APA’s in the news: I don’t envy the position that US Energy Secretary, Steven Chu, is in; he has a steep learning curve on the oil leak disaster, even if it’s pretty darn good that we do have a Nobel Laureate like him on the matter. Speaking of the oil leak disaster, would a Republican [...]

“Hawaii 5-0″ gets a Hawaiian blessing; hopefully, this means that it’ll be a decent show and gets some decent ratings. Of the “Facts of Life” cast, I’ve admired Kim Fields for having a prolonged career – that she went on to do “Living Single” by the 1990′s – that’s not a bad deal (I think [...]

Explanations for the World Cup teams’ nicknames. Still too bad about Team USA, but they did as well as they could with their World Cup showing. Do your votes on Facebook, on the Chase Community Giving! Coming soon: Asian American International Film Festival 2010! Commentary coming soon: I did see the “The Last Airbender” movie [...]

A-Team and The Karate Kid!  Oh My God – it’s the return of the 1980′s, in a revised kind of way. I got to see The A-Team movie; nothing perfect, but if you liked the old tv series, this was a fun.   Plot made no sense; but what was there was an origins story of [...]

Kudos:  US District Ct., North District of California – the trial court of the federal system – finally has an Asian American federal judge (the first in its 160 year history, according to the NAPABA press release); Judge Lucy Koh has been confirmed.  She will be the only current Korean American federal judge in the [...]

World Science Festival in the city; some good stuff. So, along with wacky service problems on weekends (shuttle bus, anyone?), MTA’s going to be issuing a new map (probably to reflect the end of some subway lines and other things). It’s supposed to look sleeker.  Hmm.  We’ll see how good it’ll be. But, it’s a [...]

Well, Memorial Day came and went. FC, my sister, and I checked out the Vilcek Foundation‘s exhibit of “Lost” props and photos.  Mr. Cluck!  Dharma van!  Dharma beer! My sister and I then checked out Asia Society’s museum (exhibits on “Pilgrimage and Buddhist Art” and “Inspired by India: Works by NYC Students“) and the Metropolitan [...]

Re: the “Lost” series finale – I’m still digesting it.  There is so much to be said and yet maybe nothing needs to be said; I could just leave it to the sublime, but really, “Lost” is a show that activates discussion and thought. On a sidenote: I thought ABC overdid it with the commercials; [...]

Sorry to have fallen behind; life and other things occurred. Like… Arizona passing odd laws: like their anti-illegal immigration law (still not sure how the law enforcement goes about stopping to identify who’s illegal without causing a whole host of other problems and not to mention where Arizona’s going to get the money to enforce [...]

Hooray: Judge Denny Chin has been finally confirmed for the 2nd Circuit!  (and in an article on the Chin news, it’s also reported that Loretta Lynch was also confirmed as US Attorney for Eastern District of NY (for a 2nd time)). NAPABA has a press release on the news; wow, Chin’s the first APA appellate [...]
