Mike Gunderloy recently linked to an editorial by author Susan Cheever on the legality of Google's Book Search:
Is it poignantly wrongheaded to want to get paid for my work? Is it a failure of understanding to think that when my father's short stories are read and enjoyed or made into movies, his widow should be able to profit?
I'll definitely agree that the way Google has gone about this has been remarkably heavy-handed. But I firmly believe that Google Book Search is akin to the Public Library: a clear public good. The human race gets access to more information, and the authors get a major new sales avenue for all their work. What's not to like?
Evidently a lot, from Susan Cheever's perspective. I emailed Susan to clarify her position:
But that's exactly what Google Print enables: selling more copies of your books, not less! Think of the millions of people that will find (and possibly buy) your books through a Google search-- people all over the world-- that otherwise would not even know your book existed! Only an excerpt of the book can be viewed. To get the rest, you buy the book. Probably via a link provided on the very same search result page. That's perhaps the ultimate sales tool.
Surprisingly, Susan responded to my email:
Yes, that's what they say. They say they are trying to help writers. Don't you think it's odd that they don't ask the writers first? How about the fact that they don't even want to discuss their project with the Author's Guild thus forcing us to sue? "Help" is a funny work in this context.
Which brings us back to the issue of heavy-handedness. All this led James Shaw to try Google Book Search and conclude that yes, Google is evil:
I just tried a book search for the first time. I signed in with my gmail account (never used, just reserved my name) and was able to view all the pages that I wanted to out of a random book I found. Occasionally it would tell me that I couldn't view the next page "to protect the copyright of the author" but it then allowed me to go back to the page index and choose the next page anyway. So, from my layman's point of view Google has allowed me to view any entire book still under copyright. It didn't cost me a dime.
I think James is vastly understating how incredibly annoying and inefficient it is to "read" a book this way. But what's even more interesting is a comment Mike Gunderloy posted to that entry:
I don't see Google as the villain here - indeed, I don't really think there *is* a villain, just a culmination of forces. Yes, you can still buy some of my books, and some of them are still in print. And if you buy one, thanks. But you're a vanishing breed: sales of computer books of the sort I write are, across the board, dramatically down in the past three or four years. My own diagnosis is that this is directly related to the ease of finding the same information that the books used to carry by searching on the Internet. Why pay book prices (which have also gone up hideously in those years) when you can search for free? The net result is that I have seen my royalty checks all but vanish in the last three years, to the point where I can no longer afford to write computer books. The titles that are now on the shelves are the last ones from me.
This concerns me, because Mike's books are good. They're not those narrow, throw-away tech books (Learn Visual Basic 6.0 in 24 hours!) that are obsolete in a few years anyway. I mean, it's not Code Complete -- but it's well worth buying.
I've always thought of printed books as complementary to the information available on the internet. If nothing else, they're a much more eyeball-friendly way to read a large volume of information. I wonder if the general sales decline Mike decries here applies to any genre other than programming and technology books?
Interestingly I have done a 180, or more like a 360... hell, a 720 on the whole issue. At first I always bought a thick computer tomb, then I googled but after reading the first chapter of "Extreme Programming Adventures in C#" I found that Ron Jeffries said what I had been feeling. That googling is great for laser-focused information but you often want the same voice for more general things as well as something to hold. I'm once again back to purchasing technical books. Though I find that as before there are a lot of crap titles still.
For non-tech books though I can't imagine ever not buying the physical product. I'm a fiction junky and no way I want to drag my laptop into the tub. I also like smoking a cigar while reading out on my deck and something about reading from a laptop or PDA just destroys the mood (along with my eyes).
All that being said, Google Book Search holds no real appeal to me.
Shawn Oster on December 16, 2005 3:17 AMSimilarly to what Shawn said, information available on the internet is mainly to research a specific issue. So I think that books that mainly serve as a reference tool are probably seeing a decline. If you want to quickly look up what members and methods are available for a XmlTextReader, it's easier and faster to google it than it is to look it up in the index of a reference book.
Of course, none of this should apply to fiction work, except for the possibly piracy of e-books. I could never do my leisure reading from an e-book though. I read God's Debris by Scott Adams in PDF form, and although I enjoyed the book, I despised reading it from a computer monitor. By the way, the only reason I downloaded that book is because he's offering it as a free download:
I don't see myself moving to all electronic anytime soon. There is something about holding a book that keeps me focused on the subject at hand. It is too easy for me to get sidetracked googling supplemental information on every topic and tangent presented by the author.
The real value held online, with regards to print books, comes from being able to read chapter exerpts and other people's book reviews. This is invaluable aid in weeding out the crap that some publishers try to pass off as good techincal writing. These are the authors that will really suffer. In other words, not every Tom, Dick and Harry (or female equivalent) is going to get rich off a book just bcause it is s about the next hot topic.
Hoakie on December 16, 2005 5:17 AMAs I understood it, books were never all that lucrative anyway, except for a tiny-tiny fraction of authors with megahits.
Take it from Scott Mitchell's blog entry on this: "If your dream is to become a rich man, don't write computer trade books."
He cites the intangibles of "hey, I wrote a book" as the #1 reason to do it.
Jeff Atwood on December 16, 2005 6:35 AMAlso, Charles Carroll reaches the same conclusion as Scott Mitchell:
And Morris Rosenthal recommends self-publishing:
Point taken. My jab was a result of buying to many really crappy books years ago :(
Hoakie on December 16, 2005 7:20 AMSeth Godin shares interesting story about his "Unleashing the Ideavirus". Book was available for free (and still is at www.ideavirus.com), so people could read it in pdf format. Surely, not many liked that way of reading, but they did like the book, so it went to #5 in Amazon bestsellers within 48 hours
being available in dead tree format.
I am sad to hear that I won't enjoy another well written book from Mike Gunderloy. Few resources available on the internet are as good as the end result of a well written, properly researched, and effectively edited book.
I like Google. However, in this case, I strongly agree with the point of view of the Author's Guild. A public library isn't a commercial entity. This is like a library if libraries handed out photocopies of the books with paid advertisements in the margins, and told the borrower to not bother returning it.
In this interaction, the searcher is getting the author's work, Google is getting ad revenue, advertisers get clicks, and the author gets what? A free ad for the copyrighted work the searcher just read, plus the 'benefit' of a freely available digitial version of their work.
I like Google. However, in this case, I strongly agree with the point of view of the Author's Guild. A public library isn't a commercial entity.
Maybe you've hit on something here: Google *thinks* it *IS* part of the public trust! Of course, it's really just another giant corporation with a "don't be evil" slogan. That is a key difference.
Craigslist.org is another company that has a hard time thinking of itself as the corporate entity it really is. And it gets them into problems, too:
Just wanted to post my two cents that Mike Gunderloy is one of my favorite authors and I personally own several of his books, including Coder to Developer (common sense though, IMO). I find reading text in a book easier than staring at a computer screen to read (I get enough of that coding day-to-day). The LCD helps with cleartype enabled, yet I still find myself reading the book to relax and get educated on a topic.
Brian Swiger on December 17, 2005 12:13 PMEven with ClearType, LCDs can't compete with a book for readability. Even a cheap book on rough paper.
Perhaps if you can afford one of those 200dpi IBM screens they might. But those aren't exactly portable...
The very latest ClearType in WPF is very very good. Combined with the readability features in the new flow text layout handling, it makes an astonishing difference to how quickly you can read text and for how long on screen.
And it still doesn't come close to a really cheap book...
Ian Griffiths on December 17, 2005 12:46 PMSpeaking from a naive perspective, how much money does an author actually make on a book "sale"?
More than zero. Typically they get royalties after book sales recover the advance.
If Google Print becomes a tool that is as essential as Google Search, won't this allow the author to skip the publisher, and pocket ALL of the royalties associated with their book???
No, because Google is not paying any royalties. Google is 'paying' authors with free publicity. You can already do what you want by publishing on the web ... it implicity makes your book searchable by Google. The controversy is Google scanning copyrighted works, placing them on the web (in a limited form) and using them to make money.
What is the purpose of the Authors Guild? Are there a bunch of publishing companies in control (or in the background) who are towing the company line to allow them to stay in charge of their profit margins?
Hardly. The Author's guild is exactly what it sounds like. It lobby's for things that are in the interests of author's and provides legal help in disputes (which is typically against agents and publisher's). I'm sure not all author's agree with every action of the guild, but arguing that members should get paid for their work probably isn't controversial among the members.
Steve Steiner on December 19, 2005 1:15 AMNo, because Google is not paying any royalties. Google is 'paying' authors with free publicity. You can already do what you want by publishing on the web ... it implicitly makes your book searchable by Google. The controversy is Google scanning copyrighted works, placing them on the web (in a limited form) and using them to make money.
But if they provide a link to a service (Amazon, etc.) Where a writer can sell the book/pdf? I suppose this amounts to advertising the book, which is not necessarily the largest expense in publishing and selling a book.
So, the only way to get Google to pay attention to the Authors Guild (who I misrepresented in my ignorance, and I apologize), is to use the nuclear option of "We don't want any books searchable!" Then, once the Authors have Google's attention, they can push toward some kind of click rewards system? e.g., Google lists relevant advertisements for a particular book search, then uses some of the profits from their ad-clicking to pay the authors of the books for a "clicked" book. I suppose this would be fraught with click fraud, but still, I hate to shut down the idea of searchable database of every book ever written.
Anonymous Coward on December 19, 2005 2:52 AMAuthors suing google over this are missing an important point - google has already made it easy to find certain information. If authors do not let them make it easy to find their print books, it is the sales of print books that will lose out, not google.
We now have the technology and infrastructure to dramatically lower the cost of information acquisition, and we are using it. We are starting to expect it, and for good reason - it works. If authors find a way to get compensated, and a place to exist in that infrastructure, then they will get paid. If they try to stick their heads in the sand, they will not.
There are no guarantees - authors may try to find a way to get paid but fail. I would not like to see that - creativity does have a cost, and we need to compensate creators. That said, I am not convinced that we need to give a copyright that can extend for decades, but that is a different debate.
In the computer book world, it is already hard to write a decent book. So many of the past books were just a slight reshuffling of the API documentation, bound and printed. These lesser books are completely dominated by a google search on that API documentation. I did not enjoy paying for hundreds of pages of out of date documentation even then, and I am not sad to see those rather poor books go.
A very small number of computer books were good - those were worth buying before, and books of their type are worth buying now. A google print search that led to them will result in sales, at least from me. A google search that leads to the same old API docs won't.
I do most of my pleasure reading from plain old dead tree paperbacks. I buy them from amazon, and I base those purchases on amazon, bn, and other reviews. I also read books in bookstores, so I have a pretty good idea of what I am getting. Google Print is a potential new avenue for me to find reading material.
The Baen Free Library has put up entire works on the net for people to read, often before the book ships. I have, I admit, read a couple of books that way, and then not bought the print book when it came out. On the other hand, I bought the entire John Ringo Posleen series based on reading the first dozen pages at the Baen Free Library. Overall, I find now that I rarely read more than a few dozen pages of a book at the BFL, just like I do at brick and mortar stores. I came to the conclusion that if I was reading 50 pages, why not just pre-order and read it in a form that can be read on an exercise bike or a recliner.
So, I hope that authors, as a class, find a way to get fair compensation in the new, easy-access-to-information world. An author who claims that this kind of excerpting is fundamentally unfair is not going to get any sympathy at all - once you published your work for profit, I should be allowed to find and evaluate it. The details need work, true, but the overall idea of using some kind of search seems pretty reasonable.
You _will_ impress me by writing books I want to read, and by finding a way to show me your books - google print, amazon, brick and mortar, or whatever else will work. Google is providing a very low cost (both in time and effort) way for me to find you.
Don't blow it.
Scott Ellsworth on December 19, 2005 3:26 AMThis argument is surprisingly similar to the RIAA/mp3 battle. Speaking from a naive perspective, how much money does an author actually make on a book "sale"?
To me, it seems that Google Print could be an empowering tool for an author. One of the main reasons for having publishing companies is to get the "work" in books, and get them out the door and all over the country. Doesn't Google Print take on the role of the distribution network? If so, won't authors be able to create their texts and submit them to Google Print and skip the publisher? If Google Print becomes a tool that is as essential as Google Search, won't this allow the author to skip the publisher, and pocket ALL of the royalties associated with their book???
Now, back to naive questions (it's Monday and I don't want to look it up right now). What is the purpose of the Authors Guild? Are there a bunch of publishing companies in control (or in the background) who are towing the company line to allow them to stay in charge of their profit margins?
Anonymous Coward on December 19, 2005 10:24 AMI recently asked a prominent political scientist I know for a book recommendation on a particular topic. She said that almost all the good, up-to-date information and commentary comes from periodicals, and most of these are available on the web. So it isnrsquo;t just geek bookshelves that are shrinking.
The latest technical book purchases Irsquo;ve made were the Ruby book http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0974514055/njonsson and the Rails book http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/097669400X/njonsson . The publisher sells both PDFs and paperbacks, although I opted for paper. Therersquo;s probably a future for technical books that are published like this in both formats simultaneously.
Nils Jonsson on December 19, 2005 11:15 AMAnother viewpoint - from a non-tech author, can be found here: http://hollylisle.com/writingdiary2/index.php/2005/11/11/the-google-e-mails/
Google has been heavy handed, and they are NOT compensating authors in a fair manner. However, book sales MIGHT increase, so an author "shouldn't mind." I tend to side with Holly and Susan Cheever.
Leah on December 20, 2005 3:21 AMShawn and others - try the ebookwise version - I think I have read over a hundred e-books since I bought it, and the ONLY (seriously!) reason I still buy some paperback books is to discover new authors worth reading. Once I discover a new author I like, I look for the electronic version of his books. (I'm talking fiction here, the ebookwise reader is not good for technical books.)
Marcel Popescu on December 21, 2005 3:16 AMHTML
I do enjoy reading. I really appreciate it. thanks
Sexy costumes on June 30, 2009 10:16 AMThis is ridiculous. Does they not realize that you can do the exact same thing at a bookstore? I've sat reading entire chapters that way, yet still buy good books, technical and otherwise. In my pre-teen, pre-money days, I read a few books this way. Those were not lost sales for anyone, believe me.
I almost wonder if this is EULA-logic creeping into the mainstream: people shouldn't be allowed to see something in full until they've already paid.
Coder to Developer sits on my bookshelf because I was allowed to look through it in full and weigh its quality.

| High School Senior's Extra Experience - Marikina (January 8-9, 2010)September 29, 2009: As the news of the
devastation in Marikina and Pasig caused by Typhoon Ondoy filled the
airwaves, along with the thoughts of pity and sympathy, a small
thought lingered in the mind of Patty Isidro, Year IV Level
Facilitator: "Can we still hold our fourth quarter major integration
at Marikina?" Several weeks and several frantic phone calls
later, she had her answer: Yes. Fast forward 3 months, the Seniors were on their
way to that "little Singapore" in the valley unsparingly inundated
with rain runoff from the nearby hills of Antipolo and Quezon City.
What would they see? What stories of horror and heroism would
they hear? What lessons would they learn? Packed off into seven buses, the seven sections first stopped at the Marikina City Hall to pick up their respective tour guides. Even here, the flood's remnants could still be seen. The heretofore clean streets were very dusty, probably the remnants of the mud that covered the city last September. However, as testament to the resolve of the city's inhabitants, there was no litter in sight. The students' were brought to St. Scholastica's
Academy's adopted community, Sitio Iwahig. It was one of the
worst hit areas in the city, with flood waters rising well above 10
feet. Mud splatters on the houses' walls stand as mute
evidence of the tragedy. But even here, the signs of recovery
were unmistakable. What is debatable is whether this recovery
is due to the help of the city government or the residents' sheer
will to survive and desire to overcome adversity. The other destinations of the Scholasticans that
day were the Novia Soap Factory, the Mar-Italia Shoe Factory and the
Nangka High School. The Nangka High School was also heavily
damaged by the floods. Traces of mud cascading from the third
floor could still be seen that day. The school's equipment and
materials were also damaged by the raging waters. As a gesture
of goodwill and gratitude for their hospitality, SSC, Manila donated
a coil of welding cable to the school. All in all, it was undoubtable that Marikina is
well on its way to recovery. It was an eye-opener for the
students as well as a source of hope for their respective cities. Part of the SEE Marikina activity was an
overnight stay at the St. Scholastica's Academy campus. Due to
the effects of Typhoon Ondoy, this part of the activity was
redesigned into a half-day activity at SSC, Manila. Here, the
students practiced and executed their cheer/pangkat movements and
accomplished their academic challenges. Once again, another hallmark of high school
education was over. From the Lakbay-aral in their first year
to this activity, even as they forget their classroom lessons, they
will not surely forget the life lessons learned in Marikina. |

Hey Guys
I am pretty new here at AM ... thanks for having me. Hopefully I can contribute and help some of you guys out by touching up on some common questions.
I'd like to start this out by reviewing 2 products by Purity-Solutions.net
Tamoxifen and Exemestane
I am on HRT ... so I am 'on' year round. BUT .... I have bilateral gyno flare ups that are just nasty nasty nasty!
I can tell legit products like serms and anti-aromatase compounds after only a few days use.
Over this past month .... I have used Purity-solutions.net exemestane while loading up on a frontload bulker .... and it worked extremely well. NO bloast and NO gyno issues AT ALL.
Now ... when I 'cruise' a bit here and there I usually drop my anti-aromatase and just add a serm. Usually nolva or clomid ... both do my just fine and keep the puffy nips down to nothing if it is legit product.
Using purity's tamoxifen I was more than pleased with the results while cruising. NO problems with the gyno and muscles stayed rock hard.
I will update more later. Just wanted to throw these two items out there for your review to get things started.
In my book ... Purity-solutions.net is Rockin' and GTG!

Nas thinks he and Frank Ocean could have made a "great" record.
The pair had collaborated on a track believed to be called 'No Such Thing as White Jesus' but producer Hit-Boy lost the digital recordings and the song was never completed, but Nas thinks it would have been hugely successful had it ever been released.
He said:
"I've talked about a song with Frank Ocean about a year and a half before anybody worked with him and since then it's been a heavily anticipated record, but I didn't talk about which song actually.
"Now, I've talked about us working and we never got to that point, completing a great record. Who knows? I guess it would've been a big record if it ever came to light."
The lyrics were: Frank previously revealed some lyrics he said were intended for the song.
"Whatever you do, young king, don't wind up dead
Young queen, cross your legs
Put a crown on your head and remove the chains
'Cause even diamond chains are for slaves
Don't set foot in no penitentiary and don't taste the poison/
Don't you bail on your families."
[...] Nas is urging young people to register to vote in a new video for OurTime.org. "The future of this country is in the hands of young people," Nas says in the video. "We have the power. We can go to the polls in droves … and vote to get the person that we want. We can do that." [...]

Effect of HIV-2 Infection on HIV-1 Disease Progression. | |

PMID: 23150974 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review |
To the Editor: Esbjörnsson and colleagues (July 19 issue)(1) conclude that infection with human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) attenuates the course of HIV-1 infection. Their report raises three issues. First, in Guinea-Bissau, up to 30% of persons infected with both HIV-1 and HIV-2 have coinfection with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1),(2) a circumstance that leads to an increased percentage of CD4+ T cells.(3) The authors did not control for coinfection with HTLV-1, a condition that may well have contributed to the high percentage of CD4+ T cells among persons with dual HIV infection.

Moving towards a greener data center? For some this means reducing CO2 emissions, but for most it's reducing their utility bill. Let's face it, convincing the bean counters to fund initiatives that will lower operational costs is much easier than getting them excited about reducing the data center's carbon footprint.
With both energy costs and consumption on the rise, there is an ever increasing need to manage expenses related to powering IT equipment. To know just how much your IT equipment contributes to your data center utility bill, use Managed Power Distribution Units to meter and report total kWh energy consumption.
Used in place of an ordinary power strip, the MPC and VMR Series Managed PDUs are intelligent IP enabled power strips that meter and report kWh, kW, Amps, Volts and Temperature via local LED, SNMP, IP, Serial RS-232, Web Interface or through any MIB based software. When using the MPC Series administrators can know the kilowatt-hour consumption at each rack and branch circuit. They can also switch equipment ON, OFF or Power Cycle (Reboot) equipment if required.
Whether your focus is on reducing your carbon footprint or the utility bill, Interworld Electronics can help you know just how much energy your IT equipment is consuming.
By combining Remote Power Monitoring, Power Distribution and Power Cycle & Reboot switching these devices allow power outlets and hence network equipment to be monitored and controlled from a remote location. They provide a reliable, cost effective way to re-start "locked-up" devices as well as monitor your power usage to help reduce your carbon footprint.

Now you can get incoming 03 calls for under a 1p/min
With Planet Numbers' brand new monthly package deals you can now receive incoming 0333 sales calls for only 0.666p a minute...
0333 numbers have taken off like wildfire since they were launched and here's why...
With an 0800 number, although your customer doesn't pay a penny to call you, it costs you nearly 5p a minute to receive it.
But with an 0333, although your customer still doesn't pay to call you (because the call is generally bundled in with their land line and mobile monthly tariffs), you pay considerably less to receive the call.
And with our brand new 0333 package deals you can actually pay as little as 0.666p a minute for each call you receive.
Our new 0333 inclusive calls packages
With these new 0333 packages, you pay a monthly charge based on the type of number you buy (from Bronze to Special, see below) and the amount of calls you expect to receive.
So, the more minutes of incoming calls you get, the less you pay per minute. Right down to a minimum per-minute rate of just 0.666p, when you receive 15,000 or more minutes a month.
Monthly service charge | Inclusive minutes | Equivalent rate |
£15 (Bronze numbers) | 1000 per month | 1.5p/min |
£25 (Silver numbers) | 2000 per month | 1.25p/min |
£40 (Gold numbers) | 4000 per month | 1p/min |
£60 (Platinum numbers) | 7000 per month | 0.85p/min |
£75 (Diamond numbers) | 10000 per month | 0.75p/min |
£100 (Special numbers) | 15000 per month | 0.666p/min |
Please note that if you get more 0333 calls than you anticipated, you still pay the package price per minute. So if your package is for 4000 minutes worth of calls and you actually get 5000 you still pay the rate for 4000.
An 0333 to suit every budget
0333 numbers are classified in Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond and Special categories. Essentially, the more memorable and distinctive the number, the more it costs to buy. To see a small sample of our available 0333 numbers, click here now.
If you'd like one that isn't listed, though, just call my sales teams on 08450 777 777 and they'll instantly check availability for you..
Remember that with a Planet Numbers 0333 number, we simply divert your incoming calls to one of your current numbers. Your phone will continue to receive calls on its original number and it can be used to make outgoing calls as normal.
We can divert your 0333 number to a mobile too, from just 10p a minute.
And if you haven't popped over yet...
Don't forget that we've had a bit of a spring clean at www.planet-numbers.co.uk. The site's had a bit of Changing Rooms style makeover so it's now a bit smarter, a bit brighter, and possibly even easier to use than it was already.
When you get five minutes, pop over and have a look, and see all the great services we can offer you. Not just 03 numbers but also the very best in 0800, 0844 and 0845 numbers plus a host of really useful add-ons to your phone services, like automatic virtual receptionist, call recording and fax to email, for example. Click here to go straight there.
Meanwhile, to find out more about our great new 03 pricing structure, call us on 08450 777 777.

strain white widow/ pure
do you clean your bong? and change out the water atleast daily?
yes its clean and fresh !
hahah . Dude , if you love your bong . You will clean it daily . A clean bong is a happy bong, happy weed, and happy smoker .
do you burn to much of you weed at first? i if i do not move the flame over the bowl nicely when i take my hit i get to much smoke at first and it kind of ruins the hit for me. i also get a weirder taste if i blow it out fast.
yes its very dry 6 month in vazedid you dry it properly and cure it?
I have a 24 inch HBG with a 20 arm perc and I get the same problem. You are milking the bowl for waaaaay to long and that taste is resin build up. Does it coats your tongue,nostrils and throat in a nasty stale smoke taste? If so welcome to the world of Iron Lungs. The only way to fix this is to,(A.) take a smaller hit(like a puss) or (B.) deal with the taste.lol

Discovering Mouse Warrens
Monday, March 8, 2010 at 10:01PM
Field mice spend much of their lives in warrens of tunnels that they build underground. There they are relatively safe from predators like owls, hawks, and foxes. In winter, when a good, heavy snow falls, the mice can come above ground and build their warrens in the snow itself. Then, when the snow melts, they go underground again. But not without leaving behind a trace of their under-snow warrens.
This winter's historically heavy snowfall is finally melting away where we live. And here, sure enough, are the meandering trenches that the mice followed to get around beneath the snow.

CORTES RODAS, Francisco. Global Economical Justice in the International System of States. Estud.filos [online]. 2009, n.39, pp. 215-241. ISSN 0121-3628.
Abstract: This article discusses some of the proposals that modern and contemporary discussions offer on the normative methods for a New International Order. It treats of the possibility of demanding, as a matter of justice, the transformation of the relations of power in the International economical and political orders, between the richest societies and the poorer ones. Four different models of Internal and Interstate State Order are exposed and criticized. First) The realist model of the Absolutist State which establishes peace internally and externally through dissuasion, and which denies that a criteria of justice can be formulated to define the relations between states. Second) The Kantian model of State of Law. Third) The Social State of Rawls with two differentiated models of the contract to define the relations in the interior and the exterior and Fourth) the Cosmopolitan Project. Finally, the liberal Project of Justice is criticized because it reduces the problem of the Re-Ordering of the International Order to distributive justice and does not question the structures of the actual Global Economic System.

Metrolina Golf Magainze publisher Reid Spencer and wife Lee Spencer on the par-3 17th tee at Coral Canyon. The day started cold--as you might expect for December in Utah--but warmed up nicely during the round.
MESQUITE, Nev. – Arguably the best course in the marketing cooperative known as Golf Mesquite isn't even in Nevada. It isn't even in neighboring Arizona.
But Coral Canyon, located in the small town of Washington, Utah, just northeast of St. George, is more than worth the three-state traverse it takes to get there.
of Alabama through its Robert Trent Jones Trail--golf course owners, hoteliers and, since this is Nevada, casino operators have banded together to market Mesquite as a golf destination, not just another spot to pump coins into a slot machine, like Las Vegas, just an hour away to the southwest.
The effort got a shot in the arm when the ReMax World Long Drive Championship adopted Mesquite as its permanent home and the Golf Channel selected Mesquite as a location for its "Big Break" reality show in 2007.
To promote the area, Golf Mesquite stepped in to host what had been called the Scottsdale Media Golf Classic, an event that had drawn golf writers and broadcasters from across the nation and beyond to the Arizona desert in early December for the past nine years. But when the Arizona hosts said they no longer wanted to fund the event, the folks in Mesquite were happy to step in and step up.
In 2011, after nearly a decade of congregating in Scottsdale, writers from as far away as Canada, Europe and even Iceland, spent most of the first full week of December sampling nearly half of Mesquite's golf offerings, while calling the Casa Blanca Resort and Casino home.
From the hotel, it was little more than 45 minutes to Coral Canyon, a Keith Foster design that is more than worth the drive. And that's even if the drive were boring, which it is anything but. In fact, the drive itself would be worth the time, even if there weren't a really good golf course waiting at the other end.
Less than 30 miles of I-15, an interstate highway that runs from San Diego to the Canadian border just south of Calgary, is in Arizona. But that short stretch of pavement takes you through what is called the Virgin River Gorge. It's a drive that can only be described as spectacular. Though the rock formations are different – more sedimentary reds and beiges than the igneous blue-grey granite of Colorado – it's not unlike the portion of I-70 that plunges deep into Colorado's Glenwood Canyon.
With one exciting drive behind you, you are ready to challenge Coral Canyon, a 7,000-plus-yard layout stretched out over a broad valley floor and framed by mountain ridges in every direction. Foster has given the golfer plenty of room to play here, with generous fairways leading to generally large greens. But that doesn't mean there's not a premium on driving.
On the contrary, Coral Creek is a course that presents numerous risk-reward challenges that make this one of the most strategically interesting desert courses we have ever reviewed in Metrolina Golf Magazine.
The par-4 fifth hole is a perfect example. It's just 365 yards from the blue or back tees and only 343 from the whites. But the hole plays dramatically downhill, and the overall elevation of southeast Utah further shortens the effective yardage even more. But before you automatically reach for your driver, notice how the once ample fairway squeezes through an hourglass opening some 75 yards short of the green. Turn a high draw through or over the wasp-waisted gap and you're rewarded with a short pitch or maybe even an eagle putt. Of course, you could always hit a long iron or rescue club off the tee, but where's the fun in that?
As The Eagles musically advised, "Take another shot of courage" and go with the driver. All you're risking is a lost ball … and a double bogey.
The next hole is a gem of a par 3 set flush against a deep, rocky ravine to the left and more rocks and desert to the right. It's just 110 yards from the back, but before you dismiss this as "pitch and putt," let me remind you that the seventh at Pebble Beach is just 107 from the tips, and many of the game's best players think it's one of the best par-3s in the world.
But let's get back to driving strategy. And to do that, we only have to advance one hole. That's because the 432-yard seventh might just might require your best drive of the day, if you want to set up the best approach, that is. Sure, you can take a three-wood and play safely out to the right of the first bunker down the left side. But you'll face a long approach. If you want to challenge the hole, you must fit a driver between two more bunkers that pinch the landing area to less than 20 yards near the 150 mark. With mountains to the right and another deep desert wash area left, this is a drive that demands your full attention, not to mention precise execution.
That's the story of Coral Canyon in microcosm. This is a course that, if you choose to play safe, you'll always find plenty of room for your shots. But to score really well here, you'll need to cash in on some of the rewards the architect is offering the risk-taking golfer.
Regardless of your decision, plan to play Coral Canyon early enough to finish by mid-afternoon. That way, you'll have time to take the short drive up into Utah's Zion National Park, which is just minutes away. There, you can enjoy some of the most awesome scenery – not to mention sunsets – our National Park Service has to offer before you make the short and scenic drive back to Mesquite.

Up until now, I have had a very odd way of writing reviews (I guess). I have tried doing a spotlight format where I highlight some of the interesting areas of an RPG book as I read through it, essentially going through my read of the book with the people who read the blog. I have kind of started to dislike this style and will be moving away from it. In light of that information, my current spotlight on L5R Enemies of the Empire is going to be changed into a standard Review of the book over at Stargazer's World. I may end up talking more about the book, after the review, here, on my blog, but the full review of the book is going to be the first thing you see from here on out. I think that is just about the only way I am ever going to get through all of the material that is piling up here on my end. Stay tuned for when my review of Enemies of the Empire comes out some time this week, or maybe next.

Personally, I've liked and admired your writing style; I think it's articulate, intelligent, informative and shows personality. But I also understand your feelings. As a blogger you often get that feeling of being stayed in what you do, and the need for a 'change' comes over you - be it for a redesign of the entire blog look/ layout, the content, or delivery - but consider this before changing anything: would you have this many followers if they didn't enjoy your writing style? Sometimes that old nut, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" rings true... ;)

Rain, rain, stay all day because these sweet boots are perfect for splashing in sidewalk puddles. Two handles at the top make pulling them on a cinch. Grippy rubber soles prevent slipping while sloshing through the streets in style.

THE BEATLES – "The Ballad Of John And Yoko"
The Beatles' last number one is a rum do. Knocked out quickly with half the band absent it's a postcard from Lennon and Ono's '68-'69 peace tour, turning on the repeated chorus suggestion that "the way things are going / They're gonna crucify me".
The background to this imminent martyrdom includes:
- Honeymoon in Paris
- Marriage in Gibraltar ("near Spain"!!)
- Staying in bed for a week
- Pillow-talk with new wife on spiritual matters
- Stopover in Vienna to eat cake
- Warm reception on return from British press
Set against this we have a certain amount of interested cynicism from other pressmen and some difficulty getting a boat in verse one. Even so it's fair to say Jesus had a harder time of it.
It's very hard to know whether to take "The Ballad Of John And Yoko" at face value. On the one hand, his Plastic Ono Band work around this time suggests Lennon was taking himself very seriously indeed. On the other, the verse-chorus discrepancy on "Ballad" is so ridiculous that it's difficult not to see some last bit of impishness at work.
In the end it doesn't really matter: the track rattles along fiercely enough, and its modicum of verve and venom probably make it a better back-to-Beatle-basics contender than "Get Back", but there's nothing – especially 35 years later – to pull a listener back to a glorified MySpace posting. The fact that it got to No.1 at all probably underlined Lennon's point that the Beatles were something he (and the others) needed to break away from.

You can how ever get married in every state with out any kind of religous ceremony at all if the church doesn't belive that 2 people who love each other should be together.
Personally I am happy in my heterosexual relationship but don't feel threatend by some one who feels other than I do. GOD (by what ever name you choose to call him) made us all and embraces us all.
The "bible"( which ever one you choose) is MAN's attempt to codify something that can't be codified.

Fundamental science
Fundamental science is either fundamental physics or basic science. To the phenomena or explanations of certain sciences, the term fundamental science attributes a causal or conceptual priority according to either of two, differing distinctions. More commonly, fundamental science is fundamental physics, held to underlie special sciences. Less commonly, fundamental science is basic science, distinguished from applied science.
Viewed as the fundamental science, fundamental physics underlies all other sciences—the special sciences—that rest upon, and in principle are derivable from, or conversely are reducible to, the objects and laws of fundamental physics. Less commonly, fundamental science is synonym to basic science, also termed pure science—principally physics, chemistry, and biology—held apart from applied sciences like engineering and biomedicine, which develop technology or techniques through translating portions of basic science.
Versus special science[edit]
Modeling fundamental interactions, fundamental physics is recognized in philosophy of science as fundamental science, presumed to be more basic than, that is, to underlie, all other sciences—such as astrophysics, chemistry, biology, geology, psychology, and economics—categorized as special sciences.[1][2][3] Whereas fundamental physics has sought laws of universal regularity, special sciences normally include ceteris paribus laws, which are predictively accurate to high probability in "normal conditions" or with "all else equal", but have exceptions.[2]
Not ceteris paribus, chemistry's laws seem exceptionless in their domain, and developed without the severe metaphysical and epistemological challenges encountered by physics concerning the natures of substance, space, and time, or encountered by biological sciences concerning the natures of life and mind. Yet chemistry's laws were presumably reduced to fundamental physics—to quantum mechanics and then quantum electrodynamics[4]—and so chemistry is special science. For bridging physical sciences to biological sciences via biochemistry, however, chemistry has been viewed as the central science.
Versus applied science[edit]
Basic science is development and establishment of information to aid understanding of the world, whereas applied science uses portions of basic science to develop technology or technique establishing interventions to alter events or outcomes as desired.[5][6] Although applied science can interface closely with basic science in contexts of research and development, applied science is commonly termed engineering, whereas basic science is often termed pure science.[7] Basic or pure science has also, if less commonly, been called "fundamental science".[7]
In this sense, fundamental science includes fundamental physics along with many special sciences—astrophysics, biology, chemistry, geology, and so on, within natural science and perhaps cognitive sciences, but generally excluding behavioral sciences like psychology and social sciences like economics—and excludes engineering, medical sciences, and epidemiology, for instance, which are applied sciences, set apart from basic/pure/fundamental science.[6][7][8][9]
Common, populist errors mistake medicine, technology, and their uses for science.[5][6][9][10] They can be grouped: STM (science, technology & medicine); STS (science, technology & society). Yet, though interrelated and influencing each other,[8][11] they publish in different journals and have divergent aims, cultures, methods, principles, standards, and knowledge.[6][9][11][12] Although the Nobel Prize committee, continuing its tradition begun in 1901, mixes basic science with applied science to annually award a single Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, the globe's longest continuing scientific society, the Royal Society of London, categorizes its awards by holding physical sciences and biological sciences apart from applied science, including apart from medical sciences.[13]

Graduated with a Joint Honours Bachelors degree in Biology and Management, Imperial College London, 2011
Currently: Analyst, Loans and High Yield Credit desk
I always had a passing interest in Finance but it was during my degree program that I developed more of an interest in this field. Being from a non-finance academic background, I was keen to complete an internship in a bank where I would have the opportunity to learn as much as I could about the industry, in order to gain a better understanding of what areas my skill set would be best suited for.
One thing that stood out for me, in comparison to other firms, was the structure of Nomura's program, where interns had 2 rotations between the Equities and Fixed Income divisions. This was a key determining factor when it came to making my decision. Although I initially thought I might be better suited to an Equities role, my skill set and interests turned out to be much better inclined to a role within the Fixed Income Division.
I interned in the Fixed Income FX Sales team and then with the Equities Cash Sales Trading team. On both teams, my day typically started at around 6.30 am to 7.00 am, with a trading meeting, after which I would put together a summary of the key details and email this to the team. Following the meeting, there would be desk-specific meetings in order to organise tasks for the day before the markets opened for daily trading. After trading, I would often assist the team with tasks such as reviewing the days' trades with the settlement teams to ensure they had been booked correctly etc. On the FX Sales desk, I also helped out with specific ad hoc projects, which included building an Excel model that was used as a platform to structure sales strategies for the team members.
In my current role on the Loans and High Yield Credit desk, my day tends to start around 7.30 am with a morning meeting call. After this call, I put together a summary of news highlights from Bloomberg, relating to the companies that we manage in our loan portfolio. During earnings season, I will put together earnings summaries for the specific names in the portfolio that I am responsible for and circulate these to the relevant teams and people within the bank. If there is a 'live' deal being assessed by the desk, there will often be a series of meetings with colleagues across the Investment Banking, Finance and Risk Management divisions to discuss and analyse the merits of the deal before it is sent to the necessary approval committees. A recent highlight for me was the Management Buy-Out of Iceland Foods – it was the first deal I was responsible for from start to finish and it was a thrill to see it announced in the news upon completion!
I find the Investment Banking industry fascinating and am looking forward to gaining more experience and progressing at an even faster pace with my career over the next few years.

Combat Exposure and Mental Health: The Long-Term Effects Among Vietnam and Gulf War VeteransDaniel M. Gadeaffiliation not provided to SSRN Jeffrey B. WengerUniversity of Georgia - Department of Public Administration & Policy; RAND Corporation October 22, 2009 Health Economics, Vol. 20, No. 4, pp. 401-416, April 2011 Abstract: Using a random sample of more than 4000 veterans, we test the effects of combat exposure on mental health. We focus on two cohorts of veterans: those who served in Vietnam (1964-1975) and the Gulf War (1990-1991). Combat exposure differed between these groups in intensity, duration and elapsed time since exposure. We find that combat exposure generally, and exposure to dead, dying, or wounded people, specifically, is a significant predictor of mental health declines as measured by an individual's Mental Component Summary (MCS) score. Under our general specifications, the negative effects of combat on mental health were larger for Gulf war veterans than for Vietnam veterans as of 2001. These effects persist after controlling for demographic characteristics, insurance coverage, income and assets. Using discrete factor, nonparametric maximum likelihood (DFML) estimation we controlled for unobserved heterogeneity as well as the factors above. In the DFML specifications we find a negative impact of exposure to dead, wounded or dying people for both Gulf and Vietnam veterans, but find no statistically significant effect for combat exposure overall for Vietnam veterans as of 2001. Based on our Gulf war parameters, we estimate that the costs of mental health declines to be between $87 and $318 per year for each soldier with combat service and exposure to dead, dying, and wounded people.

Unfortunately he is retiring from Congress this year. The Honorable Ron Paul.
I was always on the bubble when it came to Ron Paul. I would agree with much of what he said, then he would throw something in from left field and leave me stunned, lol. Though as far as pork spending goes I have to agree Ron Paul is just as bad as all the others.
Democrats and Republicans alike are both bad when it comes to earmarks. While Democrats do typically favor larger government which equals more spending (much more), both parties in congress like their personal projects a little to much. As for Ron Paul, here is an excerpt from an article written in 2011 (hyperlinks removed).
***Paul made over $157 million in earmark requests for FY 2011, one of only four House Republicans to request any earmarks. Additionally, he made over $398 million in earmark requests for FY 2010, again one of the leading Republican House members. These earmark requests include:
$8 million from federal taxpayers for Recreational Fishing Piers.
$2.5 million from taxpayers for "new benches, trash receptacles, bike racks, decorative street lighting."
$2.5 million from taxpayers to modify medians and sidewalks for an "Economically Disadvantaged" area.
$2.5 million from federal taxpayers for a "Revelation Missionary Baptist Community Outreach Center."
$38 million in multiple requests for literacy programs to "encourage parents to read aloud to their children."
$18 million from federal taxpayers for a Commuter Rail Preliminary Engineering Phase (light rail).
$4 million from federal taxpayers for the "Trails and Sidewalks Connectivity Initiative."
$11 million from federal taxpayers for a "Community-Based Job Training Program."
$2 million from federal taxpayers for a "Clean Energy" pilot project.
$5 million from federal taxpayers in order to build a parking garage.
$1.2 million for a "Low-income working families Day Care Program"
$4.5 million from federal taxpayers for a new Youth Fair facility.
All of the above earmarks can be found on Paul's own congressional website. While Paul does not digitize the requests prior to FY 2011, they're still available as PDFs. Paul typically will make the earmark request, but then votes against or abstains from voting on final passage, so he can maintain his claim to have "never voted for an earmark", even the earmark requests he himself made. He defends the practice here.
I'm sure many of these earmarks have a logical rationale behind them. And many of these areas have good lobbyists. But we ought to never put a politician on such a pedestal that we fail to recognize their blemishes. It's better to keep your eyes open about it all.***

Because: I think this article/explanation has a lot of validity. I do think as women we are our toughest critics, and I think we often are tougher on each other than we are on men.
Because: This perhaps was worded unwisely, but it's like, you wouldn't take offense to this unless you were already hyper self-conscious about the subject.
Because: And here is the second article I have read today related to abroad experience that I identify closely with and, therefore, am blogging. I think some of the ideas expressed are a little extremist, even including the above quote, though I do agree with it to some degree. I think what would have tempered the story would have been to include interviews with people who have prioritized global experience, but who are not necessarily looking to become foreign service agents or something of the like. It is those individuals who really point toward this trend's arrival, and I know plenty.
That concept of "shared fate" detailed in the story? I think that has a lot to do with the world "being flat;" the digital age making so much accessible.

My Family Tree Wall Sticker$19.95 Brand : Djeco
Age Suitability : 0-99 years
Dimensions of Packaging: 31.5cm x 28cm x 0.3cm
We all know that young children just LOVE to know how they fit into the world. How many times have you heard a little voice asking questions like "Mum, is Uncle Tom your brother" or, "Who were Grandpa's parents"? Introduce your littlie to not only their immediate family but also their extended family (aunts, uncles, cousins or grandparents) through the use of images with this fantastic wall decal from world renowned toy manufacturer Djeco. With this innovative decal on their wall children will quickly grasp the concept of their family tree and will delight in understanding how they fit into their family structure. Cleverly designed, you simply need to place photos of family members under repositionable frames to help your inquisitive little learner to build their own tree and see where they are situated within the family. Better still, with both frames and the sticker tree itself being repositionable this family tree can be easily taken down and moved as well as reorganised to introduce new members to the family structure. Flat packed and relatively lightweight, this is also the ideal gift to send to overseas family members... Afterall anything that helps littlies across the oceans visually learn about their family back home and help them feel connected is a godsend! Tell A Friend

So now you tell me how i am going to solve this problem and also also method should be generic so that i dont have to write different method with same code for different object return types.
