Law School Applications / Re: Where do I begin??
« on: September 22, 2009, 09:09:43 PM »
I would start by answering the following question:

Step 1: Find out what types of things lawyers actually do and whether you are capable/willing of performing this type of work for the rest of your life.

Step 2: Of the different types of lawyer, which best suits you?

Step 3: Will you realistically be able to find a job performing said job.

Step 4: Will your new lawyer job give you any greater satisfaction than your current job.

Step 5: Will I be able to manage the law school debt or would I be better off maintaining my current job and lifestyle.

Eugene kind of sucks.

Studying for the LSAT / Re: 10 Days until September Test Day!
« on: September 16, 2009, 06:54:15 PM »
Just got done talking to a good friend of mine who works for LSAC and he informed me that this upcoming test is going to be one of the hardest tests in the history of the LSAT and they're going to be using some new question formats, significantly longer question stems and longer reading comprehension articles. Apparently the higher ranked schools have been putting pressure on LSAC because too many underqualified students are slipping through the cracks and the schools' employment/bar pass rates are getting dinged as a result, thereby screwing up their rankings.

Just a heads up and good luck to everyone taking the exam!

General Board / Re: What the hell is wrong with Westlaw?

You didn't listen closely to my problem. Thankfully the folks at Westlaw seem to have fixed the problem.

General Board / What the hell is wrong with Westlaw?
« on: September 16, 2009, 10:39:56 AM »
At home, need to access Westlaw, have no idea what my Lexis login/password is. Anyone else having technical issues and if so could you please get it fixed? Thanks.

You are putting way too much effort into this thing. Learn how to get a perfect score on the logic games, do some critical reading, then call it a day. There's nothing here to actually "study", you just need to learn how to take the test.

General Board / Re: Today's MPRE
« on: September 11, 2009, 10:37:48 AM »
Passed easily with lots of room to spare.

Took Professional Responsibility during preceding semester & went through the RIGOS MPRE Review book during the evenings the week before the exam.

Overall spent about 10 hours studying. Definitely requires some studying, but not a lot.

Studying and Exam Taking / Re: How do I set myself apart?
« on: August 30, 2009, 10:20:34 PM »
One of the most valuable things you can do is review model answers from past exams, if your professor provides model answers. Otherwise, figure out what the professor wants on the exam and give them what they want.

Where should I go next fall? / Re: Temple Law School?
« on: August 29, 2009, 04:54:29 PM »
Temple does offer a fair amount of scholarship $ to out of state students and these generally make the tuition rate lower than the rate for in-state students. Most of these scholarships are contingent on finishing in the top 50% and there's no guarantee of that happening.

My scholarship is $20,000/year based on a 165 LSAT and something like a 3.5GPA. The original scholarship offer was $12,000/year, but I used offers from other schools to negotiate and they offered an extra $5,000.

Just something you might want to keep in mind.

Where should I go next fall? / Re: Native American Law focus?
« on: August 29, 2009, 10:32:02 AM »
The university of New Mexico is probably your best bet. They offer a specialization in Indian Law, Indian law clinicals and they have a Tribal Law Journal.

Having lived in New Mexico and having encountered some tribal law issues, I can tell you that they don't take too kindly to non-Indian folk practicing Indian law, so if you're not Indian you might want to take this into consideration.

Mike Tyson Shows Support For Vegan Lifestyle in Partnership with Last Chance For Animals!

mike tyson billboard

Heavy weight boxing champion Mike Tyson has lent his image to a new billboard on Sunset Blvd and Doheny Drive in West Hollywood, CA to promote his vegan lifestyle. The billboard, which faces west on Sunset Blvd, is in partnership with Last Chance for Animals.

The image of Tyson, shot by celebrity photographer Christopher Ameruoso, shows the boxer kissing a dove, with the words "Vegan" and "Love Animals, Don't Eat Them."

Tyson, who has been vegan for over a year and a half, said about being part of this PSA with Last Chance for Animals' "I am truly honored and grateful to be a part of this cause. It's been a while since an organization has wanted me for anything and to be a part of something that benefits people and animals in such a positive way is a blessing."

On being asked what it is like being vegan, Tyson replied; "I have been a vegan for almost two years now and the benefits have been tremendous. I have more stamina and it helps keep me in a positive state of mind. I didn't realize how weighed down I was when I ate meat. I never really felt 100 percent until I freed it from my diet. Now, I can't imagine going back to meat. I feel incredible."

Brand new love

All images from Amator
Amator is a young and upcoming brand with norwegian roots created by Eline Starink in 2011.
When I saw the lookbook of her brand it was like love at first sight.
She creates clean, perfect silhouettes with some colorful touches.
It's sporty but still feminine and very young. I really love their jackets and shorts.
Hopefully they will become a part of my summer wardrobe.

Ocean Bottom Seismology

Our Ocean Bottom Seismology (OBS) Laboratory develops and operates cutting-edge instrumentation for measuring deformation of the ocean floor in a variety of experimental settings.  One of our primary efforts is to operate a component of the National Science Foundation's OBS Instrumentation Pool (OBSIP), in cooperation with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The Lamont OBSIP facility supplies the national and international scientific community with unique broadband ocean bottom seismometers capable of very long deployments at sea.  These complex instruments must be able to drop to the seafloor, record earthquakes for a year and then return to the surface on command.  The recorded data is used to study structures and processes deep within the Earth’s crust and mantle, including seafloor earthquakes and faulting, convective and hydrothermal processes, the fate of subducting slabs, Earth's hotspots (of which Hawaii and Iceland are the best examples), and the supply of magma to form the oceanic crust beneath ridge crests. In addition, Lamont scientists and engineers continue to develop the next generation of instrumentation, including increased-sensitivity sensors designed to detect and measure long-duration seafloor deformation associated with wave pressure and tectonic forces, as well as small, inexpensive recording devices designed to be deployed in large numbers for active-source marine seismic experiments.

TUCSON, Ariz.—It was the place where former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords last spoke and walked without limitations; where Emily Nottingham's son became the first Congressional aide to die in the line of duty; where a 9-year-old girl was gunned down while waiting to shake hands with a politician.

Survivors of the 2011 shooting massacre that wounded 13 and killed six reunited for the first time Wednesday outside the Tucson shopping center where the horrific shooting occurred to deliver pleas for new gun controls.

Giffords, who is still recovering from her injuries, spoke for only a few seconds. She walked with her husband's help and placed a white flower bouquet along a memorial outside the Safeway grocery store in honor of the shooting victims.

"Be bold. Be courageous," Giffords said. "Please support background checks."

Giffords and Kelly had returned to the Safeway previously to visit the memorial, but Wednesday marked their first public event at the store since the shooting. Sheriff's deputies were there to provide security.

Shooting victims and families of the deceased gathered at the event, clutching bright, saffron-hued roses. Giffords gave some of them hugs.

At one point during the news conference, Giffords threw a victorious fist in the air and flashed a wide grin.

"Fight, fight, fight," she said, recalling the words she tells her husband before her regular therapy sessions.

The sun-kissed gathering Wednesday was far from the horror that took place on a similar morning 26 months ago.

Emily Nottingham recalled that her son's body was left on the sidewalk outside the supermarket for hours as investigators scrambled to make sense of the chaos. Her son Gabe Zimmerman, Gifford's director of community outreach, was 30 years old when he died in the shooting.

"It's very hard to be here today," Nottingham said. "The system is riddled with holes—bullet holes. It needs to be fixed."

Susan Hileman described her excitement before the 2011 event as she waited to introduce her 9-year-old neighbor, aspiring politician Christina-Taylor Green, to Giffords. Green was the youngest of those killed.

"I looked at Gabby and I looked at Christina, and I could only imagine the sparks that would fly when the two of them got to shake hands. It was really going to be something," Hileman said, before her voice turned dark. "It really was something, wasn't it?"

Jared Lee Loughner, 24, was sentenced in November to seven consecutive life sentences, plus 140 years, in the Tucson shooting. The rampage happened at a meet-and-greet event organized by Giffords outside the grocery store on Jan. 8, 2011.

Giffords was joined Wednesday by her husband, Mark Kelly. Kelly said it was not difficult to return to the place where his wife nearly died. The hard part, he said, was persuading Congress to act.

A gun control group started by Giffords and Kelly began airing a new pro-gun control television ad in Arizona and Iowa on Tuesday. Giffords and Kelly support extending background checks to gun shows and Internet purchases. The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to take up tougher firearm regulations Thursday, and some lawmakers have already expressed their opposition to universal background checks, including Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake.

"This discussion is not really about the Second Amendment," Kelly said. "It's about public safety and keeping guns out of the hands of the dangerously mentally ill."

Kelly, who was not present when the shooting occurred, recalled the events of the Tucson massacre. Kelly said Loughner walked directly toward Giffords and shot her once in the head before directing fire at the crowd around her. He released 33 bullets in 15 seconds, Kelly said.

"It was clear that the shooter had a history of mental illness, but he had easy access to a gun," Kelly said. "If things were different, he would have failed that background check."

1. Introduction

1.1 What is media regulation?

The `media' whose regulation I am discussing are the public means of mass communication, especially the press, radio and television, but also including film and recorded music as well as a number of newer means of distribution by way of cable, satellite, discs, tapes, etc. Of increasing importance is the internet, which can now be regarded as a `mass medium' in its own right on the grounds of its gradual diffusion to majorities in many countries and its use for a number of public communication functions in the sphere of both entertainment and information. The boundary between public and private communication is an important one from the point of view of regulation, but it is much less easy to identify than in the past, especially in relation to the internet which serves as means of personal communication as well as a means of dissemination and form of publication. To some extent, the same applies to mobile phones.

Regulation refers to the whole process of control or guidance, by established rules and procedures, applied by governments and other political and administrative authorities to all kinds of media activities. Thus regulation is always a potential intervention in ongoing activities, usually for some stated "public interest" goal, but also to serve the needs of the market (for instance, by supporting competition) or for reasons of technical efficiency (for instance, setting technical standards). Regulation takes many forms, ranging from clauses in national constitutions and laws to administrative procedures and technical specifications. Regulation can be internal as well as external. In the former case, we are usually speaking of `self-regulation', where internal controls are applied, sometimes in response to public pressure or criticism from outside.

Cash windfall adds to Holywell school's celebrations

Published date: 01 May 2014 |
Published by: Romilly Scragg
Read more articles by Romilly Scragg  Email reporter

A SCHOOL’S 50-year celebrations have been given a boost with a grant of almost £5,000.

Ysgol Brynffordd, which has been in its current building for half a century, will hold a pageant at an anniversary event later this year.

A booklet celebrating the history of the Holywell school is being produced with past and present pupils and staff encouraged to get involved.

As well as attending the pageant at the school on October 18, pupils and staff are being invited to help gather evidence for what the school has described as a “momentous occasion”.

The primary school is one of the first in the UK to receive a Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) Sharing Heritage grant.

The awards are designed to help people across the UK explore, conserve and share all aspects of the history and character of their local area.

Ysgol Brynffordd’s £4,900 award will help pay for the production of the anniversary booklet, which the school will be working on with heritage consultant Lorna Jenner.

Headteacher Nia Goldsmith said being awarded the grant was “great news”.

“We can’t wait to get started,” she said.

“We love our school and we know there’s so much more to discover about the past.

“We’re really excited about telling other people about our findings and sharing our heritage and history with them.”

Jennifer Stewart, head of the HLF in Wales, said the programme was a wonderful opportunity for communities to delve into their local heritage.

“We’re delighted to be able to offer this grant so Ysgol Brynffordd can embark on a real journey of discovery,” she said.

“Heritage means such different things to different people, and HLF’s funding offers a wealth of opportunities for groups to explore and celebrate what’s important to them in their area.”

Stopped Out for Holiday Break
December 19, 2011-January ?, 2012

With uncertain migration weather and school break for winter holidays, the migration took a break too. During the break, Brooke injured his back and needs recovery time. Until migration resumes, you can still follow along with daily news on the Operation Migration Field Journal. We'll be back when the migration starts up in January, reporting on fly-days with the latest in the Class of 2011's first journey south.

Happy Holidays in lights

Day 47

Chassahowitzka, Here They Come-- 82.5 Miles to Go!

Amost home! Photo OM, WCEP

Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge
Crystal River, FL

On the fifth consecutive day of exhilarating progress, the cranes and crew are so close they can taste it---not just Thanksgiving dinner, but the victory of completing this historic migration! It was another banner day, with 60.5 miles gained and all 16 cranes flying. They left Hamilton County, FL in clear skies at 7:10 a.m. and arrived in Gilchrist County at 8:38. Heather was thrilled to report: "Three times the flight team and cranes flew directly overhead as I drove to the next location." Can you picture it? (One tense day during this migration, Heather was stopped by a highway patrol for driving a bit too fast. Luckily, the cranes and little yellow trikes flew overhead just as she was explaining her speed to the officer. If he hadn't seen the birds with his own eyes, he may not have believed Heather's explanation.) The young birds have come a total of 1121.5 miles, with the finish line just 82.5 miles away.

Celebration Coming
The team and all the other WCEP partners are gearing up to share the celebration with the public. A flyover (cranes and ultralights) will take place at the north field of the Crystal River Mall on US Hwy 19 during the final flight of the long journey. The earliest day this would happen is Saturday, Nov. 30th. Speakers will talk about the reintroduction and future plans. The pilots and ground crew will join the event after delivering the cranes out to the release pen at the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge. This is a long holiday weekend for schools, but if you are reading this during the break, details will appear on the OM Web site. Heather will give a heads up after checking the weather forecast the night before the flight. Get ready to whoop and holler. They're almost home!

What’s Right about Social Justice?

What if libertarians and classical liberals were wrong and the free-market system actually did make the rich richer and the poor poorer? Would that change their support of those ideas? Professor Matt Zwolinski expects that it would. This implies that most proponents view how the poor fare under free-markets as more than just an attractive selling point for the free-market system. It is a crucial element in justifying market-based policies.

Who ends up with what in terms of money, jobs, or opportunities is affected by the legal and social rules under which people operate. We have rules defining and enforcing property rights, rules of contract, taxation, and so on. Prof. Zwolinski says, “Rules like these don’t determine exactly how any particular person in society will fare compared to anyone else, but they do affect the overall patterns of distribution in society.”

The famous egalitarian John Rawls said that “a just society’s rules tend to work to the maximum advantage of the least well off classes.” Prof. Zwolinski argues that while we may disagree on the means to achieve this end, free-market proponents can agree with this statement. We can embrace a theory of social justice without believing the state has to do anything to directly promote the welfare of the least well off. Prof. Zwolinski believes that when it comes to social justice, supporters of a traditional concept of social justice and free-market proponents have much to learn from one another.

Sparkle GeForce GTX 275 Video Card Review

Far Cry 2

Far Cry 2 is a first-person shooter video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It was released on October 21, 2008 in North America. Crytek, the developers of the original game, were not involved in the development of Far Cry 2.

FarCry2 Screen Shot

Ubisoft has developed a new engine specifically for Far Cry 2 called Dunia, meaning “world,” “earth” or “living” in Parsi but also used in many languages. The Dunia Engine was built specifically for Far Cry 2 by the Ubisoft Montreal development team. It delivers realistic destructible environments, special effects such as dynamic fire propagation and storm effects, real-time night-and-day cycle, dynamic music system and non-scripted enemy A.I. The engine takes advantage of multi-core processors as well as multiple processors and supports DirectX 9 as well as DirectX 10. Only 2 or 3 percent of the original CryEngine code is re-used, according to Michiel Verheijdt, Senior Product Manager for Ubisoft Netherlands. Far Cry 2 also supports the amBX technology from Philips. With the proper hardware, this adds effects like vibrations, ambient colored lights, and fans that generate wind effects.

The fire effects and lighting of Far Cry 2 are fairly stylized, as opposed to the “realistic” lighting of STALKER: Clear Sky or even Call of Duty: World at War. First-person shooters tend to be favored as benchmark tests, but the games in LegitReviews’ testing library play more differently than their common FPS heritage suggests. I’m not willing to make any predictions as to how popular/enduring the Dunia engine turns out to be in the longer term, but Ubisoft Montreal has done impressive work here. FC2 performance was measured using FRAPS with multiple run-throughs at each resolution point to eliminate outliers.

Benchmark Results: Far Cry 2 is another NVIDIA-friendly title and Sparkle’s GeForce GTX 275 nails the price/performance ratio in this particular game. Ubisoft Montreal deserves kudos for keeping the jungle flowing smoothly at all detail levels; 1900×1200 with 4x AA is quite playable in FC2, even as Crysis Warhead dissolves into a stutterfest.

Fareed Zakaria's Latest: "The Post-American World"

Though I've often disagreed with Fareed Zakaria on specific policy questions, I've always been challenged and interested by his way of thinking about big issues. I found Zakaria's earlier book The Future of Freedom stimulating, if imperfect. Zakaria seems to be especially good at synthesizing complex issues under the umbrella of a signature "big idea," without choking off qualifications or complexities. He still may a little too close to the buzzword-philia of Thomas Friedman for some readers, but in my view Zakaria's book-length arguments are a cut above Friedman's "gee whiz" bromides. (Zakaria's weekly Newsweek columns do not always rise to this bar.)

Zakaria's latest big concept is The Post-American World, a just-released book whose argument he summarizes in a substantial essay in this week's Newsweek. The basic idea is, the world is becoming a place where the U.S. is not a solo superpower, but rather a complex competitive environment with multiple sites of power and influence. Even as China and India ("Chindia"?) rise, it's not clear that the U.S. or Europe will fall; rather, everyone can, potentially, rise together -- or at least, compete together. Zakaria argues that despite hysterical anxieties figured in the mass media regarding the threat of terrorism and economic crisis, the world has rarely been more peaceful -- and that relative peace and stability has created the opportunity for the unprecedented emergence of independent and rapidly expanding market economies in formerly impoverished "Chindia."

There's more to it (read the article), but perhaps that is enough summary for now. There are a couple of passages I thought particularly interesting, which I might put out for discussion. First, on India:

During the 1980s, when I would visit India—where I grew up—most Indians were fascinated by the United States. Their interest, I have to confess, was not in the important power players in Washington or the great intellectuals in Cambridge.

People would often ask me about … Donald Trump. He was the very symbol of the United States—brassy, rich, and modern. He symbolized the feeling that if you wanted to find the biggest and largest anything, you had to look to America. Today, outside of entertainment figures, there is no comparable interest in American personalities. If you wonder why, read India's newspapers or watch its television. There are dozens of Indian businessmen who are now wealthier than the Donald. Indians are obsessed by their own vulgar real estate billionaires. And that newfound interest in their own story is being replicated across much of the world. (link)

This last insight seems dead-on to me, and it's the kind of thing I think Zakaria appreciates precisely because he was raised in India (no matter how many times he says "we" when talking about American foreign policy, he still carries that with him). This is one of the spaces where Zakaria's status as an "Indian-American" is a real asset, as it gives him a simultaneous insider-outsider "double consciousness" -- he has the ability to see things from the American/European point of view, but also know (remembers?) how the man on the street in Bombay or Shanghai is likely to see the world. [Note: I did an earlier post on Zakaria's complex perspective here]

(As a side note -- for the academics in the house, isn't the narrative Zakaria is promoting in the passage above a "pop" version of what postcolonial theorists have been talking about for years -- what Ngugi called "The Decolonization of the Mind"?)

Secondly, another passage, which I think addresses what might be the biggest hindrance to the multi-nodal global society Zakaria is interested in:

The rise of China and India is really just the most obvious manifestation of a rising world. In dozens of big countries, one can see the same set of forces at work—a growing economy, a resurgent society, a vibrant culture, and a rising sense of national pride. That pride can morph into something uglier. For me, this was vividly illustrated a few years ago when I was chatting with a young Chinese executive in an Internet café in Shanghai. He wore Western clothes, spoke fluent English, and was immersed in global pop culture. He was a product of globalization and spoke its language of bridge building and cosmopolitan values. At least, he did so until we began talking about Taiwan, Japan, and even the United States. (We did not discuss Tibet, but I'm sure had we done so, I could have added it to this list.) His responses were filled with passion, bellicosity, and intolerance. I felt as if I were in Germany in 1910, speaking to a young German professional, who would have been equally modern and yet also a staunch nationalist.

As economic fortunes rise, so inevitably does nationalism. Imagine that your country has been poor and marginal for centuries. Finally, things turn around and it becomes a symbol of economic progress and success. You would be proud, and anxious that your people win recognition and respect throughout the world. (link)

Will resurgent nationalism turn out to be the biggest hindrance to the "smooth" globalization Zakaria is talking about? How might this play out? Will there be a new generation of wars, or will it be expressed in subtler ways (like, for instance, what happened with the nuclear deal within the Indian political system). In the Newsweek article at least, Zakaria doesn't really explore the downside of emergent (insurgent?) Chindian nationalisms in depth; perhaps he explores that further in the book.

A Book with "@" in the Title

There's a profile in the New York Times of Chetan Bhagat (thanks, Pocobrat), author of One Night @ The Call Center, which was released in the U.S. on paperback last year. Bhagat, an author few in the west will have heard of, has now become the biggest English-language author in Indian history:

But he has also become the biggest-selling English-language novelist in India’s history, according to his publisher, Rupa & Company, one of India’s oldest and best established publishers. His story of campus life, “Five Point Someone,” published in 2004, and a later novel, “One Night @ the Call Center,” sold a combined one million copies.

Mr. Bhagat, who wrote his books while living here, has difficulty explaining why a 35-year-old investment banker writing in his spare time has had such phenomenal success reaching an audience of mainly middle-class Indians in their 20s. The novels, deliberately sentimental in the tradition of Bollywood filmmaking, are priced like an Indian movie ticket — just 100 rupees, or $2.46 — and have won little praise as literature.

“The book critics, they all hate me,” Mr. Bhagat said in an interview here. (link)

Yes, it's true, we do hate him.

I read One Night @ The Call Center a few months ago, when the American publisher sent me a review copy. Some parts were so bad, they made me cry. I was particularly bored by the chapters detailing the protagonist's unrequited romance with a colleague , which are set off in bold type for some reason (though the fact that they are set off in bold is actually useful -- the font makes it easier to identify the chapters to skip!).

That said, the novel does have some amusing cultural commentary scattered here and there, and I suspect it's the book's candor on the grim--yet economically privileged--experience of overnight call center workers that has made Bhagat so popular. That, and the book is so easy it could be read by a stoned dog on a moonless night.

Here is one passage, on accents, I thought interesting:

I hate accent training. The American accent is so confusing. You mightthink the Americans and their language are straightforward, but each letter can be pronounced several different ways.

I'll give you just one example: T. With this letter Americans have four different sounds. T can be silent, so "internet" becomes "innernet" and "advantage" becomes "advannage." Another way is when T and N merge-- "written" becomes "writn" and "certain" is "certn." The third sound is when T falls in the middle. There, it sounds like a D--"daughter" is "daughder" and "water" is "wauder." The last category, if you still care, is when Americans say T like a T. This happens, obviously, when T is at the beginning of the word like "table" or "stumble." And this is just one consonant. The vowels are another story.

Say what you will about his literary skills, Bhagat has clearly worried about American accents.

A second moment of cultural commentary I remembered came from the middle of the novel, after one of the characters has started to freak out after getting one too many calls from racist Americans uttering epithets of the "rat-eater" variety:

"Guys, there are two things I cannot stand," he said and showed us two fingers. Racists. And Americans."

Priyanka started laughing.

"What is there to laugh at?" I said.

"Because there is a contradiction. He doesn't like racists, but can't stand Americans," Priyanka said.

"Why?" Vroom said, ignoring Priyanka. "Why do some fat-ass, dim-witted Americans get to act superior to us? Do you know why?"

Nobody answered.

Vroom continued, "I'll tell you why. Not because they are smarter. Not because they are better people. But because their country is rich and ours is poor. That is the only damn reason. Because the losers who have run our counttry for the last fifty years couldn't do better than make India one of the poorest countries on earth."

And if reading rants like that makes you feel better about things, you might enjoy One Night @ The Call Center. (Well, parts of it, anyway.)

Misadventures in Government: Delhi and Nandigram

The dream of speeding India towards globalization and economic liberalization has encountered quite a number of hiccups over the past year, though two failed government policies in particular stand out: the sealing drive in Delhi, and the Special Economic Zone plan in rural Bengal.

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi had elections over the past few days, and the Congress Party lost heavily, while the BJP gained the majority of seats, primarily because of "sealing," which is the process of closing down illegal commercial enterprises in residential areas. The government's mismanagement of the sealing drive, which has led to repeated interventions by the Indian courts, including the Supreme Court, can be compared in some ways to what happened recently in Nandigram. There, a group of villagers gathered to protest the conversion of their farmland into a "Special Economic Zone" (SEZ) found themselves under fire by police. Fourteen people died in the violence, and in the ensuing uproar the Communist government of Bengal has been forced to suspend (temporarily?) its plan to develop a massive chemical factory and the four-lane highway that would lead to it.

There are of course ironies in both instances. It's remarkable, for instance, that the Communist government of Bengal is so pro-globalization that it was ready to force several thousand people in Nandigram to relocate to make way for an Indonesian corporation (the Salim group). But it seems to me that what is happening here isn't so much about conventional ideology (left vs. right) as it is about pro-development policies, that might make sense in principle, being terribly mismanaged.

Both issues are incredibly complicated, and alongside your opinions and arguments, I'd like to humbly request that readers suggest links that shed light on the different sides of each issue.

The Wikipedia entry for the 2006 Delhi Sealing Drive is pretty helpful, as it gives a detailed timeline of events (supported in many cases by external links to news articles). Another helpful starting point is this Rediff article from last November. There is also a blog of sorts on Delhi Sealing; the recent entries refer to the "Delhi Master Plan 2021," which was unveiled by the Congress government last fall as a way to offset the political damage created by the misguided sealing drive that unfolded over the course of 2006. The new Master Plan compromises on several issues; for instance, it aims to create more "mixed use" areas, thereby reducing the need for sealing under the previous plan. In all of this, the Supreme Court has been a major thorn in the side of the Congress government; it has required the government to implement a deeply unpopular policy, and in some sense pushed the Congress Party in Delhi into its current situation. (The Supreme Court has also bucked the will of the legislative branch on the question of reservations for OBCs, though that is another whole can of worms.)

On Nandigram and the SEZs, Wikipedia is again a good place to start. I would also recommend this Tehelka article from March 3, which also discusses a controversial SEZ plan in Singur involving a proposed Tata Auto plant. There's also an interesting Op-Ed in the Indian Express, from a writer who is clearly pro-SEZ and pro-globalization, but who recognizes the failures in the plan as it was enacted. And finally, try this leftist critique of the rather non-leftish policies of the CPI(M) in Bengal at Znet. (You may or may not agree with Akhila Rman's assessment of what happened at Nandigram, but her footnotes/links are very helpful.)

The biggest problem with the SEZ program from a civil rights perspective is the way the government can acquire rural land from peasants who may not have any papers to support their claim to ownership. (In this sense, they are similar to the traders who run unlicensed shops in Delhi -- and the claims of both groups are, in my view, legitimate.) A new policy is being put in place that will require that SEZ land in the future be purchased, rather than simply possessed, but it's unclear whether that is now going to be tried at Nandigram.

In the Washington Post: Vikram Chandra, and a little from me

I'm quoted in an article in this past Monday's Washington Post, on Vikram Chandra's Sacred Games:

The seminal event of Chandra's 45 years, by contrast, has been the transformation, beginning in the early 1990s, of India's sleepy socialist economy into a dynamic engine of internationalization and growth.

"We're living through this precarious time when great changes are happening," Chandra says. The India he grew up in felt like "a little bubble at a far distance from the rest of the world." But in the India his 7-year-old nephew has inherited, "the West as a presence is completely available every day -- and his expectations of his place in the world are very changed."

This new India is a place where the middle class is growing in size and confidence. It's also a place, as Chandra points out, where there's still "this huge mass of people who have nothing" but who can now see what they lack.

And it's a place, according to Lehigh University professor Amardeep Singh, where "the stories people want to tell" aren't so much about colonialism anymore.

Singh teaches courses with titles such as "Post-Colonial Literature in English," using texts from regions as diverse as Africa, South Asia and the Caribbean. He notes that Chandra's first novel was replete with colonial themes, but he sees "Sacred Games" as something quite different.

"I would use the phrase 'novel of globalization,' " Singh says. In "Sacred Games," he points out, the English language Chandra's upwardly mobile gangster struggles to learn is associated less with India's former colonizers than with the broader international economy that dictates its use.

Not surprisingly, the notion of a globalized Indian literature has sparked a backlash. Indian authors writing in English, especially those living overseas, have been charged by some critics with distorting Indian reality to cater to Western audiences. Chandra took some hits on this front himself, even before "Sacred Games," and was irritated enough to lash back in a Boston Review essay titled "The Cult of Authenticity."

His advice to any writer similarly attacked: "Do what it takes to get the job done. Use whatever you need. Swagger confidently through all the world, because it all belongs to you."

Firefighters’ unions keep temporary contract

October 3, 2012
By MEL TOADVINE ( , Lehigh Acres Citizen

Despite negotiations between the Lehigh Acres Fire and Rescue District and its two employees' unions not being on the agenda of the meeting of the board last week, commissioners at the last minute before adjourning gave Chief Donald Adams the authority to extend the employees' current contract while negotiations are expected to continue for a new contract.

Two weeks ago, the district's attorney and representatives declared an impasse on contract talks.

The fiscal year began Oct. 1 and without a settlement on hand, the employees contract would revert back to what employees were making prior to 2009 when they agreed to $1.6 million in concessions.

Article Photos

Walt Stevens

At the meeting held Sept. 25, Walt Stevens, president of the IAFF, Local 1826, passed out a letter addressed to the commissioners. In it, Stevens wrote that what was becoming "an all too familiar refrain, Local 1826 once again wishes to identify for you the various concessions it and its members have made to the district over the course of the last four or more years."

While the members of the board made no reference to the letter during the meeting, Stevens jumped from his seat seconds before adjournment to ask the board members if they were going to accept the union's contract by Oct. 1 or "give them your money."

Items for discussion by the board are always put on an agenda so the public knows what is to be discussed and so the public can make comments during two discussion periods.

Stevens' letter was not on the agenda and board members had not been given the letter before the meeting.

The debate between Stevens and board members became heated at times while Stevens continued to ask the board to make a decision before the fiscal Oct. 1 date began.

"I'm here trying to save you money," Stevens shouted to the board. "I have never had such difficulty giving money back (to the district).

The verbal exchange prompted Board Chairman Jeff Berndt to suggest the panel go into an executive session. But the district's attorney, Richard Pringle, said it was unusual for a walk-on to be considered when it was not listed on the agenda, but that as far as he knew, the board could deal with Stevens' requests.

After a back and forth exchange of words, the board finally voted three to one to give the chief the authority to continue the employees' current contract until negotiations continue.

Three commissioners Larry Becker, Jeff Berndt, and Linda Carter voted in favor to allow the chief to step in and continue the contract. But Commissioner David Adams voted no and showed his disgust with the matter by saying that because the item was not on the agenda, that the public couldn't react.

"No, I am against this," Adams said.

Carter said she voted yes "with reservations" and Commissioner Adams, still upset over the surprised walk-on item being considered, said "we're cutting the community out who may want to say something."

In his two-page letter, labor spokesman Walt Stevens wrote that he as a representative of the employees are now being asked to make additional sacrifices which Local 1826 believes are unfair and inequitable.

"While we have attempted to communicate our concerns regarding the district's most recent round of cuts to your representatives at the bargaining table, our questions remain unanswered and our concerns unaddressed, Stevens wrote.

"At the last negotiation session, we raised questions regarding the calculation of the proposed budget for FY 2013 and the necessity of the cuts, particularly the depth of the cuts, proposed by the district. Your representatives at the bargaining table, a negotiation team led by Nikhil Joshi, were unable to answer the questions we posed. We then asked to be able to meet with the finance director away from the bargaining table in order to have our questions regarding the budget answered and to allow us to formulate an appropriate response to the district's proposals. That request was granted and we intended to follow through with the meeting," Stevens wrote.

But he said before the meeting with the finance director could be set, the district by letter and without any phone call or personal notification of any kind, 'notified us' that it was declaring an impasse. This declaration was issued five days after we met at the table and were granted permission to meet with the finance director.

"This behavior by your representatives should be unacceptable to you as commissioners," Stevens said.

When the 3-1 vote was secured, those in the audience cheered. The crowd was made up of firefighters and their families. The meeting room was full at capacity. The letter is public record and can be obtain at the fire district's offices at 636 Thomas Sherwin Avenue South in Lehigh.

Stevens even questioned why the district was spending big money with a lawyer when both sides should be able to sit down and negotiate.

Ralph Hemingway, who has served on the fire board in years past, was in the audience and he stood up and said that union and district negotiations were done at the table face to face without a lawyer.

"That's the way we did it for years," he said.

In a special meeting held an hour before the regular meeting, the board voted to keep the average rate at 3.0 mills and also voted for the new budget of close to $24 million. The millage rate had to be passed at 5:01 p.m. The regular meeting began at 6 p.m.

Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity loses chapter recognition at Lehigh University

Jacqueline Tenreiro | The Brown and White By Jacqueline Tenreiro | The Brown and White
on June 12, 2014 at 9:23 AM, updated June 12, 2014 at 9:37 AM

After receiving an "Unacceptable" rating in Lehigh University's annual Accreditation process, the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity has lost both chapter recognition and university group housing privileges.

The decision came as the latest update in the organization's status since being put on Disciplinary Deferred Dissolution and Disciplinary Probation after a hearing on May 14. The hearing found the fraternity responsible for Lehigh University Code of Conduct violations due to incidents that occurred on April 17 and 18 during which an underage student was sent to the hospital for severe intoxication.

Disciplinary Deferred Dissolution — which the organization had already been on through Dec. 31 — put the chapter in danger of immediate, review-less dissolution if any Code of Conduct policies were violated.

According to the university's guidelines on the Accreditation process, a chapter earning a second consecutive rating of "Poor" results in the immediate revoke of housing privileges and chapter recognition.

For the 2011-2012 academic year, Lambda received a "Poor" rating on Accreditation, followed by a "Bronze" rating for the 2012-2013 year.

In the Accreditation categories of Leadership Development, Community Development, Organizational Development and Facilities Management, the chapter received all "Unacceptable" ratings.

The Committee's report comments acknowledged practices that included falsification of testimony regarding the removal of a chapter member and violation of social policies after a Lambda Chi Alpha leadership consultant visited the chapter regarding alcohol policies. According to the Accreditation report, the chapter had spoken of the "effectiveness of their relationship with the Lambda Chi Alpha Leadership Consultants."

The Committee recognized alcohol management as a prior Accreditation chapter development question and referred to the chapter's practices as "intentional" and "high risk" in their policy violations.

The report also cited thousands of dollars worth of damages to the facility. According to the report, Residential Services met with the fraternity in September to address a tradition of urination in the facility's southwest stairwell. After the fall semester closing, Residential Services discovered the tradition had continued throughout the fall. The stairwell was closed in February and scheduled for replacement with the cleaning costs paid by the fraternity, the report said.

In addition, the report indicated that the chapter lost $2,577 in furniture at the close of the facility in the spring, an amount four times that of any other chapter.

Also in the report, the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity had earned a "Bronze" rating in the Intellectual Development category in which they were recognized for having the highest GPA out of 18 Interfraternity Council Chapters. The chapter had achieved a 3.234 during the fall 2013 semester.

Lambda's removal is the third Greek organization to be dissolved from Lehigh's campus within two years after the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity and Delta Gamma sorority's removals in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Comments about Speedo Goggle Case Charcoal:

I bought this case to store awesome kiddie swim goggles (Frogglez). I added store-bought charms to ID the goggles for each youngster. Nice and roomy, even little hands can stow goggles & close the case! Hard case keeps goggles safe from scratches and from being crushed among our gear. The clips are a plus as the case can be added to each kid's bag and they are always accessible.

PentaxPentax Optio M20 : Pentax launches the Pentax Optio M20, a compact digital camera boasting extended battery life. The Pentax M20 is a well-balanced compact digital camera family with a wide range of basic features. In addition offering extended battery life from only 2 AA batteries, this model features a new Blur Reduction mode as well as an upgrade to 7.0 effective Megapixels. Using easily-available AA batteries, you can take high quality photos with the Optio M20 anytime anywhere, while on trips and everyday. The Pentax Optio M20 includes a 3X optical zoom lens with a focal length from 38 to 114 mm for 35-mm film, which is ideal for a broad spectrum of subjects from landscapes, through sightseeing photographs, to portraits.
Pentax Optio M20Pentax M20 camera - Blur reduction
The Pentax Optio M20 is equipped with a Blur Reduction mode, a new feature that lets you take photos at faster shutter speeds for sharper images even in dim lighting conditions such as night scenes and indoor sporting events. In this mode, the camera automatically adjusts the sensitivity to as high as ISO 1600 to match the brightness of the subject. The higher sensitivity permits faster shutter speeds that effectively reduce not just camera shake but also blurring caused by moving subjects.

Pentax Optio M20 compact camera - Energy and Scene
Thanks to its comprehensive energy-saving design, the Pentax Optio M20 provides exceptional battery life (approximately 220 images with AA-size alkaline batteries, or approximately 700 images with AA-size lithium batteries. Since it accepts the globally available AA-size batteries, the user will have no worries about obtaining fresh batteries on the road. The Auto Picture mode lets the camera automatically determine the shooting conditions for Landscape, Portrait, Night Scene, and Program modes and choose the optimum settings for each subject. This Pentax original function simplifies shooting for users since it eliminates the necessity of making a number of individual settings.

Pentax Optio M20

Pentax M20 digital camera - Movie
The Pentax Optio M20 captures movies at 30 fps (frames per second) at resolutions up to 640 x 480 pixels and with an image quality rivaling that of camcorders. Camera shake while filming can be corrected automatically using the movie anti-shake function (Using the movie anti-shake function results in a narrower field of view than that during normal recording).

Pentax Optio M20 features
• World time function for 71 cities (28 time zones) worldwide
• Calendar display lets you choose photos by date
• Mode Palette provides quick access to 15 shooting modes and 13 playback modes
• Soft flash function avoids overexposure during close-up flash photography
• Macro mode allows close-up photography as near as 5 cm
• Digital zooming provides up to 4X magnification
• Approximately 21.9MB of built-in memory
• Includes the ACDSee for Pentax image viewer/image management software
• Supports PictBridge, DPOF functions, Exif Print, and PRINT Image Matching III

Pentax Optio M20 - Face recognition and Auto focus
The camera includes Face Recognition AF & AE, which allows you to take bright, beautiful photos of people with perfectly focused faces free of shadows caused by backlighting. This useful function automatically detects the position of the subject’s face anywhere in the photo frame and then adjusts the focus and optimizes the exposure for the detected position. The Pentax Optio M20’s auto-tracking AF feature continuously focuses on subjects such as kids and pets that move around unpredictably. Since the focus frame automatically follows the movement of the subject inside the photo frame, you can capture those instantaneous photo opportunities.

Pentax Optio M20 digital compact camera - 7 Megapixel CCD
The Pentax M20 produces clear images with impressive quality thanks to the high resolution afforded by its 7.0 effective Megapixels and to its high-performance smc Pentax lens. This superlative resolution makes it possible to attain prints with crisp details even when the photo is greatly enlarged.

Pentax M20 - LCD monitor and SDHC memory card
The Pentax Optio M20 comes with a 2.5-inch LCD monitor, which displays subjects’ movement with very little time delay (60 fps). It's easy to view; large monitor and menu display make operation, setting, monitoring, and playback comfortable and easy. The camera also has an auto LCD dimmer function that automatically dims the backlight to optimize the checking of the screen, both indoors and outdoors. The Pentax Optio M20 supports two removable storage media: the conventional SD memory cards and the new SDHC memory cards (SD High Capacity; these memory cards have capacities in excess of 2 GB).

Pentax Optio M20 photo camera - ImageLink
The new Pentax Optio M20 is compatible with the ImageLink printing system, which allows wireless connection of a digital camera to ImageLink-compatible printers. By simply placing the Pentax Optio M20 on the printer’s dock, the user can take advantage of simple, push-button printing of recorded images, without requiring a personal computer.

Any Pens fans in Florida...

Postby topshelf on Sat Feb 25, 2006 11:02 am

... that wanna see the Pens/Lightning game on 4/8? ... dZViewItem

No, these aren't my tickets for sale and I'm not spamming, I just noticed that it is an offer that is hard to pass up. If you read near the bottom of the auction page, it says:

"Bidders: Florida state law limits the resale ticket price for this event location.
This means that bidding will end when the price reaches $65.25. See eBay's ticket policy."

So... if you bid the $65.25 price, you get three upper level tickets to a sold out game. I got mine the same way yesterday. If anyone ends up bidding and winning, drop me a line and we'll see if we can meet up before the game.[/url]

A good deal.

BUT, those seats are WAY UP THERE. I have been to that rink, and the 3rd level is very very far from the ice. Think much higher than F level at the Igloo.

Posted by frankgrimes on Yesterday, 04:31 PM

I think this is to create capspace for Tarasenko otherwise it doesn't make sense at all, they gave Oshie away for peanuts

#2618536 Phil Kessel Traded to Penguins

Posted by frankgrimes on 01 July 2015 - 07:39 PM

Getting out of Toronto was the best thing he's ever done.
I feel that same negative spotlight will be on Babs when Toronto doesn't make the finals next year or wins the cup the year after. But he knew what he was getting into when he went to Toronto.

I think they'll cut him some slack the Leafs are rebuilding and if they try it good luck..Babs is going to tear them apart just like he did with that buffalo reporter lol

#2618512 Wings sign Brad Richards 1 yr, $3 million

Posted by frankgrimes on 01 July 2015 - 07:04 PM

The Richards signing kind of confuses me. I'm not sure what he brings to the table that we don't already have.  I guess he is center depth but we already have so many third-line caliber centers.  We already had veteran presence but I guess they felt we needed a bit more.

Nobody knows when Pasha will be back and it's really a low risk, high reward signing.

#2617661 Weiss bought out (confirmed)

Posted by frankgrimes on 30 June 2015 - 06:36 PM

Oh look after the ridiculous Mantha hype now it's Larkin .. This team isn't going anywhere so why not let him get used to the pro game in the ahl and call him up for a few games here and there

Best of luck to Weiss

#2616954 2015 Draft

Posted by frankgrimes on 27 June 2015 - 11:48 AM

Do you know how asset management works? You deal in a position of surplus. We have way too many forwards, someone is going to be traded.

Yeah and others don't? The only guys who get net a legit top pairing guy are Larkin and Mantha, that's why other teams are only asking for them.

#2616943 2015 Draft

Posted by frankgrimes on 27 June 2015 - 11:42 AM

So wings needed a center and a defenseman they've got 1/2 of a defender and still no center..

Holland just can't help himself with picking undersized guys

#2616893 2015 Draft

Posted by frankgrimes on 27 June 2015 - 10:12 AM

So the oilers paid less for a better goalie than Buffalo did,I don't understand why they didn't just wait?

#2616219 Yzerman wins GM of Year (& other awards discussion)

Posted by frankgrimes on 25 June 2015 - 11:13 AM

Agreed. I was going to say something like this since the Norris has basically become for the defenseman with the most points..

Personally I think a purely offensive defenseman should be in the same category as some other point producers. That would greatly improve the Norris and actually make sure that guys who shouldn't even be in the conversation for the trophy won't take it away from much more deserving players . Or if that's not possible just split it into the best overall defender and the one with the most points that way everyone knows which award is the more important one for a ..defender.

I mean not even nominating Weber, Suter and Keith ? Too bad Giordano for hurt guy would have won otherwise.

#2615910 Will Wings Revisit Signing Phaneuf?

Posted by frankgrimes on 24 June 2015 - 11:26 AM

The best example is how good Phaneuf was when he first entered the league, this guy was heralded as a young Scott Stevens he was that good of an open hitter. I don't need the usual suspects flower power Greenpeace folks to know what I'm expecting from hockey and what I don't expect..sissy hockey, gimmicks such as 7 outdoor games , Rogers instead of Bell, less hitting hip checks, almost non exciting ufa lists...are for sure not things that I associate with hockey neither are showboaters and other questionable grow the game crap.

Anyhow Phaneuf will get dealt and I think he benefit tremendously from it...Toronto is just too tough of a market for most athletes especially if one has the burden of the C

#2615868 Will Wings Revisit Signing Phaneuf?

Posted by frankgrimes on 24 June 2015 - 03:44 AM

I think we can all agree on this finally: hockey in the 90s and pre 2005 was just so much better and more exciting it's not even close. But as long as the stupid BOG doesn't act or finally getting changed to guys like Mr. I, Pegula...we won't see an improvement.

#2615866 2015 Draft

Posted by frankgrimes on 24 June 2015 - 03:39 AM

First the mantha and 1st rounder nonsense and now at the end of hockeycentral damian cox mentioned the redwings when they mentioned a few teams that could draft Ilya samsonov

Seriously? Think everyone knows detroit needs defensemen and not a Russian goalie when they got petr mrazek emerging ... Guys always saying bulls***

It's Damian Cox so

Personally I think the Wings should look at the option of trading down for Werensky, big hulking defenseman and in my mind the second best one in the draft after Hanifin.
http://www.sbncolleg...l-draft-profile guy is exactly what the doctor ordered

Plus he is a local boy so that adds some extra plus

#2615863 OT Changes

Posted by frankgrimes on 24 June 2015 - 03:25 AM

I just don't get it, if the NHL(PA) and all others do hate the shootout so much either get rid of it or if for whatever reason they don't want to do that let it be the way it always was and hopefully will always be.

This 3:3 is just turning this thing into another gimmick,
like we've needed more gimmicks in a our game, which is more and more becoming something it shouldn't be.

#2615554 Players who might be available due to teams cap issues

Posted by frankgrimes on 21 June 2015 - 06:05 AM

Chicago is not going to trade Seabrook because that guy is a huge reason why Keith can do what he does all the time, jump in on the offense and score. When I'm thinking of Keith, Seabrook I'm thinking of a marginal lesser top pairing than what Weber/Suter were a few years ago.

Hawks will move a lot of players before Seabrook I think after Toews, Kane and Keith he is by far their most valuable player.

A few years ago the Wings had the chance to offer-sheet Pietrangelo with a Weberlike contract (before the new CBA) but didn't something I still can't understand till today. Sure Franson will cash in and I can see teams like Dallas, Calgary lining up with trucks of money for his services, maybe even Boychuck like :(

#2615546 Players who might be available due to teams cap issues

Posted by frankgrimes on 21 June 2015 - 03:10 AM

Bickel makes 4 million per year for the next 4 years and was a healthy scratch..good fourth liner with third line upside but there are much better options available for the fourth line and especially cheaper ones

#2615025 Jets re-sign Anthony Peluso for only 675.000 AAV (2 years)
