The Disciplined Disciple Compiler (DDC)
Disciple is a dialect of Haskell that uses strict evaluation as the default, and supports arbitrary destructive update, effect and closure typing, type directed field projections and allied functional goodness. Many Haskell programs are also Disciple programs, or will run with minor changes. Our target applications are the ones that you always find yourself writing C programs for, because existing functional languages are too slow, use too much memory, or don't let you update the data that you need to.
DDC is still in the "research prototype" stage, meaning that it will compile some programs if you are nice to it, but expect compiler panics and missing features. However, it is under active development and it is becoming more stable on a daily basis.
State of Play
This section records what the DDC developers are actively working on. If you're hacking on something DDC related then by all means add yourself here. Records are dropped off if they haven't been updated for more than a month.
Ben (benl23) -- updated 5th August 2010
- I've rewritten the core type checker, and am currently replacing calls to the old from Core.Reconstruct. This will require cleaning up the lambda lifter.
- Once that's done we should be able to check the core program from just after Core.Thread through to Core.ToSea?.
Erik de Castro Lopo (m3ga) -- updated 24th Jun 2010
- I'm pretty much stalled on all the current bugs and waiting for Ben to finish the refactoring at which time I'll have another crack at them.
- Started work on an LLVM backend. The idea is to have a -via-llvm command line option which would then generate object files using LLVM. The LLVM generated object files will be compatible with the object files generated using the C backend for easier debugging. Another goal for the backend is to make it easier to bootstrap the compiler (compile DDC with DDC) and to port the compiler to new platforms and architectures.
- Improvements to DDC's library.
Syntactic differences to Haskell?
The Language Definition is still evolving, but the wiki should be in sync with the development branch.
- Compiler Commentary?
- Development Builds
- Build Bots and Servers
- Building the Code documentation
- Syntax Highlighting?

Albert Henri Roux OBE, KFO
Chef Albert Roux OBE, KFO is head of the famous cooking dynasty behind such establishments as Le Gavroche which was the first restaurant in the UK to be awarded three Michelin Stars.
Albert Henri Roux was born on 8 October 1935 at Semur-en-Brionnais, in the region of Saone et Loire in France.
At the age of 14 he began his life-long passion for the culinary arts when he started his career as an apprentice patissier.
As a callow youth of 18 years, he came to the UK to spend time as a commis de cuisine in the old hierarchical environment within Nancy Astor's country home at Cliveden. Moving up the culinary ladder, he spent one year at the French Embassy in London, followed by his first tenure as a chef at the home of Sir Charles Clore in Belgravia. He was then called up to fulfil his Military Service in Algeria, during which time he was invited on occasion to cook for the Officers' Mess.
On leaving the Military, Albert took up the post of sous chef at the British Embassy in Paris, where he spent two years before leaving for the UK once again. He was employed as chef to Major Peter Cazelet at the family estate at Fairlawne, Tonbridge in Kent.
He stayed with the Cazelet family for eight happy years. It was the Cazelet family and many of their friends who encouraged and financially helped Albert to open his own restaurant Le Gavroche, which finally he did with his brother Michel in 1967.
Awards include:
- 1968 Elected by his peers as Maitre Cuisinier de France
- Chevalier du Merite Agricole
- A founder member of the Academie Culinaire de GB, now renamed as the Academy of Culinary Arts
- 1984 The Waterside Inn won the Catey Award for the best menu of the year
- 1986 Honorary Doctorate of Science, Council for National Academic Awards, Bournemouth University
- 1987 Officier du Merite Agricole
- Honorary PhD, Council for National Academic Awards
- Whilst still in charge of Le Gavroche, the restaurant won the prestigious Catey Award for Best Restaurant of the Year
- 1994 Honorary Professor Hospitality Management, Bournemouth University
- 1995 Winner of the Catey Lifetime Achievement Award (with brother Michel)
- 1999 Waterford Wedgwood Hospitality Award
- 2005 Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur
- 2007-8 AA Hospitality, AA Lifetime Achievement Award
- 2008 Winner of Silver Catey Award (with brother Michel)
In May 2019, Albert Roux was awarded the CIS 2019 Lifetime Excellence Award.

Liberty College and Career Academy CEO Tom Alexander pitches the charter school as "not your daddy's trade school," and about 70 middle-school students can say they participated last week in something that's "not your mama's summer camp."
Each middle school was offered up to six slots per pathway at the four-day camps. Students received an overview of career pathways available at the career academy, such as graphic arts, teaching and health occupations.
"The schools set their criteria for who they sent. Our only expectation was that they send us kids who would be reasonably serious and had good discipline…," Alexander said. "Part of the big idea is to keep the momentum going. If you have young people who are excited about coming out here in the seventh-grade, then they're going to remember it... By the time they get to 10th grade, they've gotten three doses of the cool things you can do out here."
The camp was a first for the academy. Alexander said they began with a small operation and hope to expand it in the future. This year, the 8-11:30 a.m. instruction coincided with summer remediation, so school buses transported students to the Airport Road campus.
After introductions to their disciplines and overviews on Monday, when students learned what skills, training and employment opportunities come with each field, they rolled up their sleeves and got to work Tuesday.
For culinary-arts students, that meant preparing snacks for their peers on subsequent days. For construction students, it meant using nail guns on plywood. And for graphic-arts students, it meant working with prototypes of Bradwell Institute's letterhead.
In the structural aircraft support classroom, Savannah Technical College instructor Joseph DeLong taught students how to rivet.
Both rising seventh-graders at Midway Middle School Terrence Gordon and Destiny Black concentrated while riveting on a practice sheet of metal, and they said they were enjoying the camp.
Nearby, Snelson-Golden Middle School seventh-grader Clayton Oliver said the experience was different from his expectations.
"I didn't expect hands on," Clayton said. "I figured we would do worksheets. It's pretty cool."
He wants to attend the academy as an associate once he becomes eligible.
"I'm up for anything, especially having to do with aircraft," he added, explaining that his grandfather's work both as a pilot and an engineer inspired him to pursue work in aviation.
Like Oliver, Lewis Frasier Middle School eighth-grader Randy Johnson also knew prior to attending the career camp which field he was interested in because his older sister and brother both attended the academy.
Johnson and several other students oohed and aahed in the welding room as instructor Barry Kennedy fused together two pieces of metal with a blue-flamed blow torch.
"I think it's exciting being able to work safely with fire, and the ability to find a job that suits my characteristics," Johnson said. "Me, personally, I like to play with fire and my mother told me not to, but since we found a safe way to do it and it will get me a job, I think it's, like, perfect."
Liberty College and Career Academy CEO Tom Alexander pitches the charter school as "not your daddy's trade school," and about 70 middle-school students can say they participated last week in something that's "not your mama's summer camp."

The way the quiz was formulated was different from the usual, and it definitely caused some frustration (one player wrote "Maybe it is because I was awake for about 2 hours last night doing some DBA work for a client, but I did not even understand the question that was being asked. Even after looking in the Library to see the Topic/Summary, my co-worker and myself are still confused on what exactly was being asked." and another: "This question was confusing. I assumed that the requirements were the requirements of the code that was being called. In other words, if all the conditions are met the code will work properly, not does this code enforce all the conditions.").
Our very smart and dedicated reviewers caught many issues with this quiz, and we spent a fair amount of time discussing ways to tighten up the quiz (and I followed almost all of their advice). Yet, in the end, we were "defeated" (that is, an issue was identified in the way the quiz was scored) by an edge case regarding string-indexed arrays - which was covered in the 22 March quiz.
Several players pointed out that choice 9991 (the choice that was scored as correct and stated that no requirements applied) would require an integer-indexed array, since the algorithm would not correctly display all elements in the collection if one of the index values was the empty string.
How right they are, as one player demonstrated with a script:
SQL: CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE plch_pkg AS 2 TYPE my_collection IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(10) INDEX BY VARCHAR2(20); 3 index_type VARCHAR2(20); 4 END plch_pkg; 5 / Package created SQL: CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE plch_proc(numbers_in IN plch_pkg.my_collection) IS 2 l_index plch_pkg.index_type%TYPE := numbers_in.FIRST; 3 BEGIN 4 WHILE (l_index IS NOT NULL) LOOP 5 DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line(numbers_in(l_index)); 6 l_index := numbers_in.NEXT(l_index); 7 END LOOP; 8 END; 9 / Procedure created SQL: DECLARE 2 l plch_pkg.my_collection; 3 BEGIN 4 l('b') := 'b'; 5 dbms_output.put_line('without null index'); 6 plch_proc(l); 7 l('') := 'a'; 8 dbms_output.put_line('with null index'); 9 plch_proc(l); 10 END; 11 / without null index b with null index PL/SQL procedure successfully completedAnother players also wrote to say that "There is a requirement that the collection be non-empty, but no requirement that the collection is initialized (relevant for nested tables and varrays)." This is true. We did not include as a requirement in the list the need for a collection to be initialized. And we did not specify that you should only consider the requirements in the list.
What's a quiz administrator to do?
1. My biggest problem with this quiz is the possible complications for future quizzes. It is one (interesting) thing to know that an empty string as index value can cause odd behavior. It is quite another thing to have to account for this scenario in every quiz on string-indexed arrays. Seems like an unnecessary complication. So I plan to add to the assumptions for the daily PL/SQL quiz that unless otherwise mentioned, all index values of string-indexed collections have a non-NULL length. Any objections to my doing this?
2. Add to this quiz a statement to the effect that only those requirements listed in the question are to be considered. That is, there might be other requirements (such as "The nested table or varray must be initialized.") that could apply, but are not to be considered in this quiz.
3. Give credit for a correct answer on 9991 to all players who submit feedback indicating they marked this choice as incorrect because of the possibility of an empty string index value. I very much doubt that many players recalled this edge case and applied it to this quiz, but if you did, let us know and we will give you credit.
4. Give credit to any player who marked all choices as incorrect and submit feedback indicating that they did so because we did not include a requirement specifying initialization of nested tables and varrays. I say "all choices as incorrect" because if you thought of this additional requirement, then none of the choices could be correct (only the first even includes the "must be associative array" requirement).
Did I miss anything?

Diane English, Creator of "Murphy Brown"
Diane English is an Emmy-winning film and television producer, director, and screenwriter. She is best known for creating the show Murphy Brown, which ran on CBS from 1988 to 1998.
English was born in Buffalo, N.Y., in 1948. Her father was an electrician at the Niagara Mohawk Power Plant and her mother, a former singer, worked as a bookkeeper. Upon visiting New York City for the first time as a twelve years old, English decided she was destined for life in the big city.
After discovering her talent for playwriting as an undergraduate at Buffalo State University, English moved to New York in 1971. She went to work for New York's PBS station WNET, working her way up from a secretary to associate director of the station's experimental division. In 1980, she received her first writer credit, on PBS's first made-for-TV movie, The Lathe of Heaven, and earned a Writer's Guild of America Award nomination.
Following this success, English moved to Los Angeles. Once there, English truly hit it big—first as a writer/producer for Foley Square and My Sister Sam, and soon after, as the creator of Murphy Brown. English's work on Murphy Brown earned her an Emmy for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series and two more for Outstanding Comedy Series. With her former production company, English went on to produce a host of television series, including Love & War, Double Rush, and Living in Captivity. In 2008, she saw a 14-year dream come to fruition when she finished raising the money to produce the film The Women, for which she also wrote the screenplay and directed.
In addition to her Emmys, English has been honored with two Writers Guild of America Awards, a Genie Award from American Women in Radio and Television, a Freedom-to-Write-Award from PEN Center USA West, and the Commissioners' Awards from the National Commission on Working Women for her positive portrayal of working women on television.

China's central bank has been talking tough on currency reform while it has also intensified market intervention, highlighting the fine line it must walk in trying to liberalize the yuan.
Critics, including the United States, see the intervention as another sign that Beijing is dragging its feet in letting market forces determine the yuan's exchange rate.
But the wall of money being printed by China's trading partners under their super-loose monetary policies is flooding emerging markets with speculative cash, which has put the yuan under strong upward pressure this year.
"It's difficult to make the currency manipulation argument," said Zhang Zhiwei, chief China economist for Nomura Securities in Hong Kong. "There are a lot of things that central bankers are doing nowadays that are not really regarded as best practice; we are in uncharted waters these days and everything is relative."
The yuan is a closely managed currency that is allowed to trade 1 percent either side of a midpoint set by the central bank each day. However, Beijing is steadily relaxing its tight grip on the currency as it tries to restructure the world's second-biggest economy away from a reliance on exports and towards greater domestic consumption.
(Read More: Yuan as a World Currency? Getting There Fast)
Critics, including many Western governments, argue that Beijing is not opening its markets quickly enough and some suggest moves to date have lacked any real substance. For its part, China fears that opening up too fast will destabilize the economy.
Many dealers thought the central bank was signalling a loosening of its control of the market in the fourth quarter of 2012 when it largely abstained from its traditional role of buying up foreign exchange.
Even when companies refused to exchange dollars for yuan within the daily permitted trading band, prompting a collapse in trading volumes, the regulator stayed on the sidelines.
But 2013 has seen the return of a nanny central bank as the amount of dollars entering the economy picked up. China's foreign currency reserves, already the world's largest by far, swelled by $128 billion in the first quarter, the biggest quarterly increase since the second quarter of 2011.
(Read More: How the Yuan Could Take the Dollar's Crown)
"Recent resumption of intervention on a large scale is troubling," the U.S. Treasury said in a semi-annual currency report issued on April 12.
The report argued that China was once again keeping the yuan at an artificially low level by buying up foreign currency. It also criticised China's unwillingness to disclose its intervention in a transparent manner.
As the People's Bank of China (PBOC) was intervening, central bankers suggested China remained firmly on the path of reform.
Deputy governor Yi Gang told an International Monetary Fund forum in Washington on April 17 that the time had come to widen the yuan's trading band again. A day later, he said conditions were ripe to further open up China's capital account.
(Read More: US Concern on China Currency Fades as Yuan Grinds Higher)
Yi's statements followed similar comments by a more junior PBOC official that were given prominent play in the official English-language China Daily.
The comments received less coverage in Chinese-language state media, which some dealers said suggested that the reform talk was political gesturing for foreign consumption.
Genuinely Bullish
Adding to the interventionist criticism, the PBOC set its daily midpoint at a series of record highs in the run-up to the G-20 meeting in Washington late last week, prompting speculation it was pushing the currency higher to head off potential criticism that it was undervalued.
"The slew of record-high midpoints are contrary to the PBOC's repeated pledge to keep the yuan stable," said a trader at a European bank in Shanghai. "Given this lack of transparency, lots of speculative talk is circulating."
The central bank let the yuan appreciate 2.36 basis points between April 12 to 17, setting record highs along the way, compared with a rise of only 1.54 basis points for all of 2012.
Those dates spanned the publication of the Treasury currency report, a visit to China by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and the G-20 meeting - events that have served as platforms for criticism of China currency controls in the past.
On the other hand, the yuan has continued to set record highs since the end of the summit, and PBOC data shows that corporates, both onshore and off, remain genuinely bullish on the currency.
What Foreigners Want
Another quandary for Beijing is that liberalization of the yuan, while economically beneficial in the long run, could impede in the near term the promotion of the usage of the currency in international trade.
Getting trading partners to invoice transactions in yuan would reduce exchange rate risk for Chinese firms and reduce the need to continue accumulating foreign currency reserves, which were equivalent to about 40 percent of China's GDP in 2012.
But profit-seeking companies are less interested in helping China reduce exchange rate risk than helping their own bottom lines, and when the yuan fell against the dollar in the first half of 2012 as the Greek credit crisis roiled global markets, companies backed off from holding yuan assets or settling trade in yuan.
"It's good to maintain at least a stable currency with some small appreciation," said Patrick Wu, head of yuan trading at JPMorgan.
"Today the renminbi obviously is outperforming. The reason is they want to show a good gesture to corporates saying, 'Come here, use our currency for settlement'."
This is not the same as liberalization, he said, but for the time being it is necessary.

IOC asked to probe court interference in Brazil
Send a link to a friend
[February 08, 2013]
The ousted presidents of two Brazilian sports federations have filed complaints with the IOC claiming they were removed from their posts after illegal interference from local courts.
The Brazilian ice sports federation and the badminton federation claim the court rulings are a clear violation of the Olympic Charter and say it could eventually lead to a suspension of the Brazilian Olympic Committee ahead of the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro.
The Brazilian committee denied any wrongdoing and dismissed any threat of suspension, saying the presidents were axed because of third-party lawsuits related to alleged irregularities in their administration. It vehemently said there hasn't been government interference.
The International Olympic Committee confirmed it received the complaints but said the federations first must try to address them with the Brazilian committee and their international federations.
The local federations told The Associated Press this week that they are seeking "relief" from the IOC because they are not being helped by the Brazilian Olympic Committee. They accuse the national body of not doing enough to preserve the federations' autonomy as demanded by the Olympic Charter. They allege the committee has been working against the local federations and even took part in a lawsuit against one of them.
"This is a simple case of impermissible government interference in Olympic affairs," said Eric Maleson, the removed president of the ice sports federation. "The court action in Brazil should greatly alarm and distress the IOC and members of the Olympic movement everywhere."
The Brazilian ice sports federation was the only federation voting against the re-election of Carlos Nuzman as president of the Brazilian committee last year. Nuzman is also the president of the 2016 Rio organizing committee.
The suspension of a national committee is usually a last-resort action by the IOC, which tries to make sure the alleged irregularities are resolved before it has to get involved.
But the Brazilian federations said it's already time for the IOC to take action, citing the suspension in December of India's Olympic committee for government interference in its election process.
[to top of second column]
"With the IOC's recent suspension of the Indian Olympic Association, there can be little doubt that the IOC takes government interference and violations of the Olympic Charter very seriously," Maleson's complaint to the IOC said. "The court action in Brazil is government interference akin to India and a clear violation of the Olympic Charter."
Maleson was removed from his post last year after a Rio de Janeiro court named an interim president to take over the federation. The ruling came after a former athlete sued the ice sports federation and accused Maleson of financial irregularities. Maleson said he has the evidence to prove that the federation has always been in good standing financially, and argues that since the case is ongoing, he shouldn't have been removed until a final ruling is made.
The former president of the badminton federation, Celso Wolf, was removed following a lawsuit by a former coach alleging irregularities with the entity's finances. The case is also ongoing, but the judge ordered new elections and another president was elected.
The IOC said it will not get directly involved with the complaints, calling them an "internal issue" at the moment.
"The Olympic Charter is meant to provide guidance to stakeholders of the Olympic Movement," the IOC said in a statement sent to the AP. "However, any specific issue concerning a national federation shall be dealt with at the appropriate level
-- the directly competent sports organizations to which it is affiliated, that is the National Olympic Committee and the International Federation concerned."
The international federations contacted by the AP said they are aware of the ongoing situation but are waiting for Brazil's legal system to rule on the cases.

What happens when wetlands get too wet? Uncover the impact of rising sea levels in South Carolina.
Have a question?
How would you prefer us to contact you?
By EmailBy Phone
As global warming pushes sea levels higher, coastal wetlands start to suffer—and so do we, as our homes and cities flood more frequently.
We need wetlands. They feed and filter our drinking water, hold floodwater at bay, and provide a home to an array of plants and animals. Help researchers understand how rising sea level is reshaping one important wetland environment: the hardwood swamps of South Carolina.
You'll explore the Hobcaw Barony, a protected forest that can only be fully experienced by research teams like yours (not the general public). On the coast of the wildlife-rich Winyah Bay, just below the city of Myrtle Beach, hike this exceptional landscape on to tag and identify trees, measure water quality, and count the fireflies twinkling at night.
Your work will help the scientists uncover what climate change could mean for the plants, animals, and people that depend on these wetlands. By understanding these changes, the scientists can recommend the best way to protect this critical wetland forest and others like it around the world.
Global sea level is expected to rise up to four feet by the end of the century.
Help understand "ghost forests"—areas where the increased salinity of the water has killed off every living plant.
The rising ocean is a big deal. As the U.S. government's recent National Climate Assessment reports, "nearly five million Americans and hundreds of billions of dollars of property are located in areas that are less than four feet above the local high-tide level."
Salinity and leaf litter impact water in the swamp.
For forest wetlands like those around Winyah Bay, South Carolina, the toll could be huge. Researchers have already observed "ghost forests" forming—areas where the increased salinity of the water has killed off every living plant. If these forests die, they can't sequester carbon, or provide homes to plants and animals, or slow down the storm surges that increasingly threaten our coasts.
But the forests you'll study are, for the most part, still in good health, which makes them important to understand. You'll help scientists estimate how much carbon these forests currently hold, measure the quality of the soil and the water, count fireflies if the season is right, and record data using a mobile app.
Your work will lay the foundation for long-term monitoring of the forest, which means scientists can start to disentangle how various changes in the environment are reshaping it—and what those changes mean for its future.
Hobcaw Barony, 16,000 acres of protected forest on a spit of land between the Atlantic Ocean and Winyah Bay, has a fascinating history. It is dotted with archaeological sites, including the remnants of 14 rice plantations that occupied the land from the 1730s until the Civil War. After they were emancipated, many of the African former slaves settled in villages in the area and continued to farm rice. Today, the barony has African American cemeteries, some dating back to the Revolutionary War, still in use.
The land passed into private hands in 1905, and became a dedicated research and education forest in the 1960s. Since then, the public has had limited access, so you will get to explore reaches of the forests that few other visitors have gotten to see. Hobcaw has amazing bird life and a beach where sea turtles nest—if you want, you can get help with early-morning sea-turtle nest counts in your free time.
This is a summary:
Get to know these forest wetlands intimately. Under the guidance of expert researchers, you will:
In your free time, have casual talks with the researchers about their work or simply take in the forest views. You'll also get to visit the barony's Discovery Center, which houses exhibits on the forests' natural and human history.
A volunteer takes a water sample.
Dr. Chow began his career researching drinking water in California's Sacramento Delta. In the swamps of South Carolina, he explores how sea level rise and forest fires affect the wetland's water.
Live and work on the Hobcaw Barony, a stunning expanse of protected forest. The team will stay in one of two research accommodations on the property: the recently built Clemson Baruch Institute dormitory (also known as the Clemson Cottage) or the dorms at the University of South Carolina Baruch Marine Lab. The Clemson Cottage has four bedrooms, and the marine lab dorm has eight. Both accommodations have shared rooms and bathrooms, as well as common dining and living areas.
A cook will prepare all meals, but team can help plan menus. Expect to enjoy American and regional staples, like grits and barbeque.

You now listenin to a different type of boss
Abstract, they cut him from a different type of clothe
Jers say that mouths want a different type of soft
Only started when I was lookin at different type of lofts
Told em, I'm a don, show me somethin with a pool next
I need four bathrooms, it ain't gotta be a duplex
White tee, boots yes, see 'em in a suit next
Or somethin European shirt lookin like a two X
Runnin for the ball like I'm Plaxico Burress
Or in Cancun breakin a back on a brunette
Gimmicks down pat like they rehearse that much
I don't response to a sublime, it ain't hurt that much
Yea I scream out Jers that much
Cause these other dudes fightin for New York like it's worth that much
And these sitcom niggaz caress and hold bitches
To them they 'golden girls', to me, they old bitches
Chicks lookin at G-Ucons lookin to cheat you
Owe a nigga money, you know he lookin to see you!
Niggaz lookin to beat you
Fiend treat the hood like its Saw part two, cause they just lookin for needles
I wake up grateful that I'm breathin first
Cause dudes'll kill you, they don't need a reason first!
These niggaz'll still hit em
They know the hood is too poor to hire CSI, and Gil Grissom
Nowadays, gotta keep a blue steel wit em
I know about snakes, cause I used to deal wit em
Used to give my heart, used to rob, steal, wit em
Let 'em meet mom, share my last meal wit em
To rap now, you ain't gotta have skill wit em
Just appeal...witta lil bit a' rhythm
A dude has that and ready to attack y'all
You gotta kiss ass or else you get blackballed
If you don't like niggaz, still give 'em dap y'all
I swear to God this hip hop shit is a trap y'all
I don't even remember how I used to act y'all
Something wrong wit the math, I know I can add y'all
I came out screamin Desert Storm everyday
And soon as I stop, he don't wanna play
Stacks sayin what you did for Clue, shit I just laced it
I didn't even know that dude was doin his tape, shiiiitt
He don't want the fame no more, its fuckin wit me
Don't hear Reasonable Doubt the same more
I can't listen to Blueprint (Naaw!)
Got a resentment toward Hov, tryin to hate on em, throwin in my two cent
They say don't bite the hand that feeds you
Even if I wanted to, I can't, no teeth to
Don't get me wrong, I still got love for Clue and Hov
But they both rich, so what that gotta do wit Joe?!
I gotta bring home food for Joe...Trey that is...
Like, fuck why I say that shit?!
See, girl why you take that shit, but it's just how I feel, so naw, don't erase
that shit
Child supports a bitch, but I take care of mine
But the Lord just say I ain't there for mine
And the judge I look at (what about?)
Don't wanna hear, nor do he understand that things got pushed back
I'm sittin here with all this anger, stop me
He's like what about this thing called a Gangsta Party?
Must think I live life like it's a Gangsta Party!
I'm 10 seconds away from a gangsta robbery, nigga!!
No four leaf clover, I can't luck up
Feel like removin the seeds and gettin fucked up
Feelin quick temper, somebody bound to get fucked up
I feel like everyone around me's a fuck up
Ratchet on me, I'm screamin out What What
Bout to live life like my last buck's up
I ain't got time to run around stuck up
Not when I just seen a group of niggaz gettin stuck up
So you damn right, I'm on my grind
Look like some shit is on my mind niggaz
Need to talk, but nobody to turn to
So I go to horoscopes in the Jersey Journal
It's always somethin bad, I don't know why I read it
Then I play it off, its fake, I don't believe it!
Smoking like two packs a day
Still got about five cartridges stashed away
And that's just were I'm at today
I'll be in a better place if I just pass away (Sike!)
Just hop in the casket and lay
That's old school mouse, move on, put the past away

Medicine in Mexico by Alec Morse
Walking through a low income community outside of Guadalajara, having just provided free medical care with a team of doctors to the appreciative residents of the area, I find myself surrounded by roofless homes, crumbling walls and beautiful people. I can't help but think back to the life I grew up with in California: my own bed, my own car and food on the table. I understand how different it is to the lives that these good people know, and I recount the steps that brought me to this community. After receiving a degree in business, I decided that I wanted to pursue a career in medicine and become a medical doctor.
Volunteering in Mexico
By going to Guadalajara, I strived to gain a better understanding of the Mexican culture as well as immerse myself in the Spanish language. An added bonus to working in Mexico was the decreased regulation within the hospitals, allowing me to actually work with patients and participate in surgeries under the supervision of trained doctors.
This was the work I expected to be doing in Guadalajara. I anticipated studying Spanish, practicing my suturing techniques, and working alongside doctors in two different hospitals. However, the experience that awaited me was more meaningful, informative, enlightening and incredible than I ever would have imagined. Never would I have seen myself providing free medical care to such warm, welcoming people who have no other way of receiving medical services. I did not expect to make so many friends in a foreign country and be treated with such respect by everyone with whom I interacted. What's more, working with Projects Abroad was an absolute delight and I never felt like I was being left in the cold.
Arriving in Guadalajara
Upon arrival, I was immediately met by a representative from Projects Abroad. He took me to my accommodation where I would have my own room and my own bathroom. After introducing me to the woman I would be living with and making sure that I was comfortable with my living situation, he was on his way and I spent my first night in Mexico.
The following day was Super Bowl Sunday (American football championship) and being American, I needed to watch the match. My host mother directed me to her son's home where he would be having friends over to watch the game. I felt incredibly welcomed by my host mother, as well as her son and his friends when I met them. I was never judged and always included in conversations, even though my Spanish skills were greatly lacking.
The next day, I was met in the morning by another member of the Projects Abroad team, Miguel. One of the kindest, hardest working people I have ever met, Miguel showed me around the city of Guadalajara and took me to my place of work. His goal was to make sure I understood where the Projects Abroad office was, where my basic services were, introduce me to the people I would be working with, and make sure I knew how to get to and from my project location using the public transportation.
The staff members in Guadalajara continually organized ways for the volunteers to take a break from their jobs and help the community in different ways, or merely get together as friends and see a show or go out to dinner. There was always something being planned by the Projects Abroad team and I found it incredibly beneficial to take advantage of these numerous outings with the other volunteers.
Some of us painted a school, we worked with Amnesty International to spread the word concerning human rights in Mexico, and we spent a weekend on the coast, even getting the chance to release new-born sea turtles into the ocean. Projects Abroad helps out the Turtle Camp in Tecoman, a reservation for the conservation and protection of plant life and sea turtles. At this private reservation my fellow volunteers and I assisted in planting mangroves near the beach, followed by some much needed relaxation and the chance to release newborn sea turtles into the ocean.
One morning at the reservation, I left the camp on the back of an ATV, being driven by one of the Turtle Camp staff members. The sun had not yet risen, and so we were relying on the headlights of the ATV to navigate the sandy beach as we searched for sea turtle tracks. Once we found some tracks (signifying that an adult turtle had laid eggs in that area) we pulled over and dug up some 60 eggs from the sand. Once we had collected all of the eggs we could find along the beach, we replanted the warm eggs into an enclosed area on the beach, protecting the unborn turtles from animals or people. After the turtles hatch, they are collected and placed on the beach so they can make their way to the ocean and begin their life in the wild.
This was one of the greatest experiences of my life. My friends and I collected some new-born sea turtles, named them and then placed them on the beach and cheered for our little turtles as they struggled to the water. It was truly a beautiful sight to watch these creatures begin their life, all the while knowing exactly what to do and where to go. I love working with people and helping those in need, but there is something very special about helping a baby animal take its first steps towards what is hopefully a long, healthy life.
My experience with Projects Abroad
During all these outings and events, there is always at least one member from the Projects Abroad team accompanying the volunteers. We were never left to fend for ourselves or deprived the assistance from Projects Abroad, but we were given the freedom to make our own choices and act as individuals. I was often reminded by the staff that they are there to help the volunteers any time of day (or night) and all days of the week. My calls and texts to Projects Abroad were always answered quickly and thoroughly.
Besides the incredible care provided by Projects Abroad, the knowledge and skills I acquired through my work at the hospital was incredibly rewarding and helpful. Doctors and nurses would explain their actions to me and allow me to assist with day to day operations. After some practice, I was given the chance to diagnose incoming patients on my own. Even during my first day in the surgery room, I was able to assist and learn the many different roles played by members of the surgical team.
Being in Mexico, I garnered experiences that I would never have been exposed to in my home country. I immersed myself in the Spanish language, increasing the speed and capacity at which I learned. I made lifelong friends from other countries and truly lived in the Mexican culture. I worked with patients and learned surgical techniques, studying the many parts of medicine through practice rather than just reading what to do in a book. I got the chance to travel a beautiful country with so many different landscapes and unique activities to experience. But most of all, I discovered how rewarding the medical industry can be.
I give my thanks to Projects Abroad, as well as the wonderful people of Guadalajara, for everything that they have done for me.

Letter to the Editor: Dog shooting inexcusable
To the Editor:
A recent letter talked of a senior and innocent dog was shot on the shooter's property. What is wrong with people who reside in rural areas having no common sense or just plain asinine?
Again, it is mankind's responsibility to care for and protect their animals. This means not allowing them to run lose with the risk of them being hit by a car, shot, poisoned and left to defend for themselves. The woman who shot this dog should be ashamed of herself as well as the dog's owner who allowed her senior dog to run free.
Decades ago, it was considered the norm to allow dogs to roam free, especially in rural areas. There were fewer cars on the road, dogs were less often considered members of the family they are today. Many dogs lived on table scraps and slept outside. This being said, the life expectancy of dogs was much shorter back then and, sadly, there were many more unwanted and stray dogs that ended up being euthanized. These days most people consider their dogs as essential members of the family. While many dogs are roaming free in Grand County, it simply is not safe because of: automobiles, infectious disease, parasites, injury from/to or other animals, disturbing other people, lost or stolen, and legal consequences.
As much as your dog might love to run, you are doing the dog and your community a disservice by allowing this. Instead, get out there and exercise with your dog. Build a fence for your yard or bring your dog to a large enclosed field or meadow to play. I implore you to please be a responsible pet owner.

Damping Off: Characterized by a lack of germination or a narrowing of the newly emerged tiny seedlings at the soil line that flop over and die. Various soil fungi are responsible for this condition that are found in any seed starting mix that contains real soil. Also, can be caused by having the plastic that covers your new seedlings tight enough to not permit airflow.
Leggy Seedlings: "Leggy," seedlings means the stems are elongated and limp, flimsy with sparse foliage. Leggy seedlings usually occurs with insufficient or indirect lighting, too much heat, or too much fertilizer. If this occurs for you I suggest you consider repotting the seedlings deeper in your pot, use a fan to improve air circulation and keep temperatures slightly cooler for stockier and hardier plants.
Slow Growth: Have patience. When seedlings seem to be taking forever to grow, it is usually due to low temperatures or inadequate nutrition. Over-watering: Many growers harm their tomato plants by over-watering. Soggy soil may cause your tomato seeds to rot. Once the seedlings have started, they should be watered thoroughly then left un-watered to dry until they are almost ready to wilt, then water them again.
Over-fertilizing: I've seen this often from over-anxious gardeners. Over fertilizing can actually work against your seedlings. This may cause them to stop growing, to grow too rapidly into spindly plants, or even die. One or two applications of very dilute fertilizer are plenty to get a seedling growing to transplant size.

I'm a long-time lover of the much maligned pork scratching. An abused pub snack, done well these are the party snack of choice. You'll find good versions in gastro-pubs up and down the country – the perfect accompaniment to all manner of drinks, but preferably best with a good pint of real beer like one of my favourites, Black Sheep.
Making them at home is, frankly, a doddle. This recipe comes from my great friend Simon Majumdar's new book, Eating for Britain – a must-read for anyone interested in British food and its heritage, history and origins. He procured it from his chef pal Andrew Porter in York.
He says: "It is impossible to eat just one scratching. It's an addiction I am in no hurry to be cured of."

Good Morning Lyrics
Scraping film away your eyes awake to quite the sight. A strobing TV static flares the neon motel light. A tray of ash so full, a candle burns at both it's ends. A stack of empty bottles posing in the corner as your friends (Go, get up, get out). This place is a scene, and now you believe. This place is obscene, and you gotta leave. "Good morning" sir the sirens plead as they go laughing by. Through the pane they bleed urgency inside. The smell of failed attempts and bad decisions, now only to fill your lungs. The taste of bitter sweet guilt now resides on your tongue. Dig your bearings up from beneath the sweaty sheets. To find the scary freezing holy carpet at your feet. Rise away from last nights tomb to see more in the view. The resting place of many resonates the morning dew. Find yourself now reaching out for what is real. Your sense of self belongs in few belongings you can feel. A broken necklace hugs a lonesome matchbook at the seams. An empty wallet shows a picture, that you've never seen.

Every once in a while I will get a request based on an anime character or animal. When I can, I will fill requests as they come in and put them in order. If there is something that I think almost everyone on the site will enjoy, I will tackle a request right away. Today you will be surprised because this lesson is on "how to draw an anime dog", step by step. Anime animals are really fun to draw because they have so many different expressions that can be drawn on their faces. Anime animals are also slightly different looking then your typical cartoon style creation. They have wider eyes, simple bright colors, and a very Japanese look. This drawing of an anime dog is going to be super fun to try out because along with the tutorial, I also include some helpful tips and examples that will help make this lesson so much easier to understand. Of course you can turn your male dog into a gal, just by making the collar a bit thinner, and adding lashes to those big bright eyes. You might also want to draw a slender body if your anime dog is a female, but other than that you should be good to go.

On 12/18/2009 I posted a question rearding a comparision between jQuery and dojo on the dojo mailing list. The answers where so interesing that I want to share them here. Here's my original question:
These statistics where posted on the jsr-314 EG together with comments that suggested jQuery having made the race in js frameworks. I'm all into dojo and am collecting arguments in favour of dojo to contradict the jQuery hypothesis. Any suggestions?
1. Mike Wilcox said:
This chart doesn't tell the whole story. Dojo is a very client-side heavy toolkit and most jobs for a Dojo developer are going to be for a very client-side-centric position. JQuery on a job posting the other hand may often be a good-to-know thing for Markup guys, Designers, Java guys, .Net guys, etc. It's apples and oranges, and not how I would choose a library. That's not to dispute JQuery's popularity - it is more so than Dojo, and I personally don't think that Dojo can reach the same kind of audience that JQuery can. They are distinct. You're able to use JQuery without knowing JavaScript. Same can't really be said for Dojo.
2. Ben Hockey said:
3. Dylan Schiemann said:
What I tell people is pick the toolkit that best meets your needs: * coding style/taste * assistance/support * features * performance I don't really think popularity is what should make your decision for you. If that was the case, we'd all use Windows with Internet Explorer and we wouldn't need toolkits. ;) For what it's worth, we've seen a phenomenal growth trend in 2009, with major organizations adopting Dojo in ways that are just starting to show up, many of which are behind the firewall or as part of other projects, e.g. * IBM * Cisco * Sun * AOL * Thomson Reuters There have been a number of exciting public products released recently using Dojo. For example, yesterday Palm announced their Ares Project which uses Dojo. We're working on the new web site to make the job of explaining the value of Dojo much much easier, but it won't be live for another month or two. If you want more details on how to explain the value of Dojo, please send me an email off list and I'll help answer questions, etc.
4. Jared Jurkiewicz said:
Here's an example of a major corporate initiative (Rational) that uses Dojo heavily for the web ui aspects: http://jazz.net/
5. Kenton Smaltzer said:
The way I explain it to people is JQuery is for adding some interaction to a web site and is geared towards a designer who knows a little bit of Javascript where as dojo is a toolkit that you choose when you are going to replace a mission critical enterprise application, like a day trader front end. They are different ends of the spectrum and I try to highlighting this when the "which toolkit" question comes up. If you look at any of the comparison charts JQuery is always the top of the trend while Dojo is always a distant second but second above all of the other toolkits this is an important distinction because I believe given their targets it lends credence to the fact that Dojo is the solution for robust RIA applications. In my opinion the real battle is between Dojo, YUI and now Google Closure as these are competing in the same space and as of now Dojo is the front runner.
6. Eugene Lazutkin said:
To me jquery vs. dojo decision is mostly about complexity of a project at hand. If all you need is gradual/degradable enhancements (== a bunch of one-liners) you can't go wrong with jquery or any other major toolkit --- they all support CSS-based querying and DOM manipulation/traversal. If you application is a little bit more than that, you have to think hard about an infrastructure: how to componentize your code, how to manage dependencies, how to distribute them, and so on. Dojo is frequently used in medium-to-complex applications. That's why it has a concept of modules, namespaces, a dynamic loader, special support for CDNs, a build system, good OOP support out of the box, and a lot of other helpers in Dojo/Dijit/DojoX, which can be loaded and used on demand. You don't pay for what you don't use. Speaking about extra modules. Dijit and DojoX are more than repositories of random "plugins". They don't conflict with each other and work together rather well unlike majority of plugins for other toolkits. I learned it first hand. :-(
7. Les Szklanny said:
I appreciate the robust Dojo architecture, performance and scalability, and I hope Dojo 1.5 will concentrate on improving widget look and feel.
This IMO is an area where Dojo widgets (particularly the grid and tree grid) could be improved in a major way.
For comparison sake, take a look at his jQuery application:
I think it looks pretty good out of the box. You have a border container widget, a tree in the left pane (actually, it's a tree grid reduced to a tree). Click on "New in version 3.5" and then " and then click "TreeGrid real world example". I think the jQuery Tree Grid looks pretty good. It's themeable. It has an option for paging and virtual scrolling.
My key problem with jQuery though is that it favors functional style of programming as opposed to object-oriented as in Dojo.
8. Mike Wilcox said:
I think the Enhanced DataGrid with the new Lucid theme (name pending) is looking pretty good:
(it's not built so may be slow to load and give you a slow script warning)
Dojo also has a Tree Grid, but I'd guess you knew that:
The Dojo Grid has a *lot* of features and has corporate backing from at least SitePen and IBM. The Dojo Grid is also a11y - which means that it supports keyboard shortcuts (arrow, tab, etc). The JQuery one doesn't. Dojo's is also themeable and extendable.
I do like the toolbar in the JQuery grid though.

This should have been in the SuperBowl.... ;)
This should have been in the SuperBowl.... ;)
Wow. Well done. I agree that would be a great ad.
Stretching a bit with the statement about "no longer taking from the Earth" though considering all the raw materials it takes to produce an electric car.
Thanks for sharing!
Oh I should add that, no, it shouldn't have been in the Superbowl, not if Tesla had to pay the $7 million that a one minute add would have cost! ;-)
It's a great ad but Tesla doesn't need to be spending that much on advertising.
As has been posted in another thread "It's Over"! What a GREAT ad. We will never drive the same way again.
Pretty cool, but I don't like the touching the coor handle part. Now with the update, he shoot make a new director's cut version lol.
I agree. I had posted months ago that Tesla should run a Superbowl ad. $7 million to expose their still highly unknown product to 108 million people all in 30 seconds is a bargain. And that doesn't count the millions who watch the ads on the web the day after or all the news shows that preview the ads the day before.
I'm a business owner who understands the power of mass market advertising.
Tesla is spending money on new stores and the easiest way to get people into those stores is through advertising.
Even after Tesla has won all these awards they are still largely unknown by the general public. I am constantly telling people about my Tesla and most of them have never heard of it even though we live 20 minutes away from a store.
Hey Joe Flacco you just won the Super Bowl what are you doing know......I'm going to drive my Tesla to Disney World! Lol
V. impressive. :)
No way Tesla wants that much attention. It's getting all the orders it can handle, and is moving into Europe in a big way. Orders from there are now at the same daily rate as American ones. Blabbermouth owners are generating plenty of orders just now, thank you! And the number of new blabbermouth owners is increasing by thousands a month!
I'm happy to keep blabbing. It's an amazing car!
Don't blab, blabber! (I think there's a difference. ;) )

The Pennsylvania I-78/I-81 Logistics Corridor, stretching from
Northeastern Pennsylvania, through the Lehigh Valley, and into Central
Pennsylvania, has emerged as one of the nation's most sought-after areas
to warehouse and distribute goods. In H2 2017, its institutional-grade warehouse/distribution inventory measures over 200 million sq. ft, spread between three major submarkets.
- The Central Pennsylvania (Central PA) submarket has been the
historical core of the PA I-78/I-81 logistics corridor, specializing as a
super-regional node for bulk warehousing. Half of the Corridor's institutional-grade inventory lies in Central PA.
- The Lehigh Valley has experienced the fastest growth among the
Corridor submarkets, due in large part to its proximity to New York City via toll-free highways and the scarcity of land in New Jersey. This submarket commands the highest asking and acheived rents; recent deals for new warehouse spaces have been struck between $5.75 - $5.95 per sq. ft.
- Northeastern PA has emerged as an attractive alternative to the Lehigh Valley and Central PA, offering lower costs, plentiful land, and qualified labor. Its ascendancy is seen in the submarket's fundamentals: direct vacancy in Northeastern PA was cut nearly in half from 14.1% in Q1 2017, to 7.4% in Q4 2017.
Throughout the I-78/I-81 Corridor, 19 institutional-grade warehouse/distribution facilities were under construction in Q4 2017, totalling 13.2 million sq. ft.

Giorgio de Chirico and the Myth of Ariadne
By Michael R. Taylor
216 pages
51 color plates, 132 black-and-white reproductions
Cloth ISBN 0-87633-163-0
Paper ISBN 0-87633-164-9
Giorgio de Chirico (1888–1978) was one of the most innovative and controversial artists of the twentieth century. His early success in Paris and subsequent lionization by the Surrealists were followed by decades of negative criticism. While his enigmatic Metaphysical paintings, with their dreamlike imagery of deserted city squares filled with mysterious shadows, stopped clocks, and sleeping statues, had a powerful impact on modern art, de Chirico himself abandoned modernism in the 1920s for a return to the painting techniques of the old masters.
A key to understanding de Chirico's oeuvre is an early series of paintings he made in 1912–13 of the mythical Greek princess Ariadne. De Chirico increasing engagement with Paris's avant-garde art scene can be traced in the series, as well as the coalescence of his own painting style. In later years, the artist would return to the Ariadne theme again and again in his vast series of Piazza d'Italia paintings, which in their repetition and minute variations border on the obsessive. For all this claims to the contrary, de Chirico remained profoundly modern, his serial approach to painting foreshadowing the work of such artists as Andy Warhol.
In eight essays the authors explore the importance of the Ariadne series in the context of the Paris art world before World War I and in later developments in de Chirico's career. An unpublished text by Max Ernst and an interview with Gerard Tempest, who was tutored by de Chirico for two years in the late 1940s, shed new light on the artist and his working methods. Illustrated with some 180 paintings, drawings, sculptures, and documentary photographs, this book provides an unparalleled range of primary research materials and the best overall account of de Chirico's career.

Ryan gives Geno, Jets' rookies an 'A-plus' grade
Recommended Video:
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -- Rex Ryan is feeling pretty good about his struggling rookie class.
Sure, Geno Smith has been mistake-prone, and so has Dee Milliner. But Sheldon Richardson has been outstanding, and the fact the New York Jets have five rookies starting, well, the coach thinks that bodes well for the franchise.
"If this is not an A-plus class," Ryan said Wednesday, "I mean, I don't know what you're looking for."
Richardson, the No. 13 overall pick, was the Jets' second draft selection and has had a terrific first season as one of the NFL's top playmakers among defensive linemen. But Milliner, No. 9 overall, and Smith, a second-rounder, have had major issues and been benched at times.
Milliner, the first cornerback drafted, has been beset by injuries and inconsistency, leading to three benchings. Smith, after a solid start, is going through a brutal stretch in which he has thrown just one touchdown and 11 interceptions in his past seven games.
Brian Winters, a third-rounder who's starting at left guard, and fullback Tommy Bohanon, a seventh-rounder have also had some tough games.
The Jets' two other draft picks in April -- offensive tackle Oday Aboushi (fifth round) and guard Will Campbell (sixth round) -- have been inactive for every game so far this season.
"For us to criticize or be critical of a draft class that has five starters in the National Football League, as rookies?" a defiant Ryan said. "I understand it's New York media, but this might be a little tough. This is a bit of a stretch to criticize this draft class.
"This class is about as strong a class as I've ever seen."
Ryan has a point, that it's way too early to truly know what they have in any of the seven drafted players. But, the early overall returns -- other than Richardson -- haven't been great.
Smith became the starting quarterback when Mark Sanchez was lost for the year in the preseason with a shoulder injury. He had four winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime in his first seven games, the only player to accomplish that feat since the 1970 merger.
Things have gone bad for Smith since, and the team went from alternating wins and losses for an NFL-record 10 weeks to a three-game skid that has them nearly out of the playoff picture. Smith's shoddy play has been a major factor, and he was benched last Sunday in favor of Matt Simms in the Jets' 23-3 loss to Miami.
"Like I expressed to my coaches and teammates, I never want to come out of a game, never, no matter what," Smith said. "It did motivate me. I think, like I said, in hindsight it could be a good thing later on down the road."
Ryan gave Smith another opportunity to work himself out of his funk, naming him the starter earlier this week for the team's home game against Oakland on Sunday.
"We've got a lot of young guys on this team, especially on offense," Smith said. "We've just got to continue to get better and just move on and use a lot of these tough stretches as motivation. It's all about learning and that's something that we're learning as a whole."
Ryan acknowledged that Milliner has had rough moments this season, but also refused to say he is disappointed in the former Alabama star.
"Dee, I understand has had some struggles, and I'm not making excuses for him, but he's a rookie corner," Ryan said. "I don't know any other rookie corner that's come in the league, outside of probably (Darrelle) Revis, that jumped right in. I think we've been a little spoiled here with the corner play."
Meanwhile, Richardson has been a force, tag-teaming with Muhammad Wilkerson to give the Jets one of the league's most dynamic defensive duos on the line. Richardson leads NFL rookies in backfield stops with 3 1/2 sacks and 8 1/2 tackles for loss, and was selected as the NFL's defensive player of the month for November.
"I don't know how many other rookies are getting drafted and actually starting on teams right now, but it's not that many," Richardson said.
Winters became a starter after Vladimir Ducasse, the team's second-rounder in 2010, lost the job after four games. Ryan, however, believes Winters could be a 10-year starter in the NFL.
Bohanon has been up and down with his blocking, and is ranked last among the league's fullbacks by ProFootballFocus.com, a stats-based site that analyzes and grades players. Ryan defended Bohanon, a former college teammate of general manager John Idzik's son at Wake Forest, as a "good player" -- especially for being the team's last draft pick.
"I think this class is an outstanding class, top to bottom," Ryan said. "Will they all make it? I don't know. When you watch them, I see improvement. ... I think it's going to be a real strength for this franchise moving forward."

"Blue Crush" and Movies for the Title IX GenerationJune 24, 2013
In the early aughts, "girl power" was an ever-present but seldom politicized pop-culture phenomenon. Because marketers were quick to realize how much money they could make from this budding trend, its products tended to be shallow, pandering, and completely devoid of the political and cultural battles that would have to be fought to actually empower girls and women.
So it was easy to dismiss the Hawaii surfer-girl drama Blue Crush when it came out among all the girl-power commercialism in 2002. I certainly did. Ahead of my senior year of high school, when I was hopelessly devoted to my rowing team, I figured the movie was just another excuse for a studio (and Billabong) to make money while selling empowerment as girls-being-spectacles-in-bikinis. There seemed to be zero connection between the women athletes in my life and the women in the movie. It wasn't until a decade later that I caught part of Blue Crush at the gym, and I was completely shocked at how central women's athletics was and how many feminist ideals I saw at play.
In the first scene I saw, the main character, Anne Marie, is having a discussion with her love interest, Matt. She's paralyzed with fear that she might get injured or die in the surfing competition that is her best, last chance to become a professional. She's also worried that she's been stupid to get involved with this guy, who will be leaving Hawaii soon. This is what happens.
Matt: What do you want?
Anne Marie: What do I want? Oh, my God. I want Penny [her little sister] to quit smoking and to go to college. I want to be able to pay the phone and the electricity and the rent all in the same month. I want a girl to be on the cover of Surf magazine. And that would be great if that girl were me, but any girl would do. And I want, I mean I wish my Mom would come home. And I really, really want to win Pipe Masters tomorrow. That's what I want.
She goes on to explain how unbelievably dangerous it is to surf at this location. She herself nearly drowned surfing there a few years earlier.
Anne Marie: Just tell me what to do. Please.
Matt: You want me to tell you what to do?
Anne Marie: Yes.
Matt: You know what to do.
Anne Marie: No, Matt, I honestly don't.
Matt: Just be the girl I met on the beach.
Anne Marie: Who? Who was she?
Matt: A girl who'd never ask a guy what to do.
This isn't exactly a revolutionary concept. I doubt that Laura Mulvey's experimental films are quite so subtle. But I was taken aback at this clear privileging of Anne Marie's sporting priorities over the romantic plot, at the clear inequality that she is trying to address in surfing, and at her romantic interest's complete support and encouragement.
What happens in the competition that follows also impressed me in its progressivism. In the film, Pipe Masters is characterized as "women's surfing history" because it's the first time women have competed at Pipeline. It features Anne Marie going up against real-life pro surfers Kate Skarratt and Keala Kennelly. During the climax of the film, Kennelly helps Anne Marie get over her fears. Instead of cold competition, we see encouragement, mentorship, and cooperation. This mirrors the fact that Anne Marie's former competitor, Eden, is now her best friend and coach. And it seems to be true to life: In a bonus feature, Skarratt talks about how the pro women surfers are all friends and draw inspiration from each other instead of, as Susan Ware wrote last year in Outlook, upholding a "dominant male athletic system defined primarily by competition, elitism, and winning at all costs."
Blue Crush isn't a feminist utopia, but it is a surprisingly political look at what can happen when girl power has some teeth and when other feminist issues — cultural exploitation, working poverty, classism, single motherhood, and sexual harassment — are also, inevitably, at play.
For the girl athletes who never knew a time before Title IX (or a time before it was somewhat enforced), we crave movies like this. The ones that admit that girls and women are out there surfing waters as dangerous, running races as long, and hitting the court as hard as men are without getting nearly as many opportunities to play, go pro, or be acknowledged.

Sandra Bullock is Hollywood royalty, but when it came to celebrating her 50th birthday, the Oscar winner headed to Wyoming.
Though the seemingly ageless actress didn't hit the milestone until Saturday, Bullock started the festivities early with an evening out at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar in Jackson Hole on Thursday.
"They said they kept it [quiet] because she sometimes likes to just act like a normal person," Southern Soul Allstars member Dianne McManus tells PEOPLE of performing for Bullock and her friends at the venue. "They came out and danced and took a bunch of pictures."
