1 | 2 | Next2 Citations Rotterdam-based photographer Ari Versluis and stylist Ellie Uyttenbroek have worked together since October 1994. Inspired by a shared interest in the striking dress codes of various social groups, they have systematically documented numerous identities over the last 13 years. Rotterdam's heterogeneous, multicultural street scene remains a major source of inspiration for Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek, although since 1998 they have also worked in cities abroad., blogmarks.net

Colorization Using Optimization 1 Citation Colorization is a computer-assisted process of adding color to a monochrome image or movie. The process typically involves segmenting images into regions and tracking these regions across image sequences. Neither of these tasks can be performed reliably in practice; consequently, colorization requires considerable user intervention and remains a tedious, time-consuming, and expensive task., blogmarks.net

UPEI, faculty see settlement differently - by Wayne Thibodeau 1 Citation A grievance settlement between UPEI and its faculty is being described as a ?victory? by the faculty association, but it is being described as ?not a substantive change? by the university.
The issue centres on who owns intellectual property, the ideas and research being carried out by the professors and researchers at UPEI.
Wayne Peters, the president of the UPEI Faculty Association, says the university has agreed to include the faculty association in all third-party funded research contracts and grants that could lead to the development of intellectual property.
?This grievance was never about who owned the (intellectual property) in the first place, that was not the primary issue,? Peters told The Guardian. ?The issue was more about the union?s involvement in processes like this as the sole and exclusive bargaining agent for its members.?
The initial grievance centred on a decision by the university to enter into discussions with ACOA regarding a research project that affected the faculty association?s collective agreement, without including the union.
The university maintained it had ownership of the intellectual property.
The faculty association felt the university had side-stepped the union, which has been in place for the past three years.
?The big victory in this for the union is that there is a very strong recognition by the university of the union?s role in representing its members on issues that are clearly part of the collective agreement and intellectual property policy is one of those issues,? he said.
But Katherine Schultz, vice-president of research and development at UPEI, described it as an ?evolving? process as the university and the union work through its 100-page collective agreement, signed three years ago. She admits it will allow the faculty association to have a greater role in the ?internal discussions.?
?But it?s not a substantive change in the way our researchers work with partners in the community, with the private sector, with government agencies,? she said.
Schultz said it will have no impact on the students.
Peters said the faculty association can now ?rewrite history? because it can now review all 100 contracts signed between the university and private funding partners since 2004.
It also remains unclear now as to who would benefit if an idea is commercialized. For example, if a researcher finds a cure of a deadly disease like cancer, who benefits?
Peters maintains it would be the faculty member while the university says it?s difficult to answer that because it could be several partners, from funding partners to faculty members to the university.
Last year, the union walked off the job trying to secure its first agreement with the university.
The intellectual property grievance was filed in 2005 and was not part of last year?s dispute., blogmarks.net

Sam Ruby: Publishing a Blog From a mod_atom Store 1 Citation The bazillion feed formats issue is a non-issue here, nor is the eight ways to specify an author name, nor is the seemingly endless creative ways in which people seem to misuse RFC 822 formatted dates; all that remains as an unaddressed issue is the cleansing of the HTML. In terms of this diagram, that simply means that html5lib needs to shift from the left to the right, and Spider is no longer necessary., blogmarks.net

1 Citation 16. August 2006, Prague: The world's astronomers, under the auspices of the International Astronomical Union (IAU), have concluded two years of work defining the difference between "planets" and the smaller "solar system bodies" such as comets and asteroids. If the definition is approved by the astronomers gathered 14-25 August 2006 at the IAU General Assembly in Prague, our Solar System will include 12 planets, with more to come: eight classical planets that dominate the system, three planets in a new and growing category of "plutons" - Pluto-like objects - and Ceres. Pluto remains a planet and is the prototype for the new category of "plutons.", blogmarks.net

1 Citation OsmoseRSS is an RSS aggregator that leverages the power of social collaborative filtering through tagging. It is a project under development at the Center for Open and Sustainable Learning that allows people to import, store, share and manage RSS feeds in bulk or individually. These RSS feeds can come from blogs, bookmark sharing sites such as del.icio.us, photo sharing sites such as flickr, open educational resource sites, news sites, and any other RSS-producing source.
In addition to its functionality as an aggregator, OsmoseRSS encourages social interaction to help users find others with similar interests. Users tag RSS feeds as they add them to OsmoseRSS. When the RSS feeds are pulled into OsmoseRSS, the system processes the incoming data for tags embedded in the data and includes those tags as part of the description of each entry. Just like del.icio.us and flickr, those tags are exposed to the entire community. Users can then find other resources that have been tagged with keywords that are of interest. In addition, the source of each feed is tracked so that users can find and connect with people with similar interests. This exposes users to content that is being added by other individuals and to the individuals who are producing data. This results in a relatively high likelihood of discovery of other data or people who are of interest.
OsmoseRSS encourages the formation of groups where users with similar ideas or interests can gather to share open resources. Groups inside OsmoseRSS can share resources, collaboratively filter and rank resources, review one another's work, create a shared folksonomy, and discover new people and resources. Within a group a user may contribute RSS feeds filtered by tags or vote on resources provided by other users. In addition, if a resource is found that is critical for the group the group may create a static link that always remains. Examples, of this type of resource include a group FAQ or a link to a discussion forum. Any user of the system may create groups.
Instead of discarding old data, OsmoseRSS retains the data provided by RSS feeds. The advantage of this strategy is that all data from all RSS feeds is available to make recommendations and for users to search. This approach ensures that once a resource is tagged users will have access to it in the future., blogmarks.net
