Apologies for the interruption, but this is our quietist time of the year, and the improvement will be real. Subject to a certain amount of tension about the problems which will no doubt interrupt us, we are excited that the new format will be well worth it.
00:16 July 6, – 1153 cases.
- You will find here a very substantial quantity of case law – currently 50,000 cases and counting. We add many cases daily from a queue of 344,000. Much that we provide is unavailable elsewhere electronically whether through subscription services or otherwise.
- We try to help you decide what case law you need, and to do what we can to help you find the associated judgment.
- We index case law as it comes on line, summarising cases as they appear to be significant. As we find cases to be cited, they are cross referenced. The result can be a uniquely powerful way of finding your way through the lines of argument placed before the court.
Courts need the full text of any decision you wish to cite, but you must first identify the cases which may be relevant. That is what we aim to do. Other substantial and properly lauded sites provide full text of very many cases. We tend to know where these are, and can guide you to them.

Large space-based optical systems are expected to produce optical beams with large wavefront phase aberrations due to their size, weight limitations, optical misaligments and primary mirror imperfections. The present invention combines a phase diversity wavefront sensor with a real-time programmable two-dimensional array of liquid crystal variable retarders for wavefront correction.
1. In a large space-based optical system producing an optical beam representing an object scene, an adaptive optical system comprising:
a. an optical system producing an optical beam representative of an object scene;
b. a liquid crystal spatial light modulator with individual controllable elements through which said optical beam passes and capable of effecting phase aberration corrections to the optical beam;
c. a wavefront sensor means for estimating the optical beam wavefront phase aberrations to be sent to the liquid crystal spatial light modulator and outputting electronic signals indicative of said wavefront aberrations; and
d. a liquid crystal spatial light modulator controller driver means to receive said electronic signals and to thereby control the individual elements of said liquid crystal spatial light modulator to correct the estimated wavefront aberrations in a closed-loop system.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein said wavefront sensor means is comprised of a phase diversity wavefront sensor.
3. The system of claim 1 wherein the liquid crystal spatial light modulator consists of two sheets of liquid crystal which are oriented at 90 degrees to each other and sandwiched together.
The conditions under which this invention was made are such as to entitle the Government of the United States under paragraph 1(a) of Executive Order 10096, as represented by the Secretary of the Air Force, to the entire right, title and interest therein, including foreign rights.
The present invention relates generally to an adaptive optics imaging system and in particular to a phase aberration compensation system for large space-based optical systems using nematic liquid crystal spatial light modulators and phase diversity wavefront detection.
Adaptive optics have been used for a number of years to improve the image quality of large earth-based telescopes by compensating for phase aberrations induced by the atmosphere. Small temperature variations in the atmosphere induce fluctuations in the air's refractive index causing an initial plane wavefront to traverse different optical path lengths en route to the telescope focus. Over time the image is blurred. A wavefront sensor is used to measure phase aberrations caused by the atmosphere which then sends correcting signals to a mechanically activated deformable mirror. The control system needs to operate in frequency ranges of tens to thousands of Hertz to counter the small but rapid fluctuations of the atmosphere.
Very large optical telescopes with apertures of over several meters raise a number of design problems primarily due to weight limitations and structural integrity. Inflatable aperture and segmented aperture designs are being considered for the large primary mirror. The larger the primary aperture, the more difficult it becomes to hold mounts, structures, and surfaces to the needed optical tolerances. These space systems, when deployed, are expected to be out of optical alignment to a much larger extent than earth-based telescopes. Wavefront aberrations for space-based systems would be caused primarily by thermal effects and attitude control maintenance.
In contrast to earth-based atmospheric fluctuation induced aberrations, those for large space-based telescopes are expected to have wavefront phase aberrations of much greater amplitude but with considerably lower frequency. Mechanically activated deformable mirrors can handle the high frequency of atmospheric fluctuations but do not have the dynamic range necessary for the larger space-based aberrations.
An accurate determination of the wavefront errors is necessary before they can be removed by adaptive optics techniques. Earth-based adaptive optic telescopes generally used wavefront sensors based on measurements of point sources, such as a star or a laser beacon. Space-based telescopes used for earth observations, however, require a wavefront sensor based on the object scene.
Phase diversity is a known technique whereby the optical-system aberrations are derived directly from the object scene. Two images from the same optical beam with one containing a known induced aberration are compared to determine the wavefront errors. Phase diversity algorithms can be independent of the object scene content. The phase diversity concept is described in the following papers: R. A. Gonsalves, "Wavefront sensing by phase retrieval," SPIE Vol. 207, Applications of Digital Image Processing III (1979); R. A. Gonsalves, "Phase retrieval and diversity in adaptive optics," Opt. Eng. 21 829-832 (1982); and in U.S. Pat. No. 4,309,602.
An example of a phase diversity wavefront sensor is revealed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,610,707. A beamsplitter is used to split an optical input beam into identical half beam portions. A phase plate of known phase offset is interposed between one of the beams to generate an unfocused image of an object scene. The unfocused and best focused images are combined using phase diversity techniques to estimate wavefront aberrations present in the imaging system.
Large space-based optical systems would have large wavefront phase errors that are beyond the correction capabilities of deformable mirrors. These phase errors, however, change slowly over time compared to atmospheric fluctuations. Both of these characteristics are compatible with wavefront correction by liquid crystal spatial light modulators (LC SLM).
Nematic liquid crystal spatial light modulators with a pixelated liquid crystal structure have been demonstrated. (G. D. Love, et al, "Adaptive Wavefront Shaping with Liquid Crystals," Optics & Photonics News, Oct. 95 and G. D. Love, "Wavefront Correction and Production of Zemike Modes with a Liquid Crystal SLM.) The individual pixels can be accurately controlled to provide wavefront shaping and correction.
The present invention combines the object scene-based phase diversity technique with a liquid crystal spatial light modulator to correct phase errors induced in large space-based telescopes due to optical misaligments when deployed and primary mirror imperfections. Phase diversity permits the determination of wavefront phase errors without the necessity of a point source reference, thereby facilitating, for example, earth observations from space and simplifying the optical system. The large but relatively slowly changing aberrations of large space-based optical systems as determined by a phase diversity sensor are then corrected by a multi-element liquid crystal spatial light modulator.
FIG. 1 shows a typical hardware setup for phase diversity measurements known in the prior art.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a closed-loop implementation using phase diversity hardware and a LC SLM on a large optical system.
FIG. 3 is a schematic presentation of the preferred embodiment of the invention.
The present invention provides an active closed-loop control system that detects and corrects optical aberrations present in a large space-based imaging system. The preferred technique for detecting optical phase aberrations of a large space-based optical system is the technique of phase diversity. The phase diversity technique works well for extended objects and is relatively simple to implement. The estimated phase aberrations determined from the wavefront sensor are then corrected by a two-dimensional array of liquid crystal variable retarders acting as a real-time programmable phase mask.
Wavefront sensors using phase diversity employ both hardware and software. An example of a phase diversity wavefront sensor known in the prior art is shown in FIG. 1 (R. A. Carreras et al., Optics Communications, 130 (1996), p. 16). The optical beam is produced by the 81-cm Beam Director Telescope (BDT) located at Maui. Details of the rear blanchard containing the phase diversity hardware show a beamsplitter, spacer, and mirror configuration used to produce in focus and out of focus images for the camera. Both images are presented simultaneously to the same CCD camera so that the identical system aberrations are on each image. The difference between the two images is then due only to the defocus in the diversity image. The first surface reflection gives rise to the in-focus image. The flat mirror reflection gives the out of focus image. The spacer causes a path length difference of 0.8 mm corresponding to 1 wave of defocus. A phase diversity algorithm was applied to each frame of data to correct the optical system aberrations. The wavefront sensor of the present invention estimates the wavefront aberrations in near "real time." Corrections to the optical beam can then be made online by introducing the opposite phase shift into the elements of the LC SLM.
A diagram of the preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 2 and a schematic diagram shown in FIG. 3. An object scene 1 is imaged by a large space-based telescope 2. The telescope produces an optical beam 3 with various phase aberrations produced by the imaging system. A liquid crystal spatial light modular 4 (LC SLM), consisting of a two-dimensional array of liquid crystal variable retarders, is located in the optical beam between the telescope 2 and the hardware part 6 of the phase diversity wavefront sensor 12. The optical beam passes through the LC SLM to the wavefront sensor hardware 6.
For a phase diversity sensor, two images are produced. One image is the usual best focus image of the object scene degraded by the optical system aberrations. Inducing an additional known aberration onto the same focal plane (diverse image) forms the second image. Defocus was the induced aberration in FIG. 1, where the difference in path length caused by the spacer was 0.8 mm. This corresponded to 1 wave of defocus.
The electronic signals representing these images 7 are sent to a computer 8 that estimates the wavefront phase aberrations of the optical beam 5 based on a phase diversity algorithm. The computer 8 outputs this information 9 to the LC SLM controller driver 10. The controller driver sends signals to 11 induce the opposite phase into each element of the LC SLM, thereby correcting the optical beam 3 for real-time aberration control.
A Meadowlark Optics two-dimensional spatial light modulator (HEX-127P-λ) was used for laboratory tests of this system. It consists of a two-dimensional array of liquid crystal variable retarders that act as a real-time programmable phase mask for wavefront correction. Since the nematic liquid crystals in these modulators are polarization sensitive, the preferred LC SLM 4 device uses two sheets of liquid crystal which are oriented at 90 degrees to each other and sandwiched together.

Deleon, a former retail sales representative for Verizon Wireless, filed suit on behalf of himself and other aggrieved employees seeking civil penalties under the Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (Lab. Code, § 2698 et seq.) for violation of Labor Code section 223, which prohibits the secret underpayment of wages.
Deleon's compensation plan included commission payments, which Verizon could recover (or "charge back") against future commissions, if certain conditions were not met. That is, commissions would be paid in advance, but not earned until the expiration of a chargeback period during which a customer could cancel the service. If the customer canceled the service during the chargeback period, Verizon could recover the commission already paid out. At issue was whether such a chargeback provision violated section 223 by "secretly pay[ing] a lower wage while purporting to pay the wage designated by statute or contract." It did not.
The court held that Verizon could legally advance commission payments to its retail sales representatives before completion of all conditions for payment (these payments were advances, not wages), and charge back any excess advance over commissions earned against future advances should the conditions not be satisfied.

Many of you noticed and remarked on something we were pretty pleased with a week and a half ago. We had the results of the UNC-Duke basketball game in The Herald-Sun the morning after the game.
Amazing. Just ... amazing.
Here we are, six years later, six years of mom jeans and golf dates and taking the girls for ice cream. And yet, some of us are still hung up on the perceived "otherness," the "not like us"-ness, of Barack Obama.
In the mid-1970s, my wife, Pat, and I lived in an apartment that was half the second floor of a house on Raleigh's Chamberlain Street, a few blocks from the N.C. State University campus.
Just off the University of North Carolina campus on East Franklin Street in Chapel Hill, a little-noticed plaque put there in 2003 (replacing an earlier one) notes that road is part of the Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway.
The news that Google, that juggernaut of the Information Age, is bringing super-high-speed Internet connections to Durham and the rest of the Triangle generated no small amount of excitement last week.
I've noted before that The Herald-Sun is about to hang its shingle in new quarters this month. As I write this mid-week, we're on the very cusp of that move. When you read this, if all has gone well, we'll be in our new digs – although it may be another day or so.
Ten years ago Saturday – yesterday – I became editor of The Herald-Sun, returning to Durham after a 35-year absence. What a decade it has been since.
It is hard to believe another year is just days away. If time seems to drag when we're young, its pace accelerates as birthdays pile up.
But, ready or not, 2015 is at our doorstep.
Not long after I moved back here a decade ago, I observed to a Duke professor that I was struck that virtually every student I saw on campus seemed to be on a cell phone or displaying the tell-tale dangling white cords of iPod earbuds.
Protestors who have filled city streets have succeeded in driving a community conversation not just about police practices, the criminal justice system, race and society, but also about protest itself.
"Don't know much about history
"Don't know much biology
"Don't know much about a science book
"Don't know much about the French I took"
-- Sam Cooke, "Wonderful World,"
Nov. 22 passed relatively quietly eight days ago. Not much was made of the cataclysmic event that occurred 51 years before, although it was mentioned here and there in the news.
Alert readers will notice a familiar name missing from our masthead – that of Nancy Wykle.
Let me assure you it reflects great news. Nancy, a valued colleague for the past decade, has been promoted to editor and publisher of the Daily Dispatch in Henderson, owned, as is The Herald-Sun, by the Paxton Media Group.
The national debate over big-time college athletics, given greater impetus in the past couple of decades as television and marketing revenue has fueled soaring expenditures, has in the past year or so deepened further.
A couple weeks ago, I finally finished after many fits and starts a wonderful book by my old friend and former colleague Ed Williams.
Williams, now retired, was for many years editor of the editorial pages at The Charlotte Observer, and for several of those years I was a mid-level editor on the news side of the paper. His book, "Liberating Dixie," is a collection of columns and editorials he crafted with characteristic grace, wisdom and incisiveness over the years. Reading it was in some ways discouraging, since I was reminded on page after page how I could never measure up to the caliber of Williams' work.

|The PSI should not use a lot of resources unless it is scanning. It will start an automatic scan when 7 days have passed since the last scan. If you find the PSI to use too many resources during this weekly scan you can decide in the settings to only start and scan with the PSI manually.
The PSI does not use a lot of RAM but I think you will experience a generally faster computer if you increase your RAM to above your current 1 GB.
Thank you for pointing out the issue with the Forgot password? feature. We are now working to get it fixed.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Marvin White was charged with armed robbery in connection with the murder of Chinese delivery driver Zehn Bo Liu in June. Now police say he's in trouble again.
After being charged in connection with Liu's murder, White was released on bond. But now, armed robberies over the weekend have landed White back in jail, and left Wilmington Police Chief Ralph Evangelous questioning why he was back on the streets at all.
"He was back on the streets, and now we've charged him with two more armed robberies involving a handgun," Evangelous said.
Evangelous said officers arrested White again for two armed robberies over the weekend downtown. Now Evangelous is fired up, saying the police are doing their part to put criminals away and can't understand why repeat offenders like white are back on the streets.
"He's a danger to society," Evangelous said. "He shouldn't be back out on the street, and we don't know what else he's involved in. We're looking at him potentially for some other crimes out there."
Evangelous says he is not sure exactly where the break in the system is, but he thinks the public should be asking questions.
"Aan armed robbery? As far as I'm concerned that's the 'felony murder rule.' I mean if you commit a felony and a death occurs… I don't quite understand it. I think the public should ask why," Evangelous said.
We reached out to District Attorney Ben David today, but he declined to comment.

TORONTO -- The same pitching staff that has carried the Red Sox to the American League's best record in April stumbled on the final night of the month -- and the offense couldn't quite do enough to overcome
the off-night by the pitchers.
A bases-loaded double from David Ortiz gave the Red Sox their first lead of the night in the top of the seventh, but in the bottom of the same inning, a two-run homer by Edwin Encarnacion off reliever Junichi Tazawa proved too much to overcome as the Sox saw their five-game winning streak
end with an 9-7 setback to the Toronto Blue Jays.
The homer was just the third allowed by Tazawa in the last two seasons.
Joel Hanrahan, returning from a DL stint, pitched the eighth and allowed an insurance run to the Jays.
Jon Lester was far from sharp, allowing six runs in six innings of work. A two-run throwing error by Jarrod Saltalamacchia didn't help matters.
The Sox began to chip away with solo homers from Ortiz, Mike Carp and Jonny Gomes before Encarnacion hit the first of two homers -- a moon shot into the top deck off Lester.
Ortiz's double put them ahead -- but only briefly.
STAR OF THE GAME: Edwin Encarnacion
Encarnacion hit two homers -- the first a tape-measure blast that landed in the upper deck of Rogers Centre; the second erased a 7-6 lead the Sox had built in the top of the seventh -- and drove in four runs. He became just the 14th player to reach the 500 Level of Rogers Centre with the first blast.
HONORABLE MENTION: David Ortiz
It came in a losing cause, but Ortiz continued his torrid (if delayed) start to the season, with a solo homer and a bases-loaded three-run double that (briefly) gave the Red Sox their only lead of the night. Ortiz has knocked in 15 runs in his first nine games back from the DL.
GOAT OF THE GAME: Junichi Tazawa
Tazawa was entrusted with a one-run lead in the seventh but couldn't make it hold up for more than four batters, allowing a two-run homer to Encarnacion.
TURNING POINT: Though the game was lost in the seventh, a throwing error by Jarrod Saltalamacchia was critical in the third. The Jays scored two runs as Saltalamacchia attempted to pick off Jose Bautista at first base. The catcher claimed his elbow hit the mask of home plate umpire Clint Fagan, and ball should have been declared dead.
BY THE NUMBERS: Mike Carp, who hit his first homer for the Sox, is 11-for-21 in his past seven games.
QUOTE OF NOTE: "At the time, over-aggressiveness on our part. ... Not a real good heads-up play, given the situation.'' -- John Farrell on Jacoby Ellsbury being picked off second base in the third inning.

By Geoffrey R. Harris, MD
From controversy about Teflon to confusion about how to use nonstick surfaces, cooking without using too much oil can be perplexing. Read on to find out how to use and how to choose when it comes to nonstick.
Like many couples, when my wife and I got married, we received a set of nonstick cookware from our registry, but it is only now that we really understand how to use our Teflon-coated pots and pans appropriately. Using nonstick cookware is very different than using the cast iron skillets that we both grew up with. Neither of us had much experience with Teflon. In fact the first nonstick pan I owned was the one I received in college after opening up a checking account on campus. That pan, like so many other misused nonstick skillets, started peeling and flaking after about 3 months of frequent cooking on high heat using the metal spatula I had purchased at Goodwill.
At SuperFoods, we encourage cooking with only a small amount of oil, so learning to safely use nonstick pans is essential to living a SuperFoods HealthStyle. I use our nonstick pans to cook eggs and sauté spinach with only a very small amount of olive oil. For cooking chicken or other meat, I prefer to use a stainless steel skillet because I have found that nonstick skillets don't brown food as well. Either way, I try to use as little oil as possible when cooking.
One of the first questions that I always get about nonstick pans is in relation to the Teflon controversy. Teflon and other nonstick surfaces are made from a fluoropolymer paint that is manufactured using PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid). PFOA is mostly removed during the production of the nonstick coating, but some studies have suggested that there may be trace amounts of PFOA in the final coating. There are currently no known human health effects caused by PFOA, but studies are ongoing. At high levels, PFOA is likely to be a carcinogen, but the science is lacking. Consumer Reports performed laboratory studies on nonstick pans and found that new and used pans heated to 400 degrees Fahrenheit released very little PFOA. Unfortunately, most of our exposure to PFOA comes from environmental contamination from the manufacturing, use, and disposal of electronic parts, oil-resistant coatings, and waterproof fabrics, not from the use of pots and pans. Arguably, this means that the production of Teflon causes some of the environmental exposure that ends up in our food supply and water, but at this time the FDA does not consider the use of nonstick cookware a significant PFOA exposure source.
The FDA and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission have both examined the scientific data regarding nonstick coatings and deemed the surfaces safe when used for conventional kitchen use. Teflon has been used for over 40 years, in more than 40 countries. There is only one report of reversible, flu-like symptoms in a human after a nonstick pan was severely overheated. There are also reports of domesticated birds dying after empty nonstick pans were left on the stove on high heat. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system and probably shouldn't be kept in the kitchen. When nonstick coatings are overheated, the surface will begin to degrade and release fumes. This occurs when temperatures exceed 600 degrees Fahrenheit which is well above the smoking point of oils, fats, and butter as well as well above the recommended maximum temperature for nonstick pans. Consequently, my strongest recommendation is not to leave any empty pan on high heat. While this seems intuitive, accidents do happen. I had a roommate in medical school who fell asleep while trying to make a late-night spaghetti dinner and severely damaged a Teflon pan after the water boiled off. The deteriorating Teflon and melting plastic handle set off our smoke alarm at 2:00 AM, but besides a ruined pot no harm was done.
I consider nonstick cookware safe when used appropriately. Here is a list of guidelines for using these pots and pans properly:
Read the use and care information that comes with your cookware. If you purchase a loose pan, check the brand's website for this information.
Unless otherwise indicated, avoid using metal spatulas and utensils which may damage the coating when cooking with a nonstick pan. Use silicone or plastic utensils.
Clean the pans in the sink using mild detergent and a sponge or plastic scrubber. Do not use Brillo pads, steel wool, or metal scrubbers on nonstick surfaces. Generally, nonstick cookware should not be put in the dishwasher.
Don't use nonstick pans if you don't need to. Reserve your nonstick for eggs, vegetables, and other foods that stick easily to pans. You don't need a nonstick pan to boil water for pasta. Use a stainless steel pot on high heat to boil water—you can add a little oil to the water to keep pasta from sticking to the bottom or sides, if you need to.
Don't overheat your nonstick pans. I can't stress this enough. When using a nonstick pan, cook on low or medium heat. Also, do not leave your pans unattended, especially when empty. Turn off the heat as soon as you are done cooking.
When the nonstick surface appears scratched or pitted, it is time to get a new pan. We have had to replace the skillet that we use regularly because it began to pit after a few years of consistent use. Remember, nothing lasts forever. Flaking occurs after the nonstick coating reaches a later stage of deterioration. While flakes of Teflon are inert and not poisonous, we shouldn't be eating them. Get rid of pans when the surface starts to pit or peel.
If oils or fats are smoking, then the pan is too hot. Never preheat your pans on high heat. High heat is unnecessary for typical cooking. My wife and I have learned to cook at low temperatures and have been very successful at creating delicious, healthy meals. Many people think more heat is better or faster, but newer pans conduct heat well and are actually designed to cook evenly and efficiently at lower heat. Give low heat cooking a try.
If you are in the market for new pans, check out the January 2008 Consumer Reports review of cookware that is available online at www.consumerreports.org.
Finally, be sure to choose a roommate who doesn't fall asleep while cooking. I don't know about you, but I am not a fan of waking to the shrieking of a smoke alarm that has been set off by a burning nonstick pan.

Obama Plays Golf With Tiger Woods
By editor
Good morning, I'm Linda Wertheimer.
President Obama is spending the holiday at a private golf resort in Florida. Yesterday, he played 27 holes with Tiger Woods. Reporters were not allowed to watch. The White House Correspondents Association expressed extreme frustration. The White House says this is consistent with other golf outings; something the White House Press Corps can discuss at the Holiday Inn, eight miles away.

Beware of the cat striking back . . .
On a lovely moonlit night, Joe Grey is minding his own business, carrying a gift of mice to a litter of kittens, when he stumbles upon a murder scene. Behind an empty house lies a swimming pool, its bottom covered with mud. There is also blood, the smell of human death, and drag marks. But there is no victim. Without a body, it's a crime that will be hard to prove.
With stubborn feline curiosity, Joe Grey sets out to investigate. As he, Dulcie, and Kit follow the killer's trail among four houses whose owners are on vacation, they discover that more murder has been planned for the small, close-knit neighborhood. They uncover evidence of conflict among the residents and multiple signs of breaking-and-entering, although nothing valuable seems to be missing.
With the help of two local ferals, the cats find the victim's hidden grave and learn of the violence that is yet to come. As they set out to alert the law, they discover the perfect way to thwart the killerthrough that person's unnatural but powerful fear of cats.
Thus unfolds the next installment in Shirley Rousseau Murphy's beguiling series about the gray tomcat P.I., his feline friends, and human companions, as, skirting danger, they unravel events shaped by human frailty and by the darkest feline imaginings from the killer's past.
Shirley Rousseau Murphy has received nine national Cat Writers' Association Awards for best novel of the year, two Cat Writers' President's Awards, the "World's Best Cat Litterary Award" for the Joe Grey books, and five Council of Authors and Journalists Awards for previous books. She and her husband live in Carmel, California, where they serve as full-time household help for two demanding feline ladies.

Michael Keaton Is Proud of His 'Batman' and Would Play Him Again
Michael Keaton fondly looks back at his time spent under the cowl on Tim Burton's 1989 'Batman' and still considered it an interesting movie.
Tim Burton's BATMAN, inspired by Frank Miller's graphic novel "The Dark Knight Returns," is a Gothic, Wagnerian treatment of the Batman mythos that explains the origins of Batman (Michael Keaton) and his nemesis, the maniacal Joker (a ripe Jack Nicholson). Gotham City is a sunless, ominous haven for criminals, held in the corrupt grip of crime boss Carl Grissom (the ever-magnetic Jack Palance), and terrorized by a sadistic vandal and murderer known as The Joker. But it isn't long before a dark, mysterious caped crusader, who goes by the name of BATMAN, is on their trail and trying to thwart their evil doings. In this darkly entertaining retelling of the DC comic classic, ace photojournalist Vicki Vale (warmly and sympathetically played by Kim Basinger) is also on the trail--she wants to find out who Batman really is. Based on the popular comic book character created by Bob Kane for DC Comics; the story and tone have nothing in common with the popular TV series of the 1960s. Imaginative special effects and imposing, Gothic architectural sets dominate this visually graphic, stylish film. Keaton gives a brooding performance as the Caped Crusader and his interestingly understated alter-ego Bruce Wane. But is it Nicholson's Joker that steals the show, with his unnerving, brilliantly maniacal portrayal, especially in the context of his twisted relationship with Grissom's gal Alicia (a lanky, disquieting Jerry Hall).

Antigua is a stunning place - Betty's Hope is one of the places you must see - traditional mill
One of the best Caribbean islands to visit
Learning from our tour guide about the plantation and the history of it. It's amazing how these sugar cane was made when it was working.
Don't waste your time going to see this pile of broken rocks resting on a dirt landscape unless you have a fantastic imagination and can picture Betty's Hope as it was centuries ago. Not much to see here at all. Just a small information center with some photos and a few artifacts. Even the road into this place was hard...
Not worth going to as there is nothing there. There are just ruins and walls that are about a foot high
Fascinating part of Antigua history. Mills are a reminder of past trade. Opportunity to recreate some of history in this site to make living museum.
Only just about worth seeing as part of a tour. Don't go especially to see. Pretty much a total ruin.
We visited Betty's Hope in December 2013. Established in 1650 during the British colonial rule, it was the first large-scale sugar plantation to operate in Antigua. Following restoration work, today it stands as a major heritage monument of the island, but also a sad reminder of the Caribbean slave trade. Unfortunately the visitor center/museum wasn't open on the day that...
We visited in May and were the only people there. There is a small information centre there but it wasn't open that day. Betty's Hope is well maintained and although there isn't much to see its quite an emotional place to visit, imagining the days of slavery and the horrific things that would have happened there.
Not up to standard. As if the Government wanted to hide slavery. Needs money spent on it. Did not like it.
Until about the middle of the 20th Century, sugar cane was the staple, and almost the only, source of funding in Antiqua. Initially, of course, this was resourced by slavery. Betty's Hope is a restored plantation which shows the layout and functions of the plantation which included two windmills - the remains of windmills all over the island bear witness...

Study: we wasted 4.8 million hours playing Pac-Man on Google
Original post made by Googlewatch, News on Mountain View's largest employer, on May 28, 2010
[Web Link A study of traffic on Google's homepage] found that the average visitor during the Pac-Man tribute spent an extra 36 seconds there.
The obvious conclusion to be drawn here, according the tongue-in-cheek study, is that at least 4,819,352 man hours were lost playing the game, which cost the economy $120,483,800 if labor is calculated at $25 an hour.

Livestock: Moof I have an idea
Moof: okay go
Livestock: you know how on the stock market
Livestock: you can buy stocks in companies
Livestock: or gold or whatever
Livestock: well what if there was a market where you buy shares in breeds of dogs
Livestock: like you could buy shares of huskies in the summer at low prices, then sell them high come winter when they really shine
Moof: hmm that is a good idea
Moof: after christmas when all the unwanted pets are left to rot on the streets by uncaring children i could buy them cheap
Moof: and then sell them for a lot more next year before christmas as gifts for children
Livestock: yes well not the pets themselves but shares in that breed
