The cost of mockery in Australian politics
By blue milk on March 2, 2013
Prime Minister Gillard's looks would be irrelevant except that everything about her, including her appearance, has been represented in the media in such an incredibly hostile manner that you'll be genuinely taken aback when you meet her. And it's depressing, as a woman, to see this for yourself – the contrast between the Prime Minister as she appears, in person, and how you think she looks based on her appearance in the media.

Toxic culture in university colleges
By tigtog on November 4, 2012
A 2009 post from Mary (almost exactly three years ago) is getting a lot of hits today, and I'm deducing that it's because of searching on St Johns college at the University of Sydney due to this SMH story: Culture of anarchy at a college in crisis.

On A Woman Choosing Not To Date A Geek
By tigtog on September 4, 2011
[TW for violently abusive language towards a woman] For those who haven't come across this story, it starts when a man and a woman in New York came across each other on the OKCupid dating website and went out twice, were each less than enthralled with the other, and moved on. So far, so ordinary.

Big Brother UK Season 10 is well underway. I'll be posting the odd BB clip to illustrate common conversations and issues, as a discussion trigger.

Big Brother Friday Fauxpology: Mo's been in the headmaster's office before, hasn't he?
By Lauredhel on August 15, 2008
Just thought I'd revisit Big Brother UK with a little "Oh no he didn't!" post.
As clip one begins, Mikey, the blind cross-dressing Scotsman radio dude, has just had his hair shaved off as part of a task. The task involved the housemates cutting or clipping their hair such that the combined hair filled a flask to the top.
[Transcripts/summaries of clips are at the bottom of the post.]
I'm guessing Mo would justify this action, outside the house, as being just him, paragon of equalism, treating everyone equally badly. You can sure tell that he's been in that hot chair before, and knows exactly the script to follow, though he still stumbles over it. It grates.

Misogyny hurting men
By tigtog on April 2, 2008
Here's an example of misogyny hurting men — because the ultimate put-down of a man is to equate him to a woman. If we fight [for] the idea that being a woman is not something to be sneered at, we not only raise women, but we deprive bullies of one of the most powerful weapons […]

Daria and other rebels
By tigtog on December 4, 2007
In comments to Lauredhel's post about the princessification of Dora the Explorer, Helen and I have been discussing other animated girl characters whom we enjoy. We're both fans of Daria, whom Helen epitomises beautifully as "dry as dust". Daria is enduring high school until she can get away to further studies outside her conformist suburban community.

As Chris mentioned in his recap of the Braves first win of the season, Tomahawk Take will try to give you a different perspective of a game recap instead of the normal, boring, redundant recap you get elsewhere.
In the first of 19 games against the Washington Nationals in 2014, the Atlanta Braves were victorious. The Braves have now won three straight games and have improved their record to 3-1 in this young season.
To use the words of Peter Griffin, things on Friday that "grinds my gears"
The Uptons, the Uptons, the Uptons and oh, the Uptons.
If you've watched any game, or pretty much any inning of 2014, you've probably noticed either Justin Upton or B.J. Upton strolling slowly back to the dugout after another strikeout. They both seem to have that deer in the headlight look on their faces and they both look up at the screens like did that just happen?!?
How would I know the #UptonLook? Well because I've watched it 16 times!!
Yes, you read that correctly, the Upton's have a combined total of 16 strikeouts in four games!! The brothers have more K's than the entire Texas Rangers, Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals entire TEAMS!
Today they totaled six strikeouts, three between the both of them, and a combined 0-8 with six runners left on base (three each). Justin's batting average after today's game is sitting at .067 while B.J.'s has a .063 batting average.
The play that made my remote going flying – this play came in the top of the 8th inning right after Jason Heyward drew a walk to start off the inning. Next up, the famous B.J. Upton. On four pitches, Upton walks back to the dugout.
I'll remind you if you didn't get the chance to watch or listen to the game. The matchup was tied 1-1 in the 8th inning when this happened.
With a runner on first base and B.J. struggling for over a year now can we please either bunt him or can he move the runner to second somehow!!!
Letting the frustrations get the best of me and for that I apologize because Freddie Freeman was up next and singled to move Heyward to third (would of scored if B.J. moved him over). And Chris Johnson came through with a sacrifice fly to right field. Braves up 2-1.
The times I did the Tomahawk Chop today – Evan Gattis with the leadoff homer off Nationals Jordan Zimmermann in the top of the 5th inning. On a 0-1 pitch, Gattis crushes one to put the Braves up 1-0.
Great to see Evan get a hold of a ball since his other at bats he's been taking swings that were very questionable. Only his second hit of the season but Gattis is playing great behind the plate.
Another time I chopped was in the 8th inning (we kinda covered this already) when the Nationals put in Tyler Clippard.
Once I saw him on the field, I first chuckled a little and then chopped on! The Braves destroyed this guy last year, pretty much ever time we saw him and once again we were able to get another run off of him.
Clippard took the loss for the Nationals while Luis Avilan got the win for the Braves.
Craig Kimbrel came in for the 9th inning and got the first two batters on K's and then a pop out to finish the game.
Small note, David Hale pitched extremely well for his first start of the season. He went five innings giving up only five hits, two walks and didn't give up a run.

Edited using the Horror Blue filter.
The Colour Look up mode is maybe THE most amazing new thing that Adobe have put in to the Creative Cloud for a long time. If you are looking to make some funky colours or just minor subtle adjustments, look no more!! This is pretty much the only way I do things these days. I used to use this rather fun, but complex duotone method.. but.. thank you Adobe !! You have saved me hours and hours
The draw back – is that you can not create your own filters… at the moment…. in an easy way. If you have CC and you have SpeedGrade, you can make your own. It is tricky but do able. The last couple of images are custom files that I have created for clients to match exact needs. Also… for the developers – as someone points on on Kost's blog. There are some things about CYMK & 3dLUT's and TGA files. For the most part, most people reading this will be blown away with that comes as standard in the program and don't forget you can use these as smart objects, and in all the layer blend modes etc… Enjoy !
Julieanne says'
Historically, LUTs have been used primarily by the film industry as they're an excellent way to apply color adjustments from one application in another application that may not share the same math. For instance, a film workflow may involve 6 different compositing and rendering applications — some with good color adjustments and some without. If they create one 3DLUT that contains all of their adjustments, then they can use that LUT in all the applications to get their desired look. In the film and video industry, they may have LUTs for source normalization, scene color correction, creative color appearance and output simulation.
This video from the Adobe Channel says pretty much all I could say and way better than I could ! Thank you Julieanne !
The concept of the Look Up mode is something taken over from the film industry and plugged into Photoshop for all you lucky people to have a place about with.
On here you can see a few examples I have created and used for some beauty images, There are also some screen shots of the open layers and a little cool animation gif, as I am trying to be trendy.
In a nut shell, Colour Look up mode is totally amazing and reworked my entire workflow, yet as I ask around, not many people are using it !!

First-line treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia: role of alemtuzumab
Authors Carmen Diana Schweighofer, Clemens-Martin Wendtner

Abstract: The CD52-targeting antibody alemtuzumab is established in clinical practice with convincing activity in relapsed and refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), particularly in patients with high-risk features and adverse prognosis. In the CAM307 study alemtuzumab was tested and finally approved as a first-line single agent, even though the hurdle with chlorambucil as the contender was not set very high. Within clinical trials, the drug demonstrated an excellent ability to eliminate minimal residual disease in blood and bone marrow, which has been correlated with a corresponding survival advantage in patients. However, in the maintenance setting, infectious complications due to severe T cell suppression have been highlighted and do not allow clinicans to use alemtuzumab outside of clinical trials. This review discusses potential therapeutic niches and future applications of alemtuzumab with a focus on CLL front-line treatment.
Keywords: CLL, alemtuzumab, Campath, front-line, first-line treatment

A ridiculously generous standalone game, bursting with unique content. [Nov 2010, p.116]
It seems a bit odd still that this is an XBLA title, though for 400 Microsoft points, Achievements and a prequel to the sequel, this is most certainly worth the extra change and will provide countless hours of entertainment in zombie slaying and re-playability.
Looking past the demo complaint, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero is more like a pre-release DLC, helping to bridge the gap between the two main installments with an enthralling story, and provides enough zombie skull-bashing that'll keep even the most sadistic of us pleased for hours to come.
Dead Rising 2: Case 0 is remarkable for being a downloadable sample of a game coming to retail in a month. It is a fresh concept, as it is not a demo, but it seems its objective is just to show what Dead Rising 2 is going to offer. The story closes in a reasonably good way, although it does so in order to be linked with the story of the main game, which of course may not be liked by part of the public.
Dead Rising 2: Case Zero does a great job of rekindling memories of the first game while paving the way for the upcoming sequel.
Dead Rising 2: Case Zero does a good job of filling the gap between Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2, and should be considered a must have for anyone interested in the sequel.

Sep 14, 2010Value for dollar you get so much here that it would be a shame to pass it up if you were a Dead Rising fan. I've payed 1200 points for games that last 1/4 as long and that weren't nearly as good either. Best game on XBLA, for sure.… Expand
Jan 16, 2013This is a $5 trial for Dead Rising 2, but it's well worth the price tag. The game gives you access to 10 of the retail games build-able weapons and a story that shows the beginning of the drastic change in Chucks's life that results from the Zombie outbreak he is fleeing from. While the game takes place maybe 2 years before the retail game, it is a short glimpse at what is to come for both Chuck and the player. If you like this then there is no reason not to grab DR2.… Expand
Sep 4, 2010For five dollars, you get to make Darth Maul like paddle chainsaws, which are awesome and corny at the same time, but mostly awesome. You also get to cleave hundreds of zombies with Broadswords, and smash them with nail covered bats. Not much of a plot, but gets you acquainted with the controls, gives your character a boost in stats, and serves as a great hook.
For five dollars, you can get a large slice of cheese pizza and a small soda.
I choose the zombie killing.… Expand
Sep 16, 2010Dead Rising: Case Zero is short, but sweet, wetting your apatite ready for the full game release sometime next month. Here we see new character 'Chuck Greene' take to the stage as we're given a small taste of what Dead Rising 2 has to offer. There are still problems; the time limit is as tight as ever and survivor AI is still not 100% up-to-scratch, but regardless, for 400MS points, you can't ask for much more. Zombies are everywhere, just waiting to be killed with the plentiful of weapons lying around. Objects are combinable (which serves as Chuck's main gimmick throughout Dead Rising 2), survivors need saving and there's even an exclusive boss fight with new psychopath, 'Jed.' People may complain what we're getting here is a charged demo, though with exclusive characters, missions and environments not to be found in the final game, it's certainly worth the asking price. Besides, for those unsure there's always the trial.… Expand
Sep 1, 2010Meet Chuck Greene. He's trying to save his daughter from being infected, among other things. He has to go to point A and bring item back to point B. Also rescue people, because he's a nice guy.
That's the story. The prologue's story sucks, I'll admit. The added 4 endings, with one "True" ending is nice, but whatever.
Buy this game now though because it is FUN.
Take Dead Rising 1. Give you 1/10th the time limit. Give you the same amount of weapons PLUS weapon combos. Insert thousands of zombies. You have to add and subtract here and there, but you end up with one solid game.
Seriously, this game is better than a demo, because it gives you a full case (level) to play through, and you can carry over progress. It gives you 200 more achievement points, some extra backstory, and hours of replayability. I can play through this entire game in one sitting nice and quick and then go do something else. Perfect to show a friend
If you like zombie stuff, this game's worth the 5 dollars. Let's compare it to critically acclaimed game "Limbo". 1/3 the price. Same 200 achievement points. Limbo is maybe twice as long on your first playthrough (whereas you get better when you know where you'll die and the game gets quicker). Limbo is linear, whereas DR2 has multiple endings and a sanboxy enough feel to just go about finding new ways to kill zombies.
If you can buy any of the Summer of Arcade games this summer, then you can definitely afford this. Stop whining that it's a glorified demo. It's awesome. Buy it. Go make your Electric Rake and have some fun.… Expand
Sep 2, 2010Dead Rising: Case Zero is a strange beast, while many are arguing it is a demo you have to pay for, while I can understand this argument, it is a stand alone prologue to Dead Rising 2 with achievements, and a whole independent storyline setting up for the full game release. I thoroughly enjoyed Case Zero. It is meant to be played through multiple times which is fine as it only lasts 2 hours and you can do different things during each playthrough. The time limit your first play through it brutal, once you are familiar with the town and objectives it is easy to achieve every objective in one play through (I did on my second). The gameplay is almost the exact of the original dead rising with a improvements, the graphics leave something to be desired but this in an "arcade" release. The new weapons are fun, and the item combo system while limited is fun. Picking up a broadsword and just hacking through masses of zombies never gets old. There are some mediocre platform elements (climbing up to roofs) but not enough to ruin the game. There are multiple endings, and easy achievements to boot. Overall this game is a good set up for the full retail Dead Rising 2 this month, however it is limited, but well worth the $5.… Expand
Nov 9, 2010I'm sorry, but the producers/developers obviously seem intent on ruining another dead rising.
Why do Psychopaths battles have to be in this game? It makes no sense how they can withstand 30 sniper rounds to the chest. Its extremely unsatisfying having so much fun only to have the inevitable random lunatic turn up and make you want to pull your hair out - Why can he me from so far away with a shotgun when I can't shoot enemies from the same distance? Magic shells? If you're going to put in these bosses, make them monsters or something, at least then it might make sense why they are so powerful.
Also, why can't the survivors actually speak when you approach them, instead of sifting through text while zombies limber up behind you? Is that supposed to make the game more challenging, well if the challenge is for me to smash my xbox off the wall then they have exceeded. Thoroughly irritating.
Underneath these problems lies a great game - its hard not enjoy yourself with so much variety (limited in case zero, but its only 400msp) and is as much fun as any zombie fan could ever ask for. Its just such a pity they spoiled it.… Expand

Petrol prices push inflation to highest since April 2012
Consumer price inflation 2.9% higher than the same month last year, with upward pressure from fuel and clothing prices
Inflation in the UK has risen to its highest level for more than a year, putting a further squeeze on workers struggling with stagnant wages.
The rise in headline inflation to 2.9% will also pose a challenge for new Bank of England governor Mark Carney and his fellow policymakers as they look for ways to boost Britain's fragile recovery while keeping a lid on living costs. Still, the rate was not as high as the 3% forecast by economists and was well below the 3.1% level that would have forced Carney to write an explanatory open letter to chancellor George Osborne.
Economists warned persistently high inflation would dampen optimism about Britain's economic prospects following some recent upbeat news.
"There are growing signs of the UK recovery gaining momentum, with the economy set for strong growth in the second quarter and companies reporting the brightest outlook for the year ahead since the financial crisis struck, but inflation clearly remains the UK's bugbear and calls into question just how long this strong growth can persist for," said Chris Williamson, chief economist at data specialists Markit.
"High prices look set to continue to erode spending power, curbing the overall pace of economic growth."
The Office for National Statistics said its consumer prices measure, based on a basket of goods and services, slipped 0.2% in June from May. But compared with a year ago they were up 2.9%, the highest annual inflation since April 2012. The biggest upward pressure came from petrol and diesel prices, which both rose by around a penny this June but fell in June 2012. There was also upward pressure from clothing prices after summer sales this year did not bring as many discounts as in 2012.
The retail price index measure of inflation, used as the benchmark for many pay deals, rose to 3.3% from 3.1% in May.
Both rates of inflation markedly outstrip average UK pay growth of 1.3%, meaning real wages continue to fall.
But the Treasury welcomed the fact consumer price inflation has eased from the high hit in September 2008.
A spokesman said: "Inflation is down significantly from its peak of 5.2%. At the same time, to help families with the cost of living, the government has: increased the tax-free personal allowance to £10,000, which will take 2.4 million people out of income tax altogether and save a typical basic rate taxpayer almost £600; and frozen fuel duty which has kept petrol prices 13 pence per litre lower than they would otherwise have been."
But Labour's shadow Treasury minister Catherine McKinnell argued that after inflation, wages are down by an average of more than £1,300 since the coalition came to power.
"With prices now rising much faster than wages the cost of living crisis is getting worse. Despite all the complacent claims from ministers about the economy, these figures show that for ordinary people life is getting harder under David Cameron's government," she said.
The ONS published separate data alongside the inflation showing factory gate inflation was higher than expected in June. The prices charged by manufacturers were up 2% on the year compared with forecasts for 1.9% and ewith 1.2% in May. That came as their costs, or input prices, rose an annual 4.2%, the biggest increase for more than a year.
Economists said those numbers and a rise in the core rate of consumer price inflation, which excludes erratic items such as fuel, would raise concerns among BoE policymakers about the potential for inflation to rise further still. Bank policymakers have made it clear, however, that they will take a flexible approach to inflation targeting if the broader economic picture requires it. That potentially paves the way for more quantitative easing – pumping cash into the economy by buying bonds from financial institutions – despite above-target inflation.

This was the rough beginning of a conceptual framework designed to identify the relevant variables and to hypothesize their interrelationships. Cross delineated some common elements of earlier participation models for COR: motivation to participate is the result of an individualÆs perception of both positive and negative forces; personality types with low self-esteem are difficult to attract to education; congruence exists between participation and anticipation of learning outcomes; lower order needs for safety and security must be met before higher order needs for achievement and self-actualization can be met; expectations of reward are important to motivation.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow..
Hello there!
Tomorrow marks the end of previews and the odd event that is press night. I can't remember who said this but, apparently, to look at the record of theatre history is really just to view one long list of press nights with the actual run and life of a play completely forgotten about. So in that vein, I'm just thinking about tomorrow as just another night in a run of many. But the one good thing about press night is that it marks the end of significant changes to the show, no longer altering from night to night (or minute to minute as in technical rehearsals). During the previews, you have to be constantly thinking about your entrance that has just been changed or that cue that has altered or that scene has been cut; so I'm definitely looking forward to some stability.
The last ten days has been pretty manic to be honest. You rehearse and rehearse a show in the rehearsal space and then for some reason as soon as you get onto the stage all that preparation seems to fall by the wayside – well, in my case anyway. I'm pretty sure for the first couple days of tech I dithered around the stage like I'd had a few too many and screwing my face up in deep confusion trying to reconcile my dyslexic tendencies to invert my carefully drawn stage-plan of entrances and exits with the real-life 3D version.
The tech also brought up a few other points of difficulty, in particular for some of the slightly older members of the company. In order to get to the downstage entrances, you are required to type a number into a key-pad – an act of precision and dexterity that is not at all conducive to panic and mania that was the backstage of Dunsinane at that time. I can assure you 24 people covered in mud, in full medieval garb with swords, axes and branches using an electronic keypad to pass through a hallway is a seriously disconcerting image. In fact, it's caused certain members of the cast (not to name any names) so much trouble that their entrances and exits are now on the whole limited to upstage. The key-pad corridor is almost like our own Narnia as you'll lose actors down there for a good ten minutes with nobody knowing where they've got to but when they return it's with a face of sheer horror, sweaty brows and usually the line: "Um, Roxana, could I just enter from up there?" Things I've learnt this week: technology and actors – not a great combination (myself included).
As Hauk mentioned in the last post, the costumes and make-up in Dunsinane are pretty extreme (I won't spoil my own particular bodily deformity but all of my intervals are spent with an always bubbly lady called Sandra in a broom cupboard pouring hot wax-like gel on my back – not quite as sexy as it sounds..). And at one particular giddy moment of tech on Tuesday night last week (that's what 13hr days will do to you) the fire alarm went off in the middle of our fight call with all 24 of us in our extreme costumes and make-up, bloodied and armed to the nines, having to evacuate the building. At first we thought it was just a false alarm but as we heard the fire engines (extremely promptly) approaching Hampstead Theatre we thought it best to get out as quickly as possible. And as we- looking like a bedraggled group of leftovers from a particularly creative Stag party- approached Swiss Cottage tube station (the fire alarm meeting-point), Tony McGeever in an inspired moment, shouted: "See! I told you the time-machine would work!" Honestly, it could have been a scene straight out of Extras: us lot surrounded by rush-hour Finchley Road with a gaggle of people in the crowded sushi restaurant next to us looking genuinely worried that we were preparing for an 11th Century ambush to smuggle out hoards of shrimp tempura. You'll be happy to know that we all survived unscathed and live to tell the tale and, apparently, blog it too.
But so far there have been no major hiccups, and we've been extremely fortunate that our previews have been pretty much sold out. So I'm going to suggest you book before it's too late. You'll be able to recognise me as I'll be the only 11th century character with a laptop – blogging to you direct from the action itself.

In a voice vote, the Senate today confirmed Pamela Ki Mai Chen, a Brooklyn prosecutor, to the federal bench for a seat on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Chen is the first openly gay Asian American on the federal bench.
Chen is currently the chief of the civil rights section in the U.S. attorney's office for the Eastern District of New York, where she prosecutes and supervises cases involving hate crimes, color of law violations and human trafficking cases. The New York Chapter of the National Asian Pacific Islander Prosecutors Association lists her as a board member. Chen's parents were immigrants from China, Schumer said.
The Washington Blade adds:
Sen. Chuck Schumer, who recommended the nomination to Obama, praised the Senate for confirming Chen in a statement and said her background will serve her well on the federal bench.
"Ms. Chen's wealth of experience and devotion to public service make it clear that she will be an excellent judge," Schumer said. "Ms. Chen has proven time and again that she is a leader and a pioneer in the legal field. I have every confidence that she will serve her jurisdiction well."
Said Obama at the time of Chen's nomination: "I am proud to nominate this outstanding candidate to serve on the United States District Court bench. Pamela Chen has a long and distinguished record of service, and I am confident she will serve on the federal bench with distinction."

Although the national conversation about immigration policy tends to focus on Latinos, it is Asian-Americans who encounter some of the knottiest challenges facing immigrants and immigration reformers.
Of the five countries with the longest backlogs for visas, four are in Asia.
According to a report from the National Asian American Survey released earlier this week, Asian-Americans boast the highest proportion of foreign-born United States residents of any group — about 3 in 4 Asian-American adults were born outside the country — and Asia now accounts for the largest share of immigration to the U.S. What's more: There are an estimated 1.3 million unauthorized Asian immigrants in the U.S.
If you're trying to get a visa to legally enter the United States from an Asian country, you could be waiting for a very long time.
Today is Fred Korematsu Day.
FRED KOREMATSU (1/30/1919-3/20/2005) was a Japanese-American who resisted internment during World War II. The ACLU picked up his case as a way to challenge the legality of internment; Korematsu was charged and convicted of violating military orders.
Not until much later in his life was Korematsu's name cleared and his cause vindicated. After uncovering new evidence that reports from the FBI saying Japanese-Americans posed no threat had been suppressed, Korematsu's conviction was overturned.
In 1998, President Bill Clinton awarded him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, saying "In the long history of our country's constant search for justice, some names of ordinary citizens stand for millions of souls. Plessy, Brown, Parks…to that distinguished list, today we add the name of Fred Korematsu."
Late in life, Korematsu also spoke out against the U.S. government's practices at Guantanamo Bay and other sites, saying that if we learn anything from his story, it should be that imprisoning people without charge merely because they "look" like an enemy, and helped write amicus curiae briefs filed in cases against the federal government on behalf of U.S. citizens held at Guantanamo.

Just like Latinos, Asian Americans have family members, friends and neighbors who are without papers. It is estimated that 11 percent of all unauthorized people in the United States are Asians. Moreover, a majority of Asians are first-generation immigrants who are greatly affected by the inadequacies of our immigration system. Asian immigrants are among those who wait the longest — up to two decades — to be reunited with their loved ones because of immigration backlogs. Highly educated and skilled Asian immigrants can wait up to six years before earning green cards. Immigration is an Asian issue.
Connie S Chan, "Asian American Women and Adolescent Girls: Sexuality and Sexual Expression."
It's so weird finding a paragraph in your reading that essentially captures your entire adolescence.(via thatisnotfeminism)
(Source: , via fascinasians)
But any use of the term "Asian" should recognize that its meaningful existence is less than half a century old, and the identity it refers to is very much in beta — and working out the compatibility issues that come with a rapidly growing and wildly varied installed base.
Which means that there are many individuals of Asian descent in America who, if congratulated on the success of the "Asian community," will simply look blank. Not all Asians think alike. Not all Asians think they're "Asian." And not all Asians share the same values, the same opportunities and obstacles — or the same socioeconomic outcomes.
The communities that sit under the Asian umbrella comprise over two dozen ethnicities speaking over a hundred languages and dialects, with each population arriving in the U.S. at different times and under unique circumstances. It shouldn't be surprising, then, that Asian Americans have the widest income spread of any demographic group: Indian Americans have the highest per-capita income of any ethnic group in the U.S., at around $38,000; Hmong, the lowest, at around $11,000, with a full 27 percent living beneath the federal poverty line.
Yet the flattening effect of means and medians erases these distinctions, encouraging the trumpeting of the triumph of "Asians" in broad, paint-roller strokes. It's a major reason why the Pew Research Center's large, important and widely cited study of the Asian American population, titled "The Rise of Asian Americans," has generated such consternation among advocacy and service organizations.
While the data the Pew report offers is valuable, the sensationalist and nuance-free manner in which it has been promoted to the media has produced an avalanche of stories about how the Asian American community, powered by its work ethic, family values, prodigious overachievement, et cetera, serves as a blueprint for how other groups can eliminate need and attain success (overlooking the fact that the "rise" of Latin, Caribbean and African immigrants is easily as laudable as that of Asians).

Ming Na, who knows her way around a sci-fi (or medical) franchise, is now the second actor cast in Joss Whedon's "S.H.I.E.L.D" TV adaptation of Marvel's Avengers franchise, Deadline's Nellie Andreeva reports.
Read more about the news, which is sure to gladden the hearts of at least some Avengers fans, here: http://www.deadline.com/2012/10/ming-na-marvels-shield-casting-joss-whedon-abc-pilot/
What do you think of the casting? Someone you'd like to see on the show?
I'm always stunned by what fails to make the history books as important information that everyone should know. Props to Wikipedia for making it today's featured article.
I wonder where the futures of the Latino and Asian/Asian-American communities lie. Asian/Asian-Americans are still treated as perpetual foreigners despite our long history in America, and the U.S. has tried many times to boot us out…much as they are trying with the Latino community now. (United States v. Wong Kim Ark is under fresh scrutiny due to current politics.) I read somewhere that prior to the 1960s, Latinos were stereotyped as the model minority while Asian/Asian-Americans were stereotyped as the poor, grubby laundryworkers and manual laborers. It's funny how these threads intertwine…

I live in a really small, supra-majority white town where you might expect racist bullshit to be the norm, but I was pretty shocked to hear that up until this month, San Francisco's police department labeled the arrests they made as white, black, Chinese, or other. SERIOUSLY? Sorry I expected more of you, West Coast.
Up until this month, nearly all Asians were classified as "Chinese" in the San Francisco Police Department's outdated data entry system because the department only had four choices for noting the race of a person arrested: either white, black, other, or Chinese. After complaints from community leaders, the Bay Citizen reports that police officers started identifying people who are arrested using 18 ethnic categories from the California Department of Justice according to how people who are arrested identify. One local activist told the Bay Citizen that the incorrect data has likely led to a misallocation of city funds to fight crime by making the number of crimes committed by the Chinese American community appear higher, and it is unclear what will happen to the decades of incorrect data.
whoa! great job there, SF…

Gordon Kiyoshi Hirabayashi (平林潔), 2012 recipient of the Medal of Freedom. The medal was awarded posthumously Tuesday, May 29, five months after Hirabayashi's passing.
In a remarkable show of personal courage, Auburn native Gordon Hirabayashi was one of handful of Japanese Americans nationwide to defy U.S. government curfew and "evacuation" orders issued in 1942 (in the context of World War II) to persons of Japanese ancestry who lived on the West Coast. Hirabayashi considered the orders to be a gross violation of Constitutional rights. He was arrested, convicted, and imprisoned, and eventually appealed his case to the U.S. Supreme Court. Although the Supreme Court upheld his conviction at the time, the fight to overturn it resumed in the 1980s, culminating in his judicial vindication. After the war, Gordon Hirabayashi became a sociologist. He spent most of his career teaching at the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Canada. He died on January 2, 2012. [historylink.org]

The combination of levodopa and carbidopa is used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and Parkinson's-like symptoms that may develop after encephalitis (swelling of the brain) or injury to the nervous system caused by carbon monoxide poisoning or manganese poisoning. Parkinson's symptoms, including tremors (shaking), stiffness, and slowness of movement, are caused by a lack of dopamine, a natural substance usually found in the brain. Levodopa is in a class of medications called central nervous system agents. It works by being converted to dopamine in the brain. Carbidopa is in a class of medications called decarboxylase inhibitors. It works by preventing levodopa from being broken down before it reaches the brain. This allows for a lower dose of levodopa, which causes less nausea and vomiting. More info »

Galantamine is used to treat the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD; a brain disease that slowly destroys the memory and the ability to think, learn, communicate and handle daily activities). Galantamine is in a class of medications called acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. It works by increasing the amount of a certain natural substance in the brain that is needed for memory and thought. Galantamine may improve the ability to think and remember or slow the loss of these abilities in people who have AD. However, galantamine will not cure AD or prevent the loss of mental abilities at some time in the future. More info »
About This Data
ProPublica obtained prescribing data from Medicare's prescription drug benefit, known as Part D, under the Freedom of Information Act. The data for 2011 includes nearly 1.2 billion prescriptions written by 1.6 million doctors, nurses and other providers. This database lists about 364,000 of those providers who wrote 50 or more prescriptions for at least one drug that year. About three-fourths went to patients 65 and older; the rest were for disabled patients. Methodology »
- No comparisons are shown if 10 or fewer prescribers in the state share this specialty.
- The list of top drugs includes only those for which this provider wrote 50 or more prescriptions, but all prescriptions are counted in the summary totals at the top.
- The calculation of "Risky Drugs to Seniors" does not include drugs for which a provider wrote 11 or fewer prescriptions because Medicare redacted the information to protect patient privacy.
- Comparisons do not take into account the medical conditions of patients. Medications for certain conditions do not have generic alternatives, so patients would receive more expensive brand name drugs.
- This provider's address and specialty information was last updated on May 20, 2008.
- Comparisons are based on each provider's current address, not necessarily where he or she worked during the time period covered in this database.

I think your scale is broken
Either that or mine.
Im only a half pence when I weigh myself in,
or has the value changed over time.
Its like a rose thats been wilted, petals torn to shreds,
yet you still see beauty in a flower not quite dead.
My heart is confused
peeking through the wrong end of a looking glass,
through all the pain I cry
when I really should laugh.
The irony is just too much,
its nothing I can understand.
When the bullet goes to hit,
and I realize there's no gun in my hand.
Your holding back the hammer,
you look into my eyes.
I see a cold dark wall,
and something that almost resembles a shimmer of light.
It makes no sense to me,
how you can see the potential of a bad seed,
I'll never bloom into a tree,
but the way you look at me.
A half pence is just too much,
but you pay a bag of gold,
just to see me smile,
when will reality unfold.

Switching to SP, advantages?
Posted 14 April 2010 - 12:47 PM
We currently farm just over 1600 acres of hay in saskatchewan and use a 2008 16' MacDon A-30S pull type. I love the MacDon and how it runs in hay. We have demo'd disc bines but there are just too many rocks in our area to run them without significant breakage.
My main question is whether switching to an 18' SP is worth the expense. I have heard you can travel faster with them because of the better ride and seeing everything in front of the cab. Also does airbags on the back of swathers make a large difference? We would prefer sticking with MacDon, probably an M150 with A40D header but the NH8040 with air ride on back axle looks handy. Anyone have experience with either of these machines?

Posted 14 April 2010 - 11:50 PM
have fun, and good luck
Posted 15 April 2010 - 04:24 PM
I am really curious in knowing the ride on the machines. Do the actual tractor units run smoother because they are wider? We run a Case MXM120 and we can cut around 6 mph, i think the header itself could cut it faster but its just too rough in the field to get going any faster then that, even 1-2 mph faster would make a huge difference in acres in a day which some have said a SP could accomplish.
Yeah I agree with you see a lot of lease trade offs with 600-1000 hours and they look like good tractor units but it seems like the headers are usually in pretty rough shape.

Fields here have hundreds of gophers and badger hills in them. On our own land we poison and shoot them all we can and its a struggle to keep up with them. So on about 900 acres its not terrible. But on 5-800 acres of custom work their land is quit a bit rougher. I read about people cutting at 10 mph and I cannot even comprehend that. My head would be through the roof of the cab here haha.
For our land we level the gopher hills in spring with a 25' John Deere cultivator with angle iron shovels that floats on top and it has done a pretty decent job in the 4 years we have been running it.

Gentlemen, Start Your Engines. The late, great Formula 1 racer Phil Hill is poised to come back to life in the near future on book shelves and the silver screen. First up is "Limit", a book by Michael Cannell that chronicles the relationship between Hill and his Scuderia Ferrari teammate Wolfgang von Trips over the course of the 1961 F1 season. That season saw (spoiler alert!) Hill crowned World Champion and von Trips killed in crash at the penultimate Italian Grand Prix. But for those of us who are too A.D.D. to crack the spine of a book, the movie rights are already being acquired for big screen production.
The project is being spear-headed by Maguire Entertainment, the production company headed by Tobey Maguire of Spiderman fame, who is slated to take the wheel as the legendary Phil Hill. Screenwriters and producers are already being lined up, but no word on who would co-star as the ill-fated von Trips. Given all that goes into a major Hollywood production these days, don't expect The Limit, as the film will be billed, to come to a theater near you quite so soon, but when it does, we hope it'll be closer to McQueen's Le Mans than to Stallone's Driven.

Companies purchasing MSSP services must not think that doing so absolves them of internal responsibility, however. As a Forrester Research report on the topic notes, it's important to ensure that the right governance structures and IT processes are in place before outsourcing part of the security environment. "A messy environment will remain a messy environment—outsourcing won't magically resolve this.… As you build up the relationship, make sure you always retain authority over setting policy and other strategic functions," it states.
Companies should also ensure that providers meet all the contractual obligations in the service-level agreement. If failures occur, the client company should make sure it is entitled to compensation, such as a service credit from the MSSP.
Companies can learn more about MSSPs from a new report called Defined Categories of Service 2011, which was recently released by the Cloud Security Alliance. A major aim is to provide greater clarity on security-as-a-service offerings.
"Because [such services] take many forms, they have caused market confusion and complicated the selection process," the report states. The report describes particularly popular security service categories, including SIEM, data loss prevention, and Web security, as well as security assessments, encryption, and business continuity and disaster recovery.
In most cases, customers are satisfied with their relationships with security service providers, says Kavanagh. But some additional due diligence when seeking a provider could help bring even more business benefits.

Last weekend I needed to pick up a new memory card, so Devon Lawson & I headed over to our neighborhood Target to scoop one up. Moments after picking up the new card I shot these photos of him hopping through some strange architecture they had out front of the building.

Check out this Nissan car commercial Forest Parker, Matt Montoya, and myself rode in. We had a hard time grasping the concept of the shoot at first and had a good laugh after seeing the final product. It's been playing all over the place these last couple months, if you haven't already seen it, now you have.
Earlier today I had a moment to sit down and talk with "the people's champ" Devon Lawson about our upcoming trip to Japan. During our short conversation, he talked about how grateful he was to have this incredible opportunity, and how he mastered the art of elephant riding in the 2nd grade. He mentioned something about a basketball showdown he has lined up with Nao while we're out there. It's going to be a real clash of the titans as these two casanovas go head to head in a battle where the victor goes the spoils. We're flying out in the morning, so we'll see everyone out there soon.
It's official, with the help of Chrome Industries & Rinng, the homie Ed Wonka was able to do some last minute planning and is now going to come with us to Japan later this month. During our stay we'll be at Nine States Jam as well as doing a mini tour across the country. If you want to meet up with us while we're there, shoot me a message HERE and I'll keep you updated w/ our whereabouts. To everyone out in Japan, we'll see you in the next few days.
On August 21st Devon Lawson and I (Matt Reyes) are flying out to Japan with Seitaro Iki to take part in a couple of events and do a 9 State tour across the country. We'll be in Nagasaki at Koe Skatepark to ride in the Nine States Jam on August 25th 2013, and will be in Tokyo for the last few days of our trip. We're both real stoked to be a part of this and check out the Fixed Freestyle scene outside of our own backyard. If you live out in Japan and want to ride with us, shoot me a message HERE and we'll try to meet up sometime during our 2 week stay.
Jeff Dempler recently hooked up with the guys at Kali Protectives down in Morgan Hill, and got some riding in at their new backyard compound. Photographer Phillip Ritti was there to capture some of the action and sent over this sweet shot of Jeff hitting a table top off one of their ladder drops. Their setup reminds me a lot of the "WheelTalk Compound" from back in the day. Expect to see more from the Kali Compound in the near future. Photo Credit : Phil Ritti
Rinng is a newly emerging Fixed Freestyle parts company based out of Japan, and have been working with Mike Schmitt for some time now. He's been helping them out w/ product design and is now the US Team manager. I've been running their plastic pegs in the front for a while, and am real into the length of 4.6″ pegs. Makes it a lot easier to stay connected without slipping off. Be on the look out for more from Rinng.
Breezy Excursion and iMiNUSD came out with this collaboration T-shirt just in time for Ride + Style this year. I really dig the way the black and white tie dye came out. Who knew Jeff Dempler was such a model. Head over to ID, or pick one up online HERE.
