LEDES Adds Activity, Expense to E-Discovery Billing Codes
The Legal Electronic Data Exchange Standards organization is following up last year's work on e-discovery billing codes with codes for e-discovery activity and expense, reports Evan Koblentz.
The codes are intended to provide greater insight into the e-discovery billing process by providing a uniform standard for law firms, corporate legal departments, vendors, and clients to itemize and evaluate e-discovery work. They align with the Electronic Discovery Reference Model and the EDRM Metrics Cube, the organization's model to represent how metrics codes fit into the e-discovery process. The new codes include the A100 series for activities and X300 for expenses; last year's billing codes are known as the L600 series.
Although industry experts welcome the effort to provide greater transparency into e-discovery costs, the LEDES codes have only seen modest adoption by e-discovery vendors.

5 Great Reasons to Kick Your Diet Soda Habit
We love sharing the latest from our friends at YouBeauty!
Chances are, you already know that diet soda is too good to be true. With that sweet taste and zero calories, something's gotta give. And chances are, it's your waistline and your health.
In fact, study after study shows that diet soda is likely failing you in its pounds-free promise and putting your health at risk at the same time.
Researchers have linked drinking diet soda with:
Weight gain
Diet soda drinking correlates with both increased waist circumference and a heightened body mass index. What's up? One possible explanation is that diet soda disrupts our ability to feel full. Scientists have found that, at least in rats, having something artificially sweetened before a meal leads to greater food consumption at chow time. In general, sweet tasting foods and drinks appear to increase our appetite.
RESEARCH: Fake Sugars Cause Weight Gain
Higher sugar consumption
"The intense sweetness of these products primes the brain to want more of the regular sweeteners, " says Lora Sporny, adjunct associate profession of nutrition and education at Columbia University Teachers College.
Artificially sweetened drinks activate our sweetness response, but don't completely satisfy it, leaving you craving more of the real thing. This can drive us to eat more ** sugary foods than we would normally.
Kidney problems
Julie Lin, M.D., a kidney specialist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, studied the soda habits and kidney health of more than 3,000 women for 11 years.
"What we observed," Dr. Lin says, "was an association between drinking two or more servings of diet soda per day and faster kidney function decline." In fact, the kidneys of diet soda drinkers declined at three times the rate typical of aging.
You don't want to mess with your kidneys, notes Lin. "They're really one of the most important organs for keeping our whole body in balance in terms of processing the waste that the body generates just from our daily food intake," she says. Even just moderate kidney decline goes hand-in-hand with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease.

Increased diabetes risk
"If you're a consumer of diet soda, you have a higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome than a non-consumer," says Lyn Steffen, Ph.D., R.D, a professor in the division of epidemiology and community health at the University of Minnesota.
Here's why that's bad news: Metabolic syndrome involves a deadly combination of abdominal obesity, elevated blood pressure, low HDL cholesterol, high triglycerides (fatty acid derivatives linked to heart disease and stroke) and elevated glucose (high blood sugar)--all of which increases the risk of diabetes, coronary heart disease and stroke.
Steffen studied thousands of people over nine years. At the end of the study, she looked at the study subjects' diets and whether they had developed metabolic syndrome. She found that the greatest predictors of someone getting the syndrome were those who consumed meat-heavy diets, fried foods and diet soda. Other researchers have linked diet soda drinkers with a 67 percent greater risk of developing full-fledged type 2 diabetes.
MORE: Which Sweeteners Are Bad For You?
A January 2012 study in the Journal of General Internal Medicine found that people who guzzle diet soda daily have a 43 percent higher risk of vascular events--such as stroke and heart attack--than people who don't drink diet soft drinks. However, light diet soda drinkers--those who sipped diet soft drinks somewhere between once a month and six a week--were not more likely to suffer vascular events.
So what can you do if you're truly hooked on diet soda? While drinking water is the best way to quench your thirst, the truth is, that doesn't always make for the most appetizing replacement. "For most people," says Sporny, "the weight of water isn't great enough to make it appealing to them. When fluid becomes a bit heavier, it's more palatable."
That's why both Sporny and Lin recommend seltzer water as your swap of choice. Carbonation is a naturally calorie-free way of putting some extra oomph in your glass. If you still want some sweetness to your drink, mix a bit of fruit juice with your seltzer and sip away.

10 Ways To Seduce Your Man In Seconds
posted in Relationships
Give him a sneak peek.
Lingerie? A schoolgirl outfit? Sure, it's been done, but there's a reason: It works. "Ask him to shop for a fantasy item he wants you to wear," suggests Cavanah. Then, to really knock his socks off, "Surprise him by having it on when he least expects it." Pull up your skirt a few inches to reveal a garter and stockings while you're sitting together at a restaurant. Pack that French-maid outfit with you when you stop by to help him "clean up" after his big party. He'll take notice. And action.
Write dirty.
If you simply can't bring yourself to try talking dirty, let your fingers do the talking instead. "Write a suggestive note on the steam on the mirror after your shower," says Venning. "The fact that it's there for a only moment and then gone will make the idea all the more tantalizing."
( sexting is another GREAT way)
Let your eye wander.
"Flirt with another man in front of him," says Cavanah. "Better yet, flirt with another woman." Seeing you act sexual—not to mention seeing others respond favorably to you—will pique his interest and stimulate his natural instinct to have you all to himself. Just be sure to keep the flirting within reason, like a waiter or host at a restaurant—not your ex-boyfriend at a party!
Play the part of the beautiful stranger.
Remember that gorgeous woman he stared at on the street or the actress in that movie he couldn't stop talking about? Don't be jealous—be inspired! Use her as inspiration for a makeover and show up to your guy's house like you're that same intriguing, tempting stranger, suggests Cavanah. Act confident and playful and, most important, "dress in a way that you normally don't," she adds. Translation: Swap your skinny jeans for something that shows a little leg, wear some new makeup shades, take down your ponytail and reintroduce him to your favorite high h
Tell him what you want—now.
One of the best ways to turn a man on is the simplest: "Tell him how good he is," says Cavanah. Think of something he excels at between the sheets, and as you lean in to kiss him, whisper, "I love the way you _____ my ______." Chances are, he won't wait long to prove you right.
Play the naughty version of "I Never."
"There's nothing like a conversation about your sexual 'bucket lists' to turn his mind to sex," suggests Venning. "You can start with "I've always wanted to…" or "I've never…" As long as you finish the conversation in the bedroom, consider it a success.
Pre-party with yourself.
"If you get turned on (or even orgasm) before your date, the signs of arousal, like full lips, pink cheeks and the pheromones women emit when turned on will all work on him in primal ways," says Venning. So go ahead and spend some "me time" before you see him. Oh, and don't be afraid to tell him all about it.
Give him the remote.
You know men love to control the TV remote, so why not mix it up and "slip him the wireless remote that controls the vibrating panties you're wearing," suggests Cavanah. If you're on the timid side, let him play around with it at home. If you're on the wild side, let him turn you on from across a crowded room at a party or during dinner at a restaurant.
Come on strong.
If your man doesn't initiate often, take charge and see if he enjoys your being dominant. Next time he's sitting on the couch, walk over to him and place your palms against his shoulders as you straddle him, then lean in, kiss his neck and tell him what you want to do to him, says Venning.
Give him a toy.
If your guy loves when you break out your vibrator, why not get him a toy of his own? After all, "Nothing says I want to have sex with you like a sex toy!" says Venning. A simple vibrating ring is always a safe bet and one that'll feel good for both of you. Explain to him how it works, and watch his eyes light up.
I hope this works out well for you 😉

CHICAGO — Eight percent of girls and 12 percent of boys surveyed for a recent study have used supplements to get a better body, according to the August edition of Pediatrics. While protein powders and shakes were most commonly used, steroids, growth hormone, amino acids and other substances were also listed.
After studying 10,449 predominately white, middle-class, 12- to 18-year olds whose mothers participated in a Harvard-affiliated nurse's health study, the study's authors found that girls who wanted to lose weight had an increased likelihood of using unhealthy methods. Other risk factors were girls and boys who reported thinking frequently about wanting more defined muscles and those who wanted to gain weight. In addition, boys who read men's, teen, fashion or health and fitness magazines were twice as likely to use unhealthy products, and girls who wanted to look like females in the media were significantly more likely to use supplements. Consistent with other cross-sectional studies, the study found that teens who lift weights or play football are at an increased risk for using creatine, amino acids, DHEA, growth hormone or steroids.
"It is unknown whether the association is attributable to encouragement from peers or coaches, but the topic warrants more investigation," the authors wrote.
The news wasn't all bad though. A sizable number of teens are strength training — 44 percent of girls and 62 percent of boys.

Out of the Shadows
This short documentary portrait of black gay and transgender men in Washington D.C. is narrated by poet Essex Hemphill. The video played at Frameline in 1990 on the same program as Tongues Untied, a film by Marlon Riggs with Hemphill participating. It was created by a production company called the Washington D.C. Media Project.

LEAF-PEEPING WEST: There are particular words we associate with New England and the East Coast. "Wicked" is pretty Boston and Massachusetts-y, for sure, as in "wicked is a wicked good word." "Grinders" can reign in the sandwich department (say, over hoagies or subs) and "elastics" are rubber bands. And what of leaf peepers? It's a term heard throughout the New England states come autumn, when thousands of tourists and locals go looking for the best foliage spots. But does leaf-peeping belong just to Vermont and Maine and the flame-tree-iest states of our nation? Au contraire. California has a fair share of leaf-peepery, too, mostly in its hilly stretches and mountainous regions. One of the best areas to go in search of yellow aspen and mellow cottonwoods is the eastern Sierra. Bishop, June Lake, and Mammoth all see a change come October. And, best of all? California leaf-peeping season doesn't necessarily see a jump in hotel rates.
TAKE... the Westin Mammoth's annual autumn deal. They've got a Fall Colors package on through Sunday, Nov. 3 that includes a room (those kick off at $169 a night) and breakfast for two leaf-peepers at the White Bark Restaurant. You need to be fortified in the face of foliage-hunting, right? Carb up and head out.
AND KEEP THIS HANDY... The California Fall Color Report is already on top of early sightings. Peaks change from year to year, so you may want to study past posts to pick your perfect Mammoth overnight. Oh, yes, and the hotel is in Mammoth proper. It's an interesting city to visit before the skiers descend (and the autumn-time bargains are notable, too).

Laura Bush, President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, and Three Federal Cultural Agencies Honor 18 Youth Arts and Humanities Programs For Excellence
2003 Coming Up Taller Awards Presented in White House Ceremony
Laura Bush presented the 2003 Coming Up Taller Awards to 18 nonprofit organizations from the U.S. and Mexico in a White House ceremony today. The awards are conferred annually by the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities (PCAH), National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), and Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and recognize the recipients for their outstanding work with underserved youth. Each organization received $10,000. Descriptions of the winning projects are available at http://www.arts.gov/news/news03/Taller2.html. The awards ceremony featured performances by exceptionally talented young dancers and singers from two of the winning organizations: the Celebration Team from the National Dance Institute in New York and COCA-Center of Creative Arts in St. Louis.
Laura Bush, Honorary Chair of the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, said, "I congratulate this year's Coming Up Taller Award recipients for the exemplary work they are doing in their communities to enrich the lives of young people."
The Coming Up Taller Awards recognize and support outstanding community arts and humanities programs that celebrate the creativity of America's young people, provide them with new learning opportunities, and chances to contribute to their communities. The awards also highlight the contributions that historians, scholars, librarians, and visual and performing artists make to families and communities by mentoring and teaching children.
The Coming Up Taller Awards are made possible by the NEA, NEH, IMLS, and individual, corporate and foundation contributors. The Mexican awards are sponsored by CULTURAL CONTACT/The US-Mexico Foundation for Culture, based in Mexico City.

The Partners
Dana Gioia, Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, said, "These programs challenge our youth to find the best of themselves through artistic creativity and self-expression. Arts participation, whether in music, dance, theater, visual arts, media arts, or literature, gives children the tools needed to succeed both inside and outside the classroom. I'm proud to recognize these organizations that have contributed so much to their communities."
Bruce Cole, Chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities, said, "The humanities fuel curiosity about the world, inviting a sense of wonder and possibilities. Learning about the history and cultures of the world introduces kids to the ideas that shape who we are and what we hope to be. The NEH is proud to honor those programs that are investing in America's most precious resource -- the hearts and minds of our children."
Robert Martin, Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, said, "Very often a child's first exposure to art and literature occurs at a museum or the local library. IMLS is proud of the after school resources these institutions offer and of the Coming Up Taller programs we award today. Together, we are making a difference in many children's lives."
According to Horacio Lecona, Director of CULTURAL CONTACT/The US-Mexico Foundation for Culture, "The arts and the humanities are essential to civilization, as they uplift our vision of mankind´s higher capabilities and sensibilities. The programs from Mexico who received the Coming Up Taller Award have reported an enormous growth in positive input, interest, support, and recognition, not only within their communities, but on a national scale as well."
The Program
The 18 Coming Up Taller awardees represent an increase in the number of organizations being honored, up from 13 last year, due to growth in the number of exceptional youth arts and humanities programs. Along with today's awardees, the PCAH, NEA, NEH and IMLS also are paying tribute to 34 semi-finalists for their work in providing arts and humanities programming for young people. The list of semifinalists is available at http://www.cominguptaller.org/awards-2003/semifinalists.html. There were 375 nominations from 48 states and the District of Columbia for this year's awards, which were reviewed by a national jury of experts. CULTURAL CONTACT/The US-Mexico Foundation for Culture identified the Mexican winners.
During the program's first six years, more than 2,000 nominations have been submitted from every state in the country. In all, 187 organizations have been recognized for their excellence as semifinalists and 71 have received $10,000 awards for their achievements with children.
In addition to the NEA, NEH and IMLS, supporters of the Coming Up Taller Awards include Beth Singer Design; Cherner Automotive, Arlene and Harvey Cherner; Cranium, Inc.; CULTURAL CONTACT/The USMexico Foundation for Culture; GMAC Financial Services; Green Family Foundation; H.E. Butt Grocery Company; The Harman Family Foundation, Jane and Sidney Harman; MetLife Foundation; Miller and Long Companies; John and Lucia Mudd; Caren H. Prothro; The Ruth C. and Charles S. Sharp Foundation, Inc.; Surdna Foundation, Inc.; and the Vin and Caren Prothro Foundation. The Coming Up Taller program is coordinated in collaboration with the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies.
The President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities bridges the interests of federal agencies and the private sector, supports special projects that increase participation, and helps to incorporate the humanities and the arts into White House objectives.
The National Endowment for the Arts exists to foster, preserve, and promote excellence in the arts, to bring art to all Americans, and to provide leadership in arts education.
The National Endowment for the Humanities, an independent grantmaking agency of the U.S. Government, supports learning in history, literature, philosophy, and other areas of the humanities.
The Institute of Museum and Library Services is an independent Federal grantmaking agency dedicated to creating and sustaining a nation of learners.

Here's what we know about truly satisfied customers:
- They'll buy from you again, today, when approached properly. If this isn't possible, they'll signal their desire to buy again by emitting three, utterly reliable and measurable behaviors. We were the first team to identify these behaviors and to develop a communication process for reliably turning positive regard into today's new profits.
- Satisfied customers make themselves available to you immediately, when you contact them. They purchase again with minimal time invested, persuasion, and expense. According to Harvard research, they are six times less costly to sell than new customers.
- Satisfied customers multiply themselves by gladly recommending you to friends, family, associates, and leaders. They defend you and your brands, and they are willing to weather temporary setbacks and disappointments without defecting. Their good will is an enduring asset and adds substantial value to your business.
Contact us today, to start a conversation about how we can help you to build meaningful differentiation and additional profits.

The hot open-sourcing trend has finally made it to the virtual reality realm. The University of Southern California recently unveiled a website that will serve as a database for open-source, DIY virtual reality projects.
The site will focus on providing schematics and instructions for building head-mounted displays while avoiding excessively priced ready-made VR headsets. It is backed by USC's MxR Lab, which primarily develops technologies for creating advanced human-computer interfaces.
Mark Bolas and David Nelson of USC's MxR Lab are overseeing the open-source initiative. Bolas, the lab's director, works on the development of hardware and software for immersive virtual reality systems. He helped build the Wide5 head-mounted display for Fakespace Labs and was involved in the Oculus Rift project. He discussed the new site with Road to VR:
We went open, because it was the only way to truly disrupt the HMD marketplace. We believe it has just gotten started and can not wait for people to take all these designs we have on our site to see what they will do with them.
One of the first headset projects up on the MXR DIY website is the VR2GO mobile viewer, which utilizes a 3D-printed case coupled with an iPhone or iPod camera and motion sensors. Another is the Socket HMD, which provides a 90-degree field of vision and 1,280-by-800 resolution virtual display. Modifications to previous designs are also available on the site, including one that will soup up the Oculus Rift with an Xbox Kinect to provide optical tracking and spatial mapping.
The initiative's goal is to expand the nascent virtual reality field rapidly by getting the hardware and software out there and in the hands of interested developers. Soon virtual reality headsets may be commonplace in our quickly advancing technological world filled with open-source, 3D printable developments.

CBO brings good news for Gang of 8
The Congressional Budget Office said Tuesday that the Senate Gang of Eight's immigration bill will significantly reduce the federal budget deficit in its first two decades if it becomes law.
Proponents of the bill are already claiming the news as a major victory for legislation that they hope to see passed before the July 4 recess. Some conservatives had focused on what they believed would be unwieldy costs of legalizing millions of undocumented immigrants, and giving them government benefits, as a major line of attack against the bill.
Story Continued Below
Now, advocates will have something concrete with which to pummel them at a crucial time.

But it's unclear how much — if at all — the CBO's good news for the Gang's bill would sway wavering senators in favor of the legislation. One senior Senate Republican aide said it's "doubtful" that the CBO's score will have an effect, because Republican senators are more focused on getting changes made to the bill — such as on border security — rather than its price tag.
In the first ten years, the immigration bill would reduce the federal deficit by $175 billion, according to the CBO. Capitol Hill's nonpartisan budget scorekeeper said the Gang of Eight bill would slash the deficit by $197 billion in the first decade, but implementing the bill would cost about $22 billion.

In the second 10-year period, the deficit would decrease by an additional $700 billion, the CBO said.
"This report is a huge momentum boost for immigration reform. This debunks the idea that immigration reform is anything other than a boon to our economy, and robs the bill's opponents of one of their last remaining arguments," said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) in a statement.
Schumer, a leader of the Gang of Eight, sped to the Senate floor shortly after the report was released and said: "I cannot overstate the significance of these findings."
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), another key member of the Gang of Eight, also applauded the CBO's estimates.
"The CBO has further confirmed what most conservative economists have found: reforming our immigration system is a net benefit for our economy, American workers and taxpayers," Rubio said in a statement.
But the CBO — despite being Capitol Hill's official number-cruncher — has its skeptics in Congress.
"Whens the last time you saw them accurate about anything?" Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) told POLITICO shortly afer the bill was released. "They're good plus or minus 50 percent."
The CBO estimated that the government would bring in much more money in new tax revenue than it would spend. The CBO estimates an increase of $459 billion in revenues from 2014 to 2023, due to more payroll and income taxes being paid by a larger labor force. The bigger pool of taxpayers includes new immigrants and current undocumented U.S. residents who will have become newly legalized.
The CBO estimated the labor force — bolstered by higher caps on high-skilled workers and a new guest worker program — would ultimately add nine million new workers by 2033. The budget scorekeepers predict that the larger population would help economic growth because more people would be consuming goods and services, eventually creating demand for more labor.
Under the Senate bill, as many as 180,000 new H-1B visas could ultimately be issued. Right now, the cap is 65,000, with an additional 20,000 visas for foreign workers with advanced degrees.
Meanwhile, the new guest-worker program for lesser-skilled immigrants — the product of an agreement by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and major unions — eventually caps the number of new visas at 200,000.
The CBO also estimated that increased reporting of employment income from those in the country who aren't allowed to work or aren't now "legally present" will boost the tax base, as well as their overall salaries as a result of their becoming legalized and brought into the system.

My poor heart shrivels at this.
...why do women do this? why would women do this?
I guess I don't understand, because I've always been a loudmouth who curses too much and has really strong opinions and knows too much.
When my mom gave me the advice of "honey, to get men you have to act stupid and helpless sometime, men like that." I scoffed, and never have purposefully acted useless. I carry the heavy stuff, I do everything myself, I have no problem voicing my opinions, and it attracts the kinds of guys I really like.
...I guess she took this sort of advice to heart?
Also is it linked to patriarchy, perhaps?
I'm also reminded of the cults where they refuse to teach young girls how to read or do basic math.
Views: 900
I could barely finish reading that comment thread. Not that far off from the dystopia of The Handmaid's Tale where the Republic of Gilead overthrew the previous US government, and where girls and women are forbidden to read.
Yeah, my mom never told me that, and I don't do the heavy lifting because I have balance issues, but I come with my own set of power tools and my husband thinks that's hot. Also going to give my daughter a stern talking to if she ever sells herself short like that. It does scare me that ppl like this are allowed to vote tho.
I'm reminded of some talking Barbie doll.
"Math is hard."
"I don't know. I'm just a girl."
That second one is paraphrased, but that was the general idea. Lots of women have internalized that sort of thing.
I would cry if I weren't laughing so hard. But, yeah, it happens. There are women who, especially if they're pretty, find it easier to get their self-validation through male approval. It's pandering to insecure men's needs to be smarter/stronger than women.
Ugh. I'm torn between feeling pity and anger for her. I don't know how to explain or translate this well, but there's a term for it in Hokkien, sainai. As dating advice, someone might say, "You should sainai your boyfriend." Basically, act weak/childish/super-fake-cutesy/helpless/selfish/whiny/brainless in order to boost the loser boyfriend's self-esteem, letting him think he's such a strong, brave, resourceful person! Oh, whatever would I do without you? I would just run and scream "kyaa!" at the sight of a teeny little Pomeranian because dogs are scary! There are cultures where this is accepted/normal/expected behavior for young women, and it pisses me off every time I see it. These are people in their twenties, stomping their feet and pouting and complaining about how politics is so boring and thinking is so hard and it would be so awesome to be someone's trophy wife. It's freakin' gross.
Only the original post seems to be a woman. I took the second post to be irony. The rest sound to me like insecure macho guys who respond positively to women who put themselves and other women down.
Why would a woman have such an opinion - she's internalized a lifetime of putdowns from male authority figures and from other women who've accepted the typical Stockholm Syndrome position in Dominator Culture. Women, or any marginalized group, can be turned against themselves. The capacity for such self betrayal is human nature, as is the capacity to find yourself again.
We still have a long way to go.
Cherish your authenticity. Keep that anger which makes you strong and independent, Jonel.
Here's a great blog on not confusing ethical behavior with politeness.
The Revolution Will Not Be Polite: The Issue of Nice versus Good
Social justice is about destroying systematic marginalisation and privilege. Wishing to live in a more just, more equal world is simply not the same thing as wishing to live in a "nicer" world. I am not suggesting niceness is bad or that we should not behave in a nice way towards others if we want to! I also do not equate niceness with cooperation or collaboration with others. Here's all I am saying: the conflation of ethical or just conduct (goodness), and polite conduct (niceness) is a big problem.
Plenty of oppressive bullshit goes down under the guise of nice.
... people who intend to harm others often display niceness towards them in order to make them feel safe and let their guard down. This trick only works because we have been taught that niceness indicates goodness. What is more, according to De Becker, women have been socially conditioned to feel indebted to men who are "nice" to them, which is often exploited by abusers. If this doesn't seem obvious to you, I suggest you pick up the book – it talks a lot about how socialisation of men and women makes it easier for men to abuse women.
An even bigger issue is that if people think social justice is about niceness, it means they have fundamentally misunderstood privilege. Privilege does not mean you live in a world where people are nice to you and never insult you. It means you live in a world in which you, and people like you, are given systematic advantages over other people. Being marginalised does not mean people are always nasty to you, it means you live in a world in which many aspects of the cultural, social and economic systems are stacked against people like you.
Cultural narratives are part of what builds and reinforces social roles, and those determine what opportunities a person has – and the rights they can actually exercise, even if they have them in the law. If you don't believe me and don't want to accept this idea, you will now google "stereotype threat", you will read Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman, you will watch this speech by Esther Duflo on women and development (which talks about stereotypes and outcomes)...
The conflation of nice and good also creates an avenue of subtle control over marginalised people. After all, what is seen as "nice" is cultural and often even class-dependent, and therefore the "manners" that matter get to be defined by the dominant ethnic group and class. For example, the "tone" argument, the favourite derailing tactic of bigots everywhere, is quite clearly a demand that the oppressor be treated "nicely" at all times by the oppressed – and they get to define what "nice" treatment is. This works because the primacy of nice in our culture creates a useful tool – to control people and to delegitimise their anger. [emphasis mine]
I'm angry too, Jonel. Check out my reply to a discussion about Atheism+.
It's about backlash against a feminist response to the sexism of some Atheist men.

Movies are impactful. They leave marks and smears in our heads with their fantastical concepts and thought provoking ideas. But many movies are based on books. This takes us back to the origin, a place where a brilliant head conceived a particular notion out of mere thin air. Yes, the writers who were hit in the head with the out of the box rockets. So talented humans are! So talented! One such exceptional bit from a franchise we all loved beyond limit got impregnated in the head of Rowling. The Pensieve was one of the most badass ideas one could have ever imagined. Whilst there are myriad variants of this fictional inanimate beauty, Rowling's invention still beats the craziest of all ideas.
Not only does it let you take out and store your memory but it also lets you revisit it like reality. You can have a third person vantage too, and experience someone else's memory in a first class comfy seat. Just imagine the things you could do were this idea to breathe in reality! Jury would be dispensable as judges would have a blast giving judgments. You would be able to relive a joyful moment of your life thousand times. You can shun the worst ones, lock 'em up and focus only on the good ones. Ah! Sheer bliss!
The memory cabinet was something we have always dreamt of. I have more than often found myself circling on the thought of storing my memories at one place, like a hard drive, to retrieve the crucial ones only when required. As a kid I used to ponder: Are we ever going to run out despite our storage space being so vast?
With the advent of a memory bowl like Pensieve in our lives, we would turn into better versions of ourselves. Wouldn't that clear our heads for good? Wouldn't that make us ballsier? I think we would be more focused, unleashed from chains of past, unaffected by fear of any kind, bold, brazen, zealous and more committed to every job at hand.
But Alas! It is chained to glimmers of fantasy and unfortunately we can't have a shot at it. Can we hammer this beauty alive? Only in dreams, I surmise.

Justin Walker is serving a 30-year sentence for the killing of an Oklahoma Sheriff. "Jus N" has a Facebook page. Also, apparently, a Blackberry, a bong, a stash of weed, knives, some booze and other goodies inside his jail cell.
Oklahoma's FOX 23 News found out about "Jus N Walk" and his Facebook page, which sadly no longer contains the photographs of Walker taking bong rips, drinking hooch and licking shanks. He likes fantasy novels, the movie Natural Born Killers, and, according to FOX 23, adheres to white power ideology. Watch the news report below:
After this report aired, the Oklahoma Department of Corrections moved Jus N Walk from the medium security Granite Reformatory to the Oklahoma State Penitentiary. Officers found his phone and weed. It was just too good to be true, wasn't it, Jus N?

The NYPD and the FBI are investigating this computer graphic that was posted to an internet site linked to al-Qaeda.
In a twist on al-Qaeda's vehemently anti-American stance, the graphic looks like a Hollywood movie poster as it drives its message home. Yet it advertises an ominous message that's so far been unfounded, according to the NYPD.
NBC News reports that the image was found on a radical overseas site and reads: "Al Qaeda Coming Soon Again in New York."
NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said the "NYPD intelligence division is aware of it and investigating."
He added that the NYPD is working to try to determine what individual or group posted the threat on the website; it is now being spread across numerous extremist forums. The NYPD says there is no evidence of any plot or new specific threat to the region.
And it's worth pointing out that Al-Qaeda web forums often post threats and rants from extremists and sympathizers.
The first comment on NBC's Facebook post about this image was: "what a bunch of crap!" — perhaps in reference to the credibility of the graphic's message.
The graphic was found in the "artwork and design" section of a militant website, reports Reuters.
The FBI says they're also investigating.

No winners scooped Tuesday's record-breaking £167 million EuroMillions jackpot, meaning Friday's top prize remains the biggest ever on offer in the UK.
The winning numbers in the draw were 06, 24, 32, 48, 50. The lucky star numbers were 01 and 05.
Two lucky punters in the UK became overnight millionaires with the UK Millionaire Raffle Selections HKWV23693 and HKXK00811.
The jackpot has now reached its maximum 190 million euros (estimated £168 million), where it will remain for a further four draws until it must be won on the fifth.
If a single ticket scoops the top prize, it would create the UK and Europe's biggest ever winner.
Andy Carter, the National Lottery's senior winners' adviser, said: "Friday's jackpot remains the biggest ever offered to UK players. A single UK winner would be the biggest this country and Europe has ever seen."
The current record holders are Colin and Chris Weir, from Largs in North Ayrshire, Scotland, who won £161 million in 2011.
A £161 million jackpot would put the winner in joint 672nd on this year's Sunday Times rich list, ahead of singers Robbie Williams, who is worth £150 million, and Sir Tom Jones, who is worth £160 million.
So far this year, UK winners have scooped five EuroMillions jackpots, with the biggest so far won by an anonymous ticket-holder, who banked £87 million.

The Chinese-language Business Today magazine recently published a report about a plan supposedly drawn up by South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co to "kill Taiwan." According to the report, having knocked out Taiwan's DRAM chip and display panel industries in 2008, Samsung now wants to destroy its mobile communications and original equipment manufacturer/original design manufacturer semiconductor wafer makers.
The question is, what powers does Samsung have that would allow it to deliver such a lethal blow? Could it be Samsung's brand of vertical integration, or its "fear management" or crisis management? The key factor is actually exchange rates.
It would be naive to think that North Korea's recent provocative words and actions, such as its missile and nuclear weapons tests, and its threat to launch a nuclear first strike, were simply irrational and boorish antics on the part of its leader, Kim Jong-un. We should recognize that the biggest winner has been Samsung.
During the month or so between Feb. 20 and March 25, South Korea's won dropped 3 percent against the US dollar on the back of the North Korean threat, while the New Taiwan dollar fell by just 0.88 percent over the same period. This has put Taiwan's high-tech manufacturers at a further 2.12 percent disadvantage compared with Samsung.
If Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co's (TSMC) US$17.2 billion annual revenue for last year is multiplied by 2.12 percent, it is set to lose out to Samsung by as much as US$365 million over a year.
Compared with TSMC, Samsung could spend all that extra money on research, development and talent poaching. Assuming that South Koreans and Taiwanese are equally capable and intelligent, this monetary advantage would be the only difference between them, but in a mortal combat between the two giants, it could put Samsung in an unbeatable position. Even if exchange rate fluctuations are compared for the whole of the past year, the South Korean won has fallen by 4.35 percent, compared with 2.58 percent for the NT dollar — still a difference of 1.77 percent.
In Japan, the rise of Samsung prompted many people to delve into "Samsungology," with most analysis focused on the company's marketing, vertical integration, fear management and crisis management, but observers overlooked the key factor of the super-appreciation of the Japanese yen. This erroneous understanding and diagnosis caused Japan to miss the opportunity for prescribing the right remedy, and led to the demise, or near-demise, of Japanese technology firms Elpida Memory and Sharp Corp, and has been a factor behind Japan's 23 lost years.
Only now has Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's Cabinet seen the light and instituted its "Abenomics" policy, one of whose main features is a guided depreciation of the yen. This policy has given big Japanese firms like Toyota and Sony a shot in the arm, and boosted their share prices. Evidently, exchange rates are the key factor.
The high exchange value of the NT dollar, compared with the South Korean won and the Chinese yuan, has been a blow for Taiwan's technology industry. Taiwan's four major display panel manufacturers alone lost out to South Korea by NT$175 billion in the first three quarters of 2011 because of the exchange rate factor, and this was the main reason for heavy losses incurred by the nation's panel makers.
