RALEIGH, N.C. –Campbell Law School Professor Amos Jones delivered expert testimony at an oversight hearing in Washington, D.C., this past Friday, April 20. Jones's televised testimony came forth during the Budget Oversight Hearing for D.C.'s Office and Commission on Human Rights. D.C. Councilman Marion Barry, Chair of the council's Committee on Aging and Community Affairs, presided over the hearing and solicited Jones's recommendations on the most effective ways to improve enforcement of D.C.'s Human Rights Act.¾
Campbell Law Professor Amos Jones delivers his testimony
Focused on a recent religious-discrimination case, Jones' taped testimony is archived online at http://dc.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view-id=5&clip-id=1176¾and begins at 03:46:40 in the video.¾
–Religious freedom is a bedrock principle in our American legal order," said Jones. –It was a special privilege to appear before the councilman who not only began our capital city's prayer breakfast back in the 1970s when he was mayor, but who also was a leading figure in the national Civil Rights movement 50 years ago."¾
Jones shuttled to Washington from Raleigh after teaching his last class of the semester on Tuesday, April 18.¾
–This is another way that theory and practice can come together for the benefit of the public, providing an example to our students of just one way in which they might use their legal training to make an impact for the greater good."¾
Jones delivered his testimony in light of his recent scholarship and his representation of a 71-year-old widow client who filed a religious discrimination claim against her Section 8 seniors housing complex and its management company back in 2011. The lawyer and client met three years ago in their Sunday school class at Washington's historic Shiloh Baptist Church.¾¾

It's all too tempting for those us old enough to recall Dec. 8, 1980 to dwell Wednesday on where we were and how we felt when slammed by the news that John Lennon had been gunned down outside his Manhattan home. The sadness, if not the full brunt of the shock, lingers for many all these years later.
But imagine spending part of the 30th anniversary of Lennon's death reflecting on other memories:
Think about the first time you heard a Beatles song.
Think about the first time you sang or played one with friends or family.
Think about the last time you listened to a favorite Beatles or Lennon tune with a loved one, perhaps someone too young to recall the day the man – but not the music – died.
Take a cue from Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, who has dedicated much of the last three decades to keeping his legacy of peace and song alive.
She's tried for years to make her husband's birthday – Oct. 9 – an annual plea for peace. A corner seems to have turned a couple months ago, on what would have been Lennon's 70th birthday, as a wide spectrum of fans around the world flocked to joyous gatherings, devoid of much of the somberness that marks the usual Dec. 8 commemorations.
In October, Ono took to the Internet and put out a call for fans to tweet "a million wishes for peace for John's birthday!" and re-lit the Imagine Peace Tower in Iceland. She's apparently planning to maintain a low profile on the anniversary of his death, though on Sunday she posted answers to fans' tweeted questions on her Imagine Peace website.
This exchange caught our eye: "How would you advise a person to move forward after suffering the loss of a loved one?" one tweeter asked.
"You have not lost him," Ono answered. "He is still inside you giving you his love, wisdom and power. Be thankful that he was and is in your life."
There's a danger with passage of time that Lennon becomes more of a symbol than a man; more of a pop-culture saint than a phenomenally talented but flawed human being; more of a rock-and-roll museum piece than an electrifying performer and songwriter whose music is still as fresh as when "Love Me Do" introduced him, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr to the world nearly a half-century ago.
It's also very easy to get caught up in too many what-ifs: What would Lennon be saying about the wars that plague our times? Would he still be making music? Would the Beatles ever have reunited? A newly uncovered interview Lennon gave three days before he was gunned down only makes such questions more poignant, and the answers more elusive.
Time might be better spent turning up the music – whether on vinyl, CD or the iPod – and remembering that Lennon essentially spent half of his 40 years helping give us a enduring soundtrack for our lives.
Just imagine that.

Huntington Ingalls Inc. v. Doe, 2012 WL 5897483 (N.D. Cal. November 21, 2012)
A federal court in California has allowed a party to subpoena Google to learn the identity of a Gmail account owner, even though that owner did nothing to involve himself in the dispute.
A contractor that plaintiff hired accidentally emailed "property" belonging to plaintiff to the wrong email address. (The court's opinion is not clear on the nature of this "property," but we are safe in assuming it was some sort of proprietary information.) Plaintiff sent messages to the Gmail account seeking return of the property, but the unknown account owner did not respond.
Plaintiff filed suit in federal court against the anonymous account holder (John Doe) seeking declaratory and injunctive relief (i.e., to get the property back). Since plaintiff did not know Doe's identity, it sought expedited discovery so that it could subpoena Google for the identifying information.
The court granted the motion for leave to send the subpoenas. It found that:
- without the subpoena, plaintiff would have no other way to obtain "this most basic information"
- the subpoena was the exclusive means available to plaintiff to protect its property interest
- plaintiff's proposed procedure guarded Doe's due process rights by requiring Google to give Doe notice of the subpoena and an opportunity to object
The court's opinion shows how any privacy interest in one's email account information is tenuous at best. In this situation, the target of the unmasking efforts was, as they say, minding his own business, not doing anything to inject himself into any dispute.
Moreover, unlike many previous cases in which courts have required the party seeking discovery of an anonymous party's identity to put forth facts showing it has a good case, there was no claim here that Doe did anything wrong. Instead, it was the sender's mistake. One could find it unsettling to know that other peoples' errors could cause a court to order his or her identity to be publicly revealed.

Guy in line: "I can't decide, they all sound good".
Counter girl: "We have the new Caramal Brulee' Latte' you might like. It's really good. Have you ever had creme brulee'?
Guy in line: "No".
Counter girl: "Well, creme brulee' tastes just like the Caramel Brulee' Latte does, um, if you, uh, knew what it tastes like, I mean."
Then I got up there.
Dr. Grumpy: "I'd like a polar bear cookie."
Counter girl: "They're good. We used to have them for other holidays, too, I mean, at least ones where polar bears are part of the theme."
Okay... How many other holidays with polar bears in the theme are there?

Floris about this shoe:
"These shoes are painted by hand in our production plant. The original leather is actually much lighter. During the manufacturing process, just before we attach the sole to the leather, one of our employees puts this pair of shoes down on a table and carefully applies the final colour with a sponge. That sounds really exclusive and like good old craftsmanship, but… why do we do it this way? Why not order the leather hide in the right colour straight away? It's all about nuances! Colour nuances that you may not even notice at first glance, but that make all the difference between an amazing character and the look of a wet cardboard box. When you look at the seams and stitching real closely, you will see that they are accentuated in a slightly darker colour. Such an effect can only be crafted by hand."

CALGARY, Alberta, Feb. 24 (UPI) -- Jarome Iginla and Curtis Glencross each scored a late goal Sunday, rallying the Calgary Flames over Phoenix 5-4.
Trailing 4-3 late in the third period, the Flames got the equalizer with 1:23 remaining when Iginla tapped in a cross-ice feed from Alex Tanguay -- his second goal of the game.
Only 23 seconds later, Glencross received a pass from Lee Stempniak in the high slot and one-timed a slap shot past Mike Smith for the game-winner as the Flames pulled out a second straight win.
Glencross also added an assist and Joey MacDonald stopped 23-of-27 shots for Calgary.
Raffi Torres scored twice, while Michael Stone and Nick Johnson got the other goals for the Coyotes, who dropped a second straight.
Smith finished with 26 saves.

Denver-based Furniture Row Racing has everything it needs to contend with NASCAR powerhouses
DENVER -- Two things stand out after entering the door at 4000 Forest Street, a one-floor nondescript building nestled in a Denver industrial complex.
On the left stands a metallic statue with a motorcycle gas tank for a head, rocker arms for limbs, and other vehicle pieces such as transmission cylinders forming parts of the body. On the right, not near as tall but just as telling, rests the 2011 Darlington Southern 500 trophy.
Those two items symbolize everything that one needs to know about the mission and atmosphere at Furniture Row Racing.
Cool, innovative machinery. And race trophies.
To excel in NASCAR Sprint Cup racing, most people believe that a race team must set roots in North Carolina, the epicenter of the NASCAR community.
But 1,600 miles from the race hub of Mooresville, N.C. sits a 34,000-square-foot fully equipped race shop in a former plant and upholstery center owned by furniture company patriarch and race team owner Barney Visser.
"Why keep it in Denver? I love Denver and I don't want to move," Visser says. "I like to go in the shop when I want to go in and see the work being done. I like quality workmanship and I enjoy the people.
"I never thought it couldn't be done so I don't get a particular buzz out of it."
But this team has created a lot of buzz this year as the first single-car operation to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Former Cup champion Kurt Busch has nine top-five and 14 top-10 finishes in his only season with the team and finished 10th in the final regular-season standings.
But no matter how good a driver Busch is, or how good veteran crew chief Todd Berrier is, they can't accomplish what they have without the foundation of the shop. That and Visser's wallet matches the vision evident when one visits Furniture Row Racing.
"Barney believes that when you go to the racetrack, there physically has to be a reason for you to run better," Berrier says. "He likes to see a new part, a new piece, a new whatever.
"He's really into knowing what is different on the car this weekend than last week. He looks at that as an upside. Most of the big teams are going to look at that as an expense."
So Visser has a shop designed to engineer new parts and pieces as well as installing them in cars with limited turnaround time. Even though general manager Joe Garone admits he'd love to have a sponsor to ease some of the burden on Visser, the shop doesn't serve that purpose -- unless one considers that running well attracts more sponsors interested in spending $10 million or more to fund at least part of a Cup season.
"The idea has never been about marketing," Garone says. "(Visser) likes to know about the parts and pieces and the structure of the car and quality of the work.
"He loves the work done to the highest limit. He likes to be able to come in and touch it."
Small space, well stocked
Berrier can get from one end of the shop to the other in a minute, touching many more parts of the car than in his previous job at Richard Childress Racing. He has two former Cup crew chiefs -- competition director Pete Rondeau and machinist Ryan Coniam joining him on car development.
Everything in the shop appears well-stocked, even in October as the season nears an end.
"It's something where you have to understand the inner workings of a car to respect it," Busch says about the shop. "It's the people and ease of operation."

Want to talk ease?
Garone's office looks right into the shop, not tucked away three floors up or in a separate building. He walks out of his office and to the shop floor, and Berrier and Rondeau can do the same.
They walk out of their offices and see 14 cars, all built for Busch, who sits ninth in the Chase standings. After this season, Busch will move to Stewart-Haas Racing, a move predicated on driving for a team that already has won a Cup championship and where depth means that quality control issues don't crop up as often.
Data from multiple cars can help diagnose and red-flag problems much easier than for single-car operations such as Furniture Row. But the downside is that those big teams build cars in more of an assembly line fashion.
Furniture Row has no assembly line feel. Instead, it delivers an aura of an elaborate racing garage.
"We don't lack, we don't want for anything," Berrier says. "At RCR, we'd have to decide how many new cars are you going to build this year and how many cars are you going to have. Unless you wreck one, you don't get to replace it.
"Here, we're just continually building new cars."
They don't build chassis at Furniture Row because NASCAR certifies the chassis at its Research & Development Center in North Carolina. But beyond purchasing chassis from RCR, they do everything else at the shop, which virtually overflows with parts and pieces.
"All the bells and whistles and all the smokescreens? Teams can do that in all the North Carolina shops," Busch says. "This place out there, you go to the bolt bin or you go to the parts room. The bolt bin has got everything brand new -- they're all aircraft bolts, they're lightweight, titanium pieces.
"And then you go into the parts room and you have brand new radiators that are cutting edge technology for cooling of the car."
The shop has virtually all the amenities of a North Carolina-based team without matching some of them in scale. Furniture Row has a paint booth, three setup plates, two fabrication plates, two body plates and three roamer arms like the ones used to measure cars at the NASCAR R&D Center.
Just as in most shops, Furniture Row has a chassis dyno, a fabrication area, a fuel-cell testing area and areas for brakes and suspensions. By the wall sits a Monster Energy cooler (thanks, Kurt).
And in another corner, built deep into the ground, sits a seven-post rig, a million-dollar piece of equipment critical in simulating how a car will react when going through the turns at a particular track. Not all teams have them; those that don't often have to take their cars to a separate facility that does.
"I was told we needed it and we did it," Visser says. "We like to think that if it's going to make us faster, we're going to spend the money. If it's just about appearance and look, we probably won't spend the money."
The team has two 18-wheel haulers, one for racing, one for testing. Berrier had to fight for a toolbox, of all things, for the test hauler.
"That was like pulling teeth to get the money allocated for that because (Visser) looks at that, 'How does a toolbox make you run faster?'" Berrier says.
Don't worry, Barney, the testing toolbox has been put to good use. The team heads to its 16th test this year when it goes to Martinsville Speedway next week.
The team has access to two other buildings, one vacant in case the organization expands to two cars and the other the headquarters of Visser Precision Cast, an incredible facility that makes machine parts. It houses CNC machines, a water jet machine, parts design machines and other pieces of equipment that feature direct metal laser sintering, which uses a fiber optic laser to fuse together layers of metal powder, producing parts and pieces a race team can't get elsewhere.
Berrier enters that building and geeks out, always thinking of ideas for lighter, stronger pieces.
"It's pretty unparalleled to anything I've been accustomed to," Berrier says. "That part is relatively exciting. That part is something that fits me real well.
"We do all the prototype stuff here (in the race shop) and when it comes down to production stuff, then the machine shop takes it over. That gets your wheel turning when you see the capabilities you have that you never knew existed."
The right people, the right fit
And while they don't want for anything, machines can only do so much before the expertise of those in the shop take over.
About 55 people work in the shop and another 15 in the machine business. The 70 employees are split between those relocated from North Carolina and others hired from the Denver area.
They all seem to love it there, with the rigors of the racing travel schedule tempered by one of the nicest planes in the sport that shuttles the road crew to and from the racetrack.
Furniture Row Racing won the 2011 Southern 500 at Darlington with driver Regan Smith. (Bob Pockrass/SN)
The mechanics enter the shop at 6 a.m. so if they need to work with someone on the East Coast, they can. Scheduled to leave at 3 p.m., the mechanics often stay late, if needed, Busch says.
"With a smaller group working those long, committed hours, you're not looking for the clock to strike 3 every day and leave," Busch says. "I saw that a lot at some of the big teams I was at. It was like a freeway at 5 o'clock every day -- you'd get run over if you were in the wrong crosswalk.
"This team, everybody is there putting in their hours because there's nobody behind them that's going to get it on the next shift or the next day."
The team attributes that work ethic to the racing-focused atmosphere that permeates through a shop that, ironically, once housed a series of assembly-line-type furniture operations.
Visser has owned the building for more than 30 years. A warehouse back in the late 1970s, he initially turned it into a waterbed mattress factory. He then converted it into a workshop for oak bookcase/entertainment centers. An upholstery plant occupied the building's next phase.
When the growth of the upholstery plant outgrew the building's usefulness in 2005, Visser had just begun racing with local driver Jerry Robertson and decided to make it a race shop.
He poured an estimated half-million dollars into it, and Garone took charge of how to structure the operation. They didn't bother with a sign -- Visser says worries about break-ins in the industrial neighborhood keep him from doing so ----- but outfitted it with some of the latest and greatest tools.
The Furniture Row shop doesn't even have the smell of new furniture. When initially setting up his office, Garone just went to a Furniture Row store and grabbed some stuff, which remains in his office today.
A former crew chief for Bill Elliott, Garone had helped guide former CART team owner Cal Wells' foray into NASCAR. Garone later worked as one of NASCAR's first employees when it opened its R&D Center. He knew what the shop needed.
"I never argued about anything with him," Garone says about discussions with Visser about what to put in the shop. "You just had to show him what the reason was and what the benefit was going to be. ... He loves machinery, equipment and he likes to compete.
"He wants to win. This is the best of both worlds."
So maybe that's why a contraption built of vehicle parts welcomes fans in the reception area along with the Darlington trophy. The person behind the receptionist desk actually works as the team's transportation director.
The shop has no museum and just one tour a week at 2 p.m. on Thursdays. Don't ask for a special time for a group to come visit. No such distractions are allowed.
Looking for a souvenir shop? Turn on your computer -- team gear is available online only.
Museums, gaudy car displays and gift shops don't make cars go fast.
"It's more what we would have had in 2000 before they became showplaces and you spent all the sponsors' money on tile and on nice pretty glass windows and reception places and things like that," Berrier says.
"This is just a race shop."

The smell of candy corn is in the air, and the contact sugar high is making you crave our epic Halloween party costumes. That's right, it's a secret plot to get you to shop for better quality costumes for Halloween. Party antics are sure to ensue when you realize that no one can recognize you in your Frankenstein jumpsuit. You can stumble around asking people where your brain came from, and they'll just look at you like you've lost your mind (when the real trouble is that you have the wrong one!) There's no telling what the night will have in store when you wear our Halloween party attire--especially if you choose our matching Halloween couples costumes). But let's just propose a few possible story lines.
Storyline #1: The Candy Apple Heist. Sometimes, the quality of a Halloween party outfit can make or break your evening. You chose the wrong day to wear a cheap Halloween mask from a convenience store. The eye holes were oddly placed and when you weren't looking, some kids came by and stole all the candy apples you'd made for the party. Fortunately, you were able to change into one of our awesomely funny Halloween costumes for adults. The stitched up suit made you look so formidable when you showed up on the doorstep of the thieves' parents that the kids confessed immediately and gave you back all the apples (and only a few had teeth marks on them!) You carried the apples home, careful not to get sticky coating on your impeccable Halloween party attire.
Storyline #2: The Great Mustard Battle. You and your partner made a last minute decision to get matching costumes for Halloween. The jumpsuits you settled on were our Hot Dog outfits. All was going well until a food fight broke out at the fall festival. In your food-themed Halloween party costumes, you and your significant other were the perfect target for being pelted with condiments. But in your funny Halloween couples costumes, you were able to sneak into a nearby restaurant and convince them to donate all their ketchup packets to your defense fund. When you returned to the fray, your double-barreled ketchup squirting skills won the day!
Storyline #3: The Mistaken Identity. You had a great time picking out costumes for Halloween party night at the university. But you left the browser open and your roommate ordered the same Halloween party outfit that you did. When you both showed up as Astronauts and your roomie got pretty animated after a few too many dehydrated ice cream sandwiches, you ended up getting blamed. Fortunately, this story of matching Halloween party costumes has a happy ending. But it's up to you to figure out what that is! Choose your own adventure about these funny Halloween costumes for adults...
The point is this, when you wear our funny Halloween party costumes, there's no telling where the night will take you. And with our couples costumes for Halloween, you double the chances of finding some excitement.

How many gun-related incidents in schools do we need before we realize that this nation has a serious gun problem? Perhaps an elementary school student bringing a gun to class will do the trick.
A student at Kossuth Elementary reported to the teacher that another student was carrying a gun. The teacher contacted the office and administrators removed the child and the child's possessions from the classroom. [The school's superintendent] says an unloaded .22 caliber pistol was found but there was no ammunition in the child's possession.

Zombies, creepers, and spiders, oh my! If your kids are like mine, you've probably suddenly become a Minecraft family. However, if you're like I was, you probably have no idea what the heck the kids are doing in their virtual world. Never fear: The Minecraft FAQ is here.
Minecraft isn't new, but it's now reached the mainstream and is probably popular in many houses around the world. As kids grow out of Flash games and pounding the remote control against the TV, they will quickly discover the magic and addictive properties of Minecraft. I'm here to help you understand this new threat.
What is Minecraft?
Minecraft is a construction game. You run around a huge world -- sometimes with other users -- and "mine" for dirt, gold, iron ore, and other metals. Using fairly complex recipes, you can then make various objects like swords, pickaxes, and bows and arrows. More importantly, however, you can stack the stuff you mine into amazingly complex shapes, allowing you to build tall towers, huge castles, and even whole cities.
You can play the game for free but for online play you have to pay about $20. The pocket edition for iOS and Android is equally addictive and allows you to play with other users on the same Wi-Fi network.
Is it scary?
There are monsters, sure, but if you play in Creative mode, they won't bother you. Survival mode is more of a challenge, and slurping zombies and wobbly slime creatures come out at night (did I mention there was a time system?) to grab you.
Minecraft runs on most computers and, more importantly, on iOS and Android devices. Computer users can create and connect to public Minecraft servers around the world, but most of them have no voice-chat capabilities so the worst another player can do is blow up your house. The portable version, called Minecraft PE, allows you to connect with other people playing the same game on your wireless network. This means siblings can play in the same world, something that my kids discovered early. Older kids will teach the younger kids how to play, and it doesn't have to be any scarier than an older kid jumping out of a mine and saying "Boo."
Are they rotting their brains?
Eh, it could be worse. The violence is very tame and the real draw is the creative aspect. That's why it's a hoot to play.
I mean, look at this thing below:
That is a real building a player in the game made with some friends. The best I could ever do was make a tower that went straight up, and even that was a blast. It's really fun and they'll play it for hours. Which leads us to the next question ...
Should I be worried they're playing too much?
Yes and no. Minecraft is pixelated crack. I spent a week playing it a few months ago, fascinated by the concept of endlessly stacking bricks on top of each other. It was really addictive.
My kids have been playing for a few weeks and now they're watching videos about playing the game in an effort to understand the complexities of the system. So they're watching people play the game so they can play the game later, for a longer period of time. It's a weird circle.
Also note that the people who do the videos are usually either kids who rarely curse but are almost always insufferable if you've heard their voices for days on end.
Will I have fun if I play it?
Yes, you will. I'm planning on doing some podcasts with my son, and I think adults will love the gentle gameplay and simple rules. It can put you in a Zen-like state, which I suppose is a good thing. It's honestly an amazing game and, compared to the shoot 'em ups they could be playing or horrible time wasters like Candy Crush, this is virtually a college education.
Just watch out for the Witch. She's a mean one.
Do your kids play Minecraft yet? How do you feel about that?

The U.K. government has unveiled details of its tax credits for high-budget TV drama, laffers, docus, toonpics and vidgames, which will come into force in April.
To qualify, projects must be budgeted in excess of £1 million ($1.6 million) an hour or more than £500,000 ($800,000) for 30 minutes.
TV projects, toons and vidgames will be able to secure a rebate of up to 25% of 80% of their production budget, provided they are made in Blighty.
The move is intended to encourage more fare to be created or shot in the U.K., and to prevent shows going overseas to take advantage of local tax breaks.
The government said the new rules were designed to "ensure they are among the most generous in the world," and are similar to existing film tax credits.
Producers welcomed the new rules. Andy Harries, CEO of Sony Pictures Television-owned Left Bank Pictures, said: "This TV production incentive is critical to ensure that our industry continues to grow in the U.K.
"Left Bank Pictures shot two productions in South Africa this year — 'Mad Dogs' and 'Strike Back' — because the tax breaks made it a highly competitive destination.
"We have many other large-scale projects in development and this incentive will allow us to make them in the U.K. whilst supporting the U.K.'s creative community."
Stephen Bristow, head of business development at U.K. accountants Saffery Champness, added: "The government has lived up to the promise of delivering an incentive for high-end television that is among the most generous in the world.
"The U.K.'s world-class facilities, cast and crew coupled now with competitive tax relief will provide program-makers with a compelling case to shoot in the U.K."

"Conviction" stars Hillary Swank as Betty Anne Waters, a real-life Massachusetts woman who passed her GED, got a BA and went to law school all in an effort to get her brother's murder conviction overturned. The new trailer reeks of Oscar bait.
The story is as feel-good as one could hope for, and the cast -- which also includes Sam Rockwell, Melissa Leo, Minnie Driver and Juliette Lewis -- is fantastic. But the trailer, which invites you to "experience the extraordinary journey about how far we go to fight for our family," is gag-inducing.
This film had been called "Betty Anne Waters" for most of its production, but someone apparently decided that changing the title to something completely generic was the way to go. Maybe they were worried about adding fuel to the "Erin Brockovich" comparisons.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The film is directed by film and TV actor Tony Goldwyn (you probably don't recognize the name but you've seen him in about three dozen things) from a script by Pamela Gray ("Music of the Heart," which starred Meryl Streep and was directed by Wes Craven?). It goes into limited release Oct. 15.

Fifty years ago today, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to enter outer space. In doing so, he didn't just take humanity into a bold new era of exploration - he also got to see our planet in a way no one else ever had before.
There aren't any photos of the Earth from Gagarin's Vostok 1 mission, so this photo taken on the International Space Station back in 2003 will have to serve as a proxy. For his part, Gagarin offered this simple description of what he saw high above our world: "The sky is very dark; the Earth is bluish. Everything is seen very clearly."
Gagarin's spaceflight took him 200 miles up, and he completed one orbit before coming back to Earth. Gagarin's historic mission on April 12, 1961 would be his only trip into space, in part because of his tragic death in a plane crash in 1968.

In new commercial, SMAP want to be replaced so they can take a break
"新SMAP募集!! (New SMAP Wanted!!)" SMAP takes a break from showbiz to play video games in their upcoming commercial, reports Famitsu on July 25.
The new commercial for Nintendo Wii's Dragon Quest X: Mezameshi Itsutsu no Shuzoku Online goes on air in Japan today.
In the commercial, SMAP hold an emergency press conference, saying they are looking for someone to be part of a new SMAP because the current members want to play Dragon Quest X.
It has been reported Takuya Kimura was a guest at the game's press conference in Tokyo on July 25, and said he found the commercial's concept had impact.
"It was just a commercial shoot, but I was surprised at how real the press conference set was."
The latter part of the commercial shows the five members in their own rooms playing the game, but together as a group in the game's online world. Usually, each room and each member would be filmed individually, but it has been reported the crew built several rooms in one studio hall, and the five of them shouted out to one another in real time during shoots.
"The new Dragon Quest X makes team play so much more global, and there we were doing things like would have been done decades ago (laughs)."
Here are few screenshots from the commercial (photos taken from Famitsu):

Rain puts Aric Almirola on Talladega pole
TALLADEGA, Ala. — Aric Almirola won't shy away from admitting that not having crew chief Todd Parrott in the garage the rest of the season will impact his race team.
But of all the places where it will have an impact, Talladega Superspeedway would rank at the bottom of the list among the final five races of the year.
MORE: Lineup breakdown | Talladega upsets | Talladega picks | Standings
Almirola won the pole Saturday for the Camping World RV Sales 500 as rain washed out qualifying for Sunday's race and the field was set by Friday's first practice speeds.
The Richard Petty Motorsports driver posted the top speed at 202 mph in a car that Parrott had spearheaded the preparation for prior to his being suspended Thursday for violations of NASCAR's substance-abuse policy.
"It certainly has had some impact for sure but for all weekends for something like that to happen, Talladega is a pretty easy one," Almirola said after winning the pole.
"You just try to get your car on the ground and try not to let it rub the racetrack too much to kill the speed and you go drive it. … I think it talks a lot about how well our race team is well-rounded. We have a lot of guys at the shop that do a really good job with our cars and these cars were prepared several weeks ago."
RPM competition director Sammy Johns is serving as interim crew chief this week while Parrott is suspended. Parrott is not expected to return before the end of the season. He must meet with a substance-abuse professional, who will diagnose him and determine what steps he must take to complete NASCAR's "Road to Recovery" program. That typically takes at least six weeks.

Parrott is the first Cup crew chief suspended since NASCAR started random drug testing in 2009.
"We are working on a plan, and I am sure they will announce the plan next week as to our plans for the rest of the year moving forward," Almirola said. "We just have to work through that and we will keep that internal until we are ready to announce it.
"We have sat down and talked about it and tried to come up with the best solution for what is best for us. … Todd Parrott is a good person and a good crew chief and a good friend of mine. I think he has a lot of support and a lot of people rallying behind him to get through this difficult time."
Johns indicated that Parrott will remain with the team.
"That is really a HR matter that the organization is working through
right now," Johns said Thursday. "We are confident in our solution for this weekend and giving Aric the best opportunity to win.
"We'll follow up with next steps after this weekend. We support Todd and his decision to enter Road to Recovery program."
The 49-year-old Parrott won a Cup title in 1999 with Dale Jarrett and has 31 career Cup wins in nearly 20 years as a Cup crew chief.
"It was certainly unexpected and something that we weren't excited about by any means," Almirola said. "That was definitely something that caught us all off guard and something that we have had to just work with on a day-to-day basis.
"Every day has been just a little bit different and we are trying to work through it and do the best we can."
Almirola had the fastest car in the short but wickedly fast drafting practice that drivers participated in Friday. Richard Childress Racing's Jeff Burton was part of that draft and will start second. Almirola teammate Marcos Ambrose will start third.
Series points leader Matt Kenseth starts 12th, while Jimmie Johnson, second in the standings, starts 11th in the sixth race of the 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup.
Kevin Harvick, third in the standings, starts 33rd, while Jeff Gordon (fourth in the standings) starts 19th and Kyle Busch (fifth in the standings) 27th. Five-time Talladega winner Dale Earnhardt Jr. will start eighth; Danica Patrick will start 23rd.
Although the starting order was set by practice speeds, who actually got in the race was set primarily by owner points with the final spots by the number of qualifying attempts. That left Penske Racing's Sam Hornish Jr. as the odd man out among the 44 entries as Penske has run its third car only once this year.

tell about what personal experience you've had that makes you believe in god, like a miracle (or just something that YOU think is a miracle), or something just really amazing that to you is evidence of gods existence.
this is not the place to argue/flame! this is for "evidence" FOR god ONLY!
this is to hear the religious people's side of this very popular discussion.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Philadelphia Inquirer co-owner Lewis Katz was killed along with six other people in a fiery plane crash in Massachusetts, the newspaper's editor said Sunday.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) � Philadelphia Inquirer co-owner Lewis Katz was killed along with six other people in a fiery plane crash in Massachusetts, the newspaper's editor said Sunday.
Bill Marimow confirmed Katz's death to Philly.com, saying he learned the news from close associates.
The Gulfstream IV crashed as it was leaving Hanscom Field at about 9:40 p.m. Saturday for Atlantic City, New Jersey. There were no survivors.
The identities of the other victims weren't immediately released. Nancy Phillips, Katz's longtime companion and city editor at the Inquirer, was not on board.
Officials gave no information on the cause of the crash. They said the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate.
The 72-year-old Katz was one of two business moguls who bought out their partners last week with an $88 million bid for The Inquirer, which also operates the Philadelphia Daily News and the news website Philly.com.
The winners vowed to fund in-depth journalism to return the Inquirer to its former glory and to retain its editor, Marimow.
"It's going to be a lot of hard work. We're not kidding ourselves. It's going to be an enormous undertaking," Katz said then, noting that advertising and circulation revenues had fallen for years. "Hopefully, (the Inquirer) will get fatter."
Katz, who grew up in Camden, New Jersey, made his fortune investing in the Kinney Parking empire and the Yankees Entertainment and Sports Network in New York. He once owned the NBA's New Jersey Nets and the NHL's New Jersey Devils and was a major donor to Temple University, his alma mater.
The fight over the future of the city's two major newspapers was sparked last year by a decision to fire the Inquirer's Pulitzer Prize-winning editor. Katz and H.F. "Gerry" Lenfest wanted a judge to block the firing. Katz sued a fellow owner, powerful Democratic powerbroker George Norcross, saying his ownership rights had been trampled. The dispute culminated last week when Katz and Lenfest, a former cable magnate-turned-philanthropist, bought out their partners.
Nearby residents saw a fireball and felt the blast shake their homes.
Jeff Patterson told The Boston Globe he saw a fireball about 60 feet high and suspected the worst.
"I heard a big boom, and I thought at the time that someone was trying to break into my house because it shook it," said Patterson's son, 14-year-old Jared Patterson. "I thought someone was like banging on the door trying to get in."
The air field, which serves the public, was closed after the crash. Responders were still on the scene Sunday morning.
Hanscom Field is about 20 miles northwest of Boston. The regional airport serves mostly corporate aviation, private pilots and commuter air services.

Today, while zooming through a profile piece on an artist and mother in the New York Times, I came across a new parental catch phrase that seems to ring true with my husband's notion of "idle parenting," as he defined it in Wednesday's post.
That notion was artist Karen Kimmel's reference to "slow parenting." She described it as "the idea of making time to be a parent. We so undervalue our time, say yes to too many things and have been programmed to think it's never enough. Profound things happen when you slow down."
The interview veers off in the direction of her new venture — Kimmel Kids — an educational line of "tools and toys aimed at getting children and their parents involved in making art." But what stuck with me in that article was her brief mention of slow parenting. I googled it.
I found this and several other links describing what is called the "Slow Movement," (taking its name from Carl Honoré's first book In Praise of Slowness). In the interview I read with Honoré, he speaks to our culture's perfect swirly storm of opportunity and competition. Our society's reaction to those two things? We give our children the best of everything, every opportunity, while we long to achieve the perfect family that raises the perfect children.
I know the children who are rising out of this cultural mess. I worked among them in posh suburban Philadelphia. These high school students were gifted immensely and forced by their well meaning parents (whom they did not question) to spend all their free time developing, sharpening, and succeeding in their individual "goals." Those kids were broken, aimless, and often unable to articulate how they could have so much and feel so lost.
Listen to Honoré's idea of reprogramming our families toward slowness:
"To me, Slow parenting is about bringing balance into the home. Children need to strive and struggle and stretch themselves, but that does not mean childhood should be a race. Slow parents give their children plenty of time and space to explore the world on their own terms. They keep the family schedule under control so that everyone has enough downtime to rest, reflect and just hang out together…Slow parents understand that childrearing should not be a cross between a competitive sport and product-development. It is not a project; it's a journey."
Maybe my experiences with high school kids have forever tainted me toward the idea of the intense development of our children. (A mom at the park casually mentioned the other day that her "hobby" is researching preschools for her near two-year-old son. I've been asked often enough if I have August in any language immersion courses. Mandarin, anyone? And since when was a toddler's "consistent schedule" the most important physiological determiner of his success? I'm sorry…I'm ranting.)
Perhaps I long for slowness for my son for more reasons than the hurting teenagers I've known and loved. I own the memory of my childhood: living in my swimsuit all summer, reading whatever books I most loved, running around the neighborhood with my brothers all afternoon. Eating popsicles on the couch.
Perhaps parenting slow is the bravest choice we can make in our success warped shiny society. Perhaps I should thank you, Mom and Dad, for being brave. Thank you that you did not force me into summer learning courses, but you encouraged me to sign up for the public library reading contest. Thank you that you did not ship me off to softball camp in hopes that I would impress your friends with my super important scholarship to Amazingly Fancy College. Instead you played wiffleball with us on late summer evenings in the front yard.
It's because of you that I did not get that scholarship. I did not get into that college. Instead I learned what I loved. Jesus and words. And I learned that slowly: At home. With my family and with books.

|OpenBSD Security Functionally paranoid!
|Thread Tools
|Display Modes
NAT adds no value in the topology you described.
As a matter of fact, I DO know what NAT is. As a thesis I implemented NIProxy (network intelligence) which is a network traffic shaping device. So please stop saying I don't know what NAT is.
If I have a router with DHCP range 192.168.0.1 / 24, and then I add a Openbsd with 2 interfaces, first 192.168.0.2, second (as DHCP) 192.168.1.1/24, then I need to use NAT for all clients which have a 192.168.1.1/24 IP. Otherwise the first router will get packets from 192.168.1.1/24 which should come from 192.168.0.2!
and blocking p2p/torrent is not that hard. I'll take your bet rapidshare is (currently) the only problem here..
ps: it's not the government here.. I take it there are no hackers, nor do the students have interest/time to do this stuff. Without any knowledge of computers you just can't start "hacking" or cracking or whatever. I used to try it when I didn't study ICT yet.
But ok I take it you are critical and I thank you for it, it's the best way.
So if this won't work, what do you suggest..?
As jggimi and others have said, you're trying to solve a policy problem with technical means.
This is not a technical issue, inform the students/faculty that 'rapidshare' is not permitted on your network.. instead of silently blocking traffic you don't approve of (..inherently impossible), tell them the rules.
You're opening a door to the world, turning it into window will not stop people from trying to go outside.
Hope that helps.
I'm just sick of the lack of internet..
I appreciate your reply, but imo you can compare it to asking anyone not to steal, commit crime, .. and counting on it..
Something doesn't quite add up, when I put:
Since nothing I have told you is acceptable, or apparently applicable to your environment, then by all means, do whatever you wish. It is your network, and, when you break it, you get to keep the pieces.
Yes, if you have one Internet connection with a single public IP address, you need NAT to give those sixty people internet access.
How is the network infrastructure now?
RE: Hasselt
My nephew studied there Hassels is not that far from where I live, Budel, only 1 km from Hamont.
You don't need to be a genius to debug a pf.conf firewall ruleset, you just need the guts to run tcpdump
Make it crystal clear that they will have their network privileges taken away.. or even better, say they could even get kicked out of school.
This is really a test of wits, are you (..or the institute you work for) willing to follow through with punishing those who violate network rules?
Have these students sign something, making them aware of the rules and reprecusons.. if this is a wireless network, is there any sort of verification that they are even enrolled students? maybe this is a network security problem.
Good luck..
I am new to openbsd, but i am familiar with the terminology of networking.
I surely accept everything you (jggimi) say and I respect and confide your opinion since your knowlodge/experience >>> mine. I just think we are having a miscommunication.
furthermore I dont understand the difference between the 2 situations you described.
there is no difference in openbsd acting as 2nd router and being on the same physical network. it's both..
http://student.uhasselt.be/~0421625/toplogy.png -> this is the infrastructure
openbsd is DHCP and DNS here. So I think I need NAT on openbsd too..?
ps: since the modem/router is provided by the ISP i cant access it.. Only through putty telnet, but I dont have username/pw
@bsdfan666: I am not really in a position to 'punish' anyone because I am a student too, I am nor owner nor manager..
NAT is already functioning on your external facing router. All of your RFC 1918 addresses are already using NAT, therefore. An additional NAT address consolidation adds no value.
Yes, we are having communication difficulties, though your English is probably better than mine, and I am a native speaker.
so then the 1st router/modem will receive packets with ip.src = 192.168.1.x while its range is 192.168.0.1/24 .. I expected this to fail..
Welcome to IP routing.
Add an entry to the routing table in the external facing router, that routes packets destined for 192.168.1/24 via the OpenBSD address on the 192.168.0/24 network.
Well then, you can either have belgacom.be or skynet.be add that routing table entry to the router, or, give you local control so you can do it yourself.
Failing that 10 minute telephone conversation with their support staff (+32 2 202-4111), you can implement a second layer of NAT, which will introduce additional complexity for management, diagnostics, and administration.
i'm now going to configure the openbsd.
i didnt activate dns nor dhcp.
so i have 2 interfaces, hostname.if0 and hostname.if1
so now i am wondering what ip's they need to be set.
can i enter a static ip?
if0 = connected to router, so i would enter DCHP NONE NONE NONE in hostname.if0 .
is this correct? or do i need to put 'inet ...' in it too?
second, what ip can if1 have? is it the same range? do i need to make it static?
i dont know what to put in it and the manuals/guide/faq are unclear about it imo..
Your post also references hostname.if0 & hostname.if1. This is incorrect, however, you will find this in the documentation where "if" is used as a placeholder. Unlike Linux which identifies each Ethernet interface as "eth0", "eth1", etc., the *BSD family uses the specific driver used for the installed NIC. For example, in a Thinkpad laptop I use, the driver installed by the kernel is bge(4). This means that I have the following when setting up DHCP on this particular interface:
$ cat /etc/hostname.bge0
You will find what drivers are used in your system by studying the output of dmesg(8).
However, note that understanding the topic well takes more than a five minute scan.
The reason the external interface is set for a dynamic address is because this is the option your ISP is providing. You might be able to get a static IP address from your ISP, but typically static IP address mean higher monthly fees.
Most likely, you will want to use private addresses on your internal network as defined by RFC 1918:
If you are unfamiliar with private addressing, read the following in Wikipedia:
thx for the quick reply.
i just used if0 and if1 as references, i know about the names. sorry for the misunderstanding.
first I didn't want to activate the dhcp service.
though as you say, internal pc's need to set it as their default gateway. since I don't have access to my modem, I can't change it
this is why I need to have the if1 (internal) to act as dhcp and use NAT (since I can't access the modem to adjust the routing tables).
imo, todo:
if0 (interface to modem): I have to make the ip static because of NAT from if1 to if0
if1 (interface to internal network): I have to make the ip static (192.168.1.1) and enable DHCP to set it as default gateway
I'm late like the White Rabbit but here is a new choice
I am surprised that nobody suggested the solution that I use to do loads of DNS spoofing for other reasons. e.g. adblocking, malicious sites etc.
There is an OpenBSD package called dsniff which contains a program called dnsspoof. That intercepts any attempts to contact any DNS (on or beyond the firewall) and returns 127.0.0.1 (or whatever you choose) for any request that matches a rule in its conf file. Other requests pass unhindered.
The conf file allows wildcards which is great but you can unwittingly do silly things like blocking ad* which will mean you can't get to adsl.com.
It is just so easy to get and to use that I'm amazed at how little it is used.
Joostvgh would have has the same topology issues (routing/NAT) and easy circumventions (tunneling of DNS, private lookups, etc.) It is, in effect, merely replacing a DNS server with a server that acts like one.
But it -seems- it would be easier to adapt to the entire domain and changes within the domain as they occur than PF's more limited DNS resolution only at rule-load.

want is by forcing users to use your proxy server and then filtering content or in this case specific web-site by configuring proxy server.
thx for the tips. system is up and running now!
dsniff does exactly what i was looking for.
thx everyone for the help!

Hidden camera rule #17: try not to put them in things that people intently stare at as soon as they meet you.
The AME-105 fake ID card gets a lot of things right—this disguise is in many ways ideal for spy-camming, as the circuitry, battery, 4GB of flash memory and 352×288/15fps video camera can all fit quite naturally into the body. Unfortunately the concept falls flat when you realise that your nametag is probably the most-eyeballed item on your body body. The tiny text won't exactly help matter either.
Sadly for those who make their living spying on incredibly inattentive and/or senile people, the AME-105 is only available in Japan. [Akihabara]

´im gonna do you´
Posted by Pamela on December 22, 2006
In Reply to: ´im gonna do you´ posted by Brian from Shawnee on December 21, 2006
: : : : : : hello! I would like to ask what exactly means ´im gonna do you´.( Not used in context like doing a favour or something.) It was used in British English and I am wondering wether it is a slang and what it means.
: : : : : Yes, it is British slang. It's always said with a heavy meaningful stress on "do", and is short for a number of cheery phrases - "do you a damage", "do you over" (meaning, "beat you up very thoroughly") "do for you" (finish you off, literally or figuratively) or even - though rarely - "do you in" (kill you). (VSD)
: : : : In US English, it can be a crude promise to have sex with you ... with an implied bit of force
: : : I don't know to what degree U.S. television mirrors life, or whether it is as often the other way around, but on TV "to do someone" can be the act of either a man or a woman. And perhaps because men often gravitate towards the crudest verb around, it's at least as often women (sometimes, but not always, fallen ones) who use this expression to describe their activities with a man. It's my impression that this meaning of "do" is a recent one.
: : : I'm relying on the absence of any adverb in manca's question to define it as above. Were she to have said "I'm gonna do you next," the speaker could be a hairdresser or some other provider of personal servides.
: : What, has no one flayed me for my last post? In talking about personal services, who could be a more obvious provider of personal services than a woman who promises that she's going to do you.
: : Actually, I'm waiting for manca to give us a bit more of the context than she has. "I'm gonna do you" sounds a bit threatening. Victoria is probably close to the truth.
: I'm reminded of Tim the Enchanter's warning to King Arthur's knights about the killer rabbit: "He'll do you up a treat, mate!"
: I'm also reminded of the teenaged female character on an episode of House last year, who chided her middle aged, divorced father, chirping, "Next time you do Mom, use a rubber."
For some reason "I'm gunna do you like a dinner pops into my mind, although from where I know not. In Australia "Do you" means either "have sex with" or "injure" depending on context. The injury can be literal or figurative. Pamela

Users can socket their 141 pin 1.27mm pitch LTM4609 IC's with socket whose footprint same as IC footprint
EAGAN, MN - January, 2013 - Ironwood Electronics' new high performance socket - SF-BGA141A-B-32F allows 1.27mm pitch, 15x15mm body, 12X12 array Linear's high efficiency switching mode buck-boost power supply IC to be placed in socket and operated without compromising performance in DC/DC applications.
The Giga-snaP™ BGA socket adapter pair consists of SF-BGA141A-B-32F, patented female BGA sockets with machined pins epoxy over molded into an assembly that matches the male pin LS-BGA141A-31 adapter. The RoHS compliant SF-BGA141A-B-32F BGA socket is soldered to a PCB using standard soldering methods without warping which results in reliable connection to PCB. Both BGA socket and adapter are constructed with high temperature FR-4 body assuring match with target PCB's and preventing failures that occur due to CTE mismatch. LS-BGA141A-31 BGA adapter, to which the user attaches a target 141 pin Linear's power supply chip or other compatible chip, is plugged into the female BGA socket on the board, thereby chip is interconnected and the system is ready to go.
The BGA socket adapters have the same solder ball types as the IC they are emulating. The Giga-snaP™ BGA socket adapters require half the force of conventional adapters at 5 pounds for the 141 pin device. The electrical path of the Giga-snaP™ BGA socket adapters is a high priority performance issue with the physical length from the top connection point on the male adapter to the solder ball on the female socket is 4.5 mm. This is the shortest connection length by far for machined pin sockets, therefore providing better transmission of high frequency signals. These adapters passed environmental tests (MIL-STD) and qualified for power supply applications. The Giga-snaP™ BGA socket adapter line is available in many different pin counts/pitches and customs can be delivered in days.
Pricing for the SF-BGA141A-B-32F @qty1 = $32.00 each with reduced pricing available depending on quantity required.

At last night's Saturn Awards, I was able to speak with director Richard Donner and Lauren Shuler Donner on the Red Carpet before the show. During the extended interview they both talked about how they're trying to bring The Goonies and Dave to Broadway. And if you're a fan of the X-Men movies, Shuler Donner talked about where they are with Deadpool and X-Men: First Class.
But the interesting thing I learned last night is Shuler Donner wants to produce Wonder Woman and she's currently campaigning to get the job. You can see what she said about that project and everything else after the jump. I've time indexed the interview so you can watch the parts that interest you:
Finally, in case you're not aware, Shuler Donner produced X-Men, X2, X-Men: The Last Stand, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine…so she's someone who knows a lot about what's going on in the X-Men movie world. Here's the interview. The superhero stuff starts around 7:25
Richard Donner and Lauren Shuler Donner
- Has he been to the Saturn Awards
- :40 – What is the one film people always want to talk to him about. Says The Goonies
- 1:05 – Goonies 2 talk and the 25th Anniversary screening
- 1:55 – Goonies Broadway talk. Also mentions Dave going to Broadway
- 2:50 – The awesome theme song.
- 3:15 – When will it be on Broadway. Says hopefully 2 years
- 3:50 – Laura Shuler Donner joins us. I ask about Dave the musical and how far along are they
- 4:55 – Does she think the musical will follow the movie exactly and will they try and get Kevin Kline
- 5:40 – Baby It's You talk – another play
- 6:45 – What's going on with her superhero movies
- 7:25 – Deadpool movie talk – mentions that Ryan Reynolds has been working with the writers. Hopes to be going next year.
- 8:45 – Says she is campaigning to produce Wonder Woman at WB. She explains what she would want to do with the character
- 9:55 – I ask who does she think could play Wonder Woman
- 10:30 – X-Men: First Class talk – we talk about Bryan Singer, the script, Michael Fassbender
- 11:25 – Other casting stuff on X-Men
- 11:40 – Says they start filming in August and in London. Mostly in studio and they want to go practical
- 12:20 – How is Matthew Vaughn been on the project and how will the action be

On the season premiere of "The Office," Michael Scott, with his usual tongue-tied bluster, tries to out-folksy his southern-fried-aphorism-spewing boss while defending his new assistant: his screw-up nephew, Luke.
The office, an exasperated Michael explained on Thursday's episode, is "my pool" and his nephew is always welcome to "work in my pool" (even, apparently, if he's floundering).
As Steve Carell begins his final season on the long-running NBC comedy, we won't try to extend Michael's tortured analogy (Will "The Office" drown without Carell? Will his departure leave the show all wet?).
We'll simply savor the moment as classic Michael Scott – and as a reminder of the irreplaceable character we'll soon be losing.
Ricky Gervais, creator of the brilliant original UK version of "The Office," played David Brent, another hopelessly clueless boss too caught up in his own delusional vision of himself as benevolent father-figure/comedian to realize he was wreaking havoc with people's lives. Gervais' cringe-inducing adventure into the comedy of the awkward stretched over 7½ of the best hours in TV history.
Carell's take on the character – he somehow makes us like or at least feel a protective embarrassment for the often infuriating but ultimately pathetic shlub – has us wanting more of Michael, even beyond his seventh and final season.
Other shows – M*A*S*H" and "Cheers" – have forged on successfully after losing major characters, but never quite this late in the game. We probably have a limited imagination, but we're having a hard time seeing "The Office" without Carell.
Carell, in a promotional video interview on "The Office" website, suggests this season will be energized by his impending departure. "We all know at least where this plotline is headed in sort of a general sense," he said, noting that his plan to leave, in a way, is "doing a service" to the show.
His humility aside, Carell might have a point. "The Office" has been a tad uneven since Jim and Pam's wedding, though it's been buoyed by the introduction of Kathy Bates as Jo Bennett, the new owner of Dunder Mifflin (now Dunder Mifflin Sabre).
Any story arc leading up to Michael's departure will give new focus and stakes to the goofy battles between Jim and Dwight (especially now that Dwight owns the office – or at least the building), and other intra-office absurdity. There's also the hope – hinted at in last season's finale – that Michael might be reunited with Holly, his soulmate in silliness.
But that doesn't give us much of an idea – at least not yet – of what will happen in Season 8. We'll note, with a chuckle, that the season premiere of "The Office" came a day after the announcement of the new judges on "American Idol," almost as if clearing the way for the next big off-camera replacement drama (Harvey Keitel's name has been floated – more almost certainly will follow).
New York magazine offered a clever take on the speculation by asking various TV drama writers to come up with scenarios for Carell's last episode. Damon Lindelof of "Lost" fame suggested turning Michael's office into a shrine. "I would love to continue to feel his presence on this show," Lindelof said. "You can't just pretend he wasn't there."
While we're not sure about the shrine idea, we agree with the sentiment: Michael Scott/Steve Carell will loom large long after this season. So we're going to sit back and enjoy Carell's final-season victory lap, knowing no matter who takes over as manager of Dunder Mifflin Sabre's Scranton branch, he or she will be diving into Michael Scott's pool – er, office.
