When I say this, I don’t just mean that I am a fan of Joss Whedon. I am sincere. I live and breathe his works, the ever-expanding universe— sometimes funny, sometimes scary, and often heartbreaking—that he has created. A multi- talented writer, director and creator, Joss is responsible for television series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer , Firefly , Angel , and Dollhouse . In 2012 he collaborated with Drew Goddard, writer for Buffy and Angel , to bring us the satirical horror film The Cabin in the Woods . Most recently he has been integrated into the Marvel cinematic universe as the director of The Avengers franchise, as well as earning a creative credit for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. My love for Joss Whedon began in 1998. I was only eleven years old, and through an incredible moment of happenstance, and a bit of boredom, I turned the television channel to the WB and encountered my first episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer . I was instantly smitten with Buffy Summers. She defied the rules and regulations of my conservative southern upbringing.

  • Halo Engine Ancestry Statistics

    Halo Engine Ancestry Statistics

    HALO ENGINE ANCESTRY The Halo 2 engine is a direct-line descendant of the 1992 Pathways into Darkness engine originally written by Bungie for 68000 Macs using MPW and C. Not much remains except math functions and overall architecture, but the engine definitely has old roots. The path of descent runs through PiD to Marathon to Myth to Halo. In recent years it has shifted away from being primarily a player-driven renderer to being primarily a world simulation. I’m going to talk about two main philosophies that you can trace through the engine and most of its components. 1. The unified resource model, editing and import tools, general memory layout, filesystem and streaming architecture. 2. Our approach to runtime data organization, memory allocation and world state.

    Indiana University Maurer School of Law-Bloomington Legal Studies Research Paper Series

    INDIANA UNIVERSITY MAURER SCHOOL OF LAW-BLOOMINGTON LEGAL STUDIES RESEARCH PAPER SERIES Research Paper Number 165 April 2010 JUDICIAL POLITICS, THE RULE OF LAW AND THE FUTURE OF AN ERMINE MYTH Charles Gardner Geyh This paper can be downloaded without charge from the Social Science Research Network electronic library at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1598454 Judicial Politics, the Rule of Law and the Future of an Ermine Myth Charles Gardner Geyh1 According to a Renaissance myth, the ermine would rather die than soil its pristine, white coat. English and later American judges would adopt the ermine as a symbol of the judiciary’s purity and commitment to the rule of law. This “ermine myth” remains central to the legal establishment’s conception of the judicial role: independent judges, the argument goes, disregard extralegal influences and strictly follow the law. In contrast, political scientists had long theorized that judicial independence liberates judges to disregard the law and substitute their extralegal policy preferences. A recent spate of interdisciplinary research, however, has led to an emerging consensus among law professors and political scientists that judges are subject to a complex array of legal and extralegal influences. This emerging scholarly consensus stands in stark contrast to the simplistic and dichotomous public policy debate, where court critics seek to control “activist” judges, whom they accuse of ignoring the law and legislating from the bench, while the legal establishment defends judges and their independence from attack, citing the ermine myth that independent judges are committed solely to upholding the law. This article explores the future of the ermine myth that has guided the legal establishment for centuries.
