FeaturesChinaIncome inequality on the rise in China Although statistics are sketchy, the chasm between rich and poor seems to have widened in China. 12 Jan 2013 14:51 GMT | China China's GDP has increased, but so has the gap between its wealthiest and poorest people [Jenni Duggan/Al Jazeera]By Jennifer Duggan Shanghai, China - This country's economic boom has lifted millions of its citizens out of poverty and led to predictions it will become the world's largest economic power by 2030. However, while China's GDP has increased, so has the gap between its wealthiest and poorest citizens, placing the country among the most unequal nations in the world, according to a study by a Chinese institute. China's Gini coefficient, a widely accepted measure of income distribution, reached 0.61 in 2010, according to findings by the Survey and Research Centre for China Household Finance. A score of zero represents perfect equality while a score of one represents total inequality, with one individual possessing 100 percent of a country's income. Inequality is starkly visible in large cities such as Shanghai, where Lamborghinis and Porsches are a regular sight outside expensive restaurants, while beggars sit on the pavement with plastic cups looking for change. In the shadow of looming skyscrapers lie cramped dormitories for migrant labourers who work on some of the world's most expensive properties. "There is a huge gap between rich people and ordinary people in China," said Yang Zhang Yi, a retired worker, as he was waiting for a subway train in Shanghai. "Maybe the government should pay more attention on ... how to tax the rich people and reduce the taxes for the poor people." "Maybe the government should pay more attention on ... how to tax the rich people and reduce the taxes for the poor people." - Yang Zhang Yi, retired worker The Chinese government has not released official Gini coefficient figures since 2000, when they put the figure at 0.412. In 2012, the National Bureau of Statistics said it was "slightly higher than 0.412" in 2010, but didn't give an exact figure, reported Xinhua, the Chinese state news agency. In March, Bo Xilai, the now ousted former Communist Party secretary of Chongqing, said that the figure had exceeded 0.46. The World Bank, in a report published in February, cited income inequality as one of the main challenges facing China. The report stated that "the sustained increase in income inequality places China at the high end of income inequality among Asian countries". The World Bank hasn't issued Gini coefficient figures for China since 2005, when it estimated it to be 0.425. Chinese estimates of the country's Gini coefficient have varied considerably. For example, in September, the International Institute for Urban Development in Beijing calculated China's Gini coefficient to be 0.438 in 2010, much lower than the Survey and Research Centre's result. Professor Gan Li, the centre's director, said he could not explain the differing figures but added that their study, which surveyed 8,400 households, was the first to publicly release all its data. In an interview with the Communist Party-owned Global Times newspaper, Zheng Xinye, a professor at Renmin University, said the real figure may be even higher than 0.61 - as it is difficult to survey the super-rich in China. He blamed the widening income gap on "restrictions that kept small and medium-sized companies from entering high-profit sectors, as well as by employment discrimination". However, Professor Martin Whyte, a sociologist at Harvard University who has carried out research on attitudes towards inequality in China, said he found the figure of 0.61 hard to believe. "The best survey research on income gaps leads to the same conclusion that the figure [Gini coefficient] is rising but is nowhere near these sort of figures," he said. Regional differences Inequality may also have increased between the country's wealthy east coast, where the major cities of Shanghai and Beijing are located, and the rural interior. Earlier this year, the gap between urban and rural areas was highlighted with the news that students in an area of Hubei Province had to provide their own desks for school, in stark contrast with the air-conditioned schools in the country's largest cities. The gap between urban and rural incomes is about 26 percent higher than in 1997 and 68 percent higher than in 1985, according to a report by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. More than half of China's workers now live in urban areas, as rural migrants move to cities for better employment options. According to official figures, there are now 252 million migrant workers, many of whom now live in the country's cities. They usually are not entitled to healthcare, a pension or free education for their children under China's household registration system or hukou, which divides citizens into urban and rural residents and allocates public services accordingly. "There is lots of research saying that it is not income inequality per se that affects social instability, it is unequal opportunities." - Sun Liping, Tsinghua University professor Whyte said one of the reasons for inequality in China is the divide between rural and urban Chinese. "Other countries don't have a system like the hukou and the caste-like system it produces," he said. The Chinese authorities have made pledges to reduce the gap between rich and poor and to address corruption. In his opening address during the Communist Party Congress in November, President Hu Jintao made an ambitious target for 2020 to double per capita income from 2010 levels for both urban and rural dwellers. And in October, the State Council said it would draft a plan to reform the current income distribution system. The level of income inequality is "largely because China has very little income transfer. The government used resources to build investment infrastructure," Gan said. "It is time for the Chinese government to change its spending priority from infrastructure to income transfer and social welfare programmes." In an article for the Economic Observer, Sun Liping, a professor at Tsinghua University, reffered to research estimating that there were 180,000 protests, riots and other mass incidents in China in 2010. However, it is not known if any were directly related to income inequality, and Gan said he had found no evidence that the figure of 0.4 was a warning line for social unrest. But he added: "There is lots of research saying that it is not income inequality per se that affects social instability, it is unequal opportunities. If there [are] vastly unequal opportunities, people will feel unsatisfied." He believes that while there is room to improve, there "is a lot of social infrastructure in China that still works ... It is getting worse but the situation is not at the tipping point". Income inequality will be one of the main challenges facing the country's new leaders, who will formally take power in March. The wealth of China's elite is controversial, and has recently been the subject of several foreign media investigations. In December, Bloomberg exposed the vast fortunes of the offspring of China's founding fathers, while earlier last year it also published an investigation on the business interests of the extended family of Xi Jinping, the soon-to-be president of China. The New York Times also published an investigation into the wealth of the family of prime minister Wen Jiabao. While income inequality is a major issue for Chinese citizens, commuters in Shanghai had confidence in the Chinese government's ability to solve the problem. "There is now a limitation of the top salary," said Sun Xue Hong "For the poor, the government is trying to increase their salary at the same time. So this way the gap can become smaller and smaller." And one young professional who gave her name as Alice said that, while the chasm between rich and poor has grown, she believed "the new government will take measures to narrow this gap". "I am not sure about all Chinese people," she said. "But I am more confident now and I get more confident that these problems can be sorted out."

Acts of Kindness: Laverne Croucher
LAS VEGAS - Eighty-nine-year-old Laverne Croucher is sharp, spry and full of spirit.
"I feel like forty or fifty, and then my body starts crying," she said.
Croucher says she does not plan to slow down. She runs the Loving Hands Sewing Ministry.
Twenty four years ago, her husband converted what used to be the patio in the back of their Las Vegas home into a sewing center. She collects boxes of gently used clothing, shoes and toys and transforms them into gifts for hundreds of children.
"I don't do anything half way. That's why this has almost gotten beyond me," she said. "My passion is needy children. They're innocent victims in this world. They can't help what happens. I vow I'm going to take care of them 'till the day I die. If I have to sew twenty four hours a day, give up eating."
The sheds at the back of her property are filled with items that will soon be distributed to area churches. Croucher says plenty of work still needs to be done. She says she's in desperate need of two things: denim and volunteers.
"I'm trying to find a company online where I can get a good deal on denim. All kids want are jeans, but I can't afford denim," she said.
"What's with all you older women? Do you play bridge all the time? Give up a couple of hours. There are thing you can do that I need help with, to free me up to do the sewing," she said.
8 News NOW is rewarding her efforts, awarding her $800 as part of its weekly series Acts of Kindness. If you wish to nominate someone for Acts of Kindness, visit our website or e-mail us.
If you wish to contact Laverne Croucher and her Loving Hands Sewing Ministry, she can be reached via the Canyon Ridge Christian Church at 702-658-2722.

At last they're here! Today, December 14, 2001, nine years after the Maastricht Treaty,
I have euro coins in my hand!
Dozens of euro coins in my small hands! Right now they're on my desk since I'm typing this writeup.
1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents (small red copper-covered coins), 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents (middle-sized yellow coins), 1 euro, 2 euros (heavy bimetallic coins).
My entire fortune in euros amounts to 15.24 euros! I never had so many euros in my hand! Well, I never had any euro at all until now.
Why do I have euros two weeks before they become legal? Because they're beginning to sell small euro bags today in post offices and tobacco shops. Actually only tobacco shops are selling them because post offices have gone on strike. I forgot to mention it: I'm in France.
Of course we cannot use them until January 1st. But it still makes a difference to be able to touch them. The new currency is becoming real.
My 40 coins are nothing compared to the incredible amount of coins that are being produced in Europe: about 56 billion euro coins! 250,000 tons of coins!
The coins are rather nice. Their size, shape and edge have been designed to make the life of blind people easier. This is not different from existing French coins, which I can already recognize in my pocket with my fingers. The two colors, white and yellow, of the bimetallic coins (1 and 2 euros) are not as different as they look like on Web sites which present them.
An interesting feature of the coins is that they have a country-specific face. You could buy a porno magazine and receive the change with coins from Vatican. So after a few months, I guess everybody will have Italian, German, French, Spanish, Greek coins in their hands and be able to use them to buy their bread or beer. The percentage of international coins in any given country will indicate how much people travel in the European Union. French coins display a tree on 1- and 2-euro coins, a sower woman on 10- to 50-cent coins (she's already portrayed on Francs coins) and another woman's face on 1- to 5-cent coins, along with the "RF" initials ("République Française"). Women have always been associated with the Republic here, although none of them has ever had an important role in macho French politics.
There is just one problem with euro coins. Apparently 2-euro coins look just like Thai 10-baht coins, so that you can use Thai coins in European vending machines after January 1st. 10 bahts are worth only 0.25 euros. The machines will probably be updated in the future.
In case you want to make your own coins, here are the technical specifications:
Face Value Diameter Thickness Weight -----------------------------------------------------------------
2 euro 25.75mm 2.20mm 8.5g
1 euro 23.25mm 2.33mm 7.5g
0.50 euro 24.25mm 2.38mm 7.8g
0.20 euro 22.25mm 2.14mm 5.74g
0.10 euro 19.75mm 1.93mm 4.10g
0.05 euro 21.25mm 1.67mm 3.92g
0.02 euro 18.75mm 1.67mm 3.06g
0.01 euro 16.25mm 1.67mm 2.30g
(The values relating to thickness are of an indicative nature)
Technical specifications: http://www.emuaware.forfas.ie/what/notecoin.html If you want to see what the coins look like: http://www.bcibank.ca/euro/english/notes.htm
Update, 2002/02/19: during the first 50 days of euro, I had:
I expect to obtain more foreign coins once the tourist start invading Paris in May or June. But should I say "foreign"? I don't really see Belgium or Spain as foreign countries.
One of the more amusing pieces of fallout observed in early 2002 from the conversion of the European Union to the euro for real-world transactions was the discovery that many European vending machines were prone to confusing less-valuable coins from Thailand with the 2 euro coin.
The 10-baht coin has the same weight (8.5 grams) and very nearly the same dimensions as the 2 € piece (the baht is 0.25 mm thicker). Both coins are bi-metallic, with a gold-colored center and a silver-colored outer ring. The result was that many vending machines could not distinguish between the two coins. Bad news for vending machine operators- the 2 euro coin is worth 8 times as much as the 10 baht coin! More advanced vending machines- capable of judging metallic content- are able to tell the two apart, but many other machines required refitting (often only a software update), or had to be replaced.
The problem first appeared in Spain, but later spread as enterprising world travelers discovered that they could turn a nice profit by using left-over 10-baht coins in unsuspecting European vending machines. The problem was quickly resolved by vending machine operators eager not to loose money on underhanded currency conversions, and was expected to dissapear by the end of 2002.
(For reference, as of April 2002 1&euro = aprox. 38.5 baht, and 10 baht = 0.26&euro)

Air Bag light won't go off
Yesterday while i was in idle my air bag light came on and now it won't go off. I read in my manual that i need to have it serviced immediately. But why will it not go off.

Intrepid Theatre presents Tayo Aluko: Call Mr Robeson
add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
Intrepid Theatre presents Tayo Aluko (UK) in Call Mr Robeson the rollercoaster journey through actor, singer and pioneer civil rights activist Paul Robesons remarkable life. This simply-told but immensely powerful play (The Scotsman) highlights how Robesons radical activism caused him to be disowned and disremembered, even by the leaders and descendants of the civil rights movement and helps to restore him to our collective memory, with great grace. 4 Stars, The Scotsman
With much fiery oratory and Robesons famous songs, such as Ol Man River, Tayo Aluko revives one of the 20th Centurys most impressive but overlooked figures in this powerful, compelling performance, which was seen at New Yorks Carnegie Hall in February 2012.
A stunning piece of musical theatre

It also use Java 1.5 feature, and now Ivy is still requiring to be Java 1.4 compatible. And as far as I understand, on long running jvm, it means another process should live as long as Ivy does. Ivy is used in long running jvm like Eclipse, for the plugin IvyDE. Not sure it is best.

Blueprint for building success
Keith Griffiths is chairman of the global board of Aedas, the world's second-largest architectural firm, and also chairs the company's Middle East and Asia business. He studied architecture at St John's College, Cambridge University in Britain, and has spent more than 25 years of his professional career in Hong Kong. Griffiths has led the development of many prestigious projects around the world, including designing the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link in West Kowloon, the Elements mall in Kowloon and the 350,000 sqft retail and residential development of The Landmark Mall in Chongqing. In his own office, Griffiths brings to life the concept of learning on the job with a highly fluid and innovative training style designed to empower his staff. He talks to Liana Cafolla.
What is the most difficult aspect of your job, and how do you deal with it?
The most enjoyable aspect is design. The most difficult is people. If the staff are comfortable and happy, then their delivery and their product is good.
The building process is incredibly expensive and complex, done over a period of years. Spending is huge. The opportunities for loss of trust are massive and, as professionals, we must maintain that high level of trust the clients have in us, and the confidence of our teams that they can deliver. These are the difficult areas - keeping this balance and high level of professionalism and service means keeping staff happy, trained and invigorated.
Describe your leadership style
We're a people company. We don't have any value except our intellectual value. So it's important that a consistent standard is set. It's crucial that people coming in feel the company cares.
How do you motivate your staff?
We give ownership to local people. They have shares, and they share the profits of the company. We encourage them to take more shares and to open other offices. We say, anywhere you want to go and open an office, we'll support you. We [also] have a very clear, professional structure.
Can you describe your training process?
I have team leaders who have 15 years' experience and, below them, three or four deputies who have five to 10 years' experience, and below them you have architects with less than five years' experience and so on. A typical team might be 20 to 30 people. Our teams are very flexible. They only exist as long as the project exists. All these people come together and they create that product. By creating that product, they all improve [and] increase their level of professionalism and expertise. By migrating to the next series of projects, they take that increased expertise and move it on into the next project. What happens then is that people have a clear career and training path. They can see the process going on around them. We carry a huge amount of expertise into a job, but we also learn.
What's the critical lesson you've learned as a leader?
How to communicate effectively and well, precisely and consistently. I don't think I'm the greatest communicator in the world and that's something I've had to focus on very hard. I'm a good communicator about my designs. It's easy to communicate something you have enthusiasm for. It's less easy to communicate about the more humdrum aspects, though they may not be humdrum to others. What I try to do is to see the advantage in everything, no matter what there is. In the 2008 [global financial] collapse, [I thought] there must be something good, and yes, there [were] people out on the street to be hired.
How would you describe yourself?
I've always been an intuitive optimist, one of the most dangerous varieties. And intuition's good if you're leading a company, but you need to have other steady hands to pull you back occasionally. One of the most important things about being a leader is to have a team, to trust the team, to build a good team.
Like his staff, Griffiths shares a desk in an open-plan office
He is director of the Asian Youth Orchestra and the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong
He believes an old Welsh saying: 'He who would be a leader must be a bridge'

I know it's hard to believe after yesterday's post about how the Dallas Stars keep putting themselves into penalty trouble, but there is a bright side to the team discipline picture.
As frustrating as the start to the season has been, the Stars are actually in a slightly better position than they were at the same time last year. The 2011-12 Stars committed 41 penalties in their first seven games as compared to 37 this year.
And this year's Stars, while still having trouble keeping themselves out of the box for stick fouls, are doing a decent job of drawing their own power play opportunities.

A little storyboard I did for a twitter challenge by
Austin Madison
. The challenge was to do a four panel stoyboard on "rejection".
I'm actually a couple of days late for the challenge but I'm having a busy week. (busy in a good way) Still I really wanted to draw this nice-guy jock losing out to an evil geek. (That's what you get when you grow up watching John Hughes' films, I guess...)
Done digital with SketchBook Pro and Photoshop.

"It certainly was intrusive and constituted a statutory nuisance. It was clearly of a very disturbing nature and it was also compounded by the duration — this was not a one-off, it went on for hours at a time. It is further compounded by the frequency of the episode, virtually every night."That should be a crime.

I know you just said it wrong because you don't want to seem to know too much about it.
That's why you call it a bildo.

I remember my honeymoon night when Mrs. Hoosier wondered why I was wearing earplugs and noseplugs. I told her there were two things I couldn't stand. The sound of a woman screaming and the smell of burning rubber.
- edutcher said...
I don't think the neighbors are her real problem. Rachel looks like she hasn't had any in a while.
She either needs ear plugs or to rent "When Harry Met Sally". A lot of people make noise - then.
Also, this is the kind of society people like Bambi and Kerry think we should be?

That should be a crime.
I recall a former Playboy playmate from Fla (I forget her name) who later became a porn star herself was a loud screamer..
Yes, as I recall, her name was Terry Wiguel.
I know, I know.. A porn star should hardly qualify as a bench mark.. but my point is what if some people are naturally predisposed to be loud?
There is nothing 'criminal' about it. - 12/15/09, 3:27 PM

Sorry Adele, but I meant a gag ball. You know, one of those balls with jokes all over it that an angry neighbor can bounce against someone's wall.
Anyhow, I hope the guy in the noisy couple was wearing a flubber. Imagine how difficult it would to keep a child from awaking in such a noisy household.
That neighbor looks like she's into blondage. - 12/15/09, 3:56 PM

This is completely unnecessary. I have my sex partner's sounds of satisfaction saved on my Ipod which I wear during sex with or without her. She is prohibited from providing any ad lib at this point. We are a nation of laws God dammit! Britain is apparently the wild west, devoid of any civilization.

You might find this list of common examples of decibel levels interesting.
After reading this, I've concluded this is one of those British laws they pull out to use on whomever gets in their crosshairs. Conversation is 50 dbs, for example.

This post is for me!!!
I had constant problems with the bed and my upstairs neighbor which after reading this account I suppose I should be grateful for.
But I obtain vicarious satisfaction nonetheless.
HINT for those who live in apartments and have noise problems with neighbors, post delicately on blogs that you think your neighbor will read. I did that, not naming names of course, and soon the problem abated somewhat.
And yes! I bouncy ball is still in the offing for downstairs neighbor and HIS noise. - 12/15/09, 5:37 PM

You should all start f*&%ing your significant others more often. It will help you get through your perceived pain of the Obama years.
It will also make you less prude and more likely to support the transformation of the GOP into a party that doesn't believe in such magical things as anti-Keynesian economics, and of course, abstinence-only education. - 12/15/09, 7:16 PM

Hey Ritmo, been hung out to dry by any more Brazilian chicks lately?
Maybe it has to do with how you relate to women and people in general. Therapy might be an option.

I just posted a comment I thought was funny and informative. And after it strangely elicited a few hostile comments, I posted another funny one. So it really doesn't appear that I'm the one with a problem, R Leonard Part 6 or whatever your name is.

Oh, that's because they were thoughtful, too. I know smart and fun don't go well together in your book. It must be confusing.

Not really. I just couldn't let your moment of sheer unadulterated genius pass without comment. However, as you'll see in a few moments, I understand why your first assumption would be that you got under my skin.
"Every successive comment on this thread ... is being posted by yet another person who is very likely not having sex at that moment."
Read what you wrote carefully.
What you wrote would include you, if you didn't notice that while you were typing. The whole, "Hurrh hurrh, I'm better than you 'cause you're not getting laid because you're commenting on a blog" attack tends to work better when it's not delivered via a comment on a blog.
(And, y'know, it doesn't take an Einstein-level IQ to figure out that people don't post on the internet while they're playing hide the salami. Just in case you thought you were going to alert the world of your breakthrough discovery.)
"Which makes my supposition that they're not getting any that much more likely."
Oh, I'll freely admit that I'm not getting any at the moment. I'm not particularly uncomfortable with that and I'm not so insecure that a random fuckwit on the iternet saying, "Hurrh hurrh, you're not getting laid," bothers me in any meaningful way.
However, I know that when reaching for insults, most people go with what they know and select a line of attack that would work on them. People who make fun of other people's looks almost always do so because they themselves are insecure about their own looks, for example. In fact, the best way to figure out what line of attack will get under someone's skin is to listen to the insults that they throw around.
So, you've just revealed to everybody that you're not getting laid and that you're insecure about this.
Further, since you think that there's some sort of relationship between one's willingness to subscribe to Keynesian economic theory and the amount of fucking they do, you've revealed that not aren't you getting any at the moment, but that you don't know the first thing about sex.
This is the kind of thing that insecure teen virgins in high school do. "Hurrh hurrh, you listen to this or that band 'cause you're not gettin' any!"
So, at a guess, you're not only not getting any now, but you haven't gotten much over the course of your life and you're obviously really insecure about that.
If you don't want people to point this sort of thing out, you might not want to bring up your own inability to get laid, even indirectly. - 12/15/09, 8:57 PM

What, you want I should sweep aside the dinner dishes and do it right there, with my son sitting in his chair and everything?
Or maybe with regard to earlier, you're suggesting I should sweep off the desk and/or table in the primary homeschooling room and do it, right there, right then?
You know, there was a period--I remember those days!--when we could be both more creative and flexible--and in both time and place--but, well, um, ahem.
The truth is, commenting from anywhere and everywhere between bouts of work of all types is way easier than screwing in that context.
Well, at least in certain phases of life. Ah, so it goes. - 12/15/09, 9:42 PM

To understand the context of that, it's probably important to note that my DH telecommutes full-time, as do I, almost entirely. Thus, my statement is weird only in the sense of poking friendly fun at the commenter formerly known as Montana Urban Legend. - 12/15/09, 9:48 PM

It was interesting to watch you subject a simple, light-hearted instance of jest to such detailed analysis and intensive scrutiny, Youngblood. So, in the spirit of my contrarian impulses toward wrongdoing, I'll bite at the opportunity to address whatever tendency prompted the blogress' knocks at Judith Warner earlier today.
Please allow me to explain.
I think that the best writing is the most honest, and the most honest writing describes what you've experienced personally. So in the spirit of getting personal and moving away from the mental masturbation that your arguments by assertion have devolved into, why don't we just resolve this in as straightforward a manner as possible? Now, here is what you said, and below it follows my response:
"Oh, I'll freely admit that I'm not getting any at the moment. I'm not particularly uncomfortable with that and I'm not so insecure that a random fuckwit on the iternet saying, "Hurrh hurrh, you're not getting laid," bothers me in any meaningful way.
However, I know that when reaching for insults, most people go with what they know and select a line of attack that would work on them. People who make fun of other people's looks almost always do so because they themselves are insecure about their own looks, for example. In fact, the best way to figure out what line of attack will get under someone's skin is to listen to the insults that they throw around.
So, you've just revealed to everybody that you're not getting laid and that you're insecure about this."
I got laid this weekend, Youngblood, barely three days ago.
So the challenge now becomes this: When was the last time you got any?
Of course, I'll admit to being insecure about not getting enough, not getting as much variation as I'd like, or not getting it in as sublime and visceral a manner as possible, but that's because, as a human, I like to best myself and my previous experiences. I also have been known to tend toward desires and appetites that could be contrasted to yours in a manner similar to the contrast between a five star restaurant and McDonalds, respectively. Now, I'm not putting your tastes down, mind you. I'm just pointing out how mundane and easily gratified you seem to come across in this sense.
And yet, I subscribe to the quaint notion that my willingness to seek novelty and sublimity in the visceral realm is related to my desire to satisfy an equally profound intellectual itch. But I'll leave it to you to decide the significance of that.
Of course, the fact that you couldn't see any of this as unrelated to prudishness and the desire to legitimize the bullshit proposition of abstinence-only education might reflect on your intellectual urges, as well. Or perhaps you just read too much into something you felt like taking much more personally than I would have. And that is pretty interesting given the relationship that you imagine exists between a willingness to make a joke and some sort of psychological insecurity regarding the subject matter of that joke.
Now, what I was saying was that the relationship between rejecting Keynesianism and embracing abstinence-only education isn't causal, but correlational. The common cause of both of those things, however, is stupidity. And as for the relationship between stupidity and sexlessness, well, see above.
And while possibly off-topic, I should point out -- given the frequency with which the topic of health care has been raised lately -- that sex is good for one's health generally. Perhaps that's a point you can take less defensively than you might were we to ponder the more specific connection between sexuality and intelligence -- or as I would call it, one's "intellectual health". But that's also up to you. - 12/16/09, 5:38 PM
- Youngblood said...
Thank you very much for illustrating and proving the points I made last night so beautifully. I really do appreciate it. - 12/16/09, 9:21 PM
- Ritmo Brasileiro said...
Only point proved is that you it was right to expect you couldn't offer anything but this pathetic cop-out.
- Youngblood said...
Some random douchebag on the internet said that I copped out! Oh no, what am I going to do!
Actually, I'm not going to explain how nearly every sentence in your comment confirmed what I already knew, but I will give you a free clue.
Last night, I suggested that you were projecting your own insecurities into others. While many people engage in that kind of behavior, not everybody does. It was a crap shoot on my part and I played the odds.
Your response today was a pretty textbook example of reaction formation, another psychological defense mechanism that's closely related to projection.
Quiz question: If you're so smart, how come I could easily troll your ass and get you respond exactly how I wanted using simple psychodynamics?
You can take some time to think about that one. I'm off to bed. - 12/17/09, 1:01 AM

Gate 2011 cutoff queries
February 16, 2011
Hi guys,
Gate 2011 finished off 3 days ago, and it seems a the number of people aspiring for IITs this year is HUGE! Since the answer keys have been put up by various coaching institutes, people have a fair idea about ther GATE marks.
To my surprise, there has been unexpected traffic to my blog post IITs and Gate Cutoff Story 2010 written way back in May 2010! 🙂 (More than 1000 hits in last 4 days.. Seriously! Nobody used to wonder here before! :P)
I am really happy to see the enthusiasm among the students to know what chance they have for getting admissions into the top Colleges in India. But I would still tell all you guys to wait before the actual GATE result is out, (which will not be until 2nd week of March!) before you really start thinking about where to take admission.
If you still have any doubts, I will be happy to answer your queries to the best of my knowledge. Please note that I am from CSE department, and dont know much about cut-offs of other departments. You are welcome to post your queries here or at the above mentioned blog post as comments!
Best Luck! 🙂

Thanks in advance 🙂-

March 4, 2011 at 3:20 pm@Aditya and Prateek,
Please be patient and wait for results. Just 2 weeks to go for that I guess! 🙂 Then feel free to ask your questions once you know your exact AIR. You will have plenty of time to prepare for interview after that.
March 5, 2011 at 4:46 amhello sir.

March 6, 2011 at 8:03 amSir,
i got 27.08 marks in gate 2011 ME i belongs sc cat can i take admission in any nit -
March 9, 2011 at 2:22 pmSir,
I expect 35 marks in GATE 2011 CS. I am from general category. It would be very helpful if you will let me know some decent institutions that I can go ahead for applying with this score. Though need not be accurate, please share your views regarding my query. Also let me know if my score is sufficient for applying in DIAT, Pune institute for M.Tech, CS. Thanks.-
March 9, 2011 at 5:23 pmSir,
DIAT is DRDO's recognized training centre.
M.Tech in Cyber-security is conducted by DIAT.
Since I am not sure if my score is valid enough
to apply for this course, it will be helpful if you
can get any sort of info regarding this.Also, plz let me know what good institutes I can
expect with my estimated score of 35. This is
my first GATE attempt and I have less idea
regarding admissions. Thanks for your help.-
March 9, 2011 at 5:26 pmHi, with 35 you dont have any chance for IITs. For other colleges / DIAT i have no idea. Maybe you should contact some Gate coaching center which provides post GATE guidance.. like Gate forum.
March 9, 2011 at 2:30 pmhi
Iam thinking of doing mtech in bitspilani this year but how far is iit better than bits?(im also thinking of doing 1 year coaching for gate)so is it worth it or if am able to get bits should i join?
March 9, 2011 at 4:22 pmI personally dont think BITS Mtech is comparable to IIT. But thats my opinion. Please decide for yourself whats best.. 🙂

March 15, 2011 at 12:43 pmHi guys,
This is a common reply to all.
For CSE, if you have AIR > 1000 forget about IITs. If you have AIR < 2000, some NITs might be possible. I have no info on that.
For any other score, I cant tell you which college you will get since I have info on only IIT Kanpur.
For any other branch besides Computer Science I dont have any information. So, I can answer any questions regarding your branch.
March 15, 2011 at 12:45 pmOne more thing, for cuttoffs to different colleges, contact Gateforum or other institutions, they have more info. They have something called postgateguide.. http://www.gateforum.com/GATE_admissions_guide.php

March 20, 2011 at 3:50 pmHi Jay,
Apologies for the harassment – I saw the dogpile of posts above! – but I have a rather unusual profile, so I'd appreciate your help.
I took the GATE (CS) last year, in 2010, and got a rank of 159 and a score of 845. However, my academic record in college has always been uniformly horrible due to my awful handwriting; I usually barely passed the written papers but had excellent marks in everything else (practicals, oral examinations, project work, etc.). I graduated last year with a four-year average of 58.51% – for reference, the topper of the university usually has around 75% to 80% – and am thus disqualified from IITB and IITD.
The IITK mentioned a minimum eligibility of 55% in the qualifying degree, however, and I meet that criterion. Personally, I'm interested in algorithmics and computer architecture; I may want to pursue a Ph.D. later, and these are the subjects that I'm drawn to.
(I've also heard that IITK is the best when it comes to algorithms and theoretical CS, as compared to IITB and IITD, which are more into the systems and electronics side. How true is this?)
So the question: Do you think I have a good chance of getting into the M.Tech. program? (I've already applied, but an assessment of my chances and any further guidance would be *VERY* helpful.) And what other institutes do you think I should apply to?

May 7, 2011 at 8:35 pmJay,
Congrats for getting your proposal accepted for GSOC, I had a query regarding algorithms research opportunity overall at IITK vs IITD, some of my friends were saying that Sandeep sen,naveen garg are very reknown facutly in algorithms. I know that there
are many profs in Theoretical CS in general at IITK, but is algorithmics also one of the strengths of IITK CS department??I am asking this because I already accepted IITK's offer for MTech (CS), I have an interview call for MS(By research) at IITD need to decide on whether to attend for interview :).
Thanks much!
May 8, 2011 at 3:26 pmSir, my GATE score is 363 and marks are 28 and I got 90% in GATE 2011. I belong to SC category. I have applied to Department of CSE at ISM Dhanbad for M.Tech. in computer application. Is there any chance for me getting admission. They provided generally list of candidates who are eligible for counseling I am one of that. But I want to know is there any chance for me getting admission. I belong to SC category. Sir i m waiting for your reply. Thankyou
May 10, 2011 at 10:29 amHello,

I have rank 2075 and score 603. Can I get NIT warangal, Trichy ,Surathkal OR Calicat ?????? -
May 21, 2011 at 3:31 amHi Jay,
I just got selected for Mtech at IIT K. I also gave interview at IIT Delhi which went well. But i little confused over the pattern in which IIT K and IIT D professors conducted the interview.
In IIT K , the profs were very uncooperative and sometimes making fun. In IIT Delhi they were very encouraging. So i just want to know from your experience in dept, how the profs are in IITK. Are they supportive and encouraging ? Again it might vary from case to case but in general.
Since IITK Mtech is more thesis oriented course, do all the students who do their Mtech are able to publish papers in IEEE etc? What if one is not able to do soAlso if i get selected for iit delhi as well which do u think i should opt for?
May 21, 2011 at 11:46 amIITK proffs are also very supportive and encouraging. I dont know why you got this feeling.. May be you talked to wrong students in the department who might have discouraged you!
In every college, there are some students who like the course work and teaching because they understand it and work hard, and some people are other wise.
Again as you said, IITK is more research oriented… Not all students publish papers, but the once that do publish papers are considered very successful.. Those who dont manage to publish, still get their degree if they have put in serious efforts!
IIT D, you should ask some students there.. they might be able to guide you.
My, view- I love IITK and the way things are taught and learned here.. The overall environment is awesome. If you are interested in algorithms and theory, this is the place to be!
Best luck..
May 26, 2011 at 2:19 pmhai.. my gate rank is 642(cse) and my score is 729 and i belongs to OBC cat. Is there any possibility of getting offer from IIT Madras. What was the last year cutoff for iit madras

May 30, 2011 at 4:25 pm@rizwan – I am not sure if the job you will get will be better than ur current job, since that will depend on your performance! But you will get a lot of opportunities to prove urself.. that is for sure!

June 22, 2011 at 12:21 pmHi Jay,
I was going through the blog regarding best profs in theortical computer science and was surprised to find that not many are there from IIT K but more from IIT Delhi. I got an idea from your previous blogs that Kanpur is good in theoretical CSE.

June 28, 2011 at 7:35 pmMy GATE 2011 score is 749 and AIR is 502.
Can I get into any IIT??

August 16, 2011 at 2:14 pmi hav got 28.95 marks in gate 2011 nd i am frm eee.my air is 7416.can i expect sv university ,tirupathi for admission
August 19, 2011 at 11:48 ammy % at BE is 57.8 . Can i get admission at IITB,D,Kan,Khar for CS if i can get into AIR in top 100.
September 6, 2011 at 5:09 pmHi Sir …I wanted to know whether B.E marks are taken into account for GATE. I have an aggregate of 54% in BE. Am I eligible for gate.Please reply me as soon as possible.
September 16, 2011 at 4:38 amHello Sir, I am very confused about what to do M.TECH or JOB…i am pursuing B.E.(CSE) and i'm placed in Infosys and Wipro…i had choose infosys due to its good training..but i'm confused whether it is necessary to do M.Tech or do job… my interest is to go to programming field and not to become domain specific.. is there is any effect on growth rate or salary….please sir solve my problem…
September 16, 2011 at 8:59 amDepends on what kind of job you want to do.. Wipro, Infosys is product based. After MTech in IIT, you get chance to go for product based companies like Google, MS, Adobe,Amazon, Yahoo etc which are more algorithm and programming profile based..
September 16, 2011 at 11:02 amIn M.Tech we become domain specific e.g. database… I want to know whether their is effect on growth rate or salary after doing M.Tech… or i can be comfortable after my B.E….I want to do product based jobs..what are the subjects that they teach u…can u send me syllabus..
September 16, 2011 at 11:12 amWho told you that we become domain specific? Even if we do, that is only because we are interested in that domain, but noone stops you from exploring other domains! Also, if you consider growth rate, after MTech, your start salary would be 3 times or even 4 times what you will get in say Wipro after BTech (Depending on how well you do during MTech). So, even thinking about growth is silly! THink about the quality of work you get to do.
The question is, are you good enough to crack GATE. That is work really hard to understand the concepts in CSE. If you are good enough for that then you need not worry about future after MTech!
September 16, 2011 at 11:13 amFor courses offered, go to department websites of IITs. All info is there!
September 16, 2011 at 8:55 amsir are there any chances of getting a job through GATE rank basis. i m doing cs and appearing for GATE this year. if some companies recruit through GATE rank for cs, then please tell.. please help me
