I never really thought of myself as a "free range" mom until I started paying attention to the way some other parents, well, parent. That's when I started encountering all these crazy helicopter moves!
When did we become a nation of such hoverers? Was it because we're the first generation of parents raised on a steady diet of after-school specials designed to scare the ever-living bejeezus out of us? Because we've had it drilled into our heads what happens if you open the door to a stranger, do drugs, or eat something with raw eggs in it?
Whatever is causing it, helicopter parenting has taken over America. And it could be in your house! Don't believe me?
Just take a gander at the signs of a helicopter parent:
1. Your kids' teachers see you coming and instead of greeting you with "Hi, Mrs. Jones!" they groan and whisper, "It's her again. Runnnnn!"
2. You still cut your son's meat. He's 12.
3. You have the principal on speed dial and keep a list of things to tell her "next time."
4. You're the mom who reported the mom at the playground to CPS. For feeding her son Goldfish.
5. You've priced a kiddie lo-jack system, and you're seriously considering the purchase.
6. You have a voodoo doll that looks suspiciously like Lenore Skenazy.
7. When your daughter got her "pen permit" from the school for learning cursive, you took it away because someone might lose an eye with that thing!
8. You've completed one of your kids' school projects. COMPLETED, not helped (yes, there is a difference).
9. Your won't let your son ride the school bus because the driver won't let you get on to check that his seatbelt is securely fastened.
10. You bought your 5-year-old a smartphone so she can text you when the bus gets to kindergarten to let you know they made it OK.
11. Your daughter wears a helmet to bed in case she falls out (and by bed I mean mattress on the floor, around which is a sea of pillows).
12. You are horrified when your parents suggest your 10-year-old throw out his own napkin and put his own plate in the sink.
13. Your child has NEVER lost a game. Not even Go Fish.
14. Your son's friends don't like to come over for playdates because they don't want to have to play with YOU.
15. You hired a Mandarin tutor. For your preschooler. In the United States.
16. You have "mommy" business cards that list you as "Acai's Mommy" and list her many talents.
17. You have never left your 10-year-old home alone with ANYONE (not even his father).
18. Your kids don't go to birthday parties because there are GERMS there.
19. There's a nanny cam in your daughter's bedroom. You don't have a nanny.
20. You say your kid has never eaten dirt (and you actually believe yourself).
Sooooo ... are you a helicopter parent? What other signs should make the list?

Testing standard output exhaustion
While writing the latest instalment of Quality Matters I've needed to be able to demonstrate exhaustion of a process's standard output stream. Such a thing is possible, but it's a lot harder to achieve than you might think. This is the story of how I achieved it.
The problem I'm attempting to demonstrate in the column instalment is what happens when writing to the standard output stream fails. Certainly, everyone knows (or should know) that such a thing is possible. But by the same token, everyone assumes (and with some cause) that such a thing is exceedingly unlikely to ever occur in the majority of use cases.
Now, I'll reserve my observations about whether making such assumptions is a good thing or not to the column; you'll have to wait until the October issue of Overload. Regardless, in order to speak with authority on the issue I wanted to be able to replicate the condition.
I tried a number of things, none of which I had much hope of success, including:
- redirecting to a new file on a full drive - the file cannot be created
- redirecting to a read-only file - the shell spots this before the redirected process
- emulating piping to a broken pipe - seems (I didn't investigate thoroughly) that the receiving program's buffering prevents strict failure being reported back in the producer process
Finally, I realised that I'd have to resort to my first idea: writing to a file on a (very nearly) full drive.
The first problem is how to get hold of a nearly full drive. Although I build my development machines with multiple partitions, it's not always convenient to fill a local hard drive. So instead, I chose a USB memory stick drive. I used an 8GB stick, becoming directory
/media/XXXXXXX on Linux (where XXXXXXX is either an arbitrary alphanum string that I assumed to be the stick serial number) or drive
J: on Windows.
Having obtained a drive to play with, the next thing is to try and nearly fill it. The idea was to fill it except for 10-20 bytes, which would then be available for a new file redirected from the process that was to experience standard output write failure, so that I could do something like the following:
> example_program > J:\\too-small
Filling the drive was easy, using the tool crfile, which creates file of arbitrary length. The problem I had was almost filling it and leaving just a few bytes. I found that the minimum size space I could leave was 32kB.
Very quickly I realised I was being a dumbo, and forgetting about file allocation granularities. It's been a long time since I did OS theory at Uni, but of course a USB memory stick will have a minimum file allocation size!
So, rather than try and write to a new file with very few bytes remaining, I could instead create a file with nearly the last remaining 32kB on the disk
> crfile J:\\too-small 32760
and then append to it, as in:
> example_program <strong>>></strong> J:\\too-small
Now it fails to write to (and then flush) the standard output stream anything longer than 8-bytes, which is what I needed to demonstrate for the column.

Why Openness Leads To Greater Innovation: The Friction Of The Hold Up Problem
from the the-hold-up-problem deptThere's an article over at GigaOm that's discussing some of the economics of open source software, specifically in relation to the development of Flash, and as a way to explain why Apple is so anti-Flash. But the key point of the article, a reminder of the so-called "hold-up problem" in economics, which basically shows the additional transaction costs associated with having to rely on another party:
The reason is based on what economists call "the hold up problem." When a business relies on assets owned by another party, it may become dependent on that party's cooperation in the future. In this situation, the party with ownership of a key resource may gain the ability to "hold up" its partner, demanding an unreasonably high price. Hold up becomes a problem especially when a business needs to make large capital investments that assume future cooperation from the owner of a complementary asset.While the article goes on to explain why the problem is particularly an issue in IT, and why that explains why so many companies rely on open source software (to avoid the hold up problem), it actually is a good explanation for the friction and higher transaction costs involved in all sorts of innovation that relies on solutions that are locked up either via copyright or patents.
The biggest conceptual mistake that people have in thinking that copyright and patents lead to greater output or innovation is that they have trouble understanding the nature of dynamic creativity or innovation. It's tough to realize that innovation and creativity are both ongoing processes. There is no beginning, middle and end. They just keep going, and a single "flash of genius" is meaningless if it does not become a part of that dynamic flow. But the "hold up problem" described above gets in the way nearly every time if you have to rely on some other party -- such as a copyright holder or a patent holder -- to give their approval. It's why we so fear a permission-based culture that doesn't let such things move forward. Each time that it happens, it not only slows down both creativity and innovation, but adds additional wasteful transaction costs that are a dead weight loss to society.
These cases are the norm. Research has shown time and time again that it's the ongoing process that matters, not any particular element of it. And to make that ongoing process keep moving forward, you need less friction, not more. The hold-up problem shows how friction decreases a market from functioning properly, and in many, many cases, both patents and copyright serve to do one main thing: to add a hold-up problem where none need exist. In other words, they serve to add friction to the processes of creativity and innovation, rather than to take away friction. That should be seen as a serious problem.

Butler police say a 17-year-old boy is facing charges after he accidentally shot himself in the arm this week.
But certain details about the shooting apparently remain unclear. Investigators said the boy, who they did not identify, also initially lied to them about what happened.
Police learned of the shooting shortly after noon Tuesday when they were called to the Butler Memorial Hospital emergency room where the teen was being treated for a gunshot wound.
Officers spoke to his parents, who advised them their son had been shot the previous night, purportedly during a stickup.
Police at the hospital spoke to the boy, who claimed he was walking along railroad tracks on Negley Avenue in the city's Island neighborhood when an unknown male approached him.
The supposed stranger showed a gun and demanded money. The teen said when he refused, he was shot.
Police went to where he claimed he was shot but they found no evidence to substantiate his story.
The investigation continues, police said, and undetermined charges are pending against the boy. Police declined further comment.

My original plan was to use the next day to hike up the south side of Moosilauke, having done the north side a few years ago. However, fearful of the well-publicized difficulty of this hike
and the fact that I knew my legs already tired from vertical walking, I decided to spend the morning shopping for Shuttles birthday; and then do a simple, one-hour up and one-hour
Ive had many good hikes on The Trail, and a few wretched ones. The latter, no surprise, were due to bad decisions on my part (including not getting enough good information), so Im not going to get mad at anyone but myself.
Two of my worst A.T. experiences have taken place in New England (note that these sad tales are multi-page, so read them through for full effect):
The mere seven miles I had planned for Day Three were, I THOUGHT, going to be all downhill. I should have checked Guthook, as it was a 1400 foot climb to start my day. But it was at the START of another day with high dew points, so I survived the climb and began the trek downhill, back to Standing Bear. That went fine UNTIL I heard the thunder, followed by some rain (a little of that is actually refreshing BUT it was), followed by a downpour, and then followed by lightning flashes. It never ceases
More than once over the years Ive made the point that, if you ride in a car to the A.T., then your risk of dying from that activity is greater than your risk of a fatal bear attack.
For those who, unlike me, have a life, feel free to skip this paragraph.
For those interested, the latest stats are as follows:
Auto fatalities in 2017 were 1.16

On my last trek on The Trail -- which should have been a simple, 20-mile overnight -- I trusted the guide books that listed camping on Beautiful Spot GAP. On that one night out, I found no such camping areas on the GAP, at a time the wind was blowing hard and rain was threatening. So I just stealth camped, just off the trail, and got two hours of rain as I woke up.
Yes, there WAS plenty of camping sites on Beauty Spot itself, but a bald like that is NOT where you want to camp when the winds

Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace
From SourceWatch
The Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace is a public policy think tank and library founded in 1919 by U.S. President Herbert Hoover located at, and part of, Stanford University, his alma mater. Over time the Institution has amassed a large archive of documentation related to President Hoover, World War I, and World War II, specifically focusing on theories about the root causes of these wars.
The Hoover Institution mission statement [2] expresses the basic tenets for which it stands: representative government, private enterprise, peace, personal freedom, and the safeguards of the American system.
The Hoover Institution is influential in the American conservative and libertarian movements, and the Institution has long been a place of scholarship for high profile conservatives with government experience. A number of fellows have connections to or positions in the Bush administration, and other Republican administrations. A non-political figure who played a key role in the Bush Administration's Iraq policy, Retired Army Gen. John P. Abizaid, former commander of the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), recently joined the Hoover Institution (as the first Annenberg Distinguished Visiting Fellow) [3]. Other fellows of the Institution include such high profile conservatives as Condoleezza Rice, George Shultz, Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, and Edwin Meese.
Mission Statement
Now more than four decades old, Herbert Hoover's 1959 statement to the Board of Trustees of Stanford University on the purpose and scope of the Hoover Institution continues to guide and define its mission in the twenty-first century:
"This Institution supports the Constitution of the United States, its Bill of Rights and its method of representative government. Both our social and economic systems are based on private enterprise from which springs initiative and ingenuity.... Ours is a system where the Federal Government should undertake no governmental, social or economic action, except where local government, or the people, cannot undertake it for themselves.... The overall mission of this Institution is, from its records, to recall the voice of experience against the making of war, and by the study of these records and their publication, to recall man's endeavors to make and preserve peace, and to sustain for America the safeguards of the American way of life. This Institution is not, and must not be, a mere library. But with these purposes as its goal, the Institution itself must constantly and dynamically point the road to peace, to personal freedom, and to the safeguards of the American system."
The principles of individual, economic, and political freedom; private enterprise; and representative government were fundamental to the vision of the Institution's founder. By collecting knowledge, generating ideas, and disseminating both, the Institution seeks to secure and safeguard peace, improve the human condition, and limit government intrusion into the lives of individuals. [4]
About Herbert Hoover
In 1919, former president Herbert Hoover founded the Hoover Institution. Since then, the Institution has grown to be one of the most significant think-tanks on the West Coast. Orphaned at the age of ten, at seventeen, Hoover joined four hundred students at Stanford University for inaugural ceremonies that opened the university on October 1, 1891. After graduating in Stanford's pioneer class in 1895, he would go on to become a successful mining engineer, generous benefactor, well-known humanitarian, prominent statesman, and president of the United States.
In 1914, Herbert Hoover was living and working in London, England, when World War I broke out in Europe. He immediately became involved with assisting American travelers who were fleeing the war zone. With the German invasion of the neutral nation of Belgium, Hoover was asked to create a private humanitarian relief agency to assist Belgium's civilian population, which was accustomed to importing 80 percent of its food. The German occupation and the Allied naval blockade threatened famine and death by starvation to this country's citizens.
During this time, Hoover read, and was influenced by, an autobiography of Andrew White, a distinguished historian, diplomat, and the first president of Cornell University. White had assembled a vast collection of documents pertaining to the French Revolution that ultimately contributed to one of the best accounts of this historic event. Hoover then realized that he was in a unique position to collect fugitive information about the Great War that was then unfolding. It was this idea and vision that would lead the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace into becoming the largest private repository of documents on twentieth-century political history.
In 1917, the United States entered the war, and Hoover, by now a famous humanitarian hero, returned stateside and was appointed by President Woodrow Wilson to become head of the newly created U.S. Food Administration. When the war ended in 1918, Hoover returned to Europe for almost a year as director-general of the American Relief Administration to organize the supply and distribution of food and relief materials to more than twenty nations affecting one-third of the population of Europe, thereby facilitating the emergence of stable economies in the war-torn region.
By 1920, Hoover and his family had returned to his alma mater, building a handsome house on the Stanford campus. However, in 1921, President-Elect Warren Harding recruited Hoover to become secretary of commerce. While traditionally a lowly cabinet position, the popular Hoover quickly established himself as one of the most prominent people in American public life. When President Calvin Coolidge succeeded President Harding, Herbert Hoover was asked to continue his service in the same capacity.
In 1928, when President Coolidge declined to run for a second term of office, Herbert Hoover was urged to become the Republican candidate and was eventually elected as the 31st president of the United States. In his first year of office, an economic crisis ensued with the stock market crash of October 1929. The onslaught of the Great Depression led to Franklin D. Roosevelt's successful presidential campaign in 1932. Herbert Hoover and family returned to their Stanford home in 1933.
Hoover War Collection
In 1919, Herbert Hoover pledged $50,000 to Stanford University to support his Hoover War Collection. He was also personally responsible for most of the gifts during the early founding, as well as for decades thereafter. The collection flourished in the early years and in 1922 was renamed the Hoover War Library. While it was physically housed within the Stanford Library, the collection was kept separate. By 1926, it was legitimately described as the largest library in the world dealing with the Great War. By 1929, the library contained 1.4 million items, and physical space became an issue during the troubling times of the Great Depression. Finally, in 1938, a building plan was unveiled for Hoover Tower. The tower, reaching a height of 285 feet, was completed in 1941--the fiftieth anniversary of Stanford University.
By 1946, the agenda of the Hoover War Library had extended significantly to include research activities, and thus the organization was renamed the Hoover Institute and Library on War, Revolution and Peace. Herbert Hoover was now living in New York City and allowing his Stanford residence to be used by Stanford's president. He would later donate his home to the university for such use. Nonetheless, Hoover remained integrally involved in the Hoover Institute and Library as a significant benefactor, fund-raiser, and principal provider of guiding inspiration.
Indeed, in 1956 a major funding campaign was launched, with Herbert Hoover leading the effort. The development of the enterprise was so prominent that in 1957 it was again renamed as the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace, the name it holds today. [5]

Task Forces
As an enterprise steeped in academic tradition, the Hoover Institution seeks to determine how it can provide meaningful information and advice on public policy. By recruiting extraordinary intellectual talent, Hoover is able to convene scholars (both resident and nonresident) who combine their efforts in a task force—or "virtual faculty"—with specific well-defined objectives. These task force strategies are a new way to organize the Institution's research by leveraging Hoover's intellectual assets. The task forces organize Hoover fellows and other scholars into teams working on commonly defined topics and integrated projects rather than individual fellows working independently. The task force strategies emphasize a collective approach that focuses on the Institution's research agenda. The task forces concentrate the Institution's scholarly resources on relatively narrow—although important—policy issues and empower the teams of scholars to participate strategically with the director in defining the ideas to emanate from the task forces. Using its ability to recruit extraordinary intellectual talent, the Hoover Institution organizes this talent in a new way: combining them into task forces to address specific research topics. The task forces emphasize a collective approach (rather than the more traditional individual methodology) to work on commonly defined topics and projects.

two quotes for today
1. from Marshall McLuhan's War and Peace in the Global Village (1968)
It may be simplest to say at once that the real use of the computer is not to reduce staff or costs, or to speed up or smooth out anything that has been going on. Its true function is to program and orchestrate terrestrial and galactic environments and energies in a harmonious way. For centuries the lack of symmetry and proportion in all these areas has created a sort of universal spastic condition for lack of inter-relation among them. In merely terrestrial terms, programming the environment means, first of all, a kind of console for global thermostats to pattern all sensory life in a way conducive to comfort and happiness. Till now, only the artist has been permitted the opportunity to do this in the most puny fashion. The mass media, so-called, have offered new materials for the artist, but the understanding has been lacking. The computer abolishes the human past by making it entirely present. It makes natural and necessary dialogue among cultures which is as intimate as private speech, yet dispensing entirely with speech. While bemoaning the decline of literacy and the obsolescence of the book, the literati have typically ignored the imminence of the decline in speech itself. The individual word, as a store of information and feeling is already yielding to macroscopic gesticulation.

He recently completed his PhD at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, studying certain ways in which partially ordered sets can be used in the mathematical area of Lie algebra representation theory. Outside of math, he enjoys roasting (and drinking!) coffee, golf, and swimming. He and his wife welcomed their first child this past May.
The whole numbers have a familiar order to them: 1 is less than 2 which is less than 3, and so on. Moreover, any two whole numbers can be compared to each other in this order; that is, one will be less than the other. Do orders exist on other collections where two objects can be incomparable? Yes! For example, the CEO of a company is "greater than" every other employee in the company hierarchy, but two employees chosen at random may not be comparable in the hierarchy. A collection with such an order is called a partially ordered set, or poset for short, and it will be the primary focus of this talk. We will explore some basic concepts involving posets, emphasizing examples. We will also show how posets can be used to visually illuminate structure to help solve some interesting but deceptively difficult mathematical problems. The goal will be to always present ideas as visually as possible, and no prior mathematical knowledge will be needed.
Designed for a broad audience, Longwood's Math and Computer Science Colloquium Series explores ideas, developments and careers in the fields of mathematics, computer science and mathematics education. Learn more about the Colloquium Series

Madison Daily Leader: Augustana Freshman Wins Piano Award
More Than Just a Phase: Hunter Wins Piano Award
Carolyn Hunter recently put to rest a 30-year hiatus since the last time a Madison resident won the National Guild of Piano Teachers High School Diploma.
Carolyn, 18, competed this August in Sioux Falls for the Guild's High School Diploma by performing 15 selections -- 10 pieces, or songs, and 5 phases -- from memory.
Her mother, Mary Hunter, won the same award in 1978. Mary has taught piano since 1990 and is the now chairperson of Madison's Guild chapter. She doesn't know of anyone in town who has done the Guild's High School Diploma competition since 1978.
Hunter, a freshman at Augustana College majoring in pre-nursing, said she prepared for the competition for about a year. Her mother, grandmother Dorothy Christopherson and Augustana piano instructor Arlene Krueger helped her along the way.
Winning the Guild's High School Diploma is an unusual accomplishment, Mary Hunter said, because the standards are raised.
"Although there is some flexibility in the pieces chosen, the final program needs to be approved by the Guild headquarters in Austin, Texas," she said. "It's a huge undertaking."
Krueger said the competition had a certain repertoire, and selections to play were chosen carefully.
"It's a very extensive audition," Krueger said, who has been at Augustana for 22 years.
Hunter said her application for the competition was submitted in December 2007 during her senior year at Madison High School. Her pieces included a Bach Prelude and Fugue from the Well-Tempered Clavier and a Mozart Sonata. She also played pieces composed by Claude Debussy, Francis Poulenc, Frederic Chopin, Edvard Grieg and George Gershwin. Her phases consisted of all major and minor scales including contrary motions, chords/cadences/modulations, transposing, sight-reading and ear-training.
The competition was privately held at the judge's home and was only between the judge and the student, Hunter said. She found out right after her performance that she had passed.
"I was really excited," she said. "My mom and I got in the car and honked the horn."
She said earning the Guild's High School Diploma was a "good sense of accomplishment."
"We're really, really proud of her," said her mother, who waited with Christopherson in another room during the audition.
Hunter's achievement comes after a lifetime of practicing the piano. She grew up playing a Kawaii grand piano purchased by her parents, Jon and Mary Hunter, in 1992.
"I've been taking lessons since kindergarten, but I've played with my mom even before that and my grandma," she said.
Hunter has a piano scholarship to Augustana and continues to take lessons and perform. She is also in the flute choir and sings in the Augustana choir.
"I've been in band and I've been in choir, but piano's always been my main instrument and the family instrument," Hunter said.
"I just think playing the piano is a lifelong enjoyment even if it's just for herself," her mother said. "I'm just really glad she's able to play as well as she does."
Hunter has participated in the Guild for 13 years and has taken lessons from another Madison Guild teacher, Colleen Tucker.
"[The Guild] allows kids of all abilities to perform for a judge. They can play from their music or from their memory," said Mary Hunter, who works as a nurse at the Madison Community Hospital with home health and hospice.
The function of the Guild is to establish goals and awards for piano students of all levels, Mary Hunter noted, and determine direction and a measurement for success in music study. She said Guild competitions are noncompetitive and students are graded on their ability in areas such as accuracy, rhythm, style and technique.

Justice Scalia thinks that
hearing modern hard rock with its "noise and ugliness" might constitute cruel and unusual punishment as envisioned in the Constitution.
Juris Rocktor begs to differ. In fact, I believe Scalia once went so far as to quote Anthrax's "I Am The Law," when ruling that the death penalty is "totally badass."

We've thought for some time that the next 24 hours will be when the beta of Windows 7 breaks cover; a result of tonight's Steve Ballmer keynote at CES (18.30 PST, 02.30 GMT).
But rumours circulating around CES seem to be suggesting that this beta will be the only beta release, with a Release Candidate appearing in the second half of the year.
Windows Vista had two beta releases, the second being publicly available. The Windows 7 beta will be available to all, too.
We've also heard tell that this may mean a pre-Christmas launch, following on from a Q3 RTM (Release To Manufacturing) date. However our money is still on the end of January for the full launch. That would be a full three years after the launch of Windows Vista and seems the most likely option to us.
One thing is for sure; the headlines of this CES are certainly up for grabs, so expect much more detail on Windows 7 in the keynote. After an underwhelming Macworld speech, excitement is what we're all looking for (though LG's watch was pretty cool). As you'd expect, TechRadar will bring you the full skinny, including a keynote report and full analysis.

YouTube is a great resource for tracking down videos on all matter of topics. Whether you're looking for reviews of the latest hardware, music videos, old advertisements or almost anything else you can think of, there's hours of fun to be had browsing through the latest uploads. But using YouTube requires that you are online - or at least that is the case if you do not have Easy YouTube Video Downloader.
This is a browser extension that is available for Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera - Internet Explorer users are out of luck, unfortunately - which makes it possible to download YouTube videos so they can be watched when you are offline. Unlike other tools that can be used for much the same purpose, as Easy YouTube Video Downloader is an extension, there is no need to leave your browser to download a video.
Once the extension is installed, a new button is added to the page of every video on YouTube. When you click it you are presented with the option of downloading the video in a variety of different formats ranging from MP3 to 360p MP4. When available, high definition versions of videos can also be downloaded.
When downloading, the title of the video is used as the file name by default, but this can be easily changed if required. The extension lives up to its name, making it incredibly easy to download videos without the need to fiddle with separate programs or copy and paste lengthy URLs.

2 female Southampton police sergeants file discrimination claim
Two female Southampton Town police sergeants have filed state complaints against the town and the police department, claiming they were discriminated against because of their gender, according to the town attorney.
Sgt. Lisa Costa -- the head of the department's detectives division -- and Sgt. Susan Ralph filed the discrimination complaints with the New York State Division of Human Rights earlier this month, claiming that department officials engaged in a discriminatory "course of conduct" involving promotions and assignments, Town Attorney Tiffany Scarlato said Wednesday.
"At this point they're merely allegations," Scarlato said.
The state Human Rights Division would neither confirm nor deny that the complaints were filed, as is policy, a department spokeswoman said.
If the state determines there is probable cause for the complaints, it will hold hearings on the claims, the spokeswoman said.
The town will be permitted to respond to the allegations.
"We do cooperate with these investigations," Scarlato said.
After any hearings, an administrative judge could dismiss the claim or recommend a monetary award, fines against the department, or policy changes and additional training.
Complainants can also go to civil court.
Former Southampton Town Police Chief William Wilson promoted Costa to the title of "acting lieutenant" last year after the town board failed to respond to his recommendation to officially promote her, according to town records.
Wilson resigned in December and was replaced by Chief Robert Pearce. After the change in leadership, Costa's title was changed back to sergeant, records show.
Neither Costa nor Ralph could be reached for comment. Their lawyer, Leonard Leeds of Carle Place, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Pearce also could not immediately be reached.
The town's police department is the largest police force on the East End, with more than 100 officers.

To all Los Angeles beer lovers, if your liver hasn't run away yet, there are still a few more days of LA Beer Week left to celebrate the bubbly, malty — or hoppy — brew.
LA Beer Week, which kicked off its fifth year on Sept. 19 with more than 200 participating restaurants, bars and breweries, has more than two dozen events left until it concludes its 10-day run on Sunday. And the best is yet to come, participants said.
"It's very grass roots and has grown exponentially," LA Beer Week spokesman Randy Clemens said. "But while it's gotten bigger and bigger, we really are trying to shy away from being like any other beer fest. We want it to be an experience rather than just a drinking fest where you get samples, pound them and get drunk."
Buddies Jay Baum and Dennis Hartman started LA Beer Week in 2009 and it has now become known as one of the most popular events of its kind in Los Angeles County. It attracts brewers from all over the country to show off their beers in venues in the South Bay to the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys and as far up as Lancaster.
On Saturday, a homebrewing demonstration is slated at Eagle Rock Brewery and three breweries — North Coast, Deschutes and Rogue — are celebrating their 25th anniversary this year with a special barleywine-style ale, which will be on tap at Stuffed Sandwich in San Gabriel.
Among the events to close out the week is the Spring Street Smokehouse Rib Eating Contest hosted by Angel City Brewery on Sunday in downtown Los Angeles.
Also, Take the Black Stout, the second beer in Brewery Ommegang's collaborative series with HBO's "The Game of Thrones" will make its L.A. debut Sunday at the Blue Palms Brew House and The Fonda Theatre rooftop terrace in Hollywood.
"The beers by Ommegang are great, but to team up with 'Game of Thrones' really makes this unique," said Brian Lenzo, owner of Blue Palms Brew House.
Lenzo said they are expecting about 300 guests who are encouraged to come dressed as one of the characters from the HBO series. "It's exciting to put both the craft beer movement and the popular HBO show together like this," Lenzo said. "You won't get anything like it."
Unique brunches are also planned for the weekend, Clemens said.
On Sunday in Sherman Oaks, for instance, brunchgoers can enjoy a six-course meal at Boneyard Bistro where each plate is paired with a beer rather than champagne, the typical go-to brunch bubbly.
"For the longest time people associated beer with dark and light beer, but people are starting to see that there's something these breweries are standing for," Clemens said.
Newer breweries from Smog City to Monkish, Phantom Carriage and Strand Brewing Company — all based in Torrance — are just a few to thank, Clemens said.
"They're not trying to dumb things down," he said. "Instead, they're making something different and unique that they're proud of and people can support."

10 January 2014
This report presents the first study undertaken on the impacts of energy on human development in Kosovo. The key objective of the report is to contribute inputs to future policy and management decision-making in the energy sector that will support economically, socially and environmentally sustainable energy development in Kosovo. To this end, the preparation for the report sought to gain a better understanding of the relationship between energy supply and the consumption of energy services in the household sector, which in Kosovo is the main consumer of electricity, firewood and district heating services.

- Conclusion
- All Pages
Point of View / TGT launched its first overclocked GTX 680 and called it Ultra Charged (model TGT-680-A1-2-UC). The card brings several improvements compared to the reference GTX 680. We'll start with what may be the most important detail for most users – special triple-fan cooling. In idle mode, the cooler is almost inaudible and it remains quiet under load as well. The only downside would be the fact that it takes up three slots, but the silence is worth it. Most overclocked GTX 680 cards get loud when the GPU is working hard, but not GTX 680 Ultra Charged.
Another important thing that the Ultra Charged's GPU runs at 1110MHz. Only a few GTX 680 cards boast GPU clock of over 1100MHz. In order to supply the card with enough power, TGT threw in a 6-pin and an 8-pin connectors and added another phase for the GPU.
GPU comes overclocked but the memory runs at reference clocks. Although the memory isn't difficult to overclock, we'd still rather see TGT do it, because the card would outpace almost all the GTX 680s around.
GTX 680 Ultra Charged is currently listed some €90 higher than reference cards go for, here. This may be considered a bit steep and we believe that a price tag some €60 over the reference card sounds much more reasonable. If you're looking for silent cooling, then this card is made for you. If you want an overclocked GTX 680, then again the answer is Ultra Charged. Furthermore, TGT made a sweet selection of chips, where only low leakage GPUs ended up on the Ultra Charged, where higher GPU boost clocks are a direct result.

One of his suggestions to improve the Sox offense:
Vernon Wells, Blue Jays: The Sox already got Alex Rios from Toronto, so how about adding Wells as well?The Blue Jays aren't drawing flies at Rogers Centre, and Wells has a nightmarish contract – $12.5 million this season, $23 million next year, $21 million in 2013 and $21 million in 2014.
Wells has an opt-out clause after next season, but why would he walk away from all of that money?
Other suggestions are Carl Crawford, Raul Ibanez, Daniel Murphy, Chris Iannetta and Jermaine Dye. Where's Carl Everett Scot?

There are goats. And then there are goats. Get a load of what Saint Joseph's junior forward Halil Kanacevic did during last night's loss to Philly rival Villanova. He shit the bed during the game's final two minutes, but he also made it easy for everyone to dog him for it because he had given the Villanova student section the bird earlier in the game. That's great hustle.
Here's the Bucks County Courier Times:
There are times when it is tough to put your finger on the turning point of a particular game. But when Hawks junior forward Halil Kanacevic celebrated his only made basket of the night—a go-ahead, 3-pointer with 10 minutes left in regulation—with an extended middle finger salute to the Villanova student section behind the basket, you could feel the entire energy level of the Pavilion get thrust into overdrive.
Officials didn't see it and later told [Villanova coach Jay] Wright that they couldn't do anything about it because no physical contact was made. But suddenly, a disinterested crowd had a pretty good buzz to it every time Kanacevic touched the basketball.
Other reports have indicated that Kanacevic raised two middle fingers. The AP photo you see above managed to capture him unfurling one of them. Whatevs. We had us a ballgame. Never mind that Kanacevic's only field goal of the game would come on that one lone basket. Saint Joe's led by five with 2:13 to play. That's when Kanacevic really went to work. Behold this, from the Philadelphia Daily News:
Kanacevic fouled [James] Bell 25 feet from the basket. Bell calmly made a pair. Kanacevic threw a backdoor pass to Galloway into a very tight window. Bell stole it. After a Daniel Ochefu follow basket, Kanacevic was fouled with 45.8 seconds left. Shooting into that student section, now completely crazed, he missed a pair.
Bell hit a three from the left corner. After an ugly SJU possession, the Hawks ended up with the ball on the sideline in the deep right corner with 3 seconds left, trailing by two points, without a timeout. Nobody was open. Kanacevic, fearful of a 5-second call, threw it off Mo Sutton. The ball caromed over the sideline, hitting Kanacevic. Turnover. Bell two free throws. Game over.
For those keeping score, that's a stupid foul, an errant pass, two missed free throws, and a botched inbounds pass. A clutch performance that came with its own salute.
Update (6:32 p.m.): Saint Joe's has slapped Kanacevic with a two-game suspension.

Christmas is just over a month away and retailers should already have their festive marketing plans in action.
Marketing company Responsys has even warned Australian retailers that they only have until November 19 to roll out their competitive offerings or they face losing out to their US counterparts.
But what if you just haven't quite got everything in order?
If you're running a bit behind schedule, focus on these four killer points to help your business be up and running for the holiday season.
1. Create focused and engaging email campaigns.
Director of insights and planning at Responsys, Tim Beveridge, said companies should be focusing on creating engaging email campaigns to beat out post-Thanksgiving and Black Friday offers from the US:
Marketers need to plan campaigns will milestones in mind. Reminders such as '12 Days left until Christmas' and 'last day for free delivery' can help lift conversion rates.
The number of emails combined with weight of chatter in social and mainstream media about Thanksgiving sales will entice Aussie consumers to spend.
Smart Aussie retailers will start aggressive marketing campaigns in advance of this to avoid losing sales off-shore in this key retail period.
2. Flaunt local advantages.
Yes, retailers will be competing against foreign stores that are likely offering cheaper prices… But can these foreign stores ship products as quickly as local companies? Do they offer a secure, local returns scheme in case of a faulty or wrong sized purchase?
Local stores offer huge advantages over foreign ones and now is the time to remind consumers of this. Many buyers can still be nervous about purchasing from overseas, especially given pending Christmas deadlines, so Beveridge says now is the time to flaunt what advantages you have:
Local retailers can use their natural advantages of being a trusted brand, offering fast or guaranteed delivery, pick-up and returns at local stores and having local call centres and in-sync seasonal ranges to out-manoeuvre the international monsters.
3. Ensure websites are mobile friendly.
Google's latest trend report showed a 20% spike in shopping related searches, with 40% of these searches coming from mobile devices.
Surprisingly, current stats point to only 1 in 3 Australian retail sites being mobile friendly, which means retailers need to make their sites smartphone and tablet friendly to maximise sales.
Google's Retail Head, Ross McDonald, says having a mobile friendly site is absolutely vital this Christmas season because even those who are buying in-store often do their research online, and on smartphones.
Not having a mobile website is like operating a shop but closing the door 40% of the time.
On a big screen people do their product research, then they use a mobile to work out where they're going to go, when the store is open and what offers they have.
McDonald also points out that it isn't too late for retailers to make their site mobile as searches are due to "ramp up" in December and suggests that if retailers are unsure how to start the process, they should maybe visit Google's howtogomo site for initial advice.
4. Offer discounts, free shipping and free returns.
Now is the perfect time for retailers to be offering free shipping, free returns and discount codes.
We know from previous reports that retailers shipping prices and return policies are incredibly important to consumers and Amy Ostrowski from Google's retail team suggests using the holiday season to entice customers with discounts:
Consumers expect special deals on pricing and shipping (free shipping, specifically, is widely expected by online consumers). Especially with Target joining the ranks of other price-matching retailers (which was recently announced by Internet Retailer) it's imperative that any discounts or competitive offerings are highlighted on your site and in your ad copy.
Similarly, jump on the flash sale bandwagon and offer significant discounts on products for a limited time. Doing this creates a sense of urgency and encourages consumer to buy more, and fast – something already being explored by the upcoming Click Frenzy.
All said, there's a lot of quick wins for retailers to make. However, the sense of urgency is fairly apparent, given the shortness of time…

Thank you
Hello, I was wondering if you had received the camera and digital back yet and if you had time to evaluate it. I'm looking to buy the same outfit from the same company and would love to hear how it performs and especially how the files come out. How big one could print from the 22 megapixel back and how the body works.
Let me know if you could share some details.

PARIS — What does Google know about its users and how does it know it? European privacy regulators on Tuesday warned the company to clarify those issues — or risk fines or other penalties by early next year.
In a letter to Larry Page, the chief executive of Google, 27 European data-protection agencies asked the company to modify its global privacy policy that governs dozens of Google online services — including the flagship search engine, Android mobile phone apps and YouTube videos — so that users have a clearer understanding of what personal data is being collected and can better control how that information is shared with advertisers.
Along with other Internet companies like Facebook and Microsoft, Google collects personal data, like the sex and age of users and their Web browsing histories, in order to tailor their services to individual users and also to sell ads.
When Google introduced the privacy policy last winter, it described it as a way to streamline its use of personal data across a range of services that were each previously covered by separate privacy guidelines. And in keeping with European privacy law, Google said it was collecting the data only if users "opted in." But opting in essentially became a requirement of using each of the services, by clicking the "I Agree" button before using the service for the first time, after the new policy went into effect.
Analysts say the impact on Google's business of accepting the regulators' recommendations depends on whether customers readily accept having to opt into a more detailed privacy policy. If large numbers of users opt out, Google's advertising revenue would suffer.
European privacy regulators had expressed concern last winter about the new procedures and had asked Google to delay implementing them. After the company declined, the European Commission asked France's privacy agency to take the lead on a legal analysis, which resulted in the warning letter Tuesday to Mr. Page.
The privacy regulators said Google provided users with incomplete disclosure about its processing and storage of the data, as well as insufficient control over how information from different Google services is blended to build detailed personal profiles. Google also makes it too cumbersome for users to block the collection of these data, the regulators said.
"The new privacy policy allows an unprecedented combination of data across different Google services," Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin, chairwoman of the French data-protection authority, said at a news conference in Paris. "We are not opposed to this, in principle, but the data could be employed in ways that the user is not aware of."
Ms. Falque-Pierrotin, whose agency, called CNIL, conducted an investigation of the policy change on behalf of the other European Union data-protection authorities, said she would give Google "three to four months" to make changes. If the company refuses, she and other officials said, the data-protection authorities might take legal action or impose fines.
Google said it was reviewing the letter and an accompanying report from the data-protection authorities, but added that it was confident that the new policy respected European Union law.
"Our new privacy policy demonstrates our longstanding commitment to protecting our users' information and creating great products," Peter Fleischer, the Google global privacy counsel, said in a statement.
The letter to Mr. Page is only the latest addition to a growing list of regulatory headaches for Google. Antitrust officials at the European Commission are investigating whether Google has used its search engine to favor its own services and through preferential rankings to put competitors at a disadvantage. A similar inquiry is under way at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.
David Vladeck, the F.T.C.'s director of consumer protection, met last week in Brussels with Ms. Falque-Pierrotin, said Cecelia Prewett, an F.T.C. spokeswoman. She declined to divulge what they discussed.
On privacy, Google has been under growing scrutiny since it acknowledged in 2010 that it had collected private data on individuals when it took photographs for its Street View mapping feature. Regulators in several countries, including the United States and France, have fined Google in connection with this practice; criminal and civil investigations are still open in Germany.
"There's a collective concern being expressed by different regulatory agencies in many parts of the world about the use of information online," said Joel Reidenberg, director of the Center on Law and Information Policy at Fordham University in New York. "As the trend goes this way, we can expect to see more of these kinds of concerns expressed and a decreasing hesitancy about taking action."
While European Union lawmakers are working on an overhaul of the bloc's data-protection rules, with an eye toward updating them for the borderless era of the Internet, enforcement remains a matter for national regulators. In France, CNIL has the power to fine companies as much as €300,000, or about $390,000, for privacy breaches. In some countries, data protection agencies can bring criminal complaints; in others, it cannot.
Given this fragmentation, analysts said it was striking that the national regulators, acting at the request of an advisory panel created by the European Commission, had come together to issue a joint letter to Google.
"On the one hand, this is the first time all the European data-protection agencies have acted together as a group to tell a company that its actions are unacceptable," Mr. Reidenberg said. "On the other hand, there is a bit of a mixed message, because they are refraining from taking any immediate action."
Coordinating such regulations and enforcement across continents is even more difficult, especially when cultural differences intrude, like in the perceived greater attachment to privacy in Europe than in, say, the United States. But regulators and Internet companies say greater alignment is desirable at a time when digital communications zip across borders and companies like Google operate on an ever more global scale.
Jacob Kohnstamm, chairman of the European Commission's data-protection panel, said that regulators in Canada and some Asian countries had participated in the investigation, in an effort to give the inquiry an intercontinental scope. He and Ms. Falque-Pierrotin said the European regulators had also consulted with the F.T.C., though the U.S. agency did not sign the letter to Mr. Page.
In the letter, the European officials said Google's new policy allowed the company to "combine almost any data from any service for any purpose."
The regulators asked Google to give consumers more visibility over how their data is collected, used and combined, saying one possibility might be to create "interactive online presentations." The regulators also chided Google for failing to specify how long it kept certain kinds of data, and urged the company to make it easier for users to "opt out" if they did not want their information gathered.
The regulators also said Google did not distinguish between data of different levels of sensitivity, saying the company attached the same importance to credit card numbers or the contents of a search query, for example. And they said so-called passive users of Google services — that is, those who use a Google feature embedded in a third-party Web site — often are provided with no information on Google's data policies.
Jeff Gould, the president of SafeGov, a group in San Francisco that represents companies selling software and hardware to governments, said Google's "approach is that we can take anything we learn from you from our services to build a profile of a user to serve targeted ads."
"My view is that is a completely legitimate model, if you give the consumer the opportunity to opt out," he said.
Analysts say Google needed to change its policy to keep pace with rivals like Apple and Facebook, whose services are more integrated than Google's. Ms. Falque-Pierrotin countered that greater transparency could actually be a competitive advantage for Google.
Google's new privacy policy requires users to accept it before being able to use the full range of services, rather than approving individual uses of their data, as the European regulators would like. Whether this would dissuade them from using Google services is not clear.
"If Google did that responsibly, I don't think it would kill their business," Mr. Gould said. "But that is the 64,000-terabyte question."

58 days. A favorite in Italy, these flat and wide
snap beans aren't available in most
grocery stores. Once you taste their
delicious nutty flavor you'll wish you
could grow them year round. The
4"-5" long pods are slow to develop
fiber and seeds so they're nice and
tender. Roma II is delicious eaten
fresh, and is an excellent variety for
freezing or canning.
This packet sows one 10-foot row.
Seedling Image
Days to Emerge:
Seed Depth:
Seed Spacing:
Row Spacing:
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after average last frost and when temperatures are warm. To produce beans all season, sow a new crop every 7 - 14 days up to 60 days before first fall frost. NOTE: In very hot summer areas, sow in March for June harvest, and August for late September harvest.
When to start inside: Not recommended.
Harvesting: Snap beans are ready to pick when the pod "snaps" or breaks in half cleanly. This is when seeds have just begun to form and the pods are 4" - 5" long. Hold stem with one hand, and the pod with the other hand to avoid pulling off branches which may continue to produce. At season's end, plants are great compost material if not diseased.

Canucks bit by Sharks' late finish in San Jose's 2-1 overtime win
OT heartbreak: Vancouver was 65 seconds away from 'perfect' — too bad close doesn't count
Vancouver Canucks' centre Henrik Sedin (33) on the puck in front of San Jose Sharks' goalie Antti Niemi (31 and defenceman Dan Boyle (22).

VANCOUVER — Mathematically, it is possible to win a game by scoring only once. Look at soccer. Heck, in the National Hockey League, you can win without scoring at all, as long as you have the circus skills to win the contrived breakaway contest at the end.
So, when Kevin Bieksa scored on the power play late in the second period Thursday, the Vancouver Canucks had a chance. All they needed was for the defending, goaltending and penalty-killing to be perfect.
The San Jose Sharks make it hard for anyone to be perfect, and the Canucks were not. They lost 2-1 on Dan Boyle's overtime power-play goal, a few minutes after Boyle's flubbed shot trickled to Tomas Hertl for the Sharks' tying goal with 1:05 remaining in regulation time.
It was the third straight game the Canucks scored once. It was also their third straight loss against a rival from the National Hockey League's Pacific Division.

"Not frustrated, just pissed off not to get the second (goal) to go up 2-0," Bieksa said. "We're getting lots of shots on net. We had 35-plus again and it's only a matter of time before they're going to go in.
"Burr is close. Santorelli and Higgy are close. We can't get frustrated. We're getting chances, getting shots."
But their fiercest rivals are getting points.
Including their 1-2-1 tour of the Pacific that ended Sunday, the Canucks have lost a net four points against the top four teams in their division.
Alex Burrows, goal-less in nine games this season, missed the net on a great scoring chance in the second period against the Sharks. So did Chris Higgins on what appeared to be a tap-in. So too, most surprisingly, did captain Henrik Sedin miss the net from about five feet out and San Jose goalie Antti Niemi absent.
"We've got to find a way to score more goals," Sedin understated. "We played a great game. We should have had a couple of more goals. We have to look at the way we played tonight."
Canuck coach John Tortorella said: "We played a really good hockey game. We end up getting tied on a fanned shot that goes to the young kid, Hertl. So you know what? It's a kick in the teeth to lose it. But looking at the big picture and some of the things we did against a pretty good hockey club, that is what we are going to take out of this game. We played a really good game right on through. We'll be on the other end of one of these."
Hopefully, a few of them.
A week ago, Bieksa was re-positioned on the power play. His new spot was on the bench.
"This isn't the first time in my career I've been taken off the power play," Bieksa said last Wednesday after a game in Phoenix. "I'm OK with it. I'll sit and wait for my turn and hopefully the power play can get going. They're going to try new things for sure."
Thursday, Tortorella tried Bieksa on the point on the first-unit power play. And Bieksa tried a point shot late in the second period that tumbled past Niemi, making a 1-0 Canuck win seem possible.
A few days ago, winger David Booth was in Utica, which is somewhere in New York. A few days from now? Hard to say. But Thursday, the enigmatic winger with three goals in 39 games over parts of this season and the last two, was back in the Canuck lineup, skating on a rejigged third line that was bestowed solid ice time.
As the Canucks hopped past the quarter-pole in their schedule, they continue to be a land of opportunity. Roles are changeable, lines fluid.
The objective as always, despite Tortorella's insistence on revving his top players beyond conventional red lines at which their engines would break, is to find enough balance in the team to make the Canucks multi-dimensional and less reliant than they have been on the first-line scoring of Ryan Kesler and the brothers Sedin, Danny and Hank.
The connection between Booth and Bieksa is this: if the Canucks are to not only survive their brutal division but go anywhere when they get to the playoffs, they'll need scoring from its power play and its third line. They'll need something more than the Sedins and Kesler, and goalie Roberto Luongo and a defence that is experienced and well-rounded.
They'll need more than the one goal.
Given all that we've seen the last two years, it would be naïve to count on Booth being much help until he shows that he can score like he did long ago in Florida. On his first shift Thursday, he failed to hit the target from the low slot on a perfect cross-ice pass from Zack Kassian.
The power play, however, has more upside. And the return soon from a shoulder injury of two-way winger Jannik Hansen – possibly Sunday's game against the Dallas Stars – should pay far more reliable dividends than the return from a minor-league conditioning stint of Booth.
But still, even when this team is healthy, the Canucks still look a forward or two short. That will be general manager Mike Gillis' problem to fix, not Tortorella's.
