	August 2003
		Co., 2003 WL 21498685 (N.Y. 2003), the New York Court of Appeals held that the absolute pollution exclusion does not unambiguously apply to preclude coverage for bodily injuries caused by the inhalation of ordinary paint or solvent fumes in an office where the insured was performing painting and stripping work.
		Co., 1 Cal.Rptr.3d 516 (2003), the pollution exclusion at issue was qualified, as it excluded coverage for any pollution unless the damage was caused by a sudden, unexpected, or unintended discharge during the policy period which also caused property damage or bodily injury during the policy period.

	Approaching Mars
		Between now and August, Mars will brighten until it "blazes forth against the dark background of space with a splendor that outshines Sirius and rivals the giant Jupiter himself." Astronomer Percival Lowell, who famously mapped the canals of Mars, wrote those words to describe the planet during a similar close encounter in the 19th century.
		August 27th is indeed the best perihelic opposition since the days of the Neanderthals, but it scarcely differs from other more recent ones.

	OnBackground: August 2003
		Oh, and speaking of the little-heard subject of policy (its August: Congress, the Administration, and most of the pols outside of California, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Louisiana are on vacation), I found Llwewellyn King’s column on the potential causes of the blackouts in his White House Weekly to be thought provoking.
		Word is that local governments around the country, the Congress, and other august institutions are learning just how dependent on the internet we all are.
		Beyond being the publisher and editor of the notable policy/political tip sheet Energy Daily, I don’t know much about King, but the potential that deregulation of the electric power industry and concomitant loss of private investment/responsibility in the grid contributed to the problem was illustrated.

	Our University - Budget Update, August 2003
		When the new fiscal year began July 1 without a state budget, the state controller announced that in late August or September, he would begin implementing a recent court decision requiring that state employees be paid no more than minimum wage when the state lacks a budget.

		Such a trail of clues pointed to Parsons that those investigating the case must have initially expected that they were dealing with a case of identity theft, but from the reports it seems that Parsons had modified and re-released the worm “because he could” giving no thought to the potential consequences for himself.
		On Friday Microsoft changed its DNS so that requests for www.microsoft.com no longer resolve to machines on Microsoft’s own network, but instead are handled by the Akamai caching system, which runs Linux.
