Recently while listening to Jay Severin on my car radio, I heard him mention an Andrea Mitchell report on MSNBC in which Mitt Romney’s speech was edited into the Twilight Zone. He was talking about one thing and Mitchell turned it into a George H.W. Bush moment at the supermarket scanner (Remember that one when the lamestream media was pushing a guy named Bill Clinton back in ’92?). Selective editing to seemingly deceive an audience is very unbecoming of NBC-TV, isn’t it? Is Obama Pathological?

    STRAT-O-MATIC REVIEW Devoted exclusively to the Strat-O-Matic game fans, with the consent of the Strat-o-Matic Game Co. I Vol. II-I March 1972 35¢ I SOM And The Computer Steve Checkosky, a professor at Lake Forest College, Lake Forest, Illinois, has come up with the first results after programming Strat-O-Matic baseball to be played by a computer. Steve, whose specialty is statistics, computer programming and psychology and who also heads a research program at nearby Downey VA Hospital as well as serves as ~4nsulting editor for a psychology journal, admits he doesn't have a lot of spare time to play ths- Strat-O-Matic games, although he thoroughly enjoys them. Steve writes: "In order to mere efficiently pursue SOM as a hobby, the idea occurred to me to write computer programs which would actually play the games. Managing or coaching strategies, contingency plans, substitutions, etc., could actually be built into the programs themselves. I have had some experience with this type of thing (computer simulation) in graduate school and know that such programs can be written. (In any event, I was always more turned on by the idea of being a general manager then a manager or coach, anyway.) "Should I ever get these programs completed, the 'general manager' possibilities would be vast. Consider the baseball game: get the computer to playa 162-game season with the existing rosters. If you don't ask the computer to print much detail about the individual games, such a season could most likely be played in a couple of hours of actual comput.er time (we have a slow computer).

  • How Agency Law Decides the True Owner of the 2004 Red Sox Final-Out Baseball
    A FIELDER’S CHOICE: HOW AGENCY LAW DECIDES THE TRUE OWNER OF THE 2004 RED SOX FINAL-OUT BASEBALL * BRIAN E. TIERNEY “The Boston Red Sox, the symbol of heartbreak and human foible to sports fans for nearly a century, are world champions. No more curses. No more moral victories. No more ‘next year.’”1 I. INTRODUCTION The minute hand crept toward midnight on October 27, 2004. A collective silence lingered over New England, as though the entire region had been holding its breath for the last eighty-six years. The Boston Red Sox had already made baseball history in the American League Championship Series (ALCS) where they came back from a three game deficit to sweep the final four games against their arch rival – the New York Yankees.2 Now the Red Sox were only one out away from sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals and clinching the World Series Championship that had eluded them for so long. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, a runner on second and a 1-0 count, Red Sox closer Keith Foulke threw an 89 mph fastball letter high over the outside corner of home * Brian E. Tierney is a third-year law student at the University of Hawaii, William S. Richardson School of Law, and expects to earn his Juris Doctor in May 2006. The author would like to thank his brothers, Kevin and Steven Tierney, for their valuable input throughout the writing process. 1 Mike Dodd, Curse RIP: 1918-2004, USA TODAY, Oct. 28, 2004, at 1C. 2 There’s reason to grumble in the Bronx; Yankees’ history seems little help as 3-0 lead slip away, HOUS.
