The Surprising Future of Law Prophesied by Baseball Owners, Obama, and LBJ
The revolutionary impact of data science and analytics in fields like sports and politics is well known, and every day there seems to be another "Moneyball for X" analogy. But what, if anything, does this mean for the legal world, and when will it happen? This is a story about the data revolution that is already transforming the law, reshaping who wins and who loses, and how its potential was foretold long ago.

Publisher settles law suit with rapper P. Diddy
July 13, 2005
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Publisher Random House said on
Wednesday it had reached a settlement with rapper Sean "P.
Diddy" Combs to end a lawsuit it filed earlier this year to
recover a $300,000 book advance.
The publisher sued Combs in February to recover the money
its Ballantine imprint had paid him in a 1998 agreement to
write his autobiography, which was never delivered.
"The matter has been amicably resolved," Random House
spokesman Stuart Applebaum said. "We will not be publishing a
book by P. Diddy."
Applebaum declined to say whether the advance had been
repaid in full, citing reasons of confidentiality.

US singer-songwriter Dia Frampton happy to be runner-up on The Voice
Published on Jan 4, 2013 3:02 PM
It was a good thing that American singer-songwriter Dia Frampton did not win the inaugural season of reality television singing competition The Voice in 2011.
"I wouldn't have been able to handle the pressure of the title of having somebody call me up onstage as 'the voice'. It's kind of a little scary," she says with a laugh at an interview at Hard Rock Cafe on Thursday evening.
The 25-year-old, who was the runner-up in the show, losing to eventual winner Javier Colon, was in Singapore to do a gig at the same venue later that night.
Most viewers of The Voice who became her fans think she is a rookie in the music business - she is not. The bubbly and chatty singer, who is single but dating, has been touring and doing gigs regularly since 2005 with her older sister Meg, 27.

Shoplifting costs the retail industry nearly $35 billion annually, according to the National Retail Security Survey. Shoplifters who are caught are often prosecuted, but some may also face civil recovery — where retailers demand additional payment to recoup some of their costs.

Rep Power:
the heater is a sig marine, fully encompasses air and exhaust ventilation outside. will be checking the check list link here in a few when i'm aboard the boat.
the engine is a 9.9 Johnson, unfortunately 2 stroke. burns 1 gph, and have aboard the capabilities for 40 hours before needing to fill. running speed is a mere 5 knots at 80% power. i have virtually all the tools needed to fix it on the boat including spare carburetor, head gasket, exhaust cover gaskets, water pump, spark plugs, compression testers, extra prop, and of course gear fluid. i know that engine from top to bottom, rebuilding it about 6 months ago before my last winter trip. would like to get tohatsu 9.8 4 stoke, heard their reliable.
have old charts Olympia to skagway Pub. 1981 and upgraded chip in 2 gps and a compass, plan on as i go getting current information and more detailed charts for possible difficult waterways.
was really planning on just working a processing plant, until maybe i got to know people that would provide for a better opportunity. thing is i ultimately want an EMS and/or Fire job, seeing how i am finishing up 4 years of education and volunteering experience. i want to live in Alaska and while between fishing seasons look and test everywhere i can. its not going to be easy, but most great things aren't easy.
a 14 knot current, woo because of that i will definitively heed that warning. vessels traffic a must, had an experience with the San Juan ferry system in tight spaces b/w Shaw and orcas islands. yeah wx channel is my friend, and whats to lose if i have to stay at port and have another beer for the days or week to avoid bad seas. better safe than sorry.
hey thank you everybody who has help thus far,
it's one thing to just read the forums, but completely another to have advice given.
may 9 is the day set to start, i know its a bit early in the season. but i will as a result be extra careful in everything i do.

Recent studies have shown that structural instabilities play a vital role in segregation of charge carriers in the perovskites. We have used extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) to investigate the instability of the CuO6 octahedra of the La1:85Sr0:15CuO4 (LSCO) system showing high Tc superconductivity and the MnO6 octhahedra of the La0:75Ca0:25MnO3 (LCMO) system showing GMR (giant-magneto resistance) properties. Temperature dependent Cu K-edge EXAFS spectra on the LSCO and Mn K-edge on the LCMO systems are reported. The results show a similarity in the lattice instability of the two systems providing evidence for a similar phase segregation of localized and itinerant charge carriers in the two families of perovskite systems.

Opposite electric charges attract one another, so the drops with charged poles were heading to each other. In this step, the only thing to do was to convince both drops not only to adjoin with their poles, but actually to merge. For that purpose the long-known electrocoalescence was used: the drops were stimulated for faster merging by an electric field. Finally the drops electrocoalesced, resulting in the formation of a Janus capsule. Due to a dense packing of particles within the capsule the particles of different types virtually did not mix with each other.
"It's like the famous James Bond's martini: it was always to be shaken, not stirred", laughs Dr Rozynek.
The ultimate capsule appearance was determined by the number of particles deposited on the surfaces of initial drops. If the particles covered both drops with a uniform film, extending almost to the poles, the coalescence resulted in a non-spherical structure. When empty areas around the poles were suitably larger, the Janus capsules acquired a spherical shape. Finally, if the ribbons around the equators of the initial drops were narrow, the coalescence resulted in formation of a structure, which could be called a Janus ring.
The rings with two parts composed of two different types of particles provide interesting opportunities. They can be further stuck each other and produce more complex striped structures. The capsules could be then composed of alternately placed strips of particles, with each strip having different properties than its neighbours.
Janus capsules enable encapsulation of microobjects, nanoparticles or molecules, which must be protected against the environment because of their sensitivity or reactivity. Different properties of both capsule parts make it easier to control the movement of the capsules and the release of their contents. In view of these factors, Janus capsules may find numerous applications. The proposed method for prod

As the media attention peaked, Ferrell said it was too much. She had lost her job, was being harassed and said it was time to clean up her record. She said she had been talking to the Salt Lake City police and decided in May it was time to turn herself in.
But instead of going to the New York police, she got on a bus and went to Philadelphia.
"I thought it might slow the media down," she said. "But you guys are crazy. You'll go anywhere."
When she gets out of jail, Ferrell hopes -- if her probation allows it -- to eventually return to New York.
"If there is anywhere that can forgive," she said, "it would be New York."

Mediterranean Cruises
After going ashore by local tender boat to the old port (Gialos Port), you will meet your private guide and take the cable car up to the town of Fira where your private vehicle awaits for you. Your escort will point out the still active volcanic islet in Santorini Bay and discuss the geological upheavals, which gave the island its overwhelming and unique form. Driving through the picturesque scenery and small villages from the southern to the northern end of the island of Santorini, you'll travel across rich, volcanic countryside. The beautiful village of Oia is perched atop a craggy cliff at the northern most point of the island offering panoramic views of steep plummeting cliffs and nearby small islands surrounded by the deep blue sea. Walking through the village one can enjoy the panoramic views, admire the Cycladic architecture for which the town is well known, and visit many of the art galleries. After your visit to Oia, you'll continue to a local winery for the opportunity to taste Santorini mezes (Greek Snack) and a wine tasting while enjoying the magnificent views. The tour concludes at the hilltop village of Fira, walk uphill to Mitropolis church at the beginning of the pedestrian zone where you'll have the option of returning directly to the ship or remaining in town to shop or explore independently. From Fira, you will join the cable car (ticket provided) and descend independently to the old port. A local tender will ferry you back to the ship, which will be anchored offshore.

So I started a couple night classes. Painting II and Landscape and interior drawing. In both he just had us spend about an hour and a half doing a quick piece. Kind of evaluating the class I geuss.
So here's an oil done off a B and W photo, done in B and W with the addition of one other colour, alizarin in my case. Also the drawing from the other class.

Went drawing last night to the downtown theatres garden type area. Some pen sketches and one I did up in pencil.
Sorry about the poor image quality, they're 18 x 24 so I photographed them. Something that dousn't seem to work the best with graphite, at least for me.
September 26th, 2006 #34
I like your pen sketches. Nice way to help you put more thought into each stroke. On the one with the glass and the bottle, maybe try adding some darker values to make the foreground items pop more?
September 26th, 2006 #35
Hey, you're definately coming along! How are you enjoying your classes so far? Your pencil drawing is definately quickly improving.
I think the most interesting thing here for me though is the pen drawing that you did. I know they're just sketches but really, they look really strong, and like you were really loosening up and in effect being more accurate with your lines.
I can't wait to see more work from your classes, I'm sure they'll push you leaps and bounds forward in your art!

Hey man, just wanted to give you a little boost and encouragement. The still life's are looking good, just keep pushing your observational skills; it's all about practice, practice, practice! I wanted to ask, are you going to San Francisco? Just wondering how many of the Montreal-hostel peeps were going. Cheers man.

hpslashluvr- Thanks
Here's what I did. Using masking tape, mask off the area in the center of your canvas to paint in and then paint in a scene. Use flat painting, in the sense of a lack of any physical texture or brush marks. Let thouroughly dry.
Now fold up a piece of blank paper and use that as your ref for the lights and shadows. I masked off with tape each section and lightly painted in the value changes. Add shadows to edges etc.
November 15th, 2006 #55
There was a reason to paint this, but I didn't really take it seriously. At least I painted something last night, need the mileage.

So I've been taking this non-credit painting class and had to paint a table place setting 3 times with different views etc. This did not make me inspired to say the least but here's two of them. Two more done of the 1000 bad paintings they say you need to do to get good. God I need a holiday.

I posted these elsewhere and I wouldn't normally double post but I'm trying to keep this thread as a fairly complete record of my progress.
Some oil sketches from the San Fran workshop, the last two were done on frosted Mylar. Not sure about that surface yet but it is awfully conveniant.
January 11th, 2007 #60
Craaaaaaaaaig, time for an update dude.
You need to get better photos of these paintings too.
I think, the first one suffers a bit from being more of a line drawing than a painting - great color notes on it and proportions though!
2nd is really nice, but small and poor quality photo
3rd also has really nice color notes I think, but could use some finessing in the edges perhaps?
Just thoughts, UPDATE! <-- not a thought, command!

From: OH, United States
Genre: Rock, Punk, Metal
The Rubber City Rebels are cult legends from Ohio. Part of the class of '77 that included Devo, The Dead Boys Pere Ubu and others. Musically they align with the other seventies bands that had solid, hard rock roots before transitioning to Punk, New Wave and Power Pop. These bands include the Sex Pistols, The Vibrators, Ramones, The Dead Boys, The Dictators and Radio Birdman. Whereas later punk outfits might claim The Clash as an influence. These bands would more likely cite Alice Cooper, The Stooges, The F…

Classic CD
""the strings of the Bournemouth Sinfonietta conducted by Richard Studt give freshly alive and highly spontaneous perfomrances"
Penguin Guide
English String Music
The 20th century has produced an astonishingly rich and diverse amount of British music for string orchestra. Several works, indeed, may truly be counted amongst the very finest music ever written for the genre, regardless of century or country of origin. The Tallis Fantasia of Vaughan Williams immediately comes to mind in this respect, with Elgar's Introduction and Allegro and Tippett's masterly Concerto for Double String Orchestra. Comparable with these great achievements is Britten's Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge, a work of the very first rank, a composition of great power and hidden depths, superbly crafted.
Britten first fell under the not inconsiderable influence of Frank Bridge as early as 1927, the two having met after the first performance of Bridge's Enter Spring at the Norwich Festival that year. The Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge were written at the request of Boyd Neel, who required a work for performance by his string orchestra at the 1937 Salzburg Festival. Britten took a theme from one of Bridge's early works, the Idyll of 1906. Any suspicion of whimsy or wistfulness that mayor may not have been present in the original is immediately dispelled by Britten's brusque, thrusting mood, the terse harmonies, spare textures and gritty sonorities. The variations are each parodies of various European compositional styles, whether an Italian aria, a Viennese waltz or a French Bourrée. Collectively they amount to one of the most satisfying works in the entire string repertory.
In 1906 Gustav Holst began a happy association with St. Paul's Girls School in London as Head of Music. His St. Paul's Suite, Opus 29, was written for the school's orchestra. Initially he had added wind parts "in order to give everyone something to do", but the work was eventually published in the version that we know today, for strings alone. The first movement Jig starts in open-air, exhilarating, mood. A nicely contrasting second theme is most skilfully combined and developed, despite the comparative brevity of the movement.
The second movement Ostinato gives the solo violin the principal theme whilst a figure on the second violins persists throughout. The Intermezzo opens with a solo violin accompanied by pizzicato chords. Eventually it is joined, duet fashion, by the solo viola. Just as the music begins to become more restless, so the main theme returns, this time in an enchanting arrangement for the four main soloists of the orchestra. The last movement, an arrangement of the finale of Hoist's second suite for military band, opens with the folk-tune The Dargason, played very softly at first. The cellos enter with the familiar tune Greensleeves and the two tunes continue together, perfectly synchronized and most imaginatively harmonized.
Philip Heseltine, a one-time friend and neighbour of Frederic Delius at Grez- sur-Loing in France, adopted the pseudonym Peter Warlock for many of his compositions, in particular for many of his songs and much of his chamber music. The Capriol Suite is based on Arbeau's dance manual of 1589, Orchésographie. With the exception of the Pavane, which retains most of the harmonies of Arbeau's original, Warlock's orchestrations are mere embellishments of the single melodic line (the monodic form) which exists in the manual. In other words the suite is very much Warlock's own, yet manages to retain the flavour of the original.
The violinist Albert Sammons, for whom Delius had written his Violin Concerto in 1916, asked Delius for two pieces for his own string orchestra. Unfortunately Delius was by this time far too ill and the task fell to the composer's companion and amanuensis Eric Fen by. Fen by recalled two early choral pieces entitled Music to be sung of a Summer Night on the Water, and set about arranging them for string orchestra. The dreamy opening piece proves most effective in its new clothing, and loses none of the sensuousness that voices bring to the piece. The second is a perfect foil, happy and exuberant.
History owes a great debt to Vaughan-Williams for his tireless research and documentation of the rich English heritage of traditional folk-music. The Variants on Dives and Lazarus, though written in the style of a set of variations on old folk-tunes, was referred to by the composer as "reminiscences of various versions in my own collection". The work is based on a ballad of the parable of the rich man who refused to offer alms to a beggar at his door. Both men die, the rich man, Dives, eternally damned to hell-fire, whilst Lazarus achieves salvation in Heaven. The first public performance was given in New York by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra under Adrian Boult in 1939. The first British performance, with Boult and the BBC Symphony Orchestra, took place the same year, in a hall very familiar to the orchestra recorded here, the Colston Hall in Bristol.
1994 Martin Furber
Bournemouth Sinfonietta
Since its foundation in 1968, the Bournemouth Sinfonietta has established itself as one of the most versatile chamber orchestras working in Europe today. With a busy touring schedule of concerts across the South and West of England, elsewhere in the United Kingdom and abroad, a pioneering education and community programme and a commitment to music by living composers, the range of the orchestra's work is unparalleled. Since 1989, the Principal Conductor has been the distinguished Hungarian-born pianist and conductor Tamas Vasary, who assumed the additional position of Artistic Director in 1992.
Richard Studt
Richard Studt, Director and Associate Conductor of the Bournemouth Sinfonietta, a pupil of Manoug Parikian and winner of various prizes as a student at the London Royal Academy of Music, was for some ten years a violinist and soloist with the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields. He was subsequently concert-master of the London Symphony Orchestra and directed the London Virtuosi, the Concertante of London and his own Tate Music Group, recording with the last of these five Vivaldi concerti, two of which were newly discovered. As a conductor he studied with Maurice Handford and received significant encouragement from Simon Rattle and from courses under Sergiu Celibidache. At the same time he continues his career as a violinist in classic repertoire on his Stradivarius instrument, the 'Dolphus', made in 1727.

The Point - Thank You, Epic Games
Danny wonders if Epic's selling of the Gears of War franchise to Microsoft spells the end of their long and storied time in games development.

GameSpot's Danny O'Dwyer explores the hottest topics in games. From industry trends & rumors, to speculation and fan reactions.
Schedule: Most Weeks
Host: Danny O'Dwyer
Crew: Andy Bauman
Its a good idea to focus on game engines. I mean if they can get the Unreal Engine up to par with the Frostbite Engine then we can see some really good stuff. Frostbite 3 is the current engine from DICE and its great, though the flagship game that is using it, Battlefield 4, sucks mightily for a vast variety of things that should not be plaguing this company when they have designed a vast variety of games that are still cherished by gamers today. Maybe COD will give up the age old and very much extinct game engine they have been using for the past decade and breath some new life into the game. I will always regret buying Ghosts and the season pass too! I saw the hype and the way they spoke about it and the changes, all complete lies, and I quit within the first week. Man that still gets me angry just thinking about it! Game had hackers the first week of release!
Cheers Danny for making me all emotional... EPIC always has been my dream company to work for, specially on a title such as UT4.
Even though it is not 2006 no more, Epic Games is still amazing.
Well said, thank you indeed EPIC!!!
classy stuff.... but i want my fortnite. please put that out and then you can stop making games.
NOOOOoooo! The Samaritan Demo still needs to be realized as a full game!!!
I enjoyed the homage Danny; nice one.
ganna miss ya Epic Games. and i still think its never too late for another Unreal
I`ve always thought that the Unreal engines were the ones that defined the start of each generation of games, next gen hasn't truly began until we get the first game powered by unreal 4 engine imo. It's sad but I don't think we`ll ever see another Unreal Tournament game, there is no place for it in current "realistic" shooters era.
Great video
What's the name of the music that plays in this episode?
This is the first time I've ever heard anyone bring up the elevator moment in Unreal 2. That was an epic moment loved that game. Glad I'm not the only one who still remembers it!
Every day I look at my Unreal Tournament 2004 box and think about installing it. I miss it but something just makes me hopes for a newer iteration of it. I hope it's not the end. But if it is to end, please hear my cries Unreal:
/Prayer "Unreal, Please make UT 2014 or UT 2015 before you go!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Thank you Danny O'Dwyer for recognizing a great company, their great games, and paying tribute to all things that make them great!!! Here's a toast to you and to hopeful wishes of a new Unreal Game (hopefully Unreal Tournament)!!!
Repeating what many people have said before me, thanks for these videos danny, you're doing a hell of a job. Video games as a passionate hobby.
I have fond memories of Epic games, UT those were great shooters. MMMMMMMOOOONTER KILL..
The point is just an outstanding show......... Doing an amazing job Danny........... I remember buying a magazine and getting a free demo of unreal and i was hooked that very evening ........ Reminds me of some great times ..... thank you for this video
Another great video. You're killing it, Danny.
Danny is the only GS staff member who gives me such feels while just talking about video games.
I really miss Unreal Tournament. Deck 16 in UT, Torlan in 2K4... so many memories. There was a time when people were playing shooters just because the mechanics of the game were awesome. Today every time I play a shooter the game fights me and tries to distract me with levels for my character and upgrades for my weapon. It bothers me to the point I loose all motivation to play it.
A well-rendered solute to you, lords of the game engine.
Good point. xD
Nice Danny. Nice.
Thank you, Epic! Now ... get yourselves together and make some games, will ya!?
danny if gamespot wants to make their site more enjoyable why is a country like Ghana where i originate out of it.or do u think there aren't any gamers in Africa.i've been a gamer since my primary days till i completed my degree at the university.i'm on pc and own most of the big titles launched till date i have a game library of over 700GB of games.so u guys should think again.if u want ur site to be better it must be all inclusive and not limited to the states gaming is universal its dynamic and not static.
may be its the constraints of juggling two things at once.difficult by all standards.
I believe this was written on the inside of the Unreal Tournament manual cover:
This is a challenge To anyone who ever Took a man down in a 3D shooter And liked it. This is your last chance To prove that you are the best of the best. This is the gladiatorial arena of the future. This is a single-player trial by fire. A heavy weight deathmatch Championship of the universe For those willing to build a mountain of bodies And climb to the top In environments that stun. Against A.I. that kills. For those willing to stake their lives In the pursuit of victory... We salute you.
That sentence and the game that came with it spawned a love for FPS games in me that lasts to this day. I long for that moment where you were locked in the dance of death on the bridges of Deck-16 - dodging rockets and spraying bullets.
youtube corecommandotv
If they are leaving game development, I can only echo Danny's words. Thank you so much Epic, UT and it's engines were great games during my childhood, and their service to gaming has been immense. UE4 looks excellent, and I hope future iterations are just as awesome.
(also, I hope they don't stop, and other excellent engines are available, but still, Danny made some good points about their probable future)
I admit I have never been a big fan of the Unreal Engine because so many of the games that use it tend to look the same (with bland art styles and such). The idea that Epic is going to focus more on licensing their engine means we will probably see even more games that look the same.
I just wish publishers and developers would try some of the other engines that are on the market, at least then we would have more games that looked different from each other (if only slightly).
Nice show Danny! A "goodbye and thank you" right now, seems a bit early considering that there is no real information about Epic plans to assume a change like that. I am pretty sure they are working on a new Game in Cary headquarters and I am not saying about Fortnite. But I totally agree with you... with such a powerful engine they could definitely focus on engine and live long and prosper.
Bye and congrats on the great show!
Good video, so many emotions...
I really hope that they don't stop making video games, since Unreal Tournament has been an awesome way to showcase their engine.
Also, perhaps they might want to revive the cancelled Jazz Jackrabbit 3?
First class Danny. I loved those old days as well. Many a night was it that my friends and I would be playing first person shooters till the whee ours of the morning. Unreal, Doom, Quake, etc.. It has been an amazing art we have watched evolve. An art with a fun.
If only it was that company that makes cryengine instead.
Good show Danny !
I love the Point Danny, it's nice to see a gamer not a journalist talk about games.
Is that Lancer rifle in the thumbnail real or photoshopped? If it was real why not hold it in the video? That looks awesome.
Danny, sometimes you really capture what it means to live a life of gaming. Well done.
I think they bought the franchise so that Sony can't have Gears.
Damn man, I still play Morpheus with instagib from time to time.
I still hold out hope that the gaming industry is just distracted by all this MMO bullshit and will get back to making classic games again soon. Games that require real skill.
Great show!
I spent so many hours playing the Unreal Tournament 2003 demo online. My dial up was never sadder.
It's never too late for another UT. In fact , I think all this Titanfall and COD cr@p could be replaced if they refined the old arena style multiplayer. People don't want a particular type of game. They want fun. If they can achieve that with a reinvented UT, they could change MP shooters forever.........................again.
don't go! stay and make cool shit!
It's not often you see a whole stream of posts about a company that is nothing but a display of respect and affection.
Epic have never produced a game I particularly liked; but for many years now I've been aware of the debt of gratitude I owe the company, both for the technology they have produced, and for the mechanics their in-house games have introduced or perfected that have leaked into some of my favourites.
yea next gen aint here till the engine that powers it is here is agreed!!
With so many mods, and shooters and fps outr there, there doesnt seem t0 be any point in making a game like unreal tournament. A game like that would be better of being a mod to an existing engine/game. In fact im surprised no one has so far. If epic games really has gone then maybe the copyright will be gone too, and someone might do it.
@Prince Manu wtf are you talking about? no, SERIOUSLY, WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? maybe playing games in "primary" wasnt such a good idea :-/
The same??? maybe unreal 1 did. but unreal 2 and 3 and now 4 all have very unique looks for their respective games. Still theres plenty of choices out there and publishers do use other engines, you have so many out there , not everyone uses unreal .You have cryengine, frostbite, etc Most big publishers will have their own engines. Unreal is great as it allows low level companies produce modern games with little money.

This week, he planned to visit his fellow officers at the Monticello Police Department. He's settled back in with his wife, Autumn, and their five kids, at their home on the Newton/Jasper/Butts county line. And he's counting the days until his buddies with Newnan-based Bravo Co. 2/121 Infantry of the Georgia Army National Guard's 48th Brigade return safely home later this month.

REKS - Mighty Mouse Trap Rap
Artist: REKS
Producer: Anthem and Vintage
Album: Revolution Cocktail
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 5 votes )
Fans of REKS (which should be everyone) have been anxiously awaiting the release of his album, Revolution Cocktail, but unfortunately the LP seems to have gotten the Detox treatment; its release date has been delayed more times than you can count. Looking to tide his fans over, the Miami-by-way-of-Massachusetts emcee has released new song Mighty Mouse Trap Rap. After listening to the record, though, I have a feeling it might only make fans hungrier for the album. To use an appropriate idiom, "If you give a mouse a cookie…" Over a spiffy, organ-infused beat from Floridian producers Anthem and Vintage, REKS showcases a delivery much more brisk than the laid-back flow he displayed on his last feature, Caged Bird. This cut's edgier style underscores the emcee's versatility, suggesting that there will be something for everyone on Revolution Cocktail, when it finally drops. We're waiting with open ears, REKS!

Video recordings of Year 11 physics lessons were analyzed to identify key features of teacher explanations. Important features of the explanations used included teachers' ability to move between qualitative and quantitative modes of discussion, attention to what students require to succeed in high stakes examinations, thoughtful use of analogies, storytelling and references to the history of science, the use of educational technology, and the use of humor. Considerable scope remains for further research into teacher explanations in physics.

They gave him medicine, diagnosed him with a felony and mental retardation
So he refuses to cease the firin', nobody's hirin'
from Lupe Fiasco – Ayesha Says (Intro) on Genius
He has a felony, so the only way to make money is by doing illegal things that got him the felony in the first place, because no one hires felons anymore so he must commit crimes to feed his family
The line "..cease the firin.."may allude to the Chicago anti-violence program CeaseFire. Which is a group of violence interrupters working on the street, mediating conflicts between gangs in an attempt to prevent retaliatory shootings and killings.

ASPEN, Colo. (AP) - Authorities are trying to identify the body of a man found in an area just out of bounds of the Highland Bowl at Aspen Highlands, where a skier had been reported missing earlier this month.
The person's identity wasn't immediately confirmed, but sheriff's officials say the body appears to be dressed in what 55-year-old Aspen resident and wine consultant Jeff Walker was wearing when he was last seen hiking the Highland Bowl on March 7.
Friends said he was an expert skier who frequently skied Highland Bowl. Aspen Skiing Co. spokesman Jeff Hanle says ski patrollers confirmed a body was in the area and called Pitkin County sheriff's officials, who plan to remove the body Thursday.

The Chapter Delegates Meeting is an event that brings together representatives from GCSAA-affiliated chapters. Delegates carry the opinions of their chapters' members regarding initiatives and issues affecting the profession, the association and its members to this meeting. In addition, they are responsible for communicating information they receive at the meeting to their chapter. Finally, this meeting is also the beginning of a new election year, as delegates meet GCSAA board candidates and discuss their campaign platforms.
According to Section IV.G. of the Affiliation Agreement, "A Chapter representative shall attend the annual Chapter Delegates meeting unless otherwise approv by the Chapter Relations Committee. If an affiliated chapter fails to send a representative, who is a member of the chapter, to the Chapter Delegates Meeting for two consecutive years, the chapter delegate's right to vote at the next annual meeting shall be suspended. A letter will be sent to all eligible voting members of the chapter, notifying them that their chapter lost its privilege to vote on behalf of its members at the annual meeting."
Participants in the Chapter Delegates Meeting include one representative from each GCSAA-affiliated chapter, the GCSAA Board of Directors, GCSAA board candidates and GCSAA department leaders and key staff.
Each year, several elections take place during the annual meeting at the
GCSAA Education Conference and Golf Industry Show. At the annual meeting, GCSAA voting members elect a new association
president, vice president, secretary/treasurer and directors. The offices of
president, vice president and secretary/treasurer are one-year terms, while
directors serve two-year terms.
Part of the preparation for this meeting is to ensure each chapter's voting roster is up-to-date. Delegates can do this by visiting the chapter voting roster portal. You can make additions/deletions to your roster from this portal. It will also show you who we have on file as your voting delegate and alternate.
During some election years, proposed bylaws amendments may be placed on the
ballot. These proposed amendments, if approved, change the language of GCSAA's
bylaws (the association's governing document). Bylaw amendments must be approved
by a two-thirds majority of those whose ballots are cast either through
individual votes, proxy votes or a chapter voting delegate.
Other ballot issues, such as a proposed dues increase, require a majority
vote to pass and become enacted.
All GCSAA Class A, Superintendent Member, AA, A-Retired and Superintendent
Member – Retired in good standing are eligible to vote at the annual meeting and
election. GCSAA Bylaws stipulate that any GCSAA voting member has the choice of
casting a ballot in GCSAA's annual election in one of the following ways:
If you have questions regarding the election process or voting options,
please contact Scott Woodhead.

Intel Cuts Processor Prices
Intel Corp, the world's largest computer chip maker, is cutting prices on a number of its high-powered processors in an attempt to cope with falling sales.
The company is facing weakening demand due to the global economic slowdown, and competition from Advanced Micro Devices Inc, but Intel says the changes are part of regularly scheduled price decreases.
Among the chips Intel is reducing, the Core 2 Quad Q9650 chip saw the one of the largest drops from a $530 list price in December to its new price of $316. The company also lowered prices on other quad-core chips, which have four processors on a single piece of silicon.
AMD, which has generally sold processors at cheaper rates than Intel, recently released its line of Phenom II quad-core chips which sell for $275.
According to Doug Freedman, analyst for American Technology Research, AMD has a much stronger portfolio than they did a year ago. Freedman added that Intel's move was a response to the current economic climate.
"I would put it as a standard move with the caveat … that the marketplace is far from in a standard condition and there's a more viable product out of their competitors," Freedman told Reuters. "To think that there is some impact there, yes, but I wouldn't be ready to call it the start of round two of a price war."
Intel also slashed prices on chips for notebooks and servers, along with other processors for use in desktop computers. The company's Xeon server chips were cut by 40 percent, while its Celeron mobile processor was cut 48 percent. The popular Pentium dual-core chips were lowered 24 percent.
Along with the price cuts, Intel introduced three energy-efficient Core 2 Quad processors for use in desktop computers.
Last week, the company reported a 23 percent drop in fourth-quarter revenue, but said it is expecting levels to bounce back by late 2009. The company would not release any quarterly forecasts due to uncertainty in the market.

Singer Patti Kim (74), who has been greatly loved by many people for the past 50 years, will retire. Patti Kim held a press conference at the international conference room of the Press Center on February 15 and announced that she will retire after she finishes her global concert tour entitled "Parting", which will begin in June to commemorate her retirement.
Her agency PK Production said, "Patti Kim celebrated the 54th anniversary of her debut as a singer this year and she has decided to retire. She will hold her last concert tour from June by visiting her fans at home and abroad who have shown love to her up to now. She made this decision regarding her retirement with great difficulty because singing on the stage has been regarded as the most important thing to her since her debut". Patti Kim passionately sang at her concert tour celebrating the 50th anniversary in 2008, so her decision is very surprising. But the rumor that she has been preparing her last concert has already been spreading from last year.
Patti Kim became a singer by singing for the US Army in Korea in 1958, and she has been regarded as the best diva in the Korean music industry. With her extraordinary singing ability and her charismatic and polished appearance, she has released many hit songs such as "Anthem to Seoul", "Thorn Bird", "Unforgettable", and "Love that Left Autumn Behind". Patti Kim set many records. In 1960, she became the first Korean singer whom the Japanese government invited after Korea's liberation, she used the term "recital" for the first time as a popular singer in 1962, and she hosted the TV program that was titled after a person's name for the first time in 1967. She performed at the Sejong Center for the first time as a popular singer in 1978 and she also performed at the world's renowned performing halls Carnegie Hall in New York and the Opera House in Sydney.
Patti Kim revealed her feelings about her fifty-year experience as a singer and why she has come to decide on retirement during the press conference. Popular music critic Im Jin Mo participated in the press conference and presented his opinions on how Patti Kim has influenced Korean popular music history.

I'm not saying what you did was wrong, but I'm 13 and i have a 34C bra size. I get made fun of for 'stuffing' my bra, but I don't. Appreciate your body, I would love to have it! It's embarrassing having bigger boobs than everyone else so enjoy being normal! And when people make fun of you, just smile and say "I don't know, why don't you check your own bra/pants. I got the idea from you after all!" (But only if it is really bad...dont be a bully!)

by Danceismylife123 on 5/9/2012 5:28:02 PM
I personally dont think it is right that some people are judging this girl hard for what she did in almost a rude way through comments. Sure it may seem a bit weird, but, hey everyone has somewhere weird they do. Just stuffing your bra may not be one of them. Plus, this is the ONLY thing we know about this girl, there are probably wayyy better things about her than this. Those things were just clouded over by this ONE incident.

Hi, I am only 13 years old but I have kind of an embarrassing question...are most girls supposed to shave...down there? I really dont know because I think some of my friends do it already.

Local roots; Neighbors wish happy birthday to a man and his tree
Friends and family gathered this week to wish a happy birthday to a very special man, and a very special tree.
Earl Brooks turned 93 on Thursday, August 13, in the shade of his 113-year-old Mysore fig tree – the largest of its kind in the United States and the Florida State Champion.
Locals know the tree because of its rare beauty, and also by the fruit, which the Brooks family turns into jelly. And many know Earl, not only because of his famous tree, but because of the generosity he shows to all that stop by.
On Thursday friends and neighbors gathered, not to see the tree, but join in the first surprise birthday party that Brooks has ever had.
"The tree is 113-years-old this year, and Earl is 93," said Audrey Brooks, Earls wife of 66 years. "We were all trying to think of something unusual to do for his birthday."
Visitors stop and take photos of the tree almost every day, the Brooks family says. So the family decided to have a surprise party for Earl in the shade of its 75-foot-tall branches.
Unlike Earl, the Mysore fig tree isn't native to the United States. It is from Mysore, India. The Brooks family believes that the tree was planted in 1896 by a friend of Thomas Alva Edison, in the hope that it would be helpful with the invention of rubber in the U.S.
A couple of guests at the party are very familiar with the Mysore fig trees. Doc and Shashi Nedkarni are originally from India, but have lived in Fort Myers for many years. They saw the tree when driving down Broadway Avenue in Estero.
The Nedkarni's joke that they wanted the Brooks family to sell them the property because of the tree, and if it is ever for sale, they should be the first to know.
And although the Brooks make jelly from the fruit, in India the fruit has a different purpose.
"It grows in the southern part of India," Doc Nedkarni said. "The fruit, you make wine from them."
As friends and family shared stories of the tree with those who stopped by, Earl Brooks read through a very large stack of birthday cards.
"We wanted him to receive 93 cards for his birthday," son Paul Brooks said. "We had 74 this morning and now we have more than 100."
Earl's daughters Linda Brisentine and Audrey Moss passed out cake to the guests, while his eldest son Earl, took photos of the event.
The photos will become a part of the mysorefigtree.com Web site which the family maintains. Here there are stories of the tree along with photos from throughout the years. Paul Brooks has even recorded every bit of hurricane damage that has been done to the tree since the first it weathered in 1916.
The family invites anyone driving through the area to stop and look at the very special tree and to say hello to Earl.
"The family is so generous," said neighbor Liz Abdelfattah who attended the party. "We first found the tree when we moved to the area and Mr. Brooks has been so wonderful to us."

Is this lens any good?
I'm interested in a Retina IIIs with the 35mm/f2.8 lens because it shouldn't cost so much.

Is this lens any good?
I'm interested in a Retina IIIs with the 35mm/f2.8 lens because it shouldn't cost so much.
I liked it....
(The Schneider Curtagon)
I think Rodenstock also made 2 35mm lenses for the camera: I tried the 35mm 4.0 and wasn't impressed.
I liked my Retina IIIS. Drawbacks were: not as ergonomic as a Leica, limited to 28mm widest and the 85mm (Schneider) lens was unimpressive.
Is this the rangefinder camera which takes the same lenses as the Retina Reflex?
If so, I can't comment on the 35mm lens but if it's as good as the Schneider 50mm f1.9, it should be good.
I have a couple of working Retina Reflex IIIs and would like a 35mm to go with the 50mm and 135mm I already have.
The 35mm Curtagon is good, but not great. A bit soft at wider apertures, but the colour rendition is excellent in keeping with other Schneiders. Agree that the Xenon is excellent, as is the Rodenstock Xsarex. Beautiful camera to use and look at though, and agree that the Tele-Arton could be better, not so much the image quality, but the thing doesn't focus near close enough for a portrait lens.
I think that the 28mm Curtagon is a better lens, slow at F4, but great colour.
I had my Tele-Arton adapted to my Bessamatic because I couldn't find a 90mm for it. BTW, the 35mm Skoparex from the Bessamatic is a superb lens and I think that they can be fitted to the Retinas quite easily.

I had a lot of fun playing with the Retina Reflex, Retina IIIS and Bessamatic, but found other cameras to be more effective photographic tools. Not because of "features", but mainly ergonomics, poor close focusing distances because of their mount (the Retina 200mm could come as close as 8 metres, the Voigtländer 350, IIRC, 20 metres!), in some cases excess flare, etc.
I found the Retina IIIS to be a very usable camera. The Retina Reflex S, III and IV were somewhat heavy cameras.
For the price, it's a very good camera. The original Reflex, S, III and IV are more complicated because of the mirror mechanism. Plus, the viewing system almost always needs a thorough cleaning, and is more complicated to disassemble.
Like the Retina IIIS, don't force the film advance and if you're buying one, make sure the film advance works correctly.
