Chomsky Harris Debate
The issues aren't clear from the exchange. This may clarify:
Chomsky knows Harris's views, Harris doesn't know Chomsky's. Chomsky's been arguing against such views as Harris's and has developed a critique of such views for fifty years. Harris doesn't even know Chomsky's arguments or position. He could know Chomsky's positions and still disagree, but he needs to understand what a radical critique of the US role in the world says and the evidence for it.
Harris is taking a useful aspect of judging moral culpability - the intention of the perpetrator - and applying it to large social events. Chomsky - probably - is fine with the distinction between voluntary and involuntary manslaughter - where the intention of the person is taken into account - but that doesn't mean he thinks you can take powerful, large, social actors and apply the same individualistic criterion for assessing their moral actions.
I think Harris should not focus on intention when determining the morality of social actors' actions. Then he is vulnerable to Chomsky's argument that Hitler claimed good intentions. Harris, I think, should focus on his claim that the US is a more morally developed society and that the actions they are taking, not only are designed to make others morally more developed, but, more importantly, that the results of their actions create moral improvement for others. Harris's point should not be that Clinton or Bush didn't intend to hurt people, but that the effect of their actions over time is moral, social, or economic, improvement for others. If that's the case, then Harris can say the Japanese, the Nazis and Al Qaeda aren't doing that. They may say they are protecting the German people or making the world better by restoring Islam, but they are not. I don't think Harris would be right if he argued that, I agree with Chomsky's view, but I think that's what's crucial in Harris's view.
Harris lists the horrors of American actions over its history, but he doesn't take the next step. The next step is to ask: What social understanding explains all the results of US actions? Harris is saying: Yes the US has done bad, but we're basically creating good. Chomsky is saying: When you look at the results of US actions over time, Harris's explanation doesn't hold up. If the results of a system's foreign policy are consistently bad we start to say that attributing the bad results to unintentional mistakes - the US as well-intended but clumsy giant - doesn't work anymore. That could be a debate between them. But Harris would surely lose. Chomsky has a staggering wealth of knowledge about just those facts and Harris doesn't. But someone else politically knowledgeable might be able to challenge Chomsky's understanding.
What they should be arguing is: what have been the results of US actions in the world over an historical period and what does that tell us about how the social structure of the US functions to produce those outcomes? We shouldn't focus on intentions when we analyze social events, we should look primarily at the results of social actors' acting over time and find an explanation that explains the most data. I've found Chomsky's fact-based, moral and logical view the best.

On Bergson
The thing I never got about the French philosopher Henri Bergson was why he was so popular for a time and why he lost popularity so completely. So often when he was mentioned the standard thing to say about him was that he was the most famous philosopher in the world in the pre-WWI period and then he was forgotten. I remember reading in Bertrand Russell's A History of Western Philosophy a dismissive article about Bergson.
It would commonly be said of Bergson that he theorized duree which is our subjective experience of time in contrast to objective, clock time. Like the way boredom makes things slow down and interest makes time go by faster. Didn't seem like much when described like that. But I knew that Gilles Deleuze wrote a book called Bergsonism and reinterpreted Bergson in the late sixties and saw great insight there. So what was the Bergson story?
Bergson, according to Suzanne Guerlac in her book Thinking in Time: An Introduction to Henri Bergson, is saying that a background presupposition of our taken-for-granted conception of reality - not even to be noted - is space. Whatever happens has to happen within a container, a space, a field, an environment. The place in which things occur.
Bergson contrasts pure duration - duree -which she says he says can be distinguished from "time." Because space is presupposed to be there holding whatever is, time is conceived along the lines of space, as a holder - past, present, future - of what happens. History happens "in" time ("in" being a spatial category used to described time). As if time is a thing that exists and contains the contents that occur in it.
Bergson is saying that what we experience subjectively are qualities, differences, but not just differences in quantity but difference in quality. So his example of the piece of paper illuminated by four candles and then progressively unilluminated as each candle is blown out. Is there a quantitative reduction in brightness, so that the white paper gradually looks black (after the fourth candle is blown out) or are there a succession of different hues going from white to greys to black? Is objective time and the space everything is happening within the real reality and the subjective experience of qualities the more ephemeral reality? Bergson reverses it so that the world is seen what it looks like when what arises in our experience and its qualities are taken to be fundamental.
Here is the French connection to phenomenology and Buddhist practice. Even Modernist literature and their focus on first-person subjective experience. Perhaps there is a French tradition getting at the lived subjective experience, life as lived, going back to Montaigne. And more recently Maupassant, Bergson, Joyce (in Paris), Beckett (in France), Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Deleuze. Even Foucault and how self and consciousness are formed. And Pierre Hadot and how the Greek philosophers were interested in "spiritual exercises" to train oneself to experience life rightly.

Areas of Interest
Romanticism. The German variety from the late 18th and early 19th century. I never learned the difference between all those German "S-C-H's": Schiller, Schelling, Schleiemacher, the two Schlegels. I see though that there is a philosophical anti-foudationalism there and I'd like to understand it. Started reading Frederick Beiser's well-written intellectual histories, The Romantic Imperative and others.
Pragmatism. Looking at the Notre Dame Philosophical Book Review site there are some new books on Pragmatism. Since it is my basic philosophy I'd like to see what people who can explain it well are saying about it. So read Robert Schwartz's Rethinking Pragmatism and Michael Bacon's new introduction to Pragmatism.
The other day I saw on the new book shelf at my college library an introduction to The Kyoto School of philosophy. This is the school of philosophy that arose in Japan in the 20th century and used western philosophical language and techniques to philosophize an Eastern way of understanding existence and the world. I've always thought I'd like to understand better what philosophers using a analytic style would do with Buddhist concepts and that's what these guys did.
I've always wanted to understand Spinoza better but haven't found the right book for it.
Recently I read a compelling reinterpretation of ordinary language philosophy. It's always intrigued me but it always seemed dry and dusty. But Avner Baz's book When Words are Called For interprets ordinary language philosophy as a radical critique of central parts of contemporary philosophy.
I've always wanted to understand how those who practice philosophical counseling understand it and distinguish it from psychotherapy. I got a couple books by Peter Raabe on it. Looks like they have trouble defining what philosophical counseling is.
While I assume – because of my assimilation of Chomsky's political insight – that Iran is being set up as a useful enemy by the American political establishment and media, I didn't really understand contemporary Iran well. I just figured it's an authoritarian Islamic state and bad, but of course not to be threatened, sanctioned and attacked as the US is doing. But the recent book by longtime policy insiders Floyd and Hilary Mann Leverett, Going to Teheran, is quite an eye-opener. They say that the Islamic revolution of 1979 was an authentic revolution and that Ayatollah Khomeini was an authentic revolutionary. I always figured he was an evil guy (remember those eyebrows?) who established with others an authoritarian Islamic state. The Leverett's always refer to "The Islamic Republic of Iran" instead of just "Iran" to emphasize that there was a genuine attempt at, and that there is a genuine kind of, democratic republic in Iran. That it is an Islamic-democratic hybrid and that the people do have some say. They even present solid evidence that the last elections that re-elected Ahmadinejad, which were presented in the American media as fraudulent, were actually as legitimate as elections generally are in democratic countries. More recently, the current elected president, Hassan Rouhani, is considered, by Iranian standards, more moderate than Ahmadinejad.
I want to understand more about what Charles Peirce, the pragmatist philosopher, said about the relationship between ethics and aesthetics. Did he really see ethics as more fundamental than epistemology and aesthetics as more fundamental than ethics?
What are the further implications of seeing knowledge as a kind of social status that some information has conferred upon it by a social consensus, rather than as a designation of the information's validity according to some independent means of validation?
I still want to get back to Hegel. Maybe through Robert Pippin, maybe through Zizek, and maybe through Fredric Jameson. Not sure I want to read Hegel himself.
Some day I'd like to try reading Lacan himself. I spent a couple years in a reading group reading secondary sources on him: Bruce Fink and Slavoj Zizek.
The concept of the normative seems to be big these days. It still seems murky to me. This new book by Joshua Gert, Normative Bedrock, seems to take an approach I like, but I'm having trouble getting into it.
I still would like to read some Bakhtin after reading in a study group a selection from Tzvetan Todorov's The Dialogical Imagination. I like Bakhtin's attempt to see meaning as originating not just in contexts but in specific, unique contexts that, because they are the context that are occurring right now with these people who are talking, gain meaning from what has just been said and what we anticipate saying. It could link up with Baz's interpretation of ordinary language philosophy since he criticizes both the semantic and the contextualizing approaches to determining truth and meaning by focusing on not trying to create a theory of meaning. That ordinary language philosophy is, Wittgenstein-like, a careful dismantling of the need for such theories. Maybe a kind of philosophical therapy.
In general, through pragmatism, ordinary language philosophy, Nietzsche, Buddhism, phenomenology, Bakhtin and others I seem to keep wanting to get away from abstraction and systems to a thinking that focuses on the texture of lived experience. Philosophy as being used to alter ourselves for the better and so having practical purposes.
I want to read more Zizek, but not commentary on Zizek, because he's so enjoyable and delightful to read. And he gives lively and understandable descriptions of tough thinkers' thoughts.
I'd like to finish Richard Bernstein's Praxis and Action.
I'd like a nice book on Kierkegaard and to read again, in the Hong translation, the parts in Concluding Unscientific Postscript about subjectivity. As I recall the passages on subjectivity are so compelling that it seems while reading them that subjectivity is the true reality and the starting point for any thinking or living. That's rhetorical skill!
Still want to read Adorno again and the Frankfurt School but not sure what. Maybe the nice looking history of the school by Rolf Wiggershaus.
More Hayden White. Still want to read all of his Metahistory.
I'd like to understand the dichotomy between the figural and the literal. Does literal correspond to the correspondence theory of truth? Literal meaning how things actually are? But isn't that a philosophical assertion: how things actually are. We live a culture in which the surest knowledge is from the natural sciences and so what is "literally" true is what is physically true and not metaphysically true. Compare how those from medieval times may have thought that God and the soul were literally true and nature was a metaphor, messages from God, to be interpreted. This difficulty with the idea of the literal underlay Nietzsche's metaphorization of language. That metaphor or the figural comes first and then comes literality.
I'd like to review Max Weber's sociology and the phenomenological sociology of Alfred Schutz. I could never get into Schutz because I was so politically minded and much more attracted to The Frankfurt School thinkers. Perhaps I could appreciate Schutz now.
I still want to understand theories of the placebo effect. If the placebo effect has to be ruled out as a cause of healing against every new medicine, and if it also is superior, sometimes, to doing nothing and letting the body heal itself, how does it work? What is the physiological mechanism by which we heal ourselves better than our natural process because we think we're getting medicine? Mind over matter doesn't explain much since almost everyone would see mind as a result of the matter of the brain and nervous system.

Chomsky and Zizek and the Journal
It shows how skewed mainstream debate is that you can just state a crude version of Chomsky's views and they seem foolish. But is the sense of foolishness in Chomsky's views or in the mainstream assumptions that he is countering? What if it turns out that the mainstream assumptions are ludicrous – the US is pro-democracy, there is an Israeli-Palestinian peace process? If the radical argument against mainstream assumptions is seriously considered then the reader has to find out what's right by exploring the issues. The Journal author doesn't want the reader to do this and so the whole incident is presented as humorous and not to be taken seriously. Ironically, this is just the kind of journalistic behavior that Chomsky and Zizek help us understand. No wonder the author doesn't want to confront the issues they raise.
The whole point of the story of the "feud" is to marginalize these thinkers who offer a radical and rationally argued critique of western social and political structures and policies. Since the Wall Street Journal is a bastion of and, on its editorial page, a promoter of mainstream conservative policies they naturally oppose radical critique. Since the Journal is in the power position they can make fun of opponents. By not treating them seriously they can try to get their readers not to treat them seriously and instead use them for entertainment purposes.

Nietzsche and Klossowski
Recently a friend asked his standard question when I tell him about a thinker I'm reading: "What is the essence of the thinker's view in one sentence?" In one way it's absurd to try to summarize someone's thought in one sentence, but in another way it's an interesting challenge. He asked me to summarize Nietzsche and I thought my answer pretty good. I said: "Existence is a cacophonous melody."

The Preferential Moment
This focus on the preferential moment, our liking or disliking, our desires, is unusual. It runs contrary to the main thrust of post-Enlightenment reason and science. But its role in believing the ideas we adopt as our own is, I'm arguing, necessary. If necessary we should know more about it.

Whose Truth?
I think it's understandable even with a few inside references:
By what means or criterion do we determine the Truth? F. has his approach. I would guess that if you practiced his/Dan Brown's/the Mahamudra approach then it would look that way. But if you practiced another approach you may find a different Truth or no Truth or some Non-Dual, ineffable, relative/absolute, Truth/Non-Truth. How are these differing Truths to be adjudicated? How do we sort out which is really the Truth? Whose practices, traditions, concepts, experiences are we to trust as providing The Truth?
Even with powerful practices to determine the Truth we still have to convince others through our words and through our persuasiveness to do the practices that we've found show the Truth. It's the interaction with the community of those involved in determining what we know that we must engage regardless of how convinced we are by our Truth, which, of course, we know is The Truth. (This is Wilber's three strands of any valid knowledge quest, the last strand is the opinion of the relevant community about the proposed piece of knowledge, that's why his concept of orienting generalizations is important to him, because it determines what is knowledge.)
This view of the inevitable plurality of truths causes me to like, in contrast to Fede, Wilber's move to a post-metaphysical integral theory in which the leading edge development is both discovering and creating the truth through its life practice on more developed levels. I don't think that's what's really happening, but this incorporation of the role of the person and the human community in the creation of what we know is true captures something important about our postmodern present and so could argue that it is a transcendence and inclusion of a contemporary understanding.
But I also made the point that there is too much made of Truth in spiritual circles. I said that we should care more about ethics and actions. A person who has the Truth may still do bad things and a person without the truth may do good things. What we want is people acting better and talking about how we should act and altering their selves in order to act more ethically.
So a difference between us is how we believe you determine when you have knowledge. For you powerful mystical experiences are the means to Ultimate knowledge. Probably because you've had those experiences and were convinced by them. I have not had those experiences. For a different set of reasons than you I promote an emphasis on knowledge as more fundamentally dependent on ethics and the power structure of the institutions that determine knowledge. So when we are at the intellectual level in which we discuss philosophical topics like the character of knowledge, our views start diverging and we reach a point where you cannot give reasons for your choice of one criterion of knowledge over another. That's when we would inquire into the extra-rational reasons any given person believes in something rather than something else. I advocate and demonstrate a "psychology of belief" in order to examine the nature of our attachment to the belief we find convincing for extra-rational reasons.

Quality of the case is very good, the padding inside is also very good. Almost too good since my Epi Acoustic-Electric (MM-30E) mandolin is a very (I mean "get the shoe horn") tight fit. I'm assuming it will get looser with use. Better tight than loose. Overall, nice appearance and finish.

Got the case from GC and was blown away by how nice it was. The only problem I had was that it had an overpowering new case smell. After several complaints about the smell, I remedied the problem with a few sprays of a commercially available fabric deodorizing spray that I won't mention by name. Problem solved!!! Now it smells as good as it looks...

Clarion names Dernlan head coach
Former Penn St. assistant looks to rebuild 'rich tradition'
Matt Dernlan was named Clarion's head wrestling coach, Golden Eagles' athletic director Dave Katis announced on Monday. He had been an assistant wrestling coach at Penn State for the past seven seasons.
The 39-year-old Dernlan replaces Teague Moore, who was the Golden Eagles head coach for the past five seasons and was recently named head wrestling coach at American University.
Dernlan comes to Clarion from Penn State where he was director of operations from 2009 – 2011 under head coach Cael Sanderson and part of the Nittany Lion staff that brought an NCAA Division I National Championship home in 2011. He was the first assistant and recruiting coordinator at Penn State from 2005-2009 and helped lead the Lions to a third place team finish in 2008. He was directly responsible three top four national recruiting classes in 2005, 2006, 2007 and also a top contributor in the outstanding 2010 class. He was also director of operations at PSU in 2004-2005.
Prior to his coaching experience at Penn State, Dernlan was the assistant coach at Ohio Northern University from 2001 – 2004, was assistant director of the Jeff Jordan Champ Camps from 1999-2000 and 1995-98 and assistant wrestling coach at St. Paris Graham High School in Ohio from 1997-99.
"I am excited to announce that Matt Dernlan has accepted the position as head wrestling coach at Clarion," said athletic director Dave Katis. "Matt possesses all the attributes we were looking for in a head coach," he continued. "He has a great background as a wrestler and a coach, is highly respected in wrestling circles, will be an outstanding recruiter and will be a strong, positive leader for our wrestling program in the classroom and on the mats. He is committed to graduating student-athletes and is motivated to be the best. The Clarion wrestling tradition is in good hands with Matt Dernlan."
Dernlan becomes only the sixth head coach at NCAA Division I Clarion since 1960. Frank Lignelli re-started the wrestling program in the Fall of 1959 and coached through 1966. Bob Bubb elevated the program to elite NCAA Division I status as head coach from 1967- 92, while Jack Davis mentored from 1993-97, Ken Nellis from 1998-2006 and Moore from 2007 – 2011.
"I am honored and humbled to accept the opportunity to become the next head wrestling coach at Clarion University," said Dernlan. "I want to thank President Whitney, Harry Tripp, Dave Katis, coach Bubb and the wrestling search committee for putting their faith in me in to lead this prestigious wrestling program."
"I have been overwhelmed by the level of support the program attracts from our alumni, the community and the institution itself. I am eager to confront the challenges of reconnecting the program to its rich tradition, while at the same time being mindful of the responsibility for myself, the staff and the members of the program, that we must add to our tradition."
"I so admire and respect former Clarion head coach Bob Bubb," said Dernlan. "He built a tradition that only a few men have achieved in our great sport. He is a man dedicated to building men of integrity, character and action. His record stands among the nations elite and is an NWCA Wrestling Hall of Famer. I hope to follow and build upon the qualities that coach Bubb was dedicated to, along with all of the great men who have built the tradition and family that I am now a part of. I hope to honor them all by doing things the right way for the right reasons and restore Clarion wrestling to national prominence."

Tennis Free Bets
Tennis is very much a global sport, with tournaments taking place in almost
Top Tennis Bookies
The four Grand Slam events are the tournaments every player aspires to win, although the men's game has been largely dominated by four names for several years now, with Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray all consistently reaching the at least the semi-final stages of each of the Grand Slam events.
Stanislas Wawrinka has forced his way into this elite group in the last few years, but all of them are now in their late 20s and early 30s. It could be time for some new faces to emerge and the tennis experts at Freebets.co.uk will be on hand to inform you of any up and coming players to keep an eye on. Anyone who can pick the next big success story of men's tennis could potentially pocket a tidy sum with some attractive tennis odds available for those outside the established order when it comes to winning the major events.

With regards to tennis betting, other than the always popular outright betting to win a tournament or individual match betting, there are also various set and game betting options. Total games played in a match can be a profitable option if you think an outsider will put up a strong performance and perhaps take a set or two, but that the favourite will ultimately prevail. There are also tennis bets to be had on individual set betting, number of sets in a match, most aces in a match, most double faults etc.
Tennis online betting is perfect for following a match in-play, with the nature of the game meaning that the advantage can quickly switch from one player to the other in just a few games.

Thanks to the cack-handed and haphazard way the industry has been regulated through much of its forty-year existence commercial radio news has come to be regarded as a burden rather than as an opportunity to grow audience, and particularly audience loyalty.
Worse, those who don't understand news are all too often in the driving seat, forcing journalists to do their job badly.
This post will attempt to flesh out some of these arguments.
From the early days of 'ILR' to the early noughties the biggest game in commercial radio was winning franchises. To win a franchise, you made promises. In IBA, Radio Authority or latterly OFCOM beauty contests there was always a tradeoff between the perceived commercial value of the licence, and the cost of delivering on the promises necessary to secure it.
The resulting cynicism of many franchise bids throughout this period remains breathtaking.
The language was always of news, local events, outside broadcasts and community involvement. The bidders behind what became Leeds station Radio Aire even promised 'original drama'. If that ever went out, it was on a night I wasn't listening. More recently there can be no doubt, surely, that Real Radio's promise of a 24-hour Yorkshire newsroom was a significant factor in winning a hotly contested regional licence.
The reality, of course, has always been that promises are scaled back, modified or ditched altogether once the licence is in the bag. "Events" throw politicians' programmes off track, and economic downturns provide the ideal cover to scrap news commitments. The DAB deal (by which franchise periods are extended if owners commit to DAB transmission) has reduced the frequency of re-advertisement and the need for everyone to pretend what their priorities are.
Even so, the legacy of extravagant news promises is the insidious perception that IR news is an expensive nuisance to be stripped back wherever and whenever possible.
Other factors are at work.
Cost-saving across the industry has largely seen the demise of 'middle manager' level programme controllers. Those in the driving seat are often those who would have been 'senior presenters' in the early days. They may still be presenting a show as well as doing the rosters and scheduling promotions. And ordering the toilet rolls. They may well be excellent on air but (by definition) they're a jock. They see the output with the mindset of a jock. They've never worked on a news desk. It's not their area of expertise.
News holds a special status within the various Broadcasting Acts. News can never be sponsored. Whether this protection is strictly necessary any more is a subject for another day. But Sports news can be sold, so can what's on stories and showbiz gossip, so these lighter, attractive elements are eagerly seized upon, stripped out and sold separately. News works with what's left. It's like a chef being told "no pasta, sauce, spices or salad - just create something lovely every day with meat and potatoes".
Journalists know the only safe way to report a court case is to be in court. That's out of the question with current staffing levels, and of course there's no budget to buy copy from a freelance agency**. So court reporting dies.
Council stories are boring. Wrong. Council news releases are boring. Guess what, guys who are paid by the council tend to suggest that the council is doing a good job. And they're also forced to issue releases about non-stories because someone with a title (who pays them) tells them to do so. These puff stories and non-stories are boring.
Councils deal with education, care of the elderly, sports facilities, parking charges, congestion, buses, noise, potholes and dog shit. Find me a listener - one listener - who doesn't care about at least one of these topics. Give your newsroom the space and time to find the story, not regurgitate the comms crap.
Stripped of content your 'news' becomes rip'n'read IRN, police news releases (free, no effort); charity events (ditto); National bra fitting week (invented PR peg with excuse of helping women in your core demo, also potential LOLs for your breakfast zoo); a made-up, localised survey commissioned by a big brand (ditto) and a local kid auditioning for BGT (for which doing the interview used up all your spare newsroom capacity yesterday). Oh, and a vox pop from the work ex student on whatever IRN's lead story is to give it local relevance ("these people in Grimtown have mixed views on the latest atrocities in Syria").
I wonder if the bulletin above is similar to the one that prompted John Myers to shame (but not name) the news he heard on one commercial station last month?
Think instead what could be achieved if the newsroom is allowed its potential.
This is something I've written about before, in terms of relaxing regulation which is no longer appropriate, and to which I shall return in the very near future.
** As an aside I know of one OFCOM-licenced station where an undergraduate student on placement was told "We're only a small station, we can't afford court copy so it's OK for us to lift court stories from the BBC website because they're paid for by the government". That was a few years ago. We've never sent a student there since.
@leedsjourno Re. lifting court stories from the BBC, I have been at a station in the past where that was the norm for all news. Shocking.— Sophie Metcalfe (@StrayNewsSophie) August 21, 2013

- Abstract:
- We examine how income is associated with the home environments and the cognitive and behavioral development of pre-school children using data from a birth cohort study of children born at the end of the 20th century. Lower-income 3-year-old children are more likely than wealthier children to live in homes with inadequate physical environments and to have mothers who are more likely to be stressed, depressed, harsh and unresponsive. Additionally, low income children have lower PPVT scores, more mother-reported aggressive, withdrawn, and anxious behavior problems, and also more interviewer-reported problems with behavior, than more affluent children. A key policy question is whether increases in the incomes of poor families would result in improvements in children's outcomes, at least in part through improvements in the home environment. This question is difficult to answer using observational data. However, we argue that, even under the most generous interpretation of the associations we estimate, large income transfer programs would have relatively small effects on children's cognitive and behavioral outcomes.

How it works
DPA Workstation (DPAWS) 8 is a powerful and flexible testing platform that includes an integrated suite of hardware and powerful data visualization software for testing and analyzing the vulnerabilities of cryptographic chips and systems to power and electromagnetic (EM) side-channel attacks. Designed to support every stage of the side-channel analysis process, DPAWS 8 enables customers to quickly and easily identify and address potential security flaws in tamper-resistant systems and SoCs.
DPAWS allows an analyst to collect power consumption or electromagnetic emission signals coming from a cryptographic device while it performs operations using secret keys. These collected signals can be examined using Simple Power and Electromagnetic Analysis (SPA/SEMA) or more powerful Differential Power and Electromagnetic Analysis (DPA/DEMA) to identify exposure of secret keys.

Introduction to Side-Channel Attacks
Side-channel attacks conducted against electronic gear are relatively simple and inexpensive to execute. Such attacks include simple power analysis (SPA) and Differential Power Analysis (DPA). As all physical electronic systems routinely leak information, effective side-channel countermeasures should be implemented at the design stage to ensure protection of sensitive keys and data.
What's Included
Our platform includes everything needed to collect, process, and analyze algorithms and devices out of the box. Custom test fixtures are included for analysis of smart cards and FPGA algorithms. Additionally, DPAWS provides the flexibility so that you can interface to your own devices. Signal probes, filters, and a wideband amplifier, used to acquire signals from a device under test, are provided with the DPAWS to improve your startup time. A carefully selected digital oscilloscope and PCI data acquisition card facilitate a wide variety of data collection. Collections and analyses can be scripted using native Python or MATLAB modules. Powerful visualization and analysis tools are included to facilitate the rapid and complete testing of hypotheses.
Customers also receive an in-depth training course covering both theoretical and practical aspects side-channel analysis.
DPAWS is available to testing labs, product vendors and organizations with business needs for side-channel analysis capabilities. Product vendors can pre-test products, saving testing costs and product development time.
Protecting Electronic Systems from Side-Channel Attacks
Side-channel attacks comprise a wide range of techniques including Differential Power Analysis, Simple Power Analysis, Simple Electromagnetic Analysis, Differential Electromagnetic Analysis, Correlation Power Analysis and Correlation Electromagnetic Analysis. An effective layer of side-channel countermeasures should therefore be implemented via hardware (DPA resistant cores), software (DPA resistant libraries) or both. After layered countermeasures have been implemented, systems should be carefully evaluated to confirm the cessation of sensitive side-channel leakage.

Are you looking for a book event to attend? Please see below for a list of events scheduled for July 2016!
Harlem Book Fair: July 16th
The mission of the Harlem Book Fair is to create access to the transformative power of reading by celebrating, encouraging, and promoting literacy and literacy awareness through public programs, community participation, corporate partnerships and in-school programs that broaden and strengthen the vitality of the African American community.
The Harlem Book Fair is the United State's largest African-American book fair and the nation's flagship Black literary event. Held annually in Harlem, NY, the Harlem Book Fair features exhibition booths, panel discussions, book sales, and workshops.
Notable participating authors have included Maya Angelou, Cornel West, Sonia Sanchez, Amiri Baraka, Walter Mosley, Terry McMillan, Touré, Farai Chideya, Stanley Crouch, Nelson George, and Mark Anthony Neal.

National Book Club Conference: July 29th – 31st in Atlanta, GA
National Book Club Conference Foundation, Inc., is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that executes one of the premier annual literary events featuring African-American authors and readers. Book lovers receive unprecedented access to the talent that creates the work they so enjoy.
Over the course of 13 years, some of the most famous and talented authors have been a part of what the NBCC calls "literary bliss": Walter Mosley, Terry McMillan, Iyanla Vanzant, Susan L. Taylor, Pearl Cleage, Hill Harper, Dr. Cornel West, Tavis Smiley, Roland S. Martin, Terrie Williams, Tyrese Gibson, Zane, Eric Jerome Dickey, Kimberla Lawson Roby, Stephen L. Carter and Walter Dean Myers, among others, including the late E. Lynn Harris, Bebe Moore Campbell, Francis Ray and J. California Cooper.
Important to the NBCC, however, is to introduce new or lesser-known authors that have created stories that are entertaining, informative and important.
The annual weekend, which is almost a spiritual occasion, consists of numerous book club meetings, panel discussions and other events that give readers face time with authors that rivals any literary occasion anywhere, in a fun, relaxed and intimate setting. The NBCC is where readers from across the country come together and depart friends.
"The best book event I've ever been to," the incomparable Walter Mosley said of the NBCC.
Eric Jerome Dickey said: "NBCC… the most important book club conference for authors and publishers of color… and where I go to meet and greet the authors I love to read. NBCC does for the Atlanta what the Harlem Book Fair does for the New York – provides access and information for both the up-and-coming as well as the established authors."
And Kimberla Lawson Roby added: "The National Book Club Conference is hands-down the most fabulous event I attend each year, and it is the only event that allows multiple authors to come together with hundreds of very dedicated readers – readers that we never would have been blessed to meet otherwise. It is one of the few events I know of that highly benefits publishers, authors, and readers all at the same time and the reason I participate every single year."

Arctic sea ice thins by 19 per cent
Sea ice in large swathes of Arctic thinned by as much as 19 percent last winter, compared to previous five winters, according to data from European Space Agency's Envisat satellite. Read more...world Updated: Oct 29, 2008 17:11 IST
Sea ice in large swathes of Arctic thinned by as much as 19 per cent last winter, compared to previous five winters, according to data from European Space Agency's Envisat satellite.
Using Envisat radar altimeter data, scientists from the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling at University College London (UCL) measured sea ice thickness over the Arctic from 2002 to 2008 and found that it had been fairly constant until the record loss of ice in the summer of 2007.
Unusually warm weather conditions were present over the Arctic in 2007, which some scientists said explains that summer ice loss. However, this summer reached the second-lowest extent ever recorded with cooler weather conditions present, according to an UCL release.
Katharine Giles of UCL, who led the study, said: "This summer's low ice extent doesn't seem to have been driven by warm weather, so the question is, was last winter's thinning behind it?"
The research, showed that last winter the average thickness of sea ice over the whole Arctic fell by 26 cm (10 percent) compared with the average thickness of the previous five winters, but sea ice in the western Arctic lost around 49 cm of thickness.
Giles said the extent of sea ice in the Arctic is down to a number of factors, including warm temperatures, currents and wind, making it important to know how ice thickness is changing as well as the extent of the ice.
"As the Arctic ice pack is constantly moving, conventional methods can only provide sparse and intermittent measurements of ice thickness from which it is difficult to tell whether the changes are local or across the whole Arctic," Giles said.
"Satellites provide the only means to determine trends and a consistent and wide area basis. Envisat altimeter data have provided the critical third dimension to the satellite images which have already revealed a dramatic decrease in the area of ice covered in the Arctic."
These findings were reported in Geophysical Research Letters.

Nov 2 2011------------------
I learned absolutely nothing from viewing the home page of Hypepoints. It was completely nondecriptive with no explantion of what the website was about. If I was only to view the homepage I would have no interest in it at all because I do not know any information on the product. Nor was I motivated to delve further into the site because it was not visually stimulating.
Nov 2 2011------------------
Great feedback and you hit on a lot of points we are think of ourselves too. Thanks! We were curious if the name would be self-explanatory enough for people to get the idea on that alone, but it doesn't seem as if that is so. As such, I appreciate your idea to put some more text on the top page such as, "SHARE HYPE POINTS WITH FRIENDS AND EARN REDEEMABLE HYPEPOINTS FROM FRIENDS:
A Facebook App is in development so another great idea there. Thanks again! We will also look at how to improve the FAQ based on some of your ideas too.
I would really be interested in hearing some of your feedback and ideas after you have had a chance to receive and share some HypePoints. If you sign up, we have lots of free HypePoints to give away especially for our StartUpLift testers, so just create an account if you haven't already and we will start putting some free HypePoints into your account over the next few days and weeks if you want to keeping using them that long. This will also help us see how others react to receiving HypePoints.
Nov 2 2011------------------
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We realize not everybody is into a paid site, but we are seeing if some people are. It will be very easy for us to make this a free site later if we need to. 🙂
One question I have is if you would be more willing to use this service if you could buy HypePoints for only $1? Or, do you prefer a free site only.
Finally, I am guessing that maybe you would be happier to receive some free HypePoints? Part of the HypePoints idea is that some people like to give and some like to receive. If you sign up for an account, we will be more than happy to pump some HypePoints into your account to see if that is more fun for you. We would also be very interested in hearing about your experience after you have had used some HypePoints. Thanks again for your help and hope to see you at HypePoints.com soon.
Nov 2 2011------------------
You and several others have mentioned the need for more text on the home page, so that is one of the first things we will consider how best to fix. Thank you for helping us with that!
If you go to HypePoints and sign up we will be more than happy to give you some free HypePoints so you can see how easy it is to send them. I think you might also be surprised at how personal it is after you have tried it as each HypePoints email is customized to the receiver based on why the HypePoints are being sent.
Your feedback was very useful and helpful to us so thank you again for giving us a try. I hope to see you on HypePoints.com soon and look forward to any other feedback you might have at that time.
Nov 2 2011------------------
Many other testers agreed with you on the need to improve the top page, but your opinion seems to be the strongest. Message received and thank you for the honest feedback. We would be very happy to receive any other ideas you might have after you have tried the site one or two times. If you sign up we will be happy to send you some free points and you can perhaps get a chance to see if the site is fun or not for you. Just let us know… Thanks again!
Nov 2 2011------------------
Hi and thanks for the feedback.  We would love to be able to allow people to exchange their points for gifts, and your comments may encourage us to do more thinking in that direction. We are also going to do some work on the front page. If you do change your mind and want to give it a try please feel free to signup and we will give you some free points to play with. It might surprise you how nice it is to share even if in a small way:) Thanks again!
Nov 2 2011------------------
Loved the idea to" Maybe let people know on the 'How it Works' page that Hypepoints is tied in with Facebook (instead of waiting to do it in the FAQs)".
I would send you some Hype for that suggestion if I had your email! 🙂
It seems agreed upon that the landing page needs some work and we will get on that asap.
Also really liked your idea for prizes.
I would be very interested in hearing any other comments/ideas you might have after you had a chance to receive and share a little Hype, so feel free to sign up if you want and I will send you some free HypePoints.
Many thanks!
Nov 3 2011------------------
Thanks for the feedback. I liked your idea about improving the How it works page. We are also into incentives, so feel free to sign up and we will make sure you get a lot more than 100 free HypePoints! We will also give free HypePoints to any of your friends that sign up. It seems you really get the basic idea behind HypePoints so for us you would be a perfect tester. Like I said, if you sign up we will take good care of your HypePoints account. Thanks again!
Nov 3 2011------------------
Hi and thanks for trying our site! I would be very happy to hear how it went when you got an email telling you that somebody had sent you some Hype? It would also help if you could share that Hype with others, and we will be happy to send you as many points as you need! Thank you.
Nov 6 2011------------------
Thank you for the feedback. We are working on Homepage feedback now and should have that up in a week or so.
Nov 6 2011------------------
Thank you for your feedback. Please feel free to sign up and we will provide you with free points as we would be very interested in seeing your additional feedback after using the full service.
Nov 6 2011------------------
Hi and thanks for the great feedback. We will use some of your feedback to consider how to improve the feedback. To answer your question, if a user does not accept your HypePoints, then they are returned to your account. Also, there is no charge to send or share points, only at the time of redemption.
Nov 6 2011------------------
Good points and we are considering the best way to address them all. Thanks!
Nov 6 2011------------------
Hi. HypePoints is a new idea and so we understand that a lot of people will have questions, which is why we are using StartUpLift to find out what those questions are. We also know that a small percentage of people will intuitively get it, and those are the people we are most interested in having test our site further. Since you seem to be one of those who get the idea right off the bat, we would be more than willing to provide you as many free points as you need to start helping us test the platform. Just sign up and we will start putting free points into your account that you can share with others. Any questions just let us know at info @ hypepoints . com. Thanks!
Nov 7 2011------------------
Visit http://www.hypepoints.com. Spend no more than 10 seconds on the home page. What do you think the site is about?
I really cannot tell just exactly what hypepoints are or what value they have other than getting me on the homepage.
What do you find bothersome? What do you like?
That you have to buy hypepoints and can't earn them somehow. I think if the concept was more integrated with other websites that hypepoints would be interesting.
Are you inclined to sign up for a free account? If not, why? No. There just isn't a lot of information as to why hypepoints are or why buy them. I might be more inclined if I received some free hypepoints for signing up/referring friends, etc.
Do you wish you had HypePoints to share with your friends and family? If not, why?
No. only if I thought the hypepoints have value with my other social networks. If I could unlock a cool house in Cityville or get a badge for my Facebook profile then I might consider it.
Are you at all interested in purchasing HypePoints? If not, why?
No. Without seeing that there is value to me for hypepoints, then I'm not inclined to buy any.
How can the Help and FAQ pages be improved?
The help page does explain a lot and covers many points like if you give points that aren't received. I would probably put some text in there about what are the advantages of being on the home page. Is it a link to my website? Will I get money? What is the reward? Is hypepoints like tiping?
Did you send HypePoints to anybody? If yes, how did they react?
No I didn't do this.
Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.
Hypepoints is an interesting idea – especially if you want to reward the author of a good post or something else on the Internet. Still I'm not sure that I would go through a third party to tip someone when I could just as easily send them money through Paypal, too.
Nov 7 2011------------------
Thanks for all the interesting feedback. I think many of the things you mentioned describe what HypePoints might be in the future… it will just take us some time to grow the community and get there. In the meantime, we are happy to provide free points when you sign up so give it a try if you want. We will also be working to improve the site based on all the feedback we have received.
Nov 7 2011------------------
It is interesting for us that even though you do not think the site is for you, you can still see how others might use and/or appreciate it. We are working now to improve the top page so users can understand what the site is about from the beginning. Thank you.
Nov 7 2011------------------
42 is the new 22. 🙂 I appreciate that you are too busy for this and we will consider how to use HypePoints for business users in the future. For example, maybe you could offer an eBook online for 50 HypePoints. This might not be a lot of incentive, but also remember that when people send you HypePoints for your ebook that act will show up on their Facebook wall too, which adds promotional value as well as some small monetary value. Anyway, you raise some good issues and we will consider them. Thanks!
Nov 7 2011------------------
Using HypePoints for charities is something we are thinking about and it is encouraging that you thought of it too. Thank you for your feedback!
Nov 7 2011------------------
We are strongly considering moving the FAQ to a more prominent position and are going to try and improve the How it works page. We will consider your other inputs as well as we continue to tweak and improve the site from its simple beginnings. Thank you for your honest feedback!
Nov 8 2011------------------
I already missed my second 21st, but will remember that for my third! We agree that this concept can be stretched in a lot of directions, which is one of the reasons we are hopeful. Thanks again for the great feedback!
Nov 8 2011------------------
Thanks for the feedback. We are working on several areas, but mostly on improving the top page experience. More to follow…
Nov 8 2011------------------
Lots of great feedback! Thanks! I especially likes the part in which you ask us to consider the emotional aspect of this site, which we had considered but that we probably need to spend more time thinking about.
I also liked the idea of showing and highlighting results and making feedback easier. Some important things for us to ponder. Thanks again!
Nov 10 2011------------------
Sometimes one's biggest critic is also one's closest friend. After reading a lot of comments and ideas, ir was your comments that have turned out to be the most useful as they sparked an idea on what we have to do next. Many thanks for taking time to write us and, even though you don't really want to sign up, I would be very happy to send you free points if you do as a way to say thanks! Who knows, you might also find that you like our site and that you can assist us again in the future. Either way, thanks again for taking time to help up this time!

Joe Fyfe
Summer 2007 — Textile Paintings
While researching his article on Josephsohn for the renowned American art magazine «Art in America», the New Yorker Joe Fyfe also arrived in the Kesselhaus Josephsohn in the Sitterwerk at the beginning of the year. What opened up to him here were not only new insights into Josephsohn's oeuvre and his way of working. He - himself a visual artist - was also impressed by the conditions that exist in the guest studio in the Sitterwerk. The Sitterwerk in the end made it possible for him to spend three months working here in the summer. During this stay, his text on Josephsohn achieved its final form, to be published in the January 2008 issue of «Art in America». As a painter, Joe Fyfe was engaged with the concentrated colors of the textiles that he had brought with him from his stay in Cambodia and with which he painted his images on canvas here.

As the definitions imply, taxonomy can be something quite hard to explain, yet is fundamental to how we understand our world. Rebecca handily used cake as a medium to clear it all up!
The eagle-eyed will have noticed that these Laganum papilio are all different. On the left we have the subspecies vanilla and cocoa (we enter trinominal nomenclature now!) – they are the same, but different. For example, the Amur tiger is Panther tigris altaica, whereas the Sumatran Tiger is Panther tigris sumatrae – both tigers, but of different subspecies, in this case due to their geography.
But what would happen if Laganum papilio vanilla had little caterpillars with Laganum papilio cocoa? Because they are subspecies, they are able to breed, and so we move to the cakes on the right. Here the X shows that they are hybrids! So Laganum papilio vanilla X L. p. cocoa is a mix of characteristics between a vanilla butterfly cake and a chocolate one.
*As it is a name, the first letter is capitalised. It is also traditional for taxonomic names to be written in italics.

Proponents of a new recreation facility in Orland Park have been campaigning door-to-door in recent weeks to persuade residents to cast their vote in favor of a $15 million proposal on Tuesday's ballot.
"We think if they're educated, they're going to vote for it. (W)e're trying to convince people that it's great for kids and senior citizens," said Lou Valcik, a member of the village's Recreation Advisory Board. "It's more than just an athletic center. It's recreation in the widest sense of the word."

After you redo an old wood floor or install a new one the exposed grain has to be protected. There are two basic choices: penetrating sealers and surface sealers. Both require careful prep work and application--two reasons for the increasing popularity of prefinished floors. On the other hand, those thin laminates can't withstand refinishing like more substantial 3/4-inch strip-oak flooring, which can absorb several makeovers.
Here is a look at the basic finishing and sealing options. But before you or your contractor tackles this job, check the finish manufacturer's instructions and cautions. Most require application in a well-ventilated area, while others may, for some people, cause skin irritation and other health concerns.

There are two sides to this discussion and the results of the discussion are something that I find fascinating.
On one side we have those who feel that it is vital that we give people the tools to get ahead in life.
On the other side we have those who feel it is vital that we make sure people have the necessities of life.
There are valid points to both arguments and there are fallacies in both arguments.
This is not a black and white, all or nothing issue.
We need to make sure people have the necessities of life, while at the same time we work to give them the tools to get ahead in life.
Doing either one without the other will almost always result in failure. The reason being that doing one without the other will almost always leave the job only half done.
We can teach a person all the tools we want to fend for themselves, but if we do not get them enough food, for the night, or a place to sleep, or the mental or financial help they need to sustain themselves until they can get working and making an income, then all the work we do teaching them is wasted.
On the other hand we can give a person all the food, clothes, housing, money and even health care we want, but unless we teach them how to find work (or even train them in a new field if necessary) then we will simply end up having to do this forever.
One of the major failures of all the programs that are out there to help people is that the vast majority of the programs focus only on one aspect of helping a person out. Each program needs to be doing or enabling both aspects of giving a person a hand as without both programs, neither program can work in a vacuum.

An Icelandic musician once told me a theory for how his remote northerly country, with its tiny population of 300,000, is able to produce such an inordinate number of interesting artists.
"On a small island like ours," he said, "a photographer can't afford to only take landscapes."
His point was that Icelandic artists tend to muck in, creatively speaking. Whether it's a world-famous pop star trying out an orchestral score or the local brass band leader organising a John Cage happening, "you can't get too precious in a community where everyone knows your family," the musician explained. "Maybe that gives us freedom. Maybe it means we aren't afraid of trying stuff, even if it might not work out."
It's little wonder that Tectonics originated in Iceland. The festival's name is inspired by that great collision of fault lines running a cleft through the country's vast lunar interior. There's also the Ilan Volkov connection: the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra's brilliantly gung-ho principal guest conductor and Tectonics founder also happens to be chief conductor of the Iceland Symphony Orchestra.
Then there's the ethos of the thing. Tectonics aims to open up an orchestra and its concert hall to artists and audiences from outside the "classical" sphere. Its three-day programme - which takes over Glasgow's City Halls and Old Fruitmarket this weekend - is a quietly radical, non-hierarchical platform for experimentation and genre recalibration: in other words, there's more than a touch of the Icelandic about it.
Take this year's closing concert, which contains the first-ever orchestral work by a great lone wolf of unbrandable music-making. Richard Youngs is an artist who (to flog the Icelandic metaphor) is willing to explore every potential angle of any potential photograph. Just look at his discography: he has well over 100 releases to his name, each one as capriciously individual as the rest. From the brazen bizarreness of Lake to the raw soulfulness of Sapphie to the jagged austerity of River Through Howling Sky, the only thing that seems to unify his mind-boggling output is its sense of unbridled commitment.
Youngs happily admits that he doesn't have much experience with orchestral music, though as a teenager he did come across Stockhausen, Satie and Xenakis in among his diet of anarco-punk industrialism and mid-period Pink Floyd. "Basically I'd lap up whatever was on the Open University's 6am slot," he tells me over a coffee near his flat in the West End of Glasgow. "This was the late 1970s in small-town Hertfordshire: you had to really hunt for interesting things. If you were young and intense you could commit yourself to the OU's unsociable hours."
Around the age of 15 he acquired his first cassette tape recorder and was off, delving down the highways and byways of experimental music-making. Youngs is perhaps the only person to have been physically removed from an open session at St Albans Folk Club, after having repeated two guitar chords for 15 minutes straight (he can still remember the words of the club's chairman as he was escorted off stage: "I think that did him more good than it did us"). At university he studied philosophy then trained to be a maths teacher, but was dispirited by the unimaginative parameters of both courses and didn't stick to either.
All the while he recorded music with a torrential, boundlessly eclectic zeal. "I've got no attention span whatsoever," he says. "That's why I never stick to one thing. I think that our culture is prejudiced against people who don't stick to one thing. You try out something new and people say 'Come on, you can't be serious'. I am so serious - but at the same time it's all great fun. While I'm doing something I am totally into it, but I can always walk away and watch the Champions League. I'm quite slap-dash that way." Which neatly describes his contribution to Tectonics, too.
It was a midlife crisis and an oversized poster that did it. A couple of years ago, Youngs was experiencing what he calls "an illogical nostalgia" for the music of his youth - in particular the short, sharp, hyper-charged rhythm known as D-beat.
"I was rediscovering the joys of bands such as Discharge. When I was a kid, there was a guy in my town who had the highest spiked hair I'd ever seen and the entire lyrics of Discharge's Mania For Conquest on the back of his leather jacket. He was a bit older than me and I thought he was very impressive."
Youngs never achieved the hairstyle ("I didn't know the requisite technology; I was quite naive") but the allure of D-beat evidently lodged and in 2013 he recorded a Discharge-inspired album called Barbed Wire Explosion In The Kingdom Of Atlantis.
Soon after, he was walking down Byres Road and saw a BBC SSO poster featuring Ilan Volkov. "I thought, 'What about an orchestral version of D-beat?' The idea was interesting, hilarious and absurd. I thought, 'If anyone could make it happen, Ilan could.'" Volkov responded within 10 minutes of Youngs sending the email. "He said the idea was perfect for this festival called Tectonics. It was a huge leap of faith."
For Youngs, the prospect of writing a fully-scored, BBC-commissioned work for symphony orchestra was as left-field as anything he'd done. He borrowed library books on orchestration and set to work, writing out the D-beat rhythm for symphonic percussion section and devising horn lines out of D-beat band names (Disobey and Discontent spelled in repeated patterns across the musical stave). The viola part consists of screaming guitar feedback transcribed into notation.
About 12 minutes into the piece, Youngs himself takes a guitar solo. "I just hit it," he says, "like a sonic equivalent of brutalist architecture." And that's the piece: 15 minutes of D-beat rhythms, howling feedback, encoded band names and an almighty explosion.
Volkov will conduct the premiere on Sunday in the Old Fruitmarket, with the BBC SSO strings scattered among the crowd, the brass on the balcony and the percussion on stage. Youngs doesn't seem concerned about whether it all syncs up.
"The piece is called Past Fragments Of Distant Confrontation," he points out. "It isn't meant to sound perfect."
Tectonics runs in Glasgow from Friday to Sunday

Breathe? Plus: When is Mercury Out of Retrograde?
I am running from dropping off my daughter at school (having blow-dried my hair! -- okay, I just did the front -- because I have a photo shoot today). It is raining. I was in such a hurry to grab a cab so that I won't be late to the office (while looking for said cab, hair got drenched anyway -- ah, who cares?). Then I just tumbled down two steps onto the pavement running to the cab a block away and skinned my knee and both hands.
What's really going on: technologically, things have been very screwy these last days, which has been hindering my work. I know, again, who really cares? HOWEVER, I really want my writers and editors to get their bonuses that are based on how well the site is doing, so when tech stuff hinders it at all, I am not in control and that makes me feel crazy and then I do things like fall down steps in the rain onto an NYC street. Fun! It seriously could/can be fun if I look at it that way. Anyway, when is mercury back to wherever it doesn't do this stuff and has it been affecting you too? Ow.


text: Does anyone know if OpenGL provides any functionality to tesselate or de-tesselate a mesh? That is, to automatically add or remove detail from a mesh? I'm asking this because I want to use a less detailed model of an object when it's farther away since you can't see the deatil anyway. Do I have to resort to the brute force method of creating and loading multiple version of the same model and picking the one to use based on the distance? If so, isn't there ANY automated way to add/remove detail from a mesh without having to totally remodel the thing? Thanks!

You put away the Valentine's candy and put on the Valentine's pounds. Now it's time to face The Six Truths About Relationships That Nobody Ever Admits:
1. When you enter your next relationship, you become the person you split up with. Were you the parsimonious one, always pinching pennies and putting quarters in meters? Were you low on tips and tight on taxi fares? In your next relationship, you'll be giving 20s to the maitre d' and springing for indoor parking at the airport.

NYCC '10 | BOOM! teams with MyDigitalComics.com for digital distribution
BOOM! Studios sent out the first of several press releases that are expected today on their digital initiatives, as they announced BOOM! titles will now be available on MyDigitalComics.com.
Titles will be priced at $1.99 and will be available in MyDigitalComics.com's "new page flipper format that fans everywhere can read on a either Mac or PC" — basically allowing you to open a comic in a web browser and flip through the pages. They've got some sample BOOM! books up there now on their free products page if you want to see for yourself. The site currently offers comics from a handful of publishers, including Top Cow and Dynamite, in the PDF and CBZ formats as well, but it looks like BOOM!'s titles will be limited to that one format.
BOOM! books currently on the site include issues of 28 Days Later, CBGB, Die Hard and Irredeemable, among others. The release says their entire catalog will eventually be available from the site.
I believe MyDigitalComics is run by the same folks who run Discount Comic Book Service and InStockTrades, popular sites that respectively offer deeply discounted advanced comics ordering and discounted trade paperbacks.
