DUBLIN, Ohio, USA, 4 February 2013—OCLC has received a CSO40 Award from IDG's CSO magazine for its information security initiatives in support of all OCLC products and services used by member libraries worldwide.
CSO magazine, the premier publication for security-related news and best practices, sponsors awards for organizations that are using security technologies in innovative ways. In 2013, CSO is recognizing 40 projects that have delivered groundbreaking value through the creative application of risk and security concepts.
"This year's honorees have created outstanding security projects and initiatives that have truly resulted in positive long-lasting outcomes for their organizations," said Derek Slater, CSO Editor in Chief.
"Ensuring security for our services is critical to our global strategy," said Jay Jordan, OCLC President and CEO. "We must comply with security and privacy regulations for libraries in 170 countries on six continents at the same time that we ensure the integrity and security of data in our online services. We at OCLC are pleased that CSO magazine has recognized our efforts and places us among the leaders in information security management."
"We continue to enhance the technology and processes used for delivery of our products and services to ensure the highest levels of security, performance and reliability as well as low operating costs," said Gene Oliver, Vice President, OCLC Global Systems and Information Technology. "OCLC's information security management effort involves staff in 10 countries, five data centers and more than 50 products and services. We appreciate this recognition."
In February 2012, OCLC obtained ISO 27001 certification for information security management, which recognizes compliance with privacy frameworks, data security and standardized quality procedures. The certification confirms that OCLC is meeting a recognized international standard for security management. This standard recognizes OCLC's capability to manage information security related to IT infrastructure and data center management. ISO 27001 certification complements OCLC's ISO 9001:2008 Quality Certification.
A list of all CSO40 Awards recipients is available on the CSO40 website. Honorees will be acknowledged at the CSO40 Security Confab + Awards conference, April 2-3, 2013 in Atlanta, Georgia.

The CSO40 Awards are scored according to a uniform set of criteria by a panel of judges that includes security leaders, industry experts, and academics. Awards will be presented at the CSO40 Security Confab + Awards conference.

TOKYO (Reuters) - The first weeks of 2014 showed North Asia's manufacturing and export giants enjoying mixed fortunes, with South Korea and Japan starting the year positively, while China, the biggest of the trio, was still struggling to regain momentum.
Asia's top export powers, which together account for a fifth of global economic output, expect to get a lift this year from anticipated U.S. and euro zone recovery and better global growth in general.
Yet, a survey released on Thursday showed factory activity in China turned negative in January for the first time in six months, after gross domestic product data released earlier in the week raised prospects that growth in the world's second largest economy will sink to a 15-year low this year.
China's economy is passing through a difficult period as the new Communist Party leadership, in charge for just over a year, re-calibrates priorities.
"They are in the middle of a reform right now to fix shadow banking ... to open markets to the private sector," said Kyoya Okazawa, head of global equities and commodity derivatives in Tokyo at BNP Paribas. "In the middle of those reforms, those PMI (purchasing manager index) numbers are going to be quite bumpy."
Things appear to be going better with China's neighbors.
A Reuters survey in Japan showed the business mood improved in world's third largest economy. And, South Korean data showed Asia's fourth-largest economy on track for a solid 2014.
"Compared to Japan and China, which are dependent more on domestic consumption for growth, South Korea will likely benefit more from the recovery in the advanced countries," said Kim Sang-Hoon, fixed income analyst with Hana Daetoo Securities in Seoul.
South Korea is the most open economy of the three with exports worth nearly 50 percent of GDP, while China's amount to about half of that and Japan's account for about 15 percent.
South Korea could lose some of its advantage to Japan, due to the yen's sharp decline over the past year against all major currencies, including the South Korean won.
Some economists tip Japan to benefit the most from a recovery in the West. That has already made South Korean automakers Hyundai and Kia predict their lowest sales growth in a decade this year.
Regardless of the challenges, South Korea's economy grew 0.9 percent in the final quarter of last year and 3.9 percent year-on-year, the fastest expansion since early 2011 and data released this week showed solid growth in exports in the first 20 days of January.
In Japan, a Reuters survey showed business sentiment improved further in January as a result of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's blend of hefty monetary stimulus and fiscal pump-priming, though a consumption tax rise due in April weighed on the outlook.
Meantime, China, the world's long-time growth engine, continues to stutter. GDP data on Monday showed 2013 growth of 7.7 percent, raising expectations that 2014 growth will slip to a 15-year low somewhere above 7 percent.
On Thursday an early reading of the Markit/HSBC Purchasing Managers' Index fell to 49.6 in January, dropping below the 50 line which separates expansion of activity from contraction, pushing down Chinese equities, and the Australian dollar because of Australian exporters' reliance on Chinese demand.
Despite different starting positions, the trio enters 2014 with an ambition of boosting domestic consumption and reducing their reliance on exports.
For the new leadership in Beijing it is part of a grand rebalancing plan as the old growth model, driven by heavy investment in export-related capacity and infrastructure, is unsustainable.
For Tokyo, spurring more consumer spending is an essential part of its campaign to end a 15-year phase of deflation while Seoul counts on private demand to make up for a planned reduction in government spending.
Though the International Monetary Fund raised its global growth forecast this week, with advanced nations leading the way, the outlook is littered with uncertainty.
An export boost from Western Hemisphere upswing cannot be taken for granted. Markets have to see how the U.S. economy responds to the Fed's gradual withdrawal of monetary stimulus.
In China, latest data showed growth remained as skewed as ever towards investment despite the authorities taking steps to reduce availability of cheap credit.
The authorities also have yet to tackle weak social safety net and inadequate health and pension coverage that encourage savings and act as structural impediments to more consumption.
In Japan, there is uncertainty how consumers will respond to the sales tax increase, the nation's first since 1997 and whether thousands of smaller firms can follow blue chip companies in raising wages, which is necessary to sustain consumption.
For its part, South Korea needs to continue working through its household debt pile, which can weigh on spending, particularly if the Fed's unwinding leads to higher borrowing costs worldwide.
"Reforms will be a key theme for Asia in 2014," said Ronald Man, HSBC economist in Hong Kong. "While our China economists note that some measures are likely to involve short-term pain, they stress that the broad reform agenda can help unleash pent-up private sector demand for investment and consumption."

Following up on the stimulus spending plans of the Department of Defense (DOD), covered on page C6 of last month's issue, the DOD recently revealed more details of more than 850 facility improvement projects funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The $835 million allocated to these new projects, which is expected to be spent as quickly as possible, represents the balance of the ARRA funds provided to the DOD for construction and repair projects — in addition to the approximate $6.1 billion contained in the first infrastructure investment list announced in late March.
According to the DOD, all of the projects will be conducted at Army and Army National Guard facilities in 37 states and the District of Columbia. More than half of the $835 million will be spent in five states: Texas ($155 million), Kentucky ($83 million), North Carolina ($83 million), Oklahoma($66 million), and Hawaii ($59 million). In addition to making much-needed improvements to military installations, an additional $346 million will be spent on energy-related projects.
To view a complete list of these additional projects, visit www.defenselink.mil/recovery and www.recovery.gov.

He is a Japanese.
Hello -
The nerd is given in Japan.
I will answer, if there is a question about Japanese anime and nerd culture.
I answer, if it is likely to answer but other than this.
Since I can hardly speak English, I may put into a translation site and may become strange English for an answer.
Moreover, I think that he would like to increase a foreign friend.
始めまして、和泉さん、よろしく。 このサイトでは日本語の読める人が少ないと思いますけど。。。 私なら簡単な日本語しか出来ません。 それでも、私は皆さんがよく読めるのために、あなたが上に書いたの言葉をもっと標準な英語に訳すようにします。
(What I'm pretty sure I wrote above: Welcome, Izumi-san. I think very few people on this site can read Japanese. Myself, I'm only capable of very basic Japanese. Nonetheless, I'm going to try and translate what you wrote into more fluid English so that everyone can read it.) Maybe someone will take you up on your offer and ask questions.
I think what Izumi-san (izumiaya) is saying is: "Hello. I'm an otaku in Japan. If you've any questions about anime or otaku culture, I'd be happy to answer them. On other matters, I'd be happy to answer also, if I know the answer! However, because I can barely communicate in English and will be using a translation site, the answer may come out in rather strange English!"
I'm going to take it that you speak English Andent but anyways, on to the questions I can answer:
1) Yes, Anime as you call it is "famous" tho I take it you know that even though western culture call Japanese animation for Anime here in Japan Anime does not only refer to the Japanese style but also the western cartoons. Anime here is just as normal as Disney in the West, its just that instead of *insert a disney movie/cartoon here* they might have seen Doraemon or One Peice for example. One of the biggest things here in Japan is actually One Peice and pretty much everyone knows it somehow and I know people up to the age of 35 that reads the One Peice manga. You can also see people in their 40s reading different manga in the subway.
2 3 and 4) I can't answer
5) I'm not sure how I should answer this but the people I hang out with has either watched anime when they were kids but not anymore and those that watch specific shows every so often but none that sees themselves as otakus, in fact calling someone an otaku can actually be pretty offensive, so unless the person says it themselves or you know them very well do not use use it.
I'm not sure how helpful this is but I do hope you feel you've gotten some answers.
-Person living in Osaka
Thanks for your answers Nevila. I've been fascinated with the culture surrounding Japanese animation and the influence the culture has on the production of it. It's not exactly easy finding many direct sources, and many of them are written with a distinctly Western flair and perspective. While I've read a few of those what you might call academic essays, I always wonder what exactly is anime culture like for the average consumer of this type of media living in Japan. While secondary sources are nice, a more primary source seems much interesting, so thanks for your input in some of these questions.
It's actually interesting that you bring up the offense some people take with the moniker of "otaku." I've asked an older Japanese woman about this and she finds that the word carries little social weight for her. In other words, otaku isn't offensive per se to her, but perhaps some people might find it that way. However, I do apologize if I was being forward with my usage of such a word, and I'll try to be more discreet about it.
no worries, I know that you meant no harm, the fact is, I don't care that much either but there are those that does, but it depends on which kind of crowd you hang out with. I am more involved with people that sees being an Otaku as a bad thing as it ruins their "image". They tend to see it as childish and unmanly/unwomanly. There are of course many that doesn't care as well. I asked around a little (10 people) and from that it feels like it is generally young adults that goes to clubs/parties that finds being called Otaku as bad and admits that they watched anime as a child only. When I asked my friend she told me that some guy friends she has find it extremly embarassing to even stand in the anime part of the video store.
こにちは!どうぞよろしく〜 アニメが大好き〜 一番好きなアニメは何ですか?あたしの一番好きなアニメは銀魂!とてもおかしいね。でもオタクじゃない。ごめんね。^^' じゃまた。
◕‿‿◕ My honey gave me a cuteness overload~
You would think that it'd be the older generation that is more adverse to this stuff, but from what you say, it's the youth that doesn't like it. From what I gathered, there have been some noticeable social movements with the Japanese youth that encouraged more liberal views recently. But it seems like "Otaku" still carries a strong sting with many people. Perhaps their parents were influenced by Tsutomu Miyazaki, and they later influenced their children? Either way, I'm a little shocked at the conclusion you've come to. You're actually living there though, so I wonder what on earth is happening over there. You've genuinely interested me. Of course, I know nothing about the demographics of the people you hang out with, so there's probably other dynamics coming into play here.
1)Anime is one of the industries.
We grow up from a child's time, seeing TV anime.
2)Old anime is not compared with new anime.
There is anime which must not be old.
There is anime which may be new.
One is sometimes regrettable in recent years.
"World Masterpiece Theatre" series is no longer made.
They are "A Little Princess Sara", "Nils's wonderful trip", "Lassie", etc.
The child of these is outstanding anime.
3)In the front, original anime had somewhat much comics.
There is much anime of a light novel original these days.
Anime industry is a declining tendency.
4)It may go alone.
It may go with a friend.
The part of a personal computer is purchased.
The information on the part of a new personal computer is collected.
He sometimes buys a figure and character items.
It also sometimes has a meal.
I am knowledgeable about a back street. (ω`)
5)in Akihabara.
70 percent OTAKU.
30 percent is a tourist.
There are many AKB nerds these days.
Even now in Japan, the name of OTAKU is despised by the world.
I do not approach people who despise.
A sense of values is different.
I am a Japanese.
I would like to carry out foreign people and conversation.
I made the free Web Service.
It is translated as it Post.
It becomes the language which made a mistake in a few.
But a feeling leads.
Is there any anime fan who wants to use this?
I do not understand.
I want to share a topic of anime and manga with people around the world.

Yeah, to some "otaku" can be a pretty offensive term, but around here no one seems to take offense to it. Everyone around here says, "Oh, there are a lot of different kinds of otaku. It just depends which kind of otaku you are." All the negative connotations with otaku pretty much stem from some bad publicity the term a long time ago when there were a few people who committed some crimes. They happened to like manga (some strange manga) and were pretty anti-social. The term stuck.
Any questions, I can answer them in English.

Isn't it a bit much to expect people not to make the association when all they know of akibahara is from anime and tv. It's like expecting people who have never seen black people to base an opinion of them off what they see on tv. They'll just assume they all wear pants down to there knees, act proper hard, and talk like a gangsta.

haha yeah, but the thing is that once people get to know about akihabara, all the things that would be imputed in their mind is that akihabara=otaku. And, I can agree with your black people theory (that's just called racism tho) but what I think is that I want people to be more open-minded.
Well, actually I think I was just being a little fed-up, cause just because I like anime, I get called otaku at school and the thing is that I don't like people calling me that since it just ruins my school life; the reputation i have in the whole school (yes, in japan like almost 95% of the people think otaku as yucky and people-who-are-not-facing-the-reality kind of people).

Getting the exit code from make in Vim
Just answered the question on SO and I think the final trick is worth documenting here. The problem is how to get after
:make exit code of the make itself. As it is wrapped by VIM, it gets lost in the pipe:
:echo v:shell_error always shows 0 (
:h v:shell_error).
The bash-specific trick is:
:set shellpipe=2>&1\ \|\ tee\ %s;exit\ \${PIPESTATUS[0]}
The magic is in the
;exit ${PIPESTATUS[0]}.
man bash (search for PIPESTATUS) and
:h 'shellpipe' (check the %s) for more info.

If you are looking into owning a pair of pearl earrings or a string of pearl necklace, here are some tips to consider when picking (page 232, May 2013 In Style magazine):
1) Luster: The most important attribute of a pearl is its luster, or shine. Inexpensive pearls should glow, while more expensive pieces should positively radiate.
2) Shape: Pearls are never perfectly round, but classic spherical shapes are considered more desirable and cost more. Baroque, or oddly shaped pieces are a nontraditional alternative.
3) Size: Pearl size is measured in half millimeters; classic round ones can increase in price as much as 100 perfect per mm. The size most commonly sold is 7 to 7.5 mm.
4) Surface: High-quality pearls should not only shine but also be smooth and free of cracks, holes, bumps, or blemishes.
Here are some pretty pieces that I am lusting over:
|Mikimoto Love Pendant
|Mikimoto Pearl and Sapphire Earrings
|Tiffany Aria Bracelet

Mega-retailer Walmart already offers a streaming video service via Vudu, but new reports have the company on the verge of rolling out a new UltraViolet-compatible cloud-based offering that will enable consumers to tap into their own purchased video content from a wide variety of devices — and anywhere they can get a video connection. But there might be a catch: for consumers to get their videos into the service, they'll have to bring their DVDs into a Walmart store to confirm they own the content, and pay $2 to $4 for each title they want to put in the cloud.
Walmart has been in talks with the consortium of studios backing UltraViolet since at least autumn of last year, but no definitive word on the status of the negotiations had emerged. Reports on the pending deal vary. Some have Walmart preparing to issue an announcement today or tomorrow; others don't expect any word until next week.
The service would apparently require customers to bring their DVDs into Walmart brick-and-mortar locations to verify ownership of the media; once a disc is accepted into the system, it will apparently be stamped or marked as "already uploaded" so users won't be able to pass DVDs back and forth amongst themselves to augment each others' video libraries. Once a film is in the system, customers will be able to access films in their account from any UltraViolet-compatible device: that includes Flixster apps for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry, Windows, and Mac OS; the service also plans to expand to Internet-connected TV platforms, game consoles, and more. UltraViolet content is DRM-protected, and supports simultaneous access to up to three streams.
At first glance, Walmart's service would seem to have some pros and cons. On the upside, it would seem to be able to accept a wide range of content that consumers can bring in on DVD, potentially including older and rare releases that may not be available in the limited streaming libraries of services like Netflix or Vudu. The downside, of course, is that users will have to cart their discs into Walmart and pay to have them copied to the cloud — and, so far, consumers' response to UltraViolet service, currently limited to a handful of recently-released titles, hasn't been overwhelmingly positive.
[Update: Walmart has formally announced the service. Called Walmart Entertainment Disc-to-Digital, Walmart will start accepting DVDs in stores on April 16, charging $2 to put standard DVD and Blu-ray discs into user accounts, and $5 to upgrade a standard DVD to high-definition. Movies from Sony, Paramount, Fox, Universal, and Warner Bros. are eligible. Customers will manage their accounts through Vudu; Vudu, in turn, will offer the ability to purchase and watch UltraViolet content.]

My Kids Eat Snails
Late fall is a time of transition for us. Our farmers' market closes for the year, and my husband Bob and I must turn our attention away from the commerce and flurry of the growing season, and direct it inward toward our family. We take great delight in re-directing our energies toward more formally homeschooling our children; but often find ourselves frustrated with the accompanying bureaucracy—of filling out the required reports, examining the core curriculum content we are expected to cover, and trying to find ways of presenting subject matter (sometimes, we feel, prematurely) to our kids so that they will learn the required lessons. Thus, the transition has not always been easy for us. We've discovered that travel helps.
Each year at this time, we pack up the kids for a journey that is one part celebration of the close of the growing season, one part homeschool study. One year we traveled by train to the Southwest and visited Mesa Verde National Park. Last year we journeyed to Plimoth Plantation. This year, to put the garnish on Saoirse's three years of French study, we took the girls up to Montreal. It was just a short trip. Our intention wasn't so much to obligate the girls to use their language skills, but instead to take them to a place where they could see the language come to life in another culture.
Can Money Buy Education?
Shannon Hayes taught her daughter that their family doesn't buy things they can make or grow at home. She then had to wonder: Does that include higher education?
They grasped the idea quickly. We rented a loft, and they counted each stair up to it and down from it aloud in French; relished bursting into the streets of the Old Port each morning and calling out "Bonjour!" to anyone who would listen; and took special delight in the myriad cafes and pastry shops, particularly proud of themselves that "chocolat chaud" was part of their limited French vocabulary. They dazzled me, however, on our final night in the city, when we took them out to a bistro for dinner. They ordered escargot.
And ate it!
Admittedly, we love food in our family, but witnessing two American girls, ages 7 and 3, order up a plate of snails out of curiosity, and then gobble them down without reservation, was a shock even to my radical nature. I tried to act nonchalant when I witnessed this scene, so as not to discourage their gustatory adventure. I reminded myself that I shouldn't be surprised. These girls scramble to the table quickly following the earliest frosts of fall, eager for the first Brussels sprouts of the season. I dress fresh kale from my neighbor's garden with olive oil, salt and garlic, then leave it on the kitchen table to soften for a few hours before dinner. By the time we sit down, the bowl is half empty from their snacking. They forage for wild ramps in the spring and present them to me to sauté for lunch. They find me chanterelles in June so that I can make them cream of mushroom soup. Savoring a typical French dish while experiencing a French culture just makes sense to them.
Witnessing this spectacle, my mind travels to the homeschool report that I will have to write up in a few weeks, detailing to school officials the lessons my girls have learned this quarter. My job will be to categorize their development within the pre-defined subjects of math, social studies, language arts, science, phys ed, art and music.
I don't have an aversion to these basic subjects, per se, but as I wipe garlic cream sauce from snails off 3-year-old Ula's chin, it grates on me how none of the pre-defined categories for education ask us to consider the most important lessons we must impart to our children. As far as the curriculum standards are concerned, I should be worried about whether or not my 7-year old can read, count and write up to 1000; if she understands decimals; and if she can write a book report. But what I want my children to learn first and foremost is how to take good care of themselves, their families, their community, and their planet. And at their age, I've discovered that the most effective means of teaching this is through their palate. It is not so important to me that my kids can explain the significance of a locavore diet at their age. But I do want them to know what food is supposed to taste like when it is a product of a healthy ecosystem. I want them to experience what their bodies feel like when they are nourished in a way that is in harmony with the Earth.
I believe that when they know these things, then they will forever take measures in their lives to see that their Earth is stewarded properly, so that they and their families and community may be healthy and sated. When their palates know what good food is, they will instinctively reject foods and eating practices that are detrimental to our culture and environment. This can't be done in a single 2-week unit. It is a lifetime educational investment we must make in our children.
I can see the effects of this education already. Saoirse and Ula turn their noses up at breaded chicken tenders, wrinkle their faces when served milk from a carton rather than fresh from a cow, reject hot dogs unless they've been handmade on the farm in real casings, and have been known to walk away from grocery store cakes laden with chemicals and transfats, despite their colorful decorations, on the grounds that they simply didn't taste right. If they sense an item of food is not part of their natural system, they often don't develop a taste for it (admittedly, they still like chocolate…). But if their entire generation had an opportunity to cultivate such a palate, I honestly feel we'd see a massive global shift for the better within a few short years.
12 Things Really Educated People Know
But that still leaves me with trying to fill out a homeschooling report. Where, exactly, does eating snails fit in with the pre-determined curriculum standards? Should we have counted them first? Cut them up to practice fractions? Divided them into ten pieces and practiced quantifying snails in decimals? Written a report about heliciculture? Compared the varieties that are cultivated in Canada to the European and African varieties? Maybe if Bob and I could think faster on our feet (or at the dinner table) we could have come up with a way to make snail gastronomy count toward core curriculum requirements. But we were too busy eating.
So for the time being, I'll simply push the report to the back of my desk. Until our educational system starts asking different questions about what our children learn, I must accept that I will often be at a loss for answers. But I can't worry about that right now. Brussels sprouts are in season, and my kids are hungry for lunch.

Victim impact statements from Jill Meagher's family and friends
The following are victim impact statements read to the court in Melbourne today at Adrian Bayley's plea hearing
Jill Meagher
George McKeon, father of Jill Meagher:
Sir, I am George McKeon, the father of Jill Meagher. Normally we called her Jillian.
These items are only some of the items that will fill my mind for the rest of my life. At the outset, it is hard to say, but it is just not okay to rape and murder my child. That is an absolute.
I am only 55 years of age, my mother is 82, and my daughter is dead.
In September 2012 I had a stroke and Jillian came over because I had the stroke and to help me get through it and extracted a promise from me that I would live and the reason she wanted me to live, which she said quite smartly, was she wanted her children to have a young granddad to run around with.
She loved life.
What happened? She walked, what was outlined to the court happened and she died. It was a brutal ending to her life and something that will live with me for the rest of my life.
I will never see my daughter bearing and rearing her children. I have no other daughters.
My wife of 30 years will never be a maternal grandmother, a distinction between a mother's bond with the child and the children's, so she'll never be - that maternal line has ended.
We often - that is my wife and I in particular - we live in a lovely place in Western Australia.
We actually live opposite a park on the river, where daily there is young mothers and their children.
Every young child, small baby less than three months old, they just remind me of Jillian and they remind me of what would have been, that, by now, Jillian would be three to four months pregnant, we would be engrossed in the life of the babies coming along, and yet this - and she would have had children, presumably more than one.
This is a victim impact statement, so this is the impact on my wife and I. That is a life we will just never have.
We can't have it. We can't have any more children. Thank you.
Tom Meagher, husband:
I was introduced to Jill in November 2001 by our mutual friend, Kiera. It was an awkward first encounter.
I remember I couldn't shake her hand because it was bandaged up. She had injured it the previous day in a characteristically clumsy fashion.
But this inelegant introduction began an 11-year adventure with the most wonderful person I have ever met.
Jill embodied everything I could ever ask for in a partner. Her sense of fun and adventure and her unquenchable lust for life pulled me through difficult times and lifted me even higher in good times.
Now, as I go through the worst time in my life, the person whose passion, intelligence and strength got me through before is no longer there to help me with this struggle.
What was stolen from me on 22 September 2012 was love, my best friend and my entire world. What was stolen from us was our future, the possibility of a family and our lives together.
What has been given to me is a lifetime of fear, insomnia, unending panic attacks, anger that I never wanted or asked for and first-hand knowledge of how deeply depraved and disgusting a human being can be.
My world view has been significantly altered and my belief in the good of humanity has been shaken to its core.
I hesitate to leave my apartment because of the feverish prospect of an anxiety attack that can pounce at the most inappropriate times.
Nightmare-ish and intrusive visions are constant and I don't escape this in sleeping or waking hours.
I have been forced to move from our home in Brunswick, given its proximity to where Jill's death occurred and I am constantly confused, disoriented and unfocused.
The pain of not being able to tell Jill that I loved her in her final moments, the knowledge that those last moments were terrifying and painful and the knowledge that with her final walk she had crossed paths with evil haunts me every day.
The initial stages of the police investigation necessitated a thorough examination of our apartment, our car and our private possessions, which was intrusive and extraordinarily uncomfortable.
This was soon followed by unwelcome messages from members of the public, who convinced themselves that I was involved in Jill's disappearance.
This has exacerbated feelings of horror and a lack of faith in the decency of humanity. The frequency of media intrusion has ebbed and flowed but has never stopped completely.
I have been away from work for substantial periods of time, I have ongoing counselling for trauma and grief and, quite simply, my life will never be normal again.
Most of all, I miss Jill. I miss waking up late on a Sunday and having breakfast at 2 pm. I miss boozy afternoons in the sunshine, making plans, laughing with her and sharing my life with her.
I miss her insight, fun and wit, her huge smile and infectious personality.
I think of her every second of every day and I think of the pain of never being able to laugh with her again.
I think of the waste of a brilliant mind and a beautiful soul at the hands of a grotesque and soulless human being.
I think of how in love we were and of how much I've lost and how much of my life and dreams were built around Jill. I am half a person because of this crime.
Edith McKeon, mother:
I made a choice with my husband, not out of necessity, to come to Australia in 1990 as a family unit. Jillian was seven and her brother, Michael, was four. They thrived on life in this wonderful country that we choose to call home.
We went back for a time to Ireland, where Jillian met her lovely Tom at the age of 19. They married and chose Melbourne for the lifestyle, jobs and the future plans that have now been destroyed.
Jillian loved life and everything it had to offer and was keen to embrace her surroundings and very open to the world and its culture. She was funny, intelligent and had huge empathy for others.
She was my only daughter and I have been robbed of so many precious things we would have shared. My life stopped on 22 September 2012.
I have been shocked to the core of my being. I feel battered and bruised as a mother, never whole again without her.
I can no longer live an ordinary life and my heart suffers from the deepest wound from which it will never recover.
I was her mother for almost 30 years and she was taken so suddenly from my life. The impact of Jillian's murder has been catastrophic. The loneliness and sadness I feel is enormous.
I never realised how much I was thinking of her until she was so cruelly taken. Ordinary things like shopping, I would look at something and automatically think that it would suit Jillian. The emotional impact is huge
I suffer from insomnia, anxiety, panic attacks and I now look at the world so differently.
I have nightmares of her terror that night that she would have gone through. I can never forget what was done to her.
I come across ordinary young couples or young families and they are so happy and normal. It's what Jillian and Tom should have had.
So it's like so many stab wounds and reminders of the life we would have shared with them, that has been so cruelly taken away.
My personal relationship with my husband and son has changed, as we are all dealing with Jillian's murder and the loss of her in different ways.
The emotional harm it has done to us as a family is devastating and inconsolable. We came here as a family of four and we were very close.
Jillian has been torn from all our hearts and the link that held us together has been shattered.
We now have to try and rebuild a new life and even the thought of that just makes me so sad. I have been given a life sentence.
Michael McKeon, brother:
No words, just pain in private. I am unable to complete a statement with adequate words to express the full impact of the brutal loss of my sister Jillian.
Jillian was my only sister, born of the same mother and father, raised in the same home.
We shared the same life, the same upbringing, values and dreams. I am in dreadful pain. I must carry on with living a full life, yet I will never forget my sister.
Effie Lyons, friend:
It is immensely difficult to express how the rape and murder of my beautiful, funny friend Jill has affected, and will continue to affect, my life.
The world that collapsed when she was missing has been put back together wrong.
Before and after, and juxtaposed uncomfortably, much of my time is occupied with thinking about her, about how much I miss her, about what happened to her or, conversely, trying not to think about her, an exercise in futility a lot of the time and an exhausting one.
This crime has come to define my life and how I experience the world.
It has tainted any moments of happiness with guilt. Everything has been warped. My perception about everything has irrevocably changed. I feel an innocence has been stolen from me, along with my friend.
I feel vulnerable, sad and incredibly angry, though none of these adjectives are remotely adequate.
I haven't begun to come to terms with what has happened or process the emotions that began to pile up when she was missing. It was a manic, highly charged feverish time.
I drank and smoked copious amounts, I took sleeping pills, as going to sleep without would induce a horrific panicky feeling of hyper-alertness and awareness of a horror film I was in the middle of.
It would bring home the fearfulness of waking up in a nightmare, rather than the relief of waking from one.
Seeing her wedding photos or her lipstick marks on a glass in her apartment was profoundly disconcerting.
I had panic attacks for the first time in my life and I would realise that I had my fists and jaw clenched for hours only when they started to ache.
I have trouble sleeping and disturbing dreams infect my mind, enhancing the feeling of being an alien having to play out at normal living.
I lived and worked in Brunswick, my apartment overlooked Hope Street, and I had to walk the route she took that night innumerable times until I moved out of Melbourne. That was difficult.
Once everything had died down, once the flowers were removed and the rain had washed away the chalk messages written on the pavement, although I could still see the outlines, and keeping my head down to avoid places that reminded me of Jill or of her murder was when those outlines would confront me.
I had walked around Brunswick with Jill so often, had dinners or pints or a coffee with her in so many places that it was incredibly hard to have to continue to live there, to have to walk up Sydney Road and Hope Street, to pass our favourite places, to be constantly accosted by her death. From my balcony, I could see the lane where she was killed.
This proximity became increasingly impossible to live with. Jill is still everywhere around me - in books, films, music and comedy and TV shows we talked about.
She is a constant presence in my mind, the things we planned to do together, the profound and ridiculous conversations we had.
I read books that remind me of her and while there is something in this that makes me feel closer to her, it has an equal and opposite effect as well.
She will spring into my mind at the most inopportune times, queuing in the supermarket, in work or socialising. There is a chasm between myself and the people I encounter.
I have had my eyes opened to the intolerable immense disturbing cruelty of the world.
Each new story about rape, murder, kidnapping, violence against women and I am struck again.
I remember what it was like to be horrified from a distance to discuss these cases like gossip over coffee, but I don't have that luxury any more.
I feel unfixable, that this is something that will get worse with time, as I wake up to the reality of losing my beautiful friend every day and live and try to function in a normal way. I wonder if what was so easily done to Jill could be done to me.
I will never recover from this crime. I may learn to live with it to disperse the impotent rage more effectively.
I will always miss Jill and yet while I remember her, there is the corruption of what happened.
I had a missed call from her shortly before she died. I was asleep, about 100 metres from where it happened.
I will always be haunted by questions. Words fail to express my anger and profound sorrow.
They are compounded by the sense that it could literally have happened to me instead of Jill. She invited me to the pub that night.
I would have taken that route home. I would have responded with indignation and hostility to a man approaching me.
I am acutely aware that given slightly different circumstances, Jill could be here reading her statement about me. This is a stark, painful realisation.
Catherine Hurley, ABC colleague:
The impact of the tragic death of our colleague and friend Jill Meagher on ABC local radio in Victoria has been profound.
Jill was a much-loved member of the local radio family.
She was witty, intelligent and great company. Her friends and workmates at the ABC miss her greatly.
The brutal and random nature of the crime created an outpouring of grief in the entire community, as well as in our own workplace, and dramatically affected the fabric of the team at 774 ABC Melbourne, our regional staff and further afield in other areas of the ABC.
Jill's death left a gaping hole that was difficult to absorb for those of us who walked past her empty desk every day.
Experienced staff who have spent years covering difficult issues struggled with the senseless nature of this crime that cut short the life of a bright and vibrant professional administrator with the whole of her life ahead of her.
Jill had only been working with us for less than a year and we were still getting to know her.She had so much more to contribute. Her sudden death was particularly traumatic given the key nature of Jill's role.
She was the glue that held the group together, chiefly ensuring that the business side of the radio station ran smoothly.
Jill was a trusted colleague and friend and her sudden death made it very hard for us to continue.
The random nature of the crime has made us more cautious. We can all empathise with her fate, thinking, "It could have been me or my sister or daughter."
For such a trusting, kind person to meet such a violent end is hard to be absorb.
Many of us had nightmares and sleepless nights and episodes of prolonged sadness and have sought counselling from our employee assistance program.
At times we have all been distracted and struggled with the need to continue our work while the terrible details of crime unfold.
From the moment we realised that Jill had gone missing, we worked hard to assist the Homicide Squad with its investigation.
Jill's family and friends were pro-active in the search for Jill from the outset, reaching out to the community on social media.
This meant there was unprecedented media interest in the case which put 774 ABC Melbourne in the spotlight while we were struggling to deal with our own feelings of loss.
The responsibility of balancing coverage of the crime appropriately with compassion and respect without giving it undue prominence because of our emotional interest was enormous.
While the team has been incredibly strong and supportive of each other, the crime has taken its toll on us all.
However, we are determined to ensure that this crime does not define us. This is not the type of behaviour tolerated in our community.
The unprecedented outpouring of grief from the people in Melbourne and the enormous media interest around the country and internationally reinforces the need for the court to ensure that the punishment fits the crime.

We are all looking for happiness. Is it possible that it's as close as the end of our forks? Tyler Graham and Drew Ramsey, MD, whose new book, The Happiness Diet: A Nutritional Prescription for a Sharp Brain, Balanced Mood, and Lean, Energized Body, features with a juicy burger on the cover, say it is. And the good looking burger on the cover of their book – meat, cheese, bun, veggies and all – are part of the prescription.
Eating burgers for happiness, with side effects like weight loss, a healthy brain and reduced cravings, sounds like what America has been waiting for. In The Happiness Diet, Ramsey and Graham teach us why the current Modern American Diet (MAD) has increased depression along with waistlines. Our diet has changed drastically over the last 100 years, and along with it, our brains. The MAD diet, which is made up primarily of industrially produced foods, has been stripped of the mood boosting foods that our brains need – fats, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. To improve our mental and emotional health, stabilize moods and improve focus, all which are needed for a good attempt at happiness, we need to eat better. But it's not just about eating more or less carbs, or fat or protein. The Happiness Diet is calling for better food, dare we say… sustainable food. You can imagine that we are pretty happy just thinking about it.
Not many diets focus on sustainable food, which makes this book quite refreshing. The Happiness Diet sees that where our food comes from is as important as which foods we decide to eat. The industrialization of food has stripped away many of the nutrients our bodies and minds need. So in addition to the "diet" that we follow, we need to look beyond the processed and fast foods that have become a staple of the American diet and reconnect with whole, seasonal foods. And as a side, in the "Epilogue," right in line with the philosophies that we find important, the authors remind us that our healthy choices have a ripple effect. These sustainable choices we make impact the land we live on and the people who produce and harvest it too (which can only lead to… more happiness!).
So what exactly is the Happiness Diet?
The Happiness Diet is one made up of healthy and delicious foods that will help to create and maintain a good mood. It is broken down in the book so that it's easy to understand. What nutritional elements are we missing and why do we need them? What foods can we find them in? They even break it out into Focus Foods, Energy Foods and Mood Foods – and let us know how they work.
The book is sprinkled with the "Top 100 Reasons to Avoid Processed Foods" – and there are some good ones.
Reason 21: Old El Paso Taco Dinner kits contain ethoxyquin, a chemical invented by Monsanto in the 1950s and originally registered as a pesticide. There is very limited human safety data, but in a test tube it damages the DNA of human immune cells.
Reason 59: The FDA allows 5% of any jar of maraschino cherries to contain maggots.
Reason 64: More than eighty thousand chemicals are approved for use in the United States. The vast majority of these have not been studied for their safety — many are found in processed food.
Vegetarians and vegans beware! This book is for meat eaters. But if you have an open mind there is solid information about what vitamins/minerals/fats/etc. are essential for a healthy mind. With some substitutes, you could follow what they have outlined.
Graham and Ramsey have not only introduced the principles behind The Happiness Diet, but they tell you how you can make it happen. They outline a meal plan and even talk you through shopping and stocking your kitchen. With delicious recipes such as Brussels Sprouts with Bacon, Barley Tabbouleh, Slow Pork and Mexican Breakfast, I don't know why you wouldn't give happiness a chance.

Guinea opposition decries "appalling" poll fraud
CONAKRY, Guinea (AP) — Guinea's opposition said Monday that "appalling" fraud committed during the West African nation's legislative poll would make it difficult to accept the results, raising the possibility of a turbulent postelection period.
The vote over the weekend was intended to complete Guinea's transition to democracy after decades of dictatorship and strongman rule. It had been delayed by nearly two years because of disputes over how it would be conducted that led to deadly protests as recently as last week.
On Monday night, opposition leaders attended an emergency meeting as the electoral commission prepared to announce provisional results on Tuesday. Speaking to reporters afterward, opposition politician Sidya Toure said the vote had been marred by ballot-stuffing, vote-tampering and the creation of more than 50 fake polling stations.
"Our conclusion today is appalling. There has been tampering of every kind," Toure said. "In Conakry, the government is about to proclaim fraudulent results."
The emergency meeting was attended by opposition leaders including Cellou Dalein Diallo, who came in second in Guinea's first democratic presidential election in 2010. Toure said the leaders had not decided on a concrete course of action.
"If in the days to come the electoral commission does not correct this dysfunction, the opposition will not be able to accept the results and will decide on future actions," he said.
Earlier in the day, the European Union observer mission issued a preliminary declaration saying there had been significant organizational problems but that voters had been able to freely express their will.
The electoral commission had been expected to release partial results Monday night, but an official who insisted on anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press said a spokesman had fallen ill, delaying the announcement. Provisional results are expected to be announced Tuesday.
Authorities have warned against the dissemination of unofficial results. Supporters of both the opposition and ruling parties took to the streets of Conakry Sunday night celebrating victory, and mass text messages were also distributed declaring winners for individual races.
Alassane Conde, minister for territorial administration, warned in a statement late Sunday that anyone "sowing confusion" by broadcasting fake results would "face the rigor of the law."

(Press release from Toxic Arrow Promotions)
Explosive UK metal newcomers ready debut album release
Dry Lung Rhetoric
ABAF Records, June 3.
A beautiful blend of progressive textures and soaring vocal arrangements.' TheNewReview
Purely sensational music and experimentation.- Throwing Shapes Media & Reviews
Dry Lung Rhetoric is a calling card from a band destined for great things, combining melody, aggression, attitude and ambition to an exhilarating effect. OneMetal.com
Bursting onto the UK metal/prog-metal scene all guns blazing, energetic new Reading-based six-piece Schemata Theory prepare to unleash their explosive debut album Dry Lung Rhetoric on June 3.
The album, which was recorded at the renowned Stakeout Studios and produced by Jason Wilcock (Fightstar, We Are The Ocean, The Ghost of A Thousand), features 11 tracks and includes a guest appearance from Mutiny Withins Chris Clancy on concluding final track, The Final Breath.
Combining many aspects of the metal genre, Dry Lung Rhetoric fuses classic thrash riffing, progressive technical instrumental passages, melodic hooks and soaring choruses, creating a set of songs that are accessible, original and thought provoking.
From the groove-metal orientated Perish or Prevail to the piano driven ballad Your Belief, through to the more commercially melodic Drones and catchy lead single A Complex Slate, the album is an experimental mix of eclectic metal infusions with the influence of bands such as Dream Theater and Metallica being prominent in the complex song structures, technical riffs and prominent guitar solos.
The message behind the album is an interesting one. The albums themes communicate acknowledgement of a sleeping world needing to wake up, explains psychology graduate and vocalist Myles Dyer. With so much evidently in crisis on this planet, the question that must be asked is How much longer can we go on turning a blind eye?
The band has released an impressive and eye-catching video for lead single A Complex Slate, which has already gained in excess of 45,000 views.
View the video here: http://youtu.be/0gLG_
The single is available to download now on iTunes.
Ahead of the release the Schemata Theory will play a special London showcase event at Camden Barfly on May 17 alongside fellow new up-and-comers Hybris + Deadly Circus Fire.
Tickets are available via Ticket Web: http://www.ticketweb.co.

GU Chomps utilize GU Energy Gel's proven blend of carbohydrates, amino acids, antioxidants and electrolytes in a chewable form.
Like GU, Chomps contain a balance of complex carbohydrates (maltodextrin) and simple carbs (tapioca syrup and cane sugar) as the basis for delivering fast and usable energy. Each carbohydrate plays a key role in fueling your competitive fire. Together they get you moving faster and longer, not to mention helping you feel better on the rebound.
Amino Acids:
Of course there is more to GU and Chomps than just carbs. Both contain branched chain amino acids, which provide extra energy during exercise and play a key role in maintaining concentration and accelerating recovery from a hard workout or race.
GU Chomps are the only energy chews on the market with amino acids.
GU Chomps are chock full of two key antioxidants, all natural vitamins C and E. Free radicals hate us! We can't guarantee that you won't bonk or won't be sore after a long workout, but certainly the advanced food science behind GU products will help.
GU Chomps are the only energy chew on the market with 100% DV of Vitamins C & E.
Meaningful levels of electrolytes, when supported by water, help you stay hydrated and firing on all cylinders.
GU Chomps contain 55mg of sodium & 40mg of potassium per serving.
Caffeine has meaningful benefits for athletes during training or racing as it:
Stimulates the central nervous system
Increases the release of adrenalin and helps the body metabolize fat as fuel.
GU Chomps are available in a variety of caffeinated and caffeine-free flavors.

Brent and Cameron Peavy have been playing football
together since they were 5.
Football at its very foundation, is a game for children.
For twins Brent and Cameron Peavy, it's a game that started as small kids -- a 5-year-old Brent announcing that he would be the quarterback, Cameron happy to play along as the receiver -- and has carried them into an explosive senior season at undefeated Texas Lutheran University.
The boys have had plenty of opportunity to pursue other interests, to walk away from football, to choose individual paths. But the bond of brotherhood has been stronger than everything else.
In junior high school, the boys told their parents, Darrell and Kayren Peavy, that they would go to separate colleges. But Kayren laughs about that one -- the closer they got to graduating from high school in Houston, the more they actually visited colleges and talked about separating, the more improbable that seemed.
Brent was determined to play football. He had to find a school close enough that his parents could still drive to all of his games, just as they have since fifth grade. Incoming head coach Danny Padron and the Bulldogs were a fit.
In the end, as it always has, brotherhood won out.
"Brent talked to Coach Padron and basically I just followed behind Brent," Cameron said. "We knew we wanted to go to the same college."
Cameron, who played shooting guard to Brent's point guard on the St. Pius X High School basketball team, ultimately turned down a basketball scholarship to play football with his brother. That shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone. The brothers don't often choose to be separated.
"You won't see one with out the other," Padron said. "They're in classes together, they're in everything. They do everything together."
Cameron's commitment to football has always been split with his own love for basketball -- his mother's game in high school. It's no secret. Padron knows it. Brent and Cameron openly discuss it. But Brent is the older brother, the quarterback of the Peavy team, and he called the play. Cameron wanted to play the game -- any game -- with his brother more than he wanted to play basketball with anyone else.
"They just really do have a special bond," Kayren said. "They really do. I guess it meant more to him to play with his brother than anything."
The problem was, the Bulldogs already had a young quarterback. While Cameron cracked the starting receiving corps as a sophomore, Brent was still staring at the possibility of playing a backup role until his senior year.
That, the twins admit, was a strange feeling. Padron saw them struggling. From the time they were 5, tiny kids tossing a football in their backyard, Brent has always been the quarterback.
"I had to put trust into another quarterback," Cameron said. "Which I haven't done -- at all in my life. Because every time we've ever played football together, he's always been my quarterback, and we've always been on the same page. … And also it was the fact that I knew football was mainly his sport and I kind of was more into basketball."
People always wanted to split them up. Other kids in the subdivision tried to insist that the boys play on separate teams in pickup games. Youth coaches tried to position Cameron at other places on the field -- wouldn't he like to play running back, or somewhere in the defensive secondary?
Football is a game for kids. But adults make the rules. For once, kid brothers won out over the grown ups. Cameron's dad told him to stand by what he wanted.
"He [Brent] told them he would stand there and wait until they called his number," Kayren said.
But the Bulldogs called Cameron's number first. And Brent, who chose Texas Lutheran and football, waited.
"It was a little hard for me to have to sit behind," Brent said. "But at the time, Coach Padron thought that I wasn't ready and I always respect his decisions and he's usually right. … As far as seeing Cameron out there on the field, it was hard because yeah, I really wanted to play with him."
Padron says the boys considered leaving. Because if one left, the other would certainly follow.
But the presumed starting quarterback failed to return for the Peavy twins' junior year and Brent stepped into the job a year earlier than he'd expected. Even then, after two years of waiting, he might not have been fully prepared. Brent says he tried to force some throws, he wasn't as perceptive about taking what the defense gave him -- maybe he wasn't as diligent in watching film as he could have been.
The last three games of the season he started to come into his own. And, after a summer of faithful workouts and drills with his brother and a third player, the twins are having a senior season that children only dream about.
The Bulldogs are undefeated. After beating East Texas Baptist University, 64-41 on Saturday, Texas Lutheran (3-0, 2-0) is one win away from a SCAC championship. Austin (1-4, 0-0) travels to the Bulldogs this weekend for their final conference game.
TLU hasn't started a season 3-0 since 1976, well before the 21-year-old Peavy twins were born. The Bulldogs might well be four games up, but a lightening delay ultimately canceled the homecoming game two weeks ago against Southwestern Assemblies of God University. TLU led 14 -7 when the game was called off.
And the twins are putting up video-game numbers. In
Saturday's win over the Tigers, Brent tied the school record,
throwing for six touchdowns. Four of those went to Cameron. Coach
Padron, laughing, says there should have been a fifth --
Brent's mistake.
The kids aren't counting those things. Sure, it's fun to look at the box score the next day and see the big figures. It's rewarding to see the hours of work adding up to yards, catches, and points. But the big numbers are wins, and it takes a whole team to count that high.
"Everyone knows, there's that chemistry between those two," Padron said. "But Brent's going to throw it to the open guy. He's going to read through his progression, and he's not going to do anything to try to force it to his brother."
Brent laughs about that. He said his mother used to remind him, as a high school player, to make sure he got the ball to his brother.
That's probably not something he needs to be reminded to do. The Bulldogs run a spread offense, and there are plenty of capable receivers eager and able to grab the ball. Cameron does lead the receivers, with 24 catches for 454 yards and six touchdowns.
But how could Brent not be looking for his brother downfield? He knows his brother as well as himself, their minds in minute agreement on almost everything -- everything except some foods, some colors. He knows how Cameron runs his routes, he knows how fast, how could he not? Even after four years as their coach, Padron says the boys are often indistinguishable. Cameron is slightly taller. Brent's hairline might be slightly lower.
But one throws it, and the other catches it, just like hundreds of kids playing in backyards across the country. Just like they've been doing for 15 years.
"When we were around 5 or 6 and we were just throwing the ball around," Cameron said. "I guess we just kind of thought, 'Hey, it would be kind of cool if you were a quarterback and I was receiver.'"
Cameron, the younger, is a little looser. His mother calls him the big baby. Brent is a little more serious. But Padron says he runs out of words to describe them both. Their energy, their enthusiasm, their brilliant smiles.
"Their personalities just shine," he said. "The best thing about them is their smile. They just light up the room."
Next year, the boys say that they'll finally split. Brent plans to go on to graduate school at the University of Houston. Cameron plans to join his father in the family telecommunications business.
Their mother says she'll believe it when she sees it. Their coach says he fully expects them to pool their talents off the field. The boys say they don't really feel like they'll ever be any further away than, say, a football field.
"It'll be a little different," Brent said. "But I still think that we're going to have that connection. Even when we're apart, we're still somewhat together."

Update: plans for Tribal Method have changed just a bit. See the website for details.
Just recently I sat down to share with whoever is interested what I'm up to lately and where I hope to be going. Instead, the article turned into a screed on introvert exploration. Which is okay, because it was a topic I wanted to talk about anyway, and with it now out of the way I can try the other bit again.
I've rambled quite a bit about my past in other places, mostly at Tabula Crypticum, so no need to dig into that deeply. But a synopsis is worthwhile still before revealing the new stuff.
At age fifteen I started in the plumbing business, a family obligation. After ten years of that torture I stumbled into a product design career, my goal at the time, starting with 7 highly educational years at Texas Instruments. When that ended I bounced around a bit in various technical ventures as US manufacturing outsourcing reduced opportunities for a maker like me. And after losing a too-short dream opportunity at Nokia I ended up in IT application support.
And that's really not where I want to be.
I have some ideas, guys. Some small and easily rendered by myself into something real, and some so big and potentially game-changing in some way that I would need to wrap a sizeable company around them. They've been popping up for decades, and each job change has just opened up more possibilities to explore.
I have so many ideas that I can't manage them all. So I've tried assembling teams, virtual and local, to get things going. With very little, if any, success so far.
So most of these ideas are stagnating, which is really eating at me. But one thought keeps me optimistic. It's that I don't need to be their ultimate owner; I just want to be their launcher.
You see, I'm not as big on monetary gain as I am on accomplishment. And I'm also a huge believer in the team approach… including team recognition over my own. Because I was insecure enough as a kid; having outgrown that long ago, I have motivators other than the need for attention. My biggest satisfaction comes from helping someone else succeed. And if it's with the germ of an idea I had, even better! But I want the attention on the solution and the team that made it happen.
As my ideas accumulated and lingered, I realized I was seeing the same sort of thing I had seen in the Maemo and MeeGo communities: plenty of needs, plenty of people wanting to work on needs, and yet a big gap in execution. Organization was required, but these were contributors who resisted organization. After all, that leads to bureaucracies. Which lead to dead projects.
But then, so does inaction.
I've been thinking for some time that a solution to this dilemma would be big. And every now and then I toyed with creating one. I know many of the issues: different opinions on best practices, resource fragmentation, etc. I also know that the answers lie in solving functional disconnects, automation gaps, and similar. If people can work the way they want, without being burdened by technical obstacles and personality clashes, it's a lot easier to get them on board a project. After all, technology is supposed to be an invisible enabler!
With those thoughts in mind, I believe I'm finally pulling a solution together. Participating in local entrepreneurial, social media and application development groups has really helped.
So yesterday I took out the domain tribalmethod.com. Because I have this idea that will help me solve the team assembly problem holding back other ideas, and very likely help you, too. It will work for open source, closed source and gradients in between. There will be opportunities for recognition, money and whatever else motivates you. I just could use help developing it.
There's nothing at the Tribal Method domain… yet. I'm going to need to assemble a team for that. A chicken-and-egg dilemma, but hopefully I've piqued the interest of the right people.
Hop on board. Ask anything. This is going to be fun. ;)
