"Having returned from a glorious week away in Crotia and Bosnia (for Pynchon fans: it was "very nice, very nice, very nice indeed"), I have returned to an inbox that features the current state of play with HEFCE's thinking on open access mandates for a post-2014 REF. In order to ensure that I've got it straight in my own head, I thought I'd write a summary post for quick reference. I'm using the PDF version as my reference. This refers to the 16th July 2013 document."
Rachel H's curator insight, August 21, 2013 9:48 AM
Very helpful summary from @martin_eve of the current HEFCE consultation doc on OA for post-2014 REF
Open and Shut?: Dominique Babini on the state of Open Access: Where are we, what still needs to be done?
"This is the ninth Q&A in a series exploring the current state of Open Access (OA). On this occasion the questions are answered by Dominique Babini, Open Access Advocacy leader at the Latin American Council on Social Sciences (CLACSO). Based in Argentina, CLACSO is an academic network of 345 social science institutions, mainly in the universities of 21 of the region's countries.In inviting people to take part in this Q&A series I have been conscious that much of the discussion about Open Access still tends to be dominated by those based in the developed world; or at least developing world voices are often drowned out by the excitable babble of agreement, disagreement, and frequent stalemate, that characterises the Open Access debate. It has therefore never been entirely clear to me how stakeholders in the developing world view OA, and whether their views differ greatly from those that have dominated the OA conversation since it began in around 1994. In the hope of gaining a better understanding I plan to invite a number of people based in the developing world to take part in this series. To start the ball rolling I am today publishing a Q&A with Dominique Babini, who is based at the University of Buenos Aires. Readers will judge for themselves how, and to what extent, Babini's views differ from those we hear so often from those based in, say, North America or Europe."

"1. Model. The HEFCE proposal to mandate immediate (not retrospective) deposit of journal articles in the author's institutional repository in order to make them eligible for evaluation in the next Research Excellence Framework (REF) is wise and timely, and, if adopted, will serve as a model for the rest of the world. It will also complement the Green (self-archiving) component of the RCUK Open Access (OA) mandate, providing it with an all-important mechanism for monitoring and ensuring compliance.
2. Monographs. Exempting monographs for now was a good decision. The HEFCE mandate, like the RCUK mandate, applies only to peer-reviewed journal articles. These are all author giveaways, written solely for research impact, not royalty income. This is not true of all monographs. (But a simple compromise is possible: recommend -- but don't require -- monograph deposit too, but with access set as Closed Access rather than Open Access, with no limit on the length of the OA embargo. Author choice.)"
"Question 1: Do you agree that the criteria for open access are appropriate (subject to clarification on whether accessibility should follow immediately on acceptance or on publication)?
I'll see your open access and raise you two book contracts: or why the AHA should re-think its policy - Jennifer Guiliano
"This week, I'm co-teaching with Lynne Siemens at the European Summer School in Digital Humanities. Held at the University of Leipzig and directed by the esteemed Elisabeth Burr, it is an international gathering of scholars and students exploring the intersections of culture and technology.Lynne and I are teaching our Large Project Management and Development class. Lynne's been here before but I'm joining for the first time after leading the course at DHSI in Victoria.
As someone who co-directs an instructional school in the US (the newly renamed HILT), one of the incredible aspects of teaching in the European context is the number of students drawn from masters programs throughout the globe. Something like seventy nationalities and three dozen countries are represented here. And overwhelmingly, these are students who are completing their masters degrees and/or getting started with their Ph.D."

Cambridge University Press Implements Copyright Clearance Center's RightsLink for Open Access Solution
"Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC), a not-for-profit organization and leading provider of licensing and Open Access (OA) solutions, announces that Cambridge University Press has selected CCC's RightsLink for Open Access to manage Article Processing Charges (APCs) for its Open Access publications.
"RightsLink for Open Access enables scholarly and academic publishers to quickly and effectively execute APCs as well as page and color changes, submission fees and author reprints," said Roy Kaufman, Managing Director, New Ventures, CCC. "By implementing RightsLink for Open Access for its publications, Cambridge University Press will not only save time and money, but also enable its authors to place orders with confidence and ease."
"This week, the UK's Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) published their formal proposals for including an open access requirement in any post-2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF). Responses to this will be accepted until 30th October 2013. These proposals follow a pre-consultation letter and set of responses which were submitted earlier in the year (link to University of Cambridge response).
Following up our concerns about the policy raised over the last few months (here and here, further posts here) the present iteration represents a decent outcome on some of the details, not least because it defers quite a few of them. That these issues have been deferred does not mean that they do not matter; rather it means that the battles on them will be fought elsewhere – with universities, with journal boards, with learned societies, with publishers and their lawyers and so on. Moreover, there is no cause for complacency around the broader political economy of scholarly publishing, which remains wasteful, restrictive and inequitable on many fronts. And of course, the pernicious REF exercise itself, which this government signalled it would review, must be itself vigorously contested (more on this to come)."
"Open Access stands for unrestricted access and unrestricted reuse.1
As discussed earlier in this blog it is obvious that non-commercial and non-derivatives licenses do not comply with the requirements of the Budapest Open Access Initiative, the RCUK Open Access policy and the Berlin Declaration. All these licences have to be considered as totally incompatible with "Open Access" publishing.
If you look at the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and the new Directory of Open Access Monographs (DOAB), you will find most of the publications listed are using non-commercial and non-derivatives licenses which are not open in Terms of the Definition of "Open". Even if the metadata in DOAJ and DOAB is licensed under an open license (CC-BY-SA), they do not list true "Open Access" publications as they promise. These two open access directories are just two of many examples of an ongoing threat of the idea of unrestricted access and reuse of academic publications."
"Yesterday, I hit a nerve on Twitter. Ok, more than one. But it resulted in a great discussion about open access and brought up some interesting questions. I'd like to take the opportunity to explain in more detail what I meant and did not mean by my tweet. And then I'd like to open up the discussion further. But first, the backstory.
I am writing a systematic review. For those not familiar with the concept, this is not simply summarizing work others have done in a particular area of research. It involves designing searches, implementing filters, and clearly outlining criteria for selecting or excluding articles. The idea is to give a complete overview of the literature and be able to quantify, for example, what percentage of studies in the research area used a certain technique, or arrived at a common conclusion."
The Code4Lib Journal – Crafting Linked Open Data for Cultural Heritage: Mapping and Curation Tools for the Linked Jazz Project
"This paper describes tools and methods developed as part of Linked Jazz, a project that uses Linked Open Data (LOD) to reveal personal and professional relationships among jazz musicians based on interviews from jazz archives. The overarching aim of Linked Jazz is to explore the possibilities offered by LOD to enhance the visibility of cultural heritage materials and enrich the semantics that describe them. While the full Linked Jazz dataset is still under development, this paper presents two applications that have laid the foundation for the creation of this dataset: the Mapping and Curator Tool, and the Transcript Analyzer. These applications have served primarily for data preparation, analysis, and curation and are representative of the types of tools and methods needed to craft linked data from digital content available on the web. This paper discusses these two domain-agnostic tools developed to create LOD from digital textual documents and offers insight into the process behind the creation of LOD in general."
"Initial proposals published in February envisaged requiring a certain proportion of submitted monographs to be open access. However, among the 260 respondents to an informal consultation on the plans there was "widespread concern about the extent to which open access is reasonably achievable" for monographs.
For that reason, monographs will now be exempt from the mandate. However, the funding councils' formal proposals, published for consultation on July 24, make clear the exemption will only be temporary "in view of our expectation that open access publication for monographs and books is likely to be achievable in the long term".
The "overwhelming majority" of respondents to the informal consultation agreed that it is not currently feasible to require data sets to be open access. Hence, the first open access REF mandate will apply only to journal articles and conference proceedings whose authors include UK-based academics."
"Views are invited on the open access proposals for the post-2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF).
The four UK higher education funding bodies aim to further increase the proportion of research outputs published in open-access form by introducing this as a requirement in the next REF [Notes 1 and 2]. This is in line with the funding bodies' policy that the outputs from all research supported by our funding should be as widely and freely accessible as the available channels for dissemination permit.
The proposals set out the details for implementing this requirement, and were developed following the advice received by the funding bodies in response to our earlier letter on open access. The consultation document is available on the HEFCE web-site. It seeks comments on the proposed criteria for open access in the post-2014 REF, the definition of the research outputs to which the criteria should apply, and the proposed approaches to exceptions from the open access requirement. The proposals have no relevance to the current REF 2014 exercise."
"This is the eighth Q&A in a series exploring the current state of Open Access (OA). On this occasion the questions are answered by Peter Suber, de facto leader of the OA movement.Philosopher, jurist, and one-time stand-up comic, Peter Suber was one of the small group of people invited by the Soros Foundation to the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) meeting held in Hungary in 2001. It was in Budapest that the term Open Access was chosen, and a definition of OA agreed. And it was Suber who drafted that definition, doing so with words that still stir, inspire, and motivate OA advocates everywhere. It was also Suber who chose to make the biggest sacrifice for the cause. In 2003 he gave up his position as a tenured full professor to become a full-time advocate for the movement, swapping secure employment for a series of uncertain, short-term grants."
Publications | Free Full-Text | Open Access and the Changing Landscape of Research Impact Indicators: New Roles for Repositories
"The debate about the need to revise metrics that evaluate research excellence has been ongoing for years, and a number of studies have identified important issues that have yet to be addressed. Internet and other technological developments have enabled the collection of richer data and new approaches to research assessment exercises. Open access strongly advocates for maximizing research impact by enhancing seamless accessibility. In addition, new tools and strategies have been used by open access journals and repositories to showcase how science can benefit from free online dissemination. Latest players in the debate include initiatives based on alt-metrics, which enrich the landscape with promising indicators. To start with, the article gives a brief overview of the debate and the role of open access in advancing a new frame to assess science. Next, the work focuses on the strategy that the Spanish National Research Council's repository DIGITAL.CSIC is implementing to collect a rich set of statistics and other metrics that are useful for repository administrators, researchers and the institution alike. A preliminary analysis of data hints at correlations between free dissemination of research through DIGITAL.CSIC and enhanced impact, reusability and sharing of CSIC science on the web."
Open and Shut?: Danny Kingsley on the state of Open Access: Where are we, what still needs to be done?
"This is the seventh Q&A in a series exploring the current state of Open Access (OA). On this occasion the questions are answered by Danny Kingsley, Executive Officer of the Australian Open Access Support Group (AOASG), an organisation founded at the end of last year by six Australian universities in order to provide "a concerted and coordinated Australian voice in support of open access."So far, 2013 has seen the OA scene dominated by events in the US and Europe. In the US, for instance, we have seen the publication of the OSTP Memorandum and the introduction of the FASTR bill in Congress. In Europe, the EU has committed to OA for its Horizon 2020 Framework Programme and the European Research Council has published its Guidelines for Open Access. But it is the controversial OA Policy introduced on April 1st by Research Councils UK (RCUK) that has attracted the greatest attention (and opprobrium) within the OA movement, not least because of its stipulation that researchers favour Gold over Green OA, and its endorsement of Hybrid OA."
"While some librarians are for- and some librarians are against- open access, I sit in the former camp. I am not going to preach about the benefits of OA, which are well documented, I'm just going to state that for me and others, including governments, the debate on OA is over. It is an inevitable progression of scholarly communication in the digital information age. Furthermore, it is an important evolution of science & knowledge. How we implement OA via Gold or Green is however worthy of discussion. It will be interesting to see how the UK fairs out in this regard, especially when most other English speaking countries and areas are going the Green route (USA, Ireland, Australia, EU).When advocating for OA I find it is useful to start with policy and it's important to keep up to date with this area as it is evolving. For a good global overview on OA policies please see this Canadian overview and this Australian overview. The next challenge is infrastructure and the EU has been stepping up progress in this regard, by providing a dedicated site with resources for Repository Managers, Researchers & Project Co-Coordinators on OpenAire. In some EU countries (Denmark, Bulgaria, Croatia, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, UK) national open access groups have formed to look at policy and its implementation particularly with regard to Horizon 2020 funded projects across European countries."
"Running into a publisher's paywall is one of the biggest daily frustrations that many in research tend to encounter. Students and health advocates David Carroll and Joe McArthur decided to take these dead ends and turn them into something useful. With the help of the open source and open access communities, they have just created a prototype of a tool—the OA Button—to map article access denials and help users track down a version of the publication available for their use.
David Carroll took a year out of his medical studies at Queen's University in Belfast to gain research experience in the lab. For his study on cystic fibrosis, he read only papers for which his university had a subscription or those published in open access. At $35 a paper, everything else written on the topic fell by the wayside. "That gap in my knowledge probably ended my research," he says, "because I didn't have the opportunity to read everything [that would help me] generate hypotheses. I could only use what I had."
"How to disseminate Open Access? How to convince scholars, universities and research institutions that OA may help in the development of science? These questions are a never-ending topic of discussion in the scientific community. There are also many answers to these questions, and one of them is a mandatory OA policy for scientists, established by a government or university. However, the question is: does it really work?
The mandatory policy for OA has its supporters and opponents and this division can be observed pretty well during the discussions on the new regulations in the UK. The opponents may say that new rules favor one type of OA and marginalize the other (Gold vs. Green), that the objectivity and freedom of scientific research may be compromised, that freedom of choice is being limited, or that those who control funding will have undue influence on what is being published and where.
Many of these arguments may, or indeed touch upon the real threats that may arise with the introduction of top-down rules for OA. Unfortunately, there is always a shortage of funds for science, research and publishing. Each institution introducing rules concerning OA, whether it is a university or government, will take into account the financial factor and try to choose the best compromise. Of course, you can always argue whether the solution actually supports OA and scientists or not."

H2No™ Performance Standard shell.
Upper: 4-layer, 5.6-oz 100% polyester microfiber high-density taffeta.
Lower: 4-layer, 5.8-oz 100% polyester microfiber high-density taffeta.
Both with a waterproof/breathable barrier and a DWR (durable water repellent) finish
Patagonia developed the 4-layer fabric construction for our waders to increase breathability and abrasion resistance, move moisture away from the body, and decrease the weight.
Our exterior fabrics are densely woven 100% polyester microfibers for durability and puncture resistance. On one side we apply our H2No® waterproof coating for waterproof/breathable performance. On the other side we apply a Hydrophilic laminate that pulls moisture away from the body so it can be passed out through the exterior shell.
To protect the hydrophilic laminate we use a soft polyester tricot lining that increases abrasion resistance yet maintains a soft, supple drape.
Finally, we apply a DWR (durable water repellent) treatment as the first line of defense in keeping these waders waterproof.
Water Resistant
DWR (durable water repellent) fabric finish repels light rain and snow and decreases dry times. When DWR is used in conjunction with a waterproof/breathable barrier, the DWR finish keeps the outer fabric from becoming saturated so that the breathable barrier can do its job.

Sportscaster Al Michaels was arrested on suspicion of DUI Friday night, according to Santa Monica police.
Police Sgt. Thomas McLaughlin confirmed to PEOPLE Sunday that Michaels, the play-by-play announcer for NBC's Sunday Night Football was just over the legal limit and booked for DUI .08 or greater. He was ordered to appear in court on June 26.
"He was observed making an illegal u-turn in a business district," says Sgt. Richard Lewis.
"Two motor officers observed the violation and pulled him over at approximately 9:30 p.m., he was determined to be under the influence and arrested."
It's unfortunately been a weekend of DUI headlines: bassist Todd Harrell of 3 Doors Down was behind bars Sunday on suspicion of vehicular homicide after allegedly causing a fatal crash while under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
News also broke Sunday that Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth were arrested and briefly jailed Friday in a DUI incident in Atlanta.

Brandon Webb's career was noteworthy and a warning
Like us on Facebook here
Wednesday Feb.06/2013
- ESPN.com
By Paul Francis Sullivan (Lead Baseball Writer): Follow @sullybaseball
Brandon Webb is retiring from major league baseball, according to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com. This hardly seems like a monumental announcement this spring. Webb has been out of sight and out of mind since the beginning of the 2009 season. His official retirement notice is reminiscent of a band announcing their breakup long after they had their last hit.
But Brandon Webb's career, brief as it was, was remarkable and also should be remembered the next time an ace pitcher looks for a long term extension.
As outlandish as it may sound now, Brandon Webb was putting together the beginning of a Hall of Fame career. This is not hyperbole.
The former University of Kentucky star was an 8th round draft pick of the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2000.
He shot up through Arizona's farm system and by 2003, the 24 year old Webb was a major leaguer and finished 4th in the Rookie of the Year vote. He posted a 2.84 ERA over 180 2/3 innings, winning 10 games for an Arizona squad that finished third in the National League West.
By 2006, he became an elite pitcher. He led the league in wins, shutouts and ERA+ and had the top WAR for pitchers. He won the National League Cy Young Award and looked like he was just getting warmed up.
His 42 consecutive scoreless inning streak in 2007 was part of his spectacular Cy Young defense. Webb led the National League with innings pitched, complete games, shutouts and ERA+. He finished second in the league for ERA, wins and WAR for pitchers while pitching the Diamondbacks all the way to the NLCS.
He was the runner up to Jake Peavy for the 2007 Cy Young Award.
In 2008, he looked like he was going to have his best season yet. He won his first 9 starts and by June 6 was 11-2 with a 2.58 ERA, averaging 7 innings a start. He was a 19 game winner by August 21 and looked ready to pitch the Diamondbacks back into the playoffs.
He had three bad starts at the end of August and the start of September that helped knock Arizona into second place against the Dodgers and probably ended his Cy Young bid. He would finish second to Tim Lincecum but still led the league in wins and games started while pitching 226 2/3 innings.
By age 30, he was starting his seventh big league season. Three of those years he was either the Cy Young winner or the runner up. Anyone would have looked at him and saw a workhorse starter who was an elite pitcher. And no doubt any team would have spent top dollar for him and traded away a group of blue chip prospects to acquire him.
He threw a grand total of one game in the majors since the 2009 season. He pitched poorly on opening day in 2009. He went to the disabled list with shoulder issues. He made a pair of minor league appearances in the Rangers system in 2011. He never pitched in the majors again.
Sadly a career where he got the hard part of the Cooperstown resume out of the way (the elite seasons and Cy Young victory) never got to the numbers compiling stage.
Like the actor John Cazale who appeared in five classic movies and then died before his greatness could be appreciated, Webb's brilliance shot past too quickly before his elite status was celebrated.
A Cy Young winner and regular contender for the award can be the most coveted commodity in baseball. But the likes of Webb are not necessarily uncommon.
Pitchers like Bret Saberhagen and Fernando Valenzuela exploded onto the scene early and became World Series heroes and Cy Young winners before their 30th birthday. But injuries and inconsistencies flamed out their career. Jack McDowell looked poised to become the greatest pitcher in the American League by 1993. By the end of the 1996 season he was gone from the majors, save for a cameo here and there.
Even Webb's American League counterpart in the Cy Young vote, Johan Santana, is a cautionary tale. By Santana's 29th birthday, he had five top 5 Cy Young tallies to his credit including winning the award in 2004 and 2006. He seemed as much of a Hall of Fame lock as any pitcher in the game. But injuries have kept him from approaching the elite status over the past three seasons.
So now the Giants mull the future of their multiple Cy Young Award winning post season hero, Tim Lincecum. The Rays are weighing the options of the reigning Cy Young winner David Price, whose eye popping save clinched the 2008 pennant. The Mariners are thinking about extending the contract of their Cy Young winning ace, King Felix Hernandez.
Which ones are safe bets? Which ones will pitch deep into their 30's and become sure fire Hall of Famers like Greg Maddux or Roy Halladay?
Which ones will flame out?
As good bets as Lincecum (his subpar 2012 season notwithstanding) and Price and Hernandez look to be, are they much more a lock as what Brandon Webb was after 2008 season?

One time I decided I wanted to learn Linux. I'd used desktop Linux GUIs before but they didn't feel any different than Windows to me. So, I grabbed an old laptop, loaded up the most stripped down version of Ubuntu server I could find, and installed everything to make a full featured desktop GUI from the command line. After that, I felt like I knew my way around Linux computers.

TORONTO - BlackBerry users will soon be able to charge purchases at the cash register to their Visa cards using technology implanted in the company's new smartphone models.
Research In Motion said Wednesday that Visa has given the green light for its credit card system to work using the smartphone maker's encrypted mobile payment technology. The payment method securely links BlackBerrys to bank accounts and credit cards.
The announcement makes RIM a prominent player in the growing market for mobile payments, which is still in its infancy.
RIM's payment technology lets customers use their smartphones like bank cards. They can pay for items by holding it up to a sales terminal, which makes it identical to the chip that's implanted in most credit cards.
"Any place you can tap your credit card you can now tap your mobile phone," Geoffrey MacGillivray, manager of services security and payments at RIM, said in an interview.
Visa's approval builds on a partnership between RIM and Canada's three biggest wireless networks through their EnStream joint venture, which is also part of the security infrastructure that would make the payment method work at checkouts.
Under the EnStream agreement, RIM will manage security credentials for SIM cards in BlackBerrys and devices running both Google's Android and Windows operating systems.
Visa's announcement also opens the door for other credit card companies to partner with RIM, though MacGillivray said those negotiations are still underway.
Shares of RIM rose 2.94 per cent on Wednesday afternoon, or 42 cents, to $14.69 on the Toronto Stock Exchange, coming off a six per cent gain earlier in the session.
The jump follows two days of big gains for the stock, which closed at $11.79 last Thursday.
Visa's approval comes as RIM puts the finishing touches on the unveiling of its new BlackBerry smartphone models on Jan. 30.
Using a smartphone to make a payment is considered one of the next waves of wireless technology in North America, driven by the growing number of credit cards, rewards programs and identification that many people carry.
At this point, most smartphone users are limited to using barcode technology in their phone's apps to pay at retailers like Starbucks or to rack up loyalty points at various retailers.
Newer BlackBerry smartphones, including the latest models in stores, have the ability to make mobile payments as do some phones using the Android operating system. The new iPhone 5, however, does not have Near Field Communication short-range wireless technology to link to credit card information.
The company is hoping to use that reputation and a new generation of BlackBerrys to reclaim market share lost to Apple's iPhone and Android-based smartphones.
Research In Motion describes its Secure Element Manager technology, or SEM, as a way for networks to manage all types of mobile devices equipped for close-range wireless payments, also known as near field communications or NFC.
The EnStream joint venture owned by BCE's Bell (TSX:BCE), Rogers (TSX:RCI.B) and Telus (TSX:T) has already begun to deploy mobile payments in Canada using the RIM SEM technology.
"The approval from Visa of RIM's SEM solution is an important step in that it will enable carriers to support Visa issuing banks and financial institutions," said Frank Maduri, a RIM senior director responsible for mobile payment services.
"We now offer carriers a robust solution with around-the-clock global support that works on any NFC-capable device, and meets the stringent technology and usability guidelines for Visa."

Actor David Arquette has admitted he is drinking alcohol again after staying sober for more than two years.
The Scream star completed a four-week rehab program in early 2011 to receive treatment for "alcohol and other issues" following his split from actress Courteney Cox in October, 2010.
Arquette then boasted he had overhauled his lifestyle, concentrating on health and fitness in a bid to stay clean, but in a candid chat with DJ Howard Stern on his Sirius XM show on Monday, the star admitted he has fallen off the wagon after two years and four months.
He said, "I'm a drinker, so yes, I drink a lot… I've been sober for two years and four months. And I was feeling like I wasn't being that true to myself, like what I enjoy and this and that."
Arquette also admitted he occasionally smokes marijuana, adding: "Yeah, I'll smoke a little weed."
Explaining he fears a backlash over his honesty, he says, "I'm afraid to be honest with you and with the world because people are so cruel… I got my own problems, yes, and I will sort them out. I go to a therapist, I really am working on myself."

Mungallala, said to mean 'food and water' is the site of a cypress sawmill, located about half way between Mitchell and Morven where the Warrego Highway crosses the Mungallala Creek. Mungallala originated as a railway town and is a wonderful place to stop for lunch and experience the workings of an outback town.
One of the interesting natural features of the area is a stand of Ooline trees. On the road between Mitchell and Mungallala, the Warrego Highway crosses hills which are wooded by a specimen of a rare tree commonly known as Ooline (Cadelia Pentastylis). It is said to be a remnant of rainforests of a previous age.
For the self-sufficient traveller there is a rest area provided on the western side of town. This is the approximate site where the Cobb and Co. coach horses were changed on the journey to and from Charleville before the coming of the railway in 1885.

The only politician who feels more entitled to run shit than Hillary Clinton...
Below is a 3½-minute interview President Mugabe granted to Al Jazeera this week:
11 comments:
- Thembi Ford said...
Mugabe don't care!
Seriously when I think about colonialism in Africa this kind of thing stands out more than anything else. Mugabe could never exist in a country with resources - we'd be there ready to fight for freedom.
Btw I'm kind of into Al Jazeera.
- March 28, 2008 at 7:02 PM
- Undercover Black Man said...
Btw I'm kind of into Al Jazeera.
How about that, Thembi? I just found their YouTube page, and it's rocking my socks. U.S. media just doesn't cover so much of the world...
- March 28, 2008 at 9:55 PM
- Michael Fisher said...
I'm not saying he didn't, David, But I'd like to hear from you what exactly did Mugabe say that was incorrect in this clip?
- March 28, 2008 at 10:18 PM
- Undercover Black Man said...
Michael, who said he said anything incorrect?
But one must wonder, if Mugabe says that "agriculture is the mainstay of our economy," why he would destroy that sector by chasing away the very people who built and maintained the large-scale commercial farms.
One must also view with irony Mugabe's boast of investment from "the East." Do you think Chinese or South Asian investors want anything different out of Zimbabwe than the capitalist West did?
He shit-talks Britain, but doesn't it kinda sound like China is making an "economic colonialist" move in Africa?
- March 28, 2008 at 10:47 PM
- Thembi Ford said...
U.S. media just doesn't cover so much of the world...
Most Americans are convinced that Al Jazeera is some terrorist mediagroup because they're the source for all of those Osama videos. But they're actually the only 'free' news source reporting from the Middle East. Lately I've gotten the impression that Americsns don't believe anything legit can come from that part of the world.
- March 29, 2008 at 8:42 AM
- Michael Fisher said...
If Mugabe didn't say anything incorrect in this clip, how does the clip lend credence to your headline that Mugabe feels he is entitled to the Presidency?
As to your land question, check out this here.

- Lola Gets said...
Mugabe has completely destroyed that country. Hey, maybe we can get him to run with Clinton?! Itd be great!
PS - I used to work for Al Jazeera English. LOVED them! They show whats really going on in the world. Now, if I want to read/see them, I just google "Al Jazeera English."
- March 29, 2008 at 12:30 PM

Fisher: My post consists of more than the vidclip. It includes links to articles that paint a full picture of the shenanigans that go on in Zim around election time.

PS - I used to work for Al Jazeera English.
Very cool, Lola.
- March 29, 2008 at 12:54 PM
- Michael Fisher said...
Ok. Fair enough. I checked your links. None of them show that the man feels "entitled to run shit".
By the way. Have you ever been to any country in Southern Africa?
- March 29, 2008 at 1:49 PM

The DIY spy-in-the-sky: From kites to octocopters
A beginner's guide to aerial surveillance
Break out your snoopchoppers, before they're BANNED
Unleashing your camera gives you the freedom to roam the skies at will, although it remains to be seen how long Joe Public will have unfettered access to the heavens.
As we recently reported, the Oregon State Senate is mulling a ban on camera-packing drones - a move provoked by the recent proliferation of cheap spies-in-the-sky.
For under 30 quid, you can have your very own snoopchopper, albeit with just 6-8 minutes flight time.
Moving up the cost/capability scale, what about the Draganflyer X-4?
This auto-stabilising quadcopter packs a rack of sensors keeping things smooth while you "concentrate on getting the best aerial pictures and video possible".
But for when four rotors just don't cut it, check out the terrifying Turbo Ace Octocopter:
Customers are advised to "call for pricing" on this beast, so it's pretty much a case of "if you have to ask you can't afford it".
The same is certainly true of the Sky Sapience HoverMast, suitable for the serious amateur looking to engage in "urban warfare" and "battle information fusion":
And when the Oregon cops roll up to your door to object to your lurking intelligence-gathering platform, you can tell them to take a hike because "due to the fact that the HoverMast is tethered, it is not considered an airborne vehicle" and therefore "standard air control regulations do not apply to its use".
With the exception of the HoverMast, which gets its juice from the ground, 'copter drone operations are limited by onboard battery juice. The same applies to basic fixed-wing vehicles, like the Hubsan Spy Hawk, capable of around 8 minutes' flight:
The Spy Hawk is cheap at around £75, and its built-in 1.3 meg camera means you're ready to roll right out of the box.
For added capability at a premium ($50,000+), consider the AeroVironment Wasp III, as used by the US military for "front-line day/night reconnaissance and surveillance":
Handily, the Wasp III can be programmed for "GPS-based autonomous navigation", so you can sit back and have a nice cup of tea while it spies on the neighbours.
So, there you have a few ways to mount DIY spy-in-the-sky ops, but if money were no object, what would be at the top of the aerial surveillance shopping list?
The El Reg fantasy hangar naturally includes the SR-71 Blackbird...
...preferably fitted with NASA's HiRISE camera:
This magnificent bit of kit, currently completely wasted snapping Mars, could certainly be put to better use at the service of Vulture Central. From an altitude of 300km, its fourteen 2048 x 128 pixel CCD sensors can provide a resolution of 30cm per pixel, so from a Blackbird at 26,000m, we'd certainly be able to see the grapefruit on rival tech publications' breakfast tables.
And finally, by way of back-up, we'd certainly have a RQ-4 Global Hawk on standby...
...since we could control it from the office for extended long-range missions, such as hunting down improbably large HP packages. ®

Watch Politicians Read Mean Tweets About Themselves
Despite occasional lapses in honesty, "Celebrities Read Mean Tweets" continues to be one of Jimmy Kimmel's most successful segments. But one thing has always been missing from the popular bit: Politicians.
The well-connected (and decidedly intrepid) crew of NowThisNews's DC office called in every last favor they were ever owed just to get some facetime with America's leading lawmakers so they could ask them to say mean thing about themselves under the guise of "tweets."
You'd wonder if losing access indefinitely was worth it — until you watch Paul Ryan call himself "Satan incarnate" and Claire McCaskill say she "sucks a pig's ass," and you wonder no more.

Setting the Mahmud
RSBS Special Correspondent and Podcast Schmegleschleimer, Mr. Johanna Mahmud reports:
In Memoriam. Hallelujah.
My favorite part of any award ceremony — be it the Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys or Tonys — is the part where they celebrate those who passed on into the good night. As we wind down this great baseball season, Setting the Mahmud has prepared its own In Memoriam of sorts, to remember those who are no longer with us whilst honoring some of TV's greats!
Adam Dunn/Steve Landesberg
"Arrest the first naked guy you see with a dirty mouth."
His fate is yet to be determined. One of the most consistent players EVER was anything but this year. I wish all the best for my large bat wielding friend. Hope he can Lazarus himself mightily next season. (Also, Barney Miller is one of the most underrated shows of all time). How is Abe Vigoda still kickin it and Steve Landesberg just kicked it??
Jorge Posada/Peter Falk
"Well, it's better than a gallstone. Did ya ever have a gallstone ma'am?"
Surpassed defensively by Francisco Cervelli and out-hit by Russell Martin, this could very well be the end for Hip Hip Jorge!! And if it is, I think the YANKS will pull through. A $200 million payroll will do that for ya.
Miguel Tejada/Aaron Rowand/Bill Erwin
"What are those bums doing back there?! It's like watching a couple hyenas going through the garbage!!"
Designated for assignment for these cats. Rowand probably bashed his head into a wall too many times and Tejada is well… probably 50.
Johan Santana/Tom Bosley
Marion Cunningham: Richie just hasn't got the appetite that Chuck has.
Howard Cunningham: Marion, Argentina hasn't got the appetite that Chuck has.
A personal favorite of mine. His fantastic slider was a thing of GLORIOUSNESS.
And now, please enjoy the fine work of the Canadian Tenors! (Jeff Buckley won't mind. Trust me.) Oh, and tip one out for Uncle Frank.

FINLAND and the good ol' USA
I'm going to Finland! August 24 - 30, 2009 I'll be doing a bunch of talks and zazen things in Finland. I'll be in Jyväskylä and Helsinki and probably a few other places. I don't have specific dates yet. But I'll post them when I get them. If you're on Facebook, they've set up a group about the trip. So go join up. Info is posted in Finnish and English.
I know there are readers in other parts of Europe who've asked me to come out to speak in your countries. Now's your chance. Since I'll be in Europe anyhow, I can arrange to make it to other places while I'm over there.
The only possible conflicting dates around that time as of this writing are
August 6 - 15 Great Sky Sesshin, Eitzen, Minnesota
September 19 - 22 (tentative) Dogen Sangha Retreat, Shizuoka, Japan
If you have any ideas of arranging stuff that doesn't bump into those dates, please send me an e-mail at email@example.com.
Please bear in mind I am a one-man show. I have no staff to set these kinds of things up and I am terrible beyond any definition of terrible you can possibly come up with at organization and scheduling. So if you want to do this, you'll need to set things up. Also keep in mind that I am not independently wealthy. So you'll need to figure out how to finance the thing. But I will take any serious plan seriously.
And for those of you in the USA, I'll be doing a book tour this year and am on the look-out for places to come and speak. Here are the dates so far.
Bodhi Tree Bookstore - Los Angeles, CA - Thursday March 12, 2009
Favors.Org - Event - Bay Area, CA (location TBD) - Thursday March 19, 2009
SF Zen Center - Event - San Francisco, Friday March 20, 2009
Green Apple Books - San Francisco, CA - Author Event - Saturday March 21, 2009 - 4 pm
Copperfield's Books - Petaluma, CA - Author Event - Sunday March 22, 2009 - 1:30 pm
Interdependence Project - New York, NY - Wednesday March 25, 2009
Southern Dharma Retreat Center - Asheville, North Carolina - April 2 - 5, 2009
Same deal goes for gigs in the US as in Europe.
I promise I won't monopolize the blog with tour dates. But for now it's the only place I have to announce these things. I'm gonna be working on that as well.
For now I've added a link with all the dates on it over there to your left.

One of the non-glitterbombs in the Gloss 'n Sparkle range, this is a rich teal shimmer with tiny blue and holo glitter. On the nail, the holo glitter is largely tinted teal by the base, but the occasional holo sparkle comes out in the light. It's perfectly named - it really reminds me of the sparkling surface of a Mediterranean sea as seen from the deck of a boat. If you can't tell, I'm just a bit in love with this shade!
I had to fiddle around with it, of course, so I layered my new (after a long period of lemming) Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure, a red/green multichrome flakie on top:
I quite liked this combo - it looked like land masses in the ocean!
I have good news for non-Aussie Gloss 'n Sparkle fans - Shoppe Eclecticco now stock them, and ship worldwide! So you overseas girls can finally get your hands on some of these beauties :)

By Merope Pavlides [1] Nov 13, 2013 9 [2]
First published May 16, 2012.
On November 12, 2013, James Torrey Hill was found legally sane and guilty of first-degree murder, according to the Monterey Herald. Hill is scheduled to be sentenced on January 8, 2014 and faces a mandatory minimum of 25 years to life.
A trial [3] begins in California this week that has my attention. It's not one that the national news media are covering, and the outcome will go unnoticed by most. A young man, James Torrey Hill, is facing a jury trial in the Superior Court of California [4], accused of killing a young autistic man, Matthew Paul Finnigan, in the fall of 2010.
The Monterey Herald [5] reported testimony from police officers given at Hill's hearing in February 2011. (Stories on the incident are available via archive search.) "Officer Jeff Gibson testified Hill answered the door [to his apartment] wearing blood-splattered shorts. At the end of the hall, he saw Finnigan crouched over, covered in blood, saying Hill had stabbed him without warning or cause," the Herald story notes. The newspaper article goes on to recount testimony indicating that in Hill's statement to police he said that he had been having hallucinations and had "been dealing increasingly with murderous urges in the weeks leading up to the attack." Finnigan would die from stab wounds after being airlifted to a San Jose hospital. Hill went on to plead not guilty.
I am particularly interested in this story for a couple of reasons. The obvious one is that the victim was an autistic adult. At the time of Finnigan's death, both men were enrolled in a postsecondary program for students with disabilities called College Living Experience (CLE). College Living Experience has a number of centers across the country—Finnigan and Hill attended one in Monterey, California. And at the time of the incident, I was the Director of the CLE center in Rockville, MD.
When I learned about the fatal stabbing at CLE-Monterey, my heart dropped. It shook me to my core. I know that my first response was as a parent. How must it feel to send your son to a support program, only have him to die allegedly at the hands of another participant in that program? My next response, frankly, was to be thankful it hadn't happened at my center, on my watch. I felt terrible for the families involved, but my heart also went out to the CLE-Monterey staff and students who were dealing with such a tragedy.
And then I started to have other thoughts. I started to think about the admissions process at programs serving young adults with autism. What many people in special education and adult service admissions will tell you is that it can be difficult to accurately assess comorbidities. Many young adults with learning disabilities and autism have mental health struggles, due either to environmental stressors like bullying or from comorbid conditions like anxiety, depression, or mood disorders. What you see on the surface is not always what you get. In addition, some families do not include a complete mental health history with applications as they worry about admission denial. Then there are the fiscal pressures of running a resource-intensive program like those that serve students with autism. Decision-making gets complicated.
In the coming months, Autism After 16 is going to turn its attention to mental health issues and autism. We are concerned that adults with autism are not getting their mental health needs met, and we are also concerned that because of behavioral issues, students with autism are often being lumped together in programs with students with mental illnesses that might not be compatible as regards treatment modalities. The lack of social fluency on the part of young people with ASD may not mesh well with program participants prone to extreme emotional response. Accounts indicate that Finnigan engaged in problematic online interactions. (Details can be found in an article entitled "Dragon Slain," published in the current issue of a California State University [6] student publication called Scene Magazine [7].) The Herald reported testimony stating that Finnigan had a "bout with schizophrenia." The paper also noted that "Two acquaintances told police disturbing stories about those preceding weeks. One of the men said he was watching television with Hill when Hill suddenly began choking him and asked him if he was ready to die. The man said he began to black out before Hill stopped. The other witness said Hill had told him he could kill Finnigan any time he wanted and get away with it."
As an increasing number of students with autism leave high school in search of postsecondary options, we need to make sure we have choices available that are good fits. We need to be up front about comorbidities and we need to examine what types of supports young people with autism truly need. We also need to be aware that bullying—or in extreme cases, violence—can occur into adulthood, as noted in a recent UK survey [8]. And as families, we need to insist that best practice in serving our young adults includes a real understanding of what it takes to keep them safe.
Editor's Note: I resigned my position as Director of CLE-Rockville in November 2010 and left in February 2011. I gave a presentation on teaching strategies to CLE staff in May 2011 at which point my relationship with the company ended.

Firefighters work to contain wildfire
threatening Oregon city
Send a link to a friend
[June 10, 2014]
By Shelby Sebens
PORTLAND Ore. (Reuters) - Firefighters
were working on Monday to prevent an Oregon wildfire that has forced
home evacuations and school closures from spreading into the small city
of Bend, the U.S. Forest Service said.
The so-called Two Bulls fire has charred some 6,800-acres of heavy
brush and timber and forced the evacuation of 250 homes in Deschutes
County since two fires sparked by humans over the weekend swirled
into one blaze, the service said.
Hundreds of firefighters together with nearly 50 fire engines, 11
bulldozers, and 11 helicopters had contained 25 percent of the blaze
by late on Monday.
But some 2,000 homes and a major source of drinking water remained
threatened in and near the city of some 80,000 residents to the
east, with winds forecast to pick up to 40 miles per hour on Tuesday
likely to hamper containment efforts.
"It's certainly a complex fire with it being close to the city of
Bend and close to the city of Bend's watershed," said U.S. Forest
Service spokeswoman Jean Nelson-Dean.
Oregon senator Jeff Merkley said on Monday the West Coast state's
June 8 request for Federal Emergency Management Agency aid had been
[to top of second column]
Three schools near the evacuation zone would remain closed on
Tuesday and 50 homes remained under evacuation orders late on
Monday, down from the initial 250, the U.S. Forest Service said.
No structures have been damaged and the only injury has been one
firefighter who suffered a minor leg laceration, it said.

You know that by spring you will have a yellow tach, right?
That supercharger cost more than the MSRP of any car I've owned.
Do want. Can't have - unless you really want to get generous on my trade-in or very creative with the financing.
the interior sure looks like a nice place to be.
it is next year. 2016
and the blue is amazing.
After 5 hrs of surgery the patient is doing well. Gas gauge and coolant temp gauge which also wasnt working are both working fine. I'm pretty surprised I was able to accomplish this. I experimented first on the used cluster, besides having to separate cluster I had to remove p.c board from behind where gauges are. Then disassemble the 2 little motors and realign gears to shaft that had pushed out. Then put back together. Was pretty surprised when I got it all mounted back in car and turned key everything worked
nice scott! glad to hear its finally all together and working properly
More gauges now, put on P3 vent gauge shows Coolant Temp, Intake Air Temp, Exhaust Gas Temp, Throttle Plate, Speed, RPM with Shift-light, Battery voltage. Also has 0-60 reading, You just go to that and "Ready" comes up, then when car starts moving it starts counting and stops when you hit 60
That's pretty awesome. Looks OEM.
Thanks, I could have bought just the display and modify my vent to put it in but I didnt want to screw around figuring I would break something. So I ordered it with it already installed in a stock OEM vent
really nice. I am surprised how much vent you still have left, which is a good thing, IMO. I have seen similar pods in various cars and they cover almost all, or the entire vent, which to me detracts from the oem look. That one looks perfect.
