For the second time in two years I got attacked by a Northern Goshawk. I was in a patch of forest walking a trail when I heard the familiar call of a disgruntled Goshawk. I only stuck around for a few minutes to get some quick footage. I didn't want to disturb them for too long. I also didn't want my scalp ripped open by these extremely territorial raptors. Beautiful birds but by far the most aggressive I've ever encountered. Not a very common sight to see one of these beautiful creatures. I literally had it miss my head by about 2 ft. whenever it took a dive at me. My adrenaline was running at full capacity. I was shaking and fearful of the other one showing up and catching me off guard. Same thing happened to me last year. I'll stay away now until the young ones are close to leaving the nest. Very difficult to get good footage when you're being attacked! Edit: I recently went to check on the nest and the fledge was successful. I had one close fly by and that was it. Some calls after that but nothing like when they were nesting. I did hear one of the young call from another location other than the nest. All is good.

Guerlain Sous Le Vent (200) Shine Automatique Lipstick
Guerlain Sous Le Vent (200) Shine Automatique Lipstick
Guerlain Sous Le Vent (200) Shine Automatique Lipstick ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as a "warm caramel." It's a medium rosy brown with a beige shimmer-sheen. It looks rosier on the lips due to the natural pink tones of my lip color, while the beige shimmer translates into more of a general white frost/shimmer. Cle de Peau T9 is creamier, peachier. Dior Coral Crystal is a bit darker. MAC Can't Get Enough is more bronze. NARS Love Devotion is sheerer and more coral. Chanel Ruban Rose is similar but more frosted.
The Shine Automatique Lipstick is incredibly moisturizing, and it has a very sparkling, dazzling finish from the micro-sparkle. It looks luminous, wet-like, and a little glossy without feeling heavy. The texture is rather balm-like, so it glides and slides onto the lip like butter, which feels amazing, but it does contribute to below-average wear. The formula is supposed to be long-wearing, but I only get three and a half hours with Sous Le Vent, and I typically get four hours with the average lipstick [that isn't long-wearing]. It has a perfume-y scent, similar to the Rouge Automatiques, and it is packaged in the same type of packaging.
The color coverage of this shade is mostly opaque–you can barely see my lip freckle–but there is the expected underlying translucency that gives it that luminous finish. One thing I don't like is the way I can feel the shimmer/glitter when I press my lips together, but I will note that Sous Le Vent was the smoothest I've tried so far.
The Glossover
Sous Le Vent
|Now, there are a lot of things to love about this lipstick, and as an avid fan of Guerlain's lip products, I do, generally, like the formula, but I can always feel the sparkle whenever I press my lips together so it doesn't seem quite as refined.

I was intrigued by the article about trying to track down the Higgs boson (28 June, p 13). It says that it is the Higgs field that "pervades the universe and endows matter with mass". Later it says that the Higgs particle is expected to have a mass of between 114 and 211 gigaelectronvolts.
So what gives the Higgs particle its mass? Or does it pervade itself and so is self-fulfilling?

Day ready for another strong test at Congressional
Woods won a year ago in a wild week that featured extreme heat, a bizarre storm that toppled trees across the golf course and kept fans from attending on Saturday, and a late surge to get past Bo Van Pelt for a two-shot win at 8-under 276.
Only five other tournaments had a higher winning score last year, a list that includes the Masters and U.S. Open.
"Congressional can stand on its own two feet," Van Pelt said. "If you'd have played here two weeks ago, you probably could have had a U.S. Open if you wanted to. You know that coming in, and guys either like that and want to come play here, or they take this week off."
Woods is not taking this week off by choice. He hurt his left elbow a month ago, and doctors have advised rest and treatment to allow it to heal before the next two majors. Even so, the world's No. 1 player didn't want to miss out on defending his title on a course that has shown to identify some stout players.
"It's frustrating for me because I want to play, and I know how the golf course is set up right now, too, and I like the setup of it," Woods said. "The years that it's set up this way, I've done well."
It's the kind of test that Day did not want to miss. Asked if he preferred the harder courses, Day's eyes lit up and he said, "Tough, yes."
"Just takes out the riff-raff, I guess," he said.
It was a reference to games, not names. This is not a place where players can get by without their best stuff.
Scott won the now-defunct Booz Allen Classic the one year it was held at Congressional. Since the AT&T National began in 2007, the list of winners is K.J. Choi, Anthony Kim and Woods the last two times.
Scott said Congressional was the primary reason he put the AT&T on his limited schedule. Now he hopes to see something good come out of the week.
"This is the time of the year where I play, and I need to be ready and play myself into form," Scott said. "Especially after the U.S. Open, I feel a result is needed, just some kind of result to keep the confidence high and move over to Europe feeling like I'm ready to compete. I want to contend. It's been since the Masters that I've really been in contention. So getting those feelings would be nice again."

The Dickinson Fascicles
The Dickinson Fascicles are a series of six large-scale embroidered works by Jen Bervin based on composites of the punctuation and variant markings in Emily Dickinson's fascicles. These works are part of the exhibition Material Fix curated by Alison Ferris at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Feb 2015.
Emily Dickinson avoided publication, calling it "the auction of the mind," but wrote thousands of poems in her lifetime. Readers are familiar with her characteristic dashes, but fewer have seen her equally ubiquitous crosses (+ marks) or the variant words to which they correspond because they are rarely reflected in print editions.
The variant words are preceded by the + mark and often appear listed in clusters after the poem but before the horizontal line Dickinson drew to signal the end of a poem. To read the variants, you move backwards through the poem trying to find the point of insertion, the corollary word or phrase (preceded by a +) that the variants refer to in the poem. They are sometimes quite close in meaning to the marked word, but in other instances, they are as far ranging as "+ world, + selves + sun."
Between approximately 1858 and 1864, Dickinson grouped her poems into small hand bound packets, later called fascicles. They are very humble bindings: stab-bound with twisted red and white thread and tied off teeteringly near the folded edge. The stitch held the stacked folded sheets together but made them a harder to open. The poems are composed on stationery typical of the nineteenth century, vertically folded sheets, plain, laid, or ruled paper with a small embossed image in the upper left corner. The packets contain eleven to twenty poems per grouping.
In 1981, Harvard University Press issued a two-volume facsimile edition of Dickinson's handwritten manuscripts, edited by R. W. Franklin. The edition includes forty of Dickinson's fascicles—stab-bound packets (non-nested sheets of folded paper) containing eleven to twenty poems per fascicle. The manuscripts also contain a number of unbound sets; her late fragments and letters have yet to be published in facsimile editions. Dickinson's own publication of her poems is highly specified given that she enclosed poems and lines from poems within letters in correspondence, tuning them subtly for different recipients.
Dickinson's editorial legacy is complicated at best; her fascicles and fragments were dismembered, regrouped, scissored, and marked by her various editors as they changed hands and often her poems have been restructured and changed considerably for print. Even the current variorum edition of Dickinson's work persists in defying her line breaks and removes or replaces her crosses with other marks (brackets and numbers to clarify, i.e. change, the system that Dickinson authored). By imposing conventional views of literary authorship (as expressed by book publication) and divorcing her poems from their formal integrity and its intended specificity, the implications of an unusual, complex, pervasive system are harder to understand.
I wanted to see what patterns formed when all of the marks in a single fascicle, Dickinson's grouping of poems, remained in position, isolated from the text, and were layered in one composite field of marks. The works I created were made proportionate to the scale of the original manuscripts but quite large—about 8' wide by 6' high—to convey the exact gesture of the individual marks. I scanned Dickinson's manuscript facsimiles (about twenty pages per fascicle), edited them digitally to form composites of just the marks, and used a projector to transfer the marks onto cotton batting (to suggest a highly magnified page) prepared with a hand-sewn center line (a stand-in for the folio fold) and machine-sewn lines that replicated those of the light-ruled laid paper or blue-ruled paper. I embroidered Dickinson's marks in with handspun hand-dyed red silk thread.
The fascicles from which I made composites showed clearly identifiable shifts in the size, gesture, frequency, and distribution of the marks. In contemplating such an odd physical study, one naturally forms one's own questions about the nature and meaning of the marks; it makes their presence on the facsimile manuscript page more striking, systemic, factual—and their omission from typeset poems more evident.
I have never doubted Dickinson's profound precision, however private, nor that the energetic relation of these marks and variants is anything but integral to her poetics. I have come to feel that specificity of the + and – marks in relation to Dickinson's work are aligned with a larger gesture that her poems make as they exit and exceed the known world. They go vast with her poems. They risk, double, displace, fragment, unfix, and gesture to the furthest beyond—to loss, to the infinite, to "exstasy," to extremity.

Some heart attacks are sudden and intense, but many heart attacks start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort. Don't wait too long before getting help. Signs of a heart attack:
Quick treatment minimizes heart muscle damage and can save your life!
A heart attack occurs when the flow of blood through a coronary artery is completely blocked. Most of the time, a heart attack causes permanent damage to your heart muscle, which is why it's also called a myocardial infarction or MI. Myocardial means "heart muscle," and infarction means "tissue death".
Most heart attacks are caused by coronary artery disease (CAD), the buildup of a material called plaque in the coronary arteries. This buildup can eventually block the flow of blood in the artery, or cause blood clots that block the artery. A less common cause of heart attack is a spasm in the artery
Learn more about heart attack from Intermountain's Patient Education Library:
An EKG is a visual record of the spread of electrical impulses through the heart. These electrical impulses initiate the heartbeat.
Your doctor will discuss your treatment options with you. Possible treatments for this condition include:
Angioplasty is a treatment in which a catheter with a deflated balloon at the tip is inserted into a narrowed artery. The balloon is then inflated at the site of the narrowing to help widen the artery and improve blood flow.
Brachytherapy uses radiation to keep blocked heart arteries open. It is usually combined with angioplasty and stent placement.
In bypass surgery, a vein from your leg — or an artery from your chest wall or arm — is used to bypass a coronary artery that is narrowed or blocked by fatty plaque buildup.
Stent placement is a procedure where a small metal coil or tube is inserted into a narrowed artery to hold it open.
Services and programs at Intermountain Heart Institute for heart attack patients:
Our Cardiology Program focuses on the diagnosis, medical management, and prevention of cardiovascular disease, including the rapid treatment of heart attacks. Our patients are often referred to us from primary care providers for help with conditions such as coronary heart disease (atherosclerosis or narrowing of coronary arteries), heart failure, heart murmurs, peripheral artery disease, structural heart and valve disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arrhythmias, or other cardiac issues.

Parlor guitar
Parlor or parlour guitar usually refers to a type of acoustic guitar smaller than a concert guitar.
The popularity of these guitars peaked between the late 19th century until the 1950s. Many blues and folk musicians have used smaller-bodied guitars, which were often more affordable, mass production models.
Parlor guitar has also come to denote a style of American guitar music from the 19th and early 20th centuries.[citation needed] Noted composers include William Foden, Winslow Hayden, William Bateman, Justin Holland, and Wilhelm Bischoff. The music for the guitar includes a variety of dance forms (waltz, schottische, polka), instrumental arrangements of popular songs, guitar arrangements of then popular classical music, operatic arrangements and music from European guitar composers (Sor, Giuliani, Carcassi, Coste and Mertz). The Scruggs style and its banjo rolls are based upon and contemporary with parlor-style guitar.[citation needed]
In the 2000s, the parlor guitar is enjoying a renaissance among players "who like their midrangery tone, historic vibe, and easy portability".[1] Modern luthiers are making parlor guitars in a wide variety of tonewoods. Takamine Guitars produces one made of cedar and koa, with a preamp powered by a 12AU7, the first acoustic guitar with a tube preamp.[1] Fylde Guitars produces the 'Single Malt Ariel' constructed from used whisky casks.

UPDATED: German Chancellor Merkel turns her back on Cuban dictator Raul Castro in Chile
German Chancellor Angela Merkel apparently wanted nothing to do with Cuban dictator Raul Castro when he tried to approach and greet the European leader at the CELAC summit in Chile this weekend. Seeing the bloody dictator making his way towards her, Merkel quickly turned her back and struck up a conversation with Bolivia's dictator in the making, Evo Morales.
Via EFE as reported in Spain's DIARIO VASCO (my translation):
Santiago de Chile, Jan. 26 (EFE) - Upon arriving at the CELAC-EU summit, which began this Saturday in Santiago, German Chancellor Angela Merkel turned her back on Cuban president Raul Castro today and struck up a conversation with Evo Morales, the Bolivian leader.
According to information given EFE by witnesses, Merkel turned her back on Castro when he approached to greet her right before the commencement of the plenary session at the Espacio Riesco, the convention center where this weekend 40 heads of state from Europe and Latin America are meeting.
In contrast, as could be seen by the televised coverage, the chancellor spoke with Evo Morales for several minutes with the help of a translator.
UPDATE: It turns out Merkel's snub of Raul Castro was too good to be true. Merkel did indeed greet and shake the bloody hand of Raul Castro. Read more HERE.

Fedora 17 KDE and GNOME 3 preview
Fedora 17, code-named Beefy Miracle, was released yesterday for all to download and use. Aside for the main edition, which uses the GNOME 3 desktop environments, installation images for three main Spins were also released. These are for KDE, LXDE and Xfce.
Specialized Spins for Security, Scientific-KDE, Design-suite, SoaS, Games, Electronic-lab and Robotics were also released. It is very unlikely that I will review these, but there will be reviews of the main edition and KDE Spin. While the reviews are still being baked, here are a few screen shots from test installations of the main edition and KDE Spin for your viewing pleasure.
The test installations from which these screen shots were taken were installed using the Live CD images of both editions. For the GNOME edition, this is what you are presented with after booting into the Live desktop. Like what you see in Ubuntu, but slightly more visually appealing.
And after installation, the login screen.
Authentication prompt during package installation.
Notification messages appearing atop the Panel-Docklet panel. Panel-Docklet was installed using this guide.
Favorite icons from the Panel-Docklet box.
Installed games plus a few other features.
This ends the GNOME side. KDE screen shots follow.
With the menu, the Kickoff menu.
Calligra is the installed office suite.
A view from the KDE Plasma Netbook interface.
Firewalld and firewall-applet are still not ready for production yet and are not installed, but this should be what you see in Fedora 18.
Dolphin with the ROSA theme icons. Much better than the default Oxygen theme icons.
You may download installation ISO images for your platform here.

Review GNOME 3.4 Slow or Fast??
How did you remove the active window button from the top panel? I've tried Panel-Docklet but the one thing holding me back from using it is the fact I couldn't figure out how to remove the window buttons from the top panel.

Software versioning is the process of assigning either unique version names or unique version numbers to unique states of computer software. Within a given version number category (major, minor), these numbers are generally assigned in increasing order and correspond to new developments in the software. At a fine-grained level, revision control is often used for keeping track of incrementally different versions of electronic information, whether or not this information is actually computer software.
In the most common software versioning scheme, different major releases of the software each receive a unique numerical identifier. This is typically expressed as three numbers, separated by periods, such as version 2.4.13. One very commonly followed structure for these numbers is:
In most commercial software, the first released version of a software product has version 1.0. Numbers below 1 mean alpha or beta versions, i.e., versions for testing purposes or internal use, or versions that are not stable enough for general or practical deployment. In principle, in subsequent releases, the major number is increased when there are significant jumps in functionality, the minor number is incremented when only minor features or significant fixes have been added, and the revision number is incremented when minor bugs are fixed. A typical product might use the numbers 0.9 (for beta software), 0.9.1, 0.9.2, 0.9.3, 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.1, 1.1.1, 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.1, 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.2, etc. Developers may at times jump (for example) from version 5.0 to 5.5 to indicate that significant features have been added, but not enough to warrant incrementing the major version number.
There is sometimes a fourth, unpublished number which denotes the software build (as used by Microsoft). Some companies also include the build date. Version numbers may also include letters and other characters, such as Lotus 1-2-3 Release 1a.
A different approach is to use the major and minor numbers, along with an alphanumeric string denoting the release type, i.e. "alpha", "beta" or "release candidate". A release train using this approach might look like 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 == 1.0b1, 1.0b2 (with some fixes), 1.0b3 (with more fixes) == 1.0rc1 (which, if it is stable enough) == 1.0. If 1.0rc1 turns out to have bugs which must be fixed, it turns into 1.0rc2, and so on. The important characteristic of this approach is that the first version of a given level (beta, RC, production) must be identical to the last version of the release below it: you cannot make any changes at all from the last beta to the first RC, or from the last RC to production. If you do, you must roll out another release at that lower level.
This is to permit users (or potential adopters) to evaluate how much real-world testing a given build of code has actually undergone. If changes are made between, say, 1.3rc4 and the production release of 1.3, then that release, which asserts that it has had a production-grade level of testing in the real world, in fact contains changes which have not necessarily been tested in the real world at all. This approach commonly permits the third level of numbering ("change"), but does not apply this level of rigor to changes in that number: 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 1.3.3, 1.3.4... 1.4b1, etc.
There are two schools of thought regarding how numeric version numbers are incremented: Most free software packages treat numbers as a continuous stream, therefore a free software or open source product may have version numbers 1.7.0, 1.8.0, 1.8.1, 1.9.0, 1.10.0, 1.11.0, 1.11.1, 1.11.2, etc. An example of such a software package is MediaWiki. However, many programs treat version numbers in another way, and may have version numbers such as 1.8, 1.9, 1.91, 1.92, etc. In software packages using this way of numbering 1.91 is the next minor version after 1.9. Maintenance releases (i.e. bug fixes only) would generally be denoted as 1.91a, 1.91b, etc.
There are also two variations in how the fourth number (build) is separated from the rest of the version string. In most software projects, versions go like 184.108.40.206, 220.127.116.11, 22.214.171.124, etc. (an example is Iceweasel/Firefox), where the build is separated by a dot just like the other numbers. However, a small minority of programs do not separate the build at all, resulting in strings like 1.5.7, 1.5.71, etc. An example of that peculiar version numbering is Umbrello UML designer and the 7zip compression utility.
There exist some projects that use negative version numbers. One example is the smalleiffel compiler which started from -1.0 and is counting upwards to 0.0, and is currently at -0.77.
The standard GNU version numbering scheme is major.minor.revision, but emacs is notably using another scheme where the major number ("1") was dropped and a "user site" revision was added which is always zero in original emacs packages but increased by distributors.
Some projects use the major version number to indicate incompatible releases. Two examples are Apache APR and the FarCry CMS.
When using dates in versioning, for instance, file names, it is common to use the ISO scheme: YYYY-MM-DD, as this is easily string sorted to increasing/decreasing order. The hyphens are usually omitted.
Microsoft's build number is actually an encoded date.
In a similar way, the version number of METAFONT asymptotically approaches e.
This can apparently cause trouble for some package managers, though. The Rivendell (software) radio automation package, for example, is about to have to release its first full production release package... v1.0.1, because if they called it v1.0.0, RPM would refuse to install it, thinking that version is *older* than "1.0.0rc2".
Mac OS X has bucked this trend, having gone more conventionally from 10.0 to 10.5, one minor release at a time. However, note that the 10.4.10 update bucks the previously-indicated approach of having a "one- or two-digit major version, a one-digit minor version, a one-digit 'bug' (i.e. revision) version…". The bug-fix value is not a decimal indicator, but is an incremental whole value; while it is not expected, there would be nothing preventing a distant-future "10.4.321" release.
In contrast to this, the free-software community tends to use version 1.0 as a major milestone, indicating that the software is "complete", that it has all major features, and is considered reliable enough for general release.
In this scheme, the version number slowly approaches 1.0 as more and more bugs are fixed in preparation for the 1.0 release. The developers of MAME do not intend to release a version 1.0 of their emulator program. The argument is that it will never be truly "finished" because there will always be more arcade games. Version 0.99 was simply followed by version 0.100 (minor version 100 > 99).
A similar thing happened with UnixWare 7, which was the combination of UnixWare 2 and OpenServer 5.
This can be seen in several Microsoft and America Online products, as well as Sun Solaris and Java Virtual Machine numbering, SCO Unix version numbers, and Corel Word Perfect, as well as the filePro DB/RAD programming package, which went from 2.0 to 3.0 to 4.0 to 4.1 to 4.5 to 4.8 to 5.0, and is about to go to 5.6, with no intervening release. A slightly different version can be seen in AOL's PC client software, which tends to have only major releases (5.0, 6.0, 7.0, etc.). Likewise, Microsoft Access jumped from version 2.0 to version 7.0, to match the version number of Microsoft Word.
Microsoft has also been the target of 'catch-up' versioning, with the Netscape browser skipping version 5 to 6, in line with Microsoft's Internet Explorer, but also because the Mozilla application suite inherited version 5 in its user agent string during pre-1.0 development and Netscape 6.x was built upon Mozilla's code base.
Sun's Java has at times had a hybrid system, where the actual version number has always been 1.x but three times has been marketed by reference only to the x:
Sun also dropped the first digit for Solaris, where Solaris 2.8 (or 2.9) is referred to as Solaris 8 (or 9) in marketing materials.
Another example of keeping up with competitors is when Slackware Linux jumped from version 4 to version 7 in 1999. (Slackware FAQ)
Versioning amongst documents is relatively similar to the routine used with computers and software engineering, where with each small change in the structure, contents, or conditions, the version number is incremented by 1, or a smaller or larger value, again depending on the personal preference of the author and the size or importance of changes made.
As an example of surprising version number ordering implementation behavior, in Debian, leading zeroes are ignored in chunks, so that 5.0005 and 5.5 are considered as equal, and 5.5<5.0006. This can confuse users; string-matching tools may fail to find a given version number; and this can cause subtle bugs in package management if the programmers use string-indexed data structures such as version-number indexed hash tables.
In order to ease sorting, some software packages will represent each component of the major.minor.release scheme with a fixed width. Perl represents its version numbers as a floating-point number, for example, Perl's 5.8.7 release can also be represented as 5.008007. This allows a theoretical version of 5.8.10 to be represented as 5.008010. Other software packages will pack each segment into a fixed bit width, for example, 5.8.7 could be represented in 24 bits: (5 << 16 | 8 << 8 | 7 ). The floating-point scheme will break down if any segment of the version number exceeds 1,000; a packed-binary scheme employing 8 bits apiece after 256.

Firing Infinity Ward top talent Jason West and Vince Zampella in 2010 was not a difficult decision for Activision CEO Robert Kotick to make. In a New York Times profile published this week, Kotick addressed the swift and severe action taken against the high-profile developers.
"You find out two executives are planning to break their contracts, keep the money you gave them, and steal 40 employees. What do you do? You fire them," Kotick said.
Activision's high-profile court case against West and Zampella, along with 40 other former Infinity Ward developers, was settled in May this year before it could be heard by a trial. Terms of the deal were not disclosed at the time and have not been since, though one analyst previously projected this figure to be in the tens of millions.
Elsewhere in the profile, it was revealed why the massively popular Call of Duty brand has not spawned a Hollywood adaptation. Kotick said game-to-film adaptations rarely work out and could in fact blemish the franchise. Hollywood studios have reached out to Activision, he said, though all requests thus far have been denied.

Visualize the Voices of the Vulnerable Challenge Winner
Last year, UN Global Pulse launched a large-scale mobile phone based survey to ask people from five countries in different regions of the world how they are dealing with the effects of the global economic crisis. Using the data generated by this survey, Visualizing.org and UN Global Pulse challenged you to visualize the voices of vulnerable populations in times of global crisis. We were thrilled by the more than twenty projects submitted to this challenge. It was a very strong set of projects that help answer these questions: How do people in different nations describe their quality of life? What types of changes do people make in order to cope with economic uncertainty? How do individuals perceive their future outlook?
Congratulations to Elena Paunova on winning the Visualize the Voices of the Vulnerable Challenge. She will be invited to the United Nations in New York for a high-level UN Global Pulse presentation to UN Member States, and will be awarded a $2000 prize, courtesy of GE.
Paunova's visualization begins with an overview of the five countries in the survey: Mexico, Uganda, Ukraine, India, and Iraq. By juxtaposing an average sentiment graph with the economic statistics for each country, intriguing questions start to surface. Why, for instance, do Ugandans report improvement at much higher rates than Ukrainians, despite having a lower literacy rate, higher poverty ratio, and lower life expectancy? Does Ukraine's higher unemployment rate answer the question?
Though the overall numbers are interesting, the fascinating core of the Mobile Survey lies in the individual human stories found in the actual responses of the participants. Paunova's visualization allows you to drill down two more levels: first to a grid of responses for each country ranked from positive to negative, then to read each text message in its entirety. Exploring at this level of detail intimately connects you to the triumphs and challenges of the anonymous respondents, conveying a sense of personal contact rarely found in data visualization.
A final "data summary" page draws out some words and phrases that appear frequently, though this automated sifting is relatively muted, encouraging the user to really explore the responses themselves. The jury found Paunova's project to exhibit a particularly elegant visual design, that encourages engaging with the material. Congratulations again, Elena!
The jury also selected a runner-up: Andy Kirk. His project (embedded below) impressed them with the depth and rigor of its statistical analysis. Kirk's piece is easy to grasp, and manages to convey a sophisticated explanation and detailed contextualizing information about the countries. For this honorable mention, he will receive a $500 prize, courtesy of GE.
Thanks again to all who entered the challenge, and to UN Global Pulse for collecting this important data. View all the entries.
Congratultaions! They deserved this award. Keep it up! - Green Water Technologies
Congratulations to winner and runner-up. Good job!
Congratulations Elena and Andy! And a very sincere THANK YOU to all who submitted to this challenge.
You can find a write up about the submissions, by our Global Pulse data scientist, here: http://www.unglobalpulse.org/blog/%E2%80%9Cvisualize-voices-vulnerable%E...
Edward, Steve, Jacob - thanks for your comments on the survey methodology/background. We were certainly cognizant of this selection bias going into a mobile-phone based survey. As noted, this was not certainly not a statistically significant sample. Participants self-selected, and we had different partner organizations administering the survey in each country - so we were limited by the access which they had.
It was very much an experiment to see if this kind of rapid data collection is possible, and to see what kind of data we would get back. It was a messy data set, but we wanted primarily to learn the language people use to describe coping with crises, so that we could begin developing approaches for listening/analysis in the future.
That said, the approach proposed as a next step (regularly taking the pulse to track changes in sentiment) is indeed something we are planning to do. Longitudinal surveys over time would really give us a better baseline to understand changes.
Thanks again to the Visualizing.org community - it's been a great experience to engage with you all on these important topics! We hope you will keep collaborating with us as we expand our work.

Thank you very much to all the judges for selecting my entry among the many great submissions in the challenge – it truly is an honor to be recognized among so many great designers. I had an invaluable time working with this very unique and personal data set and it makes me very happy that you have found the visualization to achieve its purpose – many thanks to UN Global Pulse, GE, and Visualizing.org for this great opportunity and recognition!
Congratulations to Andy also for his great visualization and analysis, and to all participants for the brilliant work!
Congratulation to Elena and and Andy!
I do like your clear and great looking visualizations. Your (and others) visualizations in this great challenge did inspire me. Thanks to all participants and of course to GE and Global Pulse for making it happen.
@Steve: regarding the positive perception in Uganda I agree with you this has little to do with the absolute numbers like literacy rate and poverty ratio. Besides your explanation I think cultural differences play a role as well. Maybe the average perception is biased by a general positive sentiment of people in Uganda? Therefore I think the survey is not bad, but more appropriate to notice a trend over time within one country than to notice differences between countries.
you write:
"Why, for instance, do Ugandans report improvement at much higher rates than Ukrainians, despite having a lower literacy rate, higher poverty ratio, and lower life expectancy?"
Sadly, I think there is a simple answer to this question, but it underscores what I believe is a serious flaw in the survey methodology -- the percentage of Ugandan population that owns a cell phone is at most 29%, vs. an over-saturation in the Ukraine. In other words, it is quite likely that the people responding from Uganda were much better off financially than their fellow citizens so you are in fact listening to the voices of the relatively well-do-to.
I prepared an analysis of the survey findings here http://www.datarevelations.com/hopefulness-and-hopelessness-%E2%80%93-vo...
Congrats Elena and Andy great job!
Congratulations Elena and thank you to all the judges for my runners-up mention!

Leonard's grip on Aztecs' success has been huge
View brackets, statistics
Videos: Get to know the SDSU Aztecs
Additional coverage
TUCSON When Kawhi Leonard was born, Kim Robertson noticed her son had a birthmark on his neck.
"I said, 'Good, they can't switch babies on me,' " Robertson says.
Then she scanned down his body and stopped at his hands. They were enormous. Big, wide palms. Long, curling fingers. Completely disproportionate to the rest of the physique. Now she really knew nobody could switch babies on her.
But she took Kawhi home and got on with their life and never gave her son's hands much thought. They lived in Riverside; there was no need to buy winter gloves.
Leonard himself never thought much of it, either, until he was a freshman at Canyon Springs High. He was a wide receiver on the football team, and the school didn't have receiver gloves that fit him in the equipment room. The coaches sent him to a local sporting goods store to get some, and the clerk brought out his biggest size.
Didn't fit. They had to special order some.
And that was before Leonard hit his growth spurt.
The average male hand, measured from the base of the palm to tip of the middle finger, is 7 3/8 inches. For women, it's 6¾ inches. Leonard's are 9 3/8 inches.
"Yeah," he says, "I have pretty big hands."
The hands that guide them.
San Diego State is 33-2 this season and a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament and a victory against Temple today from reaching the Sweet 16, a promise land that a school devoid of any real basketball tradition had never dared dream about before Leonard arrived on campus last year. There are other pieces around him — a senior point guard, two starting senior forwards, a veteran bench, a veteran coach — but it is increasingly apparent that this team will go as far as its sophomore forward leads it.
The Aztecs won a Division I NCAA Tournament game for the first time in school history on Thursday, 68-50 against 15th-seeded Northern Colorado, and Leonard wasted no time establishing his dominance. He scored SDSU's first eight points and finished with 21 points to go with 10 rebounds.
NBA scouts and opposing coaches marvel at his unique athletic package. The broad shoulders. The long arms (his wing span is 7 feet, 3/8 inches). The powerful legs. The relentless energy. The uncanny instincts.
The day before their game, Northern Colorado coach B.J. Hill was asked what concerned him about Leonard.
"That's a long list," Hill said. "He's a deadly combination of size, athleticism and motor. You don't really see guys who are 6-7, 225 (pounds) and have his skill set and play with the tenacity that he does for every second that he is out there. I mean, he is what all coaches dream of.
"A lot of times you can get little guards at 5-10, 5-11 that play like that. But to find a 6-7 guy like that …
"I mean, we don't face anybody like that in the Big Sky."
The conversation, though, eventually returns to the same thing. Those hands.

Hyping Hospitality!
"What's all the fuss about this 'ConSuite' anyway?"
Hospitality is an important part of Writercon. Our membership comes from, literally, all over the world to participate in panels on every aspect of writing. We are here to work at making ourselves better, more marketable writers, to hone our craft and improve our skills - but many of us also use this as a time to reconnect with friends old and new, and we want to make every moment count when we only have a few of them wedged into all the great programming and events during this single weekend.
The consuite is the place to kick back and relax, either alone or with those friends. You can grab a bite to eat, have a few drinks and laugh out loud. You can read some great fic from the reading library. There are often events, both scheduled and impromptu happening in hospitality, so come on down during the weekend and say hi!
Hospitality has a budget, but it primarily runs off its own donations. Though we all know that beer, chocolate, coffee and orange food are essentials to any con, we provide more than just the traditional con food groups. Whether it's some cereal in the morning, a salad at lunch or sandwich at dinner time, we want to make sure that no congoer has to subsist on McDonalds or cold pizza for the whole weekend. We simply ask that you thoughtfully consider making a donation.
Speaking of having a good time in the consuite - Writercon is famous for our margaritas! At Writercon in Atlanta, we burned out the motor in the blender in 24 hours. We're hoping to be better prepared this time. As in the past, we'll have a fairly diverse bar selection and hope you'll spend some time toasting the good times and sharing laughter and stories when you have time to do so. For anyone flying out Monday morning, don't forget to come to the dead dog party on Sunday night - come say goodbye with a bang!
As always, we are please to have non-alcoholic, vegetarian and vegan options available.

Home Ashford News Article
An Ashford sweet shop owner has rescued an African woman "tethered like an animal" for a year because her family believed she was possessed by demons.
Former psychiatric nurse Lyn Suddards, who now runs Mr Simms Olde Sweet Shoppe in the High Street, went on a mission to Cameroon through St Mary's Church to raise awareness of mental illness in the west central African country.
But when she was faced with a 49-year-old wife and mother tied up outside her parents' hut, Lyn's three-week trip to the village of Banso in the country's North West Province took an unexpected turn.
The 61-year-old grandmother, who lives in Queen Street, said: "The missionary I travelled with and one of the pastors were both concerned about the number of people who complained of village members being possessed by demons.
"At the end of my first training course, one of the health workers asked if I would go to her village and see this woman, Ita.
"The health worker had thought the woman was possessed but after the course she thought maybe she had a mental illness.
"When I went out and saw her I just cried - I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
"She was tethered like an animal. She had a long rope around her wrist, which allowed her to go to the toilet and lie down at night."
Lyn added: "She was incoherent, but she wasn't really with it enough to be upset by her situation.
"She had been married and living in another village but when she became disturbed her husband sent her back to her parents.
"They were feeding her but she was incontinent in urine and faeces. Her parents loved her and cared for her, but didn't know what to do with her."
Lyn advised a community nurse to administer anti-psychotic medication and Ita has now been untied and is slowly being integrated back into her community.
The Brit was able to pay for Ita's drugs for a year and has vowed to return with more money in 2015.
She said: "When I was sent photos of Ita after I returned home and saw the difference in her it was an amazing feeling. It made the whole journey worthwhile.
"There are no mental health professionals out there and the health professionals I met had no knowledge whatsoever about mental illness.
"The group I was with have now applied to their funders for more mental health input and have used Ita as an example of how a life can be improved through training."

Rated 4 out of 5Â by ScienceGirl Cute Babydoll Dress, Defective Mesh :-( I ordered this dress in the ivory colorway. The dress is very sweet overall. It is girly, versatile and the cotton sateen Peter Pan collar is adorable. It is however important to note a couple of facts when comparing the dress to the online photos. 1) The ivory photos make it appear that the dress tapers in at the waist to some extent. It does not. I actually expected a rectangular babydoll style dress based on the catalog photo and that is exactly what I got. There is very little difference between the bust and waist measurements. I personally like this shape as long as is light and/or sheer, so the silhouette was not an issue for me. 2) The dress looks totally different with the slip that comes with it. The slip is ivory and as loose as the dress. IMHO it is not as flattering as the bodycon slip worn in the ivory photos. For a flattering ivory on ivory look, I suggest the amazing Seamless Mini Slip. The sizing overall is on the large side even for an oversized piece. I measure 38-26-36 and wear a 36C bra. I bought my usual M in FP dresses, but S would have fit better. The bust on the M is 42' relaxed. In addition, the mesh has give and the slip has stretch. In the end, I decided to return the dress for a totally different reason. The mesh is very delicate and the embroidery heavy. This combination caused little tears in the mesh in the flower centres all over the dress I received. Please see photos. Of course, the defect may be an isolated one. Although I really liked the dress, I have plenty similar in style and didn't want to deal with questionable longevity. This was a return for me. :-) 6.7.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by HAS2 Cute Just received this dress in white in XS. I'm 5'4", 34C and 118lbs. It is very cute, a little loose around the waist but fits fine in the bust. I'd say the fit in the picture is very accurate. I noticed there were several questions regarding the slip underneath. The dress comes with a white detachable full slip. It's a cute dress but I'm not as in love as I had hoped. I was wanting it to rival the Flocked Dot Slip in fit and was already eyeballing the purple one, but it's a little looser in the waist than I usually prefer so I'm on the fence with the purple. It's very light and the fabric is great. If you like a little loose and flowy, you'd probably love this. 5.29.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Swagner Cute but runs big I ordered this dress in a small, which I usually am (sometimes even a medium) and it was HUGE. It was both too long and too loose, definitely felt like it was more like a medium, so I exchanged it for an xsmall and it was perfect! Still a bit roomy in the waist, so don't expect it to be fitted. I bought the purple one and I LOVE the color! It's super bright and comfortable! 9.19.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by KathrynW Gorgeous Ordered the white in small and its perfect. Its a little loose but I like it that way. The other thing is you have to be really careful because it can snag really easily. It comes with a white slip but I think it looks better with black. I love it!! 9.15.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by freepeoplegurl77 Pretty Cute But Not For Me I really like this dress, it is really cute but not on me. The dress is even more sheer then it looks, I suggest adding a body-cam and would also look good with the vegan Doc's It makes a very nice layering piece. Does not look well with white underneath. Runs a little big. I believe this piece looks best on lean figures. 9.8.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by semalina PURPLE MESH very feminine...very pretty...I'm 5'2"..105lbs and medium fits nice but couldve fit a small as well..love the collar 8.31.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by TheMoptop NEW FAVORITE DRESS! I was a little concerned about buying this dress when I read the reviews, but I was too in love not to go ahead with the purchase. And I was not one bit disappointed! The dress is a bit see through, but that's easily prevented by wearing spandex or a darker slip. The material is wonderful, and I couldn't be happier with this purchase! Thanks Free People! :) 7.28.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by toshbgosh So cute!!!!! I bought this in the purple and I love it. I didn't have the problem the other reviewers had with the quality. It looks great. The peter pan collar is super cute. I bought a medium which is my normal FP size and it looks darling. The purple is just as the picture shows. Very royal purple. I'm going to get in ivory too because I love it so much! Now that its on sale too its a great deal you should buy it =] 7.16.2012

PETER: Be careful on the speed claims on gaming.. It's OFTEN because games like Guild Wars 2 and WoW are NOT REALLY ported over to OS X. Yes they have a Mac Client, but that client is just Cider Wrapped and just like MOST companies, they use Cider and use the cider wrapper. Blizzard also does it with the WoW client.
Basically; it's a commercialized, highly custom, version of WINE with 3D / Gaming tweaks. This is so they can just make one game for the PC then have Cider wrap the game with the emulation code. Because of this, nearly all games will ALWAYS be slower. They will continue to be until game publishers / devs truly code for OS X.. Which most gaming companies do not!
Google Cider wrapper; you'll be surprised at how many games that are on the Mac are basically PC games.. lol

Owners: The BDO Stoy Hayward Guide for Growing BusinessesBy: Rupert Merson (author)eBook
The essential guide for anyone running a small or medium-sized business who wants to make it grow, avoiding the pitfalls which bring so many companies down. There are hundreds - no, thousands - of books for managers in large corporations or multi-nationals. And there are a handful of guides to running small businesses. Amazingly, there are no books on medium sized enterprises - despite the fact that they are the most vibrant and successful part of the economy. This is the third in a series of four books on the key functions in running any growing business (along with Finance Directors, Managing Directors and Non-executive Directors), written specifically to help small and medium-sized enterprises grow successfully and avoid the mistakes that ruin so many. The problems vary from personality clashes (horribly common), to running out of cash, ill-thought out expansion plans and misconceived acquisitions. Short, concisely written, and with clear, helpful advice, this is the essential guide - born from great experience - to help businesses grow successfully.

NEW PALESTINE — A Mexican restaurant raided last November is one of dozens named as defendants in a civil forfeiture lawsuit filed in Tippecanoe County.
El Jaripeo, which opened in New Palestine in early 2013, was one of many restaurants throughout the state that were targeted in the raids. Police confiscated more than $3.4 million during the operation statewide, and the lawsuit, filed by the Tippecanoe County prosecutor's office, seeks to keep the cash.
The lawsuit accuses the restaurants' owners and other parties in the businesses of obtaining the money illegally.
Paperwork filed in Tippecanoe County lists a seizure of $337.05 from the raid at El Jaripeo at 38 W. Main St. in New Palestine and named Antonio Salgado Pastrana as a defendant.
While the suspects in the statewide raids on Nov. 18 have not been charged with crimes and the cases are still under investigation, the suit claims the defendants should forfeit the money.

The French National Centre for Scientific Research (Centre national de la recherche scientifique or CNRS) is the largest governmental research organisation in France and the largest fundamental science agency in Europe.
It involves 26,000 permanent employees (researchers, engineers, and administrative staff) and 4,000 temporary workers.
The CNRS has six divisions, or in French, départements scientifiques. The core divisions are:
Transversal divisions, in which researchers are also associated with one of the core divisions, are:
The National Commission for Scientific Research (CN), which is in charge of the recruitment and evaluation of researchers, maintains a parallel division of scientific endeavor into 47 sections. Research groups belong to one or more departments; the researchers themselves belong to one section.
For administrative purposes, CNRS includes 18 regional divisions (including four just for the region of Paris).
CNRS runs its research units either independently or in association with other institutions, including those in higher education. (In French these units are called laboratoires informally and unités de recherche in administrative parlance. The research groups are either operated solely by CNRS (and then known as unités propres de recherche or UPR) or as mixed organizations (unités mixtes de recherche or UMR). Each research unit has a unique numeric code attached and is headed by a director (typically, a university professor or CNRS research director).
Currently CNRS researchers are active in 1,256 research groups, 85 percent of which are jointly run and also include non-CNRS researchers. The prevalence of such "mixed" research groups is an unusual characteristic of the French system. This mixing may hinder those outside the French higher education system from properly attributing works, since each laboratory may have many different names (UMR code, full name, acronym, CNRS address, university address, department inside university address).
The headquarters of CNRS are in the Campus Gérard Mégie, rue Michel-Ange, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. )
Researchers who are members of CNRS are classified in two categories, in order of seniority:
Theoretically, research directors may head research groups, but this is not a general rule.
All permanent employees (research engineers, technical and administrative personnel) are recruited through annual nationwide competitive campaigns. The candidates selected have the status of civil servants and are part of the fonction publique.
CNRS is represented through administrative centers in Brussels, Beijing, Tokyo, Hanoi, Washington, D.C., Bonn, Moscow, Tunis, Johannesburg, and Santiago de Chile.
The centre was created on 19 October 1939 by decree of President Albert Lebrun. Since 1954, the centre has annually awarded gold, silver, and bronze medals to French scientists and junior researchers. In 1966, the organisation underwent structural changes, which resulted in the creation of two specialised institutes: the National Astronomy and Geophysics Institute in 1967, which became the National Institute of Sciences of the Universe (INSU) in 1985, and the National Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics (IN2P3) in 1971.
The performance of CNRS has been brought into question, with calls for wide-ranging reforms. In particular, the effectiveness of the recruitment, compensation, career management, and evaluation procedures were under scrutiny. Governmental projects include the transformation of CNRS into an organ allocating support to research projects on an ad hoc basis, and the reallocation of the CNRS researchers to the universities. Another controversial plan advanced by the government involves breaking up CNRS into six separate institutes.
Arnold Migus was named director general on 18 January 2006 after the dismissal of reformist Bernard Larrouturou.

Sunken cargo ship leaking oil, fertilizer into Indian Ocean
January 9, 2012
CHRISTMAS ISLAND, Australia — A cargo ship sank in Christmas Island's port on Sunday, spilling oil and phosphate fertilizer into the sea, BigPond News reported.
Poor weather conditions and clouds have prevented the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) from assessing the extent of the leaks in waters at the island, in the Indian Ocean off Western Australia, the article stated.
"Unfortunately the weather has actually turned a little bit worse this afternoon and the condition of the casualty (ship) is in fact getting worse and worse and there is a danger the ship may break up," said Toby Stone, AMSA's marine environment manager.There were about 100 tons of fertilizer and 100 tons of fuel on board the ship when it sank.

One of the more prominent titles to come out of the indie development scene in the last couple of years is And Yet It Moves. Developed by Vienna, Austria-based Broken Rules, the mind-bending puzzle platformer earned a positive reception upon its release for the PC last year. Now, Wii gamers have been given their own move-in date, as Broken Rules announced today that And Yet It Moves will arrive for WiiWare on August 23.
Winner of the 2007 Independent Games Festival Student Showcase, And Yet It Moves features physics-based gameplay in which players solve environmental obstacles by rotating the gameworld. By tilting the Wii Remote, gamers can turn a wall into a floor, for example. However, the same movement could cause a once-stationary pile of rocks to turn into treacherous tumbling boulders.
And Yet It Moves offers 20 different levels, spread across four different environments. Said environments feature a paper-collage aesthetic, and the homespun look is complemented by "handmade sounds and music."
Gamers can pick up And Yet It Moves for 1,000 Wii points ($10). For more information, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.

Summary note:
This is a tale about a team, a class, a school, a series of contests and, set in the midst of this, four jewel-like short stories--one for each of the team members--that ask questions and demonstrate surprising answers. How had Mrs. Olinski chosen her sixth-grade Academic Bowl team? She had a number of answers. But were any of them true? How had she really chosen Noah and Nadia and Ethan and Julian? And why did they make such a good team? It was a surprise to a lot of people when Mrs. Olinski's team won the sixth-grade Academic Bowl contest at Epiphany Middle School. It was an even bigger surprise when they beat the seventh grade and the eighth grade, too. And when they went on to even greater victories, everyone began to ask: How did it happen?
