Is there a way, perhaps via a filter in functions.php, to limit a user metadata term to users of a specific role or roles?
If not, I think this would be a good feature to add. My particular use case is that I want to add an assigned editor metadata term and limit the users in the drop down to just those with the Editor role.

Armory Show of 1913
- This was the first large exhibition
of modern art
in America. It was held in the 69th Regiment Armory building
in New York City in 1913. Although the show was soundly criticized
by the public and the press, it had a great impact on American
artists who were influenced
by the works of modern European artists. Its major organizers
were American painters Walt Kuhn (1877-1949) and Arthur B. Davies
(1862-1928), along with the painter-critic Walter Pach. Among
the art exhibited were examples of Symbolism,
Impressionism, Post-Impressionism,
and Cubism, along with works
by numerous American artists, including members of the
Ten, the
Eight, Marsden Hartley, Charles Sheeler, Among those artists
whose work was seen in the US for the first time were Wassily
Kandinsky (Russian, 1866-1944), Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973),
and Marcel Duchamp (French, 1887-1968).
The following works were among those exhibited in the Armory Show of 1913:
Pierre Puvis de Chavannes (French, 1824-1898), Beheading of St. John the Baptist (La Décollation de St. Jean Baptiste), 1869, oil on canvas, about 48 x 64 inches, Barber Institute of Fine Arts, Birmingham, England. See Symbolism.
Paul Cézanne (French, 1839-1906), View of the Domain Saint-Joseph (La Colline des pauvres), c. 1877, oil on canvas, 25 5/8 x 32 inches, Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY. The Metropolitan Museum of Art purchased this painting from the Parisian art dealer Ambroise Vollard during the Armory Show. See Post-Impressionism.
Odilon Redon (French, 1840-1916), Roger and Angelica, c. 1910, pastel on paper, 36 1/2 x 28 3/4 inches, Museum of Modern Art, NY. See Symbolism.
Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853-1890), Olive Orchard, oil on canvas, 28 5/8 x 36 1/4 inches (72.7 x 92.1 cm), Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY.
Maurice Brazil Prendergast (American, born Newfoundland, 1859-1924), Crepuscule, c. 1912, oil on canvas, 20 1/2 x 28 inches, private collection. See the Eight.
Edvard Munch (Norwegian, 1863-1944), Madonna, 1895-1902, lithograph and woodcut, complete: 23 3/4 x 17 1/2 inches (60.5 x 44.5 cm), edition: c. 250, Museum of Modern Art, NY. This was exhibited in the influential Armory Show of 1913. See Expressionism, madonna, and Symbolism.
Henri Matisse (French, 1869-1954), The Young Sailor, II (Jeune Marin), 1906, oil on canvas, 39 3/8 x 31 7/8 inches, Gelman collection, Mexico City. See Fauvism.
Henri Matisse, The Blue Nude (Souvenir de Biskra), 1907, oil, 36 1/4 x 55 1/8 inches, Baltimore Museum of Art, MD.
Henri Matisse, The Red Madras Headress (Mme Matisse: Madras Rouge), summer 1907, oil on canvas, 39 1/8 x 31 3/4 inches (99.4 x 80.5 cm), Barnes Foundation, Merion, PA.
Henri Matisse, Red Studio (Panneau rouge), 1911, oil on canvas, 71 1/4 x 86 1/4 inches, Museum of Modern Art, NY.
Henri Matisse, Nasturtiums with the Painting "Dance II", 1912, oil on canvas, 75 1/2 x 45 3/8 inches (191.8 x 115.3 cm), Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY. See dance.
John Sloan (American , 1871-1951), Night Windows, 1910, etching, 5 1/4 x 7 inches. See the Eight.
Constantin Brancusi (French, born Romania, 1876-1957), The Muse, 1912, marble, 17 3/4 x 9 x 6 3/4 inches, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, NY.
Francis Picabia (French, 1879-1953), The Procession, Seville (La Procession, Seville), 1912, oil on canvas, 48 x 48 inches, private collection. This painting was exhibited in the Armory Show of 1913.
Pablo Picasso (born Pablo Ruiz-Picasso) (Spanish, 1881-1973), Head of a Woman (Fernande Olivier), 1909, bronze, height 16 1/4 inches. This was Picasso's first attempt to create three-dimensionally what he had developed two-dimensionally with cubism. As H. H. Arnason said, although it is therefore "historically of the greatest significance as the first step toward an entirely new kind of sculpture -- that of construction or assemblage — at this point Picasso had not yet realized the implications of cubism for sculpture."
Wassily Kandinsky (Russian, 1886-1944), Improvisation No. 27 (Garden of Love), 1912, oil on canvas, 47 3/8 x 55 1/4 inches, Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY.
Marcel Duchamp (French, 1887-1968), Nude Descending a Staircase, 1911-1912, oil on canvas, 58 x 35 inches, Philadelphia Museum of Art, PA — the most controversial work in the Armory Show. It is an example of what is called Cubo-Futurism because it shows the influences of both Cubism and Futurism. See Dada.
Also see abstraction, The Eight, Intimisme, salon, and The Ten.

Below is a list of some of the cases the firm has handled, not a complete list, and is not a guaranty of future results.
Doe Corporation v. Roe Corporation
$12 Million
Klein & Wilson represented a staffing company seeking a $6 million of damages from a hospital. As a result of discovery efforts, Klein & Wilson was able to prove breach of contract and also developed substantial evidence of fraud. After the court initially denied Klein & Wilson's request for a writ of attachment, Klein & Wilson presented newly discovered evidence and convinced the court to reverse its ruling and issue a writ of attachment. Immediately before trial, the hospital offered to pay Klein & Wilson's client approximately $6 million. The client rejected that offer given the strength of the fraud case Klein & Wilson developed. Klein & Wilson resolved the case on the first day of trial with the client recovering $6 million of damages, reimbursement of all the client's attorneys' fees, and the hospital was required to award the client a new contract valued at an additional $6 million.
Doe Corporation v. Roe Corporation (Case Confidential)
Klein & Wilson represented a golf club against a uniform and linen service in a binding arbitration. These services are notorious for compelling their customers to sign onerous contracts with hidden terms and then collecting unfair liquidated damages if the customer breaches. Klein & Wilson prevailed at arbitration in a case where the linen service claimed damages and attorneys' fees. The firm convinced the arbitrator the contract was unconscionable, unenforceable, and the vendor forged a critical piece of evidence.
Venture Communications v. Falcon Communications
$26 million
In 1992, Mr. Klein represented a limited partner in a cable franchise, alleging a variety of causes of action, including breach of fiduciary duty and fraud. Mr. Klein prevailed at trial and, after a court awarded judgment in favor of Mr. Klein's client, Mr. Klein's client received $26 million by way of settlement.
ReadyLink HealthCare v. Lewis, Brisbois, Bisgaard & Smith, LLP
$9 Million
The defendant law firm charged its client almost $5 million in legal fees while handling four very sophisticated trade secrets and business cases. None of the four cases went well for the client, despite paying millions of dollars of attorneys' fees. The client hired Klein & Wilson to handle the malpractice case against their former counsel, one of the largest law firms in the United States. After a two month long jury trial, the jury awarded Klein & Wilson's client every penny it requested on its breach of contract and malpractice claims and awarded the defendant law firm nothing on its cross-claims. The case drew significant attention from the California legal community, and the Los Angeles Daily Journal ran a front-page story about this case. Lewis Brisbois Ordered to Pay $6 Million for Overbilling, Mishandling Four Cases.
Affinitec v. Siemens
$5.7 million
In May 1999, Klein & Wilson won a verdict of approximately $5 million on behalf of one of its software clients against Siemens Business Communications, Inc., one of the largest companies in the world. Affinitec prevailed on all of its breach of contract claims and recovered 99 percent (99%) of all the damages it requested from the jury. Siemens filed a cross-complaint against Klein & Wilson's client, but recovered nothing.
Does Corporation v. Roes
$3 million
Klein & Wilson represented a company which hired design professionals and a general contractor to construct a sales facility in Central California. The designers and contractors made a number of errors, resulting in construction defects. Because of insurance coverage issues, the defendants' insurance carriers refused to settle until Klein & Wilson took approximately 50 depositions and proved that each defendant had serious exposure. After several mediations, Klein & Wilson recovered $3 million for its client - enough money for the client to make the necessary repairs to its facility.
CD Listening Bar, Inc. v. Doe Major Accounting Firm
$2 million
Klein & Wilson's client in this matter was one of the largest distributors of compact disc products in the United States. As the result of rapid growth, the client needed to replace its existing accounting software package with a higher end package while remaining in operation. It retained a major accounting firm to do the work. The job was done poorly and Klein & Wilson's client lost millions of dollars. The difficulty in the case was proving the precise amount of damages. The case ultimately settled for $2 million.
STM Wireless, Inc. v. AmeriData, a Subsidiary of General Electric
$2 million
Klein & Wilson represented a public company in a complicated breach of contract action against a much larger corporation. Two weeks before trial, Klein & Wilson shared its mock trial results with the opposing side, and the parties reached a settlement worth more than $2 million.
STM Wireless, Inc. v. Gilat
$1.75 million
Klein & Wilson represented a public satellite communications company in a dispute with a competitor over a contract in Peru. The client won the contract, but alleged the competitor had stolen the contract using improper influence with Peruvian government ministers. When Klein & Wilson filed a suit on behalf of the client, the competitor's attorneys referred to the case as frivolous. As a result of Klein & Wilson's efforts, even the United States Congress became interested in the case and began its own inquiry. Ultimately, the competitor settled the case for $1.75 million.
Devore v. Massachusetts Casualty Insurance Company
$1.5 million
In this case, Klein & Wilson represented a dentist who could no longer practice dentistry because he suffered from chronic daily migraine headaches. The disability carrier refused to pay insurance proceeds on the ground the dentist had made misrepresentations in his application and because it challenged the extent of the dentist's disability. After Klein & Wilson received a plaintiff's verdict, the case settled for $1.5 million.
Next Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Stauber Performance Ingredients, Inc.
$1.5 million
In this case, Klein & Wilson represented a nutritional supplements firm who sold $750,000 of nutritional supplements to defendant. Defendant alleged the product was defective and refused to pay. After Klein & Wilson filed a complaint, defendant filed a cross-complaint, alleging a variety of wrongful conduct by Klein & Wilson's client. After working up the case and attending a mediation where Klein & Wilson put on a multimedia trial presentation, defendant agreed to settle the case in an imaginative settlement which was worth almost $1.5 million to the client. This settlement would not have been possible had Klein & Wilson not done extensive briefing and put on a multimedia trial presentation at the mediation.
Vera Townhomes Homeowners' Association v. Vera Townhomes
$1.5 million
In a construction defect case, Klein & Wilson represented a homeowners' association consisting of 48 condominium units. The developers and contractors denied there were construction defects and refused to pay anything. After conducting a "show-and-tell" presentation of the defects at the project and inviting all the defendants to destructive testing, the defendants recognized they would be found liable and paid Klein & Wilson's client approximately $1.5 million.
Guild, Inc. v. J.C. Penney
$1.4 million
In 2004, Klein & Wilson won a verdict of $1.4 million in a breach of implied contract and copyright infringement case against one of the largest retailers in the United States. The jury awarded every penny Klein & Wilson requested. The Court commented that Klein & Wilson's multimedia trial presentation was the best it had ever seen.
Project FasTags, Inc. v. Fascenelli
$1 million
Klein & Wilson represented one of two partners in the breakup of a lucrative partnership. In addition to various breach of fiduciary duty claims, Klein & Wilson represented the client in claims of copyright and trademark violation. Klein & Wilson was able to achieve a settlement resulting in a payment to its client of just over $1 million. In addition, the client retained control of the business.
Doe Corporation v. Roe Corporation (Case Confidential)
$1 million
Klein & Wilson's client hired Texas counsel to try a breach of contract case. In the middle of trial, the attorney-client relationship deteriorated. In an unusual set of circumstances, the parties' attorneys signed a letter of intent regarding settlement terms, but the case was dismissed before the parties signed a formal settlement agreement. When the defendant refused to honor the settlement terms, the client hired new Texas counsel who tried to get the case reinstated. After eight months of being in limbo, the client asked Klein & Wilson to see what it could do. Klein & Wilson resolved the case with the defendant paying Klein & Wilson's client $1 million.
Doe Corporation v. Roe Corporation
Klein & Wilson represented a company which sold its medical billing assets in exchange for cash and a promissory note. When the buyer defaulted on the promissory note, Klein & Wilson filed an action against the buyer. The buyer filed a cross-complaint alleging 17 causes of action, pursued an aggressive discovery campaign, and designated multiple experts to try and prove the seller engaged in an international tax fraud conspiracy, which would somehow relieve the buyer from making payments on the promissory note.
The buyer demanded $2.4 million to settle the cross-complaint against Klein & Wilson's client. Before trial, the parties filed multiple motions in limine. Klein & Wilson won every substantive motion and persuaded the court to exclude defendants' experts. The court held a separate trial on the equitable issues the case presented, and Klein & Wilson prevailed. Klein & Wilson then persuaded the court to force defendants to present an offer of proof on the cross-complaint. After the court dismissed the first seven causes of action, the case settled in a favorable manner to Klein & Wilson's client.
Doe Client v. Shari Sullivant
Klein & Wilson represented a client who entered into a promissory note with defendant, which provided for a substantial penalty if payments were not made timely. The client claimed defendant owed $665,000, plus interest. Defendant failed to make timely payments and alleged she was excused from doing so, because the note was usurious. Klein & Wilson persuaded defendant that the note was not usurious and negotiated a stipulation of entry of judgment. Defendant failed to comply with the stipulation; accordingly, Klein & Wilson obtained a judgment against defendant for approximately $827,000.
Doe Corporation v. Roe Insurance Corporation (Case Confidential)
Klein & Wilson recovered $715,000 for a client whose insurers refused to defend it for a covered claim, requiring the client to defend itself. This settlement represented 95 percent of the client's claim for unpaid defense costs.
Paritcher Khadem-Missagh v. Haroonian
In 2000, Klein & Wilson represented a man who lent money to carpet salesmen in Beverly Hills. The carpet salesmen refused to pay the money back. Klein & Wilson obtained summary judgment as to two of the defendants and judgment on the pleadings as to the remaining defendants, resulting in judgments totaling $700,000.
Does v. Roe Corporation (Case Confidential)
Klein & Wilson represented tenants who subleased their space to a corporation. Former counsel structured the deal in such a way that Klein & Wilson's clients made no money on the sublease, but remained liable to the landlord should the subtenant fail to make lease payments. Klein & Wilson filed an action against the subtenant, seeking a declaration of how to interpret the lease. At the same time, Klein & Wilson indicated there was a possibility its clients would evict the subtenants, under a provision which gave the clients a unilateral right to re-occupy the property. The case settled when the subtenant agreed to pay Klein & Wilson's clients $645,000 in exchange for their waiver of their right to re-occupy the property. Accordingly, Klein & Wilson turned an unprofitable transaction into a windfall.
Brutocao v. The Hunt Club Community Association
Klein & Wilson's client was forced to sue his homeowners' association, which refused to allow him to build on plans it had previously approved. Klein & Wilson attempted to settle the case early through mediation, but the homeowners' association stubbornly refused to budge an inch. At trial, the court found in favor of Klein & Wilson's client and awarded not only substantial damages, but also the majority of the client's legal fees, finding that the quality of representation had been superior.
Doe v. Roe Corporation (Case Confidential)
Klein & Wilson represented the former chief executive officer of a major corporation. The major corporation failed to live up to numerous provisions of a post-employment agreement. After three days of arbitration, the defendant agreed to pay all the money Klein & Wilson's client requested, totaling over $500,000.
Wesley v. Kifton
In this construction defect case, Mr. Wilson sued some of the largest developers in California, including Jack Nicklaus (the golfer) and Watt Industries. Mr. Wilson's clients purchased a large residential lot on a Jack Nicklaus golf course and, soon after the purchase, the lot was destroyed by a flood. All the defendants denied liability, and Mr. Nicklaus even threatened Mr. Wilson with a malicious prosecution action. After Mr. Wilson presented compelling evidence that the lot was defective, the defendants settled by paying approximately $500,000.
Doe Corporation v. Roe Corporation (Case Confidential)
Klein & Wilson's client hired a structural engineering firm to design several commercial buildings. Years after the buildings were constructed, a piece of concrete broke off one of the concrete panels. Investigation revealed the structural engineer made calculation errors, resulting in inadequate chord connections. At mediation, Klein & Wilson recovered all of the client's damages, including attorneys' fees and prejudgment interest.
Business Center Drive Partners v. BioGentec Corporation
BioGentec was a landlord's worst nightmare. The company was habitually late on rent and repeatedly made commitments it did not keep. The landlord, Klein & Wilson's client, refused to renew the lease and, at that point, the landlord's nightmare only got worse. BioGentec held over and took advantage of every procedural opportunity to delay eviction. As a result of Klein & Wilson's very aggressive litigation tactics, Klein & Wilson successfully evicted BioGentec and then won a substantial monetary judgment against BioGentec for back rent and attorneys' fees. Although BioGentec did not voluntarily pay the judgment, Klein & Wilson convinced the court to find the principal of BioGentec in contempt of court for failing to turn over assets and almost all of the outstanding judgment was recovered when the judge threatened to throw the principal in jail. This was an extremely satisfying result.
Breton v. Midland TME
In a construction dispute, Mr. Klein represented a construction company for collection of its contract account and foreclosure of a mechanic's lien. The defendants alleged construction defect and a variety of other defenses, including some issues never before considered by a California court. Mr. Klein recovered over $250,000 for the construction company and won the right for his client to foreclose on its mechanic's lien.
John Doe v. AMMCO Holdings, LLC (Case Confidential)
$250,000 (Binding Arbitration)
AMMCO hired Klein & Wilson's client to be its president and gave him the impossible task of turning the company around in short order, even though the company's accounting department was incompetent and years of sloppy corporate culture permeated every department. Klein & Wilson's client made great strides in improving quality control and repairing damaged customer relationships. Nevertheless, AMMCO's board abruptly terminated the client for "cause" after a disgruntled employee complained about his management style. Consequently, AMMCO refused to pay the severance set forth in the employment agreement and other wages, on the ground that the "for cause" termination justified its decision.
Klein & Wilson persuaded AMMCO to submit the case to binding arbitration which saved Klein & Wilson's client thousands of dollars in fees and costs. At the binding arbitration in front of Justice Edward Wallin, Klein & Wilson proved its client met AMMCO's stated objectives and there was no "cause" justifying the client's termination. Justice Wallin awarded Klein & Wilson's client the entire severance payment requested, plus vacation pay, penalties, expert witness fees, interest, costs, and all of Klein & Wilson's attorneys' fees.
Does v. Roe Law Firm
Klein & Wilson recovered $250,000 in a legal malpractice case where the attorneys did a poor job preparing an underlying personal injury and civil rights case. Despite serious issues of causation, Klein & Wilson convinced the insurance carrier a jury would overlook those issues because of the attorneys' misconduct.
Doe v. John Roe (Case Confidential)
One of the largest law firms in the United States sought $747,181.79 from its client in a fee dispute. Klein & Wilson cast doubt on the law firm's bills by comparing the work product with the amount of time the attorneys billed. The case settled for $200,000 before the fee arbitration.
MacPherson v. Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation
In 1987, Mr. Klein sued Wall Street securities firm Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation ("DLJ") on behalf of an investor whose account was wrongfully liquidated by the securities company. DLJ countersued the investor for over $1 million, alleging securities fraud and a variety of other causes of action. Mr. Klein received summary judgment on most of the security company's causes of action and, at trial, received a defense verdict on DLJ's remaining causes of action. The jury awarded the investor approximately $200,000, representing the value of the wrongfully liquidated account.
Masonry Mechanics v. Breton Construction
Mr. Wilson represented Breton Construction in this construction defect and breach of contract action. Masonry Mechanics sued Breton Construction for several hundred thousand dollars for nonpayment of its work. Mr. Wilson proved that Breton Construction refused to pay for the work because it was defective. Moreover, Mr. Wilson proved that Masonry Mechanics caused Breton Construction to suffer approximately $200,000 in delay damages. At arbitration, the court awarded Masonry Mechanics nothing and awarded Mr. Wilson's client approximately $200,000.
HSBC Mortgage Services, Inc. v. MTDS, Inc.
One of the largest financial institutions in the world sued Klein & Wilson's client for $1 million it claimed was owed . As a result of bookkeeping errors, Klein & Wilson's client admittedly lost $1 million of plaintiff's money. Klein & Wilson was able to convince the plaintiff to take less than 15 cents on the dollar of the amounts owed and the client's insurance carrier to pay the balance owed, except for the client's deductible of $15,000. Accordingly, on a loss of over $1 million, the client paid only $15,000.
Ambassador Hotel Co., Ltd. v. Wei-Chuan Investments
Klein & Wilson was retained only after the client suffered a judgment approaching $70 million. Following reversal of the trial court's ruling, Klein & Wilson was able to have the judgment reduced by tens of millions of dollars.
Doe v. Roe Law Firm
(Settlement Confidential)
Klein & Wilson's client hired a law firm to represent her in a divorce case. The attorney did a poor job preparing her case for trial and relied too heavily upon an expert who did not know what she was doing. When the client complained that the expert's report was filled with mathematical mistakes, the lawyer panicked, made an inappropriate contact, and forcefully told the client she had to settle. Klein & Wilson's client decided she could not trust the attorney anymore and was also afraid of him because of his physical aggression. She terminated his services and asked the court for a trial continuance, but the court refused to continue the trial. The trial ended in a predictable disaster. The defense contended the client's wounds were "self-inflicted" and that it was her discharge of the attorney which led to the disastrous trial result. Regrettably, there was more than a hint of truth to that contention. Nevertheless, Klein & Wilson was able to achieve a favorable confidential settlement for its client, allowing her to get back on track with her life and not be distracted by further litigation.
Doe Corporations v. Roe Corporation (Case Confidential)
Klein & Wilson represented some of the largest companies in the world in an action against a toxic polluter to fund a settlement with the Environmental Protection Agency. The toxic polluter said it could not pay what it owed because it was out of business and had no assets. Klein & Wilson uncovered evidence that defendant's president used the company like a personal piggy bank. Therefore, Klein & Wilson pursued the president under an alter ego theory. These tactics resulted in a substantial settlement for Klein & Wilson's clients. Accordingly, in a case where the target defendant had no money, Klein & Wilson still recovered almost every penny owed.
Doe Corporation v. Roe Corporation (Case Confidential)
Klein & Wilson represented Roe Corporation, who was sued by an individual claiming Roe Corporation entered into a written agreement providing the individual a 30 percent (30%) interest in the company as well as guaranteeing employment for five years at $100,000 per year. Plaintiff's settlement demand was $5 million. Roe Corporation hired Klein & Wilson just two weeks before the case was set for trial. Klein & Wilson persuaded the trial court to continue the trial. Klein & Wilson then took plaintiff's deposition by videotape, during which Klein & Wilson impeached plaintiff many times. Subsequently, Klein & Wilson persuaded plaintiff to attend a mediation. At the mediation, Klein & Wilson used a multimedia presentation showing how badly plaintiff had been impeached. The case settled at mediation for $60,000.
Doe Corporation v. Roe Law Firm
(Confidential Settlement)
Klein & Wilson brought a legal malpractice action against one of the largest and most prominent law firms in California for its mishandling of a "bet-the-company" trade secrets case and its failure to recognize serious conflicts of interest. At the time Klein & Wilson accepted the case, the law firm was demanding approximately $500,000 from the client. Klein & Wilson settled the case on the eve of trial for $725,000 with the law firm agreeing to write-off its entire bill of almost $500,000.
Does v. Roe LLC (Case Confidential)
After obtaining an arbitration award of $825,000 for Klein & Wilson's client, the defendant tried to escape payment by creating new business entities. Klein & Wilson filed an action for fraudulent conveyance and related claims, causing the defendant to settle for a confidential amount.
Does v. Roes
(Case Confidential)
Klein & Wilson represented Pakistani clients who alleged they formed a joint venture with a German corporation to bring mobile banking to Pakistan. This case had jurisdictional and choice of law issues; nevertheless, Klein & Wilson was successful in keeping the case venue in the United States. After prevailing on a substantive motion and showing the defendants the case had huge exposure, the parties resolved their differences. This was the first time in Klein & Wilson's history where it agreed not to reveal the names of the parties or how the case was resolved - the result was substantial.
Greenfield Monterey Park, LLC v. The Ezralow Company, LLC
Greenfield Monterey Park, LLC v. The City of Monterey Park
Klein & Wilson represented several defendants in related State Court cases involving the proposed development of one of the largest Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") Superfund sites in the United States. Plaintiffs sought tens of millions of dollars in damages from Klein & Wilson's clients and various public entities. The parties and the EPA Superfund site were subject to a convoluted Federal consent decree; accordingly, Klein & Wilson successfully stayed the State Court cases, requiring plaintiffs to seek redress from the EPA. After the parties completed the Federal dispute resolution process, the State Court cases resumed, and Klein & Wilson settled the claims against its clients for only $700,000, with $275,000 of that amount being paid by the clients' insurers. Klein & Wilson obtained orders finding the settlement to be in good faith, prompting other parties to file writs to challenge the trial court's orders. Klein & Wilson responded with motions for summary judgment against the challenging parties. The parties withdrew their writs, finally ending these cases after more than five years of litigation.
JAG Industries v. Brutoco Development
(Defense Verdict)
In this case, Mr. Klein represented a land developer accused of breaching an option to buy a particular property. Mr. Klein moved for a defense verdict at the conclusion of plaintiff's presentation of evidence. The motion was granted, resulting in a judgment for Klein & Wilson's client.
Kessler v. Horan
(Plaintiff Verdict)
In this attorney malpractice action, Mr. Wilson represented an investor who purchased real estate in Newport Beach. The attorney who represented Mr. Wilson's client in the transaction botched the transaction so badly, the client's title to the property was unclear, which resulted in several other lawsuits being filed. The attorney denied all liability and the case went to trial. The attorney was represented by one of Orange County's most experienced trial attorneys. Nevertheless, Mr. Wilson prevailed at trial and recovered all the damages requested.
Krogh v. Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation
(Confidential Settlement)
In this case, two investors sued their securities broker for wrongful liquidation of their accounts. After completion of discovery, Mr. Klein received a substantial settlement on behalf of his clients, the amount of which is confidential.
LDM v. Unisys Corporation
(Confidential Settlement)
In 1986, Mr. Klein negotiated a settlement for his client with Unisys Corporation. At the time, this was the largest settlement ever paid by Unisys Corporation in a non-securities case. The settlement amount is confidential.
Overton, Lyman & Prince v. John Doe
(Defense Verdict)
In 1986, Mr. Klein represented a client of Overton, Lyman & Prince, a prominent law firm, who contested any obligation to pay further attorneys' fees to the Overton firm. At trial, the court determined the Overton firm had not carried its burden in proving fees were owed and, upon Mr. Klein's motion, the court granted a defense verdict in favor of Mr. Klein's client.
Pellizzon v. Fidelity Investments
(Plaintiff Verdict)
In this case, Mr. Klein represented a securities investor whose orders were not executed properly. Mr. Klein prevailed in arbitration and the client was awarded all the money he requested.
Plaza Freeway Limited Partnership v. First Mountain Bank
In this case, Klein & Wilson represented a shopping center attempting to evict a bank tenant based upon expiration of the bank's lease. Both sides agreed the lease had not yet expired, but the bank had executed an estoppel certificate indicating an erroneous lease expiration date. The question presented at trial was whether the bank was bound by its estoppel certificate or whether the actual lease expiration date should be enforced. In a case of first impression, the trial court concluded the bank was not bound by the estoppel certificate. Klein & Wilson appealed and the appellate court reversed, finding the estoppel certificate enforceable and directing the court to enter judgment in favor of Klein & Wilson's client. The case was a published decision and was one of the ten most important appellate decisions involving real estate during 2000.
Price Pfister, Inc. v. Metaldyne Corporation
(Defense Judgment)
Price Pfister, Inc. ("Price Pfister"), a subsidiary of Black & Decker Corporation, sued Klein & Wilson's clients alleging they were responsible to defend all asbestos lawsuits filed against Price Pfister. Price Pfister sought reimbursement of $1 million it incurred defending asbestos cases to date and an order requiring Klein & Wilson's clients to pay all of Price Pfister's future legal bills. Klein & Wilson tried the case against Edward Hugo of Brydon, Hugo & Parker who claims to be one of the most successful trial attorneys in Northern California. Klein & Wilson proved that Price Pfister's claims had no merit and obtained a defense judgment. Price Pfister appealed the judgment, and the appellate court partially reversed the judgment. The appellate court remanded the case back to the trial court to determine whether, pursuant to Civil Code section 2778(4), Klein & Wilson's clients were obligated to pay the defense costs Price Pfister sought. Klein & Wilson prevailed again on the new trial and recovered a second defense judgment against Price Pfister.
Saad v. Gilchrist
(Defense Verdict)
In this action, Mr. Klein represented the former president of a software company on a breach of guarantee case. At the conclusion of plaintiff's case, Mr. Klein moved for a defense verdict. Judgment was entered on behalf of Mr. Klein's client without his client being required to present further evidence. Costs were awarded to Mr. Klein's client.
Siegel v. Dyer
Plaintiff sued Klein & Wilson's client, alleging she failed to disclose fungus when she sold her property to plaintiff. The case was troubling because the parties signed an amendment to the agreement in which the client disclosed the fungus, plaintiff agreed to take responsibility for it, and plaintiff received a credit for the condition. Due to this fact, Klein & Wilson filed a cross-complaint alleging plaintiff was breaching the terms of the contract. On the eve of the hearing on a motion for summary judgment Klein & Wilson filed, plaintiff agreed to pay Klein & Wilson's client $60,000 for having to defend a frivolous lawsuit.
Singh v. Royal Maccabees Insurance Company
(Confidential Settlement)
Klein & Wilson's client was a prominent anesthesiologist. Following a traffic accident, he suffered carpal tunnel syndrome, for which the insurance company paid partial disability benefits. However, after releasing the insurance company from any claim for partial disability, the client found he was still not improving. The insurance company refused to pay any further benefits, and Klein & Wilson sued on behalf of the client. After getting the case ready for trial, the insurance company settled for a confidential amount.
Sjostrom v. Pepper Hamilton, LLP
(Settlement Confidential)
Klein & Wilson's client sold his business and expected to have a covenant not to compete in the sales agreement, which would have prevented the owners of the assets he acquired from competing against him. The client discovered the covenant not to compete, which the lawyers drafted, did not prohibit the former principals of the company from competing. The client, therefore, sued his former counsel, one of the largest law firms in the country. Klein & Wilson worked cooperatively with opposing counsel to resolve this case satisfactorily for all sides, without a large expenditure of legal fees.
Vera Townhomes Homeowners' Association v. Chesley Construction, Inc.
A general contractor threatened to sue Klein & Wilson's client, a homeowners' association, for unpaid construction fees. Following Klein & Wilson's advice, the homeowners' association sued first. At the binding arbitration, the association argued not only had it paid the contractor in full, it had overpaid the contractor for its work. Before the arbitration, the association offered to settle the case for a "walk-away," with both sides surrendering their competing claims against each other. The contractor refused and insisted on pressing its cross-complaint. The case proceeded to arbitration. Using a multimedia presentation, Klein & Wilson convinced the arbitrator that the association was owed every penny it requested, and the arbitrator awarded the contractor nothing. The arbitrator later told the local bar association Klein & Wilson's multimedia presentation was the most effective trial presentation he had ever seen.
Vera Townhomes Homeowners' Association v. State Farm
(Confidential Settlement)
In conjunction with the construction defect case referenced above, Klein & Wilson filed a first party claim against State Farm Insurance. The claim was rejected, and Klein & Wilson filed an action for bad faith against the insurance company. Before any depositions were taken, State Farm settled by paying the association's entire claim. The settlement amount is confidential.

In remarks to US lawmakers, Bernanke said the economy has weakened since the Fed's latest outlook prepared in January, meaning a contraction is likely.
In remarks to US lawmakers, Bernanke said the economy has weakened since the Fed's latest outlook prepared in January, meaning a contraction is likely.
The latest data suggests the economy "will not grow much, if at all, over the first half of 2008 and could even contract slightly," Bernanke told the Joint Economic Committee of Congress.
"A recession is possible," Bernanke told lawmakers. But he noted that an independent economic panel will make a determination at a later time on a recession: "So I'm not yet ready to say whether or not the US economy will face such a situation. However, it's clearly a period of very slow growth."
It was Bernanke's first public acknowledgement of a possible recession, which is generally defined by economists as two consecutive quarters of declining activity. But he suggested any recession would be mild.

"We expect economic activity to strengthen in the second half of the year, in part as the result of stimulative monetary and fiscal policies," he said.
The world's biggest economy expanded at a sluggish 0.6 percent annual pace in the fourth quarter of 2007, the latest for which official data is available, but many analysts say activity weakened further in 2008, and Bernanke agreed.
"The near-term economic outlook has weakened relative to the projections released by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) at the end of January," he said.
He said the central bank has taken numerous actions, including slashing key interest rates, easing terms for direct loans to banks and opening up the Fed's credit to securities firms, in an effort to ease stress in credit markets resulting from a housing market collapse.
"Although our recent actions appear to have helped stabilize the situation somewhat, financial markets remain under considerable stress," he said.
The Fed chairman, as usual, offered no clue on the Fed's next move on interest rates, after having slashed the federal funds rate by three percentage points in the past six months to 2.25 percent. But analysts said they expected more cuts.
"The tone of the speech remains quite dovish," said Marie-Pierre Ripert at Ixis Corporate and Investment Bank.
"We expect macroeconomic news to be disappointing, supporting the view of a 50 basis-point rate cut."
In his appearance, Bernanke also defended the Fed involvement in the rescue of investment bank Bear Stearns, saying it acted to avert a "chaotic" situation that could have triggered broad economic impacts.
Bernanke said the Fed faced "difficult questions of public policy" in the case of Bear Stearns, which had extensive positions in "critical markets."
"With financial conditions fragile, the sudden failure of Bear Stearns likely would have led to a chaotic unwinding of positions in those markets and could have severely shaken confidence," Bernanke said.
"Given the current exceptional pressures on the global economy and financial system, the damage caused by a default by Bear Stearns could have been severe and extremely difficult to contain."
But he argued that contrary to some comments, the actions of the Fed were not a bailout of the Wall Street giant.
"We did not bail out Bear Stearns. Bear Stearns' shareholders took a very significant loss. An 85-year-old company lost its independence and became acquired by another firm," Bernanke said.
Bear Stearns agreed to be taken over by JPMorgan Chase for just over one billion dollars last month, marking a bargain basement price for the stricken bank.
"We did what we did because we felt it was necessary to preserve the integrity and viability of the American financial system, which in turn is critical for the health of the economy," Bernanke said.

Windows 8 hands-on review
Microsoft's next release of Windows is available
SOFTWARE REDEVELOPER Microsoft has released the final build of Windows 8 to Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) and TechNet subscribers to download and install. The INQUIRER has taken a look at the release to manufacturing (RTM) version of Windows 8 to see what's new about it.For those who might wonder what has changed in Microsoft's shipping code for Windows 8, the short answer is not much, apart from a few cosmetic changes, some background art alternatives and lock screen designs to let users customise how the starting display looks on their PC.
Those changes that have been introduced since the Release Preview version of Windows 8 came out include the "Do Not Track" privacy setting enabled by default in the Internet Explorer 10 browser, and a Bing application for internet searches added to the Start menu.
As far as most users are concerned, the experience of using Windows 8 RTM has thus changed little since Microsoft released the first preview version.
The new style user interface has been much written about, and is a considerable change from the desktop that users have grown accustomed to in Windows versions right up through Windows 7.
Formerly known as "Metro style" until very recently, this follows the design of Microsoft's Windows Phone, with the Start screen displaying live application tiles that include notifications and updates.
As most readers will now be aware, the user interface is designed primarily for touchscreen control on a tablet, not just when launching applications by touching their live tile, but also by using gestures where users might have used the mouse previously, such as swiping in from the right edge of the screen to bring up a menu of options.
Existing Windows applications are relegated to the desktop, a separate environment accessed via a tile on the Start menu, where they retain the traditional look and feel. However, the Aero Glass effect is now gone.
We're not yet convinced that the new user interface will prove to be a hit with users rather than hated, but a great deal hangs on the success, or lack of it, of the new system.
The Windows 8 RTM code has supposedly been cleaned up by Microsoft to improve performance, but we did not notice any perceptible difference between this version and the pre-release builds.
This is not necessarily a bad thing, as the gesture-based user interface really does feel "fast and fluid", to quote Microsoft's own phrase.One thing that did concern us is that IE 10 crashed several times while browsing during our hands-on tests, which does not bode well for the reliability of Windows 8, considering we were using a fresh install of the release version.
While the Windows 8 RTM does not contain many surprises from the pre-release versions, the operating system as a whole introduces a great many new features compared with earlier editions of Windows such as Windows 7. We'll be looking over these in greater depth in a full review of Windows 8 in the near future. µ

Lady Colonials Remain Undefeated after Comfortable 3-0 Win
Southampton defeats Adelphi in clash of Island soccer heavyweights.
Andreas Nilsson (email@example.com)
Southampton, NY - Senior forward Denise Domena scored twice and set up the third for Southampton (12-0-1) in their Tuesday win against NYCAC conference rival Adelphi University (9-2-0).
The win gave the Lady Colonials their 12th victory of the season and with it a College record breaking 13-game unbeaten streak. It also cemented them into first place in the Northeast Region and confirmed their national Division II fourth ranking.
After 20 minutes of even play, Adelphi earned a disputed penalty that brought senior standout Josephine Coiro up to the penalty spot. Her hard shot to the right was well read by Southampton goalie Corrine Morgan, with the crucial save seeming to give her side added momentum and from then on they dominated for most of the game.
With just seven minutes left in the first half, Southampton sophomore striker Paivi Kivisto blasted a shot in the upper 90s from 25 yards out to make it 1-0. Denise Domena assisted on the play. Domena would score herself a mere four minutes later, when she capitalized on a breakaway to make it 2-0 coming into halftime. The goal was set up nicely by senior standout Annelie Anderrson.
Southampton continued to control the game in the second half. Eight minutes into play, Annelie Andersson once again set up Domena on a breakaway, where the All-conference forward scored her tenth goal of the season to make it 3-0.
Adelphi had majority of possession for the remainder of the game but failed to create any dangerous scoring chances.
Southampton Goalie Corrine Morgan earned hers and the team's ninth shutout of the year, with seven saves for the day.
Lady Colonials Captain Åsa Birgersdotter, said the team's win "was big as we reached yet another of our goals set before the season".
"We wanted to be number one in the region, beat Adelphi and go to the NCAA's. Now we're just waiting to get into the NCAAs." she said.
Southampton coach Mark Dawson, enjoying his most successful season, said that being undefeated and ranked fourth the country was satisfying, but the ultimate goal was to make it to the NCAAs.

Bloomberg: Obama Cabinet Flunks Disclosure Test With 19 in 20 Ignoring Law
On his first full day in office, President Barack Obama ordered federal officials to "usher in a new era of open government" and "act promptly" to make information public.
Nineteen of 20 cabinet-level agencies disobeyed the law requiring the disclosure of public information: The cost of travel by top officials. In all, just eight of the 57 federal agencies met Bloomberg's request for those documents within the 20-day window required by the Act.
"When it comes to implementation of Obama's wonderful transparency policy goals, especially FOIA policy in particular, there has been far more 'talk the talk' rather than 'walk the walk,'" said Daniel Metcalfe, director of the Department of Justice's office monitoring the government's compliance with FOIA requests from 1981 to 2007.
The Bloomberg survey was designed in part to gauge the timeliness of responses, which Attorney General Eric Holder called "an essential component of transparency" in a March 2009 memo. About half of the 57 agencies eventually disclosed the out-of-town travel expenses generated by their top official by Sept. 14, most of them well past the legal deadline.
Bloomberg reporters in June filed FOIA requests for fiscal year 2011 taxpayer-supported travel for Cabinet secretaries and top officials of major departments. Justice Department official Melanie Ann Pustay said in an interview that disclosure of those records is in the public interest.
Even agency heads who publicly announce their events — including Holder, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius — didn't provide the costs of their out-of-town trips more than three months after the initial request.
"It's ironic that the demands in the presidential campaign for Mitt Romney's tax returns are unrelenting, but when it comes time to release the schedules for senior appointees there's the same denial of access," said Paul Light, a New York University professor who studies the federal bureaucracy.
"Over the past four years, federal agencies have gone to great efforts to make government more transparent and more accessible than ever, to provide people with information that they can use in their daily lives," said White House spokesman Eric Schultz, who noted that Obama received an award for his commitment to open government. The March 2011 presentation of that award was closed to the press.

[edit] Python 3.2
[edit] Summary
Update the Python 3 stack in Fedora from 3.1 to 3.2
[edit] Owner
- Name: Dave Malcolm
- Email: <email@example.com>
[edit] Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 15
- Last updated: 2011-04-07
- Percentage of completion: 100%
Upstream has now released 3.2 (see the upstream release schedule)
Latest in F15 is 3.2 (via an errata)
Latest in F16 is 3.2
The final change to the bytecode format for 3.2 was in upstream revision 84686, which changed the magic number of .pyc/.pyo files to 3180. The latest version of rpmlint for F15 (and rawhide) correctly checks for this bytecode version in python 3 rpms (see RHBZ #672352)
The "file" command has been taught about 3.2's .pyc/.pyo files: RHBZ #678458 (though so far only fixed in F16 onwards)
[edit] Detailed Description
Python 3.2 is the latest release of the Python 3 language. Although the core language has been frozen (to allow the non-CPython implementation of Python to "catch up" with CPython), 3.2 contains hundreds of fixes and tweaks throughout, a few of which I'm responsible for ;-)
[edit] Benefit to Fedora
Fedora aims to showcase the latest in free and open source software - we should have the most recent release of Python 3.
[edit] Scope
The core python3 src.rpm has been rebuilt with the latest 3.2 code.
There have been some slight changes to the on-disk layout of how Python organizes extension modules: PEP-3147 and PEP-3149.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Python3#Python_3_already_in_Fedora indicates that as of Fedora 15 there are currently about 25-30 extension modules for Python 3 available via RPM. These will need rebuilding to cope with disk layout changes, and for the latest .pyc/.pyo bytecode format. I believe that the Fedora 15 mass rebuild will cover this; I will do any remaining rebuilds as necessary before the release. Many have already been done by package maintainers.
[edit] How To Test
Interested testers do not need special hardware. If you have a favorite Python 3 script, module, or application, please test it with Python 3.2 and verify that it still works as you expect.
My own test plan:
- Smoketest of the interpreter
- Run the upstream regression test suite (this is done during %check)
[edit] User Experience
Users should not notice any difference, other than the availability of the 3.2 interpreter
[edit] Dependencies
See notes in "Scope" above.
[edit] Contingency Plan
The bulk of the work is done, and appears stable.
[edit] Documentation
[edit] Release Notes
The system Python 3 stack has been upgraded to 3.2 (the system Python 2 stack remains at 2.7), bringing in hundreds of fixes and tweaks; for a list of changes see http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.2.html

Best place to look for the answer to that question would be the PHP manual: money_format().
In case this applies:
The function money_format() is only defined if the system has strfmon capabilities. For example, Windows does not, so money_format() is undefined in Windows.

Discussion in 'Star Trek - Original Series' started by Harvey, Aug 11, 2012.
Then I'm gonna crack my knuckles and jump for joy!
This is gonna be one sweet release I just hope it is not wicked expensive
I'm not sure how to read this. Does that mean Adam's songs won't be part of the release? What exactly was recorded "on set"? I'm confused.
Otherwise, I definitely want to get this set, but I'm unsure whether it will make its way to Germany without problems.
Price was just announced on FB: $225 dollars and a november release. Limited to 6000 copies.
I knew this was going to be expensive, but I won't be buying. The collector in me wants this. But I don't really love the music of TOS the way I love the music of TNG. This is a fantastic release and well worth the price for fans. Just not for me.
Completely opposite for me. For my tastes even TNG's best efforts are soulless noise compared to TOS' music.
I think:
...could be a direct reference to on-set songs (meant to be Adam improvising) which were not recorded seperately in the studio, so the track is not isolated from the rest of the dialogue. I'm not sure if this also refers to the "judge/jail" song Adam sings to mock Kirk in a corridor, but if i'm correct, then such songs would not be included in the box set. As much as I would like the improvised songs to be a part of the package, I can weather it, considering the sheer volume of the rest of the set.
Just to think about this release makes the mind swim with menories and expectations.
i think a lot of people will agree with you. I do too, in part. The Next Generation had more atmospheric music, TOS had a rich, melodic orchestral score.
But do not underestimate the nostalgia factor. You might've grown up with TOS and love the show partly because of the music. I'm an eighties child, grew up with TNG and love the scores, especially by Ron Jones. I grew up listening to it. I don't hold that love for TOS. I respect the show, enjoy it, but don't love it. Same with the music. Technically and creatively it is better than TNG. But I just don't love it.
I have that old bootleg Star Trek Bloopers album made from discarded audio reels from the third season (I bought it before I knew it was bootleg or understood the concept, honest), and that includes audio of the songs from "The Way to Eden," which was informative about the process. Normally for songs in TV shows (this being no exception), the performers initially do them in a recording studio for optimal sound quality; then when they actually perform the song for the camera, the pre-recorded audio is played back on set and the performers sing along for lip sync. So on the bootleg album you can hear the recording that was actually done on the set, with the live performers singing along with the pre-recorded audio, so you hear their voices doubled over. Then, of course, in the final episode, only the prerecorded, best-quality audio track from the recording studio is used, dubbed over the visuals filmed on the set. (This is why you often see subtle lip-sync errors even when it's definitely the voice of the person you see singing.)
Presumably what's on this album will be the songs as recorded in the sound studio. What isn't on the album would be the little bits that weren't prerecorded, like Adam's "clean bill of health" ad-lib. If they were recorded on set, they'd basically count as part of the dialogue rather than the soundtrack.
Indysolo, can you tell us the music and lyric credits for the "Way to Eden" songs? I've been wondering that for ages.
Ah, thanks for the clarifications. So, in other words, "The Goodland", "Heading Out to Eden", "Hey Out There!" and the Spock/Adam jam will be part of this release, right? They sure sound pre-recorded to me.
I hope me constantly asking for these songs doesn't annoy anyone. It's just that they are a really big selling point for me, when it comes to this set.
Thought I posted this yesterday:
Interesting. Personally, the music from Way To Eden would be about the 15th- or 20th-ranked selling point of the set, for me. I do like some stuff from Way To Eden: I like Adam's song "Headin' Out To Eden" (the slow version), and of course the jam. I like those things a lot.
But there are for more interesting things, in a potential full-TOS collection. I'm much more interested in the original score for Enemy Within, and Adonis, and Friday's Child. Much more interested in the full score for the 2nd pilot. Very interested in remastered scores for Amok Time and Doomsday Machine. A full Charlie X! That's a helluva score, full of music that was used thruout season 1, and library cues for later seasons. Etc.
For me, the answer on the Way To Eden music is most interesting because of what it says about the "thoroughness" of the research etc behind this compilation. Before now there was some confusion about the music in the episode, with some sources saying no new music was recorded, and other sources disagreeing. If the guys behind the compilation went to the trouble of resolving the questions for this crappy 3rd-season episode, which is one of the most-reviled (though in fact I like the episode), then to me that speaks volumes on how comprehensive this collection is.
Very excited. It's been almost 48 hours since I first learned about the compilation, and I'm still very excited.
Previous releases or re-recordings were nice, but they were also frustrating in a tantalizing way because of what you didn't get.
A complete compilation for the entire series is mind-boggling and something to be really appreciated.
Wholeheartedly agree. Being a fan of the music as much as the story content and classic visual, the music is another "character" in the series--memorable all on its own. Like many, I bought the GNPC albums and the VS re-scored records back in the 80s, but as much as I appreciated having any TOS music released, one could not help thinking of the volume of remaining music sitting in an archive.
Now, that longtime frustration is pushed aside as one of the most exiciting soundtrack releases in 50 years is on the eve of release.
I wait with smiling anticipation!
It just occurred to me that it would be great if La La Land could do a box set of scores from Mission: Impossible too -- the original series, of course. There is one CD available, but it's all Lalo Schifrin and mainly from later seasons, it looks like. I think M:I had its best music in the first 4 seasons, and featured some great contributions by Gerald Fried, Jerry Fielding, Walter Scharf (who's best known for composing the National Geographic theme), Robert Drasnin, and others as well as Schifrin. I know M:I isn't as popular today as Star Trek, but the Fried and Fielding scores would have crossover appeal for Trek music fans -- and I submit the rest of the early scores would too, since this was also a Desilu production made simultaneously with TOS and probably used the same recording studio and equipment and a lot of the same musicians and instruments, giving the scores a similar sound even with different composers. And I'd certainly be interested in such a set.
Mission: Impossible indeed had some great music.
We watched the season two episode "Trek" last night with Mark Lenard and had almost exactly this same conversation about the music from Mission: Impossible! How funny.
Oh, yeah, "Trek" was (fittingly) one of the Gerald Fried scores, and one of his best for M:I.
It strikes me that, you guys who did the research for the new compilation, you probably have more access to cue sheets for tracked episodes than anyone has ever had. Can this info be made public somewhere? It would be wonderful to be able to look up info like –
Well for example, a question came up in another thread, about the music cues during the teaser of Errand Of Mercy, about a minute or so in, when the torpedo-strikes rock the ship and Kirk & Spock are clinging to the handrail. An online directory of cue sheets would be awesome. Probably a tedious thing to put together; but if you guys have access to all the info, that would be a nice follow-on project, after the compilation is released.
You know, in all your copious free time. :-)
There's one issue in particular I'm still wondering about. According to my father, his former teacher, the late composer Scott Huston, ghostwrote the scores for a couple of TOS episodes. There was a Cincinnati Enquirer interview with Huston sometime in the '80s, before his death, that also asserted this, clarifying that they were scores credited to Alexander Courage and were written in 1968 when Courage was on an "extended European vacation." I later learned that Courage had something of a falling out with Roddenberry over the latter's insistence on adding lyrics to the theme song so that he could get half the royalties on sheet-music sales, or something like that, which makes it credible that he could've asked someone else to ghostwrite the scores. And the two original third-season scores credited to Courage, "The Enterprise Incident" and "Plato's Stepchildren," use Courage motifs but do not sound like the work of the same composer who did the pilots, "The Man Trap," and "The Naked Time," although they're definitely by the same composer as each other.
I asked Jeff Bond about this over e-mail some years ago, but he said he'd been unable to find any proof of this. I'm wondering if anything more has been discovered about the authorship of those episode scores in the course of researching this project. I keep thinking I should look into it myself, maybe try to get in contact with Huston's estate through the University of Cincinnati's College Conservatory of Music, where he taught for many years (and which was also the alma mater of TOS composer George Duning). But I'm just about to get to work on a new novel and I don't think I'll have the chance to research it anytime soon. Really, I should've done it years ago.
It has been pointed out by Jeff Bond on FSM that the music for The Enterprise Incident sounds similar to some Alexander Courage music from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
[FONT=Arial]I haven't heard the music in question, but this sort of suggests that this isn't the case.[/FONT]
That is facinating. Has an air of plausibility too: those two scores don't sound like Courage's other Star Trek music.
I had never heard of Scott Huston before.
The one thing that makes me skeptical is, I think the composer conducted the studio orchestra in the recording of the score. Jeff Bond's book has the session dates for those scores as 8/5/68 and 10/25/68. Wouldn't people have noticed if the guy in the room wasn't Courage? In Bob Justman's interview in the book, he said he likes to be on the sound stage for the recording of the score, and he knew "Sandy".
(On the other hand, those dates are right on Huston's timeline, and in the interview Justman says they could only get Courage for a couple of first-season scores. Hmm.)
Separate names with a comma.

Texas Sex Offenders: Ages 10-17 at time of the crime
Texas law allows juveniles as young as 10 to be included on the public sex offender registry. There are at least 1,004 who were under the age of 14 - which means they were too young to be tried as adults, when they committed offenses. The juvenile justice system has been designed to give children who break the law a second chance by keeping their criminal records private, yet their names and photos can be posted on the state's sex offender Website if a judge orders it. About 4,000 people are on the Texas sex offender registry for crimes committed as juveniles. This database represents a partial version of the Dallas Morning News analysis of Texas Department of Public Safety records. Identities have been omitted, but you can search by crime, suspect age, suspect gender, victim age and victim gender.
Offenses defined:• Sexual assault: Penetration of another person by mouth or sexual organ without their consent or causing them to penetrate your mouth or sexual organ.
• Aggravated sexual assault: Penetration of another person by mouth or sexual organ without their consent or causing them to penetrate your mouth or sexual organ, using threats, a weapon, or drugs and possibly causing bodily injury. A sexual assault automatically becomes aggravated if the victim is younger than 14 or elderly or disabled.
• Indecency with a child: Touching the breast or genitals of someone under 18, including through clothing, with the intent to arouse or gratify sexually
• Indecent exposure: Exposes sexual organs with intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person, and is reckless about whether another is present who will be offended or alarmed by the act.
• Sexual performance of a child: A person commits an offense if, knowing the character and content thereof, he employs, authorizes, or induces a child younger than 18 years of age to engage in sexual conduct or a sexual performance.
• Kidnapping: Intentionally or knowingly abducts another person.
• Prohibited sexual contact: Touching of a sexual organ of another person with intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person.
• Possession promotion child porn: Knowingly or intentionally possesses visual material that visually depicts a child younger than 18 years of age at the time the image of the child was made who is engaging in sexual conduct.
• Burglary of habitation with intent: Enters a habitation, or a building (or any portion of a building) not then open to the public, with intent to commit an assault
• Court/Board ordered registration: Exact crime unknown. Board of Pardons and Parole or a court can order any person who has a history of sexual offenses to register in cases where statutes do not normally require registration.
• Out of state registration: Moved to Texas from another state where an offense was committed.
Note: Totals may exceed the numbers indicated in the overview because some offenders have multiple victims or multiple charges.

Two Days Until International Talk Like a Pirate Day!!!
In this Issue:
Two Very Cool Things!
This is about as cool as it gets! Two very huge piratey honors have come to us on the even of this year's International Talk Like a PIrate Day – celebrated this Wednesday. We wanted to share them with you – or else we wanted to brag about it, I won't deny that's possible!
First, Cap'n Slappy and I are about to become immortalized as characters in a video game! "Pirates of the Burning Seas" is a massively multi-player online role playing game that's about to be released to the world by Flying Labs Software and Sony Online Entertainment. It's in Beta right now, and it's extremely cool – so much so that we are designating it the official online pirate game of International Talk Like a Pirate Day.
And the folks at Flying Labs got kind of caught up in the holiday and are adding two characters – Cap'n Slappy and Ol' Chumbucket! They're basing the images on photos of us! This is the sort of thing you only dream about, and it's happening!
There's a big Talk Like a Pirate Day party for the game in Seattle on Wednesday. We'll let you know more details when we get them. Our friends the Seattle Seafair Pirates are going to be there, we're told. And Slappy and I have recorded a video wishing the game developers well and thankin' 'em for this great honor. you can see the game and sign up to play online by going to:
http://talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html and scrolling to the botton where we link to the game's site.
An even BIGGER honor – literally much bigger – has also been announced. According to the publication Time Out New York, the Empire State Building will fly a sail (or something like it) from its rigging this Wednesday to celebrate Talk Like a Pirate day! The ESB management routinely offers tributes to events and people – red, white and blue lighting for Bastille Day, for instance. So this would certainly fit that pattern. And all we can say is – we can't be prouder about the whole thing! Talk Like a Pirate Day has reached new heights!
Where's North Dakota! Where's Louisiana?
The Calendaaarrrr! of events marking Talk Like a Pirate Day is as full of piratey fun as a dockside dive when the fleet's in! We've now got 115 events listed from 12 different countries, 28 states and an unprecedented number of online evens. You can find something going on near you by checking out:
But that cant' be all, can it? Can there really be more TLAPDay events going on in Oklahoma than in Florida? Where's North Dakota? Can Utah and Montana possibly be more piratey than Louisiana? That just doesn't seem possible, does it?
We're not limiting here to big sponsored events. If you're going out with a few friends to hoist an ale and shout "Aarrr!" or wearing your pirate finery to work or planning to annoy yer teachers by calling them "Cap'n" all day – we want to know about it!
We're getting to the point in our schedule where I'll not be able to spend much time on line – traveling, interviews and events – so if you've got anything planned, let us know by sending the news to Jezebel the Web Wench at:
She'll get 'em posted as fast as she can. Just remember that she also has a real job that she has to do from time to time, so it won't be instantaneous.
We're very excited about the coming week and all the things going on. Don't miss out on the fun! This Wednesday – Talk Like a Pirate!

holiday snaps (2): circles
More-or-less circles at any rate – from the vineyards, from the city and from the Sierra Nevada:
Second right at the bottom is a picture of the largest doughnut I have ever seen. It was in fact a sort of cross between a doughnut and an apple fritter and measured 6″ in diameter. We were challenged, but between us we managed it. If you want to try one (and it was very tasty) then take everyone you know to Los Banos Donuts and chip in to the total of $1.25 or thereabouts.
In the bottom right corner is a wagon wheel, a sort of bonus feature of a truly fabulous early American quilt exhibition which has just opened at the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek, CA. It was there to complement such beauties as this wagon wheel quilt:
For many reasons I find I can't be whole-heartedly enthusiastic about the Oregon trail and the settlement of the west, but I do admire a woman who can sew curves while travelling such a rough road. This was such a special exhibition that I shall have to give it, and my photos of it (they were very nice about photographs for non-commercial purposes), a separate post in due course. And if you are in the area you have until 23rd November to go and see it for real.

Cute, cute, cute quilt. I love the irregularity of the choice of fabric. Soooo cozy…
23 Sep 2008 7:42 pm
I like your pictures and wonder what ideas are brewing! I live at terminus of the Oregon trail, so I was exposed to a lot of museums and things about the settlement of the West, growing up. I'd have been one one of the ones that stayed behind and done without the land. Not a lick of pioneer spirit. (Pioneer blind optimism? Pioneer greed? Pioneer desperation?) One poor woman traveled the entire trail in a wooden crate, getting out only at night so the other members of the wagon train wouldn't know she was there; she was black. There's a replica of the crate at the End of the Trail Museum.

NOV 11, 2013 - Mother Jones
A Must Read - Share
In the spring of 2008, when Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were nearly tied in the Democratic presidential delegate count after the first slew of primaries and caucuses, an obscure provision of the nomination process suddenly became fodder for pundits to predict the outcome. "Forget hanging chads or swift boating; the buzzword this election cycle is 'superdelegates,'" US News and World Report wrote during the height of the campaign.
Those superdelegates—796 current and former Democratic politicians who could have brokered a deadlocked convention—were an afterthought in the

Delicious Chocolate Smoothie
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 0 mins
This recipe always cramps my sweet tooth and quenches my chocolate cravings. It is vegan and tastes like ice cream, although the texture is not the same. Depending on the size of the banana will depend on the thickness or "liquidy" consistency of the smoothie. Total calories - 206/230 Your option of peanut butter, but that's an extra 100 calories per Tablespoon
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 cup silk unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 3 frozen strawberries (choose between this and frozen fruit) or 1 tablespoon strawberry all-fruit spread (choose between this and frozen fruit)
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- I use a Magic Bullet, but a food processor works too. Cut the banana in one inch rings and throw in with all ingredients. Blend until thick and creamy.
Most Helpful
Great smoothie. More like a milkshake. I also love that it has no added sugar. Just the right amount of natural sweetness. Made for Spring 2013 PAC.

Alright our season is officially over. As die hard fans we all feel heart break from all the emotions we've invested all year, and I'm sure everyone has their own way of dealing with it...so how do you heal with a big loss?
Don't laugh, but I listen to sad songs, and try and let it all out.
