January 16, 2013 - "Deciding by Default: Lessons in Behavioral Economics" Penn Program on Regulation recently held a Risk Regulation Seminar on legal regulation based on behavioral economics led by Harvard Law professor, Cass Sunstein. Professor Sunstein described the issue with defaulting rules in business contracts, such as insurance plans, phone bills, loans, etc. He talked about the impact of impersonal one-size-fits-all rules for defaulting as well as the pros and cons of more personalized plans where customers can select their own rules for defaulting. Sunstein gives this latter option as a potential choice for future consumers in this new age of individuality and personalization. Professor Sunstein is the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard Law School and served as an attorney-advisor in the Office of the Legal Counsel of the U.S. Department of Justice. Sunstein has also been an administrator at the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Professor Sunstein also served as the keynote speaker at the second Annual Regulation Dinner for the Penn Program on Regulation.

Here's a House Sparrow exhibiting the kind of behavior House Sparrows are known for. House Sparrows are somewhat aggressive little (6") beasties. I cannot explain the blue cast to some of the side feathers on this one.

In various stages of moving toward alternate or breeding plumage. Surfbirds tend to use rocky shores most of the time locally, but I assume these were stopping on the sandy beach during migration northward. They were actively feeding.

These blue and green waste disposal baskets are a shining example of how not to implement behavior change, despite the many underlying good intentions. To their great credit, YCDC's waste management unit played the color-association game very well, with blue meant to be associated with "wet waste" s ...
I found this Northern Cardinal in a tree in our backyard. At first I thought it was dead, and a hawk or something had left it there. But then it hopped up and began to flit around the trees and started to sing. It looked perfectly fine.
I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me what was going on. It was about 95 degrees, so maybe it was something heat-related?
