Who is Joe Canada? The National Household Survey offered us a new portrait
Recalling the highlights, and lowlights, of this year's controversial data
"Joe Canada" is increasingly likely to be Jose, Youssef or Josipa Canada, with our nation now boasting the highest proportion of foreign-born citizens of the G8 countries: 20.6 per cent.
His – or her – daily commute takes 25.4 minutes, all from the comfort of a car – 74 per cent of us drive to work – to perform a job acquired on the steam of post-secondary credentials (nearly two-thirds of Canadians aged 25 to 64 have them). The reward for this full-time, year-round employment is a salary of $47,900, with males generally commanding 26 per cent more than females for the same amount of work.
Of course, much of that income is consumed by a mortgage: 59 per cent of homeowners pay one. But the new face of Canada is nonetheless grateful, and expresses as much in prayer – unlike the one quarter of citizens who profess no religion.
We know all this thanks to the National Household Survey, the results of which were released in three waves throughout 2013. Despite widespread criticism around its voluntary nature – the NHS replaced the mandatory long-form census in 2011 – the survey's 2.65 million responses still provide a striking snapshot of Canadian life, according to many experts.
"The devil is in the details but if you're a big-picture person, you can wipe the sweat off the brow," said Jack Jedwab, executive vice-president of the Canadian Institute for Identities and Migration (CIIM). "On both the national and provincial scale, I think (the NHS) caught the broader trends."
Across all three releases of data by the survey, diversity was clearly the main theme. And although this stretched beyond obvious cultural connotations, to include everything from diversity of religion to workforce demographics, immigration was certainly the biggest part.
May's release showed that in 2011, foreign-born citizens numbered 6.8 million, making up fully one in five Canadians – the highest proportion the nation had seen in 80 years. At the same time, second-generation Canadians – those born in Canada with at least one foreign-born parent – accounted for 17.4 per cent of the population.
Kevin McQuillan, a professor of sociology at the University of Calgary, said the findings will likely be a yardstick for immigration policy going forward.
"We need the best data we can get to understand how immigrants are adapting, and to assess whether the policies we have in place are the right ones – both for the country that's accepting people and for the newcomers who are arriving," said McQuillan, who specializes in demography.
Also notable was the rise of Canadians professing no religious affiliation: 23.9 per cent, versus 16.5 per cent a decade prior. In addition, the NHS reported a decline in the proportion of Christians, from 76.6 per cent to 67.3 per cent since 2001.
CIIM's Jedwab said the figures are "relevant to the types of debates we're having in Canada right now about the place of religion" in public life, as well as those around census criteria for which questions in future should be voluntary and which should be mandatory.
"We need to justify why some things are considered private while others are not," said Jedwab, pointing to religion for the former and language for the latter. "There needs to be a genuine national discussion about it, and we need to do it reasonably soon."
In June, the big news from the National Household Survey was gender shifts in education.
For the first time, a larger share of working-age females than males boasted post-secondary qualifications: 64.8 per cent vs 63.4 per cent. That gap widened further among young Canadians, with women accounting for nearly six in 10 adults aged 25 to 34 with a university degree.
Also noteworthy was the fact baby boomers were delaying retirement at a much higher rate. In 2011, 18.7 per cent of the working population was over 55, compared to 15.5 per cent in 2006 and just 11.7 per cent in 2001.
Transportation data revealed that more than nine in 10 people commuted to work, with 74 per cent using their own vehicles to do so. Public transit proved less popular, at 12 per cent, perhaps due to longer travel time: 40.4 minutes for bus riders, 44.6 minutes for subway users, and 52.5 minutes for light rail, streetcar or commuter train passengers, versus private vehicles' 23.7 minutes.
In September, the most contentious of the three NHS releases – on income and housing – was published. It showed the median household income for families of two or more to be $76,600 for 2010, while Canadians living alone saw a median income of $28,200.
Just 10 per cent of Canadians had incomes totalling more than $80,400 in 2010, while to be in the top five per cent, Canadians required earnings of $102,300. So-called "one percenters" saw incomes topping $191,100 – nearly seven times the national median.
But incomparability with historical data, lower response rates from smaller geographic areas, and stark differences with the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics and the T1 Family File mean critics regarded the NHS as wasteful, unhelpful and potentially dangerous to public policy.
"We actually ended up spending more for poorer quality data," said sociologist McQuillan, referring to the $22 million excess used for the NHS in 2011 over 2006, for a total census cost of $652 million. "It was like going to buy a new car, then deciding you wanted a used car instead but paying more for it."
Doug Norris, a leading census expert and chief demographer at Environics Analytics, argued that the data is far from useless. He noted that findings at the national, provincial and cross-sectional levels – particularly on gender, cultural diversity and education – were no less valuable than those retrieved from similar large-scale surveys widely used by scholars.
However, Norris did lament the loss of comparability over time, and noted that the problem will persist if methodology is again revised for 2016.
"Never before had anyone in the world done a voluntary survey like this," said Norris, who spent nearly 30 years at Statistics Canada. "Many commentators suggested what would happen – and, for the most part, they were right."
All of which will be important as we try to understand the "Joe Canada" of the future.

PENETANGUISHENE – A committee of the Penetanguishene "The Way We Were" group met Simcoe North MP Bruce Stanton at the Penetanguishene Museum on Jan. 22 to provide an update on the project.
From left to right are: Fred Patterson, Stanton and his executive assistant James Nicol, Moreland Lynn, Keith Day and Tom Lackey. The group intends to establish a year-round, interactive destination in Rotary Park.
The plan is for the project to feature a keystone building, a village square and, eventually, a micro brewery and retail and craft shops. The project would also tell the history of Penetanguishene from its aboriginal days right through its time as a logging centre and up to the 1940s.
It is hoped the initial development can be open by Canada Day in 2017.

Why Mitt Romney's Ideas on Tax Reform Could Hurt Homeowners
Mitt Romney might have lost the battle for the White House, but his proposal to cap itemized tax deductions is far from defeated.
As the nation's leaders turn their attention toward the fiscal cliff—a nasty, potentially recession-inducing combination of deep government spending cuts and steep tax increases—lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are likely to find the fallen GOP challenger's idea an attractive option to raise revenue while avoiding tax hikes.
But while a proposal to limit tax deductions might help politicians save face while shaving down the nation's ballooning deficit, it could have a serious consequences for homeowners. About a third of taxpayers itemize their deductions (the rest choose to take the standard deduction) and among those who itemize, about 35 percent of their total deductions are for mortgage interest (with another 14 percent for real estate taxes). For most homeowners, mortgage interest is the largest tax deduction they claim.
[RELATED: Need Cash? Turn Your House into an Ad]
How much would a cap on deductions impact the mortgage interest deduction itself? Assuming a $25,000 deduction, the effects are actually limited to a fairly small number of metropolitan areas. Naturally, neighborhoods with higher home values (and correspondingly higher mortgages and itemized deductions) are likely to see a larger number of homeowners affected by a cap on deductions. Similarly, areas with median household incomes exceeding $100,000 will likely feel the largest impact when it comes to mortgage interest deductions.
That said, it's not the just the wealthy that will feel the impact of a cap on tax deductions. Median household incomes in 38 percent of the top 50 most-affected ZIP codes are less than $75,000, and 22 percent have median household incomes of less than $50,000. However, these effects are almost entirely limited to the New York metropolitan area.
Overall, a $25,000 cap on itemized deductions would not have a broad impact on most homeowners with the bulk of the effect falling on higher-income households, which is part of the reason why the option is so attractive to lawmakers. The beauty of the cap on deductions from a politician's perspective is that they can both avoid raising taxes and singling out particular tax deductions for elimination. In contrast, the Simpson-Bowles deficit cutting commission proposed the specific elimination or reduction of most tax expenditures including the deductions for mortgage interest, charitable giving and employer-provided health care. Predictably, this raised the ire of the lobbies behind these deductions.
[ENJOY: The U.S. News Collection of Economy Cartoons]
By capping deductions across the board, a politician doesn't have to go after any specific deduction by name, instead allowing taxpayers to continue to claim any of them while limiting the total amount overall.
And there's big money at stake when it comes to capping deductions. With a $17,000 cap on deductions, The Tax Policy Center estimates an extra $1.7 trillion in additional revenue over the next 10 years, even after cutting marginal tax rates by 20 percent and eliminating the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). In this scenario, the use of a cap on deductions versus their outright elimination also spares more middle-class families from tax increases: About 83 percent of the additional revenue from a $17,000 cap on deductions in 2015 would come from the top 20 percent of taxpayers, with another 40 percent of the revenue from the top 1 percent.
Naturally, the higher the cap, the smaller the additional revenue gain. Assuming again a 20 percent cut in marginal tax rates and elimination of the AMT, the revenue gain is only about $1.3 trillion over 10 years with a $25,000 cap and about $760 billion with a $50,000 cap.
While capping tax deductions isn't directly related to housing policy, the downstream effect on homeowners is very real. And despite its chief proponent going down in flames at the polls, I suspect this is an idea that we'll be seeing again very soon.

I have been working at Biogen Idec full-time for more than a year
Pros – Generous salary, stock options and benefits. The company has also had a recent rollout of flex work options – employees can work from home up to 3 days per week if they want. The work itself is overall fulfilling; although I am on the operations side of the business, I do feel at the end of the day the work I am doing is benefiting someone's life and their health. I feel the senior management communicates well with employees and find our CEO and executive leadership to be humble and a 'all hands on deck' attitude. They truly seem to value each employee's contributions.
Cons – Workload can be a lot at times, however the company recognizes hard work and collaboration.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep up with the good work. I don't know how I will ever want to leave the company!
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Suns' Beasley labeled 'toxic' by anonymous source
Sunday's loss to the mediocre Orlando Magic at US Airways Center pushed their current losing streak to seven games -- their longest since February of 2004.
And now, this.
Shaun Powell, a writer for SportsonEarth.com who has more than 25 years experience covering the league, has put out the following tweet on Suns forward Michael Beasley.
Suns source: Michael Beasley is "toxic," team in tailspin, could lead to major shakeup.— Shaun Powell (@Powell2daPeople) December 10, 2012
Beasley, who had the label of 'enigma' when he signed with the Suns, has done little to shake it in his first 22 games in Phoenix. The fifth-year pro from Kansas State has been relegated to the bench after starting the first 20 games of the season. Counted on to be a consistent scoring threat, Beasley is averaging only 11.4 points and 3.8 rebounds per contest while shooting only 38% from the field -- all career lows.
We're not sure what 'major shakeup' means, especially in light of the fact that the Suns underwent just that in the offseason, adding nine new faces to the roster.

I'm Hugo Chesshire. I love politics, philosophy, and technology. I hold British and Canadian citizenship. I was born in Birmingham, England, and I grew up there, but I've made Canada my home since August, 2000.
I've worked in information technology, call centre training and development, in post-secondary education, and in academic research. I've worked in the UK, Canada, and the Philippines, I've studied in China, and I've been an exchange student in France and the Czech Republic. I love to read, travel, experience new places, and meet new people. I'm a very curious person, and there is so much to see and learn in the world. If it won't come to me, I'll seek it out. Recently, for instance, I've taught myself audio and video editing, and I'm working on vlogs and video reviews, just for fun. I'm also brushing up my French in my spare time. I'm gregarious and outgoing, and I'm proud to have friends on every continent.
I'm working as a research associate at the Niagara Workforce Planning Board. I do the research that drives labour market planning, and is useful to government, employers, workers, job-seekers and students. It's a chance to exercise my skills in research, analysis and critical thinking, and to do so in a useful way that benefits and strengthens my community. Among other things, I'm running the NWPB blog, where you can get down-to-earth labour market info, and I worked on publications such as our Destination: Apprenticeship brochure, and the October 2013 Labour Market Plan Update.
I try to live as a just and decent person. I take something from Plato in that I make an effort to examine life and circumstances rather than just accept them. This is not to say that laws or social trends are always wrong, but if they are just and right, they should be able to withstand questioning. I've been an advocate and activist for social justice, women's rights, workers' rights, and the ethical treatment of animals. I've served as a union steward and a student advocate, and I've marched in protests and picket lines.
I'm mainly concerned with wealth inequality and poverty, and the underlying problems which drive them; I agree with Gandhi's observation that poverty is the worst form of violence. Poverty makes all sorts of other oppression possible, and it's emotionally damaging when one lives in the midst of plenty, and when success and character are equated to wealth. I talk about these issues on my blog a lot. I contribute to fixing them in the little ways that I can. My father said to me that you don't have to have a job helping people in order to help people, and if you can make someone else smile, you've made the world a little bit better. Words to live by.
I did not go to university straight from school, but in 2008 I decided to get a degree as a mature student. I attended Brock University in Ontario, graduating in 2012 with first-class honours in both Political Science and Labour Studies. I came top of my class in both majors, and won over a dozen awards, scholarships, and academic prizes. I was also a student representative, and worked in the Political Science department recruiting and faculty affairs committees. I'm currently finishing my Master of Arts in Political Science at Brock, having accepted a large merit-based funding package from the university and a SSHRC, which is a prestigious federal research grant.
I'm a great writer. I won a lot of book prizes and awards at university for my academic papers, and I'm one of a very, very small number of undergraduates who have presented their research at major academic conferences, including that of the American Political Science Association, the most prestigious and rigorous in the field.
In my spare time, I'm a voracious reader. I particularly enjoy history and philosophy, which is not only great for my critical thinking skills, but sometimes helps me sound clever (or insufferable, depending on your perspective) at parties. I'm also very interested in computer history and platform studies. I got my first computer at age six, and since then I've owned IBM compatibles, Commodore Amigas, and Macs, using DOS, all flavours of Windows, Linux, MacOS, and even a few niche operating systems I have played around with (like QNX, or BeOS – fascinating little pieces of software). I've never had a gaming console, though. I don't have anything against them or people who own them – they're great entertainment, but for me a computer also has to be a creative tool. I used to repair computers for a living, and I still keep those skills active, building my own custom water-cooled computers and keeping them running, as well as the computers of friends and family. Tinkering and building is part of my nature – I always want to know what makes something work, and not just how to use it.
I currently live in the Niagara region of Ontario with my wife and our three cats.

"Cosmic Collisions"
Tuesday Oct 29
From subatomic particles to the largest galaxies, cosmic collisions are a universal force of nature. Creative and destructive, dynamic and dazzling, collisions have resulted in many things we take for granted — the glowing Moon, the Sun's warmth and light, our changing seasons, waves washing up on a sandy shore. They've ended the age of the dinosaurs and changed the very map of the cosmos, reforming galaxies and giving birth to new stars and new worlds. Cosmic Collisions, provides an unprecedented and extraordinary view of these catastrophic and constructive events that have shaped our world and our universe.
Narrated by Robert Redford, Cosmic Collisions was developed by the American Museum of Natural History with the major support and partnership of National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Science Mission Directorate, Heliophysics Division.

AUSTIN -- Levels in creeks across Central Texas are rising following Monday's rain storm.
According to the Lower Colorado River Authority, most creeks registered more than an inch of rain. The agency's Hydromet reports that over the past 24 hours Bull Creek at Loop 360 in Austin went up 1.36 inches.
Barton Creek in Oak Hill went up 1.73 inches and Big Sandy Creek near Jonestown rose 2.14 inches.
The Highland Lakes remain at low levels despite the rain. The LCRA reports the combined total at Lakes Travis and Buchanan is 36 percent.
"We hope it keeps raining. Everybody knows it's gotta be longer and heavier than it is to really make a significant impact," said Hawkeye Roth of Just for Fun water rentals.
Meteorologists predict more rain for Central Texas over the week.

Janus is a platform designed to deal with the implementation and deployment of holonic and multi-agent systems. It is based on the CRIO organizational metamodel. The concepts of role and organization are supported as first-class entities. Janus provides a comprehensive set of features for developing, running, displaying, and monitoring multi-agent-based applications. The platform also natively manages the concept of recursive agents (holon or agents composed of agents). It can also run threaded and non-threaded agents without using the organizational and holonic API. It provides features equivalent to those of TinyMAS or MadKit.
Emaigos imports Google contacts and calendars into Emacs. Contacts are stored in a Big Brother Database (BBDB) file, which makes them usable with many Emacs email packages, like Gnus. Google calendars are stored as a single Org-mode file, so events may be viewed as a structured document and possibly shown within an Agenda view. With Emaigos, it's possible to use Google as a contacts and calendars manager, while having all the same data available within Emacs. The original Google contacts and calendars are not modified in any way by Emaigos. The name "Emaigos" is an acronym for "EMAcs Importer for GOogle Stuff".
Peg Solitaire is a board game played with pegs: in the classic mode, the board has 33 positions and 32 tokens because the center position is without form. The objective of Peg Solitaire is to remove the pegs but only with horizontal and vertical movements. It is also known as English peg solitaire or Senku. In the reverse modes, initially there is only one piece on the board.
PyParticles is a particle simulation toolbox entirely written in Python. It simulates a particle-by-particle model with the most popular integrations methods, including Euler, Runge Kutta, and Midpoint. It represents the results on an OpenGL or Matplotlib plot, and offers an easy-to-use API.
schwinn810 allows you to extract data (tracks, laps, points, and waypoints) from a Schwinn 810 GPS sport watch with a heart rate monitor. It can optionally feed points to gpsbabel to convert data into other formats like TCX, GPX, and KML. A standalone converter for TCX with split-lap and heart rate data is provided.

Kieran Burke made 23 saves for No. 4 North Carolina, lifting the Tar Heels to a 10-7 win over the No. 18 Virginia Cavaliers Saturday. UVa has now lost five games in a row for the first time since 1966.
After UNC jumped out to a 4-0 lead, Nick O'Reilly took charge and scored back-to-back unassisted goals to start a UVa run. Mark Cockerton scored his first of three goals on the afternoon to finish the streak with 11 seconds left in the first period.
North Carolina scored to make it 5-3 in the second, then Virginia answered back on a man-up goal by Ryan Tucker at 1:43. The Tar Heels tacked on one more before the break, taking a 6-4 lead at halftime.
UNC scored two goals to start the third quarter, creating a four-goal deficit for Virginia as the Cavaliers trailed 8-4 with 4:38 remaining in the third quarter.
Rob Emery registered an extra-man goal with 3:13 left in the third quarter, but neither team allowed another goal until Cockerton scored at the 4:56 mark in the fourth quarter, a span of 13:17 without any scoring.
The Tar Heels were able to ice the game with two goals, the second coming with 45 seconds left in the game. Cockerton scored on a James Pannell helper with 30 seconds left to bring the game to the final 10-7 score and secure the junior's ninth career hat trick.

NORTH SIMCOE – The Huronia Woodland Owners' Association plans to provide 2,500 sugar maple saplings to local landowners at a reduced cost this spring.
Concerned about the loss of large sugar maples along roads, lanes and fencerows, the association has distributed nearly 12,000 saplings for planting since 2007. The initiative is supported by organizations such as Maple Leaves Forever, North Simcoe Stewardship, the County of Simcoe and Oro-Medonte Township.
The $10 cost per sapling is about a third of what one would pay at a retail outlet. The cost drops to $8 apiece for line plantings along roads and laneways.
Trees must be ordered before March 1 by calling Bruce or Ingrid Keeling at 705-487-3970. Landowners are encouraged to place their order early, as the supply of saplings ran out last year.
The trees will be available for pickup around the last weekend of April or first weekend of May. Instructions and a planting demonstration will be given by members of the Huronia Woodland Owners' Association at that time.

In the Garden Trilogy
Nora Roberts - Author
Read the excerpt now!
Against the backdrop of a house steeped in history and a thriving new gardening business, three women unearth the memories of the past and uncover a dangerous secretfinding in each other the courage to take chances and embrace the future.
Stella has a passion for planning that keeps her from taking too many risks.But when she opens her heart to a new love, she discovers that she will fight to the death to protect what's hers.
Trying to escape the ghosts of the past, young widow Stella Rothchild, along with her two energetic little boys, has moved back to her roots in southern Tennesseeand into her new life at Harper House and In the Garden nursery. She isn't intimidated by the housenor its mistress, local legend Roz Harper. Despite a reputation for being difficult, Roz has been nothing but kind to Stella, offering her a comfortable new place to live and a challenging new job as manager of the flourishing nursery. As Stella settles comfortably into her new life, she finds a nurturing friendship with Roz and with expectant mother Hayley. And she discovers a fierce attraction with ruggedly handsome landscaper Logan Kitridge
But someone isn't happy about the budding romance…the Harper Bride. As the women dig into the history of Harper House, they discover that grief and rage have kept the Bride's spirit alive long past her death. And now, she will do anything to destroy the passion that Logan and Stella share...
Harper HouseJanuary 2004
She couldn't afford to be intimidated by the house, or by its mistress. They both had reputations.
The house was said to be elegant and old, with gardens that rivaled Eden. She'd just confirmed that for herself.
The woman was said to be interesting, somewhat solitary, and perhaps a bit "difficult." A word, Stella knew, that could mean anything from strong-willed to stone bitch.
Either way, she could handle it, she reminded herself as she fought the need to get up and pace. She'd handled worse.
She needed this job. Not just for the salary––and it was generous––but for the structure, for the challenge, for the doing. Doing more, she knew, than circling the wheel she'd fallen into back home.
She needed a life, something more than clocking time, drawing a paycheck that would be soaked up by bills. She needed, however self-help-book it sounded, something that fulfilled and challenged her.
Rosalind Harper was fulfilled, Stella was sure. A beautiful ancestral home, a thriving business. What was it like, she wondered, to wake up every morning knowing exactly where you belonged and where you were going?
If she could earn one thing for herself, and give that gift to her children, it would be the sense of knowing. She was afraid she'd lost any clear sight of that with Kevin's death. The sense of doing, no problem. Give her a task or a challenge and the room to accomplish or solve it, she was your girl.
But the sense of knowing who she was, in the heart of herself, had been mangled that day in September of 2001 and had never fully healed.
This was her start, this move back to Tennessee. This final and face-to-face interview with Rosalind Harper. If she didn't get the job––well, she'd get another. No one could accuse her of not knowing how to work or how to provide a living for herself and her kids.
But, God, she wanted this job.
She straightened her shoulders and tried to ignore all the whispers of doubt muttering inside her head. She'd get this one.
She'd dressed carefully for this meeting. Businesslike but not fussy, in a navy suit and starched white blouse. Good shoes, good bag, she thought. Simple jewelry. Nothing flashy. Subtle makeup, to bring out the blue of her eyes. She'd fought her hair into a clip at the nape of her neck. If she was lucky, the curling mass of it wouldn't spring out until the interview was over.
Rosalind was keeping her waiting. It was probably a mind game, Stella decided as her fingers twisted, untwisted her watchband. Letting her sit and stew in the gorgeous parlor, letting her take in the lovely antiques and paintings, the sumptuous view from the front windows.
All in that dreamy and gracious southern style that reminded her she was a Yankee fish out of water.
Things moved slower down here, she reminded herself. She would have to remember that this was a different pace from the one she was used to, and a different culture.
The fireplace was probably an Adams, she decided. That lamp was certainly an original Tiffany. Would they call those drapes portieres down here, or was that too Scarlett O'Hara? Were the lace panels under the drapes heirlooms?
God, had she ever been more out of her element? What was a middle-class widow from Michigan doing in all this southern splendor?
She steadied herself, fixed a neutral expression on her face, when she heard footsteps coming down the hall.
"Brought coffee." It wasn't Rosalind, but the cheerful man who'd answered the door and escorted Stella to the parlor.
He was about thirty, she judged, average height, very slim. He wore his glossy brown hair waved around a movie-poster face set off by sparkling blue eyes. Though he wore black, Stella found nothing butlerlike about it. Much too artsy, too stylish. He'd said his name was David.
He set the tray with its china pot and cups, the little linen napkins, the sugar and cream, and the tiny vase with its clutch of violets on the coffee table.
"Roz got a bit hung up, but she'll be right along, so you just relax and enjoy your coffee. You comfortable in here?"
"Yes, very."
"Anything else I can get you while you're waiting on her?"
"No. Thanks."
"You just settle on in, then," he ordered, and poured coffee into a cup. "Nothing like a fire in January, is there? Makes you forget that a few months ago it was hot enough to melt the skin off your bones. What do you take in your coffee, honey?"
She wasn't used to being called "honey" by strange men who served her coffee in magnificent parlors.

Kristina Wong's CAT LADY Opens Mad Cat Theatre's 13th Season, 1/3
How do you get a cat to stop spraying while simultaneously using theater to end existential loneliness AND racism? This frequently asked question is tackled by Kristina Wong in her devastatingly hilarious play Cat Lady which will open Mad Cat Theatre Company's 13th season. Cat Lady explores the parallel worlds of two polar opposite archetypes living at the margins of the dating world - musty cat ladies and the fast-talking male pick-up artists who hunt among them.
Wong, a multi-talented performance artist whose diverse body of work ranges from stand-up comedy to commentary on American Public Media's "Marketplace" to film documentary and articles in Playgirl magazine, has been called "sassy" and "original" (LA Times), "raucous and irreverent" (AP) and an "Asian American Lily Tomlin" (American Theatre Magazine). Cat Lady is her fifth full-length show, and her first full-length ensemble piece.
A theme uniting Wong's various performances is her offbeat curiosity and social conscience. Whether it's exploring the high incidence of depression and suicide among Asian American women (Wong Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) or the contradictions of the bio-fuel movement (Going Green the Wong Way), Wong consistently displays a subversive intelligence and a knack for interpreting the strangeness of our times. Cat Lady, which will be directed this time around by Paul Tei, is no exception.
Wong's cat, Oliver, and his rash spraying problems was the inspiration of Cat Lady, which premiered as a work-in-progress at the REDCAT NOW Festival in Los Angeles followed by runs in Houston at Diverseworks and at the ODC Theater in San Francisco. In Cat Lady, Wong delves into the psychology behind hoarding - of both animals and humans. Unmarried women who live alone with cats ("cat ladies") and aggressive pick-up artists commingle in Wong's pop culture universe which manages simultaneously to draw on VH1 and Martha Graham.
In addition to featuring Wong, Mad Cat company member Ken Clement will be playing Oliver the Cat, along with the pick-up artists who wish to remain anonymous... for now. So stay tuned.
With Designs by: Matt Corey* (Sound), Melissa Santiago Keenan (Lights), Leslye Menshouse (Costumes) and the scenic team of Paul Tei* & Joe Kimble*.
* Mad Cat Company Member.
Tickets are on sale now! Preview Night January 3rd - $15, Opening Night January 4th - $45 (with food & drink); thereafter General Admission Tickets $30 and Student $15 (with valid ID).

Cat Lady was created with the support of the MAPFUND, Center for Cultural Innovation Artistic Innovation Award, National Performance Network Creation Fund, Center for Cultural Innovation Artist Resource to Completion Grant, the MacDowell Colony, the Atlantic Center for the Arts and the Hermitage Retreat for Artists, and the UCLA Hothouse Residency for Artists.
Cat Lady was co-commissioned by DiverseWorks with ODC Theater, in association with Circuit Network and the National Performance Network and was supported by the National Performance Creation Fund and Residency Program and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Kristina Wong (Playwright): Kristina Wong is an internationally presented solo performer, writer and cultural commentator named "One of the Seven Funniest Eco-Comedians" by Mother Nature Network. Her most notable touring show-- "Wong Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" looked at the high rates of depression and suicide among Asian American women and toured to over 40 venues since 2006. It's now a broadcast quality DVD that has been acquired by university libraries nationwide and is also available for home use at Amazon.com (www.flyingwong.com <http://www.flyingwong.com> ). "Going Green the Wong Way" which had its world premiere with Mad Cat in 2010, has toured extensively in the U.S. and now internationally in Scotland as a part of the Edinburgh Fridge Festival in 2012. She's been a commentator for American Public Media's Marketplace, PBS, Jezebel and Playgirl Magazine. Her work has been awarded with grants from Creative Capital, The Map Fund, Center for Cultural Innovation, the Durfee Foundation, National Performance Network, four grants from the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, and a residency from the MacDowell Colony. www.kristinawong.com

I worked at Alkermes
Pros – Interesting pipeline and technology. Employees are generally friendly and collaborative. Casual work environment.
Cons – Top-down communication is poor. You're either liked and promoted or dis-liked and included in the yearly layoff. Little spent on professional growth and training.
Advice to Senior Management – Increase communication and exchange of information at all levels.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

The Wrap reports that Bobin will be directing period musical "Tribyville," a script that is in the process of being acquired by Disney from Will Ferrell and Adam Mckay's Gary Sanchez Productions. While the last thing we'd all expect to hear is a possible Gary Sanchez/Disney co-production, considering their previous credits include Ferrell's many comedies and raunchy fare like "Bachelorette," "The Campaign," and "The Virginity Hit," details about "Tribyville" have been kept under wraps.
It's another addition to a busy slate for Bobin. He starts production very soon on "The Muppets" sequel, and over the summer he signed on for the live-action espionage story "Agent Zigzag" for New Line and Playtone Pictures. "Agent Zigzag" is a film that has been in development for quite some time, so who knows if it has gained any traction since then. Either way, Bobin has a healthy number of projects to choose from once he wraps up his time with Kermit.
No release date yet for "The Muppets 2," but we'd imagine another holiday season release will be in the cards.

Parent Directory | Revision Log
|Links to HEAD:
|(view) (annotate)
|Sticky Tag:
Merge changes from cross-sol-x86-2010-12-20 which adds support for Solaris/x86. There should be no functional changes for either other x86 ports or for the sparc port.
First cut at a build for Solaris/x86. Result doesn't work; it gets as far as TYPE-INIT, but then crashes. These changes still allow solaris/sparc and darwin/x86 to build, so we haven't broken both sparc and x86 while doing this. tools/cross-scripts/cross-x86-osx-solaris.lisp: o New cross-compile script to use darwin/x86 to cross-compile to solaris/x86. compiler/x86/parms.lisp: o For now, put thel linkage space start at 0xc0000000 on Solaris/x86. lisp/Config.sparc_common: o Separate out the common parts between Solaris sparc and x86. Move the different parts into the appropriate file. lisp/Config.sparc_sunc: o Add ASSEM_SRC and ARCH_SRC here, with the appropriate OS_SRC, OS_LINK_FLAGS, and OS_LIBS> lisp/Config.x86_solaris_sunc: o New file for building solaris/x86 using Sun C (aka Sun Studio aka Solaris Studio) lisp/interrupt.c: o Use a static array for the altstack. Should eventually do what other x86 platforms do. lisp/solaris-os.c: o Don't need os_flush_icache on x86 (?), so make the body empty for x86. o Add x86 version of os_sigcontext_reg and os_sigcontext_pc. lisp/sunos-os.h: o The pagesize is 4096 on x86 instead of 8192. o Don't need (?) SAVE_CONTEXT. lisp/x86-assem.S: o Update to support Sun C assembler: - Add appropriate GNAME, FUNCDEF and ENDFUNC macros. - Sun assembler doesn't have int3 instruction, so add INT3 macro to do the appropriate things. - Sun assembler doesn't like control L characters in the file so remove them. lisp/x86-validate.h: o Add entry for Solaris. This needs work, but it looks like these values will work.
Remove limits.h include from sunos-os.h into gencgc.c. This include is required by all systems.
Oops. It should be limits.h.
Include iso/limits_iso.h to get UINT_MAX.
Fix typos, portability stuff (e.g. get rid of __FUNCTION__ which SunOS doesn't have.)
Remove old-style signals code and make our POSIX_SIGS behavior the default.
Merge code from main branch of 2005-12-17 to ppc gencgc branch. Still doesn't work of course.
Indent all source files using GNU indent using the config in .indent.pro.
Replace all uses of the old b{copy,zero} byte string functions with the equivalent standard C mem{cpy,move,set} functions.
Add #ifndef _FOO_H_ etc. lines to all .h files. Moved a few lines in lisp.c into the correct <foo>-os.h files.
Clean up some compiler warnings: * gencgc.h: Add declaration for alloc. * solaris-os.c: o Include interrupt.h o Clean up some printf warnings, apply appropriate casts for converting address to longs and vice versa. * sparc-arch.c: o Include gencgc.h, breakpoint.h, interr.h to declare some functions for us. o Instructions are ints, not longs. (64-bitness cleanup.) o handle_breakpoint and handle_function_end_breakpoint were not called with the right second arg. * sunos-os.h: o Declare flush_icache and save_context.
Fred Gilham's Lisp executable support for CMUCL.
Add control-stack checking for Sparc. Based on work from SBCL. * lisp/sunos-os.h (PROTECTION_VIOLATION_SIGNAL): Define it for stack-checking. * lisp/solaris-os.c (segv_handler): Add stack-checking support for Solaris. * lisp/os.h (os_control_stack_overflow): Give a type name to the zone enums (mostly for the debugger). * lisp/os-common.c (guard_zones): Add stack-checking support for Solaris. (os_control_stack_overflow): Add stack-checking support for Solaris. * lisp/interrupt.c (build_fake_control_stack_frame): New function for building a stack frame without the foreign call stuff. Used for stack checking. (interrupt_install_low_level_handler): Only need to install alternate signal stack for x86. * lispinit.lisp: (scrub-control-stack): Rename to %scrub-control-stack to match x86 version so control stack guard is done. * parms.lisp (static-symbols): Added new static symbols for control stack checking.
Add RCS header.

Using a Vyatta Appliance, you can establish a secure site-to-site VPN connection connection between your cloud infrastructure at any Rackspace site and your data center or existing IT infrastructure location.
This site-to-site VPN connection enables you to extend your IT infrastructure to the Rackspace Cloud and "burst" extra compute requirements into the Rackspace Cloud.
Vyatta supports both policy-based and route-based VPNs. In this article we show you how to configure a policy-based VPN on the Vyatta.
For a comprehensive guide to VPN configuration on the Vyatta, click here
For guidance on configuring the relevant firewall rules to allow VPN traffic on the Vyatta please refer to the following article:
There are three main components of the Internet Protocol security (IPsec) architecture:
Of these protocols, the Vyatta Appliance currently supports ESP, which encrypts the packet payload and prevents it from being monitored; and IKE, which provides a secure method of exchanging cryptographic keys and negotiating authentication and encryption methods.
The following diagram shows a site-to-site VPN connection between two sites. For simplicity ,we show the configuration of Site-to-site VPN between two Rackspace sites (both using Vyatta).
To successfully implement an IPsec VPN site-to-site connection, you must complete the following configurations on both IPsec endpoints:
In addition , if NAT is configured for outbound internet Access, we will make sure to exclude the site-to-site VPN connection from NAT.
This article describes how to configure a site-to-site VPN using two Vyatta Appliances.
You can configure a site-to-site VPN for any of the following Cloud datacenters: (DFW - Dallas), (ORD - Chicago), (IAD - Virginia), (HKG - Hong Kong), and (SYD - Sydney). For the purpose of this example, we'll assume one appliance is located in the DFW datacenter and the other is the ORD datacenter.
To complete this configuration, you'll perform the following steps:
Note: eth0 is the Public interface enabled for IPsec
ssh email@example.com
Where 64.x.x.101 is the IP address of the Vyatta appliance. You'll see a Welcome to Vyatta message and a prompt to enter your password.
Once you're logged into the appliance, you can enter a ? or press the Tab key for help.
vyatta@vyatta: configure
The # symbol indicates you're in configuration mode.
set vpn ipsec ipsec-interfaces interface eth0
vyatta@vyatta# show vpn ipsec ipsec-interfaces
interface eth0
Note: Do not issue the commit command yet!
The IKE group allows you to pre-define a set of one or more proposals to be used in IKE Phase 1 negotiation, after which the ISAKMP security association (SA) can be set up. For each proposal in the group, the following information is defined:
In this example we create IKE group IKE-1W on Vyatta-DFW. This IKE group contains two proposals:
The lifetime of a proposal from this IKE group is set to 3600 seconds.
set vpn ipsec ike‐group IKE‐1W proposal 1
set vpn ipsec ike‐group IKE‐1W proposal 1 encryption aes256
set vpn ipsec ike‐group IKE‐1W proposal 1 hash sha1
set vpn ipsec ike‐group IKE‐1W lifetime 3600
show vpn ipsec ike‐group IKE‐1W
lifetime 3600 proposal 1 encryption aes256 hash sha1 } proposal 2 encryption aes128 hash sha1 }
Note: Do not issue the commit command yet!
In this example we create an ESP group ESP-1W on Vyatta-DFW. This ESP group contains two proposals:
The lifetime of a proposal from this ESP group is set to 1800 seconds.
set vpn ipsec esp‐group ESP‐1W proposal 1
set vpn ipsec esp‐group ESP‐1W proposal 1 encryption aes256
set vpn ipsec esp‐group ESP‐1W proposal 1 hash sha1
set vpn ipsec esp‐group ESP‐1W lifetime 1800
show vpn ipsec esp‐group ESP‐1W
lifetime 1800{ proposal 1 encryption aes256 hash sha1 } proposal 2 { encryption 3des hash sha1 }
Note: Do not issue the commit command yet!
Complete the following steps:
edit vpn ipsec site‐to‐site peer 198.x.x.101
set authentication mode pre‐shared‐secret
set authentication pre‐shared‐secret SECRET
set default‐esp‐group ESP‐1W
set ike‐group IKE‐1W
set local-address 64.x.x.101
set tunnel 1 local prefix 192.168.1.0/24
set tunnel 1 remote prefix 192.168.3.0/24
To complete this configuration, repeat the same steps on the Vyatta Appliance in the ORD datacenter, using the correct IP addressing, ESP, and IKE. This configuration includes the following steps:
Use the previous sections to complete the configuration on Vyatta-ORD, then return to Step 6 below.
With both Vyatta Appliances configured, you can verify the tunnel status.
Verify tunnel is up:
vyatta@vyatta:~$ show vpn ipsec sa
Peer ID / IP Local ID / IP
------------ -------------
198.x.x.101 64.x.x.101
Tunnel State Bytes Out/In Encrypt Hash NAT-T A-Time L-Time Proto ------ ----- ------------- ------- ---- ----- ------ ------ ----- 1 up 0.0/0.0 aes256 sha1 no 906 1800 all
Verify the tunnel status:
vyatta@vyatta:~$ show vpn ipsec status IPSec Process Running PID: 13088 1 Active IPsec Tunnels IPsec Interfaces : eth0 (64.x.x.101)
This configuration will be needed if you are using Vyatta to perform outbound NAT for internet access as shown here
In case Source NAT has been configured already or needs to be configured, the following configuration needs to be applied so that the VPN traffic doesn't get translated on the Vyatta.
The below configuration assumes Source NAT rule 10 was configured already. Rule 10 translates all traffic going out eth0 to use the IP address of the Public interface on the Vyatta as the Source IP for traffic sourced from 192.168.1.0/24. Since this NAT rule would break traffic that needs to go across the VPN , we need to add Rule 5 (since NAT rules are read sequentially) so that this traffic is excluded from NAT. (See "exclude" keyword" below). Here 192.168.3.0/24 is the remote prefix and 192.168.1.0/24 is the local prefix.
set nat source rule 5 destination address '192.168.3.0/24' set nat source rule 5 'exclude' set nat source rule 5 outbound-interface 'eth0' set nat source rule 5 source address '192.168.1.0/24' set nat source rule 5 translation address 'masquerade'
Original NAT rule 10 for Outbound/Internet traffic:
set nat source rule 10 outbound-interface 'eth0' set nat source rule 10 source address '192.168.1.0/24' set nat source rule 10 translation address 'masquerade' commit
