What is a percentile?

Your percentile is a value between 1 and 100 that indicates the percentage of players ranked below you. For instance, if you are ranked higher than 70% of all players, then you would be in the 70th percentile.

Why do you chart the percentile instead of the rank?

The number of ranked players in the TennisRecruiting.net lists changes from week to week, and the differences can be dramatic over long periods of time. For example, there may be only 500 players ranked before the busy summer season - and 1000 players ranked at the end. With these changes, your ranking may change significantly over long periods of time - and these changes are not necessarily correlated with your performance.

We have found that percentile does not fluctuate as widely as the raw rankings and better correlates with performance. Using percentiles makes the historical ranking charts more meaningful.

Why does the chart start at the 50th percentile?

The pool of players considered is much bigger than the players that we rank. Just meeting the eligibility requirements of our lists in terms of wins is an accomplishment. Since more than 50% of the players are ineligible across all classes, we decided to show from 50 to 100.

In response to Re: low-profile toilets

: Terry,

: Really enjoyed your report on low flow toilets. However, my wife wants a banjo arm over the toilet so that she can have more area for plants, flowers, soaps, towels, etc. Our contractor starts in about two weeks. We were thinking about the Kohler Rialto, but your comment about water depth and surface area quickly changed our minds. The Kohler Rosario (25" 1/2 tall) and the Toto Supreme unit (23" 1/2 tall) and will both fit under the banjo arm and hopefully leave enough room to work on them should something go wrong. We are leaning toward the Toto because it is shorter and because the UltraMax was so highly rated. Would you concur or should we consider another toilet?

Dave & Carolyn,
I would lean toward the Toto Supreme too. It's a good unit. Terry

TeXnicCenter accessible to the whole world

Written by Tino Weinkauf on . Posted in Uncategorized

SourceForge.net is our provider of development and download services. Last month they decided to exclude users from Cuba, Iran, North Korea and other countries from downloading our and other software hosted on their site; thereby following US export restrictions. I (and I am confident that the rest of the team follows me on this one) believe that export restrictions are not compatible to the spirit of Free Software. Furthermore, TeXnicCenter is predominantly developed in Germany, i.e., US law does not apply. And even if US law would apply, we do not use any technology that is subject to US export restrictions (e.g., encryption). Hence, the exclusion of some of our users by SourceForge was a big disappointment to me and triggered thoughts about switching to a different site.

Yesterday, SourceForge announced that they changed this policy in the following way: every project can now decide whether they fall under the US export restrictions or not. If not, project admins are able to open the download service for their project to the whole world. This is exactly what I did today. TeXnicCenter downloads served by SourceForge are (again) available to all our users.

If someone experiences problems downloading our software and believes that this is related to the matter described above, please contact me.

We are grateful for SourceForge’s great service and are very happy about their change in policy.

The new power of The Flash #2

Posted by CB Droege

The first issue of the new Flash, as part of the New 52 event, wasn’t really all that much to behold.

It was a well introduced story, but not a particularly compelling one. Basically, Barry Allen had some trouble with the law and is worried about his identity being revealed.

However, the second book picks up the slack, as the audience learns what will be different about the New 52 Flash.

He is endowed with a new power, of sorts. Meaning, the Speed Energy Flash's body taps into is being fully utilized, but his brain is not properly taking advanatge of it.

Suddenly, he’s capable of tapping his brain, as well as his body in to the Speed Energy. As you can probably guess, this part was both a little forced and a little fast.

I would have been more pleased if it had taken some more practice to get it to work - although, I guess this is The Flash, afterall - but the result is a cool new ability. Yes, Barry gains the power to analyze a situation, seeing all the causal elements of it in an instant and allowing him to use his bodily speed to interact with the causality of future events.

This is established in the story with a simple example scene. Out on the street, Barry sees a potential sequence of events with his newly-fast brain: an old man is going to be killed by a thief fleeing a corner store, while a boy is about to be hit by a car.

With his new power, Barry figures out what to do. He swipes a single apple from a market stall, making the rest start to fall, and sets off a chain of events that saves the life of the old man and the boy. He does it so quickly that no one around even know that he was there to do it. His conversation isn’t even interrupted.

This is an interesting new aspect to the character, and could create some compelling moments for the line. Yes, he can do more, and be more helpful than ever with this new-found ability, but what are the drawbacks?

Surely he’ll discover in the upcoming issue that using his speed this way causes some kind of problem.

So, while the plot of this Flash book has been a bit slow so far, the introduction of changes to the character make it fun, and surely worth picking up.

The Flash #2 is available wherever you pick up your comics, including the comiXology store.

Aliens and bounty hunters hunt fugitive Riddick

Posted by TG Daily Staff

Universal Pictures has kicked off principal photography for Riddick, an action-oriented sci-fi thriller.

The latest chapter in the franchise continues the space saga that began with Pitch Black (2000) and The Chronicles of Riddick in 2004.

Aliens and bounty hunters hunt fugitive Riddick

As expected, Vin Diesel is reprising his role as the antihero Riddick, a dangerous, escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy.

Riddick - penned by writer/director David Twohy - opens with the infamous fugitive who has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless.

Soon, however, Riddick finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he's encountered. The only way off the desolate rock is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their lucrative bounty.

The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of mercenaries, more lethal and violent than previously encountered by Riddick, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of the fugitive is infinitely more personal.

In addition to Vin Diesel, the film stars Urban (Star Trek, The Bourne Supremacy) as Vaako, and introduces Santana, the arrogant captain of the mercenary ship; Matt Nable (Killer Elite) as Boss Johns, a man looking for answers; Katee Sackhoff (TV's Battlestar Galactica) as the Nordic mercenary Dahl; and Bokeem Woodbine (upcoming Total Recall) as bounty hunter Moss.

Other cast members include Dave Bautista (the scorpion king 3:Battle for Redemption), Conrad Pla (Immortals), Raoul Trujillo (Apocalypto), Nolan Funk (TV's Aliens in America) and two-time Grammy Award-nominated singer Keri Hilson.

Riddick is slated to hit theaters in 2013.

University of Michigan builds a next-gen solar car

Posted by Nino Marchetti, EarthTechling

The University of Michigan is known for being among the best of the annual North American Solar Challenge, netting the top spot in the solar-powered electric car race seven times.

In the regular World Solar Challenge, however, it has been more of a contender instead – coming in third place five times. Perhaps this year its newest lopsided solar car, called Generation, might change that.

The World Solar Challenge is an 1,800-mile, week-long endurance contest across the continent of Australia that takes place every other fall, according to the university. More than 100 members from schools and colleges across the college, as well as major sponsors such as Ford and Siemens, are involved in this American entry for the Challenge.

With the most significant change for this year being that entries had to have four wheels instead of three, the team behind Generation had to essentially start from scratch and outline a new vehicle shape. As a result, the component they

had the most leeway with wasn’t the wheels, but rather the driver’s seat—nicknamed the “butt bucket” by the team because that’s essentially what it is. In the old three-wheeled cars, the butt bucket was situated right behind the front wheel—encased in the same fairing, actually.

Under the new rules, the wheels can’t be right next to each other, so if the team were to arrange them like wheels in a regular car, the bucket would hang down below the lower surface, reducing the car’s efficiency. So the team didn’t put it there.

“We have the driver and two wheels all in one giant fairing on the left side of the car and on the right side, we have two small fairings—one for each wheel,” said Eric Hausman, team project manager and senior in industrial and operations engineering, in a statement. “Aerodynamically, it’s about creating as few bumps on the surface as possible. The design also reduces shading of the solar cells by placing the canopy to the side.”

The end result of this significant shift in the vehicle? What’s billed as a “calculated effort to design the most efficient car possible.” Some might describe Generation as being reminiscent of a motorcycle with a sidecar from the front, but whatever the look, how it plays out when it actually hits the roads in Australia should be an interesting and exciting time for those racing it.

Spain's reign not merely on the wane: it's over

Spain's reign not merely on the wane: it's over

And so it was official. The reign of Spain was not merely on the wane – it was over.
But this was no hard luck story. No tale of near misses, or if onlys. It was a 90-minute clubbing of a once-mighty empire.
Of red-shirted men who had been elevated to almost mythical status with two European Championships and a World Cup in the last six years.
Here, in the magnificent Maracana, the chants of 'ole ole ole, Chile, Chile' and 'E-lim-inado' served as a funereal dirge for the Spaniards who are lurching from crisis to embarrassment at this World Cup.
At the end La Roja were left red-faced.
Humbled 5-1 by the Netherlands in the opening match of their title defense last Friday, observers, and no doubt the Chileans, had been braced for a proud and angry response.
Instead the Spaniards were once more bulldozed. The 2-0 scoreline was kinder, but the manner of defeat no easier to stomach for a side used to sweeping all before them.
Reputation alone is never enough, however, and the simple truth is their tiki-taka style of play which won these men such riches proved as effective as tap-dancing in a cage fight.
Sunday league stopper
As was the case against the Dutch last week, it simply was not enough against stronger, livelier and, frankly, hungrier opponents.
It was not that Spain lost, it was the manner of the defeat which rankled.
Once again goalkeeper Iker Casillas played less like the most-capped player of the world champions and more like a Sunday League stopper.
He allowed Eduardo Vargas to skip around him for the first goal, and comically punched a free-kick straight back towards the boot of Charles Aranguiz for Chile’s second.

It would not be accurate to place all the blame on Casillas, for he was joined in terms of mediocrity by most of his team mates.
The Chileans were sharper on the break. They were more robust in the challenge. Their passes were crisper.
Diego Costa, the Brazilian who deserted the land of his birth to play for the Spaniards, was blunt up front. So Spain turned to Fernando Torres – himself no stranger to fading fortunes.
Perhaps unsurprisingly the once-magical Torres failed to spark any kind of revival as the Spaniards labored through the latter stages of this contest.
Like schoolboys blinking back tears in the playground, they ran and they harried. They fought frustration.
But with the swagger sucked out of them, first by a crushing defeat and then by a pugnacious Chilean side, they failed to ever get a foothold in this match.
On the day King Carlos of Spain abdicated his throne, his once glorious footballers found they would advance no further and will return home at the end of the first stage.

Nolletti is money: Big shot helps Northwestern hold off Waynedale

By MIKE PLANT Daily Record Sports Writer Published:

WEST SALEM -- With the game's outcome hanging in the balance, Malachi Nolletti didn't think -- he just trusted his shot and let it fly.

When his 3-pointer hit nothing but net, Northwestern had its third straight win to start the season.

Nolletti's long-range swish with 46 seconds left to play snapped a 48-all tie and lifted the Huskies to a hard-earned 53-50 Wayne County Athletic League victory over visiting Waynedale Friday night.

The 6-foot-2 junior guard scored eight of his game-high 22 points in the final 3:15, enabling Northwestern (3-0, 1-0) to finally subdue the determined Golden Bears (0-3, 0-2).

With the score knotted and the clock under a minute, Northwestern's Drew Kline drew a double-team and passed the ball to a wide-open Nolletti on the wing. Nolletti collected the pass and didn't hestitate, rising up and drilling the 3-pointer. Kevin Short's short shot from the baseline got the Bears within one (0:21), but Tyler Smith made a pair of foul shots (0:14) and Waynedale's Matt Kick had his attempt at a game-tying 3 rim out.

The Huskies made just two 3-pointers in 12 tries, but both were from Nolletti late in the fourth quarter.

"It felt good," said Nolletti of his big shot. "I didn't think about the consequences, I just stepped into it.

"We didn't rebound tonight and let them have too many second chances," he added, "but we scrapped and found a way. You can't win the league if you can't win games like this, so this was a huge one."

Waynedale, with its tallest player just 6-2, withstood an 18-of-58 shooting night and 21 turnovers by outrebounding the bigger Huskies by a whopping 51-28 margin, and the Bears grabbed 26 of those boards on the offensive end.

On one trip early in the second

quarter, Brandon Hawkins scored on the Bears' third try of the possession to give the visitors a 19-12 lead. But the Huskies came right back with six straight points by Kline (10 points), and neither team would lead by more than four the rest of the night. Northwestern led 28-26 at the half, and Brandon Covert just beat the third-quarter buzzer to put the Huskies up 39-38.

Matt Kick, who paced the Bears with 17 points, dropped in a short jumper for a 42-39 advantage, but Northwestern scored the next seven points to go ahead 46-42. But Ben Kick snatched one of his six offensive rebounds and put it back in, Short hit both ends of a one-and-one, and Ben Kick answered Nolletti's basket with two more free throws (1:25).

Kline then missed a shot, but Waynedale couldn't connect on three tries on its next possession, giving the ball back to Northwestern and setting up what turned into the game-winner by Nolletti.

"They knew we were going to try and go inside, and we did -- Kline got 13 shots," Northwestern coach Mark Alberts Jr. said. "But they doubled on him and it seemed like they came from everywhere, so the guards got some good looks. We wanted to be patient, and if they were double-teaming inside, Malachi's been knocking his 3's down -- he's really worked on his shooting."

Like last weekend, when Waynedale lost to league favorite Dalton by a point, the Bears had plenty of chances but couldn't cash in.

"It sounds like a broken record, but we're just not making the plays when it counts and other teams are," Waynedale coach Erich Riebe said. "Give Malachi Nolletti credit, he hit two big 3s, but what it comes down to is that we've had a chance to beat the two league favorites and just didn't make the plays down the stretch.

"I can't fault the effort, the effort's there, but it's all about execution," Riebe added. "Teams in this league know each other so well, so it boils down to execution, and right now, we're not doing it when it counts. Sooner or later, we've got to get over that hump."

Matt Kick added seven rebounds to his 17-point night, while Ben Kick just missed a double-double with 10 points and nine boards. The Bears made just 1-of-18 3-pointers.

Nolletti and Kline were the two Huskies in double figures, with Smith pulling in six rebounds and Nolletti five. Northwestern was 17-of-46 from the field and a solid 17-of-23 at the foul line.

"Down the stretch, Malachi made his plays, Matt Kohler hit two free throws, Tyler Smith took a charge -- those guys did it on the football field this year, and they're finding ways to do it on the basketball court," Alberts said. "Those guys just aren't willing to lose.

"As the year goes on, games like this help," he added. "They've been through it, they've figured out ways to get it done.

"You have to find ways to make plays at the end, and, fortunately, we did tonight."

Matt White has been sacked as men's road co-ordinator by Cycling Australia (CA) after he admitted to doping during his time with Lance Armstrong's US Postal team.

White had already stood down as Orica-GreenEDGE sports director and CA road co-ordinator on Saturday.

CA agreed his position was untenable.

"In that role (as elite men's road co-ordinator, White) has made a significant, valuable contribution to our men's national teams and at no time do we believe his influence or actions went against the best interests of the sport," the CA board said in a statement on Wednesday.

"However, the admissions contained within his public statement of 13 October clearly place him in breach of the CA Anti-Doping Policy and Code of Conduct.

"Accordingly, the board has determined that his ongoing employment with CA is untenable and Matt was formally advised overnight of the termination of his contract."

CA also said the sport's world governing body, the UCI, had not done enough in the fight against performance-enhancing drugs.

"We acknowledge that there is now clear evidence that the UCI, until recent times, failed to fully and properly do its part to stamp out doping," said the CA board.

"We stand by our belief that the UCI deserves significant credit in a number of areas, namely its persistence in dealing with the Operation Puerto files and the groundbreaking introduction of the Biological Passport.

"We believe there is also reasonable evidence to support the view that the current professional peloton is much 'cleaner' and fair competition is now taking place. However, we concede questions do remain.

"How the UCI responds to the USADA file and how it addresses the allegations within it will be critical to the reputation of the organisation and that of the sport of cycling."

The CA board also decided not to back a possible amnesty against cycling drug cheats, as it "is not consistent with CA's strong anti-doping position".

The prospect of an amnesty had been flagged by CA president Klaus Mueller.

But CA did support the proposal to criminalise doping.

Casey Bennetto's Keating! The Musical premiered at the Comedy Festival two years ago. It won every gong there was to win. Since then, it has toured the country and been revamped in collaboration with Neil Armfield.

After playing to packed houses for more than two months in Sydney, Keating! returns to its spiritual home with some cast changes and six new songs.

The show (which I didn't see first time around at the 90-seat Trades Hall) is inspired political satire, an art that under Prime Minister John Howard seems to have lost some of its power to effect change.

It's hard to imagine anyone writing a musical about Howard. Paul Keating, on the other hand, is an ideal subject. As treasurer and prime minister, Keating probably did more to set Australia down the path of economic rationalism than Howard. But he did it in style: wearing Italian suits, with strains of Mahler floating down the hallway, and a growing collection of antique clocks counting down the minutes until his inevitable demise.

Keating's mastery of invective made him the terror of question time. More importantly, his big-picture politics were not informed by cultural paranoia, but by a progressive idealism.

The republic, multiculturalism, reconciliation - he showed that bottom lines and bleeding hearts, vision and housekeeping, were not incompatible.

Bennetto's irreverent ode to the rise and fall of Keating is hilarious. The lyrics seem to sprout organically from memorable political sound-bites, the music is catchy and stylistically promiscuous. And Bennetto's wit is as incisive and vicious as his subject's.

So we get Keating (Mike McLeish) entering with top hat and cane for a spot of tap-dancing, to Porter-esque rhymes such as: "Whenya in a Zegna then you're on your way." After toppling Hawke (Terry Serio), he breaks into a big reggae number, The Ruler of the Land.

There's a hip-hop duet by Keating and John Hewson (Eddie Perfect) over the "unloseable election" that segues into a menacing croon, I Wanna Do You Slowly, complete with pelvic thrusts. McLeish energetically slicks his way through a Mabo mambo, a tribute to the Redfern speech, a tune called The Arse End of the Earth, and a ballad, The Light on the Hill, that might restore your faith in politics.

As for the love duet between Gareth Evans and Cheryl Kernot, it has to be seen to be believed.

Eddie Perfect's moment of glory comes as Alexander Downer. He appears in fish-nets and corsetry, and gives pressing the flesh with the audience a whole new meaning.

Terry Serio as Howard works his way into the comic impersonation - his biting parody during The Mate Ship is a scream, and a balm to Howard-haters everywhere.

The band - Alon Ilsar (drums) Eden Ottingen (bass) Enio Pozzebon (keyboards) Emanuel Schmidt (acoustic guitar) Mick Stuart (electric guitar/saxophone) - are sensational, and ham up their part in the comic scheme.

On opening night the man himself made a guest appearance, and it was amusing to see Keating rendered less than eloquent by the staggeringly funny spectacle before him. He did, however, manage a parting shot for his successor: "The desiccated coconut's going to get his comeuppance, don't you worry."

Alabama Baptists donate 8,300 Buckets of Hope for quake victims in Haiticomment (0)

March 25, 2010

Alabama Baptists collected roughly 8,300 Buckets of Hope for Haiti, providing nearly a quarter of a million meals to help victims of a Jan. 12 earthquake there.

The donations, which far exceeded the state’s goal of about 3,000, went toward the total of 132,000 buckets collected by Baptists across the nation during the project.

“I’m just overwhelmed by the level of response. There was a lot of work done by a lot of volunteers from across the state,” said Mel Johnson, state disaster relief strategist for Alabama Baptists.

Churches and individuals across the state adopted the effort as a missions project to benefit people in the devastated nation. The buckets aimed to meet immediate needs with specific provisions such as flour, cooking oil, rice and other foodstuffs.

A label on the bucket printed in English, Creole and French tells Haitians that the buckets are a “gift of love from Southern Baptists.” Now waiting at shipping points in Shreveport, La., and Jacksonville, Fla., the 132,000 buckets will be sent in staggered shipments over several months.

Other states contributed thousands of buckets to the total, such as Florida with more than 30,000 and Kentucky with 15,000. (TAB, NAMB)

The Amp Hour is a show that Chris and Dave do for fun. We love being able to chat once a week and that people actually want to hear what we have to say after the fact. Getting to talk to each other, industry experts as guests and all of our listeners (by email or in the comments section) gives us lots of enjoyment. We have time to give and hopefully it shows in what we’re able to produce for you. Whether you’re listening in the car, at the gym or while soldering at your bench, hopefully you find at least part of every show to be enjoyable and educational.

While we have time and effort to give to the show, we have limited monetary resources to donate. We do not get any payment from doing the show, nor do we expect it. However, we do have some expenses and we would love to be able to offer even more for you, the listener, in terms of upgraded servers and other features like transcribed shows. We have lots of ideas about what we can do to make the show better, but limited resources that gates how much of this can be done.

So we decided to give the option for our listeners to support the show through a recurring donation. As of this writing, we have about 2500 regular listeners. We hope to expand the show so there are even more in the future. We think that if even a small number of you can help, it will allow us to expand our operation and produce more content for you in a faster manner. Again, contributions will only fund show expenses and Dave and I will not take any kind of personal money from the fund.

So we have 5 different set levels of donation available for you, ranging from $1 to $20 per month. We also are allowing custom, one time donations if that is how you prefer to donate. We appreciate anything and everything you decide to give. While this donation is not tax deductible (in the US or otherwise), it is another form of feedback for the show. If you don’t like what we’re doing or the direction we’re going, you have the power of the purse! You giveth and you can taketh away (though hopefully you’ll also say why you’re taking away!).

So, if the mood strikes you and you get value from The Amp Hour, please help us out. With the lowest donation level amounting to roughly $0.25 per show, hopefully there’s at least one level you find suits your fancy. Thanks for helping out!

Interview with Pixar’s Partly Cloudy director

The folks over at AWN had the opportunity to interview Peter Sohn, director of the new Pixar short film, “Partly Cloudy.” The short will play before Pixar’s upcoming feature “Up,” in theaters May 29. Peter Sohn was previously an animator/story artist on various Pixar films, including Ratatouille, The Incredibles and Finding Nemo.

AWN: Talk about the pitch and how it went from there.

Peter Sohn: The original pitch was just as I explained: There’s the world of storks that deliver babies, but where do they get these babies from? And my answer was obviously the clouds. And I had done some drawings of these cloud characters — taking some photos and Photoshopping eyes and a nose in and then having some birds all flocking up to the skies. I pitched this story of a smaller gray cloud that [lived below and] made some of the dangerous babies. And I showed John these images and he touched on one of them and said let’s start developing this one. And that was close to a year-and-a-half ago and it’s been a really interesting learning experience for me. Obviously, this is my first [short]. It really is like raising a baby. I felt very much like Gus during this thing — making something and wanting people to like it.

Casco Bay Island Compound
Medieval Castle in the Midwest
Gaudy Gilded-Age Mansion

Location: Augusta, Montana

Price: $5,500,000

This guest ranch in northern Montana has been run by the same family for some three generations, not as a passion project but as a profitable business. As an inholding, meaning a pocket of private land surrounded by public lands, the property is only accessible by foot, horseback, boat, or helicopter, which helps to preserve the rustic feel of the 40-acre ranch. Forty acres may sound like small potatoes to ranch aficionados, but the easy access to public wilderness makes the property seem larger and, with 13 guest cabins and a main lodge, the ranch can house some 30 guests plus staff. It has been featured in national nature and travel magazines, including Travel + Leisure, which commented on the quaint, redundant outhouse.

A prominent legal liberal once said, "You know what would be like Christmas morning? Pam Karlan nominated to the Supreme Court." Why is Karlan the dream choice, the "Scalia of the left?" Because she brings to bear just not a great mind but a great mouth: Karlan is about the wittiest speaker (and writer) who is also a genuinely brilliant legal scholar. And she would make history as America's first openly gay justice.

Karlan always seems to grace the media's short-list but never the president's. Not that she expects to:  "I can tell you what I really think," Karlan told me, "because I don't ever have to worry about a confirmation." The following is a condensed version of our conversation--about what she "really thinks" of the Kagan hearings:

BG: What was your reaction to watching the hearings this week? Did anything about them surprise you?

PK:  I thought they were more revealing about the state of politics and the state of the Senate than they were about Kagan. I found it fascinating that Justice Marshall became the example of what Republicans don't want in a judge--a rather odd and scary thing.

BG:  We'll come back to Justice Marshall, but were these particular hearings--to quote Kagan--a "vapid and hollow charade"?

PK: Well they weren't super illuminating. They were a little illuminating in the sense that Kagan refused to tow the "umpire" line, which was useful. I mean, in interpreting the Constitution, everybody looks at the text, everybody thinks about the original meaning and the consequences. Constitutional analysis is multifaceted. What gets to the Supreme Court are hard cases and there's no mechanical answer to decide them.

BG: Did Kagan break any new ground in terms of what nominees can say without shooting themselves?

PK: No.

BG: But when she said she opposes "don't ask don't tell," should she have really done that if the standard is, don't comment on stuff that may come before the Court?

PK: Nobody takes seriously the idea that you can't comment before you get to the Court. Everybody comments on Brown and that comes before the Court. So many cases are about what Brown means, does it apply to affirmative action, and other issues.

BG: How would you have answered Senator Coburn's question--obviously just a way to ask about the the individual mandate in the health care law--that if the Congress passed a law mandating every American to eat three fruits and vegetables a day, and it were signed by the president, would the Commerce Clause allow it?

PK: That's just such an inane question. It presupposes what Congress would do. And the question would be, under what circumstances? What would their aims be? The problem with the analogy is that individuals have a liberty interest in choosing what to eat. They have a right to bodily autonomy in terms of what they ingest. The question the Court would ask is how do you balance government's legitimate interests against the rights of individuals. And I think what you eat every day is quite a different kind of balance, quite a different kind of intrusion, than saying you have to buy insurance. You don't even have to accept the health care. But today, you can't drive a car unless you buy a license--the government forces you to do that, and buy insurance. You can't travel abroad unless you pay the government for a passport.

BG: Do you agree with Senator Graham's definition that an activist judge "is somebody who rules the way you don't like?"

PK: Bertrand Russell was once asked how to conjugate an irregular verb. And he said the way he does it is, "I am firm, you are obstinate, he is a pig-headed fool." Well, it's true for how people view judges, "I'm principled, you're results-oriented, he's an activist." Lindsey Graham is absolutely right about this.

BG: Should Kagan have been clearer about her views? Should she have said more?

PK: What possible advantage does she have in doing that? She's got a bully pulpit to educate people and share her views once she's on the Court. That's a much bigger platform than if she's rejected.

BG: Do you agree with the idea, in the wake of the 2nd Amendment cases and Citizens United, that legal conservatives are the new activists?

PK: Look, both sides are willing to strike down laws. Conservatives would strike down laws liberals would uphold and liberals would strike down laws conservatives would uphold. How can you say one is activist? It's about which parts of the Constitution you think are at play and which parts reach the issue that's in front of you. Scalia, for example, is expansive in his view of what speech means but not in his view of what liberty means.

BG: Do you worry at all about Kagan's relative dearth of experience--either in terms of practicing law or not having served as a judge?

PK: It'll be interesting to see. It depends on the kinds of cases she decides. None of these people [on the current Court] has had extensive experience defending a criminal defendant. None of these folks has extensive experience litigating structural reform cases. Thurgood Marshall did both.

BG: Speaking of Thurgood Marshall, why do you think we saw all these attacks on his record?

PK: Part of it was convenience. It's a way to tar her as a liberal. The only outright liberals with whom she's associated, as opposed to Democrats, are Ab Mikva or Thurgood Marshall. Most Americans are never going to understand who Ab Mikva is. So, fortituously, she clerked for Marshall. I guess some parts of the Republican Party feel safe forgetting the civil rights struggle because of Barack Obama and the bridge. I mean, Marshall went on the Supreme Court the year of Loving [the case that struck down Virginia's law prohibiting interracial marriage]. People forget what America was like before Thurgood Marshall. People can think that he was some crazy radical man. But if you think he was wrong, then you think Brown was wrong. It's staggering Orrin Hatch would say he's not sure he could confirm Marshall who was the greatest lawyer of his generation, who did more to bring about the Constitution we know and celebrate than anyone else
of his generation.

BG: Which senator do you think handled himself or herself most effectively?

PK: Well, it's hard to do this without bringing your biases. I thought Klobuchar was terrific, I thought Franken was terrific. Those two seemed to be the most personally invested in their questions.

Full disclosure: I was a student of Karlan's earlier this year. And yes, I received my grade months ago, so I actually believe what I wrote above.

Facebook’s News Feed—the main list of status updates, messages, and photos you see when you open Facebook on your computer or phone—is not a perfect mirror of the world.

But few users expect that Facebook would change their News Feed in order to manipulate their emotional state.

We now know that’s exactly what happened two years ago. For one week in January 2012, data scientists skewed what almost 700,000 Facebook users saw when they logged into its service. Some people were shown content with a preponderance of happy and positive words; some were shown content analyzed as sadder than average. And when the week was over, these manipulated users were more likely to post either especially positive or negative words themselves.

This tinkering was just revealed as part of a new study, published in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Many previous studies have used Facebook data to examine “emotional contagion,” as this one did. This study is different because, while other studies have observed Facebook user data, this one set out to manipulate it.

The experiment is almost certainly legal. In the company’s current terms of service, Facebook users relinquish the use of their data for data analysis, testing, [and] research.” Is it ethical, though? Since news of the study first emerged, I’ve seen and heard both privacy advocates and casual users express surprise at the audacity of the experiment.

We’re tracking the ethical, legal, and philosophical response to this Facebook experiment here. We’ve also asked the authors of the study for comment. Author Jamie Guillory replied and referred us to a Facebook spokesman. Early Sunday morning, a Facebook spokesman sent this comment in an email:

This research was conducted for a single week in 2012 and none of the data used was associated with a specific person’s Facebook account. We do research to improve our services and to make the content people see on Facebook as relevant and engaging as possible. A big part of this is understanding how people respond to different types of content, whether it’s positive or negative in tone, news from friends, or information from pages they follow. We carefully consider what research we do and have a strong internal review process. There is no unnecessary collection of people’s data in connection with these research initiatives and all data is stored securely.

And on Sunday afternoon, Adam D.I. Kramer, one of the study’s authors and a Facebook employee, commented on the experiment in a public Facebook post. “And at the end of the day, the actual impact on people in the experiment was the minimal amount to statistically detect it,” he writes. “Having written and designed this experiment myself, I can tell you that our goal was never to upset anyone. […] In hindsight, the research benefits of the paper may not have justified all of this anxiety.”

Kramer adds that Facebook’s internal review practices have “come a long way” since 2012, when the experiment was run.

What did the paper itself find?

The study found that by manipulating the News Feeds displayed to 689,003 Facebook users users, it could affect the content which those users posted to Facebook. More negative News Feeds led to more negative status messages, as more positive News Feeds led to positive statuses.

As far as the study was concerned, this meant that it had shown “that emotional states can be transferred to others via emotional contagion, leading people to experience the same emotions without their awareness.” It touts that this emotional contagion can be achieved without “direct interaction between people” (because the unwitting subjects were only seeing each others’ News Feeds).

The researchers add that never during the experiment could they read individual users’ posts.

Two interesting things stuck out to me in the study.

The first? The effect the study documents is very small, as little as one-tenth of a percent of an observed change. That doesn’t mean it’s unimportant, though, as the authors add:

Given the massive scale of social networks such as Facebook, even small effects can have large aggregated consequences. […] After all, an effect size of d = 0.001 at Facebook’s scale is not negligible: In early 2013, this would have corresponded to hundreds of thousands of emotion expressions in status updates per day.

The second was this line:

Omitting emotional content reduced the amount of words the person subsequently produced, both when positivity was reduced (z = −4.78, P < 0.001) and when negativity was reduced (z = −7.219, P < 0.001).

In other words, when researchers reduced the appearance of either positive or negative sentiments in people’s News Feeds—when the feeds just got generally less emotional—those people stopped writing so many words on Facebook.

Make people’s feeds blander and they stop typing things into Facebook.

Was the study well designed?

Perhaps not, says John Grohol, the founder of psychology website Psych Central. Grohol believes the study’s methods are hampered by the misuse of tools: Software better matched to analyze novels and essays, he says, is being applied toward the much shorter texts on social networks.

Let’s look at two hypothetical examples of why this is important. Here are two sample tweets (or status updates) that are not uncommon:

  • “I am not happy.
  • “I am not having a great day.”

An independent rater or judge would rate these two tweets as negative — they’re clearly expressing a negative emotion. That would be +2 on the negative scale, and 0 on the positive scale.

But the LIWC 2007 tool doesn’t see it that way. Instead, it would rate these two tweets as scoring +2 for positive (because of the words “great” and “happy”) and +2 for negative (because of the word “not” in both texts).

What the Facebook researchers clearly show,” writes Grohol, “is that they put too much faith in the tools they’re using without understanding — and discussing — the tools’ significant limitations.”

Did an institutional review board (IRB)—an independent ethics committee that vets research that involves humans—approve the experiment?

According to a Cornell University press statement on Monday, the experiment was conducted before an IRB was consulted.* Cornell professor Jeffrey Hancock—an author of the study—began working on the results after Facebook had conducted the experiment. Hancock only had access to results, says the release, so “Cornell University’s Institutional Review Board concluded that he was not directly engaged in human research and that no review by the Cornell Human Research Protection Program was required.”

In other words, the experiment had already been run, so its human subjects were beyond protecting. Assuming the researchers did not see users’ confidential data, the results of the experiment could be examined without further endangering any subjects.

Both Cornell and Facebook have been reluctant to provide details about the process beyond their respective prepared statments. One of the study's authors told The Atlantic on Monday that he’s been advised by the university not to speak to reporters.

By the time the study reached Susan Fiske, the Princeton University psychology professor who edited the study for publication, Cornell’s IRB members had already determined it outside of their purview.

Fiske had earlier conveyed to The Atlantic that the experiment was IRB-approved.

“I was concerned,” Fiske told The Atlantic on Saturday, “until I queried the authors and they said their local institutional review board had approved it—and apparently on the grounds that Facebook apparently manipulates people's News Feeds all the time.”

On Sunday, other reports raised questions about how an IRB was consulted. In a Facebook post on Sunday, study author Adam Kramer referenced only “internal review practices.” And a Forbes report that day, citing an unnamed source, claimed that Facebook only used an internal review.

When The Atlantic asked Fiske to clarify Sunday, she said the researchers’ “revision letter said they had Cornell IRB approval as a ‘pre-existing dataset’ presumably from FB, who seems to have reviewed it as well in some unspecified way... Under IRB regulations, pre-existing dataset would have been approved previously and someone is just analyzing data already collected, often by someone else.”

The mention of a “pre-existing dataset” here matters because, as Fiske explained in a follow-up email, "presumably the data already existed when they applied to Cornell IRB.” (She also noted: “I am not second-guessing the decision.”) Cornell’s Monday statement confirms this presumption.

On Saturday, Fiske said that she didn’t want the “the originality of the research” to be lost, but called the experiment “an open ethical question.”

“It's ethically okay from the regulations perspective, but ethics are kind of social decisions. There's not an absolute answer. And so the level of outrage that appears to be happening suggests that maybe it shouldn't have been done...I'm still thinking about it and I'm a little creeped out, too.”

For more, check Atlantic editor Adrienne LaFrance’s full interview with Prof. Fiske.

From what we know now, were the experiment’s subjects able to provide informed consent?

In its ethical principles and code of conduct, the American Psychological Association (APA) defines informed consent like this:

When psychologists conduct research or provide assessment, therapy, counseling, or consulting services in person or via electronic transmission or other forms of communication, they obtain the informed consent of the individual or individuals using language that is reasonably understandable to that person or persons except when conducting such activities without consent is mandated by law or governmental regulation or as otherwise provided in this Ethics Code.

As mentioned above, the research seems to have been carried out under Facebook’s extensive terms of service. The company’s current data use policy, which governs exactly how it may use users’ data, runs to more than 9,000 words and uses the word “research” twice. But as Forbes writer Kashmir Hill reported Monday night, the data use policy in effect when the experiment was conducted never mentioned “research” at all—the word wasn’t inserted until May 2012

Never mind whether the current data use policy constitutes “language that is reasonably understandable”: Under the January 2012 terms of service, did Facebook secure even shaky consent?

The APA has further guidelines for so-called “deceptive research” like this, where the real purpose of the research can’t be made available to participants during research. The last of these guidelines is:

Psychologists explain any deception that is an integral feature of the design and conduct of an experiment to participants as early as is feasible, preferably at the conclusion of their participation, but no later than at the conclusion of the data collection, and permit participants to withdraw their data.

At the end of the experiment, did Facebook tell the user-subjects that their News Feeds had been altered for the sake of research? If so, the study never mentions it.

James Grimmelmann, a law professor at the University of Maryland, believes the study did not secure informed consent. And he adds that Facebook fails even its own standards, which are lower than that of the academy:

A stronger reason is that even when Facebook manipulates our News Feeds to sell us things, it is supposed—legally and ethically—to meet certain minimal standards. Anything on Facebook that is actually an ad is labelled as such (even if not always clearly.) This study failed even that test, and for a particularly unappealing research goal: We wanted to see if we could make you feel bad without you noticing. We succeeded.

Did the U.S. government sponsor the research?

Cornell has now updated their June 10 story to say that the research received no external funding. Originally, Cornell had identified the Army Research Office, an agency within the U.S. Army that funds basic research in the military’s interest, as one of the funders of their experiment.

Do these kind of News Feed tweaks happen at other times?

At any one time, Facebook said last year, there were on average 1,500 pieces of content that could show up in your News Feed. The company uses an algorithm to determine what to display and what to hide.

It talks about this algorithm very rarely, but we know it’s very powerful. Last year, the company changed News Feed to surface more news stories. Websites like BuzzFeed and Upworthy proceeded to see record-busting numbers of visitors.

So we know it happens. Consider Fiske’s explanation of the research ethics here—the study was approved “on the grounds that Facebook apparently manipulates people's News Feeds all the time.” And consider also that from this study alone Facebook knows at least one knob to tweak to get users to post more words on Facebook.

* This post originally stated that an institutional review board, or IRB, was consulted before the experiment took place regarding certain aspects of data collection.

Adrienne LaFrance contributed writing and reporting.

Sweet Annabella Review by Maggie Sweet Annabella

Review by Maggie

Released Sep 17, '13 , Written Sep 9, '13

Sweet Annabella is the website of amateur cutie Annabella. She looks to be around 20 years old and she loves to tease guys and girls with "the cutest round bubble butt on the net." I see that her site is by Sextronix, so I'm expecting a fairly corporate experience from the petite hottie's site.

The Pros

  Sexy amateur collection.

Annabella is a cute, young thing who loves to play and tease. Her collection is all solo softcore, with the exception of one handjob scene. She comes across as a typical college coed who likes to be naughty and share her hot body without going full-on pornstar wild.

  Easy to navigate.

They've got plenty of helpful tools to help you get around the site. View the scenes by date, rating, most viewed, or name. Choose your thumbnail size, save your favorites. Check out the top categories or the top models. Getting around the site was no problem.

Other Good Stuff:

  • There are a few options for viewing these videos. Each scene can be played in your browser using Flash. For downloading, you're given two quality settings in Windows Media, along with mobile and H.264 mp4 options.
  • Photos can be downloaded in zip files.
  • Members of Sweet Annabella get access to the Solo Girls Network for more photos and videos of cute solo models.

The Cons

  Small site.

Sweet Annabella currently has just 29 galleries and 49 videos online. Galleries average just 90 photos and the videos are around 10 minutes each, so it won't take long to see everything.

  No interaction.

Although this reads like an amateur site, don't expect any interaction with Annabella. The site feels very corporate and I doubt she's involved here much at all.

  Average quality content.

Average is a pretty generous word to describe these scenes. The videos max out at 640 x 480. The photos aren't much larger and they were blurry at times. Quality is not a strength of this site.

Minor Negatives:

  • There are no scene descriptions. You'll find some basics, like the title, date added, and file sizes, but they don't say anything about what happens in the scene.
  • Membership is pricey, at $40 a month.
  • Content may be rotated. Although updates are coming often, the content counts aren't always increasing at the rate we'd expect, or at times even increasing at all.

Bottom Line

A cute little collection with no updates, average quality, and a very high price.

Sweet Annabella features a cute model but otherwise there wasn't much about the site to get excited about. It ultimately wraps up as a small collection of average quality material that doesn't appear to actually be growing. There's no way this small, inactive site with no personality is worth $40 a month. The bonus tools help a bit, but all in all I can't really get too excited about Sweet Annabella.

Asa Akira Review by Spencer Asa Akira

Review by Spencer

Released Mar 20, '11 , Written Mar 14, '11

Asa Akira is up for review today, and this is a solo site featuring a very sexy Japanese model named Asa. I don't know much about her since the bio on the tour is pretty damn weak. I can tell you that she likes both girls and guys, and fucks both on her site, in addition to the standard solo material. Her site is part of the Puba network of sites, and you get full access for free with your membership. Speaking of which, $25 a month gets you in to her member's area.

The Pros

  Network access included.

Since there isn't much to see on her site, I think the extra bonus access through the network could come in quite handy. You get around 13 other sites total, with quite a few other solo sites, and some more general hardcore sites as well. Anything helps here to make it more worth your money.

Other Good Stuff:

  • The content appears to be exclusive. It's pretty professional in nature, so they may share it with whoever shot it, but it doesn't seem to be generic content at least.
  • The quality is decent here. Everything is done in a pretty pro setup, so expect good lighting and good scene composition. HD is available if you don't mind streaming, though not for downloads. Pics look good, but could be larger still.

The Cons

  Pretty small site.

With around 20 scenes total, both in the photo and video sections, this is a very tiny member's area overall. I'm not sure why the site isn't larger, but there may be something there since she still appears to be shooting new content.

  Interaction could be better.

She does offer a blog, but it mostly relates to recent shoots. The forum offered is quite small. Live shows appear to come every month or two at best. She's trying, but could really boost her level of input in all of these areas to really bring some personality to the site.

  Updates aren't dated.

I have no idea what's going on with new content here. On the one hand, you have her blog, which shows us behind the scenes from recent shoots. On the other hand, you have no dated content, and a very small site. Either she adds new material, and rotates the old stuff off, or she's not adding anything new at all.

Minor Negatives:

  • While she does offer high definition videos for everything here, they are streaming-only, and can't be downloaded unfortunately.
  • The design of her site is pretty basic overall, and feels very generic and corporate. I'd love to see her with her own unique member's area to provide some more personality.
  • Also, her navigation is pretty basic as well. Even getting through the pages is a bit of a pain, as there's no links to jump ahead farther than one page at a time. Forget about any special search features.
  • The pictures look nice, but can be on the small side for the quality level.

Bottom Line

Hot girl with some hot scenes, but not nearly enough of anything here yet.

Asa Akira offers up a sexy body and some hot fucking scenes, and I like the content that she offers overall. However, the site and size are really pretty lackluster, and she needs to build things up quite a bit to really grab anyone's attention. The site is tiny, and I have no idea what's up with updates (her blog indicates she shoots new content, but the site doesn't really grow ever). Interaction is okay with the blog, but could be beefed up as well. I'd love to see HD video downloads instead of just streaming, and a more customized site for the solo site aspect would help give her site some personality. With some changes, it could be a lot of fun, but it's tough to get real excited at this point.

should i continue therapy?
Sep 7, 2009

I had my first session with the therapist on Friday. She is a LMSC not a Psychologist. I don't know if that should matter. She was very easy to talk to but I don't think she knows very much about HIV. She does seem to know about anxiety, though. She recommended two books: From Panic to Power and Joel Osteen's book. I happen to like him to. I mentioned your site to her and also talked about PCR testing but she didn't know what the test was. I was trying to explain the difference between anti-HIV antibody tests vs. PCR which picks up the genetic material of the virus, etc. I also explained to her that I am very terrified that I could infect someone ,etc. I will go back to her but could you give me some ideas as to how to move the dialogue forward in terms of assessing her knowledge of HIV while at the same time helping me believe that I don't have anything. Thank you, Dr. Bob, I wish you were here to tell me that I am ok. I know, I am selfish because that's what everybody would like, I am sure. Thank you so much for everything that you do and have done for me already. I think this country needs to know who you are and you need a national platform where you can explain to everybody about this disease and the different types of tests available and what they each look for, etc. May be being on Oprah or Larry King Live....

Be well and thank you for all your help once again.

Response from Dr. Frascino

The only way to assess your therapist's knowledge about HIV/AIDS is to directly ask her about it. However, it's important to point out that you are seeing a psychotherapist primarily to help you cope with your anxiety. She doesn't need extensive medical knowledge to help you overcome irrational fears or accept overwhelming and irrefutable evidence regarding your HIV serostatus.

As for Oprah or Larry, I'd prefer Oprah or maybe John Stewart or event Stephen Colbert!?!? I'll let you know if they call. In the meantime, good luck with your therapy sessions.

Dr. Bob

How are you and your partner dealing with upcoming swine flu?

Generations of Pride: What Does Pride Mean, Then and Now?

June 1, 2013

Fyodor Pavlov

Fyodor Pavlov; New York City

I'm actually such a huge introvert that for me, marching in the heat of summer was always sort of a terrifying prospect. I've been to a couple of Pride parades.

What moves me about them is not even the parade itself, but the notion of there being a place and a right for it to exist. Because I come from Russia, where there have been two attempts at a Pride parade, both of which were broken up by religious laymen and police, coming together to beat up the people attempting to march, and then arrest them.

So to me, what's significant about it is not so much my participation in it as the fact that there is the freedom, at least in this country, at least in this state, for it to happen. And that's what it means to me. Again, it's not the exercising of the right, but the fact that it exists, and that there is a place for people who wish to participate to go ahead and do so.

What does it mean, then and now? Well, according to the Huffington Post (no less)"Between 2008 and 2010 new (AIDS)infection rose 12 percent for gay men while falling or remaining stable in all other populations. Then our president goes on a tenth of a billion dollar trip to Africa to lecture them about how great the U.S. for now recognizing gay marriage (when he himself did NOT until about two days ago. He was politely rebuffed. Afterall, that continent had 1.3 of the 1.7 million AIDS deaths worldwide in 2011.

The first time was a great feeling for me and not all of it was great but I know everyone has a right to express themselves as they please. I am looking forward to this year and hope it is a memorable one. I hope everyone enjoys it and those who cause trouble stay away this year but I know that won't happen so I will just enjoy myself with my soon to be wife and family. Have fun everyone and be safe.

I didn't know who I was for 20 years, I hid who I was for another ten years. 30 years of not growing as a person because I was afraid. Marching down Santa Monica Blvd during Pride Parade was liberating. I am a person; I count.

I always viewed Pride as a March more than a parade. Yes we celebrate our freedom, but it is also a time for me to reflect on where we came from and how difficult a struggle it has been. I attended my first Pride In 1973 as a junior in high school. It was my first true exposure to how diverse a community we are. As a result I became more comfortable with who I was and realized I could be anything I wish to be. I thank our predecessors for having the courage to stand up and be counted so I could roller blade down 5th avenue in a chiffon dress if I wanted to. The freedom I have today is a direct result of those brave ones who came before me.It took a long time for me to be able to find my voice and carry on with what was started back at the Stonewall Inn. I fight for the same equal rights that those drags did in 1969. Without them I would probably still be forced to live in a closet with the doors shut so tight that I could barely breath. So I march or roller blade or what ever I want to do because I have more freedom because of their efforts. And work towards achieving EQUAL RIGHTS.

I have to say, I was pretty disappointed by this article. Only one women, of FIFTEEN people? Seriously? You couldn't find ANY other women to speak about their experiences? This is why people who identify as female feel alienated by pride events, and the LGBT community in general.

Amen! I was going to write the exact same thing. Honestly, there are just as many lesbians out there as gay men.
