Meeting re North Walls Community School
Posted on 21 April 2014
North Walls Community School
Provision of Secondary Education.
Meeting on Friday 25th April at the school,starting at 6:45pm
Chaired by James Stockan
In 2010 all of the S1/2 pupils at North Walls opted to transfer to either Stromness Academy
or Kirkwall Grammar School for their secondary
education. The reasons given at the time
included access to a wider range of opportunities, larger peer group and more social
networking opportunities.
In each of the subsequent years, pupils have had
the same range of choices (daily travel to
either Stromness of Kirkwall; taking up residence
at Papdale Halls) when making the
transition from P7 to S1.
While consideration to undertaking formal
consultation over the future (and possible closure)
of the secondary department at the school began,
this stopped when the Council agreed to
imposing a moratorium on school closures.
The moratorium was introduced pending the outcome
of the work of the Rural Schools
Commission. The report (published in April 2013)
made a series of recommendations on the
delivery of education in rural areas. Some
legislative changes have been introduced this
year as part of the Children and Young People Act.
For North Walls the current position is that
secondary provision is 'mothballed'. While this is
a potentially helpful state (and arguably better
than being 'closed') it leaves the school
community feeling perpetually 'uncertain' about the future.
The purpose of the meeting is to explore whether
criteria can be found for re-establishing secondaryprovision at the school. (On Flotta, a similar
proposalhas been made with respect to primary
school provision, which was mothballed
when the school roll fell to zero).

Hoy Half Marathon 2014
Posted on 16 February 2014
28th Hoy Half Marathon
Entry is now open for the Hoy Half Marathon – you can enter online at www.entrycentral.com/hoy-half-marathon.
If you prefer NOT to pay by card online, you will need to print and post an entry form in the usual way, enclosing a cheque for your entry fee. Please email email@example.com to request a form.
We regret to announce that there will be no Quarter Marathon this year, which we know will disappoint some young runners. Entry has been falling steadily for a number of years, to the point where it has become uneconomic to make the necessary reinvestment in the race which would fall due this year.
Given that a fixed number of volunteers are required to handle a run, even for a very small number of runners, we would like their time and effort to benefit a wider audience. We have therefore decided that instead of staging a Quarter Marathon this year we will hold a 5k Family Fun Run.

Broadband survey
Posted on 04 February 2014
Recently a team from Community Broadband Scotland (CBS) outlined where the new fibre optic network in Orkney is going to be developed. Hoy and other areas such as Shapinsay, Rousay, Eday etc are not going to be included. CBS have given Development Trusts from the Isles an opportunity to develop an island wide solution to achieve a faster and more reliable broadband service, possibly by the end of the year.
Project managers from the Development Trusts of Rousay and Shapinsay are leading the project but we on Hoy and Walls need to provide them with some information to get the project underway. Deadlines are tight but we really need some information from YOU and we would really appreciate it if you could fill in the questionnaire (see link below) about your broadband, its speed, its cost etc.
Deadline for the return of the survey is 10th February but any submitted after this will still be of use for the next stage. Please email or give surveys to Jayne, Hillhouse, Longhope – email@example.com or Debs, Loft, Longhope firstname.lastname@example.com
Many thanks

Electric car
Posted on 27 January 2014
Please note that the current electric car trial is temporarily suspended in order to review the data to date and whilst other tests are conducted in order to fulfil the funding criteria. It is likely that the car will become available to island residents again later in the year.

moreInhabited by the Taino Indians since the seventh century, the Dominican Republic became the site of the first European settlement in the Americas when Christopher Columbus claimed the island for Spain in 1492. Santo Domingo proudly boasts the first cathedral, fortress, hospital, monastery, university, palace, and streets in the Americas. Once ruled by Spain, France, and Haiti, the country eventually gained its independence in 1844 and modeled its constitution after the U.S. Constitution. A legacy of unsettled, nonrepresentative rule followed, capped by the ironfisted dictatorship of General Rafael Trujillo. Today, the Dominican Republic is a democratic republic with a major railway and an economy based on tourism. Because of the vast inequalities among the rich and the poor, Dominicans still face many hardships, and high unemployment remains a challenge. In The Dominican Republic, explore this island nation's history, culture, peoples, and government. less

I have a new best girlfriend, OK? She's Jennifer Coolidge, the supporting kook of comic movies like Best in Show and Legally Blonde, and she has wry humor, a nice faux-leopard coat, and the part of Edith in the Broadway revival of that classic bitchathon, The Women. Over brunch at Blue Water Grill, the glamorously Eloise-via-Auntie-Mame-looking Coolidge told me, "I kept saying to my agent, 'Are you sure they didn't want Jennifer Tilly?' He said, 'No, she's already playing Crystal.' My audition was so awful I don't know how I got the part. I wore a '70s dress, with my buttons popping, and I looked more like Susan Blakelythan anyone in 1938."
Still, she nabbed the role (played by Phyllis Povah in the hallowed movie) and quickly heeded director Scott Elliott's advice: "These girls are nasty. Don't hold back!" "It's a very dark version," said Coolidge, ominously. "There'll be plenty of nudity." Female nudity? Gee, most gay men will hopeit's dark. But apparently Cynthia Nixon, playing the Norma Shearer one, anchors all the meowing with some heart; Coolidge reports that "Cynthia's extraordinary. She reeks of decency and makes everyone else look like an asshole. That's just sheer talent."
Coolidge herself has that kind of spunky appeal, with an acid twist. She was a regular riot as Best in Show's gold digger with big lips and a near dead husband, a role she knew from life. "I was a failed waitress," she explained, "so I used to babysit for these Beverly Hills women. You'd go to their disgusting houses with statues made out of Formica, and these atrocious girls with fake lips would say, 'Could you come around the back?' I always wanted to play one of those women." Alas, her monologue about how she didn't mind her hubby's diarrhea was unceremoniously cut!
She's the olderhalf of a love combo with that Finch kid in the American Pieflicks, and said of her screen son, Seann William Scott, "I'd sleep with him in a second!" (Get in line, honey.) And in Legally Blondethe woman never restsshe atypically enough was the schlumpy manicurist who needs to get nailed. "I basically played the loser I was at 15," Coolidge revealed. "At my hideous boarding school, I broke into the dining hall, stole all the pastries, and put them under my bed. I was really depressed!" I slammed down my danish mid-bite.
Where isn'tshe these days? In Zoolander, because Ben Stillerfound her performance (spoofing Donna Karan) deeply unfunny and made her lines as invisible as that diarrhea monologue. "By the time I finished," she said, "Ben couldn't stand me. I don't even think he said goodbye, he was so pissed. He's kind of aloof to begin with, and then if you're not pleasing him, he's beyondaloof."
Jennifer's anything but. She got her in-your-face training at the Groundlings Theatre, along with Chris Kattan, who ended up being her live-in love. Did she become allergic to Mango? "I got tired of being someone's beard," she blurted, then grinningly took it back. So they had a healthy sex life? "Eew. I don't want to think about it. But he really does like women. It wasn't a put-on like some of my other boyfriends. He was a young squirt and was kicking ass on Saturday Night Live, and I was fat and gross and my mother had just died. I was the fishwife, saying, 'Before SNL, you took the garbage out!' I must say he was much nicer before he got the show. People always said it must be a big laughfest to live with someone so funny, and I wanted to say, 'A lot of it just sucks and it's notfunny, and if I have to see that monkey one more time . . . ' "
Fortunately, Coolidge has her own nutty résumé now, and her success must irk all those who wanted her to be more Eloise and less Auntie Mame. In '99, Allure even put her through the paces for a feature on slimming down. "It was like, 'We're gonna take a kind of overweight actress and fix her up,' " she told me. "I hid from the magazine's people for weeks in a wig and glasses because I hadn't lost weight. Finally, the editor was like, 'This girl hasn't lost one pound!' For the final weigh-in, I had my hand on the wall so I'd weigh less. They had to put me in a black dress and turn me sideways. Friends say I actually look better in the 'before' shot!" As I snapped that funny face with an imaginary Polaroid, I knew she looked best of all right now.
Bring your mental cameras to Puppetry of the Penis; it may not be Dance of Deaththat zippy toe-tapper about "bottom feeders," heart disease, and annihilationbut it's definitely the most unusual show about an organ since The Phantom of the Opera. The plot? Well, the two Aussie starswho are used to having fun Down Undermake shapes out of their twin towers, which might actually provide some zany relief in these darkest of times. The results are projected onto a big screenyes, the camera does add 15 poundsand as they vividly simulate pelicans, mollusks, and Gonzo (suddenly it's Muppetry of the Penis), you ooh and ah while grabbing your own crotch in second-hand pain.

pvrunnerchick96 said: You seem nice so ill ask you.. How do you do the galaxy nails?! I've wanted to try them so bad for a while but I have no clue how! Do you think you could make a tutorial or something? That would be amazing!!!! :)
There's tons and tons of tutorials for galaxy nails out there, so I don't think I'm gonna make one because they're pretty redundant at this point. However, I will talk you through how I did these most recent ones!
First off, the key to galaxy nails is to use a makeup sponge and a very light hand. I started with a plain creme black base, and then sponged a really dark teal creme (Essie Overboard) over about two thirds of the nail in random locations. The next color I used was white, and to make sure it was really light and not too overpowering, I got some polish on the sponge, and then dabbed it on a piece of paper enough times that barely any was left on. Did the white in random bits on the nails, then followed up super lightly with yellow, peach, and aqua creme polishes concentrated mostly where the white is.
After doing all these parts, it's really important to just check out how your nails look and to see where there's a good balance of light and dark, where it gets to be too much and where you need more color. On the nails where you have too much color/galaxy, just go in sponging alternately with the dark colors you used until you get a shape/contrast that you like.
The step that makes these really look like galaxies is adding the stars. I like to concentrate mine in the lightest portions of my nebulae, but all of that is up to you. Some people like to add glitter, I think I prefer mine without, but that's just me. A lot of this is up to personal preference. If you need any more help with galaxies, I'd say to check out this tutorial because it's awesome and the daily nail is awesome too.
I really hope all of this was helpful! And that you see this haha

Sometimes numbers and facts are irrefutable — sometimes when you lose you can no longer credibly scream victory in the face of defeat, as Karl Rove tried to do in his now-famous election night meltdown ranting against Fox News' own statisticians.

Great Goggles!
These goggles are wonderful! I wore them in Vail on the coldest weekend they had all year and they didn't fog up. There are two lenses - one yellow and one brown for different weather. Having good goggles makes all the difference. These are relatively inexpensive and look cool too.
I have these in the green/white combo. I LOVE THEM. They are HOT. The construction is so good, i actually took a face plant a few weeks ago and they made it threw without a scratch. BUY THEM..

I bought these White/Pink Goggles for my girlfriend, and she freaking loves them!!! The fuzzy earmuffs fit her perfectly, and she loved the pink chrome lens. I didn't even know that portions of the sales of these goggles go to Boarding for Breast Cancer...bonus.

These goggles have it all: style and performance. Definitely a step up from my previous goggles. Perfect for riders with small to medium sized faces. I would definitely recommend these...they look cool and are constructed with high quality materials.

I read a new review of Sweetwater (TX) RV Park earlier today that has some questionable information. The reviewer admits that they did not stay at the park. I have no problem with that if they convey some good information on the park. While their advice that you may want to call ahead to make sure they have a site that will fit your RV is solid, they apparently changed the park info to read that the park is not "Big Rig Friendly". According to 3 of the 4 reviews preceeding this questionable review, the park was able to accommodate a 40' rig with a 20' trailer, a 36' rig with 4 slides, and another combo rig that was 60'. Just because this reviewer was told that the park did not have a site that was big enough for his RV on the night they wanted to reserve doesn't mean that the park doesn't have ANY long sites (as evidenced by other reviewrs). Looking at the park "from the highway" certainly does not justify their determination that nothing larger than 32' would fit. That is unfair to the park and the people who use this site. Admin may want to change the "Big Rig Friendly" status of this park back to yes.

The review was removed and pin reset to big rig yes. We have an admin who track down what happen. You could not see the Sweetwater RV Park from I-20 but you could see the Rolling Plains RV Park close to I-20. This information was a mistake and was taken down.

Charlie Sheen wasted no time attacking his former show during the premiere of "Anger Management" last night ... taking some not-so-veiled shots at "Two and a Half Men" during the opening scene.
The very first scene of "Management" opens on a tight shot of Charlie (playing a character named Charlie) while he's on an angry rant ... saying, "YOU CAN'T FIRE ME, I QUIT!! You want to replace me with some other guy? Go ahead! It won't be the same!"
He adds, "You think I'm losing! I'm not! I'm ... anyway, you get the idea."
When the camera pulls out, it reveals Charlie is only taking out his anger on an inflatable punching bag named BoBo ... while teaching his group therapy class about an anger management technique.
Not very subtle ...
Fun Fact -- the show debuted last night on FX ... right after an episode of "Men."
Looks like there are lots of people here simply to hate and downvote any supporters. It's so obvious.
Anyway, that scene was pretty funny.
Reminds me of becker. Boring and barely watchable with ugly stalker type women.
USATODAY gave the show 1.5 stars out of 4. I say they were very generous. A complete waste of time.
You gotta to respect the man for all his work over the years. He was the highest paid actor on television. Such things dont just happen to random people you know. He has **** loads of talent in him. I feel kinda sad that he sorta wasted his looks and health living the life he lived, but its his life and he has right to live it however he choses to. I sympathise the guy because he made me lough over the years in Men. HIs new show is not half bad by far. And I think it is going to improve. We should expect some great cast like Denise Richards - Sheens wife. And it would be fun to see his father on the show. I kinda look forward to all that and I believe in Sheen and the show. For all the haters: **** you guyes. seriously go to hell and die.
good evening.
The first episode was pretty terrible. The second one was much better. I loved that they got the lady that played Trudy from "Reno 911" to play the slump buster. The jury is still out on this show for me, but it's definitely better than watching Ashton Kutcher play the same character from "That 70's Show" in "Two and a Half Men".
His new show is lame
Colossal fail. Sleezy is a dried up douchebag and it showed. If the acting weren't bad enough the writing and plot both fail.
All I saw in the late night rerun of the premiere of the show was sour grapes and not very good (as in funny) ones either. Can't believe he's playing yet another Charlie character. And the cheap shots at 2 1/1 Men were tiresome and just not funny. He just can't seem to get over getting his ass fired from that show. The new one just seems to be an outreach to let him vent. We've already seen enough of his venting, so we won't be watching.
Watched it. He blew chunks.
OH come on.. . .the show was HORRIBLE... everyone wants to say the guy is a comic genius. . but he is an angry drug addict who abuses women. .. . give me a break.. ..
The laugh track was overkill.
I thought the show was good. The guy has talent, and it was getting boring seeing him do the girl chasing and boozing every week.
At least it's better then what's going on with Two and A Half Men, I laughed the first three mins when i saw and it pretty much killed 2.5 Men, There was some good parts, some were boring. I'm hoping the show could get better on
fanstastic charlie sheen is great
great new sitcom GO charlie GO very funy excellent

Balancing SoNaR: IPR versus Processing Issues in a 500-Million-Word Written Dutch Reference Corpus
Reynaert, Martin and Oostdijk, Nelleke and De Clercq, Orph´ee and Heuvel van den, Henk and Jong de, Franciska (2010) Balancing SoNaR: IPR versus Processing Issues in a 500-Million-Word Written Dutch Reference Corpus. In: Seventh conference on International Language Resources and Evaluation, LREC '10, 19-21 May 2010, Malta.
|In The Low Countries, a major reference corpus for written Dutch is beingbuilt. We discuss the interplay between data acquisition and data processingduring the creation of the SoNaR Corpus. Based on developments in traditionalcorpus compiling and new web harvesting approaches, SoNaR is designed tocontain 500 million words, balanced over 36 text types including bothtraditional and new media texts. Beside its balanced design, every text sampleincluded in SoNaR will have its IPR issues settled to the largest extentpossible. This data collection task presents many challenges because everydecision taken on the level of text acquisition has ramifications for the levelof processing and the general usability of the corpus. As far as thetraditional text types are concerned, each text brings its own processingrequirements and issues. For new media texts - SMS, chat - the problem is evenmore complex, issues such as anonimity, recognizability and citation right, allpresent problems that have to be tackled. The solutions actually lead to thecreation of two corpora: a gigaword SoNaR, IPR-cleared for research purposes,and the smaller - of commissioned size - more privacy compliant SoNaR,IPR-cleared for commercial purposes as well.

- Heart & Vascular Care at Saddleback Memorial - Laguna Hills
The da Vinci® Si Surgical System uses robotic computer technology providing breakthrough minimally invasive surgical capabilities that offer greater surgical benefits.
How Surgeries are Performed with a Surgical Robot
Through robotic assisted visualization, dexterity, precision and control, a surgeon can perform a wide array of procedures through small one to two centimeter incisions. During an operation, the surgeon sits at a console in the surgical suite and monitors the video screens to direct the robotic arms to perform the surgery. The da Vinci® Si Surgical System seamlessly and directly translates the surgeon's natural hand, wrist and finger movements from controls at the console to the surgical instruments inside the patient.
Robotic assisted heart surgery, also called closed-chest heart surgery, is performed without separating the breastbone (sternum) and ribcage. During the procedure, small keyhole incisions (one to two centimeters) are made on the chest, between the ribs, allowing for the surgical equipment and a tiny camera, called an endoscope, to reach the heart. Unlike traditional open-heart surgery, procedures are performed while the heart is still beating and do not require the use of a heart-lung machine.
Enabling Surgeons with
- Greater range of motion and precision than with hand-manipulated, minimally invasive procedures.
- A magnified, high-definition three-dimensional view when operating.
- Instruments that become an extension of the doctor's wrists, hands and fingers to move the tiny surgical instruments in a delicate, precise manner.
Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery Procedures
- Robotic-Assisted Cardiac Tumor (Atrial Myxoma) Removal
- Robotic-Assisted Congenital Heart Surgery
- Robotic-Assisted Heart Valve Repair or Replacement
- Robotic-Assisted Left Ventricular Lead Placement
- Robotic-Assisted Minimally Invasive Direct CAB Surgery
- Robotic-Assisted Minimally Invasive Maze Surgery
Benefits of Robotic-Assisted Heart Surgery
By using the da Vinci® Si Surgical System (da Vinci) in heart surgery the breastbone (sternum) remains intact.
- Less post-operative pain.
- Reduced trauma to the body.
- Less scarring.
- Shorter hospital stays.
- Reduced blood loss and need for transfusions.
- Quicker recovery and return to normal activities.
Cardiac Rehabilitation
Following the procedure, cardiac rehabilitation is provided in stages to help reduce risk for future heart problems and to make the recovery process quick.
- Atrial Fibrillation
- Cardiac Tumors
- Congenital Heart Disease
- Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction)
- Heart Disease
- Heart Failure

Treatment for pulmonary metastatic disease may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of treatments. However, several variables may exclude patients from these treatments such as multiple tumors, multiple previous surgeries, pulmonary dysfunction, or co-morbid medical conditions. For these patients, percutaneous cryoablation may be a suitable option.
Ablation of metastatic lung tumors is a rapidly expanding area within interventional oncology. Cryotherapy, radiofrequency, laser and microwave have all been shown to be effective. Cryotherapy offers a wide range of anatomic and tumor treatment options because of the ability to visualize the ice under imaging guidance and the preservation of collagenous tissue structure. Cryoablation has been extensively performed in the prostate and kidney with favorable outcomes reported in the literature. More recently, cryoablation has been shown to be safe in the treatment of lung tumors with CT guidance.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patient must be at least 18 years old.
- Patient has signed a written informed consent.
- Patient presents with Stage 4 pulmonary metastatic disease with metastatic disease previously confirmed by prior biopsy; or Patient presents with Stage 4 pulmonary metastatic disease previously confirmed on imaging (e.g. computerized tomography or CT) with histology proven primary cancer.
- Patient has up to 6 local pulmonary metastases targetable by cryoablation.
- Targeted index tumor(s) defined as intra pulmonary or pleural with a maximum size of 3.5 cm, measured in the longest cross sectional dimension.
- The target index tumor(s) is determined (by CT images) to be in a location where cryoablation is technically achievable based on the proximity of adjacent organs/ structures and is greater than 0.5 cm from any critical organ/structure (possibly achieved with additional maneuvers such as iatrogenic pneumothorax or hydrodissection).
- Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) score greater than or equal to 60.
- Platelet count greater than 50,000/mm3 within 8 weeks prior to initial cryoablation procedure.
- International Normalized Ratio (INR) less than 1.5 within 8 weeks prior to initial cryoablation procedure.
- Patient has a life expectancy of greater than 3 months.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patient's index tumor(s) is primary lung cancer.
- Patient has uncontrollable primary or metastatic disease outside of the lung.
- Patient is unable to lie flat or has respiratory distress at rest.
- Patient has a coagulopathy or bleeding disorder which is uncontrolled.
- Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) <1000 within 8 weeks prior to initial cryoablation procedure.
- Patient has evidence of active systemic, pulmonary, or pericardial infection.
- Patient has a debilitating medical or psychiatric illness that would preclude giving informed consent or receiving optimal treatment or follow up.
- Patient is currently participating in other experimental studies that could affect the primary endpoint (e.g. experimental chemotherapy regimen).

Having spent hours reviewing DSLR's finally decided on the Pentax K100D Super to upgrade from a bridge camera.
The supplied kit lens is 18 - 55 zoom.
The question I am struggling with is whether this will be adequate for landscape shots and if not could anyone recommend a reasonably priced (Cheap) additional lens.
I would also like to get into close up shots, could anyone recommend a macro lens, again for a reasonable price.
Many thanks for your thoughts and to save me from insanity having spent ages reading reviews on cameras, thought I would ask the experts!
The 18mm end should make a decent job of landscapes, Sharpest aperture without refraction will be around f1.8 to f16.
Before spending any more money, I'd give the kit lens a work out, Gives you an chance to familiarise yourself with the camera & lens..!
If you wnat something wider for landscapes, The Sigma 10 - 20 is very popular with many, And for the price quite hard to beat..!
For Macro, 2 lens spring to mind, The legendary Tamron 90mm Di macro.....Or The Sigma 105mm Macro.....!
Both are highly regarded And don't cost a fortune.....
Edit; I use a Sigma 70mm f2.8 macro, And it's superb, However for bugs & Insects, The shorter focal means I do have to get closer to the subject, Sometimes they don't mind...... Sometimes they do....
Having said that I chose the 70mm, Coz I wanted something that might double as a portrait lens.........!
Hi Geoff
I have the same camera and upgraded the lens to a Sigma 17-70. The Pentax lens produced soft images but, the Sigma is sharp and operates smoothly. There is some barrel distortion at 17mm though. I remove this with the plugin from PTlens (about £10). The lens also gets good reviews from sites such as DPreview.
Hope this helps
Hi Adam and Chris. Many thanks for your advice. I have had a couple of weeks using the camera on holiday, steep learning curve and am very impreesed with it compared to previous p & s and bridge cameras. I splashed out on a Sigma 70 - 300mm macro zoom and this has opened up a whole new world. Will add other lenses as I become more experienced and bank (wife) allow. Many thanks for your advice. Chris you have some impressive shots in your pf.
Thanks again

The Penny Parker series was a collection of seventeen books written between 1939 and 1947 (two books a year except for 1945, which only had one). The heroine was the eponymous Penny Parker, a slim, blond young woman, an only child with a dead mother who was raised by her father and the housekeeper, who was like family. She solved mysteries, most of which took place in her hometown, Riverview, but sometimes were in other locales. Her friends assisted her on her cases and she usually made new ones along the way. Does this sound familiar?There were some marked differences from Nancy Drew, however. Penny's father, Anthony Parker, owned and printed The Riverview Star, a newspaper, unlike Carson Drew, who was a lawyer. Penny's character is actually more similar to that of the original Nancy Drew, as she is terribly flippant and impulsive, which tends to get her into hot water. Penny (who, unlike Nancy, is still in school) also has only one close girlfriend her age, Louise Sidell, as opposed to Nancy's Bess and George. Her other friends included Salt Sommers and Jerry Livingston, a photographer and reporter on her father's paper. The latter was more of a Love Interest. The cast was rounded out by Mr. Dewitt (later spelled DeWitt), the Star's gruff city editor.This was Wirt's favorite of her series, and she is quoted as saying that she thought Penny was "a better Nancy Drew than Nancy was."

The Association of American Universities (AAU) and the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) are working together, through a Task Force on Scholarly Communication, to ensure a robust system of scholarly communication in the humanities and qualitative social sciences. The task force seeks to address the economic challenges facing scholarly monograph publishing and to exploit digital communication technologies to move the academy towards a sustainable, innovative, and open system for supporting humanistic research.
Specifically, the task force intends to address the inability of a market model to adequately support research monograph publication based primarily on scholarly merit. This prospectus describes a faculty title subvention designed to ensure the long-term economic viability of foundational scholarly monographic publishing, while promoting the emergence of innovative digital models:
This prospectus is based on "A Rational System for Funding Scholarly Monographs," a white paper prepared for the task force in November 2012 by Raym Crow of Chain Bridge Group:
The Association of American Universities (AAU), the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU), and ARL have drafted a proposal in response to the OSTP memo: The SHared Access Research Ecosystem (SHARE).
The proposal begins:
Research universities are long-lived and are mission-driven to generate, make accessible, and preserve over time new knowledge and understanding. Research universities collectively have the assets needed for a national solution for enhanced public access to federally funded research output. As the principal producers of the resources that are to be made publicly available under the new White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP)[1] memorandum, and that are critical to the continuing success of higher education in the United States, universities have invested in the infrastructure, tools, and services necessary to provide effective and efficient access to their research and scholarship. The new White House directive provides a compelling reason to integrate higher education's investments to date into a system of cross-institutional digital repositories that will be known as SHared Access Research Ecosystem (SHARE)...
Comments and questions about the draft SHARE proposal (PDF) are welcome—please send e-mail to
This white paper was commissioned by the Association of American Universities (AAU) and Association of Research Libraries (ARL) joint Task Force on Scholarly Communication to explore the inability of a market model to adequately support research publication based solely on scholarly merit and to identify projects through which AAU-ARL members might constructively intercede. The paper was prepared for the task force in November 2012 by Raym Crow of the Chain Bridge Group.
RLI issue 262 includes the following articles:
Presented at the 155th ARL Membership Meeting, October 2009.
RLI issue 266 includes:
This s a traditional print publication, freezing in time a series of fleeting e-mail messages that envision a future of publishing that goes well beyond print. We have heard many sanguine predictions about the demise of paper publishing, but life is short and the inevitable day still seems a long way off. This is a subversive proposal that could radically hasten that day. It is applicable only to ESOTERIC (non-trade, no-market) scientific and scholarly publication (but that is the lion's share of the academic corpus anyway), namely, that body of work for which the author does not and never has expected to SELL the words. The scholarly author wants only to PUBLISH them, that is, to reach the eyes and minds of peers, fellow esoteric scientists and scholars the world over, so that they can build on one another's contributions in that cumulative. collaborative enterprise called learned inquiry.
Scholarly Journals at the Crossroads: A Subversive Proposal for Electronic Publishing
Jean-Claude Guédon • 2001 • ISBN 0-918006-81-3 • 70 pp.
Dr. Guédon made a presentation on these ideas in May 2001 at ARL's 138th Membership Meeting, a meeting held in conjunction with the Canadian Association of Research Libraries in Toronto. The presentation was received very positively and, Dr. Guédon agreed to write a paper to encourage further discussion. The result is the paper in hand. In Oldenburg's Long Shadow is published by ARL with permission of the author in order to stimulate further discussion and new thinking on the important issues that he raises.
The "Tempe Principles" were agreed to by the undersigned individuals as a result of a meeting held in Tempe, Arizona, on March 2-4, 2000. Sponsored by the Association of American Universities, the Association of Research Libraries, and the Merrill Advanced Studies Center of the University of Kansas, the meeting was held to facilitate discussion among the various academic stakeholders in the scholarly publishing process and to build consensus on a set of principles that could guide the transformation of the scholarly publishing system.

Process Engineering White Papers
Measurement Best Practices
This 9-page PDF discusses way in which you can ensure your measurements are accurate, repeatable and reliable.
Improve Plant Safety and Availability through Advanced Measurement Diagnostics
Advanced diagnostics, some of which are available today, will go beyond alarming transmitter failures to actually predict impending failures in the complete measurement system. This will significantly reduce unscheduled shutdowns, and also reduce the risk of onscale failure.
Selecting pressure transmitters to improve centrifugal compressor efficiency

Best Practices in Demand and Inventory Planning for Chemical Companies
It's a classic scenario in chemical manufacturing- struggling to coordinate the opinions of sales with manufacturing and supply chain initiatives on what, when, and where products should be produced. The lack of supply chain coordination can lead to frequent changes in production schedules, expedited shipments, excessive stock outs, poor customer service levels, lack of visibility into future demand, inventory in the wrong place and at the wrong time, and erosion of your margins.

Successful Process Communications Best Kept Secret
Sure, the process engineer is proud of his HMI (human machine interface) and the operations manager is pleased with his KPI (key performance indicators) dashboard and how effectively the system is running with the implementation of his new MES/MIS solution. The historian and analytic solution get all the credit when a field equipment crisis is averted. Does anyone ever think to thank the lowly driver? Without data, the HMI is just a pretty picture, and the best analytics in the world are only ideas without any basis in fact. Plus, tens or hundreds of thousand dollars are spent on that, while the driver budget isn't even a line item on the spec sheet. The communication arteries and veins reach out to all areas of the field equipment, sending and receiving data, efficiently and tirelessly ensuring the ability to acquire, analyze and adapt to the situations at hand.

Maximize Returns from Precious-Metal-Bearing Catalysts
Many catalytic reactions rely on platinum, palladium and other precious metal catalysts. When the activity of the catalyst declines to the point that it must be replaced, the used catalyst can be sent to a refiner to recover precious metal. This 8-page paper discusses the variouis factors that should be considered when using a refiner.
Recovering Precious Metals from Spent Chemical Processing Catalysts
Most chemical processors use precious-metal-bearing catalysts for facilitating and/or speeding chemical reactions. These catalysts are typically composed of platinum group metals (PGMs). After a number of process cycles the catalysts lose their efficacy and must be replaced with fresh catalysts. Spent catalysts are sent to a precious-metals refiner for recovery and refining of the valuable PGMs remaining in this material. Selecting—and working with—a precious-metals refiner is critical to ensure highest possible returns and peace of mind with regard to environmental concerns. Download and read this 22-page white paper to learn more about recovering precious metals from spent catalysts.

By Staci Layne Wilson
While writer director Joe Begos is clearly influenced by old-school horror from the likes of Tobe Hooper (Lifeforce), Stuart Gordon (From Beyond), John Carpenter (The Thing), and even Stephen King (story's set in Maine), he still manages to put a new turn on an old saw (and yes: there is a cruel chainsaw death in Almost Human).
The film opens on the sudden and terrifying nighttime abduction of small town guy Mark (Josh Ethier). A hovering alien craft set its sights and lights on Mark. He is taken right in front of his best bud Seth (Graham Skipper) and his girlfriend Jen (Vanessa Leigh), who are powerless to stop their loved one from getting sucked into the sky. He disappears from their sight, and seemingly the world… for two years.
Then one wintery day, Mark's nude, frozen body is discovered in the woods by a pair of hunters. He may be frozen, but Mark is not dead. Pretty soon, the hunters are dead. Now we get a good look at Mark, and his soulless eyes. Emitting a decibel-defying howl (not unlike the aliens in the 1978 Invasion of the Body Snatchers remake), it's clear he isn't human anymore. In fact, as far as I'm concerned, Mark's not even "almost human" – for some inexplicable reason he goes on a mindless murder rampage throughout his home town, brutally offing everyone he sees.
I am a little fuzzy as to why he's doing this and why does not seem to have a clear M.O. (he uses any and all handy weapons) or purpose (later on, the usual goal of implanting alien parasites into hosts is revealed, but it still doesn't explain the previous hostility and empty corpses left behind).
Not that it much matters "why" – at least in this case. The film is well-acted (especially by stage veteran Skipper – I loved him in Re-Animator! The Musical), suspenseful, and yeah… brutal! Mark's a machine when it comes to killing, and there's no holding back on the bloodletting. The film does begin to run out of steam towards the end (though it's saved by a good "Gotcha!") and its shaky-cam conceit wears mighty thin (why is the entire room quaking when Seth is just standing there, talking on the phone?), but overall if you're looking for a vital, uber-violent sci-fi horror movie to settle in with some night, Almost Human is a safe bet.

How to Create a Wildlife Pond
A beautiful wildlife pond will attract a whole host of beneficial animals, birds and insects. Make one with sloping sides, to allow easy access for creatures to come and go, and leafy edges that offer habitat and cover.
- Excerpted from How to Grow Practically Everything
E-mail This Page to Your Friendsx
A link to %this page% was e-mailed
When to Start: Late winter or early spring
At Its Best: Spring to early fall
Time to Complete: 2-3 days
Materials Needed:
- hose
- shovel
- long length of wood
- level
- old carpet or pond underlay
- butyl pond liner
- sharp knife
- large stones
- mortar
- trowel
- pond plants
- aquatic soil
- pond baskets
- gravel
Mark Out the Pond
Using a hose, mark out the pond with sweeping curves for a natural effect. Calculate the area of liner you will need by adding twice the total depth (D), plus 18 inches extra, to the length (L). Then add twice the depth (D), plus 18 inches extra, to the width (W), and multiply the two answers (see also Step 2 below): (2xD + 18in + L) x (2xD + 18in. + W).
Dig Down
Dig out the whole area of the pond to a depth of 18 inches, and angle the sides so that they slope slightly. Leave a 12- to 18-inch-wide shelf around the sides at this depth. Then dig out a central area 3 feet deep, and an adjacent area, about 30 inches deep, creating two deeper areas to keep plants and wildlife frost-free in winter.

It's essential that the top edges of the pond are level all the way round, or water will drain out unevenly. Place a level on a straight plank of wood and test the level in six or seven different places, building up or removing soil as necessary.

|Reaper's Scorn
|Quest Overview
6,000 Exp.
10 Rift Crystals
Reaper's Scorn is a quest available in Dragon's Dogma.
Beside himself with grief, a father named Austine begs you deliver miraculous stones that might bring his departed son back to life.
Speak with Austine in the Craftsman's Quarter to obtain the quest.
Deliver a Wakestone to Austine.
- Obtain a Wakestone and give it to Austine.
Quest Successful
- The Wakestones' power pulled Austine's son back from beyond death's veil. Quest reward received.
This quest becomes available after completing Off With Its Head. Speak with Austine in the Craftsman's Quarter and he will tell you about his son Wilhem who can only be revived by a Wakestone. He has been collecting shards of a Wakestone, but he doesn't have enough. He asks for your help in completing the Wakestone.
Deliver a Wakestone to AustineEdit
Once you've accepted the quest Austine will give you two Wakestone Shards. In order to create a complete Wakestone one more shard is required. There are a number of ways to obtain this shard, but the eassiest way would be to venture into the Everfall and get it there.
It is highly advised to combine this quest with the quest Lure of the Abyss as there will be a Wakestone shard at the bottom of the Everfall, but only after accepting the quest from Austine. For more information on how to get this item in the Everfall see the quest Lure of the Abyss.
If in any way you have lost the shards or the full item prior to giving it to Austine there are other ways of obtaining shards:
- It can be bought from Fournival for 15,000 gold.
- It can be bought from Montebank at The Black Cat for 30,000 gold
- it can be bought from Jayce at south east of ancient quarry south entrance for 30,000 gold
- A shard can be found in a chest on the rooftops of the Venery, in a tiny attic-like room, accessible via a slanting roof, not far from the ladder in the southwestern corner of the Venery. (Note this shard is a forgery and will not form a wakestone)
- A shard can be found in the heart of Hillfigure Knoll.
- There is a Wakestone shard at The Abbey in the Wilted Forest, it's located behind the church in front of a gravestone.
- There is a wakestone shard at the top of the mid-level tower of the "The Ruins of Aernst Castle"
Once you've obtained three shards it will turn into a Wakestone. All shards must be in your inventory for this to happen. When you have the Wakestone return to Austine and use the stone on Wilhem to revive him.
Quest SuccessfulEdit
After completing the quest Wilhem returns to life and you get the quest reward.
