Do Your Research?October 02, 2003
So here's a question: how accountable to fact must you be when posting information for public consumption?
When I write here, I consider myself to be exploring an issue, not sounding the final word on the subject. I have no control over your interpretation of the same. Some may view my voice as authoritative, and as misguided as it may be I can't stop that. I make mistakes with my facts, mostly due to lack of knowledge or proper research. I know what I know and I write about it. Sometimes I check my facts, other times what I know or think is wrong though I assume otherwise. That's what gets published.
If I were adhering to an established journalistic standard, this would be abhorrent. But I'm not.
Consider my recent two entries about colour-blindness for example. The first was obviously (to me anyway) poorly researched and hinged around conversations and memory as opposed to solid fact-finding. The second was more in depth and valid, and even confidently presented researched material as fact.
But then, what is fact-finding? What is inherently more legitimate about deadening the muscles in your hind end while flipping through dead trees, than conversing with the same sort of person who would have written the text in the first place?
Especially when it comes to web-related topics, what constitutes valid research? Everyone knows you can't trust the information on the web. But when the majority of what you do takes place there, and isn't transported to other mediums, then you clearly have to start taking the information available more seriously. Or at least finetune your BS detector.
Of course the danger with that is the self-supporting network it creates. B publishes thought Q, C quotes B, D takes C's quote as fact, and F, G, and H all develop theses around Q, citing B, C, and D as proof.
If B didn't do his homework, that's a large chain of untruth to unravel when Q pans out as a falsehood. But who's on the hook? B was musing publicly. He never expected his thoughts to be taken as fact, let alone be quoted as authoritative.
So the question is who determines the nature of a weblog? If the author intends on publishing nothing more than exploratory musings, is the readership responsible for treating the subject matter as temporal and non-factual? If the readers notice reliably consistent factual information from the author despite what he or she claims, can they reasonably expect future publishing by the author to maintain the trend?
Of course the answer is obvious. It depends on the source. Just as a report by CNN is considered more authoritative the Weekly World News, an entry by an individual who has established credibility and legitmacy can be relied on further than one who has not. Then again, that's not to say that CNN never makes mistakes or panders to advertisers either.
The final onus must be exclusively on the reader. Do you believe everything you read? Do you believe everything you see on TV? Neither should you believe everything on the web. The only truth is your own experience, and everything else is just second hand.
It's the way it always has been, and a new medium doesn't change that.
Reader Comments
That is an excellent point.
Further, the web isn't the only place information can be inaccurate, or where ideas can be mistakenly taken as fact, though the easy, independent nature of web publishing makes it more abundant.
For example, look at just about any scientific journal. One scientist publishes an experiment with an associated theory, and suddenly we all think we have duplicates of ourselves in parallel universes trillions upon trillions of light-years away.
Not to spark any geeky debate on the existence of parallel universes, duplicate selves, or time itself. Just an example.
Instances like that were precisely what I had in mind as I wrote. You're only as good as your editor/fact checker, and mistakes are always made. Plus editorials are a given in every newspaper – what is explicitly an opinion piece can and will be referred to as fact by those who either miss the 'opinion' nature of the piece, or desperately need to prove a point.
Calling the web or weblogs factually suspect means doing the same to a trade publication or a news report. The mediums are irrelevant, it's the authorship process that counts. Yes, perhaps there is a far shallower level of quality control on the web. But saying that traditional media is always more accurate because of this is either a naive leap of faith or logically incorrect.
Dris, articles published in technical journals go through a stringent review process that aims at removing conjectures, unsupported statements or contradictions. Its incorrect to compare that with a blog.
I totally agree with Gabe: you may tend to believe what a blogger has said, but you should not treat it as a gospel. Heck, even scientific theories are refuted when more information is available (although that is because the postulates and assumptions made in the theory are invalidated or deemed weak).
Its natural for anyone to put more faith in what Dave says than what Niket says because through a series of past work, Dave has proved himself to be a reliable source. The same reason why you are more likely to believe what BBC says than say a tabloid.
The onus on checking facts rests as much with the author as it does with the reader. Eventually, blogs carry opinions and interpretations of the author, hence the reader needs to make himself aware of other facts and counter-opinions before accepting the written word.
I'm never too worried about the factual accuracy of information on weblogs, simply because the great strength of the weblog medium is that if someone makes a mistake the corrections come thick and fast. Half the time if I make a simple spelling mistake someone will have pointed it out in a comment before I've even had a chance to check over the entry myself! Combine that with TrackBack, referrals and so forth and you can be reasonably comfortable that any factual errors on a relatively high traffic weblog will only be there until the weblog author is corrected and fixes them.
Yeah its basically all about reputation. For example, Dave has a good reputation in my eyes, so I'm willing to give some more weight to what he says about design and web stuff. If he were to complain that there were too many wild dogs roaming about his town, I'm not going to let his reputation for design carry over to that. If wild dogs were of interest to me, I would look around for a more credible source.
Political blogs (and their cousins the religious blogs) are dangerous though because they authors always have an agenda and aren't always honest about it, and the readers are the most likely to overreact to a lie, hyperbole, or misinterpretation.
Cross-referencing is the responsibility of the reader: never cite just one source for information because, after all, you can't expect to walk if you only have one leg…
Niket: True, but I'm not saying that scientific journals contain inaccurate information or a lack of an adequate editing process. However, when one reads what is obviously a theory, they tend to take it as factual, even if the journal calls it a theory.
For example, Time magazine (not a technical journal, but a respected magazine regardless) often publishes information about new scientific theories, especially those concerning the universe. While Time states that they are theories, it's not unlikely for a person to read it, see that it was published by Time, and thusly take the new theory as factual. They could then go about spreading the theory without even noting that research was still in progress, and there begins people all over the world thinking without doubt that they have a duplicate of themselves far and away.
One of the reasons I think it's not such a big deal is that the web is not what I consider to be a strong factual source of information. Weblogs in particular are usually very obvious about the personal nature of their content. When I read something in a weblog, I may internalize the information (if it sounds plausible) and use it later, but I wouldn't cite it with any more authority than what I hear in a casual conversation.
Your article, for example, may not be well-researched, but it's not presented as such. I find the information useful, but not gospel. I would not be surprised to later learn more subtleties that perhaps contradicted some of your facts. That would neither bother me nor cause me to point the finger at you, I would just assimilate the information the same as always: using judgement.
Well here's the thing, if you aren't a journalist, why would you want an ISSN? ISSN says that it is for periodicals, which, to me, fall under journalism. If you are a journalist, then I think you should try to adhere to the tenets of the profession, regardless of how many print or other media publications do.
As far as trusting information I see on the web, I think it can be trusted by a skilled and skeptical reader. I gave up watching the news on TV a long time ago because it is generally very little information presented in a tedious manner with an aggregious slant. With the internet if I want to read about an event, I'll see the headlines on the major CNN-type sites, then if the information is of any importance to me, I can also look up other primary sources, such as a local paper or a press release. In my experience, putting all these things together yields a fairly accurate and effective view.
Eric - ISSNs are not exclusively the domain of journalists. From the ISSN Canada web site (http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/6/13/s13-201-e.html ):
'A "serial" is a publication, in any medium, issued in successive parts and intended to be continued indefinitely. This definition includes periodicals, newspapers, annuals (reports, yearbooks, directories, etc.), journals, memoirs, proceedings, transactions of societies, monographic series, and unnumbered series.'
I think most everyone has got my point though. While the reader is the one responsible for their own interpretation, I don't think that should limit someone from being as factual as possible. ie, excusing yourself from fact-checking by placing all verification responsibility on the reader is bad practice, and makes you look uninformed.
This reminds me of the same argument I give when non-computer people indicate how "risky" it is to meet someone online.
I always say it's no different than meeting someone walking down the street. (In fact, I feel it is safer because it is easy to be decieved by someone's appearence, but a lot harder to be deceived by the thoughts that actually come out of their brain to you via email, forum, chat.) It all comes down to using your best judgement.
I seem to recall than when writing your first high school research paper, the first thing they teach you is to consider the reliability of your sources.
In general, as a reader of blogs, I appreciate links where I can "fact check" though I usually think of it as "learning more." Also, piggybacking on Simon's comment above, blogs with comments are more reliable because they allow me to see the community's response to a post. (Though comments can be deleted obviously)
Rectractions are useful tools as well.
p.s. I think we all know by now you are pretty reliable. If you're really unsure, start the post with "I could be full of $h!7, but …" ;-)
I think the "self-correcting" nature of weblogs is vastly overrated. This is particularly true with political weblogs, but it affects many technology-focused weblogs as well. The situation is a lot like what Dave described above. Person A makes a statement. Person B refutes that statement with a couple of out-of-context quotes. Person C counters by misinterpreting information from a new study. Person D responds by citing an older, long-ago-refuted study. Person E tears down that study with a flat-out lie…
And so it round and round it goes, everyone proudly "fact-checking the other guy's ass", because nobody in the conversation is dilligent enough and honest enough to manage anything other than a parody of real research. A "skilled and skeptical reader" would need to spend an enormous amount of time fact-checking the fact-checkers just get at an inkling of the truth. (Of course, newspapers suffer from this problem too.) Anyway, the upshot is that there are a tiny, tiny fraction of sites that are worth reading. The rest is bullshit.
I think one of the more appealing things about the Web (Blogs in particular) is that with many things published on the Web it's like an invitation to have a conversation.
Now, I don't know about you, but I talk to people all the time who have no clue about what they are speaking. When in conversation I have no problem correcting someone, or sharing an opposite point of view, and I've got no problem being corrected or argued with.
I feel the same way when it comes to the Web. If I posted something that someone didn't agree with, or knew more about (this happens quite often) then they can send me and email, comment, or what-have-you. It's all good.
I've purposely posted things I wasn't sure about, knowing full well that the ensuing discussion would increase my knowledge as well as the knowledge of my readers.
I think it really comes down to the kind of site and the audience. This wouldn't work, as you say, for CNN, but it works just fine on a personal Web log.
I think with Web publishing, most of the time anyway, it's the readers responsibility to check their source before taking anything they read to heart. But hey, that's just my opinion.
I have a little more faith in the community than that. Errors have been made in the past and quickly realized due to the interconnected system that is the blogsphere.
I agree with Gabe. And, just as unlikely it would be that I accept information from Joe's site about rabbit farming, one can discern BS from fact with some self-checking of their own.
Blogging can sometimes fall to the same demise as many forums: debates filled with lies, out-of-context quotations, and skewed facts that propagate a particular debator's view. But then, any casual debate can be the same thing.
It is always important to check your facts, but towards those who are closed-minded enough to use falsehood to propagate their views, that's just a fact of life. It will happen, and it's not limited to blogs or any media.
More interesting points raised.
Evan - I think even those who discuss technological issues get sufficiently wrapped up in proving their viewpoints that they forget to check the source. A lot of wasted effort takes place in discussions about web standards, for instance, where a quick jump to the W3 would have sufficed. I'm guilty of this too however. I may be slightly more optimistic than you about the end result though…
Keith - you or I may be amenable to fixing mistakes or retracting information when being called on factual error. But what about those who don't handle criticism so well? There are all sorts of personality types out there, and some can be childishly immature when it comes to admitting they're wrong.
Of course, that raises further questions about those who would delete comments they find disagreeable, but I have a feeling the community would stop putting up with someone who would stoop to that level.
Dave, you have a good point there, and one I hadn't thought of, which brings me back to my feeling that part of the responsibility, for better or worse, has to fall on the reader to check with their source.
As far as deleting comments, that opens a whole other can of worms. I feel that if you allow comments, you need to take them on, regardless. The only comments I've ever deleted are spam or very inappropriate comments.
I hate to think that there are folks out there who would delete a comment for any other reason. If you don't like what people have to say, don't allow comments, it pretty simple.
You should try reading some of the UK tabloids if you want poorly researched articles: www.thesun.co.uk, www.mirror.co.uk, www.megastar.co.uk. They've been less than 'factual' for years.
The problem with scientific enquiry, fact finding, and "facts" in general, are that everyone has forgotten the method that we are supposed to use to determine what is true and what is false, and presume facts are an adequate substitute for what is true.
This unfortunately, is false.
For example, the scientific (empirical) method rests on a logical fallacy. Behold, the hypothetical syllogism:
Or in plain language:
1) If Josh wants some ice cream (P), then Josh has to get off his butt and go to the fridge (Q).
2) Josh wants some ice cream (P).
3) Therefore, Josh has to get off his butt and go to the fridge (Q).
This is merely a logical argument. The force of the truth does not come from observing Josh and determining what he has to do to get ice cream, merely by the definition of the sentence �If x then y�. The funny thing is that logic can and does map onto reality.
People have seemed to forgotten this however. Now take an empirical scientific method:
Or in plain language:
1) Hypothesis: If Josh wants some ice cream (P), then Josh has to get off his butt and go to the fridge (Q).
2) Josh got off his butt and went to the fridge (Q). (observed 9 times out of 10)
3) Therefore, Josh must have wanted some ice cream. (P)
This is a fallacy, but a fallacy that all �facts� that we come by via observation are based off of. I could have went to the fridge for any number of other reasons than ice cream. The problem is you can observe my fat butt going to the fridge 10 million times to get ice cream, and 10 million +1 could be to get a soda. You just don�t know for sure. But everyone takes facts as necessary truths.
Don�t even get me started on journalism�
P => Q does not mean Q => P
It however means (not Q) => (not P)
The second part of your reply is therefore incorrect.
Also not accounted in your P => Q is the factor that someone else can get the icecream for Josh (so that he need not get off his butt to eat icecream). Thus, the correct statement will be:
P => Q, P (- X (read this as P implies Q for all P in domain X)
Clearly someone else coming into the house take P outside the domain X; hence (not Q) does not imply (not P) … i.e. Josh can eat icecream without moving his butt off the couch if there is someone else in the room.
The theory of observation and empiricism makes it even more interesting. If Josh goes to the fridge 100 times to get icecream and once to get soda, the EXPECTED outcome of him going to the fridge is to get icecream with a probability 0.99. The REALIZATION of this event could be getting icecream or soda; but that is different from the EXPECTATION of getting icecream or soda.
The problem with the third part of your statement occurs because people often confuse between expected results and realized results.

Toulouse, October 26th 2007 – The IGE+XAO Group announces that:
Over the financial year 2006/2007 the Group's performance was significant with an ordinary operating income of Û3,237,271, an increase of 4.2% and a group net income of Û2,415.019, up by 17.6%. Net return was 11.8% of the turnover compared with 10.4% in 2005/2006.
At the same time, IGE+XAO is consolidating its financial situation with the absence of a long-term bank debt, cash-at-bank of 11.3 million euros and shareholder's equities of 13.8 million euros.
This healthy financial structure gives the Group the ability to pursue its strategy for development. So, over the financial year IGE+XAO was especially dynamic in the following axes of development:
· Expansion of the product portfolio with the creation of the company EHMS in a joint-venture with Labinal (creation and marketing of a software suite for the manufacture of electrical harnesses) and the take over of Compodata (publisher of complex system configurator software).
· Development of new services with creation of the company S2E Consulting (diagnostic, consulting and support services dedicated to systems engineering and to electrical design processes) in a joint-venture with the SogŽclair Group.
· Improvement of the Group's international commercial coverage with the opening of a subsidiary in China.
Over the financial year 2006/2007, in view of the Group's thresholds, the contribution of these new companies to the Income from ordinary activities and to the net consolidated income is not significant.
Finally and in accordance with the policy put in place by IGE+XAO the board of directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting the payment of a dividend of Û0.22 per share compared with Û0.20 in 2005/2006.
IGE+XAO: Consolidated accounts for 2006/2007 (IRFS norms)Sharp Increase In Group net Income: +17.6%.

This question already has an answer here:
In my document (KOMA script article) I use the
listings package for code listings and the
caption package for additional control over captions.
My problem is that some listings flow over multiple pages. When this occurs I would like to have something like "Listing n, continued", or something to that effect at the start of each additional page --- so a contination caption.
I know the captions package supports breaking up captions and doing the "continued" stuff, but am unsure how to get the listings package on board. Any ideas?

I have a spring drive chrono and I don't plan on maintaining it until it actually has a problem. I'll take my chances. In my experience with all kinds of products the product is never the same after they crack the original seal with any manufacturer warrantees or service. I had Seiko fix a watch under warranty that was 10 bar rated and it ended up taking on water. They had to give me a new one. I've had new cars that when I took them in for warranty at the original dealer; more than once it came back with new problems. I like having the factory seal on my SD. At this point it's un-contaminated.
I honestly don't feel comfortable having the seal broken for any reason; not a battery, service or warranty. I'll take my chances with the original assembly and seal. I believe the watch is the best it'll ever be mechanically. Every time you open it you invite unintended potential problems.
Discussing what might go wrong if I don't maintain it; what could go wrong? At 10 bar rated pressure seal, the oil won't be going anywhere. As far as wear, it is minimal. The gear train on the SD only moves in one direction. This reduces wear significantly. But even if over a very long period of time it does experience wear then it'll probably start to run a little faster. This wouldn't or shouldn't be a problem because the SD electromagnetic braking system will slow it down to match the quartz timing mechanism inside so that it still maintains a 1 minute a year accuracy. Lets say I get 35 years out of it before I have to service it. So what? I avoided 6 service intervals at savings of about $4800 dollars. I'll just buy a used one from someone that did maintain it or I'll spend $1500 to fix whatever happened to it and go another 35 years.
I've heard, but not sure if this is true, that some watch collectors of old watches actually prize an old watch with an original factory seal; don't know if it is true or not. As far as durability, you may want to watch this video of the testing that Seiko went through with Cal Poly State University to see if the SD would hold up in space before they produced the Spacewalk Spring Drive. It's pretty impressive.

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger had dinner and a gym session with troops in Iraq Monday as part of a morale-boosting trip to the war-torn region.
The bodybuilder-turned Hollywood actor-turned politician was greeted by cheers and applause as he went into the dining hall at Camp Victory on Baghdad's outskirts. He congratulated the troops, shook hands and signed autographs, then posed for some snapshots with some of the starstruck soldiers.
Next on the schedule was a bit of iron-pumping with the troops. As if they needed to hear it, he reminded them about the importance of staying fit with a version of the familiar phrase coined in the SNL skits: "You have to pump up every day."
It wasn't all just exercise and eating for Schwarzenegger. He also had presents for the troops -- cigars, which he handed out to the crowd. He thanked the troops for their sacrifices they and their families are making.
Schwarzenegger has a military background. He was a tank driver in the Austrian army in 1965. He admits to going temporarily AWOL during basic training so he could compete in a bodybuilding competition (which he won). The governor still owns an Austrian tank and last year had it shipped to California from an Ohio museum.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) Jacksonville's locker room had a much different feel Sunday afternoon.
The sound system was thumping. Coach Mike Mularkey was chest-bumping everyone around. And players were downright giddy about getting two days off.
No doubt, winning provided some much-needed relief for the Jaguars.
Chad Henne threw two touchdown passes, sparking the NFL's worst offense for the second consecutive week, and the Jaguars beat the Tennessee Titans 24-19. Jacksonville (2-9) snapped a seven-game losing streak and was competitive at home for the first time in six games.
``It's good to have something good happen, really good,'' said Mularkey, who rewarded players by giving them Monday and Tuesday off. ``They needed that. A lot of people needed that. It was well earned.''
Henne was the key.
Making his first start in more than 13 months, Henne found Cecil Shorts III for a 59-yard touchdown in the third quarter and hooked up with rookie Justin Blackmon for a 7-yard score in the fourth. It was similar to what he did last week at Houston, when he came off the bench in place of injured starter Blaine Gabbert and threw for 354 yards and four touchdowns.
``Hopefully this builds confidence for everybody throughout these next five games, builds new life,'' said Henne, who hadn't won a start since December 2010.
Henne completed 17 of 26 passes for 261 yards, most of them to Shorts (4 catches for 105 yards) and Blackmon (5 for 62). Shorts set a franchise record with his fourth reception of at least 50 yards this season, surpassing the previous mark set by Keenan McCardell in 1998 and tied by Jimmy Smith the following year.
``It just seems that everything is clicking right now,'' Blackmon said.
It was far from perfect, though. Henne's first pass was tipped and intercepted. He also was sacked seven times, including two instances that took the Jaguars out of field-goal range.
But he made up for those mistakes with clutch throws, the kind Jacksonville had been missing much of the season - especially at home.
The Jaguars were outscored 153-44 in five losses at EverBank Field. They trailed 3-0 after Henne's interception, but slowly seized control by holding the Titans to field goals most of the day.
Tennessee had the ball inside Jacksonville's 25-yard line six times - and came away with just one touchdown.
Rob Bironas made four field goals and was wide left from 42 yards away. His miss loomed large late in the game.
The Titans (4-7) cut the lead to 21-19 on Jake Locker's 6-yard pass to Kenny Britt with 4:52 remaining and had the ball with a chance to take the lead. But linebacker Russell Allen tipped Locker's pass over the middle, and safety Dwight Lowery - back on the field after a five-week absence - hauled in his first interception of the season.
Josh Scobee's 41-yard field goal with 24 seconds remaining left the Titans in desperation mode for the final few snaps.
Locker completed 23 of 40 passes for 261 yards, with a touchdown and two interceptions. His final heave was picked off.
Chris Johnson ran 21 times for 80 yards, including a 31-yard run on Tennessee's lone touchdown drive.
The talk in the Titans' locker room afterward, though, focused on being flat despite having two weeks to prepare.
``I don't think guys expected to come in here and just walk out and win the game,'' coach Mike Munchak said. ``Every team in the NFL is a good football team. If you don't think that, you're mistaken. I don't think our team prepared that way. I don't think we came here with that mindset today. We just didn't execute as well as we needed to to win the game.''
The Titans had won two in a row on the road and looked to stay in the playoff hunt with a win after their bye week. Now, they're probably a long shot in the AFC postseason picture.
``This makes it tougher and tougher to keep your playoff hopes alive when you drop games like this,'' linebacker Zach Brown said. ``We felt like this was a game where we were supposed to win.''
NOTES: The Jaguars lost three defensive starters: CBs Derek Cox (hamstring) and Aaron Ross (dehydration) did not play the second half, and DE Austen Lane (leg) came out late. ... The Titans are now 3-2 in games decided by seven points or less this season.

This just in: Michigan wins the Sugar Bowl by 3; Mitt wins the GOP Bowl by 8. By all accounts, both were ugly wins.
Here's a recap on Michigan's strategy for a win:
Let's begin on fourth-and-1 near midfield in the fourth quarter, when Virginia Tech had two options and went for the third.
Which is not unlike Mitt's victory strategy: Iowans had thirteen options and went for two.
Meanwhile, Big Guy went back to Iowa for a victory lap via a web-exclusive address arranged by his techno-geek whiz-kids who have super-fantabulous social media skills.
"President Obama tried to steal a piece of the Iowa spotlight tonight with a nostalgia-filled live address to his Democratic supporters over the internet, at times hampered by static and sporadic audio interruptions that made him difficult to understand."
I dunno, techie-boyz: next time I might just go with Skype
I don't want to rain on Devin Dwyer's parade, butt I don't really think that the "static and sporadic audio interruptions" made Big Guy that much harderer to understand than usual:
Butt I will say this: Mitt wins on the "rockin' a pair of mom jeans" front:
As for rockin' a boob belt, well, you decide. Butt keep in mind, Ann really doesn't really know very much about boob-belts yet so she's sportin' it on her waist. How fashion backward is that?
Back to the caucuses though: 25,000 Iowans showed up last night at Democratic caucuses to watch Big Guy on the Big Screen. And while that's impressive, it's 215,000 fewer than showed up back in 2008, the year BO was nostalgically recalling. That year, 240,000 Iowans showed up at the Caucuses, and over 90,000 of them voted for Big Guy. Butt since we weren't running against Hillary and John Edwards this time around we didn't need to bus in our auxiliary staff and caucutators. So the numbers were down slightly, like 90%.
What a difference a caucus makes
See what I mean? The years have not been kind to everyone:
Smile John, pretend it's not a mugshot
Smile Hil, pretend you're not a hot mess working for your most despised enemy…
Some of us seem to have weathered the shoals of a brutal election cycle just fine, managing to keep our chins up somehow.
Lady M and Big Guy working the Iowans at the 2008 Jefferson-Jackson Day pre-caucus Dinner
Yes, some of us look even better now than we did four years ago.
I attribute it all to healthy living -
…and being proud of your country for the first time in your adult life.
What else could it be?
I mean besides makeup, photoshop and cosmetic chops?

TSO, the company behind publishing solutions for the UK public sector, has announced the release into the developer community of what is believed to be the most feature-rich web-based SPARQL editor available, the Flint SPARQL Editor.
SPARQL itself is a query language and a protocol for accessing RDF designed by the W3C RDF Data Access Working Group. Unlike many existing web-based SPARQL query-building tools, which lack abilities such as context dependent autocompletion or syntax checking, Flint encompasses many of the features developers would expect of traditional development environments and code parsers, through its web implementation.
Currently, those submitting SPARQL queries via a web page are generally presented with a bland text box, which can make the process very frustrating and time consuming for less experienced users, especially if they have a limited understanding of the SPARQL language or the structure of the RDF endpoints they are working with.
Flint 0.5 overcomes these challenges through a variety of context-sensitive features, as well as automatically establishing the properties and classes of CORS-enabled endpoints, when available, and presenting these as collections to the user. Flint can be easily incorporated into any web page.
"We believed that web-based SPARQL editors had woefully underserved the community and in some respects were holding back its mainstream development; that was our starting point for developing Flint," said Terry Blake, technical services director at TSO.
"We wanted to see how feature-rich we could make a web-based SPARQL editor, so that it helped users to code, rather than simply being a vehicle that offered no assistance, checking, or support for executing code on a dataset.
"As the community grows and RDF makes its way into organizations across the globe, SPARQL needs to be accessible by all manner of users, with as few barriers to entry as possible. Flint is the start of our journey to make that happen. We're looking forward to getting feedback from the community on this version of Flint," Blake concluded.
There are many more features planned for inclusion in future versions of Flint such as name autocompletion, semantic consistency checking, and dataset-specific help.
Flint is being made available under the terms of the MIT free software license (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), and incorporates the CodeMirror 2 JavaScript library.

…to the UMass Dartmouth family!
I'm Cynthia Cummings, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs. I'd like to invite you to partner with the University's faculty, administration, and staff in creating a vibrant campus community where your student will thrive academically, socially, culturally, physically, and spiritually.
Like you, we are dedicated to your student's development as a whole person — a person who can think critically, act decisively, care compassionately, and live ethically.
As partners, it's important that we have regular and ongoing communication. We want to hear from you about what's working for your student and what's not working. We know that your student will experience stress and frustration along with joy, excitement, and pride in his or her accomplishments. We also know that you will experience the highs and lows of your student's life in a way that only a parent can.
There are many people on campus who can help you and your student as you face the challenges of young adulthood together. As adults, it's important that students find the answers to questions and the solutions to problems on their own. However, the staff of the Division of Student Affairs is here to work with you any time you believe that your student needs your assistance or even if you just need a helpful ear.
Communication goes both ways. Therefore, you should expect to hear from us throughout the year. I will keep you informed about campus news and events, outstanding programs and opportunities for students, and ways that you can get involved in the life of the campus. To ensure that you receive ongoing communications from me, please sign up for parent and guardian email.
We look forward to developing a productive partnership with you. By working together, we will increase the likelihood that your student will succeed at the University and in life.
You may contact me at 508.910.6402 or at email@example.com

The Horrors Of Slavery -Page 8
Author: Wedderburn, Robert
Medium: Letterpress
Date: 1824
Extract from Robert Wedderburn's "The Horrors of Slavery." Wedderburn was born in Jamaica in 1762 and was the illegitimate son of James Wedderburn, a wealthy Scottish plantation owner, and Rosanna, an enslaved woman who worked on the estate. In this extract he describes his feelings for his mother, who remained enslaved throughout her life. He also describes the correspondence published in the Times in 1824 between himself and James Wedderburn's legitimate son, who disputed Robert?s claim to the family name.

Fair trade, handmade Himalayan crystal salt lamps are a beautiful way to enhance your environment and enjoy an aesthetically pleasing soft warm glow in any room of your home or office. Equal parts home decor and wellness tool, this Himalayan salt lamp (made from 250 million-year-old ancient salt crystal) emits an ambient glow and negative ions which naturally recharge the air and allergens. We import all of our salt through a long-term direct relationship that creates mutual accountability. Our partners observe fair trade principles including 25% greater than average wages and human rights such as rest breaks, chilled water, protective clothing, safe working environments and medical care. You can be assured that our talented artisans are respected and cared for as valuable members of the So Well team. And you're doing So Well for others, while enjoying our products.
Crystal salt is hygroscopic, meaning that it absorbs moisture. The heat from the bulb keeps the lamps dry and produces the negative ion emission, so try to keep your lamp lit as often as possible. In the alternative, if you're in a particularly humid area, place near an air conditioning vent to help reduce the moisture collected. Keep your lamp on a flat surface that can be easily cleaned, and protected if your environment produces excess moisture in your lamps. When necessary, wipe lamp down gently with a damp cloth.
So Well's salt products are hand-carved in the Himalayan foothills by dedicated craftsmen working from a solid, pure piece of salt crystal that remained untouched for millions of years. Our products are produced in a facility that follows fair trade principles. They are designed to beautify your environment and gently cleanse the air. Each lamp is one of a kind; colors, tone, shapes and sizes may vary from the pictures. Each lamp comes complete with dimmer cords and light bulbs.
Purify the air in your home and rejuvenate your senses with the negative ions from this unique, Himalayan salt lamp. Our crystal salt lamps are carved by hand from solid blocks of pure rock crystal salt excavated from pristine sea beds in the Himalayan Mountains. The gentle glow of light and the beauty of the crystal's natural shape add a peaceful atmosphere to your home. Walking on the beach is a refreshing experience that reinvigorates your mind while soothing your body. Now it's possible to recreate that same feeling with our Himalayan crystal salt lamps.
Made in Pakistan. Crystal salt lamp with wooden base. Available in Amber, White or Grey. Crafted with salt crystal, wood. Includes cord, 15 watt bulb, box and care instructions. Harvested sustainably. Reusable, recyclable and eco-friendly packaging. Meets Fair Trade and sustainability standards.
AHAlife is committed to help you live a conscious and inspired life.
Many of the items you discover here are exclusive to AHAlife, which is what makes our community of designers and artisans so special.
If you find one of our products anywhere else for less than it's being sold on our site, we will match it.

Contrary to the Feb. 16 guest column in the Times-News, �Where�s the scientific proof about fluoride?�, there is a substantial amount of peer-reviewed scientific literature indicating that the health risks of fluoride far outweigh any benefits.
As early as 1986, an article in the premiere scientific journal �Nature� called for more rigorous study into �the alleged enormous benefits of fluoridation� as dental caries were dropping in both fluoridated and non-fluoridated communities worldwide (Diesendorf, 1986); 2004 World Health Organization data support this fact. Since, many communities worldwide have done a thorough investigation and have halted community water fluoridation (81 have stopped in the past two years alone). Most industrialized countries do not fluoridate their water supplies including 97 percent of western Europe, Japan, and China. Many provinces / municipalities in Canada, Australia, and the U.S. are following suit.
The �fluoride� added to our water supply, hydrofluosilicic acid, is a waste product of the phosphate fertilizer industry. Fluoride has been found to affect reaction time and visuospatial organization in children that may affect their attention process and reading and writing abilities (Calderon, 2000). In 2000, noting the numerous scientific studies demonstrating the negative health effects of fluoride (including six brain studies), Dr. J. William Hirsy, the senior vice president of the EPA headquarters union made a passionate plea to Congress to halt water fluoridation until the safety of these chemicals could be established. A recent study demonstrated increased blood lead levels in children exposed to fluoride (Coplan et al., 2007). A Harvard scientist demonstrated decreased IQ in children exposed to fluoridated water (Choi, 2012) with comment on the Harvard School of Public Health website proclaiming �this risk should not be ignored, and that more research on fluoride�s impact on the developing brain is warranted.�
Children are not the only ones at risk. A government report from 1993 indicated �subsets of the population may be unusually susceptible to the toxic effects of fluoride and its compounds. These populations include the elderly, people with deficiencies of calcium, magnesium, and/or vitamin C, and people with cardiovascular and kidney problems.� Our pets are also at risk; in Pagosa Springs, Colo., chronic fluoride poisoning from the municipal water supply was responsible for the illness and deaths of multiple show horses (Justus, 2006; Krook, 2006).
There is far more evidence than can be supplied here; I would be happy to provide the full articles mentioned here and much more scientific literature on the hazards of ingesting fluoride. Fluoride is not an essential nutrient. It is well established that any benefit of fluoride is topical. Ingesting fluoride to prevent tooth decay has been compared to drinking sunscreen to prevent sunburn; it just does not make sense.
As the evidence mounts, chemical companies that supply hydrofluosilicic acid have begun to put disclaimers on their MSDS sheets. The state of New Hampshire has voted that a statement be added in a water system�s consumer confidence report if the water supply is fluoridated; and a New York City councilman has proposed legislation to put fluoride warnings on water bills to alert consumers to the hazards of mixing baby formula with tap water.
More than 4,000 scientists and health professionals, myself included, have signed a national petition calling for the cessation of water fluoridation. There has been no safety studies on human ingestion of hydrofluosilicic acid. Please do check the facts. Once you do, you won�t want to drink the water!

Agree mostly with your points and yes, many websites look the same. If a designer uses a few shiny gradients and drop shadows he/she thinks they've created something great. Usually not the case. BUT…I design a lot of web applications which require user many types of user interface elements. Using gradients and drop shadows just for the sake is silly but using in a thoughtful way which improves UI is important.
I looked through your portfolio and have seen and like your work but you're not designing user interface / application style websites. When you do, you'll see the "web 2.0/gradients/shadows/depth" are pretty necessary – which isn't the case for the sites you've worked on. At least nothing I see in your portfolio.
So what I'm trying to get at is there are multiple styles of web design, some work for certain brands/types of sites and some don't.
So before we lament that web 2. 0 is crap maybe we should redefine what web 2.0 is?

AMAZING pep rally for the 2007 NL East Champions!! It was really hard getting pictures because I had tons of tall people in front of me waving the rally towels. :) It was the largest pep rally crowd in Philadelphia ever, with people as far as the eye could see, so good thing we got there an hour before so my viewpoint wasn't really that bad. After the introduction of the players, I was able to get better pictures of them standing on the stage & making speeches, though some were blocked from my view. All pictures are copyright Heather Winfield.

Whilst I was in London I visited in Covent Garden, which is a nice little shop to visit and as a added bonus they always ask if I'm a student,
"Awww shucks. I still look like a student." Hmmm…maybe.
I love cream eyeshadows, and is a creamy, rich shadow that comes in 13 shades in a 5ml bottle.
I choose White Gold and Purple. The purple is a very true, rich purple with a warm tone to it and the white gold really looks beautiful in the light. They cost about £5.50 each.
But alas – this was not to be a HG product. Whilst the colour is pigmented and the two I choose look good, I also found that they dry quite badly if you don't blend fast. The first few times I used the white as a base it was congealing-city, with horrible messy edges and I had to take it off, take it all off.
I also found that it takes a while to dry and when it does, it creases. Especially if you are building up the colour so that you get a strong look – crease, crease, crease.
I've always wondered why Kryolan is so hard to love (for me anyway). Every shade under the sun, stage quality make up that should have longevity to die for, but I don't feel it, I don't like this product at all and I don't see the transition into high street/day to day womens make up happening with such crapola (by the way, they make the shadows for Illamasqua…perhaps that is their dabble into mainstream make up?).
Verdict: 2/5 – You are pigmented, but if I can't even use you as a base, what good are you, oh cream eyeshadow?

Mariners, A's to open '12 MLB season in JapanMar 02 (Fri ), 2012
Mariners, A's to open '12 MLB season in Japan
Proceeds from two-game series will assist nation's rebuilding efforts
Major League Baseball will open its 2012 season on March 28-29 in Japan with two games between the Seattle Mariners (the "road" team) and the Oakland Athletics (the "home" team). Both of these teams are highly popular with Japanese baseball fans. This is the fourth season opener in Japan, and the first since the 2008 opener which was held at the Tokyo Dome, where this year's games will also take place.
The two-game series is dedicated to assisting the rebuilding efforts as Japan continues its difficult recovery from the catastrophic events of last March, when an earthquake and tsunami wreaked unimaginable destruction across a wide swath of northeastern Japan and its after effects reverberated around the globe.
The series is made possible through the support of Nippon Professional Baseball and Yomiuri.

Charles Lloyd
With a new release on ECM, saxophonist Charles Lloyd, now 72, was the must-see act at this year's London Jazz Festival. The 'psychedelic jazz' icon of the 1960s talks to Neil McKim
In the 1960s your quartet was labelled a 'psychedelic jazz group'. Do you have a particular memory of becoming part of the musical counter culture?
It was a time of very high energy and high ideals. A few years ago I was talking to [guitarist] Carlos Santana and he was telling me how much my concerts meant to him. He said he would be in the front row shouting 'Free the people, Charles, free the people!'. During this period, FM radio had become free-form – you could hear my music, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, and Ravi Shankar on the same show. In the '60s the US and England had an exchange agreement. When we went to the UK to perform, the Beatles came to the US – that was the exchange part. Later, when I was touring England with the quartet with Keith Jarrett, Jack DeJohnette, and Cecil McBee, I was told that John Lennon showed up to a press conference with 'Charles Lloyd' written across his top hat.
How did the recording of your latest ECM disc Mirror come about?
Last December (2009), we had a concert at Disney Hall in Los Angeles. After the concert my wife, Dorothy, suggested we head back home to Santa Barbara with the quartet and go into the studio to record in a very relaxed way. I wanted to reign in some of the energy of a live performance. We recorded Mirror at Santa Barbara Sound Design [studio] in about a day and half.
You've got a couple of Thelonious Monk tunes on the disc. Did you ever play with him?
No – it has been a big regret in my life. His manager called me one day and said, 'Monk wants to play with you.' I said, 'Great. Have him give me a call.' I was young and did not understand intermediaries. Of course, Monk did not make these calls, his manager did. We shared a double bill many times, but I never played with him. This is my homage to one of the greatest architects of this music.
Why have you included the composition by Beach Boy Brian Wilson?
I recorded on some of the Beach Boy albums – Surf's Up and Holland. [Beach Boy] Mike Love and I are born on the same birthday… And Brian Wilson was very generous to let me use his studio during my exile years. His compositions are very rich harmonically, and I have always loved the melody of 'Caroline, No'.
The artwork of Mirror is interesting, showing the photographer on the cover and yourself on the reverse. Was that your idea?
[The photographer] Dorothy Darr has done all of my covers on ECM. She comes up with these ideas, but in the earlier version of Mirror, I was on the cover. It was [ECM founder] Manfred Eicher's suggestion to reverse the order to make it more mysterious.
What were you listening to that got you into jazz in the first place?
I was listening to Charlie Parker, who was the first big influence on my playing, and Lady Day [Billie Holiday] and Prez [Lester Young]. I would listen to them late into the night. I kept a radio under my pillow at all times, and they were my constant companions and inspiration. Being from Memphis, we were surrounded by blues musicians, but a lot of jazz bands came through town, Duke Ellington, Lionel Hampton, Cab Calloway, Louis Armstong, Dizzy Gillespie, Billy Eckstine, Dinah Washington. Since there were no hotels for blacks, my mother rented out rooms to musicians. I would get up at the crack of dawn every morning waiting for them to come down. Then I would pounce on them to try and learn about the music.

Ensure that document matches include...
...all of these word(s):
...and optionally include these word(s):
...but do not have these word(s):
Enter your phrase:
Enter the first few characters of a word:
There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.
Boolean Operators
You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
example search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
example search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.
example search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
Wildcard/Prefix queries
You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.

HIV Partner Notification
Almost 17,000 cases of HIV infection were identified throughout New York state during the last seven months of 2000, according to a report released Friday as required by a recent law.
Of the 16,866 cases reported, the State Health Department said 2,817 were initial HIV diagnoses; 9,036 were known HIV cases reported to the state for the first time; and 5,013 were initial AIDS diagnoses, all from June 1 to December 31, 2000.
"The case reporting law has been in effect for almost two years, and this is the first instance of state data related to HIV that our state has had," said Michael Kink, legislative counsel for Housing Works, an AIDS advocacy organization. "We've tracked and reported AIDS cases prior to now. This is the first time we know how many HIV infections."
However, patients aren't required to tell who they've had sex with. "They basically give folks a chance to tell their contacts themselves, but they also offer for public health officials to make those contacts as well," Kink said. "Most people do not want to notify their contacts."
The Health Department said 1,383 partners were notified of their possible exposure. "This law is saving lives," said state Sen. Guy Vella, a Bronx Republican. The department is still processing the HIV reports for 2001, but it estimates there are approximately 130,000 cases of infection statewide.
The data show a greater proportion of females among newly diagnosed HIV cases, more younger people and more blacks than among AIDS cases, the department said.

Pushing the Envelope on Actinide Speciation
Distinguished scientist compares the relationship of ions in solution and in solid state
Lynda Soderholm
At the Hanford Site in southeastern Washington State, underground tanks were built to hold nuclear weapons production waste. Some of the older single-shell tanks have leaked waste to the environment. This waste interacts with the soil and groundwater in ways that are poorly understood at a fundamental molecular level. Enlarge Image
At sites in the United States, the former Soviet Union, and elsewhere, nuclear weapons production waste interacts with groundwater and soil in ways that are poorly understood at a fundamental molecular level. These interactions are important because they determine if plutonium will ultimately stay in the soil or follow the groundwater into nearby rivers. Dr. Lynda Soderholm is working to understand the structure and reactivity of plutonium and other actinide species, as she explained at the Frontiers in Geochemistry Seminar Series at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
Employing HEXS provides new data on actinide behavior. A senior chemist at Argonne National Laboratory and an adjunct professor at the University of Notre Dame, Soderholm discussed her approach to probing the atomic-level structures of actinide ions in water using high-energy x-ray scattering (HEXS). Unlike many other techniques, HEXS provides details about the distribution of electrons in the outer sphere of the ions, those farthest away from the nucleus.
With the 90-kiloelectronvolt technique, changes to the electron distribution and their involvement in bonds is determined with the precision necessary to provide quantitative data for thermodynamic calculations. Using HEXS, Soderholm's team is beginning to understand the behavior of tetravalent actinide ions; that is, ions that can form four electron-sharing bonds, in water. The approach provides information on ion binding directly to a solid surface without intervening water molecules, within an error of about 2%. This work is opening the door to explain the wide ranging, often intractable, chemistries associated with dissolved actinide ions in groundwater.
PNNL postdoc and Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory user Frannie Skomurski explains her excitement for attending Soderholm's seminar. "She is a forward-thinking chemist who pushes the envelope by applying a variety of powerful experimental tools to challenge and expand our knowledge of different actinide systems. I always enjoy learning about her research."
About Lynda Soderholm: Professor Lynda Soderholm is world-renowned for her expertise in heavy element and separation science. At Argonne National Laboratory, she is a research chemist, the director for the Actinide Facility, Group Leader of f-Electron Interactions, and co-recipient of a DOE Materials Science Research Competition for Outstanding Scientific Accomplishments in Solid-State Physics. Her research interests include solid-state synthesis and the characterization of f-element compounds, their electronic properties and their influence on structural, magnetic, and conducting properties, including the high-Tc superconductors.
