Kay Commentary 2012-01-28
The following is a KSCO commentary. Here is Kay Zwerling:
This bewilders me that I have lived so long, but never heard of the Paradoxical Commandments until recently when my friend Marcia told me about them.
Here's the story – evidently the Paradoxical Commandments were written by an 18-year-old named Kent Keith, a freshman at Harvard in 1968. He is probably 60 years old now. The Commandments were later found posted on Mother Teresa's wall in India.
One wonders how an 18-year-old could have the wisdom and depth of understanding of human nature to be so right-on and so humanly generous as Kent Keith was to come up with those mature thoughts. It is like finding meaning in a crazy world, and how many of us humans achieve such wisdom? I wonder, also, how can an 18-year-old have become so disenchanted so early in his life? That is a paradox, too. And, maybe there was a little bit of paranoia in him, also. Here are the Paradoxical Commandments:
People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered – Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives – Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies – Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow – Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable – Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds – Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs – Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight – Build anyway.
People really need help, but may attack you if you do help them – Help people anyway.
And finally –
Give the world the best you have and you will get kicked in the teeth – Give the world the best you have anyway.
So much for the Paradoxical Commandments.
And now it is chuckle time –
A Rabbi & a Priest in the same town were friends. They met once a week to go bicycling together. One day while the Priest was waiting in the usual place, the Rabbi came but without his bicycle. He told his friend the Priest that it was not where he usually put it so it was probably stolen.
The Priest paused a moment & then said to the Rabbi "I have an idea. This coming Friday night when you deliver your sermon, why don't you make your subject the Ten Commandments, and when you get to the part where it says 'Thou shalt not steal', perhaps the thief will be listening and be remorseful and return your bike." So the following week when it was time for the buddies to meet, the Rabbi arrived with his bike. Elated, the Priest said "See, I told you that when you would read the Ten Commandments that say 'Thou shalt not steal' it would work and you would get your bicycle back, and you did." The Rabbi replied "Well, it was not exactly that way. I did give my sermon, but when I came to the part that says 'Thou shalt not commit adultery', I remembered where I left my bike."
For KSCO, this is Kay Zwerling.

Braided Rattan Collection has braided materials with 5 inch repeating horizontal rattan stripes.
Based upon a size of 24x36
This product may go just about anywhere in the home except for high humidity areas. Privacy liner is available.Fabric liner is an option for even the sheerest of materials Classic or Roman valances available. Decorative hems are available as are binding of edges priced by phone only.
It began with a simple curiosity. An inquiring desire to transform a window into a fashion statement with innovative functionality and impressive style. That desire grew into a vision to create window shades without limitations. Recognizing a window shade's unique ability to elegantly accent any room of the home, Levolor Natural Woven Shades combine the latest fabrics, textures and patterns with exclusive easy to operate light control options. By incorporating these elements into a look that is equally exquisite and functional, Levolor Natural Woven Shades reflect an entire lifestyle in each room.
Add a light-filtering or room-darkening liner that best coordinates with your LEVOLOR Natural Shade fabric selection. In addition to providing privacy, these liners put you in control of the overall lighting and mood of the room. Both liner styles are available in four coordinating colors and are neutral to the street side for a uniform look. The recommended liner color will automatically be selected, or you may choose your desired color. Liners wider than 54" will be made with vertical seams.
Your fabric and liner choices have helped to customize the style of the room. Now it's time to add some innovative functionality to it. These carefree options empower you with the ability to further determine how and when light enters the room, as well as how you raise and lower the shade. And because privacy is a major function of Levolor Natural Woven Shades, these options enable you to control the amount of privacy you desire.
Tips To Remember:
Use a steel measuring tape
Round down to the nearest 1/8" for width
Round up to the nearest 1/8" for height
See Product Specifications for more specific product info.
Sizes should always be provided in this format: Width x Height
On any measurement given, the factory does have a +/- 1/8 of an inch variance allowance.
Measuring for Woven Woods
Inside Mount Width
• Measure the exact width (left to right) of the inside edge of the window frame in three places (top, middle and bottom).
• Take the smallest of the three measurements to the nearest 1/8 of an inch.
• The factory will make the correct deduction from the total width to allow for proper installation. Most manufacturers' deduct 3/8" from the total width.
Inside Mount Height
• Measure the exact height (top to bottom) from the top inside edge down to the window sill in three spots across window.
• Take the largest of the three measurements.
Outside Mount Width
• Measure the exact width (left to right) of the wooden or metal window frame (outer edge) OR how wide you want the product to be.
• For Woven Woods make sure the measurement overlaps the window opening by at least 2" on each side to ensure light control and privacy I
Outside Mount Height
• Measure the top and bottom edge of window frame/trim. If no trim, be sure you provide the height you want the shade to be from top of the headrail to bottom of the bottom rail.
• Be sure to allow for coverage for light control and mounting hardware if mounting above window opening to wall surface. You will need 2 inches of surface area to mount above opening. Call us for further instruction if needed.

38 Studios laid off its entire workforce according to an unconfirmed report on WPRI.com where they have an email purportedly sent to the company's staff, which they say consisted of 379 employees a of March 15. The Verge adds they've been informed by "a source familiar with the company" that 38 Studios also closed both its Rhode Island headquarters and its subsidiary studio Big Huge Games (thanks nin). They also note there is a semi-confirmation of this in a tweet from Colin Campbell, lead world designer at Big Huge Games: "Big Huge Games was home for my wife and me for our adult lives so far. I'll miss it terribly, but so proud. Good night and good luck." The Verge also quotes Governor of Rhode Island Lincoln Chafee attributing the closure to Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, saying the RPG "failed." They note that the game sold approximately 1.2 million copies in 90 days and Chafee says experts told him it needed to sell three million copies to break even. In 2010 Rhode Island loaned 38 Studios $75 million.
Financial troubles at the developer founded by former major league baseball pitcher Curt Schilling surfaced less than two weeks ago, but after some drama involving a bounced loan payment check and allegations of a missed payroll, things seemed to be on the rise, with word that the loan payment cleared and that the company's MMORPG codenamed Project Copernicus was expected in a year. In an interesting side note, Rock, Paper, Shotgun points out the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation has posted 38 Studios Public Documents with all the details on its financial dealing with the company.

VENTURA, LOUIS CK, STABILITY and DECISION MAKING
On Thursday night (my frikkin' birthday) I will be speaking up at Ventura College. Here's the info:
Thursday, March 5 at 7:00-9:00pm
At the Staff Lounge next to the Food Service Area
in the Ventura College Cafeteria
It's open to anybody. But you'll have to check the Ventura College website for specific directions. I've never been there myself so maybe we can wander around looking for it together!
Also, on Sunday March 15th, I'll be at Dharma Punx in Hollywood leading zazen and speaking (I am listed as "and others" on the website, uh, thanks...). This will be a monthly thing. Although I won't be there for the April one and I'm not 100% sure about May, my Dharma Brother Kevin Bortolin will lead the ones I can't make it to. The address is 4300 Melrose (between Heliotrope and Vermont) Los Angeles, CA 90029.
My talk at their Santa Monica place on Monday was fun.
My friend Nina found this great clip of Louis CK's appearance on Late Night With Conan O'Brien. Click on the words "Louis CK's appearance" for a clearer version of the clip. I've embedded a less clear version below:
It's really true that we take the most amazing things we have for granted or complain about them. The title is "Everything's Amazing and Nobody's Happy."
My friend Bret pointed me to this article on the human brain. Check out #1 on the list, "Subconscious Behavior aka Best Guessing." This is something Nishijima Roshi talks about a lot. We make our decisions instantly and then think about them. The process of thinking can sometimes lead us away from doing what intuition has already told us we ought to do. This is why we sit zazen, to learn to trust our innate intuitive abilities.
Finally, I thought of something during my talk on Monday at Dharma Punx. But I didn't say it because I didn't quite have the words yet. So I'm gonna try saying it here.
The reason we sit the way we do in zazen is to practice stability. If you've ever been on a boat on a choppy sea you know how good it feels to get back on dry land. The experience of the stability of the solid Earth is not just a physical sensation. It calms your nerves. People pay good money to go to amusement parks and get swung around and turned upside down and suchlike all to experience disorientation and instability.
Zazen is the ultimate stable posture. It is the real practice of stability itself. This is why the posture is absolutely crucial. And I'm not referring here to the twisting up of the legs (although full lotus does seem more stable than most other postures, if you can manage it). I'm referring to sitting on a cushion using your knees to form a tripod and keeping your back straight such that your spine balances on top of your hips. This posture makes you feel stable physically and mentally in a way that no other posture possibly can.

Report by Anders Christian Madsen on 21 September 2013.
It was in the femininity of buoyant materials and slouchy cuts inspired by the femmes fatales of David Lynch cinema that new-era Trussardi differed the most from the house under Benan's reign. Gone was that handsome woman who'd become synonymous with the Turkish designer's work for the house, and in came a prettier (but not girlier) lady, who seemed a little more practical.

After a year that will be remembered for the storm of a lifetime, the tragedy of a mass shooting, the frustration of political gridlock and continuing turmoil around the world, it's no wonder that many of us are seeking guidance and direction as we face a new year. We asked some notable members of our community to suggest some resolutions for 2013.
"We should all agree to remember: Remember how afraid we were during Hurricane Sandy, and how hard we prayed to be spared. Remember how sad we felt when we first heard about the horrific murders in Newtown. Remember how angry we were when Israel was being attacked by thousands of rockets fired from Gaza. Remember the men and women of our armed forces who gave their lives for us. Life moves on, and we quickly forget the raging emotion of the moment, but what we really need is to remember."
—Benjamin Brafman, criminal trial attorney, Lawrence
"Have confidence in the rebuilding process and take the time to do it correctly and safely. That's what I wish for everybody: to get back to where we were or even better."
—James Ruzicka, mayor, Island Park
"We should learn from our experiences. With Hurricane Sandy, maybe we'll be better prepared if there is another one. A couple of years ago at a meeting, people were screaming, 'Why do we need flood hazard insurance?' Now we see why. We have to learn from others' mistakes."
—Joe Baker, president, South Merrick Community Civic Association
"One of the biggest casualties of our contemporary society is patience, so we should try to be a little more patient in 2013, with others and with ourselves as well. We are all works in progress, and life isn't easy for any of us. Let's give each other — and ourselves — a little bit of break."
—The Rev. Mark Lukens, pastor, Bethany Congregational Church, East Rockaway
"We should resolve to teach our teenagers to pull up their pants and stop showing us their underwear. We should resolve not to enter a crowded elevator after eating garlic chicken for at least a week. And resolve not to yell back at the supermarket self-service checkout machine."
—Bobby Paiva, comedy writer, Oceanside

For WR 2011, I stayed at the Travelodge LAX which was just a quick walk from Hilton, and is also a quick walk from Westin. They've got smoking rooms that were cheaper and bigger so you've got more places to hide if you get paranoid and think that wrestlers are after you.

Operating Systems Help Us Limit Harm From Failures
Last week, I suggested that programs should use assert statements to handle conditions that "can't happen," such as invariant failures. I want to continue that discussion by looking at how a user might deal with the failure of such a program.
More Insights
White PapersMore >>
- The State of Cyber Security Incident Response
- Online Malware & Threats: A Profile of Today's Security Posture
WebcastsMore >>
Suppose you call a function that reports failure. If you are to recover from such a situation at all, it is important to be able to limit the harm that the function's failure might have done. For example, suppose the function reads an input file. If it reports failure — even if that failure can be due only to a bug in the function itself — it is nice to be able to trust that the function did not change the contents of the input file.
The ability to limit harm in such circumstances is an important service of an operating system. For example, if you tell the operating system that a file is read-only, then it is much harder for even a broken program to change that file's contents than if you do not make the file read-only. Similarly, most modern operating systems make it somewhere between difficult and impossible for a bug in one process to change memory belonging to a different process.
Processes do something else important, too: They limit the scope of "program termination." In C++ terms, when we talk about a program terminating because of an assert, what we really mean is that a process is terminating. Moreover, the operating system usually prevents a process that terminates from corrupting memory belonging to other processes.
As a result, most operating systems make it possible for us to use processes to deal with assertion failure: We can put part of our computation in a separate process, and then, if that process fails, we can be reasonably confident that that failure did not sneak back across the process boundary and corrupt our own computation.
This strategy is important for building large, reliable systems. For example, Microsoft Windows has the notion of a service, which is a process that the operating system runs automatically. Associated with each service is a set of instructions for what should happen if that service terminates. Should the system restart the failed process? If so, should it do so immediately, or should it wait a while? If the process fails again, what should the system do? Is there a limit to the number of times the system should try to restart the process before giving up? Should the system take some other action in addition to (or instead of) restarting the process? And so on.
Of course the system's mechanism for starting and restarting services might itself be broken. For that matter, there might be bugs that create holes in the firewalls between processes. However, both of these mechanisms are fairly easy to understand, and therefore to implement and test. Moreover, they are apt to be very widely used, which makes them much less likely to fail than the individual services they control.
In short, assert statements, together with facilities such as operating-system-assisted firewalls, suggest a strategy of:
- Arranging for parts of a system to fail as quickly as possible when they do fail, and
- Wrapping those parts in a way that limits the scope of the failure.
Those wrappers might consist of putting different parts of the system in different processes, or running different parts at different times and using files to pass information between them, or even running them on different computers connected by a network. Either way, the underlying idea is the same: Arrange for each part of the system to be able to complete its work successfully or to report failure — and limit the scope of that failure — as aggressively as possible.
Of course, it's not always possible to limit the ill effects from a failure completely. Next week, I'll discuss how we can use data-structure audits to reduce the harm in such cases.

Stanczyk was not born in Philadelphia, but moved here over two decades ago. But I really love the city of Brotherly Love. I like to call it the cradle of American civilization and we are the keystone state because of our position within the original 13 colonies. Over a hundred years ago my busia arrived in the USA here in Philadelphia on the steamship Prinz Adalbert − a nice tie-in between my family history and my adopted home town.
One of the reasons I love Philadelphia is its oldness (relative to America — not the rest of the world). I like to play tourist in my adopted home town. So I have seen the celebrated points of the colonial history of our town. Now we are on the verge of another 4th of July and that means the Welcome America celebration which seems to get longer every year (is it two weeks long now?) and with good reason for all of the special events (fireworks, concerts, liberty medals, etc.) that occur.
But let Stanczyk clue you in on a free activity for you and your kids that makes you feel a part of America's past. Do not just visit the Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell / Visitor center, the Constitution Center and the recently opened National Museum of American Jewish History. These plus all things Ben Franklin, Betsy Ross, Elfreth Alley, are worthy ventures (take a carriage ride to get a lay of the land — Stanczyk's favorite). One event Stanczyk stumbled upon was the Historical re-enactment of the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence. This happens 4 days later (July 8th). It will be in the courtyard behind Independence Hall. Free for all wandering through. It gives your family a real sense of the American narrative and allows you to pretend you were there at the inception of this grand experiment ! Buy the kids a copy of the Declaration and/or Constitution this is what the Independence Holiday is all about. The National Archives in Washington D.C. has an original document that you can visit. 5 Fast Facts of Declaration of Independence.

The Oklahoma SIS: Solutions, Initiatives, Strategies project,
spearheaded by the Oklahoma Commission on the Status of
Women, the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, and the
Oklahoma Women's Coalition
seeks the assistance of all Oklaho-mans
to reduce the rate of non-violent,
low-risk women offenders
while enhancing public safety and
expanding cost efficiencies.
We offer this plan of action for
your review, endorsement and collective action. Four
clearly-stated overarching strategies, followed by state,
community and individual strategic action goals with sug-gested
approaches across the life-long path of incarceration
-- Prevention - Intervention & Diversion - Recidivism &
Reentry -- provide many opportunities for individuals,
civic, community, faith-based, judicial, legislative and gov-ernmental
interests to step up and effect change.
In every strategic life span area, a few simply-stated strate-gies
set out actions to accomplish at both state and commu-nity
levels as well as actions individuals may choose to se-lect.
"The "suggested approaches" are activities any group
or individual may elect to undertake to help achieve one or
more strategies, but are indeed simply "suggested" deliber-ately
making room for a host of other approaches and ac-tivities.
The Oklahoma SIS project brought together a 42-member
panel of experts and leaders in the field of women's incar-ceration
in Oklahoma. Panelists reviewed and distilled
years of recommendations and research into a comprehen-sive
plan of action for addressing the highest incarceration
rate of women in the nation. As part of the year-long pro-ject,
a diverse group of some 200 state leaders, individuals,
governmental and non-governmental entities adopted the
plan at an issues summit April 30, 2010.
Over-Arching Strategies concisely identify four key actions
critical to achieving the overall goal: to reduce the incarcera-tion
rate of Oklahoma women to under the national average
by 2020 using evidence-based practice and policy.
1. Interrupt the pathways to incarceration.
2. Expand critical services to at-risk individuals, popu-lations
and communities.
3.Enhance public safety while
implementing/expanding lower
cost alternatives to incarceration
for nonviolent female offenders.
4.Remove barriers and provide
support for successful return from
incarceration to society.
Comprehensively, the Reduce Incarceration of Women Ac-tion
Plan approaches the issues surrounding women's in-carceration
across the span of an individual's lifetime. This
approach asks, "To effectively reduce women's incarceration
numbers at the lowest risk to public safety and at the most
efficient cost to taxpayers, at what critical points in life can
the greatest numbers of lives be redirected away from paths
leading to imprisonment and restored to society?"
In response, the Oklahoma SIS Reduce Incarceration of
Women Action Plan divides the life span of incarceration
into three broad areas, identifying strategies for change in
each at the state, community and individual local levels.
Strategic life span change areas are: 1) Prevention; 2) Inter-vention
& Diversion; 3) Recidivism & Reentry.
Prevention: Strategies to reduce common pathways and
factors that can contribute to later incarceration.
Intervention and Diversion: Strategies to intervene and
address risk factors both before and after contact with law
enforcement and/or strategies to divert low-risk nonviolent
offenders from incarceration.
Recidivism and Reentry: Strategies that support rehabilita-tion
of offenders, reduce recidivism and enable offenders to
successfully reenter the community after imprisonment.
Strategic areas are listed in order of their ultimate potential
to have the greatest impact on reducing incarceration rate
numbers at more efficient costs than the $20,000-plus an-nual
cost of incarceration per woman using evidence-based
practices and policies.
OKLAHOMA Solutions Initiatives Strategies
! The "Reduce Incarceration of Women: A Public Agenda Action Plan" is a collaborative,
non-partisan statewide initiative of action strategies to reduce the incarceration rate of women

Are you or a loved one hooked on tobacco? Join the millions who've found a good reason to give it up—tobacco use is the second leading cause of death worldwide, responsible for 1 in every 10 adult deaths.
If you're ready to quit, we can help. Part B covers free counseling sessions as a preventive service to help you quit smoking—you pay nothing if your doctor accepts Medicare's payment.
If you've already been diagnosed with an illness caused or made worse by tobacco use or you take a medicine affected by tobacco, you can continue to get up to 8 face-to-face counseling visits every 12 months. You pay your Part B deductible, and 20% of the Medicare-approved amount. If you get counseling in a hospital outpatient setting, you also pay the hospital a copayment.
Make May 31—World "No Tobacco" Day—your starting point to kick the habit. Visit the Centers for Disease Control and the National Cancer Institute to learn more about tobacco use and how you can overcome it.
Also, watch our video about the World Health Organization's World No Tobacco Day campaign and how Medicare supports it.
