The federal government has issued a Notice of Intent?that could potentially remake part of Washington D.C.'s Southwest quadrant, asking the private sector for input to make better use of the agency-heavy quadrant. ?The area, now dominated by superblocks, highways, feeder roads, checkpoints and nondescript, outdated federal buildings that make it feel more like a secure compound than one of the city's neighborhoods, was intentionally erased in the 1950's when urban planners last redesigned the neighborhood and has since faced scrutiny by myriad planners. The government's notice, issued on Friday and calling the area "Federal Triangle South", could be the beginning of the most significant reshuffling of GSA-controlled space in the greater DC area, though the area covered in Friday's issuance is only a small portion of the land dominated by government agencies. ?The notice was also admittedly vague, with no timetable and an official "inquiry" only to be released in 90 days. ?But the space at issue is also part of the "Southwest Ecodistrict," a 110-acre redevelopment zone. ?Along with?the reinvention of the?Southwest Waterfront, now just months away from beginning, and the rebuilding of 10th Street, the redevelopment could herald an entirely new neighborhood, transforming housing, roads, railroad tracks, parks and streetscapes.

The Southwest Ecodistrict, shepherded by the National Capitol Planning Commission, would stretch from Constitution Avenue along the Mall down to the edge of the waterfront. ?But because the land is controlled by a mash of private, municipal and federal entities ("walkability" sites don't even consider it a neighborhood) that make any coordinated redevelopment not unlike herding barnacles, the project has remained in the planning stages. ?The project centers on recreating Maryland Avenue which, like Pennsylvania Avenue, radiates from the Capitol Building, but which has been subordinated to railways, highways and monolithic buildings.

The government's solicitation notes the value of the land and its incongruent underuse:?"Challenges in the Federal Triangle South include older buildings that are driving high operating costs, a backlog of required capital improvements, land use inefficiencies, space inefficiencies, and lack of area amenities...GSA seeks to leverage the value of its real property assets to provide more efficient facilities for Federal Customers and potentially create the catalyst for a revitalization of this area of Southwest Washington."

Challenges abound. ?It is not clear how entire federal agencies could be moved, nor how far the federal government is willing to go toward allowing mixed-use development and relocation of federal agencies. ?But, if the concerned parties permit, the vastness of the area could allow planners to start over much as was done 6 decades ago when the government opted to tear down troubled neighborhoods in favor of a pristine federal enclave.

ScienceDaily (Sep. 28, 2012) ? Many white sharks shift from fish to marine mammals as they mature, but individual sharks show surprising variability in dietary preferences.

White sharks, the largest predatory sharks in the ocean, are thought of as apex predators that feed primarily on seals and sea lions. But a new study by researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, shows surprising variability in the dietary preferences of individual sharks.

The researchers described their findings in a paper published online September 28 in PLoS ONE. They analyzed the composition of growth bands in shark vertebrae to trace variations in diet over a shark's lifetime. Stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen incorporated into an animal's tissues serve as a natural tracer of dietary inputs.

"We did find that white shark diets changed with age, as expected, but we were surprised that the patterns and extent of change differed among individuals," said Sora Kim, who led the study as a UCSC graduate student and is now at the University of Wyoming.

The researchers analyzed vertebrae of 15 adult white sharks that had been caught along the west coast (14 off California and one off Baja California). Sharks in this population consume a wide range of prey, including seals, sea lions, dolphins, fish, and squid. But not every shark eats the same mix of prey, said coauthor Paul Koch, professor of Earth and planetary sciences at UCSC.

"We confirmed that the diets of many individuals observed at seal and sea lion rookeries shift from fish to marine mammals as the sharks mature," he said. "In addition, we discovered that different individual sharks may specialize on different types of prey. These two types of flexibility in feeding behavior are difficult to document using traditional methods, but may be very important for understanding how the population is supported by the eastern Pacific ecosystem and how it may respond to changes in that ecosystem."

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recently announced that it will consider whether to protect the west coast population of white sharks under the Endangered Species Act.

Tagging studies have shown that the white sharks found along the California coast have a regular migratory pattern, cruising coastal sites from late summer to early winter and moving to offshore areas during the rest of the year. While sharks within this population may have predictable movement patterns, the new study shows that there are important dietary and behavioral differences among individual sharks.

The study relied on vertebrae obtained from white shark specimens in various collections. The sharks had been caught at different times and places along the coast from 1957 to 2000. "Interestingly, we do see a small shift in diet as marine mammal populations increased after the passage of the Marine Mammal Protection Act in 1972," Kim said.

In addition to Kim and Koch, the coauthors of the paper include James Estes, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at UCSC, and Tim Tinker, a biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey and adjunct professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at UCSC. This research was funded by the National Science Foundation.

ATLANTA (AP) ? Atlanta police officers broke up an altercation Saturday evening between two groups at the seventh annual BET Hip-Hop Awards, but no arrests were made.

Police spokesman Carlos Campos said officers responded to the scuffle at around 7:30 p.m. in the backstage area of the awards show, held at a downtown civic center. Campos said there were no injuries or shots fired.

Police have not released the identities of those involved in the scuffle.

The altercation took place around the same time as a tribute performance to hip-hop mogul Chris Lighty, who committed suicide last month.

BET officials told The Associated Press that the awards show was not interrupted.

Kanye West, who received the most nominations with 17, didn't attend the event. The show will air on BET on Oct. 9.

Rapper LL Cool J paid homage in remarks to Lighty, who he says helped shape his career and many others in hip-hop. After Cool J spoke, rappers Q-Tip, Fat Joe, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliott and 50 Cent took the stage to perform.

The show was highlighted by several freestyle sessions that included rapper T.I., B.o.B., Snoop Dogg, E-40 and Cassidy. Others who performed included Rick Ross, P. Diddy, 2 Chainz and Future.

Rapper T.I. presented legendary rapper Rakim with the "I Am Hip-Hop Icon" honor. 2 Chainz won the People's Choice award, and Kendrick Lamar came away with Lyricist of the Year award.

It isn't really physically possible (at least, not so far as we know) for a black hole to be considered as a solid physical body. You see, the event horizon isn't the only place where the gravity prevents matter from escaping. Gravity increases until you hit the "outer" part of any body, which means if we assume for a second the event horizon occurs outside all the matter of the former star (which it does), gravity will be slightly more intense inside the horizon. That means that as you travel into the black hole until you reach the outer limit of the physical object itself, gravity will still increase and retain the property of inescapability. What that means is the outer shell of matter can't interact with everything inside, so the normal pressure from electromagnetic and nuclear forces can't keep the outer shell from collapsing inwards (the force literally can't push outwards, since gravity pulls it back).

That means the outer layer of matter will always collapse inwards, closer to the center, and as that happens, the body becomes more dense and the place where gravity forms a horizon extends ever closer to the center of the black hole. Normally, gravity would decrease after you entered the physical body, so near the center of the black hole there should still be a solid physical body where gravity is less than that required to form a horizon, but as the outer layer of the black hole continually falls downwards (it literally can't do anything else), the space near the center where the black hole retains normal physical properties of a star should diminish to nothing.

Another fascinating thing is that at the very center, there should be no gravity at all, by the simple rule of symmetry. But the black hole is ever shrinking towards that spot, so that the density approaches infinity and the entire matter of the star becomes condensed into a point with infinite gravitational force. So the center should also end up with infinity gravity. Which is impossible, or should be. That's why black holes are and always will remain a huge mystery, barring some incredible new scientific revelation that overturns the entire theory of... well, nearly everything.

In other words, for black holes to be treated as solid physical objects, a new force that defies the theory of general relativity (it would have to travel faster than light to allow the matter towards the center of the hole to interact with the matter towards the outer part of the hole) would need to be discovered. And that seems unlikely, although not impossible by any means.

This is the first introductory glimpse at the materials for our upcoming ?Estate Planning for Farmers and Ranchers? CLE webcast to be held next week (October 3rd).

Written by Attorney Jessica A. Bourke

Providing a good plan to clients requires the correct balance of listening to what they are saying, hearing what they are not saying, and understanding what they should be talking about.? That is to say, counseling a client who owns a farm or ranch means respecting each client as a unique planning opportunity while keeping in mind the planning concerns that are generally applicable to farmers and ranchers.

Counseling the Client

Goal setting can be the most complicated part of the planning process, and if this step is not completed comprehensively, then all the legal techniques in the world are not going to allow the plan to execute properly because the plan is not oing to fit the client.? You need to know what it is that you as the attorney are being asked to ?solve.?

On the most basic level, the counselor role is defined by the professional rules of conduct that apply to attorneys.? These may differ in minor ways from state to state, but the general premises are universally applicable. (In Wisconsin, these rules are found in Wisconsin Supreme Court Rules Chapter 20: Rules of Professional Conduct for Attorneys.)? The first question is, who is your client?? The ansewr to this question is essential to practicing within the applicable ethical requirements.? ?The client? is whose interests you are representing, and the person whose voice should be carrying the most weight throughout the planning process.? the client is to whom you owe the duties of confidentiality and due diligence.? (WIS. SUP. CT R. 20:1.3-1.4)? This is the person with whom you should be entering into the representation agreement/engagement agreement/fee agreement. (WIS. SUP. CT R. 20:1.5)

Determining the identity of your client is relatively straightforward when handling a criminal matter, or a personal injury lawsuit, or even a single person estate plan.? However, this can be substantially more complicated when working with owners of farms and ranches.? these are often family businesses with a lot of people who have a lot of interests.? The person whose interests you are representing may not be the same person who has expressed a willingness to pay for your services or the same person who has offered to be a key contact person for phone calls and emails.? Failing to recognize that the decisions of one family member cannot be taken for granted as the decisions of the client could mean violating rules that pertain to conflicts of interes. (WIS. SUP. CT R. 20:1.7-1.8? Violating conflict of interest urles can then lead to formal reprimands, the forfeiture of fees, and/or removal from the representation of either or both clients. For a recent example of this in Wisconsin, see In re the estate of Rebecca Derzon v. Johnson. 2011AP377)

It is beneficial to include other family members in the planning process in addition to the client.? Succession planning requires key individuals who are part of that plan understand the plan, and also requires an attorney understanding of how much heirs are capable and willing to contribute in terms of financial contributions and effort.? heirs may be able to identify the gradual decline of mom and/or dad?s physical and mental capabilities.? On the other hand, mom and day may know best which children are the most financially competent.? Furthermore, other individuals who are not directly part of the plan but have valuable information to contribute, such as accountants and financial planners, are alsouseful people to have at the table.? Inclduing everyone in the conversation may save a substantial amount of time in terms of making sure information is adequately disseminated to all key players in an accurate manner.? This may include keeping that initial referral source in discussions if he or she was the initial troubleshooter.

To make sure the interests of the client are kept at the forefront throughout the planning process, conflict waivers should be utilized and explained to make sure everyone knows who the clients are and what that means for everyone else before any planning takes place (see WIS. SUP. CT R. 20:1.7). If the client grants someone else permission to communicate or receive information on their behalf, channels of communication directly with the clients should still be maintained to ensure that the clients? interests are not lost when others are included in the process (see WIS. SUP. CT R. 20:1.4).? This may mean one meeting with everyone and another meeting just with the clients.? This means figuring out a way to separate a dominant client from a more passive client to make sure both of them are represented fully.? Different attorneys will have different strategies for addressing this issue, but no matter the method, the objective should be the same.

The goal setting part of the estate planning process requires attorneys to utilize the ?counselor? part of the profession.? Farmers and ranchers are generally emotionally invested in the business, rather than looking at their businesses from a detached investment perspective.? An attorney must be able to listen to clients and others and pick up subtle cues regarding family dynamics, as well as the willingness and ability to proceed with a particular course of action.? This means knowing when to ask the hard follow-up questions, or knowing when to question an unenthusiastic response.

Substantive Considerations

Attorneys provide value in terms of understanding the variety of legal techniques and the considerations that are required before proceeding with those techniques.? Clients have often fixated on one or two key concerns that have brought them to your office.? the legal techniques of which they have knowledge depends o n their sophistication with legal matters, but often is based on what their relatives/friends/neighbors have experienced.? Aside from identifying the client and opening those channels of communication with the client, goal setting requires making sure that you have touched ont he possible areas of concern before suggesting a particular course of action with the client.

The following are possible concerns that should be considered regardless of whether the client articulates them as goals:

Providing for owners during their lifetimes.? Consider retirement plans, the cost of long-term care, planning for a surviving spouse, and maintaining a particular standard of living.
Providing for heirs.? Is the point simply to make sure that all the heirs ?get something,? or is there a particular plan of distribution that would make the most sense?? Should all the heirs be included in this process?
Keeping the business in the family.? If the farm/ranch should continue to be run by family members, which family members, and how are they going to make that work financially and interpersonally?
Minimizing financial costs. Minimize taxes on income, gifts and the estate; measure attorney fees versus probate administration fees, protect against creditors.
Ease of administration.? Can key players properly administer a corporate entity and execute installment sales, or will a more straightforward (if slightly less optimal) plan be more likely to be administered effectively?

Some preparation can be done ahead of this meeting through making sure the initial contact with the client is productive.? Providing the client with introductory materials to better understand what planning invovles amay help them be better prepared and have less apprehension going into the initial meeting.? Likewise, asking for information from potential clients ahead of time, such as information on their family, their business and their finances can help you know in general what items will likely need to be discussed at that meeting.? Asking for them to spell out their specific concerns can provide an understanding of what they are expecting out of the initial meeting and the planning proess as a whole.

Telia raised hackles in March when it proposed charging Swedish subscribers extra if they wanted to use voice over IP. On top of the net neutrality issues, the proposed price premium would have been a slap in the face to Skype, the country's homegrown VoIP pioneer. While Telia's Spanish subsidiary Yoigo has no problems with such a split, Telia itself must have had a change of heart: as of now, all regular plans will continue to treat internet telephony as just another set of data packets. Only a new, ultra-basic Telia Flex Bas plan excises the option. Unfortunately, most everyone will have to pay the price for equality -- new subscriptions will have their data plans "adjusted" to compensate for increasing data use, and those paying daily will see their maximum rates jump from 9 SEK ($1.40) to 19 SEK ($2.90). As painful as the price hike might sound, however, we'd still endure it to avoid carving the mobile internet into pieces.

The founder of a national antihunger organization has been charged with bilking the charity of more than half a million dollars and is expected to plead guilty in the coming days, according to The Courier-Journal of Louisville, Ky.

Prosecutors allege Hugh Vanderbilt ?Stan? Curtis stole $183,354 directly from Louisville-based USA Harvest, cashing donor checks or depositing them in his own bank account, and charged the organization for more than $370,000 in personal expenses.

The 63-year-old stockbroker founded USA Harvest in 1989 and has received numerous national honors for philanthropy, including a President?s Volunteer Action Award presented in 1987 by President Clinton. The charity collects leftover items from restaurants, hotels, and stores to feed the hungry and says it has distributed more than 457 billion pounds of food.

Mr. Curtis faces federal charges of mail fraud, money laundering, and filing false tax returns. His lawyer, Scott C. Cox, said, ?I expect the case to be resolved quickly with the government.?

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad addresses diplomats during a session of the General Assembly on the Rule of Law at the United Nations headquarters in New York on Monday.

By Robert Windrem, NBC News

In a meeting with reporters that was billed as an exchange of views rather than a press conference, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad continued his drumbeat of attacks on Israel?s legitimacy on Monday and warned that an Israeli attack on Iran could have ramifications for U.S. bases in the region.

He also pointedly noted that author Salman Rushdie could still face danger as a result of a recently renewed fatwa against him and called the U.S. decision last week to remove the People?s Mujahedin of Iran from the State Department?s list of terrorist organizations a ?gift? to the Iranian government.

Ahmadinejad was in New York for his eighth -- and final ?U.N. General Assembly meeting as Iran?s president. Ahmadinejad, who will exit the presidency in June after two terms, will address the General Assembly on Wednesday.

As he has in the past, Ahmadinejad dismissed Israel both as a threat to Iran and as a legitimate government. Referring to recent military threats by Israeli government officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, over Iran?s nuclear program, Ahmadinejad said that they are not of ?utmost importance? to him or Iran.

?Whether he's bluffing doesn't come into the equation for us,? Ahmadinejad said of Netanyahu. ?Put a map in front of you, an atlas. Iran has been Iran for the last seven to ten thousand years. They've been occupying that territory for 60 years. They have no roots there in history. They do not enter the equation for Iran.?

But while Reuters quoted Ahmadinejad as calling for Israel to be ?eliminated,? the official translation of his remarks indicated that he steered clear of? the fiery rhetoric he is best known for. ??

Reminded ?that he was quoted as saying? several years ago that Israel should be wiped off the map, the Iranian president responded that he only wants Iran's neighbor to change its behavior. ?We say occupation must be done away with," he said. "We say war seeking and war mongering must be eliminated. We say threats must be eliminated.? Threatening manners and ways must be eliminated. Destroying people?s homes on the head of their wives and children must be done away with and eliminated.?

Ahmadinejad added that more important is ?the political atmosphere that allows them to threaten -- and not be condemned for it. Where is the organization that rules the world today that allows them to act so rudely??

Iran subtlety criticized U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon earlier this month for condemning Iranian officials? comments on Israel while saying nothing about Israeli officials threats against Iran. Iran?s ambassador called Ban?s criticism an ?irony.?

Asked whether Iran would go after U.S. targets should Israel attack Iran, Ahmadinejad said that if an attack does come, ?All equations would see a deep change.?

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad discusses freedom of expression, insults against Islam and the fatwa against author Salman Rushdie in a meeting with reporters on Monday, two days before his final address to the U.N. General Assembly as president.

Ahmadinejad also was asked by "New Yorker" editor David Remnick if the fatwa against Rushdie still stood.? The fatwa, first issued by the late Ayatollah Sayyed Ruhollah Musavi Khomenei following Rushdie?s publication of ?The Satanic Verses,? was withdrawn in 1998, but recently, an Iranian religious foundation renewed it an offered $3.3 million to any Muslim who kills Rushdie.

?Where is he now?? a smiling Ahmadinejad repeatedly asked Remnick, who has published Rushdie in the pages of his magazine. ?If he is in the United States, you should not broadcast that, for his own safety.?

The Iranian president also fielded a question about the U.S. State Department?s decision Friday to remove the People?s Mujahedin of Iran, an Iranian dissident group commonly known as the MEK, from the U.S. list of terrorist groups, permitting them to operate freely in the United States.

Claiming the MEK has killed 16,000 Iranian civilians and ?is a terrorist group,? Ahmadinejad said that the U.S. hurt itself with the Iranian people by recognizing a group he said had ?no value.?

?We believe that this action contains response in itself,? he said when asked by NBC News if Iran planned a response to the U.S. move. ?If we wanted to show the double standards in behavior, we couldn't have done it any better ourselves. They gave us a gift. We got result for free. We regret their (State Department) action but should be grateful. They work to our advantage.?

Seldom shy about sharing his opinion, Ahmadinejad nevertheless declined to comment on GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney?s criticism of President Barack Obama for failing to meet with Netanyahu. ?We believe U.S.? elections are a domestic issue and we will not in any way ? take a position,? he said. ?We believe Americans are not war-seeking people and they do wish to have friendly relations with other people.?

Article by Mike Selvon

All marriages have difficulties and marriage issues because life has difficulties and issues. The impact those difficulties have depends on the impact that the couple allows them to have. Some couples will fight and claw one another?s eyes out, others will ignore the issue and bury it, and still others will seek out professional help with various aspects of their marriage. Regardless of the choice of getting through marriage issues, they will always occur.

Many people fight it out when they have conflicts or marriage issues. For some couples, the best possible option is to yell and scream at the top of their lungs until the problem has been ?shouted out?. This can be therapeutic if standards and boundaries are set.

If a conflict becomes physical, however, it will quickly turn dangerous for both parties and can serve as a ?deal breaker? for the entire relationship. Physical conflict is something that should never occur under any circumstances. Divorce marriage is certainly an aspect to consider if physical conflicts begin to take place. Divorce marriage will quickly remove the participants from the situation and possibly save lives.

In other cases, couples choose to ignore the marriage issues and bury them. This generally unhealthy approach can lead to problems down the road, escalating the original conflict. One thing piles up on top of another and, before the participants are even aware of what is happening, there is an explosion of catastrophic impact.

For some reason, people seem to want to test the bonds of their relationships by keeping conflicts and issues hidden. Burying concerns in a marriage will certainly test the bonds, but they will inevitably bring about a breaking point as they grow and boil to the surface. Instead, they should be approached as they occur and a discussion should take place.

Other people will seek out marriage counseling help for their marriage issues. This is viewed differently by many couples. Some will view counseling as a last resort, while others will view it as a first call.

The idea behind marriage counseling is that a third party will hear the problems of the couple and be able to offer qualified objective advice. Many people put a high value on this type of help, but others find it to be redundant because the counselor does not ?know? the couple.

Regardless of the type of conflict resolution used to help with marriage issues, they will rear their ugly head during the course of a marriage. There are many books and other materials that are designed to help couples with conflict resolution skills. Some may turn to therapy, while others ignore the issue. Still others shout the issue out until it is apparently drained from their systems.

The reality about issues in marriage is that they will occur, but the true challenge comes in the overcoming of these issues. If a couple is strong and open, the ability to conquer marriage issues will be present. If they hide issues, however, the ability to overcome the marriage issues may be weakened.

Over time, marriage issues will begin to represent the various ups and downs that all married people experience throughout their lives.
