Snowed in Saturday, David Blatt fired...Lebron surprised? Championship Sunday
in Sports
Straight snowed in up the house today as we will be discussing what happend yesterday afternoon in Cleveland with the Cavaliers firing Head Coach David Blatt. Lebron James says he was surprised by the move... but he didn't do much to prevent it either. Why even though I feel bad for Blatt and he was put in a tough spot from the beginning, it was a move that had to be made at 30-11 in order for Cleveland to go to the next level. Also going to be diving into Championship Sunday, my outlook for both games and picks.

Great Product

Posted by Reviewer3251842 on Apr 16, 2012
I've been using this for about two years now and it's worked well for my skin. I used to used harsher products like Neutrogena facial astringent, but the different types I tried were always too drying to my skin and I was always worried about the damage that would cause overtime. I heard about Witch Hazel and decided to try it. This was around the time when I got into using natural products. I'm still trying to figure out my skin care routine, but this has done me more good that any Neutrogena or Clearasil product. I still great breakouts, but using this + time and taking better care of my skin has helped even out my base skin tone. It just seems more radiant and healthy. Now, I just have to get my sister to use it!

Like the title says, the smell was unexpected to say the least. I thought that it went bad during its trip all the way to Korea but alas, it really does smell that way. But other than that, I like it. Its natural yet not that potent and it gets the job done. I also love how its cheap yet there's so much of it. It works, its cheap and they give you plenty of it.

Customer Reviews for Knitting Abacus Bracelet:
December 11, 2015
Laurie M
I am totally happy with my purchase of the abacus bracelet. Although I have several different methods of keeping track of rows and repeats, I find the abacus bracelet is the best. It is very easy and convenient to use, works exactly as described and is attractive so there's no harm in neglecting to remove it. Wish I had purchased this years ago.
July 18, 2015
Angela B
I have tried many different ways of counting rows and this is my favorite. Since its right there when I complete a row I usually remember to slide a bead. It is super easy to use. And if you have to run out while wearing it, it is cute and pretty. I am crazy for this bracelet and have bought a few. I highly recommend it!
April 9, 2014
Barbara M
It's pretty and the stones are real, not plastic, and they stay in place as shown. There are 9 beads on each strand. It's so pretty you could wear it like a bracelet! Great idea!
March 31, 2014
Avril C
Re: the Ablet
I have used this ever since it arrived, it beats any other row counter in every area. I Initially used it along with my little plastic row counter but found the ablet to be much faster and easier to use. I wouldn't be without it. Cheers Avril
January 2, 2014
Belinda S
Very pleased with product! Made well and is very easy to put on/take off. Beads do stay in place as shown. So happy with my purchase.
Happy Knitting ; )

Article: Effect of Hashish Use by the way of Smoking on Development of Pulmonary Hypertension in Youngs[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Hashish was reported having either acute or chronic many adverse effects on human body. In this study we aimed to evaluate the probable adverse effects of hashish smoking on pulmonary artery pressure and thus relationship to pulmonary hypertension development in youth by using echocardiographic examination method. METHODS: 21 young patient (age 22.3±2.0) addicted to hashish smoking (duration 6±1.2 years) and 25 healthy youths (age 22.2±1.5) were evaluated echocardiographically. Pulmonary artery systolic pressure through tricuspid regurgitation via continuous wave Doppler and pulmonary wave acceleration time and ratio of pulmonary acceleration time to pulmonary wave ejection time was measured via Pulse wave Doppler by using echocardiography. Also presence of dyspnea was interrogated. Data were analyzed statistically by Mann Whitney-U test. RESULTS: In the comparison of definitive features of groups there is not any significant difference. Pulmonary hypertension was diagnosed in youths addicted to hashish because of raised pulmonary artery pressures, supported by diminished pulmonary acceleration time, diminished ratio of pulmonary acceleration time to ejection time when compared to healthy youths. Dyspnea on either exercise or rest was presented in youths addicted to hashish with 85%. CONCLUSION: In the youth addicted to hashish smoking is closely related to develop pulmonary hypertension due to hashish and its smoke. We brought up that with our echocardiographic findings. This adverse effect of hashish smoking on the lung and the respiratory system is to be emphasized on the seminars or panels to the youth. Also those patients should be consultated to the specialist of cardiology. Serial echocardiographic examination is recommended for development or progression of pulmonary hypertension.

ABSTRACT: AIM/BACKGROUND: In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of chronic smoking on aortic elasticity in healthy young individuals. METHODS: The study population was composed of healthy and moderately active 20 volunteer males (21.8±1.4 years old) who have smoked more than 10 cigarettes/day for at least 3 years and moderately active (Smoker Group). Twenty five healthy males were enrolled to the study as the control group (21.6 ±1.5 years old). Heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP, DBP) of each subject were measured. Systolic and diastolic diameters of aorta were measured from ascending aorta at modified parasternal long axis views by M mode echocardiography. Parameters of aortic elasticity such as aortic strain (AS), aortic distensibility (AD) and stiffness index beta (SIB) were calculated using standart formulas. The parameters of groups were compared to each other. RESULTS: In the smoker group the mean duration of smoking and number of cigarettes were 5.5±1.9 years and 16.2±3.8 cigarettes per day, respectively. We did not find any statistical difference between groups in terms of ejection fraction, heart rate, SBP, and DBP. Aortic Strain and Aortic Distensibility were lower whereas stiffness index beta was higher in smoker group comparison to control group. CONCLUSION: In the conclusion, aortic elasticity was significantly decreased in chronically smoking healthy youths. [TAF Prev Med Bull. 2008; 7(2): 147-152]
Article: Comparison of the Treatment Period and Individual Properties of Patients with Hypertension Followed Up in the Two Cottage Hospitals from the Different Social Cultural Subgroups[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Hypertension is a major risk factor and also a component of metabolic syndrome. Its prevalence is closely related with social-cultural levels of a society. In this study we aimed to evaluate the blood pressure control in populations from lower (LSC) and higher social-cultural (HSC) subgroups of our society. METHOD: 53 and 36 hypertensive patients from societies with high and low social-cultural level, respectively. Systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressures (DBP), duration of the treatment, education and income levels of patients were recorded and analyzed. Independent samples t test and Pearsons Chi-Square test were used for statistical analyses. RESULTS: Age (51,08±5,6 vs 55,5±5,9 <0,05), SBP (128,8±7,8 vs 142,8±15,11 <0,05), and DBP (81,6±6,3 vs 88,01±6,9, <0,05) were found significantly increased in LSC. Blood pressure was not under control in LSC. The education and income level were statistically lower in the patients with high blood pressures. Also, it was noticed that the onset of hypertension treatment was significantly delayed in LSC when compared to the HSC. CONCLUSION: Control of blood pressure could not be achieved by the current hypertension drug treatment in the patients living in lower social-cultural subgroup of our society. Hypertension should be more effectively treated and monitored in the patients living in rural areas in order to reduce the prevalence of stroke and cardiovascular disease. It should be one of the health policies in preventive health care. [TAF Prev Med Bull. 2008; 7(4): 333-338]

Budget figures presented to the board that day by Project Manager Wade Cole of ORB Management show that the original amount budgeted for JLG's services, not including expenses, was $705,558.96, but that figure was lowered to $580,232.77 when the project cost was reduced from $11,885,134.68 to $9,484,757.58.
In the process of reducing the scope of the project to bring costs down, JLG was involved in producing new design specifications, but since it would be reimbursed according to a percentage of the costs, the amount of its compensation was reduced.
The county board tabled a discussion of the potential litigation by JLG.
ORB Management's compensation for the community center project was also reduced—from $557,835.18 to $421,000.08 (not including expenses)—when the scope of the project was reduced.
Meteorologist: snow and more snowMon, 04/15/2013 - 9:47am
If you think the snow is over, think again. WTIP's Jay Andersen spoke with National Weather Service meteorologist Steve Gohde about more snow on the way.
Lutsen waiting for snow to go before making landscape decisions at town hallSun, 04/14/2013 - 8:45am
The Lutsen Town Meeting on Tuesday, March 19 was fairly quick, as the township had just held its annual meeting the week before. As it was the last meeting for Supervisor Joe Buttweiler, who did not run for re-election, the board of supervisors wished him well. Tim Goettl will be sworn in as supervisor at the next town meeting.
At past meetings, changes to the town hall parking lot had been discussed, but supervisors decided to hold off on decisions about the parking area until the snow is gone and they can better assess the
parking situation. There was also discussion about landscaping around the town hall and a few minor interior things to be done.
Treasurer John Groth once again said, "We are really happy to be under budget."
Lutsen Fire Chief Paul Goettl said there will be a wildland firefighting course in May and June with the classroom portion of the training taking place at the Lutsen Fire Hall.
Groth said the township had received three checks for the Lutsen Fire Department, each for $1,000 from the three Caribou Highlands property owners associations. The town board gratefully accepted the donation.
The next Lutsen Town Meeting will be Tuesday, April 16 at 7 p.m. at the Town Hall at 116 Caribou Trail.

Announcement from Mrs. Huffines
Dear Sierra Families,
As our school year comes to a close, I want to take a moment to thank our staff, students, and families, for a wonderful and productive year. Together, we have accomplished so much! We celebrated our final Rachel's Challenge activity this week with the entire school holding our RC chain as it stretched around the playground. We've grown as an IB school and had a successful IB program evaluation. Many of our 4-6 classes are celebrating their 40 Book Challenge this week and we've had numerous student performances through plays, concerts, and our fabulous 6th grade IB Exhibition. A HUGE thank you to our PTC team and all the parents who've supported our fund-raisers, which in turn support IB at Sierra, as well as numerous instructional projects.
On that note, I'd like to announce that I have accepted a new position. Beginning July 1, I will become the new Director of Elementary Programs for Rocklin Unified School District. While this is an exciting new role for me, it is bittersweet, as leaving my Sierra family will be hard. I am confident however, that my successor will walk into a successful and supportive school community poised to take our IB program and our students to the next level.
With appreciation and respect,
Karen Huffines

RP Hopes to Repair Relations with Australia
Malacanang expressed confidence yesterday that the Philippine and Australian governments will continue to collaborate in various fields despite their diplomatic dispute following Manilas decision to pull out its 51-man contingent in Iraq.
Presidential spokesman Ignacio Bunye said while the government will not take rebukes from top Australian officials on the pullout, it still believes that ties with Australia will remain strong as ever.
"On the whole, I think our good relationships with Australia will remain. Our countries will continue to cooperate with each other," he said in a radio interview, optimistic that the "misunderstanding" is only temporary and would never undermine the long-standing partnership between the Philippines and Australia.
Earlier on, the Philippine government has lodged a diplomatic protest expressing the countrys "objections and disappointment" over the statements made by some Australian officials against the governments decision to pull out the Filipino humanitarian contingent a month ahead of schedule.
The Arroyo administration was forced to recall the contingent in Iraq early in reaction to the threat of Iraqi militants to behead captured Filipino truck driver Angelo de la Cruz.
Its decision, however, earned rebukes from the United States and Australia, which has taken the cudgels for the US as far as the matter was concerned.
Australia charged that Manilas retreat from Iraq only weakened the international campaign against terrorism and emboldened the Iraqi fighters to abduct more foreigners working for US forces and the rehabilitation of the violencewracked country.
Yesterday, Arab satellite TV reported that two Pakistanis were beheaded by Iraqi fighters.
The rebuke over the governments pullout decision came from Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer and was seconded by Australian Prime Minister John Howard.
A diplomatic protest was lodged with Australian Ambassador to the Philippine Ruth Pearce, who recently was conferred the prestigious Sikatuna Award.
Meanwhile, Bunye announced that the Saudi Arabian government has agreed with the proposal made by the Philippine government to "offload" Filipino truck drivers at the Saudi-Iraq border to avoid a repetition of the De la Cruz hostage crisis.
Time to move on
Administration lawmakers yesterday urged foreign governments to quit attacking the Arroyo government, arguing that it is time for everyone to move on after Philippines withdrew its contingent in Iraq and spared the life of truck driver Angelo de la Cruz. …

What are the pros? Tender, mild, and delicious
What are the cons? none
It is January and I have had this Bok Choy under a plastic row cover sense fall. Very cold hardy! Though you can eat this crop in a variety of ways - I prefer it as a salad green, because it is so mild, crisp, and tasty.

What are the pros? Mild savory flavor
What are the cons? 80% of my seeds bolted
Very easy to sew direct in garden. I wondered what the yellow flowering plant was because I had not planted anything of that description. I tasted it straight off the plant stalk and was surprised to taste a mild bok choy, sure enough it was the Ching Chang. We had weird weather this year so will I try it again? Possibly, or may switch to one a little more temperature tolerant, not sure yet.
16 out of 17 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? smaller variety
What are the cons? no real dislikes
Ching chang bok choi: Just fun to say! This bok choi was a hit in the garden. Harvested when small and young it is super in the kitchen and on the table.
I found that it intercropped well as it matures quickly and keeps a clean, orderly presence in the garden.
I found that it did bolt but not as quickly as other bok choi.
Germination rates were quite high.
11 out of 11 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros?
What are the cons?
I had never grown bok choy before and was very happy with the wonderful, prolific crop I was able to harvest with only 2 rows planted! We were happily awash in bok choy for most of early summer. I will be growing this again; it's great! And tasty!
10 out of 10 people found the following review helpful:
By far the best performer in our spring garden. Just waiting for it to cool off outside to grow some more.

Red Sox 2B Dustin Pedroia Back On DL
Fantasy Baseball All-Star Edition: Which Players Do You Actually Want On Your Team?Just because someone is an All-Star in the eyes of Major League Baseball doesn't mean you need or want them on your fantasy baseball roster. In fact, it's mostly irrelevant to smart fantasy owners. By looking the hitters and pitchers in line for the big honor this week, you can find assets you have that other clueless owners might want in a trade. Think about how to exploit that weakness in your fantasy baseball league this weekend.

Goof Off by ParadigmPizzaWatch
©2014-2016 ParadigmPizza
Man, it sure has been a while since I did any episode art, but that last episode was just way too good I had to do something for it. So in the spirit of Weird Al, I decided to parody a certain movie poster.
*circles forehoof in front of face* Goof....off.
wait.....FACE OFF! XD
i love this
I want to take his goof... off.
I want to take his face... off.
Good pic, man.
I'd watch that -- gotta be better than the original movie, I'm sure!
I'd watch this too, but I actually liked the original movie. Mainly because Revolta plays a bad guy (for the most part). He is such a smug jackass IRL, I just can't take him seriously as a good guy.
Well, she was ready EARLIER than first.
I can honestly say that it has been quite some time that I have seen a movie poster style piece! I love the way that this is designed as wrell as your awesome style that brings the image to life! The character design is done very well and I also love the fact that you poured a huge amount of detail into it such as the curves of Pinkie's lip and the solid line work all around! The soft textures are a wonderful contrast to the lines and add more dimensionality! The lighting and shading is also done extremely well and adds the pefect amount of depth! I also love the additional textures that you added to their manes to give flowing depth to the design as well! The color work is what ties all of this together and accents every glorious facet of detail! This is a really fantastic piece and I would really love to see much more of your exquisite work in the near future! Great work! Kind regards, Princess Luna
OMG. i had completely forgotten about face off xD
Wow, the quote on center of this poster is too funny for me to not giggle! XD
Great job!
I love face off
LOLOLOL! This is epic! Just, pure, epic!
This is soooo awesome!!!!!
Let the Goof Off begin!!
We all know that cheese was never born ready or ready before he was born.
And pinkie was not born ready 2.
Are...are you un-ironically taking an expression/saying on its literal meaning? For real? God help you if you're not simply trying to get a reaction out of me.
what Im just saying what they said in the show. Besides pinkie pie needed a 7 colored soinic boom to make her smile and to start her new life as a party pony.
Needs wallpaper version.
I've Got to finish Nicholas Cage month
I'm surprised the expressions aren't flipped since Cheese was the one who walked into down all serious with a party favor in his mouth. Still a really cool pic though!!!
Nostalgia Critic overload!

One of the remarkable aspects of your work is your ability to return to the same theme- a very beautiful pose- and bring something different from it every time. The differences are in the nuance and this is where your strength lies, in my opinion. On the one hand this is a common enough pose, on the other it is common precisely because it is so lovely and so essential, and your eye to balance of color and areas of color and white here (predominately ochre and white), leading to the area of the most complex color- the eyes, is great. You and your model breathe life into this photo so gently yet so absolutely. Change a single element and the structure would begin to fall. I like also the stability of the pose in juxtaposition with her look, like you caught her just as she was turning her head. Who is she? What is she thinking? Did the viewer catch her in a reverie or was she expecting to be caught during this fleeting second of transposition? An image that needed great delicacy of handling, and you and your model succeeded beautifully.
The Artist thought this was FAIR
16 out of 16 deviants thought this was fair.
One of the first things that jump out is how powerfully ethereal this is for a human being to be but that isn't a fault of the photographer but just that it is not often that a human being is this gorgeous. The almost uniformly while clothes and background compliment and extend gentle yet powerfully sensual brigthness. I will say you should have added something noticeable in the background for added layering. The picture would have been framed better of more of her mody length wax shown. Another thing I notice is the almost absent bottom of the centerpeice as more of the bed could have been included. The texture of the bed she is laying combined with the layered texture of what she is wearing combined by how her clothes cling non aggressively around every curve is what makes this a proper masterpeice. You can tell the mood of the picture as evident by how her hair is tied up unassumingly leaving the mystery of wether she is doing it to not get in her way of as a conservative style. Along with the haird ironically is how she is not afraid to gaze directly into the camera with a direct yet gently inviting gaze. A suttle indication of how inviting she is is the way she is not afraid to reveal everything that is important, even the way the clothing barely hangs over her shoulders and the way her underwear mould around her butt dissapearing into her butt crack. She does not want to be misunderstood yet she wants even the viewer to be confortable. You knew what the viewer would think viewing this and you worked with the model to ensure this. More than anything this is so radiant that you an see the soul of the model before you see what she wants you to see. There is obviously a world behind her eys. The textures of skin even have a story to tell, please make more of her as it will no doub thave something else to say.

I want to see her feet too. She looks cute and nice. Very good picture otherwise.
You have an incredible eye for this type of work- it is wonderful. I'm not a big fan of using aperture settings to create the "fading focus" look but your use here is subtle, intriguing, and great! And the model is absolute beauty. The look on her face obviously took some effort to catch.... nice work!
I'm in love ...
Very beautiful model and what a lovely set-up for this shot!

Alternate title: Halloween.com, Halloween Resurrection, Halloween 8, Halloween 8: MichaelMyers.com, Halloween: Homecoming, Halloween H2K: Evil Never Dies
Haddonfield, Ill., the all-American suburb where John Carpenter's 1978 horror classic, "Halloween," was set, is now the center of the dot-com universe, and a canny African-American entrepreneur, Freddie Harris (Busta Rhymes), and his techie girlfriend (Tyra Banks) have set up shop as "www.dangertainment.com." The concept: to wire half a dozen teenagers with tiny video cameras and send them out to spend Halloween night in the house where Michael Myers (Brad Loree), the unstoppable, psychotic killer who is the series's single enduring character, spent his unhappy childhood and claimed his older sister as his first victim. Almost as if "Scream" and its ironic, self-conscious sequels didn't exist, the latest "Halloween" movie stays slavishly close to the iron-clad rules of the teen slasher genre. Spectators will indeed sit open-mouthed before the screen, not screaming but yawning. — Dave Kehr

LatinaLista — Visit any Mexican American community or family home and chances are there is a statue or portrait of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patron saint of Catholic Mexicans. In fact, Our Lady of Guadalupe has reached such iconic status that her image has gone from church pedestals and home altars to pop art, t-shirts, Christmas ornaments, candles and even jewelry, embraced by non-Catholics as much as Catholics.
[caption id="attachment_21941" align="aligncenter" width="300"] (Top row L-R) Gaby, Monica, Raquel; (Bottom row L-R) Rosa, Elsie, Adriana, Brenda[/caption]
There's no better time of the year to see Our Lady of Guadalupe's image out in 'public' than around the time of her feast day, December 12. This year was no different, and for seven young Latinas from Boyle Heights, California that was a good thing.
Ranging in age from 14 to 20-years-old, the young Latinas were challenged with a special assignment — document the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe throughout their neighborhood and, via creative writing methods, express what she means to them, if anything.
[caption id="attachment_21942" align="alignright" width="225"] Photo taken by 14-year-old Gaby. Titled 'Not Just a Calendar.'[/caption]
The assignment was created by two organizations dedicated to empowering young Latinas — Las Fotos Project and Girls Today Women Tomorrow.
Las Fotos Project empowers Latina youth through photography, mentorship, and self-expression. Girls Today Women Tomorrow empowers girls to create their own opportunities for life success through contributing to their community as young leaders guided by mentors dedicated to expanding their horizons.
After being supplied with cameras and training in photography, each of the girls began scouting for the familiar image in their homes and neighborhoods. Their pictures were then assembled into three separate exhibits where the public got to know the photographers through their works and have the opportunity to purchase them.
For example, 17-year-old Elsie, took a picture of a man kneeling in front of a homemade altar and was struck by how the dominant machismo becomes subdued and humbled before one woman - Our Lady of Guadalupe; or Adriana, age 20, who when visiting her grandmother's room after she had died, discovered the depth of her grandmother's devotion to the beloved Virgin.
Fourteen-year-old Rosa took a picture of a mural of the iconic image that sported text declaring the saintly woman to be the "Queen of Mexico." However, Rosa wrote that Our Lady of Guadalupe didn't belong to just Mexico but also to the United States and how devotion to her has been carried north of the border by Mexicans.
Sixteen-year-old Raquel, whose mother had recently dedicated her life to God, snapped a photo of her mother in the family kitchen wearing a t-shirt that identified her as staff working for La Virgin de Guadalupe.
The combination of photos and texts completed a picture of not just a cultural icon and her role in Mexican American communities but the girls were able to capture the depth of religious devotion that exists within their community towards a religious figure whose popularity is not limited by generation or gender.
The girls' photos are available for purchase and can be viewed online.

The window.setTimeout (and related setInterval) function in Javascript allows you to schedule a function to be executed sometime in the future:

What I want is to update the timer. I want to be able to advance or retard a timer so that the function gets called x milliseconds sooner or later than originally scheduled.

originally_scheduled_time = getTimeout(id);
updateTimeout(id, originally_schedule_time + new_delay); // change the time

Is there a way to access the list of scheduled alarms and modify them?

Why science doesn't belong to everyone (yet)
Publications are the key to science — but it's an expensive exercise. And it puts a price on research that the public can't afford to pay, argue science writers Upulie Divisekera and Adam G Dunn.
There's an unspoken pact scientists make with the public. In the same way that doctors and police are held by law and by honour to tell the truth and protect, a scientist is entrusted with performing research with integrity and transparency. The research is carried out, the process painstakingly recorded in laboratory books. The results are scrutinised by peers, often repeatedly, until the work is published in a journal, where readers trust that the work is done accurately and without disguise.
Publications are the key to science: they are a public acknowledgement and record of what has been done and how it can be repeated by other scientists. This ability to replicate is the key to truth and integrity: if the results can be replicated, they are valid. A new fact, a new discovery, has been made.
Given the importance of validation and publication, you would think access to this vital, new information would be relatively easy. Scientists ought to be shouting their discoveries from the rooftops. And they are — but they're also often paying to publish their own work behind a paywall.
In practice, the information in peer-reviewed publications is not freely available to the public. It's not even freely available to other scientists. Journals have been around for hundreds of years but in the last quarter of the 20th century, academic publishing increased exponentially. The costs used to come from the physical processes of typesetting, printing and binding but access is now primarily electronic. Our largest databases are now closing in on 50 million articles and a library like that isn't just a wealth of knowledge — it's a wealthy profit source, too.
Elsevier, one of the largest publishers of science and medicine, is an obscenely profitable enterprise, having booked an operating profit of US$1.1 billion in 2010. Indeed, scientific publishing is one of the lesser-known scandals of history.
Research, largely funded by the taxpayer, is published in journals that charge up to five figures for a yearly institutional subscription. Even worse, scientists are often forced to cover the costs of publication. It's a nice way for a publisher to turn a profit: the authors are funded by the public to write your articles. Their peers also help to review, edit and compile the work into your journals' issues. Then you charge the authors' peers — and the public who funded the work — an exorbitant sum to access the final product. There's little wonder scientific publishing is one of the most profitable industries on the planet.
How can they do this? Prestige.
"We need to go back to the efficiency of open and free sharing that was necessary when resources were limited …"
Along with the exponential rise in the number of journals over the years we got a ranking system — measures of the impact journals have on research and the wider world. Journals like Nature and Science have come to be the science community's standards for prestige, and not simply because they are old. Their prestige is rooted in the fact they have published some of the most important discoveries of the past century, because of the impact their pages have had on the rest of science. To be published in Nature or Science has become the currency of tenure, akin to a secret handshake for access to an elite group and continued funding.
The dawn of the information age, coupled with static research funding has seen a change in perception and expectation. Information sources, whether they be newspapers, magazines or professional journals, are moving closer and closer to full digitisation as competition establishes itself in the online world (example: you're reading this on Crikey right now instead of on a Sunday morning in a monthly that was delivered to your household mailbox). Even more crucial, perhaps, is people have become accustomed to this and are now demanding faster access to more knowledge.
The open access era is fast approaching.
This movement reached a critical mass in recent times as hackers, activists and scientists began campaigning to increase access to publicly-funded knowledge. As universities tightened their belts, they started to cancel library subscriptions to journals at an increasing rate. What's more, they began to talk about it and the absurdity of the situation began to move into mainstream academic conversations.
This led to a strong push to make all new knowledge publicly available. The ascension of the internet age has given scientists the tools to make information available in a spirit of openness and accessibility. It's part of a cultural shift towards greater access to everything, a move towards greater transparency in both access and communication within the scientific community and scientists and the public who funds them.
Funding agencies are beginning to mandate open access to any publications produced through their grants process. Institutions have introduced, where possible, "green open access" policies, requiring any publications produced under their auspices be placed in a publicly available database.
Now, academics are posting their work online in tribute to the death of Aaron Swartz, the young developer and activist who recently committed suicide after intense pressure from those who sought to prosecute him for downloading published articles. Even Big Pharma company GlaxoSmithKline has moved to release the data from all published clinical trials to prove the safety and efficacy of the drugs they produce.
Academics around the world are only now catching up to the strong moral stance that was borne of the 1960s computer hackers — that all information should be free. Academics are beginning to think more about how the system often forces their work behind a paywall in the name of prestige, and to look at the obligations they have to those who fund their work.
Producing good science is hard enough. Telling the world about that good science is expensive and wasteful. We need to go back to the efficiency of open and free sharing that was necessary when resources were limited, to make sure we get the most out of the static public funding for science. We can no longer afford to pay for it twice.

A similar thing happened in the legal world with law reports. They were expensive to subscribe to, required a large library to house but it was necessary to have access to them to properly practice law.
Law reports survive for prestige reasons also. Some pretence of greater accuracy is made, but it . The bailee and austlii online projects mean collections of law reports are no longer necessary for the practice of law.
The Law reports may eventually be replaced by collections of links to cases regarded as significant by editorial committees - a blog.
If public money is spent on research, as it is spent on judgments, then that research should be publicly available. The funding body should insist on a licence to publish the research as a condition of the grant. Journals will then become largely a collection of links - a blog.

6jmendelssohnPosted Monday, 11 February 2013 at 5:07 pm | Permalink
One of the reasons why the scandal of restricted access (over priced) academic journals has been allowed to run so long is that universities, where the hierarchy wants to measure every output, can use a simple formula to assess the quality of an article in a restricted access peer-reviewed journal. There is no easy fail safe formula to measure the impact of open source research.
Academics need the metrics to move up the promotion food chain.

Well done Upulie and Adam. If original research and indeed new discoveries are available to only the privileged few, the iron law of oligarchy applies yet again. Only those privileged few can benefit. Aaron Swartz' suicide is symptomatic of the extremes those privileged few will go to to protect their status. The days of their sipping free publicly-funded nectar are over.
Tear down the paywalls and make the information available. After all, it's ours!

The Elsevier boycott remains active on the web site called 'The cost of knowledge'. Elsevier has moderated its position and behaviour, but not changed it radically.
All Australian universities have a digital repository in which many research papers are posted which are available for down load. The 'List of Australian university research repositories' is on the CAIRSS web site.
Most overseas universities active in research have a digital repository but often it is just as easy to donload paper's from author's personal or departmental web site.

So let's see; creating a quality journal, editing it, promoting it, organizing peer review, indexing it for search, hosting it on decent infrastructure with high availability and making it available for thousands of users around the world, as well as printing and distributing the hard copy, isn't worth anything?
This stuff doesn't just happen. Surely the company deserves to get some return on their investment.
10AndybobPosted Monday, 11 February 2013 at 10:50 pm | Permalink
@ Scott. My Crikey subscription seems a fair price for what we get. It would buy approximately two papers from Elsevier. Scientists often pay the costs of publication. I would pay something for the services you describe, but not the current extortionate prices.

It is arguably the foundation of western science, so what part of "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free" don't these profitable publishers understand?
Haunting academic libraries in search of information in the pre-internet "Olden Days" may have come at much personal expense in time but there was no parasitic connection to your bank account in order to capture said information.
Where does the "for the purposes of private study", of international copyright laws, enter into this payment system?
That was/is a free system which extends the knowledge and "freedom" base and now this freedom is restricted?
Shouldn't there be a law of Tort involved here which could punish these information monopolists for restricting individual access to knowledge and "Freedom"?
The medieval authorities had a similar attitude to Bible reading showing, with some relevance, that there are not, and have not been, many real disciples of the the author of the above freedom quote.
The present "enthusiasm" of non-scientific types is to re-embrace wild-eyed fundamentalism; well these information monopolists are according to the above arguments "infidels" and it is time for science to declare its own "Fatwa" these same "infidels" bent on removing our freedoms.
If there is going to be an atavistic return to religiosity let's do it properly, "ye shall know the truth" is not the same as "Ye shall hide the truth and only reveal it for a profit".
Whatever the latter religious prescripition is, it is not Christian. You shall know the truth.
The foundation of science.

Sincere thanks to the authors of this article - all the points raised have needed saying for soem time, and while there are signs of some change within the scientific community, the general public have little idea of the control some publishing houses exert.

14alex.rosserPosted Tuesday, 12 February 2013 at 2:08 pm | Permalink
In principle I agree with the above comments. But — - to bounce off Scott's comment, free open publishing brings in another cost, namely filtering out ratbag, copied, and other inappropriate articles. Who will pay for this? The universities? How?
Agreed, Elsivier has rorted the system,but is anarchy a better replacement?
15Posted Tuesday, 12 February 2013 at 2:25 pm | Permalink
Scholars already write, edit and referee papers without payment by publishers. That is, the publishers get all their high quality assured articles for free. In general the only stages that publishers pay for are advertising, publishing and distribution.
There are a number of refereed and edited open access avenues. Most if not all university repositories have varying types of quality control. There are numerous fully refereed open access journals.
16Diane LesterPosted Tuesday, 12 February 2013 at 2:29 pm | Permalink
It should be emphasized that restricting access to academic journals has direct consequences for the general public because they are the world's bank of medical and scientific knowledge.
To illustrate, a few years ago I became ill with celiac disease (CD) and was repeatedly misdiagnosed thus becoming far more ill. At the time I was working at a large university and could easily read medical journals. It soon became evident to me that the knowledge of my doctors, including specialists, was woefully outdated and they had not tested me for CD properly. After becoming informed through the journals I was able to find a doctor who understood my condition. Society would be far better off and technology more advanced if journals were accessible to everyone.
My article 'Unshackling basic knowledge' in Policy describes this problem in more detail.
17Adam DunnPosted Tuesday, 12 February 2013 at 5:29 pm | Permalink
jmendelssohn #6: Yes, I think that the need to immediately measure academic products like they are KPIs, as well as the publish-or-perish mentality has played a part in how easy it has been for publishers to make large profits of publicly-funded work.
Gavin Moodie #8: Thanks for pointing these things out
alex.rosser #14: I think we already have a giant mess of terrible journals and a few good journals. It makes finding good science more and more difficult every day. Here's an interesting view from medicine: http://www.plosmedicine.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pmed.1000326
At the end of the day, the ability to access science has been tied up by the publishers, who charge either the author or the reader to provide access, but also because academics are a little bit lazy when it comes to reading the self-archiving policies of the journals they choose/want to publish in. As it turns out, even the evil Elsevier has a default policy that says that authors can provide their original manuscript submissions online on their own websites for anyone to download. They routinely don't. If they did self-archive, and just avoided the most Draconian of journals (a small number), we wouldn't need to pay for anything.
So, for example, on my website, you'll see that I put all the pre-print or post-print versions of my papers online to download for free. And it's entirely legit.

Thanks Gavin Moodie for clarifying the process of scholarly publication. Many quality academic journals are the official publication of scholarly associations which also provide the body of readers as well as the editors, writers and peer reviewers. Once university presses took on publication and sometimes the associations themselves organised the work supported by universities. But sometime during the past couple of decades, the universities reduced funding and the established publishers took on the journals and the prices went up.
It isn't only scientific journals, by the way, but all academic journals: history, literature, linguistics, education, etc. All this at a time when the audit culture has intensified academic work and publication is increasingly seen as the only measure of 'doing the job'.
19Diane LesterPosted Wednesday, 13 February 2013 at 2:18 pm | Permalink
Putting research papers on one's website is not an answer to the problems of paywalls around the literature and in some ways make it worse because it cements the power of the publishers amassing their full text literature databases. The papers should be lodged in a proper repository (either through self archiving or a Gold Open Access journal) so they can be searched using modern information technology, located and preserved for the future. Creative Commons is by far the best arrangement because it makes the literature officially part of the 'commons' and this is what Aaron Schwartz helped developed. PLOS ONE uses CC and is now the largest journal in biomedicine with a profitable business model. Publishers deliberately carve their databases into time periods so that institutions must pay extra for the older literature and even large universities often can't afford older archives. I often wonder what researchers in 50 years time will think when they are unable to access and research papers written today!

There is a much bigger problem in providing results of scientific research to general public: jargon and what I call experts' tunnel vision.
The most of published peer-reviewed work is simply incomprehensible to the most of general public. In addition, the work is usually focused at minute details within a discipline without putting it into the context.
There is also a lack of expertise in journals outside of their focus. I was willing to pay for peer-review couple of times, only to be refused because my research touched upon more than one discipline. The latest refusal was by Nature Neuroscience Review editors who explicitly stated that they do not have expertise in cognitive psychology. So, I published my scholarly research article on my own:
While we are paying lip service to interdisciplinary approach, scientists (like lawyers) still have a steep learning curve to explain their research in a language digestible by general public.
Have a nice day,
