Trash Bins Back on Washington Beaches

February 7, 2013

State officials say they are seeing an increase in marine debris items this winter.
To help visitors keep our coast clean, the Department of Ecology have re-deployed trash bins at Ocean Shores, Grayland, and Long Beach.

Ecology is working with Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission to assess the need at other beach locations.

Steve Brand, State Parks field operations manager said that anyone on the beaches can help keep them clean. “While you are out walking on the ocean beach or clam digging, please help us keep our beaches clean.”

Beachgoers are encouraged to bring their own bags to pick up debris. Locally, bags may also be available at the Ocean Shores Police Department, Ocean Shores Visitor Information Center and from State Parks staff.

Global Diving & Salvage, a Seattle-based private contractor, has donated 2,000 bags to the state to help with beach cleanup efforts.

Should law be open source?

May 5, 2010Duke Law News

The pros, cons, and challenges to making legal materials publicly available for free were probed at an April 28 workshop sponsored by Duke Law’s Center for the Study of the Public Domain (CSPD).

Leading scholars, including some of the Law School’s leading open access proponents, discussed, a proposed system to provide free online access to all primary legal materials in the U.S. Participants included the main architect of the system, Carl Malamud, Andrew McLaughlin, deputy chief technology officer in the Executive Office of the President, and David Ferriero, Archivist of the United States, as well as Dean David F. Levi, Professor James Boyle, and Richard Danner, Duke’s senior associate dean for information services and Rufty Research Professor of Law.

The daylong discussion focused on the definition of primary legal materials, privacy issues, the challenges of preserving and authenticating legal materials online, and the underlying value of making those materials freely available.

Primary legal materials –– including statutes, regulations, court opinions, and hearing transcripts, among other texts –– are often hidden behind pay-for-access, password-protected portals. Backers of the idea say that making the law accessible will promote transparency and informed democratic participation.

Boyle, Duke’s William Neal Reynolds Professor of Law, likened the law to a computer’s operating system, and the movement to the programming community responsible for open-source software, which could be copied freely. “[The programmers were] deeply committed to this notion that the hood of the car should not be welded shut.”

The open-source movement initially flummoxed lawyers and economists, he said. “They said, ‘How are these people going to get paid? How is this going to be sustained as an ongoing idea?’” But making some software coding available to all engendered new and creative ideas, and eventually led to innovation, he noted.

“We should explore creatively, as the open-source software community did, ways in which one could not only make this open and public, but by which layers of activity, some for-profit, some non-profit, could be built on top of a commons of accessible material,” Boyle said.

Malamud also promoted advantages of freely accessible, searchable material, saying that legal scholars could break new ground in research if enough data from courts was made more easily available. “[Legal scholars], given the opportunity to analyze the corpus, are able to find information like ‘Is there discrimination in civil rights cases in district courts, and does that vary across the country.’”

Levi, formerly the chief United States district judge for the Eastern District of California, cautioned that privacy issues were vitally important in any discussion about making court records freely accessible online. In many civil cases, he said, the court functions as a repository for any and all materials that parties enter into the record. Far from being primary legal materials, much of that material consists of allegations and accounts about individual’s private lives, Levi said.

Court records of criminal cases and immigration cases can also be rife with private information, noting that inmates had been killed over plea bargains revealed in court records.

McLaughlin praised Malamud’s efforts with

“What I viewed as something of a windmill-tilting exercise has taken off, and it has gathered steam,” he said. “It’s been really kind of amazing.”

He and Ferriero both discussed the Obama administration’s open government initiative. “On Jan. 21, the day after he took office, President Obama issued as his first memorandum, the open government memorandum,” McLaughlin said. “It mapped out the work plan for the open government initiative… and it was built around transparency, participation and collaboration as the three organizing principles.”

The initiative is loosely aligned with the aims of, inasmuch as it embraces open government, McLaughlin said. “The broad project the first year… was really about figuring out which data we could make public,” he said. “The longer-term project is about culture change.”

That culture change may, in fact, amount to embracing ancient values, as CSPD Director Jennifer Jenkins pointed out in her presentation. She noted that a Minnesota district court had considered whether law was copyrightable in 1886. “The court wrote, in eloquent nineteenth-century language, ‘It is a maxim of universal application that every man is presumed to know the law, and it would seem inherent that freedom of access to the laws should be co-extensive with the sweep of that maxim. Knowledge is the only just condition of obedience.’”

She then discussed the ancient Roman practice of posting the law publicly. “The question I want to ask today is, in terms of public law, are we less advanced in the age of the internet, than in ancient Rome?”

If one has $17K to spend on LG’s 84LM960V UHD (4K) TV already equipped with Broadcom’s BCM43526 chip for 5G WiFi/IEEE 802.11ac transceiver functions, as well as some more for a ’2013 vintage’, Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ ac and Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast™ capable, Android 4.2 smartphone having, for example, Broadcom’s BCM4335 chip for 5G WiFi™ 802.11ac among others (like the new HTC One to be available in March, or LG’s own ‘next generation’ device), then one can already have LG Ultra HD Streaming [TheVerge YouTube channel, Feb 25, 2013]:

LG is demonstrating its wireless Ultra HD transmission technology this week at Mobile World Congress. At the company’s booth I got a chance to walk through a gaming demo on an [LG] Android device that was displaying at 1080p on the phone, upscaling to 4K on the TV. The technology works by connecting over Wi-Fi and using the Miracast peer-to-peer wireless screencast standard, allowing you to simply stream what you’re seeing on the phone to a TV. The streaming was fairly smooth, but panning did cause some frame rate drops occasionally. I noticed that LG is keeping the phone brightness low on its own Android devices for this demo to ensure they don’t overheat, so it’s clear this is an early demo. Nevertheless, if LG and others can bring this technology to the masses in 1080p Android phones, then we’re looking at a future where a phone or tablet could truly be an all round gaming device that connects up to your TV.

A general UHD (4K) capability will come with smartphones having the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC, as an example, when you will be able to play UHD (4K) video content on the smartphone and watch it in UHD (4K) on the UHD TV.

[Recognition] Credible Praise for LG Ultra HD TV by the Experts [WHY LG TV BLOG, Feb 28, 2013]

Best of Innovations 2013 – Video Display Category at CES 2013

“The 84LM9600 is the world’s largest Ultra Definition (UD) 3D TV delivering immersive entertainment in stunning ultra-definition with a combination of CINEMA 3D technology and Smart TV features.”

8/10 Rating by Digital Trends

“Bottom line: Higher pixel density makes images on the screen look more like reality than TV. Scenes of the bright blue Mediterranean looked so convincing; it was hard not to want to jump right in. The stars in night skies looked much more like stars – tiny pinpoints of light – than a smattering of blurry white spots.”

A Stellar Review from HDTV Solutions

“The picture quality of the LG Ultra HD TV is definitely a major step up from the output of a high-end 1080p HDTV. The difference can be startling when playing 4K content. But even when comparing playback of Blu-rays, the LG’s upscaling to 4K is noticeably better.”

Rated Excellent by AVForums

“Once you throw in LG’s reference Smart TV platform, two remotes, Game Play, built-in WiFi, well designed menus and exceptional calibration controls, you start to see a TV that can almost justify its hefty price tag. The huge nature of the screen isn’t reflected in the other dimensions, with the surrounding bezel measuring 3cm at the top, 2.5cm at the sides and 4cm along the bottom. The entire chassis is only 4cm deep, which is remarkable when you consider the screen size and how much technology is crammed inside.”

LG 84LM960V Ultra HD TV [LGBlogUK YouTube channel, Jan 3, 2013]

LG 84 inch ULTRA HD TV presents a whole new level of picture quality, boasting a resolution four times higher than Full HD. Naturally, it is incredibly immersive, vivid and crisp, even when viewed from close distances. Ultra High Definition TV is the future of TV viewing and brings the cinema experience home.

LG Electronics (LG) will showcase its industry-leading Wireless Ultra High Definition (Ultra HD) Transmission technology for the first time at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2013 in Barcelona. This exciting next generation mobile feature enables users to view games and other smartphone content on Ultra HD TVs in real time, via wireless data transfer.

“Thanks to our innovative Wireless Ultra HD Transmission technology, users can now enjoy their favorite mobile content on today’s most advanced Ultra HD TVs,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “With the development of this cutting-edge technology, LG again confirms its industry leadership in the area of display and mobile convergence for a truly enjoyable viewing experience.”

Wireless Ultra HD Transmission technology makes the delivery of smartphone multimedia content to TVs faster and smoother than previous mobile video compression and transfer systems. With minimal lag and data loss, LG’s next generation mobile feature performs this feat using ubiquitous WiFi connections. During transmission, multimedia content is automatically adjusted to match the receiving TV’s screen resolution, resulting in flawless visuals.

What’s more, LG’s Wireless Ultra HD Transmission system consumes less than half the power of other similar transmission technologies. It achieves this by reducing the burden on the smartphone’s CPU and other hardware resources.

Miracast™ Makes a Splash with Partners at Mobile World Congress [Broadcom Connected blog, Feb 25, 2013]

The geek love for Wi-Fi Certified Miracast™, an innovative Wi-Fi standard that relies on a technology dubbed “wireless display mirroring,” seemed to be inevitable when we first started talking about it. The technology, which allows consumers to easily and seamlessly share media from one device to another over Wi-Fi, was designed for today’s multimedia lifestyles.

The Miracast technology standard is built on the premise that users have a ton of content on their smartphones and laptops – photos, videos and games, to name a few – that they’d like to engage with over a large screen. But for users to seamlessly transfer that content, the technology standard must reside in both the device and the display.

That’s where Broadcom comes into the game. Broadcom and its partners are looking to spur on Miracast adoption with software and hardware that aims to speed up the integration of Miracast into electronics, getting the technology to consumers faster.

At Mobile World Congress today, Broadcom is highlighting recent Miracast partnerships with top tech players and retailers — including Google (in Android 4.2), Intel, Roku, NVIDIA, Best Buy Stores and more.

Adoption is expected to pick up steam this year as Miracast shows up in PCs, smart TVs and gaming platforms worldwide, including products like the Nexus 4, some of LG Electronics’ TVs and Optimus G smartphones, Samsung’s Galaxy S III smartphone and others. Some 1.5 billion Miracast devices are expected to ship in 2016, according to ABI Research.

Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast™ is appearing in a range of televisions, tablets, handsets and more. Miracast makes it easy to display applications or video content from one Wi-Fi device on another, even when the devices are different brands. http://www.wi-fi.org/miracast

[Note the second demo at [1:07-2:08] which is by using an LG Optimus smartphone for wireless streaming.]

Broadcom’s contribution to the Miracast ecosystem is in the form of a robust, complete software stack that allows smartphone, display, smart TV and set-top box makers to roll out  the technology in their newest products.

Broadcom is also offering an off-the-shelf wireless dongle design that allows display makers to add Miracast to any device with an HDMI port — similar to the early products that helped bring Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to personal computers before the now-standard technologies were embedded. Best Buy is already selling Miracast-enabled video receivers in its online under its Rocketfish brand, featuring Broadcom’s technology.

The standard has been promoted by the Wi-Fi Alliance and Broadcom since last year. In September, the Wi-Fi Alliance handpicked Broadcom’s technology for its Miracast test bed. And Miracast-enabled devices were all over the show floor at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last month, with somebig-name CE players throwing their weight behind the standard to continue to drive adoption momentum.

        Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global innovation leader in semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications, today announced the world’s first Ultra High Definition Television (UltraHD TV) video decoder solution on the market. Learn how Broadcom® innovation is enabling the Connected Life at home, at work, and on-the-go at Broadcom@CES.
        The BCM7445 is the first step to delivering UltraHD TV into the home with the performance and picture quality needed for the evolution in multi-screen connected home entertainment. Broadcom’s 28 nanometer (nm) ARM-based BCM7445 UltraHD video decoder solution, serving as the primary gateway to the home, delivers more transcoding, CPU processing performance and home networking throughput to support a greater range of applications such as video-on-demand (VoD), gaming, social media and web store applications.
        UltraHD TV technology, formerly known as 4K, marks a major innovation in HD resolution. UltraHD TV screens display four times the resolution of today’s 1080p60 displays. The delivery of UltraHD TV requires a more efficient compression codec made possible by the use of the new High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard. HEVC speeds Internet video downloads giving operators and users the ability to download content such as movies in half the time and with higher quality video at 50 percent of the bit rate previously required.
        “The clarity and brilliance of UltraHD television is a significant step forward in viewing enjoyment and is the next true evolution in TV innovation,” said Dan Marotta, Broadcom’s Executive Vice President and General Manager, Broadband Communications Group.”By integrating HEVC, Quad 1080p transcoding, quad-core CPU, gigabit networking speeds and web domain security, Broadcom is enabling a dramatic improvement in the TV viewing experience while making UltraHD video delivery economics work for service providers.”
        HEVC, which will be known as MPEG-H or H.265, will be required to broadcast UltraHD content, notably major sporting events and Hollywood content,” said Michael Inouye, Senior Analyst of TV and Video, ABI Research.  “Next generation user experience, including 80 inch and larger displays, will be improved by the adoption of UltraHD and HEVC. The efficiency of HEVC will also enable additional services including faster IP downloads and the provisioning of VoD services over wireless networks.”
        Key Features:

            Miracast™ Technology Brings Wireless Streaming to the Living Room [Broadcom Connected blog, Jan 3, 2013]

            Moving high-definition content from a small-screen device such as a smartphone or a tablet to a bigger screen, such as a TV or desktop computer, can be a challenge. But thanks to a technology standard that’s on the verge of going mainstream, those headaches are about to become a thing of the past.

            Meet Miracast™, a technology that CNET Australia has called “a near-perfect wireless streaming solution.” At next week’s International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, expect to hear about a growing number of devices that are outfitted with Miracast, which is actually a Wi-Fi standard that relies on technology dubbed “wireless display mirroring.

            The idea is for consumers to stream content between Wi-Fi connected devices seamlessly, without an intermediate box such as a router or gateway. Think of Miracast as a seal of approval for electronics devices so that problems with compatibility and interoperability become a thing of the past.

            The standard has been promoted by the Wi-Fi Alliance and Broadcom for some time. In September, the Wi-Fi Alliance handpicked Broadcom’s technology for its Miracast test bed.

            And some big name CE players have already signaled their support for Miracast, including handset and TV makers Samsung and LG.  Embedded companies also have hopped on board, including Intel, Ralink, Marvell, Texas Instruments, Realtek and MediaTek.

            CES 2013 LogoCES 2013 is likely to be Miracast’s true coming-out party with the industry, with hundreds of Miracast-enabled products on the show floor. Miracast is one of the top trends forecast by Broadcom at our December “Geek Peek.”

            At the show today, Broadcom is announcing partnerships with top tech players and retailers —including Google (debuted in Android 4.2), Roku, NVidia, Best Buy and more—to promote Miracast’s adoption.

            Broadcom’s contribution to the Miracast ecosystem is in the form of a robust, complete software stack that allows smartphone, display, smart TV and set-top box makers to roll out technology in their newest products. To further accelerate the adoption, Broadcom is also offering an off-the-shelf wireless dongle design that allows display makers to add Miracast to any device with an HDMI port—similar to the early products that helped bring Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to personal computers before the technologies were embedded

            Miracast is in its earliest stages of adoption. But, already, it’s prepared to meet the needs of next-generation home entertainment, including support for leading-edge 3D and Ultra HD display formats that allow seamless movie streaming, game play and access to thousands of apps—all over Wi-Fi.

            Just in Time for CES: Broadcom and Intel Team Up to Drive Wireless Display Adoption [Broadcom Connected blog, Jan 3, 2013]

            The volume of video being consumed over the Internet is growing at an exponential rate, representing about half of all global Internet traffic today and expected to reach 93 percent by 2015. At the same time, the number of devices consumers are using to watch video is also on the rise. Researchers estimate that approximately 4.8 devices are in an average U.S. household with a home network — nearly double from just four years ago.

            The challenge for consumers is how to share their content between devices. That’s where technologies such as Intel® Wireless Display (Intel® WiDi) come into play.

            Broadcom today became the first Wi-Fi silicon vendor with a license for Intel WiDi technology in PCs.  As part of this agreement, Broadcom will integrate Intel WiDi software onto its WLAN chips to help drive adoption of the technology in Ultrabook™ systems.  The multistream 2×2 Wi-Fi data rates in Broadcom’s chip coupled with Intel WiDi software will deliver a seamless, high-quality experience to users.

            Wi-Fi Display, Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast™ and Intel WiDi are based on the same underlying technologies that allow you to do one very useful thing: easily stream content between two devices wirelessly. Those streams will become more commonplace this year as new standards for Wi-Fi-enabled devices eliminate interoperability and compatibility issues. Intel WiDi and industry standard Miracast are compatible technologies that improve the consumer experience for sharing video content between devices.

            Intel and its ecosystem partners have shipped more than 30 million Intel WiDi-capable notebooks. This agreement will help drive the proliferation of the technology across a much broader offering of notebook PCs. Learn more about Intel WiDi, or visit the Intel booth (Central Hall, Booth No. 7252) at the International Consumer Electronics Show, which is this week at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

            Sharing video content has become a daily event in many households, but many TV;s don’t have the ability to sync with handheld devices in any meaningful way to allow the media content to be streamed to the TV. That being said, TVs are expensive and most people will not buy a new tv simply to add this capability. Hence Flames, which allows devices to stream intelligently to your TV HDMI port via WiFi. The device is self contained with all the relevant software and hardware to enable your tv to become a multimedia hub immediately.

            5G W iFi Smartphone Technology [Broadcom whitepaper, July 2012]

            Mobile-to-Digital TV use cases are gaining traction as consumers begin using interactive gaming, streaming video, and remote control devices in a home. A key benefit is the ability to shift video from a small mobile screen to a larger one using peer-to-peer technologies like Wi-Fi Display and to support the increased throughput required for future video formats such as 2K4K (2048 × 4096 pixels) and 4K4K (4096 × 4096 pixels). With multiple high-resolution video devices connected to a digital TV, this presents a challenge for sustained WLAN throughput and range.

            5G WiFi provides a number of performance advantages compared to previous generations of Wi-Fi:

            • More than six times higher throughput than 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi devices
            • Significantly lower power consumption for a given data range
            • Improved range and elimination of fading by using antenna beamforming
            • Higher throughput at the same distance from an access point
            • Reduced interference from other wireless devices (uses 5 GHz frequency band)
            5G WiFi is not just a technology breakthrough — it enables new use cases and improves existing ones. In the previous generation of smartphones, high bandwidth applications such as HD video streaming are extremely limited due to low data rates. 5G WiFi breaks that barrier and allows media streaming from a handset to a digital television at data rates comparable to that supported by wired Ethernet connections. At the same time, 5G WiFi enables high-speed data and media synchronization, turning an hour-long backup process into a matter of minutes.
            5G WiFi also solves some of the longest-standing problems with Wi-Fi in smartphones. By reducing signal fading and lost connections, it significantly improves the Wi-Fi user experience. By reducing overall power consumption for large data transfers, it also extends battery life.
            In summary, 5G WiFi redefines the concept of a smartphone. Whereas today’s smartphone Wi-Fi users are limited to basic applications such as web browsing and e-mail, tomorrow’s 5G WiFi users will have a fullfeatured media center in their hands.

Slutwalk…in Singapore?

Posted on

I just found out that SlutWalk will be in held Singapore in September/October 2011 (Facebook page: SlutWalk Singapore x Kuala Lumpur) and immediately had questions raised in my head.

Firstly, is Singapore ready for this? Are Singaporean women and men ready to change their way of thinking about issues of sexual assault? Admittedly, I might be out of touch with Singapore now but I can’t help but wonder how much it has changed for the past 8 years. I know women (some are close relatives) who believe that when a woman is raped, it is her fault. SlutWalk is anti-thetic to this type of victim-blaming. So are the women in my life: grandmothers, mothers, sisters, aunts ready for this? I highly doubt this – not without some kind of open dialogue about the aim of SlutWalk. Admittedly, I might be out of touch with Singapore seeing that I haven’t been ‘home’ for more than 2 weeks at a time for the past 8 years. My sample of women I know is also severely limited. So maybe Singaporean women are, in fact, ready for a change? If so, I would like to see what types, what ages, which classes, which races, which religions such women belong to. Why are they ready (or not ready) for SlutWalk? When people gather for SlutWalk, will they truly understand what they are gathering for?

Secondly, is the word ‘slut’ even applicable to Singaporean women? Malay women? Chinese? Indian? I don’t ever remember being called a ‘slut’ in Singapore…actually I’ve never been called a slut (ever? yet?)  but I have been endowed with ‘ice queen’, ‘prude’, ‘ bitch’ and its Malay equivalents such as ‘minah atas’. I actually don’t know what the current Malay equivalent of a ‘slut’ is. According to my dad, it was ‘minah rabak’ in the 1980s when he was in his mid-20s but I currently do not have my ear to the ground in terms of Malay slang.

Thirdly, will SlutWalk even be allowed in Singapore? Isn’t there some kind of rule against public protests? Maybe they’ll sell it as some kind of gathering a la Pink Dot.

And last, is SlutWalk even the type of change that Singapore needs?  I wholeheartedly agree with the aims of SlutWalk (stop victim-blaming) but I can’t help but feel that when it is practiced in the Singaporean context, it is just like any other product that have been exported from the West.

The radicalism of the women’s movements in the Third World have to start taking over the dying movements in the First World.

– abbreviated from Sunera Thobani’s closing keynote at the 2nd annual F-Word Undergraduate Conference (UBC, April 30 2011)

As Sunera Thobani has stated, the women’s movements in the West are dying. I have been witness to that. The world seems to be in a moment of revolution – Singapore is one of them. We have made strides we should be proud of and celebrate. Why does Singapore continually look to the West for affirmation? Is SlutWalk another one of those ‘let’s just follow what the white women are doing’ trends? Because if it is, if it is not because Singaporean women really want it but some kind of trend-following thing, I would be very sad about the whole situation.

Women in Singapore have to start realizing that our histories are different from the West. We are inextricably linked but we do not have to continually look towards them for guidance. The West needs to look at us and take a page out of our book to learn about concrete social change. Case in point: 40% opposition for the first time in 45 years in Singapore vs. Harper majority in Canada.

New word of the day: Androcentrism

Posted on

According to Wiki, androcentrism means “the practice, conscious or otherwise, of placing male human beings or the masculine point of view at the center of one’s view of the world and its culture and history.”

Sociologists are now using the word to mean more than putting male homosapiens in the center of the universe but to also describe a ‘new’ form of “ism”. (It’s only ‘new’ in that the word has recently been added to sociological lexicon. The concept has been around for a while now and I’m sure it has been called several different things.)

Androcentrism: Favoring of masculinity over femininity. Men and women alike are rewarded, but only insofar as they are masculine (e.g., play sports, drink whiskey, and are lawyers or surgeons ). Men are punished for doing femininity and women are required to do femininity and simultaneously punished for it.

Since I’ve graduated and left school (for now), my summer has been filled with…indoor activities. Being a homebody and a strong introvert, I have been filling my time at home – cross stitching, cooking, baking, cleaning. If I do go out, it’s usually to meet friends or to shop. I slowly feel myself turning into a domestic goddess – or can I?

Lena Chen, Chicktionary blogger, recently cross-posted a blog post from Racialious titled Who is the Black Zooey Deschanel?

“Some women want to believe that their predilection for rompers and kittens and baby voices reflects their individual personalities and not some trend toward retro, non-threatening femaleness. But no one chooses their choices in a vacuum and certainly it means something that so many women seem to be finding this super-girlish, childish part of their personalities at the same time, while Katy Perry’s sex and candy persona is tearing up the charts and actual little girls are being bombarded with pink, purple, princesses, tulle and sparkles…

… the persona that Klausner writes about is bound by class and race. The cult of domesticity defined idealized womanhood centuries ago–and that definition included both perpetual childhood and whiteness. The wide-eyed, girlish, take-care-of-me characters that Deschanel inhabits on film are not open to many women of color, particularly black women. We can be strong women, aggressive women, promiscuous women…we can do Bonet bohemian and Earth Mother (as Andrea pointed out), but never carefree and childish. Even black girls are too often viewed as worldly women and not innocents. Also, the affectations of the manic pixie are read differently on black women. A streak of pink in the hair goes from quirky and youthful to “ghetto” on a black body. Thrift store clothing leads to a host of class assumptions.”

Considering women who look like me are usually seen as “the help”, can I really claim to be (evolving into) a domestic goddess?

I’ve never really understood women who pay too much attention to their house. By this, I don’t mean my mother who cooks and cleans all day long in anticipation of a family gathering in a t-shirt and shorts, barefoot but to women who “entertain” for a living, who have matching home decor, who sit at home with makeup and dresses and heels and cook ‘non-smelly’ foods (think salad and baked chicken) for a dinner party. I must say, I’ve tried imagining myself like that, even wishing I had more matching home decor, or that I was more of a “Martha Stewart” hostess but I realize now I do not want and can not become like that.

I grew up watching the women in my life toil in the kitchen, entertain family and friends, worry about the stress of a clean house, maintain working electronics all while raising children and taking care of their husbands. There is no glamour in this type of work. Their hard work, their sweat and their blood, have been passed onto me. I do not clean in heels, dresses or makeup. I do not have someone to clean for me. When I bake, I sometimes mix up the wet and dry ingredients. I use tools that are not meant for baking, tools which are less than perfect. When I cook, I don’t follow recipes. My hands smell of garlic and ginger and onion after I’m done. My clothes smell like fish and my hair smells like chicken kurma.

Housework is not glamourous. It is hard work, usually done by women who typically go unrecognized and unpaid so that the men (or working-outside-of-the-home partner) in their lives can come home to a clean house and a hot meal with or without well-behaved kids. For most women of color, or for most women I grew up with, this is the life we are supposed to pursue. Pursuing higher education is ridiculous because we are literally meant to ‘end up in the kitchen’. So why bother? If I were to get a Master’s degree or a PhD and then decide to just stay at home and take care of my husband and children, I know I would face questions about my choice. In the world I grew up in, it is an either/or situation (even if it’s not meant to be that way). You either choose education and work OR you stay at home and take care of the house, husband and kids. There are limited support structures if you decide to be both a domestic diva and a career woman. Good luck with that.

For most of the women I grew up with, becoming a domestic diva is not a choice. It is an expectation. We cannot simply choose to become domestic divas because it is something we want to do. We are expected to do it. If we want something different, we have to fight for it in the face of disapproval from male and female friends and family members. And it is a long, tough fight – constantly having to explain why want such a lonely husband-less and/or childless life in the name of work and/or books.

The label “domestic diva” is only open to women of certain skin color and certain class. The rest of us are still fighting for the right to choose and to be respected and accepted for our choices.

Summer lovin’

Posted on

I haven’t been doing much lately yet I can’t seem to find the time to write on my blog. I’ve just been relaxing a lot, trying not to think too much about troubles that may come my way….maybe it’s the summer heat but I don’t feel like getting into an argument about feminism or worldly issues that never seem to end.

I must say I am enjoying this life – waking up, not knowing what to do, looking forward to hanging out with good friends, catching up, relaxing…doing things I haven’t had the chance to do for the past four years.

My brain may rot by the end of summer (or by the time I enter grad school in a year or two) but at least my soul will be intact.

Title: Parser Release: TuLiPA
Submitter: Laura Kallmeyer
Description: We announce the first release of

***TuLiPA (Tübingen Linguistic Parsing Architecture)***

TuLiPA is a multi-formalism syntactic parser that is being developed at the
University of Tübingen. This parser currently supports Multi-Component Tree
Adjoining Grammars with Tree Tuples (TT-MCTAG), Tree Adjoining Grammars
(TAG) and Range Concatenation Grammars (RCG).

The first release of this parser is available under a GPL license at:

This release includes the following features:

*Graphical interface displaying the result of parsing (derivation tree,
derived tree, elementary trees involved)

*A robust mode allowing to display partial parses (and to detect the
feature structure mismatches),

*An XML export of the parsing results,

*The computation of dependency structures (using the DTool software
developed within the Chorus project at Saarland University).

TuLiPA is developed in Java, using the GecodeJ constraint programming
library (http://www.gecode.org/gecodej). This library is freely available
for major platforms.

TuLiPA is currently used for the development of a TT-MCTAG for German. For
more information (and for some TT-MCTAG, TAG and RCG examples), please
visit the TuLiPA webpage:

All comments, questions, feature requests and bug reports are welcome.

Laughing all the Way to the Chicken Coop

As I hinted at in my Monday post regarding the appalling news coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing, it really does appear that American cable news has left the building (Sorry, Elvis, I’m sure they are in hot pursuit of you as I write this).

I tracked a story about the bombing on yesterday as it unfolded and knew in my gut that something smelled rotten …

It turns out, it was the false news of CNN’s John King, reporting on the arrest of the alleged bomber — whose face King just happened to note was a dark-skinned male. Wolf Blitzer praised his colleague’s ingenuity as a gumshoe and his “dramatic, exclusive reporting.”

Here’s one of John Stewart’s more memorable moments of late. Turns out he has the exclusive on the exclusive.

Wikipedia describes “yellow journalism” as such:

“A type of journalism that presents little or no legitimate well-researched news and instead uses eye-catching headlines to sell more newspapers. Techniques may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering, or sensationalism. By extension, the term yellow journalism is used today as a pejorative to decry any journalism that treats news in an unprofessional or unethical fashion.”

CNN’s logo should shift to that other primary color. And, no, I don’t mean blue.

At least I was able to figure out what smelled so rotten.

And trust me, there is nothing worse than the smell of a rotten egg yolk.

Of course, you really mean to turn it into one ext2fs partition and
one small swap partition.  And with the bigger disks available now, it
can help to make a third even smaller partition at the _start_ of the
disk for /boot, to keep LILO happy.

On the original posters' query about Partition Magic: If you have it
make some free space on your disk, you can use Linux fdisk to create
the new Linux partitions there.  You will of course have backed up
your Windoze files anyway, since by Murphy's Law the effort you put
into this will be wasted.  Once you install Debian (good choice) you
can "mount" your old Windoze partition and read all your files from it
very easily.

egcs problem

My g++ is sometime crashing with something like "cc1plus got fatal
signal 11".

g++ -c -g -Wall -Wcast-qual  -Woverloaded-virtual -Wconversion

If I add -O2, than the programs are compile OK. So why the program
compiles with optimisation and not without it ? I would have understood
the reverse, but not this !

I have had this problem for a long time. My current g++ is:

Re: Invitation to the BSP in Mönchengladbach (Germany), 22-24 January 2010

I'm definitely interested in participating! One question tho, since I'm from Bosnia, what other activities (perhaps involving Debian) could I be involved in during this whole week, since I wouldn't come to Germany just for two days ... suggestions? Share :)

Hash: SHA1

to help Debian freeze[1], there will be a Bug-Squashing-Party in
Mönchengladbach, Germany on the weekend of 22-24 January, 2010. It
will be held in the office of the German Open-Source-Support-Center
at credativ GmbH[2].

Even if you are not a Debian developer, but are interested in helping
Debian to get all the open release critical bugs fixed, you're welcome
at the BSP.  There will be enough developers around to sponsor your
NMUs. Some more information about BSPs and RC-Bugsquashing can be found
at [3] and [4].

Targets for the BSP are:
* Take care of bugs found by piuparts[5].
* Help the ipv6 release goal by adding ipv6 support to programs which do
 not support it yet. There is a list of bugs to work on, but continue
 to file new ipv6-related bugs if you find them - and fix them!
* Find obsolete and unmaintained packages in testing/unstable and file
 RoQA removal bugs.

Coordination for the BSP is done on the wiki page[6], where you'll also
find transport and accommodation details. Mönchengladbach is located
about 30km west of Düsseldorf and 50km north-west of Cologne.

If you need accommodation please add yourself to the list on the wiki
page as soon as possible.

Hope to see you here,

This is very new, and I may break compatibility in a few places, but I'd
be happy to get this into Debian (a sponsored upload would also work).
Possible future breakage: dealing with duplicate filenames[1] could
require changes in the cache layout, and I might introduce upstream
If someone could tell me that the sdo database doesn't contain
conflicting hashes for an orig archive, I'd be grateful, because
otherwise upstream branches will become complicated.

Fixed as well.  I have just introduced the trust option.  I'll try to
add some CI to catch this sort of thing.

Hiding an SSID isn't a security option since hidden SSIDs can be

no. I am using multi-gnome-terminal. I strongly dislike gnome-terminal (
a nice thing is that it has no probs with locales/ can use utf-8
though). It also happens in xterm. Scrolling speed in xterm/mgt is
comparable... gt is much slower...

What I find interesting is that the system (not cpu!) load is maxxed to
100% all the time when scrolling in 2.6. but less than 50% in 2.4....

Sounds like the some kernel driver eating up the time... which I thought
could be due to the new radeonfb driver....

Other ideas ?

Problem booting Debian after installing Ubuntu 9.10

I have a dual-boot system with Ubuntu 9.10 and Debian 5.01.  I did a fresh installation of Ubuntu 9.10. After that though Debian 5.0.1 installation is shown in the boot menu, am unable to boot into Debian.

I get a message saying "error: You need to load the kernel first". Can anyone help solve this problem?  Or do i need to do a fresh install of Debian again?  And if I do, will there be any problem booting into Ubuntu 9.10 after that?

I added myself to the Wiki I left a comment for that one. Then I did a
little housekeeping, just went by the note to have everyone in order of
city by number of members and last name alphabetical, forgot to leave a
comment for that one. Let me know if I was out of whack I have never
changed a Wiki before. Just trying to find ways to help out.
