Yet countless eons of mythology, religion and science have brought us no closer to unlocking the mystery, and the best we can do as the human race is to say, "To each his own."
It is with a degree of similar awe that we stand today considering the Machine that Kevin Kelly described in his seminal 2005 essay, We Are The Web, a futuristic glimpse into what it is we're all building together with this thing called the World Wide Web. Dwarfing all efforts to create the ultimate science fiction "supercomputer," the web is a living and growing mass of artificial intelligence, and we are amazed and just a little bit scared.
In 10 years, the system will contain hundreds of millions of miles of fiber-optic neurons linking the billions of ant-smart chips embedded into manufactured products, buried in environmental sensors, staring out from satellite cameras, guiding cars, and saturating our world with enough complexity to begin to learn. We will live inside this thing.
Kelly went on to give the Machine a kind of Tower of Babel twist, because we're all building this thing together. We are the Machine. We are the web.
When we post and then tag pictures on the community photo album Flickr, we are teaching the Machine to give names to images. The thickening links between caption and picture form a neural net that can learn. Think of the 100 billion times per day humans click on a Web page as a way of teaching the Machine what we think is important. Each time we forge a link between words, we teach it an idea.
The word "link" is at the heart of all that is the web, and it is vastly more important than any of us realizes.
The idea of links and linking is Web 101, and it's overlooked in its significance by traditional media companies, whose best and brightest generally think of links as only a way to move people around our sites or connect our content to interested parties. But links and linking are the real currency of the web — with a value greater than cash — and one that might some day actually become a form of cash in a web-based economy.
There already is a dollar value placed on links, and it's found in the seedy underbelly of the Search Engine Optimization world. While the majority of industry practices are aboveboard, many companies clog the comment sections of blogs with false entries that create links for clients. Since search engine algorithms view links as a validation of influence, this actually raises the unscrupulous companies' clients in search engine rankings.
These same companies create sites known as "link farms" and build phoney blogs known as "splogs" in order to drive client rankings up the search engine chain through links. While the search engines are aware of this and take measures to block these kinds of tactics, it is still a thriving business. That's real dollars attached to links.
Digg, the popular social-bookmarking site, is built entirely on links to stories that the users vote on to determine ranking in the community. Here not only do the links have value, they function as the content of the site and are manipulated by core users in an endless popularity contest to see who can control the home page. Links have tremendous value here, because a single home-page link can mean thousands of unique visitors in a very short time.
Another popular social-bookmarking site, Del.icio.us is a place where people store — you guessed it — links.
Links have value. They are the currency of the web, and as the Machine gets smarter and is able to qualify and validate links, their value will increase. Like any other currency, they will be traded for goods and services. If you link to me, I should pay you for that, because it has real value to me. As media companies, we should think carefully about this.
A permanent link — or as least as permanent as the web permits — has the highest value, for it keeps on giving.
Technorati, the blog search engine, uses permanent links, in part, to measure authority — a website's ranking against others. Remember that links are considered a measure of influence, and this is an important metric in the Media 2.0 space.
For example, my blog (The Pomo Blog) is ranked at 14,498 of 71.6 million blogs that the company tracks. This isn't because I'm able to manipulate my way up the ladder; it's based on the links to my posts. As you can see, there are 463 links from 247 different blogs. The blogosphere itself determines the rankings based on its "acceptance" of the things I write about.
The only way to move up in ranking (if that's what's desired) is to write more posts, comment on other blogs, and generally behave like a grown-up. The Golden Rule is at work here, too, because the best way to get links is to give them. And all the while we're doing this, we're teaching Kevin Kelly's "Machine" to think.
Links from blogs are probably the most important reason for mainstream media companies to stay clear of pay walls in making their work available to the rest of the world. The Wall St. Journal, for example, is happy with the money from its corporate-paid subscription model, but the truth is the paper's stock as an influential voice in the culture can only go down. The Journal recognizes this and selects certain items that it offers to bloggers free daily in hopes of their links, but this is viewed by many as condescending and manipulative.
Technorati founder Dave Sifry regularly publishes data showing the most linked-to websites. The image below (click to enlarge) shows The New York Times is the top recipient of links and therefore the most influential information website in the world. The blue lines represent media companies (including Google and Yahoo); the red lines represent blogs.
This will all be monetized one day. The Machine will make it easy.
Two years ago, when Sifry first published this graph, The Times was on top with 33,000 inbound sources. In just 18 months, that had expanded to what's shown above, 84,414. This is an indication of not only growth in the online information space but also of the value of those links to The Times and its advertisers. That the paper puts its archives behind a pay wall kills many of those links, however, and sooner or later, they'll have to address the issue. The Machine has a long memory.
Another thing that's changed dramatically about this graph in two years is that the top 50 is almost entirely mainstream sources, whereas blogs made up about half in 2005. This is likely evidence of the awakening by these news organizations that's taken place since then, along with advances in the application of RSS and the distributed media culture.
The professional news industry is, of course, quite content to sit back and let others link to it. It's a traffic strategy. This despite the fact that many in the business criticize the linkers as parasites who build reputations and audience by linking to their work. This is an absurd and dangerous perspective, because there are millions more red lines in the long tail of the above chart than the blue lines that sit at the top.
The mainstream press views outbound linking as irrelevant — or worse, suicidal. The idea is to assemble crowds in one place rather than disperse them to the winds. Besides, the mere thought of actually linking to another person or organization is anathema to the concept of original reporting or scarcity of content, and the whole traditional press suffers as a result.
It suffers, because the news is bigger than that which any limited, single organization can get its arms around. It suffers, because its unwillingness to participate in the conversation that is news leaves it isolated, naive and mere pawns of the status quo. It suffers, because without participation, the press will never discover the wonder or the tools of the Personal Media Revolution. And it suffers, because in the end, the Machine will calculate its value downward in the overall scheme of importance.
And given how search algorhitms work, an outbound link from The New York Times would carry more weight than, say, The Seattle Times and thus be worth more web currency.
Things are very different in the blogosphere, however, where bloggers lift each other by participating in each other's conversations and THE conversation that is "news" via the Machine. If the traditional press could bring itself to function as the life of the party — the guy who brings the best stories, shares them with party-goers, and takes the time to listen to everybody else's stories — it could function in a valid role as "conversation starter" with all the benefits of the above.
That's because all of the tools that the blogosphere uses to form a gigantic handshake for the flow of information are there to serve the conversation, not the one-directional necessity of the mass-marketing business model. It's easy for us to see why we want everybody linking to us — and we should do whatever we can to make that as easy as possible — but the conversation will be served, because, as Kevin Kelly so brilliantly put it, "we" are the Machine.
The World Wide Web is a postmodern marvel of collaborative participation, and humankind stands once again at the shore of its own existence, a link away from everything.
From this embryonic neural net was born a collaborative interface for our civilization, a sensing, cognitive device with power that exceeded any previous invention. The Machine provided a new way of thinking (perfect search, total recall) and a new mind for an old species. It was the Beginning.
Links are the new currency. We should buy and sell wisely.

This week the Bicycle Film Festival hits Tokyo and Boston.
In my ongoing series of interviewing festival directors in various BFF cities I spoke with Joshua Kampa who is running things for Boston. He is the owner of the new bicycle shop in Somerville, MA called Open Bicycle. This is one busy cyclist but he was kind enough to take a minute and tell me about what's going on for BFF Boston and the local bicycle culture.
-Name. Age, where you live (ride)
Joshua Kampa, 30, Owner of Open Bicycle in Union Square, Somerville, MA. I live up the street on Spring Hill, in Somerville. It's like the Brooklyn of Boston, but Brooklyn 10 years ago.
-what bikes do you own?
Daily ride is a somewhat beat-up Kiyo Miyazawa track frame with a mix of Japanese and Italian track components. MTB is a 69'er-ed rigid Surly 1×1 that has lived through many different incarnations- cargo bike, XC machine, commuter. Road bike is a box of NOS Sugino 75 road components waiting for the right frame- sold my '79 Paramount (and everything else) to fund the shop start-up…
-what will be your next bike purchase?
That perfect (and hypothetical) '84 Rossin Ghibli C-Record machine, whenever it hits ebay….
-what got you involved in the BFF?
Boston needed a producer and I seem to have a masochistic streak.
-has the BFF been to Boston before? How did it go?
Last year was the 1st year I attended BFF in Boston- I'm formerly a Minneapolis kid. It was fun last year but a bit spread out and under-represented. This year is going to be amazing.
-what's going to be going on this year?
We've got some great parties and events lined up with loads of local and national sponsors bring out the goods to help support them. Boldsprints and DJs kick of the weekend at Middlesex Lounge on Friday night, and a cool brunch / specialty shop & framebuilder tour will take attendees on a trip around the area on the way to the screenings. A late-night alleycat will get the Festival attendees thirsty for the Afterparty at Flat Top Johnny's.
-who's coming out?
Anyone who's anyone and all of their cool friends.
-any local films or filmakers in this years festival?
Local helmet-cam celeb Lucas Brunelle has a film in the Urban Shorts screenings, as well as my Good Friend Steve Shinnerer for Quarter Productions, who shot a little tounge-in-cheek video about our shop last winter (on the coldest day of the year, to boot).
-what do you hope people ride away with from the festival?
A sense of the very positive and creative global community of cyclists that they are a part of. The Festival, to me, acts as a record of the evolution and power of the rapidly changing worldwide bike culture.
-what is the bike culture like in Boston, critical mass? Bike polo? Alleycats? Freestyle fixed gear?
All of the above. Boston is home to a very diverse community of students, professionals, families, and creatives. Despite the narrow and confusing streets, cycling runs in our blood here, and it is displayed in many forms and subcultures. Alleycats are a near-weekly occurrence, the local polo kids are pushing to have the North American finals here in 2010, and our shop sponsors some of the most cutting edge fixed gear freestyle riders on the East Coast… not to mention the strong community of commuters and car-free citizens of Boston the surrounding metro and their rides, parties, and advocacy.
-good places for cyclists to hang out at?
At my shop, Open Bicycle, of course. We host monthly art receptions in our attached gallery, Chorus, and provide an open community spot for folk to learn about and work on their bikes. There's a ton of decent pubs, cafes, and clubs to meet-up for rides or end the evening at- I'd tell you my favorites but then the secret would be out…
– what's it like biking in these cities?
Boston is no Minneapolis, but it's getting better. The winters are kinder 😉
-how is the bike infrastructure? What needs the biggest improvements?
Mayor Menino has appointed a Bike Czar to help the city get in line with the infrastructural improvements that many other US and global cities are implementing. Things are improving, slowly, as they tend to, but we are seeing new bike lanes, lock spots, and cyclist rights laws all the time.
Bike sharing?
That's a tough one. I just read an article about the Velib program in Paris and the fact that 80% of the original bikes have been stolen or damaged beyond repair. I think it's at heart an awesome idea but subject to some of the fundamental flaws that stem from the nature of contemporary urban psychology and culture. There are several bike rental and tour companies, and that serves the tourists and visitors well…
-your future cycling goals?
Global culture change? No, I'd settle for incremental but steady improvement. And a week off for a tour up to Nova Scotia.
-anything you'd wished I'd asked you?
Actually, now that you mention it, there are some amazingly wonderful people you should check out:

Renaissance Couple
John O'Neill '55 and Nelle Doak O'Neill '56 make beautiful music together.
Former IC violin student Nelle Doak O'Neill '56 now makes violins. Her husband, John O'Neill '55, studied clarinet and music theory and now photographs wildflowers, composes music, conducts, and teaches violin. Although they're both past retirement age, they probably would not know how to conduct themselves should they ever actually retire.
It's clear to see why: they love their work.
John, who grew up in central New York, began studying clarinet in fourth grade with Emory McKerr '37, M.S. '52, learned more with Ed Timbrell '42, and continued in high school with Bob Toft '44, who hardly needed persuasion to convince John to attend Ithaca College.
John (who went by "Jack" at IC but later changed back for his work as a conductor) was a junior clarinet/theory major who was playing for Walter Beeler's Concert Band when he met sophomore Nelle Doak. She too had been taught music (in
Courtship was difficult. Nelle was scolded for impropriety when she waited out Hurricane Hazel in John's parlor rather than returning to her dormitory, even with the streets blocked. "If a boy invited you to sit in his lap," she recalls, "you were supposed to put down a sheet of newspaper first!"
In the summer between Nelle's junior and senior years Nelle and John married. In 1963 the couple and their two children, Michael and Kathleen, moved to
Nelle didn't make her first violin until the age of 51, six years before the move to
In 1986 she began studying violin making and restoration with luthier (master violin maker) Edward Campbell. The sexism in the competitive field startled her, although she now says she is treated royally by her male colleagues. Nelle soon established a strong reputation, with her violas and violins winning national awards in both the overall and tone categories. For Nelle, tone and functionality are paramount. Her finishing and varnishing have also drawn praise.
Nelle spends days on one of the most painstaking steps in the process: tuning the plates (partially carved sections of the instrument, supported on foam over a powerful speaker) to specific pitches that produce the best sound. To do so she uses—of all things—dancing tea leaves. First she suspends the plate over a loudspeaker connected to an amplifer and tone generator. She sprinkles the tea leaves randomly on the plate and turns up the volume at different frequencies. When the sound waves resonate in the wood, she explains, "the tea leaves make specific patterns on a plate at specific frequencies. Then I thin the wood [using the pattern as a guide] to get the result I want."
Meanwhile, John was on his own odyssey. Semiretirement brought more time to compose; his new Celtic Suite No. 1 for string orchestra will be released shortly by TRN; other publishers of his work are Alfred, Belwin, and Warner Brothers. Photography, too, had always been a passion; today he specializes in American wildflowers. Since 2001 he has been writing a column for the Gardnerville Record-Courier, on topics ranging from the reasons behind the lack of a strings program in
John is not only webmaster; but even after 51 years of marriage he is also Nelle's publicist and adoring fan. He describes the instruments she makes as "dazzling" and insists that the greatest accomplishment of his life was getting her to marry him. (For her part, Nelle praises John as "my Renaissance soul mate," with extra plaudits thrown in for his gourmet cooking.)
Their daily schedule currently consists of an after-breakfast walk in the mountains that surround their home, violin-making time for Nelle and time for John to compose and photograph, followed by an afternoon of teaching strings. While at 72 and 74 their lives still revolve around music, given their wide-ranging interests and delight in life, it's not hard to imagine that Nelle and John will yet find new passions to pursue.

Silverthorne moving forward on downtown development plans
summit daily news
The town of Silverthorne is once again taking steps towards developing a walkable, pedestrian-friendly town center. Town council and consulting experts have been reviewing previous plans and studies and have scheduled an open house on Feb. 6 for interested parties to attend, view a presentation and ask questions.
The desire to create a downtown center is not a new one for Silverthorne. The Silverthorne Urban Renewal Authority was created in 1996 with the purpose of improving and revitalizing areas of the town that needed it through economic development efforts. This point of focus included the idea of a downtown core.
"Since then, we've gone through a lot of different processes," said Ryan Hyland, Silverthorne assistant town manager.
The concept was revisited in the 2008 comprehensive plan, when changes were made to allow taller buildings and on-street parking, among other things. The goal was to create a new and improved blueprint for the town's commercial areas.
In 2011 the town brought in Downtown Colorado, Inc. and the Colorado Department of Local Affairs to further discuss the plans, gather information and make an assessment. A community survey showed that the public felt strongly about concentrating on economic development and the development of a downtown core.
One of the changes made from the original 1996 urban renewal plan is the size of the area concerned. The original plan included the entirety of the commercial districts within the town, while the new plan shrunk the town core boundaries. The town core now stretches from the north side of Interstate 70 to Sixth Street. It includes the Blue and Green villages of The Outlets at Silverthorne, as well as the commercial property on the east bank of the Blue River and along Adams Avenue.
Silverthorne Town Councilwoman Ann-Marie Sandquist believes that one reason the downtown area has been so long in the planning stage, without actually getting off the ground, is that the previous size of the town core was too big.
"Too big a chunk got bitten off," she said. "We're trying to be focused; we're trying not to bite off more than we can chew."
Another reason for delays was funding. Projects like the one proposed cost money and the question was where that would come from. According to Sandquist, the town had previously been waiting for private money to come in and start the development, but that didn't happen.
"As we have talked about this and gone through the process, we realize that it does have to be a public/private partnership to do that," Sandquist said.
One of the tools the town is using is called tax increment financing (TIF). This is not a new tax but rather a new source of tax revenue. A tax baseline is established, then an analysis is done on what additional taxes may be generated when the improvement project is completed. The urban renewal authority can then use that amount for a portion of project costs and other publicly beneficial improvements.
A blight assessment must be done in order to use the TIF. A blighted area is property that is deteriorated, unhealthy or unsafe. The last blight assessment was done in 1996 and needs to be performed again in order to update the new plan.
The next step is the upcoming Feb. 6 meeting, where the public is invited to watch a formal presentation and ask questions about the project.
Hyland said that the open house is for "anyone who's interested in the potential future of a pedestrian-oriented downtown in Silverthorne; anyone who is a resident, business owners, property owners, maybe even people from outside Silverthorne who are interested in seeing another downtown area in the county."
The new plan goes to the planning commission's Feb. 19 meeting. If it is approved there, it will come before the town council at its Feb. 27 meeting. Both meetings are open to the public.
"I think it's really an exciting piece, an evolution of trying to get all the pieces in place to create that downtown," Hyland said.
Sandquist is optimistic about the work ahead.
"I feel like we have a pretty dynamic council right now that's really on board with it and interested in making it work, and we've been going through the process for a couple of years with our downtown core study and things like that. I'm excited," she said. "It's time to get that done. People have been clamoring for this for a long time."

Word Challenge: Two Words, One Speech- MLK
This marks the first installment of an innovative series written by Bell Curves co-founder Akil Bello for Riise to College's blog in commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr Day. It was originally posted on 1/16/12.
By examining famous speeches by great orators we can see how vocabulary words are used to inspire change, and also how these same words might appear on standardized tests like the SAT.
Our first vocabulary challenge comes to you on MLK Day and inspired by his 1963 speech, "I Have a Dream." Not only is this speech uplifting in its message but it also demonstrates the scope and beauty of the English language. As you celebrate MLK Day, Black History Month, and Presidents' Day, take the opportunity to explore and appreciate the things that brought these various people to the public eye. As you complete assignments in school exploring MLK's message of Civil Rights and equality, make sure you take time to appreciate the beauty of the words he chose and the importance of a well-developed vocabulary. As you read his words accept the challenge of improving your vocabulary so that one day you may deliver an equally rousing oration that could go on to inspire generations of children.
The two words (among the many) that we've chosen to highlight from Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" (full text and audio is found here) are withering and jangling. These two words struck me as particularly interesting because if you know them they are probably not used in his speech in the way in which they are most commonly known. They are also used so eloquently that we had to point out those particular sentences.
Withering (adjective):
1. acting or serving to cut down or destroy
2. intended to make someone feel mortified or humiliated.
Used in its more rare adjective form (rather than the noun which usually is used to refer to plants drying out or getting old), withering highlights the intent of the injustice suffered and how it had been used to humiliate and destroy. Through the use of this one word he creates an understanding of the depth of the horror suffered by the lack of equality.
When you write your next papers consider whether it is appropriate to not only criticize someone, but instead to deliver "withering criticism!"
Jangling (adjective):
1. having a harsh discordant metallic sound.
2. having an irritating effect on.
Again here King selected an adjective that more commonly is used as a noun or verb and applied the less direct or common definition (the common definition being: making a metallic noise like to jangle coins in your pocket). He creates through the use of this word a mental image of the harsh, irritating, and inharmoniousness rampant in the country at that time (and then beautifully puts it up against his dream of equality).
After reading this speech, spend the next week working jangling into your vocabulary. Maybe when your sister, father, or uncle next sings in the shower rather than simply saying that their singing is bad you should tell them of the jangling dissonance caused by their voice.
Below we've excerpted two paragraphs from "I Have a Dream" and bolded two words in those paragraphs. These two particular words have been highlight because they are 1. used as part of a beautiful sentence 2. very likely to appear on standardized tests and 3. should be part of the vocabulary of every college-bound student.
Making these words part of your vocabulary will not only help you better appreciate this speech, but will also help you succeed on standardized tests. The SSAT and ISEE are both very likely to test these words in an analogy or synonym question like this:
Which of the choices is closest in meaning to the given word?
(A) wearisome
(B) pleasurable
(C) harmonious
(D) clashing
(E) infuriating
These words could also likely appear in an SAT Sentence Completion like this:
Choose the word that best fits in the missing blank.
After her mother came to school and delivered a —– speech in front of the whole school, Margaret decided not only to skip prom, but also to avoid any extra-curricular activities.
(A) withering
(B) hostile
(C) harmonious
(D) clashing
(E) verbose
I hope we've provided you with some new thoughts and exposure to a few of the more exciting words in the beautiful language we speak. Enjoy MLK day!

The Yokohama New Transit Seaside Line is a people mover in Yokohama's Kanazawa Ward. It differs from traditional railways in a couple ways. It doesn't run on rails, it runs on a guideway with rubber tires. Also, it has no driver. It's completely automated.
Yesterday, we went to Costco, which is near Namiki-chuo Station. I took this picture on the platform, which is completely enclosed.

The inspiration for this shawl came about when the weather here in Maine was teetering on the edge between winter and spring. The tiny, delicate wildflowers were beginning to poke their heads out from underneath the winter-bleached grasses and from between the herringbone bricks on the paths of my neighborhood, and they got me thinking about transition: between season and season, between cold and warmth, and between organic, fluid shapes and clear, linear angles. This shawl, worked in a traditional top-down triangle in luminous and crisp Sparrow, is the perfect accessory for the changing seasons, and the simple, sweet lace pattern is a reminder of the first breath of spring air, and all the good things to come.

Students urged to put safety first as semester begins
Students urged to put safety first as semester begins
The start of fall semester can be a wonderful time of new beginnings, especially for first-year students who are entering a new phase of their lives. As they say good-bye to their parents and settle into their residence halls, new students typically are excited to explore their surroundings and meet new people.
Unfortunately, the start of fall semester also brings with it reasons for caution. According to the National Institute of Justice's 2007 Campus Sexual Assault Study, the highest rates of campus sexual assault are in September and October, a time period known as the "red zone."
"The first six weeks of the fall semester are called 'the red zone' because more sexual assaults occur on and around campuses during this time than any other," said Peggy Lorah, director of Penn State's Center for Women Students.
"In the midst of the excitement at the beginning of a new year, it is important to remember to pay attention to personal safety," she said, emphasizing that the most important component of personal safety is community responsibility. "We all need to be active bystanders and to intervene when we see situations that concern us. There are lots of opportunities for students to play an active role in the prevention of sexual assault, such as becoming involved in peer education and advocacy," she said.
Penn State's Rock Ethics Institute has a wealth of information on its website on the topic of bystander intervention, including a Bystander Intervention Playbook containing tips for intervening in situations that may lead to sexual assault. According to the website, "Active bystanders take the initiative to help someone who may be targeted for a sexual assault by a predator. Active bystanders also take the initiative to help friends who aren't thinking clearly from becoming perpetrators of crime."
The basic principle behind bystander intervention is to do what you would want someone to do for you. Some bystander intervention strategies found in the playbook include:
-- Defensive Split: Step in and separate the two people. Let them know your concerns and reasons for intervening. Be a friend and let them know you are acting in their best interest. Make sure each person makes it home safely.
-- Pick and Roll: Use a distraction to redirect the focus somewhere else, such as, "Hey, I need to talk to you," or "Hey, this party is lame. Let's go somewhere else."
-- The Option: Evaluate the situation and people involved to determine your best move. You could directly intervene yourself, or alert friends of each person to come in and help. If the person reacts badly, try a different approach.
-- Full Court Press: Recruit the help of friends of both people to step in as a group.
-- Fumblerooski: Divert the attention of one person away from the other person. Have someone standing by to redirect the other person's focus (see "Pick and Roll"). Commit a party foul (i.e. spilling your drink) if you need to.
The Center for Women Students also is a valuable resource, both for information and support. Located in 204 Boucke Building on the University Park campus, the center supports all students who have been impacted by sexual violence, relationship violence, stalking, harassment, and other campus climate issues. The staff assists students through education, advocacy, referrals and crisis intervention/support counseling. Information on its website includes actions for people to take to promote safety on campus.
"We encourage students to remember that consent needs to be present in every sexual encounter and to make responsible choices about alcohol use, since alcohol is involved in 85 to 90 percent of all campus sexual assaults," Lorah said. "It is important to remember that anyone can be a victim of sexual assault, and anyone can be an assailant."
One additional tool designed with safety in mind is a new smartphone app called Circle of 6, available for multiple smartphone platforms. The free app, which is mentioned in the White House report, puts a group of friends instantly in touch with each other, so someone in trouble can send a "come and get me" message, complete with a GPS location map. The app also connects the user to national hotlines, emergency numbers and online information.
Penn State is doing a lot to address the problem of sexual assault.
All incoming first-year students are required to complete an online training module dealing with sexual assault awareness before arriving on campus. Penn State AWARE is designed to educate students about sexual assault and sexual harassment, and to develop practical safety skills. The training module takes about 45 minutes to complete, and is offered in conjunction with Penn State SAFE, an online alcohol education program.
According to the Center for Women Students website, the University also:
-- Ensures access to medical care. The University will pay for all basic rape-related care at Mount Nittany Medical Center and Student Health Services.
-- Provides a dusk-to-dawn SAFE WALK for a safer alternative to walking alone. Call 865-WALK to arrange for an escort.
-- Provides the services of a victim resource officer through the Department of University Safety.
-- Provides assistance, advocacy, and educational programming through the Center for Women Students.
-- Provides sexual assault counseling, including crisis services, through Counseling and Psychological Services.
-- Offers the "trauma drop," a procedure for the retroactive withdrawal from semesters or dropping of courses, for victims of violence. Contact Counseling and Psychological Services or the Center for Women Students for more information.
-- Includes a Policy Statement on Sexual Assault and Abuse in the Code of Conduct, which specifies that "The Pennsylvania State University will not tolerate sexual assault or abuse, such as rape (including acquaintance rape) or other forms of non-consensual sexual activity. These acts degrade the victims, our campus community, and society in general. While the University cannot control all the factors in society that lead to sexual assault and abuse, the University strives to create an environment that is free of acts of violence." Violations of the policy are subject to disciplinary proceedings through the Office of Student Conduct.
Several resources are available to those who have experienced sexual assault and relationship violence:

SAN JOSE, Calif. (June 25, 2009) - The U.S. Men's National Team enters its third weekend of the 2009 FIVB World League volleyball happy to be home and welcoming back an important member of the team.
"It felt good to land (on Monday)," U.S. Head Coach Alan Knipe said. "That was a long World League trip. The good news is we got a lot of the travel out of the way. But it was nice to get back.
"We're looking forward to playing in front of a home crowd."
Team USA, ranked No. 2 in the world, will face China on June 26-27 at the San Jose State University Event Center Arena in California. San Jose is about 366 miles (589km) north of the U.S. Men's training home in Anaheim, Calif.
There is a large Chinese community in Northern California so the Chinese team will most likely have a good share of fans.
Team USA, the 2008 World League and Olympic champion, sits in second place in Group A behind Netherlands, with whom it split a pair of matches on June 12-13 in Rotterdam.
The United States went on to take two straight matches in Italy.
"The really encouraging thing is that we played better every match," Knipe said of the European trip.
One player who was not with the team for the European road trip is opposite Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawai'i), the MVP of the 2008 Olympic Games. He is in San Jose and Knipe is excited to have him back with the team.
"I feel good about the guys on the roster; we could put them in at any time," Knipe said. "Obviously having Clay back gives us one more weapon."
China, ranked eighth in the world, opened its World League campaign by splitting two matches with Italy, but then lost two straight to the Netherlands.
The United States is 4-1 against China since 2004 and 40-12 since 1981.
The U.S. Men defeated China 3-0 (25-22, 25-12, 25-18) when the teams played in pool play at the 2008 Summer Games. China went on to finish in a four-way tie for fifth.
Knipe is looking for his team to continue its improvement – particularly on passing and blocking – no matter who the opponent is. He is also trying to get his younger players as much time on the court as possible without sacrificing its success.
"We want to be good now but we also want to build for the future," Knipe said. "We want to get as many guys as possible opportunities to play without sacrificing our performance."

My sweet Mother's Day gift from my sweet Mother-in-law!
She pulled pictures off of my blog and MADE THEM INTO COASTERS FOR ME!
How cool is that? She is so creative. I would probably never think of something like that. But she did, and they are sooooo special to me! (Never mind the fact that Ethan likes to play the 'slam the hard ceramic coasters down on Mommy's glass end table' game (hee hee)....we've dealt with that by keeping them on higher ground where little hands can't reach!)
Lynette--I love these! Thank you so very much for doing this for me! You are one thoughtful Mother-in-law!

Recipe Tip
HerbsIf you don't have fresh rosemary, use fresh thyme or a couple of pinches of dried rosemary. Dried herbs have a more intense flavour, so use less.

Family House Diaries - How Serious Illness Binds Strangers in Life-enriching Ways
Serious illness most often brings devastating hardship, but it also has the potential to bring blessings with positive impact. Two couples from eastern North Carolina are living proof of how serious illness binds strangers in life-enriching ways.
Media contact: Tom Hughes, (919) 966-6047, firstname.lastname@example.com
Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2011
Written by Elizabeth Swaringen for UNC Health Care
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Two couples from the far reaches of eastern North Carolina are living proof that serious illness can bind strangers in life-enriching ways.
Greg and Liz Cody of Jarvisburg in Currituck County and Joe and Bonnie Stroud of Edenton in Chowan County met at UNC Hospitals in early 2010 when Greg, 58, and Joe, 59, were being treated for Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), a chromosome abnormality caused by a single bone marrow cell mutation. A relatively uncommon condition, it represents 40 percent of ALL cases in patients over the age of 40 and includes at least one-quarter of all adults with ALL. UNC Hospitals treats between five and 10 patients with the condition annually.
"This leukemia is particularly aggressive for people of this age," said Thomas C. Shea, MD, professor of medicine at the UNC School of Medicine, director of the bone marrow transplant program and associate director for outreach programs at UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center. "And when you have people as active as Greg and Joe diagnosed with this, there are lots of other issues to be worked through besides the treatment of the disease."
Greg and Joe each received a bone marrow transplant, the standard treatment for the disease. Greg received new marrow from his sister, Teresa, and Joe received his from a near-perfect-match from a female donor who was not a relative. Chemotherapy – and its side effects – followed.
"They each did well with their respective transplants, but each in their own way has had more challenges as an outpatient which is not that unusual in treating this kind of leukemia," Dr. Shea said. "That's why it's so important for a support system of family and friends to be in place – for the patient and the caregivers."
Bonnie, 58, and Liz, 47, met in a caregivers support group offered through the Comprehensive Cancer Support Program at UNC Lineberger. Each was relieved to meet a fellow leukemia patient spouse, and they soon discovered they had even more in common: Bonnie is a second-grade teacher and Liz is a substitute teacher and bus driver in their respective school districts. Their personal support group was on.
"We realized we lived just across the water of the Albemarle Sound," said Bonnie. "The more we talked, the more we realized we were walking similar paths. It's hard to describe what a comfort it was to meet Liz."
"Of course, the feeling's mutual," Liz said. "When we weren't seeing each other regularly in and around UNC Hospitals, we were in touch by phone. Sometimes I just need to talk, and Bonnie is always there."
The couples drew even closer during Greg's and Joe's required three months post-transplant stays at SECU Family House, a 40-bedroom hospital hospitality house minutes from UNC Hospitals. Family House provides comfortable, convenient and affordable housing for seriously ill adult patients and their family member caregivers.
"Family House was a lifesaver for me as a caregiver," Bonnie said. "I felt a lot more secure knowing we had somewhere to stay where people were familiar with our situation, and we were with others in the same boat. I knew if I needed help, all I had to do was call."
"We're a member of the State Employees' Credit Union, and I now know the $1 the SECU Foundation deducts from paychecks of members [at their direction] to support Family House is not enough for all the good that happens here," Liz said.
Watching the Codys and Strouds interact at Family House one believes they are like two brothers dining with their wives, discussing events of the day and dreams of their future.
"Bald-headed, we all look alike," said Joe, wryly, confirming he and Greg are not biological brothers. A former Air Force man and retired high school automotive teacher, Joe longs to return to the marine sales business he owns with his son.
"I hate not working," said Greg, a licensed well-driller by trade, who's had to close his business due to illness.
"It's a guy thing – we can't wrap our heads around this illness, and we deny it," Greg said. "We were on top of the world, taking care of our wives, our families, our homes, putting money in the bank, having fun with our lives and our work. We were the caretakers, the caregivers. Then, bam."
The hardest part, Joe said, is depression.
"People don't talk about it, and you don't really know when you're there," Joe said. "It's not in a textbook about how to deal with it, and I feel like I can only talk to people who've been there. Greg's been helpful."
"We have leukemia, and we fight leukemia together," Liz said, adding that faith in God has given them strength. "We know that the Lord doesn't give us more than we can handle without his help."
Dr. Shea, a SECU Family House board member and constant advocate of patient and family support, still marvels at the Cody-Stroud bond.
"They have about the same diagnosis, they're about the same age and from the same part of the state," Dr. Shea said. "We don't see that very often. I'm pretty sure they know how fortunate they are to have each other."

CBN History Part III: WCBN 89.5FM
WCBN-FM went on the air for the first time on Janruary 23, 1972, broadcasting at 10 watts in stereo on 89.5FM. The carrier current station was kept in operation, but in order to avoid confusion, its call letters were changed to WRCN in 1973. WRCN adopted a "60's Gold" format, and emulated commercial radio in every manner, from the "slickness" of the on-air personalities to the scheduled commercial breaks. WCBN was not yet a freeform station, but was already quite eclectic. An article published in the Michigan Daily's Freshman Issue in September of 1974 explains the differences between WCBN and WRCN.
1974 was also the first year that WCBN stayed on the air during the summer months. It was not yet a 24-hour signal
The years spent on 89.5FM were short for the Campus Broadcasting Network, but they were a time of tremendous growth. For the first time, the voice of WCBN could be heard by the community at large. A variety of new shows were started, many in conjunction with student groups.
Since the community could now listen to WCBN, they began to get involved with it. Community involvement has become an inteegral part of the Network's aesthetic. Community
until 1977

Cairo's Miami theatre will see an Arabic adaptation of Ken Kesey's 1962 classic One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, with a number of special needs actors participating in the new performance.
The performance will open this Wednesday at 9pm and will be attended by the president of El-Beit El-Fanny lel Masrah, the authority that oversees state-owned theatres, Maher Selim. The performance will be called Asfour Tall Men El Shebbak. The title gives a similar meaning but is also a play on the name of a famous Arabic song.
Kesey's original plot takes place in a mental health institution, kept in order by a nurse the main antagonist, who subdues the patients and keeps them in line. The plot advances when one patient, played by Jack Nicholson in the famous Milos Forman film adaptation, challenges the nurse and the system of the institution.
The director of the play, Ibrahim Elfawy, said he chose the text because he wanted to establish the idea of successfully adapting an artwork from one form to another. He added that the central theme of freedom was another reason for his choice.
Hamdy Heikal, the manager of the modern theatre group, has expressed his joy that this "unprecedented" work has come to Egyptian theatres, in which special needs actors and professional actors work together.

The Big Picture
By Barry Ritholtz – December 11th, 2010, 8:08AM
Sometimes, the best defense is a good offense.
That seems to be the approach that notorious robo-signing firm Nationwide Title Clearing has taken in responding to some of its critics.
If you are unfamiliar with their name, you might recall earlier this Fall when depositions of several Nationwide robo-signers employees went viral on YouTube (We mentioned these here and here).
This, amongst other perceived sleights has upset Nationwide Title, who has sued a St. Petersburg foreclosure defense lawyer, Matthew Weidner, for alleged libel and slander.
This is likely to be a terrible, terrible idea.
For those of you who are not attorneys, I need to point out a few things out about Libel and Slander laws in the United States. These are Constitutional issues, as the First Amendment protects speech, opinion, arguments, viewpoints, etc. In these cases, (capital "T") Truth is an absolute defense. So if any defendant can demonstrate that the damaging statements were indeed, accurate, they win.
This case turns on the bizarre claim that the term robo-signer so libels the plaintiffs that they are entitled to damages. Given that Truth is a defense, the defendant will prevail if they can demonstrate Nationwide's approach was robotic. Not literally machines doing the work, but any showing of assembly line manufacturing, for profit, of a streamlined document production that failed to review the documents, evaluate them, analyze the contents should qualify.
Here's where things get very very interesting: In civil litigation, the discovery process provides lots of opportunities for a defendant to gather information related to the accusations to prove they are true. This is a very broad standard, and it means nearly anything relevant is fair game. Depositions of senior executives, the firm's accounting and records, balance sheets, low level employees are all legitimate aspects of pre-trial discovery.
Why any private firm would subject themselves to this degree of scrutiny is quite baffling to me.

Revision as of 13:32, May 6, 2006
Our fathers among the saints Cyril and Methodius were brothers who brought Orthodoxy to the Slavic peoples of central Europe in the ninth century. In preparation for their mission to the Slavs they devised the Glagolitic alphabet to translate the Holy Scriptures and other Christian writings into what is now called Old Church Slavonic. Glagolitic later developed into the Cyrillic alphabet which is now used in a number of Slavic languages. The two brothers have been recognized as saints, "equal to the apostles

Gloria Marriott, who was convicted of animal cruelty under the name Linda Snow in 2008, was sentenced to two years in jail at a hearing in Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham on Tuesday.
A woman who admitted to abusing animals and stealing the identities of two dead children after sneaking across the border from Canada is headed to jail and likely facing deportation.
Gloria Marriott, 64, was sentenced to two years in jail after pleading guilty to perjury, identity fraud and giving false information in a court proceeding. The charges stem from her use of a fake name, Linda Snow, in a 2008 case in which she admitted keeping nearly 100 dogs in squalid conditions in a Randolph home as part of a puppy mill operation.
Snow was also the name she used when she owned Missy's Puppy Land in Stoughton.
Norfolk Superior Court Judge Kenneth Fishman also sentenced Marriott to five years' probation and ordered her not to own or sell animals after her release, though her lawyer said it's a "virtual certainty" that she will be deported upon finishing her sentence.
Handcuffed and shackled, Marriott spoke softly during the hearing Tuesday, breaking into tears as she asked Fishman for leniency.
"I know I did the wrong thing, and I've paid a tremendous price for my decisions," she said. "I'm asking you for the mercy of the court."
Marriott has been incarcerated since March 2011 when she began serving a nine-month jail sentence after pleading no contest to animal cruelty and other charges in Connecticut.
After finishing her sentence in November, she was held in jail while she fought extradition to Massachusetts to face charges of lying during the 2008 case, in which she was sentenced to probation.
Her lawyer, Matthew Rickman, said Marriott entered the country illegally from Canada in 1977 or 1978 fleeing an abuse situation and later began using the name Linda Snow.
According to court documents, Marriott used the birth certificate of a child from Lynn who died in 1952 to create her fake identity as Linda Snow. The alias Mary Howard, which she was using when she was arrested and charged in Connecticut last year, also belonged to a child who had been dead for more than 50 years.
In May 2008, authorities searched a home Marriott was renting under the name Linda Snow with Mark Zimmerman and found 89 dogs, including several that were pregnant, living in filthy conditions.
Two months later, she and Zimmerman were indicted on animal cruelty charges. While the case was pending, Marriott created the Mary Howard identity and moved to Connecticut with Zimmerman.
Zimmerman stopped showing up to court dates and defaulted, but Marriott continued to come back to Massachusetts for court hearings posing as Linda Snow and eventually pleaded guilty. She was ordered not to sell or own dogs except for two she previously owned.
But Marriott continued selling dogs until she drew authorities' attention after leaving a comatose Zimmerman at a Connecticut health care facility. Police ran Zimmerman's prints and connected him to Marriott's Mary Howard alias.
In February 2011, police arrested her after finding five neglected puppies in her Mystic, Conn., home. Police also found and seized more than $25,000 in cash and $2,300 in Iraqi currency in the home and a safety deposit box. Prosecutors in Massachusetts have no explanation for why Marriott had socked away Iraqi currency.
Marriott revealed her true identity in a Connecticut court before pleading no contest to those charges last year.
Zimmerman is believed to have died.
Marriott was also ordered Tuesday to pay $74,400 in restitution to the Animal Rescue League of Boston, which cared for the dogs seized at the Randolph home, and the owner of the home, which was badly damaged.

Margaux is only 7 months old and I'm already weepy over how big she is :( It's so bittersweet to see them learn so much and grow grow grow and to know they'll never be that itty bitty ever again. UGH I'm getting teary right now just thinking about it!ReplyDelete
yup. i hear you. my guy is almost 7 months old--i do the same after he goes to bed and it hurts. like seriously hurts! this is what they meant when they coined the word bittersweet.ReplyDelete
Hey, these pictures are so cute! i love reading your blog your soo cute! and your family is beautiful:) i just had a baby boy and i have been have alot of issues finding cute clothe! my first was a little girl so is was so easy becuase they have such cute clothes for little girl's but im having a pretty hard time finding styles and cute clothing. Are there any stores or websites that you know of with cute baby boy clothes??! thank you:) xoxox,ReplyDelete
Awe the 2nd oneReplyDelete
I get sad all the time when I look at Judahs pictures or videos of his newborn baby coo's. Yesterday it hit me hard that he was growing up because I had one of my girlfriends come over with her newborn son. I let her "borrow" some of Judahs really cute outfits to take pictures of her son Holden. I took the same pictures of her son Holden that I took of Judah, in my husbands guitar case or with the onsie with the tie. It was hard afterwards when I was giving her some of Judahs clothing that doesn't fit him anymore.
I just discovered your blog with the Khoury debacle, and I'm already loving it. Looking forward to getting to know you and your family a bit more, here. Also: Henry's absolutely adorable. What a smile. :)ReplyDelete
It's funny--I helped raise my brother and sister. Now one of them is 21 and the other is 19. When I look back at pics of them, it's almost unreal. I can't believe those are the babies I used to burp and bathe and change and read to sleep.

Aw, he's such a sweetie!! The love in both of your expressions is precious- I can only imagine how happy/sad this must be for you, but you've got such a sweet little man that I'm sure some cuddles from him at any age will bring you back to enjoying this moment, exactly as it is :)ReplyDelete
aww tender!!! love it!ReplyDelete
I love this post! He is such a happy guy!ReplyDelete
He was so tiny! But what a handsome boy he's growing up to be. So happy for you and your little family. :)ReplyDelete
I have a hard time looking back at pictures of my kids when they were little too!ReplyDelete
in the second to last photo, you and henry have the exact same smile and i think that's just so cute!! :) love it!!ReplyDelete
You are such a great mother for loving your son as much as you do. He's really going to appreciate it when he's old enough to realize that not everyone gets the kind of love he does. (:ReplyDelete
Aweee so cute! It must be bittersweet, but you're lucky you have the photos - I wish my parents had taken more when I was little!ReplyDelete

Reading your blog makes me so excited to be a parent! We are just starting out and sometimes I freak out a little and panic, but your blog reminds me of why I want to me a Mommy! Thanks!ReplyDelete
I just wrote a post about this. Maybe something's in the air :)ReplyDelete
I love reading posts like this, especially as I'm just over a month away from becoming a Mum, to a little boy as well. You remind me to enjoy every moment.ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh, his two little teeth!ReplyDelete
You both look so much alike! What special photos to cherish :)ReplyDelete
Very true. I always feel sad knowing my 2 kiddies will never be little again but I am more excited about them growing & learning & developing!!ReplyDelete
Look at those newborn chubby cheeks! Too cute!ReplyDelete
that is so sweet :) you are such a wonderfully natural mother and such an inspiration.ReplyDelete
Such cuteness. My son is also 14 months and I've been going through this daily- so hard to part with the baby but he's also even more fun now with his giggles and silliness. People always say it goes fast, but until you've lived it you just can't understand how fast it really is!ReplyDelete
You are so insanely gorgeous, and such a sweet person. You're seriously a huge inspiration for me. Thank you for being... well, you.ReplyDelete

Awwww, his smile is just the cutest thing I've ever seen!!!ReplyDelete
I hate this feeling! And watching old videos gets me every time. At least they get way more fun the older they get!ReplyDelete
I know exactly what you mean. We take tons of photos so it always makes me sad looking back on them now, but each day, and year, has been better than the last. Our kiddo will be 4 in May, 4!!! I cant even fathom 4. What a great post, and wonderful photos, you two are the cuteest!ReplyDelete

I have two babies, one is 18 and about to graduate from high school and the other 15. I still remember their smell and how they felt in my arms. I hold them tight often and they think I am crazy. You all need to cherish all of these moments. They do go extremely fast, but I have loved all of the moments with them and each new stage. I am a very proud mom with two amazing kids. Whenever I look at them I realize how lucky I am that they chose ME to be their mom. It is the greatest thing I have ever done.ReplyDelete
i tend to to this to myself on a regular basis. awful, i know. and yet, i can't seem to help myself. c:ReplyDelete
You have such a pretty smile, Danielle! I often have nights like that, also. It's fun to reflect, but it's more fun to keep making memories! xoReplyDelete
Our baby boy is one week old today. Thanks for reminding me that, even though I can't see past the sleepless fog and sore boobs, that someday very soon I'll be missing this time of funny faces and squeaky, coo-ey sounds.ReplyDelete
What a couple of cuties. I can't quite relate to what you're feeling because I don't have any kids, but I do know how it feels to be nostalgic and miss memories of the past, while being happy with the present as well.ReplyDelete
look at those teeth! and that smile! he's adorable.ReplyDelete
love, little.
Oh my, Henry is so adorable! That smile is just heart-melting! xxReplyDelete
these are so cute! i love them. i always go back and look at our old pictures....and my oldest is six!! i cry and laugh every time.ReplyDelete

Bud's Ale House, Farmingdale: Wings, dogs and TVs
Located almost within walking distance of Newsday headquarters is the new Bud's Ale House, which used to be Hooters. Based on location alone, this local spinoff of an Astoria sports bar and grill seemed a likely lunch destination one recent afternoon.
First thing noticed: Most of the clientele seems to be male, most — but not all — of the crew, female. Everyone properly attired. It's easy to lose count of the TV screens that virtually line the wood-paneled walls and hang suspended from above.
From the pub-style menu, chicken wings ($8.99 for 8), fried and coated with Old Bay seasoning, were good, if a bit salty. In the case of an appetizer of grilled skewered shrimp wrapped around chorizo ($8.99), the highly spiced sausage overwhelmed the shellfish. Still, not bad.
But a burger ($8.99), ordered rare, came up dense and dry, accompanied by undercooked previously frozen sweet potato fries. Much more successful was a Chicago-style hot dog ($5.99), a firm Karl Ehmer's frankfurter on a very good if slightly too thick brioche bun. Fish and chips ($12.99) were a trifle oily but decent. Surprise winners: A tart Key lime pie and a multilayered chocolate mousse tart ($3 each), both from an outside supplier.
In case you're wondering about another Hooters makeover under the same ownership as Bud's, 58 American Grill in Islandia, it closed a little over a month ago.
Bud's Ale House is at 25 Smith St., Farmingdale, 631-249-5250.

Gamma(redirected from IL2RG)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.
A measure of how fast the delta changes. That is, gamma is a mathematical measurement of how fast the price of an option contract changes for each unit of change in the price of the underlying asset. The larger the gamma, the more volatile the option contract is. If an option is at the money or near the money, gamma is large, but if it is deep in or deep out of the money, gamma can become quite small. This is because when an option is near the money, a small change in the underlying asset's value can greatly change the level of demand for the contract. This is not the case for deep in and deep out of the money options.
The sensitivity of an option's delta to changes in the price of the underlying asset. The gamma of an option is greatest when an option is near the money (strike price close to market price of underlying asset) and near zero when an option is deep out of the money.

JoJo, a product of Texarkana, is not designed for cold weather. Small, short-coated and slightly built, she starts to shiver if the temperature goes below 30, which it does on Cape Cod for a good part of the Winter. This Winter, like last, has been unusually cold, so taking JoJo outside is a matter of seconds. Drag her out, she looks around, says to herself, "Yup. Still cold," and bolts back indoors.
Paradoxically, JoJo loves snow. Right after a snowfall (never during: too much like precipitation) she goes totally gaga, running, stopping, shoving her face into the snow, leaping out of it, running, stopping, running — taking twenty laps of the yard in four seconds in a process known to my family as Doggie Psychosis. When finally lured back inside, she clambers back up to her hidey-hole at the top of the stairs where she can make certain nobody sneaks up behind her.

A new feature for FTM2012 is this:
Place Name Hierarchies—Place names can now better accommodate addresses and other place detail (such as cemetery, church, hospital, or historical names, etc.). This new capability also allows places to be displayed as part of their hierarchical structure if desired (this can be turned on or off).What does this mean? There will details to be posted in the future. This blog post will just show what it looks like.
Please note, that is appears that all place names are "unresolved". It appears to me, that what this means is that we have the option to put our Place Names into this new Hierarchical format or not.
When we go to the Place Workspace, we will see three new ICONs at the top of the Place Name list. The first ICON is "Show place names as a flat list" This would be the existing format, more or less, or with the new "hierarchy turned off".
My examples will show that I have done some work in putting my existing Place Names into the new format, so that I have examples to share.
Example below..
The next ICON is where ALL nodes are Expanded.
As the pop-out says, ALL nodes will be expanded. I have already put some of my Kansas Place Names into this format. Follow up blog posts will show how that is done.
For example, this is my listing for Places in Kansas.
This shows the Counties and the Place names within the county.
If you were to start in the normal mode, you would scroll down the Place Names and you will see a Right Pointing Arrow. These arrows are at the County Level. Clicking on that Arrow will expand THAT Place (country)
Here is a partial list from the USA being expanded, meaning to the State Level. Notice the Right pointing arrows again, clicking would then expand that state to the next level.
You can expand ALL place Names in the 2nd ICON, you can expand one country, or one state, as you are working in that area.
To Collapse them all, the 3rd ICON is used.

This is true in many cases, but I'd like to add something.
More and more I see a lot of 'webmasters' who use something like FrontPage to build their website and know hardly anything about HTML, much less things like PHP or SQL. So, when a well-meaning person finds a problem and tells them about it, they get scared and don't really know how to react. A lot of them probably jump to the conclusion that if this person knows how to do this, then they're some kind of super-hacker, and they inherently think that all hackers are evil people looking to destroy stuff and steal personal information. Therefore, they jump to the conclusion that this well-meaning person is a threat
Just an idea, I could be wrong.

You get arrested for killing the person, not firing the gun. Or something like that. Anyway, it's not worth debating, i'm probably wrong.
What about attempted murder? You could get arrested for firing the gun and missing. I think it's a matter of intentions. I might ask my lawyer next time I see him, he's a member of the family so I see him every once in a while
