After earning $271 million in worldwide box office (so far), New Line Cinema wants a sequel to follow the success of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island and they want it soon. Like 2014 soon.
THR reports that Journey 3 (working title) is on the fast track to be in theaters in two years, and already has Journey 2 screenwriters Mark and Brian Gunn and director Brad Peyton set to return. The third installment will also be based on the works of 19th century French writer Jules Verne. Peyton revealed that he is excited about directing the sequel — likely because it means he won't have to direct a follow-up to his 2010 sequel Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore.
I grew up a fan of Verne, so I know a lot about the mythologies. Mysterious Island was one of eight or nine really seminal works. I know we've just scratched the surface of what we can do. This one's going to be a lot bigger. We're going to go to a completely different world. It's just going to be a bigger experience, and we're going to grow the mythology. Journey 2 was about rebooting a franchise; now it's about making the seminal work in the franchise.

Scottish Football Museum event: 19 November
The Accies Trust would like to thank Richard McBrearty, of the the Scottish Football Museum, for his excellent talk at the Trust event on the 19th of November.
Richard spoke for over an hour, showed some fascinating slides of Scottish football and Accies memorabilia and told some great stories of the Scottish part in the globalisation of football. We also had a great display of supporters memorabilia – programmes, photos, magazines etc, and some were of considerable antiquity. There was lots of interest in the display.
Peter McLeish made a welcome appearance with some great old photos and a host of memories.
We would also like to thank everyone who turned out on what was a very stormy night.
The Trust remains very grateful to Alex and Ross White at Chambers Catering for their outstanding support of the event.
Richard has kindly written a piece on the Hamilton Academical collection the Scottish Football Museum holds; which we have produced below.
"As one of Scotland's oldest senior football clubs Hamilton Accies have an important place within the Scottish Football Museum. The museum has built up a significant collection of items relating to Accies but it is an ongoing policy to collect objects which will help us to chart the history of the club since it's inception in 1874. The records held by the museum are very impressive and date back to the mid 1870s.
A significant resource for anyone wishing to trace the early history of many of Scotland's senior football clubs are the Scottish FA Annuals.
The museum has a complete set of them stretching from 1875/76 to 1899/1900. These annuals provide fascinating information on clubs affiliated to the Scottish FA as the annuals provided contact details and club information for match secretaries and enabled club officials to contact each other in order to organise friendly matches (particularly for the years prior to the introduction of league football in Scotland when most games would have been friendlies). The club's entry in the annual of 1876/77 can be seen below.
For supporters who are thinking of researching the club's history, the museum's archive is a very useful tool. Our newspaper archive starts from around 1875 and runs until 1990. Articles relating to the Scottish Cup finals of 1911 and 1935 can be found within this collection.
The SFA Player and Club registers are also held by the museum and these date from the advent of professionalism within the Scottish game (1893). Players who have signed for the club can therefore be traced by consulting this important resource.
Items belonging to individual players and managers add a distinctive quality to the Accies collection. An early 20th Century football medal awarded to Stanley George Baxter, who was the club's match secretary, features within the collection. Baxter, in his role as match secretary, can also be seen in an early Accies team line up which is held by the museum. Colour has been added to the black and white picture giving the familar hooped strip the rather unusual tint of cerise and french grey.
There are many collectable cards which feature Accies players from the early to mid 20th century. The image on the right is a notable example of a 'cigarette card', and features an Accies legend of the period, Jock Davie.
A Lanarkshire Cup medal and players contract relating to John M Paterson and dating from 1924 forms part of the collection while football shirts relating to Accies players from yesteryear also feature. Our earliest Accies shirt, currently on display, dates from the 1960s and was acquired at auction while a Kevin McKee shirt dating from the late 1980s and signed by the full squad is also held by the museum.
Thanks to the recent addition of the Scottish Football League Collection under a long term loan agreement many Accies programmes are now cared for by the museum. The vast majority date from 1980 until 2000 as every home programme for each season was collected by the SFL over this period. The museum has built up a small collection of Accies programmes from the 1970s but this is an active collecting area as there is an acknowledged weakness in the Accies programme collection prior to 1980.
Photographs on the club also feature within the museum's collection. Perhaps the best photographic record of the club is the Charlie McBain collection. From the late 1950s to the early 1990s Charlie, a press photographer, captured matches at Douglas Park. The image on the left is taken from an Accies v Third Lanark match from the early 1960s. As a football image it is of course fascinating for supporters but there is also wider civic and social history significance to the photograph. The County Buildings were being constructed at the time of the match and cranes can be seen in the distance."
Richard told some horror stories of individuals and clubs throwing away memorabilia. If you have any memorabilia relating to Accies or Scottish football then please contact Richard via this link.

weekend bump
I'm selling the original bumper from my GTI. Not sure how involved it is to fix this bumper, but I don't want it in my garage anymore. There are two punctures: the one on the left of the bumper is barely broken through unlike the hole on the right. The hole opening is about 1 inch. Again not sure how extensive it is to fix and the whole bumper will need a respray. Willing to ship just have to figure out what's the best way to ship something this big. Price is $75 OBO. Thanks.

Will it help sound mining or mining companies?
The traditional agricultural system of Koraput (Odisha) has been recognized by the FAO as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Site (GIAHS) at the recently concluded 99th Science Congress. This recognition is for outstanding contribution to promoting food security, biodiversity, indigenous knowledge and cultural diversity for sustainable and equitable development.

As I write this my city Delhi is drowning. It started raining early this morning and within a few hours the city has come to a standstill. The television is showing scenes of traffic snarled up for hours, roads waterlogged and people and vehicles sunk deep in water and muck. The meteorological department records that some 60 mm of rain has fallen in just about 6 hours; 90 mm in 24 hours; and with this the city has made up for its deficit of rainfall this season. In other words, in just about 24 hours Delhi and its surrounding areas got half as much rain as they would in the entire month of September. Delhi, like all growing cities of India, is mindless about drainage. Storm water drains are either clogged or do not exist. Our lakes and ponds have been eaten away by real estate. Land is what the city values, not water. So when it rains more than it should the city drowns.
My article last fortnight about people's fight against POSCO has brought me interesting responses. They call for clarifications and further discussion. The question is about the value of current livelihoods of the people of coastal Odisha. Is earning from betel nut farming being exaggerated to reinforce the romantic and misinformed view that people are fighting projects because they are better off today? The equally valid question, then, is: why are the people so apparently poor if they are earning Rs 10-17 lakh per hectare (ha) each year as I had said?

No compensation from steel major Jindal, allege Odisha people
In the years to come, India's expanding steel production will be largely driven by sponge iron. Sponge iron, also known as direct reduced iron(DRI), is produced from direct reduction of iron ore (in the form of lumps, pellets or fines) by a reducing gas produced from natural gas or coal. Sponge iron gives a cheaper way of producing steel which has a high demand in the market.

Two tribal villages in Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra—Mendha Lekha and Marda— savoured victory when they won community rights over their forest resources in August last year. The rights conferred under the Forest Rights Act of 2006 include the right to collect and sell minor forest produce (MFP). These include tendu leaves used in beedis, and bamboo that have high commercial value and were under the forest department's control. Winning the right to manage these resources meant economic liberation to the two villages.

The Other Sister
MPAA Rating : PG-13
Year of Release : 1999
Stars : Juliette Lewis (Carla Tate), Diane Keaton (Elizabeth Tate), Tom Skerritt (Radley Tate), Giovanni Ribisi (Daniel McMann), Poppy Montgomery (Caroline Tate), Sarah Paulson (Heather), Linda Thorson (Drew), Joe Flanigan (Jeff), Juliet Mills (Winnie), Hector Elizondo (Ernie)
If you happen to make the unfortunate decision to see "The Other Sister," which should be subtitled "Or, How Shallow Rich People Deal With Their Mentally Retarded Daughter," do yourself the favor of leaving after the first hour. This is a film that starts off on questionable grounds, quickly reaches a low plateau of mere watchability, and then willfully plummets headlong into patent absurdity and almost offensive triviality.
"The Other Sister" tackles a subject--the life and livelihoods of the mentally challenged--in a way few other Hollywood movies do by making it the center of the story. And, for about the first fifteen minutes, it appears that the film might actually have something interesting to say about it. The film opens with Carla Tate (Juliette Lewis), a young woman in her mid-twenties finally coming home after spending ten years in a special boarding school. The reunion with her father (Tom Skerritt), a wealthy doctor, is tentative and unsure. On the plane ride home, they share a few laughs and the tension begins to ease.
But then they get home, and Carla is immediately smothered by her perfectionist mother, Elizabeth (Diane Keaton), who is determined to make up for the last decade by turning Carla into a proper young socialite with tennis lessons and etiquette tips. The lack of common ground between mother and daughter is readily apparent, and some of the scenes between Lewis and Keaton are nicely written and well acted. We get a sense that Elizabeth wants to help her daughter, but she doesn't know how because she doesn't understand Carla. Elizabeth wants Carla to be like her, which is something that will never happen.
Then, about half an hour into the movie, the real subject surfaces: romance. Carla meets Daniel McMann (Giovanni Ribisi), a mentally challenged young man who she meets at the community polytechnic college where she's taking computer classes in an effort to be more independent. Carla and Daniel start off as friends, but after a viewing of "The Graduate," he asks her to be his girlfriend. She accepts, and it isn't long before they are venturing into physical intimacy, helped along the way by a copy of "The Joy of Sex."
Even here, in this decidedly delicate area, "The Other Sister" isn't all that bad. However, it is right about this time that movie starts to loose its footing, as co-writer/director Garry Marshall ("Pretty Woman") begins to alternate sporadically between heavy-lidded sentiment and goofy physical comedy. Any sense of realism, any notion of how these people might really live their lives, is thrown to the wind as Marshall lays it on thicker and heavier. The movie comes to pieces in a simply awful scene at a dinner party where Daniel gets drunk on 110-proof liqueur, takes over the microphone on stage where someone had been giving a toast, and proceeds to confess his love for Carla and tell the rest of the audience that they "did it." This turns the whole party upside down, and it ends in a screeching, nerve-ripping shouting match that involves just about every major character.
If you took my advice in the first paragraph, you will have left by this point. But, if you decide to stick around, you will be treated to the worst the movie has to offer, including a ludicrous "rescue" sequence that is intended to be an homage to "The Graduate," complete with the Lemonheads' 1991 cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson" on the soundtrack. This culminates in an atrocious scene at the wedding of Carla's older sister, where Daniel gets her attention by lobbing marshmallows from the balcony onto the ceremony. And it only gets worse from there, as Carla and her mother engage in yet another screaming match, this one on a golf course.
"The Other Sister" is a decidedly confused movie, and I think it stems from Marshall's misdirected belief--firmly rooted in his successful bid to tell a Cinderella story with a prostitute in "Pretty Woman," no doubt--that he can make any subject matter work as a gushy romantic comedy. You would think he had learned his lesson with "Exit to Eden" (1994), in which he tried to make a comedy out of S&M, but apparently that movie's abysmal failure was lost on him. In fact, the screenplay for "The Other Sister" was co-written by Marshall and his "Exit to Eden" co-scenarist, Bob Brunner.
The title alone is misleading as to the movie's actual subject matter. Identifying Carla as "The Other Sister" seems to suggest that there is something different and notable about her two older sisters and how they relate to the Tate family; but, in fact, they are one-dimensional background figures who barely register except in terms of their shortcomings. The middle sister, Caroline (Poppy Montgomery) is an unimaginative flake whose wedding is interrupted by Daniel's marshmallow-throwing; the oldest sister, Heather (Sarah Paulson), is described by Elizabeth as "a gay workaholic."
In fact, Elizabeth doesn't seem to like any of her daughters, which removes any dramatic uniqueness from her inability to deal with Carla. Why shouldn't she have problems with Carla when she has problems with her other two daughters, her husband, even the doctor at Carla's school? She proves her shallow materialism by labeling Caroline an "underachiever" because she wants to teach elementary school, and she displays her hypocrisy not accepting Heather's lesbianism even though she supports gay rights. The father reminds her that at least their children aren't serial killers or Democrats (whatever that means), but it's all to no avail. Keaton's character is a truly dislikable person whose unsurprising 180-degree reversal in the last five minutes is wholly unconvincing.
In terms of acting, both Juliette Lewis and Giovanni Ribisi (last seen in "Saving Private Ryan") are convincing in their physical mannerisms and vocal inflections. They also manage to give their characters a few shreds of subtlety, although all of it is lost by the time the movie passes the dreaded two-hour mark. It doesn't sound nice to say, but Lewis' Carla becomes quite irritating by the final half hour. She is intended to be strong and determined because she wants to live on her own and marry Daniel, but she comes off as shrill and annoying after more than two hours. Even though Keaton turns the mother into an icily shallow social climber, you can't help but feel for her when Carla goes into yet another one of her temper tantrums.
What's most unfortunate about "The Other Sister" is that it shows a major Hollywood production is seemingly incapable of dealing with delicate subject matter like mental retardation. There have been successful depictions of characters with mental handicaps, most notably Leonardo DiCaprio's Oscar-nominated performance in the infinitely superior "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" (1993), a movie that truly understands its characters and how they would relate to each other. The real problem with "The Other Sister" is that Marshall and Co. aren't really interested in exploring the ramifications of mental retardation in modern society or even specifically within the Tate family. Instead, they use it is as a gimmick to put a "new" twist on old romantic material, a truly disingenuous gesture.

The estimated $7.9-billion Nabucco Gas Pipeline, owned by the Nabucco Gas Pipeline International Gmbh consortium, is being built to help Europe bypass Russia and reduce its reliance on gas from that country.
The construction of the 2,051-mile pipeline will take place from 2010 to 2014 and will comprise two major stages. The first phase, beginning in 2010, entails building the entire new route from Turkey's borders with Iran and/or Georgia to Baumgarten, Austria. Following this phase, the existing pipeline facilities between the Turkish/Georgian and Iranian borders will be used for a two-year period in order to link the new pipeline to the Turkish borders.
The second phase, from 2013 to 2014, calls for installing compressor stations at key points along the route to continuously increase capacity up to 31 bcm/y by 2017.

The love of the ignorant can be harmful yet even the anger of the Enlightened is not harmful. It can be only good!
An example is the school at the Art of Living Ashram in Bangalore. 250 children are enrolled but only 200 come to class on any given day. Fifty children don't show up. Why? They cry at home, "Mother, I don't want to go to school."
The mother says, "Oh, la la, don't cry . . . ok." She thinks, "No child in the world is like my child." And so she sticks up for the child and begins to speak for him. She does not see the teacher's point of view. The mother asks the teacher, "Why are you not teaching my child properly? He is so innocent, so lovely." So, what happens -- the child grows up spoiled. The love in the mother's ignorance has spoiled the child. The child will never learn the alphabet, never learn to read or write, but the mother says, "Oh, never mind, there are sheep to look after and fields to tend." The mother's love in ignorance has spoiled the child.
The anger of the Enlightened is a blessing. There are many instances of this in the Puranas. Once a Master was traveling in the middle province of India with a disciple following him a few yards behind. Some boys who were rude, rough, and abusive began to throw stones and tease the disciple calling him names. This went on for some time as the boys followed the Master and the disciple. They came to a river. The Master and the disciple got into a boat in order to cross. The boys got in another boat which started to sink in the middle of the river.
The Master slapped the disciple across the face. The disciple was so surprised as he had not said a word back to the boys in response to their taunts. He had been such a good disciple and yet the Master had slapped him!
The Master said, "It is your fault. You are responsible for their boat sinking. You did not respond to their abuse. Nature has now punished them in a worse way because you did not have enough compassion to quell their insults."
The slap that the Master gave took away the karma of this event such that it would not be carried into the future of the boys. It also served to take away any little bit of joy the disciple may have felt at seeing the boys' boat sink! Thus, it also took away the karma of the event for the disciple. So, the anger of the Enlightened is a blessing!

This cross was created in the province of Tigray, near the Red Sea, the birthplace of Ethiopia's earliest kingdom and of Christianity in Africa. A small corpus of Ethiopian Christian works from before the seventeenth century has survived. This exceptional creation, in which a highly unusual interplay of materials affords rich tonal contrasts, is a tour de force. The solidity of the carved-wood structure is permeated by finely applied metal inlays. The complexity of this work, with each side elaborately distinct, is unrivaled. It has been attributed to Ezra, a member of the Stephanite monastic order. The Stephanites came to be recognized as the foremost carvers of crosses and illuminators of manuscripts. During a period of the order's exile in Egypt, Ezra is reputed to have enhanced his training as a craftsman and learned the technique of marquetry. It has been suggested that he may have produced this work at the Gunda Gundi monastery.In the Ethiopian church, the wooden cross is perceived as having been sanctified by Christ's blood, which conferred upon it infinite power to heal and to bless. Foliate and organic interlace designs, branching from the foot of the cross, are interpreted as symbolizing the Tree of Paradise, and thus a vibrant life-giving force. Commissioned by Ethiopian royalty, such works were presented to important monasteries to be carried in liturgical processions.

I'm glad i found another Selena fan.
I don't remember much of her since she died when i was only 7. The only thing i remember is her music being played alot (I was born in Cuba by the way).
I also remember when she died, it was reported on the news. My parents and my brother were shocked when they heard the news.
Now...14-15 years later i am 23 years old and i just realized how special Selena was, Special persons like her don't come along often.
What i will always remember about her (through seeing in her videos) is her beautiful smile and her personality.
What makes me sad is that celebrities like her will never come, she was the type of celebrity that never created controversy or drama to raise her popularity, and when she steadily climbed up in popularity she still kept her good personality and connection with her fans.
and that's what made her who she is and people will forever be talking about her and singing her music.
Yolanda took her away but she created a legend.
Hope to talk to you again Brian.

RE: Hi there...
thank's Brian....I went to high school with his daughter Mary K. when they lived here in Alexandria,Va. in Seminary Valley. Was over there several times. Tho I never got to meet him I did have dinner at his place when they moved over to the Marine Corps base in Washington D.C. Very impressive. Beautiful furniture from all over the world and his office with the red phone direct line to the President. I've tried to find Mary K. just to say hello but I can't seem to find her. Anyway, thanks again for the info and I'll be sure to come by when I'm out that way.
best regards,

Town Plans HUD Suit Farm ingda le Corner Tops In Accidents Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Colby has the Town Attorney's office looking into the possibility of court action as a result of a denial of planning funds by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on the grounds that the Town has refused to comply with HUD demands for construction of low-income family housing projects. " The amount of money, $ 17,000, is not that significant but we believe that HUD is going beyond its authority in attempting to tie our annual planning grant to a demand for low- income family housing projects," Colby explained. " When Community Development funds were denied us on the grounds that we refused to comply to HUD's will, we understood that the law ( 1974 Housing and Community Development Act) allowed attaching this housing string to community improvement fund-s," Colby continued. " We knew that the problem was in the law itself in that it refused to recognize that different communities have different needs and that all communities should be required to solve whatever problem HUD decides has a priority. " But in ( his case, we do not think that HUD is correct when it attempts to deny planning funds to the Town on the grounds that we have not complied with demands of that federal agency," Colby said. At Colby's direction, that exact question is currently being given careful examination by the Town Attorney's office to determine if court action is the most appropriate course. . Colby noted that the denial of the planning funds ( 701 Program) came close on the heels of the official denial of a Community Development program that would have provided homeowners in the Oyster Bay hamlet area with low-interest home improvement loans. " In denying the home improvement loan program, HUD simply said straight out, that unless we construct low income family housing projects we will not get these funds. In other words, unless we start complying to HUD's will and start changing the complexion and character of this Town to have it developed as HUD would like it, we are going to be unable to obtain HUD funds to assist us in meeting the needs [ Continued on page 4] The intersection of Merritts Road and Hempstead Turnpike, Farmingdale, tied for first place in Nassau County as the corner with the most auto accidents during 1976. The intersection tied with Hempstead Turnpike and Wantagh Ave., Levittown, with 45 accidents each. This information was contained in a study recently completed by the Nassau County Police Dept. that revealed that the most accident prone major roads in the police district are Hempstead Turnpike and Sunrise Highway. Hempstead Turnpike accounted for 48 percent of all accidents at various high accident frequency locations, while Sunrise Highway was credited with 32 percent. Most of the accidents occurred between 9 a. m. and 5 p. m. under optimum weather conditions with the intersections under control of traffic signal lights. Farmingdale's total o* accidents at Merritts Road and 25 more at Main Street, placed Farmingdale in third place behind East Meadow and Levittown in total number of accidents. The study did not include all accidents, only those at 25 intersections which had the most number of accidents during 1976. Howitt Mathletes Tops In Nassau Co. The Howitt Junior High School Math team has captured the Nassau County Math League ninth grade championship in competition against more than 35 other public and non- public schools. In addition, individual honors were won by two Farmingdale students who were among the top scorers in the league. Scott Klein was the number one ranked student in Nassau and Linda Sperling placed third highest among the hundreds of students in the competition. The team award was accepted by Frank Krebs. Awards were received at a May 17 presentation at Merrick Avenue Junior High School which featured Professor Gene Zirkel as guest speaker. Students were accompanied at the awards evening by their parents and faculty moderator Bernice Glidden. Scott Klein lives on Bleeker Drive and Linda Sperling on Pine Street in North Massapequa; Frank Krebs at on Cheryl Lane North in Farmingdale. ——_

A Fargo homeowner interrupted a burglary early Friday.
A Fargo homeowner interrupted a burglary early Friday. The man woke up to noise and found two burglars wearing ski-masks and carrying flashlights in his basement. The pair fled.
A police canine followed tracks in the snow until the trail ended abrubtly. It appears the burglars got away in a car.
The homeowner told police he forgot to lock his door.
It's not clear if anything was stolen. The burglary was reported just before 3 A.M. in the 2800 block of Park View Dr.

Does anyone know if Maori potatoes go green under the skin, ie become inedible.?
Some of those I collected were sitting on top of the soil and I didnt think much about it at the time, but now wonder if I should eat them or not.
I cant tell which they were and they dont appear to have gone green.
Or is it just the white potatoes we need to worry about?

Roll-top desks gained popularity in the 19th century, due to several factors including the mass production of furniture and the growth of commercial activities and businesses. Roll top desks were originally designed for the emerging merchant class, to be used by clerks and bookkeepers as an all-in-one office work space to organize ledgers and other important papers. The roll top desk, which could be easily mass-produced, became very popular with nineteenth century businessmen because it reduced the number of pieces of furniture needed to furnish a place of business. Today, while the appeal and appearance of roll top desks remain relatively the same, there have been some minor changes so that they can accommodate new fangled contraptions like computers.
Roll top desks are almost always made of wood. Its signature rounded cover or roll-down lid provides added protection to the desk's contents, while creating a sense of privacy. Essentially a standard pedestal desk, the three-sided cabinet that forms the lid typically includes tracks along the side and top edges. Whether it's a high quality or a discount roll top desk, these tracks are usually made out of plastic or metal so that tambour or wood lid can slide easily up and down. Make sure that this feature works smoothly and without almost any noise.
As in all other types of case goods with drawers and cabinet areas, the roll top desk you choose for your home should be well-made, with some type of interlocking joints. If some kind of interlocking joint, like dovetail, hasn't been used, check to see if the cabinet and drawer sides have at least been both nailed and glued.
The finish is what gives a classic style writing desk like the roll top its unique character.
The warm golden or orange hues of oak roll top desk will lend the room an entirely different vibe that a room with a black roll top desk in it.
Because roll top desks come in different sizes from small to large to oversize, take measurement first. You don't want to purchase a writing desk, only to find that it's not going to fit its intended space.
Roll top desks make a statement. Choose an accompanying office chair or desk chair that will complement the desk you selected – ensure that the finish of the chair is a good match with the desk. Particularly if you intend on sitting at your roll top desk for long stretches at a time, consider purchasing an ergonomic chair that will give you the best support.
When purchasing a roll top computer desk, check to make sure that there will be both adequate wire management and proper ventilation. Even though the tambour or lid will be raised when working at the writing desk, you will still need an unimpeded flow of air to keep equipment from overheating.

The Serbian War Crimes Prosecution announced possible new indictments for the war crimes committed in the village of Cuska in Kosovo in 1999.
On Monday the prosecutor Dragoljub Stankovic announced that the new indictments related to war crimes committed in May 1999 in the village of Cuska near Pec, in Kosovo, could be expected soon.
The prosecution charged thirteen people, as members of the Jackals unit with the Serbian forces, with war crimes of killing at least 44 Albanian civilians.
The prosecution specifies that the accused carried out armed attacks and individual acts of violence as well as threats of violence, destruction of civilian property, looting, snatching personal property, aimed at personal gain and spreading fear among Albanian civilians in order to force them to leave their place of residence and move to Albania.
Before the Special Court's Trial Chamber on Monday, Erzen Lushi, one of the survivors from the village of Cuska, testified once again via video-link. At the time of the attack Lushi was 17 year old and he said he was order by the soldiers to gather all the money from villagers and turn it over to them.
Asked to identify the perpetrators, Lushi replied he did not remember everything because 13 years passed since the event.
"Thirteen years have passed and it is difficult to remember the man who told me to gather the money. He had a typical army uniform, automatic rifle, and paint on his face," said Lushi.
In his previous testimony on March 28, 2011, Lushi testified that during the attack on Cuska, his father, uncle and seven cousins were killed. He survived thanks to "soldier Boban who pushed him away and told him 'Go on now, go to your mother'". His mother, together with other women, elderly and children was imprisoned in one part of the village.
One of the reasons for the attack on Cuska, believed by the Serbian forces to be one of the strongholds of the Kosovo Liberation Army, KLA, was that this was the birthplace of Agim Cheku, former KLA commander and current minister of Kosovo's special forces.
During the attack, his father was killed and the Cheku family house burnt to the ground.
Asked by defendant Ratko Momic whether there were KLA forces in the village, Lushi said he did not remember, and even if there were, he would not have known about it.
The former commander of the 55th Battalion of the Military Police Rajko Baltic also testified on Monday, and said he could not specify whether the Jackals were paramilitaries or part of the regular make-up of the Yugoslav Army.
"I do not know whether you were paramilitaries or not. I only know that you showed exceptional courage in battlefield, patriotism and discipline," said Baltic.
The witness was also not sure whether he heard about the name "Jackals" while in Kosovo or later, from the media.
The trial will resume on September 27 and 28.

Despite its growth, TNE remains a heavily debated mode of HE provision primarily because of the risks associated with the offshore institutions involved. This has created a response by organisations at national and international level to assure that quality standards of TNE are appropriate and comparable to the quality standards of the home institution/countries. see the powerpoint slides here http://www.academia.edu/3726634/From_retrospective_to_prospective_quality_management_in_TNE._Why_we_should_care_about_student_expectations_and_perceptions

Brett Scott: The Heretic's Guide to Global Finance: Hacking the Future of Money offers the reader a framework for approaching the financial system based on anthropology, gonzo exploration, the hacker ethos, DIY culture, activist entrepreneurialism, drag queens, rogue magicians, guerilla gardening, dolphins, open source culture, network disruption, circuitbending, and you. It's a portal into the dark and fascinating realm of high finance in three parts: Part 1 (Exploring) covers the major financial players, concepts & instruments. Part 2 (Jamming) explores innovative forms of financial activism, from disrupting investment into fossil fuels to building your own hedge funds of dissent. Part 3 (Building) showcases the growing alternative finance movement - including peer-to-peer systems, alternative currencies, and co-operative economies - and shows how ordinary individuals can get involved in building a democratic financial system. It is being published by the fantastic Pluto Press, and you can find out how to order below. For more about me, see here.

Bridging the Higher Education Divide: Strengthening Community Colleges and Restoring the American Dream
By The Century Foundation Task Force on Preventing Community Colleges from Becoming Separate and Unequal Published by The Century Foundation Press, May 23, 2013 Education has always been a key driver in our nation's struggle to promote social mobility and widen the circle of people who can enjoy the American Dream. No set of educational institutions better embodies the promise of equal opportunity than community colleges. Two-year colleges have opened the doors of higher education for low-income and working-class students as never before, and yet, community colleges often lack the resources to provide the conditions for student success. Furthermore, there is a growing racial and economic stratification between two- and four-year colleges, producing harmful consequences. Bridging the Higher Education Divide faces those grave realities in unblinking fashion. Led by co-chairs Anthony Marx, the president of the New York Public Library and former president of Amherst College, and Eduardo Padron, the president of Miami Dade College, the task force recommends ways to reduce the racial and economic stratification and create new outcomes-based funding in higher education, with a much greater emphasis on providing additional public supports based on student needs. more here http://tcf.org/bookstore/detail/bridging-the-higher-education-divide Delete the scoop?

AbstractGlobal educational programs have become increasingly important in Higher Education and the training sector. One promising solution for global collaboration is to collaborate using Open Educational Resources (OER). However, this opportunity has not been used to a broad extent even though millions of learning objects are freely available across the world. This paper discusses key barriers to the use of OER and gives recommendations how materials can be used in international collaborations. A special focus is development of the concept of trusted educational networks and its application for recommendation mechanisms to enhance sharing in communities of trusted colleagues.

The concept of the "Creative University" signals that higher education stands at the center of the creative economy indicating the growing significance of intellectual capital and innovation for economic growth and cultural development. Increasingly economic activity is socialised through new media and depends on immaterial and digital goods. This immaterial economy includes new international labour markets that demand analytic skills, global competencies and an understanding of markets in tradeable knowledges. Delivery modes in education are being reshaped. Global cultures are spreading in the form of knowledge and research networks. Openness, networking, cross-border people movement, flows of ideas, capital and scholars are changing the conditions of imagining and producing creative work. The economic aspect of creativity refers to the production of new ideas, aesthetic forms, scholarship, original works of art and cultural products, as well as scientific inventions and technological innovations. It embraces both open source communication as well as commercial intellectual property. This collection explores these ideas as the basis for a new development agenda for universities.

Abstract: The internationalisation of African higher education suffered far-reaching impacts from colonialism and this continues today, with highly coercive and mimetic pressures produced by the conditionalities of bilateral and multilateral of organisations. This process and its contents at the global level define and diffuse the new African higher education imperatives, which demonstrate regionalisation and a sharp conflict in relationship with indigenisation. Such internationalisation is, in the main, not actively pursued by Africa, but is being controlled by the North and constitutes a complex of features from one country to another. The paper highlights the fact that African higher education institutions are not only shaped by national institutional and cultural structures, but they are also characterised by specific cultural features inherited from the past, which shape the way they respond to the current dynamics of globalisation. To overcome this passivism, the government and regional organisations are seen as still playing a relevant role in organising and shaping the internationalisation of higher education according to national culture, economic and social needs. Imposed education and economic reforms, both through Structural Adjustment Programs (SAPs), which constitute the major driver for internationalisation in Africa, are aimed at accommodating greater control of coercive international aid. Within the discourse of educative roots, it is necessary to construct a broader perspective on the concept of internationalisation, so that higher education will perform successfully, both socially and culturally within localised contexts. To overcome these problems, the authors reach the conclusion that as actions of globalisation are unalterable, and presumed as the driver of internationalisation, it is suggested that the choice option for internationalisation should be one which does not overshadow or erode the importance of local knowledge, but rather complements it and is an extender of local dimensions. full text here: http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/jnp/wse/2013/00000014/00000001/art00006 Delete the scoop?

Open innovation has received ample attention in thebusiness management and policy literature, but not so much in the educationalcontext. E-learning has been one of the main fields of innovation in theteaching and learning side of higher education for many years already. Thequality assurance process in e-learning can be used as an innovation ineducation. In 1999, Estonian universities had only 14 e-learning courses, butwith thirteen years this number has increased to more than 7000. The process ofawarding the e-course quality label was initiated in 2008. To run the awardingprocess, e-Learning Development Centre has formed a quality assurance taskforce, consisting of experts from many different higher educationorganisations. The task force developed a manual with quality criteria, set upa 3-tier process, beginning with self-evaluation, followed by organisationevaluation containing also learners' feedback and 3-member team expertevaluation. Applicants and experts are encouraged to fill a feedback form aboutthe application and evaluation process which helps to improve the process fromyear to year. In 2011 the e-learning quality web which supports all 3 tiers ofthe process was created. The quality web is also a good tool for collectingstatistics.Approximately 35 e-courses have participated in theapplication process each year. While only 38% qualified for the quality labelduring year 2008, the rate of successful applicants for the most recent yearwas 63%. The feedback from applicants suggests that this rise can be attributedto clearer understanding of quality criteria and better preparation ofevaluators and streamlining of the process itself.In this paper we will look into the innovation ofteaching and learning of the Estonian universities and vocational educationinstitutions giving an overview how the system for quality assurance ine-learning was collaboratively prepared for an open innovation at nationallevelfull text here http://papers.efquel.org/index.php/innoqual/article/view/16 ; Delete the scoop?

The Bologna Process in Europe aims to increase student mobility, with the purpose of increasing average university quality through fiercer competition for students in a larger, more unified market. However, this beneficial effect of increased student mobility will only occur if student mobility is guided by quality considerations. We examine whether the quality of a country's higher education system helps explain macro-flows of foreign tertiary students in Europe. Using various measures for the quality of a country's higher education system in an extended gravity model, we find that quality has a positive and significant effect on the size and direction of flows of students exchanged between 31 European countries. At the graduate level, however, the driving force for student mobility appears to be the lack of educational opportunities in the home country. full text: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/21568235.2013.772345#.UbA_sfn96qg

Abstract In 2011, the respective roles of higher education institutions and students worldwide were brought into question by the rise of the massive open online course (MOOC). MOOCs are defined by signature characteristics that include: lectures formatted as short videos combined with formative quizzes; automated assessment and/or peer and self–assessment and an online forum for peer support and discussion. Although not specifically designed to optimise learning, claims have been made that MOOCs are based on sound pedagogical foundations that are at the very least comparable with courses offered by universities in face–to–face mode. To validate this, we examined the literature for empirical evidence substantiating such claims. Although empirical evidence directly related to MOOCs was difficult to find, the evidence suggests that there is no reason to believe that MOOCs are any less effective a learning experience than their face–to–face counterparts. Indeed, in some aspects, they may actually improve learning outcomes. full text here : http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/4350/3673#author Delete the scoop?

Congratulations, Candice! So well deserved. - New Video: Mariah Carey ft. Miguel – Beautiful
The video is okay. They both look great, but the repetitive scenes show that it was rushed as Joseph mentioned. At the end of the day, Mariah is going to be Mariah and I can't fault her for that. I expect her to be showing legs and cleavage 20 years from now lol. - The Rescue Of Amanda Berry Breeds A Hero In Charles Ramsey
In my eyes, he's a hero. I hope that the damage that occurred to those ladies will one day be repaired. - New Music: Mariah Carey ft. Miguel – 'Beautiful'
The song has been on repeat since I heard it earlier. It's a very cool take of a throwback vibe with modernized vocals. Mariah has once again reinvented herself. I was truly not knowing what to expect from the teaser, but I am pleasantly surprised. As already mentioned, this song is tailor-made for summer, but honestly I think it will have legs to last way past then. - Nicki Minaj Slams Mariah Carey For Being Insecure & Bitter
Oh Nicki…so insecure and pathetic. While she's on twitter seething, Mariah is enjoying her life. Hot 100 Entries? Girl really? Not to knock that but um most of those are with her being a featured artist and she still hasn't had the #1 spot on BB. Also playing the race card again? *smh*It is truly so sad how INSECURE Nicki is when around Mariah. The media has tried to make it seem that because Mariah is older that she would be jealous of Nicki, but from the get go Nicki exposed her insecurities. Once again doing twitter rants and feeding in to bull. The whole J-lo replacing Mariah was created by her people (Benny Medina & Co.) to garner headlines. At the end of the day regardless of how AI pans out, Mariah will remain a Legend and Nicki will remain a insecure clown.
