SCIE press release
SCIE's care leavers' project launched
24 October 2013
Young care leavers have been interviewing their older counterparts to find out what common issues are still important to all care leavers. The project, run by the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) and partners, will see many hours of film being stored in the British Library for generations to come. Lessons can be learnt for future good practice. The films also show how people have gone on to have successful careers and interesting lives.
The project is launched today in Westminster; the Children and Families Minister Edward Timpson MP will be making a speech supporting the initiative. The event is also a chance for Barnardo's to report back on the success of the Care Leavers' Charter. The Charter's pledges to care leavers are: "To respect and honour your identity; to believe in you; to listen to you; to inform you; to support you; to find you a home; to be a lifelong champion". Each pledge is accompanied by further detail on how local authorities will fulfil them.
Interviewers for the care leavers' project were given full training by SCIE and the British Library. Ethical issues were addressed, including robust procedures on consent forms. There are full life stories being stored and there are also three short films, which summarise the interviews.
SCIE's Chair Lord Michael Bichard says:
"During their journeys through the system, care leavers accumulate records mostly written by other people. This project has given care leavers the chance to tell their own story in their own words, unedited and not structured by anyone else. What's more, the person they tell their story to has an instinctive understanding of what they are being told as they too have been in care. I urge anyone who works with looked after children or care leavers to view these life stories. They are a unique and profoundly moving learning experience".
Camelia Borg, one of the interviewers, who herself has been in care, says:
"This project has been so important because it's a great way of gaining views and experiences from so many different care-experienced people. Importantly for me, we, the interviewers were very heavily involved with the editing of the films and the documentaries; it's important to have had our input not just as care leavers, but also as interviewers who understand and emphasise with the people we were interviewing".
Rob Perks, who is Lead Curator of Oral History at the British Library, says:
"We've been keen, over recent years, to hold people's voices who haven't been heard in the archive, so when SCIE approached us and said they were applying to the Heritage Lottery Fund, we were keen to be involved; as the holder of the archive; and with training. There is a rich depth to the interviews. And once an interview's on the British Library catalogue, anyone can word-search the content and go immediately to that part of the interview they're interested in."
About the project
See the films here
The project trained a group of young care leavers in oral history interviewing and how to work with video. Then, with the help of a small film crew, they recorded the stories. Each interviewee was supported to tell their own story in their own words. The oldest person interviewed was in her 90s and grew up in a workhouse; the youngest was 21 and described a range of placements in care homes and foster care. The life stories are especially honest and compelling because of the mutual trust and understanding that was quickly established between the interviewee and the interviewer.

A Tale of Two Hearts
Middle-schooler, Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting raise money for seals
by Michael Sharp
In the months before her bat mitzvah, 12-year-old Gabie Nealon-Shapiro went online to watch an HSUS video about Canada's annual seal hunt. "The plight of the seals really touched my heart," she'd say later, "and I knew I had to do something about it."
Around that same time last spring, actress Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting was at work, browsing her Twitter feed, when she came across photos from the hunt, in which baby seals are clubbed or shot to death for their fur.
"I openly admit I had no idea this was even going on," she'd recount later. "I felt so strongly about it, so quickly. … I felt like, at that moment, this was my cause right now. I had to say something; I had to stand up for this."
And so they did—the middle-schooler in Manhattan and The Big Bang Theory star in Southern California. The images sparked both to take action for seals through the HSUS myHumane fundraising platform. Participants can gather donations for HSUS campaigns by hosting birthday or costume parties, running marathons or organizing other fun, nontraditional events.
That summer, at her bat mitzvah, Gabie raised almost $1,600 for the HSUS Protect Seals Campaign, which documents the hunt and works to shut down markets for seal fur.
"I chose seals because the idea that they are being beaten up and killed just for their fur didn't make me happy," she says. "It isn't right to kill animals. In all religions, it's a sin to kill others. Even if this may apply to people mostly, I think that it applies to any living thing. You would still be taking away a life."
Two days later, Cuoco-Sweeting led a charity spinning event—Wheels for Seals—at SoulCycle in Beverly Hills. She promoted her myHumane page via social media as well, ultimately raising almost $2,500.
"I found this deep passion inside of me for these seals that are doing absolutely nothing wrong," she said in the weeks leading up to her event. "People are killing them for their fur, and I think it's disgusting. And it's kind of what I'm living and breathing right now. It has to end."

Grunfeld: "The Pollins are running this team"
As the Wizards continue to disassemble their roster while the franchise is in the process of being sold, some fans have vocally wondered who is calling the shots, and how the various personnel moves will affect the team's eventual price tag. These are complicated questions whose answers will one day emerge via anonymous quotes in stories written by better reporters than I. In the meantime, Ernie Grunfeld was asked publicly on Tuesday whether either the Pollin family or the Leonsis group had input into last week's blockbuster trade.
"Well, obviously the Pollins are running this team and I report to them directly," he said, via Truth About It. "But I think this is the direction that we need to go in at this time. You know, this group was together for a long time. Last year and this year were not up to par, as far as expectations from our standpoint, so it's time to make some changes. And this was the first step in trying to do that."
I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd be fascinated to hear Grunfeld's personnel-related conversations with the Pollin family. I'm equally sure Grunfeld will never be discussing those in front of cameras. If you've been reading the Wizards Insider over the past few weeks, you know that Grunfeld isn't in the habit of talking much about specific players, specific flaws, specific missteps or specific solutions. Still, he is the GM, so you can check out some of his thoughts above, via CSN Washington.
The best part, I suppose, came when WRC's Dan Hellie asked Grunfeld if it was tough for him personally to see the end of the Big Three, since he had wanted to win with that trio.
"Well, we have won with them," Grunfeld replied. "But everything has an end, and everything takes its course. The players tell us what to do by their performance and how well they play together and how much the team wins. It's really all about the wins and losses.
"We had a real nice run here for four years of making the playoffs. Last year, we had the injuries to Gilbert and Brendan, there's not much anybody can do about it. And this year was one of those years where we had high expectations. We made some trades in the offseason that we felt were gonna help us with Randy Foye and Mike Miller, and I think most people picked us to be one of the top four or five teams in the East and win between 45 and 50 games.
"And that just didn't happen for a variety of reasons. Obviously we had injuries early on to Antawn, Mike Miller, Randy Foye, and then the situation in the locker room didn't help us either, and now we don't have our best player for the remainder of the year. So a lot of things just happened that really were out of our hands, out of our control. But the bottom line is this: It's the NBA and you want to win and put the best possible team out there, and I just don't think this group was meshing very well. I thought we played selfish basketball, and we didn't win as much as we'd like to win."

"Well, we have won with them," Grunfeld replied.
That sums it up in a nutshell for me. Ernie is delusional.
I've said it in the beginning and I will say it in any Wizards conversation/argument that I ever have over this subject. Quote, "The Wizards never, emphasis now, NEVER had a Big 3" end quote.
Delusional were the Wizards. For all the hype that spewed out of their mouths, they had maybe 2 1/2 good years. Sold you as much hype as the Redskins.

big tee, don't think ernie is delusional, we actually had a playoff team there for a couple of years...I think it was the first year we played cleveland in the playoffs when the refs stole that series from us by allowing leTravel to win the game at DC by what else...a travel. We were close to the conference finals that year...and straight downhill from there...

plus ernie was answering a direct question about why he failed with the big 3 he brought in...which can't be easy to do in front of all of the mics and cameras...ernies gm moves were actually a lot better than anyone else we had in 25 years... thought bringing in miller/foye was a nice move until miller got hurt and then...bam! Yes our big three had flaws but when they were clicking pre-Arenas injury it wasn't a bad trio.

Wizards havent won squat. When you strive for excellence, a couple of hiccups and you are just good. When you strive to be good, a couple of hiccups and you suck. Fact of the matter is that the Wizards were so excited to be just in the playoffs after all those years of futility that they strived to be good, rather than excellent.

Its simple...we gave up caron and his remaining contract for Howard who has just this year plus a team option.
Haywood whether you liked him or not (too much of an offensive liability for my taste) has 30 games to go and then he will be a free agent where somebody will over pay him...so he was gone...
and just getting anyone to take stevenson was a miracle. So basically they are taking an option on howard to get rid of salary and create room to bid on free agents over the next couple of years...

that headline should read: "The Pollins and Grunfeld are running this team INTO THE GROUND". Caron and Brenden for nothing in return -- what a sucker move. Every commentary I've read, except for Wilbon (but who cares what he thinks - just make sure you do the opposite of what his opinion is), have said the Mavericks robbed us. Nice going, Ernie -- please turn in your resignation because you've completely sacked your own squad.

"Wizards havent won squat. When you strive for excellence, a couple of hiccups and you are just good. When you strive to be good, a couple of hiccups and you suck."
Well said. This team has never come close to contending for anything under Grunfeld, even in its heyday. Grunfeld never realized that you need D, athleticism, speed, size, work ethic, mental toughness & muscle to win games in the playoffs. The Wiz were ok during the season when no one plays D, their jumpshots uncontested. But teams buckle down in the playoffs, and when you rely purely on finesse and the perimeter game, all of a sudden there is a hand in your face and your shooting percentage drops. Meanwhile, defensive lapses are magnified because the other team is playing full speed. Grunfeld seemed content with that, because the team was 'OK' to 'good' during the season. He never brought in imposing athletes, and the one he did, Arenas, he resigned to a franchise-sinking deal despite many surgeries. He was spellbound by jumpshooters with no other game (Pecherov, Young, James) and spent huge on players with questionable talent and interest elsewhere (Deshawn, Thomas and Arenas post-surgery), forcing him later to dump their contracts in bad trades and trade away a pick we could have used to get Blair to save cash. He also had faith in one-dimensional skinny big men (Blatche, Pech, Mcgee) instead of the solid, scary, defensive-minded, versatile, mentally tough guys you need in the playoffs. He brought in no starting-caliber pure point guard in all his years here, while making not a single draft pick that has netted us a solid starter, let alone an all-star. The current lousy team is the product of a GM who does not neither understands nor strives for greatness.

Grunfeld is a joke and it is no wonder this team sucks. He fired EJ last year when the team was losing(because of injuries, I might add) and replaced him with a nonNBA coach. They tanked the season in hopes of getting a first pick in the draft and ended up with a 5th or 6th pick. So we the fans suffered through the entires season and became a laughingstock. Now he has practically given away any players worth something and got nothing in return. How do we know that Haywood was going to try to break the bank next season? He didn't get anything for him so he might as well kept him. And lets not forget those knuckleheads on the bench that can't compete night in and night out.(blatche,young,magee,mcquire) Doesn't appear anybody else wants them and Grunfeld was the one who picked them. They will lose tonight and the rest of the season just like last year. I am not negative and loved this team but, I am tired of going to games to watch them lose and will not purchase season tickets next year. Now we have Gilbert and his mess still hanging around our necks. Tell me, everyone keeps saying that we can get under the salary cap and get a couple of marquee free agents, but who in their right mind would want to come here??? Drew Gooden would rather be bought out and not play the rest of the season then to suit up here and the other three really don't want to be here either.
What a royal mess this team has become. It will be a while digging out from under this crap.

Ernie, just call it a salary dump...you know it and we obviously all know it.
To be honest though...winning a third of the games, you could make the case that things could improve a bit from here on out. Stranger things have happened.

Just for fun...my prediction for tonight's starting lineup is...
Jamison (unless traded in the next few hours) Miller, Blatche, Foye and Young

Look...the wiz suck and there is nothing that's going to change that in the short term...that said, haywood was a)overated,
b) would have cost too much to re-sign (forget breaking the bank) and c) and most importantly and this is the part that goes against your argument...if someone were really that stupic, they still have the option of re-signing him at the end of the year...he is a free agent at the end of the season no matter what

I wonder how many folks ripping EG today were ripping him when he acquired Caron or Gilbert. I would've liked to have gotten a real PG from the start, given Flip's offense, but other than that I thought it'd work. How many folks criticizing him now thought this team would be this bad before the season started? I'm betting about zero.
Everyone on the planet thought this team would be good this season. The fact that Caron didn't adjust, Gilbert never grew up and everybody else got hurt, that's just a heap of lousy luck, not bad managing. Grow up, fellas. Sometimes all the cards just suck, but don't blame the dealer. EG did his job. He brought the talent, they just didn't perform.

That hasn't been my experience at all. Look at ESPN (John Hollinger). He sees it kind of like we robbed them. This was step 1 in a multi-step process. We should wait to see who we sign with the money we save next year before judging it.

EG wasn't a fool prior & he isn't a fool now.
We all thought this team was a playoff team this year going in.
Somehow the chemistry didn't work.
I mean I luv Caron but what the heck happen this year?
The team plays improved defense this year but their natural inclination to run & gun was hindered.
But it has been this way since the FatLady Sang.
Just need to get Ted in there & watch EG do his stuff.
Any1 can say I told you so.
But what did you say after they got rid of MJ & moved into this era?!

I live exactly 10 miles west of KELM and am very interested in hosting a feed there. Unfortunately, I have no idea what kind of reception I will get. I live literally right next to the 7N1 (Corning Painted-Post) airport. Do you have any idea if this would allow me to recieve ATC comms at all? I know I can probably pick up the pilots, but I really only want to buy the scanner if I can pick up ATC as well.
Also, they have a scanner at the FBO, so I might pop in one day and see if I can hear anything on 119.45.
Peter above you said "Four of the TRSA/class D airports remain (Binghamton, Utica, Elmira, and Stewart) to have all public towered airports in NY fed here." Utica (KUCA) is no more. Oneida county airport has moved to Griffiss Airfield (KRME) in Rome. I mention this only because we would probably be better served by someone close to Rome rather than Oriskany or Utica.
Just now saw the LiveATC home page announcing the Rochester, NY, feed and I just wanted to express my excitement and big thanks to the KROC feeder, whomever you are. This now means that we have all upstate NY state class C airports covered.
The only difficulty so far is aircraft on the ground. Not sure that I'll be able to do anything about that as I'm about 100 feet below the airport.
KRME is probably a little more busy than KUCA was in its last years. All of the check runners still have to come in every day and night. Also with Empire Aero Center (EAC) http://www.empireacmro.com/ located in the big hangars one can see some big-iron landing and departing. As of last week when I was there I counted (7) 747's and (3-4) Virgin America Airbus A320's all being worked on. In addition, jetBlue has contracted EAC for maintenance of their fleet as well.

What Happened To the Farm Bill?
After the Super Committee's failed process last fall, Congress faces a new critical deadline: they must take action on the current farm bill before its expiration on September 30, 2012 or risk reverting to the 1949 farm law - the fallback law for the farm bill.
This means Congress must do one of the following things: pass a stand-alone farm bill, attach a farm bill proposal to another bill, or pass a short or long-term extension of the current law. Obviously, "significant political, budget, and committee factors will influence that choice as well as the timing of the farm bill process this year," according to an excellent discussion article posted by the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition.

PARIS (AP) — French president Emmanuel Macron is holding a series of meetings with European leaders in Paris, as Brexit negotiations are due to start next week.
Macron successively meets Friday with Dutch Prime minister Mark Rutte, Estonian Prime minister Juri Ratas and has a working lunch with Spanish head of government Mariano Rajoy.
The French presidency's office says Macron will detail his agenda for Europe. Defense and security issues, migration and climate change are among France's priorities for an EU summit scheduled next week.
Newly elected Macron campaigned on a strong pro-European stance.
He notably proposed the idea of a shared budget for the countries that use the euro currency to allow for joint investments, provide emergency financial help, and help the eurozone better react to a financial crisis.

New: Peer Writing Coaches
How Can We Help? Being able to write well requires being able to stand back from what you have written and experience it freshly from the outside. Put another way, writing well requires being able to hear your writing as it actually sounds…not just as you intended it to sound. That's where we come in. Our job is to be that listening ear and then to tell you what we hear. This will help you discover how a reader understands what you have written. Once you know how a reader understands what you have written you will know what you need to revise to get your ideas across clearly.
Who Are We? We are a group of senior psychology undergraduate students taking a third year course in Professionalism and Communication in Psychology.

Well, the one, lone hope of making Sunday's Academy Awards interesting is dashed: The powers that be are planning to disinvite Sacha Baron Cohen, despite the fact he's an Academy member and stars in "Hugo," which is nominated for 11 awards, including Best Picture.
The reasoning? According to the Hollywood Reporter, they're worried he'll come dressed up in full costume as his title character in his new film, "The Dictator." The Academy is trying to smooth things over, saying they aren't banning him, per se; rather, they just want him to come as Sacha, not as his character, General Aladeen, and cause shenanigans.
"We would love to have Sacha Baron Cohen at the Oscars show," a rep for the awards show told CNN. "We have expressed [to Baron Cohen] that we don't like our red carpet to be used as a promotional stunt. We're waiting to hear from him. We've put the ball in his court."
Ha. Don't use the red carpet as a promotional stunt? That's all the red carpet is! From "My gown is by blah blah blah" to "My next film is" to "It's an honor just to be nominated." Come on, Academy. You're letting Billy Crystal pretend he's a host for Sunday's telecast; why not let Baron Cohen pretend he's a dictator?
'The Voice' is now more popular than 'American Idol'
Christina Aguilera is laughing all the way to the bakery.
Despite everyone talking about her weight, it's not keeping the world from tuning in to watch her and her rag-tag team of co-judges Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green on "The Voice." So much so, it's overtaking stalwart "American Idol," which only had 15.9 million viewers on Wednesday night, whereas "The Voice" had 16 million people tune in.
"Idol,"?take note: There is something to be said for being happy and well fed instead of so well manicured.

The days go by soooo freaking fast.. Yesterday kinda sucked.. Was at a meeting the whole day.. Some of the stuff was quite interesting, but since the whole idea of the thing was, that it was supposed to be a seminar type meting, it kinda failed. It was just one-way talk from the association rep.. But yeah, that is life.. At least I got to see a bunch of friends again..
Today is, so far, turning out to be a great day.. Just spend my morning with my beloved coffee and making a small photoshop project for a national athlete. Feels nice to help your buddies. The rest of the day looks like it is gonna be less fun and more educational.. Since I still have loads to study for the coming exam.. But yeah, that is just life! At least we have an awesome night planned with the study group.. Boardgames.. Those old-fashioned things are just awesome!
Don't have more to tell right now, so I'm gonna close my internet connection for a few hours to read in a firetrucking book..

Five years ago this weekend, New Orleans nearly drowned. It didn't look that way at first -- the eye of Hurricane Katrina hit to the east, but the levee breaks that followed took out entire neighborhoods.
The water didn't kill New Orleans. But the private solution approach to public problems almost did. People for whom no rising economic tides had ever lifted their boat, were left to fend for themselves. We saw them on roofs and streets, for days.
The city has been struggling back. There's been some progress -- organizing saved a public housing project recently -- and we've talked on GRITtv about the charges just now being brought against police and vigilantes for race-based killings under cover of the storm.
But along with the rest of the Gulf Coast, people, hit hard by Katrina and all that followed, are facing another challenge. After the hurricane came the drift away of public attention and dollars. After the BP disaster, the same is happening. In recent news, companies that were asked to make containment-booms say BP suddenly stopped accepting deliveries weeks ago, leaving them in debt, with millions of dollars in unused product, and workers and vendors they can't pay.
We're in another hurricane season and some worry big storms could drench the coast in oil as well as water this time. But the lessons not learnt are as deadly the storm winds.
The people flooding back to New Orleans, five years on, not all of them rich, say they miss the place. It's something about the people. All of them. While profit-makers go where profits are, people say it's community they crave. As the distance continues to grow between the haves and don't haves in US society, and the trouble-waters keep on rising, it's worth looking around any community you care about. Will there be boats for all next time?

Specialty Rigging is a skill developed by experience. Every company needs to start somewhere, but why trust your equipment to be rigged by an inexperienced crew, when you can have Pro-Tech's 50 years of experience?
Rigging is an almost unique set up for every single project. That is why we first train our team to know the baseline of safe rigging. We then catalogue our rigging experiences in project debriefs and tool box meetings, so each of our team members can take the value of specialized rigging, or aspects of the rigging, onto the next project. Multiply this experience and process over thousands of hours of jobs, and the resulting expertise is what you get when you hire Pro-Tech.
We provide the necessary and certified rigging to hoist and move your equipment into place as safely as possible.
Call us today to discuss your next project and leave the specialty rigging to the best in the business.

There are many people who aren't keen to buy a Kindle or similar e-book reader simply because they already have a similar multi-purpose device like a tablet or smartphone. You might be one of these people – and I agree that this attitude completely makes sense. Why carry around a Kindle when your phone can do a great job of letting you read eBooks?
There are several great eBook applications for Android, but today we'll take a closer look at the Kindle's nearest counterpart: The Kindle App for Android.
Reading Material On Kindle App For Android
The Kindle application for Android is not just for books. You can also read magazines and newspapers via this app, which means it can easily become the go-to app for your reading entertainment on your Android device. Before purchasing a book, it's possible to read the first chapter for free as a sample to see if you're going to like it.
As well as purchasing books, magazines and newspapers, there is a lot of free content available through the Kindle store. Mostly this consists of public domain works, such as classics which were released a long time ago and are now out of copyright. If you're purchasing books, it's easy to browse popular lists, such as the New York Times Bestsellers list.
It's also possible to borrow books from your local library Where Can I Borrow eBooks From? Where Can I Borrow eBooks From? If you have an e-reader, you will know how convenient eBooks are. I have a Kindle and I love it. It makes reading anywhere a breeze and I read a lot more too. However, the... Read More or friends How To Loan Your Kindle E-Books To Other Amazon Members How To Loan Your Kindle E-Books To Other Amazon Members Read More and read them in your Kindle app. This is a great way to read books without spending a fortune!
Useful Tools Within The Kindle App
The Android Kindle app allows you to set the screen brightness, preferred screen orientation (landscape or portrait), font size and background colour. With these options you can set your reading environment to be just right for you.
With the Kindle app, it's possible to use the built-in dictionary to look up words as you're reading. You can also use Google or Wikipedia to research a topic further. All you need to do is tap and hold a word to see the options available to you.
If you have a Kindle or use the Kindle app for another device, such as your PC, you'll love the fact that Kindle app syncs your reading across devices. This means you can read books on your phone while you commute, then you can sit back at your PC and continue reading where you left off. The app will sync bookmarks, furthest point read, highlights and notes. There are Kindle apps available for Android, PC, Mac, iOS devices, Windows Phone 7 and Blackberry. Of course, you can also sync with Kindles themselves.
More eBook Reading Options
There are quite a few other notable eBook reading apps for Android, such as Aldiko Book Reader, Kobo and Google Play Books. They all have strengths and weaknesses, the most important of which I'd say involve whether the app offers a choice of eBook formats and the user is able to manually add books to the device and app, rather than going through a store. One downside to the Kindle App for Android that's worth mentioning is that it is a very large app (the size varies on devices, but is roughly 14 MB). Despite all this, there are some great features in the Kindle app for Android and it's worth giving it a go.
Do you have a dedicated eBook reader device or do you read books using apps on your smartphone or tablet? If you use an app, which one do you use?

I've used Kindle app on my android phone for years and have had no issues. It is easy to use and very versatile and a breeze to read. The only complaint is the small screen size of my phone, so I thought I would try a Kindle Paperwhite. Guess what? I freakin' hate it. It's clunky and slow and not at all what I expected. There is no smooth scrolling between pages, just an ugly, pixelated dissolve that transitions between pages. The user interface is also a piece of crap compared to my android. Besides the larger screen, I don't get the appeal.
I have found many books that I've bought on Amazon for the Kindle App do not allow me to bookmark a page. I use to have a real Kindle and never had this problem. Are there different formats for creating an eBook that may be preventing full functionality?
Also, I have found that the App doesn't allow me to maneuver to say the Table of Contents and then back to where I was last reading?
Has anyone else had such problems?
Kindle app is really awesome .. i just downloaded it.
I have tried the kindle app for my HTC One X , and whilst I found it good, I have settled on Aldiko reader. It's free, and has excellent access to free and paid books via its store. I also love the customisation options, such as day/night modes, font size and margin adjustments.
I have a Cruz T301 Android tablet, and use Moon+ Reader Free to read my (DRM-free) ePub files. Supports a custom fonts folder, has lots of customizability; the only thing I'd add is the ability to do smart hyphenation & justified paragraphs at the same time.
installed and using Kindle on Android tablet...its great
I asked my mum this, and it's quite a simple reason; the screen. My mums kindle has a screen that can easily be read outside in the sun, tablets and laptops have reflective screens which appear dark in such conditions.
Still wouldn't get one myself, but there is a market for them.
is it available for blackberry???
i suggest it's time to upgrade :D
I use the Kindle, Aldiko, and Google Play Books so I know I always have something to read the different types of ebook files. To me, I'd rather get a Nexus and put the Kindle App and Amazon App Store on it than buy a Kindle Fire HD.
i've often wondered this very thing!
the kindle has only recently become available in nz, and nz customers are limited to nz/uk books & prices, whereas w/my kindle app, i can browse the entire usa shop & pay usa prices. i'm a "real" book advocate, but the kindle app allows this ex-pat to get in a lot more reading than i've been financially allowed since moving here.
usa folks may be interested in knowing that a *paperback* book in nz costs appx $27. we rarely get hardbacks; new books come oversized-paperback style, and cost around $40. i don't recall the kindle costs for books, except that it was substantially more than than usa prices. do i use my kindle app? you betcha! i sync it across 3 android devices (mobile, tablet, laptop).
i'll also point out that the other big player in internet bookselling, B&Ns nook app, doesn't allow non-usa-residing customers to purchase books when outside the usa. yes, that *does* mean you have to be physically *in* the united states to purchase anything. once purchased, you can read anywhere (uh huh). B&N, just so you know, that's why my buying with you has dropped substantially in the last year.
I already installed it.
interesting, loading it onto my rooted nook running cy7
Have a Kindle but don't use it, It has an area of damage in the top left corner of the screen so it is no longer possible to use as I prefer. Currently use kindle app on a net-book but I don't like that either, I prefer a portrait format so I will be using on a tablet soon.
The Kindle app for iOS is my favorite app for my iPod. I've bought quite a few public domain books. I've also used it quite often to save web articles for later. You're better off getting an android device and using the Kindle app than buy a Kindle. You'll have more freedom to do non-reading stuff, like playing games.
Really? You are comparing this to Kindle? It's not about the software. It's not about the interface. This is about the whole device. Any tablet, any computer, any other device with a regular screen is not an e-paper. And there is no device that could be used whole month without recharging ;)
The other thing about the Kindle is that it can read any Kindle book to you without having to buy the audio version of the book. This is not available, as far as I can tell, in the Kindle app for Android.
so true...saved a lot just now...
I have questions:
-What is the best screen size for book reading? I'm about to buy a 4 inch Android smartphone. Do I still need to buy a Kobo Mini (5 inches)
-The other issue is the battery life. I'm the kind of guy that spends the whole day reading emails and using applications, so would a smartphone be able to support my activities all day long + book reading at night.
Put simply, no Joel. If you want to read a lot from your device, $69 for a Kindle is the best deal going. I read several hours a day off my Kindle and I have to plug it in for an hour or two once a week. e-ink beats all for reading from a device.

Reprinted from the Sioux City Journal.
Anglers heading for North Dakota's Devils Lake will find conditions to be a little bit different this year.
A very mild winter with very little snow has combined to result in very little runoff into the lake.
And that, says professional fisherman Johnnie Candle, who lives and guides on the big lake, will change fishing patterns. "We're not going to have that big influx of water that causes fish to move into current areas," he said. "Instead, you are going to have to look for areas of warmer water, which isn't hard to do. Those shallow, dark bottom bays with early weed growth are going to be the key."
Candle was in Sioux City for the Scheels Fish Fest activities at the Southern Hills Mall. He's been on the walleye tournament trail since 1994 and has been guiding about 90 trips a year (in between tournaments) for the past 15 years. [Read more…]

Industrial real estate firm Prologis, Inc. (NYSE: PLD) has signed two leases totaling 410,200 square feet (38,100-square-meters) in Prologis Park Kawajima, a multi-story speculative development near Tokyo.
This new 1.55-million-square-foot (144,000-square-meter) facility, which integrates seismic resistance technology, is now 70 percent leased at completion. This adds to Prologis's lease in Brazil for 309,400 square feet (27,750 square meters) with a leading Brazilian retailer.
The first lease consists of 327,200 square feet (30,400 square meters) with one of Prologis' largest global customers. The second lease includes an 83,000-square-foot (7,710-square-meter) expansion for Hitachi Collabonext Transport System Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Hitachi Transport System, Ltd., a third-party logistics provider.
"Seeing significant demand for the remaining space in this facility makes us optimistic about the industrial real estate market in Japan," said Mike Yamada, Prologis' president for Japan.
"Our customers continue to require modern facilities, built to higher seismic standards. Prologis anticipated this need, and we have been able to immediately fulfill our customers' requirements within our development portfolio."
On the other hand, Prologis CCP Cajamar Industrial Park is expected to total approximately 2 million square feet (185,000 square meters) at full build-out. The project, a joint venture with Cyrela Commercial Properties (CCP), is located in the Cajamar submarket of Sao Paulo, with access to the Rodoanel Ring Road and central Sao Paulo. Other Prologis customers in Cajamar include Schneider and Penske.
"We are pleased to welcome this new customer to our portfolio in Brazil," said Luis Gutierrez, Prologis' president for Latin America.
"This lease marks more than 935,000 square feet of pre-leasing at our Cajamar Industrial Park, making this development now fully pre-leased. Customer demand for new Class-A product is at an all-time high, and we are developing logistics facilities to meet this demand while monetizing our land bank."

Economic Impact and Return on Investment of UTC
UTC contributes more than $285 million a year to the local economy, provides 4,337 jobs, and receives only 6.7% of Tennessee's total higher education appropriations, with 59% of University funding coming from other sources.
These findings were recently released in "The Economic Impact and Return on Investment of UTC: What Tennessee Taxpayers Get for Their Money 2005-2006," written by Dr. J.R. Clark, Scott L. Probasco, Jr., Chair of Free Enterprise.
"Both students and tax payers might be surprised to learn exactly how their respective investments of time and money pay off in the future," Clark said in the study.
As a result of the education received at UTC, the average male member of the Fall 2003 entering class who completes his undergraduate training at UTC can be expected to earn approximately $1.47 million more over his lifetime than his counterpart with only a high school diploma. A male graduate student will earn an additional $1.41 million more than their college undergraduate counterpart during the earning years. The average female who completes her undergraduate training will earn $1.14 million more than her counterpart with a high school education. Females who go on to earn a graduate degree will earn $723,000 more than her undergraduate counterpart.
The vast majority of these students, 88 percent of undergraduates and 83 percent of graduate students, will remain in Tennessee after leaving UTC. That means the incremental future earning and spending, attributable to an education at UTC, will contribute significantly to the future economic development of the state and the tax revenues the state collects.
For every $1 spent by the state on the Fall 2003 entering UTC class, the state will receive $1.45 back in taxes, on a present discounted value basis. This translates to a 5.14 percent rate of return on the state's investment in the university.
In 2003, UTC brought into the state nearly $37 million from external sources, such as grants, foundation spending and tuition from out of state students. The sales tax revenue generated by this income flow amounts to approximately $2.2 million annually.
"In summary, the three major economic contributions UTC makes to Tennessee, an educated labor force for the private and public sector, a large increment in state tax revenues from the additional earnings of UTC in-state resident alumni, and the boost to the state income and revenue from UTC as an "export base," all suggest that the engaged metropolitan University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is an extraordinary investment for the state," said Clark.

U.S. farmers and consumers who are trying to figure out what the future holds aren't getting much help from Washington these days. As a result, they may need to pick out some economic indicators that could help them chart their course.
Ernie Goss, professor of economics at Creighton University in Lincoln, Neb., identified some of those indicators while giving members of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers his take on the current economic outlook at the ASFMRA's 80th annual meeting in Denver.
"We're all sitting on the sidelines, trying to figure out what's happening," said Goss, a graduate of the University of Tennessee who has held a number of public and private economic positions over the years. "I've never seen this much uncertainty over government policy and the national economy."
While that might be a good scenario for economists and lawyers, it gives little comfort to farmers and other small business owners and consumers, said Goss. The uncertainty over the so-called cap and trade legislation, health care reform and tax increases are causing nightmares for much of America.
"I also have a small consulting business, and I'm sitting here thinking, 'Should I hire now, should I hire later; should I buy a car now, should I buy a car later; should I buy a house now, should I buy a house later?" he said.
"We have millions of people sitting on the sidelines, and the chief, No. 1 economic problem we're facing now is the lack of clarity. We don't know the answers to those kinds of questions."
Goss said the Commerce Department report issued when he spoke Thursday was "a very good sign." The government reported that the nation's gross domestic product grew by 3.5 percent in the third quarter of 2009.
"We don't know how much of that is cash for clunkers or the tax credit for first-time home buyers," he said. "We're also likely to see continued high unemployment numbers until companies begin to do more hiring."
Goss, one of 200 economists who took out a full page ad saying "We are not all Keynesians," that appeared in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal earlier this year, said he believes the government's fiscal policies have not helped the economy all that much.

The same quality that you would expect with any Ray-Ban items but with a slightly different look than the classic aviators. I like the look and will use these for years.
Who doesn't love Ray Bans
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Sweet glasses for that classic cool look. Hold up pretty well as I've shoved these in my pockets more times than I can count with minimal scratches.

Wish I had a motorcycle
A true classic...they never get old. Note this design is a good alternative if you aren't a fan of the more traditional cut and like lens shapes similar to an oakley frogskins
Sweet and classic
Oh yeah. These are the bomb. Perfect size, not very on the small size but not jumbo like other aviator faddy ones can be. These are as close to classic as you can get. Not the original teardrop but damn close. Put them on, and I feel like flying a Huey!

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 59:30 — 81.8MB)
several great new (well, recent anyway – framework has been suffering from an excess of waiting material for a long, long time now) releases this week, and an exciting opportunity for listener participation! if you missed the chance, fear not, we'll be repeating it in our next regular edition in 2 weeks time, or you can download or stream this edition from the website. so you have no excuse! i'll explain more in a moment…
we listened to several tracks from a 3cd compilation called 'nekton falls', which features many names framework listeners will recognise, and many that they won't. too much on here to squeeze everything we wanted into one show, so we'll be coming back to hear a few more selections next time. meanwhile, we heard two long excerpts from matt shoemaker's excellent release on the helen scarsdale agency, 'spots in the sun'. this is really a wonderful disc – gritty, hunched over, dense textures and layers, just how we like it! we also heard several tracks from another new name (for us), and a surprising name at that: herpes o deluxe provided us with some well constructed crunch. all this along with a blending of two uk street scenes – we took rob grant's recording of london's green lanes and intertwined it with nick sellen's portrait of reading – can you tell which is which?
some background on our listener participation segment: sometime last year i received an unsolicited heavy-pressed single-sided 7″ vinyl record in the post. no package, letter, sleeve, nothing – just a record with a stamp and my address on it, and a small sticker in the center with a request. the request was that i play the record back in my home, record it ambiently, and return both record and recording to a specified address. months later, i finally got around to doing this, and in the process thought, what better way to support this project than to broadcast the record on framework and call to arms all it's loyal listeners? so that's what i've done: near the end of this edition (around minute 50, if you're downloading) you will find sebastiane hegarty's piece 'mo (nu) ment', which was recorded from his bedroom window during a 3 minute silence held for the victims of the asian tsunami disaster of 2005. play it back over whatever speakers you have, record it with whatever you have at hand, and, dear listener, send it back to us here at framework. if we get enough we'll broadcast a selection of them, and forward them on to sebastiane for his project. so there you go. to arms!

23w3d- For 22 weeks, I didn't think I was going to be able to say this, but here goes: I love being pregnant. And I should apologize now for the gushy blog entry below. I just can't help myself today.
I certainly don't want to jinx it, but something changed in my body last week. All of the sudden, I feel good. I feel like myself. I have energy, my skin doesn't feel like it's going to fall off and my sweet baby is moving around like crazy. (I've felt her kick since week 17, but now I constantly feel her move.) It's the greatest feeling in the world, and I love sharing it with friends and family. I didn't think I'd like people touching my stomach, but I love it! A friend snapped this photo of my husband's Grandma getting to feel the baby kick for the first time. I'm so thankful to have this memory in a photo.
Another plus — Non-family members are finally starting to notice that I'm pregnant. My baby bump is finally obvious enough to where I'm not getting as many Is she pregnant or just letting herself go? awkward stares. I love having a belly! (It also had countless Home Depot employees tripping over themselves to help me. I've never had better customer service.)
But the best part of being pregnant? Sharing such a special time with my family. The reaction from my family has been one of the biggest blessings of my pregnancy. I knew they'd be excited, loving and supportive. But it's been way more than that. It's sparked conversations that I've never had, prompted visits that wouldn't have happened and just generally brought all of us closer. There's a lyric to a song that really hit me this weekend: "People that I barely knew, They love me because I'm part of you." Well said, Keith Urban. I'm feeling double the love right now. My family loves me and they already love our baby girl. And since I'm constantly holding our baby girl, I get double the love. Not too shabby.
Pregnancy can be very hard. But I hope this blog prompts you to stop and relish in the special moments of your pregnancy. It's a long, 40-week roller coaster, but it really does fly by. Here are a few simple moments from my first 23 weeks that I'll always cherish:
- My husband running into the room as I scream, "She's kicking! She's kicking!" No matter how many times we've felt her kick, it always seems new and exciting. I don't think it could ever get old. Each time, he puts his hand on my stomach and then we stare at each other. The second we feel the kick we start giggling and smiling. "Whoa! That was a big one! She has the strongest legs!"
- My mom randomly saying in the car, "You know, the coolest thing is that I feel like this baby is part of me." What a cool thing to hear. I'll also always remember my mom not letting me lift a finger. She does everything for us, and I couldn't be more thankful.
- My dad talking to my stomach, saying, "This is your grandpa! We'll see you soon! I can't wait to play with you!" He's taken to the grandpa title with ease and grace. I love that he thinks he can get the baby to kick for him if she just hears his voice. He's actually been successful several times.
- My sister constantly telling me how she can't wait to be an aunt and how she's going to spoil the baby rotten. Knowing that she's going to be around to help makes me so happy and relieved.
- My grandma telling my mom that she's going to be an amazing grandma.
- Uncle Rick's kind words and amazing stories about his children growing up. His genuine tone of voice and look when he says, "I just can't wait. You guys are going to be amazing parents," is something I'll always remember. I can't wait to tailgate at Gator games with him and our little girl.
Again, sorry for the gushy entry. There's so much negative associated with pregnancy: morning sickness, scary tests, swollen everything, etc. We have to stop and take some time to realize the miracle happening in our bodies. Because holy cow, there's a little girl growing inside me!
What were your favorite moments of pregnancy? Was there a turning point where you started feeling really good?

One day this December, 42-year-old attorney Meng Lim will pack up his two kids and a freshly pressed black robe.
Sixty miles later, at the state Capitol, Lim will be sworn in as the first Cambodian-American of Chinese extraction ever to sit on a Superior Court bench in Georgia.
The election of a survivor of Cambodian genocide to an open seat in the Tallapoosa Judicial Circuit in west Georgia – a rural, two-county affair where Asian-Americans make up precisely .3 percent of the voting population – is perhaps the most remarkable, yet untold story to come out of last month's runoff contests.
The Haralson County attorney won 62 percent of the vote in his July 22 runoff against Chuck Morris, a juvenile court judge from neighboring Polk County who had the support – financial and otherwise — of most of the area's legal community.
Lim built his campaign largely on personal loans and the enthusiasm of a community that took him in as a 9-year-old boy who spoke no English and had never seen the inside of a classroom.
"I had really good, strong supporters who are passionate about me, and that was great," said Lim, in an interview at his street-level office in slumbering, downtown Tallapoosa.
While Lim isn't the first Asian-American elected to the bench in Georgia, he might be considered the state's first Facebook judge. In a community where local newspapers come out once a week or not at all, Lim made extensive use of the Internet to offer up a remarkable, warts-and-all biography.
"He did a helluva job to get elected – the way he went about it. I look forward to seeing what he does in the position," said Superior Court Judge Richard Sutton of Cedartown, whose pending retirement set off the first contest for an open judicial seat the circuit has seen in more than 30 years. (Departing judges usually do so mid-term, giving the governor a valuable appointment.)
Lim was born in Cambodia shortly before the 1975 takeover by the communist Khmer Rouge. The subsequent holocaust would claim 2 million lives.
His father was a school principal and thus a marked man in a regime that targeted intellectuals for extermination. Lim's father went on the run, while Meng Lim, two older siblings and his mother were kept in separate concentration camps. An older brother who stayed with their father would die in the Cambodian forests of malaria.
There was no school for Lim – just unending work in the rice fields.
Ultimately, an invasion by Vietnam sent the Khmer Rouge packing. The reunited Lim family walked into Thailand and its refugee camps, where a Jewish organization sponsored the family's resettlement in College Park.
But the Lims gravitated toward a local Baptist church whose pastor grew up in Haralson County on the Alabama border. With that connection, Lim's principal-father and teacher-mother, neither of whom spoke a word of English, became custodians at the First Baptist Church of Bremen.
"The very first day I went to school I got into a fight," Meng Lim remembered.
Small towns are a hard place to break into, even when you look like everyone else. But once they take you in, they don't let go.
It was nearly a year before Lim spoke a complete sentence in English. A new Walmart had just opened nearby – and became a tool for building a vocabulary. "My teachers would take me, on their time — either after school or sometimes on a Saturday, and we would go to the store and they would point out different things and ask me to repeat it after them," Lim said.
We often focus on the romance of walking stone-cold into a new country, but it is a soul-wrenching thing. The Lim family shattered under the pressure, and Lim became the foster child of his high school art teacher and his wife. Lim's children, Elizabeth, 9, and Nicholas, 4, are named after them.
Meng Lim was a state wrestling champ and valedictorian of his Bremen High School graduating class. A scholarship sent him to Emory University, where he earned a degree in history and learned that he had developed an unusual Southern-Chinese accent. Another scholarship paved his way through Mercer Law School.
It was here that Lim's journey took a more standard turn. After a year of clerking for local judges, Lim was hired by the law firm of House Speaker Tom Murphy.
"My Dad had an eye on Meng when he clerked. Dad had great expectations — he saw the potential in him. Meng's a fearless worker," said Mike Murphy, son of the late House speaker – and now a superior court judge who will be Lim's partner on the Tallapoosa bench. "Talk about the great American success story."
Mike Murphy's wife, incidentally, was Lim's debate coach in high school. It's a tight community.
Lim now has his own private practice. He is the attorney for the Haralson County Commission, and does family law on the side. He is divorced, which he does not hide – that's not possible in a small town.
On the other hand, in small communities, your fight often becomes that of your neighbors. Two years ago, Lim's brother, 47-year-old Lymeng Lim, was killed in a car wreck. He was one of the few members of the U.S. Navy to have also carried an AK-47 for the Khmer Rouge. As a child-soldier — not by choice.
It took two years – just after the May 20 primary — for police to cite Sabrina Townes, 32, of Lawrenceville, for vehicular homicide. The arrest came only after she was involved in a second fatal accident.
Meng Lim made his crusade for justice part of his campaign for judge. A mailer in the runoff campaign featured a picture of Lim's older brother, and this passage:
"I'm running for Superior Court Judge in the Tallapoosa Circuit because I believe that our community should be strong, [and] our judicial system fair and swift…Serving as your Superior Court Judge isn't going to bring my brother back but it will help carry on his legacy of service, sacrifice, and courage."
Lim's victory party was held at a Mexican restaurant in downtown Tallapoosa. Afterwards, he drove to Atlanta – where his 93-year-old father lives in a Chinese-speaking enclave. (His mother still lives in Haralson County.)
"He immediately gave me as big a bear hug as he could muster. In all my life, I don't recall ever receiving such an embrace from my father," Lim wrote.
On Facebook, of course, for all his neighbors to see.

New & Now
Recipe Page Updates
You may have noticed a few new bells and whistles on the recipe pages. Allow us to explain the method behind our madness and, as always, please let us know what you think!
- Recommendations
- Now when you view a recipe, to the right you'll see a couple of friendly suggestions: "You Might Also Like This Recipe," which showcases a great Finalist or Wildcard recipe from the same category as the one you're viewing (e.g. another winning dessert or another delicious fish and seafood recipe); and "From Our Shop," which is, frankly, pretty random at the moment. Over time, as we gather more stellar recipes and goods, we'll tweak the formulas to make our recommendations even more useful to you. And for all Finalist recipes, you'll also see a link back to the slideshow of A&M testing them out (and dropping things on the floor and other typical food52 hijinks).
- Right Now In Recipes
- You can now see what recipes other users are looking at, in real time. We like to think it gives us all a sense of the greater food52 community and clues us in to what people across the globe are interested in at any given moment. For example, given this week's themes and the weather systems that have been pummeling various parts of the U.S. of late, our money's on lots of people looking into some good movie snacks.
- New Cooks' Rating System
- We've changed our recipe rating system to a very simple, hedonistic "like" indicator. The previous star-based system wasn't really working for us – we hope this index will be more meaningful. So feel free to give props to your fellow food52ers' recipes by clicking on the thumbs up symbol (No plans yet for a Fonzie-style double thumbs up, but we're open to suggestions). And don't worry -- if you ever rated a recipe on the old star system, your input was noted. Any time a recipe was given 3 stars or more, we considered it "liked."
- Wine Suggestions
- Coming soon, food52 wine expert Sasha will be helping us offer pairing suggestions for every recipe!

Loos v. Immersion Corporation: Redefining the Standard in Loss Causation Arguments
The Ninth Circuit recently ruled that a company announcement of an internal investigation is insufficient to establish a loss causation theory in a securities fraud action under section 10(b) of the Exchange Act. Specifically, it stated that an announcement of an investigation is not a corrective disclosure—an event that discloses a company's fraud. This Comment argues courts should apply a rebuttable presumption that broadens the definition of corrective disclosure to include announcements of these investigations. This Comment concludes that, unlike the Ninth Circuit's narrow definition of corrective disclosure, the rebuttable presumption framework would allow investors the opportunity to be fully compensated for their losses in securities fraud actions.

Hi Chris! In OWL 2, you can generally deprecate axioms by annotating them with "owl:deprecated". This is possible, because: 1) As of OWL 2, you can annotate axioms by adding annotation properties to them, as explained in: <http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/REC-owl2-new-features-20091027/#Extended_Annotations> 2) The new universal deprecation marker "owl:deprecated" has been specified as an annotation property, see: <http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/REC-owl2-syntax-20091027/#a_deprecated> Cheers, Michael Am 01.12.2011 19:13, schrieb Chris Mungall: > The OWL2 syntax allows for deprecated classes and properties, although deprecating an entity doesn't change the semantics. > > Is there a standard way to deprecate an axiom? Would there be a negative consequences in using owl:deprecated, or should this be considered reserved? > > I have one project in mind, where we are providing provenance for each axiom - a unique identifiers and a pubmed URI. When we remove an axiom we want to keep it around so we don't reuse the same ID or accidentally add back an equivalent axiom. I expect that in order to silence the axiom we will have to keep the axiom in a separate ontology that is never imported during reasoning. I don't think there is a way to keep the axiom annotation around without the axiom (perhaps in OWL full, but I'm not interested in going that way). Another option would be to translate the axiom to an annotation assertion but this would be a bit hacky. > > Is there any recommended practice here? -- Dipl.-Inform.
