Then somebody (mysterious unknown somebody) came up with an even better Rule. This was that children's books were allowed only to deal with Problems. You took a social Problem - parents divorcing, mother a nymphomaniac, father drunk or gay (or both), brother on drugs, child crippled or bullied, a moron in the family, epilepsy, poverty (but only if you were stuck for a problem; poverty was too easy) - and you wrote about this Problem in stark, distressing terms. Then - this is the Rule - you gave it to the child with that problem to read. The child was supposed to delight in the insight and to see his own parents (or brother or disability) as a Joyful Challenge.
This rule is still in force today. People truly believe in it - and this is despite the obvious question that Jill Paton Walsh once asked: if you were divorcing, what would you think of the person who made you read Anna Karenina?
One adult I questioned said that John Masefield's The Box of Delights would have been his always-remembered marvelous book, but for the fact that when he thought of it he always remembered that at the end it turned out to have been only a dream. Quite right. This is cheating. It is giving a feast of the imagination with one hand and taking it away with the other. It is as if Masefield's nerve failed and he said at the end, 'You needn't bother to believe this.' But in doing so he had abused the responsibility he had by suddenly grinding the reader's nose into a sober, waking life where the wonders he had been telling you simply do not count.
If the wonders are going to be with you for the rest of your life, why do they not count?
To take the most obvious first: I found myself thinking as I wrote, "These poor adults are never going to understand this; I must explain it to them twice more and then remind them again later in different terms." Now this is something I never have to think when I write for younger readers. Children are used to making an effort to understand. They are asked for this effort every hour of every school day, and though they may not make the effort willingly, they at least expect it. In addition, nearly everyone between the ages of nine and fifteen is amazingly good at solving puzzles and following complicated plots - this being the happy results of many hours spent at computer games and watching television. I can rely on this. I can make my plots for them as complex as I please, and yet I know I never have to explain them more than once (or twice at the very most). And here I was, writing for people of fifteen and over, assuming that the people who read, say, Fire and Hemlock last year have now given up using their brains.
This is back-to-front to what one usually assumes, if one only looks on the surface, but I found it went much deeper than that. At first I thought it was my own assumption, based on personal experiences. Once when I was doing a signing, a mother came in with her nine-year-old son and berated me for making The Homeward Bounders so difficult. So I turned to the boy to ask him what he didn't understand. "Oh, don't listen to her," he said. "I understood everything. It was just her that didn't." It was clear to both of us that his poor mother had given up using her brain when she read. Likewise, a schoolmaster who was supposed to be interviewing me for a magazine explained to me that he had tried to read Charmed Life and couldn't understand a word, which meant, he said, that it was much too difficult for children. So he didn't interview me. He was making the surface assumption that children need things easy. But since I have never come across a child that didn't understand Charmed Life, it occurred to me that he was making the assumption about himself. But it was a hidden one, and when I came to write for adults, I realized that it was something all adults assumed. I grew tender of their brains and kept explaining.
This makes an absurd situation. Here we have books for children, which a host of adults dismiss as puerile, overeasy, and are no such thing; and there we have books for adults, who might be supposed to need something more advanced and difficult, which we have to write as if the readers were simpleminded.
It dawned on me that tennis stars were perfect models of heroes – all kinds of heroes – folk tale, myth, comicbook, and above all modern fantasy. And I found myself attending closely and thinking very hard indeed.
For a start, they all had that larger-than-life quality. They stood out among…

Nike Flyknit Racer – Turquoise – Green
April 7th, 2014 by Aaron Hope | 2 comments
The Nike Flyknit Racer continues to prove it has serious endurance with more new colorways this summer. Fresh off the newest black/white and red/black pairs comes a new style that stays mostly in the tonal green-blue range by way of neon, lime and turquoise shades intermingling across the uppers. This is all framed by black and adds a bit of white on the midsole, a look fairly similar to one of the Flyknit Trainers that released last summer. Click in to get a closer look and stick with Sneaker News for updates on these and all the Flyknit Racers to come.

Pittsburgh Press, April 29, 1914:
Branch Rickey, manager of the St. Louis Browns, has started something that may result in Sunday base ball being killed in Missouri.
When Rickey signed his contract he stipulated that the owners of the club could not compel him to manager the team on Sunday. This they agreed to.
Rickey gave a lecture yesterday morning at a Sunday school and in the afternoon he did not lead his club against the Tigers. Jimmy Austin was in charge.
The attitude taken by Rickey toward Sunday ball has caused the country people to gaze towards the lid. If Sunday base ball is too bad for a major league manager what must it be for the people who attend? That's what Missourian church folks want to know.
Rickey never did attend a ballgame on a Sunday. In Rickey's obituary, the New York Times reported that Burt Shotton usually managed in Rickey's place on Sundays.

words to live by
…pretty much my life
So I've come to the painful conclusion I hate my program and it's making me definitely totally completely miserable. And I literally have no idea what to do with my life. And I just want to have it all figured out. And I feel like a failure..
What do you desire? What makes you itch? What sort of a situation would you like?
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 what you like doing than a long life spent in a miserable way.
…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 in the same track.
It's so important to consider this question,
What do I desire?

Potentially Lethal Clone Apple Charger
I received this USB supply with a laser module from China that I purchased on eBay. I have heard of these nasty copies of Apple chargers going around, but I'd never received one this bad with a piece of Chinese electronics.
Model No. A1265, so definitely an Apple clone. Apparently capable of +5v DC 1A output. Notice the American NEMA pins. This wouldn't have been any use to me in the first instance since I am resident in the UK & our mains plugs are significantly different, not to mention significantly safer.
Manufacturer is marked as Flextronics.
Here is the charger disassembled. Inside the case these two boards are folded together, creating an alarmingly small isolation gap between the mains side of the supply & the 5v output. Both the low voltage output & the feedback loop for the supply runs over the 4-core ribbon cable.
The mains wiring from the board is as thin as hair, insulation included, so there is a big possibility of shorts all over the place from this part of the circuit alone.
Bottom of the PCB assemblies. Good luck finding any creepage distance here. There simply isn't any at all. traces on the +350v DC rail on the mains side of the transformer are no more than 1mm away from the supposedly isolated low voltage side.
Plugging one of these devices into anything is just asking for electrocution.
Wearable Raspberry Pi Part 2.5 – Battery Pack PCM
The final part for the battery pack has finally arrived, the PCM boards. These modules protect the cells by cutting off the power at overcharge, undercharge & overcurrent. Each cell is connected individually on the right, 12v power appears on the left connections. These modules also ensure that all the cells in the pack are balanced.
Wearable Raspberry Pi SMPS Modifications
A few modifications were required to the SMPS modules to make the power rails stable enough to run the Pi & it's monitor. Without these the rails were so noisy that instability was being caused.
I have replaced the 100µF output capacitors & replaced them with 35v 4700µF caps. This provides a much lower output ripple.
There are also heatsinks attached to the converter ICs to help spread the heat.
DIY Valve Amplifier – Part 1 – Amplifier Section
Here are a few details of a valve amplifier I am building, using the valve related parts from a 1960's reel to reel tape recorder.
This amplifier is based on an a Mullard ECL82 triode/pentode valve, with an EM84 magic eye tube for level indication.
Here the first components are being soldered to the tags on the valve holder, there are so few components that a PCB is not required, everything can be rats-nested onto the valve holders.
Progressing with the amplifier section componentry, all resistors are either 1/2W or 2W.
Here the valve holders have been fitted, along with the output transformer, DC smoothing capacitor & the filament wiring, into the top of the plastic housing. At this point all the components that complete the amplifier section are soldered to the bottom of the right hand valve holder.
Starting the wiring between the valves & the power supply components. The volume control pot is fitted between the valve holders.
The valves here are test fitted into their sockets, the aluminium can at the back is a triple 32uF 250v electrolytic capacitor for smoothing the B+ rail.
First test of the amplifier, with the speaker from the 1960's tape recorder from which the valves came from. the 200v DC B+ supply & the 6.3v AC filament supply is derived from the mains transformer in the background.
Here the magic eye tube has been fitted & is getting it's initial tuning to the amplifier section. This requires selecting combinations of anode & grid resistors to set the gap between the bars while at no signal & picking a coupling RC network to give the desired response curve.
Here both valves are fitted & the unit is sitting on it's case for final audio testing. the cathodes of the ECL82 can be clearly seen glowing dull red here.
In the final section, I will build a SMPS power supply into the unit to allow it to be powered from a single 12v DC power supply.

Dithering. Decisions that turn out wrong. Decisions that people sabotage or don't know how to implement. If your company is experiencing these problems, it's not alone. Most organizations don't know how to make and execute good decisions. And they're paying a high price as profitability and competitiveness erode.
It doesn't have to be this way.
In this HBR webinar, Michael Mankins talks about making decision management a potent competitive weapon in your company, based on his extensive research around improving decision effectiveness at organizations around the globe.

Jacksonville Jaguars (0-1) 2, Kansas City Chiefs 28
A battle featuring two teams who each won two games during the 2012-13 NFL season. The Chiefs proved that they've made positive strides with all of their changes. The Jaguars—don't look any better than they did last season. Another top-two pick is very possible.
Much like the Steelers, the Jaguars started the game with a 2-0 lead. The Chiefs had 28 unanswered points. Blaine Gabbert completed 16-of-35 passes for 121 yards with two interceptions. He was sacked six times. No. 2 overall pick Luke Joeckel was beaten numerous times.
Ugly, ugly, ugly. I'm pretty sure Daniel Lago from Black and Teal would agree. Right?

Keeping Up with the Kardashians Preview: Nice Vagina, Khloe!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
In the following trailer for Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Bruce Jenner says he's "sick and tired of all of this."
The former Olympian is referring to contrived problems in his marriage, but he might as well be speaking for millions of individuals who shake their heads over the deterioration of society, largely exemplified by the interest in this utterly talentless family.
Among the previewed developments writers have penned and producers have set up for Khloe, Kourtney, Kim and company on the new season, which premieres August 22:
- Kim is set up with Miles Austin, and gets upset over texts to "whores."
- Kris flirts with a younger man.
- Scott Disick complains about his quasi in-laws and threatens a move to New York.
- Kim compliments Khloe on her vagina.
Watch the promo below and ask yourself: Is this really what television has devolved into?
OMG, i agree that you people need to stop with your bad talking, feel the need to put others down, im sure that you have this perfect life, NOT? i bet you was one of those mean girls in school, you know the girl that had to put others down just to make themselves look better, i feel sorry for you, find something better to do with you time, I LOVE YOU GIRLS, keep doing what you're doing Sarah posted aug 12th something about Kris all i have to say to you is im sure you're just wishing you looked that good so fuck off.
These kardashian women are pathetic whores, they have zero class and there language is disgusting, they are very overrated in my opinion, they make there money flaunting there fat asses, how talented they are, what a joke...

Yes, that's (alleged) Auburn tree poisoner and Alabama fan extraordinaire Harvey Updyke looking resplendent in a handlebar mustache and showing off a container full of mudbugs.
The photo comes to us by way of Richard Johnson of Gator Country, and contains so much awesome it's not even funny. Okay, it's a lot funny.
Love him or hate him, it's hard to be neutral about Mr. Updyke. Regardless of whether you think he's a folk hero or a looney that's way too full of Bama (we're in the latter camp), it's hard not to respect his determination to live life on his own terms.
Have one for us, Harvey.

If you want to add other players into the mix, we'd be looking at Miguel Cabrera, Paul Goldschmidt, as well as possibly Clayton Kershaw and Robinson Cano.
If both of those maybes become a yes, then I'd say that Adam Jones is my No. 7 player heading into the drafts. Given his average season over the last three years, it'd be hard to argue too much against that.
Adam Jones: 2011-2013 Averages
So, when you look at the current projections from Crackerjack Contributor Tanner Bell of Smart Fantasy Baseball, everything seems to check out pretty well.
Adam Jones: 2014 Projections
Is there anything else that we should consider?
Why numbers may be high
My primary concern with Jones is in his batting average. If you want to find a .300 hitter, you want to see someone have line drive rate of better than 20 percent on batted balls. Thanks to Fangraphs, we can see that Jones hasn't really been that guy over the last three years.
- 2011: 17.6 %
- 2012: 21.5 %
- 2013: 19.7%
That, on top of the fact that Jones has averaged 125 strikeouts over the last three years makes me a bit concerned. I will grant that an average between .280-.290 isn't the same as .300 or above, but those peripherals would suggest that Jones is at least at risk of falling into the sub-.275 range.
That's not to say that he won't have any fantasy value in that range, but if you do draft Jones, you may need to plan on him hitting .275 and consider anything higher as a bonus.
Now, I will grant that Jones has been above .280 in each of the last four seasons. When that kind of production happens, it's harder to point to his peripherals and suggest that his numbers are a product of luck. Luck may work for one season, but not four.
Just be aware that if nothing else, he's a risk to slip in that area, even if the other stats are pretty bankable.
Why numbers may be low
When you project numbers, you're basically averaging out what's happened over the last three years and generally when there's any doubt, the tendency is to go conservative. That's why when you see our Draft Kit, you'll notice that we only have a few players projected at over 100 RBI or runs. Realistically, we know that it's going to be more than that but when matching projections against goals, you need to be conservative. So, since we're projecting, we have to go conservative.
On paper, Jones would be a pretty natural guy to use the last three years with, as he's played between 151-162 games in each of the last three years.
Still, the averages can be a little deceiving.
For instance, Jones has averaged 90 runs over the last three years. We see that, go a little more conservative, and arrive at 88. It makes sense. But Jones has scored 100 or more runs in each of the last two seasons. He scored only 68 in 2011, dramatically dropping the three-year average.
Remember that Chris Davis was only on the 2011 Orioles for the final two months of the season and played only 31 games for the team. He did hit in front of Jones for much of 2013, but not so much in 2012. If Crush regresses a bit in his average, it wouldn't surprise me to see Buck Showalter flip them again.
Similarly, if he continues to bat after Davis and Manny Machado, then I'd feel a bit better projecting him to drive in over 100, instead of the 83 or 82 that he drove in in 2011 and 2012, respectively.
Ultimately, what makes Jones so appealing is that with the possible exception of average, there's no real reason to expect significant regression anywhere. Actually, most of the discrepancies in his projections come from thinking that he'll be a little better.
The biggest question centers around average, and it makes me ask the question. If I use a Top-10 pick on Adam Jones and he falls to .275, could I live with it? It wouldn't be ideal, but I could actually live with it if he fell to .265. The rest of the numbers are just that good and that bankable.
In addition to the ones I mentioned above, you may be considering a few other guys over Jones. Carlos Gonzalez may miss a bunch of games a year, but his numbers are pretty reliably solid. Ryan Braun may have some questions, but was one of the most reliable performers in baseball for six years before 2013's debacle. Bryce Harper and Yasiel Puig may have a small sample size, but the talent is obvious.
I like dependability from early picks, so I'd still take Jones at seven. But I will say that if he falls out of your Top-10 and you don't take him, you're running a big risk and potentially doing your fantasy team a great disservice.

Meet Your New Friends: Bmore Musically Informed Starts A Label
There's been stirring about it for a while, some pre-announcement announcements, and now it looks like Friends Records, a collaboration between Bmore Musically Informed head-guy Brett Yale and the Sound Garden's manager manager Jimmy MacMillan, is getting off the ground this spring.
"All three spring releases are off at the pressing plants, and will be limited 500 copies with a digital download included," Yale writes in a press release. The opening round of records—actual vinyl records—includes new stuff from the indieground ranks, such as Weekends, Sri Aurobindo, and Height With Friends. A Future Islands/Lonnie Walker split comes later in the summer. Fellow music blog Aural States also kicked off a label, Aural Slates, earlier this year—and, looking back, it almost feels like labels are popping up at a rate that new bands pop up. See also:

Latest iPhone 6 Mockups Could Offer Preview of the Real Thing
The latest iPhone 6 mockups could offer the most realistic look yet at Apple's upcoming smartphone.
The latest iPhone 6 mockups could offer the most realistic look yet at Apple's upcoming smartphone.
So you've just taken some killer photos with your new DSLR, or you captured a great video with your iPhone -- what's next? While it feels natural to just post media quickly to your Facebook Page, sometimes great photos or video need their own home in the form of a personal website. But on the other hand, it's not easy to make a website layout that complements rich media.
The iPhone 5 might not be arriving any time soon, but that hasn't stopped artists and design firms from creating their own mock-ups. After analyzing the various iPhone 5 rumors, Italian designer Federico Ciccarese came up with these gorgeous renders. Ciccarese's vision of the iPhone 5 predicts a slightly curved back. The body of the phone, in fact, looks similar to Apple's Magic Mouse. The display is flat and "retina" in nature and the phone tapers off at the top and bottom.
What will the iPhone 5 look like? Outside of a certain office complex in Cupertino and a few other secret places around the world, nobody knows the exact answer to that, but many are willing to guess. Here's a gallery that shows the top 10 attempts at predicting the future -- some educated guesses based on leaks, others wild yet beautiful stabs in the dark, and still others just wishful thinking. The truth must lie somewhere within.

There have been a lot of creative renderings of the famed forthcoming Apple Tablet -- and we do mean a lot. But Apple Insider reports they have confirmation from inside sources that one rendered image in particular is "strikingly close" to the real thing.

[But the density of city life doesn't just make it harder to focus: It also interferes with our self-control. In that stroll down Newbury, the brain is also assaulted with temptations — caramel lattes, iPods, discounted cashmere sweaters, and high-heeled shoes. Resisting these temptations requires us to flex the prefrontal cortex, a nub of brain just behind the eyes. Unfortunately, this is the same brain area that's responsible for directed attention, which means that it's already been depleted from walking around the city. As a result, it's less able to exert self-control, which means we're more likely to splurge on the latte and those shoes we don't really need. While the human brain possesses incredible computational powers, it's surprisingly easy to short-circuit: all it takes is a hectic city street.]

As I'm getting ready to get my first car that I have purchased for myself, I decided to take the old girl out for one last spin. My current car is a 2004 silver Toyota Rav4. My parents bought it brand new and I had the privilege of driving it for the last half of its life with us.
I've always been a car enthusiast, no matter the car, how expensive or how fast, I have always tried to appreciate cars in their whole. So while it is exciting for me to obtain truly my first car, this Rav4 has so much meaning and history for me, it would have been impossible to give it up without honouring it properly.
I am currently sitting in my car on the UofT campus, having driven it around to various places all over the GTA that are significant to me. It is here that I reflect because, like the car, this university has a lot of meaning for me being the place where I, and most people, spend their most formative years.
What does a car represent? Is it significant? Does it have meaning or is it just an object, a tool? The answer is different for everyone but I think that for many people, a car represents freedom. The physical freedom of being able to go almost anywhere you choose. That feeling you get when you truly take control of a car confidently for the first time, with no one directing you where to go or how to drive, you realize… you're free.
For me, that was so very true, but my first solo driving experiences also represented so much more than just physical freedom. It also meant emotional freedom, mental separation, just… an escape from the place that I called home.
To me, a car also represents isolation, but in the very best way. Despite loving to hang out with friends and be around people, I am an introvert at the end of the day and I cherish my solitude and silence. Having the time and space to be alone, to introspect and just observe the world around me while also observing within myself has been so precious to me these past many years, it is where I feel most comfortable and most authentic. The car enables me to have this experience even though I may be on a road surrounded by cars. When I'm in the car, alone, isolated, I feel like I am separate from everything else and that I feel most free to be real and express myself and just be myself. This is all the more amplified when I've driven on long trips and long stretches of road with no one else for hundreds of kilometres. Few things can top driving a long stretch of road with no one in sight, windows down and music up.
To me… driving is the ultimate meditation. And the car is my conduit. With all of its freedom and isolation, it is; honestly, where I feel most at home.
Lastly, I feel that cars also represent the ultimate expression of me. It embodies so many things that I share, whether it be personal interests or outlooks on life. Cars are at the intersection of brilliant engineering and beautiful design. The culmination of many technologies developed over centuries and often a showroom for new technologies in our hi-tech world. They also represent expressions of art, lines and identity. They are perfect machines, highly precise and highly controlled. Everything follows rules and things, when they work, will do exactly what they're supposed to. They are an expression of efficiency, science and technology, and natural design. It is beautiful to me how, cars are perfectly controlled machines, with no unknown variables; but when pared with the road and the environment, the whole system is as unpredictable as anything else. At that moment, it is then up to you, as the driver, as the source of control, to mesh the car with the environment and ultimately, dictate the experience.
That feels relevant to me because I believe that we, as human beings, are perfect but when we are then thrown into the world and society at large, the environment, we fall apart. It is up to us to navigate our lives with control to make our experience the best possible.
I will miss this car, it has taken me through many life experiences and moments, and enabled me to experience the world in whole new ways. There is a lot of history and meaning here.

Top Tips for Throwing a Successful Yard Sale
Throw the best yard sale in the neighborhood with these clever tips.
Print OptionsClose
E-mail This Page to Your Friendsx
A link to %this page% was e-mailed
Big-ticket items, like furniture or baby strollers, should be front and center where drivers can easily see them.
Put something equally eye-catching at the back of the sale like a large painting, mirrors or a floor lamp. It doesn't have to be your best item, "but something interesting that people will be willing to wander through your whole sale to see," says Betsy.
Nobody wants to stop at a sale that looks picked over, so keep reviewing things throughout the day. As items sell, close any large gaps by moving things closer to the street, so it appears you're still well-stocked with potential treasures.
Try these other display tips to make your sale a success:
- It's All in the Details. Thoughtful touches can help your sale stand out. Try wrapping sets of baby linens or fabric with twine or ribbon, says Jennifer. Betsy suggests displaying jewelry on custom card stock that matches your sale signage. "It makes items seem much more special and interesting, and they sell more quickly," Betsy says.
- Tables Everywhere. Don't make people bend down to look at your things. Use regular tables for most items and low tables for kids' items.
- Hang Them Up. Hang your clothes on a portable rack to add a boutique feel to your sale.
- Display in Groups. Do you have several lamps, purses or picture frames to sell? Group them all together in one place so buyers can easily see what you have.

In New Jersey, you can see a teen driver coming your way, thanks to a new law that requires drivers younger than 21 to put a small red decal on their license plates.
But it's not just the teens that are seeing red – it's their parents as well. Many are concerned that it signals out minors to stalkers, and could lead to stalking at night or while teen girls try to get to their cars at parking lots.
The red decal comes into effect under Kyleigh's Law, which is named after Kyleigh D'Alessio, a 16-year-old New Jersey girl killed in a 2006 car accident that also injured two others. New Jersey is the first state to attempt to make young drivers known to law enforcement by marking their vehicles.
The law has been in effect for over six weeks now, and fewer than half of the 250,000 young drivers covered by Kyleigh's Law have bought the decals as of yet, which cost $4 for a pair. Teens caught without the decals face a $100 fine. And the decal may get shut down just as soon as it's gotten started, as lawmakers have already introduced bills to repeal the new law.
Stats show that around 6,000 teens die in car accidents nationwide each year, and drivers are most accident prone in their first two years on the road. New Jersey instituted a Graduated Driver License program 10 years ago that carries a curfew and limits on the number and ages of passengers who can be in a provisional driver's vehicle.
What do you think? Will the red decal do more harm then good in terms of a teen driver's safety, or does it promise to save lives? Leave your comments below.

Troopers identify man killed in 2-vehicle wreck in Duplin County
Updated On: Feb 20 2014 02:05:46 PM CST
Investigators have identified the man killed in a two-vehicle wreck in Duplin County Thursday morning. In addition, two people are seriously injured.
According to the Highway Patrol, 50-year-old Stephen Chesnutt, of Warsaw, was driving his Lincoln car on Highway 50, between Cool Springs Road and the south Kenansville bypass, at about 11 a.m. Thursday. That was when he rounded a curve, crossed the center line, and hit a red pickup truck, troopers said. The impact was so strong that the bed of the pickup truck came off completely.
(CLICK HERE: More photos of wreck)
Chesnutt died from his injuries, investigators told NewsChannel 12.
Troopers have also identified the couple and their infant child inside the pickup truck: 21-year-old Jonathan Mahoney, of Wallace, Dominque Robinson, and 6-week-old Brantly Mahoney.
Jonathan and Dominque are both listed in serious condition at a hospital, said investigators. But their baby appeared to be okay, troopers told NewsChannel 12.
Troopers said they are investigating what caused Chesnutt to cross the center line.

The Eyes Have It
Iris recognition can be the technology answer to the President's call for heightened immigration enforcement
As part of his State of the Union address in early February, President Barack Obama advocated "comprehensive immigration" reform by establishing a responsible pathway to earned citizenship; and by developing a system to attract the best talent of the world to the United States.
The President has made it clear that immigration reform is one of his top domestic priorities, and he has encouraged swift action by both sides of the aisle to ensure a pathway to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants. In exchange for passage of this plan, Obama has offered better enforcement of immigration laws as well as heightened border security.
However, the question remains: How will tougher border controls be enforced? Identifying travelers by inspecting travel documents and asking questions has its limitations — not only is it prone to error, but it often results in long delays at border crossings. The U.S. needs a system that provides a high level of security by authenticating the identity of travelers while ensuring smooth flow of travel and commerce and minimizing the intrusiveness of the process.
The solution — one quite familiar to the security industry — lies with biometric identity verification. For border security, biometrics can give governments a new weapon in the fight against illegal immigration, human trafficking, terrorism, drug-smuggling and other illegal activities.
Biometric identity verification has long held the promise of automating immigration and border management; in fact, many governments have already implemented border crossing solutions using biometrics. The majority of these systems rely on fingerprint and facial biometrics, which have provided some level of this benefit but are ultimately constrained by real-world conditions that limit their performance — such as slow processing times that can result in long delays at border crossings.
As with most revolutionary technologies, biometrics is not without its critics, who often cite privacy as a concern; but, when used with care, biometric identity verification should enhance rather than conflict with individual privacy and dignity — thus balancing security, scalability, and a dramatically improved, not to mention safer, traveler experience.
Here are three reasons why iris recognition has the potential to revolutionize border management:
1. Accuracy: When compared against other biometrics, iris recognition is by far the most accurate. Accuracy can be measured in various ways, and is generally some combination of failure-to-acquire, failure-to-enroll, false positive and false negative rates. Historically, iris has distinguished itself with an exceptionally low false-positive rate, making it well-suited to conclusive one-to-many matching as well highly accurate one-to-one authentication.
A recent U.S. government study demonstrated that for a given false negative identification rate, iris recognition is 100,000 times more resistant to false positive identifications than face recognition. In border crossing environments, iris can also provide significantly decreased failure-to-acquire, failure-to-enroll and false-negative rates.
2. Throughput: Real traveler throughput for a biometric system is a complex calculation that includes the time required to show how a system should be used, the biometric capture time itself, and the number of repeated attempts necessary for a successful capture due to incorrect matching results, poor understanding of how to use the system or less-than-ideal conditions. High throughput, of course, is critical for scalability at a border crossing, but it is also important for improving the traveler experience, and for enabling a fixed number of border officers to focus more of their efforts on persons of concern, rather than spreading their attention thin on the large majority of travelers who pose little or no risk.
