[20] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-dom/2009JanMar/ 0004.html DS: Travis from Microsoft used to join ... but we don't have to wait for him to start the meeting AB: Charles created this agenda; mostly Actions, Issues and Pub plans ... any change requests? [ None ] confirm last week's minutes AB: any objections to confirming last week's minutes? ... <[21]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-dom/2009JanMar/att-0003 /D3E-webapps-090303.html> [21] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-dom/2009JanMar/ att-0003/D3E-webapps-090303.html%3E [ No Objections ] Action item review - Due this week AB: All of the D3E Issues and Actions are available at: ... [22]http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/products/2 ... I noticed 5-6 of the issues are in the RAISED state ... Briefly, what process is used to move an Issue from Raised to Open? ... Just curious (we don't use RAISED state in Widgets) [22] http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/products/2 DS: raised means the issue is recorded ... it is changed to Open when the group agrees to take it on ... then we issue Actions against the Open Issue <scribe> ... Pending Review means the issue is still open and pending the actions related to it are closed ACTION-1 - Find All Open Issues For DOM3 Events and Update the Specification - schepers AB: [23]http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/actions/1 [23] http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/actions/1 DS: that was recorded a long time ago to test Tracker ... I should close just close it ... I will change the Due Date to the 18th ... I haven't uploaded my changes yet AB: I noticed the latest ED was quite old DS: yes; I'm still getting back to it ... I will check in a new version before the next call (Mar 18) ACTION 312 - Propose langauge to resolve ISSUE-44 - schepers AB: [24]http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/actions/312 [24] http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/actions/312 DS: I have some wording in my draft ... I'll complete this action when I make my upload next week ... I will define a default action for the load event OP: default action? DS: no, sorry, I meant default behavior ... and let the individual specs override how the load event works ... i.e. how it is dispatched ... and what its target is OP: yes, I think you are correct about the target DS: we may have to talk more about the Window ... I'll have to redo the chart to include Window OP: Window is the parent node above the document DS: so bubble goes up to window? OP: yes ... check the mail around ISSUE #44 ... it is dispatched to Window but its target is Document DS: need to be careful about HTML specific behavior ... don't want SVG and HTML doing diff things <smaug> all the other events except load propagates from document to window <shepazu> ACTION: shepazu to coordinate with SVG WG about 'window', to add behavior like HTML's [recorded in [25]http://www.w3.org/2009/03/11-webapps-minutes.html#action01] <trackbot> Created ACTION-323 - Coordinate with SVG WG about 'window', to add behavior like HTML's [on Doug Schepers - due 2009-03-18]. DS: if we put this in D3E it would get folded into SVG OP: we can talk about default view and not Window <shepazu> where window == defaultView ACTION 318 - Research what SVG does for load - schepers AB: [26]http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/actions/318 [26] http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/actions/318 DS: this is related to our previous discussion AB: so what do we do with this then? DS: leave it open ACTION 319 - Publish your findings about mutation event implementation - Olli <smaug> [27]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-dom/2009JanMar/0007.html [27] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-dom/2009JanMar/ 0007.html AB: [28]http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/actions/319 [28] http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/actions/319 OP: I sent some emails to the list today <shepazu> [29]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-dom/2009JanMar/0007.html [29] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-dom/2009JanMar/ 0007.html OP: no one supports everything ... Whenever mutation listeners are used, the relevant DOM operations slowdown a lot in all browser engines ... I've been talking to the ARIA people <smaug> "chaals> roughly, we don't see that changing them is a great idea. We implemented them ages ago, and while they imply a performance hit, they do something that seems useful" AB: how do we reflect Chaals' comments? DS: one way is mutation events as defined in DOM2 ... i.e. keep them as they exist ... could find intersection of the browser and throw away others ... could define new model ... would like to have a more performant model ... and define a mapping from the new model to the existing definition ... and deprecate those that aren't implemented by all of the browsers OP: Jonas made a proposal last summer AB: do you have a pointer to that proposal? <smaug> [30]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2008JulSep/01 46.html [30] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/ 2008JulSep/0146.html <shepazu> [31]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2008JulSep/01 74.html [31] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/ 2008JulSep/0174.html AB: so only 3 of the 7 mutation events are implemented by these three browsers? OP: yes, that's the case ... the slow down is amazing; used a deep tree DS: the slowdown is actually a big usability issue particularly in accessibility use cases ... because there may not be an indication it is occuring ... may need a dedicated ARIA event OP: yes; and some web apps may decide not use these events if for example it was doing some location stuff <smaug> [32]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-dom/2009JanMar/0010.html [32] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-dom/2009JanMar/ 0010.html <smaug> OP: yes; and some web apps may decide not use these events because it would slow down performance also for people who don't use a11y stuff OP: the email from Boris indicates the .style change also cause slowdowns AB: I think Olli completed this action right? OP: yes I've already closed ACTION 320 - Talk to people at Opera about mutation events - chaals AB: [33]http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/actions/320 ... should we skip this today? [33] http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/actions/320 ISSUE-44 (related to actions 312 and 318 above) AB: Issue is: What should D3E say about the window object and where events are fired... ... [34]http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/issues/4 [34] http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/issues/4 DS: we've already talked about this AB: this in the RAISED state; is that OK? DS: yes AB: anything else on Issue #44? [ No ] ISSUE-39 (related to action 320 above) AB: issue is: Consider changing ordering/firing of mutation events? ... [35]http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/issues/39 ... any discussion on this issue? [35] http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/issues/39 DS: there are no related actions ... Olli, what are your thoughts? OP: I'd like to get comments from Opera ... I think Jonas wants to change it ... anyone else? DS: I think Maciej OP: it's bad for implementations but OK for content authors DS: but if perf is bad then that's bad for the authors too OP: not clear when the events should be fired AB: since Opera hasn't addressed Action #320, seems like we should defer discussion until next week DS: agree OP: back to mutation events; chaper 1.7.7 ... ... the grey/gray block text ... why was that added? ... [36]http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2006/webapi/DOM-Level-3-Even ts/html/DOM3-Events.html?rev=1.20&content-type=text/html;%20charset= iso-8859-1#events-Events-eventgroupings-mutationevents [36] http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2006/webapi/DOM- Level-3-Events/html/DOM3-Events.html?rev=1.20&content-type=text/html;% 20charset=iso-8859-1#events-Events-eventgroupings-mutationevents DS: this was added for performance reasons ... in SVG, create element is used to make trees in the DOM but not in the document ... mutation events aren't fired for things that are not in the document OP: I don't understand why <shepazu> I propose that we state explicitly in the spec that if there is no event listener registered, and if the event does not have a default handler, then the implementation may choose not to fire an event for that action (which is what browsers do) AB: any comments on Doug's proposal? OP: browsers do that for mutuation events ... other events don't slow things down as much Publication schedule AB: the question is: Are we still expecting to have a new Editor's draft on 2009-03-18? DS: yes, that is still the plan ... don't expect it to be ready to publish by then ... This is Action #321 [37]http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/actions/321 [37] http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/actions/321 AB: keep it open? DS: yes AB: so that would be another WD, right? DS: yes AB: any discussion on the LCWD? DS: no we haven't discussed that yet; one step at a time OP: events are hard; must get it right and they are core to so many other specs Other overdue action items?

|Brief description
CiteULike is based on the principle of social bookmarking and is aimed to promote and to develop the sharing of scientific references amongst researchers. In the same way that it is possible to catalog web pages (with Furl and del.icio.us) or photographs (with Flickr), scientists can share information on academic papers with specific tools (like CiteULike) developed for that purpose. The website is sponsored by the publisher Springer Science+Business Media. Richard Cameron developed CiteULike in November 2004 and in 2006 Oversity Ltd. was established to develop and support CiteULike. When browsing issues of research journals, small scripts stored in bookmarks (bookmarklets) allow one to import articles from repositories like PubMed, and CiteULike supports many more. Then the system attempts to determine the article metadata (title, authors, journal name, etc.) automatically. Users can organize their libraries with freely chosen tags and this produces a folksonomy of academic interests.

This project will build and deploy a demonstration system linking publications held in two institutional repositories (Southampton University and the CCLRC) with data holdings in the British Atmospheric Data Centre. As well as the demonstration system, a workshop disseminating information about the project will be held for the environmental science community, and four significant reports will be produced: User Experience of the CLADDIER System (written by active environmental scientists based on their experiences); Identifier Migration Issues for Repositories; Recommendations for data/publication linkage (based on lessons learned, and a review of the literature); Methodologies and Practices for Data Publication. The CLADDIER system will be a step on the road to a situation where (in this case, environmental) scientists will to be able to move seamlessly from information discovery (location), through acquisition to deposition of new material, with all the digital objects correctly identified and cited. The lessons learned will be of applicability for the relationships between other discipline based repositories and institutional repositories. Project start date: 2005-06-01.

The CLIC (Community Led Image Collections) study reviewed the growth of community owned digital image collections, surveyed the socio-cultural, institutional and technical barriers owners face in image collection building, and made recommendations on how national initiatives could help in sharing and embedding the collections within the wider national FE and HE sectors. The Study comprised of: Overview of current community image collections; Selection of community image collections to use as case studies; Survey of owners and users of community led image collections; Evaluation of the positioning of community collections relative to national and commercial alternatives; Recommendation of technical implementation infrastructure.

The Content Lifecycle Integration Framework (CLIF) project will examine the management of the lifecycle of digital content from creation through to disposal or preservation across system boundaries. It will carry out this examination through the integration of the Fedora digital repository system with two other systems used within the HE sector in the UK and abroad, Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server (MOSS) and Sakai, to enable the movement of content between them at specific points in its lifecycle, in accordance with identified use case requirements: a preliminary investigation of integration between MOSS and Sakai will also be undertaken. All three systems are used to manage digital content, and each addresses different overlapping parts of the content lifecycle. Integration will use a loosely coupled, open standards-based approach to maximise re-use outside the project. CLIF will include a research strand, investigating the content lifecycle and how systems can best support this, and a technical development strand to carry out the integration work informed by the research.

There is an important and growing need for reliable climatic data, especially from the oceanic regions, to enable a more comprenhesive understanding of current issues in the global warming debate. This project seeks to identify sources of old, previously overlooked, marine materological data from colonial (especially lighthouse) records and from the logbooks of Royal Navy vessels through from the eighteenth century and, thereby, to lend a longer-term perspective to more recent climatic variations. The original documents will be imaged for record and preservation purposes. The data will then be abstracted, quality-controlled and made available for scientific studies through a number of internationally-recognised websites fo climatic data. The images of the more historically valuable logbooks of famous voyages will be made freely available through partner websites for more general consultation. Project start date: 2008-10-01.

CPAN, the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network, is an archive of over 20,000 modules of software written in Perl, as well as documentation for it. It has a presence on the World Wide Web at www.cpan.org and is mirrored worldwide at more than 200 locations. CPAN can denote either the archive network itself, or the Perl program that acts as an interface to the network and as an automated software installer (somewhat like a package manager). Most software on CPAN is free and open source software. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: CPAN)Percentage of Ariadne articles tagged with this term: [term_node_prcnt_1]%.
The Contextual Resource Evaluation Environment (CREE) was a project arising from the Joint Information Systems Committee, Portals: Investigations into User Requirements & Sustainability invitation to tender. This seeks to build an environment where the portal developments within JISC can be tested within a variety of situations and establish how users interact with portals. This will help to inform the delivery of portals as services within the JISC Information Environment.

This proposal is to support management and business professionals in university departments and related organisations who are the essential links between research and commerce, i.e. they are engaged in managing the process of Knowledge exchange. These groups develop best practice in management and liaise with other stakeholders such as the Regional Development Agencies. CRIB focuses on their requirements, and demonstrates how a Virtual Research Environment can be extended to include management research and practice with tools enabling more effective collaboration, sharing of information and accelerating their progress through the research lifecycle. Our key challenge is to provide a Web-based VRE platform using existing tools to enhance collaboration. This platform will support the opportunity for staff in business and management schools to change their relationships both with each other and with the groups they support. The project has chosen Sakai as it is already familiar to users at the partner institutions and the project partners already have experience of enhancing the current tools in Sakai. Examples of this enhancement include further development and integration of tools such as the Sakai Profile-2 tool and BRII. Other tools are required to help change the relationships staff have with on-line scholarly information, such as the use of the CREE cross search tool, and to enhance the use of such information as a fundamental part of the Knowledge Exchange agenda.

Key parts will be the construction and use of semi-immersive stereoscopic facilities to create an increased level of 'presence' within the Access Grid environment and the recording of the performance, in the same format, within a framework playable by a larger community base as and when required. The project will have the following objectives: - The first key part building a portable hardware and software extension to the Access Grid for full-sized stereo viewing; - And a second part to construct a lightweight framework for storing and editing the performances; - Best practice for use and full guidelines on self-build construction will be available online as well as full dissemination through workshops and practice. Key parts will be the construction and use of semi-immersive stereoscopic facilities to create an increased level of 'presence' within the Access Grid environment and the recording of the performance, in the same format, within a framework playable by a larger community base as and when required. The project will have two main objectives; the first part building a portable hardware and software extension to the Access Grid for full-sized stereo viewing, and a second part to construct a lightweight framework for storing and editing the performances.

University of Cambridge will build on work at MIT on the PLEDGE project to enhance the integration of CamTools and DSpace@Cambridge and deploy that integration to the campus. The University of Highlands and Islands will deploy the same integration components in the TETRA Framework with Fedora. The project will follow two cycles of develop, deploy and evaluate to assess the impact and provide a step change in use of the Institutional Repositories at both institutions. The outputs of the project will be of use and interest to the TETRA Collaboration and the wider JISC community. Aims and Objectives: Employ support staff to communicate, educate and support adopters; Develop policy expression for collections and policy enforcement in online workspaces for Individuals, research groups and courses and integrate into natural workflows; Integrate CamTools with DSpace@Cambridge such that; the policies of the IR are understood by CamTools and deposited material is managed by an ingest Workflow; In parallel extend the implementation to work with Fedora@UHI7; Integrate a 3rd party Activity based Workflow Management system with DSpace; Implement improved ingest Workflow and reviewed policies; Evaluate impact of improved ingest workflow with a view to continuing improvement by measurement after the end of the project.

Core middleware services such as identity management, directory, and authentication provide a foundation for secure, manageable applications throughout an institution/federation. However, with most institutional community collaborations, user confidentiality is a concern which presents a real problem to Virtual Organisations (VO's). Members could belong to more than one real organisation; such as Foundation Degree students within the HE-FE environment, who would move in and out of the federated structure. Wishing to share resources across these HE-FE institutional boundaries often raises problematic security difficulties as VO membership may be more (or indeed less formal) in a HE-FE environment. Cardiff Universityand Kidderminster College have been very active over the past three years in Shibboleth development and research. Project start date: 2007-04-01. Project end date: 2009-03-31.

This project will develop a digital preservation assessment tool for use within the UK HE/FE and research, learning and teaching communities. The proposal will provide those responsible for managing digital resources in a variety of institutional settings, including libraries, archives, data centres, computer services and research teams, with a valuable tool for identifying the preservation needs of their digital holdings. It will do so in a way which allows scarce resources to be focussed on those assets where the risk of loss and cost of loss is greatest. This project brings together extensive expertise in digital preservation from the Arts and Humanities Data Service (AHDS) and the University of London Computer Centre (ULCC). Development input will also come from the National Preservation Office, the British Library and The National Archives. Evaluation of the tool in real-world settings will take place in TNA, the BL, and two identified academic institutions (KCL and The School of Advanced Study, University of London.) Dissemination will utilise the wide reach of the consortium's partners and will aid a second, wider test phase. It will also encourage deployment of the tool beyond the JISC community, contributing to the sustainability of the project's outputs. Project start date: 2004-10-04. Project end date: 2005-06-01.

The DAEDALUS Project has established a number of different services for research material at the University of Glasgow. It explored an institutional repository model which uses different software [ePrints, DSpace and PKP Harvester] for different content, including: published and peer reviewed papers; pre-prints, grey literature and theses. The project has also developed an open access e-Journal [JeLit] and a subject based repository for erpanet: ERPAePRINTS.

data curation for e-science
The DTI and the Research Councils are committing £118M to a government-industry programme on e-Science. The reason for this investment is that GRID technology is seen as the natural successor to the world wide web and the UK wants to take a leading role in order to develop solutions for its scientists and developing opportunities for its industry. The world wide web has revolutionised the way companies do business and fundamentally altered people's personal lives but it can no longer cope with the demands being placed on it by science. The world wide web allows very easy access to information, Grid allows that same easy access to computing power, data processing and communication of the results. The opportunities are immense, it will allow the efficient manipulation of vast amounts of information such as that contained in the human genome or the results from experiments in CERN's new Large Hadron Collider. It will also allow the ability to mine data again and again by comparing existing data sets collected for one purpose with new and previously unrelated information, so generating new knowledge. This consultancy will establish the current provision and future requirements for curation of primary research data being generated within e-science in the UK. This will include the e-science core programme but is anticipated to extend beyond this to other e-science research and primary research data. A consultancy report will provide a synthesis of findings and make recommendations for future action. The consultancy will support aims to manage JISC involvement in e-Science and the Research Grid, and to work in partnership to support the research community through activities such as its digital preservation programme.

data train project
The DataTrain project aims to build on findings and tools developed in the Incremental project (JISC 07/09 funding strand) by developing disciplinary focussed data management training modules for post-graduate courses in Archaeology and Social Anthropology at the University of Cambridge. To this end, the project will develop training modules for each of the two departments, and pilot these as part of the departments' postgraduate training provision in Spring of 2011. Beyond this, the modules would be embedded within research methods courses in each department. To extend its impact, the project would also make the training resources available through the University of Cambridge's institutional repository's support provision and via the Archaeology Data Service (ADS) and Digital Curation Centre (DCC).

data.gov.uk is a UK Government project to open up almost all non-personal data acquired for official purposes for free re-use. Sir Tim Berners-Lee and Professor Nigel Shadbolt are the two key figures behind the project. The beta version of data.gov.uk has been online since the 30 September 2009 and by January 2010 more than 2,400 developers had registered to test the site, provide feedback and start experimenting with the data. When the project was officially launched in January 2010 it contained 2,500 data sets and developers had already built a site that showed the location of schools according to the rating assigned to them by education watchdog Ofsted.

DataShare, led by Edina, arises from an existing UK consortium of data support professionals working in departments and academic libraries in universities (Data Information Specialists Committee-UK), and builds on an international network with a tradition of data sharing and data archiving dating back to the 1960s in the social sciences. By working together across four universities and internally with colleagues already engaged in managing open access repositories for e-prints, this partnership will introduce and test a new model of data sharing and archiving to UK research institutions. By supporting academics within the four partner institutions who wish to share datasets on which written research outputs are based, this network of institution-based data repositories develops a niche model for deposit of 'orphaned datasets' currently filled neither by centralised subject-domain data archives/centres/grids nor by e-print based institutional repositories (IRs). The project's overall aim is to contribute to new models, workflows and tools for academic data sharing within a complex and dynamic information environment which includes increased emphasis on stewardship of institutional knowledge assets of all types; new technologies for doing e-Research; new research council policies and mandates; and the growth of the Open Access / Open Data movement.

Lol. Yea thats right. A Season 2 was made. And yes, I am going to watch it.
Since we all know we watch a show of this amazing caliber for the plot right?
But I gotta admit....it seems the whole scenario has totally changed. Not to mention Sasha now competing for 1st place in the best looking trap ever award.
If you havent seen the first season....and you are a casual anime viewer....who doesnt really like ecchi.....then dont bother with this show.
But here is the first seasons synopsis:
The story chronicles the school lives of Mafuyu Oribe and Tomo Yamanobe at the Japanese Eastern Orthodox school St. Mihailov Academy where they have endured persecution and ostracization from the other students led by the daughter of the current dean Miyuri Tsujidou and her second-in-command Hana Katsuragi. Mafuyu and Tomo's lives take a drastic turn when they nurse the silver-haired Russian-born Aleksander "Sasha" Nikolaevich Hell back to health upon encountering him unconscious during their home commute one day. Almost immediately, Sasha begins to repay Mafuyu and Tomo's humanitarianism as he repels their tormentors; unfortunately, this does not change Sasha's prologue as a throw-away Qwaser from the Adepts and that the Adepts have no qualms about making an absolute war zone of the Academy in order to acquire the Theotokos of Tsarytsin from Athos who wishes to keep the icon's existence a secret from the world.
Anyways, you know the drill. Talk about the anime, its episodes, or anything in general.
But seriously though....Im liking the new match ups
Here are my 2 mots. Also, one of the pictures in the Spoiler for this episode shows a new match up....which pretty much sealed the deal for me to watch this simply for that
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
But seriously though, I am totally ready to LOL my ass off at just how ridiculous this is going to be.
But it also sucks due to it being censored hardcore....but hopefully it does the same thing it did with the first season and come out witht eh uncensored version liek a week later
In an instant we echo, and our hearts meet, IMPACT CROSS!
Sasha looks older and taller(even taller than Hana, I know that in the last episode of season 1 you get of glimpse of sasha cross dressing( at the time i thought " was he really a girl that dress like a boy then later decided to dress like a girl when he/she is girl or is he really a boy......." in other words i was confused )
I enjoyed watching the first season but it seems like this time instead of 24 episodes(like in the first season) it will only have 13 episodes(according to the info on ANN website) unless they later decide to go for 24 episodes.
LOL Best Trap Ever Award
Sasha vs Hideyoshi (Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu) vs Mariya (Maria+Holic: Alive)
who will win
SCHOOL DAYS HQ ENGLISH (SUB) VERSION - 77% of the Game Completed
I downloaded the 1st 16 episode uncut on limewire. But that doesn't exist anymore. I still need to see the rest of season 1 before I watch s2. I just don't want to compromise and watch it edited.
i am sorry but it's bad for my opinion season 1
I'm really waiting when will sasha and mafuyu meet? i wonder how will they react with each other?? i mean they are separated now because mafuyu is training to become maria and sasha is finding the important part of the story..
what the hell?? what am i saying?!!
anyways, i definitely watching this every week..
my profile is not updated
Watched season 1. Gonna drop season 2 unless the characters from season 1 make an appearance soon

a 24 ep anime introducing new characters and showing old ones in the beginning. bro give it some time, it will most likely happen but not by ep two or even four. give it some time, also if you wanted to know there is uncensored web broadcast "with subs" that comes out a week later after the t.v. airing so i would go with the web rip, even though it's low quality it beats solar flare beams and coloring in censorship.

Hi !
This one is close to the original (I'm pretty sure you'll recognize where it comes from…) but not too close : it is also an original composition. It is Rock Style with big crunchy guitars, heavy drums and screaming lead wha guitar !
This track is perfect for jingles & radio Ads or TV shows. it's also a good choice for web videos.
Hope you'll enjoy the track !!

By Dennis Dickson
About DennisDennis is a native of the Pacific Northwest, has lived in Arlington, WA, his entire life, except for two year while attending the University of Washington and another two years in Hawaii. Growing up near the North Fork of the Stilly, he has fly fished his entire life.
He graduated with a BS in the college of Fisheries and worked for the next eight years as a fisheries biologist, on the Stillaguamish system. Dennis left this field and began guiding fly fishers full time in the early 80's. After six years of guiding up to 200 days a year, Dennis hit burn out and went back to Fisheries working as a consultant. After two years Dennis realized he missed fishing too much and decided to branch out. He now spends half his time guiding in places like the Sauk, Stilly, Grande Ronde, south east Alaska for steelhead, and Bluewater flyfishing in Mexico. His other half of the year is interspersed with fisheries work, saving spawning streams, and building private lakes throughout the state.
He is married with three kids (two in college) and enjoys working in his community and church, (when he is in town). He likes people and loves fish. Watching anglers catch their first steelhead on a fly is a thrill that never goes away. You can reach Dennis by email at: email@example.com

The practice of metta when perfected and combined with insight into inconstancy is a path to awakening, as described in MN52 which was mentioned above:Rahula wrote: this talk by Dr.Peacock is about 'Metta as a path to awakening'
"The ending of the mental fermentations" means full awakening. "The total wasting away of the first five Fetters" means the state of non-return, which implies only one remaining rebirth in the Pure Abodes which will then yield full awakening. These descriptions can be seen in MN118MN52: Atthakanagara Sutta wrote: Then again, a monk keeps pervading the first direction[2] with an awareness imbued with good will, likewise the second, likewise the third, likewise the fourth. Thus above, below, & all around, everywhere, in its entirety, he keeps pervading the all-encompassing cosmos with an awareness imbued with good will — abundant, expansive, immeasurable, without hostility, without ill will. He reflects on this and discerns, 'This awareness-release through good will is fabricated & intended. Now whatever is fabricated & intended is inconstant & subject to cessation.' Staying right there, he reaches the ending of the mental fermentations. Or, if not, then — through this very Dhamma-passion, this Dhamma-delight, and from the total wasting away of the first five Fetters — he is due to be reborn [in the Pure Abodes], there to be totally unbound, never again to return from that world.
MN118: Anapanasati Sutta wrote: "In this community of monks there are monks who are arahants, whose mental effluents are ended, who have reached fulfillment, done the task, laid down the burden, attained the true goal, laid to waste the fetter of becoming, and who are released through right gnosis: such are the monks in this community of monks.
"In this community of monks there are monks who, with the wasting away of the five lower fetters, are due to be reborn [in the Pure Abodes], there to be totally unbound, destined never again to return from that world: such are the monks in this community of monks.

Troll Hunter (UK - BD RB)
Chris takes an early look at the Blu-ray release of the recent found footage film
Following the deaths of a couple of tourists and a spate of livestock mutilations in the mountains and forests of Norway, the government's official line is that rogue bears are responsible. But the local hunters don't agree and neither does a trio of college students who have been stalking an alleged poacher, Hans, with the intention of making a documentary film about him. Their persistence in pursuing Hans finally pays off when the filmmakers become victims of a night-time attack by something that is obviously much larger than a bear. In the aftermath, Hans agrees to an interview in which he reveals the truth regarding his occupation – he is actually a government employed troll hunter. Sceptical, the students volunteer to assist this unlikely hero in his work on the understanding that they will be allowed to document the proceedings and publicly reveal the heavily guarded secrets of a race of creatures thought only to exist in fairly tales. (Taken from the official synopsis.)
As with many of the recent 'found footage' movies, Troll Hunter was shot digitally, in this case with the Panasonic VariCam 3700. As you'd expect the digital look suits the film rather well, and the 1.78:1 (1080/24p AVC) encode is very attractive. The bright exterior shots feature a pleasant palette with strong, natural colour rendition that only serves to enhance the documentary feel of the piece. The image is also nicely detailed, with some particularly revealing close-ups. Things are slightly different in the darker scenes (of which there are many), where picture noise is considerably greater and blacks are often crushed. However, I think it's somewhat unfair to criticise the image for this, as it actually works in the film's favour. Elsewhere I saw a couple of jump cuts that looked to be intentional, but other than that there's not a lot to report. Digital artefacting isn't a major issue and as a digital transfer the image is pristine. It's a very strong presentation, if not quite up there with the best.
In a move that somewhat goes against the whole 'faux documentary' concept, the disc features a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack that sounds like it belongs in a much more expensive film. Things start off innocuously enough, with dialogue-driven scenes supported by subtle ambient effects like rainfall, but once the trolls arrive on the scene things kick up a notch. During the first major encounter the soundstage explodes into action, with the panicked cries of the film crew, their hurried footsteps, falling trees, and of course the the thunderous footsteps and roars of the enraged troll. The rest of the encounters follow suit, increasing in intensity as the numbers and size of the trolls become greater. The beasts themselves are accompanied by some potent LFE that really helps to sell them as dangerous creatures. As long as you can get over the fact that it's a full 5.1 track, rather than the sort of audio you'd expect from a hand-held camera, you should find much to enjoy here.
The Blu-ray includes a reasonable amount of supplemental material, but closer inspection reveals many of the features to be more lightweight than expected. First up are a bunch of deleted (03:35 HD) and extended (07:55 HD) scenes, followed by bloopers and improves (02:06 HD), visual effects (06:07 HD), a behind-the-scenes featurette (23:25 HD), photo galleries (06:12 HD), a theatrical trailer (01:12 SD) and an 'HDNet: A Look at Troll Hunter' featurette (04:21 HD). The meatiest and most rewarding feature is the behind-the-scenes piece, which includes plenty of on-set footage and interviews with the cast and crew. The deleted/extended scenes are too brief to really bring anything interesting to the mix and the rest of the extras are very short. Even so, there's still more here than on the majority of Blu-ray releases.
Troll Hunter is an enjoyable, engaging feature and one of the best examples of the 'found footage' genre I've seen in a while. It is both tense and funny with a strong cast whose matter-of-fact approach to the material really helps to sell the fantastical elements. I don't think there will be many people who will be disappointed by the disc in audio-visual terms, but I couldn't help feeling that the bonus material promised more than it delivered. Even so, it's still a great presentation that deserves a place in anyone's high-definition collection.

Maps of Climate and Energy Concepts
Strong approaches to teaching about climate and energy make connections between the Essential Principles of Climate Science and help integrate the fundamental concepts into an overarching scope and sequence for student learning. Further they build connections between other science content and these topics.
In order to help educators explore how CLEAN resources can be organized into a logical scope and sequence to learn about climate and energy, we present the CLEAN collection in a tool that visually connects CLEAN resources with the benchmark from the AAAS Project 2061 Benchmarks for Science Literacy. The tool illustrates the benchmark that a resource addresses, as well as related benchmarks - those that are considered pre-requisite knowledge and those that extend knowledge further. Clicking on any benchmark in this tool will provide information about resources in the CLEAN collection that addresses that benchmark.
The climate and energy maps are built with the National Science Digital Library Strand Map Service, which provides an online interface to the science literacy benchmarks from the AAAS Project 2061 Atlas for Science Literacy. These scope and sequence maps can be used by educators to explore the connections between different learning objectives, which in turn link to CLEAN selected resources.

The Climate and Energy Maps can help you understand what concepts form the foundation for any specific concept and what students need to fully understand it. In this example, the foundational concepts are shown below the benchmark that addresses how "the Earth's climate has changed in the past, is changing now, and is expected to change in the future." If your students' comprehension of the foundational concepts is weak or incomplete, attaining a deep and enduring understanding of the central concept will be difficult. The information in these maps can help you help your students attain this foundational understanding.
If you want to know how to build and move students' understanding of climate and energy concepts to more advanced levels, you can simply examine the maps above the central concept. This image shows the concepts for which the concept "the Earth's climate has changed in the past, is changing now, and is expected to change in the future" is foundational for more advanced climate literacy fundamental concepts.
Key Maps
Middle School (grades 6-8)
Scientific Inquiry-1b Scientific investigations usually involve the collection of relevant data, the use of logical reasoning, and the application of imagination in devising hypotheses and explanations to make sense of the collected data. (1B/M1b)
The Earth-9 Thermal energy carried by ocean currents has a strong influence on climates around the world. Areas near oceans tend to have more moderate temperatures than they would if they were farther inland but at the same latitude because water in the oceans can hold a large amount of thermal energy. (4B/M9)
Energy Transformations-6 Light and other electromagnetic waves can warm objects. How much an object's temperature increases depends on how intense the light striking its surface is, how long the light shines on the object, and how much of the light is absorbed. (4E/M6)
Interdependence of Life-1b The world contains a wide diversity of physical conditions, which creates a wide variety of environments: freshwater, marine, forest, desert, grassland, mountain, and others. In any particular environment, the growth and survival of organisms depend on the physical conditions. (5D/M1b)
Evolution of Life-2b Changes in environmental conditions can affect the survival of individual organisms and entire species. (5F/M2b)
Energy Sources and Use-5 Energy from the sun (and the wind and water energy derived from it) is available indefinitely. Because the transfer of energy from these resources is weak and variable, systems are needed to collect and concentrate the energy. (8C/M5)
Energy Sources and Use-10 Some resources are not renewable or renew very slowly. Fuels already accumulated in the earth, for instance, will become more difficult to obtain as the most readily available resources run out. How long the resources will last, however, is difficult to predict. The ultimate limit may be the prohibitive cost of obtaining them. (8C/M10)
High School (grades 9-12)
The Earth-2 Transfer of thermal energy between the atmosphere and the land or oceans produces temperature gradients in the atmosphere and the oceans. Regions at different temperatures rise or sink or mix, resulting in winds and ocean currents. These winds and ocean currents, which are also affected by the earth's rotation and the shape of the land, carry thermal energy from warm to cool areas. (4B/H2)
The Earth-4 Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, are transparent to much of the incoming sunlight but not to the infrared light from the warmed surface of the earth. When greenhouse gases increase, more thermal energy is trapped in the atmosphere, and the temperature of the earth increases the light energy radiated into space until it again equals the light energy absorbed from the sun. (4B/H4)
The Earth-6 The earth's climates have changed in the past, are currently changing, and are expected to change in the future, primarily due to changes in the amount of light reaching places on the earth and the composition of the atmosphere. The burning of fossil fuels in the last century has increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which has contributed to Earth's warming. (4B/H6)
Energy Sources and Use-2 When selecting fuels, it is important to consider the relative advantages and disadvantages of each fuel. (8C/H2)
Energy Sources and Use-5 Decisions to slow the depletion of energy resources can be made at many levels, from personal to national, and they always involve trade-offs involving economic costs and social values. (8C/H5)
Information Processing-1 Computer modeling explores the logical consequences of a set of instructions and a set of data. The instructions and data input of a computer model try to represent the real world so the computer can show what would actually happen. In this way, computers assist people in making decisions by simulating the consequences of different possible decisions. (8E/H1)

« Fight Among Brooklyn Democrats Intensifies | Main | The Times's disconnect on "sewer money" and Forest City Ratner »
July 1, 2007
Yassky and James ask Spitzer and Bloomberg to withhold aid
Atlantic Yards Report
Council Members David Yassky and Letitia James, in a letter to Governor Eliot Spitzer and Mayor Mike Bloomberg, have asked the state and city to withhold previously pledged direct subsidies for the Atlantic Yards project, citing the "Atlantic Yards carve-out" in the state's revision of the 421-a tax break.
They write:
The most egregious aspect of the carve-out is the amount it will cost taxpayers. New York City has already approved $205 million for the project, and the State has pledged $100 million. The rewrite of the 421a legislation will cost taxpayers at least an additional $100 million and could reach $170 million in forfeited tax revenue.
Because of the size of the 421a tax break for Atlantic Yards, we ask that the money previously set aside for land acquisition aid--$100 million from the City and $100 million from the State—be withheld. This $200 million should not have been allocated in the first place—there is no justification for the government to subsidize a developer's bottom line—and now, with this latest development, any distribution of this money is inexcusable.
Note that city officials told the Times that the tax break could be worth $300 million.

In January, New Jersey-based Summit Reliance Group proposed rebuilding the Sandy-ravaged Seaside Heights boardwalk with concrete construction panels, but the town decided to rebuild with traditional wooden planks.
The six-alarm blaze that ravaged Seaside Park on Thursday was a reminder, though, that while wooden boardwalks are nostalgic, they're also flammable.
As this section of the Shore looks to again rebuild itself, Summit CEO Steven Maimon hopes this time, municipal officials take a closer look at concrete.
During the bidding process to rebuild the Seaside Height boardwalk, Maimon said he met with Seaside Heights officials who "were interested in our proposal, but they were not as familiar with concrete — and there was a lot of pressure to do the traditional wood boardwalk."
He noted that had the boardwalk been concrete, it would not have burned during the massive fire, which consumed at least 30 boardwalk businesses.
"Concrete doesn't burn," Maimon said.
To halt the spread of the fire, crews ripped out an undamaged portion of the wooden boardwalk to create a trench that helped stop the conflagration — a step that would have been avoided had the boardwalk been concrete, Maimon said.
Summit Reliance has a proprietary system of making concrete panels, called StructCrete. The panels are fabricated at the construction site, with concrete poured into molds to create steel-reinforced, concrete-ribbed panels.
Maimon said a key advantage of Summit's technology is speed; he estimated it would take four to six weeks to rebuild the fire-damaged Seaside boardwalk with StructCrete panels. He said those panels also could be used to rebuild the businesses destroyed by the fire.
Maimon said concrete panels can be fabricated to look like wood.
"Colors and patterns and textures can be put into the concrete during the casting process. It will have a wood grain, and look like wood panels," he said.
Coming Monday: Steven Maimon hopes his technology can be used in places looking to build quickly, whether in fast-growing countries like India or areas looking to rebound from environmental disasters, like the Jersey Shore. Read NJBIZ next week for the full story.

Employment seeking girl steals N108k from her prospective employer
Opportunity comes but once, this young girl believes as she stole N108k from her prospective employer. A female jobseeker has been captured for taking One Hundred and Eight Thousand Naira amid her prospective employee meeting in Delta State.
It was accumulated that the businessperson at the organization had ventured out to get something, leaving the suspect in the workplace. The young lady professedly utilized the chance to take N108k and fled.
Good fortune, be that as it may, ran out on her, days after the fact, while going through the road where the workplace is found. She was expeditiously caught and dragged to her home where the rest of the cash was recovered.
Lagos tenant uses Landlord's apartment to dupe house appliance vendors of N50 million
Hey peepz, I have a gist tho I don't know if it's true or not..But I will say it Sha. I was just walking on the street 2receive fresh air when I saw a couple. d man was telling his wife about an incident. I kukuma slowed down an walked behind them to hear d full gist.
It was more like a scam story. A certain man walked up to a Landlord in our area and requested to rent his apartment for 2 months, with the excuse that he was traveling to Canada and just came to Lagos for the Visa Processing.. They agreed on 150K.
The man paid and took ownership of the apartment.He then went out to Vendors in town and negotiated to buy expensive items on lease. With installment payment plans.. He was said to have collected home appliance worth N50,000,000 from various vendors.
He then took them all to the apartment one by one to build trust. At least once they know he lives there, they can easily come around and pack their stuffs if he defaults, these people didn't know what would hit them was going to be deadlier than Tsunami.
As agreed with the Landlord, the man packed out even earlier than expected… Left with all the items, of which he had not finished the payment..and the Landlord was so happy to have struck a better deal He immediately rented out the apartment to another family.
One by one, the creditors began to come in and same story was relieved to them.. Some fainted, some threatened hell fire …. To cut the long story short, Baba Ijebu was arrested alongside the new tenant.. You know Naija now… #POLICE no wan hear wuen
They were only saved after a Landlord intervened. He is a legal practitioner and took up the case. But sincerely speaking. I wonder how some people feel at rest knowing fully well their victims would suffer. I guess it all centers on lack of conscience. This is bad #dojon
It was more like a scam story. 🙆 A certain man walked up to a Landlord in our area and requested to rent his apartment for 2 months, with the excuse that he was traveling to Canada 🍁 and just came to Lagos for the Visa Processing.. They agreed on 150K.

How a middle-aged man died after withdrawing N100,200 from the bank will shock you
What could have taken the life of a middle-aged man, identified only as Muyibi, who collapsed and died in a commercial cab in the Ojota area of Lagos State.
PUNCH Metro reports that Muyibi boarded the cab after withdrawing money from a United Bank for Africa branch in the Ogudu area. Then the driver had turned to to take his fee from Muyibi when he realized the man had become motionless. After reaching the terminus, a resident told Punch's correspondent that the driver alighted from the cab to slightly push Muyibi, who was cold.
The resident, who did not want to be identified, said,
"The driver had picked some other passengers along the way, and they had all paid and dropped off at their various bus stops.
"When the victim did not respond when they got to the terminus, the driver parked the cab to rouse him, but he was cold.
The driver raised the alarm, which drew the attention of commuters and passersby to the scene. People checked him and discovered that the man was dead."
Policemen from the Ogudu division were said to have been alerted to the incident. The driver's vehicle was impounded just like that, while the man's body was deposited in a morgue.
A source person at the terminus who spoke with Punch newspaper confirmed the incident, saying:
"It happened around 3pm on Friday. The man went to withdraw some money in UBA. The Ogudu Divisional Police Officer was compassionate; she pitied the cab driver, who had become jittery.
Although the man was not detained, his cab was impounded at the station pending when the deceased's family would show up," he added.
Lagos state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Chike Oti, said the police recovered N100,200 from the victim's bag.
He said:
"The man was on his way to Ojota when he collapsed and died. We recovered the sum of N100,200 from his bag.
He also had a phone, which had a new SIM card. There is no contact on the phone and nobody has called him. We have a lead as to where he could be living.
His body has been deposited in a morgue for autopsy."

Valerie Jarrett, a senior advisor to President Barack Obama who grew up in Chicago, visited two South Side stores Saturday afternoon as part of a nationwide effort to support small businesses during the holiday shopping season.
Jarrett stopped by Little Black Pearl, a cafe and art gallery on East 47th Street in North Kenwood, before heading to Powell's Bookstore on East 57th Street in Hyde Park, a store she said she's visited for decades.
Jarrett's shopping trip was meant to draw attention to Small Business Saturday, an annual event that encourages people to buy gifts at small businesses, not just large chain retailers.
Jarrett called small businesses "the backbone of our community."
"That's where the growth is, and as our economy comes back, it's very important that our small businesses can thrive," she said. "In the course of a holiday season, visiting a small business in your own community could be the difference between the business surviving (or) closing their doors."
Jarrett chatted with employees and customers at Little Black Pearl before paying $70 for three glass roses made by students who attend an arts- and technology-based charter school at the site.
After Jarrett left, Alett Brown sat a table in the cafe with two friends. None of the women had been to Little Black Pearl before, but they said they'd like to come back soon.
"I like this setting," Brown said. "It's like a comfort zone."

Round 20: Wellpoint vs Charter Cable
This is Round 20 in our Worst Company in America contest, Wellpoint vs Charter Cable.
Wellpoint: is a health insurance company that's part of BlueCrossBlueShield. They don't believe anesthesia is necessary for colonoscopies. That pretty much encapsulates all you need to know about them.
Charter Cable: gets all-around poor marks for quality of service, customer service, and technical support. They're on the record as admitting to blatantly lying to their customers. One time they irrevocably deleted 14,000 customer's email accounts, including all their emails, even the ones that you have to scroll all the way to the bottom to find the secret message. Whoops.
