…to the most thoroughly awesome movie ever.
I'm seriously proud of this one:
(Filed under EXT. CITY – NIGHT.)
The following is the first chapter of a novel my father began about fifteen years ago. He never finished it, and thanks to the way the Endless are, he never will — but at least it provides evidence that I come by my expository style naturally.
Reading it now, after all this time, I can't help but feel that Joe Bob worked for the Discovery Institute.
BAMM!!! Then, again, BAAAAMMMMM!!
Then, one more time, hard, BAAAAAMMMMMMMMMM!
The echo pounded back and forth off the walls of the dingy little hotel room. And damn near made my ears bleed.
Finally, I'd done it. That asshole Joe Bob was downright dead. But it wasn't over.
I smelled as much as heard the other one, off to my right. I didn't think. I just dropped down on my right knee and swung the barrel over on a shape hunkered in the corner…. But — even in the evening shadow — I could see the body language didn't say "ambush." It was more like cowering.
I know. I shoulda just blown that other muther away, too. Those two lowlifes had given me every reason to blow them both straight into dogshit heaven.
There were four rounds left in my fist. And the sick hate boiling up in my gut — and the adrenaline rush — wanted to flat out kill the other one too.
But she just looked so damn pathetic.
So, I'd regret it later. That's how it always seems to go.
She just moaned: "Ohhhh, shit! Ahhhhh… heeeey…. whyja havta do that fo' … Whoa…. "
Like I say. Pretty pathetic. Right?
I'll grant you, that cheap little room was quite a sight. Impressive ugliness. Well, $12.50 a night doesn't buy much to begin with. A 10-foot by 12-foot worn-carpet space with a saggy twin bed, a beyond-scuffy dresser and a dirty two-foot-wide window view of the brick across the street. And now…

Argh. Somehow I've become the rewrite guy for a paper on modeling the United States healthcare system. Big chunks of the material we have so far is a direct transcript from somebody's talk, so it has to be thoroughly revamped. Also, the people we're writing it for have apparently forgotten everything junior high school taught them about logarithms, which makes explaining why a power-law distribution looks like a straight line on a log-log plot rather, well, interesting. I've been told to exile all actual equations to the sidebar. While I get on with my head-impact-wall moment, here's something I found on my hard drive. I promise some juicy and weird stuff about statistical physics and neuroscience, once I regain my esteem for humanity.
"These are dark times, my fellow Americans.
"Do you know what is happening across this country? Dawn is sweeping from one coast to the other, mothers are rousing their children from bed, and children are walking and bicycling to school, where they are being taught how to lie with statistics. In math class, little Johnny is learning how the axes of a graph can be distorted, the dangers of selection bias and that correlation is not causation. He and Mary go to English class, where they're trained in today's tool from the 'baloney detection kit'. They learn that 'All the aggressor's attempts to advance beyond Baghdad have failed' is a cover for the loss of Baghdad. I've just received poll results showing that for the first time, seventy-two percent of Americans know that electrons are smaller than atoms, seventy-eight percent believe that human beings evolved from a common ancestor shared with apes, and ninety-two percent know that the Earth travels around the Sun! These figures shock us all, I know, but they are only the most visible edge of a phenomenon which threatens the continued existence of our organization.

And now, we return (momentarily) to Earth, where Warren Ellis has found a particularly inane screed from the Science Fiction Writers of America's current vice-president. Quoting just a little bit:
I'm also opposed to the increasing presence in our organization of webscabs, who post their creations on the net for free. A scab is someone who works for less than union wages or on non-union terms; more broadly, a scab is someone who feathers his own nest and advances his own career by undercutting the efforts of his fellow workers to gain better pay and working conditions for all. Webscabs claim they're just posting their books for free in an attempt to market and publicize them, but to my mind they're undercutting those of us who aren't giving it away for free and are trying to get publishers to pay a better wage for our hard work.
The comments on Ellis's site are, for the most part, scathing (although one person already wonders if it's all a joke). Snide remarks about "webscabs" are just the sort of thing which make me want to give words away for free. Unfortunately, I don't have too much science fiction sitting around in such a state that I would call it ready for release. . . .
One SF vignette follows below the fold. Nothing serious — just some text with which one can play "Count the Allusions."

The Subjective and Objective Evaluation of Incentive Stock Options
AbstractOwners of incentive options invariably hold undiversified portfolios. This paper derives a model for the subjective and objective values of such options. The subjective value—the value to the holder—is less than the market value because the option is held in an undiversified portfolio and because it is exercised suboptimally from the market perspective. The objective value is the cost to the firm of issuing the option and lies between the market and subjective values. This value recognizes the suboptimal exercise but not the undiversified discount. The model, which is the Black-Scholes model with modified parameters, is simple to use.

George Pleased With Pace, Progress Of Reunification In 2008
Wednesday, December 03, 2008
Share |
Less than 10 months ago, Indy Racing League Founder and CEO Tony George seized an opportunity to unify North American open-wheel racing after a contentious and costly decade.
The 2008 season was quickly approaching, allowing little time to integrate and update teams that sought to transition to the IndyCar Series from Champ Car. While the process wasn't without headaches, results on and off the racetrack were immediate and portend for steady growth. George smiled broadly when reflecting on how a spirit of cooperation enveloped the year.
"I think the first year of unification went as well as anyone could have hoped," George said during a wide-ranging question-and-answer session Dec. 2 at the ninth Motorsports Marketing Forum presented by Street & Smith's Sports Business Journal in New York.
"There was plenty of opportunity to have not lived up to anyone's expectations. Given the late opportunity - the season was about to start - there's was a tremendous amount of challenge to be overcome. But everyone pulled together and made sure that the equipment was in the hands of the teams so they could go about their business."
Officials of the sanctioning Indy Racing League, manufacturers and teams worked with new entrants to get them up to speed as quickly as possible. Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing's Graham Rahal victory on the streets of St. Petersburg, Fla., in the second race of the season - becoming the youngest winner in IndyCar Series history - validated the procedures and spirit of cooperation. Rahal was among the six first-time winners in the 2008 campaign, and one of nine different victors.
"After we got through the first couple of races, it was always my feeling that by Indianapolis we would really start to come together, and I think we did," George said. "There was still some uncertainty in the minds of many that whether the (new teams) were going to be competitive. Getting to Indianapolis you had a couple of weeks of practice and four days of qualifying and then a 500-mile race with the big stage and the spotlight on everybody. I think it kind of settled everyone, and that's when we started coming together as one.
"Up until that point, there was still a lot of talk about Champ Car drivers and IRL drivers, and I think we all became IndyCar teams at that point. We went from transition teams to we're all one series. I would view 2008 as a great success, and I look forward to 2009."
Now the Indianapolis Motor Speedway's Centennial Era, which kicks off in 2009, dovetails with unification under the IndyCar Series banner. The Speedway celebrates its 100th birthday next year, with programs and special events planned to commemorate its contributions to American automobile history and sports.
"It's nice to have a big milestone or a big anniversary to celebrate on the heels of unification," said George, the CEO of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. "We look to take full advantage of the beginning of our Centennial Era celebration, and I'm excited.
"I think unification was a long time coming, but it's now behind us and we have a very deep and competitive field of cars. We're all looking forward to next season. There will be some challenges pulling things together for next year, but we've been through the biggest challenge, and I think that was pulling it together at all.
"I hear every day of more drivers that are interested in coming to the series and hear talk of new potential teams for next year. There will probably be one or two that don't return, but hopefully a team that comes in will be able to take advantage of this opportunity that's been created."
Just as George did less than a year ago.

We said recently that most of the season's best sales had come to an end, but as it turns out, we were wrong. ShopBop's seasonal markdowns are still happening, and the site just took new deductions to fresh and existing sale pieces alike. Both Hilary and I couldn't stop ourselves from making a little purchase or two, and we think that you'll feel similarly inspired.
Naturally, we took some time out of our own shopping activities to put together what we think are the best accessories at the best prices. From an Alexander Wang wallet at 70% off to an Erickson Beamon cuff that could barely be crazier, we think you'll find something that tickles your fancy. Check out our favorites after the jump or shop the full sale selection via ShopBop.

The Better Business Bureau is warning about a wave of bogus emails
floating around that could cost you. Not only can these emails trick you they
can also mess up your computer.
The BBB said it was able to take down the site that was behind
this recent scam. The scam targeted consumers and business owners.
The email claimed someone
had filed a consumer complaint on you or your business with the New York City BBB. Inside the emails, they included a link to a complaint response page. The link can download
malware and a virus onto your computer.
BBB representatives said there is a sign to look for when emails come
directly from them.
"If a business in our area gets a complaint from the BBB
North Alabama it does have the consumer's name, who has filed the complaint and
the details in that email about the complaint so they would be able to read it,"
said Vice President of BBB North Alabama Belinda McCormick.
If you do get an email
like this, the BBB wants you to forward it to them. For more information on
how to contact the BBB click here - http://go.bbb.org/1oBOclR

Marvel Heroes: free online MMO
Marvel Heroes is a free-to-play MMO (massively multiplayer online game) created by David Brevik, the visionary behind Diablo.

Oh my! Not happy with the mega movie pay cheques and unlimited prequels and following sequels. They have made the video games and now a MMO game to wow the fans with.
Have they not realised that such games like World of Wastcraft have had so many people leaving in droves, that just releasing a patch/upgrade with extra quests and a few new skins to unlock wont make them come back.
I feel this will be the same.
It's a shame, i like the super hero movies, comics and animations that have been released over the years.... But i think this is a bit too much!

About Us
For 34 years, Jessica's Biscuit®/ecookbooks.com has been America's Cookbook Store™, offering 20%-75% off everyday on over 18,000 titles.
Jessica's Biscuit®/ecookbooks.com is not about biscuits. It is about cookbooks--thousands of them--from every corner of the world and every cuisine under the sun, from basic to gourmet, from bestsellers, to hard-to-find titles, to out-of-print classics. And all at substantial savings--up to 75% discounts, every day.
While other similar companies have come and gone, Jessica's Biscuit® remains. The approach is simple: offer the world's most comprehensive collection of cookbooks with unparalleled service at the lowest prices. If it's a cookbook and it's in print, chances are Jessica's has it, or can get it. If its not in print, Jessica's will go out of its way to find it or to make it available, that is, if it doesn't have it already.
The cookbooks by mail concept that brought about Jessica's Biscuit® began as a brainstorm 34 years ago in the living room of David Strymish's Newton, Massachusetts home. That first idea sparked what is now the nation's leading, most comprehensive and successful mail-order/internet cookbook source. Jessica's Biscuit® is still located in Newton, Massachusetts, though not in a living room.
In 1980, David Strymish and Mark Landau (who now works in publishing for HarperCollins Publishers) took the first step in creating Jessica's Biscuit® when they placed a small advertisement in Gourmet Magazine: a single ad, offering a single cookbook. The effort yielded seven orders, and though it was not an overwhelming response, something told them to continue. They photocopied 20 black and white catalogs and included one in each order they mailed out. They received five reorders, and pushed forward.
Not long after that, Jessica's moved out of the living room and into two tiny rooms in the back of the New England Mobile Book Fair®, the family independent bookstore and book business started by David's father in 1957. During the early 1980's Jessica's staffed two customer service people, a writer and a designer. Orders were packed and mailed out by David himself. Today the company has a full-time staff of twenty, a warehouse bulging at the seams, and hope for the future. Sometimes, David still picks and packs orders. In fact, if you call Jessica's Biscuit® to ask a question or to order books there is a good chance you will speak to David, as he still answers customer phone calls for at least a few hours each day. The original customer base of five has grown to tens of thousands of satisfied customers, most of whom receive Jessica's regular email newsletters (you may sign up at ecookbooks.com) along with 24 hour access to the ecookbooks.com website.
Jessica's Biscuit® takes its cookbooks seriously. Fourteen years ago, when David Strymish realized that one of the most important bread-baking books was no longer available, he arranged to reprint it. Biscuit Books™--a sister company of Jessica's Biscuit®/ecookbooks.com™--made its publishing debut by printing a beautiful new edition of Elizabeth David's English Bread and Yeast Cookery followed by Elizabeth David Classics. In the years following, Biscuit Books™ has released eight more titles--all much-loved but out-of-print classics. Says David, "These authors are researchers who bring us history. One of the things we do is to preserve and to perpetuate heritage."
In some ways, it is no surprise that David Strymish found his way into the world of cookbooks--books were in his blood. In the 1950's his father, Louis Strymish, created the New England Mobile Book Fair®, an amazing 35,000 square foot single-store warehouse offering discounts on new and remaindered books of every type. Louis was a visionary and a bookselling legend. In a seemingly disorganized warehouse, he could locate and identify any book, much the way David can with cookbooks. David recalls how his dad enthusiastically encouraged him from the very inception of Jessica's Biscuit®, projecting that "One day you'll get 100 orders!"
What has remained unchanged throughout the years of significant growth is the philosophy and culture of the company. The staff, past and present, shares a reverence for cookbooks, a delight in quality writing and an unwavering commitment to customer service. Conceived informally and spontaneously, named at the spur of the moment after the founders' two dogs, Jessica and Biscuit, the company has retained its friendly and low-key approach while at the same time evolving into a viable business and the leading mail-order/internet cookbook company in the United States. The goal of Jessica's Biscuit®/ecookbooks.com™ remains to keep the cookbook classics alive by providing them to new readers, while at the same time offering new classics-in-the-making at the best prices and with unparalleled customer service.

Jeff Neal, CHCO, Homeland Security Department
Part 1
Part 2
Jump to main content.
The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks forced the government to transform. The change has been both subtle and dramatic, encompassing everything from building security, to computer security, to how agencies hire and perform background checks. In the 10 years since that fateful day, the government also has created new things, including an entire agency. But maybe the biggest change has been the influx of federal employees inspired to serve. Federal News Radio evaluates the impact these changes have made on how the government meets this crucial mission and on the employees and contractors who are called upon daily to protect the homeland.

They say an enemy is just a friend you haven't given a foot massage yet. Get to work on your resolution to spend more time with your enemies with today's Groupon to White River Paintball. For $10, you get open play admission, rental equipment (all-day air, semi-automatic paint marker and tank, goggles, loader pack), and 50 paintballs, a $30 value. Fulfill fantasies of expertly evading crossfire as you infiltrate enemy territory and annihilate the opposition faster than Reverend Johnson threatens to leave town after discovering that the sheriff has been murdered. Or just spatter strangers with neon splotches. White River Paintball is designed with both novices and expert players in mind, so you don't need years of mercenary training or a Blu-ray copy of Blazing Saddles to try it out.
Flushed from his position, a player dashes from behind a tree and toward a bridge. Just as he reaches the opposite side, he hears "Dead man!" as an opponent pops up from underneath. Paintball Country's outdoor fields?which include an air ball field, six speedball fields, and five woods fields?present combatants with loads of such tactic-testing terrain. As referees maintain house rules to keep players safe, teams navigate obstacles such as two-story tower buildings, upturned cable spools, and corrugated tubing. Between firefights, Paintball Country's staff serves refreshments such as pizza, nachos, and victory-flavored energy drinks. An onsite pro shop also caters to guests with advice and equipment sales.
PaintballTickets.com has promoted major paintball battlefields across the country for more than 20 years. Its paint-splattered footprint encompasses fields all over the United States—and even in other countries, such as South Africa. Promotions include packaging attractive deals for paintballers that include admission and equipment rental. With deals planned, they expose players to great deals and field owners to new visitors.
BlastZone Paintball's 20 acres of outdoor playfields incorporate the area's dense trees and open fields. Across six wooded courses, fallen branches, trails, and leaves set the stage for stealthy play, and a speedball field fosters quicker games. As colorful barrages fly, BlastZone's safety equipment absorbs the shots and protects the body from welts or hail damage. Away from the paint-covered battlefield, certified techs man an on-site gear shop. A free-to-use grill cooks up visitors' brought-from-home eats, which they can nibble at a covered picnic area.
Close-combat guerilla paintball matches lob combatants into a woodland field or speedball course for fast-paced war games supervised by trained referees. In the woodsball field, soldiers slide behind some 130 bunkers, ducking under branches and leaping over fallen logs while dodging fire and infiltrating a two-story wooden fort. Referees oversee various forms of gameplay—from standard single or double elimination bouts—to more tactical scenarios such as capture the flag, medic, predator, or marines vs. aliens.
Though Paintball Hill sometimes features a discounted price for field admission on the third Sunday of each month, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

Here have some feels :D
Sam always thought that Dean lost his virginity to some pretty girl from school, but really that was the story he always told. In reality he was 16 years old and their dad had been away for pushing a month. Food was running out and it'd been three days since he'd ate anything because Sam needed it more. One night he left, telling Sam he was going out with some girl from school. Reality he heard about a guy who'd pay big bucks for a virgin. That night when he came home with food he claimed he won the money in a pool game. When they climbed into their separate beds to go to sleep, Sam woke up to Dean crying in his sleep. Not knowing what was wrong he did the only thing he could think of doing. The same thing Dean would always do when Sam would have nightmares. He climbed into Dean's bed, wrapped his arms around him and quietly hummed Hey Jude.

SHEFFIELD, Mass. – Authorities say a Delaware man died while hiking the Appalachian Trail in western Massachusetts.
Authorities say it happened when the 28-year-old male fell down a 35-foot ravine.
The Sheffield Police Chief said he received the emergency call at 1:45p.m. Wednesday, and was one of the first people to respond the scene. When he got there, the police chief says a group of college students were trying to help the victim.
The victim was hiking with his 22-year-old brother at Race Brook Falls near the Connecticut border. Authorities say the victim died as rescuers rushed him from the scene. The younger brother was not injured.
No names have yet been released.

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — A July 25 sentencing is set for a man convicted of killing a Norfolk student after a high school football game.
Media outlets report that a Norfolk Circuit Court jury found 20-year-old Carnell Vaughan guilty on Wednesday of second-degree murder and use of a firearm.
Prosecutors say Vaughan shot 19-year-old Lake Taylor High School student David L. White as White was leaving the school's game at Booker T. Washington High School on the night of Sept. 28, 2012. The shooting occurred near the school.
The shooting prompted Norfolk Public Schools to switch to Saturday afternoon high school football games that year. School officials cited safety concerns for the decision.

Tried this last night:
1. Tria Carneros Viognier (13.5%) 1995: Med.gold color; rather pencilly/Mosel valve oil/gout de petrol some spicy/fragrant/peachy/Viognier bit complex lovely/beautiful nose; med.tart very lush/creamy/bit buttery peachy/pear/Viognier quite spicy lovely flavor; long very spicy/peachy/valve oil complex finish; very much alive & vibrant and a genuine pleasure to drink. $21.00
And a wee BloodyPulpit:
1. I was looking for something to drink with my leftover choucroute garni (Alsatian colloquialism for weenies & kraut; that famed/classic Kansas dish). As I rummaged around in my back room, there was this lost btl of Viognier, standing upright for some 10 yrs, not so good storage conditions. I expected it to be pretty much dead and gone.
It was not....still very much alive and well and a delight to drink. Exactly what the choucroute needed.
This Tria wine was made back when Bill Knuttle (now of DryCreekVnyds and Ottomino, formerly of ChalkHillWnry) still owned the label and was making the wines. There were, in its day, some real gems that Bill produced. This one was nice, but just that, when I first got it. One of those not-so-frequent examples of a Viognier that was improved with age.
Not sure what vnyd this wine came from, as Viognier doesn't seem to be very widely planted in Carnedros.

What a dope the president is.
What a wise and fair man our president is. We don't deserve him.
Well, at least they got it done before the markets opened
The President's brinkmanship has availed the American people. It is about time that this dangerous impasse ended.
What we need is for all of us to pray ! The same way Martin Luther King marched for our Civil Rights…we need to march on over to Washington and PRAY!!!!! This world needs prayer. Stop blaming President Obama for events that were to come…these things were already in the process. President Obama has been trying to clean up this nations mess. The President has years of mess to clean up, from George W. Bush Sr. to his son George Bush Jr.
Obama is human,
and he is cleaning up the mess that was left before him. Lets just know that he is working for the poor.
hahaha yeah WE definitely don't deserve HIM
the fact is the best way to get out of debt is to increase revenues by increased employment. the best way to do this is to produce jobs. to pruduce jobs you must increase demand for products and services. that occurs with increased capital in the hands of those most likely to spend it. that group is the middle class. and it has for decades been systematically diminished. we do not need government spending we need strategic investments from both the public and private sectors.
So the President is still going on "tax breaks"….he just doesn't get it that the money is ours in the first place and no one, especially him, is giving anyone a "break" by letting us spend our money as we see fit. He thinks all the money starts as his. Well if he wants to do a "deal" we will stop using one of our tools for business…the jet airplane….if he will stop using his (Airforce One). Wait…that's not a fair comparison….we pay for our own travel and he has the taxpayers pay ALL for his….to the tune of about $300,000,000 per year (about $75,000 per HOUR just to operate one of the Presidents 2 planes)!!
Obama has consistently failed in his role as POTUS, ducking every responsibilty and abdicating his role to the Democrats in Congress. The "man" is a failure.
"The President's brinkmanship has availed the American people. It is about time that this dangerous impasse ended." his brinkmanship? The idea that tax incentives/bush tax cuts were allowed to be extended at all are insane, there should have been cuts/taxes and 4+ trillion over 10 years. This is a joke, and while he deserves his fair share of blame the republican party is once again sinking the ship. Bush tacked almost 8 trillion onto our debt and decided that tax breaks+ deficit spending during an economic expansion were justified… The first rule of Keynesian theory is to save those tools in order to spend your way out of recessionary gaps. Every single one of you who thinks that was acceptable and condemns Obama are not only hypocrites but shining examples of why we are here today, you are likely unemployed and were among those who fell for no money down adjustable rate mortgages or the mutual funds comprised of their cdo's.
The press secretary did not include all the President said. This "transcript" leaves out the President's spoken words of plans for an Infrastructure Bank.
Did the President speak about future plans without Mr. Plouffe's and Mr. Sterling's blessing?
What gives, Mr. Press Secretary?

this tent was great for us - two people and a good-sized dog. it fit our *cough* queen-sized blowup mattress (car camping should be comfortable, right??), and we loved the gear loft - we stuck a small lantern up there for reading at night, plus stuff like glasses and sunglasses. the mesh kept things plenty cool even though we were camping in the desert, and when the wind picked up, the vents helped keep the tent from becoming an expensive sky decoration.
Great tent. Great space.
Steve Meier
Member since
I've owned this tent for about 6 years and can tell you it is a great tent. I am 6 ft, 240 lbs and I have 3 teenage sons, one that is 6 ft tall as well, and the tent is spacious, a breeze to set up, holds 2 backpacks in each vestibule, and divided up among us, not unreasonable in its weight to hike with. The price is tough to beat. We've been sheltered up through some awful storms, including heavy hail, in the mountains and the tent held up perfectly. It's too heavy to carry for 2-3 hikers but if you need shelter for 4 hikers, this is a good way to go.

My Breast Agumentation Experience Was Amazing! Love Dr. Pousti! - San Diego, CA
A friend refferred me to Dr. Pousti, and I loved her results. After looking at his website, and all of his other reviews on other websites, I knew he was a great surgeon. After meeting him, I knew he'd be my surgeon. I couldn't begin to imagine a better experience with my breast augmentation. I felt so comfortable the minute I walked into Dr. Pousti's Murrieta office, all the girls there talked to me like a friend and when I met Dr. Pousti, I knew he was going to be my surgeon. His confidence made me sure my results were going to be great. Right before I was going to be sedated, Dr. Pousti and his nurse held my hand which definitely put me at ease. After the surgery, they made sure I was comfortable, and the hour drive back home was a breeze! I received a phone call everyday, just to see how I was doing and if I had any questions. I was never under any pain, only discomfort at times. After about a week I was able to be out and about, while taking it easy of course. It has been a little over 2 months since my surgery and my results are amazing! I could not be any more thankful to Dr. Pousti for giving me this new confidence. He is definitely a wonderful surgeon.
Comments (1)
Thanks for your doctor testimonial. In order to add it to the breast implant community we need to know more about YOU. More about why you needed this done, what sort of implants you went with, how your recovery was, etc. This is all very valuable to the RealSelf Community.

And Monday in The Chicago Tribune, James Oliphant will have an article headlined "New drug rules won't crack many jail doors."
Posted at 10:30 PM by Howard Bashman
The Washington Post reports today that "Destruction of CIA Tapes Defended."
The New York Times reports that "Court Inquiry on Tape Case Is Opposed."
And at "SCOTUSblog," Lyle Denniston has a post titled "US: CIA tapes issue not for courts."
Posted at 02:02 PM by Howard Bashman
The article is reporting on this past Wednesday's en banc reargument before an eleven-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. You can download the en banc oral argument audio via this link (9.95MB Windows Media audio file).
I have listened to the audio from three Ninth Circuit en banc oral arguments that have occurred last week, the first en banc arguments held since Alex Kozinski became that court's chief judge. (I provided links to download those three oral arguments in earlier posts here and here.) Appellate advocates should be aware that en banc oral arguments before the Ninth Circuit seem to have taken on a much less advocate-friendly tenor since Kozinski has become that court's chief judge and thus has begun to preside over that court's en banc hearings.
My two favorite recurring instances of this are when the new chief judge aggressively asks the advocate, "Why are you talking at the same time I am talking?!" which invariably occurs after Kozinski has taken a long pause and then starts speaking again at the same time that the lawyer believes that it is safe to resume arguing his case. This outburst from the bench was then followed by a lengthy lull or further admonishment of counsel during which time no further progress in arguing the case occurred, while the clock keeping track of the time remaining for the advocate's oral argument continues its steady march toward the red light. The new chief judge also has several times during these arguments interrupted to tell the advocate that the advocate is wasting the court's time by making whatever argument the advocate was in the midst of making. Whether the other ten judges on the en banc panel likewise believed that their time was being wasted is not readily apparent.
Of course, attorneys at oral argument should not be talking at the same time that a judge is talking and should not be wasting a court's time discussing irrelevant matters. My point here is merely that attorneys who were used to the old style of en banc oral argument before the Ninth Circuit where they were not as likely to be put through the wringer should be prepared to receive a different sort of treatment while at the lectern under the new regime.

The students in this wintersession Architectonics class taught by Aki Ishida will install a field of illuminated rice paper lanterns in Japan Society's atrium. The project is a part of j-CATION, a 12-hour multi-media event to take place on April 9, 2011. Inspired by traditional Japanese lantern festivals, the installation will educate the public on the use of light and shadow in Japanese architecture, and celebrates the ephemeral, fleeting nature of materials traditionally used in Japanese rituals and events. The students will design the prototypes during wintersession, fabricate the lanterns at RISD in March, transport them to NYC and install them at the Japan Society in early April. The installation involves visitor participation. During the April 9 event, the students will run an all-day workshop to teach the visitors to make the paper lanterns and add them to the installation over the 12 hours.
The project is funded by the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership Education grant, RISD Architecture Department and the Japan Society.
The class consists of nine freshmen and three sophomores, most of them looking to major in architecture. These images are from week 5 of the course. More images and updates on Japan Society's website to follow, so please stay tuned.

Grades 4 and 5
The Me I Want to Be
Lesson Plans | Additional
Internet Resources
Unit Introduction: Self-esteem
Although experts are not unanimous when it comes to a precise
definition of the term "self-esteem", they tend to agree that
there is a strong link between how much we value ourselves
and how much confidence we have in our own abilities. Our
self-esteem plays a significant role in our social, emotional
and physical well-being. The value we attribute to ourselves
has a major impact on our social relationships, on our confidence
in our ability to set goals for ourselves and to achieve them,
and on our ability to resist pressures which may lead to health-risking
Whether we have high or low self-esteem depends on how we
perceive ourselves and on how that image compares with what
we think we should be, based on various external and internal
standards. Children who view themselves as inferior to their
peers, to the images projected in the media, to the expectations
of the school or of their family have low self-esteem. In
turn, this attitude prevents them from living up to their
potential. Conversely, children who have high self-esteem
tend to reach higher, to become better students, better learners,
and to develop leadership skills. In other words, self-esteem
and achievement, whether low or high, are mutually reinforcing.
Feeling good about who we are starts with knowing ourselves
and accepting ourselves the way we are. It sounds simple enough.
Yet how much we value ourselves, how good we feel about ourselves
is influenced by many factors. It is important for students
to learn to assess and define who they are, to appreciate
and value their uniqueness, to acknowledge the richness of
diversity, and to be proud of who they are.
Students need to realize that they can choose to have
a healthy self-esteem. However, helping them take control
of their self-esteem requires the gradual development of interrelated
knowledge, skills and attitudes: they need to develop a sense
of who they are, to recognize their own strengths and value
them, to develop respect for their limitations, to demonstrate
respect for differences, to recognize potential sources of
negative influence on their behaviour, and to develop assertiveness
skills to resist such pressures. These skills and attitudes
are to be developed gradually throughout the elementary level.
Helping students to develop a healthy self-esteem requires
collaborative efforts on the part of the whole school, the
family and the community.
Grade Level Perspectives
This model unit is designed to help students in grades 4
and 5 strengthen their self-esteem. Resources, as well as
most activities, are the same for both grade levels, as all
students will reflect on their interests and abilities, on
the people who support them and nurture the development of
their self-esteem, and on the pressures which tend to have
a negative influence on their self-esteem.
However, some activities are designed to help students reflect
on the topic of self-esteem from the point of view of their
particular grade level perspective:
Gathering Resources
Specific titles are suggested in this unit only as examples.
These and other appropriate titles are listed in Health
Education: An Initial List of Implementation Materials for
the Elementary Level, 1998. Additional instructional
materials to support this curriculum will be listed in Health
Education: A Bibliography for the Elementary Level, scheduled
to be published in the spring of 1999.
Teachers are encouraged to investigate possibilities for
using resources suggested in other lists of materials, such
as the bibliographies accompanying the curriculum guides for
all other areas of study.
In addition to the school's resource centre and the public
library, check the following sources for instructional materials:
It is also important to access local human resources such
as health professionals, parents, or Elders. As in all subject
