To many in higher education they see problems as nails and testing as the only hammer in our kit. Yet we stand at a time where we can re-mediate assessment using new technologies and old definitions of what it means to learn.
I serve on the Tech Fluency (TF) affinity group at Southern Connecticut State College. TF is a tier one competency in our liberal education program (our general ed program but with more hoops and loftier goals). The goals is to ensure all students have the minimum tech skills they will require after college. In our current (permanent) budget crisis we have been asked to review the effectiveness of LEP.
We developed a series of rubrics instructors could use in their classroom. The newly appointed LEP assessment committee decide our approach was "too subjective." They suggested a common task, filling out a spreadsheet was their recommendation, that students could complete in a controlled and supervised environment.
This set me off. I responded (probably with not enough to delay and too much acerbic snark) with some of the following comments.
Objective Assessments are a Hoax

I am not anti-testing. Most of my research revolves around item design and testing. Yet I think what set me off was the belief that some assessments are objective. Those who rely on standard measures ignore the bias inherent in statistical models and deciding as "what counts as learning." They look at rubric scored items as being "too subjective" yet ignore the error variance, the noise in their models. I say bring the noise. It is in outliers where we see interesting methods and learning.
Technology Assessment Lack Ecological Validity
Students Should Drive Assessment
Purpose of Assessment
I also took issue with the the purpose of our assessment. If the goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of our LEP program then why is our gut reaction to assess each student individually.

This pulled pork recipe works really well with turkey. And since we can now get turkey legs and wings at Woollies, I've done this a couple of times. (Without blogging it, oh naughty me.) My slow cooker is not quite big enough to hold them. I always think it looks like something out of the Flintstones. Giant dinosaurian drumsticks. And since it seems probable that birds are dinosaurs, I'm not so wrong.
It's quite simple - skin the legs, and follow the pulled pork recipe. Let it slow cook for six hours or so, turning the drumsticks occasionally - especially if any bits are sticking up above the liquid as they are in this picture. Cool it down, and then pull all the meat off the bones - note that turkey has some extra cartilage struts compared to chicken. Defat the stock if needed, and return the pulled-apart meat to the tomato/vinegar sauce.
I varied it this time - I used a third of a bottle of Disaster Bay's chipotle sauce instead of the plain chilli flakes. And I added in a batch of cooked black-eyed beans - it's easier to cook separately. Served with coleslaw and fat slabs of sourdough bread - yummy. The Bloke approved.
(BTW, I'm guessing these turkey hunks from Woollies are not free range. Hmm. Again with the consistency problems.)

We've also been slow cooking this stuff recently. Just before heading off to work, we throw the turkey drumsticks in the slow cooker with lots of fresh garlic, bit of onion, some tomato and seasoning. Around about 10 hours later the things are just melting and our house smells utterly divine :) And it could probably feed half of Canberra.
We like it with a little mungbean sourdough and fresh greens from the garden.
But yup, wish they sold the free range ones!

Ralph A. Dean
Ralph Dean received his undergraduate degree in botany from the University of London (England) in 1980 and his Ph.D. degree in plant pathology from the University of Kentucky in 1986. Following a postdoctoral appointment at the University of Georgia, he joined the plant pathology faculty at Clemson University where he also chaired the interdisciplinary program in genetics and was associate director of the Clemson University Genomics Institute. In 1999, he joined the Department of Plant Pathology at North Carolina State University as a professor. In 2001, he also became the founding director of the Center for Integrated Fungal Research. In 2004, he received the Secretary's Award of Honor from the USDA and the Huxley Memorial Medal from Imperial College, London. In 2005, he was appointed as a William Neal Reynolds distinguished professor in plant pathology. He is currently a senior editor of Molecular Plant Pathology and has served as senior editor of Phytopathology. He has served on numerous USDA and NSF grants panels.
Dean has established an internationally recognized research program. He has done this through his creativity, a vision for the future direction of science, and strong leadership. Early on, he chose to focus on Magnaporthe grisea, the rice blast fungus, as his experimental system based on the economic importance of this pathogen and its tractable genetics. At the time, few researchers, other than those in industry, were conducting fundamental studies on this organism. In his initial work, Dean conducted elegant studies on the infection process by the fungus that led to the identification of a cAMP-dependent kinase signaling cascade necessary for infection-related development and penetration of the host tissue. Further research showed that this signaling pathway was absolutely necessary for pathogenicity and involves communication between the host and the pathogen. Dean was among the first to embrace genomic approaches for the advancement of our understanding of plant pathogenesis and is widely recognized as a leader in the microbial genomics community. Again, he chose M. grisea as the focus of his principle genomic efforts. As new tools for genomic analysis became available, Dean was quick to realize their power for understanding the complex interactions between two organisms. He embraced these tools and set out to sequence the genome of M. grisea, starting with chromosome 7. Through his determination and leadership, he obtained funding from the USDA and NSF to complete the entire sequence of M. grisea. These endeavors led to the release of the complete sequence and genomic organization in an article in Nature in 2005. He also has played a leading role in decoding the rice genome. His most recent efforts have focused on a functional analysis of the interaction between rice and the rice blast fungus, employing gene expression profiling, large-scale mutagenesis, and proteomics approaches to define the transcriptional networks governing the host–pathogen interaction.
Dean's portfolio includes a truly exceptional publication record of over 50 refereed publications and numerous book chapters and reviews in prestigious journals. The distinctive characteristic of the quality of his publication portfolio is that 11 of these publications each have over 50 citations. While some of these publications document his leadership in fungal genomics, many document his substantial contributions to understanding the molecular basis of fungal development, using appressorium development as a model, and his willingness to share expertise with applied programs. While he receives most of his recognition for his work with M. grisea, he has additional genomics projects on fungi of industrial importance such as Trichoderma and Aspergillus and is also identifying host genes for resistance to Fusarium in cucurbits. He was also issued patents for a fungal diagnostic assay as well as for detection of a disease resistance gene. Evidence of his prominence in the genomics field is his position on the steering group for the Fungal Genome Initiative hosted by the Whitehead Institute that is partially supported by the Human Genome Initiative at NIH. He is also a lead member of the International Rice Blast Initiative. Dean has supervised 19 graduate students and 15 post-doctoral fellows, several of whom hold faculty positions at leading research universities.
In addition to his core research activities, funded from a variety of federal and industrial sources, Dean is also engaged in departmental responsibilities as well as local outreach programs. He is frequently called upon by university officials to represent the university in genomics issues. He and his research group have developed an innovative outreach program on genomics that is coordinated by Science House, an educational outreach program at NC State. This includes programs for students and teachers. Dean's research group is also active in exhibits such as the genomics program at the NC Museum of Natural History and at the NC State Fair. One of the most innovative outreach programs developed by Dean and his group is the Summer College for Biotechnology and the Life Sciences (SCIBLS). SCIBLS is an opportunity for talented high school students to learn about molecular biology through hands on experience with cutting edge techniques and to interact with college students and faculty on a daily basis. In addition to experiencing the university environment, students tour research facilities in the nearby Research Triangle Park where they hear first hand about careers in science. Dean has developed a world class research program that has received accolades at all levels and is distinguished by a novel outreach program. These attributes all warrant his receipt of the Fellow Award from The American Phytopathological Society.

Thanks for your support!
We've reached our goal of 600 people.
I pledge to take part in protests and acts of peaceful mischief at Heathrow Airport on November the 19th if at least 100 other people join me.

DONE! On Nov 19th I will join Rising Up! and at least 100 people in an action at Heathrow Airport, demanding that climate change and air pollution are fully considered by the Government when defining transport and aviation policy. We cannot allow the environmental and social consequences of aviation to be ignored. "Climate crisis is a racist crisis". This action carries a significant risk of arrest - I am willing to put myself on the line to fight climate change. TARGET REACHED- PLEASE SHARE!
We'd like 125 people.
We have reached 106 of 125.
DONE! I pledge to participate in a communications blockade of Heathrow Airport on Nov 19th to say #StayGrounded - no airport expansion, if at least 50 people join me. This will involve telephoning specific numbers, accessing specific webpages and posting on social media like Facebook and twitter (whichever I am confident in and in a specific time slot or slots to suit me). I do this as part of a wider set of actions taking place at Heathrow on that day so people across the UK and world can say no to climate changing aviation expansion.

We'd like 50 people.
We have reached 47 of 50.
A write up of the Kings College Climate Emergency, which was a successful campaign in 2017 facilitated by Roger Hallam, who co-designed Rising Up!
Success may be due to:
- The power of decentralised (post consensus) decision making as a way of releasing radical innovation.
- The power of rapid escalations of "illegal" direct actions which take nonviolent direct action (NVDA) to new heights not seen in the recent past.
- The power of maintaining an open and positive attitude to the opposition in order to more easily facilitate "a win" from the campaign.
Excellent, we have reached our original target of 15 people.
Let's make this even bigger, we currently have 15 people.

Soleil Moon Frye: I hot-tubbed with Michael Jackson
Punky Brewster star Soleil Moon Frye opened up about hot-tubbing with Michael Jackson when she was only eight years old.
Soleil Moon Frye is best known from her 1980s show Punky Brewster, but the actress and mom of two now has her own parenting blog and has just released a book, Happy Chaos – From Punky to Parenting.
In the book, Frye, 35, talks about raising her kids, daughters Jagger Joseph Blue (yes, that is her daughter's name) and Poet, as well as growing up as a child star.
Frye was on the Today Show talking to Anne Curry about her new book and her interesting revelation in the book that she went hot-tubbing with Michael Jackson when she was only eight years old!
"So there I was sitting with Michael Jackson, alone in his Jacuzzi, talking about life, love, and the secrets of the world. I was eight years old. Yes, I know you're probably horrified, or at least a little confused as you read this, wondering how in the world I got there," she writes in the book.
She says she met Jackson through Quincy Jones and she and her mom were invited back to his house.
"Michael took my mother and me on a tour of his home. We saw his elaborate costumes encased in glass, his bedroom, all of his knickknacks, and his stunning recording studio ... We watched Willy Wonka, and Michael and I sat next to each other. He had a way of speaking as if he were a child, too," she said.
She admitted to Curry: "I didn't realize how strange it was then."

Jon Heaton, a vice president in the golf division of International Management Company (IMG), became the latest to leave the shrinking giant firm. He gave notice July 4 that he would be leaving the company, according to Golfweek.
Heaton, who managed Steve Stricker and Annika Sorenstam for the firm and represented Luke Donald in the U.S., is the latest big name to leave the firm in the last 14 months. Mark Steinberg departed in May 2011. Jon Wagner, a senior vice president, left in May. Vice president Kevin Lynch and Jeff Stacy soon followed.
Heaton is planning to join Steinberg at his current firm, Excel Sports Management.
IMG filed a lawsuit against Heaton in Cuyahoga County (Ohio) Common Pleas Court on July 6 and obtained a temporary restraining order to enforce a non-compete clause in Heaton's contract.
Heaton is expected to be added to a lawsuit IMG initially filed in May against Wagner asking the same court to bar the departed employee from representing their IMG clients or competing against the Cleveland-based agency at their new firms. Lynch and Stacy were added after they announced their intention to leave.
Pertaining to the Wagner suit, a pre-trial hearing is scheduled for July 10 related to allegations Wagner defied the temporary restraining order placed against him when he was photographed speaking with former client Trevor Immelman at a corporate event at CordeValle near San Jose on the Monday after the U.S. Open.
Sorenstam has told IMG she will remain with the firm, which has shifted its focus to event management over the last decade. Stricker's plans are unknown.
Donald, currently ranked No. 1 in the world, will perhaps be most impacted by Heaton's departure and ensuing legal battle. Sponsorship deals with Mizuno, Titleist and Royal Bank of Canada are all set to expire at the end of the year.

Welcome to my website, new as of August 2006. Originally the site was intended to showcase my experience and skills as editor and publisher. However, the writing took over.
As you will find, if you read through the work presented here and perhaps scan the database of my published and prize-winning work, the writing always takes over. That is what makes a writer.
On the other hand, the writer also needs a life – or you would have nothing to write about, and no money to support your addiction to words, words, and more words. I have worked many different jobs, from apple-picker to doctor's receptionist, from astrologer to teacher-librarian. For the last ten years I have focussed on editing and publishing some of the very best of Tasmania's authors.
I hope you enjoy this chance to look into the life of a writer who also is an editor and publisher.

College Football Week 1: Don't Believe the QB Hype
This Year's Crop of First-Year Starters Just as Likely to Produce Shaky Performers
Athens, Ga.—It's no secret that college football is a sport that is beholden to its traditions.
How else to explain the abundance of time-honored rituals, like Rocky Top, Touchdown Jesus or that thing where the Oregon Duck rides a Harley-Davidson.
But lately, it seems that one of college football's most sacred customs may be headed the way...

I bought a Ram,3500, mega cab dually from Edwin, and BJ. They treated me awesome and have stood behind it 100 percent! They always have really clean and nice trucks. They always have good prices! You can't go wrong with them!
I had a great experience purchasing a truck from this dealer! They were very friendly and helpful. The vehicles they have on their lot all look amazing and I love the Tacoma I purchased from them. They even assisted me with trouble shooting my HID headlights that were not quite acting right the night after I took the truck home. I couldn't have asked for a better experience while purchasing from a dealer.
My husband and I bought a Sequoia from there! They are a great group of guys, and will not rip you off. They are just trying to make a honest living. We normally only used dealerships but they changed our look. And we will be back for our future car buying!
I delt with Edwin. He is absolutely awesome! He made sure everything as smooth as possible. He bent over backwards to help me out during my purchase AND after the purchase. The most honest and trustworthy guys I know. I will definitely be telling everyone who is looking for a vehicle to check them out. I will be purchasing my next truck from them! Thanks again Edwin!
Loving my new baby
A great effortless transaction. Flew down from Chicago to pick up a 2011 Jaguar. Bj picked me up at the airport, and in less than an hour, I was on the road home. The car was every bit the cream puff I thought it would be. BJ was very accommodating, and very fair with out the door pricing. They seem like honest and fair businessmen. I recommend Lakeside Imports for a good fair experience. Thank you BJ.
"Awesome dealership!"
We had yet another great experience with Lakeside Imports. Thank you for being so helpful! My son loves his new truck
Awesome staff and great deal. These guys will work with you and have a great selection. Love my 4runner!
BJ and Edwin at Lakeside Auto are two of the most helpful and "bend over backwards" type guys I've ever had the pleasure of working with. I've purchased two vehicles from them and will certainly go back when I'm in the market for another. They make sure all aspects of the deal are transparent and are there to help every step of the way: before, during AND after purchase. Thanks guys!
Awesome experience! If you're in the market for a nice used vehicle, I recommend them. Ask for BJ or Edwin. They are great. They will go out of their way to make sure you find a vehicle to meet your wants and needs within your price range. I will be using them in the future.
What a great experience buying at Lakeside Imports! Huge thank you!

Shawnadithit (also known as Nance or Nancy April), the last Beothuk (born circa 1800-6 in what is now NL; died 6 June 1829 in St. John's, NL). Shawnadithit's record of Beothuk culture continues to shape modern understandings of her people. In 2007, the federal government announced the unveiling of a Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada plaque recognizing Shawnadithit's importance to Canadian history.
Historical Context: Disappearance of the Beothuk
Shawnadithit was Beothuk, an Indigenous people who once lived in what is now Newfoundland. With the establishment of more permanent European settlement on their territory in the 18th century, the Beothuk increasingly found themselves forced onto smaller areas of land, where their access to food and traditional resources was reduced. Tuberculosis, and other diseases brought by the Europeans to North America, significantly reduced the Beothuk population. So too did conflict. In one noted instance in March 1819, Shawnadithit observed European traders capture her aunt, Demasduwit (also spelled Demasduit), and murder her uncle, Nonosbawsut (or Nonosabusut), at Red Indian Lake, in the western interior of Newfoundland. (See also Slavery of Indigenous Peoples in Canada.)
Sick and starved, the Beothuk died out in 1829 with the death of Shawnadithit. While some claim that the Beothuk escaped total extinction by marrying into other Indigenous nations, such as the Mi'kmaq, these theories do not negate the legacy of Shawnadithit as a record keeper of Beothuk history.
Shawnadithit and the Europeans
In April 1823, Shawnadithit, her mother and her sister, all starving, were captured by English furriers at Badger Bay and taken to St. John's by merchant and magistrate John Peyton Jr. There, the women were supposed be placed under the care of Governor Charles Hamilton. However, he was in England at the time of their arrival and, because the women were in poor health, Captain David Buchan, who was acting on Hamilton's behalf, decided to release them, after first ensuring they received medical attention. Given gifts to present to their people — peace offerings — Peyton left them at Charles Brook, located on the western side of the Bay of Exploits and north of Exploits River. Shawnadithit and her family searched but could not locate any surviving Beothuk in the area. During this time, the health of Shawnadithit's mother and sister worsened. They soon died, likely the result of complications from tuberculosis. All alone, Shawnadithit was taken into the home of John Peyton Jr. at Exploits, where she worked as a household assistant for five years. It was there that English settlers renamed her Nance or Nancy April.
Recording Beothuk History
In 1828, Shawnadithit was brought to the Beothuk (then spelled "Boeothick") Institution in St. John's, an organization formed the year prior as a means of protecting what remained of Beothuk culture. Listening to Shawnadithit speak about her people, the institution's president, William Eppes Cormack, recorded valuable information about the language and customs of the Beothuk. (See also Indigenous Languages in Canada.) Shawnadithit also drew valuable sketches of Beothuk settlements, tools and people, as well as maps of territory. (See also Indigenous Territory.) Her record remains some of the only information about the Beothuk.
Sick with tuberculosis, Shawnadithit died on 6 June 1829. She was buried in a cemetery in St. John's. Her skull was sent for scientific research to London, England, where it is believed to have been destroyed during the Second World War.

BKIC posts record net profit of $11m
Manama, February 8, 2011
Bahrain-based Bahrain Kuwait Insurance Company (BKIC) achieved a net profit of BD4.1 million ($10.9 million) last year compared to BD4 million in 2009.
Chairman Abdulla Buhindi announced that the board, at its meeting yesterday, proposed a cash dividend of 35 per cent representing 35 fils per share to the shareholders subject to the approval at the annual general meeting.
He said that the company still maintains its leadership in Bahrain's market, and that the profit for 2010 has been the best ever since the company started its operations.
Total assets have recorded an increase of 4 per cent from BD79 million in 2009 to BD82 million in 2010. Shareholder's equity registered an increase of 12 per cent from BD24 million to BD27 million.
The liquid funds increased from BD25 million to BD28 million.
The company has achieved a return on shareholders' funds of 15 per cent for the year. Book value per share has increased from 375 fils to 421 fils.
Net profit for the fourth quarter amounted to BD806,534, compared to BD293,940 for the same period in 2009.
Buhindi said that the company has recently completed purchase of a new 11-storey building in Seef District to serve as the head office.
'The company has achieved an increase of 3 per cent in the gross premium revenue from BD31.8 million in 2009 to BD33.4 million,' said chief executive Ebrahim Al Rayes.
'The underwriting profit increased to BD3.9 million in 2010 compared with BD3.8 million in 2009.
'Investment income recorded a decrease of about 19 per cent to BD781,000 due to all-time low interest rates, declining trend of dividends and additional provisions for impairment of investments made by the company,' he added.
Al Rayes said that he was very pleased with these results despite the more difficult and competitive market environment in Bahrain and Kuwait.
He added that the board had approved the business plan the company formulated for three years to 2013.
It includes the introduction of new products, increased distribution channels and improved service quality, he said, and hoped that the implementation of the plan will help the company fulfil its objectives and retain its current position. – TradeArabia News Service

|Additional details:
NTSB descriptionOn October 11, 1992, at 2030 Alaska standard time, a wheel equipped Piper, PA 28 180 airplane, N16275, crashed into trees one mile east of mile marker 131 of the Parks Highway, which is located 11 miles north of Talkeetna, Alaska. The airplane was registered to H and H Air Services of Anchorage, Alaska, and was rented by the Pilot in Command. The personal flight, operating under 14 CFR Part 91, last departed Fairbanks, Alaska, at 1830 on a visual flight rules flight plan and the destination was Merrill Field in Anchorage. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the departure point and the destination; however, there were reported areas of instrument meteorological conditions en route. The airplane was destroyed by impact forces, and the Pilot in Command and the three passengers were fatally injured.
Preliminary examination of the wreckage shows that the left outboard 4 feet of wing and the left stabilator were located 3/8 of a mile west of the main airplane wreckage.
This airplane was reported missing on October 11, 1992, at 2248 Alaska standard time and was located on May 22, 1993. The previous preliminary report number was ANC93FAMS2.

Dateline: Belgium—A woman is finally being allowed to take the physical portion of her driver's license test after failing the written portion 37 times in a row. The 38th time was the charm for the woman, who finally passed the exam last month. The woman, unnamed due to Belgian privacy laws, had paid approximately $15 in fees for each of her previous attempts. She told Belgian newspaper Het Laatse Niews that she blames her string of failures on "nerves," but says she believes she will pass the driving test with flying colors. That remains to be determined.
Dateline: China—A chain-smoking chimp at the Qinling Safari Park is finally getting that monkey off her back. According to keepers at the park, located in the Shaanxi province, it took only four weeks for the 27-year-old Ai Ai to break her cigarette habit using a step-down process. After noticing that her health was beginning to deteriorate, the handlers used a number of methods to slowly divert the chimp from cigarettes. A walk after breakfast, music session after lunch and gym after dinner were among the tactics. "In the first few days, she squealed for cigarettes every now and then, but as her life became more colorful, she gradually forgot about them altogether," one zookeeper told the Xinhua news agency. Ai Ai started smoking cigarette butts she picked up off the ground shortly after her first male companion died in 1989. She took up chain-smoking in 1997 out of loneliness and grief when her second companion died and a daughter was moved to another zoo. Zoo visitors contributed to her bad habit, tossing lit cigarettes into the famous chimp's cage on a regular basis.
Dateline: Denmark—Santa Claus has successfully sued the Danish Air Force after several of his reindeer died of fright from some wayward jet fighters. The Danish Air Force said last Thursday it has agreed to pay out $5,000 in compensation to a part-time Santa Claus whose reindeer died of heart failure after two F-16 jets passed over Olaf Nikkanoff's grazing farm in central Denmark this past February. Several of the reindeer collapsed and died, leaving Nikkanoff with only one animal to pull his sleigh this year. He complained to the Air Force, which agreed to compensate him for the cost of the reindeer and veterinary expenses. "We got a letter from Santa complaining about his reindeer's death and are looking into it seriously," Air Force spokesperson Capt. Moarten Jensen said. An investigation into the planes' flight paths proved that they were responsible for the deaths. Nikkanoff said he would use the money to purchase new reindeer in time for the busy Christmas season.
Dateline: Germany—A company has come up with a novel way to beat the smoking ban in bars. German beer maker Nautilus is currently test-marketing NicoShot, a beer that contains 6.3 percent alcohol and three milligrams of nicotine. Despite the potent mixture of alcohol and nicotine, Nautilus claims that the product will actually help people quit smoking. "It can help you make changes in your lifestyle without having to walk out of the bar for a quick smoke to deal with sudden withdrawal symptoms," the company said in a press release. "Over time, when you are more comfortable being a nonsmoker, the use of nicotine beer can be reduced and then stopped."
Dateline: Pennsylvania—It's gross, but apparently it's profitable. Four used colonoscopes-
Dateline: Georgia—A 61-year-old woman has been arrested and accused of assaulting an Atlanta police officer with her dinner. Beverly Anne Campbell was stopped by an officer when she was seen traveling the wrong way on a one-way street after leaving a community event. Campbell objected and tried to turn the crowd against the officer. When that didn't work, she allegedly threw a plate of chicken wings at him, hit him in the neck with a two-liter bottle of cola and then punched him in the face "several times, leaving visible injuries," the warrant said.
Dateline: California—In an attempt to stem the tide of prison-related underwear theft, the Ventura Sheriff's Department has come up with a bright idea. Starting this fall, underwear handed out at the county jail will be dyed bright orange. The department estimates that it loses some $50,000 a year as inmates get out of jail, taking socks, underwear and T-shirts with them. "We just keep losing horrendous amounts of that property," Kathy Kemp, chief deputy of the Sheriff's Department's detention services division told SFGate.com. It is believed that the orange underwear will now stand out when inmates return their prison-issued orange jumpsuits and change back into their civilian clothes.

Macworld Australia are quite passionate about the NBN if recent comments are to be believed. Many of us rely on our national broadcaster for coverage of important events so it would be somewhat surprising to hear that coverage of the NBN prior to the 2013 federal election might have been stifled, of not outright censored.
The ABC's former Technology and Games editor, Nick Ross, has said during a recent Reddit AMA that he was directed to not publish stories relating to the NBN roll out.
Specifically, Ross researched and wrote an article commenting on the ability of the existing copper network to be used for a high-speed network – revelations that have since been found to be true with significant remediation required to upgrade the copper to support high-speed communications.
During the AMA, Ross said "I recorded subsequent meetings. I've literally got them on tape saying "the NBN is dead and so there's no point in making a fuss" four months before the election and using that as an excuse not to publish the copper article".
This is on the back of pressure and direction, according to Ross, to not publish articles critical of the Liberal/National Party coalition's NBN policy.
This is clearly a very complex debate. Having read Ross' long thesis on the NBN and the subsequent treatment he received on MediaWatch, which found Ross crossed a line between reporting and advocacy, it's clear Ross was passionate about the NBN and took a particular position.
In the AMA, there's also a suggestion the workplace counselling he received, which ought to have been confidential was used against him. He was also not given any right of reply or an opportunity to present his own side of the story following the MediaWatch story.
It's important, in my view, to note that it's not a journalist's responsibility to consider two sides of an argument to be equal. Where one side of an argument is stronger than the other, as supported by research and evidence, it is entirely reasonable for the writer to draw a conclusion.
Did Ross go too far? In my view he may have crossed a line but his research stands up and has been scrutinised by many.
What is of great concern to me is that a media outlet, the state outlet in this case, might have stifled debate and withheld information that was important to the electorate. It's worth noting that in 2013 it was obvious to everyone that a change of government was imminent and previous clashes between Ross and then Communications Minister (and the super-boss of the ABC) Malcolm Turnbull might have impacted the ABC's funding.
It's telling that in three subsequent appearances on the ABC's Q & A program, Turnbull, who subsequently rose to the office of Prime Minister, was not asked once about the NBN.

This is a set of two DVDs designed to help instructors teach official state and provincial wildlife agency trapper education courses. The instructional videos on the DVDs were developed along with, and in support of, the new national trapper education course manual and curriculum we authored for the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. We worked with furbearer biologists, trapper education instructors, and trapping associations to cover all types of legal trapping devices, methods, and best practices.
Silvertip Productions recognizes trapping as a beneficial and essential tool of wildlife management, but it is important for trappers to use safe and responsible trapping techniques. The producer, Jim Wentz, administered one of the nation's largest trapper education programs and taught many classes covering hundreds of trapper education students. The videos on the Trapper Education Video Series DVDs are designed to help instructors be more effective when teaching trapping classes anywhere in North America.
There are 63 selections on the set of Trapper Education DVDs. The easy to use menus allow instructors to navigate to the selections they need to show, in any order.
Covers the basic types of traps, parts, anchoring, tuning, and preparation (footholds, body-gripping, colony traps, box traps, snares, etc.)
Covers the responsibilities trappers have to the resource, landowners, and the general public to reinforce instructor presentations.
Supports the course material on wildlife management with a focus on river otter restoration, showing how trappers and wildlife biologists worked together to bring river otters back to states where they had been extirpated.
Covers the basic steps and techniques for handling furbearers, skinning, fleshing, stretching, and selling pelts. This provides a foundation of knowledge for Disc 2 - Pelt Preparation.
Muskrat Bank Den, Muskrat Lodge Den, Climbout Feedbed, Obstruction Set, Guarded-Stop Loss, Orange Trap sets (several water sets using a blaze orange conibear and foothold for high visibility), Beaver Body-Gripping Set, Cable Devices (snares) for Beaver, Beaver or Otter Set, Double Spring Under ice Set, Otter Body-Gripping Trap Set
Bedding Land Traps, Dirt-Hole Set, Flat Set, Post Set, Cubby Set, Enclosed Foothold Overview, Egg Trap, Duffer's Trap, Lil' Griz Trap
- Land Set Photos
Bucket Set on Ground, Bucket Set on Tree, Body Gripping/Bucket 1, Body-Gripping Bucket 2, Running Pole Set 1, Running Pole Set 2, Body-Gripping Strike, Body-Gripping Box Construction
Arctic fox, badger, beaver, bobcat, Canada lynx, coyote, fisher, gray fox, gray wolf, kit fox, marten, mink, muskrat, nutria, opossum, ringtail, river otter, striped skunk, swift fox, weasels, wolverine
This DVD features six videos to teach trapper education course students how to care for fur and sell it. The videos contain many tips from an expert trapper who has worked in fur houses and graded pelts at fur auctions. Students also learn about different ways to sell fur, from local buyers, to auctions, to traveling furbuyers.
Same as the video on Disc 1 for convenience
These videos will help students understand fur handling from the field to the auction house. How to comb, skin, flesh, stretch and dry the pelts. Where to find the glands that can be used for lure or sold. How furbuyers will grade their pelts. Also information on health concerns, and edible meat from certain furbearers.
Promotes interactive instruction in a way that enhances instructor participation and promotes student understanding. The menu system gives you the flexibility to show what you want to show, and when you want to show it
Captions for the Hearing-Impaired (Use the subtitle button to turn on)
High Resolution and Sharp Freeze Frames (so you can stop the action to explain important points or answer questions)
Shows expert trappers making the sets, checking them, and harvesting muskrats, raccoons, beaver, coyote, bobcat, river otter.
Reduces the amount of equipment you need in the classroom. Students see equipment in use on the trapline or in the fur shed.
Shows many actions you can't show in the classroom: A cat caught in a foothold that was released unharmed; Live captured animals dispatched; River otter restoration; and much more.
Shows scenes from the Ohio State Trappers Association (OSTA) fur auction, the National Trappers Association (NTA) Convention, a traveling buyer, and more. The DVDs promote involvement in trapping organizations and wildlife stewardship.
Click on the first small image to see the larger images in the slide viewer. You will see dozens of screen shots from the Trapper Education Video Series, and many of them are have text explanations.

David Platt always challenges me. The message of "Radical" left me completely bereft of any feeling that I had done all that Christ has called me to, but it also left me a bit at a loss for where to start.
It's not because he personally seems too high above me to listen to. Platt keeps his own struggle in the mix, and I appreciate the honesty with which he relates his own struggles.
Platt has this method or writing where he casts out a big issue and doesn't let you off the hook. When talking about selling all you own, he never says things like, "but that's not for everybody." He's more prone to say, "maybe you should." It leaves you feeling unsettled, uncertain where to go next. It also gets in your head, prompting deep self-examination.
He does this again with "Counter Culture." Where "Radical" was a missional call, "Counter Culture" is a call to a more meaningful life right where we are. Issues which frequently arise in our country– race, gender and sexuality issues, care for the poor — his commentary on these issues is solidly rooted in scripture, but some will probably disagree on individual points. You should stick with it. He's not just talking about ideas, he's talking about engaging real people.
I should say I have a deep respect for the writer. His background as a missionary in countries where Christians must meet in hiding gives him both a deep understanding of issues and a compassion for seekers. He joins us in the challenges he raises. This is from the end of the book:
"I don't want these burdens on my heart to terminate with words on a page. I want these realities to transform the way I live. I don't want to join the chorus of men, women, preachers and prognosticators who are content to wring their hands in pious concern over the plight of our culture while they sit back in practical silence and do little to nothing about it."

MEQUON – Six runs over the first two innings from Benedictine University proved to be enough as the second-seeded Eagles held off Concordia University Wisconsin, 7-5, in rainy conditions at Kapco Park for each team's Northern Athletics Conference opener.
The Eagles built a 6-1 lead after two innings of play but CUW rallied back and had the bases loaded in the top of the ninth but Benedictine held on for the win. The game also featured a 22-minute rain delay before the seventh inning began.
The Falcons (15-26) will now play sixth-seeded Wisconsin Lutheran College tomorrow at 1 p.m. in an elimination game. Every game was pushed back one time slot because the final game Thursday was postponed to Friday morning due to the rainy weather. WLC lost 6-3 in the opening game of the tournament versus No. 1 Concordia University Chicago.
CUW started the contest against BU with a bang as senior Daniel Mueller (West Bend, Wis.) tripled to lead off and sophomore Brandon Seifert (Germantown, Wis.) singled him in, giving the Falcons a 1-0 lead.
Benedictine (31-8) would respond by plating three runs each in the first and second innings of Falcons starter Tyler Adams (Jackson, Wis.). Kevin Hendricks drove in a run in each of the frames, both times bringing in his brother, Tim, the 2013 NAC Position Player of the Year.
The Falcons would trim the BU lead to 6-3 in the top of the fourth when Mueller roped a two-RBI double to the left center field gap, scoring junior Taylor Buuck (Hillsboro, Ore.) and freshman Luke Scheuerlein (Thiensville, Wis.).
That score would remain through the 22-minute rain delay and into the bottom of the eighth inning when the Eagles pushed its lead to 7-4 on a sacrifice fly off the bat of John Cervantes. Cervantes scored Nick Karakosta on his RBI fly out.
CUW made things interesting in the bottom of the ninth as three walks, a hit, and one Benedictine error made the score 7-5 with just one out and the bases loaded. BU would then go to the bullpen for the third time in the game, summoning Ty Anderson who retired both batters he faced for his first save of the season.
Mike Irgang earned the win for Benedictine as he gave a gutsy effort, throwing 148 pitches, coming before and after the delay. Adams took the loss, lasting only 1.2 innings. Sophomores Matthew Brueser (Oconomowoc, Wis.) and Michael Klaver (Germantown, Wis.) threw excellent in relief for CUW as the duo went 6.1 innings, allowing just five hits and one run.
Mueller and Seifert paced the Falcons offensive attack with two hits. Tim Hendricks guided the Benedictine offense with three hits and two runs scored.
Benedictine advances to the 4 p.m. game Friday where they will take on No. 3 Aurora University, which defeated No. 4 Rockford College 1-0 in the second contest Thursday. Four games are scheduled Friday at Kapco Park, with three now being guaranteed Saturday.

Speech API:
It is NOT possible to get additional quota for Chrome's Speech API. Look at the Cloud Speech API instead. Do NOT post to any Chromium groups/mailing lists for questions about the Speech API. This page is about building Chromium. If you have arrived on this page to try to get API keys for some other purpose, you should not follow the instructions on this page. Do NOT post to any Chromium groups/mailing lists to ask how to get quota for an API. The section "Getting Keys for Your Chromium Derivative" below has the same answer you will get from the list.
Some features of Chromium use Google APIs, and to access those APIs, either an API Key or a set of OAuth 2.0 tokens is required. Setting up API keys is optional. If you don't do it, the specific APIs using Google services won't work in your custom build, but all other features will run normally.
Googlers only: if you need a new API enabled in chrome, use http://b/new?component=165132
If you build Chromium and Chromium OS yourself setting up API keys is mandatory so that it will allow user login on Chromebooks!
You can specify the API keys to use either when you build Chromium, or at runtime using environment variables. First, you need to acquire keys for yourself.
Software distribution with keys acquired for yourself is allowed, but the keys themselves cannot be shared with parties outside the legal entity that accepted the API ToS. Keep in mind that a number of the APIs will have no or very limited quota and not all of the APIs have additional quota available for purchase.
Acquiring Keys
If any of these APIs are not shown, recheck step 1.
If you are building Chromium yourself, you can provide keys as part of your build configuration, that way they are always baked into your binary.
Specify three variables in your args.gn file (which you can edit by running
gn args out/your_out_dir_here)
google_api_key = "your_api_key"
google_default_client_id = "your_client_id"
google_default_client_secret = "your_client_secret"
Providing Keys at Runtime
If you prefer, you can build a Chromium binary (or use a pre-built Chromium binary) without API keys baked in, and instead provide them at runtime. To do so, set the environment variables GOOGLE_API_KEY, GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_ID and GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_SECRET to your "API key", "Client ID" and "Client secret" values respectively.
On Chromium OS to specify the keys as environment variables append them to the end of /etc/chrome_dev.conf:
Getting Keys for Your Chromium Derivative
Many of the Google APIs used by Chromium code are specific to Google Chrome and not intended for use in derived products. In the API Console (http://developers.google.com/console) you may be able to purchase additional quota for some of the APIs listed above. For APIs that do not have a "Pricing" link, additional quota is not available for purchase.

CVE-2009-0269: Linux eCryptFS off-by-one Underflow
This is a common off-by-one overflow case which is known to almost any code auditor. The issue we'll discuss here affects Linux kernel up to 126.96.36.199 release and it was disclosed by Duane Griffin on 22 December 2008. eCryptfs is a POSIX-compliant cryptographic filesystem. The next code snippets were taken from Linux kernel 2.6.28 release and the vulnerability is located on the source code responsible for following symbolic links in an eCryptFS filesystem. To be more specific, here is the vulnerable code as seen at fs/encryptfs/inode.c:
659 static void *ecryptfs_follow_link(struct dentry *dentry, struct nameidata *nd) 660 { 661 char *buf; 662 int len = PAGE_SIZE, rc; 663 mm_segment_t old_fs;
This function is invoked when the filesystem is asked to follow a symbolic link file. Here I found it useless to use a signed integer (len) to store size for allocation but since this is out of the scope of this vulnerability I'm going to move on and describe the function.. So, it continues like this:
664 665 /* Released in ecryptfs_put_link(); only release here on error */ 666 buf = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL); 667 if (!buf) { 668 rc = -ENOMEM; 669 goto out; 670 }
Just allocate some space (PAGE_SIZE) and check the return value. Notice the missing check for ZERO_PTR_SIZE but it is impossible to make len equal to zero so this is not anything important. Next..
671 old_fs = get_fs(); 672 set_fs(get_ds()); 673 ecryptfs_printk(KERN_DEBUG, "Calling readlink w/ " 674 "dentry->d_name.name = [%s]\n", dentry->d_name.name);
Fix the current filesystem registers and print a debugging message which includes the symbolic link to be followed and then:
675 rc = dentry->d_inode->i_op->readlink(dentry, (char __user *)buf, len); 676 buf[rc] = '\0'; 677 set_fs(old_fs); 678 if (rc < 0) 679 goto out_free;
Using a function pointer at line 675 call readlink(2) and append the contents of dentry to buf, however as everyone knows readlink(2) does not NULL terminate the buffer so at line 676 it NULL terminates it manually. Now, line 678 implies the obvious.. which can be read from the man page of readlink(2):
RETURN VALUE The call returns the count of characters placed in the buffer if it succeeds, or a -1 if an error occurs, placing the error code in errno.
But if readlink() fails the code at line 676 will attempt to write to:
buf[-1] = '\0';
This is a classic off-by-one which is documented at least since 2006 when Ilja van Sprundel wrote on his blog about it. Our case is only vulnerable to an off-by-one underflow according to ilja's post. For completeness, the code ends like this:
680 rc = 0; 681 nd_set_link(nd, buf); 682 goto out; 683 out_free: 684 kfree(buf); 685 out: 686 return ERR_PTR(rc); 687 }
And now the question that arises is… How can readlink(2) fail? Oh.. there are plenty of ways to achieve this…
The readlink() system call will fail if: [ENOTDIR] A component of the path prefix is not a directory. [ENAMETOOLONG] A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters, or an entire path name exceeded 1023 characters. [ENOENT] The named file does not exist. [EACCES] Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix. [ELOOP] Too many symbolic links were encountered in translat- ing the pathname. [EINVAL] The named file is not a symbolic link. [EIO] An I/O error occurred while reading from the file sys- tem. [EFAULT] The buf argument extends outside the process's allo- cated address space. In addition to the errors returned by the readlink(), the readlinkat() may fail if: [EBADF] The path argument does not specify an absolute path and the fd argument is neither AT_FDCWD nor a valid file descriptor open for searching. [ENOTDIR] The path argument is not an absolute path and fd is neither AT_FDCWD nor a file descriptor associated with a directory.
This means that trigger of this off-by-one is fairly simple. Just create a malicious symbolic link which has at least one of the above properties and use it in a eCryptFS partition. The patch to this bug was:
rc = dentry->d_inode->i_op->readlink(dentry, (char __user *)buf, len); - buf[rc] = '\0'; set_fs(old_fs); if (rc < 0) goto out_free; + else + buf[rc] = '\0'; rc = 0;
Exploitation of such vulnerabilities is not something trivial. As MaXX of synnergy showed on 2001 at phrack #57, exploitation of simple off-by-ones like this one can lead to reliable code execution since heap uses control structures but on the other hand this needs an in depth knowledge of the dynamic memory management allocator used. This might not be simple but it is still exploitable.

The elegant nature of science
The elegant nature of science
I wanted to start a thread where we could post some videos about the beauty of science and nature. There are two videos I want to start off with. Video 1 is simply cool. The second video is a Ted talk that you may recognize as being used in the first video. This is a talk from 2008 by Brian cox about the Large Hadron Collider.
My favorite moments in these videos are 1) The quotes about the universe being composed of 12 particles and 4 forces of nature and 2) the Scientific Creation story that Brian Cox paints. It is beautiful elegant and simple. It nearly brings a tear to my eye when thinking about it.
I must admit to being very emotional at the elegant story that science can tell us about our universe and how we fit in it. I NEVER got this emotional when hearing the biblical story of creation nor the biblical explanations of life, but the beauty of science leaves me in tears.

The story of my creation - kinda - a BBC presentation of four math-types. Just because mathematics ain't science, and science ain't math - can't keep them two apart.

RE: The elegant nature of science
(I wuz thinking the bearded dude started out with some formal stuff - but he started out with melodysheep too! )
And now for something completely different. A man with three... I mean, amateur science.
Ever hear of the story Flatland?. I don't like it, at all. It offends my mathematical sensibilities. Yet, basically, this is how science works - old hypotheses are upgraded with new hypotheses. Here is your upgrade...
Image a sheet of paper. Three dots are placed at the vertices of an imagined equilateral triangle. Now imagine another piece of paper with a single dot centered on the page. Place this sheet atop the first, and what do you get?
Tetrahedron. Not Flatland. In mathematics, "point" is without dimension - and thus beyond illustration. Yet one can do a youtube search of string theory and extra dimensions, and one will find a bunch of Flatland.
My consideration is the Pure Number hypothesis. The depth of the universe is 13.7 billion years; this translates into approximately 10^18 seconds. Multiply that figure by Planck time to get 5.13x10^61, and there we are.
In the bearded dude's video, one sees Brain Cox pointing to the props on the wall talking about alla that stuff is what Hydrogen comes up with in 13.7 billion years; Pure Number may be an even simpler consideration, that the number above represents everything that exists; and that everything that happened since ever is merely the universal count, interfering with itself.
So go come up the equations, and get yerself a Nobel, scientist!
One universe, humans full of duality; and as illustrated by the Standard Model, there seems to be a big difference between 3 and 4. All there is to it.
Man, the master student is fulla sheep today!
I guess I gotta be the formal one here. So crank up some S.O.S. - never a bad plan - and spark your wonder. Then wonder about this - holographic universe - which is not entirely different from Pure Number.
Remember, scientist: Critical thinking. The above video is in "conspiracy-theory" format - pay it no mind, as sensationalism sells - from my research, the holographic universe is a sound hypothesis, just waiting for some equations.
Perusing my linky, it is clear the narrator of the second video has agenda - so do we all - but the "soul" is a misnomer and the indication of agency ant the end of 2 is claptrap - the creator is you.
It is presented here not as answer, but to let the questioning begin.

My last link was from a member of youtube going by the handle secret key activator.
That does not mean, put yer tin-foil hat on, that means keep yer critical thinking cap on. Much in that series of vids is food for thought, yet there is also plenty of empty calories included.
This link comes from that link - these calories will build muscle mass: Geo 600

RE: The elegant nature of science
I can't like your post enough Kim. That video is freaking awesome and is another video that has had a profound impact on my thinking on the universe.
I hope to perpetuate my love for science into the population further, through my teaching. Science and nature are not merely subjects of interest, they are the only subjects that exist. All things occur with the realm of our universe (kind of conceited to call it "ours") and all things behave according to the laws of nature. It is a brilliant concept.
Thank you for the links. They are a bit longer and I will need to dedicate a little more time to them to fully grasp what they say. As for the numbers idea, I will have to mull that over some more. A single number as large as the amount of time that has existed or the amount of matter in the universe is so large that I simply cannot conceive of its dimensions. That is why the statement of everything being made up of only 12 particles of matter and 4 forces of nature is so powerful to me. I can see those numbers, I can conceive of their impact on my life and I can imagine the simplicity of that system that can lead to the observed complexity. By no means am I discrediting your evaluation of a single number representing the universe, I simply do not know how to communicate with my own brain about its significance. You obviously can and I applaud that ability.

Back to School Safety Checklist
Back to school preparations have started, and the Mesothelioma Cancer Alliance (MCA) is looking to keep you and your family safe as you prepare to send children back to school after summer break. Getting back into the school-year routine can be daunting, but preparation is necessary to keep faculty, administrators, teachers, and students safe as they arrive in their classrooms.
Did You Know:
- Asbestos was proven to be found in various brands of crayons.
- Over 700,000 schools and buildings in the United States today contain asbestos insulation as reported by the US Environmental Protection Agency.
- Anyone who works in a particular school or has a child that attends that school has a right to be informed as to the presence of asbestos and how it is being managed.
- Parents have every right to ask to see this management plan and if there is none in place or if the plan is old, school officials should be confronted. If no action is taken to correct the situation, the local EPA should be notified immediately.
We worked with parents to help us create a checklist of tips to make the transition back to school as seamless and safe as possible. Talking to your children about safety is an important step in helping them learn and grow. Whether it's getting to school safely, lessons in personal hygiene, or simply how to respect others, these tips can make the process a learning experience for all involved.
How do you stay safe preparing for back to school? Let us know in the comments! And be sure to share our checklist with your friends, family, and neighbors. And a big thanks to Christa and Kristen for their help in curating these tips!
