The 414s
The 414s were a group of friends and computer hackers who broke into dozens of high-profile computer systems, including ones at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and Security Pacific Bank, in the early 1980s.[1]
They were eventually identified as six teenagers, taking their name after the area code of their hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Ranging in age from 16 to 22, they met as members of a local Explorer Scout post.[2] The 414s were investigated and identified by the FBI in 1983. There was widespread media coverage of them at the time,[1][3] and 17-year-old Neal Patrick, a student at Rufus King High School, emerged as spokesman and "instant celebrity" during the brief frenzy of interest, which included Patrick appearing on the September 5, 1983 cover of Newsweek.[4][5]
Patrick and the 414s were described as meeting the profile of computer hackers at the time: "Young, male, intelligent, highly motivated and energetic". Patrick claimed his only motivation was the challenge of getting into places he was not supposed to, and remaining there undetected. The systems they broke into usually were running Digital Equipment Corporation's VMS operating system.[2]
Many saw them as harmless pranksters, sort of a real life WarGames—a film that was released earlier that year. The 414s themselves were not entirely harmless, doing $1,500 worth of damage at Sloan-Kettering during their June 3, 1983[6] break-in by deleting billing records[3] (ostensibly to cover their tracks). Patrick and the 414s did cause real concern, as experts realized that others could duplicate their techniques and do real damage.[5] They used inexpensive personal computers and simple hacking techniques, such as using common or default passwords and exploiting well-known, but unpatched, security holes.
Chen Chui, an administrator who discovered the electronic break-in, left a message for the intruders and contacted the FBI, who placed wiretaps and eventually traced the calls back to Milwaukee. Gerald Wondra, 22 at the time, was the first visited by the FBI. Wondra lived with his mother in West Allis, a Milwaukee suburb. Wondra said he was "curious, he was just having fun".[2]
Most of the members of the 414s were not prosecuted, in various agreements to stop their activities and pay restitutions.[7] Wondra and another defendant each pleaded guilty on two counts of "making harassing telephone calls".[8]
As a result of news coverage, congressman Dan Glickman called for an investigation and new laws about computer hacking.[9] Neal Patrick testified before the U.S. House of Representatives on September 26, 1983 about the dangers of computer hacking, and six bills concerning computer crime were introduced in the House that year.[10]
A documentary called The 414s: The Original Teenage Hackers premiered in competition at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival and was picked up for distribution by CNN.[11] The film features present-day interviews with some of the original 414s as they reflect on the early days of hacking and the media attention that followed.[12][13]
Popular Culture[edit]
The AMC television show Halt and Catch Fire features the Newsweek cover story of the incident, which correctly displays "414 Hacker Neal Patrick" and in a subsequent episode called "The 214s" (a Dallas area code, where the show is set), a plot point includes a character attempting to recreate the break in.[14]

Auto insurance is a legal requirement for anyone who owns a car, in many states. Driving without auto insurance can result in severe legal penalties, such as fines or even, jail time. With this in mind, selecting the auto insurance that suits you can be hard. The tips in this article should be able to help you.
When you are purchasing car insurance you need to know and understand all the coverage types under your policy so that you know where you are covered and what exactly you are paying for. Things like uninsured motorist protection, for example, covers injuries that you get or the people in your car get. This is used when the other driver doesn't have insurance or if there was a hit-and-run.
Be sure you to research your potential insurance rate when you are shopping for a car. Insurance company agents can give you a list of cars which have the most economical rates. This will help you decide between a used car and a brand new car. Your insurance premiums will be a lot lower if you make sure your new car is one with an excellent safety rating.
Cheapest Midsize Cars to Insure in 2016
Reassess what kind of car you are driving. Your car insurance premiums may be based on what kind of car you are driving. Sportier cars or SUV's can carry higher premiums because they have more liability and they are generally more expensive to replace or fix when they have been damaged.
To get the most for your money when pricing automobile insurance, be sure to consider the extras that are included with some policies. You can save on towing costs with emergency roadside assistance that is included by some insurers. Others may offer discounts for good drivers or including more than one car on your policy.
As long as your auto insurance is in accordance with state law, you should not have to purchase a more comprehensive package. This is a great way to save money. If you are a safe driver in a relatively safe area, you can drop certain features like collision coverage and end up saving a bundle of money.
The make and model of the vehicle you buy will play a significant role in the amount your auto insurance will cost. If you can't be seen without a Lexus or a BMW, you'll pay high premiums. The most cost effective choice is to find a simple, yet safe, vehicle that you like.
Having multiple drivers on one insurance policy is a good way to save money, but having multiple drivers of one car is an even better way. Instead of opting for multiple automobiles, have your family make do with one car. Over the life of your policy, you can save hundreds of dollars by driving the same vehicle.
As stated before in this article, auto insurance is required by many states. Those who drive without auto insurance may face legal penalties, such as fines or jail. Choosing the right auto insurance for your needs may be hard, but with help from the tips in this article, it should be much easier to make that decision.

The Greater Western Sydney Giants, nicknamed the GWS Giants or just Giants, are an Australian rules football club which plays in the Australian Football League (AFL). Representing the Greater Western Sydney area and Canberra,[2][3] the club is based at the Tom Wills Oval in Sydney Olympic Park.[4][5] The team's primary home ground is Sydney Showground Stadium or Spotless Stadium at Sydney Olympic Park. Four games a year are played at Manuka Oval in Canberra as part of a deal with the government of the Australian Capital Territory. A reserve team, the Western Sydney University Giants (formerly UWS Giants), participates in the North East Australian Football League (NEAFL), as part of a partnership between the club and the university.[6] The reserve team was renamed in 2016 to reflect the rebranding of the university from University of Western Sydney.[7] The commercial club entity itself is a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of the AFL Commission.

Early proposals[edit]
The idea of an AFL team from western Sydney originated from the AFL's plans in 1999 to make the North Melbourne Football Club (known then simply as the Kangaroos) Sydney's second team. Following the momentum of the relocated Swans Grand Final appearance, the AFL had backed the move for North Melbourne, a club which had then previously gained market exposure by defeating the Swans in their first re-location Grand Final appearance. However the venture was unsuccessful and after several games a season North Melbourne never managed to draw crowds of over 15,000 at the Sydney Cricket Ground before finally leaving the market and experimenting with Canberra and later the Gold Coast.[citation needed]
The AFL's interest in the Western Sydney market appeared to be rekindled after the Sydney Swans' second, more successful Grand Final appearance in 2005, which started grassroots interest in the game in the highly populous region.[citation needed] In 2006, the AFL introduced the NSW Scholarships scheme, primarily aimed at juniors in West Sydney market to foster home grown talent and produce AFL players, a region which despite its large and growing population, had produced few professional Australian Footballers.[citation needed] The AFL was buoyed when it gained the support of then NSW premier Morris Iemma in late 2006, and the league became a partner in the Blacktown sporting facility in Rooty Hill, New South Wales. The facility was announced as the new home base for its team out of western Sydney in 2007; it announced that it had planned to grant its 18th licence in mid to late 2008. In January 2008, the AFL officially registered the business name Western Sydney Football Club Ltd with ASIC.[8][9]
In March 2008, it was revealed by the media that the AFL had considered a radical proposal to launch an Irish-dominated team in Sydney's western suburbs, which would perform before an international audience under the "Celtic" brand name. The "Sydney Celtics" plan was first put to AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou in early 2007 by Gaelic Players Association executive Donal O'Neill. It was said that the proposal originated at the International Rules series in Ireland in late 2006 when O'Neill put forward a plan to purchase an AFL licence in Sydney. However, the idea never materialised and the AFL has since stated that this was never a serious option.[10][11]
Establishment support[edit]
In March 2008, the AFL won the support of the league's 16 club presidents to establish an eighteenth side in Western Sydney.[12] The Western Sydney working party devising player rules and draft concessions for the second Sydney team met on 22 July 2008.
During 2008, the AFL Commission, whose agenda was to make a final decision on the Western Sydney Football Club, delayed it on multiple occasions. During the same year, in November, the AFL announced a A$100 million venture for a boutique stadium at the Sydney Showground, in the city's west.[13]
After a third meeting in Sydney in November, the AFL cited the Economic crisis of 2008 as being a key factor in the delays. While the AFL reiterated its stance on the Western Sydney licence, the commission admitted that the delay in the decision was due to financial remodeling of the bid in response to the crisis, and conceded that the debut of the team in the AFL may eventuate one or more seasons later than initially suggested. The expansion licence drew increasing media skepticism and public criticism, particularly in the light of a poor finals attendance in Sydney,[14] declining Sydney Swans attendances and memberships, the economic crisis and the Tasmanian AFL Bid which had gained significant momentum and public support during 2008. An Australian Senate enquiry into the Tasmanian AFL Bid concluded that Sydney had "insurmountable cultural barriers" to the establishment of a second AFL team.[15]
In May 2009, AIS/AFL Academy coach Alan McConnell was appointed as the club's high performance manager. McConnell was the first full-time appointment for GWS and his new role commenced on 1 July 2009. Kevin Sheedy was appointed inaugural coach in November 2009, signing a three-year contract.[16] His role commenced on 2 February 2010. His first senior assistant coach was former premiership coach of Port Adelaide, Mark Williams.[17] Williams left the role at the conclusion of 2012, in order to become a development coach [18] at the Richmond Tigers.
In November 2010 Skoda Australia was announced as the team's first major sponsor, signing a three-year contract which included naming rights to the team's home ground at the Sydney Showground.[19] SpotJobs became a sponsor in March 2015. They will feature on the back of the Giants' playing jerseys for home matches in Sydney and Canberra and on the front of the jerseys for all the team's away games.[20]
On October 4, 2012, Greater Western Sydney confirmed Leon Cameron as its new senior assistant coach for next year.

Player recruitment[edit]
Greater Western Sydney were provided with similar recruitment entitlements to the Gold Coast who had entered the AFL the year before the Giants. Key differences included that their access to an uncontracted player from each other AFL club was able to be acted on in either 2011 or 2012. The club was also allocated the ability to trade up to four selections in a "mini-draft" of players born between January and April 1994, that would otherwise not be eligible to be drafted until the 2012 AFL Draft. They also were given the first selection in each round of the 2011 AFL Draft as well as selections 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15 in the first round of the draft.[21]
The 2011 Trade Week saw the Giants take part in nine trades, involving two selections in the mini-draft as well trading away players who had previously nominated for the draft in return for additional early draft selections in the 2011 AFL Draft, that resulted in them holding the first five draft selections and 11 of the first 14.[22]
During the 2011 season, there was much speculation about which uncontracted players would sign with the Giants. In August 2011, Adelaide defender Phil Davis became the first player to announce that he would sign with the new club.[23] During 2011, four more AFL listed players announced they would be playing for the Giants in 2012 - Bulldogs midfielders Callan Ward and Sam Reid, Fremantle midfielder Rhys Palmer and Melbourne midfielder Tom Scully.
Former Melbourne Captain James McDonald, Brisbane veteran Luke Power and Port Adelaide ruckman Dean Brogan and midfielder Chad Cornes came out of retirement to play for the Giants in 2012.[24] McDonald and Power took on roles as playing Assistant Coaches.
Greater Western Sydney also recruited Israel Folau, a former rugby league player, from the Brisbane Broncos.

2012: Debut season[edit]
Before entering the AFL, the club played in the TAC Cup in 2010 and North East Australian Football League in 2011, as well as the 2011 and 2012 AFL pre-season tournaments, and the 2011 Foxtel Cup.[31][32]
The club played its first game in the Australian Football League on 24 March 2012 at ANZ Stadium in the inaugural Sydney Derby against the Sydney Swans which they lost by 63 points. On 12 May 2012 the club recorded its first win, defeating the Gold Coast Suns in a Round 7 match by 13.16 (94) to 9.13 (67). The only other victory of the team's inaugural season was a 34-point win over Port Adelaide.
The Giants were to have numerous big losses, including five by over 100 points, beating the previous record of four set by Fitzroy in their final season, the Brisbane Bears in 1991, St Kilda in 1985 and Footscray in 1982. They lost four other games by over eighty points and finished with a percentage of 46.17, the lowest by any club since St Kilda, in 1955, had a percentage of 45.4 and, before that, Melbourne in 1919 with 43.0.
2013: Second season[edit]
In their second season, Greater Western Sydney fared even worse than in their debut season. The Giants lost their first seventeen games, an ignominy suffered previously by by Fremantle in 2001, St. Kilda in 1910 and seven teams who finished with an 0–18 record. The most recent of these VFL/AFL teams losing all eighteen games was Fitzroy in 1964. Greater Western Sydney's combined percentage for their first two seasons was indeed the lowest by any club since St. Kilda in 1901 and 1902. Furthermore, the Giants again lost five games by 100 points or more, repeating an ignominy from the debut season.
In Round 19, they avoided becoming the fourteenth club in VFL and AFL history to finish a season winless, winning their solitary game for the season against Melbourne to snap a 21-game losing streak. Leading into the final round of the home and away season, Jeremy Cameron kicked 62 goals this season and was equal third in the race for the Coleman Medal, two goals behind leader Jarryd Roughead.
At the end of the season, coach Kevin Sheedy stood aside for Leon Cameron, who had been assistant to Sheedy in 2013.[33] On Thursday 19 December 2013, it was announced that Sheedy had been appointed to the club's board. Club Chairman, Tony Shepherd, highlighted Sheedy's importance when he said, "In many ways Kevin Sheedy is the father of the Giants. He's been here from the start and has helped build the Giants."[34][35]
2014: Third season[edit]
Greater Western Sydney started their third season impressively winning two of their first three games, including beating their much-fancied cross-town rivals, the Sydney Swans 15.9 99 to 9.13 67 in their first round encounter at Spotless Stadium.[36] On 13 May 2014, Greater Western Sydney midfielder Toby Greene was charged with a number of offences including assault with a dangerous weapon and intentionally causing serious injury over an alleged assault in a Melbourne licensed venue the previous night.[37]
2015: Fourth Season[edit]
Before the start of the 2015 AFL Season, the Giants managed to sign Ryan Griffen in addition to re-signing Jeremy Cameron. The club overall had a fairly successful season, finishing 11th with 11 Wins and 11 Losses, with premier Hawthorn one of their victories.
Club symbols[edit]
On 16 November 2010, Greater Western Sydney announced their club guernseys and their nickname of the "Giants".[38]
The team colours are orange, charcoal and white, with the club unveiling two prospective home jumpers for fans to be decided on for the inaugural 2012 season. One was orange with a large, stylised charcoal "G" in the centre and charcoal side panels on the sides, with the other featuring an orange yoke in the top half and a white "G" wrapped around charcoal colours in the bottom half. The colour of the team's shorts is charcoal and their socks are orange with charcoal fold-downs. During the 2011 season a clash guernsey was unveiled. The jumper has a light grey background with a charcoal rendition of the home jumper's G on the chest. This was altered in the 2012 season for a white jumper with charcoal collar and cuffs, charcoal "G" symbol in the centre and orange and charcoal stylised shoulder pads.
The clash guernsey changed in 2014, to a white top with a G that was slightly smaller than the home jumper. Included on the guernsey was also a large diagonal section of charcoal from the players left cuff down towards the centre of the bottom hem. This is repeated on the back, with the orange "G" being replaced with an orange line next to the charcoal section. The guernsey featured charcoal cuffs, numbers and collar.[39]
The team motto is Think Big. Live Big. Play Big. Their mascot G-Man was unveiled on 18 February 2012 before the team took the ground for their first NAB Cup match of 2012.
The team song There's A Big Big Sound was first unveiled to the foundation members and 2012 members on 16 February 2012 via a phone call, the following day the team song was released to the public. The song was written and produced by award-winning Australian artist Harry Angus of Australian band The Cat Empire.[40]
Supporter base[edit]
|Average home crowd
|Finishing position
The Giants' training ground is located at Sydney Olympic Park, and was named Tom Wills Oval in 2013 in honour of Australian football pioneer Tom Wills, who was born in New South Wales and has family connections to Western Sydney.[44]
The Giants are expected to play four games a year at Manuka Oval (three regular season, one preseason) for the first 10 years after signing a deal with the ACT Government worth $23 million. A Canberra logo will be incorporated on its guernsey, with a separate Canberra guernsey being used for games at Manuka. The Giants also played in a special Guernsey as part of the centenary of Canberra celebrations, stating that the team is "part of the Canberra community".[3] GWS-ACT Academy is also intended to be created, with the territory also gaining representation on the club's board.[45][46]

The Declaration of Interdependence
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Okay, the Declaration of Interdependence sounds a lot like the Declaration of Independence.
By saying that it is a self-evident that all humans are created equal and that our inalienable rights include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, our Founding Fathers were telling us that we are all in this together, that we are interdependent, that we have a moral duty to protect these inalienable rights for all humans. President Lincoln, perhaps above all others, was instrumental in making clear that the second sentence of the Declaration was "a moral standard for which the United States should strive," as Wikipedia puts it.
The double appeal to "Nature" — including the explicit appeal to "the laws of Nature" in the first sentence — is particularly salient. For masters of rhetoric like the authors of the Declaration, a repeated word, especially in an opening sentence, is repeated for the singular purpose of drawing attention to it (see "Why scientists aren't more persuasive, Part 1").
Yes, the phrase "laws of nature" meant something different to Jefferson than it does to us (see here). But as a living document, and as a modern Declaration of Interdependence, the words have grown in meaning.
It is the laws of Nature, studied and enumerated by scientists, that make clear we are poised to render those unalienable rights all but unattainable for billions of humans on our current path of unrestricted greenhouse gas emissions. It is the laws of Nature that make clear Americans can't achieve sustainable prosperity if the rest of the world doesn't, and vice versa.
Ironically — or perhaps intentionally — the toughest inalienable right to maintain is "the pursuit of happiness." Certainly, the catastrophic global warming we know we face (thanks to our understanding of the laws of nature) threatens life and liberty (see "Memorial Day, 2029").
But if we keep listening to the deniers and delayers, if we fail to sharply reverse our current emissions path nationally and globally, then we are headed towards 5°C (9°F) planetary warming this century and 900+ ppm — with sea level rise of 5 feet or higher, rising 1 to 2 inches a year or more for centuries, the U.S. Southwest and one third of the Earth's habited land a permanent Dust Bowl, half or more species extinct, and much of the ocean a hot, acidic dead zone (see "An introduction to global warming impacts: Hell and High Water").
Not bloody many people will be pursuing "happiness" under those conditions. They will be desperately trying to avoid misery, when they aren't cursing our names for betraying our moral values.
If we don't aggressively embrace the clean energy transition starting immediately with the climate bill in front of Congress — and help lead the entire world to a similar transition — then the Ponzi scheme we call the global economy will probably be in some stage of obvious collapse by our 250th anniversary, July 4, 2026.
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
And so "happiness" is repeated also, underscoring its importance to the Founders. "Life" and "Liberty" are really the very minimum we owe our fellow humans. We have a moral obligation to work toward freedom from want and care for all.
The party of Lincoln has, tragically, abandoned the values embraced and articulated by its greatest thinker and rhetorician — and those embraced and articulated by our Founders in the Declaration. When is the last time a major conservative politician ever talked about "a decent respect to the opinions of mankind" except to mock the entire notion (see Gingrich sums up GOP ethos: "I am not a citizen of the world! I think the entire concept is intellectual nonsense and stunningly dangerous"). That is one reason why the parting is shrinking, one reason why Americans chose to "alter or abolish" conservative rule of the U.S. government.
We live in unique times. We must all hang together or we will surely all hang separately.
Happy Interdependence Day Century!
15 Responses to The Declaration of Interdependence
And a Happy Fourth of July to all! I am putting the apocalypse aside for the day, to have a barbeque on the dock in Jersey City, and then sail around the Harbor and watch all the fireworks from every direction. Rumor is Obama will be there for the opening of Lady Liberty's crown. Yay!
Let's not forget the Preamble to the Constitution – authored shortly after the Declaration of Independence – and also a nice bit of text worth parsing carefully. The key phrase – "to ourselves and our Posterity" to me means our Constitution and our nation is meant for our children and grandchildren – our posterity is all those in the future.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
There is some debate about how strong these words should apply in constitutional law.
from http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/preamble/
Although the preamble is not a source of power for any department of the Federal Government, 1 the Supreme Court has often referred to it as evidence of the origin, scope, and purpose of the Constitution. 2 "Its true office," wrote Joseph Story in his COMMENTARIES, "is to expound the nature and extent and application of the powers actually conferred by the Constitution, and not substantively to create them. For example, the preamble declares one object to be, 'to provide for the common defense.' No one can doubt that this does not enlarge the powers of Congress to pass any measures which they deem useful for the common defence. But suppose the terms of a given power admit of two constructions, the one more restrictive, the other more liberal, and each of them is consistent with the words, but is, and ought to be, governed by the intent of the power; if one could promote and the other defeat the common defence, ought not the former, upon the soundest principles of interpretation, to be adopted?"
Nice day for either quiet reflection, or percussive celebration.
Thanks Joe for your wonderful forum.
Hear, hear! Jefferson no doubt would approve of such an expansive reading.
And just nice to see the reprint of the Declaration. Our family reads it every year out loud on the Fourth – although with the new, smaller NYTimes it's darn near impossible….
(Must add that it seems to me today's GOP have more in common with the Royalists.)
Joe – Let's not confuse Lincoln, the first Republican president with Jefferson, certainly not a Republican, when you accuse today's conservatives of not seeking "a decent respect to the opinions of mankind."
[JR: Yes, I can see how my two sentences might create that confusion. I'll see if I can fix that.]
Otherwise your "Declaration of Interdependence" is a wonderful read on the Fourth of July!
Well, they call themselves conservatives, but they are not. Radical reactionaries is a bit closer.
"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government"
This is clearly stating that the people has the right to overtrown a reactionary goverment by any means, including , if necessary, a popular REVOLUTION.
That is exactly the thing Americans did in 1776, the French in 1789, the Europeans in 1848 and again in 1918 and Russians in 1917 (sadly the 1948 and 1918 revolutions were crushed and the Russian Revolution was betrayed by her own leaders who become the new dictators of the new state). All of them overtrown the socio-economic model ( monarchic feudalism) that was the main obstacle to the People's Rights and People's prosperity.
The point is that if we do not do a revolution to stop our present leaders and our present socio-economic system (capitalism= massive exploitation of the People and Nature by a group of people avid of richness) destroying our planet, then Mother Nature will rebel against all of us (exploiters and expoited alike) , and then we will join the dinosaurs and all the other extinct species.
Only sorta on topic, "Brave new power for the world":
IFR would be nice if it works. Shoulda kept at it.
The fireworks at Don's are supposed to start at 9:30. We're gonna watch them from our back porch. It ain't the best view, but it will do.
It's late in the day, I know, but I sincerely hope all you folk had a good celebration.
Hi Joe , off topic but just read this its suppose to come up at the big G-8 next week http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/jul/03/land-grabbing-food-environment
would love to hear your follow-up on this!
KN – Thanks for the link. It's easy to see where it's all heading. Countries like the US were already outsourcing their emissions by manufacturing in China and purchasing international offsets. Now they are "invading" foreign coutries through the wonders of the global market, and to use the land for what? Probably to grow biofuel while the locals starve.
No-one seems to want global government. Most are even against the UN having any teeth. But the reality is that the human race has no means to tackle global problems in any sort of equitable way while we are all partitioned into competing countries. Worse still, the real actors are global corporations who just follow the money and ignore national boundaries.
Climate change can ONLY be solved by reaching equitable agreement. Any other approach leaves parties thinking they are getting the short end of the stick and they won't join in.
This misery is going to multiply within the next decade. Heart wrenching….
Devastation in Zambia as climate change brings early flooding
Mukelabai, 25, and her family packed all the belongings they could into a canoe and paddled 24km to safety. After four months they came back to find the roof of their home fallen in and the mudbrick walls crumbling away. She added: "We are having to start again. There is no food so we are not eating anything. My husband has no job. I worry about the children."
Elsewhere, at Soola, the settlement resembled even more closely a desolate refugee camp, with shelters fabricated from thatch and reeds and draped with dirty clothes and blankets. Remnants of sweet potato tubers were scattered on the ground. An area where homes used to be was now a muddy wasteland save for a single door, standing like the freak survivor of a shockwave that vaporised everything else.
Masela Kababa, 30, a mother of three young children, said: "There isn't enough food to feed the children. They all have aching joints and eye infections. There's nothing we can do."
She was pessimistic. "This problem is here to stay. I think it will keep happening to the end of time."
James Thomson (or whatever iteration that sneaks through the moderation) –
You raise important questions, as to how best are we going to survive given the future climate changes.
My significant other (being of militaristic bent) seems to be convinced that AMERICA will keep out the hoards of cannibalistic starving refugees from rising seas and agricultural drought-fueled famine from inundating our borders, and we'll just be okay! The Marines will take care of us, like magic!
Whereas I don't think that will be sufficient, especially in a world where unstable governments have armies and nuclear weapons at their disposal. I think mitigating rising seas will require international cooperation.
A world government seems unlikely. But there must be some sort of universal agreement since everyone on the planet is impacted by everyone else.
and paulm
it is heart breaking.
Joseph, your work is of historic proportions and importance. Thank you.

Tell me where to put bike racks in the Waterfront
edmonds59 #
Uggh, hall monitors.
Benzo #
Man, would I love a path that took me straight under the homestead grays bridge and connected to the street that runs behind the giant strip of stores and connected back up with the trail before the rankin bridge. That would be awesome.
I guess W bridge St, cross amity, swing behind the strip isn't a terrible route If I wanted to do that, but I'm sure a trail could be done. It would help if there was a traffic light at w bridge st to make it easier to cross 4 lanes of two way traffic.
Ahlir #
The current state of things, coming from W Bridge, is not too bad. Swing around Macy's and continue. The lights at Amity and the street that fronts the mall are pretty benign. Cross and go across a not-very-busy parking lot and you're there.
Now, lights at the other end (past the Lowe's) would really be nice.
cowchip #
I think the bike lane should continue all the way through the waterfront ,8th ave has room too , I never use the MUP . i stay in the right lane and cut behind costco through gas pump
Benzo #
I find the MUP behind the restaurants a nice option, but there are lots of pedestrians, the path is not paved and gets soft/puddly in wet weather and winter. This was especially bad when some heavy machinery was driven on the path this winter/spring and created deep impressions in the crushed limestone surface. This is fine on a cross bike or hybrid with fatter tires, but sucks on a road bike with skinny tires.
I'm much more apt to take the paved way, which I tend to do via waterfront dr, but the highway like orientation of that street is a real turn off. Wish there was a better connector around the waterfront.
Marko82 #
Not sure why, but there was a survey crew measuring the road frontage in front of Costco earlier today. I also tempted the rath of the hall-monitor by riding through the gas pump area – the attendant didnt say anything as I waved and went past.
Vannevar #
thanks Marko I appreciate it. Interesting post on FB from the Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area regarding the PumpHouse (which they own) (and I don't think this is a problem)
"Due to the increased traffic at the Pump House and the need to be able to use our space for events, tours, the market, etc. we will be installing gates on the lot sometime within the next few weeks. The lot will be open for trail parking as usual the majority of the time, we will however be reserving the right to close the gates/lot for events. We appreciate your help in making the public aware of these changes."
Marko82 #
"After the newest segment of the Great Allegheny Passage opened nearby in summer 2013, Joe Ducar noticed some trail users were making their way to explore the heart of Homestead."

My comment on http://www.post-gazette.com/local/south/2014/10/09/Bicyclists-welcome-in-Mon-Valley-boroughs/stories/201410090060
I enjoy bicycling too, so several years ago I joined the Steel Valley Trail Council, the volunteer organization that manages the bike trails along the Mon River in this area. Working with the Waterfront, "The Avenues", and others on spur trails and bike racks, etc, is something we've been active in. We would love to get more people who live in Homestead and nearby communities involved in the trail. Anyone interested in the trail is invited to attend our monthly meetings – see steelvalleytrail.org, or email firstname.lastname@example.com
jonawebb #
The interview with the Marty Sweeney is awfully positive for 50 bike racks spread over a mile of real estate. I wonder what the ratio is of bike parking versus car parking — 1000:1?
Mikhail #
There are certain places that bicyclists prefer to another and lot of recreational bikers do not care locks with them. It would be nice if some places could provide U-Lock rent for small fees like OTB does. I don't know if any liability is involved… This is on one hand
On other hand, if there is concern that u-locks are going to be stolen on their own — may be real good hardened chain attached to a rack with lock could solve the problem.
Ahlir #
I like the system they have for shopping carts in Europe: They're all chained together in the lot. You drop in a euro and one unlocks. Kind of like lockers in the bus or train stations over here.
Presumably the bike parking would be somewhat supervised (e.g. just outside a café.)
cowchip #
My reply is put them everywhere the budget allows and try to provide a couple of sheltered bike parking spots and or a pavilion and a picnic table just for cyclist , was chased out of Costco gas pumps when it started to rain and I needed cover . Please
JaySherman5000 #
I took a group of colleagues out for a ride yesterday that started and ended at the Waterfront. Afterwards, we got lunch at Gran Agave, but there was only a single swerve rack available in front of the restaurant. We ended up securing 3 or four bikes to it by just locking bike-on-bike after the first two were locked to the rack.
In between the Improv and Gran Agave, there are a couple of useless patches of grass that look like the perfect place for adding bike corrals. This is right in front of the side-entrance to Macy's, across from Yokoso. It would be a nice, out of the way spot to provide parking for lots of bikes without impact to motor vehicle parking or pedestrian traffic. Of course, I'm not opposed to eliminating some of the motor vehicle parking to make room for bike racks, but at least this idea would be immune to the "but where will I park my car?!?" hysteria.
jonawebb #
Not to mention the various covered areas around the theater building. The west side has a couple of spaces on each side of the entrance that would be perfect for a bike corral.
Jacob McCrea #
This is slightly off topic but not worth a new thread:
Here is a bike rack I just finished fabricating for an old friend. It's going in at his new bar and restaurant in Homestead, across the tracks from the Waterfront, at 224 E. 8th Avenue (Route 837). The place is called Dorothy 6 (named after an old blast furnace in Homestead) and is well worth a trip to check it out. Anyone who enjoys seeing a formerly vacant building rehabilitated and put to productive use would enjoy seeing what has been done there. More importantly, 20 good beers are on tap and the food is quite good.
I should finish painting the rack today and have it installed by the weekend. Hopefully this upload works.

"Here's my response from The Iggle:
Look what I just saw at the Waterfront Iggle!
jonawebb #
Congratulations, RR!
StuInMcCandless #
Just to verify, it took them about a month, or a year and a month, to respond to your request? Regardless, the response is positive! Hooray! And thank you!
RustyRed #
I'd requested they install some last June and only just now happened to notice them, I have no idea how long they've been there because my last few shopping trips didn't take me into or past Giant Eagle.
chrishent #
Awesome! Congrats, Red!
Related, I requested a rack for the North Side Giant Eagle a few months ago. Given the location, it seemed like a no-brainer. Nothing yet as of my last visit a few weeks ago…
StuInMcCandless #
@chrishent – Maybe we need a ride of about 6 to 10 cyclists to roll over there and claim a parking space. Then we march in and ask a manager to come out, take a look at it with us, and explain our case.
chrishent #
Eh @stu, I doubt that would work. I don't think they would care. Even if it had adequate bike parking, this place gets my vote for Worst Giant Eagle in Pittsburgh.
RustyRed #
The responsiveness depends greatly on whether or not the GE is corporate-owned or owned independently as a franchise.
paulheckbert #
By the way, Sara Petyk (@sarapgh2) and Lois Liberman, volunteering for the Steel Valley Trail Council, have been talking to Giant Eagle in the Waterfront about bicycle parking for over a year. But the lobbying from @RustyRed is much appreciated.
Benzo #
Nice to see new racks at the waterfront GE and homestead. Having good racks outside dorthoy 6 is really cool. I thought that was a nice spot when I stopped there last time.
Wondering if the new voodoo brewery is going to install some racks too?

The internet is full of nursing cover tutorials, but I could never find a pattern big enough to make me feel completely covered and comfortable. That's why I created this plus size breastfeeding cover tutorial. It's perfect for women who want to nurse on one side and pump on the other or anyone who feels they need a little more coverage than you get from the standard nursing covers.
Materials You Need
- 1 ¼ Yards of fabric for the front panel
- 1 ¼ Yards of fabric for the back panel
- 17 Inches of boning (1/2 inch size)
- Two wash cloths
- 1 package of 1.25 inch D-Rings
- Thread to match your fabric
Note: Try to choose fabric that is lightweight for your breastfeeding cover so that your baby does not get too hot while you are nursing. That means flannel is not a good option; cotton is better. Additionally, you do not have to add the back panel if you are worried it would make the cover too hot. Boning can be bought by the yard at most fabric stores. If you can't find it, you can get a 12-yard pack of boning from Amazon, but you really only need 1/2 a yard.
Cut Out Your Fabric
Cut out the following pieces from the fabric you have for the front panel of the cover:
- 1 piece of 3 x 10 inches
- 1 piece of 3 x 30 inches
- 1 piece of 44 x 32 inches
Cut out the following pieces from the fabric you have for the back panel of the cover:
- 1 piece of 44 x 32 inches
Sewing Instructions
This tutorial uses ¼ inch seams unless otherwise noted. Topstitching should be done close to the edge. Before you begin, thread your machine with thread that matches your fabric and preshrink your fabric if it is cotton.
Step 1
Start by sewing your wash cloths onto the fabric you have for the back panel of your nursing cover. Position the wash cloths along the bottom corners on the right side of the fabric, leaving 1 inch margins from both edges. Then topstitch all the way around the wash cloths.
Note: The wash cloths are useful for wiping baby's mouth after nursing. However, you can skip this step if you don't want to add them. Additionally, some people like to leave an open seam at the top of the wash cloths to create pockets for pacifiers or nursing pads.
Step 2
Now you're going to assemble the straps for your nursing cover. Get the small piece of fabric that is 3 x 10 inches and fold it in half longwise with right sides together. Stitch it shut along the long edge.
Step 3
Get the piece of fabric that is 3 x 30 inches and fold it in half longwise with right sides together. Stitch it shut along the long edge, but sew a slight curve at the end so that you strap comes to a point (See picture in step 2).
Step 4
Trim along the edge of the curve on the long strap. Then, turn both straps right side out.
Note: Sewing a curve along the end of the long strap creates a point when you turn the tube right side out. If you're nervous about this step, you can just sew the strap straight to make a square and leave one side of the tube open for turning.
Step 5
Sew the front panel of your nursing cover to the back panel with wrong sides together. Sew all the way around both edges. Use as small of a seam allowance as you can.
Note: You can skip this step if you decided not to use a back panel.
Step 6
Do all of your ironing at this time.
Iron both straps so that your seams are in the middle. Your long strap should come to a point on one side.
Next, iron your large panel. Turn the edges up ¼ inch and iron all the way around.
Then, turn them up an additional ¾ to 1 inch and iron all the way around. This creates the crease marks you will use to sew. I like to pin as I go, but some types of fabric don't need that.
Step 7
Get your little strap and feed both D-Rings through it until they are in the middle. Then, fold the strap in half (hiding your original seam) and sew a straight line just underneath the D-Rings. Try to get as close to the D-Rings as you can. If you're having trouble, you can try attaching your zipper foot to your sewing machine. It's OK, if there is a little wiggle space to them, though.
After the D-Rings are attached, sew down both sides of the little strap.
Step 8
Get the long strap of your nursing cover and topstitch all the way around the edges.
Step 9
Pin the straps under the fold at the top of the nursing cover on the back panel. Position them 12 inches in from both sides. Most people like to put the strap with D-Rings on the left side, but people who are left handed like it on the right.
Step 10
Topstitch all the way around the big panel of your nursing cover, following the edge of your iron marks to create a finished seam. Leave a small opening at the top between the two straps to insert the boning.
Step 11
Insert the boning so that it pulls the fabric away from you while wearing the nursing cover. Then, stitch the seam closed.
Congratulations, you're finished!
I like this plus size breastfeeding cover pattern because when my baby was in the NICU, I was able to pump on both sides while still being completely covered. Make a couple nursing covers; you'll want a spare while the other is in the wash.
Feel free to share this sewing tutorial with others and use it to create nursing covers for your friends or to sell.

When loading two CSS files via an include I am only seeing one of them being used. The other isn't being included and I don't know why.
I have a standard header file which is included on all of the site's pages.
Example below:
<link href="css/jquery-ui.css" type="text/css" />
<link href="css/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
This is of course a cut down version of the header for simplification. As you can see both CSS files are within the css directory. but only the main CSS file is being recognised.

Exactly what I wanted
By Babs
from Seattle,WA
I bought this Veterans Flag Display Case for my Mom who's husband, a WWII veteran, recently passed away. She had bought one like it for me when my husband, a Vietnam veteran, passed away several years ago. It was very much like the one she bought me and she loves it. She is able to use it to display his flag in the den he loved to do his reading in. She enjoys spending time in there remembering the wonderful man he was.

I priced flag displays and decided to go with a lower priced item at Miles Kimball. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the item and the fact that they engraved the plate also. All for a great price. Couldn't be more happy with this product.
A Great Honor to My Father
By My Father's Daughter
from Annapolis, Maryland
I ordered this case for my father's burial flag shortly after his burial. When it came, I immediately placed the flag in it and the name plate on it. Everything was just as I hoped. On the right side of the case, I put my father's army picture ID and the other side, I put the army medal. It's beautiful and the best way to honor my father who was proud to serve his country in WWII.

More from the endless vaults of Dr. Dre, which also contain mythical albums from Rakim, Eve, Last Emperor, Hittman, King Tee, and more. YourAudioFix leaked these Stat Quo Statlanta gems, left over from the Shady / Aftermath recording sessions. Both tracks feature rhymes from Em, with "Classic Shit" taking some shots at some 2003-era competitors. And yes, even the shit they stick in the vaults is better than 99% of what you rappers pass off for hip-hop.
Listen: Stat Quo + Eminem – "Classic Shit" (prod. Dr. Dre)

Visiting Spring Green in June 2016. Had breakfast at the Spring Green General Store. Ever one enjoyed what they ordered and would go back to eat and shop any time. Had great clothes! Botique style.
We had breakfast at the general store for the first time about a month ago. You order your food from the counter and they bring it to you. You get your own coffee. We loved it. The food was great. I am sorry I didn't get the quiche, but that will soon be remedied. My wife, the pancake expert, said...
My wife and were celebrating our wedding anniversary with an overnighter to the Madison area. We decided to drive out to Spring Green, one of our favorite spots to do a little shopping and stop at the General Store, because my wife had read that they were having a bluegrass jam session that afternoon.
It's a neat old-timey place with...
If you are passing through town, or needing breakfast/lunch before visiting Frank L. Wright/APT, this is a little gem worth checking out. Don't let the rickety steps fool you- there is high quality stuff within.
The menu features some tasty organic and vegan options, but also great sausage and eggs. Pancakes are delicious. Nice sandwiches/quiche at lunch. Outdoor seating available,...
This is a very unique restaurant and gift shop. It is extremely casual. You place your order at the counter from a relatively limited menu, but there are always specials. Food for the most part is very good especially the chili which is outstanding.
This adorable shop has an eclectic array of goodies for those of us who love to shop everywhere we go! So fun and cute.
Good food. Not the most friendly with young children. I was told to close the door. (I was the last in our group to enter and did not know they were using the main door in addition to the screen door.) There are a lot of little signs telling you what to do.
...is talking about an entirely different town and store. I've lived in S.G. since 1998 (with my husband and son) and frequent the General store all of the time. My husband and I play music occasionally there as well. We love the place! It's actually one of the reasons we moved to Spring Green. We took the leap and are...
This small restaurant occupies half of store that sells giftware, toys, candy, snacks, cheese sodas and many other things. It is located in a small town of 1625 residents off small highway Rt 23. . Not knowing what to expect we ordered lunch here;' a chicken salad sandwich and a quiche w salad. Both were surprisingly good; tasty, made with...
You are on vacation. Relax and enjoy a different place and a different pace. I always have either breakfast or lunch here when in the area so I can read, people watch, and just slow down. It is fun to take several hours to browse the shops across the street as well.

Fool's Gold, G-Technology and Flavor Group: A Branding Partnership That Literally Rocks the House
On August 3, DJ/producer A-Trak did what he does best at his label's recently opened Fool's Gold retail store in Brooklyn, New York. He was rocking the 40 kids crammed into the small space with tracks like Duck Sauce's "Big Bad Wolf" and Rogerseventytwo's disco house jam "Take Me Higher" (see videos below). Amidst all the dancers, were cameras and live-streaming equipment from the event's sponsor, G-Technology, for their new external storage device, G-Connect.
People Crammed into the Fool's Gold store for A-Trak's Live Set - August 3 (Photo: Emmanuelle Saliba)
"Tight Space" is a three-part live series that kicked off with a DJ set by Dave 1 - half of the electrofunk duo Chromeo- on July 20 and will close with Atlanta native Treasure Fingers on August 17. These shows, which are part of a larger streaming web series, are the result of a partnership between the independent dance label Fool's Gold and G-Technology, a premium external data storage device by Hitachi.
A-Trak, co-founder of Fool's Gold Records, told Billboard.biz that he has used G-Drives in the past and, as satisfied customers, didn't hesitate to collaborate with the company. "DJs and musicians store files every day -- we're always dealing with file management," A-Trak said. "When you add to that G-Connect's wireless capabilities, it's a very attractive product."
The newest product, G-Connect is a wireless storage solution for the iPad and iPhone -- a 500Gb hardrive that allows users to put all their music and content in one location and stream from it. It supports up to five SD or three HD video streams simultaneously. Additionally, G-Connect lets you share content and Internet access with five or more friends.
Seeking the right audience for their product, G-Technology turned to the Flavor Group Creative Agency, a firm committed to "bridging digital and physical," according to founder and CEO Prem Kumta.
In the past, Flavor Group has designed campaigns for companies such as Red Bull, Scion and Ubisoft. They recently finished a worldwide campaign for SanDisk with Tiesto which included exclusive tracks consumer received upon a product purchase.
"We integrate music partnerships with social media interactions with live events," Kumta explained. "That is our holy grail of modern marketing." And that's exactly what Flavor Group intended for G-Connect with its sponsoring of live performance by popular dance music artists. The campaign requires fans to "like" the G-Technology Facebook page to gain access to the exclusive live stream (Facebook.com/GTechnology).
Flavor Group often tends to work with electronic dance artists and did so even before the official launch of their company in 2004. Kumta said that approach works for them both as dance-music fans and as business people.
"From a brand side, it's less about a genre and more about what's valid for the brand. [Dance music] is valid in general when you're talking about a young consumer demographic from teenager to 30," Kumta said. "It's a numbers game, I think there are 200 million people involved with this culture. On a global scale it's reached a certain height of activity. It's an undeniable thing."
"We are incorporating the music into the product with the campaign and with compelling content which will motivate people to get involved and 'like' the page" says Kumta. In a matter of three weeks, the G-Tech Facebook page went from having approximately 1,100 likes to 13,000. "If you have a brand that's trying to reach the target, you need to know how to effectively engage a consumer at the right event," says Kumta.
The "Tight Space" live-streaming series brings the Fool's Gold audience to G-Technology's page, giving the brand a push. "Fool's Gold has always kept a very high standard of quality, so when we align ourselves with a brand like this, it means we vouch for them," A-Trak says.
And what is Fool's Gold getting from this alliance? "We're getting exposure through their channels - and, as you can imagine, there's some financial compensation involved too," he says. "On a broader level, I think it looks good for us to be working with a respected brand like G-Technology."
The DJ also emphasized the fact that Flavor Group "not only respects Fool's Gold integrity, but they understand that it's a key part of what we bring to the table and why we've been able to build a loyal following with our fans." The responses to the collaboration have been positive so far. "We haven't seen any sellout accusations or any puzzled reactions of any kind," explains A-Trak.

In addition, this partnership between Fool's Gold and G-Technology demonstrates how changes in the record industry are opening up new sponsorship approaches and opportunities. "This collaboration is an example of where the record business is going," says A-Trak. "It's exciting to be a part of the change."
Since music sales are no longer the only source of revenue, many artists are more concerned about developing their brand. For Kumta as well, these sorts of collaborations are the future of the industry.
"As time goes on, less and less people are going to buy music. Music is a function to build their brand, which is becoming a more complicated model of touring, merchandising, partnerships and endorsement deals. It's going to change significantly."
The Fool's Gold store's next live series features Treasure Fingers and is set for this Wednesday August 17 at 4 p.m. E.T.

Tuesday's letters: Out of touch
Published: Tuesday, June 8, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 7, 2010 at 7:08 p.m.
To The Editor: The byline describes our president perfectly last to take action but first to take credit. His press conference on the Gulf oil spill is a perfect example. When it looked like a solution was eminent, he tried to convince America that his government had been in charge of controlling the disaster since it happened. In other words, his government fixed the problem.
Have I been dreaming that our president has repeatedly said BP created the problem, and BP will fix it. He also said in so many words that the problem was caused by a scandalously close relationship between Big Oil and government regulators.
Since he is taking credit for fixing the disaster, does anyone think he will accept responsibility for this so-called collusion between his government and Big Oil or do you think he will say Bush hired these government workers and its his fault?
His vacation to Chicago for Memorial Day didnt help matters. Yes, he was scheduled to conduct a tribute at a national cemetery, but as the commander in chief during a time of war, he needed to be at Arlington.
A Democratic consultant said, Hes never really out of touch with whats happening. Well, Im no political consultant, but I think he has been out of touch since Jan. 20, 2009.
Bill Burnette
Race relations
To The Editor: For four days, CNN entertained us with a pilot study on race relations during Anderson Cooper 360. A row of puppets, ranging in color from white to black, was placed in front of young children. A female voice asked the children the following questions:
u What child is the good child?
u What child is the bad (the dumb, the smart, etc.) child?
u What child do most people not like?
The voice had the particular quality that a Flemish saying compares to spooning the porridge into the mouth.
It is normal for young children to be self-centered, yet the parents seemed petrified and guilt-stricken when their kids picked their own color for the favorable attributes. A look into the motives of those who designed this so-called study could be revealing. Granted that racism still lingers on both sides, on all continents, but this study only promotes the synthetic talk about race so familiar in this country. What would bring some fresh air into the national dialogue are the following words by Martin Luther King Jr.: The struggle is not between black and white. The struggle is between justice and injustice. This approach, however, would not tend to boost ratings which of course is what CNN had in mind.

BEST BETS: "Jessica Jones," "Big Trouble/Escape from New York" & More October 2016 Highlights
Comic Books
The last couple of months we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Avengers with a variety of features, such as a countdown of the 50 Greatest Avengers Stories of All-Time (based on YOUR votes) as well as a collection of Top Five Lists involving the Avengers (like the Top Five Avengers Battles Against Ultron) and a collection of Cool Avengers Moments (like the Avengers meeting Captain America for the first time).
