Man Pricks Holes in Girlfriend's Condoms & Goes to Jail for Getting Her Pregnant
Got a creepy ex-boyfriend story? Hopefully it doesn't come close to this one. Craig Jaret Hutchinson is facing 18 months in jail after he pricked holes in his girlfriend's condoms. The girlfriend -- well ex-girlfriend these days -- ended up pregnant with a baby she never wanted and ended up getting an abortion.
Hutchinson, meanwhile, was hauled into court. He's been convicted on charges of sexual assault. What in heaven's name would make a guy think this was OK?
Apparently Hutchinson and the woman identified only as N.C. had been together nine months and things were getting a little rocky. He told cops in Nova Scotia he thought a baby would bring them back together.
So he forced her to have unprotected sex without her consent?
Not the answer, folks. Not even close. Obviously the key to any relationship is trust, and Hutchinson violated that one big time.
But this particular method -- sabotaging birth control -- is troubling because it stole away this woman's right to choose what happens to her own body. Sure, she said yes to sex, but she very deliberately made use of condoms because she was not ready for what results when having unprotected sex. And then she was stuck dealing with that aftermath anyway because her boyfriend was a sicko!
N.C. had to go through the heartwrenching decision of having an abortion she never should have had to have, an abortion she was actively trying to prevent just as she was trying to prevent pregnancy by using condoms.
What Hutchinson -- and really anyone -- needs to learn is that you can't make someone else's decisions for them. We have free will, free reign over our own bodies. Violating that is violating the most personal of human rights.
Does this qualify as a crime worth 18 months in jail in your book?

But, he didn't sexually assault her. She had CONSENTUAL sex with him. Yes, it's creepy and wrong that he poked holes in the condom, but how is this different from a girl lying to a guy about being on the pill and getting pregnant with a baby he doesn't want? I know at least three people who have done this, shouldn't they also be convicted of sexual assault???

RhondaVeggieJanuary 4, 2013 at 10:43 AMYep, if this is sexual assault then so is not taking a pill. It's a slippery slope. If popping a condom is sexual assault then so is saying you're on the pill but not taking it. If that's assault then what about knowingly taking antibiotics while on the pill knowing it decreases the effectiveness? How about having sex without checking IUD strings to make sure it's in place?
It's a jerk move for sure but it's not assault. Even without the holes she could have wound up pregnant using condoms, there's always a risk.

katJanuary 4, 2013 at 11:07 AMThe difference here is that he did this fully intending to get her pregnant... without her consent. That's the point. If she's using condoms, clearly she doesn't want a baby at the moment, and while it's true that she could get pregnant while using condoms, it's highly unlikely unless the condom was made ineffective, as it was, here. I do believe that coercing your partner into a pregnancy they don't want to (or maybe even can't--what if this had really endangered her health?) handle should be held as a criminal offense for BOTH genders. And sexual assault works here because the sex was essentially had without protection. I can't think of any way this translates to a nonsexual situation. (Other than maybe coercing someone not to wear a seatbelt? At the end of the day, though, that's still ultimately their choice, and really hard to trick someone who wants to stay buckled up into doing.)

The only way to make sure she doesn't get pregnant before she's ready is to NOT HAVE SEX. Condoms, the pill, IUDs...nothing is 100%. Yes what he did was wrong but he'd not have had the opportunity if she wasn't doing the deed.
Also she didn't have to have an abortion. She could have went the adoption route.

He was in the wrong and should serve time, just to prove a point that he messed with a human life just because things aren't going his way. Their relationship was "rocky" so she continued to have sex with him?? Why wasn't she on the pill since condoms and/or the pill are not 100% fool proof, it just increases the protection using both.
By the way Rhonda there is only 1 antibiotic that decreases the effectivness of the pill, 1. So if a woman says she got pregs because of that I would questions her....I have to look up the antibiotic again can't remember which one it is.

- -- Nonmember comment from
KDJanuary 4, 2013 at 11:43 AMIn this instance, I think sexual assault is appropriate because being pregnant is the most intimate thing that a woman can experience and forcing that level of intimacy on someone else should never be acceptable. If the tables had been turned and she was the one that intentionally damaged the birth control, she should be in jail for fraud, but not sexual assault as he wouldn't get pregnant, but would be responsible for financial support.

Rebecca7708January 4, 2013 at 11:45 AMGood point, krelia. If the roles were reversed, this wouldn't even be such a big issue. And the man would be on the hook for child support.

While I think it's creepy, what happens to the women who poke holes in condoms and get pregnant? I don't see them getting arrested, etc. I think this is ridiculous. If she REALLY didn't want to have a baby - don't have sex.
Also, condom's break. Why couldn't she be on the pill AND use condoms? How were they even able to prove that HE poked holes in the condoms? This is such a weird story.

I just read the linked article and saw where he texted her and admitted he sabotaged the condoms, so now I feel stupid for asking that question lol my bad

The right to "bare arms" is one that Americans hold dearly.
For the first time in a long time, bare arms were visible in the great outdoors on Friday. Several people were wearing t-shirts, as the temperatures climbed into the 50-s.
"54 or 56 degrees, I said that's it, I've got to get out,
It's that warm," said John Miller who was hitting golf balls at Bobick's driving range.
At Sam Adams Elementary School in Cassopolis,
The gloves came off, as did many of the coats.
"When she announced on the announcements today that we were going to have outdoor recess you could hear throughout the school, "yeah!" said principal Betty Ivers.
"We've been in, people have been stir crazy, the adults
and the kids need to get out get a little exercise and fresh air."
Winter is a long way from gone at Swiss Valley Ski Area in Jones, Michigan.
Snow enthusiasts were out in full force there on Friday.
According to Kevin Scanlon of South bend,
"The kids just love to snow board. They love the park, so looked like it might be our last chance, so, we're going to try it today."

Intel is going to try going after the data center with a brand new Atom System-on-a-Chip (SoC) that can be built into relatively cheap, high-density microservers for cloud providers.
It really rather not - it really wants to sell its high-end chips - but it has no choice. It has forecast that microservers could get to be 10% of the server market by 2015 and it will have to fight for a piece of it after losing a head start earlier this year when AMD plopped down $334 million in cash and stock for SeaMicro, a microserver start-up that already had Intel designed in.
But, given the tone in its voice this week, Intel is apparently serious about the sector, which it's blown off before for defensive purposes.
Intel says the new 22nm dingus, code-named Centerton and seemingly in development since 2007, is the first low-power 64-bit dual-core SoC for these data center systems that's in production and shipping to customers.
Intel makes the production and shipping point because it's looking over its shoulder at ARM, which is promising to deliver a four-core 64-bit version of its widget for microservers by 2014. Like Intel says there's currently no enterprise-class ARM-based server chip but just wait. The ARM contingent is in major test sites.
ARM vendors have trouble buying the Centerton as a real server chip since it lacks on-chip management, I/O, networking and fabric.
Intel's part sips an un-Intel-like 6W of power - which sounds low to Intel camp followers but it's still hot and therefore expensive by ARM standards. It delivers four threads with Intel Hyper-threading.
It's also got familiar server features like Error-correcting Code (ECC) memory support for higher reliability and Intel Virtualization technology for enhanced workload management. (It's suspected that Atom always had ECC and virtualization but Intel turned the features off in earlier generations.)
Microservers, which could be sold in the droves, are supposed to be good at un-intensive compute chores like serving up web pages, content delivery, large distributed memory caching, simple Big Data search systems and MapReduce apps. Within reason, the Centerton is supposed to run the x86 server-class software data centers are used to, which ARM can't do at all.
It's unclear how many nodes Centerton can support. It pretty much depends on how the OEMs finagle the networking. Rival Calexda, which has got ARM-based microservers out for test at major accounts, say it can theoretically support 4,000 nodes and practically support 500-1,000.
See, it takes a lot of systems to process huge numbers of smaller workloads while keeping the power consumption down and such workloads can run many small but highly parallel chunks of code.
Officially designated the S1200, the Intel widget is also expected to be used in storage and networking systems and Intel says - without indicating who's doing what - that the part's got more than 20 low-power server and storage and networking systems design-wins at Dell, HP, Huawei, Inspur, Quanta, Wiwynn, CETC, Supermicro, Accusys, Microsan, Qsan and Qnap.
In fact an unnamed storage vendor reportedly swapped out an ARM design for the Intel SoC and ARMs are supposed to be pretty darn good in storage applications.
HP, which is already in bed with Calexa and its ARM-based boxes as part of its processor-agnostic Project Moonshot, means to try the Intel part in a hush-hush server dubbed Gemini.
This summer HP said the first Moonshot servers would be based on Centerton, with initial systems shipping by the end of this year. It's now more likely to be in the first quarter.
Dell's been partnering with Marvell to create so-called Copper servers using Marvell's ARM-based Armada XP chip but - since Marvell has gone dark about its development - Dell may be closer to selling Calexa boxes.
SeaMicro, the microserver pioneer that AMD had the temerity to buy - considering all of SeaMicro's gear is based on Intel parts - even Intel parts made especially for it - and will be until it switches over to ARM - has a so-called supercompute fabric that connects thousands of processor cores, memory, storage and input/output traffic and supports multiple processor instruction sets.
Calexda, which is hobbled by the fact that it's neither x86 or 64-bit, useful propaganda points for Intel though in the final analysis it may not matter, has fabric, I/O and management built into its chip.
Apparently OEMs will have to wait until later this year or early next when Intel's supposed to deliver a next-generation Avoton Atom that could make the ARM boys sweat.
It'll be built using Intel's fancy new 22nm 3D Tri-gate transistors and should have 16GB-32GB of memory and four or eight cores.
By then Intel might have a fabric too.
Karl Freund, Calexda's VP of marketing, sent around a message about the Centerton saying, "Intel didn't specify the additional chips required to deliver a real 'server-class' solution like Calxeda's, but our analysis indicates this could add at least 10 additional watts plus the cost. That would imply the real comparison between ECX and S1200 is 3.8 vs 16 watts, so roughly 3-4 times more power for Intel's new S1200. And again comparing two cores to four, internal Calxeda benchmarks indicate that Calxeda's four cores and larger cache deliver 50% more performance compared to the two hyper-threaded Atom cores. This translates to a Calxeda advantage of 4.5 to six times better performance per watt, depending on the nature of the application."
He provided this chart to make the comparison plain:
Intel S1200
Cache (GB)
8 lanes
8 lanes
Fabric Switch
80 Gb
Fabric ports
The new Intel S1200 product family will consist of three processors with frequency ranging from 1.6GHz to 2GHz. They start at $54 in quantities of 1,000.
Despite the design-win parade Intel didn't show off any boxes so competitors figure it won't really have the chip for a while. Microsoft and Facebook are supposed to fancy the widget but it's unclear if they're using it.
Atom SoC configuration in a highly dense rack will reportedly net more revenue than a rack of way fewer, more powerful Xeon processors.
In 2014 Intel will move to a 14nm process first for low-power Xeons and then Atoms.

Circumcision, a tradition rooted in religious tradition, may soon be a thing of the past in San Francisco, where "civil rights advocates" are trying to ban it.
The thrust of the proposal is that circumcision poses medical risks and has little medical benefit, according to an NBC article that also alleges there's a national push to end the procedure.
San Fran resident Lloyd Schofield is spearheading the effort to get the 7,000 signatures required to get the measure on the November ballot. Then comes the difficult part, convincing voters that snipping body parts is a bad idea.
Schofield has said he is working with a group to "end male genital mutilation in the U.S."
"I always knew this was something wrong to do to a child," Schofield told The San Francisco Examiner.
"Although some studies indicate that circumcision reduces the risk of STD transmission, others have indicated that the procedure is not worth the associated risks and diminished sexual function," the NBC article says.
If the measure becomes law, those caught cutting foreskins would face a fine of $1,000 and a year in prison. Only people over the age of 18 would be allowed to have their foreskins removed, according to the NBC article.

I don't like the look of an uncircumcised penis, and it comes down to what I want to look at when I change my kids' diapers and I don't want that looking back at me.

I will never forgive my mother for circumcising me. I have always felt like a part of me was missing. Since my teens I have to wear a synthetic foreskin made of flexible plastic over my penis just to feel normal. I shouldn't have to do this!

No surprise here. Circumcision is practiced by Jews and most Christians. When the Nazis rampaged all over Europe the first thing they did to pick out the Jews was to hold a "short arm inspection". US diplomats had a hard time convincing the Nazis that most US males were circumcised @ birth. Circumcision is the choice of the parent and not the State.

I have a very large uncircumcised penis. I have never had any girls ever say anything about it (of course they are usually drunk and probably didn't notice anyway), but I always get tons of compliments on my "skillz" in the bed. My point is, I enjoy better sex than the circ'd men. I just want to thank my mom and dad (whoever you are) for not cutting off part of my dick.
February 24th, 2011
1:51 pm
I'll agree with this, conditionally, If you outlaw circumcisions before 18, outlaw tattoos and all piercings before 18 also. If we are actually concerned about non-adult physical "mutilation", and yes this does include ears.

"the procedure is not worth the associated risks and diminished sexual function"
HAHAHAHA! What a tool! I'm circumcised and there IS NO diminished sexual function! Who does this jerk think he is? Every female partner I've ever had has told me their repulsion at uncut members. To each girl her own, but I plan on having any male child cut, and God help the jackass that tries to pass legislation to tkae away that RIGHT!

All it means is that people who want a circumcision procedure will go to Marin County, San Mateo County or Contra Costa County to have it performed. With San Francisco circling the drain financially, you'd think they'd have bigger issues to worry about.
February 26th, 2011
4:21 pm
@Mike, Dr. Dean Edell frequently spoke out against circumcision on his show on KGO AM 810. Dr. Edell is not gay, and comes from a Jewish background, yet he's probably done more to raise the issue in people's minds than anyone else in the last 50 years.

Lloyd Schofield was interviewed last week by nationally syndicated radio talk show host Mark Levin. It was a very short interview when Schofield refused to answer any questions about himself and his motivation to promote this ballot issue. It left the audience with the distinct impression that he's a weasel and that he's pushing a barrow.

I'm not circumsized, but have come up with a little trick to make it look like I am. I can send pictures and directions to anyone that is interested. You just need some super glue and some surgical tape. The tape usually comes off during sex, but I usually just act like I have no idea what it is and blame the chick.
February 27th, 2011

Circumcision is, most of the time, cosmetic surgery. It is disgusting to perform such surgery on an infant, who can't give consent, simply so the parent can be happy with the appearance of the child's penis. Or, to put it another way, customizing the genitalia of a child in order to please an adult is sick.
Perhaps even worse, it's often done without anaesthesia, causing the child immense pain.
I invite those who think circumcision is a fine idea to go have the same or a similar operation performed on themselves, without anaesthetic – just like an infant would endure. Let a doctor strap you down to a board and cut/rip off your foreskin or the hood of your clitoris without anaesthetic while you scream. If you aren't willing to go through that yourself, you shouldn't put your child through it.
Bottom line: it isn't your body! If there's no legitimate medical reason to fiddle with it, leave your son's penis alone. If a male is unhappy with having a foreskin, he can have it removed when he's older and, can give informed consent, AND can get anaesthetic.
February 28th, 2011

Any comparison of male circumcision with female genital mutilation is absurd. Go to Africa, meet the women (and girls) who suffer for the rest of their lives from genital mutilation, and you will never make the comparison again.
Really, you do great harm to efforts to stop the cruelty in Africa by your language.
February 28th, 2011
4:41 pm
It really does no harm to circumsize or not. If it is a religious thing then even the law cannot change their practice. Remeber "freedom of religion." And I am somewhat sure that the small missing piece of skin from your penis is not why you have always felt like something was missing in your life. If you really are wearing a fake one, I would advise you to seek professional help.
March 1st, 2011
12:10 pm
Male circumcision causes severe harm. It is pain to the child and a whole range of sensation and sexual and protective function are lost FOR LIFE. The lips and fingertips have similar touch sense. To take this away from another person without their consent is heinous.
It is amusing how cut men say they are fine. That is great that they think that but they have a modified and reduced penis. Women that know, observe that natural is better for both partners for natural reasons, it is the sex we were all intended to have. Do what you want to your own genitals, but cutting parts of a baby off is so outrageous and will be stopped.

Your religiioius freedom stops where the knife contacts the babies penis. Also, this is pro freedom of religion it does not mutilate a baby based on some other person attempting to impose their religion.

MSNBC linked to the new Cheerios advertisement on Twitter Wednesday with the offensive statement,
"Maybe the rightwing will hate it, but everyone else will go awww: the adorable new #Cheerios ad w/ biracial family."
Jason Howerton of theBlaze reported that MSNBC deleted the tweet after a new hashtag, #MyRightWingBiracialFamily, was born.
One would think that after Melissa Harris-Perry featured a panel mocking Mitt Romney for having a black grandson, as reported at Liberty Unyielding, the progressive network would have rethought their tweet.
Not so much.
Howerton wrote,
"After realizing that their offensive generalization doesn't line up with reality, MSNBC quickly deleted and apologized for the tweet."

Brothers Sharing Knowledge on Flickr.
© 2011 Eric Adeleye Photography. The bonds that two brothers share are like no others. I always enjoy photographing Donte and Keon whenever I can. I told them to just pretend I wasn't standing in front of them and I started taking pictures. I like when people can just be themselves in front of my camera. Donte (on the left in this photograph) is preparing to take the GRE exam for graduate school. Keon (on the right in this photograph) finishing up his PHD program at the University of Pennsylvania in Africana Studies. Both are undergraduate alumni of Wake Forrest University in North Carolina. Yes, they are identical twins, it took me a while, but I can tell them apart from each other now. Follow me on Google Plus | Twitter | Facebook | 500px | Tumblr | Website

The summer modern dance program for grades 6-9 offers an encompassing curriculum for the serious student who wishes to study dance in a focused and creative atmosphere. Classes are designed to improve the artistic and technical proficiency of each student while providing a positive environment for the exploration of movement and personal growth.
Summer 2014 programs have concluded, but we'd love to have you join us next year! Click here to join our mailing list, and you'll be among the first to know about summer 2015 programs.
Classes are taught by an experienced and distinguished professional faculty. Additionally, instructors restage choreography and create original works in a variety of styles that showcase students. Each three-week session culminates with a public showing of the repertory pieces and may include a performance in a summer showcase.
Class size is held to approximately 18 students to ensure that students receive individual attention.
Placement in technique class is determined by skill level.
Dance majors train six hours a day and may choose to attend for three or six weeks. The modern dance emphasis includes:
- Ballet technique
- Modern technique
- Improvisation/composition
- Jazz
- Body conditioning
- Repertory
The dance program is housed in the Hildegarde Lewis Dance Building, a beautiful and unique place to study dance. It is situated on the shore of lovely Green Lake, with a barre flanked by large picture windows. Performance venues include Corson Auditorium, Kresge Auditorium, the Interlochen Bowl, and the Upton-Morley Pavilion.
Students should have had at least three years of previous training.
Because of the vigorous nature of the dance program, participants should be free of injury prior to arrival. Any health-related concern should be acknowledged on the medical form and reported to the dance department prior to arrival. Dancers are expected to maintain a body weight that is proportionate to their height and bone structure.
All students are expected to be well-groomed; long hair must be worn up and off the neck. A complete listing of required dance attire and supplies will be posted on the website.

Martial arts film: The Sword Identity
8 April 2013
Tuesday 14th May, 6.30pm, Lecture Theatre 1.03, Malet Place Engineering Building.
Part of the UCL Festival of the Arts
Free tickets available from:
As a continuation of the UCL China Centre for Health and Humanity (CCHH) Festival of Film and the Body, we present The Sword Identity 倭寇的踪迹 (2011), directed by Xu Haofeng 徐浩峰, one of China's cutting edge young directors, and writer and lecturer at Beijing Film Academy.
In the postmodern world of martial arts, Xu's debut film turns his novella of the same name into a film that is 'both a homage to and a comic deconstruction of the Chinese and Japanese martial arts traditions' (Kraicer, Cinemascope). This is a beautifully shot epic which draws on earlier generations of martial arts films with wit and artistry. Illustrating the complexities of wuxia society, the film contains a visual analysis of the subtle dynamics of combat chivalry and simultaneously captures the philosophy behind the skill of the swordsman.

New 49ers cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha has spent the offseason working on his conditioning and learning Vic Fangio's defense. Asomugha signed a one-year contract with the Niners after spending last season with the Philadelphia Eagles.
The cornerback is looking to redeem himself after not living up his big contract he signed with the Eagles. One way Asomugha will be able to regain his old form is by mastering the Niners defense. The transition seems to be going well. When talking about Fangio's defense after a practice at OTAs, Asomugha said,
The adjustment hasn't been that hard. This is a really solid defense all the way around,. Since everybody knows the defense, it's really easy to communicate.
Anything I don't get I can ask anybody on the defense and they pretty much have it down. It's different when everyone has the defense down and one guy needs the answers and everyone can help him out. It's not like everyone is trying to learn something new.
[Video: Asomugha Interview At OTAs]
Asomugha has a huge opportunity to win a starting job at cornerback and prove his detractors wrong that he is washed up. With his intelligence and history of being a shutdown corner, I would not be surprised if he wins Comeback Player of Year in 2013.

Flavors: Wednesday, December 28th
Hope you all had a great Christmas! Matt surprised me with a Nintendo 3DS with my favorite game of all time- The Legend of Zelda- Ocarina of Time (in 3D!). I had no idea I needed this thing, but now I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT. So quick- to whatever needs to happen right now so I can get back to my game:
NEW YEAR'S EVE ORDERING! Now that Union is over I'm getting back to being somewhat on top of my work, and I actually got a NYE ordering tab up in a timely manner! I love the flavors we picked out, it's one of the 4 yearly appearances of our much sought-after "Strawberry Champagne" cupcake, we're doing cocktail party sized brownie platters, PLUS we've lowered our minimum for delivery to just one dozen for the holiday!
And if that wasn't enough, not only will our cupcakes jazz up your New Year's Eve party, but the carbohydrates will actually allow you to drink MORE. You'll be able to ride that fine line between drunk enough to have a great time, and so drunk that your top comes off and you fight your buildings super! It's an investment in your parties success, AND your clean criminal record! ORDER NOW!
FINAL DAYS AT DEKALB! We're open today through Friday from noon til 8, Saturday from 11 til 4pm, and then we're closed for construction projects for three months. Thanks to some delays with city permits, we had to rush to get DeKalb open last summer, and kinda had to do some things backwards just to get it going. Now that we're entering the slow winter months, she's getting shut down so our friends at Urban Space can make some exciting improvements, like……
………..Boardwalks!!!! (ooooooh!)
………………Canopy over the food court!!!!! (aaaahhhhh!!!)
……………Beer Garden!!!!! (My oh my!!!!!!)
…………..Drainage system!!!! (More exciting than it sounds!)
I can't wait until late March to open up our door again. In the interim, we'll be popping up in Nolita just like we did last winter, trying to amp up our wholesale presence around NYC, showing some skin to potential investors and doing LOTS of R&D for the coming year. But for the next four days, DEKALB MARKET IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS, while most of our usual retail outlets are closed for vacation- meaning you should DEFINITELY come and see us!
Navi the Fairy: You would think in the almost 15 years since this Zelda was originally released (yeah, it's been that long), someone would have thought that in a re-release they would have made her SHUT THE HELL UP.
Every five seconds: "Hey! Hey Link! Hey! Hey! Listen! Hey! Hey! Listen! Heeyyy-Oh! Em…errrr….oh, I know- what would Saria say if she knew we were saving Hyrule? That's, um, pretty great, right? Yeah, I didn't think I was actually going to get your attention, but now that I did let's talk! Tell me about your day….Link? Link? Hey! Hey! Hey! Listen! Hey! Hey! Hey! Listen! Hey!"
January's Schedule: I'm doing it today, so if you have a request, get over to Facebook ASAP and let me know! Feel free to throw us any ideas you have for new flavors, too- you never know what we'll run with!
People's Choice Winners 2011! We had a lot of great new flavors come out this year, but a few stood out in your eyes as the best of the best. So today, YOU picked the menu- your four favorite cupcakes of the year! And they are…….
Clockwise from front: Hot Toddy, Pecan Potato Chip, S'Mores, Cinnamon Bun
Hot Toddy: Honey whiskey soaked cake, honey cinnamon buttercream, candied lemon peel
Pecan Potato Chip: Pecan potato chip cake, vanilla buttercream, crushed pecans and potato chips, salted butterscotch
S'Mores: Chocolate cake, speculoos pudding, toasted marshmallow buttercream, ganache, graham cracker crumbs
Cinnamon Bun: Cinnamon sugar spotted cake, cream cheese buttercream, cinnamon streusel, cinnamon butterscotch
Available at:
Robicelli's at DeKalb Market: Corner of Flatbush Ave & Willoughby
Hom: 88th Street & 3rd Avenue, Bay Ridge

Frank Bruni Likes The Fault in Our Stars
Most of you probably don't even know who Frank Bruni is (he is a writer for the New York Times), but this is a huge deal to me, because 1. he's a great writer, and 2. he's a great eater, which makes him a man after my own heart. It's strange to me that my book would ever even make its way into his hands, let alone that he would read it and say such nice things.
Now I just have to figure out how I am going to turn this into a friendship that will involve Sarah and I eating at all the best restaurants in New York with him.

Rated 4.3 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Shootah Impressive accuracy and penetration These pellets will easily penetrate a 3/4" pine board and more. These are an accurate pellet also. There is only one pellet I've saw out perform these in penetration. But, these pellets give you one of the better combinations of speed, accuracy, impact, and penetration. They bring a lot to the shooting experience. May 8, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5�by taxman CRIMINAL PELLETS I find these pellets accurate and dangerous. They will perforate materials that no other pellet does, incluting steel sheet metal (I use a high power .22 air rifle). For hunting rats and larger birds I thing they should be adequate, in case you want to break bones as well... Shoot them thru sheet metal and recover that front metal sphere you will see it remains intact while the lead is deformed. January 9, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5�by chubbs High velocity Good pellets for chipmunks and small game May 22, 2010

PLAYERS: Alan Pardew, Theo Walcott, Lukas Podolski, Edgar Davids
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew claimed his side simply ran out of steam as they were battered 7-3 by Arsenal in a thrilling clash at the Emirates Stadium. Theo Walcott grabbed a hat-trick as Arsenal beat Newcastle in a 10-goal epic that sent them to fifth in the Premier League. Arsenal led three times through goals from Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Lukas Podolski, but were pegged back on each occasion by Demba Ba (2) and Sylvain Marveaux. But Walcott completed his hat-trick and substitute Olivier Giroud got a quickfire double to seal the win. "I thought when we got back to 3-3 we should have shut up shop," the Newcastle boss said. "The last 15-20 minutes was a fresh team against a tired team and perhaps a bit of inexperience on our bench resulted in the scoreline. "We're just so disappointed that we didn't get something out of it before then. "The goals we conceded before then were not, not good and that's been our problem. "For ...

Graduated from the Ethnography Department at the University of Warsaw. She defended her PhD thesis – Asymilacja Żydów w Królestwie Polskim 1864-1897 [The Question of the Assimilation of Jews in the Polish Kingdom, 1864 – 1897] written under the supervision of Professor Artur Eisenbach, at the Institute of History of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Her essay Wizerunek Żyda w polskiej kultyrze ludowej [The Image of the Jew in Polish Folk Culture] based on the Master's thesis, was published five times – among others in Jerusalem in English language version, and is used as an academic book for ethnology and sociology studies at a number of both Polish and foreign universities.
Ever since her studies Ms. Cała devoted her work to study Polis-Jewish relations, including the issues of anti-Semitism in Poland in the 19thand 20thcentury. Her latest work on this topic, where she elaborates on the question of anti-Semitism up to recent years, is to be published soon.

A week from Saturday, the Norwich and Castleton football teams kick off the regular season. The Cadets are at RPI while the Spartans visit Plymouth state, but November 16th is a game you really want to circle a game on the calendar. Norwich visits Castleton in the 5th annual maple sap bucket game on the final day of the regular season. The Spartans got their first ever win over the Cadets last season, but that was early on in the year. Having this game at the end of the schedule means this rivalry game could be worth a conference title as well as the Maple Sap Bucket. Norwich is picked to finish second in the NEFC preseason poll. Castleton is picked to finish fourth.

Translating Data Into Information that Changes Us
Wondering what statistics is for? This is what.
Data are a whole lot of meaningful patterns. We can generate data indefinitely, we can exchange data forever... we can store data, retrieve data and file them away. All this is great fun and maybe useful, maybe lucrative, but we have to ask why. The purpose is regulation and that means translating data into information. Information is what changes us. My purpose is to effect change - to impart information.
Platform for Change by Stafford Beer
7 Comments
This doesn't seem to be a book about statistics (at least in any meaningful way), just looks like a platform for the author to talk about his pet causes, whatever they may be.
In any event, I would argue that statistics doesn't "translate" data into information, but rather extracts information already contained in the data.
I think that's not a bad interpretation at all and for the most part I think I would agree with it. Data is in essence a form of statistic, or perhaps that may be the other way around. Regardless, from data or statistics comes human interpretation, visualization, or a level of conceptualization which brings about an idea. Not sure if I am oversimplifying…
it's definitely not a statistics book, but i still liked the quote, taken out of context or not :)
"The purpose is regulation and that means translating data into information. Information is what changes us."
Even if I dislike the term "translate", from a designer/data visualization point of view I found this quote very clever. Thanks for the reminder.
Nice quote.
So the question remains, how do we go about "turning data into information"? I think one key ingredient that is often missing in data visualizations is a meaningful background so that the data in the foreground has a frame of reference.
I recently went to Design and the Elastic Mind at MoMA and like you, I was also most excited by the data visualization portion of the exhibit. I left feeling reaffirmed that it's only a matter of time before visualizations become a mainstream way of exploring and absorbing information.
It's interesting however, that the 2 examples you called out in your post about the exhibit weremap and time-based visualizations.
I often feel a tinge of disappointment with visualizations that aren't grounded in space or time. They always feel harder to penetrate and therefore less engaging. "There sure are lots of complex relationships going on here," I think to myself. I'm mesmerized for a few moments by its elegance, but eventually I walk away, unsure of what *information* I was supposed to get out of it.
Visualizations grounded in maps, timelines and calendars on the other hand, always draw me in because the semantic-rich backdrop gives me an easy way to start parsing patterns in the data.
Without this kind of context, it's difficult to get started on querying the visualization. There are too many axes to take into consideration, where do I begin?
This is not to say that time and space are the only interesting axes with which to build a frame of reference. On the contrary, I wish I knew of more examples of data visualizations that are not built on maps or timelines, and yet are grounded in a semantic space.
I pulled together images of 8 of the visualizations from the exhibit. I'm curious to get other people's reactions on which ones are most immediately engaging.
so i know a little about stafford beer. he was a cyberneticist, specializing in management science. among his many claims to fame is his design of a cybernetic system to transition chile to socialism (at the request of allende's govt).
this quote is cute in part because he's taking a nonstandard view of "information." that is, shannon defined information w/o thinking about the meaning of messages. by reintroducing meaning into the definition of information, he was doing something interesting. but it doesn't come across in an isolated quote. kate hayles has a nice take on shannon in her books…
the image is also from beer; in "platform for change" he wrote a fair bit about how data should be collected from people… that the government was doing a sloppy job of it and it left people exposed to a host of abuses.
and yes, the book is a collection of his speeches and they are certainly eclectic. but he's a good read…
How come all books by cybernetics nerds cost $100 instead of $20? Is it something like Scientology — gotta pay to play?

Jessica Ridgeway: Her Accused Slayer Will be Charged as an Adult
Should the Suspect in the Jessica Ridgeway Case Be Tried as an Adult? [POLL]
17-year-old Austin Reed Sigg was arrested yesterday in the abduction and tragic murder of 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway. Last night we received even more details about what exactly Sigg did to Jessica Ridgeway after he kidnapper her approximately three weeks ago; these details were tough for us to even write due to their horrific nature. Legally Sigg is not an adult since he is only 17 years old. However, since the crime is so heinous, should he be tried as an adult. That is our web question of the day!
Gruesome Details Revealed In Jessica Ridgeway Murder Case [VIDEO]
I read this exclusive update about the Jessica Ridgeway murder from Fox 31 and was just disgusted. After arresting 17-year-old Austin Reed Sigg last night, police have released more and more disturbing details about Ridgeway's death.
Read on, but be warned that the details are very graphic.

Is Nasdaq to blame for Facebook's share price?
The WSJ has a good post-mortem on the Facebook fiasco today, pointing fingers very much at Nasdaq. And clearly Nasdaq was Ground Zero for the trading problems the day that Facebook went public. But this kind of thing smells fishy:
Some hedge-fund managers called Facebook's chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, because they hadn't received any trade confirmations from Nasdaq, says a person familiar with the phone calls. Some hedge-fund managers apologized to Ms. Sandberg and said they needed to sell their entire positions because of the confusion, the person added.
This clearly comes from Sandberg's office, if not Sandberg herself — and it sounds very much as though she's blaming Nasdaq for a lot of investors dumping Facebook shares on the opening day. If I were in her position, I'd do the same thing: it's a lot easier than finding fault with, say, Facebook's CFO, or blaming herself.
I don't doubt that Nasdaq glitches did take the wind out of the Facebook share price, if indeed it did open with a pop at $42. (The WSJ casts some doubt on that, quoting the head of electronic trading at Deutsche Bank as saying that it was "mathematically impossible" to come up with a $42 figure if the cross had been calculated with all of the orders put in.) But with hindsight, and given the degree to which Facebook shares have slumped in the last three weeks and not bounced back at all, any problems at Nasdaq simply hastened a fall in price that was surely inevitable.
None of which is to exonerate Nasdaq at all. The WSJ article ends with a perspicacious quote from Joseph Cohn, a retail investor in New York state:
"My experience on that day is that the markets aren't built to handle failure," he said. "With technology, you're able to accomplish a lot more, but when it fails, it fails miserably."
This I think is what the SEC's Mary Schapiro is talking about when she says that the Facebook IPO was reminiscent of the May 2010 flash crash. The US stock market, when it works, works fine. But it's not robust at all; it's certainly not what Nassim Taleb would call "anti-fragile". That's why Nasdaq did so much testing of their systems before the IPO: they knew that if the systems failed, the outcome could be horrible. As, in fact, it was.
IPOs are a particularly hard task for stock exchanges, as we saw first with the BATS IPO and now with Facebook. Normally, any given trade happens at a price very close to the previous trade — but in an IPO, no one really has a clue what the price should be, and demand can appear and dissipate much more quickly than we see in the normal course of secondary-market trading. Momentum traders rule, and value investors know that the best thing they can do is wait patiently until things quiet down. As a result, once Facebook stock started falling and the supportive bid from the underwriters went away, there was basically no bid any more. Hence the fact that it's now trading more than $10 below the IPO price.
On the other hand, the stock genuinely has stabilized in recent sessions, trading in a narrow band between $26 and $28 for more than a week now. That's a pretty good sign that the market has worked out what Facebook is worth — and there's no reason at all to believe that there were multiple equilibria here, and that if the IPO had gone better then we might have had a similar week-long stretch of trading between, say, $42 and $44 per share. Sandberg should probably call up her ex-boss Larry Summers if she really believes that. It might be a comforting unfalsifiable thought, but it's still untrue.
Fits – that whole FB crowd is just 'déclassé'.
"…the stock genuinely has stabilized in recent sessions, trading in a narrow band between $26 and $28 for more than a week now."
"genuinely"??… "more than a week now"…
Wow, I'm impressed!
Social proof is a powerful thing and the price is set by the marginal buyer, it doesn't necessarily take that many mo-mos to take it up, and shaking them out can have a big effect on price. In the long run of course, earnings and growth are what's going to matter, but the long run isn't here yet.
Also, Summers is a smart guy, but I certainly wouldn't take his advice on stocks… the market invariably humbles know-it-alls. As far as he was concerned, derivatives, leverage and deregulation were just great and bankers' rational self-interest would keep them out of trouble.

Miss America is on her way back home – to Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.
The pageant was always a mainstay in Atlantic City until it was moved to Las Vegas in 2006.
After eight years of crowning a new Miss America on the Strip, the pageant returns to where it was born, more than 90 years ago.
According to the Press of Atlantic City, Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno announced that Miss America will return for a three-year run televised on ABC and at located at Boardwalk Hall - the pageant's birth place - and that financial terms are not yet set.
The event is set to take place Sept. 15 and a parade is expected to precede the pageant.
The pageant originally left for the bigger adult playground over financial issues. Years of declining viewership forced ABC to cut the program from its network when it couldn't get the budget from Atlantic City.
The program only went back to ABC in January 2013, but was only contracted for this year's pageant. The Miss America Organization's contract with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and Planet Hollywood expired this year, according to The Press.
A return to the East Coast is exactly what Atlantic City needs after Hurricane Sandy tore through the Jersey Shore.
The Miss America pageant began as little more than a bathing suit revue, but turned into the giant showcase it is today and is one of the country's largest scholarship programs available. But competition only gets tighter each year.
According to its website, "Miss America represents the highest ideals. She is a real combination of beauty, grace, and intelligence, artistic and refined. She is a type which the American Girl might well emulate."
It also requires you to look like a supermodel in a bathing suit.
After a surge of reality shows hit the airwaves, women in bathing suits – or not in them – wasn't hard to find anymore, which may have led to the decline in viewers.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--When David Evans walked out of the theater in 2008 after watching the hit movie "Fireproof," he had a thought that many would have quickly dismissed -- "I wonder if my church, too, can make a film."
Fireproof, after all, was made by Sherwood Baptist Church, a congregation that also made the 2006 surprise hit "Facing the Giants."
This weekend, Evans' dream will hit the big screen when "The Grace Card" -- made largely by volunteers from Calvary Church, a Nazarene congregation in Memphis -- is released. It apparently is the first church-based, nationwide theatrical release inspired directly by Sherwood's films.
I watched a screener of it, and it is impressive. The acting is as good as that in Fireproof, and the story, which spotlights the racial tension between a white cop and a black cop, is gripping. With the exception of Louis Gossett Jr., you probably haven't heard of any of the actors, but you likely will walk away impressed. Sure, there are things I would have changed in the film, but that's true in just about any movie.
It is part of a growing church-based film-making movement that started at Sherwood, a Southern Baptist congregation in Albany, Ga. (Sherwood's next film, "Courageous," will be released in September.)
Evans -- an optometrist who directs Calvary's yearly passion play -- studied and essentially copied Sherwood's model for movie-making. (No need "to re-invent the wheel," he said.) He relied on a largely all-volunteer cast and crew, mixing in a few professionals who were paid. He asked the cast and crew about their faith and accepted only Christians who were committed to the project.
Provident Films, the same company that released Fireproof, is handling The Grace Card.
"People are really hungry for movies that inspire them, movies that have a message," Evans, a graduate of Southwest Baptist University, told Baptist Press. "I call it entertainment with a purpose. You don't want people to come to theaters and feel like you're forcing medicine down their throat, so we're very careful at what points we place our message. There has to be entertainment, but we want people to walk out of the theater saying, 'I'm not extending grace like I need to. I am not forgiving people like I need to.' ... It's a niche that's evolving that was started by Sherwood, and I think other people are realizing that there's a demand for this caliber of wholesome, faith-based entertainment with a purpose."
Evans estimates that volunteers contributed about 15,000 total hours to the project. Other churches helped as well, with about 50 congregations in the area sending members to the auditions. It was filmed in 30 days and received help from the Memphis Police Department.
He is a movie buff, but his only major experience in directing was with the church's passion play, which he launched about 15 years ago but which grew each year -- with more animals and more cast added each spring -- to the point that the combined cast and crew now tops 250 people. Preparation begins three months out. Every year, he writes a script set in modern times that is woven in with the biblical story. One of those scripts became the basis for The Grace Card.
Already, he says, the movie has had an impact on people who have watched screenings across the nation. The film spotlights "Mac," a white cop who struggles with racism and gets paired up with a black cop, "Sam," a bivocational preacher.
"We've heard many people say, 'Our son is just like that guy' or kids say, 'My dad is just like Mac in the movie. He's angry at everybody and blames everything on other races.' I believe it will help relationships across the country, as we're already hearing from the screenings. So many movies today don't have a clear message, and if there is a message in the movie, it's often not one that we want to promote to our children or churches.
"... Oftentimes, if people will just extend a hand of grace as we give a few examples of that in the movie, it can make significant changes. Our prayer is that it will have an impact on people across our country, and even other countries. Feelings of hate and resentment are universal."

Music App of the Day: Tie Tunes To Location With Sounddropper
When I was walking through Times Square today, listening to the Ramones's "I Wanna Be Sedated," I couldn't help but think how perfectly that jam fit the locale. Too bad I had not yet discovered Sounddropper.
Sounddropper is a brand new iOS app that allows you to tag locations with songs and surf through the tagged songs of other users. The app plugs right into your Soundcloud account, allowing you to use songs that you find on the site, as well as songs that you yourself may have composed (aspiring musicians take note — this here is some guerrilla marketing).
The app has two modes: "Drop" and "Discover." (See above for what "Drop" means.) The "Discover" mode takes you into a stream of songs other users dropped on spots, allowing you to listen to location-tied music as you amble through an urban environment.
Since the app just dropped today, there are no other songs (aside from the one I dropped) in my immediate vicinity, but I'm stoked to test it out in a few weeks when more people have downloaded the app.
Location-based music apps are gaining more steam of late: One of my favorite apps, Soundtracking is like Instagram for music, letting users tag a song to a location, complete with a photo. Then there's creations like The National Mall, an app from the band Bluebrain that comprises an album that can only be listened to while walking around the Washington, D.C., landmark. Sounddropper seems to be somewhere between these two offerings.
