A larger-than-average number of residents attended the October meeting of the Chestnut Hill Community Association's Development Review Committee Tuesday night to vice their opposition to the John Jay institute's plan to purchase the Copperwood Estate, located at 9002 Crefeld Street, for use as a classroom space, student accommodations and administrative offices.
Because the property is zoned for single-family residential, the institute is seeking a use variance from the city.
The John Jay Institute, a politically conservative 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, wants to use the house for dormitory and classroom space to house classes of 12 and 16 post-graduate fellows. Aided by two full-time faculty members, these students will spend one semester reading and participating in "Socratic dialog." The property would also house the Institute's administrative offices.
Founder and president Alan Crippen told the committee that the institute's mission is one of Christian civic leadership and not an accredited degree-granting institution.
Several Chestnut Hill residents oppose the variance, saying the institute's proposed use is incompatible with the residential character of neighborhood around Crefeld Street.
Representing those neighbors was Debra Ferraro, who conveyed their shared concerns to the committee. Ferraro said that using Copperwood as anything other than a single-family residence would negatively impact the established character of the neighborhood and was too-intensive a use for the property. She added that the neighbors respect the Institute and its mission, and that opposition to the proposal was not personal but simply a matter of use.
One question the committee didn't address Tuesday night was whether the proposed use would be educational or commercial. Both Crippen and Primavera argue that the non-profit Institute is educational; opponents insisted otherwise.
"We don't want to see every house on the market converted to a commercial use," Ferraro said. "[The Institute] would be welcome in other areas of the city where their needs can be better accommodated."
Ferraro said that the single-family residential zoning designation is one of the strictest uses on the books, and that the group living proposed here was incompatibly dense and would disrupt the community character. She said the roads are local roads and not designed or intended to accommodate anything more intensive than the single-family residential. Other residents were concerned about parking and the integrity of the septic system that serves the home.
When asked, Crippen said the total number of people on site would include two full-time faculty members, two full-time employees, and 16 students.
"Think of it as a cloistered think tank," Crippen said. "Almost like a monastery…it's Downton Abbey."
Crippen emphasized that what is proposed does not resemble a commercial use in that there would be no food or laundry service.
Representing John Jay, attorney Carl Primavera told the DRC that the home is so large that under current economic conditions it is no longer viable as a single-family residence.
The eight-bedroom, eight-bathroom, 17,900 square foot house sits on five acres of land and has been on the market for four years.
"Our current class has 16 fellows," Crippen said. "That's as large as we've ever been."
The Institute currently leases space in Bala Cynwyd and is looking for a more permanent arrangement.
Primavera said the house itself will not be converted into apartments – students would live in the house's bedrooms and contribute to the home's upkeep. No commercial food or laundry service would be part of the home's daily operation.
Founded in 2005 in Colorado, the Institute moved to the Philadelphia region two years ago to be in "the city of the founders." Crippen said the Institute has entered into an agreement of sale with the home's owners Michael and Nancy Verruto.
"We want to be in Chestnut Hill if the community wants us to be here," Crippen said. "If they don't, then we don't want to be here."
Crippen and his family would live in an adjacent home on the property.
The Institute operates on a fall, spring, and summer semester basis.
When asked about plans to grow beyond their current size, Crippen said the program was designed to be small.
"We don't operate on a tuition basis," he said.
Instead, the program operates on a stipend basis and not a traditional educational business model. While no specifics were discussed, he did agree to limit the upper scale of the operation. No physical changes to either the inside or outside of the building are planned. Students, he said, are allowed to have cars.
Representing the Historic District Advisory Committee, Patricia Cove was especially sensitive to maintaining the integrity of the home, saying that while it is not on the National Register of Historic Places, it is listed as a significant property on the Chestnut Hill historic register.
One neighbor took note of Crippen's comment that the organization is not "well-heeled" and asked whether the Institute had the resources to maintain a historic structure like Copperwood.
"We're not walking into the sale with our eyes closed," Crippen said. "There are contingencies if this does not work out."
Resident Brad Beck, who admitted that he is not a near neighbor, expressed his opinion that Copperwood is a "significant, historic house" and urged that it be maintained as a residence.
Several residents noted that when both Penn and Temple owned the property, no one lived at the home.
"Continuous use by so many people will degrade the property more quickly," one neighbor said.
Claire Finkelstein, a law professor at Penn and next-door neighbor, stated publicly that while she respected the institute she opposed the use. She explained that one purpose of the zoning was to ensure that the character of neighborhoods aren't eroded when economic pressures force change.
Because this was the first appearance of the proposal, the only action taken by the DRC Tuesday night was to recommend that the plan be reviewed by the Historic District Advisory Committee, the Land Use Planning and Zoning Committee, and the Traffic Transportation and Parking Committee, all of which are scheduled for Thursday, November 7.

Do you have a real-life do-gooding dilemma? Please send it to email@example.com, and Patty and Sandy will try to answer it.
Dear Sandy,
I want to help deliver reliable drinking water to Central America. Despite its physical proximity to the United States, Central America has some countries that are among the poorest in the Americas. This means they also have the least access to reliable water supplies. The problem is this: I don't know how to get involved. I am willing to put significant time into a project but am not clear on where I would fit in. Do you have any ideas?
Water's PR agent must be working overtime. Nicholas Kristof recently wrote a column about Scott Harrison, the founder of the group charity: water. Four days later, Matt Damon announced the merger of his organization H20 Africa with WaterPartners. The new venture, Water.org, describes itself as "an integrated advocacy and fundraising destination for safe water and sanitation issues."
Why water? Nearly 1 billion people lack access to safe water supplies. Some 3.5 million people die each year from water-related diseases, and almost 3 million of them are children. While most Americans simply turn on the tap, people in many parts of the world spend three hours searching for clean water each day. Not because there isn't enough water to go around but because poor people are systematically denied access to the clean water they need.
But what can you do?
Well, you can donate, of course. Charity: water is working on freshwater projects around the world, including the creation or rehabilitation of 45 wells in Honduras and three spring protections in Haiti. A $20 donation gives clean, safe drinking water to one person for 20 years. Water.org also does work around the world, including in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. According to its site, 50.7 percent of Hondurans live in poverty, and 1.2 million don't have access to safe water. For $200 you can give a Honduran household tap water and a toilet.
But as many longtime funders and followers of water and sanitation programs already know, toilets and wells are much more likely to be used and maintained if the community is deeply involved in the process. In Africa, an estimated 50,000 water supply points have failed. The International Institute for Environment and Development estimates that those unusable projects have wasted $215 million to $360 million. So do your research and donate to organizations committed to helping communities that are already engaged in the problem.
That collaboration can come in the form of partnerships with established organizations (which is what charity: water and Water.org do) or by using entrepreneurship to help communities create their own solutions. Water.org has a WaterCredit program in which loans are given to communities and individuals to allow them to address their own needs. One of the five investment portfolios of the Acumen Fund, a global nonprofit venture fund, centers on water and sanitation, "seeking to spur innovation in water access and water quality by improving drinking water, irrigation and sanitation."
If you want to get your hands dirty, there are plenty of opportunities to volunteer. Water for People, a nonprofit started in 1991, has more than 56 local committees that support their mission "through community outreach, advocacy, and fundraising." Volunteer to serve on one of their committees or read their suggestions for ideas of how to educate others on the importance of this issue. If you are looking for an even bigger commitment, apply for the World Water Corps, its international volunteer program. This group matches your skills with a volunteer opportunity in one of the five countries where it works (including Guatemala and Honduras).
You can also look for volunteer opportunities elsewhere. Check out Idealist's International Volunteerism Research Center. Or search for virtual volunteering opportunities with the keyword water on Volunteer Match. From blogging about safe water to drilling in West Africa, you should be able to find something that meets your skill set.
Finally, speak up to demand change. Follow the issues and relevant legislation, such as the Sen. Paul Simon Water for the World Act of 2009 that's currently stuck in the Senate foreign-relations committee. If you support the legislation, ask your senators to co-sponsor the bill by writing a letter, making a call, or planning a visit.
No matter what you do, there's an enormous potential for return on your investment. Every $1 spent on water and sanitation programs creates an average of $8 in costs averted and productivity gained—not to mention the lives it saves.

Canyons Resort to host Grand Prix
Canyons Resort will host the Sprint U.S. Snowboarding and Freeskiing Grand Prix from Feb. 25 to March 2.
For the third straight year, the top athletes in the disciplines of skicross and snowboardcross will head to Park City to showcase their skills.
Team USA's Seth Wescott headlines the snowboardcross event. Wescott is the only man to ever win an Olympic gold medal in SBX, winning the first Olympic competition in 2006 in Torino, Italy, and defending his title in Vancouver, Canada, in 2010.
"Seth's a heavy hitter," Andy Buckley, wax technician for the U.S. men's snowboardcross team, said. "You can never count him out of it."
Nick Baumgartner, Nate Holland, Alex Deibold and Jonathan Cheever, all Americans, are also scheduled to compete in the men's SBX event.
Last year's men's SBX event was dominated by Austrians, with Markus Schairer taking home a gold medal and Alessandro Haemmerle winning silver. Jarryd Hughes of Australia finished third. Holland led the Americans, finishing in fourth place.
Buckley said wildness from other riders prevented Holland from earning a podium finish.
"That's the sport of boardercross," he said. "You can be the fastest guy out there but you have three to five other dudes out there racing with you. Things happen."
He added that this year's slate of American competitors should make up for last year's lack of medals.
"We've got four or five guys who can win a race at any given point," he said.
On the women's side, Faye Gulini is the top-ranked American scheduled to compete. Last year, she took home a silver medal at Canyons, finishing behind Dominique Maltais of Canada. Maria Ramberger of Austria finished third.
"She hasn't podiumed yet (this year)," Buckley said of Gulini. "But she's qualified well and has been racing well. She could definitely do well this week."
In men's skicross, 2010 Olympic silver medalist Chris Del Bosco of Canada won the event at Canyons in 2012, besting countryman Brady Leman and Switzerland's Armin Niderer.
This year, John Teller, the first American to win a World Cup skicross event, headlines Team USA's men's competitors. Langley McNeal, who took second at Canyons in 2012, leads the way for the women.
Canada's Marielle Thompson won the event last year, with Switzerland's Katrin Mueller taking third.
All events at the Grand Prix are free to the public.

The Splendour of the Medici
Florence and Europe
The Medici undoubtedly stand out from the numerous famous Italian princely dynasties - the Sforza, the Este, the Gonzaga, the Borgia or the Farnese. They settled in Florence in the late 14th century as wealthy bankers. Their rise started with Cosimo il Vecchio who became regent in 1434, and continued with Alessandro who was made duke in 1531, and Cosimo I who became grand duke of Tuscany in 1569. The last Medici, Gian Gastone, died in 1737.
The splendour and glory of this princely dynasty, which employed the foremost artists, were legendary. With the help of selected works by painters such as Botticelli, Raphael, Bronzino, Allori, Furrini, Dolci and Sustermans, or sculptures by Cellini, Giambologna, Soldani or Foggini, of jewels, object dart, gems, parade armour and a whole room filled with the renowned pietre-dure works (stone inlay-technique) the exhibition will document the love of collecting of the different members of the family. Never before has so much work of such high quality left Florence.
But the exhibition will also show the familys connections with France, Austria and Germany, documented by objects dart sent to the different courts either as political gifts or as part of a dowry.
Important loans from the Museo degli Argenti in the Palazzo Pitti, the Museo Nationale del Bargello, and the Museo Archaeologico in Florence, from the Alte Pinakothek and the Bavarian National Museum in Munich, as well as from private collections will help to illustrate the scope of acquisitions brought together by this family of collectors. These loans will be complemented by splendid and important exhibits from the Kunsthistorisches Museum´s Picture Gallery and Collection of Sculpture and Decorative Arts. In all, almost 300 exhibits will be on show.

One question. When the debuggee app was a 32-PE MPI job, you would end up with 32 core files. Would you check each of them manually? Or do you have any trick to parallellize the checking process? Say, using a parallel debugger? Naoya Maruyama Tokyo Institute of Technology

the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 2: Challenging School Segregation
The five school desegregation cases that the Supreme Court agreed to hear in the fall of 1952 included: Brown v. Board of Education (Kansas), Briggs v. Elliot (South Carolina), Davis v. Prince Edward County School Board (Virginia), Belton v. Gebhart (Delaware), and Bolling v. Sharpe (District of Columbia). The Court heard the cases under Oliver Brown et al. v. the Board of Education of Topeka and convened to hear arguments on December 9, 1952. Thurgood Marshall and the other National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) attorneys argued that segregated schools violated the 14th Amendment's guarantee to "equal protection of the laws." Lawyers in the case from the District of Columbia charged that segregation violated students' Fifth Amendment rights to not "be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." The defendants in the cases claimed that operating segregated schools was consistent with custom and law and should be maintained. While the plaintiffs insisted on immediate integration, the defendants held that ensuring that black and white schools were equal was an acceptable compromise.
Brown v. Board of Education
On February 28, 1951, the parents filed suit against the Topeka Board of Education. Brown was the first parent listed in the suit and the only male, so the case came to be named after him. The U.S. District Court for Kansas ruled against the parents, but stated in the record that segregated schools did have a negative impact on black children. Brown and the NAACP appealed to the Supreme Court on October 1, 1951.
Briggs v. Elliot
In November 1949, more than 100 people petitioned the school district to address the differences in budgets, buildings, and services available for black and white students. When the petition was ignored, the local branch of the NAACP filed Briggs v. Elliot in Federal District Court. The plaintiff whose name led the list was Harry Briggs, a service station attendant with school-age children. R. W. Elliot was the chairman of the board for the school district.
In May 1951, the court ruled against the petitioners, but told the defendants to establish equal facilities for black students. The NAACP lawyers appealed the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Supreme Court, however, returned the case to the district court for a second hearing. After learning that Clarendon County was committed to building more schools for African Americans and improving teacher salaries, equipment, etc., the district court upheld its decision. In May 1952, the NAACP lawyers appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court again, this time claiming that segregation itself violated the 14th Amendment guarantee to "equal protection under the laws."
Belton v. Gebhart, Bulah v. Gebhart
Black students living in Claymont, Delaware, spent up to an hour each way traveling the nine miles to Howard High, while the all-white Claymont High was located right in their neighborhood. Aside from the distance, Claymont School was better equipped and less crowded. With an enrollment of several hundred students, Claymont was situated on a 13-acre campus with playing fields and a running track. Howard High School, on the other hand, had 1,274 students and was in a "congested industrial area, with no play space." 2
After seeking legal advice from NAACP lawyers in March 1951, a group of parents asked the school board to admit their children to Claymont High. When the State Board of Education refused, the parents sued the state of Delaware. The court case was filed in August 1951 as Belton v. Gebhart (a member of the State Board of Education). A second case, Bulah v. Gebhart, was brought by Sarah Bulah, a parent who had made several attempts to convince the Delaware Department of Public Instruction to provide bus transportation for black children in the town of Hockessin. Particularly galling was the fact that a bus for white children passed her house twice a day, but would not pick up her daughter. The Delaware court concluded that "the mental health problems created by racial segregation attributed to a lack of educational progress, and furthermore that under the separate but equal doctrine the plaintiffs had a right to send their children to the white schools." This was the first time in the United States that a white high school and elementary school were ordered to admit black children.3 The State Attorney General immediately filed an appeal. On August 28, 1952, the Supreme Court of Delaware upheld the decision. In late November, the State Attorney General filed a petition for the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case.
Davis v. Prince Edward County School Board
On April 23, 1951, students of Moton High School led a strike to protest the overcrowded conditions, the inadequate shacks, and the school boards unwillingness to build a new high school. After consulting with the Richmond, Virginia office of the NAACP, they decided to sue for integration (not for just improved facilities) and to continue the strike until the school year ended on May 7. On May 23, attorneys filed suit in the Federal District Court for the immediate integration of Prince Edward County schools. The court's decision in the case known as Davis v. the County School Board of Prince Edward County favored the county. The case reached the U.S. Supreme Court on appeal.
Bolling v. Sharpe
By the fall of 1950, some frustrated parents had formed the Consolidated Parents' Group and were ready to legally challenge segregated schools in the District. With the help of attorney James Nabrit, professor of law at the all-black Howard University, the group decided to take a stand at the new all-white John Philip Sousa Junior High School. In a carefully planned effort, 12-year old Spottswood Bolling and 10 other black students tried to gain admission to John Philip Sousa Junior High School on September 11. The principal refused to admit the children, so they were forced to attend the all-black Shaw Junior High. Sousa Junior High was described as a "spacious glass-and-brick structure located across the street from a golf course in a solidly residential section of Southeast Washington."5 It had 42 classrooms, a 600-seat auditorium, a double gymnasium, and a playground with several athletic courts. Shaw, on the other hand, was "forty-eight years old, dingy, ill-equipped, and located across the street from The Lucky Pawnbroker's Exchange."6 It had a makeshift gymnasium, and its playground was too small for a ball field.
Nabrit filed suit on behalf of Bolling and four other plaintiffs against C. Melvin Sharpe, president of the Board of Education of the District of Columbia. Nabrit did not present evidence that the schools were inferior to the facilities for white students. Instead, the Bolling v. Sharpe case charged that segregation in itself was discrimination and violated students' rights to due process under the Fifth Amendment. This tactic differed from the other cases because the 14th Amendment applied to states and therefore was not applicable in the District of Columbia. The District Court Judge dismissed the case. Nabrit filed an appeal and was awaiting a hearing when the Supreme Court sent word that it was interested in considering the case along with the other four segregation cases already pending.
The arguments for all five cases were completed by December 11, after only three days before the Court. The Supreme Court justices were divided on the proper decision and deliberated for nearly six months.7 In June 1953, instead of issuing a ruling, the Court told both sides to come back in the fall to argue whether the 14th Amendment was originally intended to apply to segregation in public schools. The Court reconvened on December 7 and finally issued its historic decision on May 17, 1954. More than half a century after Plessy v. Ferguson established the "separate but equal" doctrine, the Supreme Court unanimously declared that segregation in public schools violated the 14th Amendment and was unconstitutional. In a separate opinion for Bolling v. Sharpe, the Court stated: "In view of our decision that the Constitution prohibits the states from maintaining racially segregated public schools, it would be unthinkable that the same Constitution would impose a lesser duty on the Federal Government."8
Questions for Reading 2
1. Which constitutional amendments did the NAACP claim that segregated schools violate? What basic rights do each of these amendments protect?
2. Briefly explain each case. How did each one reach the Supreme Court?
3. When did the Supreme Court first convene to hear arguments? When was a ruling finally issued? Why do you think it took the Court so long to decide?
4. In your own words, explain the Court's rulings. Why was a separate opinion rendered for the Bolling v. Sharpe case?
5. Several of the schools involved in the five cases (and highlighted in the reading) still stand today and have been designated National Register of Historic Places properties or National Historic Landmarks. Do you think it is important to research, document, and recognize properties associated with the Brown v. Board of Education decision? Explain your answer.

30 for 30 series), and no filmmaker is directing more great documentaries than Alex Gibney (whose recent output includes Casino Jack and the United States of Money, Client-9, and a segment of Freakonomics), so it should come as no surprise that their collaboration, Catching Hell, is so unabashedly terrific—a potent stew of everything that is great about both parties.
Like the best films in the 30 for 30 series (which it was originally slated to be part of), Catching Hell uses a specific incident to tell a much broader and more penetrating story about not only sports, but human nature. The primary subject is Steve Bartman, the Chicago Cubs fan who became an object of the city's derision when he reached for a foul ball in game six of the 2003 National League championship. The trouble was that that outfielder Moisés Alou was jumping up to catch that ball, and if he'd have done so, that would have made two outs in the eighth inning, with the Cubs up 3-0 in the game; had they held that lead for the next four outs, they'd have won the best-of-seven series. Instead, the Florida Marlins made a spectacular comeback, scoring an astonishing eight runs in that inning, winning that game and then game seven, and heading off to the World Series.
Was all of that Steve Bartman's fault? Of course not. But baseball fans are a superstitious bunch, constantly fretting over curses and fate and rotten luck; the "Bartman incident" was seen as the turning point when the wheels fell of the Cubbies' wagon. And that leads us to the real subject of Catching Hell: the psychology of fandom. Why do we get so invested in these teams, in these games? Why do they mean so much? And when those teams fail, what determines where we place the blame?
Gibney is, in much of his work, a visceral documentarian (usually something of a contradiction in terms) and in the film's virtuoso middle section, he puts us right into the middle of that game—the mood, the excitement, the expectation of the early innings, followed by that fated eight inning. He pulls up the dramatic music and walks us through what happened, minute by minute, second by second, play by play. He takes that moment apart: there's testimony from fans nearby (in a clever touch, Gibney carefully supplies graphics to show where the witnesses were in relation to Bartman), commentary from sportscasters, archival footage (countless angles from the game cameras, plus home video from fans), replays upon replays. He isolates people in the images, desaturates the rest of the image to show us Bartman or an angry fan, erases everyone but Alou to determine if he really would have caught it. He plays the audio that Bartman (who was listening to the radio coverage on his Walkman) would have heard, in sync with the footage, to see if Barman knew that Alou was going for the ball—and then, when informed of the seven-second radio delay, he plays it again with the delay recreated.
And so on. Much of this is just fun, a documentarian doing sports forensics. But he also conveys the intensity of what happened in the stands, as the furious fans threw things and yelled death threats—it's unnerving, as this crowd gets ugly, watching the formation of a mob mentality. "Some fans turned to a real dark place," we're told, and based on that home video footage, that's an understatement.
Many people are interviewed—fans, players, sportscasters, sportswriters—though one is conspicuous in his absence: Bartman. After he was smuggled from the stadium in disguise, after he spent days in hiding, after he issued an apologetic statement, he just disappeared—becoming, in one interviewee's words, "the J.D. Salinger of Cubs fans." The strange thing is, the film isn't hurt by Bartman's lack of participation; first of all, the film isn't really about him, and secondly, his reclusiveness is part of the story. What was he thinking, as he sat there stone-faced, beer and expletives being pelted on him? What does he think about that night now? We don't know. We probably never will.
The man he does manage to talk to, for the sake of narrative circularity, is Bill Buckner, the Boston Red Sox first baseman whose error in game six of the 1986 World Series provides a concurrent narrative for the film (and an entry point for Gibney, a Red Sox fan). Some have criticized the inclusion of the Buckner material, protesting that he's not what the movie is about, but that's an awfully literal reading—it's about scapegoating, and there's a long, rich history of that in sports, well beyond Bartman and even Buckner.
Gibney doesn't just present data points and talking heads; as is his wont, he's asking questions. Shortly after Bartman's reach, shortstop Alex Gonzalez lets a double-play ball go between his legs; had he not misfielded the ball, the Cubs would have ended the inning and maintained their lead. Freezing on Gonzalez's fumble, Gibney asks, in his narration: "Does anyone even remember this image?" And they don't. That's the trouble with the simplicity of sports narratives—it's never just one moment, but an accumulation of moments. That's how it works. But not to the fans in the stands, riled up in the heat of the moment. To them, Boston Globe sportswriter Bob Ryan notes, it is simpler, and more personal: "That guy let me down. Not the city, not the franchise, me." Catching Hell gets that feeling, and then burrows deeper.
"Catching Hell" premiered Sunday at the Tribeca Film Festival. Its final festival screening is on Saturday, April 30th; it will run on ESPN this fall.

Ill be doing a presentation soon (http://www.indiana.edu/~cacrsum/program.html). I wanted to know what you think makes for a good, interesting and useful presentation. My current planed methodology is as follows (copied from the Flash file Im using for slides):
What makes for a good presentation in your opinions?Sounds boring as hell to me. A bunch of managerial types wafting hot air on various pithy, high level statements that are brutally obvious to anyone with half a clue. I would rather subject myself to the tender mercies of the North Korean Police. They should have technical content of which there is none. ~Alt.don from Security-Forums.com
Target Audience: Workstation Installers, System Admin, Security Folk and General Gear-heads.
Presentation Format:
1. Explain the background of the exploit.
2. Show the exploit.
3. Point the audience towards countermeasures.
A Flash video version of this presentation, with narration, should be available from my website. Links to most of the software mentioned can be found though out the presentation.

The Making of Music (Part 2)
Anyone who doubts the durability of the musical imagination, and the seriousness of the urge that makes composers work, should spend some time with history. In putting together my Radio 4 series I've been refreshed by reacquainting myself with the unending torrent of invention.
There is a common complaint that few contemporary 'classical' composers are likely to survive: so much second-rate music is being produced that the tradition is in terminal decline. It's nonsense. Leave aside the fact that composers like John Tavener and James MacMillan are remarkably popular and that in the United States John Adams is the best-selling 'classical' composer for a generation. A vast amount of music from every era has been forgotten. What survives is the finest distillation, no more.
This is because the collective imagination is unstoppable. We know only three of Monteverdi's operas (and a sketchy unfinished fourth), yet around the time he was writing in Venice the city had 42 opera houses. Imagine what else was written. Think of Paris during the reign of the Sun King, when Jean-Baptiste Lully – courtier, composer and pederast – dominated musical life at Versailles.
We've hardly heard of the many other composers in the wings. Or think of British music in the late 18th century. It's something that's often undervalued because elsewhere in Europe, particularly Vienna, Haydn and Mozart were gilding their own golden age. But the Linley family – especially young Thomas, who drowned at 22 – was causing an explosion of musical interest in Britain.
When Italian opera was hastily expanding in the early 19th century, behind Rossini and Donizetti (who wrote over 100 operas between them), music was being written by composers of whom most current opera goers have barely heard. I could go on and on – early 20th-century Vienna, Berlin in the 1920s, France in the '30s…
The creative urge is even greater than we sometimes realise and, though some of what it produces will wither on the vine (thank goodness), there will always be fine vintages too. History tells us that, and it is still true.
The Making of Music was broadcast on Radio 4 and is now available as a BBC Audiobook

Hot Chocolate and Marshmallow Cake Roll Recipe
It's a wide world of cakes out there. We bring it to you one recipe at a time.
Hot chocolate becomes cake in this recipe that incorporates moist chocolate cake, marshmallow whipped cream, and hot chocolate sauce.
Note: Make sure you sift the cake flour before measuring it. I used a 17 1/4- by 11 1/2-inch jelly roll pan for this recipe, but anything in that approximate size will work.
Read more: Let Them Eat: Hot Chocolate and Marshmallow Cake Roll
- Yield:Serves 10 to 12
- Active time: 1 hour
- Total time:2 1/2 hours
- For the Cake:
- Baking spray
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (about 3 ounces) sifted cake flour (see note)
- 3/4 cup (about 5 1/4 ounces) sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 large egg yolks, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup hot water
- 4 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- For the Filling:
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups heavy cream, chilled
- 2 cups mini-marshmallows
- For the Hot Chocolate Sauce:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Cake: Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly coat jelly roll pan (See notes) with baking spray. Line with parchment paper and once again lightly coat with baking spray. Dust with 1/4 cup cocoa powder and tap to evenly distribute; knock out excess.
Sift sifted cake flour, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 1/2 cup sugar, and baking powder. Sift mixture once again, then, place in large bowl.
In medium bowl, whisk egg yolks, oil, and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add to flour mixture and whisk together until combined (mixture will be thick). Whisk in hot water and mix until smooth.
In separate clean, dry mixing bowl, whip egg whites and salt with whisk attachment on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Increase speed to medium-high and gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar; continue whipping until stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Stir 1/3 of egg whites into cake batter until thoroughly combined. With rubber spatula, gently fold in remaining egg whites.
Scrape batter into prepared pan and spread out evenly. Bake until top of cake is pale golden and lightly springs back when you press down on it, about 15 minutes.
While cake bakes, dust clean, dry kitchen towel with remaining 1/4 cup cocoa powder.
Run a knife around edges of just-baked cake. Turn cake over onto prepared towel. Starting at the short end, roll cake in towel and place seam-side down on cooling rack. Cool completely, about 45 minutes.
For the Filling: Once the cake is cooled, combine water and gelatin in small bowl. Microwave until gelatin dissolves, about 20 seconds. Cool to room temperature, about 5 minutes. Beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, salt, and dissolved gelatin in large bowl and medium speed with whisk attachment until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low, add cream, and beat until incorporated. Increase speed to medium and beat to soft peaks, about 2 minutes. Fold in marshmallows.
To Assemble: Unroll cake, leaving it on towel. Spread cake with marshmallow cream filling, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides. Slowly and gently roll the cake, this time without the towel, starting at the short end. Peel off parchment. Place the cake, seam-side down on a baking sheet and refrigerate until filling is firm, about 1 hour.
For the Sauce: Bring cream and salt to simmer in small saucepan over medium-low heat. Alternatively, microwave cream in microwave-safe container. Place chocolate in medium bowl. Pour hot cream over chocolate and stir until completely melted. Stir in vanilla and salt.
Slice roll and serve with chocolate sauce.

Cosmopolitan Cocktail
First arriving in the mid 80's, the Cosmopolitan was "the" cocktail of the 90's. While it is still popular today, some may avoid it less they be seen as simply "following the pack". Since the Cosmo follows the classic-style formula of such great drinks as the Sidecar, Margarita, Daiquiri, and Aviation, there is nothing at all wrong with this drink, just be careful to make it with good quality ingredients.
1 1/2 oz Citrus Vodka 1 oz cranberry juice 1/2 oz Cointreau 1/4 oz fresh lime juice
Shake with ice. Strain into cocktail glass. Garnish with lime wedge.
niels marthinsen 29 Sep 2007

dear robert hess
would you have any experience with cranberry liqueur in cocktails, particularlily as an improvement on cranberry juice?
there's a finnish brand, karpalo, that might be fantastic in a 'cosmopolitan'.
sinc. niels marthinsen
Robert Hess 29 Sep 2007

There are a couple of different cranberry liqueurs on the market, but being a sweet liqueur, they would provide a different flavor profile. Instead of making a "fantastic cosmopolitan", I'd focus on using them to make a "fantastic cocktail" which might appeal to somebody who otherwise ordered a cosmopolitan.
Opinionated alchemist 5 Oct 2007

There are not a lot of choice of cranberry here in Dubai and Ocean Spray seems the best!
I've recently discovered, that O.S. also offers 100% cranberry juice.. (however not available in the U.A.E.) - Anyone using (or tried) it?
I am doing the Cosmopolitan with less cranberry (1.5 cl) to get a nice pink hue and to have it more on the Cointreau side…
Further as I like more the classic (European) bar, I am serving the Cosmo in a cocktail bowl (champagne saucer) as I see it as Medium Cocktail! Only Dry Cocktails (Drinks without juice, just containing spirit base, bitter, wine aperitif deserve the cocktail glass (aka martini glass)....
NIels Marthinsen 7 Oct 2007

The Cranberry Liqueur i have (Karpalo) is extremely sweet and intense flavored - what I have found to balance it is this:
1 1/2 Gin
1 Lillet Blanc
1/2 Citrus Vodka
1/2 Cranberry Liqueur (Karpalo)
1 dash Orange Bitter
stir with ice, strain into cocktail glass

Brilliant series of videos, thank you for putting them together. I've just found them and spent the past few hours watching the lot, and annotating my edition of Craft of the Cocktail (don't tell Dale).
My favorite joke about the Cosmo: Man walks into a bar and orders a Cosmopolitan. Bartender asks, "and for the gentleman?" ;) Seriously, though, it's quite good when properly made and really hits the spot now and again. One can only drink Manhattans so many evenings in a row.
I do agree about using citron vodka in this drink, but I never have it around. I do, however, really love limoncello and usually have a bottle of Villa Massa in my freezer. Making a Cosmo with regular vodka and a dash of limoncello works very well indeed.
Robert Hess 8 Oct 2007
4:48 pm
Nice idea about adding the dash of lemoncello. Expect that perhaps a dash or two of Fee's (Or The Bitter Truth) Lemon Bitters would work well too.
My favorite (and supposedly true) joke about the Cosmo:
Man walks into a bar and orders a Cosmopolitan. Bartender reaches down grabs a beer, opens it, and sets it on the counter in front of the customer. Customer says "I said a Cosmopolitan". Bartender replies "That's the way we make them around here."
Alex 27 Nov 2007

Cool, I never really thought of cranberry juice as a souring agent before. I suppose it is, though. This video also clears up some confusion I've been having on whether or not you're supposed to shake a drink that's only got a very small amount of a cloudy ingredient in it. Now I know.
I, too, have a bottle of cranberry liqueur, and no idea what to do with it. I'm not sure if it's the same brand as what's discussed above (note that "karpalo" just means "cranberry" in Finnish), mine is called Lapponia, and is also Finnish. Niels, I must try your recipe once I've gotten hold of some orange bitters. You got a name for that cocktail?
oliver 27 Dec 2007
6:24 am
there is another drink called The Cosmopolitan and it is from the 1930something, first printed in a small book named Gin Drinks For Elite Bars:
2 oz Gin
1/2 oz real Grenadine Syrup
1/2 oz Cointreau
1 oz Lemon Juice
Historicaly both drinks have nothing to do with each other except the name and the color(!).
In our place we have a competition Cosmo 80 vs. Cosmo 30 (that means you can order both to compare them). Up to now it counts 29 : 9 for the Cosmo 30.
If you try it use a little less of grenadine an Cointreau.
Robert Hess 27 Dec 2007
7:42 am
The book you are thinking of is "Pioneers of Mixing Gins at Elite Bars", published in 1933. The recipe presented in the book was:
Jigger Gordon Gin
2 Dashes Cointreau
Juice of One Lemon
Teaspoon Raspberry
Glass No. 4, Shake and strain.
(Glass No.4 was a 3 1/2 ounce goblet)
Juice of an entire lemon is WAY too much for this drink. A proper recipe woudl be along the lines of:
1 1/2 oz gin
1/2 oz lemon juice
1/4 oz Cointreau
1 tsp Raspberry syrup
Oliver 28 Dec 2007
7:38 am
Thank you Robert, i forgot our little modernisation. As you know a lot of drinks with raspberry syrup changed to grenadine (or pommegranate) syrup so we do. also the style of cointreau changed a lot by the way. but with both recipes it is quite a good drink.
Mark 4 Mar 2008

Robert, I've been realizing that it's difficult to always have the various juices around (cranberry, orange, pineapple, coconut milk, etc.) due to expiration dates, souring, etc. I love having a great variety of drinks available to my guests and myself, but this often leads to some ingredients being neglected and going bad. Are concentrates the way to go? Maybe I should buy small amounts of each ingredient. Or is the answer in just getting over it and being happy that most of these ingredients are cheap? Just curious as to the way you think home bars should deal with this situation.
Robert Hess 4 Mar 2008
6:28 pm
For cranberry, pineapple, and tomato juice, I usually buy them in the very small cans, which keep for quite a while unopened. For creme of coconut, or coconut milk (which are two different things), the standard cans are the smallest I've found. For orange, I usually use fresh squeezed, with a couple small cans in the fridge just for "emergency" usage for those times when I really need some orange juice "now", and don't have any fresh oranges on hand.
blair frodelius 6 Apr 2008
11:59 am
I've often wondered if it is better to use 100% cranberry juice, cranberry cocktail or even try white cranberry cocktail. Apparently some stores even carry a 100% unsweetened cranberry juice.
Anyone have any experience with these?
Fred 5 Mar 2009
5:27 am
You shook this even though it is a clear spirit. On the Martini show you insisted on stirring. Why is this different?
Robert Hess 5 Mar 2009
5:43 am
It's not the "spirit" which dictates shake/stir, but the "ingredients". If a recipe includes any cloudy/opaque ingredient, that indicates it could be shaken instead of stirred. In this case the drink includes lime juice, which is slightly cloudy, so you might as well shake it since it won't end up clear/transparent anyway.
So you shake drinks such as the Cosmopolitan, Margarita, Sidecar, Daiquri, Last Word, etc. But should always stir Martini, Manhattan, Rosita, Bijou, Petrucio, etc.
IanRafferty 1 Jun 2009

Im somewhat suprised regarding the fact that a flaming orange zest as garnish has not been contributed. The carmelised juices from a flaming orange zest into the drink, then coated around the rim add an extra dimension to the orange flavours with an extra freshness.
Robert Hess 1 Jun 2009
5:25 pm
A flaming orange zest can indeed help this drink out… but something that I personally helps even more, is a dash of orange bitters :->
ospalh 26 Aug 2010

The bit about the cranberry juice vs. cranberry juice cocktail has been a great help.
When i hear/read "juice" i automatically think of the German "Saft", and only 100% pure, unsweetend juices can be sold as "Saft" here.
So i found some bottled Cranberry"saft" which was
*unfiltered (cloudy)
*quite tart
*and very expansive (
Dominik MJ aka the opinionated alchemist 26 Aug 2010

For the cranberry juice [100% juice] you need to be quite carefully - 100% juice doesn't mean 100% cranberry! Usually it is made on the base of grape or apple juice - as cranberries are just too tart. Real cranberry is a game changer - as the cranberry cocktail is really only a filler [with some coloring] - is really changes the taste dramatically.
Even more important is, to only use a small splash [or less]...
For the juices, I am a fresh fetishist! Nothing is as good as fresh lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, apple, pineapple - even tomato or cranberry juice in a cocktail.
And most of the time, the fruits keep much longer fresh, than an open can.
But the best way, to keep it fresh is, limit the offered cocktails.
In all cook shows people are talking against frozen and conserved food - so we "cocktail-connoisseurs" supposed to apply this in our own place as well…
Fewer selection of cocktails - but much better quality…

RTC's Halloween Tricks And TreatsPosted by jstevrtc on October 29th, 2010
Halloween, as most of us know, is and always will be one of the Four Pillars of Absolute Kid Happiness, right up there with Christmas (where celebrated), birthdays, and the moment of the announcement of a snow day. It seems like only a blink of an eye ago that we were those kids, but alas, each of us at RTC has long since put away our ghostly sheets and our Star Wars masks (we eBayed those) and — some more gradually than others — over time, evolved, kicking and screaming, into what we suppose you'd call…a grown-up. Just because the body has matured, though, doesn't mean the mind has, because we still get jazzed for All Hallow's. Not only is it a metaphorical "Next Exit" sign for an upcoming holiday season (which we still dig, and always will), but October 31 is a city limits line, as well. It signals that the last non-college basketball month has passed. It means that it's been a long summer, but now we're all back in town for another golden autumn in Hoop City.
What better time to reward with treats some of the recent developments or teams/players/coaches in our game we're diggin' on these days, and require tricks of things that we're not. It's time for Rush The Court's Tricks and Treats for 2010.
Treats (no particular order):
Harrison Barnes and Jared Sullinger. We haven't been this high on big men since Andre' the Giant's turn in The Princess Bride. We're just as hyped to see these guys take the court as we were for Messrs. Wall, Favors, Henry, and Cousins before last season. When each of us here at RTC was 18, our worries included things like summer fast food jobs and blowing money on these things called CDs (discoid objects that played music). These guys have to worry about things like, oh, making sure Ohio State basketball doesn't drop at all after losing the Player of the Year, and bringing North Carolina basketball — home to not exactly the most patient of fan bases — back to prominence. Plus, as they're instant program-changers, we want to finally see these dudes play against college competition. We've waited long enough. And heck, let's throw Baylor's Perry Jones in there, too.

Willard Campus: a "Blueprint for the Future" under Rockefeller Drug Law Reform
Leaders of New York's drug treatment and criminal justice systems today announced a collaboration on behind the walls addiction services that will serve as a blueprint for the future under Rockefeller Drug Reform.
The New York State Department of Correctional Services' (DOCS) Willard Drug Treatment Campus in Seneca County is launching a new phase of the corrections-based drug treatment readiness program in collaboration with the Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) and the Division of Parole (DOP) to enhance addiction services "behind the walls" to parolees as part of the Rockefeller Drug Law Reforms signed this year by Governor David A. Paterson.
Opened in 1995 as a result of the Sentencing Reform Act, Willard has served as a national model for correctional addiction services. Through this new initiative, Willard will provide a blueprint for preparing parolees for community-based treatment upon their release from prison. It represents a continuation of Willard's ground-breaking work.
Denise E. O'Donnell, Deputy Secretary to the Governor for Public Safety and Commissioner of the Division of Criminal Justice Services, joined in announcing the newest phase of this initiative at Willard today with the Commissioners of OASAS and DOCS and the Chairwoman and Chief Executive Office of DOP, whose agencies collaborated on developing the service model.
OASAS Commissioner Karen M. Carpenter-Palumbo presented DOCS Commissioner Brian Fischer with a Specialized Services Operating Certificate for Willard that will best address the unique needs of the parole violators who participate in the 90-day Willard program as an alternative to a return to a traditional correctional facility.
Under the new OASAS 1045 Specialized Services Operating Certificate, the DOCS-operated Willard Drug Treatment Campus has begun providing increased clinical services to participating parolees, including smaller group sessions and an intervention component for participants who do not meet diagnostic criteria for substance abuse or dependency. As part of person-centered therapy, and aided by more intensive, individual counseling sessions, the approximately 850 Willard parolees are taking a more active role in defining their own goals -- a critical step to successful recovery.
The OASAS-operated Dick Van Dyke Addiction Treatment Center, located on the Willard campus, has provided additional training for all Willard staff responsible for direct provision of person-centered therapy. Willard began implementing the new, enhanced clinical strategies, including smaller group sessions, over the last six months since it received the recommendations of OASAS. Within the last month, Willard has fully implemented the enhanced services throughout the facility. The program emphasizes ongoing treatment for participants after their release from Willard at another OASAS-certified program.
These enhancements will improve participants' opportunity to lead substance abuse-free and productive lives, while contributing to public safety and strengthening communities.
Deputy Secretary and DCJS Commissioner O'Donnell said, "Our focus is always on public safety and our objective is not only to fight crime, but to prevent crime and victimization. Providing appropriate services to individuals whose criminal behavior is connected to an addiction or abuse of drugs and/or alcohol will put a stop to the revolving door, transform former offenders into community assets and protect the public."
DOCS Commissioner Brian Fischer said, "We are improving upon the already nationally-recognized services we provide to parolees at Willard in order to enhance public safety and help the participants deal with addiction. In cooperation with OASAS and in accordance with this year's reforms to the Rockefeller Drug Laws, we intend to add key elements of the new Willard practices to the varied and numerous substance abuse programs we already provide at many of our correctional facilities for offenders who remain incarcerated."
OASAS Commissioner Carpenter-Palumbo said, "Eighty percent, or 47,200, of the individuals currently in the state prison system have a substance abuse problem. In light of the Rockefeller Drug Law reforms and OASAS' mandate to prepare guidelines and monitor addiction services "behind the walls," the Willard addiction services model is a blueprint for the future that will ensure quality addiction services to address the unique needs of this population."
Andrea Evans, Chairwoman NYS Board of Parole and Chief Executive Officer of the New York State Division of Parole said, "Substance abuse is one of the greatest barriers to successfully completing parole. The program here at Willard is an opportunity to help the addicted choose sobriety and in doing so eliminate the behaviors that often result in criminal activity and a return to prison. This program is a proactive way to protect public safety by stopping crime before it happens."
On April 24, 2009, Governor Paterson signed into law sweeping reforms of the Rockefeller Drug Laws. The reforms eliminate the harsh sentences that the Rockefeller Drug Laws mandated by giving judges total authority to divert nonviolent addicts to treatment and greatly expanding drug treatment programs. The law strikes a careful and appropriate balance to ensure that nonviolent, addicted offenders get the treatment they need while predatory kingpins get the punishment they deserve.
When fully implemented, these reforms will lead to a significant investment in the OASAS addiction services system.
At today's ceremony, Commissioners Fischer and Carpenter-Palumbo and Chairwoman Evans presented certificates of recognition to 14 members of the Willard Addiction Services Team who worked on the treatment readiness model.
Kelly Truax, Correction Counselor, ASAT, said, "We have adopted a client-centered counseling approach rather than a program-centered one. This has assisted participants with taking an active role in their own treatment and increased their motivation for change. In addition, we have begun providing small group therapy which has been a huge success."
Parolee and participant Victor Rivera, 23, said, "The small groups at Willard helped me open up about my problems, learn about my addiction and learn to trust. The treatment team never gave up on me when I wanted to give up. Because of the work I have done here at Willard, I now have pictures of my (four-year-old) son, and have talked to him on the phone. I know he likes vanilla ice cream and SpongeBob. He knows his ABC's and how to count, but what hurts me the most is he doesn't know me. Things are going to change now. I'm no longer in denial, and I can face my fears. No where else could I have gotten this chance."
The Willard Drug Treatment Campus provides a 90-day drug-free residential alcohol and substance abuse treatment readiness program to offenders as an alternative to confinement in a conventional correctional facility, followed by a six-month intensive parole supervision program in the community that includes either residential, day or outpatient treatment. The Willard addiction treatment model concludes with parole community supervision in accordance with the court-imposed sentence to best establish effective community re-entry practices.
The parolees receive education and counseling that emphasizes abstinence from all mood-altering substances and the importance of continuing care, as addiction is a chronic, progressive illness.
Within the Willard program, all offenders participate in Alcohol and Substance Abuse Treatment (ASAT), a drug education and group counseling program that is based on principles of 12-step and other self-help programs. It is part of the comprehensive program comprising more than 40 hours of substance abuse services and education to participants each week throughout the 90-day program.
WDTC has a strong vocational/educational component, including GED classes.
The enhanced program requires regularly scheduled, small group therapy sessions where a maximum of 18 participants at each session address problems that arise in day-to-day life in the prison.
OASAS oversees one of the nation's largest addiction services systems dedicated to Prevention, Treatment and Recovery, with more than 1,550 programs serving over 110,000 New Yorkers on any given day.
Addiction is a chronic disease and New Yorkers need to know that help and hope is available. Individuals can get help by calling the toll-free, 24-hour, 7-day a week HOPEline at 1-877-8-HOPENY. For more information, visit www.oasas.state.ny.us.

Hey Gang. This is an update to a video and a post I wrote 2 years ago. What you're about to see is my good friend and client, Shannon. I started her locking process 2 years ago. Although she had some damage/breakage around the temple area and dryness at her tips because of the color in her hair, her hair for the most part was healthy. Shannon's hair was also coarse and I knew that she would lock in no time. Here is one of the actual videos from 2 years ago. I apologize for the delay in the video. That's something that has happened since it's been on YouTube and it's out of my hands to fix. Content is still good though. Click here to view it.
The first 9 pictures represent Shannon's initial coiling session and then returning 4 weeks later for her first grooming. The last 4 pictures represent Shannon's hair at the 1 year mark right after a grooming. You'll notice that her hair appears like it didn't grow that much (the length is just a "little" longer at 1 year than it was at the very beginning of her loc journey). Actually you can definitely see how the coils have drawn up, condensed, expanded and transitioned into short locks. On the average, it takes about 10 -18 months for the coils to transition to this point – it'll take closer to 2 years for those of you who have the smoother and straighter hair textures.
Click on any photo below to enlarge and more times for extreme close ups and detail. Read and view below to see how Shannon's locs have come into their own!
This month (November 2009) represents Shannon's 2 year loc anniversary. I took the photos below after her grooming session two weeks ago. Shannon (opting for the healthiest locks possible) has not colored her hair again. I want you to notice how the hair compresses so much that there is only a little color on the tips left. (Shannon's locks have never been cut or trimmed).
The stage that Shannon is in right now is considered the "Falling Off The Shelf" stage. It will seem like her locks are growing very rapidly and she will notice significant length each year from here on out. I groom Shannon's locks every 6-8 weeks and and we both maintain them with the Healthylocks Daily Conditioning Mist and the Soul Purpose body balms. These products keeps her locks soft and pliable and helps her to maintain a light and natural sheen.
Congratulations Shannon! Your locks are absolutely FAB-U-LOUS!
The photos speak for themselves. Just hover over the picture to access the controls…Enjoy!

I would make 2 comments about this: First, you should be using the best MPI for each piece of hardware. Hardware architects pick their interface with a software implementation in mind. I don't expect any 3rd party MPI to get close to PathScale's MPI latency on PathScale's hardware, unless the 3rd party is flexible enough to change a lot of code. Second, you really can't generalize about dumb NICs by looking at SCI. SCI has a unique situation: its raw latency is much lower than the MPI latency of all MPI implementations for it. I suspect no hardware designer would be out to imitate that property! Both InfiniPath and the Quadrics STEN (forgive me for classing this as dumb, I happen to think dumb is a compliment...) get this right. Third (you knew I couldn't keep to my promise of 2), I wouldn't make any scaling generalizations based on a test with 16 nodes. Even at 128-256 nodes the picture is quite different, and that's the sweet spot that lots of today's clusters are at. So, if you want to make a scaling generalization, you should be quoting 256-512 node results. -- greg

Raspberry Pi as a Deliciously Simple VPN Endpoint
Just wrote this up for packetpushers.net , figured I'd paste it down here too so I can say I've posted something this year.
Being the networking nerd I am, I have a pretty big network at home. And as the denizens of the Packet Pushers IRC channel know, I do a lot of work with VPNs. One of my use cases is sharing the resources on my home network. My friends, family, and coworkers sometimes like to use my network for any number of reasons. As such, my internet router performs a decent amount of VPN duty. Historically when someone wants to connect their network to mine, and they don't have the knowledge or resources to handle their end of the connection, I'd dig out an old netbook or something to use as a termination point. Preconfigure a few things on it, ship it out to them, make a couple changes on their "Best Buy Grade" router, and be done with it. But this isn't a great solution. Wasting a netbook/laptop for the sake of bringing up a LAN-to-LAN tunnel is a bit silly.
Recently I got a Raspberry Pi to play with. I figured for 35 bucks I couldn't go wrong. I think I've bought cappuccinos more expensive. My idea was that if I could get it to bring up a VPN and pass packets at a decent speed, it'd be a great solution for a super cheap super easy remote VPN endpoint. Turns out it works pretty good in this role, quite a bit more flexible than I'd planned on:
- Dynamic WAN IP of the network it's living on
- Dynamic LAN IP of the unit itself
- Automatic establishing of VPN to head-end
- Unique IP to ping/ssh to, regardless of DHCP address
- No need to port-forward anything to the device
- No need to change routing to get return traffic back to your network
First, we need to enable packet forwarding on the Pi so we can actually pass traffic through it:
sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
and to make the above persistent through reboot, add "net.ipv4.ip_forward=1" to /etc/sysctl.conf .
Install the a few packages. Some error messages may come up during the install but they can probably be safely ignored. I don't recall if ssh is on the raspberry pi by default, so I'm tossing it down there just in case. Openswan checks for support on a lot of different options whether or not you're going to use them. The other packages support openswan.
sudo apt-get install openssh-server openswan uml-utilities chkconfig
I noticed that by default "PermitRootLogin" was set to "Yes" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config . If you plan on port-forwarding TCP/22 to the device, you should probably edit this and set it to "No"
Next, add "tun" to the end of the /etc/modules file, so that after reboot we can create a
tun0 interface. Edit /etc/network/interfaces and add the following chunk after the section for
auto tun0 iface tun0 inet static pre-up /usr/sbin/tunctl -t tun0 address 172.31.100.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 up ifconfig tun0 up
In my case I'm using 172.31.100.1 as my unique "loopback" to hit from my head-end network. This gives me a pre-determined IP to hit, regardless of what the local address ends up being. To get traffic passing to/from this properly, we have to add a static route. I do this with an "@reboot" cronjob. I'm sure there's a more graceful way to do it, but you want something like the following to be run a few seconds after boot when the tunnel interface has been brought up:
route add -net 10.213.100.0/24 gw 172.31.100.1
Time to get to the IPSec config! I'm using PSK auth for simplicity of this scenario. Drop the key at the end of the /etc/ipsec.secrets file. In this scenario the head end vpn endpoint is vpn1.iggdawg.com and the local IP isn't important. "%any" will let you have a dynamic local address.
%any vpn1.iggdawg.com: PSK "DERPDERPDERPDERPDERP"
It's strongly advised to use a big pre-shared-key here. I reccommend doing something like "man sendmail | sha512sum" and using the hash as a PSK. Obviously, pipe a different manpage than I did here.
Configure a profile in /etc/ipsec.conf to handle traffic from whatever your local address is to your local network to the network you're interested in on the head end, 10.213.1.0/24 in this case. Set the ID on the far end to be the same thing as the peer hostname. :
version 2.0 config setup interfaces=%defaultroute protostack=netkey nat_traversal=yes keep_alive=30 conn tunnelipsec-10.213.1.0.24 type= tunnel authby= secret left=%defaultreoute # auto-configured as local interface IP #leftsubnet=192.168.1.0/24 # local network, commented out initially right=vpn1.iggdawg.com # remote peer hostname or IP address rightsubnet=10.213.1.0/24 # network behind the head end rightid="vpn1.iggdawg.com" # this makes setting the PSK much easier ike=aes128-sha1;modp1536 # This is the phase 1 policy. phase2alg=aes128-sha1 # This is the phase 2 policy. keyexchange= ike pfs= yes auto= start conn tunnelipsec-10.213.100.1.24 type= tunnel authby= secret left=%defaultroute leftsubnet=172.31.100.1/32 right=vpn1.iggdawg.com rightsubnet=10.213.100.0/24 rightid="vpn1.iggdawg.com" ike=aes128-sha1;modp1536 phase2alg=aes128-sha1 keyexchange= ike pfs= yes auto= start
Next is getting traffic in and out of the tunnel on the remote side.
sudo service ipsec start
This is all you need to get the remote device going. with these settings, specifically with "start= auto" configured, the device will start trying to connect right away.
Return traffic depends a bit on the other end. If you can get away with putting a static route on the Pi's default gateway saying "everything destined to the network on the other end of the VPN, send traffic to the Raspberry Pi here". But if that's not an option, or you want to just play some more, we can use iptables (which is in the default Raspbian install) to source NAT the traffic to the ethernet interface's IP. This makes some windows machines behave more nicely since it looks like all VPN traffic is LAN traffic. There are 2 options to perform the source NAT (replace <eth0 addr> with the address of eth0):
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j SNAT --to-source <eth0 addr>
Both options perform basically the same function, but from what I gather the second option is easier on CPU.
So let's get to our router config. The setup below is written to be a very simple way of handling remote peers with dynamic addresses. This is how I have my head end router configured for the earlier example config. call me out if I forgot something. I have so much crypto config on this device it's sometimes hard to pick out all the pieces for one particular connection
crypto isakmp policy 5 encr aes 128 hash sha authentication pre-share group 5 ! ! "address 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0" means "anyone can auth via this key" crypto keyring spokes pre-shared-key address 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 key 6 DERPDERPDERPDERPDERP ! ! similarly, 0.0.0.0 here matches all peers crypto isakmp profile sites keyring spokes match identity address 0.0.0.0 ! crypto ipsec transform-set ESP-AES-128-SHA esp-aes esp-sha-hmac ! crypto dynamic-map vpnmap-dynamic 5 set transform-set ESP-AES-128-SHA set pfs group5 set isakmp-profile sites ! crypto map vpnmap 1000 ipsec-isakmp dynamic vpnmap-dynamic ! interface GigabitEthernet0/0 description Outside interface crypto map vpnmap
Obviously there are some security implications here. Since the profile will match connections from any device, and the defined key matches any device, if someone out there has your PSK they can hook up pretty easily. So make sure you have proper security controls in place in and behind the head end router.
So there you have it. This should be enough of a framework to get up and running using Raspberry Pi as a remote IPSec endpoint for a LAN-to-LAN tunnel. In my testing, I got 15-20 mbps to pass through the tunnel with iperf, which isn't bad considering the platform. To my knowledge this is absolutely the cheapest way to throw a VPN spoke out onto the internet. And if you haven't played with Raspberry Pi yet, and you're a networking nerd, it's a great way to blow 35 bucks and have a little fun playing with a new toy.

It comes as no surprise to anyone who idles away hours at a computer screen looking at design and art sites that the cut and paste collage medium is seeing a resurgence in importance. Sharing the internet's tendencies of immediacy, appropriation and a denial of visual ownership, collage combines anything and everything to create a natural response and reflection of our age.
The collage work of Jesse Draxler similarly combines these strengths and tendencies, though with hand-crafted technique. His mixed-media fusion of found images, typography and design sensibilities thrives in information-overload times, both in drawing inspiration as well as being viewed instantaneously. By finding source material from anything, Draxler is able to 'remix' fashion spreads as easily as referencing art movements, crafting a new 2-dimensional language that has an immediate accessibility. This intentional referencing of constant stimulus, which is manipulated first and considering after, is essentially a kind of hyper-consumption of images that might be the descendant of William Burroughs' cut-up technique. Draxler has no contention with this, saying, "Going through my Tumblr feed is like gathering ammunition which I will use myself, in my own way. I am able to see trends emerge in real-time, and I think about how I can fit those aesthetics into what I do, or even wrap what I do around those aesthetics." Essentially everything, regardless of theme, origin, niche or intent, has the potential to become inspiration.
Recently featured in Gestalten's The Age of Collage, a survey of the foremost collage artists working in the world today, Draxler's ability to draw inspiration from anything fully portrays the strength of the visual remix medium.
