The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
G2 -- BOLIVIA -- Bolivia government, rivals say talks pact imminent
Released on 2013-02-13 00:00 GMT
Mon Sep 15, 2008 3:54am EDT
By Eduardo Garcia and Simon Gardner
LA PAZ (Reuters) - Bolivia's government and rightist rivals said on Monday
they had nearly agreed on a framework for dialogue to try to defuse a
political crisis and hoped to clinch a pact at new talks later in the day.
President Evo Morales met for talks into the early hours with Mario
Cossio, governor of gas-rich Tarija province and representative of a
clutch of pro-autonomy right-wing governors bitterly opposed to his
socialist reforms.
They agreed to resume talks later on Monday, once Morales returns from a
visit to a summit South American presidents are holding in Chile to try to
broker a resolution to the crisis, which flared into deadly clashes that
killed as many as 30 people.
An unstable country with massive natural gas reserves at the heart of
South America, Bolivia has been rocked in the past week as supporters of
opposition governors stepped up rejection of Morales' plans for
pro-indigenous constitutional reforms.
Morales, among a new generation of leftist leaders in Latin America and
allied closely with Venezuela's anti-Washington leader, Hugo Chavez, has
accused his opponents of striving to topple him.
"It is better to take a bit more time to make sure we get it right rather
than end badly or not at all," Cossio told reporters after a second
session of overnight talks at the presidential palace.
"So we have agreed to give ourselves another break and see each other
again tomorrow night once the president returns from Chile," he added. "We
are advancing well. I hope we can have everything finished by tomorrow."
Chavez and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva are among leaders
due to attend the summit in Santiago.
Fabian Yaksic, vice minister for decentralization, said he government also
hoped to reach an agreement for a formal dialogue framework later on
The talks came after the government imposed martial law on Friday in a
restive northern province where more than a dozen people were killed in
clashes pitting Morales' backers against those of right-wing governors.
A main opposition protest leader said on Sunday his followers would end
roadblocks that have crippled eastern Santa Cruz province to help foster
At the top of the agenda for talks is the new constitution that Morales,
Bolivia's first indigenous leader, is trying to push through to formalize
rights for the country's Indian majority and institute land redistribution
Bolivia's political polarization deepened after a recall vote in August
that Morales won in a landslide but that also strongly endorsed governors,
who want more autonomy to run their provinces.
Troops are seeking to gain control over Cobija, capital of sparsely
populated Pando province in the Amazon near Brazil, two days after Morales
declared martial law in the area.
Health Minister Ramiro Tapia said from Cobija on Sunday he had a list of
14 confirmed dead, killed in what the government says was an ambush by
opposition groups against pro-Morales peasant farmers. He also said 50
people were still missing.
Two others were killed in a separate clash.
One government official has put the death toll from days of clashes at
about 30.
Morales accused backers of Pando's opposition governor, Leopoldo
Fernandez, of ordering a massacre and the government has vowed to arrest
him. The government says it will seek a 30-year prison term.
Fernandez denies the charge.
The violence last week forced a temporary cut in exports of natural gas to
Argentina and Brazil, Bolivia's main revenue source.

I was thrilled when we opened the box. It was much prettier than the picture. It is a complex silver with dark brown brushed stain accents. It looks much more expensive that it is. I ordered this for my own home remodel, but will use this in a client's remodel, too.
This is a beautiful mirror, but the color is not exactly as pictured. It is silver but it is accented with a darker color. Fortunately, for me the darker color matched my cabinets. Other than that I love the mirror.

Bank of England official Andrew Haldane said the strength of U.K. banks has improved compared with their counterparts in Europe, The Scotsman newspaper reported, citing an interview published on its website.
British lenders are in a "relatively better position,'' and the U.K. has "strengthened our sea walls on capital and liquidity," he said.
"But if no-one puts risk on the table, then there's too little risk-taking, which is exactly where we are at the moment," he said.
Haldane also said that it's a concern that there have been no new banks created in the last hundred years.
"We've had a bit of entry since then,'' he said. "Looking around I see Virgin Money, Sainsbury's and Tesco with headquarters in Edinburgh and that's terrific."

Jason Segel Twitter Hacked: Star On Flight From Sydney While Tweets Sent Out
Jason Segel is used to putting words in the mouths of puppets. He is not, however, used to having words put in his own mouth. Or Twitter page, as it were.
The "Muppets" co-writer and star's Twitter account sent out a few seemingly random messages on Thursday night, including one that said, "Are you still up? Want to come over?"
On Friday Segel had the tweets deleted and sent out a flurry of messages indicating that he had been hacked while on a plane right back from Sydney, where he had been premiering his film with Kermit & co.

Anatomy Of A Sandy
by Barbara Lippert on Nov 1, 11:57 AM
Now that Sandy has been designated a "superstorm" (and who decided that and why?) it seems that in the last four days, Northeasterners have cycled through five or more stages of grief, even though "severe cabin fever" or "fury at Con Edison" might not register on the classic Kubler-Ross model.

ERIE COUNTY, N.Y. — As high school graduations and proms inch closer and closer, the likelihood of house parties, mixed with alcohol and minors increases.
A new law recently passed by the Erie County Legislature, would hold adults, hosting parties at their homes, accountable for any underage drinking.
"Adults have to realize that the law is the law, and the drinking age is 21," said Capt. Greg Wickett with Hamburg Police. "Not only is it a moral issue, but it's a legal responsibility that you cannot allow this to happen, knowingly, at your residence."
Right now, it is illegal in New York State, to serve alcohol to minors, but the proposed Social Host Law, would close any gaps or loopholes.
If homeowners throughout Erie County know teens are drinking at their residence, regardless if they're home or not, they could face a fine, or a misdemeanor charge on the third offense.
"This applies to the parents, or the adult, or property owner knowingly allowing this to happen at their property," said Erie County Legislator Lynne Dixon, I – Hamburg.
Dixon worked with the Erie County Council for the Prevention of Alcohol and Substance Abuse for about a year to pass the law. According to the council's executive director, Andrea Wanat, 20 percent of local high school students binge drink.
"Underage drinking has been a problem nationally, statewide and locally," said Wanat. "We are above the statewide average, which is an issue."
The legislation still needs to be approved by the county executive, who can then decide whether to hold a public hearing.
Meantime, Dixon said she's hopeful the law will be authorized and go into effect soon.

A New Jersey law that would legalize sports gambling in the state is under review by a federal judge who said he would issue a ruling in two weeks.
Lawyers for the U.S. argued today during a hearing in federal court in Trenton before U.S. District Judge Michael Shipp that a 1992 federal law requiring states to restrict sports betting prevents New Jersey's actions. Attorneys for New Jersey said the federal law violates the state's sovereignty.
The U.S. can't "regulate the state's ability to govern its citizens or the judgment of the government of the state of New Jersey," Theodore Olson, an attorney for the state, told Shipp.
The federal statute "does not require the state of New Jersey to enact laws" Paul Fishman, U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, argued for the government. It "doesn't require the state to do more than what they were doing."
Fishman also told the judge that gambling undermines the integrity of professional and college sports.
The law, signed by Republican New Jersey Governor Chris Christie in January 2012, would permit wagering on professional and college sports at racetracks and Atlantic City casinos.
The lawsuit was filed by the National Collegiate Athletic Association and several professional sports organizations to stop the law from taking effect.
New Revenue
Legalized sports gambling could generate $1 billion in bets and as much as $100 million in new annual revenue for the state in its first year, William J. Pascrell III, a lead lobbyist for the measure, said in an earlier interview.
Sports organizations including the National Football League and Major League Baseball sued New Jersey's government in August to block betting in the state. The National Hockey League, National Basketball Association and NCAA joined the complaint.
The 1992 federal law bans sports betting in all but four states: Nevada, Delaware, Montana and Oregon. New Jersey said in a court filing that the law is unconstitutional.
The case is National Collegiate Athletic Association v. Christie, 12-4947, U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey (Trenton).

This review is from: Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition (Hardcover)
Nota Bene: it's "Merriam-Webster" and NOT just "Webster's". The latter is a very inferior knock-off.
I also own the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, thinking that if I went high-brow it would make me a better person. The OED is actually a pretty good dictionary (unlike the awful Webster's), but it comes in two, large volumes which makes it impractical as an easy reference when reading on the couch; plus, I haven't run across any definition that I needed that was done better for the purpose of quick understanding than Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary does it. (I spent some time looking in both, believe it or not).
In addition, the computer software that comes with the 11th edition of Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary is really good; very helpful when using Word ... highlight a word and right-click to bring up the definition.

5.0 out of 5 stars superb reference tool,
audrey (white mtns) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Edition, Unindexed (Hardcover)
This is a fine dictionary. It even smells good. Too hefty to be portable, it is nevertheless a perfect desk dictionary, starting with a seventeen-page explanatory chart and notes, an essay on the English language, and a guide to pronunciation. te volume continues with excellent definitions that are sometimes accompanied by b&w line drawings, and finishes with sections on foreign words & phrases, biographical names, geographical names, signs & symbols in various fields of endeavo, punctuation, capitals & italics, documenting sources, forms of address and an index. In addition there is a Win/Mac CD-ROM disk of the dictionary that features a number of search options.
This is the most comprehensive collegiate dictionary to date, with many new entries since 1996's tenth edition, and it is well organized wih a nice clean font (though it may be a bit troublesome for those who are far-sighted). It always amazes me that we can purchase so much information so inexpensively. This is a terrific resource -- it's time to update your dictionary!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the price for the CD-ROM alone,
This review is from: Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition (Hardcover)
Unlike prescriptive dictionaries such as the American Heritage Dictionary, which rely on self-appointed panels of "experts" to decide what correct usage should be, descriptive dictionaries such as this and Merriam-Webster's Third International try to keep pace with how the language is actually used by speakers. This may explain why the Webster's Collegiate dictionaries have been the standard reference in the American publishing industry for a long time.
This is easily the best dictionary of its class, period. It has an extraordinarily large number of entries and its definitions are concise and easy to understand. The only shortcoming is that there are few example sentences, but this is a necessary tradeoff to keep the size under control. For sheer richness of information it doesn't compare to the New Shorter OED, for example, but then again you can't toss the NSOED into your backpack and take it to school with you. This book is light and compact.
But the thing that really sets this dictionary apart is the CD-ROM. You can search for words using up to 15 different operations, including "rhymes with," "is a cryptogram of," "homophones are," "etymology includes," etc. You can use AND and OR operators to combine the various operations. These search functions are a tremendous asset to anybody who works with words, particularly writers, poets, and songwriters.
And did I mention that you get a free one-year subscription to their online dictionary with your purchase?
This package is a tremendous value for the money and really belongs in every home and office. And I have no doubt that Webster's 11 will continue to be the gold standard in the publishing industry for the foreseeable future.<I> --This text refers to an edition which conatins a CD-ROM.

5.0 out of 5 stars The New Standard for American Dictionaries,
Amir Aharoni (Israel) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition (Hardcover)
This edition of the M-W's Collegiate Dictionary sets a completely new high standard for American dictionaries and in fact -- for any reference book anywhere. This dictionary is everything that a good reference book should be -- self-contained, complete, easy-to-use, extremely well printed, and perfectly consistent. The abbreviations are not overused, the definitions are clear and exhaustive. Inflected forms and alternate spellings are easy to locate and identify. The usage and synonyms notes are of an enormous value for anyone who reads or writes English, and for me it clarified many meanings and different usages (i am not a native English speaker). Another great thing is that the editors treated the etimologies with due respect, so even though this dictionary is supposed to be "abridged", it is very complete. And the quality of printing is so wonderful, that i enjoy reading this dictionary just for fun.
Although it is called "Collegiate" it is useful to any person of any age and background, not just for college students. Needless to say, it never disappoints when i'm looking for words.
To put it short -- i don't have enough words of praise for this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book; bad CD,
pclare (her editing desk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition (Hardcover)
This dictionary is indispensable to anyone in the book publishing industry, but I mourn the loss of the prior CD's format and functionality. I must use this reference daily as a copy editor, and because the speed of a CD search is crucial, I'm stuck with the new version.
The format/layout is way too cumbersome, and offers no viewing options other than color and text size. I was able to shrink the Web10 program into a 3x4 inch box that resided permanently on my computer screen alongside a Google window and a style sheet document window. The new program takes up half my desktop at its smallest usable size.
The entries were much clearer in the old version, as well. Syllables used to be notated with dots, which could not be mistaken for hyphens. They are now indicated by what looks like hyphens, whereas hyphens look like en dashes. When the #1 reason you're looking words up is to verify things like hyphenated spellings, this is a big deal.
I would have liked some sort of F5=clear key, too, since the extra steps needed to enter a new word are redundant and irritating. It used to be that as soon as I hit enter, the entry was already highlighted and ready for the next entry, no extra steps or keystrokes needed. And depending on how I proceeded through the first entry, only sometimes am I able to scroll down a word list; often the list just stops or duplicates the main entry. If I want to look for variations I have to hit clear or backspace out of the word, then start over again.
Also gone is the tables list. I think the tables are still there, but you have to know that and look up a word that would then offer you the table. I learned a lot from those tables in the Web10 edition simply because curiosity led me to view them from the menu.
That this is the consummate dictionary is undisputed, and for students or anyone else who's using it as an occasional lookup tool it's unbeatable. If you're using it every day, all day, however, its functionality will fight you. I was looking forward to that day that when I could officially transform rest room into restroom, baby-sitter into babysitter, and E-mail into e-mail. Now that it's arrived, I wish I could just find a list of the changes so that I could check that list exclusively, then use my Web10 CD for the rest until Web12 comes up with a design that works for the folks who use it the most.

3.0 out of 5 stars Still much to be desired,
George Chen "http://GeorgeChen.tw" (Tainan, Taiwan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition (Hardcover)
Being a user of Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary for about 20 years, I am disappointed with this new edition. To be more specific, I am disappointed with the free CD-ROM came with the dictionary.
Using dictionaries for me means sitting in front of a PC monitor with fingers on keyboard. When I can find the definitions of words in less than a second, why should I waste 20 to 30 seconds in turning the pages. Accordingly, my review here focuses more on the interface of the CD-ROM dictionary than on the contents itself.
In my PC, I installed Collins Cobuild ver 3.1, Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English 4th Edition, Macmillan English Dictionary, ver 1.1, Cambridge International Dictionary of English ver 1.03, The New Penguin English Dictionary 2001, The American Heritage Dictionary 2000, Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary ver 3.0, Bookshelf 98, and Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary & Thesaurus, Deluxe Audio Edition ver 2.5. On another hard disk, I had an older Oxford English Dictionary on the legacy Windows NT 4.0. I have virtually all CD-ROM dictionaries available in the world. For this reason, I would say MW11 CD-ROM still has much to be desired.
There had been the MW Deluxe Audio Edition ver 2.5 installed in my PC. When I tried to install the free CD came with MW11, I was requested to remove the ver 2.5. Unfortunately, the ver 3.0 free CD is a dumb one, which ironically expelled the deluxe edition. I later tried this on another hard disk, on which ver 2.5 could be installed after ver 3.0 had been installed. Both versions could coexist harmonically. With multi-version CD-ROM dictionaries running in my PC, I can easily learn that the wonderful features with this MW11 CD-ROM mentioned by other reviewers were just old ones in most of the others.
MW might never know how fancy and user-friendly the other CD-ROM dictionaries are, how colorful the others are, and how fast the others are running. MW might never know corpus integration is now a trend in making CD-ROM dictionaries. MW might never know audio function is now a must for CD-ROM dictionaries. The free CD-ROMs came with LDOCE, MED, and RHWUD have wonderful audio function. LDOCE and MED even contain both British and American accents.
Some other awkward designs worth mentioning here are that for continuous looking up in this CD-ROM, one has to use mouse to highlight the searching box prior to a new search, which is very annoying when you are looking up a lot of words. On Cobuild, CIDE, MED, etc, you just key in work, then press Enter. Repeating this sequence, the definitions were retrieved one after one, and the searches keep going without a single move of the mouse.
For the same word, you have to toggle between dictionary and thesaurus, followed by a click on Search button to retrieve the contents in either reference. On Bookshelf 98, and Cobuild one search can retrieve all the information in each reference.
Now you see how premature the MW11 free CD-ROM is. The unabridged Webster's Third New International Dictionary share the same interface with the collegiate edition, and has been challenged by users for years. There is no need to argue about how far MW is lagging behind its competitors. MW had better thoroughly investigate the market status and redraft its roadmap. Sidney Landau has stated in his book Dictionaries, The Art and Craft of Lexicography, 2nd Edition:
Unabridged dictionaries in print will largely become a thing of the past; if produced at all in print form, they will be limited editions for collectors and libraries. Desk dictionaries, which include the American college dictionaries, will remain attractive commodities in print, as will shorter versions, but will suffer from increased competition from electronic alternatives produced by the print publishers themselves or by others whom they license.

5.0 out of 5 stars Significantly Improved Classic,
Daniel L Pratt (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition (Hardcover)
This dictionary, MW11 for short, may be the first to list bubkes, coscenarist, or MEGO. Entries now appear in a sans-serif font, basically an improvement, though the abbreviation for Illinois looks absurd.
The cover claims 10,000 new words and meanings, including long ball, peloton, rabbit-eared bandicoot (who would seek that under r rather than b?), dance card, megapixel, qi, ki. So what is missing from the previous edition, MW10? An informal survey of a half dozen pages shows that practically nothing of value is gone (lonelily, pein, Daoist are deleted). Changes include a few new senses, illustrative quotes, revised definitions, and antedatings. The entry for -er now shows beautifuller with double l, in concord with the entry for -ful. There are about 70 more pages; MW10 had only about 5 more than MW9.
The total number of entries should be greeted with skepticism. There are about a thousand undefined entries in a list of "non-" words, more than a thousand in the un- list, and several thousand more in sixteen additional lists. If it occurs to you to seek coscenarist in the co- list, these lists might be of use. There are also a great many highly technical terms, such as ethylenediaminetetraacetate(s); writings that might contain these are apt to contain quite a few terms not found in this or any similar dictionary. Nonetheless, MW11 looks pretty good after a comparison of a few random pages of this dictionary with the corresponding parts of four similarly-priced dictionaries. At least two competitors have such entries as blank endorsement, blankety-blank, terra alba, or blague, but most or all omit such MW11 entries as: term of art, blanket chest, or the adjective terminate. Recently I found the word Atropos in a 1950 New-Zealand/British novel; it's not in MW11 (except in atropine's etymology), but was found in the competitors; on the other hand, only MW11 offers an explanation of what people who quirk this or that in a (usually) British novel are doing.
Definitions are sometimes a little unclear. The 85-word definition for gyroscope is apt to set your head spinning, and you may need to reread it to determine a gyroscope's purpose (I'm not sure it says). There's a sensible usage note for "hopefully", but MW11's appeal to "disjuncts" is less likely to persuade than the competitors' references to "sentence adverbs" or something similar. Many more illustrative examples would help.
One appendix contains foreign words and phrases; it's unclear why "a la mode" or Weltschmerz are in the main listing with "a la page" or Weltbild in the appendix. Other appendices list biographic and geographic entries, so, confronted with an unfamiliar proper noun, you may be unsure where to look. Gretna Green, is that biographical or geographical? (Neither, but MW11 has it nonetheless.) These appendices suit the publisher, since during MW11's life there will be new censuses that affect the geographic entries and deaths, elections, awards, etc., that affect the biographic entries, and Merriam can reset the relatively few pages of the appendices more easily than many pages of the main listing. Nonetheless, it is inconvenient for the user.
The final page contains the addresses for the Language Research Service. The introduction to MW10 informed us that there is no evidence for the form "merer", so years ago I sent the LRS their first citation; it happens that OED provided another, and an Internet search for "even merer" provides four more, but MW11's introduction still claims that there is no evidence for it. LRS is better at providing information; it gave me a Robert Frost citation to accompany my grandaunt's expression "the cat wanted the guest to make of her".
A nice feature is the date of earliest known appearance for each word. MW11 extends this to words like "jehu" that come from a proper name (less clear is why Jehu is in the main listing rather than the biographical appendix), though possibly the date applies to Jehu rather than jehu. Similarly, the date for clueless applies to its literal use, not to the modern idiomatic use whose date might interest you. Definitions are given in date order, so you can usually see how meanings develop over time. Most unfamiliar words have only a single definition, or the unfamiliar meaning you seek may be the oldest, so this is a win-win feature for the user.
The dictionary comes with a wonderful CD (optional at higher price), with which many objections disappear. It is much harder to find coscenarist, bo, ked, or Gretna Green with the print edition than with the CD, which incidentally expands abbreviations. You can locate all entries having a usage note containing the word Scottish. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be an easy way to search for all occurrences of Scottish in definitions, etymologies, and usage notes simultaneously, though there is a cumbersome way to do this with an advanced search. It seems pronunciations aren't searchable beyond rhymes and homophones, so for example you cannot find all words with the rare sound that ends "smooth", or all pronunciations marked with the obelus (division sign) that indicates controversy. (Merriam is invited to add the obelus to the first pronunciation of bruschetta, which deviates from the Italian.) With the CD you can also find the other 27-letter single-word entry, the longest word(s) with no repeated letter, the anagrams of abcdeflos or Minnesota, or all words whose earliest known appearance falls in a particular year (the most recent appears to be 2000, for tanga, the Tajiki "cent"); if solving crosswords, you can find words of the form ?p??m?.
Certainly I would not recommend buying a college dictionary without a CD version. Beyond that it is hard to choose, if you can afford just one. My inclination is that if you are involved in scientific or technical pursuits, this is probably the right one. Otherwise, you may be better off with one of the competitors. I don't recommend owning precisely two dictionaries however; you will need a third as a tiebreak.
5.0 out of 5 stars Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Edition,
B. Viberg "Alex Rodriguez" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition (Hardcover)
At first glance the eleventh edition does not differ much from the tenth (CH, Oct'93): definitions and derivations are nearly identical to those in the tenth. However, this is no mindless reissue, and where new information has surfaced, it is included. The 225,000 headwords include 10,000 new words and meanings, and the volume includes 40,000 usage examples. The considerable encyclopedic elements include 12,000 geographical and 6,000 biographical names, as well as brief sections of foreign words and phrases, signs and symbols, and a handbook of style. Abbreviations and symbols for chemical elements, a separate section in the previous edition, are alphabetized with the main entries. This is a serious dictionary, not unabridged but very serviceable for both student and scholar. Unfortunately the format is crowded and the font uncomfortably small. The price is favorable, however, especially since the volume includes a CD-ROM of the contents and also offers a one-year free subscription to the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Web site.
5.0 out of 5 stars Nice updating for the standard shorter American dictionary,
Robert Moore (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition (Hardcover)
For several decades now, THE MERRIAM-WEBSTER'S COLLEGIATE DICTIONARY has served as the standard American English dictionary. I have done a good deal of copyediting over the years, and every publisher I have worked with has specified this dictionary (along with the Webster's Unabridged) as the standard governoring the way that American English words are spells and defined. Although one can feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of dictionaries in the reference section of any good bookstore, this volume is as close to authoritative as we have in the United States. One might have a preference for another, but this is the only one that enjoys widespread authoritative acceptance.
The dust jacket explains the ways that the new 11th edition has been expanded, but personally, while I am quite certain that it has been expanded, I have not noticed a great deal of difference from the 10th edition. It may be definitive and improved, but most of the improvements will be difficult for anyone to detect. The new CD-ROM included with it, however, is a vast improvement on the previous software that was developed based on the 10th edition. When the 10th edition first came out, CD software was not widely available. A CD version of the dictionary did eventually come out, but it was somewhat rudimentary. The new CD-ROM, however, is a huge improvement. For instance, when looking up any word, a column will display a number of words that approximate the word that your are attempting to look up. If you can merely approximate the spelling, you can frequently find the correct word. Furthermore, by double clicking on any word in the online dictionary, you will pull up the listing for that word. The CD-ROM also has a link to the Internet.
Let's face it. Buying dictionaries for most people is about as exciting as having one's oil changed. But like oil changes, dictionaries are essential. For the foreseeable future, this one is going to remain the definitive American English dictionary.
5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough, well-written, with a good CD version,
Mike Christie (Cold Spring Harbor, NY, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition (Hardcover)
This is a very high quality collegiate dictionary. I am a member of a word puzzle organization ... and this is our standard reference, along with the unabridged version, "Webster's Third New International Dictionary". Many very obscure words show up in puzzles, but it is relatively rare I find I have to go to the unabridged dictionary to look them up.
In addition to being thorough (with excellent sections such as biography, geographical names, and foreign words and phrases (such as "en plein jour" or "inshallah") it includes compressed but informative etymological data. For example, the entry on "spacious" has this - ME, fr. AF spacioux, fr. L spatiosus, fr. spatium: space, room (14c)"; in a little over a single line you get a long lineage; though I should mention that this has been slightly corrected since the tenth edition of this dictionary. You may have to learn some of the abbreviations (Middle English, Anglo-French, 14th century) but I found them generally intuitive and didn't need to look them up much at all.
In addition, there are excellent usage paragraphs scattered throughout. These are of two types. One type compares the usage of different words with very similar meanings. For example, the entry on "satiate" provides a usage paragraph that compares "satiate", "sate", "surfeit", "cloy", "pall", "glut" and "gorge", identifying the precise differences of usage between them. The paragraph is cross-referenced at each of the other six words, so you don't have to just stumble across satiate to find it.
The other kind of usage paragraph discusses correctness. A good example is "hopefully", which in its sense "I hope that" is controversial. The dictionary asserts the validity of this controversial use, which is sure to annoy some purists, but it does acknowledge the debate and cite grammatical arguments for its position.
There are quite a few new words (my favourite is "dead-cat bounce") and edits to all sections. The only major change, though, is that the abbreviations section has been eliminated; abbreviations are now included in the main body of the dictionary.
The dictionary is available online at m-w.com, and I strongly recommend you take a look at it. There is a CD-ROM for sale too, which is worth getting as it adds some fancy search features, though if you're like me you'll want the paper version to keep by the bed. Note that if you have the unabridged MW CD too (the third edition of their New International Dictionary) then the same interface allows you to choose which dictionary to search -- a very nice feature. Purchase of the dictionary also gives you a complimentary year's subscription to the m-w website, which is worth having -- though be warned that it will automatically renew in a year for $ unless you choose to auto-cancel.<I> --This text refers to an edition which conatins a CD-ROM.

On 5.9.09, I was riding a 500 mile ride that day, and when reaching Corvallis, got a non-repairable flat tire on my Goldwing. I got the bike trailered to Freds, and they took the bike in right away and had it done within 2 hours of the time I arrived. That included working it in with their existing workload. They were all very nice to deal with, and they got me on my way, and my day was still a success. Well done Fred's.

Mike Fratello is comfortable to adopt a 'wait and see' policy when it comes to the EuroBasket 2015 draw results and Ukraine's role in European basketball's show-piece event.
In 1987 in Athens, the then 36-year-old Toon Van Helfteren pulled on the Dutch jersey for one final bow and stepped out at the last of the three EuroBasket tournaments in his international career.
The first EuroBasket 2015 tickets are now on sale, beginning with Group A (Montpellier, France), Group D (Riga, Latvia) and the Final Phase (Lille Metropole, France).
Part of the reason why Croatia chose Slovenia as its partner Federation in hosting one Group Phase group of EuroBasket 2015 in Zagreb, was obviously the fact that they are neighbours.
The Polish Basketball Federation (PZKosz) decided to hand the reins of their senior national team to coach Mike Taylor last January, in the conviction he was the right man to lead a long-term project.

Credit Card Delinquencies Down Again In July, Showing Strength In Subprime Borrowing
Americans keep getting better at paying their credit card bills on time, according to the results of a new Experian study. Researchers reported that the dollar amount of bank credit card accounts over sixty days delinquent fell 21 percent in July 2012 from the same period a year earlier. Auto loan and mortgage delinquencies also dropped significantly over the past year, researchers said.
Equifax Chief Economist Amy Crews Cutts told reporters that consumers have been making monthly payments on time, while qualifying for home refinancing deals in larger numbers during the survey period. Equifax's figures also suggest that more Americans have been paying more than the required minimum monthly payments on their credit cards, resting more of their available credit.
Experian's numbers mirror similar reports from credit reporting agency TransUnion and credit card issuer Capital One. TransUnion's Ezra Becker called the current credit card delinquency rate the lowest in 18 years, despite measuring a modest increase in the average credit card debt per borrower between 2011 and 2012 (today's estimate: $4,971).
Capital One grows subprime market without raising delinquency rate
Meanwhile, Capital One's stock continues to climb as company executives told the Securities and Exchange Commission about reduced charge-offs and delinquencies among its customers. Just 3.09 percent of Capital One cardholders fell more than 30 days behind on their payments in July, down from June's 3.16 percent figure. Domestic charge-offs fell to just 2.62 percent, while Capital One's international charge-offs fell below 5 percent.At a time when other lenders have been reluctant to issue credit cards for fair credit, Capital One shored up its position in the marketplace. Its acquisition of online savings bank ING DIRECT gives the Virginia company enough capital to purchase the Orchard Bank and Household Bank credit card businesses from rival HSBC. TransUnion's Becker remarked that the non-prime market had increased while delinquencies fell, since "consumers value their credit cards more than ever."

Among the millions of Americans who are out of work are a significant number of returning servicemen and women. Many employers are distracted by the host of employment issues that can arise in employing these individuals and, to some extent, their families. Among the applicable laws are the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA) and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
While an understanding of the rights afforded to service members by these statutes is essential, employing these individuals provides much more than a sense of patriotism for employers. Specific tax incentives exist (and more have been proposed) to get these individuals back to work. Many possess unique skills and abilities that would be an asset to any workforce. This article provides simple guidance about the laws that employers need to be aware of that impact the hiring of veterans and provide incentives for doing so.

Honduras has the highest per capita murder rate in the world, marked by a sharp increase in the number of drug-related deaths. More killings take place in the small Central American country than anywhere in the world.
"The military coup has significantly undermined the democratic institutions. A lot of the violence and disorder in Honduras now is the direct result of the Zelaya crisis. There is a dramatic increase in violence after the coup, especially of impunity."
- Rodolfo Pastor, a former diplomat
The government blames the drug trade and the growing presence of Mexican cartels. Honduras is a gateway between the biggest cocaine producers and Mexico.
Now, the Honduran army is being sent onto the streets. The Honduran Congress has just empowered the military to carry out most police work for at least 18 months.
The decision to deploy the army in Honduras has been compared with the beginning of the so-called drug war in Mexico. Authorities have rejected claims Honduras is copying the Mexican model. But human rights groups have expressed concern.
"Sending in the military which has been deeply involved in drug-trafficking is only adding fuel to the fire, without deep changes in the justice administration, without functional prosecution and courts that are able to condemn, and without a political will to prosecute high-level government officials."
- Annie Bird, the co-director of Rights Action
In the country's 2009 coup, it was the military that helped oust Manuel Zelaya, the democratically-elected president.
Amnesty International concluded that soldiers who were doing police work at the time were involved in killings, and had employed excessive use of force.So, is the military the answer to Honduras' high murder rate? And is this response just another step towards the militarisation of society across Central America?Inside Story Americas, with presenter Shihab Rattansi, discusses with guests: Rodolfo Pastor, a former Honduran diplomat in charge of political affairs at the embassy in Washington; Jose Cardenas, a former official in the Bush administration with senior positions at the US State Department and National Security Agency; and Annie Bird, the co-director of the Washington DC-based humanitarian group, Rights Action.

A shoujo manga based on the age-old tale of reincarnated lovers... with a twist.Keidai Saeki, average Japanese high school student, remembers living an entirely different life as Sirix, a gladiator in ancient Pompeii; this means he has a hard time existing in the present, especially when no-one else seems to have memories of their own. Keidai exists in two worlds, one of which is long dead: His little sister in his past life is married to his former rival and they're now his parents, his male best friend is a cute girl with a crush on him, and his beloved wife Serena has been reborn as the short-tempered boy next door who's crushing on said best friend! And of course, Keidai is literally incapable of seeing them as anything but their past-life selves.Life for Keidai is essentially a twenty-four-hour Mind Screw.NG Life is a nine-volume romantic dramedy by Mizuho Kusanagi, the mangaka responsible for Mugen Spiral, Akatsuki no Yona, and Game X Rush. Licensed for North America and published in English by TOKYOPOP, all nine volumes have been released as of July 8 2011.

In many situations enlightenment has happened, sometimes very ordinary situations. It is told of Nanak that he was serving in an ordinary store, just selling things to people, the whole day weighing, measuring things and selling them to people. One day - he must have been growing inwardly, he was not aware of it - he was weighing something and giving it to a man. He counted: one, two, three, four, five.and then he came to thirteen. Thirteen in Hindi is tera. Tera means thou, thine. The word for thirteen in Hindi is tera. Tera has two meanings: one - thirteen; another - thine.
Suddenly when he said "Tera," he forgot the shop, he forgot the weighing, he forgot the counting, he forgot that tera means thirteen; suddenly he became aware that tera means thine. Then he went on weighing, but never the fourteen came again. He would weigh something that he was selling and would say, "Tera, tera, tera."
Evening came. The owner of the shop was informed that Nanak had gone mad; he was not proceeding further, he had become obsessed with tera. The owner came and he looked. He must have been a man who knew scriptures, who knew something about mysticism. He bowed down to Nanak, because his whole face was transformed, he was no more the same man. And after that moment everything became God's; Nanak was not now his own, he was God's. The whole existence was God's.
He left the shop, became a monk, a wandering monk with a follower, Mardana, who would play on an instrument and Nanak would sing the glory of the lord. And then Nanak moved all over the country and even outside the country. He went even to Mecca, everywhere - but the song remained the same: "Thine, tera - everything is yours, nothing is mine."
It happened just in an ordinary shop. It can happen anywhere, no bodhi tree is needed. It was accidental that Buddha was sitting under the tree and Nanak was sitting in that shop, it was accidental. It can happen anywhere because every spot on the earth is his, and every spot on the earth is sacred. Wherever you are, if you have done the right effort then things will grow, and one day - the happening. And that happening is going to be grace, because you cannot say, "I have done it." You were not doing anything at all. That's why so much insistence that the ultimate happens through grace, it is a gift of God. It is nothing which you have produced.
But remember, you have still been doing something which is negative: you were not creating hindrances. If you create hindrances even God's grace cannot be available to you. There is a reason for it. As I told you, love cannot be aggressive, and grace is the suprememost love - the love that existence has for you. It cannot be aggressive, it cannot even knock at your door. If the doors remain closed the grace will simply wait there for millions of your lives. If the doors remain closed the grace will not knock, because knocking is aggression. Unless you open the doors on your own the grace will not enter. It is not aggressive, it has no sex center in it. It can wait infinitely.
