Purdue students charged with hacking professors' accounts and changing grades

Asians behaving badly... grade-tampering college student edition! At Purdue University, three students are facing several felony charges after hacking into their professors' computer accounts and changing their grades to better scores: Police: Purdue engineering students tampered with professors' accounts, changed grades.

Sujay Sharma, Mitsutoshi Shirasaki and Roy Sun were charged in Tippecanoe Superior Court with multiple offenses, including conspiracy to commit computer tampering, conspiracy to commit burglary and conspiracy to commit computer trespass.

According to court documents, Shirasaki had been installing key-logging devices in various keyboards in classrooms and professors' offices to obtain their passwords. Ds and Fs were changes to As or Bs, Cs were changed to As, and when they got really greedy, As were even changed to A-pluses:

What the hell? This is some disturbing news out of the Bay Area, where a man was shot and killed after a confrontation with two men who had rear-ended his car: Emeryville man slain after Oakland crash.

After pulling over to the side of the road, he got into a confrontation with the two men in the other car, described as a newer-model four-door silver sedan. That's one of the men pulled out a gun and shot Nakano, who died at the scene.

Holy crap. In Riverside, California, a college student faces several felony charges after trying to get her boyfriend to murder her ex: UC Riverside Student Accused of Plotting to Murder Her Ex-Boyfriend.

21-year-old Barbara Wu allegedly told her boyfriend, Dennis Lin, to kidnap her ex-boyfriend, break his legs with a baseball bat, kill him and discard the body. Realizing the holy-shit nature of the situation, her boyfriend went to the police, and recorded her discussing the murder plot.

In New York City, three gay men are accusing the NYPD of homophobia and harassment, saying they were called anti-gay slurs, assaulted and wrongly arrested in a confrontation with officers last week: Brooklyn Police Beat Gay Man and Use Homophobic Slurs, Victim and Friends Say.

26-year-old Josh Williams says that he and two friends, Ben Collins and Antonio Maenza, were walking past the 79th Precinct police station when an officer accused one of the men of urinating against the station house and threw him against a squad car. During the ordeal, the men were pepper sprayed, handcuffed and called homophobic slurs.

Part of the incident was caught on video:

Aw man. More bad news for folks who like their bus trips fast, cheap and dangerous... Not long after Fung Wah met its untimely end, we get the news that Lucky Star is the latest discount Chinatown bus line to get shut down by the feds: Feds Shut Down Lucky Star Bus Due To Safety Hazards, Giant Holes.

According to the Department of Transportation, Lucky Star "fails to ensure that its motor coaches are systematically and properly inspected, repaired and maintained and meet minimum safety standards." In other words, the bus line is unsafe as hell, including one motor coach that had a giant hole in the bottom of the bus:

Yellow Face, YOMYOMF's screen adaptation of the award-winning play by David Henry Hwang, premiered over the weekend exclusively on YouTube in two parts. And it's pretty fantastic.

Directed by Jeff Liu, and starring Ryun Yu, Christopher Gorham, Linda Park, Sab Shimono, Emily Kuroda, Ki Hong Lee and Justin James Hughes, the play follows the misadventures of an Asian American playwright named DHH, who leads the protest against the yellow face casting, only to mistakenly cast a Caucasian actor in an Asian role in his own play. Dude, that sucks.

Watch the entire feature-length production below:

For those of you in New York City, community members are leading an effort to co-name a Chinatown street after Private Danny Chen. OCA-NY invites supporters to attend a meeting of the city's Transportation Committee on Tuesday, June 11, where they'll present a petition in support of "Danny Chen Way."

The case drew international and national attention to the problem of hazing in the military, and the street re-naming is an effort to immortalize Danny's legacy.

If you're available, please join OCA-NY at the Transportation Committee's meeting this week. It's happening Tuesday, June 11, 6:30pm at Confucious Plaza Community Room. Here are some more details:

You're flying out of Beijing. Delayed. You're stuck on the runway. This sounds like a good time for an impromptu classical music concert -- live, right there inside the plane: Philadelphia Orchestra Airplane Concert: Musicians Give Impromptu Performance On Beijing Tarmac.

When members of the Philadelphia Orchestra, who were on tour in China, found themselves stuck on the tarmac in the middle of a three-hour delay, they pulled out their instruments and surprised fellow passengers with a pop-up performance of Antonin Dvorak's "American" Quartet Finale. Take a look:

17-year-old Kenny Chen was found stabbed in the torso early Sunday morning at the corner of Benson and 26th Avenues, down the street from his home. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Remember Tuna Canyon Detention Station

If you've ever played golf at the Verdugo Hills Golf Course in Los Angeles, then you've also stood on the former Tuna Canyon Detention Station, where more than 2,500 Japanese Americans were held before being sent to internment, incarceration, or detention camps after FDR issued Executive Order 9066 in February 1942.

Now, some good folks with the Historic Tuna Canyon Detention Station Coalition want this site to be declared an historical landmark -- something Los Angeles' Cultural Affairs Commission has rejected. But here's a video on why the designation is important:

As you know, last week, Arvind Mahankali became the latest in a long line of Indian Americans kids to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee. That's six in a row! Which is awesome. But of course, this inspired the haters to respond on Twitter, as usual.

On this week's Totally Biased, comedian/writer Hari Kondabolu shows some love for the spelling bee -- aka "The Indian Super Bowl" -- and had choice some words for Arvind's detractors: Hari Kondabolu's KondaBulletin: Spelling Bee Edition.

Once again, it is time for you to meet the Angry Reader of the Week, spotlighting you, the very special readers of this website. Over the years, I've been able to connect with a lot of cool folks, and this is a way of showing some appreciation and attention to the people who help make this blog what it is. This week's Angry Reader is Patty Lee.

Some interesting movie news... It looks like we'll be seeing the likes of Harry Shum Jr., Justin Chon, KevJumba and MC Jin starring in Revenge of the Green Dragons.

Production has already begun on the gangster action thriller, which is inspired by a New Yorker article on the Chinese American underworld. Directed by Hong Kong filmmaker Andrew Lau and executive produced by Martin Scorsese, the 1980s-set crime drama tells the story of two immigrant siblings' rise and fall within a New York Chinatown gang, the Green Dragons. So who's in the movie?

The film's IMDb page already lists Glee's Harry Shum Jr. and Eugenia Yuan as part of the cast. But some rumors began circulating this week that Justin, Kevin and Jin have roles in the movie. The speculation seemed to be confirmed by a couple of intriguing tweets between the actors.

This is kind of awesome. Chinese artist Liu Bolin specializes in becoming invisible. In his latest performance kicking off the "Mask" exhibition of his work at Eli Klein Fine Art in New York, he transforms himself by becoming part of a gun rack. Incredible. Here are some more photos of his crazy invisibility:

Whaaaaat. This week in Minnesota, a half-marathon runner in training went to the hospital suffering some terrible back pain. She thought she had ruptured a disc or pulled a muscle. Turned out she was pregnant... and going into labor: Runner's pain is no pulled muscle; it's a baby.

33-year-old Trish Staine apparently had no idea she was pregnant. After a two-hour run on Sunday, she had a sore back that got increasingly worse, and unbearable by the next day. She eventually ended up in the emergency room, where she and her husband were stunned to learn that she was carrying a baby.

And so Staine, a mother of two and stepmother to her husband's three boys, gave birth to baby girl -- 6 pounds, 6 ounces and 18.9 inches long:

Yellow Face premieres on The YOMYOMF Network, June 8-9

Check out the official trailer for Yellow Face, a screen adaptation of David Henry Hwang's award-winning play, premiering exclusively on the YOMYOMF Network on June 8 and 9. Ryun Yu stars as an Asian American playwright named DHH who leads the protest against the yellow face casting in the Broadway production of Miss Saigon, only to mistakenly cast a Caucasian actor in an Asian role in his own play:

A Hollywood film editor who worked on The Muppets has filed a lawsuit against Walt Disney Pictures and editor James Thomas, alleging harassment, gender discrimination and wrongful termination: Disney Sued For Harassment & Discrimination By 'Muppets' Editor.

According to the complaint, assistant editor Cecilia Hyoun was discriminated against, subjected to a hostile work environment, and terminated "because of her gender, race and family responsibilities and because she made good faith complaints and opposed Defendants' unlawful conduct."

As part of J. Lin Fan Appreciation Week, Jeremy Lin held an Instagram Impersonation Contest, encouraging fans to post photos of themselves impersonating a Rockets player. This is Jeremy attempting to replicate the looks of teammates James Harden and Chandler Parsons. The mohawk is dope, but the beard looks... gross.

Man attempts suicide outside Today Show

Holy crap. This morning in New York, a man in the crowd gathered outside NBC's Today show started shouting about government corruption before pulling a knife on himself and slashing his wrists: 'Today' show wrist-slasher explains: 'The IRS ruined my life!'

Outside NBC headquarters, 76-year-old Pak Chong Mar began ranting about the IRS and tossed a stack of papers in the air. He then pulled out a knife and started sawing at his wrist in front of the horrified Rockefeller Center crowd before being tackled by security:

Get the award-winning short Works of Art on iTunes

If you want to see a really wonderful, award-winning short film, and you don't mind plunking down a dollar ninety-nine, Works of Art is now available for download on iTunes.

Directed by Andrew Pang, and written by and starring Paul Juhn, with music by Big Phony, the film is a fun, romantic tale about Art, a struggling New York actor who reluctantly agrees to do his friend John an unusual favor: go on a blind date for John -- as John. Here's the trailer:

Some love for The Park's Finest, some of the best darn barbecue in Los Angeles -- with a Filipino flavor. This is barbecue "born from the backyards of Southern California boogies. 50% Mom. 50% Pop. 100% L.A."

Masterminded by Chef Johneric Concordia, the business started as small-scale catering company before opening a humble sit-down location last year. Holding it down in Echo Park, The Park's Finest is satisfying stomachs and staying true to its community roots. And the Food. Is. Damn. Good.

But things are about to get crazy for The Park's Finest -- a good way. The restaurant will soon be featured on the Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, a popular show that will likely send a deluge of new hungry customers through their doors. It's going to be awesome. But can they handle it?

This is their battle plan. In order to handle the hustle, The Park's Finest has launched an Indiegogo campaign to fund job training and capacity development before things blow up with the DD&D onslaught:

The other day, I received a sampler of Boxers & Saints, the upcoming new project from award-winning graphic novelist Gene Luen Yang.

Fund This: A Flicker in Eternity

A Flicker in Eternity, directed by Ann Kaneko and Sharon Yamato, is a wonderful short documentary that tells the coming-of-age story of Stanley Hayami, a Japanese American teenager who finds himself incarcerated behind barbed wire during World War II. Based on Hayami's actual diary, letters and drawings, the film is a beautiful homage to a young man full of hope and promise who gave his life for a country that betrayed him.

The film is currently winding down a Indiegogo fundraising campaign to outreach and bring Stanley's story to classrooms and community groups across the country. Take a look at the trailer:

Asians behaving badly... Medicare fraud edition! Over the weekend in Los Angeles, authorities arrested a former acupuncture clinic owner -- called "one of Medicare's most-wanted fugitives" -- for billing Medicare for $2.1 million in false claims: One of Medicare's most-wanted fugitives is arrested in L.A.

44-year-old Won Suk Lee was reportedly paid about $1.2 million in bogus Medicare money, using a physical therapy clinic as a front. When an warrant for his arrest was issued last year, Lee fled to South Korea. He was promptly taken into custody at the airport when he flew back into Los Angeles on Saturday:

Here's the rundown of events:

I don't know what it is, but I'm a little bit obsessed with this video... It's a funny TV commercial for Ryan Lee Chiropractic Center in Los Angeles, in that signature Rhett & Link style -- wonderfully awkward, decidedly low-budget and hilariously offbeat. Yes, this is a real, official commercial for an actual local business. I kind of love all the cracking. Take a look:
