Malta: Focus on Moviment ghall-Ambjent
an interview with martin galea de giovanni, agriculture campaigner
"Moviment ghall-Ambjent, FoE Malta, formerly 'Zghazagh ghall-Ambjent', has been active in the environmental field since 1985. The group was first set up as an umbrella organization with representatives from various youth and environmental groups, but soon developed into a committee of activists.
"This newly formed organization gained popularity and increased media coverage following an incident in November 1985 when members of the group were attacked during a protest against developments on the beaches and in the countryside. Since then a series of eye catching activities have been organized in order to inform the public of environmental threats. In 1991, Moviment ghall-Ambjent became part of FoE International.
"Joining FoE International has enabled us to share environmental expertise and experience with other members of the network. We are also active in the MedNet subgroup of FoE and have recently taken part in some very interesting research on local agro-biodiversity. Together with other Mediterranean partners we will soon use this research to increase environmental awareness amongst local communities.
"Foe Malta has concentrated its energies on the issues of land use, energy, pollution and waste. The group has been successful in opposing many major developments that threatened to damage Malta's countryside and coast.
"For the past two years I have been an active member of FoE Malta. During this time I have been responsible for the issues relating to agriculture, biodiversity and pollution. My lifelong interest in astronomy has made me conscious of how precious our little planet is. This planet is rare, perhaps unique, in being a living planet. The imprint of life is everywhere; including the air we breath, which has acquired its rich oxygen content as a result of millions of years of acclivity by living organisms. Yet, what has been built up over this huge timescale is now being destroyed in a matter of years by humans driven by the motivation of profit.
"Just as our planet forms only a tiny part of the universe, Malta, as a small island nation, forms only a tiny part of our planet. However with a population of 382,000 (1990) it is one of the most densely populated nations in the world. This has tremendous effects and places immense pressure on the Maltese natural environment.
Over the last 50 years, large tracts of countryside have been sacrificed for tourism and housing developments. Agricultural land is scarce and the country only grows enough food to feed 17 percent of the population.
"FoE Malta has been busy battling one golf course proposal after another, most of them planned for areas of agricultural importance or scenic beauty. Developers have been known to threaten farmers in order to persuade them to sell their agricultural land and the government has relied on decisions made by planning bodies with heavy input from the tourism industry and no participation by environmentalists.
"One current proposal is to construct an 18-hole golf course, country club and luxury hotel on prime agricultural land that has been farmed for hundreds of years and provides 98 farmers with their livelihoods.
"The golf course is an environmental nightmare: it will infringe the EU's Habitats Directive and will eventually consume as much water as 11,000 Maltese people. To date, Malta's Department of Agriculture has remained silent about the project. The coalition to stop the golf course - campaigning under the motto "Agriculture, Not Golf" - is broad, encompassing some 1,000 farmers as well as politicians, environmentalists and students.
"Another major issue that is of great importance to Malta is waste and recycling. Unfortunately, local authorities have previously neglected this problem and as a result we have landfill of mountainous proportions.
"Recently FoE Malta played a major role in influencing the outcome of 'A Solid Waste Management Strategy for the Maltese Islands'. We argued for a system of waste separation at source and opposed use of incineration as a way of dealing with waste. We were able to show that proponents of incineration were basing their claims on false assumptions. As a result, incineration was omitted as an option (at least for the next eight years). I consider this to be a big victory for FoE Malta.
"Although local environmentalists have been active for more than 20 years trying to protect the Maltese environment, it is only recently that the general public and the authorities have started to understand the importance of such issues. These environmental issues are now featuring much more prominently in political agendas. Whilst we still have much to do I am of an optimistic nature and I think that things are moving, albeit rather slowly, in the right direction. This is better than in the past decades ..."

Same problem here...
I'm using Entourage for sending mail. I THINK this has resolved it:
(options may change depending on program)
Entourage>Preferences - click on Mail & News Preferences/Compose
In the drop down menu change the Encode for: choice from "any computer" (AppleDouble) to "Windows MIME/Base64" This seems to have resolved my issue (although I only have a couple students using a Mac - so I'm not sure yet if it will affect them)
I think I have the same problem. PDF files created on a Mac are not readable by windows systems.
This is a Mac problem but I'd still like to know if there is a solution.
I tried converting the pdf document into something else, e.g. ps or even another pdf, using the unix command "convert XXX.pdf YYY.pdf"
This gives the following error message:
**** This file had errors that were repaired or ignored.
**** The file was produced by:
**** >>>> Mac OS X 10.5.8 Quartz PDFContext <<<<
**** Please notify the author of the software that produced this
**** file that it does not conform to Adobe's published PDF
**** specification.
How can I fix this?
I also tried submitting this file to the Adobe online convert service, and received an email with this message:
While processing your job 4AFAACC9-04BE-28A929 (filename.pdf), the converter encountered the following error situation:
Your PDF document already contains renderable text.
Please try to resubmit your job if indicated in the above message.
We hope you enjoy using this service! The Create Adobe PDF Online Team
The original file reads perfectly under preview, but if I send it to a windows machine, the text is replaced by little circles.
So here's my immediate question: Given that I have a file that's fine when read with Preview or Adobe Reader 8.1.7 on a Mac -- how can I make sure it's also readable by a windows adobe reader?
You told us all about the Mac, but what about the PC? It is current with its version of Adobe Reader? Are they even using Adobe Reader?
This problem has been resolved for me for several months now... but not sure which solution fixed it... (I know... no help there). I did do all the corrections listed here. But one solution was to make sure you have the most current version of Reader. And NOT but doing a software update. I haven't looked into WHY but it seems like they're still patching Ver. 8 even though Ver 9 is out. So my computer never downloaded version 9 - and the same was true for the PC's I was working with. All seems to be working great now though.
The problem is that I cannot control what version of Adobe the person is using who I'm sending the file to. This has been hugely embarrassing to me as I've been sending out files with my work. Some of the recipients were kind enough to point out that the file seems corrupted, others simply put me on a "waste of time" list.
I've tried it on my windows machine, and using Acrobat Reader 8 and Acrobat professional 7.0. The text appears as little circles and the file is not readable.
On the Mac, I can reproduce the problem, too.
Adobe Illustrator (version CS) cannot read the file. Warnings are:
The font Univers-BlackExt is missing. Affected text will be displayed using a substitute font.
The font Univers-BoldExt is missing. Affected text will be displayed using a substitute font.
The font Univers-Condensed is missing. Affected text will be displayed using a substitute font.
The font Univers-Extended is missing. Affected text will be displayed using a substitute font.
The font Univers-ExtraBlackExt is missing. Affected text will be displayed using a substitute font.
The font Univers-Oblique is missing. Affected text will be displayed using a substitute font.
To preserve appearance, some text has been outlined.
Acrobat 6.0.2 Professional cannot read it on the Mac
Acrobat Reader 8.1.7 on Mac has no problems with it. It displays perfectly, just like under Preview.
But this is somewhat beside the point. A PDF file should be portable, so once I have one there should be a way to make sure it can be read by all Adobe products that can read PDF. How can I make sure?
Given that I can see everything perfectly on my Mac (e.g. using Reader 8.1.7), how can I ensure the same can be seen by any other user on any system reading a PDF file? I guess that this has to do with your (Adobe's) PDF specifications. How can I "enforce" those?
Many thanks!

Good mix of age groups. Staff weren't very welcoming at first but were okay in the end. Cool place really. But just in the middle of no where really. Literally in the suburbs with a $10 cab ride to Ybor and the bars.

First impression was that there was a dead rat and some aging weirdo rock guy staring at us who wasn't even staying there or working there when we arrived. But it turned out good. No issues w anyone or anything. I was about to leave though when I saw the dead rat. Hadn't ever seen that before at a hostel.

For a cost of up to $60, consumers can prevent identity thieves from opening accounts in their names by "freezing" their credit reports.
These credit freezes can be a great tool for protecting yourself against identity theft, experts say, but they're not for everyone.
Credit freezes, also known as security freezes, place a lock on access to a borrower's credit report. With a credit freeze in place, lenders and other companies cannot view the borrower's credit. As a result, freezes prevent the consumer from gaining access to new loans, such as credit cards and mortgages, but they also keep fraudsters from opening new accounts in that person's name. These freezes can subsequently be lifted temporarily or permanently by consumers, sometimes also for a price. However, in many states, you can avoid paying any fees at all by providing proof -- a police report, for example -- that you've already been a victim of fraud. (See CreditCard.com's chart.)
"I think for anyone who is extremely concerned about the prospect of identity theft, there is no better tool than a credit freeze," says Joe Ridout, consumer services manager with the nonprofit consumer rights group Consumer Action. That's especially true for the elderly, who may already have all the credit they need but still remain susceptible to fraud.
Ironically, those who sell credit freezes don't like them much. "Freezing your credit file is an extreme step that removes you from the credit marketplace," says Rod Griffin, director of public education with the credit bureau Experian. "It is still very important to understand that freezing your credit file will not prevent identity theft, although it is often misrepresented in that way," Griffin says. Freezes, for example, don't prevent fraudsters from accessing an existing card account, if they already have the necessary information. In place of credit freezes, the credit reporting industry typically promotes credit monitoring services, which bureaus and banks sell to their customers, or fraud alerts, which are available for free from the credit bureaus and do not block access to credit reports.
The basics of credit freezes
Credit freezes go further than either credit monitoring or alerts, however, by making credit reports inaccessible to lenders and others who might have an interest in viewing a consumer's credit history. Available from each of the three major credit bureaus, the credit freeze comes at a price -- anywhere from free to $20 per bureau, with the cost determined by each individual state's laws -- but will remain in place indefinitely, provided the consumer doesn't remove the freeze.
That's different from other fraud prevention tools. Critics of fraud alerts say even when they are in place, not all lenders take the step of notifying a borrower about credit inquiries. They also argue that credit monitoring -- which must be renewed every year or so -- only lets borrowers know that fraud may have taken place. But by then, it's already too late.
Consumer advocates say that credit freezes typically cost less than other options and are even free for some consumers. "A credit freeze is both cheaper and far more effective than credit monitoring," says Ridout. He says that although credit monitoring services have millions of subscribers, they remain an "unambiguous waste of money." Only a small one-time fee -- often $10 to $20 -- is required to place a credit freeze at each of the three bureaus, while credit monitoring can cost the consumer $120 or more each year, says Paul Stephens, director of policy and advocacy with the nonprofit Privacy Rights Clearinghouse.
For many consumers, "it would be much more economical to obtain a security freeze and make a one-time payment, which would be the case for most people, and then be done with it," he says.
Credit freezes are also becoming easier to use. "We have been able to make significant improvements in the credit file freezing process since it was first instituted several years ago. In most instances, freezes can be lifted via the Internet or telephone in a matter of minutes," says Experian's Griffin. (See "The cost of a credit freeze" on this page for more information.)
So who's the best fit for a credit freeze? "The advantages of a credit freeze rise with age," says Ridout. That's because younger consumers tend to frequently apply for credit cards, mortgages and new jobs, while senior citizens have less need for credit but more reason to be cautious. "As people get older, it's been shown that the time necessary to recover from identity theft tends to go up," Stephens says. Plus, there comes a time when getting approved for more credit just isn't necessary. "At a certain point in life, you may have all the credit you need," Ridout says.
People involved in nasty divorcesmay also want to consider freezing their credit, since their spouse may have all the information (name, Social Security number, etc.) needed to open new accounts in their identity, says Stephens.
One credit freeze does not fit all
Unfortunately, the steps required to freeze credit aren't always clear. With no federal credit freeze law in place, consumers are left to navigate a patchwork of state laws. Consumer advocates acknowledge that this can present a challenge. "There really is no uniformity in terms of the costs and time frames for both placing and lifting credit freezes. You do find a tremendous difference from state to state," Stephens says. Some states don't even have credit freeze laws. According to advocacy group Consumers Union, 47 states and the District of Columbia have enacted laws requiring credit bureaus to allow credit freezes. (Credit freezes are offered voluntarily by the bureaus in the three remaining states -- Alabama, Michigan and Missouri.)
The price can also vary. The cost to put a freeze in place ranges from free (for ID theft victims or senior citizens) in some states to $20 per freeze in Delaware, while the cost of unfreezing runs from free to $18. Since it's necessary to line up freezes with all three major credit reporting bureaus -- Experian, Equifax and TransUnion -- for complete protection, the cost for a freeze needs to be multiplied by three.
Credit freezes may cause some other headaches for consumers, including:
- No guarantee of protection. Freezes don't guarantee the consumer won't be victimized by fraudsters who access existing accounts or passwords, for example. "One thing the credit freeze won't do is prevent continued activity by an identity thief on an account they've already assumed," says Consumer Action's Ridout. Additionally, other types of fraud, such as employment fraud, insurance fraud and online auction fraud, aren't prevented, Griffin explains. "None of these identity frauds involve a credit report, so would not be prevented by a credit file freeze," he says.
- Not all access is frozen. Not everyone will be blocked from viewing a frozen credit report. For example, "businesses with which you have an existing relationship can still access your credit history as part of their portfolio management programs," Griffin says.
- PIN number required. To remove the freeze on your credit, you need to remember the PIN number associated with the freeze. "When it's months or years later, the consumer might not have the PIN number with them," says J. Craig Shearman, vice president of government affairs with the National Retail Federation, which advocates for the retail industry.
- More legwork. "Unlike a fraud alert, which can be placed on all three of your credit reports with one call to any one of the three nationwide credit reporting companies, you will need to contact each separately to establish a security freeze and receive your unique PIN number," says Steve Katz, spokesman for credit bureau TransUnion.
- Difficulty opening new accounts. "A frozen credit file can create substantial inconvenience and difficulty for consumers who will be applying for credit or other services, such as cellular telephone service," says Griffin. That's because the company may have to then contact the borrower, requesting removal of the credit freeze. In some cases, frozen credit could prevent or delay you from landing a job when the employer performs a background check that includes checking your credit report.
- Long wait for credit to unfreeze. "One of the biggest problems with a credit freeze is it takes a lot longer to thaw credit than it does to freeze it," says the NRF's Shearman. That could be a problem if you need credit in a hurry, such as a store credit card for an unexpected appliance purchase. "Let's say it's August and you need a new freezer and there's meat about to spoil," Shearman says. The meat could thaw long before your credit.
Consumer advocates say that the credit reporting industry has another reason for pushing other options instead of credit freezes: money. Banks and bureaus sell credit monitoring services to their customers and thus have a vested interest in promoting them. "The superior product doesn't have a corporation behind it. And for that reason, the credit freeze gets much less attention that it deserves," says Ridout.
And that's a shame, experts say. After all, a credit freeze is a good choice for many consumers, they say, but people can't take advantage of a tool they've never heard of.

-tag trick yet?
Manjit wrote:which one is it? if pollDatabase is creating a new map, then nothing it is doing will affect getOutstandingAlerts.
jtahlborn ,you are right that pollDatabase operation creates a brand new copy of alerts ,but getOutstandingAlerts might try to retrieve a value when the pollDatabase operation is updating value.Making the instance variable volatile will not help here.
I was thinking that getOutstandingAlerts method should create an exact copy of alert and retrieve the value from the copy ,rather than the original alert.This way the client code dont have to worry about what the pollDatabase does to the original alert instance variable.Is my strategy good.maybe there is more code that you aren't showing here? you are essentially describing a copy-on-read solution, which is very inefficient if reads outnumber writes. my proposed solution is sort of like copy-on-write. if all the getOutstandingAlerts method is doing is calling get() on the map, my proposed solution will work just fine.
Manjit wrote:Yes, that's the whole point of ConcurrentHashMap. I don't see why it's a problem for your design -- not that I could tell much about your design from what you posted, but it sure looked like one thread was doing a "put" and the other thread was doing a "get". If that's all it is then ConcurrentHashMap should be fine.
Clap,initially I did make it ConcurrentHashmap ,but I believe concurrent hashmap doesnt lock the collection during a get.This means when one thread is updating the map ,the second thread can get values from the map.The get operation of the map doesnt lock the map.
Manjit wrote:because volatile ensures correct memory visibility between threads. if you didn't use volatile, then a caller to getOutstandingAlerts() could see some partially initialized/corrupt version of the map.jtahlborn wrote:Jtalhorn,I think I got your point.Basically you are suggesting that by creating a brand new map in each pollDatabase operation, then I dont have to worry about get operation ,simply because the client code is still looking at old memory location(old copy) and hence should not worry about values getting changes by pollDatabase method.
if the pollDatabase() method is getting a complete new copy of the alerts every time, and the alerts map isn't being modified at all after load, then you can just:
- make the alerts member variable volatible
- create a new HashMap each time pollDatabase() is called, fill it in, and then assign it to the alerts member variable.
I got it.
But the small doubt is that why even I should bother about making the instance variable volatile ? Your suggestion should work without making it volatile

The caller involved in the Dr. Laura Schlessinger N-word controversy appeared on Larry King Live Thursday to discuss the flap, and refused to accept an apology from Schlessinger, who subsequently resigned from her radio show in the wake of her racially offensive comments.
Watch the clip on RadarOnline.com
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Nita Hanson called into Schlessinger's August 10 show to discuss her experiences as a black woman married to a white man, and how at times she feels she is the butt of racist comments from his friends and family. Schlessinger dismissed Hanson's complaints as being too hypersensitive, which led to Hanson asking Schlessinger if it was alright to ever use the N-word.
PHOTOS: Celebrity Racist Rants
"Black guys use it all the time," Schlessinger told Hanson. "Turn on HBO, listen to a black comic, and all you hear is n—–r, n—–r, n—–r. I don't get it. If anybody without enough melanin says it, it's a horrible thing. But when black people say it, is affectionate – it's very confusing."
On Thursday, Schlessinger declined an invite to appear alongside Hanson on Larry King Live, but issued a statement which King read on the air.
AUDIO: Dr. Laura Schlessinger Apologizes For Use Of The N-Word
"I'd like to tell [Hanson] I'm sorry," Schlessinger wrote. "She called me to ask for my advice and help. In giving my answer I not only didn't help her, I used words that offended her and others. And I'd like to say again, I'm sorry."
Hanson was unmoved, as she told King, "You know, the incident happened last Tuesday. I think if she were really sincere about that, she wouldn't have waited ten days, ten, nine days later to apologize. And I will still say if she were not caught, she probably would have gone on like it never even happened.
"I don't accept her apology, because she still thinks it's okay to use the N-word," Hanson said.

Schlessinger, 63, said she won't be doing her show after her contract runs out at the end of the year, as she said she's frustrated from the efforts of special interest groups trying to get her off the air for exercising her First Amendment rights.

Robert M. Parker, a judge in the state's seventh judicial circuit from 1964-82, died Sunday at age 82. Funeral arrangements are pending.
Contemporaries who knew Parker away from the legal arena — such as through his devoted Sunday school work at First United Methodist Church, or through many years of Saturday morning breakfasts with him at local restaurants — say the outside observer might not have pegged him as a judicial type.
"He had a unique style about him," said Tom Coleman, referring to Parker's laid-back manner that could deceive the unwary, including lawyers during his days on the bench.
"He didn't let things bother him or upset him — he was just always in control," Coleman said.
Bob Plummer, another businessman who knew Parker socially, said "he'd seem more like an everyday type person" than a judge.
But Parker was a "very smart" man who had a great recall for names, especially in a sports context, Plummer said, alluding to Parker's enthusiastic support of the athletic programs at Jacksonville State and at Alabama.
Rev. Woodfin Grove, friend and pastor emeritus at FUMC, agreed.
"Underneath all his fun and his humor, Bob had a really sharp intellect. He'd cut through all the extraneous stuff and get right to the heart of the question," Grove said.
In court Parker was all business, and worked hard.
U.S. District Judge Robert Propst said he recalled that in the years prior to Parker's elevation to the circuit judgeship, cases sometimes moved a little slow through the system.
"He jumped right in and carried much more than his load for several years," Propst said.
Both personal integrity and procedural integrity meant something to Parker. Brenda Stedham, presiding circuit judge over the family court division, learned about that early in her career.
"I'll never forget the first time I met him. Walt Merrill, my senior partner, took me to the courthouse when I moved here in August of 1981 and introduced me to Judge Parker." Stedham said. She then got the "best advice" a young lawyer could get.
"He said that if I wanted to get along with him, I must always be honest with him. And from then on, we got along very well indeed."
Parker himself saw his job as being "the chief conservator of the peace" in presiding over criminal and civil trials, as he expressed it in a 1979 interview.
"The law is supposed to be common sense, mainly," he said, noting that it was just good "public relations" for a judge to explain to a jury the workings of the court in layman's terms.
The workings of the court itself were also important. In 1977 Parker asked the county commission to begin plans for establishing a judicial building.
He, like many in the county's legal community at the time, saw the then-recent addition of a fourth circuit judge was only going worsen the logistical inadequacies of the Calhoun County courthouse.
Then, in 1981, he cited Circuit Clerk Richard Forrest "Hoss'' Dobbins for contempt of court after the clerk refused Parker's order to type the docket for the circuit's criminal and civil cases; Dobbins was writing the docket by hand at the time.
Raised in Birmingham, Parker was an attorney whose practice had concentrated on criminal law prior to his being appointed judge in 1964.
Upon achieving the judicial office, he soon found himself at the center of national attention as the presiding judge at the trial of the white man charged with killing a black man, Willie Brewster.
Later in his career, after losing a primary election for the local circuit court bench, Parker served the judicial community in Birmingham in a supernumerary status.

Every week I use Twitter to share a variety of articles and posts and other interesting things I have seen and read across the web. They are then collected here and posted at the end of the week.
Here are the links from the week of 13-19 April 2014.
- Why Resurrection People Remember the Dead – This is a great post on the hope we have in Jesus of death's final defeat: "Practices like [visiting the grave of a loved one and remembering them] are not simply a salve for individual grief. Rather, they help us corporately align ourselves with God's battle against death, Satan, and sin. They reach into the past, embrace the memory of the dead, and rush forward in hope for a day when we are united with the historic community of faith in renewed bodies at the final resurrection. As often as we proclaim the Lord's death and sing the word Maranatha in church, we join with heaven's protest against death's grip on all creation and cultivate a longing for God's victory to be complete."
- Evidence for the Resurrection – Every year around this time, posts on the historicity of the resurrection appear online. This year, Ian Paul has put together a helpful post on the subject.
- Churches "Pandering" to Millennials? – A good post on why changing the message of Christianity to attract the attention of especially younger people never works, but what we do need to think about is what it looks like to hold on to the gospel while meeting people where they're at.
- More Muslims May Be Coming To Christ in Iran Than Anywhere Else – These kinds of reports are always very interesting and encouraging. This article notes, with echoes of Tertullian, "According to Open Doors the harsh treatment of Christians by the regime is only fueling the flames of church growth."
- The Gospel of Jesus' Wife: Not Just For Breakfast Anymore – You may have heard all the recent stuff about a new papyrus fragment that says Jesus had a wife, and I guarantee you won't find a better response to it than this one from Fred Sanders.

Academy of Art University and the
School of Fashion are proud to announce that three Fashion
students won scholarships in the 2006 CFDA Awards. The scholarships awarded by the CFDA are much
sought-after, as only ten scholarships are awarded each year. Min Sun Lee won one of three
scholarships given for $10,000, and Neda Odabasi and Marie Potesta were awarded two of seven $3000
scholarships. Lisa Chang was named as an honorable mention.
Overall, the Academy finished in a tie as the most rewarded university in the competition,
besting traditional heavyweights such as Otis, RISD, and Pratt.
We spoke to Min Sun Lee about her outstanding performance:
Describe the portfolio work you submitted to the CFDA competition.
It was my final project for Fashion Design 2. Those days, I was quite exhausted with
schoolwork. When people feel tired of their routine lives, they desire to travel unfamiliar places.
I decided to pack up and go to Paris in my imagination.
I am encouraged by the Parisian lifestyle, of those who know how to live their lives in an easy
and composed way, but without losing their own personal style. Paris is old, but not old-fashioned
or boring. Paris is a city that is cozy and mod at the same time.
The intention of my collection is to bring a sense of warmth, comfort, and color. Based on
various classical colors, I developed five knit swatches and an embroidered swatch. In addition, I
adopted the '60s mod silhouette, which is a simple line, to stress on colors and complicated
textures. My collection is for 20-to-35-year-old professional women who want to look young and
girly forever.
How did you find out about the CFDA Scholarship Program?
The officials in the Fashion department told us about the program. When I heard that I was
chosen as one of the Academy's representatives I was surprised. My portfolio is quite different.
All of my renderings were drawn by computer. Most of winners have great hand drawing skills, which
I don't have. In addition, my target market is quite different. My collection is for
20-to-35-year-old professional women. So, my girly figures often are misunderstood as meant
children or teenagers. Therefore, I never expected to be chosen by the school -- let alone win the
Simon Ungless came to my knitwear class and told myself and Marie that we were chosen as
winners. When I first saw him, I thought that he came to see how our knitwear project is going, but
he just brought us the good news. Before he showed me the letter from the CFDA, I could hardly
believe it. I was incredibly happy.
What does the scholarship mean to you?
As my target market is often misunderstood in the United States, I underwent some hardships.
I love my work and want to continue to develop my style. This scholarship is a shot in the arm for
me. Now, I can work with a lot of confidence.
What do you want to do when you're finished with school?
I am from Seoul, Korea, but I want to stay in the US for a while and work as a
fashion designer.
Later, I want to have my own clothing line for my target market. I also would like to become a
fashion instructor, someone who can lead and encourage students to become fashion designers.
Fashion designers bring much pleasure to people through their creativity, and I believe that
teaching is one of the most rewarding jobs there is.

Sample Testing:
Decennial (for Luckyscent) - Lys du Desert -- initial impression is that it's too sweet/floral and too heavy in this regard for my tastes; I got a similar overall vibe from Bogart's Arabian Nights (thank you mr. easyfish!) in the first hour, but it's developing in a different direction as more of the amber and woods are kickin in. Not for me.
Decennial (for Luckyscent) - Bois Bourbon -- initial impression is very favorable. Boozy, peppery, and dark rose. This one, so far, is very good. Get a sample.

Former top trooper to police House
The Columbus Dispatch - January 07, 2013 5:01 PM
The new sergeant-at-arms is familiar to many members of the Ohio House of Representatives.
Retired State Highway Patrol Col. Richard "Butch" Collins was sworn in today, assuming responsibility for the security of House members and their staff.
Collins worked part-time for the House during its last session. He retired in September 2009 after serving two years as patrol superintendent to crown his 31-year state career.
"Colonel Collins served Ohio admirably as a state trooper for many years, and I'm confident that he will continue to do as the House sergeant-at-arms," Speaker William G. Batchelder, R-Medina, said in a statement.
Collins succeeds former sergeant-at-arms Tim McCarthy, who retired at the end of last year.

The bestselling novel featuring the "wonderfully epic hero" (People) who inspired the hit film Jack Reacher.
Ex-military policeman Jack Reacher is a drifter. He's just passing through Margrave, Georgia, and in less than an hour, he's arrested for murder. Not much of a welcome. All Reacher knows is that he didn't kill anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn't stand a chance of convincing anyone. Not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell.

RIBA, 66 Portland Place London W1B 1AD
Antonio Berardi presents Sedotta e AbbandonataDirected by Pietro GermiRIBA London, together with Disegno Magazine, is inviting leading names from architecture, design and fashion to present a film that has been an inspiration in their work. The night will start with a presentation of the film and a Q&A with the person who has nominated it. Following the film guests will be invited to join a drinks reception to encourage debate and discussion over a complimentary drink or two.
Antonio Berardi is a British fashion designer who trained at Central Saint Martins in London. His graduate collection in 1994 caused a stir among London buyers, including Liberty. He launched his first professional collection under an eponymous label for the following season. His trademark elements include body-conscious strong-tailoring, baroque details and the use of progressive fabrics and technology. His design influences include film, music, Catholic symbolism, urban street style and the female form. His latest collection for spring summer 2013 moves towards a more athletic silhouette coupling transparent layers and skater shapes with his signature tailoring.
Sedotta e Abandonata is an Italian film from 1964. A satirical study of the customs and laws within Sicilian society, the story focuses on a miner's daughter who has a tryst with her sister's fiancé. It was chosen by Berardi as a film that has inspired his work but also represents his Sicilian heritage.

Will Washington get the cold shoulder on Selection Sunday?
Story Highlights
It's possible Washington win a share of Pac-12 title, but not make NCAAs
A win at Kansas could make Texas the sixth Big 12 team to make field of 65
Despite a loss to Colorado, Cal still has the best at-large resume in the Pac-12
Championships of top 10 conferences are considered gold in terms of NCAA tournament selection, but since 2000, six teams have won at least a share of a top 10 league (in Conference RPI terms) and not made the NCAAs. The victims include 2001 Wyoming and Utah (Mountain West), 2001 Southern Mississippi (Conference USA), 2005 Miami, Ohio (MAC), 2007 Massachusetts (Atlantic 10), 2009 Creighton (Missouri Valley) and 2009 New Mexico (Mountain West).
(Thanks to my Twitter followers and CollegeRPI.com's Jerry Palm for helping compile.)
This season, Washington, currently a half-game ahead of Cal (one in the loss column), looks set to nab at least a share of the Pac-12 crown. A sweep in L.A. will ensure a solo championship of the No. 10-rated league. Could the Huskies become No. 8 on that ignominious list, and the first victim from a traditional "power conference"?
Washington will finish without a top-50 win and likely will be 3-8 against the RPI top 100 entering the Pac-12 tournament. After the league went 1-29 in nonconference play against RPI top 50 teams, there simply were no good wins to get in league play. Well, there was one ... but Washington lost at home to Cal in the teams' only meeting.
Should the Huskies fall into the at-large pool, the selection committee will have a quandary. Washington likely would have an RPI north of 50 and an at-large profile much more representative of the mid-major and quasi-high major teams excluded above. Here are some recent comparables to the Huskies' projected profile for an at-large:
As you can see, if they don't get the auto bid, the Huskies will have a rather anxious wait. The Pac-10 two years ago was a better league, and Cal had a better profile. So did last year's UAB team that barely got in. Last year's Saint Mary's profile wasn't much worse, if it even actually was.
Do I think Washington, at 15-3 and with a solo title, would slip into the bracket? Probably. Would it be egregious if the committee left them out, especially if the Huskies drop a game this weekend? Not at all.
A quick reminder on the standard rules of engagement:
1) Auto bids go to the best RPI of the conference leaders (based on fewest league losses).
2) Records listed are Division I only, per NCAA tournament selection guidelines. All RPI and SOS data are from Monday's collegerpi.com RPI report. GW = good wins. BL = bad losses. (N) = neutral-site game.

Locks: Duke, North Carolina, Florida State
The league title race is a two-horse show after Florida State lost at Reggie Johnson-less Miami Sunday night. Duke's at Wake Forest and North Carolina is hosting Maryland before Saturday's showdown at Cameron, so that one likely will be for the outright crown. Virginia ambles along as the fourth team looking for NCAA tourney fun, but is that where the cutoff line will be?
Virginia (21-7, 8-6; RPI: 39, SOS: 83)
Staving off Virginia Tech on the road became even more important when the Cavaliers couldn't handle North Carolina at home. They get Florida State at home and at Maryland to close things up. This is a surprisingly sparse resume, but given the landscape, 9-7 may well be enough. If it's a win over Florida State, all the better. The top-100 mark is solid, but it's mostly lean beef.
GW: Michigan, at LSU??
BL: Virginia Tech?, TCU(N)??, at Clemson
Miami (17-10, 8-6; RPI: 48, SOS: 32)
The Hurricanes may have saved their season with Sunday's home thumping of Florida State sans Reggie Johnson, who was ruled temporarily ineligible before the game. While I joked on Twitter afterward that the performance undercuts the pre-Johnson nonconference excuses a bit, it's a huge boost for the Canes. Now they close at NC State and home to Boston College. Getting both would be very big.
GW: at Duke, Florida State
BL: None, really
North Carolina State (18-11, 7-7; RPI: 72, SOS: 29)
This is probably not happening now that the Wolfpack missed on all three chances for a profile-defining win and then topped it off with a loss at Clemson in OT. The Pack have to sweep Miami and then win in Blacksburg, and then win several ACC tourney games. They're currently 0-8 against the RPI top 50 and have three sub-100 losses.
GW: at Miami?
BL: Georgia Tech, at Clemson, at Stanford?
Locks: Kansas, Missouri, Baylor
Kansas' massive second-half rally edged Missouri and a Monday night win gave the Jayhawks an eighth straight Big 12 title and the inside track to a No. 1 seed in the NCAAs. It also makes you want to see Part 3 in the Big 12 final ... and Part 4 in New Orleans? Baylor's fine for a high seed and Iowa State and Kansas State took big steps to make this at least a five-bid league. Do I hear six, Texas?
Iowa State (21-8, 11-5; RPI: 31, SOS: 59)
The Cyclones took a large step toward making the NCAAs with a Saturday win in Manhattan which gives them a sweep of Kansas State. With the Wildcats themselves looking pretty solid to get in, how can you nix the team that's three games ahead of them in a true-round robin, plus beat them twice? ISU has a chance to make it official this week if they can pick off Missouri (in Columbia) or Baylor at home.
GW: Kansas, Sweep of Kansas State
BL: at Drake?, at Oklahoma State?
Kansas State (19-9, 8-8; RPI: 45, SOS: 41)
The Wildcats looked to have punched their way into the NCAAs with the most impressive back-to-back wins of the season (at Baylor and at Missouri), but then they fell again to Iowa State, this time at home. Things still look pretty solid. Both games this week (at Texas A&M and against Oklahoma State) are very winnable. If they get both, hard to see the Wildcats needing more than that in this bubble year. Even a split might be fine, barring a first-round crash out in the Big 12 tournament on top of that.
GW: Sweep of Missouri, at Baylor, Alabama (N), Long Beach State (N)
BL: Swept by Oklahoma, Swept by Iowa State
Texas (18-11, 8-8; RPI: 55, SOS: 26)
The Longhorns couldn't handle Baylor at home and now are staring at a fairly mediocre profile and a 9-9 league mark (at best) unless they can win at Kansas in the season finale. The Horns are just 4-9 against the RPI top 100, with eight of those losses against top-50 teams. Maybe too many blown chances?
GW: Temple, Iowa State?, Kansas State?
BL: Oregon State (N)
Locks: Syracuse, Georgetown, Marquette, Louisville, Notre Dame
Five are in. Five more are in contention to get in. Since only eight can make the Big East quarters, that probably implies at least two will miss, and then we'll see who shows up in that round. The differences between the five bubble teams in contention are very, very marginal at this point. Order them how you want -- the last week of the season and the tournament will be the shredder.
Connecticut (17-11, 7-9; RPI: 30, SOS: 1)
The Huskies' effort against Syracuse showed heart and intensity that have been noticeably lacking for large chunks of the season. It also shows up as another loss, which means the Huskies can finish .500 at best in the league. They still have some decent wins on their resume, but it would be a dangerous mistake to drop either one this week (at Providence or home to Pitt).
GW: Florida State (N), at Notre Dame, Seton Hall?, West Virginia??, Harvard?
BL: at Rutgers, at Tennessee
Seton Hall (19-10, 8-9; RPI: 44, SOS: 33)
The Pirates beat Georgetown and then tossed away the positional advantage by losing at home to Rutgers. With the West Virginia and UConn home wins weakening rapidly, the Pirates' profile is not that good. They have to win at DePaul in the finale and then make the Big East quarters and see.
GW: Georgetown, UConn?, West Virginia?, Saint Joseph's??
BL: Rutgers, at Villanova
Cincinnati (20-9, 10-6; RPI: 77, SOS: 108)
Had the Bearcats won at South Florida, they'd be in fairly strong position, but the 46-45 setback not only brings the Bulls further into the picture, it means some more work is needed. The RPI is a direct result of the Bearcats' dreadful nonconference schedule, and that will be held against them, just like Alabama '11.
GW: at Georgetown, at UConn, Notre Dame, Louisville, Seton Hall
BL: St. John's, at Rutgers, Presbyterian
West Virginia (17-12, 7-9; RPI: 50, SOS: 10)
The Mountaineers have now dropped seven of nine after an awful performance at Notre Dame and then blew a big second-half lead and lost at home to suspension-weakened Marquette. They're now in significant trouble and the schedule doesn't help at all. They have to beat DePaul and win at South Florida this weekend, and then very likely will face a first-round game against DePaul or Providence, which is no help either. Looks like a W4 streak (or more) now is needed. One possible saving grace: wins over potential bubble teams Miami and Kansas State.
GW: Georgetown, Kansas State (N), Miami?, Cincinnati?, Oral Roberts?
BL: Kent State?, at St. John's, Pitt?
South Florida (17-11, 11-5; RPI: 46, SOS: 24)
The Bulls showed pretty well at Syracuse and then nabbed a huge one-point win over Cincinnati to strengthen their position. This week is no bargain: at Louisville and home to West Virginia in what should be a massive game for both teams. A 12-6 USF team, given the Big East schedule and a lack of quality wins, would be a very difficult evaluation. I don't think a BET quarterfinal appearance would be enough.
GW: Seton Hall
BL: Old Dominion (N)??, Penn State (N), at Auburn
Locks: Michigan State, Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana
Michigan and Indiana join the lock party, so that makes five for the Big Ten. Michigan State is now arrowing toward a 1-seed in the NCAAs and the league should have a large handful of protected seeds. How many more will make it? Looks like it's up to Purdue and Northwestern to decide, although Illinois is, to quote Monty Python, "not dead yet."
Purdue (19-10, 9-7; RPI: 40, SOS: 19)
A huge, huge win at Michigan helps move the Boilermakers closer to an NCAA berth. With an earlier win over Temple, that's two high-quality Ws to go with the demolition of the middle of the conference. Now 10-8 looks pretty likely with Penn State coming in on Wednesday, and they get a shot to punch their ticket in Bloomington on Sunday. Somehow lose both? Hmm...
GW: at Michigan, Temple (N), Iona??, sweep of Northwestern?, Miami (Fla.)?
BL: Butler (N), at Penn State
Northwestern (17-11, 7-9; RPI: 43, SOS: 12)
The Wildcats were very fortunate to escape at Penn State with their hopes intact. Now they host a sliding Ohio State team in the game that could be the difference between making the tournament and losing out on a bid. Northwestern needs this win. There are no truly bad losses on the resume, but not nearly enough good wins given the number of chances.
GW: Michigan State, Seton Hall (N)?, at Illinois???
BL: Illinois?
Illinois (17-12, 6-10; RPI: 74, SOS: 25)
If the Illini can win their next four and make the Big Ten semis, they would not be a ridiculous at-large consideration. It may take making the final, though, which likely would provide another marquee win.
GW: Ohio State, Michigan State, Gonzaga, at Northwestern?
BL: at Penn State, at Nebraska

After a long vacation, the BNFL POWER RANKINGS are back!
My methodology of compiling these is shamelessly ripped off of CBS's fantasy system, because it's a easy to use with spreadsheets. The system takes three things into account - total wins, total points, and something called the 'breakdown". The breakdown is basically what your record would be if you played all 23 other teams in the same week, and this is calculated newly each week. It's a way to correct for when you get unlucky and run into Edgar's buzzsaw in a week you would've dominated in. The top team in each category gets 24 points, the next 23, all the way down to the worst team getting 1 point. These are averaged out equally (though I may change that), and voila!

I have been working at Amazon.com for more than a year
Pros – Almost everyone at Amazon is very talented, and the culture that Amazon explicitly values is positively unique among other megacorporations. The company is pretty generous with stock grants, though they tend to have protracted vesting schedules (could hardly be more so).
Cons – What you've heard about pagers is true. Amazon is frugal to a fault, and most technical roles involve at least some portion of after-hours on-call operational support, no matter how talented you think you are. AWS is something of an exception; that org has more outsourced support teams to help with some of the more established service issues. Negotiate on the way in because, like many companies, annual compensation increases are modest at best. The company also has a very bad habit of buying the cheapest possible laptops for even its technical employees.
Advice to Senior Management – Avoiding attrition by valuing your contributors is important! Small things can matter a lot more than they cost. Even young people need work/life balance for long-term success, and people at any age need to sleep uninterrupted most of the time.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
