Who was Trevor Jones?
I met and took this photo of
Trevor Jones
in London in 1982. Wings was no more and Paul wasn't touring, so Trevor was Pauls "minder" and kept in the back. In a 2008 interview with Howie Edelson, Denny Seiwell said of Trevor: "The roadies; Ian Horn and Trevor Jones - they were brothers-in-law, I guess. Ian married Trevor's sister. . . something like that - I don't know. But the next couple of years it was just me and Henry (McCullough) and Ian and Trevor. We were like always together. Trevor died. What year was it that Linda (McCartney) died? '98. Well then, Trevor died just before that, I think. He had an alcohol problem. Paul told me about this. I had no idea. Paul said that he had to give him the 'golden handshake' because of his boozin' and that he had passed away."
Okay, so I cropped this photo square and put a title on it, what's it to you? ;-D

The Penguin Play Awards are almost here, and excitement is in the air! All eyes will be focused on the Stage, where the Awards will be presented. In fact, it's almost hard to remember a time when there wasn't a Stage in Club Penguin at all.
The Stage came to Club Penguin in November of 2007. Before that, the area between the Pizza Shop and the Pet Shop looked like this:
It was a pretty empty area. Sometimes, penguins would sit around the tables and hang out with friends, and sometimes we'd decorate it for parties, but we'd always wanted to put a building there. What should it be? Should we put another shop there? Should we build a bowling alley? Should we have hundreds of penguins with jetpacks lift the Dojo from the top of its mountain and drop it there?
Then, we noticed how there were a lot of penguins that were pretending to do all sorts of things on Club Penguin that we didn't have yet… going to school, being superheroes, even going into space! What if we built a place that would change every month so that penguins could do all of those things? And that's why the stage was built.
As a bonus, building a very artistic stage made a very artistic puffle come out of hiding for the first time. I'm sure you know which one I mean:
Hope you liked learning about this piece of Club Penguin history. Enjoy the Awards tomorrow!

As the St. Patrick's Day Party wraps up, a lot of you are helping with construction around the Stage. This Friday, the first Penguin Play Awards will begin, and you'll be able to dress up, walk the red carpet, and vote for your favorite stage plays in different categories! The team's looked at the website poll results and your comments, and we've got a list of the Club Penguin community's 5 favorite plays. Which plays do you think made the top 5?
Members will have access to the inside of the Stage, where there will be a few extra surprises.
The Penguin Play Awards go from March 20 – April 9, and I don't want to give everything away yet, but the team's really excited because this event is mostly about giving you the chance to be creative with all the special things you'll find in and around the Stage.
Until then…Waddle on!

MAY 10, 2016 — Genting Hong Kong is moving rapidly ahead with its plans to make its recently formed Lloyd Werft Group a major player in the cruise ship building industry.
Consisting of Lloyd Werft's existing shipyard in Bremerhaven and the three yards acquired from Nordic Yards in Wismar, Warnemunde and Stralsund, the new group will be Germany's second largest shipbuilder.
Yesterday saw Mr. Hui Lim, Executive Director and Chief Information Officer, Genting Hong Kong unveil the plans and premises of the group's new Design Center scheduled to open May 30, 2016 in Bremerhaven.
The ceremony marked the first step in Genting's long term investment of about 100 million euros in the Lloyd Werft Group's four shipyards to create state-of-the-art facilities for new shipbuilding.
The new design center will form the nucleus for basic and detailed design of the group's ships, with additional production design taking place in Wismar and Warnemunde.
"Being in charge of information technology for the Genting Group, I am very happy to support a world class design center featuring the latest design software which can be coordinated and interfaced with other ship equipment suppliers to efficiently produce the full basic and detailed design of cruise ships and megayachts," said Mr. Hui Lim.
Housed in a renovated and restored heritage building first constructed in 1910, the center will be able to house up to 250 designers in 6,000 sq.m of office space. Another 1,500 sq.m will serve a dual purpose for the display of mock-ups for cruise ship cabins, suites and public areas and use as a showroom for furniture and other movable items for cruise ships.
Once completed and in full operation, over a hundred new jobs will be created and housed in the center.
"On behalf of Genting," said Mr. Lim, "I would like to thank the State of Bremen and the City of Bremerhaven for their support of Lloyd Werft for over 160 years and we look forward to closer cooperation and support in our efforts to create a second cruise shipyard group in Germany – the Lloyd Werft Group – which will create thousands of new jobs for the cruise shipbuilding industry in Germany and Europe," concluded Mr. Lim.

Potential Impact Assessments
If monitoring results indicate a potential impact to media at a facility, AEM will reevaluate the results obtained from the facility to identify any potential false-positives. Assuming an impact is still indicated, we assess the potential sources of an impact and develop a plan for identifying the source or sources responsible for the impact. These plans are designed by AEM with input from the appropriate regulators. Input from regulators at this stage is imperative to providing data that will be acceptable to the regulators.
AEM's assessment plans are painstakingly designed to minimize assessment costs by focusing assessment activities where the most data can be obtained.
AEM implements assessment activities with constant reevaluations to refine the scope of the assessment based on any preliminary results. Frequent discussions with the appropriate regulators during the assessment minimize wasted effort and money.
In conjunction with the initiation of assessment activities at a facility, AEM attempts to identify any potential funding sources that may offset costs for the client.

CNH Industrial at key Dubai investment summit
DUBAI, December 5, 2017
CNH Industrial, a global leader in the capital goods sector with established industrial experience, took part in the 22nd edition of the World Investment Conference, an annual event organised by the World Association of Investment Promotion Agencies (WAIPA) in Dubai.
CNH Industrial was the only private corporation in the capital goods sector to be invited to the conference, due in part to its business portfolio that covers all areas of infrastructure development, from earthmoving equipment to goods and passenger transport vehicles, from quarry-construction vehicles to engines for power generation applications, said a statement from the company.
During the conference, the company underscored its presence in the Middle East region through its business segments, from construction equipment and industrial vehicles to mining equipment and gensets.
CNH Industrial is present in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region with an extensive sales and service network for several of its brands, notably Case Construction Equipment, Iveco, Iveco Astra and FPT Industrial.
The event was attended by investment promotion agencies from all over the world, high ranking
representatives of public and private institutions, development agencies, universities and NGOs.
The 2017 edition of the conference was aimed at supporting investments that are able to guarantee sustainable development at local and global levels, said the statement.
Speaking at the event, Michele Ziosi, the head of Institutional Relations for Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific, at CNH Industrial, said: "The sustainability of products and processes is a key ingredient of the success of a company's investments."
"In this context, CNH Industrial's leadership in the research, development and sale of alternative fuel machines and engines alongside the most advanced and cleanest of conventional fuel units, provides ample evidence of the company's commitment to assisting in corporate communications besides the drive to reduce emissions in the environment," he stated.
Addressing the gathering, Ziosi dwelt at length as to how the Case brand had been progressively expanding in the Gulf region, starting from Dubai itself, with the goal of accompanying the continual growth taking place in the area.
The global construction equipment brand of CNH Industrial, which this year celebrates 175 years since its establishment by founder Jerome I. Case, is present in the Middle East and the North-East Africa region with a central coordination facility for the entire area located in Dubai, and a sales and service network comprising 17 dealerships.
The brand's main products are backhoe loaders, skid-steer loaders, compact track loaders, crawler excavators, graders and wheel loaders, he added.-TradeArabia News Service

The age of criminality in England is 10. This means that a child under the age of 10 cannot be arrested, or charged, with a crime.
The concept of moral responsibility is a tricky one, because how do we as a society decide where to draw a line?
If the killers of Jamie Bulger had been nine years and 11 months on February 12, 1993, would they have not been charged with his murder?
If a girl has intercourse two months before her 16th birthday, is that any different to if she has it two months later?
By the age of 10 (although this varies across the world and even within the UK), a child is expected to know right from wrong, and therefore be accepting of the responsibility and consequences of their behaviour.
Parenting is often blamed for children who misbehave – and I don't mean the extremes of Robert Thompson and John Venables. But given that even grown adults sometimes have to question ethics and morality, this is murky water.
The concept of absolute and relative morality, for example, leaves huge grey areas overshadowing our ethical decisions.
If stealing is considered wrong, is it somehow less wrong depending on the circumstances, thereby making it relative to the situation?
If a man steals food for a family he can't afford to feed, in a moment of desperation, is that less wrong than a man who steals a car for a joyride?
Perhaps the intent behind an action influences our opinions of what constitutes 'wrong', but there are very few examples of absolute morality in life.
Moral absolutes that the majority of stable people would agree on, such as rape and child abuse coming firmly under the 'wrong' heading, may see a grey area within 'killing' – for example, in self-defence.
It's simply unrealistic to assume that we can blanket cover moral issues. And this also raises the concept of nature v nurture. Is a baby born with an innate sense of what is right or wrong, or does everything have to be taught via their parents?
Food for thought.
A timely reminder that the clocks will be changing tonight.
Putting them forward by an hour is sad news for parents of very tiny children everywhere.
That's because it means we'll be well into the time of year when we can no longer fool our offspring into believing it's bedtime before they're old enough to be able to tell the time.
My own children are well beyond the age when that was a saving grace at the end of a fraught day.
But they're coming into the age where they are thrilled to see a little more sunlight, a blue sky or two, and the nodding heads of the daffs at the roadside.
And if you suffer from SAD, as many people do, then the spring has nearly sprung with not a moment to lose.
The buzzwords in education at the moment (or some of them) are 'growth mindset'.
Thankfully, this one has common sense and science behind it, suggesting that rather than praising children simply for good work, we should of course be praising the effort.
In particular, we should be enabling children to make mistakes, as this is part and parcel of the learning process. If we are too afraid to make mistakes, we can never really learn or progress.
The old cliché that 'practice makes perfect' may not be fully true – what's 'perfect' anyway? – but practice is certainly what it's all about. It's the hard work and trying your best that leads to success.
A useful lesson in the age of certain celebrities.

NOIDA: Real estate major Supertech on Wednesday filed a special leave petition in the Supreme Court against the Allahabad high court's order to demolish two residential towers in Noida's Sector 93A for flouting building norms.
Homebuyers in the two 40-storey towers – Apex and Ceyane – have already moved the Supreme Court.
"We have constructed Apex and Ceyane towers in conformity with the Noida Authority's bylaws and the National Building Code 2005," said Supertech chief R K Arora. "Our representatives could not present the facts properly in the Allahabad high court. We have all necessary approvals in place and our team will represent the facts properly and we are confident that we and our buyers will get relief from the apex court."
Arora added, "Apart from approvals, we started construction according to the layout plan sanctioned by the Noida Authority. There is no illegality in the project; this is the reason buyers are still associated with us. Protection of the homebuyers' interest is the top priority of the company."
The company has already offered homebuyers in the two towers three options – a cash refund at 14% compounded interest as ordered by the high court, a shift to any other ongoing Supertech project proportionate with the investment in Apex and Ceyane, or continue in the same project and wait for the legal outcome.
"So far, only 1-2% buyers have wished for a cash refund at 14% compounded interest. Rest of the buyers want their flats in the twin towers. Earlier we had given buyers an April 30 deadline to decide on which option they want but now we have revised the date to May 31," Arora said.
On April 11, a division bench of justices V K Shukla and Suneet Kumar had ordered the demolition of the towers "within a period of four months" and also directed the prosecution of the builder and officials of Noida Authority for allowing the construction. The Noida Authority is also considering filing a special leave petition in the Supreme Court.

So in the last 17yrs, I've owned 5 computers and only paid for 2. The rest were hand-me-downs.
And in this time I have learned to do my own tech repair, migrations, backups, maintenance and all other shit you pay other people to do to fix your machine. The process of transferring a massive amt. of data is never an easy one, though it should be. But I generally operate on the premise that shit will go wrong for any reason, at anytime so prepare for it.
And yet, when the moment comes there's always at least one thing that seems to surprise me. You'd think, nah, I've been thru this song & dance many times; I'm used to it.
But in reality, you get astonished.
Like I can't for my life figure out why simple backed up mp3 files now aren't being read by the new laptop computer. It's a simple disc with a basic trasnferrable format that I made to be read on any computer. Same OS even.
I can play movie DVD's, but the drive cannot read blank DVD's or burn them.
It won't read data on CD's either. ?!
On top of that I now i have to establish a network connection between both computers to transfer the data. Man, it's always something! Everything I have ever saved onto the last computer won't open in this one. It's just horse-feathers, that's what! What a gigantic waste of time this is gonna be, picking & choosing & sifting through 164 GB of data. *sigh*
And then I have to cleanse & streamline the computer to give to my elderly parents. Gotta make it very easy to navigate thru and make those icons really big! Ohboy.
All in all, I'd say I'm looking at mid September after all is said & done. Sheesh. Now would be a good time to become Harry Potter. Infinatum Computergeekius! *poof

In yet another sign the East End is gentrifying, a chain restaurant wants to move in.
Yes, it's a fast food joint. But Moe's Southwest Grill is moving into the Sagamore, where condos sell for more than a few hundred grand. This isn't a sign the Sagamore is failing. It's a sign someone has some some serious money, as the franchise requires a $1.5 million net worth and $600,000 liquid cash available.
This is not a story about Henry B's closing. (I'm sorry for the staff affected, but it was not a popular place. In a town with 1,000 Italian restaurants, fancy and high end is generally not going to work.) This is a story about the chains jumping Jefferson Rd. into the Inner Loop.
Chains take fewer risks than independent business owners. And when they do take risks, they're very calculated. Tim Horton's recently made its first push into downtown Rochester after 10 years in the market.
"It was a mix of the proper location and right opportunity. We know downtown is being revitalized and we want to be a part of that," said Adam Grandmont, Tim Horton's district manager of operations. He sees a chain moving to the neighborhood as a big vote of confidence.
The danger of chains swooping in is an area loses its identity. I will not be happy if Matthews East End Grill sells out to Applebee's or Spot Coffee becomes Starbucks or Veneto morphs into Olive Garden. A neighborhood's soul is in its unique architecture, streets and businesses.
In Buffalo, Elmwood Village neighbors freaked out when Panera announced it was moving in. Even though the chain was taking over a Blockbuster, residents worried about the character of their enclave. The debate made me think about a conversation I had with the owner of a historic W. Main St. church who wants to tear it down to put up a dollar store. "Panera isn't coming here," he said, pointing to the low-income housing going up nearby.
At least Henry B's is being subdivided to include both Moe's and a local bistro. (By the way, Havana Moe's cigar shop across the street has got to be throwing a fit right now. It's been around longer than Moe's Southwest. I can see some drama ahead.)
While I don't think there's any danger of East Ave. becoming W. Ridge Rd., we have to keep an eye on the chains. On the one hand, they're a sign of success. (Anyone see the Dairy Queen lines?!) On the other hand, they're a sign of gentrification…and the generic.


text: I remember that someone at ET has discussed the influence of the option expiration day on the stock index. But I can not find it right now, any one can help me on this? The reason I ask this is that yesterday is an option expiration day, I want to know does it has any relation to the rally?

Trick or treating: Any questions?
This week, Saturday Night Live is airing a half-hour animated special featuring David S. Pumpkins, the viral sensation brought to life by Tom Hanks last year. But that wasn't the only memorable Halloween sketch on SNL.
Take this "Weekend Update" bit from 1998. Jimmy Fallon busts out his guitar to sing about trick or treating in spoofs of Matchbox Twenty, the Counting Crows, Alanis Morissette, and Marcy Playground.
"Well, she said, 'It's cold outside,' and I said, 'It's October,'" he croons to the Matchbox Twenty's "3AM."
Then, to the melody of Morissette's "Thank U," he rants against mini candy bars ("aren't they moronic?") and cheap people who give out bags of pennies. But he is grateful for a few things.
"Thank U, Mike and Ike," he continues. "Thank you, Smarties."
Thank you, Halloween.
SNL returns Nov. 4 with host Larry David and musical guest Miley Cyrus.

When do they turn on the heating?? (Prague)
I'm staying for a short time in a nice flat in the Old Town and it is freezing. I've been told that the city hasn't turned on the heating yet. Can that be true? Other places in the region I've lived they turn it on the beginning of October.
I'd like to know if that is in fact the problem or I am being told a story.

text: If the S500 was the Mercedes flagship car, then the S600 would be the mothership. This came with all the standard and optional amenities as the S500 (leather, wood, traction control, air suspension, etc.), but it boasted a much larger 6.0L V12 engine. This meant more power to carry around the two-ton plus vehicle. Some would argue this 400hp motor was overkill, but certain S-Class models weighed in excess of 5,000-lbs. Mercedes-Benz S600 parts are absolutely the finest, because the standards to which that car is built are the finest.

In addition to discussing his "con-artist" brother — whom he credits with getting him into the "American Idol" audition — his wife and his dad during an appearance on "Bonnie Hunt" Monday (Nov. 30), current "AI" champion Kris Allen was asked about Adam Lambert's controversial man-on-man "American Music Awards" performance as well.
Yes, shocker, we know.
The kid is clearly pretty sick of talking about the week-old situation, but being the polite boy he is, Allen played along, telling Hunt "…maybe next year on the AMAs, I'll do the same thing."
After the interview, Allen got to business, performing his new single "Live Like We're Dying"…

ROBERT BADINTER in conversation with NEAL KATYAL
Robert Badinter, the French Minister of Justice between 1981 and 1986, led the battle to abolish the death penalty in France. He became a militant abolitionist after watching one of his clients unjustly guillotined in 1972. Over the next decade, he fought the death penalty in the courts and saved six men from the guillotine. After the election of François Mitterrand in 1981, Badinter was named Minister of Justice and pushed through the legislation that abolished the death penalty.
Badinter's book, Abolition: One Man's Battle Against the Death Penalty, serves as a guidebook on the various legal and political strategies that can be used in the quest for abolition. With U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, Badinter recently co-authored a book on the role of judges.
In a discussion about the death penalty, Badinter will be joined by Neal Katyal who recently won Hamdan v. Rumsfeld in the United States Supreme Court and who in July of this year agreed to serve as lead counsel for the State of Louisiana in asking the United States Supreme Court to reconsider its June decision abolishing the use of the death penalty for child rapists. Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch, will introduce the evening. He has written the forward for Badinter's book, Abolition.

Education In A Crime Control Frame
Framing matters, especially when it comes to news. And today we witnessed a very interesting framing strategy on the education front. A national organization called Fight Crime: Invest in Kids is pushing a new study showing that a ten percent increase in the number of high schoolers earning their degrees will cut 3,000 murders and 175,000 murders in the United States. And how do we spike those graduation rates? Bigger investments in pre-K programs, of course. There isn't much news here - except perhaps the sophisticated political tactics which yielded "local" coverage of the story in Philly, Knoxville, Birmingham, and Lansing, among other places. (The organization seems to have a state-by-state approach to both research and advocacy.)

CrimProf Kevin Washburn to Arizona from Minnesota
From the Press Release: "Kevin K. Washburn will join the Arizona Law faculty, teaching and working in the areas of American Indian law and criminal law. "Professor Washburn's extensive work in American Indian law and gaming law will consolidate strengths in our Indigenous Peoples Law & Policy program (IPLP), which is known worldwide," Dean Toni Massaro said, "and his expertise in criminal law will advance our multidisciplinary Program in Criminal Law & Policy (PCLP)."
Currently the Oneida Indian Nation Visiting Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, Professor Washburn previously taught at the University of Minnesota. He has written widely (SSRN page here) on areas at the intersection of Federal Indian law and criminal law. Professor Washburn is also an expert in gaming law, and has been a frequent commentator on issues in the media, in the legal community, and before Congressional panels examining gaming policy. He has also served as a principal investigator for a $1.4 million federal grant to examine the state of the criminal justice system on Indian reservations and has extensive law practice experience as a former Assistant U.S. Attorney and trial attorney for the Department of Justice, as well as general counsel of the National Indian Gaming Commission. He will begin teaching in the fall of 2008, holding the position of Rosenstiel Distinguished Professor of Law."
My former Cincinnati colleague Jack Chin is on the Arizona faculty; he told me that in addition to snagging Kevin, Arizona recently hired Katherine Barnes from Wash U (SSRN page here), a J.D./Ph.D. in statistics who is an expert in racial disparity, and Marc Miller from Emory (SSRN page here), known for his Criminal Procedure and Sentencing casebooks, and his empirical work on prosecutorial charging decisions. Marc and Jack appear in Brian Leiter's study of highly cited CrimProfs. Arizona has a criminal law speaker every week, a Criminal Law and Policy Certificate Program just graduated its first class, and a new White Collar prosecution clinic with the Arizona Attorney General's Office, in addition to the traditional prosecution and defense clinics. Jack told me that he and his colleagues have been especially pleased with the interest and participation of the criminal bar--both sides, and up and down the ranks--in the research and policy and discussions at the U of A. It looks like Arizona is building quite a strong criminal program. [Mark Godsey]

Crimprof Darryl Brown Joins Virginia Law Faculty
An experienced former public defender and current Class of 1958 Alumni CrimProf at the Washington and Lee University School of Law Darryl Brown will join the Virginia Law faculty as a professor this fall. CrimProf Brown, who visited the Law School during the 2004-2005 school year, teaches criminal law, criminal adjudication, and evidence.
"I have a great fondness for Virginia because it's my alma mater and I had a wonderful visit there two years ago," Brown said. "My family's looking forward to getting back to Charlottesville."
After earning his law degree at Virginia, where he served as executive editor of the Virginia Law Review, Brown clerked for Delores K. Sloviter, Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. He was an associate at the law firm Kilpatrick & Cody in Atlanta from 1991-92 before working as an assistant public defender in Clarke County, Ga., and as a staff attorney at the University of Georgia School of Law Legal Aid Clinic from 1992-94. After teaching at Mercer University and Rutgers law schools, he became an assistant professor at the University of Dayton School of Law, where he served until joining Washington and Lee in 1999.
Brown received his master's degree in American Studies from the College of William and Mary after earning his B.A. at East Carolina University. Before pursuing graduate work he briefly explored journalism, working as a copy aide at the Washington Post.
In the Public Defender's Office of Clarke County in Athens, he also supervised University of Georgia law students and began working as an adjunct professor at Mercer University School of Law.
"Once I started practicing it, I really enjoyed both the scale of the litigation, in the sense that I could handle my own cases, and [that] the cases didn't drag on for months or years, so I could see a lot of cases through," Brown said, "and I liked being a double-check on the government.
"Every now and then you get one of those cases that you feel good about—actually correcting the system and keeping someone from getting wrongfully convicted. Much more often what you're doing is dealing with people who are guilty of something and making sure that the system convicts them appropriately," he added.
The Raleigh, N.C., native was also exposed to a new perspective on the indigent.
"Being in a public defender office, all of our clients were poor. I developed close working relationships with the kind of people I'd largely never met before," he said. "It was an eye-opening experience to see what the lives of a lot of my clients were like." Rest of Story. . . [Mark Godsey]

Fordham's New CrimProf Hires: Part II
Fordham recently hired two new CrimProfs to start in the fall. John Pfaff was previously spotlighted here. Here is the bio for Fordham's second hire, Youngjae Lee:
I was born in Seoul, Korea and grew up there until my family immigrated to the United States when I was fourteen. After spending my high school days in the Seattle area, I went to Swarthmore College, where I studied philosophy and economics. It was there, while studying philosophical controversies surrounding the concept of desert, that I first became interested in punishment.
After graduating from Swarthmore, I went back to Korea to study more philosophy at Seoul National University as a Fulbright Scholar. While I was in Korea, two ex-Presidents of South Korea were arrested and tried for treason, which further deepened my interest in the institution of punishment. There were various constitutional challenges against the prosecutions, and watching the legal process unfold also piqued my interest in Korean constitutional law and constitutional regulation of criminal procedure there.
I then returned here and attended Harvard Law School, and while I was a 2L, United States v. Bajakajian was decided, which was the first case in which a criminal fine was declared unconstitutional for being "excessive" under the Excessive Fines Clause of the Eighth Amendment. I wrote a student comment about the case, focusing on the concept of proportionality in punishment and revisiting the topic of desert.
After law school, I moved to Washington, D.C. and stayed there for a few years, first as a law clerk for Judge Judith Rogers on the D.C. Circuit, and later as a litigator at the Justice Department and at Jenner & Block.
Then I moved to New York to take up my current position as an Alexander Fellow at NYU School of Law. While here, I've pursued my academic interests in criminal law, criminal law theory, and comparative constitutional law in both my teaching and writing. I wrote two articles, "The Constitutional Right Against Excessive Punishment," 91 Virginia Law Review (forthcoming May 2005), and "Law, Politics, and Impeachment: The Impeachment of Roh Moo-hyun from a Comparative Constitutional Perspective," 53 American Journal of Comparative Law (forthcoming Spring 2005), and this semester I taught a seminar on criminal law theory, which I very much enjoyed.
I am very excited about teaching and joining the Fordham faculty. I will be teaching Criminal Law and Torts and will continue to write in the areas of criminal law, criminal law theory, and comparative constitutional law.
Send us info on your school's new CrimProf hires, and we'll introduce them to the profession. [Mark Godsey]

But that's where the similarities end between the music of the dawn-tinted singer's confessed idol and that of her rocked-out upstart's sophomore effort, Missundaztood. This time around, Pink's familiar self-loathing is dressed up in rock-queen garb. With help from former Non-Blonde Linda Perry, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, and producer Dallas Austin, the singer fuses new wave electro-pop ("Numb"), retro-dipped dance-pop (first single "Get the Party Started") and old-fashioned Rhythm & Blues ("Misery") with pop-savvy cohesion.
In case you doubt Miss Undaztood's double-fisted authority, "Don't Let Me Get Me" takes intrepid jabs at Britney Spears and even new Arista label head L.A. Reid: "L.A. told me, 'You'll be a pop star/All you have to change is everything you are.'" The bitchy, slapstick hip-hop of "There You Go" and "You Make Me Sick" is replaced with some comparably heady material like the emotive "Family Portrait": "I promise I'll be better/Mommy I'll do anything…Daddy don't leave." There is an inherent sadness to her words, from the socially-minded "Gone to California" to the Perry-penned ballad "Eventually": "I am an opportunity and I knock so softly." Her vulnerability is striking and seemingly more authentic than the ball-busting Philly-brashness of her debut.
Pink's newfound creative authority has made allowances for previously prohibited four-letter words but she draws the line at "fuck." Like the hip-hop clichés of last year's Can't Take Me Home, standard pop/rock melodies and metaphors abound (love=drugs, fights=WWIII) but Pink holds her own throughout tracks like the neo-folk "My Vietnam." Meshed with acoustic and electric guitar riffs and taut drum programming, her powerful delivery saves what could have been an inappropriate comparison to life's everyday challenges. Missundaztood may not be flawless, but it's the multi-sonic platform from which Pink differentiates herself from the pop pack.

Jon Garland has signed with the San Diego Padres, opting to stay in the Golden State for another year. The club may have gotten away with a bit of a steal here, signing the right-hander for just $4.7 million for one year with a $6.75 million option for 2011.
Garland, who grew up in the Los Angeles area, left an 8-year career with the Chicago White Sox behind when he was traded to the Angels in 2008. He then went on to play in the National League, splitting up his time between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Dodgers last season, going a combined 11-13 with a 4.01 ERA.

School closures proposed after voters turn down $106M bond
February 7, 2018
OGDEN, Utah (AP) — A Utah school district is considering closing schools after voters turned down a $106 million bond.
KUTV-TV reports Ogden School District is considering a lease revenue bond or asking voters to approve another bond to replace and rebuild schools after voters turned down the last bond last November.
The district is considering shutting down Gramercy Elementary School.
District spokesman Jer Bates says funding isn't the only reason the school could close. Gramercy Elementary also has seen a 3% decrease in attendance from last year.
The school board wants to hear opinions from the public at its upcoming meetings Feb. 15 and March 4.
