Atomic ant sand
During his first visit to New Mexico's Trinity Site, where the world's first atomic bomb test occurred, polymer scientist Robb Hermes could feel the military police watching him. Or maybe it was just his nagging conscience. Milling around with other tourists, he had to fight the urge to bend down, pretend to tie his shoes and swipe a piece of Trinitite — a glassy, mildly radioactive substance created by the explosion 68 years ago.
Removing Trinitite from the site is a federal crime. But Hermes was

The County Record has learned that a Liberty County man has confessed to being in a romantic relationship with Winter McLemore, including at the time of her husband's death.
Tranum McLemore
As previously reported, Tranum McLemore, 35, a coach at Blountstown Middle School, died from three gunshot wounds April 4. The death was quickly determined to be a suicide. However, questions were raised about the circumstances surrounding his death, as well as the handling of the case by the Liberty County Sheriff's Office. The case was then turned over to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) to investigate.
A source close to the case reports a Bristol man was interviewed by an FDLE investigator last week in Marianna after his number appeared repeatedly on Winter McLemore's cell phone records. The man allegedly confessed to entering into a romantic relationship with Winter McLemore in January that continued throughout this year. He reportedly denied any involvement in McLemore's death and provided an alibi for the night of April 4.
FDLE officials will only confirm that the investigation is "active" at this time.
Because the man is employed by a state agency, The County Record will make a public records request this week for his state-issued cell phone expenses, as well as travel vouchers, to determine if taxpayers contributed any dollars to this alleged affair.

You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.
John Wooden
There isn't a day that goes by in which there isn't some sort of regret – something done wrong, something left undone. Yet each of us is given the gift of a new day over and over again, and we have the chance to try again and make it right. I can't undo the past, but I can always try to make the most of the gift of tomorrow.
I am a 22 year old recent grad who is lucky enough to have no school debt and a stable income. I also have a large emergency fund that could take care of most problems that I would face. A few years ago I was given a decent sum of money from my grandparents that I used to set up my first brokerage account. Given my lack of knowledge and income at the time, I invested the money in a simple individual account at one of the online brokers. Now, however, I have a steady job and am saving about $1000 / month that I would like to go towards my retirement. Unfortunately my firm has a policy that you have to be an employee for a year to be eligible for the 401(k) matching program, so I wanted to start a Roth IRA in the meantime. The problem is I would lose money if I liquidated my portfolio in the Individual brokerage account due to the transaction costs. So, I guess my question is: Should I simply ignore the account I already have and begin purely funding a new IRA account with my savings? Or should I continue to use the individual account until the 401(k) kicks in? Any help would be great.
– Jeff
I'm guessing that the "individual account" is simply a normal brokerage account and not a Roth IRA or a normal IRA or any other tax-advantaged account.
If that's the case, and you haven't made investment changes in that account in the past year, I would liquidate it and open up a Roth IRA using the money. It sounds from your description like there will be a net loss on the account after the brokerage fees. Remember, such fees are tax-deductible.
The only real reason for an individual to have a brokerage account like that is if you're saving for a specific long-term goal that's not retirement, like a home you want to build in ten years or so (which is why I'm using one).
I am 23 right now, recently graduated from college with a well-paying job at a good company. I have a roommate who is in exactly the same situation as me (though he's a year younger…but we work at the same place, and get paid the same amount) with two exceptions:
1 – I was fortunate enough to have my parents pay for my education out of their own pocket. Unfortunately, my roommate wasn't so lucky, and he has a student loan payment that I don't have.
2 – He recently bought a new car (before graduating) and has a car payment that I do not have.
We both are very interested in personal finance and I try to 'coach' him on things I feel comfortable about. I always encourage him to do his own homework and remind him that I'm not a finance expert, but he appreciates my feedback and opinions. I enjoy helping him out too, but lately I've noticed an underlying problem: he spends too much. We make fairly good money – enough that I never have to worry about if I'm going to have money to pay utilities or go out for a night on the town if I want. But since he's got the extra expenses that I don't have, he has less cash to throw around – that doesn't stop him. Since we started working three months ago, he's purchased some things that he admittedly can't afford including some items that he's returned to the store to get his money back so he can pay off his cards.
How can I help him get into the mindset of spending less, when he's got such a consumerist mentality? He's saving for his 401(k) but that's it, he has no other cash at all on hand. He is living paycheck to paycheck, and when you're making about $50K in Minnesota (not a super-expensive part of the country), I just don't understand how he is at the position he is. Any tips on how I can give him some advice without sounding rude or condescending would be great.
– David
It sounds like your friend is very much living in the now, which isn't exactly atypical for people in their early twenties.
I can speak from experience: when you're freshly out of college and single, it can seem like you have the rest of your life ahead of you, so why not enjoy what life has to offer today and leave that stuff for "old people."
That works only if you have no real goals for the future. Some people don't; they literally drift from one thing to the next for at least some portion of their life. The problem is that eventually you begin to realize that the time you have for all of those dreams is shorter than you think – and you've already dug yourself a hole.
I think it's very much a personal philosophy and personal maturity thing. The best thing you can do as a friend, I think, is to focus on goals. Where do you want to be in five years or ten? Tie that to what you're doing now – your choices to not spend recklessly build up the path to that goal.
I know you're politically involved, though you don't talk about it much on disclaimer-statement.info. Are you a Tea Partier?
– Shane
I am not a Tea Partier. There are elements of what could be described as the overall Tea Party platform that I don't agree with for various reasons.
However, having said that, I consider the Tea Party to be an example of what is good in American politics, even if I don't agree with the political solutions being offered. The Tea Party represents people who are genuinely interested in the political process and are working to make sure their voices are heard.
It's easy to point to political divides in this country as a reason for why nothing gets done, but the truth of the matter is that the real villain is apathy. The large "middle" of the American political spectrum – meaning people to the left of the Tea Party and to the right of the Communist Party – is mostly apathetic. The only elections where you ever see more than 50% of voters turn out is the presidential elections. Midterm elections fall way below that. Local elections? A lot of them don't even get 10% of the voters out.
Politicians talk in extremes to the left and to the right because that's, frankly, where most of the activists are and the groups that produce the highest voter turnouts. They should be doing that – they're talking to the people who are actually politically active. If someone is "talking crazy" but they keep getting elected, then that "crazy talk" is representing the people who bother to participate and bother to vote.
I might not agree with the politics of the Tea Party, but I do give them a big thumbs up for not being apathetic. They're out there trying their best to be involved in the political process, which is something every American who cares at all about the future of this country should also be doing.
This last weekend, I gave into a bad impulse when I was out with my friends. I blew $300 in the blink of an eye without really thinking about it at all.
Today I'm just sitting around here [angry] at myself for doing that. That money could have paid the rent or it could have paid off some of my credit card debt.
– Tessa
Being angry at yourself for something you cannot undo is both a waste of time and a waste of energy. It is water under the bridge at this point.
Instead, focus your energy on something positive. Look back at what transpired and figure out what exactly went wrong that caused you to needlessly spend that money, then ask yourself what you can do right now to make sure that never happens again.
You can also take direct action to undo the financial damage. What can you do today to save some money and reduce some of that financial impact? Can you make yourself a brown bag lunch and save $10 on eating out? Can you turn off the heat or the air conditioning before you go to bed and leave it off until you come home from work? Can you simply stay home next weekend and watch a movie with friends instead of going out again?
It's about the choices moving forward. Looking back does nothing but bring you down.
I'm a 28 year old IT professional, and three years ago I inherited about $65k from my grandparents' estate. At the time I had about $20k in student loans outstanding, and $9k on my car. I promptly cleared both of those debts and also decided to use a chunk of my inheritance as a down payment on a house. Today, my only debt is the mortgage on my house (no credit card debt or anything).
I ended up buying a house for $265k and I put $15k down on it, leaving me with a $250k principle balance on my mortgage. My lender talked me into getting into an interest-only loan (first 10 years interest only), as this offered the lowest monthly payment (for the first 10 years anyways!) and I was pretty close to my ceiling. My lender presented this as a valuable option because if I planned to move within 10 years, I could sell before the loan readjusted after the interest only period. Or, if I thought I'd be making significantly more by the time the 10 years were up, I could afford the adjusted payments after the interest-only period.
For the last two years I've put the nice tax returns from being a home owner straight into savings, helping me to maintain a nest egg. In addition, I've also used some of the remaining inheritance money on renovations to the house which I feel are pretty significant. I added a bathroom and a walk-in closet, and also a roof top deck with gorgeous views of the Baltimore inner harbor and skyline. After all of this I still have about $20k in savings.
Anyways, finally getting down to my question for you. Sorry if I'm a little long-winded. I'm not comfortable in my interest only loan and have been trying to refinance into a conventional 30 year fixed mortgage. Since I bought the house in 2008, home prices have fallen and my house has lost value. Since I've paid down no principle, this puts me in a difficult position to refinance. I suppose I could have an appraiser come out since I've made significant additions to the house, and perhaps it would be appraised at more than what I have on the principle, giving me some equity to refinance with.
I've also been approached by companies about "restructuring" my loan, basically hiring attorneys to go to the lender and negotiate out of my interest only loan since the government frowns on these kinds of loans nowadays. I'm scared to do this though, as I feel like it might also be a scam.
How do you feel about either strategy? I'm very uncomfortable being in my current loan and want to get out of it ASAP for peace of mind. I love my house and the last thing I want to do is lose it. I still have plenty of time left before the readjustment, but it's still looming in the back of my mind.
– Andrew
If you're interested in restructuring your loan, your first step should be to your lender directly and see if there isn't a restructuring that you can directly work out with each other. As you said, lenders are happy today to get such loans off of their books, so they are likely to want to work with you, particularly if you have a great payment history.
You are in the sticky position of having your home worth less than you paid for it. Your improvements may help in this regard, so a reassessment of the value might be in order. However, if you're looking to restructure, you may want to hold off until you discover if their organization wants to do the reassessment.
Your best move in any regard, though, is to simply live lean and save some cash. Clearly, you love this home. Now's the time to fight for it through your purchasing decisions. Live lean. Buy generics. Buy $2 wine from Trader Joe's. Sock away your money for a down payment, for your mortgage adjustment, or for whatever the future may bring.
I just checked my Equifax credit report, and I am concerned that my debt to credit ratio is 78%. This is because the only credit I really have is my mortgage ($67,000 on original $70,000 loan), my car loan ($5,000 balance on original $7,000 loan), and a $6,000 revolving line credit card with a $0 balance. Even though I have very good credit history, with no late payments or anything else negative, I just don't have much credit. I did not get my credit score, just the free report. So maybe I don't need to worry. What do you think? Short of applying for more credit cards, what can I do to increase the credit available to me?
– Kevin
This is one of the tricky areas, isn't it? The problem with a credit score is that the exact formula for calculating it isn't made public, so we don't know for sure how various things impact your credit rating.
From what I've read, in most credit score calculations, debt-to-credit ratio does not include your home mortgage. Note that this isn't set-in-stone fact because, as mentioned above, groups like Fair Isaac do not reveal how scores are calculated.
In short, unless you need significant loans in the near future, I really wouldn't worry about it. If you do need significant loans, seek out a firm that does manual underwriting on their loan products.
About ten years ago, I used to jog all the time with my Discman. For some reason, I gave up that routine, but I'm about to start up again. I have a pocket MP3 player that's perfect, but I don't have many mp3s to listen to. Do you know of any low-cost sources for good running music?
– Emily
The best sources I've found for free running music is podcasts. There are several podcasts out there that cater to this very need. Here are several of them:
Podrunner: (, )
fitMusic: (, )
TechnoSweat: ()
Power Music Workout: ()
Yes, most of this stuff is instrumental, but it's often done at a fast pace that encourages you (quite strongly) to get moving. I find it easier to just get in the zone and lose touch with what's going on around me if the music pushes me forward.
My husband's grandparents send him a modest check for his birthdays and Christmas, which is terribly sweet, but he's 34! We both feel very awkward about this – they're senior citizens on a very fixed income, and it just doesn't feel right to accept the money, but they mean well of course and we are not ungrateful – is there any way we can tactfully, graciously end this practice, or would the tactful, gracious thing be to continue to accept their generosity?
– Mandy
This is something that troubled me for years with my own grandmother.
After a lot of soul-searching, I finally came to a realization when I was having a conversation with her during a Christmas visit. She got a lot of personal value and joy out of giving me that small gift. It was something that she could still do for me, and during the year she could think that I had done something fun, just for myself, with it, and that made her feel quite good.
After that, I simply realized that it was her decision to do that with her money and that the best thing I could do is to simply respect her wishes. I would usually take that money, do something purely fun with it, then send her a note telling her about it and how much I enjoyed it. Those notes meant a lot to her, I think.
I am 22. I currently live in an apartment (lease expires at end of may next year). I am getting married next year in June (future wife graduates in December). I would like to be able to live in a house once we are married.
After putting enough money for a 401k match by my employer, I bring home about $1,500 biweekly (that's with health and dental insurance already taken out). I should be able to have $20,000 or $25,000 next June saved up. At my current apartment, I pay $600 per month about $70-$100 for electricity. Other monthly bills include car insurance, phone, and cable Internet/TV. I can usually save about $1,000 of the $3,000 I bring home a month to be put into my savings account. I would like a $200,000 house. A quick look at mortgage calculators show me that the monthly payments for a 30-year mortgage would be about $1,000. But I know I will be paying a lot more for electricity/utilities/property tax, etc.
So my question is two-fold: Let's say my future wife doesn't have a job. Is this possible? I don't think I would earn enough, but I would like your input.
Now let's say my future wife does find a job after she graduates and is able to save $500 per month for the house payment. Is it possible then?
I know I may not have included nearly enough details, but what all do I need to consider during this?
– Tim
From what I've seen here, you could likely only pull off a single-income family if your stay-at-home spouse was deeply devoted to methods of saving money during the time when she wasn't working and even sought out small amounts of low-income work that was flexible to her needs.
If your spouse does have work, you could likely pull off your plan, especially if your spouse is also thrifty in her choices and is able to contribute to the saving for a down payment.
The important thing, though, is that if you decide to get married, you completely combine your finances as soon as possible and then view your future decisions through that single combined pool of money, income, and spending. Spend plenty of time making sure you're both on the same page and you're both coming to the same conclusions – and if you're not, tend towards the more conservative option. Do that consistently and you'll be fine.
You talk about using online tools like Facebook to build up your networking. I decided to take that advice in hand, so I joined Facebook, learned how to use it, and "friended" everyone I know. Now I'm "friends" with one person whose updates disgust me and I no longer want to be "friends" with that person. Are there real-life social consequences for de-friending someone? Or should I just put up with it?
– Ronnie
You always have the option of ignoring that person's updates while still maintaining a "friendship" with that person – Facebook allows that option pretty easily by just clicking on the X in the upper right corner of someone's update and marking that you want to ignore their future updates.
However, if I don't want to be friends with someone on there because I don't like or agree with the content of their updates, I de-friend them. If someone is posting madness, I really don't think it's a social positive for people to go to that person's profile and see my name on that person's friend list.
More than anything, though, don't worry about it. Focus on positive relationships and spend less time worrying about negative ones. Good things will come from the positive relationships; rarely will anything come from a cesspool of negativity.
Got any questions? Email them to me or leave them in the comments and I'll attempt to answer them in a future mailbag. However, I do receive hundreds of questions per week, so I may not necessarily be able to answer yours.

The players have lost confidence in the coaches and themselves. The supporters have lost confidence in the players and the board. The board have lost the ability to communicate with the supporters assuming they ever had it since Leon passed away. The last CEO lost the plot, the new CEO has received a poisoned chalice. The sacking of Jim was inevitable, though sad, because he failed to identiify the problems and act upon them eighteen months ago. Some senior players are failing to assume their responsibilities. Junior players are not getting the opportunities they deserve. The interim head coach has already adopted a bunker mentality...'no, I don't know when Broussow is arriving..'.
In short we have become a laughing stock in the Premiership and in Europe, the white flags have been raised. Commentators and pundits are feeling sorry for us and as Dave Ward said yesterday, Saints are wounded and we went for the jugular. Every team facing Saints for the remainder of the season knows that we are there for the taking, we can be bullied, hit them hard, get into their faces, wind them up and Saints cannot respond. London Irish, Wuss and Sale may not have the 'stars' on parade but some passion and guts can work wonders. Sure, the teams in the bottom two places lost yesterday but both achieved bonus points and Wuss, bless them, put four tries on Sarries at AP.
Oh well, Wandies kick off in four hours, time to get the scarf out !
Its now a very similar situation, rookie coaches who may one day bear fruit trying to battle it out with a handful of players who are on the decline, being the mouthpiece to the board who lack any understanding of the internal
Workings of a team environment.......businessmen who just happen to be Saints fans muddled into a directors lounge with their initials on a car park grid.
Where are the director at this time of crisis? Where is the Chairman?
Everyone seems o have gon to ground, are they at the club assisting on a daily basis working to this crisis around........I fear not.
Posh Saint, thats a typical lets guess answer, wheres your proof that this happened?
Classic board backers reply, because you dont agree, it suddenly becomes a ridiculous comment?
90% of the board wouldnt have a clue who Allan Gaffney was and this would have been brokered by the CEO assisted by AD and maybe a few senior players?
How you can use the word ridiculous, with the last three years decision making by the board is laughable.
You should apply for a seat, you would fit in well.

Singer Morrissey is in hospital suffering from pneumonia in both his lungs.
The former The Smiths star has cancelled a string of dates on his current North American tour, including one on Saturday night in San Francisco, citing health issues including the throat condition Barrett esophagus and a bleeding ulcer.
He returned to the stage in San Diego, Calif., last month, but the British star has since postponed another show and revealed he is suffering from the potentially life-threatening lung condition.
A statement from Morrissey's representative reads, "Morrissey is presently being treated in San Francisco for 'double pneumonia,' but remains on course to headline the Vive Latino festival in Mexico City on March 14."
Morrissey's postponed show at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco will now take place on May 1.

Today we chose Otto's as our guest had not been there for some years. For those of you who haven't been there it is an iconic restaurant with many tables outside and you get a fantastic view looking back at the city. And there are always beautiful people to look at.
Today was no different, so now that the atmosphere has been created what did we choose for lunch and what wine did we wash it down with. We started with half a dozen oyster natural, the special lamb pappardelle and a Porchini Soufle. The Lamb rageout was excellent with home made pasta and a taste that was rich and well rounded. The portion was small but very filling and just the right size for an entree.
The porchini soufle was presented on a plate covered with melted cheese and the soufle stood up on it's own in the middle of the plate, wobbling around like a jelly. The taste was very light and moist with more cheese taste than mushroom, but was worthy of the special.
For mains 2 of us had the grilled barramundi fillets and one had a spagetti seafood dish. The fish was cut rather thin for Barramundi which I liked as I don't particularly like fat fish. The sides were beans with pancetta, chips and a caprese salad. The spaghetti was an entree size and was full of small pieces of seafood with the home made spaghetti melting in the mouth.
All of this was washed down with a bottle of Polish Hill Grosset Riesling and a few beers. No one had enough room for deserts but they had some on the menu which made me wish I wasn't full. All in all a very rewarding dining experience with great service and wonderful food. I would rate this a 7/10 for both.
I suggest you wait for a few more weeks and when spring is here do yourself a favor and go to Otto's for a great afternoon out. But remember it is hard to go back to work if you have to.

WARNING: This blog entry was imported from my old blog on blogs.sun.com (which used different blogging software), so formatting and links may not be correct.
As mentioned previously, Project Semplice (Visual Basic for the Java platform) was unveiled at JavaOne, both with a technical session, as well as a keynote demo during the technical keynote. The video stream of the broadcast is available - choose
high bandwidth or
low bandwidth.
This is the third part of the keynote, and the Semplice segment begins at around 10:40, where Graham presents the intro slide, and lasts until about 14:40. If you have time, you should check out all the keynotes.
The audio comes through well, but it's hard to see the screen in the video. So let me show you the code in more detail.
I built a temperature converter application, converting Fahrenheit degrees into Celsius. To do that, I dropped three components: a textfield, named
fahrenheit, a button, and a label, named
I then added an event handler to the button click event, which will convert temperatures according to the standard formula:
celsius = (fahrenheit - 32) * 5/9
To motivate why BASIC can be attractive, especially to new programmers, I showed what we'd write in a standard Java application utilizing the above JSF components:
I agonized over what code to write here. I personally don't like to use the trick with
""+ to cause integer to String conversion; the code I would have written is using Integer.toString(int):
But I'm not out to try to make Java look bad! And given that many people do use
""+, I went for the shorter solution. There is of course another possibility I could have used, which may be more true to the spirit of JSF. I could have dropped an IntegerConverter on the textfield. I could then have written code like this:
but as you can see this is not simpler than calling
Integer.parseInt() directly - and it adds more complexity to the demo. (auto-unboxing might eliminate the need for the
.intValue() call but you'd still need the cast, and that alone is a showstopper for "newbies".)
So the next step was to write what the equivalent code looks like in BASIC. Here it is:
celsius.text = (fahrenheit.text - 32) * 5/9
Notice that this looks a LOT like the original formula. In fact, at the end of the demo I actually comment out the above line and uncomment the original line - and that's the code I compile and deploy!
As I mention in the demo, there are several interesting things to note here.
- The BASIC code is extremely simple. In this particular instance, Java looks complicated. There are two reasons why the BASIC code is simpler.
- First, it performs a lot of automatic type conversions. We're mixing strings and numbers here, and the Right Thing happens. Strings containing numbers get parsed into numbers, computations happen, and when a String is needed it's generated from the numerical result.
- Second, we're able to access Java class properties using simple property syntax. Instead of calling
celsius.setText(), we're
celsius =, and the right hand side expression is fed into the setter. Similarly, we can refer to the
getTextmethod of the textfield by simply referring to it by its JavaBean property name.
Java is more strict in which type conversions it will allow. "Automagic" type conversion can be dangerous. In Java you frequently get compiler
errors or warnings if you do something that is probably wrong. In BASIC you won't notice until runtime - and hopefully it's not a rare scenario that
goes undetected until a customer runs into it.
A classic example of this happens in C, where any number is converted to a boolean when
needed - nonzero is considered true, zero is considered false. If a programmer writes
int x = getFoo(); if (x = 50) { ... }, Java would complain, because the
ifstatement evaluates to an integer rather than the expected boolean (notice that it's a single
=, not
==). In C, some developers like to
take advantage of this "expressiveness", but it's usually a sign of a bug.
Even in Java, where typing is pretty strict, you can run into trouble
with some of the automatic conversions. For some great eye openers, read Java Puzzlers! See Puzzle #1
in the sample chapter for example.
- First, it performs a lot of automatic type conversions. We're mixing strings and numbers here, and the Right Thing happens. Strings containing numbers get parsed into numbers, computations happen, and when a String is needed it's generated from the numerical result.
We're calling into Java classes from BASIC! The
fahrenheitreferences point to Java objects that are instances of JSF
UIComponentclasses, written in Java.
We've written an event handler (attached to the button event) in BASIC. This event handler is being invoked from Java code (the JavaServer Faces web framework). Thus, we have Java calling BASIC calling back into Java.
The reason I could uncomment the original line, the one which doesn't specify the
textproperty of the textfield or labels, is that
the compiler also understands JavaBean default properties. If you leave out the property, it will look at the default property (which these JSF components specify in their BeanInfos) and use that one.
textis the default property for both of these. The compiler cannot always do this - in some
cases it's ambiguous - but when there is no ambiguity, it compiles without complaining.
Anyway, at the end of the demo I deploy. This compiles the BASIC file down to a Java bytecode class, which is located and instantiated by the
JSF managed beans machinery at runtime. As a result, the application works and the JSF framework has no idea it's talking to BASIC code.
So that's the keynote. At some point, the technical sessions will be made available online, so you can get all the gory details from TS-3576. Last year's presentations are available here - as you can see, you get both the slides and the synchronized audio track. This year they asked us to reduce the resolution on our laptop, even though it was showing fine on the projector, because some recording equipment needed it, so if we're lucky, the demos will be included in this year's multimedia version. As I mentioned the other day, for now you can see some demo screenshots and descriptions in Herbert's blog.

Public Defending in New Orleans Still Rough Going
Labels: judges, legal news, public defenders
. . . is a threat to justice everywhere. I used to be a public defender in Texas. Now, I'm a public defender in Washington. Despite what you may have heard about Texas justice, there's just as much injustice here as there was there. And so I fight. And I rant. About justice, injustice, and life in general.

On Tuesday, November 15, attorneys representing Zuffa, LLC (parent company of the UFC) filed a lawsuit in U.S. district court against New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. seeking, among other things, a declaration that New York's ban on live Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) violates the First Amendment of the Constitution. In the two days that have passed since this bombshell announcement the media, blogosphere, and MMA community has been pontificating about what this means for us here in NY, but more on that later. First, a small bit of history…
Those who have followed this blog over the past year will certainly have noticed that I, and other members of the Coalition to Legalize Mixed Martial Arts in New York, have often been very critical of Zuffa with regard to their approach to the problem of New York's ban on Live MMA. One point of criticism has been Zuffa's apparent unwillingness to work together with the local grass roots and other members of the MMA community to tackle the problem of NY's MMA ban. Historically, Zuffa has appeared insular in their actions here in NY.
Since New York criminalized live MMA in 1997, there have been a myriad of attempts to overturn the ban with no result. Several years ago Zuffa began spending countless dollars on lobby efforts to no avail. During the past year the fight here in NY gathered critical mass with the coming together of many individuals who had been notable in the local fight for MMA in NY. The result was the founding of this Coalition and all the public (and behind the scenes) efforts we have made including the release of our acclaimed documentary New York Mixed Martial Arts (produced by myself and directed by Coalition member Kahleem Poole-Tejada). Still, in spite of majority support in Albany (in the Senate and Assembly), a local media who was finally talking about the issue in earnest, public rallies, screenings of the film across the state, lobby campaigns in Albany, TV and radio appearances, public panels, round table meetings, and a now thriving and active grass roots movement, the end of the 2011 legislative calendar still left us without legal live MMA.
Baffled, we were all left wondering what to do next. Why did we fail again? Was it the proxy war Zuffa is waging with Unite Here and the Culinary Unions here in NY? Was it the apathetic and ignorant leadership in the State legislature? Was it good old boy politics in Albany? Was it the simple fact that MMA is just a blip on the radar of the NY's financial and legislative problems? Was it all of the above? Whatever the reason, it was clear another approach was needed. Several of us in the Coalition had discussed the possibility of a lawsuit of some kind to force the issue, but we did not have the means to do so. We were resigned to keeping the issue alive and waiting for the 2012 legislative calendar.
Then, in early September I was contacted by Barry Friedman, a constitutional lawyer and professor from New York University. He explained that he was representing Zuffa and wanted to meet with myself, Justin Klein (The Fight Lawyer), and Kahleem – Poole Tejada (the Director of our documentary). Friedman and his legal team were interested in a setting up a private screening of New York Mixed Martial Arts. I believe I can safely say we were all skeptical and cautious, but we obliged.
At the meeting we watched the film and sat for several hours discussing the ins and outs of the NY MMA community, the battle for MMA in NY, and the rationale behind Zuffa's impending lawsuit. Friedman and his team were unexpectedly approachable. What struck me most was their willingness to admit they needed education regarding the sport as a whole and help negotiating the NY MMA community waters. Was this really Zuffa we were meeting with? I, for one, had not felt this level of cooperation during past attempts to work with Zuffa's representatives here in NY. We all left the meeting with knowledge of the impending lawsuit (and promises to keep it under wraps) and a commitment to speak again.
Over the following months I had many discussions with Mr. Friedman. He graciously entrusted me with early copies of the complaint and asked for honest feedback. Still skeptical, but fully aware that the suit would go on with or without my assistance, I offered my help. I did (and still do) believe that if we were ever to get anywhere in NY, we needed an intervention such as this one; a radical change in approach. Many in the local MMA community would not have favored my offering assistance, believing that Zuffa could not be trusted. I too had worries that my suggestions would fall on deaf ears. But, if the suit was to go on I wanted it to be the best and most accurate complaint possible.
Friedman and I had many subsequent conversations regarding NY MMA history, local concerns with Zuffa's past behaviors in NY, the need for unity in this suit, possible plaintiffs, the life of local fighters, the dark ages of martial arts under previous NY Athletic Commission leadership, and many other topics. Additionally, he met with many of our Coalition members and other members of the local MMA community. Some of whom are listed as plaintiffs in the suit.
On Monday, November 15th I received a call from Mr. Friedman. He gave me a heads up that the suit would be filed the next morning. I was nervous. There were significant risks involved for us here in NY. I had yet to see the final version of the complaint to be filed. How had my criticism been received? Were my suggestions taken into account? Would I end up regretting my cooperation? Would my friends who became involved in the suit based on my recommendation regret getting involved? This was Zuffa after all.
On Tuesday morning I got a copy of the final complaint (all 106 pages of it). As I read through it I began to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. Zuffa via Friedman and his team had done its homework, and in so doing have done right by the NY MMA community. The document presented a clear cut account of the sport as a whole. This was not a UFC propaganda piece. It truly reflected the diversity and passion that is NY MMA. Plaintiffs included professional fighters, local amateur fighters, bloggers, fans, coaches, and gym owners. The content of the complaint offers a clear account of the sport as a whole, its history and growth, its safety record, its financial importance, and most importantly its virtues. In a rare moment for Zuffa, the complaint discusses the impact of Bellator, M-1 Global and many other smaller MMA promotions. And most importantly, the complaint clearly makes the point that it is the falsely interpreted message of MMA that has perpetuated New York's ban.
After reading the final complaint I contacted Mr. Friedman to thank him for taking the local perspective into account. According to Friedman, "The complaint in this case would not have looked as it did without the active involvement with many members of the NY MMA community" and that discussions with the local community "brought the New York grass roots experience to the fore." When asked about New York Mixed Martial Arts documentary, Friedman replied, "It taught us a lot about how the Ban affected people, and it also led us to some of our plaintiffs. It is a great film, you should be very proud of it."
Friedman went on to explain:
"Obviously the UFC is an important plaintiff in this case, but we wanted it to be about the fighters and fans, trainers, gym owners, the many people and perspectives that are affected by NY's senseless ban on MMA. If one reads our (long) complaint, the center of it is the story of all these people. We reached out to leaders in that community who had been at the forefront of the legalization effort, to help us locate the right plaintiffs and also to understand how the Ban affected countless New Yorkers. And Steve, you deserve a special shout out for all the help you rendered; also Justin Klein over at Fight Lawyer."
So where does this lawsuit leave us? It is certainly not a cure all. There are risks involved as this suit is no subtle tactic. Legislators typically dislike when attempts are made to circumvent them. Passage or failure of this suit aside, we risk angering the opposition. In the event the suit is successful and the ban is repealed, we will still need to go through Albany for passage of legislation regarding MMA regulation in NY. And in so doing, we will have to deal with a more angry and entrenched opposition. However, it is my belief that we already have majority support in Albany and that many of our legislators are equally frustrated with the continued opposition by Assemblyman Bob Reilly, blockage of legislation by Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and their cronies. If Albany is forced to regulate MMA, I believe we may already have our ducks in a row upstate.
I highly suggest everyone take the time to read the full complaint. More than the voice of an exiled NY MMA community, it is a critical educational piece for non-fans. Yes, it is 106 pages, but it will be worth it. If you need some legal clarifications, I urge you to read Jim Genia's breakdown of the complaint. For some in depth discussion of the suit, listen to this episode of the Darce Side Radio where Jim Genia and Peter Lampasona of US Combat Sports sit in live to discuss the suit and what it means for NY.
So, did Zuffa change its spots for the benefit of NY MMA? In this case they did. A tip of the hat goes to Zuffa, Barry Friedman, and his whole legal team. Go get them!

More News From Greenwire
As questions build about the dispersant being used on the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the company that makes that chemical mixture has well-connected lobbyists helping handle inquiries from U.S. EPA and Congress.
Illinois-based Nalco Co., manufacturer of dispersant Corexit 9500, recently hired Ramola Musante to run the company's Washington lobbying effort. Musante previously worked at both EPA and the Department of Energy. Nalco also recruited Ogilvy Government Relations, whose lobbyists include Drew Maloney, past assistant to former House Majority Whip Tom Delay (R-Texas).
The chemical company brought on those lobbyists in March and April to talk to lawmakers about potential environmental regulations. But Nalco now faces a host of new concerns because of its tie to the oil spill cleanup.
"As events have unfolded, having already re-established our government relations presence has made it easier for us to interact with the regulatory agencies on the Hill, which we would not have had the ability to do earlier this year," said Nalco spokesman Charlie Pajor.
Lobbyists working for Nalco are "familiar with people at the agencies," Pajor said. "They know the right people who are dealing with particular issues. Knowing who to talk to in dealing with any government agency is always quite helpful."
The oil spill thrust Nalco into the limelight because the company responsible for the disaster, BP PLC, crafted a response plan calling for use of the Corexit dispersant.
Environmental groups quickly pressured Nalco to reveal what the chemical compound contains. Scientists began warning that massive use of dispersants could create unknown risks to human and marine health. And EPA and the U.S. Coast Guard have ordered BP to stop using dispersants on the water's surface except "in rare cases."
Lawmakers have demanded more information about the dispersants, which still are being used on the Gulf's surface Greenwire, June 24).
Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), who chairs the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, yesterday asked Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen and EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson about the continued use of dispersants on the Gulf's surface despite the EPA and Coast Guard directive to limit that practice (E&ENews PM, June 24).
Having lobbyists on board could be very important for Nalco, said Jeff Holmstead, a lobbyist at Bracewell & Giuliani who worked as EPA air chief during the George W. Bush administration.
"Within EPA as an institution they have many, many different statutory authorities," Holmstead said. "Certainly if EPA decides to focus on you as a company, they have a lot of leverage.
"If it looks like EPA is serious about focusing on you, you're wise to make sure you're taking that seriously and that you have people who can explain your position to other parts of the administration and the Hill," Holmstead added.
More questions about ingredients
Nalco already has released which chemicals Corexit contains in response to questions from EPA. But environmentalists and some scientists believe more information is needed.
"The overall fact the huge amounts of dispersant are being used in unprecedented ways, those are issues that BP is facing," said Richard Denison, biochemist and senior scientist at the Environmental Defense Fund. "The questions about the specific degree of testing and safety of the dispersant is really falling more to Nalco."
Denison argues that the company should also reveal the amount of each chemical in the product. Nalco considers that a trade secret.
"We're dealing with a massive use of these," Denison said. "The public health and environmental needs, I think, outweigh the needs of Nalco in this case."
Nalco said that it has given the formula information to EPA, Louisiana officials and to those involved in the cleanup. As well, Pajor said, Nalco gave EPA permission to share the information with outside labs and has given samples to several colleges and universities for testing. The company has asked EPA not to reveal the information to the public, Pajor said, because competitors could then copy it.
"We clearly are giving [EPA] all of the information they need to monitor and test to protect public safety and the environment," Pajor said.
Denison said Nalco also needs to turn over all safety information it has about the product. Pajor said that the company has given EPA and other agencies all of the data it has.
Nalco already has sold $40 million worth of Corexit, according to Jeffries & Co Inc. analyst Laurence Alexander. The company stands to make $800,000 to $6.5 million per day from its dispersant sales, assuming a spill of roughly 200,000 to 1 million gallons a day, Alexander wrote in an advisory to investors (Greenwire, June 18).
Lobbyist issues
Nalco originally boosted its lobbying presence in Washington because it sees under the Obama administration the potential for greater environmental regulation, Pajor said.
"In a very regulation-driven business, depending on how those regulations turn out impacts our ability to be a successful business," Pajor said.
A large part of the company's business is water treatment. It also has a subsidiary, Nalco Mobotec, which provides engineering technologies to reduce air pollutants like sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and particulate matter. It can sell those technologies to large business including mining operations, paper makers and food processors, Pajor said.
As EPA considers changes to air pollution regulations, Nalco would be affected, he said. Musante, who worked as a coordinator, special assistant, communications officer and analyst at EPA, is Nalco's new government relations manager. She has previously lobbied for power company Mirant Corp.
"She's coordinating our interactions with government agencies and legislators," Pajor said.
Musante did not respond to a request for comment.
Beyond Maloney, other lobbyists at Ogilvy who are working for Nalco include Chris Giblin, who previously was chief of staff to Rep. John Carter (R-Texas), legislative director for Rep. Charlie Norwood (R-Ga.) and legislative assistant to Rep. Jack Fields (R-Texas).
While working for Norwood and Fields, Giblin "handled energy, environment, telecommunications and healthcare issues," before the Energy and Commerce Committee, according to his Ogilvy biography. Giblin also previously worked in the Washington office of Reliant Energy Inc., focusing on "crisis management related to the California electricity crisis of 2000," the Ogilvy biography said.
Nalco also has help from Ogilvy lobbyist Gordon Taylor, who worked as chief of staff and legislative director to Rep. Chris John (D-La.)

Since 1989, the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) has distributed funds from a 1/10 of 1% sales and use tax to cultural facilities throughout the seven-county Denver, Colorado metropolitan area. The funds support cultural facilities whose primary purpose is to enlighten and entertain the public through the production, presentation, exhibition, advancement and preservation of art, music, theatre, dance, zoology, botany, natural history and cultural history.
The distribution budget for scientific and cultural organizations in the seven-county area is approximately $40 million annually. And we've discovered that funding on that scale, delivered to a local area, makes a profound impact. As a result, the Denver Metro area is now in the national spotlight and has been elevated in stature to a world-class cultural center.
Voters reaffirmed their support of the SCFD tax in 1994 and again in 2004 by voting to extend the SCFD tax with 65% voter approval. Voters will have another opportunity to extend the SCFD in November 2016 before the June 2018 sunset date.

Biogen Idec's ALS drug falls short in trials
Biogen Idec. Inc. has halted development of an experimental drug to treat the devastating neurodegenerative disorder known as Lou Gehrig's disease, saying Thursday that it proved ineffective in a late-stage clinical trial.
The decision deals a blow to an estimated 30,000 Americans who suffer from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, a fatal condition for which there is no cure.
"There were a lot of people hanging onto this as their hope, just wishing for something." said Marilyn Sanford of Tewksbury, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2008 and has spoken with Biogen Idec scientists about living with the disease.
It was also a setback for Weston-based Biogen Idec and its chief executive, George A. Scangos, who had bet more than $80 million on the high-risk ALS program in 2010 when he licensed dexpramipexole — the compound used in the drug — from Knopp Biosciences LLC, of Pittsburgh.
"This is heartbreaking for us and especially for the team that was involved," said Dr. Gilmore N. O'Neill, a neurologist who is vice president of clinical development at Biogen Idec. "Many of us have been working for years with patients and families as they face this disease."
Lou Gehrig's disease gained wide attention in Massachusetts in 2011 when a former governor, Paul Cellucci, 64, disclosed he had been diagnosed with ALS two years earlier.
Typically, ALS symptoms appear after age 50.
While most drug candidates fail, dexpramipexole made it to a Phase 3 clinical trial — typically the final step before drug companies seek approval from the Food and Drug Administration to market a treatment. That raised ALS patients' expectations.
"Getting this to a Phase 3 trial was a big deal," said Lynn Aaronson, executive director of the Massachusetts chapter of the ALS Association, a nonprofit working to find an ALS cure. "We were all just stunned today. The news came out of left field for us."
The experimental treatment had earlier shown "a hint" of effectiveness in a smaller mid-stage clinical study, O'Neill said, but there was "an absence of observable benefits in function or survival for ALS patients or any subgroup" in Biogen Idec's larger Phase 3 trial.
That testing involved 942 patients at 81 sites around the world over 18 months. Some were given the Biogen Idec drug, while others received placebos.
O'Neill said Biogen Idec remains committed to advancing treatments for ALS, both in its own preclinical programs and through alliances with Harvard University, the University of Massachusetts, and other biotechnology and academic researchers worldwide. Biogen Idec's study will help physicians diagnose the disease sooner and better understand its progression, he said.
ALS, which affects about five out of every 100,000 people globally, prevents nerve cells from sending messages to muscles, leading to muscle weakening, twitching and, eventually, paralysis.
As the condition worsens, patients find it difficult to breathe. Most die within three to five years after they are diagnosed.
Riluzole, the only ALS medicine approved by the FDA, can slow symptoms, helping patients to live longer. All of the ALS patients taking part in the dexpramipexole clinical trial were also taking riluzole.
"We're saddened by the news," Carrie Martin Munk, a national spokeswoman for the ALS Association in Washington, D.C., said of the trial's failure.
"It has to be disappointing to the thousands of people with ALS and their families. When you're dealing with a disease like ALS, and you have only one FDA-approved drug, hope is really centered on all of the potential therapies."
Shares of Biogen Idec, which tumbled nearly 6 percent in premarket trading Thursday morning, rebounded to close down 1.4 percent at $147.86, losing $2.14.
Some industry analysts said they had not built the drug candidate into their revenue projections for the company because of the nature of ALS research and development.
"ALS trials are considered risky due to high patient variability and significant number of past clinical failures," Robyn Karnauskas, a biotechnology analyst for Deutsche Bank in New York, wrote in a note to investors.
Karnauskas said she was more focused on Biogen Idec's potential multiple sclerosis treatments, including the promising BG-12 pill. Biogen Idec is awaiting an FDA ruling during the first half of this year on its application to start selling BG-12.
In a separate note, Marko Kozul and Irene Lau, analysts for the Boston investment bank Leerink Swann, wrote, "We believe [Wall Street] expectations were low for the trial with little premium in Biogen Idec shares."
Tackling the ALS challenge was thought to be a bold move for Scangos, who spun off Biogen Idec's cancer research programs shortly after taking over as chief executive in 2010 to concentrate on areas such as neurology and hematology.
That summer, Biogen Idec entered into a deal with Knopp Biosciences under which the Weston company agreed to license dexpramipexole. As part of the agreement, Biogen Idec purchased $60 million of Knopp stock and made an upfront payment of $20 million to take the drug forward in clinical trials.
But as evidenced by Thursday's setback, ALS has proved a particularly difficult condition for medical researchers to figure out.
"This is a complex disease," said Steven Perrin, chief executive for the ALS Therapy Institute, a Cambridge group dedicated to finding treatments for Lou Gehrig's disease. "It's not an easy puzzle to solve. There's lots of different things going wrong, and there's a lot of variability in patients' progression, which makes clinical studies more difficult."
Regardless, Perrin said, ALS patients and neurological researchers remain upbeat about at least two other therapies still undergoing early-stage clinical studies.
"I'm sure our hopes will be dashed for a few days, but then we'll rebound and start following another new drug in the pipeline," said Sanford, the ALS patient from Tewksbury. " After all, what other alternative exists for us?"

Quadcopters have come on the scene in a big way. Here at Council Blogs we took a break from WordPress discussions and talked about quad copter technology. The DJI Phantom has an on-board camera complete with a gimbal that allows the camera to stay steady as the craft has to pitch for directional control. The quad beams down it's live video signal to the controller which in turn acts as a WIFI hot spot to feed an idevice or an android device. The quad copter is part of the Studio YouTube portfolio of TPM Technologies. Here you can see a shot of the landing pad. If you want to see a video of some footage taken with the quadcopter you can visit one video here.

March 17, 2014, 3D printing Shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day
Got Green Filament? With St. Patrick's Day around the corner why not print out some Shamrock shaped devices on your 3D printer? The bloggers here at Council Blogs are counting their petals in case there's a four leaf clover. How is the Shamrock associated with St. Patrick? The story goes that St. Patrick used the Shamrock as a way of explaining the Trinity.

A 24 hr Day in the Life of a 3D Printer
We overheard the Makerbot talking to itself at the 3D Cyber Wigwam today…
12:00 am I'm awake but no one is stirring. The part from yesterday is still on the build plate.
5:30 am The Boss is awake. Time to look sharp.
5:35 am That door clamp is removed from the build plate. That was a 3 hour build. I put a lot of layers into that one.
5:36 am Boss wants to change filaments. I have to heat up the head.
5:37 am Pink? What's he got in mind now?
5:38 am Oh Boy, here comes the instructions. A piece of cake. This one is only 23,462 blocks.
5:39 am Build plate is heating, come on.
5:43 am Build plate is 110C. Fire up the extruder.
5:44 am Build plate is 110C, Extruder is 220C.
5:45 am Bring the build plate up and start extruding.
5:46 am First layer complete. Hmmm, interesting pattern. Now for layer 2. This one has 3 solid layers to begin.
5:48 am Now we begin the honeycomb fill. Trace, trace, trace.
6:15 am Ooo, the extruder is getting too hot, a little more fan.
7:00 am I see, this is a personalized key ring that looks like a karabiner.
7:10 am I see. It's personalized with writing on the side, "Rachel." That must be why it's pink.
7:20 am Now to finish the top layers.
7:30 am Complete! TaDa! Ring the bell.
7:31 am They must be in a hurry today. They are switching in a new program. 264,516 blocks. This one's going to take a while to crunch.
7:32 am The build plate hasn't cooled too much. Come on, get to temp.
7:34 am Build plate up to temp, Bring up the extruder.
7:37 am OK! Let's start laying some extrusion. Hmmm, interesting pattern.
7:38 am Got to fill it in.
7:39 am Next solid layer.
7:40 am One more solid layer.
7:41 am Now the honey comb. How deep is this thing?
7:42 am I think it's another one of those roof rack accessories. Time will tell. It's not too often we have a large radius like this.
8:30 am Oh, boy this is getting boring, we've done the same pattern now for 40 layers. What's that in human speak? 1/2 an inch?
8:45 am Temps ok. Something different coming up. Oh goody.
8:50 am A couple holes on the side wall. Careful that they don't sag.
9:40 am I feel like I've spent my life on this pattern.
9:45 am Hey, it's time for the top surface. It's got the part number in it. That's what those funny notches were.
9:50 am One more stitch, we're done! Lower the build plate. Turn the heaters off. Ring the bell.
10:50 am Did anyone hear us?
11:50 am Did anyone hear us? This part is complete.
12:50 am Hey, anyone out there? There's a part on the build plate.
1:50 pm Hmm, we finished it, right?
2:50 pm Should we ring the bell again?
3:50 pm We could do it again. No, that wouldn't work. That thing is still sitting on the build plate, in the way. Besides the heaters are all cooled off.
5:50 pm Just our luck they'll show up at supper time and expect us to work.
7:50 pm Hey, someone pulled the program chip out. Maybe something will happen.
8:30 pm Finally we got that thing off the build plate. It was starting to grow barnacles.
9:30 pm Here comes the program chip. What's in store?
9:31 pm 860,567 blocks? That will take us all night!
9:32 pm Build plate heater on. Hey you've got to get to 110C, don't take all day.
9:52 pm Build plate up to temp. Fire up the extruders.
9:55 pm OK! Start laying extrusion.
10:05 pm Hmm, this pattern looks familiar.
10:30 pm It's similar but different. Time for honeycomb.
11:30 pm I see, it's pretty much the same except they made that hole bigger. Make sure it doesn't sag!
11:59 pm This is boring. I feel like I've been doing this all day. Move, extrude, move extrude, move, extrude. How deep is this thing anyway?
1 inch cube technology at Council Blogs & Studio YouTube
How much can you fit in a one inch cube? The bloggers at Council Blogs saw the latest addition at Studio YouTube. It is a small self contained video camera that fits in a case 1 inch X 1 inch X 1 inch. The unit sports a 1/4″ tripod mount, infrared LEDs for night vision, a slot for a micro SD memory chip, power and operation buttons, LED indicators, and a USB connection. The battery is self contained. Initial experiments with the SYT quad copter went well as far as the video. The weight and balance in relation to the quad copter is another story. Great footage of aerial acrobats and crash landings looking sideways when the dust settles. The technology of video capture at this size is quite amazing and intriguing. This paves the way for the DIY Drone project at SYT later this fall.
Does 500 Gigabytes help you to remember? Don't forget backups!
The continual price drop of memory for computers is simply amazing. The bloggers here at the Cyber Wigwam collectively tickle close to 3 Terabytes of memory every time we meet. WordPress blogs and applications do have a bit of a memory load. The ease at which we can generate content and store it helps us to amass a tremendous amount of "stuff" in our computers and hard drives. Here at lept Like A Blog we have turned to external hard drives and USB memory sticks as storage devices. The main thing is to remember to back it up. Hours of work can quickly dissipate when a memory device fails. In one case we have worn out an SD chip where the pins have become detached and one computer will not read the chip. Luckily, not all chip readers are created equal and some of the computers at Council Blogs will still read it. Which begs the question. How big is the cloud and how often is it backed up? Just like Click and Clack, our parting close is "and don't backup like my brother!"
MayDay: Time for spring cleaning on those 17 draft blog posts
Most of the bloggers here at the Cyber Wigwam have kept up posting on a regular basis. Inside of the WordPress dashboard their list of draft posts is minimal. In a few rare cases the list of draft posts is quite long.
With spring in the air and May Day around the corner it is time to think about allowing some of those great ideas to sprout. Who knows what profound thoughts lurks in those top of mind ramblings. WordPress.com has a neat feature that allows you to send a link of your draft post to trusted advisors for their feedback. It is called "Request Feedback" and is a button below the post editor box in the Writing Helper box.
Your trusted advisors will receive an email with a link to your draft. When they click on that link they can view your draft and have a box to comment. You can then look at the list of comments in the same Request Feedback box. So now that spring is here, take a look at those lists of draft posts and see what can be finished up.

April showering of SEO in 2013: tags
With April showers misting outside it is time to revisit the SEO advantage of metatags in your blogging. Sort of a strange name and WordPress has shortened it to "Tags." All the bloggers here at the cyber wigwam have moved their Tags sidebar box up under the Publish box to be a little more prominent. Tags are one of the most important elements of getting SEO* advantage from your blog posts. It is like hanging tags on your blog post that say "Find Me!" We've had cases at Council Blogs where one blog post with very unique tags can be found on the first page of Google. The really neat thing that our bloggers find is that they can attach their blog posts to their other social media accounts like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Maybe someday, even YouTube. At lept Like A Blog we call this the Social Media Marketing Framework.
*SEO – What the heck is that? Search Engine Optimization.
St. Patrick's Day — Time for getting those blog posts out in 2013
Like the 3 elements of the shamrock there are 3 good reasons to adding blogging to your web presence. Of course, that's assuming you have a web presence. If you don't then adding a blog is an efficient way to develop a web presence too. Here at the Cyber wigwam the bloggers realize that having good content is what readers are attracted to.
1. "Content is King"
The more you have something genuine to say the more people will be interested to read. It doesn't necessarily have to be profound. Just like the old adage, "be yourself."
2. Keeping Fresh
With unique content comes great responsibility to keep it up. Consistently providing your readers with news is almost as important as the news itself. People will be attracted to your ability to keep them informed when you set a pace and stick to it. We find at Council Blogs that once a week is a good pace. You don't kill yourself but if published regularly, your readers are kept informed.
3. News is attractive to Search Engines
Search engines like finding new stuff. What's newer than your post with unique content? We find at the cyber wigwam that the more natural, "organic" methods for SEO incorporate consistency and good tagging. There is no better way to keep your readers satisfied and at the same time increase your "findability" than publishing your blog posts. Well, YouTube videos can be as powerful but require a little more energy to produce. Actually, some bloggers at the cyber wigwam are repurposing their blog posts into YouTube videos. That works really well too! You can find training and courses in both at lept Like A Blog.
5 Productivity tips for Busy Bloggers in 2013
Ever wonder how you could be more productive in your blogging other than typing faster? The left hand shortcut keys are your answer. If you want to be more productive like the bloggers here at the Cyber Wigwam you can practice using the shortcuts listed below. Adapted into Windows from the early Apple days who pulled it from high-end workstations at the time, there is a series of keys that give your left hand something to do while your right hand is busy with the mouse. Once you get used to how they work you can increase your productivity. The letters don't literally make sense but are chosen to use the lower bank of left-most keys to make it easy for your left hand. The technique is to use the Ctrl key. The nice thing is that most applications support the functionality. Here are the keys:
Ctrl-Z : Undo
Ctrl-X : Cut
Ctrl-C : Copy
Ctrl-V : Paste
Ctrl-A : Select all
The Apple keyboard works the same and you can use the Apple key instead of the Ctrl key. Get more productive and practice using your shortcut keys today.

Programs : Budget Sheet
The following listing represents the Fall Budget Sheet for SIT Uganda: Development Studies.
Fall Budget Sheet for SIT Uganda: Development Studies
|Budget Item
|Emory student
|Emory Tuition (billed through Emory OPUS system) *
|Billable subtotal:
|Non-Refundable Application Fee (to be paid directly by student)
|Non-Academic Program Costs (to be paid directly by student to SIT)
|Airfare (to be paid directly by student)
|Visa (to be paid directly by student)
|Books (to be paid directly by student)
|Personal Expenses (to be paid directly by student)
|Immunizations (to be paid directly by student)
|Non-billable subtotal:
|Since the students who are participating in the program will be fully enrolled at Emory and receive Emory credit, they will be charged regular Emory tuition for participation in the program. The tuition bill will come from Emory's Office of Student Financial Services during the normal billing cycle for the semester. The non-refundable $300 application deposit will be applied towards program tuition. Existing federal and Emory-based financial aid will be applied towards the program costs. Please review the Emory Credit and Cost Policy .
The "billable subtotal" subtotal above lists the charges that will appear on the Emory OPUS bill. The "non-billable" subtotal above lists the additional estimated expenses. All costs are subject to change.
Students will receive a separate bill from SIT covering non-academic program costs; estimated costs cover room and board.
Additional expenses (to be paid directly by student) include all personal expenses and books & supplies, immunizations, visa and local transportation.
Students with a high level of financial need may qualify for a waiver of the $75 application fee and a deferment of the $300 deposit; students should contact their OISP advisor for details/eligibility. Students who receive the deposit deferment are held accountable to the same refund policy as those students who submit the deposit; you will be billed $300 if you withdraw from the program, in addition to any applicable withdrawal fees.
Students should also budget for vaccinations they may need - an appointment with the travel Nurse at Student Health Services is strongly recommended. Here is an overview of what the vaccinations cost. Students on the Emory Healthcare plan are covered:
Approximate rates (rates may change or vary)
Yellow Fever: $101.00
Hepatitis A: $99.00 (2 in the series)
Hepatitis B: $74.00 (2 in the series)
Typhoid: Injection- $70.00 or Oral $61.00
Rabies: $186.00 (3 in a series)
Polio: $37.00
These are estimated costs provided by the Emory Travel Clinic (costs will vary by office).

Now I want to move everything to my VPS: So how do I do the following:
- Install CPANEL on my VPS and access it remotely from my Web Browser?
- Point my Domain name to my VPN static IP address?
- Mail server to point to my static IP? Do I need to setup a new Mail server on the VPS or is that managed by CPANEL?
- Do I need to install a DNS server on my VPS or how does it work? (relates to point nr 2)

Did a prohibitive NC-17 rating stop moviegoers from seeing "Killer Joe" at theaters this weekend?
Maybe. The film, which stars Matthew McConaughey as a Dallas detective who also kills people for money, debuted in limited release this weekend and grossed $37,864, according to an estimate from distributor LD Entertainment. Playing in three New York theaters, that amounted to only a so-so per-location average of $12,621.
The last NC-17 rated film to hit theaters, the sex-addict drama "Shame," started off with a per-theater average of $36,118 in December. That movie, which starred Michael Fassbender, ultimately collected $3.9 million -- making it the seventh-highest grossing film ever with the restrictive rating. The No. 1-grossing NC-17 film of all time is "Showgirls," about a dancer in Las Vegas, which sold $20.4 million worth of tickets in 1995.
In March, LD Entertainment president David Dinerstein sought to have the film's rating downgraded to an R, but the Motion Picture Assn. of America upheld the NC-17 label, citing "graphic disturbing content involving violence and sexuality, and a scene of brutality."
The picture, which premiered a year ago at the Venice International Film Festival, has so far earned respectable reviews and currently has a 75% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Directed by William Friedkin -- best known for helming "The Exorcist" -- the ultra-violent movie also stars Emile Hirsch, Gina Gershon and Juno Temple.
Next weekend, the box office prospects for "Killer Joe" may start to become clearer when the film expands to six additional cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago and Dallas.
