I have a Miller 250 Bobcat that I use primarily in the garage. It's kind of a pain to move that thing outside everytime I use it. Has anyone had any luck creating a venting system so I could use a welder like this indoors? What are the potential problems (you know, like dying of asphyxiation or something crappy like that) or concerns I should have. Any images of how someone has done this would be great. Thanks!

Suggestions on venting welder/generator so it can be used inside?
It just furnace venting, pop a hole in you garage wall, fit some acordian line to your machine and out the hole. Maybe put a vent cap there and stick some insulation around the hole to stop back venting.

Odijoo Review: Keeping e-Learning Simple
This guest post is contributed by Angelita Williams, who writes on the topics of online college courses. She welcomes your comments at her email Id: angelita.williams7 @gmail.com.
What, exactly, is it about Odijoo that makes it so unique? Open education has become something of a buzzword, although harnessing the powers of the Internet to get ahead in your educational and training goals is certainly a cause worth pursuing. But for those of you have tried to navigate learning and/or teaching tools on your own, you know what a jungle the Internet can be.
The great thing about Odijoo is the simplicity of its design and functionality. Often, small and medium sized businesses need a tool to train and teach their employees the skills they need to know to maximize their potential. Training employees can become expensive, however, especially for SMBs with limited budgets and revenues. Odijoo is the first e-Learning platform that combines free Learning Management (LMS) capabilities and course authoring in one. Odijoo is the first of its kind, enabling people with little technical know-how to create lessons and even entire online campuses with just a few clicks.
But lesson creation is only the beginning of Odijoo's capabilities. Once you've created a lesson that employs file saving and sharing, PowerPoint integration, quiz-making, etc., you can go one step further and compile lessons into courses and even courses into entire campuses. While most eLearning tools are fractious in nature–you have to create content on one site, teach on another, administer and host on yet another site, Odijoo combines all three into one free e-Learning platform. Once you've created the content, users can log into Odijoo, and start learning virtually immediately.
Odijoo gives content creators full control of the e-Learning solutions they create. You can decide who is invited to join in on your lesson or course or you can have completely open access. What's more, you can even decide to charge a fee to those enrolled in your courses or set of courses. Odijoo asks only for a ten percent commission on what you earn, and the rest is yours to keep.
Another great function of Odijoo that sets it apart from others of its ilk is its ability to integrate with social networking sites. As most of us who use the Internet now know, social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Ninga have moved beyond their humble mostly-for-entertainment beginnings. Facebook and its relatives enable any information to gain a fast following for free through word-of-mouth. Odijoo also offers a review function for learners, so you can get quick, honest feedback on your created content, and those looking to learn something new will be able to make informed decisions about which courses to enroll in based on these reviews.
Odijoo combines the best of the user-friendly, socially-connected Internet into one web-based and free LMS and e-Learning platform, that has the potential to transform how companies train their employees and how teachers educate their students. What's more, anyone wanting to learn something new can absorb information quickly and easily. In this way, Odijoo is a perfect online tool for almost anyone.

Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Wei-Yin Chen was brilliant over eight scoreless innings to lead the Baltimore Orioles to a 3-0 win over the Oakland Athletics in the second test of a four-game set at The Coliseum.
Chen (2-2) scattered two hits and two walks while striking out five to earn his second straight win. Jim Johnson then stranded a runner in the ninth to pick up his AL-leading ninth save. He is now tied with Pittsburgh closer Jason Grilli for the most saves in the majors.
Steve Pearce, Nate McLouth and Nick Markakis each drove in a run for the Orioles, winners in seven of their last nine games.
Oakland starter Tommy Milone (3-2) allowed just one unearned run over 6 2/3 innings to absorb the loss. He allowed six hits and struck out five in his second setback in as many starts.
The O's broke a scoreless tie in the seventh as Pearce drove home J.J. Hardy with a base hit up the middle. Hardy opened the frame with a single to right. Oakland right fielder Josh Reddick bobbled the ball and Hardy took second before coming around on Pearce's base hit.
Baltimore added two more in the ninth inning. With the bases loaded, McLouth, in a pinch-hitting role, ripped a grounder to second baseman Jed Lowrie, who couldn't handle the sharply hit ball and Hardy scored from third. Markakis added a sacrifice fly to left to score Chris Dickerson.
Baltimore went just 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position ... Oakland,
which leads the majors in runs, was shut out for the third time this season
... The A's are just 4-9 since winning nine straight games earlier this

I love talking football with opposing fans when they actually want to have legitimate conversations. What I don't like is when people only want to troll and talk smack. Not saying all the Bengals fans that have come here are doing that, but there are definitely a large amount of them doing it. If you want to talk smack and troll, please post in the Depths Of The Seas forum. If you want to have an intelligent conversation/debate, feel free to post in this forum.

Scholars' Reply to DOJ "White Paper" on NSA, FISA, the AUMF and Article II
Marty Lederman
I'm honored to be part of a diverse group of 14 constitutional scholars and former government officials who have joined together to question the legality of the NSA domestic eavesdropping program. I've previously posted about our original letter to Congress, which can be found here. The Department of Justice thereafter made public an unsigned "White Paper" attempting to provide a legal justification for the NSA program and addressing several of the arguments we had made.
In this letter, you agree that FISA does not apply to communications intercepted outside the US, except for "communication sent by or intended to be received by a particular, known United States person who is in the United States, if the contents are acquired by intentionally targeting that United States person". However, there is no evidence that any part of the NSA activity falls in this category. Under law the NSA must acquire all intelligence outside the US (although there may have been some involvement of US communications routing centers to make sure the call was routed out of the US by some preferred path where it would be easier to intercept, say by satellite). The program as described appears to be the tracking of phone numbers calling phone numbers. When the computers pointed to an interesting pattern, the phone number in question was turned over to the FBI and only then did someone check to see who it belonged to.
It would of course be trivial for anyone to use Google and look up the person associated with a phone number. However, if the NSA was careful not to perform this trivial step, then not only wasn't the US person the target, he or she also wasn't a "particular, known" person.
This is not to say that I, or anyone outside the NSA, know for sure that the NSA didn't violate FISA, but it seems rather thin to assert that nobody there was smart enough to do the few trivial things needed to avoid triggering the law.
Howard: You can keep saying this as often as you wish, but that won't make it so. The Administration has had *every* incentive to say that the NSA program involves little, or no, "electronic surveillance" as defined in FISA. But it hasn't done so, instead adopting two untenable legal arguments for intercepting "electronic surveillance" outside the "exclusive means" the law prescribes for doing so. If you were correct, a very simple argument would have ended the debate ("Don't worry -- none of this is covered by FISA."). And the pitched battle amond lawyers at DOJ suggests that there is some "there" there, too.
What is it? Most likely, NSA comes to suspect that someone here in the states has had conversations with someone suspicious overseas, and taps the phone or email of (i.e., "targets") the person here in the States, at least as to some of that person's international calls. Ordinarily, under FISA that would require a showing of probable cause that the targeted party in the States is an agent of a foreign power. But NSA can't make that showing -- indeed, in many cases, perhaps there's no evidence at all that the targeted person is an AOFP. So all NSA requires is (i) reasonable suspicion (ii) that *either* party to the conversation -- the domestic party *or* the overseas party -- (iii) is "affiliated with" Al Qaeda (a very capacious category) *or* is a member of an organization "affiliated with Al Qaeda." Such a showing would fall well short of what 1805 of FISA requires for a judicial order.
Thus, persons *here in the States* -- presumably including some who are not in any way connected with terrorism or in league with Al Qaeda; indeed, some who are not within even the terms of the AUMF itself -- are targeted for interception despite the fact that NSA cannot and does not make the showing that FISA requires for such targeted interceptions.
That's been our assumption, anyway -- and the Administration has done absolutely *nothing* that I know of to disabuse us, or the public, of that assumption.
Thank you for posting this.
I wanted to draw your attention to what I believe is a misstatement of the law (p. 8 final paragraph):
Second, even when the target of the surveillance is a U.S. person, or the information is acquired here, FISA does not require that the wiretap be turned off, but merely that it be approved by a judge, based on a showing of probable cause that the target is a member of a terrorist organization or a "lone wolf" terrorist.
The "lone wolf" provision provided for in the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 amends 50 U.S.C. 1801(b)(1) and thus is only applicable to "any person other than a United States person."
It is provisions of 1801(b)(2) that are applicable to "any person."
My understanding of the issue may well be incorrect, but this is how I see it. Thank you for devoting your time and effort to this issue of such monumental importance.
Hi Marty,
Truly excellent work, but I'm greatly puzzled by something.
Your argument that the AUMF cannot be read to repeal a specific criminal statute seems absolutely clear to me. What I don't get is this: given the strength of that argument, how could you fail to mention 18 USC 2441 (war crimes)where you discuss Hamdi and Rasul?
It seems to me that the exact same arguments apply there in spades.
And please don't think I'm tossing a tomato - I don't mean it that way at all, but this is something that has puzzled me all along IRT the detainee cases and related issues.
Indeed, it was the failure of the attorneys in those cases to point out the war crimes statute that prompted me to undertake the preposterously unlikely chore of attempting to file an amicus brief in the S. Ct. as a pro se layman in order to put that issue front and center (see CBG Hamdi Brief).
Even now it isn't mentioned nearly enough in the detainee briefs IMO, though it is mentioned some... (There are several amici in Hamdan who bring it in to good effect.) But it seems to me that it should be hammered at in EVERY brief: it's the decisive law in those cases IMO.
Anyway, I'd be real interested in your thoughts on that, privately if that would be better.
Keep up the great work,
Marty: I certainly have tried to imagine what "there" might be there, but nothing makes sense. If you think that someone is Al Qaeda, you don't stop with intercepting his international calls. You have agents follow him day and night until you can get a FISA warrent and then tap his local calls as well. If you really wanted to tap just his overseas calls, and FISA got in the way, then all the fiber optic routes switch on the tip of England, so you can get MI 6 to track the calls for you. In the end, I think your key phrase is "a very simple argument would have ended the debate". Maybe they don't want to end the debate. It is one thing to be "weak on crime" and let all the criminals loose on technicalities. It is even better if the other party is "weak on terrorism", perferring to let Al Qaeda kill Americans rather than taking necessary action. Or at least that is how the attack ads will play it up to the November elections. So they dangle the possibility that someone did something illegal out as bait, to see how many Democrats fall into the trap. The fact that there is a massive loophole and the law doesn't cover the activity is something you keep in reserve until you really need it.
The 12/27 NYT story reported that the NSA program did, in fact, acquire the intercepts in the United States:
"The volume of information harvested from telecommunication data and voice networks, without court-approved warrants, is much larger than the White House has acknowledged, the officials said. It was collected by tapping directly into some of the American telecommunication system's main arteries, they said.
"...Several officials said that after President Bush's order authorizing the N.S.A. program, senior government officials arranged with officials of some of the nation's largest telecommunications companies to gain access to switches that act as gateways at the borders between the United States' communications networks and international networks. The identities of the corporations involved could not be determined.
"The switches are some of the main arteries for moving voice and some Internet traffic into and out of the United States, and, with the globalization of the telecommunications industry in recent years, many international-to-international calls are also routed through such American switches."
Other possible scenarios include cases where someone's U.S. phone number is found on a bad guy's cellphone captured abroad, or simply harvested from traffic. Subsequent intercepts targeting that phone number would fall under FISA, even if the intercept occurred outside the United States.
Yes, the NYT does claim something about switches, but reporters get this sort of thing wrong all the time. It is not just a violation of FISA to acquire the conversation in the US. It is a violation of the law governing the NSA, which prohibts this organization from obtaining data in the US under any circumstance. This is the exclusive domain of the FBI. This will be covered by the answer to the last question posed by the Judiciary committee to the AG:
"(15) When foreign calls (whether between the caller and the recipient both being on foreign soil or one of the callers or recipients being on foreign soil and the other in the U.S.) were routed through switches which were physically located on U.S. soil, would that constitute a violation of law or regulation restricting NSA from conducting surveillance inside the United States, absent a claim of unconstitutionality on encroaching on Executive powers under Article II?"
I suspect when the question is answered we will learn the NYT got the details wrong. The NSA is smart enough to wait until the signal gets at least 12 miles off shore before intercepting the converstation and sending it back.
Howard: "It is a violation of the law governing the NSA, which prohibts this organization from obtaining data in the US under any circumstance."
Could you point us to a statutory citation on that point?
I cannot find a citation. The directive creating NSA is classified. Whatever is available is redacted. The best I can provide is the Judiciary Committee question which indicates such law exists. There is clear text on the CIA(foreign)-FBI(domestic)split but the NSA rules are fuzzy.
By controlling the routing of messages at the switches you can direct them to a convenient point outside the US where you can then collect the data without triggering FISA. Actually collecting the data at the switch does nothing other than trigger avoidable legal problems.
Again, Howard, you're dealing with Occam's Razor: if the point of surveillance was 'RAF' Menwith Hill in England, and the point of interception were outside the US, then there would simply be no story. Risen would not have reported it. It would be dog-bites-man.
In short, you're not simply clutching at straws: you're clutching at empty air and claiming that there are straws there.
So they dangle the possibility that someone did something illegal out as bait, to see how many Democrats fall into the trap.
Ah, rope-a-dope. No. This time you're playing the dope, because the reporting of this story makes it clear that Risen's sources regarded the procedure as both non-standard and of questionable legality.
(We can get into William Gibson territory and debate exactly where an international call takes place -- one of his definitions for 'cyberspace' -- but all evidence points to it being a side-issue.)

|Google+ is the social network tied to the top search engine.
That's got to count for something, right?
I've heard people describe Google+ as a mix between Facebook and Twitter, and I don't think that's too far off the mark. Personally, I think it's still growing, which can be a good and bad thing.
The good news is that you could still be one of the first G+-users on the block; bad news is that you have to wait (and hope) for other people to migrate over to the block. Of course, Google has a huge reach online, so there's no reason to doubt that people will migrate...eventually.
Oh yeah, here are those Google+ Tips for Writers I mentioned above (click here).
As with Facebook and LinkedIn, keep these tips in mind:
- Complete your profile completely. Use your name. Provide easy to find contact information. Describe who you are.
- Use an image of yourself. Not a cartoon. Not an animal. Not a piece of art. Remember that people like to connect with other people.
- Post new content regularly. Let people know you are using your account. That means connecting with other G+'ers as well.

Jumeira Gardens: A Super-City Within Dubai
As the inexorable juggernaut of Dubai's construction boom wears on amid a turbulent economic era, the city recently unveiled an incredible new development that is intended to cement its status as "a global city of the future". Master-planned by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture and developed by Meraas, Jumeira Gardens is a modern megopolis that will feature no fewer than three soaring superstructures designed by AS + GG: 1 Dubai, Park Gate, and 1 Park Avenue. Although the super-massive project will consume approximately $95 billion, it's encouraging to see that the entire community has been designed with sustainability in mind.
Conceived as "an integrated city within a city", Jumeira Gardens is designed to be a mixed-use development that incorporates low, medium, and high-density zones for business, residences, retail, leisure, and recreation. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill master-planned the East Park Zone, while Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill master-planned the Atrium City area. Although plans are still being finalized, Meraas Development has confirmed that "'Green' buildings and construction, resource conservation and overall sustainability will inform every aspect of this new district, with tools such as intelligent infrastructure technology and cutting-edge eco design serving to reduce the district's collective ecological footprint."
Chicago-based Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture are credited with designing scores of other structures that incorporate sustainable strategies. The centerpiece of Jumeira Gardens will be 1 Dubai, A tri-partite skyscraper that will rise to 3281 feet, making it the third structure tower in the UAE. Its soaring towers will be connected by a series of glass suspension sky-bridges.
Park Gate comprises six mid-rise towers that are arranged in facing pairs. A hanging garden canopy stretches between each set of structures, providing shade and cooling the neighborhood by as much as 10 degrees centigrade.
The smooth curves of 1 Park Avenue evoke Dubai's historic relationship with the Arabian Gulf. The 1,800 foot tower will incorporate solar panels, wind turbines, and a variety of other sustainable strategies in its design.
Excavation for Jumeira Gardens has already begun, and the development is expected to take 12 years to complete.

The ingenuinity is what I admire.That is reflects the arabian, indian and pakistani culture. As in the south pacific, the small island nation of Solomon Islands is now undergoing social engineering shift that tracends development in the past decade.
Solomon Islanders like Dubains if I may use that word are culturally unique. The blend of indian, pakistani adds to arab flavour.
Good on ya Dubains engineers, architectes and planners.
Cheers buddies

Have to agree with above. these buildings are white elephants. energy & resources used to maintain will be off the scale. fine while there are billions to burn from oil wealth, but in -30 years time, these will be returning to dust, the money wasted. would be better spent on education & instilling some sort of work ethic in the locals. Education & friendships are sustainable across continents & time, but gardens in the desert, only for the goats & goatherds
January 4, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Going up is good for who? who goes to these buildings? what kind of community is created? lifestyles of the rich and famously rich. do i need new Prada shoes to enter or will they accept torn up converse and a check. it won't be long before these buildings will be ghosts. no green vines hanging from the tops with grass lawns adorning the outdoor space in the MIDDLE OF THE DESERT. so lots of money can buy almost anything, but sustainability is the true test of time and none of this has a drop of social or environmental responsibility. if you want to make a new vegas, just be honest about it.

Call it what you want to call it, but America would not give these people work visas.
Plus, the amount they earn in one year in Dubai can buy them up to 2 acres of land in their villages in India.
How's that for slave labor ?
October 17, 2008 at 4:56 pm
How can you call this "sustainable" when Dubai has no viable water supply? Desalination leaves a toxic brine only part of which can be reclaimed as salt or potash — and any aquifer withdrawals are already way beyond safe yields. This is greenwash at its most pathetic.
October 16, 2008 at 4:02 am
it all looks beautiful…but at $95 billion dollars and approx 300,000 illegal mistreated foreign labourers…it looks disgusting. Top up another $5 billion dollars and you can rid Philippines of debt.
October 13, 2008 at 9:26 pm
What's so sustainable about a city built for the rich located in the desert?
October 13, 2008 at 4:21 pm
Christiane Amanpour had a great special on CNN about the slave trade in Dubai. Its economic slavery in most cases, like indentured servitude used in the sex trade or factory towns of the early 20th century in the US. People are brought in under false pretense, their passports are held and they are forced to "pay off" some imagined debt. It translates to free labor for the rest of their useful years until they are broken and tired, then they are sent home for whatever family they have left to take care of them in their enfeebled condition. Its deplorable, but no worse than anything anyone does. Governments tend to be evil, all the more so at times of rapid growth from underdeveloped status, when the moral climate has yet to catch up with the economic climate.
October 13, 2008 at 2:54 pm
It's true, dubai uses slave labor and hides them outside the city walls.
October 13, 2008 at 2:01 pm
I wouldn't call it slave labor, but for all intents and purposes it darn sure is similar. The only difference is that they aren't shipping these workers over to dubai to have them work in poor labor conditions with shoty pay. Most of these people are migrating there themselves, because of the opportunity to work and earn for their family where they were unable to make the same wages if any back home.
I feel like this is mainly due to a caste system worst than that of India's. Arab national's feel like they are truly god's gift to earth and so if you aren't a gulf coast national don't expect to be treated with the respect and decency you would afford any other human being, EVEN if an Arab waiter who is serving you. Human rights violations will not be accounted for until rights in general are distributed fairly in Dubai.
October 13, 2008 at 12:31 pm
These buildings are a,mazing. My only thought is that with 12 years until completion… won't they be outdated in design and technology by then? Just a thought…it looks amazing though.
October 13, 2008 at 11:03 am
I keep reading that Dubai uses slave labor. Is this true?

I'm the kind of cook who likes modern, creative dishes, so I'm always inventing and trying new recipes. But holidays are different, especially Passover. Although I might add a new recipe or two to a holiday meal, I tend to make many of the same foods my Mom and grandma made. And so, years ago, at my first Seder I cooked the family recipes including grandma's dried fruit compote, which she lovingly called "kumput."
Unfortunately my kids hated it and so did my husband. I never made it again. And then, a couple of years ago we traveled to Egypt and I saw this familiar looking dish on practically every breakfast and dessert buffet table. It's called Khoshaf, but it sure looked like grandma's kumput. Frankly, it was better, probably because the fruit isn't stewed, like grandma's was. In fact Khoshaf isn't cooked at all, so the fruit never completely softens. It isn't mushy, the way I remember kumput. It stays firm and pleasantly chewy after soaking in hot, sweet syrup.
I tried it out on my family and they loved it too. To be quite honest, Khoshaf is actually a Muslim specialty that is often served to break the Ramadan fast. So it may seem an odd choice for a Jewish festival. But to me it will always be grandma's kumput and belongs at my Seder.
1-1/2 cups water
Combine the water, apricot nectar and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar dissolves. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until slightly syrupy. Remove from the heat and stir in the flavoring.
Place the apricots, plums, figs and raisins in a bowl. Pour the cooked syrup over the fruit and toss ingredients. Let rest for at least one hour, tossing the ingredients occasionally.
Sprinkle with nuts and serve.
Yield: Makes 6-8 servings

Illinois' unemployment spiked for a second straight month in February, hitting 9.5%. But state officials say the increase is at least in part to increasing numbers of people who have started looking for work again. The Illinois Department of Employment Security said the rate sharply rose to 9.5% in February from 9% in January. National unemployment fell to 7.7% in February. Department Director Jay Rowell said recent job growth appears to have given unemployed people who had given up job searches reason to head back out again. Rowell pointed to the fact that the state added a net 12,400 jobs in February. The biggest gains were the addition of 7,900 jobs in the professional and business services sector and 2,500 construction jobs.

http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/12/2...-on-jared.htmlOdrick has been on the field for more than 80 percent of his teams defensive snaps.
And his best work has been at defensive tackle, where he is usually placed in passing situations. Pro Football Focus ranks Odrick 63rd of the 64 4-3 defensive ends who have taken at least 25 percent of their teams snaps this season, giving Odrick well-below-average marks in pass rush.
Meanwhile, Pro Football Focus rated Odrick as a top 20 3-4 DE in 2011, with many of those snaps coming in nickel passing situations where he was basically a 4-3 DT. Sharing playing time last year he had more sacks (6) than he did this year (5).
His best destiny is inside. Not only is playing outside hurting his production inside, but he's just not very good out there.

If blowjobs came with a Zagat rating, Kymber Troy would be off the meter. And she knows it too. She bats those big Betty Boop eyes while she downs a dick big enough to choke a horse and reveals in a sexy whisper that she loves sucking cock so much that it gets her wet. Since Kymber is so confident about her cock swallowing skills, we skipped the preliminaries, the \\'getting to know you\'s\\'and all the bullshit and got right down to what\'s important - the throat fucking. She keeps up a steady stream of dirty talk that would send most men into an early load-blowing orbit. Our stud leans her head over the edge of the bed and pile drives her throat so deep that his balls touch her nose and almost lead to our first on-set suffocation. We revived Kymber long enough to shoot a wad of jizz that landed...well, just about everywhere.

Dear Batly and Beasto
March 8, 1973
Dear Batly and Beasto,
I have no objections to you using my "marvelous account" of the buffoonery, providing, of course, that you present the entire picture as I paint it. I certainly don't want to raise the ire of my good friend R.R. I think he feels badly enough about his (our) erasures. (See Mountain #28.) He almost feels as badly about our seconding the route as he does about you and what's-his-name doing the first ascent. It all started at Badger Pass in January of 1971 when Herb Swedlund's smiling moustache and glinting eyes fronted on me over a beer in the snow-bright sunshine outside the ski lodge. He asked me if Royal had been in touch with me regarding a second ascent of the Dawn Wall. I said that he hadn't. He implied that possibly I should contact Royal. I said I would because I was definitely interested. A day later in Los Angeles Royal phoned and put the question to me. I was flattered and highly affirmative. He asked quite intently if I objected to chopping bolts. Hell no!
I drove to Yosemite, met Royal, sorted hardware, and Royal showed me the two cold chisels he had purchased specifically for the bolt chopping. How extravagant, I thought. I still hadn't caught on. We began early the next day. I led the first pitch using all the bolts for aid. Royal followed and began chopping the first bolt. "Wow!" I thought to myself, "I used that bolt. How come he's chopping it? Oh, I guess he figures he could have made that move free." He then began chopping the second bolt. "Hey, Royal, I used those bolts for aid," I yelled. "Sure you did, but chopping bolts is the name of the game—all the bolts." Now I got it. But should I do it? Hell yes, why not? I didn't like the way Harding and Caldwell did the route. I didn't like the publicity. And besides, I hadn't ever done anything controversial in my life (up to that time). I had always wanted to do a wall with Royal. I guess to some degree I was doing it for the same reasons I attributed to Harding and Caldwell—self-aggrandizement. I had no set principles or ethics of my own, so I could be swayed easily. When Royal reached my belay stance he immediately questioned me. Did I understand that we were "erasing" the route? Yes, now I did. And on we went. Besides, Royal had assured me that if we descended without accomplishing complete erasure, TM Herbert would personally castrate both of us.
On our first bivouac Royal really began questioning his reasons for erasing the route. He was having difficulty rationalizing his behavior. He had actually published an earlier opinion that completely contradicted his current feelings. I forget which day he decided that we should stop chopping. He decided that the quality of the aid climbing was much higher than he had ever expected of Harding or Caldwell and, of course, it was also taking us an awful long time to chop all those goddam bolts. I was just along for the climb. I (voluntarily) took no part in the decisions, that is, I allowed Royal to make our decisions. I really didn't care what we did just as long as it was a second ascent of the Dawn Wall. Royal asked my opinion in considering every decision, but I essentially told him whatever he figured out was okay by me. I felt I was in good hands. Chouinard once told me after he got off the NA Wall that climbing with Robbins wasn't any fun. Robbins was like a crutch. You always knew you were going to make it. . . .

CIS 471: A "post Gutenberg" e-text for biology 101

A "post Gutenberg" e-text for biology 101
In earlier posts, I talked about an electronic text Nature would publish this fall. I suggested that it was a noteworthy departure from the established textbook format and business model — perhaps the first "post Gutenberg" text.
The e-text is out now and being used on some campuses. I've had a chance to play around with it, and remain impressed. Here is what I've seen.
The professor creates a "classroom" like the one shown here. The classroom is personalized with her name and photo and an announcement welcoming the students to the class.
Click to enlarge
The classroom also contains the material she selected to include in the course. The material is organized into units, each of which contains several modules. In this example, she included four modules in the Introduction unit. She could also have included other material like summaries of and links to primary literature, and supporting topics like lab skills or hypothesis formation and data analysis.
Clicking on "textbook" takes us to the e-text itself. I put quotes around textbook, because this is not a PDF-like reproduction of a typical textbook. It is not even a "book." It is a collection of 196 modules.
Each module begins with an introduction, listing the topics covered and the skills or learning objectives it teaches and concludes with a summary, which refers back to the topics and skills. Modules also have associated multiple choice quizzes. That is pretty standard textbook fare, but the teaching "pages" covering the material are not.
I've put the word page in quotes because these are not what we think of as pages. For a start, they vary in length and are significantly longer than typical book pages. Let's look at a sample page.
The page I picked is 17 screens long on my laptop. In addition to text, it contains 13 figures, a table and six test your knowledge questions. (The page I picked did not include any animations or videos, but others do).
As shown here, the figures are like those found in Scientific American Magazine — high quality images with relatively long captions so they can stand on their own. (Nature and Scientific American are both MacMillan Publishing companies).
The page I selected contained six open-ended knowledge test questions. After reading the question, the student submits then a suggested answer is displayed. This example shows a question, my answer and the suggested answer. These are not graded or reported to the professor — they are food for thought.
The pages also include links to supplementary material like essays on the importance of this particular topic and primary references in a narrow, right hand column. The essays on the importance of a topic are written by practicing scientists and are comparable in format and quality to the text pages. The primary references include both summaries and links to the journal articles, and there are roughly 100 all together.
Modules also include multiple choice quizzes. The first time a student takes a quiz, the results are reported to the professor, but they can re-take the quiz as often as they wish. The professor has tools to analyze the quiz data, for example comparing the scores of a particular student to the class as a whole and, most interestingly, to other classes around the world which use this text. My guess is that we will see more analytic tools in the future — perhaps one day giving very specific feedback to students.
As you see at the top of the screenshot, the classroom also contains links to a threaded discussion, grade book, and teaching resources, which include PowerPoint slides for all of the figures, a list of all the primary sources, and 2,000 test questions.
We have been talking about the professor's view of the classroom. The student view is somewhat different. They have access to flash cards and cheat sheets for each module. They can take notes while they study, and aggregate those annotations into a single study guide for the module. They can also hide or display their notes while reading.
The professor can see a student's annotations, but, at this time, there is no ability for students to share them among themselves. Students expect social networking these days, so my guess is that Nature will probably build support for study groups and sharing notes in future e-texts.
The modular structure and content of this e-text is different than a traditional e-text and so is Nature's business model. Traditional textbooks are written by one or a small group of authors who write the entire book and receive royalties. By contrast, Nature has contracted with teachers and scientists to write specific modules and supplementary essays for a fee.
The payment model is also different. Traditional textbook publishers bring out new every two or three years to create demand for new books instead of used or rented books. Alternatively, they offer access to an electronic version for a limited time.
Nature has a different model. The student pays $49, which includes lifetime access to the material. Nature is committed to making continuous updates as the science and pedagogy change. The student gets a subscription, not a book. The $49 price is less than that of a typical print or electronic textbook, but every student in a class must subscribe. It seems to me that this would be attractive to the general public as well as enrolled students.
I don't know Nature's costs and revenues, but, since fewer than half of the students taking a class today purchase a new book, this subscription model might be more profitable than selling books. If this model catches on, it will hurt the used book, college book store and book rental (hard copy or electronic) businesses.
The reader does not have to download and install a program to use the book. The book is published in HTML and CSS, so it can be used with any modern Web browser. The server automatically detects the size and resolution of a user's display and delivers appropriate content. That allows students to use laptops, desktops, tablets, etc., but imposes extra cost on Nature — they have to prepare around twenty different versions of each piece of art.
Gutenberg would not recognize today's books. About fifty years after Gutenberg, Aldus made significant changes in typography, book size and production and the publishing business model. But Aldus would not recognize today's books either. Things like paragraphs, punctuation characters, chapters, indices, and tables of contents would seem to be radical innovations.
Nature has gone beyond the traditional eBook with this text, but, as with Aldus, I think this is just the first step.

Eli Epstein enjoys a multi-faceted career as performer, educator, conductor, and author. Epstein was second horn of the Cleveland Orchestra (1987-2005) and horn professor at the Cleveland Institute of Music (1989-2005). He has appeared several times as soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Cleveland Orchestra.
Epstein left Cleveland in 2005, and moved to Boston to devote more time and energy toward educational and creative endeavors. Epstein is currently on faculty of New England Conservatory and Boston Conservatory. At NEC, he is on the college faculty, NEC at Walnut Hill, and Brass Chair of the Preparatory School and School of Continuing Education. His former students hold posts in major orchestras throughout the US and Canada.
An active performer, Epstein has appeared on chamber programs at Jordan Hall, Severance Hall, Tanglewood, Philadelphia's Academy of Music, Kennedy Center, Music Academy of the West, where he was on faculty (2005-2013), and Aspen Music Festival, where he served as principal horn of the Aspen Chamber Symphony (2000-2012). Epstein has collaborated with the Borromeo and Brentano String Quartets, and has been guest principal horn for the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra, Rhode Island Philharmonic, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and St. Louis Symphony. He performs with the Boston Symphony Orchestra from time to time and has played on the BSO Community Chamber Concerts series.
Director of the NEC Youth Brass Ensemble since 2009, Epstein has conducted college ensembles at Boston Conservatory, Cleveland Institute of Music, Longy School of Music, Music Academy of the West, NEC, and El Sistema in Venezuela.
Advocating the idea that music can be a meaningful and uplifting force in society, in 2009 Epstein won Grand Prize in the Entrepreneur the Arts Contest for his Inside Out Concerts, and appeared on Heartbeat of America with William Shatner. Drawing on years of experience as a performer, educator and entrepreneur, in 2013 Epstein joined the NEC Entrepreneurial Musicianship faculty to teach their survey course The Entrepreneurial Musician.
Epstein's book, Horn Playing from the Inside Out, A Method for All Brass Musicians (second edition published in 2014), was acclaimed in the International Horn Society's journal as "an overwhelmingly stimulating and productive treatise…that will yield positive influence on legions of horn players—students and professionals alike."

Early New England burial grounds were the first public art galleries in the New World. Even today, many of these tranquil sites display the remarkable artistic, cultural and religious changes of this region. Old gravestones or markers often explained how entire families lived and died.
Wise Owl Productions brings us a program that covers the progression and interpretation of early symbolism or iconography, from family burial plots, to the elaborate "rural" and lawn park cemeteries of the Victorian era, through to the Memorial Parks of the 20th Century. Modern examples of memorialization and symbolism will be discussed, as will the techniques and skills of the early slate and sandstone carvers, contrasting with today's techniques such as laser etching. We shall also tell the stories of the people that these stones commemorate.
