Summer Programs for Minors Insurance
When planning a new camp or special event a Risk Management Assessment Form (RMAF) must be submitted to the Office of Risk Management and Compliance (RMC) at least forty-five (45) days prior to the event.
Information provided within the RMAF will be used to determine if additional risk controls or insurance should be implemented. The camp or event will not need to be assessed for future dates unless the scope of the activities change. At that time the event coordinator will need to submit a Summer Camp & Event Application Form and flyer/information to RMC at least forty-five (45) days. An account number and signature must be included in order for the application to be processed. The appropriate Waiver Form is provided below for your use.
The Event Compliance Packet (ECP) must be submitted to Employee Services at forty-five (45) days prior to the date of the event. Signed Background Check forms must be submitted for all camp employees for the ECP to be processed.
Within 5 days of the completion of the camp, an actual number of participants must be submitted to RMC to insure the timely reporting of this information to process payment of the necessary insurance.
Please use the link below for obtaining insurance for your next event.

Claim Reporting for Property Losses
In the event of damage to a building and/or contents the department should immediately notify the Office of Risk Management and Compliance by telephone or written report detailing the cause and nature of the damaged property.
The department should compile an inventory of all destroyed and damaged property, giving actual cash value. RMC will work closely with the department suffering the loss to coordinate all claims.
Click on the link below to complete the property loss form. Once the form is completed fax or mail it to the Office of Risk Management and Compliance at 254-968-9658 or Box T-0830.
Fleet Insurance
Claim Reporting for Automobile Accidents
Any employee involved in an accident while operating a vehicle owned or leased by Tarleton State University, must complete the following:
- Fill out a "Motor Vehicle Accident Report" form (you can also obtain a form from your departmental vehicle coordinator).
- Fax or email the form to Risk Management and Compliance (RMC) at (254) 968-9658, or firstname.lastname@example.com within 24 hrs of the accident.
- Fax the Police Report and any Supplemental information to RMC at (254) 968-9658 as soon as possible.
General Information
The following procedures should be followed whenever a Tarleton State University vehicle is involved in an accident, regardless of the extent of damage:
- Stop immediately and notify the proper law enforcement agency so that an official report can document the accident.
- Take necessary steps to prevent another accident.
- Call emergency medical services (911) if necessary. Render aid to the injured until help arrives.
- Do not make any statement, oral or written, regarding fault. Any admission of fault may impair the insurer's ability to defend a case of questionable legal liability. Appropriate legal authorities will decide fault or liability. While the driver signature is required if a traffic citation is issued, the signature does not constitute an admission of guilt. The signature shows that the driver has read and understands the charge(s) against them.
- Record the names and addresses of all witnesses.
- Provide all required information to the law enforcement officer.
- While at the scene of the accident, secure information needed to complete the Motor Vehicle Accident Report (System Form 9). The police officer will assist in providing the necessary information. Do not leave blank spaces. Vehicle coordinators are responsible for ensuring accident information is reported by phone call within 24 hours to (254) 968-9898. Vehicle coordinators are responsible for providing a completed Motor Vehicle Accident Report (System Form 9) to RMC within 36 hours of the accident.
- It is the responsibility of the vehicle coordinator to obtain a copy of the police report. A copy of the report should be submitted to RMC.
- If a vehicle is inoperable, the driver should contact the vehicle coordinator for towing instructions.
- When towing a vehicle, remove the logbook, keys, fuel cards and all property, which might be lost or stolen.
- All accidents within the state of Texas that involve the injury or death of any person or damage of property exceeding $500.00 must be reported to the Texas Department of Public Safety. This report must be made within 10 days of the accident by means of a Driver's Confidential Accident Report (Form ST-2) provided by the police officer. The liability insurance policy number, which is necessary to complete the form, can be obtained from the vehicle coordinator.

Brent Bishop of WRL General Contractors, Ltd. of Flint, which is construction manager for the renovation, said the overall project is on track to use the stadium for Gilmer High School graduation ceremonies in June, although the new 2-story press box won't be completed until early or mid-summer.
The stadium's home side total seating is being expanded from its past 1,800 to slightly more than 2,900, and the number of orange chairback seats there is being enlarged from the past 600 to about 1,000, said School Supt. Rick Albritton. Many seats will have rail backs.
The project was undertaken partly due to deteriorating concrete under the old home side stands. All the work is on the home side.
Bleachers will rise much higher than before, and Bishop said they will run into the end zone after stopping at the 10-yard-line in the past. "Every seat has a good view" now, said Bishop, a 1994 Gilmer High graduate who is the son of Dr. and Mrs. Wesley Bishop.
The stadium's approximately 50-year-old one-story press box was demolished sometime after the project began in November. The new one will contain 2,200 square feet, about 700 more than the former one, and will seat 38, Albritton said.
The press box's bottom floor will contain rest rooms, and the facility will have an elevator as well as "fire-ready" stairs. In addition, Bishop said work on the press box itself at the 51-year-old stadium is progressing "faster than I thought" it would.
He further said the new home side bleachers, which have largely been installed, will offer "phenomenal" handicap access.
Many of the orange chairs for season ticket holders have been installed, and metal wall panels for the press box are scheduled for installation in about a week, he said. Hanging of drywall has started in the interior, Bishop added.
Thacker/Davis Architects, Inc. of Longview is architect for the renovation.
Still to be determined is the ticklish issue of how the highly coveted orange seats will be sold. With the Gilmer Buckeyes having reached four state championship games since 2004, winning two, a lengthy waiting list for the seats has developed.
School board President Jeff Rash said the board might need 4-6 hours at a future meeting to "hash this out." Board members informally indicated they wanted to hold a work day on the matter.

Museum specimens of rare artifacts often have enlightening individual stories. They also serve as models for replications that can be directly tested, giving us examples of particular technologies, and some insights into their capabilities and possible uses. The Aztec Atlatl in the British Museum, and the unusual atlatls recovered by Cushing's 19th century excavations in Florida are examples of well known but little studied artifacts.

Revision as of 18:40, 8 February 2007
Document Status
2/8/07: This is a draft document. It has not been reviewed and approved by the DTP PMC, so it should be taken only as one possible option.
DTP 1.5 is part of the Europa release. As such, our milestones, release candidates, and final release date are determined by Europa. DTP is a "+1 dependency" on the Eclipse platform, and the dates of specific milestones can be found here, Milestones and Release Candidates section. Within these milestones and release candidates, DTP will have regular "integration builds" (or "I-builds") so that adopters can check progress toward eventual milestones. As discussed in the DTP 1.5 Project Plan, DTP will strive to have an I-build as soon as possible after platform milestone and release candidate builds. The purpose of this page is to supplement the project plan with further definition of terms and dates.
Definition of Terms
Following general Eclipse usage, DTP 1.5 will have the following types of builds:
- Nightly Build (N-build): Created from CVS head and posted with minimal testing. Primarily designed for use by committers and adopters requiring certain bug fixes or enhancements as early as possible.
- Integration Build (I-build): A nightly build that is smoke tested for major functionality and found to be in at least reasonable working order.
- Milestone (M-build): An I-build that has been substantially tested and functioning correctly in all major aspects.
- Release Candidate (RC): Similar to a M-build, but with the expectation that remaining bugs will be fixed in a ramp-down (endgame) mode.
DTP 1.5 I-build Dates
The following is the projected I-build dates for DTP 1.5. Note that these dates may be adjusted going forward as experience demands, and that hitting each of these dates is a complex function involving many interdependent tasks, so no absolute guarantee can be offered in advance.
- DTP 1.5M5: 2/12 (Monday)
- DTP 1.5M6: 2/26 (Monday), 3/12 (Monday), 3/26 (Monday)
- DTP 1.5RC0: 4/9 (Monday), 4/23 (Monday), 5/7 (Monday)

1) Who were you expecting in the house? Where you disappointed it wasn't Edward?
-I was fully expecting to see Edward in the house. I was very disappointed when it wasn't him ):
2) Did Alice's reaction to the news of werewolves in Forks taint your opinion of the pack?
-No, not really. My opinion of them wasn't that good to begin with. It just sort of confirmed some of my thoughts.
3) What do you think of Alice's history? Do you find her parents to have been barbaric?
-Alice's story was sad ): I hate thinking of sweet little Alice like that. I don't think her parents were barbaric, just that they didn't know how to deal with Alice's visions, not that what they did was right by any means.
4) This is our first real glimpse into Charlie's pain over Bella. How did the scene between Charlie and Alice effect your opinion of Charlie as a parent?
-AWH! It just made me love him more ! It was sooo sweet. We thought this whole time he didn't notice Bella's pain, but it turns out he knew everything from the beginning.
5) An important piece of information was learned in this chapter regarding Alice's second sight & werewolves. How do you think this effected Alice's confidence?
-I think it effected her confidence just a little bit. Alice hates being blind, so it definetly made her feel a tiny bit less confident when it came to her visions.

For the lively This Ain't No Holiday Inn: Down and Out at the Chelsea Hotel 1980-1995, Lough interviewed dozens of former long-term residents to compile an oral record of the hotel's "grand finale" as sanctuary for artistic, Bohemian personalities under manager Stanley Bard.
How different is the Chelsea Hotel of today from the one you describe?
The Chelsea isn't even a shadow of its former self. The rooms famous for housing well-known artists are being gutted, and long-time residents are being kicked out and harassed. The artist-loving attitude is gone. In 2007, the hotel's board kicked Stanley Bard out as manager because, as I understand it, they didn't believe the hotel was making the money it could have been making during the real estate spike (which turned out to be a bubble). But subsequent managers haven't done as well as Bard did. He knew how to navigate the hotel through economic ups and downs while preserving its unique status as a haven for artists.
Despite some of the heavy subject matter, the residents tell their stories with gusto and a sense of nostalgia. Still, you write that this group was pretty insular and might have been "cagey" about agreeing to talk to you. What is it about the hotel that provokes these reactions?
Despite the hardships many of the artists lived through at the Chelsea, none of the folks I interviewed about their time there regretted it. (Well, one woman wished she'd gotten out more). The fact was the Chelsea was a locus of infinite toleration. The residents were free to behave as well or as badly as they wanted, as long as they didn't disturb the other residents too badly. When artists felt that toleration, they felt like they'd been set free. Anytime you feel freed up from social convention, it's exhilarating and liberating. So they took advantage of their freedom. Sometimes that led to creative inspiration, and sometimes it led to some very dark places. One of these dark places was the realm at the other side of the law. Drug dealers, pimps and prostitutes, con-men, and petty criminals could all take advantage of the same freedom as the artists did at the Chelsea. Of course they were cautious about talking to me because the law is the law!
How important is it that creativity and potential destruction ("the danger of failure") go hand-in-hand?
It's a very Romantic idea that creativity and self-destruction go hand-in-hand. Historically, it's a rather new idea, only about 200 years old, and it's obviously not always true. I teach at an art college, and some of my students have told me they need to suffer more to become better writers. I tell them they don't have to seek out suffering—it'll gladly come their way. But what may be true about the Romantic attitude is that artists tend to be like antennae, very sensitive to what's going on around them. All the stimulae can be painful and hard to sort out, especially when you're young. Drugs and alcohol can pad you against the pain for a while, before they themselves become a source of pain. Too much of a good thing in an atmosphere as tolerant as the Chelsea, and artists, as one resident said, "can burn out rather spectacularly."
What favorite tidbits did you uncover in the course of your interviews?
The first tidbit I discovered about the Chelsea wasn't so much a tidbit as a jaw-dropping realization. I thought I was going to go into the hotel and write the "definitive" book about the place. After a day or two there, I realized a definitive story would require a set of encyclopedias. The stories there were endless, coursing through the rooms and halls.
No matter how zany and decadent artists like the Beat writers and punk rockers were, the artistically successful ones like Herbert Huncke and Gregory Corso and Dee Dee Ramone had a very traditional work ethic. I guess you could call it the Protestant work ethic turned toward artistic work. They knew the work didn't just happen—they had to make it happen over and over. Sure, lots of artists who lived at the Chelsea never made much of an artistic or commercial mark on the world. But the ones who did knew that real artists are self-disciplined. And the Chelsea, with its thick, sand-filled walls, could also provide lots of quiet space for artists to work in.
Also, there was a very evident class system at the Chelsea, indicated by which floor you lived on: rich artists lived on the top floors; poor fledglings lived on the bottom. And I could be wrong, but I never heard stories of snobbery there (except one about Picasso). Whether rich or poor, successful or not, the attitude was, "We are all artists and nonconformists, and we have found a place where we feel at home."
You write, "now only the wealthy can live in a city like New York." Is the true alternative lifestyle incompatible with the economic realities of big, metropolitan cities?
Sadly, I am of that current, sad opinion that you put so well. Maybe it's not in Detroit, where it's still affordable, though I've heard depressing. But most big cities that once attracted young artists are just too expensive unless they're upper-middle class or above. I just returned from San Francisco. The Mission District there, which was half-Latino and half Bohemian paradise, has been bought out by corporate elites from Silicon Valley. These big private, black-windowed Darth Vader buses (colloquially called Google buses) circulate throughout the Mission, ferrying employees in the high-tech industries between San Francisco and San Jose, because none of them want to live in San Jose. I don't blame them. We didn't either, when I lived in SF. But it's money that pushed half the Latinos and Bohemians out of the Mission. There's still a trace of Bohemian life surviving there, but it's on life support.

Developing Highly Distributed Applications with Jtrixby Nik Silver
Jtrix is an open source Java platform for creating highly scalable, distributed, and efficient Web services. This article describes Jtrix, compares it to other Java technologies, and illustrates how to write a Jtrix application -- both a client, and the service it uses. You can download Jtrix from the Jtrix.org Web site or look it up on Sourceforge.
What is Jtrix?How can you write an application that is economical to run? To answer this question, you need several things. You cannot create everything yourself, so you'll need to outsource some services: database, server farms, DNS server, credit card authorization, etc. And of course, you should expect to pay for these services, so you and your service providers need to measure usage accurately. If your application is successful, you'll need to allocate more processing power and more server space in various parts of the world. And you shouldn't have to rewrite your application to cope with that.
Jtrix addresses these issues. It's about creating and using Web services of any kind, and making applications distributed for reliability and mobile so they can move to new locations. Those roaming Jtrix programs are called netlets, and many netlets will work together to provide a highly scaled, distributed service or application. Each netlet will run on a node -- a Jtrix runtime environment.
But Jtrix is also about making applications sensitive to resource usage and need. Applications should be able to grow and shrink as needed, so they don't cost a fortune to run before demand increases, or when it shrinks. In the Jtrix world, the same application will cost 1,000 times less to run when there are 1,000 times fewer users. If you ran a dot-com a few years ago, you'll appreciate the business need for such an architecture.
How Does Jtrix Compare to ...
Jtrix has been inspired by many technologies, most of them Java-based. As befits a highly distributed system, Jtrix is very peer to peer. But whereas JXTA is a P2P communications system, Jtrix doesn't care how its communication works. A Jtrix application can use JXTA if it likes, or it can use something else. We're actually considering using JXTA in a couple of places; if it had been released five months earlier, we might be using it already.
The 2002 O'Reilly Emerging Technologies Conference explored how P2P and Web services are coming together in a new Internet operating system.
Another P2P touchstone is Gnutella. In fact, Gnutella would be a good application for Jtrix, but this is only one possibility; Jtrix is far more general and is intended for all kinds of Web services.
Jtrix's concept of accessing services is very close to Jini, because when one netlet uses a service, it's provided by a second, downloaded, netlet. That second netlet may be a simple proxy or carry a lot of intelligence. But Jtrix is very strong on security, so neither netlet can trust the other enough to let it run in its own class space. The node ensures the two are separated from each other and itself. So Jini is suited to a trusted Intranet environment, while Jtrix is designed for the hostile world of the Internet.
Enterprise Java Beans are all about distributed systems, too. The EJB concept of an application is very much the client/server, three-tier architecture, whereas Jtrix applications are much more P2P and don't enforce any heirarchy among netlets. Also, EJB distributes objects, which again download into the client's class space; Jtrix netlets are separated, as we've already said, and they are more about delivering full services, not just single objects.
Actually, since EJB servers are much higher level than Jtrix, an EJB server would be an excellent application to implement in Jtrix. It would produce a very highly scalable and mobile application server with all the high-level functionality of EJBs.
Jtrix Jargon
We've already met netlet and nodes. A netlet must
implement the
INetlet interface. It is
described by an XML netlet descriptor, which tells
the node how to get the netlet's code, load it and initialize it.
We also know that any Jtrix application can provide or use a
service. A service connection is a two-way deal, and if
your netlet uses a service, then it must offer one in return, even if it has no function. The class
NullService provides a do-nothing service for this purpose.
A service is accessed by means of a warrant, which is an XML document. The warrant will have been issued by the service provider, probably to you personally, so that when you use it they recognize you. Then they can give you access to your "account" (your files, in the example of a data storage service), and bill you if needed.
To connect to a service, we say you bind to it. The node handles all connection details. Once you've bound to a service, you can access one of its facets, which is just any Java interface it offers. Getting a facet is also called binding.
Any of these facet interfaces will implement the
IRemote interface,
in much the same way that RMI has its
Remote interface.
In Jtrix, all interfaces start with the letter
I, just so we know what we're dealing with.
Hello, Jtrix World
Here's a "Hello, World" program in Jtrix. We're first
writing a client netlet which uses a Jtrix "Hello, World" service;
we'll write the service itself later.
The client takes a warrant, asks the node to bind the corresponding
service, binds the facet offered by the service (
and then gets the message contained within. This code and more is discussed
in the complete programmer's guide,
"How to Write Netlets."
All of the Jtrix JARs and tools needed are in the download bundle
on the site.
First, here's the definition of the
package org.jtrix.project.helloworld;
import org.jtrix.base.*;
public interface IHelloFacet extends IRemote
public String getMessage();
Now here's the netlet. Most of it is made up of trivial do-nothing implementations
of methods in the
INetlet interface. The
method does all of the real work. (Note the British spelling!)
It binds to the service, gets the
facet, and uses it. It offers the
NullService mentioned above
as its side of the two-way service connection.
package org.jtrix.project.helloworld;
import org.jtrix.base.*;
import org.jtrix.project.libjtrix.netlet.NullService;
/** Netlet which accesses a hello world service using a warrant
* read from an incoming parameter.
public class Hello1Client implements INetlet
public byte[] initialise(INode node, Object param, byte[] unsigned)
throws InitialiseException
// Get the warrant, use it bind the service, and then get the facet
Warrant warrant = (Warrant)param;
IService service = node.bindService(warrant, new NullService());
String hf_name = IHelloFacet.class.getName();
IHelloFacet facet = (IHelloFacet) service.bindFacet(hf_name);
// Use the facet
return null;
catch (Throwable e)
System.out.println("Sorry, no message available");
throw new InitialiseException(e.toString());
public void terminate(long date, IShutdownProgress progress)
// Nothing to clean up when we terminate
public IService bindService(Warrant warrant, IService consumer)
throws ServiceBindException
// This netlet offers no services to other netlets using warrants
throw new ServiceBindException();
public String[] getFacets()
// This netlet offers no facets to the node
return new String[0];
public IRemote bindFacet(String facet) throws FacetBindException
// The node shouldn't try to bind facets from here
throw new FacetBindException();
} // Hello1Client
To compile this, you need
jtrix.jar and
on your classpath, and you can put both classes into
However, this client netlet is useless without a "Hello, World" service. So let's write that next.
What is a Jtrix Service?
To recap, a Jtrix service is anything that offers features and functionality to a netlet any time, anywhere. We'll get to the "any time, anywhere" part in a moment, but first, here are some examples of Jtrix services:
- A "Hello, World" service. Provides a message to a netlet. We'll be writing that here.
- A hosting service. Provides a runtime environment for netlets and an upload interface for remote access. Also provides them with resources, such as disk space and networking. By accessing several hosting services simultaneously you can ensure your application is distributed and redundant.
- A servlet engine service. Allows a consumer to upload a WAR file of servlets and JSPs, and processes them as needed, returning HTML pages.
- A DNS service. Acts as a distributed DNS server and allows a consumer to update their own DNS information, manage subdomains, etc.
- An HTTP service. Listens for incoming HTTP requests and handles them appropriately. It can use the servlet engine service to outsource JSP requests. And it can use the DNS service, so it can update the location of a site if one server fails and it starts a replacement elsewhere.
In fact, all of these services have already been created, with the servlet service being a Jtrix wrapper around the Tomcat servlet engine. You can download them from the site.
The "any time, anywhere" part of a service is a central principle of Jtrix. Jtrix aims to provide services that are always available to anyone who has the rights to access them. It recognizes the fact that servers are never 100% reliable, so Jtrix services tend to be distributed and redundant.
What Makes Up a Service?
There are really only two necessary parts to a Jtrix service. The first is a warrant -- an XML document that allows the holder access to a service. The client netlet presents the warrant to its node, which then puts it in touch with the service.
When the node is given a warrant it downloads a new netlet, the access point netlet -- the second required part of a Jtrix service. The client netlet talks to the access point netlet, which then fulfills the service, most likely by proxying requests back to a central server.
An access point netlet is a bit like an RMI stub, but there are key differences. For one thing, the access point netlet represents the entire service, not a single object. For another, it never runs in the same class space as the client code, thus ensuring security and version safety.
We might think that a server would be an essential part of a Jtrix service, but this is not so. An access point netlet doesn't have to proxy requests back to a server; it could deal with them itself.

"The problem is this year the player who has impressed me most is not actually playing in the Champions League. He is playing in 'the other cup', and that is Bale," Zinedine Zidane said last season. It showed how highly the 1998 World Cup winner rates the young Welsh winger.
Consider the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi graced the Champions League, and it highlights Gareth Bale's potential to be better than the two Ballon d'Or winners.
After joining the coaching team at Bernabeu this season, Zizuo is pushing Florentino Perez to bring the most impressive player on the planet to the Spanish capital.
So what does the richest club in the world offer Bale? A fat paycheque to the order of £200,000-per-week will be a certainty. A regular place in the starting line-up boasting of Ronaldo, Mesut Ozil, Sergio Ramos and Iker Casillas would be a necessity to separate Bale from Andre Villas-Boas. Most importantly, it offers Bale the opportunity to win trophies and be the signing who won Real Madrid 'la decima'.
Where will Ancelotti play him? Will he be given the freedom and the opportunity to develop, which he enjoys under Villas-Boas at the White Hart Lane?
The answer to the second is a straight 'no'. Madrid is a huge club and the club is bigger than any single player. Bale won't be given a free role and the license to roam. But no one can take the away the opportunity to learn and improve. He would definitely have a better peer group of players to learn from.
Coming to his place in the starting 11, given the amount of attacking talent in the club Bale cannot be assured a starting berth in every game. Ancelotti has shown his ability to manage big players at PSG. So, Bale's reputation is not going to guarantee a starting berth.
Bale has to fight for with Angel Di Maria for his place as the inverted winger on right flank. Madrid's new boy Isco's versatility and ability to play as a winger further heightens the competition.
But Bale would act as the perfect counter-foil for Ronaldo. With teams doubling and tripling up on the former Manchester United player, it leaves huge space on the opposite flank. The world is aware of Bale's ability when offered space to play in. The same could happen with Ronaldo if teams cramp down Bale on the right.
This move to Madrid looks inevitable for the Cardiff-born wonderboy. But the question is when? Will he stay for another year at Tottenham and help them win some silverware? Or will he be the one who won la decima?

STOCKTON - Challenger Anthony Silva has won the race for Stockton mayor over incumbent Ann Johnston late Tuesday, signaling that residents could be hungry for change in a city beset by a record number of murders and bankruptcy.
STOCKTON - Challenger Anthony Silva has won the race for Stockton mayor over incumbent Ann Johnston late Tuesday, signaling that residents could be hungry for change in a city beset by a record number of murders and bankruptcy.
With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Silva had taken 58 percent of the votes over Johnston's 42 percent.
"Ann has always been a good cheerleader," Silva said. "It's about who voters think will put more police on the streets and address the crime issue. We are optimistic, but until more votes are counted, I am not able to declare victory."
At 11:30 p.m., the incumbent mayor still was not giving up.
"Oh no, absolutely not. Never give up," Johnston said. "We'll wait until the last ballot is counted."
Silva, 38, will have work ahead of him.
In his campaign, Silva, president of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Stockton, vowed not to take a paycheck until he balanced the city budget and restored a police presence large enough to calm the violence.
He will take the lead of the largest city in the nation to have declared bankruptcy, even before the city has successfully proved that it is eligible for Chapter 9 protection. Stockton in October surpassed the highest number of homicides in its history.
Stockton is also crushed by high unemployment, and the city vies for the top spot nationally in home foreclosures.
Silva had told voters he brought Stockton a much-needed fresh perspective to turn the city around.
Silva offered a hands-on approach, saying he will personally engage gang members in an effort to fight crime. A week before Election Day, Silva proposed a tax hike to help bolster the Police Department as it loses its battle against street violence.
Under Silva's tax plan, he would ask voters in a year from now to approve a half-cent sales tax and a half-cent utility tax to raise $30 million annually for no more than five years. With the money, Silva said he would hire 200 police officers and launch youth jobs programs.
City Manager Bob Deis, among others critics, said at the time that Silva's plan was doomed to fail, because if it won voters' approval, creditors in Stockton's bankruptcy would take that money before it could get to the Police Department.
Silva's background will benefit Stockton, he said. In addition to his role leading the Boys & Girls Clubs, he is the former president of the Stockton Unified School District. He is a single father of a young son.
Silva drew criticism for vacating his Morada home outside of the city limits and taking up residence as a candidate at the University Waterfront Plaza Hotel. Silva said he was answering a call from former Mayor Gary Podesto, who urged people to live downtown.
In Johnston's reign as mayor, Stockton twice topped Forbes magazine's "Most Miserable American Cities" list.
Johnston was dogged by one-time Councilman and bail bondsman Ralph Lee White, who continues to challenge her eligibility to hold office. White has sued Johnston, arguing she termed out after serving two terms on the City Council.
Johnston held two consecutive council terms, which ran from 1995 to 2003. After taking a break from elected office, she ran for mayor in 2004 but lost to Ed Chavez. In 2008, Johnston won her first term as mayor.
White contests in ongoing litigation that the city charter allows a resident to serve no more than two terms. A judge has twice upheld Johnston's interpretation that she can serve two terms as a council member and another two as mayor. It is unclear what will come of White's litigation with Silva's win.
Outside of political office, Johnston, 70, owns and operates The Balloonery, a party and balloon shop on Harding Way. She and her husband, Cliff, have two adult sons, including Eric Johnston, publisher of The Modesto Bee.
Johnston campaigned on her experience, leading Stockton through its darkest hours, as giving her the battle scars to make her best suited to lead for another four years.
She campaigned on having formed the Marshall Plan, which brought a coalition of community leaders together to root out the causes of Stockton's chronic crime. The committee in September launched Project Ceasefire, a plan to reduce gun violence.
Johnston also fought to make state prison officials give Stockton concessions, such as hiring and buying locally, when building a nearly $1 billion California Health Care Facility southeast of town.
Johnston raised more campaign contributions than Silva by a more than 2-to-1 ratio. Johnston brought in nearly $117,000 to Silva's nearly $54,000. Each candidate said the other's contributors were revealed their loyalties.
Johnston's largest contributor was Patrick Willis, owner of the University Waterfront Plaza Hotel, who contributed $37,500. Developer Alex Spanos was her second-largest supporter. Silva criticized Johnston for being beholden to Stockton's elite.
Silva was his own largest contributor, loaning his campaign $17,000. Fire and police unions, who have battled the city over pay cuts, were Silva's next most active financial supporters, drawing criticism from Johnston for being owned by the unions.
Silva missed repeated deadlines, including the final campaign statement, prompting City Hall to send a letter reporting his tardiness. That letter, sent upon the request of a state political commission, could saddle Silva with fines.

The Gift of Live
I would ask them to share with the rest of us how much they truely appreciate being alive and how they must use this gift by sharing those feelings with others. If we could remain on the high these men most have felt we too would value each moment of life even more and be sure to make the most of the few precious moments G-d puts us in this world.

give them space
The first thing I recommend is defintely give thanks to G-D that they were saved. This was totally in the hands of G-D whther they were going to live no matter how much effort everyone tried to help. I hope this inspired both the men and everone else. However, i think the media should give these men their space. I understand everone wants to hear their experiences. The miners have not seen their families in all that time period lets give them time to bond w/their love ones. Peole should realize who gets priorities.

Do acts of kindness;be peacemakers.
They had to have soul searched own there for so long! They should want to help others in need in any way they can. They should be kind and patient to all around them. They should work towards peace in their homes, communities, and the world. If they write books or make movies, hopefully they will be socially redeeming!

in a heart beat
remember that life is a "mine field" and that we're all in this together in every sense of the word. Remember and never forget, that you are beloved, and that the world was created for you. But I don't really think the issue has anything to do with reminding a miner, but rather, reminding us, who stood above, and Who stood above us all. I like your lovely use of the word uplift, and what might seem a pun, perhaps has a depth of meaning that is about the alchemy of words, and that we can all of us do this, so constantly, and so well.

The Mercury (http://www.pottsmerc.com)
Saturday, January 11, 2014
Most people would agree that a sentence of ōhouse arrestö is not the same as spending time in ōThe Big House.ö
Sleeping in your own bed, watching TV on your own couch, maybe even venturing out to the grocery store, is not tantamount to sleeping on a concrete slab, arguing with a 300-pound murderer over the TV clicker and eating whatever slop is plopped on your tray.
Most people would choose house arrest with electronic monitoring any day over prison time. ItÆs much more pleasant and might even allow you to venture forth to your job.
What if youÆre unemployed, though? Would you be entitled to collect unemployment compensation while on house arrest?
Well, as a matter of fact, you might be.
According to a recent PennLive story, Commonwealth Court Judge Patricia A. McCullough has ruled that a Dover man was entitled to collect unemployment while he was serving house arrest for driving an uninspected vehicle and for driving while his license was suspended.
Sweet deal if you can swing it. If youÆre going to get ōpunishedö by sitting in a house watching TV and sleeping in a soft bed, you might as well go for the trifecta and get paid for it, too -- right?
Boil all the legal mumbo-jumbo down, and hereÆs the deal:
Incarceration in prison automatically disqualifies you from collecting unemployment. But a 2005 state Supreme Court ruling held that house arrest is not considered incarceration.
So, the state Department of Labor & Industry erred when it concluded that Charles H. Chamberlain was not entitled to unemployment as a result of his house arrest.
Because he was entitled to work while on house arrest, he would be entitled to unemployment for losing a job through no fault of his own.
According to PennLive, the judge said the ruling does not mean that those on house arrest are automatically entitled to unemployment, but house arrest does not necessarily disqualify them from collecting benefits.
We wonÆt argue the points of law here, but as a simple matter of principle, it doesnÆt seem quite right.
Mr. ChamberlainÆs misdeeds were not exactly the crimes of the century, but they were bad enough to require restriction of his freedom -- and that should at least temporarily disqualify him from unemployment.
And think about more serious crimes that could result in house arrest. What if someone, say, was convicted of using taxpayer-funded resources to pay for political campaign activities and then was sentenced to three years of house arrest?
Oh wait, thatÆs not even a hypothetical scenario. Former state Supreme Court Justice Joan Orie Melvin was sentenced to house arrest in her mini-mansion for such activities (though, bizarrely, the judge in the case recently suspended her sentence while the conviction is under appeal).
But should someone convicted of stealing from taxpayers be entitled to unemployment compensation while on house arrest?
No. And that goes for other serious crimes as well.
Our state lawmakers should look into changing state law to further tighten unemployment eligibility for those convicted of crimes and serving sentences -- even if only in their own living rooms.

Accountability to whom? Keep asking.
It still shocks me a little when a colleague will look at me and ask, "Now, what do you mean by 'downward accountability'?", as if I've just uttered an oxymoron.
It shouldn't surprise me. I've written about how accountability is often looked for in all the wrong places. But it's not as if I'm saying something that should be so foreign or new, right?
Here's a definition from Keystone's 2006(!) report, "Downward accountability to 'beneficiaries': NGO and donor perspectives":
Downward accountability: HOW an organization engages with its 'beneficiaries', builds relationships, and is accountable for results in ways that enable learning and improvement towards the achievement of its mission.
We all know why those we supposedly serve should come first. But when just sharing the concept of downward accountability in a meeting seems baffling to fellow aid professionals, I know that more significant effort, time and resources to understanding accountability beyond funders are long overdue.
Downward accountability is ultimately about defining impact in a way that places beneficiaries' perceptions center-stage. I think funders would easily jump on board to if aid agencies knew how to better operationalize this, which is more possible than ever before in the aid industry's history. GlobalGiving is leading the way.
Maybe funders should start judging organizations not on the "impact" of their projects, but on their ability to create, utilize, and maintain feedback loops with beneficiaries. It's time for such efforts to no longer be "nice-to-have's" but a central measure of success of organizational success. This would mean re-focusing everyone on the demand, rather than the supply side of NGO activities.
Accountability to whom? It may be a tired question, but one we all must continue to ask…until we don't have to anymore.
I, for one, can't wait for that day.

I always considered myself a hacker in its original sense. Someone who modded an existing piece of hardware or software to suit their needs, or to work around an existing issue. My latest and most simplest "hack" is getting Froyo on my phone, since my carrier wouldn't send the update. Where am I on the list? Certainly not Hackivist. I guess I am now a "modder" or "homebrewer". I am afraid that the previous terms will be added to the hacker list, with the word criminal added in front.

I agree with everything you said before (I actually had a hard laugh the first time I heard someone call their computer a CPU), but — and even though I hate it when people call any portable music player an iPod — I see that from a different angle. It's just like people using the term "kleenex" when they mean "tissue." (I got other examples in mind, but they only apply to my country.)

I think you just used "MP3" to mean any digital audio file and compression format. It's easy to fall into those traps. Language is full of similar misconceptions or alterations that have built up through the years. Sometimes the meaning differs depending on what area you are in, like the word "theory" which means different things in science and otherwise, or "hacker" for that matter, which means different things in engineering and otherwise.
Language evolves and once a phrase is out there publicly, used correctly or not, you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.
Exactly. I just tried to help someone understand the origin of the phrase that has devolved into finding proof in a dessert. He maintained that "language evolves and math does not" but saying something that is patently ridiculous as a way of heightening one's credibility just doesn't seem to make sense. "The proof of the pudding is in the eating" makes sense.

Do you code? If not then how do you hack anything? You just load ROMs. So you're a modder. Now you may love the lifestyle, but in my not so humble opinion if you don't write code you really can only "hack" mechanical things because you can't alter the software of anything controlled by code. You can get other people to write it for you and run it. But does that really meet the definition? If so then I'm a mechanic. If that's the bar then half the world can be listed as hackers for jail breaking their phone. No sir you are a scenester. Which is okay I guess If you just want to look like you're a bad ass.

Sorry sorry I had that all wrong. I can only debug your mother's chip using JTAG. The code I write requires ANSI C.
Hacker in its original sense is "one who hacks," esp. with a knife or axe. The definition you are talking about is little-used. The definition Bruce is talking about is by far the most common definition used in the infosec world. Since he is an infosec expert writing for an infosec blog it's fairly obvious which of the multiple definitions he intended. It's so obvious, in fact, that anyone who complains about the terminology here is just being intentionally thick. Kinda funny, really.
Anyone upset that the English language overloads terminology needs to find himself a new language. Whining about this is as silly as whining about water being wet.

If you include in Wikileaks the people who are stealing the secrets and giving them to the organization, then Wikileaks are hackers. They're quite a bit less technical about their acquisition of data, but they are the most famous representative of the hacktivists subset of (cr|h)ackers that includes those who are more technical. If you prefer, you can always think Sneakers.

from good to bad...
white hat, gray hat, black hat, and asshat
I don't remember where I originally heard this, known it for years, so sorry to the source.
From the article:
Malicious hacker No. 5: Hacktivists
Lots of hackers are motivated by political, religious, environmental, or other personal beliefs. They are usually content with embarrassing their opponents or defacing their websites, although they can slip into corporate-espionage mode if it means they can weaken the opponent. Think WikiLeaks.
I'll grant that Wikileaks are activists. I'll also grant that they have some great hackers working for them. But what the article describes as "hacktivism" is not what wikileaks does. Wikileaks employs hackers defensively, to provide a secure system that guarantees anonymity for the sources who leak information to them.
Although there have been allegations made in the press by people who probably don't know anything about information security, I have seen no evidence that suggests that Wikileaks obtains information by cracking into systems. On the contrary, Wikileaks have always claimed to work by receiving information from sources who were privileged with access to the information, and who elected to leak it to Wikileaks out of duty to their conscience.
There has been, to date, no evidence brought forward which suggests that Wikileaks has ever broken into a system to extract information out of it. That isn't the way they do things.
There are "hacktivists" who do things like deface websites in order to publicize a cause, or DDoS attack some target that they disagree with. But that is not what Wikileaks does, either. Misguided sympathizers from "Anonymous" may have done some of these things in an attempt to aid Wikileaks, but that is still not something that Wikileaks does or endorses.

Um, if you think that a buffer overflow is supposed to defend you, then you're even more wrong.
...is a list of skill bonuses for each class, and we can start rolling up characters!
There are only two types.
Those that you know about.
Those that you don't know about yet.
Thankfully, idiots make up 98%+ of the ones out there, but there are some that you never see, never know about, and are usually doing it as part of their normal job for whatever agency or government that is hiring them.
Of course, they aren't interested in us normal folk, so it's really us vs the idiots. And some days I wonder how they can be doing so well. Then I see my neighbor and it makes quite a lot of sense...
In the 80's (before the internet) and before jargon was mixed up by casual computer users...
- A "hacker" meant someone who was proficent enough with computers (few people were at that time) that they typed really fast at their keyboard, usually writing code or scripts. Today a "hack" still means quickly written, not carefully thought out code.
- A "cracker" was someone who broke copy protection. Today that would include breaking network security.
I may be considered pedantic, but it would be good to retain

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Seahawks coach Pete Carroll visited the Capitol and met with lawmakers, asking them for state funding to help expand a youth outreach program he heads.
He visited both the House and Senate chambers on Wednesday, and also briefly met with Gov. Jay Inslee.
Carroll started "A Better Seattle," in September 2011 in partnership with the YMCA of Greater Seattle and the Seattle Youth Violence Prevention Initiative. The program hires street outreach workers in Seattle and south King County in an effort to reduce gang and youth violence. It's modeled on a program Carroll started in Los Angeles while coaching at the University of Southern California.
Carroll said he'd like to expand the program across the state. While at the Capitol, the Senate passed a resolution honoring the Seahawks. When later asked how much he was seeking, Carroll wouldn't say, other than "we'll take as much as we can get."
