Monday, March 5, 7p

Re-representations and Simulations

Bruce Yonemoto, Professor of Studio Art in Video, Experimental Media, and Film Theory,?

University of California, Irvine

In conversation with Stephen Prina, Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies, Harvard University

????????????????????????????

Bruce Yonemoto works within the overlapping intersections of art and commerce, and the gallery world and cinema screen. Yonemoto juxtaposes cultural material from different international communities, such as those of the Japanese Americans, Nipo-Brasiliero, Peruvian Quechua and Hollywood communities. The photographic series North South East West focuses on the erased history of American Civil War soldiers of Asian descent. Yonemoto?s collaboration with Dr. Juli Carson deals with the discovery of the real and poetic convergence between two distinct phenomena in Argentina: the site of one of the few growing glaciers in the world and one of the last regions where Lacanian psychoanalysis is practiced. Most recently, Yonemoto?s work was exhibited at the ICC in Tokyo, the Kemper Museum in Kansas City, and the St. Louis Museum of Art.

About the Lecture Series

????????????????????????????

Art, culture, and technology. What is the potential of such an intersection in the present? Being cognizant of historical and unusual crossings while exploring more profound investigations and productions suggest experiments in thinking, action and form. Questions raised by pursuing this matrix lead to a variety of histories of the present, the combination of official and unofficial versions throughout the world; animated by examination and reflection these histories may be transformed by creation.

It is easily possible to feel indifference toward the ?merely interesting.? In response to what can appear as a perpetual state of ?interesting? spectacles and data flow, the invited speakers address these paradoxes of living. Their presentations and discussions will serve as opportunities to grapple with productions, conditions, and perspectives that can stimulate other kinds of responses. The speakers will not invite smooth or easy receptions of the aural, visual, or spatial operations with which they are engaged, but will, in contrast, raise questions from the perspective of producers and analysts about present and past forms of being and production.

4130 S. Sandhill Rd.?

Mom and Pop With No Mom Keeps Pop Poppin'

It was a long trip from Bangkok to Cairo but I made it and boy was I hungry when I got there. Filfila Mediterranean Cafe on Flamingo and Sandhill sounded perfect and, although borderline surreal, the little place seemed pretty cool. There are some large round tables in the front corners of the dining room that sit low and are adorned with cushions so people can just chill hard on plush pillows and chow down. I've always wanted to eat like that.?

Other than one dude who was intensely focused on the foreign program playing on the TV very loudly, there was nobody in there. In fact, for a minute I thought dude watching TV was the person who worked there, and was just waiting for a commercial to come on. By the dirty look he gave me when I walked in, and his refusal to speak to me, both when I said "hello" upon meeting his mean eyes, and when I said "excuse me" as I walked in front of the TV towards the counter, it really gave me the impression that he didn't speak English, and I interrupted his Arabian soap opera.

I heard a sound from the kitchen and was relieved to know I wasn't alone in the place with Mr. Sandals. I spent the next twenty minutes taking pictures and hanging out until the person from the kitchen came out with Mr. Sandal's food. He was surprised to see me. Another good five minutes went by while the bill had to be fixed. Mr. Sandals was overcharged it seems, and that made me remember the review I read that mentioned the same snafu. The writer of this particular review was disappointed because he did some reading before visiting and saw reviews that mentioned funny charges on the checks. Mr. sandals was pissed but he was cool. Every time he said "it's OK" his voice went up about three octaves. The kicker: Mr. Sandals had a Texas accent and spoke perfect English.?
When I was greeted by the person from the kitchen, it was a warm greet with a big friendly smile. The gentleman is named Wadi and he is the owner and sole employee, evidently. It seems his family can't help him anymore and he can't find any good help at the counter. The last employee gave away sodas and spent a lot of time nose picking according to Wadi. The dude did look like he had been working his ass off for a week straight, but he was as accommodating as he could be.
I ordered a gyro and a 'fool' plate. Read about this wonderful middle eastern dish here.
Wadi asked me if I was eating in or out and I told him I could take it to go if he needs to close up, but he wouldn't hear of it. He went back to make my food and I settled into Mr. Sandals chair to watch some foreign TV.?

Foreign TV sucks worse than domestic TV.

Wadi came back out a couple minutes later and asked me if I wanted my fool plate traditional or like "how we eat it" ? I says, "How do you eat it."?
"With tomato and very spicy." Wadi says.
I tell him I don't like tomato too much and please don't make it too spicy because half of this is for my wife's lunch.
"OK, I make with no tomato, and really spicy." Was his reply. Then he was off to the kitchen. Stuff gets lost in the language barrier. What can you do?

Luckily, all he did to make it spicy was to put a handful of roughly chopped jalapenos on top which were easy to eat around and their presence alone was enough heat for me. Wadi's fool plate was good though. There was no mint like the menu stated, but it was good nonetheless. Hearty and rustic with a nice creaminess from the tahini and a very filling dish if you eat the warm crusty pita bread that comes with it.

The Gyro was delicious and fresh tasting. Excellent tzatziki sauce, and Wadi gives you a big sandwich with seasoned fries. He told me to stay as long as I'd like, and I watched some Egyptian cops bust a gnarly bunch of black market wig dealers, or something. The gyro was very good. I'm a bit of a gyro connoisseur and I have my favorites, but Filfila does a fine job.?

Overall, I come out with a favorable impression of Filfila, but I'm afraid Wadi wouldn't be able to handle any real business by himself. I too had weird charges on my bill, and Wadi's English takes a lot of patience to understand. I hope he can find an employee that suits his needs and makes a success of Filfila. Although there are better Mediterranean restaurants around, I still think Filfila should stick around. Let me know if you've been here before and what your experience was like.

Obama hails auto bailout, hits back at GOP critics

WASHINGTON (AP) ? President Barack Obama proudly embraced his auto industry bailout Tuesday, telling a raucous labor audience that assertions by his Republican presidential challengers that union members profited from taxpayer-paid rescue are a "load of you know what."

Obama delivered a politically sizzling and staunchly pro-union speech to the United Auto Workers just as voters in Michigan, a center of auto manufacturing, went to the polls to cast their ballots in the state's Republican nominating contest.

In a campaign style setting, union president Bob King praised Obama as "the champion of all workers" who "saved our jobs and saved our industry," an introduction that elicited chants of "Four more years!" from a crowd estimated at about 1,700 UAW members.

The speech was part of an Obama strategy to steal some of the political limelight from Republicans on the same days that states hold their GOP primary votes or caucuses.

In highlighting the auto industry's comeback, Obama drew a distinct contrast with Republican presidential candidates such as Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum, both of whom have said they would not have used government money to save General Motors and Chrysler.

Obama's speech came as auto sales are surging, on a pace to exceed 14 million this year. Auto makers and parts companies added more than 38,000 jobs last year, with industry employment averaging 717,000 for 2011. And automakers have announced plans to add another 13,000 jobs this year.

Romney on Sunday said Obama favored the UAW in the bailout and that the president was "paying off the people that supported him."

Obama did not mention the Republican presidential contenders by name, but he left no doubt they were his targets.

"You've got folks saying. 'Well, the real problem is, what we really disagreed with was the workers, they all made out like bandits; that saving the American auto industry was just about paying back unions,'" Obama said. "Really? Even by the standards of this town, that's a load of you-know-what."

He noted that under the agreement to use taxpayer money to save GM and Chrysler, union members had to agree to reduced wages and that thousands of retirees saw reductions in their health care benefits.

"But they're still talking about you as if you're some special interest that needs to be beaten down," Obama said.

Despite the not-so-veiled references at Republican presidential contenders, the White House insisted Obama's remarks were not a political campaign speech, but rather a policy address about the state of the auto industry.

"These are substantive policy issues that affected hundreds of thousands, even millions of Americans," White House spokesman Jay Carney said. "And they're very worth speaking about, as president."

The Republican Party weighed in, doubling down on the claim that in authorizing the bailout Obama was simply doing the bidding of labor. "This is an insider deal for his union cronies who got billions in bailout money and are now backing Obama's re-election campaign," said Kirsten Kukowski of the Republican National Committee.

In his speech, Obama cast himself in heroic terms, saying he ran to "make the tough calls and do the right thing no matter what the politics."

In fact, Obama was not alone. Before Obama took office, President George W. Bush, faced with a reluctant Congress, directed more than $17 billion in emergency loans to GM and Chrysler in his final weeks in office. Bush demanded that the companies reduce their debt, negotiate wage and benefit cuts with workers and submit plans to achieve long-term viability.

In a veiled shot at Romney, Obama also said some critics wanted to "let Detroit go bankrupt." But Romney never used that phrase, though it was the headline on a November 2008 opinion piece he wrote for the New York Times. In that opinion piece, Romney called for a managed bankruptcy that would restructure the companies by letting them "shed excess labor, pension and real estate costs."

In his article, Romney added: "The federal government should provide guarantees for post-bankruptcy financing and assure car buyers that their warranties are not at risk."

The president sought to portray himself as a longtime ally of labor, recalling his days as a community organizer working with steel workers who had been laid off when their plants shut down.

"That still drives me today," he said, reiterating a line he uses in political campaign events. "So I'll promise you this: as long as you've got an ounce of fight left in you, I'll have a ton of fight left in me."

Obama also announced that his administration will crack down on unfair trade practices worldwide, a popular theme with labor and a counterpunch to Romney's tough-on-China rhetoric. Obama was signing an executive order creating an Interagency Trade Enforcement Center.

The office will expand the administration's ability to challenge unfair trading practices in China and elsewhere and coordinate enforcement activity across several U.S. government agencies. Obama's most recent budget proposal asks Congress for millions of dollars for the new enforcement center and more U.S. inspectors in China.

Journeys (Creative Writing) | NY Essay

By admin on February 26, 2012

It?s now been a year since that horrific day. The day that my negligence and irresponsibility ended the life of the one whom I loved the most, Anna. It was the night after our final HSC exam, and we were on our way back from a party. It feels like it was just yesterday, the sound of her voice pleading me to slow down. I can never forgive myself for what happened and it will haunt me for the rest of my life. If only I had listened to her, all of this wouldn?t have happened, and my girl friend would still be alive today. All I can do now is embark on a journey of retrospection, regretting and reliving the worst day of my life: ?

*Flashback*

?Ben, slow down, I think you are going way too fast!? said Anna.

?Calm down Anna! It?s not like I?m going to crash or something!? I replied.

Anna tried to reiterate, ?Ben, please slow down! It?s just that you?ve had a few drinks at the party too. I?m getting a bit scared. This is how accidents happen!?

?Don?t worry Anna! I?m

a highly skilled driver. I have total control. When you?re in the car with me, you are as safe as safe can be!?

?BEN, WATCH OUT!!! ?

*End of Flashback*

As I turned my attention back to the road, our car crashed head-on with a massive truck! I was drunk and didn?t realise how fast I was going. I was just an eighteen year old boy who thought he had control over absolutely everything. In the end, I was wrong; she wasn?t safe in the car with me!

A few hours after the crash, I remember waking up in the hospital with bruises and wounds all over. Despite being in pain, I was able to shove of the nurses who were keeping a watch on me, because there was only one thing on my mind and that was Anna. I rushed myself out to of my ward to find Anna?s parents sitting outside a room with the door closed. Soon I learnt that Anna was in a very critical condition and the doctors were trying everything to keep her alive. ?I?m really sorry! I?? I said crying and struggling to speak. Her mother came over?

Direct Mail Marketing Strategies ? Profitable Tips For Serious Business

Experience has shown me direct mail marketing is among the best ways for pretty much any small business to get fresh business through the door as well as increase sales to its existing customer base.

The challenge is business owners tackle it in totally the wrong way. A productive direct mail marketing campaign is not just a matter of sending off some random note or postcard through the post and trusting it to result in a deluge of sales.

So to make a success of your direct mail small business advertising, you must stick to the rules. These rules have been proven to be sound over a century and a half of experiment.

They are not rules as in regulations you have to abide by ?or else?, but rather are guidelines which have been found empirically to give higher quality results (i.e. higher Return on Investment, or ROI).

Unfortunately, almost all direct mail campaigns are assembled by people who are simply not up to the job. Most commonly it?s graphic designers, and although they may be wonderful at developing tasteful things, they are not often experienced in direct advertising. Your piece might just seem first-rate, but so what if it?s not making you any money?

I warn you: your graphic designer and printer will detest this guidance I?m offering you, and will tell you it?s not going to work. If they do then, just tell them you?ll split-test their variation against yours, and the loser pays for the entire mailing. Get them to stick their money where their mouth is. Here are a couple of simple suggestions I suggest you try out in your direct mail marketing, and just see the difference they make.

Rule # 1: Don?t shout ?ADVERTISING?

Huge blunder coming up: most direct mail advertising looks like just what it is: mass produced, abstract sales patter in a low-priced envelope with a snazzy logo on the front. This is a really awful idea..

How so? Well, it?s plain to anybody it?s just something sent by some buffoon wanting to take your money off you. Who wishes to read that? Where?s the value to the reader and why would he or she throw away her time with it?

Rather than doing this, invest in some proper ?personal? envelopes, get them hand-addressed or make use of a good handwriting font, and then stick on a real stamp from the Post Office. Yes, it?s a touch more inconvenience and a little bit more expensive, but the extra responses will more than repay your cost.

Whenever you must have a return address on it, simply put your address in the top left corner ? no company name, no logo.

This is automatically going to mean even more people will in fact open your direct mail advertising pieces. Obviously, when they?ve opened it, they?ve got to read it then reply.

Rule # 2: Write like a real human being

This is in direct contrast to the direct mail marketing pieces you get daily, I ?d put money on it. Most of them have no obvious reason even for existing ? I presume the nitwit creating them waxed lyrical about ?brand? or something. But developing your ?brand? doesn?t by itself make you money. Brand follows and because of service.

You should write your direct mail advertising pieces in just the same tone as you ?d write a letter to a favored aunt or uncle. Forget about being ?professional? or keeping to the rules they taught you at school. Simply write like you speak, and you won?t go far wrong.

Aim your whole piece at highlighting one problem and one problem only, by giving a big, impressive promise in your headline. Then, in the body of the piece, tell them you CAN remedy it, and then tell them JUST HOW they can get hold of this miracle solution you have. To put it otherwise, you need a focused and impossible-to-miss call to action, like ?Ring me on 00000-000000 NOW and reserve your free meeting? places are restricted to the first 7 callers, so if you?re the eighth person to call, you?ll miss out?. Easy as pie.

If you take note of and really abide by the principles I?ve shared with you here, you will see much improved results, that I can promise.

India's dragflickers grateful to Jugraj for improving penalty corner ...

New Delhi, Feb 12

Drag-flicker Jugraj Singh, now 28, would have been at the peak of his international hockey career had it not been for a life-threatening accident that put him out of competitive hockey in 2003. He is still a part of the national team but as a key figure in the support staff, fine-tuning the skills of the present lot of drag-flickers.

A freak road accident in Jalandhar eight years ago ended the blossoming career of Jugraj. The penalty-corner specialist emerged as an iconic drag-flicker at a time when Indian hockey was struggling to find an answer to Pakistan's Sohail Abbas and Dutch legend Taeke Taekema.

A self-taught penalty-corner specialist, Jugraj is happy passing on the tricks of the trade to Sandeep Singh, V.Raghunath and Rupinder Pal Singh.

India coach Michael Nobbs and the drag-flicker trio feels Jugraj's association with the team since the 2010 Azlan Shah Cup has helped them immensely.

Jugraj doesn't want to delve too much into the past and for him helping the team to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics remains the lone target.

"I can't look back in my life. Obviously if the tragedy hadn't happened, I would have been at the peak of my career by now and preparing myself to play in an Olympics. It is every player's dream to play in the Olympics. I can't turn the clock back, I have to move on. I am grateful to god for giving me a second chance," the burly Jugraj told IANS at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium where the Olympic hockey qualifiers will be held from Feb 18.

Jugraj is also helping the team cope with the situation after conceding a penalty corner. He spends hours on a bowling machine directing balls towards the defenders in the goal.

"The bowling machine comes handy, though we get around 80-90 km per hour, around 30-40 kmph less than the speed at which the ball travels in a match situation. But the drill helps the defenders to use their reflexes to keep the ball out. The main problem about the bowling machine is that it is very accurate and predictable whereas in a match you don't know which way the ball will dart," said Jugraj.

Jugraj had words of praise for India's trio of drag-flickers and picked out Rupinder Pal to become a top drag-flicker.

"Rupinder is very accurate and works hard on his variations. A good defender's strength is his anticipation and Rupinder is good at it. He will be the player to watch out for," said Jugraj.

Rupinder wants to master Jugraj's signature style of drag-flick that was a treat to watch. Jugraj used to pull the ball back and go round before slamming it in.

"That is something that I have been working on. Variations are very important in converting penalty corners. Jugraj's signature style used to take the defence by surprise," said Rupinder.

Sandeep said since Jugraj took over India's penalty conversion rate has improved to 70 percent.

"Jugraj has been working hard with all the defenders and now we have a fair rate of conversion, which is around 70 percent. He also tells us how to handle pressure situations," said Sandeep.

Raghunath said Jugraj has also been working with the defenders in negotiating with drag-flicks.

"He was a daring defender. Rarely have we seen defenders rushing out to stop a shot. But during his days he has taken shots in his body as well. It is extremely painful. His experience in stopping penalty corners is helping us a lot," said Raghunath.

Jugraj says he keeps himself updated with the latest techniques in hockey by sharing notes with his mentor Bram Lomans of the Netherlands.

"Lomans has been my childhood idol. I am still in touch with him and we discuss the latest trends in drag-flicking. I share notes with Abbas and Taekema as well," he said.

India coach Nobbs said having Jugraj as an assistant has reduced his workload.

"Jugraj would have been a star player in the team had it not been for that accident. But he is still a part of the team and is helping out the boys," he said.

New spring events held by Sports and Recreation club | The Exchange

by Kyle Soule
edited by Alicia Baldino

Due to the lack of snowfall, the Sports and Recreation club was forced to change the lineup from outdoor events like skiing and snowboarding, to other events this spring.

Instead of snow related sports, there will be the highland games such as twosome, a challenging obstacle course that involves carrying another person through it. ?Other spring events will be announced as weather permits.

Carty calls this winter the warmest he?s ever witnessed here on campus. ?This is probably the most mild winter I?ve had in the past ten years,? said Doug Carty, Director of Campus Recration.

Freshman Hilbert Sterns said, ?Although the mountains are creating snow, the conditions could be better?. ?I have been snowboarding since I was eight years old and hope to go at least one more time before the end of the season.?

One alternative event is the Frozen Finger Fest of Fury, a rock climbing competition. ?On February 23, the event will be held in the adventure recreation lounge, open to all students. ?The course will include small sections equivalent to a small car garage making up a ring structure. ?The goal is to be the last person climbing. ?There will be over 700 different climbing holds. Each hold will be marked by a piece of colored tape to help identify which areas to grab.

Carty explained the impact of this upcoming event. ?The bullring cave in the adventure recreation lounge, I think, is the best kept secret on campus.?

Spring intramural leagues are also beginning. ?The sports will include five-on-five basketball, indoor soccer, floor hockey, and dodge ball. ?Students interested still have time to sign up; however, they may suffer an automatic loss for the first games due to late entry.

The problem of proving the liability of one or both operators is the same, and the requirement of proving the nature and extent of her damages is the same.?

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? The entire staff at a Los Angeles elementary school is being removed while authorities investigate horrific allegations of sexual abuse by two of the school's teachers, one of whom is accused of blindfolding children, taping their mouths and photographing them in a classroom.

Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent John Deasy said Monday night that more than 120 staff members at Miramonte Elementary School ? everyone from the principal and teachers to the cafeteria workers ? were being replaced because a full investigation of the allegations will be disruptive and staffers will require support to get through the scandal.

"We intend to interview every adult, every adult who works at that school, whether they are a teacher or administrator, or whether they are an after-school playground worker or a custodian or a secretary. I mean every single solitary adult who works at Miramonte," Deasy said to parents who packed a high school gymnasium.

An entire staff has been selected to come into Miramonte's classrooms to take over teaching for the time being, and there will be a psychiatric social worker in every classroom to help students and staff cope with any issues.

All employees will be paid during the investigation, district spokesman Tom Waldman said. Officials didn't know how long the investigation would take.

"The last thing I'm worried about is a budget issue," Deasy said. "The No. 1 thing I'm worried about is the students."

School officials canceled classes on Tuesday and Wednesday as a cooling-off and transition period, Waldman said. All current staff members will report to another location, where they will be interviewed, he said. The new staff will report on Thursday.

Deasy emphasized that all new staff members being brought into the classroom went through a "very rigorous screening process."

He added Miramonte staff members are having a difficult time understanding this situation.

"I'm mostly overwhelmed by how grieved they are, how upset they are, how broken their own personal trust is. In many ways, they are victimized too," Deasy said. "They taught in this school for years and assumed everyone else was doing good things."

United Teachers Los Angeles said in a statement that union leaders and staff have met with instructors at Miramonte.

"We support a thorough, vigorous and fair investigation of all allegations," the statement said. "It's everyone's responsibility to ensure that any and all allegations are thoughtfully and carefully investigated."

Miramonte parents were happy to hear the news first from the superintendent. They have complained bitterly that they weren't informed about the yearlong investigation. Many heard the sordid details on news reports or from the TV crews camped out at the school's entrance.

School officials said they deferred to sheriff's detectives, who asked them not to divulge details that might affect their investigation.

Maria Jimenez, 51, said the parents are divided over the decision to remove the school's 88 teachers and 40 other staff members.

"Some are in favor. Others are against it because they did this without advising us or consulting us," she said.

The decision follows the arrest of two longtime Miramonte teachers: Mark Berndt and Martin Springer.

Berndt, 61, was charged last week with committing lewd acts on 23 children, ages 6 to 10, between 2005 and 2010. The acts cited by authorities include blindfolding children and feeding them his semen in his classroom, in what children were allegedly told was a tasting game.

Berndt, who worked at the school for 32 years, remains jailed on $23 million bail and could face life in prison if convicted.

Springer, 49, was arrested Friday on suspicion of fondling two girls in his classroom. He was being held on $2 million bail.

Springer taught at Miramonte for his entire career, which started in 1986, the district said. He taught second grade. The school board is scheduled to discuss firing him in a closed-door meeting Tuesday.

Investigators said they know of no connection between the Miramonte cases. Berndt and Springer know each other and took their classes on at least two joint field trips in the past decade, according to the Los Angeles Times.

More than a quarter of the students at Miramonte were absent from school Monday while parents demanded more protection at the school, with attendance reaching just 72 percent, according to figures from the Los Angeles Unified School District.

About three dozen parents and supporters protested in front of the main doors of the school earlier Monday, some carrying a banner that read, "We the parents demand our children be protected from lewd teacher acts."

As night fell, about 100 angry parents marched from the elementary school to the nearby meeting with administrators.

School police watched and sheriff's deputies were on hand, but there was no violence.

The district set up a toll-free hotline on Monday to receive reports of suspected abuse at Miramonte, said school board President Monica Garcia in a statement.

Garcia added that the district would step up efforts to ensure students and staff realized the importance of reporting misconduct.

In the same school district, a janitor at a San Fernando Valley elementary school was arrested on suspicion of committing a lewd act with a child on a campus.

Paul Adame, 37, was taken into custody after a mother told police on Sunday that he had inappropriate contact with her child during school hours Friday at Germain Elementary School in the Chatsworth area north of Los Angeles, police Capt. Kris Pitcher said at a news conference.

The captain declined to provide details but urged anyone who might know of other possible victims to contact police.

Adame was booked and released on $100,000 bail Monday. It could not be immediately determined if he had an attorney.

There was no immediate connection between the arrest of the janitor and the cases at Miramonte, which is 15 miles away in an unincorporated county area of South Los Angeles.
