STACEY VANEK SMITH: The holidays are almost here and a lot of us will be braving the airports -- pat-downs and all. If you are traveling this holiday season, chances are you booked your flight online. About three quarters of travelers do that these days, a lot of them use discount websites like Expedia, and Travelocity. Airlines have not been big fans of these sites, because they've pushed fares down. Now one major airline is opting out of one of the major discount travel sites entirely.
Marketplace's Eve Troeh has more.
EVE TROEH: If you go to the travel website Orbitz.com today and check off American Airlines as your preferred carrier, you'll get an error message. Sorry -- can't find any flights available. That's because yesterday American yanked all of its flights off Orbitz, and ended a ten year relationship with the company.
Travel industry consultant John Strickland says American maybe taking its cue from successful discount carriers, like Southwest and Jetblue. He says their philosophy about third-party travel sites, is this:
JOHN STRICKLAND: If we believe we can fill our seats, we don't need to pay out the chunk of our revenue to somebody else to do our job for us.
Strickland says by selling tickets on it's own site, American can more easily offer additional products, like seat upgrades or priority boarding fees. American says all tickets already bought on Orbitz will be honored, but for any changes or future purchases, customers have to contact the airline directly.
I'm Eve Troeh for Marketplace.

ONEONTA, N.Y. - The Marist water polo team split a pair of games on Saturday, defeating Gannon 16-7 before falling to Hartwick 15-7. Both games were played at Hartwick.
In their first game against Gannon, Marist (7-5) jumped out to a 5-1 lead after the first quarter and 8-1 by halftime. Robyn Crabtree (Cutler Bay, Fla.) scored four goals and three assists to lead the offense while Jessica Hamby (Sacramento, Calif.) and Anna-Lena Hathaway (Pasadena, Calif.) each had three goals. Shelby Rinker (Lansdale, Pa.), Brooke Else (Lansdale, Pa.) and Ellie Hoffman (Pasadena, Calif.) all found the back of the net twice. Hannah Levien (Davis, Calif.) made six steals and Yuriria Chavez (Chicago, Ill.) had four steals. Rebecca Thomas (Cape Town, South Africa) played the first half and recorded four saves while also making two steals and two assists. Skyler Henry (San Diego, Calif.) played the third quarter in goal and made four saves and two steals while Elise Humphries (Anaheim, Calif.) made two saves in the fourth quarter.
Against Hartwick in the second game, the hosts used a seven-goal third quarter to pull away from the Red Foxes. Hathaway scored twice and added two assists while making six steals defensively. Levien also had two goals and an assist and Crabtree scored once and assisted on two others. Jessica Hamby and Rinker both scored one goal apiece. Thomas played the entire game in goal, making 10 saves and two steals. She also added her third assist of the day.
Marist next will head back out for its second trip to the west coast. The Red Foxes will kick off their spring break trip at the Lancer Invite, hosted by California Baptist. Marist will play the host Lancers and George Washington on Friday before taking on Redlands and Azusa Pacific on Saturday.

Click here to read Monsignor's article: "The Sacrament of Confirmation, Strengthen Your Christian Identity this Year"
The Sacrament of Confirmation confers special graces of the Holy Spirit upon the person being confirmed, just as such graces were granted to the Apostles on Pentecost. Like Baptism, therefore, it can only be performed once, and Confirmation increases and deepens all of the graces granted at Baptism.
Because an increasing number of hospitals and nursing homes are not permitted to publicize information about which patients/residents are Catholic, please notify the parish at 330.492.0757 or firstname.lastname@example.com if a family member is in one of these care facilities.
The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick will take place the first Sunday of every month following the 9 am mass. In case of serious illness or serious hospitalization please call the parish office for a home or hospital visit and the reception of the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.
The Sacrament of Marriage is a public sign that one gives oneself totally to this other person. It is also a public statement about God: the loving union of husband and wife
speaks of family values and also God's covenantal relationship with us. Please contact the parish for information no less than 6 months in advance of the date desired. Also, there is a required marriage formation class for those preparing for marriage.

PERIOD OF INQUIRY (indefinite period of time, offered 12 months)
Inquiry Team: Composed of parishioners who want to act as a "welcoming committee" for the parish; team members need to focus on evangelization, proclaiming Christ, sharing their faith experiences, praying with and answering questions regarding Catholic tradition, customs, and the overall process of initiation. Individuals having interest in the Catechumenate or Candidacy will have the opportunity to meet with the pastor or a team member concerning the R.C.I.A. process.
Formal entry into the Catechumenate/Candidate Instructional period occurs at the Rite of Acceptance/Rite of Welcoming, which will be celebrated at Sunday Liturgy ( First Sunday of Advent or when necessary to welcome new individuals into the Catechumenate. Scheduling of these rites will be done by the director and approved by the pastor.
Catechetical Team: Composed of parishioners or teachers who have a basic understanding of tradition, scripture, liturgy, church doctrine, etc, and who can lead sessions in a manner that is conversational and spiritually enriching.
Process Structure (Catechumens/Candidates) is as follows
Catechumens and Candidates
Time of Participation in the Catechumenate: to coincide with Diocesan guidelines. Catechumenate functions 12 months out of the year
* Will accommodate: individuals not yet ready to move into Purification and Enlightenment, due to unusual marriage circumstance or recent entry into the Catechumenate
*Sacraments of Initiation always to be celebrated at the Easter Vigil.
Regular Mass Attendance: Catechumens/Candidates are expected to attend Mass regularly.
Breaking Open the Word Sessions: Held weekly during Lent. Facilitated by a catechist, normally following the homily at the 9:00 a.m. Mass on the Sundays of Lent.
Catechetical Sessions: Regular instructional sessions that focus on doctrinal topics that stem out of the upcoming week's lectionary readings – and which continue to integrate the Catechumens into the faith life of the Church. Every effort is made to avoid a purely didactic approach and to create an atmosphere conducive for conversation and reflective learning.
Prayer Services: Catechumens/Candidates should participate in regularly-scheduled prayer services (at the convenience of the team/director). Prayer services can substitute regularly scheduled catechetical session.
Service Projects: Catechumen/Candidates should participate in a minimum of one service project, but as many as necessary to equal 15 hours of service prior to baptism or full communion. The service project should serve to open them up to deeper awareness and reflection on Catholic Social Teaching. Service can be done on one's own time to accommodate work/personal schedules.
Catechumens - Candidates
Note: Completion of an instruction period does not automatically qualify one for Confirmation, as more time may be needed to accommodate individual circumstances (i.e. marriage situations and/or personal readiness).
Meeting with Parish Mentors: (could be team members or sponsors) Every six weeks a meeting at convenience of the Mentor/Candidate. Focus will be on personal assessment of progress and desire for full communion. Mentors are to help the Catechumen/Candidate in the journey process.
This phase functions only during Lent and only for those individuals ready to move beyond the Catechumenate into Election, and consists of the liturgical Rites of Sending, Election/Continued Conversion, and the Scrutinies.
Sessions: Regular catechetical session schedule remains functioning to coincide with year-round Catechumenate phase.
Rites of Sending/Election/Continued Conversion: Always held on the first Sunday of Lent.
Scrutinies: Always celebrated on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Sundays of Lent.
Lenten Retreat: Lenten retreat will be scheduled at Walsh University, facilitated by Campus Ministry.
Sessions: Sessions are designated for post-baptismal catechesis of the neophytes and the candidates. As such, they will be held during the Easter Season for the newly-baptized and those who came into full communion with the Church up to Pentecost. Sessions should be scheduled, facilitated by the director and team members. Focus should be on full communion members attaining a "fuller and more effective understanding of the mysteries…through their experience of the sacraments." Included therein could be a retreat that specifically reflects on the continuous liturgy of the Easter Triduum.

When Cupid held an auction sale,
I hastened to his mart,
For I had heard that he would sell
The blue-eyed Doras heart.
I brought a wealth of truest love,
The most that I could proffer,
Because, forsooth, of stocks or bonds
I had not one to offer.
When Cupid offered Doras heart,
I bid my whole hearts love,
A love that reached from sea to sea
And to the sky above;
And When Sir Cupid called for more,
I bid my hands and life,
That should be hers for servitude
If she became my wife.
Then Going! going! Cupid cried;
The silence was intense
Until old Goldbags said, I bid
My stocks and four per cents!
Then Cupid cried, Fair Doras heart,
That neer was sold before!
Does anybody raise the bid?
Will any offer more?
If not, but Count Decrepit rose,
Infirm, decayed and slim;
I hid my title! and her heart
Was there knocked down to him.
Well! titles may be more than love!
I shall not rant nor rail;
For after all I much prefer
Some heart thats not for sale!

Never owned one but have heard of them. You are right, it is hard to find any news on them.
But I did find this. I hope it helps.
Whats the story with the CZ-100? Has anyone here owned or fired one? As with everything CZ it's
probably a great shooter but I can't find any reviews. There was a mention of the trigger being the worst
ever produced but other than that Nothing. Can anyone shed some light on this Poly pistol?
Never owned one but have heard of them. You are right, it is hard to find any news on them.
But I did find this. I hope it helps.
I've read some bad gun reviews before but that one takes the cake. I was looking at the 100.
I thought it might be the Beretta 9000's poly CZ brother. A great gun if it fit your hand.
That's not even a close comparison.
I'm not looking anymore. Now, I'm not even thinking about it.
Thanks for your help
WOW! Must have been a bad review. I have heard nothing but good things about CZs. What was it about the 100 that was so bad?
Do your self a favor. Take any and I mean ANY review with a grain of salt. They point out some things. But something that is a MAJOR hang up for one person means nothing to another.
If you had an interest in the CZ100, find a range where you can rent one at and shoot it. Don't take the word of a person you don't know as the GOSPEL on this issue.
No gun is perfect. I read reviews on Glocks, XD/XDm, Bersas and Walthers that make out that they are marginal firearms, if I had taken those reviews at face value I would never have purchased the great hand guns I now own.
Remember, that was just one mans opinion, and opinions are like but holes. Everyone has one (opinion) but their opinion may not be your opinion.
YOU decide whether you like the gun. In the end you may decide you agree, but at least you took the time to find out for your self if the gun was right for you.
Look at the SW Sigma. There are people out there that SCREAM that it is a POS. And others say it is a good gun and does exactly what they need it to do.
Personal opinion, yours and his. Find out for your self, what your opinion is.

Looking forward to 2015, the ACVA report states, "In Carlyle, the National Science Foundation broke ground on their new headquarters, which promises an important new source of visitation when it opens in 2017. Continuing development of Potomac Yards and its potential to add a 5th Metro stop will further expand our position as a city of neighborhoods. Across the river, our neighbors in National Harbor opened the Tanger Outlet mall, added the Capital (ferris) Wheel, and broke ground on the MGM casino, which will include a 3000 seat entertainment complex, all creating additional attractions that will complement the Alexandria experience."
The ACVA annual report helps to illustrate the exciting growth Alexandria has seen in 2014, and the exciting growth to come. You can find a link to the report along with the Extraordinary Alexandria media campaign below.

On September 27th, ground was broken by family members of fallen Alexandria Police officers and the Alexandria Police Foundation on a new memorial honoring the 18 Alexandria Police officers who have died in the line of duty since the 1800s. The memorial is to stand in front of the Alexandria Police Department's Wheeler Avenue headquarters and fundraising for memorial was taken over by the Alexandria Police Foundation in 2013. The Alexandria Police Department is still fundraising to make a memorial that would "properly honor the courage, sacrifice and memory of these officers."
The Eisenhower Partnership has donated $1000 to the fund as a part of our responsibility to the community and the Police force that serves to protect our community every day.

Please join us at the 3rd Community Meeting concerning the Eisenhower West Small Area Plan. We and the City of Alexandria highly value your input!
We hope to see you there!
The 5th Steering Committee Meeting will be help on Monday, September 8th at 7:00PM at the Samuel Tucker Elementary School Multi-Purpose Room/Mini Auditorium.
The 3rd Community Meeting will be held on Monday, September 29th at 7:00PM at the Beatley Central Library.
The Alexandria City Council approved the Eisenhower West Small Area on May 29, 2013, to be the foremost item on the agenda for the Alexandria Department of Planning and Zoning. The planning project is taking into account community visions, issue identification and the basic plan framework and is anticipated to be completed in late 2015. The City Manager appointed 12 members of the Alexandria Community to serve on the Eisenhower West Steering Committee. This committee will serve to guide the planning process as well as provide insight on suggested development ideas resulting from the Eisenhower West Transportation Study. The City's Department of Transportation and Environmental Services is conducting this study at the same time as the Small Area Plan.
The Eisenhower West Study Area is bounded by the Henry G Shirley Memorial Highway on the North West side, Holmes Run Parkway on the North East side, the Capitol Beltway on the South and Stulz Road on the West side.
As of July 28th, 2014 there have been two community meetings and four steering committee meetings concerning the development of the Eisenhower West Small Area Plan. The fourth steering committee meeting, which took place on June 30th, involved discussions about existing transportation issues within the Eisenhower West area as well as a report on an online, voluntary transportation poll and finally a discussion on the development possibility of a multimodal bridge.
There are three main purpose goals of the transportation study that is being conducted in conjunction with the small area plan study. They are to examine various land use scenarios to be explored in the small area plan, conduct an analysis of the Multi-modal bridge idea that was recommended in the Landmark/Van Dorn Corridor Plan (2009) and to conduct an analysis on the need for an extension of the Clermont Connector between Eisenhower Ave and Duke Street.
At the Steering Committee Meeting, members emphasized the need to define 'underutilized' in the context of Van Dorn Metrorail station. In a memo following the meeting, staff wrote that in comparison to other Alexandria Metrorail stations, the Van Dorn station has a significantly lower number of riders who walk to the station and a higher number of users that access the station by shuttle or personal car. WMATA has show that the station capacity could increase within the existing infrastructure but if the number of daily riders who arrive at the station by car or shuttle increases, there would be little room to accommodate them. T&ES recommends that the best way to improve utilization and accommodate more riders at the Van Dorn station would be through improving pedestrian and bike connectivity from the surrounding area.
The Steering Committee Meeting also discussed the option for a multi-modal bridge that was originally proposed in the 2009 Landmark/Van Dorn Corridor Plan. The multimodal bridge is still under much debate but could possibly be placed on the western edge of Armistead Booth Park, and staff stated that it aims to recommend touchdown locations for the bridge on Eisenhower Ave and South Pickett Street. There was much talk over what forms of transportation the bridge would hold and whether or not automobiles would be allowed.
Next steps for the 5th Steering Committee Meeting will involve further discussion into the two main issues facing the Eisenhower West area; the economic development of the region and emphasis on the entire Eisenhower Valley as one economic corridor, and the utilization of the Van Dorn Metrorail station.
The second and most recent Community Meeting too place on July 28th. At the meeting, three community-visioning activities were conducted in order to get a better idea for the change community members would like to see in the Eisenhower West area. The first exercise was a long term visioning exercise, which produced a graphic that can be seen on the Alexandria City - Eisenhower West website here; http://www.alexandriava.gov/EisenhowerWest. This graphic will serve as a marketing tool and reference piece as the Eisenhower West Small Area Plan continues to develop. The second activity involved placing preferences, symbolized by difference colored stickers, on items community members would like to see emphasized in the plan. There were three key topic areas in which participants could place their stickers; Land Uses and Building Heights, Parks and Public Spaces and Amenities and Streetscape Elements. What is interesting to note is that in terms of building heights, the majority of stickers were placed in either the mid rise (4-8 stories) or high rise (9+ stories) categories. This indicates the desire for higher density in the Eisenhower West area as compared to the existing density now. Connectivity was also a very popular category to place a preference sticker, indicating the desire of community members for higher connectivity in the area. The third activity asked participants to place stickers in places they wanted to preserve or enhance in the Eisenhower West area. There was a high preference to preserve the Cameron Station area while enhancement of the businesses on Pickett Street was a highlighted choice.

What is in this article?:
- The Sky Isn't Falling (And Your Tools Shouldn't Either)
- How to Use Fall Protection Gear for Tools
- Sidebar: Dropped Objects Best Practices and Solutions
For all objects at height – including humans – the focus always should be on preventing things from falling rather than on catching objects, or on limiting the damage after they fall.
Dropped objects have been a problem for as long as the force of gravity has existed, and have been written about for at least a century. In fact, the New York Times published an article in 1903 about dropped objects in which it said: "Dozens of placards posted at various places on the bridge caution the iron workers to use great care in the handling of tools, to avoid dropping them into the river."
Yet here we are today, having the exact same conversation. And, with the number of things we're dropping, it's amazing more people are not getting hurt. There are more than 50,000 "struck by falling object" OSHA recordables every year in the United States, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's one injury caused by a dropped object every 10 minutes.
Despite OSHA statistics – and the fact that many of these violations could have been prevented with the proper safety equipment – many contractors do not take the necessary precautions to prevent fall-related injuries by providing workers with personal fall protection systems for both the workers and their tools.
The Dangers of Dropped Objects
Are all accidents preventable? Fewer than 25 percent of construction workers think they are.
While that's debatable, what's clear is that workers often see themselves as the victims of accidents, not as the cause of them.
There is a fascinating video online in which workers in Rio de Janeiro are repairing the 125-foot-high Christ the Redeemer statue after it was struck by lightning. In the video, the workers are tied off but are using a hammer and chisel that are not tied off and below is a crowd of people. In the middle of the video, one of the workers answers a call from his son on his cell phone, which also is not tied off.
To determine what kind of force an object falling from a certain height generates, calculations can be done around the physics of gravity. For example, an eight-pound wrench dropped 200 feet would hit with a force of 2,833 pounds per square inch – the equivalent of a small car hitting a one-square-inch area.
Needless to say, if that worker on the statue in Rio de Janeiro had dropped his hammer and it had hit a visitor below, it likely would have caused a fatality.
In another example, a man delivering sheet rock to a construction site in Jersey City was killed by a tape measure. The independent contractor for a trucking company was leaning into a car window to speak with someone and when he pulled his head out, he was struck by a one-pound tape measure that had slipped out of a worker's hands 50 stories above.
Changing Our Perspective about Dropped Objects
In the United States, we expect workers at height to wear a fall protection harness and be tied off. Why? Because we're trying to prevent people from falling. But we've done nothing to prevent tools from falling because there is an expectation that objects will fall.
Too frequently, we rely on debris nets, toe boards and personal protective equipment (PPE) to catch the falling objects or limit the damage they do. But what we really need to do is stop things from falling in the same way we have worked diligently towards preventing people from falling.
There are more than 52,260 recorded incidents of people being struck by falling objects in the last recording period, according to OSHA. This number likely is much lower than the actual number, of course, but this would mean that, on average, nearly 143 objects strike people every day – including Saturdays and Sundays – in the United States alone.
As we know, people are not designed to work at height. They don't have a natural "connection point" to tie off to. That's why they wear a fall protection harness: to provide that connection point. Tools are not designed for use at height either. That's why we also need to provide a fall protection harness and connection point for tools – so they easily can be tied off.
A harness for a person acts as the primary component of a personal fall protection system. However, for tools, we typically rely on secondary, passive systems, such as debris nets. We rarely deploy a primary system for tools and equipment.
Most organizations have deployed a fall protection program for workers but have not deployed a drop prevention program for tools and equipment. Expanding a fall protection program to include tools and equipment is far easier for companies and employees than creating a new program for drop prevention.
The difference between a fall protection program for humans and fall protection program for tools is only a matter of perspective: The first saves you; the second saves others.
No worker wants to fall to his death. But no one wants to be the worker in Jersey City who dropped the tape measure and killed a man either. And no crew or company wants to be associated with an incident like that, which was all over the news.
While the most obvious person at risk when objects are dropped is the one underneath, the worker using the tool also can be at risk, as his knee-jerk reaction may be to catch or go after the falling object, which could cause him to lose his balance and fall.

"Tray practiced full speed with no limitations," Richt said. "Todd practiced to the best of his ability, but he is hobbling around a little bit."
Matthews started the first four contests this year but has not seen any game action since the win over sixth-ranked LSU on Sept. 28. Gurley made a triumphant return this past Saturday in the latest victory over Florida, accounting for 187 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns. He had been out since the second half of the LSU game.
Richt added that senior tight end Arthur Lynch (bruised ribs) did not practice Wednesday but is making progress. The Bulldogs have redshirt sophomore Jay Rome and senior Hugh Williams at that position too. When asked about Williams, Richt said "Hugh is an excellent route runner who has been getting a lot of reps and had another good practice today."
Appalachian State (2-7) is coming off a home loss to Chattanooga, falling 35-28 last Saturday. It was the first loss to the Mocs since 2004 and first time at home since 1983. In school history, ASU boasts seven wins over FBS/I-A opponents since 1983, most notably a 34-32 decision at No. 5 Michigan in 2007. This will be the first meeting between Georgia and ASU. The Mountaineers move up to the FBS ranks on July 1, 2014 when they officially join the Sun Belt Conference.
The Bulldogs and the Mountaineers square off Saturday in Athens. WSB-TV will broadcast the Homecoming game regionally with kickoff set for 12:31 p.m. ET.

John Spencer Ellis (pictured) is a best-selling author, speaker, filmmaker, and coach. He's the CEO of the National Exercise & Sports Trainers Association, Spencer Institute for Life Coaching, International Triathlon Coaching Association, Mixed Martial Arts Conditioning Association, and Get America Fit Foundation. With Entrevo managing director Topher Morrison, Ellis recently published Collaboration Economy: Eliminate Competition by Creating Partnership Opportunities.
The Intuit Small Business blog interviewed Ellis on what he and Morrison believe makes a successful small business. Here he explains why partnering with others can protect you from being swallowed by big businesses in today's highly competitive market and shares tips on how to start collaborating.
ISBB: In this video, you say "big business is truly threatened by small businesses." Why?
Ellis: Because small businesses have realized if they collaborate they can challenge the status quo of big business and, as a result, they have the nimble flexibility of a small business but the economic horsepower of big business. Big business is like a huge tanker and it takes forever to course correct. They are trying to change course. But they have a huge ship already moving in a direction they know themselves isn't the best path anymore.
Do small-business owners have anything to lose by not collaborating?
As the collaboration age comes into full swing (over the next two to five years), businesses will no longer be able to compete or even survive if they aren't collaborating with other businesses. So a small-business owner has everything to lose because technology and trade is moving so swiftly now, no one business can possibly keep up with the changing times. But by having connections beyond your target market, you can distribute the challenge of progress evenly among other companies to help bear that burden.
What prevents small businesses from partnering?
The biggest thing is scarcity. They are still operating from the information age, trying to keep their cards close and not share their best thinking with others — and, in fact, trying to sell their knowledge to people before they have access to it. That model doesn't work anymore. Their greatest obstacle is the unwillingness to micro niche their business. If I am a personal trainer, for example, and I work with anyone, then all personal trainers are my competition. If I am a personal trainer who only works with women over 40 getting a divorce, then 99 percent of all the other personal trainers out their are my allies and referring agents. I'll send them everyone who isn't female, over 40, and getting a divorce, and all I will ask in return is referrals to any of their prospects that fit into my micro niche.
Who should small businesses collaborate with, and how do they find and approach other businesses about partnering?
They should start by using collaborative services for administrative work [such as appointment scheduling, transcribing, blog posting, or customer support] and then progress to marketing services [such as social media communications, press releases, SEO (search engine optimization), etc.]. These are two great sources to get a lot of your work done for a fraction of what it would cost to hire a full-time employee. After that, move into joint venture projects which are short term, and have a start and end date. Before they begin, have metrics in place that allow both partners to determine if it was a good fit. After it's over, evaluate the results. If it worked, replicate. If it didn't, adjust the metrics and do it again, or shake hands and part as friends. The only way to ask for a collaborative project, in my opinion, is to approach the individual with a plan already laid out in what you can do for them. The moment you approach someone and ask them to help you, it becomes a chore for them. It should always be a reward.
What advice can you offer small-business owners who want to start partnering?
Start small and simple. Get your feet wet. Try it out and see how it goes. Also, start with collaborative services that let you recruit extra hands for your business without giving up any equity like eLance, fiverr, and Odesk.

When you combine the sheer scale and range of digital information now available with a journalist's "nose for news" and her ability to tell a compelling story, a new world of possibility opens up. With The Data Journalism Handbook, you'll explore the potential, limits, and applied uses of this new and fascinating field.
This valuable handbook has attracted scores of contributors since the European Journalism Centre and the Open Knowledge Foundation launched the project at MozFest 2011. Through a collection of tips and techniques from leading journalists, professors, software developers, and data analysts, you'll learn how data can be either the source of data journalism or a tool with which the story is told—or both.

Journalists! Upgrade Yourselves!!
By Pasan Wijesinghe
from Sri Lanka
About Me Student
Comments about oreilly The Data Journalism Handbook:
This is a handbook. It is in the name itself. It is a handbook for journalists who want to be journalists for the rest of their career. Journalists who are not willing to adapt for the new era of data journalism should probably start looking for some other career.Being a short read and taking a scenario based approach, the book defines what data journalism means to a journalist. The 'articles' expected by today's readers are not mere text filled with your own judgment and explanations. They want it to be both interactive and 'well-nourished' with a vast amount of data presented in a digestible format.The authors explain how to be the journalist in the modern press room. Being able to write, does not ensure your success. Not even your survival.*You need to have the overall idea of how the data is presented to the audience(charts/infographics/animations/virtual tours)*You should be able to get what you want from the 'hackers'. I like the part they say first go to the IT department and make friends with some guys there!*You need to have basic computer skills like Excel and Google Docs. A little Python/Perl will be an added advantage.That's how this book helps a journalist. There is another side. Data journalism provides opportunities to the hacker(with a sense of what's happening around!) too. Read this handbook to understand how to be that IT guy who is a sensation in the media department!I'm Reviewing this product under O'reilly Blogger Review Program
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Inspiring Examples and case studies.
By Paras
from Dallas, TX
About Me Designer, Developer
Earlier, I had shared an insight from the Book with you, Here it is: "World has changed, from what's NEW to "what does it all Mean" – This means that Professionals who focus on reporting "what's new" would soon be "out of job". And they should start equip themselves with Analytics skills that helps them uncover insights from all the news around us and help us all make sense of information that's all around us.To that end, The book "Data Journalism" is a great inspiration for Journalist and it seems it's meant to encourage journalist to start embracing the change. It inspires Journalists to think of stories and find data about it. So what's it for Data Geeks? It encourages Data Geeks to help journalists weave story around the data that they found. The book also outlines resources that Data Geeks could use.Now, Two things I really Liked about the book:1. Examples & case-studies, Lots of them! very inspiring!2. I came to know about Tools that I didn't knew about before. I am going to use them!You can read the book online (web version) for free here: http://datajournalismhandbook.org/

La revancha de Mycroft
By DGGONZALEZ
from Buenos Aires, Argentina
En la obra de Conan Doyle Mycroft Holmes era mucho más inteligente que su hermano pero en lugar de dedicarse a perseguir al crímen recopilaba y analizaba datos de diferentes orígenes para beneficio del gobierno británico. Este libro reivindíca el rol de los "Mycrofts" del periodismo quienes en lugar de salir a buscar noticias las generan utilizando las nuevas tecnologías y los datos disponibles de diversas fuentes.Resultado de un seminario de 48 hras en Londres, el texto comienza analizando que es el periodismo de datos y su rol dentro del periodísmo en general, a continuación pone ejemplos de su utilización en medios electronicos e impresos para luego dedicarse a la obtención, análisis y presentación de los mismos.Merecen destacarse dos aspectos; el que este libro esté disponible bajo licencia Creative Commons y que sea una obra en construcción a la que los lectores pueden aportar sus experiencias

Catching an Emerging Trend
By shawnday
from Ballsbridge, Ireland
About Me Designer, Developer, Educator
This early release version of the Data Journalism Handbook extends beyond the realms of 'journalism' as it is traditionally defined. This handbook is lavishly illustrated and directs to URLs for further discussion. I found that the questions posed in the ongoing discussion clearly identified and support the handbook form of ongoing discussion rather than a direct narrative. I found that this worked for me and I tended to move back and forth through the handbook attracted to specific questions and consumed the book piecemeal. I expect most people will find this the most useful way to consume it. As it is an assemblage of contributions from a wide ranging group, the style of prose does tend to vary somewhat between sections, but I am struck that it lends a surprising freshness. Most importunely, this handbook is very comprehensive and current. As with any of these printed works in emerging fields the challenge will be to keep it current over time, but I have sense that this one in particular will age well due to its richly diverse sourcing and reflection.

What look to be official photos of the MV Agusta F4 RC have leaked out onto the internet, along with a slide from MV Agusta's media presentation on the machine. The photos give us our first glimpse into Varese's homologation special, complete with a special two-can exhaust by Termignoni.
The leaked slide confirms some of the numbers being thrown around about the F4 RC, namely that it will have 212hp, 81.86 lbs•ft of torque, weigh 175kg dry, and cost €36,900 (we already know that the MV Agusta F4 RC will cost $46,000 in the USA).

Bible Commentaries
David Guzik Commentary on the Bible
Luke 10
Verses 1-42
Luke 10:1-42 - THE SENDING OF THE SEVENTY
A. Instructing the seventy disciples at their departure.
1. (Luke 10:1-3) Seventy disciples are appointed and sent out.
After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go. Then He said to them, "The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves."
a. After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also: Jesus knew that the time was short before His crucifixion, and that there were still many villages that had not yet heard His message. So, Jesus needs help getting the message out, and He turns to the larger group of His disciples.
i. The harvest is great: This is still true. If we believe that it is but a short time until Jesus comes back, we should make the principles of Jesus' commission to the seventy our own.
b. The laborers are few: This means not only that there needs to be more workers, but that we have to be about our work for the Lord. When there is a lot of work and few workers, you have to get busy.
c. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest: Jesus commands them to pray; the work in front of them is great and cannot be accomplished without much prayer.
d. Go your way: Jesus commands them to go, because God will use them to answer their own prayers.
e. I send you out as lambs among wolves: Jesus commands them to go with a certain kind of heart, that trusts in God and doesn't seek to abuse and manipulate people. Going as lambs among wolves doesn't sound very attractive to us! Yet, it is exactly as Jesus was sent, and how the power of God worked through Him mightily.
2. (Luke 10:4-8) Specific guidelines for their ministry.
"Carry neither money bag, knapsack, nor sandals; and greet no one along the road. But whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace to this house.' And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; if not, it will return to you. And remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house. Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you."
a. After Jesus got them praying, after He got them going; and after He put their hearts in the right place, He next gives them specific instructions for ministry. They were not to be distracted either by material concerns (Carry neither money bag, sack, nor sandals) or by tedious ceremonies of etiquette (greet no one along the road).
b. And remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give: They were to trust that God would provide for them through the generosity of others, and they were to thankfully receive what was offered to them.
i. For the laborer is worthy of his wages: Jesus told His disciples to not regard the support given to them as charity, but as justified payment for their work on behalf of God's kingdom.
3. (Luke 10:9) What Jesus wanted the seventy to do: to heal and to preach.
"And heal the sick there, and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.'"
a. And heal the sick: The healing was important because it showed that though the Kingdom of God was coming with power (as everyone expected it would), and the power would be shown in acts of mercy and kindness (which was not expected).
b. Say to them, "The kingdom of God has come near to you": this means that the healing was a part of their preaching; they would then describe what the kingdom of God was all about, from what Jesus had taught and shown them.
4. (Luke 10:10-16) What would happen to those who would reject the message of the seventy.
"But whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, 'The very dust of your city which clings to us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.' But I say to you that it will be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that city. Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades. He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me."
a. The very dust of your city which clings to us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near you: When we truly preach Jesus' message, and do what Jesus did, we can trust that if we are rejected, it is because they reject the message of Jesus instead of rejecting us.
i. Unfortunately, sometimes through our own obnoxious manner or lack of love, people reject Jesus because of us. This should never be the case.
b. Sodom . . . Tyre and Sidon: These were each notoriously sinful cities. Jesus says that the cities that reject His message are in more trouble before God, because they have seen a greater work of God than any of those sinful cities did, yet they still reject Him.
i. The more we hear God's truth, and the more we see Him move, the more we are accountable for. Since the people of Chorazin and Bethsaida and Capernaum had received such convincing signs, they are held to greater account for what they have seen.
ii. The Bible never specifically mentions Jesus' miracles in Chorazin. This is an indication that the gospels are sketches of Jesus' life, not full biographies. The Apostle John admitted this, saying it would be impossible to recount everything Jesus did (John 21:25).
B. Joy at the return of the Seventy.
1. (Luke 10:17-20) The joy of the seventy and Jesus' warning.
Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name." And He said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven."
a. Even the demons are subject to us in Your name: When we look carefully at the commission Jesus gave these seventy (Luke 10:9), we see that Jesus had not originally commissioned them to cast out demons (as He did the twelve disciples in Luke 9:1-2). Therefore, this was an unexpected blessing of their ministry.
i. When we step out and do what Jesus tells us to do, we should expect that He would bless us with even more than He told us to expect.
b. I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven: What is Jesus talking about? The Bible actually mentions four falls of Satan.
i. From glorified to profane (Ezekiel 28:14-16).
ii. From having access to heaven (Job 1:12, 1 Kings 22:21, Zechariah 3:1) to restriction to the earth (Revelation 12:9).
iii. From the earth to bondage in the bottomless pit for 1,000 years (Revelation 20:1-3).
iv. From the pit to the lake of fire (Revelation 20:10).
c. Here, Jesus speaks of Satan's "first" fall, from glorified to profane. What Jesus just saw in the disciples was evidence that Satan had already lost his position of power. He is a conquered enemy, and when we act in the name of Jesus, victory is assured.
d. In remembering the fall of Satan, Jesus also warns them against pride. After all, if Satan could fall like lightning from his place of high spiritual status and privilege, so could they.
e. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you: Jesus then warns them to rejoice in what God has done for them (because your names are written in heaven), not in what they had done for God (that the spirits are subject to you).
i. Some people get "drunk" on the idea of spiritual power. After God uses them in some way, they have an arrogance that is very impressed with all they do for God. God wants us to always see that what He has done for us always is far greater than what we could ever do for Him.
2. (Luke 10:21-22) The joy of Jesus as He sees the work of God in His people.
In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him."
a. In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit: Jesus is genuinely excited here. Literally, the ancient Greek says He was thrilled with joy. God delights in using the weak and foolish things of this world to confound the wise (1 Corinthians 1:27-29).
i. Geldenhuys says that the ancient Greek word for rejoiced is "referring to exceptional rejoicing and exultation."
b. I thank You, Father: Jesus' joy makes Him break out into prayer. He praises God the Father for His wisdom, for His plan, and for His own unique relationship with God the Father.
c. In this prayer, Jesus highlights:
o His unity with the Father (All things have been delivered to Me by My Father).
o His special relationship with the Father (no one knows who the Son is but the Father, and who the Father is but the Son).
o How God allows us to have some part in that special relationship (and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him).
3. (Luke 10:23-24) Jesus tells the disciples of the unique blessing they have.
Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see; for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it."
a. Many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it: How the great men of the Old Testament would have longed to see Jesus' ministry and to minister for Him! How David would have loved to see Jesus do the things He did, and how Isaiah would have longed to hear what Jesus said! We have these privileges, but they did not.
C. Summary of the work of the Seventy: how we go forth with the gospel.
1. The harvest is great: We do the work knowing how big the job is.
2. The laborers are few: We do the work knowing that we have a key job.
3. Pray the Lord of the harvest: We do the work with a lot of prayer.
4. Go your way: We are to actually go and do the work.
5. Like lambs among wolves: We do the work making ourselves vulnerable, letting God be our strength.
6. Carry neither: We do the work without reliance upon anything except the gospel and power of God.
7. Greet no one: We do the work not allowing social obligations to hinder our work.
8. Whatever house you enter: We do the work expecting that God will bring help and provision.
9. Eating and drinking such things as they give: We do the work not being hung up on minor points.
10. Heal the sick: We do the work looking to minister to the whole person with the power of God.
11. Say to them, "The kingdom of God has come near to you": We do the work preaching that the King and His kingdom are here.
12. But whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets: As we do the work, we don't waste our time on those who are rejecting the gospel.
13. He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me: We do the work remembering whom we represent.
14. The seventy returned with joy: We do the work expecting God to do more than we expect.
15. Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit: We do the work knowing that Jesus has so much joy when we do His work.
D. The story of the Good Samaritan.
1. (Luke 10:25-29) A lawyer asks a question.
And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" He said to him, "What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?" So he answered and said, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,' and 'your neighbor as yourself.'" And He said to him, "You have answered rightly; do this and you will live." But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
a. A certain lawyer stood up and tested Him: The lawyer (an expert in the Jewish Mosaic and rabbinical law) tested Jesus. The idea behind the ancient Greek word for tested isn't necessarily mean or evil. This may have been a sincere question from a sincere seeker.
b. What shall I do to inherit eternal life? Eternal life, in the Biblical understanding of the idea, doesn't refer to duration of life, because every person is immortal, either in heaven or hell). It doesn't refer to a life that begins when we die. Eternal life is a particular quality of life, a life that comes from God, a life we can have right now.
c. Jesus points the lawyer back to What is written in the law. If the question is what shall I do to inherit eternal life, the answer is simple: keep the law of God, and keep it perfectly.
d. "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind," and "your neighbor as yourself": The lawyer was wise enough to know this is the essence of the law. Now all the man has to do is to live it: do this and you will live.
i. It is clear enough what it means to love God with all we are, though it is exceeding difficult to do. But there has been much confusion about what it means to love your neighbor as yourself. This doesn't mean that we must love ourselves before we can love anyone else; it means that in the same way we take care of ourselves and are concerned about our own interests, we should take care and have concern for the interests of others.
e. But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" The lawyer measured himself against both commands. He figured that he obeyed the first command well enough, but his keeping of the second commandment depended on how you defined neighbor.
i. His first and perhaps greatest mistake was in assuming that he had fulfilled the first commandment. When we really consider what the words mean, who among us has loved God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind? It is easy for us to be distracted in any one of these areas even when we worship God, much less in our daily living.
ii. His second mistake was in thinking that he could fulfil the commandment to love God with all he had and still possibly not fulfil the command to love his neighbor. If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also. (1 John 4:20-21)
iii. His third mistake was in the way that he wanted to narrowly define neighbor. If only our friends and those who are easy to love are our neighbors, then perhaps this man fulfills it. It all depends on how broad the definition is. The Jews in Jesus' day did believe that you had to love your neighbor; but they also taught that it was a duty before God to hate your enemy. It all depends on who your neighbor is and who your enemy is.
2. (Luke 10:30-35) Jesus defines neighbor with an illustration.
Then Jesus answered and said: "A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion. So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.'"
a. A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves: The road from Jerusalem to Jericho was infamous for crime and muggings. It wasn't surprising to Jesus' listeners that He set the story on this particular road.
b. Now by chance a certain priest came down that road: The priest and the Levite (both categories of religious officials) see their Jewish brother lying in his terrible state. But neither of them do anything. They both passed by on the other side.
i. Think of all the excuses that they could have used:
o "This road is too dangerous for me to stop and help the man."
o "He might be a decoy for an ambush."
o "I've got to get to the temple and perform my service for the Lord."
o "I've got to get home and see my family."
o "Someone really should help that man."
o "If I'm going to serve at the temple I can't get my clothes bloody."
o "I don't know first aid."
o "It's a hopeless case."
o "I'm only one person; the job is too big."
o "I can pray for him."
o "He brought it on himself, he should have never been alone on such a dangerous road."
o "He never asked for help"
ii. But all of these are simply excuses. "I never knew a man refuse to help the poor who failed to give at least one admirable excuse." (Spurgeon)
c. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion: When Jesus' listeners heard about the priest and the Levite, the probably expected Jesus to say that a common Jewish man came and helped, that the story would be another way Jesus showed the corruption of the religious leaders were in his day. But Jesus shocks them by saying that the man who helped was a Samaritan.
d. What was special about a Samaritan? Generally speaking, Jews and Samaritans despised each other both racially and religiously. The culture gave the Samaritan plenty of reasons to hate this Jewish man and pass him by.
i. Some rabbis taught that a Jew was forbidden to help a Gentile woman who was in distress giving birth; because if they succeeded, all they did was to help one more Gentile come into the world. They often thought that Samaritans were worse than other Gentiles were.
e. He had compassion. So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him: Instead of passing by, the Samaritan loved him with a sacrificial love. He didn't wait to be asked, for to see the need right in front of him was enough to compel him to action. He also gave freely of both his time and his resources.
i. The wine, containing alcohol, had an antiseptic effect on the man's wounds. The oil would help to soothe the wounds, easing the pain. To set him on his own animal means that the Samaritan himself walked.
ii. He took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper: It seems that two denarii would have provided for the man's needs in the inn for at least two or three weeks.
3. (Luke 10:36-37) Jesus applies the parable.
"So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?" And he said, "He who showed mercy on him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."
a. Which of these three do you think was neighbor: According to the thinking of the day, the priest and the Levite were neighbor to the man who had been mugged. But they didn't act like neighbors at all.
b. He who showed mercy on him: The lawyer can't even bring himself to say the name "Samaritan" was true neighbor to the hurting man. We might have expected to be an enemy, but he was instead a neighbor, the one who showed mercy on him.
i. Obviously, the lawyer knew that he could no longer justify himself. He did not have this kind of love, a love that would go beyond what he wanted to think of as "neighbor."
c. Go and do likewise: So, who is my neighbor? Who is the one I have to love? My neighbor is he one who others might consider my enemy. My neighbor is the one with a need right in front of me.
i. This doesn't mean running after every need that might present itself. After all, the Samaritan didn't establish a hospital for unfortunate travelers. But it does mean a concern for the ones plain before us, in both social and spiritual needs.
ii. "The world would be a changed place if every Christian attended to the sorrows that are plain before him." (Maclaren)
4. What if you don't have this kind of love, either for God or for man?
a. Then you must stop trying to inherit life by doing. Instead, believe on Jesus; trust God that Jesus paid the penalty you deserve for every time you have fallen short of loving God or loving others the way you should.
b. When you receive eternal life - God's kind of life in you - God will give you the resources to love Him and other people as you should. You can't do it apart from having His life in you.
i. "Let it never be forgotten that what the law demands of us the gospel really produces in us." (Spurgeon)
E. Mary and Martha.
1. (Luke 10:38-40) Martha's appeal to Jesus.
Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word. But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me."
a. A certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house: Martha and Mary, along with their brother Lazarus, were two dear friends of Jesus who lived in Bethany. You can imagine how Martha wanted everything perfect when Jesus came to visit!
b. Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word: Martha didn't get the help she wanted from her sister Mary. It wasn't that Mary was lazy - she prepared as well as Martha, but she also sat at Jesus' feet.
c. Martha was distracted with much serving: Martha did nothing wrong in working hard for Jesus - that was good. Her problem was that she became distracted with much serving. Distracted from whom? Distracted from Jesus.
i. There are many people who become crabby and irritable in their service for the Lord like Martha. It is easy to look at all we do and to criticize those who aren't doing as much. But Martha's real problem wasn't Mary; it was Martha. She had become distracted and had taken her eyes off Jesus.
ii. Martha's frustration is typical of those who diligently serve with good intent, but forget to also sit at Jesus' feet.
2. (Luke 10:41-42) Jesus' reply to Martha.
And Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her."
a. Martha, Martha: We can almost read the love in Jesus' voice as He says this! Martha did good - she wanted to serve Jesus! But she had not added the one thing [that] is needed.
i. One thing have I desired of the Lord, that I will seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple. (Psalms 27:4)
ii. When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, "You still lack one thing . . . come, follow Me." (Luke 18:22)
iii. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13-14)
b. This story shows us three types of Christians.
i. There are people like Mary: Those who know how to serve and also sit at Jesus' feet.
ii. There are people like Martha: Those who diligently, and with the best intention serve God, but without adding the one thing - a continued focus on Jesus - and it results in great frustration.
iii. There are people who aren't doing either. They are not even in the house with Jesus, for they are too busy with their own pursuits.

The prevalence of ticks infected with the Lyme disease–causing spirochete (Borrelia burgdorferi) is greater in areas with Japanese barberry than areas without. "Deer eat everything but barberry, and because they don't eat barberry, they're weeding out forests. They're helping promote the invasive species," explains Jeff Ward, chief scientist for the Department of Forestry and Horticulture at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES).
