It's an annual ritual for newspapers to chronicle the news stories of the past year that had the biggest ripple effect upon the rest of the world.
But there were some major events in 2007 that didn't happen, creating an effect that was arguably even more profound.
Here are 2007's top 10 showbiz stories in print media and on the Web resulting in the conventional wisdom that it was only a matter of days — or hours — before these events would occur.
But we're still waiting.
1. The glut of summer sequels spells disaster: This past summer had more than a dozen high-profile sequels and three-quels, with "Spider-Man 3," "Shrek the Third" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" setting the theme for the summer by bowing within a four-week period. It was predicted that the sequels would cannibalize one another, but the logjam of familiar fare proved a benefit to the box office, which saw four films pass $300 million for first time ever. The latest "Harry Potter," "The Bourne Ultimatum," "Rush Hour 3" and "Live Free or Die Hard" also were surprisingly strong performers.
2. The WGA would keep working through the end of the year. Most in Hollywood predicted that members of the Writers Guild would work past the Oct. 31 expiration of their contract and would wait until spring to go on strike, probably in conjunction with the Screen Actors Guild (whose pact expires June 30).
Film studios and TV production companies made contingency plans for a spring strike as the WGA and Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers began negotiations in July. But those talks proved spectacularly unproductive. After the AMPTP held fast to its demand for a total revamp of the residuals system, the WGA announced Oct. 19 that more than 90% of guild members had given the guild their proxy to call for a strike. The AMPTP changed its resids stance, the guild took its DVD demands off the table, but it was too little too late. When talks collapsed late in the evening on Nov. 4, the WGA went on strike at midnight.
Also surprising pundits: The Directors Guild did not start negotiating its new pact with the AMPTP (its deal is also up June 30) by the end of the year, breaking a tradition of early talks that the helmers have adhered to for the past 11 contract sessions.
3. Par-DreamWorks stability: The film biz had constant rumors about the Melrose Avenue lot — Brad Grey and/or Brad Weston would leave, Stacey Snider was thisclose to taking over, Chris Albrecht was about to arrive, etc. In 2007, Paramount and DreamWorks were to industry media what Britney Spears was to celebrity tabloids: the gift that kept on giving, providing daily rumors and lip-smacking gossip, from the exit of Par Pictures prez Gail Berman and co-prexy of production Alli Shearmur through the wiretap woes of Pam Abdy. The exec comings and goings were a source of endless gossip, as were the feuds between high-level execs. There was firm speculation on the fate of the honchos and of DreamWorks itself, but as the year ends, they're still together, at least in the Hollywood sense.
4 Mergers and selloffs: Showbiz and Wall Street prepared for a flurry of big-business deals that never happened. NBC Universal parent General Electric did not get out of the entertainment business. Nobody ever bought Yahoo, despite many rumored suitors. Time Warner did not spin off AOL, its cable biz or any of its parts. AT&T did not buy EchoStar. Endeavor and UTA did not merge (that was only one of the many rumors of major shifts within the agency biz). Warner Music Group and EMI failed in their attempts to purchase each other; Terra Firma (which did buy EMI) was said to be ready to sell its recorded music division to WMG. So far, that hasn't happened either.
5. Boffo "Grand Theft Auto IV": The vidgame was supposed to bow in October, expected to break sales records and bolster the bottom line of consoles. Sony, for example, was hoping the game from Take Two would boost sales of the PlayStation 3. The "GTA" launch was delayed until next spring, causing many to quickly revise their 2007 projections. But don't worry about the vidgame biz. Its revenue through October was $10.5 billion, a 49% jump over the previous year — making the 5% B.O. jump seem paltry.
6. The end of the high-def DVD war: The $24 billion-per-year homevid biz declared that either Blu-ray or HD DVD would emerge as the new format in 2007, but instead, the divide got more pronounced. In January, Warner Bros. announced Total HD, a hybrid disc compatible with both formats. No other studios signed on, and it never launched. Paramount and DreamWorks joined Universal by putting all its titles on HD DVD alone, make competition for the formats even tougher, since Fox, Disney and Sony are solely Blu-ray. WB still supports both, but a resolution could come in 2008 — especially if WB goes with Blu-ray. But if it goes with HD DVD, both sides will be even.
7. Home networking: This one seems like a perennial contender. A revolution was supposed to happen, with a flood of products to help people watch Internet content on their TV sets. But the Apple TV was the one Apple product that hasn't been a huge success, and other products like Vudu are still a niche biz. People in 2007 watched a lot more content on their computers but haven't made the connection to their TV set. Despite all the predictions, they're still watching Internet-delivered content on their computers, whether downloading movies, streaming TV episodes or watching YouTube vids. And they're still using satellite or cable systems for their TV sets.
8. Private equity coin will flow freely into the TV biz. Outside funding created a glut of films in 2007 and provided much-needed cash infusion. Of course, biz prognosticators declared that this money would soon begin flowing to the TV side to finance studio production slates. Some even forecast that private coin would create a utopian business model allowing top-tier hyphenates to follow their artistic heart's desire, unencumbered by the whims of pesky studio and network execs.
9. The TV ad business will collapse. The Internet's devouring of more ad dollars was predicted to deliver a fatal blow to TV. In fact, Internet ad sales are robust, but so is TV. This year's $16 billion-plus upfront sales market for broadcasters and cablers was stronger than most predicted (though nets are likely heading into some trouble now that the 2007-08 TV season has been cut off at the knees by the strike), and the scatter market has been red hot.
10. The newspaper biz will collapse. Yes, many people get their news from the Internet. But newspapers are still here. Key piece of evidence: You are reading this story in a newspaper. (Unless you're reading it at Variety.com, in which case this entire argument collapses.)

About a year ago, in Flash, HTML5, and Mobile Apps, USV venture capitalist Fred Wilson argued why web apps were the future of online opportunity and yet again chastised Apple and its "proprietary app centric universe":
I know where I personally come out in this fight. I much prefer a "web-centric handheld world" to a "proprietary app centric universe". And that's why I carry a Google phone instead of an iPhone. For me, it's a political statement as much as anything else.
I had previously explained why Wilson missed the boat on Flash in Does "A VC" have a blind spot for Apple? and most recently touched upon the business reasons why he is so bothered about Apple's ecosystem in The Unbearable Inevitability of Being Android, 1995.
The reason why I'm referencing Wilson here is because he's a prominent member of the anti-app brigade whose crusades are often camouflaged anti-Apple campaigns. The hit-man for the brigade is ex-Microsoft chief evangelist and current Google engineering VP, Vic Gundotra, who told us in 2009:
"We believe the web has won and over the next several years, the browser, for economic reasons almost, will become the platform that matters and certainly that's where Google is investing."
Likewise, Wilson believes mobile is an extension of the non-mobile web and the same rules of monetization should apply there:
I've been saying for a while now that I think mobile economics will trend toward web economics as the mobile web goes mainstream. In other words, the business models that work best on the web will ultimately work best in mobile. The corollary to that is that the business models that don't work well on the web will not work well in mobile in the long run.
Given the nature of his investment portfolio this appears to make sense, at least to Wilson. Throughout all this, the one entity Wilson always cites and one that has become true north for him has been in general Google and in particular Android, the land of the "open", living in a browser, same everywhere, without constraints…indeed a monopoly of business opportunity for one and all.
Now comes Google, according to Wall Street Journal in Google Searches for Mobile-App Experts, that is about to zig big time from true north:
Google Inc. plans to hire dozens of software developers to create applications for smartphones and other mobile devices, people familiar with the matter said, a new strategy aimed partly at helping Google counter Apple Inc. in one of high tech's hottest sectors.
Google also has reason to try to spur quality, not just quantity, since getting hit apps first can drive demand for operating systems and devices. Some of the apps developed by Google's new effort may be available only for Android, the people familiar with the matter said. The adoption of Android also helps ensure that Google's search engine, the principal revenue source for the company, and other Google services are prominent on mobile devices.
The Google effort coincides with a rush by thousands of Internet professionals and college graduates to quit safe, salaried jobs to try their hand at mobile apps.
In a nutshell, Google, one of the most opportunistic web companies on the planet and Wilson's true north, has seen the light, recognized the centrality of mobile apps and decided to join the revolution. If it's taken Google 300,000+ apps and 10 billion downloads to see the light, I don't know how long it might take Wilson to change his anti-app tune and re-calibrate his portfolio.

Earlier today we posted a slideshow from Saturday's Santarchy drunken holiday madness—and so far all the clues in SPD's new blotter indicates that the reported perpetrator may very well be in one of those pictures (DISCLAIMER: Not necessarily the people pictured to the right, mind you):
After being denied a free ride on the Ride the Ducks tour Saturday, a drunken man dressed as Santa ripped down Christmas lights and tried to flee before he was detained by mall security and police.
Duckboat conductors smelled booze on the man and asked if he had a ticket. The man did not, but said he "had ID" and asked if he could ride on the "next trip."
Ride the Ducks employees ordered Santa off their skiff, but the red-suited man refused.
Suddenly, the man ran off the duckmobile and began scaling its side, ripping down a string of Christmas lights in the process. Santa then ran off, but was detained by Westlake Mall security as Ride the Ducks employees flagged down officers walking a foot patrol nearby.
This just seems like a surefire way to get coal in your stocking.

Dowload here : Episode 11 - Jumping and Crawling Millirobots
This episode concentrates on how to scale down robots to the size of our creepy crawly friends, insects. Sarah Bergbreiter tells us about the micromachining techniques required to build jumping robots at this small scale and the applications in sensor networks. Aaron Hoover then talks about his 6-legged crawling robot that is slowly approaching the cockroach in size and locomotion capability.
Sarah Bergbreiter
Sarah Bergbreiter is Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland where she directs the Micro Robotics Lab.
With her vision of mobile sensor networks composed of large numbers of autonomous robots, Bergbreiter first started by designing the CotsBots, built entirely from commercial off-the-shelf components. She then went to micro-sized robots which could be used in a discrete and non-invasive manner in their deploying environment. As a first step she contributed to Seth Hollar and Anita Flynn's walking microrobot and then went on to her own tiny jumping robots which are the promise for higher mobility. To enable jumping, she demonstrated the quick release of a mechanical leg based on a silicon micro rubber band (See video here).
Finally, to avoid spending hours in a clean room, Bergbreiter is looking at how she can to develop fabrication techniques for the fast prototyping of novel robots. In particular, she'll be looking to address challenges in scaling down robot size such as energy storage, actuation, power, sensing and control.
Aaron Hoover
Aaron Hoover is a research assistant in Prof. Ron Fearing's lab at the University of California at Berkeley. His expertise lies in the use of novel manufacturing techniques based on smart composites, flexure joints and folding structures. Hoover's efforts to mimic complex biological systems such as beetles that can run over a myriad of surfaces has culminated in the 2.4g RoACH hexapod robot. The RoACH is capable of crawling autonomously at 1 body length per second and can last for almost 10 minutes on a single charge! Check out a video of the RoACH in action here.
In this third quarter of the science fiction Story "Selkies" by Author Jack Graham, we follow Mangan in his endeavor to make his robot-seals shark proof, to the request of researcher Sylvia Ochoa from the UN Marine Fisheries.

Use buttons to allow users to perform an action from a dialog box. Menus typically include actions that are associated with a screen.
Users can perform the following actions with a button:
User goal
Action using the navigation keys
Action using a touch screen
Action using a physical keyboard
Highlight a button.
Move a finger on the trackpad.
Touch the button lightly.
Perform an action.
Click the trackpad.
Tap the item.
Press the Enter key.
Best practice: Implementing buttons
- Avoid using buttons on an application screen. To provide actions that are associated with a screen, use the application menu instead. The menu is available to users immediately, regardless of the position of the cursor on the screen. Buttons are static and require users to highlight a button to perform the associated action. If you use buttons, include menu items for the actions in the application menu as well. On BlackBerry devices with a touch screen, you can use buttons for critical actions.
- Use check boxes for options such as turning on or turning off a feature.
- For the default button, use the button that users are most likely to click. Avoid using a button that is associated with a destructive action as the default button.
Guidelines for labels
- Use clear, concise labels.
- Use one-word labels where possible.
- Use verbs for labels that describe the associated action (for example, "Cancel," "Delete," "Discard," or "Save"). If necessary, include more descriptive text elsewhere on the screen (for example, in an application message).
- Avoid using the labels "Yes" and "No."
- Avoid using punctuation in labels.

Blue Stone Folk Series Presents
Clarke Buehling – Workshops and Concert
Blue Stone Folk School is hosting a great old-time banjo workshop and concert this Saturday, April 3, featuring the seasoned stylings of world-renowned old-time banjo artist Clarke Buehling, of Fayetteville, Ark.
The workshop will be from 12 to 4 p.m at Bethel Lutheran Church, 20650 Cumberland Road in Noblesville. Mr. Buehling will teach two classes on the banjo styles of yesteryear:
Early Clawhammer Banjo (12:30-2 p.m.)
Classic Fingerstyle Banjo (2:30-4 p.m.)
Classes are $35 individually or $60 for the pair. Registration begins at Noon on Saturday. Please pay in cash.
If you happen to be more of an old-time banjo 'preciator than a picker, please join us from 7 to 9 p.m. at Noble Coffee & Tea Company, 933 Logan St., for an entertaining old-time banjo concert in charming downtown Noblesville. The show will open with a brief opening set from Blue Stone-affiliated banjo frailer Howard Clark, of Brookston. Mr. Buehling will be up next with some fine old-time banjo tunes and songs about possums and raccoons. All this and the company of some fine folks over coffee, tea, wine or beer for the paltry sum of $10 — a heck of a deal, my friends.
We at Blue Stone Folk School would be significantly grateful if you, dear reader, would be kind enough to forward this email on to any of your banjo-loving friends who may find this event most interesting.
Best Regards,
Jason Hathaway

Adding Integers by Walking it Out
Lesson 3 of 9
Objective: SWBAT add and subtract integers on a number line.
Big Idea: Develop students' number sense by physically modeling the process of adding and subtracting integers on a number line..
Resources (1)
Bell Ringer
This will be an individual student assignment. Have the students identify the correct answer for each problem and then write a story problem that could be modeled by each response. For example, for question number one a student could write: I owe my best friend $10.00, however I only have $4.00 to give to her. Once I pay her what I owe her, I will still owe her $6.00. I tell my students that positive numbers represent the money that you have, and negative numbers represent the money that you owe. Having your students create real world situations from each equation will lend itself to MP1. Students will need to critically think about what makes sense. Students will also practice MP 4, modeling mathematics, and MP 6, attend to precision.
Resources (2)
Resources (2)
Main Activity
Performance Assessment
Resources (1)
Stop the lesson about 5 minutes before the period is to end. Reflect with your students about the process. Why does this work? How could you use this with directional words like east, and west? What do you think will happen with subtraction? This does not have to be formal. You can log their responses in your head and use their responses for the next day as an opener.
For the homework assignment, have students complete the above problems, along with their blank number lines. What students do not complete in the class period can be assigned for their homework. When I introduce a new lesson, I like to use their homework as their bell ringer. The next day, your bell ringer can be to go over each equation and the process they showed on their number line sheets. If you have a document camera or elmo you can have the students share their work that way, or choose a few students to "walk out" their answers using the large number line. You may want to go over each equation, or just a few to gauge understanding.

Marcus Shane Howell
Marcus Shane Howell, 26, of Haskell went to be with the Lord on Saturday, Nov. 2, 2013.
Shane was born Nov. 6, 1986, in Little Rock. He lived in Pine Bluff until age 9 when his family moved to Haskell. He graduated from Harmony Grove High School in 2005.
Shane was a seven-year band member and loved to march and play the trumpet. He had many friends from Pine Bluff and Haskell and always surrounded himself with his friends. Shane never met a stranger, would help anyone who needed it and never had a bad word to say about anyone. He always had a smile on his face and a helping hand for others, and made others laugh. He recently graduated from Diesel Driving Academy in Little Rock, achieving a goal he had wanted for many years. He excelled in this endeavor.
Jokingly, he said he could haul anything from "milk to dynamite." Shane was scheduled to leave Nov. 10 to start his trucking career in Dallas.
Shane dearly loved his family; his parents, Kay and Gary Howell of Haskell; is grandparents, Jane and Bill Craft of Cabot; an aunt, Polly Benfell (Len) of Benton; an uncle: Larry Craft (Debbie) of Benton; special cousins, Blaire and Scarlett Benfell, Doug Craft, Amy and Lori; other aunts, Debbie Workman (Freddie) of Glendale and Carolyn Haller of Benton; his cousins, Shawn Workman (Julie) of Glendale and many, many other friends and loved ones.
Funeral service for Shane will be held at 1 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7, at Roller England Funeral Home Chapel (501) 842-3939. Burial will be in Tomberlin Cemetery in Coy.
Visitation will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 6, at his parents' home, located at 6701 U.S. 67, #10, in Benton.
Donations may be made on Shane's behalf to the New Hope Living Center, 1522 Scott St., Little Rock, AR. 72202.

Bulls keep their New Year's resolution
By Mike McGraw
After letting Charlotte snap an 18-game losing streak at the United Center on Dec. 31, the Bulls sat down and collectively made some New Year's resolutions.
At least, that's how the resurgent Carlos Boozer tells the story.
"We're trying to step it up a little bit and get some more wins," Boozer said following Monday's 118-92 victory over Cleveland at the United Center. "We had a tough last couple of weeks of 2012. New Year, we got a couple new resolutions and the biggest one is get more wins."
It's not clear if Boozer is sharing a metaphor or the team actually got together, asked Kirk Hinrich to pull out a pencil and paper, then went to work on setting goals for 2013.
However it happened, the Bulls seem to be on the right track. Boozer continued his strong play by finishing with 24 points and 11 rebounds, his fifth straight double-double.
He's averaged 27.3 points in the first three contests of January, which includes sweeping a two-game trip to Orlando and Miami, followed by the Bulls' 11th straight victory over Cleveland. Five of the last 6 wins against the Cavs have been by 26 points or more.
"We're jelling," Boozer said. "We work hard together. We hang out together. It's like a college team. We all ride for each other, want everybody to do well. Games like this are fun, because everybody played so great. We like moments like this. We wish all the games could be like this."
Boozer refused to provide any details of the players hanging out together during the extra day the Bulls spent in Miami. But the players do appear to be serious about turning things around. Besides the loss to Charlotte, the Bulls were blown out by Atlanta and Houston during the final 10 days of 2012.
"I think we realized we have more potential than we showed in the last couple weeks of 2012," Boozer said. "Everybody's just playing better, stepping up. Just playing a little bit better doing a little bit more and it's turning into wins for us."
The Bulls (19-13) dominated the glass against the Cavs, building a 47-31 advantage, and matched a season-high with 34 assists.
But the most interesting entry on the stat sheet was the 3-point shooting. The Bulls went 10-for-14 from long range Monday.
That's compelling because they ranked last in the league with 4.6 made 3-pointers per game before this one. The Bulls even signed a 3-point specialist on Sunday, former Houston, Oklahoma City and Miami guard Daequan Cook. He played the final 2:07 of his Bulls debut and missed his only shot.
Everyone else couldn't miss. Marco Belinelli and Nate Robinson each went 3-for-4 from long range.
"It was just hot. Guys were hot," Robinson said. "It happens. Hopefully we can keep it up, keep knocking the shots down. For us, the defense is key. It shows and now our offense is clicking. Hopefully we can keep riding this wave and we'll be all right."
Coach Tom Thibodeau feels improved 3-point shooting has been a trend for his team, though it's always possible the presence of Cook provided some extra motivation. After the Bulls fell behind 30-22 in the first quarter, reserves Robinson (14 points), Belinelli (15 points) and Taj Gibson (18 points) led a second-quarter surge.
"They're in rhythm now. That's the biggest thing," Thibodeau said. "It's off ball movement. (The ball is) hitting the paint, coming out, (making) the extra pass. So they're rhythm threes. Our percentage has slowly been creeping up. I think the first 15 games, it was around 29 percent. We're taking the right ones now and I think that's important."

I thought that this was the only way to make an omelet until I had the French and American kinds. It's funny; we like ours thin and lightly browned, whereas the classic American version is fluffy and pale yellow. This almost reminds me of a Spanish frittata; you can eat a quarter of it with a small salad and it makes a satisfying light lunch. My mum usually makes this for lunch when she's got a heavy dinner planned. It's one of my dad's favorites! This is also apparently one of those things that you can get at the train stations in India: jump onto the platform, grab a hot "railway omelet" and speed walk to work where you can nosh away in peace. Bliss!
Grab a bowl. Crack the eggs into the bowl and beat until lathery, about 1 minute. Whisk in the onion, chile, cilantro, turmeric, and paprika until well combined. Sprinkle with a big pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
Grab a 12-inch nonstick skillet. Add the oil and warm over medium-high heat until mildly shimmering but not smoking. Have a spatula/spoonula at the ready. Pour egg mixture into the pan. Grab the spatula/spoonula and, in small circular motions, distribute the onions, chile, and cilantro evenly around the pan. This also helps move some of the uncooked egg down to the surface of the hot pan. Cover and cook for 2 1/2 minutes.
Grab a plate that's as big as your pan. Pull off the lid and look at your omelet. It might still look a little runny, but it shouldn't be super runny. If it is, then cover and cook 1 more minute. Slide the omelet, cooked side down, onto your plate. Then, holding the plate from underneath, put your pan over your plate, and flip so that the uncooked side lands on the pan. Cook, uncovered, another minute.
Slide onto serving plate, cut into 4, and serve.

In 2004, NAAR committed $6.2 million to fund 25 pilot studies, 14 pre- and post-doctoral fellowships as well as two large collaborative programs: the NAAR Autism Genome Project and expansion of the Autism Tissue Program. In addition, NAAR's 2004 research commitments include the ongoing support of two interdisciplinary autism training programs that are being co-sponsored by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. NAAR's 2004 research awards are the largest single-year commitment to biomedical autism research ever made by a non-governmental organization and are funding pilot studies and fellowships in the U.S., Canada and England.
Collaborative Projects & Programs
NAAR Autism Genome Project
In 2004, NAAR has committed $2 million towards the NAAR Autism Genome Project, an NIH partnership that is the largest research collaboration ever to focus on the genetics of the disorder. The NAAR Autism Genome Project will map the human genome in the search for autism susceptibility genes - the genes responsible for the inherited risk for autism. A public/private research partnership, this collaboration includes approximately 170 of the world's leading genetic researchers from 50 academic and research institutions that have pooled their DNA samples in a collaborative effort.
Autism Tissue Program
NAAR has committed $200,000 in 2004 towards the ongoing expansion of the Autism Tissue Program, a parent-led brain tissue donation program dedicated to autism research and jointly supported by the NIH. The program makes post-mortem brain tissue available to as many qualified scientists as possible who are focused on autism research. NAAR established and first funded the Autism Tissue Program in 1998.

Standard penis rings are mostly recommended to newbies. They are very easy to put on, remove and do not irritate the skin. They strike by a simple design, no additional features and most of them fasten, depict a loop or an O-shaped construction.
Aside from the main functions of a standard penis ring the vibrating ring vibrates. This cock ring is endowed with a discreet bullet that provides both partners with simultaneous canoodling.
Penis rings with clitoral teasers
These penis rings are perfect for lovemaking and masturbation, too. They depict attachments totally dedicated to a woman's responsive clitoris. This kind of sex toys is perfect for those couples where the woman is able to climax only by stimulating the clitoris. Thus both sex partners are given the chance to experience powerful vibrations and make their coitus long-lasting
A penis ring represents a sex toy cleverly designed to be placed around the phallus. It is usually placed at the shaft's base thus trapping the blood in it, causing engorgement, higher sensitivity and firmer erections. A cock ring is perfect for prolonging a man's ejaculations thus making the sex session more enjoyable and long-lasting. Moreover, when the user of a cock ring ejaculates, his sensations are extremely intense and powerful. It is because of the bigger amount of the blood in the manhood.
Men use these adult toys to make their masturbation satisfying. They opt for this dandy devices to prolong the intercourse, have explosive orgasms and cope with erectile problems. There are penis rings meant to simultaneously stimulate both partners (vibrating, endowed with clitoral, anal teaser, etc). So , be more enthusiastic and use cock rings during your masturbation games or mutual encounters for added stimulation and orgasmic intimate moments!
Penis rings are made from a wide range of materials starting with jelly, rubber, leather, silicone and ending with metal and other materials. Every of these materials has its fors and againsts. And you should take them into account for avoiding unpleasant conditions and unpredictable problems. Material is a very important issue on which you should zero in when it comes to sex toys. It is tightly related to your sensations, the methods of cleaning and storing your toy, its lifespan and price.

UC Hastings is hosting the first-ever symposium to look at the successes and failures of efforts to reform the Japanese justice system Sept. 7, 2012.
Japan has the fewest lawyers per capita of any developed country. As such, Japanese citizens have difficulties accessing their justice system, which is largely self-regulated, tightly controlled, and lacks both transparency and a system of checks and balances.
At the behest of the Japanese business community and other reformers, the Japanese government established the Justice System Reform Council in July 1999. This year marks the 11th anniversary of reform efforts. Some have been successful, while others have lagged.
The conference is organized by Visiting Professor of Law Setsuo Miyazawa, who teaches a seminar on Introduction to Japanese Law at UC Hastings. The keynote speaker is one of the most prominent lawyers in Japan, Shunsuke Marushima. Marushima has been intimately involved in reform efforts as both a senior staff member in the Secretariat of the Justice System Reform Council and the Secretary General of the Japan Federation of Bar Associations.
Prior to reforms, Japan had only about 12,000 practicing lawyers and no professional graduate-level law schools, Miyazawa explained. Admission to the practice was tightly controlled. The bar pass rate was only 1.5%.Law graduates applied to the judiciary immediately after their training, and thus very few judges in Japan have ever practiced law. So few attorneys were in Japan that often major corporations had no lawyers in their legal departments, Miyazawa said.
Access to justice is a serious issue for both civil and criminal matters. Without jury trials, few citizens understand the legal system. Cases are heard by panels of judges. Convictions require only simple majorities, even in death penalty cases.
Since the reforms went into effect, there has been no formal conference to review their successes and failures. The Sept. 7, 2012, conference marks both the first time such issues will be debated, and is the inaugural symposium of the East Asian Law Program at UC Hastings.
Organizers expect attendees from around the globe, as well as U.S. lawyers whose practice touches Japan.
The symposium has been underwritten by several generous donors, including the Michael A. Kelly '76 International Enrichment Initiative and the Egusa Foundation for International Cooperation in the Social Sciences. Other donors include San Francisco lawyer Tomio Narita '91; his firm, Simmonds & Narita LLP; the Arseny and Olga Kovshar Private Charitable Foundation. The Hastings International and Comparative Law Review will publish some of the conference papers in a symposium issue in April 2013.
Professor Miyazawa has been writing and teaching about Japanese legal reforms, both here and at Aoyama Gakuin University Law School. "I am committed to the reform of legal education and expanding the number and quality of judges," he said. He also believes there need to be more attorneys in Japan. "No one else is shining a light on this," he said. "Even the government didn't hold any meetings to celebrate the 10th anniversary of reforms."

Policies and Procedures for Museum Staff
I. Library Privileges
Only those with Library privileges may enter and use the non-public areas of the Library, including the Current Literature Room, the Photocopy Room, and the Stacks. Library privileges may be requested by those who have a valid Museum identification badge (valid badges must include a photo and a magnetic strip). For more information on obtaining library privileges, please see our Borrowing and Circulation page.
II. General Policies and Procedures
All new library users should schedule an orientation of the Library to learn how to access Library materials. Library users must wear their valid Museum identification badge when entering non-public areas of the Library. Coats and bags must be left in the designated area at the entrance to the Library. ALL MATERIALS MUST BE CHARGED OUT AT THE CIRCULATION/REFERENCE DESK BEFORE BEING REMOVED FROM THE LIBRARY. At their discretion, Reference Staff may limit the use and/or circulation of especially rare or fragile materials. Please do not reshelve any materials (Library staff will reshelve). ALL LIBRARY MATERIALS MUST BE USED IN THE MUSEUM ONLY. NO MATERIAL MAY BE REMOVED FROM MUSEUM PREMISES.
Library users with full privileges must store Library materials that they have charged out in an area where the item can be accessed and recalled by Library staff (at any time) for use by another patron. Lost Library materials should be promptly reported to the Reference staff. Loss of Library materials, or failure to return recalled Library materials, will result in an invoice to the borrower (or the borrower's sponsor or supervisor) in the amount of the full replacement cost of the item. Unpaid invoices will result in Library privileges being revoked. Departing Museum staff and associates must return all Library materials before their final day at the Museum.
III. Photocopy Policies
Photocopy machines are to be used for copying Library materials only. Rare, fragile, and oversize materials may not to be photocopied without first consulting a Reference Librarian. The time limit for use of the photocopy machines is ten minutes if others are waiting. Please visit our Reproduction and Licensing page for more information.
The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, U.S. Code) governs the making of photocopies and other reproductions of copyrighted materials; those using the photocopy machines are liable for any infringement of this law.
IV. Conservation and Preservation of Library Materials
To avoid putting stress on the bindings of books and journals when photocopying, put the crease of the book or journal along the slanted edge of the photocopy machine and copy one page at a time (rather than pressing the material flat on the machine in order to copy two pages at once). Consult a Librarian before attempting to photocopy rare, fragile, or oversize materials. Do not use paper clips or sticky-notes on any library materials; acid-free bookmarks are available at the Reference Desk.
Materials that are charged out should be treated with care; do not store them near open windows, radiators, air conditioners, etc. Do not eat or drink near library materials. Additional information about the Library's conservation policies is available from the Conservation Department page. Information and advice about preserving books and papers as well as a list of suppliers for archival materials is also provided.
V. Procedures for Routing New Books
New books and journals are put on display in the Current Literature Room every Monday. Users with full privileges who wish to charge out new books may sign up for them using hold slips provided in the Current Literature Room. These items will be automatically charged out and will be available for pickup at the Reference/Circulation desk the following Monday. It is the borrowers' responsibility to check the hold shelf regularly for materials being held for them. Books are charged out as long-term loans unless others have also signed up for the book. In this case the book is only charged out for a two-week period after which time it must be returned to be routed to the next person on the hold list. New journals do not circulate.
VI. Interlibrary Loan
Because interlibrary loan costs are absorbed by the Library, this service is restricted to those with full library privileges needing loans for work-related research.
Materials are loaned to the AMNH Library as a courtesy, and their conditions of use, including due dates, must be respected. Library users who need interlibrary loan materials for a longer period than the time allotted should discuss this matter with the Interlibrary Loan Manager. The Interlibrary Loan Manager may be able to renew the loan (in order to extend the due date) or borrow another copy of the item from a different library. Failure to return interlibrary loan materials on time jeopardizes the AMNH Library's liaisons with other libraries and could adversely affect other Museum staff needing interlibrary loan services. Users who return interlibrary loan materials late will be served with a formal warning. Users who subsequently return interlibrary loan materials late will lose interlibrary loan privileges.
Visit the Interlibrary Loan page for more information about loan services and policies.
Library users who consistently ignore Library policies will have their privileges suspended or revoked.

Thirteen - unlucky for some. Very unlucky if you're name is Arsene Wenger.
The fixture-Gods have thrown up one of the most daunting runs imaginable for Wenger's side towards the end of October and start of November.
Beginning with a tough home game against London rivals Chelsea in the Capital One Cup, Arsenal then travel to Anfield for a table-topping clash, before jetting off to Germany to face Champions League runners up Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.
To compound what could be a miserable 13 days, Arsenal finish the run of games with a trip to Old Trafford.
The Gunners have thus far impressed in the league and in Europe, though ignoring the fact Wenger's squad is paper-thin in certain areas would be foolish for even the most hardcore of Arsenal fans.
Should Olivier Giroud sustain an injury in the international break with France or in Arsenal's following fixtures, it would leave the Emirates side relying on Nicklas Bendtner as the clubs only out-and-out striker.
A changed man he may be, but he certainly hasn't morphed into a world class striker.
With a team lacking in title-winning experience, Arsenal will be hoping they can rely on momentum and a certain German international to see them through to a trophy come May.
Yet defeat against Chelsea - and elimination from one potential trophy - followed by defeat against their first real test in the Premier League (excluding Tottenham), and already the back pages start to turn against the Gunners.
Whilst Arsenal have thus far looked impressive in Europe, with two games against Dortmund coming up, it is a real possibility that defeat at Signal Iduna Park could see Wenger's men staring Champions League elimination down the barrel.
What better remedy than a visit to Manchester four days later? Arsenal have won just one of their last 10 visits to Old Trafford and were famously trounced 8-2 in 2011.
Of course, this could all be nonsense and Wenger's side may dazzle us all with a string of superb performances and results.
However, this wouldn't be the first time we've seen an Arsenal side dramatically collapse in recent seasons. Remember 2008 anybody?

A Jewish civil rights group is denouncing placards posted at a deteriorating former Detroit car plant that spell out words that were part of a metal gate at the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp in Nazi-occupied Poland.
The Anti-Defamation League said in a statement Tuesday that the posting of "Arbeit macht frei" at the defunct Packard plant is "an intentional and malicious act" and requested its quick removal.
The German phrase meaning "Work makes free" greeted Jews and other prisoners the Germans sent to Auschwitz during World War II. An estimated 1.1 million to 1.5 million people died there.
It's unknown who put up the signs, and the plant's ownership is in dispute.
Anti-Defamation League Regional Director Heidi Budaj says the message reflects the "cruel cynicism of Nazism."

Dived.in is a web application built by London WDI alum George Gray. Designed to help scuba divers find great diving locations, George developed the application from the ground up using Rails and a front-end JavaScript framework.
Dived.in was developed to serve as a community resource for divers to share their experiences. As a community-moderated website, it would allow users to crowdsource their favorite dive sites, including relevant photos and tips.
George gathered feedback on his project idea by reviewing user stories, wireframes and his data model before developing his project.

Hello Seahawks fans!
I will start by saying I'm a die-hard Packer fan. The MNF game hurt deep inside. But I'm not here to talk about that.
Obviously I am a huge Russell Wilson fan and root for the Seahawks whenever they aren't playing the Packers. We(Badgers fans) knew he would be a good NFL starter and with a 6-4 record he is proving us right and most everyone else wrong.
Being a big fan I got sick of all the RGIII and Andrew Luck talk and decided to take matters into my own hands. Here is my new music video dedicated to the man himself. Hope you enjoy. Please share with all your Seahawks friends.
Packers-Seahawks NFC Championship???????

Sonny Boy Williamson
Although he wasn't on the cutting edge when it came to amplifying his harmonica, John Lee 'Sonny Boy' Williamson had no problem with bringing in an electric guitarist on his postwar RCA Victor sessions, keeping up with the times as Chicago blues got brasher and louder. The discographies claim that Big Bill Broonzy is the axeman on 1947's rollicking Better Cut That Out—a role Big Bill should have been accustomed to by then, since he'd first backed Sonny Boy in the studio in 1939.
Sonny Boy's place in the blues pantheon is a revered one. He was the first man to render the harmonica a full-fledged solo instrument with his boundlessly imaginative, instantly identifiable wailing. All of a sudden, even the local AFM had to bestow its seal of approval on the harmonica (prior to Sonny Boy's emergence, it was considered more of a novelty). "They found what harps could do, a man sellin' all them records," said the late Chicago pianist Sunnyland Slim. "Sonny Boy went down to the Club Georgia and all the people went down to see him, and the Unions put the harps in."
He was so influential that a legion of disciples hung on his every note and a certain wizened harpist down in the Delta appropriated his name as his own (more about that rascal later). The original Sonny Boy was born March 30, 1914 in Jackson, Tennessee. In his mid-teens, he rambled with fellow bluesmen Yank Rachell and Sleepy John Estes. At 20 he came to the Windy City, and by 1937 Williamson was a member of A&R man Lester Melrose's recording stable.
The young harpist made his first session for Bluebird as a leader in May of '37 in Aurora, Illinois (a Chicago suburb); among the fruits of his debut date was the classic Good Morning, School Girl. Williamson was responsible for introducing a fair amount of blues standards-to-be: Sugar Mama Blues, Blue Bird Blues, My Little Machine, Elevator Woman, and his 1947 hit Shake The Boogie to name a few.
Better Cut That Out was a hit for Sonny Boy as well, going to #15 R&B for a week near the end of 1948. Cut November 12 of the previous year with a Chicago band consisting of Broonzy, pianist Blind John Davis, bassist Ransom Knowling, and drummer Judge Riley, the infectious stop-time romp tragically turned out to be the last track Williamson ever cut. He died June 1, 1948 after being viciously beaten in the street—a devastating turn of events for 12-year-old Billy Boy Arnold, who had only recently received his first harmonica lessons from his idol.
"He was such a warm, friendly guy. He told me he'd teach me anything I needed to know," says Arnold. "The third time I came by his house, he had gotten murdered. He was a young guy. He was only 34 when he got killed. I didn't want to be a professional. I just wanted to learn how to do it. I said, 'All I want to do is learn how to play, make the sounds that he made.' And it just snowballed from there."

It has been about 8 months since I first started ilictronix, and what first seemed to be a good idea soon turned out badly. So starting tonight, ilictronix will now be known as Jonas Brothersonix.
Look guys, I need the hits. I've made some dumb mistakes and I need the money quick. Running an electronic music blog just isn't worth it anymore, I'm slowly dying. So from now on, this blog is dedicated to Jonas Brothers.
The Jonas Brothers are an American pop-rock boy band. The band gained their popularity from the Disney Channel children's television network. Hailing from Wyckoff, New Jersey, the band consists of three brothers: Kevin Jonas, Joe Jonas, and Nick Jonas. In the summer of 2008, they starred in the Disney Channel Original Movie Camp Rock.
They have released three albums: It's About Time (2006), Jonas Brothers (2007), and A Little Bit Longer (2008). The band's fourth studio album will be released June 15, 2009; tentatively titled Lines, Vines and Trying Times In 2008, the group was nominated for the Best New Artist award at the 51st Grammy Awards and won the award for Breakthrough Artist at the American Music Awards.
Today I will be posting Jonas Brothersonix's first track, Burnin' Up.Which is highly regarded as the best song ever made in the world ever.
Burnin' Up starts like any classic rock song, with some flawless synth and a great tea kettle sample. Some weezy kid then comes in to talk about his pre-pubescent love for another 9-year-old. The guitar riffs are savage, and the lyrics are wholesome. In my opinion, this song is a classic. I look forward to seeing JoBro around for at least another 20 years. Overall, I give this song a more-than-perfect 13 out of 10. Well deserved, considering it's synth lines that rival the great Stevie Wonder and guitar shredding that Eddie Vedder only dreams he could do.

Happy April Fools Day,

Cardinals go for 5-0 in former home cityPosted: Updated:
ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Thirty-eight years ago, the last time the Arizona Cardinals were 4-0, their home was St. Louis and they were known affectionately as the Big Red.
Nearly a quarter century since departing for the desert, they're on top of their game again.
The surprising Cardinals don't have one of the best offenses in the NFL, far from it actually. Throw out the big plays on defense and they're pretty much middle of the road there, too. Their games are going down to the wire, the last one ending in overtime and three of them decided by a total of nine points.
Not surprisingly, they're just a 1-point favorite to beat the St. Louis Rams. On Thursday night, the Cardinals will have a shot at being the first team to 5-0, two wins shy of the 7-0 start in 1974 by a team that featured Hall of Famers Dan Dierdorf, Roger Wehrli, Larry Wilson and Jackie Smith.
One of the advantages to all the close calls is there's no danger of overconfidence.
"Obviously, we're excited to be 4-0," coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "We've had four up and down games. We've had a lot of trauma in them, so there's been a lot of emotion extended.
"But just to be where we are, we're certainly pleased about that."
The Cardinals have had a knack for handling late-game pressure since midway through last year, when they rebounded from a 1-6 start and became the first NFL team to win four overtime games in a season. All eight of their wins last season were by a touchdown or less.
They're still in that mode, winning the 500th game in club history last week after forcing overtime on Kevin Kolb's TD pass to Andre Roberts with 22 seconds to go. The Dolphins gained 480 yards but scored just two touchdowns last week as Arizona won its seventh straight overtime game.
As coaches say all the time, it's a bottom line business.
"They are a hell of a team, they're really well-coached," Rams defensive end Chris Long said. "They're 4-0 and rightfully so, they've done things to win those games.
"It's going to be a great challenge for us. I really mean that."
There's good reason for those words of respect.
The series has been quite lopsided between the club that departed St. Louis in 1988 after big money squabbling thwarted plans for a new stadium, and the franchise that replaced them in 1995 after receiving a bounty of concessions. Among them is a lease that could allow to team to leave after the 2014 season if their domed stadium isn't deemed to be in "first tier status."
The Cardinals have won 10 of the last 11 since the second meeting in 2006, half of them by double digits, and have a franchise-best seven-game winning streak in St. Louis. Punt returns for touchdown by Patrick Peterson fueled both victories last season, one of them in overtime.
"I'm sorry that those guys are back up on the schedule again," Peterson said. "But if they give me an opportunity, I have to do my job."
The Rams (2-2) have made great strides under new coach Jeff Fisher, with every game up for grabs in the fourth quarter. The defense has been opportunistic with a league-leading eight interceptions, three of them last week capped by Brandon Fletcher's clinching pick with a minute to go that foiled the Seahawks' comeback bid.
The offense is developing despite severe injury woes on the line, with each member of the patchwork unit receiving a game ball last week after limiting the Seahawks to two sacks. Sam Bradford has had more time to establish chemistry with the deepest group of pass catchers he's had in his three NFL seasons. Cross midfield and they're in range for rookie kicker Greg Zuerlein, who's 12 for 12 and last week became the first kicker in NFL history to make field goals from 50-plus and 60 yards in a game.
If they can end the Cardinals' unbeaten run, they'll be 3-0 at home, where they're slowly regaining fan trust. The franchise was 15-65 the previous five seasons, the worst five-year streak in NFL history.
"Well yes, you establish rivalries, but I wouldn't imagine we have one based on past history over the last four or five years," Fisher said. "We haven't had much a rivalry with anybody, so we have to work toward that, and that comes from having competitive, great games and close games and those kind of things."
Both teams have a short work week. It'll be the Rams' first prime-time game at home since playing Pittsburgh in 2007, and just the eighth Thursday night game in club history.
Arizona is playing on Thursday night for the first time since 2008.
"It's an easy adjustment for me. I'm 22 years old, so I can bounce back fairly quicker than the other guys around here in the locker room," Peterson said.
If the Rams prevail, they'll have a winning record for the first time since 2006, when they began 4-1 before losing five in a row. It's a run of futility running back Steven Jackson, who's been with St. Louis since 2004 and has yet to play on a team that finished above .500.
"I've only been a Ram, so it would feel good," Jackson said. "I hope to retire a Ram, so I hope to have a lot more of those."
