Do you learn the basics to make it in life at school or on your own?
Rather hard to explain but I tend to think watching listening adjusting to life on seeing other peoples lifes give you a better chance of making it in life than education in schools .

Jan 20 2013: Surprisingly, being a high school teacher myself does not make me feel able to confidently answer this question. I think at the heart of your question are two sub-questions.
Question 1: What motivates people?
In my experience, while we are all human and thus all similarly motivated at the most fundamental levels, motivation is complex non-the-less. We all respond to a mixture of intrinsic and extrinsic motivators. The balance needed between these for us to approach our potential is where the complexity comes in. It depends on everything from parenting, personality, friends, life experiences, and of course, random chance. Having taught hundreds of students over 6 years it seems that most of my students rely more heavily on extrinsic motivators than I would like. These ones tend to need to the discipline and structure of school to force them to go through the motions of learning until they learn to love it (if they are lucky). Those that are naturally inquisitive and self motivated are often stifled by the structured learning required in conventional schools, but stand a chance of thriving if they learn to not only be self motivated but self sufficient and hard working (another set of complex skills to develop in and out of school).
Question 2: Is school effective at imparting knowledge and skills?
WAY too many factors to answer with even the vaguest degree of accuracy. There are different schools, administrators, teachers, teaching styles, demographics, parents, cultures, class sizes (and the list goes on) that the simple answer is that it can be successful for some and it is not for others. If I had to make a sweeping statement about the whole thing... humans are "designed" to learn from the their parents and community. With an adult to student ratio of 1 to 25, they learn more from each other than from the adults in school.

In about 1958 a monk in India began teaching a new form of meditation that can be easily practiced by people throughout most of the world. Called Transcendental Meditation (TM) by its originator, the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the meditation uses short words or phrases that, when repeated in the mind, help the user still many thought processes and reach a deep level of consciousness. It is claimed that practitioners of this method can find great relaxation, inner peace, enhanced vitality, and creativity. The maharishi brought his teachings to the West in 1959.

In the upcoming legislative session, Indiana lawmakers might make a change in the way SWAT teams are allowed to perform in the field.
Members of a SWAT team, even medically trained ones aren't legally protected to perform life-saving measures.
Medical personnel have to stay a certain distance from the scene until it's secure.
The proposal wants to change that.
Supporters of the measure say only those who are specially trained and certified would be covered by the law to perform life saving measures.

It's the biggest public works project in California history. KTTV Vice President and General Manager Kevin Hale looks at how the success or failure of High Speed Rail could be Governor Brown's legacy, in this POV.
I'd like to hear your Point of View. Send me an email at email@example.com
California's High-Speed Rail has really become a train to nowhere.
We recently reviewed some court documents that revealed top managers of California's high-speed rail project were concerned about project delays.
Delays that could threaten federal funding of the project and put taxpayers at risk for having to pay the money back.
One manager feared construction might not truly begin until 2014, putting it about a year and a half behind schedule.
Here's what he said:
"If it appears the construction timing cannot be met because of delays, it risks the entire funding."
When Fox asked the rail authority to explain that 2014 date, we were told we were wrong. But that same day, they filed an amendment to their declaration, now stating that:
"... Construction will not begin earlier than July of 2013."
Bottom line: they shaved off six months by changing the wording and crossing out 2014.
So what are they hiding?
Come clean, and let the truth be told.
Governor Brown, this project seems ill advised.
I think it's time to put the brakes on this project; scrap it all together or come up with a better plan that makes sense for California.
Thanks for listening.
What do you think? We want to hear from you on this P.O.V. segment. Share your thoughts in the comments section below or email me directly at email@example.com.

Vice President and General Manager

An Alaskan Husky is not in actuality a breed of dog, but rather a category of dog. All breeds of highly efficient sled dogs fall under the Alaskan Husky category, as the Alaskan is the breed of choice for world-class dog sled racing and sprint competition. The majority of Alaskan Huskies have pointy ears and a tail that curls over their backs.
Physical Characteristics
Alaskan Huskies resemble Siberian Huskies in appearance. Males range from 40 to 60 pounds and females average 35 to 48 pounds. Because the Alaskan Husky is more a general category than a strict breed, it comes in any color and any pattern of markings.
The Alaskan Husky is larger and leaner than the similar looking Siberian Husky. Where Siberians often have blue eyes, or a combination of blue and brown, Alaskans' eyes are generally brown.
It has good vision and a strong nose due to the inclusion of sight-hound in their genetics. Swimming and retrieving do not come naturally to the Alaskan Husky, but it can jump up to six feet from a sitting position.
Personality and Temperament
The Alaskan Husky tends to vary as much in temperament as it does in appearance. It is often affectionate with people as well as other dogs, and is are known for their enthusiastic cuddling. Though the Alaskan Husky is usually thought to be a "jumper," it usually jumps on people out of affection, not dominance.
The Alaskan Husky is loyal but fiercely independent, and will not stick close if let off-leash. It is an adventurer at heart and loves car rides and changes in routine. It can be willful and mischievous, and difficult to housebreak without a firm hand leading them. If you don't have a lot of time to spend with a dog, an Alaskan Husky will not be the breed for you.
An Alaskan Husky's coat tends to be self-cleaning, much like the similar Alaskan Malamute or Siberian Husky. Therefore, it doesn't tend to get stinky and only need infrequent bathing. Shedding occurs once a year as a seasonal event during spring; it does not lose hair year-round.
The Alaskan Husky is extremely energetic, with seemingly unquenchable endurance. It does not do well in an urban apartment environment as it need a constant source of exercise. A spacious home with a large yard is ideal for the Alaskan Husky.
The Alaskan Husky lives approximately 12 to 15 years. It is generally considere to be healthy breed, but tends to fall victim to certain strains of genetic health problems similar to those found in purebreds. These may include progressive retinal atrophy, which culminates in blindness and hypothyroidism, and a congenital deformation of the larynx, which causes the dog to make a wheezing sound when breathing; earning Alaskan Huskies the nickname "wheezers."
History and Background
The Alaskan Husky, though not a recognized breed on its own, originates from the cross-breeding of multiple other breeds. The purpose of breeding an Alaskan Husky is to create the best working dog possible, so the bloodlines will depend on the specific purpose the Alaskan Husky will be used for.
A racing sled dog, for instance, may be any combination of husky and purebred pointer or hound, depending on the need for distance or sprinter speeds.
Originally, Alaskan Huskies were developed by mushers (the human dog sled racers) from the different bloodlines of native Inuit dogs. Some of the main breeds used now in developing Alaskan Huskies include the Eskimo dog, Siberian Husky, Greyhound, and German Shorthaired Pointer.
The voice box; this is one part of the respiratory system
Term used to refer to an animal that is one of the recognized, pure breeds
A nonliving substance in a cell
The study of the laws of inheritance n living things; may also be referred to as breeding
An animal's tendency to overpower another, in character or in activity
The wasting away of certain tissues; a medical condition that occurs when tissues fail to grow.

A new app originally named "ghetto tracker" is causing all kinds of controversy.
In less than 24 hours, this brand new app created enough backlash to prompt an immediate name change.
Instead of "Ghetto Tracker" it's now called "Good Part of Town."
Still, critics call it racist and classist, saying it's a way for the rich to avoid the poor.
How does it work? Users rate the safety of a given part of a city or town.
But the app doesn't use hard data like mugging statistics or murder rates. It's based on locals' input.
Critics say that's a problem because it is based solely on peoples' prejudices.
In addition to the name change, the word "ghetto" has been removed from the app and the company's website.
Also, after the re-launch, the creator swapped out the pictures on the website of a white family to include more ethnical-diverse families.
The Twitter and Facebook accounts for "ghetto tracker" have also been deleted.
The website's creator would only identify himself as a man who is "30-something and based in Tallahassee, Fla."

I keep getting spam from some company that wants to sell me medical equipment. Here is what I told them: I am a writer. Why would I want to buy MRI machines? Let me make a suggestion. Take your head. Put it into one of your MRIs. Look at the results. Do you see a brain? Is it full of holes?
I am busy fielding messages from all of my Nigerian friends who want to tell me how beloved I am. I also have to weed out all of the promises to enlarge my penis, which is quite a trick since they'd have to start with nothing.

Recipe: Weeknight Coq au Vin
Recipes from The Kitchn
These brisk spring days can be really confusing for a cook. On the one hand, we're psyched for salads and iced coffee, but then there are days, like a few Wednesdays ago, when it's pouring rain and you're freezing. Enter my Coq au Vin (chicken stewed in wine).
On that chilly day, I happened to have enough ingredients to pass for a classic Coq au Vin — chicken thighs, dried porcini mushrooms, a red onion, pancetta, and red wine. What I didn't have was time.
Is it the French name that makes people, myself included, think the dish is going to take all day? It won't. Though some time is usually taken up doing things like blanching the bacon, skimming the fat, and reducing the sauce, I pushed things a bit. In just over thirty minutes, dinner was served. Much of that time is when the dish is simmering, so you can set the table, start a load of laundry, read a New Yorker article, or just stare into space.
Imagine: Coq au Vin could be your new weeknight go-to meal.
It is possible to make this dish with any part of the chicken; I like the thighs because they are succulent and nestle into a pot nicely. If you have fresh mushrooms and want to make a super-classic version of the dish, add them to the sauce before reducing, just as the recipe is written for the dried mushrooms. Pearl onions are what you'll usually find in Coq au Vin, but they require a few extra steps, so for something equally tasty and not nearly as laborious, use any standard onion or a few shallots.
Coq au Vin is usually served over wide egg noodles, but I like it with a few hunks of baguette and good butter. Roasted potatoes also make a good side dish.
Weeknight Coq au Vin
6 to 8 large (about 3 pounds) chicken thighs, skin on
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup (about 1 ounce) dried wild mushrooms
1/2 cup (about 4 ounces) 1/2-inch cubed pancetta or bacon
1 large red or yellow onion, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
2 medium carrots, cut into large bite-size pieces
5 large cloves garlic, peeled and gently smashed
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 cups dry, fruity red wine (zinfandel, burgundy)
1 cup chicken stock
2 bay leaves
4 whole sprigs fresh thyme
6 to 8 whole sprigs fresh parsley, to garnish
Lightly sprinkle the chicken thighs on all sides with salt and pepper. Place the dried mushrooms in a small bowl and pour enough boiling water over to just cover.
Over medium heat in a 4- to 6-quart (large enough to accommodate the chicken) deep skillet or Dutch oven with a lid, brown the pancetta, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the onions and cook another minute, until onions begin to soften. Turn the heat up to medium-high, add the chicken, skin side down, and cook, turning the pieces as they brown on each side. Drain off any excess fat.
Add the carrots, crushed garlic, tomato paste, wine, chicken stock, bay leaves, and thyme. Lower the heat so that the liquid just barely simmers. Cover and cook about 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and an instant-read thermometer reads 165°F.
Transfer the chicken pieces to a serving platter. Skim any excess fat off the top of the liquid. Remove the mushrooms from their soaking liquid and add them to the pot. Pour the mushroom liquid through a fine sieve or cheese cloth (to remove any grit) and into the pot. Turn the heat up to high and boil the mixture until the sauce is reduced by a third to a half, depending on how much time you have. Remove the bay leaves and thyme.
A few minutes before serving, put the chicken pieces back into the sauce to re-heat. Serve each chicken thigh topped with a ladle of sauce and garnished with chopped parsley leaves or a whole parsley sprig.
Per serving, based on 6 servings. (% daily value)

I love doing quick interpretations of some of the long-slow braises! I speed up some a little more by using the pressure cooker.
A quick tip re. the pearl onions: you can find them peeled and ready to go in the frozen vegetable section of the supermarket. I usually have a couple of bags in the freezer alongside the peas! Just pop them in at the end and allow them to cook with everything for about 5 mins or so.
I really have to argue this recipe. While the faster process will be close, it will still miss the major notes of the long braising. Coq au Vin shouldn't be rushed, it is too good!
@_joecrawford - of course there are benefits to long and slow cooking, that goes without saying. The point here is more that it can be done more quickly with good results.
Love the 'cheat', Sara Kate! Reminds me of Sam the Cooking Guy. Use what you have to get the gist of what you crave.
I'll try this tomorrow!
LOVE this shortcut. I'm a busy full time working artist with a family who has gotten used to home cooked and good food. But, time is precious and this recipe is great
Thank you
There is an easier- using boneless, skinless breasts- and definitely equally tasty version on epicurious.com.
Thanks for this - I'd forgotten what a great, comforting dish coq au vin is. I don't use tomato paste, but I always add a little bit of dark chocolate to the pot, it's surprisingly good.
Martha Stewart has a Pressure Cooker version, but you still have to reduce and simmer!
Made this for dinner on Sunday night and we thought it turned out really well! I let it simmer until the liquid was reduced by half so that took longer than 30 minutes (closer to an hour) but that was fine.
I took the lardons out of the pot before adding the liquids and added them back when I served it so that they stayed crunchy.
I'd definitely make this again!
I made this and it was amazing! It took closer to an hour all told. I've never had traditional coq a vin, but this was so good I may have to try the long version as well. Either way, this version was still worthwhile.
When I told my French husband I was going to try to make coq au vin for dinner, his reaction was, where did you get rooster from? (coq is rooster in French)...I apologized and corrected myself...we were having 'poulet au vin' for dinner :) needless to say, dinner was delicious, he loved it and he didn't miss the rooster!
I thought this wouldn't be as good as the longer cooking traditional method, too. But we made it tonight and I could not believe how amazing it was! The sauce was rich and deeply flavored and tasted like it had been simmering for a full day but it was all ready to eat in under an hour! We used guanciale instead of bacon or pancetta and we used all porcini mushrooms and the results were a perfect 10. Thank you for this delicious shortcut. We will definitely make this again.
This was great - and super easy. The longer it cooks the better it is.
You could make this up to the simmering stage and put it in the refrigerator overnight, say on a Sunday while you're cooking something else. Then heat it up for half an hour and Monday dinner is done too!
Delicious! Thanks. I too let it cook a bit longer and used boneless breasts as we don't care for thighs. But a great week night meal.
Maybe it's just me, but in the photo there looks like a ring of fatty grease at the edge of the bowl. Perhaps skinless thighs would reduce this? Otherwise looks like a great recipe.
Some asian markets sell old roosters.
Love that you put words to the exact dilemma i'm having right now--the weather is so all over the place!
... but there's bacon in this recipe, so is that really the concern?
I'm not sure if it's a grease ring or if the bowl was tilted and the sauce went up there before resettling.

Chargers fire Greg Manusky and replace him with John Pagano
The San Diego Chargers fired defensive coordinator Greg Manusky, and linebackers coach John Pagano will take over the job. San Diego had the NFL's number one ranked defense during the 2010 season while allowing 20 points per game under defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, who left the team following that season to be the Carolina Panthers head coach. Manusky was hired after being the San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator from 2007-2010. San Francisco had the NFL's 25th ranked defense in 2007, the 13th ranked defense in 2008, the 15th ranked defense in 2009 and the 13th ranked defense in 2010.
San Diego went from having the NFL's number one ranked defense in 2010 to having the NFL's 16th ranked defense while giving up almost 24 points per game in 2011. San Francisco's average defensive ranking under Manusky was 17th with a takeaway differential of -21 in four seasons, so I am not sure what the Chargers were expecting when they brought him in. The Chargers had more to work with as an overall team on defense because they were ranked higher and had less Pro Bowlers on defense than San Francisco in 2010, but this did not seem to be a good hire for San Diego.
The Chargers organization was quick to fire Manusky after his first season. One has to wonder why Norv Turner and A.J. Smith were brought back after years of failure while having the abilities to make more of a major impact than Manusky. The Chargers are notorious for lacking motivation. They have not won a playoff game under Turner since the 2008 season, and have failed to make the playoffs the last two seasons. Smith has been the general manager since 2003, so he drafts and signs the players who have failed to live up to their potential, yet Smith and Turner are returning for another season.

The provisional number of deaths registered in England and Wales in the week ending 07/09/2012 (week 36) was 8,848. This represents an increase of 1,231 deaths registered in comparison with the previous week (week 35).
The average number of deaths for the corresponding week over the previous five years was 8,593.
Moveable public holidays, when register offices are closed, affect the number of registrations made in the published weeks and in the corresponding weeks in previous years.
The increase in the deaths registered in the week ending 07/09/2012 is likely to be due to the closure of register offices over the bank holiday in the previous week.
There is the same value for the 'under 1 year' age group and '15-44' age group on consecutive weeks. However these counts are made up of unique death registrations.
Weekly death figures provide provisional counts of the number of deaths registered in England and Wales in the latest eight weeks for which data are available. Commentary on trends in annual mortality statistics can be found in Death registrations summary tables.

Kurt Angle might follow in the footsteps of Chris Jericho soon, as the TNA star is now a candidate to appear on an upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars. His wife revealed that fact through Twitter and is currently trying to ramp up some support from his fans, so that it will happen.
Layla El once danced with Kanye West during a performance at the MTV Music Awards.
While there was some interest in bringing him back a couple of months ago, it does not appear that Lance Hoyt will be coming back to TNA anytime soon. He is currently thriving as a tag team with David Hart Smith in New Japan right now, and the money there is higher than what he would be paid if he was working Impact Wrestling again.
There's talks that TNA is interested in bringing Lance Hoyt, who has been thriving in Japan as of late, back on a short term basis.
Lance Hoyt challenged Howard Stern after the radio personality made some derogatory comments about wrestling.

The first half is an introduction to the world's oceans, seafloor and continental shelves. Specific attention is paid to the marine geology of ocean basins and continental margins. The second half covers the major biological systems of the oceans and coasts, including biological adaptation and field methods used to study them.
In third year students have a choice of twelve senior units of study which cover a wide range of biological, geological and coastal topics, all taught by experts in their respective fields.
These include:
- Coastal Environments and Processes
- Rivers - Science, policy and management
- GIS in Coastal Management
- Global Energy and resources
- Ecological Methods
- Geophysical Methods
- Marine Biology
- Marine Field Ecology
- Ecophysiology
- Ecology
- Sedimentary and Environmental Geology
A short guide on how to study Marine Science at the University of Sydney can be downloaded from this website. And for further information on marine science units of study please check here.
Postgraduate study can be separated into coursework programs and research programs.
Coursework degree programs consist of individual units of study and usually require attendance at lectures and tutorials. Some programs also have a project or research component at the Master's level. Details on postgraduate courses offered in marine science can be found here.
In postgraduate research programs, students undertake supervised research, the major component of which is a research project leading to the production of a thesis. The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Master of Science (MSc) and Graduate Diploma in Science (GradDipSc) are all research courses.
For further information regarding Postgraduate Coursework and Research options please visit the Faculty of Science website or contact the postgraduate convenor for marine science .

Nail Yakupov scored an incredible goal last night, a goal scorer's goal, a first short scorer's goal. Yak's a sniper! Yak is hot! 4, 3-0-3 +1 is three steps from the sun compared to his first half (39, 6-8-14 -25) and represents real progress in a very important area. Dallas Eakins has him looking pass too much, but hell boys that's better than the stickhandling maniac who gets his ass stapled to the bench. His Corsi for 5×5% for the games since HS are 55.2, 40.9, 65.2, 57.1—music! He has 13 shots in those 4 games, and looks like a different player. The Russian Raketa is back!
Bob Gainey: "My basic plan to begin with (going into Montreal as a second-time GM) was to try to put a good hockey department together so that it then could work. The work that's done in the hockey department through recruitment and management and organizing can be felt by the support staff, the coaches, the players and give them a better opportunity to perform and to succeed. From there, my plan was to use the energy that's built to affect the play and affect the outcome and the success of the team on the ice."
One area I think we can give Steve Tambellini some credit is bringing some structure and best practices to the minor league system. A good way to see progress is via graduating players. How many former Barons have impacted the current Oilers this season?
- Mark Arcobello 34, 4-13-17
- Jeff Petry 44, 3-7-10
- Taylor Fedun 4, 2-0-2
- Tyler Pitlick 3, 1-0-1
- Anton Lander 12, 0-0-0
- Martin Marincin 7, 0-0-0
Petry is now an established NHLer, and Arcobello appears to be pushing that way plus Marincin is showing some signs of life in his NHL career. This is not the 1972-73 Nova Scotia Voyageurs but if they can send one or two men north every winter that's a pipeline MacT never had as coach when they were lending this kids out like motel matches.
- More Gainey: I'd been with the Stars about 5 years and it was evident we didn't have enough good players to compete against the good teams. We had some good young players like Mike Modano and Derian Hatcher and Richard Matvichuk, but we didn't have enough, we had too many holes. We didn't have an adequate second line center to play against Colorado (with Forsberg and Sakic). I thought we made a nice goaltending improvement from Jon Casey to Andy Moog; but from Moog to Belfour was again another change of caliber that had a real impact on the performance of the team. So, we added players in each position that were elite players—along with a top-flight coach in Ken Hitchcock—which allowed us to draw a few other players. Once it starts to form, it's easier for a player who is looking for a place to play to see how he'll fit in.
That's really what this is, you know. This Gainey quote (from Behind the Moves) is basically the same as 'get good players, keep good players' from Al Arbour back in the day.
- Elite Draft Flow: Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Nail Yakupov
- Good Draft Decisions: Ales Hemsky, Jeff Petry, Sam Gagner, Jordan Eberle, possibly Martin Marincin
- Good Trade Acquisitions: David Perron, Ryan Smyth
- Good Free Agent Signings: Justin Schultz, Boyd Gordon, Andrew Ference
- Good Minor League/College Signings: Mark Arcobello
I think that's MacT's chore now, a little from each section every summer. There's no easy fix, although I do think this team is going to change its mix between now and next fall. Some of these draft picks are heading out of town.
Lowdown hits the air at 10 this morning, some Yak talk and maybe we'll discuss trades and the deadline. Scheduled to appear on TSN 1260:
- Michael Parkatti, Boys on the Bus. Yakupov, Shot distance metric and what it tells us about last night, and more.
- Steve Hamilton, Edmonton Oil Kings coach and Vimy Ridge teacher. He's just back from coaching Team Pacific at the U-17 World Hockey Challenge and we'll talk about it.
- Ryan Batty from Copper and Blue. Trade deadline, Hall's season, Yak City!
- Jeff Krushell, Krush Performance. Talking Olympic athletes and the years of sacrifice finally being rewarded.
10-1260 via text, @Lowetide_ on twitter. Love your input!

A major expansion at Legoland Florida is set to open up this summer. The Polk County theme park is teaming up with the Cartoon Network to "The World of Chima" to life. The new attraction is based on the product line, LEGO Legends of Chima.
The new expansion will feature an interactive water ride called The Quest for Chi, which is a mystical energy source. Families will also be able to try out the action packed Speedorz Arena and meet all the Chima characters. There's even a 4D Land of Chima movie in the works.
"This is the first time a theme park has invested in a major expansion concurrently with the rollout of a new brand and product line," Legoland Florida General Manager Adrian Jones said in a press release. "It was an easy decision based on how well Lego Legends of Chima has been received by children and those who are young at heart around the world."
The Legends of Chima series focuses on highly-advanced animals the live in the magical land of Chima. The storylines feature powerful tribes of animal warriors that battle between good and evil. The Lego toys that go along with the series are the highest tested products in the last 12 years.
The announcement reflects some of the success Legoland Florida has had since it opened in October 2011. The park has already had two major expansions. It opened a water park in May 2012, and also expanded its Miniland USA in November. The Winter Haven theme park already consists of 150 acres, and 50 different rides and attractions. The park is geared towards families with kids between the ages of 2-12.

PERTH (Reuters) - Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd
ANZ, the most Asia-focused of Australia's four largest lenders, will offer a range of banking products to companies in the free-trade zone, in both yuan and foreign currencies.
The bank plans to open the sub-branch in 2014. The free-trade zone, which covers an area of nearly 29 sq km on the eastern outskirts of Shanghai, was launched in late September.
"We look forward to contributing to its success by supporting cross border trade and investment flows, as well as promoting the development of RMB (renminbi) financial markets," Charles Li, Chief Executive of ANZ China, said in a statement.
Australia's third-largest bank by market value follows Deutsche Bank
China's State Council said it would open up its largely sheltered services sector to foreign competition in the zone and use it as a testing ground for reforms, including a convertible yuan and liberalized interest rates.
ANZ has stood apart from its Australian rivals by seeking to position itself as a pan-Asian player. It has been in China since 1986 and was locally incorporated in 2010. It has five branches and three sub-branches across five cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing and Hangzhou.

5 Rocket Stocks to Buy After the Greek Vote
BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- Well, it's over. On Sunday, Greek voters elected the New Democracy party, a group that's pro-bailout and pro-austerity. That win should give investors some comfort over one country in the eurozone. Now all eyes are turned to Spain.
Spain unseated early gains in stocks across the pond after the vote, as yields on Spanish debt reached a new record. In other words, investors aren't willing to loan money to Spain right now unless they can get more money than ever for taking on the risk. Still, the EU is finally showing some promise; last week's 100 billion euro bailout of Spanish banks was a first step toward setting the Mediterranean kingdom (and stocks) on the right path.

Above Toronto's Glad Day Bookshop, Colin Marshall talks to Jaime Woo, writer, game designer, co-founder of the Toronto video game festival Gamercamp (the next edition of which happens this month), and author of Meet Grindr: How One App Changed the Way We Connect. They discuss taking the measure of a city by firing up Grindr and examining its men; things people have figured out how to use the app for other than hooking up and sending "a slew of dick pics"; how such apps have illustrated the decreased yet increase importance of living in particular places; the changing signifiers of queer culture, offline and on; how he views the must-touted "multiculturalism" of Toronto; what his 13-year-old self growing up in the suburbs would have thought about Grindr; the app's stark limitations as advantages that counteract our impulse to too-narrowly define our desires; how to learn about Toronto by observing the couples in its advertisements; the ever-present "distance" in the city, which guards against trends that miss but also prevent the ones that make homeruns; Grindr as a video game, his history with gaming, and what let him to co-found Gamercamp; his mission to bring the novelty and "whimsy" back to gaming, included but not limited to his creation of a new physical game based on the idea of social distance"; how a set of rules forms a system, how that system makes an experience, and when we call that experience a game; and the strategies one can follow to better understand the "rules" of a system like Toronto.

Colin Marshall sits down in Studio City with Mark Frauenfelder, founder of the popular zine-turned-blog Boing Boing, founding co-editor of Make magazine, and author of Maker Dad: Lunch Box Guitars, Antigravity Jars, and 22 Other Incredibly Cool Father-Daughter DIY Projects. They discuss whether he still thinks about Los Angeles dingbat apartments, and the extent to which their owners have customized them today; all barriers falling for the modern maker except for the one asking who's interested; how his daughters' fascination with card tricks preceded their interest in making things; what kind of project kids can complete under their own steam; Los Angeles as a place for makers, the current state of its maker spaces, and the making heritage offered by its historical hot-rod culture as described in Tom Wolfe's The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby; his history with this city, which goes back to 1987, albeit one interrupted by periods in Japan, on a South Pacific island, and elsewhere; the semi-agricultural life- and making style Los Angeles affords him; how growing your own food allows you to think more clearly about food, and making your own media allows you to think more clearly about media; how his grasp of media improved as he engaged in every stage of the D.I.Y. publishing revolution; learning through mistakes, as opposed to school's pressure not to make mistakes in the first place; the debilitating world of the "smart kid"; the "freedom to be foolish" offered in Los Angeles; the dueling temptations of broadminded generalism and singleminded obsession; his role in the cyberpunk culture of the 80s and 90s, and to what extent we live in the utopian and/or dystopian future it envisioned today; his hope for an increasingly tech-focused San Francisco to continue exporting progressive ideas; the rise of meta-making, and the promise of large-scale decentralized making of solving some of "the world's problems"; how he deals with the firehose of amazing stuff to feature on Boing Boing and in Make; and what his daughters have taught him about making while he's taught them about making.

Colin Marshall sits down at the University of Southern California with School of Architecture professor James Steele, author of many books on architecture and architects, including, just over twenty years ago, Los Angeles Architecture: The Contemporary Condition. They discuss the how the city's conflict with "autopia" has gone since then; the obsolescence of not just the freeways, but the city itself; whether Los Angeles has gone from too architecturally crazy to not architecturally crazy enough; the evidence for downtown's non-revival, and what a fatal inertia and incrementalism may have to do with it; the Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything (BANANA) mentality as expressed not just in Los Angeles but the whole of America; how creative individuals can somehow add up to an uncreative city; what the Case Study houses meant to Los Angeles architectural history, and why they failed; whether the "L.A. School" of architects like Frank Gehry, Thom Mayne, and Eric Owen Moss every really cohered into a movement; how current Los Angeles architecture doesn't express the zeitgeist, possibly because the city no longer has one; what he would change in a new edition of Los Angeles Architecture (and how much more grim his assessment would become); the emergence of a dense, connected city within a less dense, less connected one; the most fascinating architectural ideas to come out of USC; what he sees in his students' attitudes toward Los Angeles' built environment; the "excitement combined with confusion" he feels on his increasingly frequent trips to Asia; popular fantasies of changing Los Angeles, like halving distances or vastly increasing its transit; and how we nonetheless feel curious about what lies ahead in the city's future.

They discuss now as an opportune time to be into zombies; how his mom got him into not just zombie movies but Dungeons & Dragons; the "love letter to the 1980s" he wrote with the first No More Kings album; his early forays into game design, typing in code line-by-line and saving it on a tape drive, later struggling against the limitations of software like Game-Maker; Game-Makerish limitations as the true drivers of art; the experience of growing up in Rhode Island, and who thrives there; being a big fish in a small pond, being a small fish in a big pond, and the appeal regardless of the ultimately more interesting big ponds; the eternal struggle to finish projects, and what we can learn from the examples of such "obsessive" creators as Francis Ford Coppola, Shane Carruth, Jerry Seinfeld, and Jiro Ono; the things you make as diamonds compressed from the coal of your time; the wide reach of No More Kings' "Sweep the Leg" music video, which reunited the cast of The Karate Kid and continues to win the band most of its fans; his anxiety about becoming an "80s pop culture" act; specialized interests and the even more specialized places they overlap as the new stages for subculture; his time in Japan, motivated by the thought that he "can't be the guy who only knows one language"; how, to learn languages or make things, you have to give yourself no choice in the matter; the "electric sense of potential" and "ambient ambition" in a city like Los Angeles, not often felt even in "nicer" places; this city as the most internet-like actual place yet established; and the reasons not to want to go back to Old Economy Steve's economy, or to the days of a powerful cultural mainstream — even if, as in the 80s, that mainstream produced a lot of neat stuff.

Colin Marshall sits down in Highland Park with Javier Cabral, the "food, booze, and punk rock" writer formerly known as The Teenage Glutster, and currently known as The Glutster. They discuss his mission to change the official punk rock food of Los Angeles from the Oki-dog to the taco; the reasons for the taco's current surge of general popularity; the reputation Mexican food has, even among the otherwise culinarily aware, as "just Mexican food"; the humbling his Mexican-food expertise received at the hands of his girlfriend; the singular form of "tamales"; what the bean-and-cheese burrito stands for in Los Angeles Mexican cuisine; his Korean food outing with Matthew Kang; how punk rock got him exploring Los Angeles first, and how looking for punk show listings exposed him to the food writing of Jonathan Gold; what kind of music develops in the backyards of east Los Angeles; the pots of food his mom made for the attendees at his free 21st birthday punk show; how much he enjoyed comped meals (and drinks) on La Cienega as a young, broke food writer, and why he swore off them; why the eastside and westside continually accuse one another of having no food; the cultural overlap he's found between food and punk rock in the most logical city for those two to come together; his long-form Saveur piece "Mexico Feeds Me", which took him back to his family's home state of Zacatecas (and which finally got his parents understanding his job); his love of street food, and his refusal to write about it for fear of getting its purveyors shut down; how both street food and punk rock always come back, no matter who tries to stamp them out; the burden of listicle-writing; and the etymology of the word "Glutster".

Colin Marshall sits down in Los Feliz with artist, filmmaker, and writer William E. Jones. They discuss what one learns by viewing a city through the prism of its gay porn; how Los Angeles gives away the least of itself in that form as in others; home he introduced Fred Halsted's "gay porn masterpiece" L.A. Plays Itself to Los Angeles Plays Itself maker Thom Andersen, and how the movie helped fund Chantal Akerman's first projects; Selma Avenue, once the "hustler central" of Los Angeles; the city as he came to know it in the movies before he came to know it in real life; the Los Angeles tendency to identify with specific neighborhoods; how truly coming to know the city somehow requires both driving and not driving; what made he and Thom Andersen decide to make a "useful" book of their conversations; his examination of the nonsexual elements of the gay porn, and the other work that got him a reputation for a time as "the porn guy"; his resolution not to create around any obvious unifying concept; why Morrissey's robust Latino fandom confounds people, and how it ties into Los Angeles' long strain of musical Anglophilia; the similarities between the industrial decay of northern England and the forlorn provinciality of Southern California suburbs; how city centers, to an extent excepting Los Angeles', have fallen to "fabulous wealth and enormous corporate power"; the way places never turn out quite as intended here, and what it means for civic pride, the force that begins a city's slide into decadence; what kind of a town Los Angeles has become for experimental film; the city's ability, now at stake, to nurture "something like a bohemia," which Glasgow has done where London hasn't; and what traces of Fred Halsted's Los Angeles survive today.

Colin Marshall sits down in Koreatown with Noé Montes, photographer and publisher of El Aleph Books. They discuss what MacArthur Park, that place "beyond any laws or organization," means to him; what difference the much-discussed light of Los Angeles makes for a photographer; the city's sunsets, beaches, palm trees, and the ultimate fact of its being "kind of ugly"; the New Yorker who told him he "just doesn't get" Los Angeles; the pleasures of living in a city that doesn't need defending; the impossible task he once considered upon photographing each and every block; the "synoptic vision" he gained upon seeing Los Angeles as a Borges-style "aleph"; when the LAPD took him up in a helicopter, and what understanding of the city he gained thereby; how Los Angeles works best at two levels, the very macro and the very micro; the "layering of information" in the city's built environment; his work with Metro, an organization now in the process of "actually connecting the city"; how he first gained an awareness of Los Angeles. growing up in the agricultural parts of California, as a place from which others fled; the importance of the desert, not just as a photographic subject but as a boundary to the city; the contrast in pace and sense of possibility he found upon coming here from New York; the feeling that the definition of Los Angeles is happening right now; his realization, after becoming a full-time photographer, that "this is all I could have done"; the "extraordinary access to be nosy" provided by photography (and indeed interviewing) that allows him to discover the unknown "great work" going on in the city; the vast amounts of money he's seen poured into photographic ephemeralities; the African family he once saw holding hands before a giant pyramid of cereal; the "failed modernism" and other supremely photographable qualities of Mexico City; and what we can learn about Los Angeles from the photography it produces.

Colin Marshall sits down in Santa Monica with Jason Boog, former publishing editor a Mediabistro and author of Born Reading: Bringing Up Bookworms in a Digital Age. They discuss what freaks us out about the idea of a baby with an iPad; his project's venerable predecessor The Read-Aloud Handbook; the importance of the very act of reading aloud, and especially what he calls "interactive reading"; the fallacy equating amount of books read with intelligence or even knowledge that plagues children and adults alike; how reading became a proxy for well-being; his new appreciation of Los Angeles libraries developed while taking his daughter around to them; how he introduced Mark Twain to the baby; how our generation seems to have proved that kids don't get wrecked by unlimited access to content; when, exactly, digital reading became acceptable; his move from New York to Los Angeles, and the cities' comparative reading cultures; his interest in Depression-era writers, and why on some level we still believe that to become a writer means to become poor; how we've become "cyborgs, in a real, genuine sense"; what we can learn by watching the first generation who could say no to books grow up; and what culture his daughter has already started introducing to him.

Colin Marshall sits down in Culver City with Matthew Kang, food writer, editor of Eater LA, author of the blog Mattatouille, and proprietor of the Scoops Westside ice cream shop. They discuss the difference between eating on Los Angeles' west side and elsewhere in the city; how he manages to sell that health-conscious region on ice cream; the willingness of eaters, nowadays, to get back to the occasional bit of unhealthiness; how he prides himself on introducing unusual flavors to the public through the friendly medium of ice cream, even when kids' parents insist they "just get the chocolate"; how he got into food writing through Yelp during his previous career as a banking analyst; his explorations of Los Angeles through the Zagat guide and as a "hugely involved commenter" on Eater; what he experienced on his Koreatown days in childhood, an ideal place for him as it provides "Korea, but not in Korea"; what it meant to him when he discovered a time capsule of a greasy spoon buried in a Beverly Hills office building; the parts of town that put up with "a little less B.S." from customization-crazed customers; the balance between "I want it the way I want it" and "Just give me what's best"; the conversations he had with his parents and fellow Asian Americans when he left his banking career behind for a live of travel and food; the shift in downtown's Grand Central Market, and what it says about Los Angeles' wider social and food cultures; how your background matters less here, and how long that might last; food as his conduit for understanding not just Los Angeles but Seoul, Istanbul, Chicago, and Nagoya; how the current coffee-culture boom manifests itself here, where he divides time into two eras, before Intelligentsia and after; how Angelenos can make sure not to provincialize themselves; the exhilaration he feels at certain perfect "Midnight City" moments in his car; and how Los Angeles offers a seemingly infinite variety of places you should eat, but no one place you must.

Colin Marshall sits down in Santa Monica with Jim Benning, travel writer and co-founder of World Hum, home of "The Best Travel Stories on the Internet." They discuss why Mexican food on other continents sucks so bad; the nature of a "weather lifestyle" site he previously edited; the old question of travel versus tourism; his relationship to the label of "travel writing"; whether hatred or love for a place can produce anything but uninteresting writing; our need for "hidden gems"; how Los Angeles offers the world within it, yet rewards travel outside of it; that feeling you get upon first waking up in a completely unknown city; the American traveler's anxiety about entering a foreign McDonalds; his multimedia production "Starbucks Versus the Traveler"; the English and American traditions of the travel writing of ignorance; the rant for a single-language world he found in his old diaries; the lost world of the Pan Am vacationer and the United States' "new humility"; LAX and the many other ways that Los Angeles seemingly hasn't internalized its own status; the obsessions, like surfing, that take you places you wouldn't have known to go otherwise; having a relationship with a place as you would a person; his mid-1990s Orange County "Drive-Thru Life"; his search for the stories that make him feel like he feels when he's traveling; and where in town he currently goes for his tacos.

Alberto Gonzalez says "there is no express grant" of habeas corpus in the Constitution.Good. So let's lock him up and refuse to allow the judicial branch access to him.
Article I, section 9. Second sentence.The Attorney General is well aware of that, Joe. In fact, he gave this "no express grant" argument explicitly in terms of that, when directly questioned on it by Senator Specter.
Why now? Why are they playing this card now?The Administration has been holding people - including American citizens - without allowing Habeas Corpus for quite some time now.
I say I'd like to see this, well, ruled on by the Supreme Court but what I'd really like is to see Gonzalez cockpunched by Henry Rollins.While the Constitution does state that the Supreme Court has appellate jurisdiction as to both law and fact, it does not expressly grant the Supreme Court the right to convene.
I suppose you're referring to Lincoln trying to suspend habeas during the civil war; but he lost that fight.Details, please? I was under the impression that, although the courts ruled his suspension of Habeas as unconstitutional, Lincoln essentially ignored that, and it remained suspended (in effect) until after the war completed.
And regardless, whether you agree with the action or not, the suspension of habeas corpus under Lincoln was clearly Consitutional.Was it?
I find the word 'privilege' there very disturbing. However, I am not clear how this stacks up with the 5th and 6th ammendments in the Bill of Rights. That's what puzzles me. Can someone explain it for us lay folk?The "writ of habeas corpus" is (technically) the power of the judicial branch to demand explanation for why a prisoner is imprisoned; it is not the right of the prisoner to demand so.
powers, me thinks.Well, that's the exact word that the Declaration of Independence says, certainly. And I'm not saying the writ of h.c. is not a "power" (in fact, I explicitly said it was a "power"). But it's not clear to me why that implies that the word "privilege" is not applicable.
The Supreme Court, under the stewardship of Chief Justice Marshall ruled in favor of the Indians and ordered the President to protect the Indians. Jackson responded "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it."In a just world, Jefferson would rise from the fucking grave to wring your scrawny little errand-boy neck, Gonzalez, you spineless sack of shit.
Amendment XQuod Erat Fucking Demonstratum. You want stupid sophomoric semantic nitpicking? I got your stupid sophomoric semantic nitpicking right here, motherfucker!
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
Why for instance, should it be said, that the liberty of the press shall not be restrained, when no power is given by which restrictions may be imposed? I will not contend that such a provision would confer a regulating power; but it is evident that it would furnish, to men disposed to usurp, a plausible pretense for claiming that power.Indeed rolltruck found an interesting quote for a _plausible_ pretense. As eriko noticed in a past thread, Gonzo points at the difference between "right" and "privilege" and founds his objection on the text of the constitution which reads :
The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require itTherefore if writ of habes is just a privilege, Amendment IX can't help much
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.One could argue that if any american citizen is born free, therefore he/she has all the powers, he/she can do absolutely anything..unless there is an agreement to find a _limit_ to the exercise of freedom, starting from the Constitution, which also limit an otherwise limitless power of governments. Gonzo says habes is a "privilege" and not a right, so shove it !
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved for the States respectively, or to the people.And I haven't found any mention about "power to decide habeas can't be applied to you" , but certainly if such a power is to be constructed it is reserved to State or People.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.Here's the "which people" , as it wouldn't make any sense to attribute any other "people" a power that would substract from U.S. citizen the power to control themselves.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.They also like to ignore Amendment V (my emphasis):
No person shall...be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.posted by kirkaracha at 5:45 AM on January 25, 2007 [1 favorite]
Gonzales: I meant by that comment, the Constitution doesn't say every individual in the United States or every citizen is hereby granted or assured the right to habeas. Doesn't say that. It simply says the right of habeas corpus shall not be suspended except...A fuller transcript reveals that Gonzales's response to that was "Umm." He knows he's full of it.
Specter: You may be treading on your interdiction and violating common sense, Mr. Attorney General.

Research Profile
Ms Corinne Funnell
Address:1-3 Museum Place
Corinne graduated from Cardiff University in 2009 with an MSc in Social Science Research Methods (criminology) (distinction).
Corinne is working on developing an understanding of racist hate crime from the perspective of victims and their caseworkers, using ethnographic research methods. She is currently looking to establish a research network on hate crime and is organising a hate crime symposium, which will be held on 26 April 2012 at Cardiff University.
Corinne has taught a range of courses at undergraduate and Master's levels including: offending and victimisation; qualitative research methods; hate crime; media culture and law; penal theory; and punishment, discipline and control.
Before commencing research with an ESRC 1+3 (socio-legal pathway) scholarship, Corinne worked for the Home Office and Government Office South West for seven years. Portfolios included drug prevention, violent crime and performance management. Prior to that she was a Drug Action Team Coordinator, after graduating from Bristol University with an honours degree in law before completing an LLM on mapping illegal drug markets.
Research Interests
Criminology, criminal justice, hate crime, victimization, research methods, ethnography
PhD Topic / Area
The primary focus of the doctoral research has been to answer the question 'How do hate crime victims and caseworkers perceive racist hate crimes and incidents and what meanings do they give these experiences?'. The research also aims to understand how the 'victim-centred' definition operating in the criminal justice system (in England and Wales) shapes the experiences of racist hate crime victims.
The research design employed an ethnographic approach, which sought to observe (hate crime) caseworkers from a voluntary sector agency. The agency is Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) and user led. The research involved observing caseworkers at the agency as well as in multi-agency settings and with clients. The fieldwork has yielded observational data over a two and a half year period as well as ethnographic interviews with clients and caseworkers. The preliminary findings and draft thesis are predicated on the idea that hate crimes are interactionally accomplished.

Working to get the house ready, but the client keeps changing the specs on it. The guy has decided that he wants to impress his pals and he has made a lot of costly changes to the different aspects of the design. He has the place pretty well rigged up with technology, there are some pretty nice CCTV systems on the inside of the house and out on the property. I say that plural because he has for some reason sit up two systems. It would make sense if one was backing up the other, but I do not really know that it works like that. Continue reading
Started Thinking Taking Up Skydiving
Started thinking taking up skydiving the other day. I saw an ad on the web for tandem skydiving in the UK. The ad was for the Army Parachute association or some other charity with a name which was similar to that. It said that it was some sort of Royal Army Parachute center at Netheravon, a village near London on the River Avon and the A345 if I recall correctly. At any rate they have a thing where you can jump out of a plane with some guy attached to you. Of course that way he is doing the stuff that you need to know what you are doing for. Continue reading
Spent the Day at the Track
I sort of spent the day living a bit like the rich folks, this friend of mine has invested in a couple of race horses. He came into a good bit of money and decided to have some fun with some of it. So he bought a share in a couple of colts, one of them finally got to the point where it is ready to race today. Of course you probably never think about how dangerous it is to be in a horse race if you are like me and you have never seen it happen up close. Of course just getting the horse into that starting gate can be dangerous, especially if you are not really careful. Continue reading
Getting Settled Here in London
I am staying in the Fashion District of London right now, not really anything that I planned. It was not too far from where I am working and the place is rather cheap. It is a bit more than a room, but not much. It is a tiny apartment (or flat as they say here) which is above a chemist's shop. The place was vacant and I blundered into it entirely by accident. I realized that I could walk to work in a few minutes. There are cctv systems every place you go around here. In fact I have become a bit self conscious about it. A lot of them have some private function obviously, just like they would back home. However they also have a system of cameras that blankets the entire country apparently.
It is a bit Orwellian in fact, because it seems as though they could probably follow you almost any place you went using these things. Continue reading

Buying an election may be the way things are, but that situation certainly doesn't excuse the practice.
One abnormal case among thousands proves nothing.
Sal -- There has been a candidate at my door (not you).
You lead fundraising 8 fold, so why no filing????? It would be hard to believe it's the 50 bucks. So what's up?
And please, politicians are notorious for making promises today. Come tomorrow? Anything goes!
Look, I made the original comment because it's true (money, and only money, is the major factor in winning most elections). The comment was made about the upcoming elections, nothing personal. Since you have by far the largest 'war chest', it's understandable you would take exception. That exception, however, does zilch to justify the ugly truth.
