Lawyer Petr Koci just cost himself a year of work as an attorney. The Czech lawyer raised eyebrows and tempers when he called the expertise of a Jewish witness into question. His remarks were offensive and basically concluded that because the witness was Jewish, the testimony he would give against his (Koci's client) a member of the far-right Workers' Party of Social Justice, would be biased.
Koci may appeal his one year disbarment, however, the damage he has done to his reputation and credibility will live with him.

A bus driver in Cleveland was just having a bad day. He was being taunted throughout his shift by an aggressive black female passenger. He stood up and falcon punched the teen, hard. The Cleveland bus driver delivered a solid fist square to the jaw of the passenger. According to those riding the bus, the girl was bantering the driver for a while. Cleveland news reports The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA)is investigating the passenger being violently attacked and thrown off the bus, with video evidence and a potential online sensation making its way through the air waves.
The video is available on youtube. This reminds Percolated News of the time two men got into a fight on a bus, and the "AMALANCE" was called. It's only a matter of time before this makes its way into the Tosh.0 show.

New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter will miss the rest of the MLB baseball playoffs after injuring himself in the game against the Detroit Tigers Saturday Night. Jeter suffered an injury to his left ankle as the game went into extra innings. Jeter dived to catch a ball hit by Jhonny Peralta. No doubt the Yankee baseball team as well as fans are disappointed to hear this news. This will certainly affect the teams performance for the rest of the season because Derek Jeter was one of their prime athletes.
Joe Girardi said that Jeter's injury will need at least 3 months to heal. The Yankees manager certainly doesn't want to permanently injure his star player. That being said, if the New York Yankees make it to the World Series, it would be a surprise if Jeter didn't ice the ankle, wrap it up, and go out onto the field.
Jayson Nix will replace Jeter on the field. Game 2 of the ALCS is October 13th. It will be interesting to see how this injury plays out in regards to the batting line up as well as team cohesion.
The fractured ankle should be completely healed for Spring training next year, but that does little to help the spirits of Yankee baseball.

He was shot with a RPG much like those found in Call of Duty. He was murdered when the Benghazi consulate was attacked. This resulted in the death of Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. President Obama called this attack on an American diplomat "outrageous."

Example—Gauss Jordan Method
Solve the following system of equations:

Your goal is to obtain the following:

**Use the multiplicative inverse to obtain 1 and the
additive inverse to obtain 0.
First, create an augmented matrix as follows:

Step 1: We need 1 in
the position Row 1, Column 1. To obtain
this, we multiply the original Row 1 by

The new first row looks like this:

Step 2: We need 0 in
the position Row 2, Column 1. To obtain
this, we multiply the new Row 1 by 2 and add to the original Row 2. The new Row 2 looks like this:

Step 3: We need 0 in
the position Row 3, Column 1. To obtain
this, we multiply the new Row 1 by -3 and add to the original Row 3. The new Row 3 looks like this:

**Our matrix now looks like the following:

Step 4: We need a 1
in position Row 2, Column 2. To obtain
this, we multiply the previous Row 2 by
The new Row 2 looks
like this:


Step 5: We need a 0
in position Row 1, Column 2. To obtain
this, we multiply the new Row 2 by
and add to the
previous Row 1. The new Row 1 looks like
this:


Step 6: We need a 0
in position Row 3, Column 2. To obtain
this, we multiply the new Row 2 by
and add to the
previous Row 3. The new Row 3 looks like
this:


*The matrix should now look like the following:

Step 7: We now need a
1 in position Row 3, Column 3. To obtain
this, we multiply the previous Row 3 by -4.
The new Row 3 looks like the following:

Step 8: We now need a
0 in position Row 2, Column 3. To obtain
this, we multiply the new Row 3 by
and add to the
previous Row 2. The new 2nd
row looks like the following:


Step 9: We now need a
0 in position Row 1, Column 3. To obtain
this, we multiply the new Row 3 by
and add to the
previous Row 1. The new Row 1 looks like
the following:


**Finally, our matrix looks like the following:

This implies that x = 1, y = 2, and z = 1. You can check by substituting these values
into the original system of equations.
