2014 is the year we turned a historically significant corner. The self-driving car is officially in the works now; it is no longer speculative fiction.
In a very real way, self-driving cars are already here.
Several current model year vehicles can park themselves, for instance. As I type this, there is a new Lexus GS350 in my driveway. It self-parks. Push a button and the car will line itself up, adjust steering angle – and slot itself into a spot. The only action required by the "driver" (that's you) is to gently depress the accelerator pedal when the car tells you to. Everything else is automated.
About a month ago, I got a new Acura MDX to test out. It came equipped with semi-autonomous steering (in addition to autonomous parking). Push a button and the car's computer brain – in conjunction with electronic eyes that can scan the painted lines on the road – keeps the car on track. You can feel the steering wheel making course corrections without any input from you.
The system is not yet foolproof. If the painted lines are faded – or the curves in the road too severe – the MDX loses track of where it's headed and will beep urgently to let you know. So that you can take over.
For the moment, a driver is still needed.
But it's clear that moment will be brief.
Self-driving technology is elaborating itself at a literally exponential rate. Five or so years ago, there were no cars that could self-park (or self-steer)."Active" cruise control – the car automatically adjusts its following distance in relation to the ebb and flow of traffic, increasing/decreasing speed without you having to do anything – was cutting edge and found almost exclusively in a very few very high-end cars. There were none that could sense an object in the car's path and apply the brakes full-force and automatically bring the car to a complete stop, if need be, without the "driver" even touching the brake pedal.
Such systems are almost de facto standard equipment (like leather seats and climate control AC) today in higher-end cars – and they are becoming common in cars priced in the $30k-ish range. Just as climate control AC and leather seats are now almost-expected amenities in cars costing around $25k, so it will be that within a few years at the latest, virtually every car that's not an entry-level economy type of car will come equipped with at least some degree of driver-less "assistance."
Probably, even entry-level cars will soon boast such technology – as a result of the same market forces that have made AC and power windows and cruise control and iPod hook-ups included in the standard equipment package of probably 95 percent of 2014 model year vehicles. I cannot remember the last time I got a new car to test drive that didn't come standard with all of those things.
Just so, these electronic assists will filter, as by osmosis, from top to bottom.
Because it is now technically – and economically – feasible. And because – in the main – people want these things. They want to be relieved of the chore of driving.
It's not like it is depicted in the commercials. The open road, a sunny day. You and your car, having a ball.
No traffic, no hassles.
The reality – for most people – is slogging along in relentless, endless bumper-to-bumper traffic. Staring at the tailgate of the minivan ahead with its stick figure family and yellow and pink ribbons.
What the car company PR people like to call "infotainment" – the LCD touchscreen displays with Internet connectivity, Bluetooth, all that stuff – is there precisely because the act of driving has been rendered largely futile.
Or criminal. (See here, for instance, to learn all about usurious traffic fines and "reckless driving" busts.)

Laura Chick Tolerates A Room Full Of Journalists For An Entire Evening
FBLA made it to the SPJ mixer last night in the back room of the Redwood Bar and Grill downtown. Laura Chick was the featured speaker, and had a friendly, informal chat with a room packed full of sweaty journalists. She offered her insights on accountability and transparency in city hall, the responsibility of journalists to keep local politicians on their toes, her audits of the city's anti-gang programs and the LAPD's rape kit testing program, the future of the Los Angeles City Controllers office, and her decision to leave public office after 16 years of service. After she finished speaking, Chick was swamped by journalists eager to continue the dialogue. While graciously pushing her way to the door, she was kind enough to pose for a picture with a geeky FBLA editor-

Denver comedian in round two of America's Got Talent
By Josiah M. Hesse
The story concerns the relationship between a middle-aged beauty, Mrs. Warren, and her twenty-year-old daughter. Miss Vivie Warren has just completed a distinguished Cambridge education in mathematics, and she's got a handshake so strong that it disconcerts the men who try it. This is a woman of character, we are repeatedly reminded--a young woman who knows her own mind and has the will to use it.
As the play opens, Vivie's mysterious mother shows up for a visit with her vulgar business partner, Sir George Crofts, and we learn that Vivie has been raised by paid employees of Mrs. Warren. Though not bitter, Vivie hasn't much affection to offer anyone--particularly her mother. A handsome ne'er-do-well preacher's son who lives nearby courts her, and she amiably encourages him. A friend of her mother's, an art lover named Mr. Praed, tries to involve Vivie in the arts, but all she wants is to work all day and then relax with a glass of whiskey and a cigar at night.
The wealthy Mother Warren, though, has other plans for her brainy daughter. She wants Vivie to live a glamorous life, marry well, spend plenty of the money she's acquired, and then take care of Mama in her old age.
One of the great things Shaw does with this play is give each woman a chance to understand the other. And Vivie does understand; she is a principled, intelligent woman, but she is not a hypocrite. She pities her mother--until she finds out that Mrs. Warren has never given up her executive position, which as it turns out is as a madam in several of the classiest little whorehouses in Europe.
Like so many mothers, Mrs. Warren presumes the rights of a mother over an obedient child. But aside from paying for the education that has made Vivie so independent, she has done nothing at all to deserve those rights. Vivie is her own person, not her mother's possession, and though she does appreciate her mother's achievement as a businesswoman, she knows her wealth is built on the exploitation of unfortunate women.
But the play isn't really about prostitution at all; it's about the excesses of capitalism and the deliberate repression of the poor that leads poor girls into the profession. Shaw was a socialist of sorts, and he engaged the hard realities of unenlightened capitalism whenever he got the chance, both as a playwright and as a critic. He was also a defender of women's rights, and taking on prostitution gave him the chance to fly in the face of contemporary morality, which in the Europe of his day, protected men and exposed women to degradation. In fact, this play introduces us to the themes of his greatest plays, from Pygmalion to Major Barbara.
If Shaw errs in this play, it is in his annoying blindness about the actual demeaning nature of prostitution. But then, he couldn't do everything. He lets Vivie reject it, and that's a lot.
Chet Martin and Tom Pavey are nicely balanced as Reverend Gardner and son, building a smart antagonism that echoes that between Mrs. Warren and daughter. Alan Dumas makes the icky Sir George about as creepy a high-class sleazebag as anyone could wish. Frank Georgianna gives another supremely natural performance as good Mr. Praed, lending an authentic nineteenth-century grace to the whole production.
The women, meanwhile, are terrific. Maurie Taylor gives a lively, intelligent reading of Vivie's character, projecting fierce substance and integrity. She needs to just to occupy the same space with the beautiful, powerful Susan d'Autremont as Mrs. Warren. This is d'Autremont's finest hour--at just the right moments, her Mrs. Warren is elegant, corrupt, needy and chillingly honest. We completely feel her helplessness when Vivie rejects the wealth she has so painfully acquired.
Shaw has said it all: Economics can enslave, but money isn't everything. His morality may appear to be situational in this play, but, as with most of his plays, he's trying to underscore a larger morality by showing an outrageous disregard for convention. Later, in Major Barbara, that morality crystallized into a brilliant, if crackpot, vision of social and economic justice--a vision ably foreshadowed by Mrs. Warren's Profession.--Mason

'About Last Night' Trailer: Sex, Lies, and David MametMovie News By Adam Bellotto on September 23, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
2014 is shaping up to be the Year of Kevin Hart. The actor's steady rise to fame has landed him major roles in four films next year – Grudge Match, Ride Along, About Last Night, and Think Like a Man Too. Now all he needs to do is lay low after 2014, pop back up twelve years later for another Year of Kevin Hart, and he might finally become part of the Chinese zodiac. But twelve years is a long time to wait, so entertain yourselves with the newest trailer for About Last Night:

Review: 'Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay' Is Deceptively EntertainingMovie Reviews By Rob Hunter on April 20, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
Magic, like many of the arts, seems to ebb and flow through our culture with its impact and essence growing and shrinking in importance from year to year. Of course, magic probably does far more of the latter. There was a brief resurgence a few years ago with the likes of David Blaine and Criss Angel, but both men quickly became well-deserved punchlines, leaving magic to hole up in the last place on Earth that still sees it as, well, magical. But outside of Las Vegas? Ricky Jay is one of a very select few who've not only made a living from their magic-related interests but also found success beyond the stage. (Penn & Teller are two more, but after that I'm stumped unless you count David Copperfield's brief foray into acting with Terror Train. Which you shouldn't.) Jay's incredible sleight-of-hand skills, fascination with history, sharp sense of humor and distinctive voice have kept him working, educating and entertaining us for decades. A new doc offers a glimpse up Jay's metaphorical shirt sleeves for a better look at what makes him tick, but unfortunately it does so by pointing the camera outwards.
Screen Gems Has an Interesting Opportunity with Their 'About Last Night…' RemakeMovie News By Scott Beggs on August 10, 2012 | Be the First To Comment
According to Deadline Hollywood, Steve Pink (Accepted, Hot Tub Time Machine) is in talks to direct a remake of About Last Night… which will take the original David Mamet play's title as its own. So, in all fairness, Sexual Perversity in Chicago isn't so much a remake as it is a second adaptation of the Mamet play. Only 237 more to go before he reaches Shakespeare status. The movie, written by Leslye Headland (Bachelorette), has Michael Ealy and Kevin Hart set to co-star and Regina Hall rumored for a third role. The production is still looking for the second female lead. Here's where I go out on a limb, so hear me out. The studious will notice that all three acting talents involved are 1) great at what they do and 2) all African-American. Thus, Screen Gems has a unique opportunity here, and I sincerely hope that they will not bury this project with niche-only marketing that hits the Tyler Perry sweet spot without reaching out organically to a broad base. Yes, I see the irony in me pointing out the obvious in order to ask Screen Gems not to point out the obvious, but there's no reason they shouldn't give the kind of advertising money necessary to treat this like anything other than a standard romantic dramedy. Except, you know, history.
Kevin Hart Is Now Taking Career Cues from Jim Belushi (And That Might Not Be a Bad Idea)Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on June 27, 2012 | Be the First To Comment
Recently, our own Nathan Adams bemoaned comedian-turned-actor Kevin Hart's decision to sign on to Valet Guys, as a sidekick to Kevin James in a surely unfunny Kevin James vehicle. But while that was perhaps a bad idea on Hart's part, we should not forget Hart's other recent project pick-up: a buddy cop comedy with Seth Rogen that has a misleading and/or totally brilliant tagline. Paired with today's announcement that Hart is taking cues from Jim Belushi, it seems as if the funny man is seriously interested in mixing up his comedic outings – and, as is so rare when it comes to talking about Jim Belushi's career cues (Snow Buddies, really?), that's probably a fantastic idea. THR reports that Hart has joined the cast of Screen Gems' remake of About Last Night. The 1986 film was directed by Edward Zwick and comes from no less than David Mamet's play, Sexual Perversity in Chicago. The film centered on a pair of twentysomethings (Rob Lowe and Demi Moore) who have a one night stand and attempt to make an actual go of it (in the form of a real relationship). All sorts of things bog them down – especially their disapproving best pals (played originally by Belushi and Elizabeth Perkins) who have no bones about trying to break them up.

Movies We Love: SpartanFeatures By Jeremy Kirk on February 2, 2011 | Comments (1)
Spartan (2004) You need to set your motherfucker to receive. Synopsis Val Kilmer plays Bobby Scott, a selection member for an elite and very secretive branch of the military. His methods are anything but traditional, but his results are definite. When he is called in to help the secret service search for the missing daughter of a high-ranking government official (you can just assume that official is the President, though it's never openly said), Scott soon realizes there is anything but a standard kidnapping taking place. Why We Love It In a word: Mamet. The story behind Spartan could have been handled with the minimal amount of effort put into characters and dialogue, and it probably could have still worked given a decent director and fine actors. This being a David Mamet films, you know you're getting more than anything typical especially in terms of dialogue. The lines in Spartan crack like a whip and give you much insight into the characters who are delivering them.

Chiwetel Ejiofor Shines in Mamet's 'Redbelt'Movie Reviews By Nate Deen on May 17, 2008 | Comments (8)
The overall writing is fluent, and the performance by Ejiofor is near perfect. It doesn't shatter the earth nor does it revolutionize the martial arts subgenre, but it is the work of a storyteller rather than the work of an action junkie director; and the end result is refreshing.

Uranium mine to get acid plantComment on this story
CHINA General Nuclear Power (CGNP) will start building a sulphuric acid plant at its Husab uranium mine in Namibia next month. The facility would be able to produce 1 500 tons of acid daily, Grant Marais, a spokesman for Swakop Uranium, CGNP's Namibian unit, said oN Tuesday. Sulphuric acid is used to extract metal from ore. The $2 billion (R21bn) Husab started in May and will be able to produce 15 million pounds of uranium a year. "The plant will be ready to produce when the processing plant comes on stream at the end of 2015," Marais said. – Bloomberg

Flights In 2008 the best way to get there was Ryanair from Stansted or East Midlands to Derry. Car hire is a must but is not expensive. Do check though when hiring a car in Derry (UK) and going into the Republic--ask if there is a surcharge. The hotel is about 35 minutes from there. Alternatively fly to Belfast international (not City) with one of the many carriers (about 90 minutes easy drive). For longer holidays--catch express ferry from Cainryan to Larne: comfortable boat and only takes an hour. Stay in Stranraer overnight before departing.

Friendship, Disharmony and Sonic Chapter 8.5The walk up the mountain was silent between Mordecai and Twilight for a good while. "What's wrong with Twilight? She wanted to talk earlier," he thought to himself in worry. Mordecai started thinking over their conversation from earlier.__________________________________________________________________________________________**FLASHBACK**Twilight had just finished telling him about her mishaps when she forgot to write a friendship report for Princess Celestia. He ended up laughing at the situation and said, "Y-you really got that stressed over one lousy letter?"Twilight lowered her ears and her head in embarrassment and quickened her pace from Mordecai. His laughter settled after he noticed that she had distanced herself away from him. He then asked, "Twilight, are you ok? Twilight?"He got no response from her, and he decided to quicken his pace to catch up to her.**END FLASHBACK**__________________________________________________
The Bad Little School-boy +000The Bad Little School-Boy by Sissy DemiIntroduction Once upon a time, there was a young boy by the name of Chris who attended a 7th Grade class in the Middle School of his town. Now, Chris was a rather naughty little boy ... his favorite self entertainments usually involved practical jokes on his teachers and mercilessly teasing the girls of his school. Then one day, his pranks went a tad too far. Some property was damaged, some feelings were hurt. Somebody was in big trouble! The principal deferred punishment to the school board, who in turn, deferred it to the PTA, which gave its authority entirely to the girls and teachers who were hurt by his careless taunts and pranks. The group spent a day or so deliberating on what suitable punishment was to be handed down. Then they thought of a doozy! They ran their idea before the PTA, who endorsed it to the school board, which re

I posted a few months ago that my baby was failure to thrive. She was off the charts for months. I don't think she gained more than 6 ozs in 3 months.
Anyways, last week she was 14.1 lbs and is ON the charts! 1.7% now! Whoot! The drs are leaving me alone now and no more testing. She's finally growing and will probably just be a little thing.
She does look so funny crawling, waving, clapping, blowing kisses. I mean, ppl think she is less than 5 months old. lol

The majority of time when you're trying to make changes to an isolated portion of your image the selection tools will get you 90% of the way there. Then it becomes much easier to simply refine the mask with a paintbrush and that's exactly what we're going to do in this example. So I'll begin by tapping the W key. The W key is going to give me my quick select tool and I want to select the jacket. So I'll start clicking and dragging. In order to select the jacket. Now, Photoshop doesn't always stop at the edge of the jacket, so I'll just try to get it as accurate as possible, but don't worry if it doesn't quite select what you need, because, remember, I mentioned that sometimes these automated tools will only allow us to get 90% of the way there. Now if I need to subtract an area, I can hold down the Option key or the Alt key and then click and drag to subtract that.
I'll also hold down the option key and just subtract this area. And then I'll try to release the Option or the Alt key and just grab these darker areas down here. Alright so it looks like I have a pretty good selection but it is going to need refinement. Now instead of making a refinement to the marching ant, I'm going to go ahead and add an adjustment layer and then we can use our paintbrush on the mass. So on the Adjustments panel, I'll select the hue saturation adjustment layer. And I want to colorize the jacket. I want to make it a lot more saturated, and I want to make that blue. So I'll increase the saturation and then I'll scoot the hue over until I reach the blue that I want.
Now I'm applying it too heavy right now but this might help me as I'm going in an refining the mask. So let's go ahead and collapse the properties panel by clicking on the double headed arrow and then I'll tap the B key to access my brush tool. I'm mostly going to zoom in using command plus and I'm going to zoom til I get to 100% and then I'll use the space bar in order to reposition the photograph in my image area. Now I can see for example up here at the top I've missed a little bit of the jacket.
So, if we look at my mask by Option or Alt clicking on it, we can see that if I want to add a little bit more, I need to paint with white. So we'll click again on the Eye icon on the Hue saturation adjustment layer, and make sure that white is my foreground color. If it's my background color, I can simply tap the X key in order to exchange my foreground and background colors. And then we'll just paint to touch up this area. You might even want to zoom in again using Cmd Plus or Crtl Plus and then just paint around the edge of that jacket.
Now, if you accidentally paint too far into the image area, all you need to do is tap the x key to exchange your foreground and background colors. And then we can just paint that out. So I'm going to work my way around the edge of the coat here. And sometimes I find that when I'm painting it's much easier to actually rotate the view of the image. Now I'm not going to rotate the image itself, I'm not transforming anything. I'm just going to tap the R key. That's going to give me my Rotate View tool, and then I can click and drag and you can see where that compass, that's the identifier that I'm simply rotating the view here.
It's like I'm writing on a piece of paper and I've shifted the position of the piece of paper on the table. I haven't actually transformed the paper. And the reason I would do that is that then when I tap the b key again to get my brush tool, I just find it easier to paint in this direction, the left to right, as apposed to up and down. Alright, I can see that I've missed a whole area here so I will tap the x key again. That way I can make sure that I'm painting with white. Painting with white is going to reveal the adjustment layers in those areas.
And I'll just keep refining this edge. Here I see too much, so I'll tap the X key again. You can see why I loaded this or why I made such a drastic change to Hue and Saturation. It's just going to help me to identify the places that I am making a change to so that I can quickly see those places and then paint in or out with black or white to modify the mask. Alright, so let's just move right here. And I think I'm almost finished, just keep tapping that X key to go back and forth.
And, X again to remove this, of course, don't worry if you make a mistake and you paint out, just use Cmd Z or Ctrl Z in order to undo the last paint stroke. And then we'll just scoot up here. Okay, and when we're finished, to reset the rotate view, I'm going to tap the Escape key. And that will automatically bring me back so that there's no rotation. And then I'll use Cmd+0, or Ctrl-+0 on Windows, and that will zoom out. And now I can modify the amount of saturation by double clicking on the icon for the adjustment and then bringing down that amount of saturation, and I might also want to go over to the mask itself, so right here on the properties panel we can click on the mask icon and then over here on the right click to select the layer mask. We can add just a wee bit of a feather here just to soften up the edge of that mask.
Then I'll click on the double headed arrows in order to close that. So I think you'll find that when you use the selection tools like the quick sleect tool or the lasso tool, they can help you create that intitial selection and then after you've turned that selection into a mask, you can use the painting tools to go in and refine it to get exactly the mask you want.

Who Will Control the Senate After This Year?
This year, the great struggle over what kind of country we will be continues, and it features a war for the U.S. Senate. The Democrats now hold a 53-to-47 majority, meaning that a shift of four seats to the Republicans is all it takes for the Senate to switch hands. And: Twenty-three seats currently held by Democrats are up for election, while the Republicans have only ten seats to defend. Here, we handicap the key races.

From the brick-paneled walls and booths lined with dark wooden accents to the seasonal selection of gourmet American cuisine, Blackstone embodies every aspect of the classic steak house. A selection of hearty cuts anchors the menu, whether as solitary 8-ounce cuts of filet mignon, or massive 22-ounce cowboy rib eyes adorned with béarnaise sauce, jumbo lump crabmeat, lobster-shaped earrings, and other edible accessories. Guests can also savor a taste of the seas with plates of Atlantic salmon or pan-fried trout. Blackstone's wine list collects more than 35 pours, including 19 by the glass.
Waiters at Folia Brazilian Steakhouse waltz across dining rooms wielding spears full of sizzling meats lauded by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for their succulence. To signal their hunger to roving waiters, diners simply display a green card near their plate, prompting waiters to proffer juicy picanha sirloin, sling out plump sausages, or stampede toward the table in an ill-fated game of Red Light, Green Light. Guests can devise elaborate salads at the expansive salad bar, where traditional leafy options mingle with tangy ceviche and seared tuna. House wines, from chardonnay to cabernet sauvignon, pair off with bites of steak or nibbles of fish to sneak into stomachs on the heels of well-spoken toasts. Piquant flavors and traditional Brazilian spices find an easy home within the dramatic red and deep mahogany colors of the dining room, transporting patrons and their palates to a place where gauchos gather around fire pits to relish both food and flames.
There's nothing political about a steak, even if it comes from a steakhouse run by the children of DeKalb County's former tax commissioner and county commissioner. John-Thomas and Christopher Scott, owners of Parker's on Ponce, envisioned their space as a cozy meeting place for everyone in the neighborhood. Mullioned windows surround their dining room, where servers deliver the restaurant's signature dish, the 16-ounce kansas city strip, amid two stone-faced fireplaces and twinkling tabletop candles. So perfectly prepared is this steak—along with the 16-ounce rib eye, 10-ounce filet, and a 32-ounce porterhouse—that the eatery garnered a Diner's Choice nod for best steaks on OpenTable.com. Southern-style classics receive upscale twists as evidenced by the Carolina trout, which comes adorned with a citrus beurre blanc and white-cheddar grits, as well as bone-in pork chops and salmon served with a salsa of pomegranate and barbecued mango. To accompany the rich fare, the Scotts and their staff have curated a lengthy wine selection, which ranges from Italian pinot grigio to a merlot squeezed from moon rocks. They are skilled in recommending craft and large-format beers from around the globe or one of 12 signature cocktails created with top-shelf liquors.
The chefs at Pampas Steakhouse prepare their cuts asado-style, which is an ancient Argentinian method of grilling meat over wood embers. Though the menu also features empanadas and Argentine cheese, there is a local element at play: the embers that fuel the custom-made grill are cut from Georgia white oak.
Wood crackles in a blazing fire as the smells of dust and wild grass waft through the air. In the background, horses' hooves pound across the plains. It's the end of the day for the gauchos, rugged Brazilian cowboys infamous for stealing wandering cattle. While the horsemen top one another with tales of their day's heists, succulent meat seasoned with sea salt roasts over the open flame of the fire. The smoke makes the gauchos' eyes water as much as their mouths as they sharpen their knives in preparation for a hard-earned feast.
This gaucho style of dining dates back to the 18th century. At Sal Grosso, the chefs continue the gauchos' culinary tradition—now known as churrasco—of slow-cooking meats over an open flame and then serving tableside, or rodizio. The servers slice and serve endless portions of beef, lamb, poultry, and pork flavored with various spices and coarse salt. They also deliver traditional Brazilian flan and other desserts along with signature caipirinhas and flavored martinis to diners who haven't zoned their stomachs as carnivore-exclusive territories.
Sal Grosso trades the wild grasses and plains of South America for Brazilian-made leather dining chairs, hardwood columns, and modern abstract art. In addition to a large bar and 70-seat banquet room, the patio gives guests a view of the modern-day gauchos cooking meat inside a glassed-in outdoor kitchen as a fountain sends water streaming into a connected pool.

As for the pressures felt by school-aged kids who want to succeed, well, that's the logical outcome of capitalism: the logic of ownership is to own more; the logic of education is to succeed over others (e.g., Hunger Games) even at the cost of forfeiting one's quest for genuine understanding and knowledge of the human condition.

I appreciate the values of Asian Americans re: education. Keep in mind that high grades are not the only predictor of a happy and successful life.
High grades may not always get you into an excellent university.
The USA is blessed with many wonderful young people. There are many different values that Americans encourage.
Believe me, you will not drop if you're not the brightest apple on the tree. And if you are, you may not have a happy and successful life.
Consider seeking a balance. You may find someday that you're a wonderful human being and a good parent and spouse. You may never be the smartest person on the planet. Perhaps you'll never get married or have children. Your income may be OK. If you're young, you still have time to figure out who you are and what you want to become. It's a piece of work and it's not a race.
Most of what others think about you is none of your business.

I remember about 3-4 years ago, the loner male Chinese student at a major Eastern university went on a shooting rage, killing half a dozen or so. Parents knew he had mental issues , but lived quietly and did nothing.

What's your point? You think that the parents of Adam Lanza (Newtown shootings), James Holmes (Aurora movie shootings), and the Columbine shooters did not know that their sons had mental issues?

I thnk it's just as big a tragedy to spend your life trying to achieve for your parents' sake, never feeling known and loved for who you are. These children may get the high status job and house, and feel empty their whole lives. Superficial living is what is being taught to these kids by their parents.
a resident of Amador Valley High School

Maybe it is time for the parents to be a parent. There ego is part of the problem not the kids.
But at the end of the day we need programs. Yes that is where most will end up do to the lack of social skills and no ability to lead others.
And why to I say this. Because I hire them each day and they can program but lack the social skill to work in teams and the ability to think out side of the box.
Just maybe you should try letting your child be a kid and play. Doing 8 grade math in 4 grade can wait a few years but being kid is now.

I really respect the Asian achievement ethic particularly that parents encourage in their children. Contrast this with some other cultures where children often have no fathers, parents are absentee, on drugs or in prison or where children think achievement and education are not cool. We see which cultures are succeeding in life and which ones aren't.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Jul 19, 2013 at 11:51 am
I respect all cultures. Here in America, for example, African-American culture -- an extremely diverse phenomenon make of numerous subcultures -- has produced such outstanding individuals as Martin Luther King, Barack Obama, Cornell West ... the list is long and continues to lengthen. So too with Asian Americans. Incredible achievements across a wide variety of subcultures.
The problem is how to organize a society that doesn't lend itself to chronic defeatism among some, intense feelings of anxiety among others. We're not there yet, nor, I would argue, will we be until we decide to organize ourselves around an alternative set of principles than those offered by our capitalist political economy.
a resident of Castlewood
on Jul 19, 2013 at 1:39 pm
There are factors in every culture that produce success and contributions to society and there are factors in cultures that create failure. The solution starts by acknowledging problems and addressing them within the culture not to continually blame others and look to government for continual assistance. The answer doesn't lie with "organizing a society". We've tried that through the last half century with a huge number of government-funded and expensive programs which haven't worked.
Asian americans have quietly gone about being successful in our society with low crime rates, high rates of marriage stability and graduating students.
a resident of Highland Oaks

It's all about how you see society and your role in it.
Of course there are exceptions brought about by the myriad situations that form individuals as they grow, but the Japanese tend to view their individual progress as having been made possible through the support they receive from those around them rather than as the result of individual effort alone. This of course also means that individuals feel the need to meet the expectations of family, teachers and others that populate a fairly wide circle.
I wonder if such a perspective comes into starker conflict when transplanted to American culture, which tends to be more indulgent of self.
a resident of Livermore
on Jul 19, 2013 at 4:45 pm
There will always be students who are high achievers and they come from various socio-economic backgrounds. All American students will not attended college/university and those students may also be viewed as highly successful.
Living a full and satisfying life is more than being a college/university graduate, having a high paying job, getting married, and having children.
Millions of Americans are transplants. Some arrived early in their lives and others arrived later and adapted to life in the USA with relatively few difficulties.
I've had social and professional contact with numerous Americans from various racial/ethnic backgrounds. Some have attained the American dream while others have experienced enormous difficulties living in the USA. The majority of individuals that I have befriended I perceive as successful Americans. They are happy, educated, socially responsible Americans who do not have criminal records. They have never harmed fellow Americans and they've all paid taxes, never stolen from their employers or fellow Americans, and served in the US military with pride and have never deliberately harmed others.
ALL of my retired friends have worked as volunteers. They were not all born in the USA. I enjoy knowing Americans from various social and ethnic backgrounds. At this time, the majority of my closest friends are responsible senior citizens.
Incidentally, there are many successful Asian Americans living happy and fulfilling lives. However, not all Asians are college/university educated, many have not completed high school or attended/completed college/university. Many work in lower paying jobs and also exhibit symptoms of mental illness. There also many Asians in American prisons.
It's easy to generalize about various populations that live in the USA. One of my primary concerns is "can we all get along?"
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Jul 19, 2013 at 6:54 pm
It never ceases to amaze how stunted intellects can take an idea and reduce it to a third grade proposition.
We live in a society where, as Asian American kids' essays reveal, the high expectations for success (which are already staggeringly high and skyrocketing upward seemingly without stop), leads to high anxiety, guilt, shame, and sometimes the taking of one's own life. If we listen to these kids, maybe we can catch a glimmering of understanding about the nature of the culture that emanates from our current political economy.
So, too, that participants of African-American culture can succeed as they have while so many are cast aside in abject despair, is suggestive of the need for us to go back to the drawing board. We've done something wrong, and continue to do so.
Matters will not change, as they should, until we develop new imaginaries of possibility that point to new ways of organizing our lives and prioritizing our values.

Still, there must be a way to help the Asian students who are suffering and not happy.

It's my hope that the Asian students who feel enormous pressure to succeed eventually become healthy, happy, productive, successful adults with loving friends and family.

There are factors in every culture that produce success and contributions to society and there are factors in cultures that create failure. The solution starts by acknowledging problems and addressing them within the culture not to continually blame others and look to government for continual assistance. anyway here is the Web Link look it on and think to how to write better essays

Childhood.. what a terrible thing to waste. In our race to force successful adulthood we sometimes sacrifice our children's right to be children. Loss of joy and innocence prematurely is like extinction, it is not a state that can be reversed

Too many people put so much effort into getting into a top university right out of high school knowing that it's like a sweepstakes. AP courses, volunteer work, worry about grades all contribute to a high stress level.
There is the much less stressful approach of attending a community college for 2 years, then transferring into a prestigious 4 year college.
Las Positas, for example, has an on-track program to satisfy the lower division requirements of both the UC system and the state college system which makes the process of transistioning into a 4 year school very easy.
To get into a community college you don't have to take AP courses, you don't have to have volunteer hours, you don't even have to take an SAT. This all greatly reduces the stress on the high school senior, and on the parents. And the best part for parents is that the cost is thousands less than going to a "big" school right away.
When it's time to transfer out of the community college, the 4 year college can see that the student has demonstrated a level of commitment to obtaining a 4 year degree which helps in the admission process.
And in the end, the student graduates with a degree from a good 4 year school and no one cares that the first two years were done somewhere else.
Granted, the level of education at Las Positas can't be compared to what one would receive at UC, but given everything else it is a viable way to go.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

im liking this patch, quite a few good changes to items and some annoying champs have been fixed from ridicilous state *taric*
Cute Asian Kitty
how bout get rid of that pedo gay **** looking grandpa from the shop. his dumb derpy face makes me wanna take a gun to his head and blow him to billion tiny pieces
If you downvote this you support pedophilia
When is the info for tommorow's champ and skin sale gonna be put up?
Seems like all Singed should build merc threads now lol.
Vinta Calvert
I'm not seeing a lot of things in this patch that make sense.
Why did Morello bother hinting about Janna buffs on the forums. That's barely anything. Fixed a bug and made knockup longer on fully charged tornadoes which support Janna barely ever uses. At best this is a very minor AP Janna buff. Pathetic.
Junior Member
Sad about the Singed nerf to his ultimate, I really think that's more than needed.
Also the BotRK change is just stating the hotfix that happened, I don't believe it's a new change.
No nerfs for vi or master yi? Why riot?

Gareth Frank Bale (born 16 July 1989) is a Welsh footballer who plays for English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur and the Wales national team as a winger.
Bale began his professional career at Southampton, playing at left back, earning acclaim as a free kick specialist. Since transferring to Spurs in 2007, managerial and tactical shifts have seen him transform into a more offensively-oriented player. Recently, Bale has played an integral role in Tottenham's success domestically and in the Champions League.
Bale was born in Cardiff to parents Frank, a school caretaker, and Debbie, an operations manager; he attended Eglwys Newydd Primary School at Whitchurch. He is the nephew of former Cardiff City footballer Chris Pike. It was while at this school he first came to the attention of Southampton at age nine, when he was playing in a six-a-side tournament with his first club, Cardiff Civil Service Football Club. Growing up his football hero was fellow Welshman and Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs.
