Clinton Vetoes Marriage Tax for All the Wrong Reasons
President Clinton issued his long-promised veto on Saturday and dashed the hopes of married couples everywhere who were hoping for a tax cut this year. In a confusing message, Clinton stated first that the elimination of the marriage tax penalty would take too much revenue away from the government and more than use up the federal surplus about which we keep hearing so much.Upon closer examination, it is clear than Clinton believes no such thing.

A Change in Real Property Tax Depreciation Methods?
A recent study by Big 5 firm Deloitte & Touche released this week concludes that the current investment recovery depreciation schedules of 39-years for non-residential property and 27.5-year for residential property are too slow and should be changed.The study, which is the most comprehensive depreciation study in over 20 years, shows that the economic value of property should more accurately correspond to a schedule of 20 years or fewer to properly reflect modern economic co

Excel Tip: Manipulating 3-D Worksheets
For those of you who have an interest in working with multiple spreadsheets within a single Excel file, here's a quick tip for manipulating numbers in a situation where you have several sheets of identical format, but with different numbers. Say you have 12 active sheets, with sheet 1 as the summary sheet and sheets 2-11 providing the detail, and you want to add the contents of Cell D5 from sheets 2-11 and place the sum in cell D5 of sheet 1. Step 1: Place your cellpointer in cell D5 of sheet 1 and initiate the formula by clicking the AutoSum button on the standard toolbar.

Are Digital Business Cards Worth the Effort?
The latest craze in electronic gadgetry is sure to be the electronic business card, a hand-held, smaller-size CD-ROM that can serve as a gateway to lots of different kinds of information about your firm or business.But are these cards worth producing, and are the benefits going to truly help?Like any marketing tactic, the answer sometimes is vague, but CPAs and accounting professionals will want to quantify this effort first by looking at the card's cost.

Andersen Consulting: A Frankenstein Monster?
In 1989, Andersen Consulting was spun off from Arthur Andersen as a separate company for the sole purpose of performing technology consulting. The idea was that AC would perform the consulting services for Andersen's clients, and Andersen would stick to auditing, tax, and general accounting services. Because the consulting business was seen as being more lucrative, it was agreed that AC would pay a 15% percentage of its annual revenues to Andersen.

But it was probably a lot easier for him to figure out where and how to implement his feature. I agree that lack of time and motivation is most of it. A lack of time is certainly the main thing holding me back, but if I had an idea of how all the different parts of the graphical stack fit together, then perhaps I could make some small contributions here and there.
I think it's all in master. The 600c driver can be found in src/mesa/drivers/dri/r600 and the 600g driver can be found in src/gallium/drivers/r600.
yes, master. You pretty much always want master unless there is some special topic branch you are interested in.
Sure they do. Just not a lot that's released. OpenGL 3 is pretty young. Keep in mind that your average successful commercial game goes through 2-4 years of development, if not a few more.
There's also a problem of support. If you actually want to use OpenGL 3/4, the best place to do it is on Windows. Sure, the proprietary Linux drivers support them as well, but Linux is the bottom-rung platform for games, coming in after the game consoles (which either use DirectX or platform-proprietary graphics APIs), OS X (which is also still stuck at 2.1 for now), and mobile phones (all OpenGL ES). And if you're going to be writing apps that only work on Windows, most people are going to prefer DirectX which at least classically has had more stable drivers for most hardware (due likely to being more widely used and hence more widely tested).
To be honest, as a game developer, I don't really care about Linux supporting OpenGL 4 so much as I just care about having Linux support modern graphics hardware features. If somebody wrote a quality DirectX 11 API library for Linux, I'd be just as happy to start using that. Hell, it'd probably be even more popular as a gaming platform than if it just supported OpenGL 4, due making it at least a little easier to port existing DirectX titles (granted, still be a shitload of other things to rewrite).
Although, in that line of thinking, the differing APIs are far less of an annoyance than the differing shading languages. That's what makes toolkits like Cg so attractive, but far more games just use straight HLSL (combined with a custom effects layer for composing the HLSL scripts) than use Cg. Giving Mesa an extension to parse both binary and source HLSL scripts might just be more useful than adding in OpenGL 4 support, now that I think about it. Porting the code from D3D to OGL is really quite trivial in any competently written game engine (not even lazy graphics programmers expose much D3D internals to the rest of the engine, as there's not actually anything useful from those low-level API calls that the higher-level rendering portions of the engine remotely have need for); it's the many thousands of lines of HLSL code stored mostly in the data files that can become the real bitch when doing a port. The engine may also have some HLSL-specific code for effect composition.
Why everyone crys that Mesa isn't fast enough in adapting new OpenGL Standards? Every card which supports these new Features and also has the power to use them, comes also with proprietary drivers. Ok, BSD and Solaris users aren't able to use them and some people dislike proprietary modules but for most users there is a way to use these features.
And you should also know that the difference between 3.0 and 4.0 isn't that great. H/W tesselation is the only big extra of 4.0, so if Mesa becomes OpenGL 3.0 compliant then the step to 4.0 is not soo big as the one from 2.x to 3.0.
The wonderful new features of the new versions aren't that great because OpenGL-API still lacks of useable and OpenGL 3.0 compatible debugging tools (esp. for shader-development). There is also not a reference implementation to check if your code is correct and only the graphics driver does something strange. Without that you have to develop your code for all available GPUs and under linux also for all kinds of graphics drivers as the open-source driver might implement things differently as the proprietary one does.
This is the real pain of everyday graphics development.
NVIDIA already has OpenGL 4.1 support for Linux through drivers version 256.38.02: http://developer.nvidia.com/object/opengl_driver.html -- A Fermi card is required.

Some pretty cool black and white abstract shape photos from Brandon Mike. I love the simple minimalist patterns in his photos. They make for some interesting subjects.
This is an amazing set of photos by Aleksey Marina for the Omega-Print publishing house promo-calendar 2010. Each image brings you to a strange, beautiful, and elegant place.
A girl, on a swing, over an entire city.
Luis Beltrán is a digital artist from Spain that has a way with images. He masterfully combines photos and illustrations to create memorable, surreal and thought provoking works. Each one pulls you in and forces you to create a story for it. He truly has an eye for art and storytelling. Below each image, I will give you my interpretation of it.
This one makes you wonder what that could possibly be thinking.
Is this an abandoned railroad car or is it on a journey?
There's a storm brewing up.
A path to a wonderous carnival, or an eerie circus tent.
May the darkness lead to light.
Elephants are fantastic pets.
The beginning of an epic journey, or the end of the road?
This amazing paper cut-out artwork was created by Bovey Lee.Here's his description of the work, "The foreground involves a sort of kids fight, surrounded by giant jellyfish being rushed to shore by the crashing waves. The mid-ground consists of two oil drilling platforms, collapsing, exploding, and catching on fire. The main figure is the girl on the couch who is unaware of what's about to happen and laughing away. In the back, the threatening waves are in full throttle, while elephants balance on beach balls at the edge of a wall of water."
This is a wonderful series of black and white photos of the Taj Mahal by Thamer Al-Tassan. I love how all the photos were taken from a different perspective which gives you a much deeper and in depth look at the the surroundings of the world renowned building.
A beautiful photo by Edward Weston as part of his Nude series.
Interestingly enough, while uploading this photo to Facebook, this description was automatically inserted:
"The documentary, called Eloquent Nude, which chronicles the relationship of Edward Weston and Charis Wilson is done. Charis is now 92, and she was a big part of Edward's most productive years. She is perhaps one of the most famous nudes in modern photography. Her recollections, caught on film by McCluskey -- and recreated by McCluskey -- form the heart of the film. It will premiere on March 8th at Portland Art Museum."

I am a huge fan of Michael Ostermann's digital art illustrations. Each one sucks you into a surreal alternate world. Here is how he describes his process:
"Every project is different; in both needs and approach, he usually likes to start with a good photograph, a good idea that sets the mood of the overall image. He then applies his self-made resources and uses several photo-manipulation techniques, seeing where it leads."
Check out his Blog, Portfolio, and Twitter account to keep up with his amazing work.
James Hance is an incredibly talented character artist and painter. His art features a wide range of Stars Wars, Muppets, celebrity and pop culture references.
Here's an exerpt from his website explaining his three distinct styles:"James appears to have three styles of painting, extremely expressive such as in one of a few depictions of Heath Ledger in the role of Joker, highly painterly in pieces such as his Starwars influenced tribute to the classic Hitchcock thriller North by Northwest and photorealistic "digitally enhanced" paintings such as The Gentle Sith. There are plenty of in-jokes in Hance's portfolio, and it does, from time to time, veer close to socio-cultural comment such as his hauntingly disturbing piece entitled 'Music and Me'."
James features his work at Artbreak, where you can purchase some of his amazing paintings and prints. If you enjoy his work, you can follow his art and updates on Twitter and Facebook.

"Resplendent Synagogue represents the traditional wooden synagogues of eighteenth-century Polish Jewry, and delves in magnificent detail not merely into the architecture of the structure but also into the architecture of the community and the influences on the structure by the worshipers who davened there—and the influences of the structure in turn upon the worshipers by the nature of the edifice."—The Jewish Press (New York, NY)"A pioneering work... the first detailed analysis of an East European synagogue on the background of both architectural and religious context... should appeal to a broad audience and belongs in serious collections of Jewish studies, sacred architecture and comparative studies." —Religious Studies Review
"The writing is scholarly and information is presented coherently, backed with historical documentation. A plethora of historic images, maps, intricate renderings and diagrams illustrate every aspect of the long-destroyed building, its construction and its position in the community. Where information on the Gwozdziec synagogue is lacking, such as who designed and built it, Hubka draws on the history and architecture of other synagogues in Poland so that every subject has been intelligently introduced… [Hubka] illuminates the interior of the building as seen by this person, introducing the reader not only to new surroundings but also to a different time period."—Traditional Building
"One must surely recognize the value of his work, since he has created a fundamental awareness of the social and religious functioning of these once resplendent but now lots monuments of vernacular architecture. There are very few scholars able to contribute the kind of interpretation Hbuka has providd because the task requires the combination of knowledge in Jewish liturgy, history, art, architecture, and scripture as well as an ability to work in a wide range of languages… Hubka's work has wider imiplications for many disciplines and his contribution will not fade away as research evolves." —Perspectives in Vernacular Architecture

TracWysiwyg for 0.12 broken with Chrome and Firefox 3.6
Reported by: | JoelFoner | Owned by: | jun66j5 |
Priority: | high | Component: | TracWysiwygPlugin |
Severity: | critical | Keywords: | |
Cc: | joel.foner@…, bobbysmith007 | Trac Release: | 0.12 |
Description (last modified by rjollos)
It appears that the WYSIWYG option is not set up properly for the ticket body with Chrome and Firefox 3.6.
Editing in WYSIWYG mode works reasonably in comments, but in the body of the ticket itself, there are two issues:
- styling of the radio buttons places the wysiwyg button in a place where you will often get another item rather than the radio button activation (trivially fixed by user by clicking on the "wysiwyg" text, but a bit of an irritant
- the blocker is that with these two browsers, going into wysiwyg mode disables editing of the ticket body textbox area

comment:3 Changed 4 years ago by chris.walters@…
This is happening for me in FF 3.6.13, FF 4.0b8, and Chrome running Trac 0.12.1. Creating a new ticket, the wysiwyg box is locked, and switching to the textarea radio button and back throws the following

The TicketPropsLayoutChanger just removes/compacts empty table cells and rows out of the ticket properties tables (I didnt write it, and its not super well commented, but reading through, it seems correctish and has been working till now). It also doesnt seem to affect the description box other than to remove it and re-add it to the dom. I am not sure what it is using selection for, or why the selection would be null in some browsers after affecting the dom, so i cannot speculate on if this fix is "correct", only that it seems to fix the most obvious and immediate bug.
Please let me know if you need further help with this. I believe the style bug is related to default font widths, but I think the solution probably involves float boundaries. Either way the style bug seems unrelated to T&E

I was able to fix the conflict with the Timing and Estimation plugin by making a quick edit to its whitespace_remover.js file. This of course means that if both plugins are enabled, there may be some extra whitespace in the Modify Ticket table, but at least the wysiwyg editor works.
timingandestimationplugin/htdocs/whitespace_remover.js 49c50 < $('#properties table').cleanupTable(); --- > if ($('#properties table').find('iframe.wysiwyg').length == 0) $('#properties table').cleanupTable();

Drafting Impact Running Backs Late
This article focuses on NFL running backs who are not presently being drafted as fantasy football starters in 2013, i.e. whose average draft position puts them lower than 24th at the position. But that doesn't mean they can't provide value for you on draft day, and for your fantasy football team in 2013. Here are some of my favorites to consider on draft day:
Running Backs #25 – #36

Christopher Ivory |

DeAngelo Williams |
7.1 |
36 |
Ronnie Hillman |
8.02 |
Two that stand out from this list are Shane Vereen and Andre Brown. Reports out of Patriots training camp are that Vereen is lining up all over the field, a la Darren Sproles, at RB, slot WR and outside WR. With the losses of Wes Welker, Brandon Lloyd and Aaron Hernandez, combined with the perennially dinged-up status of incumbent pass-catchers Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski, Vereen has a big opportunity to become a trusted option for Tom Brady, just like Danny Woodhead and Kevin Faulk were in past seasons. Unlike rookie Giovani Bernard from this same tier, Vereen has proven against NFL competition that he can put up big numbers on few opportunities. Caution flags include the fact that Vereen hasn't been able to play the full 16 games in either of his two seasons thus far, and also Bill Belichick's game management, which can be known to freeze out players not part of the plan.
David Wilson is being drafted four rounds earlier than Brown, but the Giants plan to split carries between the two backs, and for good reason. Wilson is considered the more explosive of the two runners, but Brown actually averaged 5.3 YPC to Wilson's 5.0 last year. The fact that Brown has two inches and 18 pounds on Wilson means he'll be the back to have his number called in goal-to-go situations. The Giants were fifth in rushing touchdowns and sixth in total points last year, so with Brown getting a bigger share of the TD pie, it's he– and not Wilson– who represents the more cost-effective option.
Running Backs #37 – #48

From this group, look for Vick Ballard and Danny Woodhead to emerge as fantasy factors ranging from reliable surprise starter to in-a-pinch plug-in. The biggest factor in favor of Ballard is the fact that he'll be sharing backfield duties with Ahmad Bradshaw, who has battled injuries his entire career and is already sidelined. Even if Bradshaw takes the lead role, Ballard should still see plenty of work. New Colts Offensive Coordinator Pep Hamilton called plays at Stanford during Andrew Luck's tenure, and ran a decisively run-heavy offense, not once passing more often than running in the three seasons Luck started. Even if Hamilton throws more by virtue of the NFL being a passing league, the Colts should still be more run-oriented than they were last year, when they ran 440 times. Since Bradshaw was only able to tote the rock for an average of 215 carries over the last four seasons, Ballard still has 200+ carry upside, putting him in position to match, if not exceed, his RB25 ranking from last season.
Woodhead should warrant consideration not only because Ryan Mathews has done little to inspire owners in his three NFL seasons, but also because he's taken the reigns of the pass-catching duties after impressing San Diego's new coaching staff. Woodhead has finished in the top 25 at his position two out of the last three years, by posting 700-900 yards from scrimmage and about a half-dozen total touchdowns. While those numbers were posted as a member of the prolific New England offense, his move to San Diego shouldn't cause too much concern. The last time Philip Rivers had a back with Woodhead's skillset, Darren Sproles put up numbers in San Diego that matched what Woodhead did in his time with the Patriots. In other words, a Philip Rivers-led offense (and frankly, most offenses in today's NFL) can support a fantasy-reliable third-down and pass-catching back.

At this stage of the draft, the best strategy is usually to bet on talent and hope that the opportunity lottery ticket will pay off for the player in question. Unfortunately this season, the talent among the pool of backs listed above leaves a lot to be desired. Alternatively, the backs whose talent is not in question are instead trying to bounce back from devastating injuries. Surprisingly, that leaves two bruisers as backs that jump out as having a chance to contribute to fantasy rosters this season.
Jonathan Dwyer hasn't exactly been explosive in his time in the NFL, but last year, despite leading the Steelers in attempts, he outperformed all other Pittsburgh running backs in yards per carry as the only one to top 4.0. The Steelers drafted Le'Veon Bell in the second round this Spring, and hope he earns the starting gig, but Dwyer isn't going out without a fight. He shed 30 lbs. this offseason in an attempt to compete for his job, showing that he believes in his talent and is willing to do what it takes to keep the rookie at bay. Bell has some question marks surrounding him too, touching the ball over 400 times in his junior season at Michigan State. That kind of wear and tear usually portends an underwhelming season in the following year. Furthermore, Big Ten running backs have a reputation for disappointing upon graduating to the NFL, from Laurence Maroney to Beanie Wells.
Update: Bell unfortunately came down with a right foot injury, and is expected to miss up to six weeks with a small ligament tear. He should be downgraded in fantasy football drafts to a mid-to-late round pick, but still has the upside to contribute when healthy this year.
The last name in this article is truly stunning, as he's deservedly been ripped over the years as an underwhelming plodder on a bad offense. However, Shonn Greene, believe it or not, has an actual chance to make an impact on fantasy teams this season. Given about 250 carries in each of the last two seasons, Greene finished in the top 20 at his position. He likely won't get that many this year, but should Tennessee go back to the thunder-and-lighting approach it once had with LenDale White spelling Chris Johnson, Greene could approach the 200+ carries that White accrued under that framework, when he finished in the top 20 himself. Even performing half that well would mean Greene outperforms his ADP by about eight rounds.

I have received my double rifle about a month ago from the shippers.I have around 200 old orriginal Kynoch ammo with it.I got a 450\400 three and a quater NE in the old english C.Lancaster.Barrels are 28 inches. Now it will become 1 off my working guns on elephant,lion,and buffalo back up guns.With the old Kynoch ammo i have done some penetration tests on buffalo and elephant in Zimbabwe on our last hunt.It is very amazing to see how the bullets off yesteryear was constructed.On the frontal brainshots on a elephant the solids totaly broked up,same on buffalo when it hit the spine,it allso broked up. This makes me feel very uncomfortable to use those old rounds. Here in RSA i can get new solid ammo for the calibre,which i intend to use in future,like GS custom and Dzombo mono metal. Now for my problem!I have a brand new RCBS reloading die set to reload with,but brass is a big problem.I dont want to use the old cases as they are very un reliable,they have cases seperation at the bases after shooting the old Kynoch ammo.I need to order 200 new cases from somewhere. Do anybody perhaps know which companies do manufactor the calibre and from where i can order such.We have to rifles in this calibre which we want to start reloading for. Then have any one have used solid monometal in there rifles.I am looking at the dzombo monometal brass which is desighned with thinner rifling bands to work in the old doubles.my friend Bjinse Visser are manufacturing these dzombo solids and they are easy to get from him. Any help and experience wil be welcome,i would really like to make this a workable rifle on elephant and buffalo again without damaging the barrels in future.This is a collectors pieace as well.
Try Stewart's Gunsmithing in Polokawane.They made brass for my 10.75 x 68. The nr is just very old 0152-2899401.
G'day from Downunder. Try Bertram Bullet Co, over here in Australia. He makes the brass you want. Google, "ammo dump". It should bring up his website. If you have trouble send me a personal email and I'll you get you in touch with him. His brass is expensive, but you won't have any trouble with the shells, and they are all head stamped nicely.
Thanks guys.I have already tried Ken Stewart here is RSA,dont have time to make and suggested i try importing them.I will try Bertram as well.I will allso look at Hornady. thanks in advance.
Check out Huntingtons RCBS reloading dies, reloaders equipment bullets cases and supplies for handloading | Huntington Die Specialties, or Grafs Graf & Sons - The Reloading Authority - Your Source for Shooting Supplies.
Mike. I was in contact with them last week,i will see iff i can get some from them.thanks for the effort.
Finally got 60 new Hornady cases from safari and outdoor.allso had Bjinse Visser customs made some solid brass for the rifle! Now i need some reloading specs for the 450\400.i will be using Sonchem powders and local RSA components.Anybody that could help.

Lady Gaga, NBA Stars' Names Forged on Contract, Lawsuit Claims
Taiwanese promoters probably couldn't believe their luck when a Houston businessman sent them signed contracts promising appearances by Lady Gaga and NBA stars Shannon Brown, Nick Young, Carl Landry and Will Bynum (okay, maybe they're only "stars" in Taiwan). The promoters gladly paid Ron Siegel and his company, Golden Hoops, $318,000.Lady Gaga never showed, lawsuit says
They later found out the contracts had been forged, a civil lawsuit in federal court here says.
"Siegel unconditionally agreed to return all such monies on multiple occasions both verbal and in writing," the lawsuit says. "Despite these repeated promises, Siegel has not returned any of these funds."
The promoters, Bros Sports Marketing, had agreed to pay $950,000 for two concerts by Lady Gaga, "whose current Moster Ball tour is one of the most successful concert tours worldwide," the suit says.
They also agreed to pay $350,00 to have the NBA players participate in a "Slam Fest," whatever the hell that is.
There was also an agreement to pay Siegel $25,000 to put on four "Slam Ball" games, which are described as basketball played on trampolines.
The plaintiffs want their money back. Siegel has not responded to the suit.

Congestive heart failure secondary to cerebral arterio-venous fistula. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 3308085 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Arteriovenous fistula is a relatively rare cause of severe congestive heart failure in the newborn. An intracranial arteriovenous malformation associated with an aneurysm of the great vein of Galen is the most frequent of such malformations and, although well known, it remains a difficult diagnosis in the neonate because the clinical picture first presents with findings suggesting cardiac disease. The newborn with a vein of Galen aneurysm has volume and pressure overload on his myocardium; cyanosis is often present due to persistent fetal circulation; peripheral pulses are generally decreased in amplitude except in those arteries near the fistula where they are bounding, as an expression of a hyperdynamic status. A continuous murmur may be heard over the scalp, but this highly suggestive sign is often not present. The majority of newborns with intracranial arteriovenous fistula die very soon. Unfortunately, most of these infants are at first considered to have congenital heart disease and are, therefore, subjected to cardiac catheterization and angiography, with their well-known risks, before a correct diagnosis is made. Cross-sectional echocardiography, by demonstrating normal intracardiac anatomy, eliminates the need for an invasive investigation in a very sick neonate. Ultrasonography of the head will then provide a rapid and accurate demonstration of the aneurysm of vein of Galen. Cerebral angiography will complete the diagnosis in those cases in which a neurosurgical intervention is contemplated. |

Requesting Modifications in SB 48 (College Textbooks: Electronic Versions)
AS-2921-09/FGA (Rev) ATTACHMENT 1 TO AS-2921-09/FGA (Rev) ATTACHMENT 2 TO AS-2921-09/FGA (Rev) ATTACHMENT 3 TO AS-2921-09/FGA (Rev)
RESOLVED: That the Academic Senate of the California State University (ASCSU) commend Senator Alquist for her authoring of SB 48; and be it further
RESOLVED: That the ASCSU request Senator Alquist to consider introducing additional legislation that would specify that the electronic version of the textbook provided by publishers as required by SB 48 be compatible with commonly used Braille translation, screen reading software, and other ADA compliant forms; and be it further
RESOLVED: That the ASCSU request Senator Alquist to consider introducing additional legislation that would modify SB 48 so that its provisions take effect no later than January 1, 2015; and be it further RESOLVED: That this resolution be sent to Senator Alquist, the Chancellor and the Board of Trustees, campus Presidents, campus Senate Chairs, and the Association of American Publishers, and American Association of University Professors.
RATIONALE: RATIONALE: The ASCSU is grateful to Senator Alquist for authoring SB 48. We note that the ASCSU has passed a number of resolutions dealing with textbook accessibility and affordability. In 2006, the ASCSU passed AS-2730-06/AA. This resolution called on publishers to provide e-text versions of course materials at the time such materials are adopted "in a format that is compatible with Braille production, screen reading software, and other ADA compliant forms." While existing legislation requires publishers to make this material available upon request, delays in getting the material prepared can seriously disadvantage students who need such materials at the start of the academic term. While SB 48 specifies that publishers provide text materials in electronic format, there are electronic formats which do not support Braille translation or screen reading software or other ADA compliant forms. Also in 2006 the ASCSU passed AS-2747-06/FA. This resolution encouraged faculty to select "course materials that minimize cost to students". As pointed out in the Report of the CSU Affordability Taskforce (see http://www.calstate.edu/AcadSen/Records/Reports/Textbook_Affordability_Taskforce_report.pdf), electronic versions of textbooks have the capability to reduce student costs. The ASCSU supports an earlier implementation date for the requirments of SB 48 instead of the present deadline of 2020. We believe that, from a technical perspective, publishers should be able to comply with this law within the next five years.
Approved – January 21-22, 2010

Product description
The Angry Young Men movement, featuring such stars as Kingsley Amis, is perfectly illustrated through the iconic figure of Joe Lampton. The ruthlessly ambitious Joe Lampton rises swiftly from the petty bureaucracy of local government into the unfamiliar world of inherited wealth, fast cars and glamorous women. But the price of success is high, and betrayal and tragedy strike as Joe pursues his goals.

Author information
John Gerard Braine (April 13, 1922 - October 28, 1986) was an English novelist. Born in Bradford, Yorkshire, Braine left St. Bede's Grammar School at sixteen and worked in a shop, a laboratory and a factory before becoming, after the war, a librarian. Although he wrote twelve works of fiction, Braine is chiefly remembered today for his first novel, Room at the Top (1957), which was also turned into a successful film (1959). Braine is usually associated with the Angry Young Men movement.
Review quote
"A harsh, accurate, powerful piece of story-telling" Tribune "Remarkable... Room at the Top communicates so successfully the mingled bitterness and bravery of youth" Sunday Times "He has real talent" -- C.P. Snow "This novel is brilliant...The observation is shrewd and the emotion and the comedy are so true it hurts." Daily Express

These people are not "settlers" they are squatters. "settler" implies a legality that is not present in the occupied territories. The thievery that is going on in the West Bank should not be treated by the press as a moral correction by the chosen over the unchosen.

Video games increasingly targeted at girl gamers
Sep 23, 2010 (McClatchy-Tribune News Service - McClatchy-Tribune News Service via COMTEX) -- It's typical to assume that most of the people in the world who play video games are male.
However, the truth is that roughly 40 percent of video game players in the world are female. In a fast-paced changing technological environment, the market for female-oriented video games is growing.
According to the Entertainment Software Association, "women over the age of 18 represent a significantly greater portion of the game-playing population (33 percent) than boys 17 or younger (20 percent)." That may seem startling.
Story continues below ↓
While the days of shelf after shelf of first-person shooter games, role-playing games and games where the entire purpose is to steal a car, are not by any means gone, a new era has dawned; it is one where games for popular female icons are relevant.
Nancy Drew's mystery video games that Her Interactive produces are one example of these games. Megan Gaiser, CEO of Her Interactive, said while she knew nothing about video games when she first joined the company, she learned that it was about storytelling and making it into a game. In the Nancy Drew videogame series, players can interrogate suspects, navigate environments and have interactions with characters, all of which lead to ultimately solving the mystery.
Her Interactive is a pioneer company in the female video game industry, and Gaiser said the rapid growth of a female audience for video games came about because of the changing technology to more accessible game arenas like the Wii and Facebook. Therefore, the industry has attracted a larger audience.
In addition, Gaiser said gaming has "infiltrated" society; businesses now look to incorporate game products in their products and interactivity is popular in school and government work.
"Now, everyone's playing games!" Gaiser said. "And everyone's also going after the female market." Despite this widespread popularity, Gaiser said video games are still in their early stages; companies are still segmenting the market to address different preferences. Gaiser said it was dangerous to "pigeonhole" or stereotype what kinds of games girls like to play.
"It's like saying all boys like island games," Gaiser said. "Some do, but I think that's dangerous. It's a limited way of thinking." This past June, Her Interactive released "Nancy Drew 22: Trail of the Twister" and the remastered version of the first game in the popular Nancy Drew video game series, "Secrets Can Kill." The series' games take characters to new locations around the world, seeing different cultures and mixing fact and fiction. The games have been very successful among girls ages 10 to 15.
Gaiser said she believes Her Interactive has found success because of the teamwork and quality that goes into making each game.
"Everyone feels comfortable spelling out their ideas," Gaiser said. "We really did a good job of creating both a great game and also one that preserves the integrity of the Nancy Drew brand. The combination of those two made it successful." Likewise, Her Interactive's success owes itself in part to a dedicated fan base.
"When you first say Nancy Drew to most women, they'll bow down out of respect for her," Gaiser said. "The moms start buying the games for their daughters; they got hooked, and now give them to their girls. Now we have girls from 8 to 88." This is Her Interactive's 23rd game, and Gaiser said the Nancy Drew video game series is the longest running and most popular mystery series to date.
Nancy Drew is a name familiar in most households, because as Gaiser said, "she always wins" at the end of the story. Whether she's solving mysteries or being a regular teenage girl, Gaiser said she has inspired women to pursue their dreams and be the best they can be.
Gaiser said she herself was drawn to the video game industry, in particular in the idea of creating products for a female audience, because she was struck by the obvious lack in the area, as well as the prejudice in the field.
Gaiser had a career in the film business and was editing a documentary about political correctness on university campuses when producers filmed reenactments that made the women appear like delinquents, and not as professional as the male characters in the reenactment.
"They had the women spray paint their hair purple," Gaiser said. "I had to stick to wide shots as an editor to give an objective point of view." Gaiser hoped that through a nonlinear and multimedia venue, she could "broaden people's perspectives as to what women are, as opposed to looking through a stereotypical lens," Gaiser said.
Gaiser joined Her Interactive and began work on the Nancy Drew video game series, but after failure to sell the videogame to distributors, Gaiser said they went to the "back door" and sold the videogame on Amazon. The game sold well and Her Interactive received the attention of mainstream media like the New York Times.
Another unique marketing decision was made to avoid pink packaging.
"We believe in not just the stereotype but in creating as many preferences as there are women," Gaiser said. "So we decided to make it un-pink. It's not a girly-girly game, but they still came." Barbie is another example of a female icon in the video game market; after years as a classic "girl's toy," Barbie has emerged from the pink box and gone digital. While she is still decidedly pink, her video games are popular among young girls.
Perhaps more important than the mere existence of a market for female video game players though, is the fact that girls are no longer boxed into playing only Barbie-type video games. Increasingly, girls are engaging in games that were formerly assumed to be only for boys, like car racing, music and even shooter games.
Gaiser said Her Interactive intends to continue working with young women, in the hopes that these games will instill a sense of empowerment in its audience.

Johan and Marianne are married and seem to have it all. Their happiness, however, is a façade for a troubled relationship, which becomes even rockier when Johan admits that he's having an affair. Before long, the spouses separate and move towards finalizing their divorce, but they make attempts at reconciling. Even as they pursue other relationships, Johan and Marianne realize that they have a significant bond, but also many issues that hinder that connection.

I spent this past weekend at Pickathon roots music fest outside Portland and although the idea of camping in the woods among 2,000 hippies may sound like a horrible time, it was actually fantastic.
This Friday's mixtape is a somewhat eclectic mix of folk and dreamy rock that all flows together for good summer front-porch listenting. All of the bands on the mixtape include women and will be performing this weekend at Portland's Pickathon roots music festival. Enjoy!

Summer music is all about the festivals, but it can be hard to catch female artists at any of the major fests. Only 10 percent of acts at Coachella this year, for example, were women-fronted bands.
Now that Lilith Fair is done toting five-dollar lattes in the name of commercialized feminism, and MichFest is busy denying claims of discrimination, this summer is the chance to get to know lesser-known feminist music festivals that are thriving across the country.
It's old news that Robin Thicke's music video for "Blurred Lines" is straight-up gross. In the video, near-naked, sometimes-unresponsive women drape themselves around a group of fully dressed male artists who spend four and a half minutes trying to make a "good girl" go bad. But now, he's not just deflecting criticism of his music's flagrant objectification—as we might expect—he's announced that the "Blurred Lines" video is actually the forefront of a new feminist movement!
Portland nerd-rock band The Doubleclicks have a cute new music video that counters the "Fake Geek Girls" meme. The video for the song "Nothing to Prove" features women from all over the country (and a couple fellows like Wil Wheaton) holding up signs explaining how and why they're geeks.
Top 40 music seems to be undergoing a sea change lately. Cher has a feminist song on the radio and in the club. Neko Case is Top 40 music seems to be undergoing a sea change lately. Cher has a feminist song on the radio and in the club. Neko Case is taking gender identity straight to task. Frank Ocean and Macklemore are topping the charts with songs that carve space for queer-friendly voices in the machismo-drenched worlds of R&B and hip-hop. Ann Powers at NPR declared 2013 "Country Music's Year of the Woman," and Jewly Hight at the Nashville Scene pointed out a similar trend last year, of female artists whose sounds still fit the country genre, but whose lyrics and personae push the boundaries of country femininity.
All of this points to something big: It's been a good year for not only women in music, but feminism in music.
"Hey, uh, do you have chickfactor?"
I walked into Other Music in New York's East Village, and asked the bearded, plaid-ed clerk, hoping he had the iconic music zine's 17th print edition in stock.
His Beardedness pointed me to a shelf with several other too-cool-for-school publications, and there it was: in all of its horizontal, blue, Grass Widow-covered glory, "legendary indie nerd bible" chickfactor.
What many people think of as quintessentially patriotic songs are by male musicians (like Toby Keith, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson) so we've compiled a mix to celebrate both the Fourth of July and the oh-so-talented female musicians who also have a thing or two to say about the U.S. of A.

It's been a long week. I know I'm going to be spending Friday afternoon sitting on my front porch, drinking iced tea and blasting some summer jams.
That's exactly why I put together this playlist for y'all of my new favorite summer jams. Most of the songs are new to 2013 and most of the artists are women, but there are a couple awesome dudes and older tunes on there, too. ENJOY!
Playlist is below the jump!
The history of electronic music arguably starts with the patenting of the theremin in 1928, and Clara Rockmore was there from its inception to champion the instrument as both an important technological and artistic advancement. This mix highlights the brilliant, creative women who make (and made) electronic music and their innovations in techniques, programs, and tools to make new sounds possible. Best with headphones.
