Media grapples with 'shithole' and 'racist' — Facebook overhauls News Feed — Thiel wants Gawker — Trump-Fox feedback loop — 'Fire and Fury' sets record
THERE'S NO SUBSTITUTE FOR "SHITHOLE": "When the president says it, we'll use it verbatim," Washington Post executive editor Marty Baron said shortly after his paper reported that President Donald Trump privately asked lawmakers why the U.S. lets in people from "shithole countries" like Haiti or others in Africa. The president instead suggested bringing in more people from Norway, an overwhelmingly white country. Though some TV anchors warned viewers before referencing the expletive or opted for, say, "blankhole," the word appeared unedited on CNN and MSNBC chyrons (and even a whiteboard)
— The frankness on cable news wasn't limited to use of a vulgarity. For many, Trump's words and actions have long qualified as being racist, such as his birther crusade, his Charlottesville response, and his attacks on Mexican immigrants, a Mexican-American judge, and black athletes — or saying in a report last month that Haitians "all have AIDS" and Nigerians live in "huts." The Root, for instance, responded Thursday with the headline: "In Other News, Your President Is Still Racist." But as Columbia Journalism Review's Peter Vernon wrote last year, there's typically "dancing around the word 'racist' in coverage of Trump." That wasn't the case on CNN shortly after the news broke Thursday afternoon.

— "The president has racist views. How long do we have to dance around that issue?" asked CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin. "We can dance around it and not really put our finger on it," said chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta. "But the president seems to harbor racist feelings about people of color from other parts of the world." Daily Beast editor-in-chief John Avlon called Trump's comments "straight up racist." And hours later, CNN primetime host Don Lemon didn't mince words at the start of his show: "The president of the United States is a racist."

"THIS IS WHO TRUMP IS," said Fox News co-host Jesse Watters in response to the president's derogatory remarks on immigrants. The deflection, Cristiano Lima reports, marked a larger trend of right-wing, pro-Trump pundits brushing past and in some cases rationalizing the explosive comment. "Go move to Haiti. Or Liberia. Oh, you won't? Why is that?" wrote Mike Cernovich on Twitter in defense of the president. The Drudge Report and Breitbart News meanwhile cast the remark as a response to bad policy. "Trump Balks at 'Shithole' Immigration Deal," read the Drudge frontpage banner, with Breitbart following suit in its coverage.

"So in my twitter bio, after 'Kenyan-born Muslim', should I now add that I was born in a "shithole country"?" [Ali Velshi]
WATCH: MSNBC's Joy Reid talks about her parents coming from "shithole countries."
FACEBOOK CHANGES NEWS FEED: The social media giant announced sweeping changes to its News Feed on Thursday to prioritize content shared by family and friends rather than publishers and brands. The New York Times' Mike Isaac reports that "Thursday's changes raise questions of whether people may end up seeing more content that reinforces their own ideologies if they end up frequently interacting with posts and videos that reflect the similar views of their friends or family." Also, he wrote, "bogus news may still spread — if a relative or friend posts a link with an inaccurate news article that is widely commented on, that post will be prominently displayed."
— Mark Zuckerberg addressed the changes on Facebook: "The research shows that when we use social media to connect with people we care about, it can be good for our well-being. We can feel more connected and less lonely, and that correlates with long term measures of happiness and health. On the other hand, passively reading articles or watching videos — even if they're entertaining or informative — may not be as good."
SHUTTERING GAWKER APPARENTLY WASN'T ENOUGH for Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel. He now wants to buy the assets of Gawker.com, which includes archives of nearly 200,000 articles, according to Reuters. Thiel, a PayPal co-founder and Facebook board member, funded wrestler Hulk Hogan's lawsuit that bankrupted the site out of revenge for a 2007 post identifying him as gay. If Thiel is successful, he can delete that post — or all of them.
'FIRE AND FURY' SETS SALES RECORD: Publisher Henry Holt announced Thursday that Michael Wolff's explosive book on the Trump White House, already in its eleventh printing, has set a company sales record with "1.4 million hardcover books on order and [having] shipped more than 700,000 copies to date." The book unsurprisingly debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller list.
PRESIDENT CONCEDES LIBEL CHANGES UNLIKELY: I wrote yesterday about the huge obstacles the president would need to overcome to change libel laws, a threat he's made several times in response to media scrutiny. Trump told the Wall Street Journal Thursday that "Fire and Fury" demonstrated the need for new libel laws. But, the Journal reported, "he acknowledged that was unlikely to happen, saying that the Republican-controlled Congress doesn't have the 'guts' for that debate." Also, the Journal pointed out that "libel claims are a matter of state rather than federal law, buttressed by constitutional protections."
TRUMP'S 'FOX & FRIENDS'-INSPIRED FISA TWEET CAUSES DISARRAY: The president caused a fracas on Capitol Hill after seeming to reverse support Thursday for the reauthorization of FISA, a major government surveillance tool. The Twitter missive, Media Matters notes, came within an hour of Fox News contributor Andrew Napolitano making a direct plea to the president on "Fox & Friends" to oppose the move, citing the same reasons Trump would later allude to on social media. The incident was the latest example of a Fox News segment finding its way directly into the president's Twitter timeline.
INSIDE THE TRUMP-FOX FEEDBACK LOOP: Vanity Fair's Gabriel Sherman reports: "In the post-Roger Ailes era, the network doesn't have a programming Svengali to develop new story lines. 'There's absolutely no direction,' one Fox host told me. Without Ailes's daily talking points to guide them, producers are freer than ever before to program their shows, and the surest path to ratings success is airing stories that appeal to Trump's most fervent supporters. Fox may be Trump's safe space, but Trump is Fox's safe space, too. It's a circular feedback loop."
— Trump regularly calls Fox hosts after segments and offers feedback, according to Sherman. "When you worked at Fox, you knew that at any moment Roger Ailes was watching," a veteran Fox News contributor told Sherman. "Every day was like a job interview with Ailes. Now it's the same way for Trump."
GLOBAL SPLIT ON MEDIA IMPARTIALITY: Americans aren't the only ones divided on whether to trust the press. A new study out of the Pew Research Center found that 44 percent of people across 38 countries didn't think their news organizations were fairly covering differing political positions; 52 percent disagreed. The U.S. registered the 15th lowest score on whether issues are covered fairly, with 47 percent believing they are. Where the U.S. led globally was in the gap in views on media impartiality between those who supported the ruling party and those who didn't, with a 34-point split. The U.S. was also one of the few countries where those who supported the party in power were more critical of the media's impartiality.
'IN PRAISE OF LEAKS': Time Inc. vice chairman Norm Pearlstine writes: "Leaks can certainly cause embarrassment, and there have been examples where they have also caused real damage. But to a surprising degree, leaks usually do more good than harm. Along with most Americans, I believe our government has the right to keep secrets, especially when national security is at stake. I only wish it did a better job of protecting its secrets. I also join many Americans in thinking transparency is an essential antidote against leaders who rely on secrecy to hide their mistakes, corruption and dishonesty."
— Pearlstine recalls serving as Time Inc. editor-in-chief when he concluded during the George W. Bush years that then-Time reporter Matt Cooper should testify regarding a leak about covert CIA officer Valerie Plame. "I made that controversial decision after the courts ruled we couldn't keep secret the source's identity – White House deputy chief of staff Karl Rove – or what he had told us, and the Supreme Court declined to review those decisions."
WAPO REPORTER ON LEAVE AFTER ATTENDING LIBERAL SUMMIT: Janell Ross, a national reporter for the Washington Post, was put on leave over her attendance of a November gathering with Democratic lawmakers and activists, including billionaire donor George Soros. "Two people familiar with the matter have told CNN that Ross was put on leave, and that her return to the Post is viewed as unlikely," Tom Kludt reported.
COLBERT TO FOLLOW TRUMP: Stephen Colbert will host the "Late Show" live on January 30 following Trump's first "State of the Union" speech, with "Pod Save America" crew — Tommy Vietor, Jon Favreau and Jon Lovett — appearing as guests, according to Variety. Comedy Central previously announced that "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah" and "The Opposition with Jordan Klepper" will air live after the speech.
SAMANTHA BEE RE-UPPED: TBS announced that "Full Frontal with Samantha Bee" will be on the network at least two more seasons, through the midterms and 2020 election, Deadline reported.
RONAN FARROW LANDS HBO DEAL: The journalist who broke out in 2017 with blockbuster reporting on disgraced filmmaker Harvey Weinstein has signed a three-year deal with HBO to develop and front a series of investigative specials, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
LOS ANGELES' HOTTEST CLUB IS… THE TIMES OFFICE? A proposal for the Los Angeles Times' new workspace, Splinter's David Uberti reports, "showed telltale signs of a rich mogul using his publicly traded — and financially embattled — company as a private playground." It features a penthouse corner office with sweeping views of the Hollywood Hills, a celebrity-designed kitchen, an area for "VIP guests" and a rooftop helipad. What the office might lack? A union to represent its staffers, which Tronc chairman Michael Ferro has reportedly sought to squash before it solidifies.
David Gelles, a New York Times business reporter and author of "Mindful Work: How Meditation Is Changing Business From the Inside Out," will be relaunching the paper's "Corner Office" column to include more social features and live events.
Ivan Penn, who has covered energy for the Los Angeles Times, is joining the New York Times as an alternative energy reporter. He'll remain based in Southern California.

"Today I learned that my cousin's 11 year old daughter somehow downloaded The Washington Post app — without my cousin's knowledge — at the age of 9 and has been a loyal reader for the last two years. When people ask what she wants to be when she grows up, my cousin said her 11 year daughter tells them she wants to study journalism and work for The Washington Post. It is apparently the most specific answer in her class." — New York Times reporter Liam Stack
"Please tell her that she has an open invite to spend a day with us. (And that @PostBaron keeps a jar of peanut M&MS in his office.) We're all very excited to work for her someday." — The Washington Post

|Forced Congressional Transparency - monday 2009-02-09 0021
|last modified 2009-02-09 0021
|Categories: Nerdy, Current Events
|TrackBacks Sent: None
A few weeks into a new administration and somebody short circuits the need for sunlight legislation to open up the operations of the government to its people. Thanks to Wikileaks for hosting the nearly 7000 previously unseen CRS documents that have been legally in the public domain but effectively hidden from us. The CRS is Congress' research branch, the generally non-partisan internal feed of information that's informed choices for many (all) members over the years. That we the people don't have full access to that information stream, one highly regarded and sought after by all in the political business, one which may very well govern the workings of the people's branch of government, was troubling to some congressmen but ultimately blocked by most as well as by the CRS itself. It may have legitimately desired to maintain non-partisanship in research, but at the least some third party would have to analyze precisely how accurately "non-partisan" describes them in the first place. And if keeping CRS reports quiet was so important to Congress and successfully accomplished over decades, then keeping public CRS reports non-partisan shouldn't be an insurmountable obstacle.
I'm downloading the approximately 2GB archive of those reports now. It's unlikely I'll read many at all, but I'll gladly help keep the torrent spreading. If we ever find out the full story, I'm going to guess one of these new administration characters and someone somehow affiliated with things in the vicinity of the Sunlight Foundation had their fingers in it. Yet while I download and redistribute away, I have to note that circumventing institutional process isn't necessarily the most appropriate way to achieve even these ends. It would be interesting for the Sunlight Foundation to run another uncovering campaign as it did for unmasking anonymous Senate holds.

Fire In Santiago - There was a devastating fire in Santiago on Wed. Feb. 4th. It began at 11:30 a.m., with firefighters arriving at 12:30 as Santiago has no firetruck, etc. The fire started almost in front of the new DIF office, which is down at the end of town near the church, then it spread into the oasis and to houses near the lagoon. Flames were 20 meters high at one point. The fire in the oasis was still smoldering on Thursday. Over 70 hectareas of land burned, 5 houses, 1 truck, one injury to someone trying to put the fire out in their house, and another injury due to hypertension. 350 people evacuated, and 200 men from the army, Bomberos and Civil Protection contained the fire. Kim Clapham's house was one of the casualties, animals at the zoo not harmed (not sure about smoke inhalation?). Pres.

Over Development In Las Tunas Update - Does anybody care that there is a HUGE development being planned under the guise of being environmentally conscious?
It is called [Name Deleted - Editor] in Todos Santos, BCS.
In spite of the hype about the project being "ecological" it is not ecologically sound at all. We think this planned over development of condominiums in such an ecological fragile area is damaging for many reasons:
I. The high density condominium project is more than triple the amount that the Todos Santos Master Plan zoning stipulates for 5.5 acres in the dunes area. The plan call for thirty-two condominium units along with conference rooms, restaurant and bar, clubhouse, pools, carports, etc. They expect to host additional seminars as well which will bring more traffic to the area. When originally presented to the community several years ago, it was different and proposed a smaller number of units. The new plans are high density - Cabo resort style, thanks to a new partner with the old owner.
II. The barrier dunes in Las Tunas near where the development is planned is a fragile ecological coastal area where several endangered species of sea turtles lay their eggs. The environmental impact of so many people (traffic, noise, lights etc) nearby would put additional stress on the already endangered sea turtle nesting population, as well as other species and habitat in the area.
III. There are no large resorts or condominiums in Todos Santos currently - that is the desire of the community at large. We do not want to set a precedent that will lead to continued overdevelopment. We will end up much like Cabo San Lucas. Todos Santos has unique natural resources and is an environment that needs to be protected for future generations.
IV. The infra-structure of a small town like Todos Santos's does not match the population growth of our area already. Sewage treatment and water usage in the desert needs to be thought out better before allowing projects like this to proceed. The proposed desalination plant is not a good idea. Desalination plants have been used to water-challenged areas, like Cabo, because of the demand for golf courses they require the developer to supply their own water. Most people are not aware of the by-product, and the need to do something with all the salt, which is not healthy as a soil nutrient. There are serious questions about the potential environmental, geopolitical, and social impacts of desalination.
V. This developer is putting profit over sensible development. One could preserve the integrity of the land and still make profit from the investment by either lowering the number of units built or building several single residence homes on larger lots. In spite of the hype about "building green", what is ecologically sound about building high density structures next to a fragile habitat for so many creatures and native plants? Please join our efforts to voice the community's concern at such a project being allowed to move forward without the consent of the community. Perhaps we can raise this important issue in our community to others contacting some of the following: Todos Santos Master Plan Committee, La Paz Building Permits, Environmental Protection Agencies, Newspapers, Newletters and Magazines, etc? If you have ideas, contacts, resources that would be helpful concerning this issue please contact me. Thank you, Laurie - tortuga1957 (-at-) yahoo.com

Burglary In Las Brisas - We feel we should report a break-in at our (rental) house in Las Brisas in order to remind everyone stay vigilant with their belongings. Last Monday night while we were sleeping, someone entered our kitchen by cutting neatly through the window screen. Although we are in the habit of bringing all valuables into our bedroom for the night (separate building) -- we had accidentally left our iPod Touch in on the kitchen counter. It was taken along with a big Swiss Army knife and a Sierra Designs tent. A report was filed on our behalf but no investigation was done by police. Please let us know if, by some chance, any of these items are found. Thank you! - Ann Pibal, apibal (-at-) bennington.edu, 6121325274, Todos Santos

3G Telcel Internet Works Great! - For all those who have resisted investing thousands of dollars in satellite internet systems I am happy to say that the Telcel 3G service I just got works great in Las Tunas. The modem is free if you sign an 18 month contract but you can also buy the modem for around $130 US. Monthly cost is about $32 US and as long as you get two or three bars of Telcel reception then the system should work for you. Their modems work better with Windows XP than Vista. Now we just have to convince the people at www.hula.com to allow free US television downloads in Mexico and not just the US! - Jim Elfers
Airport Robbery! - Just wanted to warn everyone that our car was broken into while parked in the SJD airport. It was parked for less than 22 hours as I left on the 17th of January and my husband returned on the 18th. At first he didn't realize that anything had happened until he ran out of gas about 15 miles from the airport. I had left the tank full. When he got home he realized that the garage door opener was missing, along with the car key fob and the security system key fob! YIKES! Fortunately, there was no sort of ID to tell them where our house is. Upon further inspection, we realized that they had taken everything out our of our top carrier, back, and inside of the truck. We filed a report with the Security office at the airport but they claim that parking lot security is done by a private company and said they couldn't do anything. I have now filed a denuncia with the San Jose police but don't really expect anything to happen. Just be warned. - , nancyserfas (-at-) aol.com

Japanese chocolatier Royce is famous for its exotic indulgent treats, delighting those of us with a sweet tooth across its rapidly-expanding chain of retail stores across Asia.
Each year, the company releases a Valentine's Day special edition product – and this time around, it's the ultimate indulgence for wine-lovers.
Royce has crafted a gooey mass of wine-filled fresh ganache chocolate pudding, served in a little chocolate pot with a lid. The filling comes in two layers – the upper half with Italian San Giorgio Rosso Del Umbria red wine, and the lower half with Austrian Nieusiedlersee Trocken Beeren Auslese white.
It comes with two spoons to ensure it can be shared by two.
Called the Precious, the romantic treat sells for 3294 yen, which equals about US$29.80.
Of course, if it's sold out by the time you get to your nearest Royce store, you can always stock up on their famous chocolate-covered potato crisps…

When software was first being developed in the 80s, user assistance was born!
It often included all kinds of assistance, including text written in the UI.
It led to Help files, where were available in the software and installed onto the computer with the other software files.
As the Internet evolved in the 90s and well into the 2000s and 2010s, Online Help became more and more expected. After some time, the Help button in software more often just searches the Online Help pages, sometimes called Library Articles.
However, despite that, more and more software designers have come to realize the importance of not relying only on a bunch of pages on the Internet. This effort became known as Integrated Assistance. It is often also sometimes called Embedded Help or simply thought of as User Assistance or good UX Design.
Today, videogames have relied the most on this concept of Integrated Assistance, leading the player through multiple levels (usually the first few levels of a game), that "teach" the player how to play the game. Even sometimes the startup menu features some game clips that exist to help "teach" the player about what they can do in the game. And then, during the game, the player can sometimes access a Tips list that gives some tips of what's possible (how to complete fighting moves, how to do gestures in touch or motion control games, or other techniques in the game that should be learned).
This focus on integrating assistance has led more and more software and website developers to also get the assistance into the UI, helping prompt the user along the way, so that the user doesn't have to leave the UI and search Internet to find what they're looking for.
In Small Basic, the team integrated assistance into code coloring (by giving you different colors in your code, you are more likely to understand what parts of your code fulfill which purpose, such as Operators, Operands, Objects, Variables, etc.). There is also, an ever-present Help pane, which acts as a solicitor of content, helping explain what you're typing or what you just clicked/are editing.
Finally, the redesigned IntelliSense explains each method and object as you type it out. See IntelliSense Redesigned.
This is Day 8 of 30 Days of Integrated Assistance.

Hilary Saner Biography
Why paint? To me, it comes down to trying to live and respond to life, to people, to experience as authentically and truthfully as possible. Painting is prayer – it saves my life day by day, as a meditative and spiritually transformative discipline; the final "object" (or painting) is almost incidental to the long and repetitive journey through the stations of Beginning, Doubt, Failure and ultimately Resolution. I paint on a variety of supports, from canvas to wood, to particle board to heavily worked paper. I often create these supports layer by layer in a series of random, flowing expressive actions - look, add, respond, glue, remove, attach; again; again... - before insisting on the painted image on the final surface offered up to the viewer. This is to try and capture and model my sense that this is what life demands of each of us - insistent agency and presence - over and against and informed by its seemingly random, often turbulent flow. I practice towards an increasing clarity of perception and fearless engagement with the medium, that will allow me to say (with Rilke), "Look - a leaf, a dancer, a human being, a carrot, an oak tree, a window," but to say them in such a way that the objects or people themselves never dreamed of existing so intensely.

The Wireless Notification System for the Hearing Impaired
The Wrist Alert is intended for the use by the hearing impaired in their home environment. It alerts the user to signals such as smoke detectors and doorbells. These signals are connected to a centralized controller box, processed, and transmitted via a Radio Frequency link to the wireless wristband device. The alerting mechanism employs vibration, a discreet form of notification that helps minimize disruption to everyday life in the household. The Wrist Alert utilizes different vibration patterns to differentiate between designated priority levels and the associated signal sources.

A Microfabricated Transduction Coil for Inductive Deep Brain Stimulation
"Inductively Coupled Deep Brain Stimulator" describes a chip/system design to inductively couple arbitrary waveforms to electrodes embedded in the brain for deep brain stimulation or other neurostimulation. This approach moves the conventionally implanted signal generator outside the body and provides flexibility in adjusting waveforms to investigate optimum stimulation waveforms. An "inlaid electroplating" process with through-wafer plating is used to reduce microcoil resistance and integrate microstructures and electronics. Utilizing inductive link resonance specific to microcoils, waveforms are selectively transmitted to microcoils, which further produces biphasic waveforms that are suitable for deep brain stimulation.

Pull-in Instability Investigation of Circular Micro Pump Subjected to Nonlinear Electrostatic Force
Electrostaticaly actuated circular micro plates are used in the many MEM devices such as micropumps and optical switches. All such systems exhibit an instability phenomenon, which it is known as the "pull-in" instability. In this paper a distributed model has been used to investigate the pull-in instability of circular plate subjected to nonlinear distributed electrostatic force. The governing nonlinear differential equation of the plate subjected to non-uniform electrostatic pressure has been derived and solved using finite difference method. The effects of different parameters such as: residual stress, radius and thickness of the plate and initial gap have been studied. The obtained results have been compared with the existing results and were in tune.

Magnetic One-chip Linear Position Sensor - Encoder and Contactless Linear Sensor with Analog and Digital Evaluation
iC-ML is an integrated magnetic linear position sensor / encoder assembled in a space-saving TSSOP20 package (6.6 x 6.4 x 1.1 mm). The circuit contains four Hall sensors for the generation of analog sine/cosine signals at a pole pitch of 2.56 mm; it also has an integrated signal conditioning unit with an A/D converter and output interfaces. Three configuration inputs allow 26 different modes of operation to be selected for the position evaluation of the magnetic tape placed above the chip. Magnetic field strengths from 20 mT upwards are sufficient for safe operation; a suitable gain or error signal can be used to both monitor the distance of the magnet and to center it.
It is possible to cascade several iC - ML devices at once, allowing various coordinates to be scanned; here the chips are activated one after the other in a chain and the position signals output via a 4-wire bus. This simplifies the connecting up of the device to a microcontroller or interpolator for further processing. Deactivated chips with high-impedance bus connections have a very low standby current draw ...
