Sarah McBride & Jennifer Finney Boylan | Tomorrow Will Be Different
Trans advocates Sarah McBride and Prof. Jennifer Finney Boylan discuss McBride's powerful new memoir, "Tomorrow Will Be Different."
Before Sarah McBride became the first transgender person to speak at a national political convention, Sarah struggled with the sadly familiar challenge several young members of the LGBTQ community face: whether or not to come out – not just to family, but to her peers, her classmates she led from her role as student body president.
Sarah knew she was a girl from her earliest memories, but it wasn't until the Facebook post announcing her truth went viral that she realized just how much impact her story could have on the country. Four years later, she had become one of the most prominent transgender activists, working within the walls of the White House, advocating the passing of laws, and addressing the country in the midst of a heated presidential election.
Informative, heartbreaking, and empowering, "Tomorrow Will Be Different" is Sarah's story of love and loss, a powerful entry into the LGBTQ community's battle for equal rights and what it means to be openly transgender.
Sarah McBride is a LGBT rights activist and political figure. She is currently the National Press Secretary of the Human Rights Campaign, and is largely credited with the passage of legislation in Delaware banning discrimination on the basis of gender identity in employment, housing, insurance, and public accommodations. She has been a speaker at the Democratic National Convention, becoming the first openly transgender person to address a major party convention in American history.
Professor Jennifer Finney Boylan, author of fifteen books, is the inaugural Anna Quindlen Writer in Residence at Barnard College of Columbia University. Her column "Men & Women" appears on the op/ed page of the New York Times on alternate Wednesdays. From 2011 to 2018 she served on the Board of Directors of GLAAD, the media advocacy group for LGBT people worldwide. She was a consultant and cast member for I AM CAIT, the docu-series about Caitlyn Jenner that debuted on the E! network in July of 2015; and also served as a consultant to the Amazon series TRANSPARENT. Her 2003 memoir, "She's Not There: a Life in Two Genders" (Broadway/Doubleday/Random House) was the first bestselling work by a transgender American.
Nathan Englander interview at AWP 2018
Nathan Englander is with PBS Books to talk about his latest novel, Dinner at the Center of the Earth. Englander was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2013. He's also a Guggenheim fellow and was selected as one of "20 Writers for the 21st Century" by The New Yorker.
A prisoner in a secret cell. The guard who has watched over him a dozen years. An American waitress in Paris. A young Palestinian man in Berlin who strikes up an odd friendship with a wealthy Canadian businessman. And The General, Israel's most controversial leader, who lies dying in a hospital, the only man who knows of the prisoner's existence.
From these vastly different lives Nathan Englander has woven a powerful, intensely suspenseful portrait of a nation riven by insoluble conflict, even as the lives of its citizens become fatefully and inextricably entwined—a political thriller of the highest order that interrogates the anguished, violent division between Israelis and Palestinians, and dramatizes the immense moral ambiguities haunting both sides. Who is right, who is wrong—who is the guard, who is truly the prisoner?

Colson Whitehead Interview: I Have to Know the Destination
"I became a writer once I realised no one liked my stuff." Watch Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey's favourite author, Pulitzer Prize-winning Colson Whitehead, on how rejections of his first stab at a novel made him realize that he wanted to pursue writing.
As a child, Whitehead read a lot of Marvel comic books and initially wanted to work within that genre. It wasn't until he started working for the New York newspaper The Village Voice that he began writing, and being a freelance journalist furthermore allowed him the time to write fiction. However, his first attempt at a novel was rejected several times – he was even dumped by his agent – but this only made him want to continue writing: "I had no choice than to keep going and start another novel, and that was 'The Intuitionist', which came out in 1999."
"I figured if you know how to do a certain kind of story, why do it again?" Whitehead likes to switch genres, "moving from pseudo-detective novels to non-fiction to horror novels" to keep it interesting – and challenging – for him as a writer: "If there's an element of fear involved in not knowing how it's going to work out in terms of execution, that's always good." If Whitehead is unsure about which direction to take a story, he writes his ideas in two different notebooks, going with the one where the ideas seem to flow more freely. He takes notes for up to a year before he starts writing, figuring out the characters as well as the beginning and the end: "I have to know the destination before I set out."
Colson Whitehead (b. 1969) is an award-winning American novelist. He is the author of several novels, including his debut 'The Intuitionist' (1999) and 'The Underground Railroad' (2016), for which he won the prestigious 2016 National Book Award for Fiction and the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. He has also written the non-fiction book 'The Colossus of New York' (2003). Whitehead is the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship (2002) and a Guggenheim Fellowship (2013). He lives and works in New York City.
Colson Whitehead was interviewed by Tonny Vorm in August 2017 in connection with the Louisiana Litera-ture festival at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark.
The Media, Myth & Fake News: From Watergate to Today

Njinga of Angola: Africa's Warrior Queen
Linda Heywood discussed her book "Njinga of Angola: Africa's Warrior Queen," about this multifaceted and successful 17th-Century African ruler.
Speaker Biography: Linda Heywood is a professor of African history and the history of the African diaspora and African-American studies at Boston University.
Anti-Globalization in the Era of Trump: Joseph Stiglitz

Directorate S: Steve Coll on the CIA & America's Secret Wars
The U.S. is intensifying its air war in Afghanistan as U.S. Central Command has announced it is shifting military resources from Iraq and Syria back to Afghanistan, where the United States has been fighting for over 16 years in the longest war in U.S. history. U.S. Air Force Major General James Hecker recently said Afghanistan has "become CENTCOM's main effort." The news comes after a particularly bloody period in Afghanistan. Despite the spiraling violence, President Trump recently ruled out negotiations with the Taliban during a meeting of members of the United Nations Security Council. We speak to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Steve Coll about his new book, "Directorate S: The C.I.A. and America's Secret Wars in Afghanistan and Pakistan."

commercial property for rent or lease, Industrial Space For Lease.
Bethel Alaska, Commercial & Industry Space for lease or rent
Agents, Owners
Bethel (AK) commercial property for lease, rent, and leased investments.
Find Bethel industrial buildings for lease, retail rentals, & shops. Locate a Bethel warehouse lease and any real estate for lease / investment, including industrial properties to rent and sale.
Any Bethel commercial lease is simply an agreement between the parties that sets out the parameters for the business arrangement in the Bethel location. The potential for future adversity is more than real if the terms are not fully understood and considered at the time of signing. A standard lease will have been prepared for a Bethel property that will naturally protect the landlord's interest in most eventualities. A successful leasing agreement should reflect the issues faced by both the Bethel landlord and tenant and should consider the needs and requirements of each party.
Search Bethel real estate and space for sale, lease and rent
While scouting suitable property you need for your Bethel business, negotiating terms and conditions, expenses, maintenance & repairs costs, sub-lease options, and real estate liability can be involved, by having a professional Bethel broker, you can save on time and stress by letting an experienced, knowledge professional do your bargaining for you. It's also wise to hire your own Bethel real estate attorney to look over the final contract before committing to a long-term and legally binding contract. Early termination of lease contracts can be expensive.
Your long term Bethel business plan and real estate commitment should be aligned as most real estate leases and investments are long in duration. Business leaders need to anticipate future growth and requirements of the Bethel business to be positioned for the best and worst scenarios. Define the spaces you need and make sure the area can be designed to incorporate all requirements. Will the layout satisfy Bethel employee expectations and will any possible employee relocation, or commute, to a new venue be achieved to everyone's satisfaction. Consider proximity to Bethel facilities and amenities such as shopping, health care, childcare, etc.

Bigos – A stew, hunter's stew rich with meats, mushrooms, sauerkraut and dried fruits.
So today my blog bigos is made up of a slew of blurbs …
From The News.PL, a couple of days ago, they wrote about historians that uncovered a previously unknown memoir by one of the victims of a notorious WW II Nazi operation against Polish intelligentsia (called Sonderaktion Krakau of November 1939).
One of the principals, Zygmunt Starachowicz, kept a memoir of the experience with:
- Interesting Profiles of the detainees
- How he was a law graduate signing documents at Jagiellonian University when he was arrested with 182 academics
- How 20 of the 183 people died in captivity
- A memoir penned in 1941, that lay in unopened envelope for 70 years
Sadly, Zygmunt died in 1944 after being arrested by the Nazis in July 1944 [probably as a result of his activities as a member of the underground, leading clandestine lectures in law and history, and forging documents for the official "Home Army" (AK)].

FERPA Release Form
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 protects the privacy of educational records, establishes the right of students to inspect and review their educational records and provides guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data. Each year Schoolcraft College notifies students of these privacy rights and outlines the public information that can be released outside the institution.
No one outside the institution shall have access to nor will the institution disclose any information, other than directory information, from students' educational records without the written consent of the student. Exceptions permitted under FERPA include:
Upon request, Schoolcraft discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which the student seeks or intends to enroll or where the student is already enrolled so long as the disclosure is for purposes related to the student's enrollment/transfer.
Students wishing to review their educational records must file a written request with the Registrar. Records covered by FERPA will be made available within 45 days of the receipt of the request. The right to a review or hearing under the Act does not include any right to challenge the appropriateness of a grade as determined by the instructor. However, students may use this process to verify that the instructor's grade has been properly transmitted to the student's records. Any inspection shall be made under the supervision of a Schoolcraft College employee. Students may not inspect or review the following as outlined by FERPA:
If an individual student feels that his or her official records are inaccurate, misleading or otherwise inappropriate, the student may discuss his/her concerns informally with the person(s) in charge of the records involved. If these persons agree with the student, the appropriate records will be amended. If not, the student will be notified within a reasonable period of time that the records will not be amended, and also will be informed by the vice president of student services of the student's right to a formal hearing.
At its discretion, the college is authorized to release directory information which includes, but is not limited to a student's name, address, telephone number, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, dates of attendance, degrees and academic awards received, and the most recent previous educational institution attended by the student.

Lisa Murkowski is waging a write-in campaign to maintain her Senate seat. In her quest to maintain the gift her father dutifully bestowed on her she now opposes the duly nominated Republican candidate as well as the Democratic candidate. The latest poll in the race suggests that here it could be close, though some appropriate adjustment has to be made to discount Murkowski's number for the problem created by having to write in a vote for her.
Last week Murkowski's colleagues in the Senate Republican Conference voted on two questions. The first was whether to replace Murkowski as vice chairman of the conference [see correction; Senator Murkowski resigned her postion as vice chairman; the vote was to determine who would replace her]. A vote occurred on that question, and she was replaced by Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming. The second was whether to accept the decision of the Republicans on the Senate Energy Committee to strip her of her ranking status. The senators voted to table this question.
Rich Lowry explains that technically the Senators didn't vote on the second question, but effectively acted to leave Murkowski in place. So who thought that was a good idea? Rich reports: "We know DeMint voted against Murkowski. Amazingly, though, we've gotten only Inhofe and Sessions (via the Politico) on the record against Murkowski on the committee question. The others either say they support her retaining the committee position, or won't say." NR has collected responses as best it could for the Murkowski files.
UPDATE: Senator Murkowski's office writes with a correction:
Lisa resigned from her position as the vice-chairman of the Republican Conference at the same time she made the decision to run as a write-in candidate. Thus [your] statement, "The first [vote] was whether to replace Murkowski as vice chairman of the conference," is misleading. Whether this was already a done deal because she had resigned, the vote was about who would be the replacement. I think Senator Barrasso will do an excellent job.
I regret the error and appreciate the correction.

text: Madrid - Tennis ace Rafael Nadal has set his sights on becoming Spain's flag-bearer at the 2016 Olympics after injury deprived him of the opportunity at the London Games.The 26-year-old announced last week that he was pulling out of the London Olympics due to injury, meaning he would also miss out on the honour of carrying Spain's flag at the opening ceremony on Friday."It was the most difficult decision which I have taken in my career and possibly the saddest," he told Spanish public television on Sunday."It was a unique opportunity so obviously I am sad. My goal now is to continue to work hard to try to have another chance in Rio in 2016. I hope I will be prepared to compete there and have another opportunity to carry the flag."Nadal, the gold-medal winner in Beijing four years ago, said he was pleased with the choice of basketball player Pau Gasol of the Los Angeles Lakers as his replacement to carry the Spanish flag."I think he is a fabulous representative of Spain. I think Pau is an example for society and for all athletes," he said."There is something special about Pau, I wish him the best and I hope he enjoys the experience a great deal."Feliciano Lopez will replace Nadal in the singles while Marc Lopez will step in to partner Marcel Granollers in the doubles.Nadal, the world No 3, won a record seventh French Open title last month but he crashed out in the second round at Wimbledon in a shock upset against Czech Lukas Rosol.

text: Many of us have lots of disk storage as part of our clusters. One issue I always face when buying RAID storage is whether to get the more expensive "enterprise" drives or to go ahead and settle for the consumer grade drives. The last time I checked, the enterprise drives were ~25% more expensive than the consumer drives. This difference might have changed since then. I've tried to find out what the differences are between the enterprise vs. the consumer drives. I've heard different answers. One answer I've heard is that the enterprise drives use "better" firmware than the consumer drives. I wasn't sure whether I should accept this explanation, especially since those famous papers from Google and CMU said that they didn't see any significant differences between the two types of drives. Also, since (until recently) the manufacturer's warranty was the same on both drive types, I was skeptical about the differences between the drives. In the last week or so, it has come to light that Seagate has a big problem with their 1TB disk drives (and others). (See http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&taxonomyName=storage&articleId=9126360&taxonomyId=19&intsrc=kc_top and http://forums.seagate.com/stx/board/message?board.id=ata_drives&thread.id=3668 for coverage of the problem) What's interesting about this is that *both* the consumer (e.g Barracuda 7200.11) and enterprise (e.g. Barracuda ES.2) versions of the Seagate drives have the same firmware problem, or at least are suffering from the same firmware bug. This makes me wonder about how different their firmware must be. I'm glad I've been buying the consumer drives because, at least as far as this problem is concerned, my life wouldn't have been improved if I had spent the extra money for the enterprise drives.

Samsung Galaxy S3 – Overview
Samsung's Galaxy S3 is probably the most eagerly awaited Android phone ever. Its predecessors the Galaxy S and Galaxy S II are the most commercially successful Android phones to date – and with Apple's iPhone 4S a mere incremental upgrade, there's a real chance for Samsung to deliver a knockout blow to its iOS competition.
So what has the Galaxy S3 brought to the fray? A 4.8in Super AMOLED screen, quad-core processor and 8MP camera, plus Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich – and a brace of new features. Read on…
Samsung Galaxy S3 – Screen
The Galaxy S3's 4.8in HD Super AMOLED screen is certainly impressive – though the pixel density of its 720p screen isn't quite up to that of Apple's Retina Display, at 306ppi versus the Retina Display's 326ppi.
Samsung Galaxy S3 – Processor and internals
Samsung's built its own processor for the Galaxy S3 – the quad-core 1.4GHz Exynos 4412. The Galaxy S3 comes in 16, 32 and 64GB flavours, with a microSD card expansion slot for cards up to 64GB. That's a lot of space.
Samsung Galaxy S3 – Camera
Rumours of a 12MP camera have proved to be unfounded – the Galaxy S3 will feature an 8MP rear-facing camera that shoots 1080p video – and like the HTC One X, the Galaxy S3 can capture stills while shooting a video.
A burst mode lets you shoot up to 20 frames at 3.3fps, while outside of burst mode it'll reload quickly enough to take three shots per second.
A Best Photo feature uses smile detection and blink detection as well as analysing exposure and blurring to pick out the best pic of the bunch.
Round the front, you get a 1.9MP camera that shoots 720p video – which is used for the Smart Stay face detection feature (of which more later).
Samsung Galaxy S3 – Design and build
Design-wise the Galaxy S3 is packed into a more curvaceous shell than its predecessor – doubtless a consequence of all those Apple lawsuits. It's available from launch in white and (exceedingly dark) blue; build quality feels more premium than the slightly flimsy Galaxy S II – despite being thinner (8.6mm against the S II's 9mm) it weighs in at 133g versus the S II's 116g.
The screen is surrounded by a thinner bezel than that of its predecessor, while the home button is now the only physical button on the front face.
Samsung Galaxy S3 – Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
Unsurprisingly, the Samsung Galaxy S3 comes with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box, skinned with Samsung's polarising TouchWiz interface – pre-loaded apps include Dropbox and Flipboard.
Samsung has packed the Galaxy S3 with extra features; Smart Stay uses the front-facing camera to detect whether or not you're looking at the screen, and prevents it from dimming accordingly.
Smart Alert triggers notifications when you pick the phone up, while Siri-baiting S Voice gives you full-featured voice control over the phone's functions. You can use it to activate the phone, for example – or even switch the camera on and take a photo.
As well as setting its sights on the iPhone's Siri, Samsung is gunning for AirPlay with the Galaxy S3's AllShare Cast TV mirroring feature. The phone's video skills also include Pop Up Play, for viewing picture-in-picture video while you're in another app.
Finally, S Beam uses the phone's NFC features for data sharing by touching your S3 with another S Beam-equipped phone – like, say the Galaxy Nexus.
Samsung Galaxy S3 – First impressions
Although it's early days yet, Samsung appears to have created in the Galaxy S3 a near-perfect blend of features and design, with a spec sheet that will happily hold its own against the onslaught of other smartphone giants like the HTC One X.
So, did Samsung just reveal the best Android phone to date? Stay tuned for our hands on, in-depth and video reviews to find out.

Each Tuesday, FADER editor Matthew Schnipper highlights an underappreciated recent release he thinks we need to know about. This week it's Hanged Up's Kicker In Tow. Listen to "Kinetic Work" below, buy Kicker In Tow here and read about it after the jump.
My taste kind of sucks I think I just realized. Because what I go back to over and over is boring shit. But good boring shit. The boring shit creme de la creme. (Why do you think I talk about Vampire Weekend all the time?) In the New York Times Gabrielle Hamilton, chef at and owner of Prune talks about eating chicken-juice soaked bread and how that tastes really good and then she says this: "I never want you to have to halt your conversation to puzzle over and admire what I've done with foam or a blowtorch, or how micro microgreens have become. Keep talking. It's only food. It's to be eaten. And it's good."
And it's like, I am saying! Then there is this dude Matt Levine who is a complete douche and says about his upcoming bar, Eldridge, after being asked why he is even doing press when they plan to be too exclusive to even let people in: "We're going to be cool because we're cool, not because we have a publicist doing press for us." Sweet. You know why else you're gonna be cool? Oh wait, you aren't going to be because you are an epic douche. What is wrong with people?
I keep listening to the new Deerhunter record. That shit is real unpretentious. "Come with me, comfort me," are my favorite lyrics. It sounds like colors but only pastels. Also I'm eating some chocolate chip cookies today. And I bought an episode of The Closer on iTunes for 1.99. Fuck my life. But you know what? I will tell you what, I never tried to be cool I just put my pants on one leg at a time and didn't trim my unibrow.
And I guess that's what's rad about a record like Kicker in Tow because there is no way that the two people in Hanged Up are like "Yo we need to make a viola/drums band that rules the world." Because you cannot think you are going to succeed with that shit. And guess what? Who knows who Hanged Up is? Like me and some other losers. Probably mostly guys too because girls are too cool for shit like this. But if I wanna get my elbows dirty or whatever and go deep, what the hell why is this so good and why did no one ever give two shits about Hanged Up? It is two people who have instruments and are like, "ok now we are a band. And also we live in Canada and we'll put out a record and go on tour because this is what bands do but we won't force it on people or anything we're just gonna do stuff and music hey viola sixth grade orchestra practice prog rock or whatever." Then someone played it for me and then I played it in the office and people were like "hey this is good," because it is but if it wasn't good it would be for the same reasons.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – With only 2 million bales of U.S. cotton production staying home to be processed and sold as retail products, trade policy has become just as important as U.S. farm policy in determining the success of the U.S. cotton industry.
This is the assessment of Gary Adams, National Cotton Council vice president for Economic and Policy Analysis, speaking at the Mid-South Farm and Gin Show in Memphis.
"In recent years, we have seen the U.S. cotton industry shift to an export-oriented industry," said Adams. "Domestic mill use has gone from 11 million bales down to 6 million bales. Our projections for the 2004 crop year are for further declines.
"At the same time, we see exports going in the other direction, in excess of 13 million bales for the current crop year. Two out of every three bales produced in the United States are being exported as raw cotton. So trade policy is going to have a direct impact on the demand that we see for U.S. cotton."
Trade policy has and will continue to have an impact on domestic textile mills, noted Adams. "Over the last decade, U.S. imports of textile products have surged. For the current calendar year, we figure it to top out at 20 million bale equivalents, which is larger that the entire U.S. cotton crop."
On the other hand, "much of what is coming back in as textile products is U.S. cotton that went out as raw cotton."
Adams noted that the United States annually "ships out the equivalent of about 5 million bales of yarn, thread and fabric, with the primary destination being Mexico and other countries of this hemisphere."
WTO negotiations
The relationship between the U.S. cotton industry and some of its foreign customers is strained at best, especially after the most recent meeting of trade ministers in Cancun, Mexico in September, 2003. "It was supposed to be a mid-term review of the WTO negotiations and to set forth a framework to outline the general negotiating objectives," Adams said.
"Brazil, India and China emerged as leaders of a group of developing economies, whose purpose was to oppose the proposal put forth by the developed economies," Adams said. "The groups became known as the Group of 21, who pushed for a reduction in the subsidy or support programs by developed countries without increasing their market access or changing the programs they had in place.
"To complicate the matter, in the weeks leading up to the Cancun meeting, four west African cotton countries floated a proposal within the WTO that sought the immediate elimination of the cotton program in the United States and the European Union.
"They asked for compensatory payment for damages they say were caused by the programs," he said. "This should have been discarded, but when the agenda was put together for the Cancun session, a cotton-based, stand alone initiative roughly based on what the west Africans were asking for, was included.
"At the same time this was being pushed, there was also an orchestrated campaign in the press from groups attacking the U.S. program and putting out lots of disinformation. Once the press found out that the west African initiative was in the Cancun agenda, other media outlets, such as the New York Times, picked up the ball and ran with it. From the Council's perspective, we are deeply concerned that there was a concerted effort to single out cotton from the rest of agriculture."
The Council countered the assault, making sure that the U.S. Congress and other agricultural interests "understood the full scope of the world fiber markets, and that it wasn't the U.S. cotton program that played the largest role in the developments in the world fiber markets.
"We really found that many countries came to Cancun without the willingness to negotiate. At the end of the day, we're all aware of what happened.
Talks could be restarted this year, according to Adams. "The chairman is talking about a possible meeting in Geneva in April, to bring ministers back together.
The Brazilian challenge of U.S. cotton programs filed in 2002 is "a kitchen sink approach," he said. The Brazilians are complaining about crop insurance, the export credit guarantee program, the marketing loan, decoupled payments from both the current and last farm bill, and disaster payments.
"In a nutshell, they're arguing that the U.S. program payments are not truly decoupled and do distort plantings, and that the presence of these programs has allowed the United States to gain an unfair market share and has subsequently depressed world prices which has harmed the Brazilian cotton industry."
The challenge was spurred on by low cotton prices in 2002, according to Adams. "We've stressed that we've seen low prices and at the same time, we've seen prices recover substantially, while the U.S. program has essentially remained unchanged. This says that there are a lot of other factors that affect the world cotton markets.
"Three hearings have been held and the best information we have right now is that a decision is expected sometime in May or June.
While outsiders might see the Brazilian WTO complaint as "just a cotton case," Adams said. "Some of their findings could apply to other commodities down the road."
China's accession into the WTO created a quota for annual imports of raw cotton of roughly 4 million bales. "Our biggest concern is that they have allocated a significant portion of that quota on the condition that the products produced from that cotton be turned around into the export markets," Adams noted.
"We also have to be concerned about the surge of textile products from China, which is continuing to undermine and erode what has been U.S. cotton's largest customer base, the U.S. textile industry. Within the WTO, there is the ability to apply safeguard mechanisms if the increase in imports is disruptive to the market. We are now about 10 months away from all quotas being eliminated, and we do expect the pressure from imports to cause further pressure on the domestic industry."
According to Adams, one of the concerns the NCC has with the new Central America Free Trade Agreement are loopholes which allow third country participation. "Essentially Chinese products can move through Central America, then enter the United States quota-free.
"We are opposed to CAFTA in its current form, and we are going to work closely with the Administration to address and improve some of the textile provisions."

Next Generation Consoles Likely Not Compatible
Subject: Editorial, General Tech | February 16, 2013 - 02:08 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: consoles, consolitis, pc gaming
If you really enjoy an Xbox or Playstation game, better hope your console does not die: it is likely that nothing else will play it. This news comes from a statement made by Blake Jorgensen, CFO of Electronic Arts. Clearly EA is a trusted partner of all console developers and not just an anonymous tipster.
You mean, Devil May Stop Crying?
I tend to rant about this point quite often. For a market so devoted to the opinion that video games are art, the market certainly does not care about its preservation as art. There is always room for consumable and even disposable entertainment, but the difference with art is that it cannot be substituted with another piece of content.
There would be a difference if someone magically replaced every copy of Schindler's List, including the vaulted masters, with The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. I could safely assume that the vast majority of the audience for either film was not just browsing the Holocaust movie genre. I would expect the viewer was seeking out the one or the other for a specific reason.
This is incompatible with the console ecosystem by its design. The point of the platform is to be disposable and its content is along for the ride while it lasts. They often deliver the console for less than their parts and labor fees: research, development, and marketing costs regardless. The business model is to eliminate as many big fees as possible and then jack up the price of everything else ten bucks here and there. Over time you will not be given a bargain, over time you will give them more than they made you think you saved. They then spend this extra money keeping content exclusively under their control, not yours. Also, profits... give or take.
Again, there is always room for consumable entertainment. The consoles are designed to be very convenient, but not cheap and not suitable for timeless art. Really, the only unfortunate element is how these impairments are viewed as assets and all the while examples such as this one dance around the background largely shrugged off without being pieced together.
As for your favorite game? Who knows, maybe you will get lucky and it will be remade on some other platform for you to purchase again. You might be lucky, it might even be available on the PC.
Video News
My two and a half year old PS3 died recently, due, I believe, to poor quality components. As a result I have upgraded my PC's graphics card and registered with Steam. All the games I play from now on will be with me for as long as I choose.
I have also downloaded a PS2 emulator allowing me to play all my PS2 games again, something I haven't been able to do for 2 years despite Sony's initial promises of backward compatibility for the PS3.
The greed of console manufacturers will cost them dear in the long term.
the PS3 WAS backwards compatible... for many many many MANY years. Sony finally bailed on the tech to make the system cheaper. If you missed out, that's not Sony's fault.
If you're going to whine about something, make it your inability to foster a modicum of common sense.
The PS3 was compatible for a year or two, not many years as you claim. I got one in 2007/8 I believe, and it wasn't backwards compatible
It could be that technology is just changing. Backwards compatibility is part of why the PS3 was so expensive at launch. So it would appear that they are working on non-hardware back-compat systems. In fact, if this is the route they go, they can support any previously released game on any upcoming hardware- not exactly the worst solution.
This goes back to my initial problem with OnLive: When it's gone it's gone.
You have no recourse when they decide to pull the content from the service because they go bankrupt or lose the license or whatever. Well, no option outside of Grand Theft Supercomputer.
It is impossible for a museum or someone to preserve the art, because the platform is nebulus itself. Same with these proprietary consoles, especially ones which wrap the game disks in DRM. Even if you could emulate it after the patents or even copyrights expire, it's still a felony because you needed to break the encryption.
Especially when you consider Sony -- it will only do: less than it did.
It will be curious to see how the upcoming Steam box and kickstarter-financed Ouya consoles fare against the established names. If they do well enough maybe they will force a change in attitude in the industry.
Did anyone really think there would be backward compatibility when changing from the cell processor to x86_64? Could luck to sony emulating that 7 cell processors.
i find myself looking at my very first console- the PS3, and all of a sudden wondering- what will happen when the new one opens?
the ps3 is the centerpiece of my home theatre experience- if they shut PSN down to move to the new console- well i am back to square one again.
will i move to the ps4- highly unlikely
Gaming was nice on the ps3 but it was only one aspect of it, the blu ray, the music hook, movies etc- all of it did work. but for it to be throwaway item? not sure if i am used to that yet.
Flower seeds can be added to the mix as well and would
work well with dwarf zinnias, marigold and bright pansies '
but what you add it up to you. Once you add the edging you will have an attractive area to show off with pride.
There are an estimated 20,000 private water mill sites in the country, of which only a few dozen have installed turbine
Feel free to surf to my blog miniature miniature japanese zen garden design (Declan)
This is bad for business, there is not going to be a high volume of next generation console sales if there not compatible, I think.
Backwards compatibility is a nice feature to have. Unfortunately it has a tendency to be incredibly expensive and flaky as well.
Part of the reason the PS3 was so expensive at launch was because they had basically stuffed a whole PS2 inside it. The 360 is only marginally compatible with original Xbox titles and many of them have glitches that totally wreck the gameplay.
I'd look at the move to AMD64 as a good thing for consoles. It means less headaches for cross-platform development because the architectures are the same. Because they will share a lot in common with PCs, hopefully this means PC gamers will stop getting half-assed console ports. But I won't hold my breath just yet.
Long story short, I don't think the lack of backwards compatibility will significantly hurt their sales because consoles are all about games and as long as they keep producing good, new games people will buy them.

For the Chapel Choir, the tour in South Africa in May has been scheduled in lieu of a March tour within the United States.
The tour will run Saturday, May 9, through Tuesday, May 19. The performance itinerary will include performances at churches, two high schools, an AIDS clinic and an inner-city ministry, and with the Stellenbosch University Choir, in communities including Cape Town, Johannesburg, Soweto and Stellenbosch.

The Symphonette's members are selected each year from the college symphony orchestra. The Symphonette is directed by Richard Piippo, associate professor of music and director of orchestral activities at Hope.
The Chapel Choir and Symphonette each maintain active local performance schedules. Both groups have also made numerous radio and television appearances, including the nationally televised "Hour of Power" from Garden Grove Church in California.

Dear Bankruptcy Adviser,
I am divorced. I lost the added income from my ex-husband. I was working, but now the only income I have is a small disability check. My home is in foreclosure, and I have had to use my credit cards for living expenses. Can I file Chapter 7 bankruptcy and save my home, or is it too late?
Continue Reading Below
-- Jeanne
Dear Jeanne, Sorry about your situation. I hope you can keep your home; I just don't see many options unless you can bring in more monthly income.
You state that you want to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy to save your home. This will not stop the foreclosure, only delay it -- in some cases, only for a month or two.
When you are delinquent on your mortgage and then file Chapter 7 bankruptcy, it stops the foreclosure procedure. The lender can make a request to the court to remove the house from bankruptcy protection, also known as a "relief from stay." Getting this relief means the lender can continue with the foreclosure process.
The lenders are usually very efficient in requesting that relief. Some lenders file the motion within a week or two of receiving the bankruptcy notification. The lender sets the motion for a hearing and provides evidence that you are delinquent on the mortgage. You don't have much of a defense against the motion unless you are able to prove you are current on your payments.
Each state has specific foreclosure procedures the lender must follow. In some cases, people file bankruptcy long before a foreclosure sale date has been set. The lender cannot speed up the foreclosure process simply because the homeowner filed bankruptcy.
You can also work on a loan modification with the lender throughout the bankruptcy. Some lenders may wait until receiving the relief from stay, but others will work with you during and after filing this motion.
However, without additional income, such as alimony from your ex-husband or by finding renters, you are likely to lose your home. A modest disability check probably won't be enough for the lender to approve a loan modification.
Sorry to provide more bad news. The only good news is that if you live in a state in which you are liable for any remaining mortgage balance after foreclosure, the bankruptcy filing would eliminate that liability. It is hoped you can find the additional income, so you can afford a modified mortgage payment and keep the house.
