An aquarium without the mess
When I was a little kid, we had a large fish tank. My memories of it only include a plastic diver guy accessory that moved up and down and a baby shark. I don’t think it was an actual shark, I think it just looked like one. Over the years I tried having my own [...]

A Malibu Beach App Points Toward The Coming Legal Revolution ...
Here?s some distressing news for Southern California?s coastal elite: a new smartphone app called Our Malibu Beaches offers a ?beach-by-beach battle plan? for all and sundry to access beaches claimed as private by Malibu millionaires. The NYT reports that the app will let?hoi polloi in on the 74 percent of Malibu coastline made inaccessible to the public by the ?one percent?:
[?Our Malibu Beaches?] has maps to often hidden entry gates, house-by-house descriptions showing public property boundaries and spine-stiffening advice on dealing with counterfeit no-parking signs (?feel free to enjoy and then ignore?) and threatening property owners (?they?re welcome to call the sheriff?).
This latest escalation in a seemingly never-ending battle is stirring questions of land use, property rights and privilege that have long been a source of tension in Southern California, a fight made all the more alluring because long stretches of beachfront are owned by well-known Hollywood figures, including David Geffen, Michael D. Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg.
As the NYT notes, this is mostly a problem of bad governance. The state law mandating public access to California beaches is poorly enforced: development rights on supposedly public property are frequently granted to homeowners. The California Coastal Commission has been so bad at enforcing state law that twenty miles of Malibu?s twenty-seven mile coastline are now blocked off from the public. So beyond the realm of law enforcement are many of these Malibu homeowners that some have built fake garages and put up fraudulent parking and property signs to stymie public access to their beaches.
Rich people hate it when ordinary people get on their ?private? beaches. Some of their rage makes sense; lots of people don?t behave very well on beaches and leave them covered with litter and trash. Beaches without lifeguards can be hazardous; after a few beers people can lose all sense of caution. Rich people fear getting sued when nature takes its course.
But under provisions going back to English common law and before that to Rome, and incorporated into California law from the time that state joined the Union, beaches are not private property. The ?wet beach?, the land between the average high tide line and the ocean, is public. A lot of the fight in California is about access; under what conditions does the public have access to the beach? Areas with a lot of wealthy homeowners would like to make access as difficult as possible, restricting parking, closing off beach access with fences and walls, and otherwise keeping hoi polloi at bay.
The state meanwhile has been fighting back, trying to require owners to offer ?easements? giving the public access to ?dry beach? above the high tide line and providing easier ways on and off the beach. And there?s an additional wrinkle; in many cases the public has long enjoyed a right of access to the beach even though the land in question was privately owned. A new owner may not have the right to put an end to this.
We are as fond of zillionaires as anybody else, and don?t wish undue distress on the hedge fund titans and movie stars who can afford huge oceanfront estates. More than that, we think the protection of the rights of private property is essential to all liberty. And there are some issues of public safety to bear in mind.
Still, there are some things in life that cannot be bought, and the beaches belong to us all. Our Malibu Beaches is advising the public about its legal rights, and helping people treat illegal ?no parking? and ?keep out? signs with the appropriate contempt and disdain. Far from attacking the property rights of the landowners, it is helping ordinary people understand and use their rights under the law. This is a good thing.
It is also a harbinger of the future. For very little money, ordinary people can use this app to get some very detailed and sophisticated legal information about their rights. There are many other situations in which this kind of knowledge would be useful. Expect many more handy legal apps to be produced outlining your rights in everything from buying a car to discussing your taxes with the IRS.
The law is information; the information revolution is going to give more people access to that information, and it is going to change the relationship of society to the law. Legal information has historically been extremely expensive, and the systems in place to administer and adjudicate legal questions have been slow and complex. One of the biggest consequences of the IT revolution will be a price, time and access revolution in the legal system. Our Malibu Beaches is just a start. A personal attorney is coming to your phone.

U.S. to keep missiles, jets in Jordan amid Syria crisis
NEW YORK (AP) ? Laura Radocaj of Vero Beach, Fla., was warned when she was pregnant with twins that motherhood would be harder than she imagined ? especially because she planned to go back to work while the twins were still babies. "But this has been the easiest transition," said Radocaj, 28, who works from home in corporate communications.

Pulse casually enables LinkedIn sharing, gets comfy in new HQ
LinkedIn's latest acquisition is giving a nod to its new boss: Pulse users can now share news stories with their professional connections. According to the Pulse blog, the tweak is part of a series of collaborations that started when Pulse moved into LinkedIn headquarters, and more updates are on the way. The changes are subtle for now, though -- the only other addition to the app is the ability to add a LinkedIn Influencers feed to your account, which offers content from select contributors and industry leaders. The update should hit the Google Play store shortly, and is due to launch on iOS soon after.

Taking cholesterol-lowering drugs may also reduce the risk of dying from prostate cancer
May 1, 2013 ? Men with prostate cancer who take cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins are significantly less likely to die from their cancer than men who don't take such medication, according to study led by researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. The findings are published online today in The Prostate.
The study, led by Janet L. Stanford, Ph.D., co-director of the Prostate Cancer Research Program and a member of the Hutchinson Center's Public Health Sciences Division, followed about 1,000 Seattle-area prostate cancer patients. Approximately 30 percent of the study participants reported using statin drugs to control their cholesterol. After a mean follow-up of almost eight years, the researchers found that the risk of death from prostate cancer among statin users was 1 percent as compared to 5 percent for nonusers.
"If the results of our study are validated in other patient cohorts with extended follow-up for cause-specific death, an intervention trial of statin drugs in prostate cancer patients may be justified," Stanford said.
"While statin drugs are relatively well tolerated with a low frequency of serious side effects, they cannot be recommended for the prevention of prostate cancer-related death until a preventive effect on mortality from prostate cancer has been demonstrated in a large, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial," said first author Milan S. Geybels, M.Sc., formerly a researcher in Stanford's group who is now based at Maastricht University in The Netherlands.
The study is unique in that most prior research of the impact of statin use on prostate cancer outcomes has focused on biochemical recurrence -- a rising PSA level -- and not prostate cancer-specific mortality. "Very few studies of statin use in relation to death from prostate cancer have been conducted, possibly because such analyses require much longer follow-up for the assessment of this prostate cancer outcome," Geybels said. The potential biological explanation behind the association between statin use and decreased mortality from prostate cancer may be related to cholesterol- and non-cholesterol-mediated mechanisms.
? An example of the former: When cholesterol is incorporated into cell membranes, these "cholesterol-rich domains" play a key role in controlling pathways associated with survival of prostate cancer cells.
? An example of the latter: Statin drugs inhibit an essential precursor to cholesterol production called mevalonate. Lower levels of mevalonate may reduce the risk of fatal prostate cancer.
"Prostate cancer is an interesting disease for which secondary prevention, or preventing poor long-term patient outcomes, should be considered because it is the most common cancer among men in developed countries and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths," Geybels said. "While many prostate cancer patients have indolent, slow-growing tumors, others have aggressive tumors that may recur or progress to a life-threatening disease despite initial therapy with radiation or surgery. Therefore, any compound that could stop or slow the progression of prostate cancer would be beneficial," he said.
The National Cancer Institute, a grant from the Dutch Cancer Society and additional support from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the Prostate Cancer Foundation funded the research.
