Texas AG Paxton won't issue legal opinion on invasion
Mexican cartels are engaging in nontraditional warfare and aren't operating independently from the Mexican government, according to numerous reports by U.S. intelligence agencies.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton won't be issuing a legal opinion declaring an invasion at the southern border, First Attorney General Brent Webster said.
That decision is "shortsighted," a Navy JAG attorney and national security law expert told The Center Square, and Webster's reasoning for not doing so is inaccurate.
Webster's remarks came after at least eight Texas counties declared an invasion this month. More are expected to do so. Many conservatives have called on Paxton for over a year to issue an invasion opinion.
During a panel discussion at an America First Policy Institute summit in Washington, D.C., Webster said, "AG Paxton has publicly acknowledged that if you look at the definition of invasion, this is an invasion. But what it's not is it's not a foreign uniformed entity invading our country. It's not the Mexican army invading our country. You have to look at the complexity of the issue.
"We have been asked for our opinion and we decided this is going to end up in litigation so we're not going to issue an opinion."
Jonathan Hullihan, an officer in the Navy Judge Advocate General's Corps and a leading authority in international and national security law, told The Center Square that he "respectfully disagrees" with Webster's "conclusory and shortsighted opinion."
Texas has a constitutionally granted legal right to declare and repel an invasion from non-state actors, he said. For Webster to suggest that declaring an invasion requires "a foreign uniformed entity" indicates that he has a misunderstanding of the law, Hullihan added.
It's also well-documented that the Mexican cartels are engaging in nontraditional warfare and aren't operating independently from the Mexican government, according to numerous reports by U.S. intelligence agencies.
"As a uniformed lawyer in the Navy JAGC that spent most of my career in Operational Law, International Law, and National Security law, often the most complex facts and legal analysis relate to distinguishing, targeting, and use of force against non-state actors. To this point, the southern border is not simply an immigration and naturalization issue, but rather an issue of national and state security," Hullihan said.
"The state of Texas has a right and an obligation to act within the framework of the Constitution to protect its citizens from the destabilizing effects of the non-state actors, transnational criminal organizations, and the dramatic escalation of narco-terrorism that is exported and operating freely into the United States."
Hullihan has served as legal counsel and advisor to Navy SEAL teams, Special Operations units in the United States Central Command (USCENTCOM) theater of operations, among other roles. He's now the lead attorney for Texas for the nonprofit County Citizens Defending Freedom, CCDF-USA.
He points to Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich's opinion issued in February, arguing it was "the correct Constitutional analysis." Brnovich specifically argued that "non-state actors may constitute an invasion, particularly when the invasion uses asymmetrical warfare tactics and strategy carried out by non-state actors with complex command and control networks. These networks are funded and carry out operations to achieve the desired effects of human trafficking, moving illicit opioids like fentanyl within their supply chains, and use all methods and means of irregular warfare to achieve their operational goals."
"The on-the-ground violence and lawlessness at Arizona's border caused by cartels and gangs is extensive, well-documented, and persistent. It can satisfy the definition of 'actually invaded' and 'invasion' under the U.S. Constitution," Brnovich's opinion states. "The federal government is failing to fulfill its duty under Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution to defend the States from invasion. The State Self-Defense Clause exists precisely for situations such as the present, to ensure that states are not left helpless."
Webster also said the "invaders are working with the federal government," which "raises questions I don't think a lot of people want to deal with right now."
Longtime Democratic border county judges disagree. They were among the first to declare an invasion and are now running for reelection as Republicans. Kinney County Attorney Brent Smith, whose county was the first to declare an invasion, maintains that Texas as a sovereign state has the constitutional right to defend its own border.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has also yet to declare an invasion, instead taking unprecedented action to thwart criminal activity coming from the Texas-Mexico border.
More than 2 million people from over 150 countries have been apprehended illegally entering the U.S. since President Joe Biden took office. Another million are estimated to have evaded capture illegally entering the U.S. unrelated to immigration whose whereabouts are unknown. Border Patrol agents have seized enough lethal doses of fentanyl coming through the southern border to potentially kill 2.5 billion people, excluding the amounts seized by state and local law enforcement. These factors threaten the lives of Texans and Americans, the judges who've declared an invasion argue.
"Until the state of Texas properly recognizes the threat and Constitutional framework available to protect our citizens, I am not confident that we will solve this problem. In fact, it will only get worse," Hullihan told The Center Square.

Q: My json request will not fire a beforeSend request.. Can't seem to figure out why Notes

*

*This is jQuery 1.4.4

*This is not a jsonp request. Just vanilla json within my domain.

My Request
$autocomplete_xhr = $.ajax({
  url: '/customers/filter.json',
  contentType: "application/json",
  data: { name: request.term },
  dataType: 'json',
  beforeSend: function(xhr) {
   console.log('Inside beforeSend');
   console.log(xhr);
  },

When I send the AJAX request out, console.log will not fire off.
What do you think the problem is?

A: clearly said in docs
beforeSend(jqXHR, settings)

A pre-request callback function that can be used to modify the jqXHR
  (in jQuery 1.4.x, XMLHTTPRequest) object before it is sent. Use
  this to set custom headers, etc. The jqXHR and settings maps are
  passed as arguments. This is an Ajax Event. Returning false in the
  beforeSend function will cancel the request. As of jQuery 1.5, the
  beforeSend option will be called regardless of the type of request.

Coronavirus Response Network
FDA Approves First At-Home COVID-19 Test
by Mark Wilson
The first rapid coronavirus test that can be taken at home and deliver results in 30 minutes was cleared for emergency use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, paving the way for employers to consider its use.
Clinical trials showed patients were able to perform the Lucira self-test in about two minutes and have results within 30 minutes. The test will cost about $50.
High accuracy important: According to Lucira, the test accurately detected 94% of the infections found by a well-established PCR test. It also correctly identified 98% of the healthy, uninfected people.
Availability questions: It remains unclear how quickly Lucira can ramp up manufacturing and distribution. Further, the test will be available by prescription only.
Outlook: Until March 2021, the test will only be available on a limited basis in point-of-care settings and health care networks that prescribe. By the second quarter of 2021, the company plans to enable people who think they might have COVID-19 to communicate online with a medical professional through a dedicated website to arrange a prescription and overnight delivery of the test kit.

Shikatani Lacroix Design (SLD) helped Tip Top redefine their brand through the creation of a new visual identity, retail store design, digital experience, value proposition and brand manifesto.
Founded in 1909, Tip Top is a Canadian retail clothing company that specializes in menswear. With offerings that range from suits to casual and outerwear, each Tip Top location also features an in-house tailor. Now a division of Grafton Apparel Ltd., there are 90 Tip Top locations across Canada.
Tip Top hired Shikatani Lacroix Design to help revitalize their brand through the creation of a new store design and corporate identity. Though Tip Top is well established within the Canadian market, the company wanted to appeal to a younger demographic without alienating their existing customers. Along with writing an updated value proposition, brand manifesto and positioning for Tip Top, SLD designed a new logo, retail concept and digital experience.
Tip Top wanted to change the perception that consumers had about their brand, and ultimately reinvent their in-store experience to attract new customers and gain relevance within the competitive menswear market.
Many Tip Top locations had not been changed since the 1990's, and there was a need to have a retail design and digital experience that could align the Tip Top brand across different cities and provinces. Given the fact that many Tip Top locations vary in size and layout, it was also important to develop a design concept that could be implemented within restrictive footprints. Furthermore, the design had to accommodate a wide range of products and offerings in an appealing and organized manner.
As part of the design process, SLD conducted an extensive audit that looked at Tip Top's competitors and audience. An online survey of Canadian consumers who buy suits was also organized to help better understand what Tip Top was doing well, and in what areas there was room for improvement. Through the research, it was established that a key point of differentiation for Tip Top was their ability to tailor clothes in-store. While many respondents agreed that Tip Top provided a quality, stylish and well-fitting suit that was within their budget, most indicated that Tip Top was not their first choice when shopping.
We believe every man deserves to look great. We fit your body. We fit your style. We fit your budget. We fit you with the confidence you get when you look and feel great.
The updated visual identity for Tip Top is a nod to the strong equity behind the brand. A cleaner, slimmer profile for the wordmark reflects the fit and style of the brand's new direction, while a splash of color adds a contemporary touch. A frame surrounding the wordmark was also introduced, delivering an air of unstated confidence to the overall brand.
The new Tip Top store design is modern and organized, with a layout that is easy to navigate and celebrates a range of merchandise and offerings. Featuring natural materials and bright, inviting colors, the retail design contains unique elements that allow for stores of different sizes to remain consistent and recognizable.
Custom TT wall graphics, a cash that doubles as a laydown table, comfortable seating for shoppers, and fixtures that let the merchandise stand out all create an enjoyable and memorable shopping experience for customers. Further into the store, a Fit Room has been introduced, which is defined by an eye-catching amber glass wall which prominently highlights Tip Top's in-house tailor and expert sales staff.
As part of the digital experience strategy, SLD is phasing in a model that will allow Tip Top to connect with customers at all stages of their shopping journey. In store, new large format digital walls combine product imagery and fashion visuals with branded messages and promotions, providing a great opportunity to attract and engage customers in-store. The impactful digital displays provide an instant Blink Factor and further personify the Tip Top brand.
The first renovated Tip Top store opened in March of 2019 at the Bramalea City Centre in Brampton, Ontario, with a second in Calgary, Alberta opening a few days later. Just in time for spring, the updated spaces showcase the latest in men's fashion and create a modern and comfortable environment for shoppers. With more locations expected to open throughout the year, Tip Top's reinvention is well underway.

Roststjärtad flugsnappare (Cyornis ruficauda) är en fågel i familjen flugsnappare inom ordningen tättingar.

Utseende och läte
Roststjärtad flugsnappare är en medelstor flugsnappare med en lång och slank näbb. Fjäderdräkten är färglös, men utmärker sig genom varmt roströd stjärt, vit strupe och diffus brun eller grå anstrykning på bröstet. Sången hos roststjärtad flugsnappare beskrivs som en serie med upp till tre ljusa "chirr" som upprepas snabbt, eller mer melodiskt "cheep cheep chirr", ibland följt av ljusa sträva toner eller en drill.

Utbredning och systematik
Roststjärtad flugsnappare delas upp i sju underarter med följande utbredning:
 ruficauda-gruppen
 Cyornis ruficauda samarensis – förekommer i Filippinerna (Leyte, Samar och östra Mindanao)
 Cyornis ruficauda boholensis – förekommer på Bohol (Filippinerna)
 Cyornis ruficauda zamboanga – förekommer på västra Mindanao (södra Filippinerna)
 Cyornis ruficauda ruficauda – förekommer på Basilan (södra Filippinerna)
 Cyornis ruficauda ocularis – förekommer i Suluarkipelagen (Pangamican och Tawitawi)
 ruficrissa-gruppen
 Cyornis ruficauda ruficrissa – förekommer på norra Borneo (Mount Kinabalu)
 Cyornis ruficauda isola – förekommer i bergskogar på Sarawak (norra Borneo)

International Ornithological Congress (IOC) urskiljer underartsgrupperna ocularis och ruficrissa som egna arter, suluflugsnappare respektive crockerflugsnappare, baserat på studier som visar på tydliga skillnader i läten och utseende.

Släktestillhörighet
Tidigare placerades roststjärtad flugsnappare i släktet Rhinomyias men genetiska studier visar att den tillsammans med flera andra i samma släkte istället är del av Cyornis.

Levnadssätt
Roststjärtad flugsnappare hittas i skogar i låglänta områden och förberg i Filippinerna, på Borneo mer i bergstrakter. Den sitter ofta lågt i undervegetationen eller i skogsbryn, varifrån den gör utfall för att fånga insekter.

Status och hot
Arten har ett stort utbredningsområde, men tros minska i antal, dock inte tillräckligt kraftigt för att den ska betraktas som hotad. Internationella naturvårdsunionen IUCN listar arten som livskraftig (LC).

You may have seen me hinting about a secret project recently. Yes, I'm feeling very secretive indeed! I'm not quite ready to launch the project. I'm still in that exciting/nervous early stage where I'm working through all my questions about the project; I'm questioning my assumptions and motivations and end goal. It's gonna be really good, I promise.
What I can tell you is that lately I've been looking back to move forward. Normally I spend all my time looking ahead ahead ahead – I'm rarely in the present moment, and even less than that do I look at the past. I like to let the past stay the past, as a rule. It happened, you were there, now you're here doing all the things you're doing now. Isn't time wonderful and strange?
Last fall when I was home in Tennessee for a visit, I spent an afternoon sorting through my old negatives. I need to ship them to California to properly scan all of them. As a first step, I rummaged through a bunch of stacks and brought home the ones that spoke to me. I had to pack light, since my next stop was New York for TSH Conference.
Now it's February, and I've finally started digging into them. Looking into the past feels so precious and so intense: remembering who you used to be and how you used to feel and what you used to do. When I was seventeen I found my parents' Olympus OM-2 film camera and taught myself how to use it. I trekked all over Cleveland and Charleston and Bradley County and Polk County and Hamilton County. Once I accidentally drove to South Carolina because I wanted to see where a road took me. When is the last time you did that, without a smartphone?
I shot friends and family and strangers and places and light and motion and hell I even tried to photograph sound. Everything was new and exciting — do you remember what that felt like? For life to feel brand new? I had no idea what freedom I had back then. I used what I made at my after-school job to buy film and fast food and gas. I bought my film at Walmart and got it developed at Walgreens.
Where is this all going? It doesn't really have to go anywhere. When you get older it feels like everything is supposed to have a POINT and a PURPOSE and an END GOAL. And that's definitely a good strategy for when you want to produce a lot of work. But I think there's also tremendous value in just letting work be what it is, and not try to sell it or make it something that you're trying to get recognition from. Just let the work be what it is, because you enjoyed making it.
As for the secret project, well, I'll let you know when it's ready to be shared. :)

Video Roundup // 10
Mariah has quite a few remixes of her own work, so I've decided to share them relatively close to the original videos. To back up a little, this is my first time watching most Mariah Carey videos. Now I've made it my mission to watch each one and tell you what I think about it. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. <3
1. Emotions (Remix)
Amazing. It starts with Mariah belting out gospel notes, and then goes into an ultra cool dance beat, complete with Very Strong Keyboard Notes. The video is the same.
2. Heartbreaker Remix - Mariah Carey, Missy Elliot, Da Brat
Jay-Z didn't contribute enough to the original, so we had to bring in some pussy power with Da Brat and Missy Elliot. Caveat: I don't think Mariah should have to wash any car with her face on it. C'mon girl, you're better than that. Da Brat destroying a wedding cake is everything. Missy is the best. I wonder how stoned Snoop is in this video?
3. Fantasy ft. O.D.B.
Last week we covered the original Fantasy video, which everyone adores. Let me point your attention to this version of Fantasy with special guest Ol' Dirty Bastard. This version of Fantasy is low-key, and the video is chopped up in a weird way to accommodate the smoother track. More importantly...how…did…O.D.B. get here? I love that they obviously shot his part on a different day because the sky is cloudy. And now the clown is tied up. Anyway, RIP O.D.B. You and this remix live on in dance clubs across the world.
4. Obsessed (Remix) ft. Gucci Mane
Um, this is a remix of Obsessed with Gucci Mane. That's all you really need to know.
5. We Belong Together Remix Live
Times Square was the place to be on New Year's Eve 2005. Her backup dancers are great and the tune is smooth. The best thing about this has to be the Youtube comments where some people say she's lip syncing, and other people go into great detail defending her live performance (as recently as two years ago). Mariah fans are so real.

Video Roundup // 9
It's Friday! Time for another Mariah-fest to get us into the weekend and in the mood for That Love Day. Let's go!
The jetski video!
2. Heartbreaker
What I love is that the video jumps right into all girl synchronized dancing. AND I forgot about her evil brunette twin!! Things that make me laugh: Jay-Z in the back just saying "sing the song!"
I'll forgive the clown at the beginning, but ONLY because of the little girl dancing, that belly chain, and classic Mariah surrounded by dancing dudes. Can anyone tell me where to get a cropped zip-up sweatshirt?? Yeezy season 1??
4. Shake it Off
We need to shake off the week before we can enjoy the weekend. What I love about this song is her reference to a Calgon commercial. I bet you $100 that people a few years younger than me – or even my age, 26– don't get the reference. While we've got the fightin' words out, I'm gonna say that Mariah and her little girl dance gang beat Taylor Swift anyday. To top it all off, she defaces public property with a Krink marker. Done.
5. I Want to Know What Love Is
Am I trolling you? Maybe a little. This video is weird. Screw it though, I love this song! Try getting it out of your head the rest of the day, I dare you. You're gonna listen to this 10 more times today and do a little desk karaoke - don't act like you won't.
I hope you know what love is this weekend! Let me know what your favorite Mariah video is and you just might see it next week. ;)

For the last several days I've been gathering everything I need for tax season, with Mariah on repeat. I can't explain it, but her entire discography is exactly what I need to get this shit done. I went down a pretty deep rabbithole of Mariah videos, and there are just too many to fit in one post. So this week is part one of a new Mariah series! Each week I'll be serving up five Mariah videos until I run out or get tired, whichever happens first. Here we go!
1. We Belong Together
When I first went freelance in late 2015, I got hooked on "We Belong Together." I listened to it on repeat, for hours, doing my very first freelance jobs. I know every word now. This video has all of Mariah's favorite things: singing with wet hair, singing with wind blowing through her hair, and a dramatic exit with a hot dude. Get it girl.
2. Up Out My Face
I had somehow *never* seen this video of Mariah and Nicki together until today. The cheap typography is unfortunate — and why does Mimi's name on her doll box get a drop shadow but not Nicki? Is Mariah's star brighter? Also, the B in Barbie on Nicki's necklace is blurred out for legal reasons, obvs. Cheap aesthetic aside, the best part of this video is definitely that they're having fun together. :)
3. Emotions
I noticed the Emotions album cover on Spotify and had to investigate. What I found was Mariah hanging out with a bunch of sexy dudes and cool girls in a technicolor party, that includes some guy feeding a loris. YASSS.
4. Dreamlover
Ah the 90s, so carefree! Ms. Misandry has a field of hotties dancing for her, and she's rocking a casual girl-next-door look. Very cute. Plus does anyone know who the androgynous friend in the stripe shirt is??
5. Obsessed
Apparently Eminem said some nasty things about her back in the day, and she made this song about it. The best part of this video is definitely Mariah dressed as Eminem in a room full of posters of her. Oh, and more wind blowing through her hair.
Stay tuned for five more Mariah videos next week! What are your top Mariah videos? Let me know in the comments!

The truth is, I don't surf the net for videos every day or even every week. But sometimes, just sometimes, I come across a video that makes me stop. A video that makes me stop checking twitter, put it on full screen, and just watch. Giving something online my attention for 3, 5, 7, even 10 minutes is an effort. We move so fast.
The video for "Sleep Sound" by Jamie XX is beautiful in it's simplicity. Dancing is a wonderful, silent, amazing activity that helps humans loosen up and get out of our heads. If you're ever alone, and feeling stuck, turn on a song you like and dance. Let loose. No one's watching. It doesn't matter how stupid you look – that's the point.
What do you like to dance to?

This week's video roundup includes a behind-the-scenes interview with Chaz Bundick aka Toro y Moi, a summary of one couple's 5-month roadtrip across the US, and a little inside joke for graphic designers. Enjoy!
found on booooooom
Chaz Bundick talks about the importance of honesty is your work and in your music. He reminds you to make the music you want to make, not the music you think other people want to hear. This nicely correlates with art and design, and our constant instincts to please other people.
"Just be as weird as you can get."
Vancrafted is the story of one couple from NY who dropped everything, bought a van, and roadtripped across the US last year. I followed their adventure on Instagram and loved seeing the beautiful places they found. I want to make a trip like this one day!
And finally, a joke for graphic designers. It makes me wonder if I subconsciously wanted to become one after seeing some of these films...

Meet Gudetama
Yesterday I learned about a new Sanrio character, Gudetama, and it is everything. According to the LA Times, Gudetama was created last year as part of a contest to create a new Sanrio character. Gudetama won second place to a salmon named Kimiri-chan.
Gudetama is a lethargic egg.
Sanrio developed a short animation series for Gudetama that you can watch on Youtube.
In this episode, a girl uses Gudetama to make cupcakes.
In the next episode, we learn that the cupcake is for the girl's crush. Gudetama is supposed to read her love note, but he gives up instead. Oh, Gudetama!
There was even a limited-time Gudetama café open in Tokyo last fall.

For those of us not in Tokyo, you can follow Gudetama on Twitter. May the spirit of Gudetama the lazy egg carry you into the weekend. Hope you have lots of fun!

Richard Turley
One of the best interviews I've read recently is with Richard Turley on It's Nice That. The two-part interview goes into why Richard left Businessweek for MTV, and how his work has evolved since the switch.
"The conspiracy theory behind it is that we're trying to de-brand MTV, using the chaotic visual language of our audience – the freedom, attitude, and urgency of that whole DIY shit that has a powerful legacy with the channel in the past."
"The clusterfuck of visual content that we make and experience simultaneously on multiple screens, together, apart, sharing, liking, consuming."
"We just want to make fun stuff that feels authentic – it can't feel like some stupid agency bullshit branding play. We hired a handful of kids and we let them loose."
I think corporate work gets a bad rap, and Richard's work at both Businessweek and MTV is an example of turning notions on their head to make work that really stands out. In my opinion, the most successful businesses (or those who I respect the most) are the ones who take direction from designers who take risks. Playing it safe is fine for insurance agencies and banks, but everyone else should really lighten up.
Read part 1 and part 2 of Richard's interview on It's Nice That. And be sure to check out Richard Turley's Tumblr.
Now go out and make weird stuff today. :)

Video Roundup
Welcome to a new series, Video Roundup. Every Wednesday I'll be sharing the videos that are catching my eye.
In honor of the Superbowl (yes, I'm behind!) we're starting with a throwback Missy jam. Favorite line: "step to me, get burnt like toast."
While I was on the throwback train, I had a nice, long laugh at the Chinese Backstreet Boys. Remember them?! One of the first viral videos. My favorite is their roommate in the background, obviously uninterested in the history taking place behind him.
And now for something completely different: Off the Record, a design documentary by Laura Sans of Barcelona. Laura interviews a handful of designers on the deeper contexts and implications that we sometimes ignore in the industry. It definitely made me miss design school a bit. If you didn't go to a Bauhaus-y design school and have long discussions about the greater meaning of design, then you're especially in for a treat.
What videos inspired you this week? Tell me in the comments!

Ode to Soy Sauce
On February 7th Kenji Ekuan, the designer of the iconic Kikkoman soy sauce bottle, passed away at 85. I've long-admired this bottle, and recently wondered who designed it. I'm sad to be learning about him under these circumstances.
Amazingly, Kenji is also the designer of the Komachi bullet train connecting Tokyo and northern Japan, and the Narita Express train. Kenji founded consultancy GK Industrial Design Associates in 1957, which continues to create work today.
In 2012, Lucy Walker directed a documentary about Kikkoman's interesting 300-year history.
According to Design Week, Ekuan was was known for his motto "design is a source of life-enhancement." Read more about Ekuan's life in the Times.
Thank you for enhancing our lives, Kenji. Your soy sauce bottle truly brings me joy.

My wishlist / to do list / inspiration for 2015. Let's have some fun!
I quit baking at the end of last year as I got my life in order. Now that I'm feeling fresh again, it's time to break out this mixer. Olive oil cake, anyone?
Lounging and relaxing is pretty important to me. I've ditched most of my sweats in favor of silky, elegant loungewear. It makes all the difference in how you feel at home.
Finding a warm beach sounds pretty nice...
How about a sparkly, raging party?
This is the year I learn to stand up on a skateboard.
Starry nights with close friends...
And I definitely want to spend more time in Big Sur.

Visiting hot springs is a must.
Don't even get me started on our upcoming trip to India. More on that soon!
I'm looking forward to whatever this year brings. Let's do it.

FKA Twigs + Google Glass
FKA Twigs was commissioned by Google Glass to make a video. The way she incorporates the device into the arrangement is pretty interesting, and characteristic of her style. If anyone can make Google Glass look cool, it's her.

West Coast Craft
I spent Sunday afternoon at West Coast Craft, and whoa – I was completely blown away. So many amazing artists and craftspeople from all over: LA, Berkeley, Portland... I was so impressed with the care and attention that went into people's booths.
Here are a few of my favorites:
Whyte, a furniture design studio and fabrication workshop in San Francisco.
Nobl Goods
Completely obsessed with Nobel Truong's booth! She makes adorable ceramics, and her booth was made entirely of paper. Just look at those palms!
I wouldn't mind getting one of Jen Hewett's small bags for Christmas ;)
Abacus Row
There were too many people crowding Christine Trac's booth, so I had to swipe this photo from her Instagram.
Forest & Waves
Forest & Waves had such a crazy mash-up of stuff at their booth.
Ilano
Ilano is a husband-wife team who design and produce textiles: rugs, pillows, bags, you name it. They're currently working with textile makers in Oaxaca to make their goods. You can even meet their artisans on their website.
Aleksandra Zee and Katie Gong
Hands down, one of the best booths at WCC. Aleksandra Zee and Katie Gong, both furniture makers, crafted this giant teepee to display their furniture. I'm dying to buy one of those stools, AND that bench! One day, one day.
Wolfum
Love the neon at Wolfum's booth.
What booths did you love at WCC? It's days like today that I really appreciate living in California.

Iron Mountain Begins Construction of 550,000 Sq. Ft. Multi-Tenant and Cloud Data Center, Plans to Invest $430M
"As one of the fastest growing major markets in the U.S., and the 12th largest data center market globally, this expansion opportunity in the Phoenix area is an exciting opportunity for us," said Rick Crutchley, vice president and general manager western region, Iron Mountain Data Centers.
Author: Donald Wiedemeyer
Iron Mountain's new 550,000 square-foot, 48-megawatt (MW) multi-tenant and cloud data center is designed to meet the security and performance expectations of the largest public cloud providers and maintain the stringent compliance requirements of global enterprise and public sector customers.
The new facility will be built on a nine-acre parcel adjacent to Iron Mountain's existing 38 MW data center in Phoenix. The new building will help serve the growing demands from new and existing customers – including public cloud providers, financials, aerospace and technology companies that would benefit from access to 25-plus carrier and network connectivity providers already deployed on the campus. Like other Iron Mountain data centers, this new facility will support "key" data centers standards such as ISO 27001, FISMA High, PCI-DSS Level 1, HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II and SOC 3.
The first of two phases of construction, scheduled for completion in June 2019, will deliver 24 MW of capacity as part of Iron Mountain's estimated $430 million investment in the campus over the next five-year development plan. When combined with current and potential capacity, the Phoenix data center campus can support up to approximately 100 MW, while Iron Mountain's total data center portfolio potential represents more than 285 MW globally.
"As one of the fastest growing major markets in the U.S., and the 12th largest data center market globally, this expansion opportunity in the Phoenix area is an exciting opportunity for us," said Rick Crutchley, vice president and general manager western region, Iron Mountain Data Centers. "The expanded campus will meet the growing demand from hyperscale, public cloud and global enterprise organizations that appreciate the Phoenix market's unique combination of low power costs, outstanding tax efficiency and low geographic and weather-related risks. We'll be well positioned to bring our capabilities to support customers' needs well into the future."
IO Data Centers, EvoSwitch, Credit Suisse
Founded in 1951, Iron Mountain is a global provider of storage and information management services. Trusted by more than 225,000 organizations around the world, and with a real estate network of more than 85 million square feet across more than 1,400 facilities in over 50 countries, Iron Mountain stores and protects billions of valued assets, including critical business information, highly sensitive data, and cultural and historical artifacts.
The announcement follows the news of Iron Mountain acquiring several colocation data center providers globally, including IO Data Centers' US operations (for the amount of $1.34 billion), EvoSwitch's data center business in the Netherlands (for $235 million), and two Credit Suisse data centers in London and Singapore (for approximately $100 million).

Bounding box of the aerial photographs Meuse, Vesdre and Demer
The bounding box of the aerial photographs in the flooded areas around the Meuse, the Vesdre and the Demer. On the occasion of the floods which hit Belgium, aerial photographs have been made in the flooded areas around the Meuse from Eisden to Luik, the Vesdre and the Demer. access to the bounding box of these aerial photographs is free. Due to the high resolution, the aerial photographs may contain or give access to private data. This is why they are not accessible for the general public. The aerial photographs are available, only for public institutions, in the download portal. Access code required, available through geo4crisis@ngi.be.
View service - Orthophoto Meuse, Vesdre and Demer
The service makes it possible to view the aerial photos with orthorectification taken by Hansa Luftbild at NGI's request following the floods of July 2021 in the areas of the Vesdre, part of the Meuse downstream of Liège and the Demer. The resolution of the original data is 6.5 cm (4 cm above the Hoëgne). The service allows the images to be viewed at a maximum resolution of 25 cm. Orthophotos are digital aerial photographs in which the systematic distortions due to the central projection, relief and the not always perfectly vertical axis of shooting have been corrected. The orthophoto thereby obtained is metrically more accurate than an ordinary aerial photograph and is highly valuable as basic information.
Commercial and industrial zones in the Belgian Part of the North Sea
The Royal Decree of 22 May 2019 establishing a marine spatial plan defines 5 commercial and industrial zones: Zone A for commercial and industrial activities (Art. 23§1), Zone B for commercial and industrial activities (Art. 23§1), Zone C for commercial and industrial activities (Art. 23§1), Zone D for commercial and industrial activities (Art. 23§1), Zone E for commercial and industrial activities (Art. 23§1).

"A brand's reputation can be the biggest casualty in a cyber attack, evidenced by high-profile resignations of company executives and plummeting share prices in the aftermath of a data security breach."
"Your business can be the subject of news stories, blog posts, social media comments, or consumer reviews... Monitoring what's being said about your business helps you keep track of your online reputation, respond to comments in a timely manner, and improve your products, services and customer experience based on the feedback you receive."

Hoisted: Journamalists Who See No Problem in Lying About Little Things and Lying About Big Things: Kevin Drum on Joe Klein and the Little Deceptions of the Mainstream Media
My Sections: As Delivered: Fed Up Rethink 2% Inflation Target Blue-Ribbon Commission Conference Call
.pages: https://www.icloud.com/pages/0l-SRZoYAmrajW09lcV3Agq9g
audio: https://populardemocracy.app.box.com/v/EconomistsQuestionInflation
letter: http://populardemocracy.org/sites/default/files/Rethink%202%25%20letter.pdf
Opening Statement (as Delivered): I digress from my job here to say that I agree with everything that Jason and Josh have said. They do not speak just for themselves. They speak for me as well.
And let me also digress by trumping both Jason and Josh.
They both said "if you thought a 2% inflation target was appropriate a decade ago". A decade ago I did not think a 2% inflation target was appropriate.
It was twenty-five years ago this summer that Larry Summers and I went to the Federal Reserve's conference at Jackson Hole to say, among other things, that we thought it would be extremely risky and inappropriate to drop the Fed's informal inflation target from its then-five percent to two percent. The 1990 savings and loan crisis was a small macroeconomic shock. Yet the Federal Reserve cut short-term interest rates by 600 basis points to respond to it. If there were ever a big shock, we said, the Fed would want all that much room to maneuver and more. It would not have that room to maneuver with a two percent inflation target.
So I've been beating this drum for twenty-five years off and on, and feeling very Cassandra-like for the past decade.
Now on to my job here. It is to get all medieval, in the sense of Thomas Aquinas, on you. It is to deal with the objections to our position, and then to provide what we believe are sufficient answers to those objections.
I hear four arguments for not changing the 2%/year inflation target, even though pursuing that target found us in a situation where monetary policy was greatly hobbled in its ability to manage the economy for a solid decade. And, as best as I can evaluate them, all four of these arguments seem to me to be wrong. They are:
The Federal Reserve, even at the zero lower bound, has powerful tools sufficient to carry out its stabilization policy tasks (Cf.: Mankiw and Weinzierl (2011) https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/mankiw/files/exploration_of_optimal.pdf), so moving away from 2%/year as a target is not necessary. This leaves begging the questions of why, then, employment has been so low over the past decade and why production is still so low relative to our circa-2007 expectations.
The problem is not the 2%/year target but rather pressure on the Federal Reserve: pressure from substantial numbers of economists and politicians practicing bad economics and motivated partisan reasoning. (As an example, somebody sent me a video clip this week of the very smart Marvin Goodfriend half a decade ago, arguing that faster recovery required the Fed to hit the economy on the head with a brick to make people more confident in its willingness to fight inflation http://www.bradford-delong.com/2017/06/on-the-negative-information-revealed-by-marvin-goodfriends-i-dont-teach-is-lm.html.) This ignores the Fed's long institutional history of being willing to ignore outside pressure as it performs its standard monetary policy task of judging what appropriate interest rates are. Pressure only mattered when we got into "non-standard" monetary policies, which we needed to do only because the low inflation target had caused us to hit the zero lower bound.
At 2%/year, inflation is non-salient: nobody worries about it. A higher inflation rate would bring shifting expectations of inflation back into the mix, distract people and firms from their proper task of calculating real costs and benefits to worry about monetary policy, and make monetary policy management more complicated. But right now people and firms are "distracted" by the high likelihood of depressions that last longer than five years. That is a much bigger distraction than worrying about whether inflation will be 4%/year of 5%/year. And right now the zero lower bound makes monetary policy management much more complicated than it was back in the 1990s when the impact of Fed policy on inflation expectations was in the mix.
The Federal Reserve needs to maintain its credibility, and if it were to even once change the target inflation rate, its commitment to any target inflation rate would have no credibility. But the credibility you want to have is credibility that you will follow appropriate policies to successfully stabilize the economy—not credibility that you will mindlessly pursue a destructive policy because you think it somehow wrong to acknowledge that the considerations that led you to adopt it in the first place were wrong or have changed. As my friend Daniel Davies puts it in his One-Minute MBA Course: "Is a credible reputation as an idiot a kind of credibility really worth having?" http://crookedtimber.org/2006/11/29/reputations-are-made-of/
Over to you, Joe…
Answers to Questions: There is no unemployment rate target right now.
The Federal Reserve thinks about what the non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment might be. But they claim not to have any strong view. They claim to be guided by the data, in terms of assessing how much pressure the economy can take. By contrast, the Federal Reserve had an informal inflation target of four to five percent per year in the late 1980s and early 1990s. And it then shifted down first, in the mid-1990s, to an informal target of two percent per year for the core PCE index under Alan Greenspan. It then formalized that under Bernanke in the late 2000. If they did have an unemployment rate target to talk about, we would be talking about that as well. But they don't.
The question is a very good one. When I come write the economic history of the 2010s, I think that both Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen are likely to be judged quite harshly. Once the recession of 2008-2009 had reached its end, the Federal Reserve had one overwhelming first priority: to create a strong enough economy that it could sustain short-term safe nominal interest rates of 400 to 500 basis points, and still grow at potential, in order that the Federal Reserve would have room to deal with the next recessionary shock when it came by conventional interest rate policy. The Federal Reserve did not prioritize that objective. Now here we are, late in a recovery, with short-term safe interest rates at 80 basis points or so, and with substantial fear that the economy is not robust enough to support any substantial rise over the time before the next severe recessionary shock hits. Indeed, an attempt to push short-term rates higher in the near future might well be such a recessionary shock.
The Federal Reserve has wedged itself into a position where it has almost no conventional monetary policy ammunition to deploy.
Let me say that the housing bubble did not blow up the economy. Let me say that the deflation of the housing bubble did not blow up the economy. As of the start of 2008, the housing bubble had collapsed, and all of the excess workers who had been employed in construction had moved out and overwhelmingly found jobs in other sectors without even a small recession or more than a trivial rise in the unemployment rate.
But there was left in the bowels of the financial system the fact that the big money center banks had been playing regulatory arbitrage—claiming that the mortgage-backed securities they were holding were true AAA assets when they were nothing of the sort. It was this concentration of overvalued and mischaracterized assets in the highly leveraged money center banks that got us into big trouble, not the collapse of the housing bubble.
You can see this if you recall that the collapse of the dot-com bubble in 2000-1 took down about five times as much in the way of investors' wealth as the collapse of the housing bubble took down the wealth of subprime lenders. And yet the 2000-1 bubble collapse did not cause a big recession. Why not? Because the people who took the hit were the rich equity investors in Silicon Valley, rather than the highly overleveraged money center banks that had decided to get a little bit too clever with how they characterized the assets they were holding.
Note that there are people like Larry Summers and Olivier Blanchard who are right now much more on now on Team Expansionary Fiscal Policy than on Team Raise the Inflation Target, in substantial part because of a desire to keep inflation non-salient and because our understanding of how bubbles are generated and what role ultra-low interest rates and quantitative easing play in generating them is very poor.
Let me underscore Jason's point: Marvin Goodfriend is a potential future nominee to the Federal Reserve Board. Marvin Goodfriend has a remarkable aversion to and suspicion of quantitative easing. But has been very comfortable with the Federal Reserve's interest rate management role.
When I have pitched this idea of a blue-ribbon examination of the proper inflation target in the past, what I have believed was my cleverest thought was to make Ben Bernanke and Larry Summers co-chairs, and make them in charge of figuring out where the rough consensus of—once again getting Thomas Aquinas on you—the greater and wiser part of the informed community of thinkers about this is.
I have to run to two pointless bureaucratic meetings. If you have any more questions, please email me at delong@econ.berkeley.edu, and if I can hide my phone keyboard and use my thumbs I will answer during the meetings, and if not I will answer as soon as I can afterwards.
And one thing I did not say: We have had four pieces of bad news in the past decade, all of which strongly argue against preserving the two percent per year core PCE inflation target. They are:
bad news about the value of the Wicksellian neutral interest rate.
bad news about the public sphere's understanding of what the non-interest rate macroeconomic policy tools are and how to deploy them.
bad news about partisanship—the solid opposition of the Republican Party to the policies of South Carolina Republican Ben Bernanke because it was thought they might redound to the benefit of Obama.
bad news about the strength of non-standard stimulative monetary policies.

Why blockchain and distributed ledger tech was the right move for the ASX's failed CHESS replacement plan
Ignore the sceptics and naysayers. The ASX's attempt to replace its ageing Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System – better known as CHESS – was the right move, despite ending up where it did.
ASX spent vast sums of money attempting to replace CHESS with a complex mix of technologies, including a version of blockchain called distributed ledger technology (DLT).
The use of a distributed ledger in this financial infrastructure would have been one of the biggest non-governmental blockchain-based projects globally. And admittedly, it wasn't successful.
But the reason it failed has nothing to do with blockchain.
Part of the problem is that the technology is not widely understood, and to make matters worse, it is regularly and repeatedly conflated with "crypto" in the media. So much so that most people don't know or indeed care about the difference.
Let's get the record straight – blockchain is not cryptocurrency. It enables the existence of cryptocurrency but has the potential to be applied far beyond bitcoin.
Equally referenced is FTX, which is not a blockchain. It's an exchange that collapsed in November after a wave of withdrawals, failed corporate oversight and the misuse of customer funds.
The CHESS replacement program was not successful because it was a pioneering project that tried to achieve too much in one go with what was, at the time, a nascent technology.
As the public fallout continues, it's important to recognise that a lot of the good work around upgrading the message protocols in the Australian equities market is very valuable and will benefit the equities ecosystem.
It is integral that we don't throw the blockchain baby out with the bathwater. Not all blockchain platforms are made equal, and we should look across all industries before rubbishing and commenting on this architecture.
It's how we at Lygon overhauled an outdated 200-year-old paper-based system with many problems to improve the managing, storing, and updating of physical bank guarantees.
Of course, Lygon isn't alone in using distributed ledgers to create efficiencies and benefits that have never before been possible. It is widely recognised as the gold standard for secure multiparty transactions, managing titles, data transfer, and contract management and audit.
From executing energy supply transitions and documenting emission allowances to protecting the intellectual property rights of music records and keeping individual health data safe – it's no longer viewed as a solution looking for a problem.
Companies are proactively investing in the evolution of the distributed ledger landscape to adapt faster to changing market conditions and consumer needs.
In October, Samsung announced the launch of a security solution that uses the technology to protect Galaxy devices, TVs, and domestic appliances, while Walmart, Carrefour, Unilever and Adidas are already using blockchain-based technology to track their supply chains.
These examples show how distributed ledgers are being used in many industries and locations worldwide to securely share data throughout the network.
A lot of ground was broken by ASX that will ultimately provide key learnings that will benefit the whole market in the future.
I commend the ambition of this project, and I hope it serves as an opportunity for further discussion and a greater understanding of DLT rather than a deterrent to innovation.

A surprise invitation
January 12, 2010 John Quiggin166 Comments
I've just received an invitation from the Brisbane Institute to participate in a debate with Ian Plimer and Lord Monckton. Having seen Plimer's Lateline performance, I can't imagine that this exercise will add much to the sum of human knowledge. OTOH, the event will go ahead regardless. Any thoughts?
Clarification I should say straight off that I have no intention of attempt to debate climate science. Although I'm probably better qualified to discuss the key issues (many of which involve statistics) than either Plimer or Monckton, that' s not saying much. In any case, discussing these issues in a debate format with dishonest antagonists is pointless, as has been shown many times.
So, the only way to approach it is to address the underlying conspiracy theory directly. If Monckton and Plimer are right, all the major scientific bodies in the world are engaged in a conspiracy to introduce communist world government by (drumroll!) auctioning tradeable carbon emissions permits. The question is, can I convince an audience sympathetic to delusionism that this is a really silly thing to believe?
Update Without advising me that my invitation had been withdrawn, the Institute made another invitation, to Barry Brook, who accepted. So, the decision has been made for me. I did, however, think about the approach I might take if I accepted.
I planned to elaborate Monckton's conspiracy theory, announce myself as part of the global conspiracy, and conclude by pointing to Margaret Thatcher (Monckton's former employer) as the originator of the whole thing (she has a great 1990 speech putting forward the case for urgent action based on the precautionary principle). At the end I would have played it straight for a minute or so, asking the audience whether they want to believe this black helicopter nonsense or the alternative that the scientists have it right. Would this have worked? We'll never know.
Regardless, I certainly hope that Barry Brook and Graham Readfearn (the Courier-Mail environment blogger who will also appear on the pro-science side) stick it to Monckton and Plimer for their political axe-grinding, long track record of lies, and general nuttiness, rather than giving this deplorable event any credibility.

Hmm. I just read through the IPCC AR4 Report Chapter on snow and ice cover (which includes the discussion on glacier retreat), and I also scanned through the synthesis report and the summary for policy makers. I couldn't find any reference at all to a claim that Himalayan glaciers will disappear by 2035 (nor any similarly sensational claim).
If this claim is actually in the AR4 report, it must be buried in a pretty obscure place, and it doesn't appear to be in any of the main sections dealing with projected climate changes, the impacts on Asia or the sections on glacier retreat more generally. In any case, if the claim even appears in an IPCC publication at all, it's clearly not a "central claim" in a "benchmark report".
It looks to me like that news story is at best, misleading, and at worst, simply a lie.
Update – an article in the Uk Daily Mail says that the claim appears in Chapter 10 of the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report. it's not altogether clear what they mean by "Chapter Ten of the Fourth Assessment Report", since there are several reports within the AR4 report, some of which have more than ten chapters, and a synthesis report, whichy only has six chapters. I just searched chapter ten of the Working Group I (physical science) report for 'glacier' and then for 'himalaya'. There is, however, plenty of material dealing with glacial retreat, with a large number of scientific references.
I'll try scanning the other working group reports.
Fran Barlow says:
And I can confirm
@Tim Macknay
That in the Synthesis Report 2007 where one would expect to find such a claim, if it had been made, it does not exist. This claim is total nonsense.
At one point a claim is made (p28) that:
Mountainous areas [in Europe … FB] will face glacier retreat, reduced snow cover and winter tourism, and extensive species losses (in some areas up to 60% under high emissions scenarios by 2080) (my insert)
The only other possibly germane reference is at P27
On a regional scale, mountain snow pack, glaciers and small ice caps play a crucial role in freshwater availability. Widespread mass losses from glaciers and reductions in snow cover over recent decades are projected to accelerate throughout the 21st century, reducing water availability, hydropower potential, and changing seasonality of flows in regions supplied by meltwater from major mountain ranges (e.g. Hindu-Kush, Himalaya, Andes), where more than one-sixth of the world population currently
lives. {WGI 4.1, 4.5; WGII 3.3, 3.4, 3.5}
There is no reference to the year 2035 at all.
I found the quote – it is in Chapter Ten of the Working Group II report. It is unfortunate, and rather embarrassing, in part because there is so much other, well referenced, information about glacier retreat in the same chapter, which contradicts it.
By the same token, it is still not a "central claim" in the report, and in fact is not supported by the rest of the discussion of glacial retreat in the chapter, and it does not appear in the summary for policy makers. The Oz story is a beat-up based on cherry-picking a minor error.
@Fran Barlow
This may be the reference Tim …
Glaciers in the Himalaya are receding faster than in any other part of the world (see Table 10.9) and, if the present rate continues, the likelihood of them disappearing by the year 2035 and perhaps sooner is very high if the Earth keeps warming at the current rate. Its total area will likely shrink from the present 500,000 to 100,000 km2 by the year 2035 (WWF, 2005).
Significantly though they don't say that the whole mass of the Himalayan glaciers will disappear by 2035. There's an 80% reduction. And as noted, it's not in the Synthesis Report and much sharper which is odd.
Fran, we crossed over.
Our posts obviously crossed Tim …
Indeed … classic cherrypicking, which does not undermine the basic science. Interestingly, the line on ABC News was that CRU showed that scientists were altering the data to strengthen the case for action on climate change.
Ken Miles says:
By central claim, you mean buried on page 493 of the second report. Nice try.
TerjeP (say Tay-a) says:
It looks like even the cross over comments crossed over. Very amusing.
@TerjeP (say Tay-a)
We'll have to do our own version of that US show Crossing Over
@Ken Miles
It is indeed unfortunate that it's there at all because that kind of forcing in the Himalayas before 2035 would imply absolute carnage in Europe by 2080. Forget 2DegC by 2100, we'd be looking at 7 to 9DegC (which for the record is not out of the question, because we still don't know what the loss of permafrost sinks will do or when exaxtly they will go beyond the point of no return)
Here is the link Ken
"Professor Murari Lal, who oversaw the chapter on glaciers in the IPCC report, said he would recommend that the claim about glaciers be dropped"
http://www.ipcc.ch/publications_and_data/ar4/wg2/en/ch10s10-6-2.html
How does this stuff get all the way into the IPCC report, with peer review and all that?
I'm pretty sure it won't be in the next one!
Chris, you try writing three reports, each hundreds of pages long with a very large number of co-authors and see you can get it error free. That you've had to go through almost five hundred pages to find an incorrect statement is actually a pretty good sign of quality.
The Department of Climate Change website is always good for a laugh. Here's their take on reports produced by the IPCC:
…The reports are subject to an intense peer-review process involving hundreds of scientific experts and government reviewers. This unprecedented level of peer and government review makes this compendium of climate change science one of the most scrutinized documents in the history of science.
It is a ridiculous claim to say that the Himalaya glaciers vanishing by 2035 was a 'central claim'. In the words of that great philosopher disputing an important metaphysical point, "You can not be serious!"
Some minor little error in a massive report and the hysterical deniers latch on it as though it proves something. Are you a complete idiot or are you just trying to nark?
just another troll

MEDIUM 02This product is a medium shade with a slight rose undertone. It goes well with the foundation and powder. Use the powder to blend the concealer in well. It is also not oily. Use your fingers and roll the color between them to get more coverage to apply if you'd want.
Average Customer Review: 4.5 of 5 Total Reviews: 12 Write a review.
Excellent coverage of sun spots. The best product I have found.
Love this product! It is the best concealer stick I have ever found.
I've tried several concealers. This one is by far the best. Covers almost everything well and blends well. The only thing I had trouble with was a dried scab from a wound. Because it was tried and uneven, the concealer caked a bit on the rough spots instead of blending well, but everything else it covers very well and make blemishes and marks almost unnoticeable.
This goes on smoothly and covers fairly well. I use it for undereye circles and general cover-up of small red spots. It wouldn't work for very dark spots, but it's fine for everyday use.
I need cover for dark circles around eyes & this is a good shade & pencil lasts long.

Miami Dolphins Schedule
« LB Roth Misses First Two Days of Camp w/ Illness
TE Martin and Safety Kilmer Held Out of Practice »
Sparano Liking the Efforts of Veteran Jason Taylor
August 6th, 2009 Matt Loede Posted in Features, News
AP has a good article about how Jason Taylor is winning raves from Tony Sparano in camp:
The Miami Dolphins' new linebacker is making a good first impression at training camp.
Jason Taylor might just make the team.
"The guy's a tremendous, tremendous pro," coach Tony Sparano said during the break between Thursday's two practices. "The guy comes out here, he doesn't say boo, he works his tail off, goes a million miles an hour."
Taylor rejoined the Dolphins in May after a year with the Washington Redskins, where he endured an injury-plagued season. At 34 he's the oldest player on the roster, and this is his 12th year with Miami, but it's his first with Sparano.
The coach likes what he sees from No. 99.
"I said this today to the team after practice: Having passion to play this game when you've been doing it for 11, 12, 13 years says an awful lot to me," Sparano said. "I still see the tools out there; I'm seeing more and more each day. I like the progress he is making."
There's a learning curve for Taylor, who finds himself at a new position playing outside linebacker in the Dolphins' 3-4 scheme. He was a six-time Pro Bowl selection as a defensive end, and that's the position he played in 2006, when he was the NFL defensive player of the year.
"There are a lot of things he needs to do still," Sparano said. "Here's a guy who played 13 years, and we're saying that, but it's a little bit different position."
