Turning Down the Dodgers
"They do everything with such passion and to such detail. You don't play with that detail without loving it. I don't care if somebody's bossing you around, making you do it, you still have to concentrate from your heart."
-Orel Hershiser
The truth is that the L.A. Dodgers asked me to throw batting practice to their team. Perhaps the surprise is that I turned them down.
In celebration of April Fool's Day, I am sharing a story that I have yet to tell. It's the story behind why I never threw BP to the Dodgers.
In early February, I emailed the Dodgers to ask if I could throw BP to them. I was particularly interested and persistent in my communications with the Dodgers because of their connection with the Green family. Christina-Taylor's father, John, is a scout for the Dodgers. I wanted Christina-Taylor's memorial baseball patch on a Dodger uniform. And I longed to throw BP to the team that Christina-Taylor had once dreamt of playing for.
The Dodgers called me back and said they were thinking about having me throw; I was told it was a matter of logistics. A week later they called to say it wouldn't work out. I thanked them for their consideration.
A few days before I left for Arizona, I got an email from the Dodgers asking if I was available to throw to them on Sunday, Feb. 20th. My email response,
"I would love to throw to the Dodgers and I am available on Sunday. But I
can't. I promised the Indians they would be the first team I threw to. They are
my home team and I want to keep my word with them."
So, I turned the Dodgers down. Not an easy thing to do but I knew it was the right thing to do.
But I have to admit it would have been so cool to wear Dodger Blue.
1 Comment
If the Dodgers had had any sense of grace or history they would have issued you an invitation to throw BP another day. It speaks volumes about the state of disrepair into which their front office has fallen that that didn't happen, and even more about you that you felt compelled to honor your promise to the Indians – and were honest enough to tell the Dodgers as much.
As for wearing Dodger Blue, you may not realize it but you already did: the original uniform colors of the New York Mets were derived from the orange of the old New York Baseball Giants, the dark pinstripes of the Yankees, and the blue of the old Brooklyn Dodgers. Even if the Mets gave you a black jersey, the blue is still there in the team logo and the border around the letters. So you wore Dodger Blue when you pitched BP at Port St. Lucie!

I've been a Dolphin fan for as long as I can remember. I grew up in Maryland with a family that was and still is big into the Redskins. My grandfather lived in Deltona and liked the Dolphins so I started rooting for them. First NFL game I attended was a Dolphins/Redskins game at RFK Stadium in 1990. The Dolphins lost, but I'll never forget that game because our seats wound up being about 10 rows behind Miami's bench.

Highlights from Performance-Packed Summers!
The halls at CIM are filled once again as the first week of classes begins. So we wanted to look back at our students, faculty and alumni who kept us posted all summer long as they hit the road for festivals, performances and appearances all over the globe. This year, we had them use #CIMSummer2015 when posting updates from their travels. And post they did! From pictures of rep, to sweeping mountains in Italy (in view from a practice-room!), to ensembles about to go on stage, our hashtag kept track of it all.
Alum appointed acting principal clarinet of The Cleveland Orchestra
Homecoming came early this year for Cleveland Institute of Music alum Benjamin Lulich (BM '05, Cohen), who has just been appointed acting principal clarinet of The Cleveland Orchestra.
"I know I have big shoes to fill, so I will be working hard to perform at the highest level with the incredible musicians of the orchestra. I am really looking forward to being in Cleveland this coming season," he says.
Sergei Babayan's Proms 2015 performance with Daniil Trifonov dubbed "not to miss"
Renowned CIM faculty member, Sergei Babayan will perform alongside former student and distinguished CIM alum, Daniil Trifonov at Proms 2015 in London.
"For sheer energy and brilliant displays of pianistic virtuosity this is surely the Prom to go for," said The Telegraph in its Proms preview. The pair will tackle all five Sergey Prokofiev piano concertos in one concert –a massive feat they first accomplished in 2012 under the baton of conductor Valery Gergiev at the Mariinsky.
Stephen Rose and Frank Huang are "spot-on" at Mimir Chamber Music Festival
The Mimir Chamber Music Festival is known for its reliably superb performances, but this year two stood out among the rest, thanks in part to CIM violin department head Stephen Rose and alum Frank Huang.
"This was musicianship of a high order," said The Dallas Morning News. Rose is Principal Second Violin of The Cleveland Orchestra and was appointed to the CIM faculty in 2001. He graduated from CIM with Bachelor of Music degree in 1992. Huang was recently named concertmaster of the New York Philharmonic. He was a student of Donald Weilerstein and earned his Bachelor's Degree in Music from CIM in 2002.
ChamberFest Cleveland Comes to an End, but Faculty Leaves Lasting Impression
Franklin Cohen, head of the clarinet faculty at CIM, played for a standing-room-only crowd in CIM's Kulas Hall as part of ChamberFest Cleveland's summer concert series. The concert was aptly named "FRANK!," as it was a celebration of Cohen and his retirement from The Cleveland Orchestra, where he served as Principal Clarinet for nearly 40 years. The performance had almost as much splash as the title itself. As Cleveland Classical put it, "From start to finish Cohen proved that he is, without a doubt, one of the greatest musicians of our time."
Richard Hipple Named CIM Board Chair
Following a unanimous vote by the Cleveland Institute of Music Board of Trustees at their Annual Meeting July 7, CIM is pleased to welcome Richard J. Hipple as its new Chairman of the Board.
Mr. Hipple is a current member of the CIM Board of Trustees and replaces A. Malachi Mixon who retired from the CIM Board after serving as Chair for 17 years. "We are grateful for Mr. Hipple's willingness to serve in a new and heightened capacity and view it as a strong endorsement of CIM within the greater Cleveland community. We look forward with great anticipation to his tenure," said Joel Smirnoff, CIM President and CEO.

How can a common man participate in "revolutionizing" education?
Having spoken in TED in 2006 about how schools kill creativity, Sir Ken Robinson returned in 2010 to urge everyone to revolutionize education. He said about how we take a "fast-food" approach to deliver educated products out of the system. However, in order to really use the enormous depths of human talent, we will need to take an "organic" approach to education. We need revolution and not evolution.
So, How do we actually achieve revolution? Are there any concrete examples of schools/ colleges which do not follow the "fast-food" approach? Are there ways in which a common man can participate in "revolutionizing" education?
I am sure this is a question which commonly haunts everyone among us. But, what we lack is a coordinated set of actions to make a change. How do we do it?
Nov 18 2011: I would say stop being common...expand yourself, take risks and charge ahead with whatever you have in mind, mobilize people around you, get them to join in on your vision, they will give you strength to push through barriers and they will inspire you to no longer see yourself as common. We are only as common as we believe ourselves to be and I say be extraordinary my friend!
John Locke
Nov 19 2011: Not one person can change the world, but one person can inspire others to change the world with him.
- +2
To change anything, you will need support, ideas, a cause, and a reason. The same goes for education. If you want to change the way we learn than you need to speak out about it, write a book, start a blog, start a TED conversation, etc. If you want to make a change then you must be commited to the change and be willing to do things most people would find challenging.
Sanket Gupta
Nov 21 2011: Thanks for sharing. I love your line "you must be commited to the change and be willing to do things most people would find challenging". Agree so much!Dec 10 2011: Here are some practical ideas:
- +1
* Volunteer at your local school(s) to teach practical skills to children
* Volunteer at childrens' clubs and other venues to do the same (e.g. Boys and Girls clubs, Scouting organizations, etc.)
* Parents: read with your children every day!
* Employers: offer "jobshadow" and "internship" opportunities to young adults where they get to do real work (not just manual labor) and begin to learn a trade before graduating from public schools
* Government workers: offer similar opportunities to young adults so they can learn the practical aspects of their country's political processNov 20 2011: Until one does anything different / extraordinary s/he remains common. So common people can revolutionize by doing something revolutionary through her/his participation and become someone uncommon or extraordinary :)
Nov 21 2011: Agreed. It is we who label ourselves "common". Our efforts alone determine how much "common" or "extraordinary" we are.
But, by common I meant a student studying in a school; or a person working; or a housewife. How can they contribute to a major change; when they do not have any significant resources or backing from anyone?
Nov 22 2011: Understand your point.I agree with what Jake Williams wrote above, it actually Commitment that is needed not resource in most cases.
She was departmental store worker . on way to her work was denied to have a seat on bus she didn't give up so become ROSA PARKS of Civil Rights Movement in US.
Mohan Das was a lawyer in South Africa, but his commitment to fight back unjust after that fateful train incidence made him Mahatma Gandhi.
He was university teacher back in 70s in Bangladesh, but his evening walk observation of plight of poor in near by Village made him to do something different using less than 50 USD from his own pocket. Now he is known as Dr. Younus reference of Micro-Credit and won Noble Prize for Peace alongwith his organization Grameen Bank.
List can go on (sorry couldn't give example from education field but I think in TED you can see Sugata Mitras effort, resource was not big and he was not anyone extraordinary at the begining but defintely now he is)
In Readers Digest once read about a poor village boy of 6/7 of Bangladesh, selected as something called "Everyday Hero" (if I rightly remember). The event was as belowAs per his usual daily play schedule he was running along the railway track near his village (it's very usual , may sound impossible in country like Singapore , yes talking about kid running on railway track). Suddenly he noticed , the Rail Way Track is dislocated. He knew after sometime a train will be passing. Thinking of the risk he ran back to home, brought a Red Saree of his mother , tying it with a stick he stood beside railway track far ahead of the damaged part. After long wait the train came, driver of train saw someone standing with something RED, so stopped. Got down asked why (there was no Railway station or railway worker nearby) he is doing so. The kid told about the damaged track....
Life saved, property saved.....how extra-ordinary that KID was ....even if he doesn't achieve anything special in rest of his l
Nov 23 2011: Thanks for pointing out numerous inspiring examples to follow. These outstanding examples serve to inspire and motivate us by showing us that we "can" do what we really want to do. No resources or backing is really necessary.
But, perhaps I had framed the question wrongly earlier. Let me take the example of Facebook. Before Facebook, there were ways in which people could have maintained contact with friends via email, phone or sms. But, once Facebook arrived it created a "social" revolution, in the sense, that it was just so easy to be in touch with our friends. What Facebook did was to reduce our "effort" to achieve the same goal: creating and maintaining a social network with people.
Hence, my question is about how do we achieve that kind of revolution? A revolution in education which is so easy and mass-implementable. Yes, people who really want a change can still do it as seen in Sugata Mitras case, but how do we create something to sweep the mass public into action; into creating an educational revolution?Nov 23 2011: Beautifully said. When we try to do good through the unusual we can make a big difference in what ever we do and what ever issue we care about . Look at what SIr Ken Robinson is doing for education as an inspiration for changes you can make even at TED events.Dec 10 2011: Mr Solaiman, so good to hear your wise input again! (I've been out of the loop for a while, too many things in my hands these days...)
"Until one does anything different / extraordinary s/he remains common."
What I think is great about this is, those that are extraordinary were never motivated by BECOMING different in the first place -they WERE DIFFERENT! They had unusual curiosity, energy, vision, or faith that moved them to try the unthinkable, to go the extra mile regardless of the risks or the reward.
Their "otherness" was the engine, making a difference was their prize.
Oh, that we learn not to run for the trophy in this life race that we are in, but for the joy of running itself, and the joy we can bring to others...
Then we will realize that all the rest will come with it, no needs, no wants...
Then we will realize that we too were different!
Dec 12 2011: Ms. Eisner, thanks for your compliment. Just back to reply you, as realized like many other friends of mine I am a total mis-fit here in TED conversation.
Agree with you fully what you talked about curiosity....then about energy , vision, faith & drive. I pack all these what you said in one word which I call "PASSION"....
"we learn not to run for the trophy in this life race that we are in , but for the joy of running itself"..... what a beautiful expression of yours it is!!!
Simply loved it....:)
Dec 12 2011: "... as realized like many other friends of mine I am a toatl mis-fit here in TED conversation."
No, no, Mr. Solaiman, you totally belong here...
Now, the other way around is very possible: your participation in TED may qualify you as a misfit where you live and work, that's almost granted but that's what we were talking about from the begining. You ARE DIFFERENT, that's their gain :-)

Its such an interesting topic indeed, hmm in my opinion, its not the matter about the school, college, etc for us to participate in "revolutionizing" in a education like u said.
There are so may ways for us to take part in implementing the revolution could be real, such as, in my country there's a group of people called "pengajar muda" (or "young teacher" in English language). It's an appellation for a group of few people whose make a journey to remote area in east Indonesia, and they had to teach people in there for 3-4 weeks without any "FEE / PAYMENT", they teach the villagers how to count, read, pray, and also manners. They did it just for "FREE" without any "FEE". Any accommodation, tickets, on other related expense they bear itself. What is the reason which makes they have to go to other city where is cold and insecure, no light or hot bath tub..
Because they have HEART, yap, heart, they do it with their heart. They deserved experience, pleasure, happiness, more and more than the money they supposed to get. They deserved inner satisfaction, and the most important thing is, they have made a revolution in education which is inspired everyone, not only for my country locally, but also for the people over the country globally :) so, it's not the matter from what we through to take a part for a revolution, but if we do it with our heart, we could gives more than just a revolution itself.
Nov 20 2011: Hi Andra,
Thank you for sharing the story of "pengajar muda". Hopefully, it might come on TED one day and inspire others!
Yeah, you are right. It is our heart which is most important. Even if we teach one student, its great. One student at a time by everyone can create an enormous impact!
Lets begin a revolution in our life first, it will lead to revolution in the society in general!
Fritzie -
Nov 19 2011: As hands-on learning under the influence of a mentor is one way of introducing students to authentic learning, you as a design engineer could take some students under wing to show them what kinds of questions arise in your field and see if you can find small pieces they can actually do under your supervision.I think this would make a greater contribution to students' educations than top down lecture, whether that is made available online or presented in the classroom.If one examines the careers of eminent creative people, a mentor of this type has often been a part of the person's rearing.You would not perhaps reach as many students that way as by lecturing at them, but if many "common" people did this, it would revolutionize educatiion.
- +1
Nov 19 2011: I agree about the "mentor-disciple" thing that you are talking about. And indeed, most eminent and creative people have had mentors they relied upon in their young age. If everyone acts as a mentor to someone else, a "revolution" can happen. I completely agree with you.
And thanks for the suggestion! I will indeed try to teach or mentor some students in my field.Nov 18 2011: I think looking for teachable moment in everyday life and taking the time to share your knowledge is a mindset that needs to be fostered across the country. Going to the grocery store and seeing who can get the closest to the actual price of all the items, identify the most fruits and vegetables, find things that start with a particular letter, etc. are all teachable moments. Going to the hardware store and getting kids to name the tools and describe what they are used for is a simple teachable moment. Having your kids use tools to take apart the old lawn mower, dishwasher, or similar device before it is discarded (age appropriate of course) are also teachable moments. If we look for these opportunities and take advantage of them, then a culture of education is fostered. There is not the magic pill solution to education. It just takes time, willingness, patience, and knowledge. School systems at all levels will follow suit.
Nov 19 2011: Small moments create big moments. And as you say, look for small moments to teach people something, even if its a single phrase or sentence, that will go a long way! If everyone starts doing that, the system will have to change. Revolution will not begin with the system, it will begin with each one of us. Revolution in the system will be a by-product.Dec 18 2011: These are all very positive and affirming ideas. This issue is one that holds everyone's future within it. I have seen the "fast food" service term used as a metaphor for the current system and I also think that a "wal mart" type approach is one that is being used in these massive schools where the kids who might really climb to the top or self actualize their abilities get discouraged and give up as they are lost in the shuffle.
A revolution is indeed the thing most needed. A fully educated society, any society, is a much more human and capable one. The idea of an educational "Facebook" approach is brilliant and the person or people capable of manifesting such a thing would have many people signing up immediately to explore this option.
I think we are on the edge of something that we can sort of make out in the fog where before it was all unimaginable. The role that teachers play in this whole thing is going to be crucial. Perhaps the true revolution is going to be the human factor and how it is involved in the loop with the information and the technology. Obviously the younger minds are not responding as well to the 19th century mode of instruction but also they cannot all, some can but not all, be responsible enough to grasp the basics they need to further themselves and look at the internet and other tools as distractions or mere forms of entertainment. If you can incorporate language building, reading, science, and higher level math into something as fun as XBOX you would not only have much smarter children, at least here in America, but also billions of dollars in your pocket.
Their is a role which will become a mixture of teacher and facilitator that is being defined now in classrooms all over the world. The revolution would be to accelerate the idea of this and help it have an initial definition or construct that can built upon. This way less money can be spent on burdensome facilities and athletics and more on making our future.Dec 18 2011: It's probably been said, but if a teacher, mentor, or parent can pin point a talent or interest of a child at an early stage the "fast food" approach can be avoided for the most part. However I'm not sure that can always be done.
Something that might be able to reduce the feel of the "fast food" approach, is exposing kids to different ideas, career possibilities and what subjects are important for those careers.
The moment a student sees a subject in school ties in to the career or interest they have, going to that class becomes less of a chore and probably even becomes exciting.
So I guess providing kids with that kind of info (in a way that will hold their attention) at an early stage.Dec 17 2011: Hi. I hope you realize that your question's premise is sexist. You mentioned "man" only. After all the world conferences and world agreements advocating women's participation in all aspects of life, you still forget "woman" in your question. Try to include women in the equation on education (and include them in a very obvious way), and you'll get even more better answers to your question. :)
Dec 17 2011: Hi liza, I never meant it to be sexist. By common man, I mean common person. Perhaps, in hindsight, I should not have used the word "man" :)
Anyways, thanks for pointing out!Dec 14 2011: Start by helping yourself. Then help others through their plights. Or do both at the same time. If their problems are somehow rooted in the educational system, find someone who can address the issue or better yet, be someone who can address it in the future.
The main factor is to speak up. You don't need to organize a rally. Talk to people young and old, pretty soon you'll make friends in high places. If you are creative enough, make a documentary, resources are everywhere.

Dec 17 2011: Thanks for sharing! I am reminded of a quote "Be the Change you want to see in the world."Dec 12 2011: My friend, the day you choose to be extraordinary count on me to walk by your side through the darkest alley way any where in the world and face any impossible odds we may encounter. Start something and others will join your side. Inspire us! I await your first step...Dec 12 2011: Vote for Ron Paul in 2012 and we have a chance to start the education revolution.Dec 2 2011: Yes there are examples! we don't! schools don't need to follow the fast-food approach. once you change, you won't look back. education is an art. We have used what you call 'a coordinated set of actions to make a change'. we created a school development plan to implement change several years ago and each year we continue to change and move our development forward. it can be done as long as all the staff are on board and it is a whole school approach. the leadership team cant just expect everyone to change overnight and anyway that would be just as bad as any other dictated method which renders the school non-creative again ( creative being the innovation of the individual rather than relating to an object 'created' - creativity occurs when individuals have an attitude of creativity and this depends on a whole set of factors, non of which can originate outside the individual - it its the choice of the individual to be/become creative) educationalists may have to define and redefine what creativity is, and many teachers may be shocked to discover that they dont know and dont know what to do about it. this could lead to tension so time and a whole lot of discussion and discovery could be necessary. leadership can create time for this. working with artists may or may not be an answer. for example, one year, for one project we opted to offer children the opportunity to work with a professional artist. we interviewed many artists to lead the project. it took a long time because our criteria had changed - we didnt want someone to encourage children to help them produce an object/objects/final piece, we wanted an artist to encourage them to explore their creativity. instruction isn't education. education....to educate - to lead towards, (but you cant make the horse drink)Nov 30 2011: You are participating in education every time that you learn or teach something, so if you spend part your free time doing one or both of those then you are making a small difference.Nov 29 2011: A revolution begins by identifying where we want to go. For education this means we must decide for ourselves and together what the purpose of education should be. This becomes the guiding star for the development of a new system. To this end please consider answering the question yourself and joining others in that discussion at http://www.ted.com/conversations/7491/in_your_opinion_what_should_t.html

Nov 30 2011: We want to go where every child can start thinking critically, and not just being a dummy of the entire system. Where every student enjoys the process of learning.
Where every person is not the slave of money, materialism and status, but focussed instead on value creation in the society.
It seems to be idealistic, but as Viktor Frankl says in the following video, its only if we put humans above what they actually are, can we, in the long run, bring out what they potentially can be.
Dec 1 2011: Take a look at reducing for answers.
I have thought about everything you have mentioned and I have reduced solution to my plan. Come see if anything makes sense to you.
Faja AnserNov 29 2011: I have always felt one teacher, 20 or more students of same age, was not the best way. I feel if the class were divided into 6 grades, the teacher could teach from the top down. The kids are all teachers. The kids could learn at different levels. The kids may feel more comfortable expressing difficult area to someone who recently had the same hurdle and hear how they made it through. Every time a student helps another learn something, they would be reinforcing the lesson in their minds. The teacher would then be able to concentrate on individual students. I saw a TED lecture where the lecturer told of his experience with computers teaching kids without a teacher. One computer four pupils.
I have my own big plan for changing education. It involves providing a means for virtual learning to the poorest on the planet. See me.
Nov 29 2011: What you are describing in the beginning already exists in the organization of a Montessori classroom. You'll always get 3to6 or 6to9 (etc) year-olds in the same group, the oldest sharing with the youngest what they already master in terms of learning. It's a beautiful and enriching experience for any child to get to be the teacher.
Nov 30 2011: I think as more inputs for data increase, the real problem of learning becomes as with our senses, a matter of limiting input. Narrowing and focus become crucial. Also determining if information is current and correct. I have been aware of the need for a way to rate information for validity for some time now. I feel there should be a way for people to know when inputting information (whether for pleasure or study) if the information is accurate, without doing major research. A little meter in corner of display showing validity against known facts.
My big plan is to actually provide a home with access to internet for any individual on planet. I see this as the first step to the goal of fixing the problems we face. ALL of the problems. Health, mass relocation of populations, utilization of resources, stability of societies, economic growth, redistribution of wealth, and for the inevitable need for growth into the solar system. And hopefully the biggest problem of all, UNITY.Nov 28 2011: It is not under one man's responsibility to change the education system. The lack of activities that foster creativity in school is an internal issue that needs to be solved by those who run the institutions.Nov 27 2011: Get involved with students locally. Create opportunities for students.
There is an architect in my area that has gotten involved with our school club SAVE (Students Against Violating the Earth) and created opportunities for students to really get excited about impacting the world. They've built a passive cooling system out of cheap and accessible materials for third world countries. Previous students involved with the project have helped design and install the same system at a local bank and this year's have the opportunity to help build another system for a local fire station.
Basically, get involved. That is organic education.
Share lectures from iTunes U:

Form local meetups with other "common" men and women to discuss what can be changed in your school district for your children and the children in your area. Attend your local board meetings.
Then share everything you've done and inspire people to do the same.Nov 24 2011: For concrete examples of schools that do not follow the fast food approach visit www.sudval.org or www.edivisonsschools.org or www.bigpicture.org or www.essentialschools.org.
Pay close attention to Essential Schools Ten Principles.
Read Hargreaves and Shirley, "The Fourth Way". Also, read the Hargreaves study, "Change Over Time".
Spread the word.
Nov 29 2011: Great one-stop resource for these examples and more is IDEA-Institute for Democratic Education in America, http://www.democraticeducation.org/Nov 20 2011: It is simple shift in focus away from external parameters and artificial systems of measurement onto the student/learner.Nov 19 2011: Revolutionizing our education system can only come from the street; from the workplace! Camps spread throughout the country in unique locations for enjoying the local enviroment is beneficial for relaxed atmosphere learning . Then you bring in instructers from the workplace on two week intervals to teach kids thier profession. You retate kids from ages 12 through18 continously to learn and participate in hands on learning techniques from the people in a wide range of professions.IE. Local Industry sends an engineer in for two weeks two give kids the true picture of how building a product can be done . Local hospitals send in doctors, Service industries send in managers to teach team building and so on and so on. Creates interest and practical jobs skills not being done in the schools system today at lower levels.
Nov 20 2011: Its a great idea to sort of get the professionals, teachers and others to go the field and teach their professions to the students. But, what about the economic aspect of it? Who is willing to organize such large scale activities at no economic returns? Which professionals are willing to give up their work for a week or two to "help" others?
These are the questions we need to ponder. But, ideally, if such a thing happens, we can truly revolutionize the way students think!Nov 19 2011: First in yesterday's world the majority of knowledge actually came from industry. Today with technology a major subject and research being done on campus in many areas plus the Internet that has changed.....BUT.....changing people, particularly academia is a much more difficult task. AS a pointed criticism why is the master apprentice teaching method (the most effective possible) non existent when technology allows it....ie.....watch the lecture but have the professor available as the mentor (and why not have the best presenter or professor give the lecture....once recorded it exists for all). To further embarrass the academic elitists go to the Internet and do a simple query. How do students learn? Two hours later you will discover (with the exception of going to sites on primates) very little is known. II this an assumption that what exists is best(?) or an entire industry that is very slow to improve and only very recently has even started to use the Internet for Education....despite it's being around for 20 years. Nor does it question it's methods (In industry no improvement = failure). Sadly white papers of any substance are missing and that was with 9 hours prowling the net and college papers. To ultimately embarrass them ask the simplest of all questions.....what is the purpose of school? If you get back anything other than "to learn to think" they are possibly not "sapien". If you subscribe to this then you have a platform to speak from for change. Start the revolution...it's cost and mankind effective.Nov 19 2011: As the first person in my family to attend University, eight years after graduation, and in the middle of my graduate coursework, I often think of this very question. First, in terms of "the American Dream", and second, in terms of financial stability for anybody who focuses on moving their respective community forward.
1) I have determined that understanding math is key for learning. Mainly algebra. I feel it is the baseline thought process for complex decision making, which all people need in this complex society. Therefore, we need to do a better job at teaching math, and not just to kids who "get" math, but to every kid in terms that they understand. Math for Athletes, Math for Musicians, Math for Mechanics... the principles travel across everything, because math is the universal language.
2) referencing my initial statements, my education faltered because my parents couldnt help me study, because they graduated in the 70's and never really had to apply much of what they learned in high school. They did what most people who graduated then did, they went to work. Today, the world has gotten exponentially complex in a short period of time, and doenst look like it will slow down. Therefore anybody who only has a high school education or less is significantly handicapped, along with their children. because you cant just tell a kid to hit the books and expect things to start making sense. For as well intentioned as my parents were, this is how they thought. They didnt know it, but they didnt feel they needed to. And I needed to know it, simply because that is what the school says at this moment in time.
The real revolution in education is parents who can show their children how knowledge is applied in the real world. Teachers can only do so much, especially before they are criticized for stepping outside their "boundaries".
Teachers = Information, Parents = Applied Knowledge.Nov 18 2011: Hi Sanket! I notice that you are a design engineer and that encompasses a lot of talents. Have you ever considered contributing to something like the Kahn Academy to help young people really understand the skills needed to do your kind of work. It might be one way for a common man to make a step toward the revolution you seek. I wish you success!
Nov 18 2011: Hi Debra, Thank you for your comment. Yes, I guess Khan Academy is definitely a great place to revolutionize the way people learn. I frequently visit Khan Academy, but I never thought of contributing from the viewpoint of my field. Thanks for shedding the light! :)
Wish you success too in your endeavors!

"Pure" Water Bottle Filters 99.9% of Bacteria with UV Light
While traveling through Zambia, Timothy Whitehead became perplexed with the issues surrounding purifying water — chlorine and iodine tablets abound, but it takes 30 minutes to finish the process and the water tastes terrible afterward. Enter his new invention, the Pure Water Bottle, which is capable of filtering soiled — completely gross and disgusting looking water — in 2 minutes flat. Whitehead used a combination of a 4 micron-sized water filter and a wind-up ultra violet light system to clean the water of 99.9% of its impurities.
Whitehead's Pure Water Bottle was just awarded a James Dyson Award in the UK and it is now being entered into the international design competition. The bottle is about the same shape as a regular water bottle and has an inner and outer chamber. To operate, fill the outer chamber with disgusting and undrinkable H2O, insert the inner chamber, turn the crank to activate the UV sterilization, and in 120 seconds you've got yourself some tasty purified water that won't kill you or make you sick.
Whitehead's water bottle could be an essential tool for people in developing nations, back country hikers and military forces in remote places. He's engineered his prototype to not only be functional, but also to be ready for mass manufacturing. It has been 100% scientifically proven to filter water of 99.9% of contaminants and is ready for some big company to pick up the blueprints and start pumping them into the market. Whitehead's Pure Water Bottle looks to be perfect for the shelves of outdoor stores as well as the small villages of Africa.

August 9, 2010 at 10:01 pm
I am posting this for people to be better informed.
I applaud the effort to use the crank charger for UV instead of general emergency lighting, and combining it with a manual pump filter makes a certain sale for all, me too.
But what is not said here concerns the UV aspect of this.
First, it is highly unlikely that the very short exposure time is adequate to perform the required function, but cranking it back up a couple times would accomplish this, so thats my first recommendation.
The second recommendation is that all reading this understand that the UV only disrupts the ability for what is in the water TO REPRODUCE ONLY.
I repeat for clarity, IT DOES NOT KILL ANYTHING !
Allow the water to sit for the full lifetime cycle of the types of organisms known in the area it gets used, and you have safe water to drink.
Drink it right away and you WILL still suffer from the amount of LIVE organisms that are in the water, period.
So, two thumbs way way up for the product,
shame on the misinforming advertising spin!
Used properly (Multiple crank\'s, let water sit…) and this is a wonderful device.

It's altogether possible that you could have forgotten your ABCs. Just think about it—when you first learned them, you associated each letter with an object in the world that floated on a placid ocean of naïveté. Now worldly, you can better confer more, ahem, enlightened analogies. Mister McGinnis' ABC screenprint posters offer cheeky, politically incorrect images for each letter, in the same jokey cartoon style familiar to pre-school classrooms everywhere. G is for Gasp!

The Australian Grand Prix Corporation today announced the return of the Celebrity Challenge to the 2014 Formula 1® Australian Grand Prix with Mazda confirming their sponsorship of the race featuring the soon to be released, All-New Mazda3.
Mazda3 has been Australia's best-selling car for the last two years and the third-generation Mazda3 has been newly designed from the ground up. Like the Mazda6 and CX-5 before it, All-New Mazda3 has adopted Mazda's award winning 'KODO – Soul of Motion' design theme and the full-suite of SKYACTIV Technology.
The Mazda3 Celebrity Challenge will showcase the All-New Mazda3 powered by a SKYACTIV-G 2.5 litre petrol engine and SKYACTIV-Drive six speed automatic transmission in a combination of hatchback and sedan offering celebrities maximum power of 138kW and 250Nm of torque for the big race.
With All-New Mazda3 to go on sale early next year, the Mazda3 Celebrity Challenge at the 2014 Formula 1® Australian Grand Prix will form a core part of launch activities for the car.
Australian Grand Prix Corporation CEO Andrew Westacott said he was thrilled to welcome Mazda back in 2014.
"We're delighted to welcome Mazda back on board for the 2014 Mazda3 Celebrity Challenge. The race adds so much excitement and glamour to an already action packed weekend of racing," said Westacott.
Marketing Director at Mazda Australia, Alastair Doak said "With huge crowds watching both trackside and at home, the 2014 Mazda3 Celebrity Challenge provides us with a great opportunity to showcase All-New Mazda3. We look forward to working with a dynamic mix of celebrities and introducing them to a whole new world of Zoom-Zoom."
Mazda ambassador and Melbourne media personality, Lauren Phillips, was unveiled today as the race's first official starter.
"I participated in the Celebrity Challenge at the 2011 Formula 1® Australian Grand Prix and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life," Lauren said.
"Since then I have been lucky enough to become a Mazda3 ambassador and, like most Australians, have fallen in love with the car. I can't wait to get behind the wheel of the All-New Mazda3 and just know that the new celebrity drivers are in for a treat."
The Mazda3 Celebrity Challenge will feature 20 vehicles and will bring together celebrities from wide-ranging backgrounds and disciplines to compete at Melbourne's spectacular Albert Park street circuit.
The next round celebrities and the final Mazda3 race car design will be revealed at a special media unveiling later this month.

HEAD's Vikings pack the podium spots in Beaver Creek
Aksel Lund Svindal added a second place to his win in Lake Louise and his fellow HEAD World Cup Rebel, Kjetil Jansrud joined him on the podium for the second Downhill of the season in Beaver Creek. Svindal, who had won the two previous World Cup Downhills, was going for a hat trick of wins yet was still pleased with his performance. Having won the final training run as well, Svindal is the man on top of the Men's World Cup now after the second Men's World Cup Downhill. Christof Innerhofer of Italy won the race.
After the race Svindal commented: "I was a little late on some points but it's hard to call that a mistake as in the race you push hard and things like that can happen," reflecting on his line through the Talon section where he had taken a super aggressive line. "I had to change my skiing a little half way down as I could tell I wasn't carrying the speed I wanted, so on the lower section I tried to adapt. Today was about taking risks but also putting a good run the whole way down. It's a second place for me here today and I am really happy about it."
For the second time in history, Svindal was joined on the podium by Jansrud, who commented afterwards "I made minor changes to my setup and that seems to have worked – I think there are a few sections where I could have skied better but I am very happy. For me it's a huge change from the training runs, and a good change! I didn't expect t be on the podium in Downhill so soon so this is a great day for me. I was sure Aksel was going to win today but a few mistakes cost him too much time but with the two of us on the podium today I think it only confirms we have done good things this autumn and in the preparation period! Today is a great boost to my confidence for the Super G and Giant Slalom in the next days!"
The race started off in a great form for the HEAD racers as Guillermo Fayed took a commanding lead from start number 2 and then held the lead until HEAD new boy Georg Streitberger grabbed it. Fayed held on to take 12th spot. Johan Clarey made it four HEAD World Cup rebels in the top seven finishers just behind Streitberger in seventh spot.
1. Christof Innerhofer (ITA)
2. Aksel Lund Svindal (NOR) HEAD
3. Kjetil Jansrud (NOR) HEAD
6. Georg Streitberger (AUT) HEAD
7. Johan Clarey (FRA) HEAD
12. Guillermo Fayed (FRA) HEAD
16=. Ben Thomsen (CAN) HEAD
21. Matthias Mayer (AUT) HEAD

Flowers were a motif Warhol drew on his entire career. They're found in early prints and drawing from the 1950s, as well as photos he captured throughout the '70s and '80s. The design for the Daisies Bowl is taken from a series of screenprints he created in 1982. Produced by Rosenthal in partnership with The Andy Warhol Foundation, this high-quality porcelain bowl is a thoughtful gift for that Warhol fanatic in your life—you.
42.25oz capacity.
In 1980 Andy Warhol visited Rosenthal AG in Selb to arrange a portrait of founder Philip Rosenthal. Warhol was inspired by his visit to Rosenthal, especially by the atmosphere in Erkersreuth Castle. Based upon Polaroid shots taken in Selb, a later portrait of Philip Rosenthal was created in Warhol's New York 'Factory' Studio.

Art Torres, J.D.
Vice-Chair of the Governing Board of the CIRM (Statutory: elected pursuant to Health & Saf. Code, section 125290.20(a)(6)
In a career spanning more than three decades, Senator Art Torres (Ret.) has distinguished himself as a public servant determined to tackle complex policy issues and stand up for those without a voice. He has been involved in crucial bipartisan initiatives in the fields of healthcare, education, the environment, and human rights and has been a leader in the public, private, and non-profit sectors.
In March 2009, Senator Torres was unanimously elected statutory Vice Chair of the Independent Citizens Oversight Committee, the governing Board of the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine (CIRM). CIRM, established in 2005 following the passage of Proposition 71, is charged with allocating $3 billion to California universities and research institutions to support and advance stem cell research. He is a colon cancer survivor and serves on the Board as a patient advocate.
On November 18th, 2010 he was sworn in by then Mayor Gavin Newsom, to a four year term on San Francisco's Public Utilities Commission.
Between 1996 and 2009, Senator Torres served as the Chairman of the California Democratic Party. Under his leadership, the State Party experienced unprecedented growth and achieved substantial electoral successes at the local, state, and national level.
Senator Torres previously served twenty years in the California Legislature, eight as a member of the State Assembly and twelve as a State Senator. Well respected for his policy acumen, Torres chaired the Senate Insurance Committee, the Assembly Health Committee, the Senate Joint Committee on Science and Technology, the Joint Committee on Refugees and founded the Senate Toxics Committee.
Senator Torres co-authored the unprecedented and extremely successful California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 known as Proposition 65. The proposition was intended by its authors to protect California citizens and the State's drinking water sources from chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and to inform citizens about exposures to such chemicals.
He also fought against water contamination, pesticide poisoning, and exposure to toxic chemicals and asbestos. His passion to deter pesticide poisoning came from working closely with Cesar Chavez in the early 1970's as the National Legislative Director of the United Farm Workers Union.
As Chairman of the Senate Toxics Committee, he introduced legislation that today is the sole toxic reporting repository that helps scientists determine environmental and health impacts. It has proven quite helpful, as Dr. Eric Roberts said the database Senator Torres helped create is "a data source that really no one else has on the planet."
He also authored SB 843, Water Treatment Device Fraud. This important legislation established the California consumer protection law cracking down on unscrupulous vendors selling water treatment devices who prey on the fears of homeowners about water quality.
Additionally, he authored, SB 1845, Ocean and Bay Toxic Hot Spots, which created the first ocean and bay toxic hot spot program aimed at cleaning up the most contaminated portions of the state's ocean as well as enclosed bodies of water such as the San Francisco Bay.
A longtime leader on health issues, He secured direct funding for university research programs as well as structural support for industry-sponsored work, and funded early HIV/AIDS research in conjunction with Dr. Marcus Conant, before most public officials recognized the severity of the epidemic. He also advocated for insurance reimbursement for breast cancer treatments.
His legislative accomplishments also include the most successful anti high school dropout law in California's history, SB 65.
Through his legislation he helped create the only national Japanese American Museum located in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles and co-authored legislation to create the Museum on Tolerance in Los Angeles.
He led international delegations to release Vietnamese prisoners from "education camps" in Hanoi, Vietnam and to assist Soviet Jewish refuseniks efforts in the former Soviet Union.
In 1989, he assisted in drafting Pope John Paul II's environmental message, and along with Nobel Laureates and international environmental leaders presented their document to the Holy Father in the Vatican before it was delivered in St. Peter's Square on New Year's Day, 1990.
He also served as a German Marshall Fund Fellow and delivered a paper on Western European immigration issues. He was also appointed by the United States Senate, by the late US Senator Edward M. Kennedy, to the Commission on International Migration and Cooperative Economic Development, which presented its recommendations on immigration reform to then President George Bush in 1990.
Torres also served as President of the Kaitz Foundation, dedicated to bringing more people of color into management within the cable television industry through the Kaitz Fellowship program. The foundation also provided grants to minority oriented motion picture and cable television associations. The Kaitz Board was comprised by a majority of the top CEOs in the cable television industry.
Senator Torres is currently on the Board of "One Legacy," an organ transplant foundation in Los Angeles, and the Latino Community Foundation, serving the Bay Area and headquartered in San Francisco. He has previously served on the Board of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, the San Francisco Ballet, "Heal the Bay" in Santa Monica, and the Advisory Board of The Princeton Review.
Senator Torres holds a Bachelor's Degree from UC Santa Cruz and a Juris Doctorate degree from UC Davis School of Law. He also served as a John F. Kennedy teaching fellow at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government.
He is the proud father of Joaquin Torres, a graduate of Stanford University and the New York University Tisch Graduate School of Acting, now working in the San Francisco Mayor's Office as Deputy Director for Economic Development; and recently elected President of the San Francisco Housing Authority Commission and, Danielle Torres, a graduate of the Joint School of Music & Business Music Industry major program at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles (USC) and currently working for City Scape as a Property Manager for residential buildings in San Francisco.

GP: This article contains lengthy excerpts from controversial attorney Jack Thompson's cross-examination of Alabama Circuit Court Judge James Moore. That being the case, I'm going to dispense with an intro and assume you've got the back story already. If not, you'll want to check out part 1 and part 2 before you tackle this section...
(We pick up as Florida Bar prosecutor Sheila Tuma has completed her direct questioning of Judge James Moore. Thompson begins his cross-examination. In the excerpted transcripts, MOORE is Judge James Moore. JT is Thompson, TUMA is prosecutor Sheila Tuma and DT is Judge Dava Tunis, who is presiding over the case...)
JT: Judge Moore, did you bring a libel action against me?
MOORE: No.
JT: Why not?
MOORE: Well -
TUMA: Objection to relevancy.
DT: Overruled.
MOORE: Why not?
JT: Yes.
MOORE: Mr. Thompson, I want to have the least amount of contact with you I can have. I don't know how to put it any other way than that. I don't want to see you...
(Thompson turns to the issue of whether he violated Judge Moore's order by sending out press releases about the Alabama "GTA killer" case...)
JT: You say that you entered an order that prevented me from communicating about this particular case. Did you say that?
MOORE: Yes....
JT: Well, we had a hearing in June of 2005 at which we discussed what we'd be able to do going up to the criminal trial and then after. Right?
MOORE: That's correct...
JT: Do you recall saying, "After the criminal case is over, have at it"?
MOORE: I said that... I meant to get in and litigate that case and represent your clients within the rules of the Bar.
JT: Judge, we were talking about communications with the media and you said after the criminal trial, I could have it or we could have at it. Isn't that right?
MOORE: If you're saying that I said you could violate the rules and contact the media, that is not what I said...
JT: Okay, what order did you enter that said I couldn't talk to the media after the criminal case?...
MOORE: I didn't enter an order... It wasn't necessary. If you follow the Bar rules, you don't have to have an order...
(this discussion continues at length, with numerous objections from the Bar prosecutor)
JT: What did I do then, Judge, that violated that rule? You come to Miami. You put your name on a complaint [against me] -
TUMA: Objection, Your Honor... asked and answered.
DT: Overruled.
JT: You file a Bar complaint with Alabama and with the Florida Bar and you said I violated an Alabama Bar rule as to my extra-judicial comments. What did I do?
MOORE: (After examining document) On July 25th, 2005 and August 3rd, 2005, public written statement referred to in a "60 Minutes" appearance in the story on the triple homicide saying, "It has a huge significance for our case in Alabama." Also, when you took my deposition, you discussed a situation where you had been on Court TV during that time... You shouldn't have done it.
(Thompson turns to Judge Moore's relationship with Alabama attorney Clatus Junkin)
JT: Let's talk about Clatus Junkin... Have you ever heard from anybody that Clatus Junkin suggested that he had a special relationship with you...?
MOORE: Other than a conversation I had with Chris McCool, the District Attorney? No.
JT: And what did Mr. McCool tell you? Why don't you tell the Court who Mr. McCool is?
MOORE: Mr. McCool is the District Attorney for our circuit and he called me... He said he had had a conversation with you and that there had been some statement to you to him about that Mr. Junkin could influence me in cases before me - and I guess specifically for this case...
JT: Okay. Did you ever talk to (Thompson's former co-counsel) Ray Reiser, who was on this conversation with me, as to whether or not he heard Clatus Junkin say this?
MOORE: Twice.
JT: Really... And what did Mr. Reiser say?
MOORE: Mr. Reiser said that Mr. Junkin did not make those statements. He told me that on two occasions...
(there then ensued a lengthy round of objections and argument, followed by:)
JT: I want to ask [Judge Moore] about why he didn't talk to me about Clatus Junkin...
MOORE: I did not because with the allegations being made, what I did was contact the Bar Association and the Judicial Inquiry Commission and referred the matter to them.
JT: You also filed a Bar complaint against me about this. Right? ...
MOORE: That's all part of it, yes...
(eventually, Thompson moves from the Clatus Junkin line of questioning, but gets into a bit of a dust-up with Judge Tunis over an exhibit...)
JT: Let the record reflect the Judge is angry now, as she often is, and I'm simply trying to get to a particular letter, the number of which I didn't have in the Bar's exhibit list...
(after some discussion around Thompson's pro hac vice (visiting) admission to the Alabama Bar and Judge Moore revocation thereof, we get to...)
JT: ...You entered an order, though, saying that I couldn't communicate with you any further.
MOORE: Directly to me or through my fax machine...
JT: Okay, and what was the annoyance that you had with that?
MOORE: Just fax after fax after fax after fax after fax after fax.
JT: Do you ever get communications by fax from other lawyers?
MOORE: Occasionally...
JT: What's the cut-off on how many faxes?
MOORE: Oh, I don't know. You reached it, whatever it is.
JT: Anybody else ever reach it?
MOORE: No... Not close... You ruined my fax machine.
JT: I ruined your fax machine?
MOORE: It quit.
JT: Did it.
MOORE: Yes.
JT: What kind was it?
MOORE: I don't know. A cheap one.
TUMA: Objection.
MOORE: I'm sorry, Judge.
JT: Did you get a new one?
MOORE: Yes.
TUMA: Objection, Your Honor.
JT: He said it ruined his fax machine. Did you get a new one?
TUMA: Objection, Your Honor.
MOORE: I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
DT: Next question.
JT: Why can't I ask that?
DT: Because it's irrelevant to the complaint whether or not the Judge in Alabama bought a new fax machine.
JT: Just so the record is clear, it's highly relevant because this Judge is annoyed with someone who sent him too many faxes and is claiming that I ruined his fax machine.
DT: Do you have another question...?
JT: I've got lots of questions.
(what followed was discussion of Thompson's pro hac vice status and some other aspects of the case... Following a November, 2005 motion by video game industry lawyers to revoke Thompson's pro hac vice, Thompson tried to withdraw on Nov. 7th. But Judge Moore refused to let him, and revoked his pro hac vice on Nov. 18th)
JT: So you wanted to make sure it was a revocation and not a withdrawal.
MOORE: Yes. Based on the evidence before the Court, the Court had determined that you could not comport yourself to the rules and I revoked your pro hac vice.
(After a time, the discussion wanders back to... the fax machine)
MOORE: ...The problem is you were sending just bundles of [documents]... these long speeches and letters to other people that I had no idea what the letters were about... about Katrina money and these lawyers down here in Miami and all this...
JT: And I broke your fax.
MOORE: Yes.
TUMA: Objection.
MOORE: My secretary said be sure and tell you that.
JT: I'll buy you one.
MOORE: I don't want you to buy me one. I bought one...
DT: Sustained. Next question...
JT: Why didn't you hold me in contempt?
MOORE: ...Because I knew if I communicated with you based on my past experience with you, it would just get worse...
JT: This Judge thinks that he can revoke the Petition Clause of the Constitution and tell a citizen he can't communicate with a Judge... Is it constitutional to enter an order to prevent a citizen from communicating with a judge?
MOORE: ...Under some circumstances, of course... I have never done this with any other litigant or person even from prison that I get letter after letter after letter about because they weren't as disruptive and as numerous as the ones you sent... I think a Judge can take proper steps under the circumstance to limit contact...
(next came some additional discussion of Clatus Junkin as well as Thompson's probing as to why Judge Moore filed the Bar complaint and what Moore's expectations were about the complaint...)
JT: You're annoyed with me, aren't you?
MOORE: I'm not really annoyed. I mean, I don't know if that's the word.
JT: What's the word?
MOORE: The word is, you can't comport yourself - I base what everybody else does on what the rules say this is what lawyers are supposed to do: civility, professionalism. That's what I go on. In my opinion based on the evidence, you violated those rules. It's just as simple as that.
JT: I'm not cordial. Is that it?
MOORE: When you tell a female lawyer that her mother would be ashamed of what she was doing and when you call them liars in Court and when you call me corrupt and put that out there to everybody in the world without any factual basis to it at all?
JT: Let me correct you, Judge. I said to [Take Two attorney] Jim Smith that his mother should be embarrassed by his representing these people who are selling pornography to children... do you think their parents would be proud of what they do?
TUMA: Objection to the relevancy.
DT: Sustained.
JT: Now, hold on. Hold on.
DT: Don't tell me to hold on. I'm making a legal ruling. Go to the next question.
(Thompson and Judge Tunis spar over the objection, leading to...)
JT: Judge... What am I missing here, guys?
DT: Don't do that. That is so inappropriate.
JT: What is inappropriate?
DT: For you to turn to the gallery and speak to two lawyers that are 50 feet away and ask them and turn your back to me... I don't treat you that way. I don't turn around in my chair and talk to other people. I'm speaking to you, sir...
(back onto questioning Judge Moore...)
JT: Do you think that what this company does - Take Two - is something the people who work there should be proud of?
TUMA: Objection to the relevancy.
DT: Sustained. It's irrelevant. That is not the issue in this case.
JT: Have you made a decision, Judge, on whether or not these video games had anything to do with the death of these three cops?
TUMA: Objection to the relevancy.
DT: Sustained. You don't need to answer that question, sir...
(ensuing next was a discussion of Devin Moore's criminal trial and how a Thompson appearance on the Nancy Grace program might have impacted the trial... Due to time constraints, Judge Moore's cross-examination was continued until the following day, Nov. 27th, 2007. We pick up at the following point:)
JT: There is one reference to my appearance on "60 Minutes." I'll read it to you: "...a mole within Rockstar called me... and told me about this game (Bully) which he said would be the equivalent of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City in a school setting in which kids can rehearse bludgeoning their fellow students and teachers." So you object to my reference to that? ...That could have adversely affected the jury in the [Devin Moore criminal trial]?
MOORE: The Court had to consider everything in context.
JT: I'm asking you to consider it in context.
MOORE: Then the answer is yes...
JT: Okay, Judge. How about this context; that we're living in a country where kids are buying extremely violent video games and they pose a public safety hazard and that I feel I've got an obligation as a citizen to warn people about that? ...What is there in this news release that refers to the [Devin Moore murder] case that you were understanably protective about?
MOORE: You did not specifically refer to it, but the lawyer that is involved in the case in Fayette, Alabama... where there's also a capital murder case is sending this out, video games - it's all to be considered by the public as one thing. They see your face and there's the association.
(next there is a discussion of a video game alert sent out by Thompson in July, 2005...)
JT: I sent that to the ESRB, Judge... this wasn't to the media, was it? ...the embedding of sex in this game isn't relevant to what was going on in Fayette, Alabama regarding the death of three police officers... this somehow could have compromised the case - the trial - in Fayette?...
MOORE: Could have. Why take the chance? That was -
JT: Well, you know, Judge, why take the chance with kids buying - since you asked the question - video games with embedded sexual content?
TUMA: Objection to relevancy.
DT: Sustained.
JT: He's the one who raised it.
DT: He raised it under the guise of why take the chance of polluting a town of 5,000 people that had to produce a fair and impartial jury in a capital case... Let's stay on point.
JT: I'm on point, Judge. How about polluting millions of kids who buy this game?
TUMA: Objection, Your Honor.
DT: But that's not the issue before this Court...
JT: Can you comprehend, Judge... a concern I might have beyond supposedly making money in Fayette, Alabama regarding the deaths of three police officers, that I might have a concern about this that has extended back to Paducah, Kentucky when three girls were killed there in 1997...
TUMA: Objection...
JT: Can you comprehend that I have a right to write to the head of the ESRB... that I might have a concern about this as a father of a 15-year-old who lives in this culture, swims in it, with other kids? Can you comprehend I have something beyond the concerns of your case?
TUMA: Objection, Your Honor...
DT: Sustained.
(after some discussing of jury sequestration and sentencing in the Devin Moore case, Thompson, making a joke about the volume of documents in the case, says...)
JT: I went to law school with Al Gore and I'm sure he's upset I killed a couple of forests in this case.
(Thompson also complained about a parody website created by Take Two, part of which lampooned him... and got into a discussion about a female attorney who represented Take Two in the Alabama case)
MOORE: I remeber testifying about the issue of civility between lawyers and that you had made statements... I can't remember her name...
JT: Rebecca Ward.
MOORE: Miss Ward... that she should be ashamed as a woman for doing what she was doing... and I believe that... violates the rules of civility that lawyers should have in my court.
JT: Okay,and why do you feel that way?
MOORE: Because that's what the law and the rule is... That you're to be civil to one another.
(Thompson then talked about speaking about video games to the National Organization for Women and quoted from Colin Powell on morality. The cross-examination wrapped up with yet another discussion of Clatus Junkin...)
