kingal: Many thanks... one last question.
Any advice as to Panasonic GH3 or Olimpus EM1 for shooting portraits? I would use the Olimpus 75mm 1,8.
Thanks in advance for any advice
I would say that yes, it depends on how big your studio is, but in fact, really it's more a question of how far back you want the backdrop to be in case you do not want light spill from the strobes. If your subject has to be 2-3m (or 10-12ft) forward from the backdrop, then yes, it can be tight to frame the 75mm prime in a small-ish studio, for a half-length portrait.
The 45mm is really a stellar performer, you can't go wrong with it for all the right reasons, and the next step up I probably prefer from a FL point of view, is the 60mm Oly macro lens if you ever need to consider it. This is a brilliantly sharp and color/distortion free lens. A perfect 120mm equivalent FL lens for studio portraiture.
monographix: i still dont get in reality terms the "pocket" factor when a camera has interchangeable lenses ... When a "compactish" camera is fitted with a lens that cannot fold then the differences in size you gain from making the body thinner are truly negligible. The size depth of any interchangeable lens camera i believe in reality cancels any pocket size notion.
Yes, true to a certain extent, and this is certainly ONE perspective and ONE set of factors that may or may not suit a user (like you maybe), however, there are also a lot of users who would like the form factor of a tiny body, but who will not accept the compromises that a non-removable zoom lens makes in overall IQ terms. So this GM1 is aimed at them.
OTOH, Olympus is rumored to be designing & releasing the other type of pocketable m4/3 compact camera, and it may be similar in size but with a non-removable collapsible zoom lens. This may then appeal to that other group of users who want a larger sensor than the 1" Sony RX100, in a compact camera form-factor, but don't mind too much with the IQ compromises that a non-removable zoom lens incurs.
It's all a matter of trade-offs... and it's the range of choices that the m4/3 system offers that makes it so compelling. I am glad that the system is really developing and maturing so nicely.
maxola67: It looks like non-sense camera in terms of size.
Lens size would be half and more of a whole camera volume.
It's not casual that Pentax provided Q-series with a special designed bayonet, lenses and ,yes, small sensor.
So what did panas want to say releasing that?
LOL, if the size is too small for you, you have the option to get a Panny GF, GX, GH, G, or Oly PEN EP-M, EP-L, EP, or OM-D body. All with increasing size and feature set. This camera was built so that Panny could stop producing its lower end compact cameras, but yet with essentially the same-sized form-factor, but with much higher quality and specs.
This represents great choice & and freedom for photographers who really want a very compact but very high quality compact camera.
So it makes TREMENDOUS sense in terms of size. The Pentax Q series is now severely challenged, why would you need Panny to say anything? The entire range of m4/3 lenses can be used with this camera... duh!
fibonacci1618: Errm, I think a photo is a photo is a photo... it doesn't matter which camera took the shot. If it is a good photo, captures the moment beautifully, proved useful as a photographic tool to the person taking the shot, it does not matter one bit whether it was a Nikon D4 or an iPhone 5s that took the shot.
Colour, contrast, noise reduction, etc. that are done in post-processing, equally apply to any digital photo, taken by any camera, even in medium format cameras!
BUT... there are limitations to a phone cam, and some pretty severe ones at that, but as always, use the tool to suit the job at hand. If it gets the job done, despite the limitations, well then good on you!
It's great to see phone cams advancing so quickly - I, for one, don't feel insecure with that! Heck, put a 1" sensor in it, and have the option to change lenses too (whopee!), but please.... keep it first a phone, then a camera.
Yes trivial to you and me, but you'd be forgiven for thinking that the opposite is true when reading the many comments on here...
My comment was on photos *taken* and displayed in this article, therefore, a photo is a photo is a photo. Missed opportunities because the phone cam didn't or couldn't capture the shot is a usability issue, and therefore if it can't get the job done, well then it doesn't quite suit the purpose.
Am certain that in the very near future, even the usability issue will fade away as hardware and software technology for phone cams advance.

As usual, the m4/3 haters hv come out to bash the new E-M1 with the same old tired & irrelevant comparisons with FF cams. I see it as a compliment that some folks r so jealously flinging mud at the E-M1 by pitting it against the FF cams. It's like comparing a BMW M3 vs M5... each has it's merits & if you're in the market for one, it comes down to your personal preferences. Do you NEED one? Who CARES? That's your privilege! Just stop being so bitchy about everything, ESPECIALLY if you're not interested in one.
What really matters to Oly, Canon, Nikon et. el. is whe consumers adopt their products. If the numbers coming from Amazon US r anything to go by, then it's highly promising so far!
"12 hours after the announcement the Olympus E-M1 is the most sold (orders+ preorders) digital camera at Amazon US. The ranking includes all camera like compact cameras, Sony QX, DSRL and Mirrorless cameras... And the 12-40mm lens is on second place of the Lens ranking..." according to 43rumours.
Yesss... I see this asa serious threat to Canon & Nikon, challenging them to finally re-think their reluctance of not wanting to seriously go down the APS-C and FF mirrorless route. The EOS M and Nikon 1 were feeble attempts at skinny dipping in the pool of MILC without taking the plunge.
Now that Sony is really putting pressure on the Rebels and D3xxx series, me thinks Canon & Nikon can no longer hold back. The price difference between this A3000 and the entry-level DSLRs is substantial and cannot be ignored. If they do, Sony is likely to put a serious dent in their market share.
I'm curious to see if they introduce an "A5000" series that competes directly with the Nikon D5200, but priced at the D3200 level. Now THAT would really be something.
fibonacci1618: I have the Olympus TG-2 & am amazed that DPreview omitted a v impt feature it has over all the other cameras, & perhaps any other camera in the world: an ultra macro mode that is unbelievable. It can take ultra macro shots of in excess of 14:1 ratio (to me it appears more like 25x magnification) in digital enhanced mode or 5:1 in optical mode. The digital enhanced mode is v good & really works well. It's truly a digital microscope camera. This blew me away & I admit this was the one feature that sold me on the camera.
Also not mentioned is the fact that you can use the on board LED lamp to not only focus assist, but to illuminate & capture the subject (stills or video), & this is a real plus if you have ever tried to shoot macro.
But the icing on the cake is that the TG-2 also can shoot using the Olympus wireless TTL flash system where the TG-2 acts as the commander for one or more remote slave flashes. This is a high end feature not found on compacts. Again great for macro shots!
Thanks, I stand corrected about the LED feature, and the wireless flash was mentioned but I did not mean to say that you omitted it. Given these highly unusual & advanced features, I can't help but wonder if the camera deserved better, but no biggie as it is already your top 2 choice. For me, I look forward to the TG-3 if they improve the LCD screen and add RAW capability. Oh, and a 1/1.7" sensor would really help...
bbfolgart: For me it was ergonomics. I loved the V1 and still use it extensively however the V2 design was too far away from the V1 that it was evident they were going in a different direction.
For a camera that purportedly sold very well in Asia and Europe I wondered why the big design change. If they took the V3 back to a camera similar to the V1 I would probably upgrade.
Perhaps they thought the V line was too close to the Coolpix A and in terms of design. they seem like first cousins. But in terms of performance there is no comparison. I remain astonished by the shutter performance of the V1 and it has allowed me to capture pictures that to this point I haven't figured out how to with a 'normal' dslr.
Yes bbfolgart, and it is only a photographer who has actually used a Nikon 1 camera who can then truly appreciate it for it's excellent photographic qualities. Non-users who snipe it and deride it have no idea what they're talking about...
Let's hope Nikon takes a leap forward with the Nikon 1 system in future. Get the basics such as body design and features right, give it a price tag that is within the same range as other comparable ILC cameras, and it will slowly but surely gain a footing.
ManuelVilardeMacedo: I'm fed up with reading completely uninformed comments about the micro 4/3 format's handicaps. Although I'm mostly reluctant to show my photographs, I'm publishing the links below to show how wrong those comments are.
They say it has too much depth of field and no bokeh; well, just look at this:
They also say it's impossible to photograph subjects in motion with a micro 4/3 camera:
And I read below that it has low image quality (though this particular picture does actually showcase the sensor's difficulty with highlights):
All these pictures were taken with a now obsolete Olympus E-P1. You can confirm it by checking the EXIF data.
So please stop commenting BS!
@Manuel, it's ok, folks who shoot down any camera brand or format will always be the same - they are blind, and are in love with photography for equipment sake, and not for the art. It always makes me laugh to think that poor Ansel Adams must be, to them, a really horrible photographer or had really bad cameras since they were not digital SLRs with FF 24 to 36 Mp sensors, and worse - were in black & white! And he didn't have Photoshop CC or Lightroom 5!
I'm happy with any camera so long as it gets the job done with results that inspire me... and others!
Nikon has a fantastic feature set & image processing engine in the Nikon 1 system. For what it is, it has fantastic focus speed that is still class-leading in the ILC world (with on-sensor PDAF), good video, great OOC color that beats their DSLRs (I have used Nikon's DSLRs so I know what I'm talking about), image noise that is tolerable bec it appears film-like, great FPS speed, etc.
But they blundered on pricing, on the ugly design of the V2, incomprehensible launch of the J2 followed closely by the J3, slow release of good primes, for starters. So many mis-steps. And now, they choose to delude themselves that the ILC market is not growing.
"But people who like cameras tend to just go for SLRs, even though they're very heavy." Oh my gosh... what a terrible mistake to take this view. It's obviously a case of internal politicking between two camps within Nikon.
It's funny how Oly blames their under-performance on a delayed launch of the EP-5, but chooses to ignore the ridiculous high price it launched it at, i.e. more expensive than the OM-D E-M5. And now that the Panny GX7 is out, are they going to blame their continued under-performance on the GX7 too?
Features-wise, the EP-5 appears to lose-out to the GX7, and now that Panny has implemented IBIS, many Oly m4/3 users may not hesitate to go with Panny.
Oly needs to step up its game if it wants to maintain its apparent lead. With the GH3 and now the GX7, Panny's finally shaking off it's mistake with the GF series post GF1 (at least from the more-advanced enthusiasts' point of view).

The most important unknown at the moment is the IQ of the lens, although I'm sure the price is going to be too high for many. But it is what it is, i.e. a Leica design, f/1.2 lens. If the price is too high for, then go get the Oly 45 f/1.8. There is now a niche for both types of user, those who are happy with the Oly and its price, and those whose needs (or pockets) justify the Panny 42.5mm.
There's also the Voigtlander 42.5mm f/0.95 to boot.
There's no other lens system in the world that offers such a fantastic range in just this focal length - not even Leica has a Noctilux lens in this 85 to 90mm focal length.
So, I'm just glad m4/3 is maturing nicely. Now, let's see what the price will be.
This is frankly almost too good to be true, in that it offers ultra wide angle at one end, and ultra tele at the other end. Really wonder if the lens ends up making too much of a compromise at the wide end, or at the long end.. Will have to wait & see the sample results.
16mp on a 1/2.3" really is pushing it. If the sensor has been further optimized so that the photosites more effectively capture light, & it ends up achieving the same quality results as an existing 12mp sensor, then fine. But I'm already sensing (pun intended) that 12mp is already pushing it in current sensors & ideally it should be 10mp for this small sensor size. Oh well.
I'm hoping that 16mp is an indication that Panny has designed the 1200mm end of the zoom to have high enough resolving power & quality... That would be an amazing feat in itself. And at f/5.9 to boot. Really not bad...
This is not a rear-element focusing lens and remains the same as the old 20mm f/1.7 (i.e. front-element focusing). It's sad they did not take the trouble to improve on that aspect from the old lens. I suppose changing the AF method to REF would have required a radical change to the lens design and it would no longer be the same lens... But so what?
itsastickup: Nice, but seriously folks, AF is crucial. And I speak as an manual focus shooter of the last 6 years.
If you have enough light, AF is really great & I can't live without it... However, try focusing in very dim lighting using AF, in conditions where you need the f/0.95 aperture, & you will greatly appreciate the excellent manual focusing quality of these Voigt lenses. No AF system can focus well in very very low light conditions without some AF-assist feature, & even then, it can be hit or miss. And for video, I have always found manual focusing more reliable than full time AF, again especially in low light. So the reasons for not having AF on a f/0.95 lens where it is intended for extreme low light applications makes sense to me, and actually works for me. This did not occur to me until I actually used it in very poor lighting where my AF lenses just could not focus-lock and I had to manually focus them anyway. Trust me, focus-by-wire on an AF lens is a far cry from the manual focus on these Voigtlander lenses.
white shadow: Cosina Voigtlander seems to be obsess with making f/0.95 lenses for micro 4/3 which may not be a bad thing.
The 25mm f/0.95 introduced about three years ago was ground breaking. By f/2.0, it is very sharp with little vignetting and very low CA. It reach its peak performance at f/2.8. The beauty is it manage to do it without in-camera correction. The built quality is impecable, not surprising as they also make Carl Zeiss and M mount compatible lenses for Leica. The good thing is it has an infinity stop for low light photography and landscape. Close focusing capability is also excellent.
However, the 17.5mm fell a bit short on expectation. Optically, it is not as good as the 25mm. Its bigger, heavier and cost about USD350 more. Let's hope this 42.5mm does not disappoint.
For this focal length I would prefer to use the Oly 45mm f/1.8 which has faster focusing. It is also lighter, smaller and cheaper. Unless this lens prove to be optically superior, it may not be worth it.
I own the 17.5mm f/0.95 lens & I can say without reservation that it is sharp even at f/0.95. Photos may appear a little "soft" to many, but that's not the same thing as lens sharpness. Also, the consensus seems to be that the 17.5mm is sharper than the 25mm wide open. When you are shooting at f/0.95, you can get a nice soft glow quality to the "feel" of the photo (esp for close subjects), but that's typical of ultra-wide aperture lenses. This is arguably a desirable trait & quality. Areas that are in focus are sharp, and if you want it sharper, a little USM in PP achieves all the sharpness I need without destroying the overall feel of the shot. The real benefit of shooting f/0.95 on m4/3 is that you have more DOF & therefore the lens can be used for more regular shooting applications, esp in v dim lighting. f/0.95 on FF has such a razor thin DOF that it can be v tricky to work with. That's the trade off. In this case, for my shooting styles, I prefer f/0.95 on m4/3.
I have used the Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95 on my O-MD for a year now & I can say that it is an astounding lens! It is sharp even at f/0.95. Many complain about the lack of v shallow depth of field at f/0.95 from the 17.5 compared to what it would be on a full-frame sensor, but I can tell you that this complaint is only one side to the coin.. bec it is more useful to me that the greater depth of field at f/0.95 is what I need in very low light situations where I'm not shooting portraits and DON'T want very shallow depth of field. This is simply not possible at f/0.95 on a full-frame camera where the depth of field is so razor thin that it is only really useful for portraits or special applications, & even then, I doubt many will shoot portraits at f/0.95 on FF. I have shot 1/3 & even 1/2 sec handheld photos in very very low light situations with the 17.5 & am astounded! And shooting video with a manual focus lens is a dream, esp in low light. I look forward to this new 42.5mm lens!
mediasorcerer: The cheapest i can find this camera for as a "pre-order" in australia is $1300 for BODY ONLY!!
Thats just disgracefully greedy, that will buy you an xe-1 with lens and uv filter or leather case, you have to be kidding olympus???
I'm sure it's good, but not that good, youd have to be barmy to buy this body only over the xe-1, how could it compete?[im asking, not describing], other than possibly being easier to fit in some pockets and having a few extra gimmicky features more?
I'm not doubting it's a superb camera.
Isn't it about image quality, first and foremost for price paid?
The PENs are quite pocketable with the pancake lenses, including the Panny G X Vario 14-42mm pancake zoom lens. This lens is often overlooked and forgotten, and whilst the IQ may not be stellar, it is no slouch either and perfectly acceptable. Small size & weight will always be a compromise on image quality in almost all photographic systems, the question is "to what extent?". And in this vein, it's a perfectly acceptable compromise.

Pettitte, Rivera pitch Yankees past Red Sox 4-2
NEW YORK Andy Pettitte pitched the Yankees to their first win of the season and Mariano Rivera made a successful return to the mound in New Yorks 4-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night.
Brett Gardner and Francisco Cervelli homered for the Yankees, providing some unexpected power to a depleted lineup missing the sore four Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson. All those All-Stars are on the disabled list, and without them New York dropped its first two games at home to the rival Red Sox.
Gardner and Cervelli each hit a solo shot, the first homer for both since they went back-to-back off Baltimores Tommy Hunter on Sept. 6, 2011. Neither player spent much time on the active big league roster last season.

DELRAY BEACH, FL – Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. Inc.'s Lexus luxury brand believes it can sell 1,000 all-new CT 200h hybrid-electric compact hatchbacks each month.
That's a lofty goal considering the competitors: the Volvo C30, Audi A3 and BMW 1-Series, which account for about 1,500-unit sales a month in the U.S.
Ward's data shows the three models delivered a combined 1,991 units in October, with the 1-Series accounting for 1,139 of the total.
Lexus is confident in the CT 200h's potential because it is the small-but-burgeoning segment's only hybrid and offers a sporty driving experience, as well, says Brian Bolain, Lexus national advertising and marketing manager, at a preview of the car here.
"I think we're covered on both sides of the equation; the hybrid side and the fun-to-drive side," he says of the CT's appeal to buyers seeking fuel economy as well as driving pleasure.
Bolain claims the CT's 5-door design will stand out in a way the styling of Lexus' other compact hybrid-electric vehicle, the HS 250h sedan, does not. He acknowledges the auto maker has stumbled with the HS. Sales of the HEV have languished since it launched last year.
Lexus targeted at least 20,000 units annually, but Ward's data shows HS 250h sales through October stood at only 8,754.
"Whether you love or hate the way the HS looks, it's just another 3-box sedan," Bolain says. "It has not differentiated itself visually for people. For someone who wants to make a statement, (the) HS doesn't quite get them where they need to be."
Much to Lexus' chagrin, the HS also is drawing an older demographic than expected. Bolain puts the HS buyer's age on par with that of the ES 350 sedan, which is popular with Baby Boomers.
Lexus expects younger, 30- or 40-something buyers with an annual household income of about $100,000 to opt for the CT 200h. Some 50%-60% are expected to be men, with three-quarters of those new to the brand, he says.
Research shows these Generation X and Y buyers already are the driving force behind the purchase of non-automotive luxury goods. They also express more confidence in the economy and many are planning to buy a new car within the next 12-24 months.
Their confidence is due to their growing income, Bolain says, noting the number of Gen X and Y Americans with household income of $100,000-plus is on the rise, unlike other generations.
When the '12 CT 200h goes on sale March 1, it will become the fifth Lexus hybrid offered in the U.S., following the RX 400h/450h cross/utility vehicles, the GS 460h and LS 600h upper-middle and large sedans and the HS 250h.
The CT 200h boasts Lexus' smallest gas engine yet in a hybrid, a 1.8L 4-cyl. Atkinson-cycle mill, mated to a 2026V nickel-metal-hydride battery. It is the same hybrid system as is in the Toyota Prius.
As with the Prius and Lexus RX 450h, the CT 200h employs a cooled exhaust gas-recirculation system, as well as an exhaust heat-recovery system to improve efficiency.
The CT 200h is estimated to achieve 43/40 mpg (5.5-5.9 L/100 km) city/highway in Normal driving mode. Lexus claims a segment-best combined fuel economy of 42 mpg (5.6 L/100 km), besting diesel-equipped competitors, Bolain says.
All four CT 200h driving modes, including Eco, EV and Sport, boast their own steering and throttle calibrations, among other differences.
In Eco mode, for instance, compressor settings are changed to lower the air-conditioning's fan speed, says Charles Hubbard, senior product education administrator for Lexus College.
Additionally, in all modes other than Sport, the inverter increases the battery's maximum voltage to 500V. In Sport, or at wide-open throttle in the other modes, the voltage is 650V "all the time," he says.
The driving mode is indicated on the display behind the CT's steering wheel. To differentiate Sport, for example, the background lighting changes to red from Normal's blue and a graphic showing a hybrid gauge becomes a tachometer.
To offset what Hubbard calls the CT 200h's highly rigid body, the car boasts performance dampers, a Lexus first, located between the strut towers and back-frame horns to absorb body motions and vibrations.
The CT 200h has standard light-emitting-diode daytime running lights. LED headlamps are available and when added to the daytime running lights give the CT a total 89 LEDs, the most of any Lexus, Hubbard says.
Other eco-friendly attributes of the CT 200h include floor-mat, deck-side and deck-board trim containing 40% plant-based materials. A faux leather, made of polyethylene and called NuLuxe, is used in the car's interior. It is made using no metal dyes and is 50% lighter than leather, Hubbard says, noting it also emits no volatile organic compounds.
Real leather also is available, but Bolain says 83% of buyers who have configured a CT 200h on Lexus' website have opted for NuLuxe.
The hybrid overall is 80% recyclable, with the lowest curb weight of any Lexus at 3,130 lbs. (1,420 kg) and a 0.29 drag coefficient.
Pricing for the Kyushu, Japan-built car should be announced in early December. Bolain says Lexus is trying to "push as low as we possibly can," potentially starting the CT 200h in the low $30,000s. However, the unfavorable yen-dollar exchange rate is "making it difficult."
At that price, the CT 200h still would be more expensive than the competition. For the '11 model year, the A3 begins at $27,270, BMW 128i coupe at $29,450 and Volvo C30 at $24,600. The starting price of the current least-expensive Lexus, the '11 IS 250 sedan, is $32,145.

Correctional Counseling and Rehabilitation, 8th Edition
Mathias, Jacqueline, American Jails
Correctional Counseling and Rehabilitation, 8th Edition Patricia Van Voorhis Emily J. Salisbury Waltham, Mass.: Anderson Publishing 456 pages, $54.95 http://store. elsevier. com
Correctional Counseling and Rehabilitation, 8th Edition is an excellent resource not only for counselors, but for anyone who works in a correctional setting. The authors provide informative and clear descriptions of the various types of offenders with whom correctional staff may encounter in their facilities. They also discuss the types of programming and structures that have proven to be most effective-and in some cases, most ineffective-in managing and treating offenders.
In my 10 years experience in the mental health field, I have been often asked by correctional officers and staff about the inmates who present with symptoms of mental illness, substance abuse, or traits of a personality disorder, and why or why not they are exhibiting certain behaviors. Many correctional officers and staff have no experience, training, or education involving these populations prior to their work in a correctional setting. This book provides answers and treatment options in a manner that is both relevant and understandable.
Beginning with a description of behaviors exhibited by inmates and the challenges of working in a correctional setting, Correctional Counseling and Rehabilitation is laid out in six parts. Other parts cover the historical foundations of different therapies and how they came to be developed into current therapies, the various offender classification systems, therapies with specific sub-groups in correctional settings, and implementing the policies and programs in a correctional facility.
Specific to the correctional environment, the various types of mental illness, personality disorders, and treatment modals are defined in a manner so that even someone with no background or formal education in behavioral health fields can feel comfortable. Charts that link behaviors and symptoms with the appropriate categories make it easy for readers to follow and apply to real world job experience. This is also accomplished through the case study examples, which provide officers with the basic symptoms most commonly found in individuals who suffer from mental illness. Tips are also given on how to monitor and report those symptoms for follow-up and further evaluation. The descriptions of the subgroups (mental illness, substance abuse, women, sex offenders, and anti-social personality disorders) that often require specialized treatment and behavior plans also help officers to better understand and manage the needs of these inmates. …

I read where some legislator in Oregon has introduced a bill into the Oregon State law-making machinery that would make cigarettes the same as a drug and that a prescription from a physician would be required to get them.
The bill is reported to be calling for some pretty hefty fines for illegal possession and even up to a year in the pen if what I am reading is true.
Well, I have heard some stuff in my life but this one comes pretty close to taking the cake in my opinion.
Imagine some inmate in a prison somewhere telling someone he or she is in for "smoking!"
"O'er the land of the free . . . .and the home of the . . .brave…"
I smoked for more than 60 years and when all the "pure-hearts" and what I considered to be the "do gooders" who I thought wanted nothing less than to tell everyone else how to live their lives started agitating to make smoking illegal in as many places as they could, I rebelled against the non-smokers because I thought, "Hell, this is America and people have been smoking since the time of the Founding and now some bunch of health nuts wants to steal yet another freedom from the Land of The Free?
At this point in my life, I have kind of let off the irritation against the invasiveness of one group wanting to make everyone else bend to their will about the smoking issue because, with the help of the "patch," a VA nurse who was patient as an angel and 8 weeks of agonized hell, I finally quit smoking three years ago.
But I still feel like I have to support the right to smoke for those who choose to do so and who are of legal age and I do not think it is right that a bunch of in-your-face arrogant do-goodies who want to dominate everything – – who want all the freedoms for themselves and don't seem to want anyone else to have any can get away with passing laws to force their wills onto the majority.
But then again, I guess it must be a majority who votes these things in because nothing can win in an election in America without a majority vote, right? Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Nevertheless, I can see a righteous motivation even in the midst of what I consider to be a power grab – – – after all, smoking is not healthful at all according to most experts and according to some other "experts" can be seriously damaging.
I guess I am kind of in the middle on that question even though I chose to quit and I feel a lot better about having done so – – – even though I did gain 25 extra pounds that I can't seem to get rid of – – but maybe I have done myself some good. Time will tell.
As I look back on my own decision to quit, it now looks more and more to me like I made the choice between dying of a possible smoking-related disease or from getting too damned fat and filling up with cholesterol and plopping over in a stroke or a heart attack or something.
It's kind of like trying to use both sides of toilet tissue in a manner of speaking as far as I am concerned.
So my first question about making tobacco into a "Prescription" drug is this:
"What kind of physician would prescribe cigarettes or other tobacco products to patients knowing all the hell that has been raised about how dangerous the substance can be?
That is question number one in my mind.
The second question is, "If they make tobacco into a controlled substance ( a drug) would that open up a whole new field of opportunity for criminal types to get a larger market share of the illicit drug business? Say what? Duhhh!
It is almost a sure bet that cigarettes would never be prescribed for lung ailments (in my opinion only and I am no qualified health professional) – so can someone tell me exactly which of our multitude of physical ailments these things might be prescribed for?
Now if some state were to actually get tobacco classified as a controlled substance ( a prescription-only drug) would it pass muster with The American Food and Drug Administration and local health authorities to the point where the prescriptions could actually be written?
Couldn't the radical right who is always and forever bitching and screaming about less government interference into individual lives have a case against such restrictions as these and would the right wing be split over the issue – – those who smoke opposing the passage of such a law and those who don't smoke being in favor because it is "What Gee-Zuss" would do or something like that?
The next question becomes for me, "What happens when some bright law-maker takes a look at the loss in tax revenues that such a law would cause? Would the lure of the almighty dollar be enough to make sure such a law never got out of committee?" Duhhhhh!
I'm pretty much a person who supports most of the things my government does, but I do fear sometimes that maybe the government can get a little "over-reachy" as they seem to be putting the "criminal" tag on more and more things these days.
Well I have no idea where this kind of thinking can go to and I certainly don't know where it comes from, but it sounds a little far right wing to me because I think if it were up to Liberals, democrats and progressives, they would probably decide that smoking is not all that good for folks, but I doubt if they would start messing around with individual freedoms concerning the issue by trying to pass what I consider to be "one size fits all" laws about it.
I got a great idea – – – let's make smoking anything at all illegal and let's institute a fresh air tax so that everyone who breathes is made to pay their fare share. Imagine the boost to the national economy that would make possible.
Let's get a law passed that says the only time smoking is legal is when someone is on fire.
Right? (Snark!)
While we are at it, how about a fat tax on food items and let's start the investigation to see whether or not sugar can be classed as a drug too. (sugar is said to be addictive and has its own health effects according to some who are supposed to know that they are talking about.)

The Beatles
The Beatles were something like we had never seen before. They were cute and exciting. Is anyone else here old enough to remember their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show?
English: The Beatles wave to fans after arriving at Kennedy Airport. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
I awoke to a bright, beautiful day this morning. it makes me feel cheerful just to look outside and see the lovely blue sky. If there is anything more beautiful than a bright shiny day, I don't know what it is. I turned on the radio while making breakfast and the Beatles were on. They were the most listened to band in the entire world when they first came on the scene.
This morning, they were playing and singing "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" I didn't know they were referring to LSD at the time. I just loved the song. Ringo was my favorite of the crew. He was so cute sitting there with his mop of hair beating those drums. Do you remember all the talk about their long hair. When I look at pictures of them back in the day, I see their hair was actually quiet short.
It goes to show the older generation can always find fault with youth. Not intentionally of course. It's just that each generation grows in different ways. Anyway, listening to the Beatles brought back old memories. I'm sure all of us who were at that age when they came on the scene have our memories of the Beatles. They were new and exciting. We had seen nothing like them before. And really, nothing like them since.

The loan that they will take out will benefit these little microentrepreneurs, of which Señora Jeanett is one. She indicates that she joined Pro Mujer two years ago, entering at the invitation of her brother, who is a member of the institution. Now she has a business of selling fragrances. She lets it be known that she learned this business a number of years ago from her parents, since this was a family business. Later, with a little capital, she decided to set up an independent business.
The loan that she will take out now is to increase her capital to buy fragrances, which she will acquire from the factories in the city of El Alto, and later she will sell them in her sales space. This form of work allows her to generate resources to continue her studies.
When she is asked what she likes about Pro Mujer, she responds that she likes the areas of credit, health, and training that the institution offers.
Two women cannot be identified in the photo because they were behind other members of the group.

Pavilion charger jack overheat[ Edited ]
05-08-2014 01:13 PM - edited 05-08-2014 05:03 PM
I have an HP Pavilion dv9700 notebook that has a strange problem. I got the laptop from a friend recently so I have no knowledge of when the problem started. When I plug the charger jack into the laptop, I have to wiggle it to make sure that it's getting the laptop enough current. I wiggle the plug until the blue ring around the jack lights up fully. It's very hard to get it in the right position, but when I do, the computer starts. Cut a long story short, using the computer for 10 minutes casually (browsing the web or writing a document) makes the plug borderline hot. Using the computer for 10 minutes heavily (writing CDs, playing graphics intensive games, watching movies) makes the plug so hot that I burned my hand on it. After further investigation, I noticed that the charger plug itself was ever so mildly bent, and that the jack in the laptop itself had a loose middle pin. I know that this has something to do with a large amount of current resistaince due to internal damage to either part. So where's the problem: in the jack, or in the charger plug?

A Hong Kong man (Ai Fei) gets involved with a woman in Bangkok (Lily Chan) during a brief excursion to that city and falsely promises to come back to be with her again -- a bad move on his part because when he does not show up, she gets a Thai shaman to hex him but good. The Hong Kong man slowly starts to show the effects of this uniquely Asian voodoo, even to the extent of murdering his own daughter. Enter the dashing detective/policeman (Mel Wong), and hope begins to grow that the evil force and the mayhem it has caused will soon meet their match. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Construction work has started on upgrades at the Liberty Bowl with work expected to be completed by the University of Memphis' 2009 football home opener.
The work includes the installation of new locker rooms and improving gate access to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act at the 43-year-old stadium.
In November, some four years after a facility assessment said the Liberty Bowl was nearing obsolescence, the Memphis City Council appropriated general obligation bonds totaling $1,861,300 for construction of new locker rooms and $125,000 for furniture, fixtures and equipment.

Feb 10, 2013 EbenGregory News 16
Reports Vlad:
AP.9 is continuing to stir the pot in his alleged tryst with Coco, as the rapper is reportedly shopping an adult tape around of the two getting busy in Las Vegas. In a recent interview with Star magazine AP.9 spilled the beans about the affair, and now has released another steamy picture of their time together.
Star magazine is now claiming they have photos of Coco in various state of undress, which could really solidify what really went on between the two.
Stay tuned for more developments on this story.
And now…the new AP.9 pic of hime with a fist full of CoCo's money maker.
This is EbenGregory.com…telling you Ice-T is somewhere like this.
Ice-t created that monster so what did he think would happen? He is old anyway and she is too young for him.
Anyone who was a protege of C-Bo would love ass that much LOL!!!!! IJS
Can't y'all see this is a pimp move..Ice-T is pimpin' this..at the end of the day all 3 are getting the exposure/paid from this and Ice is sitting back LLAMF!
ummmmmm that doesnt look like Coco! Dude is a clown anyway! Great PR for him tho!
Lol! Do you need glasses??
It's her…duh!
Sit down? pssst somebody need to off dis nigga den he need to cancel coco. She just another bitch wit booty shots without him. Cant really fault ice he always had one bad as bottom bitch and he gettin old.
First for you all that don't know dude was with Mob Figgaz they all where prodigious of C-Bo one on the for real gangster rappers from the the 90's. How do you think AP9 is still able to buy and drive them kind of cars, not from rap AP got hoes on the track out there in LV him and J Diggs. Ice T is behaving like a fake pimp 1 for even ever marring this hoe ( dont get me wrong I would give her the business for sure but not marry her)
2 if he was really player and dude came to him and said he had the tape help him get it sold then they can split the profit.
Dude is doing it wrong …… should have kept it on the low ……. Fed that cow the milk and got the Ice cream …….science!
SMH, this dude here…. #LAME
My take is. Ice T and Coco probably both do them but AP9 is making it public to get his name and rep up. Ice T is probably telling Coco "Why you had to go and mess with that cat"? Ice T is ol school and not known for being a clown ass dude. Coco needs to choose wisely next time.
this dude ap got one tape,ice t must have thousands of vids,if the shit hits the fan make sure its piles of shit,tats my jewelry to ice
I think Ice already knew what she has been up to, he's got to know. He's probly more mad the dude put it all on blast for the world, blowing Ice T's pimping-my-wife-too cover, these two dont got true love going, just cus they're married, marriage is so devalued these days, mocking the sanctity of what true love and being married really is meant and supposed to be. Ap9 probly just pissed he hasnt gotten his hush money yet.. crazy. But its not a shocker. AT ALL.
I mean honestly, who REALLY cares…HOES GET KNOCKED EVERY DAY..Ice knows this.. Ice an AP need to have a sit down like some real playas and figure out how they BOTH can earn off her if she out trickin like that..turn that false hoe to a boss hoe…from a tramp to a champ *IN MY PIMPIN KEN VOICE* LOL
pimp down Katt Williams voice
Ice-T is not going to like that.

A Salinas man was arrested following an assault and barricade situation on Thursday morning, according to the Salinas Police Department.
Pablo Silva, 61, allegedly assaulted his 77-year-old girlfriend at 9:29 a.m. in the 1600 block of Newport Court, police said.
She fled to a neighbor and gave arriving officers a key to her home.
They found Silva barricaded in a bathroom, water flowing from under the door, and he was yelling profanities and destroying the bathroom.
After several hours of negotiations with the assistance of Monterey County Behavioral Health, the situation digressed and the Salinas PD SWAT Team was called in.
Eventually Silva was taken into custody after resisting officers attempts to peacefully take him into custody.
Silva was not injured.


text: Jagworth - Unregistered October 14, 2012 2:40 AM In a way I feel sorry for Vettel, he IS 2 x WDC, he IS fast in a car that obviously is well suited to him, and in various interviews etc. he IS interesting and mature as a person. But when things don't go the way he wants all of his good qualities are overshadowed by a childish petulant character that takes over ... it is not unique to him - some sports champions grow out of these almost sub conscious behavioral patterns some don't. In his case it is made even more difficult due to him having a team mate who IS NOT as consistently fast, who IS just as determined, and will probably NOT become WDC. But who IS outwardly able to keep on trucking and handle the personal disappointment so much better, that's why so many of us admire Webber. 3 agree 0 disagree

She answers the phone late nights.. She talks to you on your level... She works hard and she gets the job done. Renee is truly a friend and attorney. She's represented many I know and she's working hard to beat the charges everytime. Never had an unfavorable deal when dealing with Renee.

Mrs. Rockwell has been my attorney for 18 years...trustworthy, knowledgable, & very insightful...she has a very good reputation in the Fulton County Judicial system...in January 2010, I was serving the remainder of my 2 years on probation & I was arrested for another felony.Mrs. Rockwell got my charges dismissed
Posted by Russell
After possibly facing 125 years in prison for bogus drug charges and no no knock warrant served on me the day before the Catherine Johnston killing by the former red dawgs Renee saved my life and I got 18 months probation. Then, absurd charges by my mother for defamation of character landed me back in court where again Renee rescued me and charges were dismissed. Renee has angel wings on her shoulders I am convinced, you just can't see them with the human eye. Renee is my attorney, my hero, my friend, and my family. I could write on forever saying great things and it wouldn't even come close to how I feel about this amazing human being.
Posted by K.T.
Renee always went above and beyond to do what was best for me! She is extremely knowledgeable about the law and is known/liked by everyone in the courthouse. Renee is a true advocate for her clients not just in it for the money! I received several quotes from other laywers, each was $10,000 just to start my case --- then came Renee an angel with a total price of $2600 and she got my 6 felony charges down to one disorderly conduct charge -- AMAZING!

She was a great attorney. She worked with me and what little money I had and represented me well. I never saw a jail. She treated me like I was her own family. I would recommend her in a heart beat.

Dreams of a Bygone Era? Re-Envisioning Civil Rights in the Modern Age
Lee, Kristine, Harvard International Review
In August of 1963, the United States was swept up in unprecedented mass mobilization. Two hundred thousand Americans--black, white, rich, and poor from across the nation--poured into the National Mall in Washington, D.C. armed with picket signs, freedom songs, and a fervent dedication to the light for equality before the law. The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, the venue at which Martin Luther King Jr. uttered his lamed "I have a dream" incantation, was a watershed moment in the long and tumultuous civil rights struggle in the United States.
It set' forth new genre of civil rights activism and became a template for subsequent generations of political protest around the globe. Indeed, over the course of the ensuing decade, university students in France aligned themselves with trade union workers to subvert the Gaullist regime, the military dictatorship in Brazil struggled to withstand the escalating guerilla warfare leveled against it, and opposition to the Vietnam War simmered across the United States, London, Paris, Berlin, and Rome.
Today, five decades after the heyday of the Civil Rights Movement, the international community's gaze remains fixed on Cairo and the tumultuous rise and fall of the pro-Morsi protest camps erected in Tahrir Square this summer. As the world comes to grips with the recurring stumbling blocks to stable, responsible governance in transitional democracies in the Middle East, it is an apt time to take stock of what civil rights means to Americans and in the modern world.
The Long March
Civil unrest around the world and civil rights activism in the United States in particular, is all but moribund. Americans still take to the streets, driven by the compulsion to close the gap between the rhetoric of freedom emanating from the nation's founding documents and the social reality that surrounds us.
In July of this past summer, several hundred protestors amassed outside of the federal courthouse in Washington demanding justice for the murdered Trayvon Martin in the days immediately following George Zimmerman's acquittal. As pockets of protestors across the nation rallied and chanted, there were glimmers of the old solidarity that their predecessors touted during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.
Since the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the seminal anti-discrimination legislation in the 20th century United States, the tenor of civil rights activism has, inevitably, changed. Fifty years ago, Martin Luther King Jr. was celebrated as the indefatigable political and spiritual leader of the Civil Rights Movement. Today, in our historical moment, the defenseless Trayvon Martin has become the new face of civil rights justice. Dr. King was a symbol of renewed agency for marginalized communities, while Trayvon Martin is a harrowing reminder of the ongoing victimization of these communities in the United States today.
The national understanding of what "civil rights" means has evolved in step with social reality, thus altering the tenor of political discourse. The modern day civil rights struggle, though rooted deeply in the vocabulary of race relations, is not exclusively defined by it, as racism is no longer a pervasive social ill. It has balkanized into more disparate issue areas, ranging from the reformation of the criminal justice system to the ongoing pursuit of gender equity in the workplace, after the passage of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. Moreover, civil rights activism is no longer undergirded by sweeping institutional networks, as evidenced by the decline of civic groups such as the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and the Congress of Racial Equality.
The events of this past summer have converged to underscore die inevitability of change in the ways in which people engage with their governments. Old conceptions of civil rights are continuing to change in our increasingly individualistic, yet internationalized and interconnected world. …


text: By LYDIA GEHRING Staff Writer WOOSTER Wooster City Council President Judi Mitten was named Leadership Wooster's 2004 Distinguished Alumni on Friday. Mitten, who completed Leadership Wooster in 1998, was selected by a panel of community leaders. "Participating in the All-American City Wooster delegation to Kansas City in 1997 helped me realize that to effectively continue on Wooster City Council, I would need to expand my network of community contacts," Mitten said. "Participation in the Leadership Wooster class of 1998 was a tremendous experience for me and definitely improved my effectiveness in many ways." Mitten, Goodwill Industries of Wayne and Holmes Counties' Judy Delaney and Wooster Printing's Heather Kuntz were this year's nominees. Mitten was nominated by fellow Councilman Jeff Griffin, Bruce Phipps recommended Delaney and Kuntz was nominated by Martha Imhoff. "I'm so thankful that Judi Mitten got it," Kuntz said. "Being on City Council is just thankless. ... I am extremely honored to be nominated it was just a wonderful group of leaders to be nominated with. I can't even believe that someone thought enough of me to nominate me. Wooster and Wayne County is a great place to be ... as I grow with the business, I really hope to become more involved with the community. The only way to grow is to be involved." Delaney said she was honored to be nominated, but said she is just doing what is needed to help the community grow and prosper. "I was so honored to be nominated with the caliber of the nominees," she said. "But I just believe that I'm doing what needs to be done in this community." "Judi brings energy, passion and knowledge to everything she does," Griffin said. "I'm honored to call her a friend and I'm privileged to work with her on council." The meeting's honored speaker, Harley Gerber of Gerber Feed Service in Dalton, talked of how leadership sometimes reminds him of softball games, something he was involved in for 40 years. "I played 40 years of fastpitch softball and never hit a home run," Gerber said. "I batted 10,000 times and never hit one. I batted over .300 bunting. I realized that if I wanted to make something out of life I had to do it myself. Part of leadership is that you can't always hit a homerun." Gerber said the definition of leadership is the ability to lead others along the way. "You've got to have the passion a leader has to have a positive attitude," Gerber said. "You must look at growth. A leader has to see problems as challenges and strive for excellence. A good deal has to be good for everybody involved. Remember your friends, no matter what activities you are involved in." And, Gerber said, he's learned how to compromise with the help of his over four-decade long marriage. "You must compromise," he said. "Forty-two years of marriage to the same lady teaches you that."

Awesome: Jeopardy!
Alex Trebek: This kind of event is so momentous and awe-inspiring, the wiki website TV Tropes devotes an entire section to them.
Trope-tan: What is a Crowning Moment of Awesome?
Alex: (looks off-camera) ...Crowning Moment of Awesome or just Moment of Awesome, yes. Go again.
Trope-tan: What is a Crowning Moment of Awesome?
Alex: (looks off-camera) ...Crowning Moment of Awesome or just Moment of Awesome, yes. Go again.
General Examples:
- In general, any time a contestant sweeps an entire category, especially if it includes a Daily Double, which is usually followed by applause.
- Prior to Season 20, any contestant who retired as an undefeated five-time champion.
- From Season 14-19, all undefeated champions also won a car.
- In general, any of these cases where a contestant bets a true Daily Double near the end of Double Jeopardy! (which takes balls) and provides a correct response:
- A trailing contestant with less than half the 1st place score successfully narrows the gap between 1st and 2nd place, preventing a "lock" game.
- A trailing contestant will a little more than half the 1st place score steals the lead.
- A leading contestant increases their lead and wins with a "lock" game because of their true Daily Double.
- Any time a player wins after trailing into Final Jeopardy.
- Any time a player wins a tournament after making it into the semifinals as a wildcard.
Specific Examples:
- September 30 - October 4, 1985: Chuck Forrest, widely considered the first truly great Jeopardy! player. No less than Ken Jennings has remarked that, while he was a fan of the Trebek Jeopardy! since day one, Chuck Forrest's run is his first really clear memory of the show. This was because Chuck was a Season 2 undefeated champion who:
- Won all of his non-tournament games in lock or lock-tie fashion in other words, going into Final Jeopardy!, he couldn't lose unless he got Final Jeopardy! wrong and made a completely logic-defying wager (or, as they say, pulling a Clavin).
- Set what was then the show's 5-day winnings record...at the end of his fourth game,
- And was so dominant in his Tournament of Champions, specifically the finals, that he single-handedly forced the producers to institute a minimum winnings guarantee for ToC finalists. To elaborate, the winner of the ToC that season won $100,000; the other two finalists' winnings were "what you won during the two finals games"; and losing in the semifinals that year got you $5000. Chuck's opponents' totals for the two finals games were $4000 and $3000, or less than they would have gotten had they lost in the semifinals. They appealed and were given $5000, which led to subsequent ToCs having a minimum guarantee for the two runners-up.
- To this day, Chuck Forrest is still the only Jeopardy! champion from the first two seasons to win even one game in one of the show's later best-of tournaments (everyone else from seasons 1& 2 lost their first game in a later tournament.)
- November 1985: Jerry Frankel, who won $32,650 in his original five-day run, winning the first ever Tournament of Champions. He was also the only player to write down the correct response in his deciding game.The Final Jeopardy! clue and correct response. . After Alex announced that he had won, he pointed out that Frankel had the lowest score among wild-card qualifiers, adding to the feat.
- June 18 - 24, 1987: Bob Verini, then a playwright and actor from New York City. Best known for his impersonations, particularly Julia Child, but was also a superb player. He cashed in with $46,802 in his original five appearances and won the Tournament of Champions that fall. He also finished second in Super Jeopardy! and placed third in the Million Dollar Masters tournament.
- November 20, 1987: Bob's victory in the '87 Tournament of Champions in a Moment of Awesome in itself for three reasons. One—Going into the second game, he was in third place. Two—He came up with the correct response in Final Jeopardy! after changing it midway. Here's the Final Jeopardy! clue and Bob's response. Third—He wagered just enough to win the tournament by a single dollar!
- September 12, 1989: Bob Blake breaks Chuck Forrest's 5-day record by winning $82,501 as a 5-time champion, also making him the first player to win more than $75,000 in regular games. Because of the then-$75,000 winnings cap, Blake donates $7,501 of his winnings to Oxfam, making that a heartwarming moment as well. He would go on to win the 1990 Tournament of Champions, the only Canadian citizen to do so to date, and would remain the show's biggest cash winner (not counting Super Jeopardy!) until 2001. Even with doubled cash values and no winning limits, he remained Canada's winningest player in regular games until 2015, and he's still the only Canadian contestant in Jeopardy! history to earn over $200,000 in regular and tournament games.
- November 17, 1989: After winning the very first College Championship tournament that spring, Tom Cubbage also wins the 1989 Tournament of Champions. He is STILL the only player to win both, and one of only three College Champions to even make the finals.
- January 9 - 15, 1990: Frank Spangenberg, then a member of the New York Transit Police Department (now the Transit Bureau of the New York City Police Department), set a record of $102,597 during his five days on the show, a record that lasted for 13 yearsnote . In addition to that, he set the then-one day record of $30,600 on his fifth and final day.
- At the time, there was a $75,000 winnings cap, so Frank had to donate $27,597 of his winnings to Gift of Love Hospice, a facility operated by the Missionaries of Charity. In a moment that also doubles as a Heartwarming Moment, his money was used to bring the place up to fire code.
- Frank later went on to win the Tenth Anniversary Tournament in 1993, and made appearances in all of Jeopardy!'s other "all time" tournaments (the only person to do so), including a run to the semifinals of 2005's Ultimate Tournament of Champions, but he was eliminated in the opening round of Super Jeopardy!, the Million Dollar Masters tournament, and the Battle of the Decades.
- June 23, 1990: Eugene Finerman becomes the first player to defeat Frank Spangenberg during his Super Jeopardy quarterfinal game.
- August 11, 1990: Dave Traini becomes the first player to defeat Chuck Forrest during his Super Jeopardy quarterfinal game. Appropriately, during his semifinal game, he defeats eventual 1990 Tournament of Champions winner Bob Blake, who had broken Forrest's 5-day record.
- September 8th, 1990: Bruce Seymour, a four day champion from January 1988 that was eliminated in that year's Tournament of Champions quarterfinals, completed a major underdog run in ABC's Super Jeopardy! by defeating 1987 Tournament of Champions winner Bob Verini and finalist Dave Traini in the one day final to claim the $250,000 top prize, largely thanks to two correct Daily Doubles in Double Jeopardy! He's never returned for any later Jeopardy! tournaments, but what a way to go out.
- May 18 - 22, 1992: Jerome Vered wins $96,801 as a 5-time champion (second all-time under the original dollar amounts to Frank Spangenberg's record), though he shattered Frank's one-day record by winning $34,000 in his 4th game (May 21, 1992). The record stood until the show's dollar amounts were doubled, and while Vered's score held up when adjusted for inflation, Ken Jennings broke the record anyway with a $75,000 game in 2004. Vered would go on to finish third in both the 1992 Tournament of Champions and the 2005 Ultimate Tournament of Champions.
- November 19, 1992: The first of the two Final games in the Tournament of Champions was a rapid-fire affair, with finalists Jerome Vered, Leszek Pawlowicz and Bruce Simmons having accumulated $25,400 as a group going into Final Jeopardy. Unfortunately, FJ was very difficult, with all three players losing substantial amounts of money.
- December 3rd, 1993: Frank Spangenberg finally winning a Jeopardy! tournament, claiming the $25,000 top prize in the show's 10th Anniversary Tournament by overcoming a $13,000 deficit (pre-inflation, no less) against reigning TOC winner Tom Nosek after game 1 to win the event, thanks to betting everything on Final Jeopardy! in game 2, and Tom and fellow finalist Leslie Frates both missing the question.
- Not to mention, his correct response of "Who is Wendy Wasserstein?" in game 2 of the finals (for the clue: "1 of 3 women who won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in the 1980s") earned him a dinner invite from Wasserstein, as she "wanted to meet the man that remembered her name."
- November 25, 1994: Rachael Schwartz becomes the first woman and 4-time champion to win the Tournament of Champions, winning by $1 over Jeff Stewart, the 1994 College Championship winner.
- October 20 - 26, 1999: Eddie Timanus, the first blind contestant to compete on the show; he was expertly accommodated by the show he had a Braille keyboard at his podium to type Final Jeopardy! responses, and was given a Braille card containing the categories by Alex before each round (this was shown on-camera, although it was up to Eddie to recall what clues were remaining on the board). As well, a mild audio tone was used so he knew when to ring in, as he couldn't see the blinking lights used for that purpose. Merely competing on the show with such a...well, some would consider it a handicap or disadvantage...would have been awesome on its own, but Eddie was a great sport about the whole matter and was very smart he became an undefeated champion!
- February 16th, 2001: Then-reigning Tournament of Champions winner Robin Carroll won Jeopardy!'s third and final International Tournament in dominant fashion, winning $50,000 and overtaking Bob Blake as the winningest contestant ever on the regular syndicated Jeopardy! with $214,100, a record she'd hold until the next year's Million Dollar Masters tournament. She was also the show's winningest female player until Celeste DiNucci won 2007's Tournament of Champions.
- May 14th, 2002: Reigning Tournament of Champions winner Brad Rutter defeated early Jeopardy! greats Bob Verini and Eric Newhouse in the two day final of Jeopardy!'s Million Dollar Masters tournament, becoming the show's third "all time" tournament winner, and the biggest cash winner in game show history, which he still holds today thanks to two more major Jeopardy! tournament wins (albeit after trading the record with Ken Jennings a couple of times)
- June 2 - November 30, 2004: Ken Jennings' miracle run. He won seventy-four straight games and won over two million dollars. Four facts to put this in perspective:
- Before he started his run, the record-holder had been on for eight straight days and had only won about $200,000. In fairness, though, up until 2003 (about a year before Jennings's appearance), 5-time champions were retired from the show undefeated, so this by itself doesn't tell the whole story.
- More amazingly, in nine years of post-Jennings play, only four other people (David Madden with 19 wins in 2005, Arthur Chu (11) and Julia Collins (20) in 2014, and Matt Jackson in 2015) have even made it into double-digit non-Tournament victories, and until Julia Collins in mid-2014, none had gotten to 20 straight.
- A typical winning score on a non-tournament episode of Jeopardy! is around $15,000 (give or take a couple thousand - below $10,000 or above $20,000 are both fairly uncommon). Ken Jennings averaged just over $34,000 per non-tournament game. He also tied the then-one day record of $52,000 three times before finally making a big enough wager to exceed it by $23,000 in the season 20 finale.
- 65 of Ken's 75 games were won in lock fashion — in other words, over 85 percent of his games had him dominating his opponents so thoroughly that he was guaranteed to win no matter what he or his opponents answered/wagered during Final Jeopardy! unless he pulled a Clavin. Additionally, before his 75th game, he had only one game (his 5th) in which he would have lost in Final Jeopardy! if his closest opponent had gotten their answer right.
- Ken's 18th game is also notable. He had $28,200 at the end of Double Jeopardy!, but his opponent was not that far behind with $24,400 thanks to a true Daily Double. Both got the correct Final Jeopardy! response, and Ken's opponent finished with a very high second place total of $44,400. If only there was an exception to the 1984 rule patch...
- February - May, 2005: Jeopardy!'s Ultimate Tournament of Champions, which united 144 Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions competitors and/or Teen Tournament winners back to the show for a massive single elimination tournament, with the last two contestants remaining taking on Ken Jennings in a three day final. Every living Tournament of Champions and College Championship winner was in the field, plus all but 3 Teen Tournament winners to that point, and numerous other 5+ day champions dating back to season 1, so competition was very tight.
- The event saw numerous upsets too, with only 6 of the 19 prior Tournament of Champions winners in the field winning even a single game, and none of them came from Jeopardy!'s first 11 seasons. 1994 TOC semifinalist John Cuthbertson was among the surprises of the tournament, defeating TOC winners Bob Verini & Bob Blake and 2001 finalist Tad Carithers along the way to the Ultimate TOC semifinals, where he became one of just two men to ever lead Brad Rutter after a Jeopardy! game (though Brad largely dominated game 2 to advance to the finals.)
- Brad Rutter owning Ken Jennings and fellow finalist Jerome Vered in the Ultimate Tournament of Champions finals from May 23rd-25th, getting almost twice as much money as Ken, reclaiming his titles as both Jeopardy's biggest winner and the largest game show winner in history with over $3 Million.
- May 19th, 2006: Michael Falk winning the first post-Jennings Tournament of Champions in unlikely fashion, advancing as a wild card after losing to 19 day champion David Madden in the quarterfinals, only to win his semifinal game and rally from a $13,400 deficit behind Vik Vaz after game 1 of the finals to win the tournament. Falk remains the only 3 day champion to ever win a TOC, partially helped by the fact that the nine highest earning contestants in the field were all eliminated in the first two rounds in an upset-riddled tournament, leading to a final round with no 5+ day champions.
- July 20 - 27, 2006: Fourteen years after her brother Dennis lost to Jerome Vered, Celeste DiNucci won five games and amassed $84,601 in winnings. She later won the Tournament of Champions in November 2007.
- March 16, 2007: With his two opponents tied at $8,000 and within reach, Scott Weiss figured they would risk it all. So he bet for a tie instead of the win, which led to the show's first and only nonzero three-way tie and a very interesting intro by Johnny Gilbert on the next episode.
- And as Alex explained in that next episode, Scott did that because he overheard a boy asking Alex before Final Jeopardy! if a three way tie had ever happened. Alex told him no, so Scott set up the wager hoping it'd force the tie. Everybody wins!
- September 13 - 16, 2010: Season 27 began with a runaway win by Roger Craig, who also posted a total runaway in the next game setting a new one-day record of $77,000 (beating a record set, incidentally, by Ken Jennings) in the process.
- Roger's third and fourth games were quite impressive, too. On the third, he took a $10,000 tumble on a Daily Double and finished Double Jeopardy! only $1,600 ahead of second place. Luckily, he was the only one to get Final Jeopardy! right. The fourth day, another contestant held a significant lead over him in the first half, but Roger quickly jumped back into the lead during Double Jeopardy!, including a True Daily Double.
- The IBM Challenge. All of it. Watson wins both games by a landslide... not too shabby for a computer!
- That may be so, but Watson GUESSED on a Daily Double with 32% confidence and got it RIGHT. Not only that, but Watson actually made the wager on that day's Final Jeopardy himself! (He got it wrong, but wagered only $947!)
- Ken Jennings' Final Jeopardy card: "I for one welcome our new computer overlords".
- November 14, 2011: In the final match of the Tournament of Champions, Roger Craig hunts down two Daily Doubles, one after the other. He bets all of his money on both of them, and gets the answers right; effectively quadrupling his score.
- December 16, 2011: Jason Keller had been auditioning for the game for 16 years; he remained champion on Jeopardy! for nine days, winning $213,900.
- February 12, 2013: Leonard Cooper wins the Teen Tournament despite being a wild card non-winner in the quarterfinals helped in no small part by a ballsy $18,000 (yes, eighteen thousand) wager late in Double Jeopardy! on the final game of the tournament.
- February 26, 2013: Teachers Tournament winner Colby Burnett wins the Tournament of Champions, becoming the first to do so. He's also the first non-regular Tournament of Champions winner since 1989, and is still the only Teachers Tournament winner to even advance out of the quarterfinals in the TOC.
- July 31, 2013: During a Kids' Week game, Skyler Homback, a 12-year-old from Kentucky, amasses an impressive $36,600 heading into Final Jeopardy!, while his opponents have scores of $9,600 and $6,400. The Final Jeopardy! category is "The Civil War", Skyler, who is deeply interested in this topic, wagers a hearty $30,000 note . Skyler gives a correct response, finishing with a grand total of $66,600 — the fourth-highest single-day score in the show's history, standing only behind Roger Craig (with $77,000) Ken Jennings (with $75,000), and Andy Richter (with $68,000 in a Celebrity Invitational Tournament game.)
- 2014: The entire "Battle of the Decades" tournament, where contestants from the 1980s onward competed against each other. Luminaries such as Chuck Forrest, Eddie Timanus, and Ken Jennings were among the competitors. The three finalists on the last two episodes of the tournament? Ken Jennings, Brad Rutter, and Roger Craig.
- And the ultimate winner? Brad Rutter, keeping his record of never being defeated by a human opponent intact, beating Ken Jennings for the second time, and passing Jennings to retake the lead for all-time game show winnings thanks to an unprecedented four Jeopardy! tournament wins. Not only that, but he was actually in last place for a majority of both final matches before mounting a comeback both times midway through Double Jeopardy!
- In a subversion, Rutter was reduced to being a spectator in Final Jeopardy in the 2nd game. Rutter brought a $3000 lead over Jennings from game 1, while Jennings had an $1800 lead over Rutter going into Final Jeopardy in game 2. Craig couldn't catch either of them, so the outcome of the Tournament rested entirely on whether or not Ken Jennings would answer the Final Jeopardy clue correctly. If he did, Brad Rutter's lead from the first game couldn't hold up, even if Brad doubled up in Final Jeopardy, and if he missed, Brad would win regardless of what he did. In recognition of this fact, Brad Rutter's wager during Final Jeopardy was $0.
- And the ultimate winner? Brad Rutter, keeping his record of never being defeated by a human opponent intact, beating Ken Jennings for the second time, and passing Jennings to retake the lead for all-time game show winnings thanks to an unprecedented four Jeopardy! tournament wins. Not only that, but he was actually in last place for a majority of both final matches before mounting a comeback both times midway through Double Jeopardy!
- April - June 2014: Julia Collins' hot streak of 20 games. By her 11th game, she became the longest-running female champion in the show's history, and just kept rolling. Most of her games have been "locks" as well, but game 20 became even more impressive as she salvaged the win through a narrow lead. Only Ken Jennings had a longer reign as champion, and she easily became Jeopardy!'s top money winner among female contestants before even entering the Tournament of Champions.
- After the Battle of the Decades and Arthur Chu and Julia Collins' runs, the impressive 30th season ends in a tiebreaker at the end of the Teen Tournament, with Jeff Xie pulling off the win.
- The Tournament of Champions in the following season saw both Arthur Chu and Julia Collins make it all the way to the finals. The winner? Ben Ingram, using both days' Final Jeopardy to pull an impressive upset.
- So far, Season 31 has had FOUR instances of a game ending in a tie between two players and both coming back the next day.
- December 1, 2014: On the first episode of Kids' Week, a young boy named Cerulean Ozarow goes for a True Daily Double in Double Jeopardy! despite being well in the lead... and gets it right. Alex remarked that his parents in the audience must've had a heart attack when he asked to go true Daily Double, and another when he got it right.
