It's high time people rallied around this selfless, energetic, and vastly underappreciated African politician who has become so beleaguered as of late.  It's hardly Mr. Mugabe's fault that the Zimbabweans turned out to be such frightful ingrates.

Who's with me?

This thread is for those who are interested in the current status of the Art Bell/Michael Savage suit, but who aren't interested in having to plow through the minutiae of Art Bell's life found in the Art Bell thread to get at it.

I'll start things off:

Art Bell files suit against Michael Savage in US District Court on Nov 30, 2016:

Quote
ART BELL and his wife AIRYN RUIZ BELL have filed suit against syndicated talker MICHAEL SAVAGE, WESTWOOD ONE, and CUMULUS for defamation, invasion of privacy, and intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress. 

The suit, filed WEDNESDAY in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of CALIFORNIA, alleges that on SEPTEMBER 25th, SAVAGE defamed the couple with the comment, "You say UFOs, you wind up in the PHILIPPINES with a 10-year-old hooker and you are off the radio after a number of years. You can’t do UFOs. That’s an in-joke, by the way, for people who understand the business.”

The suit notes that "Ms. BELL has never been a prostitute and was 22 years old when the BELLS married. Also, Mr. BELL was not 'off the radio' because he discussed UFOs or married Ms. BELL. These facts were publicly known and closely followed by many in the radio broadcasting industry and general public."

A request for a retraction or correction was "ignored," the complaint states. "At present, Mr. BELL is strongly considering resumption of his radio broadcasting and journalism careers," the complaint adds. "However, the Statement has harmed his professional reputation and is hindering his efforts to return to broadcasting and journalism."

Can someone please post the court date when it appears online?

Please post pictures of the first calculator (or slide rule) you used and/or your current favourite.  A description of what you like best about the calculator would also be welcome.





(A detailed description of where I last left mine would be most welcome of all.) 

Is there a way to invert my avatar so that it displays upside down?

I ask because my avatar was upside down in my primitive photo editor, but when I uploaded it, it appeared right side up.  Am I missing something?  Or is there, perhaps, a workaround for this that would allow me to achieve the desired effect?

(Lloyd Bridges isn't nearly so amusing right-side up.) 



ETA: I have already tried the "avatar from url" option and that didn't work.
