House Democrats Vow to Fight for Tougher Gun Laws
House Democrats on Wednesday vowed to take on the firearm industry despite the potential political risks, pushing new restrictions on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in the wake of last week's shooting at a school in Connecticut.
Insisting "this time is different" and accusing the leadership of the National Rifle Association of being "enablers of mass murder," 20-plus members of the House Democratic caucus led by Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California said they would not back down from a political fight to curb access to firearms like those used in the killing of 26 children and adults in Newtown, Conn.
"Let's take a political risk and officially take that out of the hands of shooters," Mrs. Pelosi said, flanked by a number of colleagues who told personal stories about their own experiences dealing with gun violence.
Rep. Jim Himes (D., Conn.) also offered a stern rebuke to the suggestion from some Republicans that a better armed citizenry would prevent such shootings, and that teachers or administrators should have access to weapons within schools. That argument, he said, "is not founded in reality, in facts, or history. It's founded in the fantasy of testosterone-laden individuals who have blood on their hands for articulating that idea."
The comments came just before President Barack Obama held a press conference in which he said all gun buyers should be subject to background checks, part of a broader effort to be led by Vice President Joe Biden to consider changes to gun and mental-health laws.
Those on hand included Rep. Ron Barber (D., Ariz.), who was standing with former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords when they, along with 17 others, were shot by a gunman in January 2011. Mr. Barber won a special election to replace Ms. Giffords after she resigned last year.
"We should have members of the Republican caucus standing with us," Mr. Barber said, adding that "the political gamesmanship must stop" on the issue of gun violence.
The issue of gun control and reining in gun violence has long posed a difficult political proposition for many politicians, who worry about gun lobbying groups such as the NRA and the influential reputation they wield in Washington. But those present said those concerns should not matter and had strong words for the pro-firearm groups.
"When the NRA responds to these kinds of mass killings they really hide, you don't hear from them," said Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D., N.Y.), whose husband was killed and her son was injured in a 1993 shooting spree on a Long Island Railroad train. "Even this time they shut down their Facebook page because they didn't want anyone to read what was on there."
Ms. McCarthy said Democrats did not want to limit the ability of hunters and other responsible gun owners from owning firearms, though she insisted that "we can protect the Second Amendment rights, but we can also protect our communities."

Ablynx raises €31.5m
01.03.2013 - Single-chain antibody specialist Ablynx has raised €31.5m through a private placement of new shares using an accelerated bookbuilding procedure.
The Ghent-based company placed 4,377,919 new shares at a price of €7.2 per share to institutional investors – a 6.7% discount on the previous closing price. This brings the total number of shares after the issue on 5 March to 48,157,116. The private placement was oversubscribed and certain pre-IPO shareholders and warrant holders sold 1,872,081 shares at the same price in conjunction with this transaction.
Ablynx said it will use the money to develop further its rheumatoid arthritis nanobody ALX-0061, which delivered positive interim Phase II results in mid- February. The company said the cash injection will give it more flexibility in the structure and timing of potential licence deals for its candidate drugs caplacizumab (anti-vWF) and ALX-0171 (anti-RSV). Additionally, Ablynx said it plans to drive its pre-clinical programmes forward. Ablynx investor KBC Securities NV acted as Global Coordinator and together with Bryan, Garnier & Co. Ltd and Nomura Code Securities Ltd as Joint Bookrunners for the placement.

ALCATRAZ CLINIC AT ALCATRAZ - FRIDAY MARCH 1st. 7:00 a.m.
Water World Swim
Friday, March 1, 2013 at 7:00 AM (PST)
ALCATRAZ SWIM CLINIC AT ALCATRAZ FRIDAY MARCH 1st
Minimum 2 - Maximum 6 swimmers
PLACE TO MEET: Fisherman Wharf -Jefferson Street and Jones St, San Francisco, (Next to Castagnola's Restaurant.)
BY TAKING ONE OF OUR CLINICS YOU RECEIVE A 30% discount for one or many of our Monthly Alcatraz Swims.
During our Alcatraz clinics, swimmers are transported to Alcatraz by boat. Once we arrive at Alcatraz the participants swim parallel to the island to experience sighting and feel the currents of the bay. After the swimmers return to the boat they are taken to the potato patch where they can experience the rough water directly in front of Alcatraz. This would be the start of the swim practice. This is very valuable experience so that on race day you don't encounter an unwelcome surprise-you are ready! The last jump is usually near the destination of the race and swimmers practice their sighting, and "feel" the water near the end of the Triathlon swim, the steps of the Saint Francis Yacht Club or Crissy Field. You will learn about the currents you might expect during your race and plan your route accordingly.
Many swimmers who have trained with us during our clinics have reported better times in their competitions this year, plus they felt strong and confident during their race.

Insightful post, then

Agh! No auto-save!
12. Paper: Problem-based learning for foundation computer science courses
The paper reports our evaluation of the approach. This has two parts: assessment of a trial, with a three-year longitudinal follow-up of the students; reports of student learning improve-ment after we had become experienced in full implementation of PBL.
We conclude with a summary of our experience over three years of PBL teaching and discuss some of the pragmatic issues around introducing the radical change in teaching, maintaining staff support, and continuing refinement of our PBL teaching. We also discuss some of our approaches to the commonly acknowledged challenges of PBL teaching.</blockquote>
Hmmm. Problem-based learning is about working on large, real-world problems, not just the toy exercises we do in class. Must check out footnote 4. Teacher as facilitator - precisely! I like the focus on problem-solving skills. Hey, they use Blue too. I so agree with these objectives. I like how the students plan their study and choose the exercises. I want to learn how to do research like this.
Footnote 4: D. Boud and G. Feletti. The Challenge of Problem Based Learning. Kogan Page, 1991.
11. Considering part-time
In brief:
I'm thinking of teaching part-time instead of full-time. I want to collect and refine exercises in introductory computing, explore other schools and other cultures, and chat with people from different walks of life. I also want to take a handful of other classes and workshops like writing, cooking, sewing, theater...
More detail sometime soon - tomorrow?

<laugh> Certainly wouldn't think of getting into a relationship only as a buffer; think the world is tons of fun and enjoy living very much. Perhaps would like to be able to share stories with someone at the end of the day or come up with clever load-balancing to take advantage of respective strengths and weaknesses, but do not feel any need to hide from the world. =) Personally enjoy friendships very much. Also have realized that have no real time limit for PhD and in fact may be able to bring more to it with more experience, but definitely want to earn it before possibly being distracted by personal life, as hear it is very difficult for women in particular if they've already settled down.

Rep. Pete Stark's defeat by a young, insurgent Democrat marks the end of an era and perhaps the start of a cycle of internal party warfare.
Just as California's new top-two primary system let Dublin councilman and Alameda County prosecutor Eric Swalwell reach and win this general election against the dean of California's House delegation, so too is he likely to face a fellow Democrat's challenge in 2014.
It might be from Ro Khanna of Fremont, a former Obama administration official with a book on the stands, growing name recognition and $1.26 million banked for a campaign. Most of that was raised in one, record-breaking quarter, much of it from national Democratic benefactors who believe he's the right guy for the job.
Khanna, an attorney with a Silicon Valley firm, congratulated Swalwell for "a very impressive campaign" Wednesday but said he's proud to have backed Stark and hopes the coming weeks provide "a proper opportunity to reflect on his legacy and put his body of work in proper perspective." He looks forward to working on competitiveness and manufacturing issues, he said, but "one day after the election is not the time to speculate about what I'm going to do.
"People are sick of all the electioneering, and after a couple of months of reflection, I'll make a decision about what the next, best step is for me," Khanna said. "I have a committee open, I raised funds to run for the United States Congress, and at the right time, I will do that."
State Sen. Ellen Corbett, D-San Leandro, also opened a House campaign committee -- now with about $105,000 banked -- but in March committed to finishing her state term in 2014. "I would be honored to serve in Congress, but it's too early to discuss 2014," she said Wednesday.
Swalwell said Wednesday he hasn't time now to mull 2014; he'll attend the first of two weeklong House freshman orientations next week. "I'm focused on the monumental task before me now of getting a new congressional office set up, hiring a staff and going to Washington to build some relationships that can be a part of ending this gridlock."
House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., called to congratulate him, he said, and they bonded as University of Maryland alumni.
"He's ready to work with me; he said he's looking forward to having me back there," Swalwell said, adding he's confident the next Congress' Democratic leaders will see that "what happened here was not as much about politics as it was about performance."
Stark, D-Fremont, issued a statement Wednesday saying he's honored to have served the East Bay for 40 years; he cited successes such as writing the COBRA health insurance portability law in 1985, "bringing the first computers to schools and crafting President Obama's groundbreaking health care law.
"I went to Washington by running against an unpopular war and for women's rights, opportunity for children and dignity for seniors. I leave knowing that the landscape has changed, but the needs of my constituents remain," he said, congratulating Swalwell on his victory. "I am happy to be of assistance in the future."
Campaign staffers said Stark was on an airplane Wednesday, unavailable for further comment.
For Stark, what went around came around: In 1972 he unseated an octogenarian incumbent Democrat whom he portrayed as out of touch with constituents and modern priorities, particularly regarding Vietnam. This year, Swalwell, 31, accused Stark, 80, of spending too much time at his Maryland home, missing too many votes and losing touch with the newly drawn 15th District's constituents.
Swalwell initially seemed like a long shot. But Stark in April accused him of accepting "hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes" from Dublin developers -- a charge Stark retracted and apologized for eight days later. This and other springtime gaffes by Stark bolstered Swalwell's bid.
Stark's campaign as of Oct. 17 had outspent Swalwell's almost 2 to 1. But as Stark spent a lot on direct mail and relied on local party and union troops to pound the pavement for him, Swalwell found a more targeted way to engage voters using Los Angeles-based NationBuilder's technology for organizing, fundraising, communications and get-out-the-vote efforts.

Epinephrine Side Effects
For the Consumer
Applies to epinephrine: injection injectable, injection solution
In addition to its needed effects, some unwanted effects may be caused by epinephrine. In the event that any of these side effects do occur, they may require medical attention.
Severity: Major
You should check with your doctor immediately if any of these side effects occur when taking epinephrine:Incidence not known:
- Abnormal or decreased touch sensation
- arm, back, or jaw pain
- bleeding, blistering, burning, coldness, discoloration of the skin, feeling of pressure, hives, infection, inflammation, itching, lumps, numbness, pain, rash, redness, scarring, soreness, stinging, swelling, tenderness, tingling, ulceration, or warmth at the injection site
- blurred vision
- chest pain or discomfort
- chest tightness or heaviness
- dizziness
- fainting
- fast, irregular, pounding, or racing heartbeat or pulse
- fear or nervousness
- headache
- nausea or vomiting
- paleness of the skin
- pounding in the ears
- restlessness
- shakiness in the legs, arms, hands, or feet
- slow or fast heartbeat
- stroke
- sweating
- trembling or shaking of the hands or feet
- troubled breathing
- unusual tiredness or weakness
If any of the following symptoms of overdose occur while taking epinephrine, get emergency help immediately:Symptoms of overdose:
- Agitation
- coldness of the skin
- coma
- confusion
- decreased urine output
- depression
- drowsiness
- hostility
- irritability
- lethargy
- lightheadedness, dizziness, or fainting
- muscle twitching
- pounding, slow heartbeat
- rapid weight gain
- rapid, deep breathing
- seizures
- stomach cramps
- stupor
- swelling of the face, ankles, or hands
For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to epinephrine: compounding powder, inhalation aerosol, inhalation solution, injectable kit, injectable solution, intravenous solution, subcutaneous suspension
Nervous system
Nervous system side effects have included fear, agitation, anxiety, tenseness, restlessness, headache, tremor, dizziness, lightheadedness, nervousness, sleeplessness, excitability, weakness, and increased parkinsonian tremors. Complications associated with epidural anesthesia with epinephrine have included nerve root ischemia and clinical paralysis/plegia.[Ref]
Epinephrine can induce hypokalemia with resultant T wave changes on the electrocardiogram.
Rare cases of myocardial infarction have been associated with relatively small doses of epinephrine in patients at risk for coronary artery disease.
Rare cases of cardiomyopathy have been associated with brief and chronic exposure to epinephrine (including inhaled epinephrine). Animal studies have shown that catecholamines can cause an influx of calcium into myocardial cells, which may cause myocardial injury, particularly during periods of epinephrine-induced coronary vasoconstriction. Limited animal data suggest that calcium antagonists may protect against the cardiotoxic effects of catecholamines by preventing the generation of plasma borne cytotoxic compounds, which are probably free radicals.
Epinephrine may be more arrhythmogenic in some patients, such as patients with congenital long QT syndrome.[Ref]
Cardiovascular side effects have included elevations in heart rate or blood pressure in up to 55% and arrhythmias in 3% to 17% (including fatal ventricular arrhythmias) when used to treat cardiac arrest. In smaller doses, epinephrine has caused peripheral coronary arterial vasodilation, but in larger doses, epinephrine has caused diffuse vasoconstriction. This has caused increased peripheral vascular resistance, which was important in patients with coronary artery disease (worsened myocardial ischemia/angina) or hypertension (risk of emergent hypertension/stroke). Dilated cardiomyopathy and acute left ventricular dysfunction have been associated with the use of epinephrine.
Arrhythmias, including fatal ventricular fibrillation, have been reported in patients with underlying cardiac disease. Rapid rises in blood pressure have produced cerebral hemorrhage, particularly in elderly patients with cardiovascular disease. Angina may occur in patients with coronary artery disease.[Ref]
Local side effects have included local tissue ischemia after repeated injections. Chronic IM epinephrine injections have induced local vasoconstriction, predisposing patients to Clostridial infections. Other local reactions have included injection site pallor, coldness and hypoesthesia or injury at the injection site resulting in bruising, bleeding, discoloration, erythema or skeletal injury.[Ref]
Psychiatric side effects have included agitation, disorientation, impaired memory, aggressive or assaultive behavior, hallucinations, and psychosis.[Ref]
Respiratory side effects have rarely included pulmonary edema. In some cases, acute left ventricular dysfunction has been documented in the presence of epinephrine-induced pulmonary edema. In some patients, epinephrine has precipitated severe, prolonged asthmatic attacks.[Ref]
Metabolic side effects have included severe metabolic acidosis because of elevated blood concentrations of lactic acid after prolonged use of intravenous epinephrine. Catecholamines have induced glycogenolysis, elevated blood glucose and insulin concentrations, and hypokalemia. Rare cases of hyperglycemia and acidosis have been associated with high catecholamine states, such as anaphylaxis.[Ref]
Mattana and Singhal reviewed 420 consecutive cases of cardiac arrest and found a 28.6% incidence of acute renal failure (ARF) among patients who survived for at least 24 hours after cardiac arrest. Patients in whom ARF developed received markedly higher doses of epinephrine during resuscitative efforts than patients without ARF. High doses of epinephrine were associated with a longer duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The patients with ARF had a significantly decreased survival rate. It is possible that patients with severe cardiac disease were less resuscitatable, required more epinephrine, and were prone to develop ARF anyway. Other data have failed to associated ARF with the use of high dose epinephrine.[Ref]
Renal side effects have included new or worsened renal insufficiency in adult survivors of cardiac arrest, adults who underwent epinephrine-assisted venography, and in rare pediatric cases.[Ref]
Hypersensitivity side effects have been extremely unusual. Contact dermatitis has been associated with ocularly applied epinephrine. These reactions have typically presented with lid edema and a thick yellow discharge.[Ref]
Gastrointestinal side effects have included nausea and vomiting.[Ref]

Dunkin' Donuts Launches Holiday Contests [1]
Read More About
As the holiday season winds down, Dunkin' Donuts launched its HoliDDay Fashions Twitter & Instagram contest, inviting people to send photos of themselves in their favorite holiday garb for the chance to win a $100 Dunkin' Donuts mGift.
Through Friday, December 21, fans can submit their photos to @DunkinDonuts on Twitter or Instagram, using the special hashtag #HoliDDayContest. Dunkin' Donuts will select a total of five winners to receive a $100 mGift.
With the home stretch of the holiday season upon us, Dunkin' Donuts also commissioned an independent survey of more than 1,000 Americans, conducted by GfK, to take a closer look at how people keep themselves running through their shopping, parties, and meals during the days ahead.
Highlights include:
- Shoppers will be running right up to Christmas, and beyond.More than half of people (58 percent) do not anticipate having their shopping done until at least the week before Christmas. More than a quarter of people (26 percent) expect to be shopping for the holidays right up to Christmas Eve or even after Christmas is over.
- Go-to Gift Cards:Gift cards, purchased either online or via mobile, are the No. 1 choice for people when they realize they need a last minute gift. The majority of people (51 percent) also claim that gift cards or gift certificates are the top choice when they are looking for something affordable to give for the holidays, followed by homemade baked goods or food and beverages bought from a store.
- Closet or Bed Coat Vote 2012:Where's the best place to put coats during a holiday party: the closet or the bed? Put the argument to rest, as 48 percentpeople say the bed, compared to only 38 percent who choose the closet.
- Just say no go to mistletoe? Sixty-one percent (61 percent) of people who find themselves under the mistletoe with another holiday party guest would not actually kiss him or her.
- Mail carriers can expect a special delivery this year.Who deserves a holiday gift this year? The survey asked people to share with whom, of all the people who help keep their life running during the year, they would give a holiday gift. Mail carriers were No. 1, followed by teachers and hair stylists.
Dunkin' Donuts has a host of delicious beverages to keep people running through the season both at home and on the go. Dunkin' Donuts' holiday lineup features three flavored hot or iced coffee and lattes, including new White Chocolate, as well as classic Peppermint Mocha and Gingerbread.
Dunkin' Donuts' new Peppermint Mocha K-Cup packs make this holiday flavored coffee available at home for use with Keurig K-Cup single-cup brewing systems.
Also perfect for holiday parties or gatherings is Dunkin' Donuts' Peppermint Mocha packaged coffee, which is available for a limited time only in an 8-ounce size at participating restaurants.
Mint Hot Chocolate, available year-round at participating Dunkin' Donuts restaurants, puts a spin on the classic Hot Chocolate, combining the warmth of rich hot chocolate with a cool, invigorating flavor.
For a great gift that doesn't need wrapping, virtual Dunkin' Donuts Cards can now be sent via e-mail, text, or Facebook through the mGift feature on the Dunkin' Donuts mobile app, available for both iPhone and Android smartphones.
With the mGift feature, users can send a variety of holiday-themed virtual Dunkin' Donuts cards, which can be redeemed directly from a mobile phone at more than 6,000 participating U.S. Dunkin' Donuts locations.

Lenox realises that the centrepiece of an item such as a bath rug will always be you. Who needs a mess of artwork where your feet are expected to be. The butterflies and flowers are wisely placed off to the side to make way for the star attraction; your feet!
These intricately painted butterfly shower curtain hooks come in three colors patterns. Purple/lilac, burgundy/yellow and blue/yellow. Perfectly enamelled and shining bright.
Pollination is in the air with this elegant floral design by the world renowned Lenox company. This is an embroidered masterpiece which will make any room shine like a field of wildflowers in the noon day sun.
With one glance this bath rug makes us feel as light as a feather.
This design is what one would imagine to be a cross between Van Gogh and the Japanese master painters. This design itself could easily stand on it's own within a frame on the wall of an exclusive fine art gallery.
If the Lenox Chirp shower curtain is the masterfully baked cake of interior design then these hooks are the cherries which top it all off. These delicately sculpted porcelain birds and blossoms have been hand painted and are one of a kind.

Good read regarding Daniel Levy's buying strategy
I found this piece a really interesting read. Sheds some light on the way DL runs the club, transfer wise.
Copy and paste or just type it in!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Stop fuskcing whinging, how many shall I send down there.
Yes but by ignoring the gambles on strikers during transfer windows, we end up missing out on champions league football and are forced to sell our best players without having any replacements of equivalent quality.
Ba, Michu, Suarez, Llorente, Rossi, Damaio - all linked with us in recent seasons and what we've seen is them make a huge impact at other clubs. On the other hand we've ended up with Saha and Pienaar in recent seasons who had very little risk associated with them - both flops.
There comes a point where you must consider your short term strategy and see how it can benefit you long term - champions league football brings a £20m windfall, ability to attract better quality young players (20-22), ability to retain top talent due to guarantee of CL football, more money from tickets, TV etc. and so on. It's worth the initial outlay in a proven quality striker. On the other hand, failure to do so when other teams around us do means we could lose out on CL football, unable to keep our best talent, unable to attract the best young talent and lose potential TV revenues. So we have to spend more time looking for these supposed potential players who want to come to us, and the risk is higher because we don't have enough quality players to begin with.

Gold iPhone on eBay — for $1,500
The scarcity of the gold and silver iPhone 5S at stores and online Friday has spawned the usual cottage industry on eBay, where the devices are fetching as much as $1,500 in auctions.
The gold version is particularly lucrative. A 32-gigabyte version snatched up today at retail will net the seller $750, based on the full retail price of the handsets. Silver models were going for less – around $1,200 in some cases – but still well above retail.
The first day of availability of an iPhone often spawns unusual customer behavior, like sleeping on the sidewalk and even flying from Sweden to San Francisco to buy the devices. Apple often sells out of the most popular colors, only to replace the inventory in the coming days or weeks.
On Apple's website, shipment of the gold iPhone 5S already was listed as being delayed until October, while the silver and gray versions were delayed seven to 10 business days.
The online auction is an annual rite of iPhone launches, and eBay stands to profit. The e-commerce company takes a cut of each sale, as well as possible listing fees and fees for anyone using PayPal.

3.1-2 Renunciation of Criminal Purpose (Accessory) -- § 53a-10 (a)
Revised to December 1, 2007
Note: This instruction should be narrowly tailored with regard to the evidence presented in the case. Before giving this instruction, the court should instruct on § 53a-8 as it applies to the particular offense. The court should bear in mind its authority to direct the state to be more specific in the factual basis of the allegation.
There has been some evidence presented with regard to the defense of renunciation of criminal purpose. The defendant claims that (he/she) terminated (his/her) complicity before (his/her) actions violated the law. The statute defining this defense reads in pertinent part as follows:
it shall be a defense that the defendant terminated (his/her) complicity prior to the commission of the offense under circumstances: (1) wholly depriving it of effectiveness in the commission of the offense, and (2) manifesting a complete and voluntary renunciation of (his/her) criminal purpose.
Renunciation of criminal purpose is not voluntary if it is motivated, in whole or in part, by circumstances, not present or apparent at the inception of the actor's course of conduct, which increase the probability of detection or apprehension or which make more difficult the accomplishment of the criminal purpose. Renunciation is not complete if it is motivated by a decision to postpone the criminal conduct until a more advantageous time or to transfer the criminal effort to another but similar objective or victim.1
It is necessary that the defendant both repudiate (his/her) prior aid and deprive that aid of effectiveness. A mere change of heart or flight from the crime scene does not establish the defense of renunciation.
The defendant has no burden of proof whatsoever with respect to this defense. The state has the burden of disproving this defense beyond a reasonable doubt. In other words, the defendant is entitled to an acquittal if the state fails to disprove beyond a reasonable doubt: 1) the defendant voluntarily and completely renounced (his/her) criminal purpose; or that 2) the defendant, through (his/her) voluntary and complete renunciation, deprived the aid of its effectiveness in the commission of the crime.
1 General Statutes § 53a-10 (b).
A defendant is entitled as a matter
of law to an instruction on renunciation of criminal purpose instruction when
there is any evidence to support the claim. State v. Rosado, 178 Conn.
704, 708 (1979); State v. Livingston, 22 Conn. App. 216, 223, cert.
denied, 216 Conn. 812 (1990). See State v. Adams, 225
Conn. 270, 281-87 (1993) (instruction not warranted because defendant had
provided the gun used in the crime, and had not attempted to recover it prior to
the crime); State v. Richardson, 40 Conn. App. 526, 530-32, cert. denied,
237 Conn. 905, cert. denied, 519 U.S. 902, 117 S. Ct. 257, 136 L. Ed. 2d 183
(1996) (instruction warranted when evidence showed that driver of the getaway
car had left the scene).

SAN FRANCISCO -- The center field door opened. Out stepped Bruce Bochy, the Giants' manager. He was carrying the World Series trophy. Again. Over the past six months, Bochy has been pictured holding the gorgeous piece of hardware so often, he is getting embarrassed.
"To be honest, I tried to pawn it off today," Bochy said. "I offered money — to anybody. I feel like I'm ball-hogging it right now."
Ball hogging was allowed Friday afternoon at AT&T Park. So was flag-waving. Not to mention silver-streamer shooting.
I'm not certain when Opening Day ceremonies turned into such a spectacle, a cross between Cirque du Soleil and the Cooperstown community pageant. However, that's what sports fans seem to expect these days. Who are the Giants to argue? On Friday, they ordered up a fire department boat and the cast of "Jersey Boys." Apparently, the Blue Man Group was booked.
However, the men in Giants' uniforms, the ones at the heart of it all, were thinking mostly about the commemorative banner that was soon going to fly above right field, the one that said: "2012 World Series Champions."
Yes, a game was eventually played Friday. The Giants beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 1-0. But since this was the first time the Giants had officially played in the Bay Area since clinching the 2012 World Series title in Detroit, the commemoration was also in order. And enjoyed.
"They will remember this day the rest of their lives," Bochy said. "We all had chills, goose bumps. Some of the guys cried."
"A few guys had tears out there," confirmed third baseman Pablo Sandoval. "I'm not going to say who."
All right, so it will remain a mystery. There was another one, as well. The usual pregame jet flyover was nixed because of federal government sequestration cuts. Which was too bad, because I figured Brian Wilson, the bearded relief pitcher whose contract has expired and has not yet signed with any other team, might decide to parachute out of one jet into center field as a special surprise.
Instead, Wilson -- who raised the 2010 World Series banner two years ago -- apparently chose not to attend, although the Giants said he was invited. He missed Jon Miller, the Giants' radio announcer, serving as emcee when Bochy entered center field with the 2012 trophy and carried it to a podium near second base, where another podium already stood with the 2010 championship trophy.
The Giants' players were then individually introduced to great applause. They, trotted out the same outfield gate and through the gap between the two trophy podiums at second base before queuing up along the third base foul line. The National Anthem was warbled by the aforementioned Jersey Boys, followed by the ceremonial first pitch -- dual first pitches, actually, by Giants' postseason heroes Sandoval and Marco Scutaro.
A few minutes later, the Fire Department boat chugged from the Bay into McCovey Cove, displaying the championship banner across the bow. Of course, following harbor speed limits, the boat wasn't exactly zipping across the water so the crowd waited ... and waited ... and waited ... and waited for the boat to dock.
This had the effect of silencing the crowd. But finally, the ship reached the portwalk and a group of hand-picked loyal fans carried the banner through the right field arches into center field. Bochy and six other Giants — Angel Pagan, Sergio Romo, Hunter Pence, Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain and Ryan Vogelsong — took the banner. They walked up some temporary steps into the center field stands, through rows of fans, toward the flagpole.
"There were lots of high fives, lost of grabbing, lots of cheering and yelling," Romo said. "You know, they wanted to be a part of it. But I was really happy to be asked to do that. I felt like a little kid again. It was pretty sweet."
Once atop the concourse, the players' delegation clipped the flag to the flagpole halyard and took turns pulling the ropes to raise the banner. Romo, as the closer, took care of the last few feet. Apparently, the idea was to spread the celebration among as many players as possible, which is why Scutaro and Sandoval threw the first pitches and others took care of the banner. Buster Posey did neither, although he will be honored with more specific hoo-hah Saturday when he's presented his National League MVP award.
Posey does not strike me as a real hoo-hah kind of guy. But he seems cool with this weekend's folderol.
"I think you try to enjoy it as much as you can," Posey said, "because you don't know how many times you are ever going to experience something like that. I mean, in San Francisco we've seen a lot of great players come through here and not win a World Series."
Once the banner was flying, though, the day's best moment finally arrived. Pageantry is fine and all. But the best show at the ballpark is still a baseball hanging in the air with no one sure what to expect next. At 1:36 p.m., Giants pitcher Barry Zito took the mound. Cardinals' leadoff hitter Jon Jay stepped into the batters' box. And baseball happened. Bochy was happy to see that, too. The elaborate ceremonies had forced him to walk back and forth across the outfield twice on his bum wheels.
"I've got to go ice my knee," Bochy joked.
He's got a full year to rehab for another trophy stroll.

He argued all residents should be billed at the same rate until meters were installed townwide. The town board did not comply with the request and noted that meters would be in place for the entire town by 1973.
New fire hydrants were being installed around Eagle, requiring periodic shutdowns of the town's water system.
The Valley View Hospital Auxiliary was asking for meat donations for the annual Wild Game Community benefit dinner.
The movie "Ben," which featured a title song by Michael Jackson, was the featured presentation at the Eagle Theater.

"Old timers will find it hard to grasp what is happening on Gore Pass. The late Charley Vail, for whom Vail Pass was named, could not have dreamed what is now happening up that way. Local residents are watching history in a fast moving manner. We are seeing a whole new, beautiful town materialize before our eyes," wrote Enterprise editor Marilla McCain in her Around Town column.
"Burglars breaking into Carter's Clothing Store in Minturn recently should have been real chagrined when they counted their loot. A cash register valued at around $200 was carried out of the store, but it contained less than 50 cents," the Enterprise reported. After a car chase where speeds hit 110 mph, the thieves were nabbed at a road block in Glenwood Canyon.
"County Commissioner Vince Eichler is hobbling around on crutches this week, nursing an injured foot. The injury occurred when his horse slipped on wet pavement and rolled with the rider," reported the Enterprise.
A group spearheaded by Postmaster Beth Byers was planning a grand opening celebration for the new Post Office in downtown Eagle.

Unusually dry conditions were prevalent across the state and especially in the Colorado high country. "A forest and grass fire in the Gore Creek district north of Minturn last week burned over 10 to 15 acres of grass and forest land. Cause of the fire has been attributed to a carelessly tossed cigarette," the Enterprise reported.
Ranger Fred Cook of Minturn reported that a moose had been sighted in the Holy Cross area.
The Colorado Game and Fish Department reported there were 300,000 head of deer in Colorado and 85,000 licensed hunters in the state. "Methinks the department had their statistics turned around - there must be 300,000 head of hunters and a third of them are in Eagle County right now," wrote McCain.
Local rancher Chester Mayer took out a special ad with the following announcement: "The road through the Mayer Ranch will be closed this hunting season. This is necessary as I have the road to maintain myself and the attitude of some of the deer hunters has caused me to make this move."

Eagle County residents purchased $29,750 worth of war bonds, nearly double the county quota of $15,750. "The citizens of this county have always responded in a gratifying manner whenever an emergency strikes," reported the Enterprise.
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Foster of Sheephorn reported receiving a letter from their son, Walter, who was stationed in Australia. Walter said that he had just enjoyed a visit from his brother, Bill, who was also serving in the Army. "That they should meet in that county and find out that they were both in good health was pleasant news for the Forester family."
Average attendance at Eagle County High was up to 59, twice as many as the previous week. "However this is still only two-thirds of the total high school enrollment. Everyone is expected to be back by next week. The students are returning to school immediately after finishing their harvesting jobs."

Sweeping Changes For Professional Legal Guardians Come With 2011 Court Order
Published: Sunday, February 3, 2013 at 1:32 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 3, 2013 at 1:32 a.m.
Faced with what he described as a variety of problems, a judge in the Orlando-based 9th Judicial Circuit instituted sweeping, strict regulations for the way professional legal guardians do business in the circuit.
After hearing a variety of complaints from family members of wards, Chief Judge Blevin Perry Jr. of the 9th Judicial Circuit, issued new rules governing professional guardians. The state guardians' association is currently appealing those to the Florida Supreme Court. Perry wrote that the changes were needed because "After investigation, it was clear many of the grievances were valid." According to court records, those Perry identified as problems included:
■ Professional guardians beginning a case billing at the rate of $60 or $65 per hour and giving themselves raises to as much as $75 per hour without giving a reasonable explanation for the increase.
■ Professional guardians paying themselves as much as $24,000 from the ward's assets prior to receiving court approval.
■ Professional guardians completing activities such as shopping or visiting at a facility, for the benefit of more than one wards, but billing each ward for the entire time spent, rather than dividing it amongst the wards.
■ Professional guardians barring the ward from receiving any visitors, telephone calls or making calls to/from family members and friends.
■ Billing wards for taking them to lunch or the movies or giving birthday parties.
Source: Supreme Court of Florida filing
Chief Judge Belvin Perry Jr. instituted the changes in an October 2011 court order.
The Florida State Guardianship Association objected before the order was finalized, and Perry subsequently wrote a response with his justification.
"The court has received numerous complaints from family members of the wards, and it appears, after investigation of many matters, those grievances are valid," Perry wrote. He said the court had "multiple causes for concern that are very disturbing," including guardians shielding their wards from visitors.
The association has appealed Perry's order to the Florida Supreme Court, and the decision is pending.
At the heart of the dispute is the 22-point order Perry issued. It includes establishing a rate of $64 per hour for guardianship work.
The rules apply only in the 9th Judicial Circuit, headquartered in Orlando. Polk County is in the 10th Judicial Circuit, which doesn't have the same kinds of restrictions.
Several items Perry addressed as problems in his filings were things done in the case of a Lakeland woman and her guardian in Polk County. (See related story.)
Among those were:
Perry's order allows no more than three hours to be billed before a judge establishes guardianship. Bartow Guardian Christine Miller billed for nearly 20 hours of work done before a judge made her guardian for 95-year-old Marge Graney. Miller learned of Graney on July 9, 2009, and two weeks later Graney was officially declared Miller's ward. Miller billed for 19.46 hours at $60 per hour, or $1,168, for work done in that interim. Money to pay the guardian came from Graney's account.
Perry's order forbids professional guardians from charging more than one hour per month for paying their wards' bills. Miller repeatedly charged Graney more.
Guardians in the 9th Circuit are paid $64 per hour, $9 per hour less than the $75 Miller was paid for the last portion of her guardianship of Graney.
The guardian association has a variety of complaints about Perry's rules.
In correspondence with Perry before the judge issued his order, Sylvia Winter, then president of the guardianship association, said the rules are a hardship for professional guardians.
"We are also concerned about the impact of the provisions on the guardian's ability to continue a viable enterprise," Winter wrote. "As a group, the limitations on what may be charged and when fees will be paid seem to make continuing practice as a guardian impossible."
The Bartow-based 10th Circuit has not revamped its rules for guardians since 1990, when then Circuit Judge Oliver L. Green Jr. signed an order doing so.
"You have to have a guardian to manage the affairs of somebody who is incapacitated, either a professional guardian or a family member," Green said in a recent interview.
It's time for the guardianship rules in the 10th Circuit to be updated, Green said.
"I think we can do better."

In the early days of Sweet Basil, the spinach enchiladas and the Monte Cristo sandwich were some of the most ordered items on the restaurant's menu.
"It was the trademark sandwich back in the day," said Sweet Basil co-owner Matt Morgan. "That said, as much as some people recognized that, that's not how we're cooking now, so we decided to eliminate those."
Instead, within the pages of Sweet Basil's just-released cookbook, you'll find classics like "Saffron Angel Hair Pasta" and "Hot Sticky Toffee Pudding" (a recipe that some people will buy the book just to get their sugar-craving hands on) and more recent favorites like Colorado lamb T-bone and herb-crusted Rocky Mountain trout.
"We got to brainstorm and got out menus from the last 15 years," Morgan said about how he and Basil's Executive Chef Paul Anders narrowed down the recipes to just over 50 included in the book. "It was difficult to narrow it down, but fun to look back and say 'Oh, I remember that one, it was a favorite,' or 'I loved that dish.' We tried to spread the recipes out across the years," Morgan said.
"Our goal was to select dishes that resonate with guests," Anders agreed.
One fan favorite that Anders was sure to include was the shrimp and calamari, which has been on the menu for 10 years.
"We've included the original recipe for the shrimp and calamari that was developed before I even worked for the restaurant," Anders said. "I changed the recipe a few years ago, and it was noticed - not in a good way. There are some classics that people have come to love, and some things don't need changing. For our guests, the shrimp and calamari was one of those classics not to be toyed with."
Over the years, Morgan and co-owner Kevin Clair have received many requests for recipes.
"We thought creating a cookbook was a great way to celebrate our 35th anniversary," Morgan said. "Although we focus on where Sweet Basil is now, we acknowledge where the restaurant has been, as well. People will see recipes for old favorites, as well as new dishes, featured in the cookbook. We like to think it's the best of both past and present."
While some of the recipes are easily executed by the home cook, some are a bit more challenging, Morgan said, and might be better attempted by "a home cook who is a foodie."
Along with selecting popular, mostly accessible dishes, the next challenge came when it was time to scale back the size of the recipes - from enough to feed a restaurant to enough to feed the family.
"The challenge was scaling them back to a size that works for cooking at home," Anders said.
Chef Anders worked tirelessly to replicate recipes on a smaller scale to ensure that what was produced in the restaurant was approachable and could be reproduced at home. All recipes have been scaled back to serve eight to 12 people.
Along with the recipes, the cookbook provides a glimpse into how a particular dish was born. Take the Vietnamese shrimp spring rolls, which Sweet Basil was kind enough to share the recipe for with this story.
"This Sweet Basil version of the mainstay Asian appetizer stems from an research and development trip to San Francisco, where chef Paul Anders got to sample the spring rolls at the famous Slanted Door restaurant," the text with the recipe explains. "The experience inspired him to come up with something on par, and the Vietnamese Shrimp Spring Rolls are the result. The flavor combination of asparagus, mint, mango, and papaya was conceived for one effect: Fresh, vibrant flavor."

Hi all,
For some reason, I'm suddenly unable to play any content streamed from PMS to my PS3. I had PMS running as a service on my computer (running Windows 8 64-bit), and it was working yesterday (albeit somewhat glitchy - video kept freezing as though it was buffering despite being on a gigabit ethernet network). Today, I can access the server but can't watch anything at all. Everything returns this error: 'This content cannot be played (8002288E1)'.
I've tried running PMS normally (not as a service), and restarted PMS, my computer, the service, and my PS3. I've also updated PMS to the latest version, still nothing. My PS3 is also updated to the latest firmware.

'The Good Wife,' Season 4, Episode 13, 'The Seven Day Rule': TV Recap
How many episodes has Alicia journeyed through without ever cracking a smile? Well, she's beaming now, absolutely giddy in "The Seven Day Rule"—until reality bites. Diane and Will are offering her the chance to be an equity partner in the firm—a surprising honor for a fourth year associate.
But first, Mrs. Florrick sits with Kalinda in a conference room, waiting for family law head David Lee to show up; Deena Lambert and her father need a second opinion on a prenup she's been asked to sign. And what a prenup it should be, since the groom is Neil Gross, president of web giant Chum Hum and the ninth richest man in America (also, you'll recall, Will's archenemy).
Oozing false concern ("that's why we're here…to protect you"), Lee sees big bucks ahead. "We do right by her," he says, gloating to Diane, "we get the business….her business… some kind of Bill and Melinda Gates charity. She'll bring it here." And that prospect should help Lockhart, Gardner's bottom line. Right now, they're only half way toward earning the $60 million they owe, and they've been ordered to court to prove they're making progress.
When Lee departs, Will and Diane make that partnership offer to Alicia with some coy advice about how she should go out and treat herself—and take until the end of the week to decide.
In court, Lockhart, Gardner asks for a five-month extension to pay their debt just as the guy who holds the debt, Lou Canning, comes stammering and staggering forward, in full "voice of the handicapped" exploitation. He suggests he just wants the money to help physically challenged children. Judge Chase falls for it; worse, it appears that Canning and mediator Clarke Hayden are working together against the firm.
At Peter's campaign headquarters, new consultant Jordan shows Eli a tape of Florrick foe Maddie Hayward standing during a prayer without bowing her head. When smiley face Alicia drops in, she tells Eli that Maddie's an atheist.
The first sign that the fun's about to stop for Alicia comes when David Lee shows up to explain that a $600,000 capital contribution is required of all partners. She immediately rushes to return several bags of newly purchased clothes. (Speaking of clothes…Diane's and Alicia's wardrobes are even more dazzling this episode. Check out Alicia's pearl gray suit, clingy red sheath, champagne cocktail dress, black fur-trimmed coat—and Diane's killer orange jacket. Put 'em on eBay and they could really pare down that corporate debt.)
Kalinda is in Will's office insisting on the promotion and raise she was promised when Gross barges in all pissed off about the firm messing around with his prenup. OK, Will tells Kalinda, you got it—just keep an eye on this guy.
Lee fights with Gross' lawyers to make the prenup valid in California—and that means getting it ironed out pronto. The wedding is in nine days and, according to California's seven day rule, both parties must have the agreement in hand seven days before the ceremony.
But soon enough, Deena says, "Forget it. We're never going to get a divorce." Tired of the squabbling, she'll go with Texas law.
Not so fast. Privately, Lee asks Kalinda to dig up some dirt on Gross to sway him to sign in his bride's favor.
On the bankruptcy stand, the guy who funded Canning's trust to purchase the law firm's debt reveals he's angry about the costly law suits Lockhart, Gardner brings against him. Canning, meanwhile, noisily struggles to open a bottle and take his pills.
Alicia visits Peter, who has cosigned her mortgage, to ask him to let her borrow against her apartment for the $300,000 down payment on her partner fee. He says no, he'll just lend her the money—consider it an investment.
Deena again puts a damper on David Lee's plans when she announces that she and Gross want to "put this stuff behind us. I won't let money guide me. Please shut it down, Mr. Lee."
Not going to happen. Instead, Lee sneakily meets with Gross' lawyers and asks for all kinds of non-financial demands, including date nights and the promise that any children will be raised Christian.
"Deal breaker," says the groom's attorney. "Mr. Gross is Jewish."
Lee, blaming all on Gross' lawyer, then presents a bunch of fake demands from the groom to Deena. This riles her up enough to instruct Lee to "push back. Push back hard."
In passing, Lee congratulates Cary on his equity partnership offer. This really throws Alicia—Cary just returned to the firm!
So it's a very grim Mrs. Florrick who now meets with Diane. Ms. Lockhart wants to know why Alicia has been subpoenaed to testify in the debt hearing. Does it have anything to do with that recent West Nile case she settled? There has been a suggestion that the firm pushed to settle so that they could get paid.
Back at the campaign, Jordan and Eli continue to press Alicia for her religious views. "Voters hate atheists," Gold tells her. "They think they spend all their time fighting mangers outside City Hall." He needs her to be "St. Alicia. It's a selling point for Peter."
"OK," Alicia murmurs, "so Diane and Will negotiated in good faith, Cary is as deserving as I am, and God might exist. I'm good." Eli has no idea what she's talking about but he likes the God part.
The prenup negotiations have gotten so heated that both Gross and Deena decide to call off the marriage. Lee dispatches Cary to talk their client down.
Lou Canning grills Alicia on the stand, first about whether the firm pressures clients to settle, then, "Are you aware of any schemes by your firm to reduce its debt?…You were recently offered a partnership—how much would it cost you?" The bombshell comes when Canning notes how odd it is that five fourth-year associates were offered partnerships this week. "Oh, I'm sorry," he says. "You were unaware…"
When Will pulls out a chair for her, Alicia turns and leaves the court room.
She arrives, still steaming, at an Illinois women's leadership event and starts chugging vino. When Peter stops her from verbally assaulting Maddie, Alicia whispers that she'd like to get him in the bathroom. But a reporter interrupts to ask Haywood about her religion; she openly admits that she's an atheist. Peter answers that he found Jesus in prison, and Alicia—"I'm an atheist," she says, stunning Eli.
Clarke Hayden is up at the firm, hesitating by the elevator, when Cary approaches to apologize for "testifying the way I did in the bankruptcy hearing."
"Why? It was the truth," Hayden says, turning down the hall to tell Will and Diane that he too has been called to testify by Canning in the debt matter.
It's down to the wire with the prenup when Lee asks Deena and her father to step out. Cary shows Gross that he's found an odd recurring expense in the billionaire's records, a joint venture with one beneficiary—the four-year-old son of a woman with whom he'd had a one-night stand.
"Extortion? Not even you would sink that low," Gross' lawyer sneers, glaring at Lee.
"Sure I would," he says.
And it works. "Give 'em what they want," Gross orders. (Ah, sighs Lee, "Isn't it sweet? Young love.")
In court, Canning's about to get his comeuppance as he grills Hayden, characterizing the firm's offer to associates of employment in return for money as "a pyramid scheme." Well, kind of, says Clarke, "but the other day you offered me employment in exchange for continued help in these proceedings."
Artfully echoing Cary's testimony at the previous hearing, Hayden says that Canning "intimated that there would be a job at his law firm when these proceedings were over…He requested detailed information about cases."
So, thanks to the always elusive Hayden, the firm gets another reprieve and the partners are partying hard—as Alicia stays in her office, sulking. Lou Canning drops by (how?? Where's Security?) to offer her a "get out of jail free card"—his card.
But Diane shows up with some tough love. "You're pouting," she says. "It's unbecoming." And how did Alicia think Diane made it to the top of the letterhead? Wacky firm founder "Jonas Stern was sued for sexual harassment," Diane says. "He needed to show that he had a female partner." So get over it, Alicia: "When the door that you've been knocking at finally swings open, you don't ask why. You run through." Right now, "Put on your best gracious voice and come in ready to thank the partners for this opportunity, because what is given can quickly be taken away."
We end with Alicia doing just that, making the rounds and promising, "I won't disappoint you."

I have a set of .flac files from a mono vinyl rip that play perfectly on my pc through foobar. When I play them through PS3MS, the song title displays the correct length below the title EXAMPLE DISPLAY {title.flac, (MPlayer Audio) 3:09, PCM), , but when actually playing the files they stop playing at the 1:20 to 1:39 point in the song. The odd thing is that the new truncated incorrect time is also what shows up on the progress bar (select button) during the song. So something is happening that makes the title display the time properly, but actually playing it recalculates the song length short, displays it that way and stops play at that point. This does not happen with all .flac files, just those from this set of vinyl rips. Any ideas?

MARIETTA - A sea of pigtails and pink hair bows stole the show as the annual pee-wee cheerleading night took over Marietta High School's Friday football game, which coincided with breast cancer awareness night.
"Hey, mom. I'm a cheerleader," yelled 6-year-old Graci Goss to her mother from the sidelines.
Decked out with pink streaks in her hair, Goss was raring to go for her big Friday debut.

Bailey Saliba, left, and other cheerleaders talk about their favorite cheers before Friday night's pee-wee cheerleading event.
"They are all so excited," said cheerleading coach Ashely Bonnette.
Around 60 girls in grades kindergarten through fifth grade participated in Friday's event, which gave them a chance to cheer alongside Marietta High School's cheerleaders.
"I get to walk around the field with the big cheerleaders," said 6-year-old Maddy Carpenter.
Carpenter and pal Emma Middleton, 6, squealed with delight as they held hands with the varsity cheerleaders, and cheered Marietta High School's football team onto the field. Carpenter and Middleton said they were most looking forward to doing the Tiger Rumble.
The Tiger Rumble was one of 10 cheers the girls learned during a Sept. 22 mini cheer camp. During the three-hour camp, the girls worked with Marietta High and Middle school cheerleaders to learn cheers and a dance for Friday's game, said cheerleading coach Andrea Eichhorn.
"(Kindergarten) through second (grade) gets to cheer the first quarter. Third through fifth will cheer during the second quarter. And seventh and eighth will cheer in the third quarter," she said.
Learning from the high school cheerleaders was the best part of the experience for fifth grade Washington Elementary student Haleigh Seevers, she said.
"It was awesome learning the dance and learning the cheers. A lot of the cheers we didn't know," said Seevers. But the elementary girls were not the only ones who got a kick out of the experience.
"It was a blast. I love little kids," gushed MHS varsity cheerleader Brieanna Fought about teaching the girls at cheer camp.
"They like to be leaders and they like all the little girls looking up to them," said Bonnette of the student instructors.
Reigning in the raucous group was a bit of challenge.
"They are pretty hyper," said freshman cheerleading coach Stacy Reynolds, whose fourth-grade daughter cheered alongside the high school squad during the second quarter.
But hyper is not necessarily bad when it comes to cheerleaders.
"They have lots of spirit. It just comes naturally at that age," said seventh grade cheerleading coach Megan Gault.
In fact, all the high school cheerleaders and cheer coaches agreed on one thing.
"It looks like we have a lot of great potential cheerleaders," said Gault.
Varsity cheerleader Gracey Bailey said she was a little surprised by how well the girls took to the cheers.
"They are actually really good. They are better on timing than I thought they'd be," she said.
As the varsity cheerleaders announced the Tiger Rumble, an excited chatter broke out on the sidelines.
"Everybody do the Tiger Rumble," yelled Carpenter, and the pee-wee cheerleaders rumbled their hearts out.

Gay rights case has Alabama grad in Supreme Court

Tuscaloosa has more than a passing role in the battle over gay marriage unfolding this week before the U.S. Supreme Court.
For it was in Tuscaloosa that the legal thinking of one of the men defending traditional marriage first developed.
Charles J. Cooper, the Washington attorney who argued in favor of California's ban on gay marriage before the high court on Tuesday, earned his law degree from the University of Alabama.
Cooper, the chairman and a founding member of the Washington, D.C., law firm of Cooper & Kirk PLLC, graduated from UA's School of Law in 1977.
According to his biography on the law firm's website, he was editor in chief of the Alabama Law Review while at UA and graduated first in his law school class.
Cooper, who was born in Dayton, Ohio, also earned his undergraduate degree with honors from UA's business school in 1974. He remains a member of the Alabama Bar as well as the District of Columbia Bar, according to his office.
Cooper, 61, could not be reached for comment on Wednesday.
The New York Times described Cooper in a news article on Wednesday as a more traditional conservative who is an originalist who argues the letter of the law and the original meaning of the Constitution.
The Times said Cooper's colleagues describe him as a meticulous and cautious lawyer with a formal style.
After graduating from law school, Cooper became a law clerk for a federal appeals court judge. In 1978, he became a law clerk for William Rehnquist, then a U.S. Supreme Court associate justice.
Rehnquist later became chief justice and in 1998, as chief justice, he appointed Cooper, who was then in private practice, to the Standing Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure of the Judicial Conference of the United States.
Cooper joined the U.S. Justice Department's Civil Rights Division in 1981, and in 1985, President Ronald Reagan appointed him assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Counsel. While in that post, he testified before Congress in the Iran-Contra investigation.
After leaving the Justice Department in 1988, Cooper became a private practice attorney and was a partner in two law firms in Washington before founding Cooper & Kirk in 1996.
Cooper has argued other cases before the U.S. Supreme Court and has been involved in other high-profile cases.
He represented Duke University lacrosse players falsely accused of rape and their teammates in a lawsuit against Duke and the city of Durham, N.C.
In 2003, Associated Press reports showed Cooper as one of the lawyers representing the State of Alabama in a civil lawsuit against Exxon Mobil. Alabama accused the energy company of underpaying the state royalties from natural gas wells the company drilled in state waters.
A Montgomery jury returned a verdict awarding the state $102.8 million in compensatory damages and $11.8 billion in punitive damages. The judge reduced the punitive damages to $3.5 billion, which then was one of the largest civil awards ever. In 2007, however, the Alabama Supreme Court reduced the total award to $51.9 million.
