What Difference Do Polarisation Measures Make? An Application to China
AbstractIn recent years there has been much discussion of the difference between inequality and polarisation. The vast literature on inequality is held to miss out key features of distributional change, which are better described as changes in polarisation. Axioms have been proposed which capture some of these differences, and measures of polarisation, as distinct from inequality, have been suggested. The theoretical distinctions proposed in this literature are indeed interesting. But do the newly proposed measures of polarisation give different results in comparing societies over time? We address these questions for China, where dramatic increases in inequality and polarisation have been much discussed in the literature. We find that, contrary to theoretical expectation, the new measures of polarisation do not generate very different results from the standard measures of inequality. The paper ends by considering a different approach to polarisation which might better conform to the policy concerns expressed in the specific context of China.

text: FAIRBANKS, Alaska- This may come as a surprise, but this year we've had fewer wildfires than normal, despite record temperatures and dry conditions. So far, 1.25 million acres have burned this year, the average for the last 10 years is 1.4 million acres. With rain in the forecast, some in the fire service are speculating about a "season ending event," but they haven't stopped fighting fires around the interior. Even though there have been nearly 600 wildfires, there weren't as many large burns. The 2004 season had about 700 wildfires and burned a record 6.65 million acres.

Guy Shahine works at a multibillion-dollar company that has dominated
the software industry for decades and has nearly 98,000 employees worldwide.
Yet, he insists, he also works at a startup.
Shahine, in Microsoft's Online Services Division, believes a just-launched project his Bing Advertising team is working on -- linking customers' credit cards to discount deals offered by restaurants and retailers -- is essentially a startup.
"We have these ideas out there that, to some people, might sound awesome, and, to others, they think might not work out," he said. "The only way to know is to put out those ideas, see how the market, how the customers, react to them. It's all about experimenting, learning from those experiments, iterating."
That sort of thinking is beginning to take hold in certain pockets at Microsoft, some there believe, as the company becomes one that provides devices and services, rather than just traditional software.
That transition is one Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has been beating the drum on for almost a year now. It's the reason the company is expected to announce soon a major reorganization to better align its divisions along devices and services lines.
And it's a reason its culture is beginning to shift.
The company has long had a reputation of being a stodgy organization full of infighting where getting something done might require battling through layers of bureaucracy.
Now, some employees say, the company culture is becoming more collaborative, faster paced, and infused in places with what some are calling a "startup vibe" -- a sense of being the underdog, of creating something experimental that has to be tested in the market, and a willingness to incorporate feedback into those experiments quickly.
"I would not say it is yet prevalent across the entire company or even consistent. But I would say you see it in a lot of spots and with a lot of people," said Scott Pitasky, a Microsoft corporate vice president in human resources.
The change has come about partly because of direction from the top.
Ballmer, in his recent appointments to key positions, has emphasized the importance of cooperation across the whole company as its products and services become evermore intertwined: Skype on Xbox, for example, or Yammer in Office.
He also has stressed the importance of picking up the pace on updates as the company increasingly focuses on providing services.
These days, people are used to getting new features frequently in their services and apps. If those innovations don't come fast enough, or if there's a void in the market, competitors rush in.
Part of the shifting company culture has also bubbled up from the bottom.
More job candidates and employees either have experiences with startups or are attracted to their flatter hierarchies, high energy and sense of urgency and ownership.
In a market where Microsoft is fiercely battling for top-tier talent against newer tech giants such as Google and Amazon.com, as well as nimble startups, having that sort of vibe can be a recruiting plus.
And it appears Microsoft is realizing that it can learn from the cultures of the startups it acquires.
Hard lessons
That hasn't always been the case. For instance, several years ago, after it purchased Silicon Valley startup Danger, maker of the Sidekick mobile phone, employees at Danger felt their startup culture clashed with Microsoft's corporate one, and things took far longer to build than they were used to. And many of Danger's people ended up working on Microsoft's own smartphone, the short-lived Kin.
"In the past, we had the orientation of: 'How's the technology? How strong are the people they have?'?" Pitasky said. "We paid attention to their culture in terms of integrating [them into Microsoft]. But ... I don't think we paid as much attention to their culture in terms of learning from it."
Now, he said, "We are a lot more aware of the culture of the companies that we are acquiring ... not just what they're doing but how they're doing them."
Yammer opportunity
That seems to be the case with San Francisco-based Yammer, the business social-networking and collaboration startup Microsoft bought last year. Yammer, which provides a Facebook-like social network for companies, has about 350 employees in San Francisco and London offices.
"I actually think Microsoft is learning a lot from us, and we've been eager to share some of those things," said Kris Gale, vice president of engineering at Yammer.
Indeed, some engineers on Microsoft's Redmond campus who used to be part of the SharePoint team have adopted some of those principles and re-branded themselves "Yammer North." SharePoint is Microsoft's work-collaboration software.
But, Gale points out, there are two things working in Yammer's favor that were perhaps absent when Microsoft acquired other startups.
The first is timing.
"We're in Office at a time when they're transitioning to services and they're working on increasing their cadence, trying to get faster," Gale said. "It was easy to say: 'We have these cultural things that are important to us and we think they might provide value to you.'?"
Microsoft, like many other engineering-focused companies, is hierarchical and centered on predictability, Gale said.
Yammer's hierarchy is flatter, and its engineers organized in a more free-flowing fashion, forming, disbanding then reorganizing as ever-new projects start.
"There's no traditional concept of product ownership or code ownership," Gale said, leading to fewer turf battles and lots more flexibility.
The second factor in Yammer's success at Microsoft, Gale said, is assertiveness on its own behalf.
As much as senior leaders may buy into the idea that their staff can learn from an acquired smaller company's culture, middle layers often want things done as they've always been.
Though he declined to get into details, Gale said there have been times when Yammer clashed with Microsoft on IT or human-resources policies.
"We were able to appeal to senior leadership and get that resolved," he said. "With Yammer, we've been firm about company values, about employee empowerment."
Acting on idea
Shahine, a development lead with Microsoft's Online Services Division, is working on Bing Offers Card-Linked, which electronically links a user's credit card with discount deals featured on Bing Offers. When someone purchases a deal, the discount is automatically applied to their credit-card statement.
That means the user doesn't have to carry easily misplaced coupons; or, if the offer is for 50 percent off if a customer spends $20 at a certain retailer, the offer is automatically redeemed when you ring up $20 at checkout.
"The idea was about how we can make this simpler, more customer-friendly," Shahine said.
There were questions team members didn't have answers to, he said, such as whether they should first attract merchants or customers. So they decided to just try putting the idea out there and getting a pulse on what works and what needs changing. Card-Linked is now up on the Bing Offers beta site.
Bing Offers, which also will be featured on Outlook.com and Skype (for customers who use the no-fee version of the service), is an example of how the company is integrating its products.
Such collaboration "is a rallying cry. We all feel it," said Ben Gilbert, who runs The Garage, Microsoft's initiative to encourage innovation among employees.
Project center
The Garage is a community and actual physical space on the Redmond campus where employees can work on their side projects and get feedback. A number of employee projects that have come out of The Garage have been incorporated into company products -- and at a quicker pace these days.
That's important, Gilbert says, "in a services world, where you have to move quickly."
Then there are the one-time events that attempt to incorporate some elements of startups, such as hackathons -- a set time during which programmers and others create code or software for defined purposes.
One of Pitasky's recruiting-team members came up with the idea to hold a 24-hour nontechnical "hackathon" to brainstorm how they could improve the recruiting experience for college candidates.
They held the event a few weeks ago in The Garage, complete with a Zumba class at night, a yoga class in the morning, and no requirement that people be there the entire time.
Typically, ideas for improving recruitment processes pop up here and there among team members, then take six more months to execute, said Anthony Rotoli, the technical recruiter who came up with the "hackathon" idea.
"I thought it would be better to just knock it out all at once, then implement it immediately," Rotoli said.
Pitasky said this sense of a startup culture at Microsoft is only just emerging -- but enough so that "it's something we're starting to be able to expose to candidates," along with the traditional strengths of Microsoft, such as its scale and resources.
"There's this recognition," Pitasky said, "that maybe we're heading toward trying to get the best of both worlds."

Morris & Essex Kennel Club Dog Show 2010
By Debra Lampert-Rudman
"To reach a high standard of perfection requires painstaking effort. And once that standard has been established, it becomes increasingly difficult to raise it, periodically, to even higher planes. Yet such a thing has been happening, yearly, with the great Morris and Essex Kennel Club Show."
Somerset, NJ - The quote above may have been penned by Arthur Frederick Jones in the July 1, 1937 edition of the American Kennel Gazette, but is equally true of the 2010 Morris & Essex Kennel Club show set for Thursday, October 7 at Colonial Park in Somerset, New Jersey.
"The Dog Fancier of the Century"
The level of detail and planning that go into this show are spectacular. The sterling silver trophy display is like none seen at any other outdoor dog show and includes many very special historical pieces. In fact, the 2010 Premium List was 200 type-written pages to include the array of trophies, prizes, and programs.

not sure about opening visio diagrams, but there is kivio, the default seems to be kivio files and xml files.

I don't need to open visio files I need to write diagrams in a program that is like visio. We don't have visio and I have this one program to write and can't justify the price of the software plus licenses for something I am going to use once.

(Reuters) - United Continental Holdings Inc
Average daily departures will fall by around 60 percent, leading to 36 percent less capacity based on seats, Chief Executive Jeff Smisek said in the memo.
"Our hub in Cleveland hasn't been profitable for over a decade, and has generated tens of millions of dollars of annual losses in recent years," Smisek said.
The reduction could result in up to 430 airport operations staff and 40 catering personnel losing their jobs, Smisek said.
A pilot shortage accelerated the decision to reduce flights, Smisek said.
New federal regulations implemented last year require more flight experience from pilots than previously needed, resulting in a shortage of pilots across the industry.
Local officials had expressed concern that United would drop Cleveland because the airline has a hub in its headquarter city of Chicago, and because the two cities are relatively close to each other.
But United plans to keep pilot and flight attendant bases there as well as technical operations, Smisek said.
United was formed by a merger of UAL and Continental in 2010.

I love the idea of journaling and blogging my day to day activities but also my thoughts, feelings and experiences. I never get round to writing much so hopefully Ill get more in a habit online as I spend a lot of my time typing away and browsing the net. I will have to try and find a way to make this more permanent - hopefully I will be able to print them out as I go. Perhaps I will get back into journaling- I need the perfect one.

Sorry they killed your mate. What happened?
- They raided early one morning. My mate had gone out to take water samples, and she got caught alone. They beat her to within inches of her life, then set her on fire.
- I understand your rage. They must pay.

News and Views from the SCRT
The new International Trade Association ICRA is well on its way. The affiliation agreements have been sent to all the participating associations. The by-laws are all in order and approved. The SCRT board approved all that is required to be a part of the organization just days ago through an online meeting. The budget for SCRT was approved through the same meeting. During the budget meeting there was a motion and a second to pay the first year's dues to ICRA by SCRT from the reserve fund. This was passed and became part of the budget for 2012. The dues for ICRA are $50 per person. During this first year, while the organization is getting started and benefits are being developed, SCRT members can be a part of the organization and help promote and bring ideas to the board of directors. Elections will be held in April to seat the permanent board of directors to replace the interim board that was originally set to get the association set up and started.

More about Jason
This is the story of how the ChickenHeadFan came to be. Social media has been an interest of mine since I first joined Myspace in high school as a way to help promote my band. After high school i moved from a small town to Chicago to study graphic design, photography, and marketing. This is when I started to become interested in using the internet and social tools to interact with an artist or company's fans and I started getting serious about making social media my career. Also during college my natural love of music grew because in Chicago I had access to great live music all the time and friends exposing me to many different genres and artists.
I found my chicken hat at a vintage clothing store in Chicago and began wearing it to concerts immediately. The hat attracted attention and I began meeting many interesting people. I wanted to connect with these people later so I created this persona in the form of a Facebook page and a Twitter feed called "Chickenhead Fan." Through those sites I update my subscribers with set lists, band news, pictures, videos, and whatever else I feel like posting. My dream is to make a career through social media and I think the Summer Camp Counselor position would be a great way to blend my two passions: music and social media.

Brad Pitt is taking a few days off from playing stay-at-home dad while Angelina makes Wanted to visit New Orleans and talk about his efforts in the area. I know I've already talked about how hot he looked during his Ann Curry interview, but just look at him gesture -- le sigh. This morning part one of the interview aired on The Today Show. The full video is below, but here are highlights:
- On rebuilding New Orleans: I know a lot of the people here. I care very much for the area. I met a 60 year old man who...said [to me], 'I did everything right. I got a job. I bought a home. I raised my kids in that home. They did the same. Now...we're all split apart and we've been wiped out...What do I do?' And he's right...that's unacceptable. So any debate on 'should we rebuild, should we not' -- I'll take you on."
- On the lessons of Katrina: It's a justice issue. What we saw [with] Katrina is that there is a portion of our society that's being overlooked. And so, in the aftermath, we're not going to be able to bring back the friends and family that are lost. We're not going to be able to bring back their heirlooms and their photographs. But maybe, this is a question we presented, maybe we can provide a better way of life. Maybe we can find some good out of this. And that has to deal with justice and fairness."
Brad's only in NOLA for a couple of days before he's set to appear this weekend in the Hamptons. This doesn't mean his philanthropy work for the week is done, however, as he is hitting up the NY summer destination for a charity event to benefit Hurricane Katrina victims hosted by himself and Angelina.

The state government of Louisiana had so many opportunities to help the people affected, and they let them slip by.

Brad saw an opportunity to use celebrity for good and took it. I believe he is a humble man and is doing this not for publicity but because he really wants to make a difference! Everyone should care more for what he can give to others and less for what the others or even government should give him!

i watched this interview on the evening news tonight, and one reported fact was in this news piece that it is not Brad Pitt who brought this Green Project to life in New Orleans, but the people themselves, Mr Pitt is just acting as spokesperson to bring attention to this project.....well how about that! No wonder he's in a perpetually clean white tee shirt. Go away Bradley, your sort of help isn't needed in our country.

Brad' doing a good thing.. Bravo to him. He doesn't need the publicity.

Makes you want to put Brad on the running ticket doesn't it. I mean it's rare when we see them say that they'll do something and then actually go out and do it. A lot of them do things for attention but Brad and Angie don't work that way all the time, unless they are shinning the light on something useful.

Vmars, you don't know that adultery was committed. People can be attracted to each other, and keep control over themselves at the same time.

Boy, ladies, it is time to move on. This is about what he is doing now not about what may or may not have happened in the past. Bill Clinton was a notorious womanizer but I'd still much rather have him as our president right now over the r-tard that hasn't cheated on his wife we have running the country now. That one thing doesn't and shouldn't define a person. It's the overall. I got cheated on and yes it sucked but you know what I got over it and my ex is now a good friend to me and my husband. You have to let it go.

His work, etc is for wonderful reasons and I think he looks totally yummy, but I also agree with Blondie3-He was married. That obviously doesn't mean much to some people, but to myself it does. If you've been married and cheated on (I have) , it kinda sucks. So I find it a little annoying that Brangelina try to be so wholesome now. Come on..not to be preachy, but adultery is a SIN, people.

pinkprincess1101 7 years
my first question what does jenn aniston have to do with this post, second i called brad an idiot based on who hes with he morphes into them, im glad he is helping and brining awareness, i was saying to nya that the more she post about him convinces me that he morphes into whoever hes with, i hate rephrasing sh*t, this is my take on the whole katrina thing: we had so many katrina victims here in san antonio,texas and yes i do believe that most of them are doing nothing to better themselves, i inderstand they went through something very tragic, what about our soldiers who see death or kill on a daily basis, that is who i feel sorry for, and come home all messed up in the head and are turned away because no one wants to deal with them or their conditions, katrina victims feel the world is owed to them, i understand children and the elderly, but not healthy people capable of getting on their feet and working, and those are the ones complaining using it as an excuse, the majority of our katrina clients expect so much from my lawfirm, demanding loans all the time when they are capable of working, ive only met ONE katrina person who actually wanted to work and works at one of my attorney friends lawfirm, btw brad looks so damn hot, prefer his hard hat over the fedora and day

ilek 7 years
Italygal I completely agree with you. Sadly, there are many narrow minded individuals in this world that would rather see their celebrities tan and play a third wheel all the time than doing something worthwhile for a community. I am sure that those that live in NO are grateful that someone is doing something to help rebuild. I know I would be if I was in the same situation.
lhomey 7 years
I've said it in previous posts -- I think he's doing great work. And I also think it's great that he's bringing attention back to NOLA. But this is the third post in a row about the exact same subject. Granted, it's an important subject, but c'mon...
italygal 7 years
Except Nyara, you're overlooking the fact that Brad isn't just taking camera crews and telling Ann Curry that people need to pay attention. *HE* is rebuilding what the government is either too lazy or too uncaring to build. *HE* put together plans for the architecture of the buildings.*HE* had the idea to partner with an Eco-Friendly charity. I mean Jeez, pushing your dislike, or hate of someone so far that you can't acknowledge a good deed when it's slapping you in the face is kind of ridiculous.
kangass2 7 years
so yeah, i actually LIVE in New Orleans. and someone with as much hype as Brad Pitt coming down here, trying to help us rebuild and bring attention to our needs is unbelievable. y'all talk this smack about him, but he still has power to his name to attract attention.
DulceSkye 7 years
I despise Paris Hilton. She represents all things vile and disgusting. But if I read a post about her being involved in a worthy cause like the rebuilding of NO, or global warming, I'd refrain from posting my personal feelings about her as an individual, and focus on what she's doing. Not who she is. It just seems meanspirited to call Brad an annoying sh*t and an idiot when the post was about his charitable work. I don't care how boring he is, I'm just glad he's doing SOMETHING.
lula29 7 years
I think it's rare governments do what they are suppose to in a Democracy because the everyday citizens rely on government to work on autopilot without any work or effort on their part. Katrina doesn't have to be and shouldn't be like Darfur in this country because we have mechanism set in place to prevent that. It's up to us to push government to use that machinery to inact change. Darfur, well they same governmental infrastructure hasn't been set in place IMO.
Deba 7 years
yeah because Aniston is such a caring human...
nyaradzom2001 7 years

Oh, Jeez Blondie, it's been two years. Can we move on, for God's sake? Do you hate everyone who has divorced? You say he cheated but you have no proof of that. There are so many people who have done so much worse in this world. Can we please just grow up and let that go? I really can't believe people still bring that up. It's ridiculous.
lula29 7 years
I think it's time to let it go. At any rate I'm not going there. Anyway, I feel it's good to continue to focus on NOLA because that's what we're supposed to do in order to push the government to do it's job. Eventually, if we as citizens keep sounding the alarm, government will wake up and realize it has no choice but to act.

What does his past relationship with Jennifer Aniston have to do with New Orleans?
blondie3 7 years
Brad just has no personality. I mean him and Angelina belong together. They are both weird and boring people. It does annoy how everyone thinks he is this great family man, when he left his wife for someone else. He's just a jerk, and It's annoying that him and Angelina try to do all this charity work to look like good people, but I think when a man leaves his wife or cheats on her that says a lot a/b someone personality, and in a negative way.
lula29 7 years
I don't advocate moving on from the rebuilding of NOLA at all. I think the issue is too important. Whether or not a person wants to praise Brad Pitt is up to them, but I love the discussion of something I feel is important and should be handled.

Enough already about Brad building houses in NOLA. We know, we've given him pats on the head, let's move on...

Bravo Italygal! You are totally dead on... He is actually DOING something for the greater good of the people in N.O. unlike our government who has done nothing but give empty promises. If this had happened in Malibu the entire area would have been rebuilt within 6 months. What does that say about our governments priorities!
nyaradzom2001 7 years
I personally think that Katrina was a travesty that just highlighted the problems withing the system. And it's all good to talk but really at the end of the day if administration feels it's done enough there is nothing Brad or Oprah can do short of rebuilding it themselves. NO has had tonnes of coverage but the sad fact is that it just wasn't important enough now if this was Dubya's hometown you can bet your a** that something would have been done. Therefore i won't be applauding Brad for spotlighting NO because heck it's been spotlighted before. I just want to see if something like this weer to happen in a less chocolate city would people act the same way!!
Deba 7 years
its actually funny to look at comments that he is an idiot because he cares
canthelpwatching 7 years
fashionstar - I do agree with you, BUT, I think it's fine to do charity work AND go shopping and on vaca. We shouldnt expect people to only be one or the other. He tries to do both and I find that admirable. I agree that people who are one dimensional are not full people. I assume you're talking about people like Paris and Britney.
canthelpwatching 7 years
Most people have either forgotten about Katrina or just don't care to help them anymore. I live in Texas right now and all I hear from my fellow suburban moms and dads is, "Ew, did you see there are new refugees in town?" Anyone black who shows up in the neighboring apt complex is a "refugee" from NO. People here are soooooooooooooo tired of them coming and are soooooooooooooo rude about it. They're even building a new school in my subdivision that blocks out the apt complex so that we don't have to deal with the "refugees." How is that for philanthropy? It kills me every time I hear it. So while Im not a Brad Fan, I am glad that someone is still trying to bring attention to a problem that has not been solved.

I agree with italygal, I think what he's doing is great and is bringing attention to a cause that seems to be forgotten by most America, and I don't think he's an idiot at all. I think he's compassionate, and caring because he seriously be somewhere on a beach on shopping in Beverly Hills and not at all concerned about real life, so kudos to him. BTW, he's so hot and this makes him even more so. I'd really like to go help rebuild down there too.
italygal 7 years
Exactly Jillness. Brad made an excellent point during the interview, that the level of catastrophe in NO was not a natural disaster, it was a man made disaster. And the goverment treating it as something that couldn't have been prevented is appalling. They absolutely could have contained the damage of Katrina, from supporting the levees to helping the city evacuate to providing those who couldn't evacuate with emergency support. And that's not even getting into what the survivors had to endure while cooped up in the Superdome. The whole thing is heartbreaking. So everyone here who wants to be petty and hate on Brad for his past transgressions, go ahead. It just makes you look small. And I know, I'm getting worked up about this but as someone who helped out in the days and months after Katrina hit, to see someone actually DOING SOMETHING productive and giving it his all is beyond amazing. Brad has been at this for two years now and his level of commitment can't be questioned.

Here is an article from 2005 stating how FEMA wouldn't release the ice: http://edition.cnn.com/2005/US/09/04/katrina.blame/index.html Here is an article about the $12.5 million to store and melt the ice. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2007-07-15-katrinaice_n.htm

I agree with Italygal. What he is saying is true. Our government (and the people that support it) dealt with Katrina in this mindset, "Everyone who can afford to leave will, and those that don't are just too lazy (poor) to take care of themselves." I have actually been in a crisis situation where myself and the people of my community were suddenly stranded with no drinking water, and without the National Guard bringing it to us, we would have died. I guess my home state has more lobbying pull than Louisiana. In Katrina, a "State of Emergency" was declared 3 DAYS before it hit. That meant the state was crying out, "Help us Federal governement! We can't evacuate these people on our own!" Because of lack of Federal funding to maintain the levees, both state and Federal KNEW the levees wouldn't hold. The government was incredibily lazy, and treated the poor and handicapped of N.O. like they were an expendable commodity. Disgusting. And yet now, how much has changed as a result of this deadly incompetance?

Well, we don't know if he donated money, but he's bringing attention to the problems and hopefully this will get the government's attention. Did you all hear about FEMA storing the ice that never reached those needing it? $12.5 MILLION DOLLARS on storing the ice and then MELTING it. Yes, melting it. I saw it on CNN. I will place a link in my next comment because then my message will get flagged. So basically, it's not Brad Pitt's responsibility to give this man money, it's the government who is failing these people.

I think it shows a certain kind of ignorance when people bash a celebrity for being passionate about helping others. While seeing Brad with his kids is "cute" it doesn't say anything about him as a person. This does.

he University of Central Oklahoma School of Music will present a special performance honoring the 100th birthday of famed American composer John Cage (1912-1992) at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 4 at the UCO Jazz Lab located in Edmond.
The John Cage tribute performance is a part of the School of Music's Faculty Artist Concert Series, a yearlong performance series featuring the talents of Central music faculty members. All performances take place on Tuesday nights at 7:30 p.m. at the Jazz Lab.
David Hardman, director of percussion studies at Central, will be the featured performer in the John Cage tribute concert.
Hardman has performed/recorded with numerous world-class musicians including jazz players such as Joe Lovano, Wynton Marsalis, John Abercrombie, Dave Liebman and Nat Adderly. He has also performed with the band Yes, Ray Charles, Barry Gib and various bands and orchestras across the nation.
Hardman chose to honor John Cage's 100th birthday with this special performance because of the incredible contribution Cage has made to the music world.
"John Cage expanded the definition of what music is and even expanded what qualifies as a musical instrument," said Hardman.
"He was a true artist that impacted the world of music tenfold and I can't wait to share some of his incredible works with the audience. People will leave the concert with a whole new view on the definition of music."
Cage was a composer, music theorist, writer and artist who is revered as a pioneer of indeterminacy in music, electroacoustic music, and non-standard use of musical instruments. Cage was one of the leading figures of the post-war avant-garde and is considered by critics as one of the most influential American composers of the 20th century.
Cage is perhaps best known for his 1952 composition "4'33"," which Hardman and other Central music faculty members will perform as part of the tribute concert.
Tickets are $10 and can be purchased by calling the UCO School of Music at 405-974-5004. Admission is free for Central students with a student I.D. Half of the proceeds will go toward Central Music scholarships, and the rest will support the school.

Guilty of Insider Trading: A Discussion with Garrett Bauer
Tuesday, March 20th at 12:30pm. Teplitz Memorial Courtroom
Garrett Bauer pled guilty to insider trading and money laundering in December 2011. Bauer was a trader in NYC who engaged in insider trading for 17 years netting him $37 million. He was able to run this scheme for with the help of an attorney, Matthew Kluger, who worked at some of the largest law firms in the country (Cravath, Skadden) and shared confidential information to Bauer. Mr. Bauer will be discussing the details of what he did, how he got caught, the FBI raid of his apartment, his experience in a maximum security prison, and what life is like now that he is facing a sentence of up to 11 years in federal prison. This event will be via Webcast as Mr. Bauer is unable to physically travel to Pittsburgh. There will be a question and answer period following his discussion.

Retailers are trying to boost sales with longer-than-ever hours and more discounts as shoppers -- who fell into a lull between Black Friday and Christmas Eve -- get set to begin the last pre-holiday gift-buying weekend.
Macy's is trumpeting its first around-the-clock shopping event at most of its stores, from 7 a.m. Friday through the final minutes of Sunday. Ross Park Mall and South Hills Village will be open until 11 p.m. every night through Saturday, and until 10 Sunday.
Toys R Us will stay open for 88 hours, from 6 a.m. Friday through 10 p.m. Monday, and CEO Jerry Storch told CNBC this could be a record-breaking weekend, especially Saturday.
This season brought surprises.
"It started out very strong with Black Friday weekend, but it didn't seem to hold. It quieted down quite a bit," retail expert Jeff Green said on Wednesday. Activity has picked up in the last week, he understands.
Possible factors: Malaise brought on by the 32-day span, the longest possible, from the day after Thanksgiving to Christmas. Economic worries and mild, wet weather that dampened enthusiasm for sweaters and coats.
Will Hall of Renfrew notices more last-minute shoppers this year. He was at Toys R Us in Cranberry on Wednesday morning, a quiet time, and filled a shopping cart with gifts for son Liam, 3.
"I'm glad I work the afternoon shift. The stores have been packed," he said, adding he's finished all his shopping, except for a gift card for his uncle.
But only about a third of shoppers have completed their gift-buying, American Research Group said.
Ross Steinman, an associate psychology professor at Widener University, said some shoppers procrastinate because they're worried about finding the perfect gift.
Emotions are tied up in presents, he said, and people realize a too-small or too-big gift can alter a relationship. "What do they do instead? They avoid it," he said, adding shoppers can benefit by waiting for the highest last-minute markdowns.
Jeff Herzog, an Army officer who teaches at Slippery Rock University, was at Toys R Us in search of Monster High girl dolls. "It was buy-one, get-half-off on the second," he said, adding that his daughter, Gabby, will get one for Christmas and another later.
Retail traffic counter ShopperTrak said activity was up 15.1 percent last week through Saturday compared to the prior week, but down 4.4 percent from a year ago.
While this Saturday promises to be one of the five busiest shopping days of the season, the Chicago-based firm trimmed its retail sales forecast for November and December to a 2.5 percent increase from a year ago, down from 3.3 percent predicted in September. It blamed Superstorm Sandy, recent shootings at retail centers and economic woes as factors. ShopperTrak's technology works like a virtual turnstile to count visitors at retail centers.
"There's been more awareness around heavily discounted items," said Chris Angell, director of global marketing. "People put off making the time to go to the stores, and the longer they wait, the heavier the pressure is on the merchant" to mark down prices. Still, people are visiting more stores for the first time in four years, he said.
Market research firm IBISWorld forecast that holiday spending will increase 3.7 percent from last year to total $69.2 billion, a lower rate than the 4.9 percent rise in 2011 because of consumers' fear of the effects of the approaching "fiscal cliff."
The Chase Holiday Pulse shows last week's "Green Week" was the busiest seven-day period of the season for transaction volume. Online sales were up 10.7 percent year-over-year through the week as shoppers took advantage of free shipping.
In Cranberry, Mark Kreminski and three co-workers at software company TrueCommerce bought a Kindle, a coffee machine and a TV as gifts to raffle off.
"They were all on sale. There are good prices everywhere," he said.

Interesting data, and thank you for cramming it into a table. Surprised destro lock is so low, mystified by affs skipping dark pact. Leveling one now and that's the gleam in my eye! Am I missing something? I'd've guessed arms & fury numbers would be swapped but I know jack about details of war trees.
It'd be interesting to resample with level sixty-nines and watch the numbers completely change. There's all your ret pallys, I bet.
Megilion is right. If you ask a mage what her spec is she's likely to answer fire or frost even if there are 40 sunk into arcane (mine is arcane/frost). It's a matter of which you use to do your damage and even a true arcane build (high level with arcane blast) needs to use fire/frost for a good chunk of DPS. Likely a majority.
Anyone have experience using slow on bosses? It *looks* great but I'm frost for ice block so just not been an option.
You didn't give your level Corrodias but it depends on the level. Full frost is fantastic for soloing and instances 60 or less. The frost elemental is DPS, weak tanking, and best of all can nova at a distance and with cold snap you can keep him up for most fights. You'll want to do arcane to clearcasting though once you've got the points to spare: pick up nice stuff on the way and free spells = happy mage.
Sorry 'bout the length all

Weddington Way: Bridesmaid Shopping Gets Social
A Burmese Thriller-themed wedding in Vegas. A fairytale wedding on a barn. A salsa-fueled wedding in Zihuantanejo, Mexico. All true wedding stories, all different, all requiring a lot of planning. And while a wedding planner can help with a lot of the details, there are certain parts of the wedding process that can be a bonding experience, rather than a stressful one. Such as outfitting the bridesmaids.
It has taken decades for bridesmaids to surpass goofy stereotypes of dressing in the shadows. These days, designers like Vera Wang, J.Crew, and Lela Rose, are conjuring up cocktail dresses with more style and personality. Also these days, technology can help make bridesmaid shopping a fun, interactive experience. Take a trip to Weddington Way.
Bringing the bridesmaid shopping experience online, Weddington Way is a simple, collaborative process for the brides and her ladies to shop for dresses together. Ideal for weddings where the bridesmaids are scattered across the world, or just busy bodies, here you can shop, save favorites, vote anonymously, rank dresses, order, and track progress. This way everyone feels involved and you can help guide each other to find dresses you may actually like — what a concept.
The shopping part, and fun part, couldn't be more simple. You can sort by color, price, theme, length, designer, neckline, and fabrics. After that, it should be exciting seeing it all come together.
Started by two friends who knew there had to be a more peaceful and fulfilling way for brides and her bridesmaids to shop, Ilana and Benu put their fashion retail and e-commerce expertise into the bridal and technology realms. And it came up roses.

Saturn's Moon Titan Has Soft and Crusty Surface, Probe Landing Reveals
The surface of Saturn's huge moon Titan has the consistency of soft, wet sand with a fragile crust on top, a new analysis of a nearly eight-year-old space probe landing suggests.
Image: This image is an artist's impression of the descent and landing sequence followed by ESA's Huygens probe that landed on Titan. The Jan. 14, 2005 landing was the culmination of a 22-year process of planning, organizing and cooperation between ESA and NASA. Credit: NASA/JPL/ESA
Researchers reconstructed the European Space Agency's Huygens probe landing on Titan, which occurred in January 2005. They determined that Huygens bounced, slid and wobbled to a stop 10 seconds after first making contact with the moon.
The study — which incorporated data from Huygens' instruments and results from computer simulations and a drop test with a model — found that the 400-pound (181-kilogram) probe made a dent 4.7 inches deep (12 centimeters) upon touching down.
"A spike in the acceleration data suggests that during the first wobble, the probe likely encountered a pebble protruding by around an inch from the surface of Titan, and may have even pushed it into the ground, suggesting that the surface had a consistency of soft, damp sand," study lead author Stefan Schröder, of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Germany, said in a statement.
This conclusion is broadly consistent with previous studies of the landing, which determined that Titan's surface is likely quite soft. But the new analysis suggests that a sort of crust lies on top of the soft stuff.
"It is like snow that has been frozen on top," said co-author Erich Karkoschka of the University of Arizona. "If you walk carefully, you can walk as on a solid surface, but if you step on the snow a little too hard, you break in very deeply."
The fact that Huygens bounced and wobbled rather than simply "splatted" suggests that the moon's surface was dry when it touched down, researchers said. This interpretation is bolstered by the dusty cloud the probe seems to have kicked up.

See all the highlights from the final day of Lakme Fashion Week - Summer/Resort
The sheer elegance of six yard presented in innovative modern styles, high on grace and femininity, was the high point of the just concluded Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) Summer-Resort 2013, which also saw glitter of gold on the ramp.
Other unique concepts brought on the ramp also made the five-day event a memorable experience for all and sundry.
If Indian designers presented spectacular collection of six yards, especially in net, international designer Naeem Khan, who made his India debut at the LFW, too introduced a new version of sari called "Ball gown sari".
Specifically designed for the Indian audience, Khan's sari draping style is unique, making it like a ball gown. It was received well when displayed on the ramp.
Draping a sari is no longer tedious for women, thanks to designers for introducing new range of six yards, which were light, yet elegant.
Ace designer Rehane's Indian look was also appreciated greatly at the event. Her clothes, though very desi, had an extremely modern and trendy touch making them appealing.
Even Bhairavi Jaikishan focused on net saris. Titled "Paradise Island", her collection offered net saris with heavy embroideries, salwaar-kameez and embroidered lehengas.
The other designers who showcased a wide variety of saris were Manish Malhotra, Vikram Phadnis, Masaba, Soumitra Mondal, Farah and Firdos, Payal Singhal among others.
Not only were the saris different, they were teamed up with innovative blouses.
Payal Singhal, for whom gorgeous Aditi Rao Hydari walked the ramp, presented and interesting range of innovative blouse designs with her saris. For instance, she presented a spectacular range of buttery mul-saris with free flowing kurtas.
Not only were the audience impressed with the beautiful saris, but so were the celebrities.
Other than that, the fashion week focused a lot on gold accessories, making the collections attractive.
Masaba, who showcased a line called "Postcards of Benaras", used a lot of gold jewellery.
If fashion, style and glamour dominated the event, social causes too found strong foot hold.
Ace designer Vikram Phadnis's "Celebration of Rural India" was a tribute to rural India. He partnered with Swades Foundation, an NGO working for the empowerment of rural India, and dedicated his line to the cause.
Even Narendra Kumar's line "Thought Police", spoke about uprisings of Indian youth in the past one year.
LFW ended March 26 with a fabulous grand finale by Namrata Joshipura and Kareena Kapoor hit the runway looking completely mesmerizing in orange-pink blingy palazzos teamed up with fitting top with a pink semi-formal jacket.
Starting with six budding "Gen Next" designers Debashri Samanta, Karishma Jamwal, Ragini Ahuja, Shubham Kumar, Sneha S. Saha and Stephany D'Souza, the week showcased various renowned designers like Manish Malhotra, Vikram Phadnis, Swapnil Shinde, Rocky S, Arjun Khanna, Naeem Khan, Shantanu and Nikhil among others.
The talent box, a platform by LFW to promote new designers, was also a huge hit.

DreamChess is an open source chess game for Linux, Windows, Dreamcast and BeOS. It features 3D OpenGL API-based graphics and provides various chess board sets, ranging from classic wooden to flat figurines. A moderately strong chess engine is included: Dreamer. However, should this engine be too weak for you, then you can use any other XBoard-compatible chess engine, including the popular Crafty and GNU Chess.

Chromeography Exhibition: The Logo
Collaborating with Laura Serra on the exhibition logo was a delight. I tossed her a disparate pile of photos from the collection and (short of a few final touches) she came back with this.
She managed to balance the flowing style of her natural freehand lettering with the more mechanical nature of mid-century emblems cut from metal. It clearly references several decades of classic automotive brightwork without leaning too heavily on any one example or era. The allusions are obvious yet the mark is completely original. This thing really could exist on a car or refrigerator made anytime between 1930 and 1965.
Two objects — one for the title wall (on Laura's Bel Air silhouette) and one for the window — were milled with a slightly angled bevel and sprayed with a chromesque coating.
More photos of the show later, but for now it's best seen in person.
Thanks to Rob Keller of Mota Italic for these photos.

Ryan Gosling can't vote in this extremely important General Election tomorrow because he's Canadian… You worked so hard to get registered, so that your vote can make a difference. Let your voice be heard! DO IT FOR RYAN GOSLING!
GOOD PEOPLE OF NEW JERSEY! Due to complications caused by Hurricane Sandy, all the counties of New Jersey will be accepting votes for Election 2012 by e-mail/fax! You must request your ballot by 5PM ET tomorrow, November 6, and it must be returned to your county by 8PM ET, the time the polls close. Click here for a list of instructions and county e-mail/fax information. SHARE THIS!
(Note: As this is not the standard method of voting in this state, please do your best to vote in the conventional way, as planned. There might be a greater chance for error. Displaced voters are also currently allowed to vote at the polling location closest to them if that is different from the location where they are registered. But as this was an unforeseen circumstance, issues may occur. Please vote in your proper polling place if possible, but if not, it is ALWAYS better to vote than not vote. GOOD LUCK!)

NY and (some of) PA extend absentee deadlines!November 2, 2012
Check it out, Pennsylvania absentee voters: Gov. Corbett has extended the deadline to return your absentee ballot to Monday, November 5 (received by Monday, that is), but only in counties affected by Hurricane.
Via the Post-Gazette:
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett has extended the deadline for county election offices to receive absentee ballots to Monday, but only in those counties were election offices shut down because of Hurricane Sandy and its remnants.
The extension, which allows ballots to be delivered up until 5 p.m. the night before the general election, also applies to any county whose election office cut its hours because of the storm.
In Allegheny County, the deadline for absentee ballots was extended to Tuesday at 8 p.m. by a court decision earlier this week.
Absentee ballots may be mailed or delivered in person.
Even better news for New Yorkers!
In an emergency meeting late Wednesday, the board voted to ease the original Oct. 30 deadline statewide for faxed or mailed applications, according to a news release. Voters may apply for an absentee ballot in person at local boards of elections through Nov. 5. The board also extended the deadline to submit the ballots in person by six days, from Nov. 13 to Nov. 19. Ballots returned by mail still must be postmarked by Monday, Nov. 5, but have until Nov. 19 to reach the local board.
We've raised $4500 of our $5000 goal AND we've reached over a million voters in the past 31 days. If you think voting is awesome, and you think non-partisan, non-profit resources like Long Distance Voter are valuable, please consider contributing today.
Oy, Pennsylvania! They have the earliest absentee ballot deadline in the nation. Why? Who knows?! But it's tomorrow, so, if you are voting absentee in PA, STOP WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING AND SEND YOUR BALLOT IN IMMEDIATELY!
PS: We were so confused by the conflicting information here and here that we had to call PA and confirm. Yes, regular civilian absentee ballots MUST BE RECEIVED tomorrow (Nov 2) to count. Only overseas and military ballots will be counted if they are received on election day.

Coin: So, an alternative has been placed on the table. Since my colleagues and I can come to no consensus, it has been agreed that we will let the victors decide. A majority of four will approve the plan. No one may abstain from the vote. What has been proposed is that in lieu of eliminating the entire Capitol population, we have a final, symbolic Hunger Games, using children directly related to those who held the most power.
Peeta: Are you joking?
Haymitch: Was this Plutarch's idea?
Coin: It was mine. It seemed to balance the need for vengeance with the least loss of life. You may cast your votes.
Peeta: No! I vote no, of course! We can't have another Hunger Games!
Johanna: Why not? It seems very fair to me. Snow even has a granddaughter. I vote yes.
Enobaria: So do I. Let them have a taste of their own medicine.
Peeta: This is why we rebelled! Remember? Annie?
Annie: I vote no with Peeta. So would Finnick if he were here.
Johanna: But he isn't, because Snow's mutss killed him.
Betee: No. It would set a bad precendent. We have to stop viewing one another as enemies. At this point, unity is essential for our survival. No.
Katniss: I vote yes…for Prim.
So, an alternative has been placed on the table. Since my colleagues and I can come to no consensus, it has been agreed...
Haymitch: I'm with the Mockingjay.
