Integración Vertical: El caso de la Explotación de Aeropuertos
AbstractThe provision of airport services results in a web of contractual relationships between the main contractor and other firms. The existence of multiple services offered in airports allows several contractual alternatives to be chosen. In particular, the main contractor may choose to carry out these under his own management ("vertical integration") or alternatively transfer them so they are under the control of another firm ("dis-integration"). The advantages of either alternatives depends on a host of factors. This paper analyzes the impact on vertical integration of: (a) difficulties in controlling labor and (b) the need for specialized knowledge on specific business processes. The paper shows that, in general, the decision to integrate a process is inversely related to the above two factors. The paper also analyzes the relevance of dis-integration as a tool for the reduction of business risks. We find that – for this industry – decisions relative to dis-integration do not appear to be justified as a tool for managing risks (income variability) of the firm.

Childhood Obesity
An American health crisis
You may have noticed that today's kids are chubbier than when you were a child. In fact, according to the United States Surgeon General, in 1999, 13 percent of kids aged three to eleven years and 14 percent of adolescents aged 12 to 19 years in the United States were overweight. That figure has nearly tripled for adolescents in the past two decades. To compound matters further, type 2 diabetes, linked to obesity and once considered an adult affliction, is dramatically on the rise in kids. And while we'd all love to point the finger at kids' diets as the only culprit for these devastating and potentially dangerous trends (although the consumption of junk food doesn't help this equation one bit), the real problem stems from the fact that today's kids are much more sedentary than a generation ago.
Think about it: with the countless cable channels devoted exclusively to children's programming, it's no wonder that today's kids watch an average of 15 to 25 hours of television a week—not exactly an aerobic workout. Add computer and video games to the mix and who's got time to go outside and play a game of basketball?
According to a recent report by the National Institute of Health, the average third-grade student receives a mere 25 minutes per week of moderate to vigorous physical activity during school (experts say children should receive a minimum of 30 minutes per day). Due to budget cuts, many schools continue to trim back physical education programs, too (only 5.9 percent of American school kids have PE daily).
So what can you do to ensure your child won't turn into a couch potato? Here's a list of some simple guidelines to get your kid on the right track to a healthy lifestyle.
Focus on Habits
First and foremost, experts say to focus in on positive healthy habits and not on your child's weight. Children need support and love, not criticism.
Turn off the TV
While it may seem impossible to wean your son off afternoon cartoons, you could impose a 3 to 5 PM moratorium, for instance, and encourage him to play outside instead.
Set a Good Example
Practice what you preach. You can't ask your child to go outside and get some exercise while you're indulging in a pint of Rocky Road in front of an I Love Lucy marathon. Studies have shown that if parents are active in sports or some form of exercise, their children will follow their lead and be active, too.
Exercise as a Family
Schedule one fun activity that the whole family can enjoy such as hiking or biking each Saturday or Sunday. Remember, the emphasis should be on fun.
Encourage Lifelong Sports
Cycling, running, and swimming are fun and offer a great workout that can continue well into adult years. Healthy kids often become healthy adults.
Cut Down on Fat and Calories
And when it comes to food, don't put your child on a strict diet but instead slowly cut down on the amount of fat and calories in your family meals. Stock the refrigerator with healthy snacks such as fruit and yogurt (toss the cookies and soda), and never allow snacking while watching TV!

text: 5 notes Posted 7, May, 2009 Glarkware: Legends of the Eastside You might think it would be fun to shop with a fashionista, but? It's not. For the true trend mavens, all the fun has been drained from the activity, leaving the whole procedure just plain hard work. They've researched all the designers and been to their shows. They can not only spot a knockoff, but know precisely which line has been copied. They can take any four items out of their wardrobes and make an outfit that works just by picking the right accessories. For all these reasons, if you want to commemorate pop culture's foremost fashionistas on a t-shirt, you can't try to compete with the Missoni knit patterns or Diane Von Furstenberg prints bursting out of the closets. Instead, you go the other way. Thanks, Helvetica! By saying nothing, you say so very much. [Gossip Girl] #Glarkware #Gossip Girl #television

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I always had the same basic issue with the PTR, until the last patch. I knew that there were going to be issues with dual specs (which being an officer in my guild, I knew I would get questions from other guildies), so I hopped on there to pretty much check out the functionality.
I think this helped out a bunch, because a lot of people in my guild didn't know where to go, or how the mechanics of it worked even after they bought it.
Another thing was that I wanted to check out the tourney, which, because my computer was extremely laggy w/ the PTR, turned out to be little more than finding the location of the tourney, so that I could get started right away when the patch went live.
My point is, that even if you are not a hardcore raider, you may find some use in stopping by the PTR, even if it is only to check out the new druid forms :-)

Charleville Overview
Charleville is located at the junction of the Mitchell and Warrego Highways, 270 miles west of Brisbane and is an important regional centre of this cattle and sheep rearing region.
There are many heritage buildings including The Queensland National Bank Building and some fine walks along the Warrego River which flows through the town. Charleville has always had an association with aviation.
Ross and Keith Smith, the first aviators to fly from London to Sydney, landed with mechanical problems in 1919, Amy Johnson landed at Charleville in 1920, the first Qantas airmail flight left from Charleville in 1922 and the Royal Flying Doctors have a base here.
The Royal Flying Doctor Service Visitors Centre is worth visiting and has a film presentation showing the work of the service as well as and exhibits and memorabilia.
National Parks
Today sheep and cattle farming are the towns principal industry.
Of interest in the area are several National Parks, namely Thruston, Chesterton and Carnarvon which features ancient Aboriginal paintings.
Emus to Sheep
Roma is around 270 Km east of Charleville and again sheep and cattle farming are the dominant industry. However, emus are also farmed here, wine is produced at a local vineyard and natural gas is extracted near the town and piped to Brisbane.
There is a good selection of accommodation in the area as Roma is the site of one of the largest cattle markets in the state
Charleville is located in southern central, outback Queensland and has a latitude of 26.4°S and a longitude of 146.2° E.

Where Are They Now?: The Shark Finatics
As you know, we are now accepting nominations for our third annual Ocean Heroes Contest. Throughout the nomination period, which ends April 27th, I'll be featuring a few of the past winners and finalists to get you inspired. First up, the 2010 Junior Ocean Heroes: the Shark Finatics.
To jog your memory, the Shark Finatics are a group of students at Green Chimneys School in Brewster, New York who have raised more than $2,000 for shark research and conservation organizations around the world - and an immeasurable amount of awareness about shark finning.
The Finatics' teacher Robin Culler recently wrote to us with an enthusiastic update about her students. They were recently featured in the Southeast Brewster Patch, and Culler says the "the kids were awesome and you couldn't get a word in edgewise! They were so thrilled to teach yet one more person about sharks."

Happy New Year!
Happy new year, everyone!
Nothing says a fresh start, a new year, heck, a new decade, than babies -- particularly dolphin babies. So here's a cool animals-in-utero link to lift your spirits on this first Monday of the year, shamelessly pilfered from our friend Jennifer Jacquet at Guilty Planet.
What are your ocean-related new year's resolutions? Remember your reusable bags in the grocery store? Ditto for your seafood card? Write to your senators and representatives more often? Or maybe your sea-related resolution is just to visit the ocean at least once this year. That sounds pretty good right about now, doesn't it?

It fits my P3-AT just fine, but adds quite a bit of bulk. Works fine for front pocket of some baggy shorts, but is too much for front pocket in my jeans.
was supposed to fit Nano with Laser did not fit
Holster is well made but a lot smaller than was expected. It does not match the picture.
Fits my Ruger LCP perfectly. Would not want to carry it in a back pocket, but a coat pocket works just fine.
very pleased with the product and the speed of delivery thank you again for the great products and service bill bPlease enter your comments about this product here...
When selling a holster, as with shoes, they are size specific. You need to give some indication as to what weapon fits your holsters. However, the product was well made.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Keep in mind when ordering these that not everyone you invite will attend- we ended up with a couple dozen left over! We did put some of the extras to use, though, by cutting off the flowers in the corner and using them to decorate other things."
"I changed the table number Font to match the other paper items that will be issued to guests at the wedding. It was extremely easy and it works perfectly! I wish I could have personalized it a bit more but I am very happy with my experience and the finished product. These place cards are absolutely beautiful."
"I ordered these to go with the same style invitation and response cards (silver version). Very nice quality paper and graphics."
"Event: Parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary This card is GORGEOUS!. The picture does not show the elegant characteristics of this card. Wow were we impressed. We are in love with Wedding Paper Divas."
"These turned out perfect! It's very hard ordering items off the internet and hoping they are as perfect in person as they are on the computer screen. These didn't let me down! Beautifully done!"

PLAYERS: Dustin Pedroia, Stephen Drew

TEAMS: Boston Red Sox
Pedroia finally broke into the home run column last night - and the timing was great. Photo courtesy of the Herald. Dustin Pedroia finally broke out of a homer drought last night. The drought lasted 48 games dating back to last year, according to the Herald. Pedroia's at bat characterized everything he is about. He saw 10 pitches during the at bat, and fouled off 3 straight pitches after working the count full before he launched the ball into the Monster seats. His message post-game was simple according to the Herald - "I'm not a home run hitter." And he's really not. His game is grinding out at bats and finding ways to get hits. So far, his numbers reflect that. According to the Herald, he's hitting at .306 with a .403 on base percentage. That right there sums up Pedroia's game. But hopefully, 1 will lead to more, but as long as he continues to get hits and get on base, I'll be happy. We don't necessarily need power. We need to win games. Th...

|Jim Morris
|Ashok Garlapati
SU: The Western Australia/San Francisco mentoring partnership began with a friendship between individuals. How did this partnership begin? How long has it been in place?
JM/AG: It developed along the same lines, based on the individual friendship/efforts. When Ashok was a member of the Global Task Force in August 2006, he interacted closely with Region VI delegates, particularly Region VI Vice President Jim Morris. Both recognized the benefit of partnership, and proposed the partnership to Region VI and the Kuwait Chapter's Executive Committee in October 2006. The collaboration took off from there.
SU: What were some of the key stages and/or challenges in the development of this partnership?
JM/AG: There were two aspects in the formation of this partnership. On the business side of things, the Global Task Force constituted by ASSE provided opportunities for international chapter representatives and regional vice presidents to interact and discuss the challenges faced by ASSE's international members. On the social side, friendships developed out of these business relationships. For example, Kuwait joined Region VI during the traditional night out at the Leadership Conference. Leaders from Region VI mixed with leaders from the Kuwait Chapter. With the ability to communicate around the world via e-mail, the friendships continued and the partnership blossomed.
SU: Did cultural differences or geographical distance present any unique challenges?
JM/AG: Even though much geographical distance separates our chapters, we did not face any big challenges in terms of communication thanks to advances in information technology and the Internet. It did take some time for both sides to understand the cultural issues, such as which days are "work days" and which are weekend days for each country. With that understanding has also come a great amount of learning.
|ASSE's Most of the World Task Force, which included Jim Morris and Ashok Garlapati, met in Chicago in 2006.
SU: How much interaction do the members of each group have with each other? How often do you communicate with each other?
JM/AG: As part of the communication, the Kuwait Chapter president and secretary are included in the weekly updates sent by Jim Morris to the Region VI chapters. All in all, we probably interact with each other an average of about once a week.
SU: What has each group brought to the partnership?
JM/AG: The main focus has been the growing SH&E challenges for Kuwait Chapter members. They have to upgrade their knowledge and skills to meet these challenges. The chapter identified Region VI as a source of information in meeting such challenges. From Region VI's perspective, the Kuwait Chapter has provided a greater understanding of the SH&E challenges found outside the U.S. It has also been interesting to learn that the two entities face many of the same obstacles and opportunities.
SU: Are there any specific future plans for this partnership?
JM/AG: After the recent change in professional membership criteria, Kuwait Chapter members are working to upgrade their skills in order to obtain the certifications required for professional members status. Region VI is planning to provide preparation resources to Kuwait Chapter members. Additionally, we are working as a group to develop an official commemoration of the partnership. Region VI has even incorporated the Kuwaiti Towers as a part of its logo. As a result of our partnership, Region VI is often referred to as the "Galactic Region" (a phrase coined by former Region III RVP Richard Bourlon that stuck).
SU: What has been the most significant benefit of this partnership for Region VI? For the Kuwait Chapter?
JM/AG: As noted, the Kuwait Chapter gets regular weekly updates from Region VI. One significant achievement of the partnership was the participation of Kuwait Chapter members' children in the 2007 Kids' Safety-on-the-Job NAOSH Week poster contest—and several won prizes. This was the first time any children of international ASSE members participated in the contest. It was possible because of the regular communication between Region VI and Kuwait Chapter executives. In addition, for the first time the chapter submitted an application to the Chapter Stars program in 2007, and the chapter became the first international chapter to achieve this status. The two groups also have exchanged several best practices/initiatives.
SU: Can you offer any helpful advice to other chapters interested in developing a similar mentoring partnership?
JM/AG: After successful partnerships, the Kuwait Chapter, Western Australia Chapter and Region VI made a presentation during the recent Leadership Conference on the advantages of partnering. We are currently working within the Council on Member and Region Affairs to develop some guidelines for how and when partnerships should work within the Society.
SU: Talk about the SOG for Global Partnering that is being drafted. What will be the benefit of this operating guideline?
JM/AG: So far, these partnerships have developed individually. To ensure that the process continues and involves ASSE headquarters, a Society operating guideline (SOG) has been developed for partnering among the chapters. Our hope is that this SOG will encourage others to form partnerships and give them some guidance. As ASSE grows, we should look to use the technology to share best practices and, at times, share information about the practices that didn't work as well. Through the SOG, we hope to encourage partnerships and use the information shared to expand our presence around the world. Our goals and vision specifically mention ASSE as a global resource and leader, and this is one way to achieve that. Leadership in the SH&E field is by no means confined to the U.S. There is too much to share that crosses so many borders when we look at our mission to help protect people, property and the environment.

ARDMORE, OK -- City commissioners will look at an ordinance to continue sending money to the Ardmore Development Authority.
The agenda for Monday night's meeting states they are set to consider putting a one-quarter cent sales tax for economic development on the ballot.
If approved by voters, the tax would start in 2014 and last until 2024. The current tax is set to expire at the end of September.
Back in November, voters rejected another tax proposal to fund similar projects.

When most operators put a new turbine-powered Robinson R66 into service they spend some time flying it around the local area just to check things out. But when Moscow-based Aviamarket got its first pair of turbine-powered R66s, the company went a bit further. A six-week around-the-world-type further, to be exact.
As the Robinson dealer in Moscow and operator of a growing helicopter flying club, Avamarket's team was eager to show off the capabilities of their first pair of R66s, which had received Russian certification in March.

Oh my goodness TWO gorgeous home tours in ONE DAY?! How good am I? You guys are totally spoilt :) ha ha!
This is the beautiful little pad of Sydney-based artist / illustrator / blogger Renee Anne! Renee lives in The Hills district of Sydney with her boy James, who runs his own t-shirt biz – Foreshore Dynamic. So in a 2 bedroom apartment, with James's work and all Renee's art and illustration supplies, they have to be very strict with their storage and home organisation!
Renee has been a loyal TDF reader for as long as I can remember.. she often leaves me lovely comments and of course I am always curious who is reading, so it wasn't long before I started visiting Renee's own fab blog and folio site. She is certainly one talented lass and her blog is absolute girly gold so you must definitely visit and bookmark bookmark bookmark!
Renee says she has a little creative ADD(!) and loves the idea of doing lots of different creative projects… (sounds familiar!). Last year she co-curated a group art show titled Once Upon… she loved the experience and can't wait to play host at more art shows!
Renee's many talents do not stop at illustration, art curating and brilliant blogging – she also has a particular knack for making (and photographing) insanely delicious breakfasts! I am serious. I think a career in food styling beckons! (I am serious Renee!)
Check out Renee's artwork here, her wonderful blog here, her etsy store here and her Flickr here! But be careful… those breakfast photos are likely to have you licking your lips and contemplating much more decadent morning meals from now on… don't say I didn't warn you!
ps) Renee and I are also collaborating on a special little Sydney-centric project for The Design Files… I am so excited…! Stay tuned!
Love the bottom shot of Renee and James' evening laptop fest! I, too, am guilty of the post-dinner 'laptop-in-front-of-TV' thing….

Welcome to our Apostolic & Prophetic ministry. Located in the San Francisco Bay Area (California) we are called to proclaim the awesome Word of God, the healing fire of Jesus, the apostolic vision and the prophetic anointing of the Holy Spirit for America and the nations of the world.
Arriving in the US in January of 1990 from Europe (Portugal) my wife, myself and our children knew the Lord had a mission for us to accomplish in America. Ordained by the Assemblies of God since 1987 we incorporated our ministry in 2004 for the purpose of traveling the world to share the Prophetic ministry we have received from the Lord about 10 years ago. Our Prophetic Meetings are conducted in California and across North America and Europe. Also we support a missionary church in Lamego, Portugal, and one affiliated church in Turlock, California.
In the last 24 years we have planted 4 churches in the US and we plan to continue our Apostolic vision for the years to come.
Our goal is to reach out to the nations of the world and the United States of America. God is going to do something powerful in 2014. A major awakening is coming to the Body of Christ. Let's all be ready for it.
We believe the Body of Christ needs the
five fold ministries alive and well and the Lord has given us the Prophetic ministry to be a tool of encouragement and direction for the church today worldwide.
We need your help !!
Become one of our Partners.
Help us to proceed with this Prophetic Ministry

Dead Letter Office
To the editor:
I wrote three letters to Weiner last year asking for tax cuts. Why was it fair, I asked, for the government to spend more of my familys money than we do? In 2000, we kept only 38 percent of our income; the federal government alone spent more than we.
Weiner never respondednot even with a postcard.
Thank you for providing my congressman with a forum to respond, belatedly and indirectly, to my correspondence. I now understand that Weiner thinks of mea taxpaying constituentas no one.

S. Rameau
To the editor:
I agree that certain events trigger media swarms and prominent figures use the opportunity to get publicity for themselves, while other incidents go unnoticed by the public.
But there are bad people out there doing bad thingsincluding bad officers who hide behind their badges. In my life, I have met many police officers. All but two have been very pleasant (one made racially degrading statements to me, and the other was just plain mean), but those two make it hard for all the others.
The article ignores the racism that exists in America: think of the murder of James Byrd. Still, not all incidents are racially motivated. Some folks are just mean.
I agree that police are being treated unfairly. For the most part, the police are brave men and women who risk their lives to make everyone elses safer.
Uhuru Dawson
Heather Mac Donald responds:
Its true that racism exists in Americapracticed by all races, as S. Rameaus letter attests. But I do not believe it is the dominant force in America, nor that it necessarily holds back those who stay in school, study, obey the law, and seize the opportunities our society provides.
Rant and Rage
To the editor:
Among the many ignorant smears and outright lies in his article is that Woolfs obscure feminist tract The Three Guineas is a seminal text in universities. Typically, Woolfs writings are among those that one discovers for oneself. The fact that they are steady sellers, despite smear jobs like Dalrymples, is a testament to their literary staying power.
No amount of lies and ranting by idiots like himself will take away from Woolfs genius and well-deserved popularity. If Dalrymple and his handlers had a scintilla of good judgment, they would give up the fight and embrace her as a worthy member of the Western canonwhich she is, despite what they say.
Monarda B. Allen
To the editor:
Mock on, Mr. Dalyrmple. The charlatans ruling the roost nowadays must be called to account.
Edward Short
Theodore Dalrymple responds:
The Last Womyn?
To the editor:
We are not angry with our feminist mothers. We are annoyed with our peers who think they speak for us in complaining that feminism is obsolete. Something went wrong with their education if they think the world was a better place when their only option was homemakinga fine choice, if thats what you want to do.
Non-feminists and antifeminists want to blame feminists for the work/family balance problem because they are easier targets than the real culprits: their husbands, who still refuse to do an equal share of the housework and child care. Some women accept living in an unequal relationship.
Hymowitz should acknowledge who made it possible for the young women quoted in the article to make the decision to have careers, work part-time, or stay at home: feminists. The core of feminism is about choice, and the right to pursue ones life goals, whatever those are.
Laura Harrison & Lisa Moore
To the editor:
Wonderful also is the knowledge that another woman is alive and aware, who will write what she sees without being edited by Big Sister.

Cuba Libre!
To the editor:
Life there was good, full of a lively tempo and color Ive never found again anywhere else. Our city was beautiful and clean; there was always a festival somewherefrom religious processions to the most profane of carnivals. We exiles still mourn our loss, and yet are happy that we were spared the experience of seeing our way of life die slowly around us. Still, nowhere feels like home.

This was my second stay at this cozy inn. My son and I shared the whirlpool suite with the pull out sofa and it was perfect for us. Seely and David treat their guests like family.The in is spotless, safe and very quiet. It is 2 blocks from the beach on a tree lined street with a great front porch.i hesitate too say too many good things about it as it will always be booked up! Thank you both for a delightful weekend.M. Racioppo

We just returned from a RI vacation after spending 2 nights at the Blueberry cove inn. We stayed in the groundfloor whirlpool suite. It was comfy, clean and beautifully decorated. The Inn is just a few short blocks from the beach and many good restaurants. You can park your car and walk just about everywhere if you want to. The room was quiet even though it was on the ground floor. There was plenty of food at breakfast though one day there wasn't more than one offering...though each breakfast started with some yogourt and fruit, so if you didn't like the egg dish you still had enough to eat. Seely was very helpful and always had good suggestions. We would totally return again if Narraganset was our vacation destination.

The owner, Seely, is adorable, and made our stay so lovely. Her breakfast is top-notch. (We're talking a 2-course breakfast with all the tea, coffee, and fresh juice you can drink). She was charming and helpful in helping us find local attractions. You can walk down to the beach, restaurants, and the Naragansett Wall. I've never slept on such luxurious sheets in my life!
Risposta del proprietario
I'm so glad this guest enjoyed their stay! Many of our guests are remarking on our new Comphy microfiber sheets. Strong and silky, they are becoming one of our most popular amenities and gift shop items. Feel free to contact me if you would like to order a set for your own room and (of course) your guest room.

We stayed for 2 nights on a Living Social romantic getaway weekend. Fantastic location blocks from "The Pier" and beach. Seely took great care of us. The "sweetie" package was a nice enhancement. Cozy building with a real feeling of history. We'll be back soon!

The room was cozy and the bed comfortable, it's right down the street from the beach, and Seely was an absolutely wonderful host -- her breakfasts were incredible and she quick to offer advice and directions for local goings-on. I look forward to our next stay.

We really did enjoy our stay at the Inn. The owners try very hard to please everyone with there needs. Some work does need to be done on the outside of the INN-- painting, a good cleaning on the Front Porch- make it more home like when you are entering the INN. Needs TLC. One Major item-- it the lights are left on hall all day and night -- each room has a stain glass window at the top of the door way-- the light from the Hall Way Shines in all night -- Making it very hard to sleep.. If they are going to keep these staing glass windows -- which are pretty then then need to lower lights at night -- so people can sleep with out having this bright light shine in.--- I did speak with few other people who were there when we were and they mentioned the same thing. It might be good idea to put in light dimmers.
Risposta del proprietario
I want to thank this reviewer for mentioning the issues. Who knows how many guests have been bothered by the stained glass transoms but this is the first one to mention it. Had I known I would have provided a light blocker for their room. (We took them down for a photo shoot last month and I forgot to put them back up.) We have scheduled a power washer to help with the front porch issues.

The private apartment was better than expected and I had a great stay. The apartment is set up for people with pets and it was superb for this purpose. My wife and dogs will be back sometime after 15 Sep...so we can get the dogs on the beach only 6 blocks away.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Blueberry Cove Inn this summer. Nice room choices, excellent breakfasts, best mattress I've ever slept on (!), hosts are friendly and were excited to share their knowledge of the area with us. Recommended great restaurants. Can't wait to go back!

We enjoyed our stay very much. They have an assortment of comfortable places to sit outside and read. The house is homey and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and unique but, if you are looking for strong coffee, you will need to walk down the street to the espresso shop. The hosts are very nice and they even offered to let us park for the day after we checked out.

Two Jeff Davis Parish School employees are on administrative leave with pay after a complaint was filed with the Sheriff's Office.
Officials were contacted by the School Board to look into a complaint about inappropriate contact between school employees and students.
Officials would only say it was an incident which occurred during summer break and was off school grounds.
Authorities are still questioning people and no arrests have been made.

On an average day in 1998, statistician David Fairley was walking up a busy San Francisco street to pick up his son from preschool. Traffic was heavy, and halfway to the school, he started to feel weak and dazed.
"Actually, a homeless guy saw me and helped me to the school," Fairley said.
"[People at the school] had me lie down for a bit."
Fairley felt better after a rest, but the school administrators insisted he go to the hospital. On the way there, he had a heart attack.
Years earlier, as a newcomer to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, Fairley had been asked to vet new research that correlated exposure to particulate matter and increased mortality rates — particularly deaths related to cardiovascular and respiratory incidents. At the time, all of the available science had been conducted by one researcher in London. "I thought, the Bay Area isn't like London at all; it's much colder and wetter there, and people there might already have respiratory issues," Fairley said. "And honestly I set out thinking, I'm gonna prove this guy is wrong." Fairley repeated the study in California's Santa Clara County and, to his amazement, his results were almost exactly the same as the London researcher's. Since that time, several other studies have replicated Fairley's results, including a long-term American Cancer Society study. There is now conclusive evidence that correlates particulate matter levels and daily mortality rates. Shortly after his heart attack, Fairley also uncovered studies that linked exposure to ultrafine particulate matter—the sort you get next to a busy street with a lot of traffic—and a coronary episode within one to two hours.
"Even though there were, of course, other factors, I believe walking up that street might well have contributed [to my heart attack]," he said. "Ultrafine particles are so small that they're fairly unstable. They don't stick around. They agglomerate into bigger particles or else diffuse out. If you look at the gradient from roads, concentrations of ultrafine particles are really a lot higher on a busy street. So it really could make a difference to move one or two streets over."
Nonetheless, Fairley continued to walk the same busy route between his home, work, and his kid's school for years. "It finally dawned on me after several years that I really should shift my route to less busy streets, so I did," he said.
Did you catch that?
Even as an expert in particulate matter who had experienced its impact first-hand, it took Fairley years to adjust his routine according to the information he had. That is a fundamental issue when it comes to myriad decisions affecting both health and the environment in cities around the world. It's not necessarily enough to have all the information we need to make good choices; rather, we need to have the right information in the precise moment in which we are making a decision.
Wearables—wristbands, watches, clothing, or in some cases, pollution masks with built-in wireless sensors—may be part of the solution. Capable of unobtrusively collecting all sorts of data on the street, comparing them with historical data from government, academic, and other sources, and pushing information to the user at relevant times, this new generation of gadgets promises to provide more current, actionable information than laptops or even smart phones.

Existing wearables, ranging from the FitBit (a sleeker version of a pedometer) to the Pebble watch to Google glass headsets to the forthcoming iWatch, largely fall into two camps: Those that provide information (Google glass, "smart" watches), and those that collect information (FitBit, the now-discontinued Nike Fuel Band). The next generation of wearables aims to combine those two functions, collecting personal data and then analyzing it against various other data sets to provide customized information and context-based suggestions.
So in the pollution case, for example, a wristband could vibrate or flash red and let the wearer know that he's walking through an area with a high concentration of ultrafine particulates and suggest a different route. That could provide not only individual health benefits but also a growing awareness among the public of the link between pollution and health. Increasingly, wearable companies are also working to provide data to academic researchers and governments. For example, the same wearable device could feasibly indicate both a person's pollution exposure and his various potentially related health effects, which could go a long way toward helping air pollution management districts set limits and create meaningful policies. Privacy concerns have largely impeded the flow of data to government agencies, and for good reason, but government officials and developers are working toward a privacy-protected system in which anonymous data could be shared with the government to mutual benefit. More on that later.
Jonathan Lansey is a data engineer at wearable tech company Quanttus, which is working on a souped-up wristwatch that measures and analyzes its wearer's vital signs—heart rate, blood pressure, temperature—in response to everything from exercise and sleep to air pollution and weather. In keeping with many of the newer entrants to the wearables space, the company is also actively pursuing relationships with academic institutions, to which it plans to supply aggregate data. So far, efforts to supply data to government agencies haven't amounted to much due to a combination of bureaucratic inefficiencies, privacy concerns, and mismatched data systems. Instead, Lansey said Quanttus' plan is to get its user data to academics who can use it to help inform the peer-reviewed studies government agencies are referencing when crafting policy.
"I think that's going to be a large branch of our contribution; we're building a business here, but there's an altruistic component, too," said Steve Jungmann, vice president of product management for Quanttus. In addition to providing data, the company is also allocating devices for use in various studies. "We're across the street from MIT, so we get to talk to people there with some fantastic ideas around biometric monitoring as attached to x, whether it be air quality, emotions, the ability to perform under pressure, any number of things," he said.
Talking Trees
Most "smart city" technology aims to eliminate humans from the equation, to design around human error. Wearable designers have almost the opposite aim: to arm humans with the right information at the right time, integrating them into the network of a smart city and making them part of the solution. Getting citizens to better understand the dangers of air pollution and to adjust their lives accordingly is just one example.
Frog Design Group, Frog, a global product strategy and design firm headquartered in San Francisco, was an early entrant to the wearables space, designing prototypes for Motorola back in 2002. In 2012, the design firm set a team of designers across its various international offices the task of coming up with eight different concepts for the wearables of the future, compiled in the brief "Wearable Technology and the Connected City." About half were technologies that would deliver an environmental benefit. One—a face mask equipped with sensors that measure air pollution, designed by the Shanghai office—may be on the market soon; the rest are still just concepts, but they have helped to spark conversations with both product companies and government agencies about what's possible when you combine civic aims with wearable technology.

Lee Campbell 'Beyond Pollock', International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital Media
Following 'Heckler. Politeness, Performance and Participation' in Performativity in the Gallery : Staging Interactive Encounters
edited by Outi Remes, Laura MacCulloch and Marika Leino, published by Peter Lang, I am very pleased to announce my
second published text this year'Beyond Pollock' in the current issue (Volume 10, Issue 1) of International Journal Performance Arts
and Digital Media.
The article is currently available at for registered users
If you are not a registered user, I have a free pass for the first fifty readers so do contact me if you would like access.
The hard copy version of the journal will be out shortly.
This article focuses on the relationship between performance documents and visual art objects in response to a philosophical position
concerning documentation forms held by Philip Auslander. By addressing visual art forms over what may be argued as modern technological
approaches to documenting performance – digital video-recording and still photography – this article reports on a selection of practice-based
research projects within the canon of Performance Art that use non-traditional forms of performance documentation to propose that bringing
together visual art and performance-related discourses is helpful in articulating the document. Rather than focusing on a discussion concerning
a politics of form connected to the document in terms of representation and ideas surrounding 'truth' (i.e. how different forms of document may
be hierarchically placed in their attempt to represent an action that is now absent), the article concentrates on the act of producing documentation
as a process that is both liminal and embodied. Addressing and then departing from earlier research by the author that prioritizes different levels
of witness via the document, the main research projects address first-hand witness to gain a better understanding of how the act of documentation
can be viewed as a performative process and an opportunity for social communication. Whereas the discourse connecting visual art objects with
philosophies regarding the performance document remains under-explored, the article can be read as a benchmark for critical engagement
in its attempt to combine performance and visual art-related concerns into two idiosyncratic but not highly disparate forms of creative practice.

Performance, participation and politeness : using Performance Art as a tool to explore the liminal space between art and theatre and its capacity for confrontation' in Remes, Outi, MacCulloch, Laura and Leino, Marika (eds.), Performativity in the Gallery: Staging Interactive Encounters (Oxford: Peter Lang Ltd., 2013).

Artists Lee Campbell and Mel Jordan explored the potential of the heckler as a speaker that can offer a revised understanding of social exchanges within contemporary debates on participation, linguistics, ethics and communication, by arguing that the heckler, a person who disrupts performances, speeches and public addresses should be considered as a metaphorical figurehead of impoliteness.
In a bid to further how we may vocabularise the heckler, Campbell is currently engaged in a practice-based Ph.D at Loughborough University School of the Arts, which argues for the heckler to be discussed beyond the parameters of comedy, politics and public speech. By reconstituting the heckler through the language of contemporary art practice, he advocates that the heckler's act of interruption is an exciting, transgressive and subversive platform in which to interrogate the arena of performance-based artwork.

The aim of the conference was is to provide an interdisciplinary platform for discussion over linguistic and nonlinguistic impolite behaviour across languages and cultures. The focus of the conference will be pragmatic and sociolinguistic aspects of impolite behaviour analysed both in terms of verbal and nonverbal communication, however we also welcomed presentations across a wide variety of topics stemming from neighbouring fields of research, such as social studies, political studies, psychology, intercultural communication, media studies, etc.
- disagreement
- rudeness
- ignorance
- aggravation
- offence
- verbal aggression
- sarcasm
- mock politeness
- humour and impoliteness
- using taboo words
- swearing and expletives, etc.

'Performance: a paradigm shift?'
Music, theatre, literature, film, painting, sculpture – what these and other cultural phenomena have in common is the capacity to simultaneously exist as an object (fixed, a record) and an experience (time-specific and body-specific). 'Performance' can be seen as the negotiation of these ontologies. The idea that 'texts' have fixed or stable 'meanings' has been effectively challenged in the last century by an increasing privileging of the receiving context. But this move has traditionally been discussed in terms of singular, stable, unitary readers and viewers, and individual acts of reception. Performance as a hermeneutic approach repositions the intelligibility of works of art as a function of their multiple and mixed audiences, or the implicitly public nature of their messaging, however privately created and consumed. In the case of re-perfomance, the recognisable work (or 'classic') can be seen less as a 'text' which travels through time than as a space of opportunity for engagement with a present, i.e. as enacting a live meeting point for audiences: implied and embodied, individual and multiple, past and present.
The conference proposes performance as a useful conceptual tool for grasping what different acts of cultural communication have in common. It asks how what is going on the modern art gallery, for example, is related to what is going on in literary studies, or music, and how they may be responding to similar environmental prompts…performance invites us to ask not what things are, but how we know and think about them - and how 'we' are already part of their gesture. It is a paradigm shift which derives from and reinforces the need to challenge existing definitions and boundaries. By discussing these and other issues from the perspective of the both the present and the past, the conference will take advantage of other periods and cultures in which concepts of art, theatre, dance, music, literature and the public may be completely different from our modern (post-1880s) categories and the logocentric distinctions and values they enshrine.
Lee Campbell and Claire Carter:
BAD DOCUMENT: The document as antagonist.
As a 30 minute conversation, we will take the figure of the heckler as a person who undoes comfortable differentiations between polite/rude, social/antisocial, speaker/listener, performer/spectator etc and reflect upon a recent collaborative performance-based arts project, in which we set up an artistic situation which interrogated the live performance, performance document as witness, and the characteristics of a heckler.
During our conversation, we will refer to the document as heckler and will address how our use of a contract and a factual analysis operated as performative documents. Through an understanding of the performative as related to 'action' in response to John Langham Austin's ideas surrounding the speech act, we will describe how the actions between us generated moments of confrontation throughout the project. Our contract set out conditions to be performed and was seen by both of us as having a multi-function; as legal agreement, artwork, and performative document. Claire ultimately referred to our contract as a heckle as the reality of using the contract as a working performative document had a difficult yet exciting and challenging antagonistic quality. Similarly, the factual analyses which we wrote to state our own versions of the project's events also generated problems.

"– quite apart from making us laugh – it [humour] has been employed to activate repressed impulses, embody alienation or displacement, disrupt convention, and to explore power relations in terms of gender, sexuality, class, taste or racial and cultural identities." - Jennifer Higgie -
De Appel Curatorial Programme 2011-2012 preseneted Three Artists Walk into a Bar..., a series of works and interventions that took place outside of the premises of the exhibition space, channelled through discussion, dialogue, and public gatherings at the Appel Boys' School and on the website of the project, www.threeartistswalkintoabar.com. Using the quality of humour to test the potential of art as a critical instrument for the analysis of social, political and cultural issues, this project aimed to build a community of peers, professionals and a variety of publics. The commitment to humour, stemmed from a belief in its social quality; in its capacity to bring subversive voices and unexpected perspectives to mainstream awareness.

TEAMS: Houston Astros, Boston Red Sox
Jed Lowrie and the Houston Astros have avoided an arbitration hearing, agreeing to a $1.15 million, one-year contract. The team announced the deal Wednesday. Lowrie asked for $1.5 million in arbitration, while the Astros offered $900,000. His hearing had been scheduled for Friday. The 27-year-old shortstop was acquired from Boston on Dec. 14 along with right-hander Kyle Weiland in exchange for reliever Mark Melancon. Lowrie, a switch-hitter who was eligible for arbitration for the first time, batted .252 with six homers and 36 RBIs in 88 games for the Red Sox last season. He played every infield position and made $450,000. He is expected to become Houston's starting shortstop this year. The Astros do not have any players remaining in arbitration. Lowrie can earn an additional $75,000 in performance bonuses: $25,000 each for 341, 502 and 550 plate appearances. He had 341 plate appearances last year.
