How did you become involved as student secretary of the OSU Marching Band? The band hosts a recruitment event each year for high school juniors and seniors and having attended both my junior and senior years, I knew about student staff. I decided to apply after I got home from this event my senior year and was lucky enough to receive an interview a few weeks later!
Name Kayla Krocker.
Hometown Tuscarawas, Ohio.
Education? 2010 graduate of Indian Valley High School, fourth year (senior) at The Ohio State University, majoring in public affairs (although I will be going an extra semester and will graduate winter 2014).
How did you become involved as student secretary of the OSU Marching Band? The band hosts a recruitment event each year for high school juniors and seniors and having attended both my junior and senior years, I knew about student staff. I decided to apply after I got home from this event my senior year and was lucky enough to receive an interview a few weeks later!
Unfortunately, the interview was scheduled to be on the night of my last high school band concert and not wanting to miss that, I was torn. Dr. Woods, the director at the time, decided that it would be OK to do a phone interview. I did the interview before the concert and came home to a message from him on the answering machine saying that I had got the job!
Needless to say, I was thrilled. Having played woodwind instruments in high school, I knew this was going to be my way to be involved with the all-brass band, without actually learning a brass instrument and trying out.
What other kind of jobs have you done, both for the band, and also during the summer? I've held the typical college-kid summer jobs, such as working at Arby's for a summer. Last summer was my first that I stayed in Columbus. I had an internship with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Ohio, in addition to working some at the band center.
Within the band, there are no surprises with what task I might be handed next. My main tasks are facilitating the challenge process within the marching band, co-managing the Facebook, Twitter and website for the marching band; recording attendance and submitting grades for the members of our athletic band program; and going outside with the band once a week for water duty. However, a trip to a store to get a prop for a show or even helping to paint a banner have both been tasks I have helped with this season.
What has been your most memorable band event of this football season? I don't think I can pinpoint just one moment. One of the most inspiring was seeing the Ohio State School for the Blind perform Braille Script Ohio alongside the OSUMB. Another one I loved was the excitement from the band just after performing the now viral Hollywood Blockbusters show. I think we all knew that something really great had just taken place. Our trip to California was also very memorable, as all of our away trips have been.
What have been some highlights from your entire band career? One of my favorite days since I started working for the band was back in 2011, during the celebration for the 75th anniversary of Script Ohio. I was given the true honor of being able to be a guide for Clark Hammit, an alumnus who was in the very first Script Ohio back in 1936, and his daughter and son-in-law. To see him rise to his feet when the band played "Carmen Ohio," our alma mater, was enough to bring tears to my eyes.
Describe your feelings during the recent OSU vs. Michigan game: I was so nervous! I knew the Buckeyes could pull it off, but it was sure a nail-biter. The last time I was at The Game, we lost, and that was terrible, so I was really hoping to not have to fight through the crowd of M*ch*g@n fans again.
What's your daily routine? I typically wake up at around 7 a.m. to get ready for my day. Most days, I have class at 9:10 a.m., so this leaves me plenty of time to get ready then catch the bus to campus from my apartment. I go from class to class and typically get done around 2:05 p.m.
Student staff is required to be at the band center an hour before the rest of the band, so I rush home to grab my band stuff and drive to be at the stadium by 3:10 p.m. After band at about 6:45 p.m., I go home, eat some dinner, and start my homework and studying for the day.
By time that is done, it is about midnight. At that point, I am exhausted and pretty much fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. And then it starts all over the next day!
What does your typical game day consist of? For a noon game, my game day starts at about 3 a.m. when I wake up, do band hair (an extremely tight bun) and get into uniform. Student staff is required to be at the band center seven hours before kickoff, so 4:30 a.m. on these days. We typically eat breakfast together then go to our individual offices to do what we need to do to get ready for the day. For me, this includes going up to the Ohio Stadium press box to set out media guides for the guests that day. After this is done, I have game day water/field set-up duty.
Once the band is down at the field, we all take part in uniform inspections to make sure we all look our best. After morning rehearsal is done, I help some other staff members tear down the field and get any props into the stadium.
Then, at about 9:15 a.m. on noon game days, it's lunchtime. As soon as we are done eating, we head over to Skull Session (a pep rally with the band two hours prior to every home game) to make sure everything is ready for the band to march over. Skull Session is one of the points in the day that student staff actually gets to relax a bit and enjoy the show.
As soon as it's over though, we gather everything at Skull Session and head to the stadium. We get everything set up there and then it's time for the band's traditional ramp entrance. For the last two years, my job during this has been ramp/hat guard, or making sure no one from the crowd on the field tries to walk through the band and picking up any hats that might fall off during pregame. Then, we get to cheer on the Buckeyes until it is time to get ready for halftime. I typically resume my hat guard duties, unless there are a lot of props for that particular show. Then I could be on a prop, or need to hold a director's ladder. After halftime, we get another chance to cheer on the team.
Once the game is over, the band takes the field for a post-game performance and student staff gets everything together to take back up to the band center.
Once everything is taken care of, we are dismissed to go home. As long as my family is not waiting for me to go spend time with them, I typically go back to my apartment, eat some dinner and fall asleep after the long day.
How do you relax? Relax? What's that? I try to take some time each week to relax, but with our busy schedule, it is so difficult. When I do get the chance to though, I love to hang out with my friends (most of which are also involved with the band), watch movies, read books that aren't textbooks, and teach myself to crochet (which has been a long process with my busy schedule). Needless to say, Christmas break is going to be VERY welcome!
What's the title of the last book you read? The last full book I read was "The Giver," however, I am almost done rereading the first book in "The Hunger Games" series. Quite often, reading is my go-to activity on the band bus, as it is extremely difficult to actually be productive studying.
What's your favorite TV show? I would have to say "How I Met Your Mother," although, "The Office" is a close second.
What would your dream job be? I would love to be a marketing manager/social media manager for a company. Being able to be a part of the band's social media sites has made this extremely interesting to me.
Family? My family is the best! They are so understanding and supportive of my band schedule, even when it prevents me from being home as much as I would like to be. It means the world to me when any of them are able to take time out of their own busy schedules to come to a Skull Session or game to visit. My parents, Joe and Wanda Krocker, actually make it down to about three or four Skull Sessions and about two games per season. My sister, Katie, is one of my best friends so it's always great when she can join them too! My extended family has been great too. They're always so excited to hear about my different experiences and stories from Ohio State. In fact, my Aunt Cindy is probably one of the main reasons I am filling this out right now!

"A bowel cancer screening programme in England is on course to cut deaths by a sixth," the BBC has reported. The story goes on to say, however, that there is concern "that the programme misses tumours in certain parts of the colon".
This story is based on analysis of the first round of England's Bowel Cancer Screening Programme, which was introduced in 2006. Screening programmes are designed to test for signs of a disease among people without symptoms. They can often detect diseases early, allowing treatment to be given at a stage when it is more likely to be effective at improving outcomes and lowering the risk of death. The screening programme invites people between the ages of 60 and 69 to participate, by giving them home faeces sampling kits that can be posted to a lab to check for traces of blood. Those who screen positive at this stage are then invited to undergo further diagnostic tests.
To date, the programme has invited about 2 million people to participate, with around half accepting and returning a sample. The results of the analysis suggest that if the early results are maintained, the screening programme will achieve the intended 16% reduction in overall bowel cancer deaths.
Where did the story come from?
The study was carried out by researchers from the University of Nottingham, University College London and bowel cancer screening centres throughout the UK. The authors do not state any sources of funding but say that their research was not commissioned.
The study was published in the peer-reviewed medical journal, Gut.
The BBC reported on this study appropriately, although headlines saying that the programme "does cut deaths" may be premature, as the research has not yet examined the impact the relatively new screening programme may have on bowel cancer deaths. The news story does go on to clarify that the programme is "on course to cut deaths" based on the results of the first 1 million participants.
What kind of research was this?
This was a report on the uptake and early outcomes of England's Bowel Cancer Screening Programme introduced by the Department of Health in 2006. Previous research has indicated that introducing a screening programme could reduce bowel cancer deaths by 16% in the people invited to participate in the programme, and by 25% among those who accept their invitation and participate in the programme. This research aimed to compare the uptake and outcomes to these estimates.
Bowel cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the UK, with 16,000 deaths a year. Only 50% of those diagnosed are still living five years after their diagnosis, in part due to the late stage the disease is generally diagnosed at. Earlier detection of cancers generally allows more options for treating them, and screening programmes that increase the proportion of cancers detected early may improve survival. Thus, it is important to continually monitor the success of screening programmes, both in terms of the way they encourage at-risk groups to be checked and in the number of lives they save.
What did the research involve?
The programme used the National Health Application and Infrastructure Services system to identify people eligible for the screening programme. Around 80% of bowel cancer cases are in people aged 60 and above, and so the screening programme was aimed at men and women ages 60 to 69 years old that were registered with a GP. They were invited to participate in the programme around the time of their birthday and every two years until they they reach the age of 70.
The bowel cancer screening programme uses a test called the 'guaiac faecal occult blood test', which looks for the presence of blood in a faeces samples. As part of the screening process, invitees are sent a letter describing the screening process, followed by an at-home sampling kit, which they use and then mail back to the programme hub. The test kit contains six windows, and participants are asked to take two small faecal samples from three separate stools and place them into the windows. The kits are then returned by mail, and are analysed to detect for bleeding in the colon. Those participants that screen positive for blood in their stools are invited to attend a follow-up appointment where they will be offered further diagnostic tests, generally colonoscopy (where a small camera on a thin, flexible tube is used to examine the inside of the colon). In borderline cases some participants were also asked to provide another set of samples.
Between July 2006 and October 2008, the programme sent out 2.1 million invitations to participate. The researchers analysed how many of these invitees accepted the invitation and participated in the programme, and how such uptake varies across postcode sectors. Postcode and demographic data was used to analyse patterns in uptake, and to identify factors such as social status that are associated with participation in the screening programme.
What were the basic results?
When the researchers looked at uptake, they found that:
- 52.0% of those invited returned test kits (1.08 million).
- There was a significant difference in uptake between men and women, 49.6% of the invited men, compared to 54.4% of the invited women.
- There was a significant difference in uptake across socioeconomic groups, with an uptake of 61.4% in the least deprived group, compared to 41.7% in the most deprived group.
- Uptake was highest in the North East and lowest in London. This pattern held between the sexes and across socioeconomic groups.
When the researchers looked at screening test results, they found that:
- 2% of the participants had a positive (abnormal) test result for blood in their faeces.
- There was a significant difference in the proportion of participants returning a positive test between the sexes, with 2.5% of men having a positive test, compared to 1.5% of women.
- Of those returning a positive test, 94% attended a follow-up appointment at a specialist centre to receive their test results and be invited to undergo further diagnostic tests.
- Among the 94% attending a follow-up appointment, 83% opted to undergo the further tests; 7.6% of attendees were deemed to not need further tests, and 3.7% decided not to participate.
When the researchers looked at the results of further diagnostic tests, they found that:
- Of those participants who returned abnormal screening tests, 98.1% received a colonoscopy as the first diagnostic test.
- 10.1% of participants were diagnosed as having bowel cancer; 11.6% of men and 7.8% of women.
- A further 12% of men and 6.2% of women were found to have high-risk adenomas, a type of benign tumour that can become cancerous. They were invited to undergo another colonoscopy in one year, as per screening surveillance guidelines.
- A further 19.3% of men and 14.6% of women were found to have intermediate-risk adenomas, and were invited to undergo another colonoscopy in three years, according to surveillance guidelines.
- In total, 43% of men and 29% of women who returned a positive screening result were found to have either bowel cancer or precancerous cells that required treatment or close surveillance.
Among the cancers identified through a positive screening test and further diagnostic testing:
- 71.3% of the cancers were potentially curable polyps or early stage disease.
- 77.3% were left-sided, and 14.3% were right sided; this was a lower proportion of right-sided cancers than expected. Right-sided bowel cancers tend to be larger and at a more advanced stage before causing any symptoms. A screening programme that could detect them early could potentially improve outcomes for these patients. Researchers say this result may be because right-sided tumours must be larger than those on the left side before producing enough blood to be detected by this test.
How did the researchers interpret the results?
The researchers say that most of their results were in line with previous pilot projects and the targets set out at the start of the screening programme. However, regional differences in uptake and the lower percentage of cancers found on the right side were unexpected. They say that it is unclear at this stage whether the low numbers of right-sided cancers detected are due to the screening technique or the natural course of the disease.
This analysis of a relatively new screening programme demonstrates that the programme has been effective in detecting bowel cancers at an early stage. This is extremely important in this disease, as in the absence of an effective screening programme most cases would not be diagnosed until they have progressed considerably. At this point treatment becomes more difficult, and survival is less likely than those cases diagnosed at an early stage.
The researchers say that uptake of the programme outside of London was very good, and high by international standards. The study also revealed unexpected variations in participation across regions and socioeconomic levels. Knowledge of such variation is essential, as it allows programme administrators to alter their recruitment and invitation techniques in order to ensure that more people participate in the programme. For example, it could allow targeted advertising in regions with low uptake or more favourable ways for contacting targeted groups.
This research presents a snapshot of how the early years of the screening programme have progressed, and further follow-up will be needed to determine if the new screening programme has the expected longer-term impact on bowel cancer deaths. Additionally, this was analysis of the first round of the programme, which was designed to detect cases that already exist in the population. Further rounds will aim to detect new cases, so it is not yet clear whether the programme will be effective to this end as well.
Screening programmes are large, potentially expensive and can be difficult to manage. It is therefore extremely important to ensure that programmes are having an impact on the number of cases of disease being detected and improve the outcomes of subsequent treatment. Although mass screening can be costly and resource-heavy, it should be remembered that the cost of well-designed and efficient programmes can be offset by early detection of diseases that are difficult, and even more costly, to treat at later stages.
Screening programmes are complex to evaluate, but this initial round of results from the screening programme indicate that England's Bowel Cancer Screening Programme is detecting a higher number of early stage colon cancers than would be detected otherwise. In time, we can see whether this translates into fewer deaths and better outcomes in the long term.

Syracuse football returning to Pinstripe Bowl
SYRACUSE - Syracuse University's football team is returning to the New Era Pinstripe Bowl for the second time in three years. The 2012 Syracuse Orange, which finished the season winning five of its last six games and won a share of the Big East championship with a 5-2 league mark, will play in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl on December 29 in Yankee Stadium in the Bronx (3:15 p.m., ESPN). Syracuse's opponent will be announced on the ESPN Bowl Selection Show Sunday night. The Orange defeated Kansas State in the inaugural Pinstripe Bowl, 36-34, in 2010.
"On behalf of Syracuse University, the athletics department and our football program, we are honored to have been selected to participate in this prestigious Bowl game," said Syracuse Director of Athletics Dr. Daryl Gross. "What an honor to be invited to the New Era Pinstripe Bowl and once again be affiliated with the Yankee organization, which we consider the greatest sports franchise in history. We are so proud of head coach Doug Marrone, his staff and the team. We are honored and thrilled to represent in this fabulous bowl game in Yankee Stadium as co-Big East champions in football. I can't think of a better place to showcase New York's college team. This is a fabulous opportunity for our institution, as many alums live in the area and our fans can descend upon New York City for the holidays. We are looking forward to a great bowl week and an extraordinary game."
Tickets and travel packages are available online (www.suathletics.com/bowlcentral). Tickets start at $50. All Syracuse University students are invited to purchase tickets for $25 (limit of two).
"We are excited to welcome back Syracuse University to the New Era Pinstripe Bowl," said Mark Holtzman, Yankees executive director of the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. "Their victory in the inaugural New Era Pinstripe Bowl was an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. Their student-athletes, alumni and legion of loyal fans will once again get to take part in an exhilarating bowl week during the New York City holiday season."
"We are thrilled to be invited to the New Era Pinstripe Bowl for the second time in three years," Marrone said. "It means a great deal to us to play a bowl game in Yankee Stadium where many of our alumni and fans will have the opportunity to share it with us. New York State is the foundation of our program. I am proud of this team for the way it fought through early-season adversity to win five of the last six games and win a share of the Big East championship. It is great for our team, and particularly our seniors, to have the chance to play one more game. This senior class has given so much to our program on and off the field and will be great ambassadors for our program and University."
The 2012 Orange features an offense that ranks 21st nationally. Quarterback Ryan Nassib, a 2012 National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete, ranks in the top 15 in the country in passing yards, completions and total offense per game. His Syracuse-record 3,619 passing yards is 10th in the nation. He holds every single-season and career passing record (except career TD passes) in Syracuse history, including most completions and yards. He also has 3,748 yards of total offense in 2012, another Orange season record. Receiver Alec Lemon holds the Syracuse records for receptions in a season (70) and career (199). Lemon (1,063 receiving yards) and running back Jerome Smith (1,019 rushing yards) are the second Syracuse duo to record more than 1,000 yards each in a season.
"We're very excited that the hard work of our student-athletes, Coach Marrone, and the entire SU football staff has been rewarded with a return visit the New Era Pinstripe Bowl," said Chancellor and President Nancy Cantor. "In 2010, so many alumni and members of the SU family filled Yankee Stadium to cheer the Orange on to an exciting and memorable victory, and we all look forward to returning to the Big Apple and to the Pinstripe Bowl once again."
Syracuse has a 13-9-1 bowl record, including a 1-0 mark for third-year head coach Doug Marrone.
In 2010, running back Delone Carter earned New Era Pinstripe Bowl Most Valuable Player honors after rushing for a career-high 198 yards on 27 carries and scoring two touchdowns, while receiver Marcus Sales caught five passes for 172 yards and three touchdowns. Quarterback Ryan Nassib completed 13-of-21 passes for 239 yards and three touchdowns.
Syracuse has a rich football history in New York City and the metropolitan area. The Orange is 6-1 all-time at Yankee Stadium, including a 3-0 victory against Pittsburgh in 1923 in the first college football game ever played there. In addition, the Orange has played seven times at the Polo Grounds in New York City and has taken the field for games at Shea Stadium in Flushing, N.Y., and MetLife Stadium and Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
Syracuse University has created a variety of attractive fan packages for those wishing to attend the game. Packages include various combinations of tickets, travel options, hotel accommodations and access to pre-game activities.

* Pro Bash Development; Way Beyond Shell Scripting
All Unix/Linux users know a little shell scripting, even if they're unaware of it. Pipes, for example, are a part of the Bash/sh language. Bash/sh, i.e. shell scripting, is usually treated as just that: shell scripting. But if you're crazy enough, you can develop full-blown profession, modular, and tested (yes, tested!) programs in Bash. It takes a little finesse, but I'll show you how, and you just might think twice about using Bash--really using it--in the future.

* Simple Questions Should Have Simple Answers
What happens when a project begins to embrace the philosophy that simple questions should have simple answers? Q: Simple to whom? A: Simple to the person asking the question. "Simple questions should have simple answers" has given me a lot of design clarity in my projects. I hope to convince you of its beneficial effects.

* Rust: A Friendly Introduction
Conventional wisdom says that writing high-performance code means working without the safety net of credible compile-time safety checks. Mozilla Research (a community of researchers, engineers, and volunteers) is trying to prove that conventional wisdom wrong by building Rust, a new systems programming language. Rust takes advantage of well-understood programming language technology to combine aggressive compile-time error checking with the high degree of direct control over the machine necessary to write efficient systems programs. By way of examples, I'll teach you how to use Rust to write fast and trustworthy code.

* Just Don't Lick the Cookie: an open discussion about organizational dysfunction
When someone claims a task and then doesn't do anything with it, we call that "licking the cookie." Nobody in their right mind would pick up and eat the licked cookie or finish the project. In this session well talk about common forms of organizational dysfunction, and then facilitate a group discussion about working around, over, under or through organizational dysfunctions you've encountered.

In the spirit of open source, I'd like to shine a spotlight on depression. Not because it's easy, but because it's important. Mental illness affects many of us, but the stigma attached to it dissuades most people from talking about it openly. That's not how we make progress. With this talk, I want to do my part.

* My First Year of Pull Requests
Open source folks are passionate about the tools they make and want others to get involved. Yet, in the past year that I've been developing software full time, I've seen a wide variety of responses from maintainers. On one hand, I've been inspired by the Travis-CI maintainer who followed up with my bug report over several weeks, on the other hand, my pull request to JDBC has lain fallow.
|Fiona Tay
* How My Kids Are Learning to Program By Talking
My children have patiently tolerated a number of teach-STEM-quick schemes their dad has brought home. They've taught robots to dance, created simple animations using Scratch, and, quite frankly, made a lot of poop jokes. What's missing from these programming tools was storytelling. The ones we tried focused either on easy interactivity or expressive power. If only there were a way to combine the two... oh, wait, there was—46 years ago!

* Polling: It's Good Enough for the WWW & It's Good Enough for You
Lately everyone loves pushing: you get push notifications on your iOS device, cloud to device messages on your Android device, and something about web sockets. Pushing seems natural. "Hey! I have some data for you, let me send it to you," says the pusher. Too bad it doesn't scale effectively.

* What Is Async, How Does It Work, And When Should I Use It?
"Asynchronous" or "non-blocking" frameworks like Tornado and Node.js are in fashion, but most programmers still don't have a rigorous understanding of what's meant by asynchronous, how these frameworks function, and when they're appropriate to use. I'll give a detailed tour of Tornado's event loop and show exactly how it works, and under what circumstances it's superior to a traditional multithreaded web server. You'll learn how to write the most efficient servers for modern apps with very large numbers of concurrent connections.

* Morning Keynote: Ashe Dryden
It's been scientifically proven that more diverse communities and workplaces create better products and the solutions to difficult problems are more complete and diverse themselves. Companies are struggling to find adequate talent. So why do we see so few women, people of color, and LGBTQ people at our events and on the about pages of our websites? Even more curiously, why do 60% of women leave the tech industry within 10 years? Why are fewer women choosing to pursue computer science and related degrees than ever before? Why have stories of active discouragement, dismissal, harassment, or worse become regular news?

* Sharing Beyond "Sharing": Fostering an Open Sharing Culture in the Philippines
Filipinos are known for sharing. From chain text messages, to photos, to videos, even to gossip and covering recent events in our own little communities, there seems to be an openness to sharing information: in fact, the Philippines is the so-called "social networking capital of the world". But can this openness to sharing information translate into the open source movement? I seek to provide possible answers to that question.

Debugging: The schedule destroyer, the confidence sapper, the mire in which thousands of working hours are lost every day. It's time to stop staring at those four lines of code, desperately willing the bug to appear. This session is about the philosophies that will steer you around bugs, strategies for dealing with them, and tools that can shorten a four-hour debugging session to five minutes.

* !done - Hacking IRC Bots for Distributed Teams
When our company was acquired we needed a way to see everything that was done each day all in one place. Teams were using different methods to do this: standups, written reports, emails and meetings. Nothing stuck. Done reports introduces a simple IRC command: !done. Team members say !done and what they just did. These !dones are put into a daily report. !done becomes a part of everyday at work, not a strained task that's easily forgotten.

* Let The Internet Work For You
Creating a successful Open Source project isn't intuitive, or easy. Converting a brilliant idea into a working code base, then publishing it to Github (with significant adoption) is hard enough, nevermind building an ideal development and release workflow. Sometimes, getting your OSS code out to the community is the easy part -- then the real work ensues. Juggling between the roles of; creator, maintainer and contributor while managing the interests of the group effort (IRC, mailing lists etc) and issue trackers can quickly scale from simple and exciting, to a time consuming full time job. I plan to take you on a ride, demonstrating how Open Source developers can leverage free service offerings (for open source) to make your life as a project maintainer easier and more rewarding; from development and QA automation through to continuous deployment.

* Human Interfaces for Geeks
As technical professionals we excel at understanding protocols, standards, file-formats, and APIs. Whenever there is a doubt as to the correct way to do things, one merely needs to read the fine manual or source code. Unfortunately the reference manual for humans was lost a long time ago, and the source code is poorly documented. We've been struggling with inter-human communication ever since. Paul Fenwick will present his findings at reverse-engineering the human communication protocol.

* Search-first writing for non-writers
Search-first writing makes you think about the structure of your document and product as a series of topics, instead of a big book. The days of linear documentation are over, or at least numbered. Users are much more likely to come to documentation through searches. As an open source creator, you may not have a writer to help you out with this, so how can you maximize their return on your minimal investment?
|Heidi Waterhouse
* Designgineering
Open source software engineering and user interface design got off on the wrong foot. Sadly it's holding our projects back from reaching their full potential.

* Where "Small is Beautiful" meets "Big Data"- Empowering Local Communities with Open Hardware
"The future is already here — it's just not very evenly distributed" - Author William Gibson Whether rightly or wrongly so, it has been argued that the "information revolution' has resulted in a wider gap between those with skills and access to digital resources and those who do not. The same can apply to entire communities where language, geography and cultural barriers have created a new world of "Have Nots". The growing civic hacker movement is making long strides towards eliminating the "silicon ceiling" effect, but thanks to the emerging practice of "open hardware" the "civic hacker" is joined by a new class known as the "maker"... The civic hacker is capable of great things, and already has enough of a track record to be proud of. But the hacker ultimately is, and should remain, part of a vanguard elite who like the Bletchley Park codebreakers of WWII possess skills of such value that the work of a single individual can have a direct impact on the outcome of a war (or election...) The "Maker" on the other hand represents a fundamental break from a passive society of consumers into something more closely resembling the small-scale producers and artisans on which the U.S was based on.

* The Care and Feeding of Volunteers: Lessons from Non-Profits and OSS
Volunteers are the lifeblood of OSS projects. From behemoths like the Linux Foundation to every little project on SourceForge, volunteers keep things moving forward. Retaining happy and motivated volunteers is a crucial step in creating a healthy organization. In this talk, I will discuss the whys and wherefors of encouraging and directing your volunteers in the context of both traditional non-profits and OSS projects.
|Kat Toomajian
* Quick Cure for the Shame of Untested Software
As the founder of a company focused on software testing, I speak often to developers who admit in private: "Yes, testing is important... but we don't test." Reasons vary, but the basic problem is that testing is seen as too difficult and time-consuming with no apparent value for the effort. In this talk I hope to convince you that this problem is a false dilemma and show you how to get started testing software quickly and easily.

I am using inheritance in a pretty standard exercise here.
I have a Card class and then a few classes that extend the Card class of different Card Types.
I however have a different type of class that still extends my Card class but is dealing with a LinkedList.
I have all of this accomplished, however in the exercise, there is a step that states "Have a main() method populate a Billfold object with Card objects, and then call
Here is the BillFold class.
import java.util.*; public class Billfold extends Card { LinkedList<Card> cards; Card firstCard; Billfold billf; public static void main(String[] args) { billf = new Billfold(); printCards(); } public Billfold() { cards = new LinkedList<Card>(); } public void addCard(Card newCard) { if(firstCard == null) firstCard = newCard; else cards.add(newCard); } public void printCards() { for(int i = 0; i < cards.size(); i++) { if(cards.get(i) != null) { super.print(); } } } }
And then here is the original Card class BillFold is extending
import java.util.*; import java.io.*; public class Card { private String name; private Card nextCard; public Card() { name = ""; } public Card(String n) { name = n; } public Card getNext() { return nextCard; } public boolean isExpired() { return false; } public void print() { System.out.println("Card holder: " + name); } public void setNext(Card c) { nextCard = c; } }
So my question is: What does it mean to populate a Billfold object with Card objects in my Billfold Class?
*Don't be confused by my inheritance info, this question is not about inheritance.
Thanks in advance.

Moretz talks Beckham skateboard pal
Chloe Grace Moretz has spoken about her blossoming friendship with Brooklyn Beckham - but apparently it's mainly based on skateboarding.
The Kick-Ass star was photographed skateboarding in Los Angeles with David and Victoria Beckham's eldest son, and spoke to Company magazine about their shared hobby.
She said: "I think he's a risk taker, like a typical guy. Weaving in and out of people. I'm a safety boarder - I don't want to break any bones."
Asked who was the better skateboarder, she replied: "I don't know. I mean, he has a pretty small skateboard, and I like more of a long board."
Chloe also talked about being a fan of London, so she could see a lot more of Brooklyn if she chooses to spend more time there.
She said: "I lived in London for sooo long when I was filming Hugo and Kick-Ass.
"I've known Raff (Jude Law's son Rafferty) since I was like 14. And Kick-Ass screenwriter Jane Goldman's daughter (with Jonathan Ross) Honey Ross is a good friend of mine, too."

In what may have been the most expensive auto accident in history, the American driver of a classic Ferrari 250 GTO that he bought seven years ago and is worth $31 million, crashed into another car in France, injuring three people including his wife.
Businessman Christopher Cox crashed during a July 6 parade of Ferraris near the town of Blois during a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the race car.
The blue-and-yellow car can be seen in this video at about the 41-second mark.
England's Metro website reports Cox was en route to Le Mans in the convoy that included Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason when the accident happened.
Metro reports Cox's car rolled out of the Ferrari factory in April 1962.
One of only 39 ever built, the 174mph sports car sold for £6,000.
Initially red, it was resprayed blue with a yellow central stripe in 1963. Mr Cox bought it seven years ago.
The Los Angeles Times reports that 23 of the classic Ferraris were touring France, motoring from chateau to chateau for the 50th anniversary of the rarefied race car and finishing at the Le Mans Classic, according to Sports Car Digest.
It was not clear how badly the car was damaged. As word of the accident trickled out, Ferrari enthusiasts were glued to news, hoping the treasured car could be salvaged. The car crashed once before, in 1976, the Sun reported, but was fully restored before Cox bought it in 2005.

Through Friday and into Saturday a slow moving weather front will make its way eastwards across the country bringing the biggest snowfall this winter with four inches in many areas.
Until the wintry showers arrive thermometers are set to plummet, with much of the country struggling to see temperatures rise above freezing today and tomorrow.
Motorists have to be wary as freezing fog that has formed overnight across the Midlands, East Anglia and central and southern England could make road conditions hazardous.
Met Office forecaster Greg Dewhurst said that overnight and into this morning temperatures had dropped below -10C in some parts and the mercury will struggle to rise above zero through the day.
He said: "There is quite a lot of freezing fog around and that will slowly lift in some areas but linger in eastern parts."
The South West will see slightly milder temperatures, with highs of 6C expected in Plymouth.
But overnight and into tomorrow temperatures will continue to drop below freezing.
Mr Dewhurst said: "There is a band of rain, sleet and snow coming in from Friday that will push its way eastward slowly through the day and into Saturday."
The southern half of the UK can expect to see a covering of between two and four inches while those in the Midlands, the North, Scotland and Wales should brace themselves for between four and six inches.
"There could be widespread disruption. It will start on Friday morning and slowly push its way eastward through Friday and Saturday, affecting most of the UK," he said.
The bad weather yesterday caused havoc on transport networks. A six-vehicle pile-up on the A11 left three people injured, and the AA reported about 1,000 breakdowns an hour.
It led to 42 schools being closed in Norfolk and all planes grounded at Norwich International Airport, overnight there was little more than a smattering of snow along the North Sea coast and down into Kent – which could see further showers today.
Darron Burness of the AA said motorists should take measures to prepare for the cold weather and coming snow.
"The main problem is flat or failed batteries, as the car's electrical system has to work much harder in the cold," he said.
"When you get in your car, switch off all the electrics before starting it - for example, blowers, lights and heated windscreen - and dip the clutch while starting to take some of the load off the starter motor and, in turn, the battery."
The Highways Agency also warned motorists to take extra care on slippery and icy roads.

There were two winners in the record $587.5 million Powerball drawing. One of them was from Missouri.
He has just been identified, and is a mechanic from a small town. What does he want to do with his winnings? He wants a Camaro. A red one.
Mark and Cindy Hill from the tiny town of Dearborn, Missouri (Population: 500), hold one of the winning tickets to take half of the payout from the $588 million Jackpot. Mark is a 52-year old mechanic that works for Hillshire Farms and his wife Cindy was laid off in 2010.
The couple adopted a daughter from China five years ago and are now considering adopting again since they are a wee bit wealthier now.
They are also going to add something to the car stable: A red Camaro.
GM is going to be all over this. As our own Micki Maynard suggested, if they give the car to him for free, he'll still have to pay taxes on it.
We're willing to bet he can afford it.

Arduino tvbgone for Newbies Workshop
This introductory workshop will show you everything you need to know to use an Arduino.
This fun and easy workshop is intended for people who know nothing at all.
I will have everything you need at the workshop! (see Cost below) -- just bring yourself, and your laptop (if you want to set it up).
Arduino is an amazingly powerful tool that is very simple to learn to use. It was designed so that artists and non-geeks can start from nothing, and make something cool happen in less than 90 minutes. Yet, it is powerful enough so that uber-geeks can use it for their projects as well.
In this workshop you will make your own Arduino that you can take home with you! And you will set up the free Arduino software on your computer. And you will make a TV-B-Gone remote control out of your Arduino. And you will be ready to make your own cool projects with your Arduino!
What: Arduino workshop for newbies, using TV-B-Gone remote controls as an intro
When: Saturday, 23-July, 2:00pm to 5pm
Where: Noisebridge -- 2169 Mission St., 3rd floor
Who: Anyone and everyone can have fun learning Arduino. Ages 8 to 100
Cost: Instruction is free,
parts costs (if you want to make along with us and bring your Arduino TV-B-Gone home with you): $25
optional FTDI programming cable: $20
Bring your laptop if you want to go home with the free Arduino software installed on it. Arduino software runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux.
No need to bring anything else at all to the workshop -- I will provide all you need! (But bring $25 for Arduino and parts, plus $20 for an optional programming cable. And bring your laptop if you want to set it up for Arduino.)
No need to RSVP or sign up -- just show up before 2:00pm.
Instructor: Mitch Altman, who's taught workshops around the world
More Info[edit]
While on a workshop tour (Eastern Europe and Belgium hackerspaces and hacker conferences) a group asked if I could do a workshop on TV-B-Gone for Arduino. I looked into it, and found that someone (Ken Shirriff) actually created a TV-B-Gone project for Arduino. There were a few bugs in their setup which we fixed together, and I bought all the parts so that a bunch of people could learn Arduino by making a TV-B-Gone from a Ladyada BoArduino kit. The workshop was hugely popular, so I've been giving these workshops again, whenever I have time.
TV-B-Gone remote controls are intended for turning off TVs in public places, making the world a better place for everyone, everywhere you go. The TV-B-Gone we will make in this workshop will be able to turn off TVs from up to 15 meters away!
Instruction is free for this workshop, and open to everyone, but if you pay the $45 materials cost, then you will get to make and keep your BoArduino, the solderless breadboard, and the parts supplied for making your TV-B-Gone.
Itinerary For This Workshop[edit]
- We will start by learning to solder. Don't let this scare you! I've taught well over 30,000 people to solder, most of whom have never made anything before in their lives. It is actually a very easy skill to learn. It is also very useful. And fun!
- Now that we each have our own Arduino, we will set up the free and open-source software on our laptops (if you bring one).
- And then its time to make something and learn how easy it is to use Aruino! You'll put together your own TV-B-Gone remote control using your BoArduino. We will use a solderless breadboard. These are really useful, and provide a fast, and very easy way to put circuits together without needing to solder.
- We should have plenty of time for target practice afterward.

In a piece of good news that hardly comes as a surprise, "The Ricky Gervais Show" will be returning to HBO for a second season.
Honestly, the return-on-investment for this project has got to be through the roof -- no script, almost no hassle from the "talent," a little bit of animation. And still "The Ricky Gervais Show" offers the network a hilarious 30-minute program starring a major name with both critical and commercial credibility.
If you've somehow missed it, the show is simply an animated rendering of the radio shows recorded by Gervais, his collaborator Stephen Merchant and producer-fellow commentator Karl Pilkington. Before becoming a TV show, their radio shows became the most-downloaded podcasts of all time, with more than 8 million downloads.
Much of the show consists of Pilkington offering wildly misinformed opinions on all manner of things and Gervais and Merchant ripping on him mercilessly.
Whether Pilkington is a deadpan comic genius or a complete moron remains unclear, though Gervais and Merchant insists that Pilkington's character is genuine and not a creation.
"If we came up with a character as good as Karl, we would never squander him on a poxy little radio station like this one," Merchant once said.
In any event, the show's return is nothing but good news.

Geneva Conventions still going strong at 60
07-08-2009 Interview
Knut Dörmann, head of the ICRC's Legal Division, weighs in on the challenges facing the rules of war today and on the organization's ongoing efforts to ensure that the Conventions continue to stand the test of time.
Some critics have suggested that the Conventions are approaching the age of retirement and are no longer suited for the kind of contemporary wars that pit regular armies against armed groups, and in an era when most wars are fought within States, not between them.
Proponents maintain that the rules are indeed still relevant and that the Conventions, together with their Additional Protocols, continue to provide the best available framework for protecting civilians and people who are no longer fighting.
What are the Geneva Conventions and what purpose do they serve?
The Conventions are the most important component of international humanitarian law, or IHL, as it is commonly known – the body of rules that protect civi lians and people who are no longer fighting, including wounded and sick military personnel and prisoners of war. Their purpose is not to stop war but rather to limit the barbarity of armed conflict.
The Geneva Conventions only apply to international armed conflicts, with the exception of Article 3 common to all four Conventions, which also covers non-international armed conflicts. The adoption of this article in 1949 was a breakthrough since previous IHL treaties had only covered situations of wars between States. As most of today's wars are non-international armed conflicts, Article 3 remains vitally important because it sets a baseline for the protection of people who are not or no longer fighting, to which all sides – State and non-State parties to conflict – must abide.Remarkably, the Conventions have been universally ratified, meaning every single State in the world is party to them. ( States Party to the Geneva Conventions )
What is the ICRC's link to the Conventions?
The ICRC has been closely linked to the Geneva Conventions from the start. The founder of the ICRC, Henry Dunant, also had the idea for the First Geneva Convention, " for the amelioration of the condition of the wounded in armies in the field, " which was adopted in 1864.
Since Dunant's time, the ICRC has always tried to compare the Geneva Conventions, and IHL as a whole, to the reality of armed conflict as we experience it on the ground. From the very beginning, we have been part of a dynamic process which ensures that IHL is adapted to ongoing changes in warfare.
As a result, there was no specific treaty that protected civilians against the horrors of the Second World War. In response, the international community agreed in 1949 to adopt the Fourth Geneva Convention for the protection of civilians. This was really a watershed moment in terms of ensuring that civilian populations and property are spared during times of armed conflict.
Today, the ICRC derives its humanitarian mandate – its job description, in a sense – from the Conventions, which task the ICRC with visiting prisoners, organizing relief operations, re-uniting separated families and similar humanitarian activities during armed conflicts. The ICRC is mentioned explicitly in several provisions of the Conventions.
Some say that the Conventions were designed for a completely different world, and are now in need of being revised, if not rewritten. What's your response?
The major challenge is that the law is not being respected nearly enough. Too few people know what the Geneva Conventions are, while too many warring parties ignore or flout them. I firmly believe that if the existing rules were respected and abided by, much of the suffering caused by current armed conflicts could be avoided.
At the same time, let's not forget that the Conventions have been hugely successful over the past 60 years, saving countless lives, allowing thousands of separated families to be reunited and providing comfort to millions of prisoners of war. In my mind, that's ample reason to celebrate. I dread to think how much more suffering there would be in the world if they didn't exist.
Let's also not forget that international armed conflicts and occupation are by no means a thing of the past. Last year's war between Russia and Georgia is a recent example of an international armed conflict where all four of the Geneva Conventions were applicable.
In what ways has IHL developed over the past six decades?
The 1980s and 90s saw other international treaties come into force, banning certain conventional weapons, such as antipersonnel landmines, as well as chemical weapons. Just last year, more than 100 States signed up to an historic treaty against the use of cluster munitions.
Finally, there has been significant progress in terms of investigating and punishing war crimes, thanks to the work of the international tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, and the establishment of the International Criminal Court.
To me, these are all signs that international humanitarian law is fully capable of keeping up with the times.
What else should be done to develop IHL and what are some other current challenges you observe with respect to the law and the realities on the ground?
There is still room to strengthen and clarify the existing legal framework. For e xample, the ICRC recently published interpretive guidance on the concept of " direct participation in hostilities " . Neither the Geneva Conventions nor the Additional Protocols spell out what this actually means. Yet this is crucial because, under the law, civilians lose their protection against attack when and for as long as they directly participate in hostilities. If there is no shared understanding of what this means, there is a risk that civilians will fall victim to erroneous or arbitrary attacks.
These questions are all the more pertinent when you consider that traditional military functions are increasingly being outsourced to private contractors, and that civilians regularly support non-State armed groups through a range of activities, from military and logistical support to feeding and sheltering fighters.
There are other challenges concerning non-international armed conflicts, where some key humanitarian problems are not covered by existing IHL treaties. Customary IHL rules have filled some of these gaps but there are areas where the law could be further clarified and developed. For example, there is currently no detailed framework establishing procedural safeguards for people interned for security reasons in relation to non-international armed conflicts. Such safeguards are necessary to ensure, for example, that people are only held if a valid reason exists.
The so-called "global war on terror" has led to a lot of debate about IHL. What do the Geneva Conventions and the Additional Protocols actually say about the phenomenon of terrorism?
Fundamentally, there were differing opinions as to whether the " war on terror " actually amounted to an armed conflict. Similarly, there was discussion as to whether suspected terrorists detained within the context of this fight were covered by IHL.
I personally believe that the Conventions and the Additional Protocols do hold many relevant answers here. After all, terrorism is not a new phenomenon. Both the Fourth Geneva Convention and the Additional Protocols specifically prohibit acts of terrorism.
In terms of addressing threats posed by terrorism, I also believe that the Conventions do a good job of balancing State security concerns and respect for human dignity.
But IHL must only be applied to situations were the fight against terrorism actually amounts to a war. Terrorist acts committed outside of armed conflict must be addressed by means of domestic or international law enforcement, rather than by applying IHL. Such means include intelligence gathering, police and judicial cooperation, the freezing of assets or diplomatic and economic pressure on States accused of aiding suspected terrorists. IHL shouldn't be made to apply to situations for which it was not designed.
Still, the debate sparked off by the events of 11 September has revealed some possible gaps or shortcomings in IHL. For example, concerning the detention of terror suspects in situations of armed conflict, certain aspects of Common Article 3 are vague and need further clarification. For instance, when it comes to conditions of detention, the law should go beyond the basic notion of humane treatment and be more specific. Similarly, no detailed guidance exists on the procedural safeguards (review of grounds for detention) to which people detained for security reasons are entitled.
As you pointed out earlier, the Second World War prompted the ICRC to renew its push for the Conventions to be extended to protect civilians. Why was this significant and how have things changed since then?
The Fourth Geneva Convention and, later, the Additional Protocols, were major breakthroughs in terms of offering protection to civilians, but the sad reality is that they continue to bear the brunt of war today.
One of the main changes we've seen since 1949 is the increasingly asymmetric nature of warfare. By this, I mean situations where the training and weaponry of one side are far superior to those of the other. Typically, this happens when well-equipped and trained armed forces confront rebel groups. These differences have, in some cases, been used by the weaker side to explain why it has not respected fundamental rules of IHL. This can easily result in a vicious circle where either party justifies its failure to respect IHL by pointing the finger at their enemy.
Another noteworthy development is that military operations have increasingly taken place in densely populated urban areas, often using heavy or highly explosive weapons. From Grozny to Mogadishu and from Baghdad to Gaza City, armed conflict has had a devastating impact on the civilian population.
What do the people most affected by war think about issues like the protection of civilians or acceptable behaviour in warfare? Do the people you seek to help believe that the Geneva Conventions are effective?
The ICRC recently commissioned an opinion poll in eight conflict- and violence-affected nations, which asked people about their views on the conduct of hostilities and other related issues.
The vast majority of people support the core principles of IHL and the idea that even wars should have limits, but the research also shows that, in reality, far fewer are aware that the rules exist. Meanwhile, some doubt that the law has a real impact on the ground.
This, coupled with the fact that civilians keep on being killed, separated from their loved ones and forced to flee their homes in conflicts across the globe, indicates that what we really need is better compliance with the law.
