If you are PDA or smart phone user who goes online wirelessly, have you noticed that some sites are now offering alternative URLs that are mobile friendly? They all start with http://m. (for "mobile") and some popular sites I've found include:
I'm sure there are more out there, and plenty yet to appear. Unfortunately I have yet to find a way of locating or searching for the sites. Even googling "site: http://m." is a bit hit and miss.
However, I did discover this mobile content proxy from Google (not sure how official it is?) – mobile Google uses this automatically when you browse frm search results. I suppose the question is, do we need alternative sites for small screen users or just better standards- and XML-based web design that will work anywhere?

Earlier in the month corporate social software company, Social Text, launched it's mobile wiki or "Miki". Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, the bank that served as a case study for McAfee's Enterprise 2.0 article, has apparently been beta testing it.
With my own interest in social software and mobile knowledge management I thought that this would be something worth taking a closer look at…
Well, basically it appears the Miki is a stripped down version of Social Text's core wiki product. I'm not entirely sure the name will take off, but that's the least of my criticism because I'm not really sure how much of a breakthrough this it…
I don't know about you, but my PDA has a full colour screen and a rich user-interface – so why do I want a stripped down tool on my PDA?
Well, lets look at Google's Gmail for inspiration as they offer a PDA and mobile phone Web-browser optimised version. I want to see this level of functionality and integration in my mobile wiki before I get too excited!

While McAfee might be excited about the potiential for social software in the enterprise, Jason has embarked on listing the 10 things he hates about wikis. But don't worry, it all constructive criticism. Also check Rami's requirements for the perfect wiki (from 2004!).
From my point of view its about the difference between social software form and function. We should aim to improve the form without changing the function so it stops being social software.
Tags: social software, usability, wikis
Over the weekend I finally had a chance to look over a copy of the Enterprise 2.0 article. At the same time I was also re-reading The Victorian Internet by Tom Standage. A odd combination you might think, but a good way of ensuring I don't get myself caught up too much in the hype – one of the messages in Standage's book is that technologies never quite have the "utopian" impact we think they will, but they still have an impact.
Ok. Very briefly this is what I like and don't like about McAfee's Enterprise 2.0 vision:
On the other hand I was disappointed not to see some mention about the consumer driven innovation seen in the Internet social software space and the impact this pressure will put on organisations to change their approaches to IT. Similarly, while McAfee notes that centralised intranets hinder effective search because such intranets lack the dense links that we find on the World Wide Web, he does not link this to his point about management control that he raises later. I've discussed some of these things in the Intranet Imperative last year.
Finally – and perhaps this is a little out of scope – a mention of the issues that the ideology of self-service within organisations has also created in terms of information and knowledge sharing might have added some further context to the discussion around the challenges of getting knowledge workers to use this stuff. Why would we expect everyone to contribute in the same way as their peers? Think about The Tipping Point and the different roles of Connectors, Mavens, and Salesmen.

I have to admit that I don't really listen to Podcasts, primarily they don't really fit my way of working but also I don't find them very interactive. The fact that Podcasts aren't really hyper-linkable yet by the masses makes them an interesting but still just a one-way content distribution system. Taking this a bit further, Steve Rubel, in his Micro Persuasion blog, asks if Podcasting is evolutionary or revolutionary?
"Podcasting is an important medium, no doubt. It changed how people listen to audio and where that content comes from. On the other hand, podcasting is not very social. It's largely unidirectional. It's about democratized distribution. In five years time podcasting will be seen as evolutionary while Wikipedia, social networking and blogging will be viewed as revolutionary because they are dialogue driven, scannable and searchable in mainstream Web search engines."
However, perhaps its just a question of time as we see tools like Podzinger emerge that let us search Podcasts and zero in on what interests us. Podzinger is google for audio data that converts speech to text so it can be indexed.

Care of Lifehacker and Micro Persuasion, Christian Science Monitor discusses the latest etiquette challenges of our always on, always connected world including ipods and wireless headsets ("The first question when you greet someone in our office is, 'Are you on the phone?' They don't know, with wireless headsets.").
This article talks about a room full of publicists at a lunch forum, all tapping away at their PDAs and Blackberries rather than listening to the speaker. I remember when this used to be a common occurrence at internal meetings in organisations, but now it looks like this bad tech-behaviour is leaking outside as wireless connectivity becomes even more wide spread.

Would you talk some sense into me next time?
Yes, at about 5 pm, I realized that I was in deep. Due to a missing roasting pan, a long-cooking turkey, too much beef to cook in one round, etc, etc, my afternoon stretched into evening. When FishPapa came home, I still had beef to shred, turkey to bone, ragu to cool, gravy to make, yada yada yada.
Earlier I got a little stressed making mac and cheese. I knew several of you were going to try my recipe and I became nervous that it wouldn't be as "life changing" as I promised. I normally use large elbows, but today used small elbow macaroni. It looks different with small elbows, a little less saucy. If you're tackling that recipe, you may want to add an extra 1/2 cup sour cream and an extra handful of cheese to make up for that.
Tonight we had simple turkey sandwiches for dinner instead of whatever was planned. And here at 8:25 I've finished the last load of dishes for the day. I've kinda committed myself to more cooking tomorrow, but I don't think it will be half as difficult as today was. I am thankful that I didn't try to do anything but cook today.
Things cooling or already frozen:
beef ragu
taco meat
beef taquitos
red sauce
turkey enchilada casserole
roast turkey
macaroni and cheese
shredded beef for tacos and for gravy
beef tamales
turkey pot pie
mashed potatoes
slab apple pie
cookies? maybe/maybe not.
How did you do?

A visit to Abby Winters, recorded
Over the years we have put out many interviews, either in text format, video (here's a half hour long interview with Viv) and now here's an audio recording of when Viv and I went to the Adult Webmaster show in Amsterdam in September 2012. It was a good solid weekend filled with business and we made great contacts that stood us in great stead for the following years.
Amsterdam in September
On arrival, we hopped off the plane at Schiphol and shuttled straight into the center of town, heading for our first meeting. Abby Winters had invited us to come over to see their offices and they really were fantastic. Hinged right on a picturesque canal, they were situated right in the center of this bustling, vibrant Dutch city. We walked in the door and the entire team was sitting around waiting for us to come and chat to them. It was kind of a surprise, but this "fireside chat" turned out really well. Viv's storytelling abilities captivated the Abby Winter's team for well over an hour.
One of our longer podcasts
This podcast may be a bit long, but for those who want to listen, I really hope you settle in and enjoy it. Let us know what you think, please?
Here are a few photos behind the scenes on the set of Story of She 2 which at the time (September 2012), we had just finished filming. It went on to be our best selling title of 2013!

Thanksgiving is in four days. Four days! Where'd my year go? Gah!!!
Today I am baking herb bread so I can cut it into cubes and let it go stale. Yup. That's how I do my dressing, and so far no one's complained they don't like it. The dough is on its first rising as I type. I dig bread dough - it's alive! Watching it poof up, slowly encroaching on the edges of the rising bowl, is kind nifty.
In a couple of hours it'll be in the oven, making Casa de Crazy smell fantastic. I'm baking two batches, which will yield four loaves. Not all of it is for dressing, but I have learned that I need to make extra - filling the house with that delectable scent and not having any to nom on is just about the height of cruelty!
I'll be doing little things all week to get ready for Thursday. We're not having a huge crowd and I'm not cooking a huge feast, I just don't want to have a ton of work to do in one day, and some things do better when they've had a day or three to sit and mingle.
Tomorrow I am shooting photos at K2's place - this time of year she comes off the road and updates her online presence and I help by shooting pics and writing Etsy posts for her. There's a link on her sidebar if you're interested in some fantastic art and wearables!
The rest of the week will have me in and out of the kitchen and tidying the Casa (which isn't as much work as it has been because I've been kinds sorta keeping up with it a tiny bit more).
How's your week shaping up?

The popular stereotype of college campuses as a hive of same-sex experimentation for young women may be all wrong.
To the surprise of many researchers and sex experts, the National Survey on Family Growth found that women with bachelor's degrees were actually less likely to have had a same-sex experience than those who did not finish high school.
"It's definitely a 'huh' situation, because it goes counter to popular perceptions," said Kaaren Williamsen, director of Carleton College's gender and sexuality center.
For years, sex researchers, campus women's centers and the media have viewed college as a place where young women explore their sexuality, test boundaries, and, often, have their first — in some cases, only — lesbian relationship.
That phenomenon gave rise to the term LUG (lesbian until graduation). In 2003, a New York magazine article, "Bi for Now," suggested that women's involvement in their college's gay scene exposed them to a different culture, like junior year abroad in Gay World.Continue reading the main story
But according to the new study, conducted by the
Six percent of college-educated women reported oral sex with a same-sex partner, compared with 13 percent who did not complete high school.
Anjani Chandra was the lead author of the report, based on data from 2006 through 2008.
Although 13 percent of women over all reported same-sex sexual behavior only one percent identified themselves as gay, and another 4 percent as bisexual. To get accurate answers to intimate questions, the researchers asked those surveyed to enter their responses directly into a computer.
"It's like a Rubik's cube of sexuality, where you turn it a different way, and the factors don't fit together," said Rea Carey, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. "It may be that the commonly held wisdom was wrong, that people just liked to imagine women in college having sex together, or it may be that society has changed, and as more people come out publicly, in politics or on television, we are getting a clearer view of the breadth of sexuality."
The findings are especially striking — and puzzling — since the previous round of the survey, in 2002, found no pattern of educational differences in women's sexual behavior. Most of the change came from higher levels of same-sex behavior reported by the women without diplomas.
"I always thought the LUG phenomenon was overblown, in the context of it being erotically titillating for young men," said Barbara Risman, an officer of the Council on Contemporary Families and a
Amber Hollibaugh, interim executive director of Queers for Economic Justice, a New York-based advocacy group, said the results of the federal survey underscored how poor, minority and working-class lesbians had been overshadowed by the mainstream cultural image of lesbians as white professionals.
"Working with a gay-rights group is now something you'd put on your résumé," said Ms. Hollibaugh, who did not attend college. "Lesbians who aren't college-educated professionals are pretty much invisible."
Dan Savage, a gay sex columnist in
Lisa Diamond, a professor of
Most headlines about the report, released earlier this month, focused on a finding that young people were waiting longer to have sex. Almost 29 percent of the females and 27 percent of the males, age 15 to 24, had had no sexual contact, an increase from 22 percent for both sexes in the 2002 survey.
The gender gap on homosexuality remains substantial: Twice as many women as men reported same-sex behavior. Three percent of the women — and 5 percent of the least-educated women — said they were attracted equally to men and women, compared with one percent of the men.
"A lot of data shows that women's sexuality is more hetero-flexible, more influenced by what they see around them," Professor Diamond said.
In the past, she said, a women with a single homosexual relationship would have been labeled gay, and urged to accept that identity. But now there is a growing sense that a lesbian relationship need not define a woman.
"It's becoming more acceptable, at least in some parts of society, to see your sexual identity as fluid," said Joan Westreich, a

Two Cal State Dominguez Hills professors launched a petition drive Thursday to block a proposed "success fee" that would raise costs for students.
The push came a day after President Willie J. Hagan advised in a campus email that he would recommend to Cal State Chancellor Timothy P. White that the fee be approved.
White recently approved so-called student success fees at San Diego State and Cal State Fullerton. Eleven of Cal State's 23 campuses have now enacted the fees, with most revenue used to hire faculty and counselors and improve other student services that suffered during a period of budget cuts.
The fees, though, have divided many campuses, with opponents arguing they are a little-disguised sidestep around raising tuition. The success fees are in addition to annual tuition of $5,472 and other campus-based fees that average $1,200.
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees on Wednesday, more than 100 student protesters from several campuses urged White to roll back the success fees.
In their change.org petition, sociology professor Jose Prado and interdisciplinary studies professor Vivian Price wrote that the great majority of students at the Carson campus are working mothers who would be hard-pressed to pay additional costs for their education:
"It is obvious that their education under these conditions is really much more than time dedicated to pursue an academic dream. It is a stake in their families' welfare in today's trying economic times."
The Dominguez Hills proposal initially called for a $280 per-semester success fee to take effect in the fall of 2014.
After a number of forums and recommendations from students and others, Hagan said in his email, the proposed fee would be phased in over a three-year period starting with $200 in the spring of 2015.
The proposal also calls for increasing the tuition and fee installment plan from three payments to five, appointing an additional student to the University Budget Committee and creating a Student Success Scholarship Grant program.
"My goal is to strengthen our learning environment and bolster the outstanding efforts of our dedicated faculty and staff in supporting our students and helping them to succeed," Hagan said.
Price and Prado, however, said they were disappointed that students' call for a referendum was rejected by Hagan.
"Chancellor White and President Hagan, our students should not pay for the mismanagement and poor administrative decisions that each of you have inherited. Nor should the fee increase keep them from contributing to their families' and communities' well being as it also stands to do. We respectfully ask you to reject the recommendation to implement the student success fee."

To diagnose hypertension, you need to qualify and quantify it (use 24h-RR), screen for endorgan failure (eyes, brain, heart, kidneys, peripheral vessels) with TTE, fundoscopy and basic labs (urine proteine).
Whenever you introduce the third antihypertensive agent in your stroke patient, you deal with resistant hypertension and thus should think of the AHA guidelines on this topic. In particular you ought to think of the ABCDE mnemonic for secondary hypertension causes (to be found here and slightly enhanced below):
- A: Adherence [history], aldosterone [elytes, do a morning aldosterone/renin plasma test], apnea (obstructive) [history/physical]
- B: Bruits (renal artery stenosis) [auscultation, ultrasound/MRA/CTA]), bad kidneys [urine proteine, creatinine, urea]
- C: Cushing [physical, basic labs, cortisole profile], Catecholamines [history, 24h-urine for the homovanillin… thingy, metanephrines and normetanephrines], aortic Coarctation [RR left/right, legs]
- D: Drugs (NSAIDS, estrogens, cortisone, bromocriptine, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, ephedrine/catecholamines, …), Diet (obesity!, sodium)
- E: ndocrine [TSH, hyperparathyroidism], EPO

Simple blood test could revolutionize schizophrenia diagnosis
Feb. 28 - An inexpensive blood test to diagnose schizophrenia could be made available within two years, offering a groundbreaking alternative to conventional methods that rely on conversations between patients and doctors. Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that is difficult to detect, but the blood test promises to identify the disease in 83 percent of cases. Jim Drury reports.
Kirsty Trigg endured 11 years of misery before her schizophrenia was diagnosed. Like many sufferers she would hear voices, making daily life an ordeal. SOUNDBITE (English) KIRSTY TRIGG, SCHIZOPHRENIC PATIENT, SAYING: "Wherever I went I was interrupted, I was hearing things that were sometimes unpleasant, just constant, constant, persistent interruptions and I couldn't think about things without feeling like I was always fighting with my head which was not doing the things I wanted to do." With a diagnosis and medication, Kirsty now has the voices under control, but she says it took a long time to realise she was schizophrenic. She hopes that a simple blood test pioneered by Cambridge University neuroscientist Professor Sabine Bahn will help others avoid such trauma. It's the first clinical diagnostic test of one of the most serious mental illnesses. SOUNDBITE (English) PROFESSOR SABINE BAHN, NEUROSCIENTIST AT UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE, SAYING: "At the moment the diagnosis of schizophrenia is still based on an interview, it's just asking question (like) 'do you hear voices or do you believe that people are out to get you?' If someone doesn't tell you 'yes' to these answers you would have no idea, there's no brain imaging test or anything to distinguish whether someone has schizophrenia or is just a little bit strange or odd." Bahn's team tested the blood of almost 600 schizophrenia patients, alongside that of healthy volunteers. Having identified 51 proteins associated with mental illnesses, they used an algorithm to establish the probability of mental illness in each of the volunteers. They correctly identified 83 percent of sufferers. Tel Aviv university researcher Dr Noam Shomron, who's working on his own method of clinical diagnoses for schizophrenia, says he's impressed by Bahn's research. SOUNDBITE (English) DR NOAM SHOMRON (PRON: KNOW-AMM SHUMRONN), TEL AVIV UNIVERSITY RESEARCHER, SAYING: "This is a huge leap, because currently there is no molecule that you can measure that, in order to diagnose the disease, and any molecular markers easily accessible would be a huge leap in our understanding." Bahn says the test isn't yet accurate enough to be used on its own, but will help doctors make their diagnosis. Since her own diagnosis Kirsty Trigg has returned to work and lives a normal life. She believes early clinical identification of schizophrenia will help others cope with the stigma surrounding the illness. SOUNDBITE (English) KIRSTY TRIGG, SCHIZOPHRENIC PATIENT, SAYING: "If I'd had that diagnosis I would have been able to equip myself better and not had to have so many hurdles along the way, and I think for some people again if you can accept, encourage people to accept a diagnosis, or at least communicate it to the people around them it's probably life saving." Bahn hopes blood tests will help doctors identify and treat the disease in its early stages. Working with US-based diagnostic company Myriad Geneticx, she hopes to launch the test within 18 months.

Buy (unchanged)
Share price: SGD0.27
Target price: SGD0.40 (from SGD0.465)
In Crisis Lies Opportunity
Unsuccessful in both Myanmar airport tenders. Having earlier estimated a 50% chance for Yongnam's consortium in both the Hanthawaddy International Aiport (HIA) and Yangon International Airport (YIA) extension, we are disappointed at the outcome. However, given that 1) material impact in the short-medium term is small and 2) there is still a remote possibility of getting back into the projects, we think share price has been over-penalized.
Very close calls. The Myanmar government will now enter into direct negotiations with consortiums led by Incheon International Airport for HIA and Pioneer Aerodrome Services for YIA. We believe the final decisions were very close calls, as evident by the naming of Yongnam's consortium as back-up tenderers for both projects. We believe the final decisions were swayed more by overall package terms rather than technical expertise.
Share price over-penalized. Share price has corrected more than 20% in the past three weeks. Materially, we estimate YIA would have added around SGD9m of profit to FY14, while HIA would have only contributed from FY16 onwards. This also excludes execution risks given the brand-new market and need for equity investment on Yongnam's part. This development also does not change our core investment thesis that the company is well-placed to benefit from the infrastructure build-up in Asia.
Other contract catalysts. The company is in close negotiations for several more sizeable contracts, which will be announced within the next few months. Potential work to commence in 2H13 includes MS Development, Hong Kong MTR extension and Thomson Circle line. These could change the orderbook profile significantly. We are now expecting around SGD300m in order wins for the rest of the year.
Maintain BUY. We scale back on our TP to account for 1) SGD4.5cent/ share we originally factored in for a 50% chance of winning YIA 2) Using 9x FY14F (one-standard deviation above 5-year average mean PER). Our new TP is now SGD0.40. Trading at 1x P/B and 3x EV/EBITDA, we believe the stock is undervalued and see this development as an opportunity rather than crisis. Maintain BUY.

If I'd known that the prize for having over 17 million YouTube views was getting to open for Selena Gomez, then I would have tried a little harder to get more than a paltry 26 views on my secret YouTube channel (which, if anyone's interested, features me doing covers of Mariah Carey songs, exclusively). I guess I should take a cue then, from Selena Gomez's opening act, 17-year-old New Jersey native Christina Grimmie (thanks, Internet!) who's known to YouTubers worldwide as zeldaxlove64.
Christina Grimmie has the distinct honor of being the seventh most popular YouTube musician of all time... and did we mention she also has the distinct honor of opening up for Selena Gomez? We said that, right?
Probably best known for her cover of Nelly's "Just A Dream," Christina's cover choices range from Adele to Gaga to Jessie J, to Cee Lo. But unlike some other fleeting internet cover stars who use a karaoke backing track, Christina accompanies herself on the piano and also performs original material.
Her first single, "Advice," was recently released on Radio Disney. The overarching vibe is pop/rock, but we can't deny that Christina's voice has a subtle tinge of R&B that feels like if Hayley Williams and Rihanna, somehow folded themselves into one person. In addition to opening for Selena, Christina has also opened for, wait for it, THE JONAS BROTHERS (we'll pause for gasps) and prior to being her official opening act, Christina sang backup vocals for Selena Gomez as well.
Christina Grimmie's first EP, entitled Find Me, is out TODAY so go cop it on iTunes!

Italy presented itself in Strömstad as one of the most feared teams. With the current World Champion in PreO and the leader of the European Cup, respectively Michele Cera and Remo Madella, in the team, the Azzurri still brought with them the European title in TrailO Relay, recently achieved in the Czech Republic. Given this, the 5th place and the corresponding diploma of Madella in the TempO competition it's a small profit to those who had justified expectations in something else. Still a word to the 19th place of Piergiorgio Zancanaro in the PreO competition, Paralympic Class, the best result in this class in the last 7 years.
+ Remo Madella was the star of the team. His qualification for the TempO final wasn't easy - he was the last athlete stamping the passport to the decisive race - but in the moments that counted he shone at the highest level. It is true that he had in the PreO his worst result ever in seven presences in the World Championships, but a podium is always a podium and speaks louder than anything else.
- Alessio Tenani wasn't particularly happy during the World Championships, failing in the moments where to fail was forbidden. After the brilliant performance in the TempO qualification, Tenani wouldn't go beyond the 16th place in the Final. His PreO result was also below the expectations and one mistake on the PreO part of the TrailO Relay deprived the European Champions of being present on the podium.

Advertising on the internet can be very expensive for small businesses. Search engine marketing can need a lot of money and the bigger firms can outdo the smaller companies in no time. How does one find a solution to this situation? Is there a more affordable way of marketing for smaller companies who don't have big budgets for advertising?One of the major challenges of marketing your business online is being available to the user when the user needs you. Advertising on the internet serves this purpose to an extent, but there are limitations to it.1. There is no guarantee that your customer will notice your advertisement.2. Those who do notice the advertisement may not be your target audience.3. Even if they are your target customers, they may not be in the frame of mind to register the message about your business.4. Only sustained advertising which is expensive can give you a chance to be noticed by your target audience.However, small businesses that do not have fancy budgets to spend on advertising cannot afford this kind of marketing. This makes reaching the target audience even more difficult. What does one do then? Try and leverage the internet.Challenges of advertising on the Internet: Advertising on the internet has a lot of challenges. Some of them are:1. It is very expensive.2. Established internet marketing agencies that can advertise for you may not find your scale of operations or budgets lucrative.3. There are a lot of scams and fly by night operators who earn their money at the cost of your business.4. There are billions of websites that you are competing against and you need to get noticed among these websites.What happens then to small businesses that are looking at getting noticed by their target audience on the internet? Search Engine Marketing can help such businesses to get noticed and grow their business. Over 60% of the people use search engines before deciding on anything.Advantages of search engines for a business: 1. People look for your products and business when they search on the internet. If you are available to them at that time, it will help your business grow.2. Instead of you trying to get to your customers, they try to find you.3. It is the best time to reach your customer when he is searching for you because then he is most receptive to your message.4. While advertising on the internet is expensive, being on the search engine and appearing among the top search results when your customer needs you need not be very expensive.To leverage the power of search engines, for most growing businesses, it makes marketing sense to outsource SEO to a credible and ethical SEO firm. You gain from their resident SEO expertise, results achieved last for months after the SEO effort is stopped and the biggest gain is that you are able to make search engines market your products and services.

Guy P.R. Métraux, Sculptors and Physicians in Fifth-Century Greece: A Preliminary Study. McGill-Queen's University Press, Montreal & Kingston, 1995. Pp. xvi + 154, Ill. 15. US$39.95. ISBN 0-7735-1231-4.
Reviewed by Mark D. Fullerton, History of Art, Ohio State University, firstname.lastname@example.com.
This study is representative of a growing interest in recent scholarship in exploring the relationships between medical texts and sculpture in Classical Greece.1 The premise is a logical one. Each sculptural representation of the human body has as its frame of reference the human body itself. Traditionally, we have constructed that frame of reference from what we perceive the human body to look like as well as what we know about its functions. The use of ancient medical texts should ideally allow us to evaluate sculptural representations according to what the ancients themselves thought about human anatomy and physiology. In this way we can attach meaning to certain renderings of anatomical features and thus can construct what may be called an iconography of anatomy. The study of sculpture would thereby replace formalistic views of stylistic change and subjective judgements about "Classical idealism" with more scientific and semiologically compelling analyses of form and meaning.
The enterprise is not without problems, as Métraux is clearly aware. First, the textual evidence is slight and indirect for the Early Classical period -- the topic of this book. The bulk of written material is fourth century or later, and the views of the earlier Classical era must be reconstructed from fragmentary philosophical writings and later ideas presumed to maintain earlier traditions. Second, it is common knowledge that the makers of things, including sculptors and painters, were in Classical Greece not considered to be of the same intellectual level as the makers of ideas, including philosophers or even sophists.2 Consequently, there is some question as to whether a sculptor would even have been aware of the intricacies of medical theorizing. Métraux addresses both of these problems by pointing out how medical knowledge represents the intersection of philosophy with popular knowledge, given immediate relevance of the topic to each individual's personal experience. In popular knowledge, there is, Métraux argues, an especially strong element of tradition, thus it is highly likely that much in works of the fourth century preserves ideas from the fifth. Similarly, because of the popular interest in medical knowledge, it is reasonable to assume that sculptors like other citizens, were aware of its teachings, at least along general lines.
As a self-described "preliminary study" Métraux's book is narrowly focussed. It considers an extremely small number of sculptures placed within the short span of time 480-450 B.C. He isolates several common features as characteristic of Early Classical sculpture and seeks to explain their appearance in medical terms. From this modest objective there emerges a broad and inclusive explanation for the change from Archaic to Classical style -- an explanation which is based on the medical reading of stylistic features as signifying particular beliefs about the body and objectives of the artist. Since the stylistic change in question is the most obvious and significant such change in the history of Greek art and since Métraux's explanation varies considerably from the two traditional views (formalist and historicist), the implications of his study reach far beyond its narrow topic.
The specifics of Métraux's interpretation, presented in the third and fourth chapters and conveniently summarized on pp. 91-92, are as follows: Physicians and natural philosophers (and presumably sculptors) shared an interest in identifying 1) the manifestations of animating forces in the body, and 2) those features of the human body unique to the human species. Primary among the former were respiration and motion. Respiration was indicated in sculpture by various means, including the depiction of veins and a redesigned torso -- especially a peculiarly Early Classical form for the so-called iliac-inguinal line separating the abdominal area from the pubic region and hips. Motion was suggested by contrapposto. Uniquely human characteristics include the depiction of eyelashes and showing the eyes neither completely open nor closed. These features are among the defining traits of the Early Classical period, and their use in sculpture was motivated by a direct influence from contemporaneous medical/philosophical thinking. The Early Classical style evolved for the purpose of creating images which were both more animate and more "human" than those of the preceding Archaic era.
Conceptually this approach is very promising in that it offers a means to analyze sculptural images which is based in something other than subjective assessments of idealism and verisimilitude. However, Métraux's study falls short of its mark most conspicuously in its treatment of the sculpture itself. First, a very small number of sculptures are considered: the Omphalos Apollo type, the relief of a girl with doves from Paros in the Metropolitan Museum, and the Riace bronzes. Aside from the excessively small size of the sampling, only the relief -- which actually plays a very small role in the argument -- is assuredly an Early Classical work. The date and origin of the Riace pieces is much debated, and there is a very good chance that the Omphalos Apollo type reflects only very generally, if at all, any Early Classical bronze. In fact, Métraux provides a long discussion in an attempt to explain the anomalously small head of the Omphalos Apollo, when the most obvious explanation -- that the type is a classicizing creation -- is not even considered.
Even more problematic than the selection of material are some elements of interpretation. That the erect and shoulders-back stance of the standing male figures reflects a deliberate attempt to indicate breathing seems impossible to establish. Similarly, that the open peplos of the Parian girl indicates a girdle which has just fallen off as a result of breathing seems remote. At times a closed mouth is argued to be indicative of breathing (Parian girl) at other times an open mouth signifies the same (Riace Warriors). While Métraux can establish that the depiction of veins on the Riace bronzes corresponds to an arrangement described in ancient texts and that the ancients did connect blood vessels with respiration, it does not necessarily follow that the depiction of blood vessels is a sign of respiration. Throughout, Métraux presumes that since sculptors could have known of the medical teachings, then they must have had them firmly in mind when deciding what to include and what to omit in the representations they created. Indeed, it would seem that to a degree it was the sculptors' intention to make their images seem alive, within the limitations of stylistic convention. However, the devices developed by artists and the conclusions reached by physicians were similarly developed from empirical observation. It is a tricky proposition to separate the instances when the artistic process derives from the medical from the instances when the processes were parallel.
The book was not well proofread. There are numerous typographical errors and internal page references were not changed from pp.00 in several places. The plates, especially the images of the Omphalos Apollo and Riace Warriors, are not of good quality and frequently it is impossible to follow the author's argument through visual material. It is exciting to think that one could establish on a more concrete basis an iconography of anatomy as a part of a general concern with the semiology of style. However, the successful exploration of this possibility will require a more complete and competent treatment of the sculptures themselves than has been provided here.

- Rubber pods on the sole are durable.
- Colour Shown: Photo Blue/Metallic Silver/Black/White
- Style: AH9046-400
The Air VaporMax represents a new era in Nike innovation. "It's changed our whole philosophy on how we design for Air", says Cushioning Innovation Designer Zachary Elder. The designers started by restructuring the Air unit so they could attach it directly to the upper. "That was the biggest challenge", says Tom Minami, Senior Footwear Designer—but it was worth it. "Without any midsole or sockliner, you get to feel the Air in a whole new way". In previous Air Max models, the goal was to fill the sole with as much Air as possible, but in the VaporMax, the focus is on using the Air efficiently. "As you step down, each lug gets pushed into the Air unit, ramping up the pressure", Elder explains. "As you step off, the pressure releases, creating that springy bounce". After the seven-year journey from ideation to release, Elder and Minami are excited for what's to come. "I'm super proud of the product", Elder says. "This new approach is going to be a huge turning point for Air—and for Nike".

"Brando's Terry Malloy is a shatteringly poignant portrait of an amoral, confused, illiterate citizen of the lower depths who is goaded into decency by love, hate and murder. His groping for words, use of the vernacular, care of his beloved pigeons, pugilist's walk and gestures and his discoveries of love and the immensity of the crimes around him are highlights of a beautiful and moving portrayal."---A. H. Weiler's review of "On the Waterfront", in The New York Times, July 30, 1954
"He's the most keenly aware, the most empathetical human being alive... He just knows. If you have a scar, physical or mental, he goes right to it. He doesn't want to, but he doesn't avoid it... He cannot be cheated or fooled. If you left the room he could be you."---Stella Adler quoted in Richard Schickel's "Brando: A Life in Our Times" (1991)
"This was the first of the many ritual beatings characters played by Brando would absorb in his films, punishment for being an outsider and sensitive, a hip messiah in the pop mythology of the time."---Richard Schickel
"Brando always was a weirdo, long before anyone heard of him. Surely his 'eccentricity' deepened with the passing years, but the overall evidence is that he consciously chose to stress that side of his nature less, not more, in his Sixties work... He is less self-consciously witty, less self-satirizing, than he was in the fat Fifties movies... when his spirits were up and he carried with him the feistiness of successs. He is also much less sexy than before, much less volatile than he was in his previous on-screen encounters with women. Indeed, it is impossible to recall a single romantic scene that had either the rapacious menace of 'Streetcar' or the insinuating seductiveness of his scenes with Eva Marie Saint in 'On the Waterfront.'"---Richard Schickel, In discussing Brando's bland, tame professionalism in his work during the 1960s
"We may treasure, as he does not, the moments he gave us, at the same time speculating about the ones he didn't give us, out of spite or goofiness or whatever has moved him to not move us. Looking at him now, one can't help recalling the illimitable promise of his youth and perhaps of our own, and the inevitable confusions and compromises life imposes on us, the inevitable follies we impose on ourselves... Brando has kept faith with incoherence. Whatever he has done and not done, no actor in his life and his work has more consistently kept us in touch with the erratic, that which is unpredicatable and dangerous in ourselves and in the world."---Richard Schickel in "Brando: A Life in Our Times" (1991)
"Brando's a giant on every level. When he acts, it's as if he's landed on another planet. He's got it all. That's why he's endured. When I first saw 'On The Waterfront' I couldn't move. I couldn't leave the theatre. I'd never seen the like of it. I couldn't believe it."---Al Pacino, Brando's co-star from "The Godfather Empire August 2004
"He's simply the best, and if he wants to call acting merely a craft, then he's the greatest craftsman who ever lived."---Dennis Hopper Empire August 2004

Old Technology
Stop the presses. We now have Moses. Moses was born in the reeds. When translating the context and the passages around reeds it is conceivable that "water" and "reeds" were interchanged. Moses was a test tube baby. Obviously. Sodom and Gomorrah featured wires and push buttons, Tyre and Sidon included the neural net and advanced digital technologies. Why would the medical side have not moved along to test tube Moses? Born in the reeds. Alephel has a stick, Aleph has a slide reed to match.
The supernatent liquid for the test tube babies, then, obviously, because the kingdom of heaven is trying to make this work (one way or the other), will eventually come to be delicately sifted and manicured nuclear reactor boiled down old siphons, seahorses, sea-p-honies, eunuchs sewn to the green eggs and ham, twisted up into seehorses, and boiled down for decades. Moses was a test tube baby, the plumbing is as old as Ninevah, and according to most of the scripts, the sphinx and pyramids was up by the time the foliage hit halfway and have simply relocated and shuffled about as the mad race slashed and burned everything to the sand and into the mine to sack the diamond anvil, cut as much space junk as possible and stuff it into every crevice and crack everywhere, and hang the remainder moon in the sky. Every test tube baby is grown, layer by layer, to allow for as many realm of the dead inhabitants as possible even before they begin playing games snapping them out of their skins and into bug screening.
Elijah's use of multiply-refried castor bean mash extract as nerve agent, initially to produce and then cure a mute man and then as a method of applying David's key to the shoulder of the marked individual, over Elisha is symbolic of the conquering of the Persian empire by the Egypto-Hebrew temple working on pyramids of mummified pashcal lambs. The Persians were of a completely different system of cues in the sphinx compared with the Egypto-Hebrews; Persian maharajas test their skills with cobras and, on the pyramid side, only pharaoh and his friends are allowed that sort of privelege. Persian Maharajas are the pentultimate forty thieves with Ali Baba and nobody knows how to play that game better than they. The sphinx runs on scripts of forty thieves, certainly, but not at the level of skill that the Persians played it. How did the Maharajas do it?
The Maharajas had a skill known as a comeback. If, over the course of playing with their cobra, they endured too many bites, they would begin to exhibit signs along the path of David's key; either from brute force injury or from the purified castor bean extract, compare to Adam eunuch vs. Mary obelisk models. The injured maharaja would be subjected to the force feedback of the society, the same as all human society, to sink or swim. Successful maharajas made comebacks and, over the course of their practice, exercised their hand.
The Egypto-Hebrew temple heard of the Maharajas' skill and noticed the blazing similarity to the nerve agent and David's key. Hebrew assassins and doctors were dispatched to infiltrate the Persian empire, become friends with the Maharajas, treat them when they are down. "Allow me to check your temperature and pulse, are you feeling okay? Nevermind the thumb pasty of nerve agent extract. You're done." Do not allow strangers to hold your hand because it is a dangerous world. Egyptians could then play very effective games betting on whether or not a maharaja was going to make a comeback or on the way down. Divide and conquer. Give the Persian empire a star of India as an apology. The moon is the rock ice diamond remainder of anvil sacking for the world and hangs in the firmament of water catching nets in the sky.
Maharajas that were secretly hit with Elijah's thumb pasty of purified castor bean nerve agent would never achieve Alladin's lamp and make a comeback. Alladin's lamp is out of the play of the world, the forty maharajas now form a group managed by the seven sons of the Babylonian woman in the Egypto-Hebrew temple, signified by the covenant of circumcision "eye" shape which would result if anybody could ever figure out how to achieve Alladin's lamp after having David's key stamped on in castor bean extract.
Melchizedek wishes that he could sew the world into horses and poke them into soap because he never walked far enough to find a heart to show it.
So basically this is the way the world works. All the dogs have names. Maybe your dog is a pro wrestler, maybe a politician, maybe the name of a USS battleship, maybe your dog's name is for the little sandwich parlor down the street. Maybe your dog's name is a color. Whatever it happens to be, you will go to great lengths to protect your rights to your dog's name. Even if you feel like picking an argument with some jobbie, even if you are a rotating spindle of complete lies and nonsense, you have the "right" to say it, because you sexually service that dog, and nobody is going to go more apeshit over an argument than somebody that sucks that dog to have the right to say it. If the jobbie argues too much then all other millionaires in the vicinity (usually) back their own, and if it gets to be too much of a "who's right" competition then the phonie sucks that dog for a million and the life of the jobbie is more or less over until they reach the "end of sequence" scenes and recycle.
The rainbowtards work on a somewhat more abstracted level (and they have their own dogs to suck, and the dogs may have abstract names). During the pirate party the participants (ranibowtards and others) each, individually, receive one or more "power words", portions of syllables and sounds, sometimes sepated by a pattern (ie. "ee" count to five and then "op", now spend your life listening for combinations to fit). If a pirate party participant then, in life, listens to another person (implied, usually below them on the animal servant heirarchy ladder) using their particular "power word" or sound then they claim rights over that person. Which rights? Well, whatever they can get, really, and whatever they can make up. If there is any resistance then, again, all (usually) available millionaires chip in to support their own, jobbies go down, and various systems and methods exist to sort out relative master-servant heirarchies within the millionaire animal servant kingdoms.
Everybody goes to hell.
The primary methodology for the millionaires to actively negotiate a target (either a jobbie or one of their own) is to profile the target's speech and make note of their power words or power sounds. What do they talk about when they are happy? What do they talk about when they are sad? What sound do they make when they hit their head? What is their favorite "hello" greeting format? Pick twenty to forty of their power words and sounds and then find those particular dogs or sounds. Of the candidates associated with those dogs or sounds, choose the ones whose vocal ranges are higher than the target for that particular sound (availability, accessability, and contract negotiations apply). In the social interaction of daily communication those selected individuals will always be able to enforce themselves over the target when that particular sound or word is in use; if the target ever elevates or raises their voice in protest then the millionaire involved will attest that the contest is in the league of that word or sound and go blow the dog. One million dollars will now be available to orchestrate further events and purchase further antagonists to ride the target into ruin.

Aviva Premiership
Chiefs set for Sandy Park development decision
Graham Jenkins
October 28, 2012
Sandy Park is set to be transformed if planning permission for its development is given the green light © Exeter Chiefs
Exeter Chiefs are hopeful of getting the green light for the development of their Sandy Park home from planning chiefs this week.
The Premiership side submitted ambitious plans earlier this year that would see the stadium's capacity increase from 10,750 to 20,600 and the club's conference and banqueting facilities also expanded. Planning officials at Exeter City Council have recommended that the plans be approved at a meeting of the planning committee on Monday with chief executive and chairman Tony Rowe quietly confident of a positive decision.
"It has gone forward from the officers of Exeter City Council with a recommendation to approve so unless the councillors vehemently object, which I hope they won't, it will be all systems go," Rowe told ESPNscrum.
"We built Sandy Park with a view to getting into the Premiership," he added, "and we are not intending to go back to the Championship so we are looking at the future of our sport and where we want to go and Sandy Park when it is finished should be one of the best rugby stadiums in northern Europe."
The club, that have impressed in English rugby's top flight since earning promotion in 2010, were granted planning permission to expand the east stand in 2009 but work was never carried out with those plans now incorporated into the latest proposal.
If given the go ahead, the club intend to start work next year starting with the development of the existing West stand with work on three new permanent stands around the rest of the ground set to follow as funding allows.
The Chiefs recently announced another profit-making year and are one of just four Premiership sides alongside Northampton, Leicester and Gloucester to be in the black. The club's balance sheet is also set to benefit from the recent purchase of Leeds' 'P' shares guaranteeing them an extra £600,000 a season in funding from Premiership Rugby.
But despite that financial boost, Rowe has underlined the importance of the conferencing side of the business. "Sandy Park has four big function rooms and is basically a conferencing and banqueting venue for 340 odd days a year and the other 20-odd days a year we play rugby there," he explained. "They go hand in hand. The rugby business could not survive without the conference and banqueting business and vice versa. Each as a stand alone business is a non-starter."
While committed to the development of the club's home ground, Rowe is wary of ensuring coach Rob Baxter has the funds at his disposal to cement the Chiefs' place among the elite. "This year we are roundabout the salary cap of £4.5m but we need to develop the ground more so any more money that comes in will be ploughed into the playing budget with also one eye on improving the facilities. We're improving things all the time while trying to ensure Rob has enough money to put together a decent squad."
Exeter have not struggled to hold their own in the Premiership with a fifth place finish last season ensuring a first ever appearance in the Heineken Cup this term. And while the side tasted defeat to European giants Leinster and Clermont Auvergne in their opening fixtures, it could not detract from Rowe's delight being involved in Europe's premier club competition.
"I always knew we would get there but you still have to pinch yourself," said Rowe before reflecting on the speed of his side's ascent. "I can remember back 12 years or so ago when we were still at the old Country Ground. My Saturdays always used to start with breakfast with my deputy chief executive Keiron Northcott in the clubhouse. We would sit there planning the future and I would say, 'if we do this and do that we could be in the Premiership within so many years' and he would say, 'the Premiership is OK but I want to see us in Europe, in the Heineken Cup'.
"Needless to say we have been planning it a long time but when it actually arrives it is great. It is fantastic for the club, fantastic for the supporters and we have some brilliant supporters."
With the expansion of Sandy Park poised to get the go ahead, the next task will be to ensure that the club keeps pace in terms of on-field development with another top six finish in the Premiership the key to a return to the Heineken Cup. "It is a tough ask but the boys will do their best which is all they can do," said Row. "I'm sure if they do their best we can hang on in the top six and get another chance next year but it's going to be tough."

I heeded Bro. Bo Sanchez' call to start investing in Stocks barely 2 years ago. ALI (Ayala Land) had gone up from P16 to P27 per share, and FPH (1st Phil Holdings) from about P67 to a whopping P90 per share. You won't get that from a mere time deposit in a bank. Not to mention the dividends these 2 companies give out from time to time.
Today, I sold my JFC (Jollibee) shares for an P8/share profit, to be able to open 2 more accounts — this time for JJ & JM. It's time they start saving as well. Hope to do this for our remaining kids before the end of the 1st quarter of this year.

As the birds flock back from where-ever they've been, evenings begin to lengthen, the sun shows up and thoughts turn to things to do 'when the good weather comes in' - the Mid Ulster Mail has been busy swinging through trees in Moneymore's Jungle, so we could tell you what it's like.
And we are happy to report, that if you have a Saturday spare and a thirst for adventure, there are few more good, clean, fun ways that you could spend the day, as long as you (unlike our editor) don't mind heights. And he did better than I did!
But what's even better, is that - for this Saturday only - a number of outdoor adventure centres are offering adrenalin junkies the chance to try some outdoor activities as part of NI Adventureland Weekend.
So for a fraction of the usual price you could take on the Tarzan Treetops Challenge at the Jungle, try out the mountain biking trails in Davagh Forest, forage for and cook your own food near Cookstown or feel what it's like to fly on Todd's Leap zip line near Ballygawley.
With the £10 or 50 per cent off price tag on the activities this Saturday, there is no reason not to give something a go.
None of the events require any previous experience and some are even suitable for children (check first) as young as three so there is literally something for the whole family, couples or groups of friends to enjoy.
The Tarzan Treetops challenge took around two hours to finish, with a zip-line (I loved it) and a grand finale, that I won't ruin for you thrown in.
And, if you're not feeling all that adventurous, you could always just walk a llama - yes, they really do that.

It's been five years since the auto club AAA made its offices in northern California year-round drop-off sites for large batteries.
Since then, the company has collected more than 700,000 car, RV, boat, and tractor batteries. AAA's Cynthia Harris says Wednesday, is Earth Day, is as good a day as any to dispose of old batteries.
"Clean out those basements, garages, the back of your truck, get rid of those harmful batteries that you no longer need and send them to AAA," he says. "We will recycle them for free."
Harris says 98 percent of a battery can be recycled. AAA gives the batteries to recyclers to turn them into new batteries.
Since the program began in 2001, recyclers have re-used 8.4 million pounds of lead, 1.4 million pounds of plastic, and almost half-a-million gallons of sulfuric acid.
