Shocking Revelation: It Isn't The Phone That's Dangerous; It's The Driver
from the crash-and-burn dept
That's why we'll point out a new study done by MIT researchers which has found, yet again, that people who regularly use cell phones while driving also exhibit other risky driving behaviors, even when no phone is present. If nothing else, the method for this study is interesting:
The study involved 108 people, equally divided into three age groups: 20s, 40s, and 60s. For each person, the researchers correlated answers on a questionnaire with data collected from on-board sensors during a 40-minute test drive up Interstate 93 north of Boston. The drivers commanded a black Volvo SUV tricked out with an eye tracker, heart and skin monitors, video cameras facing out the front and back windows, on-board sensors, and other research gear.No phones were allowed to be used during the study obviously, and yet researchers found some interesting correlations with the people who admitted regularly talking on their phones while driving: they were more likely to drive faster, to spend more time in the left hand lane, to brake harder, and to change lanes more often. None of these are as drastic as, say, upending the SUV and falling over the rail off a cliff and landing in fiery fashion on a school bus filled with nuns, but the changes do suggest an increased likelihood of danger.
"These are not 'oh-my-god' differences," says study leader Bryan Reimer, a human factors engineer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge. "They are subtle clues indicative of more aggressive driving." What's more, he says, other studies have linked these behaviors to an increased rate of crashes. "It's clear [from the scientific literature] that cell phones in and of themselves impair the ability to manage the demands of driving," Reimer says. But "the fundamental problem may be the behavior of the individuals willing to pick up the technology."In other words, crappy drivers are crappy drivers. If they aren't chattering away on their phones, they'll be singing Carly Rae Jepson with their eyes closed, or putting on their deodorant, or reaching into the backseat for that bag of Cheetohs they left there last weekend. But do we ban cheese snacks in cars? Do we outlaw Old Spice-ing while driving? Should pop music be banned in the car (resist...temptation...to say...yes...)? Of course not, particularly when these studies continue to show that distractable drivers will find another way to run us all over.
At least if they have their cell phone out, it'll be that much easier to dial 911 when they make us roadkill.

Mark Bittman – White Fillet a Dozen Ways – NYTimes.com
Mark Bittman – White Fillet a Dozen Ways – NYTimes.com.
"If you're serious about eating sustainable fish, you may have given up on the most fundamental of all: the white fillet. After nearly exhausting cod stocks 20 years ago, we have gone through a dozen or more alternatives, from red snapper to orange roughy to so-called Chilean sea bass, and fished them all practically out of existence.
Now it seems difficult to know which fish are managed well enough to eat without guilt. (As it happens, cod, of all things, isn't bad right now, as long as it isn't caught by a trawler.) But if you buy from a reliable store, like Target, Wegmans or Whole Foods, which have adopted seafood-sustainability practices far more effectively than many other major retailers, or consult online sources like the Monterey Bay Aquarium, you can eat white-fleshed fish without guilt.
The next problem is that you may wind up buying a fish with which you're unfamiliar. Is it cod, catfish, sea bass, halibut, grouper, tilefish, haddock, some form of snapper — or what?
The good news is that it barely makes any difference. You can cook any white fillet the same way you cook any other white fillet: broiled, sautéed, roasted or poached, and teamed with just about any seasoning you can think of, from the obvious, likeand capers, to the semiexotic, like sugar and fish sauce. (In this recipe chart, I'm assuming you'll always use salt and pepper.) And this isn't just me giving you permission or a barely acceptable compromise. It works.
The chart on the following page provides ideas for cooking 1½ pounds of white fillet, whether whole or cut into individual portions. None of these recipes take more than half an hour from start to finish; thicker pieces of fish will cook in 15 minutes or less, thinner pieces in under 10. You can tell that any fillet is done when it's opaque and a thin-bladed knife meets little resistance when you use it to poke the thickest part of the fish.
Cooking white fish is easy. The hard part — besides figuring out what's sustainable — is choosing the recipe."

The Rochester Institute of Technology Observatory will hold an open house during the Geminid meteor shower this month.
The RIT Observatory invites the public from 7:30 to 10 p.m. Dec. 13 to its facility at 645 John St., near the intersection with Bailey Road.
"This night marks the peak of the Geminid meteor shower," says Michael Richmond, professor in RIT's School of Physics and Astronomy and director of the RIT Observatory. "The best viewing will occur after midnight, but we may see five to 10 meteors each hour even in the early evening.
"Our telescopes will focus on Jupiter and its moons, but we will also watch the fast-moving asteroid Toutatis as it zips through the sky, faster than a speeding bullet."
Poor weather could postpone the event until Saturday, Dec. 15. Check the observatory webpage for status updates at www.rit.edu/cos/observatory.

New England Law Boston
February 04, 2012, 02:22:21 AM »
I was recently accepted to NESL and need to know more about this school. I am really worried about the whole job placement scene after graduating because it is surrounded by biggies like Harvard, BU etc.
My lsat score sucks but my GPA is good.
I am a finishing my Law degree in India so I will be a lawyer before coming to USA. I have a professional. work experience of 1 year.
I am still waiting to hear from many other universities. Hamline has put me on waitlist.
anyway, I need to know how is the grading scale of this school and how difficult can it be to be in top 10% of the class. Mostly importantly, if you are in top 10% how is your job prospectus ? In my case, I am just hoping for some international firm being interested me as I already have one law degree from a top Indian University but don't know if it really gives me an extra edge over other American graduates who will be passing out with me and especially looking at the current legal scenario of USA.
Is there anyone out there who is actually working currently after passing out from this school? do you get internships in summers while studying at this school?
You can also reply if you are a current student or know anything about this school whatsoever. Thanks!

I do know one guy from New England law who is a really good attorney. As far as being in the top 10% that is difficult to do at any school and there is a 90% chance you won't be in the top 10%. Nothing against you, but just the reality of the situation. People from any ABA school find internships/externships while in school, but getting an associate position after graduation is the difficult part, but people do it. Law school is no guarantee of anything and New England will be in competition with Harvard, Boston U, Boston College, and many other top schools from around the country, because many people want to live in Boston. I am sure New England law has worked out for many people and has not worked out for many others.

this attorney you referred to, was he a recent graduate ?

I read that third tier reality blog, don't know up to what extent it is true but its kinda scary!

He graduated five years ago class of 2007. Third tier reality/jd underground etc are not sites you should pay attention to. If people sit around and complain on an internet website all day that is likely the reason they are struggling. New England is not Harvard or anywhere close to it, but you can succeed from any ABA school although success is subjective. If you are expecting to be a Federal Clerk or First year associate at Covington, White & Case, etc then don't go to New England or anything less than a top 25 maybe top 50 school. If you could be a City Attorney, D.A, P.D, Family Lawyer, Small/Mid Size Civil Litigation, Research Attorney, etc then New England can work out fine.
You also mention it is far away. Why not go to school in a location closer to you? The most important thing when choosing a school outside of the T14 is usually location. A

Oh I mentioned earlier I guess that I am an international applicant and I stay in India.
Advantage for me is I am a lawyer in India almost ( 2 months go)
and I don't mind a small job to begin with because eventually the experience is counted and that will open up many great opportunities in the future.
Indian legal market is pretty much the same but the firms hire their own kids to their firm so even though I am from a top law school here, if I stay back even I'd be in a small firm or something. Anyway I want to come and study JD so I am focusing on that now.
How difficult would it be to find a paralegal's job or basically a corporate job because I am sort of planning to get a job and shift to the part time but I know its very difficult and everything, I am still gonna try.
what are the average salaries of city attorney or a family lawyers you mentioned earlier?

City Attorney's vary I would say starting in a big city like SF, NY you would get 60k or so and then get a few thousand dollar raises year by year. I know in NY City Attorney at 5 years you make 79k a year at least that is what it was a few years ago.
Family Law you can make a lot or a little, just depends on how many normal financially able clients you are able to attract.
As for the family thing you mentioned it is not much different in America. Most people have family, friends, or friends of friends they would prefer to hire than a stranger. That is just the way the world works, but plenty of people succeed, and plenty do not. Good luck to you.

If you want to work in MA in family law, small non-profs, or western/central MA, then NESL may be an option. If you want to work in Boston, you're going to face a steep uphill battle.
In the Boston area, you have:
Boston College
Boston University
Suffolk University
Northeastern University
New England School of Law
UMass Dartmouth (as of 2010) - though on the south shore, I imagine its grads would also look for work in Boston.
Those are just the MA law schools. Nevermind that many people may have attended UG in the area and may have gone on to high tiered schools but want to come back to Boston. Boston is a hard market to break into, if you don't have any ties to the area. Someone who went to Harvard, MIT or Wellesley and then went to an out of state Tier 1 law school, would probably be more competitive in the Boston area for firm jobs than someone who is only here to attend NESL. It sounds elitist but that's the profession.
If you have a comfy job in India, I'd stay there as a lawyer. A lot of work is being outsourced to India, and the market is probably better there for it.

I looked into New England Law, I don't think its a great choice. It is extremely expensive in combination with Boston's high COL, you are in competition with all of those non four tier schools, unless you are getting a significant amount of money from them, I wouldn't go there. On top of everything else they are about to get sued for lying about their after post graduation employment stats:
Did you apply to CUNY? You sound like a great candidate for them considering you are already an attorney in India. If not they extended their application deadline to April 15th so you have a few days to get it together for them.
Good luck!

This week (June 22-28) is National Pollinator Week, and what better time to celebrate the honey bee than now?
The White House Victory Garden, planted the first day of spring on part of the South Lawn, now has thousands of new residents: honey bees (Apis mellifera).
The two bee hives are a joy to see. America's First Family has First Hives in its First Garden with First Bees that will soon provide First Honey. The "commander-in-chef" will add First Honey to the White House favorite recipes.
Frankly, the South Lawn has never looked so good. The Rose Garden, where many a press conference takes place, pales in comparison. The Victory Garden is a victory for sustainable agriculture, nutrition, education, the economy and the environment--not to mention the incredible feeling of accomplishment and the surpassed taste of freshly picked vegetables.
UC Davis' counterpart to a Victory Garden is the Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven, a half-acre bee friendly garden to be planted this fall near the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Faciity. A Sausalito team submitted the winning design. The haven is expected to be dedicated in October. Honey bees will find a year-around food source, while visitors (the two-legged kind) will be able to savor the garden and glean new ideas for their own gardens.
Almond, apple, black elderberry, California buckwheat, California honeysuckle, coyote brush, lavender, Oregon grape, persimmon, plum, sage, tower of jewels...A veritable bee smorgasbord.
It will be National Pollinator Week every week and the honey bee will be the Poster Child every day.
That's the least we can do for the most important of all insects.

Blazers hope to strike gold again in draft
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Portland Trail Blazers hope to strike gold for a second consecutive year during Thursday night's draft.
A year ago, Portland used the No. 6 pick to select Weber State guard Damian Lillard, who became the NBA's Rookie of the Year. The Blazers pick at No. 10 this year.
What Blazers management has thought about this year's draft in recent weeks is anyone's guess. Portland general manager Neil Olshey and coach Terry Stotts haven't spoken to the media since the team's first individual draft workouts in late May. But Olshey has often said the team's preference is to take the best available player over need.
The Blazers' needs include a defensive-oriented post player and depth. During a season in which Portland went 33-49, starters LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicolas Batum and Lillard ranked among the NBA's top 10 in minutes played because of a thin bench.
Though some have tabbed this year's draft as weak to average, the Blazers believe there are players available who can improve their roster.
"If your basketball staff is good, where we're going to be picking, you should be able to find a pretty good player," Blazers owner Paul Allen told reporters in April.
In preparing for the draft, the Blazers brought about 60 players to their practice facility for workouts. Among players expected to be high on Portland's list for the No. 10 pick are guards C.J. McCollum of Lehigh and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope of Georgia, forward Shabazz Muhammad of UCLA and center Cody Zeller of Indiana and Steven Adams of Pittsburgh.
Olshey, who became Portland's general manager three weeks before the 2012 draft, has a mixed recent draft history.
Olshey hit a home run last year with the selection of Lillard, and as the Los Angeles Clippers' GM, he grabbed all-star forward Blake Griffin with the No. 1 pick in 2009. But with the Clippers' No. 8 pick in 2010, Olshey selected Al-Farouq Aminu, who was traded a year later to New Orleans. In 2011, the Clippers included their first-round pick in a trade with Cleveland, which became the No. 1 overall selection.
This is the second time in Portland franchise history that it has picked at No. 10.
In 1980, the Blazers selected Ron Lester at No. 10, then swapped the pick to Chicago. The No. 10 slot has yielded several prominent players in recent years, including Indiana's Paul George (2010), Milwaukee's Brandon Jennings (2009) and Brooklyn's Brook Lopez (2008).
In the second round, Portland has its own selection at No. 40. In addition, the Blazers have the No. 39 pick, acquired during a 2011 draft-day swap from Minnesota, as well as No. 45, obtained from Boston during a three-way trade in 2012.

You don't have to spend big bucks to hunt out of state for big bucks.
Lots of us dream of harvesting that one big buck before our hunting days are over — and usually that dream goes unfulfilled. Why? Simply put, most whitetail hunters don't live where a majority of the big bucks do. Sure, an occasional local tags a monster, but he's the exception, not the rule. If you want odds anything above hell freezing over for taking a record-book whitetail, you have to hunt where they live.
Of course, the two biggest reasons everybody doesn't just pack up and head to the Midwest or Canada are time and money, or a lack thereof. Hunting out of state typically requires lots of both.
If you have the means to hunt with a good outfitter, it can be an experience to cherish for the rest of your life. If you're part of the majority of hunters who simply can't invest a couple grand or more in a deer hunt, however, you can still travel to big-buck country and up your odds of tagging a monster.
Joel Maxfield, vice president of marketing for Mathews Archery, has hunted whitetails with outfitters and on his own. Maxfield has proven that you don't need stacks of money to tag a big buck.
"Hunters who are serious about tagging a mature whitetail don't need much money," he said. "They just need to be willing to travel. West of the Mississippi River, the chances of tagging a large buck increase dramatically. There isn't as much hunting pressure, and bucks often reach four or five years of age."
Maxfield does plenty of research from home. "I typically buy topo maps or aerial photographs from the states I want to hunt," he said. "Then I head to the hunting area a few days before I plan to hunt and begin scouting. I hunt private and public land and have been very successful on both."
Maxfield arrowed four mature bucks in 2009, and most of them didn't cost anything more than the tag, fuel and lodging.
Three of Maxfield's favorite states are North Dakota, South Dakota and Kansas. "Getting tags in these states is easy, so if I find a great hunting spot, I can return there every year," he said.
When scouting, he often knocks on farmers' doors and asks for permission. "Farmers west of the Mississippi are different from most folks. They don't mind granting permission to hunt. I get turned down occasionally, but most of the time I get permission to hunt. When farmers say 'No,' I go down the road and ask the next guy. One year a farmer who owned thousands of acres said I couldn't hunt. I found out that he doesn't allow anyone to hunt on his property. A farmer down the road gave me permission, so I ended up hunting next to this massive piece of ground that was off-limits to hunters. It was like hunting next to a state park."
Buying maps in rural states and putting lots of miles on his truck has helped put dozens of racks on Maxfield's wall. "I shot some of my greatest bucks on the first day of a hunt in a place I had never been before," he said. "Much of the farmland I get permission to hunt isn't difficult to scout. It's wide open ground with little cover. Locating deer in this type of terrain is much easier than it is in big woods in the East."
He said the first sit of a stand is often the best. "I believe low-budget hunters can be successful, because when I hunt a new stand, I'm probably the first guy hunting that area, and the bucks are clueless about the stand being there. When I hunt with an outfitter, chances are that every stand on the property has been hunted many times. Finding public or private ground that hasn't been hunted much is fairly easy and offers a better opportunity than hunting with an outfitter."
John Eberhart from Michigan is another hunter who is not afraid to travel. Eberhart has published several books on hunting pressured bucks. When he's in the mood for a low-cost hunt, he hunts public and private ground away from home. "A few years ago, I harvested a massive buck in Illinois on public ground in the late season," he said. "I had less than $1,000 invested in the hunt. Everyone believes if you're going to hunt in Illinois, you must go with an outfitter. That is not the case."
Eberhart has been on 14 self-guided, out-of-state whitetail hunts and has tagged 12 bucks. "I start my hunt months in advance by calling the states I plan to hunt and getting plat books for the area," he said. "Before I order the books, I look at topo maps and try to locate rivers and streams near farms. When the crops are cut, the bucks will be concentrated near the river's edge. That is where most of the cover is in many of the farm belt states. After the crops are harvested, the deer are forced into the watershed corridors, which is where I like to hunt.
When Eberhart finds the type of terrain he likes, he uses the plat book to determine who owns the property and begins making phone calls. "When I call to order the plat books, I often ask the person on the phone if they know anyone who might allow someone to hunt," he said. "A few years ago, a woman gave me the name of a farmer who let me hunt an 80-acre section of his farm in Missouri. I tagged a 160-inch buck on that property. Sometimes farmers say, 'No,' but they might tell me about some public ground nearby. Every tip helps."
Eberhart says his success depends on knowing when to hunt and when to stay home. "One of the main reasons I tag out is because I hunt at the right time. Timing is everything. If I go in the middle of October, crops will still be standing. If I go in December, finding the bucks will be harder. By going just before the rut in early or mid-November, I hunt a few days after the crops have been removed. That is when the big bucks are easiest to find, and since I have only a week to hunt, I need to find them right away.
Eberhart said many hunters hunt too early in the season, which results in tougher hunting and poorer results.
Eberhart says hunters from the South and East shouldn't judge all public ground on experiences in their home states. "In Michigan, most public ground gets over-hunted, and finding big bucks is difficult. In states like Missouri and Kansas, the public ground isn't over-hunted, and you can find big bucks that move in daylight."
Tom Johnson, another Michigan hunter, has a knack for tagging bucks with lots of bone on their heads, including several public-land bucks that carried more than 150 inches.
"I spend extensive time scouting and hanging trail cameras to locate bucks on public ground," he said. "Sometimes a well placed camera gives me the clues I need." Johnson said he takes three or more cameras and does what he calls speed scouting — running several cameras at the same time to cover as much ground as possible.
He has tagged big do-it-yourself bucks in Montana, Nebraska, Iowa and other states. "I love going to new areas and hanging a few cameras to find out what's there," he said. "Finding big bucks with a camera isn't hard; you just need to know how to read sign and locate deer. Out West, it isn't difficult. The deer travel in the little bit of cover there is. Hanging cameras in the cover near travel corridors between bedding areas and feeding areas is often the way to find them.
"I also hang cameras near a scrape or a rub if it's fresh," he continued. "Scouting, having time to hunt and hunting in places where there aren't many hunters has allowed me to tag lots of bucks on public ground."
Johnson is self-employed and said that having two weeks or more to hunt an area has helped. "Often I tag out as my hunt is ending. It can take me weeks to figure out an area, and I will move my stands several times to be in position to tag a big buck."
The hunters in this article have this in common: They aren't afraid to ask questions and knock on doors. "Locals have taught me more about an area than I could have ever learned on my own through years of hunting," Johnson said. "Many people still like helping hunters, and by asking the right questions, I find myself hunting in some amazing places where there are very few other hunters."
Johnson's biggest buck came off a piece of property he and a few friends leased in Indiana. "There are big bucks in Indiana, but I didn't think I would find the kind of buck I shot," Johnson said. "A few friends and I pitched in a few hundred dollars and hunted a farm in Indiana that didn't see much hunting pressure. After bow season ended, all of my friends went elsewhere to hunt. I decided to stay for the opening day of gun season, because the guy who oversaw the property told me that many deer get pushed there when the shooting starts."
Johnson and his friends had seen a few decent bucks, but no whoppers. "I wasn't expecting to kill a book buck, because we hadn't seen one like that on the property, and because it wasn't an enormous farm," he said. "I shot a buck that scored 2187/8, and I had less than $1,000 in the hunt."
If you have more elbow grease than money, you can tag a big buck. Like these three hunters, be prepared to put in some sweat equity.

sake education council's canadian advanced sake specialists, a photo by tangerinee on Flickr.
What a great night at Ki Restaurant, where the Canadian contingent of the Sake Education Council (SEC) met up in the same room for the first time ever. There is actually one more person on the list who was not present, although he doesn't live in Canada full-time, but Paul Tanguay, I did not forget you are a true red/white maple-leafed Canadian!
The sakes, paired with Ki's amazing food, were outstanding. Great educational component too, with Patrick Ellis, president of Blue Note Wine & Spirits, importer of great sake, and Koji Kawakami, 19th generation president of Yoshi no Gawa Brewery, making a jovial, entertaining sake duo.
Check out my photos of each course with pairing here.

SANTA CLARA — B.J. Daniels' NFL preseason debut at quarterback has forced the 49ers to alter their plans a bit.
The former South Florida star was impressive while directing the winning touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter of San Francisco's 15-13 victory at Kansas City on Friday night — the 49ers' only touchdown in two preseason games.
That performance has bought Daniels more time and a more serious look at quarterback after the team experimented with the seventh-round draft pick at other positions and on special teams during training camp this summer.
Coach Jim Harbaugh said Sunday that the backup snaps in practice this week behind starter Colin Kaepernick will be evenly distributed between Daniels and veterans Colt McCoy and Scott Tolzien, both of whom have struggled so far in the preseason.
Daniels stepped up when finally given an opportunity at quarterback late in the third quarter against the Chiefs. His only previous action had been a few snaps at wide receiver near the finish of San Francisco's opener against Denver on Aug. 8.
"Going into what he did the other night, it was very positive," Harbaugh said Sunday after the 49ers returned to practice. "It was an encouraging performance, and he's done some encouraging things in practice as well. So, he continues on his process and he competed well and made plays. And when somebody does a good job, you give them a little more."
The 49ers have yet to establish who will be Kaepernick's backup this year after the team traded veteran Alex Smith to Kansas City in March.
San Francisco acquired McCoy from the Cleveland Browns in April, then drafted Daniels later that month to join the competition with Tolzien, San Francisco's No. 3 quarterback behind Kaepernick and Smith the past two seasons.
McCoy and Tolzien received most of the backup snaps throughout training camp as the 49ers gave the versatile Daniels a look at receiver and running back, among other positions. Daniels finished his career at South Florida third in Big East history with 10,501 yards of total offense, including 2,068 yards rushing.
Neither McCoy nor Tolzien performed well in San Francisco's first two exhibitions. McCoy threw an interception in each game, completed just 46 percent of his passes and has a preseason passer rating of 25.3. Tolzien, who has thrown 21 more preseason passes than any other quarterback, has a passer rating of 57.0.
Daniels didn't follow that trend against the Chiefs. He displayed a strong arm and quick feet while leading the 49ers with 72 yards passing and rushing for 13 yards.
He also displayed poise in the pocket while guiding the 49ers 90 yards on 13 plays to the winning touchdown. Daniels completed all six of his passes during the drive, threading a perfect spiral to Chuck Jacobs in the corner of the end zone to cover the final 14 yards. That left Daniels with a 128.0 passer rating for the night.
"I'm growing every day," Daniels said. "I mean, I've been playing quarterback all my life. So that's what I've always considered myself to be. There was something that they saw that they liked, so really I'm just trying to continue and improve and get better."
Daniels has thrown himself into the mix for the backup role behind Kaepernick, who has played just two series during the preseason. Kaepernick has been a standout in practice throughout the summer, and the 49ers don't feel they need to see much from him until the real games begin.
It's a different situation behind him.
"Scott and Colt had been getting the same amount of reps (this summer), B.J. a little less than those two," Harbaugh said. "And this week, plan on evening it up across the board."
Daniels says he's not concerned with where his snaps come. Like most rookies, he's just trying to make the team. The 49ers will make their first roster cuts after Sunday's exhibition against Minnesota.
"I'm flying around the field and doing special teams and things like that, so it's not even something I'm really focused on," Daniels said. "I'm a competitor. As long as I can compete, whatever coaches ask me to do as a quarterback or any other position, I'm just going to try to master my techniques and fundamentals so I can be a good player and become a better quarterback."

For a public radio lover, having a Princeternship at New York Public Radio (NYPR) was like visiting heaven. NYPR is the public radio station that serves the metro New York area and consists of WNYC AM and FM (public radio news stations), WQXR (a classical music station), and WNJN (a set of NJ public radio stations that were recently bought by NYPR).
Ivan Zimmerman '80, General Counsel for WNYC, started the day off by giving me a tour of all three floors of the station's headquarters, from the cubicles to the radio archives. Knowing that I was interested in journalism, Ivan brought me into one of the recording studios, where I heard a familiar voice reading the news. It was Soterios Johnson recording "Morning Edition"! It was so surreal hearing a voice I have listened to nearly every morning embodied in a real person. Later, I even got to see Brian Lehrer host his show and watch as the producers performed all the behind- the-scenes magic, like screening callers.
Ivan also brought me to a news department meeting, where different editors, producers, and radio journalists updated each other on the stories that they were working on and brainstormed ideas for the upcoming weekend.
The majority of the day, however, was focused on the legal issues that NYPR faces. As Ivan is one of only two counsels for NYPR, he has to handle a diverse range of legal matters.
More than 50% of his work is dealing with contracts, Ivan told me. For example, in the afternoon, he had to read over a contract that dealt with maintenance work at the NYPR headquarters. Janna Freed, the other counsel, had to rewrite part of a contract that dealt with property rights of an artist who was going to perform on WNYC.
Another part of his job is related to underwriting. Underwriting, in the context of public radio, is the sponsorship of the radio station, and in exchange the station will mention that business or organization on the air in its programming. The tricky thing about underwriting is to make sure acknowledgements don't veer on advertising, which can threaten not only NYPR's tax-exempt status but can cause the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to revoke the station's licenses. Ivan's responsibility is to make sure NYPR's underwriters don't unintentionally make "WNYC is sponsored by X company" sound like "WNYC thinks you should buy X company's products."
Finally Ivan's daily work included many other responsibilities. For instance, Ivan advised one journalist about the ethics and legalities of interviewing patients at a hospital. Earlier in the day, he had to resolve a dispute with another company that was going to produce a music show using a name that NYPR had already trademarked.
For someone who squirms at the thought of public speaking and would be a horrible trial lawyer, I was delighted to learn that as a general counsel, one could delve into the intricacies of law without dealing with all the arguing and stress of litigation. (In fact, when NYPR goes to court, they hire an outside firm to represent them.) The work is also very flexible—Ivan said he comes to work anytime from 9 am-10 am most days and leaves from 5 pm-9 pm. But what I like best, and what has made being a general counsel at NYPR one of my dream jobs, is the environment. The funky furniture and colorful, open office space reflect the creative work produced in the NYPR headquarters. And unlike a large law firm, at NYPR one can walk up two flights of stairs and suddenly be immersed in the fast-paced, exciting environment of the "Morning Edition" production studio or listen to an inspiring performance by a Chinese opera singer in the "Soundcheck" studio.
If you like winning high-profile cases and working at a prestigious firm, perhaps being a counsel for a media outlet isn't for you. But if you like solving complicated problems and giving advice to others in a creative environment, being a counsel may be your dream job, too.
P.S. Another thing that made this Princeternship so fun was Ivan. He is really chill, super nice, and dispels all lawyer stereotypes!

Here's the problem: By using a 'Cloud' service, you essentially allow someone else to hold your data for you, and you are subject to their whims as to what they can do with it. Previously, Dropbox had a pretty decent statement of how they would hold your data. It was all supposed to be totally private, not even Dropbox employees could get at it. Until the US Government demanded some data that Dropbox was holding. And then it turns out that Dropbox employees could indeed access data if it was necessary, such as to comply with a court order. Or if some bored, disgruntled employee decided they wanted to snoop.
Now it's worse. Dropbox just changed their Terms of Service (TOS), and there's some worrisome language in there that essentially assigns full copyright to all of your data to Dropbox:
'By submitting your stuff to the Services, you grant us (and those we work with to provide the Services) worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable rights to use, copy, distribute, prepare derivative works (such as translations or format conversions) of, perform, or publicly display that stuff to the extent we think it necessary for the Service.'Oh, and sublicenseable, meaning they can let anyone else use your data as well. Is that what you signed up for? Is that okay with you?
This is one of my biggest problems with 'Cloud Computing'. It's like handing someone your wallet, and trusting them to just hold it, not let anyone else access it, and not access it themselves. The pressure is just too great for them to just snoop a little, or give in to demands from others to get access for various reasons. This has always been my problem with Cloud Computing, but the market was all gung ho with a new buzzword, a new (not really) concept, and a huge marketing push to drive customers. What providers like about Cloud Computing is that it's portable. They can build new data centers anywhere it's cheap to do so. Cost of doing business in Hong Kong getting too high? Let's move the datacenter to Thailand. Somewhere that labor and rent is cheap.
Dropbox is very convenient. But is it worth giving away your data?

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Rutgers is turning to one of its greatest players to lead the basketball program past an embarrassing coaching scandal and into its future with the Big Ten Conference.
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Rutgers is turning to one of its greatest players to lead the basketball program past an embarrassing coaching scandal and into its future with the Big Ten Conference.
A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that Los Angeles Lakers assistant Eddie Jordan has reached a tentative agreement to take over as coach of the scandal-marred program.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the school has not officially announced the deal with its all-time leader in assists and steals.
The person said the two sides hammered out the five-year contract after Jordan returned to New Jersey Wednesday. The deal needs to be reviewed by the university's board of governors, and an official press conference might not happen until next Tuesday.
The agreement comes just more than two weeks after Rutgers fired Mike Rice after a video was aired that showed him grabbing and kicking players at practice, and using anti-gay slurs.
The video was compiled from recordings taken during Rice's three years as coach. Athletic director Tim Pernetti, a university lawyer and assistant coach Jimmy Martelli also resigned amid the scandal.
A board member familiar with the tentative contract said it has some legal issues that have to be addressed by the board. The member did not think the legal issues would be a problem, perhaps just a delay.
The board is not scheduled to meet again until June 20. A telephone conference call can be held to handle urgent issues, but board members need 48 hours' notice to do so. A board member who asked not to be identified had not received such notice by noon on Thursday.
Jordan was not immediately available for comment and Rutgers spokesman Jason Baum said the university had no comment.
Jordan's first job will be to stabilize the roster. Jerome Seagears, Malik Kone and Vincent Garrett have asked for transfers and swingman Mike Poole reportedly is looking to leave a team that posted a 15-16 record last season.
Forward Wally Judge said it's good to know a new coach seemingly is in place.
"This is a step forward," Judge said in a telephone interview with The AP. "I know the past will still be brought up and people will want to talk about Mike Rice. But this is a sign the program has moved past that."
Brooklyn Nets coach P.J. Carlesimo, who led New Jersey rival Seton Hall to the Final Four in 1989, said hiring Jordan was a great move for Rutgers.
"I love Eddie. I think Eddie will be fantastic," Carlesimo said Thursday. "I remember, that's how old I am, I know when Eddie was playing at Rutgers. But he's an excellent coach, I think it's a great, great hire by Rutgers and I think it'll be, I think he'll do really, really well."
Jordan played for the Scarlet Knights from 1973-77, and was the point guard on the team that went to the Final Four in 1976. He interviewed for the position in 2010, as well, when Rice eventually landed the job.
Once again, this time around, Jordan was not the top choice. The Rutgers search committee hit the ground running last week, and connected with Rhode Island coach Dan Hurley first. But Hurley, a New Jersey native who was a former assistant at Rutgers, agreed to a contract extension with the Rams through the 2019-20 season.
The committee then focused in on Jordan, and didn't look at any other avenues.
In fact, Jordan, after coaching with the Lakers last Friday night, flew to New Jersey on Saturday, and met with Interim Athletic Director Carl Kirschner Sunday.
Jordan, 58, also met with Rutgers President Robert Barchi during the process. He will take over a program mired in scandal and doesn't have a wealth of experience in the recruiting world. Jordan has been a head coach in the NBA with Sacramento, Washington and Philadelphia. He has a 257-343 career coaching record in the NBA.
A leader during the most successful era of the program's history, Jordan was an assistant on coach Bob Wenzel's staff when the Scarlet Knights last made the NCAA tournament in 1991.
When Pernetti hired Rice away from Robert Morris in 2010, Jordan, who played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, New Jersey Nets, Portland Trail Blazers and the Lakers, also interviewed for the position. Ultimately, Pernetti saw more in the volatile Rice, who had just taken the Colonials to consecutive NCAA tournament appearances.
Jordan, who played on the Lakers' championship team in 1982, snared his first NBA head coaching job in Sacramento in March 1997, but was fired by the Kings after going 33-64. The Wizards fired him early in his sixth season after 197 victories and four playoff appearances.
Jordan coached one miserable season in Philadelphia in 2009-10 that saw the Sixers sink toward the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Jordan sold his half-court, backdoor-cut style Princeton offense as the way to turn Philadelphia into a contender, but the style never meshed with the talent on the roster. The 76ers finished 27-55 that season.
He also was an assistant with the then-New Jersey Nets, including two seasons when point guard Jason Kidd led them to the NBA Finals (2002, 2003).
The Scarlet Knights can only hope some of that New Jersey success rubs off on Rutgers, especially after the embarrassment of the last few weeks.
Rice was suspended three games and fined $75,000 by the school when video of his outrageous conduct was given to Pernetti last fall. But he returned to the bench, and the Scarlet Knights finished 15-16 overall, 5-13 in the Big East. Barchi agreed with the penalty. Rutgers, incidentally, went 3-0 during Rice's suspension.
The video showed numerous clips of Rice at practice during his three years at the school firing basketballs at players, hitting them in the back, legs, feet and shoulders. It also shows him grabbing players by their jerseys and yanking them around the court. Rice can also be heard yelling obscenities and using anti-gay slurs.
Rice was one of the nation's hot coaching candidates in 2010, and also interviewed with Fordham, his alma mater, after that season. But he wasn't able to push Rutgers into the upper echelon of the Big East, and went 44-51. Rice was 16-38 in the league, after going 73-31 in three seasons at Robert Morris.

Sean of Gamer Euphoria writes:
''There are a number of things that a lot of modern 'horror' titles get wrong. For example, the player isn't treated like a victim; they are the one in control of the situation. This is often a result of arming the player to the teeth and throwing waves of enemies at them. There's nothing scary about out-gunning everything that comes after you.''
I think they will be ok aslong as they go back to making them scary again instead of being more action based like resident evil has become. You kinda feel like a bad azz instead of a hopeless survivor trying to stay alive.
Nah, I think the worst ended when Resident Evil 6 became so such a lowly received game. Sure it sold "okay-ish" for Capcom's standards, but do they honestly feel they can risk an RE game with such low scores a second time?
Besides, with the rise of games like Slender and Amnesia, gamers have other alternatives to turn to for a horror fix. The horror genre will survive; I don't think there's too much reason to worry right now.
we need another Friday the 13th game. one that actually makes sense.
*Just looks at title*
So is a dark future for horror games a good thing or a bad thing?

Q - Why do you prefer a spring tension hoop? And why so small???
A - I like to be able to re-hoop quickly. The spring tension hoops allow quick "re-loads", have very thin sides and no screw to tear my fingers up. It's also easy to loosen or re-tighten as I work... looser for that sewing motion with the backstitch.... tighter for crossing over or making long stitches such as feather, fly, lazy daisy. The size is good for women's hands. It's easy to reach to the center of the hoop.
Q - Why do you use Weeks Dye Works floss if it's not colorfast?
A - We use this floss because it's absolutely gorgeous! That, and we use it on designs that we feel would never be washed. You'll never see it used on a dish towel pattern.... YIKES!!
Q - Why do you call for a backstitch in your patterns & not a stem stitch?
A - Sheer laziness!! LOL! Really, for the most part the backstitch is much easier and faster. It doesn't roll over...... hmmm.... what else? If you do a stem stitch it needs to be very small and very precise & even to look good. A backstitch is much more forgiving. However, it's YOUR stitchery & you can use the stem stitch if that's what your fingers want to do! It's not going to hurt MY feeling!!
Q - Who is this man, and why is he smiling????
A - That's Bob, our UPS dude! He's probably smiling because we didn't have anything for him to pick up last night.... WHEW, those boxes of patterns are heavy!
Q - Why do you call for such a large piece of stitchery fabric (such as a 12"x12" square when the stitchery is only 6"x6") ?
A - I leave extra room for hooping around the edges of the stitchery. If you don't think you'll need the extra room you can always use your own judgement and use less fabric. It's up to you!
Q - My lazy daisy stitches are tight and don't look like the ones drawn on the patterns. How do you make them look like loops?
A - Easy! I find that they're often pulled too tight. Also, if the floss is pulled straight UP from the surface of the fabric to tighten the stitch, it's much easier to get out of control and over-tighten. Instead, pull the floss out right down along the edge of your hoop. Pull slowly until the loop is the size and shape you want.

|System: PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U
|Dev: Ubisoft
|Pub: Ubisoft
|Release: TBA
|Players: 1-4 + Puppet Master
|Screen Resolution: 480p-1080p
And more are set to be revealed in the coming months. The game is set to launch in October for the Wii, Kinect, and Move, but obviously these versions of the game don't come with the trollerific puppet master mode. The superior version of Just Dance 4 will hit the Wii U as a launch title.
My final verdict on Just Dance 4? It's fun! In fact, it's loads of fun. I was never a fan of the Just Dance series because it always felt like a poor imitation of Dance Central. However, the ability to control the dance routines your friends perform, all while taking pictures and generally embarrassing them, is certainly unique. It offers something that no other dance game has offered before. Maybe Nintendo really is on to something with this asymmetrical party gameplay thing. Be on the lookout for Just Dance 4 when the Wii U launches later this Holiday season, and remember to run like the wind when your friends tell you it's your turn to dance.
P.S. At E3, the dancers included the Power Rangers, Solid Snake, some guy in a pink jumpsuit, and more. It just made the trolling that much more delicious.

Like a slow-burning fuse, it took a long time for Los Angeles Opera's opening night performance of "Carmen," Saturday at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, to ignite Georges Bizet's powder keg of passion.
The red carpet was out, though the traditional free-flowing opening night champagne was nowhere to be seen. In fact, except for those attending the walled-off gala, the energy level and haphazard dress code hardly suggested the event was special at all. But then, people in Los Angeles rarely dress up for anything except the Oscars, the Emmys and the Grammys.
Remarkably, Plácido Domingo, the company's 72-year-old maestro, who had been hospitalized in July after suffering a pulmonary embolism, was on the podium and seemingly back to his Energizer Bunny pace.
And then there was "Carmen."
Listless is not the word you usually equate with Bizet's tempestuous opera. But the first act — featuring Irish mezzo-soprano Patricia Bardon as Carmen; the American tenor Brandon Jovanovich as the beguiled corporal of the guard, Don José; and South African soprano Pretty Yende as the innocent village girl, Micéla — just couldn't get going, even though the company has chosen to cut the opera's spoken dialog in an effort to move things along.
As directed by Trevore Ross (in his company debut), the passing parade of soldiers, street urchins and cigarette girls lacked so much tension and focus it seemed to be moving in slow motion. Bardon's Carmen was sultry and smoldering, but there was no fire. It was like the fake cigarettes the cast was pretending to smoke.
It wasn't until Act 2, with its swirling flamenco dancers (expertly choreographed by Briseyda Zárate Fernández) and the arrival of bass-baritone Ildebrando D'Arcangelo as the cock-of-the-walk matador, Escamillo, that the performance finally ignited.
The vast cavernous interior of Lillas Pastia's tavern (originally designed by Gerardo Trotti for Teatro Real, Madrid) was awash in brash machismo, sensuous femininity and potential violence, with D'Arcangelo dominating the scene like a force of nature.
Bardon, whose Carmen combines come-hither seduction with hard-edged pragmatism, danced for her lover, and Jovanovich (more of a Boy Scout than a fiery Latin lover) made the fateful decision to follow his beloved Carmencita into a life of crime.
The rapid-fire quintet between Carmen, the smugglers, El Dancaïro (Museop Kim) and Remendado (Keith Jameson) and the Gypsy girls, Mercédés (Carmen Zoé Velasco) and Frasquita (Hae Ji Chang) crackled. But there was also the quirky addition of a towering drag queen (reminiscent of Divine, the star of "Pink Flamingos") who takes it upon him (or her) self to gun down the pompous lieutenant, Zuniga, (Valentine Aniken) with the callous indifference of "Breaking Bad."
The third act shifts to the mountain pass where the smugglers gather and the relationship between Carmen and Don José turns as rocky as the landscape. It's also at this moment that Micéla reappears and her rendition of "Je dis rien ne m'épouvante' ("I tell myself nothing daunts me") was a vocal highlight of the performance.
The final scene outside the bull ring in Seville, with its colorful mish-mash of costumes by Jesus del Pozo, provides the background for the final confrontation. But again, Ross's direction fails to give the moment of truth the emotional gravity it requires.
The great British director Peter Brook once created a scaled-down version of "Carmen" inside the replica of a wooden bull ring covered in sand. The idea was to show how the drama could be simplified and pinpointed in a manner that would charge the imagination and rend the heart. LA Opera's production goes the other way in a muddled attempt at grandiosity that diffuses the passion rather than intensifying it.
