The initial round of lectures covers 300 hours of video on subjects including Chemistry, Physics and Non-Violence, with more content to come. The move by Berkeley is claimed to be a first by some, however some of the videos have been previously available elsewhere, including iTunes and Google Video; perhaps it's a first for YouTube.
Mostly from Western and Eastern Europe and USA - high quality photographs taken inside of the most elaborately architectured libraries around the world.
Thousands of intriguing photographs in a themed archive of our society and our planet at its most unpredictable, bizarre and imaginative moments.
Starting from 1827 to 2006 -
Can you remember your initial responses upon first seeing these photographs?
Besides the cell phone video of the hanging of Saddam, this has possibly become the second most controversial cell video.
We have all heard about these horrors all of our lives, but it is completely different to see a live video versus reading or viewing a picture. Also, the spread of the Web and Social media makes global information immediately available within hours.
In some cultures, this is a reality - modern technology helps illustrate and archive it for the world. Will these types of revelations prompt global societal pressures for changes.
If cell phone videos had been available decades ago, would many of the world's tragedies of the last century have been prevented.
Du'a Khalil Aswad, age 17.
Warning - These videos are truly haunting, so do not watch if you do not feel you can take this harsh dose of reality.
A government contractor that played a key role in the Internet's birth will oversee efforts to redesign the network from scratch.
n the late 1960s, BBN won the contract to build a network linking machines at four universities. That network, then known as ARPAnet, grew to include the millions that form the Internet today.
BBN also played an important role in early e-mail technology, and one of its scientists, Ray Tomlinson, was the designator of the "at" symbol now part of e-mail addresses.
Construction on GENI could start about 2010 and cost $350 million.
A new Internet could ultimately mean replacing networking equipment and rewriting software on computers, at a cost of billions of dollars. But any new network is likely to run parallel with the existing one for some time, with individuals and businesses gradually migrating over as they need more advanced applications.
Google Book Search allows you to instantly search the full text of over a million digitized books, but we thought that wasn't quite enough. Now when you search you'll get both digitized book results as well as records for millions of other books that still just exist in the analog world.
When you view these new added book records, you can often read reviews, a summary, or see what other people had to say about the book around the web. Since these books haven't been digitally indexed yet, you can't preview the text online, but if you've discovered something great, we offer links to buy the book or find it in a library near you.
We're doing this because we want to offer users the most comprehensive book search in the world - whether it's a book you can read online now, preview samples, see a few snippets, or just read what others have written about the book. We're still very busy digitizing millions more books, but want to make as much discoverable as possible today.
In February we were honored to host Sen. Hillary Clinton on campus for the first candidate visit, and last Friday we welcomed Sen. John McCain as our second visitor. We're flattered that the other candidates have responded positively to our invitations, and we're working to schedule their visits over the next few months.
Just as the Internet poses interesting policy questions, it also helps empower citizens with more information. So, to help potential voters learn more about the candidates and their views on the issues, we've posted the complete, unedited videos of these candidate talks on YouTube. Take some time to check out Sen. Clinton's talk and Sen. McCain's (as well as a special interview that Sen. McCain did with YouTube's CitizenTube).
A political channel debuts specially devoted to the Presidential candidates with comments from members
Enter The Coop, a Mozilla Labs project to experiment with adding social tools to the web browser. We want to create a fun and easy way to share links with your friends, and to browse the set of links that friends have shared with you. We also want to make it easy to subscribe to a friend in order to make it easy to keep track of the pictures, movies, blog posts and status information that they might be posting on a variety of services. There's a project page that describes The Coop in a bit more detail, and also has some mockups of how it might look (my favorite is the idea for a view that shows a stream of recently shared material.)
The MySpace primary will be held on January 1 & 2, 2008, before any of the official state primaries. Every user will be asked to vote for their favorite candidate.
Most of the candidates already have MySpace pages. See, for example, Hillary Clinton (7,468 friends), John Edwards (16,921 friends), Rudy Guiliani (private profile), John McCain (3,596 friends) and Barack Obama (89,465 friends).

Google is seeking a government/public sector information Librarian Here is the Official Job Description
We're often asked whether there are librarians currently working at Google. The answer is "yes!" I'm sure there are more, but a few people I've worked with directly come to mind: Ben Bunnell, a frequent poster here as well as an active participant in our librarian outreach, is a graduate of the University of Michigan's School of Information. Adam Mathes, currently a Product Manager on the Book Search team, also has an MLS, as does Cathy Gordon, a Business Development Director.
The follow-up question, typically, is whether or not we have current openings for librarians. We usually send people to www.google.com/jobs, where they can access the comprehensive list of Google job openings. However, I recently learned from a colleague in Google's new Public Sector Content Partnerships team that they're looking for a librarian to help the team navigate the world of public sector and government information, so I thought I'd send this on directly to you.
Content Analyst, Public Sector - Mountain View or Washington D.C.
Google is seeking an information professional to serve as the domain expert and analyst for a Public Sector Content Partnerships team. The candidate must have demonstrated background and skills in conducting quantitative and qualitative analyses of government and public sector information sources in support of strategic and tactical planning.

* Conduct quantitative and qualitative analyses of the information holdings of government agencies, courts, and public sector organizations at all levels, in the US and internationally.
* Identify public sector information formats and subject verticals to be integrated in Google's search services.
* Identify, qualify, and tier prospective partners and, in some cases, initiate communication with contacts.
* Assist in developing content acquisition programs and partnership terms as well as marketing communications for prospective partners.
* MLS, with focus in government/public sector information and 2+ years of relevant work experience; JD or legal background a plus.
* Demonstrated track record in producing analytical and narrative reports.
* Superior written communication skills.
* Extreme attention to detail.
* Ability to effectively operate with high energy and flexibility in a fast-paced, constantly evolving team environment.
* Command of office and presentation applications.
* Proficiency in a second language a plus.
* Fluency in internet and content industry economics, segmentation, and trends a plus.
* Active participant in professional librarian community a plus.
If this sounds like the job for you, you can apply online -- just follow the requisition link and click the "Add to job cart" link at the bottom. And of course, feel free to forward this message on to anyone whom you think might be a fit.

Ambareesh Baliga | Independent Analyst
Time to book profits?
Chat Transcript
|Ambareesh Baliga: Hi Everybody....
|kayun: Hi Ambareesh, any chance of Opto Circuit to bounce back to 100 level which is my purchase price? kindly advice what i should do about it. thanks alot in advance
|Ambareesh Baliga: Any stock, especially mid caps, if there is a corporate governance issue and/or balance sheet issues, the stock gets into a tailspin from which it doesn`t recover. The bounce back gets weaker & weaker. After the problems surfaced, the stock did bounce back on a number of occasions, but it wasn`t higher than the previous one... So any bounce back exit - don`t wait for your price.... See what`s happened to a number of other stocks - Tulip etc.
|koshyvarghese: Hi Ambreesh, I have 800 shares of Dishman Pharma at Rs 98/ share...Willing to hold for a term of 3 years ,even if it flls below my price....I can even buy more, if needed..What is the outlook foir this Company ???
|Ambareesh Baliga: Dishman has disappointed in the quarterly results but I don`t think that`s a cause of worry. Your buying price is not too high hence hold since you have a long term view. This stock could give you a 100% return.
|koshyvarghese: Hi, I am holding 1800 shares of NHPC at an average price of Rs 18 per share...Can hold it for a very long term....Kindly advice me on this scrip..thanks
|Ambareesh Baliga: People were tired of holding this stock but in your case the entry level was excellent and it`s paid off. It`s in a strong upmove and don`t be a hurry to book... Could see levels of 35
|neetins: Sir, I have buy IVRCL Infra 3000 stocks @40, please suggest me way forward for this stock
|Ambareesh Baliga: The only reason this stock was in action was due to the failed take over bid of Zee Group. The balance sheet is stretched and I don`t see high commitment levels from the promoters who have a miniscule holding in the company. Don`t wait for your purchase price - exit closer to 35/36
|padayamvalli: sir i am holding 300 hdfc@801,exide 500@141 and mahindraugine last 3yrs 500 @100 how much more i can expect by dec 13 or need any changes plase advise thanks in advance.
|Ambareesh Baliga: I expect a decent rally post budget as it should be a fiscally prudent budget which the FIIs will hail. Exit Mahindra Ugine & Exide in the post budget rally but hold HDFC for long term.
|marketanalysis2: Sir, I have shares of Idea Cellular at the rate of Rs 102/- per share. Please advice regarding the target and timeframe. I am willing to hold this stock for the long term. Thanks.
|Ambareesh Baliga: Idea has been a more consistent performer than Bharti which has been quite volatile. Idea can move to about 120/25 in the next 6-8 months and Bharti should be able to see levels of 390/400. However in the longer term, beyond next 2 years I see Bharti`s African business contributing majorly to the bottom line - hence I would suggest a shift to Bharti if you are looking at long term.
|praravinda_2012: sir,how you will link budget to stock market ?
|Ambareesh Baliga: Before any major such event, the market starts discounting the event.... This time marketmen don`t expect a big bang budget as it will be a tight rope walk for the FM. Hence we haven`t seen any pre-budget rally - In case the budget surprises on the positive - which I expect - as FM doesn`t have a choice but to create an environment to attract investments - the markets could move up post budget.
|dhiren.mona: Share Your views on Bartronics. can it become a multibagger??
|Ambareesh Baliga: There are two aspects to a number of such companies - The core business of the company and the Balance Sheet issues - The core business is still promising but the Balance Sheet doesn`t allow it perform.... Some of the companies are managing to work around - Wockhardt is a great example - Suzlon is trying to do it now. You may have read the headlines recently about Credit Card frauds and RBI now insisting on chip based credit cards - Bartronics has been waiting for this since the last 4 years with enough capacity which was lying idle - just because RBI had not insisted on it. They have also got into UID which should pay off. But whether I am recommending to buy @ current levels - No. As the management has promised time & again to deliver but have failed... Will wait for the green shoots before recommending. But since you have been holding - you have nothing much to lose -
|koshyvarghese: Hi, Can you suggest good mid cap banks in PSU for a long term holding of about 3 years..I have shortlisted Allahabad , Dena and IOB...Which is the best among them...Thanks
|Ambareesh Baliga: I would suggest Dena and Allahabd. Among the Pvt sector look at DCB.
|ppradeepkumar53: i had nhpc 580@36 and pfc 500@193,rec 100@121 should sell? no increase in rate
|Ambareesh Baliga: You are losing only in NHPC but the way it is moving you should get a price close to your entry price. The power sector is slowly but steadily looking up with increase in tarriffs and hopeful resolution of the feed stock issues. The first to benefit would be the finance related and ancillary companies - Hence I would suggest you to hold all these stocks from a 2-3 year perspective
|rj-2013: i have buy dlf pe 250, buying rate 4.8 , what m doing hold or sell
|Ambareesh Baliga: You have bought a Put so not to worry. Your losses are limited to the premium. The stock seems to be a trading momentum after some upgrades from broking houses - doubt whether you would get levels below 250 immediately before the expiry.
|stocktracker97: Ambareesh ji, I have purchased KEI Industries 2 years back at the rate of Rs 42/- per share. Now this scrip is quoting at Rs 13/- levels. Why this stock in the power cable segment has fallen so much? Kindly provide me with a logical target and timeframe. Do you forsee those levels again in the near future? Thanks.
|Ambareesh Baliga: Most of the mid cap and small caps are facing a trust factor issue - people don`t trust the figures being published by the management nor do they beleive any sort of announcements being made. After a spate of corporate governance issues which have surfaced, everyone has been painted with the same brush. Also though FIIs have been the driving force in the market in the last couple of years - they have been avoiding mid caps whereas the local investors especially the retail & HNIs are hardly there in the market. I don`t think you may get 42/- for this stock but it`s possible to have a bounce to levels of 25/26 in a good market.
|wiseinvestor77: Sir, I am holding 1000 shares of Jaiprakash Associates purchased at the rate of Rs 103/-per share. Please advice regarding the target and timeframe. I am willing to hold this stock for the long term. Thanks.
|Ambareesh Baliga: Buy more around current levels - the cement sale trigger keeps coming back - but exit around 90/95
|marketsingreen: Sir, kindly advice me regarding the long term target for Diamond Power Infrastructure as I am holding a huge chunk of this scrip at Rs 250/- levels. All brokerage houses were recommending this scrip at that time. Now this scrip is at Rs 92/- levels. Will I be able to see my purchase price in the near future? Also, how long will this scrip take to recover? Thanks for your help.
|Ambareesh Baliga: Hold - the fortunes should improve - the biggest problem for such companies is the cash flows from State Electricity Boards - but hopefully the financial situation for them should improve thus helping Diamond. I doubt whether you will get levels of 250/- but 140/- is a possiblity
|Ambareesh Baliga: Thanks everybody... though there are a number of question un-answered... I will catch up in the next fortnight...

Kiwiana Panorama (Auckland to Christchurch - Until October 2014) » Review by SU11Y
Ok so for people who don't know, on New Zealand Tours you have the Big Tiki which is the longest tour, all the other tours are sections of this tour, so I did Kiwiana which joins the Big Tiki after their first 3 days, what ends up happening is some people do short tours in the north or south and they join and leave your group when their tours are up, in this case the tour starts in the North so had a great time with the ppl in the North then they leave around Wellington, get some new ppl for the South and alot of ppl leave after Queenstown. Anyone who is considering doing just one island try and do both, its harder for the ppl leaving and joining in the middle then everyone who stayed on, if you have to shorten it I would recommend the Kiwiana that ends in Queenstown since alot of ppl end there.
North Island is mostly traveling and awesome optionals, so you can do some stuff here that is available in the south but more expensive, ie whitewater rafting, but your normal day is travel to a city for a night and do something super cool during the day as you travel. Rotorua is really cool and Wellington is nice but I dont remember the places so much as Ogo, rafting (black and white) and rock and ropes.
South Island is basically summarized as Queenstown, this is Las Vegas with gambling replaced with adrenaline. You get cheap drinks at all kinds of bars here and anything that will get your heart pounding is available here. DO CANYON SWING, everyone should do this, everyone on my tour agreed that this was intense, ppl who ski dived and bungeed agreed this was a different rush. After Queenstown Dunedin is cool but you will be exhausted from leaving Queenstown, Christchurch is interesting in a morbid sort of way with all the damage.
As for my crew, had Saul and Dyson and my God were they great, i havent done any other tours but the ppl who had agreed that they are awesome. The north has better places to stay then the south and the included breakfasts are better, the bus was super nice but wish it could play usb on the tv since some video souvenirs were on usb instead of dvd but thats my only real complaint. My tour was mostly Aussie with a few Canucks, a few Brits, an Irishman and a Yankee and we all seemed to get along well, pretty much everyone caught a cough during the trip so maybe multivitamins for my next one.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!

They probably won't bite.

If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

'American Idol' hopes for a lucky 13th season
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Keith Urban was wrapping up a recent interview about "American Idol" when Harry Connick Jr. breezed into a backstage room, ready for his turn.
"He talks and talks and talks," Connick said, gleefully needling his fellow "Idol" judge. "Get out."
Urban replied in kind, telling Connick he'd answered a reporter's questions for him: "I said it would make for a better interview."
The musicians' good-natured digs suggest a fresh start for "American Idol" after a sour season in which the bickering between judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj, with Urban stuck in the middle, was anything but entertaining.
Urban, newcomer Connick and Jennifer Lopez, who's returning after a season's absence, have the task of helping the singing contest find its footing and stop a ratings slide in its 13th season that begins Wednesday.
They have help from two new executive producers, replacements for the longtime team that guided "American Idol" through an unprecedented nine-year streak as TV's No. 1 program to the loss of that crown in 2013.
Besides the show's own missteps, other talent shows including NBC's hit "The Voice" and Fox's own "The X Factor," although struggling, have grabbed audience attention.
But the show's ability to rebound shouldn't be underestimated, say producers Per Blankens, who produced the successful Swedish "Idol," and Trish Kinane.
"American Idol" is "still the best format in the world. ... Our job is to go back to basics," Blankens said. That includes "a panel that's good, and like what they're doing, and could consider eating lunch together, because it all starts there."
The judges say they not only enjoy each other's company but also agree their role on the show is secondary.
"The focus should be in the front," Urban said, referring to the young singers he was assessing during a taping last month for the elimination stage known as Hollywood Week.
At a news conference Monday, the country star expanded on the panel's shared view of what is owed the contestants.
"It's a really daunting thing," Urban said. "You know, they've got no microphone, no audience, no band, no music, nothing, and they stand in front of us and sing. And all three of us have so much respect for that."
The judges also need to be educators, Connick said.
"This is my whole mantra for the show: If there's anything I can communicate, passion and education aren't exclusive. People say, 'I just want to play what I feel.' I play what I feel. But the definition of passion to me is learning everything about your craft," the jazz musician and singer said.
With what Kinane called solid "chemistry" in place for the panel, she and Blankens turned their attention to the production itself. The talent search was expanded to include outreach to people unable to get to big-city auditions, and an element called the "chamber" was added.
It involves a private room — save for a camera — in which contestants have a chance to ready themselves for their initial meeting with the judges, whether through rehearsal, prayer or just a grooming check, Kinane said.

Smothering friend
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 07-30-2003 - 4:21pm
Her DH works longer hours and when he is home she is home and never tries to call or come by and doesn't even accept calls when he is home. On the other hand, she has no problem tying me up when my DH is home whether it be on the phone or coming over and staying for long visits. I feel bad her DH works but I feel that she takes time away from me and my kids. Her son needs lots of attention because I suspect she ignores him a lot of the time.
I am going to go back to work p/t pretty soon and feel that especially then I will have less time to devote to her. She doesn't get it though. She accuses me of being mad at her if we go 2 days without talking. What I really can't stand is when she comes over uninvited and walks into my back yard. How do I make her leave in that situation? Does anyone else have problems with these types of friends? I would imagine WOH moms especially have to budget their free time to make sure they have enough family time. I don't want to completely lose her as a friend but she really needs to give me space. WWYD?

I am not a mean person, but I like family time with DH and kids and I know it won't last forever so I am making the most of it. I just need to find a way to let her know just because we are home we aren't always open to having visitors. I really don't know how to tactfully say that without hurting her feelings, I think it is all or nothing with her. It's even stranger she is so protective of her time with her DH, that tells me she knows whats up, she just doesn't care about MY time with MY DH and family.
I was hoping she would just pick up on the hints, the other friends who have started to get to possessive of my time usually do. They will either drop me completely as a friend or they will just pop over every once in a while which is great. I guess there are two types of SAH, one that does it to spend more time with family, and one that does it to spend more time on themselves.

sometimes, i simply dont answer the door or the phone, also, and just leave it at that.
if she accuses you of being mad, just tell her, no just busy.

The Best Haircuts to Look Younger
Trim almost 10 years off with these chic styles
By GoodHousekeeping.com
Morgan Littlefield, 35, After
Why This Cut Works
Face-framing layers retain the look of longer hair without the limpness. The side-swept bangs minimize Morgan's high forehead while playing up her baby blues. Streaks of buttery blond add extra oomph.
What You Can Do
If you don't have a specific cut in mind, tell the stylist what you don't want and let her make suggestions. Just don't be pressured into trying anything that doesn't sound right.

I had a last dash the end of my junior year going into senior year to "play catch-up" in quite enriching courses. I was able to do this because I focused so hard and heavy on pre-reqs for my major and career path. I was primarily concerned with grades, women and drinking only early on.
That's OK because I'm still where I wanted to be since I knew grad school would be where I start the true learning and research for my chosen profession (not law). I noticed those who chose business seemed to be one of the most affected by how they chose to spend their efforts to have success upon graduation.
Important thing to realize is that once you've graduated and left undergrad after those 4 years, it's not coming back.
Entrepreneurship will go through you some very interesting topics, though I wouldn't take it as a major by itself. Unless you want to be an entrepreneur, you'll want to get a double major or get it as a minor.
A couple buddies of mine who went the MIS route got jobs as soon as they got out of undergrad.
At a couple schools I've been to, finance was taken by those who didn't want the challenges of an accounting degree and management was the 'cop out' major.
Again these were my observations at a particular school. My intentions were not to insult anyone.
Lastly for the night...
Any input on this?
I'm in my last year as an econ major. So I'm biased. But this has my vote.

Based on your OP, you have to first inform us what you're interested in? Marketing bares no relation to any of the above listed. Management is kind of lame as you can't really learn how to manage in college classrooms. Intl' Business is kind of lame unless you are genuinely interested in how businesses work globally but still all the other majors could still lead to a job in "international business". Finance, MIS and Accounting are quite specific and not made for everyone. Entrepreneurship, like magagement and intl' business is also kind of lame. You can't really learn to start a business in a college class room.
You're gut is right, your finace's major has no say in the matter.
PS - I selected MIS, Marketing, Finance and Accounting as they're the most specific. I like Intl' business on paper but I don't think it's all that helpful as I work in the field and didn't even study it.
This. The four selected are really the only "hard" skills, although marketing can be done without a major easily. Intl business is the biggest joke, plenty of students are majoring in it and I would bet that I could outperform 97.5% of them in any of the requirements. You can read all about a culture in a book and how their business works, but if you don't have enough travel/diversity around you, you'll be behind.

I think its best you choose a specification that interests you most even though accounting seems to be winning the poll here. There are some definite advantages of an accounting career such as it being recession-proof, but it should ultimately be something you enjoy doing and are good at. You may also want to browse through the curriculum of a typical Bachelor degree in Accounting to see if the coursework looks interesting to you!

The intention of this blog is to highlight economists' work and provide material to support education and general understanding, especially as it relates to economics in New Zealand. It is not a forum for advocacy (other than better use of economics). Posts are categorised as Events, Insights or NZAE News (includes subcategories). Posts are also tagged with the JEL Classification and/or as considered appropriate (see list below). Authors are generally Councillors of the NZAE. Anyone can provide comments. Any views expressed are not necessarily those of the NZAE.
David Giles awarded Distinguished Fellow
Of all fields in economics, New Zealand is probably most renowned for producing top level econometricians. One distinguished contributor in this field is David Giles. Born in the United Kingdom in 1949, David moved to New Zealand as a young child. He went on to complete all of his university education in New Zealand at the University of Canterbury. Like many top New Zealand economists of his generation, he initially undertook a B.Sc. (majoring in mathematics and statistics) before completing the "Knight's Move" to complete an M.Com in economics in 1971. He joined the staff of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand in 1971, remaining there until 1977. During this period he had a secondment to the Task Force on Economic and Social Planning. He also took a two year break from the Bank over 1973-1975 to undertake his PhD at Canterbury. His thesis topic, supervised by Tony Rayner, was "Bayesian Applications in Econometrics".
His initial publications included contributions to the Bank's large-scale econometric modelling project. These were published in the Bank's Research Paper series in 1972. His first journal publication1 appeared in New Zealand Economic Papers in 1974 and in the following year he published an aspect of his PhD studies relating to Bayesian econometrics in the Journal of Econometrics.2 A number of his early published papers dealt with issues of urban and regional economics, now considered of major importance in development and growth theory, and being especially important for New Zealand.
In 1977, Dr Giles joined Monash University as a Lecturer in Econometrics, and was appointed Professor in 1978 (aged 29). He returned to the University of Canterbury as Professor of Econometrics in 1986. From 1994 onwards, he has been Professor of Econometrics at University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
His rapid rise to Professor reflected his prodigious research output. To the start of 2014 he has written two books, edited four others, contributed 16 book chapters, and published 132 refereed journal articles (not counting review articles and a host of other publications). His publications have appeared in journals such as: Econometrica, Journal of the American Statistical Association, Review of Economics and Statistics, Economic Journal, International Economic Review, and Journal of Econometrics.
David is ranked in the top 5% of authors by REPEC on almost all their metrics, and there are currently approximately 3,000 citations to his publications. He has an h-index of 25 (meaning that 25 of his papers have been cited at least 25 times). His most cited works cover a range of his research interests covering econometric theory, applied econometrics, and statistics. His book with V.K. Srivastava on seemingly unrelated regressions3 has been cited over 300 times, and other heavily cited fields of work include his numerous influential papers on pre-test estimation, his modelling of the hidden economy across a number of countries (including New Zealand), and his recent work examining the maximum likelihood estimator of parameters across a range of distributions. He has also been well cited for his econometric analyses of the pop music industry and the demand for British rugby league!
In addition to his own research contributions, David has been active as a journal editor. He edited New Zealand Economic Papers (volumes 21-22) over 1987-1988, and has been North American Editor of Journal of International Trade and Economic Development since 1996. He has also served on numerous editorial boards including those of Econometric Theory and Journal of Econometrics. Importantly, David has been an active supervisor of post-graduate research. While at the University of Canterbury, he supervised research papers and theses by a number of students who are now prominent in New Zealand's economic community.
His development of key fields of theoretical econometrics coupled with his applied econometric outputs, and his contributions to the development of other researchers through his journal editing and thesis supervision, underlies David Giles' distinguished contributions to economics. Accordingly, the Association is delighted to honour him with this award of Distinguished Fellow.

Dorian Owen elected NZAE Life Member
It is with great pleasure that the Association honours Dorian Owen with the award of Life Membership of the NZ Association of Economists.
Dorian gained a PhD at the University of Swansea in 1983. His first academic appointment was as a Lecturer at the University of Reading. Dorian moved to New Zealand in 1986, initially as a Senior Lecturer at Canterbury and from 1990 until the present as a Professor at Otago. Dorian's initial research area was monetary economics. His research interests have become more wide-ranging over time, developing an interest in the empirical modelling of economic growth and development in the mid 1990s and, more recently, an interest in the economics of sport. Dorian is one of New Zealand's most respected academic economists, having been published in several top journals. He has also served the profession in a number of ways (including, but not limited to, being a PBRF panelist, an external examiner of postgraduate theses for many New Zealand and overseas universities, and an organiser of the New Zealand Econometric Studies Group on three occasions). The award of Life Membership, however, is made not primarily for these achievements, but for the contribution he has made to the New Zealand Association of Economists over a long period of time.
Dorian was editor of NZEP from 1995-1997 (volumes 29 to 31). Dorian was a highly respected editor, having a reputation for being both fair and efficient. This was in the days before NZEP had a contract with a professional publisher. Hence, as well as overseeing the refereeing process and ensuring a steady flow of quality articles, the editor also had to make sure all articles were free of grammatical errors and were camera ready. Dorian performed all of these duties to a very high standard. More recently, Dorian was a member of the Search Committee for a new NZEP editor in 2006 and has been an Associate Editor and member of the Editorial Board of NZEP since 2007.
Dorian was a member of the NZAE Council from 1995 to 1999, serving as Vice President for a two-year period from 1997 to 1999. During his term on Council, he was also a member of the NZAE Education Trust.
Dorian's support of NZAE goes beyond his work as a Council Member and NZEP Editor. For many years Dorian's active participation in NZAE conferences has been a given. He has also encouraged his graduate students to attend NZAE conferences and to enter the various competitions available to graduate students. Dorian led by example in this regard, entering (and winning) the NZIER poster competition in 2010. Dorian has also been a judge for the Jan Whitwell Prize and the Statistics New Zealand Prize. One of Dorian's graduate students, whose involvement with NZAE began when Dorian encouraged him to attend an NZAE conference in the 1990s, many years later went on to become NZAE President.
In making this award of Life Membership to Dorian Owen, the NZAE Council recognises the sterling support he has given the Association over a number of years, as a Council member, Vice President, Editor of NZEP and general supporter of the Association.
Gary Hawke elected NZAE Life Member
One of the most important roles that any member of the New Zealand Association of Economists can perform for the association is that of editor of New Zealand Economic Papers (NZEP), the association's flagship journal. The association is delighted to honour Gary Hawke, a former NZEP editor, with the award of Life Membership of the New Zealand Association of Economists.
Gary became the fourth editor of NZEP in 1974 after a number of years of involvement with the association. He edited four volumes of the journal through to 1977. He maintained the high standard of the journal that had been set by his predecessor, Bert Brownlie. Many of New Zealand's top academic economists, econometricians and policy-makers published articles in the Papers during this period. Many began their publications career with articles published in NZEP while Gary was editor. As well as editing the journal, Gary actively contributed a large number of book reviews. Gary also served during this period as a Council member of the New Zealand Association of Economists. His involvement with the Association has continued since then as an active participant in the Association's annual conferences.
Gary has also served the community of economists in New Zealand through many other avenues. Contributions have included his academic roles at Victoria University of Wellington where he has served as Professor of Economics and Economic History, Director of the Institute of Policy Studies, and Head of the School of Government. Other roles have included Chairman of the New Zealand Planning Council, member of the Planning Council's Economic Monitoring Group, Chair of the Experts Advisory Group on Tertiary Education Reforms and Chair of the New Zealand Committee of the Pacific Economic Co-operation Council.
Gary is only the second person to be honoured both as a Life Member and as a Distinguished Fellow of the Association (which he received in 2005). The Distinguished Fellow award recognised his impressive quality, quantity and range of publications in fields covering, inter alia, economic history and public policy.
It is, however, his service to the Association that is the subject of this award. In making the award of Life Membership to Gary Hawke, the NZAE Council recognises the sterling support he has given the Association over a number of years as an Editor of NZEP, Council member and long-term active supporter of the Association.

Call for Papers by 30-Oct-14: Special issue on temporary employment
Many economies have recently experienced a growth in temporary employment within their services sectors, and both the determinants and implications of this phenomenon are of interest to academics and policymakers. Past literature has often suggested that changes in the temporary workforce pool are the result of progressive labour market deregulations and shifting preferences towards increased employment flexibility. Alternatively, it has also been observed that demand for temporary workers is more cyclical in nature (Bentzen, 2012)1. The implications of temporary employment for the productivity, job security and well-being of both temporary and permanent workers are equally important. Specifically, this special issue aims to examine a variety of facets specific to temporary workers, such as (but not limited to) the aforementioned, in order to highlight the key determinants, challenges, concerns and related outcomes of the temporary workforce.to) the aforementioned, in order to highlight the key determinants, challenges, concerns and related outcomes of the temporary workforce.
It is envisaged that the special issue will focus on (but not limited to) key areas relating to:
- Labour market flexibility reforms and implications
- Promotion of the temporary workforce industry
- Cost-Benefit analysis of a two-tiered labour market
- The comparative levels of productivity between temporary and permanent workers
- Levels of job security and well-being associated with temporary employees
- Stakeholder perceptions of non-permanent employees
This special issue is to be guest-edited by Associate Professor Gail Pacheco (email: email@example.com) and Professor Tim Maloney (email: email@example.com) of the Department of Economics, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand.
The Australian Journal of Labour Economics is a journal published by the Centre for Labour Market Research (CLMR) at University of Canberra, Australia.

The Long Term Prospects for Health Spending
Dr Brian Easton, Economic and Social Trust on New Zealand
ABSTRACT: Last year the Treasury released its long term fiscal projections which look up to 40 years out. Although initially the big concern was demographic change and New Zealand superannuation, it soon became clear that a major issue was public sector health spending. Brian, who was on the group advising the Treasury on the projections, will explain the population and health projections and outline what they might mean for public policy. The projections are at http://www.treasury.govt.nz/government/longterm/fiscalposition/2013
BIO: Dr Brian Easton has had a long involvement in health economics and in economic forecasting (and has made occasional forays into demographic analysis). He is currently writing a history of New Zealand from an economic perspective .which includes an account of the history of the health system and which is heavily dependent on the analysis of population change (especially where the economic data are deficient). Brian is Research Associate of the National Institute for Demographic and Economic Analysis and an Honorary Fellow of the Wellington School of Medicine of the University of Otago. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society, a Chartered Statistician, and a Member of the Royal Society of New Zealand, and a Distinguished Fellow of the New Zealand Economic Association.

Redemption Island is a scary place to be. One loss and your game is over. But for a challenge dominator like Ozzy Lusth, could going there be the best way to win the game? After all, there's no better way to get in good with a jury then bonding over being blindsided and uniting against the common foe that voted you out. Is it worth the risk for Ozzy — who is rocking something of a Soundgarden-era Chris Cornell look these days — to be voted out on purpose in the hopes of winning over jury members and winning enough challenges to go back into the game right before the finals (and then collecting all those votes from your new friends)? That question was on the returning player's mind when we spoke in Samoa the day before filming began on Survivor: South Pacific (premiering Sept. 14 on CBS). "It's a scary way to play the game," he acknowledged. But that doesn't mean he won't do it. Check out the video player below to see Ozzy's thoughts behind this controversial strategy. And for more Survivor news and views all season long, follow me on Twitter @EWDaltonRoss.
Wow, Ozzie's really into it. I'm looking forward to seeing how he operates this season. If he has a showmance again, I wonder if Amanda will throw her noodles at the TV screen.
I wish Boston Rob would come back.
Please, no. Just… no.
That's not even funny
WHY?? The bastard has had 4 chances…GET OVER IT!!
why?i mean he just won last season
- Mia
"worth the risk to be voted out on purpose" — How would someone be voted out on purpose? Aside from asking people to vote for you (which would sound like a con), you really can't.
The first season that Ozzy was on, the season where the teams were divided racially, was my all-time favorite. I was ready to hate it, but the players were so likable and relatable…and Yul, who was it all, was fabulous. That season ruined me for all later seasons of Survivor. Go Ozzy!
Same, it has been my favorite. That little team of 4 was just amazing. Ozzy was just brilliant and the way Yul played socially…just wow!
- Marty
c jones
forget Boston rob, he won. bring back Russell again
No doubt Ozzie is a physical challenge god, and he might indeed have gotten stronger since last time. But let's not forget he wasn't gifted with much brain, so if there's a mental challenge – something more complicated than "Spell "Ozzy" – he's doomed to defeat.
Oh, who am I kidding? Redemption Island was designed for one reason only – to keep veterans in the game longer after they had been fairly voted out. Once Ozzy arrives, no more mental challenges! Take note, brains-over-brawn newbies!
The very last challenge that ozzy involved a complicated 3d puzzle. It has been described as the most difficult puzzle ever on suvivor. Although he did have a bit of a head start on the other competitors, he solved the puzzle first and won the challenge. He isn't really that dumb, he just seems like he smokes alot of pot.
- JackRabbit4
- wsugar
I hope he doesn't do that for two reasons.
A) I'd like to see him actually play; odds are he'll eventually get unlucky and lose.
B) Even if he wins, I hate to see people get lined up against him and just eliminated similar to how Matt was eliminating everyone.
Neither seems appealing to me.
The good news for Ozzy is that, unlike Matt, he won't have a multi-person duel. I almost wonder if Matt got a little complacent when the duels became more of a "don't lose" and then the last duel he lost focus. But Matt proved it could be done. What Ozzy would have to calculate, though, is that if he pulled it off and got back in, he'd need to win immunity each time there's no Redemption Island vote, otherwise they'd do what I'm sure Rob intended had Matt made it back again…vote him right to the jury knowing there's sympathy involved.
Yes, but if Ozzy thinks he's going to get sympathy votes from a jury, he's wrong. It's going to be pointed out that he's already competed TWICE, and the first time he was a runner-up and already won $100K, not to mention the target on his back as being great at challenges. The only way he's going to win is to do what Boston Rob did–dominate, dominate, dominate, and pray he has immunity every time a vote comes up on his tribe.
- Meli
- Ken
I like Ozzy, I really do, but he's really not a good enough strategic player to make that work. And he's assuming that he's still a strong enough physical player to keep winning on Redemption Island as well.
Good point, he has gotten older. He may not be as strong as before. But then again the cast does not look to strong.
He said at some point somewhere that he is stronger now.
- Icon
I agree- I like him, but he's not patient or balanced enough to strategize. He's the typical player- nice to everyone when he's in the bottom of the pack & then turns obnoxious once he's got some hand. I loved the Cook island season, but I wonder if the cast was particularly un-athletic, which may be why he dominated so much. Seemed like that season they had other agendas in casting than the usual athleticism, looks & outrageous personalities. Will be good to see how he does, though, always fun to watch.
- wsugar
I don't watch this show, I know nothing about this guy, but everytime his picture shows up, I think… "Grieco!!!"
I think he looks like Joey Lawerence from Blossom – WHOA!
I get Joey Lawrence, too
- Alb
Please take this stupid redundant show off already!!!
Please don't make us read your stupid redundant posts already!!!
- Meli
This is reason #489457349 why Redemption Island is the stupidest thing this show has ever done. Or at least a close second to the final three. Dalton, stop encouraging this stuff. Call out the producers for ruining the show.
Michael KM
This is also why it's bad to have veterans play with newbies. They have had time to think over their mistakes, get emotional distance from the game, and come back with a winning strategy. Plus, if they're a fan favorite, that means they were already good to begin with. Everytime the veteran dominates- Steph in Guatemala, Rob in Redemption Island, and especially the Favs in Fans vs. Favs. The one exception, Russel in RI, almost proves the rule. His tribe over-reacted, threw a challenge, and as Ozzie rightly notes, never recovered. If Survivor are intent on bringing back old players, bring back some who never went the distance (i.e., didn't make the jury) but had realy potential.
I almost totally agree with you, but I think that people who made juries should also be potentials.
Two of the best winners didn't make it to the finals in their first season: Boston Rob (who lost pre-jury), and Parvati.
The producers should definitely look deeper into the pool of past players. Great people to bring back would include: Kenny (Gabon), Betsy (Samoa), Marty (Nicaragua).
I would also love to see Penner and Shambo play again, but they are a different story.
Who do you guys think has potential to win, but didn't make it to the finals in their season?
Russell proves an even older rule on Survivor: DO NOT MESS WITH THE PURITY OF THE GAME. The game of Survivor has an uncanny ability to karmically mess with tribes who throw challenges. It has throughout its history.
- Joe
- Michael KM
I know I am in the minority but I enjoy seeing returning players try again.I think Ozzy has a good chance if he can dominate again.

Pot Meet Kettle
Hey Stephen Hawking. Retards is one word.
- Pot Meet Kettle
I will say this much, I think the producers did a much better job this time around of picking former players who could use a Survivor "redemption". Rob and Russell may have needed another chance to win, but neither needed redeeming. Coach and Ozzy have both proved to be capable, but deficient players in the past. Let's see if they've learned anything from their previous seasons and in the years since.
Survivor is over
the concept of letting old players back in the game SUCKS. I hate it. They had their shot.
Redemption Island also SUCKS. It takes the sting out of the jury vote. Tribal Council is the best part of Survivor and it's totally lost its impact because the voted off player isn't really going anywhere…
stupid idea. The longer he can stay in the game without going to redemption island, the fewer challenges he has to leave once he gets there
i love ozzy !! watch back all his season !! and my prayers are for him !!!!! no one has ever played like him. he is born to be a survivor !!! hopefully he will dominate in challenges, OZZY IS STILL OZZY !

October 4, 2004
When principal Gayle Householder first saw Franklin East Elementary School's original playground, it had an ambiance that made her want to reopen it for special-needs children and kindergarten students.
The railroad ties, seesaws, tire swings and tall equipment easily brought nostalgic memories of her own childhood.
But every piece of equipment was now prohibited for student use based on a federal law that has created new safety requirements for school playgrounds.
"It was beautiful. It was just a thing of the past," Householder said. "The important thing is that our kids are safe when they're playing."
The Mesa Unified School District rebuilt the entire playground during Householder's first two years at the school, as many schools begin to creat e improved special-needs playgrounds.
Two aging wheelchair swings that used metal chains to restrain children were replaced with the most up-todate equipment. Four thick, red plastic swings allow special-needs students to be strapped securely into seats similar to those on a roller coaster and be pushed by a teacher.
Most important, Householder said, while the old atmosphere is gone, a new cheerful playground means safer fun for the students.
"They'd rather be out here than in the classroom," said teacher Janet Pomey.

Geraldo Rivera is dealing with the backlash of his 70 is the new 50 risqué selfie posted via twitter. His daughter and his employer, Fox News, were not too happy with the picture. Rivera is now going on the record and blaming tequila. The TV host tells New York's PLJ radio, I had a couple of drinks, it was 2:30 in the morning and I was like, dammit I like that picture, and since I learned how to use Twitter a couple weeks ago, I thought, what a great idea! When he woke up the next morning, he had a text from his daughter that read, take that thing down right now! But it wasn't until a demand from his network that the TV personality knew he didn't have a choice but to remove the shot.

I signed a home improvement contract last saturday (3/09/13) the contract gives a notice explaining the right to 3 day cancellation and I initialed it but then the contract also states that the 3 day right to cancell shall not apply if this contract is negotiated at the contractor's business location. I would like to cancell today which is the 1st day of the 3 day right but contractor says that i cannot cacell because i signed it in the place of business. IS it true? Does it mean i cannot go out of the contract anymore? Thanks a lot
You need to have your contract reviewed by an atty. Without seeing it, no one can actually opine. I've attached a link to contracts you have a statutory right to cancel and their time frames. Hope this helps.
My colleague's right. Generally the act proving for a consumer's right to cancel within 3 days doesn't apply if the contract is entered into at the home improver's premises, but it depends how much the contract is for, whether you initiated the negotiations, etc.
See the attached, linked again.

Population Genetics of Social Insects
We have moved!
Welcome to our research group!
We are using social insect species (including honey-, bumble- and stingless bees) as model to elucidate the molecular basis of evolutionary innovations. These species have evolved several unique biological characteristics and interact with a variety of abiotic and biotic environmental factors. We are interested in the natural variation and the evolutionary processes which provide the basis of modified gene function and phenotypic differentiation.
