AMATO-MCCOY With digital technologies occupying increasing space in our minds and lives, it’s no surprise that many of this year’s award winners took honors for innovations in the areas of marketing and merchandising, or that a number aligned themselves with another big trend that is making waves as technology makes more things possible: mass one-to-one customization. Our winners include a company that doesn’t produce a product until it pre-sells enough of the item to manufacture it, and another that inspired its customers with a study revealing the collective results that could accrue to the U.S. population – including, perhaps ironically, 14 billion fewer hours spent online – if everybody ran. 8 MAY 2015 • www.apparelmag.com You’ll also find out about a dry suit that lets you disrobe halfway and a shapewear garment that doesn’t pose health risks. You’ll learn how several companies are transforming medical scrubs to meet modern- day needs, while many others are gaining deep insights into their supply chains — and getting closer to their customers — by dumping their legacy systems for connected systems that allow them to better harness the increasing mass of data available to them.

    PINBALL NVRAM GAME LIST This list was created to make it easier for customers to figure out what type of NVRAM they need for each machine. Please consult the product pages at www.pinitech.com for each type of NVRAM for further information on difficulty of installation, any jumper changes necessary on your board(s), a diagram showing location of the RAM being replaced & more. *NOTE: This list is meant as quick reference only. On Williams WPC and Sega/Stern Whitestar games you should check the RAM currently in your machine since either a 6264 or 62256 may have been used from the factory. On Williams System 11 games you should check that the chip at U25 is 24-pin (6116). See additional diagrams & notes at http://www.pinitech.com/products/cat_memory.php for assistance in locating the RAM on your board(s). PLUG-AND-PLAY (NO SOLDERING) Games below already have an IC socket installed on the boards from the factory and are as easy as removing the old RAM and installing the NVRAM (then resetting scores/settings per the manual). • BALLY 6803 → 6116 NVRAM • SEGA/STERN WHITESTAR → 6264 OR 62256 NVRAM (check IC at U212, see website) • DATA EAST → 6264 NVRAM (except Laser War) • CLASSIC BALLY → 5101 NVRAM • CLASSIC STERN → 5101 NVRAM (later Stern MPU-200 games use MPU-200 NVRAM) • ZACCARIA GENERATION 1 → 5101 NVRAM **NOT** PLUG-AND-PLAY (SOLDERING REQUIRED) The games below did not have an IC socket installed on the boards.

  • Dirty Harry and the Real Constitution Michael Stokes Paulsent
    REVIEW Dirty Harry and the Real Constitution Michael Stokes Paulsent The Constitution and CriminalProcedure: First Principles. Akhil Reed Amar. Yale University Press, 1997. Pp xi, 272. I. PROLOGUE: DIRTY HARRY, 1977 I didn't see Dirty Harry until my freshman year in college, in 1977, at a $1 Midnight Madness showing at the university center. But it was a memorable event: a rowdy, college audience cheering as one for the quintessential 1970s anti-hero hero, hard-bitten Inspector Harry Callaghan of the San Francisco Police Depart- ment, played by the squinting Clint Eastwood, as he did battle with a truly evil serial killer/child-kidnapper-and with the up- side-down, criminal-coddling legal system that freed this monster to kill and terrorize more victims. It would be dramatizing to say that this flick led me to law school (and to my brief stint as a federal prosecutor), but one scene does remain blazed in my memory twenty years later. In- spector Callaghan-"Dirty Harry'--has agreed to carry the ran- t Associate Professor of Law, University of Minnesota Law School. The reader should be aware that Akhil Amar and I were accidental law school roommates at Yale in 1982-83 and argued frequently and vehemently about some of the very same issues discussed here. Our disagreements remained friendly, however, and Professor Amar and I remain friends today (despite our disagreements). Friendship does not keep me from taking potshots at him in print, when he deserves them (as he does, to some extent, here). See, for example, Michael Stokes Paulsen, Double Jeopardy Law After Akhil Amar: Some Civil Procedure Analogies and Inquiries,26 Cumb L Rev 23, 23 n 1 (1995).

  • Ten Films That Audie Murphy Never Made by Club Member Bill Russo of Stoughton, Massachusetts
    April, 1996 Dear Audie fans, Welcome to our second newsletter of 1996. Because of the abundance of articles for this issue, I shall skip the normal formalities and go directly to the materials at hand. *********************************************************************** Ten Films That Audie Murphy Never Made By club member Bill Russo of Stoughton, Massachusetts Actors often pass on movies, or find scheduling conflicts that prevent them from making important movies that might have changed the direction of their careers. In Audie Murphy’s case the missed opportunities are particularly wrenching because Audie so desperately needed a first-class hit, especially late in his movie career. Here is a list of the films that should be wonderful additions to the Audie Murphy pantheon, but now they must stand just as sad examples of what might have been. * BACK FROM HELL. This was meant to be the sequel to his autobiography. With a focus on his later years in Hollywood and his post-trauma stress, production under Desi Arnaz suffered from decisions about whether Murphy could be presented as a victim. In one script version Murphy would help an alcoholic, stressed veteran to adjust to life after the War. Audie’s friend threatened to sue if they filmed such a false story; Audie had always been unhappy with the unsanitized version of To Hell and Back. No one wanted to film a story about the real Audie Murphy and his difficult personal problems. Unable to settle on a focus, the idea for the movie languished for years, regularly reported by tabloids as a possibility, but it never happened.

Beyond Punks in Empty Chairs: An Imaginary Conversation with Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry—Toward Peace Through Spiritual Justice Mark L. Jones 11 U. MASS L. REV. 312 ABSTRACT This Article is based on a presentation at the 2012 conference on “Struggles for Recognition: Individuals, Peoples, and States” co-sponsored by Mercer University, the Concerned Philosophers for Peace, and the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, and it seeks to help combat our human tendency to demonize the Other and thus to contribute in some small way to the reduction of unnecessary conflict and violence. The discussion takes the form of a conversation in a bar between four imagined protagonists, who have participated in the conference, and Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry, who is having a bad day questioning his immersion in a violent world.
