Avenue Q (Touring)
Winner of the Tony Awards Triple Crown for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, Avenue Q is part flesh, part felt and packed with heart. Following five years in the West End and sell-out runs worldwide (packed with mischief, bad behaviour and political incorrectness) this hugely entertaining show is hitting the road on a brand new tour!
Created by Jeff Marx and Robert Lopez (Co-creator of BOOK OF MORMON and writer of the songs for Disney's Frozen) Avenue Q is an irresistibly charming musical which tells the story of the loveable characters on a downtown New York street trying to make sense of life's burning issues.
Hilarious, cheeky and uproariously entertaining, with a terrific batch of songs performed by a cast of hugely talented performers and puppets, Avenue Q is the musical like no other.
'The best musical of the decade' (Sunday Times)
'The wit is glorious, the songs are great' (The Scotsman)
'You'd be a muppet to miss it' (Edinburgh Evening News)
Suitable for audiences 14+ (this is not a children's show).

Three months ago an internal part fell off my floppy driver rendering it useless. Of course I contacted the "City Advantage Plus" people to schedule repairs.
They refuse to fix it stating some rehearsed mumbo jumbo technical terms of the agreement.
The agreement calls for them to fix it and they refuse.

#1 Consumer Comment
WOW - seems they resolved it super quickly ...
AUTHOR: Paul Pickle - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, December 24, 2003POSTED: Wednesday, December 24, 2003
Methinks you may have jumped the gun a little in filing your complaint. It seems as though GE fixed the problem willingly and effectively. If 2 days is too long of a wait for you, then you should not have purchased the warranty. It is NOT instantaneous. You cannot simply snap your fingers and have a computer-geek at your door with the necessary parts and knowledge to fix your computer.
May I suggest that next time you relax, follow the procedure, and allow a couple days to see your problem resolved? It is not rocket science, my friend ...
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

The average Publishing Manager in the United States earns approximately $61K annually. Geographic location is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by years of experience. Men are in the minority of survey respondents, with female Publishing Managers making up 74 percent. Most workers in this position report high levels of job satisfaction. Medical benefits are awarded to most, and a strong majority earn dental coverage. This overview is based on answers to PayScale's salary questionnaire.
Add this chart to your site:
Copy and paste this HTML:
Publishing Managers who responded to the survey indicated only a few skills that they use on the job. Those who have experience with People Management, Editing, and Project Management can expect to be compensated well for these skills.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Respondents with less than five years' experience take home $51K on average. In contrast, those who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably higher average of $65K. People with 10 to 20 years of experience make an average of about $72K in this role. Survey participants with more than twenty years of experience only make around $70K on average, though; this group reports a lower median than the one claimed by mid-career individuals.

Death by peanut butter or drugs?
Published: Friday, February 13, 2009 at 1:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 13, 2009 at 1:28 p.m.
Yes, death by peanut butter is bad and news reports scream about peanut butter causing eight deaths across America over the past few weeks but we do not hear a peep about the fact that legal drugs kill at least 290 people every single day of the year.
That means that drugs kill 50 percent more in a single hour than peanut butter has collectively killed.
Yet, the powerful drug companies continue to bombard the airways and printed media with their campaigns of cover-up and persuasion.
Following the lead of the drug manufacturers, the vitamin merchants do the very same thing, even though study after study shows that the antioxidants A, C and E either do nothing or that they can be potentially harmful.
Neither are about to let the facts get in their way and there is no end in sight.
In a new book, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs, former reporter Melody Petersen details pharmaceutical company shenanigans with blatant disregard of regulations against promoting drugs for uses not approved by the FDA.
Petersen discusses prominent doctors on the take, the environmental impact of drug residues in water and ghostwriting of medical journal articles.
A former pharmaceutical executive at a 1990 Senate hearing stated that Drug companies have institutionalized deception.
I fully concur.
Dr. Marcia Angell, professor emeritus of medicine and of social medicine, Harvard Medical School, said Petersens book is A devastating, often shocking, critique of a once proud industry that has been converted by corporate greed into a vast marketing machine that is often a menace to health.
Other books of interest are Douglas Bremmers Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health and Marcia Angells The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It.
In the America that I love, we will demand more accountability and better regulation of an industry that rules with a gold-plated fist and that is powerful enough to control Congress, to the detriment of the citizenry.
If change has come to Washington, we need to require full disclosure of drug testing, control pharmaceutical lobbying and insist on consumer protection.
Sadly, as I have said before, I believe that, America sleeps.
If you believe that a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is lethal, then dont even think about taking many of the highly promoted, potent drugs that are being pushed on you.
Always consult your physician.
Dr. Randolph M. Howes

Bong Joon-ho's (THE HOST, MOTHER) acclaimed and eagerly awaited adaptation of post-apocalytpic French graphic novel LA TRANSPERCENEIGE has had a long road to U.S. theaters, entangled in will they/won't they with the The Weinstein Company over whether the film needed to be cut for American audiences' presumed attention span. We're thrilled to see it's arriving from Radius-TWC this June in full, and the theatrical trailer previews the visually enticing, violent tale of class warfare aboard a train we're hoping for.Read more »

A New "ROSEMARY'S BABY" Aims to Set Itself ApartFearful Features,Movies/TV,News David-Elijah Nahmod
On Sunday May 11, NBC unveils the first half of a new, four hour miniseres adaptation of Ira Levin's ROSEMARY'S BABY. In 1968, horror showman William Castle produced Roman Polanski's highly regarded 1968 film of Levin's book in an attempt to prove to Hollywood, and to moviegoers, that he could produce a "classy" horror movie. Best known for B-movies like THE TINGLER (1959) and HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1958), among others, Castle yearned for respectability. The drive-in fare he produced (complete with gimmicks such as wiring theater seats for electricity in order to "shock" viewers as he did with Tingler) were moneymakers, but Castle was never taken seriously as a filmmaker.Read more »

Can anyone tell me where to look for the problem when, after moving wordpress to its own directory (following the instructions in the codex), the admin works fine (and I can change to the theme that I want), but when I bring up the application, none of the rules in the stylesheet are being applied.
WordPress can find the theme files (e.g. the custom menu coded in header.php of the theme shows up), and the content looks pretty much okay, but nothing is styled.
In the HTML the path to the stylesheet looks right, e.g.
I'm stumped.

google recently released an updated version of the analytics javascript snippet which is completely asynchronous, meaning it doesn't impact page loading/ rendering any more.
there's some great info about the impact of javascript-widgets and tracking code on steve souders' blog.
any chance wordpress will follow suit and provide us an update to wp stats which is completely asynchronous as well?

Dear God,
As you know, last Sunday morning I posted the following on Facebook:
"Dear God,
I'm trying to control the universe as best I can, but I think I'm failing at it. It might be time for me to step aside and let you take over -- I hear you laughing! -- but I'm not sure I know how to do that, seeing as I've been doing this for so long.
"So, please be patient with me and don't smite me with boils or ugly hair.

Ok... I am at risk for shoulder dystosia because I have gestational diabetes, insulin dependent. He is trending large 38 weeks and he is already 8lb. 12oz. Anyhow, what are some good experiences with this? I imagine it will be harder labor and I know that they can become paralyzed, but how many of you have had a shoulder situation and all turned out well in the end?
Shoulder dystosia question
I had a malpractice case once that was a dystosia case. From what I learned, the skill of the doctor has a lot to do with the success of your delivery. There is also the matter of your internal anatomy that will impact your delivery.
There are accepted medical standards that you should consider looking up so that you are aware of what the doctor may do (incudling c-section) to facilitate your delivery.
Unfortuntately, the case I litigated was not a positive result (left side paralysis); however, I think the skill of the doctor in that case had a huge impact on the delivery.
Mom to three great boys: first two were outsourced (adopted), third one was in-house (biological.)
I delivered my last baby vaginally, she was 9.6 lbs (theyre thinking I might have undetected GD last time) and she was fine, no dislocated anything...just bc youre gonna have a big baby doesnt mean this will happen I dont think? This time I know I have GD (diet controlled) so we will see how big she will get...
My last doc appt my doctor brought this to my attention. He said this may happen in delivery and my baby may be paralyized for a few minutes after birth to a year (worst case). I was like what? You want me to try vaginal and you tell me this. I think I rather go with a c-section.
It's more common to happen in big babies from what I have been reading
Mason Keith arrived early 6/23/11
My son was 9.6Ib and he had shoulder dysotica. He wasnt breathing when he first came out and they had placed him on my chest and I was the one that had to tell them that he wasnt moving. It was the scariest moment of my life. At the moment I am sitting here at 41wks1d with a baby that is estimated to be over what my son was. My midwife explained all the moves they use to get the babys out safely and said to try and stay upright as much as possible and avoid having a epi. I was induced with my son, had an epi and was stuck in bed for most of my labor and they believe this contributed to him having shoulder dystocia. Oh and they also had to cut me pretty bad to get there hands in to try and get him out. My son was fine once they got him breathing.
I have experienced Shoulder dystotia...I had a very severe case.My son was 9'6 pounds...big boy, but thats not what caused him to be stuck.Size from what i've researched and talk to my doctor about doesnt have alot to do with it.Your pelvic floor had alot to do with it.I know super tiny women that have delivered 11 pound babies no problem.My son was transverse and when they vaccummed him out thats what they think got him stuck.It's a long story, I'll spare the details, but it all came out well in the end, he was not paralyzed.I took the worse of it with 48+ stiches and a recovery from hell.
Don't go in thinking this will happen to you, likely it will NOT, and besides...they cannot at this stage tell you accuratly the weight of your baby.Just relax, you will be fine.
I agree with PP, I was worried at the start with this LO but after talking to my midwife a few weeks ago I trust that this baby will be delivered safely. They know what they are doing.
my son had his arms bent at the elbows, so his shoulder width was wider because his hands were up there too, he came out bruised up pretty bad, but is 100% fine!! he was only 7lbs 2 oz!! this baby on the other hand is estimated over 9lbs, at 38 weeks, so we are going with a c-section.
Ooweee. This baby was estimated over 8lbs at 37wks. The dr was worried about him getting stuck and mentioned that if things went that way we would do a c-section. I hope everything goes smoothly for all of us with this possiblity. I had a 8lb 4.2 ozer last time and they think this one will be bigger so, lets just hope not much cuz I know I can get out an 8 and halfer ok...9+ IDK...
I had a dystocia with my 9.6lber. I read up like crazy on it for the next one, and found that getting on hands and knees will almost instantly solve the problem. Has a lot to do with how they engage. Stay active/walking as long as possible, and don't lie flat on your back to deliver. So, no epidural, no lying flat, get on hands & knees if it happens. Stupid midwife I had (OB trained) had me flat on back pushing while she pulled and twisted his poor little head. A sharp push on my upper belly finally popped him out, and all was well, but if she'd simply had me change positions it wouldn't have gone on for several minutes like it did. Dystocia is a shoulder jammed against the pelvis bone - unless the baby changes positions, all the pushing in the world won't make the shoulder magically dislodge.
If your Dr. is proactively considering this as a possibility, he is probably well versed in the techniques to dislodge baby (although hands and knees as mentioned isn't the first an OB will usually try and SHOULD be). Worst case would probably be a broken clavicle which heals quickly and painlessly. It's when docs don't know what to do and do the WRONG thing that baby's get injured. (i.e. pushing on mom's abdomen/yanking on baby's head.)
BTW - I guess I can see an episiotomy allowing them to get hands IN to turn baby, but from a purely pushing standpoint, episiotomy doesn't help - baby is stuck on bone, not soft tissue. Read up on it, mama! Hands and knees! Hands and knees!

She said that the fee would be debited from my account on July 3. I asked her if there was a billing number I could call in case I didn't have the 299 on the third and she gave me a number to call in case I needed an extension which is 1866-812-9987. She said to call 2 days in advance. So I called this morning and was suprised to find that the mailbox to the number I called was full. I tried calling the number that showed up on my caller ID which is 416-481-1538 and that number was unreachable. So I called the 866 number again and was once again suprised, there was a new recording on with a guy saying, please leave your name, number, blah blah blah.
By this time I'm really angry and I decided to email them. Come to find out, the only result I got with the name United Card Services was with the bad business bureau. Thank God for this site. So I called my bank and put a freeze on my account.
Advice: even if you put a stop payment on the amount United Card Services can always request less or more to be debited. You can only put a stop payment on exact amounts. After that was done I called the 866 number again and left a nice message that went something like this, hello this is Katherine, ha ha ha ha,ha ha ha ha, tried to fool me, I got you first, ha ha ha ha, you're all going to hell, you can't have any of my money...you all get the message.
This website really helped me, I hope my story can help someone too. They sound so professional and helpful and concerned. I think this is an example from the bible, "devil in sheeps clothing". If you did get scammed, don't worry, all those people who work for United Card Services are all perverts, child molestors, murderers, necrophiliacs, zoophiles (has sex with animals), the lowest form of humans. They can actually sleep at night knowing what they do. It'll be a cold day in hell before those jerks get any money from me. I hope you all can get your money back. Good people always come out on top.

SUBMITTED: Monday, July 07, 2003POSTED: Monday, July 07, 2003
My suggestion to you is to try and help bring these con artists to justice. As it is, reports have already been filed with the Attorney General, FCC, FTC about your company. Its only a matter of time before UCS comes crashing down. Will you go down with it? Your excuse of feeding your family will be null and void.
You could clear your conscience by helping give out info about the real company address,company head, owner's phone number...etc. And as an added incentive, we could set up a fund where we could donate some money for your efforts. If everyone who got scammed gave you $10 from their refunded money, it could add up to quite a bit of money. If 1000 people get their refunds, you could make $10,000. That would be enough to feed your family till you get another job. And this would be honest money, not what you are making right now.
Send a rebuttal if you agree with this plan.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

In a competition considered the olympics of hacking, UC Santa Barbara's resident hackers -- team Shellphish -- took home the bronze this year.
Shellphish pitted their skills against cyber-security experts from across the country to become one of the top teams in the 2016 Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) Cyber Grand Challenge (CGC). The team of UCSB computer science graduate students emerged third overall, taking $750,000 in addition to the $750,000 cash prize they won for qualifying for the finals in Las Vegas.
What's in a game? That question is addressed by an article in The UCSB Current newlsetter titled "Catch 'em All," which explores the popular, viral online mobile game Pokémon Go. Players must provide location and, in some cases, personal information (when signing in through a Google account, for example), which creates the very real potential for leaked information. What's more, hackers seeking to cash in on the phenomenon have created fake companion apps or launched an attack on the servers.
CS Professor Tevfik Bultan is serving as General Chair of the Organizing Committee for the 2017 ACM SIGSOFT International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis.
Professor Matthew Turk has been named Program Co-Chair for the 2017 IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV), the premier forum for computer vision researchers working on systems and algorithms effective for real-world applications of imaging and pattern recognition. The conference covers all areas of computer vision and will be held from March 24-31, 2017 at the Hyatt Vineyard Creek Hotel, Santa Rosa, CA.
Capital Press, the West's ag website, features an interview with Professor Chandra Krintz about her SmartFarm project that aims to help growers use data and technology to make their operations more efficient.
Said Krintz in the article, "It's Amazon.com for ag. "Amazon was the first example of a smart shop...We want to do something analogous to that with SmartFarm."

I really hope that is was because he did not understand the warnings. Although very obvious to most, some people may have no idea what red flags mean. Sadly enough more strong full moon rip tides.
Posted by Ryan on July 22, 2013 17:48
I think that in addition there should be the same "no entry" signs as they have for roads which as far as I know is understood the world over.
Posted by Fiesty Farang on July 22, 2013 18:21
People who travel half way across the world to have a beach holiday are hell bent on having one and some ignore the dangers.
Posted by ThaiMike on July 22, 2013 18:22
Being warned. ..He didn't understood...red flags...find something else...give pitbulls to the lifguards. ..People will maybe be scared...so sad case again...rip sir...

Are they called RIP tides because they are so deadly (RIP BTW) or because they literally rip your body to shreds?
Posted by apichart wongsuwan on July 22, 2013 19:21
Editor Comment:
More to do, I think, with ''ripping'' from the shore.
I have been reading comments about the lack of warning signs on the beach lately, and it seems that the authorities and lifeguards are getting blamed each time there is a drowning on phuket beach. With no disrespect, the biggest "warning sign" that it is not safe to swim are the waves themselves. I am sure those getting in the water are seeing how big the waves are and it is common sense that if you are not a good swimmer you should not go in the water or you should not surf. I work on the west coast of the island for 2 years now and I can see how big the waves are in the low season. I am surprised why tourists keep ignoring this and keep putting their lives in danger. I dont think it is ignorance! Again, with no disrespect to the victims and their families, the victims have to take most of the blame for what is happening. There are limited things authorities and lifeguards can do to prevent these tragedies. The media is doing their part by reporting how dangerous phuket waters are in the low season, but many people are still not paying attention!
Posted by John on July 22, 2013 19:44
Editor Comment:
We will try to find out whether this man was warned at the place where he was staying. It's a mistake, though, to presume other people have any knowledge about the beach and its moods. Distinguishing a good day for swimming from a bad day for swimming requires experience. Many visitors to Phuket do not know or understand anything about beaches, except that they have paid for a beach holiday and they are going to have one. Saving lives has more to do with repetitive warnings at the airport, in person on check-in and at the beach. Every resort on Phuket should really have somewhere in the foyer close to the entrance a changeable sign to alert people whether its safe or unsafe to swim.
I am a surfer at Kata Beach, and many of the Lifeguards are my friends..All these Lifeguards do a great job!...
Posted by Anonymous on July 22, 2013 20:57
Editor Comment:
What we don't know is whether this person was warned at the place where they were staying. Lifeguards say they can't do it alone, so a series of warnings is what's required - particularly by those who benefit from having beach holiday tourists come to Phuket in the low season. ''Arrests'' are a partial solution in developed countries where there is no shortage of police. For now on Phuket, what's required is a serious community attempt at dissuading people from swimming on danger days. That means the people who profit most from the tourists being here also must become key players in saving their lives.
Editor..I understand your point, but if i am at the beach, and i am getting ready to go in the ocean, and i see all these red flags, and then i am warned several times by the Lifeguards not to go swimming, because its dangerous, i think i know what i would do...NOT GO IN!....just sayin'...

1. apichart wongsuwan, there is NO such thing as a rip tide, it is a rip current.
Posted by Phuket_IOC on July 22, 2013 21:53
i know some lifeguards from the beach and what i think needs to be mentioned is that their work is not appreciated, neither by the local government nor by swim-hungry tourists. they are underpaid, have old equipment, even their uniforms are not replaced... and some tourists even start a fight when they dont agree on the red flags. of course only until the lifeguards rescue them, than its a different story...
Posted by Jakub on July 22, 2013 23:24
Ed, you are probably going to blast me for this comment but as another reader stated in Calif you get arrested. In Australia were you and I have lived you have many Asian tourists who are not good swimmers especially around Cairns and the big beaches further south Sunshine Coast, Surfers Paradise, Bondi but very rarely do you have a death. I am not sure if you can get arrested but I am sure if the Thai Police were called then people would come out of the water at the sight of Police in uniform. Like many things in Phuket unless it has a direct loss of tourist revenue not enough is done. Life is cheap in Thailand not the same as the US and Australia. I am surprised at myself for writing these harse words but many people who have lived here a long time will agree with me. Let's cut to the point and hope Police can intervene to save lives.

I was walking along Karon Beach second half of June this year and I saw a guy walk down into the water followed by his girlfriend, straight towards a Rip Current. He went out dunked down in shallows and then kept heading out. I yelled at him and pointed to the out going froth that was indicating the Rip (GF stopped in shallows). He looked and obviously didn't understand. I made gestures with my arm to indicate he would be pulled out, as I walked towards him getting closer and still yelling. Finally he yells "is there a problem". I said "Yes you are swimming straight into a F'n big Rip". He looked behind out to sea and I doubt he was any the wiser. He didn't respond. He walked out adjusting his hair and I walked on. Just to clarify the Rip doesn't pull you under, if you can't swim it takes you out of your depth and if you can swim and try and swim beachwards against it exhausts you. Swim calmly parallel to the beach until out of the Rip and then swim beachwards. If you can't swim stay out of big waves, and don't go past your knees to cool off. You can walk out and if there is a gutter (a trench running parallel to beach) or a Hole ou can go from waste deep to way above your head in a single step. Be safe take care.

@Phuket_IOC the full moon creates much larger tides than usual, sometimes by several meters. The tide still takes roughly 6 hours to go in and out, with so much more water involved around the time of a full moon how do you suppose rips will be unchanged? Ofcorse rips will be bigger, all that extra water has to get back out to sea somehow

Editor Comment:
On the other hand, it's entirely possible that the rips disappear in a king tide and the water flows back and forth in other ways. The drownings in bad seas are not always due to rips. In some cases, people simply get knocked off their feet. We welcome an expert's view on how Phuket's tides behave at different times.
The problem now in Phuket, unlike in the past, is it has become numbers game..

Needless drownings can be prevented - by those responsible for enticing the tourists to come on Phuket beach holidays at the wrong time.
riptide (n) 1. also called:rip. a stretch of turbulent water in the sea, caused by the meeting of currents. 2. Also called: rip current.

The lessons from Australia and California are fully understood but the manpower and available equipment are vastly different.
@S... I suggest you do your homework, before trying to "outsmart" me. you are correct in stating tides can rise and fall by several metres, but they move too slowly to create rips, this is a fact.
Posted by Phuket_IOC on July 23, 2013 13:28
@ Phuket_IOC. Water escapes mainly where the bottom is deepest - the rip channels. Also the extra water from a several meter tide.

Editor Comment:
The tsunami on the Phang Nga coast was an exceptionally ''high tide'' but the water behaved uncharacteristically and circled in a washing machine fashion close to shore, picking up debris (including bodies) from one spot and depositing everything elsewhere. I am not sure beach currents behave the same way from day to day and season to season, let alone in abnormal tides where the water flow increases - how much? Fifty percent? My hunch is that rips are of no consequence, swamped by volume and power, and the underwater map of the beach is redrawn.
@Sherlock, you are another one who does not do any research, the tide, on any beach goes out at the same rate, it does NOT channel itself into a single point, to form a rip current, a rip current is formed by the action of waves and the shoreline. From USA l;ifesaving Assoc. "As waves travel from deep to shallow water, they will break near the shoreline. When waves break strongly in some locations and weakly in others, this can cause circulation cells which are seen as rip currents: narrow, fast-moving belts of water traveling offshore."
Posted by Phuket_IOC on July 23, 2013 15:41
@ Phuket_IOC. But the water from the tide for some unknown reason is unable to mix up with these narrow, fast-moving belts of water traveling offshore, I understand now.

I am gravely concerned by the image of two lifeguards standing next to the body of the victim, apparently already having given up any resuscitation attempt. I have worked in EMS in Thailand and the states. The protocols are the same at both. A resuscitation attempt should never be called in the field, especially by lifeguards which have very basic training. Ambulances are only a few minutes away and there are many cases in which a lifeless body has been pulled from water and, after CPR, been revived. Even the basic levels of medically trained people are supposed to know this.
Posted by NomadJoeDiver on July 23, 2013 23:03
Slickmelb, true and so sad, that body count still grows, unfortunately because it happens so often, we are becoming a little desensitised.

I tend to agree with ThaiMike. TAT needs to stop marketing Phuket as an all year round beach paradise. Its not and is dangerous to do so. When marketed in this way, once the tourists get here they expect to swim at the beach regardless of the conditions
Posted by Damien on July 24, 2013 09:13
Editor Comment:
Does the TAT market Phuket that way? I'd welcome seeing the evidence.
on very dangerous days, the lifeguards could add blag flags or stripes below the red flag, indicating numbers of people that have died in the last N months, or a board with actual pictures and dates.

Mazda is well known for its long-running Zoom-Zoom tagline, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. This week, however, the Japanese automaker is kicking off a new campaign centering on the idea that its cars are truly driver oriented.
"The campaign strives to underscore Mazda's devotion to creating exceptionally fun-to-drive, well-crafted vehicles, with the phrase, 'we don't build cars for everyone; we build cars for people who care about what they drive'," said Don Romano, chief marketing officer, Mazda North America.
A simple question is posed at the beginning of the spot, asking consumers "What do you drive?" Throughout the advertisement, Mazda strives to make consumers reflect on their current vehicle and whether it does anything to excite them. It insists Mazda's lineup is unlike the competition and is truly built with the driver in mind. Boxy household appliances and a cookie press are utilized to drive home the point that its competitor's designs are bland and detached from customer desires.
Mazda's passion for driving is apparent and conveyed over the course of the commercial. Footage from the automaker's racing heritage is seen throughout, as are drivers shifting through the gears of manual transmissions.
Never wavering from its initial goal of producing a driver's car, Mazda will continue the theme with its new ad campaign that kicks off tonight. It will be aired in both 30 and 60-second versions on a variety of primetime programs. The ads also appear on YouTube, Facebook, and Hulu. Take a minute to watch the ad and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Edwin Camp, Ph.D. awarded May 2012 (Comparative Politics, Empirical Methods, Formal Theory) Website
Dissertation: Tending to the Barrio: Broker Motivation and the Electoral Success of Political Machines (Advisor(s): Susan Stokes, John Roemer, and Thad Dunning)
Currently, I am a Visiting Professor in the Department of Government at Dartmouth College. I use formal theory and multiple empirical methods to address substantively important questions about democratic development, distributive politics, and political parties. My research focuses on a fundamental question for development in electoral democracies: why do elected leaders abandon or limit the use of clientelism? Clientelism is a prominent form of distributive politics in developing democracies, in which political parties direct resources to voters who must provide political support in exchange for the resources. By identifying challenges for party leaders who use clientelism, my research provides insight into why elected candidates, those who have the power to shift away from clientelist exchange, would also have the motivation to do so. I am the recipient of the Annie G.K. Garland Memorial Fellowship (2010), the MacMillan Center Dissertation Research Grant (2009), the George Walter Leitner Felllowship (2009), and the Agrarian Studies Fellowship (2006). My research has been published in the British Journal of Political Science (forthcoming), and Legislative Studies Quarterly (2014).
Stefan Eich, Ph.D. expected May 2016 (History of Political Thought, Political Theory, International Political Economy) Website
Dissertation: The Currency of Justice: The Politics of Money in the History of Political Thought
My research and teaching program is rooted in political theory and the history of political thought with special interests in the political theory of the economy. In my dissertation, entitled "The Currency of Justice: The Politics of Money in the History of Political Thought," I recover the way currency has played a decisive role in the history of political thought since Aristotle and consider its implications for contemporary political theory. Prior to Yale, I graduated with first-class degrees from the University of Oxford (B.A. in Philosophy, Politics and Economics) and the University of Cambridge (M.Phil. in Political Thought and Intellectual History).
Blake Emerson, Ph.D. expected May 2016 (Political Theory, American Politics)
Dissertation: Between Public Law and Public Sphere: An American Progressive Theory of the Administrative State
My research focuses on the relationship between German and American political thought. My dissertation develops a normative theory of the administrative state from American progressives who were influenced by German state theory. I received the Edgar M. Cullen Prize for the Best Paper by a First Year Law Student at Yale Law School in 2011. I also received an Honorable Mention for the Best Paper in Law and Courts Award from the American Political Science Association in 2013. My research has been published in Philosophy & Social Criticism (2013) and in The Review of Politics (forthcoming 2015).
Nikhar Gaikwad, Ph.D. expected May 2016 (International and Comparative Political Economy, International Relations, Comparative Politics, South Asian Politics) Website
Dissertation: Ethnic Politics and Economic Policy: Theory and Evidence from India
My dissertation explores how the presence of identity politics creates regulatory capture and influences the dynamics of economic policymaking in ethnically divided polities. Over twenty years after pledging to break down governmental barriers to trade and investment, developing countries such as India remain among the most protected economies in the world. I argue that societal coalition theories of economic policymaking fail to adequately explicate policymaking dynamics because they underestimate the role of identity politics in the electoral arena. My dissertation develops and tests a new theoretical framework of political competition that helps explain observed sources of regulatory capture across culturally segmented polities. My research has been funded by the Social Science Research Council, International Growth Center, The Tobin Project, and several centers at Yale. I received the David A. Lake Award for the Best Paper presented at the 2014 International Political Economy Society Annual Meeting. My work has been published or is forthcoming in the American Journal of Political Science and the Quarterly Journal of Political Science.
Anna Jurkevics, Ph.D. expected May 2016 (modern European political thought, critical theory, and democratic theory) Website
Dissertation: Cosmopolitan Territories: Land, Jurisdiction, and International Law (Advisors: Seyla Benhabib)
I am a political theorist interested in modern European political thought, critical theory, and democratic theory. In my research I investigate political geography and the politics of place in the history of political thought as well as contemporary political theory. My dissertation, Cosmopolitan Territories: Land, Jurisdiction, and International Law, seeks to revive territorial thinking for cosmopolitan critical theory. Some of this research, "Hannah Arendt Reads Carl Schmitt's Nomos of the Earth," has been accepted for publication at the European Journal of Political Theory. I have been funded by the Zeit-Stiftung's Bucerius PhD Fellowship in Migration Studies, and prior to attending Yale, I received a B.A. in German Studies and Political Science from the University of Pennsylvania (2008).
Bolek Z. Kabala, Ph.D. expected May 2016 (Political Philosophy, Contemporary Theory, and American Politics) Website
Dissertation: Hobbes, The New Secular Clerisy, and Spinoza's Concern (Advisor(s): Professors Steven B. Smith (advisor), Bryan Garsten, and Karuna Mantena)
I study political philosophy with a particular emphasis on the theologico-political problem. I am also interested in political theology, the history of political thought, and critical theory. My dissertation reads Spinoza as responding to the possibility in Hobbes, noted by Mark Lilla, that government is a "prize for the spiritually ambitious." Prior to attending Yale I also studied Hobbes and Spinoza at Harvard, where I received an A.B. in Social Studies. After graduating from Harvard I served for two years as Deputy Press Secretary for Governor Haley Barbour. I have published several short pieces on national politics, and I am working on submitting for peer review an article on toleration and Independency in mid-17th century England
Malte Lierl, Ph.D. expected May 2015 (Comparative Politics, Political Economy, Methods) Website
Dissertation: Informal Governance: Enforcement and Accountability under Weak Institutions (Advisors: Thad Dunning (chair), Gregory Huber, Delia Baldassarri)
My research focuses on the political economy of governance under weak institutions, especially in the context of local-level governance in developing countries. In my dissertation, I examine how social sanctioning capacity and reputational mechanisms in Tanzanian villages influence the co-production of public goods by citizens and local leaders. This project is based on behavioral experiments (involving local leaders and ordinary citizens), surveys, and open-ended interviews and administrative data. Additionally, I am pursuing several large-scale policy experiments on municipal government accountability in collaboration with the government of Burkina Faso and the World Bank, as well as other ongoing research. My work has been funded by competitive grants from the Russell Sage Foundation, the World Bank, and other institutions.
Matthew Longo, Ph.D. awarded May 2014 (Contemporary Theory, Political Philosophy, Comparative Politics, Middle East Politics) Website
Dissertation: Sovereignty in the Age of Securitization: A Study on Borders and Bordering in the United States after 9/11 (Advisor(s): Seyla Benhabib (chair), James C. Scott, Paulina Ochoa)
My dissertation focuses on borders, sovereignty and citizenship, after 9/11. Drawing from qualitative research on contemporary US bordering policy and practice, I reveal borders to be increasingly thick, multi-faceted and bi-national – rather than thin, legal-topographical instantiations of state sovereignty. This re-conceptualization has great normative and geo-political significance: when states co-manage their borders in a shared battle against global flows, sovereignty at the border becomes paradoxically both joint and empty. I am the recipient of the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, as well as grants from the Institute for Social and Policy Studies and the MacMillan Center at Yale.
Rebecca Nielsen, Ph.D. expected May 2015 (Comparative Politics, Political Economy, Quantitative Methods) Website
Dissertation: War, Networks and Women in Politics: Female Secret Societies in Sierra Leone and Liberia (Advisors: Elisabeth Wood (co-chair), Thad Dunning (co-chair), Dara Cohen)
I study political development, violent conflict, religion and magic. My dissertation examines the differential impact of civil war on widespread 'secret society' organizations in West Africa and traces subsequent levels of women's local and national political integration. Data collection for this project, including twelve months of fieldwork in Sierra Leone and Liberia, received support from the National Science Foundation and the Yale MacMillan Center. My other research activities include a project on the perverse consequences of NGO and INGO development interventions, and a study of why some armed groups choose to adopt supernatural weapons.
Shmuel Nili, Ph.D. expected May 2016 (Political Theory)
Dissertation: A Theory of Global Injustice (Advisors: Thomas Pogge, Ian Shapiro, Seyla Benhabib) Website
My main research focuses on the moral assessment of global politics. This focus is informed by social science, by the history of political thought, and by a methodological emphasis on the practical task of political philosophy.
My dissertation develops a methodological framework for analyzing global injustice that is independent of theories of perfect justice, around which much of contemporary political philosophy revolves. I illustrate the value of this framework by delving into under-explored moral dilemmas surrounding natural resource trade with authoritarian regimes.
Articles related to the dissertation have been published/are forthcoming in several journals, including The American Political Science Review; The Journal of Politics; The Journal of Political Philosophy; Politics, Philosophy & Economics; and International Theory.
Articles related to my secondary research interests have been published/are forthcoming in History of Political Thought, Review of International Studies, and International Studies Review, among others.
Steven Rosenzweig, Ph.D. expected May 2016 (Comparative Politics, Political Economy, Quantitative Methods)
Dissertation: The Logic of Political Violence in Electoral Competition (Advisors: Thad Dunning (chair), Susan Stokes, Kate Baldwin, Steven Wilkinson) Website
I study comparative politics and the political economy of development, with a particular focus on political violence, government accountability, distributive politics, and the politics of sub-Saharan Africa. I also have an interest in causal inference and research methods. My dissertation investigates the logic of political violence in electoral competition, analyzing why politicians use violence as a electoral tactic and how it affects voting behavior. To answer these questions, I have conducted extensive fieldwork in Kenya, gathering original data from a series of survey experiments and qualitative interviews with Kenyan voters and politicians. My research has been supported by the MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies, the Leitner Program in International and Comparative Political Economy, and the Yale Council on African Studies. Previous work has been published in Electoral Studies.
Rachel Silbermann, Ph.D. awarded May 2014 (American Politics and Quantitative Methods) Website
Dissertation: Three Essays on Gender and American Politics (Advisor(s): Alan Gerber, Gregory Huber, John Bullock)
I am currently a lecturer at Yale. I am interested in American politics, institutions, political behavior, and gender and politics. My dissertation uses observational and survey research, survey experiments, and qualitative studies to address why so few women run for political office in the United States. In survey experiments and in observational studies of state legislators and candidates, I find that women in districts farther away from state capitals are less likely to run for political office, illustrating important structural constraints on women's representation. My work has been published in the Quarterly Journal of Political Science. My Scholar's Strategy Network Profile can be found here: http://www.scholarsstrategynetwork.org/scholar-profile/1191

Cross-Nativity Marriages and Human Capital Levels of Children
A common perception about immigrant assimilation is that association with natives necessarily speeds the process by which immigrants become indistinguishable from natives. Using 2000 Census data, this paper casts doubt on this presumption by examining the effect of an immigrant's marriage to a native, a measure of social integration, on dropout rates of children from these marriages. Although second-generation immigrants with one native parent generally have lower dropout rates than those with two foreign-born parents, the relationship reverses when steps are taken to control for observable and unobservable background characteristics. That is, immigrants that marry natives have children that are more likely to dropout of high school than immigrants that marry other immigrants. Moreover, gender differences in the effect of marriage to a native disappear in specifications which control for the endogeneity of the marriage decision.

I bought this as a gift for my 11 year old son. The shirt itself is quality material but the numbers are only screened on as opposed to being stitched on. I wasn't expecting stitched numbers for this price, but my guess is they will start to wear off after several washings. This shirt suited my purpose as my son will probably outgrow it before the numbers wear off.
