By John Mark Reynolds
College presidents are not always wrong. Here is one they get right: Americans should rethink our polices toward alcohol and young adults.
Eighteen year old adults should have the legal choice to drink in this culture.
College faculty and administrators know that thousands of college students abuse alcohol, but that thousands more do not. They understand that making an act criminal and restricting the liberty of citizens to act as they wish, even to act badly, requires very powerful reasons. Traditional Christians should agree with this legal modesty based on centuries of experimentation with different levels of restrictions on bad or unwise behavior.
Why Small Government?
Small government is best. Fallen men cannot survive with no government. Anarchy is bad, but totalitarianism is worse. Even a hug from big government can hurt and absolute power can corrupt the best of men.
Most traditional Christians believe, even if they sometimes forget, that God has given each human being liberty. God let Adam disobey him. If a God who could have stopped men from making bad choices does not always do so, then it must be better so! In this age, God has often given men the freedom to defy Him openly. Of course in the end, every deed will be judged and justice done, but not yet. Christians should not rush to give the state powers that God is not using Himself at this time.
It is obviously dangerous when one group of fallen men forces another group of fallen men to do what the first group believes to be right. Using force to make a man conform threatens precious God given liberty.
Of course, liberty is precious, but not priceless. It is not the only good, though it is very good. Sometimes in the complicated and messed up world we live in this side of Paradise, some other good, like the survival of the community, forces a Christian to agree that men must be made to act as they should by force of law.
This decision is, however, a grave one.
Alcohol Not Worth Bigger Government
The social gains from banning all adults of a certain age from drinking are not worth the cost to liberty. Alcohol use is not a sin for most Christians. For most Christians moderate drinking is a harmless pleasure. Of course, like many pleasures it tempts some to overindulge and alcoholism is very serious. The abuse of alcohol is bad and many adults are prone to this fault.
It might be unwise for many adults to drink, but surely few should wish the state to begin banning all unwise actions. Most of us who have our share (or more!) of folly would scarcely be able to move under such a regime!
This true even for the minority of traditional Christians that think the consumption of alcohol is immoral. Even if true, this would only prove that drinking is the sort of act that it might be good to ban it not that it should be. Long experience shows that laws often do as much harm as good. Sadly, Evangelicals supported an experiment in constitutional alcohol prohibition in the last century. It was a notable failure.
Law and Morality
Nothing moral should be illegal, but not everything that is immoral should be criminal.
Every time the state removes a choice from citizens, it risks making children of them. A republic depends on people who can make moral decisions for themselves. If we cannot, the state will not long survive no matter what laws are made. The power given to the state in order to enforce laws is also dangerous. The more laws, the greater the police power of the state. Any good done must be weighed against this grave potential threat to liberty.
Conservative Christians, who have been martyred in the millions by abusive state power in the last century, have no reason to trust expansive state power. In very grave situations, such as abortion which takes an innocent human life, we support increasing legal restrictions on bad choices, but it does not follow that we should support every such restriction.
Alcohol Abuse Is Bad, But the Alcohol Law Is Not Wise
I am not naive about the harm alcohol abuse can cause on a college campus. For some people the temptation to abuse liquor is overwhelming. Once addicted, the alcoholic is in trouble and nobody who works with students takes that lightly. It always makes me sick to see the stupid decisions made under the influence and the years wasted by those who cannot control their drinking. For many, a life of abstinence from all alcohol is the best choice.
At eighteen, an American is an adult and the law is not the best way to prevent unwise drinking by adults. Too often it turns a pastoral problem into a legal one. There is little evidence that it does much to prevent the binge drinking all too common amongst young adults. There is some evidence that by forcing this choice underground, it creates a culture that encourages abuse.
It is illegal for all Americans to drink and drive and this will continue. It is illegal to serve drinks to minors and this should and will continue. Mothers should continue to be against drunk driving and minors drinking, but eighteen year old Americans are adults. If we have decided eighteen year old Americans are adults, then we should give them adult liberty.
As many have pointed out, at eighteen an American can die for his country and vote in an election, but is not deemed responsible enough to make his own decisions about the use of alcohol.
While young adults are apt to make bad choices with serious implications for the rest of us, such as driving under the influence, the best way to deal with this situation is not through police power. I see no evidence that there are any behavioral gains that could not be achieved through education. Driving drunk will remain illegal, but allowing college age drinking to come out from underground may actually help spot bad drivers in some cases.
This is unreasonable.
Parents, Students, and Universities Can Still Choose To Be Alcohol Free
Adults do not have a right to drink, but adults should be allowed to do so if they wish. Just because I think a choice should be legal does not mean a person should act on that choice!
I have a son who will turn eighteen in October. He is a fine young man and will vote this fall for the first time. What compelling interest keeps him from making his own choices about alcohol? Of course in some ways he is making them already and did so in the most obvious way in his choice of a school.
There will always be places, like my own university, that choose to be "dry" (alcohol free). The beauty of a free society is that such choices are possible. I enjoy working in a school where every university social event is not centered around alcohol. Thousands of students also appreciate having this choice and will continue to make it if the laws are changed. Such schools will continue to provide a dry option for parents and students who wish it.
Just because it becomes legal to drink, it does not mean private universities will have to change their policies. My son chose to attend a "dry" school and abide by the rules. The vast majority of our students like having an educational home that is alcohol free.
Evangelicals who wish should continue to support those options, but vote to treat our young adults as adults when it comes to choices about alcohol.
(I will have good friends who disagree with me on this issue and I will keep listening to their arguments. This is my view and necessarily that of my school or my co-workers.)

The Word Carrier. VOLUME XVII. HKI.lMNc; THE BIGHT, EXPOSING iin whom.. N 1 Mltl'lt 1. SANTEE AGENCY, NEBRASKA. JANUARY. 1888. FIT IV i i:\ts n:i; ykai:. Oil! I'LATKOIiM. i*br Indians we want American Edu- eation! We u<ani American Ilium*! We want American Rights! The result of which is American Citizenship! When The Word Carries parted from its Dakota counterpart, The Iapi Oaye, and they became two distinct papers, The Word Carrier began a new series, of which it has now completed four volumes. But with this number we take up the old series again; and this is volume seventeen, instead of volume five. With this volume we take a step ahead in several ways. For oue thing, we open a department "For Young People," whicli will furnish just what young people's missionary circles have been wanting. We do not mean to keep older people out of the young people's department, nor prevent our young friends from looking through the other pages for tbe many interesting items they will find there, too. And now we ask the help of every reader to introduce The Word Car- rikr to as many as you can. Get up a club. Or, if you cannot do it yourself, find some one else to do it. We have just received a list of seventeen names, with the cash, from Miss Abby B. Nichols, of Fairfield, Conn. That kind of a letter does us good. And we believe it will do good to every one of the seventeen to whom The Word Carrier will now carry its monthly message. We wish to reach as many people as we can. We have something to tell them all. Please introduce us. yoiul tin- letter of the regulations, But it is all in accordance with their spirit. Their spirit is that of Rome in the days of the Inquisition. Inspector Bannister is a Romanist, we are told. And the Romanists have control of the Indian Bureau. The revised regulations in regard to the vernacular are issued. We will publish them in our February number. Great concessions were promised; hut, with one exception, the new regulations are more intolerant (ban ever. We are allowed to open our out-station schools again, but no while missionary is permitted to teach in one of them. The astounding claim that the Indian Commissioner has authority to limit or allow missionary work is maintained more decidedly than ever. No doubt what we say may be improved upon ; but we prefer, nevertheless, to have our own say about things, and be responsible for our own words. In our last number the printer made us say that "as soon as the real drift of this assumption of power is seen by the free citizens of these United States, they will cull a halt on this Old World tyrant." Whal we really wrote was, that "the free citizens of these United States will call a halt on this Old World tyran ny." We have 110 time for personal criminations. The evil lies deeper than in the administration of individuals. It lies in institutions and ideas. When tbey become perverted tbey become the instruments of evil even in the ha nds of good men. We ask a careful reading for our first article on the second pnge, "The Real Issue." A great deal has been done for the Indian, and people wonder that it does so little good. Perhaps we may lind out why it is, and stop the blundering work thai is of no use. Let us stop this threading needles with cart-ropes, or sending watches to be repaired" by the blacksmith. The latest phase of the vernacular prohibition is thai Inspector Bannister has begun to regulate our Sab- bath niid week-day church services. He lias prescribed the number of 'times each week our missionaries at Grand River Station can hold religious service in Dakota. It makes US rub our eyes to see whether we are in America or not. There was a time when such regulations were in order in Spain and Italy; but uever in this country before. We think the Inspector goes be- A strong combination is at work at Washington to secure the passage of a bill for the opening of the Sioux Reservation. Those niosl interested are the towns that lie stranded along the Missouri River, who would stir heaven and earth and hell as well, for some tide to float them into prosperity. With ihem are the Black Hills communities, who, having secured one railroad, are now desper- atly hunting for others to deliver I hem from the clutches of Dial one. The railroads, too, have an eye on the game, which is the chance to haul in deluded settlers (o those alkali plains; and afterwards supply them with fuel and food—for a consideration. The Indians also arc going to have their say about it. A delegation will soon go to Washington from Cheyenne Eiver and Standing Hock Agencies, and perhaps from other points. Ostensibly they go to secure better; terms in what they may think to be an inevitable sale. They propose to ask for money instead of (lie cat- 1 tie it has been the intention of the I government to give them. They may be long-headed enough to see that they have si ill the veto on the bill, and this will not really effect ! the final vote. But we fear not. It seems to us that there is something maloderous in that benevolent woodpile. It looks much like a cunning move on the pari of the wire-pullers to get the Indian chiefs and principal men thus committed to some scheme for opening the reservation. They will purchase their support to I the whole scheme by securing for them (heir demand in regard to minor details of it. If so, it is a most adroit move. For without question il is not to the interest of the Indians to have the reservation opened at this time. A year ago, before the passage of fche general severalty law, it was desirable that they should have some means of securing individual titles; but now this is secured in the severalty law and the Indians have begun to adius! themselves to its provisions. Ii would only disturb them to now canvass new boundaries for their locations. Again, there is little enough good agricultural land in the whole re serve for the Indians. And tiny should* have the lirsl chance to choose it. They are just beginning to understand whal a farm is for and what kind of a location is of auy value to them. If it had uoi been fche policy of the government to corral them at the Agencies lor so long, they might have learned this sooner. Consequently we should Bee to ii thai the; have a fair ohance now. The reservation is poorenough soil for ail Indian coiuniunin to lake root in as farmers without pulling them nil up just as they begin to get started. ll.-i\ ins begun to attach themselves lo (he soil, llle\ should be let! Ulldisllirbed for a term of years. Then, when thej are well located, the remainder of their laud can be throw 11 open lor a burying-ground for the white Bel dements around. No: it is not for the interest of the Indians 10 have this reservation opened now. I.el those who advocate it be made to confess that il is purely in the interest of land-grabbers, the railroads, and speculators in town lots. Kirk's Illustrated History of Minnesota is an engaging book. Il begins with the days of the French Yoy.-igetirs, describes the Indian occupants of the country, tells the story of the days before Minnesota was even a Territory, and (hen brings down the accoiinl through Territorial limes ami Statehood to the present. The lirsl half of the book, which deals with the earlier times, will excite the most interest. It is a story graphically and truthfully told. And the illustrations, though not in the highest style of art, are very good, and really illustrate the book. The faces and scenes portrayed are recognizable, which is not often (he case. The sixty pages of Appendix notes and references will be found one of Ihe most interesting parts of the book. It Would be almost impossible lo gather such a variilv of material together, much of il from original sources, and gleaned oftentimes from descriptions that are imperfect or misleading, without some errors. One such we lind on page 88, where the Mdewakanlonwaiis are said to be one of the four bands of (he Santees. I usfcead of ibis, the Mdewakaiitonwans are the Santees. It is true that white men on the Missouri River and westward, with utter disregard of the facts, call all the Minnesota Sioux Sanlees; bill a Minnesota writer should keep to the truth, if he knows it. And in the helpful map thai in troduoes the book are some things for which we know of no shadow of proof. Thus, Hie Yanktons are pul down as residing in Hie angle of the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers. But neither their name (Dwellers at tin End), nor any tradition that we know of, countenances this. The Omahas, also, are strangely located iii the southeastern pari of Minnesota. We ask for proof of this : for it does nol fall in with what we know of their traditions and migrations.

Gitmo Detainees Sue, Cite Hobby Lobby
(NEWSER) – Just how slippery a slope did the Supreme Court lay out in its controversial Hobby Lobby decision? Lawyers for two Guantanamo Bay detainees aim to find out. In a legal motion last week, they demanded that courts step in and order the detention facility to allow their clients to pray communally, citing Hobby Lobby as a justification. "If, under our law, Hobby Lobby is a 'person' with a right to religious freedom, surely Gitmo detainees are people, too," one of the lawyers tells Al Jazeera.

I got the "ink blue" and it was very pretty. I'm 5'3" and 100 lbs, and I generally wear size small leotards, but this one was strangely tight around the shoulders/arms and around the leg openings. It fit fine everywhere else--bust, hips, girth, etc. Still, because of the tight arms and legs, if you are often between sizes, I would recommend choosing the larger size.

I love this leotard, it creates a beautiful line and the detail is really pretty. Unfortunately, the little mesh swirls came off pretty quickly, after the first wash.

under siege - through the jungle - on the beach
February 19th 2007
Earlier this month, the general strike in Guinea has led into a full scale uprising. Last week, the Guinean government has declared the state of emergency and announced a curfew that had covered 3/4 of the day. The government has decided to show it's iron fist. President Conte introduced his new propaganda that the Fula people are behind this so called attempt to overthrow the government, which of course is complete bullshit. This was an uprising lead by a youth that is sick of growing up without any sort of perspective, living under horrendous conditions while everyone connected to the government drives around in Hummer limousines and builds one villa after the other. Now the government has decided to give its people a scapegoat instead of a perspective. There never were any ethnic conflicts in Guinea before. This might change now.
Once the state of emergency was announced, the military started moving into one "quartier" of the city after the other Always beginning at dusk, the thunder of shots could be heard all over town. Theft, destruction of property, shooting injuries, beatings and rapes started being reported. There seems to be close to zero international press. The only two indepenent Radio Stations in Conakry were raided and destroyed.
The Americans have started evacuating last week. the French have a ship with 10 helicopters on hold and Saturday we received order from the German embassy to fly out of the country. There are still flights by Air France but the waiting list is long, the only other European Airline to fly out of Guinea, SN have suspended all flights. We would not have been able to take the dogs along because they would need a proof of vaccination and an implanted chip to enter Europe. We decided to not leave them behind and packed the car, fully aware that mowst people might find it completely nuts to drive through an African country under martial law just to bring our dogs into safety but everyone has his priorities, I guess.
I'm typing this from an internet cafe in Freetown.
We made it from Conakry over the border yesterday and it was probably the most adventurous day in my life. Scary, surreal and for sure something I don't want to
experience ever again. Lots of military road blocks, all in all 10 of them, or more, it is very much possible that I forgot one or two.
We had drugged our dogs with valium so they kept quiet and didn't puke all over the car while we were driving down bumpy dirt roads at high speed. I wore a fake uniform with a clipped on photoshopped fantasy "General Gossner" ID. Inbetween the front seats we had deposited bundles of cash to bribe our way through road blocks. My wife was as white as a wall for the entire trip. We barely spoke unless when we were stopped and my wife held a dead cellphone to her ear and made imaginary phone calls to the Guinean minister for foreign affairs, reporting that everything was going smooth. "What is she doing, there is no cellphone reception around here" the soldiers would remark. Of course there is no phone signal in the middle of the jungle... "This is a satelite phone, we have reception wherever we go." I responded with the most casual tone of voice I could muster.
They seem to have let a whole other breed of soldiers out of the caves for these road blocks, grim looking, large specimen with gold teeth, mirrored sunglasses and huge fucking guns,- forget about the usual AK47s, these were big, heavy MGs, the kind that come with tripods attached to the barrel. The most bizarre road block was in front of the last town before the Sierra Leone border. There is a wide river we had to cross over an old, damaged stone bridge. There were a couple of soldiers on our side of the bridge and they didn;t give us much of a problem but when we had halfway crossed the bridge, we noticed a helicopter on the opposite bench of the river with a larger group of soldiers next to the street. The apparent man in charge was wearing civil clothes and was sitting in a plastic chair under a large parasol. We were stopped and a soldier demanded our papers. He took them to his boss who studied them without comment and without even looking at us. I handed out some cash to the uniform closest to the car and tried to look as relaxed as possible. Luckily, we were let through without the vehicle being searched or any other hassle. Probably also due to my wife who again was acting like she was on the phone, speaking either to some diplomats or military official, reporting our location and mentioning that "the road blocks are no problem and everybody was treating us nicely".
We had left at 6:00 in the morning and crossed over into Sierra Leone at noon. One of the border guards had greeted us with the words "Welcome to Sierra Leone, this is a peaceful country".
A few hours later, we had arrived at Hamilton beach, just one hour out of Freetown. I was standing in the surf, in front of our rented beach hut, with an ice cold Star beer in my hand when out of a sudden, my knees started to tremble and wy eyes got a bit wet.
This morning, I already called up my record agents in Freetown...

TSA Agents Demand Passengers Surrender Their Drinks for Screening
Jason Mick
September 5, 2012 12:29 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Travelers, brace yourselves for the latest indignity
Thinking about flying? Well, in addition to
"enhanced" searches
and the risk that your privates
may be photographed and stored
Transportation Safety Administration
screeners, travelers now have one more woe to add to their litany of complaints.
According to
Daily Mail
TSA agents at the Columbus, Ohio Airport have been subjecting travelers to random seizures/inspections of their drinks at the gate to "check for explosives".
Of course, these drinks all were presumably were sold by the airport vendors, as any drink-size liquid containers are supposed to be seized by the bag screeners at the security checkpoint -- a policy that has been in place since 2006. So at first blush it's somewhat unclear exactly why the TSA agents felt it necessary to screen passengers' Starbucks and soft drinks.
The incident has been leaked onto YouTube (of course):
Ryan Mauro, a national security analyst, told the
Daily Mail
, "They're worried someone could bring an ingredient past security and then mix it with a drink that turns into something else - a poison or something else."
Airport screeners test passenger's Starbucks coffee to make sure he isn't a terrorist.

In June, the U.S. reportedly thwarted an attempt to blow up an airliner by a Yemen-trained, Norwegian citizen who was a member of the militant fundamentalist Islamic group al Qaeda. Despite the potential terrorist's plot failing, national security officials are reportedly alarmed about the fact that his spotless record and lack of inclusion
on no-fly lists
could have allowed him to escape scrutiny, were it not for the tips.
In a statement the TSA confirmed it might now be seizing people's drinks as a precautionary measure, commenting, "TSA employs multiple layers of security throughout the airport where passengers may be randomly selected for additional screening. One measure may include testing liquids that are in a passenger's possession."
Is that a coconut water or a bomb? Let's find out. [Image Source: YouTube]
TSA agents "examine" the beverages using a special security screen, which appears to involve taking a small dropper or swab sample of the beverage, then testing it on a slide with some sort of reagent mix.
Some say that the policy goes to far, though. The person who captured the incident on video told the
Daily Mail
I couldn't help but notice the two TSA women that were 'testing' any and all liquids that people had in their hands. Now remember that this is inside the terminal, well beyond the security check and purchased inside the terminal ... just people waiting to get on the plane.
My wife and son came back from a coffee shop just around the corner, then we were approached. I asked them what they were doing. One of the TSA ladies said that they were checking for explosive chemicals (as we are drinking them). I said 'really..inside the terminal? You have got to be kidding me.'
I asked them if they wanted to swab us all. She responded with something like, yes sometimes we need to do that. I then asked if she wanted a urine sample.
The TSA is way out of control. I understand that my ranting to one of these $11.00 per hour TSA goons probably does nothing, but you have to say something. Whats next...perhaps the TSA will come to your home prior to your drive to the airport? The police state of the U.S. is OUT OF CONTROL!
Indeed, as the
list of indignities grows
at a pace proportional to the would-be terrorists' increasingly imaginative plots, one has to wonder where the line must be drawn.

Transforming a Basement into a Home Theater
Steve Kindig has been an electronics enthusiast for over 30 years. He has written extensively about home and car A/V gear for Crutchfield since 1985. Steve is also a volunteer DJ at community radio station WTJU, where he is a regular host of the American folk show "Atlantic Weekly," as well as the world music program "Radio Tropicale."
More from Steve Kindig
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Part 1: Getting Started
When I moved into my new house — well, new to me anyway — I knew that one of the first major changes I wanted to make was creating a room for great home theater and music listening. None of the rooms on the main floor were quite right — the living room was too open to provide the kind of focused sound that I prefer, and the spare bedroom was too cramped for sharing movies and music with friends. Luckily, the house also has a big unfinished basement. The first time I walked through, I began hatching a plan for my own personal movie palace — minus the velvet drapes and sticky floors.
Of course, the first step is to clear out all the clutter.
I'll be talking about my thought processes and priorities for the room, and including plenty of details on the various construction stages, gear selection, and the final result. This room is part of a complete basement remodel, so I should tell you right off the bat that I didn't do the work myself. Heck, I can barely drive a nail straight! But if you're thinking about creating a theater room, or just like reading about this stuff, I hope you come away with one or two useful ideas. And you might also learn from my mistakes.
Why a basement room?
Basements have a lot of natural advantages for theater rooms. The floor is usually concrete, which doesn't transmit vibrations as much as a wooden floor. (Some people feel that those floor-vibrations add a "live" feel to music, but I prefer concrete floors.) Foundation walls are usually cinder block or poured concrete, which keeps late-night sounds from escaping your room and assaulting your neighbors. And basements often have few or no windows, which is great for "light control" — it's easy to darken the room for that theater-like movie experience.
a wall at the support beam, so that framing was torn out and the wall was pushed out
several feet to the right of the beam.
Working around an immovable object
As I sketched some possible layouts, the main obstacle I kept bumping up against was two massive support beams running lengthwise through the basement space, dividing it into thirds. Normally, I'd have built one wall incorporating the beam, but if I did that I'd end up with a room width of under ten feet, and I was afraid that would prevent me from having BIG enveloping sound and room for friends to enjoy it. So I decided to push a wall out beyond one of the beams. The downside: I was stuck with a ginormous beam hanging down into the room, which would definitely limit the size of a projection screen on the front wall. The upside: I gained several feet of extra width, so my audience wouldn't be required to crush together in one big armchair to watch a movie.

Good signing for Cagewarriors, take it he has vacated the BAMMA title.
I assume he has if he has signed an exclusive fight deal with CW!
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
Makes sense if he wants to fight regularly (often abroad).
BAMMA is a great event but doing 2/3 shows a year max holds back a fighter exclusively signed to them.
Unless you're on the TV part of the card then they're just another show.
One injury or small illness mid camp means you might be lucky to fight within 8 months.
Take Rob Sinclair, has averaged 2 fights a year with BAMMA and one of them had a year gap.
I'd think if he was the CW champ he'd A) be in the UFC now or B) definitely of been more active.
If you love fighting you can never really lose!!!!!
How about Jack Marshman next?
MMA Officials London, Essex and East Anglia representative
Tom's a really good fighter who will be improving so much since training and sparring over in Tristar. The place is full of talent and high level guys to train with and Firaz/Eric there are top notch coaches. Think there are some great fights out there for him

Top lad and very talented. Looking forward to seeing him in action

Sometimes the best response is a shrug
This week there was a sort of back-and-forth starting with Brian Proffitt in one blog item about Richard Stallman's somewhat verbose Guardian article and a response by Bruce Byfield in a blog item about how he notices that lately people are picking on the Free Software Foundation. This kind of tete-a-tete is normally custom made for my participation, and last night I had thought about jumping in with both feet and an arm.
But you know what? Never mind. Just never mind. I had a whole blog item written last night. I went to bed. I woke up this morning and read my item. Then I deleted it. It's just another "fuel, meet fire" situation that, despite my standard-issue remarkable and compelling prose (ahem), would have just removed focus from more important issues and would have created ill feelings.
So I'm just going to shrug, say "Ho-kay," and write about something else.
Before I do, however, I will say that I do think Brian is right when he says that the Guardian article is another FSF broadside against open source, and that I don't agree with Bruce's arguments that the FSF is being picked on. Let's look more importantly at the latter: The FSF does a lot of great things on behalf of software freedom, and does so with remarkably few resources. For this we are truly thankful. On the other hand, the FSF tragically has made an exact science of cultivating a "my way or highway" attitude (bring up dissenting viewpoints, as I have, and see how far you go), which makes its prevalent dogmatic stance a formula for organizational rigor mortis. For this reason alone (though there are others I won't go into here), the FSF hand-delivers invitations for criticism — some of it deserved, some not — rather than than being victims of attacks for whatever reason externally. For all the great things he has done, Richard Stallman is largely responsible for this culture of dogma and rigidity, and when some — not me, but others — equate the FSF to being the FOSS equivalent of the Taliban, I'd like to argue against that comparison but, honestly, I really can't.
But never mind.
Let's go from one train wreck to another, shall we?
One of the items that is high on the tech radar today is the fact that Hewlett-Packard is about to push Leo Apotheker off the top of the building (the sentiments of some board members, it's safe to say) and replace him with — I kid you not — Meg Whitman.
Meg Whitman. I would have prefered Slim Whitman — link to Wikipedia provided so the kids here don't have to Google him. So while you read who he is, get off of my lawn.
This Whitman-for-Apotheker swap has been described as a "hangover solution" in one ZDNet blog item, a sort of "hair of the dog" after an all-night bender where the first question is, "I did . . . WHAT?!" And the best decisions are usually not made when you're hung over. Hence we have Meg Whitman waiting in the wings when, according to people at HP, they have a very capable CEO choice in house with Ann Livermore.
While it would probably be best for HP to keep someone in house at the helm — that's one vote for you, Ann, over Meg — whomever takes over hopefully will say, with one of their first utterances in charge, "Remember what we said about dumping our hardware and WebOS? We take that back."
That would be nice, but on the whole that, too, probably deserves another shrug.

You must be starting to feel your age. That shrug and don't bother with it attitiude is an early sign of getting into middle age. A lot of things just don't fire me up like they used to.
I personally have a lot of mornings like you described. In the heat of the moment, my righteous indignation or inspired commentary seemed inciteful and important to share. Next morning, not so much.
Welcome to the 50 or so club my friend.
September 23, 2011 at 7:06 am
Damn kids! Get off my internet!
The idea behind the FSF is great but for a true believer there is
just as much lock-in as with any proprietary system. Freedom
means freedom.
That HP leadership thing…. what is that board thinking?
They, the HP B of D, should have taken a hint from the
voters of California and picked Jerry Brown.
Peace, Bob

Talented Class of Honorees at 2009 NFF/College Football Hall of Fame Luncheon
Sunday, March 8, 2009
The Allstate Sugar Bowl Chapter of the National Football Foundation/College Football Hall of Fame held its 2009 Awards Luncheon in the Hilton Riverside's Napoleon Ballroom on Thursday, March 12.
The event honored 23 local high school football players for their achievements in the classroom and on the football field. Two of the student-athletes being honored were also selected to receive Allstate Sugar Bowl Scholarships for $2,500 each. In addition, two local businessmen were recognized for their contributions to the community and the sport of football.
Doug Thornton, the senior vice president for SMG, the management company that operates the Louisiana Superdome and the New Orleans Arena, was presented with the Distinguished American Award. Thornton, who has been involved in amateur athletics in the city of New Orleans since 1988, oversaw the remarkable rebuilding and reopening of the Superdome after Hurricane Katrina.
Wright Waters, the commissioner of the Sun Belt Athletic Conference, which is based in New Orleans, received the Contribution to Amateur Football Award. Waters has 36 years of experience in college athletics, including the last 17 in his current position. The Sun Belt began sponsoring football in 2001 and he also helped found the New Orleans Bowl. He is currently Vice President of the Collegiate Commissioner's Association for the Football Bowl Subdivision.
Archie Manning, the national chairman of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame, recognized each of the 23 student athletes at the event. The winners were chosen from a nominated group of talented scholar athletes from the New Orleans area.

To celebrate the Osheaga weekend festivities, The Corona Theater hosted a spectacular opening weekend party (priced at a modest $5) featuring indie darlings Valleys , Dusted, Hôtel Morphée, and of course, the always impressive Besnard Lakes.
Stepping onto the stage first were the lo-fi duo Dusted, composed of Holy Fuck's co-founder Brian Borcherdt, and percussionist Leon Taheny, who's also a mixer, producer, and music engineer. Without words, Dusted launched into their set with melancholic intensity, playing songs off their debut album Total Dust to a crowd of curious onlookers. Singing with a kind of emotional heaviness reminiscent of a young Neil Young, Borcherdt, accompanied by the stripped-down stylings of Taheny on drums, tambourine, and the occasional drum machine, delivered an explosion of sound that started the night off right.
Next up were Montreal's own Valleys playing tracks off their latest record Are You Going To Stand There And Talk Weird All Night? which was reviewed by our resident writer Amelia early last month (read review here). As expected the performance was both ethereal and ominous – a delicate balance created by the perfectly harmonized Tillie Perks and Marc St. Louis, on keys and guitar respectively. Known for their thoughtful lyrics and explosive live shows, Valleys definitely delivered, filling the venue with their serious, synth-heavy sound that left the floor vibrating even after leaving the stage.
Following the duo was Hôtel Morphée, the Quebecois indie rock band with bite. Composed of Laurence Nerbonne on vox and violin, Blaise Borboen-Leonard on (lead) violin, Andre Pelletier on acoustic guitar, and Stephane Lemieux on drums, Hôtel Morphée launched into their set with rockstar-like intensity, with the wonderful Laurence moving about the stage like a blonde, Quebecoise Allison Mosshart accompanied by her band of equally talented multi-instrumentalists. Playing tracks off their record "Des Histoires de Fantomes" released this past February, Hotel Morphee made sure that they were memorable.
And last but certainly not least were the Besnard Lakes, one of Montreal's finest musical gems. Entering to a stage full of smoke in true rock fashion, the band (headed by husband and wife team Jace Lazek and Olga Goreas) launched into their set — much like their openers — with a distinctively seasoned intensity. Looking like a bass goddess in a long, red dress, Goreas and co. let their signature grandiose, shoegaze, psychedelic sounds do the talking, Lazek' voice serving as another layer to the band's already complex sound. Playing songs off their latest release Until In Excess, Imperceptible UFO released this past April, the band also decided to include a wonderful talented xylophone player halfway through their set – an undoubtedly lovely touch. Overall, the band, preceded by the best up-and-coming acts in the game today, demonstrated just how powerful great indie music can be.

Today was a fantastic dolphin slaughter-freeDolphins performing at Dolphin Base day in Taiji town. Even though the sun was shining and the water was as smooth as glass, the murderers returned to the harbor with their heads hung low before 10 a.m. It's impossible to predict what each day will bring here at the Cove. Even though yesterday was raining and overcast they still were able to find a pod, drive them in and slaughter every last one of them. Today's weather was gorgeous and conditions were perfect, yet they found nothing.
With the last two pods being small and a few days mixed in with no dolphins at all, it's apparent that they're not finding the numbers of dolphins they were only a few short weeks ago. It leads me to wonder if these creatures are being annihilated and aren't able to repopulate at the rate they're being killed.
Close-up of the gutting bargeIt is unclear to me why these "fishermen" don't understand the damage they're causing to the ecosystem or if they simply don't care. The reverence for dolphins and whales in Taiji is very misleading. The local bus has dolphin art on its side. The big windmill near the town entrance is shaped like a whale. Even some of the dolphin killers have little dolphin charms hanging from their cell phones. If you didn't know the truth about Taiji's dirty little secret you would simply think that this is a community that holds dolphins and whales in high regard. Tragically, these mammals are at the mercy of the bloody hands of Taiji, which is obviously a terrible place to be.
Once the last boat returned from sea and was docked in its slip at the harbor, the Cove Guardians headed to our favorite restaurant to celebrate with vegetable curry and naan bread. Cove Guardian Stephanie will be departing tomorrow and like each Guardian prior, we are sad to see her go. But she takes with her our friendship and the knowledge that we will see each other again.
Janice and Stephanie watching the transport of packaged dolphin meatHere is your opportunity to become a Cove Guardian. To join us in Taiji (voluntarily, and completely at your own cost and risk), write to us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We will get back to you, but please be patient. We cannot keep an eye on the Cove and answer e-mails at the same time. Contributions to Sea Shepherd Conservation Society to keep our official presence here are needed and welcome. These contributions cover the costs for transport, telephone, equipment, supplies, food, and lodging for the official Sea Shepherd representative. We will remain here through the end of March and will return for the next season in September 2011.
Thank you to the citizens of Japan who are weighing these issues and beginning to take a stand to solve them. Thank you to everyone who is on the frontlines of this war. This is a war to save ourselves from ourselves. Without your calling and writing Japanese embassies and your own governments, there will be no change. Keep it up! Every time dolphins are pushed into the Cove, let them have it. Every time there is blood in the water, let them have it. Make good consumer choices. Inform everyone you know about the tragedy here and how it is linked to the captive dolphin trade. All who patronize a dolphin show have blood on their hands.
For the dolphins,
Libby Katsinis
Nicole, who will be assisting me during the next three months, will share her experiences while in Taiji on her blog.Scott's daughter, Elora Malama West, who assisted him, will continue her blog from home.
Please support our work to save dolphins and ocean life around the globe!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Baltimore's ability to defy the probabilities of baseball has carried the Orioles into a deciding Game Five of their American League Division Series against the New York Yankees.
With their 13-inning 2-1 victory over the Yankees on Thursday, the Orioles improved to 8-0 in games that have gone 13 innings or more in 2012.
Some call it luck, others may say it is magic. The Orioles have a simpler answer: the bullpen.
The seven Baltimore relief pitchers used in Game Four shut out the Yankees, a team that finished second in baseball in runs and first in home runs this year.
Such performances have helped put the Orioles, a team widely predicted to finish last in the American League East, one game away from reaching the league championship series.
"You look at our bullpen. They've put us in situations late in games to score or manufacture those runs," said Jim Thome, a 22-year veteran slugger picked up by the Orioles this season.
While lacking the marquee names that the Yankees have, the Orioles improved their record to 31-10 in one-run games with Thursday's victory and an even more remarkable 17-3 in extra inning games.
"Obviously it's fitting with the type of games we've had all year," said Jim Johnson, the closer who notched a league-leading 51 saves during the season and earned the save on Thursday.
"We play better when our backs are against the wall, when we're not supposed to win."
Looking for the best match-ups against the powerful Yankees lineup, Baltimore manager Buck Showalter used his first four relievers for less than two innings combined.
Then with the game extending into extra innings, he needed to rely on right-handed side-arm thrower Darren O'Day for two and two-thirds innings and Pedro Strop for two more before calling on Johnson to finish up.
In seven and one-third innings, the Baltimore relievers allowed just four hits and one walk while striking out six.
"I've never been on a team that's this much fun," O'Day said. "Just look where we came from at the time we reported to spring training. Everybody thought we were going to be basement dwellers. They thought we'd be making tee times by now. It's been an awesome journey."
The relievers will have at least one more chance to shine when they battle the Yankees on Friday. The winners will advance to the league championship series against the Detroit Tigers with a berth in the World Series at stake.
"I'm guessing it's going to be a one-run game tomorrow," Johnson said. "I wouldn't expect it any other way."

FONTANA - The No.2 administrator in the school District has accepted a job at another district and will leave his post at the end of the month, it was announced during Wednesday night's school board meeting.
Alejandro Alvarez, who for the past three years has been associate superintendent for business services, has accepted a similar position with the Compton Unified School District.
Alvarez has been employed by the Fontana Unified district for 17 years, starting his career as a kindergarten, first- and second-grade teacher, moving up to assistant principal, and later principal.
Prior to his position in business services, Alvarez was director of certificated employees in the district's Human Resources department.
Board members and administrators praised his job performance as a key member of the district's cabinet and for his ability to present budgets and financing alternatives in easy-to-understand terms.
In an interview, Superintendent Cali Olsen-Binks said his position will likely be filled on an interim basis by a retiree to give the district more time to find a replacement.
Discussion on an adult bullying prevention policy was tabled to give board members time to review a proposal "with teeth" that was presented by Board Member Kathy Binks.
Binks presented an alternative to the policy, which was drafted by the board's attorney and included in the packet of information board members receive prior to the meeting.
Binks' proposed a resolution to control "instances of bullying and bullying-like conduct by adults, including, but not limited to, governing board members, toward other adults, including other board members" calls for "governing board members found by a majority of the board, during a properly agendized public meeting of the board, to have violated this policy may be subject to appropriate legal action, public censure and public disclosure of the conduct found to be in violation of this policy."
Binks, who is retiring from the board after 25 years of service on Dec. 12, said she hopes other board members will pursue implementation of this policy.
Due to the voters' approval of Proposition 30, a tax designed to raise money for schools and public safety operations, the school board unanimously approved the reinstatement of five school days that had been trimmed for the 2012-2013 school year in an effort to save slightly more than $7 million in utility and salary costs.
The reinstatement means that the school year will increase from 175 to 180 days, with those additional days filling the week of March 25, 2013.

Brain aneurysm repairAneurysm repair - cerebral; Cerebral aneurysm repair; Coiling; Saccular aneurysm repair; Berry aneurysm repair; Fusiform aneurysm repair; Dissecting aneurysm repair; Endovascular aneurysm repair - brain; Subarachnoid hemorrhage - aneurysm
Brain aneurysm repair is a surgical procedure to correct an aneurysm, a weak area in a blood vessel wall that causes the blood vessel to bulge or balloon out and sometimes burst (rupture). It may cause:
- Bleeding into an area around the brain (also called a subarachnoid hemorrhage)
- Bleeding in the brain that forms a collection of blood (hematoma)
You and yourhealth care providerwill decide the best way to perform surgery on your aneurysm. There are two common methods used to repair an aneurysm:
- Clippingused to bethe most common way to repair an aneurysm. This is done during an open craniotomy.
- Endovascular repair, most often using a "coil" or coiling and stenting (mesh tubes), is a less invasive way to treat some aneurysms. It is now done in more than half of patients.
During aneurysm clipping:
- You are given general anesthesia and a breathing tube.
- Your scalp, skull, and the coverings of the brain are opened up.
- A metal clip is placed at the base (neck) of the aneurysm to prevent it from breaking open (bursting).
During endovascular repair of an aneurysm:
- The procedure is usually done in the radiology section of the hospital.
- You may havegeneral anesthesia and a breathing tube. Or, you may be given medicine to relax you, but not enough to put you to sleep.
- A catheter is guided through a small cut in your groin to an artery and then to the small blood vessels in your brain where the aneurysm is located.
- Thin metal wires or glue are put into the aneurysm. They then coil up into a mesh ball. Blood clots that form around this coil prevent the aneurysm from breaking open and bleeding. Sometimes stents (mesh tubes) are also put in to hold the coils in place.
- During and right after this procedure, you may be given a blood thinner called heparin.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
If an aneurysm in the brain ruptures, it is an emergency that needs medical treatment, often surgery. Endovascular repair is more often used when this happens.
A person may have an aneurysm but have no symptoms. This kind of aneurysm may be found when an MRI or CT scan of the brain is done for another reason.
- Not all aneurysms need to be treated right away. Aneurysms that have never bled and are very small (less than7 mm at their largest point) do not need to be treated right away. These aneurysms are less likely to break open.
- Your doctor will help you decide whether it is safer to have surgery to block off the aneurysm before it can break open (rupture).
Risks for any anesthesia are:
- Breathing problems
- Reactions to medications
Possible risks of brain surgery are:
- Blood clot or bleeding in the brain
- Brain swelling
- Infection in the brain, or parts around the brain such as the skull or scalp
- Seizures
- Stroke
- Surgery on any one area of the brain may cause problems with speech, memory, muscle weakness, balance, vision, coordination, and other functions. These problems may be mild or severe, and they may last a short while or they may not go away.
Signs of brain and nervous system (neurological) problems include:
- Behavior changes
- Confusion
- Loss of balance or coordination
- Numbness
- Problems noticing things around you
- Speech problems
- Vision problems (from blindness to problems with side vision)
- Weakness
Before the Procedure
This procedure is often performed on an emergency basis. If it is not an emergency:
- Tell your doctor or nurse what drugs or herbs you are taking and if you have been drinking a lot of alcohol.
- Ask your doctor which drugs you should still take on the day of the surgery.
- Always try to stop smoking.
- You will usually be asked not to eat or drink anything for 8 hours before the surgery.
- Take the drugs your doctor told you to take with a small sip of water.
- Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive.
After the Procedure
A hospital stay for endovascular repair of an aneurysm may be as short as 1 to 2 days if there was no bleeding beforehand.
The hospital stay after craniotomy and aneurysm clipping is usually 4 to 6 days. When bleeding or other complications occur before or during surgery, the hospital stay can be 1 to 2 weeks, or more.
You will probably have an x-ray test of the blood vessels in the brain (angiogram) before you are sent home.
Ask your doctor if it will be safe for you to have MRI scans in the future.
Outlook (Prognosis)
After successful surgery for a bleeding aneurysm, it is uncommon for it to bleed again.
The outlook also depends onwhether anybrain damage occurred from bleeding before, during, or after the surgery.
Most of the time, open surgery or endovascular repair can prevent a brain aneurysm that has not caused symptoms from becoming larger and breaking open.
You may have more than one aneurysm. After endovascular treatment (coiling), you will need to be seen byyour health care provider every year.

Usage: hosts [ options ] [addr1 addr2 ...]
-a,--add Add the hosts instead of searching
-d,--delete Delete the hosts instead of searching
-c <col1,col2> Only show the given columns (see list below)
-h,--help Show this help information

What interested me was the "Set RHOSTS from the results of the search" description, as well as the "instead of searching" on the add and delete options. This implies that there is a mechanism to search hosts with this command. For the life of me I can't figure out how. How, for instance, would I display all windows 2000 hosts that I've collected in my database?

Tonight's Stars and Stripes Over SA Fireworks One of Nation's Best
Tonight's Stars and Stripes Over San Antonio fireworks show, sponsored by the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, has emerged as one of the best municipal fireworks shows in the country, and officials are planning for a large crowd and perfect Fourth of July weather, Newsradio 1200 WOAI news reports.
Neal Chaiott, who is the lead technician for the display, says he and his crew are spending about three days preparing for the show, but planning has taken months.
"We work for months ahead of time getting everything planned out," he told Newsradio 1200 WOAI. "Getting the shells in and getting the right shells for what we need to do."
In addition to the fireworks, an Independence Day naturalization service will take place, where twenty men and women who are serving in the U.S. military will take the oath and become U.S. citizens.
Music will be provided by the classic local band The Klocks, and there will be plenty of food trucks on hand.
When the twenty minute fireworks display begins, Chaiott says it will be choreographed to music on Q101.9, that can be heard on a radio, or on the iHeart Radio app.
"We can highlight the armed forces, we'll have the different colored shells to go along with the armed forces theme songs, so we can honor them," he said.
Chamber spokeswoman Becky Bridges says parking is available in Lots B and C, as well as parking for people with disabilities. There is also a drop off point at the Lot A gate.
The show begins at 6, and expect the fireworks about 9:30.
USA Today recently named Stars and Stripes Over San Antonio the ninth best municipal fireworks show in the country, and the only show in Texas to make the top ten list.
