Is Conservative Media One Big "Racket" ?
As Republicans continue to try to make sense of their recent election losses, the finger pointing is becoming more intense.
In recent days, prominent conservatives Bill Kristol and Joe Scarborough have leveled a new allegation: Major players have allowed their pursuit of personal wealth (and ego) to take precedence over larger political goals; that elements of the conservative movement resemble a me-first, moneymaking "racket," where lining ones pockets stands out as the key objective.
The nasty "racket" accusation highlights what's happened as Republicans have handed over more and more of their branding and marketing to media personalities whose ultimate barometers of success (ratings and personal income) differ from those who run political parties (getting candidates elected to office).
In the business of media self-promotion, and particularly the carnival barker variety that powers so much of the conservative movement via Fox News and AM talk radio, it's inevitable that the goals of the "conservative entertainment complex," as writer David Frum dubbed it, would collide with the retail politics of the Republican Party. (Frum has charged the complex with having "fleeced and " exploited" its followers.)
Remember when Glenn Beck charged fans $125 to sit through the taping of his radio show? Or when he charged $500 if they wanted to attend a meet-and-greet before the show? And that was after Beck banked $32 million the previous year. More recently, conservative pundits and outlets have rushed to cash in on election spending by renting their emails lists, while Fox News' Karl Rove lightened wealthy donors' bankrolls by $300 million via his failed political groups.
It's conservatism as an ATM.
The "racket" implication also extends beyond the media world and into the Tea Party, which Fox has faithfully touted as a "grassroot" movement. That feel-good characterization was hard to square with the recent revelation that former GOP House Majority Leader Dick Armey stepped down as chairman of FreedomWorks, an influential Tea Party non-profit group, with a staggering $8 million golden parachute. (He will reportedly be paid in $400,000 installments, annually, in "consulting fees." )
Republicans rarely begrudge millionaires for big paydays. (It's the free marketplace!) But if they think cashing in has trumped winning elections, GOP pushback is inevitable.
From Kristol [emphasis added]:
And the conservative movement--a bulwark of American strength for the last several decades--is in deep disarray. Reading about some conservative organizations and Republican campaigns these days, one is reminded of Eric Hoffer's remark, "Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket." It may be that major parts of American conservatism have become such a racket that a kind of refounding of the movement as a cause is necessary.
And MSNBC's Scarborough:
"You have a lot of people running around, saying harsh things that sell books and push ratings and lose elections," he said on Monday. "Conservatism is a racket for a lot of people to get very, very rich. With no thought of winning elections."
Scarborough didn't mention Dick Morris by name, but it's possible the MSNBC host had the Fox News contributor him in mind when he denounced the type of conservative fraud that's "destroying the Republican Party."
As Media Matters detailed, Morris and conservative news outlet Newsmax Media operated something of a right-wing boondoggle during the recent election season. Cashing in on his television platform, Morris aggressively fundraised for a super PAC he advised, which then appeared to to funnel money back to Morris through rentals of his email list. Morris' Super PAC for America paid Newsmax roughly $1.7 million for "fundraising" in October and November. It turns out a significant portion of the super PAC's money likely went to renting Morris' own email list, which is operated by Newsmax Media.
As Rachel Maddow noted last night, while highlighting the Media Matters report, "What these financial reports seem to indicate is that donations to Dick Morris' super PAC, substantially, just end up going to Dick Morris."
That feels like a racket to me.
Meanwhile, the incessant right-wing media desire to extract donations from followers for people and organizations that don't really need it can lead to baffling disconnects.
Last week, while cheering the news that Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) would be leaving the U.S. Senate in order to become president of the influential conservative think tank, The Heritage Foundation, Rush Limbaugh urged his listeners to support the institution and to become paying members. What Limbaugh failed to mention to his AM listeners was that The Heritage Foundation operates on an $80 million annual budget, lists assets totaling nearly $200 million, and receives generous support from of 3M, Boeing, and ExxonMobil, just to name a few, key corporate benefactors.
Indeed, the Heritage Foundation, with its gold-plated deep pockets and its big business sponsorship, has long been seen as the most prosperous think tank in all of Washington, D.C., boasting a staff of nearly 300 people. (As its new president, DeMint's annual salary will likely be in excess of $1 million.) Yet Limbaugh was urging his listeners from around the country, including those from small town America, to write checks to the Heritage Foundation so that its voice can be heard?
And yes, according to this Washington Post report, Limbaugh has pocketed millions from the Heritage Foundation over the years, so this also feels like a racket. And there aren't many American political movements that have turned rackets to electoral success.

Firewood logs in Beccles - Suffolk
Looking for the best quality logs in Beccles? First think about quality.
We believe kiln dried logs are the best for your wood burning stoves in Beccles.
Why burn logs with high moisture when kiln dried logs generate more heat, are friendlier to your chimneys, and are always clearly more cost effective. Kiln dried logs should have a moisture content of 15% or less. Seasoned fire wood will typically have a moisture content of 25%.
Whilst "free" wood like off cuts from DIY projects like decking may seem obvious to burn but they can cause damage to your chimney / flue and provide much less heat.
Kiln dried wood supplies are ideal for: Wood burning stoves, Multi fuel stoves, Open fires, Chimineas, Pizza ovens in Beccles.
Beccles - Suffolk
Is it harmful to burn treated wood?
Let us make this 100% clear. Do not use treated wood in your log fire such as peices of decking boards. Treated wood means it has been treated with chemicals and burning it releases dangerous toxin chemical such as arsenic. It's also not good for your chimney / flue. Just google "Is it harmful to burn treated wood" if you don't believe us. Enough said.
Testing the moisture content of wood
Moisture metres are ideal for testing levels. These are all available on Amazon from just over £10 to £30.
Kiln dried should be 10-15%.
Expect seasoned wood to be up to 25%.
Best buys in Beccles for Firewood Suppliers of Logs

Champion ship: Third store's the charm
Former NFL star Chris Harrison wasn't a business student when he attended the University of Virginia, but he could probably teach budding entrepreneurs a thing or two. He and partner Torrance Hampton opened their third Charlottesville Nextel store Thursday. August 18.
The co-owners lured in customers with appreciation discounts and a chance to win an autographed jersey and football.
Harrison owns a real estate development company in Washington, D.C. in addition to the Nextel stores, but both he and Hampton are glad to be working in Charlottesville.
"This is phenomenal," says Harrison, "to be able to come back to Charlottesville and give back to the university and the community by opening our Nextel stores locally."
Sales director John Hern and William Howard, assistant to Chris Harrison
Owners Torrance Hampton and Chris Harrison
Mike Plecker and Marty Tourville, ambassadors of Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce
Chamber boss Timothy Hulbert, Beth Garton of Union Bank and Trust, and the proud co-owners
Customers had a chance to win a UVA football signed by quarterback Aaron Brooks and linebacker James Farrior.
Farrior's jersey is displayed on the back wall.

Item #0262
70-90 Days. This is no ordinary melon-with over 8 years of breeding several types of melons, this is one of a kind! Exquisite, sweet flavor combines with juicy and aromatic flesh for an extraordinary summer treat. The smooth, grey-green rind turns yellow-white when melons are at their peak of ripeness. Cutting open the fruit releases the intoxicating aroma and delectable, orange-pink flesh reminiscent of a summer sunset. Each slightly oval melon weighs about 2-4 pounds.
This packet sows up to 4 mounds.
Seedling Image
Days to Emerge:
Seed Depth:
Seed Spacing:
Mound Spacing:
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED: 1 to 2 weeks after average last frost, and when soil temperature is 70°?90°F.
When to start inside: 2 to 4 weeks before transplanting when weather is warm and settled. Sow into biodegradable pots that can be directly planted in the ground.
Harvesting: Harvesting at the right time is very important with melons. Fruits should be picked when fully ripe. Commercial growers harvest before melons are ripe, forcing them to ripen off the vine. This is unfortunate since the last few days of ripening on the vine put a lot of sugars into the melon; bottom line is that melons taste significantly better when vine-ripened. How do you know when melons are ripe? Papaya Dew does not "slip" when ripe like some other melons. The best way to determine ripeness is when the rind loses the grey-green color and turns yellow-white.

My book (Contemporary Dance in Israel) has been published!
If you have wondered why I have written less on this website lately, it is in large part because I have been pouring much of my time into several other large-scale projects. Last year, I wrote a book – and today, I am happy to announce that Contemporary Dance in Israel has been published by Asociación Cultural Danza Getxo!
While there are other books about the history of dance in Israel as well as journals and anthologies featuring articles about the country's contemporary dance, this is the first book in English fully devoted to one of the world's most vibrant contemporary dance scenes. Composed of short sections about choreographers, companies, festivals, theaters, and other organizations, the book introduces newcomers to Israeli contemporary dance and enables readers familiar with the field to learn more about leading artists and institutions.
You can learn more about my book on a new website designed as a multimedia companion to Contemporary Dance in Israel. There you can find short videos of works discussed in the book as well as links to the websites of choreographers, companies, festivals, theaters, and other organizations. And of course, if you want to read the book itself (and I hope you will do so!), you can buy the English version of Contemporary Dance in Israel at the following links:
- Paperback printed version, through libreriayorick.com (the website is in Spanish, but the book itself is in English. Note: this site is currently out of stock)
- PDF version (compatible with iPad, e-readers, and computers), through bubok.es (the website is in Spanish, but the PDF is in English)
- Kindle version, through Amazon.com (the Kindle version is also available on other countries' Amazon stores)
I am very excited about publishing my first book, and I would love to hear any thoughts you have about it either in comments on this blog post or through e-mail and Facebook messages. If you would like to like to help me by spreading the word to other dance fans on Facebook or through e-mail, I would greatly appreciate it! And if you are interested in hearing me lecture about my research, please use the form below to contact me.

I have tried to write about my week at Committed to Cloth a couple of times and just ended up with a confused tangle of impressions, ideas and happenings. So here we go again…
Before the week started, Claire sent us a list of questions to answer and send to them in advance, and this in itself was a valuable exercise. They were things like, what do you want to commit to in the coming months, what do you need to do to realise this and how can we help? I think the key word for me both before and during the week, was focus. To choose one thing and focus on it, and get rid of all the extraneous things; be willing to chuck anything that isn't working and stop fluttering like a butterfly on to any and everything textile related, the latest technique, the latest 'must have' item. I think that ever since City & Guilds, when you get to try lots of different techniques and samples, I've been a 'butterfly', hopping on to one craze and then the next without getting deeper and trying to make my own path through one thing, ignoring all the rest.
So during that week I decided that what I really love is to colour the fabric, and that the stitching bit isn't really important to me; often I would dye cloth or paint it and then feel I had to make it into something, and stitch it, and then it got put into a pile and never used. So I decided that I'd concentrate on wholecloth work. Hence my destashing over the last few weeks. (There are still about 8 fabric bundles left, by the way, plug, plug!!) I freecycled a load of stuff, chucked out or rehoused another load (what hordes of rubbish I was collecting in there in the hope that it would come in useful one day….), rearranged my studio and moved the tables around to make it easier to paint and print large pieces of cloth. I did hope that I might be able to have a sink put in there but that looks as though it might be too impractical. But already it feels more workable and I've been getting down to a piece of work that I started sampling on the course.
Claire and Leslie were great during the week – there were only 5 of us on the course and so we were able to have lots of one to one time with them. Over the last year I have been trying to work on a series about the local river and I had already come to the conclusion that I was trying to do too much in each piece and so got bored and come unstuck. They helped me see that I had to be a lot more specific – FOCUS again! – so I decided that I would take the theme of reeds and develop design material round that during the week. Claire advised me to do a writing exercise to help put into words exactly what I wanted to say in a particular piece and so I was able to do mark making around those words and feelings. Here are some of the designs which came out of that:
When I'd done a lot of design work, with Claire and Leslie's help I picked out several which seemed to work best with the words and thoughts about what I was trying to achieve, and then we used acetates to see how these would work when layered. After that I worked on a sample of cloth to see how these would turn out in colour. Here is the result (though the photo isn't very faithful to the colours and there are some random shadows which aren't there in the original!).
I'm in the process of making this into a large wall piece and the great thing is that I have a load of design material and ideas to develop other pieces in a series on reeds. And, more importantly, I learnt to see how to get from doing a load of design stuff to actually translating it into fabric without being too literal. I made the above sample with fabric paints using a stamp cut from a rubber, a credit card, a scrubbing brush and a piece of laminated plastic!
Through the week, as well as working on our own designs (and every one of us worked on very different things), we got together and Claire and Leslie taught us about the elements of design, what you have to have in a design to make it work and how to critique our own pieces of work to help us ascertain why they were or weren't working. And lots of other discussion about methods of working, ways of framing or finishing pieces of work – and yummy lunches and endless cups of tea and coffee in the process! The course took place in Claire's wonderful house and an important part of the atmosphere was the beauty all around. It was a wonderful week and a pivotal one, for me, I think. Time will tell on that last point.

However, there are a number of situations where the preferred markup is not clear. Before I can clarify those cases I need guidance from the translators. We can add examples to this thread until we are sufficiently clear to update the how-to pages. The first example I'd like you to consider is this section: <example 1> Konqueror is primarily a web interface, but it can also function as a traditional file manager. If this is your preference, in System Settings, go to the Advanced tab and click on File Associations. In the list of Known Types, go to the inode/directory type. In the General tab at the right side of the window, select Konqueror in the Application Preference Order and click on the Up button until it is at the top. Click on Apply to save the changes. </example> Please indicate how you would like this to be marked. If we can look at a few such cases we should be able to formulate useful guidance. MoreHistory View source Link toannew 19:29, 30 September 2010 <example 1> Konqueror is primarily a web interface, but it can also function as a traditional file manager. If this is your preference, in System Settings, go to the Advanced tab and click on File Associations. In the list of Known Types, go to the inode/directory type. In the General tab at the right side of the window, select Konqueror in the Application Preference Order and click on the Up button until it is at the top. Click on Apply to save the changes. </example> Actually I would recommend a few changes to the original text: It is generally a bad idea to use names of GUI elements as anything other than names, så I would suggest replacing "In the list of Known Types,..." with "In the Known Types list ...". I think inode -> directory is better than inode/directory; the latter is potentially confusing since it does not match one named GUI element. I think "If this is your preference go to System Settings -> Advanced -> File Associations is a simpler and better way to present a sequence of GUI actions. Parent MoreHistory View source Link toClaus chr 14:17, 1 October 2010 Summary: Links to application pagesHistory Summarize<quote>I don't need to translate the application names, but what about those languages that have a non-latin alphabet?</quote> After much experimentation it has been decided that markup that excludes elements from translation should be avoided whenever possible. That relies entirely on the experience of the translator to know what needs translation, but additional guidance can be written into [[EditMarkup|Prepare a page for translation]] where necessary. With regard to links, it has been agreed that [[Special:myLanguage/Ark|<translate>Ark</translate>]] is the format that will be used for stand-alone links, such as the application-names in /Applications. To accommodate the different grammar needs, when the link occurs in a sentence the whole link should be left as within the translatable message. MoreHistory View source Link toannew 18:42, 30 September 2010 Summary: CategoriesHistory SummarizeThere is a list of current categories and a set of pages where agreed translation of those categories can be found, linked from Translation_Help_Needed As a general principle: The UserBase page for the application should have its traditional category (manual writers can add the application category if they wish). Tutorials, FAQ's etc should also have the traditional categories (again, the application category can be added). Pages that are part of the manual should only have the application category. The application category may also be used for any application that has many subpages. New categories should only be considered if no existing one can be applied. If a new category is essential it must be added to all the translation tables listed on Translation_Help_Needed. Application-name categories may be omitted from those tables, as they will only be translated for non-latin alphabet languages. The translator is expected to know the official glyphs for the name translation. MoreHistory View source Link toannew 19:19, 30 September 2010 Summary: Page re-directs cause problems with links in translated pagesHistory SummarizeKAddressBook and Plasma/FAQ are examples of pages where they are simply a re-direct to the latest version of the application. The problem arises if the text on one of those versioned pages contains something like [[KAddressBook/Enabling_Resources]]. There is no such section, because it's on the versioned page. The solution is that the part that the reader sees can be trimmed for readability but the link must specify the version page. MoreHistory View source Link toannew 18:55, 30 September 2010 Summary: Problem with links to subsectionsHistory SummarizeSpecial:myLanguage finds the correct page, but then looks for a subsection with the English title, which of course it fails to find. Siebrand offers this workaround: This will work if you add anchor points to your pages that cannot be translated. For example, add to the source text to allow anchors to always work. I experimented with this a while ago. The exact implementation may differ from what I write here, but I'm certain it's close. siebrand 08:44, 23 August 2010 This is working on a number of pages, so appears to be the correct solution for us. MoreHistory View source Link toannew 18:34, 30 September 2010 Summary: Using SmileysHistory SummarizeASCII smilies cause problems for translators, because the system reports unbalanced parentheses. Instead, please us icons such as [[Image:face-smile.png]] . Keeping the size below 15px constrains it vertically so that the text line isn't distorted. Additionally, UserBase is linked to InstantCommons where you can search for other smilies or other images. You do not need any special addressing - they act as though they are uploaded onto our server.

When that was marked as ready for translation again, the language statistics appeared to be incorrect - and in fact the two sets of statistics did not agree. Nikerabbit explains this: <quote> Few notes that hopefully help to clarify things: Special:LanguageStats: if group is 100% translated, the default task is 'review all changes' (definition pink + translation green) instead of 'show untranslated' (untranslated blue, outdated pink). If this is confusing we should discuss how to make it less confusing. If the one who marks page for translation chooses to not invalidate translations, those translation should never show up in the view of untranslated messages, nor affect translation percentages. The only difference is that if you somehow go and edit one of those, you will see a difference between the old and new definition like you see for other invalidated translations.

We will for now include all templates in the translatable area, leaving the translators to make the decision. The difficulty, as I understand it, is that we have two types of templates - those with replaceable text, which should definitely be translated, and those with fixed text, where a localised version is substituted. Any further ideas for clarifying this should be added to this thread. MoreHistory View source Link toannew 16:03, 30 September 2010 Summary of Translating Pages - section sequenceHistory SummarizeIf any new section is added between existing sections, the system will allocate a section number. The number is used by the system to know where it came from and where the translated section must be placed, but to the translator it will appear out of sequence. It is essential that during the markup phase care is taken to ensure sufficient context remains for the translators to make good judgements. Translators meeting bad examples should alert the admin group. MoreHistory View source Link toannew 16:01, 30 September 2010 Summary of Images discussionHistory SummarizeImages need more white space around them than you might expect. A double-empty line above the image is desirable, a double-empty line below the image is required, to avoid the possibility of undesirable line-wrapping. MoreHistory View source Link toannew 15:53, 30 September 2010 Use of menuchoice tagHistory SummarizeDo we have a policy regarding use of the <menuchoice> ... </menuchoice> tag? The typographical guidelines mentiones only menu choices. Common practice also includes other named entities in the GUIs, such as buttons, textfields, dialogs etc. I assume this is all OK (IMHO it should be). Recently I have come across a number of examples, where ordinary reference to things, that can be done in a GUI have also been enclosed in these tags, even though they do not specify a GUI element. An example might look something like this: Features[edit] does useful stuff change colour and flavour I think this is potentially confusing and should be avoided. In cases like the above I don't think emphasizing is needed at all, but if some general terms must be emphasized, I think it is preferable to use ordinary bolding. Should I remove superfluous menuchoice tags when I find them? MoreHistory View source Link toClaus chr 14:23, 22 September 2010 Yes. I talked to Yurchor about this, this afternoon, see User_talk:Yurchor#x.22Chatty.22_pages_-_hard_to_mark_up__414. Sorry for the extra work. Parent MoreHistory View source Link toannew 17:34, 22 September 2010 Yes. I talked to Yurchor about this, this afternoon, see User_talk:Yurchor#x.22Chatty.22_pages_-_hard_to_mark_up__414. Sorry for the extra work. Parent MoreHistory View source Link toannew 17:34, 22 September 2010 I came across a similar issue within link texts. Link texts already stand out, and adding extra emphasis to words in a link doesn't look good in my opinion. I haven't done anything about these - I know that there are other considerations, such as compliance with docbook, but does that apply to links? Parent MoreHistory View source Link toClaus chr 09:12, 23 September 2010 I want to stick to compliance with docbook, and I'm honestly not sure of the answer to this. I suspect that the markup within the link may be unnecessary, but I'd like Yurchor to confirm this. Parent MoreHistory View source Link toannew 11:28, 23 September 2010 In fact, there is no such thing as compliance ;) I have to re-write wiki2docbook to replace <menuchoice> with ''' and parse <keycap>Ctrl+F</keycap> to get <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>F</keycap></keycombo>. To understand things better, you can compare XML (exported from UserBase and slightly fixed) and DocBook from rekonq pages here, Amarok pages here, and KrossWordPuzzle pages here. The only thing that is needed for successful conversion is the consistent markup in UserBase itself. Nothing more. There must not be markup like <keycap>OK</keycap>. The stable rules (and of course, great look of pages) is the only thing that matter for documentation. Should we separate clearer what pages are and what pages are not documentation? Surely, there is not much sense to prompt someone to use "this markup is a mess!"© just to write their plans on Telepathy, which are far from the real-world implementation. ;) Thanks in advance Parent MoreHistory View source Link toYurchor 12:05, 23 September 2010 [quote]I have to re-write wiki2docbook to replace <menuchoice> with [/quote] - how useful is <menuchoice> then? It seems strange to me that I'm going through pages changing "" into <menuchoice> when you have to change them back. I don't think there's much we can do to help with the keycap parsing, though. Sorry about the "OK" - I think I've only done it once, and it certainly wasn't intentional. I have a bad habit of thinking that I just need to get to a certain point before stopping work, when it would have been better if I had stopped a little earlier. Maybe we need a thread somewhere more central about which pages need strict markup, and which are better served by just bold and italic carefully applied. Parent MoreHistory View source Link toannew 17:53, 23 September 2010 It is useful. It makes GUI elements on UserBase pages mauch more prominent. For example, <menuchoice>Ok</menuchoice> gives Ok, but '''Ok''' gives just Ok which is not so visible. If you are trying to follow some instruction the former variant is much better, imho. ;) I just want to say that DocBook compliance and UserBase markup have to be treated separately. Parent MoreHistory View source Link toYurchor 18:48, 23 September 2010 That was a very useful clarification. Looking at the docbook code for rekonq, I get the impression, that we should not use emphasis on application names when they appear in the text of a link. Is that correct? Parent MoreHistory View source Link toClaus chr 05:26, 24 September 2010 Yes, it would be better, but emphasizing is not crucial. It can be easily tweaked during final polishing. Just a replace of <guilabel>rekonq</guilabel> with "&rekonq;". The most ugly thing is to use bold typeface or <menuchoice> in section headers, or bold in {{Warning}}. Can it be added to Guidelines? Thanks. Parent MoreHistory View source Link toYurchor 13:13, 24 September 2010 Yes, I'll do that. I guessed that it was better not to use it in section headers (I left some in because they were originally there, and I wasn't sure) but I wouldn't have thought of leaving it out of the templates - I assume that the same applies to Information, Notes and Tips templates. Parent MoreHistory View source Link toannew 15:12, 24 September 2010 Sorry to keep going on about this issue, but today I encountered some difficult problems translating KrossWordPuzzle. There are several problems all related to the use of the menuchoice tag. First, It seems to me to be potentially confusing to ordinary readers to use the menuchoice tags for anything other than actually explaining how to do some task using the GUI. If we use menuchoice tags the way the are used in the feature list of KrossWordPuzzle, readers may confuse what is merely a list of capabilities with a discription of how to actually accomplish something (and be frustrated because the don't understand the "directions"). Secondly, using the name of a GUI element in its "literal sense", fx treating Open as a verb, is going to cause problems to many translators. The great differences between the various grammatical systems would force translators to write awkward (perhaps even ungrammatical) texts. Thirdly, we can never be sure, that a translation of the GUI even exists. If it doesn't, a translator of the UserBase page may need to have English words in the translation. Here I am assuming, that the name of a GUI element should always appear in print exactly as it is shown on the screen, which seems highly desirably to me. Therefore I would recommend that names of GUI elements are avoided in feature list and similar places where we are talking about the capabilities of an application, but not about how to accomplish anything in detail. Perhaps the simplest way to think about this is to allways treat the thing enclosed in a menuchoice tag as a proper name. Would it be a good idea to add something like this to the guidelines or are there better ways to deal with the problems? Parent MoreHistory View source Link toClaus chr 16:09, 25 September 2010 I did say that you might find other pages that were written before I had had the conversation with Yurchor. The best thing to do is simply point me to them, and I'll fix the problems. I'm dealing with so many pages that I can't possibly remember which pages might be affected, so you will just have to prompt me. Sorry. Parent MoreHistory View source Link toannew 17:07, 25 September 2010 Actually, my latest complaint was about yet another kind of problem with the use of the menuchoice tags. The KrossWordPuzzle page did not "abuse" the tag in the way we talked about earlier, but I still think that the way menu items were referenced is unfortunate. I'm sorry I didn't make that clear enough. Parent MoreHistory View source Link toClaus chr 06:38, 26 September 2010 Thirdly, we can never be sure, that a translation of the GUI even exists. If it doesn't, a translator of the UserBase page may need to have English words in the translation. Here I am assuming, that the name of a GUI element should always appear in print exactly as it is shown on the screen, which seems highly desirably to me. I do not think it's a good idea to translate manuals for the applications with untranslated interface. Anyway, KrossWordPuzzle has not been translated to Danish yet. I cannot even to contact with the developer to ask him is it worth to put DocBook in the main SVN module, but that's the different story. ;) To keep the good translations, I asked that screenshots can be translated, not as in Amarok Quickstart. It will be LP-quality translations of manuals if translators never use the applications. ;) Parent MoreHistory View source Link toYurchor 16:52, 25 September 2010 This author was active for a good while, but seems to have disappeared at the moment. I too tried to contact him. His apps are nice. I don't want to lose them. I've re-marked the KrossWordPuzzle page. No guarantees that it's right, but of course you are free to edit as necessary. The typographical guidelines are fairly straightforward to document. I'm beginning to think that we need a separate page for the actual markup for translations, and to ask translators to join the Talk page to help work out rules. I'm clear on straightforward decisions, but less formal pages are very difficult for me, and therefore I am not likely to write a good guideline for this. I wasn't aware of the problem with the Amarok QSG pages - and there are a lot of them. I'll try to fix those over the next few days. Parent MoreHistory View source Link toannew 17:36, 25 September 2010 You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason: The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups: Users, Administrators, trusted, KDEDevelopers. You can view and copy the source of this page. I agree that we should have a translation of the GUI before we begin translating the manual. I'm not so sure that the same always applies to traditional UserBase application pages, though. Claus chr Return to Thread:Talk:Translation Workflow/Use of menuchoice tag/reply (16). Another question came up regarding the way we emphasize applications. The problem comes up in the genitive case: Where in English we would have fx "The Amarok menues ..." og "Amarok's menues ...", the proper Danish translation would be "Amaroks menuer ...", i.e. the same as the latter English form but without the apostrophe. Is it desirable to keep the s ending unbolded (it does look a little odd)? Parent MoreHistory View source Link toClaus chr 16:46, 27 September 2010 Having had time to think about this, I think you are right. In future I will mark the whole word in bold. Please correct any instances you find meanwhile. Thanks. Parent MoreHistory View source Link toannew 10:23, 30 September 2010 First ObservationsHistory SummarizeThis is the summary of the conversation in June 2010: Transferring the Danish translations of the first batch of pages to the new framework, I came across a few oddities: In one page the ;) smiley was used inside a parenthesized remark. Fixed - PageLayout guidelines warn against it and give image link instead.--annew 20:52, 28 June 2010 (CEST) Sometimes a paragraph has an image or a snippet of code inserted with blank lines around the inserted item. In those cases the whole paragraph - blank lines and all - should be kept in one translation unit. Off-line translation tools require headings to be in separate sections. Blank lines separate the sections, so this can't be fixed. While I was translating the page on Kopete, the original was rearranged a bit. In particular, some sections were removed, and the remaining sections were renumbered. .... It should be OK to have translation units that are not consecutively numbered, right? The sections should never be manually re-numbered. They will, sometimes, look non-consecutive, but the extension understands where they came from and where they must be put back. Manual editing breaks this. The latest changes (which are not approved, which makes it so that the current translations are not outdated) Correct - until the changes have been marked for translation they will not indicate the need for new translations. It may be that a number of changes are planned before the new version is complete. Old pages have unacceptable typography. Editing using Typographical_Guidelines will fix that. Empty sections, prepared for information to be added later, are a problem when it comes to DocBook production. They are fine in the early stages of building a page, but should be removed if they can't be filled before the page is marked for translation. --annew 12:28, 10 June 2010 (CEST) There is a problem, that is bound to come up from time to time: Sometimes small changes are made to a page to correct spelling, grammar or formatting. Often, these changes do not affect the translations When marking for translation it is now possible to check these as not affecting the translation. If absolutely necessary you can use this to find all pages with fuzzy tags, then open section , delete fuzzy tags .--Qiii2006 19:36, 12 June 2010 (CEST) Thanks, this is usefull! It doesn't solve the above problem, though, as the sections in question are not marked as fuzzy. I just checked - An_introduction_to_KDE/de doesn't appear on the German list, but the page is still marked as outdated (98% complete). That was a different bug, now fixed. By the way: Most (every?) time this problem has occured on one of the Danish pages, it has ben caused of two kinds of edits to the English original: Either a link of the form Page has been changed to Page or unneeded space characters have been removed for a wiki-link. I hope a solution can be found, for these kinds of changes are quite valuable to translators. Another problem just occured to me. All links to translated pages needs to be changed as they are transferred to the new framework! As we go through pages red-links are obvious, so we should be fine for fixing them. --annew 20:52, 28 June 2010 (CEST) MoreHistory View source Link toannew 03:49, 7 July 2010 First page Previous page Next page Last page Retrieved from "https://userbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Talk:Translation_Workflow&oldid=83082#First_Observations_68" This page was last edited on 30 September 2010, at 18:57.

Handle With Care: Gamer Homophobia
We've covered art mod series Radiator before, both first part Polaris and the second Handle With Care. Because we are all about the art-wank. Or wanking generally, in my case. However, some people are less into splendid art-ejaculate, and Robert Yang writes about their responses over in this week's Escapist. Of course, their problem isn't pretension or even iffy Half-life-two-level design. It's because you were "tricked" into playing a gay protagonist…
You might have, as some players did, invented a female persona for your player character and assumed it was the same young "lady" dating Dylan from my previous mod, "Polaris." And then you would find out, whether from seeing the name "James" so often or from reading forum posts – that I had managed to "trick" you into playing as a homosexual male.
Perhaps that made you angry enough to go to my website and, with the proud honor of being the first to post a comment on my work, you may have hastily written the following post: "Re relese [sic] the game without the GAY!"
His response, quite reasonably, is to tell them to sling their hook. There's lots more in the article, which is an interesting examination of how even negligible homosexual content creates a disproportionately homophobic response.
Separate from the main topic, I admit one bit really disturbed me…
It is two months ago, when an editor at The Escapist suggested that readers might not fully appreciate my game design analysis of OkCupid in "Grinding the Dating Scene" if references to my preference for dudes stayed in the article. I agreed and changed it.
I mean, I understand the reasoning, but I'm deeply saddened by it.
Not much more to say than that, really.

He's been an AIDS-stricken drug dealer, hurled through space and spent time dazed and confused. Now Matthew McConaughey is headed back to the University of Texas at Austin as professor.
The Academy Award-winning Texan and UT Austin alum will partner with "Hunger Games" director Gary Ross to teach a filmmaking class at the Moody College of Communication, according to a video released by the university Thursday.
Up to 30 students can enroll in the course which will only be open to juniors and seniors but there are no prerequisites or fees required, The Dallas Morning News reports.
U.S. & World
A public affairs representative for UT Austin told the San Antonio Express-News that McConaughey will take students "behind the scenes" of his upcoming film "Free State of Jones" through recorded videos and at least one on-campus visit.
This will be the second time McConaughey co-teaches this course with university lecturer Scott Rice, the school's student newspaper The Daily Texan and The San Antonio Express-News reported.

Berkeley DBA Sidewalk Santa Rings in the Holidays
The presence of an elderly, out-of-town man with flowing white beard and eccentric bright red clothing who brought a chair and sat for hours on the sidewalk adjacent to Berkeley's Downtown BART station did not deter scores of excited children and adults from flocking to the plaza on a rainy Friday evening for a festive event—the ceremonial lighting of a holiday tree by the Downtown Berkeley Association.
DBA Executive Director Jon Caner and City of Berkeley Economic Development Director Michael Caplan watched cheerfully while numerous party-goers and passersby lined up to enjoy free hot chocolate as thick as pudding from Almare Gelato, delicious jam-filled cookies from PIQ, and a capella entertainment from the Cal Jazz Choir.
As the students sang about a homeless child in a strange city—"Now sound the trumpet, beat on the drum! The wondrous holy night has come!" from "Jamaican Noel"—staff from the adjacent Downtown Verizon store circulated passing out "You're A Winner!" postcards offering gift cards for those who made a return visit.
Children and adults had their picture taken with sidewalk sitting Santa who was solicitously attended, not shooed along, by elves dressed in the florescent green field attire of the DBA Downtown "ambassadors". A few street kids and homeless people were part of the crowd and partook of the refreshments, and on this evening of good feeling I didn't see anyone tell them to go away.
The official lighting ceremony was briefly deferred while waiting for the late Mayor Tom Bates, who finally showed up with family members in tow to light the tree (the unverified rumor in the crowd was that Bates had been delayed by lack of parking nearby).
Caner called the crowd to attention for "the first lighting of the BART Plaza tree, hopefully the first time for many years to come!" and handed the microphone to Bates.
"Thank you, it's a wonderful evening…this is fabulous, we really appreciate what is happening in the Downtown", Bates said. "This is another way of celebrating our wonderful Downtown. So without further ado, I'm going to plug these two cords."
He asked an audience member to join him, but she declined, perhaps dubious of the results of bringing two electrical connections together by hand in the drizzly outdoors. But Bates survived without mishap, and the tall, white, star-topped, tree (wires and a pole, we should note, not a cut tree) lit up in the planter bed behind him to applause from the crowd.
"Please come to Downtown many times over the holiday season, be entertained, shop, and be merry!" Caner exhorted. Other introduced dignitaries besides Bates included North Berkeley City Councilman Laurie Capitelli, who has apparently added Downtown to the list of local commercial districts he now feels are safe to visit after dark.
Despite the rain, Downtown was packed and bustling, as it usually is. Out of curiosity I stood on the Shattuck sidewalk and counted just those people walking by, excluding those at the event. In five minutes no less than 115 passersby of all ages, ethnicities, and apparent income levels passed by me, meaning one pedestrian, on average, every 2.6 seconds.
The event recalled Downtown holiday decorations and ceremonies which go back at least to the 1920s, as far as I know. On and off for years decorations have been hung from the light poles. This year they're large purple and gold balls. In the early 1930s there was a controversy over "modernistic" designs created by WPA workers, and the city returned to more "traditional" décor. There's often a tree, and a Downtown arrival of Santa ceremony, all geared to entice local shoppers to patronize the downtown businesses.
Berkeley has a traditional "Municipal Christmas Tree" from the early 1940s, a Giant Sequoia in Civic Center Park, but it has been a few years since the City last lit it up.

Archive | birthday sports RSS for this section
Sports Party
My son is obsessed with sports – all sports. When he was asked what type of birthday theme he wanted for his 6th birthday he answered, "Sports, All Sports." And there the challenge began. It was so difficult to bring this all together and make the theme simple and clean. I finally decided that green would be my main color since that is Connor's favorite color. After purchasing 50 green foam fingers, I know wished I had bought red for the Arizona Wildcats. Live and Learn! The kids loved them anyhow and I am sure the parents appreciated the ride home with them hitting their siblings (oops).
My other main gift for the favors was pom poms for the girls (from Oriental Trading Co.) and water bottles with no imprint. I got a great deal from a local advertising company, Minkus Advertising. They really are the best!
I also had a bunch of various items for the kids to choose from so they could each bring home a swag bag like the movie stars do. I think it was a hit but it was also a little chaotic so I had to enlist help from about 3 moms. The kids lined up nicely and got to pick their items. Luckily, each child got a foam finger and I had leftovers to give to the relatives. Like I said, too bad I didn't pick red.
I will post the invitations here too. I made a fake ticket for Connor's Sports Zone. Connor actually got annoyed when I kept saying Sports Zone because he didn't know what that meant. I told him it just sounded cool and we needed a name.
I got a lot of inspiration from Shindig Parties to go. I can't take credit for this theme at all since she gave me all my ideas and she is very talented! Amanda's website is http://amandaparkerandfamily.blogspot.com/ and her shop can be found here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/shindigparties
I purchased my striped straws (not pictured) and polka dot balloons from The Sugar Diva. The service was great and I will use them again for sure.
My husband made this after we got the idea from http://amandaparkerandfamily.blogspot.com/
Thanks for stopping by!

WASHINGTON, DC - The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced that Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS), LLC has been selected as the management and operating contractor for DOE's Savannah River Site (SRS) in Aiken, South Carolina. The contract is a cost-plus award-fee contract valued at approximately $800 million per year and is for a five-year base period with the option to extend it for up to five additional years.
SRNS is a limited liability corporation consisting of Fluor Federal Services, Inc., Honeywell International, Inc., and Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company (a Northrop Grumman Company). The team also includes subcontractors Lockheed Martin Services, Inc. and Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc.
"In the Department's rich and diverse history, the Savannah River site is recognized for its critical role in support of national security objectives, scientific innovation, and stewardship of the environment," U.S. Secretary of Energy Samuel W. Bodman said. "Through today's contract award, we look forward to working with Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLC to continue the site's strong record in carrying out its complex missions. SRNS's experience will position DOE's Savannah River site for the future as we work to facilitate science-driven development of new technologies, advance our national security interests, and meet our environmental cleanup goals."
The SRS management and operating contract includes three key mission areas: environmental cleanup, operation of the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL), and National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) activities. Environmental cleanup activities include management of spent nuclear fuel, nuclear materials, and non high-level radioactive waste; deactivation and decommissioning of excess facilities; and remediation of soil and groundwater. In support of the DOE national security and non-proliferation programs, the NNSA activities include operation of the tritium facilities, completion of the plutonium disposition program, and disposition of highly enriched uranium. The contract includes operation of SRNL, one of DOE's world class national laboratories, which supports departmental environmental cleanup, energy security, and national security missions. The contractor also will manage pensions and benefits and SRS infrastructure.
The transition period of the new contractor will begin on January 24, 2008 and will be completed in 90 days. SRNS will assume management and operation of the Savannah River Site under the new contract in April 2008. The base period of the contract is from January 2008 through December 2012 with a five-year option from January 2013 through December 2017.
The SRS management and operating contract is the first to be awarded as part of DOE's innovative contracting strategy for the Savannah River site. This strategy will increase the number of prime contracts on the site as the Department focuses on continuing cleanup momentum and accomplishing specific mission critical activities.
The Savannah River Site is a key DOE industrial complex, focusing on the cleanup of legacy materials and wastes left from the Cold War. It comprises 310 square miles in Aiken, Allendale, and Barnwell Counties, South Carolina. Constructed during the 1950s to produce basic materials used in the fabrication of nuclear weapons in support of our nation's defense programs, SRS is recognized for performance and excellence in support of our national security and as a responsible steward of the environment. Learn more about the Department of Energy's Office of Environmental Management and the Savannah River Site.

Officials say the FBI investigation into David Petraeus was triggered by a complaint from a family friend into emails sent by his biographer Paula Broadwell. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.
Updated at 12:17 a.m. ET: As more details about General David Petreaus' alleged relationship with his biographer emerge, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have expressed frustration, asking when the affair was discovered and who in Washington was told about it.
"We received no advance notice; it was like a lightning bolt," Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said on "Fox News Sunday." Feinstein chairs the Intelligence Committee. "We should have been told. There is a way to do it."
Petraeus, who was appointed 14 months ago to head the Central Intelligence Agency, announced his resignation on Friday, citing an extramarital affair. Multiple government officials tell NBC News that he had a relationship with Paula Broadwell, 40, who wrote about the general's education in her bestselling book, "All In."
Steven Boylan, who worked for the former CIA director, told NBC News that he had spoken with Petraeus over the weekend and that he said his relationship with Broadwell lasted nine or 10 months and ended four months ago.
Of Petraeus' wife, Holly, Boylan said that to suggest that she's furious is an "understatement."
On CNN, Peter King, R-N.Y., chair of the Homeland Security committee said: "It seems this has been going on for several months, but now it appears that they're saying the FBI didn't realize until Election Day that General Petraeus was involved. It just doesn't add up."
Officials tell NBC News that the affair was revealed because Broadwell sent anonymous, threatening emails to Jill Kelley, 37, described as a close friend of the Petraeus family. Kelley, who lives in the Tampa, Fla. area, was a volunteer social liaison to MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa.
Investigating who sent the emails to Kelley, the FBI discovered the connection between Petraeus and Broadwell, officials say.
Petraeus was interviewed in late October, officials told NBC News. But it wasn't until Thursday that he met with President Barack Obama, who accepted his resignation on Friday.
The woman who complained of being harassed by Paula Broadwell, General David Petraeus' biographer, has been identified as Jill Kelley, 37, a senior official tells NBC News. NBC's Kristen Welker reports.
Lawmakers question the timing not just because the news was delivered so soon after the elections, but because Petraeus was scheduled to testify Thursday about the attacks on the Benghazi, Libya consulate that resulted in the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
Those lawmakers argue that Petraeus is the key to receiving answers about the attacks.
A senior law enforcement official tells NBC News that the investigation was "overseen carefully."
"The investigation had to take a certain path, step by step. Things needed to be explored, and there were sensitivities to observe," the official said.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., however, said that he was earlier told about the situation by an FBI employee.
"I was contacted by an FBI employee concerned that sensitive, classified information may have been compromised and made certain (FBI Director Robert) Mueller was aware of these serious allegations and the potential risk to our national security," Cantor said in a statement.
"A senior law enforcement official says a call to a congressional staffer came from an agent who was initially involved in the investigation but who was later removed from the case because he knew an associate of one of the people being investigated. The agent knew someone on the Hill and called that person, a Republican staffer, according to the official. But that phone call had no effect on either the course of the investigation, the involvement of FBI Director Robert Mueller -- who was following it closely long before Cantor called him -- or the decision to notify Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, the official says."
Meanwhile, Boylan told NBC News in an interview on Saturday that he was "very surprised and shocked" at the news.
"He's not perfect, he's made a mistake," Boylan said. "I don't know if 'let down' would be right word … my first reaction was disbelief and then wondering if there wasn't somebody out there was spinning something to try to do some kind of harm 'cause that's happened in the past."
Petraeus: Battlefield 'hero' and savvy Washington insider
Boylan said he interacted with Broadwell during the early stages of research for her book. He said he didn't recall Petraeus ever commenting to him about Broadwell.

NBC News has been unable to reach Petraeus, Broadwell or Kelley for comment.
"He's not perfect, he's made a mistake," said Steven Boylan, who worked for Gen. David Petraeus before the CIA director resigned following the discovery of his extramarital affair. NBC's Kristen Welker reports.

Let me start by saying that 1st District Councilperson Tom Quirk has made some good decisions in this CZMP. Most are issues that Rebecca and I endorsed throughout the process.
I find it misleading for him, however, to be making statements that he down-zoned 43 percent of the total acreage under consideration to protect natural resources.
Planning Officer Dennis Wertz states that the approximate 114 down-zoned acres were never in danger from development and that this was done simply to clean up the zoning map, making it more uniform.
Issues 1-031 and 1-033 through 1-037 are owned by Maryland's Department of Natural Resources or Department of Forest and Parks. Issues 1-030 and 1-032 have un-located owners and are adjacent to state property. Issues 1-019 and 1-025 are owned mostly by Baltimore County.
I submitted testimony to the Planning Board referencing these issues and cautioned against using them as political rhetoric. These claims of "environmental safeguarding" are even more suspect when one realizes that Councilperson Quirk, along with all the members of County Council, went along with up-zoning nearly 1000 acres of land in the 3rd District that directly affects water quality for millions of state residents, were opposed by the Planning Board and the Smart Growth advocate, 1000 Friends of Maryland.
Speaking of "smart growth," there was one best practice up-zoning opportunity in the whole county, dealing with plans for a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) at the terminus of Interstate-70 to facilitate the future Red Line. This project was supported by 1000 Friends of Maryland and the Planning Board. The portions residing in the 4th District were up-zoned by Councilperson Ken Oliver. The portions in the 1st District weren't. I've emailed planning officials to see if they can answer this simple question: Why?
Another smart growth issue (1-008) related to a request to up-zone 40 acres, mostly zoned as rural conservation, between Jonnycake and Dogwood roads. This was done at the bequest of a $4,000 Quirk campaign donor represented by Gildea, Schmidt, and Smith who raised thousands upon thousands for this councilperson. Approximately a third of this parcel will reside in the catch zone of the proposed Red Line's terminus and needed to be up-zoned. The remainder, however, should have maintained its rural conservation zoning to keep its value low in order to facilitate an open space acquisition. The County Master Plan shows this general area as a target for high density development. The plan also states that we should acquire "parklands and recreational sites" specifically "within and/or in close proximity" to areas "where population growth will be concentrated" to "promote walkability and sustainability." Councilperson Quirk's decision to up-zone 30 acres of this parcel to Office Technology, therefore, is in direct opposition to the stated open space and smart growth goals of the Master Plan.
I apologize to our councilperson for being so critical, but I feel the development lobby that propelled him to office threatens the integrity of Smart Growth and our quality of life. In fairness to him, I believe this is a countywide problem. My concerns aren't born out of dislike for him, but rather, out of love for my community and a belief in a brighter future. I'd welcome his refusal to extend councilmatic courtesy on issues that affect water quality. I'm open to a reasonable explanation regarding the I-70 TOD. I'd encourage a course reversal on the Johnnycake Road parcel.
More than anything, I'd applaud him if he could pass legislation limiting the unilateral power of a councilperson requiring the use of metrics that conform to all aspects of the Master Plan for land use decisions.
Only by removing the corruptive influence of developers will the 1st District possibly become the model of smart growth.

Very well written, Blue. I think you've successfully exemplified the feelings of many a Perl monk.
There is certainly a greater sense of community here than most other places on the Internet. I was talking with kudra about this the other day (sorry gal, I used "that word" again). One of the things I felt was lost moving from the local BBS technology to the world-wide Internet technology was the sense of belonging and contribution to something more than just a bunch of strangers. While I don't know the people (read: regular posters) here as well as my own family and close friends, I know them a heck of a lot better than the multitudes of people on slashdot, IRC, newsgroups, etc. If nothing else, they all share my affection for my favorite language. This isn't something to be taken lightly. {eg}
Like you, I've had my growing pains here at PM... some successes, some failures. My first post was made by the infamous Anonymous Monk and got horribly shot down by those who know better. A few months later (when I had some more free time!) I came back and started posting. I will never forget the feeling when my pride and joy made it to the top ten and stayed there for a number of weeks. I too have learned not to be shy about my code, because I wouldn't be where I am without the help of others, so now it's my turn to give back. A spin on the goal of Perl, to keep simple stuff simple and tough stuff possible--get the job done knowing what you know, but accumulate what you've learned and one day you will become a master! Or at least better than you were. =)
++ for eloquence.

Previous analyses of the fossil record suggest that biodiversity tends to dip during warm, "greenhouse" phases of global temperature. Now, research published this week turns that conclusion on its head; a warming planet, it seems, may actually encourage variation in Earth's lifeforms.
But the rate of warming matters, as well — and that, note researchers, means that today's climate change could prove detrimental, yet.
The findings, which are published in this week's issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, contradict those of an influential study published five years ago, which showed an inverse relationship between warmer climates and biodiversity. Contrasting results pop up with some frequency in the scientific literature, but what makes this situation particularly interesting is that the studies were conducted by the same research group — a team of scientists led by evolutionary ecologist Peter Mayhew.
Reports Nature's Richard Lovett:
The reason for the about-face, says Mayhew... is that the earlier work measured fossil diversity by tallying the first and last appearances of each group of species, then assuming that the creatures existed only during the intervening years. This might sound logical, but overlooks the fact that some geological periods are better studied than others.
This time around, Mayhew and his colleagues accounted for these gaps in the record by excluding them entirely. "And, instead of interpolating organisms' presence from origination and extinction dates," notes Lovett, the group "merely tallied species groups present during each [well-sampled geological period]."
"This control," write the researchers, "appears to reverse the temporal association between temperature and biodiversity, such that taxonomic richness increases, not decreases, with temperature."
So does that mean that today's rising temperatures will translate to a spike in global species richness? Not necessarily. Lovett explains:
Warming produces both extinctions and originations, and in the past the originations of new species have outstripped the loss of old ones, says Mayhew. But this does not mean that today's climate change will be beneficial.
"The rate of change is very important," Mayhew says. For diversity to rise, he explains, new species need to evolve. And that takes between thousands and millions of years - much slower than the rate at which extinctions are likely to occur with today's rapid change.
The researchers' findings are published in the latest issue of PNAS. Read more from Richard Lovett over at Nature News.

Im suprised
Yesterday I went driving and I couldn't decide on where to go, and out of nowhere my sister asks me if I can drive her to Barnes and Nobles, then my other sister says she wasn't to go too. My sisters never read and this was a total surprise for me. I'm the sister who's know to read a lot, and my younger sisters are known to be the kids who watch TV and play on the computer all day. So when we get to Barnes and Nobles I figure my sisters would buy a picture book or some kind of magazine... My youngest sister Kalen buys a manga, and my other sister Megan buys the lightning thief book, I would understand if they would want to buy a book for school, but in Hawaii everyone is on summer vacation already. Kalen would always tell me that I should stop reading so much manga and read something else and yesterday she buys a manga. Megan tells me to watch more TV and all of a sudden shes buying a book. I am completely surprised and happy that my sisters are finally reading and not watching so much TV. This goes to show that people can surprise you no matter how long you've known them.

Anyone read Mangas? I love to read them, my friend in elementary got me into them and havent stopped reading them since. My dad would buy me most of the mangas that I read and I love him for it, and being my mother she completly disagrees with my decision. Theres a store in Hawaii called Colector Maniacs, they have a whole bunch of Japanese products that are always on sale! The manga books in the store are always 25% off, and they always get the books earlier than Barnes and Nobles or Borders, and I am so happy that its just 5 bus stops away. There are a lot of sites that let you read manga for free, my favorite site is onemanga.com. Check it out there are mangas with many topics such as vampires, action, romance, korean manga and so much more.

Grounded on the second day of summer vacation
This is the worst way to start summer vacation IM GROUNDED, me and my mom never get a long(if youve read my older posts you would know) My parents contradict each other everytime, and usually ask my dad what time im suppose to come home from hanging out with my friends. He says whenever if i dont have to make dinner on that day. But with my mom its the complete opposite, she tells me to come home around 11. Yesterday I hung out with my friends all day, we went everywhere. My dad knows who im hanging out with and he says i can come home anytime, this time my cousins was with me. My mom never agrees with him on that... I dont do drugs, i never ditch class so im always wondering why doesnt she trust me like my dad. Did you know my mom thinks im a lesbian? Shes crazy!!! shes seen my boyfriend, and didnt even like him. Anyways since i have no curfew i came home around 3 am, and guess who was waiting...the lady who gave birth to me. She was so pissed off, but i didnt really care, i have learned not to care and my friends know i get grounded a lot. This is sad, me becoming grounded so much that my friends ask me everytime if im grounded. So i think im grounded for a week but my dad usually talks my mom out of it, so you never know...you might see me at the beach tomorrow.
Hope no one else gets grounded like me, and if youre still in school...have fun and get good grades
if your on summer vacation and not grounded...save me!!!

How to find the right questions that I can answer?
I am new to Stack Overflow so this might be an oft repeated question. Nothing turned up in my search, so here goes:
I am curious about what different methods people use to select questions to answer. I want to adopt a suitable strategy for myself. Do people take a look at a few regular places such as unanswered, active, hot, etc. or some tag of interest?
My main concern is that with the high rate of question submission good questions may get buried too fast. It is obvious to me that Stack Overflow goes a long way to make it incredibly easy for someone to ask a question, but does it work the same way for answering questions too?
Sub question: does Stack Overflow accept user contributed features?

Acclaimed winemaker Bradley Cooper joins Naramata Winery
Naramata's award-winning Serendipity Winery is proud to introduce acclaimed Okanagan winemaker Bradley Cooper as the newest member of the Serendipity winemaking team.
Cooper is an award-winning winemaker and consultant with a background in journalism and restaurants. He currently lives in the Naramata Bench with his wife, Audralee Daum, where he created his own Black Cloud Pinot Noir brand six years ago.

Coming from Township 7 Vineyards and Winery after nine vintages, Cooper brings with him an exquisite palate and extensive winemaking expertise.
Serendipity owner, Judy Kingston, is thrilled to have Cooper as the newest addition to their winemaking team.
"Serendipity is about the real magic in life. The moments of unexpected but fortunate discovery. When Brad decided to join our winery family we knew it was one of those magical moments, and just in time for our 2014 harvest," says Kingston.
With Cooper's expert winemaking talents and passion, Kingston and the winemaking team at Serendipity looks forward to this year's harvest as a new serendipitous bond grows.
About Serendipity Winery:
Serendipity Winery, owned by Judy Kingston and assisted by second-in-command Katie O'Kell, winemaker Bradley Cooper and vineyard manager Craig MacKenzie, is located in the Okanagan Valley, B.C., in the heart of the Naramata Bench. In 2005, Kingston had a serendipitous moment when driving past an old orchard, and the result is now her award-winning vineyard and winery. From 10 acres of vines, Serendipity offers a food-friendly selection of wines, including Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Pinot Grigio, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and a Rosé, as well as blends White Lie, Devil's Advocate, Red Handed and Serenata. The wine lineup continually gathers accolades, and in 2013 the winery was named BC Winery of the Year at the New York International Wine Competition.
