Clementi And The Nature Of Privacy Harm
By Ryan Calo on November 6, 2010 at 8:11 pm
Ann Bartow once criticized Daniel Solove for not providing enough "dead bodies" in his discussion of privacy. I tend to disagree that such proof is necessary. But privacy has seen a dead body recently—that of Rutgers University student Tyler Clementi.
The narrative around Clementi's tragic suicide continues to shift. The press originally reported that Clementi killed himself after his roommate invited the entire campus to view footage of Clementi having sex with another man. The Associated Press is now reporting that, according to the roommate's defense attorney, no one but he and his friend ever saw the video.
The question of whether the defendants recorded or broadcast the web cam is highly relevant to whether there has been a privacy violation. Yet it is hardly relevant at all to the question of whether there has been a privacy harm.
Will Robots Be 'Generative'?
By Ryan Calo on September 8, 2010 at 1:32 pm
I don't know that generativity is a theory, strictly speaking. It's more of a quality. (Specifically, five qualities.) The attendant theory, as I read it, is that technology exhibits these particular, highly desirable qualities as a function of specific incentives. These incentives are themselves susceptible to various forces—including, it turns out, consumer demand and citizen fear.
The law is in a position to influence this dynamic. Thus, for instance, Comcast might have a business incentive to slow down peer-to-peer traffic and only refrain due to FCC policy. Or, as Barbara van Schewick demonstrates inter alia in Internet Architecture and Innovation, a potential investor may lack the incentive to fund a start up if there is a risk that the product will be blocked.
Similarly, online platforms like Facebook or Yahoo! might not facilitate communication to the same degree in the absence of Section 230 immunity for fear that they will be held responsible for the thousand flowers they let bloom. I agree with Eric Goldman's recent essay in this regard: it is no coincidence that the big Internet players generally hail from these United States.
(Im)Perfect Enforcement
By Ryan Calo on September 7, 2010 at 12:21 pm
Prohibition wasn't working. President Hoover assembled the Wickersham Commission to investigate why. The Commission concluded that despite an historic enforcement effort—including the police abuses that made the Wickersham Commission famous—the government could not stop everyone from drinking. Many people, especially in certain city neighborhoods, simply would not comply. The Commission did not recommend repeal at this time, but by 1931 it was just around the corner.
Five years later an American doctor working in a chemical plant made a startling discovery. Several workers began complaining that alcohol was making them sick, causing most to stop drinking it entirely—"involuntary abstainers," as the doctor, E.E. Williams, later put it. It turns out they were in contact with a chemical called disulfiram used in the production of rubber. Disulfiram is well-tolerated and water-soluble. Today, it is marketed as the popular anti-alcoholism drug Antabuse.
Were disulfiram discovered just a few years earlier, would federal law enforcement have dumped it into key parts of the Chicago or Los Angeles water supply to stamp out drinking for good? Probably not. It simply would not have occurred to them. No one was regulating by architecture then. To dramatize this point: when New York City decided twenty years later to end a string of garbage can thefts by bolting the cans to the sidewalk, the decision made the front page of the New York Times. The headline read: "City Bolts Trash Baskets To Walks To End Long Wave Of Thefts."
In an important but less discussed chapter in The Future of the Internet, Jonathan Zittrain explores our growing taste and capacity for "perfect enforcement."
Readers are likely familiar with the cyberlaw mantra that "code is law." What's striking is that since Lawrence Lessig published Code in 1999, relatively little has been written about the dangers of regulation by architecture, particularly outside of the context of intellectual property. Many legal scholars—Neil Katyal, Elizabeth Joh, Edward Cheng—have instead argued for more regulation by architecture on the basis that it is less discriminatory or more effective.

Computers Freedom Privacy... And Robotics
By Ryan Calo on June 18, 2010 at 5:03 pm
ACM Computers Freedom Privacy is in its 20th year. This year was exciting to me in that robots entered the mix. My panel on the topic featured forecaster and essayist Paul Saffo, EFF's Brad Templeton, philosopher Patrick Lin, and was moderated by Wired's Gary Wolf. You can find a video recording of our panel here. I also spoke to the Dr. Katherine Albrecht Radio Show, which was broadcasting live from the conference. Click here to listen.
When a Robot Kills, Is It Murder or Product Liability?
I am a law professor who writes about robotics. I'm also a big Paolo Bacigalupi fan, particularly his breakout novel The Windup Girl involving an artificial girl. So for me, "Mika Model" was not entirely new territory. For all my familiarity with its themes, however, Bacigalupi's story revealed an important connection in robotics law that had never before occurred to me.
Robots in American Law
Tech companies may be our best hope for resisting government surveillance
Over the last year, the FBI has had harsh words for Apple, accusing the tech giant of endangering human lives and aiding criminals by turning on encryption by default on the iPhone. When Google announced it would add the feature to Android, meaning that smartphone users would need to unlock their phones for police to be able to go through them, government officials and law enforcement representatives similarly freaked out.
Privacy and Markets: A Love Story
Privacy law scholars tend to be skeptical of markets. Markets "unravel" privacy by penalizing consumers who prefer it, degrade privacy by treating it as just another commodity to be traded, and otherwise interfere with the values or processes that privacy exists to preserve.
3 times humans have sued their robot impostors — and won
"It turns out that several people have found themselves in that situation over the years. University of Washington law professor Ryan Calo explores how they handled their dilemmas in the first section of his paper, "Robots in American Law."
The first tale Calo tackles comes from the early 90s. Its young hero is Vanna White. You may know her as the Wheel of Fortune co-host charged with flipping over letters and wearing baller gowns all the time — but she's also a defender of human identity."
New state bill would let cops shoot down drones
""I am not sure why Utah believes it has the authority to allow local law enforcement to 'neutralize' a technology, which the FAA characterizes as an aircraft, out of the sky," Ryan Calo, a law professor at the University of Washington, told Ars. "Could they shoot down a remotely piloted Cessna?"
Beyond the safety issue, Calo also pointed to a possible First Amendment concern.
Apple doesn't have to unlock drug dealer's iPhone, judge says
""This is a very important decision," Ryan Calo, a University of Washington law professor, said of the Brooklyn ruling. "Other courts, even in jurisdictions where it isn't binding, will look to this order and read the judge's reasoning and, though the exact context will be different, the principle that there are limits to what the All Writs Act can compel will be interesting to all cases involving this act.""
The First 'Robotic' Car Crash Happened in 1947
"This case is a curio of weird American history, and it's a frustrating look at gender roles at the time. But it's not entirely frivolous to look back at the case now that a Google driverless car has been deemed at fault in a crash.
First Take: Apple-FBI fight may be custom made for Supreme Court
"University of Washington law professor Ryan Calo called the New York ruling "the first shoe to drop" among many to come. "Depending on how they drop, it could dictate that this case goes all the way to the Supreme Court, as Tim Cook has alluded.""

Drones fly faster than the law can keep up with
August 13, 2015
""We don't need to get to this crazy world in which robots are trying to take over in order for there to be really difficult, interesting complex legal questions," says Ryan Calo, professor of law at the University of Washington, "That's happening right now."
Here's a sample:
"How do we make sure these drones are not recording things that they shouldn't," Calo says, "and those things aren't winding up .... on Amazon servers,or somehow getting out to the public or to law enforcement?"
Amazon's vision of a drone highway in the sky
July 29, 2015
"What will Amazon's drone highway in the sky look like?
Probably not a drone highway. Amazon unveiled a proposal where low-level air space would be carved out for drones: 200 to 400 feet would be reserved for high-speed transit drones. Below, there would be space for low -speed local drone traffic, and above would be a no-fly buffer zone to keep drones out of manned-vehicle air space, aka flight paths.
Robots run new Chinese factory
July 28, 2015
Robots have been used in factories around the world for decades, often carrying out dangerous or highly repetitive operations. However the city of Dongguan, China, has become home to the first fully automated factory - where the workforce is made of up entirely of robots. Changying Precision Technology will only employ a small number of human staff who will monitor operations of the machinery, but all processes are completed by robotic equipment.
Is this a sign of things to come? Newsday spoke to Ryan Calo, a professor with the University of Washington Tech Policy Lab.

Corrections officer fatally shoots Mass. police officer
Officer Kevin Ambrose was responding to a domestic call
Associated Press
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Authorities say a western Massachusetts police officer responding to a domestic violence call has been fatally shot by a New York City correction officer who critically wounded his former girlfriend before killing himself.
Police say Officer Kevin Ambrose went to the woman's Springfield apartment Monday after she called 911 to say her ex-boyfriend was nearby and she feared for her life.
Springfield police say Hempstead, N.Y., resident Shawn Bryan shot the officer through the door of his ex-girlfriend's apartment, shot the girlfriend and then shot himself outside in a car.
Bryan had worked at the Rikers Island correctional facility. His ex-girlfriend is hospitalized in critical condition. She had obtained a restraining order against him 45 minutes before the shootings.
The New York City Department of Correction says it's "shocked and saddened" by what happened.

Washington County, WI, Sheriff Blasts Milwaukee Police Chief, Feinstein, And Obama On Gun 'Control'
While my family's Wisconsin residence is not in Washington County, I thought I'd share with you this morning something residents of the nearby county received from Sheriff Dale Schmidt last week:
To Washington County Residents, 03-08-2013
Recent comments on gun control by Milwaukee Police Chief Flynn highlight, for me, a problem with law enforcement in this country. Too often, law enforcement leaders confuse all citizens with criminals, and see themselves as "kings" of their jurisdiction instead of employees of the people.
In 2009, when Wisconsin's Attorney General issued his advisory memo on open carry, it created little discussion within my department. That is because we already knew it was legal and protected by the Constitution. Chief Flynn's position quoted from JSOnline was, "my message to my troops is if you see anybody carrying a gun on the streets of Milwaukee, we'll put them on the ground, take the gun away and then decide whether you have a right to carry it." Sounds like a man who makes no distinction between law-abiding citizens and criminals. That is one example, but I believe other law enforcement leaders operate under the "end justifies the means" policing model, Constitution be damned.
Law enforcement in America was never supposed to be about "ruling the people." We are hired by "the people" to do that part of crime fighting they cannot do themselves. The citizens never gave up their protection against unlawful search of their persons, or seizure of their property, or the right to own guns and defend themselves, in that process. Does that make it harder to ferret out the criminals amongst us and arrest them? Yes it does, but it is how we protect our free society from a tyrannical government. I believe Chief Flynn is truly concerned about the safety of his officers, but law-abiding citizens are not the threat, and any law to improve officer safety must first be Constitutional.
The way it is supposed to work, is that the citizens elect people to run the government. Those elected people then hire police chiefs and officers to enforce society's laws within the confines of the Constitution. In the case of Sheriffs, the people elect them directly. Either way, we are all accountable to the people, we are not their rulers. The law-abiding people are on our side and we should be focused on protecting their Constitutional rights, not limiting them! How did this get so backward?
The assertion, by President Obama, Senator Feinstein and Chief Flynn, that if certain types of guns or features of guns are banned, then violent crime will go away, is a fantasy. More importantly, they should not even be talking about it because the people hired them to protect that right. We should be talking about how to identify and stop people before they commit mass murders. We should be talking about why criminals remain on the street after multiple convictions for violent crimes. And we should be talking about how to change the sub-culture in this country that places no value on human life or personal responsibility.
Every American was appalled when they learned Adam Lanza inexplicably killed 20 children in their own classroom. But President Obama showed no leadership when he immediately took the focus to banning guns. That "kingly" position, shared by Senator Feinstein and Chief Flynn, essentially blames any American who supports the 2nd Amendment for those deaths, and excuses the perpetrator.
What if after Sandy Hook, President Obama had said, "this is bad; dangerous people are committing mass killings in public places, drug addicts are robbing banks, pharmacies and gas stations, and the Drug Cartels are operating in our central city neighborhoods. The violence in this country is more than our law enforcement people can handle right now. We work for you, and we need your help." Might that have produced something more positive for this country than a threat to turn half its citizens into criminals for owning guns?
Rotten and disturbed individuals commit violent crimes, and that is where law enforcement leaders need to focus their energies. We were elected and hired by the people, and then took an oath to protect their Constitutional rights. I suggest we try a fresh angle on violent crime by inviting the law-abiding public to be a part of the solution instead of carpet bombing their individual rights. It would do Sheriffs, Chiefs and the President well to remember Sir Robert Peel's 7th Principle of Policing:
Police, at all times, should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and the public are the police; the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence.
Mr. President, Chief, it's time to trust the People, not rule them.
Dale K. Schmidt, Sheriff
Washington County, WI
All I can say is, thank God for Wisconsin county sheriffs like Milwaukee County's David Clarke Jr. and Washington County's Dale Schmidt.

Publishers are making the investment in native ads and sponsored content because the engagement metrics show a favorable reader experience. While the signs point to native ads being here to stay, publishers still have a lot of room to improve and optimize the native ad experience before it has long-lasting appeal. One opportunity that publishers can take to enhance their native ad program is by delivering a custom site search experience that helps advertisers reach their target audience while also showing fast and relevant results to readers. Here are three ways to successfully incorporate native ads into your reader's search experience.

Fuji Bakery in Bellevue and Seattle offers an array of Japanese and European baked goods and sandwiches.
Upon entering Fuji Bakery situated in the corner of a small Bellevue shopping mall, your five senses kick into high gear.
Then your hands quickly take control as you pick up a basket lined with wax paper and tongs to choose from the vast array of Japanese and European baked goods.
Take one, take all, at this delectable self-service bakery.
Owner Akihiro Nakamura opened shop in May 2009 and wasted no time hiring head baker Takahito Hirai, who worked as a pastry chef with renowned chef Joël Robuchon at his Michelin's restaurant in Tokyo. Another standout is Yushi Osawa, a former pastier in Japan.

The main motto, says Nakamura, is to provide healthy and tasty artisan-style treats using organic and additive-free ingredients.
In October 2010, Nakamura opened up a small shop in the Chinatown International District, where freshly baked items are delivered each morning from Bellevue.
The menu: Sweet and savory items shine here, but don't overlook the 5-½-inch baguette sandwiches ($2.99). Your head will spin when you look around at all the sweet treats ($1.25-$4) along with freshly baked breads (pan), curry beef "piroshki" buns, red-bean buns and other daily specials ($2.50-$4). They also make cakes infused with mango, strawberry, tiramisu and green tea, and a fruit tart and mousse ($35-$65).
What to write home about: Focaccia with seasonal grilled vegetables ($2.99); curry quiche ($3.50) with shrimp, thyme and green onion; poire ($2.50), a vanilla-flavored pear custard that had a light, flaky crust; brioche fromage or brioche wild salmon ($1.25); and my kids loved the milk stick ($1.50), a soft breadstick layered inside with condensed milk and other "secret buttery" ingredients.
The setting: Counter service in Bellevue. Counter service and one small table at the Seattle bakery.
Summing up: Four of us got filled on three baguette sandwiches, one vegetable focaccia, one ham and egg salad sandwich ($3.99), two quiche and two brioches. We also took home some desserts: a poire, fraise (strawberry) custard ($2.50), kouign amann ($2.50) and three milk sticks. The bill: $39, including tax.

Jim Ross Talks About Rumors of Brock Lesnar Possibly Working for WWE and UFC
by Amish Patel - December 29, 2013
– In his latest blog on jrsbarbq.com, Jim Ross talked about rumors of Brock Lesnar possibly working both WWE and UFC at the same time:
"Oh, yeah…no Brock Lesnar at #UFC168 contrary to the rumor of the week online and elsewhere. I wrote about this situation in my last blog (Saturday) which you can access here on the site. Why would anyone leave the protected, show biz world of WWE where Brock's working a part time gig for BIG money to risk his health and legacy to step back into the Octagon? Again, if I'm Lesnar I'm taking all of the WWE money that I can count (and saving it) plus I'd even be willing to work more RAW TV dates to better promote and monetize the reason that WWE hired Lesnar in the first place, to sell PPV's.
The question is can Brock or WWE ever fully monetize their arrangement to the fullest extent with Lesnar only working a handful of dates a year? I've got mixed emotions regarding that one but for each party's sake, I hope that they do.
Paul Heyman is a marvelous representative for Lesnar but no one, not even WWE's most talented talker, can carry the entire load with the PPV customers that only see Lesnar a handful of times a year.
Lesnar is not the Undertaker and Brock doesn't have 'The Streak' going for him at WrestleMania. Big difference."

New Acura ILX: Luxury model minus luxury sticker price
For car shoppers looking for an upscale luxury sedan that doesn't arrive with a luxurious price tag, the new 2013 Acura ILX is worth a look.
And speaking of looks, it has an attractive curb appeal. The ILX can sit in the driveway and definitely receive a thumbs up from the neighbors making an observation on looks alone.
Of course, no one wants to purchase a vehicle that looks good and can't perform. The ILX can perform as well, providing solid acceleration, a smart interior, good (not great) gas mileage, and a "fun" element thanks to its adroit handling.
This entry-level luxury sedan can be purchased for just under $26,000, while the upgraded version with the technology package isn't outrageously priced at $31,400. The ILX also comes in a hybrid with a $28,900 sticker price.
The competition includes the Buick Verano, Audi A3 and Lexus CT 200h, two other premium models.
The front-wheel drive ILX replaces the TSX as Acura's most entry-level vehicle. Because it's based on the Honda Civic, some might label the ILX as an upgraded Civic. As a former satisfied Civic owner, I can honestly say that the ILX ranks quite a bit higher than a Civic and surprisingly gets a little better gas mileage.
For one thing, the ILX is a lot zippier, especially the premium model that features a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine that generates 201 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque. It feels quicker than the estimated 0-60 mph time of 7.1 seconds.
The base ILX is a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder with 150 horsepower and 140 pound-feet of torque. It's two seconds slower going 0-60 mph than the premium ILX. The hybrid version is a 1.5-liter, 4-cylinder paired with an electric motor that has a combined 111 horsepower.
From an interior standpoint, the ILX won't dazzle anyone. However, it's very well constructed. The controls are within convenient reach and are easy to master, and even though it's small, the 5-inch display screen is a real plus. Another positive is automatic climate control that comes standard.
The ILX provides considerable space for a compact car. The front seats are both roomy and comfortable, although head room might be an issue for taller occupants. The back seat offers good leg room and passengers won't feel cramped overall. Trunk space is average at 12.4 cubic feet.
Although the ILX is no sports car, its handling does provide a sporty driving feel, thanks to its light weight and rigid suspension.
For anyone shopping for an upper-end Civic like the SI model, for only a few thousand dollars more the ILX should be considered.
2013 Acura ILX
- Performance: 2.0-liter, four-cylinder, 150 horsepower or 2.4-liter, four-cylinder, 201 horsepower
- Mileage estimate: 24-39 mpg

Rihanna leasing LA home at discounted rate
Want to rent out a celebrity's home in a posh California neighborhood at a "bargain" rate?
If you act fast, you can move into singer Rihanna's home in the Pacific Palisades community of Los Angeles at a discounted rate of $65,000 a month, according to Yahoo! The real rent is $100,000 a month, but it won't inflate to that rate until January 2014.
The pop singer bought the 9,595-square-foot home in December 2012 for roughly $12 million. She is currently living in a condo in Chinatown in Manhattan, and has turned to leasing out her L.A. home, which was built in 2012 and has 7 bedrooms, 9 baths and media and game rooms.
Yahoo! says she's had at least three attempted break-ins — one successful — since buying the L.A. pad, but the home comes equipped with "smart home" security, among other high-end features.

Crazy News Quiz for Monday, June 15
by Sheryl Stewart
posted Jun 15 2009 1:05PM
Q: Two championships were won this weekend. The Lakers took the NBA crown, while over in the UK, a new world champ was crowned in the sport of ________________?
A: Toe Wrestling (ick!)
"Nasty" Nash took the title away from The "Toeminator" over the weekend.
Here's a link to an article about Nasty Nash
. He has been toe wrestling for 15 years and has endured 9 broken toes for the love of the sport. I don't see why people are into this sport. It's kind of boring...in fact, it just looks like two grown men playing extreme footsie....but see what you think in the video clip from this weekend's contest.
Apparently, Jay Leno is not as creeped out by other people's toes as most of us are. He toe-wrestled Nasty Nash back in '97 when he won his first championship. Check out the video below.

Mediocre Should Never Be In Our Vocabulary
By Mark Whitt
For some reason, we often settle for mediocre in various aspects of our life. The attitude of "just getting by" or "that should be enough" gets us a passing grade in school and sometimes our job. But, does mediocrity have any place in a growing relationship with Christ? Does it belong in a young … [Read More...]

Getting good hitting, decent pitching and taking advantage of wildness, the Monett American Legion Post baseball team swept a double-header from Webb City, 10-4 and 9-3, last Saturday at Monett North Park.
Monett evened its season record to four wins and four defeats.
"The boys came out ready to play hard. We hit the ball well and were very aggressive on the bath paths in both games," Monett Manager Blaine Trout said.
Webb City took a brief 1-0 first inning lead in Monett's first home game of the season, but Monett came back with four runs in the bottom half, and it was all Monett the rest of the way.
Pokey Henderson drew a lead-off walk and scored on an RBI single by Preston Thompson. Jake Smith walked and Marcus McCaffrey singled. Smith scored on a single by Marcus Enloe, and Chris Trout had an RBI single for a 4-1 Monett lead.
|The host team added three more runs in the second. Colten Phillips singled and stole second. He scored on an RBI single by Smith. McCaffrey had an RBI single in the inning, and Enloe plated him with a double.
|Leading 7-2 entering the bottom of the third, Monett got two more runs. Andy Hagedorn was hit by a pitch, and Henderson had a bunt single. Both runners scored on a double by Phillips. Monett's final run came in the fourth inning on an RBI single by Doug Aldridge.
McCaffrey was the winning pitcher. He went the distance, fanning five and allowing just three hits.
In the night-cap, Monett once again spotted the visitors a first inning run and then came roaring back with eight runs in the bottom of the inning to take command.
It was primarily wildness on the part of the Webb City pitcher that was his undoing. Phillips, Henderson and Hagedorn all drew walks. Todd Forgey tied the game with a single. Enloe, Trout and Mitchell Gibson drove in runs with bases-loaded walks. Gavin Bremer followed with an RBI single, and Phillips ended the big frame with a bases-loaded triple.
Monett's other run came in the second when Enloe was hit by a pitch and later scored on a double by Trout.
Gibson was the winning pitcher. He struck out three.
Monett will be in action Friday in the Carl Junction Tournament. Monett will play McDonald County at 6 p.m. and will wrap up the tourney Saturday by meeting Aurora at 4:30 p.m. and Carl Junction at 6:30 p.m.

Color Us Surprised: Is Tom Cruise Dating A LES Resto Manager?
We have to apologize. You see, we've been so busy tracking the daily lives of Katie and Suri post-
escape divorce, we've completely forgotten about that ol' ex-hubby Tom. We've been rooting for our favorite mother-daughter duo and their new NYC life, but now the master Scientologist himself is hitting the town in our fair city, and making some headlines of his own.
It seems that those secret wife auditions are back in action, because Tom's got a (rumored) new girlfriend. And, in true TC fashion, he's been out dirty dancing with her. Spies caught Tom getting hot and heavy with Cynthia Jorge, the manager of local spot Beauty & Essex. While some sources claim the two are "just friends," we know that Tom doesn't grind with just anybody.
Now, we know that a man needs companionship and all, but we have to say, we can't believe Tom is the first one to get back into the dating scene. Here's hoping that Katie's got the man of her dreams holed up in her Chelsea abode, and having a good laugh about all of this. (New York Post)

Photolithography in the semiconductor fabrication process is the core stage that determines the quality of semiconductor chips. The fabrication process is a batch process that causes variation in the quality of chips; thus, uniformity has always been an important goal of the process. This research is a case study on optimizing the photolithography stage to improve uniformity and the target achievement of critical dimension, a quality measure of semiconductor chips. The case study finds the optimal setting of input variables in photolithography by applying multivariate normal linear modeling with operational data obtained by sampling during manufacturing. The predicted performance of the optimal setting is found to be close to the limit of improvement estimated based on the model. For practitioners, several issues that can be considered for better optimization are also provided. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

I've been playing piano and keyboard instruments for 30 years, and teaching for 12.
I teach important musicianship skills as well as proper technique and relevant music theory.
I enjoy working with most of my students, especially those who practice hard. I find all students unique and they response differently to my requests or questions. I feel that very often I need to react spontaneously to their responses. For the beginners I mainly focus on reading musical notes and learning correct rhythmic values. With beginners who haven't played the piano at all I teach finger exercises written finger numbers only. Then I use Piano Adventures theory, lesson, technique and artistry, performance, and popular music books. Although Alfred's and Bastien's methods are well known, I prefer Piano Adventures because they introduce the coordination of right and left hand in more progressive manner. At the beginning the following will be covered.
• Postures at the piano, finger numbers, high and low on the keyboard
• Music alphabet, Intervals
• Musical form, Dynamic marks
• Staff; line notes, space notes
• Time signature, accent mark, legato, staccato
• Basic chords ...
I am taught by top teachers at The New England Conservatory. I have performed numerously in Jordan Hall and in Horticultural hall in Boston.

Where do I begin....I experienced a horrific nightmare with this Realtor. I am new to the area, moved here from Georgia. And met this Realtor after calling them on one of their listings. From that brief encounter, they followed up calling me to ask me to let them 'Represent' me on a new Luxury home I had purchased. Let's just fast-forward and say after I had already Signed the Contract, the Builder removed the pages where I didn't have a Realtor and let them Sign. That was my only meeting with them until I closed !!! She walked away with 12k, telling me she would help me sell my Vacation Condo for only $500. When the time came to sell, she came up with all kinds of excuses not to meet me and became defensive and put the blame on me, indicating that she thought it best I find another Realtor. Obviously, she has done this before, so I am now in the process of trying to get her license suspended for being such a horrible Realtor, lying to all involved. But, more important, deceiving me. I now must hire a new Realtor, paying full commission. Watch out for this Slick one..... the kicker was that she Texted me a message that she meant for someone else, that said, 'She was sick of my Sh--....' how unprofessional !!!, Right!! She tried to tell me it was somehow on my phone from another client and I'm a Computer programmer, whose very knowledgeable in how cell phones are programmed. Run from this one - she told me she had 14 years of experience. Well, 14 years doesn't make for a good or even sub-standard Realtor. Lesson Learned.
