Quote Unquote: Gay Marriage in New York
Republican New York State Sen. Roy McDonald on his decision to support a marriage equality bill being considered by the legislative body for which he works…
"You get to the point where you evolve in your life where everything isn't black and white, good and bad, and you try to do the right thing. You might not like that. You might be very cynical about that. Well, fuck it, I don't care what you think. I'm trying to do the right thing. I'm tired of Republican-Democrat politics. They can take the job and shove it. I come from a blue-collar background. I'm trying to do the right thing, and that's where I'm going with this."
This guy's become a real Internet sensation over the past couple days for his controversial position that human beings should be treated like human beings. Good for him!
Though, I can't help but notice that he used the world "evolve" in there. I think that means he's a covert liberal.

The One Man MMO Project

I've never been happy with the look of the in-game map. This week it occurred to me that maybe a topographical map would be a more in the theme of the game and a military-strategy-friendly way to go.
The Miranda map is made with WorldMachine. A little Googling led me to discover that WorldMachine can generate topographical maps of the terrain it renders. This seemed a whole lot easier than writing a topographical map generator into the world importer I wrote for Miranda, so off I went.
I brought the image into Gimp, inverted it (since the terrain in WorldMachine is flipped on the Y axis in Miranda) and got this:
Originally I looked at old maps and experimented with using a tea-stained paper background, but that didn't really go with the hi-tech nature of a future spacefaring society, so I used Google image search to search for "cool topological map" and found this neat old source of inspiration (12MB).
Next I took the image from WorldMachine, added a transparent layer, then used Gimp's select color to delete the black, then select color again and bucket fill with "Fill Whole Selection" checked, to change the white to blue. I pieced together a background and cleaned it up with the stamp tool and a soft brush, then I added a grid with Filters|Render|Pattern|Grid. Then I added a legend, making up some lore-consistent details, and the final map looks like this:
[The full 2048x2048 image is 5M so it will take a while to download if you click it.]
The map covers the entire 20x20km test area I'm currently running.

I was looking at Twitter today and realized I haven't posted anything about The Imperial Realm :: Miranda since the beginning of May. Still here! Working hard. Well except last week.
Since around March I've been working pretty consistently on the trailer for the game. I worked out a script, did the voiceover recording, put together a roughcut using beautiful hand-drawn storyboards like the one below, hunted down some music, and started showing it to people looking for feedback. Since then I've been building all the features into the game that I wanted to show in the trailer. This is not going to be a prerendered scandal like Crysis 2's trailer, I'm using almost 100% in-game graphics.

I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice.
If you want to contact press (or anybody) that you don't have an existing relationship with about your game, you have until July 1. Canada's new anti-spam law will come into effect on that date and the implications for anyone with a commercial message are huge.

Did this screenshot a while back for a magazine but it didn't end up being used. The game looks a lot different now but I really like this shot so I thought I'd share it. I'll be showing off the new look in the Reveal Trailer in a few short weeks.
The Imperial Realm :: Miranda - In Search of Prey
"In Search of Prey" gives a hint of the scope of Miranda's single 90,000 square kilometre environment. Anything in the screenshot can be driven to without any loading screens. The area they are searching is known as The Wasteland and it is the most inhospitable part of Miranda. The only life there are a few hardy insects and some curious flowers.

If you're not happy with the quality of your screen capture, just write out the frames as bitmaps then put them together after with a video tool.
Half day coding this up, tried it, crashed, then I did the math. 30FPS * 1920 * 1080 * 3 bytes per pixel = 178MB/s. That's a lot more than the 40MB/s my disk drive can do. Tried a few different things. The best I could do is about 15 seconds of video using PNG with fastest compression and 512K chunk disk writes before it runs out of memory and crashes.
Oh well, at least the game can take its own screenshots now. And I have a shiny new "crash the game" button.
Looks like libavcodec is the way to go with this.

"I've seen [formations] done really well ... but the guy did spend something like 4 to 6 months on a 2d grid working on just that problem all by itself. And he had done it before." - TheMartian
The one thing you really need to nail with an RTS is unit movement. Unit movement has a surprising number of elements that all have to come together brilliantly to produce smart looking unit behaviour on the screen:
This screenshot shows Miranda's new unit movement systems in action. I still have some work to do on collision resolution, but it is already looking pretty sweet. First, you will notice that the tanks are moving in a square formation. There are some units that are out of position because they've just gone around those buildings (you can tell from the dust trails,) but they'll all eventually get back into a neat grid layout. In the bottom left corner is the formations flyout menu ready to select one of the available formations. Once one is selected, the menu shrinks to display just the selected formation.

I'm feeling a bit snarky this weekend since I haven't been able to try The Elder Scrolls(R) Online beta. The up-side is that I've learned a whole bunch of things about how to run an MMO Beta program that will be really helpful for Miranda.
After all the time I spent playing Skyrim, I was really excited when I saw PC Gamer was giving away beta keys on Thursday, so I hurried over, signed up for a PC Gamer account and lucky, lucky -- I got a key in the email a few minutes later. Hooray!

For whatever reason, Ctrl-Tab in Visual Studio 2010 has been broken for a long time. You have to press Enter to select the new window to switch to it. For ages I hunted for a solution to this problem, enduring the frustration of an extra keystroke but no longer. The problem seems to involve Magnifier, but Magnifier isn't really the problem. I've read "solutions" that involve completely removing Magnifier (doesn't work.) But here is the solution I've gone with (since the problem comes back after every reboot.)

I had need of a good spatial searching data structure. I found a pseudocode example for a quadtree on Wikipedia although it had a few key parts missing which is sort of inconvenient, so I've filled those out and decided to post the full C++ template code here.
This is a leafless quadtree as opposed to a quadtree which has both internal (points to children) and leaf (contain all data) nodes. I'm not yet sure what the performance implications are of the two types other than that the leafless quadtree is going to do more data comparisons than the traditional quadtree during deletion.
This is still somewhat a work in progress and there are some things I'm not entirely happy with. For example, Move could be made faster by avoiding a second search if QuickMove fails. Also see the comments above the Combine method. That said, I've run unit tests against this and can't find any more bugs in it.
The only code missing from here is my vector template used by Query. You can replace that easily enough with an STL vector or the equivalent.
If you are here looking for answers to your homework - go figure it out on your own!

Brightstar Corp.'s shining success illustrates how a driven entrepreneur's startup can grow quickly and exponentially, becoming a dominant global player in a sharply competitive industry.
R. Marcelo Claure launched Brightstar in 1997, distributing cell phones to Latin America out of a nondescript warehouse. By 2002, the Miami-based company had become the largest independent distributor of cell phones in Latin America.
Now, Brightstar is the world's largest wireless phone distribution and supply chain solutions company. And with Mr. Claure at its helm as president and CEO, it's aggressively expanding into North America, Asia, Australia, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. It distributes in 49 countries, but that number may increase to as many as 65 in the next five years, Mr. Claure says.
The CEO's dedication to quality service and aggressive growth has produced annual revenue increases of more than 50 percent for nine consecutive years. In 2006, Brightstar posted revenues of $3.6 billion, earning the No. 1 spot on this year's Hispanic Business 500®. The company's 2007 revenues will likely grow by another billion dollars and its five-year plan calls for $10 billion in revenues, Mr. Claure says.
The 36-year-old son of a Bolivian diplomat has succeeded with the following deeply held philosophies: "You must have a vision and go at it with no fear, as if you have nothing to lose. In speeches, I tell young people that the only way to succeed is by taking risks."
Also: "The day that we stop exceeding our customers' expectations is the day that we will begin to stop existing."
Serial Entrepreneur
His multicultural background is well suited to Brightstar's global expansion. Mr. Claure lived in several countries, including the Dominican Republic and Morocco. He attended high school in Bolivia and came to the United States in 1989 to attend Bentley College in Waltham, Massachusetts. After graduation, he worked with the head of Bolivia's soccer federation to help the nation's team qualify for the 1994 World Cup.
Mr. Claure later returned to the United States and purchased a cell phone retail store in Boston. "After developing a relationship with the owner, I bought the store for zero money down," Mr. Claure says. A year later, he had built a chain of 134 wireless stores throughout the Northeast.
He later sold the business and became president of Small World Communications, a cell phone chain based in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. After turning around the unprofitable chain, Mr. Claure started Brightstar with Dave Peterson, who is now vice-president of sales in Brightstar's Chicago office.
Mr. Claure sold some of his possessions to launch the project in October 1997. He named the company by combining the names of two top competitors, Coppell, Texas-based CellStar Corp. and Plainfield, Indiana-based Brightpoint Inc.
Brightstar did not undergo the typical lengthy entrepreneurial struggle for revenue and financing. The company raked in sales of $14 million during its first three months. Miami-based Ocean Bank granted Brightstar a $2 million loan. Suppliers such as BellSouth and Spain's Telefonica connected their bankers to Brightstar and growth has soared ever since.
Right Time in the Right Places
Brightstar fills several needs in the global mobile phone industry. The company distributes cell phones and accessories while managing inventory, logistics, billing, and customer support for local wholesalers, resellers, network operators, and equipment manufacturers worldwide.
It serves more than 160 operators and 15,000 resellers, making its distribution and inventory management more efficient. And that makes Brightstar's customers more competitive, says Jane Zweig, CEO of The Shosteck Group, a Columbia, Maryland-based telecom consulting firm.
"Distribution is one of the hardest things cell phone network operators face. Fullfilling orders and handling distribution and inventory channels produce great savings for the operators," she says.
Brightstar manages inventory with a patented proprietary system that contains all historical data for a product in one database accessible by Brightstar and its customers.
So far, the company's growth has been completely financed by debt. In August 2004, it did file to raise $115 million through an IPO of common stock on the Nasdaq, but the company withdrew the offering two months later, citing "market conditions and certain other factors."
Mr. Claure currently owns 60 percent of Brightstar, venture capitalists and investors own 27 to 30 percent, and employees own nearly all of the remaining interest, he says.
Brightstar's second-largest owner is Mitsui & Co. Ltd., a Japanese trade and manufacturing conglomerate. In August 2006, Mitsui invested $50 million and took a seat on the company's board of directors. As this story was being reported, Mr. Claure said he had recently made a presentation to raise an additional $250 million.
In the years ahead, he says, Brightstar may again consider going public. But that won't happen anytime soon, he adds.
"So far, we have been able to convince private investors to value us the exact same way as comparable companies are valued on Wall Street," Mr. Claure says. "The reason is that this company has experienced incredible growth."
Rapid growth has enabled Brightstar to make private equity placements and retire them as the company's value increases.
Nurtured in Latin America
Brightstar thrives in a growing international cell phone market. Worldwide wireless phone sales surpassed 990.8 million units in 2006, a 21.3 percent increase from 2005, according to Gartner, Inc., an IT research company. Gartner forecasts unit sales of about 1.2 billion units this year.
Brightstar is the largest independent cell phone distributor in every Latin American country in which the company does business. Mexico, followed by Venezuela and Brazil, accounts for most of its revenues in the region.
The company still has plenty of room for growth in Latin America, where 40 to 45 percent of people in the region use cell phones. Latin America now accounts for about half of the company's revenues.
The company's five-year goal: Derive 25 percent of revenues from Latin America, 25 percent from the United States, 25 percent from Europe, and 25 percent from the rest of the world.
Mr. Claure is determined to make Brightstar No. 1 in every country where the company does business.
"Just because we are the world's largest on a combined basis doesn't mean we are the largest in every country that we are in," he says. "In the U.S. we are No. 2. We are No. 3 or No. 4 in a lot of Asian and European countries."
But not for long, if Mr. Claure can help it.
In March, the company launched Brightstar Europe, formed through a joint venture with United Kingdom-based Tech Data, the largest IT distributor in Europe. U.K.-based Brightstar Europe has access to at least 10 logistics centers and 16 sales offices in the region and is the only pan-European wireless distribution business. About 75 percent of Tech Data's sales take place online. Brightstar Europe plans to use Tech Data's Web-based sales system to attract customers, promising to deliver products anywhere in 16 European nations within 24 hours.
In the intensely competitive U.S. market, Brightstar is growing briskly. Revenues will exceed $700 million this year, and Mr. Claure believes it can surpass $1 billion within two years. With U.S. market penetration of cell phones exceeding 80 percent, most sales consist of new replacements for older devices.
Next Stop: The World
Brightstar is on the rise in other regions of the world, too. Over the last 18 months, the company has set up several distribution facilities and offices in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, the Middle East, and Africa. In May 2006, Brightstar announced a joint venture with United Arab Emirates-based technology distributor Aptec to form Brightec, with operations in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Turkey, Egypt, and Lebanon.
In 2005, Brightstar launched operations in Mumbai, India, with other branches throughout the country. With 1.1 billion people and fewer than 10 percent cell phone subscribers, India represents a potentially lucrative market for Brightstar.
The company has a facility in Singapore that serves the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand.
Also in 2005, Brightstar started operations in Australia, signing an agreement to be the exclusive wireless phone and accessories provider for Telstra Corp., which is headed by former US West CEO Sol Trujillo.
Motorola's partnership with Brightstar has been a key to Brightstar's growth. In 2001, Brightstar signed agreements to become Motorola's master services distributor in Latin America, and to support the company's brand in the United States. In 2005, Brightstar began selling and distributing Motorola products in Australia. In January 2007, Motorola and Brightstar announced a global distribution agreement.
Motorola is also pleased. "Motorola and Brightstar have a dynamic and growing relationship," says Ray Roman, executive vice-president of Motorola and co-leader of its Mobile Devices business. "Marcelo is a respected leader who's known for his energy, vision, and ability to recognize and capitalize on opportunities for both Brightstar and their stakeholders."
Success has cut a high profile for Mr. Claure in the high-tech industry and illustrated the key role that Hispanics can play in the sector's international expansion.
Two of Mr. Claure's key executives are Hispanic: former Motorola executive Juan Carlos Archila is president and CEO of Brightstar's Latin America region. Javier Villamizar is president, High Growth Markets.
"Hispanics have an edge because we combine two cultures, and we can use that edge to grow outside the U.S.," Mr. Claure says.

Good evening. I'm just joining and looking forward to exchange views with you, especially about hybrid / mixed research methods.
Maybe the best thing to introduce my research method, PhenoCognitive Analysis, and to get feedback and comments from you is to give you a link to a little web site where I expose my research :
In short :
Hi Al, I agree with your rant about the obligatory tacked on class on qualitative methods. Not having the knowledge & skills to feel at ease with both quantitative & qualitative methods severely limits research options in the 'real world'. Just as one example research into organizations would miss an awful lot without employ mixed methodology.
I'd like to add a couple of comments about what appears to be the description of qualitative methods using the rhetoric of quantitative research. In doing so I hope to address Medhi and Clive's recent comments in that order. Please excuse any rants on my part...
While I agree that quantitative studies are theory-driven, to describe all qualitative approaches as data-driven or, worse still, in terms of grounded theory analysis does a disservice to ourselves and our students. I would ask people to harken back to the days of Walter Wallace's The Logic of Science in Sociology (1971) and look at qualitative as theory building rather than merely data-driven which presents the impression of qualitative methodology being atheoretical while quantitative approaches are scientific since they test and or verify (validate?) a theory.
As qualitative methodologists, we typically use theory to either craft the questions that we ask our participants and/or in analyzing the responses they provide us. This is based on both the empirical and theoretical literatures rather than a simple subjective analysis.
In terms of the two theses mentioned, I would agree that the students would be better served to describe their approaches as theory driven analyses of the data. Without harping on the strengths of Jennifer Atride-Stirling's (2001 work:
Attride-Stirling, J. (2001). Thematic networks - an analytic tool for qualitative research. Qualitative Research, 1(3): 385-405.
she provides a much simpler method of of both data gathering and analysis than grounded theory with the ability to provide wider resonance of the finding rather than a localized application of 'small t' theory.
As for the 'mixed' methods approach, I can't comment here without seeing exactly how these students described their respective approaches. I agree with Clive that if the students are mixing two background drive theories they need to acknowledge it in their analyses.
However, I'm getting frustrated with my quantitative colleagues both here and abroad who teach research methods with the obligatory one class on qualitative methods and have created the impressions among students that including an open-ended question in a survey questionnaire creates a mixed methods study!!!! A mixed methods approach is effectively two methods applied sequentially within the same study; such a study might employ a survey questionnaire (to determine the extent of the phenomena) followed by a semi-structured interviews (to discover the deeper meaning of it or the perceptions of participants) that were informed by the results of the former or vice versa.
Let's see... push the 'end rant' button next to the 'any key' button on the keyboard and send!
I know 'mixed' usually means combining quantitative & qualitative approaches but if we take a step back is this not another variation on 'mixed'. Here I am thinking that classically quantitative is theory driven & qualitative is data driven but are not your PhD candidates mixing the two background drive theories. As long as it is acknowledged I see no problem with it .
Role of theory in research
I was wondering what list members' experiences are when they need to deal with the "role of theory in research" in practice, for example in phd theses.
Classically, we apt to recognize the dichotomy of "data-driven" vs. "theory-driven"; with "data-driven" following a "grounded-theory" approach and with the mission of building theory; while the former following a "verification" approach. The two approaches have also been represented with "qualitative" vs. "quantitative" methods.
I've been reading two theses whose authors have claimed using a grounded-theory approach, but with heavy reliance on theory from the very beginning. They have indeed collected qualitative data and have followed the qualitative procedures of coding the data and analyzing the data. However, it seems to me, they have relied on the current theories in developing their coding schemes and making sense of their data. I've been thinking rather than labeling the studies as "grounded theory", perhaps they'd be better to frame them as "theory-driven" with the purpose of whether their data talk to the theories they're relying on or not even though they're using qualitative data.
What folks think?

Jeffrey LockhartJeff Lockhart, B.S. '05, came to Henderson expecting to get a great education in dietetics. But he says his Henderson experience prepared him not just for a great job in his field, but for life in general. "Studying at Henderson was very challenging and I really had to work for my degree, which also prepares you for the challenging world ahead."
Jeff said his choice of major was a matter of following his enthusiasm for healthful living: "I built my life around living a healthy lifestyle so it just made sense to follow what I had a passion about." Once he got into the Family and Consumer Science program, he said he was impressed by the family atmosphere and how it fostered a sense of teamwork and motivation among the students.
After graduating, Jeff became a Nutrition Educator for the Arkansas Department of Health's Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program. He spent two years in that position before moving into his current role as Environmental Health Specialist. As an EHS, he helps ensure that the food consumed in local food establishments is safe and unadulterated.
Jeff's advice for other Henderson students emphasizes the winning combination of hard work and making good use of the tools one's been given. "You get out of life what you put in," he said. "Learn to work hard…and enjoy the rewards. Most jobs are only eight-hour days for five days a week, so there will be plenty of time to enjoy the finer, simple things as well."
"I really enjoyed the dietetics program for many reasons. I loved the smaller classes, which provided a comfortable learning environment. I was given hands-on experience that helped me learn in new and exciting ways."Ashley RobersonBachelor of Science - Family and Consumer Science (Dietetics), 2004

Group Calls for Ibuprofen Warnings
Group Calls for Ibuprofen Warnings
Feb. 15, 2005 -- A group of doctors and families called on federal regulators Tuesday to warn the public that Advil and similar drugs can cause rare but potentially fatal skin reactions.
The group filed a petition with the FDA asking it to order on-label warnings on products containing ibuprofen, the drug found in popular brands including Advil and Motrin.
The drug can cause a rash and skin-blistering reaction known as Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) in about five in 1 million users. Patients who continue to take the drug despite the rash can develop toxic epidermal necrolysis, or TEN, which resembles severe burn injuries all over the body and is fatal in up to one-third of cases.
"We're merely asking the FDA to look at this and tighten up the warnings," says Roger E. Salisbury, MD, chief of plastic surgery at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, N.Y., who signed the petition along with three other doctors and three families of children who were allegedly injured or who died after taking ibuprofen.
The petition calls for warnings on all ibuprofen products highlighting the risk of the disorders and urging consumers to stop the drug immediately if a rash appears. It also asks the FDA to launch an investigation to see if ibuprofen manufacturers withheld critical safety data about over-the-counter forms of the drug.
"All we're asking for is a few sentences on the box. We're not asking that the drug be 'withdrawn' from the market," says Michael Nicar, PhD, a toxicologist from Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, who also signed the petition.
Nicar and the other doctors petitioning the FDA have all served as expert witnesses in ibuprofen lawsuits, a spokesperson representing the group says. The three families on the petition have all filed lawsuits against drug makers alleging wrongful death or negligence because the companies did not warn them about the risk of SJS or TEN.
The Makers of Motrin and Advil Respond
McNeil Consumer & Specialty Products, which makes several forms of adult and children's Motrin, issued a statement stressing that Stevens Johnson Syndrome is rare and has many potential causes besides ibuprofen.
"Children's Motrin when used as directed is safe and efficacious," says company spokeswoman Kathy Fallon.
"If my doctor and my husband and I had known about these risks of SJS and TEN we would have never given her Children's Advil," says Darlene Kiss, who sued Advil maker Wyeth Consumer Healthcare last month alleging that the drug caused the death of her 3-year-old daughter Heather in March 2003.
Wyeth spokesman Doug Petkus declined to comment on any litigation facing the company. But he did say that Advil and Children's Advil already refer to the potential for severe allergic reactions and that the labels are "sufficient."
"They're safe when taken as directed," he said.
Drug reactions cause about one-third of the estimated 5,000 hospitalizations required to treat SJS, TEN, and similar disorders each year in the U.S., according to a study published in January.
Several drugs, including seizure medications and antibiotics, as well as a variety of viruses, can cause the reactions.
But petitioners say that few U.S. doctors, and almost no consumers, know of the risk or that ibuprofen should be stopped immediately if a rash appears following its use. Advil labels carry a warning in Europe but not in the U.S.

[Advice to someone specific or for you if it helps.]
I remember one night I was home alone watching Beginners and ugly crying. I thought I would never find someone that I would love and would love me back. Maybe really the feeling I had was that they would love me and I would have a hard time loving them back.
I have a boyfriend now that I love, but it took years and some relationships, some tough breakups (even with my boyfriend now), some real awkward dates, some terrible and some amazing hookups. Maybe that's not what you want to hear. We've been together for 2 years now. I don't know, I feel like I am terrible with advice sometimes, and I don't want to be all 'it gets better' cause sometimes it just doesn't for some people. I have a feeling though that you want it to and it probably will. Maybe this relationship or boy you love is right for you or maybe he/it's not.
Your feelings are all ok though. I think everyone wants to feel loved, they want someone to be there when they get home, someone they love and loves them back. Sometimes you have to be the person that hugs you and tell yourself it will be ok until the time comes when someone naturally does it for you.
This is just something I needed to read right now on a little bit of the lonely side of 23 in a city where I don't know a lot of people and feel little bit disconnected.

First entry in my stupid journal, today I had to run to get two imaginary friendship hats from an office. I could have just waked around the corner and then come back, but for some reason I actually went all the way back to where they were suppose to be. One was crumpled up a bit, that was Troy's. The other was just a little dusty, that was Abed's. I fixed them up even though I was the only one watching because I settled on a truth today, that's always going to be true, I would do anything for my friends. Which is how I think is how everyone in the world feels, which finally makes me understand war.
Oh my GOD look at jeff winger in THAT shirt!!!

When your office building manager refers to a 2 pm dismissal as a "disposal."
Something I learned yesterday: If you're having a meeting in a demo room with a giant flatscreen television, don't turn the television on until you absolutely have to, otherwise the attendees will get sucked into The Price Is Right and commercials for the Hoveround and Diabeetus drugs.
That being said, if you are one of the attendees, pray that the speaker is too dumb to realize this.

Add this to depressing things you learn when lying on the couch feeling sorry for yourself and watching the TBS edit of The Birdcage.
I've had a patch of of eczema on my foot for… oh, 6 or 7 years now. It gets worse and gets better. Mostly it's just unsightly. I've had people ask me if it's a bad burn before. This year, though, in addition to the patch on my foot, I have some on my ankle, my other foot, both of my hands, and one elbow.
And I'm not even joking, but I think I'm about to scratch my skin down to the bone. It's so itchy, I've resorted to the following over the last few weeks:
So I think that it might be time for me to make a new doctor's appointment and get some steroid injections. It's the only thing that definitely works. Also, they usually give me some very nice sleep aids in order to make sure I don't scratch my feet off in the middle of the night, so there's that.
The Harlem Globetrotters show up and play some razzmatazz b-ball against Smokey and decisively beat him. The heart of the island turns out to be a giant spinning basketball. Kate dies.
I'd say that my reaction is all WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME? And the answer would be something like, You are a failure of a human being, no doy. But I've also decided that this is the worst kind of narcissism (sidenote: can there be a "worst kind of narcissism?) in that it makes what could potentially be an honest-to-god problem with another person into some kind of reflection of me, so I'm making an effort to not be so self-absorbed.
Self-wallowing translation that completely contradicts what I was trying to say up there: I'm a pariah.

I like the Outback Steakhouse version of "Wraith Pinned to the Mist" better than Of Montreal's original. Don't get me wrong, both Outback and Of Montreal suck (and the song isn't that great), but the Outback version is so much jauntier.

Quality of research
VU University Amsterdam is a leading research university that ranks among the best in Europe. In order to maintain this position and improve its research efforts still further, it is vital to measure the quality of the research carried out to gain an insight into which areas might be improved.
The quality of the research carried out at VU University Amsterdam is assessed on a regular basis, in accordance with the Standard Evaluation Protocol (SEP). The SEP was set up by the Association of Universities in the Netherlands (VSNU), the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) and the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO).
Every research institute and unit at VU University Amsterdam conducts a self-assessment once every three years. Additionally, research activities are evaluated every six years by an external committee. The self-assessments are evaluated by the University Monitoring Committee (UTC). The assessment consists of an evaluation of both the scientific and societal relevance of the research, and the standard of supervision and teaching of PhD students is also examined. The comments received following the external evaluations form an important thread for the university when setting out its research strategy.
The approach that VU University Amsterdam will be taking during the next few years towards shaping its quality assurance policies and other related procedures is summarized in the Quality Assurance Memorandum. It covers quality safeguards, transparency and the need to emanate excellence, and provides the framework for quality assurance in the research units. Monitoring quality assurance is 'work in progress', so the memorandum will inevitably be modified and tightened up from time to time.
Most research projects at VU University Amsterdam are adjudged to be good to excellent. The university takes measures if ever there is a negative opinion.
The evaluations are described in the following reports, which are available to the public:

Hey you jagbags,
We had a very small part in arranging for a fun little kaffeeklatsch with Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks at Momofuku Milk Bar's Williamsburg store at 4 pm tomorrow, Tuesday, January 7th.
SM & the band will hang out and sign things - maybe you'll go and pick up a copy of their new record, WIG OUT AT JAGBAGS, from Rough Trade or Other Music or Earwax or another one of New York's fine purveyors of recorded music - and they will sign that.
Or you can just bring a wadge of singles and buy a cup of the new Cinnamon & Lesbians-flavored soft serve that will be featured at the Metropolitan Avenue shop this week and you'll get one of a short stack of posters of the image above, created especially for this situation by Gary Panter. Anyone who buys the ice cream gets one, tomorrow and until the supply runs out!
If you're wondering, "What does Cinnamon & Lesbians taste like? And why it is a flavor of ice cream?" We can help:
1. It's a flavor inspired by this rad new track from the Jicks album. (And, hey, if you feel like getting lost in an internet k-hole, check out the other song from the new album on the y-tube, Lariat. That line about "We grew up on Tennyson and venison and the Grateful Dead" has been ricocheting around my skull for weeks.)
2. The flavor? Gotta taste it to know. I'm guessing it's gonna have the vibe of kohl-eyed girls in their sophomore year at Smith crossed with a box of Red Hots, but the truth will be there to taste tomorrow.
See you then!

Breakout Sessions are subject to change
Back to Agenda
Extremism/Terrorism in Families and Their Implications
Tamerlan Tsarnaev and brother Dzhokhar, implicated in the Boston Marathon terror attack and related incidents, are symbols of a global trend of family-affiliated extremism and terrorism. Because extremism can be embraced collectively at a family level, the intelligence community, first-responders, and private security would benefit by better understanding this phenomenon and implementing tools that address this risk.
Developing High-Quality School Emergency Operations Plans: An Overview
This session will provide an overview of the recently released Guide for Developing High-Quality School Emergency Operations Plans. The new guide will help schools and institutions of higher education (IHE) develop and implement high-quality emergency operations plans. It also describes principles and processes that will help ensure school/IHE planning efforts are aligned with emergency planning practices at national, state, and local levels.
Washington Public Information Response
Central Illinois public information officers will describe how they worked together to disseminate accurate and timely disaster information to tornado victims, the general public, and media partners after the Tazewell County tornadoes last fall. Learn their preparedness efforts prior to November 17 and how they activated quickly to staff the Joint Information Center and fill the roles of Lead PIO, Media Liaison, and Incident Commander PIO in Washington. Lessons learned will be included in the presentation.
Communications Strategic Technology Reserves Panel
This panel discussion will help attendees better understand what the State of Illinois Communications Strategic Technology Reserves (STR) capabilities are and how they can be used. Discussions will cover deployable communications vehicles, cache radios, transportable repeaters and gateways, and communications personnel.
211 Illinois
2-1-1 is a telephone service available 24/7 in an increasing number of counties in Illinois that provides information on health and human service needs. There are currently four call centers serving 28 counties or cities, with approximately 20 more counties to be added by year end. In the event of a disaster, 2-1-1 could have information on food, shelter, and other basic needs, as well as ongoing services for future recovery. This session will help attendees learn more about how 2-1-1 could be used in your area as a partner in both response and recovery.
The Hazard Mitigation Process from Planning to Projects
This session will explain how the mitigation programs work. It will cover everything from how plans are developed, what projects are eligible for funding, and how to apply for funding.
Understanding Infectious Diseases and Containment Strategies: A Primer for Emergency Management Personnel
The purpose of this presentation is to help emergency management personnel understand the basic concepts of Infectious Diseases and relate these to practical containment strategies. Often public health scientists use technical language to describe these concepts and dont relate them to the world of the audience. This presentation will provide practical examples and assist emergency management personnel in protecting themselves and others as they carry out their daily work.
Hazardous Materials Transportation
The production, transportation, and use of hazardous materials are essential to the economy of the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and to their technology-dependent societies. The increased harmonization of regulations, better data, and new technology, and cooperative efforts between shippers, carriers, tank car builders, and governments influence safe transport practices for hazardous materials. This session will feature a panel of public and private rail officials to discuss safe shipment of hazardous materials and rules and regulations governing the transportation of these products, including recent communication requirements to state and local officials based upon incidents that have occurred in the United States.
