Filing for bankruptcy can be very beneficial choice for some, and a terribly devasting one for others. Obtaining the protection of a bankruptcy order is a civil right that you can enforce when your level of debt has become so unmanageable, and the prospect of you repaying it so impossible, that it is the only reasonable course of action.
There is an alternative called an IVA, which is arguably a much more suitable choice if you have a property (that's in equity) that you want to keep, or vehicles worth more than £2,500. Unlike bankruptcy an IVA protects your assets, and is a contract between you and your creditors agreeing upon monthly instalments for a period of 5 years.
When facing insolvency it is worth considering both options, but whichever you choose, they both adversely affect your credit rating in the same way and they both provide a way to lift the burden of debt.

Wolves Snap 16-Game Skid At San Antonio
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The regular season finale against the Minnesota Timberwolves was meaningless to San Antonio. Still, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich called two timeouts within 30 seconds early in the first quarter to stress assignments.
"Just like any coach, you want to improve everything that you're doing," Popovich said. "There isn't a lot of time between now and Sunday, so we want to be healthier and we'll continue to work on executing at both ends of the court. It's a game of mistakes. Nobody is perfect in what they do. You just go to work and keep preparing."
The Spurs, who previously clinched the Western Conference's second seed, have a lot of work to do after losing their third straight and fourth in five games to close the season.
Derrick Williams had 21 points to help the Timberwolves beat the Spurs 108-95 Wednesday night, ending a 16-game losing streak at San Antonio.
Chase Budinger added 15 points and Greg Stiemsma and Ricky Rubio had 12 points apiece for Minnesota, which won on the Spurs' home court for the first time since Jan. 14, 2004.
"It feels great," said J.J. Barea, who had 10 points. "To beat a team like San Antonio here in San Antonio feels great. It is a good win and good feeling for the team."
The Spurs don't share that sentiment entering the postseason.
San Antonio opens the playoffs Sunday by hosting the Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets or the Los Angeles Lakers. The Rockets and Lakers were playing later Wednesday night. If the Lakers win, they earn the seventh seed. If the Rockets win and the Warriors lose to Portland, Houston becomes the sixth seed and Golden State falls to seventh.
San Antonio is 3-6 in April, having lost to possible first-round opponents Golden State and the Lakers in that stretch.
Tim Duncan had 17 points and 14 rebounds, Gary Neal also scored 17 points and Tony Parker had 15 points and eight assists for the Spurs.
Duncan, Parker and Manu Ginobili did not play in the final quarter.
The Timberwolves outscored the Spurs 52-34 in the second half as Minnesota was 12 for 29 on 3-pointers.
"We know what we can be," Duncan said. "We've done it all season long. We've done it for years. … It's about doing it consistently and doing it on the defensive end. We haven't been good defensively for the last however many games. So, hopefully, our focus coming into these playoffs is going to change."
The Timberwolves opened the second half on a 9-2 run to take a 65-63 lead en route to the victory.
Ginobili, who had not played since straining his right hamstring March 29 against the Los Angeles Clippers, received a rousing ovation when he entered the game with 5:32 left in the first quarter.
He had two points on 1-for-4 shooting with two assists and one rebound in 12 minutes.
Ginobili had an immediate impact, feeding Neal for a 3 that cut Minnesota's lead to 20-16 with 5 minutes left.
Ginobili later wrapped a bounce pass to Duncan, who was stride for stride in a full sprint with Chris Johnson, which resulted in a three-point play following a layup.
The play energized the Spurs, who scored five more points as part of a 12-2 run to take a 50-46 lead with 3:23 left in the first half.
After scoring only four points in the opening 21 minutes, Parker had the final 11 points of the half for San Antonio. He was only 3 for 9 from the field, but was 9 for 9 on free throws.
Duncan tied the game at 24 with consecutive layups, but Rubio and Budinger hit consecutive 3s to give Minnesota a 30-24 lead to end the first.
The Timberwolves were 5 for 10 on 3s in the opening quarter.
"If you compete you have a chance and tonight was one of those nights," Minnesota coach Rick Adelman said. "We shot the 3-pointers and whenever we shoot the ball well from 3, we generally have a pretty good chance.
"They have to get ready for next week and we're going to finish on a positive note."

For many people, email takes up more time than just about anything else. It's entirely too easy to spend hours or even a whole day catching up.
According to Don Tapscott, an author, strategy consultant, and Professor at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management, that's a big problem. Email is all about containing knowledge, putting it in defined boxes. That's the wrong way to go about it. Information and knowledge are much more powerful when people can easily access it, then collaborate and build upon it.
We need something better in the 21st century. Here's how Tapscott puts it, in an interview with the McKinsey Quarterly:
"So, there's a big change that's underway right now in rethinking knowledge management. It's really moving toward what I would call content collaboration, as opposed to trying to stick knowledge into a box where we can access it. E-mail is sort of like what Mark Twain said about the weather. Everybody's talking about it, and nobody's doing anything about it. We have to get rid of e-mail.
You need to have a new collaborative suite where, rather than receiving 50 e-mails about a project, you go there and you see what's new. All the documents that are pertinent to that project are available. You can create a new subgroup to talk about something. You can have a challenge or an ideation or a digital brainstorm to advance the interests of that project. You can co-create a document on a wiki. You can microblog the results of this to other people in the corporation who need to be alerted."
Email ends up being a time waster, as are most meetings designed to inform people. Because knowledge and information are locked away in inboxes and remain unshared, emails beget more emails which beget meetings and more meetings. Most of both of those things are unnecessary if you build intuitive, useful collaboration platforms.
The internet gives us the opportunity to do things faster and more efficiently. Yet our primary tool is something designed, in many ways, to do the opposite.
It's an inevitable process Tapscott argues, and the earlier companies realize it, the better. "The train has left the station. The horse is out of the barn, he said. "We're not going back on this. And I hope that a decade from now, electronic mail will be a vague memory in our minds and we'll be using these tools to collaborate much more effectively."

Bergevin, Murray, Shero named GM award finalists
New York, NY – Montreal's Marc Bergevin, Bob Murray of Anaheim and Pittsburgh's Ray Shero have been named the finalists for the NHL's General Manager of the Year award.
Bergevin, in his first season as an NHL general manager, helped the Canadiens to the biggest turnaround in the league. Montreal was 15th in the Eastern Conference last season and finished second with a Northeast Division title in the shortened 2013 season.
Murray's Ducks had nearly the same scenario in the Western Conference. Anaheim was 13th in the West last season and finished second this year with a Pacific Division title.
Both the Canadiens and Ducks were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
Shero made some of the biggest deals during the season that helped the Penguins to the top seed in the Eastern Conference. He acquired Jarome Iginla from Calgary, Brenden Morrow from Dallas and Jussi Jokinen from Carolina in deals leading up to the trade deadline.
The winner will be announced during the Stanley Cup Finals.

Lately my greatest love has been Kdramas (Korean television dramas). One day I stumbled upon one (Shut Up and Let's Go) on Netflix, and from that point forth they're basically all I watch. I won't go on about them too much, because I realize romantic melodrama isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I will say there's one I love so much I decided to create a mini event around it, to both celebrate and soften the blow of the series' finale.
Innocent, comedic (both intentional and unintentional) and immensely heartwarming, Boys Over Flowers started as a guilty pleasure, but now I'll unashamedly state that it's one of the best programs I've ever seen. It can be described as a modern-day Cinderella story with multiple princes, or else Twilight without the supernatural aspects and far better acting–but however you put it, it's basically the story of a poor girl who steals the hearts of a bunch of self-absorbed, out-of-touch rich dudes, and a long, overly-complicated love triangle ensues.
This past weekend I prepared a Boys Over Flowers-themed picnic (I sure do love me a themed party, dinner, anything). Nothing too over-the-top, but with themed food and attire. With my personal motto being "the more dramatic the better," my original intention was to cosplay as the lead character, Geum Jan-di, but my school uniform was a bit too slow shipping from Japan, so plans changed. Instead, my friend and I donned summery outfits inspired and color-coordinated to match our favorite male counterparts of the show's love triangle. Here's Alisha's light and lovely Yoon Ji-hoo attire.
And I, always clad in black and a fan of the bad boy in any love story, wore a look inspired by character, Goo Jun-pyo.

The Pajama Diaries is a humorous, art-imitating-life daily and Sunday comic strip. It centers on Jill Kaplan, an independent and introspective suburban mother, as she balances her career as a freelance graphic designer and family life with her husband Rob and their two young daughters, Amy and Jess.
A relatable protagonist, Jill narrates her daily adventures in a journal format. The strip provides readers with an intimate and candid view of modern marriage, work, and motherhood. Readers relate to Jill's inner dialog and contemporary struggle to be all things to all people.
Amys beat-up stuffed elephant who tags along everywhere.
See: adopted third child.
Rob's old-fashioned grandmother who enjoys reminding Jill about the virtues of being the ideal homemaker.

Jill's husband, a quiet, laid-back logical thinker. In other words, the antithesis to Jill. An I.T. guy, he's there to lend Jill support, both emotional and technical. His only downfall is his persistent need for relations with his worn-out wife. What's up with that?
Jill and Rob's two rambunctious daughters who age in real time. Amy, as a preteen asserting her independence, tries to prove she's in command of the household.
Jess when not fighting with her sister acts as her wing-girl.

A 7-year-old girl is the new face of an anti-speeding campaign in Fairfax County.
Anais Knight alerted an officer that people are driving way too fast in her Mount Vernon neighborhood.
So, Fairfax County Police traffic units paid the community a visit with a warning to all drivers.
"Why do you think they ignore it?" Anais was asked.
"Ignore the signs? Well I don't know, but it's probably because they like speeding because most of them are teenagers or 26 year olds."
A few weeks ago, the sassy and sweet 7-year-old spotted officer Robert Urps at Fort Hunt Elementary School.
Anias asked for help, so Urps sent over the traffic unit.
"People just forget what they are doing and don't pay attention so if this can just get attention out there and slow people down, then it has done its job," Urps said.
Turns out, the traffic unit was already working on a summer speeding campaign. And the officers realized Anais was the perfect spokesperson.
"She loves being in the front yard," said Anais's father, Nicholas Knight. "In the summertime, we bring out the kiddie pool or the water table, the sprinkler, and there are times cars go by a wee bit too fast."
If those speeders are caught, they could have to pay $67 for court costs and $6 more for each mile above the speed limit.
"I would tell them, slow down, there is a gigantic sign," Anais said. "If you are in a rush, try, try asking a taxi or a professional driver to drive you."

BYOD continues to remain top of mind in the workplace. While many in IT see BYOD as a necessary (and that's debatable) evil that opens the network up to incalculable security risk, users see it as the next logical step for their productivity and efficiency. In some cases, users even go around IT altogether if BYOD is not permitted. The right BYOD program depends on the unique needs for a particular organization. But no matter what sort of program is implemented, it shouldn't be done without first setting up a series of guidelines and best practices. Employees need to understand what will and will not be expected and tolerated from them when using their personal devices both inside and outside the office.
With summer vacations coming to an end, now is a good time to take a fresh look at implementing and managing a BYOD program. The following ABCs of BYOD, identified by LANDesk Software, provide you with some do's and don'ts, pros and cons, for your BYOD program.

In a ruling today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated the 2012 cellulosic biofuel standard, but affirmed the 2012 advanced biofuel standard. "Although we disagree with the court's decision vacating the 2012 cellulosic volumes, today's decision once again rejects broad-brushed attempts to effectively roll back the federal Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS)," said several biofuel organizations in a joint statement. These organizations include the Advanced Biofuels Association, Advanced Ethanol Council, American Coalition for Ethanol, Biotechnology Industry Organization, Growth Energy, and Renewable Fuels Association.
The organizations reported that the court vacated the cellulosic biofuel standard because it believed that EPA had impermissibly set the volume with the objective of promoting growth in the industry rather than simply making an accurate prediction. The biofuels organizations argued that the EPA set the volume based on the best information available at the time. They added that under the court's decision, "EPA is free to reinstate the volumes that it had established, as long as the information available at the time would support the agency's conclusion that those volumes were reasonably achievable. The court's decision does not now require, or permit, EPA to set volumes based on hindsight."
Although the court vacated the cellulosic standard, it also rejected the argument by the American (API) Petroleum Institute that EPA was required to follow the U.S. Energy Information Administration's projections in setting its own, the biofuel organizations reported. "Similarly, the court rejected API's argument that EPA was not entitled to consider information from cellulosic biofuel producers in setting its projection, finding that cellulosic producers were, of course, an almost inevitable source of information for EPA." According to the biofuel organizations, these were important decisions that give EPA flexibility in setting cellulosic biofuel volumes.
The Circuit Court affirmed the EPA's decision not to reduce the advanced biofuel volume, rejecting API's arguments that EPA must support its decision not to reduce the applicable volume of advanced biofuels with specific numerical projections.
The National Biodiesel Board (NBB) stated that it applauded the affirmation of the advanced biofuels standard under the RFS.
"This is just the latest in a series of cases in which the oil industry has tried unsuccessfully to re-litigate the standards for renewable fuels, and it is yet another victory for our nation's shift toward cleaner, more diverse energy supplies," said Anne Steckel, NBB's vice president of federal affairs. "The fact is that the RFS is a very effective program for improving U.S. energy security, creating jobs and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We look forward to working constructively with our partners in the petroleum industry to meet these goals moving forward."

Monday saw two more brokers raise the possibility of a decline in wireless-carrier subsidies for Apple Inc.'s iPhone on Monday – though neither believes the problem is near-term.
Apple shares slipped about 1% in morning trades to $566, likely in part due to a broad-market sell-off that clipped nearly 150 points from the Dow. But Monday's trades came after a rough ride for Apple, which has now lost more than 12% since topping out at $644 on April 10, as concerns have risen in the market both from the technical side as well as some dynamics for the company's lucrative iPhone business.
One factor weighing on the stock is some worry that wireless carriers will start pushing to lower the subsidies they pay to Apple to sell the iPhone, which some analysts estimate at more than $400 per device (on top of the $200 that a customer pays with a two-year contract). High subsidies for the iPhone have weighed on the bottom lines of all carriers that carry the device in the U.S., including AT&T , Verizon and Sprint .
In a note on Monday, BMO Capital Markets analyst Keith Bachman told clients that a $100 drop on the iPhone subsidy would hurt Apple's earnings-per-share figure for fiscal 2013 by $7.50.
"Broadly speaking, we believe that Apple shareholders have benefited from the growth of the iPhone while services providers and other handset OEM shareholders have not," Bachman wrote, adding the prediction that this dynamic "will not continue for perpetuity."
He maintained a $650 price target on the stock, but predicted that the stock may "consolidate" during the June quarter as iPhone sales see some declines on a quarter-by-quarter basis leading up to the expected launch of the iPhone 5 later in the year.
The telecommunications team at Macquarie also address the question, saying the iPhone subsidies will not likely change in 2012, given that the carriers do not have a lot of viable alternatives and would risk losing share to their rivals – unless all three acted in some sort of collusion to change the subsidy.
"IPhone subsidies are likely to fall in 2013 as lower-cost LTE Android and Windows phones (sub $350 wholesale ASP) and competitive LTE coverage from AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile give all of the carriers more leverage against Apple," Macquarie analysts wrote.

In the last few years, the number of movies with multiple versions has expanded considerably. First came "The IMAX Experience" version of traditional movies, and now quite a few also have 3D variants as well.
A case in point is the last installment of the Harry Potter franchise, where you have the following choices:
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 (the 2D version)
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 3D
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2: An IMAX 3D Experience
If you go to the All Movies page in Now Showing, you'll see plenty of examples of other movies that have 2-3 variations.
That creates a situation where we have lots of duplicated information and a frustrating experience when you are looking for showtimes for the 3D version, but landed on the IMAX 3D version instead. Or, you dislike 3D with a passion, but you have a two in three chance of seeing information for 3D instead of the good old-fashioned no-glasses-required 2D version.
We're not big fans of duplication and frustration, so we set out to tame these multiple versions, and we have released the following enhancements:
- The Showtimes and Movie Information pages now display a list of all the "other" versions of the movie that are available. For example, when you go to the Showtimes page for the 2D version of the movie, you will see the following text just above the showtimes table:
See also Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 3D, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2: An IMAX 3D Experience
- The Trailers & Videos page now collects all the videos available for all the versions of a movie and lists them together. An example of this can be seen on the Trailers & Videos page for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides An IMAX 3D Experience, where previously, there would have been only one trailer listed (in two formats), but now there are over a dozen videos shown on that page.
- A similar approach is taken on the Photo Gallery page. If you go to the Photo Gallery page for Kung Fu Panda 2 3D, where you would have seen just two movie posters, you now get to see the other photos from the movie that are listed under the 2D version as well.
We hope that these improvements will make it easier for our readers to navigate the multiple versions of movies that are currently playing and coming soon!

Suspended Drivers License
The criminal offense of driving while driver's license is suspended or revoked can be prosecuted as a civil infraction, a misdemeanor criminal offense, or even a felony criminal offense. The specific circumstances of each case and how it is prosecuted will depend on whether there is proof the driver knew their driver's license was suspended, why the license was suspended, and whether there are any prior convictions for this offense.
If one is charged with driving while their license is suspended, it is important to consult with an attorney experienced in handling suspended driver's license offenses, who can review your driving history and the applicable law to best advise you on defending against such a charge.
Many times the potential penalties do not appear that severe when one first appears in court. However, in addition to any penalties the court may impose, one needs an attorney who understands how a conviction may affect your driving history and whether the Department of Motor Vehicles/Division of Drivers Licenses will impose their own independent sanctions that may include a lengthy suspension of your privilege to drive.
If you are accused of the offense of driving while license suspended or revoked for any reason, the attorneys at DeThomasis & Buchanan are prepared to evaluate your case and provide effective representation. Each Gainesville criminal defense lawyer at DeThomasis and Buchanan has more than twenty-five years experience representing individuals charged with criminal traffic offenses.

Should Andy Enfield Have Left Florida Gulf Coast for USC? — Sports Survey of the Day
Just a few days after losing to the Florida Gators in the the NCAA Tournament, the Florida Gulf Coast University Eagles also lost their coach. Andy Enfield has left for another job in college basketball.
The University of Southern California offered Enfield a six-year deal worth well over $1,000,000 a year. Going from the Atlantic Sun Conference to the Pac-12 is quite a step up in competition and prestige for Enfield, who led FGCU to the Sweet 16 this year—the first time a 15-seed has ever gone that far—following upset victories over Georgetown and San Diego State.
The question we want to ask is, was this a good move for Enfield? The pay is obviously far superior, but is he going to leave some hurt feelings behind?

Worship of the Golden Calf, Lucas van Leyden, c. 1530
This biblical narrative, showing the Israelites who were disloyal to God by worshipping the golden statue of a calf, was set by Lucas van Leyden in a continuous landscape. The triptych warns against faithlessness and debauchery. The choice of this rare subject is perhaps connected to the rise of Protestantism, with its strong aversion to the Roman Catholic veneration of religious images.

Two thousand performers auditioned Wednesday for "American Idol" at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater.The singers were looking to follow in the footsteps of Kelly Clarkson, the winner of the television talent competition's first season, who almost a year ago was in concert on that same stage.
Two thousand performers auditioned Wednesday for "American Idol" at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater.
The singers were looking to follow in the footsteps of Kelly Clarkson, the winner of the television talent competition's first season, who almost a year ago was in concert on that same stage.
"They're actually going to come in and be singing on the amphitheater stage," Brian Robinson, senior producer with "American Idol," said Wednesday morning before auditions began. "We're excited about that because that's where they should be ending up at the end of this show, so it will be a nice progression from this early audition on the stage to performing with the top 10 next season."
"American Idol," which will soon begin its 13th season, has helped launch the careers of Clarkson, Chris Daughtry, Carrie Underwood, Jordin Sparks and Adam Lambert.
Three of the people who made it to the second round of auditions on Wednesday shared much more than just the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater stage — they shared a guitar.
C.J. Harris, Garrett Nichols and Dexter Roberts all used Roberts' Fender acoustic guitar during their separate auditions. Roberts knew Nichols before the audition and let Harris use the guitar when his guitar string broke while he was standing in line.
"I guess it's got some luck to it, I reckon," Roberts said.
Roberts sang "I Like to Drive" by Casey James a cappella and "Country in My Soul" by Florida Georgia Line accompanied by his guitar. This was the first year "American Idol" allowed auditions with a guitar, which Roberts said made him happy.
"I don't know if it helped," he said. "I feel naked without it because I play all the time."
For the audition, all the singers were brought into the amphitheater and separated into groups of four. Each group performed for the judges and were told whether they made it through. Outside the amphitheater, cheers were heard every time they let another person through to the second round.
Roberts, Harris and Nichols will now have the opportunity to audition with executive producers of "American Idol," with these auditions taking place in various cities on different days.
"I hope it changes my life," Roberts said. "I don't know if I'll make it, but hopefully I do. If I do make it, I want to go and try to be a country music singer."
All of the "American Idol" hopefuls began lining up outside the amphitheater as early as 3 a.m. for their shot at performing for a group of the show's producers.
Kelsey Wilson, 20, was first in line. The audition was the first time Wilson had tried out for a television show.
"I'll be singing 'Summertime' by Fantasia, but I kind of did a little extra here and there — a little opera in there," Wilson said. "It shows my range — hopefully it does."
Although Wilson, a Tuscaloosa native and Stillman College student, didn't make it to the next round of auditions, she said she was praying someone from the city would.
Garrett Nichols, a 16-year-old Tuscaloosa native, sang a Stevie Wonder song that advanced him to the second round of auditions. His dad, Scott Nichols, said Garrett has been singing since he was about 9.
"This is his first time doing an audition, but he has played a lot of shows and competitions as far as talent shows for school," Scott Nichols said.
He said that while they waited for his son's audition, they saw a lot of talent from the crowd that came out in Tuscaloosa. By 1 p.m., about five hours into the audition day, only four people had advanced to the second round.
"There was a ton of talent," Scott Nichols said. "Very surprising that right now only four have made it."
The "American Idol Audition Bus Tour" is stopping in five cities across the South in August. Tuscaloosa marked the third stop on the tour, and the bus will move on to Knoxville, Tenn., on Friday and finally to Winston-Salem, N.C., on Aug. 26.
Robinson said he was happy with the turnout for the Tuscaloosa stop.
"It's great, it looks like the early line is solid and there are a lot of people here. Turnout in Tuscaloosa has been amazing, just lots of enthusiasm, and we're really excited to have the auditions taking place here," he said.

Like the flashy city (Las Vegas) from which its maker hails, TestComplete is a relative newcomer in the field of automated testing, but it boasts features unavailable in other products. For instance, you're not limited to one scripting language—TestComplete supports VBScript, JScript/JavaScript, DelphiScript and C++.
AutomatedQA's tool can test applications written in Java and .NET. TestComplete is COM-based, and uses plug-ins for many of its features. New and updated plug-ins are available on their website, and it's easy for users to write their own. One plug-in allows access to the Win32 API, while others let you use databases via XML, Microsoft's ADO or Borland's BDE. An HTTP Load Testing plug-in puts Web servers through the wringer.
One unique feature of TestComplete is its ability to let your application actually drive its own testing. By linking in one file, your application can replace the TestComplete user interface. You can also run tests on multiple remote computers.
TestComplete proves that what happens in Vegas needn't always stay in Vegas.

A Post-Communist Landscape: Mother Latvia and her Sustainable Countryside
Mother Latvia stands in the center of Latvia's capital Riga and immediately evokes the people's struggle for freedom from Russia, and alternating German and Soviet occupations. Liberty, a woman cast in copper, lifts up three stars representing different Latvian regions and her posture, head slightly bowed and both arms raised high, conveys a sense of sacrifice that Latvians still recall from a not-so-distant past. Having gained independence in 1991, the country now pursues its own desired and expected development.
The Latvian government has committed itself to sustainable development. In the words of former Minister for Environmental Protection and Regional Development of Latvia, His Excellency Edmunds Sprudzs, Latvia is dedicated to "environmentally sound, sustainable policy and growth." However, the definition of what "sustainability" means to the Latvian national identity, and in the face of increasing Western European influence, is up for debate.
After decades of invasion and occupation, rural landscapes are dotted by derelict farms, some of which may appear to be more wild than agricultural after decades of abandonment. The country is marked by large and eerily untouched sanctuaries of land and coastline, which, thanks to historic Soviet dictates that prohibited any access (fishing, farming etc.), now harbor multiple endangered species. As a result, ideas about wild and rural landscapes and how each evokes Latvian national heritage are sources of contention among government officials, rural communities, and international and domestic non-governmental conservation organizations. At the center of these debates is what "Latvianness" is and how landscapes might be managed in that image.
During the 1990s, for example, the fight over sustainable forestry within Latvia was largely driven by the politics of conservation and national identity, namely the tension between two opposing views, "liberal internationalism" and "agrarian nationalism." Conservative forestry officials defended the sustainability of their forestry practices against the reformists' arguments (including those of timber companies) that government practices were ecologically harmful and far from "sustainable." The reform coalition argued for decreased state intervention, and endeavored to facilitate private and foreign owned commercial forestry, thereby revealing a distinct vision for Latvian development. That is, the reformists foresaw a future defined by involvement in international markets, private enterprise, and civil society. Just as the government foresters envisioned their traditional role as protectors of the forest for the Latvian people, so too did the reformists' liberal sustainable development agenda rely on the idea of a peasant's deep respect for nature. Both reflected a national consciousness of the Latvian people derived from a relationship with the land. In several ways, therefore, contention over national identity as embedded in the landscape shaped the debate over how to manage natural resources.
Having studied the emergence of national parks in the United States, I wonder, in creating reserves and attracting Western European tourists to experience its wild and "untouched" nature, will the ecological integrity of Latvia's sanctuaries be jeopardized? And to what extent will Latvian culture (given the multiple definitions of what this is) be commodified by government administrators or non-governmental organizations (NGOs) for international consumption?
To help guide development, NGOs often come to play key roles in coordinating community-based conservation projects. The role of the environmental NGO is complex, and one that I came to think critically on during my internship this summer at the Baltic Environmental Forum (BEF) in Hamburg Germany. The organization recently kicked off its multi-year VivaGrass project that will restore and maintain grasslands in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.
The grasslands themselves are a quickly vanishing, an extremely rich ecosystem that has co-evolved with human activity along the Baltic coast over hundreds, perhaps thousands of years. Ancient and modern grazing and farming practices have kept shrub and tree growth in check and allowed a staggering diversity of plant and animal species to flourish. In recent decades, however, the local farming communities that once maintained these grasslands were destroyed by Soviet farm collectivization and have remained debilitated under the infusion of food and goods from Western Europe.
Since the VivaGrass project kickoff meeting in May, I came to appreciate how intertwined the environmental conservation goal of the project is with rural development and how, even though BEF's primary issue is grasslands, it is inevitably acting within a much larger context of history, national identity, and national politics. Latvian, Lithuanian, and Estonian professionals within BEF, in close coordination with rural farmers and local government administrators, are the leaders of the VivaGrass project. Regardless of the heritage of BEF's team, though, VivaGrass will deal with more than monitoring grassland health.
As BEF's VivaGrass project begins to create socially and ecologically "sustainable" grassland management models for its Baltic project sites, it is inevitably involved in political and cultural discourses of rural landscape conservation and development. In its early stages, the project will involve rural stakeholder engagement and grassland rehabilitation (shrub and tree removal). Over time, and in coordination with farmers and municipal leaders, the project will establish long-term maintenance schemes. Such maintenance in other grassland conservation projects around Europe has typically entailed purchasing sheep or cows and a fencing or transporting system. These project often hire shepherds to tend to the animals or enlist local farmers to perform the work. Local farmers ideally would be able to sell meat or milk products for profit to local markets or tourists. In some cases, the products from the animals are coupled with the sale of other locally produced goods.
In remaking select Baltic grasslands, VivaGrass also will be re-fashioning the rural landscape, which is both a cultural and agricultural act. Although local stakeholders may not explicitly state the narratives embedded in the landscape, "liberal internationalist" and "agrarian nationalist" stances may nevertheless shape collective impressions about what is an appropriate appearance and form of grassland rehabilitation. BEF, therefore, is poised to advance a cultural and/or political vision of rural development. Even if it does not officially endorse a particular viewpoint, BEF's awareness of the implications of either narrative is key in anticipating outcomes of the project as it proceeds and balances local and national developmental needs and desires. Furthermore, a sensitivity to the power dynamics associated with rural development and continually assessing to what degree local populations have control over their own development is a critical question that will impact the long-term viability of VivaGrass.
While Mother Latvia has been a central symbol for the country's embattled path to independence, the history behind her image does not offer a clear path forward now that the Latvian people have rural landscapes and wild spaces of their own. Competing ideas about national identity and responsible socio-economic development create a backdrop against which any non-profit environmental organization's efforts are organized. The protection of grasslands within the Baltic region are a particularly poignant case in conservation simply because these ecosystems actually rely on human activity. They are, in other words, biological expressions of an ancient human-nature relationship. As such, BEF's efforts to protect endangered grassland ecosystems is as much cultural as it is ecological. After decades of war and foreign occupation, Latvian government officials, rural community members, and farmers face the socio-biological consequences of land abandonment and farming community collapse. Non-governmental organizations like BEF may be uniquely positioned to help bring about environmentally and socially sound paths of conservation and development.

Comments by A-Dust
I do not support this users self nomination for patroller status, based upon the quality of edits this user has shown in the past and present, along with his continuos posting of false statements. His editing skills leave a lot to be desired, consistently failing to capitalise some letters (for example, when starting a sentence) and also fails to add full stops at the end of sentences. He also has a tendency to create short pages with little relevant information and also makes pointless pages. An example being Diaz, which had little useful information on one of the most prominent characters in the series. As well as having little useful information, the page had already been established under the correct heading (Ricardo Diaz) and had been properly categorised with the correct spelling (as opposed to Category: Charectors in Grand Theft Auto Vice City).
His continuous false statements regarding his supposed role on Grand Theft Auto Wikia should also be noted. These statements have, in the past, been reverted by both Gboyers and myself for being false statements, as I have explained on his talk page. Despite this, he continues to re-add the statement, as can currently be seen on his user page.
The edits of this user are appreciated in helping Grand Theft Wiki expand and provide a better account of the Grand Theft Auto series. However, I believe he lacks the basic skills in editing to become a member of the staff. If he were to be promoted to staff, he would show a bad example of editing skills (such as not capitalising all of the appropriate letters). The numbers of staff may need to increase due to lack of active staff (see Chief of Staff (last edit July 2, 2007), Chris (last edit January 6), 47 (last edit July 17, 2007), George (last edit October 20, 2007) and Thorpe). Also, GuildKnight and Thai420 have been inactive over the past two months. However, the quality of edits from perspective members of staff should be more important than the quantity of edits. There are also users who have shown more promise for staff members, including Egaino (this view also takes into account his contributions to Wikipedia).
I suggest that User:Chip2007 to try to improve on the quality of all his edits and stop his insistence he has been a caretaker of Grand Theft Wiki. When these two suggestions have been met, then I may support this users nomination. A-Dust 14:35, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Comments by Gboyers
I mostly agree with A-Dust. This user has not shown a good understanding of how this wiki works, with incidents such as creating new pages for replying to Talk page comments; listing article links on category pages; calling himself the 'caretaker' of this wiki; asking to use staff userboxes (when not being staff); heavy-handed (almost abusive) comments to a banned member; misspelling page names and not fixing the links; non-proficiency with wikimarkup etc.
I believe this user's heart is in the right place, and that they are trying to help, but they are able to do that as a member, and staff privileges would not help in this respect. I also believe that this user should not be a patroller, due to myself frequently having to patrol and correct his edits. I cannot support the nomination for staff, but I do appreciate the majority of the normal editing this user does, and I think the user should stick to editing content - Gboyers (?) 15:17, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
2 Against, 0 For. Nomination unsuccessful. Gboyers (?) 15:34, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Manuscripts must meet the high quality standards that have been established for OSA journals, reporting original, significant results of interest to the optics and photonics community. Review by external referees is required for acceptance of all research articles, review papers, tutorials, discussion papers, comments and replies. All manuscripts are screened by OSA editors before they are sent out for external review. Editors may decline a manuscript without external review if they judge the manuscript to be clearly unsuitable for the journal (e.g. out of scope, fundamental flaws, duplicative, incremental, poor quality of English, excessively wordy). Note that a paper is considered "incremental" if it does not convincingly add new and important results to the field.
Resubmissions of previously rejected manuscripts require a cover letter with a detailed response to the referee and editor comments. If the new manuscript does not address the reviewer and editor comments, it may be rejected without peer review.
OSA has provided step-by-step overview of the peer review process for a typical manuscript. This document outlines each step of the peer review process from the time an author submits a paper to a final manuscript decision. Once accepted, a manuscript will begin the production process. An overview of the production process can be found by clicking here.

Reviewers are a critical part of the publication process. OSA journal editors rely on reviewers to help maintain their journals' high standards. Providing a good review that is thorough and fair can be time-consuming and the editors appreciate the energy that reviewers devote to the task. Reviewing for OSA journals can also be rewarding however, and it provides insight to some of the most up-to-date research in the field.
If you are interested in reviewing for OSA journals, please create an account in Prism, our article tracking system. If you have published in an OSA journal you will already have an account. Ensure that your contact information and expertise keywords are up-to-date so that your record can be easily found.
Becoming a reviewer can take some time. Creating and updating your account in our system is just the first step. Editors select appropriate reviewers for each paper based not only on expertise keywords, but also on information such as publication records, prior reviewing experience or personal knowledge and recommendations. You are more likely to be chosen as a reviewer of a particular paper if you have also published articles on that topic for example. Here are some other tips to increase your chances of being asked to review:

GREENVILLE � The East Carolina Pirates are looking to bounce back following Saturday's heartbreaking triple-overtime loss at Tulane.
GREENVILLE � The East Carolina Pirates are looking to bounce back following Saturday's heartbreaking triple-overtime loss at Tulane.
They will have that chance this weekend when winless Southern Miss. comes to Greenville.
�We told our players that every goal that we had in front of us is still attainable. The most immediate goal in front of us right now is Southern Miss at home at Dowdy-Ficklen [Stadium],� ECU coach Ruffin McNeill said on Monday at his weekly press conference.
�Even more immediate than that for us coaches is to have a great game-plan today and a great practice tomorrow to make sure we do what we have to do to be successful on Saturday.�
The Pirates (4-2, 2-1) missed opportunities to score in the red zone against Tulane, settling for four field goals and turning the ball over once.
While quarterback Shane Carden and wide receiver Justin Hardy at record-setting performances, ECU's offense couldn't put the game away.
The Pirates failed to score on their third-overtime attempt after a missed field goal attempt by Warren Harvey. Moments later, Tulane kicker Cairo Santos booted the game-winning 42-yard field goal.
�It was a tough loss,� McNeill said. �The thing that was tough about it was, when we watched the film, the kids played extremely hard.
�It was a strain, which is different from effort. They strained on every play of the game and I was very proud of that. It was our third game in a row on the road. Time ran out on us and we didn't come up on the positive end of that.�
Carden passed for an ECU record 480 yards with a touchdown and an interception, but was sacked six times. Hardy, a West Craven alum, broke a school record with 17 receptions for 230 yards.
But all is not lost for the Pirates, who play their next four Conference USA games against teams with losing records.
They sit a half game behind Marshall (4-2, 2-0) for first place in the East Division. The Thundering Herd, who are off this week, edged out Florida Atlantic, 24-23, Saturday.
�I like where we are right now,� McNeill said. �We've lost two games by eight [total] points. There have been some experiences that have happened to us during that six-game stretch, positive and tough, that we have learned from. Developing our team is where we'll head from here.�
ECU returns to Dowdy-Ficklen for the first time in five weeks, ready to attack a vulnerable Southern Miss. squad.
The Golden Eagles are led by quarterback Allan Bridgford, who has thrown for 1,118 yards, but has tossed 11 interceptions.
Defensively, they've only forced six turnovers.
Southern Miss. leads the all-time series 27-11, but ECU has won three of the past four meetings, including last year's 24-14 victory in Hattiesburg, Miss.
�As a player and coach, it has always been a big-boy pad day,� McNeill said. �It is not a place for anyone with a faint of heart. It was always one of the most physical contests that I've played in and been a part of.�
Hardy leads all Pirates' receivers with 639 yards.
�He's as humble of a kid as I've ever been around - the epitome of what we want in a student-athlete,� McNeill said. �He's as competitive of an individual as I've ever seen.
�Sometimes, people mistake kindness for a weakness. Justin is that way, but when it's time to put on the helmet, buckle up the pads and tighten up the belt buckle on the pants, he's full of fire. He thinks about the team first in anything he does.�
Carden has thrown for more than 2,000 yards and 13 touchdowns, while Vintavious Cooper has 459 rushing yards.
Notes: ECU linebacker Jeremy Grove is expected to be back in action on Saturday...wide receiver Davon Grayson and tight end Zico Pasut are listed as out...kicker Warren Harvey is 10-of-16 in field goal attempts after missing three of his seven kicks against Tulane.
�The biggest thing we told (Warren) is that we believe in him,� McNeill said. �Warren has earned his way here. When you have earned and nothing has been given, he's not afraid of it. He has a belief in faith and God. He's one of our top students - period - here at East Carolina. Last night (at practice), we put him in the same situation with no time on the clock, and he drilled it.�

Studying Style w/ Joshua & Travis of Street Etiquetteon September 4, 2013
Style Profiles. In honor of our twice-a-year Men's Shop Catalog dropping this month, we decided to profile 6 real men of style and substance. Today, the men behind acclaimed style, life, and travel website Street Etiquette.
Joshua Kissi and Travis Gumbs are a lot of things: stylists, models, photographers, expert thrift-shoppers, music lovers, cultural ambassadors, historical preservationists—and proof of the power of the internet.
High-school friends from the Bronx, the two started a blog—called Street Etiquette—to document their growing interest in refined personal style. Their early work followed a successful blueprint: Build a dapper outfit based on a classic menswear item, and explore said item's significance by delving into historical photos. Think '60s biker gangs giving context to leather jackets, and Pat Boone rocking suede bucks. The next thing they knew, Kissi and Gumbs were gracing the pages of GQ and The New York Times at the ripe old age of 22.
Two years later, they're designing their own clothes, producing short films, and generally proving that the universe is kind to those with passion, curiosity, and a willingness to work hard. We caught up with the guys in NYC this summer—to take some photos, shoot a video, and better understand their continual quest to learn and be inspired. Read the full Q&A below.

MEN'S SHOP DAILY: What does the phrase "Street Etiquette" mean to you guys?
JOSHUA KISSI OF STREET ETIQUETTE: For us, it's more than a website. It's more than the clothing. It's like a lifestyle that we've built, just on inspirations around us. It's not all about Travis and myself—it's bigger than that. It's what we're inspired by, whether it's traveling, clothing—just everything that encompasses life for us, is classified as Street Etiquette. So it's more than a website. The site is like the platform where we put ideas that we have and what we're inspired by. It's just the portfolio.
What was Black Ivy?
TRAVIS GUMBS OF STREET ETIQUETTE: Black Ivy was a photo editorial that we did about three years ago. We got a whole bunch of our friends [together]. We were paying homage to the old HBCs, and Ivy style. We shot it at 145th and City College. The response was a lot bigger than we ever anticipated.
What is an HBC?
Travis: Historically black colleges. We found a whole bunch of old photos, like from Howard, and these guys were super dressed-up, and the style was amazing. And we were like, "We can do this." At the time, it was a style that we were [already] venturing into. So we were like, "You know what, why don't we just come together and just shoot this, and see how it comes out." And it just worked.
[The Blacky Ivy, by Street Etiquette.]
What are some of the things guys were wearing in the historical photos you mentioned?
Travis: Definitely like the typical prep stuff, like tweed jackets, shorts, loafers with socks, ties—
Joshua: …Suspenders, oxfords, paperboy hats…
Travis: …And just wearing it your own way. So we had guys that were super prepped-up, and then we had guys that were a little bit more lax—a little bit more like the bad-boy style, but it was still the same Ivy, prep style. The same clothes, but it's about how you wear it. That's what was really cool about it—we would see these photos, and see all these different types of guys, but they were all dressed up in their own way. So we really wanted to show that with Black Ivy, and I think we were able to do it.
You said it got a larger response than you anticipated?
Joshua: It was just one of those things where people kept talking about it.
Travis: I think it challenged a lot of social issues, in a sense, like masculinity, black masculinity, perception of style and who you are—so it touched on a lot of social topics that people didn't necessarily want to talk about until they saw the editorial, and it was like, "OK, let's talk about this stuff."
Tell us about some of your recent travels.
Travis: We did this cool project in Angola this past summer. And that was great, because it was my first time in Africa. Josh, he's been to Africa before. But we really got to soak up the culture and photograph stuff we never got to photograph before. And then, in a couple weeks, we're actually going to Thailand to do the same thing.
[Excerpts from Street Etiquette's Travel Etiquette series.]
What do you enjoy about traveling?
Joshua: I think traveling is one of the best educations you can get. Exposing yourself out there kind of reveals who you are as a person, how people see you, as you cross each continent and each country. It's super interesting, waking up and just walking around the street. It's definitely fun. We have this thing called Travel Etiquette—it's basically our series of traveling around the world with style and character, through the lens of Travis and myself.
To decide the destination of your recent trip to southeast Asia, you guys conducted an online poll amongst your readers.
Joshua: The poll was interesting. There were a lot of votes from Vietnam, and Thailand, and Hong Kong. People were really repping for their cities.
Travis: A lot of people were voting from those places. It's crazy, because you can see the votes; you can see where they're coming from. A lot of people voted from Asia—I feel like more than the United States.
What kinds of things are you looking forward to seeing?
Joshua: Just the fashion—see what the fashion is like there, even if it's just regular, everyday people. I'm not saying like runways—just how people live and do their style every day. That's important.
You've mentioned in the past, Joshua, that the streets are like the new runways. Could you elaborate on that?
Joshua: What I meant when I said that, is that style and fashion are not just encapsulated for one week in February or one week in September—it happens every day. And it's not just downtown. It's not just uptown. It's not just Brooklyn. It's all over the place. [Getting] inspiration from people on the street…is one of the biggest things for us. Especially right now—everybody has a camera. There's an overload of information for people to go out there and explore.
It's interesting to delve into your guys' Tumblr page and see the wide range of art, culture, and history that you reference. What do you think inspires you the most, in life and in your work?
Joshua: My inspiration comes from a plethora of eras, like 1950s, '60s…1980s hip-hop, punk rock—
Travis: Reggae.
Joshua: …Reggae, exactly. Reggae culture. Skinhead, mod—the U.K. had a big influence on us, too. [But] to be honest, I think a lot of our inspiration comes out of jazz.
What are some of your favorite jazz musicians?
Joshua: Coltrane, Miles Davis, Mingus, Max Roach was an amazing drummer. Thelonius Monk. There are a lot of good guys. Chet Baker.
Favorite albums?
Travis: Well, of course Bitches Brew [1970, by Miles Davis], because that's a little bit different from anything else. I mean it's a little bit redundant at this point—to say Miles Davis is kind of like saying Michael Jackson. It's true, though, you know? It's not overrated; it's justified.
[Behind the scenes at Street Etiquette's Sewn From The Soul
project, which honored Black History Month.]
Do you prefer late-era Miles, then?
Travis: I like it all, because for the era that he was in, he was pushing the boundaries. So each era was good for what he was doing. It wasn't just like, Miles Davis of the '80s, more experimental than Miles Davis of the '60s—that wasn't really the case. [In each era], he was perfecting a certain sound and a certain taste level that he wanted to do. And he did it. He was able to switch his sound for every decade that he did music. It's very few artists that did the same.
Joshua: The funny thing is, I have no vinyls. It's all off the Internet. Kind of Blue is great. Even though in his later times, people consider that he got a little bit too weird—in the way he dressed, or his music—I think that as an artist, it's kind of like your obligation.
When did you guys first get into jazz?
Travis: I didn't listen to jazz growing up at all. [In] my household…we listened to more soul stuff, reggae, hip-hop in later years—but it wasn't until maybe a few years ago that I started getting into jazz. Honestly, it was more the style thing, because we were doing research on different styles. And then you see the style, and you get into the music, and you see why the style was so refined for the music. When you start listening to it and developing that taste, it's phenomenal. It's one of those things. I listen to jazz at least two, three times a week.
Joshua: [Jazz music] calms you. It's not as, like, rambunctious and lyrics-driven as [most of] today's music—but there's still a message.
Travis: There's a lot more emotion.
Joshua: You feel that message according to your ears and what you want to hear. And that's one of the most important things. But for me, I play the drums—so growing up with jazz is kind of essential, just for that beat.
So it sounds like together, the two of you really delved into jazz based on how the musicians dressed.
Joshua: We love the way that the jazz musicians dressed. They kind of represented the first type of "cool" in America, you know? A lot of kids—I mean, the original term "hipster" meant going away and trying to be a jazz musician on the road, and traveling, and just, like, doing your hitchhiking thing. So it's like they were the original cool.
Travis: And then, when you go back and listen to it, you see how many hip-hop artists sampled from jazz musicians. So it was interesting to see that. Hip-hop is a form of jazz; it evolved from jazz.
Joshua: It's all related, really.
[Promotional posters for Street Etiquette's new short film, Slumflower.]
Tell us about the project you're debuting [this Saturday, 9/7] during New York Fashion Week this season.
Travis: It's called Slumflower, and it's a photo editorial and a short film. It was, like, 17 of our friends all suited up in tailored suits. We shot it in the projects.
Joshua: …In public housing, which isn't far from here [Ed. note: we were filming at Milk Studios in NYC]. It's like 16th and 9th or something like that. The short film just came from an idea we had and wanted to present. [It's about] a kid living in the projects, dressing a certain way, and he's kind of defying social inequalities. There's a message behind it, but it's represented through style.
You guys have made videos of your travels and whatnot before, but this is your first official "film." How did production go?
Joshua: We did the whole routine, as far as storyboarding, location-scouting, budgets. It's going good. We're just trying to define the meaning of having a blog—or a website, or a brand, whatever the case may be.
That raises a good question: What do you say your job title is, when you meet someone?
Joshua: Funny thing about job titles, especially living in New York—it's like a constant conversation starter. "Hey, what do you do?"
Travis: The number-one question…If I'm not really feeling like [explaining], I'm like, "You know what? I'm a blogger."
Joshua: It's bigger than that, though.
Travis: The term "blog" seems too amateur for some reason. I mean, we've been "blogging" for five years now. But it's like, what's the next level of—
Joshua: …Yeah, that's the next question. Everybody is like, "What's next? What's after 'blogging'?"
Travis: Are you a "professional blogger"?
Joshua: [In the end], you just want to keep pushing out good work. [These days], everybody is kind of a Jack-of-all-trades—a Renaissance man. So somebody asks you…but there's no job title. And that's the best thing about it: you kind of get to diversify, rather than just be in a box.
Travis: Yeah, the title thing is weird. If I could just not have a title, that would be cool. Then, I could just do whatever I want. I could do stuff outside of what my title would be.
[The video Street Etiquette shot while covering New York Fashion
Week for the Nordstrom Men's Shop last season.]
How did you two first meet?
Joshua: We met in Iceland. No, I'm playing. We met at high school in the Bronx. Straight up.
Travis: There's no cool story behind it, though.
Joshua: It was like, biology class.
Travis: We were both into style at the time. That's how we connected. We would both post on online forums, like Hypebeast and Superfuture, and got a lot of followers on there. That's how we got a lot of traction when we started Street Etiquette [in college].
So did you guys have different tastes than most of your classmates in high school?
Joshua: Yeah, definitely. We saw a bigger picture in a sense, than our high-school peers. You get ridiculed for dressing different, because high school is all about fitting in.
Travis: We were just curious to know what else was out there, outside of our borough. So, we started coming downtown—because no one came downtown, man. [When you live] in the Bronx and whatnot, you don't come to the city at all. You stay up there. You come to the city once in a while, you do a little shopping, and you head back up. We would actually come down here and—
Joshua: Hang out.
Travis: That's how we connected with a lot of our friends from Brooklyn, and Harlem and whatnot. We were amongst all these other—a lot of these guys were actually older than us, too, so they knew a lot more. And they kind of helped us craft our taste level.
What do you guys love about New York City, and how does living here inspire you?
Joshua: New York City is the best city in the world, as far as I know. Just the energy. It's a melting pot. You can see every type of ethnic group, every culture. You're exposed to so much here. Growing up in the Bronx…you got the Spanish cats, Jamaicans, West Indians, Africans—all in one. All those cultures are vastly different, and you have friends from each one.
Travis: You know, like, sometimes you go to your friend's house and you're eating Spanish food—or you eat Jamaican, or Indian, or whatever—so it molds you as a person, to always be open.
Joshua: There are very few places in the world that you can do that, from what I've seen. It's such a big melting pot; that's what I love most about it. And that's what inspired us to travel so much—because we see all these people from different parts of the world, and you talk to them, and they tell you about their country, and you just want to go and experience it firsthand.

Lamborghini's new 690bhp V12 engine
* 6.5-litre V12 for Murcielago replacement * Uses a fast, new automated manual transmission * A big focus on weight saving...
Lamborghini's new 690bhp 6.5-litre V12 engine will power its Murcielago replacement, which arrives next year.
The supercar will also get a new automated manual transmission, which Lamborghini calls Independent Shifting Rod or ISR.
Unlike a dual-clutch automated manual, such as Porsche's PDK transmission, the ISR 'box uses a pair of rods to provide superfast gearshifts. The company says the gearbox can change gear 50% faster than a dual-clutch design.
At 79kg, the box is lighter than a dual-clutch gearbox, says Lamborghini. The company has also put a lot of work into slimming down the engine to 235kg.
Carbonfibre construction will also feature in next year's car as Lamborghini works to reduce emissions by cutting overall weight. The company recently showcased its growing expertise using the material through the dramatic Sesto Elemento concept car, which it unveiled at last month's Paris motor show.
While the Sesto Elemento weighed just 999kg, it's unlikely next year's supercar will drop below the one-tonne mark.

Katherine Barr is Great
Fund: MDV-Mohr Davidow Ventures
Posted by Anonymous on 2008-02-26
We talked to Katherine about our company. Even though we were probably too early for MDV (we were pre-series A, and they seem to like somewhat mature companies in the consumer space), talking to Katherine was definitely worthwhile. She had some good insights about our business and helped us refine our pitch, but more importantly she graciously introduced us to angels who fit our business and could provide a seed round that would get the business to the point where it would be fundable by MDV.
I'm not knowledable enough about the firm to speak for MDV as a whole, but Katherine has a really good feel for the consumer space and won't hesistate to give you good feedback (and when warranted, tough love) so it's definitely a good idea to talk to her and get on her radar.PRIVATE: Members Only
