text: Troubled School Inspectors Slip Through State's Oversight 6:31 AM, Apr 10, 2011 Share Article As far as officials at the Rancho Santa Fe School District knew, Richard Vale had a reliable work history when they hired him in 2009 to inspect a top-to-bottom reconstruction of R. Roger Rowe Elementary and Middle School.The Division of the State Architect had approved Vale to inspect public school and community college projects in 2005, without ever checking his background. But Vale had been convicted of a felony in a construction safety case and fired from the inspector program in the city of Los Angeles.Prosecutors had in the early 1990s accused Vale of knowingly overlooking unsafe seismic anchors installed in the walls of numerous unreinforced masonry buildings throughout Los Angeles. He pleaded no contest to conspiracy to obstruct justice.Despite this, the state architect's office allowed Vale to monitor the $37 million Rancho Santa Fe job. Contractors built a new performing arts center, music room, and technology and science labs. They replaced old portable classrooms with two-story buildings revamping a campus now large enough for 850 students.The state architect's office in 2007 also approved Vale to inspect the $10 million construction of a new gym, locker room and swimming pool at Palo Verde College in Riverside County. And that same year, he worked as the welding inspector on a $2 million renovation project at Needles High School in San Bernardino County."If they let this guy through, what else is going on out there that we don't know about?" said Doug Devine, an inspector with the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, who assisted in the criminal investigation of Vale. "What other corners are they cutting? What other safety issues are being ignored?"Vale isn't the only school building inspector who has slipped through the state's loose system of oversight, a California Watch investigation has found.Nearly 300 inspectors have been cited by the state for work-related deficiencies. But at least two thirds were allowed to keep monitoring school construction jobs, a review of state performance ratings shows. For decades, the state kept these ratings confidential until California Watch fought for their release.Internal e-mails, project records and other documents show that multiple inspectors working on school construction jobs have been accused of filing false reports with state regulators and failing to show up during key moments of construction.Some inspectors missed safety defects that were later discovered by state field engineers.Inspectors overlooked unsafe wiring connections, unsecured anchor bolts, faulty framing, and flaws in steel frames that "could have resulted in extremely unsafe buildings," according to inspector performance ratings. One inspector working on an elementary school library missed a major detail considered critical for resisting seismic forces.Unlike standard construction projects, which use city or county inspectors, public school and community college building projects are monitored by a special network of 1,500 inspectors trained in the Field Act, California's landmark seismic safety law.School districts hire these inspectors. Field engineers, who work for the Division of the State Architect, supervise their work. Districts pay $70 to $100 an hour for the services of an inspector, and pay the state thousands of dollars for field engineers on each project.One Bay Area district paid the state architect's office nearly $6,000 for a field engineer who never showed up during the construction of a dozen elementary school buildings, records show.In an interview, acting State Architect Howard "Chip" Smith said there is "room for improvement" in the inspector oversight program, but he defended it as generally effective."The field engineers, by and large, know their inspectors and their territory," he said. "They work with them on a regular basis. They know their capabilities, strengths and weaknesses, and that has been predominantly how the system worked."But former state Assemblywoman Sally Lieber said the state architect's office lacks the will to discipline school inspectors and that compromises safety."There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that as we sit here today that there are situations going on where an inspector is pressured to approve something that they didn't," said Lieber, a Santa Clara County Democrat and frequent critic of Californias inspector programs. "Or a project is kept moving, when it really shouldn't be."The state has rated the performance of nearly 1,800 inspectors over the past three decades. Most received passing marks. But 297 inspectors were written up for poor performance. They either received "unsatisfactory" marks or were told their work needed improvement. California Watch found, at least 66 percent were approved for additional jobs.On 43 percent of the rating forms reviewed by California Watch, field engineers with the state architect's office stated they could not assess the performance of inspectors under their watch because of "insufficient contact."All of the Division of the State Architect's regional offices are missing rating files on active inspectors. The Los Angeles office has largely abandoned the practice of reviewing inspectors. It filed performance ratings on only a fraction of its projects.Smith, the acting state architect, downplayed the ratings' value."The rating form is simply a perfunctory role function at the end of the project," he said. "In the real world of interaction between DSA (the Division of the State Architect) and the inspectors, they are continuously rated through the entire process."The state has acknowledged the failure of its own field engineers to show up on worksites blaming its small staff and enormous workload. The state employs 25 field engineers who oversee more than 3,100 active building projects. Under the state's Field Act, public school and community college inspectors must provide continuous inspection, sometimes working eight hours a day to make sure the construction conforms to approved plans. The law requires inspectors to check things such as the size of bolts and the strength of concrete and steel.But the state has struggled to manage the workload of school inspectors.Consider the case of Wayne Edgin. In January 2009, a state field engineer gave Edgin an unsatisfactory grade on an inspection at Fischer Middle School in San Jose. The engineer noted that Edgin's work schedule was "excessive."That summer, the state architect's office denied approval to Edgin to inspect six additional projects because the office maintained it was more work than Edgin could adequately handle. Edgin worked the jobs anyway.Rather than discipline him, a regional manager with the state architect's office and other staff members met with Edgin to discuss his performance. Edgin signed a resolution agreeing to follow code requirements.A year later, the state discovered Edgin was in the early stages of inspecting nine projects at schools stretching across a 60-mile swath of the Bay Area. Five projects cost $5 million or more.In documents, the state architect's office noted one critical project where Edgin was needed full time, all day for at least a month a solar-power installation at two high schools in Morgan Hill.The state architect's office removed Edgin from three of the nine jobs. Edgin sued, saying the divisions judgment of "too much work" was arbitrary and unscientific. The complaint alleged he had lost $180,000 in potential income as a result.Edgin remains an active, certified inspector.In an interview, Edgin said he could have adequately inspected all nine of the school projects because the timing of construction on each varied. And he contended that the state architect's office had given him permission in 2009 to inspect multiple jobs."They've never been in the (construction) field," Edgin said about the state's field engineers. "They're structural engineers. I know how long it takes." Story Written By Erica Perez and Corey G.

Last year we wrote about how rival online scammer gangs had their botnets fighting each other by disabling trojans of competing botnets on their computers -- but it appears that some researchers have a different idea for creating a "good" botnet to fight the "bad" botnets being used for denial of service attacks (found via Slashdot). This is quite different than some older proposals to create "good worms" that go about automatically patching infected machines (which are wide open to abuse). Instead, the idea is rather creative. It involves setting up a distributed system of computers that effectively act as a way station for connect requests -- which then wait for the actual server to request the inbound requests. This prevents the server from being overloaded (though, I would imagine it could slow down access somewhat). Either way, it's nice to see efforts under way to stop such zombie botnets. Hopefully someone isn't sitting on a patent for such an idea and waiting to sue, like we've seen with other security measures.

Stupid, stupid Idea
One: Even if its working you are adding a lot of network traffic for something that may not work.
Two: What if your botnet gets compromised? Congratulations, you have a bigger problem now.
While it makes for interesting reading, its only a "good idea" if its a work of fiction for the entertainment value. The realities of getting this idea to even work correctly cripple the idea from the start.

RE: Stupid, stupid idea
One: Even if it's working you are adding a lot of network traffic for something that...is working?
And no, you're not really adding much network traffic -- and even so any additional traffic would just be O(1). You're simply distributing proxies to handle incoming requests -- it's technically not all that crazy sounding features that Just Work every day.
Two: this gripe has a bit more legitimacy complaint, but it applies equally to building and networking any equipment equally.
The bottom line is DDoS attacks are one of the few remaining achilles heels of web architecture. Technical solutions like the one proffered are not only possible, they damn well may be necessary should Russia light up its bot net again like it suspected to have done against Estonia.[ reply to this | link to this | view in thread ]

Re: Stupid, stupid Idea
Its easy to shoot something down, but it would be better if you could come up with an alternative suggestion...
You can't expect that everyone is computer savy enough to ensure that their computer does not become part of a botnet, so why not "police" the net for these types of threats?
I agree you are increasing traffic, but is that really an argument? Should we say that we leave criminals on the street because there is not enough cells to lock them up?
Them being taken over by the baddies is indeed a valid argument and it just means that counter measures need to be taken to deal with those cases.
(If the bad guys can take over the good guys, then why not the otherway around...)
We should not follow it blindly, since the good guys might not always have good intentions too... Think ads, internet behaviour etc. But it is a start to deal with this issue.[ reply to this | link to this | view in thread ]

Simple Fix...
What would be wrong with an ISP having an automated monitoring system that based on what triggered it would call for human review or a temporary "circuit break" on their Internet line? Just like driving a car on the public streets, there is a certain amount of responsibility that comes with driving your PC on the Internet. Just as police pull over cars that aren't driving safely...
Whether you agree or not, I know the answer to why ISPs won't do it. It would cost too much in resources to communicate with all their customers that are infected - it's cheaper for them to have bad traffic on their network then try and educate the end-user that their PC is infected, etc.

There are only two complete Die Frau ohne Schatten on the market. The Solti and the Sawallisch. It is fashionable to say that the Solti is the best. No, that is not true. Pascalnewman, a costumer from Amazon.com.
As Strauss' largest and most ambitious work, "Die Frau ohne Schatten" demands attention, even though it is one of his most problematic operas. It contains some of the composer's most stirring and sumptuous music, and its story is full of drama and roiling human passions – in fact, perhaps it is its surfeit of ideas and emotion and symbolism and intensity that makes it difficult to approach. Hugo von Hofmannsthal's heavily allegorical libretto was cobbled together from a variety of mythologies, yet he manages to humanize the characters so that they are not merely archetypes. Strauss' music is nearly relentlessly tumultuous, what some might call overwrought, yet he too makes us empathize with the characters. The key to making the gigantic, unwieldy opera into a cogent and balanced musical drama falls largely to the conductor, and Karl Böhm, leading the Vienna Philharmonic, is able give it the shape it needs to succeed in making believers of the audience. He is assisted by a first-rate cast, which more than rises to the composer's extravagant vocal and dramatic demands – the opera requires large voices able to convey larger-than-life personalities
Arthaus presents a rare document of an early nineties operatic highlight: the Japanese premiere of Wolfgang Sawallisch's last production at the Bavarian State Opera. The Company's tour of Nagoya and Tokyo in autumn 1992 under director and principal conductor Wolfgang Sawallisch was a particularly important event. Sawallisch was celebrating both the twenty-fifth anniversary of his first appearance as visiting guest conductor of the NHK Symphony Orchestra in Tokyo and his departure, after twenty-one years, from his two principal posts with the Bavarian State Opera in Munich. Sawallisch - an acclaimed interpreter of the music of Richard Strauss - chose Die Frau ohne Schatten to commemorate these anniversaries.

We are leaving Waterford and want to go thru the Knockmealdown Mtns. and Lismore. Would we have enough time to enjoy all three areas in one day? I don't want to spend the nite in Cork. I was looking for something near Coachford.
We are leaving Waterford and want to go thru the Knockmealdown Mtns. and Lismore. Would we have enough time to enjoy all three areas in one day? I don't want to spend the nite in Cork. I was looking for something near Coachford.
Depends on a lot of things. What time of year as length of days vary by up to 6 hours. What time would you be willing to set out from Waterford. What sort of day do you want to have - just driving and looking, or actually spending time in the places and relaxing and enjoying the scenery and atmosphere.
You can do what you suggest, but, personally, I think you could spend a really enjoyable day seeing Cashel, spending time on the Rock, a beautiful drive through the mountains stopping at some of the beauty spots, perhaps getting a little bit lost, and ending up at Lismore, seeing the Castle and staying the night around there. You would also have time to visit Cahir Castle and the Swiss cottage on this day, which is really worthwhile.
Of course, as I well know, holidays are all about compromise, so maybe it would be Cashel which would have to be left for another time.
Irishrover, we'll be there the second week of June. I'm looking at staying in Tower just to the west of Blarney. How do you feel about the Vee and the Knockmealdown Mtns? I can't find any info other than it's a nice drive. Can you also tell me how lond a drive it is from Tower (Cork) to Dingle our next stop. We're planning wo nite in Dingle. Thanks for the help.
flame, the drive through the Knockmealdown mountains from Lismore is really beautiful and the gardens at Lismore Castle are well worth a visit. However, if the day is misty or rainy you will not be able to see the great views from this road so maybe you could decide on the day what to do (the Vee or Cashel)?
For driving times you can look at www.aaroadwatch.ie. There is a Route Planning link. You can enter your location and then your destination and the link will give you an itinerary, the distance and driving times. The driving times do not account for traffic jams or roadworks so should be regarded as estimated. I just did this (Tower Village, Cork, to Dingle, Co. Kerry) and the driving time is given as 2.58 hours for 90.67 miles. I would reckon that 3.5 hours or a bit more might be more correct.
Clauds, you are a god-send! I look for your opinions on every search I do. Looking at a map just doesn't do me justice. Can you give me you best guess at the time from Waterford thru the Vee to Blarney. We do not wish to spend all waiting hours in the car! Thanks for the time frame from Tower to Dingle. May I ask which roads you travelled?
flame, I the driving time I gave you I got from the aaroadwatch link that I mentioned.
Right, I did this on the aaroadwatch site in sections. aaroadwatch reckons 49 mins from Waterford to Lismore, from Lismore to Clogheen (through the Knockmealdowns) and on to Mitchelstown 58 mins, from Mitchelstown to Blarney 47 mins. This would be a total driving time of 2 hours of 34 mins. I think this is totally unreasonable, you will have to account for traffic along the way (particularly in Mitchelstown). AND on a nice day you'll want to stop so plan for that as well.
All in all, if you leave early you should be able to do this and arrive in Blarney at a reasonable time.
Clauds, we want to go to the Cliffs of Moher can you suggest a place to stay after a long trip from Dingle. I was thinking Galway but may want to save it for another trip.
flame you can take a leisurely drive from dingle to the cliffs, it's about 140 miles and will be a great way to spend the day seeing the beauty between dingle and the cliffs.....there is a wonderful b&b on the cliffs road just before the doolin turn off called harbour view b&b....it is a wonderful b&b and doolin village is just about a mile from it....you will be able to get meals in doolin and hear some wonderful trad music....
The second week of June is the ideal time to be touring Ireland. It will be daylight until around 10.00 p.m. Of course, most of the buildings etc. will close around 6 or 7 but it will be you time to see plenty and still arrive at your nightly destination in the daylight.
wOw!!! I had no idea about the amount of daylight I'm getting every day. Thanks for the good news rover!! Now if I can get some places booked along the way. So, maybe I can do Cashell and make it to Blarney/Tower in one day. If we don't get to kiss the stone that day we can do the next morning before heading out to Dingle. Anyone have anything to say about Maranatha Country House in Tower? The Captain's House in Dingle?
We were going to do the voucher thing! HA! I'm not even to Ireland yet and I'm glad we're booking everything ourselves!!!!!
We always stay in the Captain's House in Dingle which is quite central, flame. We've also stayed in Bambury's which is about 5 minutes walk from the town. But there are many good B&Bs in Dingle that you won't have problems getting somewhere nice.

I think AOTC is the most underappreciated chapter in the SW saga. I think what hurt it was primarily was strange editing choices (including music - more so than even acting/dialogue). I remember seeing it in IMAX thinking that it worked better despite having some scenes removed. Anyway, to the good stuff. While it took me awhile to warm up to TPM (I still think it's too childish and small in scale to be a proper SW movie), I loved AoTC right away, starting with the mysterious, noire atmosphere (the reference to Blade Runner has been caught by many). While TPM only hints at things not being great in the Republic, the feeling of impending doom becomes really prominent here, enhanced by cinematography and music. When the clone armies and marching to war, you realize that it's all over for the Republic and our heroes. I now think that AOTC ending is probably the darkest of all SW movies: even ROTS has a glimpse of hope that lies with the twins. But after AOTC, everything will go downhill. It's also a very good middle chapter (better than Empire), continuing the themes from TPM and setting up ROTS. I've come across comments from some folks who claim AOTC doesn't bring much to the prequels and can be safely skipped on rewatching. I respectfully disagree. It's perfectly fine when you don't want to watch something you don't enjoy. But AOTC makes Anakin's fall in ROTS much more meaningful. AOTC is when Anakin's attachment issues, insecurity and even lust for power come to the forefront. He had dreams about his mother suffering, he failed to save her and he wants to find a way to stop people from dying. In ROTS, he's again afraid to lose the woman he loves and he's not going to let it happen to her too. The line about "stopping people from dying" might sound corny and even out of place until you realize that's actually not an impossibility in the Star Wars universe. There're more themes being developed, of course: Palpatine's continuing rise to power, Jedi's growing inability to deal with the Republic's decay, even slavery (yes, for all intents and purposes, the clones are slaves of the Republic, bred to be the canon fodder with repressed free will). Jedi seem too be as unconcerned with this glaring injustice as they're with slavery existing on Tatooine and other outlying planets (I assume). Serves them right to be blasted in ROTS - you can't expect loyalty from beings without true free will.
That's fantastic. Additionally, I always think the clouds show a devil-like creature (perhaps Baphomet) when Padmé and Anakin marry. It also illustrates where they both end up (hell of Mustafar). And look at how Anakin and Padmé stand in the shadow in the first shot, which perfectly indicates their future-life (hiding). It's just wonderful and sad that so many people ignore and don't appreciate visual moviemaking like this.
There's visual move-making and there's visual movie-making. I appreciate your "shadow" observation, but your cloud divination reads as an example of --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia
That's certainly possible. I mean, you can clearly identify some sort of horns and due to its position right behind the two lovers, I thought it could be intentional (it wouldn't be very challenging to erase some clouds digitally, I guess). In the end, I don't care if it's intentional or by accident since watching a movie is a completely subjective experience and I enjoy to see it that way ;-) .
To a large extent, these things are subjective, yes. However, I was a bit worried about you falling into a classic trap. If that pattern is there, for you, and works, for you, making the art better, for you, great. On the other hand, given that cloud formations are a prime candidate for pareidolia, I was just advising caution. A cloud is never just a cloud (i.e., think of all the physical processes that lie behind one, in the making of and the perceiving thereof), but also, a cloud doesn't especially signify anything, even though people have been beholden to the idea they do for thousands of years (that, in itself, should tell you something about human imagination: the nexus of hope, fear and credulity). Then again, this is art: not only can one can see in it what one likes and still not be categorically wrong, but art is (at least partially) designed: a witches' brew of trouble, especially when it comes to the apprehension of metaphor and meaning.
Another nice little thing about AOTC: Two times in the movie what we see is not what we hear and it parallels each other. At first we hear Anakin and Obi-Wan talking about republican politics while we see the bad guys executing their assasination attempt. Later we see Dooku and his Separatists talking about the Republic while we see our hero (Obi-Wan) sneaking around. This is unique in the saga, isn't it?
As to the OP, I'm not so sure about the "friendship" between Anakin and Obi-Wan. It's ruined by ham-fisted storytelling. First, we have to be TOLD that they are such great friends through expository dialog in the elevator (lazy). Much better to show it through characterization. Second, what we do get through characterization is that these two are NOT very good friends. Obi-Wan is cold, and Anakin is petulant. Obi-Wan spends most of the Coruscant scenes lecturing Anakin and having to smack him down (e.g. the disgusted "what?!" on the couch); Anakin starts whining about Obi-Wan to Padme, a person he doesn't know and hasn't seen in 10 years, at the first opportunity, and through the Tattooine dialogue he is very resentful of him. If you take out the dialog telling us they're good friends, you're left with characterization that tells you these two do not like each other at all. My biggest disappointments with the PT are in this method of storytelling -- we're being told important things in expository dialogue and not shown it. There is cognitive dissonance between what we're told in dialogue and what we see on screen in the characterization -- from Anakin & Obi's relationship to Anakin & Padme's relationship to the workings of the GFFA in general.
That's a very cool observation. We do get other moments where the political speak, if you like, isn't completely "front and centre": e.g., Palpatine communicating to Queen Amidala via hologram and the breaking-up that occurs ("Senator Palpatine!") in TPM, and Palpatine declaring the birth of the Empire which is intercut with Anakin executing the Separatist leaders in ROTS. This kinda shows the bashers are both right and wrong, in my view. Yes, there is a lot of political dialogue threaded into the PT films; no, it isn't all delivered at the same pace and manner, let alone as some kind of solemn "debate" or "lecture".
On the bad characterization of Anakin & Obi-Wan's friendship above... Just watched the extended edition LOTR Blu-Rays, probably the 5th time I've watched the trilogy, but it's fresh in my mind. Is there any question that Sam & Frodo are friends? No, it's clear by their characters' interaction during the course of events. Do we need to be told they are friends by dialogue as Lucas does with Anakin & Obi-Wan?
Well I assume you're speaking in response to my comment "I genuinely feel like I'm being reunited with two old friends who have obviously established a heartfelt rapport and relationship in the years since we last saw them" which was in regards to the elevator scene. I guess its subjective. I read a real warmth between them here that was probably a result of the bond the two actors apparently had during shooting. For example, Obi-Wan's glances towards Anakin I read to be ones of genuine affection. That and the fact Anakin isn't afraid to lay his true, vulnerable feelings and nervousness regarding Padme on the line before Obi-Wan. You don't do that with someone you either don't trust/like, or feel contempt for. I remember seeing the scene for the first time grinning ear to ear. It was just the relationship I wanted to see. Yes they also naturally have the strained relationship of both siblings and a parent and child at times. But their love for one another, although subtle and open to interpretation, is certainly evidenced in my opinion. And while I can't recall all of the dialogue within the scene off-hand, I don't recall any heavy exposition here that definitively stated they were friends (such as can be found in that one scene in ROTS). There is at other times, of course, but we must remember that heavy exposition is established in all of the Star Wars films at times - in my opinion, its not so much a result of lousy/lazy filmmaking and more an acknowledgement that these movies are aimed at actual children just as much as they are us big kids at heart And whether healthy or not, heavy exposition is a staple of all children's films.
One of my favorite things about AOTC were seeing the Red Guards for the first time. I know they are only one for a second but too see them for 'the first time' was awesome
Well, I'll take my hat off to anyone who can watch LOTR five times. Fact is, Jackson has forever and a day to tell this turgid and poorly paced story whereas Lucas has limited himself to around the two-hour mark. So with Star Wars the devil is in the detail. Obi-wan is terrible as a mentor, forever scolding Anakin and being overly serious. However, the friendship to which he refers in ANH is much more evident in ROTS. That said, the conversation they both have about Anakin's dreams is quite touching and I always feel in AOTC that Obi-wan does have his apprentice's best interests at heart. What do I think is great about this film? I love the chase through Coruscant, it's a real feast for the eyes. I also love the mysteries of the plot and how that gradually unfolds throughout the film. The love story is almost Shakespearean in the way it's handled (although this is a casualty of the plotting and it does stretch things a bit to have them reunite, fall in love and then marry, all in the space of one film). So we have small moments like the tense conversation between Jango and Obi-wan coupled with big moments like the Battle Of Geonosis (an unadulterated tribute to Harryhausen - which, for someone of my age is a real treat). All in all, there's a lot to come back for with this film.
One of my favorite parts of AOTC is the scene with Yoda and the younglings. You hear the Yoda theme briefly, it's one of the few parts in the PT where you hear Yoda give some sort of laugh, and it's just a nice quiet moment with Yoda, Obi-Wan and the younglings. I especially loved when Obi-Wan and Yoda give the younglings a brief lesson with the galactic map. Felt really magical.
One touch I like about the Anakin/Obi-Wan vs Dooku duel in AOTC is the "handed down" saber. When Anakin duels Dooku, he uses the sabers Obi-Wan and Anakin obtained in the arena. The green saber Anakin had is destroyed, and he then proceeds to lose his arm dueling with the blue saber Obi-Wan also lost with. I always thought this was kind of symbolic, like a cursed saber if you will. Also, keep in mind that Luke loses his arm dueling Vader with a saber Obi-Wan passed down, which belonged to Anakin. Maybe I'm just superstitious, but I read once that Lucas is too. I've posted this before elsewhere, but it wasn't really agreed with I don't think.
Well, Lucas seems to believe in a higher power of some kind, based on at least one comment I've read, but I don't know about him having smaller superstitions, if you will. Hope my wording won't ruffle any feathers too vigorously. It is probably more accurate to say -- from a certain POV, anyway -- that Lucas may have OCD, or OCD-like symptoms, which we all have, to one degree or another. Artists are people; and people have certain likes, dislikes, habits, vices, etc. Artists are also people indulging their likes, dislikes, habits, vices, etc. Thus, in art, eccentricity is magnified. Lucas does seem to like things a certain way (to say the least), ranging from his trusty No. 2 pencils and yellow notepad paper when starting out, to bilateral symmetry and clean office spaces (real and fictional), as he depicts the movers and shakers of Star Wars within Star Wars and without. George Lucas is a creature of habit and patterns. But again, so are we all; to one degree or another. I do think Lucas works through the details of his films in great depth, but that doesn't mean he's rigidly working from a "master plan" (the strawman often trotted out as if one must either believe Lucas maps everything out or nothing; and if the latter, isn't capable of being deep or precise). He probably does perceive many of these things in his mind's eye, I'd tentatively say. I mean, superstition, timing, significance, things real or imagined, surface versus reality -- these are just some of the artifacts of human thought clearly being explored, in perpetuity, in Lucas' art (in my opinion).
I do agree that Lucas must have some sort of condition whereby he just can't leave his art alone, because he's never entirely satisfied with it. The kindest act would be to take the films from him but obviously that's not possible. So we have to live with the constant revision of the films in a kind of begrudging acceptance or choose the path of denial. For an "original fan" (which is to say 'I was there back in '77; yes, son, I was that solider etc') I've become surprisingly sanguine about Lucas choosing to reinvent and alter with each successive release of the films. I do feel sorry for him, though.
I don't think it's necessarily some sort of 'condition'; alot of directors probably have things about their movies they'd like to fix or change. It's just that very, very few actually get the opportunity (through either being famous, independent of the studio, or whatever) to go back and tinker with things basically for the hell of it. Ridley Scott has tinkered with Blade Runner quite abit; James Cameron was the first 'special edition'/'director's cut' I remember, with his edition of Aliens where the sentry guns and dialogue were put back in the film after the fact. Spielberg messed around with ET for the 20th-anniversary release. However, Ridley Scott, James Cameron, Stephen Spielberg, and George Lucas are not your typical Hollywood directors, who don't necessarily have a lot (or any) control over what they're directing.
I hear what you're saying but I do think that someone who seems to fail to be satisfied with their art, no matter how successful it is, is hindered in some way. They can't see what others do - and working in the arts I have first-hand experience of this, when I come away from a show dissatisfied but have to listen to audience members telling me how great it was (that looks awfully conceited now I look back on that sentence but I hope you can see what I mean) - that what they do brings so much happiness to everyone else. The other directors you mention may have changed their films once, but George does it every single time his films are re-released. Surely that's not healthy? Anyway, we digress (for which I take the blame!).
The obvious parallel is Scott and Blade Runner; how many different versions of Blade Runner are there? Anyway; I'd say the relative lack of changes (aside from different viewing angles and such, which there are alot of as far as I can tell) to the OT Blu-Rays (there's something like two each in ANH and ROTJ, and none in TESB) are an indication that Lucas is getting pretty close to being happy with these films; the lack of changes to ANH in particular are a pretty good indicator, given that it's fact that Lucas wasn't terribly pleased with it's theatrical release.
You know, the more I watch it and the more I think about it, Attack of the Clones is pretty freaking good. I really love the fun feeling of the movie. Plus the pacing really picks up from The Phantom Menace. I also really love Hayden Christensen's portrayal of Anakin. I don't really know what more I can add about how I love this movie, but I just wanted to say that it is definitely growing on me. I love it more and more every time I think about it. Oh, one more thing; Dex's Diner might just be the coolest scene of the entire Saga.
Just watched AOTC again last night. Some observations about the last section (probably my favourite bit)... - When Obi-Wan is sneaking round that interior section on Geonosis, I had previously kept forgetting how odd his body language is -- or seems, to me, anyway -- when he walks down those steps (just before going back into the shadows and moving carefully). For, he doesnt really walk, but skips down those steps, practically, like a little boy. The body language is, in my opinion, at odds with someone who should be sneaking around, careful not to attract attention or bump into someone or something. Its peculiarly dissonant: one of many examples of "cheese" in this film. But thats what also makes it brilliant (in my view). To me, the body language implies, despite the low profile Obi-Wan is keeping in other shots, that Obi-Wan, as a roving Jedi Knight, thinks he owns the place. Perhaps, Obi-Wan is simply moving quickly to ensure he doesnt miss anything as he transitions from one spot to another, but that jaunty footwork still strikes a strange note, visually speaking. I think its a "giveaway" to the underlying mentality of ALL the Jedi: despite their self-restricting nature, they ALL think they can just roam anyway, and do anything. Danger is perceived ruefully one moment, then blithely disregarded the next (in my view, there are various scenes, in all three PT movies, that show this). Once again, Lucas threads in the idea -- purely visually (ingeniously) -- that the Jedi are heading for a fall. Let us not forget Obi-Wans earlier impertinence, either. When he is guarding Padme with Anakin, Obi-Wan bluntly shoots his apprentice down, verbally, when Anakin suggests they find out who is trying to kill Padme, and he later protests that using Padme as bait is "too risky", but Obi-Wan dives head first (literally) through a partitioned window, risking death, and later heads an investigation (more or less) which results in the discovery, and then, the use, of an army of cloned, enslaved people, in a fateful military operation. This movie, basically, is a Pandoras Box of moral dilemmas and oscillating emotions. Love it. Okay, these other observations are fairly mild/lame in comparison, but Im going to put them out there, anyway... - When Obi-Wan is held captive by Dooku, and when Dooku says, "Join me, Obi-Wan, and together, we will destroy the Sith!", I just noticed that Obi-Wan gives Dooku a subtle nod before replying, "Ill never join you, Dooku!" This small gesture makes the Obi-Wan character even more arrogant, in my opinion -- self-assured; TOO self-assured -- in the face of a shifting galaxy, and in the more immediate "human" context of one person reaching out to another (whether Dooku is being fallacious or not, it seems un-Jedi-like, to me, to be so quick for Obi-Wan snap his hand away; especially when Obi-Wan is in such a difficult position -- again, quite literally!). Its not that Obi-Wan is a "bad" guy, per se; but I do find his casual arrogance unsettling (for such an ostensibly-lofty guy). I also love how this scene, and this exchange, contrasts with the one in TESB, between Vader and Luke. The one in TESB has a more primal, enlarged quality, what with Vaders synthetic, reverberant voice, him literally reaching across the void to Luke, and Lukes wild-animal-like rebuff ("Ill never join you!" is really growled out by Mark Hamill), but here, in AOTC, things are more "civil", and chilly; yet, at the same time, theres a kind of hyper-flashy, comic-book-like grandeur, not least with Obi-Wan hovering in the air as blue bolts of electrical energy dance across his body (based on imagery captured on a digital sensor, then amended inside one or more digital devices, versus the chemical-based nature of the cinematography and effects in TESB). Theres a great tapestry here, completely unseen and unappreciated by the characters, but ours for the taking. - Now, Jar Jar opening the motion for Palpatine to be granted "Emergency Powers" is always focused on at the expense of his little speech that precedes the motion itself
Great insights (as usual), Cryogenic. I've never made those connections before--thanks for the new insights and I agree with AOTC's being a film "with it's head on tight."
Thank you, jc1138! Im relieved you made it through that mess of mine, replete with, er, missing, apostrophes (alas, my apostrophe key is still broken -- and I cant always be bothered to copy and paste the symbol into the right places, let alone use a keyboard shortcut!). Im just going to take this opportunity to return to an earlier discussion strand... Looking back at this after my latest viewing, I think the truth is a fusion of our interpretations. What I was reminded of, this time around, primarily, was a certain diffidence on Anakins part, to complement -- or undercut, I suppose -- his inner drive and confidence in himself (or "arrogance", if you like). And during the chase segment, right as Anakin decides to go a different direction, he tells Obi-Wan, "This is a shortcut... I think!" That little qualificatio

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 189459
VFAT charset options have no effect
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:31 EST
Description of problem: Charset options for VFAT have no effect and filename always appears in UTF-8. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.16-1.2080 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. # mount -t vfat -o codepage=932,iocharset=euc-jp /dev/xxx /mount/point 2. # ls /mount/point Actual results: Filenames in /mount/point appears in UTF-8 Expected results: Filenames in /mount/point appears in euc-jp Additional info: There is no problem with vanilla kernel(18.104.22.168) from kernel.org
Apparently it was decided that all VFAT partitions SHALL be UTF8, unless explicitly told otherwise, via an undocumented option. For a work-around, mount your VFAT partitions with an additional, undocumented option: utf8=0 See bug 181963 Note that other distros, like Ubuntu, do not have this hard-coded kernel bug.
Adding option utf8=0 worked well, thank you! But I feel it incorrect that kerel ignores iocharset option without this work-around.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 183564 ***

Brussels-based artist Badi has just released a new song called 'Belgicain' in which he speaks of his experiences as Belgican, or an Afropean living in Belgium.
The video is filmed on the streets of Matonge, the popular African neighbourhood in Brussels.
Here is the video:
The Very Best are back!
Malawian-British group The Very Best have just released a video (shot in Nairobi) for their single 'Yoshua Alikuti', from their upcoming album 'MTMTMK' (out on 17 July).
Azonto – a dance craze for 2012?
First, happy new year everyone!
And now, let's start looking at what may be worth paying attention for 2012. I will shortly write a detailed post looking at political trends that may be important this year, but in the meanwhile, here's a cultural note.
The azonto dance is becoming hugely popular in Ghana (I first learnt about it a few weeks ago, when a Malawian high school friend staying there posted on Facebook the video below, and said it was the craze there). And it seems it's also increasingly popular online. So will azonto take over the dance world in 2012?
What bugs Die Antwoord?
South African hip-hop band Die Antwoord, who have become hugely popular among hipsters all around world through their videos and aesthetics, have a new video: "Fok Julle Naaiers" ("Fuck all you"), from forthcoming album "Ten$ions".
In this song their use of the word "faggot" has led to a costly divorce with Interscope label. But, as DJ Ninja explains in a video, this does not mean Die Antwoord are homophobic – DJ Hi Tek who uses the work in the song is himself gay. See the video here, complete with an "interesting" show of to use the word "Simunye".
In any case, "Fok Julle Naaiers" is quite a dark and creepy video, in which all kind of insects crawl on the members faces and even their mouth. The last question I have, is what exactly means the "Viva ANC" graffitti next to the drawing of a man with a huge penis… Any ideas?

Black History Month – "L'ébène est dans le noir" video
October, which is nearly over, is celebrated as Black History Month, in the United Kingdom, where I lived for a few years and learnt of this event.
To celebrate this, I am posting below a video-clip of Burkinabe MC Art Melody, which Tom Devriendt shared yesterday at AIAC. The song, titled "L'ébène est dans le noir" (The ebony is in the dark), starts with Sarkozy's infamous quote about Africans "not having fully entered into history" and goes on to reflect on the situation of Africa, a result of their leaders corrupt actions. I found the video captivating, as it is made up of different representations of black and African people across time – through movies, documentaries and cartoons).
Enjoy the video and I hope you've had a good Black History Month (and if not there are a few days left to do so)!
Saturday's Music Video
Some weeks ago, I blogged about DJ Cleo's "Facebook" videoclip; here's another example of a music song inspired by a social network, this time is South African duo Liquideep, inspired by BBM (which gained a great deal of notoreity in this summer's London riots).
Found this thanks to my friend Marianne.
Enjoy your Saturday afternoon!
Zambia's presidential election – a reflection on the power of silence
Following the September 20th presidential and pegislative elections, Michael Sata (a.k.a. King Cobra) has become the new Zambian President (here's his inauguration speech, delivered on Friday 23rd). Sata's victory, standing on the opposition party ticket of the the Patriotic Front (PF), constituted a surprise to most observers (although not all) who had predicted that the incumbent Rupiah Banda of the MMD would benefit from the "uneven playing field" that characterises the country's electoral process.
In reflecting on the reasons why the PF was able to ovecome the challenges that stood ahead of them, Jack Hogan writes on the African Arguments website:
One slogan more than any other has dominated Zambia's 2011 elections, the PF's 'Don't Kubeba!', or 'Don't Tell!'. It lies at the heart of the PF's seemingly successful campaign to negate the benefits of incumbency enjoyed by the MMD. It appeared on posters, on the lips of cadres and at rallies. Dandy Krazy's 'Donch Kubeba' (with appropriate shushing dance move) has been one of the most popular tunes heard out and about during the last two months. In essence, it encouraged voters to take the chitenge, maize meal, oil, or even bribes offered by the government, even attend the rallies, but not feel they couldn't vote against them anyway. As a way of upholding the secrecy of the ballot, and running a campaign against an opponent with resources far in excess of your own, it is a risky, but clever strategy. Indeed, the EU Observer Mission stated that unequal access to resources meant a "level playing field" was distinctly lacking during campaigning. Despite this, it appears "Dont Kubeba!" paid off. (Emphasis added)
This strategy was not only extremely intelligent, but also contains an important reflection, in my view. These are times dominated by new Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs), from mobile phones to social networks. Tools we all (including myself) praise as a powerful way to bring social change, or at least help to create alternative narratives and mobilisation opportunities. More information, and the ability to share and communicate this, will help to bring political transformation. And yet, in the Zambian case it has been precisely the opposite strategy, one of silence, which has unleashed the power of the Zambian people in voting for a change of government (something possibilitated also by Banda's acceptance of defeat, something that unfortunately cannot be taken for granted in other African cases). In an era of abundant information and a myriad of communication channels, it has been a strategy built deliberately on remaining silent, that has proved successful in bringing about political change. Something to relfect on, I think.
But before that, have a listen to "Donch Kubeba", which is also a great song and a prime example of "kombi music" (it was my girlfriend who came up with this label, to refer to the music commonly heard on Southern Africa's public transport system). Enjoy!
