And for a taste of irony, for those who don't know what a hashtag is, you're too old. There should be a complimentary list for 14 icons that are new and don't make sense to the codgers. http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=2433 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=2432 Obit: Carroll Shelby, of Shelby Cobra/Mustang fame, dead at 89 http://espn.go.com/dallas/story/_/id/7920192/carroll-shelby-legendary-racer-car-designer-dead-89 Sun, 13 May 12 18:18:13 -0700 Wanted a Shelby Cobra for SO long...

Apparently, you can copyright a magic trick? At least he did the honorable thing, and ASK the guy to stop and try to work out a financial deal before suing. He doesn't just tell him to quit or else. He offers to buy the guy out. Negotiations collapsed, so now they go to court to find a reasonable compromise...like it should be. http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=2408 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=2407 News: US making profit from bank bailouts http://digg.com/newsbar/Business/us_to_make_profit_from_bailouts Tue, 17 Apr 12 20:09:48 -0700 Didn't think I'd see the day....let alone so soon. http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=2407 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=2406 News: Republican Rick Santorum ends campaign for party nomination http://feeds.reuters.com/~r/reuters/topNews/~3/4lC_opU_pY0/us-usa-campaign-santorum-idUSBRE8341DU20120410 Tue, 10 Apr 12 13:49:08 -0700 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=2406 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=2405 Sad: Somalia's soccer, Olympic chairs die in suicide bombing http://espn.go.com/olympics/story/_/id/7773749/somalia-soccer-olympic-leaders-die-suicide-bomb-attack-theater Wed, 04 Apr 12 14:45:04 -0700 So sad.

Now the AL East can get THREE teams in the playoffs instead of just two :-) In 8 of the last 10 years, the wild card team has been from the AL East. The Yankees, Boston and Tampa Bay have held two of the playoffs spots 18 times in the last ten years. Having a second wild card team would have meant 4 more AL East teams, 2 more AL Central teams, and 3 more AL West teams, with one more going to a playoff game between the AL Central and the AL West. In NONE of those instances would the 2nd Wild Card team been the Twins or the Blue Jays. But it MIGHT be sometime... Also, out of the last ten years, if there was a 2nd Wild Card team, only three times would both wild card teams come from the same division. 2011 and 2011 would see two AL East wild card teams, and 2006 would have seen two AL Central wild cards. Interesting stuff. Clearly more beneficial for the AL East. Which is good news for the Blue Jays....if they can ever beat the Yankees, Red Sox, AND Tampa Bay in the same season...not an easy feat. http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=2390 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=2389 Film: 'Heart Stop Beating'-story of replacing a heart with a pump http://vimeo.com/33741794 Fri, 02 Mar 12 13:32:17 -0700 This is SO cool! They take out the heart and install two turbines which continuously move the blood through the body. The pulse itself is not necessary for human life. It is merely the byproduct of the heart's pumping actions. The goal is the movement of blood through the body to deliver oxygen gained from passing through the lungs. Why not have this do it? How reliable is the hardware used? How is it powered? These are my questions. If the hardware is more reliable than the muscle and the power is renewable beyond...say 120 years...sign me the hell up. http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=2389 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=2388 Film: 'Heart Stop Beating'-story of replacing a heart with a pump http://vimeo.com/33741794 Fri, 02 Mar 12 13:13:57 -0700 This is SO cool!

It features REAL teens, speaking in their own language about what ACTUALLY happens to teens. But teens can't see the movie? I realize they can see the movie with an adult...but this is exactly what teens SHOULD be able to see without their parents letting them in. This is about their real lives. How can it be unfit for teens to see? I understand fictional movies having ratings based on content. But this is a documentary about TEEN bullying. It should be able to be seen by teens without restriction. http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=2385 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=2384 News: Comedian Bill Mahers donates $1M to Pres.

Like freeze tag. But instead of tagging, or crawling under them to un-freeze your teammates....you hump them. Yeah. What the hell.... From what you read, the teachers and administrators have done a good job dealing with it. Some parents are 'upset about having to deal with such an issue at their young age.' And the teachers are happy about having to try and explain why they can't play the game? You're the parents! You get to deal with it. Welcome to being a real parent. It's not the teacher's tried to have this happen so you'd have to deal with it. Blame that on letting your kids watch crappy TV....I'm just assuming, of course. http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=2372 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=2371 9USCCA: Gay marriage ban unconstitutional http://feeds.reuters.com/~r/reuters/topNews/~3/yM1_LN0ylU4/us-usa-gaymarriage-california-idUSTRE8160HO20120207 Tue, 07 Feb 12 12:01:42 -0700 Even if voter approved, you can remove someone's civil rights.

Woman is ordered to decrypt laptop (a process I'm not sure if I agree or disagree with yet), has supposedly forgotten the password? Can you really hold her in contempt? You have no way to determine if she has or has not forgotten the password. I realize that this will be a judgement call by the judge (and in latter case, possibly by a jury) to determine if she is telling the truth about forgetting. But, if it is reasonable possible to forget, can you really leave that up to a judge? To indefinitely hold a person in contempt for something that can be reasonably expected to not be their fault?

Two minute, 1600 foot climb allows the rider to reflect, and, maybe more importanlty, really decide. At the top is the go-no-go button. Press the 'FALL' button, and it's all but over. Then 1600 foot drop followed by successively smaller, and, therefore, increasingly G-force imparting loops. If you remain conscious, the loops will impart 'disorientation, anxiety, confusion, and, most importantly, euphoria -- is crowned with GLOC (G-force induced Loss Of Consciousness), during which the body is completely limp and vivid bizarre dreams occur such as being in a maze and unable to get out, or floating in a white space, not knowing who you are, why you are here, etc.' Interesting stuff. It's just a theoretical model (at 1:1600 scale), but it's interesting food for thought. I guess I'm not in that position, but I can't imagine hitting the FALL button...or at least not regreting it after the fall starts. http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=2254 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=2253 News: Obama allows states to opt-out of No Child Left Behind http://rss.cnn.com/~r/rss/cnn_topstories/~3/Rntl92-zLTE/index.html Tue, 27 Sep 11 12:22:14 -0700 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=2253 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=2252 Op-Ed: SAT scores drop to pre-1995 levels Opinion: Alarming drop in SAT scores Tue, 27 Sep 11 12:19:41 -0700 All the children of 'No Child Left Behind' are finally taking the SATs. Huh. How about that. The problem is this. If we shoot to have EVERY kid get a 1150 (an average score), then everyone will be average. If we encourage and help some get 1600 (the high score), it'll bring the average up. See how that works? Yes, I realize that in this scenario, some won't get up to the average; that was the premise behind No Child Left Behind. The problem with that logic is that if you take the test and spell your name correctly, you get an 800. But it takes a lot more prep to score a perfect. Spending time on the lower half barely raises them to 900, while it drives down the high end to more like 1500.

In a world where women are our equals (or superiors) in school and work (women in some large cities now make MORE than their male counterparts), they still expect to be the one treated. Now this isn't true of most women, but still a very large number. The female author writes that men are disappointed to find out that the modern women they were chasing because they were supposed to want the same things (financial independence, career success, fit bodies, and sex) turn out to be "entitled, dishonest, self-involved, slutty, manipulative, shallow, controlling—and did I mention gold-digging?"

Twitter feels that users should be informed of any legal request made of the company. So, instead of just handing over the information requested (like many companies this year), Twitter got it's spine up and ready and challenged the gag order attached. That way, it could notify the users about which the information was requested so that they (the users) could effectively challenge the request in court. I really like this.

Yes, he used a pirated game to test his hack. But that doesn't mean he was hacking it solely to play said games. He was using his hacked one for pirated games. Sure, pretty straightforward logic there. BUT, doing it for other people....not so striaght-forward. Many people just want it modded to play homebrew and indie games. Not pirated ones. If you don't specifically ask him to do it so they can play pirate games...then there's no case there. And even if you did ask him that specifically, does that fact that what he's doing CAN be used only for homebrew, etc. mean that he's guilty? I guess I don't know. http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1930 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1929 News: IL state legislature legalizes same-sex civil unions http://digg.com/news/politics/breaking_illinois_legalized_same_sex_civil_unions Wed, 01 Dec 10 17:01:33 -0700 Gives them the same rights as those provided to spouses. http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1929 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1928 Obit: Empire Strikes Back Director Irvin Kershner Dies at 87 http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/tvMzshasK1w/story01.htm Mon, 29 Nov 10 10:27:14 -0700 Sad.
