One Piece - Chapter 569 (manga)
Welcome to the weekly manga discussion thread for One Piece.
Thread Guidelines
Happy holidays, folks! We've got an early Christmas gift this year in the form of a whole mess of spoiler pics for the latest chapter! There hasn't been any translation yet, so I'm basing the summary off the action going on in the panels (I'll update it when translations DO appear, though):
-Marco recovers from the assault from Kizaru, but gets seastone handcuffs slapped on him. Meanwhile, Jozu is completely frozen by Aokiji, putting two of the strongest commanders out of the game, for now.....
-Luffy is making his way towards Ace, but gets stopped by the PX army. However, Hancock steps in to take on the clones (apparently, they won't attack her since she's a Shichibukai). Meanwhile, it looks like Iva is kicking some VA behind, and the executioners are once again ready to lop off Ace's head....
-Coby is now the next one to face Luffy. However, the young marine gets KO'ed by one attack from the supernova. Meanwhile, the marines are unloading everything that have onto Whitebeard, but the emperor isn't ready to fall just yet. It looks like he gives another of his epic "I am Whitebeard" speeches, knocking the group of marines aside. His remaining commanders and Jinbei gather around him as the executioners are once again about to kill Ace. However, Luffy yells at them to stop, once again unleashing a burst of his kingly Haki. The executioners pass out, and everyone at the scene is shocked......
Well, we were waiting to see Luffy use his kingly ambition again, and it couldn't have appeared at a more critical moment, methinks. The Whitebeard scene is of course, awesome too. Heh, I think Garp and Sengoku have no choice but to get their hands dirty at this point......
And again, I want to remind everyone that this spoiler came out much earlier than it should have since that tends to happen on the holiday break. Therefore, the full chapter might not come out until next week (and if does it comes out this week, expect next week to be a chapterless one......).

I was expecting the spoilers on Christmas Eve, but to have spoilers and pics days before this is great .
And, not only do we get epic pics, but the much longed for and much discussed Haki "burst" has finally appeared. Will this be the end of Luffy's conscious Haki, or will he, in the next chapter, get the proverbial Golden Star for a few seconds, and become the Luffy we all expect him to be by the end of the series.
Whatever the case, seeing Coby clobbered in one blow was awesome, and seeing Jango fall from Luffy's Haki was pure win (If Jango fell, it is a sure bet that many of the "weaker" individuals probably also fell, which means that only the heavy contenders will be left to fight in the next chapters.) We are winding down to the end; I expect at least 7 chapters until this arc is over, but I wouldn't be surpsie if it is more likely 12 chapters until this arc closes.
edit: Some more spoilers -
It is hard to make out, but it seems that Hancock somehow controls the Pacifista (its glowing beamy hand thingie recedes when she stands in front of it); additionally, there is talk that Marco and Jozu were taken out (which I cannot confirm with the pictures I have seen so far).

Damn, according to the spoiler summary, it looks like Marco and Jozu are gonna be MIA for the time being. It definitely looks like the marines are currently having the upper hand in this war, so far. Now to see how things will change now that Luffy once again called forth the power of his ambition......
Heh, I also had a chuckle when I saw Jango pass out like that. Also, seeing Luffy KO Coby makes wonder where the heck Helmeppo scurried off to? I guess he went to hide somewhere since we know that Akainu harshly punishes any cowardly soldiers who try to flee the island.....

I was hoping we would get the translation, of especially the last page, by now. Not just the images, but also the lines make things a lot more interesting. At the least, Aokiji's and Whitebeard's comments. Sengoku is too occupied with the moment to make any kind of comment.
That may also mean Luffy's haki is indeed very rare and may be a big trouble for the marines if controlled. If haki is what made Rayleigh many times stronger than the rookies (and who knows maybe Shanks as well), then yes, it would be interesting to see its impact on the current fight.
I forgot, Garp may have a Dragon moment as well (for Sengoku it may be Roger)...But, that is for the next chapter.

Well, pics of Marco and Jozu being taken out appeared, so that part of the summary is confirmed. Also, we see Hancock smacking one of the Kuma clones, so it looks like she indeed fights against them, after all. Man, this war just gets wilder and wilder, doesn't it?
Edit: BTW, it looks like it's Onigumo who slaps the seastone cuffs on Marco. Then the guy simply gets raped by Kizaru's beams. Yikes......

Nice way to end the year
Here's an interesting thought: Luffy did his "Haki burst" from some distance away - he was probably further away than Whitebeard. But it looks like Whitebeard thought he couldn't do anything (I can't make out all the text but it certainly seems to read that way). So, pretty strong evidence that Whitebeard does not have Haoushoku Haki, I'd say. Ditto for any of the attacking pirates. So can we further say that Luffy's Haki is likely above that of all the attacking pirates (individually)? Seems like a good working assumption.
We know that Boa Hancock has Haoushoku Haki. Do any of the Marines? Maybe Garp? Interestingly, we don't get to see Garp's reaction.

To have Haoushoku Haki, one must have the ambition to be a ruler and have the determination strong enough to achieve it.
I don't think any Marines would have it, because they are all controlled by the World Government. If any marine had Haoushoku, he would have staged a coup d'etat on the World Government or something.
If anything, the admirals would have powerful 'military' Haki, the Haki of a leader and war veteran. Great military leaders need to look and be powerful to boost the morale of men and their reputation from their victories send fear to the enemy.

I think that the haki that whitebeard has is the protect his sons. Some chapter before I think sengoku wants ace to become the pirate king. And isn't what white beard doing now is trying to guide the youth to their own future. I mean his the current king of the sea he can just use his authority to seek every island in the new world to find one piece. But he didn't. So I think its safe to say that luffy has higher ambition than anyone their. His ambition is to become a pirate king to begin with But if its against black beard which is has the same ambition as him. Maybe they have the same haki.
btw if hancock has the same haki as luffy but what's the main ambition of hancock? did she also want to become the pirate king? or she just has a high status.

Hancock had better be stripped of her warlord status. She has now made it blatantly obvious that she is helping Luffy, and that is unforgivable in the eyes of the marines and WG. Say goodbye to Amazon Lily, Hancock .
Furthermore, how convenient that the PX army won't do anything when in Hancock's presence. I guess this does explain how Kuma (being a warlord himself) was able to order the pacifista to stop its assault on the strawhats back at the archipelago. What a terrible flaw that is. The WG should have had Vegapunk design them so that they only become docile when given orders by marine personnel, not the untrustworthy warlords. How could they not have foreseen something like this happening? This is incompetence on the WG's part.
Also, now that Kuma is a complete pacifista weapon, I wonder if that would make him prone to being on a leash by Hancock or any other warlord for that matter? I certainly hope not.

WHITEBEARD IS BEAST! The guy just wont die! and this is him in his declining years. how strong was this guy at his best!? And how the fuck was roger able to match a guy like that in power when he was a pirate!? The duels between the two of them must have destroyed islands.

Also, I'm disapointed at the situation of Marco & Joz. WB is taking serious injuries. They need a miracle.

Why waste the opportunity for a great moral dilemma for these two and have a serious stand-off? Stories are not all about strenght. Both Luffy and Coby need to mature a lot and face the consequences of the fact that they have picked one side in the pirate/marine conflict based on merely selfish reasons. Merely selfish - I can't stress this enough. Even if Luffy believes in the "freedom" of the pirates and Coby in the "justice" of the Marines that's a philosophy on both ends that could use some experience to back it up, or else these characters will always stay infantile.

Wthell? That's crap. Luffy's haki attack should have been at the beginning of this chapter instead. Marco/Jozu=fail. Really wouldn't be surprised when Ace does survive but a lot of other people such as the WB commanders and others get captured instead. A blow to the marines/WG but they get other well known pirates captured.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — The U.S. women kept a lid on their biggest tricks to ease into finals for the Olympic debut of ski halfpipe late Thursday.
In front of a capacity crowd at the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park, all four of the U.S. women made the final, where 12 skiers from seven countries will introduce their sport to the world. They tempered the trickery, opting for solid, albeit mellow, runs that pushed them into finals.
"Qualifying I just wanted to put down a clean run and then finals let it rip," said California's Maddie Bowman, the gold medal favorite with a pair of back-to-back 900s that has dominated women's halfpipe for the last season.
The slushy conditions in the pipe is working for South Lake Tahoe's Bowman.
"A little piece of home, halfway across the world," said Bowman, who qualified third.
Brita Sigourney qualified second behind France's powerful Marie Martinod. Angeli Vanlaanen qualified fifth and Annalise Drew enters finals from the 11th qualifying position.

Simon Cowell is closing up shop on the U.S. version of "The X Factor."
Fox, along with Syco and FremantleMedia, announced the show has concluded its stateside run after three seasons.
"I've had a fantastic time over the last 12 years, both on 'The X Factor' and 'American Idol.' And apart from being lucky enough to find some amazing talent on the shows, I have always had an incredible welcome from the American public (most of the time!)," Cowell said in a statement.
"Last year, for a number of reasons, I had to make a decision to return to the U.K. version of 'The X Factor' in 2014. So for now, I'm back to the U.K. and I want to thank Fox for being an incredible...

Every little bit helps...
Per Rotoworld:
Eagles hired 49ers director of player personnel Tom Gamble as vice president of player personnel.
A hot name in GM searches this offseason, Gamble will instead make a lateral move to Philadelphia. Considered a big factor in the 49ers' recent success in the draft and free agency, Gamble will work very closely with GM Howie Roseman and coach Chip Kelly. It's a big get for Roseman, whose evaluation skills have been questioned. It's an equally big loss for the 49ers.

Ah, stars. They're just like us! They celebrate Thanksgiving dinner and then, even though they're stuffed to the gills, sneak downstairs in the middle of the night to raid the fridge of leftovers. But, um, stars. They're totally different from us. Because if you're Lady Gaga, it was right about now that you discovered that dozens of fans were trying to break into your house.
After celebrating T-day at home with her family, Gaga -- according to her own tweets -- woke up for leftovers in the middle of the night and went to the kitchen. And she was naked! She then happened to catch sight of 35 fans in her garage on her security camera. They were also singing loudly and ringing her door bell. Gaga tweeted:
#MONSTERFACT when gaga is asleep try to break into the garage, sing loud as possible, + ring the doorbell repeatedly #happeningnow #badkids
thanksgiving story: woke up for leftovers in kitchen (naked)- stumbled on security camera revealing 35 monsters in my garage
#why #iloveu
Gaga then apparently rescued a woman named Emma Adaoui, who describes herself as Gaga's "nanny" and her masseuse and manicurist, who had somehow got stuck in the basement with the fans. (Were they in the garage or the basement? I'm so confused!) Gaga tweeted that Emma was safe and then Emma tweeted:
@ladygaga Thanks little monsters. 3am you should try sleeping it works wonders x
Though undoubtedly Gaga must have been somewhat annoyed by all of this, she tried to figure out how to send T-day stuffing down to her fans -- but couldn't fit it under the door. She tweeted:
i should be mad i guess except i tried to figure out how to slide stuffing under the door, but theres no cat-flap
She then tweeted a pic of herself that appears to show her staring at the security camera footage. Perhaps she made herself up for the tweet, because she's got full-on eyebrows and lipstick!
Seriously, monsters, I know you love your idol. But allow the woman to digest her Thanksgiving Day meal in peace! And, oh yeah, GET A LIFE.
Have you ever had anyone break into your house during Thanksgiving? No? Me neither.

Get DVD Talk Feeds
Filmmaker Jessica Yu, inspired by the book "The Ripple Effect" by Alex Prud'homme, takes no prisoners in her assessment of American water usage. After an opening in parts of the world where crowds of people fight over a single 3-gallon jug of water and tanks patrol the streets to monitor water lines, she cuts to a montage of car washes, sprinkler systems, public fountains, and running showers that cuts to the bone with its cheeriness; rarely will a collection of such happy footage make the viewer feel so shameful. Before long, it's hard not to start mentally cataloging every memory of letting the sink run while washing dishes dishes or flushing the toilet to dispose of a spider corpse.
First on Yu's list of serious problem areas is Las Vegas, an area surrounded by barren desert. Somewhat ironically, the strip, with its water shows and rivers and fountains, is the least of the area's worries. With each expansion of population, more and more water gets sucked out of Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam. When the water level in Lake Mead drops to 1050 ft., the dam will stop generating electricity, and 2011 elevation puts it at 1086 ft., with a yearly drop of 10 feet. Scripps researcher Tim Barnett describes theoretical discussions about what would happen if the lake would become completely barren, and says that by 2025, the probability of that actually happen would be roughly 50%. "We were shocked. If we don't do anything, Las Vegas is a dead city, full stop." To save Vegas, they've proposed a $3b, 250-mile pipeline up to a town called Baker, where another oasis awaits, but one has to wonder, is that a bandage or a solution? And what happens to the people of Baker? "If they take that, where do I go?" one resident asks.
Next, Yu paints California as on the brink of a massive shortage, one which can be previewed by looking at Australia, where a drought lit up some of the worst wildfires in the country's history, sent wildlife running into the cities, and wreaked havoc on the farmers that make their living in the Australian outback. Livestock died, plants refused to grow, and the farmers became hopelessly desperate: at the peak of Australia's drought, a caption tells the viewer, a farmer committed suicide every four days. Yu introduces us to the Horkings, a husband and wife who are struggling to get by when the cost of feeding their livestock outweighs the profit. Meanwhile, back in the Central Valley, farmers stubbornly refuse to re-evaluate water usage despite a panel of scientists and ecologists begging them to reconsider. Jay Famiglietti, of the UC Center for Hydrologic Modeling, one of the documentary's most blunt participants, laughs nervously into the camera after the panel is over. "We're screwed!" he says, only half-joking.
The list of concerns is rounded out by an even more frightening prospect than having too little water: the prospect that we're poisoning the water we do have. Yu joins Erin Brockovich on a trip to Midland, TX, where the drinking water is tainted by excess amounts of hexavalent chromium, a chemical that causes skin rashes and cancer. Her journey is intercut with UC Berkeley's Tyrone Hayes, who examines the disturbing, transformative effect of herbicide Atrazine on amphibian life, and how that could mean birth defects and breast cancer in humans. Hayes determines that his frogs are affected when Atrazine makes up .1 parts per billion in a sample of water, a frighteningly low number thrown into even worse light when considering the EPA's chemical standard for Atrazine in drinking water is way up at .3 parts per billion, and water tested in a village in Ohio tests at 227 points of Atrazine per billion.
In the second half, Yu shifts into the discussion of solutions. Desalinization, recycled water and the social stigma of it (complete with Jack Black cameo), and the bottled water America loves so much (yeah, bad news on that front) are all discussed. Some will undoubtedly accuse the documentary of being bombastic and exaggerated, but Yu makes her points clearly and consistently, allowing the data to tell the story, and she stresses that it's not too late; the assembled panel of scientists and experts have hope (even Famiglietti). Last Call at the Oasis intends to startle the viewer, but only into action; it's a sharp reminder that something we routinely take for granted is also a resource, and one in desperate need of some forward thinking.
The DVD
Docurama brings Last Call at the Oasis home with the poster art, of a small whirlpool inside an hourglass, standing in the middle of a barren desert. Otherwise, the design is fairly sparse. Inside the case, there is a flyer with an ad for a companion book on one side, and a call to sign a petition on the other.
The Video and Audio
Presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen, this documentary mostly looks decent, but as with any documentary, the footage is culled from a number of sources, including TV broadcasts and old educational films. Some of the footage displays obvious interlacing, other footage doesn't appear to have this issue. Sound, meanwhile, is a straightforward Dolby Digital 2.0 track that is, of course, almost entirely based around the interviews, which all sound perfectly fine. The only disappointment is, yes, no captions or subtitles.
The Extras
"Erin Brockovich Interview" (8:43) is a short, somewhat promotional sit with Brockovich, who talks at length about who she hopes will see the film, the things that are most important to remember about water, and the people who contact her for help.
Four promo videos follow. "Hidden Water" Animated Video (2:59) is a great little animated promo briefly illustrating some of the things we take for granted that require(d) massive amounts of water, and a couple of tips on how to help conserve. "Jack Black Saves the World From Thirst" (3:43) is a slightly extended version of the footage from the film. I don't really know if this particular promo makes sense; if the issue with recycled water is just getting people to try it and realize there's nothing wrong with it, the comic exaggeration in the ad doesn't seem like...the best route? "Meet Mister Toilet" (3:19) is an little interview with Jack Sim, a former businessman using his wealth and skills to bring working toilets to third-world countries. The only problem with this featurette, which gets across some tough information and imagery in just a couple of minutes, is that it was initially prepped for the web, where it had a caption identifying Jack Sim. On DVD, without the caption, he's only referred to as "Mr. Toilet"! Finally, "Arid Lands" (5:00) investigates the Arid Lands Institute, teaching architects and students how to be more creative and resourceful when it comes to water use in future projects.
Trailers for dirt! The Movie, Fresh: New Thinking About What We're Eating, The End of the Line, and The Last Mountain are accessible from the special features menu. An original theatrical trailer for Last Call at the Oasis is also included. There is also a short menu page about Docurama Films.
Last Call at the Oasis tackles an issue that goes beyond political parties and does so with an assured hand and plenty of data with which to paint an important picture. Highly recommended.

I've gotten a little help from other Moms from the Adventures in tandem nursing book. I've tried to just let go and let him nurse as much as wants but when I found myself gritting my teeth I knew it was time to cut back. I won't have him give up the morning and bedtime nursing and many days he doesn't nap. The last few days he has cut back on two times a day without much resistance after the first day.I have gotten suggestions from friends for interesting snacks to replace them. I am also trying not to nurse the baby in the spots that he likes.
Honestly it might not be so uncomfortable to me if he could keep his hands off of my breasts while nursing but its like an unconscious reaction and I constantly have to redirect him.

NS: European stock markets slide in renewed global sell-off
European markets sank Wednesday, tracking a US and Asian sell-off as the Trump-fuelled surge stumbled on doubts over his ability to fire up the world's biggest economy.
The dollar also struggled to recover losses against its major rivals as the euphoria of the US post-election period faded.
After hitting multiple records this month, Wall Street's main indices suffered their worst losses since Donald Trump's November election triumph, dragging Europe and Asia down with them as dealers fretted about his agenda.
London stocks shed 0.8 percent in mid-morning trade, with top faller Kingfisher (Frankfurt: 812861 - news) slumping 5.5 percent as the home-improvements chain's annual results missed market expectations.
In the eurozone, Paris dropped 0.7 percent and Frankfurt lost 0.6 percent.
The key cause for investors' concern is Thursday's vote in Congress on the replacement for Obamacare, with many Republicans opposed to it in its current form.
"After two months in office, markets want proof not just promises, fearful that the healthcare reform Trump is using to put his stamp on the presidency could delay the tax cuts and infrastructure spending markets desire so much more," said analyst Mike van Dulken at trader Accendo Markets.
Promises of infrastructure spending, tax cuts and deregulation were a key factor in the global markets rally.
The president travelled up Pennsylvania Avenue Tuesday to warn the party it could lose its majority if it fails to push through his bill.
If the Trump administration fails to secure support for his bill, analysts say that health reform would likely not take place until October, meaning economic reforms could be delayed until the end of this year at the earliest.
- Financials, miners under pressure -
In London on Wednesday, the banking sector bore heavy losses with Barclays (LSE: BARC.L - news) down 3.1 percent, Standard Chartered (BSE: 580001.BO - news) shedding 2.9 percent and Royal Bank of Scotland (LSE: RBS.L - news) losing 2.1 percent.
Miners also took a bashing, with BHP Billiton (NYSE: BBL - news) down 2.1 percent and Rio Tinto (Hanover: CRA1.HA - news) dropping 2.2 percent in value.
"Financials and commodities have been the winners since the US election -- and these are the sectors under most pressure now as concerns rise that the Trump trade has gone too far, too fast, without seeing the relevant policy changes to support market expectations," said Interactive Investor analyst Rebecca O'Keeffe.
The European slip mirrored similar losses in Asia, where Tokyo ended more than two percent lower, while Hong Kong shed 1.1 percent and Shanghai closed down 0.5 percent.
In commodities, oil prices dived close to a four-month low on growing concerns over rising crude stockpiles in top consumer the United States.
Europe's benchmark North Sea Brent crude for May delivery hit $50.05 per barrel, its lowest value since late November.

This is part 1 of a 3-part series.
A year and a half ago I posted "GoC Web 2.0 wish list". The responses from the post were awesome, especially responses I received in person. Although I'm reluctant to look at that list again, fearing many of the wishes hadn't come true, I think it's still a very relevant post. I'm happy that some of the items did come true (DFAIT is on Twitter!), others half-true (Privy Council Office is starting to come around on Web 2.0), while others remain still a wish (Natural Resources Canada lost their pioneering collaborating Deputy Minister Cassie Doyle and the Canada School of Public Service still doesn't offer Web 2.0 courses).
But nonetheless, kicking off 2011, here you go, another list.
Part 1: Departments at the center
#1: Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS): make a choice: either Control OR Measure.
As the Government of Canada's program reviewer and accountability guard of government departments, it plays both roles as coach and judge. If departments are playing hockey, TBS sets the rules and policies on the very ice that they themselves created (through the Management Accountability Frameworks). But the world of public administration is a complex one, and the game continually changes. While TBS can change the rules and adjust the boundaries, they're also keeping track of the score. Unfortunately they are left with narrower options to both pull departments into compliance and push them into accountability. The usual options are rejecting proposals, reducing options, lowering budgets and limiting discretionary decision-making authority, evident with TBS' attempts to both control and measure Web 2.0/Social media adoption by departments.
Government departments face tough choices to make on Web 2.0: adopt it and face consequences, or [continue] to wait for policies (and blessings) from TBS, all the while facing ever-increasing criticisms from the cynical populace and hits from TBS on program implementation. TBS both controls and measures departments, and departments either push the barriers, abide and wait, or take risks, venture forth and face the consequences.This pattern risks repeating itself with the next wave of change facing the public service.
What's the solution? For TBS to make a strategic choice, between control or measurement of departments.
If the choice is to control, then they need to walk quietly but carry a big stick, as the long administrative arm of the Privy Council Office. Penalise non-compliance, reward compliance. Departments didn't understand the rules? Ask for clarification. Unsure? Ask for clarification. Can't comply? Ask for permission. Don't comply? Program is under review next year. Not much different.
If the choice is measure (a better choice, in my opinion), then promote understanding of the policies, promote departments to organically organise to discuss policies, adopt those that are common among the departments, and always encourage collaboration among the departments. Understand that measurement is not a means of control, but a verification of the effectiveness of the policy (under the agreeable presumption that the department seeks to abide by the policies- a much larger discussion). Beyond that, the sky's the limit, and departments can aspire to do what they can to achieve their mandate for the benefit of the government as a whole and for the Canadian citizens they serve.
Another benefit includes line departments directors in being less stressed when they get a call from TBS.
#2: Privy Council Office (PCO): Adopt Openness, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Open Data
I know, it's difficult to keep the words "Open" and "Privy" in the same sentence, but there's a big wave of change happening across democratic governments, large and small. In Canada alone, British Columbia has joined the Open Data fold, with more and more Canadian cities declaring themselves Open Data Cities (such as Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver). With so many departments and agencies in GoC, Open Data can be adopted by the government, in big and small ways. For some departments it's a sensible and necessary fit; Environment Canada and NRCan have been active in the Open Data arena before it was called Open Data. As Canadian Open Data pioneer David Eaves has shown, by charting the Federal Government's (lack of) Open Data adoption on DataDotGC.ca, the federal government has a lot to do. Because Open Data has yet to be adopted by the federal government (it's inevitable, really), it's either because it's being blocked (no doubt with PMO direction as well) or delayed. Instead of blocking it outright, the hope here is that PCO allows a department (or two) to try out Open Data, and find out it's not the end of the world for the government, but a promise for better services for citizens, and engagement by citizens.
#3:Public Service Commission (PSC): Place a value on computer skills
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: PSC ought to place as a qualification on new recruits to the public service (especially at the executive level), skills with computers. As the "independent agency…that works with departments and agencies to recruit and appoint qualified persons to the Public Service of the Government of Canada", this is squarely within their mandate. By placing a value on computer skills, departments can then quit asking their techies to reduce computers to mundane basic operations, trying to keep the screensaver-virus-clicking analysts away from government computers.
Every time I've been on a project with computer-literate govvies, I've thoroughly enjoyed the experience of fully tapping into our productive and collaborative potential, without having our efforts boiled down to the lowest-common-computer skills among us. Maybe you've noticed as well the difference in the capacity of a director because they hired an administrative assistant who knew their way around their Public Words-issued Dell $2000 computer. Sometimes this difference results in a week's worth of worksaved because they knew how to print your briefing note when the printer was offline. Or they saved thousands of dollars because they knew the modern office photocopier can fax too. Or they know how to work from home and still keep the office moving smoothly. Imagine if everyone had the basic knowledge for using computers, just how low the barriers to using social media and collaborative tools would be (not so many: "No way! I'll break it!" or "Another tool I need to use?")
At the analyst level, as knowledge-workers, the imperative to know how to work with information in different forms, in different software, on different systems is important. I hope computer skills become regarded as a necessary skill for hiring into the federal government, or at least as necessary as writing and communication are.
Up next: Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), the Canada School of Public Service (CSPS), the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (OPC), and Library and Archives Canada (LAC).

Globe World Cup Skateboarding ReturnsTo Melbourne, Australia February 14, 2004
For the third year in a row, the Globe World Cup Skateboarding contest brings the world's best international skateboarders to the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia for the kick-off of the 2004 World Cup Skateboarding series. On Saturday, February 14th , fans will once again be treated to the biggest names, largest payout and best contest to date, however, this year Globe World Cup Skateboarding returns with a completely new approach; the all-new "Street Riot event.
Developed as a contest for skateboarders, by skateboarders, "Street Riot will stage an invitation-only street competition with some of the biggest rock stars in the sport already signed up to attend. Names like Danny Way, Tom Penny, Eric Koston, Chad Muska, Geoff Rowley, Ryan Sheckler, Andrew Reynolds, Dustin Dollin and Greg Lutzka are already confirmed to compete. Add to that a USD$66,500 prize purse for both the "Street Riot event and the Gallaz Skate Jam, World Cup Skateboarding ranking points and wrap it all up with a huge line-up of parties ending in the 9th annual 900 Degrees bash, and you have the "can't miss event of 2004.
"Last year we had over 18,000 skateboard fans from around the country witness an unbelievable event, said Globe World Cup Skateboarding event director Steve Douglas. "The finals received a full-house standing ovation which was a World Cup Skateboarding first. This year, with the high-quality field that will be coming, fans will again get to see the best in the world. Many of the skaters attending this year's event, like Muska and Penny, have not competed in contests for years, and never in Australia, so it will be a special treat for skateboarding fans to see their heroes in action.
Skaters for the high-profile "Street Riot contest have been hand picked for the 'invite-only' final. In addition, a select field of invited skaters will compete for the remaining wild card positions before moving on to skate against the invited top 8 and battle it out for the USD$20,000 first-place prize in the finals. In addition to the international line-up, two Australians will be selected to compete from the twelve state finalists of the Australian Skateboarding Title series that will take place nationally this Australian Summer.
"We're calling the event "Street Riot because we will see the absolute best street skateboarders in the world competing on a course we have worked with Dave Duncan of World Cup Skateboarding to build added Douglas. "The invitees are the A-list of skateboarding and include legendary vert skater and current World Record Holder Danny Way, 2003 X Games Gold Medallist Eric Koston and the newly crowned 2003 World Cup Skateboarding Champion Ryan Sheckler.
Practice and media sessions will be held on Friday, February 13th with the event itself being held on Valentine's Day, February 14th. The tight format, quality of riders and venue, and the Australian crowds who have proven they want to see top quality skateboarding will make sure this is an event not to be missed.
Fans can also join in the pure skateboarding mayhem by entering to win a grand prize five-day, four-night trip for two to the "Street Riot contest in Melbourne including airfare, hotel accommodations and premium tickets to the event. Nineteen first-place winners will also be chosen who can enter to win a special footwear and clothing package from Globe. Presented by Globe in conjunction with Transworld Skateboarding, fans can log on to www.globeshoes.com, www.skateboarding.com or www.globeworldcup.com
For additional contest details and restrictions log on to www.globeworldcup.com/sweepstakes/ .
All of the skateboarding and behind-the-scenes action at "Street Riot will be captured on film for broadcast on television and DVD in Springg 2004. Log on to www.globeworldcup.com today for info and updates on the 2004 "Street Riot event.
Confirmed skaters to date: Danny Way, Tom Penny, Eric Koston, Geoff Rowley, Dustin Dollin, Chad Muska, Tony Trujillo, Ryan Sheckler, Andrew Reynolds, Mark Appleyard, Chris Senn, Rick McCrank, Arto Saari, Greg Lutzka, Ali Boulala, Paul Machnau, Bastien Salabanzi, Mike Vallely, Tosh Townend, Matt Mumford, Chad Bartie, Chad Fernandez, Chris Haslam, Carlos de Andrade, Daniel Viera and Colt Cannon

CRESTVIEW � The Community Redevelopment Agency agreed Monday evening to defer discussion of a proposed skate park and dog park until its April 8 meeting.
CRESTVIEW � The Community Redevelopment Agency agreed Monday evening to defer discussion of a proposed skate park and dog park until its April 8 meeting.
The decision came because a final report is unready for consideration; additionally, the deferral will allow the new board to be seated after it takes office April 1.
Public Works Director Wayne Steele said he and police officer Sam Kimmons met with student skaters at Crestview High School, who offered input on the skate park's amenities. A set of stairs topped the students� wishlist.
"It's one of the main obstacles they like to go down," Steele said, adding the kids requested "at least five" steps.
Stairs were already among the park�s features under consideration. The kids responded enthusiastically to the proposed skate park, he said.
The proposed skate park and dog park would be adjacent to each other and situated on Twin Hills Park�s north side.
Steele said he has also discussed Garden Park improvements with representatives of the Dogwood Garden Club, which collaborates with the city to beautify the triangular public space at the foot of Main Street.
After the park�s April 25 dedication, club members and Public Works staff will meet to create a master plan for park improvements, Steele said.
Among considerations would be signage at the park�s south tip identifying the entrance to historic downtown Crestview. A possible digital panel would promote downtown festivals and events. Councilman Tim Grandberry has frequently requested such a sign.
Crestview City Council members also sit as the CRA board. The new council, including three new members, will be seated April 1.

Are the Mayans right? Will the world end on December 21st, 2012? This date is regarded as the end-date of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar. Various astronomical alignments and numerological formulae have been proposed as pertaining to this date, though none have been accepted by mainstream scholarship. NASA says the whole thing is "bunk" and December 21st, 2012 will be just another day.
This might be all the time we have left in the world:

Have You Heard About… Gulp
… the glorious workings of the human digestive system? Mary Roach scores again with her latest offbeat foray into the world of science – Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal.
As usual, Mary Roach tackles the surprising, taboo, and slightly disgusting aspects of human life with surprising humor and undisguised glee. And having learned my lesson from reading Stiff, I made sure not to read this book while eating…the life of the human digestive system does not make for pleasant mealtime reading.
Among the topics covered are: the appeal of crunchy foods, why the stomach does not digest itself, how much you can eat before your stomach bursts, and whether or not constipation actually killed Elvis. In fact, there's a significant amount of writing dedicated to the size of Elvis's colon, much more than I ever thought there could be on that particular subject.
The amount of research that Mary Roach does in preparation for this book is staggering and quite frankly, a little frightening. You'll have to read the book yourself to find out exactly what she does in the name of science and where she draws the research line in order to avoid frightening her colleagues. That, my friends, is dedication and I sincerely hope she had as much fun writing this book as I did reading it!

Updated: 11:55 a.m.
T-Paw is heading to K Street.
Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, once a rumored contender to be GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney's running mate, is taking over the top slot at the Financial Services Roundtable.
The trade association announced today that Pawlenty, who spent much of the past two years pursuing his own White House ambitions, will become president and CEO effective Nov. 1. He replaces former Rep. Steve Bartlett (R-Texas), who had announced his retirement earlier this year.
Because it is a bipartisan organization, Pawlenty said today that he has notified the Romney campaign that he is stepping down as its national co-chairman now.
He also said that in order to take on the top slot at the financial services group, he has agreed that he will not join the Romney administration should the former Massachusetts governor win the election in November.
"They were very gracious," Pawlenty said of the Romney campaign. "They understood it was a career decision."
During today's press conference at the roundtable's downtown Washington, D.C., headquarters, Pawlenty added that he continues to support Romney for president.
Thomas Wilson, CEO of Allstate Corp. and chairman of the Financial Services Roundtable, said the lobby group selected Pawlenty because he has a record of getting people to work together and can help the industry improve its reputation and to advocate "firm but fair regulation."
"He's a good leader, and he's a student of the business," Wilson told reporters.
As for improving the industry's reputation inside the Beltway and with the American people, Pawlenty said he had offered a simple prescription during his interview process: "Stop doing stupid things." He said that financial services companies can help propel the economy by helping businesses grow.
"These financial institutions are the fuel that goes into that engine," he said. But, he noted, "You earn trust; you don't just get it."
Pawlenty, 51, said negotiations for the roundtable job began "months ago," when the search firm Korn/Ferry International first reached out to him.
A spokesman for the organization declined to disclose Pawlenty's salary package. Bartlett's compensation in 2010, according to IRS forms, was more than $1.8 million.
Unlike some former high-level government officials, Pawlenty said he expects that he will register as a federal lobbyist as part of his new job.
He said he plans to maintain his Minnesota residence because he has a daughter completing high school there, but he plans to find housing in the D.C. area as well.
When asked what his biggest hurdle would be in making the transition from public sector to a top-tier K Streeter, Pawlenty quipped: "Finding an affordable place to live." But, he added, more seriously: "Delving into the financial services industry will require some ramp-up time."
Pawlenty said Bartlett, during his 12 years at the helm of the group, had done a remarkable job and that he was eager to build on what he had done.
"We have a lot of work to do," Pawlenty said of his new assignment. "But also a lot of opportunities."
Bartlett, who hailed the selection of Pawlenty, was coy about his next step. But he said he planned to announce a new career in January.
"It will be significant," the one-time mayor of Dallas said.

I'm a bit late with this, considering that 10.04 is out already, but it will be interesting how people have found 10.04 to stack up against 9.10.
From Tanner Helland who previously wrote 10 Days of Ubuntu 10.10 Feature Requests, this is a Dear John-style letter about how the author is finding it difficult to love Ubuntu in the face of the severe problems with 9.10, and just how good Windows 7 is.
(Disclaimer: Tanner is a friend whose site, and this good article, would not normally get picked up by the usual newsrounds so I'm featuring this article on that basis)
...but wait. That's not actually relevant. See, my friends and family aren't comparing you to Vista any longer – they're comparing you to Windows 7.
And frankly, Windows 7 is a great operating system.
The world has moved on. Ubuntu has had a long time to build a lead with XP being stagnant for almost five years and Vista being a bit of a non-starter, but now Microsoft have 'got their act together' and Windows 7 is proving to be a solid release that consumers are welcome.
It's not that Ubuntu doesn't have a lot to offer, quite the opposite! The issue is that the majority of users are going to purchase a computer that comes preloaded with Windows 7. What incentive would they have to download and install another operating system, if Windows 7 is for the better part reliable, secure and enjoyable?
But wait, you say – there's still the issue of stability. Haven't you always excelled when it comes to stability, especially when compared to Windows?
As I've mentioned, I'm not sure you provide a better alternative at this point. In my experience, Windows 7 is remarkably solid. You, my friend, have not been. I sincerely hope 10.04 is more stable than 9.10 – and I imagine it will be – but you know what? The bar's been raised. We can continue to mock Vista for the unstable mess that it was, but when it comes to Windows 7, the average user isn't complaining about stability.
Tanner also brings up the recent minor developer fallout as having a damaging effect on Ubuntu—building strong relationships was one of Tanner's requests in 10 days of feature requests for Ubuntu 10.10, and ignoring developer's input doesn't help.
All in all, Ubuntu is seen as the poster child for Linux. Will this always be the case, and are the cracks beginning to show?

Interlibrary Loan - Is This How It's Supposed to Work?
It's not available anywhere online, but I found several libraries across the country that have it. I found the request for Interlibrary Loan on my local library's web site, filled out all of the information, sat back and waited.
The response I received said that one of the libraries that my library contacted would photocopy the table of contents and index for me for $20. Then, if I were to pick out some names, they would photocopy those pages only for $20. The fees aren't my concern with the process. The request form asked how much I'd be willing to pay to get the book and I said $35, and if it was more than that to let me know.
I guess I thought that Interlibrary Loan meant that this other library would send their copy of the book to my library and I could go to the library to read the entire book. I would understand if I wouldn't be able to check the book out and only be able to use it within the library.
What bothers me about not being able to review the entire book is because the research I've discovered refutes quite a bit of the information in this original family history. And that is based only on the snippets I've been able to access on Google books. Very few of the "facts" in this book about my great grandparents are accurate. Names and locations are incorrect. In fact, there is a documented incident of one of my ancestors killing his daughter and then committing suicide. The family history book I'm trying to locate tells the story differently - that the father drowned while trying to save his daughter from drowning while she was swimming. The newspaper accounts of the day confirm that he drowned - by suicide - after killing his daughter with an axe. How many people do you know who go swimming in Pennsylvania in February?
Ever since locating this family history on Google books, I've wanted to look at the entire book. I'm not sure how much of it is accurate after the differences I've discovered between it and my own research. But I want to read the whole thing! Even if there are errors in it, there are still probably some clues that I could follow. What's interesting is that the book was never published until after the author was dead.
I would appreciate input from my fellow genealogists regarding their experiences with Interlibrary Loan. Is my experience typical or do you usually actually get the book sent to your local library? I suppose that if I really want to read the book, I'm going to have to plan a trip to St. Louis (8 hour drive) to read it in their library. That's the closest library I've found that has it.
Please leave your Comments below - I look forward to hearing about your experiences.
7 comments:
I've only done interlibrary loan once and the book was sent to my library and I was able to take it home and keep it for 3 weeks. If I wanted to renew for another 3 weeks, no problem! That's been a few years ago. Maybe things have changed? I was pretty shocked to read your post and see the charges!ReplyDelete
Susan, I've used it several times...once I had to use the book in the library (to where it was sent) and the other time, I was able to take it home. It depends on the rules of the lending library. I highly recommend it.ReplyDelete
This exact same thing has happened to me a couple of times. And like you, it was the money I was concerned about - I just wanted to read the damn book! You don't mention trying different avenues to get ahold of this book. Here's a couple that have brought me luck:
Used book stores, ebay, BYU has loads of family histories and genealogies digitized and online. Internet Archive puts hundreds of books online everyday. University libraries in their special collections. Have you tried the Family History Library in Salt Lake? Maybe it has been filmed? That should keep you busy for awhile LOL
Greetings Susan,ReplyDelete
Have you tried searching for the title on Abe Books ? For the amount of money that this other library wants you to pay for photocopying It might be worth it just to purchase the book yourself.
Ah, yes. I've tried eBay, Abe, Alibris, Amazon, Bookins, World Cat, you name it! However, I do believe in synchronicity when it comes to my genealogy research and I know that this book will wind up in my hands eventually! I may follow-up with the local librarian and see if she will try one of the other 11 repositories that have the book. Otherwise, it's a trip to St. Louis to read it there and visit a cousin while I'm in town. :-)ReplyDelete
Many libraries, in fact, most, will not loan genealogy books. These are deemed too important to their collections to interlibrary loan and trust to mailing, mis-handling, any other of a long list of possible problems with the interlibrary loan.ReplyDelete
Double check with Mid-Continent Library, Inpendence MO, they have a collection of genealogy books that they maintain JUST for interlibrary loan. That collection is SEPERATE from thier main genealogy collection. You may or may not find it listed on World Cat. Also, check LDS to see if it has been filmed.
Or visit your cousin, with lots of change in your pocket for copy purposes.
I once had to visit the library in Dallas Texas to view the ONLY copy of a book I wanted to look at. I copied the whole thing.
Interlibrary loan policies vary by library and depend on the item. Sometimes you can request items from nearby libraries. Sometimes you can request items from far away libraries. Sometimes libraries will copy pages, like the experience you've had. Sometimes the items are rare and not circulated at all.ReplyDelete
It wouldn't hurt to contact the nearest (or biggest) library by you and see what can be done.
Also, if either of the big genealogy libraries near me has it (use zip 77004 in WorldCat), I'd be happy to look at it for you before you plunk down the $.

10 Colorful & Inspiring Kitchens from Our Readers
Our sister site Apartment Therapy is running their Room for Color contest, an annual celebration of color in the home in all its incarnations, from soft and subtle to bold and bright. And of course we're most interested in the kitchens, so we went looking for our favorite kitchens in this contest. Want to see what we found?
There's a bright, modern kitchen done up in chartreuse, and a sleek space with a pop of red in the kitchen rug. There's a bold blue and brown kitchen, and another inspired by a Tiffany jewel box. Another kitchen reminds me of a Penguin paperback book. All use color in interesting ways; it's amazing what a little paint can do! Come take a peek into all 10 of these colorful, real-life kitchens.
• 1 Monica's "Soft Chartreuse and Palest Beach Glass" Room - A Wisconsin kitchen, full of light and happy color.
• 2 Cindy's "Reserved Suzani" Room - I just love this room: the kitchen open to the table and the living area, and the quiet neutrals livened up by that pop of red.
• 3 Emily's "Appetizing Retro Fun" Kitchen - This kitchen is colorful enough to stand up to Seattle's gray winters. The floating cabinets were built by a previous owner; aren't they beautiful?
• 4 Bridget's "Jewel Box" Room - A room inspired by the greenish-blue of Tiffany's jewel boxes.
• 5 Anna's "Whimsical Color" Room - Apple green and red lighten up Anna's old-fashioned woodwork and cabinets.
• 6 Cory's "Orange with a Kick" Room - I never thought I would say it, but I love these orange stripes! With the grey, they remind me of the old Penguin paperback book design.
• 7 Beth's "Cottage in Provence" Room - An amazing space, warm and reminiscent of the traditional colors of Southern France.
• 8 Michele's "Happy Daze in Austin" Room - Vintage orange and green are playful and cheery.
• 9 Kristina's "Cuban Vacation" Room - A pop of mustard level helps the living room transition into the bar and kitchen area.
• 10 Nick's "Modern Gray" Room - A more subtle palette, and interesting for the way the kitchen was designed to flow together visually with the dining and living spaces.
• See all the Room for Color entries: Room for Color 2011

Dibond Aluminum Artwork Print
This artwork is museum-quality printed by infusing the inks directly onto specially coated sheets of aluminum. Detail and resolution are impressive and have a magical radiance.
