The second volume of Mark Twain's autobiography features nearly 700 pages of Twain's worldview. It's a blend of his trademark humor and dudgeon directed at the politicians and other luminaries of his day. Full of affection for the afflicted and scathing about those who afflict them, this new work, funded in part over half a century by the National Endowment for the Humanities, displays the unvarnished Twain.
Here's a taste of what he had to say:
On Theodore Roosevelt:
"I am not jesting, but am in deep earnest, when I give it as my opinion that our President is the representative American gentleman—of to-day. I think he is as distinctly and definitely the representative American gentleman of to-day as was Washington the representative American gentleman of his day. Roosevelt is the whole argument for and against, in his own person. He represents what the American gentleman ought not to be, and does it as clearly, intelligibly, and exhaustively as he represents what the American gentleman is. We are by long odds the most ill-mannered nation, civilized or savage, that exists on the planet to-day, and our President stands for us like a colossal monument visible from all the ends of the earth."
On belief:
"There isn't anything so grotesque or so incredible that the average human being can't believe it."
On a fondly remembered steamboat:
"When she was on a voyage there was nothing in her to suggest a steamboat. One didn't seem to be on board a steamboat at all. He was floating around on a farm. Nothing in this world pleasanter than this can be imagined."
On humor and preaching:
"Humor must not professedly teach, it must not professedly preach; but it must
do both if it would live forever. By forever, I mean thirty years. With all its preaching
it is not likely to outlive so long a term as that. The very things it preaches about, and
which are novelties when it preaches about them, can cease to be novelties and become
commonplaces in thirty years."
What he sees when he closes his eyes:
"Although I can neither draw nor paint, my mind often draws and paints the most exquisite and the most faultless faces—faces of strangers always—when I am almost asleep but yet dimly conscious of my surroundings. These faces are very small. In size and quality they are like the old-fashioned ivory miniatures; like, but not just like, for they are much more dainty and charming and beautiful than any ivory miniatures that I have ever seen; by contrast with them the ivory miniature is coarse and unspiritual."
On anti-Semitism:
"I have no prejudices against Jews. I have nothing that resembles a prejudice against Jews. To me, Jews are just merely human beings, and to my mind the difference between one human being and another is not a matter of the slightest consequence. As between a crocodile and an alligator there is no real choice, to my mind, therefore why should there be a choice between Jew and Christian—or between anybody and anybody else? To be a human being of any kind is a hard enough lot, and unpleasant and disreputable in the best of circumstances."
On Bret Harte:
"He was a man without a country; no, not man—man is too strong a term: he was an invertebrate without a country. He hadn't any more passion for his country than an oyster has for its bed; in fact not so much, and I apologize to the oyster."
Why he presumes to speak so authoritatively:
"The last quarter of a century of my life has been pretty constantly and faithfully devoted to the study of the human race—that is to say, the study of myself, for, in my individual person, I am the entire human race compacted."

On the cusp of 2013, I've invited 11 of the greater Houston area's top minds to write about something they believe, but cannot prove. A new entry in the 11 for '13 series will be published each morning during the holidays.
Today's mini essay comes from Bhaskar Dutta, and David Toback, physicists at Texas A&M University…
For nearly a century, astronomers have studied a mysterious substance that appears to fill our universe and that we ignorantly refer to as dark matter. One of the reasons we believe this substance exists is that when we study galaxies, the stars in the galaxies move as if only ~10% of the mass in the galaxy is located in the stars. Indeed, the name "dark matter" reflects our belief that this matter exists, but we can't see it.
For more than a century, particle physicists have shown that the things we know and love, like the Earth, the Sun, and your body, are made of atoms which are, in turn, made of fundamental particles known as electrons and quarks (protons and neutrons are made of both up and down quarks). Discoveries of the top quark at Fermilab (in the mid 1990s) and the Higgs Boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) earlier this year have strengthened our belief that there are undiscovered particles out there to be discovered, and that the dark matter out there may just be vast quantities of what we call dark matter particles.
Cosmologists, who study the origin and evolution of our universe, believe that these dark matter particles, like the quarks and electrons in our bodies, must have been created at some point in the history of our universe. If the Big Bang Theory is correct, the cold, vast place our universe is today must have started as a tiny and very hot place more than 13 billion years ago with lots of fundamental particles bashing into each other. The dark matter particles would have been produced in these high-energy collisions a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang, and they are still around today making galaxies spin.
Many of us believe that the high-energy collisions at the LHC, which recreate the conditions right after the Big Bang, will create dark matter particles that can then be observed in our giant particle detectors if we know exactly how to look. Because knowing where to look and actually doing the looking is a monumental task, astronomers, particle physicists and cosmologists have come together recently at the Mitchell Institute for Fundamental Physics and Astronomy at Texas A&M University to help focus the efforts. We may well be on the verge of solving the "dark matter in our universe" question, one of the greatest mysteries in all of science.

Jimmy Beans Wool could serve as a model for the kind of business northern Nevada has spent decades trying to attract.
It's a fast growing ecommerce start up, begun by a former Bay Area couple, attracted by the area's status as a distribution hub.
There's a small retail shop up front at its warehouse location at East McCarran and Capital Boulevard, but most of the business takes place out back where orders come in from all over by phone and by internet and are shipped out, 500 or more orders a day.
The business has grown in a few short years to $6 million dollars a year in revenue, now employing 35 and no end in sight. A big factor in that success story is, apparently, the postal distribution center.
"They have made such a huge difference," says Jimmy Beans' CEO, "in the speed of our packages getting to customers to the happiness of our customers to pricing to everything."
Zander says ninety percent of the orders that leave her shop are shipped through the postal service which she says, and this may surprise many, gives her customers faster, cheaper service, which is why she spends a half million dollars a year at the post office.
"A customer on the east coast can place an order at 2 p.m. on a Saturday. We can ship later that afternoon and they have it Monday. It makes us look like rock stars."
If the center closes, she'll have to turn to UPS or FedEx. Higher shipping costs and, given their more limited business hours, she says, that customer may have to wait a day or more for delivery.
Having the distribution center here, she says, has been a competitive advantage that's allowed her business to grow. Making the postal service less competitive, changes that equation.
"It gives us a competitive advantage that without it, there's no compelling reason to stay here," she says. "One of the draws of Reno as a town, which I agree with, is that it's a distribution center, a distribution hub and it doesn't make sense to me to pull one of the legs of distribution, one of the shipping legs out from under us."

Head Back to School with the very latest devices & then grab an exclusive Funko Pop Game of Thrones Night King!
I got a spam SMS from 31850 asking me to sign up for some quiz, I just ignored it, I've always heard not to reply 'STOP' to spamers because then they know your number is real and being spammers they don't care what you reply. I've seen messages on this board where people reply 'STOP' and it does no good.
Anyway, I just got my bill and AT&T let this "third party" (it's in quotes because they have to be in cahoots with at&t for this to happen) charge me $9.99 for their subscription. I don't have time to deal with it now but I'll probably have to take time out of my day monday call At&t.
I usually don't get upset over stuff but I can't believe that AT&T lets someone sign me up for a $9.99 a month charge without consent, without a password or pin or an email or anything.
By the way, you are all now signed up for my subscription service. Please read this sentence to confirm.

Another victim am I. I don't care how big this company is, they do not have to right to charge me for something they have absolutely no proof I authorized. The onus is on THEM to prove this was authorized by me. How many times I heard today "....third party vendor....blah, blah, blah." "......third party vendor....blah, blah, blah."
It is not this third party vendor who billed me, it was AT&T. My bill shows the contact for this service is: www.att.com/mobilepurchases. The bill shows it is a month AT&T Monthly Subscription charge. It does not say it is a third party vendor charge subscription.
When did AT&T become an emiment domain service?

I understand your frustration and I'm sorry that you were billed by a third party without your authorization.

{keep it courteous} at&t's practice of permitting 3rd parties to bill us consumers is wrong. Why do you defend it?
When there are thousands of people who all see subscriptions for $9.99 or $19.99 or whatever without knowledge of this, and who did not sign up for these scams, there's something wrong.
I'm sure at&t is making money off this disgusting scam. That's why they permit it.
Whether people are unintentionally clicking a link or not, it doesn't matter. What matters is it's happening to thousands of people and at&t knows it and let's it happen. And for many years now.
You know it's wrong so quit defending this practice. Scum will not prevail.
FIrst of all, what happened to jorn_k comment? I thought that was a fair comment and should not be censored.
Secondly, I do appreciate that you left my comment in, albeit I got the {keep it courteous} stamp.
So now that I've resolved this issue again with at&t by calling them and asking for $9.99 credit and placing blocks on all 10 of my lines, I would like to ask a question.
Why does this 3rd party billing practice still exist after many years of complaints, and at&t telling customers it's fraud, spam, and immediately owning up to it by crediting the charges back, and placing blocks to prevent this from happening again.
Doesn't the practice of billing your customers for random and deceitful charges give at&t a bad name? Why does at&t continue to support this practice? Just google "at&t subscription scam" and see the 7.3 Million results returned.
I'd love to hear why this keeps going on.

There are many 3rd party companies who provide services people like. Unfortunately, there are bad apples in that group and AT&T is actively working to remove them.
Your help in doing so by reporting spam text messages is very appreciated.
Thanks for the response jamileh.
Back to the subject. Do you think it's a fair practice to text someone and say if you don't respond to this, you will be charged $9.99 per month. For many people, they just paid for a spam text, and then you expect them to pay for another text by replying STOP.
This is like me walking up to a girl in a bar and telling her that I will grope you unless you say stop in 10 seconds. If I grope her because she didn't say stop in 10 seconds,does that give me the right to do that? This at&t practice is backwards. Customers should only be charged for something they explicitly say yes to, not the other way around.
To clarify, reporting spam texts does not count against your texting package.
I agree that we need to get rid of these spammers and I understand the frustration around how the process works.
This thread is one I always keep an eye on because the more feedback I provide, the better equiped we are to make that a reality.

I see all these AT&T employees on here telling everyone that AT&T doesn't just bill without reason or justification or without we customers consenting or signing up for something. Yet, I just got off of an hour-long phone call with AT&T where I was told by both a rep and his supervisor that in fact AT&T DOES bill customers the minute a 3rd party bills them and they do not verify anything with the 3rd Party!
In fact, I was told that it's the customer's responsibility to dispute things and only then do they bother contacting the 3rd party.
So basically AT&T's official answer is that if someone says charge Customer-X they will and only if they don't manage to sneak it by the customer and that customer notices that AT&T and their cohorts are stealing from them will they bother to do anything.
Thanks, at least in most places when someone gives it to you up the rear they're nice enough to give a reach around!
[Edited to comply with Guidelines]
You are woefully misinformed. There are too many people who have complained about it and I am one of them. If I used my phone or even had cell service, that weak explaination MIGHT have been possible, but the phone sits in my car waiting for an emergency. I don't give the number out since I don't use it. So tell me how I could've authorized a subscription to a company that I've never heard of, to a phone I don't use, in a place where I don't have service.
If AT&T is getting paid for service then they need to live up to it. PROTECT YOUR CUSTOMERS!

YOU need to understand that you don't have to "AUTHORIZE IT" the spammers are just doing it for us. Get a clue!
Actually you are the one that is mis-informed - all of them bury a authorization to bill wording in their services. Normally in 2 or 3 pages of text that you need to scroll through. Sometimes it is set so that if you do not respond to the text you automaticly give them authorization to bill, in some case like on facebook there are "intelligence quizes" that you can take for fun, the text that majority of peope never read is that if you take the quiz and do not do something after to prevent the billing you will be billed a re-occurring charge for more quizes. The favorite ply is "Download FREE ringtone/wallpaper/music for your phone!!! What you don't see in the wall of text is the simple statement that goes something like this "By utilizing this download you agree to a monthly subscription charge to access the service"
In the end you are agreeing, you just don;t take the time to read or understand what they are telling you in the wall of text.
" if you do not respond to the text you automaticly give them authorization to bill"
This is the one that's complete FRAUD. I have been nailed by this one over and over again and at&t continues to permit it. Yes, they permit it and encourage it becuase they are paid commission.
If you have a cell phone that is barely used and get a text message that you don't know you got, at&t allows themself to then bill you.
This is illegal and at&t shouldbe held accountable.

really - they specificly state it in the text that you probably did not read - how exactly again is this Fraud? You can supply validated documentation that the carrier recieves "commision" or is it just an assumption on your part. Finnally, it is not illgeal unless you have some proof, it occurrs on all carriers, there is no law against it.
Bottom line - before you accept anything read it and understand it, if that does not happen there is only one party to put the blame on.
Want to stop it 100 percent - call ATT and ask them to put a purchase block on the phone, then there is very little that can be charged to your account

the 1940 census, that is.
So enough whining and pining for my ancestors. I have at least been able to spend a few hours of quality time with them since the 1940 census was released on 2 April.
My approach is to start with Texas counties where I know my parents' families lived, especially counties with smaller populations. Not all of them would be living there in 1940, of course, but I can probably count on quite a few of them still being there.
My father, his parents, and many of his siblings should be in Fannin County, though some of his older siblings might be in other Texas counties and even in other states. Other counties to check will be Collin, Hunt, and Grayson.
Many members of my mother's family, possibly including her and her first husband, may have started to move to California around this time; I am not really sure when the exodus from Texas started, but I would guess around the late 1930s or early 1940s, and I know that my older half-brother was born in California in 1945. However, I was pretty sure that there would be any number of relatives still living in Baylor, and on this score I was correct.
Using Steve Morse and Joel Weintraub's 1940 Census ED Finder page, I started at the beginning of the Enumeration Districts listed for Baylor County, 12-1. I made it through 30 of the 46 pages and did recognize many names of families that I knew when I lived there, but did not find any relatives. The second night I decided to search on the last ED listed (12-7), since the lower-numbered ones appeared to be for the town of Seymour and I knew that my relatives lived on farms outside of town.
Of the 26 pages for ED 12-7, I downloaded 10.
The first family I found were actually not direct relatives, but the family of my half-brother's grandfather, Officer Roberts. The other people shown in the household were one of Officer's daughters (my brother's aunt) and two grandsons whose parents (my brother's uncle and his wife) had died a few years previously. Officer was widowed by this time and would die not long after the census, and my mother and her husband would then take the two boys in.
The next family to be found were my mother's parents and her three youngest surviving siblings (the youngest sibling died in the early 1930s). I was surprised to see that my grandfather Kirby Moore was listed not as a farmer, but as a laborer for some kind of county project. It did not surprise me that my grandfather received schooling only through sixth grade, but it did surprise me that my grandmother finished high school (though it was reported that her father was anxious to see that his children received a good education, including music lessons, my grandmother was still a child when he died and the family fortunes may have suffered after his death).
Kirby and Eula Moore in 1940
Other finds were relatives of my mother's mother, several families who married into my mother's family, the family of the father of one of my friends, and the family of the stepfather of another of my friends (these last two were on the same page, which was only three pages from my grandparents - perhaps we were fated to be friends).
Not bad for a start. My next steps will be to finish browsing Baylor County, check the Lancaster area of Dallas County (where many of my mother's aunts, uncles, and cousins would probably still be living), and then go on to Fannin and nearby counties.
(And there has been other genealogy-related activity as well. A researcher with whom I have corresponded in the past sent me the link to a newspaper article on Chronicling America with a fabulous story about my great-great grandfather Spencer Moore - stay tuned!)

Pronounced: ah-KNEE-me-ah
by Krisha McCoy, MS
Anemia is a low level of healthy red blood cells (RBCs). RBCs carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. When red blood cells are low, the body does not get enough oxygen.
There are several specific types of anemia, including:
The main causes of anemia are:
Risk Factors
Anemia is more common in:
Factors that may increase your chances of anemia include:
Symptoms of anemia may include:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids, waste products and tissues may be tested. This can be done with:
Talk with your doctor about the best plan for you. Options include:
You may be told to make changes to your diet. The diet may include foods rich in iron, vitamin C, vitamin B12, and folate. Vitamins or iron supplements may be added.
To help treat your anemia or your symptoms, your doctor may prescribe:
Blood Transfusions
A blood transfusion delivers blood cells from healthy donor blood.
Bone Marrow or Stem Cell Transplant
This procedure places healthy bone marrow or stem cells in the body. The goal is for the new tissue to produce healthy blood cells. This procedure carries risk. It is only done in severe cases of anemia.
Critical bleeding may be treated with surgery. In cases of very high RBC destruction, your spleen may need to be surgically removed.
Most inherited forms of anemia cannot be prevented. The following steps may be taken to prevent certain types of anemia:

Check out the exciting new features in Adobe Presenter 8 Update!
Last month, we released a new update for Adobe Presenter 8. This release grants an early access to fantastic new features and is available only to customers on Adobe Software Assurance plans for Adobe Presenter and eLearning Suite (as well as customers on maintenance agreements and eLearning Suite 6/6.1 subscriptions.) For customers not on these plans, these new features are expected to also appear in the next full release of Presenter.
In the announcement post for Adobe Presenter 8 updates, Dr. Allen Partridge talked about some of the key features, like the new audio workflow, enhanced Adobe Presenter Mobile App, automatic closed captioning for Presenter Video Creator, Windows 8 and Microsoft Office 2013 support, and enhanced interactions library. Along with these key features, we also have some interesting new features added to Adobe Presenter 8, which are accessibility support, closed captions, direct option to hide playbar, and ability to add a title at the beginning of the videos created using Adobe Presenter Video Creator.
Let's talk about these features in detail:
Accessibility support: Adobe Presenter 8 now allows you to achieve 508-standard compliance and expand your outreach with significantly enhanced accessibility support for the learners. You can easily create courses that meet accessibility norms for defense, government, and educational organizations. Watch this short tutorial to learn more about it.
Closed Captions for Presenter 8 Courses: Now you can make your courses completely accessible by adding closed captions to your Presenter 8 courses. You just need to add the transcript in the notes section of the PowerPoint slides and Adobe Presenter 8 will automatically convert the notes to time-stamped captions. Check out this video to see it in action:
Direct option to hide the Playbar: When creating a branched course or an interactive screen, you sometimes need to hide the playbar to restrict the course navigation based on learner's interaction with the course. In the previous versions, it was tedious to do so. You were required to change some xml code; and being from an Instructional Design background, I know how much we hate to meddle with the code 😉
So the good news is that now we have a straightforward option to hide the playbar for some of the screens or for all the screens. Here's how you can do so:
Video Title: Last but not the least; you can now describe your video by adding a title or short description at the beginning of the video. Just go to the branding section and add the title, decide the placement of the title, and it will appear on the top of the Intro video.
Want to watch all Adobe Presenter 8 Update videos? Here you go…
These new options look really great, however as I don't have ASA and my company doesn't have the maintenance plan, it looks like we won't benefit. Thanks for the tease 🙁
I dont have the add title option in my branding options in presenter.. it is missing altogether, and I cannot find a way to make it so I can add a title to my videos….

On Thursday 19 October 2006, at 18.28 (Central European Summer Time) the European meteorological satellite MetOp was launched from Baikonur, Kazakhstan. MetOp A (Meteorological Operational Satellite) is now circling Earth in a polar orbit.
MetOp, from the European Space Agency (ESA) adds new developments to proven technologies, which make additional observation methods possible in high precision. The German Aerospace Center (DLR) has supported the MetOp series of satellites, amongst other ways by the development of innovative methods for data evaluation. MetOp opens a new era for the European meteorology - it will improve numerical weather forecasting in such a way that the reliable forecast period is increased from three to five days.
Weather forecasts can be improved by MetOp because it is not a geostationary satellite. Geostationary satellites, such as the European Meteosat, orbit the equator on a geostationary orbit at an altitude of 36 000 kilometres. This is too high to measure temperature and humidity properly. In addition, geostationary satellites do not permit views of the important weather conditions over the North and South Poles.
MetOp closes now this gap. It orbits at a height of 817 kilometres and this offers a clearly higher resolution. Also, its orbit is "Sun-synchronous" - i.e. the satellite passes its observation areas at approximately the same time each orbit.
MetOp is Europe's contribution to a joint project with the USA to operate polar satellites - the Initial Joint Polar System (IJPS). The idea was agreed upon at a summit in 1982. The technological development of MetOp began in the early 1990s with the close cooperation of ESA and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT).

This Week in Genea-Blogging
Can I redo my education?
At Climbing My Family Tree, Jenn describes how she is incorporating genealogy into her children's home schooling curriculum in "Genealogy for Kids: Family Tree Notebooking Page." And there is a bonus in the post - check it out! She follows this up with "Genealogy for Kids: Cemetery Scavenger Hunt."
A post that really struck home with me
Was Melissa Manon's "The Value of Cultural Knowledge" at ArchivesInfo. I love that she is teaching her daughter how to think critically and question information that is passed off as fact. This post made me reflect on how much knowing the cultural context has helped me in family history research and how much more cultural knowledge I have acquired through my research.
An outstanding angle on Independence Day
For the 4th of July Leah at Leah's Family Tree honors some of her "non-combatant" ancestors who did their part in making the United States of America great in "America in My Family Tree." A perceptive take on our celebration of independence.
A neat map
Presented by A Postcard a Day: "Curiously juxtaposed USA." Check it out; there are some really excellent town name juxtapositions! You will probably have to click on the map to be able to read the names - it's worth it.
A neat idea
Presented by Denise Barrett Oleson at Moultrie Creek Gazette: "Build an online family journal with Posterous." Denise makes an effective case that this is the perfect platform for the technologically-challenged, so I'm definitely interested!
For the rest of you Kentucky-heads out there
J. Mark Lowe has started a series on "Kentucky's Revolutionary Land Grants - Part 1" at Kentucky & Tennessee Stories. Map included.
A pro with wildcard searches
That's Lorine McGinnis Shulze at Ask Olive Tree Genealogy a Question. In "Hiding in Plain Sight," she outlines a case study demonstrating how she finally traced the family of an ancestor with a difficult-to-spell Eastern European name. Brava!
Why don't we have movies and shows like this already?
At The We Tree Genealogy Blog, Amy Coffin sends up both Hollywood and the genealogy community. And we are laughing hysterically. Read "If Genealogists Ran Hollywood."
What would you include on the list?
Another thought-provoking post from Marian at Roots and Rambles: "The Top 3 Changes in Genealogy." Agree/Disagree/Anything to add?
Effective message-boarding
Is described by Deb Ruth of Adventures in Genealogy in "Heard on the Message Board." She gives some tips for writing an effective query and lists some of the main genealogy message boards.
Last, but never least
Do NOT miss reading the entries for the 107th Carnival of Genealogy - The Seasons of Genealogy at West in New England, hosted by the inimitable Bill West. Outstanding!
For more suggested blog reading,
Check out "Follow Friday on a Saturday" at Cheryl Cayemberg's Have You Seen My Roots?, "Follow Friday: This Week's Favorite Finds" at Jenn's Climbing My Family Tree, "Follow Friday Gems" at Deb Ruth's Adventures in Genealogy, "Best of the Genea-Blogs" at Randy Seaver's Genea-Musings, "Week in Review" at John Newmark's TransylvanianDutch, and "Monday Morning Mentions" at Lynn Palermo's The Armchair Genealogist.
This Week I Started Following These Blogs:
365 Days of Genealogy
Greenealogist's Corner
Unsolved Histories: Adoption and Forensic Genealogy
Thank-You Corner
My thanks to Patti Browning of Consanguinity for leaving a comment on my "Seasons of Genealogy" post to let me know that if I do get to go to Dallas on a research trip I might want to visit the Southwest Branch of the National Archives over in Fort Worth! You bet I'd like to! Thank you for the information, Patti!
I'm very happy to see that one of my favorite bloggers has returned to posting: Amy at They that go down to the sea celebrates the 4th of July with one of the discoveries she made: "Independence Day and genealogy."
My Research Week
Since "What I Learned Wednesday" (which was yesterday, as I am writing this Thursday evening), there has actually been a little bit more research action.
1. I continue to eat crow concerning the usefulness of shaky leaves on Ancestry Public Member Trees (PMTs). Last night I decided to input a few relatives on the Matlock line, and for the Luney M. Goforth and Malvina Isabella Gracey family that leaf led me to the 1900 census, where I had not been able to find them before. They are listed there as Lemey M. Gofnok and Milvley I. Gofnok. Well, as if their names weren't already unusual. In turn, I found the oldest of the five children, Thurza, who I knew must exist from the 1910 census (5 living children). However, she wasn't on the 1910 census with the family, so I didn't know her name or whether she was a boy or a girl; I figured she was already out of the house. And, using her unusual first name and the birth states for her and her parents, I found her with her husband Doc Pitts on the 1910 census. So, I admit it, a shaky leaf helped. I don't think I would have found the Gofnoks without its help (though I have done some imaginative census searches in my day).
2. Blogger put me into the "new-new" Blogger in Draft today. I didn't like it, and actually could not navigate to it by selecting "New Post" or "Design." Turns out they have the URL scrambled, so I just unscrambled it and got into the new version of Blogger in Draft - which I didn't like. I like to think of myself as traditional, but you can call me primitive (I don't like New Search, either). So I unchecked the "Make Blogger in Draft my default" box. Still, there seem to be some scrambled posts with messed up pictures, which I have put back into draft form until I can fix them up. Bleghh.

With the recent opening of the Laurel Hill Wildlife Drive, visitors to the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge may notice dead fish floating in the water along a portion of the Wildlife Drive. Visitors should not be alarmed at this sight, as it is a naturally occurring event that often happens during the summer months. The fish kill at the refuge is due to a lack of oxygen in the water. For a dissolved oxygen or DO-related fish kill to occur, a combination of environmental conditions must be present. Hot weather, high water temperatures, shallow water depth, the amount and type of plant growth, and decay all play a role in the depletion of oxygen in the water at the refuge. All of these factors are contributing to the fish die-off.
Most DO-related fish kills occur in the warmer months, from May through September, when water temperatures are high and organic matter is decomposing in the shallow water. This decomposition uses the available oxygen, thus robbing it from the water. Once air and water temperatures decrease, refuge staff expect the fish kill to end. The dead fish being consumed by the alligators and birds will not cause harm to these species since it is not contaminant-related.
Savannah NWR is one of more than 550 national wildlife refuges located throughout the United States. The nearly 30,000-acre refuge is home to bald eagles, neo-tropical migratory songbirds, large concentrations of wading birds and wintering ducks, and American alligators. The Savannah NWR Visitor Center is open frin 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday–Saturday and is closed Sundays and all federal holidays.

NEWS - News of B'nai B'rith
B'nai B'rith International condemns in the strongest terms possible the July 18 terrorist attack on Israeli tourists in Bulgaria.
Early reports indicate at least five Israelis have been killed and almost 30 people have been rushed to the hospital, some in critical condition. The situation is still unfolding.
The bombing occurred on a tour bus near the Sarafovo Airport in Burgas, a Bulgarian city on the Black Sea. While it is unclear who the perpetrators are, Israeli leaders are suggesting Iran and Hezbollah may be behind the attacks.
B'nai B'rith urges Bulgarian and international agencies to work together to determine who was responsible for this attack that targeted Israelis.
The attack occurred on the 18th anniversary of the terrorist attack on the Argentine-Israelite Mutual Association Jewish center in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people and wounded 300.
This attack on Israelis, coming on the AMIA anniversary, is a chilling reminder that anti-Israel sentiment is alive and well worldwide. Our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and their families.

Best Charitable Gifts to Make in 2018
With the introduction of tax reform this year, you may be looking at your finances and wondering how you can continue to be charitable. There are many ways you can make a difference at St. Mary's University while enjoying financial benefits for yourself.
Here are some smart ways to give in 2018:
- Donate appreciated stock: With the stock market at or near all-time highs, give your appreciated stocks to a nonprofit like St. Mary's University and eliminate capital gains tax.
- Name us as a beneficiary of retirement plan assets: These assets remain taxable when distributed to a loved one but are tax-free when given to a nonprofit.
- Give from your IRA (if age 70½ or older): Regardless of whether you itemize your taxes, this gift helps you fulfill your required minimum distribution and is not considered taxable income.
- Gifts of real estate: Many real estate markets are enjoying gains. Appreciated real estate may be subject to capital gains tax unless donated to charity or transferred to a charitable trust.
Talk With Your Tax Professional
Please consult with your tax or financial advisors to determine the best charitable giving strategies for you.
We Can Help
We are so grateful for your generosity. Please contact Rick Kimbrough at firstname.lastname@example.com or 210-436-3138 to discuss how your gift can help further our mission.

Johns Hopkins University sophomore Ely Manstein wasn't sure what to make of the flier that Charlotte Zarzar handed him as he was walking along North Charles Street between classes Sept. 3.
Manstein, a biophysics major from Philadelphia, studied the card-shaped flier from the Baltimore Metropolitan Council, which is trying to raise public awareness of pedestrian and bicyclist safety as part of its annual Street Smart campaign. In bold letters and numbers, the card told a cautionary story of 32 pedestrians killed and 2,187 injured in traffic accidents in Baltimore from 2009 to 2011, according to three-year crash data by the city Department of Transportation and the Maryland Highway Safety Office.
Among the most accident-prone areas of the city, said Zarzar, a Street Smart representative, was in the vicinity of St. Paul and 33rd streets in Charles Village, within walking distance of Hopkins' Homewood campus.
"It's probably got a strong message," Manstein said, stuffing the card in his pants pocket. "But it doesn't really affect me."
What if he was hit by a car?
"Then it would affect me," he said.
Being hit by a car isn't all that Manstein and thousands of other Hopkins students have to worry about these days. They are also walking past temporary floodlights and generators that Hopkins has installed along the middle of North Charles, after four Hopkins students, all women, were robbed at gunpoint while walking on the street during move-in day at the university Aug. 28. Police believe the students were targeted for their cellphones.
The lights and generators sit in the middle of what is currently a construction zone, part of the North Charles Street Reconstruction project.
In a Sept. 4 email, Hopkins officials said temporary light towers and generators were placed on North Charles at University Parkway, 34th Street and 33rd Street, and floodlights were mounted on the construction fencing north of 34th Street. The lights are running continuously each day from 4 p.m. to 7 a.m.
"We are discussing more permanent solutions with Baltimore City in lieu of the temporary towers and generators," the email said. "Discussions include potential activation of new lighting and installation of supplemental fixtures on the existing temporary poles and increased wattages on temporary poles. The temporary towers and generators will be maintained until an adequate alternate solution is determined.
"In addition, we are asking that all JHU-associated properties along the Charles Street construction zone turn on any porch and outdoor lighting overnight in order to provide additional illumination to deter crime," the email said.
The email also addressed pedestrian safety concerns and new precautionary measures due to construction, including shifting, relocating and better delineating several crosswalks in the area.
Pedestrian safety has long been an issue at Hopkins, where student Nathan Kransnopoler was fatally struck by an 83-year-old motorist while bicycling on University Parkway in 2011 and student Miriam Frankl was killed by a drunk driver in the service drive in the 3300 block of St. Paul Street in 2009.
Almost exactly a year ago, Hopkins staged a display of 3,000 yellow shoes wedged in a chain-link fence at St. Paul and 33rd streets, to raise public awareness about pedestrian and cycling safety. Even as that campaign was under way, a car struck a pedestrian at Charles and 33rd, according to published reports.
Last week, it was the Baltimore Metropolitan Council spotlighting the issue in its annual traffic safety education campaign.
"I think it has an important message, especially as the school year starts for so many children and college students," Laura Van Wert, a council spokeswoman, said in an email.
"At some point in the day, everybody is a pedestrian, whether it's walking to school or from the car to the office," Larry Klimovitz, executive director of the council, said in a press release. "There needs to be an expectation of safety when we travel. Not just on highways, but the second we step outside, whether it's our front door or our car door."
The Street Smart campaign, launched in 2009 and funded by a grant from the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration's Highway Safety Office, is deploying "street teams" at 15 locations around the region in coming weeks, to distribute pedestrian and driver tips. Zarzar, who works for ITA Promotions, was one of four people who spent the day in Charles Village and worked St. Paul and Charles streets, wearing double-sided signs and handing out fliers, as well as reflectors commonly used by cyclists to make them visible to motorists at night.
Reaction, Zarzar said, has been mixed.
"Some people don't want to be bothered," she said. "Others read the card and say, 'Oh, wow.' Overall, it's positive."
According to the Baltimore Metropolitan Council, safety tips for drivers include stopping for pedestrians at crosswalks, not speeding, yielding to pedestrians and cyclists when turning, giving bicyclists a wide berth when passing them, and looking for children and other pedestrians when backing up.
The council recommends that pedestrians cross the street at marked crosswalks and intersections, look left and right before stepping into the street, obey traffic signals, make sure they can be seen after dark and in bad weather and look out for vehicles backing out of parking spaces and driveways.
Bicyclists also should obey all traffic signs and signals, never ride against traffic, use hand signals, ride to the right of traffic, wear helmets, and use front and rear lights when visibility is poor.

Tear Down: Scientific calculator boils design down to two ICs
While it's too big to fit in your pocket, the 35s follows in the tradition of a long series of handheld calculators.
Every once in a while, I come across a product where I say, I've got to take that apart. It's not the most scientific way of choosing products to feature in our popular Tear Down section, but it works for me. The subject if this month's Tear Down was actually sitting on another editor's desk, in his own Tear Down queue. Because of my "history" with this product, I quickly volunteered to write this story.
While not the sexiest consumer product out there, our engineering audience will likely see the appeal that HP's latest scientific calculator had for me. The 35s, which this new model is dubbed, is similar in many ways to the 15c I bought twenty-some-odd years ago when I entered engineering school (note that I paid about $125 for my 15c, while the 35s costs about $60). There's no doubt that the 15c was the premier calculator of its time. Just about everybody in engineering school seemed to have one. The 35s, shown in Figure 1, is the latest in a long line of scientific calculators from HP.
The 35s arrived in time for the 35th anniversary of HP's first scientific calculator. Hence, the "35" moniker.
I bet many of you are smiling to yourselves saying the same thing, "yeah, I bought one of those, too." But the kicker for me, and I'd bet for many of you, is that my 15c is still going strong. In fact, it still serves as my everyday calculator. And it doesn't get lost like many of the other objects on my desk, such as the tape dispenser, stapler, and scissors, thanks to its use of reverse Polish notation (RPN). My family members take the attitude that it's easier to find another calculator than to learn RPN. And that suits me just fine. The 35s can be used in either RPN or algebraic mode, although it defaults to RPN when you first turn it on.
Another reason I wanted to take the 35s apart was to see how the design had evolved over the years. While I wasn't willing to destroy my 15c for the sake of this article, I did get some good insight from Sam Kim, the director of product development for HP's calculator group. He claimed to be the force behind the 35s and went into the design thinking that he wasn't satisfied with the company's current line of calculators. Kim said, "I really wanted to design something for the old-time calculator user while also attracting new customers."

In reports made public about the infractions, the NCAA has stripped the records of all names including athletes, coaches and boosters. These violations resulted in penalties ranging from fines to erasing athletic records to probation. Ohio State has been found guilty of major infractions four times since the 1950s, but it had none in the past three years. Nineteen schools have clean records.

Anime Rec. For Kids?
I've been watching various series with my younger sisters and I'm at a loss as to what to show them next - maybe someone can give me a few ideas? It has to have a dubbed version as they're not quite mature enough to sit still for subtitles and nothing too explicit..
They loved Ouran High School Host Club, Card Captors, and Fruits Baskets.. I was thinking of Princess Tutu but I heard the dub ruined that one.. Any other suggestions?

Try these threads:
Angelic Layer and Chi are both good choices, and both are available for free at Crunchyroll, as are two other excellent options, Erin and Natsume Yuujinchou. Unfortunately they're only carried with subtitles. Angelic Layer is on DVD with dubs as well. Shows appropriate for kids often have pretty simple dialogue, though, so your sisters might be able to keep up with some of them.
Funimation streams a lot of its shows with dubs. Of those available, I'd recommend School Rumble.
I'd also strongly recommend Cross Game if you are willing to cope with fansubs. It's nearly complete, but there are already 45+ episodes available.

Princess Tutu is generally considered one of the better dubs at least in my experience among dub fans. It's probably the dub I've seen praised the most actually. At the very least the dubbed German is much better.
Some people do complain about how they translated Ahiru as Duck since it's a proper name but Ahiru isn't a real Japanese name anyway.(Translation convention suggests her "real" name would be Ente.)

Adventures of Mini-Goddess is a nice fun series. She may also watch Oh! My Goddess! the OVA first to know who the characters are, though it's not necessary.

@qwertyuiopz Azumanga Daioh! I forgot about that one. Kamichu looks great after I checked it out. I'm not sure about IGPX - don't know how they'll react to mecha. xD But, I'll try it. :'3
@jedinat Kaliedo Star looks cute and I'm pretty sure the youngest will like it - kinda sounds like Fancy Lala. I couldn't find any dub for Stellvie, which is a pity since it looks great. >: But Full Moon o Sagashite and Angelic Layer are definates. ^^
@SeijiSensei I'll have to try Chi with subs, it may work it out, but I'm not certain. If it does, though, I'll head right on to Cross Game and the others. :3 Romantic comedy seems awesome - they loved Ouran, after all, so School Rumble is on the list!
@Ash Falls Town Really? I'll have to look at them myself then - Princess Tutu was an awesome series. :'3 I'd love to show it to them.
@Kleo Scanti That seems like a cute series. :3 I was thinking of showing them the Ah! My Goddess! series anyway, actually. ^^

@bhl88 They already own Ponyo! ^^ The first two look like they don't have a dub, though, and I was hoping to show them something they didn't already watch on TV.. xD Thanks, though! :3
@ Guardian Enzo I think it is - I see an English casting for it, anyway. ^^ I don't know if it's out on dvd yet, but I'll look into it. :'3 Thanks~!

I wasn't quite sure of the age of your younger sisters, but assuming that they are closer to their tweens than the teens, how about one of my favored children's anime Mujin Wakusei Survive. A take-off on Swiss Family Robinson/Robinson Crusoe with a slight Lost-esque vibe, Survive is a fun kids series about several children in the future who, during a field trip in space, crash land on an uninhabited alien world, and must forage for food and create shelters in order to survive. It is not scary (well, maybe a little tense, but not really scary), and despite its 54 episode length, the series moves along at a nice pace. Good strong female characters also add to the value of this show. Sadly, no dub of the show exists, and probably never will. Still, I highly recommend this fun series.

No one wants to get sick from eating food that's been improperly handled or prepared. Understanding how to safely prepare, handle, and store food will protect you and your family from the risk of illness caused by eating food that has been contaminated by bacteria or other microorganismsotherwise known as microbial foodborne illness.
Every year, an estimated 76 million people in the U.S. become ill from harmful bacteria in food. Perhaps foodborne illness has affected you and you did not recognize the common symptoms, which may include an upset stomach, diarrhea, a fever, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and dehydration. It can also result in more severe illness, such as paralysis and meningitis, or even death.
Older adults are at higher risk, as are people with weakened immune systems. Individuals with certain chronic illnesses need to pay extra attention and carefully follow food safety advice.
There are simple steps that you and your family can take to avoid the risk of foodborne illness. Four words can help you remember them: Clean, Separate, Cook, and Chill. Use the temperature chart on the next page to help you keep food safe when you store it, thaw it, prepare it, cook it, serve it, and save leftovers.
Wash your hands thoroughly. When preparing, handling, and eating food, it is essential to wash hands often, particularly before and after preparing food and especially after handling raw meat, poultry, eggs, or seafood. Here's a way to effectively wash your hands:
Keep food contact surfaces clean. Clean kitchen counters and cutting boards where you prepare food after each use, and clean your refrigerator and freezer shelves regularly with soap and hot water. Regular cleaning protects these surfaces from contaminating food.
Wash fruits and vegetables. It is important to remove and discard outer leaves and wash fresh produce prior to cooking or eating. Rinse fruits and vegetables under clean, running water, scrub with a clean brush or hands, and dry using a clean, disposable cloth or towel. Drying is an important step, as excess moisture can help bacteria grow.
Meat and poultry should not be washed or rinsed. This creates the danger of cross-contamination, which means spreading bacteria to other food, utensils, or surfaces. Plus, it's not necessary because any bacteria present on the food will be destroyed by cooking to safe internal temperatures.
Separate raw, cooked, and ready-to-eat foods. When you're shopping, preparing, and storing food, don't cross-contaminate. Take advantage of the different sections and shelves of the refrigerator to keep raw, cooked, and ready-to-eat foods away from each other. Store raw meat, poultry, and seafood on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator or on a plate or tray, so their juices don't drip onto other foods. Always discard foods that will not be cooked if they have touched raw meat, poultry, seafood, or eggs.
Cook meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and leftover foods to safe internal temperatures. This is important because it kills microorganisms. The best way to tell if a food such as meat, poultry, or leftover food has been cooked to the proper temperature is to use a food thermometerthere are several types available in most grocery stores.
Do not eat raw (unpasteurized) milk or any products made from unpasteurized milk, raw or partially cooked eggs or foods containing raw eggs, raw or undercooked meat and poultry, unpasteurized juices, or raw sprouts because they may contain harmful bacteria. Older adults should be particularly careful to only eat certain deli meats and frankfurters that have been reheated to steaming hot.
Whole Poultry: 170 degrees Fahrenheit
Poultry Breasts: 180 degrees Fahrenheit
Stuffing, ground poultry, reheat leftovers: 165 degrees Fahrenheit
Meats (medium), egg dishes, pork, and ground meats: 160 degrees Fahrenheit
Beef steaks, roasts, veal, lamb (medium rare): 145 degrees Fahrenheit
Hold Hot Foods: 140 degrees Fahrenheit
Below 140 degrees Fahrenheit: Danger Zone
Refrigerator temperatures: 40 degrees Fahrenheit
Freezer temperatures: 0 degrees Fahrenheit
Chill perishable foods promptly and thaw foods properly. Did you know that bacteria grow most rapidly at the unsafe temperatures between 40°F and 140°F? To keep food out of this "danger zone," keep cold food 40°F or below, and hot food 140°F or above. Plan ahead to thaw foods. Never thaw food on the kitchen counter at room temperature. Instead, thaw by placing the food in the refrigerator, submerging air-tight packaged food in cold tap water and changing the water every 30 minutes so the food continues to thaw, or defrosting food on a plate in the microwave.
Handle leftovers safely. Refrigerate or chill leftover food within 2 hours. Reheat leftover food to the proper internal temperature before serving. Discard leftover food after 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator, even if it does not look or smell bad. "If in doubt, throw it out."
Make sure your refrigerator is set at 40°F or below, and the freezer is set at 0°F or below. You can check this with an appliance thermometer, sold at most grocery stores and kitchen specialty stores.
For more important information, visit www.fightbac.org.
If you think you or others became ill from eating the same food, please report this outbreak to your local (city, tribal, or county) health department. By investigating outbreaks, public health officials learn about problems in food production that lead to illness. Applying what is learned in the investigation of one outbreak can help to prevent many future illnesses.

Unified Computing and Data Center Evolution
Data center virtualization has created a market transition where IT organizations are trying to reduce costs and increase flexibility. Constantly working against inflexible existing hardware platforms, however, data center administrators must spend significant time on manual procedures for basic tasks instead of focusing on more strategic initiatives.
The Cisco Unified Computing System is a next-generation data center platform that:
- Unites computing, networking, storage access, and virtualization into a cohesive system
- Integrates a low-latency, lossless 10 Gb Ethernet unified network fabric with enterprise-class, x86-architecture servers
This approach decouples scale from complexity. Whether the system has 1 server or 320 servers with thousands of virtual machines, all resources participate in a unified management domain designed to:
- Reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) at the platform, site, and organizational levels
- Increase IT staff productivity and business agility through just-in-time provisioning and mobility support
The system incorporates:
- A standards-based unified network fabric supported by a partner ecosystem of industry leaders
- Cisco VN-Link virtualization support
- Cisco Extended Memory Technology
It supports an incremental deployment model and protects customer investments with a future migration path to unified computing.

ITEM 118-101-R0103 January 16-17, 2003
State statute says that "the governor shall appoint the student [regent] . . . based upon a nomination provided by a student organization designated by the board of regents." 2-15-1508(3)(b). The Montana Associated Students has generally been recognized as the appropriate group to make such nominations but the Regents have never implemented the statute by formally designating MAS. The following amendment corrects that oversight.
Policy 506.3 - Montana Associated Students
November 18, 1999; Issued December 10, 1999
Board policy:
1. The Montana Associated Students (MAS) of the Montana University System is a regularly constituted organization under the authority of the Board of Regents.
1. Composition
The Montana Associated Students shall be composed of fourteen voting members: the duly elected student body presidents (or their designees) of (a) the six four‑year postsecondary campuses of the Montana University System; (b) the five colleges of technology of the Montana University System; and (c) Dawson, Miles, and Flathead Valley Community Colleges.
2. Function
a. The Montana Associated Students shall establish its own procedures which shall be filed with the Commissioner of Higher Education.
b. The Montana Associated Students is the student organization designated by the Regents to provide nominations for student regent to the Governor as provided for in 2-15-1508(3)(b) MCA.

Keys man accused of taking bonnethead sharks
In a continuing crackdown on the illicit trade of marine life in the Keys, a Little Torch Key man has been charged with felony conspiracy for allegedly taking bonnethead sharks from the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary without a federal license.
If convicted of the federal charge accusing him of violating the Lacy Act, which bans trafficking in wildlife, Charles Jamison, 74, faces up to five years in prison, a fine up to $250,000 and forfeiture of his boat and related gear.
Bonnetheads grow three to fivefeet long and generally are considered timid. Some tropical-fish collectors want bonnetheads, part of the hammerhead family, for use in their aquariums. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami says juvenile bonnetheads have a market value of $350.
The feds say on or around Sept. 22, 2012, Jamison harvested two bonnetheads while aboard his 17-foot Mako. Three days later, he harvested three more from Lower Keys waters, they say.
According to the indictment, around Sept. 27 that year, "a co-conspirator known to the United States Attorney's Office" picked up four bonnetheads from Jamison's house and delivered the sharks to a commercial marine life facility on Big Pine Key.
The indictment says that on Nov. 2, 2012, Jamison was paid $440.50 for two bonnetheads. A week later, the "co-conspirator" negotiated with Jamison for the sale of four more to be sent to an Atlanta "customer." Then on Nov. 19 that year, Jamison was paid by the "co-conspirator" $1,344 for three bonnetheads.
The names of the co-conspirator and the Big Pine marine-life center aren't contained in the indictment, signed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Watts-Fitzgerald, who's prosecuted Keys marine-life cases in the past.
Jamison pleaded not guilty June 27.
The crackdown on illegally trading in Keys marine life became apparent in 2011, when federal authorities raided the former Key Marine on Grassy Key. Several people, either with or without connections to Key Marine, have been prosecuted since.
For example, a Romulus, Mich., man was sentenced in April to five months in federal custody after pleading guilty in connection with what the feds called Operation Rock Bottom. Joseph Franko, 35, admitted taking nurse sharks from the Keys and juvenile alligators from the Big Cypress National Preserve.
Also in April, Idaho Aquarium Inc. was fined $10,000 and ordered to pay $50,000 toward Keys marine restoration projects. Two of its former officers had tried to buy protected eagle rays and lemon sharks in a case linked to Key Marine.

Syrian Electronic Army 'Hack' Of The NYTimes Was The Exact Remedy MPAA Demanded With SOPA
from the and-it-was-a-joke deptThere were many, many concerns related to SOPA and PIPA when they were proposed, but the absolute biggest was the use of DNS blocking as a "remedy" against sites where it was alleged that infringement was a primary purpose. Of course, as tons of technology experts points out, any form of DNS filtering or redirecting would be a security nightmare and would do almost nothing to actually stop infringement.
As you may have heard, this week the Syrian Electronic Army was effectively able to "take down" nytimes.com by engaging in a bit of DNS hacking, which was really nothing more than a DNS redirect. As Rob Pegoraro points out, this is the same basic remedy that the MPAA wanted so badly with SOPA. In fact, during the negotiations over SOPA (after it became clear that its companion bill in the Senate, PIPA, was stalled over the DNS blocking issue), this was the issue the MPAA refused to budge over: DNS blocking/redirects needed to be in SOPA. As Pegoraro writes, if SOPA had become law, we likely would have seen the law abused to take down sites just as the Syrian Electronic Army took down nytimes.com:
2011's Stop Online Piracy Act would have let copyright holders require Internet providers to use DNS redirection to block access to allegedly infringing sites. That authority would inevitably have been abused in social-engineering exploits--and we'd likely see a lot more outages like the NYT's.At the same time, Ali Sternburg, over at the Disruptive Competition Project points out that this also shows just how laughably ineffective DNS blocking/redirecting would have been in SOPA (despite the MPAA's insistence that it was necessary), because it's so easy to get around and many, many people did. It may have been an inconvenience, but it was hardly the game changer the MPAA predicted.
If this sounds familiar to you, perhaps it's because Domain Name System (DNS) blocking was part of the original draft of SOPA. DNS blocking was suggested as a remedy to take entire allegedly infringing foreign websites down, but yesterday demonstrated that people can still navigate to sites through their IP address, even when domain name servers are offline. This is consistent with a major critique of the DNS blocking during the SOPA debate: that it wouldn't even work. Some SOPA supporters had argued in response that "it would be a mistake to assume, as some of these network engineers have, that the average Internet user has the above-average technical skills necessary to do this." But yet, people did yesterday.* If people want to access a website, they can figure it out pretty fast, and without needing any significant technological skills.So it's somewhat ineffective for blocking (though, very effective for drawing much more attention to what you want blocked). It was a dumb idea by the technologically illiterate folks at the MPAA to suggest a form of DNS hacking as any kind of remedy to copyright infringement, and the NY Times redirect hack just made that even clearer.
