The non sequitur I'm objecting to here is a small one. Unfortunately it's representative; Patry's reasoning is slipshod throughout the book, and more than once he tells the reader what to think instead of taking the trouble to convince him. Nor are these the only signs that the book may have been hurriedly—or just poorly—written. Patry often repeats himself. Though he seems to wish to address a broad audience, he uses legal terms of art such as "de minimis" and "worldwide exhaustion" without explaining them, and the later chapters sprint faster and faster through vagaries of international copyright law that are more and more complex. His priorities seem unsorted; he devotes a whole chapter to discrediting a 1995 article that consists only of notes in outline form and that by his own admission seems to have been little read. Nonetheless, if only because of Patry's connection to Google, the ideas in his book will be taken seriously.This article is mostly a review of the book rather than an argument with Patry's point(s) of view. Read the whole thing in The Nation.
* * *
Patry believes that copyright laws have failed, and for evidence of the failure he begins by pointing to conflicts. Creators of copyrighted work have tussled with the distributors to whom they sell it. Record labels, for example, have been found guilty of withholding payments to musicians, and Patry recounts that in his capacity as a writer, he was recently forced against his will to sign away valuable rights in negotiations with a powerful online publisher. Creators have also been quarreling with their audiences, especially about pricing and access. Patry cites a recent dispute over Amazon's Kindle: Amazon enabled the device to read books aloud in a mechanized voice, and the Authors Guild protested that the function would cut into sales of audio books. Amazon backed down—a matter for regret, in Patry's opinion.
UK Education Secretary Michael Gove argues that schools should teach children about kings, queens and wars. He's offering a quack remedy to a misdiagnosed complaint (New Statesman):
How about teaching narrative rather than analysis, then? It is wrong, David Starkey has asserted, that history in the schools has modelled itself on university research. What we need, he declares, is to give children "a sense of change and development over time . . . The skills-based teaching of history is a catastrophe." But what sells in the bookshops or what succeeds on TV is not necessarily what should be taught in schools. Teaching is a profession with its own skills and techniques, different from those needed to present a television programme (as Starkey's performance on the reality TV show Jamie's Dream School dramatically indicated). Physics, biology and every other subject in schools is taught along lines that reflect research in the universities. One wouldn't expect physics teachers to ignore Stephen Hawking's ideas about black holes, or biology teachers to keep quiet about the discovery of DNA. So what makes history so different? Chemistry devotes a large amount of time to transmitting skills to students; why shouldn't history?
The narrative that the critics want shoved down pupils' throats in schools - as they sit in rows silently learning lists of kings and queens - is essentially what's been called the "Whig theory of history"; that is, telling a story of British history over a long period of time, stressing the development of parliamentary democracy in a narrative that culminates in a present viewed in self-congratulatory terms.
This theory was exploded by professional historians more than half a century ago, under the influence of the classic tract The Whig Interpretation of History by the conservative historian Herbert Butterfield. Yet it still has strong support in the media. The Daily Telegraph and the right-wing think tank Civitas even campaigned to get H E Marshall's patriotic textbook Our Island Story put on the National Curriculum. Dating from the Edwardian era, this book, with its stories of how the British brought freedom and justice to the Maoris of New Zealand and many other lucky peoples across the world, has rightly been described as "imperialist propaganda masquerading as history". In what other academic subject would people seriously advocate a return to a state of knowledge as it was a hundred years ago?Steering Girls to Science and Technology (MediaShift):
One thing research consistently shows is the impact that one-on-one relationships and role models can have in influencing kids. And that's one of the defined goals of the Techbridge program. To that end, Ebony and her peers get to work once a week with Esosa Ozigbo, who comes from a similar background as many of the girls in the program -- single-parent home, struggling financially, parents who never graduated from high school. But Ozigbo, a Stanford graduate with a science degree, is living proof that there's a way out -- and it might just be in a field like science or math. "I definitely know that growing up, it would have been great to have someone like that come in and talk to me," Ozigbo said.
Ozigbo leads Techbridge field trips, taking girls to companies like Google and Yahoo for site visits so they see for themselves the possibility of a life that's different than what they've lived so far. "I took some girls to San Francisco -- they had never been on the other side of the bay," she said. "It's just about seeing what's out there and seeing if it's in your grasp and saying, 'This is what I have to do, this is what I can do.' I think that makes the world of a difference."From the Twitter this week:

Would you believe that out of 4,000 male and female executives in 31 countries around the globe, almost three quarters of respondents (71%) said they have work life balance all or most of the time. Yes, a whopping 7 out of 10 executives feel balanced, says a survey by Accenture. That's MUCH higher than I expected.
The survey, entitled "The Path Forward, also found only about 41% of executives said their career had had a negative impact on their family and only 42% said they often sacrifice time with their family to succeed. So, if you believe the results, executives are feeling pretty fulfilled with their work and home lives.
The GlassHammer thinks there's something else going on. That there's been an acknowledgement that 'having it all' is not a reality. And, that there's a new understanding that balance means there are always going to be sacrifices when it comes to work and family, and that making those sacrifices is okay.
Here's another clue for why so many executives feel balanced: The study showed that many more people are using flexible arrangements at work than ever before. In fact, 59% of respondents – male and female – said they utilized some form of flex arrangement. That's a high number considering these are senior level people.
This confirms what I have always suspected. Give emplooyees control over their work schedules and they'll stick around: While the majority of respondents said they were dissatisfied with their current position (57% of women and 59% of men), most named flex arrangements as a reason they are staying with their employer.
What do you think about the high number of executives that say they have work life balance? If you were asked, would you say you have work life balance most of the time?

When I began my dissertation back around the turn of the century, archival research seemed pretty high-tech, at least when compared with the old pencil and notecard approach. I would bring my laptop to the archive and type detailed notes, often transcribing direct quotations. Occasionally, I would request a photocopy of a particularly important document, but there was a strong incentive to scrimp. Archives often limited how many copies each patron could request per year. Moreover, the price was high--25 cents per page or more.
In those days, I would spend anywhere from a week to a month in an archive, crashing on a friend's couch, house-sitting, or staying in a cheap motel or sublet. I spent quality time at wonderful libraries such as the Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America (Radcliffe Institute, Harvard University), the Library of Congress, and the Sophia Smith collection at Smith College. I discovered treasures such as the Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr. Archives at the Washington and Lee University School of Law in beautiful Lexington, Virginia. I awoke at the crack of dawn to visit the Southwest Regional Division of the National Archives on the outskirts of Ft. Worth, Texas, which opens under cover of darkness at 6:30am.
By the time I was finishing research for my book, everything had changed, much of it for the better. No longer a graduate student, I was fortunate enough to have a job and a research budget. I also had a spouse and a baby at home, as well as teaching and other professional obligations. Luckily for me, these life changes were accompanied by a technological transformation: the rise of digital photography. Now I could do the historian's equivalent of a hit and run--a marathon day or three in an archive, armed with my camera, taking virtually unlimited pictures free of charge. Toward the end, when I knew--or thought I knew--exactly what I wanted, I could even hire a local student or freelance researcher to take the photos and upload them to Picasa. It would have been difficult to travel to the Jimmy Carter Library in Atlanta with a newborn; instead, I perused the papers of Attorney General Griffin Bell from the comfort of my home.
These advances have obvious advantages. Archival research has become cheaper and faster, requiring less time away from home and (other) work. Bringing more home means not only a broader source base, but the ability to go back and reread sources later. There is a downside, though. I miss seeing new places in a (relatively) leisurely manner and having long, in-person chats with archivists. Now I often return home with thousands of photos but only a dim idea of their content. Gathering sources has become increasingly separate from the process of reading and digesting the sources, which may mean fewer spontaneous tangents that lead to unexpected discoveries.
And managing this volume of information is tricky. I used to create the electronic equivalent of notecards, using the searchable database Filemaker Pro; now I am searching for a new system better adapted to the reality that taking copious notes on every page of archival material has become a practical impossibility. I dream of a day when my digital photos can be seamlessly converted into text-searchable documents, but haven't yet been able to find software to pull that off.
How have you negotiated the technological changes of the past decade(s)? Do you have a good note taking/source management system?

Senators' Duties
The state is divided into 49 legislative districts, each home to approximately 35,000 people. Senators are elected to four-year terms and receive a salary of $12,000 a year.
A single Legislature exists for two years, called a biennium. There are two regular lawmaking sessions per biennium. Each regular session begins in January.
The biennium begins in odd-numbered years with a long session that consists of 90 working days. A shorter session is held in even-numbered years and consists of 60 working days. Long sessions usually last until mid-June, and short sessions usually last until mid-April. At the call of the governor, special sessions also may be held.
During session, a typical day for a senator could include a meeting over breakfast, a working lunch, visits with constituents, committee hearings, research, floor debate and conferences.
Senators also have obligations during the interim, including contacting constituents, conducting interim studies with committees, and developing and researching bills they plan to sponsor in the upcoming session.
A senator is called to
- Represent the people and the best interests of his or her legislative district;
- Appropriate funds to further the state's progress and that of its citizens, protect property and persons, strengthen our productive capacity, and create new opportunities;
- Right injustices involving the public;
- Keep a careful check and set policy on the operation of state government;
- Keep a forum where people can be heard;
- Provide a means of access for a private citizen through the maze of government;
- Propose constitutional amendments to be submitted for a vote by the people;
- Establish state policy by introducing bills to create new programs, modify existing programs, and repeal laws which are no longer needed;
- Observe the legislative rules of decorum and discipline, and encourage the promotion of the welfare and well-being of the citizens of the state;
- Study legislation carefully;
- Exercise legislative power to the best of his or her ability; and
- Study problems between sessions and determine whether legislative solutions are needed to correct them.

Embrace Change To Grow
Change is inevitable. Change is good. Help your employees and team learn to embrace change.
Here are some solid insights from Dr. Rodger Dean Duncan's book, Change-friendly Leadership -- How to Transform Good Intentions into Great Performance:
- The kind of behavior that results in lasting (sustainable) change must accommodate people's feelings--feelings that involve trust, confidence, passion, and all those other intangible but very real things that make us human.
- It's often the stress that people resist, not the change itself.
- Continuity gives us roots; change gives us branches, letting us stretch and grow and reach new heights (Pauline R. Kezer).
- A transformational leader focuses primarily on initiating and "managing" change. He/she influences people to improve, to stretch, and to redefine what's possible.
- It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change (Charles Darwin).
- Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.

Wis. oil recycler fined for hazardous waste
Will pay fines to state for 11 violations
BUTLER, Wis. — An oil recycling facility in Waukesha County will pay $140,000 in fines to the state for 11 violations of Wisconsin hazardous waste laws.
Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced the judgement Monday against Benz Oil Inc., located in the Village of Butler. His office says the company has revised its practices and is now in compliance with the law.
The Department of Natural Resources says that used oil does not readily break down when released into the soil or groundwater and that it can contain toxic chemicals and heavy metals.

Weather interrupts search for missing snowmobilers
Strong winds, frigid temps on Rangeley Lake impede search
High winds and frigid temperatures halted the search for three men who are missing and presumed dead after game wardens said their sleds went into open water on Rangeley Lake two days ago.
This comes just a day after wardens recovered the body of Dawn Newell, 45, of Durham, from the same lake.
She was riding with her teenage son, who ditched his sled as he watched as his mother went in. Authorities said he was able to crawl to safety and call 911.
Wardens said Newell and her son had met a group of three men on the trail who were trying to find their way back to Sugarloaf. That was Sunday around 7 p.m.
"Once they broke out past the cove, they split and went different ways. Unfortunately, both different parities entered the water from the evidence we found," said Lt. Kevin Adam with the Maine Warden Service.
Search crews found three helmets they believe belonged to the men. The men have been identified as cousins Kenneth and Glenn Henderson and John Spencer.
The men posted a photo on Facebook hours before they were reported missing telling friends one of their sleds had broken down.
"Kenny called his wife saying, 'We're lost, but we think we know where to go,'" said Missy Morgan, a friend of the men.
Morgan said the men are racers at Oxford Plains Speedway. Not knowing what to do with her grief, she has organized a candlelight vigil in the raceway parking lot for Wednesday at 7 p.m.
"It's awful. Definitely not a way to start 2013. But we can all come here tomorrow and do the best that we can for the families, even if this is all we can do," said Morgan about the vigil.

Now Brewing in NY: Everyman Espresso SoHo
Though the continually expanding New York City coffee scene is often made up of newcomers (including infiltrators from faraway lands), it's also natural for existing shops to replicate themselves in other parts of town. What's not always natural is for them to outdo themselves tenfold: Union Square's Everyman Espresso has been a solid, convenient, quality option for years in an unfortunately awkward space. (They're a somewhat-coffee-afterthought in the lobby of the Classic Stage Company theater, previously a few-months-long home to Ninth Street Espresso's second location.) But the opportunity to build their own dream cafe from scratch, along with new input from passionate (this actually seems like an insufficient word to describe him) baristas like Sam Lewontin, has led the owner Sam Penix and the Everyman crew into handsome new territory, this time in SoHo.
The shop, a wedge of West Broadway below Canal Street, takes cues from Scandinavian design and offers no real seats, but instead a bench-and-window-seat kind of vibe. Most defining, though, is the approach to coffee. There's no menu board hung here, simply a constantly refreshed printed card hung quietly in the window. Coffees, in this case furnished by Counter Culture Coffee, and their prices, of course, are subject to change.
"We're really into the personal interaction between barista and customer," said Lewontin. "The whole idea is he's the menu," he said, gesturing at a fellow barista. "I'm the menu. Whoever is standing here is the menu."
Everyman SoHo importantly takes another swing at the barista-as-concierge idea originally tried out by Intelligentsia on the West coast. For customers who prefer a more complex coffee exploration, perhaps beyond the two espressos on the fancy la Marzocco Strada, they're invited to wander with their barista a few feet over to the left, and discuss what they might enjoy as a filter-brewed coffee. The mainstays of the manual brew program are Chemex and Aeropress, "because they're great examples of extremely different ways to express a cup of coffee," says Lewontin, though we also spied a Woodneck dripper in the manual brewing zone. (Whether this kind of slow-motion, one-on-one attention will be sustainable at a cafe busy enough to pay the rent is the burning question that haunts the entire industry, of course.)
Alongside the coffee program is a small line of artisanal, fizzed-to-order sodas from Brooklyn's P&H Soda Company, as well as cookies from Downtown Cookie Co. And try a shot of the featured espresso—currently an Ethiopian Haru full of lemon-drop syrup sweetness at the bottom of the cup. And don't mind the name—though all the staff we saw were bookishly bespectacled, bearded boys, women and children are welcome as well.

PHOENIX -- In the era of corporate adoption of consumer technology, the options for IT managers are increasing.
Introducing these new devices and apps, showing how they work, and getting feedback on them, is leading to the creation of IT "petting zoos" in a variety of organizations.
That's a warm, fuzzy name for what many still call a testing laboratory, skunk works or a sandbox.
But consumerization is changing everything.
In many companies, technology adoption is an activity that now extends well beyond the IT department and management suites.
A petting zoo can be in a virtual location, a physical location, or both.
It is a cross between a showroom floor at Best Buy and a testing sandbox.
It is where new technology options, either software or physical devices, are made available for almost anyone in an organization to touch, test, evaluate and offer feedback.
Tom Soderstrom, the CTO of NASA Jet Propulsion Library, is a proponent of petting zoos because it fits into his broader notion about where IT is going.
"The mega trend" said Soderstrom, is to enable environments that allow any employee "to work with anyone from anywhere with any data using any device at any time."
Soderstrom told attendees of the Computerworld Premier 100 IT Leaders Conference here that he sees his consumers, the lab's employees, innovating on top on whatever tools IT provides.
That might mean, for instance, that the help desk may be more concerned about helping an employee use a mobile device as an innovation platform instead of operating it.
"The help desk of the future is going to be where the help desk shows us and helps us learn how to write applications for those devices, not how to turn them on," said Soderstrom.
It also means different attitudes in areas such as security.
"Instead of saying 'we can't do that' (because of IT security concerns), they say 'here's a better way of doing that," said Soderstrom. "We have to make IT security cool because the new generation is all about mobile apps."
Inside the NASA petting zoo, there are all types of devices, ranging from Parrott Drones, flying robotic-type devices that can fly around with cameras, to camera enabled robots that can substitute for humans. The latest iPad will soon be added, he said.
JPL also has a virtual petting zoo for testing software.
At NBC Universal Media, Michael Fabiano has a petting zoo that includes some 30 tablet devices. It's not quite the same concept as used by NASA, but there are similarities.
Developers use the tablet to test out how content looks at them, while others in the organization will can examine them for their own purposes, said Fabiano.
Someone from another brand in the company or a literary agent can look at what we're doing and see how a children's book, for instance, looks on an iPad, Kindle or Nook.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. rejected the Crimea secession referendum Sunday as illegal and readied retaliatory penalties against Russia, while shifting sights to deterring possible military advances elsewhere in Ukraine that could inflame the crisis.
Crimeans voted overwhelmingly to split off from Ukraine and join Russia. But even before official results were announced, the White House denounced the vote, saying it violated Ukraine's constitution and international law and was held under "threats of violence and intimidation from a Russian military intervention."
It said "no decisions should be made about the future of Ukraine without the Ukrainian government" and noted that Russia had rejected the deployment of international monitors in Crimea to ensure the rights of ethnic Russians there were protected.
"Russia has spurned those calls as well as outreach from the Ukrainian government and instead has escalated its military intervention into Crimea and initiated threatening military exercises on Ukraine's eastern border," the White House said.
"Russia's actions are dangerous and destabilizing," the White House said.
U.S. officials reaffirmed that the Obama administration will, along with the European Union, impose penalties on Russia if it annexes the strategic region. They also warned that any Russia moves on east and south Ukraine would be a grave escalation requiring additional responses.
Secretary of State John Kerry called on Moscow to return its troops in Crimea to their bases, pull back forces from the Ukraine border, halt incitement in eastern Ukraine and support the political reforms in Ukraine that would protect ethnic Russians, Russian speakers and others in the former Soviet republic that Russia says it is concerned about.
In a call with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Kerry urged Russia "to support efforts by Ukrainians across the spectrum to address power sharing and decentralization through a constitutional reform process that is broadly inclusive and protects the rights of minorities," the State Department said.
It was their second call since unsuccessful talks Friday in London.
Kerry expressed "strong concerns" about Russian military activities in the southern Ukrainian region of Kherson, just north of Crimea where Russian troops appeared Saturday, and about "continuing provocations" in cities in east Ukraine, the department said.
Kerry "made clear that this crisis can only be resolved politically and that as Ukrainians take the necessary political measures going forward, Russia must reciprocate by pulling forces back to base and addressing the tensions and concerns about military engagement," the department said.
A senior State Department official said Lavrov's willingness to discuss Ukraine political reforms was positive. But the official stressed that the Russian military escalation was of "greatest concern" and must be reversed. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private conversation.
White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said that Russia faces penalties that would hurt its economy and diminish its influence in the world if President Vladimir Putin didn't back down. Pfeiffer said the administration was committed to supporting the new Ukrainian government in Kiev "in every way possible."
"President Putin has a choice about what he's going to do here. Is he going to continue to further isolate himself, further hurt his economy, further diminish Russian influence in the world, or is he going to do the right thing?" Pfeiffer said.
U.S. and European officials have said they plan to announce sanctions against Russia, including visa bans and potential asset freezes, on Monday if Putin does not shift course.
But Putin and other Russians have shown no sign they are willing to back down. They insist they will respect the results of the Crimean referendum in which voters in the largely pro-Moscow peninsula are expected to choose joining Russia by a wide margin.
Members of Congress said they were prepared to enact tough sanctions on various Russian leaders, but $1 billion in loan guarantees to help the Ukrainian economy is on hold while Congress is on a break.
"President Putin has started a game of Russian roulette, and I think the United States and the West have to be very clear in their response because he will calculate about how far he can go," said Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
The top Republican on the committee, Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, said the U.S. and Europe were entering a "defining moment" in their relationship with Russia.
"Putin will continue to do this. He did it in Georgia a few years ago. He's moved into Crimea, and he will move into other places unless we show that long-term resolve."
Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, just back from meetings in Ukraine, said Ukrainians he talked to said war could occur if Russia attempts to annex more territory. They indicated that "if Russia really does decide to move beyond Crimea, it's going to be bloody and the fight may be long," Murphy said.

Twitter? It's Not Fun Anymore
This week I worked 62 hours straight. Actually, that's a lie, I worked 65 hours straight, with 3 hours of naps.
Twitter has stopped being fun.
I started Twit Cleaner in 2009. Given that I haven't managed to develop a livable income out of it in that time (barring donations from you many wonderful, generous people), it's pretty obvious I'm not in it for the money. It's been my primary occupation over that time, and absorbed several thousand hours of coding, designing, building, testing and supporting it. Everything on Twit Cleaner (bar some low level server decisions), I've personally done.
I wanted to make Twitter a better place for everyone. I love to code. I love helping people. That's it.
Unfortunately, the new API is so crippling that Twit Cleaner is unable to continue. If I can't even maintain the base service, I certainly can't (won't) roll out any new functionality I had planned, all of which sits on top of Twitter's APIs.
So, here's some things I had in the pipeline that won't see the light of day:
Filtered follow back – like auto-follow, but filtered through the (user customisable) Twit Cleaner reports , so if they would appear on (your choice of) report sections, you won't follow them; only if they're awesome. I've had this running on my personal account for a year or so, it's just needed some UI whipped up around it. Oh, and a billing system.
DM guard – deleting the myriad of DM spam we all receive. Making Direct Messages useful again. Additionally, catching and quarantining all the phishing attacks Twitter suffers, and feeding those back en masse to Twitter, so they can break the links and quickly quell any new attacks that arise, before they spread. This is already partly running on my Twit Cleaner account.
Spam Hunter – a neat game (a core chunk of the back end code already written) to make it fun (and super efficient) to hunt spammers on Twitter. Thus, the masses pool their efforts to remove spam from Twitter (since of course, all this would be collated and automatically fed back to Twitter's spam team). I reckon, combined? We could make Twitter spam history (or so expensive as not to be worth it for the spammers). I've tracked, identified and reported hundreds of thousands of spammers off Twitter.. just while testing this code – not even using it in force.
At the risk of sounding immodest, Twit Cleaner was a stupidly robust system (optimising systems is something I'm really good at).
Most of the downtime I did experience was because I was constantly tweaking and improving things, while working at the outer limit of my skills in some pretty arcane technical areas.
I could happily leave the system running for weeks at a time while I worked on other code. I'd do tech support, but not really touch the engine. It would gracefully handle the plethora of random errors emanating from Twitter's complex environment; interpret, adjust and retry. Nothing would be lost. Not much would slow.
It was an engineering marvel built, as it were, atop a fail-whaling ship.
And yet the v1.1 Twitter API "upgrade" hit like 20 ice bergs.
Every single Twitter related part of my system started screaming. Yes, some bits I'd made bad choices or coded less-than-perfectly, but when you fix 15 major problem sites, and there's still more, many of which I genuinely have no idea how I can correct, adjust for or code around? That's dark.
And when you factor in how smoothly everything ran before this upgrade?
It's not fun.
Now, to be really clear. I don't begrudge the decisions Twitter has made with these changes. They're running a system with a couple of hundred million users. Mine has a couple of hundred thousand. At that many orders of magnitude difference, things change. A lot. With thirty years of tech experience, I marvel that Twitter works at all – let alone as quickly and (relatively) painlessly as it does.
All that said, I'd hoped that dropping the maximum user size down would help things, but quite literally, every part of my system is still complaining (despite a ton of work by me). I'm running out of API calls (how much Twitter will let me do, per 15 minute block) everywhere. Everywhere.
The Twitter API documentation says I should check that. Oh, wait, I've run out of API calls to check how many API calls I have left. WTF? Seriously?
And so on.
Multiply that by 60+ hours in 3 days and you start to see why I'm walking away from the dead horse.
I suspect I won't be alone.
Running Twit Cleaner has been one of the most amazing experiences in my life. I've met so many incredible people. I've helped, in a small-but-significant way so many to have a better experience on Twitter. I deeply regret that I can't continue to help improve your lives. It's not feeding starving children in Africa… but you know, it wasn't nothing. And wow, you people are amazing. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you also to both Matt and Katy in the spam team at Twitter. It was an extreme pleasure and an honour helping them kick all those bad guys in the ass.
Through all this I've learned so, so much.
Perhaps the key thing? Never play football when someone else owns the field.
So obvious in hindsight.
Perhaps if I'd known that in Oct 2009, when I started all this, I might have taken a very different path.
But I would have missed so, so much. And I'm incredibly grateful for it all.
From here? I have no idea. I'll see what the universe brings. A holiday would be nice. In the mean time, of course, I'll keep learning how to love more and keep posting weird crap on my personal Twitter account, @sidawson.
Take care out there.

Ten Second Review
The Honda Civic has always been a more interesting choice for buyers in the Focus-sized family hatchback segment. This tenth generation model gets a minor styling update and has forty years of heritage to build upon. We like the spacious, dynamic-looking body, the strong standards of safety and the revvy petrol engines. It all sounds quite promising.
Cars like the Honda Civic were always closest to the heart of company founder Soichiro Honda. Back in the Sixties when the best the motor industry could offer a small family was something like a lumbering Morris Oxford, it was he who pioneered the idea of a compact fuel and space-efficient family car with a hi-tech air-cooled flat-four 1300cc engine. It was thinking that led to the launch of the original Civic in 1972, a model series that over the next forty years would go on to sell over 20 million cars around the world, over 650,000 of them in the UK. Throughout those decades, there have been so many reasons why people like us have wanted to like this car: its unique styling, its wonderfully slick gearbox, its sporty engines, its clever 'magic seating' practicality and its unique driver-centric dash. But then came the 'if onlys'. If only the ride, refinement, cabin quality and running costs had been better. If only the lifeless power steering hadn't disguised the responsive handling. If only the pricing had been a bit more competitive. You can't afford 'if onlys' the way the Focus-class segment is at present and Honda knew it had to do better. Apparently it has done with this much improved MK10 model.
Driving Experience
Top of Honda's 'to do' list in developing this tenth generation Civic was to sort out the petrol side of the engine range. The 1.4 and 1.8-litre i-VTEC units offered with the previous ninth generation model were an embarrassing distance away from the class standard in terms of efficiency but that's all changed now. Instead, with this MK10 model, there's an entry-level three cylinder 1.0-litre VTEC TURBO unit with 129PS and a larger four cylinder 1.5-litre VTEC TURBO powerplant with 182PS. Both have more power and torque than the old engines could offer and come with the choice of either 6-speed manual or CVT automatic transmission. Despite all this effort, many Civic customers will continue to want a diesel. Unfortunately, it seems there wasn't any time or development budget left to do anything in this regard, so this latest generation model continues on with the previous version's 120PS 1.6 i-DTEC unit which fortunately, continues to be a strong contender in this segment and has recently benefitted from minor upgrades. As for handling, this is claimed to be 'the most agile and dynamically proficient Civic ever'. Support for that claim comes in the form of all-new suspension, a lower centre of gravity and a boost in body rigidity. Ride comfort has been improved too.
Design and Build
There aren't too many changes to the sleek and swept-back shape. Just a more elegant, symmetrical lower front grille around the fog lights, a smoother air-intake design and full LED headlight clusters with redesigned LED daytime running lights, plus some revised 16 and 17-inch alloy wheel designs. As before, buyers get a choice of either the usual five-door hatch or a four-door saloon. Either way, the sharp lines are complemented by the most comprehensive aerodynamic packing in the segment, including complete under-body panelling. More importantly, this MK10 model Civic is bigger than before, in hatchback form 30mm wider and 130mm longer than its predecessor. All of this sits on a more advanced unibody platform that Honda says is 16kg lighter and 52% stiffer than before. Inside, smarter textured interior panels have been added, plus the 7-inch Honda Connect touchscreen gets physical buttons and there are now dials for the infotainment and climate controls. Otherwise, it's as before. The driving position is set quite low and buyers should certainly notice the extra cabin space facilitated by the large body. Passengers on the rear seat get more space than is typical in this segment. Out back, luggage space remains near-class-leading, with 478-litres on offer in the hatch version. Plus there's a hidden underfloor compartment on most models that offers a further secure storage area.
Market and Model
There's a choice of five-door hatch and four-door saloon body styles and buyers are being offered a choice of two petrol engines, the 1.0-litre 129PS VTEC TURBO and the 1.5-litre 182PS VTEC TURBO. From the launch of this updated model for the 2020 year, pricing was pitched from just under £20,000 for the entry-level 'S' 1.0-litre variant; you'll pay around £1,600 more if you want the alternative 1.6-litre 1.6 i-DTEC diesel. With both those engines, there's a choice of 'S', 'SE', 'SR' and 'EX' trim levels. The 1.0-litre engine adds a top 'EX - Sportline' variant. If you want the 1.5-litre petrol engine, there's one single well-equipped 'Sport' trim level on offer priced from just under £24,000. With the diesel, you only get a manual gearbox, but with both petrol units, Honda will offer you its CVT auto transmission for another £1,400. The Civic 4-door comes only in one top-spec 'EX' guise with the 1.0-litre petrol engine, priced at around £26,500, but you do get the option of CVT auto transmission. For the top Type-R, think in terms of paying somewhere in the £33,000-£35,000 bracket, depending on the spec you want. All models include the usual equipment features in this class - and Honda is particularly proud of this car's comprehensive infotainment capabilities. The latest version of the 'Honda Connect 2' connectivity system allows full smartphone integration via both AppleCarPlay and Android Auto so you can duplicate the functionality of your handset on the centre-dash 7-inch touchsceen display. Safety systems include Honda's suite of 'SENSING' technologies. These include a 'Collision Mitigating Braking System' that brakes the car to avoid an accident. Plus a 'Forward Collision' set-up that warns you of oncoming hazards. And 'Lane Departure Warning', 'Road Departure Warning' and 'Lane Keeping Assist' features that'll keep you from veering away from where you should be on the road. There's 'Traffic Sign Recognition' that reads speeds signs as you pass and displays them on the dash, this set-up then working with an 'Intelligent Speed Assistance' system that can automatically set your speed to match the prevailing limit. Other options include 'Adaptive Cruise Control', 'Blind Spot Information' and a 'Cross Traffic Monitor' that alerts you to oncoming traffic when reversing out of a space.
Cost of Ownership
For the first time, Honda is able to offer Civic buyers two class-competitive petrol engines when it comes to running costs. The brand claims that this MK10 model's freshly developed 1.0 and 1.5-litre VTEC TURBO units can match the best of the competition when it comes to fuel and CO2 returns. The 1.0-litre unit manages up to 49.6mpg on the combined cycle (WLTP) and up to 110g/km of CO2 (NEDC). For the 1.5 VTEC, it's up to 46.3mpg and up to 128g/km. And the revised 1.6 i-DTEC diesel unit continues to offer a competitive package in this regard too, with a combined cycle economy showing of 62.8mpg (WLTP) and CO2 returns of 90g/km (NEDC). On to the warranty, a three year/90,000 mile deal, which is a bit better than most rivals who tend to offer guarantees limited to 60,000 miles. There's also a fixed-price comprehensive aftercare package called 'Five' which includes five years' servicing, five years' warranty and five years' roadside assist. Residual values of the old ninth generation Civic held up pretty well, so there's no reason to think that those of this improved variant will be any different.

The power curve shows the power consumption of the pump at a given flow.
P (power) can be calculated if η is known by using the following equation:ρ x g x H x Q
P = η
P = power [W]
ρ = density [kg/m3]
g = acceleration due to gravity [m/s2], "9.81" is normally used as the value for g.
H = head [m]
Q = flow [m3/s]
η = efficiency (has no unit)
The following equation is used to get a quick but not accurate calculation of the power:
Q x H x 2.73
P = η
P = power [W]
H = head [m]
Q = flow [m3/h]
η = efficiency (has no unit)
ρ and g are a part of the "2.73" factor, where ρ = 1000 [kg/m3] (water at 4 °C) and g = 9.81[m/s2]. Q is in [m3/h] instead of [m3/s] and is also a part of the "2.73" factor.

Whether you call them energy bites, cookie dough balls, or no-bake cookies, these little tasty morsels take just a few basic ingredients and turn them into a quick and easy sweet treat. We make many variations of dough balls, but this recipe is the simplest and favorite around here. Unlike regular cookie dough, the base of these chocolate chip cookie dough balls is a mixture of cashews and oats, giving them a nice dose of protein.
With a little supervision at the food processor, kids can easily make these on their own. I love keeping a stash of these in the fridge, but they never seem to last long. Let's get cooking!
Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls:
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 3 Tablespoons honey
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 Tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
Step 1: Add cashews and oats to a food processor and pulse until you get a flour-like consistency. You don't want to make cashew butter, but you don't want any big chunks either.
Step 2: Add maple syrup, honey, vanilla, and shredded coconut (if using). Pulse and mix until it forms a ball of dough.
Step 3: Remove dough from the food processor and stir in chocolate chips or chunks by hand. At this point, I like to stick the dough in the freezer for 5 minutes or so, to make for easier rolling.
Step 4: Get your clean-handed kids to come and help you roll the dough into balls. We make ours fairly small and bite-size. Sorry, no photos of us rolling – we were all too sticky!
This recipes makes about 16-18 one-inch dough balls. Store in the refrigerator or freezer. Eat and enjoy!
Happy cooking with your kids!

The Voting Rights Act of 1965, one of the nation's most important civil rights laws, requires states with a history of discrimination to get federal approval before changing how they conduct elections. That part of the law is still intact, but on Tuesday the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 the coverage map is based on outdated data. NBC's Pete Williams reports.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down a key part of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 — the map that determines which states must get federal permission before they change their voting laws.
Civil rights activists called the decision devastating, and a dissenting justice said it amounted to the "demolition" of the law, widely considered the most important piece of civil rights legislation in American history.
The ruling, a 5-4 decision by Chief Justice John Roberts, leaves the future of the law deeply uncertain because it will be up to a sharply divided Congress to redraw the map, if it can agree on one at all.
"In practice, in reality, it's probably the death knell of this provision," said Tom Goldstein, the publisher of SCOTUSblog and a Supreme Court analyst for NBC News.
The Voting Rights Act requires nine states with a history of discrimination at the polls, mostly in the South, to get approval from the Justice Department or a special panel of judges before they change their voting laws. The rule also applies to 12 cities and 57 counties elsewhere.
The law was renewed most recently in 2006, but the coverage map still uses election data from 1972 to determine who is covered. Some jurisdictions, including the Alabama county that brought the case, complained that they were being punished for the sins of many decades ago.
Roberts cited census data showing that black voter turnout now exceeds white turnout in five of the six states originally covered by the law.
"Our country has changed, and while any racial discrimination in voting is too much, Congress must ensure that the legislation it passes to remedy that problem speaks to current conditions," Roberts wrote for the court.
Aug. 6, 1965: President Johnson signs the Voting Rights Act into law.
The act was signed by President Lyndon Johnson. Congress has renewed it four times, and the 2006 renewal won a huge majority in the House and passed the Senate 98-0. That renewal extended the law through 2031.
As part of the ruling Tuesday, the court published a chart comparing white and black voter registration in 1965 and in 2004 in the six states originally covered. In Alabama, for example, the white registration rate was 69 percent and the black rate 19 percent in 1965. By 2004, that gap had all but disappeared — 74 percent for whites and 73 percent for blacks.
"There is no doubt that these improvements are in large part because of the Voting Rights Act," Roberts wrote. "The Act has proved immensely successful at redressing racial discrimination and integrating the voting process."
He cited two towns deeply scarred by the civil rights movement: Philadelphia, Miss., where three men trying to register black voters were murdered in 1964, and Selma, Ala., where police beat hundreds of people marching in 1965. Both towns now have black mayors.
"Problems remain in these States and others," Roberts wrote, "but there is no denying that, due to the Voting Rights Act, our Nation has made great strides."
He concluded: "If Congress had started from scratch in 2006, it plainly could not have enacted the present coverage formula."
The Voting Rights Act is invoked often. It was used to block more than 1,000 proposed changes to voting laws between 1982 and 2006, according to the Brennan Center for Justice, a public policy institute at New York University.
And last year, the Voting Rights Act was invoked to stop a voter identification law in Texas and a Florida law that eliminated early voting days, which the center said would have made it more difficult for hundreds of thousands of minority voters to cast ballots.
The states covered are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia.
Following the Supreme Court's ruling on the Voting Rights Act, NBC's Chuck Todd says he's a pessimist on Congress' ability to update the map that determines which states must get federal permission before they change their voting laws.
The future of the law in Congress is far from clear. Goldstein said that it was "unimaginable" that the Republican-controlled House would determine that, for example, Louisiana still harbors so much racism that it must subject its voting laws to federal approval.
President Barack Obama said in a statement that he was "deeply disappointed" by the decision.
The Voting Rights Act "has helped secure the right to vote for millions of Americans," he said. "Today's decision invalidating one of its core provisions upsets decades of well-established practices that help make sure voting is fair, especially in places where voting discrimination has been historically prevalent."
Veterans of the civil rights movement expressed deep dismay.
"I think what the court did today is stab the Voting Rights Act of 1965 in its very heart," Rep. John Lewis, a Georgia Democrat who was with President Johnson when he signed the law and who was beaten at Selma, said on the MSNBC program "Andrea Mitchell Reports."
Of the prospect of getting a new map through Congress, he said: "It's going to be hard, it's going to be very difficult, but people said the same thing in 1965."
Julian Bond, who helped found the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, said on MSNBC that the chances were "slim to none" that Congress would agree on a way forward for the law.
"This is a dysfunctional Congress," he said. "It's not doing anything now. It hasn't done anything for a number of years."
Roberts was joined by Justices Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy and Antonin Scalia. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a concurring opinion and said that he would have struck down not just the map but the requirement that any jurisdiction get federal clearance to change a voting law.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote a dissenting opinion and was joined by the three other members of the court's more liberal wing. She said that the court should defer to Congress.
"When confronting the most constitutionally invidious form of discrimination, and the most fundamental right in our democratic system, Congress' power to act is at its height," Ginsburg wrote.
"Hubris is a fit word for today's demolition of the VRA," she said.
The case was brought by Shelby County, Ala., which urged the Supreme Court to strike down both the permission requirement itself and the formula that determines which jurisdictions are covered.
The justices, particularly those on the court's conservative wing, had expressed deep skepticism when the case was argued in February that the permission requirement was still necessary.
The wide margins of approval in Congress, Justice Antonin Scalia said at the argument, are likely the result of "perpetuation of racial entitlement" — a remark that angered some veterans of the civil rights movement.
"Whenever a society adopts racial entitlements," Scalia said, "it is very difficult to get out of them through the normal political processes."
And the court signaled four years ago, in a decision that narrowly rejected a challenge to the permission requirement, that it had doubts about whether at least parts of the Voting Rights Act were constitutional.
"Things have changed in the South," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in that decision. "Blatantly discriminatory evasions of federal decrees are rare."

I was really looking forward to the Paper Ribbon but this is what Stampin' Up! has told us...
At the end of November, we (Stampin' Up!) posted a current update about Picture Perfect Paper Ribbon (145502) being unavailable for preorder due to environmental audits halting production of thousands of factories across China. Unfortunately, we—along with many other businesses worldwide—have continued to experience delays in production. As a result, we've decided the best course of action for you, your customers, and our company is to remove this item from our product offering.

This week I thought I would try to find out a little more about the wife of Benjamin Foss, Sarah Mitchell. Especially since there is a discrepancy with the Machias books stating her name is Sarah Getchell versus Sarah Mitchell. Is she a Mitchell or Getchell? I went to Google books to start my search. I found a couple of sources, but I think this one is going to be a little tough to track down.
The first book I found with some lead information was Old Kittery and Her Families by Everett Stackpole. On page 610 the genealogy of the Mitchell family can be found.
- William Mitchell marred before 1702 Honor ——-, (2) before 1715 Elizabeth, dau. of John Tenny of Kittery and Scarborough. He lived at the Isles of Sholes and at Black Point, Scarborough, where he was killed by Indians in his field 17 April 1724. Widow Elizabeth married Benjamin Haskins, and was living in 1748. Deeds show the following children "of William Mitchel of Scarborough, formerly of Kittery."
— Israel. M. 24 Dec. 1729, Mary Berry. He moved to New Meadows, Brunswick. His widow m. 17 July 1750, Joseph Getchell in Scarborough Children of Israel Mitchel bapt. In Scarborough, William, Mary, and Margaret.
— Christopher m. Deborah ——-, Ch. Bapt. In Scarborough, Jonathan, Mary, William, Deborah, Josiah, Jesse and Lucy. He moved to West Bath, Me.
— John of Scituate, Mass, in 1761.
— Job m. Susanna Brown 5 Han. 1743-4. Ch. Bapt. In Scarborough, Benjamin, John, Jeremiah and William.
— William m. 31 May 1744. Hannah Berry in Scarborough.
Elizabeth m. Joseph Drisco.
— Relief m. John Berry.
— Mercy m. James Marr 19 Mar 1746-7.
I found this read interesting for a couple of reasons. 1) If I am related to the Mitchell's a grandfather of mine was killed Indians, This interesting part is that I am also a descendant of sachem Autumsquin. 2) Is Israel Mitchell or Joseph Getchell the father of Sarah, which was Benjamin's wife? This is where the confusion lies.
I figured I should go back to see if there were any matches in the Church records in Scarborough for the Mitchell family. Below is what I found in the Maine Historical and Genealogical Recorder, VI.
Records of the First Congregational Church in Scarborough, Maine
Communicated by Wm. M. Sargent, ESQ
[p053] 1733: Jan. 21, Elizabeth Mitchel, widow.
[p117] 1734: Oct. 27, William, son of Israel and Mary Mitchell.
[p163] 1737: Aug. 14, Mary, daughter of Israel and Mary Mitchel.
[p171] 1745: June. 16, Margaret, daughter of Israel and Mary Mitchel.
In Volume III of the Maine Historical and Genealogical Recorder I found the marriage of Israel Mitchell and Mary Berry. I also found the remarriage to Joseph Getchell that was mentioned in the book Old Kittery and Her Families.
Records of the First Congregational Church in Scarborough, Maine
Communicated by Wm. M. Sargent, ESQ
By Rev. Wm. Thompson.
[p083] 1730: Dec. 24, Israel Mitchel and Mary Berry.
[p086] 1750: July 17, Joseph Gatchell and Mary Mitchell.
In Volume VIII of The Maine Historical Magazine there is a section called Notes of Machias. This section is further evidence of the marriage of Joseph Getchell and Mary (Berry) Mitchell. The date matches the record in the Scarborough records. The following text is from the Notes of Machias.
Benjamin Foss, from Scarborough, 1765: Married first Sarah Getchell Nov. 7, 1762, and second Hannah Miller prior to 1800; nineteen children, sixteen of whom had families.
Joseph Getchell, Scarborough, 1765: Married Mary Mitchell (?) July 17, 1750; Revolutionary soldier, Machias, 1777, Revolutionary pensioner; sold one-half of his homestead to Joseph Getchell, Jr., Dec. 28, 1780; two or more children.
Next I take a look at the Original Records of Maine Towns and Cities: Town of Scarborough to see what records I can find in there.
[CD1 P189] Israel Mitchel + Mary Berry were married Dec. 24, 1730
[CD1 P200] Margret the daughter of Israel Mitchel and Mary his wife was born the 2nd Day of May 1743
[CD1 P206] Israill Mitchell ad Mary Beary his intention of marriage was entered ye 17th of October 1730.
Yes the spelling is that good in the records. I found nothing new in the records.
I am now thinking that I should look in the original records of Brunswick to see if there are any records that show the birth of Sarah or ties to Israel and Mary. However, I think I can conclude that since Mary was remarried to Joseph in 1750, Sarah would have only been 12 or younger when she was married in 1762 to Benjamin if Sarah was born as a result of that marriage.
That is all for this week.
