		Higinbotham became a power in the cabinet, his ability could not be questioned, and his oratory increasing both in persuasiveness and fire had much effect in the house.
		Higinbotham in his speech made in May 1866 on Darling's treatment declared that the real reason of his recall was that he had "assented to acts of his ministers which Mr Cardwell (secretary of state for the colonies) declares to be illegal".
		Higinbotham never abandoned this position, and his general attitude to the colonial office on this and similar questions was the real difficulty in later years when the question of appointing him lieutenant-governor came up.

	George Higinbotham and Responsible Government in Colonial Victoria - [2001] MULR 6; (2001) 25 Melbourne University Law ...
		Higinbotham’s conception of responsible government drew a simple distinction between Imperial matters, such as defence, on which the Imperial government could instruct the Governor as an Imperial officer, and internal affairs of domestic government, on which the local executive would be the deciding voice.
		Higinbotham and the Solicitor-General, Archibald Michie, contended that the tack was in strict conformity with English precedents.
		Higinbotham falsely believed that the constitutional crises of 1864–68 ‘sprang from, and were mainly determined by, the interference of the Colonial Office, exercised by and through instructions to the Governor of Victoria’;.

	Computer and video games: The First Video Game
		March 13, 1981 was the day the Brookhaven Bulletin published a story on employee William Higinbotham, speculating that he may have invented the first video game, with his tennis game of 1958.
		Higinbotham, who was then head of the Instrumentation Division, said it occurred to him that "it might liven up the place to have a game that people could play, and which would convey the message that our scientific endeavors have relevance for society."
		Considering Higinbotham's background, his invention of the game in1958 was a natural outgrowth of his schooling and work experience.

	The First Video Game
		Among the examples were the trajectory of a bullet subject to gravity and wind resistance, missile trajectories and a bouncing ball.
		Four of the operational amplifiers were used to generate the ball motions and the others to sense when the ball hit the ground or the net, and to switch the controls to the person in whose court the ball was located.
		The next year saw some improvements: a bigger tube ten or 15 inches in diameter was used, and players had a choice of tennis on the moon, with low gravity, or on Jupiter, with high gravity.

		William (Willy) A. Higinbotham (October 25, 1910 - November 10, 1994), a physicist, is credited with creating the first video game, Tennis for Two, which is similar to PONG but without paddles.
		As the Head of the Instrumentation Division at Brookhaven National Laboratory, he created it on an oscilloscope in 1958, to entertain visitors during visitor days at the national laboratory.
		He is said to have expressed regret that he would more likely be famous for his invention of a game than for his work on nuclear non-proliferation.

	PONG-Story - Tennis for Two computer game (1958)
		Digital computers were coming into their own in 1958; in fact, Willy's own Instrumentation Division was building one at the time.
		Higinbotham rigged up a circuit wherein the plot of these functions simulated the trajectory of a bouncing ball.
		Op-amps from a Donner Labs analog computer were used to generate this trajectory and to sense when the ball had struck the ground.

		Higinbotham said the blueprints show a few relay contacts in the wrong position, but the game worked beautifully, so they must have been fixed in the actual circuit.
		Higinbotham learned his electronics as a physics graduate student at Cornell, working as a technician in the physics department.
		Higinbotham has received about 20 patents on electronic circuits, most notably the "bootstrap" sawtooth generator widely used in oscilloscopes, and the Higinbotham Scaler, which made it possible to count reliably and electronically random pulses from radiation detectors at high rates.

	Division of Higinbotham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Division of Higinbotham was an Australian Electoral Division in Victoria.

		Higinbotham was a graduate student in Physics at Cornell University at the outbreak of World War II.
		He was invited to join research at the MIT Radiation Laboratory, where he worked on an advanced and important technique known as radio detecting and ranging, later shortened to RADAR.
		Higinbotham devised the timing circuits that took the first atomic bomb through the last few milliseconds preceding detonation.

		Higinbotham's game was an illustration of what the Instrumentation Division could design and build.
		Higinbotham's time was a simple time, technology was newly introduced and the people of the era were simple folk, living life and not worrying about the difficulties of the modern world that we have grown accustomed to.
		To the people of the late 1950s, the introduction of the first hands-on interactive TV game was a huge advancement and although by modern standards the technology is infantile at best, people of Pong?s day grew to love and honor what they thought to be the greatest invention of the day.

		As far as anyone can tell, Higinbotham was the ﬁrst person to assemble an electronic machine speciﬁcally for the purpose of playing a game.
		Higinbotham’s contribution to the gaming world came to light in 1981, when the Brookhaven Bulletin published a story on him.
		Higinbotham, who died in 1995, never tried to make money off his invention; he never even ﬁled for a patent, despite authoring 20 patents over his career.

	BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW
		Higinbotham were the first permanent settlers there, and both of these gentlemen are appropriately represented in this volume.
		Reaching Wisconsin, he engaged in building mills at Waukesha and several other places in Wisconsin, and after his return to Oneida built the Gordon Block, and later the Eagle Hotel and other buildings, which were destroyed in 1844.
		Subsequently he was actively engaged in the construction of the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad from Dixon, Ill., to the Mississippi River, and thence to Cedar Rapids, Ia. By too close application to his work he injured his sight, and was troubled with an affection of the eyes for two years.

		Carson Mark, former head of the Theoretical Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory, thinks Iraq would have needed at least a year of hard work to make one nuclear explosive device out of about 12 kilograms of weapon-grade uranium.
		William Higinbotham, who headed the electronics group at Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project thinks that is possible.
		But, according to Higinbotham, this particular kind of generator is probably unsuitable for nuclear explosives, which require extremely precise timing.

		In 2002, the court issued a QDRO dividing the community interest in Mark’s service longevity benefits with the Los Angeles County Retirement Association (LACERA) according to a formula entitling Marcy to 50 percent of the benefits acquired during the marital period.
		Thereafter, Mark filed an order to show cause to modify the QDRO, noting benefits were initially predicated upon a longevity pension, but now should reflect Mark’s decision to seek a tax free disability pension and allocate any tax savings to him as his separate property.
		(In re Marriage of Higinbotham (1988) 203 Cal.App.3d 322, 332 [tax savings resulting from the tax-exempt nature of a disability pension are the separate property of the pensioner].) Under the 2002 QDRO, there were no provisions expressly addressing the consequences of a disability pension.
