Documentary festival runs Oct. 1-7
Posted September 26, 2007; 05:57 p.m.
The fifth Princeton Documentary Festival, highlighting the most recent, cutting-edge documentaries from Latin America and Spain, will be held Monday through Sunday, Oct. 1-7.
This year's theme is "The Family Photo Album," which alludes to a comment from filmmaker Patricio Guzman, featured at last year's festival: "A country without documentary cinema is like a family without a photo album." The selected films both capture personal experience and illuminate societal concerns.
The festival includes free public screenings, classroom discussions and interactions with filmmakers. From Monday through Thursday, the films will be shown at the Frist Campus Center theater, and most will be shown again at the Princeton Public Library Friday and Sunday. All films will be screened in the original language with English subtitles. For a full schedule, visit <www.princeton.edu/spo/films/>.
The event is sponsored by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese Languages and Cultures, Program in Latin American Studies, Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies, University Center for Human Values, Council of the Humanities and Davis Center for Historical Studies.

Australia is currently focusing on providing its people with the tools to support independent aging care and improve healthcare services in remote regions
Singapore: Australia boasts an advanced healthcare system supported by both the public and private sector involvement. The country spent 9.3 percent of its GDP on healthcare in 2011 and is currently focusing on providing people with the tools to support independent aging care and improve healthcare services in remote regions.
While modernisation of healthcare facilities and investment in IT has been rapid over the past 10 years, adoption still lags amongst physicians and consumers due to lack of trust in information systems. This lack of trust stems from the failure of several regional health IT projects in recent years.
The Australian healthcare IT market was estimated at $811.03 million (A$ 783 million) in 2012, which includes software tools and applications leveraged by healthcare providers as well as the professional services needed for implementation and support. Government incentives towards adoption of Personally Controlled Electronic Health Record (PCEHR) and other healthcare delivery programs such as the Practice Incentives Program (PIP) will be the key driver for market growth. Private players on the other hand are focusing on enhancing customer awareness and engagement in their products.
According to Mr Rhenu Bhuller, vice president of Healthcare, Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific, the healthcare IT market in Australia is driven by the shift in emphasis from acute care to prevention. This is apparent from the numerous incentive schemes listed in the PIP, which focus on long-term care including incentives for diabetes detection, cervical screening and asthma. In addition to these, the PIP also encourages digitisation of healthcare providers by incentivising adoption of healthcare IT at the GP level across healthcare organisations.
Australia's Personal Health Record (PHR) program opens doors for private investment in eHealth across the country. The Australian market for Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Electronic Health Records (EHR) is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.1 percent between 2013-18. On average, healthcare providers spend a little less than two percent of their operating expenditure on IT which is less than the global average spend of 3.6 percent as quoted by CeBIT, Australia.

Gilt and innocence: Farrowing on a Moffat County hog farm
Raising hogs is an enterprise as dirty and physically demanding as it sounds. Regardless of the type of operation hogs have never been widely regarded for their sanitary existence by the general population. Though breeders in the industry are quick to dispel the myth that hogs are filthy, and tout the animal as being the smartest found on the farm, hog barns are notoriously foul smelling places, and are famous for dropping ill prepared visitors to their ever-loving knees.

China's stocks–once emerging-market laggards–have rallied strongly into year end. While better economic-growth prospects deserve much of the credit, the possibility of reform is also helping to send stocks higher.
China held its Central Economic Work Conference this past weekend and policy makers were more open to economy-boosting steps than many market watchers had anticipated. On Monday, for instance, Goldman Sachs strategists wrote:
We see the overall message as slightly more dovish than the prior statement following the December 4 Politburo meeting, although it did not deviate significantly from that meeting. The statements on infrastructure FAI and monetary policies were clearly positive for the market, in our opinion.
But its reform progress that could really boost markets in 2013, HSBC said in a report today.
We think the A-share market is a good barometer of the progress of reform. The second wave of reform is set to be considerably more difficult and internally-focused than the first, as the government strives to better align government and markets through further price reform, stimulate demand through new-style urbanization, improve income distribution and enhance supply discipline by breaking up state monopolies. Foreign investors are becoming more sanguine on the A-share market as well, while domestic investor sentiment appears to be finally bottoming.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Coders' Rights Project
In June, we filed an amicus brief urging the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider the troubling decision of a three judge panel in United States v. Nosal, which ruled that employees commit a crime anytime they use a work computer for purposes that violate a company's computer use policy.
Yesterday the Senate Judiciary Committee approved a trio of data security and data breach notification bills. One of the bills, which was sponsored by Committee Chairman Senator Leahy, includes a crucial amendment [pdf] to clarify that it's not illegal under the notoriously vague Computer Fraud and Abuse Act to violate agreements like website terms of service or acceptable use policies.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation would like to thank all of the attendees at this year's Black Hat USA, Security BSidesLV, and DEF CON conferences in Las Vegas. We are humbled by the infosec community's outpouring of generosity to sustain EFF's work defending coders rights and upholding our freedoms online.
Say hello to EFF's second, limited-edition, DEF CON membership t-shirt! Only 340 premium-level donors who attend this year's DEF CON 19 in Las Vegas will be able to get these new "ENCRYPTION SAVES" shirts, specially designed by Joe Alterio of the creative charity Robots & Monsters. The front is emblazoned with a mashup of the DEF CON and EFF logos in a subtle homage to our mutual support (as well as a shout-out to EFF's advocacy for remix culture and fair use). Under UV light, the orange, white and blue design on the shirt's back glows white with acid green bits of code. In complete darkness, a secret message is revealed, illuminating the plain text truth that strong encryption saves lives. Mouse over the image below to experience the glow-in-the-dark awesomeness.

A psychiatric evaluation will look at symptoms and when they happen, as well as what impact they have on family and work relationships.
Families, spouses, or friends are often the first to suspect that their loved one is challenged by feelings, behaviors, and/or environmental conditions that cause them to act disruptive, rebellious, or sad.
Mental illness can cause different symptoms in men than in women, so some disorders in men may be harder to recognize. Men who are depressed, for example, may appear angry and irritable rather than sad and withdrawn.
When your life seems to be spinning out of control, it's OK to seek professional mental health help.
Team members may include a child and adolescent psychiatrist, a psychologist, a social worker, and a psychiatric nurse.
Every year, one in four Americans suffers from a diagnosable mental disorder that interferes with their ability to function at work or school or in their daily lives.
It's normal to feel stressed or anxious now and then. But it's time to call for help if emotional issues interfere with your life, your job or your personal relationships.

Clifton trucker fined $1,350 for fatal Pennsylvania crash
GROVE CITY, Pa. — A New Jersey trucker has been fined $1,350 for a fatal western Pennsylvania crash that police said was caused when his trailer taillights were damaged after he drove on flattened tires.
Wilfredo Suarez, 54, of Clifton, N.J., pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of tampering with evidence and three vehicle safety violations in the April 10 crash on Interstate 80 near Grove City, the (Sharon) Herald reported Monday (http://bit.ly/1lwy2Xv ).
Michael Holder, 55, of Lansing, Mich., died when his minivan rear-ended the truck's trailer about 3:30 a.m.
Suarez was westbound on Interstate 80 when his right rear trailer tires went flat. Instead of stopping, Suarez turned around at the junction of Interstate 79 and began heading eastbound toward a garage where he hoped to have the tires repaired, state police said. Suarez drove the flattened tires down to their rims, damaging the trailer's taillights in the process, police said.
Holder's vehicle then rear-ended the tractor trailer while Suarez was driving about 30 mph in a 65-mph zone.
When troopers arrived, they warned Suarez not to do anything to his vehicle while they spoke to medical officials who responded to the crash site. But police later determined Suarez replaced the damaged taillights and tossed the broken ones over a roadside embankment.
Suarez was trying to save money by driving on flattened tire rims to a garage four miles away instead of calling for roadside assistance with the flats, police said.
The fine was imposed by a Mercer County judge last week. Suarez and his attorney could not immediately be reached for comment Monday.

Rules & procedures
Each year, more than 250,000 public authorities in the EU spend around 14% of GDP on purchasing services, works or supplies. As a business registered in the EU, you have the right to compete for public contracts in other EU countries.
To create a level playing field for all businesses across Europe, the EU law sets minimum harmonised rules (see directives on public procurement). These rules, transposed into national legislation, apply to the tenders whose monetary value exceeds a certain amount (see thresholds below). These 'above threshold' tenders are, presumably, of cross-border interest; in other words - the tender value makes it worth-while for a business to submit a tender abroad.
For tenders of lower value, national rules apply (which nevertheless have to respect general principles of EU law). The 'below threshold' procedures may be simplified compared to the EU-wide tenders.
For all tenders, public authorities:
- may not discriminate against a business because it is registered in another EU country
- may not refer to specific brands, trademarks or patents when describing the characteristics of products & services they wish to purchase
- may not refuse to accept supporting documents (certificates, diplomas, etc.) issued by another EU country, as long as they provide the same level of guarantee
- must make all information regarding tenders available to all interested companies, regardless of what EU country they are registered in.
A public authority has the right to exclude your business from a call for tenders if it:
- is bankrupt or being wound up
- has suspended its activities or its activities are administered by a court
- has been found guilty of grave misconduct
- has not paid taxes or social security contributions
- has made false declarations to a public authority.
Only in specific cases public authorities may award contracts without publishing a call for tenders:
- emergencies due to unforeseeable events
- contracts that - for technical reasons or because of exclusive rights - can be carried out by one particular company only
- contracts that by law are excluded from public procurement (acquisition/rental of existing buildings, employment contracts, programme material for broadcasting, etc.).
Thresholds triggering EU‑wide rules
Amounts below do not include VAT and are valid from 1 January 2014.
Central government authorities
supplies contracts (for defence only those listed in Annex III of Directive 2014/24)
supplies contracts for defence products not listed in Annex III of Directive 2014/24
all works contracts
Other public authorities
all supplies and services contracts
all works contracts
For public service providers in the fields of water, energy, transport and postal services, the threshold for supplies and service contracts is EUR 418 000. For works contracts, the threshold is EUR 5 225 000.
For EU countries that do not use the euro, the following thresholds apply.
Public procurement rules
Award criteria
Public authorities may use different criteria when evaluating tenders - for example they may select according to the lowest price offered or they may use other criteria. In the latter case, each applicant should be informed of the different weighting given to the different criteria (for example price, technical characteristics and environmental aspects).
Certain notices must be published for any public tender exceeding the thresholds and for which EU-wide rules exist:
- contract notice or notice of a design contest: the public authority may publish this notice nationally but should also send it to the EU Publications Office. The notice is published in full in one official language of the EU and a summary is translated into other languages
- notice of the contract award announcing the results of the public tender.
Public authorities may choose to publish other information notices, such as the prior information notice (announcing a possible upcoming tender). When a tender is eventually published following a prior information notice, the time limit to submit and receive tenders can be reduced. Another way of reducing the time limit is to publish the tender electronically.
A list of notices can be found in the buyers' corner on SIMAP, the European portal for public procurement.
Public authorities may only begin evaluating tenders after the deadline for submission has expired. If you have submitted a tender, you have the right to be informed as soon as possible whether or not you have won the contract. If you have not been selected, you are entitled to a detailed explanation of why your tender was rejected. The public authority must observe strict confidentiality regarding the exchange and storage of your data.
Technical specifications
Technical specifications define the characteristics of the service, supply or works that the public authority intends to buy. They may include aspects of environmental performance, design, safety, quality assurance or conformity assessment. For public works contracts they may also include tests, inspection and construction techniques. Technical specifications should not require the use of a specific brand, trade mark or patent.
Types of public procurement procedure
Open procedure
In an open procedure any business may submit a tender. The minimum time limit for submission of tenders is 35 days from the publication date of the contract notice. If a prior information notice was published, this time limit can be reduced to 15 days.
Restricted procedure
In a restricted procedure any business may ask to participate but only those who are pre-selected will be invited to submit a tender. The time limit to request participation is 37 days from the publication of the contract notice. The public authority then selects at least 5 candidates possessing the capabilities required, who then have 40 days to submit a tender from the date when the invitation was sent. This time limit can be reduced to 36 days, if a prior information notice has been published.
In urgent cases the public authority may set a time limit of 15 days to receive participation requests (if the notice is sent electronically, this can be reduced to 10 days) and 10 days for the submission of the tenders.
Negotiated procedure
In a negotiated procedure the public authority invites at least 3 businesses with whom it will negotiate the terms of the contract.
Most contracting authorities can use this procedure only in a limited number of cases, for example for supplies intended exclusively for research or testing purposes. The contracting authorities in sectors such as water, energy, transport or postal services may use it as a standard procedure.
The time limit to receive requests to participate is 37 days from the publication of the contract notice. In extremely urgent cases this can be reduced to 15 days (or 10 days if the notice is sent electronically).
Under certain conditions this procedure can be chosen even without publication of a contract notice, for example in case no tenders were submitted in an open or restricted procedure, in extremely urgent cases or in cases where, for technical reasons, the contract can be carried out only by a single business.
Competitive dialogue
This procedure is often used for complex contracts such as large infrastructure projects where the public authority cannot define the technical specifications at the outset. After the publication of the contract notice, interested businesses have 37 days to request participation. The public authority must invite at least 3 candidates to a dialogue in which the final technical, legal and economic aspects are defined. After the dialogue the candidates submit their final tenders.
Competitive dialogue cannot be used by public services providers in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors.
Electronic auctions
Public authorities can also award contracts by electronic auction. Before starting the auction, the authority must make a full initial evaluation of the tenders and allow only the admissible ones to take part. The invitation to participate in the auction must state the date and time of the auction and the number of bidding rounds. It should also set out the mathematical formula that will determine the automatic rankings. In each bidding round you must be able to see your ranking compared to your competitors, without knowing their identity.
Electronic auctions cannot be used for certain types of contract - such as the design of works (for example architectural plans for a building).

Yamaha TX816
The TX816 is a monster of DX and FM digital synthesis. It is a unique system in that it is a rack unit that could take up to eight TF1 modules. A TF1 module is basically a DX7 condensed down to a single circuit board with almost no front panel controls. Definitely designed for use with external hardware and software controllers the TX816 allows you to easily carry around up to eight DX7s! Software such as MOTU Unisyn, Emagic SounDiver, or even another DX7 can be used to program the sounds in each module via MIDI.
Each TF1 module consists of a 16-voice, 6-operator digital FM synth engine. So a complete TX816 with all eight TF1 modules would offer up to 128 voices and 48 operators! Each TF1 also features an indepednent audio out (XLR) and MIDI I/O for a total of eight audio outputs and MIDI I/O's. It also has one global MIDI in/out port with 8-part multitimbrality, but no common stereo or mix output.
The TX816 was designed for demanding live use where portability, polyphony, and lots of outputs are a must! The TX816 is fully compatible with all other DX synthesizers including Native Instruments FM7 software-based plug-in. You can use the TX816 like it's eight seperate DX7s or mix and pan each module together to layer your sounds into one monsterous DX powerhouse! It has been used by Kitaro, Chick Corea, Michael Jackson, Europe, and Scritti Politti.
In the early eighties these sold for anywhere between $2,000 to $5,000 depending on how many TF1 modules were installed (from two to eight typically). Luckily for today's musicians you can get a software plug-in like FM7 for ten times less money and you still get everything the TX816 could do, and much more too!

Highly recommended!
Buse is a great contact person: we arrived w/ different flights around 11 PM and she arranged a joint pickup for the ride to the apartment where she (despite the late hour) was happy to receive us and to explain everything in detail. The apartment is beautiful in an old charm way. Nice old creaky floors, great ceiling height, great views of the Bosporus and nearby town, and light from two sides of the apartment and a third aspect towards a ventilation shaft (we are two architects travelling with 3 20+ children and notice these things). It is furnished in a relaxed but useful way, sitting areas, eating area and with a bookshelf full of recent guidebooks. No need to bring your own! (BTW: the best one is by far the Time Out guide. Great articles and very useful maps. I had bought the Lonely planet one, but it really wasn't up to par. There are 3 copies in the shelf :-).
The kitchen is very well supplied w/ dishwasher and everything you will need. Since everyone praises the terrace first, I save that for last: an incredible experience and only two floors up! Also there are two: one facing southeast (Asia and the Bosporus w/ the bridge) and the other southwest with an great Sultanet view. I watched sunrises, sunsets, had meals and even a few nice cigarettes (even though I don't usually smoke anymore...) up there. It's really worth the stay by itself. The area around Golata tower is touristy of course and crowded with a selfies army, but once in the apartment you are clear of that, and within walking distance to most things to see. The apartment is very quiet, being so high up.
Highly recommended! Only negative comment would be the 5th floor location without elevator, but that didn't trouble us. Nice but a bit worn staircase with marble tile landings (cracked). Also the toilet could have been turned 90° and facing the room for better function (I'm 1,93 so it was a bit a bit jammed). To buy food I went all over the hill, only to find the best market almost below the tower (on the street that descends towards the bridge). Enjoy your stay!

We arrived in 4 people in the apartment, located next to the Gallata tower. Centrally located, it is rather spacious full-service to live in good conditions. The big plus of this apartment is the terrace which is just amazing. I highly recommend it!
Wonderful location and the apartment is superb. A lift would make things easier but otherwise, I rcommend this place. Thank you again, Buse. Pierre & his team
The apartment was spacious and really wonderful--the photos give a truthful impression of its beauty. The view from the terrace is simply terrific--in fact we skipped visiting Galata tower, as there was no point waiting in queue for a view of the city and the golden horn (and the tower itself) which we had without effort on the terrace. Buse was a very friendly and helpful host--many thanks to her. As another guest has called the appartment 'a bit worn down': I would rather say the apartment is refurbished (kitchen and bathroom are up to modern standards) without sacrificing the original character while still keeping it affordable. If you prefer a modern apartment with its Home Depot/Ikea look, there are plenty available.
Apartment had an excellent location - right by The Gelata Tower.
Hostess Buse was very accomodating and friendly. She arranged transport back to the airport for us - very reliable.
Apartment was very clean and had all the amenities that you could hope for.
Would definately stay at this apartment again on future visits to Istanbul.
Buse was great! helpful and not over bearing. she very nicely accommodated our weird flying schedule and was very clear in all her directions. Plus she gave us some very good tips for local restaurants.
The apartment was charming and well situated, and the terrace magical, Overall a really perfect experience.
this apartment is fantastic - full of character and atmosphere and in an incredible location. Look at a picture of the Galata Tower and the next roof top down is the roof top you have access to if you stay here. The views are incredible - the whole of the city is right there for you to watch the sun set over. Priceless. Buse is very lovely too. Kind and helpful and honest.
Nice apartment. A bit worn down, but really nice decor. Good communication. Fantastic rooftop terrace. It would be nice with some sun chairs and decent furniture on the terrace. That can't be to expensive, and would really heighten the experience. But the view from up there is simply the best in Istanbul.
The apartment in Beyoglu is just amazing and we can strongly recommend it to any family. The building is in a very nice area and the apartment itself is very tasteful and clean with a good bathroom and kitchen. But just stunning is the rooftop-terrace. Imagine you are having breakfast overlooking the complete city and Bosporus, or having a BBQ when the sun goes down, while the people in the Galatatower next to you (who paid 16 Liras and where in a queue for an hour) are observing you with great envy!
Buse as a host was fantastic, she realy took care, everything was 100% ok and as agreed, and she arranged the best taxi-driver in Istanbul. Tessekur ederim!
