Op-Ed: Where Does SLoCaT Stand in Realizing Sustainable Transport?
Three years ago the Partnership on Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport (SLoCaT) was established to address the relative absence of sustainable transport in the global discussions on sustainable development and climate change. Rapid motorization in the developing world and its negative impacts motivated the organizations that came together in SLoCaT. There was agreement that SLoCaT should initially have a mandate for three years only and that by the end of 2012 a decision would be made whether to call it a day or to go on, possibly, with a revised mission. Those three years have gone by. So where is SLoCaT now and what is next; declare victory and move on, admit defeat and move on, or stay in the fight? Continue reading

Op-Ed: Do you know your ecological footprint?
Toward the end of each year, I take a few minutes to run my personal Ecological Footprint scan to see if I can get a handle on how I am doing relative to myself, to others and to the planet. Seems like the least I can do, not less because it does oblige me to think about my life pattern and choices in the greater scheme of things. "Walk the talk", etc., etc. (PS. On a more global basis, to get a feel for where the high scores hang out, this map of earth lights at night will provide you with some good clues.) Continue reading

The World – the Climate – the Strategy. Come argue with me.
Part I: Ten steps to get the job done:
Let me sketch out an easy to understand (or reject) climate/transport foundation strategy that presents some stark contrasts with the ideas and approaches that are getting the bulk of attention when it comes to targeting, policy and investment in the sector — and which in a first instance is quite likely to earn me more enemies than friends (that goes with the territory). At least until such time that these basic underlying ideas are expressed in a manner which is sufficiently clear and convincing that we can with confidence put them to work to turn the tide. So here you have my first brief statement of the issues, the basic strategic frame and the key pressure points to which I invite your critical reactions and comments. In a second piece in this series, to follow shortly, I intend to have a look at the package(s) of measures, policies, tools, modes, etc. which can be sorted out, combined and refined to do something about it. Or maybe not.

India Steers Full Speed towards Low Carbon Transport
We do not normally carry media releases on projects, programs, reports or books, but today we make an exception and are gladly posting the following important announcement. We share this both here, in India Streets and on the Sustran Global South forum for comment and discussion. It is our firm intention to keep an independent eye on this potentially promising program, and our firm hope that the money spent and technical resources brought to the job will result above all in multiplying the number of many and diverse on-street examples of how sustainable mobility works in the interest of the entire population — and not just the privileged (automotive and relatively affluent) few. As William Blake put it roughly two centuries ago: "He who would do good to another must do it in minute particulars." We pledge keep as eye on the minute particulars, in the hope that we are going to see examples of policies and practices not only for India but for the world. Continue reading

Kaohsiung 2010 Papers. Sharing/Strategy for a Small Planet. Part I
After many decades of a single dominant city-shaping transportation pattern – i.e., for those who could afford it: owning and driving our own cars, trucks, motorcycles and bicycles, getting into taxis by ourselves, riding in streets that are designed for cars and not much else — there is considerable evidence accumulating that we have already entered into a world of new mobility practices that are changing the transportation and city landscape in many ways. It has to do with sharing, as opposed to outright ownership. But strange to say, this trend seems to have escaped the attention of the policymakers in many of the institutions directly concerned.

Transport and the lock-in problem
Politicians are reluctant to confront the economic and environmental costs of transport. The task: to reduce the demand for mobility. I probably don't write about transport as much as I ought to, and that was brought home to me at an event on The Future of Transport in Leuven in Belgium, at which I was also a speaker. There's a case for regarding transport as a climate emergency, given that it accounts for about a quarter of Europe's carbon emissions, and that in the last decade (unlike pretty much every other sector) emissions from transport have continued to grow sharply. And before I continue, even if you're a climate sceptic, this represents a significant policy issue: the transport sector (at least, the non-human powered transport sector) is 97% dependent on fossil fuels. As these become scarcer, more expensive, and more prone to interruption, we will have an incipient social and economic problem which is serious enough to prod policy makers. … Read More

Dancing around the carbon tax in the United States Senate
Climate and climate policy are more than moderately complicated issues, as we all are well aware. But at the end of the day we know too there are a certain number of basic underlying truths that shape these issues and outcomes, which one either grasps or one does not. And in this regard, there can be little doubt that the most single powerful single lever available for slowing down climate damage is carbon-reduction — and by far the most powerful way to achieve this is through a well-fashioned carbon tax. You put a price on carbon emissions, a high price preferably, and you can be sure that they will come down. Economics 101. But say this to a hundred bright people, and 99 will immediately, without losing a beat, look you in the eye and start to list all the reasons why this cannot be done. Wrong! It can be done.

World Carfree Day: Interview with Eric Britton
September 22 is an important date to remember – it's World Carfree Day (WCD). Celebrated in towns and cities all over the world, it's a day when streets are closed to cars and open for pedestrians, pedalers, parties and pleasure. Eric Britton, a sustainability activist, international adviser and consultant on sustainable transportation, is recognised for his work promoting and propelling WCD to international attention. Much of his work involves co-ordinating the collaborative New Mobility Agenda and World Streets online journal, which encompass a number of possible transport solutions, including public transport, bike sharing and shared space projects. In an interview with Carbusters, Eric shared his thoughts about the problems, popularity and prospects for WCD, and points out the importance of bringing it into the policy agenda of governments in order to improve urban transport sustainability.

Brazilians observe how Germans are creating Low Emission Zones in cities
When it comes to the performance and quality of our streets in cities around the world, the simple truth is that for now at least we are stuck with far more losers than winners. But that is only part of the story; and one of the tasks of World is to keep a weather eye out for projects and programs, tools and policies which open up the possibility of creating better streets and better cities. Here for example you have a conversation between a Brazilian environmentalist and a German scientist running a pioneering program for a low emissions zone which is up and running in Berlin.

The End of Climate? Hello Professor Krugman.
Engaging the battle to mitigate climate change is one of the fundamental driving principles behind World Streets, since we have taken it as our main metric for remedial action in the transport sector, which as you all know accounts for something like 20% +/-5% of all GHG emissions. By "metric" we mean that the climate emergency calls for sharp near-term reductions in emissions, and it just so happens that the transport sector is extremely well placed to do its part. But in light of recent attacks on the part of climate deniers, what is the score? Should we now give up on our climate metric? Let us hear what Paul Krugman, winner of the 2008 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science, has to say about it. Continue reading

Next Steps After Copenhagen: Opportunities and Challenges in the Transport Sector
For those of you who may have missed this recent brainstorming session organized at the Inter-American Development Bank in Washington DC and attended by a number of other important players on the worldwide sustainable transport scene, here is the next best thing we can offer you, complete with more comprehensive references and URLs to the main presentations. I am sure that many or our readers would have liked to be there to observe and contribute in person. You now have a chance to send your comments to all those who were there are the time.
A wrap-up of key messages from EMBARQ's Transforming Transportation 2010.
Source: EMBARQ.org
Last Friday, January 15, 180 transport and climate change experts from local and national governments, multi-lateral development agencies, academic institutions, nonprofits and private companies gathered in Washington, D.C. to discuss "Next Steps After Copenhagen: Opportunities and Challenges in the Transport Sector" as part of the annual Transforming Transportation conference.
The full-day event, held at the Inter-American Development Bank headquarters, came one month after the international community met in Copenhagen to negotiate the next phase of the Kyoto Protocol and a new international climate agreement on reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. The event was jointly organized by the Asian Development Bank, EMBARQ – The World Resources Institute Center for Sustainable Transport, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the Partnership on Sustainable Low Carbon Transport.
The day's events, hosted at IDB's Enrique Iglesias Auditorium, provided a forum for the transport, climate and development communities to discuss the following topics:
* How the transport community can best engage in solving the challenges caused by climate change;
* Connections between climate change and other drivers of transport interventions in developing countries;
* Outcomes of the Climate Conference in Copenhagen and significance for national and local policy making in the transport sector.
Organizers drafted key messages that will help inform the following initiatives, including:
* The United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) discussion and policy guidelines on sustainability in the transport sector;
* The Regional Environmental Sustainable Transportation Strategy of the Inter-American Development Bank;
* The 2010-2011 work plan for the Partnership on Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport.
The key messages from the event Next Steps After Copenhagen are:
#1: Climate change mitigation efforts need to address emissions from the transport sector in developing countries in order to limit global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels by 2050, a target suggested by the IPCC and referred to by the Copenhagen Accord.
#2: Decision making in the transport sector should consider multiple policy objectives in support of sustainable development, including adaptation to climate change, greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, economic and social development, congestion relief, road safety, air quality and health.
#3: Countries can take important steps towards sustainable, low carbon transportation now, before the international community reaches a new international climate agreement or revised Kyoto Protocol. Leading developing countries and cities have initiated efforts to make their transport sectors less carbon intensive or, in some cases, completely carbon neutral.
#4: The allocation of transport-related funds requires a paradigm shift. The guiding principle in future transport funding should be the Avoid-Shift-Improve approach. A better understanding of the mitigation potential in the transport sector will speed up the formulation of more comprehensive investment strategies. Externalities, such as air pollution and carbon emissions, must be addressed through comprehensive pricing policies. And financing from different sources – i.e. nonprofits, multi-lateral development agencies, governments, and the private sector – need to complement each other, rather than work towards different goals. As a large and fast-growing source of carbon emissions, the transport sector should have access to financing under international climate change agreements, in order to spur mitigation activities.
#5: There should be more financial support directed towards enabling and preparatory activities, rather than simply investing in transport systems and infrastructure alone. Sector-wide programs can significantly complement individual projects, and they should include a bundle of measures, instead of isolated interventions, to make transport projects more sustainable.
#6: Adaptation needs to be mainstreamed in the transportation sector. Knowledge, tools and methodologies to address climate change adaptation must be developed, tested, scaled up and mainstreamed quickly into the transportation sector. There is also a need to identify synergies and trade-offs between adaptation and mitigation activities, which should work in conjunction with each other as part of an overall transportation strategy.

Lessons from COP15 : Staring the challenge in the eyes. Three Failures – Three new beginnings
It's close to midnight on this fateful Friday the 18th, as COP15 suddenly trudges unfulfilled sadly into our past. And as I sort through the debris, I am struggling to figure out what might be the main lessons of this experience. Let me share with you my late-night thoughts concerning three event-shaping failures, or at least stark short-comings which I suggest we will all do well to learn from. After all we have the planet waiting for us. Continue reading

You, me, technology, pattern breaks and unleashing the power of the market: Think Copenhagen Wheel
World Streets rarely gives in to "technical fix" solutions to our dual challenges of wrecking the planet and our cities staying stuck in hopelessly outmoded 20th century patterns and actions – because we know for sure that the answer lies not in the deus ex machine of technology but above all within ourselves. But hold on for a minute – let's have a look and give some thought to . . . the Copenhagen Wheel (nice name!).
Anything that works.
As we look around the mournful Nordic battlefield this morning, at the strewn bodies, broken hopes, and hastily retreating figures and CO2 streams that will soon have been all that remain of COP15, we have every reason to be ready to look hard at any and all ideas that may hold out promise for the future, for the near future, no matter how few, no matter how strange at first glance.
So today let's relax a bit and ponder something developed by a group of technology heads at MIT, which, surprise!, brings us right up before the necessary path to behavioral change — a most obdurate challenge as we have been seeing in Copenhagen these weeks. Still there are times when technology can help us, not only do things differently but also to do them better. To help us make, one by one, more sustainable choices. That after all is what sustainability is all about.
So let's have a gander at the Copenhagen Wheel, an interesting playful, and idea-ful, example of how this can work. And oh yes!, let's not stop there.
MIT's big wheel in Copenhagen
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. —Dec. 15, at the Copenhagen Conference on Climate Change, MIT researchers debut the Copenhagen Wheel — a revolutionary new bicycle wheel that not only boosts power, but can keep track of friends, fitness, smog and traffic. Though it looks like an ordinary bicycle wheel with an oversized center, the Wheel's bright red hub is a veritable Swiss army knife's worth of electronic gadgets and novel functions.
"Over the past few years we have seen a kind of biking renaissance, which started in Copenhagen and has spread from Paris to Barcelona to Montreal," says Carlo Ratti, director of the MIT SENSEable City Laboratory and the Copenhagen Wheel project. "It's sort of like 'Biking 2.0′ — whereby cheap electronics allow us to augment bikes and convert them into a more flexible, on-demand system."
The first goal of the Copenhagen Wheel project is to promote cycling by extending the range of distance people can cover and by making the whole riding experience smoother so that even steep inclines are no longer a barrier to comfortable cycling.
Toward this end, the Wheel can store energy every time the rider puts on the brakes, and then give that power back to provide a boost when riding uphill or to add a burst of speed in traffic.
"The Wheel uses a technology similar to the KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System), which has radically changed Formula One racing over the past couple of years," says Ratti. "When you brake, your kinetic energy is recuperated by an electric motor and then stored by batteries within the wheel, so that you can have it back to you when you need it. The bike wheel contains all you need so that no sensors or additional electronics need to be added to the frame and an existing bike can be retrofitted with the blink of an eye."
"Our city's ambition is that 50 percent of the citizens will take their bike to work or school every day," says Ritt Bjerregaard, Lord Mayor of Copenhagen. "So for us, this project is part of the answer to how can we make using a bike even more attractive."
But there are also a variety of extra functions hidden within the hub of the Copenhagen Wheel. By using a series of sensors and a Bluetooth connection to the user's iPhone, which can be mounted on the handlebars, the wheel can monitor the bicycle's speed, direction and distance traveled, as well as collect data on air pollution and even the proximity of the rider's friends.
"One of the applications that we have discussed with the City of Copenhagen is that of an incentive scheme whereby citizens collect Green Miles — something similar to frequent flyer miles, but good for the environment," says Christine Outram, who led the team of MIT researchers.
The project also aims to create a platform for individual behavioral change.
"The Copenhagen Wheel is part of a more general trend: that of inserting intelligence in our everyday objects and of creating a smart support infrastructure around ourselves for everyday life," says Assaf Biderman, associate director of the project. "For example, the Wheel has a smart lock: if somebody tries to steal it, it goes into a mode where the brake regenerates the maximum amount of power, and sends you a text message. So in the worst case scenario the thief will have charged your batteries before you get back your bike."
The initial prototypes of the Copenhagen Wheel were developed along with company Ducati Energia and the Italian Ministry of the Environment. It is expected that the wheel will go into production next year, with a tag price competitive with that of a standard electric bike. According to Claus Juhl, CEO of Copenhagen, the city might place the first order and use bicycles retrofitted with the Copenhagen Wheel as a substitution for city employee cars as part of the city's goal to become the world's first carbon-neutral capital by 2025.

The Copenhagen Wheel team at MIT is composed of Christine Outram, Project Leader, Rex Britter, Andrea Cassi, Xiaoji Chen, Jennifer Dunnam, Paula Echeverri, Myshkin Ingawale, Ari Kardasis, E Roon Kang, Sey Min, Assaf Biderman and Carlo Ratti. The project was developed for the City of Copenhagen in cooperation with Ducati Energia and with the support of the Italian Ministry for the Environment.

Now what happens?
What about this? Let's assume this is something that really can be developed into a serious sustainability tool, so now what?
Let's assume that the goal – I am correct in this? – is to make the strongest possible contribution to a sustainable planet and more livable cities – what is the best, the fastest, the most powerful way in which this idea can be put to work.
Have no doubt about it, if the product really does fill a market niche, there will be industrial groups that will reverse engineer it in a few days and be able to put their own versions on the market before our MIT colleagues figure out what they are going to do next September. This brave new world, the global economy, and the forces of the market will see to that.
So, now what?
The editor
PS. Is there anyone who is brave enough to explain to our MIT friends about the perils of weird CaptALIZation? We need to save the planet AND preserve our languages. ;-)

Not for COP15: Two we should probably set aside on Day 1 Not 1. Cap-and-Trade. Not 2. Carbon Offsets.
It's not quite transport per se, but it is climate, and yes, climate is transport. So take eight minutes to view this presentation by one team of why Cap-and-Trade and Carbon Offsets are way off target, and worse if climate protection is the game. That at least is the story of "The Story of Cap & Trade."
Don't be fooled by the casual tone. There is real analysis behind this little presentation. (That said, check out Comments below where I am sure we shall be seeing other views on this.)
Here is how they describe their motivations for making this film:
"We made The Story of Cap & Trade to encourage a real discussion about how to solve the enormous climate challenges we face. If there was ever an issue that merited broad, even heated public debate, this is it. I'd far rather people argue about cap and trade and other policy options than ignore them or silently go along with the crowd, even when our guts tell us the solution on the table is inadequate…." (Click here for their full statement.)
Click here to view their eight minute video.
The New York Times of 2 December had this to day about this little film:
"The push by pro-climate bill, anti-cap-and-trade groups is also getting stronger. A film released yesterday by The Story of Stuff, Free Range Studios, Climate Justice Now! and Durban Group for Climate Justice is aimed at the general public and attempts to explain the cap-and-trade concept in a simple way. It tells listeners that "the devils in the details" of cap and trade including free allowances and offsets will only line the pockets of Wall Street…" (You can read the full NYT piece here.)
You may also find that it useful to have a look at the annotated script which provides foot notes on just about all of the points made. Click here for script.
Sometimes it's simple. Transport and Climate change
I am not sure if irony is the right word in this case, but we can be absolutely sure that both Cap-and-Trade and Carbon Offsets are going to get a huge amount of attention in Copenhagen this week. But we could, if we chose to, do a lot better.
We are, the transport sector that is, as you know something like 20% of the problem. And when it comes to how all six and a half billions of us get around in our day to day lives, there are only two solutions that will do the job: (1) Carbon taxes and (2) New Mobility choices. There is no other way out.
Now all we need is the leadership, the strong consensus to get us there. Stay tuned.
And make youir voice heard.

COP15: Getting transport into the climate agenda Why get in the middle of a cat fight when you don't have to.
Lee Shipper has challenged the thought expressed in today's feature article concerning the importance of finding ways to bring the sustainable transport agenda into higher much relief in the COP15 climate negotiations just about to get underway. His point — maybe a better idea not to do this at all — is one on which we would like to invite your comments here.
Schipper writes on this date: COP15: Getting transport into the climate agenda
AS one of the creators of this agenda, let me promote it by pointing out that the basic paradigm STARTS with sustainable transportation and reaps CO2 savings as a co-benefit.
The greatest problem for the COP is that there are few key transport system stakeholders there at any time. That, in my humble opinion, may be a reason NOT to put transport into the climate agenda.
Rather, put climate into the transport agenda and keep transport out of the reaches of the bitterly divided debate that is already apparent here in Copenhagen, where the police appear to be preparing for an onslaught.
We cannot solve long-term problems of transport and land use in the more narrow confines of an overheated debate over CO2, however important that CO2 problem is looming.

GS111f Human Rights in Global Perspective Offered by Colby's Oak Human Rights Fellow, an examination of the struggle for peace and justice in South Africa with close attention to the violence that kills many young men and the patriarchy that subjugates young women. How did the Truth and Reconciliation work in South Africa, and more recently in Sierra Leone. How are communities coping with youth violence? What are they doing about "ukuthwala" (abductions for forced marriage)? Nongraded. Optional practicum for an additional credit. Prerequisite: Sophomore or higher standing. One credit hour. NHLENGETWA
GS211j Human Rights and Social Struggles in Global Perspective Human rights have become one of the primary frameworks for understanding justice and injustice in the world today. Anthropology, however, with its longstanding commitments to exploring diversity and highlighting social inequalities, has often been uneasy with the universalism of human rights advocacy. A critical examination of such issues as relativism, women's and indigenous rights, and genocide. Involves a significant service learning component centered on the Oak Human Rights Fellowship. Students research candidates, develop reports, compare candidates, and nominate finalists to the selection committee. Assignments include written and oral modes of analysis. Strong emphasis on discussion and collaborative debate. Prerequisite: Anthropology 112 and sophomore or higher standing. Three credit hours. FAN

GS297f Global Health and Human Rights Explores how human rights discourse is mobilized in medical humanitarian interventions across different ethnographic contexts. Students will interrogate how this discourse is invoked, the intended and unintended outcomes emerging from such interventions, and the politics and ethics that undergird their deployment. We will examine how to understand health as a human right and how to reconcile intersecting discourses that call these rights into question. Focus will be on disentangling the ethics, politics, institutions, and practices that constitute medical humanitarianism, and the implications for claiming human rights. Prerequisite: Anthropology 112. Four credit hours. FAN
[GS352] Internationalism: From Socialism to the World Social Forum Since the founding of the International Workingmen's Association in 1864, social movements have established numerous transnational organizations. International solidarity has, nonetheless, often proven susceptible to national antagonisms, most famously in the trenches of World War I. Considers the historical genealogy of today's international movements and their complex relationships to the modern nation-state. Case studies may include labor, anarchist, anticolonial, and indigenous struggles, the World Social Forum, as well as transnational advocacy networks. Assignments include written and oral modes of analysis. Strong emphasis on discussion and collaborative debate. Previously listed as International Studies 397. Prerequisite: Anthropology 112. Four credit hours. S.
GS397f Global Humanitarianism Listed as Anthropology 397. Four credit hours. HALVORSON
GS435s Seminar: Memory and Politics Listed as Government 435. Four credit hours. YODER
[GS437] Media, Culture, and the Political Imagination Due largely to a surge of work by political filmmakers—from Moore to Gore—documentary film has recently reentered theaters and the popular consciousness after decades of relative neglect. Drawing on literature from cinema studies, visual anthropology, political theory, and social history, we trace the political documentary tradition from its origins in the 1920s. We interrogate evolving notions of political community at different historical junctures and their relationship to formal, aesthetic, as well as collaborative innovation within the documentary tradition from colonialism to grassroots globalization. Assignments include written, oral, and visual modes of analysis; strong emphasis on discussion and collaborative debate. Prerequisite: Anthropology 112 and senior standing. Four credit hours.
[GS451] Ethnicity, Nationalism, and the State in Europe Though the modern nation-state was unknown prior to the 18th century, it is now difficult to imagine life outside its framework of social and political organization. Critically reviews social scientific theories of ethnicity, nationalism, and the state. Examines dynamics of state formation, ethnic conflict, and nationalist revival in Europe. While drawing extensively on ethnographies, emphasizes the interdisciplinary study of the recent transformation of European politics through globalization, migration, and integration. Assignments include written and oral modes of analysis; strong emphasis on discussion and collaborative debate. Prerequisite: Anthropology 112, one other course on Europe, senior standing, and permission of the instructor. Four credit hours.
GS483f, 484s Honors in Global Studies A year-long research project for senior majors, resulting in a written thesis to be publicly presented and defended. Prerequisite: A 3.40 grade point average and permission of the advisory committee. Four credit hours. FACULTY
GS483Jj Honors in Global Studies Noncredit. YODER
GS491f, 492s Independent Study An independent study project devoted to a topic chosen by the student with the approval of an advisor. One to four credit hours. FACULTY
GS498s Non-Governmental Organizations in the Global Arena The proliferation of non-governmental organizations around the world has inspired new ways of thinking about the relationship between the state, citizenry, associations, and globalization. The increasing presence of NGOs, especially in certain sectors (global health, humanitarianism, development) has enabled new linkages to be forged across multiple scales (individual, state, nation, development). We will turn our attention to exploring the specific practices that NGOs enact, how and in what contexts these acts are mobilized, and the power relations implicit in these interactions, focusing on deconstructing the people, practices, and values that constitute NGOs. Prerequisite: A 200-level anthropology course. Four credit hours. FAN

Things I liked:Love the look, size and weight of this beast. It definitely looks and feels like a real firearm. It's great fun to shoot, and I believe there is fine accuracy lurking beneath the surface, however... read on:
Things I would have changed:The barrel-to-frame hook-up is not good. Actually it is quite bad. With the frame of my gun in a vise, there is over an 1/8" of horizontal travel at the muzzle, and a good 3/32" of vertical travel. There is also excessive wobble at the gate-hinge, and between the cylinder and cylinder-pivot-rod. With that much slop in the barrel-to-frame attachment any degree of consistent accuracy is out of the question, and the combination of loose gate-hinge and cylinder-pivot is certainly robbing the gun of velocity, power, and is wasting CO2. I'm sure that I will be able to correct these deficiencies with some shimming and refitting, but with all the attention to the aesthetic detail, there is no excuse for allowing such shabby attention to be given to mechanics which so affect the power, efficiency, and accuracy of a gun retailing at $119.00. Also: Come out with some bullets that look like, uh... bullets. The piece itself is a dead ringer for a real firearm — look, weight... everything. The shell cases are brass, they look like shell cases. The bullets are cheesy looking plastic, the color of... well... CHEESY LOOKING PLASTIC. They spoil the whole vision.
What others should know:This is a beautiful piece, and if you are looking for a showcase gun, go for it. But, if you are looking for a shooter, expect to have some work to do to get this one up to its full potential—which I definitely believe is there.
Things I liked:Well balanced. Very accurate.
Things I liked:Quite a massive piece indeed, and well-made too. Fair accuracy, but we all know it's not intended for competition.
Things I would have changed:It's a detail, of course, but packaging as a toy in a plastic clamshell cheapens the first impression. This gun is worth a decent box (such as was used for other Dan Wesson guns I purchased earlier).

Dermot Drummy is confident our Under-21s can maintain their current form and make it three straight victories when we take on Norwich City at the Electrical Services Stadium tonight, a game which can be seen live on Chelsea TV.
The young Blues started the season in disappointing fashion, losing 4-2 at home to Tottenham Hotspur, but since then have bounced back impressively.
A 4-1 away win at Southampton was followed by the 5-1 victory against Leicester City at Stamford Bridge, and Drummy has been pleased with the reaction of his players.
'The only thing that was poor against Tottenham was that we let them play and stop our game, and you have to give credit to them to a point, but to win the next two games without what I would call our senior players was pleasing,' he tells the official Chelsea website.
'The dynamics of the team are working how I want them to be. I want the players to be hungry and to have to fight for their places; I don't want anybody to just feel like they can get into the team because of their status.'
Our attacking play over the course of the last two matches has been particularly impressive, with Islam Feruz and Isaiah Brown providing a real threat in the final third, aided in no small part by the creativity of players such as Lewis Baker, Jeremie Boga and John Swift in midfield.
Drummy expects us to create opportunities against the Canaries once again, but feels it shouldn't be to the detriment of our defensive responsibilities.
'I think we'll always score goals because of the way we play and the quality of players we have,' he explains. 'But when teams sit off us we need to break them down without leaving ourselves too open, which we did against Leicester.
'We are adventurous and we do play creative football, but looking at the bigger picture, there are times when we need to be able to lock the game up.'
While we will undoubtedly approach the game in positive spirits, the visitors are more than capable of posing their own threat.
The Norwich academy got the better of our Under-18s over two legs in the FA Youth Cup final last season, but Drummy, while expecting a tough encounter, believes his side can benefit from having spent the international break training with the first team.
'Norwich are a decent academy, which we saw in last season's Youth Cup,' he says. 'They like to counter because they've got the quick Murphy twins (Jake and Josh), but we've got enough to unlock the door.
'I think it could be crucial to get a goal to open them up and then if they come out and play we can hurt them even more.
'The boys, after training with the first team, have been able to go away and start preparing for what will be a tough game against Norwich, and we want to put in a winning performance.'
Tickets for the game, which kicks off at 7.05pm, are available on arrival at the stadium, priced £3 for adults and £1 for juniors and seniors, with Chelsea and Aldershot season ticket holders gaining free entry on production of their season tickets.
Chelsea TV's coverage of the match begins at 7pm. Click here for more details.

Don't use Beautifly. I just did this analysis because no one else would. Or you can use it on NU teams; 90 Special Attack isn't that bad. Beautifly is begging for Sleep Powder, damn Nintendo.
Bug-types tend to suck and Beautifly is no exception-actually, it's the third worst Bug-type Pokemon after Shuckle and Beautifly's cousin Dustox. Stun Spore something and, if you aren't dead, use Substitute until your opponent switches or is fully paralyzed or you can't use it anymore. If your opponent switches, Stun Spore the next Pokemon; otherwise, attack. This set dies pretty easily but it's the best thing Beautifly can do.
Other Options
Shadow Ball can be useful for surprising Ghost-types maybe; Thief is also an option because stealing an item is more or less the best thing Beautifly can do. Silver Wind and Aerial Ace are options over Hidden Power Bug and Hidden Power Flying respectively.
Just max out Beautifly's Attack or Special Attack and Speed and give it a Timid or Jolly nature because it absolutely won't last long.
Checks and Counters
Basically every move with more than 60 Base Power not named Earthquake OHKOes Beautifly. You'll want to hit it first because it will Stun Spore you. If you have a Guts user, just switch it in.

Titled "Working Women — Meeting the Challenges of the 21st Century," Chavez's presentation is set for 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 4, in the Derryberry Auditorium.
She was honored by the Library of Congress in 2000 as a "Living Legend" for her contributions to America's cultural and historical legacy, and in 2001, she was President George W. Bush's nominee for Secretary of Labor but chose to withdraw from the running.
Sponsored by the TTU Women's Center, the Chavez presentation is a Center Stage event that is free and open to the public.
Other Women's History Month events on campus include:
• A TTU Women's History display from March 3 to 7 in the showcase outside the Joan Derryberry Art Gallery in the Roaden University Center, and a coinciding panel discussion set for 11 a.m. on Thursday, March 6, in the building's Executive Dining Room.
"The program will celebrate the founding of the TTU Commission on the Status of Women and the founding of the campus Women's Center," said Gretta Stanger, interim chairperson of sociology and philosophy and center director.
Among the other panelists will be former TTU President Angelo Volpe and Sue Ellen Odom-Burduck, who chaired the Commission on the Status of Women when its data led to a recommendation for the creation of the Women's Center.
Pictures from the early days of the campus organizations will be on display throughout the hour-long discussion.
• A Sexual Assault Awareness Display will be exhibited in the RUC showcase from March 24 to 28.
For more information about any of these and other possible Women's History Month events, call the university Women's Center at 931/372-3850.

TRAVIS COUNTY -- Due to a potential safety threat at Westlake High School, the campus will be on lockdown Friday.
A threat was made against the school and staff Thursday.
All of the doors into Westlake High were locked until 8 a.m. Friday, at which time students were allowed inside to prepare for the start of school at 8:40 a.m.
The superintendent and principal sent a letter home to parents. It did not say exactly what type of threat was made, but it did state that there have been similar situations at schools around the state lately.
"We had a student notify a Westlake administrator yesterday that he saw some graffiti in a bathroom stall. It was enough of a concern where we wanted to make sure that parents were alerted," said Eanes ISD spokesperson Claudia McWhorter Friday.
Police officers started patrols at the school Thursday night and will continue to keep a close eye on the school Friday.
There will also be more adults on campus to help keep students safe.
Students who are members of the band or athletes who needed to access the school before 8 a.m. were allowed in through monitored doors.
Every classroom and area of the campus was searched, according to school officials. Nothing unusual was found. The school will operate as normal, except for the increased security.
Friday Principal John Carter sent another update to parents that said in part, "Providing a safe environment for students is always a priority. We have heard from some of you who have concerns about the situation. Please know that we are doing everything we can to ensure the safety of our students and staff and that we are following our emergency plans, working with law enforcement, and staying vigilant."

An oral history of The Play: Looking back on wild finish 30 years later
Story Highlights
In 1982, Stanford and Cal staged one of most memorable finishes in sports history
A five-lateral kickoff return with the Stanford band on field resulted in a touchdown
Key participants reflected on The Play in oral history written by a member of band
|Where are they now?
I never bought a videotape of the Play. On YouTube, 30 years later, the action is so grainy and jumpy and the late-afternoon light so dim that it's hard to pick myself out among the red coats madly scrambling on the fake turf in the south end zone of Cal's Memorial Stadium. But I was there on Nov. 20, 1982, when the Bears made their astonishing five-lateral kickoff return through the Cardinal defense and the Stanford band to win that year's Big Game. Somewhere in the confused throng, I was clutching my alto sax and wearing one of the white hard hats the band staff had handed out that morning to protect us from the frozen oranges and grapefruits that Cal students gleefully hurled at us during our pregame and halftime shows. And we thought flying fruit would be the biggest hazard we'd face that day.
Much about college football has changed since that bizarre afternoon, including the introduction of instant replay, the proliferation of projectile-detecting backpack searches and the influence of television money, which has forced this year's Big Game out of its traditional late-November date and into an unfamiliar Oct. 20 slot. But the Play endures -- on YouTube, on Top 10 Greatest Moments in Sports countdowns, in those videos Cal used to sell at $100 a pop and in the memories of the people who were there. To mark the Play's 30th anniversary, I reminisced with some of the key participants about what is still the craziest play in college football history, and what it all means three decades later.
Cal had led 10-0 at the half thanks in part to a spectacular diving end zone catch by Mariet Ford. Stanford had answered in the third quarter with two touchdown passes from John Elway to Vince White. Early in the fourth, Wes Howell made another flying end zone grab to put Cal up 19-14. A field goal by Stanford's Mark Harmon with 5:21 to go had closed the gap to 19-17. Then, in the final minute, Stanford's last possession was sputtering badly. Facing 4th-and-17 on the 13 yard-line with 53 seconds to go, Elway made what would have been the play of the game: He fired a pass over the middle to Emile Harry for a 29-yard gain, sparking a drive that put the Cardinal in range for a game-winning field goal. It looked like Elway, already a legend on the Farm, would finally get to play in a bowl game. (And so would the band.) In fact, a contingent from the Hall of Fame Bowl was in the press box, ready to make an offer if the Cardinal, then 5-5, won. Harmon nailed the field goal -- his first and only game-winner in his college career -- to give Stanford a 20-19 lead. There were four seconds left on the clock. What could possibly go wrong?
MARK HARMON (Stanford kicker): Before that field goal, I felt a nervousness I had never felt before. My brain was going crazy. But as soon as I got on the field, I felt calm. I don't remember a whole lot about the field goal itself ... you kind of see the snap and then it's, ba-boom! There's not much to think about but it's good, and we won! That's what I was thinking. We won the game, and if we have to kick off, we still won the game. My instructions for the kickoff -- I can't remember who gave them -- was squib the ball.
RICHARD RODGERS (Cal junior defensive back): With all the huge plays on both sides and all the ups and downs, that Big Game was probably the most emotional game I've ever been a part of. After Stanford's field goal, I had this really strong feeling: it's not over. In the huddle I said, Don't fall with the ball.
KEVIN MOEN (Cal senior defensive back): The coaches had called in our "hands" team. I was a former high school option quarterback, and so was Richard. And in our Sunday practices that year, Coach Kapp had introduced "Grabasso" or Grab-ass, which is basically a bunch of guys moving the ball around however you could move it. The Play would have a similar sense to it. But at that moment, our only strategy was Richard telling guys, don't let the ball die. When it was kicked to me, my first thought was, I'm going to score. I started running to the right. I look up and there were three or four Stanford guys. I have no idea why I looked to the left sidelines, and I have no idea why Richard was standing there waving to me. I just happened to see him and say, I've got nowhere to go -- here!
RODGERS: When I got the ball, I saw Stanford players coming at me so I immediately pitched the ball to Dwight Garner. Being the freshman he was, he just kept running. So I got behind him and yelled at him to pitch the ball back. When I got the ball a second time, I was confused, because I could see Stanford players coming on the field and then running off it.
KELLI ANDERSON: That's because most people there, including some of your own teammates and at least one ref who seemed to signal the play dead, thought Garner's knee was down before he pitched it.
RODGERS: He pitched it to me before he went down. I pretty much had the best seat in the house to see that. I ran as far as I could, then I lateraled it to Mariet Ford.
JOE STARKEY (Cal's play-by-play announcer for KGO radio): As Garner got tackled, I was ready to say, "They tried to do a couple of laterals but Garner got tackled and it's over ..." But as Garner's knee went down, the ball flew out and they kept it going. Apparently everybody else in the building thought the game was over, too. That's when several Cal players started walking on the field off their sidelines, and the Stanford Band decided to go out on the field. It was late afternoon in late November, Cal had no lights, so there were all sorts of things that were making it almost impossible to figure out what in god's name was going on down there.
PAUL WIGGIN (Stanford coach): What could I see? I saw the band, I saw our team, I saw a lateral, I saw a flag go down, I saw a guy pick up a flag, I saw all kinds of things. It was basically a 10-second nightmare.
MIKE DOTTERER (Stanford running back): From the sidelines we couldn't see Garner go down on the other side of the field, but there was an official who had his arms up like the play is over with. I think we saw that and thought, okay, someone tackled someone and all this stuff still going on is make-believe.
MOEN: Once Richard lateraled it to Mariet, the momentum of what we were doing kind of took hold. Okay, let's keep lateraling it and moving down the field that way. To me the most spectacular part of the Play was Mariet diving to take out a couple of Stanford guys and throwing it over his head in a no-look pass to me. When I got the ball the last time, I had a sense the band was on the field, but my thought was, we've kind of run our luck with this thing, I better get in the end zone. So I put my head down and started to weave through the band.
GARY ROBINSON (Assistant Stanford band manager who would take over as manager, as per tradition, immediately after the Big Game): The band had gathered behind the end zone to play a postgame concert. When I saw the guy's knee go down, I ran out on the field in celebration, along with a bunch of other people. It was totally spontaneous -- we were rushing the field. I had probably made it as far as the 20-yard line and was facing the stands when I felt this whoosh behind me. It was the Cal guy [Moen]. I thought, What's he doing? What a futile effort!
GARY TYRRELL (Stanford trombone player): I didn't run out on the field. I didn't even realize until I saw the film later that I had backed into the end zone. I'm not very tall and everyone was milling around, so I couldn't see the field. I was watching the scoreboard and the clock.
ANDERSON: I think I was also deep in the end zone. When the clock hit zero, I thought, Yay! Road trip to Birmingham! Then something really eerie happened. At the Big Game parade in San Francisco the night before, a car had driven through the band, sending the people in front of me scattering. At that moment on the field, it was the same thing -- people in red coats in front of me turning around and running for their lives. Then this guy in a blue jersey came barreling through the crowd -- and he had the ball.
TYRRELL: I saw him right before he hit me. I didn't realize how he had gotten there, so I didn't know it was a touchdown. I had seen cameramen get run over when a player gets run out of bounds, and that's what I thought had happened to me. So I just got up. It got really quiet. Then the cannon went off and the scoreboard changed, and it got really loud.

Educational Philosophy:
I think of myself as a true constructivist, believing that each learner must interact with or "construct" new information for themselves before real learning can take place. I also believe there are often many diverse paths leading to the same agreed upon understanding.
Teaching for Park is professionally fun for me! I teach this class (and others) face to face, on the Park Home campus. I also teach other online courses for Park.
In addition, I am licensed as a professional counselor and work as a high school counselor the Turner school district in Kansas City, Kansas.
Learning Outcomes: Core Learning Outcomes
Academic Honesty:Academic integrity is the foundation of the academic community. Because each student has the primary responsibility for being academically honest, students are advised to read and understand all sections of this policy relating to standards of conduct and academic life. Park University 2007-2008 Graduate Catalog Page 24-26
Plagiarism involves the appropriation of another person's ideas, interpretation, words (even a few), data, statements, illustration or creative work and their presentation as one's own. An offense against plagiarism constitutes a serious academic misconduct. Although offenses against academic integrity can manifest themselves in various ways, the most common forms of offenses are plagiarism and cheating. Plagiarism goes beyond the copying of an entire article. It may include, but is not limited to: copying a section of an article or a chapter from a book, reproduction of an art work, illustration, cartoon, photograph and the like and passing them off as one's own. Copying from the Internet is no less serious an offense than copying from a book or printed article, even when the material is not copyrighted.
Plagiarism also includes borrowing ideas and phrases from, or paraphrasing, someone else's work, published or unpublished, without acknowledging and documenting the source. Acknowledging and documenting the source of an idea or phrase, at the point where it is utilized, is necessary even when the idea or phrase is taken from a speech or conversation with another person.
Park University 2007-2008 Graduate Catalog Page 24-26
Attendance Policy:
Professors are required to maintain attendance records and report absences. Excused absences can be granted by the instructor, for medical reasons, school sponsored activities, and employment-related demands, including temporary duty. Students are responsible for any missed work. Absences in excess of four (4) class periods, in a 16-week semester (or 2, in an 8-week term) will be reported to the Director of the individual graduate program, or to the Dean, for appropriate action. Students with such a record of absences, without an approved excuse, may be administratively withdrawn from the class and notified by mail that an "F" will be recorded, unless the student initiates official withdrawal from the class(es).Park University 2007-2008 Graduate Catalog Page 28
Disability Guidelines:Park University is committed to meeting the needs of all students that meet the criteria for special assistance. These guidelines are designed to supply directions to students concerning the information necessary to accomplish this goal. It is Park University's policy to comply fully with federal and state law, including Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, regarding students with disabilities. In the case of any inconsistency between these guidelines and federal and/or state law, the provisions of the law will apply. Additional information concerning Park University's policies and procedures related to disability can be found on the Park University web page: http://www.park.edu/disability .

probably a stupid question but im a noob. how skinny are the skinny guy ones? i mean i sometimes wear girls jeans @.@ is there a brand that makes jeans like n&f but are skinnier?
SG's are skinny... But nowhere near "girl jean" skinny.
As for some quality selvage denim in THAT tight of a fit, I don't really know where to point you. I'd like a pair skinnier than my skinny guys... But not on some girl jean shit.

Release Date: 2008 |
Album Rating: 3.0Sorry if the review is kind of lacking. Kept re-writing it and couldn't make it work so I kept it ridiculously simple. Not in the greatest of moods or mindsets right now but if there are any glaring issues let me know.
I dislike The Game because of his consistent name dropping.
still, good review.
Album Rating: 3.0His name dropping hits new heights on this. It'd be a fun drinking came to count how many times he says "Scarface", "Pac", "Biggie" and "Phantom".
In that case, I will avoid this like a Metro Station concert.
the game is tight.
The Game is a joke.
Album Rating: 3.0How so?
it doesn't have a "secret" poltical agenda.
Heard "My Life" in my car before plugging in my pod and thought it was really good...probably won't check this out but that song is definitely a winner...
Album Rating: 3.0It's worth checking out. There are some really strong songs.
Album Rating: 3.0I'll see if I can beef it up later. I had originally said more about stand-outs but I always ended up in some rut where I'd go "from x to y to z". Until I beef it up: My Life, Angel, LAX Files, Bulletproof Diaries and Letter To The King are all worth checking out. Game's Pain is okay, as are Cali Sunshine and Dope Boys. Everything else is kind of iffy. This Message Edited On 08.27.08
Let's start with their message. What do they sing about?
Album Rating: 3.0What
why do you want to start this
Album Rating: 3.0Those kids look so sad
Same problem as Doctor's Advocate.
Album Rating: 3.0Good reivew, alright album. I was hoping for better, but I honestly wasn't expecting better. First 5 or 6 tracks are really good though.
Bullshit mainstream rap that speaks nothing of validity.
But good review you writer, you!
Hate It Or Love It was a really good track, but I haven't bothered to look into this guy from there. Guess from this review I should just download the best tracks and leave it at that.
Nice stuff, Cocaine.
"and even name drops artists featured on the album on songs on which they do not appear"
That made me chuckle...

Customer Raves & Reviews
Amazing Save the Dates!
Hawaiian Turtle Save the Date Magnets I was incredibly impressed with my order of Save the Dates from Magnetstreet. My sister ordered hers through Magnetstreet, I did the same, and I will make sure that anyone else I know also does so. They deliver quality and they do so in a very timely manner. Couldn't be happier!!
We loved our wedding invites!
Hawaiian Turtle Rectangle Invitations Our wedding invites and rsvp's were beautiful and great quality.
Hawaiian Sea Turtle Save the Date Cards I feel so happy with my purchase. I loved everything about it. Designing the cards was so easy, and they arrived beautifully in a neat box! I'm so excited by how they turned out!
A great choice!
Hawaiian Sea Turtle Save the Date Magnets We are so happy we chose to go with save the date magnets. Our guests love them too because they are adorable but also useful. Since you can hang them on your fridge our guests are less likely to loose them which is great because we sent them out two years before the wedding as a reminder for people to start saving since the wedding is in Hawaii. The magnet looked great and we received them very quickly. I also loved how they came with their own envelopes.
Lovely magnet
Hawaiian Sea Turtle Save the Date Magnets I love these sea turtle magnets. I bought them for my Hawaiian wedding and I think everyone will love them. For the price and speed I was impressed at the quality of the magnet.

"It's important to note that cash advances begin accruing interest on the first day they're taken out, unlike regular purchases, which give you a grace period of 20 days," Sekar says. "The instant accrual, as well as the typical 3 to 5 percent cash advance fee, makes these loans particularly expensive."
After 90 days, if their account is current, with no delinquencies, borrowers can get the cap on cash advances lifted to $150. But those same interest accrual policies apply.

President Obama said Tuesday that he will decide whether to approve or deny a permit for a controversial 1,700-mile Canadian oil pipeline, rather than delegating the decision to the State Department.
The proposal by the firm TransCanada to ship crude extracted from a region in Alberta called the "oil sands" to Gulf Coast refineries has become a charged political issue for the White House. Labor unions and business groups argue that it would create thousands of jobs in the midst of an economic downturn. Environmentalists — who plan to ring the White House in a protest on Sunday — say the extraction of the oil will accelerate global warming and the pipeline itself could spill, polluting waterways and causing severe environmental harm.

Tag Archives: photography
I am very proud of this shot which I took back in 2011, compositionally I took 4 subtly different shots of this boat and then selected this shot (no cropping). Recently I had the opportunity to take some shots in to the camera club and receive some critique from fellow members – all were complimentary on the composition and light but one person suggested the sky lacked sufficient contrast to compete with the lovely reflection. Well that was me off in to the archives to pull the RAW file and here we are. Now I think this pops whereas previously it was a nice shot – it is now on sale and getting growing interest – have a lovely week chaps.
Arisaig Row Boat
Well what can I say – I know it's a cheesy shot but hey Instagram liked it loads :-) so I have high hopes of the WordPress community. I will work hard to catch up with all your blogs over the coming weeks but pace of work is dictating my blogging activity. Anyway this is classic postcard Scotland – I'll be honest I have never seen Torridon basking in such wicked sunshine. That said although this is a little chocolate box for me I hope that I have conveyed the cold wind in the choppy sea – and more importantly guys the clocks are about to change which means spending lots of time outdoors :-)
Postcard from Torridon
This was very unusual from a weather point of view the sun was almost completely unimpeded by clouds – none of the traditional standing around with the shot set up waiting for the elusive light. The sun shone all day but it was blowing around 25 Kt. and damn cold but when you are rewarded with this quality of view quiet frankly I didn't care. Normally I am happy with one shot from a trip like this but I am hopeful I may have 4 or 5 – keep watching
Beinn Alligin from Loch Torridon
This shot did rather well on Instagram last week so I was interested if it was purely down to the fact that I was viewing it on a small mobile phone screen and wondered if it would survive the greater test of a blogpost. I exported the image to my computer levelled the horizon and cropped it to the same shape as I posted it on IG and that was it. The colour is pretty good – texture is visible in the sand ripples out to about 25m and the town is about 1.5 miles back down the beach so I wasn't surprised that it struggled with the shadow detail in the town. All in all, it is a pretty faithful reproduction of a perfect day unfortunately we had the dog so I didn't have the DSLR to provide a comparison shot, thought's?
Lossiemouth Landscape by iPhone 5S
As I work through my back catalogue deciding what can used for stock and what can be added to my portfolio
as well as reviewing and removing substandard work. The process challenges me to review how I have edited
in the past particularly as my knowledge of the software grows. This is an image I don't think I have published
previously - but I re cropped loosing a large chunk from the bottom brought the exposure down by 1/2 stop
and reduced the vibrance. The result is for me is a more comfortable and natural image. I hope you agree :-)

Hand painted oil reproduction of Botticelli's Cestello Annunciation
Click here to see larger image.
In Sandro Botticelli's Cestello Annunciation the artist chose to depict the moment just after the Archangel Gabriel's arrival when he announces to the Virgin Mary that the Holy Ghost will soon pay her a visit as related in Luke's gospel. Botticelli has structured the room using Brunelleschi's perspective. Commissioned in 1489, Botticelli's Annunciation was painted for the Florentine convent of Cestello (now Santa Maria Maddalena de'Pazzi) in Borgo Pinti.
Botticelli's perspective take the viewer through the room along perspective lines of the floor tiles to a point in the far distant landscape. The structured room setting with its geometric lines contrasts with the figures painted in a lively manner with vibrant, flowing draperies.
Gabriel kneels before Mary with an open mouth indicating the flow of his words which are inscribed beneath him in Latin on the orginal frame of the painting.

The Android Scripting Environment (ASE) brings scripting languages to Android by allowing you to edit and execute scripts and interactive interpreters directly on the Android device. These scripts have access to many of the APIs available to full-fledged Android applications, but with a greatly simplified interface that makes it easy to handle intents, start activities, make phone calls, send text messages, scan bar codes, poll location and sensor data, use text-to-speech, and more. Scripts can be run interactively in a terminal, started as a long running service, or started via Locale. Python, Perl, JRuby, Lua, BeanShell, and Bourne shell are currently supported.
metagloss is an annotation-centric Android library for reducing boilerplate code. Relying on run-time parsing and compile-time code generation, metagloss provides facilities for mapping XML and databases to data objects, dealing with preference screens and working with DB queries.
Epublib is a Java library for managing epub files. It is capable of reading and writing epub files programmatically and from the command-line tool. Epublib consists of two parts: the core and tools. The core runs both on Android and a standard JVM. Tools require a standard Java environment. Other features include a builtin Swing-based viewer and comprehensive coverage of the epub standard, supporting the spine, the table of contents, and the guide. The API is designed to be as simple as possible, while at the same time making complex things possible too.
CRest (Client REST) is a lightweight library that simplifies the integration of third party RESTful services into Java applications. CRest is mainly annotation-driven, allowing the developer to focus on the essential aspects of the integration of a REST service, such as the definition of the Java interface that maps the remote REST methods and the data model the interface will deal with. The rest is achieved by annotating a plain Java interface with the relevant information such as the service end-point, the desired timeouts, URL formats, etc. CRest will handle everything else, including HTTP request generation, auto marshalling of the response, and more.
DrugList is an Android application for scheduling drug prescriptions. The prescription names are entered into a database, along with the time they are taken. When you exit that activity with the "Save and Exit" button, the time and date for the next medication to be taken is computed, and a system alarm is set. When that alarm fires, you see a ListView with only the drugs due at that time.
