Gil Asakawa's
I've been writing music reviews since high school, and I've co-authored "The Toy Book" (1991, Alfred Knopf), a history of toys of the Baby-Boom generation, with Leland Rucker. I've written for a variety of publications from the "Music Hound" series of books to Rolling Stone over the years, ranging from news to criticism. The index below takes you to some of my older writing.
My weekly "Nikkei
View" columns, about popular culture and politics from a
third-generation Japanese-American perspective, are on their own Web
site: https://nikkeiview.com. You can also check out my Nikkeiview Blogs. Please

Some of my writing is available online, sometimes on other Web sites. I'll add links here as I come across them while surfing:

Frank Sinatra's death made me think about my father, who died a few years ago. And it made me realize that along with Ol' Blue Eyes, an entire generation is officially fading into the mists of history.
Sure, there are contemporaries of Sinatra still alive -- isn't Bob Hope still hanging on? -- but Frankie, and his 1950s and '60s "Rat Pack" of singers Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. and actor Peter Lawford, defined sophistication and high society, the entertainment world's elite, for the generation that spawned me and 76.5 million other Baby Boomers.
Sinatra was a self-taught singer with a velvety baritone that instinctively wrapped itself around songs like honey around a spoon -- or, as a friend of mine describes it, like a saxophone at 4 a.m.
His warm intonation, obvious confidence and sharp sense of timing -- he always knew when to stretch out a lyric or a melody and when to cut it short -- matched to his charming good looks (when he was young, he was downright runty instead of the tough, imposing "Chairman of the Board" image he later projected) made him a superstar for the "bobby-soxers," the teenyboppers of the '40s.
Even as an anonymous singer instead of a frontman, his voice lit up the hits of big bands like those of Harry James and Tommy Dorsey during WWII, and it still echoes today in the singing of rock singers everywhere, never mind pop crooners and jazz vocalists.
In 1952 Sinatra's vocal cords hemorrhaged and with his music career on hiatus, his star began to dim. But he had already been acting in movies (playing singers, not surprisingly, at first) and he shone brightly in the '50s on screen, acting in dramatic roles like "From Here to Enternity" (1953), for which he won an Oscar and a rep as the Comeback Kid.
By the '60s, Sinatra was riding his third career wave, as a middle-level movie star and the driving force behind his own record label, Reprise, making the music that would become the lounge standards of today ("Strangers in the Night" and "That's Life" were the biggest hits of this era). He ruled Las Vegas, the pinnacle of class for my parents' generation.
Francis Albert Sinatra had one more significant surge in his long and winding career in the '80s, thanks to "New York, New York," the enduring title song from the dog 1980 movie, and a series of arena-busting tours. I was lucky enough to see Sinatra at one stop at Denver's McNichols Arena, and I'm glad I did, even though I thought his performance was uninspired and by rote.
Hell, at this point, he could sing those songs in his sleep and still get a standing ovation.
More recently, Sinatra's served as little more than an icon for the World War II generation. He made a lame attempt at connecting with MTV viewers a la Tony Bennett with a couple of awful (and awfully conceived) "duet" CDs where he teamed up with the likes of Bono, with whom he couldn't be bothered to sing face-to-face with so they recorded disembodied vocal tracks separately.
I thought he was buried under his own giant pile of hype, and had become the tough jerk the media often portrayed him as. I got the feeling that "Saturday Night Live" star Phil Hartman's icky satire of Sinatra was pretty close to the real Frank.
And, he got old and ill. He died of a heart attack at 82 in the hospital, with family members close by.
More than the passing of such movie stars as Henry Fonda or Jimmy Stewart, Sinatra's death marks the passing of his generation because unlike movies, where you have to go to a theater, turn on the TV or pop in the video, music is everywhere. Pop music truly is the soundtrack to all our lives -- ever since recording technology made "popular" music possible, anyway.
It's in the background at stores, and in the car, and at the restaurant. It's even in movies and on TV -- "Strangers in the Night" has been featured in two TV commercials I can think of off the top of my head, for Nissan and Bud, just in the past few years.
So Frankie's music has been a constant thread stretching from my Dad's Wonder Years all the way through mine to today. That being the case, of course, we won't miss Frank Sinatra that much. His music's preserved forever on dozens of CDs including a handful of great boxed sets, both on Reprise and his earlier label from the 1950s, Capitol Records.
Go out and find them, Baby Boomers, to relive your life. It's OK to be nostalgic over this one.
And you youngsters out there, who think Sinatra's just another soundbyte in the novelty fad of "lounge" music, dig a little deeper than "New York, New York." Listen to "In the Wee Small Hours" (1955) or "Songs for Swinging Lovers" ('56), when he was inventing how a pop music star should sound.
Those recordings are what will make his legacy resound long after the Boomers are gone.

The Atlanta Braves tolerated record-setting temperatures Saturday afternoon at Turner Field, defeating Stephen Strasburg and the Washington Nationals 7-5 to even the series.
With a first pitch temperature of 104 degrees – and eventually reaching an all-time Atlanta record of 106 – Strasburg lasted only three innings due to heat-related issues and a three-run third inning. The Braves would strike for three more in the fourth inning to give Mike Minor enough support for his fourth win of the year.
Atlanta drew four walks off Strasburg in his three innings. He issued consecutive one-out walks in the third to Michael Bourn and Martin Prado. Jason Heyward drove in the Braves' first run of the game with a double, which Freddie Freeman followed with a sacrifice fly before Dan Uggla hit a two-out RBI double to left.
Strasburg would draw a walk off Minor in the top of the fourth but would not return to pitch the bottom of the inning.
Chien-Ming Wang took the hill for the Nationals, and the Braves picked up where they had left off with a lead-off single from Andrelton Simmons. He was driven in four pitches later on a Juan Francisco double, who, after being moved over by Minor on a sacrifice, scored on a double by Bourn. After a wild pitch, Prado plated Bourn with a sacrifice fly.
Even though Simmons hit an RBI-single in the fifth, the Braves were still not out of the woods with their 7-2 lead in the sixth. Minor gave up a walk to Adam LaRoche and a double to Ian Desmond to start the inning, and Kris Medlen allowed both of them to score on singles from Tyler Moore and Jesus Flores. Medlen would be replaced with two outs in the seventh after giving up an RBI-double to LaRoche.
Eric O'Flaherty and Craig Kimbrel kept the Nats scoreless in the eighth and ninth to secure Minor's second win in his last 12 starts.Tags: Andrelton Simmons, Atlanta, Atlanta Braves, Craig Kimbrel, Dan Uggla, Eric O'Flaherty, Freddie Freeman, Jason Heyward, Juan Francisco, Martin Prado, Michael Bourn, Mike Minor, MLB, Stephen Strasburg

HeadWay - Treating Head and Neck Cancers with Multi-D
HeadWay Fall 2010
Treating Head and Neck Cancers with Multi-D
Date: November 30, 2010
Sara Pai and her colleagues at the multi-disciplinary HPV clinic for head and neck cancers believe that a team approach is the best way to treat these conditions.
When the 64-year-old found a couple of lumps on his neck while shaving, he knew that he needed to have them checked out. But the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma with no identified primary tumor was a surprise.
He didn't drink or smoke, the two biggest traditional risk factors for head and neck cancer. But further investigation identified the primary site of his cancer to be in the base of his tongue, as well as the cause: human papilloma virus (HPV), a culprit long known to trigger cervical cancer in women but now identified as a growing cause of head and neck cancers in both women and men.
Patients diagnosed with HPV-associated head and neck malignancies do not fit the typical profile of head and neck cancer patients, says otolaryngologist and head and neck surgeon Sara Pai, who recently launched a multidisciplinary clinic at Johns Hopkins focused solely on treating patients with HPV-related disease. Like the 64-year-old patient, they often don't drink or smoke. While most of the traditional head and neck cancers strike people over 50, HPV-associated head and neck cancers often occur at a significantly younger age, sometimes affecting adults in their early 20s.
The good news, says Pai, is that HPV-associated head and neck cancers often respond well to treatment and tend to have a better prognosis as compared to non-HPV-related head and neck cancers. Since these cancers respond so well to traditional treatments, physicians are evaluating whether patients can afford to receive lower doses of chemotherapy and radiation in order to minimize the side effects of these treatments while maintaining their good outcomes.
"Because these patients are younger when they're diagnosed and their cancers respond so well to treatment, treating them less aggressively can help them avoid potential lifelong side effects such as problems swallowing, dry mouth and tooth decay," says Pai. "Our goal is to maintain their quality of life."
Pai and a team of colleagues, including other head and neck surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and speech language pathologists, meet each patient as a group to review their medical history, perform a physical examination and develop a plan for treatment—all in the same clinic visit.
"At this one clinical visit, the patient meets all the subspecialists, and we review all potential therapeutic options, which allows us to formulate a patient-specific treatment plan," Pai says.
The comprehensive care continues while treatment is ongoing. For example, the speech language pathologist provides long-term monitoring to catch any problems with swallowing before they progress. The clinic also provides counseling to help patients deal with emotional or social issues related to their diagnosis, such as potential social stigmas or how the virus might affect their partners.
After the 64-year-old patient visited Pai's multidisciplinary HPV clinic, her team developed a treatment plan based on his less aggressive cancer type and expected a good prognosis: several months of radiation, but no surgery or chemotherapy. He recently concluded his treatment and is waiting for his next checkup in a few weeks—feeling good and anticipating a healthy life ahead.

Right now I'm currently running nova launcher on a new note 3. Unfortunately I dont like the launcher other then the fact that I can adjust the grid size (5 apps down) and that I can change the icon theme. Other then that I don't like it as much as the stock touchwhiz. I'm wondering if anybody knows a plain launcher that just leaves everything running as stock except for grid customization and if possible icon themes. Thanks!
Nova, as well as Apex, are Vanilla Android launchers. They stick closest to the Stock Android experience. As plain as they get.
What you're looking for is a Touchwiz inspired launcher. (About as far from plain Stock Android as you can get.) Try S Launcher or Galaxy Launcher.

I've recently started playing FFXI again, and wanna get those silly CoP missions going something fierce. To be honest, I don't have much experience with doing CoP. The last time I played I did some of the first Prom's and a bit after, but SE has a habit of deleting my account after a while when I quit.
So! I am trying to fish up some folks to do a perma for as much CoP as we can possibly manage. Myself and my boyfriend RL will both be in on it (He is only 40rdm, so as far as that can go in CoP, mission wise, anyway, at which point he is willing to bow out) - As well as an LS mate whom is a 60+whm and probably some other jobs. So we've got nearly three folks right from the start, I just need a few others whom are interested, and ideally someone who knows the drill and can kinda be the lead for this stuff, and get it done.
Send me an in-game tell as Losie anytime if you are interested or wanna see if we can work somethin' out, I'd -love- to get this CoP stuff started and done(or at least well underway).

FAQ – Taking Flight App
-I just got the Taking Flight App. Now it won't go past the loading screen! Where's the book?
The first thing the Taking Flight App does when it is first opened on your iPad is download the rest of the book. This download is 1.5 gigabytes. This download should take 10 – 15 minutes, but can be as long as 45 minutes on older devices or slower internet connections.
Following these steps will fix any download issues.
- Reinstall the app. This will clear out any possible residual issues from previous downloads.
- Go into your iPad's settings, under the General section, and turn Auto-lock to never.
- Make sure you are connected to the internet, using the best connection possible.
- Open the app. Let the download start.
- Make sure the download progress bar comes up and that the time on it is less than 45 minutes. If it is longer, you will most likely need a faster connection.
-Man this text is hard to read. Can I do anything to make it bigger?
Unfortunately we do not have a text enlargement feature yet (working hard on designing it), but there is a way to zoom in!
In your iPad's Settings, General Tab, near the bottom is Accessibility. In Accessibility is the the Zoom option, which when turned on, allows you to actually zoom in on ANY screen of your iPad at any time by simply double tapping with three fingers.

Jeggings open up a new world of fashion
There is a type of pants in stores with the styles of jeans and the comfort of leggings. Jeggings are a special type of pants. They are leggings and jeans put together in one pair of pants! However, people have their own opinions on jeggings . Some people love them, while other people don't find a purpose for them.
Most young girls like them for many reasons. One of the most famous reasons is because they are very comfortable. Jeggings were voted most popular jean for 2011. There are a lot of famous people who wear jeggings , as well. Some famous people that introduced jeggings to the world are Fergie and Kate Bosworth.
The person who came up with this fantastic idea for a simple pair of pants is Ping He. She is famous, an award-winning fashion designer from China. They were first used for jogging in early 2009. They are now America's most popular item on the charts!
Why are jeggings as comfortable as people say? Jeggings are made of spandex and denim, but there's a higher percentage of spandex in the pants than denim. People say the spandex feel is nice because it fits you, unlike jeans. Jeggings may look like a pair of tight jeans, but they aren't. You see, with jeans, its hard to find which pair fits you best and you usually never find one that's just right. Jeans are stiff and rough to the skin, but jeggings are soft and comfortable.
If you have been away from home all day when you're wearing jeans, you just can't wait to get home and take them off and put some pajama pants on. With jeggings , you want to stay in them all night long! Also, since they are part denim, they keep you warm in the winter!
The price range for jeggings is $12 to $154. Depending on where you plan on getting your jeggings , the price with vary. If you wanted to get them, for example, from Hollister, jeggings range from $20 to $50.
There are many reviews on jeggings . According to some reviews, people have said that jeggings are "true to size" and "flattering." Other reviews have said 4.3 out of 5 customers like American Eagle jeggings . There is a long list of opinions. Those were just few of the many positive reviews people have made.
If you were to ask people on the street if they like jeggings , most of them would say, "Yes, they are my favorite." They say this because jeggings are a product that was never thought of before. The look of jeans with the comfort of leggings? Who knew?

TheFBI Agent says, "Paulo, Don Giuseppe's son, has started a Mob War over the death of his father. He believes the assassin who shotgunned Don Giuseppe and Gyp and is now after him. "You're the only one who's seen the killer." I'm shown a sketch of a Frankenstein's Monster look-alike. "Is this Gyp's killer?"
"No," I tell her, "not even close, "Who is he?"
"The Jackal." A killer-for-hire. His weapon is a shotgun. Have you ever heard of him?"
First, Get Clear on Your GoalsAugust 15, 2005 - 3:53am
Dear Poker Counselor, I am a great poker player who consistently wins money. Over the past year I am probably up over $30,000 playing poker, but my problem is leaving the casino. After every winning session, instead of getting into my car, I find myself blowing my winnings at the craps table. I now have nothing to show for the long hours that I put into poker.
I know that I could make poker a living, if only I could get to my car! Sincerely,
Broke in Boston
Player Profile: Phil HellmuthMay 20, 2005 - 3:53am
PLAYER Profile PHIL Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth is seemingly everywhere across the landscape of the business and poker worlds.
His sturdy presence is reflected in the attitude projected by this winner of nine World Series of Poker bracelets who finished in the money five times at the most recent Series and was the youngest winner ever of the main event when he took the 1989 title at the age of 24.
He's 40 now and does not even pretend to do "modest" very well.
John Adams: American Patriot, World Class PlayerMay 20, 2005 - 3:53am
No Founding Father was more responsible for America's independence and the democratic government that followed than John Adams. His contribution was at least equal to that of Washington or Jefferson.
The second President of the United States descended from America's original risk-takers, the Puritans. John Adams' family arrived in Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1638, nearly a century before he was born. He always considered himself an American.
United States of Poker: New JerseyMay 20, 2005 - 3:53am
The state of New Jersey, being one of the original colonies which formed the United States, has seen its share of history, and a large part of its history recently has been focused on Absecon Island, which is the site of the resort town of Atlantic City, one of the best-known cities in the United States. Merely the mention of Atlantic City, about 125 miles south of New York City and 60 miles southeast of Philadelphia, brings forth different images for different people.

Where Do I Look
I am trying to find out if states between Iowa and Arizona will honor my CCW permit. I hope to get one in January when the law changes from a "may issue" state to a "shall issue" state. I figured a good way to start would be to see if Iowa honored other states. So I got on the Iowa legislature web site and have been reading the code 724 about weapons and I can't find a word about it. I was told by a cop that Iowa will honor others but I want to see it in print.
Where do I look?
Sir; look here. Always double check any information for dating or up-dates
CCW Concealed Carry Laws by State
page one, bottom right corner.
always check the information published by the state in question. Relying on third party info could be hazardous to your legal standing.
It's a shame that "S. 845: Respecting States Rights and Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2009" never got any traction.
Where do I, look?
Does anybody know where I can find out what I can do in the event of home invasion? I live in communist ohio and can't get a straight answer. The state attorney general says the state is the one to determine if a shoot no shoot event occurred. Any ideas? I was going to get my CCW, but I read Canebrakes thread and changed my mind. Local sheriff "no comment".
I just had a break in about 3 weeks ago. I went right down to the sheriff's dept. and got an emergency CCW. It took about 20 min. and $37 and it's good for 90 days. As far as law goes check here..Governor Strickland signs SB184, Ohio's Castle Doctrine Law
Thanks, lots of reading there!:)

It's nice work – if you can get it.
Wall Street has cut thousands of jobs over the past year or so. On Tuesday, JPMorgan Chase, one of the country's biggest banks, announced that it was eliminating 4000 jobs through layoffs and attrition, adding its name to a string of large banks that continue to cut jobs to reduce expenses.
The good news? For the employees who remain, pay is up, according to a report released on Tuesday by the New York State comptroller.
This may seem surprising given the outcry over high compensation during the financial crisis. In recent years, however, faced with greater regulation, a slow economic recovery and the loss of once big moneymaking businesses such as selling products tied to mortgages, the banks have tried instead to cut people rather than pay, which they argue is needed in order to retain talent that might otherwise leave for better paying jobs at hedge funds or elsewhere.
In Australia, investment bankers have fared worse than their colleagues in Asia, who were paid better bonuses last year.
The average cash bonus for people employed in New York City in the financial industry rose by roughly 9 per cent, to $US121,900, in 2012. Wall Street cash bonuses in total are forecast to increase by roughly 8 per cent to $US20 billion this year, said Thomas DiNapoli, the comptroller.
In recent years some firms have deferred cash payments to employees, and Mr DiNapoli said part of the increase in the 2012 numbers was cash promised in recent years but paid out in 2012. He said it was "tough" to break out what percentage of the total are deferrals, but he believed it was still a small part of the total.
All told, the average pay package for securities industry employees in New York was $US362,900 in 2011, the last year for which data is available, almost unchanged from 2010.
Wall Street jobs are harder to get than they were just a few years ago, but for those who can get their foot in the door finance remains the best-paying sector in New York City, Mr DiNapoli said.
"Profits and bonuses rebounded in 2012, but the industry is still restructuring. Despite its smaller size, the securities industry is still a very important part of the New York City and New York state economies," he said.
The current economic recovery, he said, is being driven by industries other than Wall Street, which he said has regained only 30 per cent of the jobs lost during the downturn. The securities industry in New York City lost 28,300 jobs during the financial crisis and has added only 8500 since, a net loss of 19,800 jobs. New York City financial industry employment totalled 169,700 at the end of 2012.
Before the start of the financial crisis, business and personal income tax collections from Wall Street-related activities accounted for up to 20 per cent of New York State tax revenues. In 2012, that contribution fell to just 14 per cent.
"Wall Street is still in transition, but it is very slowly adjusting to changes in its economic and regulatory environment," he said.

As Lucent Technologies considers merging with French telecom equipment manufacturer Alcatel on the one hand, and AT&T continues to display its seemingly insatiable appetite to gobble up the competition on the other, it seems as if the former Bell companies are out to dominate the telecommunications industry once again.
But while the prospect of the majority of Baby Bells reuniting once again under one roof, having been forced to break up by the government in 1984 in accordance to anti-monopoly regulations, might be alarming to some, many expect that such moves will only strengthen the telecom networking sector as a whole. Similarly, a deal between the former Bell equipment maker and the Paris-based company could spur a rapid change in the business landscape of telecom product manufacturers as well.
Of course, the prospect of Alcatel joining forces with Lucent is nothing new, as the two companies entered similar talks in 2001, even though the deal ultimately fell through as they were unable to agree on how much control each company would have over the new entity. Some analysts, however, expect that this time around, the outcome will be different.
"The industry has been in a consolidation phase since Ericsson's acquisition of (Italian giant) Marconi," said Jean-Charles Doineau, service infrastructure practice leader at London-based research group Ovum. "The situation for Alcatel and Lucent has changed compared to 2001, when the companies were facing financial difficulties and were engaged in deep restructuring programs. Alcatel has sold all its loss-making activities (such as fiber optics and mobile phones) and succeeded in becoming a leading vendor in the fixed market (including becoming a major player in broadband.) while partly enhancing its mobile infrastructure business thanks to its success in emerging markets," Doineau said, pointing out that five years ago Lucent had the upper hand, but the situation now has changed.
"Lucent also sold several activities to focus on telecoms, but did not succeed in gaining enough momentum in the fixed industry in its domestic market, while its mobile business is 90 percent CDMA, with key accounts such as Sprint and Verizon," he added.
Still, while it might now make financial sense for telecom equipment manufacturers to merge than it did in 2001, there is some concern that a leading U.S. telecom maker coming together with a European counterpart may lead to considerable political opposition that might break the deal yet again.
The merger between Lucent and Alcatel "will make sense ... if people feel comfortable with foreign ownership," said Jeff Kagan, an independent telecom analyst based in Marietta, Ga. "But it's a new idea in a dangerous time," he added.
Kagan argued that shareholders and customers alike as well as legislators would likely question "whether or not (the deal) is a security risk," and pointed out that merger talks would be easier to realize if it were between two U.S. companies.
Keeping politics aside, though, assuming that the merger goes forward, it may well ignite a buyout and merger frenzy among other telecom equipment manufacturers.
"The consolidation of the U.S. service provider market is certainly accelerating with the Sprint-Nextel and SBC-AT&T-Bellsouth mergers. Vendors are going to be confronted with significant (capital expenditure) rationalization in the already highly competitive U.S. market," Ovum's Doineau said.
In addition, the analyst pointed out that "Lucent is very dependant on these operators, and is probably more exposed than Alcatel, though the resurgence of an AT&T-led Bell system could favour the company."

Jerusalem: Thousands of photographs poured onto Facebook: uniformed Israeli soldiers in elite units, office workers on lunch break, a beachgoer in a bikini, a right-wing politician, toddlers and even puppies, all holding signs in Hebrew: "We are with David the Nahlawi."
That would be David Adamov, a soldier in the Nahal Brigade of the Israeli army, who was videotaped having an aggressive confrontation with Palestinian teenagers in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron.
After the video was posted on the internet and a military spokesman said Adamov's behaviour did not comport with the army's code of conduct, word that he was being held in a military jail sparked what several commentators have called the Israel Defence Forces' first digital mutiny.
"In this era, there are almost no barriers between the soldier in the field and the expression of his opinion online," the Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz said on Thursday. "It seems the soldiers are a few steps ahead of their commanders."
It turned out that Adamov, whose age and rank the IDF would not provide, was not jailed because of the confrontation in Hebron, but for having attacked two of his own commanders in a previous incident. It also turned out that one of the teenagers in Hebron had brass knuckles.
By Thursday afternoon, the Facebook page of support for Adamov had garnered 100,000 likes, and a slow-motion version of the confrontation video had been shared 7492 times.
"It is very important that we remember, and we say to our subordinates in a clear way, that Facebook is not an instrument of command," the IDF's chief of staff, Lieutenant-General Benny Gantz, told his top aides at their weekly briefing. "It's here, and that is a fact, but it is not a substitute or even parallel to discourse between commanders and their soldiers."
The online campaign sheds light on a longstanding concern of soldiers and their families: though they are trained for combat, many young Israelis are deployed in police-patrol roles in the occupied West Bank. And activists have provided Palestinians there with cameras to document the soldiers' every move.
The confrontation video, taken on Sunday by the Hebron-based group Youth Against Settlements, shows Adamov in a green beret, shoving a Palestinian youth and then cocking and brandishing his assault rifle. He kicks the youth, who is heard swearing at him, and then he threatens onlookers with "a bullet in your head" if they do not shut off their cameras.
A decade ago, former soldiers from the Nahal Brigade who had been stationed on the same Hebron streets founded Breaking the Silence, an anti-occupation group that records soldiers sharing horror stories from their service and then uses the stories in lectures and guided tours.
"If you really understand the story, these things are the norms, and not exceptions, because that's how you behave there, that's the reality of military occupation," Yehuda Shaul, one of the founders of Breaking the Silence, said in an interview on Thursday. "Sadly, we don't debate these things enough and we don't confront them enough."
The creator of the Facebook page supporting Adamov wrote on the page that soldiers "find themselves handcuffed (figuratively) and confused" by military policy.
"Should I take the chance that I will be humiliated, wounded and even risk my life, but I will know that the system will not be able to harass me?" the author asks in the unsigned posting. "Or do I use the means at my disposal," and "take the chance that I will be in a different movie entirely: of a criminal in court for just doing my job?"

Status spending races, cooperative consumption and voluntary public income disclosure
Scholars from Duesenberry to Frank have argued that the pursuit of a higher social status, although rational from the individual's viewpoint, might be wasteful to society. Status conscious individuals find it optimal to over†consume positional goods and thus exert a negative externality on their peers. This paper presents a classroom experiment to introduce students to the theories of relative income. The experiment illustrates the external effect of positional goods consumption and discusses social arrangements to alleviate this externality problem. Students learn that a social arrangement as simple as voluntary income disclosure can revert individual consumption back to socially optimal levels.

I recently began working with the team at Citelighter, a startup that supports learners in storing, sharing and organizing their education and research for free. Citelighter is currently being used in 1500 schools worldwide. Initially the tool was developed with higher education in mind, but an increasing amount of middle and high school teachers have been using Citelighter to support younger learners.
As a K-12 special education teacher, tutor and instructional coach my major focus is on making learning accessible for all students. I am always looking for ways to minimize the distractions and keep things organized in order to maximize student independence. Citelighter allows learners to highlight and cite texts online with ease but I was initially drawn to the tool because of its natural relationship with differentiation in the classroom. There are so many possibilities for using Citelighter to tailor research projects to student strengths and weaknesses.
The team at Citelighter is unique because their mission first and foremost is truly to support the learner. They have a passion for talking to teachers to find out what we really need. Our goal is to make Citelighter a tool that is focused around the learner and the best way to do this is through getting feedback from the user so if you are out there using Citelighter, feel free to reach out to say hello, ask a question or share a story! Stay tuned for more ideas about how to use Citelighter to support the needs of all learners.
Glad to be back,

A Guy Selling Magazines Door-To-Door Started a Fight with a Man
This story should warm your heart if you've ever felt like a door-to-door magazine salesman has held you HOSTAGE . . . until you finally caved and bought three subscriptions to "Juggs".
26-year-old Peter Trees is a door-to-door magazine salesman, and a REALLY obnoxious one. Last week he was walking around Gainesville, Florida, knocking on doors and pushing subscriptions.
On Friday night, he knocked on Miguel Roman's door. Miguel opened the door, listened to Peter's pitch, and told him he wasn't interested. But Peter refused to leave and kept pushing. So Miguel told him to leave his property
That sent Peter into a rage . . . and he actually PUNCHED Miguel in the face. Then, he walked into Miguel's house.
There was only one thing Peter didn't realize. Miguel was an off-duty FEDERAL AGENT.
So, Miguel pulled his FIREARM on Peter and held him there until the police arrived. Peter was arrested and charged with battery and burglary.

Our Heart and Soul
March 11, 2008
Babygirl, this morning marked 7 months since you left my life. Seven months since I've seen those big, beautiful brown eyes and touched your soft and soothing fur. It's been 7 months since I smelled you, rubbed your belly and kissed you endlessly. It's been seven months since you kissed your Momma's eyes and comforted her. How can time go by so quickly? How can it be that for almost 12 years you were the biggest part of my life, and now you are compltely gone from it - all in a matter of seconds? I still talk about you every day and every night. I still miss you just as much every day - if not more. And, I still light your candle every night and pray on your shining star, begging you to come back to me and give me another chance to do right by you. I hope you know how much me and Deohmy love you and how much we tried to protect you and save you. From the time you were a puppy and throughout your entire life, I always saved you from everything bad and hurtful to you; I was always able to. This time, I wasn't. That very fact will haunt me for the rest of my life. The love I feel for you goes beyond any thoughts I can write here or any words I can express to another. You were my heart and soul, and only the heart and soul can truly understand. Each night when I go to sleep, I pray my hardest that this all an awful nightmare and I will wake up and see your beautiful face and watch your whole body wag with happiness and love. You loved life so much, and the very thing you loved more than anything was taken from you. I know everyone says otherwise, but I feel it was my fault. I look back and wonder what I should have and could have done differently. How could I have saved by Babygirl. That question is forever etched in my mind, and I wish I had an answer and could turn back time. Know that Meohmy and Deohmy love you forever and a furry day (like we always told you, Bran). You may not be here with me in your glorious furry suit, but you live within my heart, my soul and my entire being - always. I love you forever, Puppa... Momma loves you, Momma loves you, Momma loves you... XOXOXOXOXOXO

Nigel Farage – This Is My Greatest Worry As We Head Into 2013
January 8, 2013
Today Nigel Farage spoke with King World News about his greatest worry as we head into 2013. Farage, who is BritainŌĆÖs very popular MEP, also gave his outlook for Europe in 2013, as well as his 2013 outlook for the globe, Here is what Farage had to say in this powerful and timely interview: ŌĆ£What really has me worried, and this may go beyond 2013, but I think the one thing that is going to change is weŌĆÖve been through a period, since 2008, of interest rates being virtually zero. During that period of time, governments have racked up vast, vast amounts of debt, and are continuing to run huge budget deficits.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£I noticed at the end of last week that the 10-Year British bond suddenly traded out at 2%. That to me is a marker. ItŌĆÖs a marker that says, ŌĆśLow interest rate environments donŌĆÖt last forever.ŌĆÖ Actually, as you and I have discussed before, all of these programs, such as QE, in the end must be inflationary.
And I think we are going to be heading into a world of rising interest rates. That is when our governments, who are continuing to run these deficits, are going to be in real, real trouble….
The Rest…HERE

I feel like starting at group zero means twice as much leg work is done needlessly so I'm with Apple on this one. Not to mention I'm sure there is some intellectual property that if not bought, would prevent Apple from doing their own thing anyway.
I just hope this doesn't cause future lawsuits against Microsoft... even if I think their new way of doing business like the subscription model Office and XBOX One required subscription(s) is a joke.
but taking somebody else's tech just causes stagnation, better to come up with something new.
this also proves that Apple are just magpies and are trying to scupper Microsofts head way into the living room
I want Apple to keep producing good kit that challenges the market, not to keep taking things and causing lawsuits because of patent battles
Apple used to be innovative, now they're just corporate bullies
Companies buy out others all the time, including Microsoft, Samsung, and Google; this is nothing new! Why would Apple want to start something of their own when they can buy a great product that's already developed? There are cases where it's good to do your own thing, but if the company behind Kinect is willing to sell then why not? Hopefully this leads to some cool things for iDevices!

It freezes and bricks better than the 360 as well.
360 had RRoD, and the owners didn't even cause it. Wii U bricking is caused by the owners and their impatience.

Yeah, but the number of 360s that had the RROD at launch wasn't equal to the population of China (hyperbole, everyone knows the Wii U isn't selling).
Wii U bricking is caused by the owners and their impatience.
Prove it.

Nintendo is trying to link the two accounts together by using eShop points, instead of Wii and DSi points.
I used to say Waluigi sucked.

The UI is garbage, it was garbage on the 3ds and Wii also. It is a few pages of boxes, slow cluttered and unorganized. No matter how you sort you stuff it still looks like crap. Yes the 360 is littered with ads and slower since the past two updates but it's still better looking and everything is organized in categories. I don't even have a 360 anymore since it died over a year ago and never replaced but I can admit it has a way better UI and is still a smoother experience than the WiiU.
Oh I agree with you on the controller, the GamePad is very comfortable I can't wait to see how the Pro feels in my hands!

The pathetic nintendo fanbase aren't rational when people compare the CPU's and find the Wii U lacking. When the Wii U was getting bricked and freezing, they weren't being rational. So how much of a hypocrite do you have to be to claim someone is a troll when the nintendo faires don't use rationale in the face of the Wii U's problems?
Logic. Try to use some.

One of my favorite things about the Wii U launch is the unintentional meta-game that's come from it; "Troll Ignore U". You see, all you have to do is browse this particular board and look for messages like:
You are ignoring 4 message(s) from users on this page. Manage your list here.
You are ignoring 5 topic(s) from users on this page. Manage your list here.
The higher the number, the better the score! There is no limit to the number of trolls you can ignore, so the sky's the limit. I'm up to 53! You gain Bonus Points if you never even have to see the ignored troll's posts. Points are lost, though, when people quote the offending posts and you have to be subjected to the Troll's ridiculousness anyway. Oh well, no game is perfect.
The absolute best part is, this game is free! Start playing today!
I like video games.
Well for those who bash the 360 RROD... As nintendo copied the consol and controllers of the said thing they have their own BDOD... see for yourself

SWINDON Town boss Mark Cooper has confirmed the club is planning to loan out keeper Tyrell Belford next season.
The Advertiser revealed on Thursday how the Robins have offered second-choice stopper Belford to all clubs in League One, League Two and the Skrill Premier.
Now, speaking to FLIC Wiltshire, Cooper has confirmed the plan.
"With Wes (Foderingham) being the number one and the way he played last season, we need to get 'Ty' some more experience, he had a taste of it last season but we need to get him some more game time in somebody's first team," he said.
"If somebody comes and wants him to be their first choice then we will consider it, but we need a replacement to be an understudy for Wes."
Cooper has also insisted Portsmouth are jumping the gun regarding a potential loan move for Miles Storey.
"I think they (Portsmouth) might be jumping the gun a little bit, because as far as I'm aware, there is nothing concrete or there is nothing imminent with Miles," he said.
"I think there was an interest and the two clubs spoke, but I don't think there is anything concrete or anything imminent that is going to happen.
"Miles was part of our fitness testing group today."

GSN announces winners in its 2013 Border Security Awards program
Adrian Courtenay
Government Security News and GSN's Border Security Weekly are pleased to announce the winners of the GSN 2013 Border Security Awards program.
The roster of 2013 winners includes vendor companies that have been deemed by the judges to be innovative, advanced and successful in meeting the needs of border security professionals, along with government agencies and officials who are being recognized for their participation in arrests, seizures, rescues or information-sharing projects, or for leadership and service to country that individual agents or officials have demonstrated in their border security activities.
Ed Tyler, publisher of Government Security News, offered special thanks to Telephonics Corp., the lead sponsor of the 2013 awards competition.
Big winners in the vendor categories include Phoenix-based PureTech Systems, Platinum Winner in "Best Border Security Video Surveillance Solution" and Platinum Co-Winner in "Best Integrated Perimeter Protection Systems," as well as Gold Winner in "Best Wide Area Video Surveillance."
Desktop Alert, the mass notification provider, was selected as Gold medal winner in the "Best Mass Notification System" category, shared the Platinum honor with the U.S. National Guard, its client, in the "Outstanding Global Intelligence Sharing Program -- U.S. or Foreign" and also saw its client, Richard B. Montgomery of the National Guard Readiness Center in Arlington, VA, named as Platinum winner in the "Individual Leadership and Service to Country" category.
Other multiple category Winners include Axis Communications, which won the Platinum in "Best Thermal/Night Vision/Infrared Solution," Gold medal in "Best Border Security Video Surveillance Solution" and Gold in "Best Covert Surveillance Solution."
AtHoc, Inc, another major player in the mass communications field, was selected for the Platinum award in the "Best Bi-Directional Mobile Communications Solution" and for the Silver award in "Best Mass Notification System," while AtHoc's client, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, received a Platinum award in the category of "Outstanding Land Border Arrest, Interdiction, Seizure or Rescue."
One particularly noteworthy Platinum winner in the Government Agency categories was NOVARIS, the Northern Virginia Regional Identification System in the category of "Outstanding Inter-Agency Intelligence/Information Sharing Program -- U.S. Agencies." The NOVARIS entry for its National Capital Region AFIS Consortium describes a sophisticated network of interoperable Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS) that is connecting agencies, jurisdictions and states in the National Capital Region (NCR).
Government Security News looks forward to covering this fascinating initiative of NOVARIS in an upcoming issue, according to Managing Partner Adrian Courtenay, along with coverage of the advanced technologies of winning vendors and stories about important arrests, seizures, rescues and information-sharing programs developed by government agencies, as well as accounts of individual leadership and service to country on the part of individual government officials.
Courtenay also reported that the GSN's video team will be conducting video interviews with a number of the winners of the 2013 Border Security Awards program at the 2013 Border Security Expo, which will take place on Tuesday, March 12 and Wednesday, March 13 at the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, AZ.

The Client checks automatically every 30 days for updates or the user can manually initiate a check for updates. We don't want users to be able to update the Client Software. We use an automated software distribution product and we want to control which Client Version is used. Is it possible to suppress the Client software updates?
AT&T offers a couple ways to control automatic updates to end users. The first way is by centrally configuring the location the client uses to check for software updates in the AT&T Service Manager. A custom location can be set up for your account such that the AT&T client will always find the available version to be the current version, thus no updates outside of your chosen distribution methodology will ever be performed. If for some reason central configuration of the updates location does not meet your needs, the location for software updates can also be controlled with a custom installation package.
To take advantage of either of these options to control software updates, please contact your account team and they can assist in setting this up for you.

Matthaus, who spent 12 years at Bayern, believes Petrov has the leadership skills to replace Ballack, who is expected to join Chelsea this summer.
Former Hungary boss Matthaus told Sport-Bild magazine: "I know him from Hungary's games against Bulgaria.
"He plays with his sleeves rolled up and is a leader for 90 minutes."
Petrov has been a big hit at Parkhead since joining Celtic from CSKA Sofia for £2m in August 1998.
Mattahus, who won six Bundesliga titles during his time at Bayern, added: "Since Ballack came to Bayern four years ago the club has had no international success.
"Not that I'm a fan of Ballack's predecessor Stefan Effenberg, but he was always in there, rousing his team-mates."
Matthaus claims that Bayern coach Felix Magath is seeking a leader on the pitch and said: "Magath is aware of the problem.
"He will try to get a player who is more respected by others, a classic number eight, not a Ballack-type not a phenomenal footballer but a personality.
"Magath brought along the name of Mark van Bommel but I'm bringing along another one, Stilian Petrov from Celtic."
