Alyssa specializes in Assistive Technology in higher education and Assistive Technology advocacy for students transitioning into college. Along with Lisa David (Assistant Director), she developed KSC's 'AT Web Resource', a website specifically designed to give high school/college students a place to start with free/low cost AT. This website has become an effective resource for institutions allowing students transitioning into college to hit the ground running with AT.
Her interest in AT sparked from her love for technology combined with her personal experiences with the ODS at KSC. Having a learning disability herself and not discovering AT until her senior year, she wanted to help expose students to AT early on and played a crucial role in the implementation of AT when she came on board as the AT Specialist. Alyssa presents on assistive technology locally (NH Department of Education, New England Educational Opportunity Association, Monadnock Center for Successful Transitions) and nationally (ATiA 2014 Orlando Conference, CSUN 29th Annual International Technology and Persons with Disabilities Conference).
Her other responsibilities at Keene State include serving as an Adjunct Professor IQL Statistical Reasoning and ISCS Programming Foundations and as the Co-Advisor of the Higher Education Club (HEC).
Alyssa earned her B.S. in Computer Science and a BA in Mathematics from Keene State College. She also holds a Graduate Certificate in Assistive Technology from University of New Hampshire.

Once on the wall the climbing is very good, though a little dusty - and sketchy on this hot evening. A brilliant balancy move to get upto the peg (back in place) followed by an odd bridgy-type move with a dynamic stretch to reach the top. Looks like something has been cemented just above the peg, but not sure what or why as it doesn't appear to make any difference to the climb. Ollie belayed with indifference.KRB - Lead β - 30/Jun/11 with Oliver Bridges

Above: Donnie Yen stars in "The Monkey King".
The Monkey King <西遊記之大鬧天宮> cast, Donnie Yen (甄子丹), Chow Yun Fat (周潤發), Aaron Kwok (郭富城), Joe Chen (陳喬恩) and Peter Ho (何潤東) promoted the film at the 16th Shanghai International Film Festival this week. The first trailer of the film was also revealed.
Director Cheang Pou Soi's (郑保瑞) new 3D film is the latest adaptation of Journey to the West <西遊記>, one of the four great classical novels of Chinese literature. In November last year, it released a teaser trailer which revealed nothing but only the big stars involved in the film. Footage from the actual film was revealed in a trailer at the Shanghai Film Festival.
Starring Donnie Yen as the Monkey King, the movie features heavy CGI effects to create the fantasy backdrop. Donnie's martial arts skills made it possible to recognize him despite his thick makeup. The magical skills of the Monkey King's 72 transformations were made possible with the help of the CGI. It was understood that the film was wholly filmed using a screen backdrop and then edited on the computer. The entire process took more than six months to complete and the film used a total of 2,600 special effect shots.
Cast Promotes "The Monkey King"
In the film, the Monkey King (Donnie Yen) rebels against the Jade Emperor (Chow Yun Fat). However, in the trailer released, there was no footage of the Jade Emperor, or the Bull Demon King, played by Aaron Kwok. Despite this, the trio attracted wide media coverage and squeals when they rode on their Harley Davidson motorcycles.
Chow Yun Fat jokingly complained that filming the movie zapped his energy level, and he could only film for two hours each day. Not to lose out, Donnie and Aaron also complained incessantly about sitting down for five to six hours for the makeup artists to apply their makeup. Donnie and Aaron teased that their action scenes are more than Fat Gor's.
After numerous delays, The Monkey King will be released in China during the 2014 Lunar New Year holiday.

CGI looks awful but the story does seem entertaining. Hope to see more of the action though for the next trailers.
That is one scary pic…
What do you expect a cross between a man and a monkey to look like?
Benny and Dicky were pretty good looking as Monkey King ^_^
I meant the expression. Out of all pics to use for the article…
I dont think girls would be too interested in this film. Man/monkey looks a bit horrifying
boring looking….
would watch it. out of curiosity more than anythng else
The Donnie Yen Monkey King looks cool and looks better then old tv show but love to see the some real fights scenes.
That picture at the top looks like a monkey just underwent major facelift.
I am sorry to say it is awful.
I mean didn't Donnie get the memo that says you don't really have to take on every role there is in HK.
Nothing wrong with taking on cast-against-type roles. If Jet Li can do it then so can Donnie.
Because Jet Li can be playful, Donnie is dead serious.
"I love Hong Kong 2012″ and "Mismatched Couples"
Doh, not "I love HK".
"All's Well Ends Well" 2011 and 2012.
nobody is better than dicky cheung as monkey king. his body language is unique.
Don't forget DRUNKEN TAI CHI, TIGER CAGE 2 and WING CHUN.
That guy is creepy and wax looking.
dicky cheung = best monkey king
probably not the best choice if there's gonna be a lot of action scenes involved
no offense, without Dicky Cheung as Monkey King, it doesn't feel right. >.<
Dicky Cheung still can't be replaced for monkey king.
The ugliest Monkey King is from Stephen Chow's latest movie Journey to the West.
What are you people talking about? It's a monkey not Henry Caville! Why are you even discussing about a cute looking monkey??? And if you're a girl and you can't go see this monkey because of a scary looking monkey, then you need professional help…
HOpefully they'll release this in USA too…would go see it!!!!!
A Monkey King movie? Donnie Yen? I won't be missing this one.
how many more monkey king series/movies do we need? it been overplayed to the point that the only reason we come to see is? heck i don't even know what is there to look in monkey king anymore.
Monkey King vs. Ip Man….
foreign viewers can now check out the movie adaptation rather than watching the whole series (:
From the trailer, the CGI looks bad, just like that Stephen Chow's journey to the west. How it can become a 1 billion Renminbi movie is beyond me.
Why can't they perfect the special effects? It makes Chinese films look 'cheap' despite the high budget.
If you can't do it properly, contract it to hollywood studios. please.
The end result is the most important, not feeding some mediocre local visual effects shop.
Think of Chinese pride, and Xi's Chinese dream. That should be the benchmark, international standard, Avatar standard.
What a letdown!
sigh i want to see you try and make a movie …..
Sigh, if you ever criticise or comment on any government policy or socail programmes, I want to see you try and be prime minister or president.
What a stupid comment you gave!
The Chinese legend Monkey king vs Marvel Comics all-American hero Superman, that would make a good movie, hehehe
Superman isn't from marvel comics

Variations in Record Groups by Locality Lifeís events are basically the same regardless of the locality involved. For example, people everywhere are born and die. Many men serve in the military, and many individuals eventually marry. However, the records kept of those events can vary widely from country to country or even from region to region within a country. Just as a builder may use different building materials according to climate and customs of the area, family historians must adjust the use of their building materials, the basic record groups, according to the localities of residence of the families they are researching. For example, county histories, so prevalent in the Midwest, are much less prevalent in the South. So, when a family historian is reconstructing a family from Indiana, they use county histories to help them build the outer walls of this structure. But when the family was from Alabama, other building materials may have to be substituted because of the shortage of the building material known as "county histories." Variations in Record Groups by Time Period Contractors today have a much larger range of building materials to select from than ever before due to many new man-made products. Reconstructing a family of the twentieth century also allows the family historian the luxury of a larger variety of available building materials. As the research extends to earlier generations, the variety of family history building materials becomes more limited. |

Critical Git and Mercurial Vulnerability on OS X and Windows
A critical security vulnerability affecting Git and Mercurial has been announced yesterday, making it possible for an attacker to execute arbitrary commands in the client machine. The vulnerability only affects clients running on OS X (HFS+) and Windows (NTFS, FAT). The Git core team has published new releases for all current versions of Git.

JetBrains has made available Upsource 1.0, a source code collaboration tool for software development teams.
Facebook makes Mercurial faster than Git
Facebook has posted on how they've sped up Mercurial to be five times faster than Git in certain operations. Read on to find out what they have changed, and why it makes such a difference for their setup.

Stash: Git for the Enterprise
The makers of the popular ALM tools JIRA and Confluence and released version 2 of Stash. Stash adds the kind of features to Git that one would expect to find in a centralized version control system such as branch-level permissions and deep integration with JIRA.
Agile Humour: A Wrap Up of April Fools Day 2012
The Agile community has a great tradition of making fun of itself and April Fools Day 2012 was no exception. Here is a wrap up of some of the best gags from this year that you may have missed.
Git surpasses CVS, SVN at Eclipse.org
The number of projects using Git has passed the number of repositories using SVN at Eclipse, making Git the single most popular version control system for Eclipse projects. InfoQ takes a look at the numbers, and the increasing number of DVCS repositories used by foundations and hosting providers.
GitHub Passes 2m Repositories
GitHub recently announced they had passed two million git repositories hosted, with 70% being created in the last year alone and an expected 1m users later this year. What else is new at GitHub?
EGit Eclipse Git plug-in released
The first public version of the org.eclipse EGit plug-in version 0.7.1 has been released at EclipseCon. EGit is based on the pure Java implementation JGit, which means that it has no external dependencies or native code requirements; something which has historically hindered the adoption of Eclipse's Subversion support.
ThoughtWorks' Developers Favor Distributed Version Control Systems
Martin Fowler has conducted a survey on ThoughtWorks' software development mailing list to determine how some of the version control systems (VCS) are perceived by developers. He also wrote a review of most prominent VCSes comparing centralized and distributed systems.
Article: Distributed Version Control Systems - a guide
Since Linus Torvalds presentation at Google about git in May 2007, the adoption and interest for Distributed Version Control Systems has been constantly rising. In this article, Sebastien Auvray introduces the concept of Distributed Version Control, see when to use it, why it may be better than what you're currently using, and have a look at three actors in the area: git, Mercurial and Bazaar.

The Iraqi government launched a campaign Tuesday (January 3rd) to convince skilled workers and investors who emigrated from Iraq to return and take part in the country's reconstruction and development.
Deputy Prime Minister Hussain al-Shahrastani told Al-Shorfa that the government instructed the ministries of planning, higher education and scientific research, and displacement and migration to take part in the campaign.
"Iraq has thousands of well-educated professionals who have scientific expertise in various fields, as well as hundreds of owners of famous companies that operate overseas who emigrated from Iraq following the wave of terrorism," al-Shahrastai said.
Employees of participating ministries would meet with Iraqi emigrants and explain how much Iraq needs their expertise, said al-Shahrastai, adding that the campaign would focus on professors, doctors and researchers by offering them jobs, salaries, comfortable housing and annual raises commensurate with their standing.
"Today, now that the problems causing them to stay abroad are over, we are trying to benefit from them inside the country to stimulate development in Iraq," he said.

at The Raleigh Hotel
1775 Collins Ave., Miami Beach
Scorching hot sun, hour-long delays, and long lines won't keep us away from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim. We found ourselves worn out -- but far from beaten. Not even a little rain can keep us from reporting on scantily clad bathing beauties.
We started the day promptly at 6 p.m. yesterday, and after hopping from show to show (and sinking in sand so quickly we had to grab onto volunteers to stay upright), we're happy to report that MBFWS is well underway -- albeit running a little behind schedule.
Diamond shaped neon prints were accented with '80s-style neon visors, tribal prints, and ink-splattered fabrics as club music blared through the speakers. South American influences were apparent, as chevron prints and crochet detailing were juxtaposed by sequined collars and Army badges. A few of the pieces danced on the line between chic and street walker (like the liquid leggings with cut-out braided detailing along the sides), but don't you expect a little sex-appeal with your swimwear?
Standout Looks: They managed to tackle cut-outs, bead work, hints at snakeskin and touches of neon -- without looking tacky. Another first for us on the runway: The one-piece tuxedo swimsuit. You know, for all of those formal beach parties.
Trend Alert: Sleeked back greased beach waves, smoky eyes, animals as actual prints (not to be confused with animal print).
The Vibe: Cowboys vs. Indians
Cute Factor: The horse print fabrics. Also, the designers clearly wore pieces from their own collection for their strut down the runway -- and they looked adorable in them.

I find that defining the word "cool" is difficult due to its being so subjective. I will, however, be so bold as to endeavor to qualify a piece of real estate as cool no matter what the semantical issues may be. After much deliberation, wherein I weighed all sorts of attributes such as size, shape, interior, cost, and any seemingly superfluous pleasantries, I've decided to stick to what I know best, my neighborhood.
I walk past 23 Wadsworth Street
Here is a list of what is available within three blocks of 23 Wadsworth; Spirits of Allentown, KC's Fitness, Paw Prints, Nietzsche's, The Bend, Staples, Sample, Allen St. Hardware, Holly Farms, Antique Man, Lagniappes, Mulligan's Brick Bar, College Street Gallery, The Old Pink,Sp@ce 224, The Theatre of Youth, Sweet Tooth, Rust Belt Books, La Tee Da, Jim's SteakOut, Rick's Sportswear, and Gelsey's Fashions. This is all available before you even cross Elmwood! You add a fourth or fifth block, and the list runs on and on.
23 Wadsworth is a newly refurbished two-family home that includes a one-bedroom apartment and a studio apartment. It is suggested that the space would be perfect for accommodating an art studio or boutique. The building has off-street parking which comes as huge bonus considering the popularity of the locale. You can take a look at the specifics and a few interior shots at realtor.com.
I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone seeking the quiet suburban life, but if you are a true city dweller and can't live without your connection to all the great

Paleontologist to Discuss Discovery of 'Missing Link' Sauropod Dinosaur
Researchers found the first complete skeleton of an early sauropod, the prototype for what would become some of the largest animals to walk the earth.
Written by John Davis
This "missing link" sauropod, Yizhousaurus sunae, is considered the prototype for what would become some of the largest animals ever to walk the world.
Its life ended in a flash – probably a flash flood, actually. And once its body came to rest covered in silt and sediment in the swollen floodplain, the "missing link" sauropod lay forgotten in the darkness of hardened rock for 200 million years.
On Sunday (Oct. 31), a Texas Tech University researcher will discuss the discovery in China of the first complete skeleton of an early sauropod, Yizhousaurus sunae, considered the prototype for what would become some of the largest animals ever to walk the earth.
Sankar Chatterjee, Horn Professor of Geosciences and curator of paleontology at the Museum of Texas Tech University, will deliver the findings during the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America in Denver. He began working on the animal in 2005 with Chinese colleagues.
This particular early sauropod's life ended in tragedy, Chatterjee said. However, his four-footed, long-necked ancestors, such as Diplodocus and Camarasaurus, would become one of the most recognizable and successful orders of dinosaurs to rule the planet until the mass extinction 65 million years ago.
"Sauropods as a group are very numerous for 160 million years during the Mesozoic," Chatterjee said. "There's about 120 species known, but most of them were later sauropods. Questions remain about how they began. Yizhousaurus will fill in a critical gap in the early evolution of sauropods."
Chinese scientists discovered two prosauropods – the precursor animals that would give rise to their larger cousins – 50 years prior near the same location in Lufeng, in Yunnan Province of South China. But Yizhousaurus sunae shows all the hallmarks of the later sauropods, such as beginning of a long neck, hardy skeleton, four-legged posture and a small, broad skull.
Researchers also discovered the intact, fossilized skull of Yizhousaurus, a rare and crucial piece to understand this animal's place in the evolution of sauropods. Only 10 percent of skulls survive, he said.
"Yizhousaurus's skull is broad, high and domed, less than a foot long with a short snout, eye sockets on the sides for scanning enemies," Chatterjee said. "It has an unusually wide and U-shaped jaw, in top view, like that seen in later Camarasaurus."
Chaterjee stands with pieces of a jaw from a prosauropod, an even earlier ancestor to the sauropods.
These prey animals measured only 30 feet long and probably lived in herds to protect themselves from predatory dinosaurs related to Dilophosaurus, a miniature version of allosaurs that lived in the area at that time.
Their lives revolved around eating the evergreen trees that populated their flood plains, he said. Numerous serrated and spoon-shaped teeth of the upper and lower jaws would slide past each other like gardening shears for cutting plant material during feeding.
"The sturdy teeth and raised neck let the animal very easily nip small branches from treetops and then chew the plant material. It could eat anything from leaves to woodier parts of the plants. The teeth could really slice. Later sauropods lost these all-purpose teeth and subsisted on soft plant material. Once the plant food was ingested, a gastric mill in the stomach probably provided further mechanical breakdown of the plant."
Most paleontologists are of the opinion that some prosauropods gave rise to sauropods, despite the fact that the transition has been very vague, Chatterjee said.
"The skull was a dead ringer for early sauropod. So beautiful. So complete," he said. "Anyone looking at this dinosaur can see it's basic body plan from which later sauropods could be derived. This is why this Yizhousaurus may bridge this gap. Not only from Lufeng, but also from Liaoning Province of China, hundreds of exquisite dinosaur fossils have been discovered in recent times. I think this century will belong to China as far as paleontology is concerned."

I'm thinking about what I should be getting ready for in the way of my guns, since I recently found out I'm going to be a father. Kind of cool, so far, but I'm trying to make sure everything is ready come January.
Obviously, sleeping with my .40 in the night stand drawer or the shotgun velcro'd under the bed isn't going to be an option much longer. However, I'd like something a bit closer than the gunsafe in my office across the house. I made sure to get a S+W so it won't fire without the magazine, but I know it would be amazingly stupid to depend on that ( illegal too, in Fla ).
What options do the rest of you use with children in the house ? Quick access safe under the bed ? Trigger guard locks ? Super secret James Bond retinal scanner activated hidden panel ?
What about when they are older ? When did you give them the keys/combo to the gun safe ? I'm not talking about gun training, but allowing them accees on thier own.

Desai/Chia Architecture practices the art of subtraction and insertion, light and delight.

Arjun Desai and Katherine Chia Are True Urban Interventionists

Inspired by artists such as Donald Judd and Robert Irwin, Arjun Desai and Katherine Chia's urban work uses light to shape space and define volume.

Various lighting options—uplighting, downlighting, recessed—are used throughout the Light Box loft to set moods and expand the space for large gatherings, or bring it close for smaller ones.

Floor plan for the Light Box loft.
Arjun Desai and Katherine Chia, AIA, are urban to the core. The married couple lives in Manhattan and works in a seventh floor studio on a narrow street near Madison Square Park. The room's white walls are punctuated by blocks of color, and a George Nelson cigar lamp hangs over a conference table holding exquisitely crafted models. Those models—mostly weekend getaways for their city clients—are of single-family-homes, but they're quietly cross-pollinated with urban ideas the pair has spent 15 years perfecting.
Since its launch in 1996, Desai/Chia Architecture's focus has been on finding creativity in the city's constrained spaces, but building in New York offers a framework for how to approach design just about anywhere. Limited to what an existing building offers, Desai and Chia are forced to be inventive about how they organize space and technical infrastructure. They're working back and forth between the big concept—creating dual-purpose spaces that flow but feel intimate, getting the most from the mechanical systems—and the fine grain. What materials lend texture and warmth to windowless rooms? How do you brighten up dim interiors, and what fixtures will produce the best-quality light to express the architecture, almost like a painting?
Video installation artist and lighting designer Christine Sciulli is a frequent collaborator and fan. "They're incredibly curious, always pushing a material to its limit," says the New York–based Sciulli. "A lot of what we do together is play with light, using different materials to mock things up. What happens when daylight turns to dusk and the artificial light takes over? When the lights are turned on in one place, how does it affect adjacent spaces?"
Consider the 4,000-square-foot industrial loft in Madison Square that Chia and Desai adapted for a family of four. Into the cavernous footprint they inserted two perpendicular wood-and-glass cores that light up the living zones. One defines the kitchen and storage area, another serves as a media wall and houses the baths. Both volumes are wrapped in vertical wood planks that stop shy of the high ceiling, implying a clerestory like that of a single-family home. Light also filters through the kitchen core's offset ash slats, and those outside the bath can be tilted manually to emit more or less light.
These subtly ingenious moves differentiate the lit spaces from those in shadow, and they were meticulously studied in full-size mock-ups. "For the wood core system, we wanted to see how much light would come through the slats, explore the operability of the planks and their overall proportion, and the texture and patterning of the wood," Chia says. "In the glass mock-ups we looked at different densities of acid etching and various angles so the light would refract and reflect off the surface." She's referring to the master bath's glass wall panels, which are angled to produce a precise level of translucency and a luminous green hue.
"We tend to look at architecture that is simpler and dematerialized, so that space and light can flow," Desai says. Growing up in Chandigarh, India, he was influenced by Le Corbusier's early Modernist buildings, the intense sunlight, and the use of jali as room dividers that sift air and light. "We don't stress form for form's sake," he says. "That hasn't been our philosophy."
New York's arts culture embraces their enthusiasm for multidisciplinary design, and their obsession with materials. The couple found jobs here after graduating from the MIT School of Architecture + Planning in 1991. Desai did historic preservation work for Swanke Hayden Connell. Chia, who has a fine arts undergraduate degree, joined Maya Lin's studio, where she learned to shape materials by hand.
The pair's tactile sensibility results in an approach that juxtaposes the ethereal with finishes that are built to last. There are elongated bedroom doors, and a hall wall, wrapped in dark-colored laminate, which reflects light and resists fingerprints. In one loft bath, back-painted glass counterpoints a wall of penny-round tiles. In another, thin, linear wall tiles respond to the original white terra-cotta patterns in relic structural columns. "The urban environment has a strong history," Chia says. "We feel like archaeologists, uncovering things and blending the new with the patina of the old."
Recess Lav, a resin sink with an integrated backsplash and medicine cabinet, embodies the blend of practicality and expressiveness at the heart of their endeavors. Produced and distributed by AF New York, the clean sheath slips seamlessly into a compact bath, projecting just 12 inches when tucked into a stud wall.
Desai and Chia have found that the quirky challenges of city dwellings—doubling up functions in the workhorse parts of the home, lighting the dark zones, and cleverly layering spaces to keep them visually connected—transcend location and project type. "We've learned to be efficient in floor plan layout, so in new construction we're not automatically jumping to bigger is better," Chia says.
"We've tried to be consistent in what we do, dealing with light and issues of openness and transparency," Desai agrees. "We've been very conscious about how our work holds together as a whole." It is a particularly relevant expression, given today's focus on setting limits, and on quality over carte blanche.

Making a unique intervention in an incipient but powerful resurgence of academic interest in character-based approaches to Shakespeare, this book brings scholars and theatre practitioners together to rethink why and how character continues to matter. Contributors seek in particular to expand our notions of what Shakespearean character is, and to extend the range of critical vocabularies in which character criticism can work. The return to character thus involves incorporating as well as contesting postmodern ideas that have radically revised our conceptions of subjectivity and selfhood. At the same time, by engaging theatre practitioners, this book promotes the kind of comprehensive dialogue that is necessary for the common endeavor of sustaining the vitality of Shakespeare's characters.
Contents: Introduction, Yu Jin Ko; Part 1 Shakespearean Persons: How dark was it in that room? Performing a scene Shakespeare never wrote, Michael Bristol; Shakespearean characters and early modern subjectivity: the case of King Lear, Bruce W. Young; What makes someone a character in Shakespeare, William Flesch; Wopsle's revenge, or, reading Hamlet as character in Great Expectations, James E. Berg. Part 2 Character in Action: Historicizing spontaneity: the illusion of the first time of 'the illusion of the first time', Cary M. Mazer; (Re:)historicizing spontaneity: original practices, Stanislavski, and characterization, Tiffany Stern; Retracing Antonio: in search of the merchant of Venice, Diego Arciniegas; Letting unpleasantness lie: counter-intuition and character in The Merchant of Venice, Brett Gamboa; Iago: in following him I follow but myself, Dan Donohue; 'I lay with Cassio lately': Iago's fantasy, the actor, and audience response to Othello in 3.3, Michael W. Shurgot. Part 3 Beyond Naturalism: Then and Now: Just do it: theory and practice in acting, Eunice Roberts; Playing sodomites: gender and protean character in As You Like It, Lina Perkins Wilder; 'Stops' in the name of love: playing typological Iago, Travis Curtright; Henry V's character conflict, James Wells; Bibliography; Index.
About the Editor: Yu Jin Ko, is Professor of English at Wellesley College, USA. Michael W. Shurgot is Professor of Humanities at South Puget Sound Community College, USA.
Reviews: 'One of the collection's strongest features is its organization […] which makes the collection feel like a unified whole, a rarity in books of essays. Particularly effective is the 'conversation' between Cary Mazer and Tiffany Stern in their respective pieces concerning historicizing spontaneity… Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, professionals.' Choice'The book offers a series of different perspectives on the complex relationships, between two of Shakespeare's most compelling characters.' The Shakespeare Blog'Investigating the relationship between actor and character, between actor and audience, and between characters in plays, these essays speak to one another in interesting ways and engage in an ongoing conversation about Shakespearean character that marries theory with theater practice. The collection will be of interest to Shakespeare critics, scholars of performance criticism, and theater professionals.' RQ Winter

The buyout is a huge boost to an enormously diverse genre of online publishing that has begun to change the equations of online news and information. Weblogs are frequently updated, with items appearing in reverse chronological order (the most recent postings appear first). Typically they include links to other pages on the Internet, and the topics range from technology to politics to just about anything you can name. Many weblogs invite feedback through discussion postings, and weblogs often point to other weblogs in an ecosystem of news, opinions and ideas.
maybe they are going the alexa way. and maybe the cache pages in future will also have "user comments"
good thinking 99!
So they are not someone thinking they are in a forum speaking to a mirror....which is what i always thought it was ;)
If a "geocities google" had x blogs about microsoft, average the general opinion and add to PR/IR score.
All those below the coefficient saying "microsoft go to hell" are ignored, while any blog serious enough to praise MS will also be discounted. You could be "top blogger" by being the average :)
//added wrote this offline, I guess im hedging with what egomaniac has said.
That might be a reason for allowing them to cache my pages again.
What is IR?
It's been banded round here a bit, and im sure its on a g/stanford PDF => basically all the factors "on the page"
Apart from entertainment value of blogs, i guess their is that value of turning blogs/opinions into votes.
Aside from that, though -> I'm a bit confused by this move as well...will be interesting to see what they do.
They are managing to keep the mainpage simple, but if you look at all the services they offer, they are indeed becoming a portal. The only thing they haven't offered is: email@example.com
This is a great acquisition by google. While I'd like to think it is mostly a philanthropic decision to help facilitate goodwill on the web we all know that while google has traditionally been a "non-evil" business, it is, in fact, still a business.
Several good speculations have been made about what google will do with Blogger. Site Comments? Decentralized News? Branding?
Anyway that they go this was a good decision.
99% of blogs are garbage, but they are also a way of finding out news JUST A LITTLE bit sooner than anyone else if you go "straight to the source". I.E. to a developer or CEO's blog. Nanopublishing provides a quick and easy way for intellectuals to share their thoughts. Very similar to this forum, but in a more one-sided fashion.
Blogs are a quick and efficient way of sharing information, just like so many other successful inventions of this century.
End ramble.
Nope. This notion that Willy Widget's opinion is interesting simply because Willy has an opinion is, IMHO, inane.
Trade in hard cold facts, with citations, and I'll pay attention. Otherwise, it's regurgitation. As far as inanity is concerned I think the line between Community and Blog is somewhat blurred. Uninformed opinion has a way of creeping in under the door. My good friend, wife, has a phrase for it - "brain fart".
Thus, the term "cat blogs." People have blogs about their cats. Really. And there's a lot of them, too.
ahem, i'm in the process of setting up a pet blog ... no laughs please :-)
That is because you've yet to read my new and hilarious Blog which starts next year. Look! See how an Englishman weened on tea and crumpets copes with living in NC, USA! Watch! As his waistline gets bigger! Laugh! As more people ask if you can get to England by train and what language do they speak over there?
Okay, perhaps it will be a little inane then....
> wonder what DayPop is thinking...
My thought, too. I've always felt that the blog indices like daypop were filling in a gap that crawlers were missing. I do think that daypop, blogdex, and even fark represent areas that google may need to engage/attack as they continue on their un-portal-like path to portalization.
<added> Also, remember the google api and how that was immediately drawn into the blog world? Hmmmm....
Re using the blogging software itself, I can see getting registered users to "vote 'n' quote" about results, though I imagine Google wouldn't want to relate these easily-manipulable datapoints to a page's ranking. ...OTOH, maybe if the system required the use of the Google toolbar, they could relate browsing activity to the voted-upon pages and subsequently drop any blog records which seemed too intimately connected with the voted-upon pages.
I imagine the chief yahoos who founded yahoo are cringing every time they visit their creation and are greeted with a popup ad. The IPO made yahoo eventually be taken over by soulless imaginationless people. But to console the founders they can look at the billion in their bank account.
Larry and Sergey may or may not realize just how much freedom they will lose, but nothing will bring them money faster than an IPO, so I'm sure they're willing to sacrifice their creation for that loss of self determination. But it's just a matter of time until things will change a lot @ google and I agree with those who view Google Blogger eventually looking like Yahoo Geocities does now.
Yep. As do forums.
Some journalists are credible. Some journalists are lazy hacks constrained by the demands of advertisers.
Rather like forums ;)
What is "fact"? What is "opinion"? (rhetorical - these arguments are hardly new to the media world)
Agreed, it's an addition, not a replacement. I like certain bloggers the same way I like certain journalists and will seek them out because they interest me and offer informed opinion.
As for the rest, who cares? :)
That's my story thanks for listening...
mind you i really can't see how they'd make a site commenting system without opening the door to huge abuse by webmasters given the lengths people will go to to spam the index already.
how would they moderate comments for every site in the index?!
What I meant with that is, for the immediate future, I just think Google wants to make sure those most active and high qualty blogs keep providing daily links for their index/algo/freshness at no charge and on a stable basis.
If someone else took over, that blog/link base stability would be out of Google's control.
After that you focus on the market of free page hosting like Tripod, Wanadoo, etc. How many personal pages, and trafic did you think that can make?
Personally I like having a free site, then i can focus on content and having valueable content to make money with.
I have had coldfusion sites before, and it is nice to have all that functionality. But it costs so much.
Here's my blog for what it's worth.
Exploring The Truthhttp://mindstream.blogspot.com
But blogger hosted blogs represents a small proportion of blogs on the net. Speaking personally most of the high quality blogs i follow use Mt, Greymatter, Radio and are usually hosted on their own server.
Excerpt from shellen.com [shellen.com]
As for those befuddled by the buy, consider the fact that Pyra runs pyRads� which just happens to be a perfect match for AdWords.
When you consider how important AdWords is to Google's profitability, the Pyra purchase makes perfect sense.
Some of the means and types of communication that are found in a blog to a limited degree may also be found within a community site, but beyond that similarity I can't see any resemblance whatsoever between a blog and an online community. None.

2011 SUV Buying Guide
The 2011 SUV Buying Guide includes 20 true sport-utility vehicles -- rugged rides for those who appreciate a vehicle with substantial towing and off-road ability. Sales are not nearly as strong as they once were, but automakers know there's enough life left in this interesting segment to continue developing new models such as the recently redesigned Toyota 4Runner.
Celebrated throughout the 1990s for their rough-and-tumble image, traditional truck-based SUVs represented the vehicles of choice for millions of U.S. families. But demand for fuel-thirsty, full-size models already was feeling the negative effects of rising gasoline prices and heightened environmentalism when the economic collapse in the fall of 2008 delivered the blow that would flatten sales. The popularity of midsize SUVs, meanwhile, suffered as mainstream buyers turned toward car-based crossover models for their more-predictable road manners, lower ride height, and better fuel economy.
The sales downturn was a death knell for such stalwart SUVs as the Chevrolet TrailBlazer. For others, like the next-generation Ford Explorer, it meant abandoning body-on-frame construction and joining the crossover brigade. But plenty of desirable traditional SUVs remain available, and some are even enjoying a sales resurgence in 2010. These include the Chevrolet Suburban and Nissan Armada among full-size models, and the 4Runner and Ford Explorer among midsize SUVs.
To qualify as a traditional SUV, a vehicle must use truck-like body-on-frame construction in which the body is attached to a separate chassis. Crossovers by contrast use carlike unibody construction in which frame and body essentially form a single unit. The truck-like design of traditional SUVs gives them the robust construction well-suited for heavy towing and hauling and the demands of tortuous off-roading. These SUVs tend to weigh more than crossovers, however, which detracts from fuel economy, ride comfort, and handling characteristics.
A few SUVs blur this distinction. The Jeep Grand Cherokee and Land Rover LR4, for example, integrate a unibody structure and a reinforced subframe. In any event, the majority of entries in our 2011 SUV Buying Guide are four-door models with traditional "two box" exterior styling that emphasizes a utilitarian appearance. All of them have roots in rear-wheel drive engineering (2WD), with four-wheel-drive (4WD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) standard or optional for added traction. With 4WD or AWD, separate low-range gearing for off-road adventures or plowing out of deep mud or snow is the rule.
These traditional SUVs come in three basic sizes.
Smaller and more-utilitarian models such as the Jeep Wrangler, Nissan Xterra, and Toyota FJ Cruiser are popular with younger (and often male) buyers who want to drive something visually and viscerally engaging.
Midsize SUVs essentially have the interior space of a station wagon that would fall into the compact- or midsize-car class. They all have four doors and seat five passengers. A few, such as the Explorer and 4Runner, are available with a small third-row seat suitable for young children. Midsize SUVs are popular with medium-income singles and young families, though a few, such as the $50,000 Lexus GX, fall into the premium-SUV category. Most midsize SUVs come with six-cylinder engines and several offer V-8s. These models are suited for towing most common-sized trailers and have a maximum towing capacity in the 3,500-7,000-pound range, depending on the engine and model.
Full-size SUVs are typically based on their manufacturer's big pickup-truck frame and some offer two body lengths of different cargo- and passenger volumes. For example, the Chevrolet Suburban is essentially the Chevrolet Tahoe with an additional 14 inches of wheelbase (distance between front and rear axles) and an extra 20 inches of body length. All full-size SUVs have three rows of seats for up to eight-passenger capacity. They're generally fitted with hefty V-8 engines and can tow up to 10,000 pounds. Five- and six-speed automatic transmissions are the norm among mid- and full-size models, with manual gearboxes limited to only a handful of the lowest-priced models.
For any three-row SUV, that rearmost seat is a challenge to get to or get out of; minivans are the ticket for real third-row comfort and access. On the upside, the ability to fold down the second- and third-row seats invites the transport of building materials or other large objects. Most third-row seats can be removable altogether to maximize cargo room.
While their ride and handling qualities have been tamed over time, truck-based SUVs generally can't match crossovers for bump absorption or carlike road manners. Full-size models can be a handful to maneuver in tighter urban areas and they can be difficult to climb into and out of – especially for smaller drivers and passengers -- because of their tall ground clearance.
Indeed, generous ground clearance is part of the traditional-SUV party, even though a small percentage of owners ever actually venture off road. Nonetheless, most models offer a choice of 4WD systems to enhance wet-road traction or rock-climbing prowess. Some are available with off-road packages that include special tires, heavier-duty suspensions, and other add-ons for greater durability and performance away from the pavement; unfortunately, this usually further diminishes on-road ride quality in the bargain. The Land Rover Range Rover and Toyota Land Cruiser are bona fide off-road all-stars with an array of advanced go-anywhere traction technology. In the U.S., these expensive vehicles seldom are subjected to the rigors and risks of backwoods work, but the capability is built into their lofty pricing.
Early SUVs were little more than pickup trucks with enclosed cargo beds and a second row of seats. Despite those utilitarian roots, all but the budget-minded SUVs of today feature handsome and accommodating interiors. Most can be tricked out like luxury cars, with leather heated seats and such features as Bluetooth hands-free cell-phone interfaces, GPS navigation systems, DVD entertainment systems, and rear backup cameras for easier and safer parking. Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, and Jeep models can be fitted with devices that turn them into automotive Wi-Fi hot spots for connecting laptop computers and other devices to the Internet. Luxury models include all the bells and whistles plus sumptuous wood-trimmed interiors and generous use of chrome trim inside and out.
Safety is a traditional selling point among vehicles in this segment. Most have front-side and side-curtain airbags to protect passengers in collisions and come with antiskid stability control to reduce the chances of sideways slides than can lead to rollovers – a leading cause of fatalities in crashes involving these high-center-of-gravity vehicles.
Most midsize- and full-size SUVs rate highly in government crash tests for occupant protection in front- and side-impact collisions. These tests are intended as a guide to measure crash protection involving only vehicles of similar size, so even a high-rated compact car isn't likely to offer maximum protection in a collision with a larger, heavier vehicle. Certainly, the laws of physics – and their strong separate frames -- favor traditional SUVs in crashes with smaller, lighter vehciels.
Fuel economy, however, is not an SUV's strong suit. A full-size model like the Chevrolet Tahoe is rated at a sobering 14/20 mpg (city/highway). Even midsizers like the Toyota FJ Cruiser fare little better at around 17/22 mpg. Hybrid gas/electric versions of the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon are offered, but buyers have to pay top-dollar to save what amounts to a few miles per gallon.
The long-term future of traditional SUVs is unclear, given stricter government fuel-economy rules that begin to kick in starting next year. Luxury truck-based SUVs such as the Cadillac Escalade, Infiniti QX, and Lexus GX models may be the most vulnerable. Models such as the Chevrolet Suburban that suit a wider variety of need and buyers are likely to continue. The good news is that buyers with a bona fide need for a traditional SUV, or those who simply still prefer that big-SUV swagger, will find generous manufacturers' cash rebates and deep dealer discounts to be the norm for some time to come.

As I understand it, as soon as season 2 comes, all elo will be reset. Everyone starts at 1200 again. That doesn't seem fair at all to me and I'm sure a lot of people are going to agree with me on this one. Personally, I worked my ass off for the rating that I have and I'd like to keep it. I understand the fact that Riot wants to give everyone a second chance but why are we punished for it, we who have over 1200? Are you telling me that we are equal to those who just got to lvl 30 and started playing 2 weeks ago? Or the ones that trolled their way to 500 rating just because they can? Or those that have no idea what a ward is and how it's used? I refuse to believe that. I got to where I am on my own merit, I did not get carried by anyone. Well that's technically wrong, I main support so you could say they carried me. And by maining support, I find myself in a bit of a bad situation. What if I get paired with complete morons (the kind that most people whine on these forums about) ? It won't matter that I try to babysit their ass and ward the whole **** map, they are going to feed and lose matches. And if this happens, is this where I truly belong? Is the ONLY solution out of elo hell carrying? And yes, I am scared that I'll drop into elo hell not because I suck at the game (having 1800+ rating proves this to an extent) but because this game is solely based on picks and early game. If possible, can a red explain the whole situation and Riot's reasoning for saying "you are the same as everyone even if you proved you are better once". Discuss/hate/downvote (as I'm sure most will) away.
err its a season for a reason.
Its only a soft reset, i dont remember the formula for it. But its not that bad. Plus you will get to that rating again, if youre worth of it.
Keyword: Seasons. Is Manchester United QQing about a new season after they won one? You get the point. laurinwOw~ , same elo bracket as you. PS: didnt see you do well one game playing support; you actually fed some times. :3
sure lets just stay in season one for the next few years. Riot have adopted a season system for a reason, so that official competitive events can be based around it. Think about this, take football for example, what if there was only one season. It would be pretty hard to say who won the season considering it never ends. How do we know who are the best players of a season if it doesnt end. The same issue happened in WoW when the first arena season ended and people gave out about it. I know it sucks that your rating gets reset but if the ladder remains unchanged it becomes stagnant. It should be noted that if your say a 1600 rated player it wont take long to move back to that point or even higher because everyone has been brought back to the same starting point.
Don't compare it to football please. I'm talking about solo queue here. Give me 4 people that I know get the job done and I'm not complaining anymore. This is solo queue, with random team mates, not football where you have the luxury of having the same team. The football comparison works for 5v5 rated only. Also, what do official competitive events have to do with solo queue? Absolutely nothing is based on solo queue. @wizbang88 And if you get paired from the start with people that had 300 rating because, hey, you are apparently the same, do you think you could win? They are there for a reason and they drag everyone down with them the moment they step out of their league. I'm ok with raising everyone below 1200 back to 1200 but not with downgrading those who dragged themselves out. Also, WoW had rewards for those who were the best in every bracket for all those arena seasons. I doubt Riot are gonna do something similar so I see no reason to reset. Ladders never stagnate as long as people keep getting better at the game.
im fine with the ladder resetting. god **** hard to catch up to the 2.4k ppl at the top simply because of the massive amounts of games you need to get that far. i dont feel like im much worse then those people so id like to get a fair chance of competing with them for the top -> reset elo for everyone please besides: if you deserve your elo you'll get back there. Worries are only reasonable for people who dont deserve their elo
Some people who are high elo got lucky with their teams, do they deserve to have a higher elo than those who kept getting paired with trolls who are now at a low elo? I hope it does get reset.

Ten Signs You're a Miami Art Snob
In Miami, there are two kinds of art lovers. There are the casual fans of gallery exhibits, people more interested in the after-party and the nearby food trucks than they are in the work itself. And then there are the Art Snobs.Jipsy
These are the lovers of Art with a capital 'A.' They know all the Wynwood galleries by heart (though of course they're so over that scene these days). They've been following the careers of their favorite local artists ever since they graduated together from New World. And they're always down for a discussion about that fascinating article in the latest Miami Rail.
In a city like Miami, "Art Snob" isn't a derogatory term. It's a necessary way of life for people who are passionate about art living in a town where the culture -- in museums, in galleries, and in the street -- grows and evolves so quickly. A little jaded? A little too serious? Who cares? If it's all in service of Miami culture, go on with your artsy self.
Here are ten signs you might fall within Miami's arts elite.
10. You compulsively correct anybody who mispronounces "Art Basel."Ian Witlen
Basel Week is the best week of the year in Miami -- and it's your personal mission to teach locals how to say it. For the record: It's baa-sel, as in "baa baa black sheep." Not Ba-sel, with the first syllable sounding like you're about to say "back" or "bathtub." And never, ever, ever Bay-sel, like basil. Ever.
9. You wouldn't be caught dead looking at Britto.
Not in a gallery, not on a mural, not at the Shops at Midtown, not at the Britto store at the airport. That cheesy pop art is for colorblind tourists, not sophisticated art lovers like yourself. (Even if you do secretly think Britto's response to his gallery getting tagged last year was kind of brilliant.)

Bufano becomes the highest ranking official in the Charlotte, N.C.-based Belk organization outside Belk family members. Tim Belk is chief executive officer, Johnny Belk is president and chief operating officer and H.W. McKay Belk is president and chief merchandising officer. The company was founded in 1888 by William Henry Belk and is in the third generation of Belk family leadership.
Bufano will report to McKay Belk. Her position was vacant for about a year and a half since Mary Delk, who was a consultant before joining Belk, decided to return to that field. Since then, McKay Belk has been filling in.
"This will take a little bit of the pressure off me and allow me to focus on more strategic issues now," said McKay Belk in an interview Friday when Bufano's appointment was revealed. "We have had a lot of activity over the past 24 months," including the purchases of Proffitt's, McRae's, Parisian and the Migerobe fine jewelry company. "We are spending a lot of time working on all those opportunities, which has been very exciting, but they require a lot of extra work.
"I think Kathy is going to fit right in with what we are doing. There is obviously lots of change going on in the vendor community, but Kathy is known in the market."
Bufano most recently was ceo of Vanity Shops, a 200-store junior specialty chain based in Fargo, N.D. She began her retail career in 1977 and has held key executive-level and general merchandising posts with Sears Roebuck, Dress Barn, Macy's East and Lord & Taylor. While most of her experience has been in women's, Belk did point out that at Sears she was responsible for softlines, including men's. She's known as a results-driven, bread-and-butter merchant with strong experience in private label and growing volume.
Bufano officially starts at Belk on Jan. 17. She will have all merchandise and marketing areas, including private brands and sales promotion, reporting to her.
At Sears, Bufano was behind several initiatives including introducing the Covington private sportswear brand; pumping up Canyon River Blues, another proprietary brand; launching big-and-tall shops with national brands and Covington; discontinuing scores of labels in apparel and soft home that meant little to consumers, and making other selling floor changes.
