|July 1
In 1776, reacting to Thomas Jefferson's refusal to excise a paragraph condemning the slave trade in the proposed declaration of independence from Great Britain under debate in the Continental Congress, the delegations of South Carolina and Georgia vote "no" on its adoption. Since it had earlier been agreed that adoption required a unanimous "yes" vote, the resolution fails.
Collapse of the Revolt by Eric LippsFollowing the vote, the Georgia and South Carolina delegations walk out. Other Southern delegates follow soon after, causing the Continental Congress to disintegrate. News of the political disaster soon reaches the armies in the field and, predictably, ignites a wave of desertions. By the end of September, the Continental Army has been reduced to disorganized bands of guerrillas.
The leaders of the revolution find themselves forced to flee; Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin arrive in Paris in December and seek the protection of King Louis XVI. With the collapse of the revolt, British control tightens, backed up by a huge infusion of fresh troops sent to "restore order" in the rebellious colonies. One of their assignments is to identify and hunt down remaining "rebels".
Before the year is out, the so-called Order Police, a paramilitary organization charged with suppressing dissent, will have been established, with offices in every colonial capital.

• Wicker Celebrates the Gift of Family
U.S. Senator
Spending time with family and loved ones is a cherished part of the holiday season. As we celebrate Thanksgiving this week, we should remember the adoptive families and individuals who have opened their hearts and homes. No amount of thanks can match the positive impact they make in a child's life.
Since 1995, November has been designated as National Adoption Month to help raise awareness about the adoption of children in foster care. For thousands of these children, the long wait for a permanent home ends on National Adoption Day – observed this year on November 19 – as communities across the country come together to celebrate the gift of family. Over the last decade, adoptions have been finalized for more than 35,000 children on National Adoption Day.
Waiting for a 'Forever Family'
Many Americans are supportive of adoption, yet there are more than 100,000 children in the United States currently waiting for a "forever family." According to Mississippi Families for Kids, our state has 3,000 children in need of adoptive parents.
Mississippians are known for being generous, and this reputation extends to taking care of our children. Last month, I had the honor of recognizing Debbie Velie of Tupelo as one of this year's "Angels in Adoption" for her extraordinary work as an adoption counselor and advocate. The award is sponsored by the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute (CCAI) – a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that seeks to give every child his or her right to a family. I am a proud member of the coalition and will continue to support legislative action benefiting those who decide to adopt.
Addressing Adoption Concerns
A few years ago, a column in The Washington Post made an interesting observation. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the number of women who wanted to adopt far exceeded the number of children waiting to be adopted. The column's author, adoption advocate Jeff Katz, suggested that closing the gap would take streamlining the screening process and putting better recruiting tools in place. This year, National Adoption Month is focusing on ways adoption professionals can enhance their capacity to recruit and retain prospective families.
Unfortunately, a number of misconceptions still exist about adoption and the children in foster care. Some Americans believe foster children have a record of juvenile delinquency. Others think adoption is too expensive.
In truth, the majority of children in foster care are the victims of abandonment or abuse. Costs can vary widely, but adoption from foster care is typically the least expensive. The adoption tax credit and employee benefits can help further reduce expenses.
Celebrating Our Everyday Heroes
We have a responsibility to protect our youth and make sure they have the support and love they need for success later in life. Every child deserves to grow up in a stable and caring home.
The decision to adopt is a life-changing one, but raising a child comes with countless blessings. Those who choose to welcome a child into their hearts and homes are among this country's many everyday heroes. I wish them – and all families – a very special Thanksgiving.

5 reasons your partner doesn't go to the farmers market with you..
- tcamp Mar 21, 2014 09:19 AM
from TheKitchn - several of these ring very very very true for me! I can count on one hand the number of times my spouse has been to the FM with me. In 20 some years.
I like farmer's markets, but I rarely go because I like sleeping in on Saturday mornings.
re: FoodPopulist
Hear hear.
Are there Farmers Markets for the non-9-5 set?
Because we like our local FM...but wish it was open 10-2...or 3.
When it comes to "shopping" or "sleeping" , sleeping wins.
re: pedalfaster
I've come across a few evening markets - Monterey, CA, and Sonoma CA have some (funny, both of these are in the middle of big farming areas). One of the San Francisco ones is right in the business district, at the Ferry Building. There have been some attempts to coordinate among various markets, to have some open from 8-12 and others from 1-5 on the same day to let the farmers get exposure to more customers.
re: tardigrade
In my area there are afternoon and evening markets. One of my favs is Friday afternoon, 4-7 and perfect to hit on the way home from work. But doesn't open until May 1.
re: tardigrade
The one in monterey on alvarado st is where i shopped with my parents growing up!
Spoiled me for life since its such an amazing farming community the produce is pristine and crazy cheap!
re: FoodPopulist
Me too. My DH goes without me. Now that we are retired I may start getting up and going.
Because they are perceived as a female thing....doh! By a lot of guys. In the vein of the wife or girlfriend cooks the food. Me (guy) like them but it is done quickly. I am not into lingering there. Get those Brussels sprouts on a stalk etc....then out!
SO won't even go to the regular market with me. I love the Farmer's Market and am often up at the crack of dawn on Sundays but the parking is insanity.
That was hilarious. I wouldn't want to go to the farmers markets that are described in the link either. I loved the produce market when we lived in Louisiana, but it's not a traditional farmers market, and it's open every day but Sunday. No need to deal with the crowd as I just went early on weekdays. And they even had local produce frozen if I wanted big bags of frozen okra when it's out of season.
I miss it.
Once in a blue moon (well, not a blue moon - let say a great while) Mr Rat will go with me. He loves food, loves to cook and is bothered less by all the alterna/hippie things mentioned in the article than I am, probably, and since we are in NYC and don't drive parking is not an issue. Also we have multiple farmer's markets here and even the Union Square one is open several days a week, so less of a crush. But he's always worked nights, and now swing the last year so it's rare for him to be able to do anything like this during the day.
I rarely go to farmers markets not because I don't like them (because I do), but because the ones around my way all operate during my work hours. The very few I've managed to catch with-husband-in-tow are in no way the kind depicted in the article. My town's market, for instance, has maybe 6-8 vendors at most and if you want to chat, great. If you don't want to, they won't hassle you. Same time with the next closest market.
Anyone live near the Farm Kings farmers market? Goodness!.. Ill hit that. :-)
I think my bf would rather go to a farmers market over a grocery store. I dunno he dosnt really do either. He not a cook and has no or little interest.
Problem is when I lose him at a f.m I don't know where to find him. At the grocery store I know he'll be at the magazine rack.
#3: "Why do I hate the farmers market? Because why would I want to have to interact with people who would actually pay legal tender for a 'chi massage.'"
This +1000
My wife dislikes farmers markets more than I do, and I'm not a big fan of them in general. To be frank, if we're going to be stuck someplace that stinks of patchouli, wet hemp, and "eclectically" attired folk we'd rather go to our local Renascence Festival.
At least at the Renfest we can distract ourselves from the the nonsense by drinking vast amounts of beer from plastic cow horns, stuffing our faces with overpriced turkey legs while watching my son enjoy a cheesy sword fight.
1) It's Saturday morning, lets sleep in.
2) You're the cook.Go by yourself,I'm not that into it
3) I'm playing golf this morning.
4) Just grab something I'll stay here and ............
5) You just want to check out that dude again.
Some interesting assumptions in the article - it's men who don't want to go, women do the food prep, everybody has to drive....
My husband is usually the one who suggests we go to the local FM, and parking isn't a problem since we walk. Even when I visit the FM near my sister's in upstate NY we have no problems parking within a few blocks. Being an invisible person, I find I have no more problems with strollers and carts than I do at the local supermarkets, where people love to walk into me (do they get points for this? Special discounts? Can anyone sign up?). The musicians are limited to a certain area, so they can be easily ignored. Food prices aren't necessarily cheaper, but the variety and selection are generally better.
6 weeks until the local market resumes!
re: tardigrade
Loved your post.
After a loooong hard winter here in the Midwest we both are looking forward to the Farmers Market.
You made some good points. I think in many ways the social aspect of the FM actually outweighs the food.
re: tardigrade
My local market is within walking distance. Although I have to admit, since they started a drop off for food waste, I sometimes drive if I have a really full compost bucket. I like the social scene too. I almost always run into friends and love to chat with the vendors. No patchouli in evidence.
Didn't the writers of thekitchn have kind of an acrimonious, sudden breakup? Maybe that is where this article is coming from. That said, I agree with a lot of it and go to early and less popular markets. (I'm lucky to live in an area wher there are different markets every day of the week all within 10 or so miles of each other.)
re: charlesbois
The founders of Apartment Therapy/The Kitchn did divorce not too long ago. He still runs AT, she still runs TK.
It's cool -- we aren't attached at the hip, and we don't have to go everywhere together.
So I go to the market -- he either stays home, or if we're traveling, he and the offspring head off to a park, to wander other stands (even they admit that markets can have a fun atmosphere) a restaurant, or a museum, and we meet up later.
Everybody's happy (and while they don't enjoy the markets, they do enjoy the meals....)
I agree with all those reasons. Nevertheless, I go once in awhile, because:
1. I don't have to drive and park.
2. I go alone, so don't have to hang around any longer than necessary. I get the one or two things I want and escape.
The increase of food trucks have made it more interesting for my boyfriend to spend the morning with me at a farmers market. But I sometimes end up walking back and forth between stalls to get the best looking berries. That is less fun for him.

As noted by Richard Stanley fans, Dust Devil, the feature following his box-office hit Hardware, failed to find release, and when it did, a terrible edit drastically altered the story. Subversive Sinema has now released the director-approved final cut of Dust Devil, in a box set that also contains Dust Devil's working edit, the film's Sergio Leone-like soundtrack, and three riveting Stanley documentaries: The Secret Glory, Voice of the Moon, and The White Darkness. Dust Devil, a horror story based on the myth of a Namibian serial killer, looks more like a Western. Filmed on location in Africa where the murders allegedly took place, Chelsea Field plays Wendy Robinson, a woman, who under duress of leaving her husband, heads out to the desert to accidentally encounter the Dust Devil (Robert John Burke), a mercy killer who slays depressed women to save them from the dark side. According to locals, the Dust Devil is a demon, enabling Stanley's abiding interest in world folk religions to weigh heavily in on the plot, especially when the town's witch doctor visits the beyond to unlock mysteries, or when the Dust Devil displays a box containing his victims' fingers. The documentaries, however, are most exciting. The White Darkness unravels political and social aspects of Haitian Voudon, including the history of American Imperialism in Haiti, as told by skilled priest and priestess, Altes Paul and Edelle. Voice of the Moon shows footage of Afghani rebels in the late '80s, sans narrator, instead beautifully accompanied by native music and poetry, adding Herzogian emotional effect. The Secret Glory pieces together the story of Otto Rahn, an SS officer who thought he'd located the Holy Grail. In all three films, the authenticity of the subjects reign, making it more difficult to buy the magic's fictionalized version in Dust Devil. Dust Devil, though, with its cheesier horror moments, provides a dose of humor to a fairly serious package. --Trinie Dalton

Libération: "Μαστουρώστε υπεύθυνα"
Η εφημερίδα παίρνει θέση υπέρ της απελευθέρωσης, με αφορμή έρευνα
«Αφιερωμένη» στα ναρκωτικά είναι η σημερινή έκδοση της γαλλικής εφημερίδας Liberation, η οποία προκαλεί με τον τίτλο της «Droguez-vous avec modération»- " "Μαστουρώστε υπεύθυνα". Η εφημερίδα παίρνει θέση υπέρ της απελευθέρωσης των ναρκωτικών, με αφορμή έρευνα γύρω από το ζήτημα. Στο κύριο άρθρο του, ο αναπληρωτής εκδότης της Libération υποστηρίζει ότι το κατασταλτικό κλίμα γύρω από τα ναρκωτικά αποτρέπει κάθε συζήτηση γύρω από τη χρήση και πως η ορθολογική χρήση κάνει καλό, κάτι που συμπεραίνει η έρευνα.

What if money was no object?
British philosopher and writer Alan Watts (1915-1973), author of the cult-classic The Way of Zen, played a key role in popularizing Eastern philosophy in the West, like John Cage had done, in the middle of the 20th century.
In this short video, a fine complement to this omnibus of wisdom on how to find your purpose and do what you love, Watts asks the seemingly simple question of what you would do if money were no object:
"So I always ask the question: What would you like to do if money were no object? How would you really enjoy spending your life? Well it's so amazing as the result of our kind of educational system, crowds of students say 'Well, we'd like to be painters, we'd like to be poets, we'd like to be writers' But as everybody knows you can't earn any money that way! Another person says 'Well I'd like to live an out-of-door's life and ride horses.' I said 'You wanna teach in a riding school?'
Let's go through with it. What do you want to do? When we finally got down to something which the individual says he really wants to do I will say to him 'You do that! And forget the money!' Because if you say that getting the money is the most important thing you will spend your life completely wasting your time! You'll be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living – that is to go on doing things you don't like doing! Which is stupid! Better to have a short life that is full of which you like doing then a long life spent in a miserable way. And after all, if you do really like what you are doing – it doesn't really matter what it is – you can eventually become a master of it. It's the only way of becoming the master of something, to be really with it. And then you will be able to get a good fee for whatever it is. So don't worry too much, somebody is interested in everything. Anything you can be interested in, you'll find others who are.
But it's absolutely stupid to spend your time doing things you don't like in order to go on spending things you don't like, doing things you don't like and to teach our children to follow the same track. See, what we are doing is we are bringing up children and educating to live the same sort of lifes we are living. In order they may justify themselves and find satisfaction in life by bringing up their children to bring up their children to do the same thing. So it's all retch and no vomit – it never gets there! And so therefore it's so important to consider this question:
What do I desire?" – Alan Watts

Yarn Along:: Dragons and Crocs and Knitting, oh My!
From Small Things: ~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading?
Welcome back to blogland! I took a little break to enjoy the holidays with my family, and look forward to sharing some highlights with you soon. I have been knitting and reading quite a bit, so I thought I would rejoin the Wednesday Yarn Along crew and tell you about it.
The past couple of times PB visited me at the shop, she would pull the new Yarn Harlot book off the shelf and take it over to a small stool to read. Whether it be the book's small size or deft humor, something appealed. And so I decided that I had better see what all the toddler fuss was about and finally bought my own copy of All Wound Up. With her signature wit and wisdom, Pearl-Mcphee delivers some great essays and stories that we as knitters and parents can definitely relate to. At first, I had a hard time shaking the feeling that I had read some version of many of the stories on her blog; but she settles in and I decided to accept that there may be some overlap.
Swamplania! is a recent acquisition I made after hearing it reviewed on NPR. It's an insightful and quirky coming of age story about a young girl and her family's business of running a gator-centric attraction in Florida. They hit an unlucky patch and their livelihood and identity is threatened with extinction. I am really enjoying the descriptive and insightful writing, and look forward to seeing where the young female narrator will go next.
And for the knitting…this is a project I cast on for ages ago when I needed something simple to work on during a long car ride. I made it through the ribbing, then it got set aside in favor of other projects. I picked it back up over the weekend when I again needed something simple to work on while I avoided picking up and knitting the sleeves on my Oatmeal Pullover. The yarn is a Luminosity Project colorway called Dragon from Pigeonroof Studios, and it is indeed luminous. So many deep and shimmering shades of green and brown! Loving the Cream and Sugar Cowl pattern with its wide cables, though it is going a bit slowly with so many stitches on fingering weight yarn.
What's on your nightstand and in your project bag this week?
December 28, 2011 11:20 am
i have seen a few people reading "All wound up" i think i might have to get my hands on a copy. you have so much on your knitting line up. lol i am just trying to finish a sweater right now. lol
December 28, 2011 11:54 am
It's nice to see you again! I love the color of your cowl. I brought Swamplandia home a while back but couldn't get into it, so maybe I will try it again sometime!
December 28, 2011 11:31 pm
Love the colors in that yarn! And I have a question for you, being an avid knitter, yarn shop owner, and mother of a toddler…Do you have recommendations for a yarn that will resist pilling to make into a toddler sweater? I've had bad luck with recent hand-knit projects just pilling beyond recognition.

text: On Television August 25, 2008 Issue The Fab Fortnight NBC breaks records in Beijing. By Nancy Franklin Table of Contents Kerri Walsh, Misty May-Treanor, and Michael Phelps dominated the sand, the pool, and our TV screens. Credit Tomer Hanuka Watching the Beijing Olympics, for all the athletic and architectural spectacularity on display, has turned out to be more frustrating than I expected. What an opportunity this was—not, as is obvious, just for China but for the rest of the world, the people whose only chance to visit China would be through the lenses of NBC's cameras. Thirty-six hundred hours of sports and features filled the network and its cable sisters CNBC, MSNBC, USA, Telemundo, Oxygen, and Universal HD, and the Web—but I feel as though all I saw of China on TV was tourists walking on the Great Wall and correspondents eating, or not eating, "funny" food like fried scorpions. And yet NBC was so concerned about not resorting to stereotypes that it more or less banned pagodas and pandas, even though pandas are international currency, always welcome anywhere. I chalk the network's lack of adventurousness up to its being handcuffed—not painfully handcuffed but handcuffed nonetheless—by the Chinese authorities. It seems safe to say that if the country was willing to deny the athlete-activist Joey Cheek a visa—Cheek, one of the most appealing medallists of the 2006 Winter Olympics, has been involved in efforts to publicize China's Sudan connections—it probably felt completely unembarrassed about restricting the snoopier international media while they were in the country. Still, the glimpses that we did get of Beijing were fascinating, right down to the gray-green haze that pervaded the city for the first few days of the Games (it brought out the amateur meteorologist in us, trying to figure out how much of it was humidity and how much was pollution). And, as for the relative lack of political coverage, if the world was going to accept the Games being in China it also had to accept certain conditions that went with that, and making a lot of noise about Tibet, or political prisoners, or Darfur just wasn't going to fly. As it happened, whatever vacuum there may have been in that regard was filled by the war that Russia started in Georgia on the day of the opening ceremonies—which also underscored for viewers why these biennial fortnights of greatness, of reaching for ideals, are precious; they are not the usual way the world works. NBC commentators often did find ways to take note of the hostly peculiarities, though you rarely heard the stories, so common during previous Olympics, about the Chinese factory-farming method of raising Olympians: taking children away from their parents at a young age and making them hew to virtually military regimens for years. In fact, during one night of the women's gymnastics competition, the commentator Al Trautwig went a little too far in the other direction, reflecting on how fortunate it was that a member of the Chinese team who, he said, had two years earlier begged her parents to let her quit the sport and come home hadn't been allowed to do so. Even if you accept the compromises you have to make with yourself in order to enjoy the Beijing Olympics, NBC's prime-time coverage had more of a lowest-common-denominator feel than it used to. The network offered more hours than had been shown in all previous Summer Olympics combined, and yet, during the first week, only three people were ever seen in prime time: Michael Phelps and the beach-volleyball players Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh. (Stories about Dara Torres, the quadragenarian swimmer and mother of a toddler, abounded before the Games but petered out once Phelpsmania began.) In the four years since I was last forced to watch beach volleyball, I somehow have not found the maturity and wisdom to take it seriously as an Olympic sport, and, frankly, I doubt that NBC takes it seriously, either, except as a ratings grabber. Every time I turned on the TV, there was May-Treanor (the short one) and Walsh (the tall one), in those silly little Victoria's Ill-Kept Secret outfits. I now know more about these two women than I know about some of my relatives, including when Walsh met her husband; what's inscribed on her wedding ring (it flew off her finger during a match, and a fair amount of time was spent keeping viewers posted on the successful Search in the Sand); what the tattoo on May-Treanor's left shoulder signifies; and when the two of them plan to start families (soon after the Games are over). I'm not questioning Walsh's and May-Treanor's abilities—they won the gold medal in 2004 and have won more than a hundred consecutive matches—but I don't think their every move had to be documented. Phelps, of course, is another story. As of this writing, it's not known whether he will reach his personal goal of winning eight gold medals in the Games, only that he has won more gold medals than any Olympic athlete in history, has broken records with each win in these Games, and is completely awesome. The downside to the Phelpsiad of the first week is that it meant that we all had to listen to the punishingly shrill swimming announcer Rowdy Gaines. Gaines—like Tim Daggett, the gymnastics commentator—is a former Olympic gold medallist and does know his sport, but he's also a know-it-all in the worst way. (Daggett has one trait that Gaines lacks: a compulsively negative approach. He seems to love saying things like "big mistake," "disaster of epic proportions," and "This is not his best event; in fact, it's probably his worst event.") Phelps's phenomenal victories crowded out coverage of other people. Gone are the days when the announcers gave you the names of all the swimmers on the blocks; now they mention only the medal contenders, having become addicted to the constant smashing of records. (The word "smashing" was heard an awful lot during swimming events, partly because a French swimmer used it in an unfulfilled boast about beating the Americans in one of the relays.) Given how swept up viewers were in the swimming, a little more on the sport and several thousand fewer replays of Phelps's open-armed, great-ape reaction to his team's unexpectedly winning the four-hundred-metre freestyle relay would have been fine. I did, however, learn quite a lot about Phelps's armpit anatomy from seeing those pictures over and over. You got any questions about where exactly his sulcus bicipitalis medialis attaches to his processus coracoideus, you come to me. The camera work at the pool was marvellous, with lots of underwater shots, highlighting not just the swimmers but the translucent honeycombed roof of the Water Cube, the venue where the swimming events were held. And, over in the stadium where the gymnasts were toiling, camerapeople somehow got shots inside the huddles of the teams, and came close enough to the judges' faces to show just how sour they looked. In a way, the cameras were more respectful of the gymnasts than some of the commentators were. Trautwig, remarking on the ankle injury that kept a member of the American women's team from competing in anything but the uneven bars, said, "It's one of the biggest days of her life. . . . It's like having a tear in your wedding dress right before you walk down the aisle." I don't know. I think it's probably more like having an ankle injury that keeps you from competing in anything but the uneven bars. If you were interested in the less glamorous sports, you turned to the Web, which is now indispensable to Olympics-watching. But in some ways this advance isn't as liberating as it sounds; your computer screen holds you captive more than your TV set used to. How many times have you read the paper or ironed while sitting at your computer? You can't bypass the obnoxious G.E. commercials, and you can't see the action as you fast-forward, which means that there's a lot of fiddling around and swearing involved in finding the spot you want. But one of the things I liked about watching events on the Web was that there was no talking; during a bicycle race that took place in the rain, for example, you could hear the sound of the tires on the wet roadway, and occasional noises from onlookers, and that was it. Watching volleyball, you heard the squeak of sneakers on the gym floor. With all the talk cleared away, you could really imagine what it was like to be not just at the Olympics but, amazingly, in the Olympics. ♦ Nancy Franklin Bio All work & You Might Like Jigsaw Puzzle Strongbox Submissions Goings On App About Us Caption Contest The New Yorker Festival ✕ The New Yorker Strongbox Strongbox is a new way for you to share information, messages, and files with our writers and editors and is designed to provide you with a greater degree of anonymity and security than afforded by conventional e-mail.

Several of us went out canvassing in the 10th Congressional District last Saturday, talking to voters and collecting petition signatures for Ilya Sheyman. The people we spoke to were all Democrats, and all regular voters. A common theme of concern from the voters we spoke to was a general angst at the way things are going – or not – in Washington: the dysfunctional Congress ranked high on the list of concerns these voters expressed, and some expressed a general despair at the disappointments of the last two years as Congress has stopped meaningful change over and over again – and a worry that President Obama hasn't fought hard enough for the changes he spoke of on the campaign trail.
You all probably know that Children's Memorial Hospital will move from Lincoln Park to Streeterville in June 2012. Their old site is in the middle of the city's wealthiest neighborhood - the redevelopment will generate hundreds of millions of dollars in jobs, city fees and new property taxes. Alderman Smith is living up to her promise to the 43rd Ward that the entire planning process will be as transparent and open to public input as possible. This should be a model for all other development, large and small, throughout Chicago. See her website for a sample of what she is doing: http://www.ward43.org/index.php/news/childrens-memorial-hospital-develop...
The City just announced that it will buy 20.5 acres of unused land at Rosehill Cemetary (Alderman O'Connor's ward), along Western at Peterson, to turn into a nature center. The purchase price is $7.8 million, about $380,000 an acre - which seems like a bargain. The purchase and renovation of the land will be paid for with TIF funds. As much as I support new park land in the city, I'm still unsure this qualifies as something we should be spending TIF money on. But, because of the way our TIF's are set up, we taxpayers have no say in how the money gets spent.
Earlier this summer, we sent out a survey to ask people what our priorities should be for the coming election cycle. We discussed the results at the Voting Member Retreat, and out of that came a set of goals for NDFA: one, we as a group are very concerned about taking the House of Representatives back from the Republicans (and holding the Senate); two, we are interested in local races; and three, we are interested in committeeman elections. We have already begun our work in this election cycle, with the adoption of progressive Ilya Sheyman (candidate in the 10th Congressional District) and the endorsement of Debra Shore for Metropolitan Water Reclamation District.
It doesn't seem like it could be September already, but here it is: Chicago Public Schools start next week, some schools are already back in session, and the fall petition season is about to begin. Candidates may start gathering petitions on September 6, the day after Labor Day, so we're gearing up to help out (not the 3rd, as I mistakenly wrote in my last email). Labor Day parades are happening in several locations on September 5: these annual events mark the contribution of Labor to our society, and in a year where Labor has been under sustained attack, it is perhaps even more important to show up and show our elected officials just how important Labor is to our communities.
For a quiet month before the election season begins in earnest (and I listened to Lewis Black on the radio this morning yelling about why is everyone talking about elections in August? We're supposed to be BBQing now!), a lot has been going on. Two recall elections in Wisconsin have left the Republicans with the slimmest of majorities in the state house: a changed landscape indeed. In Illinois, there have been parades, our first canvass for Ilya Sheyman, and battles heating up between the Governor and the Mayor, as well as the budget battle for the Chicago Public Schools.
It's the new Mayor's anniversary, so let's all throw a party! It's kind of early to judge whether he's made any differences so far, but what do you think of his style? I don't like his ties very much, but he does look fit and trim, which is something you probably can't say about anyone else at City Hall. I'm dismayed that he seems to be continuing Chicago's traditional Mayor-as-Emperor role, which I think lends itself to corruption and scandal. What do you think?
Next Tuesday, August 9 we will have our monthly meeting at the Lincoln Restaurant (4008 N. Lincoln Ave.). We have a full evening planned: we'll have a panel of union leaders (Genie Kastrup from SEIU and Kristine Mayle from the CTU are confirmed) speaking on "Union Priorities for the 2012 Elections," and we're hoping that Tammy Duckworth, who is running for Congress in the new 8th Congressional District, will also be able to join us. She's running in the primary against Raja Krishnamoorthi, who we heard speak at our June meeting. We will also be accepting nominations for Steering Committee – our by-laws require that you must nominate yourself if you wish to run (elections in September). The meeting will start at 7 pm, with dinner /social hour starting at 6 pm.
Feeling discouraged? Like nothing is ever going to change? Like Republicans have taken over everything and everyone else is rolling over?
You can help show Washington that in fact the Tea Party and the Koch Brothers are not in charge everywhere: go to Wisconsin to canvass for State Senate candidate Sandy Pasch, who is working to unseat Republican State Senator Alberta Darling in District 8. This is in the Milwaukee area, and we will take a bus there and back. This is a special voting member event, so if you are looking for activities to become a voting member, this will help.
Because this is a road trip, you need to either RSVP at the Democracy for America website:
Or send me an email indicating you are committing to this trip. We need a firm RSVP list as soon as possible: we don't want to get a bus that's too big or too small.

Sample Report
Opening Reception: Friday August 3rd, 5-8pm
With a continuing emphasis on mid-century American painting, Peyton Wright Gallery presents the works of Abstract Expressionist and Color Field painter, Jack Roth (1927 - 2004).
Roth was an extraordinarily gifted man who attained significant achievements both as an artist and an academician. Born in 1927 in Brockway, Pennsylvania, Roth entered Penn State University with the intention of studying chemistry, mathematics and science. At the tail end of World War II, Roth entered the army where he held a variety of stateside assignments.
Discharged from service in 1948, Roth eventually moved to San Francisco and enrolled in the California School of Fine Arts where he studied painting with Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, Richard Diebenkorn, David Park and Elmer Bischoff. He received a Master of Fine Arts from the State University of Iowa in 1952, and a doctoral degree from Duke University in 1962. In 1954 Roth exhibited paintings in the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum "Younger American Painters" exhibit alongside Morris Louis, Richard Diebenkorn, Adolph Gottlieb, Philip Guston, Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell and William M. Baziotes. One of the first major American museum exhibitions of Abstract Empressionism, and as a traveling show with stops at museums throughout the country, this ground-breaking exhibit formally introduced the nation to a unique and powerful new American-born art movement.
Roth painted his way through the major developments in postwar American art, from Abstract Expressionism, through pop, and ultimately through color field abstraction. His bold paintings of the 1970's and 80's are crisp, fresh, revealing his breadth and brilliance as a highly inquisitive mathematician, scientist, and a poet. His idiosyncratic colors and forms remain fluid in dynamic alchemical conversation and interaction.
Highlights of his accomplishments include; New Talent Graphic artist of the year in 1963, a Guggenheim Fellowship and representation by Knoedler & Co. Gallery in New York City.The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York purchased several works by Roth for its permanent collection and he exhibited there in 1963.

The Giving Pledge
The Founder and Executive Chairman of African Rainbow Minerals (ARM), Patrice Motsepe today announced that the Motsepe Family, "will contribute at least half of the funds generated by our family assets to the Motsepe Foundation" to be used during his lifetime and beyond and that of his
wife, Precious Motsepe, to improve the lifestyles and living conditions of poor, disabled, unemployed, women, youth, workers and marginalised South Africans.
The Giving Pledge is an effort to encourage the wealthiest people in the United States to make a commitment to give most of their wealth to philanthropic causes.The campaign specifically focuses on billionaires and was made public in 2012 by Warren Buffet and Bill Gates. Patrice Motsepe if the first African to take the pledge
"South Africans are caring, compassionate and loving people. It has always been part of our culture and tradition to assist and care for less fortunate2 and marginalised members of our communities. This culture
is also embodied in the spirit and tradition of Ubuntu/Botho.
THe Womens desk of the the foundation - WELL - could not be more proud and optimistic at the road that lies ahead for South Africa and the continent at large.
Let us be encouraged by Ubuntu/Botho.

This email is to be read subject to the disclaimer below.
Threat and risk are commonly used as interchangeable terms, incorrectly. I
too made the mistake initially of thinking Mark was refering to risk with
this openning question because I don't distinguish between the two in
trying to interact with those who don't understand risk assessment - I end
up confusing them when I do. I agree you can't have one without the other.
Apples and oranges may not be the best analogy in this case. They are
intrinsically linked more closely than that.
threat - n 1: something that is a source of danger
risk - n. The possibility of suffering harm or loss; danger.
Whilst these may not even be the best definitions they do draw the
distinction I think which is being sought and which also drives to the
heart of Mark's concerns.
Threat needs to be considered the source of the risk - I think if we don't
understand the potential source (that is weakeness in the environment) of
the risk then we can't adequately describe the controls required to be
implemented to mitigate the risk. However, as Frank rightly points out,
if we don't make the next jump of linking the source (threat) to the
exposure at a business level (what the real issue is) then we miss the
point - we implement controls for no reason or miss the all too important
non-technical bits.
The level of detail is the problem of all threat risk assessments. If I
was doing a risk list with respect to a web application it would begin at
the top ten type levels - the top ten would link to higher level business
risks around the application which may concern unauthorised access,
unauthorised disclosure, etc (or possibily even a more specific business
level in between. However, to make sense of the risk at the top ten level
I need to look at the probability of the source being realised.
This is where things start to get specific to a
solution/application/architecture/design. Threat modelling in this context
will mean that certain technologies, architectures for web apps will have
particular (potential) weakeness with their configuration, design or
implementation, etc which can be "generically" stated as a baseline.
Incidentally, the threats are also the things that specifically get
monitored and reviewed towards assessing the ongoing risk profile of the
I would hope that this type of threat modelling would provide a picture of
the positives and negatives of various archtiectures and designs to the
start of a project.

Subject: RE: Threat Modelling [Virus checkedAU]
I don't disagree with anything specifically you say but here are a few
observations. In general IMHO this conversation started discussing apples
(threat modeling to build better technical solutions) and is now trying to
compare oranges to apples (info sec management of systems).
It is easy to abstract security to a higher and higher level to become more
comfortable with your answers or to find a valid objection. Should I review
the political stability of the country where the code is being created in?
am sure someone can come up with a good argument for it but in practical
terms you have to set a scope or decompose complex problems into smaller
more manageable ones to be successful. Big generic risk models are bulky,
costly and seem to have been ineffective if you look at the landscape
I have done work for various companies where they spend massive amounts of
money developing formal risk models for systems that all miss significant
issues. I don't disagree that policy is a fundamental place to start but as
Dr Phil says (so I am told!), you don't loose weight with a gym membership!
I actually think you probably hit the nail on the head when you talk about
"applications of this class". The detail you elude to I have never seen in
any RA tools. If it were it would be able to support the threat modeling
process of the type defined in writing secure code etc I think that would
great. Hopefully the MS tool or others that I think are brewing will.
I think it boils down to the fact that you have to choose the right tool
the right job. The thread was about modeling technical security using a
process that has been come to be called threat modeling. There are other
techniques such as risk assessment for higher level / bigger picture stuff
but IMHO they are not the right tool for the right job. There are clearly
overlaps but the devil is often in the details with software security. If I
want to race a car I am going to choose the right sort of car, not one that
meets a set of high level requirements such as having 4 wheels, an engine
and a steering wheel.
You certainly don't need a specific tool for each application but do need a
tool that is specific to software development and the uniqueness that
software security brings. I would argue that traditional risk assessment
tools and techniques have been around for decades but are clearly not
working on software security today. Actually I am sure a set of criteria
a methodology can be developed that would fit under various tools
today, after all what we are discussing is a subset of the bigger picture,
higher level risk assessment.
But for modeling technical security of software designs, I have to say I
still don't believe high level risk assessment tools have a strong place to

Maybe I am missing the point here so please help me out.
How would these generic tools help me methodically expose the fact that
an application developer chose to send a password in clear in an
unprotected SOAP message across an untrusted network?
How would these generic tools help me expose an application that used
DNS to authenticate a components location?
How is a generic tool going to help me expose an application that is
not validating input from a 3rd party web services data feed ?
I know your question is directed at a different set of tools, but I'd like
to try to answer it from the perspective of ours. I'm not sure whether your
issue is with 'generic' tools or with automated tools in general, however
the examples you've picked are good ones to illustrate the point.
The first question to ask yourself is are the issues you have identified
above 'generic' or not - generic doesn't necessarily mean 'non-technical'.
The particular examples above seem pretty generic to me
- there is a whole class of applications that use SOAP, a whole class of
applications that use passwords, DNS, third party feeds, etc. These are all
*generic* technologies with *generic* requirements therefore it's quite
reasonable to look for a *generic* solution or method that addresses such
classes of system. In other words, whether your response to these issues is
a policy statement, a process, deployment of some pen testing tool, code
review, hire a consultant, deploy infrastructure, a combination of all of
these, or whatever - that response is your answer for any application in
this class. And that remains true whether you use a tool to automate the
process or not.
Not only that but these requirements all flow from much higher level
business imperatives, which cannot all be addressed solely by technical
means. Therefore any system that is ONLY looking at technical issues is
going to miss the mark. The requirement not to send a password in clear is
good case in point. This may flow from a requirement that only employees
access the business's systems, for example. To achieve that requires that
you don't issue a password to a non-employee in the first place - this is
something that involves people issues, and almost certainly requires
at a business process and not just a technical solution. Plus maybe because
of this your application can be subverted by attacking the HR system. And
Another reasonable question to ask is how would anyone expose these types
errors? Then, can some or all of this method be automated?
Again the answer seems to be yes. For a start, it's pretty obvious that if
SOAP isn't being used then no SOAP issue applies. Similarly if you're not
using passwords then no password issue applies. Conversely if you are using
passwords then you need to look at how they are managed/transmitted by each
component that deals with them, not just SOAP. If your environment doesn't
include "untrusted" networks, then another set of issues goes away. If
you're using some infrastructural elements such as standard OS builds or a
common authentication system that you've already evaluated, then you've
already covered a whole raft of standard technical issues. And so on.
100s of individual detailed technical issues that can be quickly and
automatically eliminated from consideration, and that's just from a quick
look at the obvious stuff.
Yet another reasonable question to ask is "compared to what?". In other
words, what do you propose instead of a generic tool? Are we going to build
a specific tool for every application? Why should that be any easier? Or
we going look at every system manually? Also, is this approach mutually
exclusive with the use of a tool to sift through the routine glaring stuff
or can they be used together?
I think there maybe confusion between what I think of threat modeling
and risk assessment. Threat modeling to me is about helping design a
better technological solution.
I know what you're getting at here, but risk assessment isn't just
non-technical, and threat modelling isn't just technical. You have to look
at the whole system, including the processes and the people. Think of
engineering of a password. Think of someone misaddressing an email and
sending a spreadsheet containing a bank's entire trading position to the
competition. Think of a password that's sent encrypted but that is issued
the first place to anyone who phones up and sounds friendly. Those are all
people problems that don't apply unless you use a particular technology to
do certain things, and both can be mitigated in technical and non-technical
ways. There are any amount of examples like this.

I've been in NYC for over six days and haven't run into a single Tumblr staff member. To think I once hoped my life was an episode of LOST, rife with coincidental and plot driving run-ins with David Karp.
However, we did see a College Humor employee and a large group of RPat tween fans.
Ok, I Like Fan Mail
At first, I didn't get it. It seemed unnecessary given the existing features but now I love it, and I think it was the last bit of communication that Tumblr needed. The polish and skeuomorphism of the feature makes conversations feel complete - rekindling memories of pen-pal exchanges. I can finally see that Fan Mail and Ask each have their own place, and it is comfortable.

The scene unfolded Friday in the Manteca branch of San Joaquin County Superior Court.
"That's not him. That's not the guy that shot at me."
According to Deputy District Attorney Donald Vaughn, shooting victims Martin Rocha and Cinthya Lizeth uttered those words to him just before Friday's preliminary hearing began.
Vaughn said that the victims, sitting in the courtroom, told the bailiff they wanted to talk to Vaughn. He said he went over to them and both said that Lockwood was not the shooter.
The Tracy 19-year-old was charged with premeditated attempted murder, assault with a semiautomatic firearm and shooting at an inhabited vehicle with enhancements of personal use of a firearm and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
He was accused of shooting at Rocha and Lizeth on Feb. 12 as the couple drove out of an apartment complex parking lot on the 2900 block of Lowell Avenue. Neither had any injuries.
After talking to the victims, Vaughn told Judge Ron Northup, "Move to dismiss (the charges) in light of the evidence," which caused an eruption of cheers from Lockwood's family and friends inside the courtroom.
"It wasn't him, I knew that," Lockwood's mother, Jeannette, said outside the courtroom. "I knew it wasn't my son that did it. I'm a believer, if you commit a crime, you are liable for that. I knew it wasn't him from the beginning.
"I came in here thinking I would hear the worst news," she added. "It's the happiest day in my life."
Lockwood's girlfriend, Jenny Deperalta, said outside the courtroom that she was at a loss for words.
"I'm in shock," she said. "I can't believe we went through this ordeal, knowing he was innocent."
After the decision, Vaughn said he had no reason to believe the victims were lying in their statement.
"The preliminary is to wash out issues, and in this it was an ID (issue)," he said. "Unfortunately, it wasn't the person who did it, and fortunately, we don't prosecute innocent people."
Lockwood was expected to be freed from San Joaquin County Jail in French Camp later Friday.
