...doesn't mean it's legal, right?
Yeah - thats what I was thinking.
They're trying to patent the idea of disabling something remotely? Who here has ever used Blackberry Enterprise Server?
No, they're trying to patent methods for determining when to disable something remotely. Jailbreaking was just one of the clues they would look at, along with other things that might indicate that the phone has been stolen... something the anonymous submitter either didn't understand, or chose to misrepresent.
Which has been done with cars for how long? Still not novel.
Taking your pic might be novel. Detecting an operating system breach might be novel. Imagine your ISP coming into your machine, determining you have a virus, and wiping you.
Perhaps only Apple could think this one up. It's comforting to know that they're trying to save me from myself. Not.
Taking your pic might be novel.
Nope. There is a prior art, remember that Pennsylvania school principal taking pictures of students at home? http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/02/23/2030207/Federal-Judge-Orders-Schools-To-Stop-Laptop-Spying [slashdot.org]
B.S. No operator better determine that my phone has been stolen without me reporting it so. Unless apple retains ownership of the device, I suggest they stick their patent where the sun doesn't shine.
They don't care about scaring people at the moment. Jailbreaking helps drive adoption. Apple uses the same trick as Microsoft did in the past, they modulate how easy/convenient it is to pirate/jailbreak their shit to maximize earnings. Once they decide it's no longer to their benefit they will really start doing their best and they won't need scare tactics
Look at how long it takes for the PS3 to get cracked (still no mod chip available) with the glitching hardware flaw known
Any hardware protection can be cracked, that doesn't mean it's always going to stay easy enough for it to happen. So whoever supports them because they can still have freedom on the device through jailbreaking, you should really reconsider
There is indeed a ton of prior art. There are quite a few Symbian applications that enable the 'owner' to do pretty much what the apple patent describes. Also my N900 has a fairly sophisticated script that sets up a reverse tunnel over 3G automatically if the SIM card is changed - once logged in I can do sudo rm -rf
...doesn't mean it's legal, right?
On the contrary, because it's patented, it is now illegal for anybody else to do this, which is a good thing
So, from now on, as long as you avoid the iPhone like the plague it is, you should be safe against the threat of your phone manufacturer spying on you...
What's more worrying is if they actually have implemented it or are going to.
This means that it's possible that persons with malicious intent can also intentionally disable the devices if such functionality exists.
And another issue - vendors can now remotely kill devices that they consider to be too old to force users to buy a new one.
Jesus there are a lot of people out there that think they are freaking experts on this stuff.
let's start with your first sentence
No, it means that it's illegal for anybody else to do it without paying apple royalties.
1. It's not illegal, it would be a civil issue. 2. If Apple is granted the patent they may license it or may not, and they may or may not charge royalties. Since you are an expert in this area you surly realize that the majority of these filings are defensive, right? That the primary purpose of most of these is so that when a patent troll comes after the deep pocket company like Apple that Apple can say we have patents in this area as well?
Since this isn't a feature that sane or rational consumers would actually want on their phones
Really? Since I'm certain that you read the application as I did, then you will see that this is a feature that a lot of people would like to have, including myself. I want them to be able to figure out who douche bag is who stole my phone, where they are and brick the device
Maybe it's because I haven't had my morning coffee yet, but there is something irritating about sitting down to read
Now, RTFA and get off of my lawn.
Thats for lawyers to spend 4 or 5 years deciding. By then it wont matter because even
if Apple loses they'll get fined a few thousand in money off vouchers. Easily worth it
to stop jailbreaking for a few years.
The headline is massively misleading, they've patented remotely disabling devices that the device has detected has been stolen, not jailbroken phones.
Stupid slashdot is stupid^H^H^H^H^H filled with anti-apple trolls.
More "clickbait" than "flamebait" methinks - Slashdot has gone tabloid years ago to attract more clicks which means more ad impressions.
1) Unauthorised by whom?
2) Didn't a school district try this recently and get some bad press for it?
Library of Congress just ruled on the DMCA that there is no "unauthorized" use of a damn smart phone...
Dont you love it when companies try to re-write laws and claim they are in the green?
In some embodiments, an unauthorized user can be detected by noting particular activities that can indicate suspicious behavior. For example, activities such as entering an incorrect password a predetermined number of times in a row, hacking of the electronic device, jailbreaking of the electronic device, unlocking of the electronic device, removing a SIM card from the electronic device, or moving a predetermined distance away from a synced device can be used to detect an unauthorized user.
Emphasis mine.
That doesn't answer the parent's question. It's being used as an input to consider whether it's unauthorized, not that that action itself makes it unauthorized.
If I have a 6 month old phone that I always guess the passcode correctly, and all of a sudden can't remember it, jailbreak it, swap the sim card, and it ends up in Montana, there's some strong circumstantial evidence someone just stole it.
Or you sold it.
So just to clarify. If I swap the sim card in my jailbroken phone while I'm on holiday, the good folks at Apple (or my carrier) will start taking photos, sound recordings and GPS records of me.
Are they going to ask my permission first? If so, why not just wait until the user phones up and reports their phone stolen, rather than try to Sherlock Holmes their inputs to determine whether it has been stolen?
I don't really want my carrier randomly taking pictures and sound recordings of me so that some analyst somewhere can have a gaze and see if I look like a robber. What if it takes pictures of it's child owner naked, or records a conversation which discusses bank details, or an employee discussing trade secrets or what not?
Sounds very iffy to me.
A school district tried this and barely avoided having officials brought before a grand jury and indicted.
Perhaps we will get to see Mr. Jobs wearing iStripes in the iPrison? Or iPrisonUniform in the iAlcatrez.
a security measure for stolen iPhones.
Yeah, I know it's a little crazy to suggest looking at what it being patented instead of reading the article summary, but the focus of this application are the techniques they might use to determine whether the person using the phone is the owner (or someone else on the owner's "approved user" list), or someone else. The technology to just brick a jailbroken phone is pretty trivial... and not the subject of this patent application.
Yeah, I know it's a little crazy to suggest looking at what it being patented instead of reading the article summary...
Nah, this
Here's the important text of the patent:
[0001]This relates to systems and methods for identifying unauthorized users of an electronic device. In particular, this relates to systems and methods for detecting an unauthorized user, gathering information related to the electronic device, the unauthorized user, or both, and transmitting an alert notification to a responsible party for the electronic device.
[0002]People often possess and carry around a variety of electronic devices, such as, for example, cellular phones, PDA's, personal e-mail or messaging devices (e.g., a Blackberry.TM.), and handheld media players (e.g., an iPod.TM.). Many of these electronic devices are used frequently by their owners, and the electronic devices may contain personal or sensitive information stored within them. For example, the electronic devices may contain information such as credit card numbers, passwords, social security numbers, bank information, contact lists, or calendar information. Accordingly, if the electronic device is lost or stolen, the loss of the electronic device can be exceedingly disruptive to the owner's peace of mind and security. Thus, the owner may desire to find out where the lost electronic device is located or who may have gained possession of or stolen the electronic device.
[0003]Systems and methods for identifying unauthorized users of an electronic device are provided. In particular, systems and methods for detecting an unauthorized user, gathering information related to the electronic device, the unauthorized user, or both, and transmitting an alert notification to a responsible party for the electronic device are provided.
[0004]In some embodiments, an unauthorized user can be detected by comparing the identity of the current user to the identities of authorized users of the electronic device. For example, a photograph of the current user can be taken, a recording of the current user's voice can be recorded, the heartbeat of the current user can be recorded, or any combination of the above. The photograph, recording, or heartbeat can be compared, respectively, to a photograph, recording, or heartbeat of authorized users of the electronic device to determine whether they match. If they do not match, the current user can be detected as an unauthorized user.
[0005]In some embodiments, an unauthorized user can be detected by noting particular activities that can indicate suspicious behavior. For example, activities such as entering an incorrect password a predetermined number of times in a row, hacking of the electronic device, jailbreaking of the electronic device, unlocking of the electronic device, removing a SIM card from the electronic device, or moving a predetermined distance away from a synced device can be used to detect an unauthorized user.
[0006]In some embodiments, when an unauthorized user is detected, information related to the current user of the electronic device (e.g., the unauthorized user), the current user's operation of the electronic device, the electronic device's location, or any combination of the above can be gathered. For example, information such as the current's user's photograph, a voice recording of the current user, screenshots of the electronic device, keylogs of electronic device, communication packets (e.g., Internet packets) served to the electronic device, location coordinates of the electronic device, or geotagged photos of the surrounding area can be gathered.
[0007]Instead or in addition, when an unauthorized user is detected, various functions of the electronic device can be restricted. For example, access to particular applications can be restricted, access to sensitive information can be restricted, sensitive information can be erased from the electronic device, or any combination of the above.
[0008]In some embodiments, an alert notification can be sent to a responsible party when an unauthorized user is detected. The "responsible party" can be any persons suitable to receive the alert notification, such as, for example, the owner of the electronic device, proper authorities or police, persons listed in a contact book in the electronic device, or any combination of the above. In some embodiments, the alert notification can be a general warning that an unauthorized user has been detected (e.g., "Warning, your electronic device may have been stolen"). In some embodiments, the alert notification can contain any of the information gathered in response to an unauthorized user being detected (e.g., photographs, voice recordings, screenshots, geotagged photographs, or any other gathered information).
[0009]The alert notification can be transmitted to the responsible party through any suitable medium. For example, the alert notification can be sent as a voicemail, phone call, text message, e-mail, or facsimile. As another example, the alert notification can be sent through any suitable VoIP application (e.g., Skype.TM. or Windows.TM. Live Messenger), instant messaging application (e.g., AOL Instant Messenger.TM. or MSN Messenger.TM.), on-line profile application (e.g., Facebook.TM. or Friendster.TM.), blog application (e.g., Twitter or Xanga.TM.), or "cloud" server (e.g., sent to a Mobile Me account associated with the owner of the electronic device).
I tried that, but due to this new technology I can't successfully steal them anymore.

... to hate on Apple and never purchase any of their products on principle.
Absolutely correct.
I guess it's in there because if I stole an iPhone and wanted to get to the data jailbreaking it and gaining root access would probably be the first step. That's the way it works, right ? Get physical access + privilege escalation = getting the data.
So if you reported a phone stolen using this process you could A: see if they are trying to access the data on it by jailbreaking, B: snap a picture of the perpetrator, and get his location. Or, you know, Apple could be trying to lead us into a dystopian future
Wouldn't that kind of action be in violation of the recent ruling that made such actions as jailbreaking legal on personally owned devices? I understand its a warranty violation, but that shouldn't mean that it should allow apple to restrict usage, etc.
Unfortunately the law also allows for a private contract between a company and an individual. Although there is no criminal implications to jailbreaking your phone, there may be implications from the TOS contract that you entered into when activating the phone through AT&T/Apple. Personally, I believe that a law should be passed that states you have the right to do whatever you see fit with something that you have purchased. Though I wholly support AT&T's right to restrict your access to their netwo
RTFA. Apple is not saying the intend to brick phones just for being jailbroken. They are talking about technology for determining when a phone has been stolen (or similar unauthorized use). I can understand people saying they don't want Apple doing this for them, but the idea itself isn't Evil. As someone whose phone was stolen.... gosh, I can see a certain appeal to it.
Wouldn't that kind of action be in violation of the recent ruling that made such actions as jailbreaking legal on personally owned devices? I understand its a warranty violation, but that shouldn't mean that it should allow apple to restrict usage, etc.
It may be legal for you to do something, but that doesn't automatically make it illegal for a company to try to stop you or slow you down if you want to use their services. Until the courts explicitly tell them to stop or tell them what they're doing is illegal, they can continue on. Since the iPhone is tied to services (cellphone, iTunes, etc) they probably have some wiggle room
To use the often-hated car analogy... It's perfectly legal for me to upgrade my car: throw a turbo-charger, or a super-charger i

It is completely legal for you to use your credit card today in Moscow, tomorrow in Sidney, and they day after in Tokio, each time buying a 50 inch TV. Completely legal. But the credit card company will lock down your card, because it is much more likely that there is fraud going on and it isn't actually you buying the TVs.
Jailbreaking is already legal. What use would it be to take a photo of a jailbroken user?
If someone broke out of jail and got their hands on an iphone, I imagine having a picture and location information would be very useful to the police. But that's probably not what you meant.
This whole post is straight FUD.
Most glaring is claim 13 which refers to comparing heartbeats of the current using a heartbeat sensor and comparing it with a library of AUTHORIZED USERS
Does this mean there's finally a method for preventing my cat from randomly dialing people in my contact list? It's about time!
Jailbreaking is a means of circumventing DRM. Ask the console modders how "legal" that is.
What they could do is detect that the phone has been hacked, then "brick" it on the assumption that is stolen or being used to pirate material.
Jailbreaking is already legal. What use would it be to take a photo of a jailbroken user?
Voiding the warranty. Today, I can easily jailbreak and restore my phone as many times as I like without Apple noticing. In the new model, as soon as they suspect jailbreaking, they can take a picture and the next time I go to them to bug them about shitty reception, they'd tell me that my warranty is void (with proof) and they can't do anything to help me.
My guess is that in many countries it is completely illegal to make an unauthorized photo of someone (possibly under "delicate circumstances") even if this person has stolen something. Just because someone is a thief doesn't mean that he looses all of his rights -- in Europe at least, I don't know about the US.
Reading this it becomes instantly apparent that "unauthorized use" is referring to users of stolen devices.
Yeah and it ties in nicely with the stories that turn up from time to time of people getting their stolen laptop back because they snapped a picture of the thief and did an ip lookup, or people getting iPhones back using the already existing GPS lookup called, appropriately enough "Find My iPhone" [apple.com]. Here's just one example [gizmodo.com] ("Stolen MacBook Victim Uses Screen Sharing and iSight to Bust Thieves") and there's already a product which does this for macs called Undercover [orbicule.com].
Guess Apple likes the idea and wants it on
If you work on Wall street.
Ummm, isn't this probably intended for stolen phones?
Ummm, isn't this probably intended for stolen phones?
According to the patent filing, yeah. Or any stolen electronic device, such as an iPod.
Speaking as someone who had an iPod Touch stolen this year, I'm not that concerned about it being wiped if it's stolen -- I'd rather it send pictures of the thief to the police or at least waterboard the fucker. Is that so much to ask, Apple?
Just about any radio system with some sort of ident signalling (5-tone, MDC, MPT1327, whatever) allows you to stun radios remotely, locking out all functions until they are either unstunned with the appropriate code or reprogrammed by the dealer. On many radios you can "kill" them by telling them to wipe their programming, requiring all the frequencies and idents to be programmed back in.
Well, at least Google never does anything evil. Oh, wait..
Citation needed.
Wait! This is good news: by patenting, Apple prevents HTC, Nokia, Moto and all the others from bricking your phone when you unlock it. All the more reason for buying an open phone.
NO they don't. all those companies could come up to there own way of doing it, or licenses it from Apple.
The patent would allow the carrier or any other 'authorized' party to disable or restrict the functionality of the device.
The patent would not allow disabling. Apple already have the ability to block any device that they like to brick (which I belive is illegal, although IANAL). The patent would prevent other producers to sell similarly trapped devices without paying some "fee" to Apple. Having a patent to a method does not mean you are legally entiteled to use that method.
Macbooks suck when comparing their anti-theft features compared to Windows notebooks. Apple already has Find My iPhone for MobileMe subscribers but it's not very good. In this case if a phone is reported stolen it can take a picture of whoever finds it for easier identification by police
but imagine you're reading 1984 in iBooks and your phone suddenly starts saying "You are the dead" when Winston and his girlfriend are about to be arrested in the hotel. that would be a cool easter egg in the latest version
Business PC laptops have a good amount of security features to deal with theft:
1: BitLocker + TPM. This keeps the thief out of the onboard data while the laptop owner doesn't have to remember anything more than his AD account password.
2: LoJack for Laptops. On Dells and HPs, once activated, this stays present forever, especially newer models where it persists even if the motherboard is reflashed. With this installed, it isn't hard for a business to remotely zero out the Documents directory, then kill t
This has nothing to do with Jailbroken phones. Where did the "anonymous reader" come up with that crap? From the first sentence in the abstract "This is generally directed to identifying unauthorized users of an electronic device." And nowhere in TFA does it say anything about Jailbroken phones. This is simply a twist on lojack.
make it illegal for Apple & Microsoft and any other company to shutdown or "brick" a cellphone or game console any other product...
It already IS illegal to shutdown a product that you don't own. That is, unless the person has GIVEN you the right to shutdown the device. If you don't want someone else to have the ability to legally shut down your device then DON'T GIVE THEM THE RIGHT!
If they won't sell you the device without giving away that right then simply don't buy the device.
It's actually pretty straightforward.
"Apple yesterday applied for patent to allow remotely disabling electronic devices when 'unauthorized usage' is detected. The patent application covers using the camera to take pictures of the unauthorized user and using GPS to determine location, and it involves ascertaining whether the phone has been hacked or jailbroken, using that as criteria for detecting 'suspicious behavior.' The patent would allow the carrier or any other 'authorized' party to disable or restrict the functionality of the device. Is this Apple's latest tool to thwart jailbreaking?"
This is why we should be able to rate stories -1 Troll.
Nothing in the linked article references jailbreaking. This looks way more like remote disabling for stolen phones - the same way that OnStar customers can call to say that their car has been stolen.
The specific means of identifying whether or not the current user is the one who is supposed to be operating the device is discussed, and in that context:
The method of [identifying a particular activity indicating a suspicious behavior], wherein the particular activity comprises one or more of hacking the electronic device, jailbreaking the electronic device, unlocking the electronic device, removing a SIM card from the electronic device, and moving at least a predetermined distance away from a synced device.
So in other words, if someone steals your iPhone, they won't be able to thwart anti-theft devices by jailbreaking your phone or yanking the SIM.
Wasn't it ruled that jailbreaking is legal?
So disabling a jailbroken phone would be 'destruction of property' or something like that.
The patent would allow the carrier or any other 'authorized' party to disable or restrict the functionality of the device.
That makes it sound like the patent would be some sort of legal precedent establishing law. That makes no sense. Patents don't "allow" actions, they restrict them.
This technology sounds quite useful if you assume "unauthorised use" to mean "use of the phone by someone who has stolen it"...
After all, at least in the US jailbreaking is explicitly legal, so spying on a jailbreaker could in itself be an illegal act.

BOSTON – A mere 12 hours or so after he helped the Bruins down Montreal in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series, Michael Ryder ambled through the home team's dressing room at TD Garden today.
Coffee in hand, Ryder waltzed through with his hair up in a full Keith Richards poof (not intentionally, I'd imagine), his weeks-old blonde playoff beard glistening in the fluorescent lights and his eyes seemingly barely able to open even a slight crack.
It takes a lot out of a guy to save the fortunes of not just his team, but of an entire organization and a whole region of fans night after night in the Stanley Cup playoffs. A two-goal game capped by an overtime game-winner one night, a position-defying glove save between the pipes the next night.
What's next in store for Ryder? Perhaps he'll score a hat trick and break up a potential game-tying 4-on-1. Or hockey just might become too easy for him, so he'll give Carl Crawford a tip to get his batting average up to .200 for the Red Sox, balance the U.S. budget and once and for all figure out whether the chicken or the egg came first.
The Easter Bunny wasn't the only mythical creature on hand and in the flesh for Saturday night's Game 5. We also witnessed the re-appearance of playoffs super hero "Ryder Man."
For now, though, during the two days between Game 5 and 6 of this series, Ryder and the Bruins can bask in the glory of his amazing play. Those teammates that were made available to speak today had been marveling at "The Save" since last night through this morning.
"He showed off a little bit, I think," said defenseman Dennis Seidenberg, who as the team leader in that department is no stranger to the shot-block game. "But he could do whatever he wanted. He saved a goal, so that's good."
Seidenberg has to know it was better than "good." After all, had Ryder not made the save, Seidenberg would've worn the goat horns for committing the giveaway at Montreal's blue line that sent the Canadiens on their way on an odd-man rush.
Adam McQuaid was also understated but impressed by Ryder when he said: "I've seen it a few times. I didn't realize it was a glove save, I thought it was a kick save. So that's a pretty good job by him."
Defenseman Johnny Boychuk was impressed by Ryder's technique.
"He even dropped his stick like a goalie," he said, "and made the glove-hand save. It was pretty neat to see."
In a game that featured just three goals scored and wasn't decided until the teams had played 29:03 of extra hockey, "The Save" by Ryder was huge. It just goes to show that when you coast through 82 games of the regular season, forcing even the coach who's usually your most ardent defender to scratch you, you can perform magnificent feats in the postseason by unleashing all that pent up energy.
Those of us that ridiculed Ryder's ghost-like play when just standings points were on the line have been silenced. It's the playoffs now, and it's Ryder's time. There's no telling what "Ryder Man" will next accomplish.

A cup of coffee can be just the needed jolt of caffeine, or it could be the beginning of a healing process.
THOMASVILLE | A cup of coffee can be just the needed jolt of caffeine, or it could be the beginning of a healing process.
Mindi Swaney, owner of Monkeez Brew, found the coffee caf� a part of her salvation three years ago after struggling with anorexia.
"This (shop) is what saved my life. I have a psychology degree and look what I'm doing now. It's God. You have to watch out for him," Swaney laughed.
Swaney's blue eyes sparkled as she sat down at a table in her shop, cradled a cup of coffee and tucked one of her legs up in the chair, happy to share her story and her passion for her business. The spunky barista, named for a twist on the old TV show "Mork and Mindy," acknowledged that ownership of Monkeez Brew wasn't originally in the plans, but it has been a godsend.
When she was 14, Swaney went to her first treatment facility for anorexia. Through the years she has travelled around the United States seeking help, and she has been to treatment places in Arizona and Pennsylvania to name a couple. She said being away from home so much while she was young is part of the reason she wants to stay home now.
But there is always light at the end of the tunnel despite the length of the journey. Swaney has been out of treatment since 2006.
As much of her recovery as she attributed to the ownership of Monkeez Brew, she attributed the other part to God.
"God has blessed us. He is the only reason we are still here. It's God. That is my creed," Swaney said.
Swaney grew up in Thomasville and attended Ledford High School. After graduating, she was accepted to High Point University where she pursued a psychology degree.
When three couples from Swaney's family opened Monkeez Brew six years ago, they asked her to come help run the place as she was the only one with experience. Swaney had worked at Books-A-Million caf� and DeBeen Espresso in High Point in the past. So Swaney quit her job at Britthaven and came to work amongst her family.
"This is where I want to be. As much as I try to act like a city girl, Thomasville is my home," Swaney said.
Three years ago, Swaney became the owner along with her father, after members in her family decided they wanted out. Every morning, she rises before dawn to begin her day. She opens at 7 and tells people she is leaving by 4 p.m., but that doesn't happen. Swaney is often still helping customers after the clock strikes 4, and when she closes on the weekends, she doesn't always close at the posted time either.
"If I see a packed house and smiling faces, I'm not about to close up," Swaney said. "That's what this is all about. I love being around people."
Much of the day is consumed by her business, but she does try to wind down in the evening in her loft apartment just steps from the coffee caf�. If she is lucky and time allows, she will fit in a tanning session.
"I say I need to switch to decaf at night, but that's an oxymoron, so I don't," Swaney said.
Even though Swaney's life mostly revolves around a small block in downtown Thomasville, she couldn't be happier.
"Oddly enough, I am quite content. This is my passion," Swaney said. "I'm going to be that 80-year-old barista, on oxygen, making drinks for customers."
Even though Swaney can't tell her story without speaking of her anorexia, she doesn't want attention focused there; she wants people to understand that Monkeez Brew is a safe haven — exactly what it has been for her.
"Anything goes in here. I want this to be a safe place — a place where you can come and be loved and accepted. Sometimes all someone wants is for someone else to say, 'I understand what you are going through,'" Swaney said. "You never know who you can help. After all, look at what can come out of a cup of coffee today."

"Guiding the Way" – Zone Maps Improved
The Stafford County "Zone Maps" idea made its launch a few years ago. So, how was it received? I think it's fair to say that most folks wondered, "What in the world is the guy that came up with that idea smoking?"
And, it's also fair to say, "The Zone Maps weren't embraced by many."
The truth was the fellow wasn't smoking anything and he's also a bit on the stubborn side when it comes to sticking with a good idea. But, even an old stubborn goat has to ask himself, "If this idea is so good, why isn't it being embraced?"
So, after way too long a spell of stubbornness came the realization that, "The concept was good, but the maps weren't.
Let me explain.
The first problem was the dazzling rainbow of colors. The maps sure were pretty, but pretty doesn't get you from Point A to Point B. It was a visual nightmare.
Solution? A checkerboard. The maps were turned into a simple checkerboard – gray & white.
The next problem was the four zones over on the east side of the county – they were too big. The thing Assistant Chief Meschberger pointed out was a paved road sits right smack dab in the middle of these big zones. That road intersects the City of Stafford north to south and extends to county line.
Solution? Add four new zones. The City of Stafford – SE 80th Avenue – serving as the break point.
Last, but not least. If anybody has followed the directions of a GPS unit, they realize that sometimes the little dickens gives you a map that's the shortest trip, but not down the best of roads. We needed our map to show the best roads – the paved roads.
Solution? Highlight the paved roads in red.
I would be amiss if I didn't mention the loads of time that Marilyn Grizzell and Nick Lauffer devoted in getting these new maps put together. Thank them if you get the chance.
After October 11th this stubborn old goat won't be here to insist the use of the zone system. But, I sure hope everyone gives it one last more try. I really, really think you will like it.
Because the last thing you need on an emergency is trouble getting there.

During the Super Bowl, Ravens coach John Harbaugh told his assistant coaches that they needed to make sure their defensive calls didn't leave linebacker Ray Lewis covering 49ers tight end Vernon Davis or receiver Michael Crabtree over the middle.
The 49ers had a lot of success sending Davis and Crabtree over the middle, where Lewis simply didn't have the speed to keep up with them in coverage. As shown on NFL Turning Point on NBC Sports Network, that led to Harbaugh getting on his headset and telling the Ravens' defensive coaching staff that they needed to call coverages that didn't require Lewis to go one-on-one with either of them.
"We can't let Ray be matched up on 85 or 15 all day when we're playing quarters," Harbaugh told his coaches.
Davis, who caught six passes for 104 yards, was having a lot of fun rubbing it in Lewis's face. At one point he walked up to Lewis and yelled, "It's gonna be a long day for you!"
On the sideline, Davis told a 49ers coach that if they could keep getting him isolated on Lewis over the middle, there was no way Lewis was going to stop him.
"He can't match up," Davis said. "I don't care what route I got."
Davis was right about that: Lewis couldn't match up with him. Fortunately for the Ravens, the rest of the team played well enough to overcome a major liability at middle linebacker.

Within the group, average income fell to $957,000 in 2009 from $1.4 million in 2007....What? Occupy Wall Street is not fact-based?!
[T]he drop alters a figure often emphasized by inequality critics, and it has gone largely unnoticed outside the blogosphere.
By focusing on the top 1 percent, the Occupy Wall Street movement has made economic fairness a subject of street protest and political debate.
"It's very interesting that this has become such a big topic now when the numbers are back to where they were in the 1990s," said Steven Kaplan, an economist at the University of Chicago's business school. "People didn't seem to be complaining about it then."
Yes, yes, I know you're going to drag Obama into this. But what Obama said about OWS was that it reflects "broad-based frustration." He wasn't verifying their facts. Just feeling their pain.

ATLANTA (AP) — Jeff Teague had 19 points and 13 assists, Paul Millsap scored 18 points with 11 rebounds and the Atlanta Hawks beat the Orlando Magic 104-94 on Saturday night.
Arron Afflalo finished with 21 points for Orlando, which has dropped 15 straight on the road dating to last March 4.
Mike Scott had 17 points in a reserve role and Al Horford scored 15 and Kyle Korver added 14 for Atlanta.
Korver made a 3 in his 79th consecutive game to surpass Dennis Scott and tie Michael Adams for second place on the NBA career list. After Korver hit a 3 on a fast break late in the fourth, Teague's fastbreak layup made it 97-88 with 1:41 remaining.
The Hawks have won nine straight over the Magic at Philips Arena.

A.J. Pierzynski hit a solo home run in the ninth inning to lead the Texas Rangers in a 7-6 win over the LA Angels of Anaheim to open a three-game set on Monday.
Pierzynski drove in two runs while Elvis Andrus went 3-for-5 with a run scored for the Rangers, who have won four straight. Mitch Moreland added three hits and an RBI and David Murphy scored twice in the win.
"I was just trying to get the bat on the barrel. I didn't think I got enough of it but fortunately it did just get over the wall," Pierzynski said of his homer.
Derek Holland was tagged for six runs on six hits with four walks and seven strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings. Tanner Scheppers (2-0) gave up just one hit over two innings to get the win and Joe Nathan pitched a scoreless ninth to pick up his sixth save of the season.
Howie Kendrick drove in two runs and scored twice while Josh Hamilton had a 4- for-4 game with two runs scored for the Angels, who were coming off a three- game sweep of the Detroit Tigers.
Joe Blanton gave up four runs on 12 hits in six-plus innings while Ernesto Frieri (0-1) took the loss due to Pierzynski's home run.
"I made my pitch," Frieri said of Pierzynski's homer. "It was a little bit up, outside, but yeah, I wanted to go outside, maybe a little bit low. But like I said, he made a good swing on the ball and it went out."
Trailing by three runs in the seventh, the Rangers tied the game. The first three batters reached base to load the bases and Pierzynski singled in one with a hit to left. Nelson Cruz then hit a grounder to short that saw a force out at second, but he beat the relay throw to first and another run scored. Scott Downs then took over on the mound and Jeff Baker hit a high chopper that Downs was unable to field and Adrian Beltre crossed the plate to tie the game.
Scheppers worked around a two-out single in the seventh then retired the Angels in order in the eighth.
With two outs in the ninth and Frieri on the mound, Pierzynski clubbed the first pitch he saw over the right field wall for his fourth home run of the season and a 7-6 lead.
Nathan came on to close the game and gave up a leadoff single to Peter Bourjos, but then set the next three batters down, striking out Mark Trumbo to pick up his sixth save of the year.
The Rangers struck in the top of the first as back-to-back singles by Ian Kinsler and Andrus was followed by grounder from Lance Berkman that saw Andrus forced out at second, but the throw to first wasn't handled by Blanton and Kinsler scored for a 1-0 lead.
In the second, three consecutive one-out singles scored a run as Leonys Martin drove in Murphy for a 2-0 advantage.
The Angels, though, went on top in the fourth inning. Trumbo walked to lead off and Hamilton followed with a single. Kendrick's double to center plated both runners and he moved to third on a wild pitch. Chris Iannetta's sac fly gave the team a 3-2 lead.
Texas tied the game in the sixth as Murphy hit a one-out double and Moreland followed with an RBI two-bagger, but the Angels answered with three in the home portion.
With one out, Hamilton and Kendrick singled and Iannetta later doubled home Hamilton. After Jason Frasor took the mound, Luis Jimenez smacked a single to center for a 6-3 lead.
Game Notes
Before the game, the Angels placed pitcher Tommy Hanson on the bereavement list and recalled pitcher David Carpenter from Salt Lake. Hanson will miss his scheduled start in the series finale on Wednesday ... Texas took two of three from Anaheim at home at the beginning of April ... Alexi Ogando pitches for Texas on Tuesday while Jason Vargas takes the mound for the Angels.

The oldest machine I own that's actually in business use is my Sinclair QL from 1984, upon which my accounts are based (along with some of my writings, posted to the internet where appropriate via a serial link to my PC). Apart from that, I've got programs I wrote on my Amiga 600 (1992) which are still used as part of my degree (it's fractal aggregation code written in AMOS), and I still hack about on my Spectrum (1982, hence the name ZX82) and Dragon 32 (also 1982). I've also got some Sun Ultras (~1996)

anybody still running old DOS programs in a DOS box on a Windows machine
Anyone else still run old DOS programs on actual DOS machines? They do the job, and we're a bunch of weirdos where I work! They make up all of our workstations, except a very small handful of Debian boxes. Most of the machines have now been upgraded to Pentuim 75s with 16M of RAM. Most were [34]86s until maybe six months ago.
And We use a Wang to run our voicemail system - it runs some DOS voicemail system and has been plugging along longer and more reliably than most other machines I've ever worked with.
Why the assumption that a company is too poor/cheap to upgrade or doesn't want to bother with free alternatives? Believe it or not, there is still some software for which free alternatives do not exist. And probably will never exist, because it is so specialized.
At one bio lab where I worked, I had to support a bunch of DOS machines connected to lab equipment, because the controller programs only worked in DOS, due to the age of the equipment. Replacing the device would cost more than your average waterfront condo, so it's not exactly as if the company was being "cheap". Besides, the old device worked fine - if it ain't broke... etc.
Another place I worked at used a proprietary database for storing patient records. The server was a 386SX/25 and was accessed from dumb terminals connected to a multiport serial board. Replacing/upgrading this woudl require spending a huge amount of money to obtain a new system, or a huge number of man-hours developing a new open-source system and getting it certified. (Such systems need to be certified what with privacy laws and the like.)
So, there are plenty of reasons why a company might keep old hardware arround - almost anything which has custom boards or software written for it is likely to be running on older hardware, simply because there's no reason to upgrade.

If I had the name of an actual person or organization I can speak with, I have an idea that might help increase betting handle in New York unless, of course, no one is interested in spending money to make more money.
I know that's a radical concept these days but I wish someone would try it.
I was at Belmont Park Saturday for the Suburban Handicap, a race I described in an advance story as a Grade 1 masquerading as a Grade 2. The Suburban did not disappoint as Mucho Macho Man came up with one of the top performances of 2012.
Anyway, a veteran New York turf writer told me that for the first time in his career covering the New York Racing Association, he didn't know who to call in the event of an emergency or with a big-picture question.
Since the firing of former President and CEO Charlie Hayward, there's no longer an absolute go-to person when any serious issues arise. This doesn't surprise everyone since many say that the NYRA has been on automatic pilot for years.
Sadly, that has a ring of truth: If it were not for the fact that NYRA owns some of the best support staff in the industry--from officials to administrators to backstretch personnel to security—all departments, really--the show could not possibly go on.
However, sometimes you need to speak with someone in charge. The only one I can think of would be NYRA Board Chairman C. Steven Duncker, but he's been virtually invisible since he assumed the role in 2005 after helping NYRA retain its franchise.
I have something I'd like to see done, and it's a little thing, really, but one that has a positive effect on the bottom line. It helps all customers, really; fractional wagering.
Now before anyone's underwear gets twisted in a knot, we're not talking about the anything new here; nothing to send in, no box-tops to clip. And even if the bottom line didn't benefit, customer service is priceless, right?
I mentioned the following issue to Hayward in Saratoga a few years ago; he said he would look into it but apparently never found the time. Like I said, it's a little thing, but one that can have a positive effect once on-track players know they have another option when making certain simulcast bets.
The issue is why offer simulcast wagering if you have no intention to offer the same betting menu in place at the simulcast venue? The issue re-surfaced on Saturday but I first became aware some years ago when I tried to place self-service 50-Cent trifecta wagers on Arlington Million day but couldn't; the reason I sought out Hayward.
Even though 50-Cent trifectas are available at some of NYRA's simulcast partners, their full betting menu is not available at New York tracks. Why?
I can think of two reasons: Either NYRA does not want to make an investment in writing new computer code allowing such wagers to be placed on self-service betting machines, or they don't want to give an edge in a competitive betting marketplace:
The fear that the casual bettor, the customer racing covets, might not invest in $1 NYRA trifectas if his dollars can go twice as far in a 50-Cent pool is typically short-sighted. Or perhaps it's strictly business; NYRA gets a larger slice of the take from the live product.
Or maybe it's because NYRA can't offer the wager by statute because it doesn't offer 50-Cent trifectas on its races. If that's the case, it's more parochial thinking but all parties concerned.
The benefit of fractional wagering is that it puts bettors in pools they might normally avoid due to the link between cost and degree of difficulty.
If NYRA has the will, all that it needs to do is make a simple request to the State Racing & Wagering Board permitting it to offer any fractional wager at simulcast tracks with which NYRA does business. Recall that New York bettors were allowed to wager on Dime Superfectas before they were available locally.
It's instructive to note there was a time when I asked a former NYRA executive about why superfecta wagering at the time was not allowed in races with stable couplings when trifectas were: If both members of an entry finished in two of the top three positions, the trifecta was completed by the horse that finished fourth. I asked whether he thought horseplayers were unable to count to five.
He said it wasn't a logistical issue but that such "favors"--like changes to its betting menu--were granted if there were some quid pro quo for the state, such as, say, a rise in takeout. I asked a SRWB operative the same question. He explained it was more about "setting agendas," that there might be more urgent matters to discuss, etc., etc.
After a while, I stopped asking.
When Dime Supers began to become popular, bean counters explained that the bet was wasn't good for them because it only cannibalized money from the trifecta pool. At first, this was true, but Superfecta handle has grown considerably and the Trifecta remains as popular as ever.
Why shouldn't a 50-Cent wager help increase Trifecta handle in the same way Dimes did the Super?
Handle is important not only for bottom line considerations but for pool liquidity. Without sizable pools, sizable bets cannot be sustained. It lessens potential payouts for big and small bettors alike. Fractional betting grows the game and keeps bettors liquid longer.
So that's my issue: I want to bet simulcast tracks as if I was there and at a rate I can afford. Keep me liquid and I'll keep betting.
Is there anyone alive out there who can help me and my fellow horseplayers with this?
John Pricci

Looking for a Church (part 2)
From Rev'd Dr Peter Mullen:
To His Grace Archbishop Thomas Cranmer of Canterbury –
I am desirous, My Lord, of such refuge that I might hear and receive the prayers and supplications of thy Book of Common Prayer. Many times have I sought but it availeth nothing. Last Sunday, My Lord, I did attend a church which back in the 16th century thou wouldst have called a real beaut. It betokeneth the less of decent order and the more of interior design. For where it accustometh us there be candles upon the Table of the Lord, most conveniently displayed, the one on the right hand and the one on the left, signifying and representing unto us the Epistle and the Holy Gospel, here the twain were set very delicately all upon one end, such that men might exclaim, "Behold, how dinky! Of a truth this belongeth in the Ideal Homes catalogue."
The Minister essayed fair of speech, howbeit he was wont to intrude an exceeding loftiness of tongue which hath more of that delivered by the courtly players than that which is seemly in God's dwelling-place, so that I did ponder in my heart what manner of salutation this might be. And when it cometh even unto that the prayer for the whole state of Christ's church militant here in earth, he spake also sundry fancies and decorations to vex the ear, to wit, "especially the people of Syria and our economy here at home." Other were there also among the superfluity of naughtinesses.
It is written, thy house shall be a house of prayer but these have turned it into a den of manifold and great adornment upon the pillars and even unto the roof thereof, behold gorgeous writings and upon the very walls also. So that them that were met together therein might murmur among themselves, "What abomination is this which standeth in the holy place?"
Moreover, Your Grace, I was astonied and sore discomfited for that it was proclaimed which Supper of the Lord should be upon the morrow, the "Priest" might be a woman. My Lord, how can these things be? And so I went my way sorrowing, for my soul waxed very heavy, and pondered within myself why, as scripture saith, I cain't get no satisfaction. Then I came to myself and did anoint my face and gird up my loins and did purpose what I should do, even that I should cease not from walking up and down the earth seeking that comfort and resting place wherein the Ministers and Stewards of thy Holy Word do speak in a language understanded of the people and all things be accomplished in a decent order.
How long, O Lord, how long?
Rev'd Dr Peter Mullen is an author and former rector of St Michael's, Cornhill in the City of London.

i'm pretty new to web programming and programming in general.
i want to make a web page with various languages (english, italian, croatian...etc)
i wrote the html for it but i encountered a problem.
i want to make the site remember the language a visitor has set the last time he visited my webpage in a cookie.
and every time before the parsing of the page i want my javascript file to check if the language cookie is set, and if not, to create it and set its value to "english".
i used jquery and jquery cookie plugin (they are regular included in index.html in the <head><script> tag but the code seems to do nothing!
the strange thing is that in the javascript console of google crome every row of code seems to work correctly but put all togheter they are useless!
here is my code!
var language_cookie = $.cookie('Languge');
if (language_cookie == null)
$.cookie("Language", "ENG", {expires: 365})});
var language_cookie1 = $.cookie('Languge');
if (language_cookie1 == "ENG")

var language_cookie = $.cookie('[COLOR=#ff0000]Languge[/COLOR]');
if (language_cookie == null)
$.cookie("[COLOR=#ff0000]Language[/COLOR]", "ENG", {expires: 365})});
It''s a language problem.

Tennessee State and Eastern Kentucky are the two ranked football teams in the Ohio Valley Conference, but they aren't necessarily playing in the most significant games on Saturday.
It's a crossroads day in the tightly bunched title race. Jacksonville State visits Eastern Illinois and UT Martin goes to Murray State in games matching four of the five teams with 2-1 conference records.
Each team is nipping at the heels of 18th-ranked Tennessee State (6-0), the conference leader at 2-0. No. 23 Eastern Kentucky (4-2) also is 2-1 in a conference that has its top six teams separated by one-half game.
"Every week, if you win, you kind of separate yourself from the rest of the pack just a little bit more," Murray State coach Chris Hatcher said.
"You always want to control your own destiny. Of course, Tennessee State's at the top and then there's a bunch of us that have one defeat in the conference. You kind of look at it, if you've got one defeat right now, in a way you do kind of control your own destiny. Just win the rest of 'em and everything takes care of itself. But that's a lot easier said than done."
Eastern Kentucky figures to keep pace in the race by playing a home game against last-place Austin Peay. Tennessee State, off to its best start since 2001, puts its unbeaten record on the line at Southeast Missouri State, which also has only one OVC loss at 1-1 in the conference.
"If you start looking ahead, you won't be there in the end," Eastern Illinois coach Dino Babers said. "You can't do that, you've got to lock in."

Xavier Paul showed why he was batting leadoff today for Clint Hurdle; he pushed a bunt past the mound to start the game with a sixty foot knock, picking up from last night. Josh Harrison shot a single into center, and it was first and third before your beer lost its head.
McCutch dropped one into right for a run, chased Harrison to the hot corner, and then stole second. Neil Walker did his job; he bounced out to the right side, plating Harrison and moving McCutch up a station.
Lyle Overbay didn't do his part, as he grounded out to first and McCutch had to hold. Matt Diaz bailed him out with a knock to right to make it 3-0 Pittsburgh. Cedeno dropped a knock into right on a pop that Ruben Tejada couldn't quite glove. Mike Pelfrey got Dusty Brown swinging, but the Bucs bought Paul Maholm some room to work.
He liked it; a strikeout, pop out, and ground out took care of the Mets.
It didn't get much better for Pelfrey. Paul had a one out knock, and stole second with two down. The swipe paid off when McCutch lased one into center to chase the X-Man home. He trotted home himself after Walker crushed a ball into right center for his seventh dinger.
The Mets had a one-out double rapped by Angel Pagan, but he got no closer than third. The Bucs kept a' comin'. After two outs, Dusty Brown walked, Maholm singled, and Paul - who now has five consecutive hits against the Mets - singled Brown in. Pelfrey escaped only after Harrison's liner was hit right at Tejada to end the frame.
The Mets had an answer this time. With two away, Jose Reyes and Justin Turner lined back-to-back singles. Carlos Beltran mashed a 1-2 heater that was a little up and right down the gut into the left center field seats for his ninth of the year, and it was 7-3.
The Bucs finally went in order in the fourth, as did the Mets. The Bucs went 1-2-3 in the fifth, too. It would be Pelfrey's last frame; he was yanked for a pinch hitter in the bottom half of the inning. Scott Hairston, who batted for Pelfrey, singled for NY's only runner of the frame.
The Bucs' Maholm rapped his second single. He was forced by Paul, whose hit streak ended, and the X-Man was picked off first. Harrison bounced out to end it. Beltran continued to haunt Maholm; he led off the sixth with a double. Jay Bay followed with a walk. With two away, Nick Evans drew a walk to load them.
It was a key moment in the game, and Clint Hurdle let Maholm face righty Tejada. It was not a good decision by the ol' skipper; Tejada singled in a pair to make it 7-5. PM faced lefty pinch hitter Daniel Murphy. He singled to right for a score; runners ended up at second and third on a throwing error by Diaz.
Hurdle called on Chris Resop, a couple of batters too late. Maholm went 5-2/3 innings, giving up seven runs on eight hits, walking two and K'ing two while throwing 91 pitches. Can't blame the attack today.
Resop threw a changeup in the dirt; it scooted through Brown for a passed ball and tied the game. He K'ed Reyes, but the Mets had come back from a touchdown behind to tie the game.
Bobby Parnell took the ball for the Mets. The hard thrower got through the frame, issuing just a two-out walk (though he did wild-pitch him to second). Resop also allowed a two away runner when he hit Jay Bay with a curve. At the end of seven, tied at seven.
Jason Isringhausen took over in the eighth; he struck out Cedeno and Brown. Garrett Jones grabbed a stick and singled with two away. He didn't last long; he became the second Buc picked off first base today.
Jose Veras toed the rubber for Pittsburgh. Ronny Paulino greeted him with a single up the middle, and Willie Harris came in to run. Terry Collins sent up pitcher Chris Capuano to pinch hit for Isringhausen; we'd suspect a bunt is coming. But it got interesting.
Josh Thole pinch hit for the pinch hitter after Capuano fouled off a couple of bunt tries. Then a balk and wild pitch later, a walk to Tholes put runners at the corners with no outs. Tejada hit a sac fly to center, and the Metropolitans had come back from a seven run hole. Thole tagged and got to second; Veras walked Murphy intentionally. Reyes walked on four pitches, unintentionally.
With the bases loaded, Turner popped out. But JV walked Beltran to bring home another run. Daniel McCutchen climbed the hill and whiffed Bay. But it was 9-7 Mets with three outs to go.
Francisco Rodriguez come on to close for New York. Paul started things off in a big way, tripling to right center. Harrison flew out to medium center; Paul held; his run isn't the important one. McCutch whiffed swinging. Walker singled up the middle to bring the Pirates to within one.
Overbay went after a first-pitch heater pretty much down the middle, but he was a little late on it and popped it foul to third, and that sealed a come-from-ahead 9-8 defeat.
Clint Hurdle waited too long to pull Maholm, the Pirates walked six and only K'ed four, two guys were picked off, two fielding blunders padded the Met total...but hey, the pitching wasn't going to last forever like it was the sixties Dodger arms.
Still, a solid game behind the pitchers might have helped carry them through on a rare day when they struggled. Oh well, back to the 'Burgh where Jeff Karstens matches pitches with Cole Hamels and the Phils tomorrow night.
-- This is the second time this year the Mets have gotten Pelfrey off the hook after he's fallen behind 7-0. And it's the first time they've come back from being down 7-0 since 2000, according to ESPN's Adam Rubin.
-- The Bucs' starting pitchers streak of 13 straight games giving up 2 runs or fewer ended today (and how!); it was the longest such streak since 1968.
-- Bradenton Marauders IF Jarek Cunningham, C Ramon Cabrera, 1B Aaron Baker, RHP Kyle McPherson and RHP Brett Lorin were named to the Florida State (Class High A) mid-season All-Star team today.

It was, Will, but Maholm, even when he's going well, is prone to the occasional horrid outing, and today the gloves didn't help his cause. True that it's one they should have had, but if the guys don't carry it over, it's just another L, nothing more. Now if they don't turn the page...

SMS cheerleaders attend camp
Sweetwater Middle School sent two cheer squads to Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA) cheer camp in July 2013. Along with their traditional eight member eighth grade squad, SMS has formed a seven member cheerleading squad for seventh grade, for the first time in SMS history. This expansion means SMS will have two different squads at sporting events for their respective grades, and will combine efforts for all pep rallies this season.The combined squads travelled with Sweetwater High School squads to San Angelo, where they participated in a four-day/overnight cheer camp, on the Angelo State University campus. ASU's third camp installment was host to over 480 cheerleading participants from school districts statewide. SMS combined squads received Superior blue ribbon ratings on all evaluated performances, including second place overall winners of the 'Extreme Routine' competition in the Large Junior High Division. Individuals also had the opportunity to compete and be recognized in special events, including competing for All-American Cheerleader, a camp 'Jump-Off' and Cheer Achievement participant pinnings. Along with the expansion of cheer and pep squad activity, this season will kickoff with new cheer coaches as well. Cassandra Mendez and Tanya Monday will both serve as SMS cheer coaches for cheer and pep squad. The two are Sweetwater Alumni, and cheered on their respective eighth grade SMS squads.Mendez cheered all four years at Sweetwater High School and was the first Cheerleading High School All-American recipient, in SISD history. Mendez also cheered on the collegiate level co-ed squad with McMurry University.Monday currently serves on the PBIS committee for SISD, and is also studying Early Childhood Education through Cisco Junior College. Mendez and Monday are both paraprofessionals at Sweetwater Middle School. "Our girls had the opportunity to participate in a fast paced environment of fun and cheerleading, working on proper technique and basic skills they will need for their cheer season. They did an outstanding job, and we have really enjoyed working with this group of amazing young ladies. We are very excited to be a part of such significant changes for our middle school squads, and have been met with complete support from our administration. We are thankful to Terry Pittman, Kathy Smartt, Jeff Withrow and Danette Price for being so instrumental in making this happen for SMS, not to mention the invaluable mentoring we have received from high-school cheer coach, Kassidi Seaton, and our high school cheer squads, as well. We've expanded enrollment for our pep squad, and boast a significant roster, from all three SMS grades. We have 41 members this year and we are looking forward to having them represent Sweetwater at all SMS home games and SMS pep rallies," said Mendez.

The Tidy-Up God

The Morning Heresy is your daily digest of news and links relevant to the secular and skeptic communities.
Well here's a thing. Jessica Ahlquist just won herself a First Amendment Award. Oh, let me clarify: She's won the Hugh M. Hefner First Amendment Award.
You can't make this stuff up: Three folks found guilty of breaking into a National Security Complex, including an 83-year-old nun:
The trio spent about two hours inside the Oak Ridge facility in July, cutting through fences to reach a facility known as the "Fort Knox of uranium." Once there, they painted slogans, chipped off a part of a wall with hammers and splattered human blood on the exterior.
Fake psychic Sylvia Browne has this to say about her being really, really wrong:
For more than 50 years as a spiritual psychic and guide, when called upon to either help authorities with missing person cases or to help families with questions about their loved ones, I have been more right than wrong. If ever there was a time to be grateful and relieved for being mistaken, this is that time. Only God is right all the time.
Tom Flynn explores the crisis of sexual assaults in the military through the lens of gender integration:
I'm not suggesting that the abuse crisis demonstrates that women are incapable of serving alongside men. Far from it. No, I'm wondering whether this crisis reveals that military men (or at least a significant fraction among them) are unfit to serve alongside women.
The latest edition of eSkeptic includes coverage of CFI's and other groups' protests against atheist persecution in Bangladesh. Britain's police chief is now looking to protect Bangladeshi political activists in the UK who are reportedly being targeted by radical Islamists.
Leah Libresco introduces us to a forum for atheist-Catholic dialogue: Strange Notions. The Vatican also holds an atheist-Catholic dialogue in Mexico!
WHO is now bearish on prospects for eliminating measels as anti-vax misinformation spreads.
Rhode Island's Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse is unimpressed by biblical arguments to do nothing about climate change:
[W]hy then, when we ignore his plain, natural laws, when we ignore the obvious conclusions to be drawn by our God-given intellect and reason, why then would God, the tidy-up God, drop in and spare us? Why would he allow an innocent child to burn its hand when it touches the hot stove but protect us from this lesson? Why would he allow a badly engineered bridge or building to fall, killing innocent people, but protect us from this mistake?
Sgt. 1st Class Naida Hosan is not a Muslim, but has been harrassed for having a name that "sounds Muslim."
Dalai Lama to violent Buddhists: Stop it.
Peter Boghossian is interviewed by Vanguard about creating atheists in this video.
Ashutosh Jogalekar at SciAm tries to work out the real difference between a climate change "denier" and "skeptic."
I just saw this, and I know it's old news to some of you, but...holy crap! PZ Myers hanging out with Ray Comfort while Jessica Ahlquist and Margaret Downey are fighting with bananas!!!!
Joe Nickell graduates from Bigfoot School.
Folks in Utica, NY are feeling are warm and fuzzy in the embrace of the area's two new saints.
Pacific Standard wonders: What's up with these physicians using quack alt-med?
Amy Frykholm at Religion & Politics writes that Hillary Clinton was a Secretary of State who uniquely engaged with religion in her on-the-ground work.
The pope says nuns should be "fruitful" as spiritual mothers and not "spinsters." I assume he also doesn't want them going near uranium.
Quote of the Day
Yes, it comes from a member of the Catholic hierarchy. Milan's Archbishop Angelo Scola:
In those countries still dominated by state religion...protecting religious freedom means above all encouraging religious pluralism and opening to all forms of religious expression, for example eliminating laws that criminally punish blasphemy.
Linking to a story or webpage does not imply endorsement by Paul or CFI. Not every use of quotation marks is ironic or sarcastic, but it often is.

Authorities say a man led police on a chase through Albuquerque's Coronado Mall parking lot as pedestrians dodged behind parked cars to avoid being hit by him.
Sergeant Ferris Simmons says 24-year-old Justin Cordova was apprehended Sunday. The pursuit ended after Cordova reportedly crashed a van into three vehicles stopped at a traffic light near the mall. He and a female passenger tried to flee on foot.
Police were alerted to Cordova earlier as he drove the van on mall property while apparently trying to avoid security.
When a police car pulled in front of Cordova's van, he threw it into reverse, ramming a security vehicle and then speeding away.
Simmons says an officer suffered minor injuries as he narrowly escaped being hit. A man who also attempted to get out of the way was struck with a side mirror.
Police say the van and a handgun thrown out of the vehicle had been stolen.

Views were for the birders
On Manomet Point in Plymouth, a high bluff with panoramic views of Cape Cod Bay, bird watchers from across Eastern Massachusetts braved wind gusts of 40 to 50 miles per hour Monday to scan the horizon with binoculars. They said the storm presented a rare opportunity, with powerful northeasterly winds pushing bird species they normally don't see into viewing range.
"We're out in force," said Steve Arena, a veteran birder from Westborough who parked his car at the edge of the bluff and sat studying the skies over the ocean from the shelter of the driver's seat. "We're here for the day."
Nearby, Plymouth bird watcher Mark Faherty pointed out a Cory's shearwater, a seabird that nests closer to the Mediterranean. "It's flying left – just turned right," he said. He added it to a list of sightings that included the horned grebe and the white-winged scoter.
During a storm last year, Faherty said, bird watchers at the Quabbin Reservoir spotted species they normally would have to go to Bermuda to see.
"There are holy grail birds like the Atlantic puffin, and sometimes, in a storm like this, you get them," he said. "But you have to put in the time to get a real find."

Gone with the wind?
Salem tourism officials are closely monitoring Hurricane Sandy's path, but expect that Halloween festivities planned for Wednesday will go on as planned.
"I'm just holding my breath and waiting for the storm to pass," Kate Fox, executive director of Destination Salem, the city's tourism office, said Monday.
Wind, not rain, will determine if dance parties, a beer garden, and a fireworks display planned for city streets will be held on Wednesday night, she said.
"We've had the events before in light rain," Fox said. "We're really hoping that the wind dies down, and there isn't a fear that the beer garden will get blown away, and we can have Halloween as planned."
The owners of private tourist attractions will decide if they choose to stay open, Fox added. Most were closed Monday, after Governor Deval Patrick declared a state of emergency. Some also plan to be closed on Tuesday.
The hurricane prompted a flurry of cancellations at The Hawthorne Hotel, a 93-room venue that is usually sold out for Halloween week. There are 30 vacancies for Halloween night, general manager Julie Lederhaus said.
"It's definitely had a financial impact," Lederhaus said, noting the hotel is offering special deals to fill beds.

Storm fills up Twitter feeds
The hurricane provoked a wave of tweets. Since Friday, more than 3.3 million Sandy posts have showed up on Twitter, according to Crimson Hexagon Inc., a Boston social media analytics firm. Most people discussed the storm's status, said Wayne St. Amand, the company's vice president of marketing, while others posted updates on how they rode out the bad weather. "Events that affect large numbers of individuals are the kinds of things that draw people online and get them talking," said St. Amand.
#Sandy and #frankenstorm were among popular hashtags. The company characterized 2 percent of the hurricane tweets this way: "Bring it on, Sandy!"

Stocking up for Fido
Pet owners made last-minute trips Monday morning and early afternoon to stock up on food and key supplies to care for their pets.
Standing at the checkout counter of the Unleashed by Petco pet supplies store in Allston, 50-year-old resident Arthur Laurie said he was buying food for his two cats and three dogs "in case everything goes to pot." The storm had just started to pick up steam in Boston as whipping winds brought reports of power outages, downed trees, and other damage.
"We want to make sure we have enough food to ride out the storm," said Laurie, who also owns two guinea pigs, which he said had plenty of food.
The scene at pet shops before major storms is similar to the frantic rush for human food and supplies at grocery stores, said an employee at the Allston pet shop.
"It's pretty much the same thing as a grocery store before a blizzard when people buy bread, milk, and butter," the worker said. "People come in here for the basics."
— Matt Rocheleau
Showtime in Plymouth
The small, gray-shingled Manomet Lobster Pound in Plymouth was open and doing a brisk business in clam chowder, cooked shrimp, and crabcakes, employees said as the wind banged the door open and shut. Outside, cars crawled past on their way to the edge of a scenic promontory.
"It's like a parade," employee Bryan Williams said of the steady traffic. But, he acknowledged, the storm "is quite the show."
Lobster Pound founder Frank Collins, who started the landmark Plymouth business 49 years ago, was unimpressed by the storm.
"This is a normal nor'easter, compared to some of the serious storms we've had," he said. "I haven't even bought new flashlight batteries."
A short drive down the coastal road on White Horse Beach, school nurse Robin Deshowitz was witnessing her first major ocean storm, and she felt awe at the sight.
"It's beautiful. . . . It's amazing," said Deshowitz, who moved to Plymouth last fall, as she took pictures of the towering waves, bundled in a blue windbreaker. "It gives you an appreciation for nature. . . . It's scary, and you hope everyone is safe, but at the same time you feel humbled."
— Jenna Russell
Spirits, willing
Many businesses around the region shuttered Monday, but those that stayed open made the best of it. Towne Stove and Spirits served a special cocktail for those who braved the storm in the Back Bay: a $9 Hurricane — a mixture of rums, passion fruit syrup, and juices. The Red Hat in Scollay Square kept its usual hours and served up a "Perfect Storm" cocktail.
"It's a little quiet," said bartender Acadia Bombaci. "But there are some people drinking the Perfect Storm and riding out the weather."

Anyone But You
Author's note: Just entertainment.
North CarolinaI sat on the last step of the stairs going up to my front porch. A summer breeze brushed my rosy cheeks. In the air was the sweet aroma of fresh cut roses and grass.Many things raced through my mind as I embraced my last day in North Carolina. Since my parents,who never cared about me, thought New York would give me a better life, as well as a better career, they decided to ruin my life and move there to start a new life. But my life was perfect here. I was the good, shy, teacher's pet, kind of girl..at least that's what everyone thought. I was a good actress, as a matter of fact, I thought a while back about becoming an actress. I guess that's why my parents wanted to move to New York, you know that's where most actors and actresses are born or either gets the job offer. But me, nah, that wasn't my kind of thing. To most people my kind of thing was being a teacher, or a librarian, but that wasn't my kind of career either. What I wanted to be was a, cook. Most people often discouraged me from taking up culinary arts, but I never listened to them. That's why this new year, in my new school, in my new life, I will become a cook. Most seventeen year old teenage girls, wouldn't dream about being a cook, instead they'd dream about being a model, or an actress, or even a fashionista. I guess that's what made me so different from teenage girls, aside from looks. I wouldn't say I was the prettiest girl, but I wouldn't say I was the ugliest. To me, I was natural, since I never wore make-up or anything like that. I have light brown eyes, and a dark brownish hair color, sort of common. I wasn't the kind of girl that would want to be swept away by a knight and get married in a fancy church. No, I want a regular man, to fall in love with me and then get married near a place with lots of scenery, not in a church. I'm sorta a nature person, but I hate camping, never understood that. But back with the marriage thing, I want him to have sea-green eyes, black hair, and a cute smile. The kind of smile that would make you want to smile too. But here's how my boring life started.
I was born to Iryna and Eric Huntsberg, not the perfect set of people, but they did try their best to care for me. There was a whole argument over my whole family, not only immediate, but the other part of my family as well with what my name should be. You see, my mom, was the kind of girl that had to have everything perfect. And my dad, was someone who didn't care about anything, except her. As a matter of fact he did, nope never mind, he never cared for me. So, my mom's parents wanted me to be named, Juby. What the heck kind of name was that anyway? Juby? Anyway, on my dad's side, they wanted me to be named, Sunset. Where did they come up with these names? Not even god would know, and he supposedly knows everything, right? Well, some how they came up with my name as Dawn. It was better than Juby and Sunset. " Dawn Huntsberg" they said as they held me up to the ceiling of the hospital like Simba from The Lion King. But I was born way before Lion King was made, I was born in the year of 1977. In the 70's would you believe that? Now that period had some bad fashion, even though the fashion now is pretty lame, the 70's was still bad. Thank goodness I wasn't born during the 60's, I would've had to live through the 70's. It is now the year of, hold on, let me check my calendar. Ah, 1994, the worst year of my life, but I don't really know that right yet. Since I've told you a little, no maybe alot, about myself, why don't you inform about yourself? No? Okay then, lets move onto my life. By the way, I forgot to mention, that I'm writing this all in my diary, so when I die of boredom, people will see what an amazing person I was to have to go through all that pain. Maybe " Boredom" will become an official disease one day, you never know. Like how I never knew I was going to move to New York in a shop that sold food. Now, there was another family that was going to live with us. Practically all that separated us was a white line. Seriously! I wonder what kind of people they are...sad, energetic, show offs, kind, talkative, or just simple. This year is going to be one that I definitely have to record in my pink, by the way I absolutely hate that color, locked private diary. So I know I said this before but I will now explain to you what's happening in my life of 1994, my junior year of high school. And no, it will not be in diary form, with " August 1st ", no, I hate that crap.

This is one of the best novels for a teenager. I don't know how old you are, but this is definitely above your reading level. You have a good writing sense, and this is good. It could have a little work on it and add more in between characters, but it's really good. Good Job.:)
