April 2011
Since its earliest days, publishing has been a business of technology and driven by content production standards that help make the process of creating and replicating content for distribution more streamlined. This is as true today as it was in the 15th century. Standards for digital content creation and production, which are just passing through their infancy, moved several steps forward recently.
Last week, NISO released two draft standards for trial use: the revised DAISY Authoring and Interchange specification and the Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS). Both of these standards go to the heart of content creation in ways that smooth production, enhance distribution, and improve access. Both standards, which have existed in other forms and saw significant adoption prior to the most recent revisions, should receive close attention, review, and adoption from the information community. Both working groups should be commended for their quick work to bring the projects to this stage.
For the journal community, the JATS standard-long known as the NLM Journal Archiving and Interchange Tag Suite (or the NLM DTD for short) after the organization that created and maintained it, the National Library of Medicine-has grown to be one of the foundational elements of a large segment of journal production since its first release in 2003. Its existence has allowed for the creation of standardized production tools, preservation systems, and provides a lingua franca of communicating journal content in XML. After a relatively quick development cycle, the latest revision of the tag suite, now standardized through NISO is available for trial use. For more information about JATS and to participate in the trial, please visit the working group page for the project.
The second draft released for trial use is a revision of the DAISY Digital Talking Book standard, now expanded beyond just books as the Authoring and Interchange Framework. This standard provides for the creation of electronic resources in formats that are usable by people who, for different reasons, have problems using regular printed media. The standard is a means defines how to use XML to represent different kinds of information resources for transformation into universally accessible formats. The DAISY standard is being incorporated into and closely aligned with the recently announced EPUB revision by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF). For more information, visit the DAISY website http://www.daisy.org/z3986/2011/Z3986-2011A.html or the DAISY Revision working group page.
To understand the value of these two standards, one need only consider the costs of remodeling one's home. Anyone who has considered home renovations realizes that it is easier to have put plumbing during original construction than to change it in an existing structure. The same is true when buildings are retrofitted to provide access to people with disabilities. These potentially significant costs could be avoided if designers had put into place basic design principles from the outset. This is equally true with content creation and distribution. Creating content in XML from the outset, while adhering to community standards, reduces production costs and eases the challenges of content migration and preservation. In addition, when content is created with accessibility, preservation, and multiple distribution formats in mind not only reduces costs, but facilitates the one thing content providers seek: greater potential readership.
If you are involved in content creation, either for books or journals, do take some time to review these important projects and give us your feedback. There are several other NISO projects expected to be distributing documents this spring and we look forward to sharing more news to come in the coming weeks and months.

April Two-Part Webinar: RFID Systems for Libraries
A new three-part ISO standard on RFID in Libraries (ISO 28560) has been published (see related story in this issue of Newsline). NISO has a revision underway for the recommended practice, RFID in U.S. Libraries (NISO-RP-6-2008) to provide U.S. implementers with guidance on how to provide RFID in a way that adheres to the ISO work. NISO's two-part April webinar on RFID Systems will provide background on the use of RFID in libraries and bring attendees up-to-date on the recent standards and what they mean to both system vendors and libraries. Part 1 provides a more general overview while Part 2 gets into more technical details. You can register for either or both sessions. There is no requirement to attend Part 1 in order to attend Part 2.
The first part of the webinar, to be held on April 13 from 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. (Eastern time), will provide a broad look at RFID, giving libraries a better understanding of what RFID tags might do to help libraries and giving attendees some information about how what roles various players in the supply chain play in the provision of RFID tags and associated services. Speakers will provide both a library (user) perspective and the supply chain perspective from both a technology supplier and a service supplier.
The second part, to be held on April 20 from 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. (Eastern time), looks more closely at the ISO RFID standard and the NISO Recommended Practice on RFID in U.S. Libraries. This webinar will focus on key portions of the documents to help attendees better understand what they might need to know when implementing RFID locally in order to ensure interoperability. In particular, speakers from NISO's RFID working group will discuss the data model, security issues, and privacy and vandalism.
You may register for either or both parts of the webinar; registrants to both part of the webinar receive a 25% discount. NISO and NASIG members can register at the member rate. There is also a student discount. Can't make it for the live webinar date? Registrants get access to the recorded version for one year.

May Two-Part Webinar: The Future of ILS
Both the back-end and the front-end of the traditional Integrated Library System (ILS) are changing and evolving. The back-end is being impacted by the change to RDA cataloging that has only just begun. The front-end is changing through the integration of the ILS with other systems and a web interface layer as well as the interactivity driven by Web 2.0. RDA implementation is expected to drive additional changes to the user-side of the ILS in ways that are still not fully understood.
NISO's two-part May webinar looks at The Future of the ILS from both of these perspectives. On May 11, Part 1 considers RDA & Cataloging from the perspective of the cataloger and the system vendor. . On May 18, Part 2 looks at User Interaction. Both webinars will be held from 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. (Eastern time). You can register for either or both parts. There is no prerequisite to attend Part 1 if your interest is in Part 2.
RDA holds the promise to more closely align Function Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) and Functional Requirements for Authorities Data (FRAD) to library catalogs. While RDA poses a disruptive shift in current cataloging practices, it also carries with it tremendous potential to move the library catalog into the age of the semantic web. In Part 1 of the two-part webinar series, a cataloger and a systems vendor will talk about what an ideal ILS that incorporates RDA might look like.
In Part 2, the webinar shifts to what the future of the ILS will hold with respect to user interaction. Numerous studies have shown that the typical user goes to Google before going to the library's website. What changes are underway or envisioned that can drive the user back to using the library's system or better yet make the library's data work better in the greater web environment. We're already seeing a Library 2.0 world where many libraries encourage users to add to the bibliographic information supplied by the cataloger. How can we take it even further, going beyond the library system "silo". And what are the implications of an RDA-driven library catalog on the user interface? What happens in a world where RDA can set data free from the library system to be linked to and mashed-up with other data or applications? Part 2 of this webinar looks at developments that are both underway and envisioned for the future to radically change the way the user interacts with the library's data.
You may register for either or both parts of the webinar; registrants to both part of the webinar receive a 25% discount. NISO and NASIG members can register at the member rate. There is also a student discount. Can't make it for the live webinar date? Registrants get access to the recorded version for one year.

Mobile Technologies in Libraries Forum
NISO will be holding a one-day in person forum in Philadelphia on May 20, 2011 on the topic of Mobile Technologies in Libraries. The visibility and utility of mobile hardware, software, and connectivity continue their exponential increase. Libraries are finding it difficult to ignore the implications of a perpetually connected user base that want to use mobile devices to access information resources traditionally confined to desktop or laptop computer access. Library patrons stand to benefit enormously if libraries can effectively offer their information resources in the now-ubiquitous mobile medium.
Topics and speakers for the forum include:
The agenda, registration, and hotel information are available on the event webpage. Get the early bird discount by registering before May 1. NISO members and students receive a discounted rate.
Two Draft Standards Issued For Trial Use: DAISY and JATS
Two NISO working groups have completed their development work and issued draft standards for trial use, following approval by the Content and Collection Development Topic Committee.
Authoring and Interchange Framework (NISO Z39.86-201x) is a revision of the 2005 standard, Specifications for the Digital Talking Book. The revised standard is a modular, extensible architecture create conformant profiles for representing digital information resources in XML to produce documents suitable for transformation into different universally accessible formats that are not limited to book content. The standard does not impose limitations on what distribution formats can be created from it; e-text, Braille, large print, and EPUB are among formats that can be produced in conformance with the standard. The standard will be of interest to any organization using an XML authoring workflow, developers and publishers of universally accessible digital publications, and agencies interested in creating profiles for new document types to integrate into distribution formats. The draft standard is available online. Trial users are encouraged to submit comments and report all issues. Identified issues will be evaluated and addressed as needed following the trial and prior to final publication of the standard.
JATS: Journal Article Tag Suite (NISO Z39.96-201x) is a new standard that revises and updates the NLM Archiving and Interchange Tag Suite, commonly referred to as the NLM DTDs. JATS provides a common XML format in which publishers and archives can exchange journal content by preserving the intellectual content of journals independent of the form in which that content was originally delivered. The draft standard defines elements and attributes for describing the textual and graphical content of journal articles as well as some non-article material, such as letters, editorials, and book and product reviews. The draft standard for trial use is available as both an online XML document and a downloadable PDF from the NISO website. An online commenting form is also available for trial users to provide feedback. Supporting documentation and schemas in DTD, RELAX NG, and W3C Schema formats are available on the NLM website.
Both standards have six month trials that end in late September. Following the trial, the respective working groups will revise the standards as needed based on feedback from the trial users and present the standards to the NISO voting members for approval.
Two NISO Standards Reaffirmed
NISO and the American National Standards Institute have approved the reaffirmation of two NISO standards. These standards underwent their regular five-year review where they were recommended for reaffirmation by the Content and Collection Management Topic Committee and approved by the NISO voting members in each of the standards' voting pools. The two standards are:

New Specs & Standards
BSR/IEEE 2301-201x, Guide for Cloud Portability and Interoperability Profiles (CPIP)
A new project to develop a standard to advise cloud computing ecosystem participants (cloud vendors, service providers, and users) of standards-based choices in areas such as application interfaces, portability interfaces, management interfaces, interoperability interfaces, file formats, and operation conventions. For more information or to participate contact Lisa Yacone.
ISO/IEC 10646:2011, Information technology – Universal Coded Character Set (UCS)
This second edition consolidates all of the contents of Amendments 1 through 8 to the 2003 first edition. It specifies the Universal Coded Character Set (UCS) of over 109 000 characters from the world's scripts. It is applicable to the representation, transmission, interchange, processing, storage, input, and presentation of the written form of the languages of the world as well as additional symbols. ISO/IEC 10646:2011 is aligned with The Unicode Standard, Version 6.0, with the exception of U+20B9 Indian rupee sign that was accelerated into Unicode Version 6.0. The terminology for encoding forms (and encoding schemes) in ISO/IEC 10646 now matches exactly the terminology used in the Unicode Standard.
ISO 28560-:2011, Information and documentation – RFID in libraries
A new three-part standard that specifies a model for the use of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags for items appropriate for the needs of all types of libraries. It provides the framework to ensure interoperability between libraries in exchange of library items with RFID tags. Part 1: Data elements and general guidelines for implementation specifies the data model, system data elements and user data elements to be used on the RFID tags. Two encoding methods are defined. Part 2: Encoding of RFID data elements based on rules from ISO/IEC 15962 uses an object identifier structure to identify data elements. Part 3: Fixed length encoding deals with the encoding of a basic set of data elements in a fixed length format and the rest of the data elements in optional extension blocks. Parts 2 and 3 are mutually exclusive; the RFID tag would be encoded using only one of the two defined schemes.
COUNTER, Release 4 Code of Practice: Objectives, Timetable and Process for Development
The fourth release of the COUNTER Code of Practice will combine the two existing codes for Journals and Databases and Books and Reference Works. The objectives document describes the plans for that unified release, the inclusion of multimedia works, the functionality of the XML reports, and the use of SUSHI, as well as the implications of the PIRUS2 and Journal Usage Factor projects. A timetable is provided to reach the goal of release in early 2012 and vendor implementation by December 2013.
Microsoft, Intergen and the DAISY Consortium, Save as DAISY for Office 2010 Version 2.5 Beta
This updated version of the Save as DAISY add-in for Office 2010 incorporates a "Lite" version of the DAISY Pipeline transformation tool to create accessible versions of documents. Users can generate the DAISY XML for further processing, or you can generate a fully conforming DAISY file set with full navigation and full text synchronized with audio.
World Wide Web Consortium, Provenance Working Group
W3C has launched a new Provenance Working Group /, whose mission is to support the widespread publication and use of provenance information of Web documents, data, and resources. The Working Group will publish W3C Recommendations that define a language for exchanging provenance information among applications. See the Provenance Working Group Charter for more information.

- HARDWARE : ntdetect.com
writes the subtree during the boot process. The hardware detected is divided
into the following keys:
- DESCRIPTION : system hardware database generated during boot.
- DEVICEMAP : has subkeys enumerating all device drivers loaded.
- RESOURCEMAP: tracks IRQ, DMA and other resource allocations for each driver.
- SAM : Security Accounts Manager contains the user and group account database for a workstation, stand-alone server, member server or domain. It is often noted that this subtree can not be directly edited. It can be but one would be foolish using anything other than indirect editing tools such as User Manager or Resource Toolkit utilities. This subkey is actually a db view of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY\SAM key. The max size is limited by the maximum size of the Registry. The Registry can not exceed 80% of the PagedPoolSize. If PagedPoolSize=128MB, max registry size is 128MB * .80 = 102MB. See Current Registry Size for tip on how to determine current registry size and maximum registry setting. See Q143475 on how to use strong encryption to the SAM.
- SECURITY : contains policy information. It should not be directly edited. Use an indirect registry editor like the policy editor.
- SOFTWARE : defines and maintains configuration data
for all Win32 software installed on the PC including NT itself. There should be
a subkey for each software vendor with a subkey for each installed title
published by that vendor.
- Classes Contains the information necessary to
launch applications when opened from File Manager (file associations) or
Explorer and for OLE COM. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is a db
view of the Classes subtree.
- Holds information about the ActiveX controls installed. When an ActiveX control installs itself, it creates entries so that ActiveX container applications can find and use the control. These controls register themselves by name and they also have a unique numer called a class ID (CLSID).
- All the extensions and associations between applications and documents
- Names of all the drivers
- Strings used as pointers to the actual text they represent (for example, aufile actually represents AU Format Sound)
- Class ID numbers (numbers used intead of names for accessing items)
- DDE and OLE information
- Icons used for applications and documents
- Microsoft : contains subkeys for all Microsoft software installed on NT-based computer including NT itself, Browser, Clipbook Server, Mail, Microsoft Office, ...
- Secure : not used by NT OS. Used by applications such as Exchange Server to maintain configuration data restricted to administrator level.
- Windows 3.1 Migration Status : the presense of this key indicates that the migration was complete (ie when NT Workstation installed in same directory as Win 3.x or WfWg 3.x).
- Classes Contains the information necessary to launch applications when opened from File Manager (file associations) or Explorer and for OLE COM. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is a db view of the Classes subtree.

While this is the latest book in the Erlendur series by Icelandic author Arnaldur Indriðason, Reykjavik Nights [or Reykjavíkurnætur] is also the earliest in the chronology of the series since it relates to the first years of Erlendur in the Icelandic police and to murders that took place in 1974 in Reykjavik. The book may appeal mostly to those who have already read (the) other books in the series, as it explains very little about Erlendur's past and the reasons he is so fascinated by missing persons. It is however a great read, despite or thanks to very little action when touring the nights of Reykjavik and arresting drunks weekend after weekend. (There is a slight interlude when Erlendur takes part in policing the 1100 anniversary celebrations of the settlement of Iceland at Þingvellir where the Alþing, the original Icelandic parliament stood.) Actually, I find the detective part less than convincing but it hardly matters since the development of the character of Erlendur is very well conducted. With a constant focus throughout the series on themes like domestic violence and drunkenness. A very pleasant read.

[Here is a PhD offer at the University of Iceland that may be of interest to some readers or their students. I would have been interested 30 years ago!]
The Department of Mathematics at the University of Iceland (UI) seeks applicants for a fully funded 3 year PhD position for the project Statistical Models for Glaciology.
The student will develop Bayesian hierarchical spatio-temporal models to the field of glaciology, working with a consortium of experts at the University of Iceland, the University of Missouri and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The key people in the consortium are Prof. Birgir Hrafnkelsson at UI, Prof. Chris Wikle, and Prof. Håvard Rue, experts in spatial statistics and Bayesian computation. Another key person is Prof. Gudfinna Adalgeirsdottir at UI, an expect in glaciology. The Glaciology group at UI possesses extensive data and knowledge about the Icelandic glaciers.
The application deadline is February 29, 2016.

At the last (European) AISTATS 2014, I agreed to be the program co-chair for AISTATS 2016, along with Arthur Gretton from the Gatsby Unit, at UCL. (AISTATS stands for Artificial Intelligence and Statistics.) Thanks to Arthur's efforts and dedication, as the organisation of an AISTATS meeting is far more complex than any conference I have organised so far!, the meeting is taking shape. First, it will take place in Cadiz, Andalucía, Spain, on May 9-11, 2016. (A place more related to the conference palm tree logo than the previous location in Reykjavik, even though I would be the last one to complain it took place in Iceland!)
Second, the call for submissions is now open. The process is similar to other machine learning conferences in that papers are first submitted for the conference proceedings, then undergo a severe and tight reviewing process, with a response period for the authors to respond to the reviewers' comments, and that only the accepted papers can be presented as posters, some of which are selected for an additional oral presentation. The major dates for submitting to AISTATS 2016 are
|Proceedings track paper submission deadline
|23:59UTC Oct 9, 2015
|Proceedings track initial reviews available
|Nov 16, 2015
|Proceedings track author feedback deadline
|Nov 23, 2015
|Proceedings track paper decision notifications
|Dec 20, 2015
With submission instructions available at this address. Including the electronic submission site.
I was quite impressed by the quality and intensity of the AISTATS 2014 conference, which is why I accepted so readily being program co-chair, and hence predict an equally rewarding AISTATS 2016, thus encouraging all interested 'Og's readers to consider submitting a paper there! Even though I confess it will make a rather busy first semester for 2016, between MCMSki V in January, the CIRM Statistics month in February, the CRiSM workshop on Eatimating constants in April, AISTATS 2016 thus in May, and ISBA 2016 in June…

In Roissy (De Gaulle) airport, prior to catching my flight to Seattle, I noticed a "new" Indriðason's novel, Le Duel (Einvígið), that has not yet been translated into English. But just translated into French! This is a most unusual novel in the Erlendur series, in that the central character of the series only appears as a young cop in the final lines of the novel. Instead, the mentor of Erlendur, Marion Biem, is conducting an inquiry as to who had killed a young man in an almost empty Reykjavik cinema. Where almost all spectators seemed to have something to hide, if not always a murder… A classical whodunnit?! Not really because this happens in 1972, during the famous Fisher-Spassky duel, and that duel is unrelated to the murder, while the Icelandic police seems overwrought by the event and the presence of Russian and American double-agents in Reykjavik…
I found the whole exercise interesting, creating a sort of genealogy in the Erlendur series, with Marion's mentor playing a side role and his early training in Glasgow (of all places!), with the re-creation of a 1972 Iceland and the chess match between Fisher and Spassky at the height of the Cold War. Plus a reminder about the tuberculosis epidemics of the 1930's, where The detective side of the novel is however less convincing than usual, with clues and fingerprints appearing at the most convenient times. And a fairly convoluted resolution. Still worth reading, especially on a long flight!
Mýrin aka Jar City [book review]Posted in Books, Mountains, pictures, Travel with tags Arnaldur Indridason, Íslendingabók, book review, deCODE, Iceland, Iceland noir, Jar City, Keflavik, Mýrin, Norðurmýri, Reykjavik on July 26, 2015 by xi'an
Mýrin ("The Bog") is the third novel in the Inspector Erlendur series written by Arnaldur Indridason. It contains the major themes of the series, from the fascination for unexplained disappearances in Iceland to Elendur's inability to deal with his family responsibilities, to domestic violence, to exhumations. The death that starts the novel takes place in the district of Norðurmýri, "the northern marsh", not far from the iconic Hallgrimskirkja, and not far either from DeCODE, the genetic company I visited last June and which stores genetic information about close to a million Icelanders, the Íslendingabók. And which plays an important and nefarious role in the current novel. While this episode takes place mostly between Reykjavik and Keflavik, hence does not offer any foray into Icelandic landscapes, it reflects quite vividly on the cultural pressure still present in the recent years to keep rapes and sexual violence a private matter, hidden from an indifferent or worse police force. It also shows how the police misses (in 2001) the important genetic clues for being yet unaware of the immense and frightening possibilities of handling the genetic code of an entire population. (The English and French titles refer to the unauthorised private collections of body part accumulated [in jars] by doctors after autopsies, families being unaware of the fact.) As usual, solving the case is the least important part of the story, which tells about broken lifes and survivors against all odds.

A funny coincidence: as I was sitting next to Arnoldo Frigessi at the NBBC15 conference, I came upon a new question on Cross Validated about a dynamic mixture model he had developed in 2002 with Olga Haug and Håvård Rue [whom I also saw last week in Valencià]. The dynamic mixture model they proposed replaces the standard weights in the mixture with cumulative distribution functions, hence the term dynamic. Here is the version used in their paper (x>0)
where f is a Weibull density, g a generalised Pareto density, and w is the cdf of a Cauchy distribution [all distributions being endowed with standard parameters]. While the above object is not a mixture of a generalised Pareto and of a Weibull distributions (instead, it is a mixture of two non-standard distributions with unknown weights), it is close to the Weibull when x is near zero and ends up with the Pareto tail (when x is large). The question was about simulating from this distribution and, while an answer was in the paper, I replied on Cross Validated with an alternative accept-reject proposal and with a somewhat (if mildly) non-standard MCMC implementation enjoying a much higher acceptance rate and the same fit.

Camille Grammer: Not A 'Housewife' Again After All?
Despite Tuesday's E! News to the contrary, there's no guarantee that Camille Grammer will soon be once more amid Bravo's "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills".
A source allegedly told E! News that Grammer had made this past season's early exit but a temporary absence, and would be making several cameo appearances during the now-filming third season. Her reported presence at troubled housewife Kim Richards' husband Kyle's birthday party recently seemingly backed that claim up. Today, yet another "source" tells The Huffington Post gossip Naughty But Nice Rob that nothing's so set-in-stone.
"If Camille interacts with her past cast mates in a natural fashion at events they throw, she will turn up on camera," the source told HuffPo's Rob. "However, she has no story line in the season that is now being filmed and doesn't have a production schedule or even know when or where the ladies are filming, unless one of the cast members invites her to attend.
"The producers have no idea if Camille will show up, she is not part of the cast," the source continued. "Obviously she has close relationships with a few of the ladies and anyone who is close with these girls will end up on camera in the background."
Grammer claimed last month that she hadn't been fired, but had merely taken a voluntary step back from the show's previous season for priorities' sake. In fact, she claimed, it was a mutual agreement between herself and producers at that time that she wouldn't join a third season.
"I didn't want to expose my personal life so much anymore," she said. "I had done that and was over that. I care very much for my family and children, and that show tends to take me away from them. I really want to focus on them right now."

An outfit consisting of sneakers and a skirt typically sounds like the handiwork of your five-year-old sister. If that's the case, then this Fashionista has a little sister with the style prowess of a seasoned editor. With the advent of the wedge sneaker à la Isabel Marant, trainers are no longer reserved for running shorts or the gym. So yes, they're completely acceptable to wear with just about anything outside of workout wear—meaning a skirt and wedge sneakers are a match made in heaven.
This Fashionista spotted outside of the library approached the wedge sneaker trend in an entirely novel way. Sure, she could have paired them with something evoking a more boyish flair, but that would be expected. As every Fashionista enjoys a nice challenge, she looked to the other end of the spectrum for ultra-femme pieces instead. A flowy floral skirt counteracts that casual air of her sneakers, while her cream pompom knit sweater adds quite a bit of texture to her look. Plum-colored tights underneath and a classic blue Coach bag slung over her shoulder, she appeared a far cry from what your average college student looks like when he or she goes off to a study session.
Wearing heels to class may be a little over the top, but wedge sneakers are the perfect option for those who still want a little lift while maintaining their comfort level. Lace up these red Venice Wedge Sneakers from NASTY GAL and throw in a metallic element via Topshop's Premium Silver Pleated Skirt. Dress up your outfit further with a holiday party-ready beaded tank from Threadsence.

Wallabies centre Pat McCabe is confident he can again return from a broken neck and is targeting a comeback in the opening ACT Brumbies trial this month, aiming to prove himself a more complete player.
McCabe, 25, who has broken his neck twice in 14 months, only returned to contact training when the Brumbies resumed pre-season training two weeks ago.
While he still faces a more physical test in training, he wants to play in the Brumbies' first trial against the Otago Highlanders in Queenstown, New Zealand, on January 31.
Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham is set to thrust McCabe into Christian Lealiifano's vacant inside-centre position, with Lealiifano not expecting to return from an ankle injury until round five.
Although McCabe's injury has prevented him from contact work, it has allowed him to focus on his ball skills in the pre-season.
McCabe said it was still too early to contemplate how he would fit into the team when Lealiifano returned, but he is focused on trying to wear the No.12 jersey against the Queensland Reds in round one at Canberra Stadium on February 22.
''The proof will be in how I go in the trials,'' he said.
''In that game situation there's a bit more pressure on you, but at this stage I'm feeling really comfortable and feeling a lot more confident with that side of things [ball playing].''
Brumbies fullback Jesse Mogg is also targeting a return in the trials after off-season shoulder surgery.
It is most likely he will line up in the second trial, against an ACT XV in Canberra on February 8.
While his shoulder was on the mend, Mogg trained in Queensland with AFL club the Brisbane Lions and hopes the experience can make his booming left boot even more effective in Super Rugby.
The 24-year-old said the training with the Lions was to maintain his fitness while away from Canberra, but also to get tips on his kicking from the Brisbane players, which included young guns Dayne Zorko and Tom Rockliff.
Mogg's left boot became a big part of the Brumbies' game plan last year.
''It was more of an opportunity for myself to keep my general fitness up and work on a few kicking techniques with guys that kick a lot in the game,'' he said.
''There's obviously a lot of difference between an AFL ball and a rugby ball, but I've been working on my kicking since I've been back down here and it's been looking really good lately.
''Hopefully I take that into the trials and into the season.''

CHESTERFIELD, Va. (WTVR) – Police have identified the victim of a fatal crash. They say 35 year-old Steven Ridley of the 3,000 block of Peyton Avenue was killed when he was struck and killed by a U-Haul Truck, driven by 62 year-old Robert Krill of North Hampton, Pennsylvania.
At approximately 3:15 p.m. this afternoon, Virginia State Police responded to a two vehicle crash on Interstate 95 southbound at the 64 mile marker in Chesterfield County.
Police say the driver of a 2010 Chrysler 300 M was stopped on the right shoulder with his hazard lights activated and was outside of his vehicle attempting to change a flat tire, when the driver of a U-haul Truck ran off the right side of the roadway and struck the passenger vehicle and the adult male. The driver of the Chrysler 300 M died at the scene.
Police say the victim's 14 year-old son was also outside of the passenger vehicle assisting his father with the flat tire when the crash occurred. He was not injured. The drivers nine year-old daughter, who was seated inside the vehicle in the front passenger seat, suffered minor injuries and was transported to VCU Medical Center.
Investigators say the driver of the U-haul, Krill, who was wearing his safety belt, suffered serious non-life threatening injuries and was transported by ambulance to VCU Medical Center.
Krilll has been charged with reckless driving. The Virginia State Police Accident Reconstruction Team is assisting with the on-going investigation. The Virginia State Police are continuing their investigation and are consulting with the Chesterfield County Commonwealth's Attorney Office. The Chesterfield County Police Department is assisting with traffic control.
The accident backed up traffic for hours. The southbound lane of I-95 and Willis Road was closed for 6 1/2 hours. It re-opened at 9:22 p.m.

"As Otomo once said to us, "it's not what you play that matters, but how you play it". The "how" of music making is everything for this composer, arranger and improviser and it was naturally that he changed his proceedings in the last decade or so. From the heavy sampled madness of both his electronic music and the group Ground Zero, in which he mixed his love of jazz and rock and dealed with an overdose of sound information, Otomo Yoshihide turned minimal, reducing the materials to the essential. When in came to Portugal in 2004 to play in the Jazz em Agosto festival, he showed that in two gigs. With the Canadian turntablist Martin Tétreault he used his decks without records, only manipulating the pickups and the needles with paper, rubber and metal round surfaces, forging a brutal noise music with very little. And with the New Jazz Quintet he used an electric guitar not to phrase, not to play chords, but to produce controlled feedbacks. That's what we hear in "Live in Lisbon", the (partial) recording of that memorable concert, the last of this group that he converted to an ensemble of eight instrumentalists and singers from pop and experimental backgrounds, and then an orchestra of twelve, with extra Japanese traditional and electronic musicians to give it other colors and other personality.
The "what" of the Otomo Yoshihide New Jazz Quintet (also known as ONJQ), as the name of the band already manifests, is jazz, but the "how" of the jazz this combo plays is rather different from everything else we can find these days under that label. There's an exotica and ambient quality on it, as if the purpose was to mutate jazz into an alien and at the same time very familiar form of music, a contradiction of terms in itself but precisely the key to give us this ambivalent impression of something simultaneously accessible and strange. Similarly to what characterizes the Otomo Yoshihide New Jazz Ensemble and the Otomo Yoshihide New Jazz Orchestra, this quintet with Mats Gustafsson as special guest performed covers of great jazz tunes by the likes of Eric Dolphy, Ornette Coleman, Charles Mingus and Charlie Haden, among other be bop and free jazz standards, adding to the repertoire a pop song ("Eureka", by Jim O'Rourke, was a common choice, and it's still used by the present orchestra) and Otomo's own compositions. We immediately recognized pieces like "Serene", "Lonely Woman", "Orange Was the Color of Her Dress, Then Blue Silk" and "Song for Che" (this one of good memory for the jazz fans in Portugal who remember the tribute Haden did in a concert to the liberation movements of Angola, Guinea and Mozambique, when the colonial dictatorship was living its final years) but the feeling that we were crossing known territory soon vanished, because what the band did with it was new and bizarre.
Some of those unorthodox interpretations are documented in this fantastic CD that gives us the opportunity to listen with more time and focus to the very special virtues of someone like the alto saxophonist Tsugami Kenta, who deserves a wider recognition. It's very fulfilling and fun to follow him in open and free situations with his Paul Desmond / Lee Konitz stylings, as it is to catch Gustafsson in a context in which he has to moderate his expressionistic impetus. This means you shouldn't miss this album, 'cause you'll certainly find things that you don't even imagined possible."-Clean Feed

Students that belong to a pro-life campus group called Cornell Coalition for Life (CCFL) spent weeks and hundreds of dollars organizing a pro-life display to be featured on the Cornell University Engineering Campus in Ithaca, New York. This was no guerilla campaign, either, because the CCFL applied for and received permission for its display. Yet, scarcely an hour had passed before an associate dean for the university summarily decided on her own to support the removal of the display by an administrative assistant despite that the display was approved by the college. This incident happened on October 22, yet the media has completely ignored this troubling story.
The CCFL had erected its "Elena Campaign" signs in the Engineering Quad to raise awareness among students of the earlier stages of fetal development, stages when many falsely imagine that a fetus is just a "lump of cells." As the CCFL says, its "Elena Campaign" is "a series of light-hearted educational signs with pictures and text detailing the biological development of an unborn child."
The CCFL reports that regardless of approval, the dean and her assistant removed the display.
Less than one hour after the Cornell Coalition for Life (CCFL) set up their "Elena Campaign" signs in the Engineering Quad, the signs were abruptly removed by Dawn Warren, an administrative assistant, and taken to the Facilities Office of the College of Engineering. The "Elena Campaign" is a series of light-hearted educational signs with pictures and text detailing the biological development of an unborn child. Though CCFL had gone through the proper administrative avenues to get approval for the display, Warren removed the signs without permission because she did not personally approve of the content.
After this administrative assistant illicitly removed the signs, an assistant dean of the school helped her suppress the student's rights further.
Together, Dawn Warren and Cathy Dove, Associate Dean for Administration in the College of Engineering, attempted to prevent members of CCFL from retrieving the signs. Only when the Cornell Police were brought in did Warren and Dove relinquish the property. Even then, Dove tried to intimidate the students and requested that the signs not be put up again, referencing an "unwritten policy" among the College of Engineering to prevent "opinionated displays."
Fortunately, the campus police were able to prevail upon the dean and her assistant to relinquish the signs for the approved display to resume.
The illicitly removed signs sat in the dean's area as the police attempted to resolve the dispute.
On the website of the free speech campus watchdog group FIRE, Adam Kissel has more on this story. According to Kissel, the dean claimed that the CCFL folks were violating an "unwritten" rule that such displays were not allowed.
The students tried to retrieve their signs from Dawn Warren and Cathy Dove, Associate Dean for Administration in the College of Engineering, but Dove reportedly said that the College of Engineering had an "unwritten policy" that prevented "opinionated displays" on the quad. Dove also reportedly said that Cornell was becoming increasingly concerned about not having its green spaces "cluttered."
In a further effort to suppress free expression, Dove also threatened that she would take up the "unwritten rule" with Cornell administrators to try to get it made official.
This is yet one more example, ruefully noted, of the oppressive tendency to quash free speech that is occurring on our university and college campuses all across the country. Now, if this had been a pro-abortion group that had its freedom of speech stamped upon by college administrators, who can doubt that the media would have made the matter front page news? Yet, since it was a pro-life group that was oppressed, we've heard not a peep about this story in the media.
Sad, but not unexpected.

This spot is well known to people that photograph the Big Sur region a lot, but it remained unknown to me for a very long time! Even though I have shot in the Big Sur area many times, this spot always eluded me. Not until Stuck On Earth did I actually discover something that was so close to the road, but otherwise impossible to know about except through friends! So, when I parked and started the short walk, you can imagine how excited I was to find such a panacea of photographer right under my nose!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

About the Book: Defiance
The perfect blend of YA fantasy and dystopia, Defiance is the start of an addictive new series
The start of a fantastic and fast-paced new coming-of-age fantasy series.
When Rachel Adams's father disappears; she is determined to go after him, even if it means breaking every rule and defying every authority. Her efforts catch the eye of the city's cruel ruler, the Commander, who grants Rachel permission to search the unprotected Wasteland beyond the city walls for her father. Her father's apprentice Logan convinces the Commander to allow him to accompany her; though Rachel is sure of her skills, Logan is all too well aware of the dangers that lurk along the roads and beneath the ground of the Wasteland.
But the Wasteland is not the only place where dangers hide beneath the surface. Rachel was meant to be the Commander's pawn, her compliance bought by his relentless cruelty. But Rachel has never been like other girls. In the crucible of Baalboden, she has been transformed from a courier's daughter into a deadly weapon, and she and Logan have forged a bond that even the Commander's iron fist cannot break.

Alankar (Decor) -170 - Poem by Indira Renganathan
Little Girl Getting To School (Spenserian Sonnet)
the defining features of the Spenserian Sonnet are:
a quatorzain made up of 3 Sicilian quatrains (4 lines alternating rhyme) and ending in a rhyming couplet
metric, primarily iambic pentameter.
rhymed, rhyme scheme ababbcbccdcdee.
Little Girl Getting To School
Nine o' clock she has to be right in school
Eight o' clock she has to catch her school van
Six o' clock mama wakes her up by rule
Seven o' clock she tries rise if she can
At last half past seven like a rough man
Mama heaves her bundled to the bath room
Brushing bathing finished no sooner than
Papa keeps ready food and school costume
As mama ties a ' pony' with a bloom
Papa forcing the dress and shoes so fast
Midway grandma thrusts in food with eyes gloom
Little girl is ready for school at last
Daddy daughter rush to the van spot straight
Little girl getting to school on time right

In Foley coverage, scant mention of three other Republican congressmen embroiled in major scandals
Research ››› ››› ROB DIETZ
In their coverage of the scandal involving former Rep. Mark Foley, only a few major media outlets have noted that Foley is the third Republican congressman to leave office in scandal within the past year. A fourth Republican congressman, Rep. Bob Ney, has pleaded guilty to corruption charges but not resigned his seat.
In their coverage of the resignation of former Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL), only a few major media outlets have noted that Foley was the third Republican congressman to leave office in scandal within the past year, while a fourth has pleaded guilty to corruption charges and will not seek re-election. A Media Matters for America review* found that of the following major newspapers -- The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and USA Today -- the main wire services, the network newscasts, and the cable news channels, only Reuters, The Washington Post, and USA Today noted that Foley joined fellow Republicans Randy "Duke" Cunningham (CA), who served on the House Appropriations Committee and was chairman of the subcommittee on Human Intelligence Analysis and Counterintelligence, and former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (TX) in leaving or being forced out of the House of Representatives amid scandal. In addition, Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH) has agreed to plead guilty to corruption charges and recently stepped down from his chairmanships of the subcommittee on Housing and Community Opportunity and of the Commission on Congressional Mailing Standards, better known as the Franking Commission. In January, while under pressure from the corruption investigation, Ney also gave up his chairmanship of the House Administration Committee. Ney has ended his bid for re-election but not resigned his seat in the House.
From a September 30 Reuters article:
Congress has been dogged by low approval ratings, huge federal deficits, the increasingly unpopular Iraq war and a string of scandals. At the top of the list was the departure of indicted former House of Representatives Republican leader Tom DeLay of Texas and an investigation of lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who, according to a congressional report this week, had frequent contact with the White House.
On Friday, there was another case. Republican Rep. Mark Foley of Florida resigned after reports he sent sexually inappropriate e-mails to congressional interns.
Foley was the third Republican House member to resign under pressure in the past two years. A fourth, Rep. Bob Ney of Ohio, abandoned a re-election bid before agreeing to plead guilty in the influence-peddling scandal that snared Abramoff and some associates.
From the October 1 edition of The Washington Post:
Rich Galen, a Republican political strategist, worried that voters might lump Foley's name with former representatives Robert W. Ney (R-Ohio), Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) and Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-Calif.), all of whom were forced to resign or were indicted amid various scandals this year.
"This sense of entitlement that members of Congress can do anything to anyone or for anyone has got to end," Galen said.
From the October 2 edition of USA Today:
The political stir is the latest setback for Republicans, whose House majority is threatened in next month's elections. They already are battling Bush's low poll ratings and concerns about the war in Iraq.
Foley is the fourth House Republican forced out by ethics problems. Randy "Duke" Cunningham of California resigned in November after pleading guilty to accepting $2.4 million in bribes. Former majority leader Tom DeLay of Texas was indicted on state campaign finance violations and resigned in June. Rep. Bob Ney of Ohio has agreed to plead guilty to charges of corruption and is not seeking re-election.
"It's not as if Republicans didn't have enough problems," said independent political analyst Stuart Rothenberg.
*Media Matters conducted a "News all" Nexis search for "(Ney or Cunningham or DeLay) and Foley" on 9/29/06 and 10/02/06.

My esteemed colleague, Professor Roger Olson, has written on his blog some interesting and thoughtful comments about Evangelicals and Catholics. He writes: Over the last 50 years many notable evangelical thinkers have converted to the Roman Catholic Church (or to some independent Catholic church of which there are many; here I'm concerned mainly with those who have converted to the RC Church). Think of Tom Howard, evangelical professor at Wheaton (and I think Gordon), who converted to RCC and wr … [Read more...]

The sound and surf is filled with trout, flounder, blue fish, shrimp, clams, and blue crabs. Porpoises can often be seen riding the waves, while sea gulls hover overhead.
Come visit our get away at the best beach 'Down East' offers.
Keywords: Beach Front Home
Bobby and Denise Daniels are the owners of Natural High. We were both born and raised in the area. We have raised two children here and still love it as much as we did when we were growing up. We enjoy having friends and family get together's at the beach when Natural High is not rented.
Denise Daniels purchased this mobile home in 2002
We live three miles away, so it is easy to maintain. We wanted a place where we could enjoy the peace and quiet of our very own beach.
We like to sit on the top deck and watch the breathtaking sunsets. The beach is perfect for people of all ages. Clean, comfortable, quiet, and secluded enough for the perfect vacation.
Great place for family to stay. Sleeps 10 is a stretch unless you like to sleep on couches or bunk beds. Fine for kids but only one adult room. Other than that it's perfect.
Just returned after 5 days in a little slice of heaven. The mobile home was very clean and located on a wide beautiful secluded beach. Everything was provided including paper products so all you bring is whatever you want to eat and drink. There were several decks that were perfect for enjoying the beautiful sunsets and feeling the nice breeze. I will be back in the early spring and hope to book a longer stay in this wonderful place.
This was our 2nd year staying here, we loved it so much last year we brought my sister-in-law & nephew with us. The house is very clean, has anything you could possibly need/want. The beach is beyond beautiful, quiet, clean and secluded.
So many wonderful things to see and do around the area. Ferry departs just down the road. Denise {and her family} are good people. Very friendly & welcoming. This will always be our go place when visiting Cedar Island.
My husband and I came to Cedar Island for Easter and had a wonderful time walking on the miles of beautiful beach and enjoying the breathtaking sunsets. We stayed a week and the weather was great. There were several birdhouses around the cottage and the purple martins gave us a show every day. We arranged for a local guide to give us a boat ride along the Cedar Island shoreline complete with an outdoor lunch and can't remember anything more relaxing. The island was beautiful with all the azaleas blooming. We will definitely be back again during the spring season.
Just had a great week on secluded private beach. The mobile home was clean and had all the amenities. Wonderful time of the year to have the beautiful wide beach all to yourself and there were still some warm and sunny days. I plan to book a long weekend during March to enjoy the private beach and restful atmosphere.
This is a wonderful vacation spot! We were looking to get a way from the hustle bustle of board walks, hotels, trinket shops etc. This was the perfect answer, the mobile home is clean, updated, has everything you need and more... We literally had the beautiful beach to ourselves most of the time, our 13 yr. old caught crabs for our dinner! Not kidding - great vacation! Denise is as awesome as every single review says! If you want to relax and appreciate the relaxation that simplicity brings book your vacation here... The Bennett's (Thanks Denise :) )

Don't fear rising mortgage rates just yet. The interest rate for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage is expected to hover around 4% during the second half of 2013 according to Freddie Mac in its latest U.S. Economic and Housing Market Outlook.
But don't expect rising interest rates to stall the nation's housing recovery any time soon. In most housing markets housing remains affordable and it would take a much steeper interest rate hike for potential homeowners to feel the economic pinch of rising rates. I fact, Freddie Mac researchers says at today's home price and income levels, mortgage rates would have to rise closer to 7% before families with median incomes would find themselves unable to afford a median-priced home. That's some good information to hang on to and keep in mind as interest rates rise.
Still, Frank Nothaft, vice president and chief economist with Freddie Mac, calls today's fears about rising rates unwarranted in many respects. "The recent upturn in interest rates is sparking fears among some that the nascent economic and housing recoveries will be choked off before they produce sustained growth," said Nothaft. But, he added, "Nothing in the recent trends suggests that we need to fear a major slowdown. A gradual rise in interest rates will not derail the recovery, and are an indication that the overall economic situation is improving."
Many aspects of the housing market support this outlook. Today, an asset worth 19% more is available for 61.5% less than in 1981! When you consider the lack of new construction over the past several years add to that the high demand, low inventory, and low prices it appears that the housing market continues to be sitting pretty.
