your fat intake sounds fine to me. have you read up on intermittent fasting?
it helped my blast through my plateau
Okay so I started tracking macronutrients after having a few weeks without losing weight and even a slight gain (after an awesome start with weight loss after going primal).
Using Fit Day, it seems that about 50-70% of my (calories? or diet?) are fat. I seem to be in the definately over 100 grams range but ususally under 200 grams of fat daily. My carbs are in the 50-87 grams range, protein in the 80-90 grams range. Need to loose 25 lbs to be considered "normal weight" again for my height (after the initial 12 lb loss). I am 5'8", 187 lbs, female.
Is 100-200 grams too much fat? I can't seem to find any mention of how much fat is too much on MDA.
Primal history (FYI): went primal about a month and a half ago. Lost 12 lbs in a month & half. Doing good on my exercise (barring snow here), getting in about 5 days a week (2 primal lifting, 2-3 play/cardio, and sprint when I can, weather permitting since I can't run on ice/snow). Have recently given up dairy too.
I am very committed to being primal and not going back, however I have found that my mood was certainly better in the first month than it is now. I was incredibly positive and happy during my first month going primal, and now am so-so again. Not unhappy particularly, but not over joyed like I was in my first month. I felt so incredible then, that I am wondering what I can do to get back there?
Any thoughts about fat intake and happiness???

We need to have a global discussion about the epidemic of donut murder
Starting Weight: 238 lb
Current Weight: 224 lb
Goal: 190-200 lb
Height: 6'-0"
Age: 27
Are you sure your not just bummed that your not loosing weight? I say ignore the scale and find a pair of jeans to measure your weight loss with or I like to take pics than you really see the changes. I lost weight gained half of it back then lost it plus 2#'s but I gained weight cause of muscle I definitely didnt get bigger as I could tell by my clothes. Weight yourself about 1 time a month but dont stress on numbers.
In a reply to the weight loss: Nope. Since the slight gain I have lost another 4 lbs and am still losing now....so nothing to be bummed about there
Just not feeling as wonderful as I was in the beginning. I felt on top of the world then. And now, better than my pre-primal "normal" but not constantly wonderful anymore.
But am really wondering how much fat is too much to lose weight? I was kinda thinking that maybe my fat intake was too low, and thus putting a damper on my mood, but maybe not.....
IF is rather hard for me, tried it twice, got through a couple hours, then had to eat as I just couldn't take it anymore. I know that is not how its supposed to go, but......I was REALLY hungry and getting very cranky. So I pulled the plug. No need to get cranky I figured.
ya, didnt notice you signed up last month. you should wait a few months before ifing.

I only if on accident. Sometimes I eat certain fatty meats and I just cant eat for a while. That happens like once a month tho. Are you drinking enough water? I sometimes feel not as upbeat if Im dehydrated.
Your fat is fine--I eat around 70%. Your carbs and/or calories may need to come down for fat loss.

i'm usually at 60% fat using fitday.

When we originally published our 7970 content on January 9th 2012 it wasn't possible to run Quad CrossFire with the 7970 and MSI's new X79 Big Bang XPower 2 motherboard. The configuration simply wasn't enabled. That changed overnight with a new BIOS from MSI and new driver from AMD (dated 5th January) which allowed us to test 4×7970 in CrossFire.
Just to be sure we ran 3DMark with all four cards attached and the result we achieved is shown above. Exceptional results considering a single GTX 580 or Radeon 6990 score X2100 and X3500 respectively.
Power use increased from 664w in 3 card mode to 892w in quad configuration and we also noted that the power down feature of the driver/hardware was working without issue on all four cards. Essentially only the first remained active at the desktop with the other three shutting down and remaining completely silent.
So the only remaining test was to run a game and see if the good 3DMark scaling could be replicated in gameplay and for this we chose Shogun 2 as it was one of the games which already scaled well into 3 GPUs…
Shogun 2 was tested at 5760×1080 with no AA, 16xAF and all other settings at their maximum.
It won't be the same for every game as the drivers are still very clearly maturing but AMD have quad scalling working well in Shogun 2. We were able to increase our average and minimum framerates by around 10fps and the maximum by even more.
Here are examples of how the game looks at our tested settings.

How Rasmussen Fooled Doping ControlBy Jessica | Add a Comment »
Just a little funny video the husband found about Michael Rasmussen's apparent training methods prior to the Tour de France last year… It won't even matter if you don't understand Dutch.

Milano-Sanremo 2008 PhotosBy Jessica | 1 Comment »
Hi, remember me?
No, I haven't forgotten about the Cycling Logue. I've just been very, very, very busy. One of those "verys" involves what I keep calling "Project Italy," wherein I and the husband are working on relocating to Italy. We've got visa paperwork in progress, but there's no telling how long that could take. In the meantime, we did spend six weeks in Italy earlier in the Spring - we based ourselves in a Milan apartment, and I made a few research trips to other Italian cities for the Italy travel guide that I write. At any rate, during that trip, we were fortunate enough to catch the start of Milano-Sanremo - and I was fortunate enough to have a massive memory card in my camera.
We got lucky with a great spot right next to the stage where the riders were signing in, so I got lots (and I do mean lots) of photos - I think it was somewhere in the 550 range after just a couple of hours of standing there - and I got even more lucky that some of them were even in focus! Here are a few of my favorites.
Paolo Bettini's a little blurry, but he's the world champion. It just means he's going really fast.

High Road's Big DayBy Ashton | Add a Comment »
Team High Road's Kim Kirchen won the 72nd and Gregory Henderson won le Tour de Georgia's third stage as the sun crossed another continent later that same day. Those victories continued the string commenced about a week earlier as sprinter Mark Cavendish repeated as winner of Scheldeprijs Vlaanderen. High Road's success has not quite equaled that enjoyed so far this year by CSC and Quick Step, but the remnants of the former T-Mobile squad evidently has decided to try to prove that it is worthy of a sponsor.
All that bodes well as the Georgia Tour heads into the mountains. In addition to strong Gerolsteiner and CSC (who also is riding hard to win a new sponsor next year) teams, High Road faces an Astana team that still is trying to prove it should not have been left out of le Tour de France and the other UCI events. Throw in highly motivated continental teams like Toyota United and Health Net, and more Georgia fire works certainly are in store.

A Cavendish CavalcadeBy Ashton | 1 Comment »
Mark Cavendish, the Team High Road sprinter from Great Britain who made his name riding indoor tracks, won the second and third stages of the Three Days of De Panne and followed it with a respectable finish in the closing time trial. Cavendish had to sprint from deep in the pack to win the second stage, reminiscent of one of Robbie McEwen's finishes after a crach or puncture in the Tour de France last year. He had to manufacture a gap near the end of the third stage, barely easing out Liquigas' Francesco Chicchi, after near constant bumping and pusing among the sprinters in the last 600-800 meters. Rabobank's Joost Posthuma edged out Manuel Quinziato of Liquigas by two seconds for the General Classification Championship by virtue of his dominating performance in the closing time trial. Any fan would enjoy watching the finish of Stages 2 and 3a of this exciting race.

Upcoming races and their profiles!By Brett | Add a Comment »
February 17-24 is the Tour of California, which begins with a Prologue in Palo Alto.
March 1 is the Omloop Het Volk, which kicks off the Spring Classics. With Filippo Pozzato as the defending champion, it should be a good indicator of the condition of the Cobblestone warriors.
March 2 is the Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne. Tom Boonen won last year's edition after finishing 3rd the previous day in the Omloop.
March 8 is the Monte Paschi Eroica, potentially the next great Spring Classic. The first edition, held on October 9, 2007, was won by Alexandr Kolobnev of Team CSC. Since then, the race has been moved up to this early date to fall in line with the Spring Classics.
March 9-16 is Paris - Nice, but they have yet to release the route details, but they have released the Stages:
Prologue Sunday, March 9th 9.3 km Amilly TT
Stage 1 Monday, March 10th TBA km Amilly-Nevers
Stage 2 Tuesday, March 11th TBA km Nevers-Belleville/Saone
Stage 3 Wednesday, March 12th TBA km Fleurie-Saint-Étienne
Stage 4 Thursday, March 13th TBA km Montélimar-Mont-Serein (Ventoux)
Stage 5 Friday, March 14th TBA km Althen-des-Paluds-Sisteron
Stage 6 Saturday, March 15th TBA km Sisteron-Cannes
Stage 7 Sunday, March 16th TBA km Nice-Nice
March 12-18 is Tirreno-Adriatico, won last year by Andreas Kloden:
Stage 1 Wednesday, March 12th CIVITAVECCHIA-CIVITAVECCHIA (Km 160)
Stage 2 Thursday, March 13th CIVITAVECCHIA-GUBBIO (Km 203)
Stage 3 Friday, March 14th GUBBIO-MONTELUPONE (Km 195)
Stage 4 Saturday, March 15th PORTO RECANATI-CIVITANOVA MARCHE (Km 167)
Stage 5 Sunday, March 16th MACERATA-RECANATI (crono individuale) (Km 26)
Stage 6 Monday, March 17th CIVITANOVA MARCHE-CASTELFIDARDO (Km 196)
Stage 7 Tuesday, March 18th S. BENEDETTO DEL TRONTO-S.BENEDETTO DEL TRONTO (Km 176)
All of this will lead up to Milan-Sanremo, on March 22, which is one of the best sprinter's races. The profile hasn't been released yet for the 2008 Edition, but should be very similar to this. Our roving reporter, Jessie, will be there for coverage….

Quick Step's Qatar QuestBy Ashton | Add a Comment »
Team Quick Step sent a very strong team to Qatar, obviously intent to have Tom Boonen leave wearing the winner's Gold Jersey. They have made their intentions known at every step so far.
David Millar obviously wanted to make a statement with his new team Slipstream/Chipotle. He practically dragged his following four riders across the finish line of the Qatar Prolog with the then-fastest finishing time, five seconds ahead of Skil-Shimano and six seconds faster than the experienced Liquigas Squad. But Boonen was not to be outdone. Quick Step probably found partial seconds in their skilled maneuvering of the several round-abouts on the course and then Boonen muscled his team to the finish to take first place two seconds faster than Slipstream. Matteo Tosatto crossed the line first, but only after Boonen made a long pull up front down the stretch.
Quick Step evidently came to Qatar determined to control every aspect of this race. They have stayed at or near the front in each of the first two stages setting a tempo that has stretched the Pelaton for at least the last 10km, if not longer. Several other teams have tried to establish their trains at the finish, but they either have attacked too early or too late and Boonen has captured the bonus seconds by winning each of the first two sprints.
The hi lites available at cycling.tv definiitely are worth watching because the pressure starts at the beginning of each race day and never relents. It will be interesting to see whether Quick Step can maintain the pace necessary to win every stage because it looks like no one will be able to catch Boonen at this point.

Team High Road Wins TDU's 2nd StageBy Ashton | 1 Comment »
German rider Andre Greipel frustrated all the local riders by outsprinting them to the finish of the second state of Australia's Tour Down Under. This represents the first stage win for Team High Road under its present name. Here a link to the UK's Daily Telegraph video that includes the finish.
Australian rider Graeme Brown of the Rabobank team now leads the GC, followed by Greipel, Stage One winner Mark Renshaw, and Caisse D'Epargne's Jose Rojas, who all are four seconds back. Mickael Buffaz (Cofidis) remains the points classification leader and Philippe Gilbert (Francaise Des Jeux) still leads the mountains classification.

Credit Agricole's Mark Renshaw Wins First Stage of Tour of AustraliaBy Ashton | Add a Comment »
The Australian outsprinted Spaniard Jose Rojas of Caisse d'Epargne to take his first tour victory on his native soil in the first stage raced in 2008. Cycling.tv broadcast only about 25 minutes of hilites, but here is a link to the official race complete report.
It wasn't in real time but it certainly was good to see some actual racing again after these past three months of doping and political reports. I am sure all of us hope to avoid a season like last year's that was filled with repeated, unpleasant interruptions.
Terry McEwen was seen living the true spirit of cycling, taking water bottles up to his teammates in the middle of a stage that almost certainly was going to end in a sprint. Team High Road was hilited by Phil and Paul during their coverage, but they did not play any major parts in the race or the finish today.
A three man break consiting of the Australian Team's Richie Porte, Cofidis' Mickael Buffaz, and Dimitri Champion from Bouygues Telecom stayed away for about 75 km and was brought back in about 8 km before the finish. I seem to recall Buffaz took maximun points with Champion finishing second at both of the intermediate sprints. Philippe Gilbert of Francaise Des Jeux won the King of the Mountain points on the one substantial climb of the day.
It sure is good to have the boys back on their bikes.

Welcome Back Pro Tour Cycling With The Tour Down UnderBy Ashton | Add a Comment »
The Down Under's first stage will kick off on Tuesday, January 22nd, and the Tour Down Under Classic on Sunday, January 20th. A full field will be competing, including local favorites CSC's Stuart O'Grady and Robby McEwen of the Lotto team. CheChu (Jose Luis Rubiera) will make his Team Astana debut. This also will be my first chance to see Team High Road.
After a full winter of almost nothing but stories about doping and with Bama Basketball looking like it's heading toward the tank, I can hardly wait to watch some live road racing again. So break out your bike if the weather is right in your area, peddal those cobwebs off the rusty muscles and joints, grab a mug of hot cider or a cup of coffee, and let's get ready to enjoy The Tour Down Under together.
I can hardly wait!

New North American Team With A Special TwistBy Ashton | Add a Comment »
Team Type 1 consists exclusively of riders who suffer from Type 1 Diabetes. Here is a link to their official web site. According to a recent Cycling News report, Team Type 1 intends to participate in North American UCI sanctioned races during the 2008 season.
I sure hope the entire story is true. Cycling could use some good news.

Homeowners Insurance in North Carolina – NC
Before you move to purchase your home owners insurance in North Carolina, you need to do a bit of research. This will save you a lot of money and get the best coverage policy for your home. You can check out the state department of insurance website on the internet. The site provides a lot of information in regards to home insurance. The site even offers you the ability to quote your personal homeowners insurance policy. The quote serves as a guide when you are negotiating with the insurance agents. Bear in mind that the quote is only a point of reference because the debits and credits applied by the insurance companies depend on the risks and other factors.
If you want to get a good cost deal, you can decide to increase the security of your home. You can decide to adopt certain security measures such as installing smoke detector alarms, burglar proof doors, getting a neighbor hood security patrol, home alarm system that can notify the police or fire station in times of emergency.
In case you are unable to obtain an appropriate coverage by an insurer you can approach the Fair Access to Insurance Requirements plan (FAIR). This FAIR plan was created to provide property insurance to homeowners who are incapable of getting insurance from the conventional markets. However, the provided covers are not as broad as those in the normal market and they tend to have higher premiums.
The FAI is capable of insuring almost all types of property. In case a hazard is noticed at the time of inspection the homeowner is given a specific period of time to get rid of the hazard before FAIR provides the coverage. There is a mandatory deductible of $500 or higher.
The FAIR plan will provide coverage to the entire state of North Carolina with the exception of the islands adjoining the Atlantic Ocean. A different program referred to as the Beach Plan covers homeowners in these barrier islands.
The Beach Plan necessitates that any property that was built after January 1970 to be in agreement with the North Carolina building regulations. The coverage is generally close to the actual cash value of the home building without replacement costs. Furthermore it is provided for hail and windstorm only unless the home is located in one of the 18 coastal counties of North Carolina where the Beach Plan offers the homeowners insurance.

A Strategic Interpretation of Legal Transplants
Anthony Ogus
University of Manchester - School of Law; Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) - Erasmus School of Law
Nuno M. Garoupa
Texas A&M University School of Law; Catholic University of Portugal (UCP) - Católica Global School of Law
Journal of Legal Studies, Vol. 35, No. 2, 2006
In this paper we provide a strategic explanation for the spontaneous convergence of legal rules but which nevertheless, in many instances, falls short of unification across jurisdictions. We identify a free-riding problem and discuss its implications for legal integration. We argue that countries hesitate to adapt their laws to those of another jurisdiction because they hope to free ride on efforts towards convergence. Unification (by transplant) and harmonization (by convention) of legal rules emerge as an obvious corrective intervention to a coordination failure, thus solving the free-riding problem. However, it could also be a serious policy mistake either because convergence is absent due to very high costs of importing and adjustment or due to agency costs.
Keywords: Legal transplant, game theory, convergence, harmonization, unification, agency costs

Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta
Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is a landscape of biological juxtapositions. Palms, cacti and tropical dry forest fringe the park's northern border along the Caribbean coast, while tropical rain forests, treeless plains, and snow-capped peaks are found in the interior.
The world's tallest coastal mountain, the Sierra Nevada is an 18,942-foot (5,775-meter) massif separated from the Andes chain by plains and semiarid regions and it harbors numerous self-contained tropical and alpine ecosystems in a relatively small area. The mountain's isolation has allowed for many plant and animal species found nowhere else on Earth.
The Sierra Nevada is also sacred to several indigenous communities who still practice centuries-old traditions. These native peoples believe that the Sierra Nevada is the center of the universe and that the mountain's health controls the entire Earth's health.
Beyond the mountain itself, roughly 1.2 million people are dependent upon a fresh water supply that drains down from the Sierra Nevada's 35 river basins.
The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is located in northern Colombia on the Caribbean coast.
Giant anteaters, white-bellied spider monkeys, white-lipped peccaries, red crested tree rats, and red howler monkeys are among the 120 species of mammals that roam the Sierra Nevada, along with elusive cats such as the jaguar, puma and little spotted cat. The Sierra Nevada also harbors 46 species of amphibians and reptiles; those that live above 9,900 feet (3,000 meters) are found nowhere else on the planet, having evolved in complete isolation.
An amazing 628 bird species have been recorded in Sierra Nevada — about the number that can be found in the United States and Canada combined. Some species, such as the Santa Marta Antpitta, Rusty-headed Spinetail, Santa Marta Bush-Tyrant, and White-lored Warbler, cannot be found anywhere else on Earth. Other spectacular birds found in the Sierra Nevada are the Andean condor, Blue-knobbed Curassow, Sapphire-bellied Hummingbird, and black-solitary eagle, which are endangered species. At least 71 species of migratory birds that travel between Colombia and North America have been recorded.
More than 3,000 species of vascular plants are found in the area.
Why the Conservancy Works Here
Human settlement, an advancing agricultural frontier and the cultivation of illegal crops have contributed to the destruction of 72 percent of the area's original forests. Streams and rivers are also being choked by erosion caused by deforestation.
What the Conservancy Is Doing
The Conservancy has been working in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta for more than 10 years. The first project was with the Colombian National Parks Agency to develop and implement an ecological assessment to determine where the most important places to conserve were located in both the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta National Park and indigenous territories located both within and surrounding the park.
Next, in association with partner organization Fundación ProSierra, the Conservancy purchased nearly 25,000 acres (10,000 hectares) of ancestral lands that overlapped with conservation targets determined by the ecological assessment. The lands were then returned to the ownership of the Gonawindua-Tayrona Organization, one of the local indigenous groups, The traditional lifestyles and agricultural practices of the indigenous peoples of the Sierra Nevada do not have a destructive effect on the mountain's ecosystems and thus promote conservation of the mountain's unique ecosystems. Currently, the Conservancy is working directly with an association of indigenous groups to acquire another 25,000 acres in the Sierra Nevada to return to indigenous ownership.
The Conservancy has also been supporting an innovative program that supports health and environmental issues in local communities in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. The program is improving health through eradication of factors that produce diseases as yellow fever or malaria that are linked to deforestation.

Webcast recap: Clay Shirky on open source and the cognitive surplus | Opensource.com
Webcast recap: Clay Shirky on open source and the cognitive surplus
Today Clay Shirky joined us for a webcast on how open source takes advantage of the "cognitive surplus"—the way we use our free time more constructively for a greater cause.
Shirky explains that you simply can't separate technical and social issues. Mixing human models of motivation--new ways of giving incentive--and writing code goes back 25 years to the Xerox 9700 and the beginnings of open source software. What the Xerox 9700 did wasn't important, but where it went did. It went to Richard Stallman's lab in the 1980s along with the source code closed. It's the machine that he wanted to update so that it would send an email when a job was finished. When he realized he couldn't, he saw that this was where software was going--closed. And that was how he chose to spend his life seeing to an open alternative.
Less known is that the GPL failed for the first decade of its life. There was a handful of software produced, but there was no "wave of world-transforming software." Rather, this was the heyday of closed, proprietary software.
The GPL preamble is clearly a political document about user freedoms and not just about the practical issues for code. And then in 1991, along came the famous "Hello everybody out there using minix" email and the birth of Linux. Shirky called this the "beginning of a practical way of implementing the ideals in the GPL." The theory had been there, but the practice of code was still one of a leader with a tight, closed circle. Linus instead went where people who cared gathered and invited them all to participate. He only attracted a few, but those few attracted another few, who attracted another few until Linux became not only a viable operating system but the foundation for the cloud. "I can't imagine the cloud existing if you didn't have an operating system built on these principles," Shirky said.
While writing Cognitive Surplus, Shirky pondered what Linux is made of. Code, of course. But that doesn't explain the difference between Linux and proprietary operating systems. "Linux is made of cognitive surplus," Shirky said. "Linux is made of the free time, talent, and commitable capabilities of anybody who understands enough about operating systems to contribute to the project, and over time that group has grown very large."
And with the Internet, there's now a network that makes finding those people trivially easy and cheap. Combined with the modern surplus of free time and talent, large collaborative projects are possible in a way that they never have been before.
In the book, Shirky explains that by 2008, Wikipedia had taken 108 million hours to create. He chose Wikipedia to represent a usage of free time, as contrasted to television viewing as an example of passive free time consumption. In contrast to that 108 million hours, we spend well over a trillion hours per year watching television. Wikipedia's creation used a mere fraction of the time and talent resource we have at our worldwide disposal.
"The open source world got there first, but the attitude towards problem solving is now becoming general purpose and very powerful," Shirky said.
But the cognitive surplus doesn't just lead to great political, artistic, or cultural works. You also get a lot of silly things like LOLcats. Those who question the success of the Internet and possibilities of the cognitive surplus point to such things and ask whether that's really improving the world. "But here's the thing," Shirky said, "that always happens." It didn't take long after movable type was invented for the first erotic novel to appear. It took another 150 years for people to consider inventing scientific journals. That hardly means the printing press wasn't a world-changing invention. A group of people committed to making the world better were able to take the medium and apply it to create change.
So what can we expect from this particular participatory, worldwide medium? There's a common set of predictions following each new medium, from the telegraph to the telephone to television--and they were all completely wrong. "Every time that a tool comes along, somebody will line up to predict world peace," Shirky said. "Never happens." What does happen is a lot of arguing, more than we had before. The aforementioned scientific journal was exactly such an example. The attempt to understand matter--essentially alchemy--was a private activity in which a small group of people sworn to secrecy would document their results in obtuse ways. Those who invented chemistry took that practice and flipped it. They all agreed to publish the results in language they all understood in a way that would let them recreate one another's results: the birth of peer review. Highly structured argumentation is actually how projects progress and is what makes a medium successful. (Read more about structured arguments in our recap of Shirky's recent LinuxCon keynote.)
"I will end with an observation that is a core question for technical communities, best illustrated with a game called Nomic that Peter Suber used to show his students how self-modifying systems work," Shirky said. Changing the rules is one of the options in the game. There are A-level rules, which can't be changed, and B-level rules, which can be. It's a game of fixed points and flexible points. Suber's point regarding self-modifying systems is that if you make the rule "A-level rules can't be changed" a B-level rule itself, then you can change the A-level rules. That is, in the design of collaborative systems, it's possible to have a system in which all elements are open to change, but some elements are harder to change than others. Think of the Constitution as an example: it's much easier to pass a law than amend the Constitution, but not impossible.
Shirky concluded, "I think the great open question for these large participatory communities is this: We had 25 years of free software and open source, and for most projects there has been a charismatic leader or a leader with obvious final say at the helm. And yet we all hope that these projects outlast their helms."
At some point, this will inevitably lead to a succession crisis. How do you hand control to the group? Linus is certainly less involved in Linux now; there's a higher degree of delegation. At Wikipedia, the users have received enormous amounts of control already. In other cases, like the Apache Foundation, there is an explicitly elected group rather than a leader. Even given those examples, though, analogous to scientific journals, Shirky asked, "How do we use this medium to actually articulate the social agreement among a group of people so they can have profitable arguments, hash out their differences, and reach an agreement?" This is not itself a technical question, though it will take technology to solve. But how do we use those tools to take advantage of the cognitive surplus in a lasting, ongoing, successful way?

Even though I didn't really have the time, I was really looking forward to the Clay Shirky forum. So it is really It's too bad I was unable to attend.
I'm not a programmer, I'm just a writer who has (thanks in large part to Mr. Shirkey's "Here Comes Everybody") become a netizen.
Because I am not a programmer, I can't distinguish between good java script and bad javascript, so I use noscript. I already knew I have to grant permission for this site to be functional.
In signing up for the webinar I granted permission to opensource.com and redhat but that wasn't good enough. I granted dozens of temporary permissions... in fact everything on the list of what was blocked... and it *still* wasn't good enough. I know my limitations well enough to not to grant global permission, or to change the permission settings without having someone who does know sitting at my elbow. That's not possible today.
So. It was *never* going to let me in, so I selected the "join with limited functionality." Which gave me a black screen with a tab that says "click to play" Rather similar to what I get on YouTube. And just like when I click on a you tube video that is Flash, I can't play it. (I use the Trisquel OS, and avoid Flash.)
So. It would have been nice to be able to attend your webinar. Too bad.
Laura, no worries. We'll have the replay available in about a week.
One thing Clay said that has really got me thinking:
"The open source movement is the experimental wing of political philosophy"
Can't believe I was unable to listen to this talk. Thanks, Ruth, for a splendid recap.
I'm not sure whether I should thumbs up or down this comment :) We're working on the replay.

Reconsidering Culture and Poverty

ANNALS, AAPSS, 629, May 2010
Culture is back on the poverty research agenda. Over the past decade, sociologists, demographers, and even economists have begun asking questions about the role of culture in many aspects of poverty and even explicitly explaining the behavior of the low-income population in reference to cultural factors. An example is Prudence Carter (2005), who, based on interviews with poor minority students, argues that whether poor children will work hard at school depends in part on their cultural beliefs about the differences between minorities and the majority. Annette Lareau (2003), after studying poor, working-class, and middleclass families, argues that poor children may do worse over their lifetimes in part because their parents are more committed to "natural growth" than "concerted cultivation" as their cultural model for child rearing. Mario Small (2004), based on fieldwork in a Boston housing complex, argues that poor people may be reluctant to participate in beneficial community activities in part because of how they culturally perceive their neighborhoods. David Harding (2007, 2010), using survey and qualitative interview data on adolescents, argues that the sexual behavior of poor teenagers depends in part on the extent of cultural heterogeneity in their neighborhoods. Economists George Akerlof and Rachel Kranton (2002), relying on the work of other scholars, argue that whether students invest in schooling depends in part on their cultural identity, wherein payoffs will differ among "jocks," "nerds," and "burnouts." And William Julius Wilson, in his latest book (2009a), argues that culture helps explain how poor African Americans respond to the structural conditions they experience.
