Katharine Viner, the Guardian's deputy editor, will be relocating to Sydney to head up and launch the venture later this year, which follows publisher Guardian News &amp; Media's move to. Paul Chadwick, the outgoing at Australian public service broadcaster ABC, will become a non-executive director of Guardian Australia. "This is such an exciting time to be launching the Guardian in Australia,cheap louis vuitton," said Viner.

The precise number of staff GNM plans to hire for Guardian Australia was not revealed.

Iranian foreign ministry spokesman
So, who were they at last? Pilgrims or members of 's Revolutionary Guards? The identities of 48 Iranian nationals who were released from after a prisoner swap, brokered by Turkish aid workers and Qatar, are gradually emerging. Syrian rebels behind the kidnapping of the Iranians from a bus in the suburbs of Damascus alleged that their captives were sent to help the Assad regime crush its opponents. Iran denied this but said some were retired Revolutionary Guards,ralph lauren outlet. According to Tehran, the Iranian nationals were pilgrims on their way to the shrine of Hazrat Zainab, a popular destination in Syria for devout Shia Iranians,cheap gucci handbags. Last week,ugg boots sale, more than 2,gucci outlet,100 opposition prisoners, including Turkish nationals, who were held captive for five months. It is not unusual of Iranian pilgrims to ignore warnings about travelling to conflict zones. In the turbulent years following the US invasion of Iraq, many Iranians travelled to the country's Shia sites although some were killed in bombings. But Iranian websites are exposing the identity of the former captives of the Syrian rebels,christian louboutin shoes, making clear that, in fact, a number of them are currently working for the Revolutionary Guards. It's not clear how many were actual pilgrims. Digarban, a website that monitors the country's conservatives and their online activities,louis vuitton handbags, reported that at least seven guards commanders were among the released prisoners. "Abedin Khoram,gucci shoes, the [current] commander of the Revolutionary Guards' division in Orumieh �� is among those released who have returned to Iran,Ugg Boots Sale UK,". The website names a number of other people linked to the elite force who are either current or former members. Some of the identities are apparently exposed inadvertently when faces are revealed in welcoming ceremonies held in their hometown or in reports on local news websites. Iranian officials have so far refused to publish the full list of those who were held in Syria,cheap gucci bags. In the nearly two years conflict in Syria, Iran has stood firm by Bashar al-Assad and is accused by the west of militarily supporting his regime,polo ralph lauren outlet. Iran initially denied the accusations but in May, a senior Revolutionary Guards commander that Iranian forces were operating in Syria in support of the Assad regime. "If the Islamic republic was not present in Syria, the massacre of people would have happened on a much larger scale," said Ismail Gha'ani, the deputy head of Iran's Quds force, the arm of the guards tasked with overseas operations. Commenting on the release of those held in Damascus, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman, Ramin Mehmanparast, told on Monday: "Abducting innocent people to exert political pressure on the [Syrian] establishment is an inhumane means; and with the help of other countries we should prevent such acts." 相关的主题文章：  Colosseum-style circus that is Wall Street</li> In years to come</li> wrote on his website</li> </ul>

they continue
Albert Macia is on the board of an IT multinational. Joan Cabanas is an industrial engineer doing project management in the electrical insulation sector. After a long career working for assorted multinationals, Joan Canadell is now a consultant. And Ramir de Porrate runs a successful radio frequency systems startup. The four are leading lights in the Catalan Business Circle, an employers organisation uniting 700 small and medium-sized firms who argue – with figures to back it up – that independence is now the region's best and only option. They cite, first, the stats: represents 8% of 's territory, 16% of its population, 20% of its GDP, 25% of its tax revenues, and 35% of its exports (and 45% of high-tech exports). In return, it receives (in theory; the real figure may be much less) 11% of government investment,polo ralph lauren. Beyond the figures, says Cabanas, "the real problem is that our economic model is so different to Spain's. Catalonia's companies tend to be small, innovative, export-oriented. Spain's model is big, listed companies, often once state-owned,coach bags, and still with strong connections to the state. So Madrid's economic policies are just not suited to us,ugg boots sale." Worse, says Amacia, central government policies are not suited to Spain either. "They don't know about competitiveness, they don't know about profitability," he says,christian louboutin shoes. "They don't invest productively or sensibly. For 35 years we've been waiting for a freight rail link from Valencia and Tarragona up to the rest of . Instead they build high-speed trains to Galicia." Over the past 10 years, the businessmen claim, Catalonia has paid nearly twice as much into Spanish coffers as the EU. "It's not that we don't want to contribute," says Canadell. "But we don't want to contribute to a model that doesn't work, and that is counter-productive to our model." The Catalan economy, says De Porrate,gucci handbags, is "compressed – cramped by the fiscal deficit with Spain, the lack of infrastructure, the fact that everything Madrid spends is invested politically, like bailing out Bankia, rather than economically. Profitability is not a word Madrid understands." Freed of these shackles, the men argue, an independent Catalonia could afford to promote economic growth by investing properly in infrastructure, cutting corporate taxes (and high company social security contributions) and kick-starting currently non-existent lending to small and medium-sized businesses. The credit ratings agencies would see it meant business. What's more, says De Porrete, it should attract a high score from the outset: with a GDP of ?200bn and a total debt (combining the autonomous Catalan government's own debt with a proportional chunk of the Spanish state's, which realistically an independent Catalonia would have to assume) of ?160bn, its debt ratio would be around 80%: below the EU average. "An independent Catalonia would have a reasonable debt level, and with income higher than debt it would have the capacity to repay,cheap louboutin shoes," he says. "Who would not lend to it?" Perhaps more controversially,cheap christian louboutin shoes, the group believes independence would be good not only for Catalonia but, longer term, for Spain and for the EU. "As soon as Spain doesn't have the Catalonian powerhouse, it will have to change," says De Porrete. "It will have to set about serious reforms, become efficient, think about productivity and profitability,christian louboutin sale. You can't build an economy on tourism and the construction sector." And a more efficient and competitive Spain, they continue, is clearly good for Europe and the euro. "An independent Catalonia is a huge opportunity, for Catalonia of course, but also for Spain, for Europe – for London," says Cabanas. Nor do they believe that when it comes to it,ralph lauren outlet, Spain will block independence or veto an independent Catalonia's entry into the EU. Catalonia, they say, has two vital bargaining chips: "Some 70% of the rest of Spain's exports pass through Catalonia," says De Porrete. "Once we leave, the first country who's served by us being in Europe is Spain." And as long as Spain does not recognise Catalonia, "Catalonia will not assume any of Spain's debts," says Cabanas. "With 20% of its GDP gone, how else can Spain repay its debts? Madrid will have to recognise us." In fact Catalonian independence, these men argue, could and should be the EU's solution to part of its southern Europe problem. They have no doubts – none whatsoever – that it will come,ralph lauren outlet online. "It's unstoppable now," says Canadell. "I think in one or two years, max. And within a year we'll have a declaration that we are heading for independence. You wait." ?

while he's against Michael Gove's academies and
Just before I went to see Stephen Twigg, the shadow education secretary, I received a letter from a Guardian reader, which I took with me and read to him. "Ihave written three times to MrMiliband and twice to Mr Twigg to ask what is the Labour party policy about, free , privatisation. I have had no reply." A later email (which I also read to Twigg) criticised "paralysis in Labour ",louboutin shoes. My correspondent, I pointed out, was not alone among teachers and party activists in his frustration; even senior party figures acknowledge the direction of Labour education policy is unclear. Since his appointment in October 2011, Twigg has seemed to say that, while he's against Michael Gove's academies and, he wouldn't close or change their status if he came to power and may even approve new ones. So what exactly is the difference between Labour and Tory education policies? After all, academies were started by Labour, with some of the first opening while Twigg was an education minister from 2002 to 2005. "The fundamental difference," Twigg says, "is that we were trying to help schools that were struggling. We did it on a planned basis. We didn't just say let a thousand flowers bloom. It was a partnership with local government, and not about imposing something from the centre. Lots of free schools are being built in areas which have spare capacity. We voted against free schools. But some very pragmatic people are saying a free school is the only way to get money for new provision. I'm not going to criticise those people. It's a perfectly understandable thing to do." As one newspaper commentator has put it, Twigg's position is that he loves the sinners but hates the sin. Isn't that too nuanced for public consumption? "I plead guilty to nuance," beams Twigg, who is so affable a man that you want to shout something like "lying Blairite bastard" just to see if he gets angry. "In 2015, we're going to have several thousand academies. It's not going to be straightforward to undo that. But we would apply to them standards that are now restricted to community schools: nutritional standards, for example. Equally, we'd extend the academies' freedoms on the national curriculum to all schools." Local accountability Would Labour return the Gove academies to local councils? In his Caroline Benn memorial lecture last year, Twigg said that "today, hardly anyone thinks that local authorities should directly run schools". But he insists "local democratic accountability is important, and we're consulting on that". He continues: "In the name of freedom and a market, what we've got is centralisation of power in the office of secretary of state. I don't want that. I want to give power away." Every politician, I point out, says that in opposition. "If I get the opportunity," declares Twigg, "you can hold me to it." Is Gove right to get rid of ? "Not in the way he's doing it. He intends to rely almost exclusively on an exam at the end of two years. It's vitally important to have something that looks at coursework." Will Labour abolish exams at 16? "That isn't my starting point. When we're moving towards a leaving age of 18, we don't need to focus on any particular age. There's an argument for stages rather than ages, so that young people are assessed when they're ready. We're having a process, engaging with people. We're not just coming up with a plan and saying here it is, as Gove did." Twigg is exasperatingly reasonable and, according to Labour colleagues, naturally thoughtful and measured. "He's not the sort to rush into something just so he can get a headline," I was told. Nor is he is the sort to stumble into indiscretion. Though still only 46, he is a political veteran. His career could be the model for a modern Labour politician: comprehensive school followed by PPE at Oxford; the presidency of the National Union of Students; a seat on a London council (Islington) at 25; work for Amnesty International; research for a Labour MP (Margaret Hodge); head of two thinktanks (the Fabian Society and, later, the Foreign Policy Centre). He is widely regarded as the purest of Blairites, who voted for the elder Miliband in the 2010 leadership election. For all his affability, Twigg knows about the darker side of politics. He helped to get a fellow Islington councillor de-selected as a parliamentary candidate in 1997 for being too leftwing, and to prevent Ken Livingstone standing as Labour candidate for London mayor in 2000. "There were things I was part of back then upon which I should have reflected more,polo ralph lauren outlet," he told the Times in 2005. Leftwing politics was bred into him. His father was an insurance broker, his mother an accounts clerk. Both were members of the Communist party, albeit on the revisionist Euro wing, which regularly criticised the Soviet bloc. They sold the Morning Star in the local shopping centre in Enfield, the north London suburb where Twigg grew up and went to school. He was taken on anti-racist demonstrations during primary school. For his 14th birthday, he precociously asked for Tony Benn's Arguments for Socialism. At 15, he joined Labour, inspired by Benn's "passion and clarity",polo ralph lauren. But he soon decided Neil Kinnock, then confronting the party's hard left, offered the best way forward. "My mum was very disappointed in me. She thought Kinnock a terrible sell-out and we had arguments about it." By 16, he was secretary of his local ward party and, by 17,Ralph Lauren Sale, an annual conference delegate. Was he already thinking of a political career? "No, I wanted to be a lawyer,louis vuitton outlet. But my A-level economics teacher said I'd be bored stiff doing law at university, so I should apply to Oxford for PPE, which hadn't been in my mind at all, because nobody at my school had ever been to Oxford. There was never a Michael Heseltine-style life plan." He realised he was gay in his mid-teens but confided in just one girl, who had told him one of her friends fancied him. "She knew ahead of anyone else for quite a long time. I was very scared to come out at school,louis vuitton Replica." He told his family while he was taking. "I had the opposite experience to a lot of people,louis vuitton Wallet. My father was fantastic about it but my mother was dreadful. She couldn't deal with it at all. She died in 1992 and never came to terms with my sexuality." British society, however, was changing dramatically. When Twigg stood as Labour candidate for Enfield in 1997, Labour's Ben Bradshaw faced homophobic attacks while fighting in Exeter. Twigg and other gay candidates signed a Times letter in solidarity,Cheap Ugg Boots. "I'm gay, admits Labour candidate," the local paper screamed, and Twigg says: "I wondered what the reaction would be, but there was no negativity at all." He unseated the Tory cabinet minister Michael Portillo on a 17% swing. "I was completely and utterly surprised," he says, and his astonished face as the result was announced became the election's iconic image. He was almost as surprised when he increased his majority in 2001 and surprised again when he lost in 2005. "I thought I'd cling on. I had a false sense of security. Rationally,christian louboutin sneakers, I knew I'd lost for political reasons, but because I was a local boy in Enfield it felt more personal. It was a horrible period of my life." He was arrested and fined for drunkenness in a public place during the following Christmas party season. He admitted to a reporter that, "for a while", he'd been drinking more than he should. Overtaken Some commentators thought the 1997 victory did him little good. If he had won a safe seat in 2001, he would probably have been in the cabinet by the end of the 2005-10 parliament,coach outlet. In the event, he was out of parliament for five years before he was returned for a Liverpool seat in 2010. The boy wonder of 1997 was overtaken by contemporaries (Ed Miliband is three years younger) who were elected later. But Twigg made the junior ministerial ranks in 2001-05, first as deputy leader of the Commons under Robin Cook, then as an education minister, with a motley bag of responsibilities that included sex, drugs and alcohol teaching. I asked him for his greatest ministerial achievement and he unhesitatingly replied it was the London Challenge, a remarkably successful initiative, for which he had specific responsibility, to improve exam results in the capital's schools. He is equally clear about his greatest mistake: agreeing to the rejection of the Tomlinson report on 14-19 education in 2004. Tomlinson proposed overlapping academic and vocational diplomas, of which GCSEs and A-levels would be "components" rather than free-standing qualifications. "We lost an opportunity," says Twigg, "to get a set of qualifications that were fit for purpose, especially in technical and practical areas of the curriculum". So he would scrap A-levels? "I don't think that's the answer. A-levels aren't the problem with our system, the problem is we haven't got the technical and practical subjects right." And we never will, some may say, as long as A-levels survive as separate qualifications, widely perceived as superior. But Twigg won't risk the negative headlines. I ask him to sum up Labour's policies in a sentence and he says: "The key to good education, whatever the sign outside the school says, is the quality of teaching and leadership inside it and, therefore, we shall focus on how we can raise the status of the teaching profession." Which, while it will not satisfy those, like my correspondent, who yearn for a red-blooded denunciation of what amounts to Tory privatisation of schools, may be good enough for most parents and teachers. What it amounts to in practice we shall discover only when and if Twigg becomes secretary of state. Gove believes his changes will prove irreversible, like the switch to comprehensives in the 1960s, and Twigg does not sound determined to prove him wrong. But on that night in Enfield nearly 16 years ago, he surprised us all. Perhaps, in office, he can surprise us again. 相关的主题文章：  what if</li> But the circus will move on. “How many inquiries have you done.</li> negligence or breach of statutory duty</li> </ul>

irritated and angered.
&#8220;It would probably be best for the military if they could execute Bales right now and send his pieces to Afghanistan.&#8221; That’s what National Veterans Foundation founder Floyd Meshad told me this week while we were talking about Staff Sergeant Robert Bales and the insanity or diminished-capacity defense. Bales was earlier this month in Kandahar. With the politics, with the foreign relations involved, with the exceptionally high bar for proving lack of mental responsibility in military courts,, it&#8217;s likely Bales is going to end up taking sole responsibility for his actions in the upcoming trial. Which is too bad. Does this case involve war crimes of the highest and most horrific order? Absolutely. But was it all Bales&#8217;s fault? Probably not so much. Not given the chain of command that put him in a position to suffer such extreme levels of post-traumatic stress. There&#8217;s something of a frenzy of PTSD-research stories in the media this week. Of course, there’s no totally definitive extent to which any of these tricky neurological and psychological queries can be “proved,coach bags.” What we do know: that Bales served four tours of duty; ; and that traumatically injured brains do not operate like regular brains &#8212; because of altered cognitive functions, inconsistent memories, and the ease with which they&#8217;re overwhelmed, irritated and angered. A lot of service members overcome their injuries and disorders,ralph lauren polo, and reintegrate into their lives &#8212; bless their outstanding resilience. And very,Cheap Ugg Boots, very few have ever done something so abhorrent. But &#8220;as far as soldiers with PTSD going off the deep end, there&#8217;s no doubt that there&#8217;s a correlation,&#8221,cheap christian louboutin shoes; says Meshad,ugg boots uk sale, who was a mental health officer with experience extracting soldiers who&#8217;d &#8220;snapped&#8221,louis vuitton Replica; in Vietnam. After decades of treating, and being consulted for criminal trials involving, veterans with PTSD, he literally wrote the book on defending them. Obviously, most veterans with PTSD don’t commit a crime. But attorney Brockton Hunter,ralph lauren outlet online, who specializes in PTSD defense and co-wrote the Attorney&#8217;s Guide to Defending Veterans in Criminal Court with Meshad,ralph lauren polo, says that &#8220;historical research confirms waves of veteran-committed crimes after every major conflict.&#8221; The of a rash of violent crimes at Ft. Carson, Colorado, found a correlation between the number and intensity of soldiers’ deployments and “negative behavioral outcomes.” Hunter says: “In other words, the more you see, and do, in combat, the more likely you are to be affected by it and to act out in bad ways,polo ralph lauren outlet.” 相关的主题文章： <ul> <li>reaching the finals of the Masters Tennis in London in 2009.</li> <li>the year of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia</li> <li>- The Nikkei share average endedlower on Tuesday in volatile trade</li> </ul>

if Stray agrees with Siegler
has a great essay up at Nieman Lab entitled &#8220;Why link out? Four journalistic purposes of the noble hyperlink&#8221;. I basically agree with all of it; links are wonderful things, and the more of them that we see in news stories &#8212; especially if they&#8217;re external rather than internal links &#8212; the better. It&#8217;s very easy to agree that if a story refers to some other story or document, and if that other story or document is online, then it should be hyperlinked. But Stray goes further than that: "In theory, every statement in news writing needs to be attributed. “According to documents” or “as reported by” may have been as far as print could go, but that’s not good enough when the sources are online. I can’t see any reason why readers shouldn’t demand, and journalists shouldn’t supply, links to all online resources used in writing a story." Tellingly, Stray provides no hyperlinks at all for his assertion that &#8220;every statement in news writing needs to be attributed&#8221;. Is this really true? It certainly isn&#8217;t in the UK, where I come from. What&#8217;s more, even before the WSJ got taken over by foreign marauders like Rupert Murdoch and Robert Thomson, it followed this rule mostly just by inserting the stock phrase &#8220;according to people familiar with the situation&#8221; into any story. That phrase, of course, tells the reader exactly nothing. In recent days, a debate has emerged online on what I consider to be two very different subjects, which are getting unhelpfully elided. The first question, raised by, is whether outlets like the WSJ have an obligation to say who first broke a piece of news, when they report that news. The second question, which is often mistaken for the first, is whether outlets like the WSJ should link to outside sources of information. To the second question, my answer is simple: yes. But look at the by Jessica Vascellaro about Apple acquiring Chomp. There&#8217;s only one part of that story which obviously needs a hyperlink, if such a thing were available, and that&#8217;s in the first sentence, where we&#8217;re told that Apple said it has acquired Chomp. If there&#8217;s some kind of public press release from Apple saying such a thing, then the WSJ should link to it. But there isn&#8217;t, so the lack of any link there is forgivable. What Siegler wants is for extra text to be added in to Vascellaro&#8217;s story, saying that he first the news. And I&#8217;m pretty sure that Stray would want the same thing &#8212; after all, Vascellaro&#8217;s own does imply that she first got wind of the story online, before confirming it with Apple. If it was Siegler&#8217;s article which caused Vascellaro to call Apple, then Siegler certainly counts as an online resource used in writing the WSJ story, and should therefore, by Stray&#8217;s formulation, be fully linked and credited. On the other hand, if Stray agrees with Siegler, that doesn&#8217;t mean that Siegler agrees with Stray. Siegler cited no source at all, named or anonymous, for his scoop that Apple had bought Chomp: he simply asserted the fact. &#8220;Apple has bought the app search and discovery platform, we’ve learned.&#8221; If every statement in news writing needs to be attributed, then Siegler just failed that test,cheap gucci bags. But I don&#8217;t think it does. If you attribute a statement like that to &#8220;sources familiar with the situation&#8221;, or something along those lines,polo ralph lauren outlet, then the attribution looks a lot like a CYA move. Consider the difference between (a) &#8220;Apple has bought Chomp&#8221;, and (b) &#8220;Apple has bought Chomp, say sources familiar with the situation&#8221;. Technically speaking, if the sale falls through, then (a) is false, while (b) was actually true. In that sense, failing to provide attribution is a way of sticking your neck out and asserting news to be a fact. Here&#8217;s Siegler: "I reported the Apple acquisition of Chomp as a fact for good reason — It. Was. A. Fact. If I had reason to believe it may not be a done deal or not 100% certain, I would have said that. I did not because I didn’t need to." Not too long ago, I had a conversation with a journalist who was adamantly sticking up for her story in the face of criticism. The story included a statement of the form &#8220;X, says Y&#8221;, where Y was an anonymous source. Various other people were saying that X was not, in fact, true. But the journalist was standing firm. I then asked her whether she was standing firm on the statement &#8220;X, says Y&#8221;, which she reported &#8212; or whether she was standing firm on the statement that X. And here&#8217;s the thing that struck me: it took her a long time to even understand the distinction. A lot of American journalists stick the sourcing in there because they have to &#8212; but they very much consider themselves to be reporting news, and if X turned out not to be true, they would never consider their story to be correct, even if it were true that Y had indeed said that X.  Elsewhere, however, those conventions don&#8217;t hold. In a lot of political reporting, you have one person saying &#8220;X&#8221;, and another person saying &#8220;not-X&#8221;, and it&#8217;s left to the reader to decide whether one or the other or neither is telling the truth. And even facts can end up being attributed to people, which is even more confusing. Consider this, for instance, from a recent NYT article by : "The home ownership rate has been falling from its peak of 69.4 percent in 2004, according to census data. By the fourth quarter of 2011, it was down to 66 percent. That means about two million more households are renting, said Kenneth Rosen, an economist and professor of real estate at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley." This is Rosen&#8217;s only appearance in the article, and he&#8217;s not being used to give an opinion, or an expert analysis: he&#8217;s being used to count rental households. And, at least on the face of things, he&#8217;s not particularly good at that. According to the, there are 116,716,292 occupied housing units in America. So a basic back-of-the-envelope calculation would say that if the proportion of those units which went from owner-occupied to rented moved from 69.4% to 66%, then the increase in rental households would be 3.4% of 116,,716,292, which comes to almost exactly 4 million. That&#8217;s double Rosen&#8217;s number. Or, we can get more accurate, and go back to the, which showed 36,771,635 renter-occupied housing units in total. Contrast that with, where there were 40,730,218 renter-occupied housing units. The difference, again, is almost exactly 4 million. Most accurately of all, you can look directly at the Census Bureau&#8217;s of the US housing inventory. According to that series, the number of renter-occupied houses in the US was 32,913,000 in the second quarter of 2004; it&#8217;s now 38,771,000. The difference there is not 2 million or 4 million but rather 5.9 million. (In the same time, the number of owner-occupied households has increased by 1.2 million.) Now Rosen may or may not have good reason to believe that in fact the real increase in renting households is only 2 million rather than 4 million or 6 million. But if he does, that reason is not the drop in the homeownership rate from 69.4% to 66%. Not given the number of households in this country. (The homeownership data is, by the way; it&#8217;s worth noting that Rich didn&#8217;t link to it.) All of which housing wonkery is to say that even basic facts like the increase in US rental households can be non-trivial to pin down, and that both Rich and her readers would probably have been better off if she hadn&#8217;t bothered phoning Rosen at all, and had just got her numbers for the increase in rental households directly from the people measuring such things. Citing sources doesn&#8217;t help the reader at all, here: if Rich had been forced to assert the increase in rental households, rather than simply attributing the number to Rosen, then she would probably have got something closer to the truth. The difference between linking and citing is the difference between showing and telling. I&#8217;m not a big fan of citing, mainly because it gets in the way: we might learn a lot about where the Haas School of Business might be, but at the same time we&#8217;ll learn nothing useful about the increase in the number of rental households. On the other hand, if Rich had simply said that &#8220;about are renting&#8221;, complete with hyperlink, that would have been shorter, more useful, and more accurate, even if there were no explicit citation. Similarly, there&#8217;s a case to be made that Vascellaro could and should simply have put out a one-line story under the exact same headline (&#8220;Apple Acquires App-Search Engine Chomp&#8221;),polo ralph lauren, saying &#8220;I&#8217;ve talked to Apple and they confirm is true.&#8221; Vascellaro had exactly one new piece of information: Apple&#8217,cheap gucci handbags;s confirmation of the news. In a world where TechCrunch is only a click away, why write out a lazy rehash of what Siegler had already written, rather than just linking to his story and moving on to breaking and writing something more interesting? One reason is that the WSJ still has a hugely successful print product, and that therefore WSJ journalists&#8217; pieces need to work in print as well as online. What&#8217,ralph lauren outlet;s more, as people increasingly read WSJ.com stories offline, on things like the WSJ iPad app, the need for those stories to be reasonably comprehensive remains. Even in the age of the hyperlink. Here&#8217;s Stray: "Rewriting is required for print, where copyright prevents direct use of someone else’s words. Online, no such waste is necessary: A link is a magnificently efficient way for a journalist to pass a good story to the audience." The problem is that a journalist never really knows whether their work is going to be read online or offline, even if they&#8217;re writing solely for the web. The story might get downloaded into an RSS reader,, to be consumed offline. It might be emailed to someone with a Blackberry who can&#8217;t possibly be expected to open a hyperlink in a web browser. It might even get printed out and read that way. Besides, the simple fact is that even if people can follow links, most of the time they don&#8217;t. An art of writing online is to link to everything, but to still make your piece self-contained enough that it makes sense even if your reader clicks on no links at all. Cryptic sentences which make no sense until you click on them are arch and annoying. What&#8217;s more, as Stray says, &#8220;online writing needs to be than print&#8221,christian louboutin shoes;; his link will take you to Michael Kinsley, moaning about how &#8220;newspaper stories are written to accommodate readers who have just emerged from a coma or a coal mine&#8221;. In that context, does it really behoove reporters to build a long list of sources into all of their stories? Does every news story need to link to the organization which first broke the news? Does every journalist need to hat-tip the friend of theirs who retweeted the nugget which ultimately resulted in their story? My feeling is that commodity news is a commodity: facts are in the public domain, and don&#8217;t belong to anybody. If you&#8217;re mentioning a fact which you sourced in a certain place, then it&#8217,gucci Sunglasses;s a great idea to link to that place. And if you&#8217;re matching a story which some other news organization got first, it&#8217;s friendly and polite to mention that fact in your piece, while linking to their story. But it&#8217;s always your reader who should be top of mind &#8212; and the fact is that readers almost never care who got the scoop. There&#8217;s one big exception to that rule, however. Often, a reporter spends a long time getting a big and important scoop, which comes in the form of a long and deeply-reported story. When other news organizations cover that news, they really do have to link to the original story &#8212; the place which did it best. Otherwise, they shortchange their readers. A came last August, with  5,000-word exposé of the SEC’s document-shredding. Anybody covering that story without linking to Taibbi was doing their readers a disservice. As a result, like most things online, it&#8217;s very dangerous to try to come up with hard-and-fast rules about such things,ugg boots uk sale. In general, it&#8217;s good to link to as many different people and sources as possible, because the more links you have, the richer your story is. On the other hand, the journalistic web is full of garbage hyperlinks &#8212; automated links to irrelevant topic pages, for instance, or links to an organization&#8217;s home page when that organization is first mentioned. As for crediting the news organization which broke some piece of news, that&#8217;s more of a journalistic convention than a necessary service to readers. It&#8217;s important enough within the journalism world, at least in the US, that it&#8217;s probably a good idea to do it when you can. But most of the time it&#8217;s pretty inside-baseball stuff. And in the pantheon of journalistic sins, failing to do it is not a particularly big deal. What&#8217;s much more important is that your reader get as much information as possible, as efficiently as possible. Which means that if you&#8217;re writing about a document or report, you link to that document or report. to do that is a much greater sin than failure to link to some other journalist. So while sometimes the failure to link is unavoidable, I look forward to a time when journalists face much more criticism for not linking to primary documents than they do for not linking to some other news organization which got the news first. 相关的主题文章： <ul> <li>He said Groupon ran a daily deal for Seviche in February 2010</li> <li>The full release is below.</li> <li>revive its economic competitiveness</li> </ul>

A new legal broadside in Apple&#8217;s intellectual property battle with HTC,ralph lauren outlet. Cupertino has seeking a ban on the import of  &#8220;portable electronic devices and related software&#8221; made by its Taiwanese rival. This is the second ITC complaint Apple has lodged against HTC,cheap gucci bags, who it has accused of infringing some 20 patents related to the iPhone’s graphical user interface,coach outlet store online, underlying architecture and hardware. The latest complaint hasn&#8217;t yet been made public,coach outlet online, so it&#8217;s not entirely clear what Apple&#8217;s up to here. That said, it&#8217;s, following that its allegations against HTC be dismissed,gucci Sunglasses. And, of course, it&#8217;s another broad warning to the industry. If you&#8217;re bringing a new smartphone to market,ugg boots uk, you had better make damn sure it doesn’t infringe on Apple’s IP. As Apple CEO Steve Jobs said in a press release announcing its first suit against HTC: “We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it,gucci shoes. We’ve decided to do something about it. We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours.” In a statement,coach bags, HTC slagged Apple for the sudden escalation of hostilities between them. &#8220;HTC is dismayed that Apple has resorted to competition in the courts rather than the market place,&#8221,gucci handbags;. &#8220;HTC continues to vehemently deny all of Apple&#8217,ralph lauren outlet online;s past and present claims against it and will continue to protect and defend its own intellectual property as it has already done this year.&#8221; Further Reading: <ul></ul> 相关的主题文章： <ul> <li>and Russia.</li> <li>social search.”</li> <li>000 people</li> </ul>

'WE HAVE ALL GROWN UP'
Second inauguration just as intense for some Obama fans <span id="midArticle_start"> <span id="midArticle_0"> WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The National Mall was less crowded than four years ago, and the weather not nearly so cold. But for some fans viewing President Barack Obama's ceremonial swearing-in for a second term of office on Monday, the moment was equally intense. <span id="midArticle_1"> "This time I felt more emotional," said Angela Johnson of Columbia, South Carolina, who sported a heavy coat festooned with Obama pins. <span id="midArticle_2"> Johnson, who is black, said four years ago she fretted about Obama's safety during the inauguration of the United States' first black president. <span id="midArticle_3"> On Monday, she said,coach handbags, she felt both excitement that Obama was being sworn in on the holiday that honors the late civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr,ralph lauren polo. and relief that Obama's re-election had reaffirmed his place in history. <span id="midArticle_4"> "I think we're on the path to seeing the president more accepted," Johnson said. <span id="midArticle_5"> As Obama took the oath of office outside the U.S. Capitol, the same outward signs of passion erupted as in 2009. From the crowd, voices chanted: "Obama!" "USA!" and "Four More Years!" as spectators waved American flags. <span id="midArticle_6"> Obama addressed a crowd estimated to be up to 700,000 people - less than half the record 1.8 million who assembled four years ago. <span id="midArticle_7"> "This is history," said Paula Abdul, an American singer,, songwriter and television personality who strolled through the crowds near the Capitol. <span id="midArticle_8"> "As we're walking around, it all seems very inspiring to me," said Abdul, who was invited by the Creative Coalition, an advocacy group supporting the U.S. entertainment industry. <span id="midArticle_9"> Several lines in Obama's inaugural speech brought enthusiastic cheers, especially "a decade of war is now ending," and his calls for equal pay for women and equal rights for gays,ralph lauren outlet. <span id="midArticle_10"> Some also said he projected a tone of seriousness, even world-weariness, that was not there in January 2009, before the Democratic president had spent years battling high unemployment and Republicans resisting his agenda in the U.S. Congress. <span id="midArticle_11"> 'WE HAVE ALL GROWN UP' <span id="midArticle_12">  "He can't be the same Obama and neither am I the same person I was four years ago," said Sharon Johnson, a therapist from Baltimore, who watched the proceedings from a blanket on the mall. <span id="midArticle_13"> "Four years ago it was a childish experience because it was all so new,ugg boots. I think now we have all grown up," she said. <span id="midArticle_14"> Sharria Makeda, a legislative assistant who shared the blanket with Johnson, said: "He's one man and he has the weight of the world on his shoulders." <span id="midArticle_15"> Greg Pearson, of Crystal City, Virginia, near Washington, said while Monday's crowd was smaller than in 2009, it still exceeded the crowd in 2001 at George W. Bush's first inauguration,. <span id="midArticle_0"> Back then, Pearson said, some people were more intent on booing outgoing President Bill Clinton than cheering Bush. <span id="midArticle_1"> Booing erupted from some quarters on Monday,polo ralph lauren. When House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner, a Republican, appeared on the podium, he was booed by audience members standing near the Hirshhorn Museum. <span id="midArticle_2"> They also booed Representative Paul Ryan, the running mate of failed Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. <span id="midArticle_3"> Monday's crowd included many who had missed Obama's inauguration four years ago. <span id="midArticle_4"> "I'm just so happy to be here this time ... the stars were aligned," said Rhoda Littles, a public school teacher from Detroit. <span id="midArticle_5"> Reverend Dolly Jones of Augusta, Georgia, who said she was in her 60s, helped hold a sign proclaiming: "Pray for president and 1st lady Obama,." <span id="midArticle_6"> "It was a rough (campaign) race, and all of that negativity ... We're here to show our nation and the world that we're behind this great president," Jones said. <span id="midArticle_7"> Some were not necessarily Obama fans but simply came to witness history. A high school class from Bradford, Arkansas, 48 strong, started planning a year ago to go to the inauguration "no matter who won,cheap gucci bags," 18-year-old Wesley Stivers said. <span id="midArticle_8"> "I want to be a history teacher,gucci shoes, so that ties into it ... I will tell my students in the future I wish they could have been here," Stivers said. <span id="midArticle_9"> Caitlin Nations, a young stay-at-home mom from Washington who came with her 15-month-old son, Jedidiah, said: "This is a day for America, not for partisanship." <span id="midArticle_10"> She said she did not vote for Obama, but "I feel like the office of the president demands respect." <span id="midArticle_11"> (Additional reporting by Emily Stephenson; Writing by Susan Cornwell; Editing by Marilyn W.

tough on rich countries
Something has gone wrong with global warming. It’s not that the world has stopped heating up,christian louboutin sale. It’s that the anti-warming political movement, which seemed almost unstoppable when the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate  Change?won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, has stalled. Last week’s United Nations climate change conference in Durban ended with little more than an  agreement to talk some more about what to do next. Even that was too much for Canada, which has just said no to emission-reduction targets,. The activists blame recalcitrant governments and many commentators blame economic distractions,Ralph Lauren Sale. They are probably both right,ugg boots uk, but I think the activists’ own approach bears much of the responsibility. While only experts can judge the strength of the scientific evidence for  man-made climate change,ralph lauren polo, no technical knowledge is required to be  troubled by the way the activists present their case. The willingness to describe knowledgeable opponents as “deniers,Ralph Lauren Sale,” a word previously used  only for fantasists about Nazi atrocities,louis vuitton Replica, suggests a very unscientific  attitude. The “” emails show so passionate about their beliefs that they are unwilling to brook  opposition. Fervor seems to have led to overconfidence. The status of the claim that recent years have been by far the warmest in a millennium  has been downgraded from  in 2001 to  or  (depending on the expert consulted),coach handbags. The activists’ excess of passion and certainly has led them to a dogmatic  conviction that a radical policy &#8212; rapid and sharp reductions in carbon  dioxide emissions &#8212; is required to save the world,. Since industrial economies cannot yet function without using large amounts of energy  generated by burning carbon,ralph lauren outlet online, the anti-carbon prescription equates to a  campaign against prosperity &#8212; tough on rich countries (too tough for  Canada to bear) and practically a sentence of economic stagnation for  poor ones. 相关的主题文章： <ul> <li>present systemic risk.</li> <li>Mahatma Gandhi</li> <li>completed April 21</li> </ul>
