 McRae v. State. (1/12/96) ap-1452
McRae's attorney objected to Judge Hopwood's participation: he declared that he had expected Judge Souter to preside, since Judge Souter had been the sentencing judge and since Judge Souter was the judge named in the calendaring order.
McRae contends that, because Judge Souter was the judge who originally sentenced him, Judge Souter should have conducted both the adjudicative and the dispositive phases of the revocation hearing.
McRae notes that sentencing decisions are often based, not just on the bare plea or verdict, but on a much fuller evidentiary record that reveals the context of the defendant's behavior and sheds light on whether the defendant's violation of the law is typical, aggravated, or mitigated.

 GamingWorld X - Colin McRae Rally 3 Review
McRae’s game does some fabulous things with the PS2 hardware in some ways, but it still doesn’t quite match up to the overall smoothness and hi-res look of V-Rally 3.
Colin McRae 3 comes in second, as it is host to some cool rally machines, even though they can’t be driven in Championship mode.
Additionally, since being McRae means that you are no longer your own mechanic, it also means that you no longer have the ability to make your own repairs to the car at service stops.

 Jazz: McRae   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Carmen McRae always had a nice voice (if not on the impossible level of an Ella Fitzgerald or Sarah Vaughan) but it was her behind-the-beat phrasing and ironic interpretations of lyrics that made her most memorable.
McRae married and divorced Kenny Clarke in the 1940s, worked with Count Basie (briefly) and Mercer Ellington (1946-47), and became the intermission singer and pianist at several New York clubs.
McRae would record pretty steadily up to 1989 and, although her voice was higher in the 1950s and her phrasing would be even more laidback in later years, her general style and approach did not change much through the decades.

 GameSpy: Colin McRae Rally 2005 Preview
Its very-popular-in-Europe racing series, Colin McRae Rally, is all set for its yearly update, and while the sport of rallying will never really achieve the same acclaim here in the States, Xbox gamers should be aware that this time their Xbox Live needs are all taken care of.

 The Armchair Empire - Playstation 2 (PS2) Reviews: Colin McRae 3
The whole visual presentation is very well done on the PS2, but in the grander scheme of things RalliSport Challenge on the Xbox still holds the crown for being the prettiest rally racer on the market.
Obviously Colin McRae 3 is going for a more simulator-based rally racing experience, but it would have been nice to have the option to play some tunes while driving.
The tracks are setup with a good mix of gentle turns that are great for careening through at breakneck speeds and batteries of insane tight turns that make for a lot of intensity while at the wheel of one of the over 20 cars available to choose from.

Carmen McRae recorded four albums for Concord, with this ballad-oriented compilation a few selections from each, finds a very appealing, quite expressive and conversational style, became very influential for singers to follow her lead.
When it came to love--whether it was blissful or turbulent--Carmen McRae (Billie Holiday's faithful disciple) knew all about it and ultimately, her rich knowledge of this mysterious emotion certainly came through in her performances.
The amount of control that Carmen McRae demonstrated in her singing was simply astonishing; I assume that her background as a trained piano player had a lot to do with it.

 Colin McRae Rally 04 PC Review   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The Colin McRae Rally games have been around for a long time now and have provided gamers with a realistic simulation of the popular motor sport, but now with Mr McRae hanging up his world rallying keys it seems this could be the last outing to the grand father of the Rallying genre.
A nice addition to the series is also getting the opportunity to test new parts for your car, occasionally you will be given a challenge to test a new car part and if you meet the criteria of the challenge you will be awarded that part for your car increasing its performance.
For the first time Colin McRae Rally 04 features a “Group B” season, although you will need to complete the championship mode at least once before this becomes available, but once it is unlocked you have the chance to get behind the wheel of some old power houses.

 Featuring Colin McRae Rally 04 Review at ActionTrip
The Colin McRae Rally series derives from a specific design which authentically portrays the art of professional rally racing; hence the whole experience maintains a strong emphasis on realism.
In addition to the pretty poor backdrop textures, Colin McRae Rally 04 is still crammed with outdated 2D sprites in the backdrop - rally fans watching by the road look like paper dolls, and the same effect carries true for the trees.
Unfortunately, Colin McRae Rally 04 suffers from a relatively small choice of music tracks, which sort of leaves a gap in the overall value of the product.

 Colin McRae Rally 2
For the uninitiated, European rally racing consists of racing one track at a time over several days, and the driver with the shortest total time is declared the winner of the rally.
Get a car that is virtually the same as a standard road-going vehicle, and then drive it as fast as you can along a dirt track with hairpin bends, fjords, and basically terrain that the car wouldn't take too kindly to.
Coming into a field that is already jam-packed with great titles like V-Rally 2 and the original Colin McRae, 2.0 has somehow managed to produce the goods within the genre, but also introduces new ideas to what is a rather staid format.
