Superior technology
Instead of going deep into politics and sales speeches, I decided to approach this from a technical perspective. Keeping things simple and concrete, here's one example UI implemented in few hours with Qt Quick & QML Scene Graph:
Please spend a bit time looking at what is really happening in there: wave, colorize, fading, water, text highlight... This is ~300 lines of QML + GLSL, performing smoothly on good ol' N900 hardware. Same can not be done using WP7 Silverlight & XAML, period.
Qt is still the best platform for "mobile phones" and we have also here good ingredients for the "future disruption" like Nokia management has outlined. But technology is nothing without a community (a.k.a. "ecosystem"), so question is that are we going to continue the work and do it? While you think about that, I'll continue hacking with my superior technology! =)

I think no one of us Qt-fellowers doubts that Qt is the superior technology.
But as you said (more or less) - the growth of the community was just brought to an 180° turning point.
For now, at least everyone that hoped for some revenue from Qt mobile development has crushed dreams and it's clear that _if at all_, it will take at least 3-4 years to see another try for a big "Qt-device".
So while I am sure the OSS community around the N900 will keep producing some nice little demo-effects and KDE will live on "forever", we'll have to see about the rest....

Nice! Brings back memories from the good old days. Time to replace the default music player of N900 with that.

Anonymous: Good comment! Obviously this is a set back to us Qt-believers... But at least I see still a lot of possibilities. Nokia has estimated to have over 200 million Qt&QML capable symbian phones out there during this & next year. Even if this wouldn't fully materialize, there is still plenty of revenue possibilities. And MeeGo devices start appearing during this year from Nokia, Intel and other players, all powered by Qt.
Nokia decided to go with Microsoft in smart phones and that's fine, I hope together they can fight against androids. In my opinion Qt has currently superior technology, medium (size, not quality!) community and smallish ecosystem. There is a war of ecosystems and we should stick behind & build ours to be winners. I kinda like being behind an underdog right now and doing Nelson Muntz "haha" when we decide to cause the disruption ;-)

going for windows is a step back.
android, iOS, wp7 dont have real multitasking.
its sad cuz other webOS only platform that have it
were maemo, meego and symbian x 3
- February 21, 2011 at 11:31 AM
I say it this way:
If developers stop use the Qt:s "Ecosystem", you just play Microsofts game!
If devs prefer NET well fine for me but if you still like Qt dont stop develop cause The boards says soo.
Cause thats what Microsoft wants to happen! The only winner to abandon Qt is Microsoft. Dont say Nokia wins on this they gave invested lots of money in it.
Microsoft want Qt to fail. I am far from an bussiness expert and people may call me troll I dont care. But still do you people belive Nokia will abandon Meego if they get a hell lot of apps for S^3 and Meego?
I dont think so! Ofcousrse Microsoft wants this too happen. If people stop dev apps for S^3/Meego no one will buy the phones. Means Nokia loosing even more stockholders and at the end Microsoft buys Nokia.
Personally I dislike that. I am not that kind of person that is "Stallman fanatic". I would'nt mind if Nokia still cooperate with Microsoft but the way it is now where Microsoft seems to "dictate" the rules for Nokia I am not intrested. But I prefer too fight back in some way by still support Qt and doint get scared away cause the board try to do so...
There is two way for developers too go:
1. If wou like Qt keep write apps dont take Elop too serious, cause I will not. Its just Bussiness they may redecide if devs still want too use Qt! More apps more phones...
2. If you prefer Microsoft .NET well use that instead.
The third opion is too get scared away but if soo you prefer number 2...
- February 21, 2011 at 9:48 PM
I would be very clad, if I could install this kind of software on my n900 to show everyone that _the phone_ is better than any other. It would be super to be able to convice everyone.
If you only have any QML demos, just let us know!
- February 21, 2011 at 10:52 PM
Cool apps… but…
I want to use Qype's apps, or Gowalla official apps, or Tumblr, or Tapatalk forum, Simeji, etc, etc.
Asking the creators of those application to release version using Qt that runs in Maemo and Meego seems to be futile attempt cause they wont bother (for example Tapatalk, had a number of topics requesting N900 version and got all ignored).
There is that great suggestion that you shouldn't torture yourself and just use the product that fit your needs right now.
So what if, the majority of money go to iPhone even though it's inferior because it has what they need. If so, why they (the wallets that company cares) should force themselves using platform that force them to live with the limitation that they feel is significant?
Android quickly build that library of functionality and become viable alternative to iPhone that larger developers could bother to spend their time even though it means learning different platform; but MeeGo ?
Lets just forget WP7 for now. :D
That's from consumer PoV though, so it does seems odd in the developer's debate.

Thanks for all comments!
Some time ago it was enough to have a small set of pre-installed applications and a browser to seek for more content. Now mobile application markets have exploded and healthy application ecosystem is a must.
What I can say is that with Qt & QML:
1) Implementing applications is easier than before, muuuch easier than with old symbian libraries
2) It's possible to reach new user experience with animations & effects
3) Same code works in symbian devices, MeeGo devices (phones, tablets, netbooks, IVI etc.) and in desktops with several operating systems. Although personally I would share the application logic between these and customize QML UIs to suit the target needs.
Technology is there, getting Qt versions of apps is up to companies & developers and having a healthy community plays a big role in here.

Sorry kaitsu, as a (former?) Qt developer I have to say the technology is not there yet. While developing QWidget-based apps is fast and straightforward, you just cannot do some of the more adanced UI features. That's where QML comes in. On the other hand, I have to read a tutorial with a 50 line QML file on how to implement a button. In what warped universe is that easy to develop? The QML UI components are not even released yet, you simply have no way to rapidly build native user interfaces with QML. That's why Nokia decided to ditch Qt/QML, I think.
I don't really care about wonderful animation effects if I have to hand-code my UI elements from some extremely low level primitives. And it doesn't help that just one year ago, QWidget-based UIs were supposed to be the way to develop cross-platform mobile apps.
- February 22, 2011 at 2:12 PM
- Kaitsu said...
Stephan: You are absolutely right, QML common components are not there yet. I'm so used to building fully customised QML UIs and reusing own components that this hasn't been an issue for me, but it's definitely required when building native looking applications to any platform. Official story is Qt-components (http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-components) to provide the common API, theming and a reference implementation of core components and I'm sure there will be more components to come.

Crownsville author writes to end hatred
Denis Murray wants to put his two cents on the table. After 70 years of reading and thinking and thinking and reading, he believes that death, hate and responsibility are gifts we should appreciate.
"If it weren't for death," Murray explains, "we wouldn't appreciate life. If it weren't for hate, we would be bystanders in life. With hate comes the choice of hope, a choice that can offer meaning in our lives. And responsibility gives us the need to exert ourselves to sustain life."
He's written Pointing At Awe, In Three Tries to conceptualize the human unconscious. You cannot put your unconscious into words, but we all share it, says Murray, who will be signing books at the Annapolis Book Store August 11 at 3pm.
"Unconsciousness is real and we live from it intuitively. It's how our species has thrived," he told Bay Weekly.
What scares people and leads to conflict, he says, is hearing words that don't match what we understand.
Fear has interested Murray since childhood, when he saw how evolution scared people.
"Adam and Eve made sense to a lot of people and made people comfortable. Evolution pulled the platform from underneath them," he says. Murray argues that these theories not only don't contradict each other but also actually help explain one another.
He puts his two cents on the table, he says, in hopes of saving all of us from going nuclear. By seeing what we have in common, we can tame the hate for the things we fear and don't understand. Or so he hopes.
That's awe.

Wisdom tells us your body is a temple, and wise women keep their temple clean with Tiny Tea.Traditionally my ingredients have been used to assist with:
Wulong Cha (oolong tea), Shan Zha (Hawthorn Fruit), Mai Ya (Barley Sprout), Chen Pi (Tangerine Peel), Jue Ming Zi (Foetid Cassia Seeds), Lai Fu Zi (Radish), He Ye (Lotus Leaf).
According to Dr Nat TCM, the magical blend of the Tiny Tea Teatox is based upon Traditional Chinese Medicine principles with delicately balanced herbs that are designed to nourish and cleanse the digestive system.
In Chinese Medicine, the digestive system is the pivot of health. Nourishing this will allow your body to achieve optimum physical, aesthetic, and emotional health.
14 day Tiny Tea Teatox aims to restore your body back to its original health before modern day lifestyles, sugars, fats, stress, inactivity and emotions took a toll on it. Tiny Tea Teatox works best in conjunction with a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
Dr Nat TCM explains that, indirectly, Tiny Tea Teatox may assist you to shed excess weight simply by restoring your system to a point where it functions effectively.
Many of our customers report weight loss and some quite significantly so. From our perspective, achieving an optimum weight should come from an overall positive approach to health. Our Tiny Tea Teatox helps the body to function properly, when it's working at its most efficient, we see a reduction in excess weight.
Here at Your Tea, we believe that striving for optimum health should be an important aspect of everyday life. We only have one body - so it is your prerogative to look after, nourish and replenish yours so it can carry you through this life safely, peacefully and with longevity.
According to Dr. Nat TCM, the ingredients of Tiny Tea Teatox are designed to maximise digestion and gut functionality in your body.
From a TCM view point, we refer to the 'gut' as the spleen and stomach – and the relationship these two have with each other is what makes the magic of digestion happen. So the stomach is the 'pit' that the food arrives into and the spleen is like the organ that assimilates foods, draws out the essentials, sends the nutrients around the body to nourish and heal and the bad out to the bowel as waste.
When this is all happening smoothly, the body is happy. It assists in keeping our weight in check too because if the bad is being sent out as waste, toxins can't build up in our body. When this system of the body isn't working properly one of the things we can see is bloating or discomfort after eating.
It's important to be reminded that food intolerances are different to food we may be allergic to. An allergic reaction is generally quite severe, and sometimes life-threatening. An intolerance simply means that in this moment your body can't process what you're feeding it.
Dr Nat TCM explains, the best way to approach any intolerance is actually with the 'like treats like' approach. What you are intolerant to soon becomes your superpower because it can tell us a little of what is truly going on.
Symptoms of food intolerance may start simple – bloating, upset bowels and sometimes nausea, all of which begin to happen when your digestive systems is struggling to do its job properly. This is generally amplified by foods we find difficult to digest. The main offenders being gluten, dairy, and sugar. Perhaps you were born with compromised gut health (we immediately inherit our mother's gut health at conception and birth), or other factors during your lifetime like the pill, antibiotics or other medications have contributed. In any case, sub-average gut health lies at the core of why we experience intolerances.
Shan Zha is a common and very useful, gentle herb used in Chinese Medicine to assist in moving food through the digestive system, indicated where there is bloating and pain.
Dr Nat TCM tells us, from a Chinese Medicine perspective, skin ailments such as acne, pimples, blackheads, rashes, eczema, psoriasis etc are all external indications of internal imbalances. As our Tiny Tea Teatox clears out the body of imbalances, toxins and waste, you will often see your skin ailments clear up as a direct result of completing our Tiny Tea Teatox. Remember, if the body doesn't have anything to reject internally, it can't eject anything externally.
Tiny Tea Teatox is not a laxative, therefore it won't affect your pill/implant.
However, in the rare case that you have an adverse reaction, then Tiny Teatox can have an impact on the accuracy of the pill if taken within 4 hours of experiencing diarrhoea or vomiting (only in an event of an allergic reaction).
You can maintain your normal exercise routine.
Tiny Tea Teatox is safe for almost all women.
For the young, elderly or those recovering from serious illness, whilst it isn't contraindicated, it's important to consult your healthcare professional before commencing Tiny Tea Teatox. If you're under the age of 15 we recommend seeking parental permission.
We recommend that you DO NOT take Tiny Tea Teatox whilst pregnant, purely because we believe in leaving health up to nature at this special point in time. Though, for those who are trying to conceive – cleansing can be part of the winning formula in increasing hormone function and fertility.
Due to the inclusion of barley, Tiny Tea Teatox isn't recommended for breastfeeding woman. This is because barley may dry up breast milk, once you have finished breastfeeding you can start Tiny Tea Teatox immediately.
Tiny Tea Teatox is a program designed to be consumed consecutively over 28 days. It can be used up to 56 days in a row (2 x 28 day Tiny Tea Teatoxes).
We recommend to then go on a 2 week break to let your body fall into a rhythm of its own. Following this, you can continue on.
However, you should find that your digestive system will be replenished by this point and you may not need to continue. In this case, we recommend you to k eep a 14 day Tiny Tea in your tea collection for those specific days when you're feeling a little bloated, sluggish or tired. One cup of Tiny Tea should help shake this off.
Drink Tiny Tea 3 times a day, 30 minutes before or after meals. The three times are morning, midday and early evening.
Soak 1 bag in a cup of boiling water for 5-7 minutes at a time.
Avoid drinking me with meals or late at night.
Hot tip: Feel free to add a squeeze of lemon or dash of honey.

Gary Wayne Coleman (February 8, 1968 – May 28, 2010) was an American actor, known for his childhood role as Arnold Jackson in the American sitcom Diff'rent Strokes (1978–1986) and for his small stature as an adult. He was described in the 1980s as "one of television's most promising stars." After a successful childhood acting career, Coleman struggled financially later in life. In 1989, he successfully sued his parents and business adviser over misappropriation of his assets.
Coleman was born in Zion, Illinois. He was adopted by Edmonia Sue and W.G. Coleman, a nurse practitioner and fork-lift operator, respectively. He suffered from focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, an autoimmune kidney disease. Because of his chronic illness, combined with the corticosteroids and other medications used to treat it, his growth was limited to 4 ft 8 in (1.42 m), and his face retained a childlike appearance well into adulthood. He underwent two unsuccessful kidney transplants in 1973 and 1984, and required daily dialysis.
While best known for his role on Diff'rent Strokes, Coleman had appeared earlier on in television in The Jeffersons and on Good Times as Penny's friend Gary. He also appeared in a 1978 pilot for a revival of The Little Rascals as Stymie. VH1 rated Coleman first on a list of "100 Greatest Child Stars" on television.

March 27, 2013
The history of Wabash is long and full of interesting stories. It is through the stories of alumni that the history of Wabash is passed from generation to generation. For over 180 years the men of Wabash have left this campus and, as alums, have returned. Many things in our world have changed. Yet, as the excerpts below will show, the love that Wabash men have for their old college is timeless.
For this month's piece we have the words of an early graduate, John Maxwell Cowan of the Wabash class of 1842. From a speech given at the celebration of Founder's Day in 1902. Cowan was then the oldest living alumnus. The title of his speech was Some Reminiscences and he begins with quite a good description of the building that we now call Forest Hall. Thanks to David Newhart of the class of 2015 for this typescript. –
I have been requested by Dr. Kane to give some reminiscences of the early days, and men, of "Old Wabash" as she was at the time of my student life in the early 40's.
Purchased by Caleb Mills, Forest Hall was then taken apart and moved to the "new campus" where it stood on the site of the future Sparks Center.
The first building was erected on a tract of land donated by Judge Williamson Dunn, afterwards, one of the chief benefactors of Hanover College. The ground was some distance northwest of the town, not far from Sugar Creek. No wagon road passed nearer than one or two hundred yards north of the building.
The western limits of the town extended to what is now called Grant Ave. west of all that was native forest, except a small place a short distance West of this Avenue on Main Street, where Nathaniel Dunn had his residence and tan yard; there were also other small clearings being opened up.
The students who lived or boarded in town followed a path which passed through the forest, crossing over two or three rail fences before reaching the College building. The money to erect it was no doubt raised in the east, as it would have been impossible to have raised it for such a purpose in the West. The building was frame, unpainted, three stories high including the basement. From the front facing South, where we entered, it was apparently only two stories, the ground sloping gently to the North, so the front entrance was on a level with the ground, while at the North it opened from basement, also on a level with the ground.
The basement was wholly occupied as a residence for the Janitor's family, who cared for the building and boarded the students, occupying the few rooms not used for Chapel and recitations.
As I remember, there were three student rooms on the second and third stories. The chapel occupied the East half, less hall room, of the story above the basement. The Southwest corner was President Baldwin's recitation room. The Chapel was used by Prof. Mills, and the Southeast and Southwest rooms upstairs by Profs. Hovey and Thomson. This arrangement continued until the removal to the new building on the present site.
In the rest of the speech Cowan describes various professors and classmates and closes his lengthy remarks with these timeless thoughts...
Often, in quiet hours, I live over the past. I am again a boy, just entering college, and for the first time meeting my classmates and teachers. I am again with classmates and student friends on the campus, engaged in the sports of youthful days, with them in debate and exercises in Society hall, with them in the Chapel at the morning hour of prayer, with them in recitation rooms receiving the instructions of our teachers, and finally, on graduation day speaking from the rostrum of the "Aspirations of Youth", and bidding farewell to classmates and teachers. I am with classmates, receiving the hand of our president, our diplomas, each of us with youthful hopes—parting, each to act his part in the drama of life.
The scene changes. Many years have passed. I am now an old man and age is reckoning. Nevermore in this world shall I see the faces or hear the voices of my classmates or teachers; they have all passed on, but with reverent faith and trust I hope to meet them, with all other friends, in that world where life is real and eternal.
Whether I shall be permitted, again, to visit my Alma Mater, I know not, but whether present or absent, my warmest affection goes out to her, and the best that I can wish for her is that prosperity and growth may continue in the future as in the past. That her halls may be filled with students receiving that instruction that shall fully equip them mentally, morally and physically, for all the duties of life and good citizenship.

It's National Dump Your Significant Jerk Week, or as I like to call it, Dump Week. That's right, folks, it's time to get out now before you have to spend another Valentines' Day shelling out the dough for over-priced chocolates and stuffed animals!
And really, what better way is there to end a romantic entanglement than with CAKE?
Now your ex can drown his sorrows in beer and buttercream. Unless he's out of beer. Or hates cake. In which case, this cake is PERFECT.
For some reason I get this one a lot. You know, from you readers. It's usually followed by a "I promise I'm not a stalker," and a request for my home address. (No joke.)
If you prefer a more subtle route, there's also this option:
"Allow me to point out that the arrow pointing to the representation of the amount of my love is actually larger than the representation of the amount of my actual love.
"If you're not getting this, I've also prepared a pie chart. On a pie."
Then there are all the old standbys:
If I find a jam filling, I am OUTTA HERE.
Thanks to Sarah H., Kjaere, Lesley M., Birdy, Olivia C., and Erin W., who will always hold a special place in my heart, and we'll always be friends, but I'm at a really complicated place right now and just need some time to think about who I am, you know?

With spring in unusually (at least in Monticello) April full bloom, spring sports are in full tilt boogie.
Monticello golf teams, both boys and girls are enjoying the better-shape-than-ever-in-April Hideout golf course and posting some impressive scores.
Tanner Eardley, Chase Doucet, Jonah Cafferty, Jens Brewer, Adam Black and Derek Ramsay have steadily improved their scores this season and look to be a force in the region and 1A state tournaments. Eardley is currently ranked number one in the region.
The Buckaroos won their own tournament last week with impressive scores. Eardley, Doucet and Cafferty all shot personal bests as the Bucks lowered their stroke score to a low 345, good enough to win state last year by 10 shots, I believe.
Eardley was medalist with a 75, Doucet shot an 80, which beat his previous best by 15 strokes and Cafferty came in a with a fine 84. Ramsay, Black, and Brewer rounded out the scores with 106, 107, and 108, respectively.
The girls team, with three members, Jamie Keyes, Swayzi Slade and Katie Boyle are all improving on their scores as well. Nice weather, nice golf course, nice scores, right?
San Juan High hosted the first annual Blue Mountain Invitational track meet on their new track last week.
Grand County won the boys team title with 267 points while San Juan and Monticello tied at 148.
The home team Lady Broncos took the girls team title with 206 points, followed by Grand County with 199 and Monticello with 116.
Sade Kyles, Jade Grover and Ammon Mitchell led the Bronco scoring parade with two wins a piece. Kyles won both the 100m and 200m dashes, Grover captured the long distance runs, the 1600m and 3200m, and Mitchell won the 110m hurdles and long jump, while placing third in the 200m.
Jake Duncan and PJ Leiataua were the only winners for the Buckaroos boys, Jake winning the high jump, with two seconds in the 110 and 300m hurdles and PJ throwing the javelin farther than anyone else. PJ put the shot to a second place finish, too.
Bailey Goodwine brought home the only first place medal for the Buckaroo girls with a win in the 1600m while four more Lady Broncos captured individual wins; Kelly Meyer in the 400m, Cortney Macdonald in the 300 hurdles, Mckale Simpson in the long jump, and Lindsey Christensen in the javelin. Simpson added a second in the high jump and third in the 300 hurdles.
Others that placed in the top three for SJ and MHS were;
• (SJ) Christian Sherrow third in the 800m, Cole Chamberlain, second, 3200m, Simone Shumway second 100m, third 200m, Cortney Macdonald second in 200m, and Delaney Nielson who was second in the long jump.
• (MHS) Brian Robinson second 100m, Jake Duncan second in both 110 and 300 hurdles, Lance Allen third in 110 and 300 hurdles and second in high jump, Justin Wright second in 1600m, Austin Wilcox third in shot put, Zach Johnson third in discus, Ford Welch third in javelin, Cambria Welch second in the 400m, Ashley Hoggard third in both the 800m and 1600 m, Brittany Keith second in 1600m, Elena Mitchell second 3200m. Go to runnercard.com for complete results.
Two of these tracksters, Ammon Mitchell and Lindsey Christensen were named Track Athletes of the Week by the Utah High School Track Coaches Association (UHSTCA) for the week of April 18.
Here are the quotes by UHSTCA: "Small School Male Track Athlete of the Week: Ammon Mitchell, San Juan-San Juan High School's Ammon Mitchell ran a great 110m hurdles in 15.44 at the Carbon Invite this week giving him the win for the meet and also the best mark so far in 2A. He is ranked 4th over all divisions and it will be exciting to see how he performs at the upcoming big invitationals.
Small School Female Field Athlete of the Week: Lindsey Christensen, Sr. San Juan- This week, senior Lindsey Christensen from San Juan High School took home the Athlete of the week with her mark in the Javelin at 120 feet 7 inches. This mark gave her the win at the Carbon High School Farm Bureau Invite and moved her to first place in rankings for the small schools."
In an effort to raise awareness about high school track in Utah, UHSTCA chooses eight athletes each week based on their performances of the week. Go to www.uhstca.weebly.com for more information.
San Juan baseball was 1-2 on the week, losing a tough region contest to Emery, 14-3 and then splitting in NM, losing 6-5 to Bloomfield and beating Piedra Vista 8-5.
Monticello boys also lost to Emery on Friday, 17-4.

The Asian century is rich, restless and already 12 years old. And, of all nations, Australia stands to be profoundly affected by this era of rapid change – whether the region resolves into a golden age of prosperity and human development or collapses in strategic turmoil.
So it is extraordinary that it has taken so long for Australia to come up with a comprehensive and publicly-articulated plan for dealing with the opportunities and challenges of finding itself close to the world's new center of economic and strategic gravity.
The good news is that the Australian Government, under Labor Prime Minister Julia Gillard, has at last done that, launching an ambitious policy white paper titled Australia in the Asian Century on October 28th.Enjoying this article? Click here to subscribe for full access. Just $5 a month.
To understand this project, where it has come from, and where it may take Australia, first consider what an anomalous nation this is. Australia has distinct strengths, but vulnerabilities as well.
It is the only nation to occupy a whole continent, yet that land, while rich in mineral wealth, is largely arid and can sustain only a small population. It is a developed economy and a huge supplier of resources. Its chief trade and investment relationships are all in Asia, or more precisely the wider Indo-Pacific including the United States.
Australia has a special proximity to Asia. With its unique two-ocean geography, it is well-placed for what is increasingly being recognized as an Indo-Pacific era, in which the Asia that matters globally is not only East Asia but India and its maritime environs as well.
Australia has Western cultural origins and alignments which sometimes continue to hamper its image in Asia. It relies increasingly on Asian immigration, especially now from China and India, to ensure its economy and society keep thriving. Over a quarter of Australians were born overseas, making this country truly a nation of immigrants, much more so proportionately than the United States. Australia increasingly – and proudly – wears an Asian face.
It has vast security interests in its territory and maritime zones, yet only a small population – 23 million – and an advanced but small defense force. It is a U.S. ally yet has close economic and increasingly societal ties with China, its top trading partner.
It has a multicultural society with a stable if lively democratic system. And its federal, democratic and partisan style of politics sometimes struggles to marshal and mobilize national capacities and will to deal with new challenges – an exception being its earlier waves of economic reform in the 1980s and 1990s.
Finally, it is fair to say that many Australians – while well-travelled – have tended to be complacent about the rise of Asia and what it means for their economic and strategic future.
Against this muddled backdrop, the new white paper is, if nothing else, a wake-up call. It correctly urges Australia to get its own house in order as a first step towards flourishing in the Asian era, including through a competitive and diversified economy, education, innovation, social cohesion, infrastructure, environmental management, security and diplomacy.

text: Cornea and Anterior Structures Diagnoses The Cornea and Refractive Surgery Service provides comprehensive care to patients with corneal and anterior segment disease, and provides refractive surgery for vision correction. Our specialists in the Comprehensive Ophthalmology Service are in the best position to evaluate, and often treat, common eye disorders in their early stages. If the disease progresses, however, a specialist in corneal medicine and surgery is better able to manage all aspects of the problem. Common disorders of the cornea and anterior chamber (front of the eye) that may be evaluated initially in the Comprehensive Ophthalmology Service or in the Cornea Service: Allergic conditions, which can cause redness, itching, blurry vision and swollen eyelids Blepharitis, an inflammation of the eye lid Cataract, a cloudiness of the normally clear lens of the eye Conjunctivitis, or inflammation of the covering of the eye and inner eye lid Dry eye, in which the quality or amount of tears is compromised, and the eye is unable to keep its surface well lubricated and comfortable Disorders associated with refractive clarity. These disorders may be corrected with a variety of approaches including eyeglasses, contact lenses, surgery and refractive surgery. They include: astigmatism, an uneven curvature of the corneas hyperopia, or farsightedness keratoconus, uneven curvature in the center of the cornea myopia, or nearsightedness Less common disorders of the cornea and anterior chamber may require the attention of a cornea specialist for diagnosis and care. Some of these include: Cornea dystrophies, including Fuchs' endothelial, Lattice and MDF dystrophies Infections (bacterial, viral and fungal), including herpes zoster (shingles), ocular herpes simplex, and others. These infections can reduce visual clarity, produce corneal discharges, and perhaps erode the cornea. Severe corneal infections can lead to corneal scarring, which can impair vision and may require a corneal transplant. Inflammatory disorders with significant eye implications (episcleritis, uveitis) Iridocorneal endothelial syndrome (ICE), in which disorders of the iris and the cornea occur in conjunction with glaucoma Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, a skin disorder that can affect the eyes Pseudophakic Bullous Keratopathy (PBK), a rare complication of cataract surgery Pterygium, a type of growth on the cornea The cornea can be damaged after a foreign object has penetrated the tissue, such as from a poke in the eye. At other times, bacteria or fungi from a contaminated contact lens can pass into the cornea. Situations like these can cause painful inflammation and corneal infections called keratitis.

"Immediate Family," billed as "a new American play," is set in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago and involves the revelation of secrets at a family reunion.
Previews begin June 2 in the Goodman's Owen Theatre; opening is set for June 8.
The cast, mostly Chicago-based, features Shane'sia Davis, J. Nicole Brooks, Patrick Sarb, Phillip James Brannon, Kamal Angelo Bolden, and Cynda Williams. Earlier versions of this play, under the title "As Much As You Can," have been seen in fringe venues in New York and Los Angeles. The Chicago production is produced "in association with" About Face Theatre. An actress and director on stage and screen, Rashad remains best known for playing Claire Huxtable on "The Cosby Show."

Quick Introductions
- International Human Rights in a Nutshell, 4th edition by Thomas Buergenthal, Dinah Shelton & David P. Stewart (West, 2009)
- An excellent compact introduction to the international law of human rights. Includes a table of cases with full citations.
- A Dictionary of Human Rights, 2nd edition by David Robertson (Europa Publications, 2004)
- Professor Robertson describes his book as "a series of small essays," each one covering a major concept, legal instrument, or organization related to human rights. The book includes a handy appendix that reprints some fundamental human rights texts, including international treaties and national laws from France, Germany, Canada, Hungary, the former Czechoslovakia, Israel, and South Africa.
- Dictionary of International Human Rights Law by Connie de la Vega (Edward Elgar, 2013)
- This book provides one-paragraph definitions of concepts, legal instruments, and organizations related to human rights. The appendix is a list of 259 human rights treaties and other international and national legal instruments; each one has a short description, citation, and URL.
- A Handbook of International Human Rights Terminology, 2nd edition by H. Victor Condé (University of Nebraska Press, 2004)
- This book is primarily intended for students who are new to the study of human rights. The dictionary section contains brief explanations of human rights-related concepts, legal instruments, and organizations.

- Provides brief descriptions of major organizations (private, governmental, national, and international), people, concepts, treaties, and other legal instruments related to human rights and humanitarian law. Includes a chronology of events and an extensive subject bibliography.
- Lexicon of Human Rights = Les Définitions des Droits de l'Homme by Cédric Viale (Martinus Nijhoff Publishers, 2008)
- In most human rights dictionaries, each entry is a definition written by the author(s). However, in this book, each entry is a compilation of direct quotations from treaties and other human rights instruments. Another unique feature of this book is that it provides the same text twice: the first half in English, the second half in French.
- Encyclopedia of Human Rights David P. Forsythe, editor in chief (Oxford University Press, 2009)
- This 5-volume encyclopedia focuses on 1945 to the present (2009), with some coverage of prior developments. It covers concepts, organizations (governmental and non-governmental, global, regional, and national), people (including those who have had a negative effect), and situations related to human rights. It includes entries on the human rights situation in contemporary as well as historical countries and regions; for example, there are entries on both the Democratic Republic of Congo and on the Belgian Congo. The entries are written by scholars and practitioners from various countries. The last volume includes an extensive index.
- Encyclopedia of Human Rights, 2nd ed. by Edward Lawson (Taylor & Francis, 1996)
- This 1,715-page single-volume compendium covers the years between 1945 and 1996. Published with the cooperation of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights / Centre for Human Rights, this encyclopedia relies primarily on the reports of UN institutions such as Special Rapporteurs and human rights treaty-monitoring bodies. It includes entries on people (in particular, Nobel Peace Prize winners), concepts, international organizations (governmental and non-governmental), treaties, and other human rights instruments (with citations to the official sources). Unlike most other dictionaries and encyclopedias, this book also includes entries on the state of human rights in 186 countries and territories. The appendixes contain a chronological list of documents included in this work. A glossary and a subject index are also available.
- An Encyclopedia of Human Rights in the United States, 2nd ed. by H. Victor Condé (Grey House Publishing, 2011)
- Two-volume set of books focused on international human rights as they relate to the United States, from the founding to the present. The table of contents is available on Pegasus. The first part, Terms (270 pages), is an alphabetical dictionary of human rights concepts and organizations. The second part, Primary Documents, reprints 106 treaties, speeches, UN documents, and other materials. The third part, Appendixes, includes various charts, chronologies, and lists of US legislation and cases related to human rights law, among other reference materials. This encyclopedia is intended for the general public, not just lawyers or law students.
- International Encyclopedia of Human Rights: Freedoms, Abuses, and Remedies by Robert L. Maddex (CQ Press, 2000)
- A useful source for beginner researchers looking for brief explanations of key concepts, organizations, international agreements, and other documents significant to the historical development of human rights. Short biographies of major figures are also included.
- Max Planck Encyclopedia of Public International Law (Oxford University Press, updated periodically) [electronic resource]
- This is the online edition of the Encyclopedia of Public International Law previously published in print. This comprehensive reference work contains articles written by scholars and practitioners dealing with all aspects of public international law, including basic principles, rules, and summaries of important decisions. A useful source for a description and an evaluation of public international law subjects with the relevant legal situations, including many human rights-related topics. Each article is marked with the date it was last updated.
- United Nations – Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN-DESA) civil society organization database [electronic resource]
- An extensive NGO database that can be searched by various fields, including country and type of organization. Information is available in multiple languages.
- World Directory of Human Rights Research and Training Institutions, 6th edition (UNESCO, 2003), also available as an [electronic resource] through the UNESCO website
- Prepared by the Social and Human Sciences Documentation Centre and the Division of Human Rights of UNESCO this directory provides much more than contact information. The entries are annotated and there are several finding aids including subject and specialist indexes.
- Human Rights Organizations & Periodicals Directory, 13th edition (Meiklejohn Civil Liberties Institute, 2013)
- This directory focuses on organizations and publications in the United States that work on human rights problems in the U.S., although some also work on such issues in other countries. Alphabetical guide with full contact information, geographical index by state, list of internships, periodical index, and subject index are some of the useful features included.
- Dictionary of Human Rights Advocacy Organizations in Africa by Santosh Saha (Greenwood Press, 1999)
- This directory includes governmental and non-governmental organizations. For each organization, there is a brief description of its work and at least one reference. Many entries also mention the organization's history and reputation. The organizations are listed alphabetically by name, and there is also a country index useful for researchers seeking organizations in a specific nation in Africa.
- National Human Rights Institutions in the Asia Pacific Region by Brian Burdekin & Jason Naum (Martinus Nijhoff Publishers, 2007)
- This source is much more than a directory. It is a collection of select international materials and comparative tables to enable the researcher to compare the established national (i.e. governmental) human rights institutions in the Asia Pacific region. The bulk of the text is dedicated to the relevant legislation of the countries in the region, making this a valuable reference source. One of the authors, Brian Burdekin, previously served as Special Advisor on National Institutions for the United Nations High Commissioners for Human Rights.
Handbooks & Other Sources for Practitioners
- There are many handbooks, manuals, and other sources of practical advice for lawyers, judges, prosecutors, police, journalists, teachers, and others whose work involves the application of human rights law.
- Many are available for free online, mainly from inter-governmental organizations (IGOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). You can find them using a search engine like Google.

Interpretation & Application of International Human Rights Law
A variety of institutions interpret and apply international human rights law through monitoring activities, court proceedings, and other adjudicative procedures. Most of these institutions post their recent decisions, reports, and other publications on their websites. Some older materials may be available only in print or microfiche.
You can also find such materials on the websites of human rights organizations (see this research guide's section on human rights organizations).
UN Human Rights Monitoring Mechanisms
Documents related to UN human rights monitoring mechanisms are available on their websites linked below. You can also do an aggregated search using the Universal Human Rights Index, the charter-based bodies document search, or the treaty bodies document search. For general advice on searching for UN documents, see Diamond Law Library's Research Guide: The United Nations.

When viewing websites available in multiple languages, it may be helpful to switch to the vernacular, as some websites have not translated all of their content into English.
- Records of some tribunals and commissions are also available in print and microfiche in Diamond Law Library. You can find them by searching by subject or keyword on Pegasus.
- For information about the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), see Diamond Law Library's Research Guide: International Criminal Law.
How Can I Find Laws Related to Human Rights in a Specific Country?
To find the domestic laws of a foreign country, two of the best places to start are research guides about that country and secondary sources like books, journals and human rights reports. Once you have established a basic background, continue your research using foreign law databases.
Foreign Law Research Guides
A good foreign law research guide will briefly describe the legal system in that country, and explain where you can find statutes, cases, regulations, and other sources of law in the vernacular and in English. Research guides are available in print and online, for free and by subscription. Free online research guides vary significantly in quality and currency. You can find research guides in several ways:
- Use a search engine (like Google) to search for [insert country name] law research guide
- Search on Pegasus for: Subject: legal research AND Keyword: [country name]
- Globalex
- Published by the Hauser Global Law School Program at NYU School of Law, Globalex is an excellent collection of research guides on most countries. It also has comparative law research guides on specific themes. Many of the research guides are authored by local attorneys and law librarians.
- Foreign Law Guide (also known as "Reynolds & Flores")
- Foreign Law Guide is a set of extensive research guides on almost every country. Although it is commonly referred to as "Reynolds and Flores," the names of the two original authors, today it is updated by many other authors. Originally, Foreign Law Guide was published in print, but today it is updated only online.
- Diamond Law Library's list of foreign law research guides, organized by country. This list includes research guides from Globalex and Foreign Law Guide.
Diamond Law Library's research guides page has several foreign law research guides, including:
- Finding Foreign Law Resources on the Internet
- An Introduction to African Legal Resources
- Links to Sources of Japanese Law
Secondary Sources
Researchers in the United States may find it challenging to access the laws of some foreign countries for various reasons. For example, the official publication containing the text of the laws may not be available online or in U.S. libraries, or the laws may not be translated into English. Books, journals, law reviews, human rights organization reports, and other secondary sources may help you by providing a description or translation of the laws. See this research guide's sections on Books and Journals.
Foreign Law Databases
Foreign law databases available to Columbia Law School students include:
- World Legal Information Institute (WorldLII): free online resource that aggregates content from many affiliated regional and national databases.
- Westlaw
- Lexis
- Diamond Law Library subscribes to a number of foreign law databases
How Can I Find Information About the Human Rights Situation in a Specific Country?
You can find reporting on human rights violations (or human rights protections) in a particular country through various government, non-governmental organization (NGO), and news sources. If possible, try searching for information in the local language as well as in English.
The resources listed below are good places to start your research:
- Annual reports by the State Department on the human rights situation in every country. The reports are available online for all years, and in print up to 2010 in Diamond Law Library.
- Human Rights Watch regularly publishes reports and other advocacy material on specific human rights issues in specific countries. It also produces an annual review of human rights in most countries, called "World Report." You can search by country and issue on Human Rights Watch's website.
- Amnesty International publishes an annual human rights report ("State of the World") every spring, as well as reports, open letters, and other advocacy material throughout the year. You can search by country and issue on its website.
- Database managed by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), containing a vast repository of documents related to human rights in all countries. It includes not only UN documents, but also documents by a variety of other organizations, governments, and individuals. You can search by country or keyword.
- UN human rights monitoring mechanisms
- You can do an aggregated search of UN human rights monitoring mechanisms' findings on a particular country using the Universal Human Rights Index, the charter-based bodies document search, or the treaty bodies document search.
To find books in the Columbia University library system, use the online library catalogs. As human rights is an interdisciplinary topic, it is a good idea to search in multiple libraries at Columbia. In each library catalog, you can search by various fields including subject, title, author, and keyword. You can do a combined search of multiple fields by using advanced search.
- Law school library (Diamond Law Library) catalog
- Suggested subject searches on Pegasus:
- CLIO includes several Columbia libraries, including the law school library, the main university library (Butler Library), and the libraries of the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), business school, journalism school, and social work school.
- Columbia University Libraries Human Rights Research Guide
- Special collections in the Columbia University Libraries include:
- Suggested subject searches on CLIO:
- human rights
- human rights [insert country name]
- Teacher's College library catalog
- Suggested subject searches on EDUCAT:
To find books in libraries outside of Columbia, use WorldCat. Columbia Law School students who wish to borrow books from outside of Columbia through inter-library loan (ILL) must consult the librarians at the reference desk.
If you need advice on searching for books, contact the librarians at the reference desk. For reference desk hours, see the Diamond Law Library homepage.
Indexes can help you broaden the scope of your search beyond what is covered in the major full-text databases like Westlaw, Lexis, and HeinOnline Law Journal Library. Indexes may cover more journals, over a more extended period of time. Indexes also provide more sophisticated search functions, such as searching by subject, country of publication, and language. For international human rights law research, the Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals may be especially helpful because it covers hundreds of journals published worldwide in multiple languages. See a list of indexes available through Diamond Law Library.

As tradition continues, an old Ford with new Ford power
We can't think of a better platform for the new Coyote 5.0, dual-overhead cam, 32-valve Ford motor than a low-slung '33 Ford Tudor. This is Bryan Fuller's own hot rod. The Coyote motor rests between a set of hand-formed framerails.
It is the great hot rod tradition. It began when hot rodders eagerly snatched up the new Ford V-8 and stuffed it between the framerails of their Model T and A Fords. That occurred in 1932 and the modern motor in a vintage Ford has become the very definition of traditional hot rodding. As newer, better, and more powerful motors were introduced, hot rodders were quick to install them in hot rods.
Today that tradition continues, but like all technology it seems to be happening at breakneck speed. New motors, more horsepower, better fuel mileage, it all seems to be streaming out of Detroit faster than ever before.
One of the latest in this stream of performance motors was introduced by the Ford Motor Company. After 45 years of Mustang production Ford decided it was time to build a V-8 specifically designed for the Mustang. The motor was developed under the code name Coyote, a suitable name since this Blue Oval was designed to howl.
As the motor reached production it is a modern motor marvel, a powerplant that produces over 80 hp per liter (61 ci), a motor that's compact in size, modern in every way, and carries the famous Mustang 5.0 displacement. From the crank fire ignition to the 32-valve, dual-overhead cam design, the motor is everything a hot rodder could desire; components such as forged rods, cross-drilled crankshaft, hollow camshafts, and much more. Ti-VCT is engineer speak for the twin independent variable cam timing that is key in the production of both horsepower and fuel economy. The end result is a motor that delivers 412 hp at 6,500 rpm and a whopping 390 lb-ft of torque at 4,250 rpm on premium pump gas; the aluminum block motor weighs in at a trim 444 pounds.
This all-new small-block Ford may have been built for the new Mustang, but it's also destined to find a home in a lot of old Ford hot rods. Since the motor doesn't use direct injection, much of the hassles of super high-pressure fuel lines are eliminated. The engine may be supercharged in the future, but for the average hot rod application a small-block engine that produces 412 hp and good fuel economy without a blower or turbo is just what the hot rod doctor ordered.
In the looks department this is one of the better looking modular motors. The Mustang 5.0 engine cover kit is a handsome assembly that covers things like coils, wiring, and plumbing. The engine cover does a great job of looking like a high-performance motor but you can bet hot rodders will find unique ways to cover the Coyote. Transmission options for the new motor include the all-new MT-82 six-speed manual or an updated six-speed automatic.
The more we learned about this new Ford motor the more anxious we became to see one slipped between some early Ford rails. And so when Editor Brennan received the call that a new '11 Coyote (officially known as the 5.0 4V Ti-VCT V-8) was being installed at Bryan Fuller's hot rod shop we jumped at the chance to check it out.
The name Bryan Fuller is recognizable to most hot rodders through his years of working with the likes of SO-CAL Speed Shop, GMT, and Chip Foose, which led to his initial TV appearances. Today his time is equally divided between the Two Guys Garage TV show and running his shop in Atlanta. Fuller Hot Rods is busy building everything from a '61 Chevrolet to a '59 Caddy Hearse, but the project that piqued our interest was Fuller's personal ride, a radical '33 Ford Tudor. Good old East Coast rust had already removed most of the floor, but that was just fine, as this car would be completely custom fabricated from the ground up and deeply channeled in the process.
Starting with the proverbial clean sheet of paper, Fuller rolled a Tiger quick-change and a SO-CAL frontend up on the fabricating jig, and then positioned the body between the axles. Next the final BFGoodrich tires were put on the jig to check for proportions and location before he set about fabricating his own frame now that the final ride height had been determined.
The framerails are deceivingly simple, but not easy to fabricate. After laser cutting four sets of side plates from sheet stock, a top piece of flat stock was formed and tack-welded to the top of two plates, effectively forming a three-sided framerail. Sounds easy enough, but keeping things square and true required lots of clamping, spacers, and stagger welding in different areas to prevent warping. Of course anyone can make a three-piece framerail, but like Fuller creations these carry some very cool details. First the width of the framerail narrows as it progresses forward, the framerails from the firewall forward are sleek and thin looking, while in the rear the spacing between the inner and outer plates is wide enough to accommodate hefty four bars. After plumbing and electric conduits are installed inside the 'rails, the bottom piece will be welded in place making the 'rails completely boxed. The entire chassis follows suit, with cool details on every bracket and a great mix of rod, race, and plain ol' artistry involved in the build.
In keeping with this building style it only made sense to use a modern motor wrapped in vintage tin. After all isn't that the definition of a hot rod? When it comes to new motors, none are newer than the '11 Mustang 5.0 Coyote motor. The new motor and six-speed transmission are both available from Ford Racing Performance. We will take a closer look at Bryan Fuller's '33 sedan in a future issue, so stay tuned.
If that oil filter happens to interfere with anything on your installation, fear not, Ford Performance Racing offers a remote oil filter kit for this motor. Even the alternator mounting seems to work well in street rods.

April 19, 2007
LOS ANGELES - Speaking via video, former United States Ambassador to the European Union Rockwell Schnabel told a Korn Convocation Hall audience that the 2004 addition of Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic to the EU, "has been a great success." Schnabel's keynote address was one highlight at the conference "EU Expansion - Three Years Later," presented by UCLA Anderson's Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER) on Wednesday, April 18, 2007.
The conference examined the mutual economic, political and social impacts of accession and integration of the aforementioned central European nations into the EU. The conference also reviewed some of the EU's history, as the organization celebrates the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome. Among the key international figures in attendance were Tomas Bican, the economic counselor for the Embassy of the Slovak Republic; Martin Dvorak, head of the economic section for the Embassy of the Czech Republic; Frantisek Hudak, the consul general of the Slovak Republic; Martin Weiss, the consul general of Austria; Ivo Mouskourov, the consul general of the Republic of Bulgaria and Michal Urbankowski, the vice-consul for the Republic of Poland.
Unable to attend in person due to commitments in Europe, Rockwell relayed via video that the European economy has enjoyed enormous benefits over the past 50 years. He described the ongoing alliance as "a very successful experiment" and said the European economy is now the largest in the world. The continent's economic power, he added, translates to political power.
"Europe is not like the United States from a military standpoint," he said, noting that military spending is smaller in Europe than the United States. "But Europe is becoming more involved in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in Lebanon and becoming more involved in the world scene (overall)."
Schnabel later elaborated on future collaboration between the U.S. and the EU. "We need to work together," he said. "We have a common set of values that we need to try and put out to the world at large."
Hannele Tikkanen, trade counselor, European Commission in Washington, delivered the day's second keynote, speaking specifically about the 2004 EU expansion, calling it "a win-win process for old and new member states."
The day continued with a series of panel discussions, the first dealing with policy and social issues and the second on economic issues.

During the summer, I unintentionally stocked up on thick cotton sweaters. The kind that you think, yes, I will wear this to the beach! I will wear it hanging out on the porch during summer nights, with shorts and dirty sneakers and maybe a sparkler, some ice cream, tall grass at dusk, that sort of thing, but then you end up wearing it never because the reality of the weather where you (I) live is that it's 92 degrees with a humidity of four-hundred-and-seventy (which looks much more impressive and oppressive if you write it out), so you don't wear the sweaters all summer.
Thankfully, I'm stuck in that weird place season-wise when there is no committing to anything. Wool sweaters are the worst idea (tried it, was miserable) but a nice cotton one will do nicely if it's a bit breezy and there are equal threats of sunshine and rain. I somehow ended up with this sweater in two colors (the other I wore earlier this week to go get lunch in
super casual outfit), but I have no problem admitting that the mustard stripe is, marginally, my favorite.
Jeans: J. Crew (circa 2008); Sweater: J. Crew (Summer 2011); Shoes: Seychelles by way of Anthropologie; Pin: Vintage, ebay; Bag: Vintage, mom; Glasses: Forever21; Gelato: from my work!
I'm starting to notice that there are also things in my wardrobe that have stuck around for a while. For so long you're growing out of things or destroying them because you're twelve and you run around and spill things and things either don't fit or are unwearable before long. Then, all of the sudden you realize you've had a pair of jeans for four or five years and that suddenly just seems weird.
I think I've had these since 2007 or 2008? I hardly wear them, although I do really love them, mostly because they require heels. I also feel a bit self conscious on them, I feel like my legs are more on display somehow than in a skirt. Thankfully, I didn't toss them into a bag during one of my Oh My God I Have To Get Rid Of Everything moments, and suddenly flares are resurfacing a bit.
And of course, where would I be without my little fox friend?
