Twombly and Iqbal: Reality Check
In Bell Atlantic v. Twombly (2007) and Ashcroft v. Iqbal (2009), the Supreme Court gave trial courts more latitude to dismiss a lawsuit at a very early stage, before the parties have had a chance to engage in discovery (the often lengthy and expensive fact-finding stage of civil litigation), if judges think the suit is not founded on "plausible" allegations of wrongdoing.
There's a rich, angry debate about the effect the decisions will have on dismissal rates of meritorious suits in lower courts. But the consensus among academics seems to be that both decisions will trigger a sea-change in lower court practice—one deeply unfavorable to plaintiffs.
We won't know the real effect of these decisions for many years to come. But a 2007 study by the Federal Judicial Center on the effect of a trio of similarly controversial 1986 Supreme Court decisions (known as the "Celotex trilogy") raises questions about dire claims that Twombly or Iqbal will dramatically change lower court practice.
The debate over the Celotex trilogy in the 1980s is eerily similar to today's debate over Twombly and Iqbal. Responding to concerns that juries award arbitrarily large judgments against corporate defendants, the Celotex trilogy gave lower courts more latitude to grant summary judgment—that is, to toss lawsuits at the end of discovery, before a case gets to a jury, when the judge thinks there is insufficient evidence to justify a jury trial. Many academics complained that the cases would result in a radical sea change in lower court practice—one that benefited corporate defendants at the expense of plaintiffs.
The FJC's 2007 study is the most comprehensive study of the effect of the decisions to date. Based on data drawn from 15,000 docket sheets in randomly sampled terminated cases in six district courts, the FJC found (as expected) that, before and after the trilogy, summary judgment filing and disposition rates vary significantly from circuit to circuit and between types of cases. After controlling for differences in filing rates across circuits and for changes over time in the types of cases filed, the authors found that "the likelihood that a case contained one or more motions for summary judgment increased before the Supreme Court trilogy, from approximately 12% in 1975 to 17% in 1986, and has remained fairly steady, at approximately 19% since that time." Moreover, between 1975 and 2000, "no statistically significant changes over time were found in the outcome of defendants' or plaintiffs' summary judgment motions, after controlling for differences across courts and types of cases." Indeed, despite anecdotal claims that Celotex prompted a significant increase in summary judgment in civil rights cases, the authors found "no evidence that the likelihood of a summary judgment motion or termination by summary judgment has increased" in civil rights cases since 1986.
It's easy to overstate the FJC's findings. (The data tell us nothing about the quality of summary judgment decisions before or after Celotex, and shed no light on disposition rates at a micro-level, i.e. in product liability actions, as opposed to other tort actions, or Title VII actions, as opposed to other civil rights actions, for example.) The study nonetheless lends some plausibility to the view that Celotex was less a catalyst for change than a ratification of preexisting lower court practice that had evolved largely in spite of the Supreme Court and which the Court was, and is, largely powerless to control.
It's easy to think of reasons why trial courts' summary judgment practice might evolve independently of the Supreme Court. A surprisingly large number of trial court decisions, including grants of partial summary judgment, are not immediately appealable—and the pervasiveness of settlement means many of these decisions are never appealed. Intermediate appellate courts, moreover, affirm trial court decisions at an incredibly high rate. And the Supreme Court, which takes only about 80 appeals a year, has dramatically limited capacity to police the innumerable summary judgment dispositions made daily throughout the federal court system. The upshot is that trial courts, as a practical matter, have long had wide discretion to decide even pivotal motions, like summary judgment, with relatively light appellate oversight.
Are Twombly and Iqbal a replay of the Celotex trilogy? Only time will tell. But what we know, to date, about the Celotex trilogy suggests that, whatever you think about Twombly or Iqbal, strong claims about the influence of either decision may well overstate the Supreme Court's power and influence over trial court practice.

Structured Wiring
Structured wiring is the key to a seamlessly automated home. Without it, electronic devices are unable to communicate at their optimal best. HomeSecurityStore.com understands this and offers homeowners the structured wiring needed to properly integrate a number of automated devices ranging from computing and communication devices to home security systems.
Many who are unfamiliar with structured wiring may believe that it is a lot more complicated and expensive than it actually is. Simply, it involves wiring that can be self-installed behind walls in order to allow electronic equipment to communicate and exchange data with other devices in the home. The types of wiring needed varies, but all run from a central distribution box to rooms where devices are located.
Wiring is typically offered in bundles which include coaxial cables and twisted cables. Specifically, wiring for video devices will involve RG-6 coaxial cables while other devices using voice and data technology will require at least Category 5 cables or higher. In some instances, fiber optic cables may also be a viable option.
All of the structured wiring within a home should operate from a central distribution box. This can be (and often is) compared to old fashioned telephone switchboards where communication was routed through an operator that controlled the process. With structured wiring, however, the operator is actually a box used to connect all devices. This allows equipment to not only communicate with other devices, but the central distribution panel also allows homeowners to control each device that is connected to it.
While structured wiring can sound rather technical and complicated, it isn't. All of the wiring offered in this section can be self-installed and our tech experts are always happy to answer questions and help troubleshoot any issues. HomeSecurityStore.com provides the best in structured wiring in order to help you automate your lighting, television and telephone devices, computer systems and, most importantly, your home security system.

MARC MUSTOE, OT, 6-7, 280, Arvada West
COACH JON EMBREE SAYS: "He's a big, tall kid and all of 280 right now. He's going to be a 320-330 guy. You wonder about tall kids and whether they can bend. He can bend."
WHAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW: Twice named Academic All-Colorado, maintaining a grade-point average above 3.8.
MY TAKE: Embree couldn't hide is joy at getting Mustoe to flip from an oral commitment at UCLA – where Embree's former CU coach, Rick Neuheisel, and where one of Embree's sons is a wide receiver. Sounds like Mustoe has great upside, which is great because coaches wonder about big kids peaking in high school because they had a size advantage. May take a couple of years in the weight room, but remember his name for the future.

The Board of Trustees of the Peace Prize of the German Publishers and Booksellers Association has chosen Algerian author Boualem Sansal to be the recipient of this years Peace Prize. The announcement was made by Dr. Gottfried Honne-felder, chairman of the German Publishers and Booksellers Association, at the start of the 2011 Buchtage Berlin (Berlin Book Days). Honnefelder noted: Our choice this year is intended as a signal of encouragement for democracy move-ments in North Africa. The award ceremony will take place during the Frankfurt Book Fair on Sunday, October 16, 2011 in the Church of St. Paul in Frankfurt, Germany and be broadcast live on the German public TV channel ZDF. The Peace Prize has been awarded since 1950 and is endowed with a sum of 25,000.
The Board of Trustees issued the following statement with regard to their choice: "The German Publishers and Booksellers Association awards the 2011 Peace Prize of the German Book Trade to Boualem Sansal. In doing so, the association and its members have chosen to honor an Algerian author and passionate story-teller who has consistently encouraged intercultural dialogue in a spirited and compassionate manner as well as in an atmosphere of respect and mutual under-standing. Boualem Sansal is one of the few remaining intellectuals in Algeria who continue to voice criticism of political and social conditions in that country. With his unrelenting plea for the kind of free speech and public dialogue that are hall-marks of a democratic society, he labors against all forms of doctrinarian blind-ness, terror and political arbitrariness. His critical view is, however, directed not only at his homeland, but also at the entire contemporary world."
Boualem Sansal was born on October 15, 1949 in the small mountain village of Teniet el-Had and grew up in the working-class district of Belcourt in Algiers. In 1986, after receiving his doctorate in Industrial Economics, he became the gen-eral director of a consulting firm. In 1992, he was appointed an advisor to the Ministry of Trade and, in 1996, he was promoted to a position as a general direc-tor in the Ministry of Industry and Restructuring.
In 1996 – after the 1992 assassination of Algerian President Mohamed Boudiaf and against the backdrop of a nation shaken by civil war – Sansal began writing his first novel "Le serment des barbares" (The Barbarians' Sermon), which was published in 1999 by the French publishing house Gallimard. The novel's open criticism of the political situation in Algeria prompted Sansal's publisher to advise him to publish it under a pseudonym, but Sansal opted not to do so. When the novel was published in Algeria, Sansal was forced to go on leave from his minis-terial position.
In 2003, after two other novels, Sansal published his "Journal intime et politique, Algérie 40 ans après" (An Intimate and Political Journal: Algeria 40 Years Later), which was written with four other Algerian writers as a political diary about the situation in Algeria 40 years after independence. After his critical statements regarding Algerian President Abd al-Aziz Bouteflika, Sansal was discharged en-tirely from his government position. In 2006, Sansal published an open letter to his fellow citizens. Under the title "Poste restante: Algier: Lettre de colère et d'espoir à mes compatriots" (Poste Restante: Algiers: A Letter of Anger and Hope to my Compatriots), he went beyond the Algerian context to call for a true democ-racy in which the vision of an enlightened world population could take shape. After this letter was published, all of Sansal's works were banned in Algeria. Despite all the political pressure he has faced, however, he has chosen to remain in his home country. Sansal's most recent novel, "Le village de l'Allemand ou le journal des frères Schiller" (The German Mujahid, 2008), has received many prizes and been translated into several languages, including German, Dutch, Italian and English.
In addition to the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade (2011), Sansal has recei-ved a number of prestigious awards for his writings, including the Médaille d'honneur de la LICRA, la ligue internationale contre le racisme et l'antisémitisme (2009), the Prix Edouard Glissant (2009), the Prix Louis-Guilloux (2008), the Grand Prix du roman de la Société des gens de lettres (2008), the Grand Prix RTL-Lire (2008), the Grand Prix de la Francophonie de l'Académie Royale de Belgique (2008), the Prix Michel Dard (2001), the Prix Tropiques (1999) and the Prix du Premier Roman (1999).Today, Sansal lives in the coastal town of Bourmerdès, near Algiers. He has two daughters from his first marriage, with a Czech woman. He has been married to his second wife, an Algerian, since 1986.

These are some of the views and reports relevant to our readers that caught our attention this week.
International IDEA
Do Accountability Mechanisms in Safety Nets Improve Access to Social Services? The case of Brazil's Bolsa Família
"This paper was part of International IDEA's work on "Democracy and Development" in 2011. It was selected as a contribution to stimulate debate on and increase knowledge about the impact of democratic accountability on services. A summary of the papers selected and an analysis on some general trends are provided in "Democratic Accountability in Service Delivery: A Synthesis of Case Studies"
The study analyses a semi-governmental mechanism for accountability called social control councils. Through this mechanism beneficiaries are supposed to provide feedback on health and education services. However as beneficiaries have been heavily underrepresented in these councils and membership tends to be skewed towards the local government, they have not been able to function as intended."

How the Arab World Uses Facebook and Twitter
"Social media has been often touted for the role it played in the popular uprisings that have spread across the Arab world since December 2010. Despite the buzz, you may be surprised that only 0.26% of the Egyptian population, 0.1% of the Tunisian population and 0.04% of the Syrian population are active on Twitter.
Of all the countries in North Africa and the Middle East, Twitter is most popular in Kuwait, where 8.6% of the population is active users, defined as those who tweet at least once per month. Facebook's more popular throughout the region. In its most popular country, the U.A.E., some 36.18% of the population is on Facebook." READ MORE

The Bill Scheible "In The Fold" Award recognizes an individual who displays the program's four major attributes of faith, order, love and discipline and is named in honor of the longtime FSU Gridiron Club president.
A 2009 inductee into the Bulldog Athletics Hall of Fame, Scheible stepped down as the president of FSU's Gridiron Club following the 2012 season. The former Bulldog football player has been a longtime supporter of Ferris State football and played an active role in the continued development of the Gridiron Club throughout his more than 30 years of service.
Scheible, who hails from Emmett, played football for the Bulldogs from 1974 to 1976. He was later employed at Ferris State as an athletics department administrator and alumni relations director following his playing career. He served FSU as the Ewigleben Ice Arena Manager, Athletics Business Manager and Assistant to the Athletics Director during his tenure.
The Bulldog alum began overseeing booster club activity during his time as an athletics administrator at Ferris State and eventually led the Bulldog Club while serving as alumni director. He's been at the helm of the Gridiron Club since its inception in 1995 and has totaled more than 30 years of being closely involved in football booster-related activities.
A 1976 All-Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Honorable Mention selection, Scheible paced the Bulldogs in receiving during the '76 season with 19 catches for 321 yards (16.9 avg.) and one touchdown. The former defensive back and three-year starter led FSU in punt returns with 12 for 170 yards and a 14.2 average, fifth best in NCAA Division III for the 1975 season. For his three-year career, Scheible totaled 22 receptions for 378 yards and a touchdown (17.2 avg.) and posted 265 yards on 29 punt returns (9.1 avg.).
As a senior in 1976, he had six punt returns for 31 yards (5.2 avg.). In his junior season (1975), Scheible notched three receptions for 57 yards (19.0 avg.). He also garnered a team-leading 11 punt returns for 64 yards (5.8 avg.) during his sophomore campaign in 1974.
Now a State Farm Insurance agent in Big Rapids, he was named the Mecosta County Chamber of Commerce Businessperson of the Year in 1999. Scheible has also earned his firm's Legion of Honor and Bronze Tablet for sales excellence.
Very active as a community leader and volunteer, the longtime supporter of Bulldog Athletics has also served as president of the Mecosta County Chamber of Commerce along with being involved with the Big Rapids Jaycees, Big Rapids Little League, Mecosta County United Way and St. Paul's Campus Parish. He's currently the public address announceer for Big Rapids High School football.
Scheible and his family have also made numerous financial contributions to the university to help support athletics over the years. He and his wife, Lynne, reside in Big Rapids and have two adult children, Nick and Lindsey, along with a grandson, Rowan. Nick, who currently serves as the Director of Finance and Athletic Director at Big Rapids High School, played collegiate hockey for the Bulldogs and was a member of the school's 2002-03 CCHA Championship Team.

What are we looking at here? This is the free space of the various mount points of the phone. System is the OS (Android 4.0.4 in this case) and SD should be fairly self-explanatory.
The 147MB data segment is the space for storing apps. It's supposed to be 512MB, but HTC did something funky… and a lot of the default apps take up space here, so there is really not a lot of space for third party apps. The first thing you do when installing a new ROM on the Desire is to create a new Ext partition, and start linking parts of your data mount to it.
As with all things Android, there's a choice of what to move off to your partition: Apps, Data and Dalvik Cache. Moving Apps to Ext is essential, but at the same time, doesn't help much. After four or five apps, I'm still out of space on my Apps partition.
I decide to move Data but it doesn't help much. This screenshot shows the result after moving data – and data still has 128MB used of 147MB. Surprise surprise – Dalvik Cache is also stored in "Data".
Unfortunately, moving Dalvik Cache pretty much hoses your performance. It contains pre-compiled byte code and loading that off SD card takes a long time. Apps start taking between 10 seconds and a minute to start-up.
I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. Truly awful performance, but plenty of space for apps. Or moderately poor performance and no space for apps.

GSTAAD, Switzerland, July 22 (UPI) -- No. 6-seeded Mikhail Youzhny wasted little time after a lengthy rain delay Monday in finishing off a first-round win at the Swiss Open tennis tournament.
Youzhny defeated Paul-Henri Mathieu 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 behind a 13-ace attack and losing only one game on serve.
But the match was even at 1-1 in the third set with Mathieu serving at 30-0 when the rains hit, causing a suspension of play for more than an hour. When they resumed, Youzhny turned the game around, immediately getting a break to take the lead. He allowed Mathieu just once more game the rest of the way.
Fifth-seeded Feliciano Lopez followed with a 7-6 (7-2), 6-3 win over Jan Hernych in which he lost 10 points in 11 games serving. A break -- the only one of the match -- midway through the second set allowed Lopez to ride his strong service game to the second round.
Also Monday, Marcel Granollers, winning more than three-quarters of the points on serve, eliminated seventh-seeded Lukas Rosol 6-2, 6-4 and Andrey Kuznetsov got past Sergiy Stakhovsky 7-5, 3-6, 6-2. Stakhovsky is 0-4 since his upset of Roger Federer in the second round at Wimbledon.

A Chinese national killed in the Boston Marathon bombings has been identified as Boston University graduate student Lu Lingzi.
A spokesman for the school told NBC News Lingzi's family gave them permission to release her name. Other victims of Monday's deadly bombings have been identified as 8-year-old Martin Richard, of Boston, and 29-year-old Krystal Campbell, of Medford, Mass.
A graduate student in mathematics and statistics, Lingzi was one of three friends who watched Monday's race near the finish line, according to BU Today, the news and information website for Boston University.
Another of the students injured while watching the race was in stable condition at Boston Medical Center and "doing well," Robert Hill, dean of Marsh Chapel, told BU Today after meeting with the student.
The Chinese Consulate and Boston University had earlier declined to identify Lingzi, pending permission from the student's family.
But Chinese state media and acquaintances had identified her and said she was from the northeastern Chinese city of Shenyang, according to The Associated Press.

Australian Attorney General Wants To Make It A Criminal Offense To Not Turn Over Private Encryption Keys
from the a-disaster-waiting-to-happen deptThe Attorney-General's department in Australia is apparently pushing for new laws down under that would force anyone who's asked to hand over their private encryption keys -- and that covers both end users and service providers. Buried in the middle of a submission concerning revising Australia's wiretapping laws, the AG's office notes:
The Department is also advised that sophisticated criminals and terrorists are exploiting encryption and related counter-interception techniques to frustrate law enforcement and security investigations, either by taking advantage of default-encrypted communications services or by adopting advanced encryption solutions.The Orwellian nature of "intelligibility assistance notices" is fairly striking. Basically, this says if you don't make encrypted communication "intelligible" upon request, you would have violated criminal law. It's kind of funny how it claims this doesn't require anyone to hand over communication in an intelligible form... because it just asks for the encrypted content and the key to decrypt them. Which, you know, is basically the same damn thing.
The Department's current view is that law enforcement, anti-corruption and national security agencies should be permitted to apply to an independent issuing authority for a warrant authorising the agency to issue 'intelligibility assistance notices' to service providers or other persons. The issuing authority should be permitted to impose conditions or restrictions on the scope of this authority.
Under this approach, the person receiving a notice would be required to provide 'information or assistance' to place information obtained under the warrant into an intelligible form. The person would not be required to hand over copies of the communication in an intelligible form, and, a notice would not compel a person to do something which they are not reasonably capable of doing. Failure to comply with a notice would constitute a criminal offence, consistent with the Crimes Act.
The above approach is consistent with the approach taken by the United Kingdom, which permits officials of law enforcement and national security agencies to, where authorised under a warrant, issue a notice requiring a person to provide assistance in connection with accessing encrypted communications. Similarly, South African law permits agencies to apply to a judicial officer for a direction requiring a person to provide information to the agency to enable the agency to decrypt lawfully intercepted communications.
Meanwhile, at the same time as part of the same discussion over wiretapping laws, there's an effort under way in Australia to force service providers into a big data retention scheme, forcing them to hold onto all sorts of data for law enforcement purposes. Incredibly, Australian officials seem to be using the NSA/Snowden leaks as the impetus for this.
Intelligence agency ASIO is using the Snowden leaks to bolster its case for laws forcing Australian telecommunications companies to store certain types of customers' internet and telephone data for a period of what some law enforcement agencies would like to be two years.ASIO also, like the AG's office, seems quite concerned about you damn kids and all your encrypting:
"Since the Snowden leaks, public reporting suggests the level of encryption on the internet has increased substantially," ASIO said.So, even if everything's getting encrypted, certain law enforcement interests seem hell-bent on having everything collected and easy (forced) availability of private keys. If you happen to live in Australia, you might want to speak up about what's about to happen to what you thought were your private communications and browsing activity.
"In direct response to these leaks, the technology industry is driving the development of new internet standards with the goal of having all web activity encrypted, which will make the challenges of traditional telecommunications interception for necessary national security purposes far more complex."

But now, instead, I think I'll just talk about the faceless bitch slide.
Programmer Anne Gunn recently attended a professional conference she values. But after she wrote that post about what she got out of it, she wrote another post, Noah Kagan and the Faceless Bitch Slide, about that speaker's presentation. It's a careful, thoughtful analysis, something you'll value more when you read what happened during the presentation, for which Gunn was in the audience:
...as a way to bring emphasis to a point he was making about the mixture of pleasure and pain with which many of us approach our email inbox at the start of the day, Noah put up on the screen a picture of a young woman . . . writhing, I guess you'd say . . . on a floor, maybe? . . . in ecstasy — well, maybe. . . in pain, probably (a lot more pain than pleasure is what it looked like to me). And he tried very hard to get a couple of the audience members to describe the picture in some detail or put a word to her state. One of them stuttered out enough of a response to earn a bottle of hot sauce. Now, however weird and tasteless writhing-woman was, she was, at least, displayed on the screen in service to a point Noah was making in his speech.
But then came the faceless bitch: a headshot, not even particularly recognizable as female because the face and neck were covered by a huge opaque circle across which, in large letters, was enscribed BITCH.Gunn goes on to describe her reactions, which stopped short of leaving the room or confronting the speaker fully. The comments following her post include many angry, nasty words about women and about her, a backlash against her daring to write about the event.
A short time after the slide flashed on the screen, Kagan glanced over his shoulder, as if a bit surprised, since she clearly didn't have anything to do with the point he was making, and said, "Oh, that's just my previous girlfriend." Then he just left her up there — for a long time. Long enough that finally I came to my senses, picked up my phone, and snapped a picture of the screen.
When I came across this post in a thread on Google+, I was saddened, but not surprised. This is just one of several recent examples, such as:
- This blog grew out of the experience I had with a woman client who was told her presentations weren't "sexy enough" by an all-male team of supervisors.
- Respected Internet researcher Danah Boyd was derailed during a convention keynote when men in the audience posted tweets--projected on a screen behind her as she spoke--about what it would be like to "do her." She didn't find out what was happening until her talk was over (and you can see video of it at the link).
- Even using the word "bitch" in a presentation isn't that unusual, according to this recent report about its use in military presentations.
Yet, when we do have the chance to read about it, it just reminds women of the uncomfortable place they may be putting themselves in when they stand up to speak--or just sit in the audience. They can get coached, dress differently and practice up a storm, but when they speak or watch presentations, they very likely may be reminded that to men present, they're nothing but a sexual object. And we wonder why women hesitate about public speaking. Even the most confident and polished speaker who's female might think more than twice about participating, given these circumstances.
This isn't new behavior. Even the charismatic Sojourner Truth, in her day, was accused of being a man at one assembly (no woman could speak that well, right?) and called on to show her breasts to a group of women so they could verify her gender. Instead, Truth bared her breasts to the entire audience, to silence her critics.
Uncomfortable as it is to have the faceless bitch slide out in the open, it's at least clear--unless our actions serve to obscure the incident. That kind of discrimination is far more difficult to spot when it's coded and hidden, as in those comments about how women talk more than men, when the genders speak about the same number of words per day. What works here is shining a light on it. I'd love to see more men and women calling men on this behavior, in person, on blogs, in letters to conference organizers and fellow speakers, and any other platform they can find. Let's at least create a realistic, rather than romantic, view of what women face when they attend presentations or give them.
What do you think about this uncomfortable situation? Have you walked out of similar presentations? Would you now? Share your thoughts in the comments.

When I was young(er) the cover of an album was almost as much a part of the album as the music contained within. The typeface, the image (whether it was of the band or some pseudo-surreal imagery commissioned by the record label) the visuals somehow came to represent the music, and the music echoed the visuals.
We were all too innocent to think about concepts like marketing and product placement back then (whenever then was) and if we adored a particular artist then they could do no wrong and even looked great when they knelt on the floor with a model of a tank provocatively planted between their legs - in fact Tanx was my favourite late T. Rex album and however slapdash and innuendo-heavy that cover was, I still look on it with fondness and can't separate it from the great music it represented in my mind, and the sense of expectation I felt when I saw the cover before I heard the album.
But now we are all grown up and know better than to associate the random workings of a record company art department with a band the art department may never have even met - don't we? Well, the answer in my case, is no, I'm afraid not.
If a record company creates a cover like the Feryal Öney one which prompted these thoughts (see 'Another CD Catch up' under New Releases) they can expect me to not even play it even if I got it for absolutely nothing, because I've convinced myself I know what it's going to sound like.
And, likewise, if I see an album with interesting artwork at a car boot sale for a quid I'll buy it expecting the contents to be of some value too. Needless to say, this isn't a full-proof way of acquiring a good record collection but it's proved fairly reliable over the years.
Now I've thought about this a bit more, I'd like to ask you all several questions on all this.
1. Favourite album cover(s) of all time
2. Favourite world music album cover
3. Cover that least reflected the music within.
4. Cover that best reflected the music within.
5. Cover you love even though you know you shouldn't.
6. Album you bought on the strength of its interesting cover and weren't disappointed.
7. Album you bought on the strength of its interesting cover and were disappointed.
8. Cover where an artist you'd previously had the utmost respect for disappointed you deeply.
9. LP cover you most often used for rolling joints on.
10. Cover which has the most interesting back-story which you happen to recall.
Feel free to improvise around the above themes or just answer as many or as few of the questions as you like or even add further album cover related questions.

When it comes to movies based on the works of Harry Potter writer J.K. Rowling, just one isn't enough.
Warner Bros. announced the planned screenplay based on Rowling's Harry Potter spinoff, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, will be made into a movie trilogy.
The production company announced its intentions to make a movie based on the 54-page book in September, and Rowling was on tap to write the screenplay.
Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara said the highly anticipated story will be made into three movies.
The story is set in New York about seven decades before the start of the Harry Potter series. It's described as an extension of the wizarding world, not a prequel to the popular series that launched Rowling's career.

Ron Zappolo to return in 9News sports as weekend "sports conversationalist"
9News has hired a big-name Denver anchor, and long-time competitor, out of retirement. Ron Zappolo, who "retired" temporarily last year, will return to TV and to his first love, sports, as a KUSA weekend sports conversationalist. Not an anchor, not a reporter, but a well-known presence injecting a personal style into watercooler stories involving sports.
He'll be paired with Sam Adams, Denver comedian and sportswriter (for the Rocky Mountain News), to talk sports as a segment within the newscast. The first taping is Friday, to air this weekend. UPDATE: the segment will air within the 5 and 10 p.m. Saturday newscasts, per News Director Patti Dennis.
"We'll see what develops," Zappolo said late Tuesday. "Anything's on the table."

This November's ballot is the longest Colorado has seen since 1912. 11 News took to the streets to talk with voters, who it's possibly the most confusing as well.
The President, Congressmen, State Representatives, County Commissioners, judge retentions, 18 statewide initiatives and a handful of local ones -- Some Grand Valley residents say looking at this year's ballot is enough to make their head spin.
"Wow, that's a lot of election information," said Grand Junction voter Karen McClanaham. "A lot of of information."
"I certainly don't know what all the issues are," said Grand Junction voter Robin Parker. "I know there's some important ones and I'm afraid some of those will be overlooked because it's so long."
So just what kind of effect will the longest ballot in Mesa County history have on voters? 11 News took to Main Street where we asked voters to read through the 13 page ballot and see what they made of it.
"Shall there be an amendment to the Colorado Revised Statutes extending the criminal liability of a business entity to its executive officials for the entity's failure to perform a specific duty by law, and in connection therewith -- holy cow!" said McClanaham, as she read Amendment 53. "It's very complicated, I mean with all the if's and's and for with."
"Who makes a contribution in a ballot issue election from entering into a sole source government contract related to the ballot issue and imposing liability and penalties on contract holders, certain of their owners -- It's just gibberish really," said Parker. "No one's going to know what it means."
State officials say there is a way to sort through all the confusion, but it's going to take some effort on your part. In October, all registered voters in Colorado will receive a blue book, a guide to each ballot issue, listing the pros and cons in easy to understand language. It's a ballot lifeline some voters say they will definitely have at the polls with them this year.
"If I was reading this for the first time in the ballot booth, I would probably be there all day," said Parker. "I think this time it's very important to know what we're looking at before we go into the booth."
"There's a lot of people who will not be able to weed out this stuff," said McClanaham. "So that will help a bunch."
It's for that reason, officials are making a big push to get people to vote by mail-in ballot this year.
"Spending as much time as they want on the ballot as opposed to being in a voting booth, I think is a good way to go," said Colorado Secretary of State Mike Coffman.
But for those who plan to vote early or come to the polls on November 4, they say the best thing you can do to ensure a smooth election day, is be prepared.
Early voting in Mesa County begins October 20 and runs through October 31. You can still apply for a mail-in ballot through October 28.

Jackson, LaHair power Cubs system
Top prospect has 20-20 season, veteran sets homer record
By Robert Emrich / Special to MLB.com | October 12, 2011 6:17 AM
For the second straight year, the Cubs found success at the Minor League level, posting a composite .507 winning percentage. Though the Double-A Tennessee Smokies fell short of a title, taking the Southern League Finals to a decisive Game 5, the Class A Advanced Daytona Cubs swept St. Lucie to capture the Florida State League crown.
The Cubs also fared well on the lower rungs as the Dominican Summer League team posted an organizational-high .653 winning percentage, while the Arizona League squad finished with a .500 record, falling three wins short of a playoff spot.
Cubs Organization All-Stars
Catcher -- Steve Clevenger, Tennessee (95 games), Iowa (25 games), Chicago (2 games): The 25-year-old backstop continued to show the bat that has made him a two-time Southern League All-Star. In 120 games split between Double-A and Triple-A, Clevenger batted .319, fifth in the Cubs organization. It was the first time since 2008 that the former seventh-rounder played in more than 100 games, a fact not lost on Smokies manager Brian Harper, who praised Clevenger's skills at the plate and behind it.
"If you can hit, it's a bonus -- Steve can do both," the former Major League catcher said. "This was the first year where he was really a No. 1 catcher. I feel like he's one of the better young receivers. He's got strong soft hands and he catches the ball as well as anyone I've seen. He does a great job behind the plate, everyone knows he can hit. He has a very good arm too."
First base -- Bryan LaHair, Iowa (129 games), Chicago (20 games): The veteran Minor Leaguer set a new Iowa Cubs record with 38 homers, capturing the Pacific Coast League MVP award. LaHair led all Cubs Minor Leaguers with 109 RBIs and established new career highs in average (.331) and OPS (1.070) and home runs. He added two more longballs in his September promotion to the Majors.
Second base -- D.J. LeMahieu, Tennessee (50 games), Iowa (58 games), Chicago (37 games): Making his Double-A debut, LeMahieu hit well enough there that the Cubs promoted him to the big league team when Jeff Baker went on the disabled list on May 30. The 22-year-old infielder played sparingly with the Cubs, batting .250 in 60 at-bats. He was sent to Triple-A Iowa and finished the season with a composite .319 average, sixth in the organization.
"He was the most consistent of our hitters day in and day out," said Harper, a career .295 batter in 1,001 Major League games. "D.J.'s got a big upside. I think he's going to develop some power as he gets older. He's a real solid hitter, a .300 hitter."
Shortstop -- Junior Lake, Daytona (49 games), Tennessee (67 games): The 21-year-old shortstop brought a nice blend of speed and power to the Daytona and Tennessee lineups, slugging 12 homers while leading Cubs Minor Leaguers with 38 stolen bases. Lake finished the season with a .279 average, scoring 80 runs in 116 games.
"Junior has all the talent in the world. He's got power, he's got speed, he's got a great arm and great range," Harper said. "You look at him some games and you'll be amazed at the things he can do. He adds some excitement to the team, that's for sure."
Third base -- Gioskar Amaya, AZL Cubs (52 games): Amaya made a name for himself in his stateside debut, leading the Cubs organization with a .377 batting average. The 19-year-old saw time at second base and shortstop as well as third base and was an Arizona League All-Star, tying for third in the circuit with eight triples.
Rebel Ridling, Tennessee (125 games): Ridling, who also spent time at first base, slugged a career-high 20 homers and earned Southern League All-Star honors. The former 25th-round pick tied for eighth in the organization with a .309 average and was second on the Smokies with 80 RBIs.
"Rebel did a lot for us, he really carried us in August," Harper said. "His No. 1 position is first base, but he can fill in the outfield. He made some really good adjustments toward the end of the year and was hitting as good as anyone at the time."
Brett Jackson, Tennessee (67 games), Iowa (48 games): Jackson, the Cubs' top prospect, enjoyed a 20-20 season while splitting time between the Southern League and the Pacific Coast League. The former first-rounder finished the season with 84 runs, 73 stolen bases and 211 total bases, but really opened Harper's eyes with his intangibles.
"The thing that I was most impressed with was his intensity and the way he played," he said. "He ran out ground balls back to the mound. It was nice to see a young talented kid play so hard. That was my biggest thing, I was pleased the most with how hard he played every day. His talent is real obvious, he has all the talent in the world."
Michael Burgess, Daytona (122 games): Burgess, acquired from the Nationals last winter for Tom Gorzelanny, showed the power that made him a Carolina League All-Star in 2010. After a sluggish first half, the 22-year-old Florida native batted .263 and posted an OPS .150 points higher than before the All-Star break, finishing with 20 homers.
Utility -- Richard Jones, Peoria (123 games): Jones more than tripled his previous career high with 24 homers and batted .309 for the Chiefs. The 2009 ninth-rounder was second only to LaHair in homers and RBIs (98) among Cubs Minor Leaguers. The first baseman's season really took off after the All-Star break as he batted .331 with 13 homers in 67 games.
Right-handed starting pitcher -- Nicholas Struck, Dayton (10 games), Tennessee (six games), Iowa (12 games): The Cubs' 39th-round pick in 2009 went through three levels in 2011, ending the season in Triple-A. He finished tied for second in the organization with nine wins, was fourth with 111 strikeouts and sixth with a 3.91 ERA.
"Nick impressed me with his aggressiveness," Harper said. "He's an athletic kid who loves to play the game, he just wants to have fun. There was no fear when he came up to Double-A, and I saw the same thing when he went to Triple-A. He's got a good sinking fastball -- his change-up and slider are developing. Once he tightens those up a little more, he's going to be ready for the big leagues."
Left-handed starting pitcher -- Eric Jokisch, Peoria (25 games), Tennessee (three games): Despite starting the year in the Chiefs' bullpen, Jokisch led Cubs Minor League hurlers with 10 wins and was second with a 3.09 ERA. The former 11th-rounder was also second with 118 strikeouts in 134 innings and earned a late-season promotion to the Southern League.
"He just came from Low A and wasn't scared at all," Harper said. "He pitched inside well, he had a good change-up, he did everything a young pitcher needs to do to succeed. I believe he shut down Chattanooga towards the end of the year, and I was very impressed with his ability. He came to Double-A, and it was like it was no big deal."
Relief pitcher -- Frank Batista, Daytona (51 games): Batista led the organization with 26 saves and held Florida State League batters to a .226 average, earning All-Star honors in the process. The 22-year-old right-hander finished 5-3 with a 2.36 ERA and struck out 46 batters in 61 innings for the Cubs.

Post subject: What EU vehicles would you like to see Lego release?
I gotta admit, I'm a big fan of the Star Wars Expanded Universe. I actually got sucked into Star Wars by the Shadows of the Empire multimedia project in '96. And ever since Lego Star Wars started, I've wondered when/if Lego will make official EU sets. It's been nearly 10 years, and we've gotten a TIE/D Fighter and TIE Crawler, both from the Dark Empire comics, as well as all the Clone Wars stuff lately, and the Rogue Shadow. However, the comics, books, and video games from before this Clone Wars project saw many great ship designs that I would like to see in official Lego form. Here's a few ships I would like to see, and why:
Z-95 Headhunter - We've seen the X-Wing released three times now. I think predecessor the that iconic ship would do quite well at retail, instead of another X-Wing redesign, simply because it looks like a ship that is recognizable to the mainstream. Plus, it could probably be done cheaper than an X-Wing, perhaps $30-$40. Top it off with a Mara Jade and maybe a Talon Karrde minifig.
TIE Defender - This set was rumored last year, and I think it's gold mine waiting to happen. It's bigger and bulkier than the other TIEs, and if done properly, would have undeniable swoosh factor. This would be another $30-$40 set, and just flat out looks great.
AT-PT - I know you could almost call the first AT-ST set an AT-PT, but I just want to see this walker because I love the leg design. Plus, it would be a great way to possibly get a Grand Admiral Thrawn minifig (Hey, I can dream). If not, then this could make a good battle pack. $10 is just right for this one.
Coralskipper - It's lumpy, it's purple(ish), and it would be the perfect excuse for a Yuuzhan Vong Minifig. It would probably be a $40 set if done right. I really liked the New Jedi Order, and this ship is that series's most iconic vessel.
Outrider - The Star Destroyer's alternate build would be beyond awesome if Lego really committed to it. Add in a Dash, Leebo, and maybe a Bothan minifig and you're set. This would be a big one, though. I'd say $90-$100.
Virago - Another SOTE set, this one's design is very unique, and I think it would catch a lot of kids' attentions.I think this set could work at $20, but it may have to be bumped to $30 to get the proper detail. This would also be a great place to get a Xizor and Guri Minifig.
Ebon Hawk - If Lego can make Rogue Shadow, then they can definitely make this KotOR icon. This set would have to be $90-$100 done right, and it has to include Revan, Bastila, HK-47, T3-M4, and Malak, at least. There are a LOT of KotOR fans out there that would pounce on this opportunity.
Manta Droid Subfighter - This one screams $10 battle pack. I think Lego missed the boat when the Clone Wars mini-cartoons came out. There were a couple money designs that they could have taken advantage of, and I think this one tops that list. Lego has since made the V-19 Torrent and the IG Speeder Bike, but a Manta Droid with SCUBA Troopers would be a hot seller still, I think.
V-Wing Airspeeder - If Lego gets the itch to make another snowspeeder, they should table the idea and make this instead. For a similar $20 price tag, we could get a new airspeeder with the same swoosh factor. I remember flying around in one of these on one of the Rogue Squadron N64 games and just loving it.
Chiss Clawcraft, K-Wing, Skipray Blastboat - Ever since I saw the MOCs posted in the Customs page, I've wanted to see Lego make these ships. The Chiss Craft would be a solid $20 set. The K-wing would probably be best at $50, and the Skipray would probably be good at $70, but detailed best at $90-$100.
Got any other suggestions? Let us hear 'em!

I know there are other threads out there that cover this same sort of subject, but dangit, this one is verbose, well written, and thought-out, so it may live...
Two come to my mind, as I should be preparing to go to work... the E-Wing and the Stealth-X. The EU is a wonderful excuse for some creative building and great minifigs, and a Jedi ship and the main republic fighter are no exception.

I would say the Outrider because it's one of the only EU vehicles I know. I would also like Anakin's blue CW Jedi Starfighter.

We have also gotten the Imperial Landing Craft and T-16, which might as well be EU because they get a lot more attention outside the movies. Not to mention the recent Clone Wars sets, which thanks to the new series have become canon (I guess?) like the TX-130 and V-19. That has really helped get some awesome CW stuff released.
Wow, all my favorite EU ships have already been covered. Outrider, Anakin's custom JSF, Tie Defender, AT-PT, Virago, Ebon Hawk, and the real V-Wing are all ships I'd like to have.
Adding to the list, I'd go for a Sith fighter from KOTOR, along with the Hammerhead-class cruiser, G-type light shuttle, or S-250 Chela-class starfighter (though most are

It's tough to make EU sets and sell them as a mass produced Lego set. Many people have never heard of the ships you listed above. Unless the ships have been shown on TV (V-19) or are part of a recent video game promotion (Rouge Shadow), it won't sell more than a few thousand units.
So that narrows the list by quite a bit.
Sets that I'd like to see produced include Anakin's blue jedi starfighter, Assajj Ventres' sail fighter, and the Octupara droid.
However, there is no reason Lego couldn't do a Lego Factory exclusive of the more famous comic or video game sets (like the recent space sets: star justice and space skulls). But since I'm not much of an EU fan, the only ships I know are the ones you've listed above along with some of the MOCs done by the members here. Special orders would be the only way Lego could make money off a small volume set. So expect higher price tags for what you want.

Anything where a Thrawn Minifig is included.
BTW, there was already a kind of Outrider - the alternate build of the Minifig ISD. Lego even offered instructions to download.

I honestly would go for (from the New Clone Wars) that super awesome podhunter/landing ship/boarding ship with droid commandos. Also, I would enjoy something like a TIE stealth, E-Wing, Real V-wing and at last, The Moldy Crow, with Kyle Katarn and Wee gee. Think I am done.
Oh yeah, Outrider, Tie mauler, a Super Star Destroyer, and... yeah.
Anything above is either a) Sarcastic or b) idiotic.

Actually, the T-19 isn't technically EU, only the pilot is. The T-19 appears, ever so briefly, when Luke is in his room on Tat... except it's a model he's swooshing it around. Same with the landing craft, though it was added in the Special Edition, and given just about as much screen time.
And I think the whole thing with the TIE Crawler would defeat the "move too few of units" argument. It was a high demand set, despite not being seen anywhere except a fan's nightmare...

Personally I'd like to see some more stuff from The Force Unleashed series. There's so much you can expand upon from it. The Rogue Shadow was a decent set but the minifigs was why I bought it. Perhaps we could get some set that takes place inside the death star or something- but then we already get that with the $400 set.
Victory? Victory, you say? Master Obi-Wan, not victory. The shroud of the dark side has fallen. Begun, the Clone War has

There are so many EU ships I would love to see made, the few I would absolutely pay money for have already been mentioned.
The Ebon Hawk, make it big, make it strong, give it an interior, give it the whole crowd Revan, Bastilla, T3, HK, Carth, Jolee, et all.
Maybe a Sith Fighter with a Mandalorian and possibly Malak.
The Moldy Crow, it'd be the best with Kyle, Jan and maybe Mara Jade.
A Gunboat would be fantastic.
The Outrider, and anything else from SOTE.
The Otana would be interesting, but I'm not sure TLC could pull it off as well as other sets.
Z95 would be an instant buy, I love that ship.
And I'm sure a few others that haven't instantly sprung to mind.

The Ebon Hawk would be a great set. As others have said, including as many KotoR figures as possible would be mandatory.
The Sith Fighters with Sith troopers would be good as the odds of army builder sets for the Old Republic era are pretty slim I would imagine.
A Basilisk War Droid with Mandalorians (and maybe Canderous) would be nice as well.
If you're talking sets in general, a set featuring the Krayt Dragon cave and the bounty hunter you encounter in KotoR would make a great set.
The cloakable Tie Phantom could be an interesting design and likely not as expensive as the Tie Defender. There are a long list of possible Tie varients that would make interesting sets.
The T3-B Heavy Attack Tank would make a nice rebel ground vehicle. It would give us a tracked vehicle so that not every vehicle is a hover vehicle. A heavy tank would also be a nice change of pace over transport speeders. Likewise the T4-B would be nice.

I've never been terribly impressed by the EU stuff, though I've only read a few of the novels. That said, a Z-95 would be pretty cool since that thing is so generally excepted as the forerunner to the X-Wing, it's practically canon. It's implied by several sources that Headhunters are still in use by pirates and ill-funded system defense forces even up to the Galactic Civil War, so there is a lot of potential there for imaginative play if LEGO and Lucasfilm spin it just right.
I did enjoy the KOTOR games, so an Ebon Hawk would be pretty cool as well.

On the topic of KOTOR sets, why not make bp from that strain? I could see the potential in some Republic and Sith soldiers duking it out--what armor is better than the Sith soldier armor? I challenge anyone to come up with a better outfit.

I'm glad I was able to start a topic that got people talking.
I would like to second whoever said they would like to see an E-Wing. I don't know how I missed that one. A few other honorable mentions:
Stinger (SOTE)
Scimitar Assault Bomber (Thrawn Trilogy)
XP-38 Landspeeder
Battle of Muunilinst (Obi-Wan and Clone Lancer Vs. Durge and IG Lancer)
Republic Carrier (Clone Wars Micro-Series)
Inferno (An excuse to get a Quinlan Vos minifig)
Predator Starfighter (Legacy)
Scarab Droid (Jedi Starfighter Video Game)
MT-AT (Jedi Academy Trilogy)
My mind is getting a bit too carried away with this...

The full-size Skyhopper does make a brief appearance in the Special Edition (maybe two, come to think of it). The first appearance is in the background when Luke is cleaning the droids; it's parked in the "garage" and the cockpit area is visible. The second is during the celebration montage at the end of Jedi- I believe (although I may be incorrect) that a skyhopper flies over a celebrating Mos Eisley.

One thing to consider here is the power of marketing over time. Sure, the canonical ships and vehicles have the most recognition (with the designs of the Falcon, TIE Fighter, X-Wing, and so on over 30 years old), but the various products released in the last 10-15 years have introduced a lot of new crafts to the public. Lines like Action Fleet and Micro Machines have given people- in mass markets- an introduction to vehicles that might not have breached the public consciousness otherwise.
With that in mind, these are the ones I'd like to see (and that have some level of pre-existing recognition):
E-Wing (appeared in comics, sourcebooks, and Action Fleet)
TIE Defender (appeared in comics, the CCG, Action Fleet, video games, and sourcebooks)
Outrider (appeared in books, comics, sourcebooks, video games, CCG, and in Special Edition)
Lars' Landspeeder (not EU, but not yet released)

We all need a good wrench to keep around the house, but we don't necessarily need a whole toolbox full of them. In this case, the Craftsman Figure Eight Wrench might be the magic solution.
Why? Because the piece of metal is eight different sizes in one, starting at 1/4 all the way up to 3/4 inch. Plus both ends are compatible with a bunch of different styles of fasteners. So on a day when you're doing some work around the house, whether you're fixing the sink or doing maintenance on your bike, you won't be wasting time rummaging around for wrench after wrench.
