There is a bug in user profile pagination. Not sure how to correct it. Hoping the script developer works on it. So we could implement changes on p2pdl too.

As a translator of Norwegian, I travelled to the Gothenburg Book Fair in September to meet with Scandinavian authors, publishers, and fellow translators. One of the translators I met there was Anar Rahimov, a translator of contemporary Norwegian prose into Azerbaijani.
I was intrigued by Anar's story as one of only two translators of Norwegian in Azerbaijan. I translate into English, probably the world's most dominant language, and I was curious about the exchange between two relatively small languages, Norwegian and Azerbaijani. I wanted to ask Anar a little more about his work as a translator and how it fits into the literary culture of Azerbaijan.
David Smith (DS): How did you come to learn Norwegian and what inspired you to translate literature?
Anar Rahimov (AR): Well . . . it was quite accidental, I have to admit. I was working at the University of Languages in Baku as an English language teacher. Then an event took place that changed my whole career, priorities, and future standing in life. In 2010, I heard about an interview that included financing two and half years' study in Oslo. Ever since childhood, Norway has appealed to me as a northern, far away, and very cold land. Besides, studying in the prestigious universities of Europe was tempting in itself. After a little hesitation, I applied and was selected.

Pictures of Naomi Campbell in a Bikini
Naomi Campbell Hits Miami in Her Bikini!
Naomi Campbell chilled on the back of a yacht yesterday while out for a ride near Miami. The supermodel was clad in a printed bikini for her afternoon in the sun, which she shared with another two-piece clad pal and her boyfriend Vlad Doronin. She enjoyed some rest and relaxation after a recent stint in France, where she hit the runway for Louis Vuitton with Kate Moss during Paris Fashion Week. Naomi's all about luxurious getaways when she's not busy with work, having traveled to Cabo in Mexico and Phuket, Thailand in the last four months alone.

Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving our wonderful country. It's also a day to thank those in the Armed Forces, who sacrifice so much so that we can enjoy the freedom we have... like going out to play golf whenever we want.
From those of us at PGA.com, a big thank you goes out to all our military for the incredible work you do to keep us safe.
In the spirit of Memorial Day, we asked our PGA.com Facebook friends to tell us: How did your golf course/golf group commemorate the day?
For instance, Patriot Golf Club in Owasso, Okla., hosted the third annual Patriot Cup. A number of Tour players and celebrities were on hand, including the likes of Rickie Fowler, Tom Lehman, Corey Pavin, Maj. Dan Rooney, Vince Gill, Craig T. Nelson, Brandon Weeden and more. The popular band Rascal Flatts even performed at a dinner gala for the event.
Below are the best answers we received.
9. "Darlington Country Club... Red, White & Blue Scramble... Six holes from red tees, six from white tees and six from blue tees." -- Derick A. Pindroh
8. "TPC Sugarloaf in Duluth, Ga., had a member's red, white and blue event. Preceding the event, there was a speech by a wounded warrior to players. The wounded warrior, who has a complimentary membership to TPC Sugarloaf, also played in the event." -- Josh Nichols
7. "Flag day event for all members at Renaissance in Haverhill, Ma. Raised $1,500 in donations for Wounded Warrior Project." -- Phillip Johnson
6. "Bentwinds Golf and CC in Fuquay Varina, NC... annual Flag Tourney -- Using full handicap, play until reaching the number of strokes equaling par, plus your handicap... One with the most holes played wins!" -- Joe Sheets
5. "At Hanging Rock in Roanoke, Va., all active military played for free. Anyone who wore red, white, or blue paid the weekday rate instead of holiday rate. And if you bought any shirt with red, white or blue in it, you got second shirt free." -- Chip Sullivan
4. "Pomperaug Golf Club (Southbury, CT) had its annual Memorial Day ABCD scramble. Lots of good golf, great food and fabulous fun!" -- Dana Mullady McKinney
3. "With a 40 percent discount on green fees for the day." -- Calvin Smith
2. "U.S. Flags for the flags on every hole." -- Roy Forgy
"We put American Flags on all 18 of our pins! Everyone loved it!" -- Maple Creek Men's Club
"American flags on all pins. Glencoe Country Club, Glencoe, Minn." -- Jim Murphy
"At San Antonio Country Club we had every pins flag replaced with American Flags and created stands to rest the pin on so the flag would never touch the ground." -- Benjamin Farley
"Sandy Ridge Golf in Midland, Mich. American flags on top of the pin, with a stake in the ground to hold the flag up from touching the ground." -- Brandon Maciejewski
"American Flag pin day at Meadowlark in Huntington Beach, Calif., with stands at greenside to make sure our precious flag did not touch ground. Blue tees all the way back, and an absolutely gorgeous day, shot 81, not bad for a 14 handicapper." -- John Gordon Hicks
1. "I spent the day at The Patriot Cup in Owasso, OK. It was a great day to honor those who paid the ultimate price. The field had big stars including Rickie Fowler, and benefitted the Folds of Honor Foundation!" -- Randy Wheatley
"The Patriot hosted The Patriot Cup; there is nothing better than spending Memorial Day at this Tournament!" -- Mike Daggett
"Played in the third annual Patriot Cup at the Patriot Golf Club in Owasso, Oklahoma. That event and course were outstanding! A 'Top Gun' event!" -- Le Ann Finger

Liam McIntyre ("Spartacus") has been cast in a leading role in Renny Harlin's "Hercules 3D" at Nu Image/Millennium.
The story deals with a romance between the son of Zeus and the mortal princess of Crete, who was promised to his older brother despite her love for Hercules.
Kellan Lutz stars as the title character, with McIntyre as the young army captain Sotiris who becomes Hercules' most trusted battlefield companion.
After an evil king deceives them, Hercules and the captain are sold into slavery and must fight side by side to earn their freedom.
Sean Hood, Harlin and Giulio Steve wrote the script, while Les Welden and Danny Lerner are producing. Shooting kicks off in May in Bulgaria.

insertionSort(array x){ if(x.length < 2) end //we have 0 or 1 elements in the array for i = 1 to x.length-1, incrementing i = i+1 on each iteration temp = x[i] //pull out our element j = i-1 //start at the element next to our placehold and work forwards //shift the elements to the right until we find //a place to insert while j >= 0 AND x[j] > temp x[j+1] = x[j] j = j-1 end while x[j+1] = temp //insert our element end for }
We see that with an array, insertion sort does a lot of swapping of elements. However, with a Linked List, the swapping doesn't exist as Linked Lists are stored with relative positioning. So basically, we just have to insert the temp element back into the List at the appropriate index.
When we evaluate the Big-O of Insertion Sort, we get O(n^2). Our outer for loop takes linear time, iterating through n-1 elements. The inner loop also iterates through j elements worst case, which makes it linear n. So n*n --> O(n^2).

Two Firms, One Trail In Probes Of Ratings
The Justice Department last week went after Standard & Poor's Ratings Services—not rival Moody's Investors Service—with a $5 billion fraud lawsuit. Some former Moody's employees think they know why.
The Moody's Corp. unit took careful steps to avoid creating a trove of potentially embarrassing employee messages like those that came back to haunt S&P in the U.S.'s lawsuit, the former employees say.

A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas
Science, engineering, and technology permeate nearly every facet of modern life and hold the key to solving many of humanity's most pressing current and future challenges. The United States' position in the global economy is declining, in part because U.S. workers lack fundamental knowledge in these fields. To address the critical issues of U.S. competitiveness and to better prepare the workforce, A Framework for K-12 Science Education proposes a new approach to K-12 science education that will capture students' interest and provide them with the necessary foundational knowledge in the field.
Thinking Evolutionarily: Evolution Education Across the Life Sciences: Summary of a Convocation
Evolution is the central unifying theme of biology. Yet today, more than a century and a half after Charles Darwin proposed the idea of evolution through natural selection, the topic is often relegated to a handful of chapters in textbooks and a few class sessions in introductory biology courses, if covered at all. In recent years, a movement has been gaining momentum that is aimed at radically changing this situation.
In the Light of Evolution VI: Brain and Behavior (2013)
The central goal of the In the Light of Evolution series is to promote the evolutionary sciences through state-of-the-art colloquia--in the series of Arthur M. Sackler colloquia sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences--and their published proceedings. Each installment explores evolutionary perspectives on a particular biological topic that is scientifically intriguing but also has special relevance to contemporary societal issues or challenges. This book is the outgrowth of the Arthur M. Sackler Colloquium "Brain and Behavior," which was sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences on January 20-21, 2012, at the Academy's Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center in Irvine, CA. It is the sixth in a series of Colloquia under the general title "In the Light of Evolution." Specifically, In Light of Evolution: Brain and Behavior focuses on the field of evolutionary neuroscience that now includes a vast array of different approaches, data types, and species.
In the Light of Evolution V: Cooperation (2011)(Includes podcasts from the meeting. Report forthcoming)
Cooperation is one of the great challenges to evolutionary theory. If individuals compete, and those winning the conflict leave more copies of their genes, what place is there for cooperation? A large one, it turns out. Cooperation is important in the evolution of groups, and is responsible for the great ecological success of social insects. Understanding how conflict is controlled so that cooperation can occur may explain the organization of genes on chromosomes, eukaryotic cells, multicellularity, and superorganisms like social insect colonies. Advances in many areas of biology have expanded the reach of cooperation studies. This Sackler Colloquium will focus on empirical work in these new areas rather than tread old ground. We will begin with a session on the foundations of cooperation based on selfish-gene thinking. We will then move on to see how the promise of the early work has been fulfilled by the study of real genes for social behavior. The third session will look at the role of cooperation in disease, as pathogens, selfish genetic elements, and cancers exploit their hosts. The final session will explore how this evolutionary perspective sheds light on the human condition.
Understanding Climate's Influence on Human Evolution (2010)
Climate and fossil records suggest that some events in human evolution -- such as the evolution of new species or movements out of Africa -- coincided with substantial changes in African and Eurasian climate. This raises the intriguing possibility that environmental factors affected or controlled our species' evolution.By altering the landscape, past changes in climate may have exerted pressures that led to genetic selection and innovation in humans. But because the human fossil record and our understanding of past climate conditions are incomplete, the details of how climates influenced human evolution remain unclear.
Microbial Evolution and Co-Adaptation: A Tribute to the Life and Scientific Legacies of Joshua Lederberg (2009)Dr. Joshua Lederberg - scientist, Nobel laureate, visionary thinker, and friend of the Forum on Microbial Threats - died on February 2, 2008. It was in his honor that the Institute of Medicine's Forum on Microbial Threats convened a public workshop on May 20-21, 2008, to examine Dr. Lederberg's scientific and policy contributions to the marketplace of ideas in the life sciences, medicine, and public policy.
In the Light of Evolution, Volume III: Two Centuries of Darwin (2009)
Two Centuries of Darwin is the third book of the In the Light of Evolution series. Each installment in the series explores evolutionary perspectives on a particular biological topic that is scientifically intriguing but also has special relevance to contemporary societal issues or challenges. In the chapters of this book, leading evolutionary biologists and science historians reflect upon and commemorate the Darwinian Revolution.
Origin and Evolution of Earth: Research Questions for a Changing Planet (2008)
Questions about the origin and nature of Earth and the life on it have long preoccupied human thought and the scientific endeavor. Deciphering the planet's history and processes could improve the ability to predict catastrophes like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, to manage Earth's resources, and to anticipate changes in climate and geologic processes.
Science, Evolution, and Creationism (2008)
This completely updated edition of the landmark booklet Science and Creationism is written for anyone who wants to learn more about the science of evolution. It provides a succinct overview of the many recent advances from the fossil record, molecular biology, and a new field known as evolutionary-developmental biology that have yielded important, new, and overwhelming evidence for evolution.
In the Light of Evolution, Volume II: Biodiversity and Extinction (2008)
The current extinction crisis is of human making, and any favorable resolution of that biodiversity crisis--among the most dire in the 4-billion-year history of the Earth--will have to be initiated by mankind. Little time remains for the public, corporations, and governments to awaken to the magnitude of what is at stake. This book aims to assist that critical educational mission, synthesizing recent scientific information and ideas about threats to biodiversity in the past, present, and projected future.
In the Light of Evolution: Volume 1. Adaptation and Complex Design (2007)
In December 2006, the National Academy of Sciences sponsored a colloquium (featured as part of the Arthur M. Sackler Colloquia series) on "Adaptation and Complex Design" to synthesize recent empirical findings and conceptual approaches towards understanding the evolutionary origins and maintenance of complex adaptations. Darwin's elucidation of natural selection as a creative natural force was a monumental achievement in the history of science, but a century and a half later some religious believers still
contend that biotic complexity registers conscious supernatural design.
Darwin's Gift to Science and Religion (2007)
With the publication in 1859 of On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, Charles Darwin established evolution by common descent as the dominant scientific explanation for nature s diversity. This was to be his gift to science and society at last, we had an explanation for how life came to be on Earth. In Darwin's Gift, a voice at once fresh and familiar brings a rational, measured perspective to the science of evolution.
Genesis: The Scientific Quest for Life's Origins (2005)
Life on Earth arose nearly 4 billion years ago, bursting forth from air, water, and rock. Though the process obeyed all the rules of chemistry and physics, the details of that original event pose as deep a mystery as any facing science. How did non-living chemicals become alive? While the question is (deceivingly) simple, the answers are unquestionably complex. Genesis tells the tale of transforming scientific advances in our quest for life's origins. Written with grace, beauty, and authority, it goes directly to the heart of who we are and why we are here.
Evolution in Hawaii: A Supplement to Teaching About Evolution and the Nature of Science (2004)
Evolution in Hawaii examines evolution and the nature of science by looking at a specific part of the world -- the Hawaiian Islands. By focusing on one set of islands, this book illuminates the general principles of evolutionary biology and how ongoing research will continue to expand our knowledge of the natural world.
Science and Creationism: A View from the National Academy of Sciences, Second Edition (1999)
While the mechanisms of evolution are still under investigation, scientists universally accept that the cosmos, our planet, and life evolved and continue to evolve. Yet the teaching of evolution to schoolchildren is still a contentious issue. In Science and Creationism, the NAS states unequivocally that creationism has no place in any science curriculum at any level.
Teaching About Evolution and the Nature of Science (1998)
Written for teachers, parents, and community officials as well as scientists and educators, this book describes how evolution reveals both the great diversity and similarity among the Earth's organisms. It explores how scientists approach the question of evolution, and illustrates the nature of science as a way of knowing about the natural world.
National Science Education Standards (1996)
A landmark effort that involved thousands of teachers, scientists, science educators, and other experts across the country, these standards echo the principle that learning science is an inquiry-based process, that science in schools should reflect the intellectual traditions of contemporary science, and that all Americans have a role in improving science education.
The Search for Life's Origins: Progress and Future Directions in Planetary
Biology and Chemical Evolution (1990)
The study of planetary biology and chemical evolution draws together experts in astronomy, paleobiology, biochemistry, and space science who work together to understand the evolution of living systems. This field has made exciting discoveries that shed light on how organic compounds came together to form self-replicating molecules -- the origin of life. This volume offers recommendations on research programs -- including an ambitious effort centered on Mars.

Only Selma
Obviously not for everyone this new look. Obviously not for the Barbie blonde or the silicone ditz or even Sienna Miller, much as she tries to be edgy chic fashion maverick. But on Selma Blair…quirky, weird Selma Blair… I love, love, love. Have always loved her with short hair in fact. This other photo I'm attaching is quite possibly one of my favourite short do's ever. Every two or three months or so, I pull it out, contemplate it for myself, but then again mine doesn't grow that way. And my Chinese hawk nose would kill the effect. On Selma, the crazy ass razor stripe off to the side and different lengths hanging haphazardly on the opposite...something about this just works. Sometimes, very rarely, androgyny is sexier than full tit spillage – this is one of those occasions. Source

A white woman from the University of Chicago recently published an account of her unfortunate encounters in India. She was sexually harassed and assaulted on several occasions. The story received widespread attention, and Rose Chasm had many sympathizers, but as all cases of sexual assault stories go, she also had to face severe negative backlash.
One might say that is to be expected, seeing as how sexual assault victims haven't exactly had the kindest audience. However, what was surprising about the Rose Chasm case was that she faced severe backlash from women, who know perfectly well what it's like to be at the receiving end of such abuse.
Let me start with this article written by Polly Hwang which says "People who generalize are evil", thereby making… a generalization. In her article, she says:
Not to chastise Rose Chasm in anyway but she should not have been dancing in the Ganesha street festival known for its hordes of extremely drunk young men. She should not have stayed in cheap shady hostels in Goa which I'm sure had no positive online reviews. She should not be flipping fingers at locals and most importantly, she should have left after her first incident of sexual harassment, instead of staying for over 90 days and developing PTSD. I'm not victim shaming in any way, the pigs who tormented Rose Chasm take 100% of the blame. However as foreigners, it's our responsibility to be aware of how to behave and live in the local culture.
That's a whole bunch of "She should not have…" statements followed by a cautionary "I'm not victim shaming." Did the definition of victim shaming change while I slept in a cryogenic chamber for about one thousand years? I don't understand how telling someone what they shouldn't have done, and including a clause about leaving a place after experiencing one instance of sexual assault so as to not "develop PTSD" is not textbook victim blaming. I live in India, I'm a victim of sexual assault and I'm quite sure I wouldn't appreciate this "advice". It is patronising, misleading, and misogynistic. There is nothing victims can do to "prevent" sexual assault. If Rose had stayed in a not-shady hotel instead of a "shady" one, there would be no telling if she would be safe. Out of the 244,270 reported sexual assault cases in 2012 in India, 98% pointed to trusted friends, family or acquaintances as the perpetrators of the crime. That's a staggering statistic. So, what should Rose have done? Should she have never visited India? On one hand, Polly's article makes the case against generalizing Indian men, and says:
By implying that every man she met in India is a pervert and by not giving any examples of good decent Indian men, she is indirectly stereotyping Indian men in a very harmful way.
And then she implies that Rose should not have stuck around. Great, then we could all gang up on her again and say she generalised from one bad experience and decided to not stay. It's damned if you do, damned if you don't. Should she have been clairvoyant and known she'd get PTSD? Also, why should anyone suffering from that wretched trauma-inducing medical nightmare have to go out of her way to make commendable statements about Indian men? It makes no sense. If I were suffering from PTSD, while writing about my experiences and battling my trigger-prone brain and depression, the last thing on my mind would be appending a statutory line about the goodness of the hearts of the scores of Indian men who really are nice people. It is not Rose's responsibility to include a clause so as to not save all the men in my country from coming under bad light.
Polly wasn't the only one. Here's another such seemingly empathetic post from another woman called Dilshad Master. Dilshad says:
Getting out alone, on foot, would be equivalent to…well let's say, you and your friends dancing at the Ganesh Chathurthi festival on the streets of Pune. What in the world were you thinking? Oh, hang on, you weren't thinking.
Life pro-tip: To express your sympathy/empathy for someone who was tortured in your home country, do not adopt a sarcastic tone that is condescending towards the victim.
She then goes on to say:
I'm not quite sure which "lovely hotel in Goa" you stayed in. Did anyone recommend it to you on Trip Advisor or perhaps your friends on Facebook? Did you actually go through the comments on either or did you click on reservation, letting price and availability be your only guide? You see, we wouldn't do that In India, not anywhere in the world. And if we did (like I did in Chicago), then we'd do it fully aware of the consequences.
More condescension and perfect 20/20 hindsight introspection for a sexual assault victim. This poster really is asking if Rose took enough precautions, implying that if she didn't, she should have and that it would have made her life easier.
Then there was another article published on the same iReport section of CNN as a response to Rose Chasm, written by "twoseat". In it, she says:
I want to address the consequences that arise from writing that lends itself to careless generalizations. The problem that this article has is that it ends up blaming an entire population for the actions of some.
The problem that ^that article has is that the article it references, does not, in fact, blame an entire population for the actions of some. Rose Chasm never insinuated or stressed that Indian men are all horrible, raging beasts. She only recounted her painful experiences and yet, twoseat thinks it is Rose's responsibility to "articulate both sides".
And then there have been those countless posts that are quick to point out that sexual assault also happens in the USA. Just read the comments section on any of the aforementioned articles. How is it okay for people to think Rose Chasm was playing the blame game here? She did not intend to demonise India, so why are people asking her to reflect upon the problems within her own country? Does the fact that there's sexual assault in the USA negate Indian problems? Does it make people feel any better to say, "Hey, we're not the only ones who rape and plunder!"? I can't think of any other reason than derailment.
Although all these articles were written in good faith, they are perfect examples of how good faith can pave the road to hell. A sexual assault victim should not have to listen to multivarious accounts of what she should or should not have done. She shouldn't have to listen to "advice" masked as apologia. She shouldn't have to be told that she wasn't prepared "enough". She shouldn't have to be coerced into acknowledging all the kindness and beauty in the world when she is trying to recuperate from acute trauma.
In a lot of ways, articles from these women are reminiscent of some statements made by Indian "leaders" that essentially place the onus of safety onto victims. Statements that dissect every action of the victim in hindsight and provide no comfort except obligatory platitudes.
Candle-light marches, prayers, and aggression don't mean anything if we aren't willing to admit that India has a problem (which is also prevalent in the rest of the world, no doubt, but that's hardly the point) which can only be solved by a conscious, collective effort not make the women more liable in "preventing" something that really isn't in their control. This is a nation where one rape is reported every 20 minutes, and that's not counting the unreported cases, and other forms of sexual assault.
Considering the fact that science has actually associated demure behaviour to be what most sexual assault perpetrators look for in a victim, we should question whether we're putting women at significant risk by advocating modest clothing and submissive behaviour. We should acknowledge that by contributing to an already enormous narrative of teaching women to not "get raped" rather than teaching men (and in some cases, women) to not rape, we're tip-toeing on a dangerously thin rope. We're promoting rape culture that makes rapists feel at home, while making the victims feel guilty. We're completely neglecting a victim's state of mind while we chide her choices without understanding the "neurobiology of sexual assault" (here's a transcript of that video) and how "secondary victimization" can further a person's trauma.
We owe it to our sisters to educate ourselves about a persistent, ugly social evil and really empathize with their struggles.
TL;DR: Do not blame the victim. Be brilliant like these men in Bangalore who wore skirts in solidarity for women, thereby making a bold statement about clothing (or anything else) never being an "invitation" for sexual assault.

'Weird Al' Yankovic Releases 'Mission Statement' Videoby Maggie Malach | PopCrush
'Weird Al' Yankovic is concluding his eight days of eight new videos (which included his 'First World Problems' premiere with PopCrush) with 'Mission Statement' — a song in the style of Crosby, Stills & Nash.
While the folk group is known for its Americana sound and embracing of counter-culture, the lyrics of 'Mission Statement' are the exact opposite.
"I wanted to do a song about all the ridiculous double-speak and meaningless buzzwords that I've been hearing in office environments my entire life," Yankovic told the Wall Street Journal. "I just thought it would be ironic to juxtapose that with the song stylings of CSN, whose music pretty much symbolizes the antithesis of corporate America."
We'd say Weird Al hit his mark. The song is layered with folksy harmonies and peppered with phrases like "leverage core competencies," "holistically administrate exceptional synergy" and "monetize our assets."
Another noticeable aspect of the video is the hand-drawn illustrations highlighting the buzzwords in the lyrics. According to the Wall Street Journal, Weird Al collaborated with TruScribe for the video, a process that took about 10 months to complete.
Check out the finished product in 'Weird Al' Yankovic's 'Mission Statement' video above and be sure to pick up a copy of 'Mandatory Fun' on iTunes and Amazon.

Racism and TV are as old as TV. Racism alone, of course, was invented with radio. But there was a good deal of time during which you'd never see anything even remotely multicultural on TV the vast majority of the time, and people thought they were being pretty progressive by watching Benson. And then they'd watch All in the Family, and that was OK because Archie Bunker, though racist, was also a twat, so when he met Sammy Davis Jr., you always knew Mr. Davis Jr. would come out of it OK. Time passed, sitcom producers started realizing you could feature characters who weren't whiter than bleached Wonder Bread and the world was a fine place.
And yet, even today, in 2012, you can find shows creeping around that seem to not just exist in a vacuum, but revel in just how intolerant or ignorant of race they are.
#5. American Gypsies
The National Geographic Channel, in a bid to outstupid TLC, A&E and the History Channel, all of which are a black morass of clusterfuckery and board certifiable fucktardation of a degree damaging to the very fabric of society and possibly even reality itself, has introduced the Ralph "Karate Kid" Macchio produced atrocity American Gypsies, a show so devoid of purpose, Kardashians can only see it from their peripheral vision when they're medicated. Did that make sense? Yes. Just take a second with it.
Like every other would-be reality show that focuses on an ethnic group, this show is offensive to mankind. But also, it seeks to dispel the myths and stereotypes you know about Gypsies (or "Romani," if you want to pretend to be politically correct before you jump ass first into the racist cistern of dribble shits that this show tosses at you) by replacing them with all new and worse stereotypes. Or, in some cases, just confirming them anyway. For instance, you don't think all Gypsies are fortunetellers, do you? Do you, you crass, ignorant fool? Ha ha! A Gypsy curse on you then, for the family in this show actually runs a chain of psychic shops. Fortunetellers. Pshaw.
I see in your future: shitty ratings!
Taking a cue from the way TLC presents Toddlers & Tiaras, as though the offensive content was not even their doing, American Gypsies features random fistfights, vandalism, hairy people in suits yelling at each other and the baseless, soulless mantra that somehow, for some reason, family is the most important thing in the world. Because that's apparently what ethnic stereotypes believe when there are 20 of them crammed around the dinner table eating a meal grandma woke up two days ago to prepare, and that makes them not monstrous or awful because hey, they love their momma. So did Norman Bates.
Most of the trailers feature a scene with one of the characters bashing in the windows of an SUV in stark contrast to the myth that Gypsies may be hotheaded. In fairness, it is superior to cursing someone with lycanthropy, but it's still a dick move, Gypsies. In another, an old Gypsy caricature of a woman is seen stroking someone's palm and proclaiming that all Gypsy women are psychic. All of them. But you'd know that if you were a Gypsy, wouldn't you? You would have seen it in your tea leaves.
If it's hard to see any of those old, terrible stereotypes the show seeks to overcome here, it's because they're hidden behind too many crystal balls and hairy, brutish forearms. The only surprising thing about the show is that, after watching it, you probably still retain legal rights to your firstborn and there won't be a shantytown set up in your yard. You learn nothing about Gypsy culture beyond the fact that they seem to be angry, violent frauds, which may not be the best "look what you didn't know about us!" message to give people.
#4. Glee
In researching this article, I hadn't thought to include Glee at first. In fact, on the surface, Glee looks like a damn musical U.N. of shit I'd never watch. But it also looks like they have someone from almost every ethnic background available on the show and dammit, they're all so full of song. But then it was pointed out to me that every non-white character is such a non-white character that it's like the producers had actually just come here from an albino world and were so taken with the novelty of people who weren't white that they had no time to look into or care about their cultures at all. Hence the two Asian characters on the show have the same last name. The Jew's last name is Ben Israel and he's as sexually deranged as Gladstone. The Latina cheerleader is actually named Santana Lopez, possibly because they had to cut Conchita Luisa Mexicasa out of the script. There's even actually an Irish exchange student who is immediately believed to be a leprechaun.
Faith and begorra, I'm motivated to sing Carly Rae Jepsen.
The reason you don't want to think of Glee right off is the reason half of you rolled your eyes at that last sentence. Oh come on, no one believes the Irish kid is a leprechaun, that's a joke. Of course it is. Just like the awkward Jew with the afro, the black girl who always sings the big gospel notes, the gay kid with the great fashion sense, the overachieving Asian, the fiery, underprivileged Latina, the cheerleader who is so dumb that she has a negative GPA and so many others. Everyone is a something on this show.
One episode revolved around a Jewish girl wanting a nose job to look like one of the white characters and actually, sincerely included a duet of the two girls singing "Unpretty"/"I Feel Pretty." Now I'm not one for subtext, but I think the genuine sentiment here from the show was that you can be pretty, even as a Jew. That wasn't what they meant, but it's exactly what they said. Hey Jew, don't feel bad you look so Jewish, you're beautiful. We're all beautiful just the way we are, even if we're not normal. Hell, the episode this happened in was called "Born This Way."
Another episode entitled "Asian F" is about one of the Asian characters getting an A-, which is so terrible that his father demands daily drug testing for him. And that's such a great example of whyGlee continues to skirt under the radar, because they made that ridiculous stereotype the focus of an entire episode like that somehow ameliorated the stupidity of it existing. As though Glee's producers think that by shoving their parade of characters and their intense stereotypes in your face, rather than having them be subtle, it's cool, because they're acknowledged. But that shit's kind of wack, yo.
#3. Wrestling
You could write a multivolume epic that Peter Jackson would spend the rest of his life filming about the use of racist characters in professional wrestling and in the end you'd have the most ridiculous story anyone had ever seen. In the past, the brain trust behind WWE wrestling willingly had men dress up and pretend to be voodoo priests, headhunters and African tribesmen because that's who people who eat ham in their hands want to see grapple with men who wear panties in front of crowds. They even had Mexicans ride to the ring on lawnmowers. Progressive! As time went on, they started allowing black, Hispanic and Middle Eastern employees (or at least guys dusky enough to be considered Middle Eastern) to be actual people instead of curious doodles found at the bottom of KKK pamphlets, and that was seen as even more progressive.
And his tag team partner Ooga Booga.
In 2012, you'd hope all that would be gone, but the WWE is nothing if not attuned to the mentality of people who have little mentality to speak of, so they play to trends. Like having a Texan character who sits at the U.S./Mexican border and attacks Mexicans.
He literally kicks a Mexican back into Mexico there. It's so insanely offensive that it literally becomes funny because your brain just refuses to believe that really happened. The WWE is so in love with racist storylines, they actually made a Mexican racist character named Alberto Del Rio who came to America legally and hates all you lazy, shiftless illegals, even if you're an illegal Irishman. See how they turned racism on its head there? Oh wait, no, they just did the same thing again.
Speaking of Mexicans, here are some Mexican-Americans:
Don't you feel a swell of racial pride, Mexican-American Cracked readers? I mean, if you can read this with your sunglasses on and without that bandanna falling in your eyes. You have those on, right? Well, if you're a guy. If you're a woman, I guess you just need to worry about all that eyeliner blinding you.
Now a few instances does not a conspiracy make, but there's also R-Truth, who's played as a black street thug; Cryme Tyme, which was a team of black street thugs; and Jinder Mahal, who may be a Sikh or Bengali or something pretty curry-related, since he wears a turban and has that last name and all, sort of like the Great Khali but not. Hell, there's even a dwarf named Hornswoggle who pretends to be a leprechaun, but only because they had no need of an Oompa Loompa.
Elsewhere in the WWE you have the proud Japanese warrior Lord Tensai, who is portrayed by a stocky white man. In late July he posted a video online in which he was driving to a WWE event with his chauffeur, the actually Asian Sakamoto. Tensai lets us know it's dangerous to let an Asian drive and smacks him in the head, telling him to open his eyes. See, cuz he's squinty. Get it? You don't get it? Try to think like someone who gets a boner when they see their cousin and now imagine what you'd think the first time you saw an Asian person. Now you get it.
Me love cultural insensitivity long time.
To help ameliorate this tasteless joke, WWE announcer Jerry Lawler took time out of his intense schedule of calling wrestling matches to add his own joke that when Tensai smacks Sakamoto, he changes his name to Sum Ting Wong. Clearly they have some Jeff Dunham-level comedy minds working behind the scenes over there, and likely just as many hands in asses.

Pia Kaipainen has fired in the haps from the recent Scandi stopoff of Nikita's Chickita contest.
The train ride through the mountains from Oslo to Geilo on Friday already set the mood sky high for the upcoming weekend. Slowly passing views to fjords and mountain ranges were breathtakingly beautiful. Arriving in Geilo even the warm spring sun came out, lighting up the resort and making water drip from the rooftops. Geilo's multitasking man in everything to do with snowboarding, Rune, picked me up from the train station and off we drove to the traditional Norwegian cabins he had arranged for the whole bunch coming to the Nikita Chickita contest. All girls stayed in groups of about 7 in houses that were directly located next to the mountain.
When we'd settled down, everyone gathered for some dinner at the local pizzeria where the registration was also held. After getting goodie bags packed with everything from Nikita beanies to beauty products, the girls (and some boys too) hungrily finished off plate after plate of delicious pan pizza. Yummy! By 9pm everyone had a full belly and a tired but happy smile on their face – it was time to hit the hay and sleep. Saturday was gonna be a full on, action packed day for everyone! It was snowing heavily when we headed back to the cabins and everyone was sleeping with their fingers crossed to have some sun the next day…
The day of the Nikita Chickita Scandinavia 2010 opened up in stunning sunshine so it was worth it to spend the night sleeping all tangled up! Breakfast was served at 08.30 at the mountain hut next to the lifts and then it was time to head to the park for a warm up. The snow was good and the park was in superb shape. The course included a flat down box, a banana box and a flat rail plus three jumps and a jib at the end. While the Nikita crew set up some banners, tents and sun umbrellas on the bottom of the course, the girls rode and got to know the course. The sun was shining, music was banging and excitement was in the air! After some warming up, it was time to kick start the contest.
There were 40 girls altogether at the starter gate, ready to push the best out of themselves and support their fellow sisters in achieving the same. Nikita riders Cecilia Larsen and Thea Stenshagen were all set to score the girls and see who would be continuing into the finals from the qualification runs. We had juniors ripping and having fun alongside a bit more experienced and older gals – all having a great time together. 15 girls made it to the final which was due after a quick lunch on the mountain. We witnessed a BS 3, FS 5 and a switch BS 1 from Dina Treland, BS 3, an indy grab and a BS 540 from Anette Bandidos Andersen followed by a switch BS 180, FS 360 and BS 360 from Malin Johansson. It was Dina who bagged the winning jackpot with her great variation of tricks and smooth style.
Deciding the TOP3 was more than a struggle as all of them had some outstanding runs and showed real talent. But the decision had to be done and this is the final result: 1. Dina Treland 2. Anette Bandidos Andersen 3. Malin Johansson. The rest of the girls placing from 4th -10th were: 4. Hanne Kauko 5. Silje Johnsen 6. Martina Nicile Naess 7. Erika Kolbert 8. Alexandra Unger 9. Christina Kolbu 10. Emilie Wilberg. Best Junior prize went to Emilie Wilberg and Best Trick was nominated to Anette Bandidos Andersen. The busy girls that they are, both 1st and 2nd placed winners already had other commitments for the weekend of the Nikita Chickita Europe so it was Malin Johansson from Sweden who got the golden ticket to go to Serfaus, Austria. And she definitely deserved her ticket; the difference in points for the top 3 girls was extremely tight. So, grattis Malin!!
The day ended at Rune's new boardshop in Geilo where there was a rail jam in the front yard of the shop and inside a mini ramp for the gals to skate on. What an awesome setup! And after a packed day full of physical action the brain hard-drives were activated too with a little quiz. The teams were divided between the houses the girls stayed at and the winning team took home a big bag full of sweets and snacks. Here are the results of the rail jam: 1. Dina Treland 2. Louise Blanc 3. Hanne Kauko 4. Thea Stenshagen 5. Gro Engebakken.
After the prize giving ceremonies, photoshoot sessions and using a good dose of energy throughout the day, everyone was pretty exhausted and the bus ride to the cabins were full of giggles and red cheeks. As Ice Cube says: it was a good day! The weekend of fun was finished off with a mellow photoshoot session on Sunday, along with a BBQ on-hill and a fierce snowball fight. When it was time to go home, the girls were stoked after an amazing weekend at Geilo. Everyone went home with new friends, new experiences and much laughter!
Nikita would like to send BIG thanks especially to the Response Crew (Pål Wahl, Ailin Hårklau, Hege Ringard, Kent Willy Nilsen) & the photographers Remy Eik from Playboard Norway mag and Otto Alsaker Prestmo as well as Rune from Snowboardtrener.no. Also, tusen takk goes to Electric and Aeriel Seven for prizes, Playboard as media partner, Coca Cola for drinks and Geilolia for a fantastic park. And not to forget all the wonderful girls who took part in the event – many thanks for being there! At the event site we had a whopping crew of 69 people taking part to make this event happen and as fun as it was – that's deserves big applause! Same time next year!

But seriously, hoo does your feathers?
One lucky owl was the recipient of some serious pampering recently, enjoying a wash and blowout so luxurious that it would give even Gisele Bündchen's glam routine a run for its money.
After wetting itself in a bowl of water, the owl had its feathers dried and fluffed with a blow dryer. Later, its feathers were smoothed into place, perfecting the final look. The service even included a head massage to top it off. All in all, it sounds like a real hoot.

Event Number 2915
Tuesday, February 19th, 2013
- Theory Seminar (High Energy/Cosmology)
- Interactions and width of the Higgs-like particle
- Time: 4:00 pm
- Place: 5280 Chamberlin Hall
- Speaker: Bogdan Dobrescu, Fermilab
- Abstract: The newly discovered Higgs-like particle may have modified interactions with the Standard Model particles. Naively, the strength of these interactions may be extracted from rate measurements at the LHC. However, Higgs decays into new light particles may dramatically affect the rates so that the extraction of the Higgs couplings is possible only under some theoretical assumptions. I will present a method for determining the Higgs couplings and total width based on the existing data and a well-motivated theoretical constraint.

Canberra, Australia (AP) – Australia's first same-sex weddings can take place this weekend after the nation's highest court decided to rule next week on the law allowing gay marriage in the national capital.
The Australian Capital Territory government, which administers Canberra, passed legislation in October that allows same-sex couples to wed in ceremonies equivalent to those heterosexual couples are entitled to under federal law.
The federal government immediately applied to the High Court to quash the law. The court's six judges heard the case Tuesday and announced that they would deliver their ruling on Dec. 12.
The first weddings are scheduled to take place in Canberra on Saturday, the first opportunity under the legal conditions.
The federal government's lawyer Justin Gleeson told the court that having differing marriage laws in various Australian states and territories would create confusion.
The ACT government argues its same-sex marriage laws should stand because they govern couples outside the federal definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman.
Ivan Hinton and Chris Teoh, who attended the court hearing, plan to marry on Saturday. Hinton said he knew of at least 12 other same-sex couples who planned to do the same.
Hinton said he hoped that the court would not order an injunction to prevent any marriage before the legality of the legislation was settled.
But when the hearing ended, the federal government did not apply for an injunction and the court issued no orders.
Australian federal law was amended in 2004 to specify that marriage can only be between a man and a woman. But it also specifically applied to heterosexual couples, and some lawyers argue that leaves states free to legislate for same-sex marriage.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott opposes gay marriage and his coalition last year thwarted two federal bills that would have allowed legal recognition of same-sex relationships.

Editorial: We're in Good Hands With These 25 Under 35
By: Ed Zintel
Do not panic. Do not worry yourself about the future of newspapers. Like Allstate Insurance says, "You're in Good Hands."
At least that's what we here at E&P gathered after reviewing the nominations for this year's 25 Under 35 feature. Not just the 25 we selected to feature, but every one of the more than 80 nominations we received pointed to young professionals in the newspaper industry who are extremely talented, forward-thinking and hard-working. All were so talented, in fact, that it was tougher than ever to select just 25 to feature.
Take the case of Jessica Puente. At just 24, and hired by the (Riverside, Calif.) Press-Enterprise just six weeks before the launch of a metered paywall, Jessica built a member center, a subscriber communication strategy and a newsletter strategy. She also led the training for the newsroom for social and Google search. I know what I was doing at age 24, and it wasn't anything as advanced and productive as what Jessica has accomplished.
Then, there is Dan Petty, 27. In the four years since he was an intern at The Denver Post, Dan has become a digital leader in his newsroom. He became the Post's first Social Media Editor at the ripe, old age of 23 and now, in his current role as Digital Director of Sports, he is responsible for planning and leading digital coverage for sports events, from the Broncos to the Rockies and Nuggets and Avalanche to the Olympics. Dan also has worked with Denver Post newsroom leadership to help train staff on social media and the use of digital tools in reporting—all of which was helpful during The Post's award-winning wildfire coverage and Pulitzer-winning Aurora shooting coverage. He says humbly that his last two jobs at The Post were "ones that didn't previously exist because I and others made the case that they were necessary to push us forward and make us a better news organization."
And what about Patrick Mackie, 29, advertising manager of The Repository in Canton, Ohio? After joining the company in 2010 as the business development manager for About magazine, a monthly lifestyle magazine produced by the newspaper, Patrick, in 2013, was charged with the responsibility of overseeing all niche publications for GateHouse Ohio Media, which includes The Repository, The Independent, The Times-Reporter and The Suburbanite. Then, late in 2013, he was promoted to advertising manager for The Repository, making him the youngest person ever hired in that leadership position.
Finally, we have Rachel Piper, 27, managing editor of the Salt Lake City Weekly. Rachel is the youngest managing editor that City Weekly has seen in its 30 years. Involved in every piece printed in the paper, she also oversees and imposes strict editorial quality standards on City Weekly's 15 special issues per year, including three standalone glossies. During her tenure, she has also taken on five new special issues.
Rachel's key to success? "Always say 'yes' " she said. That means, as seemed a personal work theme with all of our young stars featured here, to let go of your fears and take on whatever you can to learn and improve your life as a professional and that of your newspaper.
That is what is so particularly gratifying about these young professionals. They're in it for the betterment of newspaperdom and journalism.
Listen, I'm an old codger in comparison to some of these "kids", but I have no doubt that our industry is in good, able hands with them.

How many different applications of outdoor lighting does your facility have? Security, walkways, parking lots, entry, flagpole, and landscaping are common applications. All of these must comply with Art. 210, and with these requirements from Sec. 225.7:
- The ampacity of the neutral conductor must be at least equal to the net calculated load between the neutral conductor and all ungrounded conductors connected to any one phase
- You can supply the luminaires at no more than 277V
- You can supply the auxiliary equipment of electric-discharge lamps at no more than 600V
In the past, these limits sometimes made it challenging to get sufficient light without excess voltage drop when lighting a large area such as a campus. Simply running oversized conductors might not be practical or even enough of a solution. You might have to think in terms of 480V distribution and stepdown transformers, with all the attendant installation costs, security concerns, and maintenance issues.
Technology has changed this game. Today you have many good choices in attractive outdoor LED lighting. Their significantly lower power draw makes it much easier to design a Code-compliant outdoor lighting system with less infrastructure. You may further reduce design challenges by using solar-powered units, rather than wired, as part of your outdoor lighting mix.

Vacuum Lifter for Coil Handling
Designed for safety, the unit also is equipped with a VLS-8 vacuum leakage sensor, powered independently by a 9-v lithium battery, which sets itself to the vacuum system's peak vacuum level and displays it on an LCD in front of the operator. If a 10-percent or greater vacuum loss or leakage occurs, the sensor triggers a loud horn and signals the LED warning light to begin to flash.
