Conn. Profs urge deeper investigation in porn-pop-up case

by Grant Robertson Mar 8th 2007


We've been watching the case of "porn pop-up teacher" Julie Amero with stunned amazement. Officials from the lowest to highest levels of Connecticut government have managed to choreograph the perfect comedy of errors, leaving Mrs. Amero's career in shambles and her dignity dangling by a thread in the public square.

A group of twenty-eight computer science professors from eight Connecticut Universities have stepped in on Mrs. Amero's behalf, taking out an ad in the Hartford Courant to air "An Open Letter to Chief State's Attorney Kevin T. Kane."

The professors ask State's Attorney Kane to heed a suggestion from Mark Rasch, former chief of the U.S. Department of Justice cyber-crime unit, who says an independent investigator be brought in to look at the case.

Amero is due to be sentenced on March 28th, 2007.

Build the highest tower with 99 Bricks - Time Waster

Wrapping your mind around a simple game like 99 Bricks is harder than you might imagine. The object of the game is to build the highest possible tower using only 99 pieces. Sounds easy enough, but you're playing with Tetris pieces and distinctly non-Tetris physics. If you screw up, you don't just leave gaps that you could have used to score points, you cause your whole tower to wobble and collapse.

Pieces also don't lock to a grid in 99 Bricks, the way they do in Tetris. You can wind up with pieces slanted diagonally, and there's an edge of the board that your toppled bricks can fall off of. 99 Bricks is kind of like Jenga, in that it's almost as satisfying to watch your tower crumble as it is to play seriously. Once you get the hang of the way the pieces behave, it's an addictive little game.
