Re: Some discussion points for the UK OA initiative

Question: what is the norm? I believe the norm is that research papers are multi-authored, multi-institutional, and a statistically significant quantity of them are international (institutions in different countries.) Laudable as a focus on the UK is, is this not a narrow focus on a larger field?

Apple iPad (Gen 3) Tablet Review
$499.00Amazon Kindle Fire
Device & Specs
Because the main draw to Amazon's tablet is the fact that it can be had for $199 plus shipping, it's not surprising that its hardware falls far short of what you get with the iPad. With a 7-inch screen that's intensely bright, the Kindle Fire does fare better in the outdoors than the iPad, but the inferior app market, inferior software, inferior processor, inferior RAM, and generally basic features aren't enough to satisfy someone who wants their tablet to do everything. If you don't need much in a tablet, the Fire is a great pickup, but it's no iPad.
The screen of the Fire is smaller, and has a resolution of 1024 x 600. The iPad, on the other hand is larger (9.7 inches) and has a near-retina display with a resolution of 2046 x 1536 pixels. While most content hasn't caught up to display technology, the iPad will survive the coming years much better than the Fire will.
Hands-down the Kindle Fire is the better eReader, as unpopular as this sentiment is. Because the unit itself is smaller, brighter, and has all of the benefits of Amazon's lending library program, you can really flex your mind with a dizzyingly-large amount of eBooks. Even though the iPad can install the Kindle app, it is harder to read for long periods of time, and more expensive the more you buy.
On the other side, the iPad is hands-down one of the best-supported devices for internet content, especially if you plunk down the extra coin for the LTE version to have access anywhere there's a 4G connection. Not only is the Apple App Store much more content-rich and diverse, but the interface is less stuttery, and the final product much more polished.

China Bans Japanese Prime Minister from Visiting Country Print article Send a Tip by Frances Martel 31 Dec 2013 post a comment The Chinese foreign ministry announced today that it does not have any intention of allowing Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe into their nation again after the latter visited a shrine honoring Japan's dead during World War II. According to the AP, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman announced that Abe was no longer welcome in China since his visit to the Yasukuni Shrine, a monument in Tokyo in which several World War II war criminals and imperialist figures remain enshrined. The Chinese called such a move "hypocrisy" on Abe's part, as Abe has previously said that normalizing relations with China was a major goal of his administration. Imperial Japan colonized large parts of Korea and China, particularly the northern province of Manchuria, and are said to have killed millions in the decades leading up to World War II. Given the role that some memorialized at Yasukuni played in the oppression of Imperial Japan's colonies, the Chinese government is arguing that Abe's visit to the shrine is an endorsement of the crimes of the imperial period. "The Chinese people do not welcome him. Now, Abe needs to admit his mistakes to the government and people of China, cut loose from the past and make a new start," said the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman. Xinhua, the state news agency of China, reported that opposition to Abe's visit has come from all sides of the political spectrum, with the Obama administration's State Department expressing "disappointment" in Abe's visit-- after all, Imperial Japan is also responsible for the attack on Pearl Harbor that brought the United States into WWII. Russian and South Korean representatives also expressed dismay at the potential veneration of the crimes of Imperial Japan, a representative of the latter expressing "anger" at the visit to the shrine. Abe said in a statement that he did not intend "at all" to insult the victims of Imperial Japan, only to "pray for the souls" of WWII soldiers. What the international backlash will mean for Japan, however, remains to be seen. Abe is wildly popular among his constituency, winning a resounding electoral victory in this past July. His nation is locked in a heated diplomatic dispute with China that puts him on the side of the United States and South Korea, refusing to accept China's Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) over Japanese islands that require other sovereign nations to identify their aircraft or face violence. Abe has threatened "force" should China actively oppose the free travel of Japanese vessels in the region, and the situation remains tense. With Abe now apparently unable to enter China after his controversial shrine visit, whether talks will result in a peaceful resolution of the ADIZ situation remains up in the air, their communication complicated by centuries of violent history.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Jan. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- College loan debt in the United States eclipsed $1 trillion1 in 2012, surpassing both auto and home loans. In response to this staggering trend, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual) today announced the launch of "Down With Debt," a Facebook initiative that aims to help Millennials with tips to help confront crippling debt, encourage the development of good financial habits, and reward one resourceful fan with up to $20,000 to help pay down student loans. The campaign, located on facebook.com/massmutual, will run from January 14 to February 14.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120717/MM40986LOGO-b)
As tuition prices continue to rise at both public and private universities, an increasing number of students are borrowing to supplement the cost of higher education. Currently, more than 60 percent of all students take out loans and the average college graduate has more than $24,0002 in debt upon graduation. In fact, 10 percent of borrowers have more than $50,0003 in outstanding payments, causing many young adults to face years of struggle to pay their loans off.
"MassMutual recognizes that new graduates and young professionals in today's world face big financial challenges. As a result, we created "Down with Debt" to help people learn about effective ways to conquer their loans and take smart first steps in building a secure financial future," said Tara Reynolds, Corporate Vice President, U.S. Insurance Group, MassMutual.
"Down With Debt" invites the Facebook community to complete MassMutual's online application, propose strategies for paying down debt and have a chance to receive $20,000 to help pay down their own college debt. In addition, there are several practical financial tips for young professionals and recent college grads to put them on the path to financial security.
"Mounting student loans for young adults are hindering their ability to save and invest for the future," said personal finance expert Farnoosh Torabi. "MassMutual's 'Down with Debt' campaign will not only help one lucky new graduate or young professional immediately pay down his or her obligations, but it also provides tips to help all Millennials get on the road to financial independence."
For those strapped by the cost of college, MassMutual outlines the most important first steps to take on the road to financial independence:
- Make a budget – Set up a budget to help determine what is a necessity and what is discretionary.
- Delay luxury – Try not to overspend on unnecessary goods. First priority should be to pay down loans to get rid of student debt.
- Review student loan payment options – Income-based repayment plans are often available. Graduates should figure out available payment options instead of automatically writing out monthly checks.
- Use cash – Avoid credit card debt and use cash as much as possible.
- Keep an eye to the future – Millennials should find out if their employer offers a match of 401(k) contributions and contribute at least up to the match.
To learn more about the "Down With Debt" initiative and to find out if you are eligible, visit facebook.com/massmutual.

American Capital Strategies announced that it will be acquiring all of the ordinary shares of European Capital held by other investors. European Capital shareholders will be getting about 1/3 of ACAS share in exchange for their stock. Furthermore ACAS announced that it won't pay any more dividends for the remainder of 2008.
This doesn't really come as a shock to me as ACAS stock price has been falling for several months after I considered it a must own dividend stock and bought some shares in this business development company. With the stock being off over 40% as of now I guess I should have sold at the open if I had seen the news earlier. Anyways I am planning on selling my ACAS position.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience of the region! We hope to welcome you back soon to enjoy the beautiful beaches and fun things to do for the family. Best wishes, Geographe Bay Tourism Association More
What a great location...pristine beaches, beautiful views along the coast at Dunsborough and on the other side from the strong sea breezes suffered by Margaret River and Yallingup. That means when the strong sea breeze is blowing at the other coastal towns in the afternoon, beaches here including the beautiful Bunker Bay and Meelup are sheltered and stunning.
We're so pleased to learn that you share our enthusiasm for the region's beautiful beaches, thank you for recommending them to other travellers. Meelup Beach is a particularly magical spot, and one of the few places in WA where the full moon rises over the ocean. We hope you return to the region soon! Best wishes, Geographe Bay Tourism Association More
If you visit Geographe Bay at all you will find some of the most beautiful scenery. We travelled to the Naturliste lighthouse and walked down the coast road to the look out point. We were extremely lucky to see whales in the Bay.
Thank you for sharing your experience of Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse, and congratulations on seeing whales during your visit! A huge number of whale sightings were reported this season. As you mention, the lighthouse is not only a great place to see whales but there are also stunning views of the coast. We are glad that you enjoyed the scenery and... More
wind and tides have formed a new white sandy Beach at Point Picquet. Should be very popular over the summer period!!
The views ofver the water are magnificent and the day we were there, we had a lovely sea breeze. This is a must see area if you are staying around or just driving through. Lovely, nature at its best.
Thank you for paying a visit to Geographe Bay! The soothing breeze we get in this area is called the 'Fremantle Doctor', and it not only keeps us comfortable in the summer, but it is also one of the reasons why we are able to make such excellent wine in the region. Thank you for recommending Geographe Bay, and we... More
Beautiful beaches even on chilly, wrap up warm days. Walking to whale lookout at cape naturaliste and seeing 7 pods of whales with their young from the lookout was a blast
We are delighted to learn about your truly memorable experience! It has been a great whale-watching season so far in terms of sightings, but in your case we think you were particularly lucky! It's also great to hear that you enjoyed some of the 30km of pristine coastline found in the Geographe Bay region. If you would like to share... More
easy to walk along, peaceful, safe for swimming, spots for family picnics, children's playgrounds, toilets
Lovely, long safe beach. Fantastic for children. You can walk for miles. We saw stingrays and dolphins on one of our walks.
Bring the camera, pack a lunch, pack your togs and take a drive! Stunning bays and beaches and national parks galore. A great family day out
Great place for walking trails, around the Lighthouse area you can choose between short walks and easy to moderate and difficult hikes. You can start here the famous Cape to Cape Track.
