UC Press Release July 30 2010
Brookville, N.Y.-- This fall, Long Island University will present iPads to all incoming, full-time freshmen and undergraduate transfer students*, giving them unprecedented access to resources and services via cloud computing. The devices, which can be used in the classroom and beyond, will be theirs to keep after graduation
Offering convenience and portability, the iPad will enhance the students' educational experience, providing them with a powerful tool to: connect with classmates, faculty members and advisers; organize, store and share files, assignments and presentations; access their academic and financial aid records; download digital books; take notes in class; and conduct research online.
"The new, emerging concept out there is cloud computing. And Long Island University is part of that 'cloud.' All you need is a device like an iPad to access everything you need to move through your college years," explained George Baroudi, the University's chief information officer and chief business improvement officer. "We are moving toward ubiquitous access to knowledge, information and University services. We're in an era of change, and we're riding the beginning of that wave."
With more and more books being published in an e-format, the book-reading functionality on the iPad is a huge plus for students. "With a battery life of 10 hours and the flexibility to enable students to read on the fly, it's a game changer," Mr. Baroudi said. "Imagine having a backpack with 20 lbs. of books on your back, and it all disappears into a single device that contains all your books." Students can use iPad applications to purchase and download books from several different online publishers.
In preparation for this pilot program, the University updated its wireless infrastructure, investing $100,000 to create additional access points across the University. The Center for Student Information on each campus will organize the distribution of the iPads and will provide basic training to help students learn to access the University network and to set up iTunes, e-mail accounts and other functions.
"We are developing a framework for communication among faculty members, staff and students that is keeping pace with where technology is taking us in the 21st century," said Paul Forestell, provost of the University's C.W. Post Campus. "By giving our students access to cloud computing, we are creating an environment where faculty and the new millennials can more efficiently and effectively collaborate on the process of learning."
Boasting a Multi-Touch(tm) user interface, a large screen and extensive multimedia capabilities, the iPad runs hundreds of thousands of applications, making it a versatile tool for research and study across the disciplines.
"We are delighted to put this cutting-edge device in our students' hands," said Gale Stevens Haynes, provost of the University's Brooklyn Campus. "But this initiative is not about the iPad per se. It's is about our ongoing commitment to ensuring that our students have access to the latest tools to enable them to learn, to compete and to thrive in our rapidly evolving world."
The iPad pilot program is just the latest example of the University's continued investments in educational technology. Over the past seven years, the University has upgraded its high-speed, fiber-optic network; introduced blended and online programs; implemented industry-leading Web learning software and course management systems; and introduced Web-based student services.

Minister of Fun bends Ofcom's ear on Freeview-4G knockout
Open letter backs watchdog on operator bribes
Culture minister Ed Vaizey has published an open letter to Ofcom broadly supporting the regulator's efforts to mitigate disruption to Freeview by next-gen mobile broadband.
When LTE (4G telephony) kicks in there's likely to be some interference in the neighbouring TV channels, so £180m of the money raised from selling the spectrum will go into stopping telly screens from going blank.
Ofcom has been consulting on the best way to go about that, and now the Minister of Fun (sorry, "Culture, Communications and Creative Industries") has stepped back into the debate [PDF as fun and exciting as you'd expect a ministerial letter to be].
Most viewers won't have a problem, but those in areas receiving channels adjacent to LTE, who are also using signal boosters, could see their TVs going dark. The real problem is that no one knows how many people fall into that category, so deciding what to do about it is tough.
Ofcom estimates 2.3 million houses could be affected, and had proposed mailing out filters to those homes with easy-to-follow instructions which should work in the majority of cases. That won't work where the booster is fitted in the loft, so the Minister of Fun has decided that such homes will then get a £60 voucher (inc VAT) to redeem with a "Registered Digital Installer" who'll pop up to the loft and plug in the filter.
If that fails, then up to £10,000 per house will be spent providing an alternative way to watch Jeremy Kyle, such as a Freesat dish or cable extension, which is exactly what Ofcom had proposed.
Ofcom had also proposed that any cash left over would be split between the government and the network operators who paid for the licences, which would encourage them to do some mitigation in their network design. Everything Everywhere argued that only getting half the money wouldn't be enough encouragement, and Ed Vaizey agrees, so the operators will get all the left-over cash.
That still leaves the network operators in something of a prisoner's dilemma. If one network operator does nothing to mitigate the problem, they still get a cut of the cash – but if none of them do anything then no one gets any cash. The best strategy would be to make lots of noise about doing mitigation (to convince the other operators you're serious about it) but spend no money on it at all – but we're sure the operators wouldn't be so duplicitous.
Whether that matters we still don't know, as the scale of the problem won't be evident until it's too late. There are certainly a lot of people using Freeview on second sets, or using set-top aerials, who won't receive any help at all, though the minister does suggest a campaign to inform people where they might be able to buy an additional filter or two.
The problem won't manifest until after the UK's 4G mega-Auction, which is still scheduled for early next year, but that's assuming the auction methodology escapes legal challenges when it's published in the autumn – which remains far from certain. ®

text: Succession Planning Tools June 29, 2012 08:59 AM Reach into the Farm Journal Legacy Project toolbox to help plan for the future A family focused on taking constructive action can achieve succession planning success. Using the right tools helps in the process each step of the way. Of the more than 20 tools available, the following eight are the most popular among farm families. A complete list of Legacy Project tools can be downloaded and printed to use at your convenience at the Legacy Project website. 1. Family Meeting Agenda When holding family meetings, it is important to follow an agenda. Use this tool to help your family focus on the important issues. 2. Conversation Starters When it's time to talk about succession, distribute the Conversation Starter questions before the family meeting to help each family member consider his or her goals. During the meeting, take time for family members to share their aspirations. 3. Goals Clarification Worksheet Most farmers have only a vague idea of what they want to achieve from their succession planning efforts. This worksheet is designed to help family members define their goals in three areas: operational integrity, financial security and leadership development. 4. Fair Versus Equal Exercise Use this tool to talk about how to include active and inactive children in the future of the operation. It's a sensitive—but necessary—matter to address. 5. Succession Planning Self-Assessment As you consider your succession planning objectives, respond to these 20 statements to help you identify your priorities and first steps. It's critical for each family member to commit to the process in order to achieve a positive outcome. 6. Buy/Sell Review With so many components involved, it makes sense to periodically review your buy/sell agreement. This tool will help you assess your current agreement and identify those areas that need to be updated. It can also be used to ensure that you've discussed the relevant points and mechanisms with your legal adviser. 7. Establishing a Family Employment Policy It's important to spell out the criteria for hiring and employing family members. The family employment policy helps to establish a businesslike environment for all active family members and allows the managing family members to base decisions on a written policy rather than emotional impulse. 8. Trust/Will Review This tool is designed to encourage discussion about trusts and wills. Detailed questions should be addressed by your legal adviser. Back to news

Diablo III has been out for less than a day, but launch issues have driven a number of gamers to find justice the only way they know how (other than increasingly ridiculous memes): negative product reviews. As of this writing, the game holds a 3.4/10 user score on aggregate site Metacritic. Many writers cite the inability to play offline, especially combined with the lack of available servers at launch. Whether it's right or wrong to review a game you haven't played, it does make for some interesting reading for the rest of us. Here are a few of the highlights.
These pages were current as of May 15.
Damn it, when will we get crows right? Don't get me wrong… they sound great.
1 + 1 = …?
"It's just a 3/10 without the Diablo mark," but it does have the Diablo mark, so he gave it a 2. Also, it totally rips off the other games in the series it's in.
Damn it, Blizzard. You ruined this person's birthday forever.
Filip doesn't have time for this ****.
What were you saying about copying, again?
Take that, Brink! Because that's a solid comparison.
I knew I should have dropped that English degree and majored in Big Monkey Ass. That's clearly where the money is.
Well, at least it's super violent. Otherwise, it would be a complete wash.

Revenue Increases 26% Year-Over-Year
Milpitas, CA, April 26, 2007 - SanDisk® Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK), the world's largest supplier of flash storage card products, today announced results for the first quarter ended April 1, 2007. First quarter revenue increased 26% on a year-over-year basis to $786 million and the net loss in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) was $0.6 million, or $0.00 per share, compared to GAAP net income of $35 million, or $0.17 per share, in the first quarter of 2006.
Excluding the impact of acquisition related charges, stock compensation expense and the related tax effect, first quarter non-GAAP net income was $45 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to first quarter 2006 non-GAAP net income of $90 million, or $0.44 per share.
"First quarter results reflected the current difficult market conditions," said Eli Harari, Chairman and CEO. "In the first quarter our industry experienced excess supply, sharp price declines, and depressed margins. These market conditions were exacerbated by weak seasonal consumer demand in retail. One highlight for the quarter was that the mobile market became our largest revenue generator with 27 million units sold in the quarter. Another highlight was the signing of an important licensing agreement with Hynix, which again validates our strong intellectual property portfolio. In another important milestone for our flash technology, this week Dell announced the launch of notebook PCs that incorporate our 32-gigabyte Solid State Drive (SSD)."
"Looking forward, we project a pick-up in demand during the seasonally strong back half of the second quarter. However, excess supply and depressed pricing is expected to continue through the second quarter, possibly extending through the summer months, putting pressure on our margins. Our outlook is optimistic for renewed growth heading into the fourth quarter of 2007 and forward to 2008. This optimism is based on our expectation of continuing penetration into multimedia handsets, the steady stream of exciting new consumer product introductions such as the Sansa® Connect™, and the exceptionally attractive price points for our products now available to consumers."

It is almost that time of year. There is a crispness in the air promising that it is going to get even colder. There are peppermint mochas in festively designed cups in everyone's glove covered hands. There is even the illusive sound of bells, of the jingle variety, coming from somewhere. The Holiday Season is upon us. This season is the most anticipated time of the year. During the winter, when the natural world is slowing down the whole of human kind seems to be speeding up. There are gifts to buy, people to see, parties to plan, and those aforementioned peppermint mochas to make sure that one can keep up the energy to accomplish all of these tasks.
Despite all the songs saying otherwise, this is also the most stressful time of the year. After weddings, death, and serious illness, polls show that people find the winter holidays to be one of the most stressed filled times. All the rushing about trying to make sure you purchased the most wanted children's gift of the season for little Nephew Timmy or making sure that Great Aunt Gracie is not seated by Cousin Phyllis at the holiday meal so that family feud does not start anew all comes with a price: high stress! Stress from the family, stress from spending, stress from not getting home till late at night. It is time to make a game plan to ensure that this is the most wonderful time of the year (even if that inevitable fight between Great Aunt Gracie and Cousin Phyllis does break out).
Plan Ahead
This seems like a simple thing, but it can really help keep you jolly. Try not to overburden yourself every day. Instead, dedicate a couple days a week to holiday planning and shopping. Keep a long-term holiday task list and organize it to make sure that you are using your time effectively. There is no need to have you running to the toy store every week to wait in that unending holiday line when you can just do all your shopping at once.
Take Time for Yourself
This is really a continuation of planning ahead, but is important enough to have its own section. One of the best things about this season is it allows us time to think of others and to enjoy time with them. However, it can be easy to become wrapped up in everyone else's needs and the desire to make the holiday season perfect for them that often we end up feeling drained and neglecting ourselves. Take some time to recharge yourself so you can better enjoy the time with family and friends rather than focusing on how worn out you are. Taking time for yourself can simply be reserving a weekly bubble bath time to decompress or reading a chapter a night of a book you have been wanting to read. It does not matter what it is as long as you feel refreshed and are ready to take on that supermarket line.
Simplify and Prioritize
Everything does not have to be perfect. You are not Martha Stewart, you are YOU. Prioritize what really are the most important parts of this season time for YOU. Maybe it is making popcorn tinsel for the tree. Maybe it is making a Yule Log cake for the family gathering. Maybe it is meeting up with your sister to chat and drink cider. Maybe it is going with your parents to pick out a tree. Whatever these parts are make sure to plan and set aside time for them. Everything else can be moved to the back burner. Remember, you don't have to attend every holiday party you are invited to.
Slow Down
No matter what this holiday season remember this is that wonderful time of year where you are encouraged to slow down and spend time with family and friends. It is these people that make this season special. So what if your perfectly planned holiday meal did not come out. Enjoy the time with your family and friends that you may or may not have gotten the chance to see and remember there is always take out.

It is important that members of the Board of Trustees of the Connecticut State University System and all Connecticut State University System employees conduct themselves with the highest degree of honor and integrity and understand that public service is a public trust. Ethical conduct in our relationships with each other, members of the public, our students, other state agencies, and private entities is of critical importance.
This Ethics Statement has been prepared pursuant to Section 1-83 of the Connecticut General Statutes, which mandates the development and implementation of an Ethics Statement by each state agency. It applies to the members of the Board of Trustees and to all employees of the Connecticut State University System. This Statement is intended to serve as a general guide to assist you in identifying and avoiding prohibited conduct. It does not contain a complete listing of prohibited conduct nor is it intended to replace or supersede the Code of Ethics for Public Officials (set forth in Chapter 10 of the Connecticut General Statutes), other applicable sections of the Connecticut General Statutes, or the regulations of the Office of State Ethics.
It is your responsibility to become familiar with the provisions of this Statement and comply with them. It is also your responsibility to maintain high ethical standards and alert your supervisor of any suspected violation of ethical standards, whether or not specifically described in this Ethics Statement. You should be aware that violations may result in the imposition of sanctions by agencies or systems external to the Connecticut State University System. Whether this occurs or not, the System retains the right to independently review and respond administratively to violations
- A "business with which you are associated" means any sole proprietorship, partnership, firm, corporation, trust or other entity through which business for profit or not-for-profit is conducted in which you or a member of your immediate family is a director, officer, owner, limited or general partner, beneficiary of a trust, or holder of stock constituting five per cent (5%) or more of the total outstanding stock of any class. Neither you nor a member of your immediate family will be deemed to be associated with a not-for-profit entity solely by virtue of the fact that you or a member of your immediate family is an unpaid director or officer of such entity. The term "officer" refers only to the president, executive or senior vice president, or treasurer of such business.
- A "gift" is defined as anything of value, which is directly and personally received, unless consideration of equal or greater value is given in return. Among the sixteen (16) exceptions to the definition of "gift" set forth in Section 1-79 of the Connecticut General Statutes, a "gift" does not include:
- A certificate, plaque or other ceremonial award costing less than one hundred dollars ($100.00);
- A rebate, discount or promotional item available to the general public (items such as pencils, ball point pens, note pads and similar items used as advertisement "give-away's" fall within this category);
- Food or beverage or both, costing less than fifty dollars ($50.00) in the aggregate in a calendar year, and consumed on an occasion or occasions at which the person paying, directly or indirectly, for your food or beverage, or his representative, is in attendance;
- Admission to a charitable or civic event, including food and beverage provided at such event (but excluding lodging or travel expenses), at which you participate in your official capacity, provided such admission is provided by the primary sponsoring entity; and
- Anything having a value of not more than ten dollars ($10.00), provided the aggregate value of all things provided by a donor to you under this subsection in a calendar year does not exceed fifty dollars ($50.00).
- Your "immediate family" consists of your spouse, your children, and any dependent relatives who reside in your household.
- "Necessary expenses" are necessary travel expenses, lodging for the nights before, of and after an appearance, speech or event, meals, and any related conference or seminar registration fees.
- A "person" means an individual, sole proprietorship, trust, corporation, limited liability company, union, association, firm, partnership, committee, club or other organization or group of persons.
- You have an interest that is in "substantial conflict" with the proper discharge of your duties as a public official or state employee if you have reason to believe or expect that you, your spouse or dependent child, or a business with which you are associated, will derive a direct monetary gain or suffer a direct monetary loss, by reason of your official activity.
You do not have an interest which is in substantial conflict with the proper discharge of your duties as a public official or state employee, if any such gain or loss accrues to you, your spouse or dependent child, or a business with which you, your spouse or dependent child is associated, as a member of a profession, occupation or group to no greater extent than any other member of such profession, occupation or group.
- You have a "potential conflict of interest" when you would be required to take an action that would affect a financial interest of yours, your spouse, parent, brother, sister, child or child's spouse, or of a business with which you are associated (other than an interest of a de minimis nature), an interest that is not distinct from that of a substantial segment of the general public, or an interest in substantial conflict with the performance of your official duties.
Prohibited Activities
As a public official or state employee you may not:
- Knowingly accept any gift from any person who: (a) is known to be a registered lobbyist or a lobbyist representative; (b) is doing business with or seeking to do business with the System, your university or your department; (c) is engaged in activities which are directly regulated by the System, your university or your department; or (d) is a contractor pre-qualified under section 4a-100 of the Connecticut General Statutes. (A list of registered lobbyists may be found on the website maintained by the Office of State Ethics.) If an employee is offered a benefit from someone whom is not a prohibited donor as described above (that is, a non-regulated donor), and the benefit is offered because of the employee's position with the System, the total value of benefits received from one source in a calendar may not exceed $100.00.
- Knowingly accept, directly or indirectly, any gift costing one hundred dollars ($100.00) or more either from a state employee under your supervision or from your supervisor. Nor may you knowingly give such a gift. The prohibition against accepting such gifts applies also to members of your immediate family.
- Enter into a contract with the state, valued at one hundred dollars ($100.00) or more (other than a contract of employment as a state employee), unless the contract has been awarded through an open and public competitive process. This prohibition applies also to members of your immediate family and businesses with which you are associated. According to the Office of State Ethics, an immediate family member may not be hired as an independent contractor through special payroll unless there has been an open and public process.
- Accept a fee or honorarium for an article, appearance, speech, or for participation at an event in your official capacity. However, you may accept payment or reimbursement for necessary expenses incurred for any such activity. If payment or reimbursement is received for lodging or out-of-state travel or both, you must report the payment or reimbursement to the Office of State Ethics within thirty (30) days of receiving such payment or reimbursement, unless the payment or reimbursement is provided by the federal government or another state government. You may also accept admission to, and food and beverages provided by the sponsor of, an in-state event that you attend in your official capacity and as a principal speaker. Generally, if you are asked to participate in an event, speak, appear or write an article primarily as a result of your official position or authority, then it will be deemed to be in your official capacity. If, however, you have developed an academic expertise in a particular field and you are asked to participate in an event, speak, appear or write an article as a result of such expertise, then you are not prohibited from accepting a fee or honorarium. Note that these situations are very fact specific and you are encouraged to contact the Office of State Ethics, as necessary, for clarification and guidance. Note also that services for which compensation is claimed must be provided on your own time.
- Use your official position for personal financial benefit, or the financial benefit of a family member or a business with which you, or a family member, are associated. Further, you may not use state time, personnel or materials, including telephones, computers, e-mail systems, fax machines, copy machines, state vehicles, and any other state supplies, for personal, non-state related purposes. You may refer to the System Office or your university's Computer Use Policy, as applicable, for information relating to hardware and software use.
- Engage in partisan political activities while on state time or use state funds, supplies, materials, equipment, vehicles or facilities for such purposes.
Conflicts of Interest
- You may not have a financial interest or engage in a business or professional activity that is in substantial conflict with the proper discharge of your duties as a public official or state employee, nor may you take any official action in connection with a matter in relation to which you have a substantial conflict.
- You may not accept any other employment that will impair the independence of your judgment in carrying out your official duties or induce you to disclose confidential information acquired by you in the course of performing your official duties. Accordingly, you should never accept employment with any consultant, contractor, appraiser or any other organization or individual that has a contract or other agreement with the Connecticut State University System or any System university without full exploration of any potential conflicts of interest.
- In accordance with the "CSU Policy Regarding Nepotism in Employment," you should not play any role in hiring, promotion, demotion, or other personnel action affecting your relative (defined to include your father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, first cousin, nephew, niece, wife, husband, domestic partner, grandmother, grandfather, grandson, granddaughter, father-in-law, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother, stepsister, half-brother or half-sister), nor should you take any action, directly or indirectly, to coerce, command, or require a state employee to improperly obtain an appointment for any individual to a position in state service. You should be aware that your signing of certain documents may result in a violation of the State Code of Ethics if such action results in a financial benefit being received by a relative. Examples of such documents include personnel forms (including performance appraisals) and vouchers. Caution should be exercised, so that unintended violations do not occur.
- You may not disclose, for financial gain, confidential information acquired by you in the course of performing your official duties or use such information to obtain financial gain for yourself, your spouse, your child, your child's spouse, your parent, your sibling or for a business with which you are associated.
- You may not solicit or accept anything of value (including a gift, loan or promise of future employment) based on an understanding that your official action will be influenced thereby.
Procedure Governing Conflicts of Interest
If, in the discharge of your duties, you are required to take any action that would present either a substantial or potential conflict of interest, you must prepare a written statement, signed under penalty of false statement, describing the matter requiring action and the nature of the conflict and deliver a copy of the statement to your immediate superior, who will assign the matter to another employee, or, if you have no immediate superior, you shall take such steps as the Office of State Ethics shall prescribe or advise. You may not take any official action whatsoever on a matter with which you have a substantial conflict of interest.
With regard to members of the Board of Trustees, the Chairman of the Board shall determine whether a trustee with a substantial or potential conflict may simply recuse him or herself from the proceeding in question, or if reassignment to another committee is necessary. If the Chairman is personally faced with such a conflict, he or she should deliver a written statement to the Office of State Ethics for guidance as to how to proceed.
Post-Employment Activities
The Code of Ethics for Public Officials contains several provisions regarding post-state employment. Before leaving employment with the System, all employees should review the applicable rules and, if necessary, seek guidance from the Office of State Ethics. Once you have separated from state service, you may not:
- Disclose or use confidential information acquired in the course of and by reason of your official duties for financial gain for yourself or any other person. This is a lifetime prohibition. "Confidential information" is any information not generally available to the public, and may be memorialized in any form (e.g., written, photographic, tape recorded, etc.).
- Represent any person in connection with any matter: (i) in which participated, personally and substantially, while in state service; and (ii) in which the state has a substantial interest.
- For a period of one year after leaving state service, represent anyone before your former agency, for compensation.
- Accept employment with any person (including an individual, sole proprietorship, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association or any other organization or group of persons) who was a party to a contract or agreement: (i) valued at an amount of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) or more; and (ii) in the negotiation or award of which you substantially participated, for a period of one year after resigning from state service, if your resignation occurs less than one year after the contract or agreement was signed.
Code of Ethics for Public Officials
The Code of Ethics for Public Officials is set forth in Chapter 10 of the Connecticut General Statutes. Should you have a question regarding whether certain conduct constitutes a violation of the Code of Ethics, you should consult with your immediate supervisor, the Ethics Officer at your institution, or the Office of State Ethics. The Office of State Ethics is located at 18-20 Trinity Street, Suite 205, Hartford, Connecticut 06106-1660. The Office of State Ethics may be contacted by telephone at (860) 566-4472, by facsimile at (860) 566-3806, and by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. The Office of State Ethics maintains a website at http://www.ct.gov/ethics.
Review by Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees
In accordance with its Charter, the Audit Committee of the Connecticut State University System Board of Trustees will periodically review the administration of the conflict of interest provisions set forth herein as well as the performance of Connecticut State University System management and operating personnel under the Code of Ethics for Public Officials. The Connecticut State University System Ethics Officer will apprise the Audit Committee of issues arising under this Statement, including, to the extent permitted by law, those matters reported to the Office of State Ethics.

Evacuate: Why a Reckless TV Weatherman Will Get Someone Killed One Day
In the past year, two high-profile television meteorologists have told people to evacuate from the relative safety of their homes to get out of the way of an oncoming tornado. That is the worst thing you could do, and this dangerous advice will get people killed one day.
The first of the two cases got the most attention for its boneheadedness. Last year during the infamous El Reno, Oklahoma tornado, KFOR-TV meteorologist Mike Morgan caught hell from both viewers and fellow meteorologists alike for urging people to flee the Oklahoma City metro area ahead of the storm. The tornado was the largest ever recorded — 2.6 miles at its widest — and a mobile Doppler radar measured winds of around 300 MPH (well above EF-5 strength and just shy of the strongest ever recorded).
Watching this record-breaking tornado scour the landscape towards Oklahoma City was unsettling for anyone keeping track of the situation, but especially so for the folks who actually live there.
When a major disaster is unfolding, one of the worst things one can do is panic. Television meteorologists in particular are expected to keep their composure and provide pointed but level-headed information to the public to keep them safe. But as the storm ripped through El Reno, Morgan started to...well, panic.
In the middle of his tornado coverage, Morgan started to tell people to leave and drive south to get away from the tornado.
It is still on the ground on the south side of I-40 right now. Go south. Get on down here towards west Moore somewhere down here, this is safe down here. Get down way down here, down by Newcastle. Take I-44. Get to Newcastle. If you get down here you're gonna be safe. It's on the interstate right now.
There were two huge problems with this:
- Thousands upon thousands of people decided to evacuate — though it's unknown how many left at the behest of Morgan — and head south out of the OKC metro. This caused traffic jams on every major artery out of the metro that were dozens of miles long.
- As it moved through El Reno towards OKC, the tornado was moving east. The tornado's movement was erratic to begin with, and the storm ultimately changed course and started moving southeast directly towards the people who were trying to get away from it.
Thankfully the worst tornado lifted before moving into densely populated areas, but the storm continued to produce extreme winds (up to 90 MPH) and two weaker tornadoes in Oklahoma City proper. If the storm had produced a tornado that moved over the gridlocked highways, the death toll could have reached the hundreds.
[There was a video here]
The second case received less press, and the only mentions of the incident were by hardcore weather enthusiasts who happened to watch TWC at that moment. Last week on June 17, a powerful supercell produced four violent EF-4 tornadoes across northeastern Nebraska, two of which were the "twin tornadoes" that hit the small town of Pilger. After hitting Pilger, the supercell continued to rotate as it headed straight for Sioux City, Iowa.
During The Weather Channel's live coverage of the event, meteorologist Paul Goodloe suggested that people get in their cars and drive away from the storm in an attempt to avoid the tornado threat.
You have another half hour to make your evacuation plans. If you can, evacuate. Go north or go south or go...uh, but whatever you do, do not go west or southwest. That is deeper into the rain and the hailcore of this storm as well and eventually the possible tornado. And again, this cell has produced at least three tornadoes.
A tornado was indeed reported just southwest of Sioux City, and numerous reports of 60-70 MPH winds and hail up to the size of ping pong balls occurred on/near I-29, which is the main north-south artery through the city.
To be fair to Paul Goodloe, however, he's built a reputation as a trusted meteorologist at The Weather Channel for decades, and this was likely an isolated case of foot-in-mouth disease rather than a pattern of reckless advice.
Regardless, television meteorologists need to be careful what they tell the public. Attempting to flee a tornado by vehicle is a death sentence if you drive into the storm or it changes direction and hits you.
Evacuations are synonymous with some of the worst disasters nature can throw at us. Coastal residents are told to get out when hurricanes loom offshore. No fewer than three or four towns per year have to evacuate because of an out-of-control wildfire. Flooding along the Mississippi is lethal for folks on the flood plain unless they leave in a hurry.
For all of these disasters for which people have to leave their homes, there is one where you are almost always safer at home than trying to flee: tornadoes. There are several problems with trying to flee ahead of a tornado. The first is that tornadoes happen with relatively little notice. Barring a surprise change in track, we can see a hurricane coming up to 5 days in advance. Most floods happen slow enough to safely get up and leave before it threatens. However, the most notice residents have of an impending tornado is usually about 45 minutes, often much less — the average tornado warning lead time (the time between the tornado warning's issuance and the time the tornado hits) is 13 minutes.
13 minutes is not much, especially when that's the average lead time. When a storm is moving at 55 MPH and you get a warning 10 minutes in advance, you are not going to be able to hop in your car and outrun it. I can visualize the comments now ("yeah your stupid i can outrun it easy"), but it's one of those situations where you drastically overestimate your abilities and only find out when it's too late.
The second reason is the most important, and it's that tornadoes mangle the hell out of cars. The photo at the top of this post was a vehicle destroyed by the May 3, 1999 F5 tornado that tore through the Oklahoma City area; the storm was for decades (until Joplin) the standard by which all destructive tornadoes were measured.
Even weak tornadoes are lethal to the occupants of a vehicle. The image to the left of this paragraph is from an EF-1 tornado that hit Fort Benning, Georgia back on April 16, 2011. If people were in the car when the tornado hit, they likely would have been seriously injured or even killed by the impact and/or flying debris. Almost all of the deaths that occurred during the tornado in El Reno occurred in vehicles. One of the most well-respected and experienced tornado chasers in the country, Tim Samaras, was killed by that storm when it suddenly changed course and struck the vehicle in which they were riding.
The Weather Channel's tornado chase team, led by on-camera meteorologist Mike Bettes, was thrown hundreds of feet off the road by that same tornado and it smashed their SUV like a pancake in the process. The team sustained injuries but everyone was able to walk away from the vehicle. It could have (and should have, given the intensity of the tornado and damage to the vehicle) been much worse.
If you ever find yourself in a situation where you have to take shelter from a tornado, staying inside is almost always your best bet. Stay on the lowest level of the building (basement is best, but first floor works) and get low in an interior room such as a closet or bathroom. Put as many walls between you and the outside as possible.
The only time that it is okay and recommended to leave a building to evacuate to the nearest sturdy building is if you live in a mobile or manufactured home. They are often not tied down properly and can sustain damage in even modest windstorms.
If you find yourself in a vehicle and a tornado is bearing down on your location, and you cannot get to a sturdy building, drive perpendicular to the tornado's motion. If the tornado is heading north, try to drive east. Never under any circumstances seek shelter under a bridge, as they offer absolutely no protection from a tornado's winds.
If you are a television meteorologist, please be careful of what you say on the air. You have a lot of influence over your viewers, especially during emergencies. Your job is to provide them with information they can use effectively to stay safe. If you can't resist giving viewers bad and potentially life-threatening advice during a disaster, it's time to find a new profession.

Queen of the World
- This event has passed.
Robert Hardman
As well as being the most famous woman in the world, Elizabeth II is also one of the most respected world leaders of our age. It's not just about longevity. It's about leading by example for longer than most of the human race has been alive. When Barack Obama sought to sum up greatness in our times, he picked two examples: the Queen and Nelson Mandela, two titans who 'find no need to posture or traffic in what's popular'. As it happens, his two examples would become firm friends and allies. What Obama touched on, and what those closest to the Queen understand, is that what might look like an exercise in pomp and majesty has actually been a struggle. It has been anything but easy – with scheming politicians, despots, grave crises and very considerable dangers throwing up challenges and obstacles through nearly seven decades. Yet Elizabeth II has made her mark far beyond her own realms and far beyond the Commonwealth many regard as her greatest achievement. With extensive access to the inner royal circle for his new book, the veteran royal commentator, Robert Hardman explains why millions of people who have never met her – and even those who owe her no allegiance – still regard her, quite simply, as Queen of the World.

RPI - 83, Farmingdale State - 79
Amherst, Mass. - In the consolation game of the 2013 Amherst Tip-Off, the Rams fell, 83-79, to RPI on Sunday afternoon. Farmingdale State dropped to 1-4 on the year, while the Engineers improved to 2-3.
Trailing 62-61 with 11:50 remaining, a pair of layups and two free-throw's by RPI put the Engineers ahead five, 67-62. Junior guard Nicole Lanteri (Poughkeepsie, N.Y.) answered with a 3-pointer for the Rams to cut the deficit to two.
RPI extended their lead to 73-68 with 6:06 to play, before a 6-0 Farmingdale State run highlighted by back-to-back Nicky Young (Queens, N.Y.) layups gave the Rams a one point lead.
After a Young free-throw tied the game at 75-75, Ashley Clough (West Chesterfield, N.H.) connected on a 3 and Kristen Van Gilst (Harwinton, Conn.) hit a jump shot to give RPI a five point advantage with 1:26 remaining on the clock. Farmingdale State closed within two but fell, 83-79.
Young scored 21 points, had 15 rebounds, eight assists and seven steals, while junior guard Camille Romero (Queens, N.Y.) scored 18 points.
The Engineers were led by Clough and junior guard Amanda Lynch (Middletown, N.Y.) who each recorded double-doubles. Clough scored 19 points and had 11 rebounds, while Lynch had 15 points and 10 boards.

It's not often we link to Fedtech here on Infinite Loop, but this article on the National Forensic Science Technology Center and its techniques for educating forensic service providers is just begging for a link. And who I am to deny them that? The obligatory link comes courtesy of a segment near the end of the article where they mention that the NFSTC has formed a partnership with Apple to produce podcasts related to forensic training.
Specific levels of content deliverables — including text, audio, images and video — are based on device capabilities. The NFSTC team formats the content in several ways to address bandwidth demands and learning objectives.
NIJ Program Manager Paul Jones described the process of creating one of its first podcast series concerning the NIJ's Expert Systems Testbed Project.
We were able to capture the presentations in a digital format and produce draft versions during the two days of scheduled video production. The NFSTC also worked closely with the subject-matter expert during the video capture to incorporate new content and computer screen shots that were critical for the final version.
The article also mentions specific use of iQuiz, the 99 cent quiz game we mentioned back in April. Using Aspyr Media's iQuiz Maker, NFSTC can produce an interactive quiz with a fairly sophisticated selection of multiple choice and true/false questions. Apple has also produced a fairly exhaustive site detailing the steps for making your own quiz if you're interested.
I now leave you to direct any snide remarks about government spending and the current administration in the comments starting.....NOW!

The sight of a lone forward tirelessly tracking back and flinging himself into tackles to recover possession is a common one at the Pacaembu, Corinthians' home ground. Such endeavour invariably triggers the kind of communal roar usually reserved for celebrating goals, and has become a hallmark of a Timão side that has acquired a taste for success.
The club's loyal fans are only too happy to applaud their heroes whenever they tackle back or put in a sprint to cut off a pass and regain the ball, and are hoping to see a similar work-rate from the team in Sunday's FIFA Club World Cup Japan final against Chelsea.
It's been working well for us and we've got the quality to give as good as we get against Chelsea.
Head coach Tite has made that kind of commitment an integral part of his team's play, fusing it with their customary verve, a blend that can always be relied upon to push up the noise levels in the stands.
As Corinthians' record of conceding just four goals in 14 games en route to the 2012 Copa Libertadores title showed, that combination has become a clearly defined template. As far as O Timão are concerned, there is no such thing as a lost ball, only possession that can be won back, a show of faith that Al-Ahly had no answer to in Wednesday's semi-final.
"We know the [Club] World Cup is decided over two games," said defensive midfielder Ralf in an interview with FIFA.com. "We'd been dreaming about a place in the final but to get there we had to win our first match. We had to get back to that style of ours as quickly as possible. That's what The Professor [Tite] asked of us and we all accepted the challenge. And that's exactly what happened in the semi-final, as you could see in the first half."
Here, there and everywhere
Coming from perhaps the most tenacious midfielder in the Brazilian game, those words are a little misleading. Corinthians had not really relinquished their distinctive game at all, their coach merely having decided to rotate his players in the second half of this year and keep them fresh for Japan 2012, which falls in the last month of the Brazilian season.
"That was the idea all along: to prepare the team for these two games," central defender Paulo Andre told FIFA.com. "We played really well in the first half [against Al-Ahly], but we could have done better in the second. I hope we can keep it going for the whole 90 minutes in the final."
That first-half performance against the experienced Egyptians was indeed impressive and showcased the spirit and work-rate of Os Alvinegros, who seemed to be everywhere as they harried their hard-pressed opponents, for whom possession was impossible to retain at times.
Content to sit on their lead, Corinthians slackened off after the restart, spending more time in their own half and allowing the African champions to push forward and exert some pressure. Yet as Ralf explained, there was no cause for concern: "That can happen when you're in front. You end up being a bit more careful, just to stop the other side scoring."
The Corinthians gameplan depends to a large extent on that defensive strength, on their ability to stand their ground and catch the opposition off guard with lightning breaks led by players with pace to burn and an eye only for goal.
While Tite may well make the odd adjustment in preparation for Sunday's meeting with the Blues, he is unlikely to make any drastic changes to their tactical set-up.
"We've got a settled formation," added Andre. "Obviously we might make a change or two to cater for the opposition, but we should be sticking to a four-man defence, with two holding midfielders, a line of three ahead of them and a lone striker up front. It's been working well for us and we've got the quality to give as good as we get against Chelsea."
With a massive contingent of Corinthians fans in town for the big game, Ralf, Andre and Co are hoping they can turn the International Stadium Yokohama into a giant Pacaembu on Sunday. Goals or no goals, the noise levels are sure to be high, especially when the Timão terriers start snapping into their tackles, putting the pristine surface to the test in their ongoing and passionate pursuit for possession.

Neal Bharadwaj founded a Fremont nonprofit organization to help local youth when he was just 15, but he shrugs off any praise about the accomplishment, saying he just was following the generous example his parents set.
"They taught us to give back, especially when there are so many people who could use the help," said Bharadwaj, now 24.
Nearly a decade later, he's still following his parents' model, and his organization, Matters of Community, is going strong. It provides music, art, theater and sports programs to improve the education of special needs children, including those with learning disorders, and physical and mental disabilities.
Bharadwaj got the idea in 2004 when — as a 10th-grader at Fremont's Washington High School — he was volunteering at Jeena, a Milpitas nonprofit dedicated to helping parents and children with developmental disorders. There, he was teaching students bhangra, a form of Indian folk dance, and, as they began performing together at Bay Area venues, he had a burst of inspiration.
"I saw how much the students wanted to be onstage; it was eye-opening for me," he said. "Special needs students often are put to the side and I saw how art can break those barriers for them. They can perform as well as anyone else."
Bharadwaj said he graduated two years ago from UC Merced with a bachelor's degree in bioengineering and now works as a stem cell researcher at Stanford University School of Medicine. In spite of his busy schedule, he has continued to lead Matters of Community, helping Tri-City-area students by partnering with Jeena and other organizations, such as the Niles Canyon Challenger Little League and the Jazzinators, a Dixieland band consisting of Fremont Unified School District students.
The nonprofit also has contributed to the Blind Relief Association in New Delhi, India, by donating funds to help renovate its music facilities, said Bharadwaj, a Fremont resident.
The community has taken notice. Matters of Community recently was nominated in the best nonprofit category of the Silicon Valley Awards, a first-of-its-kind ceremony held in November to honor local businesses and charities.
To help the charity continue its good work, Bharadwaj has scheduled a dinner dance Saturday to raise funds for its programs. The fundraiser will begin at 7 p.m. Saturday at Golden Peacock Banquet Hall, at 24989 Santa Clara St. in Hayward. For more information, go to http://mattersofcommunity.org.

[Visit RoadToIndy.Info for a full overview of the Road to Indy Presented by Cooper Tires.]
What do Helio Castroneves, Scott Dixon, James Hinchcliffe, Tony Kanaan, Charlie Kimball, Josef Newgarden, Gabby Chaves and Spencer Pigot have in common? All are graduates of series comprising the Road to Indy Presented by Cooper Tires – one of the most successful driver development programs in the world, providing a unique, scholarship-funded path to reach the NTT IndyCar Series and Indianapolis 500.
Since its launch in 2010, the Road to Indy ladder system has attracted competitors from around the globe. Drivers from Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Finland, France, Ireland, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Philippines, Spain, United Kingdom, Venezuela and Zimbabwe have been part of the grids, showcasing their talents at premier venues on a mix of road courses, temporary street circuits and ovals.
From "The World's Fastest Spring Break Party" in St. Petersburg, Fla., to the famed Brickyard – the Indianapolis Motor Speedway – drivers compete on the NTT IndyCar Series stage in front of large crowds and television cameras as well as team owners, sponsors and media.
Sanctioned by INDYCAR, the Road to Indy provides drivers, teams and sponsors an opportunity to gain valuable experience on and off the track while following a clear-cut path of progression through three development series: the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship, the Indy Pro 2000 Championship Presented by Cooper Tires and Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires.
Spencer Pigot, 25, exemplifies the success of the Road to Indy platform.
Pigot, who began karting at age 9, made the move into car racing in 2009, winning the Skip Barber Shoot-Out Top Scholarship Award and a season of competition in the 2010 BFGoodrich/Skip Barber National Series Presented by Mazda as an official Mazda Development driver. He claimed the title as a rookie to secure another Mazda scholarship prize and ensure his graduation onto the first step of the Road to Indy, the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship, in 2011.
After consecutive runner-up finishes in the USF2000 title-chase, Pigot capped another two years in the Indy Pro 2000 Championship Presented by Cooper Tires by winning the crown and another scholarship prize in 2014 which enabled him to move on to Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires in 2015.
Pigot earned his fourth scholarship - a prize valued at $1M with a guaranteed three-race program in IndyCar including the Indianapolis 500 - by claiming the 2015 Indy Lights title and made his NTT IndyCar Series debut with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing and Ed Carpenter Racing in 2016. He now drives full-time for Ed Carpenter Racing.
"For so many years, there were too many options in junior formula racing and it was so tough for drivers coming up to make the right decision on where to run," said James Hinchcliffe, NTT IndyCar Series race winner, 2011 NTT IndyCar Series Rookie of the Year and Indy Lights/Indy Pro 2000 graduate.
"Now, not only is there a clearly defined path, but the Road to Indy has all the best series that lead so well into one another. All the cars are great learning tools to develop for the next step and now you'll see drivers arriving at each level a lot more prepared. It speaks volumes to INDYCAR's commitment to the long term health of open-wheel racing in North America that they have created this system."

A big cover letter template misconception is that the job seeker should not add anything or take away any section of the cover letter template. As said above the cover letter template is just a starting point to give you ideas on how to put a cover letter together. Also as stated above the prospective employer is looking for something fresh and unique when scanning a cover letter. Therefore feel free to add to and take away from what the cover letter template is showing you to make your cover letter fresh and unique.

Dan Bull, Amanda Palmer & El-P: A Big Week For Artists' Voices On Techdirt
from the change-of-pace dept
Today, instead of the usual community favorites post, we wanted to take the opportunity to highlight our own top picks for the week. It was an easy choice, because we love it when artists and creators visit the site to speak about their experiences, and this week we were lucky enough to have guest posts from three different musicians. They all had a lot of great stuff to say, and here are a few highlights.
The first came about as a result of my post on rapper/producer El-P's friendly message to fans who downloaded the early leak of his album. El-P joined the comments, then followed up with a guest post discussing his approach to the music industry, and his thoughts on the popular debates about it:
So how do I feel? What's the right way? Fuck if I know. But I'll adapt and I'll do it with respect and class and not kicking and screaming. There's a hell of a lot I could say about both sides of this particular subject, but honestly does it matter? You all have formed your opinions on it already and in the end people like me are still out here trying to make a living no matter what those opinions are... right, wrong or in-between.
Unfortunately the comment thread on that post was hijacked by one particularly obnoxious AC, but amidst the noise there was also a strong response from some community members who were grateful to El-P for sharing his frank and thoughtful opinion, just as we were.
Next, we got a visit from the one and only Amanda Fucking Palmer! Amidst all the excitement surrounding her Kickstarter project, Amanda deftly employed an allegory about bamboo to describe the campaign's massive success, and the many years of work that made it possible:
There's a great story about how bamboo grows. A farmer plants a bamboo shoot underground, and waters and tends it for about three years. Nothing grows that's visible, but the farmer trots out there, tending to this invisible thing with a certain amount of faith that things are going to work out. When the bamboo finally appears above ground, it can shoot up to thirty feet in a month. This is like my kickstarter campaign. The numbers aren't shocking to me, not at all. I set the goal for the kickstarter at $100,000 hoping we'd make it quickly, and hoping we'd surpass it by a long-shot.
Incidentally, as I pointed out on Twitter, Amanda Palmer is an anagram for A Mr. Panda Meal. Coincidence?
Last but not least, Dan Bull took a break from writing epic raps to write an epic post. After Dan successfully used the Pirate Bay and its Promo Bay program to get his new single on the charts, we wondered what he must think about his country's decision to censor the site. Now we have our answer: he thinks it was pretty damn ridiculous.
Now, thanks to the High Court ruling, no aspiring musician will be able to use The Promo Bay to gain exposure in the UK. Once again, the British Phonographic Industry is throttling any channel of distribution which doesn't allow them the cut to which they believe they are entitled. I'd like to see what the BPI's head, Geoff Taylor, has to say to George Barnett, the unsigned British songwriter whose fanbase skyrocketed after being featured on The Promo Bay. The only thing that the BPI has done for George is to entirely prohibit his primary means of exposure.
Of course, those aren't the only choice words Dan has for the BPI.
Big thanks to El-P, Amanda Palmer and Dan Bull for stopping by and sharing their thoughts! For some other creators featured on Techdirt this week (just not in person), check out game developer Stardock's Jon Shafer on building a loyal fan base, producer Swizz Beatz on embracing technology, My Bloody Valentine's Kevin Shields on a dispute with Sony, and author Paulo Coelho's stats on his $0.99 ebook sale.
