Awesome Stuff: Have A Cool Drink This Weekend
from the you-deserve-one deptFor this week's awesome stuff post, we're going to suggest it's about time you kicked back and had a cool drink. You deserve it. Thankfully, there are a bunch of crowdfunding projects to help you make that cool drink a reality.
- First up, The Ice Baller, for those of you who think your ice cubes are too cloudy, too small, and too... cubed. It's a device designed to make larger, clear, round ice balls. Pretty self explanatory.
- Ice is so last century. How about some ChillBottles -- little stainless steel refreezable bottle-shaped devices to cool down your drinks. They even come in a small "six pack" stainless steel case that will keep the bottles cool outside of the freezer. This reminds me of another Kickstarter project -- called pucs which closed a couple weeks ago. That one was much more popular, but the ChillBottles are still available (and cheaper).
- Okay, maybe you shouldn't just be thinking about what to put inside your drink to cool it down. Some designers have come up with a funky looking device called TurboCool to (they claim) quickly cool down any canned drink. I have to admit that I'm not sure I understand how or why this works, but it's basically a cannister in which you put water & ice, and then your can, and you pump the top so the can spins. Sort of the same functionality as a salad spinner. I can see how this would get the drink marginally cooler faster, but still seems like it would take a while to get a drink really cool.
- Finally, what good is a cool drink if the drink isn't very good. Rejigger seems like an easier way of making mixed drinks without having to carefully measure each component. Basically, it's a cup with three separate compartments, sized to the usual different ratio of "parts" in various classic drinks. Just pour in the right liquids to the right ratio slots, and you've got a quick mixed drink.

You've seen ladies cruising the streets carrying purses that aren't so much purses as they are duffel bags. Sometimes with good reason! People got a lot stuff to lug around. Following the same train of thought, there's a murse that's inspired by hardcore military gear.
Modeled after a paratrooper's carryall, the Civvy Kit Bag by Goruck is a 15 gallon abyss in which to dump anything you could ever want to carry around over your shoulder and then some: The bag's made of tough, water-resistant Cordura fabric and rated for up to 400 pounds of gear—or laundry, or whatever. Because, you know, man things are heavy. Why should the ladies have all the fun? [Goruck via Uncrate]

Committee Seeks New Tennis Court Plans
ST. MARYS — After holding a meeting Wednesday evening, a local school official will be requesting new architectural plans regarding tennis courts.
The St. Marys Board of Education's Building and Grounds Committee met to discuss options about the district's tennis courts during a meeting Tuesday at the district offices.
Business Manager Kurt Kuffner presented multiple options to the committee during the meeting — options such as resurfacing the current complex with a new material, continuing basic court reconditioning and building a new complex at the high school-middle school building.
"I say we do what we can to get them to the new site, that's my opinion," Memorial High School Principal Dave Lewis said. "As far as configuration and how many and everything — I just think the more we can do out at the new site, the better. I think any money we sink in down at the old site is a waste."
Board Member Rees McKee noted in the past the board spent between $40,000 to $50,000 on the courts at the current site of the tennis complexes near Skip Baughman Stadium.
"Now we're back to filling cracks every year," McKee said. "I'm not for spending any money down there. Those things have been a nightmare."
McKee added the current courts are not sitting on a stable base.
"It's unsuitable conditions for what it's intended to be," Board Member Ralph Wiley said. "I'm against spending any money on a surface system just because the other conditions are going to continue to exist — it's a one-year band-aid in my eyes because if cracks are reappearing annually, we go that first year, then this cracking and the infiltration we have are going to get worse."
The option of moving the courts to the new building would also enable the physical education classes to utilize the courts, which they aren't able to do currently.
"Really with the setup we have now, the kids are really missing out as far as the phys ed program, and that's an integral part of the curriculum, and it's not practical to bus the kids back and forth for phys ed to the tennis courts," Superintendent Jerry Skiver said.
The options eventually were narrowed down to either having six courts all in a row or two sets of three courts staggered, with both options being located at the high school-middle school complex. Committee members were concerned with the staggered option's proximity to State Route 66.
"I get a little bit leery about (that one)," Spencer said. "That scares me."
The preliminary estimate for the new, staggered six court tennis complex at the new building is approximately $368,000, but committee members requested Kuffner call the architects, MSA Sport, today requesting new drawings that would feature six courts in a row, adjacent to the student parking lot on the high school side of the building, with the spacing between courts depicted in the staggered option, fencing options and a reduced contingency amount.
Committee members set up another meeting, to be held at 4 p.m. Wednesday at the district offices, to discuss the new design.

Much has been written about ClioSofts SOS product. In summary, its a great product for data and IP management and it enables companies to manage design complexity across multiple, geographical dispersed design teams. I saw this put into practice in my previous job, where one of our customers, a large semiconductor IC provider, was using ClioSoft with our EDA products to simultaneously work on the same design using teams located in Japan, Europe and the United States. In that case, the task was somewhat simplified by the fact that all of those team were using tools from one EDA vendor. None the less, it was a powerful statement as to the capabilities that ClioSoft provided.
In the Qorvo case, they are doing RF system design using multiple IC technologies all assembled onto a 4 to 10-layer laminate that includes matching components embedded in the laminate for each die. Qorvo teams are dispersed across multiple locations around the world with some of those teams using Cadences Virtuoso design environment while others are using Keysights ADS environment.
At least three things had to happen to make this flow possible.
- Cadence had to integrate with ClioSoft SOS first versions of this were released in 2001, not too long after ClioSofts founding in 1997.
- Keysight had to integrate with ClioSoft SOS first versions of this were released in 2012.
- Lastly, ClioSoft recently did some interoperability work around OpenAccess (which was already being used by both Cadence and Keysight) to enable the two different EDA vendors to both read and write the same OpenAccess meta-data. This last step enabled true interoperability by giving both systems the same understanding about all of the data being shared.
Data sharing was made much simpler by the fact that both Cadence and Keysight were using the same OpenAccess databases for their design repositories. However, as anyone who has worked with OpenAccess knows, it takes more to interoperate than simply being able to read and write OpenAccess data. The ability to share a common understanding of what is in the database makes all the difference in the world and ClioSofts work to codify this meta-data was a key component to making this interoperability flow work. Once this was in place, the Qorvo design teams were able to seamlessly move back and forth between Virtuoso and ADS while taking advantage of all of the ClioSoft data management capabilities.
The beauty for Qorvo is that they are able to use ClioSoft SOS to manage and share their RF work across all their various design sites while interoperating between Cadence Virtuoso and Keysight ADS. Another key feature in this setup is that SOS is fairly technology agnostic as seen by the fact that Qorvo is managing multiple IC technologies in addition to laminate substrates. The impact of this is that Qorvo is able to hierarchically build designs using these different technologies and then simulate them together at the system level.
Another nice feature of this setup is that Qorvo can use SOSs capabilities to seed the workspaces of each of their design groups. This includes common libraries, IPs, test benches, scripts and data files. Even though the teams are in different geographies, they all have access to a consistent design environment that is kept up to date by design management policies. Designers can selectively pull what they need, but having ready-made setups available saves time and goes a long way toward eliminating simple but critical errors like using out-of-date test benches or high level models that dont match their lower level implementations.
The webinar did a nice job of explaining the desire and need for data and IP management and the presenters did a good job of showing how easy it was to move back and forth between the tool sets integrated with ClioSofts SOS7. Key features for Qorvos in this heterogeneous environment included revision control of IP and designs, team collaboration across multiple sites, archiving of design revisions and IP management that is used to trace IP usage in each of their tape-outs. This last item can come in handy when issues are found in an IP block and you need to know which designs may be affected by those issues. Additionally, having archival and versioning control also enables downstream teams such as product and test engineering to have easy access to design data without the need to hunt down design engineers who have moved on to different projects.
Which brings up the final point of this webinar, which is that data management really needs to be done across the entire design and manufacturing flow, including requirements and specifications, logic design and test bench generation, IC and laminate layout, tape-out revision control, packaging revisions, and back annotation of empirical data from fabricated parts. These systems are complex and require good data management practices to ensure success and Qorvo found that ClioSoft SOS was the platform that worked for them.

When the Sept. 11 attacks turned much of Lower Manhattan to rubble 10 years ago, many financial firms in the area scrambled to find places to operate outside of the dense Wall Street area, leaving its future as the financial center of the world uncertain. When would the big banks return? Did it make sense to ever return?
Yet there's something about Lower Manhattan that has made it hard for many firms to call anywhere else home. Maybe it's the grandeur of Wall Street—being part of the financial capital of the world, where deals are made and broken, and economies shaken.
A decade later, Wall Street is thriving again. Many said it was their loyalty to Lower Manhattan that drove them to either stay or rebuild, and their stories of survival and rebirth have made them and Wall Street stronger than ever.
As part of our coverage of the 10-year anniversary, we looked at 12 of the biggest Wall Street firms to see what made them decide to stay or leave. In some cases, the firms responded with a statement about how 9/11 has affected them.
So who's on Wall Street now? Click ahead.

Since its inception in 1978, the Theban Mapping Project (TMP, now based at the American University in Cairo) has been working to prepare a comprehensive archaeological database of Thebes. With its thousands of tombs and temples, Thebes is one of the world's most important archaeological zones. Sadly, however, it has not fared well over the years. Treasure-hunters and curio-seekers plundered it in the past; pollution, rising ground water, and mass-tourism threaten it in the present. Even early archaeologists destroyed valuable information in their search for museum-quality pieces.
Today, however, we realize that the monuments of Thebes are a finite resource. If we fail to protect and monitor them, they will vanish, and we and our descendants will all be the poorer. The TMP believes that the first and most essential step in preserving this heritage is a detailed map and database of every archaeological, geological, and ethnographic feature in Thebes. Only when these are available can sensible plans be made for tourism, conservation, and further study.
During the last decade, the TMP has concentrated on the Valley of the Kings. Modern surveying techniques were used to measure its tombs. From the data collected, the TMP is preparing 3-D computer models of the tombs. And of course, the TMP is continuing its excavation of KV 5. For the TMP staff, sharing their work with the interested public is just as important as what they do in the field. This has been done through a series of publications and this growing website.
Learn in more detail about the history of the TMP from its beginnings in 1978 and discover how we carry out different aspects of our work.

Don't wait for me! I'm not gonna come up with any solutions, no proposals, no promises, no nuttin. How could I, what do you think? Do you live the stupid idea that I write a blog to convince you? Are you nuts? I'm writing this because of pure and simple despair. Not because I know anything, not because have anything to offer. I'm not writing this thing in order to stay human, or in order to fence myself off the brink of madness. No, I'm very happily sane and normal. I hate showings, sketches, drafts, modesty! Showings are a cry for help. No to autonomy, no to DIY, no to management. Big no to production houses that tell you what to do! Insist – insist on the right for the independent artist to apply for subsidy. No to autonomy, be dependent, be without ties, but rely on everything. Arbitrary is already here. Be absolutely naïve and approach the work without the slightest defense. Say no – shout curses in their direction – – to those that consider minimal cool. It isn't, it's conservative, graphic designerish, male, Christian, heteronormative and stabilizing. It is another time now – arbitrary doo-ip doo-ip – – you aren't making revolts by insisting on keeping it minimal, on staying on your spot – on reading Deleuze, or categorically not doing it. There is no time for revolution, no moment of ripe, time for harvest.
Fuck minimalism, it has no, nothing, nada, zilch capacity in 2010, and was never admirable. It was necessary at some point, as an act self-castrating of the one who you were not, but it was never transforming anything what-so-ever. No no, it only made the other, the dominant discourse look even more ridiculous. Minimal is the music of architects, it's the music for those whose name is Francis but call themselves Frank, it's music for hard on the outside and gooey on the inside (just like me). Minimal is for people, who when taking somebody home for a one night stand excuse oneself for the mess in the apartment. Minimal is for those who find it weird to masturbate fantasizing about things that don't exist, or like fuckin a multi-vaginal mother dragon instead of a suburban MILF or the local plumber. Minimal is for selling: yeah, even if it's boring, i.e. diverse, like a Swiss army knife it's one thing and that's always something that stupid folks find appealing. Minimal is for people that make fresh pasta on Saturday afternoons and can talk for hours about their espresso machines. – SHIVER –
Go romantic. Go go go. Go Rom-a'n-tique. Yes, exactly minimal is for guys who won't admit. But fuck them, we have nothing to defend, we engage in what others' call shame. We don't care if it's kitsch, tacky, OTT or whatever we just can't stop our fanatic tour the force into the depth of sensation, sentiment, atmosphere, ambiance – but fuck quality, never quality – this is about amount, immeasurable amount. Long live New York Dolls, all over the place. Embarrassing and overwhelming. Nothing well balanced, tempered, sympathetic, dramaturgically correct – "continuous transformation" who the hell invented that. Oh no, don't misunderstand me – – continuous transformation is like secretly believing in God but cursing him on a daily basis. Continuous transformation is like being afraid of the dramaturge abandoning ship. Nothing with those sexy attributes will ever make into any best of… except mediocre. Nothing of such will make it into contemporary. What's contemporary dance? What you are talking about, there is none! And if there were you wouldn't recognize it. You know, just like Andy Warhol insisted on wanting to be a machine but obsessed about being human, minimalism is precisely the same gööööö gesture, actually desperately affirming life. Stop that, no it's not a time to convert to some belief system, there is only one solution: to become a Finnish science-fiction writer called Hannu – and how easy is that?
Dance is not about the affirmation of life, not about the pleasure of investing in the endless possibilities of a join. And btw stop talking about modernism with that double tone, like as if it was the time when everything was so great but you can't allow yourself. Just adore it, worship it. Stop that astanga shit you are up to and go modernism. Be a sucker for modernism, but not for what it was but for what it can make us now. Don't look back, never! Bring the back-up to speed, here and now, face the future and take off your glasses. Fuckin' drop em, it's getting hot in here. Round asses, wet hair. Be a romantic and change the word, be a sucker for modernism and stay dirty. It's only Zizek that considers Deleuze pre-Felix work misunderstood and for the wrong reason. We roll around in it searching for the G-spot and we refuse duos, couple dance and submit to Artaud without a second's consideration of Derrida. And we are totally obsessed with materiality as much as we despise architecture. That's were incommensurability lays dormant, our job is just to mess it up. Let's go out there into the desert and lateralize – – we live like foxes [avoid the wolves, they epitomize the flock] and move like swarms. We are men without bodies, tentacles attached directly to our heads, we live with the octopuses of the sand – digging canals, organizing new surfaces, we are problematised ontology: unthinkable without surprise. We are very very old, ancient like smoke: weird ass novum.

Dany Sabourin
Dany Sabourin was a well travelled journeyman goaltender who will always be remembered for his shocking appearance in the 2007 playoffs.
On May 3rd in 2007, Vancouver Canucks backup backstop Dany Sabourin surprised everyone, including GM Dave Nonis and especially the fans, by starting the overtime period against the Anaheim Ducks in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals in place of netminder Roberto Luongo.
Originally thought to be an equipment issue, Luongo later revealed his absence was due to untimely diarrhea. A subsequent tweet and explanation on CBC's After Hours confirmed that Lou was in the loo.
Anaheim beat Vancouver 2-1 in double overtime, taking the series 4-1
He made five saves at the beginning of that hectic first overtime until Luongo could get back in.
"[Rick] Bowness came up to me and said put your helmet on, put your glove on, you're going in," Sabourin said.
"It was surprising. But he had a problem so we had no choice."
Sabourin said he felt proud about his performance, during which he kept his head clear.
"I didn't want to get too deep in my net and it worked," Sabourin said.
He was in the game for 3:34 until Luongo came back.
As he was coming back into the game, Luongo passed by Sabourin and shared some words for his backup.
"He said, 'I'm sorry to put you in that spot,' " Sabourin said. "He said it in French and he said it fast. I knew he said it fast because he had to get back into the net."
Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said he was impressed with the way Sabourin handled the situation.
"It wasn't an easy situation to put him in, we told him just three or four minutes before that he was going in," Vigneault said. "We told him something was wrong. I really liked Roberto's reaction because he knew he had put his buddy in a tough spot."
Sabourin turned his brief appearance into a two year contract as Pittsburgh's back-up goaltender.

Big 12 Morning Five: 11.17.11 EditionPosted by dnspewak on November 17th, 2011
- Most signings across the Big 12 this week have been only formalities, but in Kansas' case, the program picked up a new commitment in forward Landen Lucas. According to Self, Lucas might be the next Darnell Jackson. If you'll remember, Jackson started for KU's 2008 National Championship squad and even led that extremely talented team in rebounding. If Lucas ever grows into the kind of player Jackson was his senior season, then Jayhawk fans should be more than thrilled.
- For the first time in 35 games, Iowa State's Scott Christopherson failed to make a three-point basket in a five-point loss to Drake earlier this week. That streak was a school record, and without Christopherson's contributions, ISU looked lost offensively. Most of his team struggled shooting the ball from the perimeter as well, and it appears the Cyclones with all their new players have a lot of work to do this winter. Of course, with four transfers playing big minutes, an acclimation period has to be expected.
- The Associated Press reports the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee will keep a Big 12 flavor, as Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione will replace former league commissioner Dan Beebe on the panel. Castiglione, also a former AD at Missouri, will serve until the end of the 2012-13 season. He'll now have the difficult task of helping select which at-large teams make the NCAA Tournament, so hopefully he's ready to face the inevitable criticism.
- It's hard to use just one word to describe Missouri's Kim English. He's known more for his Twitter and his post-game quotes than his game these days. After a productive freshman year in 2008-09, English then led the team in scoring as a sophomore before falling flat as a junior. Last season, he struggled in almost every facet of his game, which is why his pleasantly surprising start is good news for Tiger fans. We'll hold off judgment until MU faces better competition, but English at least looks much more comfortable this season.
- Since many of us stayed up all night to watch basketball during ESPN's Tip-Off Marathon, the thought of next year's event is a little unsettling. We're tired and sleep-deprived, that's all. But Texas Tech coach Billy Gillispie has a plea: he wants to be part of the event in 2012. Gillispie even offered to play at 3 AM CST, which is normally the time slot reserved for Hawaii. If Gillispie wants to play at three o'clock in the morning, then more power to him. It might be a difficult sell for his college-aged players, though.

Art Brokerage: Pino Italian Artist: b. 1939-2010. Pino Daeni's canvases elicit feelings of warmth, nostalgia, love and family. His paintings are often set on vibrantly sunny beaches, typically in the Mediterranean where he grew up. Pino (born Giuseppe Dangelico in Italy) is noted for his exceptional ability to capture the movements and expressions of his subjects, a talent which has brought him private commissions to do portraits. Pino's alter ego, a young boy surrounded by beautiful women, is found in various states of emotion ranging from adoration to isolation. Many of Pino's characters are frequently depicted inhabiting sensuous boudoirs or dressing rooms, in anticipation of their husband or lovers. Art Brokerage has several clients wishing to purchase well priced original Pino paintings.

During the first half of the 20th century, there was concentrated in New York City a group of lawyers whose public role and influence marked them as a sort of aristocracy in public affairs. These lawyers were leaders of an active "good government" movement and were themselves often called on to assume important positions in government at the local, state, and national levels. Thomas D. Thacher was a member of this aristocracy. His time as an Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals was preceded by a notable career in private practice at the distinguished law firm founded by his father and also by prodigious service in several and various important public positions.
Thomas Day Thacher was born September 10, 1881, in Tenafly, New Jersey. His middle name, Day, recorded that he was, through his father, a great-grandson of Jeremiah Day, president of Yale College from 1817 to 1846. Judge Thacher's father, Thomas Thacher, was a founding member in 1884 of the New York law firm that became Simpson Thacher & Bartlett. His mother, Sarah McCullogh Green Thacher, was the daughter of Ashbel Green of Alexander & Green, the firm with which Judge Thacher's father had previously been associated.1
Thacher obtained his preliminary education at Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut, and Phillips Andover Academy. He then followed the family tradition and attended Yale College, graduating in 1904. He also attended Yale Law School for two years and was admitted to the New York bar in 1906. Later in his career, he continued his family's dedicated service to Yale. Judge Thacher's father had been a founder and the first president of the Yale Club of New York City, worked for many years for Yale's alumni fund, which he had also helped to found, and taught corporations law at Yale Law School for some 10 years. Judge Thacher was of course also a member of the Yale Club, and was moreover a Fellow of the Yale Corporation from 1931 to 1949 and served Yale in other ways.2
Judge Thacher began his legal career at his father's law firm. He was known there at that time as "T.D." to distinguish him from his father Thomas and his uncle Alfred B., also a partner at the firm.3 Judge Thacher continued all his life to be associated with Simpson Thacher and he developed a considerable reputation in the profession. But Thacher made his name in the course of several important interruptions from private practice.
Thacher began in public service quite early on. Henry L. Stimson had recently been appointed by the Theodore Roosevelt administration to be U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and was building a reputation as an active antitrust prosecutor. Stimson was also notable in this office for hiring very talented young lawyers. Felix Frankfurter, who had been first in his class for all three years at Harvard Law School, was one such lawyer in Stimson's office. Thacher was another: he was Assistant U.S. Attorney in 1907 and 1908 and was engaged as Special Assistant U.S. Attorney in the prosecution of customs fraud in 1909 and 1910. Thacher returned to private practice and was admitted to partnership at Simpson Thacher in 1914.4
In 1917 and 1918, Thacher participated in the American Red Cross Mission to Russia. The mission, composed of eminent men and physicians led by copper financier William Boyce Thompson, traveled to Russia in the summer of 1917 in an attempt to organize relief efforts. It was likely the hope of the participants that such aid might weaken the Bolshevik faction. Thacher, who was given the rank of major in the mission and was thereafter sometimes referred to as Major Thacher, was still in Russia at the time of the Bolshevik takeover in November. He later reported that the mission was able to obtain the cooperation and protection of the Bolshevik government in order to continue the delivery of food and aid in Russia and, through Russia and the Ukraine, also to Romania; the mission performed such distributions at some risk.5
Thacher was a lifelong Republican and made his opposition to Communism quite clear when addressing the subject. But when he and many of the other officers of the Red Cross Mission returned to America, they spoke in favor of resuming normal political and trade relations with the new regime in Russia and in favor of humanitarian aid. The rationale propounded by Thacher and the others was that the new Communist regime would be more likely to fail if it could not blame the West for the deprivation of its people. At a non-partisan discussion at New York's Republican Club in early 1919, he explained:
"I am convinced that if the Soviet Government under its present leadership is compelled to face the necessities of life and to meet the obligation of providing for the welfare of its own people, the experiment of Bolshevism will quickly fail, and in failing because of its inherent weakness will be dead for all the ages."6
Thacher later expanded this argument in an article published in the Annals of the American Academy of Political Science. Relief of the people's suffering in the Soviet lands and the restoration of trade were necessary steps, he believed, toward the defeat of the Bolshevik regime.7
These proposals were not uncontroversial. Others thought that the "aid and trade" approach would only serve to plant the Bolshevik regime more firmly in Russia. Some even referred to such proposals as a sort of treachery and considered the proponents traitors. Thacher was himself accused implicitly of such treachery. In mid-1919, a committee of the New York State Senate held a hearing to consider materials seized in the raid of a Soviet bureau in New York. The American mailing list of the bureau was read into the record and included Thacher, as well as William Boyce Thompson and Raymond Robbins, also of the Red Cross Mission. The committee's counsel referred to the names on the mailing list as "the cream of Reds and apologists for radical propaganda."8 In fact, some critics have continued through the generations to find a sort of treachery in the effort from within the American establishment to promote trade relations with the new Bolshevik regime and have even focused specifically on the activities of members of the Red Cross Mission.9
In 1925, after several more years of private practice, Thacher was nominated by President Calvin Coolidge to the seat on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York that was vacated by Judge Learned Hand when he was elevated to the Second Circuit. As a federal judge in the 1920s, Thacher achieved a reputation for his "independence" in Prohibition enforcement cases. When Mabel Walker Willebrandt, Assistant Attorney General in charge of the federal government's prosecution of Prohibition cases, began to obtain padlock injunctions not only following trial but as temporary remedies in advance of trial, a defendant club-owner in a test case argued in 1928 that the procedure was a violation of due process protections. Judge Thacher said on the bench that the procedure used by Mrs. Willebrandt was "shocking." Judge Thacher refused the Government's request for an adjournment so that briefs could be filed and instead gave his ruling from the bench granting the defendant's request to have the padlocks removed.10 Also in 1928, Judge Thacher won praise from conservatives when he refused to grant a protective injunction to radicals who had printed and used so-called "Sandino stamps" that protested U.S. intervention in Nicaragua.11
In 1929, Judge Learned Hand recommended through channels that President Coolidge nominate Judge Thacher to be elevated to the Second Circuit, but the appointment was not made.12 Instead, in 1929 Judge Thacher became increasingly engaged in one of the significant projects of his career: investigation and reform of the bankruptcy system. There were at that time sensational disclosures in the Southern District of serious abuses and malpractice in the administration of bankruptcies. Scandals involving such abuses as embezzlement or influence-peddling led eventually to the disbarments of several lawyers, some ordered by Judge Thacher, to suicides and even to the resignation of another federal judge at the Southern District under pressure from Representative Fiorello H. LaGuardia in Congress. As the scope of the problem began to emerge, an extensive inquiry was arranged by the Southern District that would be presided over by Judge Thacher and involve local Bar associations as well as the U.S. Attorney. Under Judge Thacher's direction, Colonel William J. Donovan, counsel to the bar associations, was in charge of the extensive investigation that involved thousands of witnesses, lengthy public hearings, numerous questionnaires and field studies in six cities and also in Canada and England. Judge Thacher himself traveled to England and spent two months observing the operation of the bankruptcy system there; he was favorably impressed by the English bankruptcy law's emphasis on rehabilitation rather than liquidation and by the effectiveness of court supervision. The inquiry resulted in a report in March 1930, referred to as the Donovan Report, which included recommendations for "radical changes" in the bankruptcy law and which was submitted to the court and, in 1931, also to Congress.13
It was at this time that President Herbert Hoover nominated Judge Thacher to be U.S. Solicitor General. The appointment was a surprise to many because it was not expected that a federal judge would be a candidate for the position. The press speculated that Judge Thacher had been tempted away from the security of his judgeship by the exciting prospect of advocating the Government's cause before the Supreme Court.14 The position of Solicitor General has indeed often been referred to as the "Tenth Justice."
When Judge Thacher became Solicitor General in June 1930, the troubles of the bankruptcy system were clearly still foremost in his mind. He gave an address to the ABA on the Donovan report, which had also become the subject of a scholarly debate. Judge Thacher convinced the President of the necessity of a larger-scale, national investigation of the issue; with bankruptcies now on the rise, the fair and efficient functioning of the bankruptcy system was urgently important. The new inquiry was directed by Judge Thacher, with much of the work performed by Lloyd K. Garrison, who had been a staff member of the Donovan inquiry. Among other things, the new inquiry was interested in the plight of wage earners who might be forced to file bankruptcy in order to protect their livelihood from wage attachment or garnishment, but who often undertook staggering burdens in order to avoid the stigma of bankruptcy by borrowing large amounts from expensive licensed or unlicensed lenders, i.e., from "loan sharks."
The report that resulted from this larger inquiry was submitted to Congress by Thacher and Garrison in early 1932 along with a message from the President. Thacher and Garrison also drafted legislation, known as the Hastings-Michener Bill, that proponents and critics described as "revolutionary." Congress immediately held extensive committee hearings, but did not enact the legislation. In early 1933, President Hoover pressed for and obtained enactment of many of the reforms as emergency legislation. The reforms streamlined bankruptcy proceedings and provided for effective court supervision. They also provided for amortization payment plans for wage earners, a system that would be improved on later.15
Thacher returned to private practice in New York in 1933 and was soon elected president of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York. He appointed to City Bar committees several prominent lawyers, including Henry L. Stimson and Samuel Seabury.16 He also became deeply involved in the Fusion movement's effort to elect LaGuardia mayor of New York City in November 1933. He was among the speakers, along with LaGuardia, Seabury, Robert Moses and others, at a huge pre-election rally in Madison Square Garden, promoting a Fusion victory not simply as a one-time triumph over the Tammany Hall organization, but as a chance for fundamental changes in City government.17
Upon LaGuardia's election, the reformers pushed for the fundamental changes in the form of a new City Charter, one of the chief goals of the Fusion movement. A charter revision commission, led by former Governor Alfred E. Smith and Seabury, was created for the City by the State Legislature early in 1934, but it resulted in a split. At Mayor LaGuardia's urging, the Legislature, in an emergency vote, abolished the existing commission and authorized the Mayor to appoint a smaller commission with plenary powers to revise the City's cumbersome charter. LaGuardia appointed nine commissioners to be led by Thacher as chairman.18 This was to be Thacher's most prominent public role. His Charter Revision Commission held public hearings and worked assiduously for more than a year to design a more efficient and transparent City government regulated by a more streamlined organic law. The new Charter brought into existence the basic structure of New York City government that is familiar today. The new features included: in place of the old Board of Aldermen, a relatively small City Council in which the legislative power was concentrated; a City Planning Commission; and codification of laws relating to the City in a separate Administrative Code.19
Thacher campaigned tirelessly for the new Charter, which was attacked by various interests, especially in the Democratic Party organization. A special point of contention for the opponents was the proposed City Planning Commission, which they described as a "super-government" that would deprive the citizenry and the Boroughs of their traditional roles.20 Within days after the final draft was submitted in August 1936, a lawsuit was filed asserting that the State Legislature lacked the constitutional authority to provide for the framing of a new Charter and for its submission for approval by City voters. After Kings County Supreme Court struck the measure from the ballot, an appeal was taken to the Court of Appeals where Thacher himself argued for the Charter Revision Commission. The Court of Appeals ruled that the procedure used was permitted by constitutional and statutory "Home Rule" provisions (Mooney v. Cohen (272 NY 33 [Oct. 1936, Crane, Ch.J.], mod 272 NY 597 [Oct. 1936]).21
As election day approached, it was expected that 1936 would be a good year for the Democrats, but the reformers were optimistic and believed that submitting the issue at a general rather than special election would increase the proportion of support. Thacher himself spoke very frequently on radio and published an extensive article in the New York Times defending the new Charter. The reformers were victorious when the new Charter was adopted by a large majority. Also adopted was a companion proposal to elect City Council members by a system of proportional representation, a system that was used in several election cycles until an amendment was adopted more than ten years later.22
Thacher continued to participate in the "informal cabinet" of Fusion members and other reformers that was advising Mayor LaGuardia.23 Even as the new Charter was being celebrated, Thacher campaigned actively for the reelection of LaGuardia in 1937 as necessary to defend the reforms in the new Charter from political operators. He told the crowd at a testimonial dinner for the Charter Revision Commission:
"Even now they are planning to exploit or wreck this instrument of public government. They would as soon kill the child after it has been born as they would before election."24
Thacher was also involved in opposing a rebellion within Republican ranks against LaGuardia.25 The Mayor was reelected and the new Charter, its future now secured, went into effect at the beginning of 1938 along with the Administrative Code, which the State Legislature approved after much wrangling.26
Thacher's public role was not limited to or by his association with Mayor LaGuardia's reform government. In 1937, he was one of a special committee of the New York County Lawyers Association, headed by Seabury, that opposed President Franklin D. Roosevelt's court-packing plan.27 In 1939, he was twice appointed to direct investigations into sensational charges of judicial misconduct.28 And Thacher was also quite willing to act against the Mayor's sometimes impulsive behavior. In 1939, as a feud was brewing between the Mayor and Governor Herbert Lehman, the Mayor decided to be counted among opponents to the elevation of Associate Judge Irving Lehman, the Governor's brother, to Chief Judge.29 The Mayor had criticized the Court of Appeals as an institution out of touch with New York City's problems and its need for greater home rule. The Mayor now seized on the opposition to Judge Lehman's elevation on the grounds that two brothers should not head two branches of State government and the fear among some Republicans that the elevation would be followed by a partisan candidacy for the vacant Associate Judge seat. The Mayor floated rumors that he himself might be a candidate for election as Chief Judge. But the Mayor's advisors, Thacher prominent among them, persuaded him to discontinue his ploy, arguing especially that there was in the opposition to Lehman's elevation a tacit appeal to anti-Semitism.30
As Mayor LaGuardia's extended term progressed, some tensions were revealed between him and his Fusion supporters. In 1940, after many members of his "informal cabinet," including Thacher, had supported the Republican candidate for president, the Mayor, who supported President Roosevelt, sent them a letter, whose contents were later published, notifying them that he would not run for reelection and that the burden of maintaining reform would fall on them.31 But such tensions were overcome and when the Mayor sought a third term, Thacher headed a lawyers' committee for the campaign. In early 1943, the Mayor appointed Thacher to fill the position of the City's Corporation Counsel who had left the office to be an Army officer. It was also understood that Thacher was the Mayor's choice for the position of Deputy Mayor if the Mayor himself should be called into the armed services.32
Within several weeks of Judge Thacher's assumption of his duties as Corporation Counsel, it was made known that Governor Thomas E. Dewey was considering appointing him to fill the vacancy on the Court of Appeals created by the retirement of Judge Edward R. Finch.33 The Governor was also considering Charles Evans Hughes, Jr., son of the former Chief Justice and Thacher's colleague in New York City's good government movement. In May 1943, the Governor named Judge Thacher to the vacant seat, describing him as "the most distinguished lawyer engaged in the private practice of law in this State."34 The New York Times said of the appointment:
"It will be the crowning achievement of a life rich in honors. Yet we shall be loath here to lose him. He is one of our most useful citizens."35
Since Judge Finch had been one of two Republicans on the Court, Thacher's appointment made no change to the balance of party affiliations. Judge Thacher was later cross-endorsed by all major parties for election and was elected to a full term on the Court.
Judge Thacher retired from the Court in 1948 because of failing health and returned to his law practice. Retirement remarks appear at 298 NY vii (1940).
Thacher was married to Eunice Burrall in 1907 and had three children. His wife died in 1943 only ten days after Judge Thacher's appointment as Corporation Counsel had been announced and not long before he was appointed to the Court of Appeals.36 Judge Thacher married the former Mrs. Eleanor Morris Lloyd in 1945. He died in 1950. An In Memoriam appears at 301 NY vii (1950). Yale University keeps his papers.

UNA Alcohol Awareness and Education
The University of North Alabama recognizes that the use of alcohol and other drugs can significantly interfere with student success and may pose a serious threat to the health and well-being of the members of its community.
In an effort to address this issue and to maintain a safe and educational learning environment, all first-year students complete AlcoholEdu for College, an online alcohol education course. The course was designed for population-level, primary prevention. Its personalized approach provides an experience that impacts both individual behavior and campus culture. Research shows that the course:
- Motivates behavior change
- Resets unrealistic expectations about the effects of alcohol
- Links choices about drinking to academic and personal success
- Helps students practice safer decision-making
- Engages students to create a healthier campus community
The course includes three surveys that measure alcohol-related attitudes and behaviors. The results from the data collected in the course surveys are used in planning programs and services to better educate students about the effects of alcohol and how to make well-informed decisions about alcohol use. Course data also informs the annual Social Norms Campaign, "I Choose the Norm."

The 158,000 increase followed a revised 114,000 gain in September, data from the Roseland, New Jersey-based ADP Research Institute showed today. This is the first ADP report derived using a larger sample and new methodology.
Quicker job creation suggests confidence among businesses is holding up in the face of the so-called fiscal cliff, an onslaught of tax increases and spending cuts in place for next year should Congress fail to act. A Labor Department report tomorrow may show private payrolls increased by 124,000 in October while the unemployment rate rose to 7.9 percent, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey.
"October is a continuation of the labor market's somewhat better performance in the third quarter," Stuart Hoffman, chief economist at PNC Financial Services Group Inc. in Pittsburgh, said before the report. "If jobs are going to grow in the fourth quarter at a pace similar to the third, we're going to have 2 percent GDP growth, which seems to be the groove that we have worn into the economy."
The median forecast of 37 economists surveyed by Bloomberg projected a 131,000 advance. Estimates ranged from 80,000 to 170,000. The previous methodology showed a gain of 162,000 jobs in September.
Moody's Analytics
Today's report represents a break from the way ADP had calculated employment figures dating back to 2001. Today also marks the first joint release with Moody's Analytics Inc. of West Chester, Pennsylvania. ADP had previously collaborated with Macroeconomic Advisers LLC of St. Louis.
The report now draws on data from 406,000 of Automatic Data Processing Inc.'s corporate customers, up from the 344,000 used in the prior method. Those customers employ 23 million workers, or more than 20 percent of all non-government staff, ADP said in press release announcing the changes on Oct. 24.
Additionally, ADP and Moody's said the new methodology they developed will better align their figures with those from the Labor Department's monthly payroll report. The methodology uses data from ADP customers, the Labor Department and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia's Aruoba-Diebold-Scotti Business Conditions Index. ADP said its numbers should correlate most closely with the final, revised Labor Department figures, rather than those initially released at the beginning of the month.
Construction Jobs
Goods-producing industries, which include manufacturers and construction companies, increased their headcounts by 14,000, today's ADP figures showed. Construction employment rose by 23,000, while factory employment dropped 8,000.
Service providers added 144,000 new jobs. Businesses involved in financial activities boosted staff by 9,000, professional and business services increased headcount by 35,000 and trade, transportation and utilities added 24,000 more workers.
Companies employing 500 or more workers added 81,000 new jobs in October. Employment at medium-sized businesses, with 50 to 499 workers, rose 27,000, and by 50,000 at small companies, ADP said.
Tomorrow's Labor Department report may show overall hiring including government jobs rose 125,000 last month after rising 114,000 in October, according to the Bloomberg survey median.

I pic has a nice feel to it but it seems that the light is coming from the 'viewer' directly to the subject. Kinda like we're sitting next to him shining a torch at him (which is fine). However, I think this might take away some of the dimension, making the pic seem a bit 2D (like DOH! the monitor screen is 2D, but I guess you know what I mean ). Try and set up a scene for a quick portrait with as dynamic a lighting setup as you like and try doing some variations (even on the same subject).

Cabrera, Scherzer, Iglesias up for BBWAA awards
DETROIT -- Get ready for another busy week in the Tigers' offseason. This time, however, they won't be looking for a manager. They'll be looking for hardware, and a historic sweep of it.
As expected, the Tigers will have finalists in all three player categories for the major end-of-season awards, as revealed Tuesday on MLB Network. Miguel Cabrera is up again for American League Most Valuable Player, pitted against Angels Mike Trout for a second consecutive year along with Orioles slugger Chris Davis.
DETROIT -- Get ready for another busy week in the Tigers' offseason. This time, however, they won't be looking for a manager. They'll be looking for hardware, and a historic sweep of it.
As expected, the Tigers will have finalists in all three player categories for the major end-of-season awards, as revealed Tuesday on MLB Network. Miguel Cabrera is up again for American League Most Valuable Player, pitted against Angels Mike Trout for a second consecutive year along with Orioles slugger Chris Davis.
Max Scherzer, by contrast, will have to beat out Texas' Yu Darvish and Seattle's Hisashi Iwakuma if he's going to become the second Tigers pitcher in three years to win AL Cy Young Award and cap a dream season.
Shortstop Jose Iglesias, meanwhile, joins two Rays, Chris Archer and Wil Myers, in the running for the AL Rookie of the Year Award.
No team has won all three awards in the same season. The Tigers might be in the best position of any team in recent memory to do so. Cabrera and Scherzer are the favorites in their categories, while Iglesias' defensive wizardry between Boston and Detroit puts him in a position to contend should teammates Archer and Myers split the vote among writers struggling to identify which player had a bigger impact.
Voting for all three awards took place near the end of the regular season among members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America, with one voter assigned for each chapter in each AL city. Votes were due before the playoffs began, so the Tigers' postseason play has no factor in the voting.
Neither Cabrera nor Scherzer was a major surprise. Statistically, Cabrera topped the production of his Triple Crown season from 2012, batting .348 to become the first right-handed hitter since Rogers Hornsby in 1920 to win three consecutive batting crowns.
Cabrera matched last season's total of 44 home runs while playing in 13 fewer games. Considering he hit only one home run in September while dealing with a groin injury that required season-ending surgery, he put up the bulk of his production in far less time.
It wasn't enough for another home run title, finishing a distant second to Davis. Likewise, Cabrera's 137 RBIs left him one shy of Davis for the league lead. Still, it was more than enough production to power his MVP campaign. Cabrera's 1.078 OPS, meanwhile, was 73 points higher than Davis, his closest competition, and 90 points higher than Trout.
Again, advanced metrics will make the case for Trout, whose 10.4 Wins Above Replacement led baseball for a second consecutive year. Though Trout had a way lower advantage defensively, where his 0.1 Ultimate Zone Rating in center barely cracked baseball's top 10 center fielders and left him out of the finalists for a Gold Glove Award. His 110 walks, however, had an impact.
Cabrera beat out Davis and Trout for AL Outstanding Player honors as part of the Players Choice Awards announced Monday night. Major League players voted on that honor.
Cabrera is vying to become the first back-to-back AL MVP winner since Chicago's Frank Thomas took consecutive awards in 1993 and '94. A Cabrera win would make the Tigers the first team to have the AL MVP winner for three straight years (Justin Verlander won the award in 2011) since the 1960-63 Yankees (Roger Maris in '60, '61; Mickey Mantle in '62; Elston Howard in '63).
Likewise, Scherzer topped Darvish in player balloting for the AL's Outstanding Pitcher, a Players Choice Award that has closely tracked Cy Young results in recent years. Six of the past seven years, the same pitcher has won both.
Scherzer's 21-3 record was the best by a Major League pitcher since Cliff Lee went 22-3 in 2008. It came after Scherzer got off to a 13-0 start, one of the best records to begin a season in Major League history, and a 19-1 mark that was the best since Roger Clemens won 20 of his first 21 decisions in 2001.
"It was a great ride," Scherzer told MLB Network. "Everybody played well together. The days I didn't pitch well, my teammates scored a bunch of runs to help me win."
Scherzer kept insisting all season that the wins and losses were fluky statistics. His other stats, however, carried undeniable weight. Only Darvish, another finalist for the award, finished with more strikeouts among Major League pitchers than Scherzer, who fanned 240 batters over 214 1/3 innings.
Scherzer's .198 batting-average-against ranked second in the AL to Darvish, while his .254 on-base percentage allowed led all big league starting pitchers.
While Cabrera's MVP candidacy is built on offense, Iglesias' Rookie of the Year chances rest almost completely on his defensive impact, especially at shortstop once he joined the Tigers at the end of July.
Iglesias put up a 3.4 Ultimate Zone Rating over 571 1/3 innings at short. Project that out to 150 games, and only Alcides Escobar and Yunel Escobar ranked higher among regular AL shortstops.

Lauren Ross, Senior Conservation Technician
This artwork is compelling and it confuses me. I like crossword puzzles, cryptograms, brainteasers in general, etymology, and games of language manipulation. It seems obvious that playing with language is a significant part of Bruce Nauman's artistic practice. Our Curator of Contemporary Art Kristen Hileman recently wrote:
In addition to provoking viewers to consider the aesthetic dimensions of a format associated with advertising, Nauman called attention to the idea that visual art can be a means for exploring language.
Especially in his language-based work, Bruce Nauman is SERIOUSLY funny. But he's serious, too.
It's easy enough to grasp the progression (spelling and rhyming) of the words in the title. How did he come to those particular words though? Which one came first? Or was it just an immediate kind of thing where the words mentally landed one after the next? I've wondered if you're intended to think of the sad cliché of violins playing? It's easy then to think of something that might really be sad. VIOLENCE and SILENCE together = what? It could be death. Is the word SILENCE intended to get you to think about the silent nature of the neon itself, flashing in the dark? Or is SILENCE to make you think about VIOLENCE being under-reported or ignored? Could it just be that Nauman heard a great piece of violin music that had a violent crescendo and then got really quiet? Or, maybe the cadence of the words has a natural incline and decline as you think them or say them. But I doubt it's that simple.
What about the colors? The sequence of words goes like this: and then the same words, only completely backwards:
Do the specific individual colors or their transitions make you feel the ideas of the words differently? I think they must. I'm not sure it's fair to say it, but maybe Nauman assigned the specific colors to each word for a specific conceptual reason, manipulating the gases as if using physics to harness synesthetics. Nauman studied mathematics and physics in college, so I assume his use of the noble gases is pretty well-informed. The sequencing of the words, too, is another aspect entirely that is mathematically specific.
When I moved here in 1989 as a young art student, I first saw this piece and was absolutely astounded by it. I hadn't seen any of Nauman's work before then, and it introduced to a whole new genre of artwork. Everything I've seen of his since has moved me.
Now that I've lived here for 25 years, the way I experience this work is slightly different. I think it's because it's located in Baltimore. It's not pleasant to admit that Baltimore has a reputation for violent crime. Maybe any city where it was installed would summon up the same ideas. Yet there is an impact or echo of a city's identity on a work of public art. Language manipulated in this way is suggestive politically. Figuring out the suggestion is part of the intellectual challenge in looking at Nauman.
BMA Voices is an insider's exploration of The Baltimore Museum of Art collection through the eyes of its curators, conservators, and registrars. Featuring a new object every day during the BMA's 100 Day Celebration, the project will highlight some favorite, amusing, unusual, and obscure objects.

Solarware needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 59 designs submitted by 27 freelance designers.
A worldwide incentive travel company specializing in large group packages needs a new logo to represent the company in online and print ads.
http://www.ustnyc.com, UST, Universal Sky Tours
UST® is a meetings and events management company based in Westchester County, New York. We work with some of the biggest names in industry. And most of our clients have been partnering with us not just for years-but for decades. The reason is simple: the unparalleled service and support they receive from UST®.
The company needs a logo that represents worldwide travel, yet still gives a sense of the history of decades of service.
- Be creative
- The old logo was a black and white globe next to the letter UST, to give an idea of what we USED to use
- Since we may relocate, if we could emphasize the UST and not the NYC, yeah, that would be great (and I'm sorry to everyone who heard that in the Bill Lumberg's voice from Office Space)

Based upon a song called "Old Mad Tom," this version ridicules the actions of the Regulators. "Old Mad Tom" was a song that had been around since the early 1600's and referred to inmates of Bedlam Hospital which was used by the city of London as an asylum for the mentally ill. In this version, Tom is going to break the state constitution, get judges off the bench, move the state government, and take power away from the eastern counties. Thomas Grover was a Regulator from Montague. The letter referred to by this writer was published in the Hampshire Gazette on December 26, 1786. William Butler began publication of the Hampshire Gazette on September 6, 1786, in Northampton, Massachusetts. The mission of the newspaper was to inform the public about the issues pertaining to the ongoing conflicts. Butler was decidedly on the government side of the issues.

- Small Green Rocket
- Item Level 1
- Use: Throw into a firework launcher!
- 1 Charges
- Sell Price: 6
- Vendor 25
The Small Green Rocket is a type of firework associated with, but not exclusive to, the Lunar Festival event.
A Firework Launcher is required to use a Small Green Rocket. (see Notes section)
Small Green Rockets are crafted by Engineers with a skill of 125.
|1x [Coarse Blasting Powder]
|1x [Medium Leather]
The schematic for Small Green Rocket is contained in [Small Rocket Recipes] which can be purchased for 5 from Fariel Starsong in Moonglade during the Lunar Festival.
- See also: Small Rockets
Small Green Rockets can be purchased for 25 from Lunar Festival Vendor <Lunar Festival Vendors> in capital cities.
Small Green Rockets are contained in the [Lunar Festival Fireworks Pack] which can be purchased for 5 from Valadar Starsong in Moonglade during the Lunar Festival.
Object ofEdit
Lunar Fireworks requires that you launch eight Lunar Fireworks (color and size not specified) and two Cluster Fireworks (color and size not specified). Small Green Rockets are a Lunar Firework.
Unlike many fireworks in WoW, Lunar Festival Rockets (Large and Small, any color) require the presence of a Firework Launcher object on the ground in order to use the firework. These are widely available during the Lunar Festival only; near Lunar Festival revelers in cities and in Moonglade, and at other odd locations (there's some at the fishing dock in Orgrimmar). Firework Launchers are available year-round at the party at Saltheril's Haven in Eversong Woods. You can also spawn your own Firework Launcher for 30 minutes by using a [Firework Launcher], made by an engineer from schematics purchased from Valadar Starsong in Moonglade during the Lunar Festival. The schematics cost 5 . The Firework Launcher item does not bind; it has only one charge and is used, not equipped, so it is Consume on Use.

Ranbir Kapoor might not be a Bollywood Dabangg as yet, but he is definitely a Rockstar who has just turned Besharam. With Abhinav Kashyap's film hitting the theatres on a holiday, we wonder if the film has the right ingredients for a box office success.
Widest release so far: Abhinav Kashayp's second directorial venture after Dabangg would release in 3600 screens on October 2. The film beats the record of Chennai Express which had the biggest release ever for a Hindi film with 3500 screens in India and 700 plus screens abroad.
Holiday release: The fact that Besharam is releasing on a holiday (Gandhi Jayanti) will help the weekend collections. By now we all know that first weekend is crucial for the fate of a film.
Abhinav Kashayp's Dabangg form: There are numerous expectations from the director who broke many a record with his first film Dabangg.
Ranbir Kapoor on record breaking spree: Ranbir Kapoor is in top form with three consecutive hits - Ye Jawaani Hai Deewani, Barfi! and Rockstar.
Triple Kapoor treat: Ranbir Kapoor is working with his parents Rishi and Neetu Kapoor for the first time in Besharam. Rishi and Neetu are playing corrupt cops in the film and it would be fun to see Ranbir Kapoor calling his dad Rishi Kapoor dharti pe bojh.
Lady luck: Ranbir Kapoor has been lucky with newcomers in the past. He gave hits like Raajneeti, Rocket Singh, Rockstar and Barfi! with the new faces. With Pallavi Sharda, the actor is hoping to re-create the history.
The masala factor: Last but not the least, it's a fair bet at the box office as it's a romantic comedy with a decent dance number and some foot tapping music.
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter ... - Rev. MLK Jr.

Davison in talks with BBC Wales
He said, "I've got a meeting with the head of BBC Wales... to go through various things the BBC have got planned. I don't think she's going to offer me a part in it... I might be wrong."
He continued, ""I honestly don't know very much. I know that Steven Moffat will have something planned. I don't think it will involve the older Doctors, certainly in their present form, because of course we're meant to look exactly as we did when we left the TARDIS and none of us really do."
Funnily enough, Davison is the only Classic Doctor to appear in a New Series multi-doctor story, in which he didn't look the same at all. One wonders if Davison knows or thinks more than he's letting on...

There had better be older Doctors, Moffat knows he'll upset the fans if he doesn't bring any older ones back.

But should he have to 'please fans' by giving them what THEY want, he runs the show, he listens to fans, but when they demand something it seems a bit rude to demand it, especially when I'm sure what he's got planned will be great.
