Open Access Opens Doors
Are you considering using Open Access (OA) publishing?
Peer-reviewed high-impact journals abound, and a growing number of these are also Open Access (OA).
Since 2000, the number of published Open Access articles has grown at an average rate of 30% per year. This is nearly 10-fold the 3.5% annual increase in overall traditionally published articles. Traditional 'subscription' publishers are also launching Open Access journals as part of their portfolio.
These trends indicate that Open Access materials could very likely dominate academic publishing in the future.
All the benefits of peer review plus more
OA publishing is similar to traditional publishing in peer review requirements—OA published articles must pass a rigorous review to conform to scientific process standards as do traditionally published articles.
Additional benefits of OA published materials include expanded reader access and copyright ownership. The full text of OA published articles plus charts and other data addenda are searchable and available digitally with no barriers – no passwords, no subscription fees. As an author, this means that your article is widely accessible and can be read by anyone.
Articles published in traditional subscription-based journals are only available to people who subscribe (or whose libraries subscribe) to the journal. This limited access in the traditional publishing model is one reason for the recent NIH Public Access Policy which requires that all research supported by NIH funds be published in PMC, so that everyone can learn from this publicly-funded research. Learn more about how to meet the NIH requirement »
In the Open Access model, authors retain copyright to their materials versus signing it over to the publisher. Versions of the Creative Commons license represent the most standard licensing format for OA published materials.
What does it cost?
The cost of publishing exists in both the traditional and OA publishing models. Traditional publishers place the cost of publishing (peer review, editorial and production staff, computer networking, etc.) on readers – individuals and institutions that subscribe. This model limits the size of the audience to those who subscribe and also limits the number of articles that can be published to the production costs covered by subscription revenues.
Open Access publishers require authors (or their funders) to cover the cost of publishing. This model enables OA publishers to make the articles available at no cost to potential readers and also enables them to expand the number of articles published with the growth in authors and subject areas. The fee to publish an Open Access article ranges from ~ $800 to ~ $5000. Open Access publishers can be 'for profit' (such as BioMed Central or Hindawi) or 'Not For Profit' (such as the Public Library of Science).
Will I be cited?
A number of recent studies provide evidence that open access articles are cited more immediately and frequently. See:

Stanford Copyright Addendum
If your research falls under the NIH OA requirements, you must add an NIH compliant copyright addendum to the publisher's copyright agreement before you sign it.
The purpose of the addendum is to establish that the "Author retains the right to provide a copy of the final manuscript upon acceptance for publication to the NIH for public archiving in PMC as soon as possible but no later than 12 months after publication, in accordance with federal regulations."
Stanford has two versions of the addendum.
Preferred: The Preservation Version
It includes the additional condition "Author retains the right to give a copy of the final manuscript to Stanford University for preservation purposes, and further that Stanford University may make a copy of the final manuscript available to the public in any media now known or hereafter created."
Acceptable: The Basic Version
Use it if a publisher does not agree to the local preservation condition.

Upon Further Review 2012: Offense vs Iowa
HAPPY THANKSGIVING. This will be the only post today, probably.
Formation notes: You make one offhand comment about how this notes section gets boring late in the year and Al Borges goes and does that. Okay, so. For the TE/WR/RB section I am classifying Gardner as a WR and Denard as a RB when they are not at QB.
Michigan had two different backfields featuring Denard behind Gardner with one or two lead blockers flanking him. I could have called this one "offset I three-wide" but it felt more correct to note it as a Fritz variant:
Fritz 3-wide
Since Michigan does have a declared strength here I tabbed the Iowa defense here an under. They also ran the two-FB version, which is just plain old Fritz.
The thing I used to call Denard Jet also re-emerged:
And then there was… this.
In keeping with this blog's tradition of naming weird things he hasn't seen after the nearest equivalent in NCAA Football X, this was dubbed "far twin TE."
Formation lingo may not match your local football talking guy and is merely present to help facilitate communicative acts.
Substitution notes: Line as per usual. Tight ends as per usual. Joe Reynolds got some burn at wide receiver on actual passing plays, catching a long handoff type thing that Gardner clearly aborted to—about which more later—and a hitch on which it looked like he ran a nice route, for all I know about route running. Other than that, WRs were as per usual including usual lack of focus on throwing to Dileo when not throwing to Gallon or Roundtree.
Toussaint went out early with his injury; after that it was all Rawls and Smith until very late; Justice Hayes did get in at fullback(!) on a play where Michigan ran an iso. Oh and that Denard guy played some.
[AFTER THE JUMP: TURKEY no just UFR]
Tuesday Presser Transcript 11-20-12: Al Borges
"Ah. How we doin'?"
"Got a full house today! Wonder why's that?"
You draw a crowd.
"I'm being Elvis."
Speaking of a full house … what is it that you call your formation with Denard in the backfield?
"We call it, 'Denard in the backfield.' How about the word of the day? We have to take care of that."
What's the word of the day? [Chantel Jennings would like to point out that this is not an MGoQuestion.]
"Resolve. Heiko, any technical questions?"
MGo: Uh …
"The finer points of attacking quarters coverage, maybe?"
MGo: Actually, yeah.
"That was stupid. That's the stupidest thing I could have said. Go ahead."
MGoQuestion: Virginia Tech's aggressive quarters coverage made it hard for you to run the quarterback last year. Do you see that as a problem against Ohio State?
"They play totally different than Virginia Tech. Their structure is different defense. Really is. Now they may take a little bit of the same mentality, but from an X and O perspective, it's a different."
MGoFollowup: But in terms of having aggressive opposing safeties, does that make you hesitant to run the QB at all?
"Nope. Nope. Nooo."
How many possibilities can there be having both Denard and Devin on the field?
"I don't know."
Legitimately you don't know? Or do you just not want to answer?
"I don't want to answer."
Iowa Postgame Presser: Players
Denard Robinson
Thoughts on your career as a Michigan quarterback?
"It means a lot. It means -- it's hard to put into words what this means to me. Just being a leader on this team and being one of the guys that was picked by the team to be a captain and a leader. It's kind of hard to swallow right now because it's coming to an end."
What have the past three weeks been like? When did you find out that you would be able to play today?
"I've been getting treatment a lot. They've been telling me a lot of this stuff, and I've just been getting treatment, and I've been day by day and been getting better. Once I got a chance to get the go-ahead, I went out and started practicing and started playing a lot."
How desperately did you want to play in this last game? Did you have to lobby to get in the game?
"Oh no. I think everybody knew -- if they know me, they'd know I'd do whatever it takes for the team. I'm the kind of the person that if I go, I'm going to go. I'm not going to hold back because I do whatever my team [needs]. That's my family."
Iowa Postgame Presser: Brady Hoke
Opening remarks:
"It was a good game. A good football win. The seniors got to go up the tunnel singing The Victors for the last time in the stadium. We put a lot of emphasis on that because of the struggles and what they go through when you look at a guy who's been here four or five years. So it was great for them and great for our team that the younger guys, younger classmen went out there and competed for them. That's an expectation. The guys who are seniors who were playing in their last game at Michigan Stadium, I thought they did a nice job of going out there and playing 60 minutes of football."
How bittersweet is it to see your seniors play at home for the last time?
"It's always difficult because I'm a very emotional person, good or bad. So pick your poison. But we get very tight and close with the players because we are there to help them grow. From a personal life standpoint to an academic, to social, to everything else, they're one of your sons, and that's how we look at it."
When did you make the decision for Denard to play, and when did you decide on his role?
"I didn't make the decision for him to play. Once he got cleared, he felt good healthwise. We had talked about doing this for 18 months. You know, Al, when he got home last week after the Northwestern game, that night he had nine plays ready. And then we put six more in. I think Al does a tremendous job of taking your personnel and the playmakers that you have on your team and having the ability to get them the ball and let their god-given ability take over."
How much do you know about Fitz's situation?
"He's in the hospital now and he's had surgery. I think we'll leave it at that for now and make sure -- his mother wasn't here, he had two brothers here -- but we'll leave it for that."
How important was it to try out the Devin-Denard offense before the Ohio State game?
"You know, next week really never had anything to do with it. We had to beat Iowa. We're still in a championship race. We wanted to win this game for our seniors and also because we're still in a race for the championship."
Was there any thought of using Denard as a passer or did you just decide to give him a limited role?
"Well, I think it would be unjust for us not to use him in the best way that we thought would let him be the most successful. He's throwing the ball a little bit, not throwing it a lot, so we thought this was the best. This kid has put up with a lot of criticism at times and also he's been praised at times --"
[Someone's phone goes off, ring tone is "The Victors"]
"That's a good song. He's a competitive guy who loves the game and loves his teammates, and he showed great maturity the last three weeks and great leadership."
Along those lines, did you have to do any convincing with Denard to tell him that he wouldn't play quarterback?
"No … He wanted to play. Where could he help us best playing?"
Can he throw the ball?
"Yeah. But not as well as he'd like to."
Can you talk about Denard and how hard it might be for a senior quarterback to not call plays in the huddle?
"Well, I think it tells you what kind of kid he is. What kind of a young man, I should say. And his development, his growth, his character, and the integrity -- this kid had some unbelievable moments here at Michigan and Michigan Stadium and have had some moments that weren't so good, but he's grown within this team, and this is his team. Him and Kovacs, all the seniors have a big piece of it, and I know that Devin said it the other day: he has been the face of Michigan football."
Devin had six touchdowns…
"Say that again? I'm sorry."
Devin had six touchdowns. They looked pretty easy for him. Can you tell us about his development?
"Um. He had six touchdowns?"
He had six touchdowns.
"Did he really. See, I don't remember that stuff."
He was pretty good.
"I -- well, I think you answered the question. He was pretty good."
Did you hear the crowd chanting "Beat Ohio"?
"Yeah, and I said to someone next to me, 'We need to beat Iowa.' "
You haven't lost at home in two years. Is there something to that?
"I think there's always, and you see it all kinds of sports, playing at home is something that's treated us well. Familiarity with everything. I wish I could tell you. I just think there's a comfort, I guess."
Have your teams always been so much better at home?
"I have no clue. Again, it's something that I don't think about."
Is this your offense moving forward, or could Denard move back to quarterback full time?
"Um … I don't know. I guess he could. I don't know. It's an option."
When was Denard cleared, and what did he have to do to get cleared? Can he grip the ball?
"Yeah. Yeah."
When was he cleared?
"What's today? Saturday? Probably six days ago."
Is he cleared for good now, or do you have to go through another process? Is he day to day?
"He might be day to day."
You talked about being an emotional person. You've just beaten Iowa, but what does the Ohio State game mean to you?
"It's fun."
It's fun?
"It's fun. Because it's a great rivalry and there's a lot of respect on both sides for those programs. For both programs. It's fun. You asked? It's fun. It's going to be fun."
You had a lot of success in vertical passing. How come?
"I think some play action set it up. And then I think Gallon made a terrific catch with concentration. The ball was where it needed to be, and it was defended pretty decently. I think one of the best throws and catches was an out on the sideline to Roy. I thought Roy did a nice job with his hands. That's one thing I said this last week, but I thought Roy is catching the ball more with his hands and not with his body as he had earlier."
When did you see that change for him?
"Eh, shoot. I don't know. Some time. Probably in practice."
It looked like you threw out things for Ohio State to think about. Is that something you planned to do?
"If I was that smart to do that, I would have done that. But no, we were trying to beat Iowa. We were trying to put our players -- because it would be selfish of us as coaches for us not to give these kids the best chance to win a football game. And whatever we do offensively or defensively or prepare, if we don't do that then we're short-selling this program and these seniors and these kids, and we're not going to do that."
You said you've been planning this offense since 18 months ago. What prevented you from using it earlier?
"How would I answer this …"
"Um. I would say, in doing it, it would have been done kind of like we did last year a little bit more when we had both of them on the field. And we just added to it. And we just added to it. And there's a maturity level for everybody to be able to handle those things."
So do you mean Denard at quarterback and Devin at receiver?
"Maybe. Sort of."
Synergy between Gardner and the receivers?
"Yeah, and I think there's a lot of truth to all of that. But I think our front's blocking better. Part of it is the play-action game. Part of it is the play-action out of the I-back. I think that's helped."
How tough is it for the defense to prepare for your new formations?
Well, you have to spend some time on it. So sometimes that's the biggest thing. You're spending time maybe on a formation that was run maybe three times and thinking, okay, what can you do out of it, what can they do out of it? So as a coach, you're spending your time, and then you're taking practice time. So it's time. And there's one thing none of us have, is a lot of time."
How confident are you that your team can quickly move on to Ohio State?
"Well they're going to have to. I'm pretty confident in how our seniors have led and how we've gone to work every Sunday, win and lose."
"Yeah. You know … we missed some sacks. We don't tackle. They're knocking us off the line of scrimmage earlier. It was awful."
Desmond Morgan?
"We thought he'd be ready, but he's not."
Gary Moeller was honored today --
"Yeah, it was cool."
What did that mean to you?
"Means a lot. Coach Mo as a person, as a coach, as a man. Means a lot. Means a lot to Michigan."
Hokepoints: The Difference a Devin Makes
A good idea. / Also a good idea. / Not a good idea. (Upchurch)
Before we begin, since this is a Denard/Gardner comparison post, let's get this part out of the way:
Is Gardner a palatable Big Ten QB?
Is Gardner a good QB?
Yes, I really think so.
So even if Denard is 100 percent…
NO!!! Two good starts from our 2013 starting signalcaller, albeit against two of the conference's worst pass defenses, are good things. Let's not ruin them by allowing the kind of people who see the world in Tall-Passer-Lloydball Pearl and Small-Scrambly-Spreadrod Onyx to, you know, start all that again.
But I am interested in knowing just how good Gardner has played. I'm also interested in how everything else about our offense changed when Gardner went in for Denard, and how defenses reacted to it. What did it do to the receiver corps to lose him, and what to the formations and personnel? 2012 is nice and all but I want to know what 2013 is going to look like now! Since this week was a better test and a better performance to the eye than what he did against Minnesota after one week of not being a receiver, I think we need Northwestern data. In fact I was so impatient I decided to not wait for Brian to UFR the offense this week and did it myself…in a mini version.
Drive 1:
Ln | Dn | Ds | O-Form | RB | TE | WR | D Form | Type | Yards | Charted |
M25 | 1 | 10 | I-Form | 2 | 1 | 2 | 4-3 over | Pass | 7 | CA |
M32 | 2 | 3 | Ace | 1 | 3 | 2 | 4-3 over | Run | 6 | - |
M38 | 1 | 10 | Pro | 2 | 1 | 2 | 4-3 over | Pass | Inc | BA |
M38 | 2 | 10 | I-Form | 2 | 2 | 1 | 4-3 over | Run | 0 | - |
M38 | 3 | 10 | Shotgun | 1 | 0 | 4 | Okie | Pass | Inc | DO |
5 plays, 13 yards, 13 mins left in the 1st quarter. Score: 0-0 |
We establish a few things, like Michigan is going under center, and Northwestern is going to defend that with the 4-3 over, and even 6'4 quarterbacks get batted sometimes. Easy out to Gallon that was still open all day, one batted, one perfect downfield throw on a blitz that was dropped by Jerald Robinson. Northwestern gives up on blitzing for the rest of the day. Michigan gives up on receivers.
Drive 2: Borges makes it rain RPS…
Ln | Dn | Ds | O-Form | RB | TE | WR | D Form | Type | Yards | Charted |
M22 | 1 | 10 | Ace | 1 | 2 | 2 | 4-3 over | Pass | 6 | CA |
M28 | 2 | 4 | Shotgun | 2 | 1 | 2 | 4-3 over | Run | -6 | - |
M22 | 3 | 10 | Shotgun | 1 | 0 | 4 | Nickel even | Pass | 10 | DO |
M32 | 1 | 10 | Ace | 1 | 2 | 2 | 4-3 over | Pass | 5 | SCR |
M37 | 2 | 5 | Shotgun | 1 | 1 | 3 | Nickel even | Run | 3 | - |
M40 | 3 | 3 | Shotgun | 2 | 0 | 3 | Nickel even | Pass | 4 | SCR |
M44 | 1 | 10 | I-Form | 2 | 2 | 1 | 4-3 over | Run | -5 | - |
M39 | 2 | 15 | Ace | 1 | 2 | 2 | 4-3 over | Pass | 32 | CA |
O31 | 1 | 10 | I-Form | 2 | 2 | 1 | 4-3 over | Penalty | 5 | NC |
O26 | 1 | 5 | I-Form | 2 | 2 | 1 | 4-3 over | Penalty | 17 | NC |
O9 | 1 | 10 | I-Form | 2 | 2 | 1 | 4-3 over | Run | 0 | - |
O9 | 2 | 10 | Ace | 1 | 2 | 2 | 4-3 over | Pass | 9 | SCR |
10 plays, 78 yards, 2:30 left in the 1st quarter. Score: 7-0 Michigan. |
This is the drive when Michigan started inserting superfluous apostrophes into the snap count (Wilcat's HATE that!). Note the CA on the 32-yard pass to Roundtree. That's close to "MA" since it's behind the receiver, but not so much that it changed Roundtree's momentum when he reached back to get it. Also note that NW's cornerback is awful.

Tuesday Presser Transcript 10-9-12: Al Borges
Al Borges
"How's it goin'?"
All right.
"How we doin'?"
"What's happenin'?"
Not much.
"Where's your glasses?"
I don't wear them every day. Yours look good though.
"You're losing the effect. I've gone to all glasses. People started to think I was dumb. Now they just think I'm dumb with glasses.
"All right, you guys. Let's have it."
Were you surprised by how Purdue defended you?
"They played a little more 3-4 than I thought. They had -- it's not like we didn't prepare for it, but there was a little more 30 front than we thought, but the back end was kind of as we anticipated. There's always a little nuance to handle Denard, the kind that guys borrow from other teams they watch on tape they think they might have had some success playing Denard, so they take pieces of that, and if they think it fits their team."
Did you feel like they were trying to take away Fitz?
"Oh no doubt. If you watch the tape, they were following Fitz all over the field. Fitz had very good running opportunities on 17 carries. I went over the whole tape. It was the good news and the bad news though. We pulled a couple zone reads when they were all over Fitz, and Denard was wide open down field. It wasn't like it was bad. It just didn't make Fitz's numbers look very good, but he helped us win the game, you know, kind of like a guy that has a sacrifice bunt. Helps you win the game. That was kind of the way they decided to defend us."

CHARLOTTE -- Tuesday night, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School Board passed a plan to give employees cost of living raises as well as hire additional teachers.
But the plan comes with contingencies. The legislature approved the state budget but the governor has yet to sign it and has until Sunday to veto or let it pass.
A unanimous vote to approve a 3 percent raise for all employees and to hire 62 new teachers to cut down ninth grade class sizes carried in Tuesday night's meeting.
The raises are also contingent on $18.5 million the county commission currently has in a restricted fund.

Child Boxing in Thailand: is it child exploitation?
This news has been broadcast at ABC 20/20 on Oct9, 2007.
How Young Is too Young to Be a Prize Fighter?
The Business of Muay Thai Martial Arts in Thailand
By CHARLES LYONS
Oct. 9, 2007 —
Two 8-year-old Thai girls, wearing colorful headbands, shorts and T-shirts, their cheeks painted red, perform a slow ritualistic dance in a makeshift boxing ring. They kneel and bless their respective corners before facing off and striking a pose.
This is the spiritual part to Muay Thai, Thailand's 700-year-old martial art, seen at one time as the best means for the country to defend itself against foreign invasion. In modern times, Muay Thai is scarcely a weapon for national security; it's a fierce and urgent sport. But for thousands of children and their parents around rural Thailand, it's also one of the few avenues through which they can escape extreme poverty.
As young girls and boys wildly kick and punch each other in rural rings across Thailand, spectators (farmers, trainers, families, friends) place their bets. Each child stands to change his or her family's fortune with a winning blow. In fact, the victor of most fights will make more money in an hour than a farmer or factory worker earns in a month. More specifically, the average take-home pay for a kid boxer is between 700 Baht ($22) and 1,000 Baht ($31). With monthly rents often as low as 1,900 Baht ($60), a child's win in the ring can represent half of a family's monthly rent.
"When I first saw it, I absolutely thought it was child abuse," filmmaker Todd Kellstein told "20/20" co-anchor Elizabeth Vargas. "I thought it was horrible. & It was evil fathers and mothers who didn't care about their child."
Fighting for Survival
Kellstein says his views evolved as he documented child fighting in Thailand's remote provinces for two years for his film "Raised in the Ring."
The documentary tracks the maturation of two young prize fighters: Stam, 8, a striking, vivacious girl; and Nong Pet, 9, subdued and serious. Both girls' families desperately needed the cash and both appeared happy to help out.
"I fight to make my mom and dad happy," Stam told Kellstein through a translator. "They work very hard, and I am very, very poor." Similarly, Nong Pet, through a translator, said that she gives her money to her parents so they "can pay the rent and buy stuff."
Nong Pet, who came from even greater poverty than Stam, wins the first match between the two. Soon, however, the tables turn. Stam beats Nong Pet several times and becomes the most successful girl boxer in Thailand at her weight class (20 kilos, or 44 pounds); she currently commands a guaranteed 2,000 Baht ($63) per fight, plus a piece of whatever the total betting purse is. Her earnings are so substantial they enable her to buy her parents a new home. Meanwhile, Nong Pet's situation worsens during the time Kellstein films her she was forced to take an exhibition match in a brothel, accepting tips from Westerners.
Although he wasn't sure about the long-term effects of Muay Thai on children, Kellstein ultimately found it to be an economic necessity. "I don't think we really understand it," he told Vargas. "We don't have poverty on that level."
According to a World Bank report, the per capita income of Thailand averages $3,316 per year, whereas in the United States, the per capita average, according to the same report, is roughly $43,400.
Financial realities aside, Kellstein's film invites questions about the age of the children involved in Muay Thai and the extent to which international child labor laws and children's rights are being violated.
Kellstein says that despite the bruises, bloody noses and hard kicks to the stomach he witnessed, he doesn't feel the children are being exploited; their parents, he said, love them very much and the kids are happy to help support them.
'Narrow Economic Margins'
However, groups in Thailand still object to the practice. In 1999, the Foundation for Child Rights Protection Centre in Bangkok, for example, tried to persuade the Thai government to ban child boxing. The motion failed when farmers from the provinces banded together, arguing that the farming economy would collapse if such fights were outlawed. Still, the foundation hopes a new petition to the government, scheduled for December, this year will bring child boxing to a stop, according to the organization's president, Sanpasit Kumpraphan.
Walter Mead, a senior fellow at the Council of Foreign Relations, explains that betting on child Muay Thai fights is indeed essential to the Thai economy.
"You have to understand that many of these farmers live on very narrow economic margins," he said, "and generally speaking, unfortunately in a lot of the world, poor people can't borrow money easily or cheaply. Often they have to borrow it from illegal money lenders, who charge you serious rates of interest."
Mead explained that the need for cash, after a bad crop year, is compounded in Thailand by a rabid consumerism. "More and more now in Thailand," he said, "you can start to access some of the things that you and I take for granted, like a radio or a television. & Those things take cash."
Regarding child labor, Mead stressed that in many countries it's unusual if children don't have to do serious work. "The idea that childhood is a time of play and of education is something that 200 years ago almost nobody in the world had," he said.
Is it really just Western sensibilities that make Americans shocked to see young girls punching each other without head gear as adults bet on them?
"We, Americans, we live in kind of a bubble-wrapped world and our kids live in a bubble-wrapped world," Mead said. "Life out there in much of the world has choices that we can hardly imagine. & Thailand has a very large commercial sex industry, so in that sense it's progress if girls are going to the fighting ring rather than the brothel. You have to hope that some years from now they won't be going to either one."
For his part, Kellstein said he no longer gets angry about parents allowing their children to fight. "The thing I get angry about is that there is so much inequality in the world and that economic situations like this arise," he said. "These circumstances exist and we should think of ways to make it better for everyone. Not just in Thailand, but everywhere."

Records just released to PETA by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) show that notorious elephant exhibitor Have Trunk Will Travel (HTWT) was cited by the agency in late August 2012 for violating the Animal Welfare Act (AWA), following a complaint submitted by PETA.
Perilous for Pachyderms—and the Public
According to its newly released inspection report, the USDA cited HTWT for failing to comply with the AWA requirement that a knowledgeable and experienced handler have direct control and supervision of elephants during public exhibition.
Not only do elephant rides endanger humans and elephants, they're also cruel. After Animal Defenders International released video footage showing that adult and baby elephants cried out in pain as HTWT trainers repeatedly struck them with sharp metal-tipped bullhooks and shocked them with electric prods in 2011, numerous venues severed all ties with the company. It's simply unconscionable for fairs and other attractions to keep hosting HTWT given its history of abuse and endangerment.
What You Can Do
Please join PETA in urging the San Diego County Fair to join the ranks of the Orange County Fair, the Santa Ana Zoo, and the L.A. County Fair and stop hosting HTWT or any other providers of elephant rides.
If you have a general question for PETA and would like a response, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. If you need to report cruelty to an animal, please click here. If you are reporting an animal in imminent danger and know where to find the animal and if the abuse is taking place right now, please call your local police department. If the police are unresponsive, please call PETA immediately at 757-622-7382 and press 2.

LWN.net Weekly Edition for June 13, 2013
A report from pgCon 2013
Little things that matter in language design
So I work for Red Hat on community organizing, and have been involved with many discussions directly with real software vendors (ISVs) who range from a spectrum of "all code is already open source but no community around it" to "maybe we'll open source something one day."
This assertion that companies get treated poorly in open communities is not an uncommon fear of these companies. But where is the evidence?
When I have observed these many companies interacting in open communities, or thinking about it, or doing anything, it is rare that I have seen a truly poor interaction that originated from someone in the community. Some mis-communication happens, but rarely, rarely is it an outright attack of the sort Mr. Shuttleworth tells hearsay about.
Aside from the general recognition to treat all potential contributors fairly, even corporations, in the last decade there has been a growth in professional open source developers who impact the quality of discussion in the open communities. I'm sure there ARE companies who have bad experiences, and I'm sure that a percentage of those are not directly at fault for that reaction. But is it an actual problem? Or just perceived as one?
What are the real facts? How close is the reality to the unsupported assertion Mr. Shuttleworth seems to simply repeat?
Considering that this is cornerstone of his long-thinking on the subject, I would hope he has at least done some market research. Not just talked with peer executives at other ISVs, who all repeat the same urban legends without any more evidence than hearsay.
My contrast, I turn to Dr. Dan Frye, who is the VP of IBM's open source developer group. In the below video, he talks about how THEY made the mistakes in their initial forays in to open source development. He didn't blame the community for their reaction. He fixed his house. Today, IBM has a process for evaluating how to join an open source community so they can avoid stomping in with giant boots-of-destruction:

Agreed, nor am I imagining my own experience. (Which is that more companies strangle themselves in the open source crib than get strangled by external folks.)
But I'm not claiming my experience is the way things are, everywhere, and asking others to accept that anecdotal experience as unverified fact. Nor am I using it as the basis for an unpopular position.
Posted May 17, 2011 21:38 UTC (Tue) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link]
if saying that is an unpopular position, then more people need to take such an unpopular position.
Posted May 17, 2011 22:32 UTC (Tue) by quaid (guest, #26101) [Link]
If the problem isn't as he describes it, then perhaps his conclusion of what to do is not the right answer?
His direction regarding CLAs is at least called in to question if he is basing that direction on the opinion that there is a wide spread problem if there is no evidence of that problem other than anecdotal.
Posted May 18, 2011 1:06 UTC (Wed) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link]
I don't think that his solution will solve the problem, but I think he's entitled to try it and see if he can make it work (there are a lot of companies out there that I would not have thought that there was enough to make it work)
I would disagree with straight copyright assignment, but I don't see anything fundamentally wrong with the right to dual license (which is not the same as making proprietary derivatives). I see this as giving people who want to use the code two options 'support the project by contributing code' or 'support the project by contributing money so that the project can buy time to generate code'.
I know that some people are not willing to accept that as choice for their code (especially if they are outsiders, not part of the organization that would be getting the money), and to those folks I would say, find a different project to contribute to, there's no shortage of worthy causes. I will also guarantee that you will not always agree with the choices the organization makes, and for that it doesn't matter what organization, be it Cannonical or the FSF.
Posted May 18, 2011 8:33 UTC (Wed) by dneary (subscriber, #55185) [Link]
I've witnessed numerous cases where companies start to open something and have people attacking them publicly
As have I.
I would say that there are a number of factors at play here:
Companies who are honest about the extent of their investment in community projects get a lot of credit. Companies who are not honest about the extent of their investment (potentially to themselves) get criticised.
What I mean by this is: if a company makes an announcement that "we're releasing software X, it's going to be completely community run", and then the governance rules are blatantly skewed to favour the company, then they're going to be criticised. If instead they say "we're releasing this as open source software, but we plan to continue maintaining the core (but patch proposals are welcome)" they will get a free pass.
Companies who leave themselves open to criticism like this lose respect fast, and there is a significant faction in most communities that are extremely, aggressively harsh towards entities they don't respect.
This is not a good state of affairs - and I would like to see the vocal minority think of companies as groups of individuals, each worthy of basic respect, rather than a big amorphous entity that you can freely kick around without hurting anyone's feelings.
Companies which are trusted, and lose that trust, have a long, hard battle to gain it back.
Take the example of Sun, who announced open-sourcing of Solaris after a successful collaboration with GNOME. They never recovered from the criticism they got for OpenSolaris, Java, etc - and nothing they did (including for example relicencing Java as GPL) was good enough to regain the trust they'd lost by messing up the initial release of OpenSolaris. Canonical feels to me to be in a similar situation - slowly spending their community capital and progressively losing the trust of their supporters, until no matter what they do they will be criticised because it won't be good enough.
This is a really hard situation to be in as a company. If you mess up your first interaction with a project, you can spend years repairing the relationship & regaining trust. You do it in baby steps, by showing that you're learning, by entrusting individuals to represent you in communities, and by having those individuals do things in the community's interests.
On the other hand, I have seen companies progressively increase their interaction with communities, and each additional step is met with approval and thanks. Or companies that are forthright that while their product is free software, that they're going to maintain control of their core product, and that's been accepted by their user community. The difference is in the fall from grace and loss of trust. So my best advice to companies thinking about interacting with a free software community is: start small, be honest with yourself & others. Gain trust through your actions, and then handle that trust carefully.
Posted May 18, 2011 22:08 UTC (Wed) by vonbrand (subscriber, #4458) [Link]
Sorry, but Sun did not fix their problem with Java (witness the heat Oracle is now raining on Android over that same code) or their other open source projects (placing OpenSolaris under their expressly not GPL compatible license). So it isn't that they invested years of hard work in regaining confidence, they lost whatever they had fair and square and did precious little to gain it back.
Posted May 19, 2011 7:23 UTC (Thu) by dneary (subscriber, #55185) [Link]
The main problem people had with Java is "it's not released under the GPL". Then it was. But that was too late, the confidence had been lost, and so people were looking for the catch, and they found it - "the conformance suit isn't available under a free licence".
If Sun's first announcement was "Java released under GPL, but Sun to maintain control of Java trademark" then I think everyone's reaction would have been "fair enough, woohoo". Because this was a 2nd or 3rd step, after an initial "freeing Java" announcement (and in combination with the history around Solaris), people were saying "boo, hiss - holding something back".
Which I think was mostly unfair.
> placing OpenSolaris under their expressly not GPL compatible license
Since when does every free software licence have to be GPL compatible? It would have been nice, but releasing it as free software is better than not releasing it as free software. This is a case in point of what Mark is saying - "not enough" is an all too frequent chant.
Cheers, Dave.

You forgot 'passing the non-free conformance test is a condition for being able to use the numerous wide-reaching patents over which we will eventually sue you'. As catches go, a massive lawsuit probably counts as quite a big one.
Posted May 19, 2011 15:13 UTC (Thu) by dneary (subscriber, #55185) [Link]
Ah, I don't care about patents, and I encourage every other free software developer not to care about patents. It is an issue orthogonal to software freedom and the licence of the software.
Posted May 19, 2011 15:34 UTC (Thu) by nye (guest, #51576) [Link]
Do you have any justification for this rather extraordinary assertion?
> and the licence of the software.
Yes, obviously.
Posted May 19, 2011 15:39 UTC (Thu) by dneary (subscriber, #55185) [Link]
The Linux kernel is patent encumbered. The GIMP saved GIFs when LZW was still patented.
This does not prevent either from being free software.
Mind me asking what was extraordinary about my assertion?

Are you saying that ALL software is covered by patents? That seems implausible.

I would say *proven* to infringe a patent. And that needs a court case. And a bucketload of money. And not $1 bills.
So, all software is free, and the patent system is broken, and keeps approving patents which, if challenged, would be invalidated. So, as I said, I don't worry about patents, and I don't think a patent should ever be a reason not to write a piece of free software.

In the ever-changing world of the USPTO to comply with changes in the AIA, satellite offices are being established remote from the Alexandria headquarters. A first branch was opened July 13 in Detroit, with others to follow in Denver, Dallas, and Silicon Valley. The stated purposes are included in the enacting law, and are worth going through with a critical eye.
The first purpose is to "increase outreach activities to better connect patent filers and innovators with the Office." The way this seems most likely to happen is with an increase in interviews, more specifically video interviews, as is indicated will be possible in the Detroit office, and hopefully will also be the case for each of the other satellite offices. Aside from that, unless the Patent Office opens up the satellite offices to in-person interviews, I cannot see how outreach will increase by that much. Mixers with examiners probably wouldn't be social events of the season. Levity aside, reaching out to individual inventors through outreach programs at the satellite offices could be a real boon to garage-inventor types, encouraging them to start pursuing patent protection for inventions where they otherwise might not be aware or be somewhat disillusioned or discouraged from doing so.
The second stated purpose is to "enhance patent examiner retention." This might be the most worthwhile of the goals of the satellite offices. Unfortunately, it might also be the most difficult to achieve. Ostensibly, it seems like the thinking is if an examiner lives near a satellite office, their satisfaction with the job will increase, hence increasing retention. However, I can easily imagine the scenario where now, an examiner can put in his time as an examiner in the technology hub of his choice, selected from any of the satellite office locations, all the meanwhile starting his search for his next position as a patent agent or attorney, depending on his education background. Time will tell which scenario plays out.
The third stated purpose is to "improve recruitment of patent examiners." I'm not too sure how this one will play out. Will representatives from the patent office tour nearby engineering and life sciences programs at local universities, trolling for recruits? Perhaps it will be the aforementioned mixers that generates interest in employment at the satellite offices.
The fourth stated purpose is to "decrease the number of patent applications waiting for examination." There are of course two obvious ways to reduce the backlog of applications: increase the examining core, and reduce the average pendency for applications. In announcing the opening of the Detroit office, the USPTO said 120 highly-skilled positions would be created. I don't know how many examiners will be included in that number, but there is a good chance a significant portion of those positions will be examiners.
The fifth and final purpose is to "improve the quality of patent examination." This seems to be a derivative benefit of the enhancing retention and improving recruitment of examiners. If in fact examiners are successfully recruited and retained as a result of the satellite offices, it stands to reason the quality of examination would go up. We've seen a mix of problems and solutions to attacking the backlog dilemma, with varying degree of success. However, there seems to be agreement that the satellite offices will be a net benefit to the system, with many of the questions discussed above remaining open. One thing is certain; with the increasing rate of applications being submitted, bold action must be taken to tackle the backlog of applications, before it becomes as unwieldy as some other government figures.

The dues that clubs pay to Rotary through the semiannual report (SAR) allow the Secretariat to provide high-quality support to Rotarians around the world.
Here are some suggestions for club officers who submit SAR dues:
a. Update information at least twice a year, and no later than 1 June and 1 December.
b. Make sure that the names of all current officers are correctly entered in the system and that all future officers are named no later than 31 May.
c. Ensure that email addresses for all members, especially current and future officers, are current.
d. Set up a club email address that can be transitioned to future officers in order to help maintain a consistent flow of communications with Rotary.
RI per capita dues are as follows:
All clubs will also be billed $1 per person on their July semiannual invoice to help defray the costs of the Council on Legislation, which meets every three years. Some semiannual invoices may also include variable charges for The Rotarian magazine (subscriptions to Rotary regional magazines are billed separately), and variable fees for insurance (U.S. clubs only). See the Manual of Procedure for more information.
All club semiannual dues are due and payable on 1 July and 1 January. Every named club officer will receive an electronic copy of the SAR at the end of June and December. Every named club secretary will receive a paper semiannual report packet, which includes the dues invoice, in early July and early January (unless your club has opted out of the paper SAR). If your club has not received a packet by the third week of July or January, please send a request for a replacement packet to email@example.com, including your club name and number and delivery address or fax number. Remember, club dues are due and payable even if you have not received the packet.
Rotary International exchange rates are re-evaluated monthly. Payments will be received and credited at the official RI exchange rate applicable at the time payment is received. Please refer to the exchange rates page in order to see Rotary's current exchange rates.
Club presidents, treasurers, and secretaries can pay semiannual dues in several ways:
If you have questions about the semiannual dues invoice or need information about where to send payments, please contact your RI financial representative.
For the most accurate semiannual dues invoice, please make sure your club's membership information is up to date by no later than 1 December for the January SAR and 1 June for the July SAR. Any changes made after those dates will not be reflected on your club's SAR or dues account.
Your club's membership information can be updated in one of these ways:
Important note: Even if your club updates its membership information online, a copy of the completed and signed worksheet (PDF) must be submitted to RI Data Services by fax at 847-733-9340 or sent to email@example.com . The worksheet should indicate the club name, club number, officers' names, and the number of members and subscriptions for the semiannual report period. This information is needed for RI to adjust your club's semiannual dues balance and to satisfy the SAR submission requirement.
Remember, to use Member Access, club presidents and secretaries will first need to register. For more information, visit the Rotary E-Learning Center.
Clubs that have not paid their RI dues within six months of the due date will be terminated. Clubs will then have one year to fulfill the following reinstatement requirements:
Within 90 days from the termination date, clubs must
Between 91 and 365 days after the termination date, clubs must
Reinstatement is not possible more than 365 days from the termination date. After that time, the club termination is permanent, and the club loses its name, history, and charter.

I think Daniel did a great job explaining everything so you'd better read the whole post, but in a few words the PureView Phase II focuses around a "floating lens" and pulse LED. Floating lens is a spring-based mechanism that corrects the lens' position so that videos appear drastically less shaky. Pulse LED fires a shot burst of lights to freeze an object - imagine using a DSLR if you have, should be something like that.

On engadget interview Elop said the competitor shot is from Samsung Galaxy 3

Yep, you could even recognize that "nature inspired" design in the launch video, in the jig with the L920 next to it. Man, those images made the S3 look like a child's toy.

Nice! Can really see the difference in video quality with the OIS on/off. But the photographs, wonder how sharp they are in details! Anyway, Good Job on PureView Phase 2, wondering what Phase 3 will be. The best of Phase 1 and 2 combined together? :P

megapixels dont mean anything about quality. That is simply the size of the image it can take. The biggest factor is hardware and software, not MPX.
If those images were not doctored, then they are in fact.. very impressive and it will most likely be the mainstream phone camera to beat.
Those night time pix with the chick by the road had a really cool effect with the cars blurring behind it.
45. Suts_97 posted on 06 Sep 2012, 04:47 0 0
Yes, that's true...I just hope that the photos are almost as impressive, if not as the Nokia 808 Pureview.

Agreed, Daniel did great. I just got goosebumps as i read and went through the photos! It is definitely an advancement in cameraphone tech.
And all those whinning below about what they saw, i don't care, the photos can't be fake. Nokia has made two exclusive innovations in camera tech, and i'm glad it is Nokia. All i'm waiting for, now, is the reviews.
31. lumialove posted on 05 Sep 2012, 14:51 1 1
the F/2.0 aperture is the lowest found any smartphone. Think of aperture as how "open" a lens can get—the more open, the more light comes in. That's crucial as light is what camera's crave and is the key to getting a good image. You want to buy an expensive lens for your DSLR? Search for one with an F/1.4 aperture—basically the lower the number, the better. Reaching F/2.0 on a camera-phone is a pretty big deal, make no mistake about it. It will also greatly help to make your photos better as the shutter speed can go faster.
back-side illuminated sensors (BSI) —it's what is found on the iPhone, Titan II and many Samsung phones. It puts the wires behind the sensor, allowing more light to be received and once again, making brighter photos. We've wanted Nokia to do this for a very long time and now they have.
The Lumia 900, Lumia 920 and 808 PureView
Sensor size is also crucial. Here, the bigger the better and the fact is, most smartphones have tiny sensors. Why do some "pro" DSLRs cost so much? It's because they have a giant sensor (it's also why they're so big). The Lumia 920 sports a 1/1.4" sensor that beats many phones who roll with a smaller 1/2.5". That brings us to megapixels…
Photographers hate megapixel discussions because it's all consumers focus on, instead of all of the above. It's often the least important aspect as those pixels won't improve your photo much. It's good for cropping, yes, but other than that?
Nokia said they could have added more than the 8MP to that 1/1.4" sensor, as some of their competitors have on their devices. But as we mentioned last night, jamming more megapixels on a sensor can have negative consequences, like reduce image quality. The more pixels on a sensor, the more light you need to illuminate them all. In turn, cameras with high megapixel count tend to have worse low-light performance. That's right folks, putting 16MP or 32MP into a camera can be a bad thing, especially if it's on a small sensor.
No, Nokia took the good route here—the one that photographers would have preferred: larger, BSI sensor with less megapixels so there is less noise in low light conditions.
Throw in their whole "Floating lens", which is a mechanical form of image stabilization (aka better than software based) and we're talking a whole new category of a camera phone. I'VE seen some of the images and so far, I really like what we see. Expect more in the future

Smokestacks and the factory around it helped to put Hershey chocolate on the map.
It's probably the most famous factory in the Susquehanna Valley, but it might not keep it's iconic appearance for long.
The Hershey Company wants to knock down much of the old plant.
While the company is awaiting approval for demolition, it invited News 8 to tour the inside of the iconic factory.
The old factory on the east side of the complex, for the most part, emptied out when operations moved to the west side earlier this year.
Dusty pieces of machinery that haven't been turned on for some time are still present inside the factory.
"It's sad. There's no question, it's sad but necessary. Five years from now, we'll be very happy if this is able to move forward, that we were able to truly redevelop the downtown," said Jeff Edleman of the Hershey Company.
Outdated equipment that is too outdated to reasonably renovate occupy the plant. Equipment such as conches were used to refine chocolate under the weight of 200-pound stones. Technology has advanced since then and so they are no longer operational.
The Hershey Company is planning to not only remove the equipment, but knock down the buildings around it and has already started doing so.
The company doesn't see a future in the buildings with low ceilings and unmovable steel columns.

Major Nelson has warned that next week's 360 update will see the BLOCKING of 'unauthorized' Xbox 360 storage devices. By this we think he means unofficial hard-drives and also Datel's memory unit but time will tell.
Here's exactly what the Major said at his online blog:
"When Preview Program members start receiving the Xbox 360 system update next week, one of the changes is that unauthorized Memory Units will no longer work with the Xbox 360. If you've moved your profile or saved games onto one to "back it up," you'd better move it back onto an authorized Xbox 360 storage device prior to taking the update. If you continue to use an unauthorized Memory Unit after the update, you will not be able to access your stored profile or saved games.
If you need help identifying officially licensed Xbox 360 storage devices or accessories you can read more about the licensed accessories program on Xbox.com"

I need camera bar
I installed the camera bar file from bb10, and my camera is broken now. can someone tell me where I can get the one for bbos 2.1

If you broke it, most cases with core apps simply replacing the .bar won't work. Better off just downloading the OS and just reloading it.
Excuse me, I'm making perfect sense. You're just not keeping up.

they might charge for a relpacement one. - 01-09-2013, 02:12 PM #4
I believe Scrid had made a video camera bar file you can get in appworld. It would at least let you know if the camera is working. Did you try video chat to see if the camera works?

First you have to uninstall the camera app with DDPB.
Just select the app (bb10camera.bar) and hit uninstall. Than You can reinstall the 2.1 camera app.
If that won't wont, try updating to the full Bb10 beta, an than downgrade.Developer of; Crackberry Forums Reader app -> Crackberry Forum App (NON-ANDROID)

Or, try using the android Camera app which is part or the PB's android runtime. You can access it by installing "Quick App Manager" from app world, then by clicking on Camera from Quick's homescreen, and then open. It can do essentially everything the native app can do, and a few things that the native app can't.
Try the basic approach i.e. through BlackBerry Desktop Software... I just tried the Beta BB10 for PlayBook and able to return to official OS afterwards using the desktop software...
I'm curious - was there a thread that suggested that the bb10 camera worked and what did if offer (that time lapse stuff?)?
