Every man needs a good watch. This one by Uniform Wares suits all occasions with its minimal and masculine aesthetic. They've released some of the most interesting, yet timeless designs over the past few years.
This is one of my favorite fashion blogs, mainly because it's not only about fashion but it's also about the story behind the products and the brands I love. You can feel the history and heritage of each item.
Their designs have the comfort and casual feel of American wear and the thoughtful classicism of European design. It all feel authentic and their aesthetics are no-nonsense.
This is a superbly written fashion, lifestyle magazine that covers deeper content. The photography is beautiful but it also delivers engaging topics in fashion that you'd be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. The interviews are especially great because they get past the mundane questions.
The content of this magazine itself is pure quality and I love the way it brings international topics and design together. It's an inspirational way to discover new brands, new destinations, and new insight.
Such a cool brand that combines Parisian style with subtle flair. Not only do they design clothing, but they're also a music label and a publisher. I really admire the way they combine disparate art forms, and aren't afraid to collaborate with different artists. They have a "new classic" style in everything they create that is everlasting.
The extreme functionality of this suitcase makes it even more stylish. I travel a lot and I love its ease of use and sleek look. Nothing is forgotten in its design.
These are the best Japanese raw denim jeans you can get for such a price. The straight slim cut fits nicely and dresses up with a blazer so well.
Each Ace Hotel is unique in its own city; I love the one in New York because it feels like my apartment. Whichever one I stay at, the atmosphere is always really chill. Such a great place to start a journey.
I'm a big fan of Warby Parker's designs and their philosophy. I can really see my own customers in their products as well. I own the Griffin frame in a few different colors: Blonde tortoise is perfect for a day at the beach.
Small, dark, and beautiful. It became my "favourite" boutique hotel in Paris from my days studying in Europe. The restaurant is wonderfully relaxed and a different artist designed each room.

"November 2014: Windows Release 9"

Anyone know if it's going to have a classic desktop with the start orb or is it going to be a start screen like 8?
People think it's about Windows 9 because they have it a code name and also we already have a bump in the minor version number of the kernel which never happens with service packs, but at the same time this is << racial epithet >> than a SP.
Posted 03 March 2013 - 05:26
When the MS Taiwan guy posted about windows codename 9 was started at 9622, some people already speculated on winblue is targeted to RTM at build 9600, it was quite obvious because 9600 is a multiple of 100 and 16.
I'm guessing M2 will be when they hit 94xx though there was that bit about blue RTM being 9600.
To kill off win8, like win7 killing off vista.
What is the objective of Windows 9?
Guess you are not going to clarify a bit in here or in windows team blog? (hope I am wrong though )
Lots of misinformation in this thread... just saying.
Posted 03 March 2013 - 05:33
There's not much of a beta scene anymore. Back during the XP days and to a lesser extent the Vista days there was. But now? No way. I don't consider seeing one or two previews enough to spark a beta scene. I lost interest after Windows 8 to be honest.
Looks like it could be fun to dive into the beta scene again

This particular horn, which was placed on top of a metal stand, also served as a shrine object.

Natalie Ross, third-year Master of Landscape Architecture student, was one of eight MLA students from across the US selected for an internship to "green" the grounds of the US Mission in Geneva, Switzerland.
Ross and the Greening Geneva team held a two-week charette, dividing into three workgroups to come up with proposals for the entire site. The ideas were presented to the mission, including the ambassador to the United Nations. The workgroups then unified and worked on the best ideas, creating detailed designs for each. Ross was in charge of drainage and parking as well as the master plan.

Drinking Games
By Malcolm Gladwell
In 1956, Dwight Heath, a graduate student in anthropology at Yale University, was preparing to do field work for his dissertation. He was interested in land reform and social change, and his first choice as a study site was Tibet. But six months before he was to go there he got a letter from the Chinese government rejecting his request for a visa. "I had to find a place where you can master the literature in four months, and that was accessible," Heath says now. "It was a hustle." Bolivia was the next best choice. He and his wife, Anna Cooper Heath, flew to Lima with their baby boy, and then waited for five hours while mechanics put boosters on the plane's engines. "These were planes that the U.S. had dumped after World War II," Heath recalls. "They weren't supposed to go above ten thousand feet. But La Paz, where we were headed, was at twelve thousand feet." As they flew into the Andes, Cooper Heath says, they looked down and saw the remnants of "all the planes where the boosters didn't work."

Your best friend for file transfer.Fetch
Filezilla XML import (3 posts)
- Started 6 years ago by Nacho
- Latest reply 6 years ago from Nacho
Nacho Member
I have downloaded the trial and the software looks beautiful. The thing is that I have hundreds of sites in a filezilla XML and I need to have them imported to be able to use it.
Is that functionality coming anytime soon?
Scott McGuire Administrator
I assume you mean settings from the Filezilla Site Manager that you have exported as XML?
If so, no, I'm sorry there's no way to import those into Fetch currently, and while I will file a feature request for this, I don't expect it will happen soon.
Sorry not to have a better answer for you. If I've misunderstood the question, or if you have other questions, please let me know.

New charging options for Delimiter 2.0
blog Happy Friday everyone! Urgh … where is my coffee. It's too early to be at work!! ;) Just a quick blog post to let you that we've listened very carefully to the feedback which people have been passing us about Delimiter 2.0 over the past week and a half since it launched. There were several common threads amongst the feedback in terms of the monthly subscription pricing.
Quite a few people wanted the monthly price of $9.95 to come down a little. While we're still going to maintain that price, as it is already working very well, we've also now added a yearly subscription price of $89.95, which brings the monthly price down to $7.50 if you subscribe to Delimiter 2.0 on a yearly basis. If you're already a monthly subscriber, you can easily cancel that subscription before you get charged next month, and re-subscribe at the yearly price to get the discount benefit. To meet the demand of one-off pricing for individual articles, we've also added an individual article price of $4.95. In other good news, this week's Delimiter 2.0 article is up! It's entitled 'Getting away with blue murder: How the NBN distraction is covering Telstra's crimes'. The first sample paragraph:
"The Federal Government's rollout of the National Broadband Network is the greatest show currently playing in Australia; with constant gaffes from high-profile politicians, a war of words that would make make toughened bikies wince and giant red buttons that set off fibre-optic fireworks, at times it has seemed that all the NBN needs to be a complete circus is a canned laugh track. But under the cover of this madness and media hype, there's another high-wire act under way: The nation's other telco monopolist, Telstra, is successfully concentrating its market power; and that's not good news for anyone."
In terms of the wider success of Delimiter 2.0, it's fair to say that the sign-up rate so far has easily exceeded our expectations. You can see that several of the articles, particularly our pieces on Malcolm Turnbull's reputation and the recent issues with NBN Co's board, have generated a substantial amount of reader debate in the comments. In addition, the site has already proved very successful at incentivising me personally to write more detailed and better articles. It's been quite exciting working in this format, and I already have several articles in mind for the next month or so. It's been a while since I've worked on articles this comprehensive or detailed, and I'm enjoying it a great deal ;) In any case, happy Friday and have a great weekend! As always, leave any feedback in the comments :)

Charging ??? No way Jose ! I'm unsubscribing now !!
huh? you know this is for Renai's other Delimiter site and not this Delimiter site
Renai is just pandering to his new editor at Delimiter 2.0, as well as his existing editor at Delimiter 1.0.
He should have a stern word with each of them.
Congratulations Renai, great to see it is proving successful for you! A question – do you expect to publishmore content from third party contributors on D1 now?
D2 the mighty ducks.
Given the subscription costs of sites elsewhere (I'm looking at you, Crikey) D2 is inexpensive.
I haven't subscribed to D2 yet , still considering whether I spend $10/month. The annual rate might sway me, still considering… @Brendan , I pay $130 for a 12 month crikey subscription – so not really sure one could say that is expensive when comparing to D2.
If you haven't already Renai, have you considered offering some kind of partnership/promo with or feature in crikey? If I had the option to buy D2 as a bolt-on to my crikey renewal I reckon I would probably take it.
any plans to change the name from Delimiter 2.0 to something a little less naff?
perhaps "Delimited".
Or Jeff.. I like Jeff

I remember our elder son, at about 18 months old, watching cars go past his buggy. "Car. Nudder one car. Nudder one car. Lots of cars!" Not bad at that agebut even today, some adults get little further.
At the other extreme, mathematician Andrew Wiles proves Fermat's Last Theorem, which has baffled the best minds for three and a half centuries. Talent for mathematics is unevenly distributed across the human race. Those that have it make giant strides in comparison with those that don't. And our numerical ability grows with agethat 18-month-old is now a professional computer programmer.

My dad laughed at me for sending so many Halloween updates, so this post is for him! May you continue to laugh at your Halloween-loving daughter! :)
My favorite holiday did not disappoint: concert, karaoke, visit with my favorite drag queen, opera… I really am such a lucky girl!
Here are my favorite Halloween-related links of this week:
Who Says You Can't Celebrate Halloween in Rural China?
Wokai Fellow Evan Kornbluh posted this gem (with photos including that one ) about the Halloween party he hosted in Yilong County, complete with jack-o-lanterns, masks, candy, and holiday spirit.
However, there can be a flip side to Halloween fun, if school officials say: No Horsing Around
Lately I have been addicted to The Good Men Project, a web magazine that features all kinds of real stories about what men really think about things. This piece about a high school student's unjust suspension for his awesome Halloween costume, especially caught my eye:
As part of his school's spirit week, Dan Depaolis, a senior at Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School in the Boston area, was suspended for dressing as a medieval knight and riding a horse to school. If anything, he should be getting an award, not a suspension…
And what would Halloween be without sweet treats? Sweet treats can symbolize larger themes of globalization, outsourcing, and our increasingly connected world.
I stumbled upon this thought-provoking post by Kriszia Vengua, a Filipina freelance writer and entrepreneur. She writes:
At my local supermarket, there's an aisle that still sells Chips Ahoy and Oreo cookies with the "Made in the USA" stamp on it. And people still buy it, even when there's a cheaper pack of Oreos and Chips Ahoy that's made in Thailand a couple of aisles down.
"Can they honestly do what I do?" a US based transcriptionist wrote on a job board once "How can someone from halfway around the world do what I can I do for that price? How can they be better?"
The answer is simple: they receive the exact same training, get the same amount of experience, in a country where labor prices are low, and English happens to be an official language.
There's no accent needed in typing words. When that transcription comes in, you can hardly ever tell that it was typed by someone thousands of miles away. It's essentially the same Oreos, the same Chips Ahoy.
There's no emotion attached to the process: an order is placed, and someone fills it. Someone craves a cookie, they buy one.
The emotion lies more on the buyer: a friend of mine swears that the imported cookies tastes better. I admit, there's a subtle difference, but it's all a matter of preference. For someone who just wants something sweet, the difference is negligible.
I highly recommend reading her whole post. I once interviewed with a consulting firm in Washington D.C. that helps big companies enter emerging markets. As part of my final interview, I had to give a presentation on investing in the Filipino food processing industry. Her anecdote about the Oreos would have fit right in!
And, last but not least, the best way to get rid of a post-Halloween hangover is to begin celebrating the next holiday. Colin Nissan puts a name on this holiday, in McSweeneys:
I don't know about you, but I can't wait to get my hands on some fucking gourds and arrange them in a horn-shaped basket on my dining room table…
Thanks Cooper for that profanity-strewn link! Have a great day :)

Nick Bierley
yea these should work for you, but of course you would want to try em on in person. if you arent sure, i would go with the splice, which is for medium faces, but really fits everything. good luck, peace

A shining light in a gray post-war era, Albert "Al" Parsells accomplished so much and did so against the odds. One of the arena's finest stars, he was nine-goals both in the arena and on the grass, all the greater achievement having lost an eye as a child.
A textbook sportsman, Al shared his talent with all who sought him. He coached aspiring players and was always ready with helpful advice. He managed the famed Meadow Brook and Squadron-A polo clubs, and were it not for his untimely death at the age of 36, his exploits would be greater still.
In his short career, Al represented the East indoors and out, won two arena Senior Championships, a National Arena Chairman's Cup and a Monty Waterbury title.

Throughout the decline I maintained we were merely dealing with a cooling off period in a strong bull market, and the data highlighted below continues to support the notion as the market's long-term trend and momentum remain in bullish territory.

ChattySeptember 10, 2008
Ahhh. A day off. A lurvely day off, and I have nothing planned. I absolutely adore when my Google calendar daily email says in the subject line: You have no events scheduled today. There. I just went and looked at it again. I could just eat that line.
Hang on. I have to go get coffee. And maybe put on socks. It's a little crisp in here, THANK GOD. The heat wave is over for now.
Okay. Back, with socks and coffee. I feel chatty today. Hi! Pull up a chair!
I'm still loving my Kindle, have I told you that? It has several unexpected features:
Feature one - It facilitates reading somehow, so that I'm reading more than I usually do, and I usually read a lot. I think it has something to do with the fact that it's normally with me, whereas I often forget to carry a book. With books, I usually have one in my car, two or three at work, and seven or thirteen on my bedside table. I read what's with me where I am or what I'm in the mood for, but I don't transport them. That doesn't leave me one while I'm waiting for the sushi to be ready, or at the post office (like I'm ever there. Hate the post office). I've never been in the habit of having a book in my purse. Knitting, yes. Book, no. Now that I have the Kindle, it's always around, and it pleases my non-monogamous reading nature. I can dip into anything that's in there.
Feature two - The shopping pleasure! In a weird way, I think it's saving me money. Go with me here. I hear about books I have GOT to read. I read about them online or in magazines. Then if I see them in the store, I have to buy them, or I might forget what I wanted to read. Or if I go to Amazon and find that it's a starred PW review and the blurbs are amazing, I'll just impulse-shop them right into my one-click cart. NOW, if it's available on Kindle (and most of my wants are), instead of buying it, I send the first chapter to my Kindle. For free. FREE! Then, of course, I forget it's there. I have maybe fifty first chapters sitting in my Kindle right now. But someday, when I'm not sure what to read next, I'll sample some and buy one (instantly downloading it) only if I love it and I know I want to go on reading. Grabbing those chapters completely fulfills that Book Shopping Urge that I get sometimes, and it doesn't cost me a thing until I commit to a book I'm already reading.
Reading now - Hillbilly Gothic, Adrienne Martini. Which brings me sideways to feature three: If you click that link to the right, you can see you have to buy it from a secondary book-source, probably used. Amazon doesn't carry it anymore. While I have my own issues with Amazon versus Indie bookstore (give the indies the love and the money!), there always remains the fact that Amazon is just so damn easy to use. And while everyone loves a cheap book, if I buy her book used, Adrienne doesn't get any of the money for her hard work. Writers should be paid, I think, and I like to give THEM the money, not a huge used-book warehouse in Indiana. Amazon carries her book in Kindle format, though. She gets the money, I get the instant gratification.
I'm loving Hillbilly Gothic. A memoir, she writes with what appears to be such transparent honesty that even when she admits the hard stuff, the ugly parts, you're still with her, still very much on her side. And get this: she's a Raveler! Martinimade over there, her blog is here. Her blog is as well-written as her book is. Enjoy.
I'm also loving the Murakami running book (link to right). I'm signed up for the Nike half-marathon in, oh, a MONTH or so, and I haven't run more than two and a half miles in forever. And even then, I was trotting slowing and wheezing a bit. Lordy. What with my propensity to blisters, I really don't think I'll make it through the whole thing, but I've promised a friend to give it a try. I'm going to try for a six-mile run today. Just to see if it kills me. If it doesn't, I'll go on running. If it does, well, I won't have to run again, will I? All this to say, I love READING about running. When I'm reading about it, I am SUCH a great runner. Lying in bed after two Manhattans and five brownies, reading his perfect prose about running, I fly with him, knowing the next morning I will probably run a voluntary half-marathon, just because I feel like it. Yep.
Not Reading now - Anything Twilight by Stephenie Evans. I'm sorry. I'm totally sorry. I gave it the old college try, I really did. I read the first one and while it was fun, I never bought into it. I wanted to love Bella, I wanted to want to be Bella, the best way to read a book, but I never did. Edward was mildly interesting, but not compelling. I finished the first and bought the second, wanting to buy into it. But I have given up. I am in the minority, I know.
Watching -
Fringe: I kinda liked it. That's as enthusiastic as I can be, but I'll watch it again.
Gossip Girl: OMG, that last episode was AWESOME. I love that show. It's not even a guilty pleasure anymore. I'll tell anyone. I LOVE it.
Long Way Down: Oh, Ewan. I love you, too.
ANTM: Go, Isis!
Listening -
To Digit complain.
And now. Off to run. Wish me luck! And then to watch more TV and knit, because I can on a day off like this.

Dell's Streak 7 3G tablet has popped up on a daily deals site for cheap, following the PC maker's withdrawal of the Android tablet from global markets in December last year.
The seven-inch Android tablet has appeared on Catch of the Day for $179. It launched in 2010 and was previously available exclusively through Optus on a $29, 24-month plan (for a minimum cost of $696) or outright for $649.
The Streak 7 boasts 3G capabilities, 2GB memory, a seven-inch 480x800 display and Nvidia Tegra T20 chip, running on Android's 3.2 Honeycomb operating system.
It has a 5MP back and 1.3MP front camera, and is being sold on Catch of the Day with a 12-month warranty.
Dell's cancellation of the Streak 7 followed the withdrawal of the Streak 5, its 5-inch sister, in August last year.
"Dell remains committed to the mobility market and continues to sell products here and in other parts of the world," the company stated upon its discontinuation of the Streak 7 in December.
"Streak 7 delivered a unique experience for customers who wanted a larger screen size yet the freedom of staying connected to their personal and professional content while on the go."

Re: Instruments you enjoy playing!!!
I love dabbling with other instruments.
After my sister left home, she left a piano and clarinet around after some abortive learning attempts. I enjoyed messing around with piano and taught myself the first four bars of the Pink Panther theme on clarinet (with many squeaks along the way). A local friend had an alto sax and I worked out how to play the same Pink Panther line on that too :)
I especially enjoy sequencers and drum machines. The learning curve is a drag but once you've climbed the mountain and set things up they are wonderful things. Done lots of with them. I like keyboards generally and agree with Matthias re: piano.
Tried on and off to play guitar for many years but it hurt my fingers and I could never hold the strings down cleanly playing bar chords.
Love bongos and djembes of course. Love to try out timpani but haven't had the chance.
A bassist I played with taught me how to play didgeridoo (but not the circular breathing). Can be a very cool rhythmic instrument - a bit like beat box. I have one at home and occasionally play it and I don't care about the taboo against women playing them, just as I don't care about
archaic gender-based rules.

DOJ: HCA settles feds' complaint for $16.5 million
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Justice Department and HCA have reached a $16.5 million settlement over violations of federal laws that restrict financial relationships between hospitals and physicians.
The case arose after two subsidiaries of the Nashville-based hospital chain gave financial benefits to Diagnostic Associates of Chattanooga, a physicians group, in an effort to get more patient referrals to HCA facilities, the Justice Department said in a news release Wednesday.
The financial transactions in 2007 involved HCA Physician Services in Nashville and Parkridge Medical Center in Chattanooga. Officials said rental payments for offices leased from the physicians group exceeded fair market value, and members of the physician group were released from a separate lease obligation.
Federal law prohibits the payment of medical claims that result from financial relationships between hospitals and the physicians who may refer patients to them.
"Physicians should make decisions regarding referrals to health care facilities based on what is in the best interest of patients without being induced by payments from hospitals competing for their business," said Bill Killian, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, in a prepared statement.
Kathy Winn, a spokeswoman for Parkridge Health System, said in a prepared statement, "We are pleased the matter is concluded, and we will diligently fulfill the terms of the corporate integrity agreement."
The case arose from a whistleblower lawsuit filed in East Tennessee. The whistleblower will receive an 18.5 percent share of the settlement money.
The settlement requires Parkridge to hire an independent organization to review its business arrangements and transactions and work with the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to ensure compliance with federal laws.

The first confirmed artists for Sónar Barcelona 2015 are... The Chemical Brothers, Autechre, Kindness, Evian Christ, Fat Freddy's Drop, Daniel Avery, Ten Walls, Lee Gamble, SOPHIE MSMSMSM, Holly Herndon, PXXR GVNG, Kiasmos, Kate Tempest, Tourist, Vessel, Niño, Mans o, Heleha Hauff...
We will be waiting for you the 18.19.20 June 2015
Is Ed touring next year???
Good news for fans of the Big Beat era of electronic music: The Chemical Brothers have confirmed that it will be dropping a new LP during 2015, its first since 2010. Although the music may sway far from classic records such as Exit Planet Dust and Dig Your Own Hole, this may be the second big release from the scene next year as The Prodigy is well on its way to dropping a new LP during 2015 according to Resident Advisor.
What's to be expected? In terms of actual audio, the "brothers"—Ed Simons and Tom Rowlands—have only hinted that the album will be heavily tied into a new live show the pair is developing. Another announcement from this morning indicates that the new show will serve as the headliner at the annual Sónar music and technology festival in Barcelona during June. Rowlands indicates that the show "will be an intense ride."
"The most important feature of the album is that it connects with us emotionally in some way," he said. "We hope for finding a new way to make you feel. We dream of new sounds and different frames. We have worked with some guest singers but mostly the album is pure Chemical Brothers."
The announcement is particularly sweet to those keeping a finger on the pulse of the scene as it flies almost completely in the face of claims that Simons made a few weeks ago in an interview with organizers for the Bugged Out Weekender. Simons claimed, as was accurately reporter by Music Times' Ryan Middleton at the time, that he would be stepping away from the Chemical Brothers live act to pursue both academic activities as well as a possible solo EP. We don't know how much of that is true or if he was just planting red herrings, but we're sure excited to check out the new gig when it comes stateside.

Google had not taken permission from Survey of India before organising a mapping competition in Feb-March 2013
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered a Preliminary Enquiry (PE) against internet giant Google over Mapathon 2013, an event organised by the US company, for allegedly violating laws by mapping sensitive areas and defence installations, prohibited under law.
CBI registered the inquiry based on a complaint filed by the Surveyor General of India's office to the home ministry, in which Google has been accused of indulging in activities of mapping areas not included in the maps of the country, official sources said here.
The internet giant had not taken permission from Survey of India (SoI), the country's official mapping agency, before organising a competition in February-March 2013 when they asked citizens to map their neighbourhoods, especially details related to hospitals and restaurants.
Alarmed by Mapathon, the SoI asked the internet giant to share details on where they found several coordinates having details of sensitive defence installations which are out of the public domain.
Highlighting the violations to the home ministry, SoI said only it was mandated to undertake "Restricted", category surveying and mapping, and no other government or private organisations or individuals were authorised to do so.
According to the National Map Policy 2005, "The responsibility for producing, maintaining and disseminating the topographic map database of the whole country, which is the foundation of all spatial data, vests with the Survey of India."
Responding to queries, Google India said, "We are in touch with relevant authorities and take national regulations and security very seriously. We are not aware of any privacy issues and have nothing more to share at this point in time."
After an initial probe by Delhi Police, the case was handed to CBI, as investigations required access to places across the country and, if need be, questioning of some individuals with the help of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as Google is incorporated in the US.
It was alleged that Google India had launched a nationwide contest and people might have passed on maps and other key details of strategic installations located in other cities and states to the US company, the sources added.
For SoI, it was clarified that the company never took any permission before undertaking the mapping exercise, and from national security point of view, civil and military vital areas, vital points cannot be shown in the map/data published in public domain.
CBI might be roping in some Army officials in its probe as some sensitive installations have allegedly been mapped in its services, the sources said.
Mumbai Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria has received a letter purportedly threatening a terror attack in the metropolis to "take revenge for Gaza" ...

Jordan Williams, Philosophy Alum, Returns from Studying in St. Andrews, ScotlandNov. 5, 2012
My Year in St Andrews
During my year at the University of St Andrews, I obtained an M.Litt. (equivalent to a Master's Degree) in Peace and Conflict Studies. This program is part of the School of International Relations at the University of St Andrews, and included both a two semester taught program as well as a final dissertation. In particular, my dissertation sought to add to the field of peace and conflict studies in regard to the role of education in post-conflict transformation. The academic exercise of writing this dissertation was especially challenging, but it was also extremely rewarding. The complexities and difficulties of post-conflict transformation are very relevant for our world today, and I can only hope that my small contribution adds to our collective knowledge as well as helps to improve the futures of children across the globe.
Not only did this M.Litt. program help me to grow through extensive research and thoughtful analysis, but the fieldwork included in this program also gave me a unique opportunity to see post-conflict peacebuilding in action. In March of this year, my class travelled to Sarajevo and met with several local peace NGOs in order to better understand what peacebuilding looks like in practice. In short, post-conflict transformation and peacebuilding is far from easy or straightforward. Peacebuilding requires intense patience, courage, and--interestingly--creativity. Understanding and recognizing local people's experiences is perhaps one of the most important aspects of sustainable peacebuilding, and this often requires thinking outside of the standard checkboxes of development.
During this year, I also served as a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar. This scholarships opportunity has truly been one of the most wonderful gifts in my life. During my year as a Rotary Scholar, I found that being an ambassador of goodwill did not necessarily mean completely revolutionizing the entire world all at once. Instead, being an ambassador of goodwill often means really listening to people who have had different lives than you--sharing stories and engaging with each other's thoughts and beliefs in a generous and thoughtful way. Whether it was chatting over a meal at a Rotary Club or speaking with Scottish locals at various Rotary fundraisers, there were many opportunities for me to talk about what I have learned and build unique friendships with people from across Scotland and the world.
As the University of St Andrews is such a global university, I found myself in many conversations with people from across the planet. With friends from Norway, Canada, Kosovo, Romania, Germany, the Netherlands, Pakistan, Mexico, China, and others, I often found myself in the midst of conversations in which we shared our own unique stories and listened to each other's varied beliefs and opinions. Not only do many of us plan to keep in touch as we continue on our separate paths, but I cannot help but think that such international friendships are a small part of what Rotary is all about. They may not instantly create world peace, but such friendships are perhaps a key to the doorway of meaningful and lasting global understanding.
In all, this past year has given me so much more than simply a degree. It has grown me as a person on so many levels, which I hope to take with me in the future. Specifically, I plan on spending a few years doing some type of humanitarian work in the context of a non-profit organization for a few years. This program has greatly impressed upon me the need for meaningful contextualization in regard to peacebuilding, so I hope to spend a few years learning what this means by serving on the ground in a peacebuilding process. It is my hope that by working for a peacebuilding NGO, I will be able to put much of what I have learned at Baylor and St Andrews to work and serve my global community in a small, but hopefully meaningful, way.

Bacon's cleaner was forbidden to touch his studio at 7 Reece Mews, South Kensington, where he lived and worked for thirty years. He said of it, 'I feel at home here in this chaos because chaos suggests images to me'. The fragments of photographs, newspapers, books and catalogues that littered the floor were Bacon's source material. When Bacon died, one hundred of Peter Stark's prints were found in his studio, which he had used to create three self-portraits. The contents of the studio were removed to the Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin, where the room has been painstakingly recreated. This contemplative portrait of the artist in isolation was taken on the same day Stark photographed Bacon enjoying a convivial lunch at Wheeler's restaurant (also displayed here). Bacon painted in the mornings, heading to Soho at noon.

sputnik had two, connected consequences for the United States, both of them essential for the world we now live in.
That Redstone rocket was meant to boost American morale after the Soviets launched sputnik.
Tortoise disqualified for technical reasons, first place awarded to sputnik hare.
"artificial satellite," 1957 (launched Oct. 4, 1957), from Russian sputnik "satellite," literally "traveling companion," from Old Church Slavonic supotiniku, from su- "with, together" + poti "way, journey" (from PIE root *pent- "to go, pass;" see find (v.)) + agent suffix -nik.
The electrifying impact of the launch on the West can be gauged by the number of new formations in -nik around this time (the suffix had been present in a Yiddish context for at least a decade before); e.g. the dog launched aboard Sputnik 2 (Nov. 2, 1957), which was dubbed muttnik by the "Detroit Free Press," etc., and the U.S. satellite which failed to reach orbit in 1957 (because the Vanguard rocket blew up on the launch pad) derided as a kaputnik (in the "Daily Express"), a flopnik ("Daily Herald"), a puffnik ("Daily Mail"), and a stayputnik ("News Chronicle").

Differences in medication usage in the Wichita and Georgia cohorts could be due to the different... Medication usage was not the same in the CFS populations found in the Wichita and Georgia populations. The authors summarise the similarities and differences in the following paragraph: "Our findings confirm those from a previous study of medication use in persons with CFS from Wichita, Kansas. Both studies found significantly higher usage of pain relievers, gastrointestinal drugs, antidepressants and benzodiazepines by persons with CFS compared to Well controls. Unlike the Wichita study, though, persons with CFS in Georgia were not significantly more likely than controls to use hormones and supplements but were significantly more likely than controls to use muscle relaxants and anti-allergy and cold/sinus medications. Overall, compared to persons with CFS from the Wichita study7, a smaller proportion of persons with CFS in Georgia used pain-relievers (65.5% in Georgia vs. 87.8% in Wichita), supplements/vitamins (44.3% vs. 62.2%), antidepressants (36.3% vs. 41.1%), antibiotics (7.1% vs. 16.7%), hormones (43.4% vs. 52.5%. among women only, 11.8% among all CFS), antihypertensive drugs (17.7% vs. 21.1%), muscle relaxants (8.9% vs. 12.2%), anti-asthma medications (7.1% vs. 12.2%), glucose-lowering drugs (0.9% vs. 4.4%.). Use of other prescription drug categories such as lipid-lowering drugs (11.5% vs.12.2%) and benzodiazepines (12.4%, vs. 11.1% respectively) was similar in Georgia and Wichita (Kansas). The relatively lower usage of most prescription drug medications by persons with CFS in Georgia compared to Wichita may reflect lower seeking of, or lower access to, health care." An alternative reason could be that the two sets of criteria for CFS used were not selecting the same type of patients. The current study[1] uses the empiric definition for CFS[2]. As one can see from the paper that gives the criteria involved in the empiric definition, although it is also based on the Fukuda definition[3], a different number of patients satisfy the criteria [2] compared to how the authors used the definition in the initial study of the Wichita population. This change looks more significant when one looks at the prevalence rates for CFS obtained in the two cohorts. In the Wichita study[4], the prevalence of CFS was 0.235% (95% confidence interval, 0.142%-0.327%). In the Georgia study[5], the prevalence of CFS was 2.54%, 10.8 times the prevalence in the Wichita study! Concerns have been raised[6,7] about the newer method[2] of operationalizing the Fukuda definition[3] that were used in the current study[1]. In the only study[7] using the empiric criteria [2] that I am aware of that did not involve the CDC CFS team, 38% of those chosen as patients with Major Depressive Disorder but not CFS, were found to satisfy the new criteria[2] for CFS.

Individual validity of patient reported outcomes: The use of the Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ) in primary care JWH Kocks, T. van der Molen Department of General practice, University Medical Center Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands JWH Kocks – email@example.com – corresponding author T van der Molen – firstname.lastname@example.com Abstract Response to Ställberg et al. Health and Quality of Life Outcomes 2009,7:26 Dear Editor, With great interest we have read the article by Ställberg and colleagues[1] describing the validation of the Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ) in primary care. As developer (TvM) and researcher (JWHK) of the CCQ we like to thank the authors for performing a study so relevant for clinical practice, but also like to comment on two essential results and interpretations by the authors. The authors use a different approach than commonly to determine the stability of the patient reported outcomes (test-retest reliability). Based on statistical analyses alone the authors conclude that the CCQ reliability might not be sufficient for individual patient monitoring. The test-retest reliability is assesed using the St. George's respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ) as indication for stability. The authors state in the discussion that they choose a long time- interval of: ??? to determine the test-retest reliability. A long time-interval indeed minimizes the problem of recall bias[2], but adds difficulty determining the stability using the intra class coefficient. The authors choose an other widely used health status questionnaire to determine change. The use of the SGRQ as method to determine stability raises two issues: 1. the cut off point of 4 points as the minimal clinically important difference is mainly based on the effectiveness of medication in a one year trial, which may not be sufficient bases to use it as a stability measure[3] and 2. The timeframe on which SGRQ "stability" was determined is "lately" as the authors describe in their methods. We suggest for future studies the use of the commonly used Global Rating of Change scale (GRC) in a shorter timeframe. The authors state that the CCQ's reliability may not be sufficient for the monitoring of individual patients. The result of the crohbach's alpha (0.85) and the intra class coefficient (0.85) found in the study are indeed below the suggested threshold of 0.9 for individual monitoring. In previous studies the crohnbach's alpha and the ICC's of the CCQ were higher 0.89 to 0.99[4,5]. In the previous paragraph we already discussed the validity of the method to determine the ICC. Taken this into account to our opinion the authors can therefore not justify the conclusion on the individual patient monitoring in this specific study. Next to the statistical grounds, we previously proposed a new method to determine the individual validity of patient reported outcomes[6]. In short, we suggest to determine the concordance between the patient score and an in-depth interview with the patient. We performed a study using this method for the CCQ and the concordance (Lin's concordance correlation confident (CCC)) in 44 patients was 0.88 (submitted). These results together with the feasibility to use in routine practice, we suggest the CCQ can be used in monitoring individual patients next to clinical trials and quality of care monitoring.

Inappropriate criticism While we welcome any constructive criticism to improve the quality of our systematic review, we were somewhat disappointed to observe that our review has not been read carefully enough. Franks demurs the missing of too many of his studies which unfortunately, however, did not meet our inclusion criteria as stated in the method section. There it says that articles were excluded if they investigated the impact of specific treatments (e.g. bandaging systems) or settings (e.g. leg ulcer clinics) on QoL. The rationale for doing this can be found in the discussion section under the heading "Weaknesses and strengths of this review".

What "The Dark Knight" is missing
Batman's "Dark Knight" nickname first appeared in 1940 in Batman #1 (page 7, last panel) and shortly after in Detective Comics #40, in stories Bill Finger wrote. (For those just joining this blog, Bill Finger is the uncredited co-creator and original writer of Batman.)
By virtue of having written a book on a DC character but with no real clout otherwise, I asked a decision-maker at DC several months ago if that Batman #1 citation could be acknowledged in the screen credits for The Dark Knight—after all, "Batman" is not even in the film's title. I emphasized that I was not asking if Finger could be credited as "co-creator" (because that's a legal minefield right now) or even if Finger could be credited with coining the term "dark knight" (because it's unlikely that can be proven one way or the other). I was asking only for a simple statement of fact.
The answer was expected. The answer was no. So Finger's name is not there, but as with all Batman stories, his Fingerprints will be all over it.

It seems Bob Kanes' greatest gift was foresight. He was the first comic book creator to recognise the importance of creator ownership.He was smart enough to also recognise his artistic failings and was quick to employ Finger, Robinson, etc., as "work for hire", a position Kane himself would have held if not for him signing a contract of ownership with DC. I don't believe the Jokers' creator, Jerry Robinson, received any film credit either.I whole heartedly agree that without Bill Finger, and for that matter Jerry Robinson,The Bat-Man would have gotten perhaps as far as the Crimson Avenger.But, I never have seen a Mickey Mouse cartoon giving credit to Ub Iwerks, or even know the name of the African American inventor of the phonograph working as an employee of Thomas Edison. Also, and this is not a criticism of Bill Fingers' truly wonderfull stories...all of the earliest Batman tales including the first adventure,borrow HEAVILY from Walter B. Gibsons' Shadow pulp novels. Should Walter Gibson receive credit as well ?

I would argue that Kane's greatest gift was the ability to recognize talent - first Finger, then Robinson. I don't think the foresight came from Kane - he had good advisers. Finger did more than write the early stories (some of which, yes, were rip-offs). His legacy is that he created a believable (and heart-wrenching) motive for a comic book superhero to do what he does - Bruce Wayne's parents' murder before his eyes. Plus he created the entire mood of Batman's world, from his iconic costume to most of the classic villains. His contributions were predominant.

Marc...I don't dissagree that Finger was an indispensible factor to the success of Batman. My point was that Kane after seeing the enormous sales of Superman and wishing to avoid Seigel & Shusters' predicament had a contract in writing with DC stating that he (Kane) was the owner of Batman.The Batman property being legaly his, Kane could farm it out to whomever he wished. Most notably Gardner Fox very early on came up with the Batarang & BatGyro/Batplane.As mentioned earlier, it was Robinson who dreamed up the Joker. There is also some possibility that early inker Sheldon Moldoff was the one who proposed a boy companion, that of course became Robin.Sad to say that Kane could have acknowledged Finger & others, but Batman was legaly his & he chose not to.
It is interesting to note that Finger was given credit for writing the first Green Lantern story, even though the character was created by Martin Nodell. It's also interesting to note that "Wildcat" was a name Finger had proposed for Robin. Wildcat of course became the co-creation of Finger & Irwin Hasen...Hasen having come to comics via Madison Sq.Garden boxing publications.Finger & Hasen also received written credit for Wildcat.
Question is , why didn't Finger follow Bob Kanes lead & simply negotiate a contract for these other characters along with their respective creators? I know Irwin Hasen has told me that at the time everyone seemed pretty happy with what they were getting paid . Compared to other lines of work, comic books then were paying quite well according to Mr. Hasen.

"It seems Bob Kanes' greatest gift was foresight. He was the first comic book creator to recognise the importance of creator ownership."
I believe this was more an influence of his father, than a young Kane himself.
As regularly omitted as his name might be in credits, I feel like I see Finger's name discussed twenty-times to each Kane.
I suppose that's a testament to some very Batman-style grass roots justice.

Mike, I agree that it does seem Finger is mentioned more than Kane, but that is in the insular world of comics fans. What I am hoping for is that his name will one day be known beyond that just as Batman is now beloved by people who don't consider themselves comics people. (Batman movies don't make hundreds of millions on geek money alone.)

Recent outbreaks of the virulent kiwifruit vine disease Psa originated in China, University of Otago scientists have confirmed.
As of last month, Psa-V had affected 69% of New Zealand kiwifruit orchards, cutting fruit yields and causing retail prices to rise by up to 20%.
Export volumes were expected to fall 10-13 million trays this season, with the most common variety of gold kiwifruit, Hort 16A, highly vulnerable to the bacterial disease.
Scientists said they have mapped the genome of the bacteria responsible for Psa, with final results published today in the journal PLOS ONE.
They analysed strains from China, Japan, Italy, New Zealand and Chile, finding evidence that recent outbreaks originated from China.
They also found distinct genetic encoding traits that may make the disease more aggressive.
These appear to have been transferred from bacterial strains attacking unrelated plants on at least three separate occasions, and may have triggered the virulent outbreaks.
Dr Matt Templeton, host-microbe interactions team leader in the Bioprotection Technologies Group of Plant & Food Research, said the paper indicated China was a likely source of Psa infection.
This had implications for managing the disease and in particular breeding for resistance.
"It also has important implications for our approach to both biosecurity and management, because we need to be sure we're looking out for the right things when protecting our borders and that we're taking the right steps to mitigate impacts post-border.
"The main conclusion of this paper would be strengthened by the analysis of more isolates from China."

A student whose name was deleted from the Busoga University 2012 graduation list has died. Ibrahim Sanyu, 23, is said to have developed health complications on realising that his name had been removed from the list of students who graduated on August 31.
He died on Sunday morning at Mulago Hospital in Kampala.
According to the deceased's father, Muhammad Sanyu, his son developed severe headache and vomiting after being told about the matter.
"For the last two months, he did not want to eat. He became frail and we rushed him to Mulago Hospital where he died," he said.
Sanyu was buried in Butakamira village, Bugweri county in Iganga district on Sunday.
Last month, Prof. Christopher Bakwesegha, the university's vice-chancellor, said they were making arrangements to meet the parents of about 10 students whose names could have been 'maliciously' scrapped off the list.
"I understand that one of the affected students developed health problems because of the saga. We shall apologise to the parents and stand by them during the difficult time," he said.
Sanyu had been pursuing a degree in business administration at the university's main campus on the outskirts of Iganga town.
Four top varsity administrators were recently sent on forced leave of six months in relation to the matter.

MIAMI (AP) -- Dwyane Wade scored 26 points, LeBron James finished with 24 points and seven assists, and the Miami Heat snapped a two-game slide by topping the New Orleans Hornets 106-90 on Saturday night. Chris Bosh scored 13, and Ray Allen and Shane Battier each added 11 for Miami, which took control by outscoring the Hornets 33-10 over the final 11 minutes of the first half. New Orleans started the game 10 for 12 from the floor, then shot 9 for 31 over the rest of the half. Ryan Anderson scored 24 for New Orleans, which got 20 from Robin Lopez and 12 from Jason Smith. Miami shot a season-best 58 percent and turned 19 New Orleans turnovers into 22 points. James has scored at least 20 points in all 18 Miami games this season. He tied a Heat record by scoring 20 in 23 straight regular-season games (going back to last season) and 39 consecutive games overall, including playoffs. He made 10 of his first 11 shots on Saturday. The Heat have been plagued by defensive issues at times ...
