging Fall Dogs Bombs the Moon) and he was taking it out on the road. Big time.
The songs were accessible, the lyrics retaining a tension after Heathen. Words mangled in this new world, from its blistering opening New Killer Star through to covers that were again cunningly chosen.
At the time Bowie was wisely cherry picking his back catalogue. The start of the century had seen him as long haired as Hunky Dory, with a suitably elaborate coat. Now the hair was styled and foppish, the clothing more regular, as he wheeled out Rebel Rebel as his universal anthem. He even released it on an album bonus disk alongside Queen Bitch. The 1970s were writ large, but he was no slave to them. While his covers were less, they were carefully selected. I remember a critic at the time wishing that Bowie would end his extended Pin Ups project. However, in Reality as in Heathen they're seamless. In the latter, The Modern Lover's Pablo Picasso sets a simple statement while recalling Bowie's own Andy Warhol on Hunky Dory in spirit. It sets the New York tone intended. Later on, Bowie picks up the 'All things must pass' lyric at the end of Heathen, by covering George Harrison's Try Some, Buy Some. And a rather marvellous waltz it is too.
Never Get Old – the theme to that Vittel advert, surely has one of the most simplistic bass scales ever heard in a Bowie song, but then it's straightforward shouty pop. Looking for Water recalls the thumping rhythm lines of his 1970's work, including Boys Keep Swinging, whilst retaining Reality's general discordance. Two great middle-eights set this album for me, the lament on the brilliantly understated Days – the more Hours-like song on the album, if not in production terms – and then that of the title track, a blistering and stadium rock tune full of references to bowie past.
If Bowie remained spiritually agnostic to a point from Hours running into Heathen, here Bowie seems to be testing his own grit and direction. At points he is introverted , possibly verging on actually being that Loneliest Guy or singing the haunting avant-garde closing track for eternity. In terms of this, diversifying the tunes and sending the show out on the road seemed a fair response. Defaulting to the dark as standard throughout his career, recent new parenthood may have affected Him, but he has said before that he generally approaches similar subjects from different angles throughout all his albums. Reality was another example. Alas it was to end sourly, but still after 10 years away from the studio, there was to be The Next Day…


This weekend on the track at Monza race track many races. Among all the Renault ALPS 2.0 is the master, bringing on track a number of outstanding young talent, definitely projected towards a bright future in motorsport. In addition to Formula Renault on track even Porsche, Lotus, Clio RS and many others, for a weekend without a breather.

I had the opportunity recently to take a trip through the Texas Hill Country and photograph the fall colors. My folks agreed to watch the kiddos, so my wife and I packed our bags and headed out the door. We had a few interesting experiences, but I'll get to that in a bit.
My plans were a bit unresolved until the morning we decided to depart. We had reservations at a bed and breakfast near Vanderpool but the weather appeared a bit iffy, but we finally headed out. However, just before that we got a call from our said bed and breakfast indicating they had double-booked us, and because we had booked after the other folks, we were to be bumped. They offered another option – 30 minutes further from our desired location, no breakfast, and more expensive. Say what? So I kindly said no thanks after expressing my displeasure at this turn of events, and I hopped online, figuring it would be easy to find another option.
Did you know the Hill Country is full of tourists in November? I did not. But after surfing through some options, we settled on a little cabin near Leakey, Texas – close to two of our destinations. So we headed out – finally.
First stop – Lost Maples State Park. A few days in Lost Maples – on a weekday – can be a wonderful thing. On the weekend when cars line up for hours to enter – not so much. Luckily, we hit the park during the week and enjoyed the solitude such beauty warrants. The maples were turning red, the winds were nonexistent, and the crowds were thin. My wife patiently allowed me to practice my art. Lost Maples is a lovely place. Spending time there with someone you love on a crisp fall afternoon makes for good memories and good conversation.
The path of color from Lost Maples can rejuvenate the soul on a crisp Autumn afternoon in the Hill Country.
For lodging during our visit to Lost Maples, we had booked a cabin. It was cold – really cold – when we arrived that first night, picked up the key at the dropbox, and unloaded our belongings. The nice lady I had spoken to earlier said the room might be a bit cold, but the heater should warm it up quickly. So the first thing I did was turn on the heat. On high. For 15 minutes. But no heat came out. We called. She apologized and moved us to another room. No problem. These things happen. The next room did have heat. Time to shower… But no hot water. Uggh.
OK… we survived, but the shower was brutal. The temperature of the water finally reached lukewarm.
After a few days at Lost Maples, we headed south for a bit and arrived in Garner State Park. We spent a little time in this area along the Frio River photographing the colorful cypress. I even had a duck swim into my photograph. I thanked him, he quacked, and then swam off.
The colors of the cypress trees in Autumn fill this photograph from Garner State Park in the Texas Hill Country.
From Garner State Park the last morning of our trip, I wanted to swing through Boerne and visit the Cibolo Nature Preserve. I had not been here before but had seen some stunning photographs of the cypress along Cibolo Creek. As we approached the Preserve, I was creeping along at 30mph, not sure of where I was to turn, when quick as the wind a deer committed suicide on the front of my car. The whole scene was surreal. I was going so slow. How could such a dumb creature cause this much damage at only 30mph? As I write, my SUV is scheduled to go to the car doctor tomorrow for a front end makeover. I never even had time to hit the brakes. With heavy hearts, we continued on (never saw the deer, so I assume he stumbled off and died somewhere). We spent some time walking along Cibolo Creek while I tried to be inspired by the stately cypress along the riverbank, but with the recent deer-into-the-headlights incident, I just wasn't feeling it. Hopefully some of the images I captured from this trip will help recoup some of the $$$ lost.
This black and white image from the Cibolo Nature Preserve comes from Boerne, Texas, a little town with a lot of charm.
In the meantime, please feel free to visit my photography website.
The colors are beautiful out there right now. I hope you have a chance to get out an enjoy them!

The Carmel Development Company Building is a one-story concrete block commercial building in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. The building is the first and oldest commercial business block, and first "fireproof" concrete block building in Carmel. The structure is recognized as an important commercial building in the city's Downtown Conservation District Historic Property Survey, and was nominated and submitted to the California Register of Historical Resources on February 17, 2003. The building is occupied by the Carmel Drug Store, which is the oldest remaining business in the block.

History

The Carmel Development Company Building was the first "modern" commercial building in Carmel built in 1902–1903 on the northwest corner of San Carlos Street and Ocean Avenue. It has a flat roof and its exterior wall covering is made up of hollow core "fireproof" concrete blocks. The concrete wall cladding for the building was made by the Wizard Face Down Concrete Block Machine made by the Sears and Roebuck Company. T. A. Work was responsible for the construction. Artie Bowen was the Carmel carpenter and the work was supervised by George Quentel.

The building originally housed the Carmel Development Company (on left) of Frank Powers and Franklin Devendorf, the T. A. Work Hardware Company (in the middle), and Devendorf's Preble Grocery store around 1906 (on the right). The grocery store continued in business until 1973, beginning as Preble Grocery (1906), then Leidig Brothers (1916), and Kip's (1937-1973).

The Hardware store housed three different hardware stores including Holman's Carmel Hardware Store. The Carmel Development Company was replaced with the Carme Drug Store, which is the oldest drug store in Carmel. The store has operated since 1908 and still exits today with its historic interior.

Changes in the original building were made in 1989, include three fixed display windows cut into the east side and the replacement of the veneering of the storefront with black marble panels on the Carmel Drug Store, cobblestone in the middle bay, and wood paneling on the then Dansk storefront. The Carmel Drug Store has the oldest example of exterior electric lighting in Carmel.

Across the street was Stanford's Drug Store on the southeast corner of Ocean Avenue and San Carolos Street. It opened in 1908 as Carmel-by-the-Sea Drug Store, and the name changed to Stanford's Drug Store from 1929-1953. The building was torn down around 1937 and today, it is Lamb's Country Store.

The building qualifies for inclusion in the downtown historic district property survey because of its age, association with the founders of Carmel, and its importance to the economic development of Carmel. It also qualifies due to its unusual method of construction using "fireproof" concrete blocks.

On July 15, 1923, the Bank of Carmel opened in a building on Ocean Avenue, between Mission and Dolores Streets, which adjoins the Carmel Development Company building. It was the first commercial bank in Carmel. T. A. Work was elected president of the bank.

Are There Really "Plenty Of Shapiros Out There"? A Comment On The Courage Of Norma L. Shapiro, Reid K. Weisbord, David A. Hoffman
Norma Levy Shapiro, a trailblazing United States District Court Judge whose tenure on the Philadelphia federal bench spanned nearly 40 years, died July 22, 2016. This memoriam, written by two former law clerks, reflects fondly on Judge Shapiro's judicial courage to follow her conscience even when doing so required making deeply unpopular decisions. To illustrate, this memoriam examines three of Judge Shapiro's most memorable cases from her notable prisoner litigation docket.
First, in Harris v. Pernsley, Judge Shapiro's principled but polarizing decisions in the Philadelphia prison overcrowding litigation elicited a now-familiar brand of snark from one (tremendous! but imperfectly …

Perfectly Frank: A Reflection On Quality Lawyering In Honor Of R. Franklin Balotti, Leo E. Strine Jr., James J. Hanks Jr., John F. Olson, A. Gilchrist Sparks, E. Norman Veasey, Gregory P. Williams
This essay honoring the late R. Franklin Balotti focuses upon certain of the key attributes necessary to practice business law effectively and ethically. Among these attributes are a strong work ethic, the integrity to stand behind your own advice and candidly admit when things do not go according to plan, empathy for how others will view your client's actions and the ability to communicate that perception to your client, the confidence to change the pace of a transaction when a slow down or time out is warranted, and the ability to have some fun and laugh (even at yourself).

What Setsuo has accomplished over these past 30 years is nothing short of remarkable. I can think of no other scholar within or outside of Japan who has had a greater impact on both the legal academic community and society more generally. Indeed, when Setsuo was still quite young he had already written a number of influential articles. But they turn out to represent only a fraction of his extraordinary output over the next years. In reflecting on Setsuo's many achievements, I am particularly drawn to comment on three of them. First, his empirical and comparative law and society scholarship, …

In an unusual case, Scottish-born painter Peter Doig was accused of wrongfully denying the authenticity of a painting he insisted he did not paint, to the financial detriment of the work's owner. Doig won the case against him, which commenced in 2013 and continued for three years. United States District Judge Gary Feinerman ultimately ruled that the evidence presented in a week-long trial proved "conclusively" that Doig did not paint the plaintiff owner's painting. The case raised concerns about whether a living artist should ever be required by law to authenticate a work of art ascribed to him or her …

Justice Kennedy's Sixth Amendment Pragmatism, Stephanos Bibas
This essay, written as part of a symposium on the evolution of Justice Kennedy's jurisprudence, surveys three areas of criminal procedure under the Sixth Amendment: sentence enhancements, the admissibility of hearsay, and the regulation of defense counsel's responsibilities. In each area, Justice Kennedy has been a notable voice of pragmatism, focusing not on bygone analogies to the eighteenth century but on a hard-headed appreciation of the twenty-first. He has shown sensitivity to modern criminal practice, prevailing professional norms, and practical constraints, as befits a Justice who came to the bench with many years of private-practice experience. His touchstone is not …
Institutional Choice In An Economic Crisis, David A. Skeel Jr. Jan 2013
Institutional Choice In An Economic Crisis, David A. Skeel Jr.
Neil Komesar's work has transformed our understanding of how institutional analysis should be done. There is one very surprising omission from the breathtaking range of Komesar's oeuvre, however: he has never directly applied his framework to crises. My aim in this Article is to advance, at least in a small way, our understanding of institutional choice during and after an economic crisis. Part I very briefly revisits the recent crisis, emphasizing its institutional dimensions. Part II identifies three puzzles posed by a crisis for standard Komesarian analysis. Part III then shows how Eric Posner and Adrian Vermeule's executive-centered theory partially …

Portia's Deal, Karen M. Tani
The New Deal, one of the greatest expansions of government in U.S. history, was a "lawyers' deal": it relied heavily on lawyers' skills and reflected lawyers' values. Was it exclusively a "male lawyers' deal"? This Essay argues that the New Deal offered important opportunities to women lawyers at a time when they were just beginning to graduate from law school in significant numbers. Agencies associated with social welfare policy, a traditionally "maternalist" enterprise, seem to have been particularly hospitable. Through these agencies, women lawyers helped to administer, interpret, and create the law of a new era.

Introduction: Appreciating Bill Stuntz, Michael Klarman, David A. Skeel Jr., Carol Steiker
The past several decades have seen a renaissance in criminal procedure as a cutting edge discipline, and as one inseparably linked to substantive criminal law. The renaissance can be traced in no small part to the work of a single scholar: William Stuntz. This essay is the introductory chapter to The Political Heart of Criminal Procedure: Essays on Themes of William J. Stuntz (forthcoming, Cambridge University Press, 2012), which brings together twelve leading American criminal justice scholars whose own writings have been profoundly influenced by Stuntz and his work.
