SUNLIGHT — NOT ACTUALLY EVIL:

Women who stay out of the sun are increasing their risk of developing breast cancer, a new study suggests.

The safe-tanning messages that are drummed into women each year may help to reduce their risk of skin cancer – but at the cost of increasing their risk of breast cancer.

It’s looking more and more like the anti-sun message has been overblown. Have dermatologists been in the pocket of Big Sunscreen?

MY EARLIER POST ON PROSECUTORIAL ABUSE led Prof. Kenneth Anderson to email a recommendation for Arbitrary Justice: The Power of the American Prosecutor, which came out this spring. I’ve ordered a copy myself.

OF PORK AND BRIDGES: Rob Port offers a radical suggestion: “What if some of the money spent for “earmarks” (pork designated by members of Congress for their own districts), was available to actually, I don’t know, fix things?”

HEADING HOME: Did my conference presentation yesterday. Had a nice dinner Thursday night with a bunch of my colleagues plus honorary colleagues (and bloggers) Brannon Denning and Ann Bartow (who blogs at Feminist Law Professors). Saw a lot of people, had a good time, even though it rained the last two days.

THE POLITICO: Democrats are converging on YearlyKos, “And yet the influence of the liberal blogs on the Democratic presidential primary is a shadow of what it was in 2004. “

SO I FINISHED MARK HELPRIN’S A Soldier of the Great War, and I liked it very much. He’s like Neal Stephenson’s more poetical cousin. Or maybe Neal Stephenson is like Helprin’s geekier cousin.

DIGITAL CAMERA SALES CONTINUE TO BOOM: “According to data from CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) camera shipments by CIPA members (the majority of digital camera manufacturers) are up 27% overall in the first half of this year compared to the same period last year. The largest growth coming from DSLRs, a total of 3.5 million units, up some 75% compared to the first half of last year.”

SOME FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS in the shooting of that Oakland journalist:

Firearms linked to the slaying of an Oakland journalist were seized during early morning raids Friday targeting members of a Black Muslim group that operates a chain of bakeries, police said.

Colleagues said Oakland Post editor Chauncey Bailey, 57, had been working on a story about Your Black Muslim Bakery before he was ambushed and killed Thursday morning in downtown Oakland.

Before dawn, officers raided the Muslim group’s headquarters at the bakery and three houses in Oakland. They arrested seven people on charges including homicide, robbery and assault, but it was unclear whether any of those charges were tied to Bailey’s slaying.

“The search warrant yielded several weapons and other evidence of value including evidence linking the murder of Chauncey Bailey to members of the Your Black Muslim Bakery,” Assistant Police Chief Howard Jordan said, adding the raids were part of a yearlong investigation into a variety of violent crimes.

I think that shooting Bailey will turn out to be a serious mistake.

ANOTHER IDIOTIC AND ABUSIVE PROSECUTION: I’m beginning to think that we need a lot more oversight over prosecutorial discretion, and more consequences for its abuse.

UPDATE: Voting machines decertified.

OUCH: “Minnesota Twins postpone groundbreaking for new $1.1 billion stadium due to I35 bridge collapse. Apparently up until this week they didn’t have any more pressing construction projects on which to spend that money.” Found by Radley Balko, who also notes: “Two-thirds of the stadium is publicly funded. The land was acquired through eminent domain.”

It’s all about priorities.
