Subsidized campus childcare was hard-won and remains very effective, while budget cuts and the privatization of childcare threaten centers across the country.
Do police treat religious-based protest events differently than secular ones? Drawing on data from more than 15,000 protest events in the United States (1960 to 1995) and using quantitative methods, we find that law enforcement agents were less likely to show up at protests when general religious actors, actions, or organizations were present. Rather than reflecting privileged legitimacy, we find that this protective effect is explained by religious protesters' use of less threatening tactics at events.
American Indians experience forms of domination and resist them through a wide range of decolonizing processes that are commonly overlooked, misidentified, or minimally analyzed by American sociology. This inattention reflects the naturalizing use of minoritizing frameworks regarding tribal members and ethnic rather than political conceptions of American Indian nationhood, membership, and identity.
This address explores a broad framework for thinking sociologically about emancipatory alternatives to dominant institutions and social structures, especially capitalism. The framework is grounded in two foundational propositions: (1) Many forms of human suffering and many deficits in human flourishing are the result of existing institutions and social structures. (2) Transforming existing institutions and social structures in the right way has the potential to substantially reduce human suffering and expand the possibilities for human flourishing.
Social movement researchers argue that tactical innovation occurs as a response to changes external to movements, such as police repression and shifts in political authority, or is due to internal movement processes, such as the characteristics of movement organizations and actors. In this study, we locate the roots of tactical innovation in the multiplicity of movement claims articulated at protest events.

TOKYO – Japan and Australia have agreed on a free trade deal that both sides say will yield windfalls for their economies.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott and his Japanese counterpart, Shinzo Abe, announced the pact, Japan's first with a major agricultural economy, at a news conference Monday.
The deal calls for Japan to gradually phase out its nearly 40 per cent tariffs on Australian exports of beef. In turn, Australia is to end its tariffs on Japanese-made vehicles, household appliances and electronics.
"I hope that thanks to this agreement that Australia can be pivotal in assuring Japan's energy security, its resource security and its food security," Abbott told reporters.
Abbott, who led his conservative coalition to power in September elections, is leading a mission of hundreds of people to East Asia, seeking to deepen economic ties.
In Abe, a fellow conservative, Abbott has found an ally eager to strengthen diplomatic and defence ties.
Referring to Abbott by his first name, Abe said he believed the summit would lead to a "new relationship" with Australia, a fellow ally of the U.S.
Talks on the trade pact took seven years as Japan has balked at allowing foreign competition in farm products. The "basic agreement" reached by Abe and Abbott on Monday calls for the current 38.5 per cent tariff on beef from Australia to drop to 23.5 per cent for chilled beef within 15 years. The tariff for frozen beef will fall to 19.5 per cent within 18 years.
The agreement also sets limits on the amount of beef that can be imported.
Nevertheless, Abbott described the deal as a "historic" one.
According to details from the Australian trade ministry, Japan will make "deep" cuts on beef tariffs in the first year. Tokyo also agreed to increase duty-free imports of cheese and to phase out its tariffs on wine, sea products, honey and many fruits, vegetables and nuts.
Japan also agreed to end, within a decade, virtually all of its tariffs on Australian industrial products.
"This agreement is good for Australia, good for Japan, good for the region and good for the world," Abbott said.
Japan is Australia's second-biggest trading partner after China, importing over two-thirds of the beef Australia exports.
Both sides see significant potential for growth in trade, and officials say Australians can expect access to less expensive Japanese products thanks to the agreement.
"We asked so many times for this," said Akio Mimura, chairman of the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry. "This will be the last time."
Despite the tariffs it imposes on farm imports, Japan buys more from Australia than it exports to the country, mainly due to its purchases of energy and other resources.
Among the business leaders visiting Japan with Abbott were finance, gambling and mining industry executives. Gaming mogul James Packer reportedly is among them, seeking local partners for a joint venture casino that his company Melco Crown hopes to build if Japan passes a new law to allow them.
During his visit to Seoul, Abbott will finalize a free trade agreement reached earlier between Australia and South Korea.
Countries around the Pacific's rim buy 77 per cent of Australia's exports, and seven of its top 10 export markets are in Asia.
Earlier Monday, Abbott said he is determined to end Australia's "Eurocentric" bias. Australia's exports of iron ore and other resources have played a crucial role in its own affluence and the economic rise of Japan, China and other Asian economies, he said.
There was a time, Abbott said, when some organizations in Australia banned Toyota cars from their parking lots, due to animosity that lingered from World War II.
Separately, the U.S. and Japan were holding talks Monday in Tokyo on a trans-Pacific trade agreement. Australia is also a part of those talks, where progress appears to have stalled, at least partly due to disputes over U.S.-Japan trade in cars and farm products.
Japanese officials said before Abbott's visit that whaling, another contentious issue, would not be on the agenda.
Last week, the International Court of Justice ruled that Japan's annual hunt in the Antarctic was not for scientific purposes, as Tokyo had claimed, and ordered it halted. Australia, which brought the case against Japan in 2010, praised the judgment. Environmentalists have long sought an end to the whaling program on ethical grounds.

John Thomas (d. 1858), who was a farmer in the township, is buried next to his young son Joseph Thomas (d. 1853).
June 14, 1858
Aged 43 Yrs.
1 Mo. 13 Ds,
There may have been an epitaph on Mr. Thomas's gravestone originally, but if so, it was lost when the stone was reset in concrete.
Son of John
& Cordelia E.
June 30, 1853;
Aged 1 year,
5 mos, 22 ds,
History of Delaware County and Ohio by William Henry Perrin (1880) includes a short biography of the widowed Mrs. Thomas:
Mrs. Cordelia Thomas, Hyattsville, was born in Connecticut March 12, 1830; daughter of Salmon Holcomb; her mother's maiden name was Tuller, both natives of Connecticut; they emigrated to this State when the subject of this sketch was but 6 years of age; they located in Liberty, where they lived until their death. Cordelia was married in her 20th year to John Thomas, a son of David and Mary (Holcomb) Thomas, the latter was one of the earliest settlers in this county; is now 93 years of age; after the marriage of Mrs. Thomas they located on the Whetstone River, adjoining the homestead; lived there until his death which occurred June 14, 1858; they had five children, three living—Lavina (now the wife of Thomas Case), James and John. Mrs. Thomas now resided one mile south of Hyattsville, where she had 100-1/2 acres of land which she has since divided among the children reserving forty acres in her own right; John lives with his mother; was born Feb. 12, 1856.
According to a death record from FamilySearch.org, Cordelia Thomas died May 2, 1905, having lived nearly half a century as a widow.
By the way, Joseph Thomas's epitaph, though not entirely visible in the photo, appears to be the touching short poem "Epitaph on an Infant" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (b. 1772, d. 1834):
Ere sin could blight or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care;
The opening bud to heaven conveyed,
And bade it blossom there.
Thomas Cemetery, Delaware County, Ohio

Hypnosis is a method of mental programming. It is not sleep. It is not unconsciousness. It is not a giving up control. It is actually an altered state of highly focused consciousness in which the conscious mind is by-passed and access is achieved directly to the sunconscious mind.
The subcounscious mind is far more powerful than the conscious mind. It is the seat of all memory, and through it can be accessed memories, emotions, and events long since supressed, repressed or forgotten by the conscious mind. Through the subconscious mind can be revealed facts, information and causes of feelings, behaviors and attitudes which in turn can be created, strengthened, modified or eliminated according to the client's needs.

|SRB2CS: With new Match/CTF netcode! (BETA 5) Details »»
SRB2CS: With new Match/CTF netcode! (BETA 5)
Developer Last Online: May 2020
LATEST VERSION: BETA 5 (see updates below)
Hi all! It's taken a long time, but it's finally gone public. This is the official (beta) release of:
SRB2CS - SRB2 with client-side networking [v1.10.6]
*) SRB2 with no control lag! This is the first time SRB2 has seen client-side netcode; and as such, it plays a bit differently than you might expect. Control lag and spike lag have been replaced by the occasional ring miss and jumpy players, as ping/latency is still prevalent. Instead of being struck by lag, others will appear to be struck by it. Good for them!
*) True-blue client-to-client networking!
*) Match (including Team Match), CTF, and partial race support. The rest of the gametypes are not yet available, and have been deactivated for the time being. Sorry!
Due to the ambitious nature of this mod (as well as its beta status), there are still some issues with the game's features and their synchronization. I plan to patch many of these up as soon as possible; but in the meantime, take note of the following:
*) Weapon rings are not yet dropped - this is to save bandwidth and will hopefully be fixed in the future.
*) Emeralds and randomizing monitors (MixUp, Recycler, Random, etc.) are not yet properly synchronised. So if an emerald disappears right in front of you, just be nice and forgive the guy who picked it up on the opposite end of the map!
*) ADDFILE support is currently very limited. In order to play on a custom level, the host must add it using srb2net (or the -file parameter) before starting up SRB2. WAD downloads from the server are not yet supported.
*) The maximum amount of players this can (so far) support in a netgame is twelve, due to the nature of the network packets. We hope to expand this to a larger value in the future.
*) There is often a delay when you hit someone with a ring. As such, rings are not guaranteed to hit players when you see things that way (see: RINGSTATS command). This is the nature of client-side game synchronisation. However, rail rings are very likely to hit when they should; so when in doubt, rails out!
*) There is currently an invisible player limit of 12. Maxplayers can still be adjusted; but be advised that no more than 12 players will be able to join your server at any time - even if maxplayers is above 12.
*) OpenGL has been disabled for now - sorry!
The mod features quite a few commands and console variables specific to the new netcode. Some of them are particularly important:
- csconnect: Connects to a server in CS mode. This is used to manually connect to servers in CS mode. Use this if you don't want to join an SRB2CS netgame using the master server (which, keep in mind, works completely fine).
The rest of the commands are useful in specific situations, but you shouldn't have to worry about them too much in your average netgame. Changing these may have adverse effects on how the game works, so proceed with caution:
- csdelay: This delays players slightly, increasing their ping. A relatively high delay may make other players seem less jumpy; however, a lower delay will make for more accurate ring hits and is generally recommended. Range of values is 0-2 (delay is done in tics). As of beta 2, a new value - "Automatic" or "-1" - is the default, and it is recommended that it be left that way.
- clienttoclient: This feature - enabled by default - allows clients to connect directly to each other, as opposed to connecting via the host. This allows for a lower ping and also puts less stress on the host; however, network traffic on your end will increase (not very significantly). This feature can be disabled or enabled by you as a client. Players can only be linked if one of them has their ports correctly forwarded - which is highly recommended.
- ringmove: In CS mode, adjustments have to be made to compensate for ping. The type of adjustments made, however, can sometimes be chosen. There are two options to this - "fast" and "jumpy". "Fast" ringmove will cause opponents' rings to move slightly faster under certain conditions. "Jumpy" ringmove, on the other hand, will cause rings to jump ahead of opponents as they are thrown (under the right conditions). Jumpy ringmove is generally more accurate, but fast ringmove is recommended for easier usability.
- ringstats: This command shows a report of how well the netcode has performed in synchronising your hits. It gives you a percentage of successful ring hits against all players you've hit so far, and also lets you know how many were unsuccessful.
- playerlinks: If you are the host, this command will show who is linked to whom. If you are a client, this shows your links with other clients - like ping.
Adjustments to some of SRB2's official commands have been made, too:
- nodes: Shows the IDs and names of all players connected, as well as their IP address. Due to clienttoclient, all clients can see IP addresses.
- ping: As always, ping exists, and it is shown with this command (as well as player links). However, it is worth noting that ping may appear to be different to each player. If you want good points, it is recommended that you fight the players with the lower ping- unless they're the server champions, of course. =P
I'd like to thank the many friendly players and netgamers who had helped me test this mod during its development. (If you're out there, make yourself known!) Also of particular mention is Spazzo, who helped lead the direction of this mod, introduced me to the world of SVN, and motivated me to give this mod a public release. Along the way, he added a pretty interesting program that logs SRB2 battles. I've included this as a little add-on - check SRB2Stats.zip if you're interested!
Feel free to contact either myself or Spazzo on IRC if you have any questions/bug reports/feature suggestions. We'd love to hear from you!
Latest updates (Beta 5):
[This is another small bugfix update- but it's bigger than it looks.]
- The setlives command has been disabled. (Thanks Kitoko and Hinote!)
- Fixed an issue where the wrong gametype would show up on the rankings. (Thanks Hinote!)
- Fixed an issue where disabling clienttoclient would break synchronisation.
- Made many further updates to Race mode so as to include support for single-player maps, and to properly order the winning players.
Past updates:
- Beta 3 had a serious bug involving ring drops and scoring - this has now been fixed.
- A minor sound effect fix was made.
- On a similar note, sound effects can now be heard while spectating someone else.
- Some internal updates were made to make the game run more efficiently online.
- Work on Race mode has begun, but is in its very early stages. You may now try it out if you like, but there are some de-synchronising bugs I'm aware of that have yet to be fixed. Be advised also that players who appear to be crossing the finish line first may not necessarily be in first place, due to ping issues.
[No real updates were made other than a few small bugfixes. Sorry!]
- Attempted to fix a few crash bugs that have been showing up lately. Hopefully they're gone now, and hopefully no more have been created!
- Fixed team-nuke issue.
- Hopefully fixed an issue where lagging players release 'ring lasers'. Ring lasers are not an official part of SRB2's gameplay and have as such been disabled.
- SRB2CS's netcode now uses SRB2's standard interface. This means that port 5030 no longer needs forwarding, and that MS support should now be more stable. However, glitches are likely to arise, so let me know if odd things start to happen. This change is completely reversible, so don't panic if things stop working!
- cshost no longer needs to be called when you start up the server.
- The "GOT FLAG!" in Match bug has been fixed. (Thanks Sky, Kitoko and Hinote!)
- Autoaim will appear to work, but it is not yet synced; so please disable it before you play!
- csdelay has been updated to account for network instability. A new value, "Automatic", is now the default, and ping will hopefully be generally lower than it was in the past.
- The ping command now shows player links, and also displays average ping "jumpiness".
- Initial release.

In either case, this is certainly very exciting work. I wasn't able to say this before, but I will now: LXShadow, this is nothing short of incredible. I've thoroughly enjoyed working with you, for however short a time. :)

I kinda find it funny that I was never credited in this at all. I was even the very first beta tester to this and I still don't got my name up there.
Anyway LXShadow did amazing job on the netcode. Even if there a BUNCH of problems in it. It still beats the hell out of SRB2 current netcode. Including the main modes that are mostly use in net games works now. Like Race, Match, and CTF.
And including LXShadow has been gone for sometime now as well. He told me he might have stop working on this mod. And he said anyone can work on it if needed as well.
So anyone here who has learned anything about C++ can work on this mod and maybe get it done. Who knows I have study C++ for a while now. So I might give this a go and finish it for him. That is if I ever get more time.
There is nothing much to read here.

Aries, I remember doing test runs with you from time to time -- you asbolutely deserve credit. Don't take it personally, LXShadow had a lot of testers from the netgaming scene, so it must have been difficult for him to credit everyone, I'd bet.
That Aries Title
There is nothing much to read here.
It's probably not worth asking because of the differences between Doom Legacy and GZDoom, but what's Skulltag's netcode like?
Wow. Well, I've been following this topic for a few days now and it's been great to see some more in-depth views of this mod. Now I'd like to express a few of mine!
Virtually everything SpiritCrusher said has hit the nail on the head. SRB2CS was made to be an alternative to SRB2's standard netcode; more importantly though, it was meant to be a fair alternative (so, to a degree, it was intended to be an overall improvement). My original motivation to make it came from the fact that, being a European player, it's very hard to come across as competent amongst the American community, even with five years' playing experience. Playing SRB2 can be a challenge that never satisfies: if you're the host, you're playing unfairly against a weaker competition and feel bad about it; if you're a client, you're not annoying anyone with your advantage, but you are forced to look bad. Also, winning is more fun than losing IMO. =(
It was also meant as an opportunity to allow communities in remote areas to grow. Europe isn't the worst place; I feel bad for anyone in Australia who wants to play competitively online. I can bet that there are 0 competitive Australian players at the moment, and that it'll stay that way: whenever one comes along, they will have nobody to have a good game against!
Well, I'll mention this now in brutal honesty. When development on SRB2CS really took off, that was the goal I had in mind: to make a start. The fact is, as a unofficial second-hand mod I believed (and still do) that SRB2CS wouldn't be worth much unless it had support from the official dev team. SRB2CS was always meant to be a proof-of-concept as far as I was concerned, and, to be honest, I was trying to impress the dev team with it. I was hoping you guys would pick it up as an alternative in-game option, and make it 'official': official enough for it to get more than just a few players. It was never in my own intentions to finish it completely - being a concept so ambitious, I couldn't stand working on it as an unofficial mod.
And the same goes to the all the other doofs! =P I won't write any names - just in case - but you know who you are!
That, I'm afraid, includes anyone who knew about the 1.09.4 alpha-beta-beta-alpha version. Because that was a long time ago!
You were a big help though and it was a lot of fun; thank you!
It's hard to say this, but as for the future of this mod: I'm out. I'm sorry, it's not that I don't care about the people who have offered so much support - probably more than I ever realised - for this mod, it's just that my dedication to SRB2 has long since waned. I don't think it's uncommon, for people my age, to realise they could be moving on to something new. That's what I'm doing... sorry =/
It would be great if development on SRB2CS could be picked up by others, but I don't expect that to happen, nor will I ask for it.
With that, I'd like to thank everyone who played and supported this mod. It was great fun!
As for me, well, I think my code will do better elsewhere. I'll still be watching the forums for a while though- I'm not gone just yet! =D
That Aries Title
Well its about time you post something LXShadow. Been wondering if your dead or alive lately anyhow. =P
Anyway i had a lot of fun testing with you as well LXShadow.
Most of my testing was done with you and Spazzo anyway. =P
I'm never gonna forget the time when you and I had a real match in SRB2 with out the control lag. It was so damn much fun that we gotta do it again one day when we got a full server.
There is nothing much to read here.
I may have one of the fastest consumer connections in Australia, but if the server's American then I get at least 200 ping even if their connection is good too. It's ridiculous.
Dinner with a fox in a box?
I never thought I'd see the day. This looks so promising.
I think I'm doing this correctly but for some reason it says I don't have srb2/srb2.wad file or something like that. Please help me ):

The Piotroski F-Score of East Asia Minerals Corporation (TSXV:EAS) is 2. The Piotroski F-Score is a scoring system between 1-9 that determines a firm's financial strength. The score helps determine if a company's stock is valuable or not.
A score of nine indicates a high value stock, while a score of one indicates a low value stock. The score is calculated by the return on assets (ROA), Cash flow return on assets (CFROA), change in return of assets, and quality of earnings. It is also calculated by a change in gearing or leverage, liquidity, and change in shares in issue. The score is also determined by change in gross margin and change in asset turnover.
Traders may be looking to capitalize on market trends as we move into the second part of the calendar year. Closely following the technicals might help make sense of current market conditions. Investors may choose to follow many different technical signals, or they may have picked a few popular ones to dedicate themselves to. Whatever the strategy, staying in tune with fundamentals and meaningful economic data may also prove to be highly beneficial. Coming at the equity market from multiple angles may help supply the investor with alternate perspectives that could play a vital role in the next couple of quarters.
Turning to Free Cash Flow Growth (FCF Growth), this is the free cash flow of the current year minus the free cash flow from the previous year, divided by last year's free cash flow. The FCF Growth of East Asia Minerals Corporation (TSXV:EAS) is 0.982960. Free cash flow (FCF) is the cash produced by the company minus capital expenditure. This cash is what a company uses to meet its financial obligations, such as making payments on debt or to pay out dividends.
The Free Cash Flow Score (FCF Score) is a helpful tool in calculating the free cash flow growth with free cash flow stability – this gives investors the overall quality of the free cash flow.
Stock volatility is a percentage that indicates whether a stock is a desirable purchase. Investors look at the Volatility 12m to determine if a company has a low volatility percentage or not over the course of a year. The Volatility 12m of East Asia Minerals Corporation (TSXV:EAS) is 183.217500. This is calculated by taking weekly log normal returns and standard deviation of the share price over one year annualized.
The lower the number, a company is thought to have low volatility. The Volatility 3m is a similar percentage determined by the daily log normal returns and standard deviation of the share price over 3 months. The Volatility 3m of East Asia Minerals Corporation (TSXV:EAS) is 157.849800. The Volatility 6m is the same, except measured over the course of six months. The Volatility 6m is 186.882700.

The ERP5 of East Asia Minerals Corporation (TSXV:EAS) is 17004. The lower the ERP5 rank, the more undervalued a company is thought to be.
MF Rank
The MF Rank (aka the Magic Formula) is a formula that pinpoints a valuable company trading at a good price. The formula is calculated by looking at companies that have a high earnings yield as well as a high return on invested capital. The MF Rank of East Asia Minerals Corporation (TSXV:EAS) is 17835.

Judge Won't Act In Ohio Arrestees' Voting Lawsuit< < Back to
A judge has refused to intervene in a lawsuit over the voting rights of people arrested in Ohio the weekend before Election Day and detained through the election.
Federal judge Susan Dlott said in a ruling Thursday she appreciates the importance of an individual's right to vote but needs more evidence about the people affected by Ohio's laws.
Dlott also said she was concerned about creating Election Day chaos if she ordered new rules for handling arrestees' votes so close to the election.
The Cincinnati-based Ohio Justice and Policy Center said it filed the lawsuit because people arrested after the deadline for requesting absentee ballots have no way to vote.
The center says it plans to provide the evidence the judge is seeking.

1) I cut this Boston Globe Magazine story out of the paper over the holidays and just found it wedged in a Soduku book in my carry-on. It's about Nicole Freedman, whom they are calling "The Spokes Woman." Freedman has a background in urban planning and is now Boston's Bike Czar. rallying for bike share programs (like this one I told you about in Paris) and better bike lanes.
2) On a related note, here's a clever bike lane light post over at Shelterrific. It's from Good magazine, where we learned about guerrilla bike lanes a few months ago:
3) This image over at swiss miss brightens up a rainy day:
4) Melissa Hom turned the camera around on one of our very favorite photographers/bloggers Todd Selby – I spied him in his own home over at New York Magazine. By the way, any headline that mentions A.C. Slater will grab my attention every time! That magazine has some of the best article titles.
5) What do you think of "log" cabins made from concrete logs? I'm with Joe Campeau who says "Architecture 101 says respect the integrity of the materials…material should represent itself and not another material. Simply put, they're fake."
Yea or nay on the logless log home? I suppose we could get into a big semantic argument over the definition of "log." Does it imply a shape and color to you or material? What do you associate log cabins with (it's Laura Ingalls Wilder for me all the way)? Would you forgo the integrity of the material in exchange for low maintanence? Wouldn't you rather have a house that celebrates its material like this one?

During an interview on The Talk this week, Miranda Lambert revealed that she has been added to the list of performers at the 55th GRAMMY Awards on Feb. 10.
The "feisty queen of country music" (as The Talk cohost Sharon Osbourne described her) seemed genuinely thrilled to have the opportunity to perform during the music industry's biggest award show. She will join fellow country stars Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood, whose performances on the show have been previously announced.
In addition to performing, Miranda is also a GRAMMY nominee this year. Her most recent release Four the Record is up for Best Country Album. Which, of course, she sees as a great honor.
"Albums are like my babies," she said on The Talk, "[they're] what I put all my energy into. The GRAMMYs are so exclusive, and it's all genres, it's everybody voting for you, so it just means the world to have a nomination, and to get to perform."
Miranda Lambert's latest single is "Mama's Broken Heart."
Catch Miranda Lambert on her Locked and Reloaded Tour with Dierks Bentley. And tune into the 55th GRAMMY Awards Feb. 10 on CBS.

A dozen people who were active locally in Central America solidarity movements gathered June 9 at World Fellowship to reminisce, catch up, and sing songs of liberation.
The New Hampshire Central America Network formed in the late 1980s to provide greater cohesion for activists working to end US aggression against Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala. Working out of a downtown Concord office, the Network kept local activists in touch with international developments, sponsored speakers tours and delegations, organized demonstrations, and let the state's elected leaders know we opposed the imperialist policies of the Reagan and Bush I administrations.
My own memories of the period include numerous local residents making visits to Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras; speakers from Central America cris-crossing the state; sit-ins in the offices of members of Congress; and lots of meetings (of course).
Ash Eames, a Wentworth resident who was one of many New Hampshirites who traveled to Nicaragua with Witness for Peace, was the Network's key convenor.
The June 9 gathering included Ash, Deborah Stuart, Lynn Clowes, Andy Davis, Andrea Walsh, Paul Marcus, Paul Baker Hernandez, Jack Bopp, Craig Blouin, Beth Allen, Judy Elliott, and me.
As we shared what significant memories and what we've learned, just about everyone talked about the importance of building community among activists.
The NH CAN reunion was not officially on the schedule for World Fellowship, where the 2012 season gets its formal start June 25.

Chris Stapleton on Saturday Night Live
Chris Stapleton took the Saturday Night Live stage on January 16th in front of an All-Star band, furthering the off-the-charts momentum the songwriter has been riding since sweeping the three awards he was nominated for at the 2015 CMA Awards, including Male Vocalist of the Year, and Album of the Year. Since early November, Stapleton has been dominating Billboard's Country Albums charts, and Saturday night's performance only promises to keep him the most dominant force in country music for weeks to come. At his current sales pace, Stapleton is on track to have the best-selling album in all of country music in the last 18 months or longer, and he's doing it all without the benefit of significant radio play.
Speaking of radio play, Stapleton performing "Parachute" on SNL is probably a good indication this could be the next single off of his blockbuster album Traveller. His current single "Nobody To Blame" was the second song Stapleton performed. Notables joining Stapleton on stage were producer Dave Cobb on acoustic guitar, Robby Turner on keys and steel guitar, and his wife Morgane on backup vocals.
The next big event for Stapleton will be the 58th Annual Grammy awards happening Monday, February 15th, where the Kentucky native will be up for numerous awards, including Album of the Year. Recently, Pandora predicted the Grammy winners by pulling the overall number of spins for the track in the last year, and comparing that to the number of "thumbs up." By their calculations, they expect Chris Stapleton to take the night's top prize. Certainly all of the momentum Stapleton has accrued over the last few months can't hurt his prospects.

Hey Apple, Better Get Cracking on an Amazing iPhone 6
Sep 13, 2012 5:00 AM PT
When Apple introduced the iPhone 4S, I skipped it in favor of keeping my iPhone 4. So no day-to-day Siri for me. But wow, am I glad I held off and waited. The new iPhone 5 is definitely the best ever, the most usable creation to come out of Cupertino in years. And the attention to design -- love it. All of it comes together as if the pieces and parts were created from an organic DNA master plan, and when I hold the iPhone 5 for the first time, I'm utterly confident it'll feel great in my hand, which is more important than you think -- after all, most people touch their smartphones more than anything else in their lives. Even soft, furry puppies.
But there's a dark side to the iPhone 5, and as a long-time Apple fan, I see it clearly; however, I can't bear to address it until I work the current joy out of my system.
The iPhone 5 Is the Ultimate Oxymoron
On the surface, the iPhone 5 seems remarkably similar to the iPhone 4S. It shares a similar design and while it has an 18 percent larger 4-inch screen, the overall shape is unmistakably an iPhone. And yet, it seems to have been utterly redesigned. It's 18 percent thinner, 20 percent lighter, and it has 12 percent less volume. It has the larger screen, as well as a faster A6 CPU that's up to twice as fast as the old A5.
And what the about the "phone" part?
The iPhone 5 boasts a single-radio LTE solution that supports both LTE and DC-HSDPA, which means it'll get to play all over the world as well as take advantage of blazing fast speeds. So the new iPhone won't be slower than other new competing devices.
It has a new 8-pin Lightning connector, which is smaller and more durable. Have you ever busted one of the teeth in the old 30-pin connectors? I have. They are extremely hard to fix. Besides, the 8-pin will likely collect less lint, so that's a step forward. And what about all the old cords you have that won't work? There's an adapter, sure, but more importantly, the iPhone 5 cord won't work for older units, and that's fantastic: The darn kids and visitors won't be sneaking off with my iPhone 4 cord anymore -- at least for a few months.
The camera's brains are faster and smarter, and the built-in Camera app features a 40 percent faster photo capture, which means I'm more excited about this feature than anything else. There's also a new panorama feature that lets you wave your iPhone around and shoot up to 240 degrees, which creates a panoramic photo up to 28 megapixels.
If you're not excited about this panorama feature, you probably don't get outside much.
What about the headphones? The iconic white earbuds? New! It seems to me that most consumers are too lazy to research a great pair of headphones and so they've stuck with the marginal old earbuds. I tend to fall into this camp, especially when it matters most -- after I've dropped US$200 and signed up for another two years of cellular service contract. I don't want to buy new headphones then.
But Apple's new "EarPods" have been totally redesigned. Apple says they started with ears, which are notoriously shaped in different ways, and tested more than 100 prototype designs to find something that rests comfortably inside the ears and stays put. Finally. I've long felt that Apple has been ignoring this, and I can't wait to try them out.
There's more, though. Apple might have finally made a serious leap in the audio quality of the iPhone. The iPhone has three microphones, one on the front, the back and the bottom, and these now work together to achieve "beamforming" which is a fancy-pants term to describe how the iPhone 5 should now be able to deliver crisper audio of spoken voices, despite background noise.
Is the iPhone 5 New or Not?
Essentially, the iPhone 5 is entirely new. Despite the incremental evolution of the outside, the whole unit has been updated. It's a new phone. It just looks like an iPhone 4, and therein is the dark side: Has Apple, with the iPhone 5, reached the pinnacle of smartphone form and function? Is the screen the perfect size for one-hand use and ultimate pocketability? Is the slightly rounded edges with a hard 90-degree side the strongest, most easy-to-hold design?
Can Apple re-imagine a new smartphone?
Are we looking at a bleak future of incremental upgrades? Will the next iPhone 6 come in 6 snazzy new colors? Will Apple try to offer new paint and tires with the next version of the iPhone?
Unfortunately, while I'm wowed and excited about the new iPhone 5, I have long-term nagging doubts.
Has this basic overall design cycle played itself out? After all, we're talking about a consumer device. Apple created a world where people care about design, but can Apple continue to be insanely great with the overall design of the iPhone?
No doubt, the iPhone 5 will break every smartphone record known to man. It will. But what about next year? What if Apple comes out with an iPhone 6 that is 20 percent thinner, 18 percent faster, 40 percent greener, and 100 percent more colorful and yet looks like the iPhone 5?
The iPhone 5 should be the end of this cycle, but it might not be. That's the dark side I'm wondering about because even me, an unabashed Apple fan, occasionally buys something else. Some designs are classic, but I like fresh, too. I appreciate great design even if it doesn't come from Apple.
Confusing Massive Sales for Success?
Thank you, Apple, for this great iPhone 5. Seriously. We love it, and we'll eat it up. It will sell like crazy.
Just please don't confuse massive sales and happy customers for success because you're treading close to the edge. I get the impression that Steve Jobs never confused massive commercial sales with success. Sales is not the end goal. Sales is not success. Being the leader means creating products that delight, amaze, and compel the world to pay attention. Commercial sales success is a byproduct of a great product. It's just one proof point, but that's it, a proof point.
Being the leader, no matter what the market numbers say, means inciting desire, pure and simple. Hmm. How can I explain this more clearly? I want the iPhone 5 and I'll appreciate the iPhone 5, but lust? No way. That's the critical piece. Can Apple still create products that incite gadget lust?
What's our timeline here? Apple can afford to coast, but not forever. Next year Apple can coast if it has to, and we'll be marginally disappointed, but it won't matter so much because we'll all be stuck in two-year contracts. But by 2014, the game is up: Start planning to dazzle us, please. Nothing corporate. Something freaking amazing.
A revolutionary iPhone for 2013 would be great but 2014 will mark the line in the sand. With the iPhone 5, Apple has guaranteed my smartphone happiness for another two years, but it has also cracked open the door to a sliver of doubt.

Welcome to the next evolution of PASS. Unlock exclusive training, discounts, and networking opportunities designed to accelerate your data career. Learn More >
The official PASS Blog is where you'll find the latest blog posts from PASS community members and the PASS Board. Contributors share their thoughts and discuss a wide variety of topics spanning PASS and the data community.
Looking for the latest blog posts? We've recently moved the PASS Blog to its new home at https://www.pass.org/PASSBlog.aspx. You can still view older blog posts here but please update your bookmarks so you can continue getting the latest posts from the PASS Blog.
A short while back Mosha wrote an interesting blog entry putting together a comparison between the upcoming MS BI conference and the 2008 PASS Summit. This comparison was based on the information that was publicly available at the time. It got me thinking about the upcoming 2008 PASS Summit and the attendee experience planned. I realize that there is a lot of the summit experience that is still under planning or not fully confirmed and so, not communicated out. So, I am going to try in this blog.
When I look at my own reasons for attending conferences in the past, 3 things come to mind - Networking, experience and education, in that order, although, I can see why most companies tend to decide on which conference to send employees to based on mainly the education aspect of a conference. So, I will talk about that aspect of the PASS summit first.
The Education
The PASS summit has over 150 deep technical session (including 14 deep dive pre-conference seminars) dedicated to SQL Server. There is something (or a lot) for everyone to learn. You will have a chance to learn from the experience of your peers in the community based on real facts and implementations – not the marketing spin. You will learn what works and what doesn't work in a real-life implementation and you will learn best-practices. No other conference can claim to offer that depth of technical training. The summit also features a complete track (12 sessions) dedicated to best practices and implementation that is being delivered by the SQL CAT team. The PASS summit is also quite unique from any other conference that you may attend, in the diversity of speakers. Most other conferences generally have just a few expert speakers delivering multiple sessions. PASS has, at last count, 104 speakers delivering over 150 sessions! These speakers are not only industry experts and Microsoft product group members, but also our peers who have learnt in the trenches and are willing to share their experiences. This is one summit where you can come in and not only learn from others, but share your own experiences.
Speaking of education, the PASS summit also features a Lounge which will contain a theater where experts will conduct chalk-talks in an interactive environment. Additionally, there will be hands-on labs where you will be able to learn how to use new features in SQL Server 2008, including Business Intelligence.
All this great educational opportunity at the PASS summit certainly begs the question for Business Intelligence professionals about which conference to attend. If Mosha's full day pre-conference session on Deep dive into MDX is not enough of a reason to attend the PASS summit, you should make PASS your summit choice if you are a BI professional that interacts with the SQL Server product stack or manages and administers Business Intelligence components in your organization. Some of the sessions we have include "Building a 100TB+ Scientific Data Warehouse" by Michael Thomassy, "Collecting Analysis Services Performance Data by using Management Data Warehouse, SQL Profiler, and AS DMVs in SSAS 2008" by Carl Rabeler, "Integrating Predictive Analysis throughout the Data Lifecycle" by Donald Farmer and "High Performance Data Warehouses in SQL Server 2008" by Erin Welker. I have in the past 2 weeks spoken to a number of Business Intelligence professionals and colleagues and a large number of them are planning on attending the PASS summit and many have also indicated interest in Mosha's pre conference seminar! So, register before space fills up.
The Experience
This is the official Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Re-Launch Event! A target attendance of over 3000 professionals makes the upcoming PASS summit the largest global gathering of SQL Server professionals under one roof and a high-energy event you wouldn't want to miss. Attendees will include a few hundred members of the SQL Server product development team from Microsoft who will not only be interacting and speaking with attendees, but also attending the sessions and in some cases providing perspective on the design aspects of certain features. More importantly they will be listening to your experiences and pain points so that they can enhance the product.
Also attending will be top experts from the community including SQL Server MVP's who will be delighted to spend time answering your technical questions and helping solve those problems that have been plaguing you, at our Ask the Experts lounge. In fact, I am sure that many of your favorite bloggers will be at the summit looking forward to meeting you in person. One of the frequent feedbacks we have received from attendees in the past is that a few minutes of face-to-face time with one of the experts helping them solve their persistent problems have paid for the summit costs many times over. How's that for value! We are also expecting over 200 Microsoft employees who design, build and manage SQL Server solutions and databases within Microsoft. So, this is an opportunity to find out how they "eat their own dog food"!
Speaking of designing, building and managing solutions and databases, the summit will also feature the largest gathering of vendors dedicated to making products and solutions that allow you to extend your investments in the SQL Server product. You can learn about all these different (and some new) offerings and also compare them under one roof! One of our Platinum Sponsor this year is DELL and I am certain that you will hear about some of their Database solutions for SQL Server. This year, PASS will also (potentially) feature a new and exciting Lounge experience which I cannot talk about yet as details are not finalized – but you can expect to hear about it soon. You surely don't want to miss finding out all about them!
Part of the summit experience also includes discounted onsite certification exams where you can get certified in SQL Server 2008 product, participate in Microsoft focus groups and buy books at a discount from the book store.
There will also be some very exciting announcements from Microsoft during keynotes featuring top Microsoft SQL Server Management executives, Ted Kummert, Tom Casey and David DeWitt. Ted will provide a sneak peek at the future of SQL Server and Microsoft's data platform and discuss the latest release of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and new technologies debuting in the short-term, as well as reveal plans for long-term technology developments that will change the data platform landscape. Tom will discuss the overall strategy, design, development and delivery of the Microsoft business intelligence platform with SQL Server 2008 and beyond, while David is expected to discuss his vision for the evolution of the database and Microsoft's role in changing the face of data management.
For many of us, who are managing mission critical systems back at work, being disconnected from the office is not an option, the venue features a number of internet stations and free wireless connectivity throughout the summit venue so that you can check on your emails and the health of your servers while on-site.
This PASS summit also provides you some opportunity for relaxation and fun. Starting from our Heroes Unite theme, which will enhance your onsite experience, to the parties that we have planned for you (the Welcome reception on Tuesday, Expo Hall reception on Wednesday and a "signature" evening event on Thursday that you don't want to miss), you are sure to have a blast! We are also hosting the SQL Heroes contest that you have an opportunity to participate in. Additionally, there might be opportunities to attend other vendor sponsored parties. Be sure to walk through the Expo hall and talk to vendors to find out more.
The Networking
Now, this is why I attend the PASS summit. This is my opportunity to get to meet and know my peers and make friends, getting to know people who I can reach out to long after the summit. PASS is where I first met Kevin Kline, Wayne Snyder, Peter DeBetta, Fernando Guerrero, Kirk Haselden and a host of other community leaders who I now consider good friends. These networking opportunities are everywhere at the PASS summit starting from the welcome reception and stretching all throughout the summit, whether at the Lounge, trade-show floor, at one of the various parties or just out in the halls. I encourage all of you to take maximum advantage of this great opportunity to get to know your peers.
It all adds up to real Value!
The education and experience I described above is just a small part of the overall summit experience. The value that this summit provides you reaches far beyond the on-site experience. For example, many of the break-out sessions are recorded and available to all attendees online after the summit. This allows you to review those sessions that you could not personally attend because of the sheer amount of session choices in each time slot. You also have the opportunity to purchase a DVD of the sessions so that you can watch it at your leisure. Many of our speakers are also readily accessible to you. So, you can contact them with specific questions on their sessions even after the summit.
You should register now to reserve your seat at the summit before it potentially sells out due to on-site capacity constraints this year. To make your registration even more valuable, you should be able to find discount codes on some of the community sites that you regularly visit, like SQLBlog.com or SQLTeam.com. Check this link to find even more valuable discount offers from Solid Quality Mentors that you can take advantage of. They will certainly extend the value of your registration $'s.
I would love to hear from you, if you are planning to attend. If you are a speaker or an MVP, please consider writing a short blog about what you are planning on speaking about at PASS or what you are most looking forward to at the PASS Summit.
Consider this your call to action to register now! And oh – be sure to make on-site plans ahead of time using our online scheduler (going live in a couple of weeks) to make the most of your summit experience. See you in Seattle this November!

Rockers We've Lost in 2012: Suicide Silence's Mitch Lucker
Suicide Silence frontman Mitch Lucker has died at the age of 28 on the morning of Nov. 1 after a motorcycle accident in Huntington Beach, Calif. on Halloween night.
The death of Lucker shook the metal community like few have in the past. As the vocalist of one of deathcore's leading acts, fans have come out to support the family, friends and bandmates of Lucker with incredible numbers. Lucker's wife revealed that the vocalist was an alcoholic and drove while under the influence. Lucker's wife begged him not to leave, but Mitch chose to head out the door, which unfortunately led to his demise.
The surviving members of Suicide Silence released the following statement:
"There's no easy way to say this. Mitch passed away earlier this morning from injuries sustained during a motorcycle accident. This is completely devastating to all of us and we offer our deepest condolences to his family. He will be forever in our hearts.
R.I.P. Mitchell Adam Lucker. We love you, brother."

Just for the record, we are talking about the original game and not Killer Instict 2 (Arcade/N64).
It's 1995 and there is alot of hype going around. They managed to port the awecome arcare fighter Killer Instict to the SNES and considering the gameplay back then they did good! Somple controls, 3 punches, 3 kicks and start/select. You had special moves, combos and finishers.

Now after what seems to be a rumored model of Nikon, Nikon finally after few days of rumors, it's now going to be out.
The Nikon D5000 is out now and what a new revelation to entry level DSLR users and those venturing into new DSLR models. It boast of HD capable video recording quality and most importantly, a different major appearance compared to the other Nikon sets is the swivel mode of the live preview.
Photo courtesy of dpreview.com
Some specifications worth noted
Focal Point : 11 focus points (1 cross-type sensors)
Timer : 2, 5, 10, and 20 s
Uses the Multi CAM 1000 AF module, as with D90
4FPS continuous
viewfinder grid
Click HERE to read more about the specifications
Author's note
To me, I find it disturbing. It seems entry level deserved a boost but now it seems like it's trying to be more like an all into one gadget. Now DSLR is not about taking photos but having more and more video functions like the swivel mode.
Nevertheless it still serve it's purpose as a starting point for new users to DSLR and beginners alike. Thumbs up for Nikon and have your heads up for their rumored Nikon D400 upcoming towards the end of the year.

Putting It All Together
Let's stop for a minute and take a look at applying the previously discussed principles to a simplified real-world example. Assume that you are writing a data acquisition application. Your design calls for a producer thread that samples data from a device every second and stores the reading in a global variable for subsequent processing. A consumer thread periodically runs and processes the data from the producer. In order to prevent data corruption, the global variable shared by the producer and consumer is protected with a Critical Section. An example of a simple implementation of the producer and consumer threads is shown in Listing Six. Note that error handling is omitted for readability.
Listing Six: Simple Data Acquisition Device.
static int m_global = 0; static CRITICAL_SECTION hLock; // protect m_global // Simple simulation of data acquisition void sample_data() { EnterCriticalSection(&hLock); m_global = rand(); LeaveCriticalSection(&hLock); } // This function is an example // of what can be done to data // after collection // In this case, you update the display // in real time void process_data() { EnterCriticalSection(&hLock); printf("m_global = 0x%x\n", m_global); LeaveCriticalSection(&hLock); } // Producer thread to simulate real time // data acquisition. Collect 30 s // worth of data unsigned __stdcall Thread1(void *) { int count = 0; SetThreadName(-1, "Producer"); while (1) { // update the data sample_data(); Sleep(1000); count++; if (count > 30) break; } return 0; } // Consumer thread // Collect data when scheduled and // process it. Read 30 s worth of data unsigned __stdcall Thread2(void *) { int count = 0; SetThreadName(-1, "Consumer"); while (1) { process_data(); Sleep(1000); count++; if (count > 30) break; } return 0; }
The producer samples data on line 34 and the consumer processes the data in line 53. Given this relatively simple situation, it is easy to verify that the program is correct and free of race conditions and deadlocks. Now assume that the programmer wants to take advantage of an error detection mechanism on the data acquisition device that indicates to the user that the data sample collected has a problem. The changes made to the producer thread by the programmer are shown in Listing Seven.
Listing Seven: Sampling Data with Error Checking.
void sample_data() { EnterCriticalSection(&hLock); m_global = rand(); if ((m_global % 0xC5F) == 0) { // handle error return; } LeaveCriticalSection(&hLock); }
After making these changes and rebuilding, the application becomes unstable. In most instances, the application runs without any problems. However, in certain circumstances, the application stops printing data. How do you determine what's going on?
The key to isolating the problem is capturing a trace of the sequence of events that occurred prior to the system hanging. This can be done with a custom trace buffer manager or with tracepoints. This example uses the trace buffer implemented in Listing One.
Now armed with a logging mechanism, you are ready to run the program until the error case is triggered. Once the system fails, you can stop the debugger and examine the state of the system. To do this, run the application until the point of failure. Then, using the debugger, stop the program from executing. At this point, you'll be able bring up the Threads window to see the state information for each thread, such as the one shown in Figure 1.
When you examine the state of the application, you can see that the consumer thread is blocked, waiting for the
process_data() call to return. To see what occurred prior to this failure, access the trace buffer. With the application stopped, call the
PrintTraceBuffer() method directly from Visual Studio's debugger. The output of this call in this sample run is shown in Figure 2.
Examination of the trace buffer log shows that the producer thread is still making forward progress. However, no data values after the first two make it to the consumer. This coupled with the fact that the thread state for the consumer thread indicates that the thread is stuck, points to an error where the critical section is not properly released. Upon closer inspection, it appears that the data value in line 7 of the trace buffer log is an error value. This leads up back to your new handling code, which handles the error but forgets to release the mutex. This causes the consumer thread to be blocked indefinitely, which leads to the consumer thread being starved. Technically this isn't a deadlock situation, as the producer thread is not waiting on a resource that the consumer thread holds.
The complete data acquisition sample application is provided on this book's Web site, www.intel.com/intelpress/mcp.
Multithreaded Debugging Using GDB
For POSIX threads, debugging is generally accomplished using the GNU Project Debugger (GDB). GDB provides a number of capabilities for debugging threads, including:
- Automatic notification when new threads are created
- Listing of all threads in the system
- Thread-specific breakpoints
- The ability to switch between threads
- The ability to apply commands to a group of threads
Not all GDB implementations support all of the features outlined here. Please refer to your system's manual pages for a complete list of supported features.

Location: Senedd Oriel Gallery
Description: James Richards: I moved to Aberystwyth in 2000, a calling I guess? You could say I was "the last one back" in my family. After 5 years experiencing a sort of mission creep whilst at University and living previously between Telford and Birmingham, I knew I wasn't happy. Wales was my sanctuary and escape from the loneliness of inner city life. I was beginning change into and act more like an artist and dreamed of a move to Wales. It's hard feeling as though you belong somewhere else. The work I am presenting is a sort of retrospective. A selection of paintings that I suppose are important to me. The ones I keep in my house. They are historical records of my life in Wales and encompass the last seventeen years of it. I hope you see what has been achieved in that time through my Art.

Most students have come to expect an annual rise in tuition. The cost of a college education can increase from 3.5 percent to 6.0 percent. Increasing cost of energy and the struggle to compete with colleges that have large endowments is putting colleges out of reach for certain students. Colleges are obligated to increase their level of security. Parents expect a safe environment for students who are in urban and rural communities. Many colleges are offering a wide range of transportation options for students. Some colleges are establishing contracts with transportation companies who will manage on-campus buses and schedules. Students can feel safe traveling from the main campus to local residents in their community.
The changing economy is putting new demands on college budgets. Students are applying to five colleges to increase their chances of getting admitted and to identify the least expensive college. Colleges are facing challenges in terms of reaching their enrollment goals because students are not making a firm decision right away. Students need to have options when they consider the cost of earning a four year degree. Students must consider the cost of travel to colleges that are far away. This can lead to an inability to travel home frequently.
Colleges are obligated to meet the requirements of the accrediting agencies that approve their curriculum. Some college presidents are increasing the number of professors and research activities to ensure that their college is reaccredited. Additional research can require millions of dollars in an institution's resources. Students will not enroll in a college that is not accredited. Also, outstanding professors will not aspire to work in a college that is not highly regarded in various aspects of a colleges' curriculum.
Colleges are offering online courses to students who need an alternative education choice. The students can benefit by eliminating the cost of traveling to the campus for a three hour course. Some students enjoy the online courses because they can meet people who are in locations around the world. The online courses are unique because they can be delivered at the time of the instruction and it can also be recorded for later student viewing. Colleges gain an advantage because they can offer online courses of professors who are on sabbatical. More online courses can be expected within the next five years. As these courses expand they can reach the international audiences of students, instructors and researchers. The possibilities for international exchanges of information are limitless.
College stability is essential to the competitive edge that the United States maintains in its workforce. We are faced with the possibility of closing colleges who cannot keep up with their enrollment goals. This is particularly worrisome for colleges that do not have large endowments. College administrators must come up with a new paradigm regarding how they will work. For example due to the recent oil crises several colleges created a four day work week. College employees worked ten hours each day and did not work on Friday. Difficult college budget challenges should inspire innovative approaches to educate future generations of leaders.

According to one guy in Palo Alto, hells yeah! And according to New York Magazine's Vulture blog, the "fratirist" might be building a media empire from the ground up, like Tyler Perry — kind of.
New York blogger Dan Kois writes that Max independently financed his upcoming movie I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, turning down $2 million from Searchlight because, "It's, like, what's $2 million if they own your life? I'd rather die standing than live with their boot on my neck." Principles intact, this booze-swilling, girl-dissing, "professional at humiliating and 'debasing' people" has staked his future on the film. He told Chris Lee of the LA Times:
If it fails, the investors lose everything and we got nothing but a . . . movie. But if it works, man! We have not just done an independent movie with a $7-million budget. We distributed it and marketed it ourselves. It's super risky, I know. But if it works, we own the movie outright.
Kois writes that if Max's film succeeds, "he's set himself up to become the next Tyler Perry. Like Perry, Max has built a grassroots following through constant touring, mostly under the radar of the mainstream media." Kois describes this audience as "the kids just out of college (or barely into it) who read his blog, swarm his book signings, laugh when he insults them, and have sex with him in the end zone of a Florida football stadium." Lee was fortunate enough to interview one of these "kids," a 25-year-old graphic designer from Palo Alto who says,
The guy is a hero to me. The coolest person on the planet. He gives you hope: that you don't have to play by the rules and you can have fun by doing whatever the hell you want.
Presumably those "rules" are made by all those powerful female leaders of the world who make sure that no one ever objectifies, humiliates, or takes advantage of women. It really is refreshing that someone has the courage to call a girl a "slut" for once in this repressive climate where women's sexual behavior goes un-judged and un-commented upon. And that someone's finally speaking up for all the silenced frat boys of the world.
Kois does seem to be buying this, a little bit. He writes,
[L]ike Perry, Max serves a niche audience that major studios can have trouble reaching. In Perry's case, it was middle-class blacks, a group Hollywood had mostly given up on. For the young people who make up Max's fan base, that's never been an issue; in fact, you might complain that nearly every movie made today is designed to appeal to under-25s. But they're an audience that's never been big on brand loyalty, and Max is one of the first entertainers to capture and hold their attention on the Internet - and then translate that attention into real kids spending real dollars.
So while Max's audience — the douchebags and douchebag-allies for whom mainstream film basically exists — might not be as underserved as Perry's, he's still noteworthy for his attempt to take Internet fame to the box office? Frankly, if Max is able to make money by putting misogyny on film as well on his blog, it'll be about as surprising as dudes drinking beer out of both bottles and cans.
However, Max is now claiming he's offering something deeper than sexism (which "isn't the same as misogyny, you stupid bitch"). He says he now wants to do a four-movie series cataloguing his character's — and his own — transformation "from a functional narcissist to a caring narcissist." While this maturation from dick to less-of-a-dick does sound heartwarming, the cad-turned-standup-guy-with-no-long-term-repercussions is hardly a new Hollywood archetype. The Sexist's Amanda Hess points out that all of Tucker Max's jokes can be broken down into a few simple formulas. And Perry comparisons notwithstanding, all of the Tucker Max "phenomenon" is pretty much like this: same shit, different package.

St. Bonaventure has chosen "Nobody: Casualties of America's War on the Vulnerable, from Ferguson to Flint and Beyond" by Marc Lamont Hill as its common read for 2017-2018.
"Nobody" considers a string of high-profile deaths in America and incidents of gross negligence by the government.
To make his case, Hill recounts the details of tragedies like the death of Michael Brown and draws upon first-hand reporting and careful historical analysis to show how the "Nobody" class has emerged over time and how forces in America have worked to preserve and exploit this group in ways that are both humiliating and harmful.
First-year students will receive copies of "Nobody" during orientation in July and are asked to read the book prior to the start of the fall semester. Students are engaged in conversations about the book's themes in their SBU101 course and various campuswide events during the upcoming academic year.
The university will welcome Hill to campus Monday, Sept. 25, for the ABR 2017 Keynote Address.
