Magic moments: Greenwich exhibition captures beauty of open-air art
For Stamford artist Karen Schmitz, art is something that can draw people in -- it can even inspire a lifelong passion.
As a child, she recalled gazing intently at a painting above her grandmother's mantle during the many visits to her house. Later, she learned it was a painting by landscape artist Emile A. Gruppe.
"This was the painting that as a child always plucked at my heartstrings and made me think I was going to be an artist," she said.
Schmitz began early, completing her first oil painting in grade school. Growing up, she lived many places, including Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas, but art remained a constant. By the time she was in high school, she was filling sketchbooks with scenes and studies. She went on to study art and psychology at California State College in Los Angeles before starting an interior design business in her early 20s on the East Coast.
"The landscape here captured my soul," she said. "I went from contemporary abstracts to landscapes."
Forty years later, Schmitz said that urge to create has yet to abate. One can look for her at dawn or just before dusk, when her eyes see the most interesting colors in the shadows and in the skies above -- a phenomenon she refers to as "nature's fireworks."
A former Greenwich resident, Schmitz is one of the artists featured in the exhibition, En Plein Air: Eight Artists Interpret the Landscape in Open Air. The show runs through Monday, Aug. 5, at the Drawing Room Gallery in the Cos Cob section of Greenwich.
Dressed in orange capris and a white blouse with orange polka dots, Schmitz looked cool and crisp even on a day when the temperature outside was more than 100 degrees. It was a good look for someone so smitten with color.
"Composition is important, but color is what really moves me," she said. "For me, it is always a fight to make the colors realistic."
Finding the right blend of hues to reflect a particular scene can be a challenge, Schmitz said, one of many artists face by working outdoors and on location. From the mundane (pesky flies), to the esoteric (the effect of time on the dynamics of light and color), the artists have to adjust to the constraints.
"Artists who paint outdoors have time limitations. They have to move quickly, they have to be spontaneous and they have to be decisive," said exhibition coordinator, curator and Karen Schmitz's daughter, Cameron. "You need to be an artist who has a certain kind of confidence ... one who is not overly controlling of the image and embraces that challenge to be fluid."
Such an instinctual approach often imbues the work with a freshness and spontaneity, said Cameron Schmitz, who grew up in Greenwich, but is now based in Massachusetts.
"There is a freshness to it," said Karen Schmitz of the open-air style. "In the studio, you can overwork a painting to death."
The show features the work of painters from around the country. Lorraine Lewin is the other Connecticut artist, hailing from Guilford; Emilie Lee is based in Brooklyn, N.Y.; Peter Batchelder is from Amherst, N.H.; Tim Conte lives in Philadelphia; Charles Newman is from Haddon Township, N.J.; Brian Rego is based in Columbia, S.C., and Hannah Sessions lives in Leicester, Vt.
"I really feel fortunate to have the opportunity to share really exceptional artists," said Cameron Schmitz, who is an artist herself. "It's always interesting for me to see the viewers in the gallery and see them drawn to different pieces."

Now that Patch 4.0.1 is on PTR, I get a lot of mails asking for a release date and I guess I can answer that without too much risk now.
Keep in mind that Blizzard didn't announce it because the release can still be postponed, but as far as I know the target release date for Cataclysm is the first week of November (that would be November 2, if you like numbers). The first part of the Cataclysm prologue started exactly 8 weeks before that and the next part of the pre-Cataclysm event will probably happen in 2 or 4 weeks depending on their schedule.
You got your answer, and hopefully people won't yell at me if something goes wrong.

The priority of a CGI program can be set using the nice parameter of the send-cgi function. This UNIX-only parameter accepts an increment that determines the CGI program's priority relative to the priority of the server process. Typically, the server is run with a nice value of 0. The nice increment can be between 0 and 19.
The CGI program runs at the same priority as the server
The CGI program runs at a much lower priority than the server
As with all other CGI variables, the nice value can be configured for each virtual server.
Do not increase the priority of the CGI program above that of the server by specifying a nice increment of -1.
For more information about send-cgi, see the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 3 Administrator's Configuration File Reference.
You can configure CGI variables for a virtual server either using the Admin Console or using the CLI. The following procedure describes the steps:
In the Admin Console, select the Common Tasks tab.
Select CGI Directories from the Virtual Server Tasks list.
The CGI Settings window is displayed.
Specify the nice value as desired.

Job Search / Re: Landman or lawyer at oil and gas firm question« on: September 27, 2008, 03:50:37 PM »
Keep in mind there are 2 types of Landmen, Inhouse and Field (Independent) Landmen and they do very different types of jobs. TO be an Inhouse Landman they usually look for an EM or PLM degree with JD as a bonus. For a Field Landman position you just need a degree usually to get hired and not even that if you have a lot of experience doing title work. Inhouse usually starts 65k and Field 50k with both making 6 figures after a few years. Field Landmen do the title work and leasing that keeps the oil & gas attorneys employed.

Update: Original post referred to the video as a "parody," but it could more accurately be called a parody of itself. It's an official release by Mumford & Sons, made by the band to mock the band.
Looking deceptively like any other Mumford and Sons video, a new clip full of sunlight, strumming, barns, suspenders and old timey chic has gone viral, rising to the top throughout social media.
But it's not Mumford and Sons. It's a lampooning at the drum-beating, vaguely Amish hands of Jason Bateman, Will Forte, Jason Sudeikis and Ed Helms.
The comedians fill in for the band in the video for "Hopeless Wanderer," which includes a host of gags that fit almost too well in the actual band's aesthetic: A whole lot of weeping, a little do-si-do-ing, and some banjo-plucking fingers so hot they're smoking—literally.

Seven suspended micro-houses — each one resulting from a different combination of three modules — delicately hover above the ground in the Portuguese eco-resort of Parque de Pedras Salgadas.
Portuguese architects Luís Rebelo de Andrade and Diogo Aguiar have recently completed the set of houses in the north of Portugal. The small dwellings are suspended on pillars, completely integrated within the surrounding nature.
Designed in a modular, prefabricated system with different combinations of the same three modules — entrance/bathing, living, sleeping for an extremely flexible solution, able to adapt to diverse spaces within the park, creating different morphologies and diverse dialogues with the surrounding nature.
Each of the houses features a large window framing a specific view of the park, bringing the surrounding nature inside, and linking the interior to a balcony and ideal resting space. Each dwelling's cladding evokes local, vernacular construction techniques...

Somehow, even as gay marriage flourishes and Glee remains popular, bisexuality remains the final frontier in sexual orientation acceptance: According to research announced at the American Public Health Association's 141st Annual Meeting & Exposition, 15 percent of the population still considers it bullshit (via Tampa Bay WSTP 10 News). The word "greedy" is also bandied about by people who don't know better. Sigh.
Heterosexual men were three times more likely than any other group to consider bisexuality a false sexual orientation — unsurprising, considering that this is the demographic who assumes that bisexual women are doing it for straight male attention. (Not that certain heterosexual women don't accuse bi girls of this too.)
In related news, 15 percent of Americans need to grow the hell up.

Industry minister sees worrisome 'trend' in oilsands
The federal government has reached "a level of discomfort" with foreign investment by state-owned enterprises in Canada's energy sector.
That's the message Canada's Industry Minister is emphasizing after giving the green light to two major takeover deals: a $15.1-billion bid for Nexen Inc. by a Chinese state oil company and a $5.2-billion bid by Malaysia's Petronas for Progress Energy.
In an interview Saturday on CBC Radio's The House, Christian Paradis told host Evan Solomon that the China National Offshore Oil Company (CNOOC) was able to show that its bid for Calgary's Nexen was likely of "net benefit" to Canada after the Chinese state-owned enterprise (SOE) made "significant undertakings" in areas of governance, transparency and disclosure.
However, Paradis said it was "important" for the federal government to send a "strong signal" that it would not accept foreign investment at any cost.
The industry minister said the Canadian government would not put the interests of foreign governments ahead of its own.
Paradis, noting a "growing trend," said SOEs have "triggered a level of discomfort," so the Canadian government will consider the acquisition of a Canadian oil-sands company by an SOE only in "exceptional circumstances."
The prime minister used similar language when he said, "in light of growing trends," the government had concluded that "foreign state control of oil sands development has reached the point at which further such foreign state control would not be of net benefit to Canada," during his announcement on Friday.
CBC News has learned that the unease in those "trends" comes from the fact that SOEs now have a 20-per-cent stake in Canada's natural resources. That's where the federal government appears to be drawing the line.
Paradis told Solomon the Canadian government "saw a trend" and "now I think we have reached a threshhold where we have to say we can not go further."
'Exceptional circumstances'
While the minister could not define them, these "exceptional circumstances" would only apply to takeover by SOEs in the oil sands. Different critera will apply to takeovers outside of the oilsands or takeovers by private firms.
When asked why the federal government would make this distinction around the oilsands but not other sectors of the Canadian economy, Paradis said "this is a good question here."
According to the industry minister, 60 per cent of Canada's proven oil reserves are not owned by SOEs.
"So we have to protect this," Paradis told Solomon adding "and of course after that we know that there is 15 major players there. So there is a level of concentration, plus the trend that we see. This is why we carve out the oil sands here talking about the exceptional basis."
The Opposition New Democrats have denounced the federal government's decision in both takeover deals.
In a separate interview Saturday on CBC Radio's The House, NDP Energy and Natural Resources critic Peter Julian called the decision "irresponsible."
"The government is trying to sugar coat what is a very bitter pill for Canadians to swallow," Julian told Solomon, adding that the government's foreign investment policy is no clearer today than it was before.
Liberal Natural Resources critic and leadership contender Marc Garneau also questioned the message in the government's decision and told Solomon he was calling on the Conservatives to define what "exceptional circumstances" means.
When asked what Canada got in return from China, Paradis said, "We sent a signal that we expect our companies will be treated equally. There is the rule of law here, there is an equitable basis among the companies investing here in Canada, and you know we say that we expect the same from China."
The federal government recently signed an investment treaty with China and while it was suppose to come into law since early November, International Trade Minister Ed Fast told Solomon that as of Friday, it had yet to be ratified by either side.

Managing Signaling Traffic a Must for LTE Operators
By: Mae Kowalke, TMCnet Contributor
The first wave of large-scale LTE rollouts have shown that LTE networks have significantly greater packet core signaling volume. This is partly due to the flatter, all-IP architecture of LTE where macro and micro cells are directly connected to the mobility management entity (MME), the dedicated control plane element in the evolved packet core. This is also because of the increased overall network use that comes with subscribers who have access to a faster network.
An MME can experience a sustained signaling load of more than 500-800 messages per user equipment (UE) during the normal peak busy hours and up to 1500 messages per user per hour under adverse conditions, according to a recent blog by David Nowoswiat and Gordon Milliken of Alcatel-Lucent, Managing LTE Core Network Signaling Traffic.
This is why it is incumbent that operators intelligently manage packet core signaling.

The look and feel of a UX component in the Integrated Content Review (ICR) solution can be customized to suit your business needs. You can choose to apply specific formatting and coloring styles, or even change the skin of the component.
The Asset Details pod of the solutions interface, for example, can be modified to change the way the asset attributes are displayed. In the existing layout, the Asset Details pod displays all the attributes in a single pane. You need to scroll through the pane when the attributes extend beyond the display area.
To minimize scrolling and for better accessibility, you can change the single pane format to use an accordion menu such that the system defined attributes and the custom attributes are displayed in two different panels. (This example assumes that a user is allowed to define any number of custom attributes for any asset at design time.)
To modify the Asset Details pod:
- Make a copy of the existing AssetDetailsPodSkin (CustomAssetDetailsPodSkin.mxml) skin and edit it.
- Modify the CSS (icr.css) to use the new skin.
- Specify the styling changes as part of the code for the skin itself, or update the CSS and apply it to the skin. For example, you can centre and underline the panel labels by associating a style with the accordion header.
Defining your style in the CSS:

Riverside, Calif. -
Sophomore goalkeeper Erik Stolhandske made his first start for the UC Santa Barbara men's soccer team on Friday, and the Gauchos made it easy for him.
Stolhandske, starting in place of Dan Kennedy who received a red card in Sunday's loss at Cal State Northridge, faced just five shots against UC Riverside, and led the Gauchos to a 4-0 victory.
The Gauchos got on the board at the 21:50 mark, when Gene Deering took a flick from freshman Drew McAthy, and blasted into the upper-right corner, making it 1-0. Freshman Nate Boyden made it 2-0 at the 25:41 mark, chipping home a volley from Neil Jones. The play was started by junior forward Rob Friend, who popped a pass to Jones, for an assist.
In the second half, the Gauchos continued the pressure. At the 55:53 mark, Jones scored on a penalty kick, giving UCSB a 3-0 advantage. Drew McAthy, the team's top midfielder, then closed out the scoring. At the 78:28 minute, McAthy went it alone, dribbling through the five Highlander defenders, and then hitting a lazer from 15-yards out, into the lower left corner of the goal, making it 4-0 UCSB.
Stolhandske made two saves in the victory, but was never tested in the second half, as the Gauchos outshot UC Riverside 18-1.
UCSB is now 7-4-1 overall, and 3-1-1 in Big West play. They are off the remainder of the weekend, and then they return home on Friday to host Cal State Northridge at 8:00 p.m.

Some data on education, religiosity, ideology, and science comprehension
No, this blog post is not a federally funded study. It's neither "federally funded" nor a "study"! Doesn't it bug you that our hard-earned tax dollars pay the salary of a federal bureaucrat too lazy to figure out simple facts like this?
Because the "asymmetry thesis" just won't leave me alone, I decided it would be sort of interesting to see what the relationship was between a "science comprehension" scale I've been developing and political outlooks.
The "science comprehension" measure is a composite of 11 items from the National Science Foundation's "Science Indicators" battery, the standard measure of "science literacy" used in public opinion studies (including comparative ones), plus 10 items from an extended version of the Cognitive Reflection Test, which is normally considered the best measure of the disposition to engage in conscious, effortful information processing ("System 2") as opposed to intuitive, heuristic processing ("System 1").
The items scale well together (α= 0.81) and can be understood to measure a disposition that combines substantive science knowledge with a disposition to use critical reasoning skills of the sort necessary to make valid inferences from observation. We used a version of a scale like this--one combining the NSF science literacy battery with numeracy--in our study of how science comprehension magnifies cultural polarization over climate change and nuclear power.
Although the scale is designed to (and does) measure a science-comprehension aptitude that doesn't reduce simply to level of education, one would expect it to correlate reasonably strongly with education and it does (r = 0.36, p < .01). The practical significance of the impact education makes to science comprehension so measured can be grasped pretty readily, I think, when the performance of those who have and who haven't graduated from college is graphically displayed in a pair of overlaid histograms:
The respondents, btw, consisted of a large, nationally representative sample of U.S. adults recruited to participate in a study of vaccine risk perceptions that was administered this summer (the data from that are coming soon!).
Both science literacy and CRT have been shown to correlate negatively with religiosity. And there is, in turns out, a modest negative correlation (r = -0.26, p < 0.01) between the composite science comprehension measure and a religiosity scale formed by aggregating church attendance, frequency of prayer, and self-reported "importance of God" in the respondents' lives.
I frankly don't think that that's a very big deal. There are plenty of highly religious folks who have a high science comprehension score, and plenty of secular ones who don't. When it comes to conflict over decision-relevant science, it is likely to be more instructive to consider how religiosity and science comprehension interact, something I've explored previously.
Now, what about politics?
Proponents of the "asymmetry thesis" tend to emphasize the existence of a negative correlation between conservative political outlooks and various self-report measures of cognitive style--ones that feature items such as "thinking is not my idea of fun" & "the notion of thinking abstractly is appealing to me."
These sorts of self-report measures predict vulnerability to one or another reasoning bias less powerfully than CRT and numeracy, and my sense is that they are falling out of favor in cognitive psychology.
In my paper, Ideology, Motivated Reasoning, and Cognitive Reflection, I found that the Cogntive Reflection Test did not meaningfully correlate with left-right political outlooks.
In this dataset, I found that there is a small correlation (r = -0.05, p = 0.03) between the science comprehension measure and a left-right political outlook measure, Conservrepub, which aggregates liberal-conservative ideology and party self-identification. The sign of the correlation indicates that science comprehension decreases as political outlooks move in the rightward direction--i.e., the more "liberal" and "Democrat," the more science comprehending.
Do you think this helps explain conflicts over climate change or other forms of decision-relevant science? I don't.
But if you do, then maybe you'll find this interesting. The dataset happened to have an item in it that asked respondents if they considered themselves "part of the Tea Party movement." Nineteen percent said yes.
It turns out that there is about as strong a correlation between scores on the science comprehension scale and identifying with the Tea Party as there is between scores on the science comprehension scale and Conservrepub.
Except that it has the opposite sign: that is, identifying with the Tea Party correlates positively (r = 0.05, p = 0.05) with scores on the science comprehension measure:
Again, the relationship is trivially small, and can't possibly be contributing in any way to the ferocious conflicts over decision-relevant science that we are experiencing.
I've got to confess, though, I found this result surprising. As I pushed the button to run the analysis on my computer, I fully expected I'd be shown a modest negative correlation between identifying with the Tea Party and science comprehension.
But then again, I don't know a single person who identifies with the Tea Party. All my impressions come from watching cable tv -- & I don't watch Fox News very often -- and reading the "paper" (New York Times daily, plus a variety of politics-focused internet sites like Huffington Post & Politico).
I'm a little embarrassed, but mainly I'm just glad that I no longer hold this particular mistaken view.
Of course, I still subscribe to my various political and moral assessments--all very negative-- of what I understand the "Tea Party movement" to stand for. I just no longer assume that the people who happen to hold those values are less likely than people who share my political outlooks to have acquired the sorts of knowledge and dispositions that a decent science comprehension scale measures.
I'll now be much less surprised, too, if it turns out that someone I meet at, say, the Museum of Science in Boston, or the Chabot Space and Science Museum in Oakland, or the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago is part of the 20% (geez-- I must know some of them) who would answer "yes" when asked if he or she identifies with the Tea Party. If the person is there, then it will almost certainly be the case that that he or she & I will agree on how cool the stuff is at the museum, even if we don't agree about many other matters of consequence.
Next time I collect data, too, I won't be surprised at all if the correlations between science comprehension and political ideology or identification with the Tea Party movement disappear or flip their signs. These effects are trivially small, & if I sample 2000+ people it's pretty likely any discrepancy I see will be "statistically significant"--which has precious little to do with "practically significant."
Yes, the tea party is just like everyone else -- which is to say, highly vulnerable to the reason-effacing consequences of our polluted science communication environment.

You can say what you want about Tim Tebow, and everyone sure does.
But he deserves better than this, deserves better than having to endure cowardly lions, the kings of least, inside the Rex Ryan Zoo, growling and clawing at him.
He deserves better than to have anonymous potshots taken at him by characters who have no character, deserves better than to have his pristine chapel overrun by a team that leads the league only in finger-pointing and dysfunction.
He should get the hell out, ask for a trade at the end of the Jets season, a 44th consecutive season without a Super Bowl, before he loses his sanity.
Be Fleebow.
When it comes to class, the Jets have reminded us once again that they sit in the back of the class.
Tebow sits in the front.
There are 31 other backup quarterbacks in the NFL, but it is this one, and only this one, who comes under attack from within. What a shame. Only Ryan believes that the inmates no longer run the asylum, that loose lips do not sink ships.
Pray for Tebow.
"I've had criticism somewhere my whole life playing football," Tebow said with a chuckle, "so you try to do your best at handling it, and understanding on one side, you just try to make it motivate you.
"But at the same time, it always has somewhat of an effect on you. You're human, and it's not always fun to have people saying negative things about you, but you try to be stronger from it, and it always has made me stronger in the past, and it will continue to make me stronger."
Nobody has ever, or will ever, compare Tebow to Joe Montana, or call him the left-handed Johnny Unitas.
If Ryan thought Tebow could hit the broad side of St. Patrick's Cathedral from 20 yards away with a football, he might have yanked Mark Sanchez by now. Tebow is the backup quarterback for a reason. The whole world — save for the legion of Tebowmaniacs who follow him religiously everywhere — recognizes as much.
Only because it is Tebow, and only because these are the Jets, do you get snipers aiming unfriendly fire at a backup quarterback. And at a time when the starting quarterback is playing like a backup quarterback. Of a staggering 3-6 team.
Pray for Tebow.
No anger from him. Plenty from me.
"Some frustration, and I guess some sadness," Tebow said. "It's never fun to hear criticism. But at the same time, it's something that I've always used as motivation, and you try to get stronger from it. That's how I approach it. I always find the good and the positive in every situation. And the positive is this, just go work a little bit harder and improve, and build better relationships with your teammates."
The cowardly Jet who called Tebow "terrible" in a published report? He refused to speak to the media Wednesday. This, after not accepting Ryan's challenge to stand up and identify himself. This, after being part of a defense Tebow singlehandedly humbled in crunch time a year ago in Denver.
"But I'm a Jet now, and I'm proud to be a Jet," Tebow said, "and it's an honor to be in this locker room with a lot of great guys."
They are the ones who should be honored to have him in their locker room. Because none of them, players or coaches, works as hard as he does to get better.
"Every single day when he hits the field, he works about as hard as anybody I've seen," Ryan said. "He stays longer than probably any player we have, working on those skills. … Everything we've asked him to do, he's done."
He puts on a happy face, never complains, views the world through a half-full glass. He can take the high road and joke with Matt Slauson, standup teammate, about his pro-Sanchez quote that was uttered so long ago that Slauson could not remember exactly when.
"I do think as a thrower, Tim has improved," Slauson said yesterday.
Tebow also can cut up over the turmoil with Ryan on the practice field.
"I absolutely wanted Tim here," Ryan said,
To protect the punter. To throw six passes. To rush 27 times. Tebow has been a gimmick. A publicity stunt. A bystander, a spectator to this spectacle. Mr. Irrelevant in New York.
"I think he's improving fundamentally," Ryan said.
But his actions speak louder than his words when he says: "We wanted to bring in a backup quarterback you could still win with."
There is no Tebow Time to be bitter.
"Bitterness only hurts you, it doesn't hurt anyone else," Tebow said. "Learned that from my dad. It's not in their heart, it's only in your heart."
He didn't deserve to be the starting quarterback. But the Jets don't deserve him.
"I'm thankful that I don't have to worry about tomorrow because I got a God who holds my future," Tebow said, "and I'm thankful for that."
Pray for Tebow.

For tea party challengers, running against establishment candidates doesn't just mean bucking the ideological status quo. It also often means shunning the institutional and organizational conventions that have propelled candidates to victory for decades.
Perhaps there is no better example of the price of engagement for these candidates than in Mississippi, where tea party challenger Chris McDaniel has not officially conceded his race and instead accused incumbent, six-term Sen. Thad Cochran of electoral foul play.
When McDaniel took the stage on the election night of June 24, vowing to fight on, he did not utter the usual refrains heard from candidates seeking to wage a war in court. There was no promise to file a complaint first thing the next morning, no suggestion of forthcoming injunctions, no real legal jargon of any kind in his remarks. Since then, McDaniel's campaign has not detailed its formal plans to contest the election, even though his campaign's website is still asking for donations and volunteers.
Chief among the disadvantages of running an insurgent campaign is that when it comes to contesting close elections, tea party-backed candidates lack access to an expensive network of legal defenders who can be leaned on for help — and may even be turned away by top election law attorneys with loyalties that lie elsewhere.
"Most people will want to sit out," said Republican lawyer Dan Backer, one of the few Beltway lawyers who represent conservative clients running against the party mainstream. "It's like in 'The Sopranos,' when Tony and Carmela are looking at getting a divorce and Tony calls all the divorce attorneys immediately to make sure she can't use them."
McDaniel's lack of resources and outside financial support is another significant obstacle to launching a formidable legal challenge. Before the competitive three-week runoff, McDaniel had a meager $60,000 in the bank to continue his statewide race. Most of the campaign on his behalf was conducted by outside groups, many of which have since his loss pulled out of the fight. On Wednesday, an outside conservative electoral group told Breitbart News it was filing suit against the secretary of state, but unlike establishment organizations, there typically is not a cohesive network or organized approach when outside groups press election controversies.
"There is a diametrical imbalance in the resources available to establishment candidates and conservative challengers," said Backer, who also represented Shaun McCutcheon, the lead plaintiff in this year's marquee campaign finance case. "The cost and burden of having the [necessary] level of legal talent on the ground in a primary is astounding."
The National Republican Senatorial Committee, for its part, has spent more than $170,000, on "legal consulting" from mostly D.C.-based firms in this election cycle to date, according to a review of its disclosures to the Federal Election Commission.
Backer noted that legal consultation is an "easy place to cut costs" for upstart primary candidates who buck even the most essential political activities such as call time with donors to fundraise. Most conservative challengers don't have the resources up front to adequately identify and catalog problems with votes as an election is happening, which puts politicians like McDaniel at a disadvantage. Backer pointed to a House race in Nevada, where a conservative candidate conceded a race he believed he lost because of voter fraud (nonconservatives have disputed this view) because of a lack of resources.
"You can't have poll watchers or rapid response — better legal and more legal might have created greater opportunity to identify mechanical error or fraud," Backer said.
But perhaps the most echoed refrain from the half-dozen election lawyers approached for this piece was that there is a strong financial incentive for lawyers at big firms to avoid contact with challengers so long as the party organizations remain stable, well-paying clients.
"If you're a lawyer that does a lot of work with one of the party committees, you probably wouldn't take on a challenge to an incumbent," said Elliot Berke, a political law lawyer at Berke Farah and who had previously served in several legal roles on Capitol Hill.
Most lawyers conceded that this tension was created mostly by the financial interests of various firms and not from direct pressure from national groups like the NRSC, National Republican Congressional Committee or Republican National Committee. They were quick to point out that lawyers face a different set of standards, even in the political arena, from other political consultants — and that everyone's right to a lawyer should, in theory, allow legal professionals to represent both establishment and conservative candidates in different races, so long as there are no conflicts of interest.
But there have been warning shots about what will happen to political businesses that go against the party. The NRSC, for example, very publicly fired one of its ad makers, Jamestown Associates, in November 2013 for also having the tea party-backed Senate Conservatives Fund on its client list.
Chris Ashby, a lawyer who has had RNC and NRSC contracts but also worked this cycle with Matt Bevin, the challenger to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Bryan Smith, who challenged an Idaho House incumbent, said he has never felt pressured by national groups.
"I have friends in the counsels offices at the national party committees, I talk with them from time to time, and no one has ever threatened or otherwise made an issue out of my work for Bevin or Smith, and if I've been 'blacklisted,' I'm certainly not aware of it," Ashby wrote in an e-mail. "When I signed up with Bevin and Smith, I was aware of the aggressive position that the NRSC in particular had taken with one of its media vendors, but I think the issue plays out differently when it comes to lawyers."
Backer, who defends conservative clients, said the real issue was not explicit pressure from the groups, but that the financial realities of retaining legal counsel do not favor the clients he represents: "We're free-market people — the establishment has most of the lawyers, because they have most of the money and they pay fees I couldn't even think of asking."
Joseph Birkenstock, a Democratic election lawyer, agreed that supporting anti-establishment candidates is "not as much of an ethical problem as a business problem."
He also pointed to the client perspective, suggesting that conservative challengers don't want to be bound to the establishment and therefore bound to the practices of previous candidates, like retaining counsel.
"Some of the insurgent groups, and I've seen this on the progressive side, too, they are running against the entirety of what they see as the establishment. A lot of people as they approach it like, 'We're here to burn Rome,' I think their view might be, 'Fine that's how you guys did it in the past, but we're coming at it with a different strategy,'" he said.
Somewhat surprisingly, this is a point on which Republicans and Democrats agree. Berke, the Republican lawyer, worried that if and when conservative candidates do retain counsel, their view that their candidacies should be unconventional and grass-roots might disadvantage them in a court of law.
Running a tea party campaign on the trail might work. On trial? Maybe not so much.
"When it comes down to it, an electorate might be attracted to an unconventional candidate, but I think you're going to have a very hard time finding a judge who is attracted to an unconventional approach to interpreting the law. That's probably not going to happen," Berke said.
Washington-based lawyers working disputed election results cases rely on in-state lawyers to help them execute a strategy, as legal counsel needs to have passed the bar in the state where they are staging a challenge.
In the case of McDaniel, this makes his road even tougher, as many people across Mississippi, particularly in legal and political circles, have some attachment to Cochran, who has served nearly 36 years in the Senate. Friends or friends of friends aren't going to want to take up arms against the incumbent, especially in what has already been a bruising and deeply personal race.
The McDaniel campaign declined to comment on the candidate's legal representation.

Home > Criminal Defense Issues > Restoration
The consequences of conviction – specific legal barriers, generalized discrimination, and social stigma – have become more numerous and severe, more public, and more permanent. The legal mechanisms relied on in the past to restore rights and status – pardons, expungements, certificates of good conduct -- have atrophied or become ineffective, with the result that a significant percentage of the American public is permanently consigned to second class citizenship.
NACDL is proud to have several projects aimed at examining the collateral consequences of these convictions. The goal is to provide policy recommendations and laud existing best practices that jurisdictions can engage in to effectively decrease the economic, political, and social stigmas associated with a criminal conviction.
On August 23–25, 2018, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) hosted its 17th Annual State Criminal Justice Network (SCJN) Conference and 2nd Annual Presidential Summit in Atlanta, Georgia — Shattering the Shackles of Collateral Consequences: Exploring Moral Principles and Economic Innovations to Restore Rights and Opportunity. On June 4, 2019, NACDL released its report on and videos of the conference.
On Thursday May 29, 2014, NACDL launched Collateral Damage America's Failure to Forgive or Forget in the War on Crime - A Roadmap to Restore Rights and Status After Arrest or Conviction.
Over 100 people attended the report launch. Poignant testimony was provided by Lamont Carey, a business owner and individual with a conviction; several policy analysts; former Governor Robert Ehrlich; former Congressman J.C. Watts; and former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik who also has a conviction on his record. The speaker bios are available here and the agenda is available here. The video webcasting of the event is available here.
To view the report, transcripts, and information about the project click here.
As a part of this report and its rollout, the Task Force would like to include stories from individuals who have lost their rights as a result of a plea or a guilty verdict. The Task Force encourages those affected by collateral consequences of a conviction to complete the survey. To learn more, visit http://www.nacdl.org/restorationsurvey/.
"The country was built on the belief that each human being has limitless potential and worth. Everybody matters. We believe that even those who have struggled with a dark past can find brighter days ahead. One way we act on that belief is by helping former prisoners who've paid for their crimes -- we help them build new lives as productive members of our society."
-- Former President, George W. Bush

A survey of Old Testament introduction
Moody Press, 1974 - Religion - 528 pages
The New Testament Scriptures will never be properly understood by a person if the Old Testament Scriptures essentially remain a mystery to him, ' says Paul Benware.Most Christians do not have a clear understanding of the pattern, unity, or progression of the Old Testament. They can tell stories of Moses, Noah, and David but aren't sure how all these events fit together. And they don't fully appreciate the doctrines found in the thirty-nine books between Genesis and Malachi.But the Old Testament does not have to be mysterious or confusing. Newly revised, Dr. Benware offers a chronological approach to give you a bird's-eye view of the historic value of the Old Testament, while his book-by-book analysis reveals important details and emphases.If you want a better understanding of the whole Bible, Survey of the Old Testament is the place to start.

Wayne Rooney has spoken of the hurt the squad is feeling after England exited at the World Cup group stage for the first time since 1958.
The Three Lions' elimination was confirmed on Friday after Costa Rica surprisingly beat Group D favourites Italy in Recife.
The result means England have nothing but pride to play for when they take on Los Ticos in Belo Horizonte on Tuesday, with the team jetting home straight after the game.
"Obviously we are hurting," Rooney said. "We are really disappointed to be out of the tournament.
"I am sure you can imagine it is quite tough and will be a long few days for us, but we have to pick ourselves up for this game on Tuesday.
"We will go out there fighting, show our pride. But overall we are disappointed and you know it is not a great feeling to go out of the tournament after two games so we want to try and restore some of our pride back."
Rooney says his first World Cup goal against Uruguay was no consolation - "this team is much bigger than Wayne Rooney is" - and is determined as ever to succeed.
"I am really proud to play for my country," he said. "I never want to pull out of squads, I always turn up and play for England when I am called upon.
"I have no desire whatsoever to stop doing that unless I am told to. I will play for England until I am not selected."
Joe Hart sat alongside Rooney at the press conference in Rio de Janeiro, with the England goalkeeper calling on his team-mates to lift the supporters who travelled more than 5,000 miles to South America for the tournament by beating Costa Rica on Tuesday.
"Going out is hard to take," England's number one said. "I suppose it is the lowest point of my career. This is really cruel, it's gutting.
"It's an empty feeling right now, but we have a game to get something out of this trip.
"We owe it to the amazing fans who have travelled to support us and we owe it to ourselves as proud Englishmen."
Always a struggle
England had never before lost their opening two World Cup matches and Rooney believes they were always going to struggle after losing in Manaus.
"You can't lose your first game at a World Cup," he said. "It's really tough to recover from.
"If we hadn't won it maybe we would still be in. That's the biggest lesson."
The Manchester United striker is confident England will recover from the early exit.
"The three best young players in the Premier League are Ross Barkley, Luke Shaw and Raheem Sterling," Rooney said.
"They have had outstanding seasons, they have progressed so quickly and they have made the step up to international level. That is something to be excited about.
"And hopefully there will be more coming through."
Like Hart after the Uruguay defeat, Rooney threw his support behind under-fire manager Roy Hodgson.
"Well, he has put a great enthusiasm in the team, a great set of young players, exciting players in place," he said.
"Make no doubt about it, Roy is the man to take us forward. We appreciate what he has done for us.
"He has, in my opinion, changed the way we have played over the last couple of years and I know the results have been disappointing in the last two games, but as a team we can feel we are getting better.
"I feel with the young lads in the squad, this will help them and hopefully in the future this will make us a better team."
The likes of Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard are expected to quit international football after this tournament, with the latter's retirement leaving the captaincy free.
Asked how he would react if offered the armband, Rooney said: "Steven is our captain and until anything changes I can't really answer the question.
"Steven is a fantastic player, a fantastic leader and he has been for many years and we respect him 100 per cent. He is a great leader for us."

Nuri Sahin Finally Makes Real Debut
By Parvez Fatteh, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, email@example.com
Turkish midfielder Nuri Sahin finally took a bow with his new soccer team Real Madrid this past weekend as part of their 7-1 blowout of fellow Spanish club Osasuna. His debut was delayed by a knee injury, after having signed with the club this past summer from Borussia Dortmund. He admitted to being nervous prior to his debut, but he received a warm welcome from the crowd as he was introduced as a second-half substitute.
Sahin, who was a key figure in Dortmund's Bundesliga title success last season, told the club's website: "It's been a great day for me. I wish to thank everyone at the Santiago Bernabeu, my team-mates, the manager and the president. I must now work hard to be able to help the team.
"I'm very happy for playing my first game with Real Madrid. It's been difficult being injured. I was a little nervous before coming on because it was my first match before the fans. I felt confident and happy after a couple of minutes. We must continue to work hard because we will face difficult games after the league break.â€
Real extended their lead at the top of the Primera Division of Spain's La Liga to three points after their blowout victory, coupled with rival Barcelona's 2-2 draw at Athletic Bilbao later in the day.
It was a big day for another Muslim footballer on Real Madrid as well, as French striker Karim Benzema scored twice. Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo added a hat trick. The one negative note was the injury sustained by Angel Di Maria. The Argentina winger was forced off with what the club described as a hamstring injury, having set up all three of Real's first-half goals.

Forum Post: Northern Colorado succession
Posted 6 years ago on July 15, 2013, 7:33 a.m. EST by highlander29
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
I am extremely interested in the outcome of Northern Colorado's attempt at becoming the 51st state. They are wishing to succeed because of the government of Colorado's attempts at gun control and green initiatives that will sap the economy of Northern Colorado. They see the truth. Compromise will not work. There is no reconciliation. The decision, therefore, must be to go their separate ways. The same argument can apply to the United States. The red and blue demarcation of the US during the 2012 election is about as clear as you can get. It appears, unless some miraculous event takes place, that the path of the United States is succession. Let the South succeed again. The North should keep their noses out of it, and let the two countries engage in free trade.

Attention all Tennis Players!
I'm forming tennis groups for the Spring Season.
Group Goals:
1. Get 4+ beginner players! (Complete newcomers accepted!)
2. Get 4+ Intermediate to Advanced players!
The Plan:
1. Group practice/learning session for 30-60 minutes.
2. Then Matches, doubles or singles.
I'll do my best to keep the groups by level depending on who shows up. I'll also be happy to help anyone learn or improve (even if you are brand new!).
I'll bring a hopper of balls for practice.
This is for adults, but college kids are of course accepted!
Believe it or not, this is completely free!!! Not too good to be true!
Pittsburgh has a lot of public courts available, 13 courts at Schenley Park (my preference), 8 courts at Highland Park, and others as well.
Depends on the group response.
I can play: 7-10am M-Su
4-11pm Tu, Th – Sun
I do have a job on Weekdays normal hours, its just flexible. J
Personally I'm a 4.5 level player, 24 yrs old, with 4 yrs Division III college experience.
Forming tennis groups is an excuse to get out of the office and meet people.
While I'd never turn down a competitive match, my goal is not really competition for myself, but just forming a fun group to foster tennis in Pittsburgh.
Bottom Line:
Email me with interest and further details!
We can start when you are ready!

This is so cool.
Hi Bill, Unfortunately I am in New Mexico. I am an Admin of Tennisopolis and just stopped in to say that this looked like a good plan. Did it materialize last spring?
Hey Bill, are you going to form these groups again this spring? Sounds like a great plan, would love to join up. Thanks!
Hi Bill,
My name is Dan Craig. I am 34 in two weeks. I have a few hitting partners, but I would love to hit with someone new. My buddies play a lot of hockey, so they can't hit sometimes. Like today! I am a solid 4.0, maybe 4.5 from baseline, my serve stinks. I love hitting, doing hitting drills, or playing a game to 10. I can serve too, just a work in progress. I have been playing with good technique for about 10 years. Give me a call today if you aren't already hitting.

SNOQUALMIE, Wash. -- Mike Goodes shot an 8-under 64 on Friday for a one-stroke lead in the Boeing Classic.
Goodes, 57, got off to a fast start with an eagle on the first hole, knocking it in from a bunker. He then had six birdies in the first round of the Champions Tour stop at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge.
Goodes, who maintained his amateur status until joining the Champions Tour in 2007, is looking for his second career win to go with the 2009 Allianz Championship. The last time he led any round in any tournament was the 2013 Insperity Open in Houston.
"I'm dying to win," Goodes said. "That doesn't necessary mean you will but I'd love to win again. It would mean a lot."
In the previous nine Boeing tournaments, no first-round leader has gone on to win the title.
Mark Brooks was all alone in second after a 65. The 1996 PGA champion shot a 6-under 30 on the back nine, one short of the course and tournament record of 29 set by Scott Simpson in 2006.
"When you do it as long as I have ... you deserve occasionally to have a nine like that," said Brooks, who won seven times on the PGA Tour but not since his PGA title.
Mark O'Meara, Gene Sauers, Scott Hoch, Mark McNulty and Jeff Sluman are at 6 under.
Five players shot a 67, including Mark Calcavecchia. He shot a 5-under 31 on the front nine, matching the course record done 20 times, including by Calcavecchia in the opening round last year.
Goodes did not want to play on the PGA Tour. He ran a successful business and preferred to remain an amateur. He was convinced by his business partner and his wife to try the 50-over circuit in 2007. For his first two seasons, 2007 and 2008, he got into tournaments through the arduous Monday qualifying.
"I came really close to not doing it because I wasn't sure it made sense for me to lose my amateur status to go chase Monday qualifiers," he said. "But it's been great."
He has won more than $3.5 million on the Champions Tour with 20 top-10 finishes in 165 career starts.
"The money's great but I love competing, like most people, and to be able to compete against Fred Couples and Bernhard Langer and Fred Funk and Mark O'Meara, sometimes you beat on them and most of the time you lose to them, but to compete with them is living the dream," Goodes said.
Langer, who has won three of the past five tournaments and is well ahead in the Charles Schwab Cup standings, shot a 2-under 70 and is tied for 22nd. It ended his streak of rounds in the 60s at 10 straight. His bogey on No. 2 also ended his bogey-free streak at 66 consecutive holes.
Couples, a local favorite, finished at 1-under 71. Defending champion John Riegger shot a 73.
One of the more interesting pairings featured three players who have shot a 59 in a PGA Tour-sanctioned event. Kevin Sutherland, the first Champions Tour player to shoot a 59 last week in the second round of the Dick's Sporting Goods Open, joined Paul Goydos and Chip Beck. Those two are among the six to do it in a PGA event.
Beck had the best round of the threesome with a 70.

"It's often very difficult to wrap a contoured surface, like a mirror or motorcycle tank, without wrinkles or fingering on the edges. One possible way to eliminate this is to pre-stretch before you wrap. Heat and stretch a piece of vinyl about 4 times the size of the mirror (or gas tank). Once it cools, then shrink wrap the pre-stretched, now larger sized, piece of vinyl onto the surface. The excess vinyl will absorb a lot of the tension and give you a nice wrinkle free installation."
Which type of heat gun should you use? A torch or an electric heat gun? Some venues that you wrap at will simply not allow torches because of the flame. Most wrappers who prefer electric heat guns like the wider penetration of the heat and the ability to control the temperature for longer periods such as during post heat. Some also consider electric heat guns safer than torches. Those wrappers who prefer torches, stress the portability (no cords) and the ability to have more precise control of the heat. Torches also cool down quicker therefore preventing accidental burning of your vinyl wrap if it touches your heat tool. So, which should you buy? You will probably end up having both in your wrap tool chest.
"Whether you use a torch or a heat gun on your wraps, heat is an important part of any wrap. Heat can be used to make pressure sensitive vinyl conformable around curves, rivets, and other irregular surfaces. Post heat is also a critical step when doing vehicle wraps to help "set" the vinyl. Direct heat should especially be applied to areas where the vinyl has been stretched. Slowly move the heat source across these areas until the Mastercool Infrared Temperature Gun reads no more than 200 degrees Fahrenheit (most manufacturers recommend not heating vinyl beyond 200 degrees), then move the heat source approximately one inch every two to three seconds. This technique relaxes the stress on the vinyl caused by stretching, which will help prevent lifting and tenting. Finally, heat is often used to remove a wrap, especially in cold environments. Heat allows the vinyl to come off faster and improves the ability to remove the adhesive with the vinyl instead of leaving adhesive on the surface which would require even more labor to remove."
WARNING: Do not use heat sources near gas tanks or flammable substance

The NPD Group's monthly US retail report has been released, showing overall growth for a third consecutive month thanks to the performances of the latest Grand Theft Auto and Pokemon titles.
Total spend for October hit $791.1m, an increase of 5 per cent year-on year. The positive results is largely due to a 10 per cent YOY increase in the software category, which worked out to be $495.1m of the period's total amount earned.
NPD indicated that GTA V and its near 1.1m sales had some impact on the positive results, but the handheld sector and Pokemon X & Y were given the lion-share of the credit for the increases.
Hardware saw an 8 per cent decline to $171.m, though portable systems actually saw an increase for the first time since early last year.
The 3DS ended up on top of the category for the sixth month in a row, while Xbox 360 retook the top console spot back from PS3 following last month's dethroning.
Accessories hardly moved from their finish in 2012, showing a one per cent increase between the two periods. That's almost entirely due to the massive spike in sales the category saw last year on the back of the Skylanders franchise.
To sum up, it was a good month for the industry and more good times are likely ahead with the next-gen console launches entering the equation beginning next month.
Growth in video game software sales over the last few months has reversed negative year-to-date trends caused by declines seen earlier in the year with video game software sales currently flat to last year," NPD Group's Liam Callahan said.
With the launch of the PS4 and Xbox One, we hope to see positive trends over November and December which would lead to an increase in software sales for the year."
Here's your top software products across all platforms:
- Grand Theft Auto 5 (PS3, Xbox 360)
- Pokmon X (3DS)
- Pokmon Y (3DS)
- Battlefield 4 (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
- Batman: Arkham Origins (PC, PS3, Wii U, Xbox 360)
- Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag (PS3, Wii U, Xbox 360)
- NBA 2K14 (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
- Skylanders Swap Force (3DS, PS3, Wii, Wii U, Xbox 360)
- Lego Marvel Super Heroes (3DS, PC, PS3, Vita, Wii U, Xbox 360)
- WWE 2K14 (PS3, Xbox 360)

How the Residency works.
Adobe Creative Residents receive access to the best creative tools and resources, along with guidance from advisors and a compensation package. In return, residents proactively pursue their own personal creative projects while sharing their processes, insights and inspirations with the community along the way.
The Adobe Creative Residency:
Programme details and how to apply.
Everyone has a dream project, but few people have the time and resources to pursue it. That's why we created the residency. Our mission is simple: to support creative individuals in the early stages of their careers and foster a culture of creating and sharing.
Programme details
How the residency works
The Adobe Creative Residency is a structured programme designed to help you quickly reach your goals as a creative professional. Your focused residency project is the vehicle that takes you from where you are now to where you want to be in your creative career.
Throughout the year, you'll proactively make inspiring and innovative work, try new tools and workflows, refine your process and engage with others to share your progress, discoveries and outcomes. You'll also attend events, speak at conferences and collaborate with other leaders in your field.
"This year gave me confidence in my creative abilities and my future in the design world. I was always pushed to think big, to try new stuff and to embrace and face my fears – and this really unleashed my creativity! I made lots of new contacts in the design scene and am still benefiting from this year."
— Rosa Kammermeier, 2017 Creative Resident
The benefits of being a Creative Resident
- Full salary and health benefits
- An entire year to focus on a personal creative project
- Adobe support and expertise to help you to realise your project
- Access to Adobe Creative Cloud
- Access to hardware as needed for the duration of your residency
- Opportunities to meet and receive guidance from leading creatives
- Access to creative events including Adobe MAX and 99U
- Increased exposure and recognition in the creative community
"I've really enjoyed being challenged. Often when you work on something that's successful, the client will ask you to do that same thing repeatedly until it's not popular any more. There are times when you feel really frustrated with that because you get locked into the same style of shooting or illustrating or designing or whatever it is. But the Creative Residency gives you the ability to show the range of your skills, because the client is really yourself."
— Aundre Larrow, 2017 Creative Resident
How to apply
Please read the following application guidelines to be sure you have the best possible chance of success:
1. Before you apply, consider the following aspects of the programme:
- Career experience. We're looking for applicants who are early in their creative careers, though we do consider applicants who are switching from one creative field to another or from non-design careers. Applicants should have at least a few years of education, training and/or experience in the field of their proposed projects.
- Travel requirements. Residents travel up to 25% of the year for Creative Jams, Adobe MAX, 99U and other conferences. Residents work with the programme coordinator to determine which trips are most beneficial for their projects and travel is spread out over the year.
- Full-time commitment. If, during the residency year (May-April), you'd be working another job, taking a long holiday or fulfilling any other commitment that would prevent you from investing yourself full-time in the residency, you are not eligible to be a resident. If you're a graduating student, you're eligible only if your tests and coursework are complete by the end of May.
- Work ownership and licensing. Residents retain ownership of all the work they create during the residency, but they grant Adobe a licence to use that work in promotional materials, at events and in other venues. Adobe partners with residents to ensure the integrity of their work wherever it's used.
2. Take time gathering your application materials.
In the application, we ask for a project proposal. This is a project that helps you to get from where you are into the field that you're interested in working full-time after the residency.
We'll be looking at your project proposal with your past work samples to determine whether they're a good match for the programme. Be prepared to answer the following kinds of questions in your application:
- What is your project and how will it help you to build toward a career doing this type of work full-time after the residency?
- How will this project build off of work you've been doing?
- How will you share your project and process with the creative community?
- What will others learn from your project?
- What digital or analogue tools will you use?
- How will mobile apps be integrated into your workflow?
- What will your creative process be from beginning to end?
- What will your monthly schedule look like?
Please only submit one project proposal. Even if you have several clever ones, we just want your best.
Check out our sample application form here and read our application insider tips on Create Magazine.
3. Carefully select the past projects you want to share with us.
You'll need to share three past projects along with links to your online portfolio and/or Behance page. Research the best portfolio styles by checking out Behance projects from some of our past and current residents, including Anna Daviscourt and Rosa Kammermeier. Watch current resident Aaron Bernstein's video on his residency project.
4. Provide budget details for your proposed residency project.
Include costs related to your project alone. You don't need to include salary details or travel or living expenses.
Being an Adobe Brand Ambassador
Creative Residents are full-time employees of Adobe for the duration of their residency year. As an Adobe employee, you'll be a brand ambassador who's expected to collaborate with Adobe marketing and product teams, corporate partners, your local and national creative communities, your fellow residents and the Adobe leadership team.

Nintendo Gambles on Gamepads
Jun 5, 2012 2:18 PM PT
While rivals at Sony and Microsoft have long looked to create encompassing living room entertainment devices, Nintendo once again looked to what it does best -- namely to provide an immersive gaming experience. At its Tuesday press conference at E3 in Los Angeles, the company suggested that it could once again make an industry game-changing move.
Rather than building on the Nintendo Wii, which was the first video game console to emphasize motion control, Nintendo instead plans to change the human relationship to games with Wii U -- and to develop a system that is not actually dependent on the TV.
"We decided that our next system would have its own dedicated screen, even if it had to be small," said Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo's head of development and the company's driving visionary. "This is Wii U. It will change the way you watch TV in the living room."
Nintendo has had a mixed track record predicting how gamers will respond to revolutionary changes. While the Wii was a surprise hit, it is still not clear if the large gamepad will be embraced.
"It is interesting to see how people will use the gamepad," said George T. Chronis, editor-in-chief of DFC Dossier from research firm DFC Intelligence. "I'm surprised too that Nintendo didn't introduce a role-playing game that could really utilize the screen."
Small Screen in a Big Controller
The Wii U's controller was previewed on Tuesday, with an emphasis on how gamers can start playing on the TV and transfer the gameplay directly to the controller's 5-inch screen.
"It manufactures new experiences," said Reggie Fils Aime, president and CEO of Nintendo America. "Understanding this is vital."
At its core, the Wii U gamepad can change gaming, noted Fils Aime -- how gamers interact with friends and how users enjoy the TV.
"It stands to revolutionize your TV," he promised.
The system will support two separate gamepads, which are built around the display. The controller offers standard buttons, analog sticks, d-pad and triggers, but also features motion control via a gyroscope and "rumble" tactical feedback, as well as a built-in camera and microphone to allow the pad to be a communication device for games.
Competing With Mobile
Nintendo also demonstrated several upcoming titles for its Nintendo 3DS handheld system, which clearly emphasized a fan favorite franchise. The titles included "Super Mario Bros. 3," "Paper Mario Sticker Star" and "Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon."
This move was not surprising, given that Nintendo, which had long dominated handheld gaming, has seen the market eroded by mobile phones and tablets.
"This is a transition era for consoles, including handhelds," Chronis told TechNewsWorld. "It is a different audience than it was just five years ago. iOS and Android have captured the market."
Casual vs. Core Gamers
Nintendo played a different card from rivals Microsoft and Sony, which seemed to emphasize hardcore games at their respective press conferences on Monday. Instead, while Nintendo still offered action-focused titles such as "Batman: Arkham City" from WB Interactive and "ZombiU" from Ubisoft, most of the first-party Nintendo titles were more friendly fare.
This move could pay off, as it is still about attracting the masses, and games such as "Pikmin 3" from Miyomoto, "Lego City" and the franchise all-star mini-game focused "NintendoLand."
"It is refreshing that there was not so much of a focus on violence," said Victor Lucas, host of the syndicated video game show Electric Playground. "This is really accessible fun."
Yet the lack of information on the system's availability -- likely this holiday -- and pricing left Lucas wanting more.
Likewise, with third-party titles coming only from WB Interactive and Ubisoft, Lucas told TechNewsWorld that the system seems to be way behind in its development cycle.
"This is really underwhelming at this point," he said. "It appears that there still a learning curve on the development side."

(13/P60) TRENTON –In time for the summer boating and tourism season, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has launched a new online tool to help boaters protect ecologically sensitive areas in the Barnegat Bay watershed, as well as locate points of interest and available services, such as waste pump-out stations.
"The DEP developed this online tool, which can be accessed on mobile devices and computers, as part of Governor Christie's 10-point plan to restore and protect Barnegat Bay," said DEP Commissioner Bob Martin. "We hope that it becomes an invaluable resource as boaters come back to the Bay during this first boating season since Superstorm Sandy."
A key part of Governor Christie's 10-point bay restoration plan calls for reducing impacts of boats and personal watercraft on Barnegat Bay's sensitive ecosystems, including wetlands, aquatic vegetation, shellfish beds and fish habitats.
By going to www.nj.gov/dep/barnegatbay/plan-watercraft.htm, boaters can access an interactive map that provides a birds-eye view of sensitive areas in the watershed.
Users can zoom into specific areas and find detailed maps showing ecologically sensitive areas. By moving their cursor over the maps, users can also find helpful services such as marinas, sewage pump-out facilities, bait-and-tackle shops, launches and ramps, restrooms, and places to dispose trash. The site also provides links to helpful information such as tips on green boating practices and the New Jersey Clean Marina program.
The tool can be used on mobile phones, laptops, tablets and personal computers. A downloadable app for mobile phones is currently not available.
Following the launch of the Christie Administration's 10-point plan in December 2010, the DEP met with a wide range of stakeholders, including recreational boaters, boating associations, manufacturers, marina owners, municipal leaders, scientists, and others to identify strategies and actions that would reduce the impacts of improper boating and personal water craft use on Bay ecology.
The resulting strategy became the identification of 16 ecologically sensitive areas in Barnegat Bay. Ecologically sensitive areas are shallow areas where submerged aquatic vegetation and wildlife are found. These places provide shelter and feeding grounds for fish, crabs, birds and other animals.
Barnegat Bay has been the focus of very successful DEP-led watershed-wide cleanup efforts, called the Barnegat Bay Blitz, key to the 10-point plan's goal of enhancing public stewardship. The most recent blitz on May 10 had a post-Sandy cleanup and restoration focus. More than 5,500 volunteers took part, collecting more than 1,000 bags of trash, filling 31 dumpsters and 21 trucks, pulling nearly 200 tires, and collecting nearly 450 bags of recyclables.

advice on nail holes3/9
What works for you when filling small nail holes in molding finished with pre-cat colored lacquer on the job site. I will be installing some cabinets soon that i finished in the shop but i will also be adding a crown molding and some other molding with 16 and 18 gauge nails. What is a good way to fill and touch up the nail holes.
Soft wax from Fastcap
I have the soft wax kit but theirs no way I'm going to be able to get a dead on match. I think i read in a past forum message to cover the molding with blue tape then shot through the tape. Fill the hole and sand with the tape still in place to protect the wood from scratching. Pull the tape and touch up with an artist brush. Does that sound right to anybody? Still looking for other ideas.
in the 20 years ive been finishing and installing cabinetry ive never had a problem using Mohawk Wax sticks.
Kevin i looked at the wax sticks by Mohawk and it states that they can be top coated with any finish including lacquer. Is that what you were getting at; fill with wax stick and then cover with the lacquer top coat? Eliminating the sanding process all together. I know i don't have the skill to blend the colors to match the lacquer. Thanks
yes, exactly. What i usually do is just rub some wax stick in the nail holes and that will be just fine. But if for some reason there is a sheen difference, or for whatever reason it is an eyesore, a quick shot with a can of Mohawk's aerosol lacquer in a matching sheen will take care of it.
sorry i just reread your original post... you are talking about filling colored lacquer. Well, in that case, there are so many colors available by mohawk that its a good possibility that they have one that is close enough to not notice. However, they dont have many greys. So when i have a job that uses grey lacquer, i usually just have a couple cans of the lacquer put into aerosol cans for me from my sherwin williams dealer. You get like 1 aerosol can from every 4 ounces of paint.
I have made custom colors with both the soft wax and the Mohawk sticks . Just put some different color pieces on some tinfoil, heat from the underside with a heat gun and mix and play till
Mohawk Fil-Stik.
Just get it over with and buy them all. Solves a lot of problems with color matching.
Pretty small heads. Where are they.?
Leo. thats what i did. Theres a ton of them! i have 4 of the large blister packs full. Probably close to 300 colors.
I bought all they had at the time, I think they've got more color now. Some of the pre-cat clears, Markers, some of the polishes, some graining markers, Blendal sticks. A general touch up kit for most occasions.
Went to Harbor Freight and picked up a nice case for cheap. Fits everything in it and most of it is able to be pulled out without moving other stuff around.
I have more stuff then shown in the upper picture now. Ya buy stuff...you know....
Now that Leonardo has his kit, he's the only cabinetmaker that gets excited when he dings a cabinet. Knowing he can use his true talents to save the day.
I certainly don't get excited when I ding a cabinet. It's just nice to be able to fill holes and things without having to fret. One of the best purchases for the finishing aspect of my shop.
I use it more in the sprayroom then in the field. Fill small checks and opens in paint, use a marker or a Blendal stick on a stain that get sanded a bit to much on an outside corner. Just makes life that much easier when you have a small boo boo.
I use to have a tough time repairing a burnt through edge, sometime the fix made it worse. Now, it grab the color, apply it and move on. Couple of seconds.
Worth every penny.
