Published August 22, 2012
In a report published yesterday on CBC Hamilton, Mayor Bob Bratina is quoted saying Hamilton will have to pay some of the cost of the planned Light Rail Transit (LRT) line.
The mayor met Monday with Bob Chiarelli, Ontario's Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation, at the Association of Ontario Municipalities (AMO) conference in Ottawa.
The minister clarified that Hamilton will have to raise a share of the cost of establishing an LRT service, Bratina said in a phone interview with CBC Hamilton on Tuesday.
"It was a relief to finally hear a clear statement from the minister that there will be participation expected from the host community," he said.
RTH contacted Mayor Bratina via email to ask him why it is a "relief" that Hamilton will have to pay some of the LRT cost, given that the Metrolinx mandate is to fully fund regional higher-order transit projects. The Mayor responded:
Council has struggled with the question of funding from the very beginning when the "Big Move" was announced. There has never been any question in my mind that LRT would require some cost to taxpayers and that is now confirmed. We can now engage in specifics of how, when and where LRT would be best suited to meet the needs of Hamilton based partly on our ability to pay. Until this was made clear Council was reluctant to declare specific commitments. I believe you will now hear a much more focused discussion.
RTH also asked whether other LRT systems funded through Metrolinx - like the Eglinton-Scarborough Crosstown LRT, Sheppard East LRT and Etobicoke-Finch LRT, will also require their host city to pay some of the capital cost. The Mayor answered:
I can't answer for other systems. The ones mentioned were part of a specific announcement in 2009 regarding the first five year capital plan that included three million dollars for Hamilton to study the A and B line rapid transit corridors. Subsequent proposals will depend on the June 2013 decision on how the Province intends to proceed with the outstanding transit projects. Words such as "alternatives" and "creative" point to funding sources beyond current Provincial taxation.
RTH has also contacted Minister Chiarelli, Metrolinx, Hamilton MPPs Ted McMeekin and Andrea Horwath and members of Council for comment. More to come as we get responses.

" We can now engage in specifics of how, when and where LRT would be best suited to meet the needs of Hamilton based partly on our ability to pay. "
IOTW Bratina gets to reopen the can of worms over what route the LRT should take. Say good bye to all the work planning the B Line, say good bye to LRT in Hamilton any time soon.

Don't forget this tidbit from the Spec last week: http://www.thespec.com/news/local/article/779917--mchattie-fears-mississauga-may-get-jump-on-lrt-funding
Councillor Brian McHattie said on Monday that he's unsure whether Mayor Bob Bratina has lobbied the province to ensure Hamilton is at the top of the list for LRT funding.
"I'm growing increasingly concerned that we haven't heard much about the overall LRT effort," he said. "We're doing all this great work in Hamilton on the planning side … and it may well turn out that Mississauga has done a better job than us behind the scenes. This is a political process, and at this point, I have no idea where we're at."
Bratina responded that though he's meeting with Transportation Minister Bob Chiarelli next week, he's not optimistic about the province's finances.
"When we see the premier going head-to-head with teachers, you've got to know there's a lot of pressure on spending in the province," he said.
"I think I'm probably more nervous than I was a couple minutes ago," McHattie responded. "I know the mayor's office has been involved, I think we need of a multipronged approach here."

The Big Move was never more than 20% funded, and Metrolinx's reservoirs are being drained by existing commitments in the GTA. (The province is in similar straits as it begins its five-year climb out of a $15 billion deficit.) This presents an obvious challenge.
The next phase of transit expansion (TBM 2.0) will be driven by an investment strategy. Along with the revised blueprint, Metrolinx will have to offer the Ontario and regional governments a credible road map detailing how they plan to bankroll the grand vision.

If the city has to pay a dime, LRT will be dead in the water. That's why Bratina is so happy. He knows that council will not back it if the city is on the hook for any money. The only reason council jumped all over it in the first place was because the province was supposed to fully fund it.

Captain, I wasn't talking about any specific site for the stadium but rather the process. I admire Fred for going out on a limb and starting the stadium process knowing it would be a controversial topic in the city and not knowing exactly the final outcome when he began the process. I admire his courage. It wasn't an easy move on his part, that is for sure.

It has long been suspected that Hamilton would have to pony up some cash. Metrolinx stated long ago that they would fund a basic system and anything more would be up to the city to fund.
I don't think it was ever defined what a basic system included, i.e. does it include platforms?, so it should not be surprise now the city is going to be on the hook for cash.
Like with everything, if it's not in writing it doesn't count (sometimes even when it's in writing it doesn't count...)

A great way to make the change may be to start doing it in your company first. Look for opportunities on how you can add value to your own HR function. Think about areas of expertise that you have and those that you can now use in some aspect of HR work.
The best way to do this would be to have an open and exploratory conversation with the head of your HR department. Tell them what you are thinking and ask for ways you can explore potential opportunities. Another way could be through special projects or small assignments where you are working in the HR area for 1 day/week. Consider doing some research also before you start. You will find more useful tips on the link below. Good luck! Cheers! Anoop http://www.career-change-mentor.com/career-research.html |

HP settles inkjet dispute with LexJet
Hewlett-Packard on Thursday announced it has dropped a patent infringement charge against LexJet Corporation over the type of ink used in remanufactured HP print cartridges.
In exchange, LexJet has agreed to alter the recipe used to make its ink as well as pay HP an undisclosed sum.
HP originally filed suit against Florida-based LexJet on May 22.
LexJet is one of many companies that take used HP ink cartridges and resell them with their own ink inside. It's a sensitive topic for HP, one of the world's largest producer of printers and ink cartridges, which has sued several … Read more
New Kodak wireless printers fix old mistakes
After our mediocre experience with Kodak's last offerings, the ESP 3 and ESP 5, we're happy to see Kodak fixing some of its old mistakes.
On Monday, the company announced two new products in the ESP line of desktop All-in-One printers. The ESP 7 and ESP 9 both feature secure Wi-Fi print servers for wireless connectivity and Kodak's newest intelligent paper tray system.

Both printers are available now and will be tested and … Read more
E-books: The flexible future
Interesting news from the DemoFall conference held this week in San Diego:
Plastic Logic--a company founded to commercialize electronics built on flexible plastic substrates--demonstrated a prototype e-book reader (not yet named) and announced that it plans to ship this product in the first half of next year. You can read the press release for yourself.
This particular gizmo is very attractive. It uses a large, flexible electronic paper display based on technology from E Ink (the same company that makes the displays for Amazon.com's Kindle and Sony's Reader), but the device overall is remarkably thin and light.
And the whole thing is somewhat flexible, so it won't break if it gets slightly bent in a backpack or briefcase. Flexible doesn't mean invulnerable, but it's a lot better than the brittle glass displays of existing e-book readers.
Check out this video from DEMOfall, in which Plastic Logic CEO Richard Archuleta demonstrates the prototype. I see some minor problems in the prototype's display--some dead lines and odd drawing glitches--but nothing that should interfere with the scheduled launch.
More importantly, even as a prototype, the display's contrast ratio seems to be better than that of the Kindle or Reader, mostly by virtue of the white being whiter--I'd have to make a direct comparison to be sure, though. I also see all of the critical features I want in an e-book reader: good display resolution… Read more
The 404 181: Where Natali is not selling her hair on eBay...yet.
On today's show, we reveal our favorite fragrances, briefly touch on the new Apple offerings, disappear into e-Ink, rip into the Geek Squad and Microsoft's new "gurus," send text messages to inanimate household objects, and try to convince Wilson to take a shower in public in the name of animal rights.
Don't bust out that checkbook yet, my friends, contrary to popular belief, Natali Del Conte's hair is not on eBay...yet. We'll be the first ones to break that news, but until then you'll just have to listen to our show to get your NDC fix. Lots of news to talk about today, which we get to right after we guess each other's favorite eau de liquid smells. No surprise here, but Jeff's is the sweet scent of Natali's hair that he creepily compares to a cherry lollipop. Anyway, we also get the scoop on a few more tech-related gems, including a story about energy companies testing a program that will send you a text message on behalf of your thermostat if you forget to turn it off when you leave the house. Hey, I'm all for energy conversation, but are ya kidding me!? So now, on top of ignoring text messages from my close friends and family members, I have to deal with spam from my household appliances, too!? I guess I can see it being useful when I forget to turn off the oven, but I'd prefer to get the news by driving up to a burning apartment rather than getting a text from my oven that says "Hey, dummy--you forgot to turn me off, so now I'm spitting hot fire at all your physical possessions. See you at home!" No thanks, gas company, you can keep the service--I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Canon's latest Pixma printers do triple duty
Canon introduced two new Pixma printers on Monday, August 11, the Pixma MP480 and Pixma MP190. Both of them are all-in-one printers, meaning they also do triple duty as scanners and copiers. These new models are supposedly ideal for both work and home, and include several new features that make the printing, scanning, and copying processes much easier for the end user. In addition, they also take on a slightly updated look from previous Pixma printers, with a sleek, but versatile, style incorporating flip-top LCD screens and a matte silver and black palette.
The $70 Pixma MP190 is a low-level … Read more

We had a great stay on the Hannus. It's in a perfect location (only 10 min from the historic downtown) and on a beautiful harbour close to many restaurants. Excellent breakfasts were included at the start of each day. This is a really unique place to stay and the common area is nice for meeting other guests. Only thing is the rooms do not have locks. We never had any problems with security however we would have felt more at ease if there had been a lock.

The description on the site makes the Ship look much fancier than it is. Cabins are TINY, with no space for luggage at all. WiFi is free, but only accecible on the deck and if you're lucky: it's a free town WiFi. It's rather humid on the ship (which, i guess, is natural), but combined with 15C temperatures on the outside it can be an issue. The boiler broke down at some point and there was no hot water in the shower for more that 12 hours. We fled the ship 3 nights earlier than planned.

The ship is a wonderfful & quirky venue & we thoroughly enjoyed our stay . It's only a 10-15 minute walk into the centre of Antwerp so the location is good - including the Beer Cafe only 10 metres away! However,the outside hatch as well as the individual cabin doors couldn't be locked from thed outside,so although the area is very friendly & safe there could be a security issue.

Disgruntled, disillusioned and disengagedNew Hansard Society research shows people turning away from national politicsIs coalition politics bad for political engagement?Audit of Political Engagement 9, Part One
The 2012 Hansard Society annual Audit of Political Engagement, published on April 25, shows that the public's growing sense of indifference to politics as highlighted in last year's Audit has hardened into something more serious as public attitudes become more negative:
The increased negativity of public attitudes in respect of key aspects of political engagement appears to be strongly linked to public attitudes to the current coalition government:
Respondents' attitudes to Parliament were also examined. Knowledge levels generally have remained stable at 40%; and 66% of the public acknowledge the crucial part that Parliament plays in our democratic system. Less positively:
The Audit continues to track the public's appetite for involvement in actual decision-making both locally and nationally:
Dr Ruth Fox, Director of the Hansard Society's Parliament and Government programme, and co-author of the report, commented:'2011 was one of the most turbulent and momentous years in recent history. But it appears that the economic crisis, the summer riots and phone hacking did not lead to any greater interest in or knowledge of politics. The public seem to be disgruntled, disillusioned and disengaged. Thus far, coalition politics does not appear to have been good for public engagement. Worryingly, only a quarter of the population are satisfied with our system of governing, which must raise questions about the long-term capacity of that system to command public support and confidence in the future.'For more information about the Audit of Political Engagement series click here.

How I became an Artist:
In 1988 I had reached a point with Song-writing that I could no longer express what I felt simply by writing 3 Verses a Bridge and a Chorus or even a Double Chorus.
I was living in Dingle and busking through the Summer from Easter to the end of September building up a bigger and bigger Repertoire of Songs that I performed over the Tourist Season.
I was living on top of a Mountain called Cnoc A Chorrain and had an amazing view of the entire Dingle Harbour on one side and Conor Pass the road to Ballyferriter on the other.
One day I was passing a Pound Shop on the Quays and saw a cheap set of Chinese Acrylic Paints in the window. Something in me seemed to want to buy them so I bought them and a Box of German Crayons. From these small beginnings I started painting. I bought a pack of Daler Paper which came in 16 sheets and began painting and drawing.
I had no Formal Art Training but had been reading the Works of Alice Miller for a number of years. Alice recommended Spontaneous Painting for getting at a deeper level of self awareness and that is what happened. What also happened was that as my Painting became more complex and involved my Song-writing became easier and easier.
I found that I was writing entire Songs almost effortlessly. Waking up with entire finished Songs running through my head. I also found that I stopped questioning whether what I did was Art of not.
I just painted exactly how I felt. I had my first piece of luck in 1989 when a Painting (the name of which has long since faded from my mind) was chosen for inclusion in the first Samlaoicht Ciarrai in Siamsa Tire The National Folk Theatre of Ireland. I held my First Solo Exhibition later that year in the Tigin Ban Gallery in Dingle and went from there to inclusion in the Annual Aer Rianta Exhibition in Shannon the 2nd Year of my Participation having one of my Paintings appear on the cover of the Exhibition Brochure. My final Exhibition in Tralee was entitled "Meditation at Teampaill Na Greine" and was a huge affair involving the entire Building.
The Gallery, The Theatre and the Foyer were all put to use. Christy Moore and Donal Lunney opened it and it drew one of the largest crowds ever to attend an Exhibition in Kerry. Draoicht a local Band with their Singer Mary O'Regan performed their own Original Material and then accompanied me through my Set. In 1992 I moved to Dublin and lived in Rathmines.
I painted my Next Exhibition in a converted bathroom in 22 Maxwell Road and in 1994 hung my final Exhibition in the form I was then working in at The Westbury Mall. It ran from February 1st 1994 to February 1st 1995 and was called "The Poets Way" The Band for the night were Kila and it was opened by Niall Toner the Musician and Broadcaster.
The majority of the Paintings were sold. In 1997 I began a new Exhibition painted on found wood, objects and different materials based around the premise that situation has no impact on the Creative Urge whatsoever. The thought occurred to me while reading about Giacometti and Picasso that they and other Artists trapped in Paris during WW2 would have had serious trouble finding materials with which to work and the result and a partly constructed Exhibition called "Vassily Vassilating" all pained on treated cardboard, old hessian sacks, rice sacks and other treated materials such as wood and linen shirt backs.
This Exhibition was never completed due to personal issues and then I stopped painting for 11 years as of this year. I have spent the time studying Artists such as Yves Klein and Derek Jarman amongst others with a view to changing the direction of my Art to cover more Multi Disciplinarian Areas, such as Sound, Poetry, Film, Painting and Music.

I oppose any release of terrorists with blood on their hands. Any promises and offers made by former PM Olmert are null and void.
source: http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomac...talks-1.449980A Palestinian minister said on Monday evening that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has rejected an offer by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to release security prisoners in exchange for the renewal of peace talks.
Palestinian Authority Minister of Prisoner Affairs Issa Qaraqe confirmed a Haaretz report that Netanyahu made an offer to release initially 25 Palestinian security prisoners convicted of murdering Israelis and the subsequent release of another 100 prisoners over four stages by the end of 2012.
Qaraqe said that Abbas rejected Netanyahu's offer, demanding instead that the prisoners be released at once and not over various stages.
"Abu Mazen (Abbas) demanded that all 123 prisoners incarcerated in Israel since before the Oslo Accords be released simultaneously," said Qaraqe. "Abu Mazen rejected Netanyahu's offer and called on the Israeli government to implement past agreements made with the ex-Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who promised to release numerous prisoners."

Bashir Ahmed Bilour laid to rest
PESHAWAR: Awami National Party (ANP)'s Senior Minister Bashir Ahmed Bilour was laid to rest at the Syed Hassan Pir graveyard on Sunday after his funeral prayers were offered at the Karnal Sher Khan Shaheed Satdium (Army stadium) in Peshawar Cantt area.
Presidential spokesman Farhattullah Babar and a large number of political leaders belonging various parties, including the Pakistan People's Party (PPP), Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz (PML-N), Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid ( PML-Q) among others, were present in the funeral procession.
A large number of ANP party workers and city residents also joined the procession of the slain ANP leader.
Around 2,000 personnel of the Army, police and FC were deployed around the stadium as part of strict security arrangements.
Bilour was buried in the Syed Hassan Pir graveyard next to the grave of Shabbir Ahmed Bilour, who was believed to be his son and had been adopted by his brother Federal Minister for Railways Ghulam Ahmed Bilour.
A national day of mourning was announced by the prime minister due to the tragedy.
Earlier today, the funeral prayer of Noor Mohammad Khan, Bilour's personal secretary for almost 25 years, was held in the Kakshal area of Peshawar following which the funeral was taken to his ancestral village for burial.
The funeral prayers and burial of Abdul Sattar Khan, a police Station House Officer (SHO) escorting Bilour, were also held earlier in the day.
FIR for the suicide blast incident that killed Bilour and eight others was registered at a police station in Peshawar.
Media is trying to glorify a politician turned 'martyr' while ignoring the 8 others who lost their life. Those who knew Bilour are well aware his contributions to this nation are negligible. He was only active for self-serving purposes and for building his family empire made of illegal gotten wealth. His name has become synonymous with corruption of all kinds, but the media has turned him into a martyr. May God forgive him.

Connect 2013, The Palm Springs Photo Festival website & registration will open November 15.THE OFFICIAL PHOTOPLUS PORTFOLIO REVIEW:
Jacob Javits Convention Center
New York CityReviewers participating in the Official Portfolio Review Program at PhotoPlus Expo are NOT paid for their participation. As a thank you, we offer each an expo pass, an invitations to our PhotoPlus Expo seminars and they are invited to our big bash each year. They review work in our program because of the high-quality of the portfolios presented, first and foremost – the best reason. We feel strongly that it would be inappropriate for photographers to be essentially paying reviewers to see their work. We align industry influencers who open a controlled window in their busy schedules for fact-to-face meetings with emerging and professional photographers who receive a free trade show pass with their registration.
Other events piggy-back on the PhotoPlus dates, but there is only one Official Portfolio Review Program at Photoplus Expo. Before attending other events, inquire if reviewers are compensated for their time. This is essential information you should know.
A few Reviewer's Comments
"You guys are good!!" –
"Thanks so much for a well organised and all in all very positive event.- Chris"
"I saw some very good work, and look forward to following up with the artists, and to participating again next year. My compliments for a seamlessly run, well vetted event. " – June
"I went to my first portfolio review at PDN Expo this year. I researched the reviewers carefully before I went. Saw 10 people. I got excellent constructive feedback. I was very happy with my investment in time and money. It was a great way to see several quality reviewers in a short amount of time. I plan to go back next year." – James
From Dan's Blog:
"It would have taken me a year, and a lot of time and expense to schedule the same number of meetings, providing of course it were even possible. And in that time I would not be able to develop as quick or complete a consensus on what was working best or least with the audience. Additionally, I would rather devote my energies to being a photographer and not a marketer. Allotting one week for a concentrated marketing/interaction made sense, and going forward allows me to use my time more wisely and productively. There's really no substitute for a face-to-face meeting. I believe both reviewer and photographer learned as much from what was spoken and was not. Seeing someone's expression as they look at each photo in the portfolio, and which photos elicited comments was valuable. Personally, I found the events energizing " – Dan
"It was really well done and thank you for that. I was impressed with the quality of the photographers and their professionalism. " – Jamie
A few Photographer's comments:
"I wanted to let you know that I had a very positive experience. I was completely accommodated — every reviewer in every requested slot. All reviewers were as advertised. Your descriptions allowed me to make relevant selections. Most reviewers liked what they saw and requested further communication — which could really be beneficial." – Nicholas
"Enjoyed the reviews very much. It had a good pace and all my meetings were very valuable. Will try and make it out to Palm Springs next year" – Winnie
"I had a wonderful experience and your staff was amazing. I have a stack of business cards and editors who want to develop a relationship." – Alex
"Portfolio reviews were great! Thanks for all of your and your team mate's hard work and resilience." – Tony
NEW YORK'S MOST COMPREHENSIVE PORTFOLIO REVIEW PROGRAM FOR EMERGING & PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS: OVER 1600 REVIEWS TOOK PLACE October 25-27 at Jacob Javits Convention Center.
Galleries, Museums, Advertising Agency creatives, Book Publishers, Magazine Photo Editors, Art Directors, Photographer's Reps, Stock Agencies, Photo Agencies, Educators and other influencers.
Why attend the Official Portfolio Reviews at PhotoPlus Expo?
The Official Portfolio Review Program at PhotoPlus Expo is the largest and most comprehensive portfolio review program for professional and emerging professional photographers in the United States, featuring over 175 influential professionals from both the commercial and fine art realms of contemporary photography. We'll offer close to 1600 reviews! Have your work reviewed and spend a day or two checking out all the latest gear from hundreds of exhibitors as well as attend your choices of over 100 important seminars. You select and prioritize the reviewers you want to meet with!
Every registrant for the Official Portfolio Review Program receives FREE admission to PhotoPlus Expo!
DEADLINE APPROACHING: The Portfolio Review program at PhotoPlus Expo pre-registration deadline to be able to select and prioritize your reviewers is October 11! Registrants after this date can choose from remaining available reviews only.
FACE TO FACE meetings can change careers!
Whether or not you live in NYC, you know how impossible it is to see the people who can give you jobs. Sure your rep should be able to get your book to the right people but the value of sitting with those people in a face-to-face meeting is immeasurable. You can see 5, 10, 15 or more of those influencers while visiting PhotoPlus Expo. The Official Portfolio Review at PhotoPlus Expo is the number one review program for professionals in NYC.
If you're a very serious and accomplished fine-art photographer, you can now bring your museum / gallery ready body of work to the attention of museum curators, gallery directors, book publishers and others who you would not normally find accessible in our program.

The Palm Springs Photo Festival at PhotoPlus Expo
__________________________________Other programs have a first-come, first served policy; if you register later than others, you miss out. You can be assigned random reviewers in "packages" as offered elsewhere or you can make your choices yourself, based on your work and your career, at the official New York Portfolio Review Program at PhotoPlus Expo. Our program allows you to choose your review appointments. We do our absolute best to guarantee you'll see 3 out of 5 of your chosen reviewers, and more in most cases (for those registering for more than 5 reviews, a minimum of two days is required).! The Portfolio Review at PhotoPlus Expo is designed to put you in front of the influencers you need to meet!
HERE IS HOW IT WORKS: Reviews are purchased in blocks of five. We will use our best efforts to guarantee at least three of every five reviewer choices (for 10 or more reviews, two day's attendance is required). All pre-registered attendees will receive three emails from us early in October reminding them that on Friday, October 12, they should log back into our registration site and make their selections. Attendees will be able to number them in order of preference as well. For those we can't allocate (unlikely), we will assign reviews from "like" affiliation reviewers. In other words, if the last two choices are from the Editorial affiliation, we'll use our best efforts to assign other magazine photo editors or art directors from a similar magazine category if we can't assign those selected. In addition, each morning beginning at 8:00 am, at the Javits Convention Center, attendees will be able to register for the reviews of their choice from those remaining if any. Reviews are by appointment only. Additional series of five, ten, fifteen or twenty reviews each may be purchased upon request. Attendees should be present in our waiting area at least 15 minutes before reviews. We reserve the option to allow others to take the review if attendees are not in the waiting area when the review is scheduled to begin.
Nothing is more important than face-to-face meetings in a time when arranging to meet the people that could change your career can be next to impossible. Attending our Portfolio Review program represents an incredible opportunity to obtain valued feedback and critiques as well as the possibility of new assignments and relationships.
If you don't live there, don't miss out! Plan your trip to New York City and spend three days meeting a huge cross-section of potential clients that you need to know. This event represents a fabulous opportunity to meet and present your work for critique and receive the advice of many of the the industry's top professionals. If you've been considering coming to New York to show your work, this is your opportunity! Attendees can choose up to 30 reviews to maximize the benefits of showing work to such a concentration of potential clients / representatives in both the commercial and fine art arenas. An attendee could easily take 6 or 7 reviews in each block of each day if desired. Then – Enjoy visiting hundreds of exhibitors and seeing thousands of new products!
Again, this opportunity is open only to professional and emerging professional photographers.
Note: If you have an extremely arcane or unusual specialty, please call us before registering so we can discuss potentially appropriate reviewers with you.
REGISTER NOW for five, ten or fifteen 20-minute sessions with top Creative Directors, Museum Curators, Ad Agency Art Directors, Magazine Art Directors and Photo Editors, Artist's Reps, Gallery Directors, Record company Creative Directors, Book Publishers and others.
We assure our reviewers that they'll see work from emerging or professional photographers only, therefore attendees must have a website that substantiates their status.
Cost: $275 for 5 reviews.
Discounts: 10% for 10 or more reviews. Discounts cannot be combined with other association offers.Once at the Javits, if an attendee has not arrived in time for their review, we'll open that review up on a first-come-first-served basis.
We will have a special desk where attendees will be able to check their portfolios before or after their review(s) so that they can explore PhotoPlus Expo.
Our review blocks are scheduled on each of the three days as follows:
Block One: 9:00am – 11:25am [six 20-minute review segments]
Block Two: 11:40am – 2:05pm [six 20-minute review segments]
Block Three 2:20pm – 5:10pm [seven 20-minute segments]Because of the time-sensitive nature of reserving portfolio reviews, we can only refund 100% of your registration fees until Friday, October 5th, 2012. Between October 5 and October 12 we can refund 50% of your registration fees in case of cancellation, and after October 13th, no refunds will be made.
"I just wanted to extend my gratitude for all of the work and (what must have been) painstaking organization that went into the portfolio reviews held at the Javitz Center last weekend. I showed my portfolio to five reviewers and found the experience to be exponentially more valuable than I had ever expected. I thank you all so much for the opportunity to personally connect with industry professionals I've been trying to meet with for years." – Adam
"I really enjoyed the process of reviewing portfolios, you organized it very well so my time was well spent. I thought my group of photographers was varied and a good fit-they all seemed to understand what my particular experience would bring to the discussion." – Francesca
"I had a wonderfully diverse group of skilled photographers today whose work I had the pleasure to view." – Susan
"The reviews went very well. I had some wonderful conversations with the photographers and plan to stay in touch with a couple of them for future projects." – Michael
"Thank you again so much for running this event! I must say it was one of the most fruitful reviews I have attended in terms of the reviewers I had managed to show my work to and connect with, and it was also the most organized and well run review that I have had the pleasure to participate in…" – Mimi
"I really enjoyed doing the reviews and would be happy to participate again! It was great to see so much work. It was a really well organized event! " – Kaia
"Thank you for including me in the Portfolio Review Program. I really enjoyed participating and I feel that the photographers I met with enjoyed the process and event." – Jodi
"…It's the world's greatest job fair for professional photographers in the only city that could possibly host such an event."
"…not only did I see eight of the most difficult to reach editors and art buyers, I loved being at PhotoPlus Expo and checking out all the new gear…"

International Days of Truth Action
Truth Action Ottawa - September 11, 2009 - 9/11 Truth Action and Loose Change Screening
Truth Action Ottawa took to the streets in Ottawa's trendy Glebe neighbourhood on September 11, 2009. We stood at a busy highway off-ramp with our huge AE911Truth sign, handed out 300 discs on the street and then marched to the Mayfair Theatre for the Canadian theatrical premiere of Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup. The screening itself went extremely well, and the movie received a sustained ovation at the end.

Last Minute Idea for Action on June 11th - TODAY!
Need a good idea for an action today?
Glenn Beck's Common Sense Comedy Tour's last night is TONIGHT JUNE 11th, just in time to incorporate the tour into your STREET ACTION! God really does have a terrific sense of humor.
I guess this is a rebroadcast of some taped comedy show that is playing out in movie theaters everywhere across the nation.
Quote from website:
Due to popular demand for Glenn Beck's theater events, an ENCORE screening will take place the following Thursday, June 11th. This show will be recorded live on June 4th and is being rebroadcast in select theaters on June 11th so you don't miss out on Glenn Beck's summer 2009 comedy tour.
Anyway, here is a list of cities, theaters and times.

Putting up just ONE informational poster in a prominent place in your community could potentially affect hundreds or even thousands of people. You never know who you'll wake up!

Copenhagen Truth Action
The second month of Eleventh actions in Copenhagen, Denmark
Christina reports:
We have a courageous professor of chemistry from the University who lectures about WTC7 so this time we've been out with flyers spreading the word. Our group on http://i11time.dk (where people demand a REAL investigation and stand forth with a photograph of themselves and their name) is growing day by day!
Action at Town Hall square:
Barcelona Truth Action
An Eleventh Day of Every Month action report, courtesy of propan0:
First of all, much respect to all groups taking part - you are a true inspiration!
Ok, here's our report from Barcelona, Spain:
We were 4 dedicated soldiers, armed with about 500 flyers, DVDs, and what is turning out our best weapon: an information panel that you can see (overburned by the sun) below.
Our strategy is simple: find a very crowded walking-only area with enough space not to get harassed by police, and set up the panel. Immediately we see people congregating around it and studying the information in it with great interest.
First eleventh of the month action in Copenhagen
January 11, 2009 saw the campaign for International Days of Truth Action spread to Copenhagen, Denmark. Mik writes, "14 truthers of Copenhagen group who met on i11time.dk, in action with banners and handouts on town hall square. Nice contacts with people, even on a sunday." Join us in action in your community on February 11, the second anniversary of the campaign and the first 11th action under Obama. We're not stopping until justice!

One Year Anniversary of Action on Every Eleventh
February 11 2008 marks the one year anniversary of the autonomous grassroots campaign for International Days of Truth Action on the Eleventh Day of Every Month until Justice.
Over the past year we have seen these days of united action spread from three locations in the US - San Francisco, New York City and Louisville - to scores of locations in countries around the world. As more and more cities and towns joined us - Sydney, Calgary, Berlin, London, Barcelona, Stockholm - we set in motion an international momentum for justice that will not be denied.
We have seen the powerful simplicity of the concept behind this campaign take root in the mind of the movement at large and spread action for 9/11 truth around the world. We have seen actions as diverse as the people from all walks of life who make up this movement for justice. In many locations we have seen new local groups spring to life due to the initiative of one or two brave activists deciding to join us in solidarity - willing to stand alone for truth and inspiring other to join them in action.
What we have started can not be stopped. It can not be stopped by the silence nor the slander of a corporate media complicit in the coverup of the crime of the century. It can not be stopped by politicians too fearful to afford dignity to the demands of the family members. It can not be stopped by desperate disinformation or the misdirection of limited hangouts. And it will not be stopped by a business-as-usual regime rotation in the land of the less than free.
We are set on a course for justice and we are not going away until we get it.
It's not about taking action on only one day a month. It's about taking action every day in every way possible to create visibility and spread awareness and on the eleventh day taking action TOGETHER - around the world - knowing that we will keep coming back until we get where we're going. That's what action on every Eleventh says... we're not stopping until Justice.
My deepest gratitude and respect for everyone who takes action for 9/11 truth.

Standing For 9/11 Truth
Ottawa 9/11 Truth featured in The PEN, a local Ottawa paper.
Ottawa 9/11 Truth is one of an ever growing number of local groups around the world that have come together through the courageous initiative of one or two people going out ALONE on the Eleventh Day of the month and taking action for 9/11 truth. Through their determination and persistence - and willingness to stand alone for the truth - they have slowly but surely attracted others to join them in their action. We are spreading the truth around the world, we are growing and we aren't stopping until justice. February 11 marks the one year anniversary of the campaign for International Days of Truth Action. Isn't it time you joined us?

Boston Tea Party for Truth Goes International on Truth Revolution Radio
Jason King was the guest on last Friday's edition of Truth Revolution Radio and we talked about the upcoming second annual Boston Tea Party for 9/11 Truth. During the course of the conversation we heard from activist John Bursill who announced that Australia would be joining in this year's action. This episode also includes a passionate speech from family member Bob McIlvaine, recorded in Philadelphia on July 4, 2007.
Boston Tea Party for 9/11 Truth
Truth Revolution Radio is the official broadcast of truthaction.org and can be heard live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9 pm pacific on We The People Radio Network.
A Message for the 11th and all 9/11 Truth Actions taking place
I posted this on the Truth Action forums, but I think it may be valuable for anyone involved with 9/11 Truth Activism. The 11th of the Month street actions are having a serious effect, so I hope everyone joins us tomorrow for some international street outreach. This is a message for those taking part in activism which has organized around 9/11 Truth specifically. Find your locations and spread the word...http://www.truthaction.org
from the post:
I can't wait to hit the streets with you all again! We have some seriously informed activists planning on showing up so this should be a great 11th of the Month. After the actions I have taken part in, and recent issues I have seen being discussed among 9/11 Truth activists, I felt the need to write out some advice to help us focus our efforts in 9/11 Truth Activism.

Found November 22, 2012 on
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant is having a breakout month in the NFL and seems to have had the light finally go on for him.
Bryant is now dominating loudly on the field, and going about his business quietly off of it, which helps a lot of Cowboys fans doing NFL betting (click here) at Top Bet.
That's a change from the drama that followed him early this season with altercations with his mother, being placed on franchise house arrest and a myriad of other situations. Bryant, for his part, has taken the bulk of the responsibility for that, and during a candid interview with ESPN Dallas, admitted he knows he needed to make changes in his life.
"Let me tell you something, my relationship with my mom is great," said Bryant, who has 15 catches for 232 yards and two touchdowns during the Cowboys' two-game winning streak. "Even after the fact, it's great. I don't want to get into it much, but when it happened in our eyes, it was overblown. I love my mom. My mom loves me. Everything is great between us."
Bryant answered honestly about the structure and quote on quote franchise house arrest he was placed on, and says he can appreciate discipline and structure he was lacking early in his life.
"I don't want to make excuses, but people brought up differently see different things, been in different things — having two parents, having no parents," said Bryant, the doting father of sons Zayne, 5, and Dez Jr., 2. "It's different. I just feel like it's been a learning process for me my whole life, and I'm just getting to it. I got real responsibilities I feel like I'm handling the right way. I'm enjoying my life the way I should have been enjoying it a long time ago."
Bryant's most loyal supporter, Jerry Jones, feels strongly that Dez is moving in the right direction.
"In general, I feel that Dez is maturing everywhere," Jones said. "Now that's not to say that he won't go out there and run the wrong route. We don't want him running the wrong route off the field. The point is, without trying to be cute, Dez is improving. But the risk is here that he's on the field in the glaring spotlight for the Cowboys and off the field for the Cowboys. So I'm reluctant — we all are — to say, 'Boy, Dez is doing good.' Dez is doing better."
Bryant again admits the change has been slow, but he is changing.
"We focus on small things, it will eventually turn into big things," Bryant said. "Small, positive things turn into big, positive things. As long as I keep doing the right things, all the things that happen are positive things."

Unearthed skeletons in London shed light on Black Plague
DNA in bones could answer perplexing historical questions
Laid underneath busy London walkways for centuries, a group of recently unearthed skeletons may soon give researchers answers about life during the Great Plague. Concealed by thousands of tons of earth and rubble, the DNA within the nine sets of remains would unlock a mystery that has baffled and divided medical minds for generations: what caused the Black Death in 1348?
The skeletons will be reburied on the site or at a cemetery after the analysis is complete.
The human remains were more than eight feet below a road between Farringdon and Barbican Tube stations, leading some online humorists to suggest they probably died waiting for a Circle Line train.
The bodies, in fact are believed to have been among the 1.5 million Britons who died when the plague swept through Europe. During the time of the Great Pestilence, emergency mass graves were dug. Contrary to what was believed, the corpses were not simply thrown in, but men and women were placed side by side in uniform rows, often with hands folded across the torso.
A similar skeleton formation was found in the 1980s at nearby Smithfield, and as many as 50,000 might have been buried in the area over three years.
"This is a highly significant discovery and at the moment we are left with many questions that we hope to answer," Crossrail lead archaeologist Jay Carver said.
"We will be undertaking scientific tests on the skeletons to establish their cause of death, whether they were plague victims from the 14th century or later residents, how old they were and perhaps evidence of who they were.
"However, at this early stage all points towards this being part of the 14th-century emergency burial ground."
Around a third of the population of Britain died in the Black Death. Estimates of how many perished in Europe and elsewhere vary between 25 million and 200 million, making it the most destructive pandemic in human history.
DNA analysis of European victims has suggested that the Yersinia pestis bacterium was responsible, but many scientists believe the infection was a rapidly-spreading virus.
DNA experts are working with archaeologists at the Farringdon site to try to identify the exact cause from bone samples. The skeletons will be reburied on the site or at a cemetery after the analysis is complete.

Hey, everyone. I'm new to posting threads. I usually read them, and leave. I'm trying to get more serious about my training, and how/what I cycle. So please feel free to lend your advice.
Before playing Football this last season, I cycled Test P/T-bol and my PCT was Nolva. It worked well for me. My body fat fell to 10% (from 16%), weighed 230 (from 205), and my speed/agility was improved. Also thanks to a good diet and training routine. After the season, the lazy bug hit me. I was worn out, I just wanted to eat everything in sight. So for a good 6-7 months, I ate like crap, and barely worked out. But thanks to my PCT, I didn't look like complete crap (but weighed 240, not good considering my strength and looks). I decided to get serious again, so I started working out (a lot of cardio), dieting to cut down before I start up another cycle. So here are my stats as of now...
Age: 23
Weight: 225
Height: 6'3"
Body fat: 13%
My proposed 14 week cycle...
Weeks 1-10 (Juice)
Test E: 500mg weekly (250mg, twice a week), weeks 1-10
Deca: 300mg weekly (once a week), weeks 1-10
HCG: 500iu weekly (once a week), weeks 1-10
D-bol: 350mg weekly (50mg daily), weeks 1-5
Weeks 10-14 (PCT)
Nolva: 280mg weekly (40mg daily for 2 weeks) THEN 140mg weekly (20mg daily for last 2 weeks), weeks 10-14
All of this along with a challenging lifting routine, and a solid 4000 plus calorie diet.
The dosages may seem lower than most cycles, but mind you, it is my second cycle, and I don't want to be completely reliant on a overloaded cycle to be fit. So overall, what do you all think?

Household debt and social interactions
Debt-induced crises, including the subprime, are usually attributed exclusively to supply-side factors. We examine the role of social influences on debt culture, emanating from perceived average income of peers. Utilizing unique information from a household survey representative of the Dutch population, that circumvents the issue of defining the social circle, we consider collateralized, consumer, and informal loans. We find robust social effects on borrowing, especially among those who consider themselves poorer than their peers; and on indebtedness, suggesting a link to financial distress. We employ a number of approaches to rule out spurious associations and to handle correlated effects.

The Global: Implications for Research and The Curriculum
University-wide symposium features Professor Arjun Appadurai '70 and Brandeis faculty
On April 8 and 9, 2008, the Office of Global Affairs hosted a symposium designed to stimulate discussion among the Brandeis community about implications of "the global" -- the forces sometimes called "globalization" -- on all aspects of university life. The two-day series of events covered a range of topics on these implications, from collaborative research to new curricular methods, from community engagement to the very mission and purpose of the U.S. research university.
The symposium built upon the multi-dimensional work of Arjun Appadurai '70, a renowned anthropologist and Brandeis alumnus currently teaching at the New School for Social Research in New York City. Prof. Appadurai is a former Wien International Scholar at Brandeis, part of a distinguished group of international student leaders who for 50 years have enriched the university with global perspectives.
Over 75 faculty, students, and staff participated in the events, and many faculty joined Appadurai in helping lead individual sessions. The participants were drawn from across the university, including the International Business School and Heller School for Social Policy and Management.

Scholarly research from a variety of disciplines has deepened our understanding of institutions, ideas, and forces that cross national boundaries. In turn, new facets of "the global" (and related concepts of the international, the transnational, and the intercultural) have forced scholars to rethink fundamental assumptions, and to chart new lines of theory and inquiry. This session featured brief accounts of current research undertaken by Professor Appadurai and selected Brandeis faculty members.

During an informal lunch, Professor Appadurai and faculty, students and staff at Brandeis talked about their work in community-based research and learning, including projects from Africa to India to Waltham. As an extension of his work as a scholar, Professor Appadurai has been a principal in founding a non-governmental organization called PUKAR [Partners for Urban Knowledge, Action and Research] in Mumbai, India. He argues for a fresh approach that he calls "documentation as intervention" - developing mutual links between community, research, and activism. The discussion centered on similar projects at Brandeis and future possibilities for faculty, student, and community interaction.

What do students need to know, and what skills do they need, to lead productive, fulfilling lives in the era of globalization? Does the current Brandeis undergraduate curriculum meet those needs? Is there an inherent conflict between knowledge, values, and skills, given the time constraints of an undergraduate career? Do we wish to ensure that all students acquire greater global knowledge and skills, or is it sufficient that we provide opportunities for those students who want broader and deeper study in relevant fields? Finally, are there other vehicles (for instance, in the co-curriculum through structured experiences) for students to gain an enduring international/intercultural perspective in all disciplines and professions? Professor Appadurai offered some initial thoughts, drawing on his experience at several institutions of higher education; selected Brandeis faculty also presented brief remarks about what we currently offer, and where we might go.
The Office of Global Affairs
The Office of Global Affairs (OGA) was created in 2007 to enhance collaboration between the Brandeis community and support international activities, programs, research and service. The OGA will build connections between the University's many ongoing activities in the international arena, strengthen the public profile of our global programs, identify new resources for international projects, and develop a strategic vision for "Global Brandeis."

i will give 2 pts out of 10 .
If u r new then may be it is ok but if u played early with EA sports cricket game then it is totally disappointment u.
There is no autoplay option in that means mandatory u have to bowl and bat both.
FlipKart service is excellent.(10 outof 10)
Earlier flipkart used to sell for Rs 226/- and now the World Cup is over, it has raised the price for the game which isn't good. Bad graphics. Bad game for such a big sport. Don't buy.
Hi Guys...
Don't buy this game... better go for EA Sports 2007 or Cricket Ashes... As this Game lacks in graphics... very boring too...
To hit a ball u need change the position, i.e., u can't control the direction by using ur arrows.. if u need to hit straight first u need to adjust the postion then press Space bar... similarly for other directions also...
very boring game by Zapak... better go for EA which is good in all aspects...
and more over the game is in 640*480 resolution, which is not good... I didn't find any option to increase the resolution...
The game didnt work in my pc
ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 is the very first officially ICC licensed video game featuring licensed teams, players and kits from the world cup. It however does not feature all the stadiums. The game design is very much similar to 'Cricket Revolution', a game by the same developer - Mindstorm Studios (a startup in Pakistan). The game overall is inferior to EA Cricket 07 and Codemasters' Ashes 2009. However, considering the price of the game and it being an officially licensed product, it is a good buy for cricket fans.
A mediocre game. Just don't waste your money after it. Don't be fooled. There are other cricket games here on flipkart give the...
