UAE Central Bank Intervention In Dubai Debt Debacle Imminent - WSJ.com - http://online.wsj.com/article...

The Abu Dhabi-based Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates is expected to announce before U.A.E. stock markets open Monday that it will guarantee Dubai World debt to help protect local lenders from potential losses amid rising anxiety among investors, people briefed on the matter said. The central bank, which has been mute since Dubai World said Wednesday it would restructure and seek a six-months debt standstill, will issue a statement later Sunday or early Monday, when the Dubai government is also slated to make a parallel announcement, the people said. "You will hear news out of Abu Dhabi today, that's where the story has shifted to," a senior Dubai-based official said. Abu Dhabi-based officials confirmed to Zawya Dow Jones Sunday that a central bank intervention was forthcoming. The unprecedented measure will allow local U.A.E. banks exposed to Dubai World, which has almost $60 billion of liabilities, to avoid taking provisions, people who had been briefed on the matter, said.

Terrific. Are we still maintaining that list of "outputs resulting from FriendFeed"? - Neil Saunders

I was planning on doing a demo of annotation at PLoS before the end of the year - perhaps this article would be a good candidate. As always, anyone willing to join is welcome. - Daniel Mietchen

@ Neil: It's at http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc... , and I have added the article as #25 (details missing). - Daniel Mietchen

i added a note once, but now it won't let me add any other notes :( I don't see a rule about one note per person. I should have held off for a good one. - Christina Pikas

I also just noticed that my "annotation" - provided the link to StackOverflow - shows up in the general discussion, where the title "Link" certainly is not helpful, and there is no way I can edit it. - Daniel Mietchen

maybe something is broken, my note appears in general comments but also in that portion of the text as a comment. maybe that's why I couldn't add other notes? - Christina Pikas

Not sure why you can't add more notes. Certainly been able to in the past. I see both notes where they are supposed to be I think. But they will also appear in the general comments as well I think. - Cameron Neylon

Great article! I really need to add some comments or notes, just to prove the authors' point :-) - Björn Brembs

BTW, when does PLoS finally get karma? I've been asking for proper 'show off' userprofiles for like ever :-) - Björn Brembs

As in PLoS Overflow? - Cameron Neylon

Cameron, et al. - What's the most useful thing I could do to nurture and support this renewed interest in article level metrics? (not from a competing data product point of view, but a let's get some good technologies out there with good visibility) - Mr. Gunn

@Cameron: Exactly! I even think having a profile where you can post a pic and see how many papers and comments were published, papers edited, etc.was the very first thing I asked for when I signed up :-) - Björn Brembs

But it needs to be federated across publishers... :-) - Cameron Neylon

if authors put in their 'customer' weight, this will go faster, so why not go syndicate :-) - Claudia Koltzenburg

I think I'll use this paper in my spring thesis class -- this is the main one where I discuss publishing models -- and maybe I'll demo Diigo with this as a class project next to an article that discusses IF. - Mickey Schafer

While we're on the subject of functionality wish lists, I would also like an embed functionality for PLoS papers. Collecting my publications together but don't want to duplicate copies and reduce googlejuice for the journal - at least not for the OA papers anyway... - Cameron Neylon

Whilst not a darts-player http://www.flickr.com/photos... , I think Cameron has hit the "triple-twenty" there :) - Graham Steel

BTW, why isn't there a way to register this thread with the article? Why are we posting here and not on the article? There's got to be a lesson to be learned from this :-) - Björn Brembs from iPhone

I've included a link to this thread in a blog post: Article-level metrics getting attention http://ff.im/bGuNY - Jim Till

+1 Bjoern :-) another question along these lines would be: why does Cameron's intial FF message link to CiteULike and not to http://www.plosbiology.org/article..., or plainly doi:10.1371/journal.pbio.1000242 ? - Claudia Koltzenburg

Because that was the way I brought the link in. I think that that pointer is appropriate. It is a pointer to the fact that I bookmarked it. Other people linked to the paper directly. Perhaps the issue is that we accidentally aggregated around the "wrong" item to talk about the paper. I'm not sure this is a problem as long as the referral works - its a UI irritation not a problem with... more... - Cameron Neylon

well, not directly, maybe in this ff-thread we're just providing some material for what you say in your paragraph "Technical Solutions to Social Problems", namely: "approaches that gather information from processes that are already part of the typical research workflow are also much more likely to succeed." - even though ff may not be part of 'the typical research workflow' (yet?) - and... more... - Claudia Koltzenburg

That's true, and certainly conversation sparked by the paper. But how to capture that in a way that is useful further down the line might be tough... - Cameron Neylon

I am still wondering if we would not need at least one metric for each 'scientist type' as described in http://dx.doi.org/10... - joergkurtwegner
