|Trending factor
Altmetrics are new metrics proposed as an alternative to the widely used journal impact factor and personal citation indices like the h-index. The term altmetrics was proposed in 2010, as a generalization of article level metrics, and has its roots in the twitter #altmetrics hashtag. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Altmetrics)
|open education
Open education is a collective term to describe institutional practices and programmatic initiatives that broaden access to the learning and training traditionally offered through formal education systems. The qualifier 'open' of open education refers to the elimination of barriers that can preclude both opportunities and recognition for participation in institution-based learning. One aspect of openness in or 'opening up' education is the development and adoption of open educational resources. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Open Education)
A mobile device (also known as a handheld device, handheld computer or simply handheld) is a pocket-sized computing device, typically having a display screen with touch input and/or a miniature keyboard. In the case of the personal digital assistant (PDA) the input and output are often combined into a touch-screen interface. Smartphones and PDAs are popular amongst those who require the assistance and convenience of certain aspects of a conventional computer, in environments where carrying one would not be practical. Enterprise digital assistants can further extend the available functionality for the business user by offering integrated data capture devices like barcode, RFID and smart card readers. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Mobile devices)
|open data
Open data is a philosophy and practice requiring that certain data be freely available to everyone, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control. It has a similar ethos to a number of other "Open" movements and communities such as open source and open access. However these are not logically linked and many combinations of practice are found. The practice and ideology itself is well established (for example in the Mertonian tradition of science) but the term "open data" itself is recent. Much of the emphasis in this entry is on data from scientific research and from the data-driven web. In some cases open data may be considered as more properly Open Metadata and there is not yet a consistent formalisation. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Open data)
|collection development
Library collection development is the process of meeting the information needs of the people (a service population) in a timely and economical manner using information resources locally held, as well as from other organizations. According to the The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), acquisition and collection development focuses on methodological and topical themes pertaining to acquisition of print and other analogue library materials (by purchase, exchange, gift, legal deposit), and the licensing and purchase of electronic information resources. Collections are developed by librarians and library staff by buying or otherwise acquiring materials over a period, based on assessment of the information needs of the library's users. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Collection development)
|linked data
Linked Data describes a method of publishing structured data, so that it can be interlinked and become more useful. It builds upon standard Web technologies, such as HTTP and URIs - but rather than using them to serve web pages for human readers, it extends them to share information in a way that can be read automatically by computers. This enables data from different sources to be connected and queried. Tim Berners-Lee, director of the World Wide Web Consortium, coined the term in a design note discussing issues around the Semantic Web project. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Linked Data)
|open access
Open access (OA) refers to unrestricted online access to articles published in scholarly journals, and increasingly also book chapters or monographs. Open Access comes in two forms, Gratis versus Libre: Gratis OA is no-cost online access, while Libre OA offers some additional usage rights. Open content is similar to OA, but usually includes the right to modify the work, whereas in scholarly publishing it is usual to keep an article's content intact and to associate it with a fixed author. Creative Commons licenses can be used to specify usage rights. The Open Access idea can be extended to the learning objects and resources provided in e-learning. OA can be provided in two ways: 1) "Green OA" is provided by authors publishing in any journal and then self-archiving their postprints in their institutional repository or on some other OA website. Green OA journal publishers endorse immediate OA self-archiving by their authors. 2) "Gold OA" is provided by authors publishing in an open access journal that provides immediate OA to all of its articles on the publisher's website. (Hybrid open access journals provide Gold OA only for those individual articles for which their authors (or their author's institution or funder) pay an OA publishing fee.) (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Open access publishing)
A repository in publishing, and especially in academic publishing, is a real or virtual facility for the deposit of academic publications, such as academic journal articles. Deposit of material in such a site may be mandatory for a certain group, such as a particular university's doctoral graduates in a thesis repository, or published papers from those holding grants from a particular government agency in a subject repository, or, sometimes, in their own institutional repository. Or it may be voluntary, as usually the case for technical reports at a university. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Repository)
|cloud computing
Cloud computing refers to the provision of computational resources on demand via a computer network. In the traditional model of computing, both data and software are fully contained on the user's computer; in cloud computing, the user's computer may contain almost no software or data (perhaps a minimal operating system and web browser only), serving as little more than a display terminal for processes occurring on a network of computers far away. A common shorthand for a provider's cloud computing service (or even an aggregation of all existing cloud services) is "The Cloud". (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Cloud computing)
|qr code
A QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response code) is a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code) designed to be read by smartphones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded may be text, a URL, or other data. Created by Toyota subsidiary Denso Wave in 1994, the QR code is one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes. The QR code was designed to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed. The technology has seen frequent use in Japan and South Korea; the United Kingdom is the seventh-largest national consumer of QR codes. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: QR code)
Research can be defined as the search for knowledge, or as any systematic investigation, with an open mind, to establish novel facts, usually using a scientific method. The primary purpose for basic research (as opposed to applied research) is discovering, interpreting, and the development of methods and systems for the advancement of human knowledge on a wide variety of scientific matters of our world and the universe. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Research)
The term data refers to qualitative or quantitative attributes of a variable or set of variables. Data (plural of "datum") are typically the results of measurements and can be the basis of graphs, images, or observations of a set of variables. Data are often viewed as the lowest level of abstraction from which information and then knowledge are derived. Raw data, i.e. unprocessed data, refers to a collection of numbers, characters, images or other outputs from devices that collect information to convert physical quantities into symbols. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Data)
A smartphone is a mobile phone that offers more advanced computing ability and connectivity than a contemporary feature phone. Smartphones and feature phones may be thought of as handheld computers integrated with a mobile telephone, but while most feature phones are able to run applications based on platforms such as Java ME, a smartphone allows the user to run and preemptively multitask applications that are native to the underlying hardware. Smartphones run complete operating system software providing a platform for application developers. Thus, they combine the functions of a camera phone and a personal digital assistant (PDA). (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Smartphone)
Neoliberalism is a political philosophy whose advocates support economic liberalizations, free trade and open markets, privatization, deregulation, and enhancing the role of the private sector in modern society. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Neoliberalism)
Digitising or digitisation is the representation of an object, image, sound, document or a signal (usually an analog signal) by a discrete set of its points or samples. The result is called digital representation or, more specifically, a digital image, for the object, and digital form, for the signal. Strictly speaking, digitizing means simply capturing an analog signal in digital form. For a document the term means to trace the document image or capture the "corners" where the lines end or change direction. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Digitisation)
EPrints is a free and open source software package for building open access repositories that are compliant with the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting. It shares many of the features commonly seen in Document Management systems, but is primarily used for institutional repositories and scientific journals. EPrints has been developed at the University of Southampton School of Electronics and Computer Science and released under a GPL license. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Eprints)
A massive open online course (MOOC) is an online course aimed at large-scale interactive participation and open access via the web. In addition to traditional course materials such as videos, readings, and problem sets, MOOCs provide interactive user forums that help build a community for the students, professors, and teaching assistants (TAs). MOOCs are a recent development in distance education. Features associated with early MOOCs, such as open licensing of content, open structure and learning goals, and connectivism may not be present in all MOOC projects, in particular with the 'openness' of many MOOCs being called into question. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: MOOC)
|data set
A data set (or dataset) is a collection of data, usually presented in tabular form. Each column represents a particular variable. Each row corresponds to a given member of the data set in question. Its values for each of the variables, such as height and weight of an object or values of random numbers. Each value is known as a datum. The data set may comprise data for one or more members, corresponding to the number of rows. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Data set)
Android is a software stack for mobile devices that includes an operating system, middleware and key applications. Google Inc. purchased the initial developer of the software, Android Inc., in 2005. Android's mobile operating system is based on a modified version of the Linux kernel. Google and other members of the Open Handset Alliance collaborated on Android's development and release. The Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is tasked with the maintenance and further development of Android. The Android operating system is the world's best-selling Smartphone platform.

OLYMPIC VALLEY, Calif. — A 29-year-old man who died Thursday after being seriously injured in a backcountry avalanche near Lake Tahoe has been identified as Benjamin Brackett of Olympic Valley.
According to a detailed Sierra Avalanche Center report about the incident, Brackett and two others skinned up to Stanford Rocks, located near Ward Canyon off the West Shore of Lake Tahoe. Brackett then started to ski down a slope, triggering the avalanche.
Brackett came to rest about 500 vertical feet below Stanford Rock. The other two skiers were not caught in the slide.
A detailed report of the incident can be found here: www.sierraavalanchecenter.org/incidents.
The skiers accessed the area from Highway 89, Placer County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Dena Erwin said Thursday. After the two skiers reached Brackett, one skied out of the area to request aid. The second skier stayed with Brackett until rescuers arrived.
Brackett was transported by ground ambulance at about 5:45 p.m. Thursday to Tahoe Forest Hospital in Truckee in critical condition; he died Thursday evening of unspecified trauma.
Rescue crews began the search at around 3 p.m., reaching Brackett by about 4:20 p.m. The search was a combined effort of Tahoe Nordic Search and Rescue, Placer County Sheriff's Office and the North Tahoe Fire Protection District.
The incident occurred at the tail end of a strong winter storm system that dumped more than four feet of snow at higher elevations around Lake Tahoe.
Wind gusts were very high during the storm; Sierra Avalanche Center had listed avalanche danger as "High" Thursday morning, before being downgraded in the afternoon to "Considerable."

1987 GTI 16v, no build thread.
Tell me about it, but it works out well. The emissions testing in my area is cake to pass if you're OBD1 and older, and there are a LOT of OBD1 'project' cars around . OBD2 is where it gets difficult to modify anything, since the stock ECU has to remain in place. Chipping is an option, but I can't justify the cost of an aftermarket chip vs. the cost of MS3 (at least in OBD2 anyway, I chip my own OBD1 ).
BTW: If anyone wants more 'freedom' with their OBD1 cars, it's super easy to write your own chips for the ABA. If you have an ebay chip burner ($16) and some chips ($5), you can custom tune the stock ecu like megasquirt. Custom dyno tuning anyone? .
1987 GTI 16v, no build thread.
Canada didn't adopt obd2 until 1996...MY1997.
I'm going to get my Daily 8v dyno'd sometime this week, hopefully, if I can ever go back home to CT! I've been on business in CA all week! I'm hoping for at least 130whp.

Well, a plan fell into my lap. I found a nice b3 wagon in south MA, sitting on the side of someone's house. It had been hit really hard in the rear. I asked if it was for sale, the guy said I can have it for 500 bucks. It only had 90k miles on the original 9a 2.0 16v engine! I had it towed home within a few hours.
My buddy's little brother got his first car last month - a MK3 Golf Wolfsburg which has a MINT interior and barely any rust - which he beat on til the timing belt snapped (The belt was ORIGINAL and the car had ~180k on it). The head is shot, and so is the tranny. I bought it for 300 dollars yesterday. I will be swapping in the passat's 2.0 16v 9a and the CR tranny in the Golf, and possibly daily driving it. I just ordered nearly 5 figures of parts for the Golf. If anyone wants to know the parts I ordered, let me know, and I'll PM you the list.
nice find on all the cheap cars, 9a mk3 should be a blast
would love to hear how your trip to the dyno went on that 8v set up
I would think 130whp would be a pretty tame estimate since I'm at 120whp with a 268 and stock mani's. similar deck job,p&p and 3 angle V job
I'm also curious about the non aluminum cam gear? whats wrong with the alum. one?
good luck on the dyno
J&J autosport
135WHP on the dyno. The fastback put down much bigger numbers, though, at 450WHP.
1987 GTI 16v, no build thread.
Post the sheet. I want to compare it to my 135 run.
decked/Milled 040"
90mm HG (+5 compression)
Gotcha, so about 11:1 five or take
Actually drove mine last night. I forgot how much fun it is
Hoping to hit the dyno soon, got to take care of the cel first ( maf issues). 130-135whp and I'll be happy with it.
I have been meaning to make a few little updates, but I have been busy working on a good friends' 95 Golf Sport 2.0 8v. He's new to the VW scene, he has been a "Honda-boy" since High school and that he hated VW's just because they are VW's. ..
Unfortunately, it was subjected to a ton of abuse by the PO!
It had a 3aRacing fart-can on the end of a 2" crush bent exhaust, a dented cone filter stuck on the end of the MAF, a "short shifter" (which was a cut shift selector rod) and PURPLE tints.
I spent the day removing all these horrible modifications with him, and we put on a TT 2.5" catback with a flowmaster muffler, a 42DD testpipe, a Eurosport cool-flow intake, my old Autotech 270* cam, and soldered in my old GIAC cam chip. We put on a SS 60/40 cupkit, as well as removing the tint. We put on a CL lip, too, and some GTI smoked tails. (All of these parts were sitting around my shop.. I have a shed full of VW parts ) Unfortunately, it's riding on OEM flyers for a little bit. He says it's much better than any Honda he has driven except for his old GS-R.
You ever get that feeling that you took someone over from the land of ignorance and idiocy and put them in a "real car" and educate them? It's such a great feeling.
hey guys I have a question about my car I have a 1996 golf and it had a intake, exhaust, and a chip. I added a 260 TT cam. Should I bother getting a new chip? like a bfi one? help is appreciated!
Surf Green love <3
Cars: MK3 Surf Green Golf Sport VR6, MK3 Teal GTI 20v
a matchin chip for you cam is always the best route if you have the money do it mr. hurt.. what else u got layinaround lol
Wondered this, I've got a Neuspeed supercharger on the car with a 2.25 Magnaflow cat-back.
Was planning on getting a high flow cat and headers. But do you think the headers will do much with this setup or just stick with the factory manifold and downpipe?
For the money you would spend on those, you can get an ecu/MAF tune upgrade from C2 and get more power. The tune used by Neuspeed runs on the lean side. The c2 tune uses a better tune with upgraded maf and injectors to get more power out of your charger. Couple that with a bigger cam, and you are lookin at 10-15 more whp easy.
What is the vacuum thing below my head? That when I remove the plug it almost kills the motor. And also on hard acceleration it kinda dies a little then goes
Because I have my mk4 intake top/bottom and fuel rails. And if I have to have it I can't donmy conversion
Well, guys, I did it again.. I bought a bone stock 2.0 Golf Sport. I couldn't pass it up! It was only 300 bucks. Has a blown engine but good sport plaid seats, interior. Some dings on the exterior, not too much rust. I may end up putting a low-mile 8v in it to replace the blown ABA in it. I may end up slapping on my old BBM lysolm kit.. Dang it. Money pit, money pit, money pit! Did I mention it's Surf Green?
Here's a few pictures from the seller:
A few dings here and there..

I already have a motor/trans lined up to go into the GTI.. It's just a plain OBD1 engine and 020 trans. I, well, spent some money on TT's website today.. I gave all my Golf parts to my friend for his..
Had to buy new stuff.

Case Study | August 6, 2013
CIT Builds A Strong Managed Services Foundation With Automation PlatformSource: Solarwinds N-able
Computer Integration Technologies (CIT) is a comprehensive IT services firm with an impressive portfolio of offerings – from application training, to hardware products and services, to software development and more. Nearly 10 years ago, it added managed services into the mix, recognizing the growing market opportunity for supporting its SMB (small to midsize business) customers around the clock under a monthly fee arrangement.
"Customers like knowing that someone's got their back and understands what's important to their business," says Rob Cramer, technical operations supervisor, who has headed up managed services for CIT for the past six years.
And while Cramer admits that staying on top of customer IT environ- ments is a 24/7 job for his team of seven, CIT has put the right tools in place to make it a successful, more simplified and profitable venture. In 2003, the company teamed up with N-able by SolarWinds®, the world's leading remote monitoring and management (RMM) provider, to gain a strong foundation in managed services just as it was entering the market. Kyle Etter, CIT's vice president and chief technical officer, made the decision to choose N-able and its flagship offering N-central®, the IT channel's #1 RMM and MSP service automation platform.
"We've seen a lot of advancements come out of N-able through the years," Cramer says. "They're outstanding to do business with and we've always liked the direction they've taken."

I went with white vs the orange that came on the bike that year just to make my KTM slightly different than the rest of the sea of orange. I like Polisport plastics and will continue to use.

Comments On Feb 18, 2015:There is a huge (nickel size) white sprue mark right in front of the number plate!!!! This is caused by an oversight in tooling, and is ground down flush but leaves a huge scar right in the top of the fender. DO NOT BUY FOR A CRF450!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comments On Jan 27, 2015:It fit but only after I drilled larger holes. The Acerbis fender has a brighter color and shine for the KDX200 and it fits without drilling holes.

Comments On Jan 21, 2015:I have this front fender on a KDX with KX front froks. I like the style and it works well. The fender does not bend very well when it's cold and will break. That's probably true for any front fender in freezing temps though.

Comments On Jan 06, 2015:Fender looks GREAT overall at first sight! However, before even mounting onto the bike, I noticed that there is a HUGE WHITE SPRUE MARK (3/4" diameter) from the casting which is visible right in front of the number plate. This is not acceptable, and is a huge oversight in tooling this fender for my bike (crf450)

Many have other jobs, and procedures exist to account for them. Takr issue with your rep if you didn't like their action, of course. Let's not lynch them, though.
This bill has one purpose and is high profile. This is ripe to use for concessions on other items.
My expert says they can bring it back after the deals are done. No limit. This just told them that not much needs to be done.
Don't buy the sensationalism here.
"Aime la vérité, mais pardonne à l'erreur." - François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire)
Why does the website linked above with how each rep voted say the result was PASSED?
With all due respect, while $3.65 mil doesn't sound like a lot $43 mil- $62 mil does. I would give them a tax break, but not that much of a tax break. Heck the state funded those "I'm In" ad's, and what do they get for it, to foot the bill to keep a team in town? I don't know, I think we should be able to keep the team without having to give this kind of tax break. Can anyone point to another state doing this?
Just my opinion.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
I'll look for examples. Stern has said in the past that government support is key (like these tax deals).
I found this article talking about the money that Florida gives their professional teams. Granted it is not in a positive light but look at what they give out and then remember that thanks to the Mercedes sponsorship of the Superdome, the state is not giving anymore money to the Saints so it is not missing out on anymore money. Look at it this way, the state owns the arena so giving a tax break to keep tenants there for the next 12 years is ok with me.
Its just a stupid decision by the politicians. They don't realize the state would make more money in the long run.

Man, I need to own a sports team. That's better money than selling alcohol during prohibition.
Time for New Orleans to secede from Louisiana!
This is just postering. It will happen. Most politicians have to much to lose by letting the Hornets leave town. NOLA seceding idea is also a lot of the reasoning from out of town legislatures opposing they break. They feel like This is just for NOLA and everybody else has to foot the bill. I'm not saying that it's right, but there always seams to be some underlying animosity between New Orleaneans and everybody else in the State.
Can the state go and give Shell, Chevron, and all those other companies a tax break to come back.
Yes, but only on CST.

Terrible after sales customer service would not use Phil&Teds website again. I was sent the wrong product and have so far not been able to get a response when attempting to have the correct product sent out. There is no UK contact number on their website and they have not responded to my emails.
Wouldn't know, never received them....

Phil & Ted's took so long to ship my product (10 days after the order was placed) that I had moved out of my home by the time the product arrived. According to FedEx, it was delivered, but the person I sent to retrieve them could not locate them. A claim I filed with FedEx has been pointless (no refund) and Phil & Teds customer service has been uncooperative in getting me another set....so, now I have a stroller without wheel guards. I love that my 2 year old thinks it is fun to stick his fingers in the tire while we roll down the street....I refuse to pay another $15 for a set of wheel guards when I should already have a pair. Plus, they won't ship to FPO/APO address (our new address), so thanks for supporting our troops P&T. Also, their remedy for this situation, was to offer me a discount on anything I purchased online in the future.....considering they won't ship it to me, there isn't much point in buying anything....I will never purchase another P&T product again. Customer service is awful.

Learn about the history of the North Prospect Church, as well as plans for its restoration and integration into the Lesley community.
The former North Prospect Church was purchased by Lesley University in 2006 when its congregation moved. Built in Harvard Square in 1845 and moved to its current location in 1867, the church was designed by local architect Isaac Melvin in the Greek Revival style. The building, now over 160 years old, is in a state of disrepair following decades of alterations and deferred maintenance. Lesley University plans to restore and relocate the church as the centerpiece of a new center for the arts.
2009, and with Lesley University's support, the Cambridge City Council
adopted a recommendation by the Cambridge Historical Commission to
designate the building an historic landmark. This designation
recognizes the former church's unique historic value as an example of
period architecture worthy of preservation and mandates that changes to
the structure be approved by the Cambridge Historical Commission.
building's historical significance was a significant factor in
selecting the Cambridge-based architectural firm of Bruner/Cott &
Associates which has vast experience in designing both art-related
projects as well as a significant body of work in respectfully restoring
historic structures and giving them new purpose. In creating a new
facility for the College of Art and Design, lead architect Simeon Bruner sought to increase the
visibility of the church as a landmark in Porter Square while
integrating it into a new complex for Lesley.
building, now over 160 years old, is in a state of disrepair following
decades of alterations and deferred maintenance. The present steeple,
added in 1964 after lightning destroyed its
predecessor, is incongruous in scale and design. The building's
clapboards and stained-glass windows are in need of repair and
restoration. Some structural damage, roof repairs, missing or damaged
architectural ornament and other restorations all present challenges to
future use – but also opportunities.
include moving the structure south on its parcel, restoring its
original relationship to the ground and creating an Arts Plaza on
Massachusetts Avenue, between the church and a new four story building
on the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Roseland Street. A two story
glass-enclosed connector building on the east side of the side will
sensitively link with the church at its north transept. When moved in
1867, the church was raised onto an artificial mound to accommodate a
new ground-level floor. This change necessitated a steep set of stairs
to access the front doors. Lowering the building to its 1845 height and
restoring its original steps will re-engage the front doors as a
welcoming entry for students and the community. The church building
itself will house an arts library, accessible to the public, and the
exterior will become an open plaza on Massachusetts Avenue.

You guys getting on Monty for not calling timeouts quick enough should be happy about that one.
Rivers is taking it to durant, ill say it again, this kid will be the next AI in 3 years
12 - 1 at the free throw line... Just guess who has 12 points... F'in refs... Austin stood still durant fades away and just yells like a ***** and gets a call...
yeah, i think you got the 22.8% from how many of his shots come from that area.
Refs hate Austin Rivers.
Ugh this has got to be OKC's worst game of the year - just unbelievable how they're letting us hang in this game. Washington and Cleveland are going to start picking up wins at an improved clip and the #1 (or worst case #2 or #3 pick) are there for the taking. Really can't afford any cheap wins.
Wait, you mean we can shoot FTs too?
Vasquez in the press situation is just pathetic. lol SOOOOO SLOW!
I hated the shot. Glad he made it. But I HATE that shot.
My mans Roberts the only one with balls
Very nice ending to that 1st half.
I'm rooting for losses for both Saints and Hornets at this point. Saints can win it all next year with a difference maker on defense and an improved OT, and Hornets can be top 5 team in West with healthy Gordon plus a top 3 pick and a smart FA signing.
I'm usually mad at Rivers but as the season progresses, I can see him settling down a LITTLE...
The team should just stay on the bench a watch the halftime show ...don't even go into the locker room.
Win against YHT will bring a huge smile to my face

A Few More Unsung Heroes
The winter session of the Knesset is over. As many regular readers of NIF News know, more than twenty bills that we characterize as anti-democratic are in the legislative process, and three have now passed.
What you may not know is that our action arm in Israel, SHATIL, has a small staff of dedicated advocates who work directly with the Knesset on these critically important issues. Outgunned and outspent, SHATIL's Center for Policy Change, along with our allies at the Association for Civil Rights in Israel and others, strive heroically to forestall measures that will erode human, civil and minority rights if passed into law. We don't win every battle and we might lose some more, but we think you need to know what's at stake and what the current state of play is on the Knesset battleground.
Read our lead story about the end of the Knesset session, and if you really want to qualify for policy wonkhood Israeli-style, read the longer legislative report as well. You may be shocked at measures that range from conditioning Israeli citizenship on loyalty oaths to witch-hunting progressive human rights organizations, but you should certainly be aware of them. And while you may be concerned about the direction in which Israel may be heading, you should also be inspired by the coalitions of diverse interests working to protect an Israel we believe in.
Forward this issue to your friends who care about Israel. Stay informed about the battle for Israel's democratic future. Watch your email for NIF Action Alerts that will ask you to add your voice to the struggle. And, as always, continue to help us support and amplify the voices of Israelis who believe in a just and egalitarian nation, that lives up to our ideals.

Back to the Future: The Many Faces of Salafi Islam
The Salafis are a very broad, amorphous grouping of Muslims who believe that the only way to salvation is to follow, strictly and fully, the way of life of the earliest Muslims (whom they revere as the "Salaf us Saleh", or "Righteous Predecessors", the 'Puritans' of the Muslim collective, if you like). Although they would like to present themselves to other Muslims as belonging to a timeless tradition, Salafism in fact can be traced to around the time of the collapse of the Crusader states, when a Damascene Islamist preacher, Ibn Taymia (1263-1328) began to preach a puritan, unornamented form of Islam which had little or no foreign innovations ("bid'a"). For most of history, the Salafis spurned modern political formations, putting them at odds with, amongst others, the Muslim Brotherhood. Although Ibn Taymia's teachings did not spread too far at the time, it did, centuries later, give birth to the rise of Wahhabism in what was to become Saudi Arabia.
Both Salafia and their subset, the Wahhabis, had little or no time for temporal politics for a very long time, before a young man in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia sought to remake his country in the Salafi-Wahhabi mould. Not all Salafis look the same, and the guys above are a fashionable rogues gallery of exceptional Salafis.
This is an appalling article written by some unknown ignoramous who knows nothing about the term "salafi" or "salafiyyah". NONE of these people listed/shown here have ANYTHING WHATSOEVER to do with Salafiyyah. As a matter of fact, to my knowledge, the scholars of Islaam (the noble Salafi scholars of Saudi Arabia, and others), have ALL spoken out against the likes of Abu Qatada, and his ilk (with the exception of Sudais).
This article is so baseless and worthless, it would be funny if it wasnt so serious and misleading.
I am muslima and am telling u frankly, salafis r terrorists!! Kill them aaallll !

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
The Nolitan Hotel
30 Kenmare Street, New York City, NY, USA
Neighborhood: Manhattan - Nolita
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
There's some disagreement among real-estate types as to precisely what neighborhood this is. But while the ink has yet to dry on that argument, Nolita now has its first boutique hotel. And a sharp one it is. There's more than a whiff of classic, elegant Manhattan modernism about the place, along with an appropriately deep vein of downtown funk, which makes sense, as the architects are the same partnership responsible for the Hotel on Rivington.
Very few New York hotel rooms can count sheer acreage among their strengths. The Nolitan's rooms make the most of their space with simple floor plans, including wide-open bathrooms. It's a crisp, clean look, with a focused palette and a bit of hardwood and raw concrete for some textural contrast, furnished with mid-century desk chairs and high-end contemporary pieces.
Cantine Parisienne is The Nolitan's social nexus, where the guests meet the locals and vice versa, over a slightly counter-intuitive French-American cuisine. Even for diehard Italophiles, however, there's little danger of going hungry, located as you are at what's more or less the confluence of SoHo, the East Village and the Lower East Side, not to mention Nolita itself, which, for the benefit of our out-of-town readers, happens to stand for "north of Little Italy." Getting around town is easy enough, especially given the Nolitan's fleet of loaner bikes (and loaner skateboards, surely if not a first then a rare amenity at least).

Raise the roof with cool ceiling decorations.
Parties are three dimensional, so don't forget to decorate a little overhead. With a variety of styles and colors, you'll find just what you're looking for from our awesome selection of ceiling decorations. Our 16" wide paper fluffy decorations make it seem like you've walked into a field of flowers growing overhead. These lovely fluffs come three to a pack and in a wide variety of colors including red, lime green, robin's egg blue, new purple, bright royal blue, yellow, white, pink, ocean blue, rainbow and multi-color. When our plastic swirls are hung, it's like having bouncy clouds above you, but you'll never have to worry about rain. These 22" long decorations come in sets of 12 and are available in 9 color options, so you can find one or more that is sure to match whatever party theme you choosen. Imagine having bright butterflies and flowers fluttering overhead. With 12' long foil butterfly and flower hanging ceiling decorations, it's easy to make this idea a reality. We also have an adorable 30" long cascade of butterflies dancing below a bright yellow sun. Or how about five lovely foil 40" long flower twirls in red, blue, green, yellow and pink, dancing from curly streamers attached to your ceiling? Add some extra ceiling decorations and raise the roof at your next party.

No we will have a rookie draft every year, when a commissioner comes along we will do a poll or let posters post there thought on what would make this a great league! Doing this I beleave everyone will have fun, but I know where going to have a rookie draft!
So as soon as a commissioner is drawn, we will post all the rules!
I'd like to join in as well, since I didn't get in rbows league

Swifts winging their way back
Herald File Photo 2012
Thousands of Vaux's Swifts fly around the Frank Wagner Elementary School campus in Monroe on Sept, 12, 2012.
Herald File Photo 2012
People from the Edmonds Senior Center and various local Audubon societies gather to watch thousands of Vaux's swifts fly into an old chimney to roost for the night at the Frank Wagner Elementary School campus in Monroe on Sept. 12, 2012. These migratory birds flock in large numbers and are known to seek out old chimneys as rest stops during their journey south to Mexico.
The birds come to Monroe in the spring and fall, giving local folks a close-up look at a massive migration of birds at one location.
For years, the Monroe Swift Watch and Monroe Swift Night Out committees have enlisted volunteers to monitor the numbers of Vaux's swifts that enter the chimney each night, and help at Monroe Swift Night Out on Sept. 14.
This year, volunteers are needed to count the swifts as they enter the chimney, to monitor the daytime comings and goings of the avian visitors, and to help answer questions at the Swift Night Out.
Volunteers are also sought to help with the Monroe Swifts website and, possibly, cameras and temperature monitors at the chimney.
Vaux's swifts are the smallest species of swifts in North America and are native to the Pacific Northwest. The birds prefer hollow trees, but are attracted to chimneys because the bricks allow the swifts a place to perch.
A planning meeting for the swifts' annual visit is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Goddard Room at Valley General Hospital, Monroe, 14701 179th Ave. S.E.

We All Make Our Own Sandwiches
By Olivia Rae
One of the first lessons on my spiritual path was that I am the creator of my own reality…my own life. Yes you read that right, we are the creators! Powerful stuff, huh?! But it is true – we do create our reality – the state of our health, happiness and each situation we find ourselves in, were created and manifested by us, by each thought, each word and each action we made, consciously or unconsciously.
"'I once knew a guy like you. I met him on a construction site in the Midwest. When the lunch whistle blew, all the workers would sit down together to eat. And every day, Sam would open his lunch pail and start to complain. 'Son of a gun!' he'd cry, 'not peanut butter and jelly sandwiches again. I hate peanut butter and jelly!' He whined about his peanut butter and jelly sandwiches day after day, until one of the guys on the work crew finally said 'Fer crissakes Sam, if you hate peanut butter and jelly so much, why don't you just tell yer ol'lady to make you something different?' 'What do you mean my ol'lady?' Sam replied. 'I'm not married. I make my own sandwiches.'" – story out of Way of the Peaceful Warrior, by Dan Millman
You see, we all make our own sandwiches. When we are running around, allowing 'stuff' to fill our lives, not paying attention to how we are thinking, speaking (internally and externally) and acting, we can find ourselves in situations and ask 'how did I get here??' Then usually, we seem to come up with some sort of answer – you know, blaming others for getting us here, it couldn't possibly be us who actually chose this! But in truth, it was us. It is us who have chosen it.
It seems easy to talk about this now, but at first this was one tough lesson. Playing the victim of life seemed so much easier to me, even though I hated my reality. It was easier to blame my ex-boyfriend to how shitty and empty I felt. It was easier to blame my parents for my body image problems, my eating habits, my wealth, my health – and everything under that umbrella that you can blame parents for, I did. It was easier to even blame my hatred towards my job on someone else (I don't even remember who I blamed this on – but of course it wasn't my fault!). And because I was dealt all these crappy cards, it was therefore their fault for my depression and numbness to life.
Once I understood that the quality of my life was my own responsibility, I started little by little to change my thoughts, words & actions, to ones that were aligned to my truth, my higher self – planting seeds that would enrich my life, giving it meaning and purpose.
Now looking back, I am so grateful to each one of these cards I was dealt, for they were not shitty cards but gifts. Gifts that have guided me to live a life full of meaning & passion. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that I would be here now, with so much love and joy for life.

Mormon Pioneer Overland Travel
Between 1847 and 1868, Mormon emigrants traveling in more than 300 companies departed from various places and headed for the Salt Lake Valley. More than 60,000 LDS Church members traveled in these companies -- some traveling by foot, some in wagons, and some pulling handcarts.
This database is a compilation of names obtained from rosters and other reliable sources of individuals who immigrated to Utah during this two-decade period. Each company is listed under its captain's name, and basic information is provided, including a photograph of the captain where available. Many companies include a list of diaries, journals, letters, and reminiscences written by company members, as well as contemporary reports about the company. The content of several thousand of those narratives has been transcribed and is included in the database.
