"Pro/Con" 2:39 “Pro/Con” is a song about the light & dark parts inside all of us. I shot the video in Culver City, CA on January 8, 2012 with the help of a lot of talented people, who are listed below. Please share with your friends and help spread the word... If you want more, you can visit http://mrnapkins.com, follow me on Twitter (@zachsherwin), and buy my album on iTunes. I'm a vegan Jew, so please don't take “flavor like provolone and prosciutto” too literally. Credits and lyrics: Beat by Upryz (http://upryz.com) Director/Director of Photography: Jacki Moonves Editor/Effects: Jon Berkas Production Designer: Sam Rhymes Sound: Pon Franco Gaffer: Chris Saulnier Special thanks: Rita Sherwin, Lloyd Ahlquist, Gabe Michael, Rafael Serrano, Flynn Adam, Marc Chester, Atul Singh, Nice Peter, Maker Studios, Alexis Brodey, Ian Brownell, and Heather Goldberg. “PRO/CON” What I want to provide is a bit of context Help you get with the program, bring you on board with the concept Positive vs. negative like a proton-electron contest I just hope that a verse this hot is not gonna make my palms sweat Rap professional comin' atcha from every angle like a protractor Flavor like provolone and prosciutto, written down or freestyled pro bono Rarely profane, not fuelled by propane, I would rather eat rappers to get my protein And I'd proclaim myself pretty proficient at procuring my preferred provisions Profoundly prolific, this MC is; proprietor of fire like Prometheus Ego's as big as my nose is, aka my prodigiously-proportioned proboscis Props to producers spinnin' those records, and b-boys spinnin' like propellers And all my graf writers with paint and propellant? I love 'em man! But on the other hand: Sometimes I lack confidence and as a consequence I can't concentrate My negative thoughts just congregate as I contemplate with consternation My constant content constipation. Writer's block is like confirmation that No concert connoisseur would consider me a star in his consummate-MC constellation. And there's no consolation for my contempt for me. Au contraire: I'm convinced that congested and confounded is what I'm condemned to be. I'm the opposite of conceited. I should have stopped and quit and conceded long ago I'm out of control and I need to confront these demons Everybody has pros and cons, happy and sad emoticons Offs, ons, yesses, nos, yins, yangs, cons, pros Each of us contains a proliferation of contradictions That conspire to promote a profusion of confusion and provoke conniption fits That leave us twitchin' and twisted and with emotional bruisin' Man I'm talking convulsions, also contortions, contusions But I'll proffer this proposal, and convey my conviction That being prone to inner conflict and contention is just the proverbial human condition There is no magic bullet, no projectile that can be conjured All we can do is proceed and continue, lace up our Pro-Keds and Converse No procrastination, gotta go hard like concrete, get proactive Concoct that projection, construct that prototype, make it happen I'm pro-creation, like I was the consequences of promiscuous Conjugal relations that are not protected by condoms, prophylactics, and contraceptives Wide-open palms protruding, proving I'm no con artist I meant every word, prologue to conclusion Title: “Pro/Con.” Artist: Napkins.

James O'Keefe's Voting Stunt Has State, Feds Investigating

[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 03:00:03 01/13/12
Let's get this out of the way: James O'Keefe, the wannabe gotcha journalist who can't hide his punk stupidity , is a big, fat liar . If he directs his hidden camera at you, you can be sure that what turns up will be wildly edited and quickly discredited . O'Keefe loves to go after liberal stalwarts: ACORN, NPR, voting and democracy. You know, basically things that aren't at all threats to anything other than the mindset that we're a center-right nation. In his latest stunt, he tried to "prove" that voting fraud was rampant, with dead people actually voting in the New Hampshire primary. Except.... > With his last set of videos largely seen as meaningless and pathetic , his fundraising in shambles , and his allies leaving him in disgust , O'Keefe clearly hopes to press this non-issue to revive his standing in the conservative movement. As always , the Daily Caller is happy to help out, already trumpeting the "bombshell video" that they received "exclusively" from O'Keefe. In the service of this aim, O'Keefe and associate Spencer Meads visited a number of polling locations during the January 10 New Hampshire primaries armed with hidden cameras. At each polling location, the videographer in question would approach a poll worker who was checking in voters and ask the poll worker if a recently deceased voter's name is on the rolls. When the poll worker, assuming that the right-wing operative is presenting themselves as that person, attempts to give them a ballot, the videographer says that they don't have their ID and leaves.[..] But O'Keefe's claim [of rampant fraud] aside, there is simply no evidence that such fraud occurs more often then, say, community organizations are asked to help set up child sex rings. In a 2007 report , the Brennan Center for Justice reported that there are a "handful" of cases when votes have actually cast in the names of the deceased, compared to thousands of such allegations that ultimately proved fruitless . Again, this whole conservative bugaboo demanding Voter ID to prevent voter fraud is a solution to a non-existent problem, and one that has been shown to actually prevent legitimate voting from taking place . But convicted parolee O'Keefe may have reached too far: > [E]lection law experts tell TPM that O’Keefe’s allies could face criminal charges on both the federal and state level for procuring ballots under false names, and that his undercover sting doesn’t demonstrate a need for voter ID laws at all. Federal law bans not only the casting of, but the “procurement” of ballots “that are known by the person to be materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent under the laws of the State in which the election is held.” Hamline University law professor David Schultz told TPM that there’s “no doubt” that O’Keefe’s investigators violated the law. “In either case, if they were intentionally going in and trying to fraudulently obtain a ballot, they violated the law,” Schultz said. “So right off the bat, what they did violated the law.” The NH Attorney General's office and the US Attorneys' office in NH have both issued statements that they are launching investigations. Unfortunately, it looks at first blush that the NH AG's office is focusing more on O'Keefe's allegation of the ease of voter fraud than the fraud that O'Keefe himself is committing. And if that is the case, there needs to be pushback immediately. O'Keefe deserves no such legitimization of his work with his history. Luckily, there are some in NH that see that clearly : > Officials in Nashua and Manchester said the filmmaker should be arrested. “They should be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. When I was in the Senate, I always heard, ‘This never happens.' This is proof this happens,” said Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas. “People who pull stunts like this should be prosecuted,” Nashua City Clerk Paul Bergeron said. Actually, it doesn't happen, Mayor Gatsas. The video shows no votes cast. But it sure shows O'Keefe and his helpers trying to interfere with the voting process, which is a Class D Felony. Not exactly something someone on parole would want to be charged with, is it? > Actually, the would-be voter gets his hands on ballots only nine times in the 10-minute, seven-second Project Veritas video. In one, the clerk directly asks the person if he is the man listed on the checklist. At that point, the person said he was just checking to see if the checklist designates the voter as deceased. In another, the dead person is not on the checklist, and the clerk encourages the person to register to vote. Another time, the would-be voter left after poll workers started asking question about the name he gave, Manchester City Clerk Matt Normand said. “It just so happens the ward moderator recognized the name as not being that person,” Normand said. The moderator, Gloria Pilotte, asked to speak to the undercover voter to see if there was some mistake. He left before they had a chance to speak. “He never got a ballot,” Normand said. That instance is not on the video.

Brian Beckman: Hidden Markov Models, Viterbi Algorithm, LINQ, Rx and Higgs Boson

[LESS INFO] 72 VIEWS | ADDED 12:00:00 12/25/11
It's been WAY too long since we've had Brian Beckman sharing knowledge, insights and perspectives on Channel 9. This changes now! Needless to say, I was incredibly happy to spend an hour with Brian learning all about what he's up to these days. Not surprisingly, he's writing code and employing Rx and monads to solve very interesting problems. In this conversation (a code lesson, algorithm survey, a splash of random topical diversion), Brian explains and demonstrates his latest endeavor: implementing the Viterbi algorithm in C#. What's the Viterbi algorithm, Brian? What are hidden Markov models? What are you using this stuff for? Where does Rx fit into this? What's going on? By the way, it's awesome to learn that a Niner has been sharing C# monadic implementations with Brian (state monad, maybe monad). Of course, no conversation with Brian - a physicist by training and a software architect at Microsoft - is complete without talking about some current physics problem: Finding the elusive Higgs Boson is all the rage these days, so we talk about what it means. Brian also shares insights on Haskell, functional and hybrid programming languages (C# is imperative, but it provides functional capabilities like LINQ, for example, upon which Rx is built (Rx is LINQ-to-Streams or observable sequences of events, really)...). We also finally discuss his previous work at MS that we never got a chance to talk to him about while he was doing it. Before joining the Bing Mobile team, Brian was working on a project to create a new functional programming language. What was it? Thank you, Brian! Happy holidays from Channel 9 wherever you are and whatever, if anything, you're celebrating! Notes and More: The code Brian demos (download it, unzip it, launch VS, open the solution, then watch this video and play along): https://github.com/rebcabin/DotNetExtensionsImproved From Wikipedia - information on Markov and Viterbi: A hidden Markov model ( HMM ) is a statistical Markov model in which the system being modeled is assumed to be a Markov process with unobserved (hidden) states The Viterbi algorithm is a dynamic programming algorithm for finding the most likely sequence of hidden states – called the Viterbi path – that results in a sequence of observed events, especially in the context of Markov information sources , and more generally, hidden Markov models .
