The undead have risen from their graves. Robin, Carla and Dylan must try and escape the city and make their way to a secluded nature reserve. But Robin is haunted by dreams of her younger brother who died by her own hand a year ago. Will they make it to safety? Will Robin be able to overcome her guilt? Who will survive the rising of the dead? ______________________________
The screen changed and showed footage of two young men struggling out through a smashed store window. They were carrying a large flat-screen TV between them. They did not escape with their prize, however, because as they cleared the debris outside the shop a pair of the walking corpses attacked them. One of the men dropped his end of the TV screen and sprinted away from the attackers, but his partner faced up to the corpses in a moment of bravado. He took a step backwards and looked into the lifeless eyes pouched in sockets of bone and parchment flesh. He pulled a pistol out of his belt and aimed at the closer of the two attackers. It was about ten feet from him when he squeezed the trigger and delivered a slug of lead to the beast's unsuspecting brow. It fell in a spray of pus and gore and bone fragments and the young man aimed his weapon at the second attacker. It was much closer now. It reached out its arm, clothed in decaying rags, and tried to grab him. The young man's mouth opened in a scream of rage and terror and he shot the creature. Its head exploded and curdled brain matter rained onto its slumped form. The young man tucked his gun back into his pants and set off after his fleeing companion.

-- from Washington Juan -- -- it seems inevitable -- the President Obama will endorse gay marriage you think he'll do so before the election.
Why not from now now I think I think what we've got here in the situation where.
There's nothing to be gained by the Obama campaign by doing it before the election.
He's indicated the key word here bill is evolving.
That his position is evolving in the evolution is all towards endorsing gay marriage to the signal is sent.
To -- very key constituency for him the game.
LB GT however have not quite sure I'll get.
-- initials but you you know what I doubt that's already has no business.
What's the -- And -- endorsing gay married not gonna get conservative people -- form anyway so now when -- I just think this is a good point you make.
Because the Catholic vote is critical in this election but actually a majority of Catholics support gay marriage.
There's a big -- the big issue on the ballot in North Carolina.
Coming up and again there's an effort to ban gay marriage and Obama as opposed to that but again that the state he needs he doesn't wanna get to Lebanese.
Tomorrow is here he's opposed to the north Carolinians.
Trying to say not in -- states I don't know I don't know the downside for him coming out -- Doing what Biden gives -- -- Green Zone OK with me what are you so much there's no way he's going to endorse gay marriage North Carolina as a swing state that Democrats are released early.
I think he's oppose -- -- that law in North Carolina is Gloria.
Alienated everybody does want gay marriage North Carolina is already done -- a reality if he were to come out in favor of -- marriage.
He would really energize the conservative base they would you know your -- ready because he doesn't want that law he comes out and said I want gay marriage to to happen that I want it yes that I want in my dad they will energize the conservative base -- -- out it.
Everybody watching all millions is it anybody who thinks -- President Obama doesn't want gay marriage freezing.
-- -- Why don't you always.
And he did -- that.
Yeah Biden just like by everybody knows why this isn't sure Grady.
But yeah.
That's a draw that line now make a full let himself we'll get.
You know you know everybody knows they share -- everybody's playing along and yeah.
Yeah yeah.
I want to -- yeah.
Answer -- why he's not worried about you bill he'll let me it's not that let me tell of course he's worried about Hewitt as as a broadcaster let me just tell you something.
When you talk to black votes when you talk the Hispanic votes and remember they are key in time to time.
And yeah.
Bank has been and you want and I didn't even think -- that.
Black Americans.
And we saw this in California with the referendum now.
Borrow a whole lose and this could suppress the turnout.
Barack Obama boo -- Put up the banner of -- one game -- Very good one I knew there was a reason you're here -- you.
-- -- That's exactly -- is seen as an alien.
Alienate athlete getting that in his hair and he's not gonna win the election -- all this president cares about is getting reelected he doesn't care about the poor -- no actual.
Now now now this pregnancy to a hard time trying to raise money then it's five predecessors combined -- all of -- About in my not so -- wife -- in Switzerland you raise money to I'm and I know he can -- -- the.
To come on how my eyes and saw this already so once again why didn't dull.
Now think about it this way.
The -- buddy Joseph Biden he alienates all the African Americans who oppose gay marriage all Hispanics.
Still Biden you gotta just you gotta just take them off the trail lock them in place.
I don't think he alienated anybody know basically Edwards -- a president that's the policy everybody is used to.
I don't know why no heartbeat away from the office.
And it -- I got a problem.
Remember you also got a factor in here.
Bill as compared to what I remember Rodney is is said that he will support a ban on gay marriage and he's also against -- that -- eight on foreign policy you -- apparently because the pressure coming from.
Hard right I -- Rodney -- Romney's pitch gonna run on traditional he's not yeah involved with this so.
Yeah -- -- don't get it why why -- other than everybody knows Romney's position especially in the gate and I.
How we got on to Romney is a -- -- you didn't like it never gonna -- -- and as a way it is it's Biden who screwed up yeah eighty or maybe I could see debate thank you Michelle filling and we appreciate -- --

Leona Helmsley's Dunnellen Hall Sells For $35 Million
Filed under: Estates
In August we learned that Leona Helmsley's former home, Dunnellen Hall in Greenwich, Connecticut might finally be sold. Now the Greenwich Time gives us a sold price and it's even lower than had been anticipated. This home hit the market in 2008 for $125 million. Price cut after price cut followed until it hit $60 million. The Greenwich Time says that the home has been sold for $35 million, a full $90 million discount. The buyer is listed as a trustee, Cynthia L. Smith of the Greenwich law firm Whitman, Breed, Abbott & Morgan LLP. Jane Basham of David Ogilvy & Associates was the selling agent.
The traditional brick mansion is approximately 23,0000 square feet with seven upstairs bedroom suites, a glass-walled music room, a wood- paneled library with a 15th century fireplace mantel, formal dining room, family room with a bar and much more. The back wing is home to the staff area which has six bedrooms. The indoor pool has four exposures and includes areas for sitting and changing. There is also a 75-foot outdoor pool with a terrace and a cabana with a kitchen. There are also brick cottages with an additional six bedrooms total. The Helmsleys bought Dunnellen Hall in 1983 for $9 million (paying an extra $2 million for the furniture) and later picked up another 14 acres bringing the total to 40 acres. We've heard from those who have visited the home that it is in a state of disrepair and will cost millions to fix. The sale will be a boon for the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust, which supports health care and medical research.
The home is just the latest in Greenwich in a year that has seen Tommy Hilfiger pick up a new home for $31.375 million and Mel Gibson's Old Mill Farm sell for almost $24 million. The top of the market is now the Point of View estate listed at $42 million.

Furry stuff, oekaki stuff, and other stuff.
You are not logged in.
Hmm, it's true, it could be used to send spam to one person -- the admin, but then again, the admin's address is not that hard to get from the board anyway, even for non-members.
For spammers, it's all about getting the maximum "eyeballs" with the least effort. To have to fit their message into (e.g.) 128 characters, and know that it's only going to go to one person isn't going to appeal to them much. I have a contact form on my personal web page, and though I've gotten a FEW advertising solicitations, they've all been correctly targetted (in other words, they came from art magazines and galleries, not v!@gra peddlers) Automatic registrations are a MUCH bigger concern for spam, which is why I don't allow them.
Of course, all that's moot since, as I mentioned in another message, nothing Email related is working for me from WP anyway.
Then again, I wasn't even talking about emails or PMs -- Just one more field for entering a bit of "why I want to join" text that would show up on the registration request page that is THROWN AWAY after registration, rather than being attached to somebody for the duration. That's all. It doesn't have to be mailed, sent, stamped, or transferred in any way. It just needs to show up once. Like a Yahoo group, where, when joining is moderated, a text box shows up that asks for "why you want to join this group." That does a lot to weed out the spammers and slackers, too. Anybody for whom it's too much effort to give me even three words about why they want to join (e.g. "I like this."), it's too much effort for me to click "accept."
I've considered allowing this on my oekaki board, but I really didn't want to deal with spamming (briefly considering restricting pending members to pming admins only, but that seemed like a hoop I didn't want to jump through). Providing an admin e-mail address for the pending members to contact if they have questions or comments seems reasonable enough to me.
I could reconfigure the board so people who have pending memberships can send mailbox messages. This can be tricky since spam may be a problem if anyone can send mailbox messages.
Any other opinions on this?
Something that would be helpful is if someone subscribing to the board could write a brief note of explanation to the admin. I'm a mean bastard, and I make people actually talk to me before I give them something. Such an ogre!
Right now, the only note they can write is pretty much permanently attached to them, so it doesn't make sense to use that for a subscription request (it seems more like it's intended to describe them after they join). After all, the admin gets to write a note TO them explaining why they were accepted or denied. Isn't it fair that the person subscribing should have the same ability? I don't see any security risk to this, and it should be practically a cut'n'paste coding job, since the code is already there for the admin to send a throwaway message. (Okay, then there's the code that lets the admin SEE the throwaway message, but you get my drift).

Platinum Plating: Platinum can be used as a finish coating over sterling silver or copper alloys. Its bright, pure luster enhances the brilliance of gemstones and does not discolor or oxidize. Platinum plating is also characterized by its good resistance to surface abrasion, making jewelry pieces more durable against everyday and long-term wear. Over time, platinum plating will wear off and therefore will require re-plating.

text: Getting really tired of debating these conservatives. But I love the way they can contradict themselves. For example, Pale Rider, who is an absolute anti abortion is giving out lectures on how everyone has an inalienable right to life etc etc, yet in one of the politics threads he talks of coating bullets with pigs blood used against Muslim resistance fighters et al. Where is his sense of preserving life there?

Today's browsers are capable of doing tasks that were impossible only a few years ago. Development of HTML5 created the revolution, empowering current web browsers in desktops, tablets, and smartphones to become equally capable of handling websites and business-critical applications.
Indeed, employees can do most office work using web apps instead of standalone software.
Developers like Microsoft, Google, and Salesforce.com hope to transition clients to web-based features such as email management, document- and file-sharing, task and calendar management, and videoconferencing, through their rich HTML features like drag and drop, and advanced web GUI dashboards that make the user experience easier and more productive.
For example, Google+ Hangouts allows up to 10 people to simultaneously communicate in a videoconference. This can reduce travel costs, and participants can even simultaneously edit a document in real time using a web browser from any device, further underscoring the power of modern web apps.
Some projects, such as Apaches Open Office, will become one of the web app-based solutions that may one day compete with products like Microsoft Office 365 in the software-as-a-service (SaaS) arena. Cloud-based solutions typically have web-based, end-user interfaces that enable service anywhere by using the web browser on any device, at any time. As a result, it's the platform-independent solution of today -- and the future.
Which web apps are important to your business today? What would you like developers to create in order to make your business even more productive and profitable, and your IT department even more efficient?
— Raj Kumar is an independent industry analyst and IT professional in the Coimbatore area of India.

It appears to be the de facto standard, though, until developers get another alternative to coding for each separate platform. You're right though, Usman, it's not perfect.
The problem with HTML 5 is it's not been standardised which makes it difficult to optimise for all the browsers and compatibility with older systems. Otherwise it's great especially for smartphones.
I know it's faced criticism because it's difficult to write code with and has debugging inadequacies, as well as inconsistent support for audio file formats. But because it's an open standard and has a lot of backers like Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, Intel, and Amazon, isn't it going to be the de facto standard? Developers are working to make it run on multicore processors, which will make web apps run faster. I think, then, that despite its imperfection and challenges today, HTML5 will eventually rule the market. But it won't happen overnight... these things never do!
it's not just about the internet access. Not all browsers supports HTML5 equally and not all web apps run perfectly on each browser. A few days back Google maps stopped working on Windowsphone 8 browser.
@Michael you make a good point. is there a viable alternative model?
You are creating a bottleneck. Everything is predicating on internet access and that your pipe leading to the internet is working correctly. I'm finding clients are not comfortable with that at all, once they take a hard look at how many people would be sitting twiddling their thumbs if when that happened.

This is part of the left´s push to punish gun users, idea being to make gun owners responsible for crimes committed by people who steal their guns. Very progressive.
Unreal. Chicago doubles-down on stupid. I can see the verklempt, theft-victim gang-bangers lining up already to report their piece stolen...Rahm and Obama haven´t got a functional brain cell between ´em.
Everyone I know that lived in Chicago now lives in Florida, Kentucky, Indiana or some other free state. Vote with your feet and move south.
Since guns are (supposedly) illegal in Cooj County, wouldn´t you be gyiltyof self-incrimination by claiming yours was stolen? After all, simply by making the report you admit to owning an illegal firearm.And isn´t Preckwinkle the same one that wanted to add a tax to ammo to help pay for shooting victims?To paraphrase an old joke, "she not only don´t know anything, she don´t even suspect anything..."
Good luck enforcing that one. These leftists are brain dead but continue to stuff their hands further into the cookie jar hoping to grab whatever crumbs we let them have.
Perfect! Blame the legal owner crime victims! Why don´t they enforce the laws instead of allowing 93% of gun killers to walk or get probation?Chicagoans should demand mandatory sentencing... gun criminals should get 10 yrs for 1st offense gun use, life for 2nd.
They can report them stolen...but cops won´t come to investigate burglaries, since it´s a time-waster.You can´t make this stuff up.
Lost them all, went down when my boat flipped.
Just another reason to leave Cook Co. if you already haven´t....Morons, imbeciles, wankers, liberals.....all the samey samey....

Abstract: Since the early days of catalogues, the structure and interface of library tools used for accessing the resources are changing rapidly and dramatically to fulfil the changing user needs. In recent years, the behaviour of library users has been undergoing drastic changes due to increasingly use of web search engines and ICT based services. This paper describes the expectations of such users who are looking for information. It presents an optimized approach that enables academic libraries to provide its patrons with an up-to-date user experience while capitalizing on the unique advantages offered by libraries. Ways of integrating the new solution with the current library environment including features and functionalities of next generation catalogues are discussed URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1684 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This paper presents the idea of Web 2.0, represents a significant paradigm shift in the way we view library services. It's about a seamless user experience, where usability, interoperability, and flexibility of library systems are key features to future prospects. The library can build community (both online and physical), via using web 2.0 technologies (instant messaging, screen casting, blogs, wikis, etc.). It allows user participation through writing reviews and tagging in the catalog and making their opinion heard through blogs and wikis. It makes the library more transparent through its Web presence and its physical design. We need to make the library human, ubiquitous, and user-centered. This involves a change in our systems, our Web presence, and our very attitudes. It will take a lot of work for a library to be completely Web 2.0 based environment URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1275 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: LIS schools today face a greater challenge in updating their curriculum to accommodate the new technological innovations, necessitated by the market demands. Web 2.0 applications have not only transformed the nature of scholarly communication but is constantly reshaping the ways in which users search, find, access and utilize the information with the help of tools facilitated by open source software and user friendly web programming languages including AJAX. This preliminary survey shows how well the latest technologies are getting embedded into daily library services for the benefit of users and the feasibility of their coverage in LIS curriculum, with reference to Mumbai libraries. Practicing librarians are struggling everyday to keep themselves up-to-date with new Web 2.0 resources and utilities, to implement the same in their personal and professional work domains and hence expect the fresh graduates to be skilled with requisite technical competency to meet the challenges of the growing market demands. As for the LIS schools, bridging the gap between traditional librarianship and modern technologies will forever be a challenging issue. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1056 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to assess the web-based information retrieval pattern of the students of Calicut Medical College, Kerala. Structured questionnaires were employed to collect data from a representative sample of 100 MBBS students. The study found that a majority of the students often use the web for communication and to get general information and recent advances in Medicine. A good number of the students use web-mail and social networking sites very frequently. All the students use simple search methods for accessing the web. Google is the most preferred search engine followed by Yahoo. Only a very few of the students use e-journals and databases. Lack of training/orientation, lack of computer infrastructure, lack of fulltext e-journals and low Internet backbone speed are the major reasons of underutilization of web-based information resources. The findings of this study would assist medical institutions in India to develop strategies and policies that could make better use of web-based information resources for medical education and research.

Open nature of Internet served as platform for people to share/ publish their ideas. This condition led to the chaotic state of web. The main reason behind it was the unorganized heap of information in the form of web documents. So, the need of the hour is cataloguing the web, thereby providing appropriate surrogate to locate the relevant piece of information.

chaco culture national historical park
Chaco Canyon was an important Anasazi (ancient Native American) cultural center from about 900 through 1130 AD. About 30 ancient masonry buildings, containing hundreds of rooms each, attest to Chaco's importance. Some structures are thought to serve as astronomical observatories or calendars. Archaeologists discovered jewelry made from Mexican and Californian materials in ancient trash heaps. Large well-constructed roadways thought to be built for pilgrims, subjects, or traders, lead from sites 50 miles away to the center of Chaco Canyon. In a very real sense, all roads lead to Chaco.
These cultural assets are now preserved in the Chaco Culture National Historical Park, administered by the National Park Service. Chaco is located in the northwest quadrant of New Mexico, surrounded by Navajo and near Zuni and Hopi reservations.
While we appreciate most US National Parks for their present beauty, we appreciate Chaco for its past. It is an environmentally harsh place: hot and dry in the summer, cold and dry in the winter--nearly a desert. Though there is substantial evidence that the Anasazi farmed here, they had to use many dry farming techniques to support themselves. In fact, some archaeologists question whether Chaco Canyon supported itself, or whether outside farming sites sent supplemental food.
There is no written record of the Chacoans. Most of what we know about them relies on inference and circumstantial evidence. Almost everything about Chaco is shrouded in mystery: its structures are huge and its former importance is clear, but we know little about it. Archaeology and speculation rule here. Chaco is a park for the mind.
Chaco Culture National Historic Park is listed by the World Heritage Committee of the United Nations as a property "forming part of the cultural heritage and natural heritage..." |
• | Where the Moon Stood Still, And the Ancients Watched (New York Times, 29 September 2006) |
"The great Chaco civilization, trading partner of the Maya, established a far-reaching sphere of influence in the North American desert a millennium ago. Among the most remote and mysterious of their outposts was Chimney Rock, in what is now the very southwest corner of Colorado, 90 miles from Chaco Canyon in New Mexico, the center of the culture. Visitors can watch the lunar standstill from a fire watchtower. Why did the Chaco people — the Anasazi, or "ancestral Puebloans," as their descendants prefer — build an enormous ceremonial Great House at Chimney Rock, so far from home, 1,000 feet above the nearest water supply and at the base of immense sandstone spires? It was not until two decades ago that archaeologists arrived at an explanation that most now accept: the Chaco people built the Great House as a lunar observatory precisely aligned to a celestial event that occurs just once in a generation."

text: Home Culture Turkey Fry Gone Awry Want a deep-fried turkey for the holidays? Be afraid. Be very afraid. Grease + propane + bird on a wire = disaster waiting to happen. By: Saaret E. Yoseph Posted: Nov. 23 2009 6:05 AM 0 Getty Images Martha Stewart, Emeril Lagasse, the Food Network and countless Turkey Day connoisseurs swear by succulent deep-fried fowl. Apparently, the old-school roasted bird has become passé. So if you want to go down the deep-fried route this Thanksgiving, all you need is the bird, a propane burner, a vat of peanut oil and a little patience. Not to mention a fireproof outfit. Learning "How to Make a Deep-Fried Turkey" may seem simple enough, but don't be fooled, there are many ways your fry can go awry. Before you gas up the propane, take a few turkey-handling tips from The Root or else Tom Turkey will be on fiyah—literally. 1. GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN The first rule of thumb for frying turkey on Thanksgiving is going outdoors with your recipe of choice. A fricasseed bird can be mighty hard to clean up after. There is such a thing as showing too much skin, especially when it comes to frying a turkey. Don't get too close to the pot of oil with clothes that expose your arms … or even your toes. That is, unless you want to be nursing wounds when it's time to eat. If Tom Turkey is wet when he takes his oil bath, you can count on feeling the heat, too. Turkeys are typically fried at about 400 degrees. Do you really want to go down with your dinner? Using too much oil or too small of a pot can cause problems during the cooking process. Turkey size should be proportional to the vat used for deep frying. Bigger isn't better—it can just be trouble. So always be prepared: Forget stop, drop and roll. Stop, drop and run!

Huffington Post (09-17-13)--... Forty-five percent of Americans lack basic economic security, or the ability to pay for necessities like housing, utilities, food, health care, child care and transportation, according to a report released Monday by the nonprofit Wider Opportunities for Women. ...
"Record income inequality and a growing economic gap is making it harder and harder for women and families to get by in this economy, let alone ever get ahead," Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) said.
"It is time to change America's workplace policies, and empower women with tools and opportunities to earn their way ahead in the economy, achieve economic security, and get families back on stable ground. That's the key to a growing economy and a thriving middle class in America."
WASHINGTON, DC (09-17-13) – While the federal government debates budget priorities and workers across the country protest low wages, a new report reveals that the nation's "economic insecurity rate" is 45%—three times the 2012 poverty rate of 15% announced today by the US Census Bureau. The new report, published by Wider Opportunities for Women (WOW), defines economic insecurity as the inability to afford basic needs such as decent housing, basic transportation and food, and finds millions of families are insecure even when household breadwinners are working full time.
According to the report, Living Below the Line: Economic Insecurity and America's Families, while the poverty rate increased sharply in 2008 and has since remained largely unchanged, the overall insecurity rate has steadily increased, by seven percentage points ... .

Across their lifespan, women, their families and elders deserve to be able to meet basic expenses and reach and maintain economic security. Through advocacy, research and training, WOW provides solutions that help Americans become economically secure.
Spotlight on Poverty and Opportunity (09-03-13)--Four years after the end of the Great Recession,working families continue to struggle against stagnant incomes, high long-term unemployment, the growth of low-wage jobs, and misguided cuts to safety net programs. Our uneven economic recovery underlines the need for public policies that address these crises, and, due to gridlock and obstructionism in Congress, state governments represent the best opportunity to make needed policy changes....
To better inform the decisions of state lawmakers and advance policies that build economic security, Wider Opportunities for Women (WOW) recently released the Economic Security Scorecard, a national report card that grades states on how well their policies promote the financial well-being of low- and moderate-income households. The scorecard looks at state policy choices that comprise the five basic elements of economic security: income, job quality, education and training, public supports, and savings and assets. ...

Pitches 1 and 2 are a combined 320 ft. 3) Traverse right under the roof directly above the belay and climb up an overhanging corner system to get established on the slightly less than vertical wall above. Head right into the prominant chimney system and follow that until you are below a fantastic looking finger and hand crack that breaks off to the left of the chimney system. 5.10 130ft. 4) Follow the finger and hand crack for 80ft or so, traversing right at the top of a pegmatite band into a steep chimney system. Follow this over an overhang and belay. 5.11+/12- 100ft. 5) Continue up the chimney system to the top of the wall. 5.8 50ft.
It starts 40 or so feet left of the start of Dog Fight, below a fairly prominant right facing corner system.
We took nuts, a double set of cams to #3 camalot and singles of #4 and #5. That worked well.
Here is my take on the route. This route is all about the crux fourth pitch. All the mediocre climbing up to there is worth the last 100 feet of climbing. Also, beware of a very large, loose block about 80 feet up the third pitch. It is sitting on the right side of the large corner. We forgot to trundle it. Sorry. A bit about the crux pitch. The rock changes from the pink granite to a pretty gray. The pitch follows a series of discontinuous, splitter cracks that undulates between fingers and hands up a steep head wall until you reach a pegmatite band. The crack pinches off and you are forced to lie back off a slopey offset feature and make a few face moves to reach more cracks. The wall kicks back even more but luckily some huge feet appear. Move right and makes a few balancy arete moves until you can escape into the large chimney. Juggy moves and a steep hand crack lead over a roof to an easy and well protected chimney. This is a 3 star pitch and will only get better as it cleans up. Airy and adventurous climbing with great gear. A harder variation may be possible. Instead of escaping into the chimney, keep going up the steep crack. This may require a few bolts to make it safe. Looks steep and wild!

With spring classes now in full swing, the first of a multi-phase renovation of the architecture studio space is providing MAPP students with a more flexible work environment. Aerial electrical distribution has been installed in the studio under the MAPP library, allowing students to access power from virtually any part of the room through overhanging tracks. New workspaces have also been added to the studio space; the new desks have a large flat sheet drawer, adjustable desk height for greater accessibility, space for a laptop and a series of lockable drawers. They are also wheel-mounted, allowing for easy reconfiguration of the space to meet the needs of students and faculty.
The full renovation, which is expected to take a year to complete, was orchestrated by Dean David Cronrath to create a more equipped, well-lit and productive work/study environment. A committee of faculty and students have consulted and contributed to the renovation planning from the get-go, undertaking tasks like test-driving new studio desks, researching flexible power distribution options and embarking on site visits to area design firms to see what's working for today's top architects.
The next phase of the renovation will take place this summer in the building's "great space;" this will include a substantial upgrade of the studio's lighting system and a new collaborative digital work environment. Aerial power distribution will also be installed in time for fall classes.
"The goal is to provide our students with the tools they need to work creatively and successfully during their time at Maryland," says Dean Cronrath. "Our space should match the outstanding instruction and unique interdisciplinary opportunities we offer, like the Solar Decathlon and ULI competitions. This renovation is a step in the right direction."
The School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation at the University of Maryland is home to four academic disciplines: architecture, urban planning, historic preservation and real estate development. Committed to educating its students and community about the importance of sustainability and smart growth, the School practices an interdisciplinary approach to education, research, creative work, and community and professional service.

Plain English campaign news articles
Double 30th birthday celebrations
- Details
- Created on Monday, 27 July 2009 01:00
July brings double celebrations, with 30 years passing since both the birth of European elections and the start of Plain English Campaign's fight against jargon and gobbledygook.
Did jargon cause the 'Credit Crunch'?
- Details
- Created on Wednesday, 08 July 2009 13:23
Many of us will have watched the recent Channel 4 documentary on 'Dispatches – How the banks went bust' with feelings of helplessness, disbelief and frustration.
The comments made by the financial experts contributing to the programme were like Plain English Campaign's predictions over the past 30 years. But there was little satisfaction for us in knowing that language had been exploited and misused to such an extent as to contribute to the economic disaster being felt on a worldwide scale.
As individuals, we fight to varying degrees with the daily jargon and gobbledygook in our mail, our workplaces, even our entertainment. As a civilisation built on sophisticated commerce and communications, we believe the experts, in whatever field, know what they are doing. Whether we like it or even agree with it, the leadership from our government, the judgement of the finance industry, and the discoveries of our medical providers have all been accepted and trusted by the public. For the most part, we, the public, believe what we are told – whether we understand it or not – and we place our trust in the leaders and experts who have achieved their positions because at least they do understand. Or perhaps they don't?
This extract from the book 'Cityboy – Beer and Loathing in the Square Mile' by Geraint Anderson, is a real-life demonstration of the extent to which language is used to control people, power and politics.
"… At one point I overheard this clearly intimidated individual make the terrible mistake of asking Hugo 'What exactly is it that you do?
' Hugo leaned back in his chair with an ever-widening smug smile on his face and proceeded to begin a five-minute spiel, braying loudly and loving the sound of his own voice. I listened to his explanation and hardly understood what he said myself – and even at that stage, I had a vague idea what it was we did. Instead of saying quite simply that we analyse companies and explain to investors whether we believe the company's shares are going to go up or down, he went into a long convoluted load of nonsense using every conceivable specialist terminology possible. His little speech went something like this:
'Enterprise value blah, blah, blah, return on equity etc, etc, etc, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation … economic value added … cash flow, return on investment and so forth'..."
Geraint Anderson, author of the book 'Cityboy - Beer and Loathing in the Square Mile'
This whole experience made me reflect on how we in the City use arcane language and peculiar terminology to confuse those who don't earn as much as us (i.e. pretty much everyone). It makes us sound like we're doing something extraordinarily complicated and technically unfathomable and keeps our potential detractors in the dark. We are a much harder target if the 'common man' feels intimidated by our complex world and doesn't even understand what we do. We push around bits of paper. That's what we do. That's all we do."
Geraint is a strong supporter of clear communications. He was one of the UK's top four brokers before his revelations about the 'financial philanderings' saw him wave goodbye to the Square Mile.
Jon Moulton of Alchemy Partners, another highly respected financial figure, contributed this comment to the documentary.
"Much of the structured finance world was actually home-grown here. UK banks got involved with things they couldn't measure, couldn't control, didn't understand. Some got into very sexy, almost incomprehensible contracts. Synthetic mezzanine CLO squareds? Not sure I know what it is either but I promise you that some of the banks have them."
Jon Moulton, whose opinions show signs of him being a Plain English Campaigner, goes on to tell how he was asked to explain 'CLOs' at an emergency meeting at the Bank of England when the vulnerability and complexity of the risk management system could no longer be denied.
"…trying to explain CLOs to some very senior people at the Bank of England. Using the back of a menu to actually explain it to them."
CLOs or CDOs were the 'magic' investment products created by the finance gurus. These collateralised loan obligations or debt obligations, formed the basis for the credit debt pyramid that grew into the volcano of recession. Here is the high-level thinking for CDOs.
"Basically, the pricing of a synthetic CDO tranche that takes losses from K1 to K2 (with 0 _ K1 < K2 _ 1) of the reference portfolio works in the same way as the pricing of a 3 credit default swap. Let's assume that 0 <= t0 < ... < tn"1 (1)denote the spread". ( The Normal Inverse Gaussian Distribution for Synthetic CDO Pricing - Anna Kalemanova Bernd Schmid Ralf Werner.)
We accept this is the specialist terminology for a particular group of expertise. But at some point that shorthand needs to translate into a language that can be communicated and understood by brokers, investors and the rest of the financiers.
Neil Smith, the Chief Investment officer at Corham Capital explained:
"Simple fact is that things had become so complicated that only those people directly involved with the creation of these products knew what they were. CDO guys had every sales trick in the book. I mean it was the classic salesman techniques. If they hadn't been selling CDOs they would have been selling second-hand cars. Their whole strategy was to make people feel silly if they didn't understand the product. Everybody I came into contact with wanted to be invested in this market because it was deemed to be no risk – not low risk, but NO risk!"
Neil Smith describes Corham Capital as 'an investment firm focusing on corporate-finance advice and alternative investment management'.
That's three financiers talking plain English on one page. In our interview Neil added: "I do hate the kind of linguistic crucifixion that is rife in the financial services industry so I applaud the campaign."
Neil Smith, the Chief Investment Officer at Corham Capital.
Well, the campaign applauds you for speaking out, Neil. It is the blind faith in the words of others, fuelled by egos, greed and the delusions of success that has led to the global trillions of debt. This is how the credit crunch looks to us:
CDOs + poor communications + unscrupulous intentions = £601.9 billion = UK debt
The World Debt Clock in New York is to have two additional digits added to allow the clock to track debt up to a quadrillion. It sounds more like 'Alice in Wonderland' every day.
We are not pretending that a plain English definition of CDOs would have saved us from recession. Complex information, instruction, processes or legislation is created gradually, so it can be dissected. In doing that, the structure is better understood and communicated. This is the plain English attempt for defining what is at the heart of CDOs - let us know what you think.
Collateralised debt, obligations (CDOs) are commitments to repay debts which are secured on assets.
And here is our glossary to explain the words within the name.
- Collateralise: to pledge assets as security for a debt, such as a loan.
- Debt: money owed by a person or organisation to some other person or organisation.
- Obligation: a commitment to repay a debt.
Using jargon and gobbledygook is a perfect smokescreen for a lack of knowledge, unclear thinking and defective information. The resulting ambiguity and confusion provides a breeding ground for lies, exaggerations, misinterpretations and a convenient hiding place for trouble.
The reputations of CDOs have been tarnished by those bankers who in their ignorance of the products or their desire to exploit the 'golden egg', created a mixed bag of good and bad products. The result was complicated and confused thinking.
The bankers are under the spotlight now, but there is no part of private – or public – sector activity that is not affected by unclear communications.
Black holes, climate change, polar melts – these are disasters over which our society has relatively little control. Being gobbled up by our own gobbledygook is something everyone can act upon today and everyday.

Plain English Campaign tells all governments to speak the language of the people
- Details
- Created on Monday, 15 June 2009 15:59
Repeated criticisms have been made by some MPs and the public, about the need for clearer communications from the Prime Minister. Plain English Campaign is responding to the call for our leaders to speak the language of the people. As part of it's 30-year fight against jargon and gobbledygook, the Campaign is offering free plain English training courses to every MP and minister throughout the UK.
There are over 700 representatives of our nation in the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The documented MPs' discussions in Hansard's parliamentary reporting shows how frequently concerns are raised about jargon and bad communication. It is unsurprising then that these frustrations and confusion are multiplied by the time information reaches the public.
Chrissie Maher OBE, founder of the Derbyshire based Campaign says, "The word 'gobbledygook' comes from descriptions of government communications. The end of turkey talk is long overdue. Give us plain English. It's clear, it's honest, it's what our government and our nation need right now."
In 1983, as part of the Rayner Review, the Thatcher government reviewed hundreds of thousands of government documents. In 2009, efforts continue with two public inquiries about the state of public communications from Parliament and government offices. But it is time to take action from the very top. Once again, the Campaign recommends plain English training in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
The Duke of Devonshire, also Chancellor to the University of Derby, spoke from his home at Chatsworth in Derbyshire to say, "We have an individual and moral responsibility to communicate clearly whatever our business. It's never too late to remember the basics of good, clear English, its part of our heritage."
Peter Gallimore, spokesperson for the University of Derby added, "Plain English training sessions are being launched at the University this year for MPs, businesses, or anyone wanting to communicate clearly. It's a great start to the plans for the University to work with Plain English Campaign."
Clarity commitment in US loses small print

Plain English Campaign sent a letter of support to the US President. We await the reactions of Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and Mervyn King, Governor of the Bank of England, to the idea that plain English could bring clarity and honesty to the financial gobbledygook, whyich causes so many problems.
There are organisations in the UK's finance sector who independently provide 'plain English' communications to the public. But there is currently no legislation that imposes shared guidelines for clear communications. People's mistrust of legal language and small print is a complaint we often hear at our offices.
Harriet Harman's Equalities Bill was recently released with plain English explanatory notes to accompany the legal wording. It is a step in the right direction for the UK Government and Parliament. But no organisation, whether in the public or private sector, can afford to ignore any opportunity to renew the public's faith in the communications of our leaders and experts. Legislation and small print exist to protect everyone involved. It makes plain sense to use plain language that can be plainly understood and trusted.
Chrissie Maher, founder of Plain English Campaign, says, "Everyone has the right to understand information they are given. Whether it's about understanding the terms of your expense claims, mortgage terms or credit agreements, plain English can save embarrassment, time, despair and money. So bring on the plain English in the UK – it is our language after all."

We are a small startup, just released a MVP and are now in the promotion phase.
As part of the promotion we are seeking to get the message out by writing articles on other (related) sites etc.
There is a relatively well established player in our sector (with VC backing from ebay amongst others). Our product is better than theirs (no, really), but I am wondering if we should post articles etc with back links to our site there. Our "fear" being that they can (with all the resources they have), "rip off our website" and add in all the features which make our website better than them.
So, in a nutshell, their website provides us with the sort of target audience we are looking for - BUT, if we go in there, we may incur the wrath of a potential competitor who has far more resources at their disposal than we can imagine having - so, what to do?
Do we dare go into the dragon's lair or 'skirt around' in the shadows and avoid them all together?


text: Based on a play by Terence Rattigan, The Nelson Affair recounts an infamous 18th century British scandal in slow-paced, talk-heavy fashion. Lord Nelson (Peter Finch) returns from battling Napoleon's navy and takes some well-deserved leave. He immediately picks up where he left off with Lady Hamilton (Glenda Jackson), blatantly carrying on their affair in public view of his family and beleagured wife (Margaret Leighton). Hamilton herself is under strain due to her advancing age and Nelson's unflagging need to return to sea. The picture plays more like a filmed theater piece than an epic historical romance (the famous Battle Of Trafalgar was filmed indoors and utilized stock footage), but Finch and Jackson turn in their usual excellent performances. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

The development and enforcement of Social Media Policies can be a controversial issue.
