No Speed Limits for High-Frequency Trading at The Speed Traders Book Launch Party in Times Square 0 commentsJul 8, 2011 11:42 PMNo speed limits will be imposed at the Times Square Book Launch Party for The Speed Traders, An Insider's Look at the New High-Frequency Trading Phenomenon That is Transforming the Investing World, (http://www.thespeedtraders.com), July 12, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., at The Living Room in the W Hotel in New York City. Author Edgar Perez encourages guests to RSVP at http://thespeedtradersnyc.eventbrite.com; during the scheduled event, the author will be greeting guests and signing copies of The Speed Traders. High-Frequency Trading is in focus because there's concern among some investors that their super-fast trading may be unfair, and leading to strange movements in securities -- most notably the "flash crash". In a new consultation paper, the International Organization of Securities Commissions lays out what it knows about high frequency traders, and the upshot is not much -- but the regulatory body is voicing some significant concerns. Chief among them is that the technological advantage of high-frequency traders gives them an unfair edge, causing other investors to drop out of markets, and whether their speed and sophistication make it too hard for regulators to ensure they aren't gaming markets.
"Although the technological advantage might decline in the future as technology often becomes commoditized, a challenge posed by HFT is the need to understand whether HFT firms' superior trading capabilities result in an unfair advantage over other market participants, such that the overall fairness and integrity of the market are put at risk," said IOSCO, whose members include Canada's securities commissions. The regulatory body added that "many trading strategies used by HFT participants are so sophisticated that they raise an issue as to whether market authorities have the necessary resources to conduct effective market surveillance."
The Speed Traders, published by McGraw-Hill Inc., is the most comprehensive, revealing work available on the most important development in trading in generations. High-frequency trading will no doubt play an ever larger role as computer technology advances and the global exchanges embrace fast electronic access. The Speed Traders explains everything there is to know about how today's high-frequency traders make millions—one cent at a time. In this new title, The Speed Traders, Mr. Perez opens the door to the secretive world of high-frequency trading. Inside, prominent figures drop their guard and speak with unprecedented candidness about their trade.
Mr. Perez has recently been featured on CNBC, TheStreet.com and Channel NewsAsia, and engaged as speaker at Harvard Business School's 17th Annual Venture Capital & Private Equity Conference, Columbia Business School's Career Management Center and Alumni Club of New York, High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2011, CFA Singapore, Hong Kong Securities Institute, News and Sentiment Trading, Waters USA 2011, among other prestigious global forums.
Mr. Perez was a vice president at Citigroup, a senior consultant at IBM, and a consultant at McKinsey & Co. in New York City. Mr. Perez has an undergraduate degree from Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería, Lima, Peru (1994), a Master of Administration from Universidad ESAN, Lima, Peru (1997) and a Master of Business Administration from Columbia Business School, with a dual major in Finance and Management (2002). He is a member of the Beta Gamma Sigma international honor society. Mr. Perez resides in the New York City area and is an accomplished salsa and hustle dancer.
Mr. Perez is one of the great business networkers and motivators on the lecture circuit; he is available worldwide for the following speaking engagements: Present and Future of High-Frequency Trading, The Real Story behind the "Flash Crash", Networking for Financial Executives, and Business Networking for Success.Back To edp2005's Instablog HomePage »

The bob hairstyle is a classic look that's lasted through the decades. This simple yet elegant cut can make fine, limp hair look and feel fuller. The key to choosing the best bob hairstyle for your fine hair is to pick one that enhances your face shape and styling preferences.
Round Faces
If you have a round face, choose a bob hairstyle that falls past your jaw line. This will create the illusion of a longer face as it draws the eye downward. Choose a style that lies just under the chin or falls to the top of the shoulders. No bangs are preferable but light, wispy bangs will work.
Square Faces
If you have a square face, you need to create height at the crown of the head. Avoid a sleek, straight bob that falls at chin length. Try a layered bob with wisps around your face and wispy bangs. Having your stylist cut extra layers into the crown area for added volume will balance your strong jaw line.
Heart-Shaped Faces
If your face is heart-shaped, choose a bob hairstyle that falls at chin length. Have your stylist cut layers in the last few inches of your bob to create width at the jaw line. If you have any natural wave, play it up to create even more volume around the chin area. Keep your bangs light and wear a side part.
Oval Face
An oval face is considered a nearly perfectly balanced face, so you have the most options of bob hairstyles. Let your personal preference be your guide, and don't be afraid to try a cutting-edge bob, such as an asymmetrical cut.
Styling Fine Hair
No matter what your face shape or which bob style you choose, you still have to contend with the characteristics of fine hair. Long layers around the face create movement and volume, but layers cut too short may cause your hair to fall flat. When using styling products, choose ones designed for fine hair. Spray gel and lightweight mousse are your best bets for creating volume and control without weighing down your fine hair. Blow-drying with a natural-bristle round brush will also help create volume in your bob.

How does Intuit stay in business? I just checked Amazon for the most recent version of Quicken and more than half of the reviewers gave 1 star!!! Intuit forces users to upgrade every 3 years. Maybe they should call it what it really is...a downgrade.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
THEY STAY IN BUSINESS BY CHARGING 2500 A COPY FOR Proseries professional tax software to CPA'S or charging 3,000 a copy for their La CERTE package. Then they also ship out millions of copies of TURBO TAX TO THE UNDERLINGS WHO MAKE LESS THEN 90K so they can do their returns at home on their PC. They now want to have you use their inhouse CPA'S, THEIR IN HOUR tax attorneys , their inhouse ENROLLED agents and give them blanket authority covering all 50 states for tax advice to COMPETE AGAINST their subscriber market. They just lost round 1 in a lawsuit filed by preparers who are upset by these new IRS rules that INTUIT AND H/R BLOCK were all gung ho for to eliminate the small local tax preparer competition.

GSD Course Bulletin - Fall 2013
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:55:09.
Courses taught by Sanford Kwinter
03431: A Science of the Environment (DES 0343100)
Architecture, Landscape Architecture
Lecture - 4 credits
Thursday 3:00 - 4:30 42 Kirkland 1G
Tuesday 3:00 - 5:30 Gund - Gropius
Sanford Kwinter
Course Description
The science of ecology purports to study life as the sum of interactions between organisms and their natural environment. The term 'natural' has in recent decades undergone significant revision, in both biological and philosophical circles, increasingly to include a great many aspects of human cultural process and history. This course will be an approach toward the ideal of a 'total ecology', at once an incorporation of 'deep ecology', behavioral ecology and evolutionary theory as a discipline intended to transform and cultivate an entirely new way of understanding the human physical and cultural relationship to the natural world.
As 'sustainability' theories and ethics rise to prominence in the contemporary economic and historical world, conceived largely in terms of remedial and technological intervention, the more foundational questions and forms of knowledge associated with true ecological thinking have paradoxically fallen by the wayside. This course seeks to recover, and in many ways reinvent, the habits of mind in which naturalism once played a central role in human life and culture. This course will focus in considerable detail on early human evolution and the early (Pleistocene) stone age (economics, art, social organization, knowledge systems, etc.), on the 'knowledge systems' employed within plant and animal milieus to at once create, exploit and stabilize the relationship to their milieus as well as on the forms that they
both create and take on to maximize this stability.
Geological, climactic, biotic, technological, aesthetic and even psychic factors will be studied as contributors to a 'total' ecological posture toward the environment. Human 'being' will be shown to be a direct and inseparable product of the landscape in which the human type arose and to which it will need once again to return with effective understanding, if it wishes to evade the catastrophes that current science predicts.
03457: How to do Things with Words (DES 0345700)
Seminar - 4 credits - Limited enrollment
Wednesday 3:00 - 6:00 7 Sumner 404
Sanford Kwinter
Course Description
This seminar will seek to explore the (actual and potential) roles and uses of writing within design and the design field. It will address problems of both form and content and examine important but neglected complexities of the relations between them. The course will have as a central concern philosophies of writing and especially the philosophical component of written intervention in general (the course is not intended for PhD students nor students concerned with contemporary academic writing as currently practiced within the Anglo-Saxon academy). The course is based on the dual assumption that a. writing is thinking and b. writing is a material practice that uniquely connects physical and immaterial actions and things -- a form of building, design or worldmaking.
Each week a short text will be studied closely and in depth (ex. Isaiah Berlin, Erwin Panofsky, Erich Auerbach, Michel Foucault, Rayner Banham, Friedrich Nietzsche, Marcel Proust, Virginia Woolf, Roland Barthes, etc.) and each week one written text will be assigned and completed by each class member for consideration by the entire class.
Prerequisites: demonstration of an existing publishing record (or an attempted one) and a credible commitment to a writing practice in the public domain.
Contemporary ephemeral and quasi-literary forms (primarily associated with digital and social media) will enter into discussion and will be theorized but will NOT be considered part of this course's topos or practice.

I was nauseous and tingly all over. . . . I was either in love or I had smallpox.
Woody Allen (1935 -)
Contributed by: Zaady
I was nauseous and tingly all over. . . . I was either in love or I had smallpox.
Seventy percent of success in life is showing up.
What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet.
Why does man kill? He kills for food. And not only food: frequently there must be a beverage.
When I was in school, I cheated on my metaphysics exam: I looked into the soul of the boy sitting next to me.
More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.
My grandfather was a very insignificant man, actually. At his funeral his hearse followed the other cars.
When I was kidnapped, my parents snapped into action. They rented out my room.
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Formulaic or not, there ain\'t that much noteworthy all-girl product out there these days (Bruce Seven, R.I.P.), so stock it anyway.
After twelve volumes, this acclaimed all-girl series (Vol. 2 won Best All-Girl Feature last year) is beginning to feel a bit formulaic.
Every scene in the latest installment features two girls four-fingering each other's pussies to orgasm, then hopping onto their trusty ol' vibrating screw saddle for orgasm number two.
Yes, there are enough intensely hot moments, and the girls are consistently fetching enough, to earn the tape an above-average rating. But for those familiar with the line, Vol. 12 has an overall been-there, done-that feel to it.
Next time out, FFC's makers shouldn't be afraid to tamper with their past successes by varying the drill a bit with say, a threeway or some strap-on action every now and then.

Tibet on the Edge of Chan
3.0 out of 5 stars
Feb. 8 2002
This review is from:
Tibet on the Edge of Chan (VHS Tape)
China's invasion of Tibet in 1959 resulted in the exile of that land's spiritual and political leader, the 14th Dalai Lama and the slow erosion of a unique culture. Tibet On The Edge of Change attempts to highlight Tibetan culture and show its slow demise since the invasion.
As the viewer you are taken to this land where you are given a feel for the topography and the people who inhabit it. You witness a people who practice interdependence on one another for survival, have a reverance for the land, are subsistance farmers (barley and corn the main crops) and have developed a unique form of Buddhism. These practioners of peace created a culture where mutual respect was the norm.
The next view you are given is that of the Chinese impact. Lands that were once heavily forrested are now stripped bare causing erosion problems. China introduced strip mining into the area causing further environmental problems. To make matters worse, China housed a nuclear dump into Tibet which no doubt will evoke more devestation upon the land.
You see a glimpse of Tibetan culture as it attempts to survive under Chinese oppression but it appears as if Tibetan life is barely surviving. Now the Chinese outnumber the Tibetans who have become strangers in their own land.
As a whole this video gives you a wide sweeping view of what is happening in Tibet but it lacks depth. Absent are the voices of the people who are undergoing this oppression. Even though you get an idea of the oppression going on you fail to get the feeling. In fact the Tibetans look and act like happy people content with their lot. The sense of urgency and the importance of this culture doesn't move you. You also don't get a feel of how Tibetan Culture has changed under Chinese rule.
Despite those faults the video is good as a general introduction to Tibet and the impact of China on the country. If used in conjunction with other resources the viewer will receive a better understanding of the problems that Tibet is undergoing.
Conversations with Isabel Allende

This review is from:
Conversations with Isabel Allende (Paperback)
If you are captivated by Allende's novels and moved by her memoir then you will be equally enthralled with this work. Conversations with Isabel Allende is a collection of thirty-four interviews covering the life, work and assessment of Allende as a writer. The interviews are divided into three periods. The first begins in the mid-80's and is predominated by literary interviews given by academics and scholars of Latin American Literature. The second period (late 80's to 1991) consists of interviews that are biographical and focus on the relationship of her works with her life. The third set of interviews (1991-1994) deal with her relationship with her daughter, the impact of the Latin American Boom Writers on her work and how her move to the United States has impacted on her writing.
I was fascinated with this vast array of material which contains something for everyone. Allende deals with the probing questions of critics and academics regarding her style, structure and influences on her work. Her answers are most surprising in that she doesn't see herself as falling into any particular writing tradition. In fact she confesses her ignorance about those in the literary field who analyze and take apart her works for greater understanding.
Another part of the interviews that are intriguing is her sharing with us her life story, anecdotes, and challenges. You see an intimate portrait of her as a mother, journalist, feminist and novelist. Allendes warts as well as her beauty shines through. Her responses to the questions are a story unto themselves and you wonder if they are indeed true.
What is most important about this work is that you see the progression of growth of one of Latin America's most significant female writers. Allende's works are put in a particular context and you as a reader are able to engage her in viewing how she writes, why she writes and the significance it has for women and Latin America. Conversations is a "must have" text in doing any literary or biographical research on this great writer.
Erskine Caldwell: The Journey from Tobacco Road

This review is from:
Erskine Caldwell: The Journey from Tobacco Road (Hardcover)
In the thirties critics acclaimed Erskine Caldwell as one of the most influential writers of his time. His books sold in the millions and his play, Tobacco Road (based on the novel), had an unprecedented record run across the nation. By the time the sixties emerged, Caldwell falls into obscurity, disdained by the critics and forgotten in the canon of southern literature.
Caldwell's Icarus-like rise to fame and descent into obscurity is the catalyst which inspired Dan Miller to explore one of the south's most prolific writers. What was behind the man who was so passionate in his work yet ended up destroying his professional career, his marriages and his relationships with his children.
The Journey from Tobacco Road takes a microscopic look at the forces which shaped and made Caldwell the writer that he is. Born of educated parents who were members of a fundamentalist presbyterian sect, we find a man full of contradictions. His parents had formal education. Their son never graduated from high school (or any school for that matter) and was a poor writer and reader. Their denomination, The Associated Reformed Presbyterian Church, was highly fundamental yet Caldwell's father had a great passion to confront the injustice of poor and Black people. His passion was transferred over to his son who became the extentsion of his cause for justice.
You will come across layers of complexities of Erskine who was controlling in all of his relationships with his wives and daughters. His obsessive need for control extended itself into the lives of his children to the point of abuse. Yet despite these tendancies Caldwell reached the hearts and minds of his readers in his depiction of the southern poor.
Miller has given the reader a revealing portrait of a man who was at the top of his literary popularity only to fall in obscurity. We are shown the elements of why this happened and can see that the same trap is set for writers who become popular but are spurned by the academic literary community. Caldwell's journey is an interesting one as he goes through the school of hard knocks only to rise a winner. Miller's biography is clear and concise. He doesn't put Caldwell on a pedestle but he reminds us this is an author who shouldn't be ignored. You will enjoy this biography.
Miller's concern about Caldwell's obscurity is not to be ignored. Recently I sat on a class in southern literature. When I read the syllabus, I saw the conspicuous absence of Caldwell's name. On approaching the teacher, I asked why and she immediately became embarassed and said she that Caldwell's name had mistakenly been dropped while editing the syllabus. Miller's book is certainly one we need to remind us of the life and contributions of this man of southern literature.

This review is from:
Eva Luna (Mass Market Paperback)
Conceived on her father's deathbed and almost strangled to death by her umbilical cord, the baby who emerged would become the woman, Eva Luna. Her birth is incredible and her life is even more so as Eva spins for us her story and the story of those who impacted her life.
Isabel Allende captivates the reader by having us take a glimpse of the life and times of Eva Luna, a child whose life is so surreal and incredible to the point where fact and fantasy become one and the same. Eva's voice sweeps us into the dark world of perverts, undesirables and revolutionaries. Through Eva's stories you get a closer look at a society rotten at its core while masquerading as a democracy.
Come with Eva, as a little girl where she plays with a stuffed puma owned by a mad-man who uses Indians for his embalming experiments. Watch as this orphaned girl is "sold" off by her strange godmother who believes in the gods of her ancesteral Africa and the saints of Catholicism. Watch Eva as she grows from childhood to adolescense to an adult who has to confront the reality of love and revolution.
EVA LUNA is a lyric tale whose language draws you immediately into the life of the character and her supporting cast. You feel a deep empathy for this woman and you see through her eyes the contradictions that life has to offer. Allende has given us an exceptional work that explores both the spiritual, political and sensual side of a woman caught up in the stream of chaos in her South American country. Come, let Eva tell you a story, her story and you will find yourself unable to tear yourself away from her amazing tale.

A Day Late and a Dollar Short (Mass Market Paperback)
Viola Price sees the threads of her tight knit family slowly but surely unravelling. As a concerned mother over her adult children even though her marriage has gone sour, she attempts to hold the fragile threads together. Will these threads hold under all of the hurts, jealousies, pain and down right stubborness of this family? Only the characters would know and each tells their own side of the story.
Terry McMillan's masterful style of easedropping takes the reader into the minds, hearts and ambitions of these six family members. We find out their weaknesses and frailties as some of them attempt to makes excuses about why the other is a jerk. The dialogue is exceptional, the story line and elements are great but McMillan falls short in her presentation of the characters.
A Day Late and A Dollar Short is told through the indvidual perspectives of the family members. The problem with them is that they become so transparent and predictable to the point of being a bore. Paris, the oldest, is painted with the typical first born frustrations of being perfect. Lewis, the only son, is the typical can't get-myself-together man who refuses to take responsibility. The middle sibling, a female, goes through her middle-child syndrome problems while the youngest is a space cadet. Yes, they do have problems, serious ones but after dealing with superficial characters you end up saying so what?
McMillan's book is certainly entertaining, engages some serious issues and will raise a few chuckles but its characters lack depth. I highly recommend this book for entertaining reading but don't expect an indepth story of a family struggling to become whole.

How To Write Science Fiction (Paperback)
Pragmatic, informative, and to the point are the best adjectives to use in describing the contents of this how-to-book of writing science fiction. Matthew Costello doesn't go into literary theory about the genre nor does he lead the reader on an endless quest of defining science fiction. What you get is solid guidance on how to write, sell, and market a science fiction story that is believable.
Step by step the reader is shown the basic building blocks of creating a good story. After providing you with those essential elements, the author tells you the basic components of developing the science, worlds and characters in the piece. He also examines the classic works of science fiction's masters (Asimov, Silverberg, Card) to acquaint the reader with the various styles contained within the genre.
After you have followed the steps then the next mountain to climb is that of marketing your work. Costello is very clear in letting you know that writing is a business. If you are to succeed in the business you need to know your market, know how to write a proposal and studying your field.
I enjoyed reading this book about a genre that appears to be more intimidating than others when it comes to writing. Costello breaks the myth that you must be a science major or science nerd in order to be able to write a clear and concise work that is believable.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to explore the possibility of writing science fiction. It provides the catalyst to make you want to experiment in writing in the field. The book is not a detailed work which covers every aspect of writing in the genre. Use it as an introductory primer and you will get satisfaction out of beginning your first story of science fiction.

Nostradamus (Audio CD)
Join in with scholars and writers who discuss a man's visions that unfolded in the future. Nostradamus is a name well known for his fatal prophecies but little is known about him. Biography takes us through a journey of this man's life and the impact that his words had on future generations.
You will be surprised to find that Michael Notre Dame was the descendent of forced Jewish converts. He grew up learning about astrology, magic and the sources of Kabballah. All of these teachings lead him to become a reknowned medieval physician. The question then arises, what happened to him that he was able to foretell future catastrophes? Biography does an adequate job in its attempt in answering this question.
Throughout the film you are shown the prophecies that he had foretold four centuries prior to their happening. Nostradamus was also under a cloud of suspicion but through his patronage with royalty, he was able to escape the cross examinations of the inquisitors.
This film is informative about a person whose name is well known but whose life and work are a mystery. Should we believe that his prophecies came true or are they a result of our imagination? All of the scholars interviewed says Nostradamus was highly accurate. It would have been good to have another point of view regarding his life and work for us to make a sound judgement. Overall this is a fairly good video to entice you to learn more about this man.

This review is from:
Richard Wright: The Life and Times (Hardcover)
Many biographies have been written about Richard Wright but this remarkable book gives you a fresh perspective on this man who turned the publishing world upside down with his book Native Son. Unlike the other books written about him, The Life and Times focuses on the personal life of Wright and how over the years he developed as a writer.
Rowley takes us to his home state of Mississippi where we meet Richard Wright as a boy. Raised in a fundamentalist religious family in the midst of poverty, Wright was a true outsider who was not understood by his family or friends. His migration to the north (Chicago) unfolds a new world for him where his writing abilities are recognized and nurtured.
You see a Richard Wright who embraces individualism and won't allow the Communist Party or any other organization to dictate to him how to write. As time goes on Wright takes the step of permanently leaving the United States by going to France. It is there that he finds a freedom never felt before in America.
I enjoyed this book and was surprised about many facts concerning his personal life and writing career. Wright's psychological development and philosophical stances are intriguing. At times he is an outspoken voice against racism but ends up making compromises in his work and personal life. Towards the end of his life, Wright becomes suspicious of those around him. He alienates himself from his family and friends.
Rowley shows us the complexities and humanity of a man who went from poverty to fame and then on a downward spiral into spiritual poverty. What was it that made this man tick? The author does an outstanding job in answering that question and putting him in perspective of his day and time. This is an outstanding book that deserves to be in the libraries of every reader.

Terry McMillan: The Unauthorized Biography (Paperback)
Terry McMillan's name is immediately recognized in popular literature. Many fans and readers are curious about the life of this woman who created a new genre (urban romance) and opened the eyes of publishing companies that Black people do read books.
Unfortunately this "Unauthorized Biography" of the author falls very short in telling us about Ms McMillan's life and what developed her as an author.
What you get is a compilation of stories regarding Terry McMillan but nothing substantial about her life and art. In fact the vast majority of the book talks about the publishing industry, other Black authors, the latest gossip and other trite subjects that have nothing to do what so ever in dealing with the life of Terry McMillan. What is shared is information that has already been known. This biography doesn't tell us anything new. If only it would talk about Terry then it would hold your attention.
Most of Patrick's biographical information is from the books (Mamma, How Stella Got Her Grove Back,etc.) that she finds are autobiographical in nature to McMillan's life. Novels are not facts and Ms Patrick should have taken the time to do some full scale research. Her excuses about McMillan being uncooperative doesn't hold water if you are truly dedicated and serious about doing justice to a major author.
If you are looking for a definitive biography of McMillan leave this book on the shelf. If you want to be slightly entertained and not interested in the facts and development of this great writer by all means this is the book for you.

The Sweet Hell Inside: A Family History (Hardcover)
Edward Ball intrigued us with the story of his family and their slave owning heritage. Now he presents us with the story of the Black side of his family. In this account our attention is focused on the children of William Harleston (Ball's ancestoral uncle and slave owner) and his slave paramour Kate Wilson. The progeny of the above liason resulted in the beginnings of a Black middle-class dynasty in the early twentieth century.
Edwin Harleston, the son of William and Kate, managed to run a lucrative funeral business, nurture an artist son and maintained his own mistress like his father. As the patriarch of the family, Harleston's progeny impacted on the life and culture of Black America. Ball has you witness the triumphs, hardships and struggles of a family rejected by their white brethren only to surpass them against the odds.
Ball gives us an excellent look at the rise of the social and racial stratefication of the Black middle-class in their own communities. We get an inside view of the Black elite of light skinned Blacks who carve out their own society. You witness their foibles, eccentric natures and dedication to the race through the study of one family.
If the book has its faults the main one would be Ball's getting bogged down in the historical context of the story to the point where we lose sight of the characters. Edwina Harleston Whitlock, who is the main informant, shares her story with her cousin Ball but somehow her voice gets muted. Despite that problem Ball gives a good account of the family.
White readers will be intrigued by the complexities of Black social life in early twentieth century america. Black readers will find the story interesting but not remarkable for there are "Harlestons" in every Black community. Try the book and open your eyes to a great story.

In a more than $4.3 billion transaction that includes the acquisition of 3,200 San Diego area apartments, Palo Alto-based Essex Property Trust reports it has completed its acquisition of San Francisco-based BRE Properties.
The combined company is projected to have a pro forma equity market capitalization of approximately $10.4 billion, and a total market capitalization of approximately $15.4 billion.
That would make the combined firm the third-largest multifamily investment trust by market capitalization in the country, only behind Sam Zell's Equity Residential (NYSE: EQR) and AvalonBay (NYSE: AVB).
Under the completed transaction, Essex (NYSE: ESS) now owns some 5,900 units in more than 20 complexes around the county.
The largest property on the list in San Diego County that has moved from BRE to Essex is the 616-unit Esplanade complex on Camino Ruiz in Mira Mesa that has zero vacancies, according to a CoStar survey.
Another property that has changed hands is the 472-unit Montañosa apartment complex in the Tierrasanta submarket that also has no vacancies.
The 356-unit Carmel Landing apartment complex in the Carmel Mountain Ranch area is an additional property that changed ownership to Essex.
BRE had sold its 300-unit Lakeview Village Apartments in Spring Valley, 208 units on Golfcrest Drive in the Mission Trails area, a 233-unit complex on East H Street in Chula Vista and a 183-unit complex on Telegraph Canyon Road in Chula Vista to San Diego Jackson Square Properties entities in the 15 months prior to the completion of Essex' acquisition.
Some of the larger apartment properties already owned by Essex entities here included the 301-unit Alpine Village, 354-unit Mira Monte Apartment Homes in Mira Mesa, 379-unit Domain San Diego in the San Diego Spectrum in Kearny Mesa and 300-unit Summit Park Village on Lake Murray Boulevard in East San Diego.

Issue or problem
After September 11, 2001, the media has (unintentionally/intentionally) created images that WE often categorize as "them", "others" or "evil" just because culturally they are different from what we generally believe or know.
Semiotic theory
Encoding/DecodingStructuralist semioticians tend to focus on the internal structure of the text rather than on the processes involved in its construction or interpretation. Where those working within this tradition do theorize beyond the text, they tend to argue that communication (particularly mass communication) is a primary process of reality construction and maintenance whereby positions of inequality, dominance and subservience are produced and reproduced in society and at the same time made to appear 'natural'. The 'New Critics', W K Wimsatt and M C Beardsley, whilst not structuralists, advanced the formalist argument that meaning lay within the text and defined as 'the affective fallacy' the notion that the meaning of a poem depended on the 'subjective' responses of the reader, which they saw as 'a confusion between the poem and its results (what it is and what it does)' (Wimsatt & Beardsley 1954, 21). Such accounts tend towards 'textual determinism', assuming that texts are invariably read much as was intended by their makers, leaving little scope either for contradictions within and between texts or for variations amongst their interpreters. Monolithic theories of this kind ignore what Saussure had referred to as 'the role of signs as part of social life' (Saussure 1983, 15; Saussure 1974, 16).
Application of theory to example
Islam was introduced to the United States before 1800. It was first brought by the Moriscos who accompanied Columbus ("A Brief Story of Islam in the United States"). The Moriscos are Catholic Spanish who allegedly secretly practice Islam ("Moriscos"). They joined Columbus in the journey to the New World.
During this period, there were names that can be considered as the pioneer of Islam in the United States. One example was Istafan from Azamor, Morocco. He went to the United States to guide the Spanish who wanted to settle in the United States (Ahari). The region where they settled in is now known as Arizona.
From 1800-1890, Islam was very dominant in the slave quarters. In fact, there was much documentation on Islam. One of them is by Theodore Dwight, Jr. who wrote two stories about Lamen Kebe, a school teacher in Africa. In the stories, Dwight incorporated teaching method used in those Islamic schools (Ahari).
Even though Islam seems to have developed for a long time in the United States, the acceptance of Islam is not always smooth. In fact, Islam, the religion of peace, has often involved, affiliated and faced with violence.
After September 11, 2001, the acceptance of Islam is getting more difficult to achieve. The terrorist attacks that hit the World Trade Center had caused American media to generate stereotypes on Muslims. It seems like all Muslims are Arabs and all Arabs are evil (Merskin 158). Media, as a matter of fact, is something that can shape society. Americans spend 32 minutes per day watching TV news and 17 minutes listening to radio news ("Seventy Percent"). Many people in the United States even use multiple forms of media at the same time to satisfy themselves ("Seventy Percent"). Media existence varies from non-moving, for example newspapers and books, to moving, such as TV news, motion pictures, and music videos. Looking at these facts, media seem to be the primary sources of information as well as sources of cultural transmission, through which society can receive new cultural views. Media can also develop public opinion on issues that were shared with them.
According Stuart Hall, the social positioning by mass media is part of encoding and decoding in the semiotic theory. Hall divided the interpretations into three categories depending on how the viewers/readers accept the codes that are given by the mass media (Chandler). The first one is dominant reading which is when the viewers/readers accept the entire preferred reading presented by the mass media. The second one is negotiated reading which is when the viewer/readers share the broad preferred reading but still modify some other codes so that those codes reflect their position. The last one is oppositional reading which is when the viewers/readers do not share the preferred reading (Chandler).
In the case of Islam, in the United States, there is a hegemonic reading in the Western society. In Canada, a magazine called Macleans Magazine published a photograph of Muslim women in their October 23rd, 2008, edition. The women are wearing black burqas and the photos are taken as if the photographer is close to them. Even though other religious leaders, for example, in Christian and Jewish leaders wear black clothing, the black that is associated with them is a sign of submission to God. However, when it comes to the photo of these Muslim women, the black seems to signify more on evil, unhappiness or mystery (Watt). Same case happens with the photo that was published in the October 24th – 31st, 2008, edition. It was a photo of Palestinian militants who were in a Jihad rally. Intentionally or unintentionally, the photo seems to portray brutality or if not hostility.The tool that is being used to mark or create hegemonic reading in the Western popular culture, in this case hegemonic reading on Islam/Arabs, is the one-sided presentation on Islam or Arabs.
Through the media, what is considered as important to the Islam society is not portrayed accurately; for example, like the history of oppression, the Islamic view of justice, and the Islamic vision of their own societies are irrelevant to the Western media. What the media see as significant to be published is anything related to outrages, Islamic revolution, and other violence because there is lack of interest in thinking about or portraying Islam sympathetically (Said). TV networks such as ABC, CNN and PBS do not spend a lot of time covering Arab culture. On the other hand, they have extensive reports on war, violence and threat which related to Arabs (Merskin 165). Therefore, viewers/readers will most likely be exposed only to those hegemonic readings.
It seems like the Western journalists do not consider much about other cultural values because from all the information above they tend to create a rigid depiction of Islam and Arab people as violent and fundamental through news they have presented. Their actions could be intentional or unintentional but still those actions contribute to the wrong construction of image of Islam and Arabs. On the other hand, the principles that the "other" believes are not well considered in the news stories. Plus, the viewers and the readers might not care about the principle that the "other" hold dear and might only care about the impact of the conflict on them.
Not only through images, but also through words is how the hegemonic reading is introduced. One recent example is the statement by the president in his address to the nation. In his address, he stated the word "evil" four times. He introduced the concept of good versus evil or us versus them (Merskin 166). According to Hathout, "Islam is probably the most misunderstood American reality" and "studies have shown that American's knowledge of the Islamic faith is 'tragically laughable.'" And as a result, "Most of the time we're mentioned, it's sensationalized, ugly, or weird. And when a group is generalized, it becomes an object of fear (Merskin 169-170).
One part of collective action frames that has a strong relation to image construction is identification. According to Wicks, identification as the process of presenting information in ways that highlight differences between groups of people resulting in a dichotomy of us versus them. For example, during the cold war, United States identified them as goodness and identified the Soviet as evil. And now, the West has identified Islam as the new communism (Abukhattala), where Islam portrayed as evil and bloodthirsty, while the West is portrayed as the good (Wicks).
The idea of us versus them is enforced by Bush's statement:
"Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime (Merskin 170)."
Arab world has been reconstructed by Western elite experts so that it comes off as inferior in technology, religion, and culture (Fuller). The audience might take what they see about Muslims on the media as offensive or inappropriate, but what about other views? The act of terrorism happened in the United States are most of the time political, probably these people want freedom, space, or liberation and the action that they "think" might work is terrorism. That does not mean every member of the society that relates to those groups think the same. Many Muslims, Arabs, and Middle Easterners are moderate and they do not intend to do such violent actions.
Furthermore, propaganda about Islam and ethnic like Arabs and Middle Eastern people is also strongly embedded toward the audience.
There are several ways to propagate an idea through the cinema, one by oversimplifying issues, stereotyping the enemy, over generalizing an idea, creating band wagon, and using psychosocial techniques (Fuller 190). In fact, movies are perfect media to propagate an idea. Many people think movies are just entertainment and the audience will forget about it after sometimes. However, movies do more than entertain; they deliver invisible social, psychological and political messages. One ideological assumption is that a Palestinian is a terrorist is a terrorist (Fuller 190).
In conclusion, Western media, Muslims, Arabs, and Middle Easterners have to compromise. There seem to be cultural differences between the West and the Muslims and Arabs. For the West, things that are unfamiliar, uncommon, or different are seen as rather wrong and so the media play a key role in spreading this hegemony to the public.

Steganographic Approach to Copyright Protection of Audio
Steganography is the technique of hiding data in images and music. It is one of the powerful mechanisms by which useful copyright information is hidden in the audio. In this paper, we propose the use of steganography and public key cryptography to store the copyright information and authenticate the original audio. A tool called Steger is being developed which automatically determines the original copyright holders of the audio content. This tool is useful in Digital Rights Management (DRM) enabling of end-user systems such as PDAs, Mobile Phones, PCs, Handheld devices, consumer electronics etc.

The Bronx Zoo Cobra Parody Account Is Still Tweeting, Over Two Years Later
The person behind it explains why.
Almost as soon as word broke earlier this week that a red panda had gone missing from the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., a legion of unfunny, utterly forgettable parody accounts were spawned on Twitter. Such is the world we now live in.
It wasn't always thus. A long time ago, people sometimes took notice when a parody account was created on Twitter. Parody accounts made the news. Such was the case with @BronxZoosCobra, one of the more popular and successful Twitter parodies, created in honor of a different zoo escape in 2009.
Unlike the ephemeral parody accounts of the present day, however, @BronxZoosCobra is still tweeting. Over e-mail this week, we asked her why.
"People still tweet photos of themselves visiting me at the zoo, still reach out, retweet, and have fun with me," says "Cobra" (who declined to reveal her identity and, for the purposes of this story, will be referred to as a female, like the actual cobra). "People told me that they joined Twitter just to follow me. I don't want to let them down."
Cobra is hardly surprised at the sorry state of current-events-related Twitter parody accounts. "Comedy is successful when we don't expect the punch line," she says. "If everyone is ready for an escaped-red-panda Twitter account, it's not as much fun." Cobra is a fan of @SeinfeldToday.
Even though Cobra has been able to parlay her Twitter account into writing opportunities, like the gig she has blogging for Pawnation, we wondered if she's ever considered, you know, stopping. After all, the incident the account is based on happened over two years ago now, and the account's followers have been steadily declining from a high of 242,000 to today's (admittedly still impressive) 187,446.
"Why would I stop with over 180,000 followers?" Cobra asks. Referring to yours truly, she adds, "It's not like I have less than 6,000 followers like some people on Twitter." She punctuates this light jab with :)=, a snake smiley face.


text: My Brother's Keeper Initiative President Obama's My Brother's Keeper Challenge For decades, opportunity has lagged far behind for young boys and men of color, particularly in urban communities nationwide. Looking to address the lack of opportunities for young men of color and to improve their outcome, President Obama launched the My Brother's Keeper (MBK) initiative in February 2014. The MBK community challenge encourages local leaders and their respective communities to come together to develop and implement a coherent "cradle-to-college-and-career strategy" for improving the life outcomes of all young people. It promotes using existing evidence-based and data-driven strategies to develop a long-term and sustainable strategic action plan. It calls on leaders to identify and partner with all community stakeholders in order to assess the local needs and existing assets, determine collective priorities, and set common goals for improvement.As of date, nearly 200 mayors, county executives, and tribal leaders across 43 states and the District of Columbia have accepted the MBK Community Challenge. Rochester is proud to accept this challenge and present this action plan as groundwork for improving the lives of young people. City of Rochester Answers the Challenge On November 12, 2014, Mayor Lovely Warren convened a "Local Action Summit," bringing together community leaders, clergy, educators and law enforcement to find ways to improve the outcomes for Rochester young people and their families, with an emphasis on young males of color. From that summit, several working groups were formed to look at existing programs and determine how to create a sustainable pathway to success for all youth. Based on their findings, the following recommendations were presented for each milestone: Milestone 1: All Children Enter School Ready• Fund Programming Gaps Before and After Pre-k• Encourage Early Health and Developmental Screenings• Promote Healthy Living and FitnessMilestone 2: All Children Read at 3rd Grade• Empower Parents to take an active role in their child's development• Ensure the Public's trust in Pre-K programs• Advocate for Additional ResourcesMilestone 3: All Youth Graduate from High School• Create a Mayor's Mentor Network• Encourage Private Sector Opportunities for Youth Employment• Promote Youth Positivity and Educational Messaging Milestone 4: All Youth are employed• Improve Summer Youth Employment• Prepare Youth for the Workforce• Increase Internship Opportunities for youthMilestone 5: All Youth are Safer from violence• Renovate our Efforts to prevent youth violence through community engagement, targeted intervention and counseling• Encourage Law Enforcement and Communities to work together• Diversity the Public Safety Departments City of Rochester Programs and Initiatives that addresses the MBK Challenge Milestone 1: All Children Enter School Ready to Learn• Early Learning CouncilMilestone 2: All Children Read at Grade Level by 3rd Grade• 3 to 3 Initiative • Storytime with Style• Rochester Families ReadMilestone 3: All Youth Graduate from High School• Team I.M.P.A.C.T• Youth Voice, One Vision (Mayor's Advisory Council)• Lunch with the Mayor• Pillars of Hope• #ReachHigher• FAFSA FestMilestone 4: All Youth are Employed• Operation Transformation Rochester• Summer Of Employment Opportunity• City of Rochester Internship Program• Career Pathways to Public Safety• Project SearchMilestone 5: All Youth are Safe from Violence and Crime• Community Policing (RPD Re-org)• Pathways to Peace• Clergy on PatrolRead more about My Brother's Keeper Initiative here SEE ALSO Community and Youth Programs | Volunteer and Giving Opportunities | Projects and Initiatives

Deep in one of the caves he came across some artifacts: a cup, a shoe, a comb, buttons, medicine bottles. He realized that these items belonged to someone, were part of someone's life and started to ask questions. Finally … [Read more...]

#6875 closed (wontfix)
Allow for easier QuerySet customization.
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
The impetus for this patch is that it will be difficult for the built-in QuerySet implementation to satisfy everyone's needs (as evidenced by some vehement disagreements about aggregate functionality on django-dev).
Currently the only way to really deal with this is to fork Django and keep a local copy up to date.
This patch allows for the specification of a default QuerySet class (which can be located anywhere on the PythonPath) which will be used in all query operations. To add group_by functionality, for example, one could subclass django.db.models.query.BaseQuerySet and add a group_by function. Then, specify DEFAULT_QUERYSET_CLASS to be the path to your custom subclass. Now group_by would be available in all filters, managers, etc. without ever having forked Django.
In fact, there could now be a whole host of externally-hosted QuerySet subclasses, and therefore new ideas could be more easily experimented with.
Thoughts? Ideas? Should I bring this up on django-dev?

Sorry, should have been on two lines, but you can import the settings in such a manner to reconfigure most settings "on the fly" as you put it.

Getaway Guru: One Tank Trip To LigonierIn the mid-18th century, during the French and Indian War, Pittsburgh was little more than a military fort named Fort Duquesne. At the same time, 50 miles to the east, a similar situation was playing out in current-day Ligonier. In more recent history, Ligonier has become well known and especially loved for its kid-friendly amusement parks. With its close proximity to Pittsburgh, its family friendly environment and dually educational and inspirational surroundings, it's time you made a trip to Ligonier part of your family history.

Geo-Political Risks to the Global Economy
Speaker: Marvin Zonis
Professor Emeritus of Business Administration
The University of Chicago Booth School of Business
We are in the midst of the greatest economic boom in world history. This boom differs from earlier periods of global expansion because it encompasses 80 percent of the world's population. Yet risks to this boom threaten its longevity. The risks of terrorism, oil price shocks, a Chinese implosion, a U.S. credit crisis, among many others, are dangers that threaten growing world prosperity.
Join us for a talk by Chicago Booth Professor Marvin Zonis, a thought leader on the intersection of politics, economics and emergent technologies. Professor Zonis will specify the dimensions of the current boom by outlining which countries are participating and which are being left behind. He will then explore principal risks to global growth and how these risks may be realized and possibly mitigated.
Business leaders today, facing a labyrinth of global challenges, will not want to miss this eye-opening lecture aimed at providing critical insights for assessing and managing a number of key geopolitical risk factors.
What Accenture had to say about Marvin Zonis's explanation of global politics to a conference of global energy companies:
"I am very pleased to report that you were the highest rated speaker of the entire conference. You also hold the second highest rating in the entire 14-year history...second only to Margaret Thatcher."

At the Forge - jQuery
Most of my Web development work in the past few years has been in the Ruby language in general and the Ruby on Rails framework in particular. Rails comes with a high-quality JavaScript library called Prototype, and I have written several columns describing how to use Prototype, as well as the Scriptaculous effects library that builds upon its language improvements.
Prototype isn't going away. But, over the past few months, I've noticed a growing interest—from within the Rails community and from other developer communities as well—in jQuery, another high-quality, open-source JavaScript toolkit. Most significant, jQuery was chosen by Microsoft as the official JavaScript library for its developers. jQuery also has a large number of ready-made plugins, including many that provide user-interface functionality. And, as I've started to explore jQuery, I'm beginning to think that its fans have a point, and I've even started to consider switching some of my work away from Prototype to jQuery.
What makes jQuery so special and different? What does it offer? And, how can you integrate it into your applications? This month, I try to answer all of these questions, as we explore some of the basic features of jQuery. Next month, we'll look at some of the UI widgets that jQuery provides to spruce up our sites and make them more functional.
jQuery was first released in 2006, based on preliminary work that John Resig had done since August 2005, as a simple JavaScript library that would make it more convenient to develop Web applications. Over time, it has grown to include many contributors. Resig himself has written two books on JavaScript and now works for the Mozilla corporation as a JavaScript evangelist.
If you have used Prototype previously, you won't be surprised to know that $() is not only a legitimate function name in JavaScript, but it's also used extensively within jQuery. However, $() works differently in jQuery than in Prototype. In Prototype, you can say:
$('foo') // Prototype
to get the elements with id attributes of foo and bar. The number of parameters to Prototype's $() determines whether it returns a single value or an array, as well as how many elements that returned array contains.
Prototype also lets you retrieve items using CSS selectors (and a variety of pseudo-selectors), using the $$() function. For example:
$$('tr.even') // Prototype
returns an array (and always an array, even if it matches only a single object) of all of the tr tags with a class of even.
Well, jQuery works similarly, except that it has only a single function, $(). That function is smart enough to recognize what you want, based on a single CSS-style selector that you give it. (And yes, you may specify only a single selector.) However, id attributes need to begin with a # character, as is the case in CSS. Thus, you can say:
$('#foo') // jQuery
to get all the tags (and there should be only one such tag) that have an id attribute of foo, and:
$('tr.even') // jQuery
jjquery website
I think it should be www.jquery.com (not .org as in the article)

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Paper Pattern for NMAT by GMAC 2016
NMAT is one of the largest online tests in India. The exam is conducted in a time frame of 3 months, allowing choice of two retakes to the students should any of them wish to. In such cases, the best of three scores will be considered. Candidates who obtain a good score in this entrance examination can appear for Case Discussion (CD) and Personal Interview (PI) also.
Paper Pattern for NMAT by GMAC 2016 -
The candidate should note that it is important for them to perform well relative to other candidates in each of the 3 sections of the test as the score of each section and the overall score will be used to shortlist the candidate for the second stage of the selection process as well as in the final ranking. Please note that there will be no negative marking.
Please note that if the candidate is not satisfied by his/her NMA score in the first attempt he/she may schedule for re-take NMA by visiting www.pearsonvue.com/nmims and logging in with the allotted username and password. In case of candidates taking more than one attempt the best score which is the total score and its respective sectional score, which make the candidate eligible as per the cut offs declared by NMIMS, will be considered for short listing for subsequent process. (Cut off means sectional as well as total score). The scores of all the attempts taken by the candidate will be declared on the NMIMS website.
There is no negative marking. Candidates are encouraged to answer all questions to the best of their ability. If you are not sure of a response, make an educated guess and try not to leave questions unanswered for fear of deduction in marks. The practice of no negative marking represents current best practices and psychometric principles.
The three sections of the NMAT are individually timed. Test takers must answer questions and review answers of each section within the allotted time. Test takers must review their answers before moving to another section of the exam, as once the candidate closes out of a section, all answers are final.
