OFFICE ENROLLMENT SLAVES, Savannah, Ga., June 15th, 1864.
To the Slave Owners of Georgia.
In accordance with orders from the Secretary of War, in pursuance of the Act of Congress passed February 17th, 1864, another call upon you for slave labor to work on the fortifications of the coast, is hereby made. In consideration of the planting interests of the country, the Major General Com'dg has postponed the time for receiving the slaves until July 1st, and it is expected that all planters will promptly respond at that time.
Captain John McCrady, Chief Engineer of Georgia, directs me to state that the negroes will be worked in healthy localities on the salt water, and consequently the apprehensions usually felt in regard to removing negroes from the interior to the low country during the summer, need not exist in the present case, as the locality of the work is equally healthy with the interior.
A well organized medical department at the head of which is an experienced Physician of Savannah, has charge of the sanitary condition of the negroes.
Having made every arrangement that can conduce to the health and comfort of the negroes, and to the convenience of their owners, a prompt response to this call is confidently expected.
The counties will be called upon in an order determined by the number of times they have contributed previously, those being first enrolled which have heretofore furnished no labor at all, or who have furnished a less number of times than others. Credit will thus be given for former contributions, not only to counties, but to individuals–and on the other hand all parties in every county, who have heretofore escaped the Enrolling Officer, will be compelled to furnish their respective quotas.
Yours very Respectfully,
Capt. & Ass't Quartermaster, in charge.
Savannah, Ga., June 15th, 1864.
In the hiring or impressment of slaves within the Military District of Georgia, the Enrolling Officers, charged with those duties will be governed by the following instructions:
I. You will strictly comply with General Orders No. 32, A. & I. G. O., March 11, 1864, and with such other instructions as are herewith given.
II. You will not impress free negroes, or other free persons of color, as by order of the War Department, the Bureau of Conscription is charged with their enrollment, and they have been assigned to certain duties in connection with the military service under the act of Congress of Feb. 17th, 1864[.] The present call for slaves is to supply the deficiency thus created according to the provisions of the same act.
III. Before proceeding to impress slaves you will endeavor to obtain from each owner or controller, by voluntary contract, the quota liable to be furnished for the period, and upon the terms and conditions set forth in these instructions[.]
IV. Slaves under eighteen and over fifty years of age are exempt from impressment. All male slaves between those ages are liable to be impressed, subject to the following exceptions.
1. Only one out of every five male slaves, between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years can be taken from any owner by impressment.
2. If an owner has but one male slave between the ages of eighteen and fifty years, such slave cannot be impressed without the consent of his owner.
3. No impressment shall be made of slaves employed in the domestic and family service exclusively. And where there are not more than four male slaves between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years upon any farm or plantation, none of those four will be impressed.
4. All male slaves, actually in the employment of the Government, under contractors, or employed by Rail Road companies, at the time the labor is demanded under these orders, are exempt from impressment while so employed.
V. In impressing slaves you will take them in equal ratio from all owners in the same locality.
VI. In each case of impressment you will allow a credit for all slaves already impressed under the Act of Feb'y 17, 1864, and who are still in service, or have died or been lost while in service.
(NOTE. At the date of these instructions no previous impressments have been made under this act, in this Military District.)
VII. You will demand from each owner, hirer or controller of slaves within your county the quota of slaves which such party is liable to furnish according to Paragraph IV, of these Instructions, to serve for a period of time not longer than six months. You will impress one fifth of all such slaves between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years, and one fifth of those between the ages of forty-five and fifty years, regarding especially the exemptions set forth in Sec. 2., 3. and 4. of Paragraph IV. of these instructions.
VIII. You will receive none but sound and healthy male slaves, and should any one furnish an unsound or unhealthy slave, who upon examination by the Surgeon in charge, shall be rejected and declared unfit for service, then all expenses, of every description attending the impressment of such slave, shall be chargeable to the party, and a sound and healthy male slave required instead.
IX. You will offer the following compensation for slave labor at the time demanded whether hired or impressed:
For Laborers, thirty dollars per month.
For common Carpenters, thirty-five dollars per month.
For good Carpenters, forty-five dollars per month, besides rations, medicines and medical attendance, and one suit of clothing for every six months of service.
If the owners or their authorized agents shall not consent to receive the sums offered, (or in any case of disagreement as to the amount of compensation) you will cause just compensation to be ascertained and determined by the judgment of two loyal and disinterested citizens of the city or county in which the contract of hire or the impressment may be made, one to be selected by, or in behalf of the owner, and the other by yourself, which two citizens, in the event of their disagreement, shall choose an umpire of like qualifications, whose decision shall be final. The persons thus selected, after an oath to appraise the value of the services of the slaves, hired or impressed, fairly and impartially (which oath may be administered by yourself) shall proceed to assess just compensation for the services of each slave per month.
X. You will require the owners or controllers from whom slaves may be hired or impressed to furnish them with a comfortable supply of good clothing, shoes and blankets or other bedding, as only one suit of clothes, as before stated, will be furnished by the Confederate States, during a period of six months service.
XI. Owners of slaves will be allowed to furnish a suitable Overseer for each gang of fifty or more slaves (hired or impressed) who will be paid by the Confederate States fifty dollars per month and rations, and such Overseer shall be at all times subject to the control of the officer in charge, and may be dismissed by him for any misconduct.
XII. The Confederate States will be responsible to the owner of every slave hired or impressed for his full value, in the event of the loss of such slave, while employed in their service, by the act of the enemy, or by escape to the enemy, or by death inflicted by the enemy, or by disease contracted while in any service required of said slave, during the period for which he may have been hired or impressed. In case such value cannot be agreed upon by the owner and the Impressing Officer, it shall be ascertained and determined by appraisement in the manner and at the time prescribed in Paragraph IX., of these instructions. The Confederate States will not be responsible for any slave not returned by reason of fraud or collusion on the part of the owner or agent, or overseer appointed to superintend them, nor if his death should be caused by the act of God, or by disease existing when the slave is received by the Confederate authorities.
XIII. Whenever the appraisement either of the value of the services of the slave or slaves hired or impressed, or of the full value of such slave or slaves shall for any reason be impracticable at the time of said hire or impressment, such value shall be assessed as soon as possible in the manner prescribed in paragraph IX of these instructions.
XIV. You will endeavor in all cases to obtain the consent of the owner of the slave or slaves hired or impressed, to have the appraisement of the full value of the same made at this Office, by an Appraiser appointed by the owner or controller to meet the Government Appraiser for that purpose, these two in case of disagreement to appoint an Umpire, which will constitute a Board of Experts to determine the valuation. It is believed that this course will prove equally satisfactory with an appraisement made in the county of impressment or hire, and it will conduce greatly to the convenience of the officers in charge and the facilitation of business. Such consent and all other consents and agreements provided for herein, must be in writing and signed by the owner or party furnishing the slaves, in presence of a witness.
XV. Should the owners prefer furnishing subsistence to their slaves, the rations will be commuted for at the rate allowed soldiers in service for corresponding months.
XVI. You will request the owners to furnish their slaves with three days rations, that they may be supplied with food until they arrive at this office and are ordered to the works.
XVII. You will use all due dilligence in the discharge of your duties, and be particular to notify the owners of the conditions of the orders under which you act, the time and place in your county where they are to turn over to you their required quota of slaves, which you will deliver at this office as soon thereafter as possible.
XVIII. In obtaining the quota from your county, you will use only peaceful and conciliatory measures, as coercion is only intended for those who wilfully resist the law. Should these means fail, summon to your aid such assistance as you shall deem necessary to obtain the quota of such selfish and unpatriotic parties as refuse. Should you still fail, report at once to this office those who refuse, and the number to be furnished by them, when the law will be enforced by military power. In case of slaves thus impressed, the term of service will be extended to a period not exceeding twelve months.
XIX. The term of service will be computed from the time of their departure to their return to their homes.
XX. All payments for slave labor will be made after the termination of service, and should parties authorize others to collect their pay or hire, they must furnish proper powers of attorney, in duplicate duly signed and witnessed, and in case of Administrators, Executors, Guardians, Trustees or Agents, the certificate of the Ordinary of the County in duplicate, will be required in attestation of such fact.
XXI. All claims for the enrollment and impressment and hire of slaves, will be paid at this office, to which all communication connected with this department must be addressed.
XXII. Receipts will be given to each owner or controller of slaves when appraised, which must be returned to this office when the quota is discharged.
XXIII. You will endeavor so to direct the time of receiving the slaves, that their delivery at this office shall not be on Saturday Night or Sunday, that labor may be avoided on that day.
XXIV. You will issue Certificates of Transportation to the Rail Road Companies over whose roads you may have to pass, stating the number transported, which will be redeemed with Tickets at this office.
XXV. You will endeavor to obtain the entire quota of your county at one time, so that the enrollment may be at once consummated.
XXVI. Clerks for receiving and delivering the slaves will be at the depots on the arrival and departure of the trains.
XXVII. Should you find parties so unpatriotic as to endeavor to evade the impressment by representing to you a less number than their required quota, you are hereby authorized to have all such parties sworn to the truth of their statements and representations.
Capt. & Ass't Quartermaster, in charge.
Amendment to Paragraph VII.
Provided, That if a party has not five slaves between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years, but has five or more slaves in all between the ages of eighteen and fifty years, you may impress from those between the ages of forty five and fifty years, a number equal to one-fifth of such party's entire force.

How to Create a Bootable CD from an .iso file
I have downloaded the 8.0-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso file.
Obviously, I don't understand how to use the .iso file scenario because I cannot create a boot'able CD. I have read the man pages, Handbook pages and Googled ad nauseam. (FYI . . .from a philosophical perspective, there is TMI in the ether these days; you can ask . . .one hundred people and you'll get one hundred different "How I did it" solutions regarding Linux, Unbu2toUtoo, Windoze . . .good luck if any are pertinent . . .but I digress. )
If I understand what I'm reading regarding FreeBSD's livefs, then once copied to a CD, it should be bootable . . .useful as an emergency startup tool, if for example, you've hosed your loader.conf file; therefore, your system will not boot . . .as I have done
I've tried several configurations using Nero (on a Windoze box), and none of the resulting CDs are recognized by the BIOS de jour of any box'es mainboard. I've looked and experimented with mkisofs . . . but is that really necessary in consideration that 8.0-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso already is an iso file? After all, the romance literature states that the CD should be boot'able. But that is counter intuitive to me, because the fact that you burn (i.e., copy) the iso file object to a CD does not convey any information that the BIOS will recognize, i.e, that doesn't create any boot block info on the CD.
On the other hand, when I've run something like mkisofs -o 8.0-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso -no-emlu-boot -b eltorito_boot_image pathspec, the iso file just gets a little bigger. Nothing is written to the CD . . .which is understandable because the mkisofs just operates on the iso file. The next logical step would be to copy it to a CD. Well, ok . . .fine. Only the CD is still not recognized by the PC's BIOS as a boot'able device.
So . . .question, what am I missing here? One of my unsuccessful Nero experiments actually "unziped" the iso file and created the individual directory-file objects. I could mount the CD and read the contents, but it still was not boot'able. What should I do.
Burn the file as a raw image, NOT as a data file in a file system.
OK . . .but should the burn be effected with Windoze/Neno or cdrecord(1)? (or should it matter?) Regarding the raw scenario, that is a little nuance that is not clearly indicated in the documents . . . how would one know (rhetorical question)? Regarding Neno and "raw" . . .I've read (out in the ether) to avoid "raw" !!!
Thanks, I'll try "raw".
BTW & FYI . . .wasted CD-R's can be launched with a trap "flinger" (they actually fly better than regulation clay pigeons . . .probably a lift to weight ratio thing) regardless, the last one was last seen across the street, southbound over my neighbor's house
This is "raw" in the sense of the zeros and ones on the media, not the CD media burning method.
No, it matters not what you use. Try googling for "nero" and "iso" and see if you can find the simple howto you seem to need. I haven't used Nero in ... more than ten years, so I cannot guide you step by step
If you have Nero Burning ROM installed, just double-click the ISO and burn. It's that easy!
May the source be with you!

Selecting Rationalist Groupspost by Eliezer Yudkowsky (Eliezer_Yudkowsky) · 2009-04-02T16:21:11.355Z · score: 35 (40 votes) · LW · GW · Legacy · 34 comments
Previously in series: Purchase Fuzzies and Utilons Separately
Followup to: Conjuring an Evolution To Serve You
GreyThumb.blog offered an interesting comparison of poor animal breeding practices and the fall of Enron, which I previously posted on in some detail. The essential theme was that individual selection on chickens for the chicken in each generation who laid the most eggs, produced highly competitive chickens—the most dominant chickens that pecked their way to the top of the pecking order at the expense of other chickens. The chickens subjected to this individual selection for egg-laying prowess needed their beaks clipped, or housing in individual cages, or they would peck each other to death.
Which is to say: individual selection is selecting on the wrong criterion, because what the farmer actually wants is high egg production from groups of chickens.
While group selection is nearly impossible in ordinary biology, it is easy to impose in the laboratory: and breeding the best groups, rather than the best individuals, increased average days of hen survival from 160 to 348, and egg mass per bird from 5.3 to 13.3 kg.
The analogy being to the way that Enron evaluated its employees every year, fired the bottom 10%, and gave the top individual performers huge raises and bonuses. Jeff Skilling fancied himself as exploiting the wondrous power of evolution, it seems.
If you look over my accumulated essays, you will observe that the art contained therein is almost entirely individual in nature... for around the same reason that it all focuses on confronting impossibly tricky questions: That's what I was doing when I thought up all this stuff, and for the most part I worked in solitude. But this is not inherent in the Art, not reflective of what a true martial art of rationality would be like if many people had contributed to its development along many facets.
Case in point: At the recent LW / OB meetup, we played Paranoid Debating, a game that tests group rationality. As is only appropriate, this game was not the invention of any single person, but was collectively thought up in a series of suggestions by Nick Bostrom, Black Belt Bayesian, Tom McCabe, and steven0461.
In the game's final form, Robin Gane-McCalla asked us questions like "How many Rhode Islands would fit into Alaska?" and a group of (in this case) four rationalists tried to pool their knowledge and figure out the answer... except that before the round started, we each drew facedown from a set of four cards, containing one spade card and one red card. Whoever drew the red card got the job of trying to mislead the group. Whoever drew the spade showed the card and became the spokesperson, who had to select the final answer. It was interesting, trying to play this game, and realizing how little I'd practiced basic skills like trying to measure the appropriateness of another's confidence or figure out who was lying.
A bit further along, at the suggestion of Steve Rayhawk, and slightly simplified by myself, we named 60% confidence intervals for the quantity with lower and upper bounds; Steve fit a Cauchy distribution to the interval ("because it has a fatter tail than a Gaussian") and we were scored according to the log of our probability density on the true answer, except for the red-card drawer, who got the negative of this number.
The Paranoid Debating game worked surprisingly well—at least I had fun, despite somehow managing to draw the red card three out of four times. I can totally visualize doing this at some corporate training event or even at parties. The red player is technically acting as an individual and learning to practice deception, but perhaps practicing deception (in this controlled, ethically approved setting) might help you be a little less gullible in turn. As Zelazny observes, there is a difference in the arts of discovering lies and finding truth.
In a real institution... you would probably want to optimize less for fun, and more for work-relevance: something more like Black Belt Bayesian's original suggestion of The Aumann Game, no red cards. But where both B3 and Tom McCabe originally thought in terms of scoring individuals, I would suggest forming people into groups and scoring the groups. An institution's performance is the sum of its groups more directly than it is the sum of its individuals—though of course there are interactions between groups as well. Find people who, in general, seem to have a statistical tendency to belong to high-performing groups—these are the ones who contribute much to the group, who are persuasive with good arguments.
I wonder if there are any hedge funds that practice "trio trading", by analogy with pair programming?
Hal Finney called Aumann's Agreement Theorem "the most interesting, surprising, and challenging result in the field of human bias: that mutually respectful, honest, and rational debaters cannot disagree on any factual matter once they know each other's opinions". It is not just my own essays that are skewed toward individual application; the whole trope of Traditional Rationality seems to me skewed the same way. It's the individual heretic who is the hero, and Authority the untrustworthy villain whose main job is not to resist the heretic too much, to be properly defeated. Science is cast as a competition between theories in an arena with rules designed to let the strongest contender win. Of course, it may be that I am selective in my memory, and that if I went back and read my childhood books again, I would notice more on group tactics that originally slipped my attention... but really, Aumann's Agreement Theorem doesn't get enough attention.
Of course most Bayesian math is not widely known—the Agreement Theorem is no exception here. But even the intuitively obvious counterpart of the Agreement Theorem, the treatment of others' beliefs as evidence, receives little shrift in Traditional Rationality. This may have something to do with Science developing in the midst of insanity and in defiance of Authority; that is a historical fact about how Science developed. But if the high performers of a rationality dojo need to practice the same sort of lonely dissent... well, that must not be a very effective rationality dojo.

So far there've only been LW/OB meetups in the Bay area -- is there any way we could plot the geographic distribution of LW members and determine whether there are other spots where we could get a good meetup going?
I have put up a post for everyone to tell us where they are in the world.
There's been meets on the East Coast too, but it's about time they expanded beyond America's shores.
Here's a vote for London!
The trouble with the scoring as described is that it is not zero sum, and, as far as I can tell, constitutes a prisoner's dilemma. That is, if you would cooperate on the one-shot PD, you should also completely ignore a red card handed you. This can be remedied by giving the red card -3 times the score of the group.
ETA: I suppose this PD-equivalence collapses if one player believes themself to be significantly more effective than the other three (or if anyone believes anyone believes this etc. etc.)
I like the concept of the Paranoid Debating game, but would propose one modification. Rather than always having a player assigned to deceive, have one with 50% probability, but don't reveal to anyone (except the deceiver) whether there is a deceiver in the group. To implement this with a group of n players, first choose a spokesman and give him a spade, then deal each other player one card from a deck containing 2n-3 black cards and one red card.
As another possible variant, introduce a small (say, 1/52) chance that everyone except the spokesman is red, and everyone except the spokesman knows it. To implement this, first choose a spokesman at random, then choose a dealer from the remaining players. The dealer looks at one card at random. If it's the ace of diamonds, he prepares a deck containing only diamonds; otherwise, he prepares a deck containing 2n-3 black cards and one heart, shuffles it and then deals from it. Getting a diamond means that everyone else has a diamond; getting a heart means that everyone else has black cards.
Heh - why should you know whether all the others are evil or not? How interesting would it be, if, by being pulled hard in different directions by liars who didn't know the others were lying, the spokesperson ended up with a more accurate estimate?
There's endless variety here, since this is essentially a form of Werewolf) about real facts. I can't wait to play it.
Heh - why should you know whether all the others are evil or not?
Logistics. It isn't practical to have someone shuffle a deck if they aren't allowed to see any of the cards they're shuffling, so if you're using playing cards to assign roles, at least the dealer will know whether or not the players are all red.
One possible solution would be to have a PDA or smartphone assign the roles, and pass it around. If you do it this way, you could also have a small chance that one player is given the exact real answer. (But red players could falsely claim that they have it.)
Our version had one person (Robin Gane-McCalla) as central coordinator. Also, it's quite possible to shuffle small units of cards without seeing their undersides.
A simple variant with interesting results would be to deal everyone one card from a full deck. Anyone who is dealt a diamond is a deceiver. The dealer can be the spokesman, so it will rotate each turn. This way there is a 1/4 chance that any given person is a deceiver, and a small (1/(4^n))-ish chance that all n players (including the dealer) are trying to deceive each other.
Trying to reach the best outcome for everyone with an unknown number of deceivers in the mix? Sounds like life.
But the spokesperson is the only one known to be trustworthy who has to put together the final estimate - if they're a deceiver, they can just say "One googol!" or whatever.
Paranoid Debating suggestion: after uncovering the red menace, spend a few minutes trying to figure out what effect the disinformation had on your estimate, then make a new one.
Repeat with the reformed Red joining in.
Average all the group members' suggestions as to how many Rhode Islands will fit in Alaska, then throw out the guess farthest from the average, re-average, and make that the center of your distribution.
Ah... sorry for not being clear. My suggestion was meant to help participants test their rationality, learn about biases, and internalize that knowledge through experience, not as a way to improve their estimate.
"[...] collectively thought up in a series of suggestions by [...] Black Belt Bayesian [...] and steven0461."
Aren't these the same person?
They are.
Ah. Okay, wasn't sure about that.
Why 0461, if it's not too private?
I thought I should pick something more unique than "steven"; the specific number is one of those one-person in-jokes.
As someone who is largely not likely to ever attend a LW/OB meetup, is there any chance of organizing a net-based variant of this game? It sounds reasonably fun and useful.
It would be easy to play it on IRC, if we had a suitable webapp to support it. I've created a #lesswrong channel on irc.freenode.net - not sure it's in-mission for them, but I guess they'll decide that. I'll add something about timezone to my location survey.
we were scored according to the log of our probability density on the true answer, except for the red-card drawer, who got the negative of this number.
This part still needs to be improved by someone. Log probability densities are only defined up to an additive constant log of a scaling factor. A player could get a high score by drawing the red card for a question with an answer in small units.
To normalize the scores, you could subtract the average of the log probability densities across groups.
I feel I ought to say that I really appreciated this post.
I have been struggling for some time, as I read through the archives, with the degree to which isolated intellectual problem-solving is presented as the heart of Fun. This very much does not describe "my Way" and I have been feeling increasingly alienated by it.
Consequently, it is a great relief to me to see you acknowledge that your essays are "skewed toward individual application."
It's not that I'm opposed to it, and it's not that I expect you to change your style (not least because you're reading this, if you are, 18 months "in the future").
I just appreciate the acknowledgment, however transient, that it is one Way among many.
The game that Paranoid Debating most reminds me of is Mafia (or Werewolf).) Most of the players are cooperating to achieve a common goal, but there is a minority of secret saboteurs who are trying to achieve the opposite goal. I didn't think it was an interesting game until I played it with a group of skilled players, and then I had a lot of fun.
Other games might be enjoyable in a Paranoid Debating-like format. For instance, Paranoid Go could involve teams that decide collectively which move to play, and each team includes one saboteur who is trying to make the team lose.
Regarding chicken breeding: individual selection would do better with a larger breeding population. In a population of size N, destroying a rival's egg reduces the average per-chicken egg output by 1/N, but laying an egg increases your own output by 1. Sabotaging rivals becomes less important as population size increases.
Group selection probably still produces better outcomes, because then chickens will actually cooperate instead of being (at best) indifferent to each other.
You can notice this same effect in all sorts of zero-sum games. If there are only two players, then sabotaging your opponent is exactly as important as helping yourself, but if there are many players, then sabotaging your opponents becomes less attractive.
There is a reason selective breeding in business tends to focus on behavior, rather than personnel, in the very least the turn around is much faster and your replacement population will be more strongly influences by the positive selection.
It seems a good lens to view various management trends and ideas, to see what effects they could be predicted to have on both the people-space and behavior-space populations.
On the other hand, games as selectors can serve a dual role, both as a calibrated test and as a means to learn, especially because of the potential influence of play on reinforcing the less conscious techniques used in rationality. Unfortunately, there is a risk of diminishing returns if the game is used too much for either purpose.
When we tried Paranoid Debating at the Boston meetup a few years back, we often had the problem that the deceiver didn't know enough about the question to know which direction to mislead in. I think the game would work better if the deceiver were simply trying to bias the group in a particular direction rather than make the group wrong. I think that's also a closer approximation to real life - plenty of people want to sell you their product and don't know or care which option is best. Not many just want you to buy the wrong product.
This seems like a key missing ingredient in a lot of the "rationality dojo" suggestions I'm seeing - there's a heavy focus on competition and individual selection, and not a lot of focus on rationalist groups.
This post is really about 2 issues, both interesting. The 'game' thread is interesting and fun.
However, the 'group vs individuals issue' deserves attention as well! I believe it is entirely true, and this simple observation may sky-rocket efficiency in many areas. At the same time, this isn't very apealing on a personal level. There doesn't seem place for our ego's anymore. That may be rational, but not fun. Also, as individualists will collectively agree, groups just. suck. I can't be creative 'in a group'. And I suspect I am not alone in that...
I'm puzzled about why people preferred the spokesman version of paranoid debating to the initial version where the median number was the team's answer. Designating a spokesman publicly as a non-deceiver provides information about who the deceiver is. In one case, we determined who the deceiver was by two of us telling the spokesman that we were sufficiently ignorant about the subject relative to him that he should decide based only on his knowledge. That gave our team a big advantage that had little relation to our rationality. I expect the median approach can be extended to confidence intervals by taking the median of the lows and the median of the highs, but I'm not fully confident that there are no problems with that.
I have more comments about Sunday's game here.
This game sounds a lot like Mafia).

3.0.6-rc1 (2013-08-08)
- Security: Require ADMIN for
?flush=1(stop denial of service attacks) (#1692)
Security: Require ADMIN for ?flush=1
Flushing the various manifests (class, template, config) is performed through a GET
parameter (
flush=1). Since this action requires more server resources than normal requests,
it can facilitate denial-of-service attacks.
To prevent this, main.php now checks and only allows the flush parameter in the following cases:
- The environment is in "dev mode"
- A user is logged in with ADMIN permissions
- An error occurs during startup
This applies to both
flush=1 and
flush=all (technically we only check for the existence of any parameter value)
but only through web requests made through main.php - CLI requests, or any other request that goes through
a custom start up script will still process all flush requests as normal.
Thanks to Christopher Tombleson for reporting.
- If you have created your own composite database fields, then you should amend the setValue() to allow the passing of an object (usually DataObject) as well as an array.
- If you have provided your own startup scripts (ones that include core/Core.php) that can be accessed via a web request, you should ensure that you limit use of the flush parameter
- Translation entity namespaces can no longer contain dots, since it conflicts with the YAML format.
- Translation entities defined in templates now use their fully qualified entity name without dots.
BackLink_Button.ss.Back, after
BackLink_Button_ss.Back. Please fix any custom language files or uses of those entities in custom code.
- If using "Māori/Te Reo" (mi_NZ) as your CMS locale, please re-select it in
admin/myprofileto ensure correct operation (it has changed its locale identifier)

About Gaia
ESA's Gaia mission will create the most precise 3D map of our Milky Way by measuring a billion stars in it.
Gaia will be launched on a Soyuz rocket from Europea's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. It features the largest CCD focal plane, with 106 CCDs totalling almost a billion pixels, making it the largest digital camera ever used in space.
With Gaia's unprecedented 3D map at hand, we will improve our understanding of how our Galaxy evolved, how it came into being and why it is the way it is. Scientists also expect to discover thousands of planets beyond our Solar System, tens of thousands of failed stars and 20 000 exploding stars.
ESOC in Germany will operate the satellite and ESAC in Spain will prioritise the science. DPAC, a consortium of more than 400 scientists, will analyse the flood of a million gigabytes of data that Gaia will produce during its five-year life.
The spacecraft was designed and built by Astrium, with a core team of Astrium France, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Editor's note: Michael Brune is executive director of the Sierra Club and former director of the Rainforest Action Network.
(CNN) -- The oil disaster plaguing the Gulf of Mexico and our coastal states puts our desperate need for a new clean energy economy in stark relief. We need to move away from dirty, dangerous and deadly energy sources.
We are pleased that the White House is now saying it will suspend any new offshore drilling while the explosion and spill are investigated, but there should be no doubt left that drilling will only harm our coasts and the people who live there.
Taking a temporary break from offshore drilling is an important step, but it's not enough. We need to stop new offshore drilling for good, now. And then we need an aggressive plan to wean America from dirty fossil fuels in the next two decades.
This BP offshore rig that exploded was supposed to be state-of-the-art. We've also been assured again and again that the hundreds of offshore drilling rigs along our beaches are completely safe. Now, we've seen workers tragically killed. We've seen our ocean lit on fire, and now we're watching hundreds of thousands of gallons of toxic oil seep toward wetlands and wildlife habitat.
This rig's well is leaking 210,000 gallons of crude every day, wiping out aquatic life and smothering the coastal wetlands of Louisiana and Mississippi. As the reeking slick spreads over thousands of square miles of ocean, it rapidly approaches the title of worst environmental disaster in U.S. history, even worse than 1989's Exxon Valdez oil spill. The well is under 5,000 feet of water, and it could take weeks or even months to cap it.
This disaster could unfortunately happen at any one of the hundreds of drilling platforms off our coasts, at any moment. It could happen at the drilling sites that the oil industry has proposed opening along the beaches of the Atlantic Coast.
Indeed, even before this spill, the oil and gas industry had torn apart the coastal wetlands of the Louisiana Bayou over the years. These drilling operations have caused Louisiana to lose 25 square miles of coastal wetlands, which are natural storm barriers, each year.
Another view: Why it won't be easy to replace fossil fuels
And it's hardly just the environmental costs of oil spills that we have to worry about with offshore drilling. The threat to the people who work on these platforms has again become terribly clear. In fact, more than 500 fires on oil platforms in the Gulf have injured or killed dozens of workers in just the past four years, according to the federal Minerals Management Service.
We don't need to pay this price for energy. We have plenty of clean energy solutions in place that will end our dependence on dirty fossil fuels, create good, safe jobs and breathe new life into our economy.
One huge example came Thursday, when the Obama administration approved our country's first offshore wind farm.
Our country has huge solar power potential as well. We can also save more oil through simple efficiency measures than could be recovered by new drilling on our coastlines.
This oil spill changes everything. We have hit rock-bottom in our fossil fuel addiction. This tragedy should be a wake-up call. It's time to take offshore drilling off the table for good.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Michael Brune.

"I'm not afraid to stand up to the leaders in Albany to make necessary changes and voice my opinion," said Comaianni, who is no stranger to taking charge of difficult situations, having served as the president of Community Education Council District 24 for the last seven years.
As a candidate for the 38th Assembly District, Comaianni's own ideas involve seniors, veterans, the economy and education. He feels that seniors should receive more breaks in the form of tax credits or some sort of subsidy so that they don't have to decide between paying taxes and utilities on a house they've already worked hard to pay off, and feeding themselves.
Comaianni also believes there aren't enough support systems in place for veterans. A veteran himself, he recalls coming home from the service and having no clue as to what services were available to him. After meeting a young vet who had recently come home, he realized that little had changed in 20 years.
"It was sad for me to see the same situation I had getting out of the military," said Comaianni. "You risk your life for your country, and then there's nothing waiting for you."
He mentioned that when Citi Field and the new Yankees Stadium were built, the work of putting anti-corrosion/anti-rust coating on metal, which is Comaianni's particular industry, was contracted to out-of-state companies.
Especially in times of fiscal uncertainty, he said, projects need to remain in New York State. He also scolded the Assembly for cutting important programs and raising taxes instead of looking into and eliminating programs that no longer work.
One area he would never cut, said Comaianni, is education, a subject he knows well.
"Education's not the first thing you look at and it's not something you look at with the rest of everything else," he said. "Kids get an education one time only in their lives, so you definitely don't want to touch that. That's the future."

This next week we celebrate the 24th of July, the commemoration of the entrance of first Mormon Pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley in 1847. All of the Mormon immigrants to the West are considered to be pioneers if they traveled between the years of 1847 and 1868 when the railroad was built to Utah. I write about this for a number of reasons. First and foremost, because 14 of my 16 Great-great-grandparents were pioneers. Some died in the attempt to cross the Plains, other suffered incredible hardships, such as my Great-great-grandfather Sidney Tanner who lost his infant son and namesake, when a wagon rolled over his head.
As I write this, we have just begun celebrating the 24th here in Utah with a pancake breakfast and a symbolic pioneer trek by the neighborhood children in a parade. Shortly, my wife and I will drive the Mormon Trail from west to east, on a trip to Springfield, Illinois, that will also involve a stop in Nauvoo, Illinois, the start of the Mormon exodus across the continent. My ancestors were driven out of Nauvoo in the dead of winter, to face a 1300 mile trek across the wilderness.
The Mormons were mobbed and persecuted across the country, starting in New York state, until they finally made their stand in the barren desert valley of the Great Salt Lake. My own ancestors either settled in parts of the Utah Territory, or moved on south as settlement missionaries to Arizona. Only two of my Great-grandparents were born outside of the West, one great-grandfather was born in Indiana and another was born in Denmark and came to West as a small child.
The 24th of July is a state holiday in Utah and involves parades and fireworks. I kind of understand the parades, but I am at a loss to understand the connection with fireworks other than as a general celebration. My relatives, along with all of the other pioneers, were a persecuted minority that was literally driven out of the country. In 1847, the part of the continent that became Utah was still part of Mexico.
I think the words to the hymn by Ida R. Aldredge in the video say it well.

A Bensalem man was arrested after police say he killed his own mother with carbon monoxide from a portable generator. Neighbors however have a different story, and claim that the mother's death was the result of a suicide pact between her and her son.
On Monday around 11:25 p.m., police responded to the Longmeadow Apartment complex on the 3000 block of Bristol Road for a report of fumes coming from the interior of an apartment unit.
When the responding officers and firefighters arrived, they were met at the door by 30-year-old Koustantinos Yiambilis.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
The officers entered the apartment where they found Yiambilis' mother, 59-year-old Karen Yiambilis, lying unconscious on the bedroom floor. She was taken to Aria Torresdale Hospital where she was later pronounced dead.
Koustantinos Yiambilis was also taken to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. Residents in four adjacent apartments were evacuated until officials determined the scene was safe.
According to police, a preliminary investigation found that Yiambilis intentionally caused the death of his mother by using a portable generator. He was arrested and charged with criminal homicide, risking a catastrophe, recklessly endangering another person and other related offenses.
Despite the charges, neighbors who spoke with NBC10 say they believe the incident was actually a suicide pact between the mother and son who had recently been hit by hard times.
According to neighbors, Koustantinos Yiambilis was fired from his job last Friday and needed brain surgery after suffering a serious head injury. With his mother unemployed as well, the family didn't have the money for the procedure.
Friends also claim that Karen Yiambilis was the one who actually asked to borrow the generator from a neighbor Monday morning.
"I really don't think it was homicide at all," said Jessica Shaffery, one of the neighbors. "I think that they just had a lot going on and they didn't have the resources that they needed for themselves. I think it was just too much for them to handle at that point."
Yiambilis was arraigned and detained with no bail. He will be transported to the Bucks County Prison once he is healthy enough to leave the hospital.

Over the last couple months I've been posting pictures of my watercolour paintings. I hadn't painted with watercolour prior to starting the class in October.
The main difficulty with watercolour as a medium is that it's difficult to fix a painting once you have made a mistake. Even with that shortcoming I found that I really enjoy painting with watercolour.
Since this has traditionally been a homeschooling blog, I bought another domain for posting my watercolour paintings. It's not completely set up yet but it's live.
It will be after Christmas before I do much more to it but I will finish the setup within the next month or so. Check out Original Watercolour.

I read a wonderful post on Wednesday from a blog I follow called, "Living on a Dime," and it's a post well worth reading. It reminds us all to be thankful for the things we've got even if they aren't quite perfect or what we want. Give it a read and share your thanks.
In the spirit of giving thanks, these are a few of the things that I'm grateful for:
-My husband. For being able to tolerate my moodiness and late nights. Who always supports my dreams and keeps me grounded and focused on what is really important in life and for giving me two beautiful boys (for Christmas I would like a third).
-My boys. They may drive me absolutely nuts sometimes, but I'm a tough woman to please. They are incredibly smart and well behaved. They don't get into trouble in school and only pick on each other. They are extremely empathetic and strive to do what's right.
-My family. We're talking everyone not living in my house now. I've got a great mother and step-father, three incredible sisters, awesome cousins, aunt and uncles, and a gorgeous niece. And that's only on my side of the family. I've also been blessed to have just about the best in-laws in the world. In fact, I don't really look at them as in-laws. They are family, mother, father, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, cousins and 5 of the handsomest nephews and cutest niece (and grand-niece) I could have ever asked for.
-You. Without you reading all the silliness I post, I'd be talking to myself and on my way to being committed! Your encouragement, advice and support mean more than I could ever say.
-My government. Yes, people complain about those folks in power, and they aren't getting much done right now, but it's the best in the world regardless of it's drawbacks.
-Health. My family (apart from some cooties here and there) are fairly healthy.
-Health insurance. For having insurance so that when we aren't healthy we can get better and for check ups and immunizations that keep us from getting sick. To exist without it would be devastating and unimaginable.
-Water. The severe drought in Texas reminds me how lucky we are to still have water when some communities are beginning to run out.
-My house. It's not my dream home, but it's beautiful, sturdy, and clean. It shelters us from the excessive summer heat, the crazy Killeen winds, and the cold (if you can believe that it gets cold, here...it does!).
-Food. We are lucky to have food when there are many people that will be going without not just on Thanksgiving, but go hungry each day. Remember them and not just during the holidays.
-My church. I don't go as frequently as I should, but it does lift me up and remind me of the person I want to be. It reminds me of my heritage and ancestors each time I go. It is something we have in common.
-A good school for my children. To have a school that has teachers that care for and educate my children, that challenge my children and encourage my children. To know that they are safe at school and that they are in the best learning environment we could give them, inspires me to tolerate the PTA nonsense that has been holding up my business and career goals.
-The PTA. Ironic isn't it, but it's true. Parent involvement, regardless of how pathetically low it is nowadays, is essential for our children. The PTA is a great resource for families, schools, teachers and the community. Being their president has helped me learn to be a bit more diplomatic and less drill-sergeant-like when dealing with less than nice people (but the drill sergeant does come out when needed).
-Cub Scouts. I cannot say how important scouting is to our family. I wasn't an active parent in scouting when I first started and pushed it off as a father-son activity. It is not. It has helped me work with my oldest son to prepare him for independence better than I could have done alone. It has forced me to let go and let him be the wonderful young man that he is and that he will be. It has taught him so many life lessons. My Pack is exceptional as are it's leaders and boys.
I could go on all night. I realize now, and need to every day, that no matter how hard things are, they are not too bad. Sure someone has it better than I do. I'm the 99%...but you know, many people have it worse than I do. I will be thinking and praying for those struggling during the holidays and throughout the year and hoping that our nation can eventually be one, where kids don't go to bed hungry or in a car (or worse).
So this season when you hear that bell ringing, or see that giving tree, or the box for the local food drive, give thanks for what you have and then give...even a little...to help someone else that isn't as fortunate.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and pass the cranberry sauce!

After a tough journey and setback at UMass Lowell on Sunday, UMBC (4-10, 0-1 America East) heads right back on the road to face defending league champion Albany (7-7, 1-0) at SEFCU Arena on Wednesday, Jan. 9 (7:00 p.m. tip-off). Live streaming is available on the America East digital network at www.americaeast.tv. Streaming is also now available on most mobile devices.
RETRIEVER UPDATE: Due to travel concerns, UMBC bused the 7.5 hours to and from UML this weekend. Despite getting out to a 15-0 start, the Retrievers struggled from the floor over the last 30 minutes and fell to the Riverhawks, 59-54. FR G Rodney Elliott, who just earned his third league Rookie of the Week honor, led UMBC with points, but his 3-point attempt to tie the game in the final seconds was off the mark.
GREAT DANE UPDATE: Albany got off to a tremendous start in league play with a convincing 81-56 victory over Hartford on Jan. 4. UA his a program-record 16 treys in the contest. Guards Peter Hooley (25 pts.) and D.J. Evans (20 pts.) combined to hit 12-of-17 shots from behind the arc. Hooley, a sophomore, leads UA with 14.9 points per game, while junior forward Sam Rowley averages 12.6 points and a team-high 6.7 caroms per outing.
WHO'S UP NEXT: UMBC returns home to face an explosive Maine squad at the RAC Arena on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. UMBC's first six league games occur in a span of 16 days.

That would unerve me too. Glad all was OK. I would go the 10% route.

Ack... driving through that.. I'd tip a lot. I'd want to tip that pilot too. I'm glad your baby was safe and sound.

Have I mentioned how much I HATE flying? Um, yeah...hate tipping too. Can't help you out there.

If anyone in this area ever took a cab anywhere, I might know the tip rule. It would seem that I am lacking in knowledge.

I have no clue. The only public transportation we have in our neck of the woods is a neighbor who stops to rescue you when you have a flat!!!

- Debbie said...
A cab? I've only ridden in one once. In Destin, FL. My Mom and I walked too far on the beach and had to take a cab back to the campground, where hubby paid!!
I'm thankful Bird made it back!! Christmas will be here soon :)

Don't ask me. The first time I was ever in a cab was when I was in the city with you, Annie & Daryl this year.
Matt was on a flight like that, heading back to C'ville once. He said everyone was using the barf bags and it stunk, making more people use them. Sorry for the mental picture there.

Split the difference: 15%.

I normally do not tip cabs more than an extra dollar, maybe two if they made me laugh or something. I had a flight similr to that, one time from Norfolk to Roanoke, in a small jump prop plane, there was an air force pilot, two nuns, and me. I was sure I was going to die.
Glad she made it back safely.
- December 8, 2009 at 10:21 AM
- Merrily Down the Stream said...
Heck if I know - I live in no-cab-land!
We are considering a move to CT - must chat.
email me your email?

- Patty said...
No matter the age or our kids, they still worry us. My Mother always wants me to call her when I get home so she'll know I arrived safely. We live a little over 20 miles from each other. But the last two times I have visited, I've had to drive home after dark alone.
- December 8, 2009 at 12:18 PM
- abb said...
You have a child and the only guarantee in your life from that point on is you will worry. Every. Single. Day. For the rest of your life.
Oh, and 15%.
- December 8, 2009 at 12:36 PM
- Unknown said...
If my cab driver takes the long way, it comes out of his tip. Anyway that's my rule. I'm so glad she made it back to VA safely.
- December 8, 2009 at 12:56 PM
- Karen Deborah said...
I dunno. I never take a cab.
- December 8, 2009 at 12:57 PM
- Daryl said...
Here in NYC standard tip is $1-2 dollars ... unless you go to the airport, then its $5 plus tolls.
Love Tuesday Texts!
- December 8, 2009 at 1:10 PM
- Donalyn said...
You never stop worrying about them. I actually prefer not to know when they are going anyplace. We don't got no cabs out here in the wilderness, so I can't help with that :)

Yeah what BHE said!

It's been so long since I've been in a taxi that I don't remember.
I feel your pain about the worry. SD drove back out to California (alone) after she came home to get a new (used) car we'd gotten her. I was a mess until she called...
- December 8, 2009 at 2:56 PM
- Tammy said...
The waiting must have been terrifying!
- December 8, 2009 at 3:13 PM
- Nancy said...
Thank goodness we can watch their flights sometimes. Southwest doesn't have that and that is the airline we use the most - so I just hang out waiting to see it say "landed". Then the sigh of relief.
My husband usually used Carrie Cars and it's included in their charge. I have no idea!
- December 8, 2009 at 4:27 PM
- Chesapeake Bay Woman said...
The only public transportation around here is Bay Transit, and that involves senior citizens and oversized vans and I'm pretty sure no tipping is involved.
However, I always err on the side of tipping more rather than less, but that's because I don't get out much.
That had to have been one helluva nerve wracking period of time. Can't even imagine, but my day will come soon.
- December 8, 2009 at 8:31 PM
- Louise said...
Wow! that is scary. Glad Bird is home safe and sound.
Thanks for visiting my new digs. Take care.
- December 8, 2009 at 10:26 PM
- Laura ~Peach~ said...
no tip clue i have never been in a cab in my life.
glad she made it ok and many many sugars for the boy from you :) he smiled when i told him where they come from...

Is your life a beach? Then be sure to collect this limited-edition towel featuring an image from Martin Parr's new book Life's a Beach. Martin Parr has been photographing beaches for many decades, documenting all aspects of them, including close-ups of sunbathers, rambunctious swimmers caught mid-plunge, and the eternal sandy picnic underway. This towel is produced in a limited edition of 150 on the occasion of the exhibition and publication Life's a Beach (Aperture, 2013).
You'll be the talk of the shore as you sunbathe with this striking image of a sunbather, printed at thirty by sixty inches on 100% cotton fabric. It's machine washable, so wrap up your little ones in style as they devour their popsicles.
Martin Parr (born in Epsom, England, 1952) is a key figure in the world of photography, recognized as a brilliant satirist of contemporary life. Author of over thirty photography books, including Common Sense, Our True Intent Is All for Your Delight, and Boring Postcards, his photographs have been collected by museums worldwide, including the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, new York's Museum of Modern Art, and the Tate Modern, London. A retrospective of his work continues to tour major museums around the world since opening at the Barbican Art Gallery, London, in 2002. Parr is a member of Magnum Photos.

81.3 Cooperative Agreement.§ 81.3 Cooperative Agreement.
Upon determination by the Secretary that a State program is adequate and active and complies with § 81.2, the Secretary shall enter into an Agreement with the State. A Cooperative Agreement is necessary before a Project Agreement can be approved for endangered or threatened species projects. A cooperative agreement under § 81.2 must be reconfirmed annually to reflect new laws, species lists, rules and regulations, and programs, and to demonstrate that the program is still active and adequate. The Secretary, in determining which species are most urgently in need of a conservation program as provided for in § 81.2(e), shall apply the following criteria: (1) The degree of threat to the continued existence of the species; (2) the recovery potential of the species; (3) the taxonomic status, e.g., giving full species priority over subspecies or populations; and (4) such other relevent biological factors as determined appropriate.[41 FR 15016, Apr. 9, 1976, as amended at 44 FR 31580, May 31, 1979]
