Tupac Hologram May Be Coming To An Arena Near You

Visual-effects house behind the 2-D image tells Wall Street Journal that Dr. Dre has a vision beyond Coachella for his virtual friend.

Tupac Shakur has made quite an impact on pop culture since his death in 1996, so we shouldn't be too surprised that his eye-popping and downright magical materialization at the Coachella music festival on Sunday night alongside Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre is dominating the headlines.

The spectacular surprise has caused such a stir that there's a chance we might be seeing a lot more of this "new" Tupac very soon. According to a Wall Street Journal interview with Ed Ulbrich of Digital Domain Media Group Inc., the visual-effects house responsible for making the rapper's image (as well as the virtual versions of Brad Pitt in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"), there are plans to take the 2-D image on tour. (Although 'Pac's ghostly figure has been widely reported as a hologram, Ulbrich told the Journal that its technical description is a 2-D image and not a hologram, which is 3-D.)

Moving forward with discussions of a tour are representatives for Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg who, according to a source close to the project, will be meeting to discuss the logistics involved in scheduling a string of performances with the virtual Tupac. The report cites one option would be to tour in stadiums and involve other hip-hop stars like Eminem, 50 Cent and Wiz Khalifa. Another option is a limited tour that would only feature Dre, Snoop Dogg and the virtual Tupac in smaller arenas.

"We worked with Dr. Dre on this, and it was Dre's vision to bring this back to life," Nick Smith — president of AV Concepts, the San Diego company that projected and staged the image — exclusively told MTV News on Monday (April 16). "It was his idea from the very beginning and we worked with him and his camp to utilize the technology to make it come to life. ... You can take their likenesses and voice and ... take people that haven't done concerts before or perform music they haven't sung and digitally re-create it."

"This is not found footage. This is not archival footage. This is an illusion [and] this is just the beginning," Ulbrich told the Journal. "Dre has a massive vision for this."

Alleged Oakland campus shooter: I'm 'deeply sorry'

Reuters

One Goh is seen in this handout booking photo from the Alameda County Sheriffs Department released to Reuters April 3.

By Alastair Jamieson, msnbc.com

One Goh, the man charged with killing seven people at the Oikos University Christian college in Oakland, California, has said he is ?deeply sorry? for the families of his victims, in an interview from jail.

?Families are so angry with me,? he told CBS San Francisco at the Santa Rita Jail, Calif. ?(But) if I tell them sorry, it doesn?t bring anybody back.?



Goh, 43, a native of South Korea and former student at the school, has been charged with seven counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder at the Oikos University ? the deadliest U.S. campus attack since the shooting at Virginia Tech in 2007. He has not yet entered a plea.

Police have said Goh was targeting an administrator who had been involved in his financial dispute with the school.

When he learned she wasn't there, police say, he began shooting in classrooms. Police are also investigating whether Goh might have been seeking multiple targets.

CBS San Francisco reporter Julie Goodrich said that as they spoke, Goh kept his head down. His eyes were bloodshot and at one point he started to cry, she said.

She added that he spoke English clearly, despite accounts in the aftermath of the shootings that he had struggled with the language and was teased because of his lack of fluency.

?I was studying to be a nurse ? but it didn?t happen. It is complicated to explain,? he told her.

Meanwhile, the director of the nursing program at Oikos college, said her students don't want to return to the classroom building where the shootings took place.

Ellen Cervellon said Wednesday that nursing students at Oikos are still traumatized by the April 2 shooting and are looking for a new space off campus to hold classes. Instructors say they are not sure when classes will resume.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Present are there a good e-mail explaining the way you really are a ?super valuable customer? and so, you recruit a outstanding discount ? and lo and behold ? this is a promotion to look at straight into our own retailer to purchase far more stuff and then we could make a lot more quarterly profits and also stakeholders collateral? Don?t you think intriguing the e-mails take up a popping up at the end of each and every month. The actual query I?ve is actually; are I truly a respected buyer when the company also routed in which exact same, actual marketing and advertising and also discount e-mail to in excess of 10 million some other clients? Okay thus you happen to be having a laugh, yet why don?t we just discuss this with regard to 2nd will we all?

You already know the sunlight transforms off of, if a person click the key that the front door routinely triggers when it?s sealed the lighting within freezer is triggered, so that you suppose you shut the threshold how the light furthermore is triggered. However, you do not know which without a doubt, you only see the regulations of physics, or at least principle legislations associated with science, as well as suppose the sunlight becomes off. You do not know without a doubt your ?dear special respected client,Inch e-mail actually sought out in order to Tens of millions of others in the exact same format, however, you believe that does.
Even so, simply because I?ve unique which i accomplish on the internet, and often get diverse company accounts in a variety of suppliers along with shops from which I order from, I often get the very same e-mail from your very same organization, well, i no more feel that they are transmitting exactly the same e-mail over to everybody. I realize they may be, given that they directed the same an e-mail in my experience two times, and sometimes thrice.
Nonetheless, recently one thing very worthwhile transpired, My partner and i noticed the actual e-mail has been customized to the business model, and the e-mails are not a similar. I was thinking to be able to myself personally that is great the computer systems are becoming better with sizing upward his or her buyer, along with working out what they need, as well as transmitting all of them more of a personalized e-mail. This is a a valuable thing, plus it specially is sensible since it assists in easing unsolicited mail, and only gives you the right information you need or may wish through focused advertising.

Indeed, I don?t contain the initial dilemma, at the very least not really, as a young man, and secondly like a guy, I don?t require a bra, so obviously, a lot more perform should be done, and maybe many of these targeted e-mails pertaining to marketing and advertising will in reality help in reducing the particular non stop onslaught and deluge associated with undesired junk e-mail. Make sure you take into account pretty much everything as well as think onto it.

Holder: Administration will respond to judge in health care case

The Attorney General said the Texas judge who asked for a letter recognizing the court's authority will receive an appropriate reply.

By Carla K. Johnson,?The Associated Press / April 4, 2012

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Wednesday that the Justice Department will respond "appropriately" to a federal appellate judge in Texas who demanded a letter recognizing federal courts' authority to strike down laws passed by Congress.

Skip to next paragraph

Holder spoke a day after 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Jerry Smith questioned President Barack Obama's remarks this week about an "unelected" court possibly striking down the president's health care overhaul. Smith, during oral arguments in a separate challenge to the health law, asked the Justice Department for a three-page, single-spaced letter affirming the federal court's authority.

When asked during a Wednesday news conference in Chicago what an appropriate response to Smith would be, Holder said, "I think what the president said a couple of days ago was appropriate. He indicated that we obviously respect the decisions that courts make."

"Under our system of government ... courts have the final say on the constitutionality of statutes," Holder said. "The courts are also fairly deferential when it comes to overturning statutes that the duly elected representatives of the people, Congress, pass."

The White House, meanwhile, struggled for a third day to explain Obama's original remark that a Supreme Court reversal of the case would be "unprecedented."

White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters in Washington that Obama does not regret using that word, and he insisted Obama was not trying to bully the justices by weighing in before the case is decided.

"It's the reverse of intimidation," Carney said during a lengthy defense of Obama's comments. "He's simply making an observation about precedent and the fact that he expects the court to adhere to that precedent."

A reversal would not be unprecedented, even under the very narrow terms Obama and his spokesman later attached to his comments, but it would be very unusual.

Obama had sought to clarify his remarks under questioning at The Associated Press annual meeting on Tuesday. There, Obama said he was referring only to a specific class of constitutional law, and to the pattern of judicial deference to Congress exemplified by the upholding of New Deal legislation in the 1930s.

Carney on Wednesday said Obama's remarks were the object of criticism "only because a handful of people didn't seem to understand what he was referring to."

Carney also repeated Holder's assurance that the Justice Department would comply with the Texas judge's demand for a letter of explanation.

Smith on Tuesday had seemed to take offense to comments Obama made Monday that he didn't believe the Supreme Court would take the "unprecedented" step of overturning a law passed by a strong majority of Congress. He said he wanted reassurance that Holder and the Justice Department recognized judicial authority.

"The letter needs to be at least three pages, single spaced, no less and it needs to be specific. It needs to make specific reference to the president's statements," Smith said during a case brought in part by a spine and joint hospital in East Texas that is challenging the constitutionality of a portion of the health care law.

Smith's office in Houston said Wednesday the judge would not be commenting on the issue because the case before his court still is pending. Smith, a native Texan, was nominated to the appeals court by President Ronald Reagan and confirmed by the Senate in 1987.

RECOMMENDED: How much do you know about health-care reform? Take our quiz!

In Chicago, Holder said he's confident the Supreme Court will find the Affordable Care Act constitutional "given the adequate, able representation" the law had during arguments before the justices. He said Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. "did a great job."

Speaking at the same Chicago press conference during a meeting on health care fraud prevention, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said her department is continuing to implement the health care law without contingency plans for a Supreme Court ruling against it.

If the court rules against the law, Sebelius said, "we'll make efforts to deal with that. But at this point, to lay out the range of options and spend a lot of time and energy on what-ifs is not a very productive use of our time."
