Although the UFC maintains it is slimming down their roster to "assure fighters can be scheduled more frequently and to avoid long layoffs between fights" the recent torch snuffing of Din Thomas, Tommy Speer, and Kuniyoshi Hironaka seems to be yet another sign of the organization neglecting to put their fighters first.

| | Long Island Meta News Service: Part Three | | 2008-04-29 14:15:00 | | Setting up the technical aspects of the LIMNS (Long Island MetaNet) is really not too difficult given the widespread availability and relatively inexpensive Web 2.0 and emerging Web 3.0 technologies.So how to "spread the word" and create a Long Island based media network quickly?In any organization there are folks who are just natural networkers. They know tons of folks. In fact if we did our own Six Degrees of Separation on Long Island we could probably reach almost every person of influence on Long Island. We want those people. The "meta networkers."But they are not the only people we want.I think most "average" folks don't realize the power, influence and good ideas they have. It is often pointed out that Long Island is "divided" by many different "political subdivisions" and this is true.But we are also divided, among other things, by many different uncoordinated "like minded" organizations doing similar work and by regional media which acts as the "gatekeeper" of what we are p | | By: Long Island Idea Factory | | |

| | Long Island Meta News Service: Part Two | | 2008-04-26 06:50:00 | | OK so we're calling it a Long Island Meta News Service to take advantage of the current debate of the sale of Newsday, shameless self-promoters that we are.But in fact, this "structure" may be applied to almost any form of mass (meta) communication and information distribution on Long Island or elsewhere. It is one of the central collaborative models we're promoting in our "One Long Island" series.From a technical point of view, creating a "community based" news service really isn't all that difficult any longer. We define community as all individuals and organizations (of all types) on Long Island. Even organizing it isn't a monumental issue.The difficult part is trust. Do we trust one another enough to engage in the type of broad based collaborative dialogue necessary to move Long Island forward? Or will we remain in our "cycle of stagnation" depending on old forms and methodologies to solve new and ever more complex problems?Will those in power and with influence share the same stag | | By: Long Island Idea Factory | | |
| | All Island Landscaping: Curb Appeal coming Soon | | 2008-04-25 13:15:00 | | We had Byron from All Island Landscaping in Portsmouth over yesterday because we both can't see ourselves digging 20something holes for a row of 5 to 6 foot tall Privet Shrubs along our 80something foot long property line on Main road, not to mention the cypress tree that will come with a root ball the size of our Ford Explorer (I wildly imagine). Byron also told us that our lovely very green grass around the new septic system is not rice grass but rye grass (Peter must have had dinner in mind when the septic guy told him what kind of grass it was). He also warned us that this rye grass is going to die this year and will turn into a stack of hey..., and a farmer I am not, so my guess, Byron will be back when that happens. So much for my easy landscaping idea. All Island Landscaping will also construct our gravel parking spot. It should all happen in a few weeks. | | By: Dutch Colonial Home | | |

| | Rhodes Island | | 2008-04-24 18:37:00 | | The city of Rhodes was founded in 408BC, the days of Alexander the Great and the Peloponnesian Wars.Sokratous Street is not a steep hill; the Turks, while they held sway, called it the Long Bazaar. You cannot miss the Turkish heritage. The Mosque of Suleiman, named for the conqueror of Rhodes, towers above the bustling shops. I'm worried about the minaret's lean.It's warm - 300 days of sunshine a year, thanks to Helios, the sun god. Time to sit in the shade, enjoy a crisp Greek salad and a Mythos beer. The young waiter at Cafe Sessytio in Sokratous Street spreads his arms in welcome. I'm in a parallel universe. Outside the walled courtyard, noise, banter, shoppers. Here, quiet, cool, comfort.

| | | | More on a Long Island "Citizen Media" | | 2008-04-23 09:35:00 | | News of the sale of Newsday has prompted many to worry about the potential lack of diversity in media coverage on Long Island. This clearly is a valid concern.I think however, it misses the enormity and broad scope of the information and media changes that are upon us.Some theorize that we have become too dependent on traditional sources of media, not only to inform us, but to think for us as well.The explosion of blogging and other Web 2.0 technologies has given a voice to many who were previously shut out of the public policy arena, but it has also too widely dispersed and in some ways confused the general public even more. Additionally most blogging is "opinion based" and not subject to rigorous scrutiny, but so then is much of the "traditional" news we receive today.Some have made good attempts to create like minded "blogospheres" and multimedia forums using Web 2.0. But often these "universes" are revolving around different centers and do not interact with one another.Wouldn't it | | By: Long Island Idea Factory | | |

| | The "reverse engineering" of Long Island: Part One | | 2008-04-15 09:38:00 | | "Reverse engineering (RE) is the process of discovering the technological principles of a device, object or system through analysis of its structure, function and operation. It often involves taking something (e.g. a mechanical device, electronic component, or software program) apart and analyzing its workings in detail, usually to try to make a new device or program that does the same thing without copying anything from the original."OK. So I'm not 100% against taking things from "the original" as it relates to the "re-organization" of our governing structures and policies if, after careful examination, they work and are able to adapt to a dynamic view of Long Island as opposed to a static one. We've examined many of these ideas in previous posts.But in order to create a Long Island for the next 50 to 100 years (technology may actually make that too long a window) we must re-examine everything we do.As we've previously stated, new study, no matter how comprehensive and worthwhile, wil | | By: Long Island Idea Factory | | |

| | Island getaway | | 2008-04-14 09:57:00 | | Staying in Greece, which has the lion's share of the Mediterranean islands, a great base for wildlife watching is Alonissos (crowdfactor 64), in the Sporades. It's the hub for visiting the outlying Sporades islets, many within the Sporades Marine Park, which helps protect the monk seal (permits required). Alonissos, with its secluded, boat-accessed beaches, is 20 minutes by hydrofoil from Skopelos and less than an hour from Skiathos, which has an airport.Lesbos (cover photograph), with a crowdfactor of 59, is the third-largest Greek island and another favourite with wildlife enthusiasts, thanks to its birdlife. It is heavily wooded in the east, agricultural in the centre and rather bare in the west. A car is essential for exploring this large island – just remember to take it easy on the local ouzo, for which this island is famed. There are flights from Athens and a few from the UK.Evvoia (crowdfactor 56) may be the second-largest island in Greece (linked to the mainland by a bridge) | | By: Greece Travel News | | |
| | Manhattan's Real Estate: An Island Unto Itself? | | 2008-04-14 09:52:00 | | According to the latest quarterly report from Halstead Property, the first quarter of 2008 saw property values continue their outlandish surge on the isle of Manhattan. The report touts "new records" in median sale prices and average apartment sale prices.Yes, $1.69 million is the new average sale price of an apartment, but remember, that's "average" and that number was pushed up artificially by two high-end properties: 15 Central Park West and the Plaza.Without those two, the average sale price would be a mere $1.4 million. Ah well. What this says, though, is that there is far more activity on the high end of the market, because the median sale price is $855,000 (which is still up 13 percent from last year).

| | Greek island of Karpathos | | 2008-04-10 16:01:00 | | Pigadia, Greece - Their eyebrows are black and thick and their facial expressions austere and proud. The women from the small town of Olympos, high in the north of the Greek island of Karpathos, are different from the women on the rest of the island. This part of Karpathos has the harshest landscape on the 300 square kilometre island thanks to its craggy coastline and the waves that crash upon the shore.But its olive groves and hidden bays also make it the most beautiful place on Karpathos. Olympos is difficult to reach: a ferry travels twice a day from the island's capital, Pigadia.You can drive by car, but the road is unpaved and full of potholes and steep inclines falling away to the sides.

The association has a swimming pool, tennis court, volleyball, basketball, and swing sets for the kids. The area has many mature trees for a very secrene setting where the only rule is "you must have fun".

With the exotic and beautiful islands these ships travel to, their popularity is not surprising. A cruise liner holiday is a combination of amazing entertainment, wonderful activities and an opportunity to visit the idyllic islands of the Caribbean. Some people only take a short break and visit perhaps only a couple of islands as part of a larger vacation but most people are doing a tour of as many islands as they can with some lasting over two weeks. Vacations like this are about enjoyment and it what these companies do best irrespective of weather or environment, it is your choice; enjoy the on board entertainment or that at each destination. Cruise liner owners are aware of this and have different packages to cater for diverse crowds so the vacation can meet their needs of a dream holiday with a variety of entertainment packages available.Planning is the key to vacationing and with the number of pack | | By: European Cruise Vacation Travel Guide | | |

| | Long Island: The 51st State - Part Two | | 2008-04-03 09:27:00 | | Some have found it amusing that this subject has reappeared. In fact, some have dismissed it out of hand.But we should look at it as an opportunity to do some real analysis in a dynamic manner.The folks at Dowling will, I have no doubt, do a thorough and professional job on the analysis, just as Mr. Koppelman and others have done previously.But what will happen with the results?Will they sit on a shelf somewhere never to be seen again?As we have stated previously, there are many good ideas and intelligent folks on Long Island. What is missing is a coordinated approach to the issues.Dowling should reach out to other universities (Stony Brook comes to mind on the technology end) and create a dynamic, sustainable dialogue about how government operates and how best to provide services among many issues to be addressed.For example, what would the "perfect" government structure be?

The islands are the largest land reclamation projects in the world and will result in the world's largest artificial islands. They are being constructed by Nakheel Properties, a property developer in the United Arab Emirates, who hired the Dutch dredging and marine contractor Van Oord, one of the world's specialists in land reclamation. The islands are The Palm Jumeirah, The Palm Jebel Ali and The Palm Deira.The islands were commissioned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in order to increase Dubai's tourism. Each settlement will be in the shape of a palm tree, topped with a crescent, and will have a large number of residential, leisure and entertainment centers. The Palm Islands are located off the coast of The United Arab Emirates in the Persian Gulf and will add 520 km of beaches to the city of Dubai.

| | Easter Island Tribute | | 2008-03-30 01:07:00 | | The cousins collaborated and built this snow sculpture in Kansas over the Christmas break. Mulligan and Ida, Jean, Connor, Eamon, and Eleanor I, and Keegan and Eleanor II all had a hand in it. Keegan and Eleanor II's mom is an artist and Mulligan and Ida's dad is as well, so there is art in some of the cousins' genes; and the ones that don't have it (basically my crew) are still useful as snow packers. This project was a long time coming, primarily due to lack of sculpting supplies in visits past. This was the first visit to Kansas in years where the weather has been remotely like I remember Kansas winters--cold and usually snowy. The four or five winters prior to 2007 have been snow-free and balmy enough for me to run outdoors with no jacket. I felt stupid lugging a down jacket along. Oh well, the weather got us this year. The sculpture is meant to be reminiscent of the Easter Island heads. Even though they built it at Christmas, for one thing the digital photo didn't make | | By: Tix-R-Us GeekEvents | | |

| | Long Island School of Meta-Interdisciplinary Study: Lesson One | | 2008-03-28 08:20:00 | | We've posted previously about the need to create an environment where we can all learn to think in a "cross disciplinary" manner.Meta-interdisciplinary simply means you are exhausting all possible means of determining the correct public policy by leaving no one or no possible solution or idea out of the equation.Here is a simple exercise.Take 100 randomly selected "things" (concepts, ideas, existing programs, physical structures what have you) and put them on index cards. Next, select five cards. Create three possible connections (collaborative activities) between all of the five cards selected.As you get more adept at the process increase 100 to 200, five to ten, three to five and so on until your brain starts to hurt. Now we're thinking "out of the box."If you are a software savvy, there are "randomizer" programs out there that connect to databases to achieve the same results.It doesn't matter that some or most of the ideas won't work.

| | Kefalonia Island | | 2008-03-18 15:18:00 | | Traditional villas remain the most common type of housing on Kefalonia, as a result of strict Greek planning laws. New structures must follow the established rectangular form, be pale in colour and made of comparable materials. Porphyrios has come up with a two-storey courtyard structure in tune with the island's Italianate buildings,Influenced by a period under Venetian rule during the Middle Ages. His design cleverly allows every hotel room to have a view over the valley to the sea. Elia Valley aims to be up there with the few truly luxurious hotels on Kefalonia, competing with the Emelisse and Olive Grove Studios. It will be managed by the Small Luxury Hotels of the World group.
