Most insulin-producing beta-cells in the fetal mouse pancreas arise during the secondary transition, a wave of differentiation starting at embryonic day 13. Here, we show that disruption of homeobox gene Nkx6.1 in mice leads to loss of beta-cell precursors and blocks beta-cell neogenesis specifically during the secondary transition. In contrast, islet development in Nkx6. 1/Nkx2.2 double mutant embryos is identical to Nkx2.2 single mutant islet development: beta-cell precursors survive but fail to differentiate into beta-cells throughout development. Together, these experiments reveal two independently controlled pathways for beta-cell differentiation, and place Nkx6.1 downstream of Nkx2.2 in the major pathway of beta-cell differentiation.

Diego de Rosales
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (May 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Diego de Rosales (Madrid, 1601 - Santiago de Chile, 1677) was a Spanish chronicler and author of Historia General del Reino de Chile.
He studied in his hometown, where he also joined the Society of Jesus. He came to Chile in the year 1629, without having taken his last vows still being sent to the residence that the Jesuits had in Arauco. He served as an Army chaplain in the Arauco War during the government of Don Francisco Laso de la Vega and in 1640 was ordained a priest in Santiago. During this time he acquired his knowledge of the language and customs of the Mapuche.
He was close to the governors Francisco López de Zúñiga and Martín de Mujica y Buitrón, accompanying them and participating in the parliaments held in 1641 and 1647 during the War of Arauco.
In 1650, the Governor Francisco Antonio de Acuña Cabrera y Bayona tasked him to conduct a journey to the Pehuenche tribes east of Villarica and later to Lake Nahuelhuapi. During the General Rising of the Mapuche in 1655 he was in Boroa, long besieged by the Mapuche until January of 1656, when it was abandoned. He was taken to Concepción and appointed rector of the Jesuit college in the city, where he stayed until 1662. He was then appointed superior of the Jesuit Province of Chile, having moved to Santiago. He held this office until 1666, and then assumed the rectorship of the Colegio Máximo of the order in the capital. He took up the direction of the Jesuits again between 1670 and 1672.
In 1674 he finished writing his Historia General del Reino de Chile. His first two books describe the geography, fauna, flora, and the life and customs of the natives. The second part deals with the history of the Kingdom from the arrival of Diego de Almagro until the General Rising of 1655. However it was not published until 1877 in Valparaiso, due to Benjamín Vicuña Mackenna, who acquired it in 1870 in London.
Diego de Rosales is also known to have written a chronicle about the Society of Jesus in Chile, which was called Conquista Espiritual del reino de Chile. It was a series of biographies of the main missionaries of the order, combined with the descriptions of their personalities with tales of miracles, appearances and all sorts of wonders common in the minds and documents of the time. Unfortunately, this manuscript has only survived in part.

"Mr. Bond, they have a saying in Chicago: 'Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action'." ―Ian Fleming, Goldfinger
In kindergarten, no one but Michael L. had actually seen a James Bond film. (Michael L., as opposed to Michaels A. and T., was very sophisticated, and his parents let him watch lots of movies.) But thanks to Michael L., we knew all about them: James Bond was a spy who wore a suit. He had girlfriends called Octopussy and Pussy Galore, presumably because he liked cats. He often said "Bond. James Bond," and sometimes "007: License to Kill." Armed with this information, we played James Bond every day at recess. Michael L. was always James Bond. My best friend was one of the cats; it varied. I was Moneypenny. Read More »
The Journey of the Dancing Triangle Man, and Other News

- Suspense, mystery, confusion, a certain contemplative je ne sais quoi … you can use ellipses for just about anything these days. Try ending your e-mails with them for a much-needed injection of professional ambiguity. And remember their roots: "Penny dreadful scribblers and yellow journalists adopted the mark wholeheartedly, entwining its brand with high melodrama, cheap commercialism, and camp … Adorno, noting the dots' prevalence in comic books and trashy romance, argued that a 'hack … must depend on typography to simulate … an infinitude of thoughts and associations, something [he] does not have' … Some ellipses feel hammy and overwrought. But others allude to charged material with superlative restraint (as in Fitzgerald or Joyce). They can be gently mysterious … They convey the endless rovings of consciousness."
- Today in rediscovered Expressionist dance costumes: there are these, which look to have come from a very forward-thinking children's sci-fi featurette. Two dancers from Hamburg, Lavinia Schulz and Walter Holdt, designed the costumes in the 1920s. "The dancers created twenty full-body costumes for performances between 1919 and 1924, all accompanied by avant-garde music, often composed by Hans Heinz Stuckenschmidt." In 1924, Schulz shot Holdt and then herself, thus ensuring that their avant-garde costumes were tainted with bad memories and left in storage for many decades.
- As the notion of the "bookless library" wends its way from cheap joke to reality, James Gleick asks: Whither the library? "The library has no future as yet another Internet node, but neither will it relax into retirement as an antiquarian warehouse. Until our digital souls depart our bodies for good and float away into the cloud, we retain part citizenship in the physical world, where we still need books, microfilm, diaries and letters, maps and manuscripts, and the experts who know how to find, organize, and share them … A transition to the digital can't mean shrugging off the worldly embodiments of knowledge, delicate manuscripts and fading photographs and old-fashioned books of paper and glue. To treat those as quaint objects of nostalgia is the technocrats' folly."
- The landscape painter Frederic Edwin Church lived in a mansion called Olana, which doubled as "a 3-D landscape artwork with more than five miles of carriage roads." But what of its craftsmanship? A tour of Olana leaves one with more questions than answers: "We would learn that what was strange about this window, which appeared to be stained glass, was that its diamond-patterned grille was sagging at the edges; it was made of paper. 'Church cared more about appearances than authenticity,' we were informed. From the hall we filed into a narrow private study, where the walls were bordered with a script I thought was Arabic, but when I asked its meaning, I was told that it was nonsense Church invented, because he liked the way it looked … There was an empty easel with a palette; shelves of art supplies; a painting by the artist's mentor, dim; a case of carved-stone artifacts collected on a trip to South America. 'Some of those objects are authentic, others made for tourists,' said the guide. 'Church didn't care.' "
- Most people went to Studio 54 and the Paradise Garage to dance. Bill Bernstein went to take pictures. His work stands as a vibrant document of the disco era, which he remembers for its inclusiveness: "On a typical night of shooting, Bernstein would arrive at a club at around eleven p.m. or midnight, never drinking, just wandering the dance floor and lounge areas looking for interesting subjects. 'I would just sort of try to keep my eyes open, and stay there until I felt like I couldn't do any more, or I was exhausted,' he says. 'The speakers were gigantic and the room would vibrate. Between the room vibrating with the noise and the lighting, which was constantly flickering and moving, after about four hours, I was drained.' "

A young friend recently asked me if I had an old graduation gown she could wear for a third-grade play in which she was playing a Supreme Court Justice. I keep many of my old things and have a pretty decent dress-up chest at this point; I've helped with costumes before. But this time, I had to tell her I didn't.
You see, the morning of my college graduation, in Chicago, I was running late. I snatched what I thought was my gown from the closet—only to arrive at the gymnasium and discover that in my haste I'd grabbed my roommate's black rain slicker. Read More »
Drunk in Love

Sixty-four years later, The Tales of Hoffmann continues to delight and perplex.
Lovers of the recherché have flocked to see Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's 1951 Tales of Hoffmann at Film Forum, where it's still showing for one more day. In a newly restored print, the film's fantastical mise-en-scène and extravagant polychrome glory assault viewers head on for a hundred and thirty-three minutes. At each screening, Martin Scorsese introduces Hoffmann in a videotaped homily, during which he confesses to an "obsession" with the film, having first fallen for it, strangely enough, when it aired in black-and-white on Million Dollar Movie. Most critics rave or rant, or both, about this odd work. The amiable William Germano, the author of a smart, slim volume about the film for the British Film Institute, spoke at the screening I attended, and his was one of the more measured, sanguine appreciations: "Whatever Hoffmann was, there had never been a cinematic creation quite like this one."

The Physics of Movement: An Interview with Santo Richard Loquasto
February 24, 2014 | by Yona Zeldis McDonough
Santo Richard Loquasto has a big, easy smile, and an infectious enthusiasm for his work. Since his first production—Sticks and Bones, in 1972—he's worked on some sixty-one Broadway productions, either as a scenic or costume designer, and often as both. His cunning sets and fanciful costumes have garnered him fifteen Tony Award nominations (he's won three times), and he's also won numerous Drama Desk Set Awards for Outstanding Set Design and Outstanding Costume Design. Loquasto is also known for his work in film—most notably with Woody Allen, with whom he's worked for decades, most recently on Blue Jasmine. One afternoon last summer we met at the Margot Patisserie on the Upper West Side, where Loquasto talked about how he got his start, the demands of designing for dancers, and the downsides of his job.
What got you into costume design?
Well, it just always interested me as a kid. I grew up in Pennsylvania. Mine is the classic story of a teenager in the Poconos, painting summer-stock scenery because that's what you do there. What I was really interested in was scenery and visuals. I was always creating the mise-en-scène in my backyard. The costumes were always part of it. I was interested in the scenery because in many ways it's … well, I can't say it's more manageable, but it is, of course, because you don't have to deal with people quite in the same way. People think of me as a costume designer, but in New York, the first things I did were scenery. I did a Sam Shepard one-act play off Broadway in 1970, and then worked for Joe Papp for many years. By that time, I was in grad school at Yale, concentrating on both scenery and costumes. I was designing costumes at Williamstown. When you don't sew, you're somewhat intimidated by that aspect of it. You're lucky if you get to work with amazing people who make the costumes for you and with you.
I just raced from this little shop, Euroco Costumes, where I have the costumes designed for most of my dance projects. It's two people, Janet Bloor and Werner Kulovitz. She's brilliant at the stretch issues, and he is an amazing costume-maker of the grand school. Beautiful period cutting. I've only known him for about thirty years. You rely on the shorthand that develops between you and also what they bring to it, which is not only their expertise but also their passion. It's very interesting—normally people who make costumes, who deal with the horrible deadlines and the issues of comfort and the egos of the performers, get sick of it. But I see them get excited by new projects and it's exhilarating for all of us.
Can you talk to me about designing for Alexei Ratmansky's The Tempest?
The Tempest you can approach in any number of ways, like most Shakespeare. I did a lot of Shakespeare in the Park in the seventies, both scenery and costumes, and for ten years, I worked in Stratford, Ontario, at the Shakespeare festival. I didn't do The Tempest there, but I've dealt with the play. It was interesting to work with Ratmansky. For him, working on The Tempest is not like, say, Romeo and Juliet, which is so much more of a ballet vocabulary, both because of the great score, which so guides you, and because of his ballet background. Also, everyone knows the story so well. Whereas with our production of The Tempest, there is this much looser Sibelius score.
I follow the play, and I think you have to start there. As an interpreter, you have to follow the progression as Shakespeare laid it out, with your own understanding of where the words aren't applicable to movement. You understand when Ferdinand and Miranda fall in love. You know what to do. There's anger and rage and comedy. There was a debate at one point about losing the clowns, Trinculo and Stephano. I quietly fought to keep them. I said, their relationship to Caliban makes for a wonderful scene, and those things are in the structure to give us a breather, so it's not just this man railing against everything.Read More »

It's nice to have a single guy here who gets it! BTW, Starbucks is our meeting place of choice too. We used to do lunches/dinners, but after a few of those that seemed to go on forever with people we had no attraction to whatsoever, coffee or drinks is all we'll do now for the first meet.

With public-sector budgets under greater pressure and scrutiny than ever, having the ability to fine-tune services and to deliver them where they're needed most is becoming increasingly important. Social media gives city authorities this opportunity, tapping into public sentiment in real time – albeit only that portion of the public using social media and in a raw form.
Crucially, it's not just a case of passively watching and listening to what citizens are saying. The social web also makes it possible to reach out in new ways. Social networks mean local government can carry out surveys – and publicise them – at relatively low cost. Insights gained in this way not only represent a significant cash saving; they can also be carried out more rapidly than traditional opinion polls, with no paper processing delays and no risk of data transcription errors.
The use of social media also opens up potential for enhanced cross-departmental collaboration within councils. Local government is a major employer: for example, Merton London Borough Council employs upwards of 5,000 people, as does Brent Council, while Birmingham City Council is the largest local authority in Europe, employing 60,000 people – the same size as a multinational company. Tapping into that resource makes sense and can unlock real value, with crowdsourcing creating synergies that would otherwise be lost.
Perhaps the most important aspect of social media, though, is the potential it has to open up public participation. Social media has a decisive role to play in motivating and empowering citizens, as well as increasing engagement with the third sector, which includes charities, voluntary groups and not-for-profit organisations.
As the Coventry project reveals, the online environment can be "sticky", with users tending to spend longer perusing material than they might in an equivalent paper-based exercise. CovJam participants each spent an average of two and a half hours online.
CovJam underlines the extent to which social media and new technology can help to improve the agility of local authorities, with complex public consultations made far more manageable and granular than an equivalent approach based on filling in paper forms. Web-based technologies also have the potential to revolutionise routine public interactions. Research carried out by the Society of Information Technology Management in 2010 reveals the scope of potential savings. At only 27 pence, the cost of a customer service interaction on the web is nearly 11 times cheaper than a phone transaction and nearly 25 times less expensive than an equivalent face-to-face meeting.
This does not mean that governments should slash all paperbased services in favour of digital – such a move risks creating a digital divide and excluding those without access to the internet. By offering more digital channels, however, service can be improved and the public feels it has even more options.

Beach wagons by Valley Road Amish Wagons and Speedway Express Amish Wagons offer a classic and charming solution to carrying kids and beach gear over sand.
Beach Wagon accessories include wagon sun canopies, wagon seats, wagon trailers and a cooler rack to keep your cooler up out of the sand.
If you are not sure which wagon to get how many wheels to get, see Tires and Load Capacity for information about how much weight per tire can be floated over various types of sand. The Speedway 870 to the right can fit a half dozen kids under the 58" sun top! (Customer photo used with permission.)
Plastic beach wagons are now available! Valley Road wagons can be ordered with poly plastic beds and wood racks. Hochstetler's shop now makes a beach wagon with a plastic bed and plastic racks in ten colors. Unlike most plastic beach wagons on the market, these beach wagons combine the water resistance of plastic with the charm and quality of Amish crafting.

NASHVILLE, TN (October 27, 2015) -- Ranked as the #1 "Thing To Do" in Nashville by Trip Advisor, Ryman Auditorium is the ultimate destination for music lovers both by day and night. Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (NYSE: RHP), owner of the Ryman, Nashville's iconic National Historic Landmark and world-renowned performance venue, unveiled its $14 million Ryman Auditorium expansion and renovation last summer. The significant improvements enhance the experience for both daytime museum visitors and nighttime concert attendees while also continuing to celebrate and preserve the rich history of the beloved building.
At the heart of the expansion is the new daytime tour attraction, which begins with a state-of-the-art theater experience titled "Soul of Nashville" as well as five new exhibits.
"To say there is no other place like the Ryman is an understatement," says Sally Williams, Ryman Auditorium general manager. "The story of this building is so powerful and emotional— we needed an extraordinary way to take visitors on our nearly 125-year journey. The 'Soul of Nashville' and our new exhibits do that job beautifully."
Soul of Nashville Tour Experience
"Soul of Nashville" kicks off the reimagined Ryman daytime tour experience in an innovative, one-of-a-kind 100-seat theater custom built for the show. Created by BRC Imagination Arts of California, "Soul of Nashville" utilizes cutting edge technology to surround the audience with moving images on multiple projector planes and sound that engulfs the senses and puts them in the center of the show. Through special effects, archival images and footage, performers from the Ryman's past become multidimensional right before the viewer's eyes. The show dives into the Ryman's fascinating history as more than a century of legendary performances come to life on all sides of the room. The dramatic story of the building's near demolition and rebirth climaxes with a new collaboration featuring Darius Rucker, The Fisk Jubilee Singers, Sheryl Crow and Vince Gill. By design, this experience makes an emotional connection with the audience who will then exit the theater and begin the rest of their tour experience.
"Soul of Nashville" is hosted by a virtual Lula C. Naff, the Ryman's longtime promoter and manager (1904-1955). A remarkable woman not widely known today, Naff's business and booking savvy garnered prestige for both Ryman Auditorium and the city of Nashville as a performance arts center for the region. Hailed as the "first lady" of theater management, she brought the greatest performers and Broadway plays of the day to the Ryman including: Bob Hope, Charlie Chaplin, Enrico Caruso, Harry Houdini, Katharine Hepburn, Mae West, Ziegfeld Follies, "Guys and Dolls," "Oklahoma!" and many more. Naff also ushered the Grand Ole Opry into the Ryman in 1943, where the show resided until 1974. Under her leadership, the Ryman became a showplace for great diversity, a tradition that continues today. She was also a trailblazer for working women, branching out on her own before women even had the right to vote.
Watch a "Soul of Nashville" teaser here.
Visitors can enjoy five all-new exhibits inside the famed auditorium: "Workin' on a Building," "Showplace of the South," "Mother Church of Country Music," "Ryman Stage to Screen" and "Ryman Renaissance." Guests will see genuine artifacts and enjoy videos with hosts Charles Esten, Marty Stuart, Nicole Kidman, Ricky Skaggs, Robin Roberts and Trisha Yearwood taking them through each chapter of the Ryman's illustrious history.
New Exhibits
"Workin' on a Building"
Video host Trisha Yearwood tells of the famed meeting between Thomas Green Ryman and Samuel Porter Jones, and the inspiration that led to the construction of one of the nation's grandest tabernacles. On display are artifacts documenting Ryman's life, construction of the building and events that took place during the early years of the Union Gospel Tabernacle.
"Showplace of the South"
Most know of the Grand Ole Opry's time in the Ryman, but some may not be aware of the performances that graced the stage long before the radio show arrived. Video host Nicole Kidman shares the fascinating story of the Ryman's transition from a revival hall into a premier performing arts venue. At the forefront was longtime manager Lula C. Naff.
"Mother Church of Country Music"
The Ryman acquired a new identity when a soon-to-be world-famous radio program found itself in search of a new home. The Ryman's new tenant brought a whole new fan base into the pews when they began broadcasting their clear-channel signal coast to coast from the stage of the old "Mother Church." Hear firsthand accounts from Opry members Marty Stuart and Ricky Skaggs as they host the exhibit video, enjoy rare performance footage and see stage costumes and instruments on display.
"Ryman Stage to Screen"
Many remember hearing the sounds of the Opry resonating over the airwaves but do not realize how many times the Ryman has appeared on the big screen. Visitors will see clips from the concert tapings, television episodes and major motion pictures that have used the Ryman as their setting during a video hosted by Charles Esten. From "Coal Miner's Daughter" to television's "Nashville," "Honkytonk Man" to "American Idol," the Ryman has served as an important backdrop for many filmmaking projects over the years.
"Ryman Renaissance"
The last stop on the tour is an exhibit dedicated to the ongoing legacy of the Ryman. Video host Robin Roberts shares recent Ryman history and relates the importance of its continued tradition. Today, the Ryman hosts 200-250 events annually, and, just like the generations of the past, people sit in the same wooden pews to see the greats of their day perform and breathe new life into the room.
As part of the renovation, the Ryman has doubled the size of its gift shop. The new store offers exclusive Ryman-branded items as well as an activity station where visitors can make their own custom t-shirts and posters and listen to music before they purchase. Users also have the opportunity to shop the Ryman e-commerce site at the activity station. The gift shop is open seven days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Daytime Tour Hours & Pricing
The Ryman is open for tours seven days a week (closing only for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day) 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Self-guided tours (including "Soul of Nashville") are $20 for adults and $15 for children ages 4-11. Backstage tours (including "Soul of Nashville") are $27.50 for adults and $22.50 for children ages 4-11. Tickets can be purchased online at http://ryman.com/tours, at the Ryman box office or by calling 615-889-3060. Group rates are available for parties of 15 or more; please contact group sales 615-871-5043.
Cafe Lula
In another nod to Lula Naff, a restaurant has been added bearing her name, Cafe Lula. With floor-to-ceiling glass windows on three sides and a covered patio, the cafe, located just outside the Ryman's main entrance, caters to daytime tour visitors, nighttime concert-goers, downtown office workers and residents alike.
Cafe Lula is open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with extended hours during Ryman evening events. Serving Springer Mountain Farms chicken, the menu features fresh, healthy fare with an emphasis on rotisserie cooking and locally-sourced ingredients available for both dine-in and grab-and-go service.
In addition to the enhanced daytime tour experience, the $14 million renovation also features several improvements that significally benefit nighttime concert-goers. These upgrades include enhanced food and beverage services throughout the building, an expanded box office, additional restroom facilities and larger lobbies.
Hosting over 200 events and concerts a year, the Ryman was named the Pollstar's 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 Theatre of the Year, an award voted on by peers and widely regarded as the most prestigious in the concert industry. The venue is currently ranked twelfth in the world and sixth domestically based on year-to-date tickets sales in the Pollstar Theatre category. Other awards include Venue of the Year nods from both the Academy of Country Music, the International Entertainment Buyers Association and SRO Venue of the Year presented by CMA. Concert highlights for 2015 include The Beach Boys, Dave Chappelle, Damien Rice, Diana Ross, Dolly Parton, Hozier, Kacey Musgraves, Kraftwerk, Ryan Adams, Twenty One Pilots and Willie Nelson.
What brings performers to the Ryman Auditorium today is what attracted so many great entertainers throughout its history. The beauty of a well-seasoned performance hall, like that of a fine vintage instrument, cannot be reproduced. The Ryman's acoustics, built to project the voice of Sam Jones so long ago, are among the finest in the world. Today, the Ryman remains true to its diverse entertainment legacy, hosting concerts of all genres by a new generation of entertainers for a new generation of audiences.

?We?ve been planning for over two years now,? Bill McConnell, the Director of Event Operations for the NFL told television station KTVT. ?And our teams have been working closely with the cowboys and with the stadium staff. Of course it intensifies as the calender gets closer.?
Folks taking hourly tours of the stadium are getting a first glance at many of the changes. The endzones that normally featuring Cowboys logos now feature the colors black and gold along with yellow and green.
In addition to transforming Cowboys Stadium, a crew of 28 artists from the NFL will spray logos on the two practice fields at SMU and TCU. The crew will also do artwork at the NFL Experience in Dallas.
Some 2,000 people are working around the clock to add decorations, hang lights and run wiring for the game, pregame, halftime and post-game shows, according to KTVT.
Additionally, crews are putting in as many seats as possible.
?There?s about 15,000 extra seats we were able to put in place here and things we were able to do with the rails and the bowl seating,? Cowboys Stadium spokesman Brett Daniels told KTVT. ?We?re going to try to get as many people in to see the Super Bowl as we can.?

Oh, Koji—will you ever not be the sunshine that heralds the day?
The Japanese closer is many things, but a fan of the thick facial hair Boston players grow out in the fall he is not—or at least he said as much in a recent interview.
After winning the World Series, the Red Sox released a DVD chronicling their trip to the championship. In the closing credits of the documentary, Boston players were asked to rate and rank the best playoff beards on the team.
While most of the team couldn't stop gabbing about their lustrous facial hair, the clean-shaven Koji Uehara wasn't a big fan.
When asked who he believed had the best beard on the team, the 38-year-old closer dropped a wonderful quote, which was spotted by Mike Cardillo of The Big Lead (h/t Pete Blackburn of Next Impulse Sports).
"I think it's just nasty to grow a beard that long," Uehara admitted.
Screenshot via MLB.com
Cue the sound of a record skipping.
Yep, while the rest of the team reveled in the hirsute glory growing from their chins, Uehara wasn't exactly greening with envy. Rather, he was greening with nausea.
On another note, if you are a fan of Boston's playoff beards (a really big fan of the beards) you can always make a bid to own some of it.
That's right—pieces of beards trimmed off of David Ortiz and Shane Victorino are currently up for auction. The auction is being held by Gillette, and all proceeds will go to benefit Movember—a men's health charity.
Something tells me that Uehara won't end up the high bidder on those beard trimmings. Mike Napoli, on the other hand—well, he might buy them just to keep his beard fed.

NBFF Recommendation of the Day: Five Summer Stories
A surfer girl in Five Summer Stories. Notice the lack of dye, tats and piercings.
MacGillivray Freeman Films
Heralded as one of the greatest surfing films of all time, Greg MacGillivray and Jim Freeman's laid back Five Summer Stories is not really a collection of five summer stories but a cinematic time capsule of the surfing sights and sounds of the early 1970s. It gets a nostalgic screening with a panel discussion at the Newport Beach Film Festival today in honor of 50 years of MacGillivray Freeman Films of Laguna Beach.
Indeed, I can think of no recent film (American Hustle included) that so quickly teleports one back to the days of Hang Ten shirts, mismatched bikinis and Mr. Zog's Original Sex Wax. All that's missing while viewing is the warm smell of Coppertone and colitas rising up through the air.
The original movie poster
Illustration by Rick Griffin
Five Summer Stories had its world premiere at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in 1972, and a huge catalyst for the time tripping are the included songs by the likes of the Beach Boys, whose "Feel Flows" opens with bars that sound as if they were lifted from the Beatles' "I Am the Walrus" of five years before, and Honk, who to Orange Countians were as big as at least the Beach Boys if not the Beatles back in the day.
Unlike the surf flicks of more recent times that are amped up by punk and hardcore, Five Summer Stories mirrors the mellow times with Honk's Joni Mitchellesque "Circles in Sand" set against slo-mo images of surfers gliding through North Shore barrels, wahines walking along the strand and keikis playing in the sand. Hearing news reports from that fractured time in America layered over the wholesome beach shots shows a whole segment of society that had tuned out if not dropped out.

This was the beginning of surf porn--and, thanks to one segment, skateboard porn--as the names of wave riders like Gerry Lopez, Shaun Tomson and, Corky Carroll quickly flash on the screen before their sets. Their styles look so much more graceful and less aggro than what you see out in the water today.
What lifts this screening even more is the panel discussion afterward on the film's impact that is scheduled to include MacGillivray, Lopez, Laird Hamilton, Herbie Fletcher, Steve Pezman and Peter Townend. (5 p.m. at South Coast Village in Santa Ana; previous NBFF listings had it at 5:30 p.m. at Fashion Island Cinemas)
P.S. This is the first of two nights at the NBFF marking the 50th anniversary of MacGillivray Freeman Films: on Wednesday, MacGillivray leads a multi-media retrospective presentation featuring his most memorable filmmaking expeditions, which have included up the tallest mountains and into the coldest climes and deep blue sea. The Los Angeles Times' John Horn moderates. Then comes a screening of the large-format filmmaker's latest, Journey to the South Pacific, which is about a young island boy's adventures amid the islands of West Papua. (7:30 p.m. at the Lido)

The dramatic collapse in world trade in 2009 is, this report shows, mainly due to: the drop in demand for highly traded products; the drying up of trade finance; and the vertically integrated nature of global supply chains. Contrary to expectations, protectionist measures were relatively muted and did not play a significant part. In fact, because of their sheer size, stimulus measures may have had more impact on trade than direct trade policy measures Nevertheless, dollar for dollar, direct trade restricting measures have the most strongly negative impacts on growth and employment: a one dollar increase in tariff revenues results in a USD 2.16 drop in world exports and a USD 0.73 drop in world income.
The analyses presented here suggest that exit strategies from measures to deal with the crisis will be most effective in boosting growth and jobs if they first roll back measures that discriminate between domestic and foreign firms and those that target specific sectors. General demand stimulus measures and active labour market policies are preferable under current conditions.
The OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations provide guidance on the application of the "arm's length principle", which is the international consensus on transfer pricing, i.e. on the valuation, for tax purposes, of cross-border transactions between associated enterprises. In a global economy where multinational enterprises (MNEs) play a prominent role, transfer pricing is high on the agenda of tax administrators and taxpayers alike. Governments need to ensure that the taxable profits of MNEs are not artificially shifted out of their jurisdictions and that the tax base reported by MNEs in their respective countries reflect the economic activity undertaken therein. For taxpayers, it is essential to limit the risks of economic double taxation that may result from a dispute between two countries on the determination of an arm's length remuneration for their cross-border transactions with associated enterprises.
After having been originally published in 1979, the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines were approved by the OECD Council in their original version in 1995. A limited update was made in 2009, primarily to reflect the adoption, in the 2008 update of the Model Tax Convention, of a new paragraph 5 of Article 25 dealing with arbitration, and of changes to the Commentary on Article 25 on mutual agreement procedures to resolve cross-border tax disputes. In the 2010 edition, Chapters I-III were substantially revised, with new guidance on: the selection of the most appropriate transfer pricing method to the circumstances of the case; the practical application of transactional profit methods (transactional net margin method and profit split method); and on the performance of comparability analyses. Furthermore, a new Chapter IX, on the transfer pricing aspects of business restructurings, was added. Consistency changes were made to the rest of the Guidelines.

The rapid growth of entrepreneurship and small firms has been one of the greatest successes in post-Communist transformation in Poland. SMEs have greatly contributed to employment, investment and value added in the Polish economy. However, key barriers to further growth remain in the business environment for SMEs and entrepreneurs. This book sets out the current SME and entrepreneurship climate, reviews SME and entrepreneurship issues and policies at national and local levels, and provides observations and recommendations for improving and supporting entrepreneurship and SMEs in Poland.
The markets for goods and services have undergone significant changes over the past 20 years. Regulatory reform, global markets, new technologies and growth in the role of services in economic activity have driven the changes which, in many instances, have provided significant benefits to consumers. Relatively little attention has been paid to the challenges these developments have posed for consumers. More choice and more complexity in many markets have made it increasingly difficult for them to compare and assess the value of products and services. The challenges for consumers have raised similar challenges for the government authorities responsible for protecting them from unfair commercial practices and fraud.
This book examines how markets have evolved and provides insights for improved consumer policy making. It explores, for the first time, how what we have learned through the study of behavioural economics is changing the way policy makers are addressing problems.

G20 Leaders have committed to forego protectionism and have requested public reports on their adherence to this commitment. This third joint report by OECD, UNCTAD and WTO on G20 trade and investment measures covers the period from 1 November 2009 until mid-May 2010.

Measuring Innovation: A New Perspective presents new measures and new ways of looking at traditional indicators. It builds on 50 years of indicator development by OECD and goes beyond R&D to describe the broader context in which innovation occurs. It includes some experimental indicators that provide insight into new areas of policy interest. It highlights measurement gaps and proposes directions for advancing the measurement agenda.
This publication begins by describing innovation today. It looks at what is driving innovation in firms, and how the scientific and research landscape is being reconfigured by convergence, interdisciplinarity and the new geography of innovation hot spots. It presents broader measures of innovation, for example using new indicators of investment in intangible assets and trademarks.
Human capital is the basic input of innovation, and a series of indicators looks at how well education systems are contributing to the knowledge and research bases. Further series examine how firms transform skills and knowledge, and shed light on the different roles of public and private investment in fostering innovation and reaping its rewards, with concrete examples from major global challenges such as health and climate change.
Measuring Innovation is a major step towards evidence-based innovation policy making. It complements traditional "positioning"-type indicators with ones that show how innovation is, or could be, linked to policy. It also recognises that much more remains to be done, and points to the measurement challenges statisticians, researchers and policy makers alike need to address.
Small firms are playing an ever-increasing role in innovation, driven by changes in technologies and markets. Some spin-offs and high growth firms are having remarkable success. However, the broad bulk of small firms are not capitalising on their advantages. This book explores how government policy can boost innovation by improving the environment for entrepreneurship and small firm development and increasing the innovative capacities of enterprises. Policy findings and recommendations are presented in three key areas: embedding firms in knowledge flows; developing entrepreneurship skills; and social entrepreneurship. In addition, country notes present statistics and policy data on SMEs, entrepreneurship and innovation for 40 economies, including OECD countries, Brazil, China, Estonia, Indonesia, Israel, the Russian Federation, Slovenia and South Africa.
SMEs, Entrepreneurship and Innovation is part of the OECD Innovation Strategy, a comprehensive policy strategy to harness innovation for stronger and more sustainable growth and development, and to address the key global challenges of the 21st century. For more information about the OECD Innovation Strategy, see www.oecd.org/innovation/strategy.

2013 and image sizes Edit
On the question of how to handle the stories of 2013, it was decided in Thread:146860 that we would create a page that was more or less imitative of Doctor Who (2013 specials, with primary emphasis given to the four televised stories of that year, secondary mention of non-stories (documentaries + Adventures in Space and Time) that appeared on television, and only passing reference to the other, non-broadcast material of that year, such as The Light at the End.
In other words, the page is still primarily a "season" page in nature, so that the prev/next flow from 7 to 8 is logically bridged by a page that is still mostly about television.
Please get with SmallerOnTheOutside, as he was one of the people chiefly interested in this plan. Don't worry; you won't be "calling him blind". We've talked about this within the last week!
I also have a note from other users about your recent picture uploads. You probably just forgot, but please remember that file sizes are supposed to be less than 100 kb. Several of yours have tripped alarms recently, including the near-1mb File:Dream a Little Dream for Me DWY93.jpg. Please be kind to our mobile users and guests on slower internet connections around the world!
Thanks for all your hard work around here!

Done, buddy. I'd never heard of those two, it was an interesting read. Thanks! --Revan\Talk 12:21, August 28, 2015 (UTC)
Hello Edit
You know I'm never going to catch up to you in the Game of Rassilon if you keep editting like crazy. :) Seriously, though, thanks for all the work you've done on the site. Hope you have a nice rest of the weekend. Bonjour, mon frere. :) ----Ebyabe (talk) 23:53, August 29, 2015 (UTC)
- Oh, forgot to mention, really like your scarf. But I bet mine's longer than yours. ;) ----Ebyabe (talk) 23:56, August 29, 2015 (UTC)
Preludes Edit
I'm not going to do Prelude Parasite because I think the character might be someone special, but I can't figure exactly. See Talk:Prelude Parasite (short story) as to my reasoning. Cheers! :) ----Ebyabe (talk) 03:34, September 7, 2015 (UTC)
Titan backup comics Edit
Thanks for the heads up. Due to some computer issues, I've been off the wiki for a bit, but I'm back now and I've put in my two cents. P&P talk contribs 16:36, September 8, 2015 (UTC)
Your DWM sandbox Edit
Hey! I was going through and checking some of the redlinks. Discovered a few could use disambiguation. I did so, but was reminded it's not good to edit other's sandboxes. I reset back the way it was. Apologies if it messed anything up. Anyway, cheers, and new Who this weekend. Woo-who! :) ----Ebyabe (talk) 02:16, September 19, 2015 (UTC)
Locking pages Edit
Generally, with regards to testing, you'd probably be right that it would be better to work with a sandbox.
But Martha and Eight had peculiar features it was necessary to share with other staff members, in order to make broader improvements in the new portable infobox code (Help:PortableInfoboxes if you've missed the announcements.)
Crucially - and this isn't a particularly well-known point — it's better for testing if you pick pages that are in the main namespace, because our mobile skin works differently there than it does on a subpage of a user page. Since we were actively testing the way the infoboxes were looking on mobile, I made the decision to freeze these two pages, as they both exhibited qualities we were eager to examine as a team. Also, neither character is particularly time-critical, as new stories with them are only being released comparatively slowly.
Still, the tests with Eight are done now, so I'll open him back up. But Martha will need to stay locked for a bit longer.

Question for you Edit
Hi! I noticed that in your edit summary for The Magician's Apprentice (TV story) you say: "The profile pic should not be from the preview of the next episode. Which is what that was I'm afraid." Is the picture of Twelve with a gun (that SecondMonster uploaded) from the preview and not the episode itself? Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 18:53, September 20, 2015 (UTC)
- I am sorry to burst that bubble. But if you take a look at the very end of The Magician's Apprentice, this picture is actually taken from the this episode. --DCLM ☎ 19:02, September 20, 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, it is indeed. Yet the bit at the end is still meant to tease the next episode. A bit of "Ooh, look at this? What's happening here? Find out next week!" Not trying to give away spoilers, but if you watch the trailer it's clear the next episode is going to explain the clip and have scenes set before it. Thus it's basically a clip from the next episode put at the end of this episode as a tease. Thus, by definition, it is not an accurate representation of the episode. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 19:18, September 20, 2015 (UTC)
- Anything from the broadcast episode is a part of the released episode, even if it is at the very last seconds of the released episode. Therefore it is not wrong to use that image in the infobox. And technically all cliffhangers are teasers for the next episode, but anything from the given released episode is available for use. --DCLM ☎ 19:39, September 20, 2015 (UTC)
- However, OttselSpy25 is absolutely correct that this image is not representative of the current episode. Therefore it will not be used as an infobox image for The Magician's Apprentice (TV story). Shambala108 ☎ 19:41, September 20, 2015 (UTC)

- I'm not trying to patronize you, I'm just stating that it is not wrong to have this image, even if the same scene is to appear in the next episode. I do agree that this image isn't representative though... I'm just saying that it's not wrong to have it. I didn't intend to patronize. --DCLM ☎ 19:50, September 20, 2015 (UTC)
- The fact that it wasn't main infobox worthy is all I was saying. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 19:52, September 20, 2015 (UTC)
Re: The Master list of appearances Edit
Done. (Forgot about that one.) Let me know if it doesn't work. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 22:31, September 22, 2015 (UTC)
The Master Edit
Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I had to archive the talk page for The Master, because it was getting very long and I'm sure it will be getting longer during the current series. However, I did add your discussion on the OOU templates to the current page on the talk page, since it's a new discussion and I didn't want it hidden on the archived page. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 00:26, September 28, 2015 (UTC)
Images Edit
Hi OS25, I know, that you are not the only person, but I wanted to know why my images are keep getting deleted. Is there some policy wich I dont have read? I've licensed it, I've added category's and it was the right size! Please let my know if I overlooked something.

Re: companion templates Edit
Hi! I'll get onto it later tonight, unless I forget (which happens way too often), so if you don't see changes in the next couple of days, just yell. Shambala108 ☎ 20:27, September 29, 2015 (UTC)
- Ok, done, took less time than I anticipated. Do me a favor and check to see if I got them all where and how you wanted. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 22:55, September 29, 2015 (UTC)
- Ok, on the second try:
- I'm going by the lead paragraph for A Rose by Any Other Name (comic story), which uses the word "stories", so put them in multiple stories.
- I updated the templates for Six and Seven, and thanks for providing the coding. Sometimes that nested stuff gives me a headache. You should probably check it to make sure I did it right.
- ARC was just an error on my part. I specifically checked his page and saw multiple stories, and somehow managed to place him in single story anyway.

Masters Edit
Hello, you. I thought it was clear via the art context that Roberts took place during the movie, as he is wearing Bruce's clothes instead of keeping his hood on, In fact, unlike the others, he removes his robes completely to showcase his clothing. Thus, it came across as the artist confirming a placement; that it had to happen when the Master was alone and wearing Bruce's jacket and shades.
As for the Side conundrum, it's mentioned that the Side captured all the Masters, hence why I added the information to every incarnation. Hope that cleared that all up.BananaClownMan ☎ 22:56, October 2, 2015 (UTC)
The Arts in Space - Quark/Ice Warrior Edit
I wrote much of the article. Sure, they "appear" - as a drawing in like 2 panels. Which surely doesn't constitute it as an "Ice Warrior comic story", does it? Notsimonpegg ☎ 16:16, October 17, 2015 (UTC)
Recent imageEdit
I would just say, before you say anything that when I clicked that picture you added, it led to an "error" and the infobox was blank. So apologies for saying it didn't exist. --DCLM ☎ 01:03, October 18, 2015 (UTC)
Thanks! Edit
Thanks for trimming out the done characters at Tardis:List of unwritten BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures characters. I try to remember, but when I get on an article creation roll, it sometimes slips the mind. Only about 360 to go on that list, then I can get going on Tardis:List of unwritten BBC Past Doctor Adventures characters. Cheers! :) ----Ebyabe (talk) 20:25, October 27, 2015 (UTC)
- It's fun turning redlinks to blue. :) I vaguely recall something about not using the character stub tag, but I can't remember where. I know I was doing it when I started. I'll go back to doing that. If it's not something we're doing anymore, I'm sure someone will tell me. Cheers! :) ----Ebyabe (talk) 20:38, October 27, 2015 (UTC)
Redundant Categories Edit
Please refrain from adding redundant categories, such as "Doctor Who directors" for people who are "Doctor Who assistant directors". Redundant categories create what's called recursion and that confuses bots.MystExplorer ☎ 15:18, October 28, 2015 (UTC)
I didn't know the directors category was part of the Game of Rassilon because the game's template is NOT on the category page.MystExplorer ☎ 20:13, October 28, 2015 (UTC)
LEGO Dimensions closure Edit
This discussion was opened in July. By any reasonable measure it was given more than sufficient time to breathe and find something that made it materially different from previous discussions. When it became clear, largely by your own contributions to the discussion, that there were elements of the gameplay that could be done differently by different people, it was then rational to assert that this game was materially similar to any other "choose your adventure" format. As you know from other conversations which you've attended, such formats have long been outlawed.
In other words, my closure of the discussion was in strict compliance with T:POINT, which specifically says:
- Don't waste other editors' time by opening up discussions that are materially the same as other, concluded discussions. You may open up discussions on matters that have already been decided only when you have arguments which have not formed a part of that discussion, or other, precedent discussions on the same topic.
Dimensions offers nothing new under the sun, in my view. Like most other video games, Sally can play it differently to Jimmy. It doesn't matter how fractional that difference is. It would be impossible to administer this ban on "choose your own adventure"-ness explicitly expressed by T:VS if we had to define a degree of choice. No, if two people can play it differently, to any degree, then it's disallowed, because the copyright holders to Doctor Who give us no way to know which is the "proper" version of events.
It is not evidence of meanness or elitism or even lack of understanding of game mechanics that this decision has been made.
In the first place, there's a perfectly good wiki covering Dimensions already. So no one is foreclosing your opportunity to share your knowledge of the game on Wikia, and in a way that would be in easy reach of this wiki.
And in the second, I'm just trying to make sure that long-standing discussions do get a resolution. We have to make progress with these discussions or else there's no point in having them.
Though I've disappointed you this time, I hope you can see it's not personal. Indeed, I believe that I've ruled in your favor in a different discussion earlier this year. If in this instance I've done differently than you would have liked, I hope you'll be able to see that it is a good faith decision based on trying to uphold existing rules.
czechout ☎ ✍ 02:19: Tue 10 Nov 2015
- I'm afraid that I do rather mind if you recycle arguments from this now-closed forum. I see nothing new in anything there. That's, in fact, what closing the article in the negative inherently means. So starting yet another forum about our treatment of video games, based upon the discussion that has now been properly closed by an admin, would be a direct violation of T:POINT.
- Basically, you would have to come up with clear evidence that BBC had an official, detailed narrative version of the game. If no such new evidence can be brought to the table, a new discussion is not merited.
- I get that you don't like our policies regarding video games. You've expressed that on several occasions over the years. But, as I have said to you in diverse messages, nobody — not even me — gets our way 100% of the time on a wiki. You think it's dumb we don't cover video games better; I think it's ridiculous that we italicise BBC Wales episode titles. Sometimes the ball just doesn't bounce the way you want it to.
- Yanno, I'm obviously just a user of other wikis, so I understand things from your side. There are things about various other wikis that drive me bonkers. But there are also things here that drive me, as an admin, crazy. I have to enforce rules that I don't agree with, or that I had no part in deciding, or that I really just don't want to reiterate for the thousandth time. So trust me when I say that the following is just a bit of advice from my experience on both sides of the fence:
- When a discussion gets closed against your wishes, you can maybe push back once or twice. But that's about it. It's way better to just accept things and move on to a different part of the wiki, rather than plotting a different way to beat the same old drum.
- Truth is, it's a flat waste of your talents to continue being a champion for these marginal products. You know how to use the Wikia platform well and you've got a good knowledge of Doctor Who. We really need you here. But it would be best for you, me, everyone if you edited about the tens of thousands of stories that aren't anywhere close to NOTDWU territory.

Re: Bernice again Edit
Hey, I've made a post at Talk:Bernice Summerfield so we can get some kind of decision, if you want to stop by and cast a final vote. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 16:24, November 10, 2015 (UTC)
Block Edit
You were warned in February 2013 that "your next attack on T:VS — however sleight, however sly, however indirect — or on those admin who are just trying to uphold it — will be met with a lengthy block that will at least partially include some of the time that Doctor Who is in season."
In my view, you have done precisely this in Thread:185980 by bringing up a well-understood aspect of T:VS — namely that advertisements are outside our scope. This was as true in a thread I once adjudicated as it is now. That thread, in fact, was open for nearly a year, and in it consensus was reached that advertisements are all considered non-narrative, and hence not valid sources on this wiki. And your stance in this latest thread shows that you were not even trying to get to any sort of new truth. You were at once proposing that maybe Sprout Boy should be allowed and then showing that you fully understood the problems inherent in doing so. You were arguing just to argue, while bringing no new arguments to the table, and therefore running afoul of T:POINT as well.
You've also done it at Thread:178134 by immediately proposing the re-creation of a category that had just been deleted following that thread's natural conclusion.
Also within the last few weeks was a violation of T:ATTACKS at Thread:183627. You have been blocked before for T:DISCUSS and T:ATTACKS here and here, respectively. At Thread:183627, you insulted both CzechOut and the participants in the prior discussion, which you referred to as a "not-discussion". You are bound by current policy, and previous discussions are no less valid, for you or anyone else, simply for you not having been there.
You can't simply opt out of rules you feel do not apply. We have told you the rules and linked you to the policies, we have given you chances, and yet you have repeatedly violated the same rules. You continue to undermine community decisions and policies with frivolous new debates, on things which policy already dictates are not valid.
It is clear to me that not much has changed since 2013, despite ample warning. So, I'm blocking you. Because your previous ban by user:Shambala108, which was set to last 6 months, clearly did not have enough of an impact, this block will be for a period of one year, starting today.
I hope that when you return in 12 months' time, with a few weeks before the Christmas special, you will understand our policies — T:POINT, T:DISCUSS and T:ATTACKS in particular — a bit better, and learn, this time around, to follow them.

Tasting Notes:This wine packs so much vibrant fruit, you'll think the Kool-Aid Man just burst through the wall and punched you in the face! Jam packed with crushed strawberry and dark summer fruit (plum, blackberry, cherry) with a velvety full mouth feel. Vanilla and baking spices round out the finish with a slight hint of tobacco. - WineryAging: 12 months in American oakAcid: 0.63g/100mlpH: 3.58Alcohol: 15.5%
Michael David Winery also scores impressively with their moderately priced Zinfandels. The 2013 Zinfandel Earthquake is 100% Zinfandel, a 30,000-case cuvée aged in American oak. It is no wimpy Zinfandel at 15.5% alcohol, but is full-bodied, offering briary, peppery, meaty and herbal black fruits and some red fruits. The wine is pure, deep, fleshy, and ideal for drinking over the next 3-4 years. - Robert Parker 91 Points

Prosecutors say a woman who was cooperating with a sheriff's investigation handed Marin a burrito containing heroin. The exchange took place outside an Airport Courthouse courtroom were Marin was assigned. Investigators stopped the deputy before he went back into the courtroom.
Marin resigned in April.
