    ISIS agent, Sterling Archer, launches his Pirate King Theme FX Cartoon Series Archer Gets Its First Hip Hop Video courtesy of Brooklyn duo, Drop it Steady Fans of the FX cartoon series Archer do not need to be told of its genius. The show was created by many of the same writers who brought you the Fox series Arrested Development. Similar to its predecessor, Archer has built up a strong and loyal fanbase. As with most popular cartoons nowadays, hip-hop artists tend to flock to the animated world and Archer now has it's hip-hop spin off. Brooklyn-based music duo, Drop It Steady, created a fun little song and video sampling the show. The duo drew their inspiration from a series sub plot wherein Archer became a "pirate king" after his fiancée was murdered on their wedding day in front of him. For Archer fans, the song and video will definitely touch a nerve as Drop it Steady turns the story of being a pirate king into a forum for discussing recent break ups. Video & Music Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?bapupbzlw1tzt5a Official Website: http://www.dropitsteady.com Drop it Steady on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/dropitsteady About Drop it Steady: Some say their music played a vital role in the Arab Spring of 2011. Others say the organizers of Occupy Wall Street were listening to their demo when they began to discuss their movement. Though it has yet to be verified, word that the first two tracks off of their upcoming EP, The Most Interesting EP In The World, were recorded at the ceremony for Prince William and Katie Middleton and are spreading through the internets like wild fire.

Not quite aghast, but definitely shocked. For one thing, Sterling has never been much of a reader. In fact, to the best of my knowledge, the only things he ever read growing up were pornographic comic books (we used to call them “Tijuana bibles,” but I’m sure that’s no longer considered polite, what with all these immigrants driving around every- where in their lowriders, listening to raps and shooting all the jobs).

This publication is an open access article. businessperspectives.org Investment Management and Financial Innovations, Volume 7, Issue 1, 2010 Hicham Benjelloun (Qatar) Evans and Archer – forty years later Abstract The question of how large a diversified portfolio needs to be to significantly reduce risk is an important question in the academic field of finance. The first paper devoted to this question was Evans and Archer (1968). Later research has criticized the outcome and methodology of this paper, claiming that alternative weighting schemes or other measures of risk should have been considered. I argue that Evans and Archer’s paper is still relevant. I use two weighting schemes, two measures of risk and different time periods to find that 40-50 stocks is all that is needed to achieve diversification in the US stock market. Keywords: portfolio size, diversification, stock market, Evans and Archer. JEL Classification: G11. Introduction© the dispersion of portfolios terminal wealth around the market portfolio’s terminal wealth. This measure In 1968, Evans and Archer published in the Journal is cross sectional.

  • History of the U.S. Attorneys
    Bicentennial Celebration of the United States Attorneys 1789 - 1989 "The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor– indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one." QUOTED FROM STATEMENT OF MR. JUSTICE SUTHERLAND, BERGER V. UNITED STATES, 295 U. S. 88 (1935) Note: The information in this document was compiled from historical records maintained by the Offices of the United States Attorneys and by the Department of Justice. Every effort has been made to prepare accurate information. In some instances, this document mentions officials without the “United States Attorney” title, who nevertheless served under federal appointment to enforce the laws of the United States in federal territories prior to statehood and the creation of a federal judicial district. INTRODUCTION In this, the Bicentennial Year of the United States Constitution, the people of America find cause to celebrate the principles formulated at the inception of the nation Alexis de Tocqueville called, “The Great Experiment.” The experiment has worked, and the survival of the Constitution is proof of that.

  • Aisha Tyler: Interactive Awards Emcee Finds Perfection in Imperfections
    Aisha Tyler: Interactive Awards Emcee Finds Perfection in Imperfections $% E&'(% G)*+), isha Tyler is smarter than most of us, and the comedian, pod- caster, movie/TV/voice/game actor (her credits include FX’s Archer, XIII, Babymakers and halo: reach) and host of !e Talk can induce a dizzying sense of inadequacy. Fortunately, that feeling is eclipsed by the relief she instills that there is hope for humanity after ROBERT ADAM MAYER all. Her “Girl on Guy” podcast (named iTunes’ “Best New Comedy Podcast” in 2011) is a frank, profound and ribald commentary on men’s obsessions hosted by a “guy’s girl” who was raised by a single dad and routinely delights an audience of 60 percent men. Tyler puts it frankly: “I want permission to be whatever I am. Men should be free to be who they are.” Her guests are people such as Eugene Mirman, Anthony Bourdain and Reggie Watts. “Girl on Guy”—originally a TV show she says no one wanted—is now in its third season and has sur- passed !ve million downloads. "is is quite a success on many levels, including the obvious. “Overall, there’s a huge gender gap in podcasting,” Tyler explains. “I’m probably one of the only women in the top 10. I think the dearth of women in podcasting re#ects the dearth of women in comedy gener- ally.” Of course, she adds, “It’s only helpful. Whatever latent biases in the !eld of comedy lead to women leveraging tech, it still has to be good.” It is logical to compare “Girl on Guy” to Marc Maron’s shame-spiral comedy podcast, and Maron has been a major role model.

  • Optimized Multi-Sensor Application in the ARCHER Automated TC Center
    Optimized multi‐sensor application in the ARCHER automated center‐fixing algorithm Anthony Wimmers and Christopher Velden Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies University of Wisconsin ‐ Madison R&D supported by the Naval Research Lab and Office of Naval Research (PE 0602435N) Operational evaluation by the NOAA Joint Hurricane Testbed 1 Objectives • Create an automated, real‐time TC center‐fixing tool that intelligently employs all available multispectral satellite data. • Provide objective fix guidance for TC analysts/forecasters based on algorithm results. • Integrate the output into a track history. ARCHER: Automated Rotational Center Hurricane Eye Retrieval 2 Project • R&D of ARCHER supported by NRL/ONR • The two‐year project with the Joint Hurricane Testbed includes: 1. Validation of the ARCHER scheme under simulated real‐time conditions 2. If approved, implement an experimental version of ARCHER within JHT framework 3. Final evaluation and adaptations to provide an operational, real‐time algorithm (This presentation focuses on #1, with a discussion of the impacts on 2 and 3.) 3 Potential Benefits of ARCHER To resolve a TC fix, assume an analyst considers all available geostationary images and polar satellite sources. That would include near‐infrared, far‐infrared, visible, multiple‐frequency microwave, and scatterometer observations (plus non‐satellite sources…) All of the above data sources have inherent limitations and strengths based on both sensor type/capability and situation. ARCHER will integrate all of the above information to provide an objective and quick interpretation of the TC path as indicated by the available multispectral satellite data, with corresponding information on position confidence and the most reliable satellite sources.
