KDWP seeks public comment on draft deer recommendations
PRATT -- Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) is seeking public input on ways to streamline, simplify, and improve current deer permitting processes and hunting opportunities. In 2005, the Kansas Legislature's House Wildlife, Parks and Tourism Committee requested that KDWP present ideas to simplify and condense deer-related statutes. In January of 2006, KDWP's Deer Task Force presented draft recommendations on deer permitting to the Legislature. The Task Force's draft recommendations include some major changes in deer permit procedures and hunting regulations, and the group requested a year before final recommendations be presented. The Task Force wanted time to receive public input on the suggested changes.
Since January, the Task Force has received public comment through the KDWP web log , email, telephone, and mail, and more than 300 responses have been considered. The Task Force is also preparing surveys to send to hunters this month in an attempt to better understand attitudes about deer and deer hunting.
The final avenue for public input will be meetings held throughout the state. Beginning Aug. 1, 14 public meetings will be conducted in all regions of Kansas. Deer Task Force members will present the draft recommendations to the public and listen to opinions from public participants. Below is a complete listing of meeting dates, locations and times. The full Deer Task Force Draft Recommendations can be seen here under "Deer Task Force Legislative Report."

I'm always inspired by the number of local men and women who play hockey on a regular basis. There's no doubt that skating can be challenging enough, let alone playing a fast game of hockey. Because of the frequent lateral movements, sharp turns and change of direction, it's important that hockey players have strong hips and good balance, as well as excellent core control.
This week, my team of practitioners from Performance Posture Clinic and I are supporting a great charity event named Hockey Helps the Homeless. There will be roughly 200 Vancouver business people playing in an all-day tournament at UBC, raising money for a very worthy cause. My practitioners and I will be providing athlete support services for the players, helping them to stay healthy throughout the day.With the instability of skates and the agility required to out-manoeuvre other players on the ice, anyone who tries to play with muscle weakness or imbalance can get themselves into trouble and get injured. At the very least, they won't perform to the best of their ability.
This week I'm presenting three office, hockey-specific movements that target the hips, as demonstrated by Mixx trainer and certified athletic therapist Scott Marchant. A couple of these moves are fairly advanced, so be careful to use good form and excellent body control at all times.
Always remember to perform a thorough warm-up before exercise, and consult your physician before starting or changing your fitness program.
Lateral strides
More than most other sports, hockey is a game of lateral movement. The skating stride requires power and control at the hip joints for accelerating, crossing over, carving and stopping. Building strong lateral hips is something that can help your game immensely.
Lateral strides over a hurdle or a cone are simple, and the level of difficulty can be gradually increased to tolerance. One of the most important things to monitor is the alignment of your body as you move from side to side. Begin by standing on the left side of a cone with your hockey stick in hand and body in a neutral athletic position.
Initiate the movement by firing your left hip/glute musculature and jumping sideways across to the right side of the cone, landing on your right leg.
Absorb the lateral movement and impact with your big leg muscles, while keeping your hips square and spine upright and tall. Be careful not to let your torso lean outward past your pelvis as you fire your right hip/glute muscles to propel you back over to the left side of the cone. Keeping your core engaged will help your alignment. Perform two sets of 30 lateral strides.
Drop lunges
This variation on lunges requires large hip movements and serious body control. Start by standing tall with your feet together and the end of your hockey stick in your right hand, then lift your right knee up toward your chest and pause in this leg-up position.
From here, drop your pelvis back and slightly to the right side as you fall back and down onto your right leg, landing in the wide lunge position shown in the photo on this page.
Be careful not to "reach" back with your leg. When you land, your weight should be evenly split between both feet, with your hips and glutes active and your core engaged.
From this finish position, press back upward to the tall, leg-up position, before dropping back again. Perform 10 repetitions before switching to the other side. Holding the hockey stick in front of you will help your balance.
Hockey criss-cross
A hockey player's hips will end up in all kinds of positions during a game, and the player must be conditioned to rise to the challenge.
This criss-cross drill is difficult, and because of the body positions and impact, I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with serious hip, knee or ankle issues.
Begin by standing over a line on the floor, or a hockey stick, and assume a lunge position, with your right foot forward. Now, move your right foot over to the left side of the stick, and your left foot across to the right side of the stick, leaving you in the crossover position shown in the photo. This is your start position.Keeping your pelvis and spine in neutral alignment, with your core engaged, quickly fire your hip and leg muscles to switch the position of your feet, with your left leg coming forward and right leg back, landing in the opposite crossover position.
Pause briefly to check your alignment and stability before firing again and returning to the start position. Always keep your torso facing forward. If you use a hockey stick, be careful with your foot placement to avoid hitting or tripping over the stick. Perform 2 sets of 20 repetitions.

Ready for this boys and girls?
Here we are, nearing the two month mark remaining on the season, and the Reds are chasing the Cards for the Central Division Lead.
Just thought this would be as good a place as any to keep track of St. Louis' magic number.
Remember - everytime Cincinnati (or the 2nd place team should the Reds get overtaken) loses OR the Cardinals win, the number goes down.
That formula is as follows (For those keeping score at home)
Total Number of games - Wins by the 1st place team - Losses by the 2nd place team + 1
That would mean that thru the games finished on July 19th
162 - 53 - 45 + 1 = 65 with 67 games to go

Florida legislators say they haven't decided if the state will appeal the pension ruling against them today by Judge Jackie Fulford but they're already ready to spend $800,000 in taxpayer money to do it.
Fulford ruled that the state unconstitutionally breached its contract with state employees when legislators cut salaries 3 percent last year in an effort to have employees pay into their pensions without renegotiating their contracts.
But after spending $500,000 to hire the Atlanta-based law firm of Alston and Bird last year, the Department of Management Services in December entered into a second contract to spend up to $300,000 on defense of the case.
The firm, which has ties to Gov. Rick Scott, exhausted the $500,000 retainer the state paid for the initial defense, said Kris Purcell, spokesman for the Department of Management Services.
The contract says that the state "agrees to provide legal advice and representation to the agency for the duration of one appeal, and the fees to the agency will not exceed $300,000 even if the contractor spends time on the appeal that would result in charges over $300,000."
The contract allows the state to pay eight attorneys in the firm $475 an hour, about $300 more per hour than contracts with other outside lawyers.
The firm was hired at the urging of the Scott administration, whose roster includes a onetime business associate of the governor's, Thomas Scully. Scully is also a general partner with the New York investment firm of Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe. In June, that firm purchased Scott's shares in Solantic, a chain of urgent-care clinics the governor started back in 2001.
The governor has said, however, that he did not know that Scully also worked with Alston and Bird. Download A and B Contract 3% Retirement appeal

For the birds: Prankster causes delay of game
Q. For Psych 101 extra credit: Apply basic conditioning principles to devise a show-stopping prank at a football game. A. Groh
A. Story circulating on the Net: A college guy spends a summer going down by the football field every day wearing a black and white striped shirt, scattering birdseed all over the field, blowing a whistle, then walking off. Fall arrives, and the school's first home game: The referee walks out, blows his whistle, and the game has to be delayed. Could this really have happened?
"I've never heard this, but it's certainly possible," says Ken Rosenberg of the Cornell University Laboratory of Ornithology. Birds are very visually oriented, highly intelligent, and driven to find food.
"I have a friend who studies urban crow populations. He has a beat-up old Toyota, and the crows know his car– when he drives certain streets, the crows see the car coming and come down to the roadside for the inevitable handout."
A very different "dinner bell" was sounded at the U.S. Army's Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland. MaryBeth Garrigan of the University of Minnesota Raptor Center recalls a bird-watching assignment there during explosives testing.
Looking through my binoculars, I saw a pair of red-tailed hawks sitting on a telephone pole, and as the bombing started, I expected the birds to fly away in a panic. Instead they flew to a platform closer to the explosions!"
She made sense of this when the bombing subsided and the hawks began flying slowly over the field, diving down and picking up what looked like shell-shocked mice and rabbits.
Q. Are humans ever born with tails? B. L. Zeebub
A. More than 100 such cases have been reported in the medical literature, likened at times to pigs' tails, with their owners sometimes able to wag or curl them, says Jan Bondeson, Ph.D, in A Cabinet of Medical Curiosities.
In 1901, a Johns Hopkins anatomist studied a boy, otherwise healthy, born with a 1.5-inch tail that grew to three inches by the time he was six months, which he could "contract" when he was irritated, or coughed, or sneezed. Covered with normal skin, it had a core of connective tissue and fat, a normal supply of nerves and blood vessels, and strong muscle strands through it, explaining its mobility.
Many tailed infants have had true vestigial tails, where the outer part of the "caudal filament" persists. But dissimilar malformations exist, including the 19th-century case of a man who when asked why he had been rejected from the cavalry said, "Because I have a tail, Sir!" The surgeon examined him and confirmed that the broad, unyielding elongation of his coccyx would have made his career as a cavalryman an extremely painful one.
"It is an open question," concludes Bondeson, "how long a tail can get if allowed to grow indefinitely, for nowadays tails are usually amputated at an early age to spare the child and its parents anxiety and unwelcome attention."
Q. Wouldn't you just guess there'd be more Fridays the 13 than Saturdays the 13 or any other day? A. Robinson
A. You'd be right, says Alfred Posamentier in Math Charmers: Tantalizing Tidbits for the Mind. This fact was first pointed out by B.H. Brown in American Mathematical Monthly. Figuring, the number of days in one four-year Gregorian calendar cycle is 3 x 365 + 366 = 1461. So in 400 years there are 100 x 1461 - 3 = 146,097 days.
"Note that the century year, unless divisible by 400, is not a leap year; hence the deduction of 3."
This number is exactly divisible by seven for the weeks. There are 4800 months in the 400-year cycle, so the 13th comes up 4800 times. As it works out, each cycle has 684 Saturdays the 13, 687 Sundays, 685 Mondays and Tuesdays, 687 Wednesdays, 684 Thursdays and lo and behold 688 Fridays. As (un)luck would have it.
Q. What implications does woodpecker research have for football players and race car drivers? A. Hale
A. Slow-motion photography reveals the woodpecker's head accelerating to about 15 mph (the speed of a good human sprinter) before colliding with the tree, reports James W. Kalat in Biological Psychology. That's on every third hit or so. The other two are gentler, setup taps, "like a carpenter lining up a hammer with a nail." The bird avoids brain injury by delivering hard strikes in an almost perfectly straight line, with neck held rigid. "The result is a near absence of rotational forces and whiplash," Kalat says.
Similarly, a better design for sports helmets would be to extend protection down to the shoulders, like the metal helmets medieval knights wore. For non-helmet-wearers seeing a collision coming, he advises, "tuck your chin to your chest and tighten your neck muscles."

The senators say that the agency lacks the resources to inspect 99 percent of the nation's rails and to sufficiently prepare for the oversight of new safety measures. Schumer and Blumenthal say they will fight for additional funds in the upcoming Fiscal Year 2014 appropriations bill so the agency can hire an additional 45 inspectors, after the budget sequester cut approximately $9 million from the FRA's budget in the 2013 fiscal year.
These inspectors will be dedicated to inspecting rail and evaluating the safety protocols and infrastructure of railroads around the country. Schumer and Blumenthal requested that Congress meet the Obama Administration's full 2014 request of $185 million for safety and operations, an increase of approximately $15 million more than this year's sequestered budget. The senators noted that FRA does not seek to inspect 100 percent of the nation's rails each year, a task that is shared by states and the railroads themselves, but additional funding would allow them to dramatically increase the percentage and spot safety checks.
According to a 2012 report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), FRA is only able to inspect about one percent of the nation's tracks each year with the resources they are allocated. The agency's rail-safety oversight framework relies on inspections to ensure railroads comply with federal safety regulations. FRA inspects railroad infrastructure and operations, identifies safety defects, and may cite railroads for violations. The GAO has found that the FRA faces three major rail safety challenges. One, implementation of its oversight of mandated safety measures and new railroad risk reduction plans; two, adjusting to changing rail traffic flows and, three, ensuring it has enough inspectors for its current and future oversight workload. FRA expects 30 percent of its field safety staff will be eligible to retire in the next five years.
Schumer and Blumenthal said that additional funding would be possible to secure due to the recent bipartisan budget deal. The resolution, which sets top-line spending levels through 2015, passed the House of Representatives last week and is set to pass the Senate this coming week. The House and Senate appropriations committees will now seek to pass legislation laying out individual program funding levels and priorities. Schumer wrote to leaders of the Senate Appropriations committee requesting additional funding for the FRA by meeting the administration's budget request for 2014.
Schumer and Blumenthal said that without the proper resources, inspections and certifications of new safety technologies could be unacceptably delayed. In a 2013 GAO report, the agency found that new technologies, such as automated control systems, are another challenge that FRA will have to incorporate into its rail safety oversight framework.

Tottenham are hoping to secure the heavily coveted transfer of midfield prodigy Alvaro Vadillo from La Liga side Real Betis.
The 18-year-old winger, often likened to Real Madrid golden boy Cristiano Ronaldo, is wanted by Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas as a replacement for Tottenham's top goalscorer Gareth Bale, according to the Metro.
Vadillo, a Spain Under-20 international, has reportedly caught the eye of Manchester United, AC Milan and the north London club, after performing impressively since becoming a first-team regular in December.
Hence, Spurs officials are keen to commence negotiations as soon as possible in order to agree a deal, before risking a move for the youngster being hijacked by bigger teams either next summer or in January.
The Spaniard, however - who has spent two years learning English in the hope of joining the Premier League - could be seen as a potential long-term prospect, with the Wales player Bale's future still unresolved.
Meanwhile, Villas-Boas has already signed Brazilian playmaker Paulinho and is hoping to bring in Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke before the start of the season, aided by Spurs technical director Franco Baldini.
And, with some reports claiming Ronaldo himself could be on his way back to Old Trafford, there could even be two 'Ronaldos' in English football for the upcoming campaign.

Reds Fan Since 1971
Don't forget the 02-03 team. They were solid in about every part of the game and fun to watch. Definitely having fun with this team though.
Reds Fan Since 1971
I'd really like to see Texas and Kentucky play, maybe in the championship. Both teams are damn good and fun to watch.
"I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings."
Hitters who avoid outs are the funnest.
Texas is definitely one team that could matchup with the inside-out combinations that UK can run at you (Wall-Patterson).
It would shape up to be a good battle.
"Booing on opening day is like telling grandma her house smells like old lady."--WOY
Coach Cal and the Wildcats raised over one million dollars for the Haitian relief fund during their telefund today. Incredible work by those guys.
There was a game yesterday.
I know some people might throw me under the bus for this, but I am starting to hope UK loses a game sometime this season. As nice as perfection would be, there is absolutely no "killer instinct" on this team.
I realize the last two games were on the road, but this is twice that we have seen UK build a 20 point lead and squander it. Eventually a more seasoned SEC team is going to come back, take the lead, and not give it up and pull off the upset.
I would rather they lose a game in January or February than go undefeated and then lose in March.
And then there was one. UK is the last undefeated team in D-1 basketball. Texas lost to Kansas State last night.
Reds Fan Since 1971
It feels so good to be back...
I watched the second half of the K-State Texas game last night. Frank Martin's team did a great job shutting down Dexter Pittman and Damian James. Pittman and Avery Bradley played with foul trouble the whole second half. Texas is the only team IMO with the depth to match Kentucky.
All good bench players:
Stevenson... seasoned big (played well with big minutes last season)
VERY impressive win today.
I'm hoping today is a confidence booster for Darius Miller. I've always said he has been the most timid player and a lot of that had to do with Billy the Clyde. He showed today he could be a pretty good deep threat and led UK with 18 points.
I'm really starting to think the whole attitude flap with Cousins isn't working. He got two teeth knocked out and still kept his composure. I know teams are going to take it to him to get him to go off and get kicked out of the game, but I am starting to wonder if and when his whole "attitude" scare is going to disappear.
If Darius can continue shooting the ball like he has been the past couple games, the Cats can beat anybody.
Cal was right, they would've smoked anybody in the country on Saturday.

Hacker Grabs 150k Adobe User Accounts Via SQL Injection 64
CowboyRobot writes "Adobe today confirmed that one of its databases has been breached by a hacker and that it had temporarily taken offline the affected Connectusers.com website. The hacker, who also goes by Adam Hima, told Dark Reading that the server he attacked was the Connectusers.com Web server, and that he exploited a SQL injection flaw to execute the attack. 'It was an SQL Injection vulnerability, somehow I was able to dump the database in less requests than normal people do,' he says. Users passwords for the Adobe Connectusers site were stored and hashed with MD5, he says, which made them 'easy to crack' with freely available tools. And Adobe wasn't using WAFs on the servers, he notes. Tal Beery, a security researcher at Imperva, analyzed the data dump in the Connectusers Pastebin post and found that the list appears to be valid and that the hacked database was relatively old."

This Week's Sermon: "God Is Most Glorified in Us When We Are Most Satisfied in Him"
God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him. This idea, called "Christian Hedonism" by some, is a massive and pervasive biblical truth that changes everything.
Perhaps the apostle Paul makes it clearest in Philippians 1:12–26.
So, taking up this text — the same as his January 1980 candidating sermon — John Piper clears the table for the biblical feast of pursuing God's glory and our joy, concluding with 11 illustrations from Scripture on how this looks in real life.
It's an understatement to say this is a very important message.

Everything on the show has my name on it, every bit of the set. One of the things I said to the set designer—who has done everything, I mean even Meet The Press, he does that level of news design—was "One of your inspirations should be [DaVinci's painting] The Last Supper." All the architecture of that room points at Jesus' head, the entire room is a halo, and he doesn't have a halo." And I said, "On the set, I'd like the lines of the set to converge on my head." And so if you look at the design, it all does, it all points at my head. And even radial lines on the floor, and on my podium, and watermarks in the images behind me, and all the vertices, are right behind my head. So there's a sort of sun-god burst quality about the set around me. And I love that. That's status.Speaking of Colbert and religion: Did you see his show on Thursday, with Paul Begala as the guest? Begala is going on about how he needed to teach Bill Clinton how to get his ideas across in short, simple form for the news. Begala describes how he made his point to Bill Clinton, who was bellyaching about how his wonky policies couldn't be condensed into sound bites. Begala reached in his back pocket and pulled out a copy of the New Testament that he's been carrying since 1979. At this point on the show, Begala actually pulls out the tattered, taped-together book and says he highlighted John 3:16 and handed it to Clinton. Begala hands the opened book to Colbert, points to the verse, tells Colbert to read it, and says he's going to time him to prove -- as he proved to Clinton -- how much can be said in 5 seconds. Colbert takes a slight glance at the book, flips it shut, looks straight at Begala and says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that those who believe in him shall not die but have eternal life." Begala says, triumphantly, "Four and a half seconds!" And Colbert says "That's the Christian sound bite."
I was struck by this moment on the show. The interview was going very well -- Begala speaking crisply (about speaking crisply) and Colbert slipping in perfect zingers. And then Begala wants to use the New Testament to prove a point about how he got through to Clinton. I felt that, reciting the verse, Colbert was not being the Colbert Report character but that his own religion was dictating that he had to say the verse as a demonstration of his own faith, and it wasn't right to fool around with that. I can't say why I feel so sure. The Colbert character would, I think, have been more pleased with himself to know the verse. You'd have felt the preen. I experienced this moment as a startling statement of faith, the kind of thing you don't normally see on TV.
The subject of Colbert and religion is an interesting one. He used to do "This Week in God" on "The Daily Show." When he was on "Fresh Air" a year ago, he talked about religion with Terry Gross:
Mr. COLBERT: This Week in God is--you know, This Week in God is, for me, a tightrope, because I--while I'm, you know, not a particularly religious person, I do go to church, which makes me kind of odd for my profession. You know, most people can't understand why I do, other comedians. And I have to walk that thin line because I don't want to criticize anyone's religions for the fact that it is a religion, and what's funny to me is what people do in the name of religion. ...I don't have a conclusion I'm driving at here. I love Steve Colbert and "The Colbert Report," and I'm fascinated by religion and comedy and the way the dissonance between the two affects a performer who is actually a believer.
GROSS: Now you grew up in a family with--What?--11 children?
Mr. COLBERT: Yeah, I'm one of 11 kids. I'm the youngest.
GROSS: And was it a religious family? You say you go to church and...
Mr. COLBERT: Oh, absolutely.
GROSS: Yeah.
Mr. COLBERT: We're, you know, very devout and, you know, I still go to church and, you know, my children are being raised in the Catholic Church. And I was actually my daughters' catechist last year for First Communion, which was a great opportunity to speak very simply and plainly about your faith without anybody saying, `Yeah, but do you believe that stuff?' which happens a lot in what I do.
GROSS: Can I ask you a kind of serious question about faith?
Mr. COLBERT: I've been turning all of your funny questions into serious things for an hour or so. I don't see why you can't do the same to me.
GROSS: In the sketch we heard earlier from "This Week In God," you talked about the Christian pharmacist who refused to fill a prescription for birth control.
Mr. COLBERT: Right.
GROSS: Now the Catholic Church opposes birth control, which...
Mr. COLBERT: They do.
GROSS: ...I presume you do not and...
Mr. COLBERT: Presume away.
GROSS: ...so how do you deal with contradictions between, like, the church and the way you live your life, which is something that a lot of people in the Catholic Church have to deal with?
Mr. COLBERT: Well, sure. You know, that's the hallmark of an American Catholic, is the individuation of America and the homogenation of the church; homogenation in terms of dogma. I love my church and I don't think that it actually makes zombies or unquestioning people. I think it's actually a church that values intellectualism, but certainly, it can become very dogmatically rigid.
Somebody once asked me, `How do you be a father'--'cause I'm a father of three children--`and be anti-authoritarian?' And I said, `Well, that's not nearly as hard as being anti-authoritarian and being a Roman Catholic,' you know? That's really patting your head and rubbing your belly at the same time. I don't know. You know, I don't believe that I can't disagree with my church and I'll leave it at that.
UPDATE: Ambivablog questions my use of the word "dissonance." So let me say that I mean it in a good way. It's more difficult to be comical around a subject you respect, and working through a difficulty makes what you do more interesting. By contrast, when George Carlin jokes about religion, his comedy on the subject feels cheap and thin, because it's just flat-out obvious that he hates religion. I'd much rather listen to Colbert on the subject, and not just because I'm not entertained by hate. Colbert has to struggle with a problem, and he chooses to make comedy out of a subject that is complicated for him. I love that.

What of the central question of democracy itself? Many have noted the trends of failing belief, the radical decline in voting, the massive role of money and corporate influence in lobbying, media, and elections- and in general, the large numbers who surveys show feel that "our national experiment in self-government is faltering." That millions of Americans believe "people like me have almost no say in the political system" has been a wake-up call for many on the left, right, and center.
Several lines of reassessment have become increasingly important as the crisis has deepened. The first, directed to foundational "grassroots" community issues, has come into ever more sharply defined focus in recent years.
The work of Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam kicked off a major debate on one aspect of the problem.
Putnam probed well beneath such surface-level issues as the fall-off in voting to focus instead on local citizen associations, networks, formal and informal clubs, neighborhood groups, unions, and the like. Large numbers of Americans, he suggested, were now both actually and metaphorically "bowling alone" rather than in association with others. Putnam suggested that a decline in associational activity, in turn, had produced a decline in trust and "social capital"—foundational requirements of democracy in general. His response was straightforward: the nation should develop as many ways as possible to encourage local involvement—the only way, he held, Americans could hope to renew the basis of democracy throughout the larger system.
Quite apart from Putnam's studies, general analysis, and recommendations (many of which were challenged by scholars), of particular interest was the explosive reaction to his argument—and the reorientation of strategic concern it represented. The outpouring of interest his first rather academic article on the subject produced revealed that Putnam had struck a powerful nerve. "Seldom has a thesis moved so quickly from scholarly obscurity to conventional wisdom," observed former White House aide and political scientist William Galston.
Especially important was what was not at the center of attention: Putnam and many who responded to him did not focus on national parties, national interest groups, national lobbying, national campaign finance laws, or national political phenomena in general. What he and they focused on was the "micro" level of citizen groups and citizen involvement. Here, at the very local level, was now the place to begin to look for democratic renewal.
The heart of the larger foundational argument—and this is a critical emphasis—might be put thus: Is it possible to have Democracy with a Big D in the system as a whole if you do not have real democracy with a small d at the level where people live, work, and raise families in their local communities? If the answer is no, then a necessary if not sufficient condition of rebuilding democracy in general is to get to work locally.
Putnam essentially put into modern form Tocqueville's contention that in "democratic countries knowledge of how to combine is the mother of all other forms of knowledge." There is also clearly a close connection between Nisbet-style "intermediate association" arguments for liberty and neo-Tocquevillian associational arguments for democracy.
But Tocqueville, in fact, had gone beyond "associations" to take up the deeper question of how—and whether—democratic practice is reflected not only in civil society, but in actual local government. "Municipal institutions," he stressed, "constitute the strength of free nations. Town meetings are to liberty what primary schools are to science; they bring it within the people's reach, they teach men how to use and enjoy it."
John Stuart Mill similarly held that direct experience with local governance was essential to "the peculiar training of a citizen, the practical part of the political education of a free people." Mill pointed out that "we do not learn to read or write, to ride or swim, by being merely told how to do it, but by doing it, so it is only by practicing popular government on a limited scale, that the people will ever learn how to exercise it on a larger."
Understood in this broader framework, Putnam's thesis is only one of a group of arguments that focus primary attention on what goes on in local communities. Indeed, an important and expanding group of theorists have picked up on the more demanding "small d" Tocqueville-Mill argument that an authentic experience of participation in local government decision making is essential if democracy is to be meaningful. A forceful statement of the more fundamental judgment is that of political scientist Stephen Elkin, a theorist who stresses that citizens must experience the actual use of power: "Civic associations cannot do [this] job: The element of authority is missing." Again, "for citizens to have any concern for the public interest . . . they must have the experience of grappling with its elements. For any significant number of citizens this can happen only through local political life."
Other democratic theorists who urge reinvigorating democracy through a renewal of local governing institutions include Jane Mansbridge, Michael Sandel, and Benjamin Barber. Mansbridge argues that citizens are "most likely to come to understand their real interests in a small democracy, like a town or workplace, where members make a conscious effort to choose democratic procedures appropriate to the various issues that arise." In his study, Democracy's Discontent, Sandel holds that it is important to recover the meaning of the "republican tradition" in American political life—a tradition that "taught that to be free is to share in governing a political community that controls its own fate. Self-government . . . requires political communities that control their destinies, and citizens who identify sufficiently with those communities to think and act with a view to the common good."
Barber's treatise on Strong Democracy emphasizes the importance of different forms of knowledge to different degrees of democratic practice: "[K]nowing your rights and knowing the law are concomitants," he suggests, "of minimalist or weak democratic politics." Something far more powerful is needed—and this requires a very different understanding of how knowledge is acquired. "In the strong democratic perspective, knowledge and the quest for knowledge tend to follow rather than to precede political engagement: give people some significant power and they will quickly appreciate the need for knowledge, but foist knowledge on them without giving them responsibility and they will display only indifference." It follows that "only direct political participation—activity that is explicitly public" can achieve real civic education in a democracy.
The necessity of an authentic experience of government has, of course, also been stressed over the years by numerous conservative theorists—and they, too, have consistently urged the importance of direct local involvement. Hayek speaks for many: "Nowhere has democracy ever worked well without a great measure of local self-government, providing a school of political training for the people at large . . . where responsibility can be learned and practiced in affairs with which most people are familiar, where it is the awareness of one's neighbor rather than some theoretical knowledge of the needs of other people which guides action."
The basic community-oriented emphasis can also be found in a line of arguments urging decentralization of government within large cities so as to increase opportunities for genuine participation. Early in the postwar era, philosopher Hannah Arendt (drawing on a Jeffersonian idea) suggested that "ward republics" be established at the neighborhood level. "It is futile," urban theorist Jane Jacobs similarly urges, "to expect that citizens will act with responsibility, verve and experience on big, city-wide issues when self-government has been rendered all but impossible on localized issues, which are often of the most direct importance to people." Jacobs, too, proposed transferring a number of municipal decisions to the level of neighborhood districts.
There are also converging themes of community self-determination in the work of important black theorists: political scientist Phillip Thompson, for instance, draws on the earlier work of W. E. B. Du Bois to argue, "Mass incarceration of black male youth, extensive state 'therapeutic' management of poor African American communities . . . make it clear that African American communities are in need of strong independent civic institutions capable of providing their own civic voice and social order in the face of extensive external corporate and governmental control."
The argument that nurturing democracy with a small d is necessary if big-D Democracy in the system as a whole is ever to be renewed brings into sharp relief some of the real-world conditions required to make this meaningful. A central question concerns the economic underpinnings of local democracy. It is obvious, for instance, that active citizen participation in local community efforts is all but impossible if the economic rug is regularly pulled out from under them. What, precisely, is "the community" when citizens are forced to move in and out of specific geographic localities because of volatile local economic conditions? Who has any real stake in long-term decisions?
That a substantial degree of economic stability is one of the critical preconditions of local involvement is documented in several important studies. A recent analysis of the 2000 election by the U.S. Census Bureau demonstrates that "citizens who had lived in the same home for five or more years had a voting rate of 72 percent . . . "—much higher than rates for individuals who had lived at their residences for a shorter time. Again, Sidney Verba, Kay Schlozman, and Henry Brady have shown that "years in community" is a positive predictor of both national and local-level civic involvement, with the effect nearly twice as strong for local involvement. Another detailed survey of nearly thirty thousand Americans undertaken in 2000 similarly shows that years lived in one's community and the expectation of staying in one's community are correlated with increased civic participation.
A related issue involves the power relationships that set the terms of reference for municipal government. Numerous scholarly studies have demonstrated that local government decision making commonly is heavily dominated by the local business community. Commonly, too, the thrust of decisions favorable to business groups radically constrains all other choices. The use of scarce resources to develop downtown areas, and especially to attract or retain major corporations, inevitably absorbs funds that might alternatively be used to help low- and moderate-income neighborhood housing, schools, and community services.
The issue is not simply one of distribution. City Limits, an aptly titled study by Harvard political scientist Paul Peterson, demonstrates that as a result of the underlying relationships, policy choices are often "limited to those few which can plausibly be shown to be conducive to the community's economic prosperity." Partly this is because businessowners have more money, hence usually more political influence. But quite apart from such considerations, local political leaders feel they must promote economic development, and they accordingly feel they need the help of the business community.
The "democracy with a small d" question is whether there can be any meaningful democratic decision making when allocations to achieve business priorities implicitly preempt alternative choices. If not—if most choices are radically hemmed in from the start by the need to be responsive to business—what is there to decide? And if there is little to decide, what is the meaning of democracy? And how, precisely, might the situation be altered, given the power of business interests in the system?
The conclusion—though not always brought into clear focus by theorists concerned with democracy and civil society—is inescapable: if the local foundations of democracy are to be meaningfully rebuilt, this also requires an approach to achieving greater local economic stability that does not rely so heavily on traditional business-oriented strategies. If municipalities are to be "delivered from their present economic bondage," political scientist David Imbroscio observes, they must find ways "to promote economic vitality in their jurisdictions via the implementation of 'alternative' economic development strategies based on something other than capturing footloose investment."
To the extent local economies can be made more stable, the economic environment in which local entrepreneurial businesses may flourish also obviously improves; hence, one of the foundational institutions of traditional conservative theories of liberty can also thereby be strengthened.
How to do this becomes the key question. One method is obvious: as many have noted, cities anchored by universities, state capitals, and other major public facilities commonly enjoy greater economic stability. Economist Ann Markusen also points to many community-stabilizing policies that have been used to deal with dislocations associated with the Department of Defense base closings and related experience. Many experts—for instance, city planning professor Arthur C. Nelson, and sociologists John R. Logan and Harvey L. Molotch—have proposed a range of "development-from-below" strategies. These include diverse education and training programs, and loan, tax, procurement, and other policies to encourage business retention, entrepreneurship, and neighborhood capital accumulation.
A more fundamental structural approach intersects with the asset-based strategies considered in Chapter 1. An important feature of worker-owned firms is that they not only change the ownership of wealth but also are far more anchored in local communities by virtue of the simple fact that worker-owners live in the community. "The only real way a community can regain control over its economic future is to rebuild from the ground up," urges Michael Shuman, the author of Going Local. Over the long haul, he adds, this can only be done by supporting the development of noncorporate "community-friendly" enterprises that have many integral links to the locality.
Real community democracy, in short, requires real community economic health—and the kinds of institutions that can sustain it.

Jon Oberheide, a security researcher who has done a lot of work on Android devices, also analyzed several versions of the Carrier IQ software and found the software has the ability to record some information, but that doesn't mean it's actually doing so.
Can our learned friend Jon elaborate as to whether this is legal under US law? Let him say it is, instead of trying to dampen the outrage surrounding this whole issue. I say this because a further below, he opines by saying the following:
"...the ability to
Go to jail over what? Nobody has really proved anything. Driving a car is dangerous under any scenario; someone should go to jail over this!
Bottom line, knee jerk report about stuff showing up in the logcat; research done. I didn't see anyone listening on the wire to see what was actually being sent, how it was being sent or give Carrier IQ and the carriers a chance to explain. It was just people with pitchforks and torches.
Why does someone "have to go to jail"? Will it fix something? Or is will tickle your sadistic fetish?
We don't live in times when lynching the first black guy who crosses the path of lynch mob was the right way to get justice for rape done by your neighbor, and that's exactly what you're asking for here.
People signed the contract that allowed them to do this. There are no laws that were broken. You and your neighbors elected people who decided that there was nothing illegal about this, as long as they were u
Actually, the trend of late is to use customers as additional products for sale often without the consent of the customers who are being [ab]used. It may take some doing to get law to reflect the moral problems of this sort of thing, but you can bet if the kind of data they are collecting on others was collected on the perpetrators and made public, it might make a few of them a bit upset to the point to taking legal action. No one want this done to them and especially not the ones doing it. So the morality of all this is certainly not in question. Now we just need some "do unto others" put into law.
Someone needs to go to jail to stop the avalanche of "me-too-ism" on this gold rush to exploit consumers.
You and your neighbors elected people
But what if you didn't?
Then you didn't use your right to vote, or didn't push your opinion around to convince more people that this is wrong, so why are you complaining now? It's with your silent acceptance that they made the laws.
Not that I'm against trying to convince other people to vote your way, but that likely isn't realistic for a few people to do in one (or even a few) elections. I think there's a point when you've done enough, and it's hard for me to blame them for poor politicians.
Here are three random articles from the front page of Slashdot, Reuters, and TheStreet.com:
Once upon a time, the important part of the URL - the identifier of 2225202 [slashdot.org] at Slashdot, idUSTRE7B019B20111205 [reuters.com] at Reuters, and 11332765 [thestreet.com] at TheStreet - was all that a potential URL-logger got to see. URLs were not only shorter, they had meaning relevant only to that one particular site's CMS, and it required Yahoo/Google/Bing/government-sized resources to follow every such link and map URLs to content on scales as big as "everyone who uses the WWW".
Except that nowadays, most URLs are rewritten with-redundant-text-for-SEO-purposes. Slashdot's URLs say researchers-say-carrier-iq-isnt-logging-data-texts [slashdot.org] Reuters' URLs say us-russia-election [reuters.com] and TheStreet's URL says its-official-facebook-buys-gowalla-team.html [thestreet.com].
All of a sudden, if I have access to the URL stream, I can now figure out that you're interested in Carrier IQ's spyware, the Russian elections, and whatever Facebook is up to this week -- with nothing more complicated than "grep".
I'm not advocating tinfoil haberdashery: there's no grand conspiracy of webmasters to make clickstreams greppable. It's merely a regrettable (for end user privacy) side effect of the relentless push towards SEO that organizations like Carrier IQ can get a lot more "interesting" information out of a user's clickstream than they would have been able to do as recently as two years ago.
And here I was wondering what he was up to lately...
Mod parent up. I didn't know the text after the article id was arbitrary and ignored.
The descriptive URLs are also more useful for situations where you might be seeing the URL on its own, such as in a message from a friend. A message saying "go check out story 2225202 on Slashdot" is unlikely to get someone's attention, but an address mentioning a specific issue might. In a link to an article on an unknown blog, descriptive words can inspire enough confidence to view the article, rather than lead to the expectation that the mess of numbers to be an obfuscation hiding our dear friend Goatse.
The trend may indeed have its roots in SEO, but I, for one, like it.
And even before that, back when websites were static things made by hand, URLs were generally human-readable and meaningful. The whole "arbitrary primary key in the URL" was a brief blip due to unsophisticated content management systems. It's not even to do with SEO; ask any consumer of a CMS if they'd rather their customers visit
Spelled that way because latest-scandal-breaks was already taken?
If I use any modern mobile 'phone then I assume anything I put on it and where it is can be read by the OS vendor and the carrier. The environment is too tightly controlled and lacking in openness for me to be able to come close to verifying otherwise. We can assume that the facility is only used on rare occasions because one significant revelation of data transmission will put people off buying the product, IOW the only thing keeping anyone safe is the "you're not important enough to matter" card.
But if you're doing anything remotely interesting, whether that's in industry or activism, you'd be a fucking idiot to use the routine features of a smartphone.
No kidding. They control the gateways... They control the connections... They can infer 99% of what you do by the data going thru *gasp* their servers... Anyone who doesnt know this is delusional...
So how do you get around something like this?
I'm already using a prepaid card in a non-carrier-branded smartphone, but I'm sure that prepaid card still gives my provider some level of access to my phone.
Has anyone else considered using an unbranded MiFi-type mobile broadband router in conjunction with VPN via the smartphone, and all communications (IM, E-Mail, VoIP) routed through that VPN? Shouldn't be a lot of snooping possible there, right? With no SIM-Card in the phone (or WiFi-only smartphone-sized dev
If CarrierIQ is making money from studying my behaviors, then I want a cut or I want to uninstall their craptastic software. I should not be forced to consume software I do not want. If Android wants analytics, then build it into Android OS. My relationship is with my phone manufacturer and the OS manufacturer. I should be able to decide what other relationships I want. CarrierIQ can contact me if they think their software somehow adds value to my experience. Otherwise, do more testing.

Just to be clear, CarrierIQ didn't put the software on your phone. Your mobile phone provider, with whom you do have a relationship, put it there. If you feel that is a violation of said relationship, take it up with them. No one forced your provider to install CarrierIQ.
No one forced your provider ti install CarrierIQ
And you have not a single shred of leverage to get the carrier to remove it.
Unless and until the hue and cry becomes so loud and congress takes an interest, they will all continue to foist
this stuff on the user, so your threat to take your business elsewhere means nothing.
If you don't object this camel's nose, you'll have the neck and forelegs soon.
CarrierIQ makes its living selling burglar tools. They can't survive without your acquiescence. Your carriers won't help you.
Go Senator Franken!
CarrierIQ makes money if you buy a phone and install a custom kernel - most likely a per-device contract.
CarrierIQ is making money by selling a service that carriers want. To reply to the original:
If Android wants analytics, then build it into Android OS.
Android doesn't, the carrier does, that's why they put it in.
My relationship is with my phone manufacturer and the OS manufacturer.
No, just the phone manufacturer, and only if you bought it directly. If you bought it through the carrier, your only relatio
Android doesn't, the carrier does, that's why they put it in.
Whoa, wait a sec. It really bothers me that people suggest (and the article also) that carriers need my DEVICE to send them the info of how I use their service? Don't they have like a log of everything I've ever done with my phone? How do they charge me then? Shall I promise I will be a good boy and not exceed my cheap monthly plan?
If someone at the carrier wants to record every SMS, phone call, or conversation then he or she has much simpler ways to accomplish the task. The carrier sees every exchange through its own equipment and could simply log the exchange in the network - at the network switch or cell site. Why is an application installed at the endpoint something especially sinister?
So do those 3rd party SMS apps, email clients, dialers, etc. This is strange or unusual; it just got a lot of press.
According to this video [wired.com] Carrier IQ has the ability to capture URLs that are entered, including HTTPS URLs. When a browser makes a secure connection (HTTPS), the URL is encrypted before the browser transmits it to the target webserver to protect any sensitive information it may contain. So the carrier would not be able to log such URLs through their equipment -- Carrier IQ allows them to do it by intercepting before encryption is applied.
Smith&Wesson and amen.
would carriers write it on their own?
carriers can't do jack shit on their own.
what happened is that someone who had good ties to carriers sold them this idea, probably laced the pep-talk with crap about how they can detect unauthorized tethering with it(neither carrier nor cIQ would put that into writing though you can be sure of that, even though that's the biggest logical use for this product - and if you check who is using it then you can put 1+1 together), got the contract and the rest is history.
carriers can't do jack shit on their own.
No, but they can outsource it to India
I personally blame CIQ because the intercepted credentials are being sent to CIQ property; none of the items intercepted are incidental to providing any form of service; they then traffic a derivative of the intercepted credentials to the subscribing carrier.
If you seriously don't understand why this is a big deal... how many decades of jailtime would YOU get if you secretly did this to a SINGLE client's machine.
Tossing a skimmer onto an ATM does NOT become "legal" simply because you promise to "throw away
Tossing a skimmer onto an ATM does NOT become "legal" simply because you promise to "throw away the odd numbered digits".
It does if the ATM provider tells you to, and you make that promise to the provider
"but as it's currently deployed by carriers it doesn't have the ability to record SMS messages, phone calls or keystrokes."
"Currently" is the key word here and is subject to change over time!
As usual, the crux of the matter has to do with TRANSPARENCY and CONSUMER CONSENT. The question of whether or not CarrierIQ is actually capturing user behavior through the software is important, but actually secondary to the fact that the carriers themselves do not TELL the consumer that (1) we've installed this logging software on your device; (2) it is not possible through normal means to deactivate it; (3) this software runs without any disclosure or agreement in your contract; (4) this software runs on your device even if you are no longer under contract or even subscribed as our customer; and (5) this software is not an integrated component of the device's operating system.
And why don't they tell you these things? Because they can get away with it. The fact that this software is so hidden from the user, and is NEVER mentioned in any of the legal documentation you are asked to sign, is all the reason why the consumer cannot and should not be expected to simply take either the mobile network operator or CarrierIQ at their word when they say they're not tracking personally identifiable information. Yes, researchers have chimed in with their findings. But such broad, unregulated, and pervasive tools as CarrierIQ have enormous potential for abuse, and it is simply unacceptable to allow these companies to just chalk it up to "sorry we kept this a secret from you, but TRUST US, it's all perfectly innocent." Yeah, bullshit. If it were truly so innocuous, why did you go through such lengths to hide it and make it difficult to disable or remove?
"If it were truly so innocuous, why did you go through such lengths to hide it and make it difficult to disable or remove?"
Because people like you would disable it and then complain that they have had 15 dropped calls in the last couple of days and make forum posts about how awful X carrier is when it could have been fixed relatively easy via anonymous data statistics (which, contrary to what everyone thinks, is all the carriers are PAYING for with CIQ).
I agree that CIQ should be stripped down to the point
What is wrong with taking customer complaint calls and responding that way? There will always be a few people that whine about bad coverage; that doesn't mean the problem is on the carrier's end. If the majority of customers have a good experience, things will work out.
Verizon, the US's largest carrier, does not use CarrierIQ. Verizon is also largely believed to have the best/most reliable coverage of the big four. Clearly, you don't NEED CarrierIQ to successfully manage a network.
If you read your contract, you agreed. And, they can already see nearly everything anyway. If you bought the phone directly and not through a carrier, you probably have a valid legal situation, but they most likely don't install CARRIERIQ on a direct purchased phone. And as for the post-termination data collection, I haven't seen anything showing the data is sent anywhere after the contract is terminated, or in fact any actual packet capture of any data sent - only internal events being fired.
Every text
> The fact that this software is so hidden from the user,
Exactly - this is a clandestine operation, and CarrierIQ has taken several steps to try to keep it such. "If you haven't done anything wrong, you don't mind being found out, hm?" Unfortunately CarrierIQ has all the hallmarks of something fishy going on.
And here comes the good part: the customer (we) have the right to go just with a rumour and vote with our feet. We need no investigate, no due process, no shred of tangible evidence. A suspicion
We never saw data leave the device. Simple. Don't trust anything, and prove data being sent with actual packet captures. Echkart's video shows events being caught, nothing more, as you pointed out. If someone says the next wave is harmless, it is simple to demonstrate that it's not. Explain it with as few syllables as possible with a video that anyone could reproduce. Get the word out right now that Eckhart's vieo is misleading, even if people don't understand exactly why.
Distrust everything, even secu
CarrierIQ claiming the responsibility is all on the carriers is a bit of a stretch. It's like a lock manufacturer giving your home builder (or mortgage company) a key to your house, then trying to claim they have no responsibility for how the home builder (or mortgage company) uses that key. Claiming "we didn't know they were going to rob or rape you" doesn't really absolve them of responsibility or liability.
Every email that you send whether encrypted or not travels through multiple servers on the internet and is stored, at least temporarily on each of those servers as it routes through the internet.
If you are concerned about privacy, you should not divulge sensitive information on the internet or use encrypted email and/or more secure point to point protocols.
The stark reality however, is that nobody is interested in spying on boring ordinary people never mind that spying on everyone would be prohibitively exp
So it's a framework for capturing what the carrier configures it to capture. What's important is, what does the carrier want to capture? If anyone gives a fat damn, we need to know how to get the configuration. Even if that means disassembling the code because configuration is done at compile time. Each carrier will be different, and I'm pretty sure each device could be different.
The patent tells us nothing.
The point is that if I buy a computer, I should do exactly what I want it to do. Installing any sort of software which I don't want for any reason is a step in the wrong direction.
Seriously, we need to get the operators and the hardware companies out of the software loop. I get my software from one place, the hardware from another and the wireless service comes from a third.
I fixed that issue. I just bought a Nokia N9.

2011 Baseball
Rose-Hulman 4, Bluffton 1
Rose-Hulman opens series with 4-1 win at Bluffton
April 9, 2011
By: Brandy Bidlack, sports information assistant
BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Bluffton University baseball team fell to Heartland Conference
rival Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, 4-1, on Saturday, April 9. With the loss,
the Beavers dropped to 9-14 overall with a 1-7 mark in the HCAC. The Engineers improved
to 15-8 with a 5-3 conference record.
In the top of the first, the Engineers took advantage of an early error to generate two runs when Derek Dauenbaugh doubled home Bobby Newman and Donald Stopka for a 2-0 lead. After a solo homer by Andrew Benitez in the third, the Beavers stepped up to the plate and responded with a tally of their own in the bottom of the frame. Back-to-back singles from Airic Steagall (Hillsboro) and Kyle Trainer (Mechanicsburg) put runners on first and second. Sophomore Kyle Niermann (Napoleon) plated Steagall with a base hit to left for Bluffton's only tally in the 4-1 setback.
Ryan Leugers (Botkins) was superb in his nine-inning complete game, allowing four runs, just two earned, on six hits with one walk and seven strikeouts. Jim Bob Schuler was also outstanding in improving to 5-0 on the season. He fanned 10 and gave up only one run on five hits with a walk.
Bluffton will be back in action on Sunday, April 10, when the Beavers host Rose-Hulman in a doubleheader at Memorial Field. The first game is scheduled to start at 1 p.m.

The games and activities will kick off between 9:30 and 10 a.m. at E.J. Mansell Stadium in DuBois. Students from the Brookville, Brockway, Punxsutawney and DuBois area school districts, as well
as New Story School and Fayette Resources, will compete in a variety of
events, including the softball throw, the running long jump, the 25 meter developmental, the 50 meter dash, the 100 meter dash and the 200 meter dash.
"They all look forward to it," said Frank Hetrick, Special Olympics committee member. "It's their day in the sun. They love the competition. They love meeting other kids."
Established in July 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Special Olympics is
a program in which competitive sporting events are provided for physically or mentally challenged athletes, though DuBois Jefferson County Special Olympics is targeted specifically at the mentally disabled.
Special Olympics was founded on the philosophy that people with intellectual disabilities can learn to enjoy and benefit from participation in individual and team sports, provided they have the proper instruction and encouragement. Its intent is to use athletic training and friendly competition to benefit the participants mentally, socially and spiritually.
The Special Olympics oath summarizes its spirit: "Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt."
DuBois-Jefferson County Special Olympics first came to the area when it was started in DuBois in 1980. Athletes from the aforementioned schools and organizations compete in sporting events throughout the year, ranging from soccer to swimming, bowling and basketball.
However, the Track and Field Competition is the largest DuBois-Jefferson County Special Olympics event, drawing as many as 175 special needs athletes ranging in age from eight to 80 to participate in the competitions.
"This, by far, is the single biggest gathering of Special Olympians," Hetrick said.
The location of the competition rotates between three school districts — Punxsutawney, Brookville and DuBois. This year and next, DuBois will be playing host to the event.
The Track and Field Competition features all of the aforementioned competitive events. Participating students are permitted to pick as many as three but can do one or two if that's all they want to take on.
The athletes have already chosen their events and have been practicing in the days leading up to the competition. Their respective school districts and organizations submit their students' events and their preliminary results so that the athletes can be grouped into heats of other participants of about the same ages and skill levels.
"It's ready to go when they get there," Hetrick said.
Ribbons for first, second and third place are awarded in each of the events.
"They're all very, very happy to do that," Hetrick said. "There are no sore losers. Everybody's a winner."
It's not all sports and competition, however. There's also the Olympic Village, an area set aside for games, arts and crafts, face painting and other fun activities for when the athletes are not competing. In addition to that, the day kicks off with a parade of athletes.
Volunteers, coming from the bi-county area as well as from the participating school districts, are always needed. It takes about 50 volunteers simply to run the events, Hetrick said, and many more when the other activities are taken into account. Some of them assist at the Olympic Village. Others help manage the individual events, help hand out ribbons and assist with the provided lunch. Many of the volunteers are paired up with one of the competitors to assist him or her between competitions and other events; every volunteer is given a map and a schedule of events to expedite this process.
Anyone interested in volunteering can do so either by calling Hetrick at 814-590-4274 or by simply showing up on the day of the event and offering their services.
For more information about the Special Olympics, contact county manager Stacey Truman at 814-849-2562 or email her at email@example.com.
There are rain dates set up in case of bad weather. Cancellations will be made early in the morning and announced on WPXZ radio 104.1.

New Lane Series Season Features Yo La Tengo, Roomful of Teeth
- 07-11-2014
- By Rebecca J Stone
The UVM Lane Series will once again present a season of exciting live performances on the UVM Campus. This year's season takes place primarily in the series' home venue, the UVM Recital Hall, with additional events scheduled at the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts, Fleming Museum and Mann Hall Gymnasium. Performance genres represented include world music, folk music, early music, film, dance, jazz, and of course the world-class classical music that the Lane is known for.
The soft opening will occur on Sept. 19 as a collaboration between the Lane Series and the UVM Department of Music and Dance. This partnership event, "NC Dances VT," features work by the Van Dyke Dance Group, Paul Besaw (UVM Dance chair) and Christal Brown (Middlebury Dance chair).
The season officially opens on Sept. 26 with the Grammy Award-winning vocal ensemble Roomful of Teeth. Their concert will feature a performance of their Pulitzer Prize award composition (by member Caroline Shaw) "Partita for Eight Voices," which explores the limits and dimensions of the human voice and is a piece of great grace and beauty.
Other new-to-Lane artists this year include the Juno Award winner Kiran Ahluwalia performing her contemporary take on Indian Ghazel singing accompanied by guitar, harmonium and tabla; French-Dominican Jazz singer Cyrille Aimée and her four-piece band; and the Nordic Fiddlers Bloc, an electrifying blend of fiddlers from Norway, Sweden and the Shetland Islands. Also making their Lane debut this year is the beloved Brentano String Quartet, and critical and audience darling, pianist Natasha Paremski.
Lane will also present some favorite returning artists, including The Rose Ensemble (in a program celebrating St. Francis of Assisi); Anonymous 4; blues guitarist and singer Eric Bibb; and the great singer-songwriter Peter Mulvey (performing with two fellow masterful musicians Kris Delmhorst and Jeffrey Foucault).
Lane Series also collaborates with the Flynn on three big shows this year: The Lovesong of R. Buckminster Fuller, a documentary narrated live by filmmaker Sam Green with an original score performed on stage by the legendary Indie Rock band Yo La Tengo; St. Patrick's Day with electrifying fiddler Eileen Ivers; and a large-scale residency and concert with musicians from five Nile nations entitled The Nile Project.
In a brand new endeavor, the Lane Series will partner with the UVM Department of Music and Dance to present four events throughout the year. These include a concert with jazz guitarist Dave Stryker, who will perform with the UVM Big Band; pianist Andrew Rangell; and two dance performances with guest artists.

Recent Jewish American Literature and Trauma (11/27/09; ALA 05/27-30/2010)
Recent Jewish American Literature and Trauma
Papers are invited for a proposed panel at the 2010 ALA Conference in San Francisco (May 27-30, 2010).
Much academic research has already been devoted to the problematic representation – in literature, film, and other forms of art – of primary traumatic experiences such as genocides or personal moments of crisis. Critics have also focused on the so-called inherited, transmitted, intergenerational, or transgenerational traumas that affect the second generation after the disaster. In the context of Jewish American literature, the second generation after the Shoah is represented by well-known authors such as Art Spiegelman, Melvin Jules Bukiet, and Thane Rosenbaum. Few critics have considered, however, exactly how – or whether – that historical burden also casts its long shadow over the subsequent generations. This panel would therefore like to investigate the ways in which the legacy of the Holocaust (possibly in conjunction with other traumata) is represented in the literary work of third and fourth generation Jewish American authors after the Shoah, writers such as Michael Chabon, Jonathan Safran Foer, Nicole Krauss, Judy Budnitz, Nathan Englander, Dara Horn, Joseph Skibell, Aryeh Lev Stollman, Ehud Havazelet, and others.
Please send an abstract of 250 to 300 words, together with a brief CV, to email@example.com by November 27, 2009. Make sure to mention all necessary contact information, as well as any need for audio-visual equipment. Papers should be approximately 20 minutes.

WATERLOO (AP) — A Waterloo man has been sentenced to ten years in federal prison for attacking a person at a convenience store and shooting his gun.
U.S. Attorney Sean Berry says 31-year-old Thaddeus Southall was sentenced Wednesday. He pleaded guilty in April to one count of possession of a firearm by a felon.
Prosecutors say Southall assaulted an individual at a Waterloo convenience store in November and threatened the store clerk. He is also accused of shooting a gun and hitting the individual's vehicle outside the store.
Waterloo police say Southall, who had previously been convicted of a felony offense, later fought with officers as they attempted to arrest him.

US Department of Labor provides grant increment to continue aid to Tennessee workers impacted by Goodyear closure
WASHINGTON The U.S. Department of Labor today announced a $2,118,609 National Emergency Grant increment to provide employment-related services to more than 960 workers impacted by the closure of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. facility located in Union City, Tenn.
"When a large employer closes its doors, it impacts not just employees but the entire community," said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. "The additional federal funds announced today will help Union City continue to recover from the closure of the Goodyear facility by providing job training and placement services so these dislocated workers can obtain new jobs in growing local industries."
On Nov. 7, 2011, the Labor Department awarded a grant to the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development for up to $3,448,259, with $1,329,650 released initially, to serve approximately 850 workers. The increment announced today completes the total amount of funding and serves additional workers.
National Emergency Grants are part of the secretary of labor's discretionary fund and are awarded based on a state's ability to meet specific guidelines. For more information, visit http://www.doleta.gov/NEG/.

If you can find any name that's not related to murdering your wife, go for it. Bonus points if it's catchy.
Thought of Al here. Either scenario is funny--though ones a comedy and the others a tragedy.
I don't think it's appropriate to refer to serial killings as a comedy.
in 20 years to life.
Oh, man, you guys kill me!
If you can find any name that's not related to murdering your wife, go for it. Bonus points if it's catchy.
I though they were changing it to "Open Journaling FileSystem".

My vote for MRDRFS.
REDRUMFS. As long as you don't use it for mirroring, no one will know.
Posting to undo mismoderation.
My data doesn't feel safe with a name like that.
THIS. At least rename the project FFS. Nobody would want " Ted Kaczynski FS" on their computer.
Call it "rfs" or something if you want to keep some tie with the original.
At least rename the project FFS
Catchy name...
Hah! Didn't even realize that. "FFS" wouldn't be a bad name.
If you can't change it, embrace it!
People always say X is the killer FS, no Y is the killer FS. Well, this one really is.
Dark humor aside, back in 2003-2004 in my university lab we were running a project that required processing of massive amounts of small files. I had trial runs over the linux file systems of the era and Reiser (I guess version 3 back then?) was so much faster in that context that it could actually save significant processing time. So it I always thought it a real shame that the main developer committed murder and development pretty much stopped back then. Yeah, there are now faster and better FSs, but perhaps Reiser would be a great option as well.

The problem is vendor lock-in.
No point. I mean Henry Ford was an anti-Semitic Nazi sympathizer, but they didn't change the company name because of that. Need to separate the person from the product.

Hans is that you?
How about something with a nautical theme, like Shipman?

Take a page out of the Android playbook only instead of naming the releases after something sweet, name them after a man convicted of murdering his wife.

So is O.J. in or out?
Following in the tradition of Unity Desktop, it should be renamed MaritalBlissFS.
What's also key is that the better points of ReiserFS, such as journaling, have migrated into other file systems. The experiment wasn't a failure, it was a darn good idea that has led to an overall improvement in reliability and speed of other file systems.
I've been watching Btrfs and it feels like they're merging in most of the features Reiser had in mind without saying so explicitly. I've considered it a spiritual successor for a while now.
Some people have different priorities.
Journaling is not the main attraction of ReiserFS. It's the validation of the million-small-file design. Why use a database? Why accumulate records in larger files? Just make every record a separate file (and Hans Reiser wanted to go even further down that path).
Numerous software systems have employed the million-small-file approach. It is simple, natural, attractive. There are lots of handy shell utilities for ad-hoc scripts and other useful tricks.
The ReiserFS was all about the namespace. We already have it in linux/unix. It's the file system namespace. It should be used to the fullest. Reading a small file should be as efficient as reading a line of a larger file.
Screw SQL. All data should be amenable to grep, awk, perl, od, rm, mv, ln, sort, head, cut &co.
You mean journaling and some other features migrated to ReiserFS...
It pushed some issues, also went about things the wrong way with the community.
Fundamentally, and this is an issue that caused community issues with Reiser pushed on it initially, a filesystem's integrity is paramount. People trust it to safely store data. Reliability tradeoffs for performance doesn't cut it; regardless of the benchmarks. The other thing, how committed is the community to taking care of it? Last thing you want is a c
One of the strneghts, and weaknesses, of the OSS community is trying bunches of things in parrell to see which ones pan out well. But after a point, it is probably better to just like a project die. Granted no one can tell the individual developers what is 'worth' their time since that is a personal matter, I am sure other projects could use their talents more then this one. ReiserFS is a solution looking for a problem where better solutions surpass it.
Yes, let the project die. And bury it. Out in the w
Reiser4 was supposed to give us a different way of working with file metadata by making files into directories, was supposed to allow us to set different file permissions on every line of
One of the strneghts, and weaknesses, of the OSS community is trying bunches of things in parrell to see which ones pan out well. But after a point, it is probably better to just like a project die.
It looks to me like the whole thing is in maintenance mode now anyways. Updates so newer kernels can access the file system are just enough so that legacy systems can be updated.
But after a point, it is probably better to just like a project die.
I see what you did there.
There's going to be a few off color jokes. May as well get started.
* It's a killer filesystem.
* My disk died. Was ReiserFS the murderer?
* It's more cutting edge than Reiser's knife.
* It's more cutting edge than Reiser's knife.
I think the classic phrase is, Reiser's razor.
its really Bleeding edged
Sorry for being on topic. I remember discussing this on
Anyway, enough dr phil and now on to IT stuff:
1) Most benchmarks don't matter. Nobody makes money running b
Sorry for being on topic. I remember discussing this on
Yeah, it was so terrible that they had evidence rather than loony conspiracy theories like Hans and his defense attorneys were throwing out. He was not some person being prosecuted for being "weird" or other such nonsense that you defenders kept claiming. He was an emotional and physical abusive asshole who murdered his wife for having the 'audacity' to leave an abusive relationship. He deserves no sympathy.
I'm still kinda surprised Hans actually did it
Yeah, you shouldn't be. It was obvious to the police, and to those of us here not in love with the 'aspie geek as lovable, misunderstood misanthrope' stereotype that he did it. The minute the evidence came out, it screamed "he totally fucking killed her!" From Nina disappearing without her passport or money or cell phone, to Hans hosing out the interior of his car, to buying police procedure textbooks, all after Nina started to separate from him... Don't let Alex Belits' contortions confuse you. It was a good conviction based on straightforward evidence of first degree murder.
I'm still kinda surprised Hans actually did it
I had thought that anyone with the genius to make a better file system would surely find an acceptable way to solve domestic problems. Why didn't he simply get a divorce? And that's why at first I thought he didn't do it. Instead, like Lisa Nowak, he served himself up as another example that even the brightest and presumably best among us can still lose it, and kick all sense of morality and civilized behavior to the curb. Temporary insanity doesn't explain it, nor does unstable teenage emotions. It's
On the bight side, Hans might have a 20 year all expenses paid development cycle ahead of him. Think of the contribution he could make if allowed to.
Talk about making productive use of prisoners time.
You're right, the Core 2 Duo machine with a SATA-1 7200 rpm disk that he got when he went into the clink will run un-fucking-believably well 20 years from now. That only leaves one problem...
There's no way for Hans to make meaningful progress without relatively unfettered Internet access, and there's no way any prisoner for his crime would be allowed that.
Not to mention that allowing someone to continue on his life's work undisturbed is not exactly the point of incarceration.
has much stigma due to Hans Reiser
Really? You can't just judge it based on it's features and performance?
So if Linus Torvalds ever commits a crime, you'll stop using Linux?
It's human nature. His name taints his work now. Most people don't want to look at shit while they're eating nor do they want to think of some asshole who killed his wife when formatting a file system.
I don't get this either. Being a genius doesn't preclude being a tyrant of some form. Being a murdered doesn't preclude being an incredible programmer.
I only wish we could give the guy a keyboard to bang away at in prison
Being a murdered doesn't preclude being an incredible programmer.
Actually I think that one would.
Nah, truly incredible programmers trap SIGKILL.
And maybe that's the real damning point. Reiser was arrogant enough to murder, but not clever enough to get away with it. I'm not sure I want a system-level software product of a mentality like that. The phrase "too clever by half" [tvtropes.org] comes to mind... clever enough to attempt something dangerous to my files, but not clever enough to actually make it succeed.
Really? You can't just judge it based on it's features and performance?
I can, but the rest of the world can't (or at least didn't). Not much point in using a filesystem that nobody else wants to support, even if their reasons aren't entirely rational.
The murder scandal got the project waylaid long enough that everyone else moved on.
Even if the stigma that threw banana peels in the way is gone, reiser4 is still far behind.
If it's open source, cannibalize it and take the features.
As far as I can tell btrfs has what features would be worth taking and then some - and is under more active development. I think reiserfs is dead long-term.
I ran reiser3 for a long time. I was happy with it. But these days I'm on ext4 (and eyeing btrfs). Wonderful thing about btrfs and the ext* FS's is that they provided a migration plan. Reiser4 (at least last I checked) could not convert an existing FS (even reiser3). btrfs can even convert ext4 and allow you *TO GO BACK* if you want. How awesome is that?
There is no reason why a convict should be denied the tools and space to develop software when that software is in everyone's best interest. Even if it was some sort of nonsense app that would provide an income for a convict following release or just keep his skills up to par so that he had hope of earning a living upon release it would be in the public interest.
One of the main reasons for another conviction often relates to convicts being kept out of decent jobs when they are put on the streets. If people can not earn a living they don't just dry out like a worm on a sidewalk. A legal living made unavailable will steer them into crime, or cause drunken behaviors that lead to re-arrest.
There is no reason why a convict should be denied the tools and space to develop software when that software is in everyone's best interest.
In general, no. However, have you seen his handwritten letters [wired.com] and read the text of his complaints and demands? The guy is seriously delusional and deep in denial. I don't think I'd want to trust my data to code written by a mind that unhinged.
Lack of knowledge is so sad. One has only to have a passing understanding of data models to read Reiser's paper and realise he
does not understand the fundamental concepts of the field. Such a waste of time, money and talents.
I stopped using ReiserFS long before it's namesake was arrested. It used to lose data. That's pretty much a showstopper for a filesystem who's claim to fame was reliability.
I never saw that running on decent hardware with battery backed RAID units. I saw significant dataloss the one time I tried XFS (all of - ooh, a month ago) and had to nuke the entire server and start over.
We run ext4 rather than reiserfs mostly now, but it served us well for very many years.
Mind you - I did try reiser4 on my laptop for a bit back in 2004, and I had dataloss there. Never had dataloss with reiser3 though, except the really early versions. Even then it was a lot better than ext2, which was
The bottom of the first page in Phoronix's benchmarks says "The disk drive being used for all testing was a high-end 160GB Intel SSD." Since different filesystems are optimized for different things, it seems such benchmarks could be completely irrelevant for anyone using hard drives (where seek times are very significant compared to SSD).
The murder of his wife was the straw that broke the camel's back, but for me, I started turning away from Reiser based on the sliminess of the Burke character he played in "Aliens". Of course, that "Mad About You" shit didn't help much, either.
of an acclaimed FS is on the horizon and we laugh at its creator who murdered his wife. Im not sure how it works in other countries, but in America the prison system is just another device for enacting biblical retribution. Hans isnt seeing any treatment for his actions, rather hes spending 15 years to life in prison.
Depending on your personal conviction to things like the death penalty and crime in general, you could consider the man who brought you a glorious experiment, ReiserFS, is a sick man. He's b
