Judge Asked to Render Quick Decision in 'Trouble With the Curve' Suit
Both sides in the dispute over the authorship of Warner Bros.' "Trouble with the Curve" are asking a federal judge to grant summary judgment in the case, in which a college-baseball-player turned screenwriter is accusing Warner Bros. and other defendants of a "conspiracy" to cover up the lineage of the pic's screenplay.
On Friday, attorneys for Ryan A. Brooks, who contend that his idea for a project called "Omaha" was stolen for 2012 Clint Eastwood movie "Trouble with the Curve," filed a motion for partial summary judgment, relying heavily on the opinions of three experts who concluded that not only are the two projects "substantially similar" in "both a qualitative and quantitative respect," but that "these works are in many respects the same story."
"In fact, all three experts opine that the two scripts share countless identical details and even a shocking degree of grammatical and stylistic identities and sequences," Brooks' attorney, Gerald P. Fox, stated in the motion.
Brooks' suit contends that the credited screenwriter for the movie, Randy Brown, was enlisted as an "imposter" writer to cover for its true author, Don Handfield, a writer-for-hire on "Omaha" scripts. Brooks' most recent filing points out that the three experts "opine, unequivocally" that Handfield and not Brown is the true author of the "Trouble with the Curve."
The experts were David Yerkes, professor of English and comparative literature at Columbia; Sheril Antonio, associate dean of the Kanbar Institute of Film & Television at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts' and Richard Walter, chairman of the UCLA graduate screenwriting program.
Earlier this week, Warner Bros. and a group of other defendants filed their own motion for summary judgment, calling Brooks' suit "legally and factually without basis." They cite a"Trouble with the Curve" script that Brown wrote in the 1990s, starting while he was in a screenwriting class at UCLA, and one that sold to The Bubble Factory in 1997. That would predate Brooks' "Omaha" project.
The studio also submitted copies of the script, letters promoting it and a 1997 coverage report.
"This extensive and overwhelming evidence of prior creation -- which refutes any claim of copying under the well-established case law -- cannot reasonably be disputed and shows that plaintiffs' claims of copying are without merit and should be dismissed now, with prejudice," Warner Bros.' attorney, Matthew T. Kline of O'Melveny & Myers, wrote in the filing.
The studio also dismisses Brooks' legal team's claim that the Brown script and other evidence of prior creation was a "fraud," calling the claim "fanciful, conclusory, and legally irrelevant."
Their filing also cited declarations from such figures as Neil Landau, Brown's former screenwriting professor; Gerald Bocaccio, a former Bubble Factory executive who now teaches at New York University; and Scott Cooper, a forensics expert.
U.S. District Judge Dale S. Fischer has scheduled a hearing for Feb. 24.
Other defendants in the suit include Brown, Malpaso Co., director Robert Lorenz and producer Michele Weisler. Clint Eastwood, the movie's star, is not named.

Her first single, A Moment Like This, broke the record for largest leap to #1, shooting from #52 to #1, where it remained for two weeks. The second single, Miss Independent, was also a success, hitting #1 on the US Top 40 Mainstream chart and remaining there for six weeks. Further singles Low and The Trouble with Love Is were released but failed to mimic the success of her previous songs. However, Low managed to become a hit in Canada and reached #2. To date, Thankful has been certified 2x Platinum in the United States, Platinum in Canada and Gold in Australia.
Her second studio album, Breakaway, was released in 2004 and debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 and also at #3 in the UK album charts. It is her biggest selling album to date, selling over 6 million copies in the US and 15 million worldwide, making it the most successful album released so far by an American Idol alumnus.

NAPLES, Fla. - A young couple thought they would never get the chance to have a real wedding. The timing just hasn't been right, but Saturday, they tied the knot.
It was all possible thanks to a local organization that helps members of the military in Southwest Florida.
It was a wedding that was never supposed to happen, but Operation Open Arms made it happen and gave two people the wedding they thought they'd never have... for free!
Grant George buttoned his jacket and fixed his tie, while just feet away, his fiancee Stacy Stevens was also getting ready for the wedding she though would never happen.
Stevens said, "We were going to get married Friday on the courthouse steps and we were told Monday night it's happening Saturday at 6 o'clock."
It's all thanks to Operation Open Arms, an organization that helps Southwest Floridians who are in the military.
George said, "I never imagined that this was going to happen. A couple of days ago we didn't even know what time it was going to be and now here I am, ready to get married."
It's just in time.
"I leave for Korea on August 8th," George said.
Grant's brother Sterling is leaving for Afghanistan next week. He was the best man.
Sterling George said, "I think it's amazing actually. Like my bother said, he was supposed to get married on the courthouse steps and now he's got this amazing wedding."
"It's a 100 percent free wedding in Naples," wedding planner Donna Kordek said, "It's just incredible."
Donna Kordek planned the couples wedding in just four days.
She said, "Every single employee that is here today is here on their own time."
The George's couldn't be happier to start their lives together with this life changing gift from Operation Open Arms.
Stacy said, "I mean it's crazy (laughs) that it all came together quick."
Operation Open Arms has been helping members of the military in Southwest Florida for four years now. The non-profit organization relies only on donations, and now the founder fears he may have to shut it down because the recession has led to a decrease in contributions.

Lil Snupe
"Live From Ghetto Heaven" (Unreleased Freestyle)
Green lit and spitting hard, a previously unreleased freestyle from the late Lil Snupe arrives, and shows us how much more was in store for the rising star.
Hip Hop's tendency for posthumous track releases don't just apply to legends like Tupac Shakur. The burgeoning artist, Lil Snupe, is still spitting bars long after his tragic departure in June 2013 at only 18 years old. A freestyle eerily titled, "Live From Ghetto Heaven," by the Meek Mill protege was released last night proving there might be more Lil Snupe to be heard. Snupe pairs bars with another newcomer Tay as the two take turns to spit in the four minute video. Watching Lil Snupe playfully yet aggressively beat up the beat showcases his hunger and willingness to enter the upper echelon of rap. If only.
MMG's Lil Snupe is just one of many up-and-comers we've lost too soon. Just last month we lost Waka Flocka Flame's brother, Kayo Redd, and T.I.'s Grand Hustle signee, Doe B.

Flames tore through a northwest Harris County home still under construction and arson investigators are looking for a cause.
The Spring Fire Department arrived at a home on Stargazer Point and Naplechase Crest Drive around 2 a.m. Tuesday. Fire crews said the flames were extinguished in about 30 minutes and no one lived at the home.
The Harris County Fire Marshal said they are investigating the cause of the fire since the home did not have electricity.
No injuries were reported.

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - WINK News has new developments on Cape Coral controversial utility project.
Some people have complained, saying the constant roar of trucks and bulldozers lead to cracks in their walls and tile.
Seven different households have logged complaints with the city, blaming construction from the utility expansion project. The project is hooking homes up to city sewer water and irrigation.
Manager Paul Clinghan tells WINK News most of the cracks are minor.
He says vibrations from construction are most likely to blame for some of them but he maintains, further investigation is needed.
"Probably the biggest piece of equipment is the vibratory roller. It prepares the base for the road. That probably, is the one, if any damage was caused by construction, it's probably that," he said.
One case says the construction work detached a rear step from a home. The city says it looks at each claim on a case by case basis. In the end it could come down to the contractor and the homeowner, or each of their insurance companies.
Any work to repair cracks could not be done until the entire project is over
In a letter from the contractor to the city, it states Tetra Tech takes each notification "very seriously, and structure damage caused by construction is hard to prove or disprove."
The city says no homes are threatened because of the project. If you have a comment or concern, call the Citizen's Action Center.

Hollywood can't be set asunder from sequels. The facts that popular characters are more appealing to moviegoers and there is less risk involved in presenting a follow-up rather than releasing new film have attracted more and more filmmakers to bring out one sequel after another whenever a movie performs well with the audience.
Such is happening in 2010. The year will see many of best movies from previous years springing out with sequels in competition to dominate the box office. From the hilarious "Meet the Fockers" to the action-packed "Iron Man" and from children's series "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" to terrifying "Scream 4", they all get the chance to present more stories and adventures in the life of people's beloved characters.
With those sequels being offered, AceShowbiz compiles only the 10 not-to-be-missed ones in the upcoming 2010. Each sequel listed weighs on how the original films performed after they were released in theaters as well as what the sequels themselves have to offer this time around. Some of the discussions may contain spoilers from previous films.

Album Rating: 3.5this isnt even really a summer album tho
Digging: Panda Bear - Mr Noah
am i the only one who can't get into this album at all??
Album Rating: 4.5Ponytails on fellas are shite.
Ponytail on this is classic.
Digging: King Buzzo - This Machine Kills Artists
Album Rating: 4.0when my soul starts growwwwwingggggg
irongiant, ponytail is the point of entry for this one dude
this is like that sunny water-park album where you're exhausted from swimming
but still feel hydrated cause up you've been in that h2o all day kind of jam
Album Rating: 4.5I wish it never would stop growing.
Aaaaahhhh Bliss.
Better than Animal Collective for me.
Album Rating: 4.0yeah i used to think so as well
have you heard every ac release?
Album Rating: 4.5No dude only MPP, Centipede, Jam and the Tongs one or whatever their called.
Too all over the place for my liking.
Album Rating: 4.0hmmm well all their releases are kinda all over the place, but that's the selling point for me
if you dig this you should DEFINITELY check out strawberry jam and water curses
could possibly love them more than person pitch!
water curses is massively underrated/unknown, check out the song safer from that era of their
development as well - it has lush/vibrant vibes kinda in the same vicinity as this. plus, STREET
strawberry jams' vocal progression is disgustingly fun. like, i can't spin it without wanting to
sing out loud anywhere kind of fun. plus there's tons of rad sampling and my favorite single from
them (fireworks)
water curses: http://youtu.be/ssMSXXwRfWM
strawberry + safer: http://youtu.be/goOFD04FjGk
Album Rating: 4.5Nice handy link.
Will do man.
Album Rating: 5.0No way SJ comes close to this but it still rules
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound OffThis album was my entry into electronic music.
fucking perfect
Digging: The Smith Street Band - Throw Me in the River
Album Rating: 4.0this is mesmerising
i mean no offense to you but grow up, can't you just grow up?
i know i'm being way too hard, but i know that i'm trying
relate very strongly to bros i can hardly even listen to it because the feelings are so overwhelming
Album Rating: 4.5Best AnCo-related album
Digging: The KLF - Chill Out
Album Rating: 3.5theres at least like 6 that are better
Album Rating: 5.0naw
Album Rating: 3.5basically everything other than centipede manatee and campfire tbh

After 100 miles no oil. The garage told me I needed a new oil plug, another oil change....about 30 miles no oil. Brought it back to them and they said it was burning the oil.!!! How can a car go 30 miles and burn that much oil? They said it was not leaking and my muffler had black soot which they said means it is burning it. What do you suggest?

The busybody, fascist fems are muscling in on the NFL, in an attempt to neuter one of the last vestiges of masculinity in American sport. Prosecute/arrest anyone who commits a felony against anyone in the NFL and elsewhere. Otherwise, fuck off fascist fems.
Below are the more ridiculous, histrionic headlines aired by the CNN nitwork on an incident that the parties—husband and wife—had resolved to the satisfaction of the only parties that matter: husband and wife.

Chaos Crystal 2.0.001
The advantages of being portable
Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn't leave any traces in the Windows Registry.
You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to alter the transparency for any running utility on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.
Simple looks and basic features
You are welcomed by a minimalistic window that offers only a few configuration settings to tinker with. The tool gives you the possibility to choose the window that you want to make it transparent by selecting it from a drop-down list.
It automatically detects the programs that are currently running on your computer, so you can easily choose the one that you want to process. Additionally, you may drag a small circle on the target utility.
Setting the transparency for the current utility proves to be a child's play, as Chaos Crystal offers support for a built-in slider. You may opt for a total transparency up to complete opacity.
The lack of configurable settings makes it an ideal app for rookies, who don't want to spend a lot of time tweaking many dedicated parameters. During our testing we have noticed that Chaos Crystal carries out a task quickly and no errors showed up throughout the entire process. As it would be expected from such a small utility, it remains light on system resources, so it doesn't hamper computer performance, nor interfere with other programs' functionality.
Bottom line
All in all, Chaos Crystal offers a simple software solution when it comes to helping you set the desired transparency for any active application.

What's the word I'm looking for? Um..... Yowsers! Yeah, that's it. Yowsers!
Christina Ricci showed up to the premiere of her new movie Black Snake Moan in a very slinky, very sexy purple dress, and she looked, well, Yowsers!
Even her boyfriend, actor Adam Goldberg got in on the photo-taking action with his camera phone. No word on whether that camera phone was used for any private photo fun, but I'm sure it was.
Now say it with me: "Christina Ricci sex tape". According to Oprah, if you send out those thoughts into the Universe, the Universe will respond in kind. Sounds stupid, but people say it works, and in this case, I really hope it does.
Tons more Christina Ricci pictures after the jump.

URL: http://british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=22290 Date accessed: 24 November 2014.
(Min 3 characters)
During the Middle Ages the people of
Twickenham used the mills attached to Isleworth
manor. (fn. 84) In the 14th century one of these was a
windmill, (fn. 85) which may have stood on the site of a 17th-century windmill in Twickenham parish. This
stood on the edge of the heath east of the junction
between the present Percy Road and Hospital Bridge
Road. (fn. 86) It disappeared between 1675 and 1743. (fn. 87)
There was also a medieval mill on the Crane at a
place called Oldford which seems to have been near
Hanworth Bridge, (fn. 88) perhaps close to the site of the
later Hounslow Powder Mills. (fn. 89) This mill appears to
have been partly in Isleworth manor (and Twickenham parish) and partly in Hanworth. It disappeared
between 1340 and 1351. (fn. 90) In 1486 Elizabeth York (fn. 91)
owned a mill-house with querns which probably
stood on part of the later manor-house grounds. (fn. 92)
After the Duke of Northumberland's River had
been constructed in the 16th century, two mills were
built on the reinforced stretch of the Crane in Twickenham. (fn. 93) The first of these was referred to in 1753
as the New Mill: (fn. 94) it stood where Mill Road crosses
the southern stream of the Crane by the former
Fulwell Park. (fn. 95) It may possibly have been used for a
while as a copper mill, but by 1767 was an oil mill. (fn. 96)
In 1799 part of the buildings had formerly been used
for drying tobacco and part had been erected as a
windmill. (fn. 97) Linseed oil and cattle-cake were made at
the mill in the late 18th century and the early 19th,
and between 1845 and 1865 it was converted to papermaking. (fn. 98) This also seems to have been given up
fairly soon afterwards and the mill had gone out of
use by 1880. (fn. 99)
The second mill was higher up the river on the
east of Hanworth Bridge. It was built in or shortly
before 1757 as a corn-mill and was converted to the
manufacture of gunpowder in 1768. (fn. 1) It was at this mill
that explosions occurred which periodically killed
workmen, frightened the neighbourhood, and broke
windows for miles around. (fn. 2) In the effort to mitigate
the effects of blast, the buildings were spread over
wider areas in the 19th century until the mill site
covered much of the land between Powder Mill Lane
and the river. (fn. 3) Edmund Hill (d. 1809), who was joint
lessee in 1768 and later sole lessee, (fn. 4) was reputed to
have made £800,000, chiefly by exporting gunpowder to Turkey and trading there. (fn. 5) Messrs. Curtis
& Harvey leased the mills in 1820, and bought them
outright from the Duke of Northumberland in 1871. (fn. 6)
The mills stopped work in the 1920's, and part of
the site was built over, while the riverside became
part of Crane Park. (fn. 7)

5. I didn't know what happened at the fashion show until Melissa told me outside. That is when it all came together, and I remembered that this is what Teresa wanted me to out Melissa with when she first came on the show.
6. After the fashion show, my mutual friend of Teresa's told me that Teresa told her two weeks before the fashion show that Melissa was getting set up.
7. Teresa never warned Melissa of anything, even after she filmed at the salon earlier that day. Instead, she waited and asked Melissa about it on camera later that night at the fashion show.
8. I was upset and disgusted that Teresa tried to put it on me, when I had absolutely no motive for wanting to hurt Melissa and she knew that. I like Melissa very much, and I would never be involved in a plan to hurt her. I was trying to get through the rest of filming without any more drama. That's why I chose not to fight any more in California and shut down even after I heard Teresa talking behind my back. Teresa knew I had nothing at all to do with Melissa's set up but that she and Kim D. both did. That is why Teresa was never upset with Kim about it and still continues a friendship with her.
9. I have proof that Teresa knew about the set up, but I cannot legally share it, so I can no longer reference it. Teresa is aware of this.
10. The bald guy was caught on camera saying that Kim and Teresa BOTH knew. As SOON as I knew, I went to warn everyone. (Even though it had already happened by the time I found out.) Teresa never even tried to warn anybody at any time.

Miley Cyrus Reveals Her Braby Mischalova at . Updated at . Comments
It's one of the most heated debates on The Hollywood Gossip:
Does Miley Cyrus pose for pictures that are too racy for a girl her age?
In the past, we've posted shots of the Hannah Montana star in her underwear and in quasi girl-on-girl action. Now, here's the latest Miley Cyrus picture that may create controversy:
Miley Cyrus is green with envy, and a bra. Is this inappropriate for the young actress?
honestly i dont think its inappropriate. everyone needs to give miley a freaking break. gosh she isnt doing anything wrong. she is being a teenager. thousands of teens do this stuff everyday it just isnt pointed out because theyre not famous. i support miley and i think she is great, so what they are photos get over it. some of the photos are probably photoshopped. its not that hard to photoshop a picture people. gosh leave her alone and move on to a subject that is actually bad.
why are people so obessed with stuff like this. Yes she has young fans who look up to her, but you think she wants this up here. Half of all the other pictures are fake, her look alike. Her look alike could just be taking these adn adding her face in, with the technology these days it isnt' a surprise.
oh my god, how perfetic all she has done is shown her bra big woop.
I just want to know where the Miley look-a-like got her green bra. It's VERY cute! And by the way, even though it's not Miley in the pics whoever said that that's how 15+ year old girls act was TOTALLY RIGHT. They do act that way. It's just how girls that age express themselves. It's real and it's just how they are at that age and sometimes even when they get older. For all the people that are shaming the look-a-like girl, perhaps they're just jelous because they don't have the guts to take pics like that. All women want to feel sexy. What's the harm in taking a few risque pics as long as you're not nude?! Anyways though, that's just my opinion. And I'm not saying that if I saw pics like that of my lil sister whom is turning 16 in just a few days that I wouldn't be mad. But I have to remember that I was once that age too. Nobody is a complete angel. ~* Jen *~
I like the bra it suits her.
well i think miley is goin through a ruff time with this too. so u dont have to say bad stuff about her.
Well, first off, those who are in denial that..that is not her..get over it..because that is her. When you looks up "Just Jard-miley bra pics" you see its clearly her..on her bed...with some other guy. I'm 13 years old..and a girl..and i have never once done anything like this..nor think i would. its nastey and wrong. and for her to do this..is sick. My little nieces and nephew looks up to her, and thinks shes a god, what happens when they find this nonsense? I was in total shock when i saw these pictures, because it was not accepted. I understand Vanessa Hudgins, shes a total slut..but Miley? Come'on...the angel sent frm above? You've become one of the biggest disappointments..mainly to your fans. i undertsnad you want to feel "cute..or "sexy" but this is clearly not the right way...i know that i'm beautiful, and i dont need pictures with boys...or with my bra showing to prove it. =/
it is really her, but so who cares, you are all like she's got kits who look up to her, but then don't put it on her, all the people who looks at this and pays attention to it is to blame and the only reason is such a big deal "Is Miley" well get real, you should stop critisicing adn judging her and start being good role models yourselves, IT IS REALLY EASY TO SEE SOMEONE ELSES MISTAKES, BUT WHEN WE ARE THE ONES IN STICKY SITUATIONS THEN WE ALL PLAY VICTIM, which she doesn't that much or never at any time before when in this situation, oh and she's not lying across a boy on a BRA, she's got her shirt lift, and you can see her tummy and she is just a teenager she is gonna make lots more of mistakes, but with her head and a family like hers she's sure to stand up and achive a whole lot more
it doesnt even look like her that much :/ yeah people do this at their age, but seriously its pretty slutty even if its normal...

One man in Pueblo is dead, and the suspect is in the hospital with serious injuries, police say.
This happened just before 2:00 AM at the 7-11 at 905 E. Northern Avenue. Police say the suspect approached his ex-girlfriend, who was with another man, and drew a gun. He shot the man multiple times before fleeing in his car.
Police say the suspect then crashed his car around 1100 E. Northern and was ejected, suffering serious injuries from the crash. He's now in the hospital being treated.
The other man has died from the gunshot wounds, say police.
The investigation is ongoing; the names are being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

How To Measure Conversion Rates
Posted By Jeffrey Eisenberg On January 27, 2005 @ 4:50 pm In Conversion Rates | 3 Comments
Conversion rate measures the number of visitors who took the action you wanted on your site divided by the total number of visitors. Every end-goal conversion (Macro-conversion), like a purchase, is composed of Micro-conversion points, like the click-through path in a shopping cart. In order to achieve the Macro-conversion a series of decisions has to be taken by the visitor, these clicks are measurable evidence of those decisions.
Only when you define and plan for Macro-conversions vs. Micro-conversions then you can understand why conversion rate is truly a measure of your ability to persuade visitors to take the action(s) you want them to take. It's a reflection of your effectiveness in planning for every decision and the customer's satisfaction with your plan's implementation. Since every click represents a person making a decision then for you to achieve your goals, visitors must first achieve theirs first.

This February, I watched all 76 episodes of Friday Night Lights.
Somehow—despite the facts that I live in Texas and loved the movie and care about sports and am obsessed with small-town culture—I never got it together enough to watch it when it was actually on the air. I'm part of the problem of why the critically-acclaimed show long struggled in the ratings and for that I must find a way to forgive myself.
But then there came that one insomnia-ridden night in February when, adrift on Netflix, I clicked on the pilot episode. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Kyle Chandler's coach Eric had the weight of the world on the shoulders of his blue coach's jacket and Connie Britton, who plays his magnificent wife, Tami, had this unicorn's tail for hair and suddenly the quarterback was in the hospital and there was this guy Riggins who had these humongous shoulders and he blamed himself for the accident and he didn't appear to have any parents and Explosions in the Sky was playing in the background…
And so began a strange couple of weeks in which I'm reasonably sure I showered and my young child was fed. "They're all my friends and family and nothing makes sense to me when I'm out in the bright of day," I told somebody who worried over the amount of time I was spending in my Friday Night Lights alternate universe.
Sometimes when I mentioned to people that I was deep into the show they'd make the mistake of saying they were fans too and I'd overwhelm them with overly impassioned play-by-play. How much did your heart swell when Riggins' dad showed up at the game? Don't you love it when Coach Eric gets Tami more wine? Aren't you impressed by how they never drink and drive? Ugh, Julie. Grandma Saracen will be okay, don't you think? Remember that time Coach Tami told Tyra to spike the volleyball right into Riggins' throat? Or that time we got every angle of Riggins doing a round of back squats? Would you say your favorite supporting character is Mindy Riggins or Smash's mother? Can you too recite Tyra's UT application essay? Ugh, Julie. Panthers or Lions, or is that Sophie's Choice? Skeeter!
I got used to people backing away from me slowly, saying that it had been a while. And they called themselves fans! READ FULL STORY

Bravotv.com: What have you been up to?
Gail Simmons: I'm just back from the South Beach Wine & Food Festival where I spent three days eating burgers on the beach and other delights. That's also why I had no time for anything. I'm just happy to be home for a short period before I leave again. i am heading to Napa for another event in a week.
Bravotv.com: With the Quickfire Challenge, the five remaining chefs were brought on a boat with Dan Barber, of all people, judging a concession challenge. What did you think about Dan Barber judging this challenge?
GS: Poor Dan Barber. I can only imagine what he thought! But it was kind of a fun challenge, and really stressful for all of them. It was interesting to watch what they came up with. I thought at first that they'd all come up with the exact same thing, but they ended up coming up with very different dishes. Some of it was sort of pedestrian, like Tiffany's nachos, but then there was Richard's really creative use of hot dogs. It was nice that Carla won. Dan Barber liked the one thing that was natural and fresh, which he got in Carla's dish.
Bravotv.com: Would you have eaten Mike's bread soup?
GS: I mean it looked disgusting, but that's my job, so yes. I don't have a choice in the matter, so I would have tasted it if I had to. It looked horrendous though.
Bravotv.com: For the Elimination Challenge, everyone got a portfolio on his or her family history at Ellis Island. What did you think of that and the revelation that Mike and Antonia are related?
GS: I remember the next day when we went to the dinner and they told us they were cousins. I was just blown away. I think it's sort of extraordinary, and it speaks to the fact that we all really have more in common than you assume, no matter where we're from, no matter where we're raised, or what are roots are. It really is a small world after all. It's amazing really, and so much about what America is, people who immigrated here from all over the world for very different reasons, but who all share a common dream of a better life. I think finding out where they are all from, whether it be Louisiana, Italy, or Ireland, and seeing such diversity in their backgrounds, proves there's no such thing as a purebred. We're all sort of mutts. I think that is why we're all unique and special and why this country has the energy and spirit that it does, because we all bring so much from our heritage to it. I think that it was really powerful to see that and see how food is so intrinsically woven into everyone's culture. When you think of all of these different places – the South, Italy, and Ireland -- you have such strong food associations because of this link between food and history.

PHOENIX (AP) - Jodi Arias is due back in court this week as attorneys prepare for a second penalty phase.
Arias was convicted of murder last year for the 2008 killing of her lover in Arizona, but jurors couldn't reach a decision on a sentence.
Under state law, while her murder conviction stands, prosecutors have the option of putting on a second penalty phase with a new jury in an effort to secure a death sentence.
If the second panel fails to reach a unanimous decision, the death penalty will be removed from consideration. The judge then would sentence Arias to spend her life behind bars or be eligible for release after 25 years. The second penalty phase is set for September.
Arias is back in court on Friday for a hearing.

what, exactly, are the police maximizing?
Last week, discussed how police interact with urban communities and the hypothesis that police are rewarded for focusing on the drug trade and they are less rewarded for just keeping the peace. Once commenter asked: what are the goals of the police? What are they trying to maximize?
Upon reflection, I realize that I had no idea, but I could generate some hypotheses:
- Income/salaries
- Department budgets
- Violent crime
- Non-violent crime
- Property crime
- Victimless crime
- Social control (i.e., controlling specific populations)
- "Broken windows" – making certain locations look desirable
- Self-image
- Votes (for D.A.'s especially)
I'd be interested in any data show the relative importance of these goals, say, in police budgets, arrests, prosecutions, police hours, etc. Criminology readers – how would you rank these goals given your knowledge of the field?

ukraine, finland, and russia
It has recently been revealed that Russian/separatist forces are taking more territory in the Ukraine. What to do? There are few good options. Russia is so massive compared to neighbors. But history does have one example of semi-successful defense from Russian/Soviet incursion – the Winter War of 1940, when Finland resisted (sort of) a Soviet invasion.
Organizationally, the issue is that the Finns were simply outnumbered and had to build a new strategy to deal with that fact. The solution was to (a) exploit the geography, (b) come up with innovative tactics, and (c) preserve your own while maximizing enemy casualties. For example, the Finnish air force developed the novel tactics where they would refuse to defend and focus on attack; novel mining techniques (Finns learned how to put mines in frozen lakes); hijacking radio frequencies and misdirecting Soviet planes; and exploiting the Finnish geography with well placed garrisons and snipers.
The legacy of the Finnish war is ambiguous. According to the wiki, they inflicted massive casualties on the Soviets, forcing a settlement. But still, the Finns suffered enormous losses. Helsinki was bombed. Almost a thousand civilians died, nearly 26,000 soldiers perished in a short three month war. The Finns also saw, as the Ukrainians do today, that there is limited help from the rest of the world.
The lesson is hard to extract. Finnland's Winter War is the best outcome among many wars of aggression on the Russian border. Perhaps it would be better to do as the Georgians did and try to minimize the conflict. Regardless, the Ukraine is in for some very difficult times.

the complete failure of colin powell
One of the very first posts I ever wrote for orgtheory is an analysis of the Powell doctrine, which says, roughly, that you should only engage in war if you have over whelming political support and firepower. I thought the Powell doctrine was a mess from an organizational perspective:
For an organizational theorist, there's a broader lesson about group learning – things go bad when managers prepare for situations where it is easy to prepare, rather than prepare for situations they are likely to face.
The reason that the US armed forces relied on the Powell doctrine of overwhelming numbers and superiority of force was that they allowed political concerns to drive the kinds of situations they analyze and train for. Specifically, the Powell doctrine was a response to the post-Vietnam desire to avoid ill defined, long term conflicts with guerillas…
This is like corporate managers preparing for competitors that are easy to understand and that they have experienced already, instead of preparing for competitors they are likely to encounter. The Powell doctrine essentially says: "We only become involved in cases where we can decisively win and thus our preparations will be geared towards these situations." Instead, the doctrine should probably be "we'll cultivate tools for the situations we'll likely encounter and develop capacities for improvisation and learning in vague and ill defined environments."
Eight years later, I feel justified. The US armed forces have been asked to do all kinds of crazy things that only fit Powell doctrine on occasion. For example, the 2006 Surge doesn't quite fit, or the "muddling through" that we're doing in Iraq right now. In other words, the Powell doctrine was a reactionary response to the mismatch between Cold War forces and the reality of Vietnam. Good doctrine doesn't emerge from one encounter. Instead, you have to be honest and admit that Presidents will ask the armed services to do all kinds of things that aren't well thought out.

soviet deep battle doctrine: policy so bad it's good
A while back, I got into reading about Soviet "Deep Battle" doctrine. Here's the Wiki summary:
Deep battle encompassed manoeuvre by multiple Soviet Army front-size formations simultaneously. It was not meant to deliver a victory in a single operation; instead, multiple operations, which might be conducted in parallel or successively, would induce a catastrophic failure in the enemy's defensive system. Each operation served to divert enemy attention and keep the defender guessing about where the main effort, and main objective, lay. In doing so, it prevented the enemy from dispatching powerful mobile reserves to this area. The Army could then overrun vast regions before the defender could recover. The diversion operations also frustrated an opponent trying to conduct an elastic defence. The supporting operations had significant strategic objectives themselves and supporting units were to continue their offensive actions until they were unable to progress any further. However, they were still subordinated to the main/decisive strategic objective determined by the Stavka.
In other words, if you're big, sit on the enemy.
Now, this is interesting for a number of reasons. First, most modern armies, starting after WWI, have not relied much on raw size. Instead, most Western states field armies that have strived for mobility. The German blitzkrieg is an example. Today, the US armed forces are striving toward smaller groups that have multiple capabilities (air support combined with infantry). Second, the Soviet military sector was not known for its innovative theory. In fact, Soviet deep battle theory is so odd that it has inspired its own cottage industry of commentators.
The most interesting take on Soviet deep battle is by Earl Ziemke, in a 1983 issue of Parameters, a journal of the War College. Ziemke makes the following arguments:
- SDB was not really implemented since its creators were killed in the purges of the 1930s.
- The USSR's biggest victory, the battle of Stalingrad, was actually a case of modern maneuver warfare. The Red Army won by encircling the Nazi army and essentially starving it to death.
- SDB was only implemented (barely) in late WW2 when a massive Red Army was steamrolling through Eastern Europe.
- After WW2, SDB was dropped as the Red Army retooled for nuclear war.
So here's my take on deep battle. At first, you have a theory that is shaped by contingency. You have a big massive army, so you build a theory about drowning the enemy. Then, the the theory fails early in WW2. It's proponents are murdered and what's left is useless. Then, by chance, a situation arises where SDB makes sense. Once that passes, SDB is praised in order to make the victory homegrown and logical rather than accidental. Once history moves on, the theory is quietly dropped and SDB becomes the province of military historians in needs of something to say about the cryptic Soviet military. Bottom line: Zombie policies keep historians employed.

I'd be a more savvy scalp therapist or masseur, or I could learn to inherit the ability to become a mustache stylist. The military seems to be a rewarding career path, and it secures financial necessities also. I hope I don't return with a hunched back, a smell of grog upon my chest, and a face that is sure to tell horrible stories of the untamable blue yonder. I've always adored the ocean though, from afar into its horizon.
How about you, Zevzi! What's been happening with you during the time that's passed?
No it was not last year sometime, it was the other day! lol You don't like eating dehydrated meats, wearing plaid? Sometimes I feel like I don't know you at all.
What! You are joining the Navy, that is no fun. And how I'm I going to talk to you when you join the Navy? I really think you should just be a hair dresser instead.
I plan to be more active here, because I realize that everyone returns at some point and when they do I will get to talk to my friends that I had made here. I just wish the forum was in better shape.
Did the "other day" happen to be last year sometime? I uploaded a gaggle of videos during the last few months of 2011. My most current upload was a promo that vaguely conveys the biggest project that I'll be creating thus far. A beard? Hmmm, that's a more suitable look for a man who likes to only eat dehydrated meats or chopping large amounts of wood wearing plaid from head to toe.
I won't be replacing Dog with any other show, that was just a project to sort of mute my boredom. After these projects are finished and main to my channel I'll be joining the Navy. I've missed talking to you, Zev. You were always of the few pleasantries I knew here. If you'll be more active I know it'll be worth doing the same myself.
You think I am polite, tehehehe.
Did you find a new show yet to replace your Dog the Bounty Hunter yet? I stopped by your youtube channel the other day and there were not any new videos so I thought that you must have given up on parkour. I guess your just waiting until the end of the year then. Any plans for a full beard in the future?
It's cool, I'm glad to see you're still active though too. This site couldn't afford to lose such a polite user as yourself. Yeah, the Dog show aired its final episodes a couple weeks back I believe. Months before that though I discontinued my filming recaps on the current season, so a bit of pain for the show's cancellation. It was sort of expected considering these minute family clashes that were taking place and how Dog's most well-known sons (Leland and Duane-Lee) decided to disband from their father's company. Though, the parkour is still quite alive. Been hard at work creating some very large projects set to release towards the end of the year. And my mustache, t'is maturing and becoming peppier.
Sorry it took almost a year for me to reply, time goes by faster the older you get it seems. lol
I don't watch Bridezillas anymore. I saw that Dog the Bounty Hunter got canceled, how did you deal with it? I remember you really liked that show alot! You still doing parkour stuff? You still growing a mustache? Haha
AO has almost no activity going on, it is sad. However just look at the brightside, since there is less people we can make it our own little private forums to do whatever we want. ^_^
Zev, it's been a huge while. I messaged you last year but you never got back to me.
Anyways, I hope you've been well and enjoying re-runs of "Bridezillas", I believe that's what you liked in terms of televised entertainment. This place isn't all that I used to enjoy. Faint frequencies of activity, very little traffic, sad sort of. You've always been the one mod I liked the most.
Thanks for dropping me a message, Zev. Hope to read from you more often.
I'm surprised to see you still around here, I had thought all the good members left. ^_^
Hey, how have you been, good, that's good. I've been fine, whatcha been up to, not much, me neither. So this website's pretty cool, huh, what do you think, I think....so. What's up?
Perhaps they are trying to better their skills? lol No one really knows, its not important why.

NEW YORK Esmark Steel Group LLC, Chicago Heights, Ill., has entered into an agreement with Partners in Steel International LLC to sell its special bar quality (SBQ) assets as the service center effectively exits the steel bar business.
The purchase of the assets, inventory and other equipment at Esmark subsidiary Chicago Steel & Iron Bar was finalized late June 6 for an undisclosed amount, according to Partners in Steel, which said the terms of the deal were in the multi-million-dollar range, a figure that was confirmed by Esmark.
As for the future of Chicago Steel & Iron Bar, the company will be dissolved within the next week, according to James P. Bouchard, chairman and chief executive officer of Sewickley, Pa.-based parent Esmark Inc.
"One of the reasons for the sale is because Esmark is exiting the bar business. Our focus will be on the flat-rolled side, which has kind of been our expertise for years," Bouchard told AMM. "Obviously, our next focus will be getting Yorkville (Ohio) fired up and ready for the 2014 tin season."
Esmarks Yorkville facility, originally part of defunct steelmaker RG Steel LLC, will supply substrate to Ohio Coatings Co., a 50-50 tinplate joint venture with Seoul, South Korea-based TCC Steel Co.
Bouchard said that while the bar business had been relatively resilient despite a softer steel market, it recently suffered from shorter lead times and oversupplied markets. "Its just a different type of business than what were used to in the flat-rolled side," he said. "We got uncomfortable with the bar side because its just not in our expertise. We built (Chicago Steel & Iron Bar) up from scratch and deployed a tremendous amount of working capitalapproximately $30 millionand didnt have the returns we expected."
But while Esmark continues to focus on the flat-rolled side, Partners in Steel managing director John D. Foster said that the future looks bright for the bar market. Foster, a former president and chief executive officer of steel trader Coutinho & Ferrostaal Inc., created the consulting, marketing and investment services company in 2011.
"Were not buying the company, but were buying certain assets of it. I see significant value in specialty steels. I think the challenge in the sector has tremendous upside potential," Foster told AMM.
Foster declined to specify what the purchased assets will be used for, but confirmed that he will not be entering the distribution business himself and instead advising further transactions.
"I think the market has reached a turning point. Were buying at a time when theres a lot of upside potential," he said.
