You keep using that word…
I can see this thing is just going to run and run…
Earlier today, following on from numerous others, Aral Balkan wrote about it:
A person who calls for greater diversity is not necessarily advocating the implementation of a quota system — that's a straw man fallacy
No; it's not.
Diversity and merit‐based selection process are not mutually exclusive …
No, but artificial diversity is mutually exclusive with meritocracy. Aral quotes Matt Andrews:
I would have stopped once we'd reached, say, 17 male out of 22 possible speakers
… that is to say, the last 5 speakers would be chosen based not on their merits but based on their gender, or artificial diversity.
Aral continues:
In an industry where 27–29% are female…
Which industry is this again? The conference in question is for '[web] developers and browser vendors'; a field where the most recent A List Apart survey found approximately 9.1% of respondents who identified as such were women.
… if you manage to get a speaker line‐up with 0% female speakers, you have a bias.
Not necessarily; based on the above figures and assuming speakers were chosen purely on their strengths, you'd expect this to happen about 9% of the time for this number of speakers.
People who are interested in seeing greater diversity at conferences are not calling for a quota system. That's a straw man fallacy.
… except for Matt Andrews whose suggestion is to stop selecting based on merit and start prioritising by gender at an arbitrary number. In other words: a quota. It's not a straw man: it's an accurate description of what it is.
If, however, you reach 17 speakers and they're all male, you should realise that you've reached a point where you need to take a moment to introspect your process and attempt to modify it to reduce your selection bias. This does not mean that you stop at 17 and start looking for five women as Matt states. It means that you go back to step one and re‐evaluate your entire selection process.
'In order to solve the diversity issue first one must re-invent the universe'. We'll come back to this one.
The Diversity versus Meritocracy False Dichotomy. This fallacy […] erroneously implies that diversity and meritocracy are somehow mutually exclusive
Now who's using straw men arguments? Nobody, I think, would argue that it's impossible to have both a diverse and merit-based collection of conference speakers. What is being argued is that artificial diversity is mutually exclusive with using merit as the sole deciding factor. As has been shown, you simply can't guarantee that a set of speakers can always be gender-diverse given how few women work in web development.
Aral then posits an alleged argument put forward:
The conference has an all‐male speaker list, therefore the selection process must have been a meritocracy
I'm interested in hearing who thinks this, other than bigots from Hacker News. I've not seen a single rational argument on this subject which boils down this way.
Another version of this argument goes:
A conference that has a meritocratic selection process is bound to end up with few women.
Again, this is confusing correlation with causation.
It is doing nothing of the sort; the number of female web developers in the industry has a direct impact on the number of potential speakers for a conference that are female. Period. Not acknowledging this is essentially sticking your head in the sand.
Let's rephrase it:
A conference with a merit-based selection process is statistically more likely to result in fewer speakers from statistical minorities.
If you still refute this, then I have some 'lucky' lottery numbers to sell you.
As the three conferences linked to above can testify, not only is diversity possible in a meritocracy, it can actually thrive in one.
Again, nobody is saying diversity can't happen. But you shouldn't kid yourself that a statistical minority beating the odds of representation is something that should happen more than, well, it's statistically likely to. The only way that can happen routinely is through positive discrimination.
… the people who annoy me most on this subject are the ones who tell you to shut up about it. These men and women are happy with the status quo.
I'm fed up of hearing about this subject, and not because I'm happy with the status quo; I genuinely believe a better mix of genders (and indeed all types of diversity) can only benefit our art. But so far none of the polemics penned decrying the status quo have offered practical solutions or suggestion for how we can fix things.
Nebulous criticism of a 'broken selection process' is useless if it doesn't also come with proposed solutions. The developed world has long had a massive gulf in gender representation across all the sciences; it would seem a far more productive goal to try and influence education policy than to endlessly bemoan the symptoms without addressing the cause.
This Is For Everyone
But then all of a sudden the Olympic opening ceremony comes along, and millions of people sense - instinctively - that it isn't either-or or us-and-them. You can like and respect and respond to both Elgar and Dizzee, both the romantic national myth of the countryside and the achievements of the Industrial Revolution, both the older traditions cherished by the Right and the post-war developments cherished by the Left. On Friday night, miraculously, it suddenly all seemed to be part of one narrative, part of a shared national story.
Robin Carmody absolutely nails it — this is exactly why the ceremony brought a lump to my throat; the realisation that yes; this country of mine is unique and special and worth celebrating!
Why I'm backing App.net
Like many long-time Twitter users, I'm deeply concerned by the imminent (but as yet unconfirmed) threat to third-party developers who make use of the Twitter API. Twitter has evolved a great deal since its inception, but it would be wrong not to give credit to the ingenuity of third-parties who have helped make the service what it is today. Just to give a few examples:
- The term 'tweet' was coined by users, not the company themselves; it's now the official term for an update posted to the site.
- Hashtags, retweets, @replies and embedded media: all conceived by users and third-parties before being subsumed into the official Twitter product.
- The iPhone's arrival led to the creation of numerous innovative clients, whose behaviour inspired and directed the evolution of the web client, as well as in one case being acquired by Twitter as the first official iOS client.
- Even Twitter's branding is essentially a riff on the Twitterriffic Bird; the iconic design by David Lanham was clearly the inspiration for the bird which now serves as Twitter's only brand mark.
The rationale for Twitter's presumed cutting off third-parties is ostensibly about delivering a consistent experience, but the unspoken motive is financial: to ensure that advertising can't be bypassed by a third-party client. But there is a problem here, predicated on an assertion Michael Wolff makes in his fascinating article 'The Facebook Fallacy'; that advertisers are seeing reduced returns on their investment, with the net result that the value of online advertising is decreasing. To an extent, technological innovation and clever targeting can offset some of that decrease, but the endgame should be clear to all: that either the same amount of advertising will yield less revenue, or the amount of advertising will have to increase. The outcome of this battle is beginning to sound increasingly user-hostile.
I believe Twitter is one of the most important social inventions of the 21st century, and has tremendous power. That moment of realisation came for me first when Flight 1549 crash-landed in New York's Hudson River, and was photographed by an iPhone user, shared via TwitPic. That photo was seen all around the world within hours, but wasn't on the front page of newspapers until the following day. I later saw how it could be commercially invaluable when I was contacted directly by Etymotic Research after mentioning on Twitter that my earphones had broken, and they offered to replace them. All around the world companies now employ 'social media' staff, whose role is now effectively proactive customer service.
This usefulness is at risk if Twitter transforms into a vehicle for focused advertising, and I don't want to see that happen. I'd rather see Twitter die and something else take its place, in fact. Luckily it seems I'm not the only one who feels strongly about this, and so I'm happy to contribute towards an effort to build something that can serve the same (if not a better) purpose, that won't be beholden to advertisers. And if you are remotely as passionate about this as I am, then I urge you to pledge to contribute too.
How has it been possible for banks to grow from less than 4 per cent of the global economy to more than 12 per cent of the global economy without impoverishing others? How has it been possible for profits in the financial sector to be consistently higher than profits from other human endeavors with more tangible products or impacts on our daily lives - such as agriculture, transport, health care or utilities? How has it been possible that banks derive their profits not from the protected and regulated activities of deposit-taking and lending, but from the unsupervised and often unknowable escalation of off-balance sheet assets and liabilities? How has it been possible that pension savings have increased while pension returns have declined to the point where only bankers can expect a comfortable old age?
Global banks have built the casinos and tilted the odds in the house's favour by rigging the data that determines the outcomes of most of the bets on the table. Every one of us that sits at the table long enough - whether saver, investor, borrower, taxpayer or pensioner - will be a loser. It is not a flaw; it is feature.

On Opera & Vendor Prefixes
Reacting to Opera's announcement that their latest experimental builds of their browser software would be spoofing certain
-webkit vendor prefixes, I somewhat antagonistically vented on Twitter:
Hey Opera: nobody uses your crappy browser. Thanks for dicking over the web by implementing -webkit prefixes anyway.
Okay, the first part is most certainly not true; a lot of people use Opera (and as it happens, they have just published their State of the Mobile Web report for March 2012, so we can see what the data looks like right now). But whilst what I wrote was undoubtedly confrontational, having now looked some more into the situation I'm convinced that Opera have made a terrible decision out of desperation that will permanently damage web standards for little gain.
Opera is actively involved in the development of two mobile-oriented browsers: the enormously popular but atypical Opera Mini which mostly runs on older and non-smartphone devices, and the more modern smartphone-oriented Opera Mobile. When I asked, I was told that separate figures for how many people use each browser are unavailable. Given how eager Opera are to boast about how many Opera Mini users they have, it's pretty easy to conclude that the number of Opera Mobile users is a lot smaller. This is significant, as a major justification given for spoofing vendor prefixes is that it affects a lot of people; Opera currently only intend to make the change within Opera Desktop and Mobile.
Opera have tried to throw a feint by insinuating that this is to prevent their users from being locked out:
When people block access by certain browsers, whether by omitting CSS rules or actively blocking, we have a duty to our users to access that content.
This is an egregious straw man: the prefixes Opera are implementing are limited to transitions, transforms, border radius and box shadows. None of these are barriers to being able to access content; this is just how progressive enhancement works.
As it stands today, Opera Software is a profitable and growing business, as their latest quarterly report attests (PDF link). But this masks the underlying sea change that's happening with mobile Internet-enabled devices. Opera (along with Mozilla and Microsoft, the other parties intending to make this vendor prefix change) know full well that they're sitting on sand castles as the tide comes in. An increasingly large number of the mobile phone devices sold today are either iOS or Android-based, and as the technology matures and economies of scale improve, the share of the market that once belonged to feature phones will be swallowed up by cheaper iOS or Android devices.
Experienced web developers know that encouraging customers to install another browser is a difficult if not impossible task. It's even less likely that smartphone users will feel any need to install a third-party browser on their device when the default browser is easily good enough to begin with. Opera are faced with the knowledge that within a few short years, their user base could be eroded to almost nothing. This move is reflective of this realisation, and is one made out of desperation, with little concern for the long term implications to web developers and the standards process.
Vendor prefixes are, to be sure, a mess. But the situation we find ourselves in is not the fault of vendors implementing features this way, but of the glacial pace of the CSS Working Group in ratifying features that are already in widespread use. That another browser vendor feels able to spoof them shows the feature is already mature. The danger now is that 'bad' web developers will treat
-webkit as more than just a de facto standard, and the march towards a single dominant browser in the mobile space will gather pace.

Review: In the annals of melodic black metal, few bands achieve the extreme neo-psychedelic suspension of disbelief required to create an atmosphere of serenity and morbid determination, but here this is done through repeated figures in which central motifs are repeatedly transformed into their equivalent local to each figure. What is not forgotten is an essential, vital melodic and a basic structure to enclose in rhythm what is a majesty of simplicity and imagination.
1. Night on the Bare Mountain (Intro) (2:38)
2. The Winter Morning (3:35)
3. A Dark Dream (5:24)
4. The Final Battle (2:07)
5. Majesty of War (3:32)
6. My Bloodthirst (The Horrorstorm) (5:57)
7. Born of Darkness (4:55)
8. My Pagan Fatherland (Evil Power's Night) (5:02)
9. Forest of the Horrifying (Outro) (1:28)
Length: 34:40
Warbling resonant guitars pace their phrasal development over a basic beat, and then form a recombinant structure in which different passages connect in careful calibration of interlude, often inverting and reappearing to complement a similar structure. Melodies emerge from sequential chords wrapped around a change of motion in the ascendancy of tone, providing a wide gap of sonic geometry through which simple but lengthy neo-medieval melodies soar and dive. Patterns flower to reveal their internal instabilities which permit their consumption through inertia, and in the place of any fallen phrase a resurgent complement to falling appears. The internal equilibrium of these pieces is not calibrated on energy matching energy, but levels of energy balancing each other enough to present a brief inequality in which the genesis of a melody is shaped and nurtured. The gentleness with which composition amalgamates belies the structural savagery in which the edge emotion of barely consonant melodies diverges into rapid change or abrupt conclusion.
While the second Veles album is perhaps the more clarified work in technique and form, this release, with its long pauses and absurdist folk-influenced song structures, brings out the feral mindset in which rippingly empty power chord riffing brings out tunneling sonic pseudopods of harmonized phrases in order to gain the range it needs to outmaneuver its own dry, sweet and sour end. For morbid listeners who do not mind the second tier of abstraction away from popular music, Veles is black metal which requires concentration and an active response to emotion twisted into wave form.
Review: The more refined of the two Veles works, this disc offers Graveland-esque melodic metal with neo-medieval melodies set to the rotating refrain of a poetic cycle, and in this capacity bends noise and harmony to the same hand of expressing a melancholy and dark, morbidly warlike mood. Through varied dynamics and often a heavy use of silence, these songs express a world beyond with their dark impetus.
1. The Triumph of Pagan Beliefs
2. The Dawn of the New Empire
3. Uralten
4. Broken Cross
5. The Spirit of Ancient Europe
6. The Temple of the Infernal Fire
7. Black Hateful Metal
8. Millennium of Disgrace
9. After the Battle
10. Winds of the Vampires
11. Majesty of War
12. The Pact
13. Forgotten Time - Honoured Custom
14. Black Flames Spread Warfare
15. Battle-Din
16. Epos
Length: 70:50
Like many of the Polish bands, these warriors open their grimoire of aspirations to a former time with a Darkenesque introduction of repetitive simple harmonies around clusters of related melodies to render a landscape of tone, and in their arrangement and pacing are often similar to a more aggro Dead can Dance. Resonant tones resound in competitive structures while a basic theme emerges after the panoramic of motifs collides with its own impetus and resolves to a determined, even pace. What follows next is a sensible fusion between the basic power chord folk of the first Lord Wind album and the fluid immersion of melody that Behemoth put to good use on their first album. Themes are established in four-note chord runs in two-fingered speed picking noise channeling effect, and then mutated by interludes or accompaniment from acoustic guitars. Often lead picking uses a handful of notes to make sense of a previous tremolo powerchord interchange switching sides of a cyclic structure in exchange of momentums, or allows a basic melody to ride long before changing into a light picking rendition of the same. Lengthy interludes within and between some songs give texture to an otherwise mesmerizing release. Its rhythms resemble breathing and its tones the rising and falling of elemental organization schema, like the extermination of a lost tribe or the hunting of small creatures when the predators of the forest are in famine.
While this release showcases the majesty of a certain form of black metal when merged with folk music, its extremity in presentation often obscures what is strong music with distraction from focus and aesthetic overindulgence, where the music itself is strong enough to make an impression even in repetition. Among the giants of the Polish blackmetal movement, this release is the more formalized of two from a classic band.

She looks hot and actually feminine besides that.

MOTO at Domison
MOTO for Montreal–Toronto. (Version française en bas)
The temporary installation presents the works of cutting edge designers from both cities. Envisioned by My & Thien, this temporary exhibition aims to bring the two distant creative platforms closer.
A long history of rivalry between the country's two largest cities has often polarised many industries. Yet, everyday there are massive exchanges between both of them making one wonder how come the design scene in each city can be so isolated and secluded from each other.
To break this isolation, My & Thien with the help of Anne Thomas and Pierre Laramee as invited curators, are showing at Domison an exhibition celebrating the design talents of Montreal and Toronto. It's about creating a dialogue between these two design hubs. In short, let's introduce Montreal to Toronto and Toronto to Montreal.
For the time of the Montreal design week, this offsite installation, will be the ground to discover, see and enjoy great design studios from our two cultural capitals.
Location: Domison Montreal, 4117 boul. St-Laurent south of Rachel

GUELPH — The spotlight might have been on Erie Otters super rookie Connor McDavid, but it was the Guelph Storm's Tyler Bertuzzi who stole the show Friday night at the Sleeman Centre.
Bertuzzi snapped a seven-game scoreless drought with his first two goals of the season as the Storm downed the Otters 6-3.
McDavid, the 15-year-old granted exceptional status to come into the OHL a year early, had one assist.
"I've been a little bit frustrated, but I'm not a goal scorer," Bertuzzi said. "Still, it was nice to get that monkey off my back."
It was easily Bertuzzi's best game of the year, and not just because of the goals. He and linemates Patrick Watling and Ryan Horvat did a superb job of cycling the puck in Erie territory all night.
Watling had a goal and an assist and Horvat a pair of assists.
"We definitely did a good job of cycling the puck down low. Me and my linemates were all over them all night," Bertuzzi said.
The game was tied 3-3 heading into the third period, but Bertuzzi's second of the game — a spinning wrist shot from the slot that beat goaltender Oscar Dansk high stick side 1:46 into the third — proved to be the winner.
Coach Scott Walker has a theory about Bertuzzi's slow start. He said the Sudbury native, who grew about three inches over the summer, is still growing into his body.
"It's taking him a while to get used to his new size," Walker said, "but he's getting better every game and this was his best game not because of the goals, but because of the way he played."
Walker said Bertuzzi is "just a kid that wants to compete and wants to play and it's important he not think too much on the ice.
"Just go out and play," the coach said.
The game featured a bit of reversal of roles for a couple of Storm players. First it was Bertuzzi scoring the goals, then Tanner Richard flew in to fight the Otters' Adam Pelech after Pelech had rocked Bertuzzi with a hard check along the boards late in the third.
"Good for Tanner. I respect him a lot for that," Bertuzzi said.
There were also a couple of highlight reel goals from the Storm: a superb one-on-one effort by Scott Kosmachuk in the second period and great individual effort by Jason Dickinson in the third.
Garret Sparks was steady in the Storm net in stopping 34 shots, including some key saves early in the third period during an Erie power play when it was still a one-goal game.
Guelph (5-2-0-1) hosts the struggling Peterborough Petes (2-5-1) Sunday afternoon.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Fibre cement is a composite building and construction material, used mainly in roofing and facade products because of its strength and durability.
The term "cement" originates from the Latin word "Caementum", which signifies chopped stone. Cement describes a substance, which will react chemically with water and develop into a material hard as stone.
In fibre cement there is a fibre reinforcement, which contributes to making the fibre-cement material even stronger. Together with a carefully planned production process, fibre cement makes it possible to develop strong and long lasting construction materials.[1]
Today fibre cement is considered as a material physically suited for construction products such as cladding and roofing. It is primarily due to its function, performance and commercial value.[2]
Fibre cement flat sheet classified, by accredited laboratories, as Category A according to BS EN 12467: 2004 Fibre-cement flat sheets – Product specification and test methods are sheets which are intended for applications where they may be subject to heat, high moisture and severe frost. While the best possible Reaction to Fire Classifications are A1 (construction applications) and A1Fl (flooring applications) respectively, both of which mean "non-combustible" according to EN 13501-1: 2007, as classified by a notified laboratory in Europe, some fibre cement boards only come with Fire Classification of A2 (limited combustibility) or even lower classifications, if they are tested at all.
Fibre-reinforced cement-products were invented in the late 19th century by the Austrian Ludwig Hatschek. Principally he mixed 90% cement and 10% asbestos fibres with water and ran it through a cardboard machine. Originally, the fibres were of asbestos and the material was commonly used as siding in house buildings due to its low cost, fire-resistance, water tightness, light weight, and other useful properties. After the discovery in the seventies that asbestos is harmful to health and produces lung cancers years after professional or occasional exposition (asbestosis), asbestos use was progressively prohibited and safer fibre alternatives, based on e.g. cellulose fibres were developed in the eighties and applied to secure the widely known strength of fibre cement.
Fibre cement were probably amongst the latest materials on the market to have contained large quantities of asbestos. The reason is that the asbestos fibres are intimately bound to the cement matrix and were first considered to be well immobilized in the cement and less prone to be released in the environment, suspended in the air, and inhaled in the lung than in other materials or applications such as thermal insulation or flocking in which bare asbestos fibres were used. However, asbestos fibres are inevitably released during machining operations of the objects made of fibre-cement and by long-term erosion of the materials exposed to atmospheric weathering and wind when cement degrades. Occupational health concerns and the protection of workers in the fibre-cement factories have finally led to the progressive elimination of asbestos from these products.[1]
Users of fibre cement boards seeking for high performance and reliable green building materials should source products having been tested by accredited laboratories and proven that they are 100% free from asbestos or other harmful materials such as sepiolite, inorganic fibre or formaldehyde.
Fibre cement is a main component of long-lasting building materials. The main application areas are roofing and cladding. The list below gives some common applications.
Internal cladding:
External cladding:
Fibre-cement products have found a wide usage in various sectors of construction: industrial, agricultural, domestic and residential buildings, mainly in roofing and cladding applications, for new constructions and refurbishment projects.

Ira. Why and why not?
Ira is my latest guilty pleasure for a boy, thanks to a Berry naming her new son Ira Theodore. I'm very certain that my boyfriend would say no, but I'd like to get everyone's thoughts on this name anyway.
Ezra is one of my all time favorite boy names. But my uncle just named his daughter Ezri so I can't use it anymore. I was SO crushed. Ira seems like a good alternative to Ezra... Ezra is in the top 200 if I'm not mistaken, and Asa is in the top 600, so why not Ira? It seems like a solid vintage choice to me.
So how do you feel about Ira? Does it have potential or not? Is it "too" vintage/dated?18 | Name lover | No babies, just planning.

I, along with my family and friends enjoy the delicious food at this restaurant. The food is always super fresh and the service is impeccable. It may get a little crowded during lunch time, but it's definitely worth the wait. My favorite is the walnut shrimp, I have tasted everything on the menu for the past 5 years and I can honestly say, I have NEVER been disappointed. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone! Particularly those on a budget hunting for some good eats!

Excellent food and prepared just the way you ask for it too! I am very pleased with this restaraunt indeed. Look I have never eaten ins, so I could not rate the place, but as for everything else...five stars!
Posted by Joe on 04/11/2007
First of all their food always taste great! I hate it when I go to a restaurant and it tasted great the first time then the next time you go there, it isn't the same. Secondly, they always cook the food right in front where you can watch the chefs work their magic. This is not a typical strip mall Chinese restaurant, they really know how to cook authentic Chinese. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!!
Posted by Anonymous on 11/03/2006
I have only ordered delivery and never been inside, but the food is great and it is quite a good value. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable. Chinese Delight is my regular Chinese delivery spot.
Posted by Anonymous on 09/23/2006
If you live in North Hollywood you're lucky because amazing Chinese food is at your doorstep.
Posted by Anonymous on 07/20/2006
This is by far the best chinese food in the N.H area, and they deliver! They always cook the food fresh right when you order it. They serve big portions for a resonable price.

Today, Afghanistan's presidential election candidates Dr. Abdullah Abdullah and Dr. Ashraf Ghani signed a power-sharing deal, and the Independent Election Commission announced Dr. Ghani as President-Elect of Afghanistan.
"This was a moment of extraordinary statesmanship. These two men have put the people of Afghanistan first, and they've ensured that the first peaceful democratic transition in the history of their country begins with national unity," Secretary of State John Kerry said upon the formation of a unity government.
"Americans know very well that the road to democracy is contentious and challenging, but it's a road that leads to the best place. It doesn't happen overnight. We've had our own contentious elections and witnessed their aftermath. I've lived some of them. But if my recent visits to Kabul and the hours upon hours on the phone with these two men have taught me anything, it's how invested Afghanistan is in this historic effort."
On the outcome of elections, State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki said, "We congratulate President-elect Dr. Ashraf Ghani. We look forward to a close partnership with Dr. Ghani and Dr. Abdullah Abdullah as they form and work together in the Government of National Unity.
"Most importantly, we congratulate the people of Afghanistan. We recognize the millions of Afghan men and women who courageously went to the polls to vote on April 5 and again on June 14, defying Taliban threats to exercise their right to vote and to take their part in advancing democracy in Afghanistan. The bravery and collective hopes of Afghans must be respected by the government of national unity, which can now use its strong and credible mandate, and the legitimacy provided by the votes of millions of supporters, to implement a national reform agenda that will improve the lives of all Afghans."
U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan James Cunningham said, "...This critical point in Afghanistan's history demands that all Afghans, and especially their political, religious, and civil society leaders, come together in support of the new president, the chief executive officer, and their teams as they build a government based on genuine partnership. The United States looks forward to close cooperation with the new President and his government as they build on the progress which Afghanistan has achieved. We stand with the Afghan people, and will continue to support the country's security forces, governmental institutions, and economic development."

That great poetic promoter of America, Philip Freneau, once stated that the Mississippi was the most impressive of rivers and that others failed to compare with its majesty and breadth. In the years between 1930 and 1940, the United States Army Corps of Engineers caused the upper reaches of this mighty stream to be turned into an intra-continental canal, regulated and controlled for the promotion of commerce. The project changed forever the Upper Mississippi River into a commercial canal, access to which remains in the hands of the American military, specifically the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. As barges pass and seasons change, its impacts, both social and environmental, still vibrate up and down the riverine corridors of the Upper Mississippi Valley.
In 1986, the National Park Service's Rocky Mountain Regional Office entered into an agreement with the St. Paul District Office of the United States Army Corps of Engineers to produce Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) documentation of the locks and dams connected with Upper Mississippi River 9-Foot Channel Project in the St. Paul District. Four years later, 2 additional contracts between the National Park Service and the Corps of Engineers' Rock Island and St. Louis Districts allowed the National Park Service to complete documentation of the original 26-unit system from St. Paul, Minnesota, to St. Louis, Missouri. This HAER recordation project complemented the gigantic nature of the 9-foot channel itself, with hundreds of photographs, pages of history, and inventories. Those records, now stored as part of the Historic American Engineering Record archives in the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C., will provide future researchers access to the original elements of the 9-Foot Channel Project as built between 1930-1940.
This study relies extensively on materials located in Record Group 77 of the National Archives. Repositories at Kansas City, Missouri; Chicago, Illinois; St. Louis, Missouri; and Washington, D.C., provided thousands of linear feet of records generated as a result of the 10-year undertaking. Researchers also consulted thousands of maps, working drawings, elevations, and similar materials in the St. Paul, Rock Island, and St. Louis Districts. Sixteen-millimeter film footage of construction, and extensive black and white photography also provided valuable period documentation.
Because of the huge nature of both the Upper Mississippi 9-Foot Channel Project and the equally huge amount of documentary material associated with its construction and administration, research was divided into three separate phases. In 1986-1987, I researched and wrote the history of the St. Paul District's section of the 9-Foot Channel Project while working as a historian with the Rocky Mountain Regional Office's division of the Historic Americans Building Survey/Historic American Engineering Record, under the direction of Gregory Kendrick, Chief of the History Unit. Photographed by Clayton Fraser, the St. Paul District study set the tone and structure for the project. After completion of the St. Paul history, I acted as general manager for the remainder of the research in the Rock Island and St. Louis Districts, contracting with Mary and Peter Rathbun of Rathbun and Associates for the Rock Island portion of the work in 1987, and Dr. Patrick O'Bannon of John Milner and Associates of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for the St. Louis portion of the study in 1988. After my transfer to the National Park Service's Denver Service Center in 1989, Christine Whitacre of the Rocky Mountain Regional Office accepted the enormous job of editing the materials from the three studies into the single volume presented here.
The 9-Foot Channel Project involves social, political, economic, military, environmental, and technological histories. It touches labor and ethnic issues, and portrays the end of the American Progressive Era and the beginnings of the New Deal. It involves the economics of the Upper Mississippi Valley, and vividly reflects the role of the military in domestic issues. The 9-Foot Channel Project's impact on the environment was of a magnitude rarely experienced since the famous Hetch Hetchy project of California in the second decade of the twentieth century. It demonstrates the evolution of technology and its impact on man and his environment. Unfortunately, the project's documents also reflect the history of the era selectively; women and minorities only appear as shadows in its saga when they appear at all. The 9-Foot Channel Project as built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers represents not only an astounding engineering featit accurately reflects the tenor of a nation and its feelings concerning society, politics, economics, labor, the military, technology, and the environment in those hard years before the Second World War.
The Upper Mississippi River 9-Foot Channel Project represents a subject of inquiry that has been taken for granted for a number of years. It offers exciting prospects for research in a number of historical fields. It is hoped that this general technological survey of the project's construction and its history will inspire others to continue in-depth research regarding the various subjects touched on in this narrative. In building on previous research, questioning each interpretation, and continuing the dialogue so necessary to historical thought, we may all contribute to that phenomenon known as historical researchthat continual process of updating and reassessment that Belgian historian and educator Henri Pirenne so rightly called "the very proof of the progress of scholarship."

Years ago I heard the album Stone(d)henge from the rockgroup Ten Years After. On the cover were pictures of the large stones from Stonehenge. I always loved their music and as I saw the stones I knew I wanted to go there one day.
Well in july 2001 it happened. I visited the south of England and I also visited Stonehenge.
It was a weird experience!
I did some research on it and found out, that by now Stonehenge is in a very bad state and I saw that that is true.
Due to people who ruined a lot. And by the english government, who build a road with busy traffic very nearby and who made a path through the circle, that forms the whole Stonehenge. Well people will be silly always, I guess.
By now there is the English Heritage group, that is planning to look after Stonehenge. We will see,if they are going to do it the right way.
I hope they will restore Stonehenge and make it as it was. They can always make an attractionparc in the neighbourhood for people who only want to have fun and want to learn just a little bit about Stonehenge. Then the Henge again will become a sacred place, as it used to be!!
I don`t know exactly where Stonehenge was for, but it always gave me a dark feeling.
I think, that Stonehenge was a burial place. Furthermore a place for initiation, an astronomical calendar(the summer and winter solstice at the 21th of june and december) and for contact with extraterrestrials. Like the piramids of Gizeh there is a portal to other worlds.

Great Products for an Amazing Machine!
Best Uses
Comments about Xerox Phaser 7400 Black Imaging Unit (108R00650):
The Xerox Phaser 7400 is an amazing workhorse printer. My only regret is that they have replaced the machine with a different model. Our Phaser keeps kicking out pages in black and white and color, on difficult stock, as long as we use Xerox products. It doesn't like the fakes - it only hums on the real things. I strongly recommend this unit if you have a 7400.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

TEAMS: Washington Redskins, Dallas Cowboys
TEAMS: Washington Redskins, Dallas Cowboys
This is going to sound weird, so maybe have a seat, but the Washington Redskins are off to a promising, smart start to the NFL's free agency period. Yesterday news emerged that the Skins have agreed to terms with four key players: left guard Kory Lichtensteiger, tight end Logan Paulsen, fullback Darrel Young and linebacker Rob Jackson. Each player gives the team valuable skill at a variety of positions, and all of the reported contracts look to be friendly to both player and team. There's a season worth of highlights for each guy, but one stands out above the rest: Rob Jackson's interception on Tony Romo that sealed the NFC East title. (I would like to embed that video here, but the NFL won't let me.) Expect much more news to emerge around the Skins with free agency set to begin in earnest Tuesday morning. Not all the news looks good, like reports the Skins will likely lose special teams boss Lorenzo Alexander. For now, be happy with solid moves that suggest a team trying to keep a...

First it was the debacle of HealthCare.gov, the botched Obamacare website, that dominated coverage of the Affordable Care Act's rollout. The new insurance exchanges were a disaster — technical malfunctions, frozen screens, interminable wait times, error messages, lost data. President Obama had promised that the new system would make getting health insurance as easy as shopping online — "the same way you'd shop for a plane ticket on Kayak or a TV on Amazon," he'd said. What he delivered instead, as Democratic Senator Max Baucus predicted months ago, was a "huge train wreck."
Last week that train wreck grew huger.
