Choosing my nail polish this week was a breeze. I went with Essie's Smooth Sailing, a lavender blue with pearl sparkles, part of Essie's Braziliant collection. This color really is an accurate mash-up of lavender and blue, and the sparkles give it a playful feel. Tomorrow is the official first day of summer, and what is more summery than blue nails? Perhaps coral, which is what has been gracing my toenails for weeks. I really love the Braziliant collection, and if you haven't seen it yet, do so before fall starts making its way to stores!
What's everyone wearing this Mani Monday? Do tell in the comments!

Abû-Qatâda al-Filisṭînî (Arabic: أبو قتادة الفلسطيني), sometimes called Abû-Omar (ابو عمر) is an Islamist militant. Under the name Omar Mahmoud Othman (عمر محمود عثمان), he is under worldwide embargo by the United Nations Security Council Committee 1267 for his affiliation with al-Qaeda. He is wanted on terrorism charges in Algeria, the United States, Belgium, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, and his native Jordan.
After the liberation of Kuwait from Iraq (which Abu Qatada opposed) he was expelled from Kuwait to Jordan. From there he travelled to the UK in 1993 on a forged UAE passport, and requested asylum on grounds of religious persecution. He was granted asylum the following year. He has been in British custody since his most recent arrest, in August 2005, shortly after the July 2005 London bombings. A British court ruled on February 26, 2007 that he may be deported to Jordan. Qatada won the appeal against deportation in April 2008 under the British Human Rights Act 1998 and European Convention on Human Rights despite suspected continued terrorist involvement, but remained in prison. On 8 May 2008 he was granted bail by the Special Immigration Appeals Commission with security provided by former terrorist hostage Norman Kember who Qatada had requested the release of before his rescue by the SAS in 2006. In November 2008 Qatada was rearrested for breaking his bail conditions. His bail was revoked and he was sent back to prison pending his deportation from the United Kingdom.
Abu Qatada is a Jordanian national, having been born in Bethlehem in 1960, at which time the West Bank was part of Jordan. Al-Filistini means the Palestinian.

The primary-care doctor engine
The possibility of a state medical school in Massachusetts was seriously discussed as early as the 1940s, yet UMass Medical School didn't officially open until 1970. The holdup? Politics. As usual. Administrators from existing medical schools at Harvard, Boston University, and Tufts worked with a Republican majority in the state Senate — imagine that — to keep the idea at bay for decades. But by 1962, with Democratic majorities in both houses and support from organized labor, the state Legislature was able to pass a bill that officially established the school. Even then, the politics of the school's location — Worcester was one of 95 potential locations floated — and a spiraling budget almost brought the project to a halt on several occasions.
The school's first dean, Lamar Soutter, was even forced to engage in some wry political theater to ensure the school stayed on track: In advance of a critical funding vote in 1970, Soutter made a hurried trip to Amherst to select a premed student, making a show of his acceptance to give the school a sense of inevitability.
In addition to serving as an affordable alternative to the private medical schools, UMass Worcester was also intended to be a key producer of primary-care doctors rather than specialists, aiming to meet growing state and national demands. Today, more than half of the school's graduates enter primary care, and a similar percentage begin their residency in-state — providing some relief to the state's primary-care crunch. (The school has also been an economic boon to Worcester, and is now the city's second-largest employer behind only its affiliated hospital network, UMass Memorial Health Care.)
The youngest of the UMass campuses, the Worcester medical school has an impressive trophy despite its relative youth: In 2006, biological medicine professor Craig Mello was awarded a Nobel Prize (along with Andrew Fire of Stanford) for discovering how to "turn off'' genes at a molecular level. In January, the medical school opened a new $405 million research center to aid Mello's quest for number two.

PA Dept. of Education Funds Law Academic Excellence Program Again
The Duquesne University School of Law has received $85,000 from the Pennsylvania Department of Education for a second consecutive year to fund the school's Academic Excellence Program. The program was launched during the 2010-11 academic year by the law school to provide one-on-one support to its new students who do not attain the anticipated high level of achievement after their first year.
"We couldn't be more pleased to receive this second grant during our Centennial year," said Law School Dean Ken Gormley. "It helps us to continue to be on the cutting edge in our field. A number of law schools in the United States are now looking into the concept of a program like ours."
The Academic Excellence Program identifies and supports students with the goal of improving their performance and preparing them for the practice of law at the highest possible level. It dovetails with the law school's Legal Research and Writing Program and also supports its Bar Exam Preparation Program. After its pilot year, the program received substantial positive feedback from students, according to Rob Perkins, director of the program.
"A primary goal of the program is to give our students the opportunity to get additional practice and feedback on their writing and advocacy skills," said Perkins. "We achieved that by providing detailed feedback on hundreds of student-written memoranda, which students tremendously appreciated."
Enhancements to the program include an increase in scheduled skills workshops for students enrolled in their first semester of law school.
"For many students, that is the most challenging time as they try to learn an entirely new way to think and analyze problems," Perkins said. "We also will continue to work hard to integrate the program with other first-year courses so that the practice problems not only help students to strengthen their writing and analytic skills, but also help them to master the subject matter being taught in their other courses."
Gormley has already begun preparing an application for a third grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Education to support the Academic Excellence Program during the 2012-13 academic year.

WHITE SANDS, NM - Soldiers from 4th Battalion, 27th Field Artillery Regiment "Iron Thunder" completed their Table XV certification during a live fire exercise at McGregor Range complex N.M., and Dona Anna, N.M. on Nov 7 to 8.
"The training was really good, it's something we have done in the past," said Spc. Christopher A. Miloro, a gunner with Battery B, 4-27 FA. "It's definitely good training for the new soldiers, as the gun requires a lot of teamwork. No matter how small the job you have, that small job may affect the performance of the rest of the team."
Field artillery gunnery tables allow leaders progressive sequential training, and it also includes a comprehensive list of gunnery tasks for every level. They include proficiency tests, safety certifications and commanders assessments on the skills of the gun crews.
"The training was very long, very difficult and very different," said Pfc. Kyle S. Charley, an ammo vehicle driver with Battery B. "There is a lot of running around and a lot of moving parts and the M777 is very different than the Paladins I was trained on in Korea."
The Field Artillery Table XV is the battery level live fire qualification that tests the crews proficiency to properly operate and accurately engage targets with the M777A2 155mm Ultra-lightweight Field Howitzer. It took place over a 24-hour time period allowing for both night and day operations and was part of a five week train-up as part of the Network Integration Evaluation 13.1.
"I do love training soldiers," said Sgt. Jack Rodriguez, section chief with Bravo Battery. "All the soldiers were able to train on all positions on the gun, rotating in and out. It's good training for the new soldiers, on a new artillery piece, the M777A2."

Learn more about the Porsche Boxster: Porsche Boxster Reviews, Pricing, Specs and more »
A used Porsche Boxster is not a difficult vehicle to come by, and these mid-sized roadster-style sports cars are attractive and powerful cars are worth looking for. If you want to look at or buy used Porsche Boxster parts or vehicles, you'll be best served to know a bit of the history behind this popular sports car.
The Porsche Boxster was first released in 1996 with a flat six cylinder engine with a capacity of 2.5 liters. Since that time, the manufacturer has continued to upgrade the base engine in all models of the Boxster; the Boxster S, which debuted in 2000, features 2.7-liter and 3.2-liter engines.
The Type 987 Boxster is the latest top-of-the-line variant on the traditional Boxster type. This upgraded model was developed and released in 2005. Since that time, Porsche has continued to modify their top end line of Boxster vehicles by adding additional features and continually upgrading the engine to match the developing technology that is available at the time.
The Boxster has qualities of a roadster vehicle (which helped to provide the name for the car). Specifically, the car resembles a roadster for its retractable convertible top and two door, two seat configuration. Nonetheless, the vehicle has ample room inside for two passengers, and the engine is powerful enough to give the car a sizable kick.

Do you believe either RLopez or Udoh can start?
I believe he'd be more serviceable than Biedrins.
As would I, but that was not the question.
If we're going to spend over $20 million on a multiyear deal for a center, I'd first and foremost like to target players that I can envision in the starting lineup. Lopez, while addressing our rebounding woes, is a redundant piece if we plan on keeping Udoh. Both are plus options coming off the bench, but are serviceable (at best) as a starting center. Udoh is a natural PF (and undersized), while Lopez is foul prone and completely offensively inept.
Just because Biedrins has fallen out of grace doesn't mean we should stockpile backup centers. That was the issue this year: neither Biedrins nor Brown was a true starter and (despite Bob Fitzgerald trying to spin how much Kwame contributed to the team), the Warriors have been outplayed at center almost entirely all season. It's time for an upgrade, not a replacement, for Brown.

New structural information on functionalization of gold nanoparticles
|(Nanowerk News) Nanometre-scale gold particles are currently intensively investigated for possible applications as catalysts, sensors, biolabels, drug delivery devices, biological contrast agents and as components in photonics and molecular electronics. The particles are prepared in a solution from gold salts and their reactive gold cores can be stabilized with various organic ligands. Particularly stable particles can be synthesized by using organothiol ligands that have a strong chemical interaction to gold, producing precise compositions in the size range of 1 to 3 nanometres. Modification of the protecting molecular overlayer is a key step in almost all applications. A detailed structural atomistic understanding of the processes of the exchange reaction has been lacking.
|Now, professors Chris Ackerson in the Colorado State University in Ft. Collins, USA, and Hannu Häkkinen at the Nanoscience Center of the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, report the first structural study on the atomistic processes of a ligand-exchange reaction of a well-defined gold nanoparticle that has 102 gold atoms and 44 ligand sites in the molecular overlayer. The study was published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society on 21 July 2012 ("Structural and Theoretical Basis for Ligand Exchange on Thiolate Monolayer Protected Gold Nanoclusters"). Prof. Häkkinens work is funded by the Academy of Finland and prof. Ackersons work is funded by the Colorado State University and the American Federation for Aging Research.
|Gold nanoparticles.
|The studied particle has a chemical formula of Au102(p-MBA)44 and it was made by using a water-soluble thiol (para mercapto benzoic acid, p-MBA) as the stabilizing molecule. The X-ray crystal structure of this particle was first reported as the cover article of Science in 2007 by the group of Roger D. Kornberg from Stanford University ("Structure of a Thiol Monolayer-Protected Gold Nanoparticle at 1.1 Å Resolution"). Häkkinen led an international team of researchers that published a theoretical analysis of this and other thiol-stabilized gold nanoparticles in 2008 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ("A unified view of ligand-protected gold clusters as superatom complexes").
|In the new study, Ackersons group succeeded in making heterogeneous crystals of samples of Au102 particles that had undergone a ligand-exchange reaction where the p-MBA thiols in the molecular overlayer had been partially exchanged to a similar thiol containing a Bromine atom, the so-called para bromo benzene thiol (p-BBT), under a fast 5-minute reaction.
|The analysis of the heterogeneous crystals showed which ligand sites in the overlayer are the most likely to be changed during the short reaction time, i.e., from which sites the exchange process starts. Surprisingly, only 4 sites out of the 44 possibilities showed occupation by the exchanged ligand (see Figure). Theoretical analysis performed by Häkkinens group gave insight into the atomistic details of possible reaction mechanisms. Evidence from experiment and theory indicates that the Au102(p-MBA)44 nanoparticle has a thiol overlayer where almost every thiol ligand site has its own reaction rate due to a highly heterogeneous structure of the overlayer. The Au102(p-MBA)44 nanoparticle has a structure reminiscent of a protein, with a rigid inorganic gold core analogous to the alpha-carbon backbone of a protein core and chemically modifiable functional groups in the low-symmetry molecular overlayer, says prof. Ackerson. When ligand exchange reactions are better understood, we hope to fully control the surface functionalization of the Au102 and similar water-soluble gold nanoparticles. The implications in biology for a fully controllable synthetic surface the size of a protein are profound, says prof. Häkkinen.
|The other researchers involved in the work are Christine Heinecke, Thomas Ni and Andrea Wong from Ft. Collins and Sami Malola and Ville Mäkinen from Jyväskylä. The massively parallel computations needed for interpretation of the experimental observations were made in the Louhi supercomputer at CSC the Finnish IT Center for Science in Espoo.

No sympathy for the devil, indeed: Harvard and Boston-area Catholics are in an uproar over an independent student group's plans to hold a Satanist ceremony Monday evening as part of an ongoing series of events exploring other cultures.
The Boston Catholic archdiocese, Harvard's chaplains and even Harvard's president have denounced the Harvard Extension Cultural Studies Club's "black mass" event -- which is expected to resemble the traditional Christian ritual of communion -- as insensitive and offensive.
"It is deeply regrettable that the organizers of this event, well aware of the offense they are causing so many others, have chosen to proceed with a form of expression that is so flagrantly disrespectful and inflammatory," Harvard President Drew Faust said in a statement echoing other officials' criticisms, adding that she planned to attend a religious ceremony Monday evening to support campus Catholics.
But there's at least one group who doesn't see what all the fuss is about, and that's the Satanists who will help put on the ceremony.
"I just think this 'black mass' reenactment is a non-story," Lucien Greaves, spokesman for the New York-based Satanic Temple, said Monday.
The devil is big news right now, with Pope Francis delivering a homily last month in which he told followers, "The devil is present! The devil is here, even in the 21st century! And we mustn't be naive, right? We must learn from the gospel how to fight against Satan."
The Satanic Temple describes itself as a humanist group that uses Satan as a symbol of rejecting superstition, authority and organized religion, spokesman Greaves said.
The group has previously celebrated same-sex unions at the grave belonging to the mother of Westboro Baptist Church founder Fred Phelps and has asked for a monument to Satan on Oklahoma Capitol grounds.
Monday's ceremony is expected to be held at the Cambridge Queen's Head Pub and involve the reenactment of the Eucharistic Prayer, the most solemn part of the Mass in which Catholics believe that bread and wine are transformed into the body and blood of Christ.
Although university officials have condemned the event, they have not tried to stop it.
"It's a declaration of personal independence for the people engaged in it," Greaves said of the ceremony. "The Catholic Church is irrelevant to us. We don't feel like we're in direct conflict with them, because they don't have meaning in our lives.
"We plan to talk about historical academic context," Greaves added, criticizing religious officials' "ridiculous, infantile fears that we're actually going to summon the devil, or their great fears that we're going to profane their magical bread. We're not using a consecrated host or anything like that."
In an unsigned statement emailed to the Los Angeles Times, the student group said it planned to carry out the event in the name of freedom of expression and tolerance despite enduring "coordinated attacks" via email and receiving "intimidating letters," adding that hundreds of people had expressed interest in attending.
"People might find the rituals offensive to their sensibilities, but there is no expression of hate towards any group, and there is no incitement of violence," the statement said.
"This ceremony does not silence any individuals from expressing their respective faiths as they see fit. No one is intimidated in such a way that they feel they cannot behave as they choose. Those who oppose this reenactment simply feel that their deeply held rituals are being mocked."
In a statement, the Archdiocese of Boston announced an hour of prayer for participants in the black mass: "This activity separates people from God and the human community, it is contrary to charity and goodness, and it places participants dangerously close to destructive works of evil."

Red Fisher on 40th anniversary of Summit Series
September marks the 40th anniversary of the Summit Series between Canada and the Soviet Union, which changed the game forever.
Longtime hockey fans have been asking themselves since then: Where were you when Paul Henderson scored The Goal?
Red Fisher was right there. In fact, the legendary hockey writer was there for all eight games, the first four in Canada and the last four in the Soviet Union.
Red announced his retirement from The Gazette this summer after 57 years covering hockey and the Canadiens, but is making a brief comeback this month to write an eight-part feature series on the Summit Series, looking back on each of the games. You can read his introduction to the series, which was published in The Gazette on Sept. 1, by clicking here . Click here to read his story on Game 1, which was played on Sept. 2, 1972 and ended with the Soviets shocking Team Canada and an entire country with a 7-3 victory.
During the month Red will look back on the seven other games, with his articles to be published on the same dates they were played in 1972: Sept. 4, 6 and 8 in Canada, and Sept. 22, 24, 26 and 28 in the Soviet Union. The Gazette will also be publishing reader memories from the 1972 series. You can email your memories to me at email@example.com or go to montrealgazette.com/summitseries. Please include your full name and hometown.

|Sports on Earth
A wise man — possibly Keyser Söze; probably Charles Baudelaire — once said that the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist. When it comes to Bountygate, the greatest trick the National Football League has pulled is convincing the sports world that the entire sordid, farcical, seemingly endless pay-for-pain affair is all about justice.
Or, more accurately, the league's kangaroo court jurisprudence.
In the wake of former league commissioner Paul Tagliabue's arbitration ruling on the matter, reaction was swift, widespread and mostly focused on: (a) the legal and procedural facts of the case; (b) the larger power struggle between New Orleans Saints players and current commissioner-cum-Time magazine cover hero Roger Goodell. Was the NFL's original investigation into the Saints' bounty system both sloppy and presumptive? (Looks like.) Had Goodell overstepped his authority in paternalistic and heavy-handed fashion by doling out relatively severe punishments on the basis of shoddy evidence? (Tagliabue suggested as much.) Did Jonathan Vilma and his teammates actually do anything wrong, and if so, are they actually responsible for their alleged actions given the leadership of Gregg "Kill the Head" Williams and other Saints coaches? (On the first question, the evidence remains indeterminate; on the second, Tagliabue suggests no.) Also, does Tagliabue's final judgment serve as a mild repudiation of Goodell's increasingly dictatorial-like reign, particularly on issues of player safety and misconduct? (Signs point to yes.)
Largely lost in the who-won, who-lost insta-analysis, however, was the same thing that was lost as Bountygate dragged on. The heart of the matter. The pointof the matter. At its core, Bountygate has never been about Goodell versus Vilma, a proxy war between players and owners, the trampling of due process or even whether Saints defenders actually had a Cash-4-Cart-Offs bounty system.No, Bountygate is and will always be about violence. About the NFL's ongoing, increasingly strained efforts to make football's inherent violence and inevitable human wreckage palatable.
When the Saints' bounty story originally came to light, I was stunned. Not because it involved large men being paid to hurt each other — just because I stopped watching football this season doesn't mean I'm unfamiliar with the sport — nor because it involved large men being paid cash tips to do the same. Uh-uh. I was stunned because the story was released by the NFL. On purpose. Even though the league easily could have kept the matter quiet and in-house: a few hush-hush fines, a handful of confidential warnings, an abrupt Williams retirement with a spend-more-time-with-my-family cover story and poof! A potential public relations headache that never had to exist is now gone. Everyone moves on to writing more Robert Griffin III: Awesome … or totally awesome? stories.
Look, I work in media. I deal with PR people. Much of the time, their job is to make my job harder. (Note: I like them anyway.) It's generally not in the best interest of their continuing gainful employment to dole out and promote material that makes the company, product or person they represent look bad. Only that's what the NFL did. They trotted out a Bountygate dog-and-pony show, produced a voluminous report, spoon-fed it to the press and wrapped everything in a bow of zero-tolerance proclamations about the sanctity of player safety.
The last part was the tip-off.
On "Pardon The Interruption," co-host Tony Kornheiser said that Bountygate was "Roger Goodell taking violence out of the National Football League. You can hit, but you can't be violent anymore." Such was the message. The spin. The reason the league leaked the story and lens through which Goodell and Co. want society to view their industry. A message similar to the one former Washington Redskins lineman George Starke delivered on a D.C.-area sports talk radio show after the Saints story broke, when he told a story that went like this: Back in the 1970s, 'Skins coach George Allen put a bounty on Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach. A cool $200. And that was perfectly okay.Because?"The bounty was to knock him out," Starke said. "Not hurt him. Let's be clear about that. Knock him out."
Right. Knock him out. But somehow, not hurt him. What was the league doing? Drawing the same distinction. Doing so to cover its posterior. Why? As anyone paying attention knows, the NFL is in long-term trouble. It faces a growing body of scientific and medical evidence that football participation is unacceptably risky, because it turns your brain into a ticking time bomb. Former players don't just limp around on reconstructed knees. They become fundamentally different people with fundamentally altered minds.They guzzle anti-freeze and kill themselves. They shoot themselves in the chest so their brains can be posthumously dissected. In the short term, the league faces a series of potentially damaging lawsuits alleging that it both covered up and lied about knowledge of this risk; in the long term, that same risk threatens to turn the sport into boxing, largely by destroying its popularity and viability at the youth level, one concerned parent at a time.
There is, however, a way out. Or at the very least, a potentially effective dodge. A clever hedge against the increasingly nervous mothers, the tragic and terrifying personal stories, the columns likening the NFL to Big Tobacco, the odds that a future judge, jury or settlement arbitrator will see the league the same way. The dodge is a two-step dance, and it goes something like this:
1. Make bad people the problem. Or bad rules. Or bad enforcement of the rules. Anything but football itself.
2. Establish and reinforce the notion that football's inherent physical violence can be morally parsed on the basis of intent, the way Neapolitan ice cream can be parsed on the basis of strawberry, chocolate and vanilla.
Regarding the first point, the NFL's eagerness to push the Bountygate story is wholly understandable: By suddenly cracking down on a dangerous practice that has been going on in pro football since, well, forever, the league was publicly proclaiming that we're doing everything we can to protect athletes! Brain trauma's not our fault! Football's only dangerous if no-good, very bad men like Gregg Williams are allowed to run free! Goodell is an angel of mercy! If we just have bigger fines for helmet-to-helmet hits, and maybe run a few slick ads about safe football, and perhaps get rid of kickoffs, then everything will be okay!
The second point is complementary, more complex and inarguably more important. It cuts to what makes football a violent, yet viable mass-market entertainment, free of the disgust and discomfort that confine boxing and mixed-martial arts to relative niche status. It's a variation on an old Shakespearian chestnut, one that, for now, society seems to buy: Football in itself isn't good or bad, but intentions make it so. The sport isn't an activity in which people are paid to deliberately hurt other people; it's an activity in which people are paid to participate, and sometimes they get hurt, but only by accident. Dirty hits versus good, hard, clean tackles. League-approved player salaries versus — as I said before — the Saints' intraoffice cash tips.
Now, this distinction matters. It matters a great deal. Because while the former is a kickass thing to watch on Sunday afternoons, the latter is otherwise known as assault and battery. It's a distinction — and a worldview, really — best articulated by ESPN.com's Gregg Easterbrook, a former colleague of mine and a longtime arbiter of pigskin right and wrong. Here's part of what he wrote about Bountygate:
... there will always be injuries in football. But the intent of a football player never should be to injure; the intent should be to hit hard, legally. American law places considerable emphasis on intent. Intending to harm your opponent changes football from something manly and sportsmanlike into something brutish and disgusting ...
Maybe so. Only here's the thing about broken ribs, torn ligaments and concussed brains: Honorable intentions don't make them any less painful. Or any less severe. Harm is harm; damage is damage; violence is violence. In "Terminator 2," there's a scene in which skatepunk John Connor orders cybernetic murder machine Arnold Schwarzenegger to take out an entire SWAT team without actually killing them. The former Governator does not proceed to hand the cops tulip bunches. He shoots them in their kneecaps. And the end result is not triumph of "manly sportsmanship;" it is likely an enormous future strain on the Los Angeles County police disability fund.
Granted, football players aren't shooting each other, a la "The Last Boy Scout." But they are hurting each other. All the time, in a hundred different ways. Violence is an essential part of the football, baked into the game's cake. It is neither an accident nor an unfortunate byproduct of trying to score and prevent touchdowns; rather, it's the inevitable outcome of hitting, blocking and tackling as they relate to physics and human biology. Like a medieval monk parsing the number of angels on a pinhead, Starke insisted that none of his teammates were trying to hurt Staubach. They were just trying to knock him out. Hello? How does knocking out happen? By lightly tapping Captain Comeback on the shoulder pads and calmly requesting his presence in the training room for the next two hours?Um, no. It happens through the application of force, mass times acceleration, to Staubach's brain and body, until one or both are so broken that the quarterback can't throw a pass, and/or stand up straight. Does intent really matter? I can intend to not break your jaw and leave you drinking through a straw; but if we're playing brickyard dodgeball and I'm throwing bricks at you — because bricks are a part of this particular game — what do you think is probably going to happen?
Bountygate started as a parlor trick: We can change the culture of football, and change the scary physical carnage, too! It ended as a sleight-of-hand: Come for the legalistic wrangling and arguments over due process; stay for the final dispensation of justice! It was a convenient distraction either way. Ultimately, nasty thoughts and mean speeches and cash bounties don't cause brain trauma. Hitting causes brain trauma. And hitting is the sport, no matter who Goodell fines or suspends, no matter how well intended he, the league's players or anyone else happens to be. Including the rest of us. A society that has fashioned a de facto national pastime out of increasingly self-evident harm. Never mind just. Is that right?

I came across the Google-o-meter widget in the Google Charts API today, and had a perfect use for it in my current pet project, convict records.
For the uninitiated, the Google Charts API allows you to request an image with query string parameters and format it in various different ways to produce a pretty graph.
I wanted to display the severity of a convict's sentence, relative to the known minimum and maximum sentence terms of other convicts I had in my database.
It took a little wrangling before I discovered that I really only needed a few parameters to achieve what I wanted – the final request HTML looked like this:
<img src="http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chs=240x100&cht=gm&chco=555555,FAFA05|FF0000&chd=t:<?php echo $sentency_severity; ?>" width="240" height="100" alt="Sentence Severity" />
Lets break that down a little.
Range and Indicator Position
The Google-o-meter defaults to a range of 0-100, therefore the easiest way to position your indicator is if you can create a percentage value from 0-100. It does also support custom ranges but that is beyond the scope of this tutorial.
How do we determine the position of the indicator (in PHP)?
// determine the sentence severity $sentency_severity = round(($term / $max_sentence) * 100);
The sentence severity is the sum of the sentence term in question, divided my the maximum known sentence (in my case 47 years, multiplied by 100, and finally rounded for good measure. This gives a percentage result somewhere between 0-100%. 23 years = 50%, 47 years = 100% and so on.
Other Parameters
Now that the sentence severity is known, all that is left to do is to pass the parameters to the Google Charts API.
- chs=240×100
The dimensions of the image length x height. *important* if you change the height value here, make sure you also change the <img> width and height attributes
- cht=gm
The chart type – gm = google-o-meter
- chco=555555,FAFA05|FF0000
The indicator hexadecimal colour followed by the start colour and end colour (the gradient in between is almost certainly created by some sort of voodoo magic)
- chd=t:<?php echo $sentency_severity; ?>
The chart data, in this case the indicator position.
The documentation is quite extensive on both the Google-o-meter and the Chart Wizard can also be helpful, although I did find that the wizard was a bit confusing for the google-o-meter in particular, and it ended up adding more parameters than I really needed in the end.

A Letter to the Editor in the Nov. 8, 2011, Tomahawk Leader:
On Oct. 20, 2011, the County's Public Property Committee met. The agenda contained items specifically regarding the use of the Fairgrounds. One item was an introduction of a resolution to establish a Volunteer Fairground User Group Management Organization, and another addressed a policy for implementing lease agreements with various options.
Over the past couple of years, I have been asking this very committee why at least half of Fairground maintenance costs consistently fall back on to the tax levy when literally hundreds of thousands of dollars are generated by non-profits and other entities using the facility. In the process of asking this same question repeatedly, I also discovered that some user groups pay no lease fees for use of the grounds in spite of raising a great deal of money on site.
In an apparent response to that question and discovery, the County Clerk presented the Property Committee with a new lease agreement with multiple options for charging for use of the Fairgrounds. Both the current and proposed options provide no exemptions from these fees without prior Public Property Committee approval. In spite of certain supervisor claims to the contrary, there are no written records of exemptions to these fees.
The proposed new lease agreement for the Fairgrounds offered multiple fee arrangements, including not charging anything for use of the facility. Since the committee just received these options, no action was taken on which, if any, provisions would be adopted. That fact did not stop a certain supervisor from making a motion to exempt the newly formed Fair Association from any lease fees. Since no agenda item was in place to discuss this action, no action could be taken. Characteristically, the motioning supervisor followed with a burst of theatrics.
This prompts me to make a couple of observations. That the county would be better served if certain supervisors dropped their pontificating on unrelated Washington partisan politics and concentrated instead on the business at hand. And that elected county officials are placed in office to serve the good of the county and not to do favors for certain friends.
Two points worth remembering are the facts that the county presently has two mechanisms in place for recouping Fairground maintenance costs – winter storage fees (currently the moneymaker) and lease agreements. And that enough money is generated by Fairground lessees to earn a substantial profit for lessees and cover maintenance costs.
The one agenda item that did follow through with a motion to go forward to the County Board was the resolution supporting the concept of a Volunteer Fairground User Group Management Organization. This could be a positive move on the part of Fairground users considering that the Fairgrounds will need a considerable amount of renovation. I suggest, however, that the County Board seriously question a proposal that the very users of the facility might also administer the lease agreement for the county.

"Rally, times square @ 6!" read the enthusiastic text from my boyfriend Joel. In response to my message expressing frustration about the failure of New York's Marriage Equality Act, Joel had responded with his characteristic "let's do something about it" attitude.
After getting his text, I planned to attend the rally, but I had a busy day at work, and other things came up. So, even though my office is less than two blocks away from Times Square, Joel went to the rally on his own. A few minutes after 6 p.m., Joel sent me an update: "Here right now, kinda small and sad."
I was disheartened by his text. I wanted to see huge rallies in the street. I wanted New York City's large gay population to fight back, to show the country that, in our state, we will not be denied equal rights quietly. I wanted outrage, and I could not understand, where was the outrage? As I sat at my desk angry over the situation, I realized that I was sitting at my desk angry over the situation. I had found better and more important things to do than attend the rally, and apparently so did most gay men and lesbians in the city. How could I be upset at others for not rallying in the streets, when I could not find the time to do so myself?
That night, Joel and I lay in bed discussing the situation. Why is it that we don't do more to fight for marriage equality? We both have very strong feelings about the issue, but aside from the occasional rally (like the march on Washington, D.C. earlier this year) or writing an occasional check (to support the fight against California's Proposition 8), we never take any action to support the cause. We rarely even make it a point to talk to our straight friends and family about the issue. We never tell them how important marriage equality is to us.
Why don't we get out there and fight for our rights?
Waiting for Change
As we discussed this, we realized that we don't fight because, deep down, we don't feel it is necessary for us to do so. We feel a sense of inevitability, a sense that history is on our side. After all, polls consistently show a generational gap in the support of marriage equality. A recent New York Times poll showed that 57 percent of people under the age of 40 support marriage equality, while only 35 percent of people over that age support it. If we're patient, it seems, marriage equality will come. Public opinion will eventually be on our side. When our generation is in control, we will have equal rights. We can wait.
This view is pervasive in the gay community, especially among the younger generation. A Forbes Magazine article earlier this year by Bernard Whitman entitled " Marriage Equality is Inevitable" articulates the generational argument. Whitman points to the generational divide regarding marriage equality as evidence that opposition, in both political parties, will begin to erode as younger -- and increasingly accepting -- generations come of age. Whitman writes, "Marriage equality is going to happen in this country. It's only a matter of time."
Other gay rights leaders, such as Joe Solomonese, the president of the Human Rights Campaign, and David Mixner, a veteran gay rights activist, also have espoused this view.
A Need for Outrage
While it's possible that this view is prescient, I believe that it is dangerous and poses a serious threat to the marriage equality movement. It is this sense of inevitability that keeps individuals in the gay community from getting outraged and taking action in their own lives to advance the cause.
This movement needs more than activists. Many well-organized LGBT groups are leading the battle for marriage equality in the legislatures and courts around the country. But, although necessary, legal and legislative battles alone have never been sufficient to create a successful civil rights movement.
The success of the marriage equality movement – like all past civil rights movements – depends on individuals. Think of the Montgomery bus boycott, or the Million Man March. It is the collective sum of individual action that eventually forces change in our laws. If the larger gay community passively waits to be granted equal rights, we should expect to wait well beyond this generation -- or the next.
For me, and for Joel, the New York State Senate vote shattered that sense of inevitability in a way that the vote in Maine, the Prop 8 vote in California and other earlier votes on same sex marriage failed to do. Having marriage equality affirmatively voted down in our home state shook us, especially because we have always viewed New York as a friendly environment for homosexuals. In that sense, the State Senate vote has had a positive effect. It broke us of our apathy and made us realize how dangerous this sense of inevitability can be.
I hope the State Senate vote will have a similar impact on other gay men and lesbians in New York. Marriage equality will not be reconsidered in the upcoming legislative session, but the legislature will take up the issue again at some point. To achieve a different outcome, individuals must begin to act now. Sustained effort by individuals in their own communities will open minds, shift public opinion and ultimately lead to the necessary pressure on or changes in the legislature to secure victory. Absent such efforts, the gay community will lose again in New York.
Marriage equality is not inevitable. For those of us who care about this issue, but have relied on others to fight for our rights, now is the time to step forward. We cannot attain equal rights without self-sacrifice. If we do not shed this sense of inevitability and take individual action, there is a real danger that marriage equality will never be achieved. As Martin Luther King said, "Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed."
I started small. Last week, I sent an e-mail to my parents and sisters telling them how important marriage equality is to me. This week, I wrote a letter to the eight Democratic state senators who voted against the Marriage Equality Act. And, next time Joel texts me to go to a rally, I will be there. I hope others will join me.

I've been back home long enough to recuperate from two weeks of sightseeing, so it's time for that most venerable of all end-of-vacation traditions: forcing a captive audience to look at your photos.
We'll start with some highlights from the Boston Freedom Trail. As I said a few days ago, it's a remarkable experience for any enthusiast of early American history. I don't think there's any other place where you can see so many important American Revolution sites in such close proximity to each other, except maybe Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia. (I'll be posting some stuff about INHP eventually, too; it was a long trip.)
My friend Ryan and I set out on the Freedom Trail about 2:00 in the afternoon. Because there's so much to see between the starting point on Boston Common and the end point at Bunker Hill, and because it was already so late in the day, I had told Ryan that we'd never be able to do the whole thing that afternoon, and that we should plan on picking up where we left off the next day. Thing is, Ryan played basketball and tennis in high school and has never lost his competitive streak. Apparently in an effort to set some sort of record, he announced that we were going to stand on Bunker Hill that very day, come hell or high water.
One of the first things you see on the trail relates to the Civil War rather than the Revolutionary one. It's one of my favorite works of commemorative sculpture, the monument to Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Massachusetts on Boston Common, right across from the State House.
Boston seems to be embracing the history of abolitionism pretty enthusiastically. I'm not familiar enough with abolitionism to know how widespread serious anti-slavery sentiment in the city actually was, but I suppose it's a handy way to embrace the legacy of the Civil War when most of the actual fighting took place hundreds of miles away.
And speaking of the history of abolitionism, just a stone's throw from the Shaw Monument is Park Street Church, where William Lloyd Garrison gave his first major anti-slavery speech in 1829.
Step over to the other side of the church, and you're also stepping back in time—two hundred years before the outbreak of the Civil War, in fact. Granary Burying Ground dates all the way back to 1660. Its age is apparent from the winged skulls carved on some of the tombstones, a very old motif that's characteristic of early American grave markers. Again, bear in mind that I'm used to touring regions where "old" means 1790-ish.
There are more important figures from early American history buried here than you can shake a stick at: Benjamin Franklin's parents…
John Hancock…
James Otis…
Sam Adams…
Paul Revere…
…and the victims of the Boston Massacre. All in the same graveyard!
The Old South Meeting House is probably best known as the launching pad for the Boston Tea Party, but that was just one of many highlights in this building's long history of playing host to protest and dissent. An exhibit inside the sanctuary details this history, from the imperial controversy to abolitionism, female suffrage, and the Sacco and Vanzetti trial.
British troops used the church as a riding stable during the occupation of Boston, but it doesn't look any worse for wear.
To me, a big highlight of the trail is the Old State House, seat of government in Massachusetts from 1713 to 1798 and now home to a museum that explores politics and public life in the Bay State from the colonial era through the nineteenth century.
You can't beat the Old State House exhibit for fantastic artifacts, including a coat and other items belonging to John Hancock…
some Stamp Act material…
…and the cane Preston Brooks used to wallop Charles Sumner on the Senate floor.
You'll also find Indian treaty belts, rare documents, and artifacts from Bunker Hill on display here. Great stuff. If you're rushed for time on the Freedom Trail and you've only got time to tour one building interior, my personal opinion is that you should do this one.
Right outside the State House is a circle of bricks marking the site of the Boston Massacre. This seems to be the popular spot for tourists to take their "Look-Ma-we're-doing-the-Freedom-Trail" photos, with their arms spread wide and big grins on their faces. I'm not sure how I feel about this; 1770 was a long time ago, but geez, five guys did die here.
Next stop is Faneuil Hall, a most appropriate place for a statue of Sam Adams. The marketplace in and around this site is a great place to pick up souvenirs.
Paul Revere's house would be a neat thing to see anyway, but it's of significant architectural interest even without the celebrity name recognition. Built around 1680 on the site of Increase Mather's parsonage, it was already old by the time Revere bought it. It's pretty small, so the self-guided tour doesn't take very long.
Not far from the house is another structure inextricably linked to Revere: Old North Church.
There are quite a few historic churches on the trail, and in fact I haven't even included them all here, but I think Old North has the most beautiful interior of all of them. (Sorry about the lousy picture focus; I was trying not to use a flash.)
Among those buried in the crypt is Maj. John Pitcairn, who received a mortal wound at Bunker Hill.
There's an equestrian statue of Revere in a kind of courtyard outside the church. I highly recommend making an effort to visit this spot at night, with the courtyard dark and the steeple illuminated behind it.
The cemetery on Copp's Hill doesn't have as many notable residents as Old Granary, but it's still worth a visit. Increase and Cotton Mather are both buried here.
Most of the sites on the trail are in pretty close proximity to each other, but getting to Bunker Hill (or Breed's Hill, if you insist on geographical precision) requires a good bit of walking. I hadn't been to many urbanized battlefields before this one, and it was hard to orient myself with all the buildings around. The monument is a lot more impressive in person than I'd expected; you can see it from quite a distance.
Here's one final recommendation. If you're going to do the Freedom Trail, you should grab something to eat at the Green Dragon Tavern in the North End, not far from Revere's house. Despite what their advertising implies, it's not the same place where Joseph Warren, Paul Revere, and their buddies used to hang out, but the steak tips are still pretty darn good.
Long story short, you can do the Freedom Trail in half a day, but you'd better be ready to do some serious huffing and puffing. The Constitution was closed that day, too, so that helped us shave off some time. There are a number of guidebooks and audio tours available; we used the Freedom Trail Foundation's official guide, which was excellent. A lot of the sites along the way are either free or accept donations, but you can get a combination ticket for Old South Meeting House, the Old State House, and Paul Revere's house at the small visitor center on Boston Common.

VIDEO: The Starters make the case for additional All-Stars
DALLAS — When Pistons coach Maurice Cheeks made each of his four All-Star teams from 1983 to 1988, the NBA had 23 teams. Twelve players from each conference, one made up of 12 teams and the other 11, made the All-Star team.
Today the league boasts 30 teams, 15 in each conference. That's seven more teams and approximately 105 more players than in Cheeks' day (approximately because not all teams carry a full 15-man roster). Yet only 12 players still represent each conference in the All-Star Game. The NBA has not only grown by the number of teams and players, but it has also evolved in the style of play, the development of young players and, above all, their remarkable athleticism.
"You got guards that are big guards, they run, they jump," Cheeks said. "These guys are more athletic than when I was playing, from [point guard] to [center]. These guys, they play more pick-and-roll, they shoot the ball from a 4-position or 5-position."
More athletic, of course, doesn't necessarily mean better, but there certainly is an argument to be made for a number of players awaiting an All-Star call. And here we are again anticipating the unlucky All-Star snubs maybe more than those who actually make the team. There's that many All-Star-worthy candidates, particularly in the overloaded Western Conference, that multiple players will be heading to the beach Feb. 14-16 instead of to New Orleans for the 63rd All-Star Game.
The seven All-Star reserves in each conference, as selected by the respective conference coaches, will be announced at 7 p.m. (ET) Thursday on TNT.
"Like the West this year is just rife with great players," Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. "There's going to be half-a-dozen guys who miss just because there's not enough spots."
Which begs the question: Is it time to expand the All-Star roster?
A few years ago the NBA expanded the active game-day roster from 12 to 13. Why not do the same for the All-Star roster? Better yet, just take it all the way to a full 15-man roster.
LeBron James lobbied for just that a year ago on Twitter: "Always believe there should be 15 on both rosters so there's no snubs."
There will probably always be a snub or two, but that's no reason not to expand rosters. Carlisle is a member of the league's competition committee, but he declined to acknowledge if the topic has come up in past meetings.
"Categorically, I wouldn't see the harm in it on the one hand," Carlisle said. "On the other hand, how much do you want to water down the privilege? That's the other thing to consider. Not that it would always be a water-down situation."
That's when Carlisle noted that half-a-dozen players in the West could be on the outside looking in, even with injuries that will keep Kobe Bryant out and potentially Chris Paul, too, in the West, and Derrick Rose, plus Rajon Rondo (who recently returned from an ACL injury) in the East.
"You add one spot and five other guys miss. I don't know," Carlisle said. "The other thing is if you're coaching the game, which I've had the privilege to do once as a head coach and once as an assistant, is you add another guy to the mix, it's hard enough to get guys minutes as it is. You always love the guys that say 'Hey, I'll just play a few minutes here or there, I'm good.' Then the guys who don't get in there enough, and then the next time they play you they're trying to kill ya. The minutes thing is another part of it."
Carlisle was joking, sort of, about the last part, but divvying up playing time is a fair point. Still, there seems like there will always be veteran players like a Tim Duncan (played eight minutes last year) or Dirk Nowitzki, who would be happy to be on the team, play a few minutes and give way to some of the younger stars. Or a younger player who will earn minutes for future appearances, such as a Brook Lopez, who logged 11 minutes last year as an All-Star newbie.
An expanded roster could also help perk up TV ratings in certain markets. In Phoenix, more TVs will be tuned in if Goran Dragic were selected to the team instead of leaving the Suns without a representative. Same with New Orleans if Anthony Davis were to make it as one of 15 instead of snubbed by a roster of 12.
"There's a lot of arguments that would favor it, but there are some that would probably caution against it," Carlisle said. "But, I think this league is all about recognizing great players, especially great players that are winning great players, and that's what guys in the All-Star Game are."

The Industrial Revolution transformed four key aspects of society—innovation, transportation, communication and financial markets—changing the world forever. Although it began more than 200 years ago, there are surprising some parallels between this historically transformative period and IT security. The dynamics of the threat landscape and the increasing complexity of IT environments have given rise to a new era: The 'Industrialisation of Hacking'.
Just as the Industrial Revolution created faster, better and more efficient sectors of the economy, the Industrialisation of Hacking has created faster, more effective and more efficient malicious group of hackers who seek to profit from attacks to our IT infrastructure. This era has profound influences on how CIOs should direct the protection of IT systems today and the future-proofing strategies to employ to safeguard them tomorrow.
Visibility, control and protection must all be central to the architecture of any effective network security solution. As an IT business defender, you must understand the baseline of your environment before you can protect it. You cannot protect what you cannot see. And, of course, once you 'see it', then you can control it and protect it. Modern security architecture should also have the flexibility to be readily adaptable to evolving security needs. It is crucial that you are able to adjust your protection, as both your IT environment and the threat landscape evolve. Moreover, it is important that these adjustments can be done economically, without ripping and replacing existing systems.
The Industrialisation of Hacking is a useful lens through which CIOs and IT managers can view and explain to lay stakeholders the complexity of the dynamics between constantly evolving IT systems and the threat environments which can undermine them.
Innovation was a key driver behind the Industrial Revolution and it helped to drive cheaper, easier and faster ways to produce textiles, cast iron and steel, transforming industries and creating new markets built on the proliferation of these materials. While hacking used to be a hobby, it's now a nefarious activity of people worldwide who realise there is value to be gained, and the work has become more standardised, mechanised and process driven. Stealthy new methods to circumvent protection have evolved. Port hopping, tunneling, droppers and botnets have made it easier, faster and cheaper for hackers to break into systems, and it's increasingly difficult for defenders to see them and keep them out.
Transportation also underwent significant change during the Industrial Revolution. The steam engine afforded more effective ways to transport raw materials and finished goods across continents and throughout the world. Today, a breadth of new devices, infrastructure and networks are providing new, efficient mechanisms to transport malware and avenues for attacks. Personal and mobile devices; the cloud, SaaS and virtualised assets; Wi-Fi and Mi-Fi; 3G and 4G; and Bluetooth have all provided new inroads into your IT systems and new pathways that must be defended. Just as transportation connected the world and made it 'smaller', so too has technology. Groups of hackers can be found in any country and their targets may be halfway around the world or just across town. Controlling who and what has access to corporate networks seems almost insurmountable.
The telegraph set in motion a wave of changes to the communication landscape that continues today. While mobile devices and applications enable instantaneous, anytime/anywhere connections, social media, websites and Web-enabled applications continuously create new ways for businesses and individuals to connect. These factors also expose individuals and organisations to new inbound and outbound security threats. Personal information, like birth dates, is now publicly accessible and, through social engineering, hackers regularly dupe users into unwittingly sharing sensitive or inappropriate information or clicking on malware that penetrate networks and can exfiltrate data over time. The bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trend is exacerbating these challenges as IT security administrators have little visibility or control over the devices and applications accessing the corporate network, and limited ability to keep pace with new threats.
New financial markets including the creation of stock exchanges, more banks and industrial financiers helped fuel and finance the dramatic changes of the Industrial Revolution. Likewise, today the organised exchange of hacker exploits is growing in strength and financial reward. The end game used to be the notoriety that came with discovering and publicising a new vulnerability exploit, but now there are significant financial incentives to be the only one who knows. We've gone from showboating to secrecy as the market for zero-day exploits has evolved and the potential economic or political stakes have become so high.
The Industrialisation of Hacking has created a global ecology where threats are increasingly sophisticated and are constantly evolving. CIOs need to turn the tables to stay ahead of hackers, while in today's economic reality, being mindful of resource and budget constraints. CIOs should employ a contemporary security strategy which first addresses the fundamentals of visibility, control and flexibility. While there are some tectonic forces driving the Industrialisation of Hacking, the ever-evolving security threats are not insurmountable and no organisation can afford to underestimate them.
