Another light
Sometimes, with the right kind of light, things look so different that new roads seem to open up for novel ideas. It doesn't happen often, but it's very rewarding when it does.
Hold on to those moments.

The rise and fall of 'Untitled Head'
One of the sculptures in the Kingston Sculpture Biennial is called "Untitled Head." It stands alongside others on the site of the former King's Inn on Broadway in Kingston, and has not fared well with time. Not only has the sculpture fallen from its intended position, but it's also suffered major damage, a terrible metaphor or illustration of some of the city's less pleasurable features.
But how we interpret and what we do with the fall of "Untitled Head" is what really matters. Do we complain and blame others, whomever they might be? Do we pick up the pieces and soldier on? Do we leave it be?
What would you do?

'Everything is broken in news' is back in order
|It's back in order now.
So let's overdo it!
One of the story layout features I like the most is when there are photos or other media interspersed within a story, in a way that adds to it as opposed to being a distraction. If you are wondering why your favorite local news entities don't do this - I'm talking nationwide here - it is because their content management systems are probably not quite set up for simplicity. Blame their parent companies. Blame being tied to print. Blame not having enough people or time. Or just blame good ol' story formats or newsroom culture.
The end result is that the story structure remains in the dark.
The way you consume news has also forced ~content~ creators to rethink their 'Snowfalls' and front pages and ad people to (hopefully) reconsider their terrible desktop ads. Everybody is on their phones! Everyone is coming from social media!
And as news producers look at their internal numbers and see mobile use grow faster than they can adapt, a bit of simplicity has been called into order. I think that, at least editorially speaking, we're finally getting the hang of it.
It's actually easy! Mobile sites are almost like a throwback to the old web days, after all. And those data plans are expensive, so sites have to be light. The good news here is that those terribly heavy news websites are going to be forced out by sheer market forces.
So, for now at least, the road is open with opportunities.
Mobile sites are neat in that they're simple. And if they're not, users simply click away. There's nothing more frustrating than clicking on a link on your phone and having a site not loading, or loading improperly.
Stories and sites that are heavy on phones are discarded. And there's a natural organic drop on clickthoughs the more you make people go through links just to consume what they came to the page to see in the first place.
"Click here if you're on a mobile device" really means "Our Content Management System is a terrible bloated beast and we haven't figured out how to deal with smaller screens yet."
How many times have you seen that message?
Wrap your head around that.
So what now? We make sure that every bit of content we produce is as mobile friendly as we can make it, and we cringe when it isn't. This has forced a shift in priorities, which is more appropriate than ever nowadays as newsrooms across the country shrink to impossible levels.
We still find time to experiment, somehow, and will try new things. I'm amazed how my Idealab tablet is now obsolete and how Google Glass came and went (though I'm still milking it, as all these photos show). We've also gotten really good at some things - live streams with politicians featuring live and crowdsourced questions from the public is one of my favorite public service events - and have retired others that were not successful. And yes, we make sure that it works on mobile and through social.
We're looking ahead and have a firm grasp of what's currently needed. So we know what to do. The challenge is being able to do it and ~monetize~ it properly and fast.
And it's not going to be just one thing.
And it's not going to be more things.
Most American newsrooms with a print component have a lot less people than they ever did,
So, then, those fewer things have to be better and different things.
This is not easy.
But it has to happen.
The risk is becoming a thing that was.
I don't expect this turmoil to go away any time soon, and any period of disruption and creative destruction is filled with a lot more tears than hopes. So it's going to stay nerve-wracking and uncomfortable. There's no sugar-coating reality.
So we'll be doing the news, as determined as we've been, though perhaps with a few more wrinkles.
The question is, would you come with us for the ride?
Yesterday's Internet, Today! usually features a single Google Glass photo and a little story, recent links, four somewhat trending stories from the Freeman, a trending video and a cat. Today, however, is a take. Friends don't let friends write takes, so why don't you come over and get it in your inbox?

Everybody is a troll
People lose their heads over something online, and we sometimes react in unbecoming ways. We're quick on criticism and slow on nuance, much less empathy. Mobs are easy to join and easier to feed, and pitchforks are only a click away.
We complain that the Internet is full of trolls, but those trolls have to come from somewhere. And much like people buying things at Walmart and eating McDonalds and listening to Coldplay, the culprit is us.
It was us all along.
"NOT ME!" you say. And that would be you saying, in a way, that you are better than others. Judging. Trolling. Like this very sentence.
It's so easy to fall.

Search continues for shooter of 81-year-old NC man
Search continues for shooter of 81-year-old NC man
Authorities say they've located the truck of an 81-year-old man who was fatally shot in his store on Halloween.
Albemarle police say they found Eldridge Gibson's pickup truck Saturday in the woods at City Lake Park, not far from his coin shop. Police say they're still trying to identify the shooter.
Gibson died at a hospital about 10:30 p.m. Thursday, several hours after a robber shot him at B&G Coin Shop.
According to police, surveillance video shows that the suspect was inside the store for about 20 minutes and left with two bags. He drove off in Gibson's Ford F-150 truck.

Sprint had a rather mediocre Android showing at CES (they only showed off the HTC EVO Shift 4G), but this week the carrier revealed a special press event to take place on February 7th. At the time we had no idea what they were announcing, but Sprint promised another industry first and said magician David Blaine would be on hand to show us that "the impossible is possible".
After thinking about it for a couple of days and looking back at my experiences from CES, I believe that Sprint and HTC will announce the world's first 4G phone with a 3D display and 3D camera.
I did some digging and was told that the event is definitely Android related and will be used to announce a new 4G device. I also heard that there will be several announcements from HTC, but don't expect the EVO II quite yet.
Initially we were told that phones with glasses-free 3D displays would appear in the second half of 2011, but then Sharp announced several models for Japan last year and showed them off at CES. Nintendo is also expected to release their 3DS handheld sometime in Q1, so 3D displays are coming sooner than you think.
Several large game developers have already announced support for 3D games and I can say some titles are nearly complete as we got some hands-on demos behind closed doors at CES last week.
I can also report that 3D movies should be available at the phone's launch. I've seen demos last year in September and it really was something that made my jaw drop.
We have no idea of the device's name, but I'll do my best to predict the specs. All of the autostreoscopic 3D displays that I have seen were small, so I would guess HTC went with a 4″ screen at the most. Qualcomm's dual-core Snapdragon processors are still not ready, so this should be a single-core 1GHz MSM8x55. The device will be marketed as a media powerhouse, so expect HDMI out, a kickstand, large internal storage, and a multimedia docking accessory.
Anything is possible, but a 3D display is the only thing I can see Sprint getting excited about and claiming "yet another industry first".
So what do you think Sprint will name this phone? The HTC Illusion?

The Historical Association of Lewiston hosts a special screening of "Niagara" at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 23, at the Red Brick Municipal Building, 145 N. Fourth St.
For two weeks in 1952, Marilyn Monroe spent time shooting "Niagara" in and around Niagara Falls. George Bailey, a local resident and expert on the filming, will be on hand to discuss Monroe's time in the area. After his brief talk, the movie, also starring Joseph Cotton and Jean Peters, will be shown.
The 1953 thriller-film noir was one of Twentieth Century Fox's biggest hits of the year. Unlike other film noir of the time, "Niagara" was filmed in Technicolor and captures Niagara Falls in its full glory. Monroe had first billing for "Niagara," and was cast as the femme fatale plotting to kill her husband.
The Olde Time Barber Shop in Lewiston sponsors this free, educational and entertaining evening. The event is open to the public. Refreshments will be available.

The Victorville Water District has never had a water sample test positive for perchlorate. For this reason the Department of Public Health (DPH) does not require the District to sample for perchlorate on a regular schedule. The DPH has a projection of required sampling for the District going out two years and perchlorate is not on the projection. However, the Water District prefers to be proactive and conducts sampling for inorganic contaminants every year on all wells and testing for perchlorate is included in the inorganic sampling. The District has never tested positive for perchlorate at any of its sources of water supply.

Lets get this straight: I am by no means a speed scrapper In fact, I may well be the slowest scrapper alive. My layouts usually take me between 3 and 5 hours to finish, which includes playing around with my photographs. I work on my layouts in basically the same way. I select my photos (after I played around with them or -in case they only need slight adjustments I select them unaltered), place them in a template that I like, type in a title and add journaling and then close it till further notice...
Once I have enough time to actually scrap this page, I open it up again, load up (to many) papers, place my elements, pick an alpha for my title, adjust the type for my journaling and then work on my shadows and/or start brushing. I love working with a bunch of different papers because you never know what they look like together. I used to load each one manually into my layout... But then I found a very helpful action (or actually a script) that I use ALWAYS. It's a free action created by Christy VanderWall from SpeedScraps called "Copy & Close". If you don't already have this, make sure you check it out!
It takes all your opened papers and elements, copies them into your layout and then closes them all. Sounds simple but it's incredibly nifty and saves you lots of time. You'll need to have a PSD layout open (it doesn't work on any other filetype), then open all the papers you want. Click on the "Copy & Close" action button and sit back and watch... It takes each paper or element, copies it into your layout and then closes them. It also puts the file names as your layer name so it's easy for crediting! (At least, when the designers have been so kind as to put their name and/or kitname in the files).
After I've copied and played around with all my papers, I'll open lots of elements. I click "Copy & Close" again and now all my elements are copied into my layout. She even made some random scatter scripts you can use with your elements.
You can download her (free) scripts here: http://speedscraps.blogspot.nl/p/free-scripts.html
They all work for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements.
Take a look at the instructions here: http://speedscraps.blogspot.nl/p/instructions.html
It may seem a little daunting, but if you follow her instructions step-by-step you'll get there. Using the scripts first time around is a little weird (what the? where did all my files go? how? what? oh, there they are...) but I am sure that once you've used them, you will never want to be without!
So, how do you scrap? Do you have a method? How quickly (or slowly) do you create a layout?

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia --Australia's acting prime minister says nothing of significance has been spotted so far by search planes flying deep into the southern Indian Ocean looking for possible debris from the missing Malaysia Airlines jet.
Warren Truss, who is acting prime minister while Tony Abbott is in Papua New Guinea, told reporters that "nothing of particular significance" had been identified in Friday's search.
Five planes were sent to look for objects that may be from the missing Malaysian jet, and an Australian official said the hunt would be extended for another day.
The search is part of an international effort to solve the nearly 2-week-old mystery of what happened to the jet, which disappeared with 239 people aboard.

Diedre is an outstanding route. Every pitch is a delight, hence its popularity. It is six pitches long and all the belays are bolted. A 60m rope is needed but if you had two this would give you an abseil escape option if needed. There is only one real run-out which is a slab traverse on pitch two. It is short lived though – just keep the focus! There is tons of gear on the rest of the route because it follows a sweeping corner crack.
The Chief is located on Highway 99 and is unmissable as you drive from Vancouver to Squamish. It towers over the highway just south of Squamish town centre and there are several different parking spots depending on which routes you are heading for. The Apron car park is located about just south of the town centre at the turning to Mamquam Forest Service road. This places you directly below the climbing.
The carpark is 500m north of the Chief campsite. Follow the path past the toilet and scramble up and right to the base of the route.
It is an easy walk of along Broadway ledge and then back onto the main path.
Full rack needed, but bolted belays.

Authenticity is
Back. People want more than anything else not to be lied to anymore. People
want the truth. And, through the election of Obama, and the unprecedented
support he has polled since, people are saying that "they can handle the
truth." None too soon, as our very lives and those of all species on this
planet demand that we face the most difficult challenges humans have ever had
to face…I mean, ever. This is not your mama's new-age fantasy. No, a cultural
flowering is on the horizon, but it is rooted deeply in the awareness and
acknowledgements of the horrors and evils that we've had years in facing and
learning to accept that our own nation was capable of these heinous acts. This
site is asking people of all ages, now, when there can be no doubt that much is
going very wrong and very fast, to take a page from Obama's book, to become our
nobler selves…to say "Yes, we can," and to be the heroes this
coming era will need…heroes willing to tell the truth, to power, no matter
the consequences…

What we do (and why you should care)
For the past 7 years we've been testing ways to make money on the Internet.
That's what Pandecta Magazine is about. We get our hands dirty and let you in on what's hype and what works in the real world. This is in-the-trenches Internet business know-how like you will not find anywhere else.
I'm André le Roux, Pandecta editor. This site is where we share our knowledge - and most of it is 100% free. If you're a serious web entrepreneur, this site will help you make more money. Guaranteed.
Be sure to send us your feedback.
But there's something I should mention...
This is about real, long-term Internet business. If you still believe claims like "Make $10,000 a week - while doing nothing", then Pandecta Magazine is NOT for you. We work our butts off to make money online - and the advice we give will only benefit you if you're prepared to do the same. There really *is* money to be made out there, but it's not a free ride.
About subscribing to Pandecta Magazine
You can't subscribe - not at the moment. Pandecta Magazine was started in 1999 - as a way to share with you what we learn about making money online. Since then we have learned so much about making money online that I started feeling uncomfortable about giving advice when we were clearly not as clued-up as we initially thought - so I stopped publication of the magazine.
Right now we're just learning.
Fortunately we have a couple of past experiments that generate enough money to allow us to do this.
Subscribe to our free "ElectronicLight" Newsletter
In this newsletter, I share what we learn about making money on the Net - as we learn it. It's short & useful. There's no schedule. I send it (via e-mail) about once every 2 weeks when I really have something that will help you make you more money.
For all the search engine news that matters - when it matters - and nothing else, subscribe to the free "EnginePaper" Newsletter.
Worried about privacy? Don't be.
When you subscribe to something here at Pandecta or contact us, we send you ONLY that which you asked for. Click here for our full privacy policy.
Thanks for stopping by.
I hope you found what you were looking for on our web site. If you still have a question you can probably get it answered in our free e-business forums. By the way, our forum moderators (like Joe Robson, Elwyn Jenkins, Nancy Houtz etc.) are all experts in their respective fields, so the advice you'll get in the forums is pure gold.

Nature versus culture or "civilization" could be a philosophical topic for many philosophy students. For me it is a question that sits at the core of my life decisions, choices and directions. Some people may call this dichotomy or life dilemma. I call it simply having options.
When I made some 360 degrees life and career changes going from capital city life to natural heavens the people closest to me at the time thought I was mad because this implied major salary cuts. It so happened that a few years later I happened to have tripled the salary I had prior to change, so somehow something about the "crazy" life and career changes I had done was right.
We all have the choice to live different lives and in different countries but many people are scared of the unknown and because of this they keep living a life that doesn't necessarily fulfill their needs. They keep living it for the sake of what I would call "fitting expectations" may these expectations be family, economically or socially based. From what I have seen, generally people who do that end up banging their heads against the walls sooner or later.
I truly believe that change can make us better and more adaptable so people shouldn't be scared by complete changeovers. The important is to believe in yourself, do what is most important for you and think outside the "mainstream box" that society tries to mold us into.
Some people are lucky enough to know what they want to do from a young age but for all the others I would say that if you are lucky enough to be "gifted" for several things, then go ahead and try them all out and eventually you will find what you are really made for. It is never too late to give a chance to a passion. This may require drastic changes from city life to nature life and a few "adjustments" but I believe this transition is achievable by most of us. The important is finding a healthy life balance and being in phase with what we like to do or what we are passionate about. Follow your dreams! If you slightly went "off-pist" doing so, well I am sure you would have learned some very good life lessons in the process. Don't be afraid of getting lost, as you may well find that it is by getting lost that you find your way.

Americans in Paris
The Greater Journey
Americans in Paris
Not all pioneers went west.
In The Greater Journey, David McCullough tells the enthralling, inspiring—and until now, untold—story of the adventurous American artists, writers, doctors, politicians, and others who set off for Paris in the years between 1830 and 1900, hungry to learn and to excel in their work. What they achieved would profoundly alter American history.
Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female doctor in America, was one of this intrepid band. Another was Charles Sumner, whose encounters with black students at the Sorbonne inspired him to become the most powerful voice for abolition in the US Senate. Friends James Fenimore Cooper and Samuel F. B. Morse worked unrelentingly every day in Paris, Morse not only painting what would be his masterpiece, but also bringing home his momentous idea for the telegraph. Harriet Beecher Stowe traveled to Paris to escape the controversy generated by her book, Uncle Tom's Cabin. Three of the greatest American artists ever—sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, painters Mary Cassatt and John Singer Sargent—flourished in Paris, inspired by French masters.
Almost forgotten today, the heroic American ambassador Elihu Washburne bravely remained at his post through the Franco-Prussian War, the long Siege of Paris, and the nightmare of the Commune. His vivid diary account of the starvation and suffering endured by the people of Paris is published here for the first time.
Telling their stories with power and intimacy, McCullough brings us into the lives of remarkable men and women who, in Saint-Gaudens' phrase, longed "to soar into the blue.

Reading Group Guide
"Not all pioneers went west," writes David McCullough in the beginning pages of The Greater Journey. From the 1820s to 1900, generations of Americans made the pioneering journey across the Atlantic on a mission of learning and accomplishment in the intellectual, scientific, and artistic capital of the western world: Paris. David McCullough tells the story of the generations of Americans whose struggles and discoveries in the City of Light set them on the path to high achievement. James Fenimore Cooper, author of the beloved Deerslayer novels, formed an important lifelong friendship in the halls of the Louvre with Samuel F. B. Morse, the renowned painter and inventor of the telegraph. Charles Sumner, the leading abolitionist U.S. senator, first examined his views on race when he studied at Paris's diverse Sorbonne. Elihu Washburne, the U.S. Minister to France, performed heroically during the Siege of Paris and the horrors of the Commune, serving Americans and other foreign nationals as the official representative of his country.

A Practical Course in Terminology Processing
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Since the advent of the computer, terminology management can be carried out by almost anyone who has learnt to use a computer. Terminology management has proved to be an efficient tool in international communications in industry, education and international organisations. Software packages are readily available and international corporations often have their own terminology database. Following these developments, translators and terminologists are confronted with a specialised form of information management involving compilation and standardisation of vocabulary, storage, retrieval and updating.A Practical Course in Terminology Processing provides the key to methods of terminology management for the English language, for general and specific purposes. This unique course has been developed on the basis of years of teaching experience and research at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST, UK) and is particularly suitable for translation courses, freelance translators, technical writers, as well as for non-linguists who are confronted with terminology processing as part of their profession.
The 1996 reprint of the paperback edition includes an index.
A Practical Guide to Lexicography
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This is a state-of-the-art Guide to the fascinating world of the lexicon and its description in various types of dictionaries.
A team of experts brings together a solid Introduction to Lexicography and leads you through decision-making processes step-by-step to compile and design dictionaries for general and specific purposes. The domains of lexicography are outlined and its specific terminology is explained in the Glossary. Each chapter provides ample suggestions for further reading. Naturally, electronic dictionaries, corpus analysis, and database management are central themes throughout the book.
The book also "introduces" questions about the many types of definition, meaning, sense relations, and stylistics. And that is not all: those afraid to embark on a dictionary adventure will find out all about the pitfalls in the chapters on Design.
A Practical Guide to Lexicography introduces and seduces you to learn about the achievements, unexpected possibilities, and challenges of modern-day lexicography.
A Spectrum of Lexicography
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This collection presents a balanced yet vivid picture of many of the domains of activity of lexicography. Ten contributors from eight countries discuss monolingual dictionaries (for learners and native speakers), bilingual dictionaries, an original approach to computer-aided lexicography, and the use of lexical material in language teaching. The collection of data; the inclusion, exclusion and ordering of material; definition and translation; and the provision of adequate information about grammatical valency, these are among the special topics treated, with many examples of the problems encountered and suggestions as to how they may be solved. A general introduction highlights the shared concerns that characterize the international discipline of contemporary dictionary-making.
Application-Driven Terminology Engineering
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- A common framework under which the various studies on terminology processing can be viewed is to consider not only the texts from which the terminological resources are built but particularly the applications targeted. The current book, first published as a Special Issue of Terminology 11:1 (2005), analyses the influence of applications on term definition and processing. Two types of applications have been identified: intermediary and terminal applications (involving end users). Intermediary applications concern the building of terminological knowledge resources such as domain-specific dictionaries, ontologies, thesaurus or taxonomies. These knowledge resources then form the inputs to terminal applications such as information extraction, information retrieval, science and technology watch or automated book index building. Most of the applications dealt with in the book fall into the first category. This book represents the first attempt, from a pluridisciplinary viewpoint, to take into account the role of applications in the processing of terminology.
A Basis for Scientific and Engineering Translation
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This e-book and the accompanying handbook attack many of the most crucial difficulties encountered by both native and non-native English speakers when translating scientific and engineering material from German.The e-book is like a miniature encyclopaedia dealing with the fundamental conceptual basis of science, engineering and mathematics, with particular regard to terminology. It provides didactically organised dictionaries, thesauri and a wide range of microglossaries highlighting polysemy, homonymy, hyponymy, context, collocation, usage as well as grammatical, lexical and semantic considerations essential to accurate translation. It also supplies a wide variety of reference material and illustrations useful to self-taught professional technical translators, translator trainers at universities, and especially to student translators.All the main branches of industrial technology are examined, such as mechanical, electrical, electronic, chemical, nuclear engineering, and fundamental terminologies are provided for a broad range of important subfields: automotive engineering, plastics, computer systems, construction technology, aircraft, machine tools.The handbook provides a useful introduction to the e-book, enabling readers proficient in two languages to acquire the basic skills necessary for technical translation by familiarity with fundamental engineering conceptions themselves. An additional source for sample texts can be found on the author's website http://people.freenet.de/Michael_Hann/index.html
Bilingual Lexicography from a Communicative Perspective
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This stimulating new book, as the premier work introducing bilingual lexicography from a communicative perspective, is launched to represent original thinking and innovative theorization in the field of bilingual lexicography. It treats the bilingual dictionary as a system of intercultural communication and bilingual dictionary making as a dynamic process realized by sets of choices, characterizing the overall nature of the dictionary. It examines the dictionary and dictionary making by using a model of lexicography which stresses the three-way relationship of compiler, dictionary context and user and incorporates them into a unified coherent framework. Throughout the study, special focus is on English and Chinese bilingual lexicography. It will serve not only as a valuable guide to those interested in dictionary compilation and theoretical inquiries but also as a textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in bilingual lexicography.
Biomedical English
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- The corpus-based studies in this volume explore biomedical research writing in English from a variety of perspectives. The articles in this collection delve into the lexicographic issues involved in building an electronic database of collocations and lexical bundles, offer insight on the teaching and learning of prototypical multiword units of meaning in biomedical discourse, and view written scientific English through the lens of such diverse fields as phraseology, metaphor, gender and discourse analysis. The research presented in this book forms the theoretical and methodological foundation of SciE-Lex, a lexical database of collocations and prefabricated expressions designed to help scientists write scientific papers in English accurately. The concluding chapter on FrameNet addresses frame semantics, whose application to the cross-linguistic study of scientific language will open new and promising avenues of research in the study of specialized languages.
Computers and Translation
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This volume is about computers and translation. It is not, however, a Computer Science book, nor does it have much to say about Translation Theory. Rather it is a book for translators and other professional linguists (technical writers, bilingual secretaries, language teachers even), which aims at clarifying, explaining and exemplifying the impact that computers have had and are having on their profession. It is about Machine Translation (MT), but it is also about Computer-Aided (or -Assisted) Translation (CAT), computer-based resources for translators, the past, present and future of translation and the computer.
The editor and main contributor, Harold Somers, is Professor of Language Engineering at UMIST (Manchester). With over 25 years' experience in the field both as a researcher and educator, Somers is editor of one of the field's premier journals, and has written extensively on the subject, including the field's most widely quoted textbook on MT, now out of print and somewhat out of date.
The current volume aims to provide an accessible yet not overwhelmingly technical book aimed primarily at translators and other users of CAT software.
Conceptual Structure in Lexical Items
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This volume deals with the occurrence of lexical gaps in the domain of linguistic action verbs. Though these constitute a considerable proportion of the verb inventory of many languages, not all concepts of verbal communication may be expressed by lexical items in any particular one of them. Introducing a conceptual system which allows gaps to be searched for systematically, this study shows which concepts of verbal communication are and which are not lexicalised in English, German and Dutch. The lexicalisation patterns observed shed light on the way in which verbal behaviour is conceptualised in a particular speech community. To complete the picture, the volume also addresses the question of whether communication concepts which may not be expressed by verbs may be lexicalised by fixed multiword expressions.
- + Show Description - Hide Description
In constructionist theory, a constructicon is an inventory of constructions making up the full set of linguistic units in a language. In applied practice, it is a set of construction descriptions – a "dictionary of constructions". The development of constructicons in the latter sense typically means combining principles of both construction grammar and lexicography, and is probably best characterized as a blend between the two traditions. We call this blend constructicography.
The present volume is a comprehensive introduction to the emerging field of constructicography. After a general introduction follow six chapters presenting constructicon projects for English, German, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Swedish, respectively, often in relation to a framenet of the language. In addition, there is a chapter addressing the interplay between linguistics and language technology in constructicon development, and a final chapter exploring the prospects for interlingual constructicography.
This is the first major publication devoted to constructicon development and it should be particularly relevant for those interested in construction grammar, frame semantics, lexicography, the relation between grammar and lexicon, or linguistically informed language technology.
Contrastive Lexical Semantics
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Contrastive lexical semantics was the main topic of an International Workshop at the University of Münster in May, 1997. It was addressed from different perspectives, from the pragmatic perspective of a corpus-oriented approach as well as from the model-oriented perspective of sign theoretic linguistics. Whereas the rule-governed model-oriented approach is necessarily restricted to subsets of vocabulary, the pragmatic approach aims to analyse and describe the whole vocabulary-in-use. After the pragmatic turn, lexical semantics can no longer be seen as a discipline on its own but has to be developed as an integral part of a theory of language use. Essential features of individual languages can be discovered only by looking beyond the limits of our mother languages and including a contrastive perspective. Within a pragmatic, corpus-oriented approach essential new ideas are discussed, mainly the insight that single words can no longer be considered to be the lexical unit. It is the complex multi-word lexical unit a pragmatic approach has to deal with.

Defining Language
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Definition is a basic activity of language, of particular importance to linguists because of its use of language to describe itself. Beyond this inherent significance as a crucial element of language study, definitions also provide a rich potential source of the information needed for Natural Language Processing systems. This book describes an investigation of the subset of general language used in definition sentences and the development of a taxonomy of definition types, a grammar of definition sentences and parsing software which can extract their functional components. The work is based on definition sentences used in one of the dictionaries from the Cobuild range, and the book includes a brief history of the development of monolingual English dictionaries, an assessment of the concepts of sublanguages and local grammars and a full exploration of the results of the analysis and of the present and future applications of the taxonomy, grammar and parser.

Diachronic Studies in Lexicology, Affixation, Phonology
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- The ten articles collected in this volume are an impressive indication of the range and depth of Malkiel's knowledge of diachronic processes in the Romance languages. In the author's experience, etymological studies of lexis frequently lead one into the areas of phonology and morphology, and the title of the book reflects these interrelationships. The volume opens with a previously unpublished paper which centers around the history of English. The other papers deal with topics from the Romance languages in general, and from Old French and Spanish in particular. The author has added a "Retrospect", in which all articles are discussed once more in the light of recent developments. An Index of Names and an exhaustive Index of Key Concepts round off the volume.
Dictionary Visions, Research and Practice
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This book is about dictionaries and dictionary making. In six thematic sections it presents nineteen contributions covering a wide field within lexicography: Online Lexicography, Dictionary Structure, Phraseology in Dictionaries, LSP Lexicography, Dictionaries and the User, plus Etymology, History and Culture in Lexicography. Some chapters focus on theoretical aspects, others report on dictionary work in the making, and still others compare and analyze existing dictionaries. Common to all authors, however, is the concern for the dictionary user. Trivial as it may seem, the fact that dictionaries are meant to fulfill the needs of specific user groups has only recently achieved widespread recognition in the lexicographical literature. This volume shows the many ramifications of this functional approach to lexicography by presenting twenty-two authors representing the state of the art in eleven countries: Canada, Denmark, Germany, Great Britain, Iceland, Israel, Latvia, The Netherlands, Poland, South Africa and Spain.
Dynamics and Terminology
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- The urge to understand all aspects of human experience more and better seems to be one of the motives underlying cognitive development in many domains of human existence. Understanding more and better is at the basis of knowledge creation and extension. One way of getting access to how understanding comes about and how knowledge is the result of a continuous dynamics of understanding and misunderstanding is by studying the cognitive potential and the development of natural language(s) and more particularly of terminology, in specialized domains. In this volume on dynamics and terminology, thirteen contributors illustrate that human cognition is a dynamic process in a variety of socio-cognitive and cultural settings. The case studies encompass a panoply of methodologies and deal with subjects ranging from the dynamics of legal understanding in multilingual Europe, over financial, economic and scientific terminology in several cultural and linguistic settings, to language policy issues in multilingual environments. All thirteen contributors link the dynamics of cognition to the creative potential of language as a repository of past and present experience in cultural settings and to the creation of neologisms in domain-specific languages. Attention is given to the functionality of indeterminacy, vagueness, polysemy, ambiguity, synonymy, metaphor and phraseology. In this volume terminology is researched and discussed from an interdisciplinary perspective, combining insights developed over the last decades in communicative terminology, socio-terminology, socio-cognitive terminology, cultural terminology, with tools and methods from cognitive linguistics, corpus linguistics, sociolinguistics, frame semantics, semiotics, knowledge engineering and statistics.
English Historical Linguistics 2006
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- The papers collected in this volume were first presented at the 14th International Conference on English Historical Linguistics (Bergamo, 2006). Alongside studies of syntax, morphology, and dialectology, published in two sister volumes, many innovative contributions focused on semantics, pragmatics and register variation. A rich variety of state-of-the-art studies and plenary lectures by acknowledged world experts in the field bears witness to the quality of the scholarly interest in this field of research. In all the contributions, well-established methods combine with new theoretical approaches, in an attempt to shed more light on phenomena that have hitherto remained unexplored, or have only just begun to be investigated. The accurate peer-reviewed selection ensures the methodological homogeneity of the papers.
English Words Abroad
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- English Words Abroad summarizes the methods developed for the innovative multilingual Dictionary of European Anglicisms (Görlach 2001, OUP) which combines data on English loanwords in sixteen European languages (four each for Germanic, Slavic, Romance and others). This summary allows us to quantify for the first time the extent of the lexical impact of loanwords on individual languages and cultures. The author discusses the elicitation of data from informants with a high linguistic awareness; criteria for inclusion; problems of integration on graphemic, phonological, morphological and semantic/stylistic levels; and speakers' reactions (purism, language, legislation). He then explores the possibilities of applying these methods to dictionaries of gallicisms and germanisms. The book includes a survey of the most recent dictionaries of anglicisms in European languages.
Essays on Definition
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This collection of essays on definitions, from Plato and Aristotle to modern times, assembles interesting, sometimes less widely known and controversial texts. They examine the subject from the point of view of philosophy which is essential for a theory of terminology seeking to establish the relationship between concepts and terms. These essays deal mainly with theoretical issues but they also consider the practice of defining and therefore serve as background to all manner of studies in terminology. In addition they form a useful complement to the better known discussions of definitions in lexicography.
Essays on Terminology

- A carefully selected collection of essays by the most renowned specialist in terminology in France, now published in English. The chapters deal with the origins of terminology, theoretical issues, social aspects, neologisms and evolution, lexicology and lexicography, applied issues, description and control, standardization and terminology in Le Grand Robert. It contains the revised and translated chapters of Rey's famous La Terminologie — noms et notions and other recent articles in English. This book is essential reading for terminology theorists and practitioners and will serve as elementary reading in Terminology training. It includes a complete bibliography of Alain Rey's writings.
Exploring the Lexis–Grammar Interface
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This volume showcases studies that recognize and provide evidence for the inseparability of lexis and grammar. The contributors explore in what ways these two areas, often treated separately in linguistic theory and description, form an organic whole. The papers in Section I (Setting the Scene) introduce some of the key methodological approaches and theoretical positions at the lexis-grammar interface, while Section II (Considering the Particulars) contains papers that report on case studies and show concrete applications of the central methods and theories. Exploring the Lexis-Grammar Interface is a stimulating collection of papers for anyone who wishes to learn more about and get fresh state-of-the-art perspectives on language patterning.

SpaceX set to send supply ship to ISS in November
Era of Soyuz set to be shortlived as Dragon roars ahead
Space Exploration Technologies – SpaceX – is one small step closer to producing the world's first commercial taxi cab to drop off astronauts and cargo at the International Space Station (ISS).
The rocket biz launched by PayPal founder Elon Musk – with $500m from investors and $300m from the US government – is firing a second test pod all the way to the ISS at the end of November, according to reports.
Early plans nicked from Commodore 64...
The SpaceX portfolio includes the Falcon line of rockets, a reusable spacecraft dubbed Dragon, currently being upgraded for human travel, and manufacturing and test sites as well as launch facilities in the US and Marshall Islands.
"We see both cargo and crew (flight) services as being the key to opening up not only NASA's full use of the great International Space Station but also to open up other uses of low-Earth orbit," said Dennis Stone, programme manager with NASA's commercial crew and cargo office.
Talking at a commercial space conference held at the Johnson Space Center in Texas, Stone added that NASA was already discussing some of the uses while others it had yet to "even envision".
Back in December last year, SpaceX sent a capsule into orbit and brought it back to Earth in one piece – the first commercial organisation to do so.
Orbital Sciences, Sierra Nevada Corp and Blue Origin – established by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos – are the other firms contracted by NASA to ferry people to ISS, following the retirement of the shuttles. ®

Field Calibrators Make Everything Better
Users Are Opening Their Eyes to How Much Clearer Their Data Is - and How Much Better Their Processes Can Run - with Field Calibrators
By Jim Montague, Executive Editor
Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees, and other times you can't see either of them because your vision has grown too blurry. But you may not notice it until you get new eyeglasses and see the clarity you've been missing.
Similarly, to many eyeballs, most of the measurements, variables or processes in control and automation don't stay consistent or in tune for long. As a result, there's just one task more important than sensing and controlling a process application's basic parameters, and this is calibrating that application's instruments, controls and networks.
"We use field calibrators, such as those from Martel Electronics (www.martelcorp.com) and Fluke (www.fluke.com) for all kinds of biochemical batches to monitor and verify temperature, pressure, flow and agitation. I've been using them for 40 years, and they've all gotten better during that time. We used to have separate calibrators for different functions, but now they've combined functions and become a lot more digitized. This has been helpful because there's less hysteresis with digital than with analog calibrators," says Bruce Schmeck, an instrument technician at Merck & Co. Inc. (www.merck.com) in West Point, Pa. The facility produces vaccines like Gardasil that protects against human papillomavirus (HPV), which can cause cervical cancer.
Mental Block
However, despite the advantages that field calibrators can bring to process applications, many people don't use them—some because they don't realize their advantages, and others because they don't want to take the little extra time they require.
For example, Beamex Inc. (www.beamex.com) surveyed close to 2,000 process industry professionals last year and found that 9.9% aren't calibrating their fieldbus instruments, while 13.5% in the oil, gas and petrochemical sector don't do it either. This problem may be caused partly by the 43.1% of the respondents in oil and gas who use a semi-manual calibration management system, while another 15.3% say their calibration management is still paper-based. Only 22.8% in these industries report their system is managed by specialized calibration management software.
"Accuracy and traceability are crucial for compliance with pharmaceutical manufacturing, FDA, EPA and other standards, but I know managers who still don't grasp how important it is to keep after calibration," says Schmeck. "Everyone wants to go the cheapest route these days. They'd rather rather run at risk for a little short-term gain, instead of calibrating and making much bigger gains in the long run. They just don't know how much better it could be. When you use field calibrators, you take a process that you hope will be good and turn it into a process you know is good."
Implementing Education
To combat this ignorance, many field calibration advocates are educating potential users about how to gain its advantages. "Field calibration is still a big paradigm shift for many people because so many processes were historically managed with the seat-of-the-pants methods," says Ned Espy, Beamex's consulting director. "And, though many technicians in the U.S. use field calibrators, the subject isn't in the curricula of a lot of engineering schools. That's why some technical, vocational and community colleges are offering courses on calibration. For instance, Coosa Valley Technical College (CVTC, www.coosavalleytech.edu) is partnering with Georgia Power on an instrumentation technology curriculum, running their people through it, and also making it available to students just out of high school. I think about 40 suppliers, including Beamex, Emerson Process Management and Yokogawa Corp. of America, have donated equipment to Coosa Valley's program that opened last year."
Espy adds that education on field calibrators is vital because so many process instruments and their associated networks are growing more complex. "The old three wires for three separate instruments are being replaced by multivariable transmitters or flowmeters that measure flow, temperature and differential pressure, and also perform compensating flow calculations using static pressure and temperature," says Espy. "Now everything is in one instrument, but users must learn to calibrate the resulting 4-20 mA output signal as three separate indicators. Multivariable transmitters are more accurate and stable, so users may only have to test them for an hour once every couple of years. However, they still have to get out of reactive mode and get into proactive mode to make sure it gets done."
For example, Polish Oil and Gas Co.'s (PGNiG) Mazovian Gas Co. reports that it's using Beamex's MC5-IS intrinsically safe, multi-function calibrator to calibrate about 750 instruments at its Lodz plant, which produces and delivers about 4.3 billion cubic meters of natural gas to 386,000 individual clients and 350 large industrial firms in the province (Figure 1). Most of the plant's instruments measure pressure and temperature, and they're usually calibrated twice each year with the MC5-IS, which makes automated calibrations and stores all results in its memory. Calibration reports can then be printed out using Beamex's calibration software. "Customers want to pay for the exact amount of gas they've received, so our gas conversion devices must be extremely accurate," says Jacek Midera, Mazovian's instrument specialist. "Most importantly, accurate measurements and calibration ensure proper billing. Calibrating is crucial because the impact of even a small measurement error can be tremendous in terms of lost revenue."

Mass. lawyer won't be allowed to represent alleged drug dealer
By JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
— A Massachusetts lawyer was removed from representing an alleged drug dealer after failing to disclose he was facing disciplinary proceedings in his home state.
Judge John Korbey reversed a decision to allow defense lawyer Ernest Solomon from representing a Lawrence, Mass., man arrested as part of a drug investigation that swept up 463 Oxycodone pills, 32 grams of heroin and $40,000 in cash between Manchester and Salem.
Julio Encarnacion Geraldo, 36, waived his probable cause hearing in 10th Circuit Court in Salem on Thursday, but Solomon failed to appear — a day after his disciplinary proceedings were revealed by a prosecutor.
Geraldo is charged with possession with intent to distribute a controlled drug and conspiracy to sell a controlled drug.
At a hearing on Thursday, Geraldo posted $15,000 cash bail, after Korbey listened to arguments by Geraldo's other lawyer, Kenneth Bernard, to keep Solomon on the case.
Geraldo was apprehended inside the Sears store at the Mall at Rockingham Park July 16 around 1 p.m. by Salem, Manchester and state police. Two other drug suspects linked to Geraldo's case were arrested in Manchester hours earlier.
Prosecutors began to focus on Geraldo's Massachusetts attorney soon after his first court appearance on July 18.
Salem prosecutor Jason Grosky notified Korbey on Wednesday that Solomon failed to disclose his case pending before the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers.
Solomon is facing accusations of misappropriating another client's bail money for his own use, charging an excessive fee and failure to keep his client informed, according to the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers.
Solomon did not mention his disciplinary woes in a petition to Korbey asking permission to practice in New Hampshire as an out-of-state lawyer.
He refused to comment on his own discipline issues and the prosecution's efforts to have him removed from Geraldo's case when reached by a reporter last week.
Grosky argued that allowing Solomon to continue on the case would not be in Geraldo's best interest. He acknowledged it was uncommon for a prosecutor to alert a judge about a defense lawyer's ability to represent someone facing criminal charges.
"It is not a prosecutor's role to look out for a defendant's best interests," Grosky said. "But when a glaring problem exists, perhaps to the detriment of the accused and his right to effective assistance of counsel, there's a duty to speak up."
Grosky noted in a motion to Korbey that Solomon once posted $8,000 of his own money in 2009 to post bail for a drug suspect he did not represent. The suspect was later deported to the Dominican Republic before his case could move forward in court.
Geraldo's case has been bound over to superior court, where a grand jury could return indictments.
Korbey allowed Geraldo to keep Bernard, his in-state defense attorney.

Federal jury clears police in brutality case
STRATFORD -- A federal court jury cleared a Stratford police officer and a state trooper of brutality and using excessive force in making three arrests during a 2007 melee.
The jury returned its verdict Tuesday at U.S. District Court in Hartford, finding in favor of Officer John Therina, now a Stratford police detective, and Trooper Paul Comensanas. The defendants, along with three other officers who were later dropped from the case, were sued in connection with a brawl at the now-defunct Harborside Bar on Sept. 22, 2007.
Attorneys Richard Buturla and Warren Holcomb, of the Milford firm of Berchem, Moses and Devlin, defended the Stratford officers. Tina Sypek D'Amato represented the plaintiffs, Narell Stallworth, Calvin Smalls and Larisse King, all of Bridgeport.
Stallworth claimed that his constitutional rights were violated when he was stunned twice and bitten twice by a police dog while trying to leave the area of the fights that spilled onto nearby streets. Smalls and King were also bitten by the dog that the state trooper was handling, D'Amato said.
The three were arrested in the parking lot of the adjacent Danny's Drive-In as about 30 police officers attempted to handle a crowd that Buturla estimated Wednesday was about 1,000 people.
D'Amato said the jury was swayed when one of her clients incorrectly described the type of hat that Comensanas was wearing.
"The scene was chaotic," D'Amato said. "People were being Tasered, slammed to the ground and bitten by dogs. All of the officers were shining lights in their faces. Those are circumstances where a misidentification can occur. But the jury didn't even think about it.''
Buturla said the jury understood "that these officers acted reasonably at all times in the face of a near-riot. We are pleased that the jury verdict vindicated these fine officers."

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Branden Oliver rushed for 238 yards and Alex Zordich threw four touchdown passes as Buffalo rolled to a 56-34 victory over Morgan State on Saturday night.
Oliver had first-half scoring runs of 1 and 3 yards among his 25 carries and broke his own record for most rushing yards for the Bulls (1-1) since they moved to the Football Bowl Subdivision in 1999.
Zordich completed 16 of 21 passes for 237 yards, including a 34-yarder to Alex Neutz for a 42-13 lead with 10:05 left in the third quarter. Neutz caught eight passes for 154 yards and four touchdowns, one from Joe Licata.
Buffalo, which lost its opener to Georgia 45-23, piled up 571 yards to 366 for Morgan State (1-1), a Football Championship Subdivision team.
Travis Davidson gained 136 yards on 26 carries for the Bears, and Robert Council completed 12 of 16 for 161 yards and two touchdowns.

Walton International Scholarship Program
Creating Life-Changing Opportunities in Education Across Central America and Mexico
Education of young people shapes a nation. Soviet leaders recognized this fact and during the mid-20th century recruited many promising young scholars from third-world nations to receive free education in universities of the Eastern Bloc. The offer was eagerly accepted, and the result was that these formally educated students-their thinking now shaped by ideals of Marxism, socialism, and atheism-returned to their homelands to rise to positions of political and economic leadership.
American entrepreneur Sam Walton decried this pattern and took it upon himself to provide an alternative for these bright individuals: Come to the United States for training in economic freedom, individual responsibility, and faith. To accomplish this goal, he established programs at John Brown University and two other private liberal arts colleges in Arkansas, by which are provided 60 annual scholarships at each school for students from Central America and Mexico. Funded independently of all other university aid programs, Walton grants cover tuition, room and board, and other associated expenses. One stipulation of the scholarship agreement is that upon completion of their training, all recipients must return to their home countries for a period of time equal to that of their studies in the U.S.
Over 1,200 students from Central America and Mexico have received the scholarship, and a very high percentage have completed bachelor's degrees and returned home, where the value of an American education is unmistakable. John Brown University's graduates of the Walton Scholarship Program have attained noteworthy positions in business, engineering, politics, computer science, journalism, education, and ministry. Mr. Walton's dream is being fulfilled.
