SCC to start Berry Farming Program
When St. Catharine College signed a proclamation on Feb. 27, 2012, with The Berry Center, located in New Castle, Ky., hopes were high about what that partnership would produce. The opening of the Fall 2012 school year confirmed this optimism as SCC launched the Berry Farming and Ecological Agrarianism Program, housed in a newly-minted Department of Earth Studies. Dr. Leah Bayens is heading the department and coordinating the Berry Farming Program. She is designing the curricula for an interdisciplinary baccalaureate degree and a minor in sustainable agriculture, with a target start date of Fall 2013.
According to Bayens, The Berry Farming Program is founded on the urgent need to foster a sustainable future through vibrant rural communities and ecologically-oriented farms. In this way, the program fits into a widespread international sustainable farming movement, though Bayens said that St. Catharine's curriculum will be unlike any other in the state and even the country because it thoroughly merges the sciences and the arts. In fact, it uses the humanities as its critical starting point so that literature, composition, sociology, and cultural geography (for instance) will play central roles in students' understandings of their relationships to nature.
"We're in the vanguard of sustainable cultivation studies," Bayens said. "When (Berry Center Executive Director) Mary Berry Smith and I sat down to talk about the Berry family's vision for this program, she told me she was thinking of something totally unique, something that hasn't been done. I've looked at other sustainable agriculture programs, and I even taught at one at UK, and even the most innovative schools across the nation that have interdisciplinary components do not foreground the cultural side as a driving force as much as this program does."
The Berry Farming Program will, Bayens said, use cross-disciplinary learning to equip graduates for careers in sustainable farming and marketing, scientific research, community leadership, and environmental arts. It will provide four primary areas of study: sustainable crop production, environmental sciences, the humanities, and rural leadership. It will embed academic coursework with immersion experiences like internships and fieldwork.
"We will eventually have a campus facility where students can get their hands dirty—their space for cultivating, studying soil systems, and formulating designs, as well as reading, writing, and expressing themselves in a variety of genres. However, it won't just be for students in the program; we see this as a campus-wide movement. Until we have that facility available, we will be partnering with many farmers in the community who can provide internship opportunities for our students."
Bayens also stated these opportunities would provide close interaction between students and farmers.
"One of our primary goals with this program is to bridge as many gaps between the colleges and the community as we possibly can. The Berry family is very intent on making sure there is a mutual production of knowledge. They want to make sure things that happen in the classroom don't simply stay in the classroom or in the college; they want those lessons to have a life outside the college in the community. Our students and members of the local communities can reap mutual benefits with this program. Local farmers have practical experience, and they know the land. We want students from St. Catharine to have conversations and lived experiences with those folks."
Bayens indicated that one way the program will forge these connections is by working with SCC's Department of Community and Regional Studies. The rural leadership branch of the Berry Farming Program will "deal specifically with issues that make small towns and communities function well and maintain sustainability in terms of design, marketing, business and health care," said Bayens. "It will allow students to explore the possibilities for incorporating some of the Berry values into their vocations in innovative ways."
For the next year, Dr. Bayens will be using many of the same principles to develop the program's curriculum.
"I'm establishing partnerships across college departments and the community," she said, "through an advisory committee that will help integrate the good work that had already been established at St. Catharine and in the local community. I'll also be establishing a faculty base geared toward designing and delivering interdisciplinary courses that merge the arts and agriculture, stewardship and community engagement." The short-term plans also involve recruiting the first wave of students, and Bayens has been working closely with the SCC Admissions team to spread word to traditional and non-traditional students as well as future and current undergraduates.
In addition to her duties as the chair of the Earth Studies Department, Bayens will also be an assistant professor of English, having earned her doctorate in English from the University of Kentucky in December 2011. Her areas of specialization are 19th century American literature, as well as environmental literature.
"I took a very interdisciplinary approach to my research and into the development of my Ph.D., and that was based on studies of the environment, ecology, culture and the literary side of how people relate to the world around them," she said. "I've always wanted to do work that was interdisciplinary in nature and had experiential elements that allowed both me and my students an immersion-oriented education. I think this is exactly the program, as well as the department, that will foster this vision. St. Catharine is a perfect fit because of the emphasis on stewardship and community, which is one of the reasons the Berry family decided to partner with the college."
The work Dr. Bayens did on her dissertation traces the historical, cultural and literary foundations of sustainable agriculture literature, including writings by Wendell Berry in addition to works by other notable authors such as Michael Pollan, Barbara Kingsolver and novelist Ruth Ozeki.
"Wendell Berry has been the beacon for sustainable agriculture for over 50 years," Bayens said. "I'm looking at this popular movement towards local farms, farmers markets, ecological agriculture and the momentum of those ideals fueled by those literary works. There are so many people now concerned about the quality of our food sources and the viability of local farms."
For Bayens, to study and research Wendell Berry's work is one thing, but she is honored to now be able to work directly with the Berry family.
"I keep pinching myself," she said. "I started studying Wendell Berry when I was in high school. I remember when my mom, rather unceremoniously, handed me her copy of The Unsettling of America she used in college. It had all of her notes inside, so I was able to add my own notes alongside hers. It's a really valuable book to me because it shows this was something my mom and my family has valued. This isn't about being in the presence of celebrity or about the acclaim of this family, but it's about sitting down and having a conversation with people who are on the same page as you and how you can do something progressive that has the potential to make a difference in the ways our communities function."
The Berry Farming Program appeals to more than just those who are working the soil day after day.
"Wendell Berry's work has been influential in so many different circles," Bayens added. "He reaches out, not only to traditional farming families, but also to those who are part of the urban agriculture movement, home gardeners, people interested in environmental peace and justice – all people who are interested in creating and cultivating circumstances that are good for people and for the world in which we live. It's a unique vision for a program that builds on what some astounding people have done in sustainable agriculture."

Does anyone know if it is possible to White List an IP range in Firewall 2?
I often work in a location where the ISP only supports dynamic IP's and the router keeps dropping off and obtaining a new IP.
This means I am forever having to whitelist my IP - usually after making theme changes - becoming very tedious indeed.
If this is not currently possible - may I please request this might be a future feature.
I guess this will open me up to attacks from people on the same ISP, and potentially give users enough rope to hang themselves, but to be honest - in my case - I figure no one with half an ounce of IT knowledge would be with this crappy ISP anyway and I have so many IP's in the whitelist that it's all the same odds!!!

Any advice on possible script hints or learning documentation is much appreciated.
I don't believe there's a built in tool for doing this - though there are a number of ASP and other type of tools that you can install.
Other people have written scripts to do work like this - here's one example of a script which generates signatures.
I am unsure whether there's a tool or not, but I am wondering if you can accomplish this with Disclaimers, which you can have the Edge Transport server add to messages that address various criteria you set up.

Since my daughter goes to nursery school midafternoon a few days a week, we have time to play at home or go to the park before she goes to school. Sometimes, in an effort to break up the long trek there, I will take her and my son to a park equidistant between our home and the preschool. Frequently, she will bring her doll stroller and walk beside me, pushing it as I guide us through the park. Later, while she's in class, I will either run errands or play with my son in the park, her babydoll and baby carriage tucked into the storage basket of our stroller.
My sit and stand stroller and toddler seat are perfect for the active lifestyle of my family. My son gets to accompany his big sister on her outings and my daughter gets to safely explore her own independence with the knowledge that she can still always hitch a ride with mom.

The Fabricatorz are firing on all cylinders as an eventful year is wrapping up. Today sees the fruition of several projects lead by the Team.
Aiki Framework kicks things off with it's latest: Version 0.7. A renewed focus on usability and speed highlight much of the development cycle. With some great contributions from Roger Martin, project lead (and Fabricatorz Developer) Bassel Safadi presents back-end systems that have been revamped and polished to deliver content at lightning speed. Pretty URLs, a hotly requested feature, has made it's way into the new Release, complete with documentation. Developer control continues to drive bug fixes and revisions. Once system-dependent, Aiki Alert messages have been retooled to allow complete handling, via CSS.
Aiki's leading site, The Open Clip Art Library is showing no signs of slowing down with it's 2.8 Release. Fabricatorz Developer Brad Phillips brings in a new "Collections" feature, in which registered users can create sets that contain the clip arts of their choosing! The process begins by finding the perfect image and selecting "+Add to Collection" on the right-hand side of the details page. Created Collections are displayed on each user's profile page. This Release is marked by an update of the site to use Creative Commons latest CC Zero Public Domain Dedication tool. Jon Phillips says of the new Dedication:
"Open Clip Art Library is used all around the world by Wikipedia, teachers, artists, and plain old Mom's as a key source for graphics. By updating our licensing tool, we are in compliance with the latest Creative Commons recommendation for releasing works into the public domain globally, and leading on the net with trying to increase sharing. This type of sharism is crucial to the open web."
For more information about the latest Aiki Framework and Open Clip Art Library offerings (including new themed content), check out the Official Press Release. To get involved and help bring these projects to even greater heights in upcoming releases, take a look a look at the Launchpad blueprints for both Aiki Framework and The Open Clip Art Library.

Turkish track chairman resigns amid doping cases
ANKARA, Turkey -- The chairman of Turkey's track and field federation has resigned in the wake of several doping scandals that have clouded Istanbul's bid for the 2020 Olympics.
"I thought it would be right that I step down," Mehmet Terzi, who has led the Turkish Athletics Federation since 2004, said in a resignation letter published Thursday. "Unfortunately, it is a fact that so many anti-doping crimes were committed outside my and technical staff's control."
Terzi's decision came two days after the IAAF announced two-year bans for nine Turkish athletes, including two teenagers, who tested positive for anabolic steroids. Six of those cases involved field athletes testing positive for stanozolol at Turkey's national university championships held in May.
Earlier this year, the IAAF asked the Turkish federation to investigate Olympic 1,500-meter champion Asli Cakir Alptekin and two-time European 100-meter hurdles champion Nevin Yanit for alleged doping violations.
In June, eight Turkish athletes, including 2004 Olympic hammer silver medalist Esref Apak, were caught doping, and dozens reportedly failed targeted tests before the Mediterranean Games hosted by Turkey.
The doping cases come as Istanbul competes with Madrid and Tokyo for the right to host the 2020 Olympics. The host city will be selected by the IOC on Sept. 7 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Ugur Erdener, president of Turkey's national Olympic committee, said in a statement Friday that Turkey is "working aggressively and successfully to ensure that doping is eradicated completely from Turkish sport."
"There may be more positive tests to come, but it is a price we must pay to see clean young Turkish athletes winning medals on the international stage," said Erdener, who is also an IOC member and serves on the executive committee of the World Anti-Doping Agency.
No replacement for Terzi was immediately announced.
"I will ensure that the new leadership of the Turkish Athletics Federation abides by the rigorous standards set out in Turkey's comprehensive anti-doping legislation, other national laws and international anti-doping practices," Erdener said.

Since 2012, groups of Shanghai American School middle school students have taken four-week journeys to the village of Xizhou in Southwest China's Yunnan Province as participants in the school's Microcampus program. As representatives of their campuses, these students leave the "bubble" of their home city of 22 million people and become immersed in a new community of 2000 people, 2000 kilometers from home, at 2000 meters above sea level.
The Phenomena group--the sixteenth--arrived in Xizhou on April 30th, 2016. Guests from around the world are encouraged to follow their journey--reading about, responding to, and joining in the learning adventure.

Ex-N.Y. Insurance Regulator Dinallo Joins Debevoise
Eric R. Dinallo, the former New York Superintendent of Insurance who oversaw the industry during the peak of the financial crisis, joined Debevoise & Plimpton LLP as a partner in the law firm's Manhattan office.
Dinallo said today he expects to represent financial-services companies on enforcement issues, internal investigations and mergers and acquisitions. He was approached by Debevoise partner Wolcott Dunham after losing a race in September to become the Democratic candidate to replace Andrew Cuomo as the state's attorney general, Dinallo said.
"It was the only firm I spoke with," Dinallo said in a telephone interview. "It has a unique compensation structure. Partners within a class are paid the same, so there is no eat what you kill, just a bunch of super-smart lawyers pulling on behalf of the client."
Presiding partner Martin Frederic Evans declined to be more specific about Dinallo's role. Debevoise, with about 700 lawyers worldwide, represented American International Group Inc. in its $20.5 billion spinoff of AIA Group Ltd. in Hong Kong, and has advised companies including Amazon.com Inc., Prudential Financial Inc. and Dell Inc. on merger deals, according to the firm's website.
The firm, with Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, represents JPMorgan Chase & Co. in national litigation related to mortgage foreclosures, Joseph Evangelisti, a JPMorgan spokesman, said in an e-mail. Debevoise also has a large private-equity practice.
Ethics Rules
New York's ethics rules will prohibit Dinallo from appearing before the state's insurance department for six months. "There may be some matters that I will need to review whether I will have to be recused," he said.
Dinallo last worked at a law firm in 1995, when he left his position as an associate at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP to join the Manhattan district attorney's office. He later joined the state attorney general's office under Eliot Spitzer and headed the investor protection bureau.
He had stints at Morgan Stanley and Willis Group Holdings before Spitzer, who had been elected governor, appointed him superintendent of insurance. Dinallo oversaw the settlement of claims stemming from the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, as well as the crisis in the municipal bond insurance market in 2008. He resigned from the insurance department last year.
Dinallo said he will continue to teach professional responsibility at New York University's Stern School of Business, although on a reduced schedule. He has no plans to run for office again, he said.
This year's campaign, Dinallo said, "cured that."

Keighley announces Final Hours of Mass Effect 3
GameTrailers host Geoff Keighley's confirmed that his next personal project will be The Final Hours of Mass Effect 3.
The games media veteran announced his latest effort via Twitter, offering a link for interested parties to sign up for launch notifications.
Keighley apparently had "unprecedented access to document the creation" of the Mass Effect series at BioWare's Edmonton studios.
The project will presumably be released as an app-style Book for iOS and Kindle, as was his previous offering, The Final Hours of Portal 2.
Keighley was also behind many of GameSpot's famous long-form Final Hours pieces during his stint as editor.
Sometimes we include links to online retail stores. If you click on one and make a purchase we may receive a small commission. For more information, go here.

Hi guys,
I have a bit of a problem with my wordpress.
It looks like the style sheets for the editors are failing to load.
This happens regardless of the theme I have active.
And it is not just this installation of wordpress either. I have another wordpress hosted on the same web server where the problem is the same so it could be some sort of file permission issue.
Any ideas?

BEST BETS: "Jessica Jones," "Big Trouble/Escape from New York" & More October 2016 Highlights
Comic Books
"Suicide Squad" hits theaters this August, which means there's still plenty of time to get your opening night outfit together — so why not start out with NiKEiD's customized "Suicide Squad" Converse Kicks?
The unisex high tops currently retail for $80 on the Nike webstore and feature several different "Suicide Squad" characters, specifically Harley Quinn, The Joker and Deadshot. The kicks are also available with the customer's choice of rubber sidewall, racing stripe, lace, patch logo and more.
After showcasing impressive LEGO sneaker creations for months on his Instagram page, artist Tom Yoo has at last decided offer some of his sculptures for sale.
The series of 10 limited editions pays tribute to such Nike shoes as the Air Mag, the Air Jordan 1 and the Air Yeezy 2, all recreated with bricks (ranging in number from 446 to 774). These aren't for the casual sneaker or LEGO fan, however: a single signed-and-numbered shoe will set you back between $2,000 and $3,000.
When you run through a list of Godzilla's greatest adversaries, a number of names will come to mind. Rodan, Mothra, Barkley — yes, Charles Barkley. The NBA icon actually went up against Godzilla in a game of basketball in a classic 1992 ad (fittingly titled "Godzilla vs. Charles Barkley"), and now Nike is paying tribute to that memorable spot with a new pair of Godzilla-inspired Air Max CB'94
To achieve maximum Godzilla-ness, the shoes feature both a gradient underlay and reflective lizard-skin overlays. The footwear also sports customized Godzilla insoles and an Air Max air bubble unit.
The photo above isn't from a comic convention or even a new Apple release, but rather the debut over the weekend in Japan of the Jordan X Slam Dunk Collection. More than 300 people reportedly lined up to get their hands on the collaboration between Nike and manga artist Takehiko Inoue.
The collection includes the limited-edition Air Jordan VI ($250), Jordan Super.Fly 3 ($185), two T-shirts and a hat, all featuring Inoue's artwork and other nods to the bestselling basketball manga (for instance, protagonist Hanamichi Sakuragi's school and jersey number).
Jordan X Slam Dunk launches everywhere else in the world on Nov. 1.
Nike has unveiled its full Jordan X Slam Dunk Collection, inspired by Takehiko Inoue's bestselling basketball manga.
The all-red upper of the limited-edition Air Jordan VI ($250) features imagery highlighting moments from the series, paying tribute to protagonist Hanamichi Sakuragi's "personal growth and on-court talent." The Jordan Super.Fly 3 ($185), meanwhile, is described as "the canvas for the new sketches of the Slam Dunk world. The all-black upper provides the perfect backdrop to showcase the continued on-court legacy of Sakuragi. Even the shoebox serves as an additional platform to tell Sakuragi's continued story."
As I don't follow soccer, I recognize only a few of the faces in "Winner Stays," a four minute-plus ad — heck, it's a short film — that's debuted as part of Nike's promotional campaign for the 2014 World Cup, but I don't need any team rosters to pick out one of the players: the Incredible Hulk, who makes an appearance at about 2:30.
Now why does Marvel's Green Goliath have a cameo? You're asking the wrong guy — hey, I have trouble following the commercial's plot — but Blastr suggests it's a case of mistaken identity, as Brazilian player Givanildo Vieira de Souza, aka Hulk, is called in, but the emerald giant appears instead. Watch the full ad below.
Cartoonist Ron Wimberly is a busy man — but not too busy to try something new.
For the past few weeks, the Prince of Cats creator has been working with Nike and advertising agency Weiden & Kennedy comic strip about Detroit Lions' wide receiver Calvin Johnson. Launched in September, Calvin & Johnson tells the story of Calvin and how he uses his alter ego (named Johnson) to help manage his life off the field and unleash his speed on the field. The Johnson alter ego is more than just another side of Calvin, as Wimberly states it's played — in comic form — by rapper/media mogul P. Diddy. If that doesn't sound like a traditional comic, that's on purpose; Wimberly says that's one of the reasons he chose to do it.
"What's cool about this job is that it's a comic that you won't find in a comic book store. It's not about superheroes," he told ROBOT 6. "Hell, it's kind of in the style of yonkoma manga. It stars people of color, made by a person of color. And it's produced by Nike; they see the value in the medium for everyday folk who are not necessarily initiated in the language of comics. And none of that was deliberate … just happened that way. So that's cool … rare, but hopefully not for long."
Despite how well Amanda Conner might be able to slam-dunk a basketball, it's her artistic ability that's got her joining forces with Nike on a new campaign. Joining with Star Wars artist Jan Duursema, Conner has created a series of superhero-friendly illustrations promoting Nike's women's training line under the title "Make Yourself: A Super Power." Here's the artwork released so far, but we wouldn't be surprised if there are some actual comics in the offing.

Osay struggled to remain coherent. Talk. She needed to talk. She forced a slight grin and asked in a raspy voice, "So, anything happen while I was gone, or did I have all the fun?"
Tawnos chuckled, despite the seriousness of the situation. "Yeah, it looks like you got selfish on us," he said. "But you took a beating. From what I can tell, you've lost a significant amount of blood, and this looks like it's already been infected. We need to get you the proper treatment, before it gets any worse."
Osay winced. "I think I agree with you." Her hand rose, her fingers still wrapped around the handle of Ashalle's knife. "Here's your knife. You were right, it did come in handy." She glanced at it and added, "Sorry I didn't have time to clean it off. Kinda messy..."
He took the dagger and slid it into his blaster's holster again. "I think Ashalle will understand," he said, grinning. He looked at her for a moment, his face suddenly grim. "You should have let me stay behind."
Osay shook her head. "Nah. That passage was too narrow for two people to fight well."
"You saying I'm fat?" he asked, trying his best to distract her from the pain while he tended to her wound.
Osay pulled in her breath sharply as Tawnos gently cleaned her wound with the disinfectant. She growled, "No. If you were, I would've brought you along as the shield."
He laughed, despite himself. "Guess that's a step up from how you thought of me a few days ago, eh?"
Osay croaked out a short laugh. "Yea, you could say that."
He doused more disinfectant on the cloth he was using before replying. "Well, if it means anything, you've redeemed yourself in my eyes since we first met, too."
Osay smiled distantly. "Always good to know one less person in the galaxy hates you." She let out a sharp gasp as the cloth touched her again.
"Yeah, well... sometimes I get a little... carried away with my persona - the mask I through up. Used to be I just used it to hide, but these days I use it to... push people away." He looked at her oddly. He realised with a chill that he had never talked about this with anyone before, and reeled himself under control again. He cleared his throat. "So, yeah," he said, suddenly uncomfortable. "I just... want to say sorry. For being an ass."
Osay bit her tongue hard before answering, "Apology accepted. While we're on the subject, I'm sorry, as well."
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it," he said, slowly dabbing at her wound again.
The girl suddenly remembered something. "Is Lite awake?"
Tawnos glanced over his shoulder, where Gherion was now tending to her. "No yet, no," he said. "She's still out cold, but she's not in any immediate danger." He turned back to face her. "Which is more than can be said for you," he muttered, returning to her arm.
Osay grimaced as he lightly dabbed her arm. That knife she'd been cut with had probably been filthy. She needed to clean out her arm, preferably quickly instead slowly, like Tawnos was doing it. The girl's jaw tensed. She'd had enough of this. Time to get the job done.
Osay reached over herself with her good hand and grabbed the bottle of disinfectant from beside her head. Before Tawnos could stop her, she poured a good part of it into her wound. Osay screamed in agony as the stinging fluid ran across her exposed nerve endings and muscle tissue. She dropped the bottle a few moments later. Her nervous system twisted from the shock. Osay's hand caught Tawnos's wrist. She gasped, "Don't leave me!" just as she passed out.
Tawnos was momentarily shocked by Osay's sudden outburst. Not sure whether he had heard her right or not, he shook off his confusion and cursed. "Damn woman..." he muttered, tossing aside the now nearly empty bottle of disinfectant. He wrapped a fresh cloth around her arm, and tied the makeshift bandage tight. He checked her over one last time. Satisfied that she only had the one serious wound, he sighed and rose from his crouched position at her side. He rubbed his eyes, a wave of exhasution breaking over him, and spoke to the room at large. "We should head back," he said. "Celeb, you take Lite. I'll carry this one," he continued, indicating Osay. "And Gherion, keep an eye on Ashalle for me." He carefully reached beneath Osay and lifted her from the bed, taking the top-most sheet with her. "The sooner we get back to Erussa, the better..."

Fool's Gold can be one of three minerals. The most common mineral mistaken for gold is pyrite.
A naturally occurring inorganic element or compound having an orderly internal structure and characteristic chemical composition, crystal form, and physical properties.
An intrusive igneous rock made of plagioclase feldspar and amphibole and/or
Gneiss is a coarse-grained, foliated metamorphic rock that commonly has alternating bands of light and dark-colored minerals.
Granite is an igneous rock that is composed of four minerals.
Sterling silver is the standard of quality for articles containing 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper (and/or other alloys).
The fineness of jewelry gold is stated as the number of parts in twenty-four that are gold. Thus, 24 karat gold is pure gold; 12 K would be an alloy that is half gold and half copper or other metals.
White gold was originally developed to imitate platinum, and is usually an alloy containing 25% nickel and zinc. If stamped 18 karat, it would be 75% pure gold.
A rock is an aggregate of one or more minerals; or a body of undifferentiated mineral matter.

I am having a full blown panic attack tonight. I got to hold my daughter for the first time today.
I had been cleared by my doctor (I had a sinus infection my whole pregnancy and was still struggling with some small effects this week) before I came to the hospital this weekend.
I was feeling GREAT!! No signs of any kind of sickness. The minute we went from the Warm NICU to the cold air outside, my head stuffs up and I get a little bit a cough.
I'm so scared. What if the Dr. was wrong and I hurt my little girl? Has anyone had to deal with something similar?

The purpose of this paper is to focus on the local echo-canceling problem of full-duplex scrambled speech communications over a two-wire telephone network when the scrambling transformation is located between the handset and body of a telephone. Such a design makes possible very efficient protection against electromagnetic compromising emanation, which in turn substantially enhances the overall security of a protected communication. We propose a new adaptive FIR filter algorithm for local echo cancellation in such applications. The proposed algorithm differs from the conventional one by the construction of input signals in an optimal way using the D-optimal experiment design. In this way, at each step, we generate a new sample of the D-optimal pilot sequence for the filter parameter estimation. Consequently, the adaptation of the local echo canceler is defined as an initialization process in the first phase of each protected telephone call. The advantage in using the proposed adaptive FIR echo canceler is demonstrated through simulation results

I'd been getting PHP 'notices' to the effect of:
"Notice: has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.0! Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and capabilities instead. in /Users/***/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3466"
This message was frustrating as it seemed to interfering with modification of the headers.
ie. After pressing 'save' on the 'Edit User' page, I was presented with the previous notice, plus the following warning:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /Users/***/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php:3466) in /Users/***/wordpress/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 934
And the rest of the page content was not displayed.
So after a bit of searching I found that in cache-images.php, line 86, the function call 'add_management_page' contained the argument that is deprecated.
I changed it from:
add_management_page( __( 'Cache Remote Images', 'cache-images' ), __( 'Cache Remote Images', 'cache-images' ), 8, __FILE__, 'mm_ci_manage_page' );
add_management_page( __( 'Cache Remote Images', 'cache-images' ), __( 'Cache Remote Images', 'cache-images' ), 'activate_plugins', __FILE__, 'mm_ci_manage_page' );
Now the notice is gone, and the headers are not modified.
The question is; is this the correct fix?
Also, is the capability level of 'activate_plugins' a suitable one?

North Nikiski, Alaska
April, 2015
I am surrounded by wonderful, fun loving friends and relatives.
This is a recent escapade with Dolores, my Alaska friend of 40 years.
Dolores and I are scheduled to have cataracts removed this month by different Doctors. We were comparing and when it came time for Dolores to have one eye done last week, I volunteered to take her to her surgery. She is to have the other eye done next week - all done in Soldotna at the hospital. Mine will be done in Anchorage.
2 teaspoon ground fenugreek or 1 tablespoon toasted and ground fenugreek seeds* (see note following recipe regarding sources)
2 teaspoons ground fennel or 1 tablespoon toasted and ground fennel seeds*
1½ teaspoons ground coriander
1½ teaspoons ground turmeric

1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon dry dill weed ground to a powder, or 1 teaspoon toasted and ground dill seeds*
½ teaspoon ground dry mustard
A cut-up whole chicken, simmered in an herb and spice-laden tomato-based curry sauce containing onions, green peppers and garlic, topped with currants and toasted almonds, is what comprises an American classic dish known as Country Captain. Considered traditional lowcountry fare, the origins of Country Captain remain highly speculative, even mysterious.
Remember the warm spinach salad? That hot bacon dressing, crumbles of blue cheese, crunchy nuts and those canned orange slices, all mounded over a bed of slightly wilted spinach?
I have fond memories of those now pretty dated creations. My aunt used to take me to the mall restaurant for special occasions, and since she was my favorite relative I grew up loving those salads. And I was so proud of loving a "health food" like spinach. Then again, no matter how healthy the spinach was, I'm willing to bet the rest of those ingredients weren't doing me any favors.

Since the Beluga's are showing up I thought this would be an appropriate story..
I arrived in Alaska in 1967 with three little kids and three suit cases. It was my first ride on an airplane and about my first time out of the State of Colorado.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — When Portland chef Jenn Louis set out to perfect pasta dumplings in Italy, she was occasionally met with such disdain from local chefs she might as well have been trying to push the doughy fare to the Paleo diet crowd.
"Each person I interviewed and cooked with had a different notion about what was and was not gnocchi. When I approached the subject as dumplings, I was quickly corrected and told that dumplings are Chinese food. (This was accompanied by a smirk and shake of the head in many cases.)," Louis writes in her new cookbook, "Pasta by Hand."
Whether you've been reading this column for years, or are relatively new to the food pages, you probably have already gathered that of all the culinary disciplines explored over the years, baking is the one for which I feel the most passion. So, it's no wonder, that I've been making a habit of sharing recipes for cakes, pies, brownies, cookies and other baked desserts with a great deal of regularity, including several stunning recipes from the founders of Brooklyn, N.Y.'s Baked Bakery, Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito, by way of their "Baked" cookbooks.
Growing up on the farm was most exciting around Spring and Easter. Trees were leafing out, some of Mom's flowers were peeking through and the grass was getting green. If the Easter was a little later in the month, the lilac tree was getting ready to bud. Dad had plans for all his crops or had already plowed and planted some. He was very busy in the Spring. We were outdoors every chance we got, exploring what was left of winter and what was growing up through the ground.

I have multiple email accounts set up in Thunderbird 3.1.10 in Mac OS X 10.6.7, and have just installed latest GnuPG and Enigmail.
The Enigmail setup wizard helped me set up a Key for signing emails, and apparently it is tied to a "user ID" it created for one of my emails, say email address "A".
Question: If I send an email from my email address/account "B" in Thunderbird and sign it with the abovementioned key, will this email and its digital signature contain any information related to my email "A"?
I just don't want someone receiving emails from my address "B" to know anything about my address "A". Therefore do I need to create separate keys for all my email accounts" If so, how?

COLUMBUS (AP) — Officials say Ohio's unemployment rate has taken its biggest one-month drop in nearly 30 years amid improvement in the state's job market and overall economy.
The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services said today that joblessness fell in November to 8.5 percent, from an even 9 percent in October.
Department spokesman Ben Johnson says the half-a-percentage-point decline is the largest since the summer of 1983. Also, last month's unemployment rate was the lowest since December 2008 and was below the national rate of 8.6 percent.
Johnson says unemployment went down as the state added jobs and as the labor force shrank because some people stopped looking for work.
Ohio payrolls outside of farms grew by 6,000 in November, led by hiring in services.
"China Gets Revenge On Obama With Tariff On U.S. Autos"
"President Barack Obama hit China automobile tire makers with a trade tariff in 2009 and now Beijing has struck back with a potentially more punitive tariff, as much as a 21% tax hike on U.S. car exports bound for China, the world's largest auto market."
This might put a real damper on a lot of this snail paced recovery. The uniter has failed again. Seems as though China has the last laugh, as America celebrates the tire tariff.
Sounds like you are for the Red Chinese to win this one.
There are a lot more factory jobs in Ohio than there was just a year ago.
Rocky WHERE ? Surely not around here. I have a son who's been lookiing for work, but can't find anything.
I believe they hired a bunch in Brookfield.
Also they are going to hire about 350 at Vand M

Storm cleanup yields fields of refuse
Published: Thursday, November 18, 2004 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 18, 2004 at 12:00 a.m.
September's strong storms, Ivan and Frances, may be a distant memory to residents and part of that is due to the seven weeks of debris cleaup by the Hendersonville Public Works Department.
"We have picked up approximately 12,871 cubic yards of debris," said director Tom Wooten of the yard waste that would almost fill an area two and a half football fields long and 6 feet high.
Crews consisting of a backhoe and at least three dump trucks and one garbage truck carrying a crew of five people began touring city streets Sept. 21, then were followed by a city street sweeper to remove smaller debris.
Any remaining yard waste from the storms can still be taken care of by the city.
"Our Sanitation Department, on your regularly scheduled garbage day, will pick up any remaining debris as long as it meets our size requirements," Wooten said.
To be collected, limbs and logs must be less than 8 inches in diameter and no longer than 6 feet. Contractors must remove their own debris and all debris will be ground into mulch and offered to residents at no charge.
Leaf collection
Public Works is also focusing on leaf collection, which is into its third week.
"We have two machines running on opposite sides of town and are going down every street," Wooten said. "If you have leaves piled up next to the street, we will get them."
Residents are asked not to rake leaves into the street or onto the sidewalk, as that can stop up storm drain inlets and cause street flooding. The city of Hendersonville also asks people not pile leaves on sidewalks because that can create hazards for pedestrians.
Instead, rake leaves into piles next to the sidewalk and keep them separate from limbs and logs.
For more information please contact Wooten at 697-3084.

Beaconhills College was established in 1982 in Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs. Beaconhills is an independent, open-entry, co-educational Christian school with two campuses in Berwick and Pakenham. The College was founded through the vision of local Anglican and Uniting Church leaders.
Our five sub-schools from Early Learning through to Year 12 are designed give a smaller community feel. Students always feel part of their school 'family'.
This sense of community is one of our key strengths and defines our College. So too does our diverse and innovative curriculum, our global outlook and emphasis on caring for others both locally and abroad. The College was founded on Christian principles, which underpin all of our programs and how we care for students.
I genuinely believe we are the best education choice in our region of Melbourne.
Given our reasonable, all-inclusive fees, there is no doubt that the incredible range of programs we offer - along with top class facilities and highly-dedicated teaching staff - truly set us apart.
Our wish is for our graduates to go out into the world with three core values: compassion, respect and integrity. We believe this is the most important framework for their future happiness and success. Everything else will follow.
I invite you to watch my video to learn more about Beaconhills.

"In soccer players and in many other sports that require fast running, we've seen many athletes develop hip osteoarthritis down the road - even if they didn't have a previous hip injury," says David Dines, MD, chairman of orthopedic surgery at Long Island Jewish Medical Center and medical director for the Long Island Roughriders soccer team.
He notes that those "built" to master their sport seem to be most prone. "These people are often slightly bow-legged and perhaps a bit pigeon-toed -- a build like Jackie Robinson that helps gives them incredible speed," Dines tells WebMD. "Because of this, their hip joint is typically forward angled a bit and as they train and train for years or decades, they eventually wear away at the joint."
Of course, the constant pounding from hours of running each day are only aggravated by weight gain that often occurs after retiring. "If you put on 15 pounds to a joint that's already susceptible, that's a tremendous amount of additional stress."
Dines says this doesn't mean that hip problems are inevitable for all former soccer players, football running backs, or sprinters - or even recreational athletes with slightly bowed legs and a tendency to run with toes pointing slightly inward.
"These people, in particular, might be at a slightly higher risk of later hip problems," says Dines. "But no matter who you are, your age, your body type or what sport, if you do the appropriate warm-up exercises before running, you may help reduce the risk of these later hip problems."
His recommended stretches:
Place the heel of one foot on a chair or edge of a desktop in front of you so toes are pointing upward, while your other foot is flat on the floor.
- Slowly lean forward to touch your toes, stretching your hamstring.
- Hold the "touch" for about three-to-five seconds, and repeat several times.
- Then switch feet.
Lying face up with your back to the floor,
- Bring your left knee to your chest while your right leg remains stretched on the floor and hold for five seconds.
- Lower your left leg and repeat with the other leg, bringing your right knee to your chest and holding for five seconds before lowering.
- Bend your left knee and try to touch your right shoulder, holding for five seconds before lowering. Repeat with your right knee trying to touch your left shoulder. Repeat each of these exercises about five times before each workout.

One-car accident kills driver
Published: Monday, September 1, 2003 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 1, 2003 at 12:47 a.m.
MOUNTAIN HOME -- A Brevard woman died Sunday in a one-car crash, N.C. Highway Patrol troopers said.
Judith Amanda Brotherton, 23, of 24 Reservoir Road, Brevard, died at the scene after the 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier she was driving collided with a tree, Trooper Jeff Cloud said. She was traveling north of Hendersonville on U.S. 25 near Holbert Road when the accident happened about 7:15 p.m., Trooper J.L. Brower said.
"The vehicle was passing another vehicle in a no-passing zone and then it met another vehicle traveling southbound and, of course, the Cavalier was in the wrong lane," Brower said. "As the Cavalier moved back into its lane of travel, the driver lost control and the vehicle continued off the road to the right and collided with a tree."
A male passenger in the car was transported to Pardee Hospital in Hendersonville and then airlifted by MAMA to Mission St. Joseph's Hospital in Asheville, Brower said. The passenger's name was not released pending notification of the man's relatives, Cloud said.
Brotherton was wearing her seat belt, Brower added. "The impact on the (driver's) door and the speed she was traveling, the seat belt doesn't always help," he said.

Running Time:
Director: John Leslie
Cast: Manuel Ferrara, Melanie Jagger, Ashley Long, Cowboy, Chris Mountain, Thomas Stone, Lidia, Steve Holmes (I), Julie Night, Tristan (I), Alexis Malone, Erik Everhard, Thrisa
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
Shot in John Leslie's stylized eye, this edition of Fresh Meat smokes.
Highly strokable twosomes and moresomes (though mostly the group stuff), are found throughout the disc, staffing out with rooftop Alexis Malone, Ashley Long and Erik Everhard, followed by sex in a theater with Melanie Jagger noshing on Tristan's cock under Manuel Ferrara's ever-increasing gaze. Of course two guys plus one girl, in the new mathematics of porn, equals d.p. and this equation is no aberration. Steve Holmes shows he's not a selfish guy and shares the love with Austin O'Riley and Julie Night in a poolside scene. Lidia's probably just gotten over a bad relationship and takes her stress out on her two male, er, companions, calling them pigs. The video's finale, with Thrisa and Cowboy, is the only twoway, but the heat and energy keep up with the others.
The disc's transfer is well done, and makes it worth any additional cost the DVD may have over the video.

Their Eyes Were Watching God (Paperback)
Staff Reviews
"This book is a guidebook to being human. Love, pain, abuse, redemption, death, hope -- Hurston captures all of them in pitch-perfect, lush dialect, and with heartbreaking, soul-growing empathy."— Katie P.
One of the most important works of twentieth-century American literature, Zora Neale Hurston's beloved 1937 classic, Their Eyes Were Watching God, is an enduring Southern love story sparkling with wit, beauty, and heartfelt wisdom. Told in the captivating voice of a woman who refuses to live in sorrow, bitterness, fear, or foolish romantic dreams, it is the story of fair-skinned, fiercely independent Janie Crawford, and her evolving selfhood through three marriages and a life marked by poverty, trials, and purpose. A true literary wonder, Hurston's masterwork remains as relevant and affecting today as when it was first published perhaps the most widely read and highly regarded novel in the entire canon of African American literature.
About the Author
Zora Neale Hurston, the author of Their Eyes Were Watching God, was deemed "one of the greatest writers of our time" by Toni Morrison. With the publication of Lies and Other Tall Tales, The Skull Talks Back, and What's the Hurry, Fox? new generations will be introduced to Hurston's legacy. She was born in Notasulga, Alabama, in 1891, and died in 1960.
Edwidge Danticat is the author of numerous critically accalimedbooks, including Breath, Eyes, Memory; Krik? Krak!, a National Book Award finalist, The Farming of Bones, an American Book Award winner; The Dew Breaker, a PEN/Faulkner Award finalist, and Brother, I'm Dying, winner of an NBCC award in Autobiography.

Jan 24, 2011A fine, if limited puzzle game. It has a story, something that few other games in the genre even attempt. It features nearly one hundred levels, all of which manage to be unique and challenging.
Jan 15, 2011Its unforgiving nature and inherent repetitiveness can deter some as well as make for a bit of tedium, but those looking for a good and long-lasting challenge should definitely pack their backpacks and head out to take on this puzzler.
Jan 11, 2011MumboJumbo delivers another impressive PC-to-DS translation with Puzzle Expedition: The Quest for the Tear of God. Anyone thinking there are not enough challenging puzzle titles on Nintendo's humble dual-screen portable should definitely track this down for some highly engaging block-moving adventure fun.

Here is problem. I have one torus defined in space by coordinates $(x, y, z)$ and it can be rotated in any direction. You can imagine it as torus total free in space. Torus is defined by two radius $(R, r)$ as well. This torus is ring torus. For example: location $(10, 10, 10)$ rotation $(20^\circ, 20^\circ, 20^\circ)$ $R=50$, $r=1$
1) How to test is given point $M(x, y)$ is inside that torus?
2) If I have another torus with same $(R, r)$ and it has two points that belong to both torus how I can calculate $x$, $y$, $z$ and rotation in space for the second torus? (I have all information for first torus and coordinates for two points)
3) This is a variation of the second question. If I have two tori with same $(R, r)$ and $x$, $y$, $z$ and rotations in space, how do I calculate intersection points (one or two points that is located on surface and belong to both torus - like on image). Of course if those points exist for given conditions.
The simplest answer is better. I need it for software.

ABOUT RAN: Since 1985, Rainforest Action Network (RAN) has campaigned for the forests, their inhabitants and the natural systems that sustain life. What makes RAN unique? We are a network of people that go to the roots of environmental problems. Whether it's logging companies defacing the Boreal forest or the banks that are funding the coal industry, our focus is on the corporations that cause the most harm to our environment and our communities. We run corporate campaigns that focus on pressuring and inspiring these global titans to pass policy solutions that transform business as usual. The RAN idea is that when people come together to directly challenge corporations we can achieve David and Goliath level impacts for our forests, our communities, and our future. We believe it because we've seen it.
The RAN network has moved dozens of the world's largest corporations. It was our network that pushed entertainment giant Disney and its 3,500 subsidiaries to change everything about the way they source and use paper. We moved the top eight banks in the country, including Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo, to cut funding for companies practicing mountaintop removal coal mining. We also inspired 11 of the top publishing companies in the country to stop buying paper from the endangered forests of Indonesia. And that was all within four years. Each time we run a campaign, we learn how to win bigger, smarter, faster, and we see the world change that much more. If that's the kind of work you want to be part of then keep reading.
ABOUT THE POSITION: RAN's Forest Program has succeeded in pushing leading global companies including Disney, Mars, Kellogg and General Mills to pass policies that eliminate deforestation, human rights abuses and climate change from their supply chains. The Forest Program is currently focused on transforming two industries that are the main drivers of rainforest destruction in Indonesia and Malaysia: palm oil and pulp and paper. Industrial plantation expansion for these two international commodities is driving iconic wildlife like the orangutan, tiger and rhino to the brink of extinction, while displacing Indigenous communities from their land and employing vast numbers of child laborers.
Rainforest Action Network is seeking a Communications Manager to help shape the communications strategy for our Forest program. We're looking for someone who's got great judgment, who's quick on their feet and ready to seize the opportunities that the news cycle provides, and who's excited about a campaign focused on the intersection between rainforest destruction, human and labor rights and climate change. The ideal candidate is fast but highly detail oriented, has strong writing skills with good instincts on campaign messaging, existing relationships with key reporters or a proven ability to build them, and a track record of taking projects to successful completion.
RESPONSIBILITIES: Working closely with RAN's Senior Communications Strategist, the Communications Manager will be responsible for leading communications for the Forest Program. The Communications Manager is primarily responsible for developing relationships with regional and national reporters and producers, pitching and placing stories, as well as serving as a campaign spokesperson. In addition, this position is tasked with overseeing the messaging strategy for the campaign and the editorial production process for communication materials, including print and web collateral, reports, opinion pieces, press releases, and related reporter outreach. In particular the job duties include:
- Work with campaign staff to develop and implement strategic, media-worthy campaign events. Crafting long-term strategic vehicles for promoting RAN and program messages and stories,
- Handle rapid response communication, developing messages, and writing op-eds, letters to the editor, talking points and other media materials;
- Train and coach staff and volunteers in media skills;
- Contribute to staff-wide strategy meetings, and stay current on developments in energy, finance and climate issues;
- Cultivate relationships with vendors and other strategic allies who can help in furthering promotion of the program;
- Spearhead and manage production of creative print and online collateral, including high-impact ads and clever web videos, shareable social media content, etc.;
- Conduct target- and market-specific media research as necessary to support campaign objectives;
- Write and copy-edit material for RAN publications, website and activist emails.
- Create press lists and keep media contact database current;
- 3 years prior experience as a media liaison or journalist involving media/press relations. Public relations experience a big plus -- a journalism background alone does not meet the qualifications for this job.
- 2 plus years experience with online promotion.
- Excellent oral and written communications skills that are adaptable to various offline and online media.
- Proven ability to build relationships with reporters (existing relationships with environment, climate, business reporters and bloggers highly desired).
- Fast – you enjoy working on a deadline and can turn things around quickly.
- Strong judgment on what kinds of tactics and campaigns will attract press attention.
- Good framing and messaging skills, you understand how to talk about a campaign or a media moment in the most advantageous terms.
- Proven ability to work with advertisers and designers to develop creative offline and online content.
- Solid copy-editing skills and familiarity with AP Style.
- Familiarity with media database technology, ideally Meltwater.
- Demonstrated ability to set priorities effectively in a heavy workload and coordinate complex projects.
- Demonstrated initiative, flexibility and creativity.
- A strong anti-oppression analysis and ability to work with Indigenous and affected communities.
- Passion for RAN's mission and the use of non-violent direct action as a strategy for change making.
- Knowledge of issues such as energy and climate, finance, and social change movements is preferred
The Communications Manager will be supervised by the Senior Communications Strategist.
Salary: Salary is competitive and benefits include health, vision & dental insurance, 4 weeks vacation, and a 401K-type program.
Please send resume and letter of interest to: firstname.lastname@example.com or
Rainforest Action Network
425 Bush St., Suite 300
fax 415.398.2732. No phone calls, please.
RAN values diversity, educates staff on issues including privilege and oppression, and integrates these values into all of our work. We are seeking candidates who have a commitment to engage in this process and work with us to create a just, inclusive, and sustainable work environment and world. RAN provides all people with equal employment and volunteer opportunities.

Freedom to Prosper
Economic liberty is key to societal well-being.
Since the fall of the Berlin Wall 20 years ago, the performance of market economies has been a powerful theme in assessing the health of societies around the world. But free enterprise has come under attack with the global economic crisis, the perceived threat of climate change, and a broader concern—most recently promoted by French President Nicolas Sarkozy—that growth alone does not indicate prosperity.
And at first glance, this year's Prosperity Index, published yesterday by the Legatum Institute, seems to provide evidence that capitalism is in trouble. The index aims to be a holistic measure of societal well-being, measuring not only things like economic freedom and property rights but also factors such as education, health, and good governance. The Institute found that four of the five most prosperous countries are democracies of Northern Europe: Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway—all well-known as high-tax, social welfare states. And while the U.S. and U.K. rank ninth and 12th respectively, France, Germany and Spain are not far behind. Fourteen of the top 20 countries are European. So does that mean capitalism needs to be reigned in as many of its critics consider? Far from it.
Consider the Wall Street Journal/Heritage Foundation Index of Economic Freedom, which measures the key factors in political and economic freedom, such as strength of democratic checks and balances, protection of property rights, enforcement of contracts, ease of starting a business, and of hiring and firing staff. Due to their strongly capitalist systems, Hong Kong and Singapore score very highly in the WSJ index. Their lower personal freedoms and scores on interpersonal trust and community engagement drag them down to 18th and 23rd respectively on the Prosperity Index. Similarly, the top performers of Northern Europe do not do as well in the WSJ Index as they do in the Prosperity Index, since their economic fundamentals are not stellar.
Many people—especially Americans—think of wealth as the basis of health and happiness, too. In other words, market economies with good economic fundamentals drive us to more fulfilling lives. Europeans often counter that a narrow pecuniary viewpoint gives a distorted picture of the human experience. Worse yet, it can lead to the tyranny of materialism. Who is right?
A statistical analysis of both indexes shows that economic prosperity and more holistic indicators overlap significantly, but not completely. It's no coincidence that the Prosperity Index calls its economic and democracy sub-indexes the drivers of wealth, and implicitly, prosperity. If one strips out the three main economic sub-indexes from the Prosperity Index, one can compile a ranking from the six remaining sub-indexes that have more to do with quality of life than economic growth. Using statistical techniques, one can test how much of the WSJ Index explains the Prosperity Index's broader well-being indicators. The relationship is statistically significant, with just under two thirds of Legatum's well-being indicators explained by economic and political freedom.
While free enterprise is not the only important factor explaining national differences in well-being, it probably does explain most of it. This means subverting the mechanisms of free enterprise would not just lead to lower economic growth but also lower social scores. The fact that the Nordic countries do so well in the Prosperity Index has largely to do with the fact that apart from their welfare policies, they also encourage entrepreneurship, free trade, and have stable monetary policies—even as they employ strong rhetoric against capitalism. Finland, Sweden and Denmark all score higher than Switzerland and nearly all of their southern European counterparts on their capacity to commercialize innovation, through factors such as business start-up procedures, business registration rates, and royalties on patents. All of this drives dynamic entrepreneurship, and spurs people to innovate and take risks, as they are more reassured that good ideas will pay off.
U.S. policy makers would do well to note this fact as they contemplate more "European" policies. And as the West contemplates ever tighter regulations on how and where money can be spent, lent and invested, their leaders should remember that economic and political liberty—while not the whole story—play a key role in prosperity. They are the engine driving much of what makes life worthwhile.
Mr. Streeter is a senior fellow of the Legatum Institute. Mr. Brooks is president of the American Enterprise Institute.
