I worked at Booz Allen Hamilton full-time (more than a year)
The culture here is amazing. the work/life balance is great, and the business mindset for the Firm is correct. They will continue to be a force within the environment and continue to mentor young Consultants and leverage their inherent skills as they expand within the Civil market.
The annual assessment cycle is brutal, but gives a true look at the talents of the staff on the team. The political games that are played here depends on your manager and there are good and bad. That comes with any Firm of this size. It was overall a good experience.

None come to mind...One of the IT employees was helpful.Cons
The "team" that administered the particular project that I was associated with for 20 months, was arrogant, rude and aloof. Perhaps if I had worked with a BAH Project Team, my experiences and opinions might have been more positive... Their online system of submitting receipts and billable hours on a monthly basis, was notoriously difficult to get to work.Advice to ManagementAdvice

Hundreds of Pakistani tribesmen paraded in the streets to demand an end to US drone attacks which they said were killing innocent people in the tribal areas, witnesses said. In 2010 the campaign doubled missile attacks in the tribal area with around 100 drone strikes killing more than 650 people, according to an AFP tally. Drone strikes killed 4 militants in northwest Pakistan today, the third attack in four days by US forces against al Qaeda and Taliban factions. The US drones launched two missiles that hit a bakery in Miran Shah, a central town in the North Waziristan tribal region, according to The Associated Press. The body count couldn't be immediately verified because locals were still searching through the rubble, the AP said. The BBC reported those killed supported the Taliban, and the missiles hit a house in the early morning. Al Qaeda and Taliban militants are known to use Miran Shah as a center of operations, a Voice of America report said. On Wednesday and Thursday, drone strikes killed 14 suspected militants in Pakistan's northwestern region, Reuters reported. More from GlobalPost: Back-to-back drone strikes test diplomatic standoff The US and Pakistan are at odds over how to address al Qaeda and Taliban forces in the country. According to Reuters, the US is trying to break up the Haqqani militant network in Afghanistan, which appears to be hiding in Pakistan. Pakistan's government wants drone strikes to stop because of civilian casualties and an attack in November that mistakenly killed 24 Pakistani soldiers. The government closed supply routes in response. NATO forces planning their withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2014 have requested those routes be reopened to ensure a safe and efficient departure.

Bye NYC, concrete jungle where dreams are made of!
... go to Costa Rica instead before returning home. We went for a walk round Central Park at noon on Christmas Day which was, rather surprisingly, incredibly busy. Afterwards we had Christmas Day lunch at Ruth's Chris Steak House and then spent the rest of the day facetiming family and watching films in true Christmas style.
On Boxing Day we had another sunny day and decided to go for our last run around Central Park. I think it's the first ...

Peter and I were shattered after yesterday. We slept till 10am, then Peter went back to bed after breakfast. Unheard of for him. He was so tired and his body was aching. We must be getting old. We've been averaging about 10kms per day walking.
Had a great stretch and massage ball session on my poor aching body and a hot shower. Felt a bit better.

Amerasia Journal Call for Papers
Guest Editors:
Publication Date:
Due Date:
Unfree labor, dispossession, and displacement are technologies of the carceral state, which depends upon the logics of control and punishment to create hierarchies of difference and normalize its deployment of violence.
In this special issue of Amerasia Journal, we call for papers and dialogues that examine the convergence of indigenous communities and Asian communities in the Americas as subjects of the carceral state, subject to nation-state attempts to refashion them into proper liberal and economic subjects through assimilation, dispossession, militarization, and relocation. What do such relational analyses tell us about the ways in which the carceral state improvises, reutilizes, and deploys diverse methods to constitute, in Michel Foucault's words, "the power of normalization and the formation of knowledge" of what it means to be a productive citizen, a legible and proper subject? How do relational analyses of Asian communities in the Americas and indigenous communities further illuminate the workings of the carceral state within and beyond national borders? Why and how did settlers and the colonized both become subject to the carceral state and under what conditions? How did both communities' resistance to, or rejection of, carceral technologies forge unexpected affinities or alliances? What insights do such relational histories of Asian diasporic and indigenous experiences reveal about the workings of the carceral state and what possible interventions might relational histories suggest?
Submission Guidelines and Review Process:
• Initial review of submitted papers by guest editors and Amerasia Journal editorial staff
This special issue seeks papers of approximately 5,000 words in length. We encourage the submission of interdisciplinary and accessible writings that may be adopted for courses in American Studies, American Indian Studies, Asian American Studies, Critical Ethnic Studies, and Pacific Islander Studies.
Please send correspondence and papers regarding the special issue on the carceral state in Asian American Studies to the following addresses. All correspondence should refer to "Amerasia Journal Carceral State Issue" in the subject line.
Professor Karen J. Leong: firstname.lastname@example.com

The latest issue of Amerasia Journal brings the stories of two powerful people to our readers. The first is a 32-page tribute to the late Yuri Kochiyama, who passed away in June of 2014. A collection of remembrances from three generations of family members (tributes that were given at her three memorials spanning August to the end of September), along with notable writers & a filmmaker who have been influenced by Kochiyama—Karen Tei Yamashita, Thandisizwe Chimurenga, Renee Tajima-Peña, and Diane Fujino—make up this tribute section, including a vintage location shot from the making of the documentary My America, or Honk if You Love Buddha.
That being said, the cover images of this issue point to a second powerful story about L.A. graffiti artist Tempt One who has been diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis aka Lou Gehrig's Disease) for 12 years, and has been stricken with paralysis for most of those years. It was an artistic decision on my part to put Tempt One's work on the cover because it really needs to be seen in color. Ben Higa's article "Tempt" highlights Tempt's impact on the L.A. graffiti and art scene, and also documents the contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders to the local hip hop culture. The UCLA AASCPress has donated 50 copies of this issue to the Tempt One ALS Foundation, to help raise funds for Tempt's continued 24-hour care. Tempt One's story is one of amazing perseverance to keep on keeping on and expressing himself, now through an eye writer, that was developed to help him (and since, others like him) communicate with the world.
I've posted some photos of our visit with Tempt One. Ben Higa organized the visit, which included Jose "DJ Dwenz" Buktaw, Ben, and my husband and I. Ben hadn't seen Tempt for eight years and Jose for 11 years. So it was a long overdue reunion that we were honored to be a part. Tempt's dad, Ron Quan, joined us and Tempt's hospital room was quite cozy—us four visitors, Ron Quan, and Tempt's day nurse Keyasia, who took the picture of the six of us.
It was mystifying to see Tempt typing his communication with us using his eye movements to hit letters on a computer screen and then hearing a computer voice speaking his words. I didn't realize at first that it was him talking to us through the computer, peppered with lots of "haha's." As Ben showed him the issue with Tempt's self-portrait prominently on the cover, Tempt humbly said that Yuri should have been on the cover.
It was an inspiring moment to meet this street artist who has the heart of a warrior. His struggle to keep communicating and expressing himself despite his physical paralysis just makes you stop and try to imagine the incomprehensible. His story has inspired a documentary, as well as the invention of the eyewriter, and now with Ben Higa's article in Amerasia, has opened up a peek for us into Tempt's impact in the graffiti world.
If you would like to help, you can make donations to Tempt through Paypal or by sending a check—
Checks can be made payable to:Tempt One ALS Foundation P.O. Box 206 5280 Beverly Blvd. Suite C Los Angeles CA, 90022
Paypal donations can be made at:
All donations are tax deductible and go directly towards Tempt's immediate care as well as others suffering from this terrible disease.
To learn more about Tempt One—
The latest open-topic issue of Amerasia Journal highlights our longstanding commitments to the Asian American community, with a tribute to Yuri Kochiyama and a spotlight on renowned graffiti artist Tempt One. To commemorate the passing of Yuri Kochiyama—one of the true giants of Asian America—Amerasia's own Mary Uyematsu Kao compiled tributes from those who knew the pioneering political activist the best, from family members, kindred spirits, and faithful followers. We hear the remembrances of three generations of Yuri Kochiyama's immediate family, as well as thoughts on her politics and life from Thandisizwe Chimurenga, Diane Fujino, Renee Tajima-Peña, and Karen Tei Yamashita.
Amerasia Journal Issue 40:3 presents the work of Tempt One, an influential artist in the hip-hop community who has continued to create art after being diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) over a decade ago. Along with journalist Ben Higa's brief history of his friend's significance to graffiti art in Los Angeles and beyond, we include a brief portfolio of Tempt's work and reprint a first-person account from the artist himself, composed through specially designed software that allows him to type with his eyes.
Amerasia is also pleased to publish the winning essay for the 2013-2014 Lucie Cheng Prize for outstanding graduate student research by Jungha Kim, titled "'I'm Still at War with Myself': Transnational Adoption and Endless Labor in Jane Jeong Trenka's Fugitive Visions"; a recent Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania, Jungha Kim was nominated for the award by her advisor, Professor Josephine Park. The prize is named after the late Professor Lucie Cheng, former director of the UCLA Asian American Studies Center (1972-1987).
Rounding out the issue is new research on the subversive use of humor in Miné Okubo's Citizen 13660 by Stella Oh (Loyola Marymount University) and E. San Juan, Jr.'s exploration of the Huk Rebellion in the Philippines as recounted in Benjamin Appel's 1951 novel, Fortress in the Rice. The issue also includes book reviews of recent titles in Asian American Studies, featuring Robert Ku's Dubious Gastronomy and Hoang Tan Nguyen's A View from the Bottom.
Published by UCLA's Asian American Studies Center since 1971, Amerasia Journal is regarded as the core journal in the field of Asian American Studies.

Two Yuri Kochiyama Memorials during Black August
It is symbolic that two Yuri Kochiyama Celebrations-of-Life took place during the month of August. August was designated "Black August" in the early 1970s in honor of the fallen Black freedom fighters who sparked the revolutionary prison movement. Honoring Jonathan Jackson, George Jackson, William Christmas, James McClain and Khatari Gaulden, Black August has grown to commemorate Nat Turner's slave rebellion of 1831, the birth of the Underground Railroad in 1850, the March on Washington in 1965, the birth month of Marcus Garvey, Fred Hampton, and Mutulu Shakur, and the month that WEB DuBois passed away, just to name a few. The significance of two Yuri Kochiyama memorials occurring during Black August speaks to the mainstay of her lifelong activism—U.S. political prisoners, especially African Americans.
On August 3, Oakland's Scottish Rite Auditorium was the site of Yuri's first Celebration of Life, as she spent the remaining years of her life in Oakland. 700 people, including family, friends, and her countless admirers, gathered for a two-hour program emceed by Warren Furutani. Some of the main highlights of the program were her son Eddie Kochiyama, who shared what it was like growing up with Yuri, Charlie Chin sang "Song for Aichi," Nobuko Miyamoto read an impassioned letter from Mutulu Shakur (prison inmate for 28 years, world reknown for his successful use of acupuncture for drug detoxification), Somei Yoshino Taiko, dance, clips from three films that featured Yuri, and her New York great grandchildren—Leilani, Malia, Kenji, and Kai. Angela Davis' tribute recounted what Yuri has meant to U.S. political prisoners, detailing Yuri's personal qualities that have distinguished her as a life-long activist. Heartfelt tributes and remembrances from Karl Jagbandhansingh, Greg Morozumi, Peggy Saika, and Arisika Razak along with a jazz group featuring Kim Nalley on vocals singing "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free," and a jazz/taiko number "Forever Yuri Blues" (Akira Tana, Bob Kenmotsu, Mark Izu, Tammy Lynne Hall, and Kenny Endo). Oakland bid farewell to Yuri with renewed inspiration to continue the never-ending work for social justice.
On August 31, the Aratani Theater of the JACCC (Japanese American Cultural and Community Center) was the site of LA's celebration of life for Yuri. About 500 people gathered, including Yuri's San Pedro relatives. Emceed again by Warren Furutani, LA's program featured Aiko Yoshinaga-Herzig and Bibi Angola who gave remembrances of their many years of friendship and activism with Yuri in New York City. Musical tributes by Maceo Hernandez and ELA Taiko, Scott Nagatani and friends, Nobuko Miyamoto and friends, and June Kuramoto; Tracy Kato-Kiriyama gave a spoken word tribute, a video by Tad Nakamura featuring the Blue Scholars "I Wanna Be Like Yuri Kochiyama," and a touching grandchildren statement given by Ryan Kochiyama. Eddie K. opened the program and Tommy K. gave the closing remarks.
Final Harlem Celebration-of-Life
September 27 was the final farewell celebration-of-life at the First Corinthian Baptist Church in Yuri's beloved Harlem of New York City. Emceed by Jamal Joseph, Yuri's two eldest grandchildren Akemi and Zulu opened and closed the program. A special highlight was the tribute given by Attallah Shabazz, Malcolm X's first daughter, who recounted seeing Yuri rush to the stage to keep Malcolm's head from touching the floor, while grown men ran in the other direction. She was emotionally moved and her tribute signified the strong connection that will forever link the Kochiyama and Shabazz families.
Tomie Arai, Peter Wong, and Lumumba Akinwole-Bandele all gave uplifting remembrances of the role Yuri has played in different communities while an array of performers gave energizing performances (Soh Daiko, Taiyo Na and Magnetic North, Janice Robinson, Pua Ali'i'llima o Nuioka, and Jamal Joseph and Impact Repertory.) The celebration was especially bittersweet as granddaughter Akemi Kochiyama-Sardinha asked for a moment of silence for Herman Ferguson (longtime Harlem activist), Herman Lew (filmmaker and CCNY professor), and Wayne Lum (David Wong Support Committee), all close friends of Yuri who had passed recently.
All three programs drew out an array of people spanning perhaps five generations that were all touched by Yuri's life work. Each gathering reunited many folks and deepened the ties to Yuri's legacy of revolutionary struggle and human rights activism.
New media platforms are providing novel avenues of inquiry into what it means to be Asian American. Guest edited by Victor Bascara (UCLA) and Lisa Nakamura (University of Michigan), the latest Amerasia Journal, Issue 40:2 "Asian American Cultural Politics Across Platforms," is a path-breaking exploration of the relationship between Asian American Studies and the emerging field of platform studies. Covering a wide range of media, from conceptual art to music video, photography to video gaming, "Asian American Cultural Politics Across Platforms" engages the most contemporary forms of cultural representation and how they shape the identities of their consumers and users.
Prompted by the guest editors' goal to call attention to "new scholarship in Asian American Studies that takes platforms into consideration" in our post-digital era, the special issue asks how Asian American culture and politics are increasingly shaped by new media across real and virtual environments. Valerie Soe's contribution examines how three Asian American artists confront ingrained inequalities in the art world, challenging stereotypes of Asian American identity in thought-provoking and provocative ways. Similarly, Warren Liu revisits Tseng Kwong Chi's Mao suit photography series and reimagines how the iconic images represent Chineseness as a reflection of American and Western anxieties over China.
The special issue goes beyond these art forms and delves into other creative realms. Erin Suzuki interrogates East-West power dynamics in a comparative analysis of Psy's "Gangnam Style" music video and Jessica Hagedorn's novel Dogeaters, as she focuses on how references to pop culture cited in each index a global pecking order on both cultural and economic terms. Takeo Rivera tackles the issue of Orientalist stereotypes as they appear in the best-selling video game Deus Ex: Human Revolution, as he delves into the ambivalence of Asian gamers who might feel both pleasure and trauma in annihilating the game's virtual Asian bodies. Loan Dao, on the other hand, considers how youth culture and social networking enable political praxis, detailing how Southeast Asian American youth have embraced and engaged with hip hop culture to advocate for immigrant rights.
The special issue marks the passing of civil rights pioneer Yuri Kochiyama with a personal tribute by Mary Uyematsu Kao. Also featured in the issue are a community spotlight on Los Angeles-based media arts institution Visual Communications and reviews of Lucy Burns's Puro Arte, Stephen Sohn's Racial Asymmetries, and other recent publications.

We already have a detached, cynical, Machiavellian misanthrope in the oval office. It hasn't done us that much good.
We should look for leaders who are proactive, and who are willing to tell us things that are uncomfortable to hear and make choices that are hard for others to make. We give so much responsibility to our head leaders wouldn't it be nice to have a leader who was actually as cut-throat as we had hoped? Not everyone can get what they want, but it'd be nice if the majority could.
Hmm. This is a very interesting article. It investiages the thought process of utilitarism and puts it in an extreme prespection. The only issue with this assertion is the fact that the majority of utilitarians are more then likely not as extreme. I do not believe their typical ideals and outlooks should not be applied to a situation as so. I think to make such a strong statement and comparison to those we elect in office is going a too far and is on the end of the spectrum. I may not complete agree with the views or morals of utilitarism; however, I think they are illustrated in the wrong light in this scenarrio.
""If we really want the greatest happiness of the greatest number, we should be electing psychopathic, Machiavellian misanthropes."
Got it.
Eric Cantor for president!"
Unfortunately, the rich are the largest, in political population and wealth if not in numbers, so therefore they will be the ones made happy at the expense of 300 million other hardworking citizens.
I wouldn't push the fat guy off the bridge or even think about it. He is just an innocent by standard just like I would be. Lets get real, the 5 workers would definitely notice the runaway car coming towards them but if not that's life. I hate to be a downer, but people die everyday of accidents. If i truly wanted to attempt to save these 5 people I would risk my own life instead of the fat man's. Just like our politics should think, I think we should never throw anyone else under the bus, or in this case trolley, but ourselves. As for electing psychopaths, it could be both good and bad. It could be bad for obvious reasons, but it could be good if the psychopath is just extremely motivated in his work.
Brave New World would be what extended periods of utilitarianism would do to Earth. Not that its bad, society is very structured, if you want freedom you can go live in one of those isolated colonies, and humanity as a whole can focus on much more useful endeavours such as scientific development rather than waste time on economics and wars
I agree with the concept that according to the study we aren't electing the right people, but most people do not look at the over all benefit to everyone when electing someone. in most cases people elect who is going to best suit their own needs, and will help themselves the most. Therefore we might be electing people that aren't looking out for the overall best interest of the group, but within ourselves we aren't looking out for the best interest of the group.
If we want to create the greatest happiness for everyone, we would want to elect a utilitarian. But this article suggests that in order for someone to be a utilitarian, one must be psychopathic, machiavellian or put a low value on life. When you hear a description of a political leader with those three adjectives, one is more willing to not want that leader. Yes we would want to most happiness, but would we want someone who was psychopathic, machiavellian or put a low value on life? I can't say that I would.
I was happy to consider myself a utilitarian [as a follower of the educationist John Dewey] until reading this article and the posted comments. The educational philosophy referenced could be reduced to: "Do what works. If something doesn't work, or doesn't work as expected, stop doing it." I also thought that would be great if applied to government.
Now that I have been treated to the theoretical assassination of laterally challenged people by means of the public transit system I may have to reassess.
However, why are we considering a theoretical, and barely possible, situation when a real world one begs for attention? If the President of the U.S. is told that a drone could spare the lives of hundreds or thousands of innocent future victims by eliminating a couple of beturbaned Al Qaida luminaries, should he authorize the firing of of it?
"If we really want the greatest happiness of the greatest number, we should be electing psychopathic, Machiavellian misanthropes."
Too bad Dick Cheney is not running.
The thing may not be about throwing the people under the must, but making quick decisions. Should the leader be someone that will be indecisive or someone that could come up with an even better plan? In reality the overweight man probably has a shorter lifespan anyway, so why not save five more lives that may be more productive. Who deserves the chance to live, who are we to decide, but who would make the most rational decisions is what matters.
The US citizens do not put the likes of Machiavelli in power, that's for certain. Those we elect, however, tend to believe that other countries do not deserve better than misanthropes, psychopathic and other "necessary" dictators. That's the only explanation I find to why we would tolerate and maintain ties with the likes of Paul Kagame of Rwanda, Yoweri Museveni of Uganda and, not long ago, Hosni Mubarak of Egypt!
In reality, we are voting for the Utilitarians that would push the stranger in front of the trolley. But the reason our candidates stand out is they do not show that side to the public. They show us the side we want to see, where we would be comfortable to have a beer with them. So are we wrong to see the side that we want to see and ignore that behind that image they are pushing strangers in front of trolleys? Ignorance is bliss. And if it is better for all of us, then go for it.
People react differently when thrown into real life situations. Yea, they might say they will push the fat guy, but lets be honest, they really wont. People nowadays dont act. They just sit, watch and then react. Its life.
As the saying goes, the answer is only as good as the question. So let's rephrase the question to see what the researchers really studied. The rephrased question is "Would you commit murder of an innocent person in order to save the lives of others"? Those who said YES believe in the philosophy of "the ends [e.g. murder] justify the means" which is Machiavellian of course. That is not the philosophy of utilitarianism which is premised on improving a civil society, not a murderous one. The research question ferreted out who is willing to commit the crime of murder for a specific reaason, not who is a utilitarian. By grossly generalizing the philosophy of Jeremy Bentham the only "roughshodding" going on is the author's conclusion about his concerns for "type of people you want making the laws". Distorting a philosophy for the sake of let's say a Saturday Night Live TV skit is funny. But making it a serious article simply shows a lack of education - something Jeremy Bentham tried very successfully to improve on in his time at the University College of London in the 1850s.

Don't you mean "vertically challenged"?"
I think it is more accurate to say "horizontally challenged". Unless, of course, you are both short AND fat.

"You are driving, safely and reasonably, when 5 people instantly appear directly in front of your car. If you do nothing, all 5 will surely be killed. There are 2 other people present, 1 on each side of this group. Both are certainly safe if you do nothing. Your only options are to 1) do nothing, 2) swerve sharply in either direction, surely killing 1 of the people to the side of the group, but certainly saving the 5 directly in front of you. Do you swerve?"
I slam on the breaks, but run over the 5 people. If I am presumably doing everything safely and correctly up to that point, and 5 people suddenly appear in front of me, then obviously it is THEIR fault and not mine. Since those 5 people are obviously too stupid to avoid stepping in front of an oncoming vehicle, then I am actually doing the world a favor by eliminating them from the gene pool. You know, Darwinism... Natural Selection... Great-Circle-Of-Life... all that utilitarian stuff.
In the runaway trolley hypothetical scenario, you are told that only one of two outcomes are possible: either the fat person dies (at your hands) or the five workers die. But something that has always bothered me about this question is that in real life, who is going to be 100% sure that their decision to sacrifice the fat person will save the lives of the workers? In reality, there are an infinite number of possible outcomes, and the trolley could very well not slow down enough and kill all six people. Or maybe the fat person derails the trolley and ends up killing 50.
That being said though I do understand the point of the question, which is to see whether or not someone will make the decision to sacrifice human lives if they BELIEVE the outcome will result in less deaths.
How are we defining utility? A key assumption is that the decision-maker will get some utility, a measure of satisfaction, by saving lives. If their personality is such that the duration of life is not worth getting out of bed in the morning, it certainly isn't worth pushing a heavy-set stranger into a trolley-bus, especially for the lives of other strangers.
It is so wonderful being a cynic. I have all those utilitarians to renew my faith in humanity.

Donovan Hohn, an erstwhile editor at this magazine (and current contributing editor), has been writing terrific essays for Harper's and others for a number of years. He has a lyrical way with line and a rigorous way with theme. He is attentive to the appearances of things, to the natural and its perversion by man. A little essay of Hohn's that appeared in the journal of little essays, Brevity, begins:
I was, at age nine, a god of snails. On the quiet San Francisco cul-de-sac where my family lived, Helix aspera, the brown garden snail, was by far the most plentiful and least evasive wildlife around. Snails plied the long green fins of our neighbor's agapanthus like barges transiting green canals. I'd unglue them from their shiny trails, hold them in mid-air, and poke their sensitive horns. They'd ripple and recoil.
Hohn also goes bigger. Readers of this magazine recall his excellent "Moby Duck: Or the synthetic wilderness of childhood," from last year. The essay contains, among many, this terrific paragraph:
Let's draw a bath. Let's set a rubber duck afloat. Look at it wobbling there. What misanthrope, what damp, misty November of a sourpuss, upon beholding a rubber duck afloat, does not feel a crayola ray of sunshine brightening his gloomy heart? Graphically, the rubber duck's closest relative is not a bird or a toy but the yellow happy face of Wal-Mart commercials. A rubber duck is in effect a happy face with a body and lips—which is what the beak of the rubber duck has become: great, lipsticky, bee-stung lips. Both the happy face and the rubber duck reduce facial expressions to a kind of pictogram. They are both emoticons. And they are, of course, the same color—the yellow of an egg yolk or the eye of a daisy, a shade darker than a yellow raincoat, a shade lighter than a taxicab.
Melville's "damp, drizzly November in my soul" is gently recast in a much smaller sea. The nice writing—"a crayola ray of sunshine" gets quickly to the reflexive infantile joys that motivate most of us most—doesn't undercut the revealing thinking: rubber duck and smily face make immediate sense, but I hadn't paired them in my mind before. I like, as well, the deft hopscotching through yellow at the end, an associative dance as light-footed as Alexander Theroux's book-length perorations on color tend, despite his talents, towards lead-footedness.
In celebration of Hohn having been named, yesterday, one of ten recipients of a 2008 Whiting Writers' Award, why not spend some armchair time with two of Hohn's pieces for this magazine. "Moby Duck," which begins, irresistably, like this:
We know exactly where the spill occurred: 44.7°N, 178.1°E. We know the day, January 10, 1992, but not the hour. Neither do we know the name of the ship nor of its captain nor of the shipping magnate who owned it. We do know the harbors from which it sailed (Hong Kong) and to which it was headed (Tacoma). We know that despite its grandeur, when rocked by forty-foot waves, the colossal vessel, a floating warehouse weighing 50,000 deadweight tons or more and powered by a diesel engine the size of a barn, would have rolled and pitched and yawed about like a toy in a Jacuzzi.
And "Through the Open Door: Searching for deadly toys in China's Pearl River Delta," which starts, perfectly, this way:
Entering the Toys & Games Fair at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center last January was a bit like falling down the rabbit hole into Wonderland. Alice, however, was nowhere to be seen, and upon inspection the white rabbit turned out to be a battery-powered plush toy with an MP3 player tucked inside its foamy bowels. And as they watched the synthetic fauna flash and beep and dance, there were no expressions of wonderment on the faces of my fellow travelers to Wonderland, unless you count as wonder the naughty twinkle in the eyes of the silver-haired Chinese man peeping through his spectacles at a dozen little plastic dogs industriously pantomiming the procreative act. Humping Dog, the toy was called—I hump until disconnected, the tagline ran.
I propose Hohn's "Moby Duck" and "Through the Open Door" as your weekend read.

 want to try linux now.

But it seems that the original Psion isn't supported
 anymore by openpsion, too :-(
 I tried the kernel for the 5mx, but it did nothig

 I would love to help you porting openpsion to the

Hi there,

I have an old Psion Netbook Sereis 7 at home and i am
 considering putting Linux on it as Epoc gets a bit old.

I just wondered, has somebody already considered
 porting the opensource Meamo platform from Nokia
 (http://maemo.org) onto the Netbook. Maemo is based on
 Debian, has a clean and nice iterface and there are
 already a lot of useful applications being ported to it
 (such as Abiword, Gnumeric, Opera Browser, PIM
 applications etc.). Pesonally I think this would be
 great as the Linux on Netbook project would benefit
 from these great applications.

Regards
 Andi

Enobong was a most capable guest, since she had to let herself in and find her own way around the apartment, as I had gone to bed before she arrived. She took my absence in stride and left the place in perfect condition before she left the next day. I'd be happy to welcome her again any time!
She was wonderful guests! They were clean, quiet and easy to get along with. Communication was easy and she was quick to respond to messages. I would gladly have her back to stay!
Enobong is a wonderful guest. Friendly and really clean. Definitively recommended to anyone!
Enobong and her family were wonderful guests. Very fun to be around, communicative through out the process, and cleaned up before leaving. Awesome

By this time, the nightclub's fire alarm had been activated, and, although there were four possible exits, most people naturally headed for the front door through which they had entered. The ensuing stampede led to a crush in the narrow hallway leading to that exit, quickly blocking the exit completely and resulting in numerous deaths and injuries among the patrons and staff.
Clearly the fault lie to the unsafe design of this nightclub. Exit hallway should be wider. The nightclub administrator were greedy and let in too many customers in for the capacity this building allowed. Overcrowd nightclub is common.
[...] "falsely shouting fire and causing a panic" could mean that people would die for no other reason than the shouter's grossly irresponsible prank.
Wrong. The difference here is that the peoples saw the fire and panicked because of the smoke and flame. You know that. When there is a fire alarm, peoples wander around to see what going on and calmly leave just in case. They only panic when they witness is a real fire. Fuck you, fascist enabler.
Is your job running? You'd better go catch it!

New England Polluter List Includes NY Cement Co.
By Allison Dunne
Hudson, NY – An awards list is out that spotlights twelve of New England's top polluters. For the first time, there are recipients based in New York. And one of the companies is St. Lawrence Cement. The environmental group behind the list will now join forces with New York-based plant opponents in their quest to prevent the plant from becoming a reality. WAMC's Allison Dunne reports.

Students raise slogans against governments for failing to prevent such incidents
Hundreds of students staged a protest here on Thursday and expressed their solidarity with the Delhi gang-rape victim who died on December 29.
They submitted a copy of a memorandum signed by 10,000 people against sexual assaults on women to Deputy Commissioner B.N. Krishnaiah.
The Students' Federation of India (SFI) and Janavadi Mahila Sanghatane (JMS) had jointly organised the protest.
The protesters gathered at Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar Circle, off the Bangalore-Mysore Highway, and raised slogans against the rapists. Later, they marched to the Deputy Commissioner's office where they staged the protest.
Signature campaign
The protesters raised slogans against the Union and State governments for failing to prevent incidents of sexual assault on women and requested the public to raise their voice against such crimes. "People must raise their voice against rape, molestation, physical assault or any act threatening the dignity of women," Jennifer Joy, a pre-university student, told The Hindu .
The SFI and JMS had launched the signature campaign in the wake of the Delhi gang-rape to urge the Union government to implement stringent laws to put an end to sexual assaults and domestic violence against women, Shobha, an activist of JMS, told The Hindu .
The Union government should implement 33 per cent reservation for women besides initiating stringent measures against female foeticide and human trafficking, Ms. Shohba said.
In the memorandum, the protesters also said that the authorities must not allow television serials, advertisements and films that glorified crimes and sexual assaults on women.
