...feminist ghosts, Machida's surreal and often frankly sexual paintings-like Little Boy: Good Luck Talisman-seem to have little in common with staid 19th century forms. But Machida says artistic categories are "just brand names," so she doesn't feel as though she is violating some unwritten code. "I admire Japanese painting, but I learned from the tradition without even noticing it." And that's the point. As diverse as they are, as different as they are from their flowers-and-Mount Fuji predecessors, the neo-nihonga painters aren't divorced from Japanese tradition-they're part...
...idea even more powerfully than electing a woman. Hillary Clinton's very success in building a political machine and becoming the front runner makes her candidacy seem less remarkable. Unlike Clinton, who explicitly says on the stump that it's time for a woman President, Obama contents himself with code. "It's time to move forward," he says. But we all get the message...
...claims that his fund-raising list numbers about 100,000, has been holding "Small Change for Big Change" events around the country, with tickets selling for as little as $15.

While its dress code-conscious organizers may have wanted a more coherent demonstration, the laundry list of causes driving Sunday's protest is perhaps a better indicator of Hong Kong's hopes and frustrations than they realize. "One Person, One Vote" is only the beginning...
...precisely made it's reluctant to let air flow in around it. I hooked the iPhone up to my iBook with a feeling of pride roughly comparable to that of someone setting up an old friend with a really hot blind date. iTunes needed to download a chunk of code before it would talk to the iPhone (as if it wanted to change before it met that really hot blind date). After a brisk two hours negotiating the activation protocol for iPhone reviewers...
