Topic: Van Jones
The Unraveling of the New York Times's 'Citizens United Scandal' Story
Liberal advocacy group Common Cause has filed a DOJ petition against Justice Antonin Scalia and Justice Clarence Thomas, claiming that the justices' attendance at a Koch Industry event represented a conflict of interest in last year's Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission Supreme Court case. The organization wants the justices to retroactively recuse themselves from the case and for the Court to vacate its decision.
But while the New York Times tried to portray Common Cause's petition as a serious legal challenge this morning, the holes in the group's allegations have continued to grow as the day has progressed.
Common Cause argues that the Koch brothers "were among the main beneficiaries of the Supreme Court's decision in the Citizens United case," and by attending Koch-sponsored events, Scalia and Thomas could have had their votes influenced:
Common Cause said in its petition to the Justice Department that if either of the justices appeared before Mr. Koch's group between 2008 and 2010, when the court was considering aspects of the Citizens United case, "it would certainly raise serious issues of the appearance of impropriety and bias."
But according to Politico's Ben Smith, Scalia and Thomas appear to have attended only one Koch event each — and both events took place long before the Supreme Court even knew about the Citizens United case:
But Eugene Meyer, the president of the conservative legal group the Federalist Society, told me today that Scalia spoke to the Palm Springs conference in January of 2007. Citizens United was only filed on December 17 of that year. Thomas spoke to the conference in January 2008, after the case had been filed in federal district court, but months before the Supreme Court took the case in August.
And legal experts I've spoken to have also dismissed the basis of Common Cause's petition.
"I've never heard of somebody filing a motion saying we'd like you to disqualify yourself from a case you decided last year because three years before that you gave a speech on a different subject [at an event]," said Ronald Rotunda, the Doy & Dee Henley Chair and Distinguished Professor of Jurisprudence at Chapman University School of Law. "If it was an oral argument, it would be hard to say without snickering."
Rotunda said that it's common, and even encouraged, for judges to attend and speak at events, as long as they don't discuss pending cases. "If the judges have to be disqualified because somebody within earshot talks about legal issues, it would mean judges couldn't read the newspaper."
Common Cause's case seems so flimsy, in fact, that some have guessed it must be a publicity stunt. Which makes sense — the organization is currently gearing up for its anti-Koch rally with Van Jones, which the Times somehow neglected to add to its report.
Multiple attorneys I've spoken to have said that this case just isn't going anywhere. Or, as Rotunda put it, "There'll be some people laughing about it, and then it'll disappear."
I think that's a safe bet. Maybe someone should let the New York Times in on the joke.
From the Frying Pan into the Fire
Those who keep advising Obama to fire people miss a key point: the replacements could be worse than the current crew. No, it really is possible. Mayor Daley of Chicago won't run for another term, and Washington is abuzz with speculation that Rahm Emanuel will leave (flee?) the administration to run for the job. Ben Smith reports: "Emanuel has told Chicago associates, a source tells me, who he believes will likely succeed him: senior Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett."
Obama will be trading one Chicago pol (who at least understood how to elect Democrats from places that weren't deep Blue) for a liberal Chicago pol whose instincts seem to mirror David Axelrod's: when in doubt, go left. This was the gal who thought Obama's defense of the Ground Zero mosque was a swell idea. She also remains a potential witness in the Blago retrial. She also led the vendetta against Fox News. And of course, 9/11 truther Van Jones was her hire.
In short, if the Obami are looking for a far-left chief of staff with bad political instincts and a Chicago-machine outlook, they couldn't do "better" than Valerie Jarrett.
Time to Clean House?
Yuval Levin raises an interesting point about the Obami:
They have made it impossible for themselves to change course without a massive loss of face and of political capital. But however costly, that change will now need to come. You have to wonder if the people responsible for setting this course—and especially Rahm Emanuel and the House and Senate leadership—will still be standing when it's all done with.
Obama isn't big on firing people. It took a weekend of angst before Van Jones was shown the door. No one lost his job over the national security debacle that resulted in the Christmas Day near-catastrophe. So will he now clean house, after his domestic agenda has blown up in the Bluest State, his approval rating has plummeted, his party has formed a circular firing squad, and his congressional majorities are at risk? It seems that the Obama political brain trust — which thought its expertise extended to Afghanistan war strategy and the Middle East "peace process" — wasn't very good at the jobs in which they were supposedly expert. Rahm Emanuel understood Congress. David Axelrod understood political salesmanship. But they, along with Obama of course, made a perfect mess in only a year.
It might be smart for Obama to toss some of them out. For starters, it might elevate the tone of the White House, which has been languishing in the partisan sewers for a year. And it might signal to panicked Democrats in the House and Senate that Obama doesn't intend to plow them under. But most of all, it would be a message to the country that the president has learned a lesson and is setting a new direction.
Other presidents have shoved advisers aside at opportune moments. George W. Bush fired Donald Rumsfeld. Ronald Reagan fired Donald Regan. Bill Clinton fired Mack McLarty. In all those cases, the presidents and the country were the better for it. Obama might think hard about following his predecessors' lead. Really, he could hardly do worse than his current staff.
The Perils of Ignoring Bad News
Two Democratic pollsters and consultants, Pat Caddell and Douglas Schoen, take to the Wall Street Journal op-ed pages to decry the attack by the Obami and their supporters on Fox News and pollsters including Gallup and Rasmussen. They call out the vendetta against Fox, Robert Gibbs's shot at Gallup, and the avalanche of criticism by liberal spinners as "political intimidation":
The attacks on Rasmussen and Gallup follow an effort by the White House to wage war on Fox News and to brand it, as former White House Director of Communications Anita Dunn did, as "not a real news organization." The move backfired; in time, other news organizations rallied around Fox News. But the message was clear: criticize the White House at your peril. … Mr. Gibbs's comments and the recent attempts by the Democratic left to muzzle Scott Rasmussen reflect a disturbing trend in our politics: a tendency to try to stifle legitimate feedback about political concerns—particularly if the feedback is negative to the incumbent administration.
It's not only unseemly and revealing of a prickly, defensive, and arrogant administration; it has, I think, contributed to the constant state of shock in which the Obami constantly find themselves. Who knew Van Jones was a problem? How could anyone see a 20-point thumping coming in the Virginia gubernatorial race and a loss in very Blue New Jersey? How could the tea-party protesters catch on? How could Massachusetts be competitive? They always seem a step behind the news and the last to recognize their flagging political fortunes.
That arguably flows directly from indifference and hostility to bad news. If one considers only MSNBC and the New York Times, you can miss a lot of news and many a warning sign that the public isn't with you. And conversely, the refusal to engage the opposition in meaningful ways (rather than simply deride critics as illegitimate if not downright "un-American," as Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi tagged the town-hall attendees) has left the policy battleground to the other side. Conservatives say ObamaCare cuts Medicare, unwisely raises taxes in a recession, and will lead to rationed care. The Obami say: Shut up. You can see why they may be losing the argument.
Caddell and Schoen deserve credit for raising the red flag. But as Democrats, they do so not for purely altruistic reasons. They know, even if the White House doesn't, that putting your fingers in your ears and humming is no way to govern.
Why Is Napolitano Still There?
Mickey Kaus wants to know why the chattering class is being so nice to Janet Napolitano. Maureen Dowd, David Broder, and a bunch of former and current office-holders rallied around her over the weekend. But she is a national punch line, forever tied to her "the system worked" hooey, so what's the story? Kaus muses: "Does she give great parties? Is it that DHS has a highly effective, overactive P.R. person? Or does America's bureaucratic capital simply overvalue those whose first instinct is to defend their bureaucracy?" Well, even conservatives who know her say she is pleasant, and that counts for something, I suppose. But when Michael Chertoff damns her with faint praise ("her heart is in the right place") I get a bit suspicious.
Here's a theory: it is in everyone's interest (except that of the American people, but their views don't count for much on vital national issues such as health care, so why listen to them on this, right?) to keep her around. The Republicans don't want this to stop with the Secretary of Homeland Security. They place responsibility on the president and his weirdly inappropriate conduct of the war against Islamic fundamentalists (whom he won't identify as the enemy). And as long as she is around saying dopey things, the Republicans' case that the Obami are out to lunch on anti-terrorism is strengthened. She is a useful piñata. Meanwhile, the Democrats don't want any heads to start rolling because then the public might get the idea that this is a really big deal. Dumping her would be inconsistent with their line that they've always been on top of things. And then the White House never likes to fire anyone (recall how long it took to get rid of 9/11 "truther" Van Jones) because that might suggest the Obami either have made a specific mistake or, more generally, lack judgment. So she just might be safe in the near term. Which makes everyone happy. Except the public.
Making the Wish List
Tim Cavanaugh (h/t Glenn Reynolds) writes:
I don't understand the Washington cant that says [Larry] Summers, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and other manifest failures can't be fired. Ronald Reagan, father of the debtorship society, fired six department heads in his first term, and made a point of first humiliating and then firing his deficit-hawk OMB director David Stockman. George W. Bush fired Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill on his way to winning re-election.
This is not only brilliant advice for the economic team, but it is worth considering on a broader basis. Multiple firings would serve many aims. First, they keep the media off of their new favorite storyline — namely, "Is this really the guy we went into the tank for?" Second, it cuts against the image of the president as the wimp in chief. Third, many people deserve to be fired — not just the obvious loonies and incompetents such as Van Jones and the fellow responsible for panicking New Yorkers with the Air Force One flyover. Fourth, Obama loves to play the "look ma, no hands game" so firing staff who "didn't perform" maintains Obama's aura as someone who really, honestly is the smartest, wisest president ever. He just had bad staff, you see.
So who's on the list? Well, Joe Biden can't be fired until 2012. Besides, he's useful for reminding the country that we could be in worse hands. The obvious candidates: Hillary Clinton, George Mitchell, and James Jones. If there has been a worse trio of foreign-policy advisers who've made hash of just about everything they've touched I'd be hard pressed to name it. Their removal would be a big step toward "restoring our standing" in the world. (That's what we were promised, you recall.) Think of it as a mega reset.
And then there are David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel. After all, they've been running everything — from the Afghanistan war seminars, to Middle East strategy, to the stimulus and health care. Indeed, their fingerprints are all over many of the administration's worst calls. Moreover, firing them would help dispel one of those "bad" storylines that John Harris pointed out:
The rap is that his West Wing is dominated by brass-knuckled pols. It does not help that many West Wing aides seem to relish an image of themselves as shrewd, brass-knuckled political types. In a Washington Post story this month, White House deputy chief of staff Jim Messina, referring to most of Obama's team, said, "We are all campaign hacks." The problem is that many voters took Obama seriously in 2008 when he talked about wanting to create a more reasoned, non-partisan style of governance in Washington.
And finally there is Eric Holder, who has been front and center in some of the worst decisions of the administration — the ill-conceived and unresearched decision to close Guantanamo, the release of interrogation memos, the reinvestigation of CIA operatives, the now-reversed decision to release detainee-abuse photos, and the civilian trial of KSM (topped off by an Alberto Gonzales-like appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee). But I'm thinking it's best to wait on that one. They'll need a moment when the KSM trial is spinning out of control and Senate races in New York and Illinois are still winnable to announce that, by gosh, this handling of KSM is a mess and Holder is taking full responsibility on the way out the door.
Okay, it's a lot of people to can. But it's been a lousy first year.

Shares in Wolfson Microelectronics lost a quarter of their value on Thursday after it emerged the company had not been picked to supply audio chips to the next generation of Apple iPods.
Shares in Wolfson tumbled 35½p to 106½p, their lowest level for more than three years.
The shares have already lost more than 60 per cent of their value over the past year on concerns that an economic slowdown will lead to lower sales of the consumer gadgets Wolfson makes chips for. The company last month admitted it had lowered its internal forecasts for 2008 because of the economic climate. Analysts at Citigroup downgraded the stock to "hold" from "buy".
Wolfson declined to name officially the customer it had lost the contract with but people close to the company confirmed it was Apple.
The products are understood to be the new versions of the iPod Nano and iPod Touch, which are due to be launched in the third quarter. Wolfson will, however, continue to supply chips for Apple's iPhone handset.
The move will hit Wolfson's second-half revenues. Apple is Wolfson's largest customer, with Citigroup estimating that it accounted for $41m, or 18 per cent of revenues in 2007. Of this, $35m is estimated to have come from iPod-related sales, and $6m from the iPhone, which was launched last summer.
This is the second time Wolfson has been dropped from Apple products, after losing the contract to supply audio chips to the iPod Classic last year. That contract went to Cirrus Logic of the US.
Wolfson said it would still hit market forecasts for 2008 revenues, as strong sales of chips for handsets and GPS systems would help offset lost MP3 player sales. Forecasts are for sales of $250m.
It confirmed its guidance for first-quarter revenues of $44m-$48m.
Wolfson's chips are used in around 90 per cent of the world's portable music players, but the company has been working to diversify. Revenue from other applications grew by 22 per cent in 2007 and represented 76 per cent of the total £231m in sales it made during the year.
Sales to handset manufacturers, for example, rose 52 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2007 thanks to new deals with South Korea's Samsung and LG. However, a deal with Nokia, the world's largest handset manufacturer, has so far eluded the company.

Gia Carangi such a beaut <3 Love this photo.
This picture of Agyness gives me chills. Amazing..
Wells Fargo
I watched the award winning Gia today. That was a real eye opener for me as to how someone who was once so beautiful & 'pure' can be destructed & demolished as a result of drug abuse, the modelling industry & numerous lost loves. This woman is a true beauty & should still be here with us today. Angelina Jolie playing Gia in the film was just the best! She really played the role well. If you haven't seen the movie then you should go and see. Here are two pictures; the first one is from the film with Angelina playing Gia & the second picture is of the beautiful lady herself Gia Carangi! R.I.P
A caption taken of my Toms. I prefer to wear them with cuffed bottom boyfriend type jeans. This was at a near by train station. I love Toms.
This is what happens when you buy the same Magazine for over a year every single week. Well if you don't throw them out of course. I'm just going to keep going. At least that's one thing i'm committed to…
I <3 you look.
These are the kind of clothes i would wear on a night out. I would say its boarder-line androgynous & sexy! It doesn't shout out 'look at how sexy i am' but a sly 'yeah look' in a more smooth/cool way. I love finishing outfits off with blazers.
I like this look. It screams out FESTIVAL TIME! Minus the creepers and probably a pair of hunters would be better but i still like what iv'e put together
This is simple as a full stop. I would wear this (i think) but when i was creating it i wasn't thinking about myself but actually had most of the 'girly' population in mind. Most girls would probably wear something like this on a daily basis. I wouldn't..

I'm 26 and have been seeing Paul Goemans for the past 10 years. I have only positive things to say about him and his clinic. He and his wife are both respectful, caring, thorough and keep great records. Their facility is up to date, and use digital imaging of Retina scans in order to better serve and track changes throughout their clients' lives. I'm moving to Toronto, but I'll be coming back to see Paul for all of my eye appointments for sure.

I have been a client of Paul's for approximately 20 years and wouldn't consider going anywhere else. He is very good, knowledgable, and patient. He always takes time to explain anything clearly to me and I've always trusted him to help me pick out my frames since I can't see with out my lenses! He does a great job of that too. Recently he aquired a computer imaging system that allows him to take a picture of the inside patient's eyes. Found seeing these pictures very helpful, informative, and fastinating. Highly recommended optometrist!!

XBOX 360 TOMB RAIDER DEMO TO ENGAGE Copyright 2006 Eidos plc
[ April 4th 2006 ]
Eidos Interactive, one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today confirms the exclusive content for Lara Croft Tomb Raider Legend which will be available for Xbox 360 on Xbox Live Marketplace from Tuesday April 4th 2006.
The playable Xbox 360 demo of Lara Croft Tomb Raider Legend will be available to download together with an exclusive trailer of the game and also a selection of themes to customise your Xbox 360. There will also be a selection of picture packs of Lara from the game and real-life Lara, Karima Adebibe.
"Xbox Live Marketplace offers a platform of such dynamic exposure to bring Lara closer to new gamers and her existing fans," said Matt Gorman, Senior Brand Manager for Tomb Raider. "We are expecting the same level of anticipation and interest in Lara and her new game on Xbox Live Marketplace as we do with the fantastic Tomb Raider online community."
Delivering unbelievable visuals that take full advantage of Microsoft's next-generation video game and entertainment system, Lara's premiere on Xbox 360 is grounded in the series' tomb raiding roots.

This year marks "the steepest point of the so-called patent cliff" as many blockbuster drugs go off-patent, so global pharmaceutical firms are looking to Asia to counter falling revenue streams.
This is one of the key findings of a new report from the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board. It notes that the trend of inward investments in Asia's pharmaceutical sector will continue in the next few years thanks to the continent's "unique position as a hub for the manufacture of generic drugs, a source of cheaper production costs and a fast-growing pharmaceuticals market".
The analysis notes that factors such as rising incomes, increased government expenditure on healthcare and the growing incidence of chronic developed-world diseases associated with changing lifestyles have all boosted demand in the region. The EIU expects Asia pharmaceutical sales to grow from $214.2 billion in 2010 to $386 billion by 2016, over 13%.
It also notes that "the number of players, homegrown and global, is rising" and the total number of listed companies in the industry rose by 34% between 2004 and 2009, from 276 firms to 370. Combined revenues nearly tripled from $27.4 billion to $73 billion during the same period.
The EIU report goes on to state that "while Asia was once viewed as an attractive destination only for simple outsourced production, the region is increasingly seen as a key R&D hub". It adds that Asia's pharmaceuticals market "remains highly competitive and extremely fragmented, with thousands of smaller manufacturers", saying there will continue to be opportunities for the latter companies that can provide specific services, such as contract manufacturing or research work for larger players.
"Foreign multinationals are moving headcount from developed markets to Asia," says Sudhir Vadaketh, editor of the report. "They are also making strategic acquisitions of generics manufacturers in order to diversify their business."

I noticed that there is a crafting system in this game. Is this system worthwhile at all or just some gimmick? I hate putting so much time into crafting only to find out one month down the road that it is actually worthless in terms of getting money or that raid drops totally overshadow it. If this is the case i will just focus on the other aspects of the game instead.

You can find a very decent review here on MMORPG, where you can find plenty info regarding WS crafting. |
Worth it to who?
When I said i had "time", i meant virtual time, i got no RL "time" for you. |
In my experience, the gear crafting professions (Weaponsmith, Armorer, Outfitter, and Tailor) are good at letting you make small upgrades to your gear, if you level and craft simultaneously. At max level-- they are perhaps the best way to get your first set of dungeon-worthy gear, but after you get into veterans, they become useless. The prospect of selling gear is a bit slim, because the costs of producing most of the level-50 gear are high. Unless you enjoy crafting i would just recommend commissioning gear or buying gear when needed. You'll save a lot of time and end up spending a similar amount of gold. |
The crafting system is actually pretty full featured and can make some rather good stuff. HOWEVER. This is a game for raiders. That is all you need to know. This game is based on uber drops from bosses. Anyone who crafts should understand what this implies for crafting. It means its just fluff in the end. Crafting is just a minor iteration on top of the loot drop system and that is all it can ever be. |

You can make a successful crafting system in a raid progression game. Carbine has laid the foundation for one. What they do with it from here on out is anybody's guess. The key word is diversify. |
Raiders will always need potions and food. In LARGE supply.
I can fly higher than an aeroplane. |
Originally posted by Foomerang I disagree with this. Other than consumable crafting, raiding games never have, what I would consider, any sort of item crafting that is anything but completely mediocre. Sometimes you can craft nice items by using crafting components that are dropped from raid bosses. But this is just a more complex form of trading in tokens. Its not an actual quality crafting system. You want some side game to have some minor customization, that's cool, but don't confuse it with a real quality crafting system like old Star War Galaxies. Raiding games can never allow a good crafting system like SWG had because they literally need people salivating over the raid drops. Some people make the mistake of thinking the raid drop portion can be just another level of "gathering" that simply adds a more scarce layer of resource collection of a "good" crafting system. This is wrong due to a number of inter locking factors that would take a very long post for me to write out and which most people wouldn't read, so I am going to leave this as a statement rather than a well founded argument. Suffice it to say there has never been a raid game with anything other than a thinly disguised token trading system they call crafting that is therefore a mediocre crafting system. And there will never be a successful raid game that has anything other than a mediocre crafting system since the raid drop system will necessarily undermine the mechanics that allow a crafter to be economically viable as well as provide unique and rare item variations and the developers themselves simply cannot allow people to salivate over a crafted item you can buy rather than a dropped item that is gated via content timesinks. |
In FFXIV, the top end combat gear is dropped in raids. But it has one of the best gathering/crafting/economy systems in an mmo right now. I can go into details if youd like. |

Dreamworld to replace steam locomotives
Australia 5 September 2013 Ashley Irvine 6
Dreamworld is reportedly in the process of replacing their two steam locomotives with a newer, more energy-efficient diesel locomotive.
The two steam locomotives up for replacement — "Perry" and "Baldwin" — currently run on Australia's longest privately owned railway, called the Dreamworld Railway.
The steam locomotive "Baldwin" is the oldest of the two, and has been at the park since it opened in 1981. It was previously used during the First World War in France.
The new diesel locomotive is expected to be fully operational by the end of October.
Photo: Paul Hollibone
I am very sad about the demise of steam at Dreamworld. I worked there from 1983 to 1989. I saw the construction of much of the railway and the refurbishment of the Perry.I started driving the 2 locos in 1985.The genius behind dreamworld was John Longhurst. His vision was to run steam locomotives. The park was developed around the railway.There were 2 locos, The Baldwin a loco from 1907, originally used as a light railway munitioning engine in the first world war in the trenches of France.
After the war it was imported to Queensland and spent many years at The Racecourse sugar mill.
Longhurst purchased the loco and turned it from a 4-6-2 tank into a tender loco.It was fun to drive as the loco no longer had water tanks to assist traction and if it rained, as it does in Queensland, the old lady would pick up her skirts and slide.
The Perry was purchased about 1985 and refurbished by a dreamworld welder, his name was Clapton to my shame I cant remember his first name.The stick welding on the loco was exemplary and an example to all welders who saw it. The locos were both powered by Oil. We tried wood but threatened to burn the place down from sparks. I was trained by the senior driver, Billy Oliver. For enthusiasts, Billy was the first full time employee of the Talyllyn Railway,In wales, the first preserved steam railway in the world. It was into this world of steam by a man who should be a hero of preserved steam!
I was inducted. I drove the engines until the end of 1989.
For information the Perry was a multi gauge engine. By moving the wheels it could be a 2 foot, 3foot 6 inch and a standard gauge, what a fabulous design.
I sincerely regret Dramworlds decision to go diesel. This is an economic decision not safety, it's all about money. Steam engines are heavily man hour resourceful. Dreamworld has obviously decided to forego the maintenance costs involved.
I regret the passing of this historic attraction, but wonder what other maintenance they are saving money on.
Perhaps that is an unfair comment.
I believe that anybody who believes in tradition would honour JCL, would keep it going as per his vision from 1981.
Is it all about money?
Sam Dearing employee 1983 to 1989.

Importing Racer tracks
From VDrift
Directions for importing Racer tracks
Note: These instructions are meant for Linux |
- Unzip and put racer files in temporary folder RACER_TP (temporary track path). Make sure the path has no spaces (dof2joe doesn't like spaces).
- Create new folder for track in track editor folder TRACKEDITOR_TP.
- Convert all texture names to lowercase in RACER_TP via
find . -type f -name \*.tga|sort -r|awk '{f=tolower($1); if(f!=$1 && p[f]!=1){print "mv "$1" "f}p[$1]=1}' | /bin/sh
- Make folder TRACKEDITOR_TP/objects/
- Run the following command:
dof2joe/dof2joe -p TRACKEDITOR_TP/objects/ RACER_TP/*.dof
If there are thousands of .dof files, you may have to do this in steps to avoid a "too many arguments" error from your shell. This will take a while. Textures are automatically converted using nconvert. No filenames should have spaces.
- Open track editor data/tracks/editor.config and set active track to TRACKEDITOR_TP.
- Run the track editor. Trace the roadways and mark the starting position (press H for help).
- cd to the TRACKEDITOR_TP/objects folder (this is important, the packfile stores relative paths) and run
joepack/joepack -c objects.jpk *.joe
- Copy TRACKEDITOR_TP into the main VDrift tracks folder VDRIFT_TP. Erase VDRIFT_TP/objects/*.joe (since they are in the pack file).
- Add VDRIFT_TP/about.txt and ensure that the first line is the name of the track.
- Run VDrift and check out what the track looks like in-game. Note that you will only be able to drive on the roadways you defined in the track editor since no other surfaces have been flagged as collideable. Also take a screenshot for the track selection screen.
- Add the track selection screenshot to VDRIFT_TP/trackshot.png (hopefully these png files will be moved into the folders of the individual tracks soon).
- Open up all of the texture files in TRACKEDITOR_TP/objects and review which textures belong to objects that should be collide-able (roads and walls), have full brightness (trees), be mipmapped (fences and fine transparent objects should not be mipmapped), or be skyboxes.
- Any textures that have transparent areas are usually colored #FF00FF in the Racer textures. You'll need to make these truly transparent in the PNG files. An easy way to do this is to use ImageMagick. Use the commands
mogrify -transparent rgb\(255,0,255\) *.png mogrify -fill rgb\(128,128,128\) -opaque rgba\(255,0,255,0\) *.png
This can be scripted to speed things up of course.
- Set the correct object properties using the trackeditor/listedit Listedit tool.

Hi Sherrie, Great blog. I get your updates via emai. Very organized focus boards. On our website we are hosting a Middle School button link up by speciality or generalist subject. If you are interested please visit our site for info:
Thanks for considering.
Happy Blogging
Kristy @ 2peasandadog
Absolutely love your focus wall! The wall where I have my smart board is completely empty like yours. I could totally do this. Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Sherrie,
My name is Adriana and I'm a 7th grade math teacher in NJ. I would really love to do a math focus wall this year but had a few questions for you. How did the students feel about the focus wall? Did they embrace it and find it helpful or did it not make a difference from what you did in the previous years? How much work was it for you as a teacher to keep it up to date? Where did you get that banner and how did you create the letters? It all just looks amazing. I just want you to come to my class and work magic on it lol.
Okay so I reread your post and realized you answered my question about how labor intensive it is for a teacher. Do you have any advice on how to minimize the amount of work? I may assign a student in my homeroom to help me with this. Last year I had a student in charge of my assignment calendar and he always made sure it was up to date. If it was up to me I'd be weeks behind lol. I guess that's my biggest fear of a focus wall, just not being able to keep up with it.
What is on the upper left side of your focus wall? I can see on the upper right there is space for problem solving strategies. I cannot tell what is on the left side.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. Feel free to email firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions you have.

US 5992734 A Abstract The present invention is a hinge for a package closure apparatus. A preferred embodiment of the hinge comprises a landing, a spring face, a push-tab, and an air vent. The landing extends from a base of the closure apparatus into an opening of the closure apparatus. The spring face adjoins the landing at a first junction forming a first flexible joint. The push-tab adjoins the spring face at a second junction forming a second flexible joint. The first flexible joint, the spring face, and the second flexible joint cooperate to enable the push-tab to move relative to the base of the apparatus. The air vent is adapted to facilitate a substantially even flow rate of a product through the opening of the closure apparatus.
Claims(7) 1. A hinge for a closure apparatus having a base, said base having an opening through which contents of a package may be dispensed, said hinge comprising:
a landing extending from said base into said opening; a spring face adjoining said landing at a first junction, said first junction forming a first flexible joint; a tab adjoining said spring face at a second junction, said second junction forming a second flexible joint; said first flexible joint, said spring face, and said second flexible joint cooperating to enable said tab to move relative to said base; and an air vent for facilitating flow of said contents through said opening. 2. The hinge of claim 1 wherein at least a portion of said air vent is located in said spring face.
3. The hinge of claim 1 wherein at least a portion of said air vent is located in said tab.
4. The hinge of claim 1 wherein at least a portion of said air vent is located in said first junction and divides said first junction into two strap hinges.
5. The hinge of claim 1 wherein at least a portion of said air vent is located in said second junction and divides said second junction into two strap hinges.
6. The hinge of claim 1 wherein at least a portion of said air vent is located in said landing portion.
7. A hinge for a closure apparatus having a base, said base having an opening through which contents of a package may be dispensed, said hinge comprising:
a landing extending from said base into said opening; a spring face adjoining said landing at a first junction, said first junction forming a first flexible joint; and a tab adjoining said spring face at a second junction, said second junction forming a second flexible joint; said first flexible joint, said spring face, and said second flexible joint cooperating to enable said tab to move relative to said base. Description This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 08/792,926, filed Jan. 21, 1997, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,823,420. U.S. application Ser. No. 08/792,926 is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 08/521,745, filed Aug. 31, 1995, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,639,018. The present invention relates generally to containers useful for products that may be poured from the container and, more particularly, to improved closures secured to said containers. For example, paperboard cartons are generally well known. A familiar type is the milk carton which has a gabled top. Also, becoming ever more popular are rectangular shaped cartons, some of aseptic quality, for containing beverages, powdered goods, and practically any other pourable substance. To prevent waste and provide for ease of pouring, improved pour-through closure apparatus for securing openings in said containers are needed. Practically any container to be used to hold pourable contents may benefit from the improved closure of the present invention. Push-tabs have been used in combination with container closure apparatus, which are designed to be depressed into the material of the container or package. The push-tabs serve to open a partially pre-cut area on the surface of the package below the closure. The push-tab separates the material of the package and may serve to hold the material apart to maintain the opening during pouring. Previous closure push-tabs have been hinged directly to an inner wall that defined a central opening in the closure apparatus. The present invention recognizes a need for improved force distribution through the hinge, when the push-tab is depressed by a user of the container. By improving the push-tab hinge design, stress distribution through the hinge is improved. As a result of the hinge design improvements, the closure apparatus may be manufactured from a broader range of materials, some of which may be less expensive. The present invention provides a push-tab hinge which distributes stresses more effectively than previous hinge designs. In particular, the present invention provides a landing which extends from the closure opening to a spring face which depends from the push-tab. The junction between the landing and the spring face provides a first flexible joint through which the hinge acts. The junction between the spring face and the push-tab provides a second flexible joint through which the hinge acts. Furthermore, an air vent in the hinge is adapted to facilitate a substantially even flow rate of a product through the closure opening. The entire apparatus may be made as a one-piece injection molded plastic unit, having movable parts. Reference is made to U.S. Pat. No. 5,101,999, which is hereby incorporated by reference into the present application. In addition to the novel features and advantages mentioned above, other objects and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent from the following descriptions of the drawings and preferred embodiments. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the closure apparatus of the present invention attached to the top of a package or container; FIG. 2 is a plan view of the closure apparatus of FIG. 1 with a cover rotated to its open position; FIG. 3 is an enlarged section view taken along line 3--3 in FIG. 1; FIG. 4 is a cut away, side elevation view showing the push-tab in its open position and material of the package top broken into the package; FIG. 5 is a plan view showing the bottom surface of a preferred embodiment of the closure apparatus of the present invention; and FIG. 6 is a detail view of the hinge of FIG. 3. Referring to FIG. 1, a closure apparatus 10 for opening and resealing a package 12 is shown. The package 12 may be made from a penetrable material, and may contain a dispensable fluid, powder, particulate solid substance, or any other pourable contents. As shown in FIG. 2, the closure apparatus 10 may have a base 13 having a forward portion 14 and a rearward portion 16. The bottom surface 18 of the base 13 (as shown in FIG. 5) may be attached to the package top 20 by any suitable means, such as an adhesive 22 applied to the bottom surface 18. The closure apparatus is shown secured to the package 12 in FIG. 3. On a top surface 24 of the base 13 there may be a formed pour wall 26. Interiorally of the pour wall 26 there may be formed an inner side wall 28 that defines an opening 30. In the preferred embodiment, a landing 32 extends from the rear portion 34 of the inner side wall 28. It is to be recognized that the landing 32 may extend from elsewhere, such as from pour wall 26, on the apparatus 10 and remain within the scope of the present invention. The present invention may also be accomplished without a landing. A push-tab 36 is formed to initially reside within the inner side wall 28 directly over the opening 30. The push-tab 36 has a spring face (best shown in FIG. 3) extending from the push-tab 36. The spring face 38 is also integrally connected with the landing 32. The junction 40 between the spring face 38 and the landing 32 forms a first flexible joint. The junction 42 between the spring face 38 and the push-tab 36 forms a second flexible joint. Both flexible joints 40, 42 may be seen best in FIG. 6. The spring face 38 and the first and second junctions 40 and 42 in combination with the landing 32 provides a robust hinge which distributes stress more effectively than previous designs. The spring face 38 may, in another embodiment of the present invention, extend directly from the inner side wall 28. In this case, the first junction 40 would reside at the location where the side wall 28 and the spring face 38 meet. Referring to FIG. 4, the push-tab 36 is shown in its depressed position, having broken through the material 46 of the package 12. As the push-tab 36 is depressed, junctions 40 and 42 are placed in flexion, as is spring face 38. The closure apparatus 10 may be provided with a vent hole 60 to allow air to enter and exit the package when the contents are poured from the package 12. The vent hole 60 allows for a more even flow rate of the contents out of the package. Vent hole 60 may be provided in several places, including in spring face 38, in landing 32, and/or in push-tab 36. In addition, the vent hole 60 may straddle the junction 40 andor the junction 42. It should be recognized that the hinge may have more than one vent hole 60. Referring to FIG. 5, if the vent hole 60 is supplied where shown, in the center of junction 40, it effectively divides the junction into two halves. The two halves 61, 62 act as hinge straps. The dual hinge strap embodiment results in practically having two junction hinges (61 and 62) in place of one continuous junction hinge 40. The preferred embodiments herein disclosed are not intended to be exhaustive or to unnecessarily limit the scope of the invention. The preferred embodiments were chosen and described in order to explain the principles of the present invention so that others skilled in the art may practice the invention. Having shown and described preferred embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art will realize that many variations and modifications may be made to affect the described invention. Many of those variations and modifications will provide the same result and fall within the spirit of the claimed invention. It is the intention, therefore, to limit the invention only as indicated by the scope of the claims. Patent Citations

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 28— Darren Daulton, the Philadelphia Phillies' reserve catcher, punched a wall in the team's clubhouse and broke his right hand Saturday. Daulton was angered by being called out on strikes in the ninth inning of a 4-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Phillies reported the injury today and announced that Daulton would be fined. They did not disclose the amount of the fine.
To replace Daulton, who was the backup to Lance Parrish, the Phillies purchased Al Pardo, a catcher, from Maine in the International League.
