It is a tragic fact that politicians are once again talking to themselves while commentators encourage them to do so. We have failed to inspire the public even to throw us out.My response:
The challenge after this election is not how to defeat UKIP. It is how to speak truthfully, hopefully and realistically to a population thoroughly disenchanted with the entire political system.
You're right that there has been a strong shift towards not voting; this has been developing over several General Elections and is symptomatic of a general mistrust of politicians. There is a cosy stalemate that has emerged between the media and senior politicians, whereby the media limit their questions to ones designed to catch politicians out and trip them into saying something that can be misinterpreted, and politicians avoid saying anything of any substance or meaning in reply. Both tendencies reinforce the other. Both lead to people switching off.
UKIP have succeeded in tapping into this and presenting themselves as a break from the old order. In that regard, by focusing on "gaffes" made by UKIP spokesmen or candidates, the traditional media have played into their hands by confirming that UKIP are not part of the club and that the Establishment is ganging up on them.
There are opportunities in this for the Conservatives, though. Labour have shown themselves to be a failure (I think it has been quoted that no opposition party has ever not won a Euro election until now?), so the clear focus must now be on UKIP. The question is, why have so many Conservative supporters left for UKIP? My suggestion would be that a general mistrust of Cameron, a feeling that when the day comes he will wriggle out of the referendum promise, and a feeling that he is a highly experienced politician and "one of them", are the main reasons.
To an extent, Cameron's shiftiness on policy has possibly been because he has been hamstrung by the constraints of coalition politics. But now, with the Liberals effectively dead in the water and the EU staring at a clear mandate for a British exit if current terms are maintained, he can afford to strike out, say what he thinks, and maybe even do it.
In his shoes, I would
(a) Describe the exact form of EU that he would wish to see. I for one don't actually know what that is.
(b) Set. A. Date. For. The. Referendum. Also, publish the question that will be set. That way, it might look as if he is committed to it.
(c) Go to Brussels and ask for his vision of Europe. Explain bluntly that they can say "no" if they wish but it appears that the UK will leave if they do so. Point out that there is now a hard, immovable deadline.
(d) Don't be afraid to tell interviewers they've asked a stupid question, or one based on a truckload of false assumptions. Stop being a Westminster pansy and speak up. Don't let them dictate the terms of the interview. The media are not your friends, stop treating them as such. Show a little steel.
I know of two Wycombe votes that may go back from UKIP to Conservative if this happens.

Pro tip: Don't tweet that you want weed delivered to you at work and then name your workplace and location. Because the cops will tweet back to you, the whole thing will go viral, you will be fired and mocked by the world.
Yes, this happened Tuesday. Allow us to break it down:
Twitter user @Sunith_DB8R, a Toronto auto garage worker tweets: "Any dealers in Vaughan wanna make a 20sac chop? Come to Keele/Langstaff Mr. Lube, need a spliff."
The York Regional Police give a cheery reply:
Awesome! Can we come too? MT @Sunith_DB8R Any dealers in Vaughan wanna make a 20sac chop? Come to Keele/Langstaff Mr. Lube, need a spliff.
— York Regional Police (@YRP) August 13, 2013
The cops' tweet gets retweeted (are you ready for this?) 5,500+ times.
Weed tweeter gets fired, and employer tweets about that:
@YRP Thank you to the York Regional Police for your help and great work. The matter has now been handled.
— Mr. Lube (@mrlube) August 14, 2013
Global News reporter Nicole Bogart writes about it.
Stoners, anti-stoners, police, oil-change guys and ordinary folks everywhere enjoy a laugh.

The race to create the most ridiculous eclipse map is on
By now, most of us have seen the map of the path for the Aug. 21 solar eclipse — that band of totality bisecting the United States from Oregon to South Carolina.
In the mapmaking community, however, one simple map of a super-hyped celestial event is not enough. What of other variables affecting the nation's eclipse-viewing pleasure? The odds of traffic ruining the experience, for example?
We're happy to say there's a map for that. As well as a map of Starbucks shops in the path of totality for those who need a caffeine fix before they don their safety sunglasses.
But that's just the beginning.
The eclipse map has triggered a spree of cartography oneupmanship, with each succeeding map vying to goofier than its predecessor. (A complete collection compiled by GIS coordinator Dan Harelb can be found here.)
Even NASA picked up the gauntlet. Joshua Stevens, data visualization analyst and cartographer for NASA's Earth Observatory, overlaid the eclipse map with Bigfoot sightings to produce the "Best spots to see the eclipse and Bigfoot ... at the same time."
It was all downhill after that, with aliens, waffle houses, cemeteries and even (shudder) Forrest Gump.

During my annual Farscape rewatch I was struck by the fact that although I had seen these episodes at least a dozen times already I still felt the same wonder and emotion as if I was watching it for the first time.
While the effects sometimes leave things to be desired I am constantly amazed by how great the practical effects are. The aliens actually look like aliens thanks to the amazing work of The Jim Henson Company. When Pilot shows emotion like awe or sadness I feel so much giddy delight. Though I know how the crazy plots are going to play out they still are so much fun to watch ("Crackers Don't Matter" is one of the wackiest episodes of television ever). Watching these characters grow again I always find little things I didn't notice before that make it worthwhile again.
And most importantly I still get all the feels when the show demands it. Character deaths I knew were coming or just plain depressing emotional episodes still hit me. I'm currently on season three (aptly nicknamed the season of death) and while I know how dark its going to get I cannot wait to experience it all again.
So what are your go to shows that you can relive over and over like it was new?

By Dan Rhodenizer aka 123Dan123
The good: Unique score; does a good job of setting up suspenseful scenes throughout the movie; sets the mood very well; cool sound effects and tunes.
The bad: Not enough memorable songs on the soundtrack; the score doesn't set much of a theme.
Harry Gregson-Williams has scored two films for director Joel Schumacher before doing The Number 23. These first two scores were Phone Booth and Veronica Guerin. These first two scores were different though. Phone Booth was mainly an electronic score, and Veronica Guerin was more of a beautiful score that wasn't electronic. The Number 23 is actually a mix of both, but leans more towards the electronic side. The "Opening Titles" set the feeling for the entire score and shows what two main instruments that will be used; an electric cello and a electric violin. This is all followed with a string orchestra, a trumpet processed to sound like a saxophone and electronic drums that were very well done. The second part of the score is more melodic and romantic-like and tones down a bit on the cello and violin.
The last two tracks (Room 23 and Atonement) are more melodic and make more use of the strings. There are some reoccurring bits that were heard in some of the previous tracks, which is backed by an alternate horn. Then later woodwinds come into the mix. The last 2 tracks combine at around 11 minutes and makes for some pleasant listening.

The score for The Number 23 is a pretty unique one. It does a good job of setting up suspenseful scenes throughout the movie and it sets the mood very well with some cool sound effects and tunes. But the downfall is that there are not enough memorable songs on the soundtrack that can be enjoyed listening to. The score doesn't set much of a theme, however there are reoccurring bits, such as some string phrases.
Fans of Gregson-Williams' other thriller scores will enjoy this album for it's different musical sounds, but people looking for a melodic soundtrack should pass this one by.

Dakota Wood found herself a new feathered friend at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
A playful horned puffin bird displayed a strong affinity for the 9-year-old girl during a recent visit to his tank, mirroring her moves for nearly a minute as she ran alongside the glass.
"I just went to the edge of the tank and he decided to follow me," Dakota said.
Her mother seized the moment and captured the precious seconds on video, which she later uploaded to YouTube. The video of the aquatic bird swimming alongside the girl had received more than 21,000 views as of Friday morning.
"I think it's the animal interacting so closely with humans," said Dakota's mother, Bobbi Jo Wood. "There are so many people who would love to have an experience like that. And it's just amazing cause it doesn't happen. You don't see that very often."
The budding friendship was cut short when Wood told Dakota it was time to move on. Still, both mother and daughter are glad to have the video to remind them of the funny encounter.
"He was just enamored with her," Wood said. "It makes me smile every time I watch it."

Last month, Google unveiled Dart, a new language it developed for internal use that provides a variety of useful features and generates, not C, not native binaries, but JavaScript. The initial reception has been mixed: some developers liking the idea, others wondering about the need for another Google-sponsored language, and a third group complaining about yet another programming language, regardless of who sponsored it. I don't share the viewpoint of the third group at all. One of the most fertile areas of innovation in computing is in language design. And today, we're seeing a bountiful harvest of new languages bringing all kinds of interesting features, many of which are being picked up by established mainstream languages. It's precisely because of the richness of this innovation that we at Dr. Dobb's run a regular "Language of the Month" feature. Our biggest challenge with the column is getting to all the interesting languages fast enough.
A theme that is emerging in new languages such as Dart is the use of JavaScript as a universal intermediate language. In addition to Dart, Fantom (our Language of the Month in February this year) and CoffeeScript do this. Moreover, some Web frameworks, such as Google Web Toolkit (GWT) do something similar, namely translating other languages (in the case of GWT, Java) into JavaScript.
A key part of the first two benefits derives from the fact that JavaScript is the province of no single vendor. In this regard, pushing JavaScript through the standardization process years ago as ECMAscript was an event of greater importance than it appeared at the time. In so doing, JavaScript was moved out of the shadow of Netscape and Mozilla and became a universal language, not quite native, and not quite high-level enough to impose heavy start-up costs. In other words, it's a language suited to being an intermediate language.
What JavaScript does not share with C, though, is the latter language's elegance. As a leaked memo from Google states, part of the motivation for Dart (then called "Dash") is to get around the fact that "Javascript has fundamental flaws that cannot be fixed merely by evolving the language." Google believes that there is little likelihood that going the standardization route will be an effective remedy for these issues, as changes to the standard "will take years and will be limited by fundamental problems in the language (like the existence of a single Number primitive)."
The memo, being internally directed, does not give reasons why a user should prefer Dart over CoffeeScript or Fantom. And, at this point, it's far too early to compare the languages and provide any recommendation. All three languages are new: Fantom began generation of JavaScript within the last year, CoffeeScript was started in 2009 and reached v. 1.0 in 2010, and Dart is very much in beta. We will, of course, track the languages at Dr. Dobb's as they mature, but I'm betting that before any of them reaches a tipping point, they'll be joined by new languages that also use JavaScript as their output.

Hey friends! I hope that everyone has been having a wonderful holiday season. It's that awesome time of the year when voracious readers like us are taking stock of what and how much we've read over the year. I'll post a Top Ten Favorites soon, so this post is purely about the numbers and whether or not I completed any pre-set reading goals. (Note: I'm counting the three books I'm currently reading in my tally, as I plan to finish them before Jan 1.) My numbers come from my 2018 Goodreads Reading Challenge (which I more than doubled – I deliberately chose a low number.)
Total Books Read: 118 (This includes chapter books I've read with my son, otherwise the total would be lower!)
Fiction: 94
Nonfiction: 24
Chapter Books/Middle Grade/Picture Books: 42 (although I've not listed picture books on Goodreads, except for one, and I've read a GAZILLION over the course of the year with my son.)
Poetry: 0 (Really dropped the ball this year.)
Mysteries/Thrillers: 13
Romance: 2
Short Story Collections: 2
Graphic Novels/Comics: 3
Audiobooks: 7
Authors of Color: 24 (20% – not good! Although if I only count MY books, not my son's, the percentage goes to 31%, a bit better. I have to say that I find kid's books are even more white than grown-up books.)
Rereads: 8
Classics: 12
Goals Completed: You may recall I only made two small reading goals, since I don't like to read from lists and lots of goals make reading feel like homework to me.
I completed one out of two goals: to read at least 12 of my own books from my own bookshelf! I read 22 books from my own shelf! (The rest came from the public library – either the one where I work or the one in the county in which I reside.)
I did NOT, however, complete the other goal, which was to read Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo. You may be asking yourself if I really WANT to read this book after all, now that it's been a goal of mine for two years and I haven't read it? Well, I'm asking myself the same thing. So my solution is, since I already own a copy, I'm going to start reading it on Jan. 1. It's so big and intimidating, I'm going to try to read just 3 or 4 chapters a week. We'll see how I like it. I'll keep you posted!
Other Blog Happenings This Year:
- I joined the Classics Club!
- I participated in Reading Ireland Month!
- I joined up with Rebecca's monthly Library Checkout meme!
- I visited Parnassus Books in Nashville, TN!
- I participated in Cathy's 20 Books of Summer!
- I participated in R.I.P. XIII!
It's been a terrific reading year. I've got some ideas about how I'd like to shake up my reading a little bit next year. Nothing too crazy, because I am a Mood Reader Supreme. But I'll post about that early in the new year.
How about y'all? Did you accomplish any reading goals? Anything in particular you want to do differently next year?

For one night, 17-year-old Tyronickah Buckmire had a Broadway stage all to herself. The aspiring actress and Brooklyn Theatre Arts High School junior hopes it won't be the last time.
Buckmire appeared at the August Wilson Theatre on May 9 to compete in the national finals of the August Wilson Monologue Competition for up-and-coming high school actors. To get there, Buckmire placed third in a citywide contest run by LeAp, a leading arts-in-education organization.
She didn't win the nationals, but said the experience was inspiring nonetheless.
"The August Wilson Theatre is beautiful," Buckmire said.
For her performance, Buckmire took on the role of Ruby in a scene from Wilson's play King Hedley II, part of his Pulitzer Prize-winning ten-play saga Century Cycle, set in the Hill District of Pittsburgh, where Wilson spent his early years
The series - about the African-American experience in the 20th century - established Wilson as one of the country's foremost playwrights.
In King Hedley II, Buckmire chose to tackle a tense exchange where Ruby reveals the true nature of her son's death. She said she gravitates towards challenging roles on stage. "You have to get people to empathize with you," she said. "I like the really emotional monologues."
To get into character Buckmire said she drew inspiration from her childhood growing up in Grenada. She immigrated to Brooklyn last year, settling in Canarsie.
Buckmire said she's always wanted to be a model and actress. She was cast as an extra in a film production at a young age, and has already appeared in two commercials. Since enrolling at the Brooklyn Theatre Arts H.S., she's also acted in several plays, including an adaptation of George Orwell's classic 1984, in which she played a leading role.
Buckmire's looking forward to college, where she has her sights set on an internship with the Manhattan-based non-profit Vital Theatre Company. After that, she plans to take her talents west.
"I'm going to head out to Hollywood," she said.

An Ohio man convicted of attempted murder escaped from a courthouse guard and jumped to his death shortly after being sentenced to 13 years in prison Friday, NBC News reported.
Jason Binkiewiz, 42, was pronounced dead after jumping over a banister on the third floor of a Steubenville courthouse, Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla told NBC affiliate WTOV.
Binkiewiz had just been sentenced for shooting a man in the face in 2015, and was being escorted by a sheriff's deputy when he broke free and ran towards the banister, Abdalla said.
U.S. & World
"As soon as Binkiewicz started running, (the deputy) was on him quick enough when he reached out, he had his shirt," Abdalla said. "It wasn't good enough, and if he held on to the shirt, most likely (the deputy) would have gone over with him."

Sutton United boss Paul Doswell says it is ridiculous that the club cannot install a 3G pitch at Gander Green Lane.
United have submitted a proposed rule change to the Skrill Football Conference that would allow clubs in the competition to play games on approved 3G surfaces.
The call for action follows a spate of bad weather that has seen matches across the leagues postponed due to unplayable pitches.
United's 2-0 win at Chelmsford on Saturday was their first taste of action since December 28.
Doswell said: "Not permitting 3G surfaces is a ridiculous notion, and is just a case of self-serving by the Skrill Football Conference.
"They battled for years to get two teams promoted to the Football League, and they don't want egg on their face if one of those teams happened to have a 3G pitch and cannot be promoted."
The issue could come to a head at the end of this season if Maidstone United, who have a 3G pitch, maintain their current form and win the Ryman Premier League, where artificial surfaces are permitted, only to be denied access to the Skrill South.
Doswell said: "I have it on good authority that Maidstone will take it to the courts if they are not allowed to be promoted.
"It's a crazy situation, and clubs can go out of business on the back of it."
He added: "We at Sutton have a business that is open for just one day a fortnight."
"If we had a 3G pitch, it would be open for the whole community, seven days a week.
"We have teams from U8s upwards and they have to train elsewhere, they should be able to train at Gander Green Lane."
United are fourth in the Skrill South table thanks to the win at Chelmsford, where Jamie Slabber bagged his 10th goal of the season, and Dale Binns hit his first.
The pair have signed extensions to their contracts until the end of next season, joining Craig Dundas, Jamie Taylor, Mitchell Nelson, Charlie Clough, Lee Sawyer and Damian Scannell.
Leaving the Lane were winger James Folkes, who became the fifth player in the last month to join Margate, and midfielder Ali Fuseini, who returned to league leaders Bromley.

What would they say about American football players? Iran indefinitely suspended and fined two of its soccer players because one teammate squeezed the other's behind as a gesture of victory.
Persepolis defender Mohammed Nosrati was fined $40,000 for the "immoral" grab of teammate Sheys Rezaei backside while celebrating a goal win on Saturday, Agence France-Presse translated from Iranian state television. Rezei was also suspended and fined the same amount, although he swat's the smacker's hand in the video (below).
"What happened is absolutely not acceptable because it was a very ugly thing," said Jalal Yahyazadeh, a cleric and member of parliament, according to Reuters.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Nosrati, Razaei and other players leaped and hugged each other after the goal was made. Another two teammates can be seen hugging and kissing after the score.
Both players said the gesture was made in the excitement of winning and inisisted it was inoffensive. But authorities in the Islamic Republic was outraged.
Watch the "immoral" act for yourself:

Floristry and fashion are as closely entwined as fish plus chips, honey and bees, as one Rachael Barker made the case earlier this year (here).
It's unlikely surprising then, that Italian fashion house Gucci was this week named as an exhibitor at the upcoming RHS Chelsea Flower Show, the label's first time doing so.
Titled 'Flora' and designed by Sarah Eberle, the green space will celebrate the Flora fabric scarf by Vittorio Accornero, representing the four seasons via flower boxes together with a raised 'catwalk'.
Speaking to Women's Wear Daily, Gucci's Creative Director Frida Giannini reportedly confirmed: "Flora was the very first iconic design motif from Gucci's storied past that I decided to revive and reinterpret."
Also at the start of the week, Topman and Fashion East announced the SS15 MAN line-up for London Collections: Men, taking place this June.
Joining Bobby Abley in his third season, are Nicomede Talavera and Liam Hodges, both who previously showed as part of Fashion East's Menswear Installations.
Royal College of Art graduate Liam has seen his predominantly monochrome collections worn by the likes of Drake in recent months (see here), while Talavera had already collaborated with Eastpak multiple times ahead of his London Fashion Week debut last year.
Lastly, Harrods has launched a month long celebration of all things Prada at its Knightsbridge HQ.
Featuring 40 windows, a pop-up store, several screens and a café, 'Pradasphere' samples various elements of the Miuccia Prada headed house, namely fashion, art, architecture and cinema.
A collaboration between Prada and 2x4 New York, the exhibition (opened to the public today), has already prompted a collective wave of enthusiasm amongst the industry.
Though one journalist provided food for thought via Twitter, suggesting, "Which museum would take on that brand's retrospective, when shops have such budgets and teams?"

The name Pina Colada actually means "strained pineapple." Ricardo Gracia holds the first claim to inventing this fruity cocktail. In the process of perfecting his drink first called Coco Loco which consisted of coconut milk, rum, and coconut cream, he ran into an issue. Due to the fact that his drink was served inside a half a coconut, when the coconut supply was hit with a union strike, Ricardo decided to improvise. He used a hollowed out pineapple instead. The mixture of all these flavors topped off with the sweet acidic pineapple was a huge hit, and hence the Pina Colada was born. Natures Garden has captured the essence of the famous Pina Colada in this tropical drink scent. A grand mixture of the classic tropical aromas including coconuts and pineapples, it absolutely smells phenomenal in finished products. And, this scent will surely leave your customers salivating.
This fragrance oil by Natures Garden is a tropical combination of sweet pineapple and coconut.
For candle crafters and home scenters; this tropical drink scent is used to make pina colada candles using Joy wax, WOW wax, and in Soy wax; with a scent that seems to last forever! As for other home scenting ideas; Pina Colada fragrance oil has been used to make room sprays, aroma beads, and works fabulously for electric oil burners.
On the bath and body end of products, the usage rate for this fragrance oil is 5%. This tropical drink scent does have a vanillin content of .5%, so vanilla white color stabilizer is highly recommended to offset discoloration in the finished homemade items. This wonderful tropical drink scent is used to make: bath bombs, handmade lotions, body sprays, sugar scrubs, body butters and body balms. For those of you that are cold process soapers, this fragrance soaps like a dream. Here are the official results: Works great in cp soap! No acceleration, no ricing, no separation. Very slight discoloration. Mild scent retention.

The mission of the Puente Project is to increase the number of educationally underserved students who enroll in four-year colleges and universities, earn degrees, and return to the community as leaders and mentors to succeeding generations.
Puente was founded in 1981 by the Co-directors, Felix Galaviz and Patricia McGrath, at Chabot College in Hayward, California. The program mission was to increase the number of Mexican-American and Latino community college students who transferred to four-year colleges and universities. As an outgrowth of its success as a community college program, Puente was awarded funding in 1993 to replicate the program in 18 California high schools. Puente is open to all students.
Many components work together to prepare Puente students to transfer to four-year colleges and universities:
Puente students are matched with mentors from the business or professional community. Mentors share with students their personal, academic and career experiences, and provide a window into "real life" work environments. The network of trained Puente mentors provides many resources for the Puente students, their families, their colleges, and the community.

McDonald approved for state Supreme Court
Andrew J. McDonald will make the jump from the governor's legal office to the Connecticut Supreme Court, becoming only the third high judge to bypass service in a lower court.
The Stamford native, a graduate of Cornell University and the University of Connecticut School of Law, will take the oath of office on this morning and immediately join the court.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, for whom McDonald has been chief legal counsel for two years, will administer the oath in the Capitol. A ceremonial swearing in will be held in the Supreme Court chamber within the next few weeks for family and friends.
The state Senate on Wednesday endorsed McDonald 30-3 and the House voted final confirmation, 125-20. In all, about 90 minutes of debate occurred on the nomination of McDonald, who becomes the first openly gay member of the Supreme Court.
Opposition came from Republicans who either claimed he didn't have enough judicial experience; or recalled a 2009 battle over a failed bill that would have required further financial oversight of Roman Catholic parishes that was opposed by church leaders.
Several legislators charged that McDonald, who as a state senator led the Judiciary Committee, had an anti-Catholic agenda.
But supportive lawmakers on both sides of the aisle said that McDonald's legal experience, eight years in the Legislature and his ability to see all sides of an issue would make him a valuable associate justice of the Supreme Court. The 46-year-old Stamford resident will be paid $162,520.
House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk, said he believes McDonald will be fair and able to put aside his personal beliefs.
He said that it was only natural for McDonald to have stirred up criticism as a lawmaker.
"That is the role of a legislator and an elected public official," Cafero said. "And if we were to hold that fact against the varying nominees before us...I'm not so sure that would be a good system. Wouldn't we all be picking people that agreed with us and denying people, or voting against people who didn't?"
Rep. Gerald M. Fox III, D-Stamford, current co-chairman of the Judiciary Committee, recalled that during McDonald's recent confirmation hearing, he stressed that the power of the General Assembly to make state law is sacrosanct.
"That's how he's going to apply his intellect, his reasoning abilities when addressing a case that comes before him," Fox said of McDonald, a former partner with Pullman & Comley LLC, who during his last six years before joining Malloy's Capitol team in 2010, headed the firm's appellate-litigation unit.
"We all know that the Supreme Court has to make tough choices," Fox said. "They're not easy."
McDonald is a former member of the Stamford Board of Representatives and was chairman of the Stamford Board of Finance. During Malloy's tenure as mayor of Stamford, McDonald served as chief legal counsel.
Sen. Michael McLachlan, R-Danbury, had lingering questions about the 2009 proposal that turned the Judiciary Committee into a lightning rod, prompting busloads of church-sponsored protesters.
McLachlan, a member of the Judiciary Committee, last week wrote McDonald a letter asking for further clarification of the issue ,but had not received a response by Wednesday's vote.
"It seems to me that this is unfortunate," said McLachlan, who voted against McDonald's nomination in committee last week.
"Should we not take pause for just a day or two to consider further?" McLachlan asked, indicating that McDonald's silence was a sign of "disrespect" of the legislative process.
Senate Majority Leader Martin M. Looney said the 2009 bill was the result of two major cases of financial fraud in Southwestern Connecticut churches.
Rep. Rosa C. Rebimbas, R-Naugatuck, ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, said she was satisfied with McDonald's responses to questions on the 2009 bill.
Rep. Livvy R. Floren, R-Greenwich, whose district includes part of Stamford, said that during McDonald's eight years in the Senate, he was "the great convener" of the eight-member Stamford delegation as they planned legislation after hours in Pullman & Comley's Stamford office.
"He knows how to work an issue," said Sen. Bob Duff, D-Norwalk, adding that he believes that McDonald will be fair and work hard.
Sen. Carlo Leone, D-Stamford, agreed. "He's thoughtful, he's reasonable, he works through the issues."

I was the only traveller here, I guess not many people stop by these tiny isolated fisherman villages.
I spent a lot of time with the kids, they were intrigued by me staying in the middle of them, doing basically nothing.
I had a really good time.
A Sadhu
Varanasi, far away from the frenetic agitation of the center, i met this man. He lives in a wasteland, or should say a landfill.
His life has been run by the quest of hinduism and for thus, he travelled all around India.
We became kind of friends quickly, which was not obviously the case with others Sadhu. His English was really good, that helped a lot I guess.

Projects Abroad Human Rights Office – Cape Town, South Africa – Monthly Reports
Projects Abroad Human Rights Office - Cape town - Monthly reports - September 2011
This month has been very productive for PAHO with new ideas and new projects, adding to the already successful projects currently running. Volunteers have been planning new soccer tournaments, developing new relationships with other organisations, organising a jewellery sale for the women at St. Anne's, and working hard on a variety of different legal cases. The office continues to evolve and grow as do the volunteers working in the office.
Social Justice
The volunteers have been very busy at Bonnytoun over the last month, and are facing the challenges that are posed by a lower number of volunteers in the Human Rights Office, which is inevitable at this time of year. Volunteers have been getting the boys involved with a lot of work on life skills, trying to encourage them to develop and nurture a positive outlook on their future prospects, and rewarding their efforts with some outdoor sports, when the weather has permitted. We have also uncovered a lot of hidden artistic talent among the boys, and are hoping to present them with opportunities to showcase their skills.
The Women's Shelter: St Anne's
We have had an interesting few weeks at St Anne's. The volunteers have been running a series of workshops with the ladies on various topics including marriage, divorce and child maintenance, sexual offences, legal assistance and counselling services. It has been great to exchange experiences with the ladies and we have enjoyed coordinating lively discussions withthem about how these issues affect their lives. In addition to the workshops, St Anne's has also hosted a jewellery sale this month to raise money for the home. The sale came about after some of the ladies at St Anne's revealed to the volunteers that they make some stunning pieces of contemporary jewellery. When the human rights volunteers saw how beautiful the jewellery was, they thought it would be great to hold a jewellery sale for the rest of the Projects Abroad volunteers. The sale was a success and we are now hoping to make the St Anne's jewellery sale a regular event.
This month we started a new program in Nyanga East. ISIBANE is an anti-crime organisation that works in various communities in the townships and aims to empower street communities so that crimes can be reported in the appropriate way as well as looking at ways to teach vital skills to youth and parents. PAHO volunteers attended a two-week conference hosted by ISIBANE and went to various communities with ISIBANE volunteers. A week later, ISIBANE volunteers came to our office to discuss PAHO's involvement with their organisation. We are looking forward to further developing this relationship and working with them in the future.
Manenberg Girls
We are currently recruiting new participants for the Manenberg Girls program. Once we have a sufficient number of participants we will begin planning workshops focussing on life skills and self-empowerment.
Manenberg Boys
For the Manenberg Boys, we are currently in the process of establishing an indoor five aside soccer league at the Silvertree Community Centre. We are in the course of registering players and teams at present, with the league hoping to be under way by Monday the 17th of October. We hope the league will last for approximately four weeks, with a Finals Day to be scheduled immediately afterwards with all teams participating. We feel this competition will be an excellent way to benefit young males in Manenberg who are particularly at risk of being absorbed into the 5 local gang culture. Our long term aim is to build stronger ties with the Silvertree Community Centre, extending the sports available to the people of Manenberg and improving the facilities as a whole. We are hoping to do this by gaining both council and local business support, and we have had some success so far in contacting the South African Soccer Foundation who will be able to supply equipment and additional coaching for junior age groups.
Mock Trial/Debating Workshop
The last month has been a very exciting time for the Mock Trial program. Our new mock trial program in Ruyterwacht has stabilized with regular members. The kids are older and knowledgeable about the state of their country and passionate about their beliefs. We have been honing in on developing logical and coherent arguments which they have been very receptive to. We will kick off their study of the South African legal system by a visit to the Wynberg Magistrate's Court where our the Athlone mock trial group will have their final presentation of their court case hearing in front of Advocate Mr. Ruiters. The Athlone group has worked very hard to perfect their arguments and speeches, and this is a great accomplishment for them. The kid's will get individual certificates recognizing their dedication to the Mock Trial program.
Legal Services
Lavender Hill
We continue to get many interesting cases from our Lavender Hill clinic. One of our volunteers had a client named Gertrude. Gertrude is trying to divorce her husband (and father of her children) because he is abusive and controlling. Moreover, he is a police officer (so who knows the extent of the control he exerts). Gertrude is a qualified teacher and manager; yet she has not been able (or allowed) to find employment in these fields. She has been trying to leave her marriage for the past 10 years, but to no avail. Gertrude told one of our volunteers that she "...came into this marriage a poor person, and I don't care if I leave a poor person. I just want my independence".
Other cases
- Elaine came to us at PAHO as she needed assistance in appealing a sentence for a criminal conviction against her. Elaine had been the victim of an attack and attempted rape by an ex-boyfriend (in which she suffered multiple wounds, on her body and even genitals, inflicted by him with a beer bottle). The attack was executed in the presence of her son. In self-defence, Elaine had reached for the bottle and struck back. Because of the seriousness of her injuries, Elaine was hospitalised for a few days. Upon being discharged, she was arrested by the police. Due to certain connections that her ex-boyfriend had within the community (and, therefore, with the police), Elaine was beaten by the police and charged with the attempted murder of her ex-boyfriend. The charge was downgraded to assault, but not before Elaine had spent the better part of 3 years in prison. She is currently serving a 3-year sentence under house arrest, which means she risked a lot even leaving her house to come to our office.
- We have had some interesting results in some of our cases. In one case, our client had been bitten by a dog. He believed it to be a racially motivated attack and chose to seek justice instead of a financial payout. Unfortunately, the dog owner left the 6 country before the case went to trial and the prosecutor dropped the charges. We are currently in the process of writing a letter to the prosecutor, asking why he dropped the charges and to see if they can be reinstated. In another case, we were able to assist our clients in getting their child returned to them after the child was taken from their home on charges of neglect. The police failed to follow proper procedure which resulted in our clients not being able to see their child for months. We wish them all of the best.

Buffalo tops Northern Illinois 75-67
DEKALB, Ill. (AP) Javon McCrea's 20 points and big second half Saturday helped Buffalo hold off a surging Northern Illinois for a 75-67 win.
McCrea scored 13 points in the second half, including a dunk that broke a 48-48 tie to give Buffalo (10-6, 4-2 Mid-American) a lead they never relinquished.
Joshua Freelove scored 13 points and Will Regan added 12 for Buffalo.
Northern Illinois jumped to a 9-2 lead, but Buffalo stayed close and went up 21-19 on a 3-pointer by Regan, then pulled ahead for a 34-29 halftime edge.
The Huskies pulled to within two at 13:56 in the second on a layup by Aksel Bolin, then tied it at 48 on a free throw by Aaron Armstead, but Buffalo pulled away on McCrea's dunk and a layup and 3-pointer by Shannon Evans.
Bolin led the Huskies (7-11, 1-5) with 17, Darrell Bowie had 14 and Travon Baker 12.

(CNN) - Rep. Steve King hasn't even declared whether or not he will run for the U.S. Senate.
But on Thursday the Iowa Republican sent a plea to supporters charging veteran GOP strategist Karl Rove was marshalling forces against him in a preemptive effort to push him out of the race.
Follow @politicalticker
"Karl Rove and his army have launched a crusade against me," he wrote in an email published online by the Des Moines Register.
King's email brings to the fore intra-party GOP bickering. On one end, the GOP establishment represented in this instance by Rove. On the other, the tea party, represented here by King.
The congressman is known as a staunch conservative and was identified as a target of the Conservative Victory Project - a name at which some conservatives scoff - in a recent New York Times interview with the group's leader, Steven Law. The project is an offshoot of Rove's super PAC American Crossroads, which backed various Republican bids for federal office in the 2012 election.
But that election also saw GOP losses in races where a conservative candidate made statements on controversial topics, such as Missouri Rep. Todd Akin's race for the U.S. Senate which derailed after his comments on "legitimate rape."
"We're concerned about Steve King's Todd Akin problem," Law told the Times. "This is an example of candidate discipline and how it would play in a general election. All of the things he's said are going to be hung around his neck."
Jonathan Collegio, the communications director for American Crossroads, underscored that point in an interview with CNN: "The idea is if we have a shot to win a seat we don't want a candidate like Christine O'Donnell or a Todd Akin to destroy that effort.
"We have an opportunity to take back the Senate and the House, or to hold the House, this cycle, and we want to make sure we are getting the best candidates available," he said.
King's email makes his point just as bluntly: he is not the problem.
"Nobody can bully me out of running for the U.S. Senate, not even Karl Rove and his hefty war chest," he wrote, according to the Register.
He told Radio Iowa later in the day that he has not yet made a decision, and when it does it will be based on "a thorough analysis." "It's gotten closer each day, but I wouldn't want to imply that the decision is made. It's not," he said.
He specifically cited in his email the Times report and described the Conservative Victory Project effort as "outlandish."
Law specifically cited King in the interview with the Times as an example of candidates they would target.
But asked by CNN if his group would continue going after him, Collegio demurred.
"This could be a test case. We don't know yet," he said. "It is too early to say what the field is going to look like in Iowa or any other state."
The Senate seat is being vacated as long-time Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin plans not to seek a sixth term in 2014. In his statement announcing the decisions, he said "I just feel it's somebody else's turn" to represent the state.
Several potential candidates are mulling a bid for the seat. The only announced candidate so far is Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley.
- CNN's Gregory Wallace, Paul Steinhauser, Ashley Killough and Jim Acosta contributed to this report
Oh boy this is going to be fun to watch the gop go down in flames burn baby burn.
They'll eat their OWN. ..
Steve, you're so far out of the mainstream that even Karl Rove can support you. Apparently you weren't paying attention in November when the other Right-Wing zealots went down to defeat. You're next!
GOP is fighting for its political life. Pandering and demonizing opponent didn't work now they are turning on in each other. You cannot domesticate wild thing; the tea party is biting back.
The teahage backmann and the teahage hillbilly blackburn and brewer com az and king are the kiss of death for the gop brain dead party ,see you in 2014. Losers !!!!!
Pass the popcorn please..... nom nom nom nom nom.
karl rove, mr hedgehog
Can we see this done a la Smash? I really want to see King as Derek surrounded by Rove and his Super PAC in fuchsia heels singing "would I lie to you?"
Mr. King it is called being held ACCOUNTABLE for your WORDS & DEEDS. I`m shocked that someone in the GOP is doing it. It is the only way back for the Republican Party.
Memo to all the rightmost, Tea Party types in the GOP: the adults are back in charge. You can have Thanksgiving dinner but sit down @ the kiddie table and mind your manners!
It would seem that all out civil war is erupting within the Republican Party. Rove is sending out ads (I'm gonna call star destroyers) in an attempt to knock off the rising stars of the Tea Party.
Let the civil war between the corporate elite, the Christian Right, and the military-industrial complex begin. When Marc Rubio ask for amnesty for Hispanics like their hero Reagan did, just watch the feather fly. Now that Puerto Rico is a new state with two new democratic senators and the demographic shift in the US will produce the new demographic and democratic USA. Gay marriage is coming. The war with Iran, a country of 80 million people is not coming. The two state solution is inevitable for Israel due to their demographic shift. Republicans going pro-choice because of the stocking up of abortion pills.Hope to hear from all the minister like Dobson, Robertson, and Graham who have no one to turn to when abortion rights and gay rights are advanced. Republicans please go the way of the Whig party.
Heaven help me, I agree with Karl Rove about something. The TP"s make no secret that they intend to take over the GOP, and the mainstream GOP is finally starting to fight back. It's going to be a long and bloody fight, and in the short run the chief beneficiary will be the Democrats, but it's absolutely necessary if the GOP ever wants to regain a majority.
"We gotta be careful about calling the thing," Rove said, "I'd be very cautious about intruding in on this process."
Oh we wouldn't want to intrude on the process now would we?
McConnell is in the hot seat as well and only Rove and Norquist can save him. McConnell is already obstructing claiming that closing tax loopholes is a tax hike.
Steve, please, Rove is not a Christian.....he's engaging in a jihad against you.
The Righties need to get their religious slurs right, sheesh.
One high-profile Republican strategist, who refused to be named in order to avoid inflaming the very segments of the party he wants to silence, said there is a deliberate effort by party leaders to "marginalize the cranks, haters and bigots — there's a lot of underbrush that has to be cleaned out."
Question. If they get rid of the cranks, haters and bigots, will there be anyone left?
OH NO!!!!! The victimization of old, white, conservative krischun nashun Teatroll men continues unabated!!! This is getting out of hand!!!! SOMEONE CALL THE POPE!!!!
Sitting back in my comfortable chair......drink in hand.....snacks at the ready....watching the freak show that is the GOP destroy itself from the inside.....nothing better
Of course the establishment GOP is going to target people like King.
Even mainstream Repubs are starting to resent the Tea Party/social conservative base.
Rove created the monsters and now he wants to kill them. Pretty funny.
Karl Rove " Elmer Fudd "
The saga continues.... "establishment, mainstream, elite, blue-blood, RINO, knuckle-dragging" Republicans vs. Tea Bagging "Conservatives".
When Rove gets involves, you know he's posturing for the next election (in 2014), but the end goal is getting a Republican president, meaning he's got to lower the number of (or keep it from growing) so the next RNC is not another circus of sideshows.
Big variable is Sarah Palin's not connected with Fox. She's running around with a big chip on shoulder and a need for attention. BUT I suspect she's got enough money, doesn't really care to work so hard, and doesn't care to get involved very much – otherwise, once separated from Fox, she'd have immediately sought to reclaim her position as Bagger Queen.

I have a web server which supports only the company's Intranet, not the external Internet. There will be about 100 different users who will connect to a web application on this server and they all have their own login accounts. Currently, the web application doesn't support HTTPS because of some design flaws, which take time to fix. So I have two options: 1) Delay installation of the application until it does support HTTPS. 2) Just install the thing because there isn't a huge risk, since it runs on the internal network only. In time, it could be patched and moved to a secure server.
The data managed by the web application has a privacy element, since it's mostly customer information. (But no creditcard or bank account data.) It's still considered sensitive information, though. But not sensitive enough to defend at all costs. And although there would be one or two users with some technical knowledge about computer hacking, most users are not IS specialists but just generic users. (All users use a regular user account, not administrator accounts. Installing additional software by users is made [almost] impossible.)
So, is there a big risk when I install this application internally on a less secure connection?
Add-on: We don't support WLAN. Visitors can plug in to the Network but still won't have access to the Intranet environment. I'm not an expert on this topic, but as I understood, the machine needs to be part of our domain before it can access the Intranet environment. (This has been tested!) Since users can't install additional software, it would be difficult for them to install additional hacker tools. Every system also has a good virus-scanner active which is kept up-to-date. Plus, all outgoing Internet connections will have to pass an additional proxy server which does a few additional checks. The users know that their Internet behavior to outside sites is monitored. And although any computer might be hacked, the system isn't sensitive enough to go to panic mode and make sure everything is secure. Worst-case scenario would be that a hacker deletes all data, which means we have to restore a backup. Or he gets a list with snailmail addresses of customers, their jobs and some financial information but no references to bank accounts or other account information.
Add-on2: I'm asking this simply because the regular administrator is unavailable at this moment. (He had an accident due to the bad weather conditions in the Netherlands. It's not critical but it takes a while for him to recover.) The application is new and will have no data once installed. I was told that it could take up to 2 months before he recovered well enough to continue his work so the decision is mainly about installing it without his support so it can be used already or to wait until he returns, which would probably delay things for as long as he's away or until we've found and trained a qualified replacement.

Strengthening the Mind
Summary:
April's podcasts sees us discuss mind training! There are lots of differing ways in which people can approach mind training. Not all are too my tastes and I have to be honest and say I'm not that great a fan of some of the more "esoteric" approaches. I am with Gichin Funakoshi that the strengthening of the mind is achieved, not through any flowery / "new-age" practises, but through austere combative training:

"One whose spirit and mental strength have been strengthened by sparring with a never-say-die attitude should find no challenge too great to handle. One who has undergone long years of physical pain and mental agony to learn one punch, one kick should be able to face any task, no matter how difficult, and carry it through to the end. A person like this can truly be said to have learnt karate." – Gichin Funakoshi

In this podcast I discuss the ways in which martial arts training can strengthen the mind, and how that strengthening process can benefit our daily lives as well as our combative skills. I think this vitality important aspect of martial arts training is largely ignored or misunderstood; and yet without an understanding of how we strengthen our mind, there can be no true "Jutsu" (combative skill) and no true "Do" (personal development). I hope you enjoy the podcast!

All the best,

Iain

As Executive Director, Vagle will drive the Center's research and programming agenda, developing a calendar of CTIC programming including conferences, faculty workshops, visiting scholar programs, and faculty fellowships. In addition, he will direct student-oriented programs, including student fellowships and internships, while working in collaboration with relevant Law School student groups and joint degree programs.
Vagle most recently served as an associate in Pepper Hamilton's Privacy, Security and Data Protection Group. He earned his JD from Temple University, where he was Editor-in-Chief of the Temple International and Comparative Law Journal. Vagle blogs and speaks regularly on privacy, data security, and other cyberlaw-related topics, and is the author of several law review and technical articles, including a forthcoming article, "Furtive Encryption: Power, Trust, and the Constitutional Cost of Collective Surveillance," in the Indiana Law Journal.
Prior to law school, Vagle graduated from Boston University with a degree in mathematics and spent more than a decade as a practicing engineer, including six years at BBN Technologies, the company that played an instrumental role in creating the Internet and which remains one of the nation's premier technology firms. Vagle also served four years active duty in the U.S. Marine Corps and four years in the U.S. Army National Guard.

"He has a unique background that blends academic and professional experience in the fields of the law and technology, and he will help CTIC expand relationships across Penn, and with policy makers and legal and industry professionals."
The Center for Technology, Innovation and Competition promotes research that aims to shape the way legislators, regulatory authorities, and scholars think about technology policy, intellectual property, privacy, and related fields. Through major scholarly conferences, symposia, faculty workshops, and other activities, CTIC is committed to providing a forum for exploring the full range of scholarly perspectives on these issues.

Lauflänge: ca.138 min
The Seminars of Sergei N. Lazarev abide by a unique principle. Speaking in detail about the fundamental points of his research, S. N. Lazarev addresses his audience's questions concerning the human soul, offering a perspective on how a person's character, emotional state, and worldview can affect their destiny and health, as well as that of their children. Here it is possible to find answers to the questions any person asks at least once in the course of their lifetime:
"Why are these things happening to me?"
"What did I do to deserve these problems?"
"How do I protect myself, my children, and my loved ones from misfortune?"
These are a few of the many topics touched upon in the Prague 2012 seminar to be found on this DVD.
Throughout the twenty years of his research and practice S. N. Lazarev has worked with many thousands of patients, helping them experience how misfortune and disease can be overcome by a change in ones priorities, behavior and attitude, as well as through diligent care for the soul.
Using his unique ability of remote diagnosis, S. N. Lazarev has created a comprehensive philosophical system, which helps people see how things that they earlier attributed to chance, actually happen in accordance with the laws of the universe. Identifying and clarifying these laws, his system offers a new form of orientation in the surrounding world as well as in specific situations, answering the questions, "Who are we, where have we come from, and where we are going?"

"every day, every hour, every minute and every second, somewhere in the world, women – irrespective of race, colour or religion – are being subjected to violence and abuse".
When I was just a child my father extended the hand of friendship to a woman he knew only slightly; a customer who regularly came into a shop he ran in Dublin. Suspecting that all was not entirely well he overcame his natural reticence and indicated to her that if she ever needed a friendly and sympathetic ear he would be willing to provide it.
Shortly afterwards, at 2am one morning, this woman arrived at our house with her three young children in tow. She had once again been beaten by her husband but now, for the first time, she had somewhere to turn. My parents asked no questions. They merely opened their home to this woman whose own family had disowned her for marrying a man who they believed was no good. Several of us vacated our beds and shared with our siblings to make room for these late night callers. The next morning they left with hardly a word but returned several times over the years until finally this woman mustered the courage to leave her abusive husband. What was extraordinary to me was the fact that this woman was a professional with a good income of her own and the financial if not emotional wherewithal to leave anytime she chose to. I have never forgotten her story.
We have probably all encountered the scourge of domestic violence, even if unwittingly. The veil of secrecy that still conceals this dysfunction in our society is to this day preventing women, and indeed many men, from seeking the help and support they so desperately need for themselves and their children. Today in the Irish Times Health Plus supplement I was given the opportunity to highlight some of the work being done by Women's Aid and Avon here in Ireland and to specifically draw attention to an extraordinary poster exhibition taking place in the Lighthouse Cinema in Smithfield until December 10 2010. I'd be delighted if you followed the link and read my piece. For those interested in visiting the Lighthouse Cinema here is information on the poster exhibition, as compiled by Anthea McTeirnan in the Irish Times today.
"More than 400 posters highlighting the issue of violence against women, curated by former Garda Colm Dempsey, are on show at The Light House Cinema in Smithfield, Dublin. The exhibition is part of Women's Aid "One in Five Women" 16 Days Campaign, which runs until December 10th.
Director of Women's Aid, Margaret Martin, says the exhibition highlights the facts that "every day, every hour, every minute and every second, somewhere in the world, women – irrespective of race, colour or religion – are being subjected to violence and abuse".
"In an era when we are overloaded with images, words and sounds, the powerful graphics in these posters can help us realise the enormity of living with someone who abuses you. For women who are experiencing abuse, they also reach out to show that help is available and they are not alone, that support is available."
The free exhibition is open to the public and runs daily from 2pm-8pm. The Women's Aid national freephone helpline is at 1800-341900. womensaid.ie
