I dunno. This may be really boring and uninteresting to some of you, maybe to everyone. But my quick little trip to Indiana was so smooth, interesting and fulfilling that I felt compelled to document it, and even to share it with anyone else who might possibly be interested.
I feel that life is made of moments, and we only get a finite number to experience. The way I see it, the more moments you get to fill with positive experiences, the better you're doing in the long run! This little trip was filled with just enough positive, interesting and rewarding experiences to make it noteworthy.
The trip centered around a new event for Capstone Photography, the Purdue Boilermaker Half Marathon. For the uninitiated, the Purdue in question has nothing to do with chickens. Purdue University is one of the top engineering schools in the country, particularly regarding Aviation and Aerospace Engineering. I earned my BS degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Virginia in 1990, and the education there was first-rate. But had I the chance to do it over again, I would have very seriously considered going to Purdue for that degree.
You see, I happen to be a huge astronaut buff. My heroes are guys like Buzz Aldrin and John Young, guys who risked their neck with stoic calmness as America first reached to the realm of space. It still blows my mind to this day how a bunch of young engineers, project managers and test pilots put together some of the world's most daring and technically challenging accomplishments, all based on slide-rule calculations in the nascent field of Aerospace Engineering. You won't be surprised to know that one of my biggest heroes is Neil Armstrong. I won't fill the narrative here with details of his accomplishment, but I encourage anyone to read about him and some of the highlights of his gutsy career. A great book on Amazon is here: http://www.amazon.com/First-Man-Life-Neil-Armstrong/dp/1476727813/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1382313796&sr=1-2-catcorr&keywords=neil+armstrong and a brief biography is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_armstrong. My two favorite and vicariously hair-raising stories are how he successfully bailed out of the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle, just seconds from death, and his recovery from a stuck thruster in the Gemini program that would have doomed most of us mere mortals who lacked the ice-water that ran through his veins.
The connection is this. 23 NASA astronauts studied at Purdue, including Neil Armstrong (first man on the moon), Gene Cernan (last man on the moon), Roger Chaffee and Gus Grissom (who both died in the Apollo 1 fire). I had always dreamed of at least visiting the campus, and being in the same place where so many of these young heroes-to-be earned their education about the physics of earth and space flight. So going to the campus was a chance to do just that, while completing an assignment for my company.
I arrived a day early, to scope out the start, finish and half marathon course. With a little time to kill, I decided to explore the university campus. My first reaction was its visual appeal. It was very clean, with appealing architecture that somehow merged the late 1800's with contemporary design. Students bustled to and fro, and it made me reminisce about being an undergraduate a long time ago. I downloaded an app for my iPhone which gave a campus tour. Of the various landmarks, of course it was the Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering which caught my eye and became my first stop. Outside is a statue of Neil Armstrong as a student, and just about three days before Buzz Aldrin posted a picture of himself next to the same statue. In a way, I felt like I was connecting with two of my heroes just by being there.
As I walked into the lobby, more like a large atrium, again it brought me back to my college days. Bulleting boards were overstuffed with flyers about activities and the availability of math tutors. Computer labs were lightly occupied on what was a Friday afternoon. Engineering labs were visible through glass walls, stuffed with various electrical and mechanical equipment and projects. There was even a "Danger: Radiation" sign on one room. But in the main atrium, something else was happening. Rows of chairs were lined up, an oak podium with the university name sat at the front of the room. A technician was setting up a video camera while another technician spoke "Check. One, Two. Test" into the podium microphone. A Boeing display sat on the far side of the room, and a large mysterious item about 15 feet long was cloaked in a black cloth. I asked the video technician what was going on and he smiled "Shhhh… it's a big secret. We're unveiling a dedication, but I can't tell you what. The ceremony begins in about an hour." My mind pretended for a moment that I had arrived just in time to an event scheduled to coincide with my arrival, almost like it was just for me.
Hmmm… what would they unveil? From the shape, I guessed it was a Northrop M2 lifting body. (This is what crashed in the beginning footage of the old Six Million Dollar Man episode)
So with an hour to kill on a college campus, I did what any forty-something year old pretending to be 20 years younger would do: I asked directions to a nearby bar. A student directed me to Harry's Chocolate Shop. Without questioning why I was being directed to a confectionary store, I followed the directions and found the destination to be a bar alright, and a bit of a dive at that. I ordered a local brew, chatted with a few locals and then made my way back to the Neil Armstrong Hall. This time, a few more displays were set up, including a picture of Mr. Armstrong himself next to a strange bird I'd never heard of called the X-20. And so that was what the event was all about. Boeing had built a mockup of the X-20, which Neil was slated to fly, but the program was canceled before it ever took flight, with funds redirected to the moon program. So I wasn't far off, thinking it was the Northrop M2. The two were definitely relatives.
Feeling under-dressed in jeans and a golf-shirt, I eschewed the formal seating area and instead went up to the second floor balcony, where I got a great view of the proceedings alongside a few dozen students. The dean of the school spoke, and a few people from Boeing. And then voila, the cloth was pulled back and the X-20 revealed. It was really cool to have the good luck of walking into this. I would have been satisfied with just a stroll around the campus and the building. But I'll never forget the feeling as if they had been awaiting my arrival to complete the unveiling!
The rest of the weekend went fine. I had a nice quiet dinner before retiring to my hotel in nearby Lafayette. (The 70's called. They want their room decor back!) I woke early to meet 8 other photographers back at Purdue Saturday morning to cover the race. It was dark, cold and rainy, but that's part of what we photographers do! After the race, I had a couple more hours to pass, so I found a place with great beer, chicken wings and the Purdue game on TV. Now an instant Purdue fan, I cheered on the Boilermakers, but unfortunately they lost to Michigan State. Then it was off to the airport. That Indianapolis airport is so calm compared to other airports… what a pleasure to fly out of!
Thanks for letting me share my trip with you! I hope your life brings you some small, pleasant adventures soon. And of course, I'd love to hear about them!

A pro-independence blog by James Kelly - voted one of Scotland's top 10 political websites.

The attractions of holding a referendum without a Section 30 order
1) Just like in Catalonia, there absolutely must be a back-up plan if the state cuts off the most obvious route to an exercise in self-determination. There isn't much point in being a pro-independence Catalan if you accept the risible argument that voting for independence is illegal, and by the same token there isn't much point in being a pro-independence Scot if you're willing to accept that Westminster has the right to say "now is not the time, and the right time is never". Most of us agree that it would be preferable to hold a referendum with Westminster's agreement, but if we don't have a prepared answer to an insistent "no" we might as well pack up and go home.
2) It's not possible for the unionist establishment (both political and media) to delegitimise the referendum without also boycotting it. If there's a unionist boycott, a Yes victory in some form is assured. As in Catalonia, that will immediately create new facts on the ground - at the very least the anti-independence mandate from the 2014 referendum will no longer be unchallenged.
3) Unlike in Catalonia, the referendum will not actually be illegal. What we're talking about is legislation that is framed in such a way that the Presiding Officer's legal advisers, and perhaps the courts if necessary, will accept that a consultative referendum is within the Scottish Parliament's existing powers.
4) Irrespective of legality, the referendum will almost certainly not be disrupted by British state violence of the sort that we've just seen from Spain. The UK population just wouldn't stand for that sort of thing - witness the spontaneous disgust displayed towards Spain's actions by establishment figures such as BBC network newsreader Huw Edwards. That means the only limit on the number of Yes votes we can attract will be determined by the shortcomings of our own campaigning skills.
* * *
Now I'm back from my travels, I have a couple of things to let you know about. This year has seen a bumper number of visitors to this blog, culminating in the month leading up to the general election when Google Analytics recorded approximately 35,000 unique visitors - the second busiest month in Scot Goes Pop's nine-year history, outstripping even the month of the 2014 referendum. Part of the reason for that success is that I was made an admin (or editor, or whatever the correct word is) on one of the most popular pro-indy Facebook pages, and was encouraged to post links to my own content. I've no idea exactly what percentage of the blog's visitors were coming from that page, but my vague impression is that it was making a significant contribution. The page was recently taken down, seemingly due to a long-running dispute with Tommy Sheridan and his supporters. It's now back up again, but the creator has stepped aside, and it appears that as part of the shake-up I've been quietly removed as one of the admins. I briefly thought about querying that, but I quickly realised that a) I don't actually know who is in overall charge of the page now, and b) it's very unlikely that I would have been removed by mistake. I'll probably never know the reason why. This could obviously prove to be a big setback, so it's led me to think about alternative ways of promoting the blog on Facebook.
For many years Scot Goes Pop has had its own dedicated Facebook page, but it 'only' has 1780 followers, probably for the very simple reason that I spend a fair bit of time on Twitter and almost no time at all on Facebook. (And there are only so many hours in a day.) I'm wondering if a Facebook group might conceivably work better, because it would allow non-admin members to post their own content, and indeed to annoy friends by adding them directly. So just as a mad experiment, I've set up a group called Scottish Independence Required By Next Tuesday. There's probably a 95% chance it'll fall flat on its face, but let's give it a go and see what happens. If you have a Facebook account, you can join the new group HERE. Rest assured that if it takes off it'll be an anything goes funfair.
And the other little piece of information is that I have a new article in the October issue of iScot magazine. If you're not a subscriber to the print edition, a digital copy can be purchased HERE.

You would have to be very naive indeed to believe the British state would not use violence because 'the UK population just would not stand for it'. Could you perhaps furnish us with some examples of the UK population even protesting in any mass and effective way violence by the British state, let alone preventing or ending it?ReplyDelete
There are countless examples of British state violence against anti colonial movements throughout history. And none were met with public outrage in the UK.
Even when the British state used violence on ostensibly 'British' streets against civil rights protests in the six counties, up to and including mass murder of protesters by British troops, there was no mass objection or solidarity from the UK population. Quite the contrary, much of the UK population cheered it on.
Indeed much outrage has been, rightly, expressed at the Spanish state police use of plastic bullets against civilians.
So perhaps worthwhile remembering that plastic bullets were invented by the British specifically for use against nationalist protesters in the six counties, and 17 civilians were killed by the use there of such 'non lethal rounds. Eight of those dead were children.
The 'UK population' uttered not a peep of protestReplies
Could it be the 6 counties civil rights was IRA sponsored. The poverty in the Republic was equally as bad as the UK 50s, 60s and 70s yet no killing of civilians or politicians... The UK still blocks websites for those loyalists who claim genocide by the IRA.Delete
No, the UK wouldn't use violence - anyone with a scrap of experience of how the UK handles Scotland would have to agree with that.Delete
There's a lot of wishful thinking from Wolfie Smith yesser types who would love Scotland to be in a simpler Spain/Catalonia type situation. (I would also like to be in a version of Scotland where there was majority support for independence though)Delete
The British government will use force if it wants to and I think it will want to 98 years ago tanks on Glasgow streets and bullets fired the marks on the waterworks walls to this day,yes they thought Scotland might do something.We will this time I believe,not me I'm decrepit and unless we have a wheelchair brigade no chance of this pensioner being there.Delete
I saw at first hand the behaviour in Scotland of unidentifiable English police in riot gear and armed with batons etc during the miners strike in the 80's.ReplyDelete
Although this was on smaller scale than events in Spain, it was equally nasty, and was cheered on by many in the press and public.
Peaceful pickets and bystanders were attacked without justification. Police state tactics were used against men Simla travelling elsewhere. News was manipulated by the BBC to show miners acting first by editing film of attacks by police where infact the police were initiating violence.
This is not hearsay. I witnessed this. They would do it again against independence supporters. To think they would not is kidding yourself.
I actually support what you say about holding a referendum whether or not "permission" is graciously granted, because it won't be, but the British government will be quite prepared to use violence, especially as the Unionists in Scotland contain some of Scotland's most vicious and violent people, and they will both support it and join in.
Be ready.

I think one reason not mentioned for unwillingness to have a go-it alone referendum, is the fears over low turnout.ReplyDelete
The Yoons would boycott it certainly, but would 1.6 million YES voters turn up.
950k turned up on a rainy day in June, and about the same number last year.
The danger is that the importance of the referendum gets relegated to the level of a local council election.
For legitimacy you would need 2 million or bit less to vote YES.Replies
- AnonymousOctober 5, 2017 at 1:23 PM
It seems to me that the best course of action in an emergency might be for the Scottish administration to vote itself down and force an Independence Mandate election -- which would itself have a double-lock provision for fairness of a majority of seats (as it would still be a parliamentary election) and a majority of votes. (Unlike the recent Westminster election the two things shouldn't be very far apart.) Presumably it would be boycotted by the 19% who loathe Holyrood and want it abolished, but we could live with that figure or a wee bit more.Delete
I predict that a referendum would be likely to be boycotted by around double that number. With the second option the Unionists could be tempted by the possibilities of installing Colonel Ruth or Richard Who in power and ensuring that the S.S. Great Britain continues on forever onwards and downwards.
The SNP and friends would really need to get a grip on the agenda, though.
One other point -- this would probably be in the context of a Hard Brexit. Given recent events, the existing argument for staying in contact with Europe via EFTA is strengthened. Given that the UK (or RumpUK or England) wouldn't be a good fit for EFTA and could be turned down because of the size of its population then this time we could make use of a little political judo to get the better of our larger opponent.
I have absolutely no faith in 'the people of Scotland' to face down the type of state enforced intimidation metted out by the Spanish authorities. I'm afraid they would simply hide away from taking to the streets in sufficient numbers and use excuses provided to them by the BBC and media. We know from Sept.'14 that there are huge chunks of seemingly intelligent people simply not interested in listening to or taking part in anything which is deemed 'against the interests of the state'. Very pessimistic but there you go. Scotland in 2017, more Tory MP's than in the last however many decades.ReplyDelete
To end on a slightly better note. IMO the answer is for the SNP simply to stand in 2020 and 2022 on a 'we want to vote' platform. See where the people throw their support. There can be no denying a valid referendum result, S30 order or not, in those circumstances (assuming a majority of MSPs and Scottish MPs are pro-indy) after both those elections, giving rise to IndyRef2 immediately after the next GE, after Brexit and the promise of elections immediately after Yes to negotiate whatever relationship with the EU Scotland wants - finally.

For the first time I am seriously worried about Scotland's future. I now think our Parliament is in danger of being watered down bit by bit and although I didn't take a Power Grab seriously, I am now really concerned. After what has happened in Catalonia, I think the red lights will be flashing in Westminster and they will be trying to put in place the means to prevent any such similar action in Scotland. It won't be reoirted in the media, rather it will be slow and incidious, chipping away at our power to eventually call a second referendum! Massaging figures to make it look like we are truly "too wee, too poor, too stupid". We all need to be on our guard and expose any attempt to compromise our Democratic rights!ReplyDelete
At present The British State is comfortable with its position and rule due to her media flunkies doing her bidding.I have no doubts whatsoever that the Brit State would resort to violence if Scotland's media were doing their objective job and support for Indy rose well beyond 50%.With regards to a consultative Referendum then Yes of course. Westminster will never grant a section 30 unless it believes it can win and it knows from experience that a No is not a definite. Finally,what is this act of Union and is it legal in the 21st century? Can our courts annul it ?ReplyDelete
My tech people installed an app that automatically posts all my tweets on Facebook. The result was a big increase in Facebook followers. Sorry I am not competent to tell you how you do it technically.
I think it's a reasonable assessment of how a "not agreed with WM" referendum would go. The thing that matters, as always, is support for independence. If support continues to not be there, the referendum might be a Yes, but with a low turnout that makes it ignorable. It would be a bit like the previous advisory Catalan referendum that was ignorable because Spain didn't royally fuck up by legitimising it with massive physical force.ReplyDeleteReplies
"If support continues to not be there"Delete
46% Yes in the last poll. I'm all for avoiding complacency, but irrational defeatism is another matter entirely. A referendum is clearly winnable with the right campaign.
As I understand it, the previous Catalan 'referendum' was more informal than the one we've just seen, so there's no real comparison.
Well, you're right in that WM would never try what the Spanish govt did. Because they wouldn't be so blatant with their violence.ReplyDelete
They'll be far more insidious. Orange Lodges will suddenly be given pots of funding, councils will grant them a march every weekend so that Scotland will look dangerously unstable with regard to sectarianism. Mercenaries and undercover agitators will suddenly attend Yes marches, and all sorts of social media sites will pop up proclaiming to have 'been a yes voter in 2014 but now I'm a no'...and so on. They're not agreeing to a Section 30 because they already shot their load in 2014 and there's really only violence left when you're that close to losing something England needs.Replies

My experience is that understated names tend to get ignored, but we'll see. Although I'm not really sure what the benchmark for success and failure would be.Delete
The problem with 3) is even if a indyref2 without a Section 30 order is still entirely legal as a consultative referendum, what's to stop the establishment & media from lying about it? They already lie repeatedly about indy Scotland EU membership being vetoed, I think it's entirely likely they'll constantly push some fallacious line about the new referendum being "wildcat" and undermining its legitimacy. In short, they'll try to make the Scottish situation look as much like the Catalonian one as they possibly can, implying without outright saying that what happened to the Catalonians will happen to Scots if they dare defy mighty Westminster.ReplyDelete
As stupid as the UK Establishment is, I doubt they'll make the same mistakes Spain did.

John, with all due respect there was no jumping to conclusions in this post.

800 New Faculty
Scholars, Scientists, Artists, Poet Laureate and Rock Star Among 800 New Faculty
Trailblazing thinkers, the just-named U.S. Poet Laureate, top art-world names, even a rock star are among the 800 new faculty members joining the City University of New York in 2007-08.
Factoring in retirements and other departures, the hires increase the University's full-time teaching ranks by 322, to 6,486 in September, and reflect CUNY's drive to raise academic standards and offer exciting, innovative programs.
"We are pumping dollars into one of our highest priorities, which is fulltime faculty,"
said Chancellor Matthew Goldstein. "For this institution to hire 800 faculty not only is an enormously impressive datum, but it also shows the resolve of our presidents and chief academic officers and faculty who work so hard visiting scholarly associations and other universities to encourage young faculty and more senior faculty to join this institution."
Executive Vice Chancellor and University Provost Selma Botman said, "Added to the existing intellectual capital of our schools and colleges, these new faculty members will play an important role in the continued renewal and advancement of America's greatest institution of urban public higher education."
Here is a brief sampling of some of the new faculty joining campuses this academic year:

His tightly constructed poems are described by Librarian of Congress James H. Billington as "both accessible and deep" with "stunning and unusual imagery." Simic published his first full-length collection, What the Grass Knows, in 1967. He has produced 20 poetry volumes as well as books of essays, translations of French, Serbian, Croatian, Macedonian and Slovenian works, and has edited anthologies. Simic is the second CUNY faculty member to receive the nation's highest distinction for poetry, joining Lehman College's Billy Collins, the 11th United States Poet Laureate, who served two terms from 2001 to 2003.
JOACHIM PISSARRO, Bershad Professor of Art History, Director of the Hunter College Galleries.

After you run it – you can see that it counts 3, 2, 1 – one per second before it says "Let's go!!" and dives forward.
Let's look at the for() command:
for(i=3;i>0;i- –) { }
There are three items within the parentheses separated by semicolons(;)
Initialization: Sets the beginning value for our count variable
Test: Sets the test condition that will keep the loop going while it is true
Increment (or decrement): Sets the value of the count increase or decrease (i– is short-hand for i=i-1)
In other words: The for loop is a special type of while loop.
So for(i=3;i<0;i- -) {some code }
is the same as a repeat loop using while():
while (i>0)
some code
i=i-1; // same as i- –

My calendar has just about run out of days…again.
It keeps happening, more and more.
I buy a new calendar full of fresh new days and before I know it…done.
Time for a refill…again.
So I'm thinking of buying a bigger calendar, with a lot more days.
Maybe twice as many days.
I don't know why I didn't think of it before.
I don't know why no one's thought of it before.
Such a simple idea.
A calendar with twice as many days.
We'd all be half our ages.
No sore backs, no grey hair, no no hair, no hair where you don't want it.
Not yet…not with the new calendars.
The only people I can think of that would be against it would be the calendar people.
The same people that charge you 15 dollars for a calendar up until December 25th…then cut the price in half to $7.50 on December 26th, because, you know, the days get cheaper after Christmas.
Not sure why.
It's not like you even need a new calendar until a week after Christmas, anyway.
Unless you absolutely can't wait to get a look at those cute little puppy puggie faces.
Or those Hot Buns and Fab Abs.
But this way, they can charge full price, maybe all the way until 4th of July…whenever it gets here….maybe next February.
Hey, I didn't say there weren't some kinks to iron out.
But when you get right down to it…who really needs a calendar at all, these days?
I mean, except to look at the Hot Buns.
My phone pretty much tells me what day it is every morning, not to mention, the time, traffic and the weather.
Come to think of it, I suppose it could even provide me with a daily hot bun pic as well, if I wanted…not that I would do that. Or at least tell you I would do that.
Still, I have a Norman Rockwell Calendar in my office…along with my Little Zen, page a Day calendar…and a Monet Calendar in the bedroom.
And that's just me.
Z has her Polar Bear Calendar in the kitchen plus her Mary Engelbright Calendar in the laundry room…the one that goes along with her Mary Engelbright Pocket Calendar in her pocket.
I guess we just like the pictures…with or without the Hot Buns and Fab Abs.
And, if you asked me what the date was…I'd have to look at my phone to tell you.
But I still think it's a good idea to find a calendar with extra days.
Not that I really have time for that…unless of course I can find one.
I already looked at the mall…no luck.
Nothing on-line, either…not even Amazon, who has everything.
So maybe I'm on a Fool's errand…something that seems to happen to me a lot for some reason.
Like the time I went looking for a giant pair of sunglasses that would cover the entire sun so we wouldn't need individual pairs for everybody.
Thought for sure I was on to something there.
But that's just how I am…always thinking of everyone else.
Like the time I tried to find a giant set of ear phones for my iPod so everyone else could hear the music with me.
Yeah…I know.
But I haven't given up on that or the sunglasses, so don't be surprised when the New Year seems just a tad longer than the Old Year.
Maybe I can make my own calendar by combining the Rockwell with the Monet.
Nah…I'm not that dumb.
Their styles would never mesh.

Hunting Starfish with Robots and Computer Vision
A team from the Queensland University of Technology has built a robot that can hunt for Crown-Of-Thorns Starfish along the Great Barrier Reef. From the team's website:
Crown-Of-Thorns Starfish (Acanthaster planci) are described as one of the most significant threats to the Great Barrier Reef. Since the 1960's, land-based nutrient runoff has accelerated outbreaks of COTS which are destroying large areas of reef. With few natural predators, traditional control of COTS required manually injecting the starfish in excess of 10 times with a biological agent. In 2014, a new agent was released, which was developed by the James Cook University (JCU) requiring only one injection per starfish. This advancement provided the stimulus for us to revisit automated (robotic) COTS population control and monitoring.
The intention of COTSbot is to provide a proof-of-concept robotic system that consolidates prior and ongoing research into image-based COTS detection, robotic vision, manipulator control, and shallow water Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) design, navigation and control, to directly facilitate COTS reduction. This multi-stage project will validate and demonstrate AUV performance to stakeholders and ensure the system components are a useful and flexible enabling foundation technology for environmental monitoring beyond the problem of COTS control.
This is a great example of using computer vision to aid autonomy, which is something we've long discussed on the forums here. Great to see it in action!

According to an article in today's MediaGuardian by Kim Fletcher, as of tomorrow (Tue 12 June), the Guardian will publish stories first to the web, "ending the primacy of the printed newspaper".
The newspaper industry seems to be agonising over such decisions and this is no doubt a 'ground-breaking' innovation for them. But isn't this as obvious as was the need for a format of newspaper you could actually read on the train (Berliner format blah blah)…?
Old habits die hard. I still occasionally read the Guardian on a Monday – it's a legacy of my days working in TV.
It amuses me now to read their internet coverage ("it might just work this infoweb thingy…"), though, to be fair, it is improving in quality (perhaps the advertisers are back?) though still quite patronising for many I fear.
However, I struggle to sympathise with the newspaper industry and its agonising over the internet. You get the impression that the internet is seen as a great threat, rather than an exciting opportunity. A bit like those high street retailers who want the government 'to do something' about the fact that their customers are choosing to shop online. Pesky customers – how dare they exercise choice eh?
Surely newspapers realise that for quite a while now they have not been the place people turn for hard, breaking news (like disasters)? Surely its obvious people go to the web for that? Or TV, or maybe radio. But definitely not print.
So why would a newspaper hold back news for print? Certainly not for the users (aka readers) benefit. No, in order to shore up print advertising.
And yet for online news operations to succeed speed of publication is essential. Hours, even minutes matter. Why? Because the real traffic comes from the news aggregators like Google News, NewsNow, Yahoo! News etc. If you're first there on a particular story then you get the traffic (= advertising inventory) but you also then get the links, the Diggs, the reddits, the blogs and so on, all of which drive further direct traffic but which also drive up your search rankings, which drives traffic, which drives links… you get the picture.
It's a funny thing. When you talk to newspapers, broadcasters, people in radio, and they talk about 'customers' they are usually referring to advertisers. I'm not really convinced that newspapers care deeply about their readers past a crude demographic and circulation figure. Certainly not in the same way that people who run successful web sites obsess about their users – they have to or those users would quickly go elsewhere. Online the obsession is around user experience, useful tools and services. Get those right and advertising will follow – indeed you can just plug it in if you want with Google AdSense. In print I've sat in supposedly editorial meetings with national newspapers where they're discussing if they can sell the content to advertisers (never mind the readers…).
Furthermore, there is a sense, when newspapers quote circulation figures, that every one of those readers reads the whole newspaper. Which clearly isn't the case. A newspaper is an aggregation of content and readers under a banner brand. A bit like a broad web portal. Most readers are actually only interested in (and will actively read) a small proportion of content or journalists – may be just the crossword.
So, I could go on, but what can newspapers do about all this? How, as Kim asks in his article, can newspapers "make enough money to fund proper journalism out of that online readership." (And indeed I'm all in favour of proper journalism and know what it costs. More on my suspicions around UGC (user-generated-content) another time. )
Personally, I don't buy the amazing power of the whole "integrated online / print advertiser value proposition". A recent McKinsey Quarterly article evaluated this in connection with classified advertising (see Classifed Ads: How newspapers can fight back"). Reading between the lines their advice appeared to be – give up, go and buy all the decent online players already out there.
Perhaps instead newspapers should not worry about their print circulations falling. They should increase the price of their papers and charge advertisers more for advertising to a smaller readership. Why? Because those people still buying the print version are much more engaged and valuable. Because they'll be buying the paper not to skim read news any more but to read the analysis and comment of journalist they trust.
The print version should also be used to market the web site. Not the other way round. And the web site should be better at selling content – the national newspapers efforts in paid content so far have been very poor. They're sitting on all sorts of value with their archives.
And the web site should actually be a collection of niche sites under a brand umbrella. Think nanopublishing, think Long Tail, think blogs – there is no reason why big newspapers can't ape what is happening elsewhere anyway. The trick is to have a very low cost base per site. You'll have low revenues per site too. But each is very profitable and the collection of all the sites would be very profitable too.
It's time for newspapers to stop getting so hung up on the print edition and focusing on advertisers. Time to use the print version for marketing the web properties. Time to use the web to de-atomise themselves across the vast web readership and tap into the zillions of perfectly valuable niche audiences out there.

Fishermen are a strange breed. We like to rise before the sun, and be out on the water while there is a cold nip in the air. My Dad and I would be up at 4, so we could be on the water not long after sunrise. That early hour is a magical private world, filled with stillness, beauty and magic. It is great watching the mist rise off a perfect mirror of a lake, clouds being colored by the solar painter, the quiet gurgle of the water rushing by, and a clear mind. What a great time to do thinking! Animals and fish are more active, and are acceptable disturbances to the solitude.
This painting is a fisherman on a winter morning. It is so early that the rocks he is standing on are in shadow, while the trees and water across the way are turned fiery by the morning sun. Because he is fishing a moving river, the reflections are distorted, but still beautiful.
I would love to be out there today!

NEW YORK, Aug. 7 (UPI) -- California's Google Inc. will distribute video programming from Viacom Inc.'s MTV Networks to hundreds of niche Web sites and blogs.
The content deal amounts to a syndication of Viacom's programming to the broader Web, allowing the content to reach a much bigger audience than Viacom's own Web sites draw, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
As part of the deal, the 25-year-old MTV Networks will also sell episodes of its programs through Google's video store. MTV has similar agreements with AOL and Apple's iTunes.
The content will be embedded with video advertising and the resulting ad revenue will be shared among Viacom, Google and Web sites that run the clips.
"Our technology takes MTV's video, marries it to an ad and shows it on a third site. No one's ever done this before," Google chief executive Eric Schmidt said. "If this works, it would be a very large business for all players."

Florida International U
FIU Panthers adjust to offensive line injuries
FIU lost two offensive linemen in the first half, then proceeded to run for 256 yards.
On the Panthers' first possession, fifth-year senior center Donald Senat went down with a hyperextended right knee. He tried to put weight on it but had to be helped as he hopped off the field. Sophomore Michael Montero played the rest of the game.
In the second quarter, left tackle Dieugot Joseph stiffly ambled off the field. Fifth-year senior David Delsoin, who started every game last season at left tackle and the first game this year, replaced Joseph for the rest of the game. FIU coach Ron Turner said after the game that only Joseph "would be fine."
Junior running back Anthon Samuel, who ran for 137 yards on 25 carries, said: "I've got to give a lot of credit to my O-line. They lost two guys, but they were able to adjust well."
Two for the money
Redshirt junior wide receiver Clinton Taylor's jet sweep was FIU's first two-point conversion attempt this season. It was FIU's first successful two-point conversion since another wide receiver from Miami Northwestern High, Wayne Times, ran one in against Arkansas State in 2010.
Offsetting frenzy
You don't expect much weirdness from the occasional event of offsetting penalties. Leave it to FIU to put the wacky into offsetting penalties.
On Saturday, something that happens less often than once per game on average happened three times, and all with Old Dominion on offense. Twice, holding on the Monarchs was nullified by pass interference on the Panthers. And another Old Dominion holding penalty cancelled out an offsides call on FIU.
Earlier this season, FIU took the extremely rare tactic of declining a penalty on Marshall to preserve a Richard Leonard interception. Had it accepted the penalty, with the penalty on FIU, the offsetting penalties would have required the down be replayed and possession revert to Marshall.
Punting shakeup
Some teams have a kicker for long field goals and one for short field goals. FIU now apparently has a long punter and a short punter.
Punting from the Old Dominion 37-yard line, FIU turned back to redshirt sophomore punter Chris Ayers, its punter at the start of the season before being replaced by Jose Laphitzondo. Laphitzondo, a student in the Honors College, came from rugby and isn't as skilled in the technique of punting to pin a team back.
So Ayers came in and dropped a perfect punt that senior Randy Harvey downed at the Monarchs' 1.
Packed house
Saturday's sellout at S.B. Ballard Stadium — originally built in 1935 as a WPA project and modernized in 2009 with three floors of suites on one end — was the 40th in a row for Old Dominion. Official attendance was 20,118.
It's the first time FIU has played in front of a sellout crowd since another come-from-ahead fourth-quarter loss, the 31-27 homecoming loss to Duke in 2011 before a packed FIU Stadium.
▪ Sophomore guard Jordan Budwig was one of the game captains for the first time this season. The other three were junior linebacker Davison Colimon, redshirt junior cornerback Richard Leonard and junior Michael Wakefield.

So, this blog has been dead. I've been studying more than I've been working, and I haven't slept right in a few months.
I'm uploading paintings to a tumblr account now, heavy on the images, light on the words. I tend to associate an artist's insecurity with the amount of drivel they have to type.
I'll upload one or two per day, depending on how much time my life at home permits.

The Residences at Waikiki Beach Tower opens after multi-million-dollar transformation
Aqua-Aston Hospitality has announced that The Residences at Waikiki Beach Tower, located on Waikiki's iconic Kalakaua Avenue, is now open following an extensive multi-million-dollar transformation.
Previously known as Aston Waikiki Beach Tower, the oceanfront resort is just steps from the famous shoreline of Waikiki Beach. In addition to its sought-after location and incredible views over the beach, the city, and the volcanic edges of Diamond Head, The Residences offers guests a luxe, private-living experience with only four residences per floor.
Each 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence comes equipped with separate living and dining areas, a full kitchen, and a balcony with 180-degree beach views. An all-encompassing remodel of each residence was completed, including new flooring throughout; mango wood accents; island-living furniture; chef-inspired kitchens; and 4- and 5-piece, spa-like master bathrooms.
Millions were also invested in the public spaces, including an open-air recreation deck overlooking the beach from the 4th floor, complete with a new fitness center, motion studio, and shower facilities; a new sunset deck with fire pits, lounge seating and shaded cabanas; a jet spa and children's pool; a new kitchen facility with an expanded dining area and barbeque grills; and a new air-conditioned Aloha Lounge, complete with ample seating, a supersized, ultra-high-definition flat screen television, and a Hawaii-themed book collection that will ignite your island wanderlust.

Upon opening, The Residences at Waikiki Beach Tower will join the ranks of Aqua-Aston Hospitality's Instinct Collection brand, an elite group of standalone, independent hotels.

M:I:III: not just I's, M's and colons
1. Surprise, surprise! This is a D.C. movie. Ethan Hunt's cover is the Department of Transportation, and he and fiancee Julia (the unfortunately Katie Holmesish Michelle Monaghan) live in Arlington (or somewhere with a rooftop view of the Capitol and Washington Monument). Julia works at Virginia Regional Hospital, which (zounds!) is not an invention of the filmmakers but an actual place. There is also a spectacular ambush sequence on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge (pictured at left).
2. Writer-director J.J. Abrams -- whom Cruise wisely handpicked and who gives the film serious panache, pacing and wit -- slips in deliciously timed digs at the nation's intelligence network. Laurence Fishburne, who appears to be the only guy in Hollywood with a real set of teeth, is given some great zingers as head of the CIA's IMF force: "I shit you not. I will bleed on the flag to make the stripes stay red." Abrams also works in a funny reference to H.G. Wells and Ralph Ellison. An Invisible Man allusion in a Mission: Impossible movie? Great stuff.
3. Abrams knows how good action films are made: by layering the suspense until it is unbearable, then relieving it, then quickly adding more. It compounds beautifully. Take the first action sequence: Cruise and company are retreating from a reconnaisance mission in a helicopter -- through giant spinning wind turbines, while being pursued and fired at -- as one of the agents writhes because there is an electronic bomb in her brain that will go off at any minute unless it is diffused with a defibrillator, which takes an agonizing 30 seconds to charge. Meanwhile, another agent is dangling out of the helicopter.
4. PSH makes for a slovenly sadistic villain. It's also nice to see Billy Crudup working. For all the lengthy delays and creative switcheroos, the film is remarkably cogent and put-together. For all the screenplay revisions and dropped directors, you might expect ground chuck. What you get is a nice juicy burger.
5. Yes, the end is a bit too cute and the whole premise is wafer-thin (MacGuffins and single-mindedness galore). And although the movie's got everything we've come to expect -- double crosses, mistaken identities, a lone man in a network of corruption, the rat on the inside, man vs. woman vs. work, gasp-worthy stunts, terrific gadgetry (Cruise's latex transformation into PSH is very cool) -- it all feels fresh, not dredged. And that's purely a function of Abrams.
In short, this third installment is clearer than the first (whose plot was Rubik's cubish) and grittier than the second (which was a tad too Woo). Now if only the filmmakers had passed on Kanye West's insipid and laughable Mission: Impossible rap, which clatters over the end credits.
P.S. I hate to feed into the "Cruise is crazy" frenzy, but this is really funny. He really made that guy's day.

ah, but you'll remember Michelle Monaghan from one of your top ten of oh-five: the incomprable kiss kiss, bang bang. and, oh isn't she a looker. ... and Billy Crudup has been working, on the other side of this grand country. he recently won my heart in last season's the pillowman on broadway.
and yes, that was me who removed my own post a few moments ago. sorry. no extra drama involved.

Monaghan was better used in Kiss Kiss. And ever since Crudup was in Almost Famous, I have wanted him to conquer the arenas of both stage and film. Yes, he was good in Pillowman (I was there with you Stritchy, or do things get hazy after nine scotch 'n' sodas?), but he was just as good in Almost Famous, Jesus' Son, etc.

Of course things GOT hazy after a few itty bitty drinkies... but, you'll remember the night I took my shirt off in front of you, I explained I'm done drinking. Guess I must've chosen to forget you were there with me JJ.

Harmony was the lucky community of choice for the Calgary Stampede 2016 ROTARY DREAM HOME WINNER. On November 17th, we joined our builder, Homes By Avi for a special presentation to the winning family of the home. We present the story as written by Christian Orme, of Homes By Avi
Christmas comes once a year. It's a time that we spend months preparing for; carefully hand selecting presents our loved ones will enjoy, spending hours strategically putting up lights, planning the most delicious menu for our guests and, of course, taking countless photos to capture the festivities. Then, in one quick day, it's all over.
At Homes by Avi, we treat the dream home release like Christmas! Months of planning go into the creation of the dream home. From our innovative design team to our construction crews and interior decorators, it's all hands on deck to make this project a reality for the lucky winners.
On November 17, we handed over the keys of the home to the Daly family. And what an event it was. This memorable day marked the first time Kelvin, Tina and their three young boys actually got to see and explore the home!
"We're just blown away by it!" Tina exclaimed when asked for her first impression of the home. "Because we hadn't seen it we didn't know what to expect. We came out to Harmony after we won to see the community, and we've been by to see the house in its stages."
And to think the Daly Family almost didn't buy tickets.
"We decided to buy 50/50 tickets, we actually spent $100 on them, so that was it—our contribution for the day," Kelvin tells us. "We had a wonderful day (at the Calgary stampede) on all the rides and were about to head off. Storm clouds were coming in and Tina asked me, did you buy any tickets for the house? And I said no." Not being one to say no to his wife Kelvin went and purchased tickets. "We hadn't even seen what the home looked like."
Having spent the past few years working away Kelvin was missing out on the day-to-day excitement of watching his children grow up, and Tina was under a lot of pressure raising their three young boys. Fionn, their eldest son was born at just 28 weeks, and had to spend six months in the NICU. Today he has a very serious heart condition that affects his life and how he lives it.
"This win has given me the opportunity to move home full-time. There's no more working away. It's incredible; it's a learning experience for us all, but it's fantastic to be home to help Tina in the evenings, take the boys to hockey and watch them grow up."
"I'm not divided in three anymore; it's cool," Tina adds, "It's given us financial security and taken a lot of pressure off of us. I'm thinking about going back to work for a little while."
It's definitely been an interesting journey for the Daly family, but we couldn't hide our excitement when we handed them the keys to the new home.
"It's like a dream," Tina smiled, with her husband adding, "the dream is a reality. Today's the day we've been waiting for. To walk in and just be wowed by it."

News in Brief Week 3
Professor Pleads Not Guilty to Arson
After being held without bail since his arrest on July 27, former UC Irvine professor of pharmacology Rainer Klaus Reinscheid pleaded not guilty to all counts last Thursday.
Accused of plotting to burn down University High School after allegedly setting fires at the homes of several school officials, Reinscheid faces a total of nine felony arson charges, one count of attempted arson and a misdemeanor count of resisting arrest. The ninth felony charge of arson was added early last week, but prosecutors have yet to release details as to what prompted the new charge.
Police have continued to investigate the incidents of last summer since Reinscheid's arrest. If convicted, Reinscheid faces a maximum sentence of 24 years and four months in a state penitentiary.
UCI Freshmen Applicants at Record High
With a record high of 60,619 freshman applicants and more than 15,000 transfer applicants, a total of 76,235 students applied this past fall for the opportunity to attend UC Irvine and become Anteaters.
This record high of 76,235 marks a nine percent increase from last year's pool and ranks UCI as the fourth-highest campus in the UC system based on number of applications.
"The numbers demonstrate once again the high demand for a UC Irvine education," Brent Yunek, assistant vice chancellor for enrollment services, said.
The data from this year's applicant pool shows an astonishing 50 percent increase in nonresident applications and a 21 percent increase in underrepresented minorities — predominantly from a 26 percent increase in Chicano applicants.
MSU Hosts Islam Awareness Week
In an effort to "encourage dialogue, dispel misconceptions, and bring thought-provoking content to the entire campus community on topics related to Islam," the UC Irvine chapter of the Muslim Student Union (MSU) will be hosting Islam Awareness Week this Tuesday through Friday.
In the spirit of encouraging discourse amongst the campus, this Thursday, Jan. 24, the MSU will be challenging women on campus to wear the traditional headscarf — a hijab — to walk a day in the shoes of a Muslim woman.
The challenge will be followed by an evening event wherein participants will reflect on their experiences throughout the day.

Fund for Our Economic Future Approves $3 Million of Funding to Support Northeast Ohio Economy
March 9, 2016
EAST CLEVELAND--March 9, 2016--The members of the Fund for Our Economic Future (the Fund), a philanthropic collaboration, have approved $3 million of funding to advance business development and job creation in Northeast Ohio, with the end goal of growing the regional economy so that all people -- not just some -- benefit. The awards set in motion the Fund's strategy for the next three years of its work, which was approved by members and adopted in December 2015.
Notably, for the first time in the Fund's 12-year history, members approved both grants and non-grant instruments. These alternative funding arrangements are designed to stretch the Fund's resources and ensure beneficiaries of philanthropically funded services ultimately contribute to supporting regional economic competitiveness work.
The recipients of funding included:
The Fund also announced the outcomes from its support to job creation grantee partners over the last three years. In 2013-2015, these partners helped generate more than 6,100 additional jobs, add $361 million in payroll, and attract $1.76 billion in capital. The jobs added over this three-year period continue to be high-paying jobs, with an average annual salary of about $59,000, compared to a regional average of just over $47,000. Since the Fund's founding in 2004, our efforts have helped retain or create a total of more than 18,500 jobs, add nearly $760 million in payroll and attract just over $4 billion in capital to the region.
While the resource allocation decisions made on March 8, focus primarily on job creation, Fund members will continue to work throughout the year on issues related to job preparation and job access. It's this three-tiered approach -- which the Fund calls Growth & Opportunity -- that will advance an inclusive economy where all people benefit. This approach is apt now more than ever in light of recent reports, such as the one from the Economic Innovation Groupshowing Cleveland as the most economically distressed among large cities in the U.S.
"Economists around the globe have observed the negative correlation between economic disparity and sustained economic growth and the Fund for Our Economic Future has confirmed this in our own "What Matters to Metros" research," said Chair Brian Frederick, president and CEO of the Community Foundation of Lorain County. "Healthy economies are ones that provide access to opportunity for all of their citizens."
The latest round of grants and grant alternatives were approved at a quarterly board meeting on Tuesday, hosted by Fund member The McGregor Foundation in East Cleveland. Members also elected three new initiative leaders: Deborah Vesy, president and CEO of Deaconess Foundation, as Job Preparation Initiative Leader; Robert Jaquay, associate director of The George Gund Foundation, as Job Access Initiative Leader; and Jennifer Roller, president of The Raymond John Wean Foundation, as Regional Engagement Initiative Leader. William H. Gary, Sr., executive vice president, Workforce, Community and Economic Development Division, Cuyahoga Community College, was elected as an at-large member of the Executive Committee.
Following the resource allocation decisions, Fund members heard from Robert Weissbourd of Chicago-based RW Ventures on the topic of Neighborhood Business Planning, one tool for supporting inclusive economic growth that calls for improving connections between neighborhoods and the regional economy. And following the meeting, several members had a chance to enjoy lunch with East Cleveland Mayor Gary Norton, Jr., who provided vivid context and instruction for those grappling with the realities of inequality and economic distress in their own communities.

|About the Fund for Our Economic Future
The Fund for Our Economic Future is an alliance of funders -- foundations, corporations, universities, health care systems, business and civic associations, government entities, and individuals -- who pool their resources and collective know-how to advance economic growth and increase access to opportunity for the people of Northeast Ohio through improved job creation, job preparation and job access, an approach we call Growth & Opportunity. We do this by building shared community commitment, supporting high-impact collaborations and marshalling strategic funding. Since our founding in 2004, the Fund has raised more than $100 million for improving regional economic competitiveness. Our efforts have helped retain or create more than 18,500 jobs, add $760 million in payroll, and attract $4 billion in capital to Northeast Ohio.

For that is the time when man's intelligence itself, his greatest implement is being formed. But not only his intelligence: the full totality of his psychic powers. At no other age has the child greater need of an intelligent help, and any obstacle that impedes his creative work will lessen the chance he has of achieving perfection." – The Absorbent Mind by Dr. Maria Montessori

A&0 A NEW ANALYSIS OF BEAUTY / Burkhardt Söll & Paul du Bois-Reymond
35 etchings by Burkhardt Söll & Paul du Bois-Reymond
Poems by Manuela du Bois-Reymond
Essay by Richard Grasshoff
Printed on Velin Johannot 240g, Arches
Designed by Machine
Printed in an edition of 40 numbered and signed copies
Size: 25,5 x 34 cm
Paul du Bois-Reymond (Berlin, 1974) is one half of the graphic design collective Machine. He has been active in the field of experimental graphics since the mid-nineties, with his first collective DEPT. Machine made numerous record covers, posters and visual identities for the music/club scene, cultural institutions as well as big global brands.
Next to graphic design, the collective has always been involved in different art projects and performances, where they experimented with various media. Inspired by the work of his father, Burkhardt Soell, DBR has picked up the art of etching a few years ago. Soell and DBR have collaborated on two collector book projects consisting of a collection of etchings and poetry. These projects have lead DBR to become fascinated with this technique, resulting in an unconventional approach to a traditional art form.
DBR's etchings celebrate psychedelic mutations of typography, street graphics and aesthetics, often placed in apocalyptic settings.

The Republic of Panama, located in Central America is surrounded by two oceans: Atlantic Sea ( Caribbean Sea ) and the Pacific Ocean; taking precedence as a tourist destination for sport fishing. The waters of the Gulf of Panama hold up various fishing records of marlins and sailfish and has been adopted the "catch and release" method in order to conservate the species.
A rich historic heritage can be appreciated in the old quarter (Spanish: "Casco Antiguo" or "Casco Viejo") of the capital city in Panama through its monuments and centennial walls of colonial churches, such as: metropolitan Cathedral, Las Bovedas monument, Canal Museum, San Jose and San Felipe de Neri Churches.
Get out of the routine and enjoy with your partner in these destinations: the historict district of Panama city, the Pearl Islands in the Pacific coast of Panama and in Anton's Valley: where the nature will captivate your senses.

Want to watch Atlanta Plastic online? Continue reading for more information.
Atlanta Plastic is returning to Lifetime for a new season on March 25 at 10 PM ET. Even though Lifetime is a cable network there are a few low-cost, legal ways to watch Atlanta Plastic online without a cable connection. The following guide will tell you everything you need to watch online in either live stream or on-demand formats.
Watch the Atlanta Plastic Live Stream with Sling TV
Sling TV is a live stream service that offers access to 20 popular cable channels including Lifetime, which means you can watch the Atlanta Plastic live stream each week. Sling TV also offers channels like AMC and TNT and, in addition to the live stream, they provide a limited on-demand library as well. The basic service is just $20 a month with no contracts, so you can cancel at any time. In addition to the 20 channels, you can also add on various packages to add to your channel count based on interests like sports or local channels.
Sling TV is offering new subscribers a 7-day free trial to check out the service, so you'll be able to watch Atlanta Plastic online free at least once before your trial ends. If you decide to remain a member and pay for three months of service, you can choose between a free Roku 2 and 50% off a Roku 3. Since Sling TV is actually cheaper than the cost of the Roku 2, it's like getting a deal on your Roku and getting 3 months of Sling TV for free! This deal won't last, so make sure to sign up while you can!
Want to learn more about Sling TV? Check out our full review here.
Other Ways to Watch Atlanta Plastic Online
There may not be many ways to watch Atlanta Plastic streaming online, but one option is to buy the episodes. The nice thing about this option is that you will own the episodes and can watch them any time you want. The downside is the price can rack up quickly if you're buying several shows.
- Amazon Instant Video: Amazon offers the best prices around as far as streaming services go. New episodes are $2 unless you go with the season pass, which makes each episode cheaper. Episodes arrive the day after they air on TV in most cases.
- Vudu: Vudu is a lot like Amazon. The prices are similar with new episodes coming to $2 apiece, and the season pass option lowers the per episode cost. New episodes arrive on the same schedule as they do with Amazon.
- iTunes & Google Play: iTunes and Google Play both work best for tablet users. New episodes are closer to $3, though most shows do offer a season pass to get the cost down. Episodes arrive at the same time as with other services.
If you're hoping to watch Atlanta Plastic online free, your only real option is the Sling TV trial. Otherwise, you'll need to stick with the low-cost options available to watch Atlanta Plastic online. Any questions? Just leave us a comment. Otherwise, be sure to check out all of our other guides for tips of how to watch TV online.

May 19, 2005 · Lessig
I got an email from Bruce Lehman, which was very big of him after I criticized him for his claim that I "seem[] to believe you can have a post-industrial economy without any copyrights."
Anyway, Bruce's email (and to be clear, it was sent not just to me, but to me as a "IIPI Supporter" (which has as much connection to the truth as his statement above)) was proud to announce a new section on the IIPI website called a "Discussion Forum."
The discussion forum was inspired by the "debate surrounding the European Union�s (EU) proposed Directive on Computer Implemented Inventions (CII)." As Bruce writes, "It is important to remember that the patentability of computer implemented inventions, or lack there of, will have a profound effect on European industry and competitiveness." Absolutely right, which is why is it so good that the IIPI has opened a discussion forum on their site so people can contribute to the "discussion" about IIPI's strong support for this software patent initiative.
I encourage all to answer Bruce's call: You can find the "CII Discussion Forum" here. And be sure to spread the word!

If there's anything dangerous about working in the Computer Science field, it's the prospect of getting left behind. Every day new technological advancements are being made, languages are being updated, and people are coming up with new and better ways to do crazier and more badass stuff.
Being fluent in 8 computer languages already feels awesome, but why not keep going? I'm gonna major in Computer Science, and I decided I wanted to know Java, so I spent 10 hours every day for 3 weeks immersed in it. And now I can officially say I'm fluent in my 9th language.
Learning this language helped reinforce my recent epiphany that the number of programming languages I know will never be enough. Not only because I love the satisfaction of being fluent in a language after working hard to achieve a certain level of proficiency, but also because there are just so many damn languages out there to learn.
I'm happy to make this announcement, and I've already posted my first Java project for you to see, a 2D space shooter videogame!
