OPI - My Address Is Hollywood
2 coats. Pink with a coral tone and a little bit of shimmer. The shimmer is not super visible though.
Tonight it's time! The Academy Awards! This fits well because of its name, but I want more sparkle. So I will be adding something on top of this. Pretty polish though.

text: This crib is what I imagine when I think about Jay Gatsby's mansion, which, for the record, is not that often (I'm not a fucking weirdo for shit's sake.). But is this it? Is this real estate porn at it's finest for Americans? Can't be. I know this estate is impressive, but it doesn't look $190 million worth of impressive; I don't care what fucking city it is in. Maybe I'm the minority here. Maybe, much like my real porn habits, I prefer my real estate porn to be a little more "exotic" looking. And by that I mean Asian.

Keeping up with new startups is almost impossible. While we sleep tonight, there are thousands of caffeine-infused individuals hammering away on keyboards creating the next great thing. With a polished slide deck, a few thousand loyal alpha users, and a code repository secret sauce, anyone can take his or her idea from stealth mode to global success overnight. And while some of the companies mentioned in this article will go on to success, others will fall by the wayside, burning through cash and users similar to a summer camp bonfire. The interesting threads to follow through these few successes and myriad failures are the trends that add value to the end user. And the current crop of products and services being launched offers a great list of features to keep our eyes on.

If you search for "intranet" at Amazon you will find around 80 titles, but most of these were either published in the latter half of the 1990s and/or are exclusively concerned with intranet technology. There are also a few more recent titles, but nothing in my view that competes with the now out-of-print book Intranets—What's the bottom line by Randy J. Hinrichs.
I am often asked, especially by delegates at conferences, if I can recommend a book specifically on intranets, and I have to say that at present I am not able to. There is not a single book on the shelf in my office as I write this column with "intranet" in the title. However, there is a small group of books that I refer to constantly during consulting projects, or when preparing conference papers.
Enterprise Information AnalysisSenior managers in companies of all sizes and categories still have little appreciation of how important the effective management of information is to the survival. The best two books on the subject are by staff members at the IMD business school in Lausanne, Switzerland. They are the outcomes of a 28-month long research project carried out by the team under the direction of Donald Marchand, Professor of Information Management and Strategy. The project was supported by Anderson Consulting/Accenture and involved over 1,200 senior managers in 103 companies in 26 industry sectors and 37 countries. The project attempted to see if there was a connection between the way in which these companies managed information and the business success of these companies.
The scale of the project undertaken by IMD, and the rigorous nature of the research process, has enabled the team to come up with a metric that they have called "Information Orientation," which is a combination of IT practices, information management practices, and information behaviours and values. The team has been able to correlate above-average scores in these three areas and, therefore, the overall Information Orientation metric, with business success.
The first book to be published was Competing with Information (John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2000, ISBN 471-89969-0). This book was based around a consideration of Don Marchand's Strategic Information Alignment model, contains some qualitative benchmarks against which companies could assess their information management competencies, and is very readable. The second book, Making the Invisible Visible (John Wiley & Sons Ltd., ISBN 0-471-496-09X ) was written towards the end of the project. Both these books provide a basis for translating business objectives into information objectives, and thus intranet objectives. The checklists and benchmarks are invaluable aids in getting a company to work through its information environment.
In my view, an essential step in developing an intranet strategy is to undertake an information audit, concentrating on information flows just as much as information assets. Excellent guidance into how to undertake such an audit is given by Elizabeth Orna in her book Practical Information Policies (Gower Publishing Ltd. 1999, ISBN 0-566-07693-4). The book also includes 14 case studies of how organizations have developed information policies, and although not directly intranet case studies, there is much to learn from these studies on how people use information for decision-making.

(AP) An Australian woman accused of setting her husband's genitals on fire because she thought he was having an affair has been charged with murder.
Prosecutors said 44-year-old Rajini Narayan confessed to neighbors that she set her husband on fire on Dec. 8, 2008, after she saw him hug another woman.
She was initially charged with endangering life and arson but the charges were upgraded to murder after her 47-year-old husband, Satish Narayan, died from his injuries last week.
Prosecutor Lucy Boord said Narayan told neighbors she was a "jealous wife" but she hadn't meant to kill him when she doused the sleeping man's genitals with an alcohol-based solvent and then set him on fire.
Boord quoted Narayan allegedly saying: "I just wanted to burn his penis so it belongs to me and no one else. ... I didn't mean this to happen."
The husband jumped out of bed and knocked over the bottle of alcohol, causing the fire to spread and resulting in 1 million Australian dollars ($711,000) of damage to their town house and an adjacent property, the Adelaide Advertiser reported.
"She poses a substantial risk to others given her flagrant offending," Boord told the newspaper.
"Witnesses also heard the accused make references to using a police officer's gun on herself, and references to whether she should be alive at all," she added.
Narayan was remanded in custody for psychological assessment and will reappear in court Friday. She has been charged with murder, arson and three counts of endangering life, as the couple's three children were at home during the incident.

KHARKIV – Former Ukrainian Premier Yulia Tymoshenko's defense lawyer Serhiy Vlasenko has said that the recent recommendation of the ex-premier's German doctors and the international medical commission for her treatment on the necessity to provide her with an eight-week period of rest has been neglected.
"The current authorities have been neglecting them [the recommendations] for two weeks. We did not know to the last whether she would be summoned to court, and yesterday they again forbade her to meet with her defense lawyer," Vlasenko told journalists in Kharkiv on Tuesday, Aug.14.
Vlasenko stressed that the doctors did not recommend the ex-premier to limit number of meetings, as they just recommended her to have an eight-week period of rest.
He added that as soon as Tymoshenko gets better, she will attend hearings of the criminal case on the activities of the United Energy Systems of Ukraine (UESU) Corporation.
As reported, in July 30 doctors from the Charite Clinic in Berlin came to Central Clinical Hospital No. 5 in Kharkiv, where Tymoshenko is undergoing treatment.
On the same day, they asked to give Tymoshenko an eight-week period of rest.

2010 REPORT FROM USA State Department
"There was a sharp increase in charges brought against opposition politicians after the appointment of a new prosecutor general on November 4, giving rise to the appearance of selective and politically motivated prosecutions by the Yanukovych government. Between November 1 and December 31, prosecutors brought charges against former prime minister Yulyia Tymoshenko and more than eight high-level members of her government for abuse of office and/or misuse of state funds during their tenure. The questioning of accused individuals by government prosecutors, which often lasted for hours at a time over a period of several days, and the denial of bail in certain cases further exacerbated the perception of politically motivated prosecution (see section 4). The government contended that the prosecutions were not targeting the opposition, and that there were many ongoing investigations of members of the governing party; however, with only a few exceptions these were low-level, career officials."
You don't live here, my Canadian friend, and you rarely visit. Ergo, your opinion matters naught. However, here's some food for thought. For the first time ever, powerful people are being prosecuted for their misdeeds. Think 'precedent'. I know, it's a difficult thought process. And by the by, did you ever do anything to help your poor 'relatives' in far west Ukraine? Didn't think so.

The winning bid came from an anonymous buyer participating by telephone in Friday's auction at Christie's, the New York Post reported.
Christie's started the bidding at $500,000. Before the auction, there was speculation the price could rise as high as $2 million, the Post said.
Washington wrote the letter to Gen. John Armstrong April 25, 1788. Armstrong, who fought with Washington in the American Revolution, was a Pennsylvania delegate to the Continental Congress.
Chris Coover, the auction house's senior specialist on rare books and manuscripts, told the Post Washington was "heavily invested in the success of the new American Republic." Armstrong was also a supporter of the Constitution.
"It is one of the finest Washington letters we've ever handled," Coover said.

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee promised fans she'd get a resolution passed in Congress honoring Michael Jackson -- but Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi just 86'd the proposal.
In a news conference moments ago on Capitol Hill, Pelosi said that while Jackson was "a great performer," a resolution "will open up two contrary views that are not necessary at this time to be expressed."
Somewhere Rep. Pete King is doing a righteous fist pump.
Best news I have heard all day.
There are only so many hours in a day, and Sheila Jackson Lee needs to learn to devote 100% of her working hours to finding ways to create more jobs.....and NO hours trying to impress her constituency by offering this resolution.
Are any of you in her district ? If so, e-mail her and tell her to focus on jobs.
Come on, MJ was Good , He was Honered and Will be by his fans.
But a resolution is way over the Top...
Neither Elvis or James Brown got one......
Get Real........
They should wait till they open Neverland up and once the state of california starts getting a cut from the money it will make and it's debt gets reduced some, then things may be different..
Being from houston I can assure you that Sheila Jackson Lee is a self serving nut. Thank goodness Pelosi made a right decision in turning down this obnoxious request.. Now stand by for the black caucus to come forward with some racist nonsence...It's the way ot woks these days.
42. First time EVER..I agree with Nancy.
Think about it folks. Did Elvis get a resolution? He was a "king", too! There are just too many doubts, too many flaws, too many questions. I loved Michael Jackson from the Jackson Five through the late 80's, early 90's. But that Michael died 15 years or so ago and I mourned him then. I don't know who THIS Michael Jackson was.
Posted at 12:08PM on Jul 9th 2009 by DSC
Yes, Elvis was a King too, but where are all of the charities that he dontated to???? MJ is in the Guiness Book of World Records for being the most charitable entertainer EVER!!!! Where are the songs that Elvis wrote and sang to help fight famine??? Even in death, MJ left money to charity, did Elvis do that??? So please dont compare Elvis to MJ. Elvis was great but MJ was a HUMANITARIAN AND A PHILANTHROPIST, i have NEVER heard or read that about Elvis!!!
Good for her. The Government should be concentrating on more important issues. The fact that it was even considered is absurd.
Oh just f--k off already. What do you people want next, for the Pope to appoint him a SAINT? He was a DRUG addict, and a child RAPIST. Get your head out of your azz people. He sang and danced, he was an entertainer, but most of all he was a no good PEDOPHILE , DRUG ADDICT. What are you all going to say when the toxicology results are released. If he truly cared about those kids, he would not have been playing russian roulette with these heavy duty drugs!!!
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition! Hellelujah!
If Congress were to honor this freak, then I would know there is no hope for this Government.
It SHOULD be entered in!! Michael did so many wonderful things in his lifetime he should have been honored along time ago for all he did!!! Michael was NOT just a performer he was an American icon,a legend,and a world humanitarian and he should be remembered as such!! He did NOT touch no kid so everyone needs to lay off the crap! Those kids admitted they lied they just wanted money so go back and look up your facts before you say something!! I don't care if i have to go to dc myself i will do whatever to help make this pass because it should its the right thing!

I like drinking coffee alone, and reading alone.
I like riding the car alone, and walking home alone.
I like eating alone, and listening to music alone.
It gives me time to think, to set my mind free.
But when I see a mother with her child,
a girl with her lover,
a friend laughing with her best friend,
or at least a child walking her dog,
I realize that even though I like being alone,
I don't want to be lonely.
The sky is beautiful, but the people are sad.
I just need someone who won't run away.

It's all about the small, extraordinary things in our life! The blog title is based on my book title, based on my experience as coffee shop owner in The NL. My blog is all about our new, extraordinary life here on top of our rock in Maple Ridge. Mixed with some jibber jabber about current issues which drive me nuts! Happy reading!
tags: daily life, European vs Canadian life, new challenges, outdoors, shopping
Born with itchy, German feet, I left my home country at the age of 22. Now, 26 years later I live in Canada, my 7th country and 4th continent. This makes me an expert-expat of some sort?
My decisions to move have nothing to do with the Armed Forced, working for big corporations or having inherited a good size trust fund- my business ventures weren't online based either. We do it for the sake of adventure - to show our three children that it's possible to live a dream - whatever the dream might be!
They know the grass isn't greener on the other side - they also know today that it's quite easy to make new friends, all it takes is some effort and the will to do it!

1 replyExcellent post. I've already seen Baccano, but your writeup about damn near inspired me to go watch it again.
Right now it's XCOM, but there are a handful of games I'll be playing in the next couple weeks that I expect will be serious contenders, so I'll withhold final judgment.
Recommended (2)Considering you usually need extra equipment and software to stream console games, having that ability built directly into the system and easily accessible seems like more than just a novelty, and hardly a 'questionable feature.'
1 reply Recommended (2)I don't consider it to be just fanservice, and I don't feel an infographic is necessary to explain that.
It's crunch time for me with school right now, so I don't have time for anything too story driven. I just watched a bit of Minami-ke here and there.
Jesus. TWD, Wolf Among Us, Borderlands, and now Game of Thrones? I hope TellTale's not biting off more than they can chew, for their sake.
These designs remind me of Maken-Ki. Especially the girl on the left.
Great! Glad you enjoyed it.
1 replyI'm in the camp that doesn't really see Gal Godot as a good choice for Wondy. It has nothing to do with her acting ability, I just really don't think she has the build or figure for the role.
1 replyFinished the first half of Vandread. It has a strong start but towards the middle it starts to get boring. It picks up significantly towards the end and going into Second Stage, though. If Second Stage can maintain this momentum, it should turn out to be a great show overall.
To be fair, it was one of the best punches I've seen in the medium.
1 reply Recommended (1)But Cobalt likes Kokonoe, and she ain't exactly packing.
1 replyI know what you mean. But the way I see it, if you're gonna dabble in that genre, you might as well stick with the best.
1 replySame, though I haven't seen Nyaruko. I liked Hayate, but I don't think it's a show that's enjoyable enough to merit watching the 100 or so episodes they've made of it.
So far I've liked Binbougami a lot for parody humor.
1 replyAs long as it ends. I tend to consider the ride more important than the destination with these things.
1 replyYeah, I've only read the first several chapters, so I guess I'll see how it goes. It usually takes a few dozen chapters before I know whether I'm in it for the long haul or not.
1 replyI chose it because it actually ended, which is something I can respect in a shounen series.
3 repliesSo on a whim I decided to start reading Medaka Box. My tolerance for shounen has historically been hit or miss, but so far I like it. What's most surprising is that so far I actually really like Medaka herself and find her to be the most interesting character. It's uncommon for this to be the case with shounen, where the supporting cast is typically much more compelling than the main character (Naruto, Ichigo, Natsu, etc.). This was compounded by the fact that on paper she just sounds like a boring character; Sexy, big chest, amazing at [almost] everything she does. But the fact that the author plays this completely straight (almost every other character sees her the same way you might after reading a brief description of her) while finding ways here and there to peel away at that perception makes it fun to read. I won't go so far as to call it a deconstruction of the 'perfect girl' character archetype, but so far it seems to be intelligently handled.
I assume he's talking about Arise.
Recommended (1)It's just entertaining.
1 replyI actually agree with your stance in the argument, I just think the examples you used are very poor.
1 replyThose are all games that are 'about to come out'?
Not a single thing sticks out to me. I guess Nisekoi could be alright.
There's a bunch of games on my wishlist, but Company of Heroes 2 and Scribblenauts Unmasked are the only games I'm actively interested in on Steam for the time being.
That's unfortunate.
1 reply Recommended (1)Sweet angst, though.
The show. I'm not a fan of the movie.
1 reply Recommended (2)So it's Nanoha?
2 replies Recommended (2)I need more top quality
If you want a couple more suggestions, try Baccano, GitS, and Kids on the Slope.

South Carolina
Public education was guaranteed under the 1868 Reconstruction-era constitution, which created the office of superintendent of public instruction (later called the state superintendent of education). The State Board of Education today certifies teachers, sets standards, and establishes courses of study for the public schools, which are grouped into some 100 local districts. Educational attainments have improved at all levels, but South Carolina has continued to struggle with low graduation rates. To improve the situation, the General Assembly has established minimum standards of educational achievement and has equalized funding for education across school districts. The Education Improvement Act, passed in 1984, increased state funding for education to improve instruction and to raise student performance. In 1999 South Carolina inaugurated the First Steps program to better prepare children for entering the first grade. The largest institution of higher education in the state is the University of South Carolina at Columbia, chartered as South Carolina College in 1801 and opened in 1805. Clemson University, a land-grant institution established in 1889, has a major research and teaching focus on agriculture. Winthrop University (1886), located at Rock Hill and long known as South Carolina College for Women, is now coeducational. The Citadel ... (200 of 6,793 words)Education

Resource Type
Eleventh graders examine the way emerging medical technologies contribute to desirable and undesirable outcomes. They read and discuss news articles and editorials, and conduct Internet research. Students contribute to a Web Log, and participate in class discussions.
Eleventh graders use medical technologies and protocols to debate certain innovations. For this technology lesson students research biotechnology and publish their findings.
Students explore medical terminology used in diagnosis. They explore the dexterity needed by a doctor to perform surgery. Students explore diagnostic methods used today in the medical field, X-rays, Ultrasound, MRI, CT-PET Scans, and endoscopy.
Learners design bionic organs or limbs. In this medical technology lesson, students view a video about artificial organs and prosthetic limbs. They research the medical technology behind these advances and work to design a organ or limb replacement of their own.
Students are introduced to the design process used in engineering. They compare and contrast this process with the steps followed in the scientific method. Students then participate in a brainstorming session that asks them to design a process that moves everyone from the class to the playground without touching the ground.
Eighth graders research changes in medical technology and practice that took place in North Carolina between the years of 1870 and 1930. They also examine the difference between the "Humeral Theory" of disease and the "Germ Theory" of disease and how it may have influenced the way doctors practiced medicine. From their research they present how those changes impacted the lives of people at that time.
Create questions and answers for medical situations with your class. Use the document to role play or for independent practice.
Students test problem-solving skills, the ability to see connections, and the ability to draw conclusions and inferences from information provided in a case study. Given a case study, they formulate a procedure and draw conclusions.
Students explore a case study. They use problem solving skills to determine initial procedures or experiments necessary slow disease and develop a drug. Students examine FDA drug approval procedures. They consider environmental and ethical issues in making a decision to market the drug.
Students complete a variety of activities as they examine the ethical issues behind stem cell research and cloning. They make their own ethical decisions on both subjects.
Experienced chemistry technicians use then layer chromatography to discover how much of a free compound is left after each rinse cycle. Where this could obviously be used as a practice with chromatography technique, it can also be used in a technology course when examining drug development and medical technology. The lesson plan and lab sheet are thoroughly written and even includes drawings of sample chromatography results.
Students investigate how maps can provide useful information about health issues. They study a map to draw conclusions about cholera death in London.
Students examine the discipline of biomedical engineering or bioengineering. They complete worksheets by participating in reading background information and completing a hands on activity. They design a prototype of a cast to set a broken bone.
Students explore the world of neonatal nursing. They research all the qualifications to becoming a neonatal nurse. Students unveil what neonatal nursings affect on the environment is.
Students participate in activities simulating various disabilities. After discussions, they work in teams to devise or improve on adaptive devices for people with disabilities. They include drawings of the tools they design and explain how they work.
Students combine a jigsaw learning technique with an inside/outside review game to learn about genes and the Human Genome Project. Students will describe DNA, genes and chromosomes.
Seventh graders become familiar with biomedical engineering. In this prosthetic device instructional activity, 7th graders consider the needs of a prosthetic device to help a specific person's characteristics. Students build a prosthetic device.
The first two pages of this resource may not be useful as they contain a narrative as to how someone can improve their grade on an organic chemistry exam. The final page, however, contains four sample MCAT exam questions. You could use this page as a pop quiz for your emerging organic chemists, or simply distribute it as practice for the MCAT. Problems address isomer structure, carbocation, reactivity, and more.
Discover seven of the most historic aircraft and spacecraft in the collections of the National Air and Space Museum. By research into the major milestones of aviation history your students will recognize features that enable flight, identify major technological advances in aviation and spaceflight, and describe how advances have affected the lives of people.
Students identify the parts of a male and female reproductive system and what the jobs of those parts are. For this reproduction lesson students describe some reproductive technologies.

Phebe Davidson, What the Archangel Gains from His Employ
Phebe Davidson
He is much moved
by impermanence, by the sheer
ephemerality of what he sees. There is,
in his continuance, a want he can't define. Yet here,
on this small inelegant world where nothing
stands still, where whole lifetimes come and go in
the merest instant, where things in all their
infinite variation wallow and burgeon and multiply
endlessly, where his hand is in the fall of
every sparrow, where his hand is in the end of
every creature that draws breath,
he feels complete.
12 Responses
lovely. And proof that lots of syllables can work in a poem: ephemerality!
Hi Karen–I'm late getting to this (house moving/sick cat/etc) but I am actually thrilled that you like ephemerality as much as I do.
just lovely. every words has found its rightful place.
"There is,
in his continuance, a want he can't define."in this, we are much alike. touching poem
Hi Alison—I'm way behind the times this month (next month should be better), but I want you know how much I appreciate your response—Azrael is a touching character, I think, in ways that continue to surprpise me.
Thanks for reading!
Hi Maren–Glad you like these!!! Now . . . if I could just find a publisher who has that response to the whole manuscript—
I love the rhythm of this poem, rising and falling with the images and insights. Like a gentle ride with just a hint of danger.
A very human emotion. I suspect most everyone identifies with this feeling in regards to their own "world." Although we are part of the ephemeral, our lives at times seem so much more enduring that a great deal of what we see around us, and in the daily maintenance of our world, we frequently make decisions that bring things to an end. Only the unfeeling would not be moved by impermanence. What a wonderful poem. I feel like Azrael could be a good drinking buddy right up to the moment I was in his way or it was just my time.
I think you've got his number!
wonderful first line….and also love the sparrow line (i have a thing about birds in poems).
an excellent flow to this one. fun to read aloud
I too have a thing for birds in poems—there are a whole slew of them in the full manuscript–which (one can only hope) will at some point see publication.
A wonderful poem! Lovely flow of language, especially the opening lines. There's so much in your poem that is great food-for-thought – I keep coming back to it, pondering. I don't know much about Azrael, but I love the image of the Angel of Death being moved by our impermanence and ephemerality, and of having undefined wants (thus making him more human). There is almost a poignant envy to him, as you have portrayed him – and yet, his completeness lies in his hands as he holds the "end of every creature." Wonderful!

The Market to Clear the Air
The growing trade in carbon emissions offers hope as a pollution solution
It's not enough money-yet-to stop polar ice caps from melting, but the pot has been sweet enough to lure Wall Street bankers into the fight against global warming. Nearly $23 billion will change hands this year on a new market that the European Union has created in a bid to save the planet through free enterprise. That's more than double the value in 2005, the inaugural year of the Emissions Trading Scheme.
The market, based on a U.S. system that has curbed acid rain pollution, creates a financial incentive for cutting carbon. The 37 participating developed nations set limits on carbon emissions and hand out allowances to industry. Companies that cut their use of oil, coal, and natural gas can sell their spare allowances to firms hard pressed to reduce emissions. When former World Bank chief economist Nicholas Stern told the British government this fall that climate change was "the greatest market failure the world has seen," he pointed to the European system as "leading the way" toward a possible solution. But Stern and others would like to bring under the tent the world's No. 1 source of the harmful emissions, the United States.
Early on, the Bush administration rejected the Kyoto Accord, the international treaty to limit carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse gases" that trap solar heat and raise Earth's temperature, increasing the chance of floods, hurricanes, and drought. But many European market players believe the Democrats' victory in the midterm elections will create momentum for U.S. involvement, perhaps before the first phase of treaty commitments expires in 2012, says Mark Woodall, chief executive of Climate Change Capital in London, the largest carbon investment bank.
A deal? Republican Sen. John McCain thinks President Bush's view has shifted and that he'd sign a measure like the bipartisan carbon cap-and-trade bill McCain has crafted with Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman. But many Democrats don't like that bill's pro-nuclear energy provisions. A long slog is certain, since the Democrats have to garner substantial GOP support in the closely divided Senate.
While Washington debates, activist governors of both parties may forge the first U.S. ties to international carbon trading. Seven northeastern states have agreed to put into place a cap-and-trade program to limit power plant emissions beginning in 2009. And California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced in October a market approach to implementing the state's new carbon law; he has signed an agreement with British Prime Minister Tony Blair to work toward connecting with the European system.
If so, they'd be joining in on a volatile market that has drawn an array of brokers, bankers, and arbitrageurs who make money on the gap between the costs of greenhouse-gas reduction projects and the current price of carbon allowances. That price rose steadily early in the year to nearly $40 per ton of carbon, then tumbled hard in the spring to less than $12 when it was revealed that several European governments had been too generous with their industries when handing out allowances.
The market recovered somewhat in summer but slumped again this fall along with energy prices. The price has been lolling around $12 a ton in recent weeks, way below the $85 a ton that economist Stern believes is the real cost to society of pollution from carbon.

Toronto Star reporter Daniel Dale will sue Mayor Rob Ford for libel related to an interview he gave with former media baron Conrad Black on Vision Televison, in which the mayor insinuated that Dale was a pedophile.
Toronto Star city hall reporter Daniel Dale says that "literally every single thing" that Mayor Rob Ford told former media baron Conrad Black in a Zoomer TV interview about a 2012 encounter they had "is false in some way." The Ford interview, in which the mayor insinuated Dale was a pedophile, prompted a backlash againt Black, and several journalists voiced their support for Dale. J-Source rounded-up the details.
In this Q&A with J-Source, Steve Doig, the Knight Chair in Journalism at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University, explains why practising "safe data hygiene" is important for journalists, and how practising it will help protect them and their sources from government surveillance.
The lawyer for the journalist John Furlong is suing for defamation said he has reserved dates for a British Columbia Supreme Court trial in early 2015 and is waiting for Furlong to agree. Bryan Baynham told The Tyee on Nov. 13 that Furlong's lawyer, John Hunter, has not yet asked for court dates or scheduled examination for discovery in the lawsuit, which was filed almost a year ago.
In this analysis of two public apologies made by Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, J-Source Law Editor Thomas Rose suggests apology law may be trivializing the value of an apology in public discourse.
Laura Robinson will ask a judge to quash former Vancouver 2010 Olympics CEO John Furlong's defamation lawsuit against her, according to a statement issued Oct. 30 by her lawyer.
John Furlong, the former Vancouver Olympics CEO, says he is no longer suing the Georgia Straight newspaper but will "escalate" legal actions against the writer of the article, Laura Robinson. Robinson's lawyer told The Tyee the journalist looks forward to defending her story against Furlong's defamation claims.
Publication ban is an area of the law that most journalists will have to deal with at some time in their careers. Unlike other areas of law, the approach by the courts, as well as the law itself, is not only broad in its reach, but is fairly well defined. What follows is a basic primer on journalists and publication bans and, as law editor Thomas Rose writes, the rest is up to you.
York University says it has given a notice for libel earlier this week to the Toronto magazine and Katherine Laidlaw, the writer of the article alleging that its campus has become a "hunting ground for sexual predators."
There is no universal approach to the issue of trespass, which means journalists need to familiarize themselves with the applicable federal, provincial and territorial statutes, and even municipal bylaws on occasion. As law editor Thomas Rose explains, journalists would also be wise to brush up on the idea of digital trespass.

Mideast tourism sector braces for fallout from revolts
Tourism professionals in the Middle East are bracing for fallout from the revolts shaking the region, with cancellations affecting even countries so far spared from the upheavals, notably Jordan and Syria.
"Tourists are being influenced by the media coverage and are putting the whole Middle East in one bag, not differentiating between one country and another," Touhama Naboulsi, an official with Jordan's Tourism Board, told AFP.
"Some tourists have cancelled trips to all Arab countries and of course this includes Jordan," he added.
Several sources in the hotel sector said cancellations have reached a worrying 50 percent, while one tour operator said that for every 3,000 tourists originally booked to travel to Jordan in the coming months 1,200 are cancelling.
Tourism revenue in Jordan was estimated at one billion dollars in 2010, representing 14 percent of the gross domestic product.
The country's biggest tourist attraction is the ancient city of Petra, and visitors to Jordan often opt for a package tour that also includes Egypt, itself hit by a sharp drop in tourism following the uprising in February that toppled long-time president Hosni Mubarak.
The popular revolt in Egypt followed a similar uprising in Tunisia that led to the downfall of strongman Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. Libya, meanwhile, lying between the two, is in the throes of a rebellion while Yemen, Bahrain and Oman on the Gulf have also experienced unrest.
In France, an official with one of the country's top tourism operators, Voyageurs du Monde, described Jordan as a "catastrophe" with cancellations nearing 50 percent.
"People are in fact more worried about what may happen in other countries than those that have already had a revolution," said company chairman Jean-Francois Rial. "They're wondering whether Jordan's King Abdullah is going to be toppled, whether the king of Morocco might have trouble and the same even for China's leader."
Syria is also nervously watching developments and has lowered its forecast in terms of the number of visitors.
"We don't expect more than an 11 to 12 percent increase in the number of tourists because of the situation," Tourism Minister Saadallah Agha al-Qalaa recently said, adding that annual growth since 2000 had stood at 15 percent.
Ghassan Chahine, owner of Naya Tours in Damascus, said his agency had received 35 to 40 percent cancellations for the peak season that runs from March through May and concerns mainly European tourists.
"People tend to think that the revolts taking place extend to the entire region even though we are telling them that nothing is happening in Syria," Chahine told AFP.
"Not so long ago, we were begging hotels that were fully booked to find us rooms and now they are calling us looking for customers," Chahine said, adding that the downturn will translate into hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses.
But despite all the gloom and doom, tourism professionalism point to the industry's capacity to quickly rebound.
"People's perceptions change very quickly," said Sean Tipton, of the Association of British Tour Operators.
He said Egypt is by far the biggest market in the region for British tourists with one million visiting the country every year.
"As soon as we saw the scenes (of unrest) in Cairo and other cities it had a very direct impact," Tipton said.
"My experience in the travel industry is that the British tourists tend to be fairly resilient and have fairly short memories," he added. "So it doesn't take long for a country to bounce back in the reservations."

Advantages of Optimal Longcut Route for Wireless Mobile Users
Download now Free registration required
Executive Summary
In the future mobile network era and even now, the authors are faced with more diverse user and social needs for the network. These needs are changing the priorities of necessities on network and also making more practical evaluations indispensable. In general, people take a "Shortcut" route when they move from one location to another. However, this will not necessarily be true for future mobile users. A "Longcut" route might be highly preferable, depending on their applications that require long-lasting network connectivity or high data rate. Here, the longcut route is the optimal route for maximizing user's satisfaction, e.g., by considering tradeoffs between the gain in transmission performance and degradation in trip time.

A gradual warm up will occur as the air mass begins to moderate its temperatures due to some shortwave troughs that move across the area...bringing additional snowfall to Southwest Montana. Winds may increase with the advancing shortwave...and could bring wind chill values back into advisory or warning criteria due to the dangerously cold temperatures present Friday Night and Early Saturday Morning.

Suk Sunday Night through Friday...Medium range models remain in good agreement and are consistent with the trend of warming temperatures next week. Upper level trough currently over the region moves eastward Sunday night and Monday. This puts Montana in an unsettled northwest flow aloft through the end of the period. Model solutions diverge later in the week as shortwave energy timing and location varies between the two models, but the large scale pattern is consistent. Overall pattern continues to look favorable for an increasing temperature trend through Thursday. The unsettled flow and occasional shortwave energy remains favorable for slight chance to low chance pops across the forecast area but there still does not appear to be any likelihood for a large scale storm system through Thursday. However, by Friday models suggest that a backdoor cold front will push back into North Central Montana with an increasing chance of light snow across the forecast area with temperatures dropping once again. mpj && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Symposium on Amalgamation and Financial Sustainability in Local Government: Part 1
Dollery, Brian, Grant, Bligh, Public Finance and Management
Local government amalgamation, frequently also referred to as council consolidation and municipal mergers, whereby small local authorities are subsumed into larger entities, has often been used as a means of improving the operation of municipalities and enhancing their financial viability. However, empirical evidence on the impact of mergers is mixed. This Symposium focuses on the effects of amalgamation on the financial sustainability of local government.
Local government across the developed world has witnessed a period of demanding reform over the past few decades. Although the nature and pace of reform has been patchy, both within specific local government jurisdictions in a particular country, as well as between local government systems in different nations, comparatively few municipal systems have escaped unscathed. In Municipal Reform in Canada, Garcea and LeSage (2005) developed a useful analytical taxonomy comprising five discrete categories of local government reform: structural reform, jurisdictional reform, functional reform, financial reform, and internal governance and management reform. This typology can be applied to local government reform programs in any national, provincial or state jurisdiction, regardless of its nature, structure or functions.
Garcea and LeSage (2005, p. 5) defined structural reform as the reconfigu- ration of local government in terms of the 'number, types, and size of munici- palities, quasi-municipalities, and municipal special-purpose bodies'. An im- plicit assumption underlying structural reform hinges on the proposition that changes to the structure of local government affect the operational efficiency of municipal governance and thereby its financial viability. Put differently, it is held that it is theoretically possible to identify an optimum size for local government. Structural reform programs should thus aim at modifying the number and size of local authorities to approximate this optimum size, con- ventionally delineated in terms of population size, despite widely acknowl- edged disadvantages of this proxy measure (see, for example, Holcombe and Williams, 2009).
The claim that at least in principle it is possible to identify an optimal size for local government entities is controversial in both theoretical and empirical terms (see, for instance, Boyne 1998; Oakerson 1999; Bish 2000; Dollery, Kortt and Grant, 2012). Moreover, it has given rise to a longstanding and on- going debate between proponents of structural reform, who call for the crea- tion of larger local authorities through amalgamation, and their opponents, who dispute any systematic relationship between population size and local government performance. In essence, advocates of structural reform through consolidation implicitly hold that 'bigger is better' in local government or one or more of its more specific sub-claims: 'bigger is cheaper', 'bigger means improved services', 'bigger is more efficient', and more recently 'bigger is more financially viable'.
These inherent assumptions have formed the foundation for structural re- form programs of local government across the developed world, the over- whelming majority of which variously promise that larger local governmental structures will induce cost savings, enhance productivity, improve the quanti- ty, quality and mix of local services, boost administrative and technical ca- pacity and strategic management, facilitate more effective lobbying with high- er tiers of government, and increase financial sustainability (Dollery and Robotti, 2008). The empirical exploration of the latter claim on fiscal viability forms the basis for this Symposium.
Despite the ubiquity of structural reform through voluntary or forced mer- gers, and the frequently extravagant claims regarding its efficacy in improving financial sustainability in local government, the empirical literature is far from …

But how many people actually stopped using the application? A report in the New York Post dubiously claimed that Instagram has lost one-quarter of its users, but the math used in the story is a little fuzzy.

Years of spending, inflating, taxing, and redistributing has left the US economy teetering on a recession that our best and brightest — meaning the ones who created this mess — claim requires a multibillion-dollar economic-relief package to quell fears, promote confidence, and spur recovery.
And, one might add, to keep things calm past election time, which is the real purpose of this bipartisan proposal.
It leaves you wondering about what happened to the 1990s boom, a credit-fueled expansion also influenced by a peace dividend. The end of the Cold War produced a floundering federal government that lost its rationalization to grow and found itself unsure of its purpose, thus promoting an era of relative peace and prosperity.
Oh, how things changed in the 2000s, with new monsters to destroy and new justifications for centralized power! FULL ARTICLE
