Statistics: Web Grows, Apache Profits
Web statistics specialist Netcraft measured over 230 million websites in its webserver survey for October 2009.
Apache comprises about 60% of the 4.3 million or so new sites gained since September, corresponding to 2.6 million sites, according to Netcraft. A large part (748 thousand) of these Apache sites is from German hosting company Hetzer Online, which offers dynamic DNS services allowing customers to create hostnames such as yourname.dyns.cx.
The marked growth was nevertheless offset by more than half a million Apache websites lost in the U.S. Netcraft attributes the loss primarily to huge numbers of expired hostnames on The Planet. The self-described "Global IT Hosting Leader" allegedly dropped 1.4 million hostnames in October alone.
Microsoft's webserver lost a fraction of share (-0.37%) in October. However, apart from Apache, Nginx grew a fraction (+0.39%), translating into a gain for the server developed by Russian Igor Sysoev by 1.1 million websites in October to a total of 13.8 million. Netcraft considers China Telecom largely responsible for Nginx's success, especially the over 400 thousand new blogging sites at 163.com.

Charlotte Silver is an independent journalist in San Francisco, formerly based in the West Bank, Palestine.
Today there are nearly 12,000 local police departments in the United States; each with its own protocol for conducting internal investigations, documenting police use of force, and reporting allegations of misconduct to the public. There is little obligation or oversight over their actions.
Yet the fruits of their dispersed labour are tangible and pooled together in the United States' massive prison population. Police are the "point of entry" into the criminal justice system, as Michelle Alexander writes in her ground breaking book, The New Jim Crow. Scrutinising the racist practices within the police force is crucial to understanding the staggeringly disproportionate rates of incarceration of men and women of colour in local jails, as well as state and federal prisons. Is it just the plain old
Today there are nearly 12,000 local police departments in the United States; each with its own protocol for conducting internal investigations, documenting police use of force and reporting allegations of misconduct to the public. There is little obligation or oversight over their actions.
Yet the fruits of their dispersed labour are tangible and pooled together in the United States' massive prison population. Police are the point of entry into the criminal justice system, as Michelle Alexander writes in her ground breaking book, The New Jim Crow. Scrutinising the racist practices within the police force is crucial to understanding the staggeringly disproportionate rates of incarceration of men and women of colour in local jails, as well as state and federal prisons. Is it just the plain old vicious racism of individual cops that makes a black person so much more likely than a white one to end up in prison?
US Attorney General Eric Holder has made gestures towards addressing racist policing by appointing the Department of Justice as the custodian of law enforcement agencies around the country. Utilising the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, the Department has opened around 20 civil rights investigations into local police forces for suspected biased policing - more than any other administration since the law was implemented in the 1990s. In 2011, Tom Perez, former head of the Justice Department's civil rights unit, said his department was pursuing the investigations "with a focus on systemic reform".
But the system of racist policing goes far beyond the local departments the Justice Department is currently pursuing. Racist policing is not merely the product of personal attitudes, but compelling forces well outside the views or practices of individual cops and local police departments.
The need for more data
There is currently no aggregated information on police conduct, particularly how it disparately affects people of colour. This means that the FBI collects statistics on hate crimes perpetrated by civilians, but those committed by the state remain unaccounted for.
There have been some attempts to calculate, on a national scale, law enforcement's lethal racism. In 2012, the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement found that 120 black men and women in the US were killed by police, security forces or vigilantes in the first six months of 2012. Smaller-scale studies have found stark racial biases in stop-and-frisk checks and traffic pullovers.
Chris Burbank, Chief of Police for Salt Lake City, explained to me, "We report all of our criminal activity to the Department of Justice," which is then published in the Uniform Crime Report by the FBI. "But what we're missing is data on what our officers are doing."
Burbank has helped launch a new and ambitious database that aims to standardise data collection of police departments. The database is designed by the Center for Policing Equity (CPE) at the University of California Los Angeles, and has received $1m from the National Science Foundation.
So far, nearly 60 police departments around the country have expressed interest in participating in the database, on the condition they remain anonymous.
Dr Phillip Goff, a sociologist and the president of CPE, told me, "There are some pretty fundamental questions about police conduct that I'm frustrated we don't know."
Initially, the database will analyse pedestrian stops, vehicle stops, and use of force. But Goff hopes the new database will provide more insight other than proving that police are racists.
Goff and Burbank were both outspoken critics of Secure Communities, a federal programme that turns beat cops into immigration officers and has enabled the deportation of over 100,000 people. Burbank suggested the idea for the database to Goff as a way for police departments to address systemic racism.
Indeed, "reforming" racist policing at the local level, as Holder's Justice Department investigations do, removes the responsibility for the powerful role federal agencies play in fuelling the racism that is apparent in police practices.
Consider the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program that has, since 1988, amply rewarded police departments for drug arrests, which are primarily for low-level drug possession.
As journalist Aaron Cantu reported, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) culled data from the 2013 police report and found that, "blacks are nearly four times as likely as whites to be arrested for marijuana possession". Concluding, Cantu wrote: "These young people are the cash cows that police apprehend in order to fatten arrest statistics submitted in state annual reports."
Police departments can thank US President Barack Obama for this perk, as his administration revived the rewards programme in 2009 - after his Republican predecessor was willing to let it die.
Furthermore, since 9/11 the Department of Homeland Security has served as a source of cheap and ready-to-use military equipment for small-town police departments. Even when forced to lay off officers to save money, they're able to procure expensive technology: the first ten years after 9/11 saw $35bn worth of equipment handed out. And now the US Department of Defense is offering up Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles that were once deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Every day across the country, 100 to 150 SWAT raids occur in this highly militarised environment of local police forces. The ACLU just published a report that found that 54 percent of those raids are made against Black and Latino households.
Police departments are rife with racist cops, no doubt. And cops kill and maim with impunity. But it's military-strength equipment and financial resources that enable - indeed encourage - racist policing. Any effort to hold police departments accountable for overt discrimination that does not involve turning off the spigot flowing with money and weaponry is doomed to fail.
After all, why wouldn't the police continue to abuse their power when we just keep giving them more of it?

Kyle Kinane's newest special I Liked His Old Stuff Better features bits about burning his laundry, hitting pistachios with the back of his cell phone while driving, and the embarrassment inherent in your mother being impressed with you for actually owning plates. He would rather talk about Bigfoot than comedy, though. But, he was kind enough to discuss his perspective on it and his career, as well as the time he threw up while broadcasting on a popular cable network, with ION writer Kellen Powell.
There are three bands currently listed on Wikipedia's category page for "Indie Bands from Oklahoma": Aqueduct, a synth-tinged indie pop foursome currently operating out of Seattle, Other Lives, a folk three-piece that is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, and Hanson, a little known pop group that had a hit or two back in the nineties.
Reggie Watts is absurd. Most people who see his hybrid act (which combines improvised, one-man-show music with Monty Python-esque, Dadaist humour, and social commentary) are left wide-eyed, but also smiling. He's that afro'ed, sweater-wearing man with the 10 octave range your friend was trying to tell you about, who went on Conan, Ted Talks, and Letterman, with nothing prepared, spoke in accents, and then created an incredible-yet hilarious song in front of your very eyes.
OK Go have grown a lot since you last saw them, probably with a distinct vision of colours and treadmills. As any good band does though, they have grown and manifested into something that is closer to their own truth, closer to the music that now resonates with their souls and their new experiences. JJ Brewis spoke with frontman Damian Kulash about growing up and moving forward, maturity of sound, and creative balls.
Since his debut in 2005 with Final Fantasy, Owen Pallett's music has defied lazy journalism. It is utterly unique and only comparable to Owen Pallett, leaving music journalists everywhere struggling to find clever one-liners to summarize his unique brand of genius. Now an in-demand multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, arranger, and composer, you can no longer nail his music down to the orchestral pop cross.
One of the many fascinating things about Canadian musician, multi-instrumentalist, and renowned joker, Mac DeMarco, is the dichotomy between his crooned, swoon-worthy catalogue, and his oddly raw and rude public persona. Take, for instance, how his softly strummed songs about true love contrast with live show stories of DeMarco swinging from the rafters, finger betwixt his butt cheeks.
Last year saw HAIM hit the big time around the world. Inclusion in all the ubiquitous best songs of 2013 lists for "The Wire", a lauded performance on Saturday Night Live, and everyone knowing Este's "bass face", is all off the back of their critically acclaimed debut album Days Are Gone. We don't know how else to put it, these girls are big. Our music editor, Trevor Risk, meets the trio, and finds they are the refreshing exception to the rule.
We asked JJ Brewis to catch up with NYC's primo noise-pop duo and discovers their ice cool reputation peels back to reveal two down-to-earth people, who want to make music that continually grows and develops, and means something not only to them, but also to their fans.
You all recognize the ubiquitous hat, finger pointing, and wide-eyed smile. And you can't deny that you love it. Not just The Human Serviette and self made caricature, but also the most well-researched and compelling music interviewer and journalist…ever? We turn the tables on Canada's most infamous interviewer.

A Crank on Gay Marriage - Murphy Brown Revisted
Just before the 1992 election cycle, Vice President Dan Quayle gave a rousing speech about the moral decline of our nation. In passing, he criticized television character Murphy Brown's portrayal of having a child out of wedlock as a normal lifestyle choice. Of course, the Vice President thought this was a bad prime-time example for teenagers. The media ridiculed the "Murphy Brown" speech and Quayle further became the liberals' poster boy for foot-in-mouth disease.
The context didn't matter even though it was just one example in a longer context about the general decline of morality and the weakening of the nuclear family in America. I covered the Murphy Brown speech in The Forerunner, printing the whole speech for people so they could read the context of what Quayle actually said.
A similar occurrence relates to my friend Kathleen Crank who became subject to a slew of media ad hominems. Her offense was voicing her opposition to same-sex marriage as a government subsidized lifestyle. She made her remarks at a public hearing before a Senate panel in Maryland. Kathleen, like most citizens of every state that has voted on it, favors a constitutional amendment to protect traditional marriage. While most took hold of her one word or one sentence judgment that homosexual marriage would be "devastating" to our culture, no one published the full context as to why she believes this.
If you Google, "Kathleen Crank" you can find dozens of news outlets and blogs who have commented on her remarks. But none have published the full text of her statement. It's not surprising. The liberal media wants to function as a fourth branch of government in promoting judicial activism and suppressing the most important democratic instrument of our nation, the ballot box.
Katherine Heerbrandt wrote a piece for the Frederick News Post called "Redefining Marriage Again" in which she falsely claims that Kathleen "didn't say" why she thinks homosexual marriage is devastating to western culture.
Here's Kathleen's letter to this writer and then the full text of her remarks below.
Hi Katherine,
Since my daughter is also named Katherine as was my grandmother, and I happen to be partial to that name, I thought I would respond to you directly. Your article reminds me of the telephone game, where one person says something and by the time it gets to the end it is virtually unrecognizable. First I am going to attach a full copy of my testimony before the Senate committee. In it you will see that I did in fact, state exactly who is devastated by the homosexual lifestyle, drawn from my personal life. I also discussed the global devastation of AIDS.
Also, it mentions my legal background. I am a lawyer though I have chosen to put my career on hold to raise my children. I have done quite a bit of research on this issue and I wonder how much you have done. The endless and empty rhetoric (such as yours) just keeps getting repeated over and over as though no one is really thinking. The facts are conveniently ignored. The sheer number of illogical arguments you made in your op-ed combined with the total inattention to small details like checking your facts should make you blush. I have also contacted your editor to complain about your false statement about my testimony.
Kathleen Crank
Here is the original testimony
Senate Bill 169: Contitutional Amendment to define marriage as between a man and a woman – Support
Mr. Chairman, Members of the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee:
Thank you for the opportunity to speak today. My name is Kathleen Crank, and I was reluctant to testify today because I am not a president of an organization or a pastor of a church. I have a legal background but have been a stay at home wife, mother, and friend, for eleven years. I believe I represent that vast majority of ordinary American citizens and Marylanders as I stand before you today to defend my most deeply held values; those also shared by so many others.
As a friend and close family member I have much personal experience with those who are or were involoved in the homosexual lifestyle. I have shared the heartbreak and pain of those family members and friends, and their children who were abandoned by their spouses who wished to pursue a homosexual lifestyle. I have shared the pain of a friend left behind with no support money, and her and her child having to fight deadly disease in their bodies as a result of their spouses homosexual involvements. I have shared the pain of another friend whose ex-husband is actively seeking to encourage a homosexual lifestyle as an option for their young preteen daughter. I have seen the difficulties faced by my nephew as he seeks to grow up into a man since his father left and since has had many multiple male partners. I have sat beside the bed of a female friend as she was dying a horrible death of AIDS. My experience as a friend and family member to those currently involved in the homosexual lifestyle and those who come out of it is that it is personally devastating, causes devastation to others , and on a global scale is completely devastating and a huge public health risk. AIDS is now ravaging more and more people and leaving an entire continent (Africa) full of orphans. Drugs to treat AIDS are unbelievably expensive and the cost of these treatments will untimately be borne by the taxpayers. In Europe, legalizing same-sex marriage has caused devastation and a decline in marriage overall. In every other area we seek to prevent unhealthy behaviour, not bless it with the force of the law.
Redefining marriage is an activity undertaken to the peril of our civilized society. This cultural experiment undertaken in Europe has been a dismal failure. I encourage each of you to look at the research and ask yourself if we really want the cultural chaos they are experiencing.
Marriage is an institution that goes back to the beginning of the human race. In every culture, in every religion, all throughout the world and down through the many centuries, marriage and families have provided stability for men and women, cultures and nations. Marriage between a man and a woman should be blessed, recognized, and upheld as that which best nurtures the next generation and provides stability in our society. As a society and a people, we must encourage strong marriages and families as the very glue that makes our nation and state great. Children need both fathers and mothers.
America is blessed to be a nation in which we have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. I urge passage of this Constitutional Amendment so that the people can decide. This issue is far too important to be decided by such a small number of people in this state legislature.

As the unborn child attempts to escape the abortionist's suction curette, her motions can be seen to become desperately agitated and her heart rate doubles. Her mouth opens – as if to scream – but no sound can come out. Her scream doesn't have to remain silent, however … not if you will become her voice. This newly re-mastered version features eight language tracks and two bonus videos.
"… a high technology "Uncle Tom's Cabin" arousing public opinion just as Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 antislavery novel ignited the abolitionist movement." – Sen. Gordon Humphrey, Time Magazine

Frank Schaeffer Will You Please Shut Up! (Book)
High Quality Paperback — 200 pages
A Reasonable Response to Christian Postmodernism
Includes a response to the book Christian Jihad by Colonel V. Doner
The title of this book is a misnomer. In reality, I am not trying to get anyone to shut up, but rather to provoke a discussion. This book is a warning about the philosophy of "Christian postmodernism" and the threat that it poses not only to Christian orthodoxy, but to the peace and prosperity our culture as well. The purpose is to equip the reader with some basic principles that can be used to refute their arguments.
Part 1 is a response to some of the recent writings by Frank Schaeffer, the son of the late Francis Schaeffer. This was originally written as a defense against Frank's attacks on pro-life street activism – a movement that his father helped bring into being through his books, A Christian Manifesto, How Should We Then Live? and Whatever Happened to the Human Race? These works have impacted literally hundreds of thousands of Christian activists.
Part 2 is a response to Colonel Doner and his book, Christian Jihad: Neo-Fundamentalists and the Polarization of America. Doner was one of the key architects of the Christian Right that emerged in the 1980s, who now represents the disillusionment and defection many Christian activists experienced in the 1990s and 2000s. There is still great hope for America to be reformed according to biblical principles. As a new generation is emerging, it is important to recognize the mistakes that Christian activists have made in the past even while holding to a vision for the future.

The Abortion Matrix: Defeating Child Sacrifice and the Culture of Death (DVD)
Download the free Study Guide!
Is there a connection between pagan religion and the abortion industry?
This powerful presentation traces the biblical roots of child sacrifice and then delves into the social, political and cultural fall-out that this sin against God and crime against humanity has produced in our beleaguered society.
Conceived as a sequel and update to the 1988 classic, The Massacre of Innocence, the new title, The Abortion Matrix, is entirely fitting. It not only references abortion's specific target – the sacred matrix where human beings are formed in the womb in the very image of God, but it also implies the existence of a conspiracy, a matrix of seemingly disparate forces that are driving this holocaust.
The occult activity surrounding the abortion industry is exposed with numerous examples. But are these just aberrations, bizarre yet anomalous examples of abortionists who just happen to have ties to modern day witchcraft? Or is this representative of something deeper, more sinister and even endemic to the entire abortion movement?
As the allusion to the film of over a decade ago suggests, the viewer may learn that things are not always as they appear to be. The Abortion Matrix reveals the reality of child-killing and strikes the proper moral chord to move hearts to fulfill the biblical responsibility to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death and to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves (Proverbs 24:11,12; 31:8,9).
Speakers include: George Grant, Peter Hammond, RC Sproul Jr., Paul Jehle, Lou Engle, Rusty Thomas, Flip Benham, Janet Porter and many more.

Amazing Grace: The History and Theology of Calvinism (DVD)
Download the Free Study Guide!
Just what is Calvinism?
Does this teaching make man a deterministic robot and God the author of sin? What about free will? If the church accepts Calvinism, won't evangelism be stifled, perhaps even extinguished? How can we balance God's sovereignty and man's responsibility? What are the differences between historic Calvinism and hyper-Calvinism? Why did men like Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, Whitefield, Edwards and a host of renowned Protestant evangelists embrace the teaching of predestination and election and deny free will theology?
This is the first video documentary that answers these and other related questions. Hosted by Eric Holmberg, this fascinating three-part, four-hour presentation is detailed enough so as to not gloss over the controversy. At the same time, it is broken up into ten "Sunday-school-sized" sections to make the rich content manageable and accessible for the average viewer.

Vincent On CamelbackRead MoreChef Vincent Guerithault is a classically trained French chef who first gained notoriety in the 80's when a food editor for The New York Times declared his dishes to be "exceptional." In those days, his menus rarely strayed from his French roots, but as his notoriety grew, so did his creativity. It wasn't long after opening his own restaurant, Vincent's on Camelback, before the area's popular Southwestern ingredients––masa, cilantro, chili peppers––began weaving their way into his classical haute cuisine. Now, 20 years later, Vincent continues to unveil eclectic entrees that seamlessly blend these two seemingly dissimilar cooking styles, such as a wild boar loin with habanero sauce or a duck tamale with Anaheim chili. As for the dining room, velvet-tufted booths and white tablecloths make it feel as though it was plucked straight from Paris, complete with French-inspired touches such as gilded mirrors, classical paintings, and a staff that sings "Frère Jacques" at the top of every hour.3930 E Camelback RdPhoenix, AZ US

But even amid the sleek, upscale bistro setting with a glass-encased kitchen, he keeps things fun, peppering the menu with playful bites like an excellent burger that's topped as you wish. At Crush Lounge, next door, the mood is sexier, with loud music, a busy bar and small plates like roasted rabbit salad or a house smoked salmon "BLT" sandwich, each to be paired with the restaurant's list of over 50 by-the-glass wine choices. Stick around long enough and chef Gross might emerge from the kitchen himself to check in on your table with a handshake and a smile.2502 East Camelback RoadPhoenix, AZ US

As its digital presence evolves, nonprofit media organization is taking special care with sponsorships of new platforms.
As National Public Radio's digital presence evolves, it's taking special care with sponsorships of new platforms, even though they're unregulated. In conjunction with a site re-launch earlier this week, the nonprofit media organization is planning its first official iPhone app, and new mobile formats for its underwriters.
Visa sponsored the site re-launch Monday with a display ad roadblock touting its Signature Card. Though users may not notice the distinctions between a standard display ad message and the sponsorship messages seen on NPR.org, they're there. The Visa display units, for instance, promoted the card as a way to get deals on Broadway show tickets or hotel reservations. However there was no direct call to action or transactional language.
The NPR sponsorship team works with each sponsor to craft messages that create awareness or describe products without seeming like bold sales pitches. It's all in keeping with NPR's traditional media legacy of quasi commercial breaks that don't offend listeners -- or the Federal Communications Commission. For decades, NPR has had to abide by the FCC's restrictions on advertising in conjunction with its public funding. In lieu of commercial advertisements, NPR's radio broadcasts include underwriting messages from big donors.
Although NPR is not restricted by such rules on digital media platforms, the organization recognizes the importance of maintaining the spirit of the guidelines in Web and mobile environments.
"It's something that we try and navigate every day," said Bryan Moffett, director of digital sponsorship operations at NPR.
NPR's digital sponsorships are done in a way that's "very similar to how a commercial Web site would do it," said National Public Media SVP Blake Truitt. The difference, though, is the organization must meet the expectations of NPR listeners who are accustomed to short and subtle sponsorship messages. Digital advertisers have included Progressive Insurance, Bank of America, and American Express, along with movie studios and record labels. Jazz label Verve plans to sponsor NPR's Music site to promote a series of album releases.
According to Truitt, digital sponsorships account for about 15 percent of overall sponsorship revenue, up from around 10 percent last year.
A display placement for American Express's entrepreneur-aimed site Open Forum seen on the site this week read, "See how business owners are innovating, connecting, and taking charge." A related video unit for the financial services firm featured video clips organized into categories like marketing and leadership. The display units are labeled, "NPR thanks our supporting sponsors."
Its latest offering is a sponsorship of a soon-to-launch Apple iPhone application, the first officially-branded NPR app. The banner unit links to the sponsor site, launching an overlay browser window; this allows the user to interact with the sponsor's site without leaving the application. The organization also offers mobile banners on WAP sites, standard display, and pre-roll audio in-stream and in podcasts; pre-roll spots are limited to one 10-second unit.
NPR revealed its site redesign Monday, making headlines for focusing more on text-based content than video. The new version includes more images and enhanced integration of audio and article content.
The organization has three sales people dedicated to selling digital sponsorships, and nine who sell both radio and digital. About half of the sponsors buy digital exclusively, according to Truitt.
He said he doesn't believe some sponsors favor NPR's digital offerings over its traditional radio sponsorships just because they're less restricted. "I don't want it to be the safe haven for sponsors that sell products to NPR enthusiasts," said Truitt. "Some marketers just don't have radio budgets at all. They don't think of radio, but they do think of the Internet."

COMMONWEALTH HEALTH RESEARCH BOARD GRANTS for FY 2016/2017
Concept Papers due Thursday, September 17, 2015 by 4:00 pm
