If you go by 158 West 5th in Vancouver today, you will find a non-descript industrial building. But when Fred Herzog passed by in 1960, it was a small grocery store covered in advertising signs.
The side featured a giant "Drink Coca-Cola" sign above a couple of "Fresh Up with 7UP" advertisements. The front had eight more 7UP signs, six for Coca-Cola, three for Red Rose Tea, two Pepsi signs, and a Craven 'A' ad.
A quartet of scruffy young kids were hanging out outside the store, not paying any attention to Herzog whatsoever. The store was also looking a bit weather-beaten — the shingles looked like they hadn't been painted in decades.
Herzog loved it, so he took a photo. And 54 years later, it has been made into a stamp.
Bogner's Grocery is one of seven images featured in Canada Post's second Canadian photography stamp series, alongside works by acclaimed photographers such as Edward Burtynsky, Lynne Cohen, Michel Lambeth, William Notman and Louis-Prudent Vallee.
The other B.C. photographer in the series is C.D. Hoy, a Chinese immigrant who came to Quesnel in 1903 and took some exceptional portraits in Quesnel and Barkerville between 1911 and 1924.
The Hoy stamp is of an unidentified Chinese man in 1912, resplendent in a spiffy suit and vest and smoking a cigar. It was probably taken while Hoy was working as a farmhand — he later operated a general store, and took photos as a sideline.
Herzog, 83, immigrated to Canada from Germany in the 1950s and was fascinated by North American culture. So he set out to document it.
"The signs are a very, very important pictorial part of the American city," he said of Bogner's Grocery in a 2005 interview.
"I won't even say pictorial, an important cultural part of the American city. If you take the Coca-Cola and other signs away from America downtown, you have nothing. Maybe some interesting architecture, but not very much.
"The neon signs and the soft drink signs, the cigarette ads and the billboards, and the posters and the graffiti and collages of torn-off posters, all that contributes to make the city a place where art actually happens. That kind of casual art, overlapping posters, can be very, very interesting. Those posters illustrate the city even if people are not there.
"A store like this was a gem. You cannot fake that. Look how casually they nailed this big sign over the small one. The Coca-Cola man says 'We've got another big sign,' and the person who owns the store says 'Well, put it up.'"
The Canadian photography series is a five-year program. Jim Phillips at Canada Post said photography experts from across the country were asked to select their top-35 photographers of the last 150 years, and their favourite works by each photographer.
Canada Post then collected the results and put together 35 stamps, one per photographer. Last year's crop included Vancouver's Rodney Graham and Jim Breukelman, along with Thomas Coffin Doane, Margaret Watkins, Geraldine Moodie, Arnaud Maggs and Gabor Szilasi.
Phillips said that about three million stamps will be printed of the seven images, which breaks down to about 425,000 each. They will be issued in three denominations.
Herzog and Hoy will be domestic 85-cent stamps, while William Notman's 1885 photo of Buffalo Bill and Sitting Bull will be issued at the $1.20 US rate. The Burtynsky stamp, Railcuts #1, will be issued at the $2.50 international rate.

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, other survivors of the Tucson shooting rampage and countless others will come together in the close-knit southern Arizona city on Jan. 8 to commemorate the one-year mark of that tragic day and remember those who died.
A number of events are planned that Sunday, although it remained unclear Thursday which Giffords will attend or whether she will make any public statements.
Other survivors of the shooting, including Giffords' staffers Ron Barber and Pam Simon, plan on going to every event that they can. Others, like 76-year-old survivor Mavy Stoddard — whose husband died shielding her from bullets — plan on staying home with loved ones who will help them get through the emotional day.
"The whole weekend of the anniversary, I think is going to be tough," Barber said recently during an interview in Giffords' Tucson office.
Barber was shot in the cheek and thigh during the shooting, which killed six and injured 13, including Giffords. The congresswoman survived a gunshot wound to the head and has been undergoing extensive physical and speech therapy in Houston for the past year.
Barber still walks with a cane, meets with a therapist and is working on a part-time basis because of fatigue.
Barber has been reliving the terrible moments of the shooting in nightmares and flashbacks as he helps plan events marking the day, which he envisions as a time of togetherness and healing for Tucson.
"This wasn't just an emotional wound for those of us who were there, but our entire community was shocked — a lot of people still cry when they see me," Barber said. "We're bringing the community together in a way that they came together (after the shooting)."
In the weeks following the tragedy, Tucson residents turned out in droves to contribute to memorials at Giffords' office, the hospital where survivors were treated and in front of the grocery store where the shooting happened. All of the people wounded that day say that their neighbors brought them food that kept them fed for two months.
"This community really rallied around itself and us," Barber said. "And I know the congresswoman wants to be here to be a part of that."
Simon said she feels a responsibility to go to all the events planned Jan. 8, partially because her colleague and friend Gabe Zimmerman and others who were there for Giffords that day were killed.
"I've felt this way from moment one, since I was one of the staff members that could be there, although it's emotionally tough sometimes," she said. "But people got wounded when they came to see Gabby, and as one of her staff it's very, very important for me to be there for the community. It's a privilege and an honor."
The events planned include a community-wide ringing of bells at churches and by people throughout the city at 10:11 a.m., the exact time the shooting broke out, an interfaith service at St. Augustine Cathedral where people of all religions are invited to pray and reflect, and a series of talks reflecting the lives of Giffords and the six people killed in the shooting.
During the talks, being held on the University of Arizona campus, Colorado Sen. Mark Udall will speak about Giffords.
Other speakers include federal Judge Raner Collins speaking for shooting victim and fellow Judge John Roll, Barber speaking for Mavy Stoddard's husband Dory, and Serenity Hammerich, who will talk about her best friend and the youngest shooting victim, 9-year-old Christina-Taylor Green.

John Daly's Magic Bus continues to roll around the country, but it's running a little bit lower than usual after he knocked off the top going through a low-clearance tunnel.
Daly was traveling through the Bankhead Tunnel in Mobile, Alabama—a tunnel with a shockingly low 12-foot clearance—when his "let's go on the road with the Dead" tour bus didn't quite make it all the way through. The tunnel sheared the fan and awnings off the top of his ride and showered them down on a passing Cadillac. The lesson as always—never drive through Alabama.
According to the traffic accident report from the Mobile Police Department, Daly was traveling eastbound toward the tunnel. A sign warns that the tunnel entrance is just 12 feet high, and dangling chains determine if a vehicle is too tall.
In his witness report, Jimmy Roberson of Mobile was just exiting the tunnel when the fan and awnings on top of Daly's RV crashed into his 1998 Cadillac DeVille. Roberson's windshield, roof and trunk were damaged in the 2:32 p.m. accident, according to the police report.
To be fair, the facts in this case are in some dispute. It's actually more of an RV than a bus. Plus, Daly says that those magic chains were not in place and the cops told him this sort of thing happens all the time. More materially, Daly isn't buying the "neck and head injuries" allegedly suffered by the driver of the Cadillac his RV sprayed with debris.
funny just read now the guy has Neck and Shoulder injuries?? From what??? something hitting his trunk?!
Ah, Twitter. Is there's any insurance fraud case you can't solve?

The study of history provides a broad perspective on the human past with the view to understanding how persons behave and of what they are capable. The department requires that majors have a breadth of competence in the history of various areas of the world, and that they have an ability to research carefully, using a variety of methods. Considerable attention is given to the philosophy of history and the various points of view with which scholars have approached the study of the past. Historians contribute to society as teachers and researchers on many levels and in many settings: in classrooms from grammar school to university, in museums, archives, and libraries, at historical sites and for a wide variety of public and private agencies.
A background in history also provides a useful foundation from which to move into a variety of fields, particularly those professions that require an understanding of human activity—the ministry, journalism, law and politics, business. The history faculty represent a wide spectrum of the discipline in subject matter and methodology, from political history to material culture study, ethnic, gender and religious history, from ancient civilizations to the present, in the Americas, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
Why Study History?
"The past isn't dead; it's not even past."
体育滚球投注—William Faulkner
"Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness . . . Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
体育滚球投注—George Santanaya
"Not to know what has been transacted in former times is to be always a child. If no use is made of the labors of past ages, the world must remain always in the infancy of knowledge."
体育滚球投注—Marcus Tullius Cicero
体育滚球投注"Whoever controls the past controls the future."
体育滚球投注—George Orwell
体育滚球投注"People make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly encountered, given, and transmitted from the past."
—Karl Marx
"It used to be said that the facts speak for themselves. This is, of course, untrue. The facts speak only when the historian calls on them: it is he who decides to which facts to give the floor, and in what order or context."
—E.H. Carr
"To study the past does indeed liberate us from the present, from the idols of our own market-place. But I think it liberates us from the past too. I think no class of men are less enslaved to the past than historians. The unhistorical are usually, without knowing it, enslaved to a fairly recent past."
体育滚球投注—C.S. Lewis
"When you control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his actions. You do not have to tell him not to stand here or go yonder. He will find his "proper place" and will stay in it. You do not need to send him to the back door. He will go without being told. In fact, if there is no back door, he will cut one for his special benefit. His education makes it necessary."

Grandhi, C. Hall, R. Koerker, M. E. Mazey, S. McConnell, D. Orenstein, J. Paietta, E. Self, J. Thomas, L. VandeCreek, D. Weber, A. Wendt, R. Williams
Non-voting alternates present were: B. Hull, S. Nelson, C. Ryan, R. Weisman
Non-voting attendees were: J. Kimble, H. Limouze, G. Malicki, J. Maxwell, W. Sellers, P. Serve, P. Seybold
II. It was moved and seconded that the minutes of the February 14, 2000 meeting be approved as written. The motion carried unanimously.
III. Report of the Dean (J. Thomas)
a. The Graduate Student Excellence Awards Program is scheduled for Monday, May 15, at 5:00 p.m. Thirty-six students selected as outstanding in their degree programs will be honored, along with five Graduate Council Scholars.
- Graduate Funding Issues
Dean Thomas reviewed changes in doctoral subsidy approved in 1998 and issues from early 1999 related to support for out-of-state students. The Regents are concerned that enrollment driven subsidy is inappropriate for the graduate level as it promotes increasing enrollments vs. quality and leads to credibility problems with the legislature. A Graduate Funding Commission has been meeting this year to discuss master's level subsidy. A proposal was put forth to divide master's programs into two groups, pre-doctoral programs and professional programs, which could be treated separately in regard to funding models. (Subsequently this proposal has been abandoned and other funding modifications are being pursued.)
IV. Committee Reports
- Policies Committee (P. Seybold)
a. The Committee proposed a Program Development Plan for a Master of Science in Scientific and Technical Communication. This is a joint program between the Colleges of Science and Mathematics and Liberal Arts. The proposal was moved and seconded and approved unanimously. The Faculty Senate and the Board of Trustees will be informed of this Plan and it will then be sent to the Ohio Board of Regents for review by RACGS. The PDP will be followed by a full proposal at a later date. (Attachment I)
b. The Committee next proposed a Program Development Plan for a Master of Science in Teaching degree in Interdisciplinary Science and Mathematics. This will be administered by the College of Science and Mathematics in cooperation with the College of Education and Human Services. The proposal was moved and seconded and approved unanimously. This will follow the same approval route as the above program. (Attachment II)
c. The Committee approved curricular revisions to the Applied Behavioral Science Program in the Criminal Justice and Social Problems track.
d. The Committee approved a new concentration submitted by the College of Education and Human Services: Educational Administrative Specialist (EAS), Curriculum, Instruction and Professional Development – Technology. The new concentration was developed to meet the demand for technical personnel in the schools.
- Student Affairs Committee (J. Fulton)
a. The Committee selected Ida Kuhr, an August 1999 honors Chemistry graduate, as Wright State University's nominee for the Regents Graduate/Professional Fellowship. Ms. Kuhr plans to attend the Wright State University School of Medicine.
b. Nominations for the Graduate Council Scholars program have been requested. The Student Affairs Committee will review nominations when a pool of candidates is available. Two awards have been approved as part of the accelerated approval process.
- Membership Committee (E. Self)
a. The Committee brought forward ten nominations for full graduate faculty status and three nominations for adjunct full graduate faculty status. These were moved, seconded, and approved unanimously by the Council.
The ten new full members are:
M. Fall Ainina Finance & Financial Services/CoBA
Bud Baker Management/CoBA
Mark Cordano Management/CoBA
Jeanette Davy Management/CoBA
Travis Doom Computer Science & Engineering/E&CS
Ricardo Gutierrez-Osuna Computer Science & Engineering/E&CS
James Larsen Finance & Financial Services/CoBA
Sidney Miller Surgery/SoM
Robert Sweeney Finance & Financial Services/CoBA
Doyle Watts Geological Sciences/CoSM
The three new adjunct full members are:
Frederick Patterson Biomedical, Industrial, & Human Factors Engineering/E&CS
S. L. Semiatin Mechanical & Materials Engineering/E&CS
Michael Snow Biomedical, Industrial, & Human Factors Engineering/E&CS
b. Both the Membership Committee and Policies Committee recommend a change in the Graduate Faculty policy:
Sec. 2.42A: The Department or Program according to its procedures completes the Graduate Faculty Nomination Form and forwards to the college/school dean.
The intent is to give college committees the right to determine how nominations are received.
The proposal was moved and seconded and approved unanimously.
V. Research Report (W. Sellers)
For the fiscal year-to-date, a total of over $39 million in grant funds have been awarded. Comparing data from April 1999 to April 2000, the dollar amount of awards has increased slightly over 50 percent while the number of awards has remained nearly constant.
The 2000 Research Incentive program has been completed. There are two components. There were eight Research Initiation awards selected from 18 proposals for a total of $61,695, and seven professional development awards selected from 12 proposals for a total of $12,100.
VI. Old Business - Electronic Theses and Dissertations (Jan Maxwell, University Libraries)
The process to convert to electronic theses and dissertations is moving forward with technical support and repository services for the electronic submission process being provided by OhioLink. The Wright State University Library will continue to keep paper copies of theses and dissertations that are filed electronically. Students interested in electronic submission should contact John Kimble, School of Graduate Studies.
VII. Announcements and Adjournment
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 3:45 p.m.
Submitted by,
Robert Fyffe
Secretary, Graduate Council
Attachment I: Master of Science in Scientific and Technical Communication
The College of Science and Mathematics and the College of Liberal Arts propose jointly to offer a Master of Science in Scientific and Technical Communication. Students in the program would take courses in the sciences, in technical writing, and in technical layout and design and would complete an internship experience coupled with a research project. The purpose of the program is to train students to develop scientific and technical documents for a wide range of agencies and corporations. An important component of the program is based on computer usage and the Internet. Enrollment is expected to be 25 to 30 students by the fourth year of the program.
The program would be unique in the State of Ohio. Three other Ohio public universities have Master of Arts programs in technical writing. Ours would be the only Master of Science program in the State and the only one that requires students to take significant in both science and technical writing. There are only 26 programs in technical communication offered nationwide.
Attachment II: Master of Science in Teaching in Interdisciplinary Science and Mathematics
The College of Science and Mathematics in cooperation with the College of Education and Human Services proposes to offer a Master of Science in Teaching (M.S.T.) in Interdisciplinary Science and Mathematics. The program builds off the current M.S.T. programs in physics and earth science, but unlike these programs, will be aimed primarily at middle school teachers. The proposed curriculum is designed to meet the needs of teachers for coordinated programs in science, mathematics, or integrated science and mathematics. A program of study in one of these emphases will be developed for each incoming student. Each program will consist of 48 credit hours, 36 in science and mathematics and 12 in education.
The M.S.T. program will be aimed primarily at two groups of teachers: (1) teachers with temporary licensure who need sufficient hours to renew their license, and (2) teachers who are currently certified and desire to upgrade their course content background in science and mathematics. The M.S.T. program is expected to enroll 10-15 students each year.
Wright State University has taken a leadership role in the State in science education. There are currently seven science and mathematics educators, five of whom have joint appointments in CoSM and CEHS, whose primary responsibility is the professional development of pre-service and in-service science and mathematics teachers. They are involved in significant long-term leadership roles in statewide initiatives for teacher preparation.

A daily record of events
Newspapers provide articles about current events. Most are published daily. Almost every city has its own newspaper to keep track of local information.
Newspapers, like journals and magazines, are called "periodicals" because they are published on a regular or periodic basis.
Many newspapers also publish Web sites with today's news. The online copy of a newspaper may have fewer articles than the print copy.
Use a Newspaper to:
- find current information about international, national and local events
- find editorials, commentaries, expert or popular opinions
Best Tools for Finding Newspapers
- Your library will have access to a newspaper database such as ProQuest.
- Newspaper web sites often provide free online content to some or all of the content. Examples:
Keep up with current events by signing up for daily alerts from your favorite newspaper.

If your doctor has prescribed medications for your shift work disorder to help you stay alert on the job (a wakefulness-promoting medication) or sleep when you're off duty (a sleep aid), it's important to follow your doctor's instructions.
Take the proper dosage exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Medications can have side effects and need to be taken the proper way, or they can be ineffective and even worsen your sleep problem.
Before prescribing one of these medications, your doctor will review your health history, your current symptoms, and learn about any medications you're currently taking. This is an important step because there are certain health conditions and drug interactions to consider. Medications for treating excessive sleepiness and insomnia as well as other medications for other ailments can have side effects, so it's very important to learn about these side effects first, and take note of any changes or symptoms you notice when taking them.
It's important to know that medications that help you stay alert do not make up for the lack of sleep; your body still needs the proper amount of sleep to function well whether or not you take these medications.
Even if you do take medications for shift work disorder, make sure to also implement behavioral changes as well. Medications for excessive sleepiness or insomnia shouldn't be thought of as a long-term solution, but rather as a temporary way to help alleviate your symptoms. Behavioral changes are important for long-term healthy sleep.

Palm Springs might be mellow, but it's certainly not boring. Take this sexy, sparkly, post-and-beam home which was just listed for $1,495,000. The pool itself is worth the cash. Plus, it has a Boogie-Night-like wet bar. Previously owned by Oscar winner William Holden (remember "The Wild Bunch?"), with a "tongue and groove" ceiling and plenty of glass windows, you can easily leave Hollywood and still find drama.

We can all get in a rut after years in this industry. We get comfortable doing what we know. The problem is that technology does not stand still. If we don't keep reinventing ourselves then we will eventually find that we don't have the skills that the industry requires. This is so important an issue that I often ask prospective employment candidates how they keep up with technology. So what is my answer to rejuvenate your career?
Because I spend most of my time developing solutions for the Microsoft technology stack my examples will be bent more in that direction, but the basics stay the same regardless of the technology. The the keys for me are to keep informed, pilot, get certified and teach.
Keeping informed in this day has a lot of possible avenues. Podcasts, blogs, Twitter and dedicated web sites give you a variety of sources to keep up with what is coming out. At first grab everything you can find and then scale your sources back to just the ones that give you the most information for the time you invest.
You also need to get your hands dirty. Pilot new technologies you are interested in or see as affecting the future for your company. In the Microsoft arena there you can now get Visual Studio 2015 for free and the developer license for mobile development is a one time fee. The greatly reduces the barrier to experimenting with the latest technologies.
The next thing I would suggest is go and get certified. This isn't so that you have the piece of paper. To me certs are near worthless in their own right. What they will do is expose you to the deepest, darkest portions of a product. This will give you an understanding level that will give you a leg up on those around you.
The last component is to teach. This is some times the first thing I do, but first or last it is a great exercise. Whether you blog, produce your own podcast or speak at industry events, you need to know your subject to talk about it. You will find out how true it is that the teacher always learns at least as much as the student.
Don't get me wrong. It is ok to coast some times. As a matter of fact you can burn out if you are constantly in a mode of drinking from the fire hose. Just make sure you do some of these things on a regular basis to keep your skill viable. It will greatly improve your longevity and your value.

I realize there a lot of bulk email services, but what I'm trying to do doesn't feel like bulk email; though maybe I'm just thinking about it the wrong way. Case in point, I attempted to create an account on MailChimp and it wants a subscriber list.
I'd send one, and only one, email per address. For example, replying to job postings on Craigslist. I'm not sending follow-up emails, and basically the first email I send is the last to an address unless I get a reply.
Sometimes the email I send is based on a template, other times they've asked for something, and I customize the email. I've automated creating résumés and sending emails in the past, but currently the fastest way just seems manually to do it, meaning I can't imagine sending more than 500 emails in a single day.
As far as I'm able to tell, Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, Lycos, AOL, etc. do not offer the service of paying per email over the send limit, since I'd be willing to pay for the service and be done with this, as it's taking up a huge amount of time and overhead to deal with.
Currently, although I've seen sites giving higher numbers, most of the providers appear to limit emails sent to 20-40 a day; possible I'm doing something wrong, but if I am, I don't understand why these limits are not easy to see within an account, so I'm either able to stay within the limits, or see the service is not a good fit for my needs. Currently I just get random error-messages, locked-out, etc.
(If needed, and the setup doesn't take more an a few hours, I'm more than willing to deal with configuring scripts, CSV files, templates, etc. on my computer - as long as they're well documented and the end result addresses the issue; meaning that if I have to send a one-off email, I just copy the template, make the changes, and point to the email. The system must also support attachments, since every email has at least one attachment; best solution would be if I'm able to load an attachment once to the system, then alias it in the local script.)

When I get out in the country, be it by bicycle or other vehicles, I like to grab new barn pictures for my friend Jason. It's been kind of an inside joke for a long time, but "barn hunting" has taken on a new life of its own with me, and I just continue to post more of these barn themed entries to the blog.
Along with that I have had a new commission for windmill images from Paul of the U.K. With that in mind, here are all the barn and windmill images from Sunday's Trans Iowa V9 recon:

FACETIME- Nitro man: Galloway's 'cascade' flows with cash
On the door to UVA prof Jim Galloway's office in Clark Hall hangs a giant schnoz– "a life-size replica of my nose," he jokes. The guy who recently won the $100,000 Tyler Prize– the Nobel of environmental studies– has his office window open, and let's just say that's not helping reduce the nitrogen footprint.
"I need fresh air," explains Galloway, 63, who wears a sweater all summer.
Well, okay. This is after he explains the nitrogen cascade– how nitrogen emissions from cars contribute to smog that turns to acid rain that kills fish in river, makes dead zones in the oceans, decreases ozone– and voila!– contributes to the greenhouse effect.
Even worse is the nitrogen in fertilizer. "Only 15 percent of that nitrogen enters the human mouth," says Galloway. 'The rest is lost during the food production process." And the nitrogen footprint of a pound of hamburger is huge.
He got into nitrogen in the '70s thanks to a letter from a Cornell researcher who needed someone to "work on this thing called acid rain," Galloway explains. He went from being a poor pottery thrower and natural foods storekeeper in Lexington in 1972 ("Not a lot of people were eating soybeans then," he notes dryly) to the job as a post-doctoral fellow at Cornell. "In one day I bought my first-ever new house and car," he says.
Maryland-born Galloway grew up in southern California, and got his PhD in chemistry from UC San Diego. While an undergrad at Whittier College (Richard Nixon's alma mater), he wanted to be a pediatrician, but there was one problem: "I wasn't sure I could deal with sick children."
When he decided to go to grad school in chemistry instead, his father responded, "Thank God. You've just saved thousands of lives."
"The late '60s were a great time to be in school in California," says Galloway, noting that it so astounding to finish a doctorate and bolt for the hippy-dippy wilds of Virginia to run a health food store.
"I did natural foods and pottery because I was really tired of school," he acknowledges. "I needed a break."
The biggest misperception people have about the environmental hazards of nitrogen or carbon is that it's too complicated. "I respond, there's lots an individual can do," Galloway says.
He lists use of public transportation instead of cars, a balanced diet with less beef and more chicken and fish, and houses where the thermostat isn't as warm in the winter or cold in the summer. (Ahem. Could that open window be an indicator the thermostat in Clark Hall is set too low?)
Galloway is pragmatic about how much people can reasonably be expected to do. "We can't become hermits scavenging nuts and berries," he says.
"He clearly is one of the most creative thinkers in the field of biogeochemistry," says colleague George Hornberger, who applauds, for instance, Galloway's international ties with the Chinese. "When you work on a global scale, you can't just sit at your desk and work on your own."
In April Galloway and his family were at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons– where the nitrogen footprint is "off the scale" but the food magnificent– for him to collect his no-strings-attached share of the Tyler Prize, which he used to set up a research fund at UVA.
He offers another suggestion for reducing the need for fertilizers that jack up the nitrogen cascade. "If this country overnight decided not to waste any foods, we'd reduce by 25 percent the fertilizer needed."

SOMEHOW it's hard to imagine David Halberstam yukking it up with Alberto Gonzales, Paul Wolfowitz and two discarded "American Idol" contestants at the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner. Before there was a Woodward and Bernstein, there was Halberstam, still not yet 30 in the early 1960s, calling those in power to account for lying about our "progress" in Vietnam. He did so even though J.F.K. told the publisher of The Times, "I wish like hell that you'd get Halberstam out of there." He did so despite public ridicule from the dean of that era's Georgetown punditocracy, the now forgotten columnist (and Vietnam War cheerleader) Joseph Alsop.
It was Alsop's spirit, not Halberstam's, that could be seen in C-Span's live broadcast of the correspondents' dinner last Saturday, two days before Halberstam's death in a car crash in California. This fete is a crystallization of the press's failures in the post-9/11 era: it illustrates how easily a propaganda-driven White House can enlist the Washington news media in its shows. Such is literally the case at the annual dinner, where journalists serve as a supporting cast, but it has been figuratively true year-round. The press has enabled stunts from the manufactured threat of imminent "mushroom clouds" to "Saving Private Lynch" to "Mission Accomplished," whose fourth anniversary arrives on Tuesday. For all the recrimination, self-flagellation and reforms that followed these journalistic failures, it's far from clear that the entire profession yet understands why it has lost the public's faith.
That state of denial was center stage at the correspondents' dinner last year, when the invited entertainer, Stephen Colbert, "fell flat," as The Washington Post summed up the local consensus. To the astonishment of those in attendance, a funny thing happened outside the Beltway the morning after: the video of Mr. Colbert's performance became a national sensation. (Last week it was still No. 2 among audiobook downloads on iTunes.) Washington wisdom had it that Mr. Colbert bombed because he was rude to the president. His real sin was to be rude to the capital press corps, whom he caricatured as stenographers. Though most of the Washington audience failed to find the joke funny, Americans elsewhere, having paid a heavy price for the press's failure to challenge White House propaganda about Iraq, laughed until it hurt.
You'd think that l'affaire Colbert would have led to a little circumspection, but last Saturday's dinner was another humiliation. And not just because this year's entertainer, an apolitical nightclub has-been (Rich Little), was a ludicrously tone-deaf flop. More appalling — and symptomatic of the larger sycophancy — was the press's insidious role in President Bush's star turn at the event.
It's the practice on these occasions that the president do his own comic shtick, but this year Mr. Bush made a grand show of abstaining, saying that the killings at Virginia Tech precluded his being a "funny guy." Any civilian watching on TV could formulate the question left hanging by this pronouncement: Why did the killings in Iraq not preclude his being a "funny guy" at other press banquets we've watched on C-Span? At the equivalent Radio and Television Correspondents' Association gala three years ago, the president contributed an elaborate (and tasteless) comic sketch about his failed search for Saddam's W.M.D.
But the revelers in the ballroom last Saturday could not raise that discrepancy and challenge Mr. Bush's hypocrisy; they could only clap. And so they served as captive dress extras in a propaganda stunt, lending their credibility to the president's sanctimonious exploitation of the Virginia Tech tragedy for his own political self-aggrandizement on national television. Meanwhile the war was kept as tightly under wraps as the troops' coffins.
By coincidence, this year's dinner occurred just before a Congressional hearing filled in some new blanks in the still incomplete story of a more egregious White House propaganda extravaganza: the Pat Tillman hoax. As it turns out, the correspondents' dinner played an embarrassing cameo role in it, too.
What the hearing underscored was the likelihood that the White House also knew very early on what the Army knew and covered up: the football star's supposed death in battle in Afghanistan, vividly described in a Pentagon press release awarding him a Silver Star, was a complete fabrication, told to the world (and Tillman's parents) even though top officers already suspected he had died by friendly fire. The White House apparently decided to join the Pentagon in maintaining that lie so that it could be milked for P.R. purposes on two television shows, the correspondents' dinner on May 1, 2004, and a memorial service for Tillman two days later.
The timeline of events in the week or so leading up to that dinner is startling. Tillman was killed on April 22, 2004. By the next day top officers knew he had not been killed by enemy fire. On April 29, a top special operations commander sent a memo to John Abizaid, among other generals, suggesting that the White House be warned off making specific public claims about how Tillman died. Simultaneously, according to an e-mail that surfaced last week, a White House speechwriter contacted the Pentagon to gather information about Tillman for use at the correspondents' dinner.
When President Bush spoke at the dinner at week's end, he followed his jokes with a eulogy about Tillman's sacrifice. But he kept the circumstances of Tillman's death vague, no doubt because the White House did indeed get the message that the Pentagon's press release about Tillman's losing his life in battle was fiction. Yet it would be four more weeks before Pat Tillman's own family was let in on the truth.
To see why the administration wanted to keep the myth going, just look at other events happening in the week before that correspondents' dinner. On April 28, 2004, CBS broadcast the first photographs from Abu Ghraib; on April 29 a poll on The Times's front page found the president's approval rating on the war was plummeting; on April 30 Ted Koppel challenged the administration's efforts to keep the war dead hidden by reading the names of the fallen on "Nightline." Tillman could be useful to help drown out all this bad news, and to an extent he was. The Washington press corps that applauded the president at the correspondents' dinner is the same press corps that was slow to recognize the importance of Abu Ghraib that weekend and, as documented by a new study, "When the Press Fails" (University of Chicago Press), even slower to label the crimes as torture.
In his PBS report last week about the journalism breakdown before the war, Bill Moyers said that "the press has yet to come to terms with its role in enabling the Bush administration to go to war on false pretenses." That's not universally true; a number of news organizations have owned up to their disasters and tried to learn from them. Yet old habits die hard: for too long the full weight of the scandal in the Gonzales Justice Department eluded some of the Washington media pack, just as Abu Ghraib and the C.I.A. leak case did.
After last weekend's correspondents' dinner, The Times decided to end its participation in such events. But even were the dinner to vanish altogether, it remains but a yearly televised snapshot of the overall syndrome. The current White House, weakened as it is, can still establish story lines as fake as "Mission Accomplished" and get a free pass.
To pick just one overarching example: much of the press still takes it as a given that Iraq has a functioning government that might meet political benchmarks (oil law, de-Baathification reform, etc., etc.) that would facilitate an American withdrawal. In reality, the Maliki "government" can't meet any benchmarks, even if they were enforced, because that government exists only as a fictional White House talking point. As Gen. Barry McCaffrey said last week, this government doesn't fully control a single province. Its Parliament, now approaching a scheduled summer recess, has passed no major legislation in months. Iraq's sole recent democratic achievement is to ban the release of civilian casualty figures, lest they challenge White House happy talk about "progress" in Iraq.
It's our country's bitter fortune that while David Halberstam is gone, too many Joe Alsops still hold sway. Take the current dean of the Washington press corps, David Broder, who is leading the charge in ridiculing Harry Reid for saying the obvious — that "this war is lost" (as it is militarily, unless we stay in perpetuity and draft many more troops). In February, Mr. Broder handed down another gem of Beltway conventional wisdom, suggesting that "at the very moment the House of Representatives is repudiating his policy in Iraq, President Bush is poised for a political comeback."
Some may recall that Stephen Colbert offered the same prediction in his monologue at the correspondents' dinner a year ago. "I don't believe this is a low point in this presidency," he said. "I believe it is just a lull before a comeback." But the fake pundit, unlike the real one, recognized that this was a joke.

An Open Letter to Mark Zuckerberg: On Your Decision to Kill What You Eat
Kudos to you for attempting to take responsibility for your meat consumption, to face the face behind the body on your plate. I mean this with all sincerity. For reals. Killing your dinner is not easy in this age of neatly cling wrapped, sterilized-looking pieces of flesh lying in styrofoam cartons. In our modern day food system, we've lost all connection between the ingredient and end product. I hope that your decision, being that you are an ultra famous twenty-something billionaire, will have an impact on our culture and encourage more folks to explore the acts that bring a meal to plate.
But I'm really curious as to why you have decided to focus solely on being the henchman in that final moment of the animal's life, the proverbial "money-shot" of meat production. I'm sure you realize that there is so much more in getting that birria to the stew pot. There is, of course, the daily shoveling of shit, feeding, watering, and making sure the animals stay healthy. And what about a farmer's concerns of being profitable in an industry that one can barely make a living at, even if using subsidized GMO grains for feed? Or that the farmer or slaughterhouse has to rely on cheap, usually illegal, immigrant labor in order to survive in those businesses? Are those things that you will be educating yourself on in your endeavor to learn more about where your food comes from?
I don't mean to be overly critical because I do truly admire your resolve. You remind me of my twenty-year-old vegetarian self who had determined that one should only eat meat if they could kill it themselves. At the time, I knew I wasn't capable of the killing so I chose not to eat animals. But now that I am a middle-aged, carnivorous, not-even-close-to-being-a-billionaire-in-my-wildest-dreams urban farmer, I have killed and I have discovered exactly what it takes to produce the food we eat. It's a lot of work, Mark. A lot of rote, dirty, smelly, unglamorous, low-valued work. In essence, much more than just the killing.
Maybe you already know all this. Maybe these are things that you think about. But let's face it, you're a billionaire who rubs elbows with presidents, king and queens, and the richest of the rich. You can essentially do anything you want. Is your foray into grim reaper any different from the wealthy dude who hangs off the back of his Hummer on his Texas estate safari shooting at tigers for a prized trophy head to hang over the mantle? OK, OK, maybe that's a bad analogy. You're not shooting endangered, exotic animals from the back of a gas guzzling SUV for the sake of putting another notch on your belt. Make no mistake though, killing for your own meat is a trophy of sorts, just like learning Chinese or wearing a tie every day for a year.
This may be hyperbole on my part, but can't you see how this smacks of Hameau de la Reine, Marie Antoinette's play farm where she pranced around pretending to be a dairymaid? Isn't this a bit of masquerading on your part? I mean, come on, you're a billionaire! You don't have to process one morsel of your own food if you choose not to. With your kind of money, you don't even have to lift your fork to your mouth. You really could pay someone to do that. It would be weird, but you could do it. People with your kind of wealth have an all access pass to do anything they want to do, including sauntering on to someone's farm and slaughtering animals. Any farmer would be more than happy to show you the ropes, probably for free, because you are Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook guy and the youngest self-made billionaire EVER. You must know that you walk this earth in possession of more privilege than the other 95% of us combined. Can you see how this could look a little like "Oh, now he wants to amuse himself as farmer!" to the masses?
Maybe you're wondering why I'm being so hard on you. It could even look like jealousy since I'm more than a decade older than you without anything even remotely like your achievements under my belt and I am clearly not a billionaire and I'm possibly a little jealous that you are because I keep mentioning your wealth in, like, every other sentence. I promise I'm not pressing you on this issue, Mark, due to envy (though the billionaire thing does give me a twinge when my mortgage comes due). I just think that you could push yourself further on the "understanding where your food comes from" thing. If you are reading this, I'm sure you just muttered something like, "Hey crazy lady, I'm killing animals over here. What else do you think I should do?" Well I'll tell you: participate in how food is produced not just in how it meets its maker.
Mark, I've got a great challenge for you. Instead of just executing your meals, why don't you raise a small flock of meat birds and laying hens? This way you can really get to know your animal before it makes it to the chopping block. Why poultry? Well they are pretty low maintenance where livestock is concerned and you can get meat as well as eggs. If you could spend an hour a day learning Mandarin, you could certainly spend 30 minutes a day feeding and mucking the coop of your little clutch of ladies.
Each year you engage in the classic conflict of man versus himself, but with the challenge you have set forth for yourself this time around, you have a golden opportunity to experience the entire process, to see how the rest of the world has to work in order to survive. On a micro scale, of course. If you keep track of your input versus output, you will quickly realize that it is almost impossible to be a profitable farm, even with economies of scale. Meat is not only a question of the ethics of "passing the buck" in the brutality of it all, but an issue of social justice. How many billionaires take the time to explore that?
I took the liberty of looking up your city's codes and all you need is a permit. I know your neighbors might get their feathers a bit ruffled, but I'm sure you've got enough space on your $7 million property to be relatively discreet. You could also use it as an educational opportunity to inform your neighbors on the benefits of raising their own food. Even famous folks like Martha Stewart and Olympic swimmer Natalie Coughlin are doing it. You wouldn't be alone. I'll even help you get started. For free! This weekend I'll be at the Sunset Magazine Celebration Weekend in Menlo Park, next to your home town as you know, with my friend Esperanza giving out free info on raising backyard poultry. There will be a booth near ours where you can purchase an attractive coop for your chooks and you can pick up some nice birds right in Menlo Park from Little Cluckers.
I tell you, Mark, this is going to be a great project for you and really only a slight expansion of your original endeavor. I assure you it will be more than rewarding growing and harvesting food that you have raised with your own two hands. And think of the street cred you'll gain with fellow farmers going through the entire process from start to finish.
With much sincerity, admiration for your responsible meat eating (you've certainly gone further than I have), and gratitude for connecting me with friends whom I never would have gotten in touch with if not for Facebook (I'm going to look past that privacy issue for now since this is meant to be a letter of encouragement and not a "bag on Mark" note),
Heidi Kooy
P.S. I think you should throw in a mini-garden too. Growing vegetables is often harder than it looks and involves way more killing than most vegans would like to acknowledge. I know this from experience.

This was without a doubt, your most brilliant blog yet! I can only hope he reads this. Thanks for being awesome.ReplyDelete
I love this post! What an excellent read. Someone has got to get this to Mr. Zuckerberg.ReplyDelete
Heidi you are a queen of the urban lair, I will always adore you and ALL of your strengths.ReplyDelete
~x0x0x0x Miss Willow
Awesome, Heidi! This has to make it into Mark's hands pronto.ReplyDelete
What a great letter....do you have any way of knowing if you can get it to him.ReplyDelete
How about you and Esperanza stop by San Mateo Ecovillage on your way to or from Menlo Park.
Uh, can you post it to his wall as a comment on Facebook? Lookee here:ReplyDelete
Wow, you nailed it,ReplyDelete
brilliant! if i were mark, i'd have more chickens than facebook friends. even after mucking their coop, they're less high maintenance.ReplyDelete
Nicely said, Heidi. When I heard the Father of Facebook was raising animals for personal slaughter I thought, "Yeah, right!" I'm still thinking it.ReplyDelete
i'm curious, would you be railing on him if he wasn't mark zuckerberg? i find it interesting how many people have found ways to try to take him down a notch. he is human just like the rest of us, trying to do the right thing. instead of assuming he's elitist (think about it, 10 years ago he was just some kid), maybe consider ways to meet people where they are. too many people think they can affect change by saying "not good enough!", thereby adding (even if not intentionally) a negative energy to it. i read the thing about zuckerberg and i thought - hell yeah, that's awesome, good for you, mark! it means he's headed in what many of us would agree to be the right direction. good for him. period.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the feedback EcoGrrl. In my defense, I believe I am meeting Mark where he is. I think you may have mistaken my tone. I definitely go overboard on my analogies (what can I say, I'm a beyotch like that), but I also give him plenty of patting on the back. I think his decision is awesome. I end the note with encouragement to take his challenge one step further. I don't see critique as negativity, I see it as a way to press people to stretch themselves into places that maybe they didn't think about before. And to answer your question, yes; I would challenge anyone who thinks that killing their meal is the answer to the ethical dilemma of eating meat. The work behind raising the animal for slaughter is the tedious, hard stuff. The final moment is a tough one emotionally, yet it is swift and laden with mythological clout (man as brave hunter and conqueror of his natural world).ReplyDelete
And I'd like to add a big thank you to you for adding a new dimension to this discussion. I like hearing from folks that disagree with my opinions.

Enterprise Unix Roundup: Solaris x86 Resurgent, Sun's Side of the Story
Several weeks ago, we cocked a collective eyebrow at Sun. When executive VP Jonathan Schwartz said "we do not believe that Linux plays a role on the server. Period," we didn't have much of a choice.Michael Hall gets the low-down on Sun's answer to the Linux question; SCO extends the deadline for companies to ante up; it's vulnerability redux for ssh, tcsh, bash, and ksh; and we revisit regexps via ^txt2regex$, an application that explains regular expressions in plain English.
Our read on the statement was that it was more than a little hyperbolic, perhaps fueled by bitterness at Linux making lunch meat of Solaris x86.
As reported last week, Hewlett-Packard pounced on the PR goldmine Schwartz offered, making an admirable but unremarkable offer to pass some incentives along to enterprises that drop their Solaris installations for HP gear running Linux. Hand it to HP: It understands how a lot of IT types are caught up in the emotionally charged questions of "loyalty" Linux engenders in the less coldly rational among us.
So after two straight weeks of puzzling over Sun's incomprehensible dithering about its love/hate relationship with Linux and reporting on HP's attempt at a flanking maneuver, we shouldn't have been surprised to hear from someone at Sun. That someone ended up being John Loiacono, Sun's VP of Operating Platforms.
Our first question was polite enough: What's with the disconnect between Scott McNealy's penguin costume antics and Mr. Schwartz's cold-eyed dismissal of Linux on the server?
Mr. Loiacano was admirably to the point:
"That's about being quotable," he said.
The rest of the conversation was more or less about Solaris for x86, which we've derided on the good word of sys admins in the field who don't much like it as a pale shadow of Solaris on SPARC.
Loiacano's on an offensive to undo much of the criticism Solaris x86 has endured, pointing to its growing base of supported hardware types (Pentium 4, Xeon, dual-processor, grid, and blade servers); ongoing efforts to optimize the platform (the Atlas programs, which he says have improved Solaris performance upward of 60 percent in some benchmarks, but generally a respectable 10 percent to 20 percent overall); and an increase in simple personnel resources directed to the operating system, with 150 to 175 employees being pushed into the breach.
We admired Loiacano's candor about Solaris x86's deficiencies. (The software catalog remains a concern despite recent additions, sitting at around 1,000 applications vs. SPARC Solaris' 10,000 to 12,000 title list.) However, he soon got to a point familiar to Sun watchers -- dressing the limitations up as a qualified recognition of Linux's value proposition over Solaris in parts of the commodity server market:
"I'm not going to compete in a white box environment ... I'm not going to go head to head with Dell on a $2,200 server, and that's all I'm going to sell you. My value add is that I sell a system. It's the hardware; it's the operating system; it's the middleware stack; it's support services on a worldwide basis."
Start with the positive. That's what Dale Carnegie always said, and Loiacano managed that. So while explaining the success of Linux in the past few years, even his negatives came off as more of a matter of perspective:
"[IT people] want to get on x86 because it's fast and cheap [...] When people say there's a Linux phenomenon, from an IT perspective I would argue that it's more of an x86 phenomenon. That said, the development community is very much interested in the open source aspect, the ability to control their destiny, controlling their code, etc. IT is not enamored by that, but some of the developers are."
Loiacano went on to argue that much of Sun's apparent dithering on Linux has been the product of a fickle market, as well. The company's ill-fated in-house Linux distribution (Sun Linux), for instance, fell victim to customers too sensitive to Red Hat's brand:
"Even though it was primarily Red Hat 7.2 [and] open source, people said 'yeah, but you know what? It doesn't say Red Hat on it, so I'm not gonna do it.'"
Exit Sun Linux, and enter resulting OEM deals with Linux distributors Red Hat and Suse, which represent the operating systems on which the Java Enterprise (JES) and Desktop systems will run.
According to Loiacano, although Linux support for the JES will lag behind Solaris x86 by a (convenient) 90 days, the operating system remains supported at Sun -- something even Schwartz wasn't denying when he crossed his own Linux PR Rubicon several weeks ago. The price of the software stack in which Linux will reside, though, comes out lower for Solaris customers, reinforcing a lesson Loiacano was clearly out to stress during our interview: "There is no longer a free Linux," because no one among the sort of IT operations that constitute Sun's bread and butter can work up much enthusiasm for downloading a few CD ROM images and calling it an infrastructure.
Our takeaway? Primarily that, Mr. Schwartz's comments notwithstanding (not to mention the lurid tales of Mr. McNealy's "decapitated penguin head"), Sun is largely rational in how it is addressing the Linux question. It knows where its market lies: Not in one-off Web server installs for corporate intranets, or trusty but under-taxed SMB servers for workgroups, where Linux can't help but dominate if a Unix is to be used at all. Sun has better things in mind for Solaris x86 and its Intel-based offerings in general, and we expect a bitter fight there.
The real change is in the rhetoric.
As we mentioned earlier, much of HP's recent "Linux Lifeline" was as much an emotional appeal as it was a great deal. In the years we've covered Linux, we've come face to face numerous times with a sort of emotional resonance you don't get from "Windows enthusiasts" or the "Solaris community." Perhaps that's the David and Goliath story coming to the top, with the traditional "everyone loves an underdog" narrative finding itself recast in terms of operating systems. Perhaps it's because Linux has created a lot of converts due to its ubiquity and growing ease of use, representing the cherished first love of many a dedicated Unix nerd. Whatever its cause, and no matter how much some observers poo-poo the Mao-like fervor of some Linux enthusiasts at full froth, that emotional resonance is there, and waiting to be either mined for profit or stumbled through like a mine field.
HP figured it out, IBM has certainly figured it out, and some time in the past few weeks, Sun decided to see if there's a middle road, neither picking a fight nor walking away from one, where its own operating systems is concerned.
As long as we're all clear.In Other News
- Were you tossing and turning last night because you thought your corporate accountant had forgotten to mail SCO its Linux license money? That's a pity, because the company pushed the deadline for doubling the prices on its licenses back to October 31. Some investment bankers are still fond of SCO, though, taking the time to rate its stock a "buy," while cautioning that SCO shares will be worthless if its case with IBM falls through.
- Sun unveiled the UltraSPARC IV, setting its release for early 2004. Sun expects the processor will double the throughput of its high-end to midrange systems.
Security Roundup
Sometimes we run into problems picking noteworthy exploits and bugs to cover because it's impossible to cover all the errata every vendor posts, and because we aim for security issues that concern a healthy number of common Unix variants. This week, one that would be hard to top in terms of ubiquity reappeared two years after being identified: Four of the most common Unix shells are affected, and we're still scrolling down the list of affected vendors.
The shells in question are sh, tcsh, bash, and ksh. The vulnerability is a behavior in those shells that allows for fairly arbitrary access of files in /tmp by any user using the shells' << redirection operator. Since /tmp is a sort of DMZ in the average Unix system, there's the potential for malicious users to replace temporary but important files with contents of their own choosing, making it possible to give themselves higher privileges or to corrupt files.
Security Focus has a complete list of affected vendors and an in-depth discussion of the bug.
As we noted last week, laziness and sloth can be more potent enemies than the most determined cracker. Here's a case of an old exploit (it's been known about for a few years already) still being patched and replaced by vendors.
Tips of the Trade
Last month, we provided a series of tips on regular expressions (regexps). Since then, several of our tips have featured programs that use regexps. This week, we'd like to revisit regexps to point out a truly handy application that first explains in plain English how to say something in regular expressions: ^txt2regex$.
It's written using bash, so there's no need to compile or build anything, and it supports many, many regexp idioms, including, according to the Web site, "awk, ed, emacs, grep, perl, php, procmail, python, sed, and vim."
The nice thing about this sort of tool is that it offers fast answers for users first stumbling through the process of learning their way around regexps, while also providing an education in one of the trickier aspects of Unix life. Good stuff.

I was fourteen years old when tragedy struck! It was around 6:00 PM, getting dark, and raining. I was pedaling my bike across the highway and was hit by a car driving 55 MPH. I was thrown from my bike and landed twenty feet from the place where I was hit. All the traffic stopped! The car was totally smashed in and the front hood was compressed into the back seat. Blood was everywhere as my limp and unconscious body lay in the middle of the intersection.
Thank God, my neighbor was driving by and saw me get hit by the car. Immediately, she ran over to my severely injured body and proceeded to clear my air passages because I was choking on my blood. Additionally, an off duty ambulance was driving by just seconds after I was hit. The EMT ran over to my bloody body, put an oxygen mask over my face, and rushed me to the hospital.
I was in a coma for two weeks, had three hemorrhages in my brain, and was completely unrecognizable. My nose was literally smashed into my face and my right eye was cut so badly the physicians believed I had lost it. My mouth and lips were demolished and I had reconstructive surgery to correct the damage to my face. I was given a quart of blood and was kept alive on life support. The surgeons performed an emergency tracheotomy surgery to my throat and implanted a gastro-feeding tube in my stomach. With just a one percent chance of survival and having three days to live, my parents were told I would die.
But God had a different plan for me…
Every day, my parents and many people from church would pray for me. They would line up around my hospital bed and stand in the hallways praying for my healing, asking God to save me.
Fourteen days later, despite the doctors' prediction I would die, my eyes opened. It was a miracle! I was transferred to a rehabilitation center for six months where I re-learned how to walk, talk, eat, bathe, and function as a human all over again. I put in perspective what it was like to be disabled.
While I was recovering in the hospital, I realized the amazing work God had done in my life and accepted His free gift of salvation. Hopefully, you've received this great gift too! If not, just ask. Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again" (John 3:3).
When I was released from the hospital, I was asked to speak at several churches and youth groups, sharing my testimony and how God was working in my life. I was amazed at the response I saw to the gospel. It was at this point that I began to sense God's calling into pastoral ministry and was able to confirm that calling through various people and opportunities. My desire to know and serve Christ has been nurtured and deepened over the years and has been expressed through the different ministries God has given me. Through a commitment to servant leadership, I strive to proclaim the Good News of God's love, help others encounter Him, nurture their spiritual development, equip them for effective ministry, and build up the body of Christ.

I just read a short preface in a book that was written more than a century ago. If you have any interest in discovering more of your ancestors, it is valuable for you to read it.
It illuminates how some of our ancestors were thinking long before we were born, and more importanly, it reveals a secret that genealogy big business does not want you to know.
In 1894 Guy Scoby Rix began a valuable 20-year genealogy research project that includes parts of the ancestry of probably more than one million living people. From Concord, NH in 1905, he wrote the preface to his work. It reveals his character, his intentions, and his commitment to accuracy.
Over the centuries there have been thousands of people like Mr. Rix who have published similar works on different families. Isn't it much smarter to find out what knowledge is contained in those works, before spending tedious efforts sifting through raw unfiltered data?
The next time someone suggests that the first place for you to begin searching for your ancestors is in the raw data that hundreds or thousands of oftentimes very qualified people have been combing through for decades if not centuries, ask them, why?
Isn't it best to find out first what the experts have already discovered? Why use any of your valuable research time to search for what's already been found?
Naturally, I strongly recommend that the best starting point for ancestral history is our high quality tour guide service (the primary Family Forest® or some of it's hundreds of secondary publications.

i jst developed a basic model for finding neighbours.
the program runs a for loop to generate x,y arrays randomly .
x[] has x coordinates
y[] has y coordinates
of the nodes.
then using two for loops i calculate the distance between two nodes for each node.
if the dist< range i want to put the other node in my neigboutlist.
Since i have the coordinates of a node and its neighbours ,please suggest me how can i store and reference them in an organized way??

Research Interests
My broad research interests are in conservation and evolutionary genetics of wild populations. My PhD thesis, completed in 2017 at the University of Adelaide, focused on using DNA datasets to assess changes in genetic diversity through time and resolve the evolutionary, taxonomic and demographic histories of a diverse range Australian mammal fauna to support conservation planning. I am currently a post-doctoral researcher in Dr Linda Vigilant's Molecular Genetics lab group in the Department of Primatology.
Current Project
Preferential interactions with kin are a common feature of mammalian societies. However, the combination of pair-bonding, bilateral kin-recognition and extensive cooperation among social units linked by flexible dispersal patterns is unique to humans, and understanding how such characteristics evolved remains a key challenge in evolutionary anthropology. Comparative data from our closest living relatives, chimpanzees and bonobos (genus Pan), can provide insights into evolutionary factors acting on kinship structures.
Previous studies of kinship in chimpanzees via microsatellite genotyping show that males within a community bias positive interactions towards maternal kin. On average males are more related within than across communities, which are linked by female dispersal. However, current data lack the resolution to reconstruct wide genealogical networks, particularly across communities.
I am applying high-throughput sequencing to non-invasively collected fecal samples from across an entire chimpanzee population in Kibale National Park, Uganda to produce an exome-wide SNP dataset. This dataset will be used to determine kinship structures within the population to a resolution that has, as-yet, been unattainable.
In combination with behavioral information from habituated Kibale chimpanzee communities, these results will ultimately be contrasted with information from small-scale human populations to increase our understanding of how kinship structures evolve.
