Between Shanghai and Hong Kong: The Politics of Chinese Cinemas/Framing Piracy: Globalization and Film Distribution in Greater China
Rosen, Stanley, The China Journal
Between Shanghai and Hong Kong: The Politics of Chinese Cinemas, by Poshek Fu. Palo Alto: Stanford University Press, 2003. xviii + 202 pp. US$49.50 (hardcover), US$19.95 (paperback).
Framing Piracy: Globalization and Film Distribution in Greater China, by Shujen Wang. Lanham: Rowman & Littlefield, 2003. xviii + 235 pp. US$75.00 (hardcover), US$32.95 (paperback).
Film studies as a legitimate academic enterprise has greatly expanded in recent years. Moving out of the familiar enclave of film schools, courses are now offered in many of the disciplines in the humanities and social sciences (of the two authors under review, Poshek Fu is an historian and Shujen Wang is housed in a department of visual and media arts). However, much of the teaching and research, particularly in the humanities, has concentrated on textual analysis, aesthetic appreciation and the multiple ways to "read" a film.
The two books under consideration, by contrast, are concerned primarily with film markets, including production, distribution and exhibition. Fu's book ends in 1950, while Wang's is about the present. But even though they cover different historical periods and address different research questions, they are linked by their focus on border crossings, viewing Chinese cinema as plural and interactive. Thus, to some degree, both books examine the relationship between a mainland Chinese "center" and a Chinese cultural "periphery" (namely, Hong Kong and Taiwan). Indeed, for Fu, even wartime Shanghai, with its "westernized lifestyle, semicolonial status, and bohemian, radical intellectual culture" (p. 69), was seen as the "other China", in contradistinction to the more "authentic" Chinese-ruled interior (p. 50). On the other hand, when Shanghai intellectuals went to Hong Kong they transformed themselves into "the 'Chinese'", viewing Hong Kong natives as the "'slavish' other" (p. 69). This transcultural, even transnational, approach has become a common theme in recent works on Chinese cinema, such as those by Sheldon Lu and Zhang Yingjin, among others.
Both authors have been imaginatively painstaking, impressively tracking down relevant sources and using diverse methodologies. While Wang combines library and archival research with extensive interviews with practitioners and observations from the field throughout Greater China, Fu has unearthed rare films and documentary sources long thought lost. His book reads like a compelling detective story as he ferrets out information from a wide range of Chinese- and Japanese-language materials (for example, plot summaries, synopses and advertisements). In what is clearly a labor of love, he seeks to rewrite the colonial past and "'restory' the people and culture of Hong Kong" (p. 91). This is all the more valuable since, as he notes, the prevailing attitude among most Chinese film scholars has been to treat these lost films as no great loss at all.
Fu's book sets out a series of challenges to some of the central themes and approaches taken by film scholars, cultural theorists, literary critics and historians over the past decade. In addition to his rejection of a monolithic "Chinese cinema"-embracing instead the different Chinese cinemas that have historically been made in different languages (or dialects) at different geopolitical locations-he also challenges what he considers the stereotypes and sweeping generalizations that have simplified the complex history of twentieth-century China. This includes the blanket condemnation of all films made in China under Japanese occupation as either escapist or pro-Japanese propaganda, perpetuated by traitors, as well as the blanket dismissal-both from mainland and Western film scholars-of pre-1997 Hong Kong as a cultural desert in which cultural production, especially dialect films, had no meaning other than the generation of quick profits, and are therefore unworthy of serious study or analysis. Finally, Fu is concerned with the politics of representation. …

Alas, this pleasure soon faded as I realized the kids showed wit and intelligence. Too many bloggernacle folk, on the other hand, only demonstrate venom and vitriol. I have two simple suggestions:
1. Someone should print up a tee shirt to replace the old standby, "Church basketball: the brawl that begins with a prayer." The new shirt should read, "The bloggernacle: where uplifting religious discussion meets sanctimonious incivility." At least someone might make some money out of it.
2. Possibly we should have a little acronym between where we type our response and "Add my comment." That series of letters would be ITWJCWWMTS. The ten characters would stand for "Is This What Jesus Christ Would Want Me To Say."]]>
If so, this will come as a welcome relief to my inability to construct a decent household budget.]]>

THE development of modern welfare economics has been punctuated by a series of methodological controversies, the highly suggestive term "welfare", with its ethical overtones, adding fuel to the fire. The Classical economists took it for granted that the Art of Political Economy was their legitimate sphere and exercised it without any self-consciousness. However, with the Marginal Revolution and the rise of Continental schools of thought scrupulous about methodological purity, a distinction was drawn between the old broader concept of Political Economy and the new narrower concept of Economics as a pure science. It was then argued that scientific economics should restrict itself to the positive cause and effect analysis of Price economics and that Welfare economics was unscientific as it involved interpersonal comparisons of utility and normative value judgments.
In Part II we have shown how interpersonal comparisons of utility can be avoided by the Paretian formulation of the Optimum and the principle of Compensation. We have also pointed out that welfare analysis need not involve any normative value judgments so long as we take the wants of the individuals to be given and constant and confine our study to the purely mechanical efficiency of the economic system in satisfying these given wants. At this pure subjective level of analysis our propositions are logically as stringent as those of price economics. But, since we stop short at this neutral concept of mechanical efficiency, we are still on an intermediate plane of discourse and although our propositions deal with quantities of satisfaction they are in some ways still as inconclusive as those at the physical level as a guide to practical action. Thus when we have demonstrated that a particular pattern of allocating the resources satisfies the given wants better than others, this does not amount to a categorical imperative that this pattern ought to be adopted. To obtain that we need a further premise, viz. that these given wants are of the same ethical quality of

- Reviews
5 Item(s)
Likes: Always a good product for a really comfortable chair conversion for the Thermarest where weight is an issue..
Dislikes: However, this model did not have the webbing on the top end of the back support. I found this feature better on the older models that I have used.
Likes: Nice to have a comfy chair with a back in camp.
Dislikes: A slight challenge to manipulate the sleeping pad into it and it gives the impression that it will damage the pad, but it doesn't seem to yet.
Likes: It's light. It's not difficult to set up.
Dislikes: Didn't work all that well with my ultralight as that pad is not rectangular. As I was using it with a sleep system which has multiple pieces to its set up, it was a bit annoying to go through that break down and set up additional times. If you don't need to save the weight, I'd just use a traditional camp chair.
Likes: works great, sitting on rocks/logs gets very old, very fast. Highly recommend
Dislikes: nada
Likes: Very easy set up, perfect cylindrical shape for strapping into the side of your back (if backpacking) Light weight and a much needed comfortable place to rest after a long hike!
Dislikes: Little suprised not to see a weight limit, I was a little timid at first putting much weight leaning back since only a plastic buckle on each side supports your weight, but so far its held up nicely.

McCain 'nukes the fridge': Now he believes that doing nothing can lower oil prices
How far we have come from the principled maverick of the 2000 campaign:
Republican John McCain on Wednesday credited the recent $10-a-barrel drop in the price of oil to President Bush's lifting of a presidential ban on offshore drilling.
That's right, the man who wants to be the next President of the United States believes that doing absolutely nothing — which is what Bush did when he reversed his father's ban, since the congressional ban is still in place — dropped oil prices $10.
You know you have
jumped the shark nuked the fridge (see below) as a candidate when even the White House paid shill press secretary won't go that far:
The White House didn't go that far. Presidential spokeswoman Dana Perino said the price drop also could reflect diminished demand.
"I don't know if we fully deserve the credit," Perino said.
Considering that after Congress opened up most of the Gulf of Mexico to drilling in 2006, oil prices doubled in two years (see "Offshore drilling raises oil prices*"), how could not opening up the rest of the outercontinental shelf (which in any case has under half the oil of the Gulf) possibly drop oil prices?
Perhaps this is what Senator McCain meant when he said that:
Even though it may take some years, the fact that we are exploiting those reserves would have a psychological impact that I think is beneficial.
Apparently even thinking about exploiting those reserves has a psychological impact on energy traders. The Sierra Club describes this theory as "Jedi Mind Tricks."
Previously, I would have said that McCain had jumped the shark to denote the point "at which the characters or plot veer into a ridiculous, out-of-the-ordinary storyline." But that term that dates back to a 1977 episode of Happy Days. And while a very old cultural reference certainly suits McCain, I try hard to keep this blog at the bleeding edge. Now the term of art is "Nuke the fridge," which is
A colloquialism used to delineate the precise moment at which a cinematic franchise has crossed over from remote plausibility to self parodying absurdity, usually indicating a low point in the series from which it is unlikely to recover. A reference to one of the opening scenes of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, in which the titular hero manages to avoid death by nuclear explosion by hiding inside a kitchen refrigerator. The film is widely recognised by fans as a major departure from the rest of the series both in terms of content and quality.
McCain is certainly a very long-running franchise, diminishing in both content and quality. I think "self parodying absurdity" describes his energy positions. And, of course, he is a huge fan of nuclear power (see "McCain says no to Boxer-L-W without giga-subsidies for nukes" and "McCain calls for 700+ new nuclear plants (and seven Yucca mountains) costing $4 trillion").
So, nuke the fridge it is [notwithstanding the fact that I actually thought the recent Indiana Jones movie was okay].

oh oh… looks like the price of oil is going to drop even more…
The McCain/Republican message on energy – let's go wholeheartedly to 21st Century technologies and efficiencies while maintaining economic viability during the transition period.
The drop in the futures contract price that can be credited to the Bush policy shift is now closer to $20. There's a chart out that shows that the sharp increase in gas prices coincides with the January 2007 Democratic takeover of the House. Could be a good time to explore the differences between coincidence, correlation and causation.
You thought Crystal Skull was okay?
I'm unsubscribing from your RSS feed and getting my energy news from Inhofe's office from now on…
PS: Bjorn Lomborg and RP Jr. are saying some interesting, if not particularly grounded in reality, things about Jim Hansen.
Of course the price drop is just a happy coincidence, the kind that often propels successful campaigns. One concrete reason for the lower futures price is this week's strengthening of the dollars vs the euro. Oddly enough, last week Bush voiced his support for a strong dollar policy. Again, is it coincidence or the result of brilliant strategy? (If I knew how to insert one of those smiley face emoticons, I'd put one here.)
I thought that the timing of Pres. Bush was interesting. The adminstration would have known ahead of time whether the government report to come out would show lower or higher supplies of oil from previous levels. Just make the announcement that you are dropping the executive order about the ban of some offshore oil drilling and the if the oil prices drop because of the oil supplies report, you can attribute it to your annoucement. I'm thinking that's pretty much what happened.
should have had this in my post, but the executive announcement on offshore drilling was right before the announcement of higher than normal oil supplies.
Unfortunately, it's not a joke. I just heard the same argument on the floor. A Republican congressman repeated the idea that it was President Bush who lowered prices recently, not the fact that inventory levels are higher than expected due to lowering demand (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/24/business/24stox.html?_r=1&ref=business&oref=slogin).
Nick Kong.
It's not an argument. It's a slogan. The argument is that we must maintain economic viability during the transition to 21st Century energy which is already underway and will certainly be more than 80% complete by 2040.
It is good the price of petrol has gone down muchly in the last two weeks

2006 had its share of controversial games, including Border Patrol and Left Behind: Eternal Forces.
Border Patrol, which depicted racist violence against Mexican immigrants, was a non-industry, online game. Its creators are unknown and it was freely distributed.
Left Behind, on the other hand, is a commercial product and has both its fans and detractors. Critics claim that the game encourages violence against non-Christians.
New legislation proposed by a legislator in New York State might affect those and similar games, if passed. Rep. Keith Wright (D, seen at left) recently introduced A00547, a bill which would block sales to minors of games which depict, advocate or glamorize:
- commission of a violent crime
- suicide
- sexual violence
- violent racism
- religious violence
- illegal use of drugs & alcohol
Rep. Wright's bill also calls for the equivalent of an "adults only" section for such games. Retailers would be required to check I.D. for buyers who appear to be 30 or under. The bill has been referred to the Assembly's Committee on Consumer Affairs and Protection.
GP: While the proposed legislation would impact games sold at retail, it won't affect the likes of Border Patrol due to that game's non-commercial, online distribution.

Comic-book series Kick-Ass aims for more realistic superhero
Comic book writer Mark Millar sees the second film based on one of his comic-book series hit the big screen this weekend with "Kick-Ass," a film partially inspired by the "real-life superheroes" trend, in which everyday people dress as superheroes and patrol the streets of their towns.
"Wanted," the first film based on a Millar comic book, was released in 2008.
The new film stars Aaron Johnson as Dave Lizewski, an everyday high school student who decides to become a superhero without any powers or special abilities.
The comic book series on which the film is based was drawn by John Romita Jr. ("Daredevil") and was published by Marvel's Icon imprint, for creator-owned comics.
"This isn't a fictional Gotham or Opal City or whatever. He isn't up against any kind of animal-themed super-villain and there's no robots or mutants or aliens," Millar said in a 2007 interview with the Web site Newsarama. "This is a normal person in the real world putting on a mask and getting into trouble. As unbelievably simple as that sounds, I don't think that's ever been done before."
The complete Icon series has been collected in a hardcover edition that retails for $24.99. The comic book series and collection are suggested for mature audiences.
Fans who want to dig further into the creation of the project can check out the Titan Books behind-the-scenes book "Kick-Ass: Creating the Comic, Making the Movie," which features interviews with Millar, Romita Jr., film director Matthew Vaughn and others behind the comic book and movie.
"'Kick-Ass' is my love letter to superhero comics," Millar says in the behind-the-scenes book. "And I've taken little parts of my own life and the lives of friends and shoved it all in there to make the characters as real as possible."
Screenplay writer Jane Goldman said in the book about the film that it was important to make Dave not a comedy nerd, but a normal, relatable kid.
"We wanted to take that more modern attitude that he's not a loser, he's just a normal kid," Goldman said. "He loves comics, and, as I think we all do at that age, longs for adventure. But he doesn't always think the consequences through."
The film also stars Christopher Mintz-Plasse ("Superbad"), Nicolas Cage ("Leaving Las Vegas") and Chloe Moretz ("[500] Days of Summer").

@JakeTapper spins Trump-McCain spat to hurt GOP
The big news over the weekend, or at least the most volatile and inflammable news, was the spat between Arizona and presidential hopeful Donald Trump. Trump bearded McCain (and I don't mean this is a homosexual sense) in his own state over McCain's atrocious immigration stand. McCain called Trump's supporters "crazies" and by extension, I suppose, implied that it took a crazy to rile them | Read More »

For many years, $10million invested in SAFE interest bearing instruments would earn about $400k/year. Not too shabby.
Now you earn about $24k per year, with the current policies. So you have to burn your capital also.
Things fall apart.
We saw this coming. While we have very healthy 401K balances and had always saved the max, and still do, we bought single family homes at rock bottom and rent them out $1500 per month.
A 60K house off a short sale returns $13,000 in gross yearly revenue. That's around 20% return on my money vs a quarter of a point in the bank? I've bought six of them. All in my neighborhood and one next door. If Ted Kennedy can have a compound, so can I.

OKC sets public hearing Aug. 26 on Uber, Lyft regulations
The city council has set a public hearing for Aug. 26 on regulations for Uber and Lyft, the trend-setting services that use smartphone apps to connect people needing rides with drivers.
Operators of traditional taxi and limousine services complain Uber and Lyft are ignoring stringent and expensive licensing and safety inspection requirements.
The proposed rules would classify San Francisco-based Uber and Lyft as "transportation network companies" and require them to get a city business license.
Insurance requirements would be set, and drivers would have to get a permit and have their cars inspected.
A spokeswoman for Lyft said last week that the regulations would erect "barriers" for individuals looking to drive for the company as a way to earn extra cash.
The proposal also would update some of the rules for taxis, limousines and carriages.
Plans call for the city council to vote on the new regulations on Sept. 9, nearly a year after Uber first introduced its uberX service in Oklahoma City.

3T TTT stem
I just bought this. I don't care about what the price is too much, because it is what I needed and not unreasonable to me (a 26mm quill). What does everyone think, good deal?

If you don't care, why ask? Seems like an OK price to me.

Why do you think it was too much?
Amy, I'll always remember you...... I miss you so much, for you filled my days with so much joy.
I didn't get all what i wanted to get in there. Point moreso was, I don't know too much aobut TTT stems. I know the fancy ones seem to be pretty respected, but are there more basic looking ones reputable? Gets the job done, I assume. It is cheaper then any new 26mm ones I can seem to find, while the 25.4 are a dime a dozen.
fair price for a nice stem.
Pass the Dutchie on the non-drive side.
Everything in life is about bikes. Except bikes, bikes are about power.
Good price for a very nice, clean looking 3TTT (design and condition). Doesn't look like a "death stem" design either, so you should not worry using it.
Can't go wrong with that one! Have you priced other Italian stem lately, like plain/vanilla Cinelli 1As are going for such high prices these days (over a hundred bucks easy for NOS) while the 3TTT stems a re a bargain in comparison. ITM and 3TTT stems were both good enough that many famous Italian bicycle marques from the 80's used them to supplyr their pantographed stems for their fanciest bikes.
Considering it has the rubber shim thingy and the bolt cap I'd say thats a very fair price.
I was just thinking this too. After $5 shipping I still paid more yesterday for a round of beers at the Baseball game! (I don't normally buy beer at the game, but it was the least I could do for free tickets that had a $77 face value.
I've been looking for that exact stem to replace a shorter version of same. You paid far less than I've seen them going for. Good deal.

Less expensive and more fun?
The real trick is to have some drinks beforehand. editt *at a nearby bar, not before you drive out!*
Good deal or not, without knowing how much shipping added to the OP's cost, it is impossible to know if the deal was good or not. Twenty plus dollars for a nice TTT stem is not at all unreasonable, but if it cost $25.00 to get it from the seller to the buyer, my answer would be a bit different. Also...
If that is the exact steering stem the OP wanted, then most prices would be justified. If, however, he or she just wanted a steering stem, then my guess is one could have been found or considerably less.
I sell standard stems for ten bucks, locally. But if you want me to go to the trouble of answering emails, posting pictures on Ebay, packing and then shipping the item, be prepared to cover my handling costs.
This might sound commercial to some people, but my time is precious to me. And it takes time to do all of the above, not to mention finding the steering stem, in the first place.

Egyptian Prime Minister Hesham Qandil talks to CNN's John Defterios in Davos about economic reforms in his country.
The Arab world takes centre stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Friday with Jordan's King Abdullah II set to address global political and business leaders.
The premiers of Egypt, Lebanon, Libya, Tunisia and the Palestinian Territories will discuss transformations in Arab countries, while US Senator John McCain is taking part in a panel on the future of conflict-torn Syria. (...)
Egyptian Prime Minister Hisham Qandil also spoke Thursday of the need for his country to focus on its economy now that the political transition is moving forward two years after the fall of Hosni Mubarak.
"Two years ago the Egyptian people stood against the tyrant of Egypt, and in only 18 days they put down Mubarak and his regime and started a new era," he told journalists.
He said that following the election of a civilian president, the Islamist Mohamed Morsi, and a constitutional referendum Egypt would have parliamentary elections in two or three months.
"After that we have completed or ended the transition with all the democratic institutions in place. On the other hand, we have to big time work on the economy," he said. (...)

text: In my computer I have recently upgrade operating system from windows Vista to windows 7. After upgrading operating system all the things worked correctly except HP photosmart c5180 printer. When I try to print anything from HP photosmart c5180 printer at that time I didnt get any problem but when I try to scan document at that time I get error. I have turned off my HP photosmart c5180 printer and then removed power cable from it, after doing that I have plugged power cable in my computer and at the back of my printer and when I tried to scan document again at that time I get same problem. I have also uninstalled all the HP softwares from my computer and then I have installed it again but after doing that also I am experiencing same problem while scanning the document. What should I do to resolve this problem?

I'm interested in buying the "adventure island" stretched canvas, but I really like how the phone case design has "adventure is calling" instead of just "adventure". Is there any way you can put this design up as a stretched canvas option?
Thank you, Epoque!
