Howard in Lakewood
May 22, 2007
Howard Works Out
When the team is on the road, a bus is available to take players from the hotel to the ballpark. Most of the time, the players get to the park on their own much earlier than the bus, which is listed as 5:00 p.m. on today's itinerary.
While his teammates were heading for Dolphin Stadium in Miami, FL, early this afternoon, Ryan Howard worked out at FirstEnergy Park in Lakewood, NJ.
He'll play (designated hitter) a two-game, minor league rehab assignment there tomorrow (11 a.m.) and Thursday (6:35 p.m.). Both games are against the Hagerstown Suns, managed by ex-Phil Tom Herr. Howard is eligible to come off the disabled list on Friday in Atlanta.
Howard did some running and stretching under the watchful eye of Jeff Cooper, a consultant on the Phillies Medical Staff. He took some live batting practice off Ben Pfinsgraff, went through some fielding drills, ran the bases, took treatment from Cooper and iced his left quad.
Trouble with Lefties
With the series against the Marlins starting tonight (7:05), the Phillies will face Scott Olsen (3-3), who owns one win against them this year. For his career, Olsen is 2-4 vs. the Phils.
Overall, the Phillies are only 5-10 against lefthanded pitchers, having lost their last start against a southpaw, 4-1 to the Cubs' Ted Lilly on May 13.
Lefty Cole Hamels, on a four-game winning streak, gets the nod tonight against Olsen. Hamels' 70 strikeouts are second in the league to San Diego's Jake Peavy (71).
Minor League Review
A weekly review (May 14-20) of the Phillies minor league system was posted earlier today: http://philadelphia.phillies.mlb.com/mlb/minorleagues/team_index.jsp?c_id=phi

Your help and advice was very welcome when it was a very difficult time, and your attention to detail, carried out in a sensitive and understanding way was appreciated and you are to be recommended.
Engaging Anna Briggs to lead the service at the Crematorium was an excellent choice, along with all your work, and i couldn't have asked for anything better.
Thank you again

Overall Andrew Phillips Funeral Services made a very difficult time a lot easier by providing such a caring and sensitive service.

How fortunate to walk in the direction of Andrew Phillips Funeral Services shortly after my husband passed away. From an initial brief chat with Hayley to a visit at home from Andrew, my family and I were put at ease to know that the way we wanted to say goodbye to Jon was possible. We found Andrew caring, sensitive and helpful, the service was just beautiful and we were able to remember Jon the way we wanted. Thank you Andrew for being there for us.

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. - For the second-consecutive day the Georgia Southwestern baseball team jumped out to a four-run lead on Barry University. For the second-straight day the Buccaneers rallied to defeat the Hurricanes. On Saturday afternoon at Feinbloom Field, it took 14 innings, but BU eventually defeated GSW, 7-6.
The Hurricanes opened the scoring in the third inning behind two hits and a Barry error. In the fourth, GSW added three runs with three hits, including RBI singles from John Duran and Blane Parker.
GSW starting pitcher Matthew Suggs tossed six scoreless innings before handing things over to the bullpen. Suggs held Barry to three hits while walking five and striking out three.
Barry roughed up GSW relievers in the seventh, rallying for four runs.
Both sides were held scoreless in the eighth, paving the way for an exciting ninth inning. GSW looked to be moving towards its first victory of the season when Parker and Randall Sheffield scored on a Michel Coffey single to center. However, Barry answered the challenge once again, matching GSW with two runs in its half of the inning.
Pitcher Ryan Mosley worked out of trouble in the 10th, 11th and 12th innings for GSW as Barry left the bases loaded in the 10th and 12th while stranding two runners in the 11th.
GSW left two runners on base in the 10th and 11th innings.
A walk and back-to-back singles in the 14th gave Barry the win.
Parker finished with four hits for GSW. Duran and Jarrod Taylor added two singles apiece. The Hurricanes stole four bases in the game, but hit into three double plays.
The season-opening series with Barry concludes Sunday at noon.

I've been learning a lot about Mormonism, which is coming in handy now, as for the first time in history a Mormon has received a presidential nomination from a major political party. I took a few swipes at Mitt Romney recently, calling his religion "crazy".
Romney: Vote for me, a businessman of faith. Now please ask me anything except questions about my crazy religion or my secret finances.
— Mark Jaquith (@markjaquith) September 2, 2012
But is Mormonism really any crazier than, say, Christianity? Well no, not in terms of its supernatural claims. Mormonism was built on the foundation of Christianity, much like Christianity was built on Judaism. It's "Christianity+". The Book of Mormon borrows heavily from Biblical language. And in terms of "events", miracles, visions and divine revelations feature heavily in the church's history. So yes, if you look at the mystical beliefs of Latter Day Saints versus those of Christians, they are both irrational, and both lacking in supporting evidence. It is no more crazy, per se, to believe that the creator of the universe lives on a planet orbiting the star "Kolob" than it is to believe that the first female human was created from the first male human's rib. Both religions have crossed over into fantasy land. There are, however, two key differences between the religions: specificity, and the freshness and clarity of their origins.
In terms of specificity, Joseph Smith was incredibly ambitious in the claims he made in The Book of Mormon. He claims that native American tribes are descended from a lost Israelite tribe. No. They're not. Conclusively. Smith claimed that one of these Israelites (Lehi) came across horses in America. No. He didn't. There were no horses in America for 10,000 years before the Spaniards brought them over. I could go on, but there's no point. Smith made far too many specific claims, especially about genealogy and American history that are outright false. Whereas the Bible speaks in poetry, metaphor, and euphemisms, Smith made many clear statements that we now know to be unequivocally false.
The origins of Christianity are mysterious. Paul of Tarsus just started writing about it, and Paul expressed zero interest in the life story of Jesus or in the origins of the religion. The gospel accounts came later, by unknown authors, and weren't contemporary to the alleged events. Christianity benefits from that cloak of mystery. Myths without a clear origin story seem to have a better foundation, as that foundation can be imagined to stretch infinitely into the fog.
The origins of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are anything but mysterious. A mere 190 years old, it is by far the youngest of the four Abrahamic faiths. Good records exist about the story of Joseph Smith, an admitted liar and fraud, and the golden plates he claimed to have found and magically translated from a non-existent language he said they were written in. We know how the sausage was made. We know that when 116 pages of the translated manuscript were lost (or possibly stolen), he was not able to retranslate that portion of the plates, knowing that there was no way he could bullshit his way through those same 116 pages again and have it match up.
No thinking person can look at the history of the LDS church and conclude anything other than that it is all a giant hoax, perpetrated by a charismatic fraud. The same is not as clear with Christianity, shrouded as it is by blurry language, historical cobwebs, and an uncertain origin. In terms of claiming supernatural things for which there is no evidence, Christianity and Mormonism aren't all that different. In terms of how crazy it is to believe either one, Mormonism is the uncontested all-American champion. And it is absolutely fair to question the judgement of a man who is so utterly convinced by this obvious fraud.

HooDoo 500
All photos from hoodoo500.com. Hope to have my own photos up soon.
Sometime around midnight I was descending off of a mountain in Utah and looked down at my computer and saw 48 MPH. The support van was behind me, the air was crisp, but not cold, the roads were smooth and we were finally descending after a long climb up and over a mountain. My first thought was that this was a great way to spend a Saturday night: With friends in a beautiful area, on my bike speeding down a hill, chasing after the first place team in this inaugural 500-mile ultra-cycling race. My second thought was that I probably shouldn't be looking at my computer while going that fast at night.
When we first heard about this race in the Spring we knew we had to get a team together. Brian, Jack and I were down and we asked newest Swarm! member (and successful triathlete) Nicholas to be on our team. Unlike the Furnace Creek 508, this race offers unlimited rider exchanges. At least one racer needs to be on the course at all times, but all four can ride together and can switch out at any time. Also different from the 508 is that at night the support vehicle does not have to follow at all times as long as s/he has two front and rear lights. This way the vehicle can drive ahead and the next racer can be set up for an exchange without losing any time.
We drove up to St. George on Thursday night and met up with Nicolas and his wife McCall, who would be our other support crew member with Megan (who was on Morgan's support team for 508 in 2005 and the Bonobo fixed gear team last year). Like Nicolas, she had no ultra-distance experience, but was a quick learner. We could not of asked for a better support team then the two of them. At the pre-race meeting Deb from Planet Ultra, who knows us pretty well by now and referred to us as the tattooed vegan team, asked me what I thought our fastest time could be. I told her 24 hours. Jack and Brian are both training for solo 508 and are all-around strong riders and Nicolas is a fast road rider. I have experience with ultra-distance, but after a tough summer and a lot of traveling, I was the weak link of the team. How frustrating that is! Deb informed us that Team BHB was thinking around 25 hours and considered us their fiercest competition. Deb went back and told them our prediction and the race was on.
Brian in Panguitch
Race time for four-person teams was 11am Saturday, which gave us time to sleep in and be prepared. From the gun Brian set a brutal pace. Jack rotated in with him so they could paceline awhile, then Nicolas and I did the same. At one point we had about five miles on them. Then our inexperience with the terrain and the format cost us some time. We kept Brian out for too long. We had multiple riders out at some points where one rider would have been just as fast. We were passed and tried to hold on. Team BHB were the locals; Deb told us they had ridden the course four times together in preparation. Most of the course was above 6,000 feet and the highest point was almost 12,000; obviously to their advantage. Previous to Friday night we had no ambition of winning, so we easily reverted to riding our own race. We enjoyed the beautiful course and rode the best we could. We had only one support vehicle, an extended cabin pick-up truck, where five people could sit comfortably, but sleeping was not so easy. Except for a few minutes of shut eye, I think our entire team was awake for the 28 hours it took us to complete the 519 miles. Amazingly we all got along and worked well together sorting out who had what responsibilities.
Some notes:
- Brian ate raw the entire time.
- The lowest temperature was 36 degrees.
- No flats or mechanicals!
- Nicolas had some nausea late Saturday night, but bounced back into the rotation after a few hours
- I was happy to ride a lot of miles through the night on the B-team while the A-team (Jack and Brian) could get some rest.
- Utah is beautiful. I was reminded of the descriptions in Monkey Wrench Gang and of the Wile E. Coyote cartoons.
- A car chase passed us at about 2am; a mini-van going about 120 MPH followed by a succession of cop cars. Apparently two kids from a foster house stole the van and tried to make a get-a-way.

ALFRED, N.Y. – The No. 23 Salisbury University football team took its first Empire 8 Athletic Conference loss of the season, and just the second in nearly three years in the league, falling on Saturday at Alfred University, 31-21.
For just the third time this season, Salisbury (5-3, 4-1 Empire 8) saw its opponent score first, but it wasn't until after the Gulls moved the ball into Saxon territory.
The Sea Gulls took the opening kick, started at their own 25-yard line and moved methodically into Alfred's end of the field. Over seven plays, including six carries, the longest of which was a 22-yard jaunt by junior quarterback Joey Jones, the Gulls got as far as the Saxon 33-yard line, but were forced to punt. Junior punter Kyle Hamby, one of Salisbury's most dangerous weapons this year, dropped a kick down at the Alfred 1-yard line.
But the Saxons (6-2, 4-1 Empire 8) would answer, moving 99 yards on their first drive of the day, covering the distance in nine plays, capped by a 2-yard scoring run by Calvin Bain with 5:08 left in the first quarter.
Salisbury would answer just before the end of the first quarter, moving 42 yards on four plays, following a short Alfred punt, and punched the ball in from 16 yards out on a run by senior super back Brendan Chavis, tying the game at 7-7 with 1:23 left in the first.
Alfred took the lead in the second quarter, on another extended drive covering 61 yards for a 14-7 lead, but again, Salisbury would answer. This time it was Jones connecting with junior wide receiver Isaiah Taylor for a 38-yard strike for the tying score with just over four minutes remaining before halftime.
The Saxons, however, would grab the lead just before the break, moving 84 yards on five plays, to score with under 90 seconds remaining, taking a 21-14 lead into halftime.
The Salisbury defense, which has been strong all season, including pitching two shutouts, forced three Saxon possessions to end in three-and-out chances, and one on downs over four plays, on the day. The first two Alfred drives of the second half went three-and-out, giving the Salisbury offense an opportunity to pull even again.
The Sea Gulls got the ball at the Saxon 26-yard line after a short Alfred punt. The drive was set up after Hamby downed another punt at the Alfred 1-yard line and the defense allowed no movement by the Saxon offense. Sophomore linebacker Nick Anzallo, who led the Salisbury defense with 10 tackles, made a stop on Alfred's one rush on the drive and two incompletions gave Salisbury the ball in prime position.
It took just two plays, a 24-yard run by sophomore Jerome Johnson and a 1-yard run by Jones to tie the game at 21-21, but Salisbury could not take the lead at any point during the game.
Salisbury did retake possession in the fourth quarter with a chance for the lead, after Alfred's next possession stalled out just outside of field goal range. But the only interception of the day, a Jones pick into the hands of Alfred's Justin Liberta, proved to be the difference as the Saxons scored on the next play, taking a 28-21 lead with 14:49 left in the game.
Salisbury had three more offensive chances, but could only get to the Alfred 26-yard line before seeing their best scoring chance of the fourth quarter end in a turnover on downs.
Third-down conversion rates for each team was key in the game; Salisbury struggled, facing an average of just under 12 yards to go on third down, converting just one time out of six tries. The Saxons were successful on nearly half of their chances on third down (6-of-13) in the game.
Along with Anzallo's 10 tackles, the first double-digit tackle effort by a Sea Gull since Rodney Hill had 10 against Alfred last October, senior James Hall had eight tackles and senior Andre Carter had seven.
Johnson finished with a team-best 55 yards rushing while Jones was 4-of-12 passing for 86 yards.
Hamby averaged 39 yards per his four punts on the day, dropping three of them inside the 20-yard line.
The Sea Gulls will look to rebound at home next Saturday, Nov. 9, when they host Ithaca College (7-1, 5-1 Empire 8) at Sea Gull Stadium. The game will be the Bombers' final conference game of the season, and Salisbury will need a win to remain in the hunt for the conference title and the league's automatic qualifier into the NCAA tournament. Kickoff is scheduled for noon.

Midnight to the North: The Untold Story of the Woman who Saved the Polaris Expedition
Jeremy P. Tarcher/Putnam, 2002 - History - 187 pages
In 1871, Charles Francis Hall's Polaris expedition set out to be the first official American party to reach the North Pole. Five months later, the Polaris had become locked in ice and Hall was dead-likely murdered. The expedition members were set adrift for six months on the icy seas: a fifteen-hundred-mile journey that all survived, thanks to the skills of Hall's translator, Tookoolito, a thirty-four-year-old woman subsequently referred to as the "Sacagawea of the Ice."
In Midnight to the North, Sheila Nickerson brings to life the emotional struggle of a wildly various group of people forced to stay together-despite one another's self-centered failings-during circumstances of extreme desperation. Imaginatively re-creating Tookoolito's life, she describes the Inuit woman's decades-long relationship with Hall; her presentation to the English court and experience as an exhibit in P. T. Barnum's museum; and the undermining of her sturdy faith in her native heritage by Hall's stern and often treacherous world.
A meticulously researched, gripping story of awesome peril and fascinating insight, Midnight to the North debunks contemporary Polaris accounts and reveals an untold side of Arctic exploration.

Which brings me to this...After months of agonizing about it-
Somehow in the middle of this upheaval, I decided that we need to paint and redo our bedroom. When we moved into this house 3 years ago, the master bedroom was red. I like red, but this red is intense to say the least. Sometimes when I go in there I feel myself tense up. And the red makes me think of blood and I really don't like thinking about blood while I am trying to go to sleep. I didn't hate the red bad enough to paint over it immediately, so it all got put on the back burner. And 3 years later I am still looking at those ketchup walls. I think that I had complained about it for far too long, because for Christmas, Kamron bought me a new bedspread set that doesn't at all match the red (yippee!) so I am forced to paint! I don't think that I've mentioned before that I also only own 1 set of sheets. Not one set of sheets that match, mind you, just one set of sheets. Which means that often times I have found myself ready to go to bed, only to find that I forgot to put the sheets in the dryer and have to wait a good 30 minutes for them to dry before I go to bed. So with the new comforter set came a new set of sheets!!!!!! It really is the small things in life. Owning 2 sets of sheet makes me feel like I've arrived! Anyway- I decided that with a third child coming I really need a tranquil bedroom space, so that is on my agenda for today and tomorrow.
Also on my agenda- FILLING OUT RAFFLE TICKETS!!!! (See the post below if you have been under a rock for the last few days) This raffle is consuming my life, but I am all caught up. If you have purchased a ticket- I have it already filled out and in the raffle box. So if you have yet to get a confirmation from me- consider this your confirmation- it is all taken care of! You all are awesome! Thanks for purchasing so many tickets. But seriously- we are talking a WHOLE week in Florida, folks, so keep buying!! And I'd love nothing more that to make a TON of money for Haiti and the DRC. You might be asking yourself...aside from having the most beautiful beaches in the United States, what else does Destin have to offer? I could go on for days and days about this, so maybe I'll highlight a different Destin hot spot every day, just to keep you in the
Destin has a gulfarium. Not an aquarium, because there is not tank after tank of fish, but a gulfarium. As in, all the animals you'll see in the gulf. Like dolphins! They have lots of dolphins. And they do tricks! And the kids will freaking love it and beg you to go every day of your vacation. And you will say yes because those dolphins are entirely too cool! And they have alligators and sea lions (who also do tricks) and warm weather penguins, oh my! Here is a picture of my kids' favorite thing to see at the gulfarium taken on our last vacation to Destin.
Wanna go? I thought so. So buy a ticket. Already bought one? Buy another one. I wouldn't beg you so much, except that the organizations that we'll be donating the money to are in desperate need. Eight days after the earthquake in Haiti, people are still being dug out of the rubble. There are children in orphanages who have still not received any aid. There are people with serious wounds who have not yet had any medical attention. The organizations on the ground are doing all they can with what they have. But think about what a much better job they could do if they had all the tools they needed. This is where you come in. Your ten dollar ticket will buy fuel and medical supplies in Haiti. As you watch the heartbreak unfold on the news, turn your sorrow into action. Click the button to the left and donate your money. I've made the action super easy for you -and given you an opportunity to win a fabulous vacation in the process. Win/win for everyone involved. I know that the economy is tight, but YOU do have $10 to spare. Can you give up your big mac meal and brown bag it next week? Can you resist a few impulse buys at the Target One Spot? Can you drink your morning coffee at home and forgo the morning coffee run? Can you go without a few little things so that people in Haiti and the Congo can have hope? Sure you can. Please buy a ticket.
"If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth." 1 John 3:17-18

The case of the phantom ballots: an electoral whodunit
The first phantom absentee ballot request hit the Miami-Dade elections website at 9:11 p.m. Saturday, July 7.
The next one came at 9:14. Then 9:17. 9:22. 9:24. 9:25.
Within 2½ weeks, 2,552 online requests arrived from voters who had not applied for absentee ballots. They streamed in much too quickly for real people to be filling them out. They originated from only a handful of Internet Protocol addresses. And they were not random.
It had all the appearances of a political dirty trick, a high-tech effort by an unknown hacker to sway three key Aug. 14 primary elections, a Miami Herald investigation has found.
The plot failed. The elections department's software flagged the requests as suspicious. The ballots weren't sent out.
But who was behind it? And next time, would a more skilled hacker be able to rig an election?
Six months and a grand-jury probe later, there still are few answers about the phantom requests, which targeted Democratic voters in a congressional district and Republican voters in two Florida House districts.
The foreman of that grand jury, whose report made public the existence of the phantom requests, said jurors were eager to learn if a candidate or political consultant had succeeded in manipulating the voting system. But they didn't get any answers.
"We were like, 'Why didn't anyone do something about it?' " foreman Jeffrey Pankey said.
The Miami-Dade state attorney's office could not find the hacker because most of his or her actions were masked by foreign IP addresses. But at least some of the ballot requests originated in Miami and could have been further traced, The Herald found.
Prosecutors did not obtain that information as part of their initial inquiry, due to a miscommunication with the elections department.
On Friday, a day after The Miami Herald brought the domestic IP addresses to its attention, the office of State Attorney Katherine Fernández Rundle said it is reviewing them.
Under state election laws, only voters, their immediate family members or their legal guardians can submit absentee-ballot requests. Violations may be considered felony fraud.
The thwarted attempt targeted voters in three districts: Democrats in Congressional District 26, where four candidates — including a suspected ringer criminally charged Friday with federal elections violations — were vying to take on vulnerable Republican Rep. David Rivera; and Republicans in Florida House districts 103 and 112, two competitive seats.
Nine candidates were involved in the campaigns: Joe Garcia, Gustavo Marin, Gloria Romero Roses and Justin Lamar Sternad in District 26; Manny Diaz Jr., Renier Diaz de la Portilla and Alfredo Naredo-Acosta in District 103; and Gus Barreiro and Alex Diaz de la Portilla in District 112.
Garcia, Diaz and Alex Diaz de la Portilla won their primary races, all by comfortable margins. In the end, the phantom absentee ballots would not have changed the results.
But there was no way to know that at the time. And the ballots would have brought more voters into the light-turnout election. The phantom requests targeted infrequent voters who had not applied for absentees, most of whom wound up not voting in the primary at all.
Only candidates, political parties and committees have access during an election to lists updated daily showing which voters have already requested and returned absentee ballots.
Garcia, Marin, Romero Roses, Diaz and Barreiro denied any involvement with the phantom-requests scheme.
So did Renier Diaz de la Portilla and a key consultant for his brother Alex, who declined to comment.
Naredo-Acosta, who did not visibly campaign, could not be reached. And Sternad, who pleaded not guilty Friday to charges that he lied on his federal campaign reports, declined to comment through his attorney, Rick Yabor.
There are links among some of the candidates who ran in different districts.
Sternad hired as his campaign manager Ana Sol Alliegro — an old flame of Alex Diaz de la Portilla who supported him in his race last year, according to rival Barreiro. Renier Diaz de la Portilla hired his brother to run his campaign, and both shared several political consultants.
But the family had nothing to do with phantom requests, Renier Diaz de la Portilla said.
"Absolutely not," he said.
He was echoed by Elnatan Rudolph, head of the New Jersey-based Cornerstone Management Partners, a key political consultant for both Diaz de la Portillas.
"It doesn't make any sense to me why someone would do that, because you'd still need the person to [vote for you]," he said.
Had the requests been filled, short of stealing the ballots from mailboxes, the campaigns would have been able to flood the targeted voters with phone calls, fliers and home visits to try to sway their vote.
Persuade enough of them, and you might flip the race.
The hacker adjusts
When the phantom requests were initially flagged, elections staff telephoned a dozen of the targeted voters to check whether they had really asked for absentee ballots. They hadn't, said Rosy Pastrana, the deputy elections supervisor for voter services.
Lynn Sargent, 23, said she received an email July 8 confirming her absentee-ballot request — even though she had never submitted one.
"I was definitely concerned when I got it," said Sargent, a Miami-Dade native who had recently moved to Connecticut. But the ballot never arrived, and she voted in her new state.
Once the department knew the requests were phony, it blocked the 15 IP addresses from which they originated. It took several tries — the hacker simply switched to a different address — before the requests stopped.
"Every time we saw that pattern, we would block the IP," said Bob Vinock, an assistant deputy elections supervisor for information systems. "I guess they finally gave up."
Then came the hardest part: trying to figure out who did it.
Pastrana, the deputy elections supervisor, sent a letter outlining the local findings and a list of 12 foreign IP addresses to the state attorney's office on Aug. 8, records show.
On Aug. 21, Thomas Haggerty, a prosecutor in the cyber crimes unit, noted that the IP addresses were foreign, registered in India and the United Kingdom.
"The person requesting these ballots is obviously using a software/service/proxy servers to mask their true IP address," Haggerty wrote in an email to Johnette Hardiman, the prosecutor leading the review. "These are probably a dead end."
In December, as the state attorney's office prepared its grand-jury report on absentee ballots, prosecutor Tim VanderGiesen, who was not involved with the August inquiry, got back in touch with elections. It wasn't until then — four months later — that elections IT staffers realized Pastrana had never sent the state attorney's office three additional IP addresses, corresponding with the very first phantom requests from early July.
All three addresses were domestic — at least two of them in Miami, a quick search of online IP addresses shows. The location of the third U.S. address is unclear.
The delay in providing the addresses to prosecutors was an oversight, Vinock said. On Dec. 12, he emailed the addresses to VanderGiesen. But they appear to have been lost in the shuffle.
A month later, on Jan. 15, Jose Arrojo, head of the public corruption unit at the state attorney's office, signed off on Hardiman's four-paragraph memo closing the phantom-request inquiry . It contained no reference to domestic IP addresses.
The domestic IP addresses are now being examined, Ed Griffith, a state attorney's office spokesman, said Friday.
Armed with the complete information, prosecutors can now follow up, using their subpoena power to obtain the users' physical addresses from Internet service providers.
With the locations in hand, they might then be able to identify the hacker's residence or business, or the public place, such as a library or Starbucks, that he or she used to take advantage of wireless Internet, said Steven Rambam, a New York-based private investigator with extensive experience in computer database and privacy issues. There, prosecutors could try to obtain surveillance video to identify the person online at the time the ballot requests came in.
"If it's McDonald's, McDonald's routinely has video of their entire premises, inside and out," said Rambam, who reviewed the IP address origins for The Miami Herald.
Even the foreign IP addresses were worth checking out, he added.
"I've picked up the phone as a private investigator doing these investigations and spoken to the security-and-abuse departments at the Internet service providers and gotten cooperation," Rambam said .
The elections department also sent prosecutors a map of the voters targeted by the phantom requests. Though the department didn't draw any conclusions from the map, it clearly illustrates that the voters were in three specific districts.
The Jan. 15 "close-out" memo makes no mention of the map, or of prosecutors following up with any political campaigns. "The map provided us with little useful information in tracking down the source of the computer attacks," Griffith said.
Telltale pattern
The map showed that the first requests — the ones that originated from at least two Miami-area IP addresses on July 7 and 8 — targeted Miami-Dade voters in Congressional District 26, which stretches from Kendall to Key West. A little more than a week later, on July 16, the requests resumed — this time from foreign IP addresses — for voters in Florida House districts 103 and 112. They stopped on July 24.
District 103 extends from Doral to Miramar; District 112 from Little Havana to Key Biscayne.
The Herald analysis showed that, in the congressional district, 466 of 472 requests targeted Democrats. In House District 103, 864 of 871 requests targeted Republicans, as did 1,184 of 1,191 requests in House District 112.
Requests came in twice for nearly 500 voters, and three times for seven of them. The elections department doesn't consider multiple requests suspicious, because voters are allowed to submit two ballot requests per election, in case the first ballot gets lost, for example.
Only a smattering of the total 2,046 voters were registered outside the three districts.
What alerted the elections department to trouble was how quickly the requests rolled in from the same IP addresses.
Jane Watson, president of Tallahassee-based VR Systems, which provides elections software to Miami-Dade and 52 other Florida counties, said the software flags suspicious activity, such as when five or more requests originate from a single IP address.
There are other safeguards, too. When a voter submits an absentee request online, Miami-Dade doesn't automatically send a ballot. The request is reviewed by an elections department staffer, who must manually sign off on sending it.
The online ballot-request form requires voter information available on a public database of registered voters. It also asks for an email address — which doesn't have to be real.
Most of the email addresses on the phantom requests were formulaic and clearly fake — the voter's first name at AOL, Gmail or Yahoo, for example — but the email addresses on at least some of the early requests were accurate. That is significant, because while those addresses are not publicly available from the voter file, political campaigns routinely compile email addresses through other sources.
To submit an online ballot request, the voter must verify a series of skewed letters and numbers — an extra step intended to make automated requests more difficult.
"That's a barrier, but I'm told that for someone who's sophisticated enough as a programmer, they can get over that hurdle," Watson acknowledged.
In the past, Watson said her company has brought in online security experts from Florida State University to test the software and look for loopholes.
But neither the county nor the software vendor have changed their programs or policies since the August primary, Watson and the elections department said. The reason: The existing procedures worked, they said. The phantom requests were caught.
No special skills
Creating a computer program to automatically fill online ballot requests using voter information is not difficult, said Rambam, the private investigator. Pre-written programs, known as scripts, are available online and easy for amateur hackers to modify.
With a little more skill, the hacker behind the phantom requests could have included computer code to keep the program from triggering the elections department's safeguard, Rambam said.
Once the program has been set up, purposely obscuring its origins through foreign IP addresses is also inexpensive, he added.
"And that, of course, is the most frightening thing: that any moderately or even marginally skilled programmer could have done this,'' Rambam said.
That's why the grand jury recommended requiring at least a login and password for voters to submit absentee ballot requests, said Pankey, the group's foreman. It was one of 23 recommendations proposed by the grand jury, convened after Deisy Cabrera and Sergio Robaina, two Hialeah absentee ballot brokers, known as boleteros, were arrested shortly before the primary last August and charged with voter fraud. Both have pleaded not guilty.
No county official has followed up on the online security recommendation, which, unlike other grand-jury proposals, could be addressed locally, Pankey said Friday.
"You can't go to your bank account — you can't go to anything that is secured — without putting in at least a name and a password," he said.
"Why should the elections be any different?"

|Do We Want to Be Like Music?
Multicultural- Other,
Why do we care for music so much that we want to sing or dance? Does a good melody do what we want to do? Yes, say Barbara Allen and Robert Murphy, and in this workshop they'll show what Aesthetic Reaism teaches: Music puts opposites together, opposites that we want to put together in our lives! Notes rise and fall, are separate and together. A melody is both energetic and gentle, harsh and sweet. Aren't these same opposites ones we have and want to make sense of? Eli Siegel, the founder of the education Aesthetic Realism, stated in this principle: "All beauty is a making one of opposites, and the making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves." Through demonstrations with flute and drum, children will have the thrill of hearing how these two instruments, so different from each other, work together, add to each other! Do we want to be like those wonderful instruments and like notes in a song, which add to each other to make a beautiful meldoy? Do we want to add to all other people and to be added to by them?

|The Underground Railroad in New York City--the Big Meaning Then, the Big Meaning to Us Now
Life Skills- Other
We describe places and courageous people of the Underground Railroad in New York City. In the early 1800s, a battle went on. It was of men and women, black and white, who wanted people to be free; and those intent on capturing them, to send them back to their "owners," likely to be tortured, often to be killed, often sold to plantations far South. Our basis is the education Aesthetic Realism, founded by the great American poet and philosopher Eli Siegel. Aesthetic Realism explains this battle was between two ways of self, our own selves. It's the battle of respect for the world and people, the desire to be fair to them, see meaning and value in people; and contempt for the world and people. Slavery, we'll show, arises from contempt; the forces of the UGRR stood for respect. This was what the Civil War was about. Studying this we have the thrilling ability to learn about ourselves through history. Wrote Eli Siegel: "The fight, Shall I see the world and people with contempt or respect? is the fight within every individual right now; it is our constant, inward, personal civil war." Includes a re-enactment of an escape!

Butler alumni, current and prospective students warned of data breach
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (June 30, 2014) – Thousands of current and past Butler University students and employees are at risk for identity theft, according to a letter sent from the university to students and alumni. Personal information was compromised during a hacking incident that university officials believe happened between November 2013 and May of this year.
Anyone whose information the university gathered could have been part of the breach, including prospective students. A letter went to people who earned a degree at Butler dating back as far as the 1980s, informing them of the data breach. In total, 163,000 people may have had their information compromised.
The letter says, "We have determined that files containing your name, date of birth, Social Security number, and bank account information were accessible to the hacker(s) during this time period."
Butler began investigating the breach after getting information from authorities in California who had arrested a suspect in possession of a flash drive containing information of Butler employees. That suspect was never affiliated with Butler, said university spokesperson Michael Kaltenmark.
He said information from the original small group of Butler employees on that flash drive was used. However, he said there was no evidence that the information of the thousands of others was ever actually used.
The university used a computer forensics team to investigate the electronic system and find any holes through which the hacker might have gained information.
"The part of the Butler University network that was exposed by the hackers, we determined what that was, corrected that issue and then we're working, ongoing, to take steps to further fortify the Butler University network so things like this don't happen in the future," Kaltenmark said.
Butler is offering complimentary memberships to a third-party identity theft protection program to those potentially affected by the breach. The university is also encouraging everyone to closely monitor their bank accounts and credit card statements for any signs of suspicious activity.

Tiny artists mimic the masters at Coconut Grove Arts Festival
The paintbrush hovered for a moment, clutched firmly in the grasp of a tiny artist.
Then the boy slapped it down with a splat, and a bright blue splotch appeared on the white construction paper. He smiled with delight.
Brendan Brown, 2, was the first artist to visit Abrakadoodle, a mobile art program for children aged 20 months to 12 years. The program, which offers after-school programs and art camps at several elementary schools in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, has been around for 10 years, but this is its first year at the Coconut Grove Arts Festival.
Friday night rainstorms cleared up just in time for the Saturday morning opening of the festival, celebrating its 50th anniversary this President's Day weekend. Almost 400 artists from around the world will show their wares, ranging from jewelry made of recycled items to massive steel animal sculptures.
Most of the featured artists have been perfecting their crafts for years; they're masters in their field.
But under a white tent in the northeast corner of Peacock Park, just big enough to shelter a dozen people seated at a table, the kids who visit Abrakadoodle are taking their first steps into artistic expression.
During the festival, Abrakadoodle runs free hourly activities where children can learn about and mimic the work of masters such as Monet, Matisse and Miró.
Saturday morning's activity aimed to teach children about Pablo Picasso's cubist art.
Brendan, who ditched the paintbrush in favor of finger painting, nailed it. He added a few surrealist swirls to his Picasso-style portrait with a crayon.
"He likes to color," said his mother, Michelle Brown.
For the final touch on his masterpiece, Abrakadoodle art instructor Marina Urban dipped Brendan's left hand in the tempera paint and pressed it down gently at the edge of his painting. Brendan's mom clapped and tried to snap a photo, but the toddler was already wriggling out of his red apron and out of his chair, on to the next adventure.
Each afternoon of the festival, Amanda Alders is leading art therapy sessions during Romero Britto-themed activities.
She asks the kids to think about what emotions they feel when they look at a brightly-colored Britto painting, then they assign those emotions to a color.
Being able to identify their emotions and having a creative outlet helps children develop and avoid behavioral problems, said Alders, president of the Florida Art Therapy Association.
It's also a lot of fun for them.
Victoria and Mark Aleman's mom and dad brought them to the art festival from Weston. The siblings made a beeline for the Abrakadoodle tent while their parents took in the sunshine at Peacock Park.
Ray by colorful ray, Mark, 6, carefully painted a wavy rainbow background for his Picasso portrait. Victoria, 8, favored robin's egg and deep royal blues.
The pair stayed focused on their work as the table began to fill up with more children. One curly-haired blonde girl practically dragged her mother to the Abrakadoodle tent, insisting, "I want to make a rainbow!"
Finally finished, Victoria Aleman stepped back to admire her portrait. Two round eyes with blue eyelashes looked out from a green face. The two spots of pink rouge matched Victoria's cheeks, flushed with pride.
Beaming at the painting, but shy, the girl shrugged.
"I just felt like it," she said.

Prince George will undoubtedly be privately educated like both his parents, but the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be keen to ensure he attends a school that is right for him.
Kate will be particularly conscious of making certain the prince enjoys his school days.
As a 14-year-old, she withdrew from independent girls' school Downe House in Cold Ash, Berkshire, after just two terms when she was bullied.
Kate started afresh at Marlborough College, an £11,030-a-term co-educational boarding school in Wiltshire, where she went on to blossom, captaining the hockey team and doing well in her exams.
The Cambridges recently attended a child mental health conference as part of the duchess's role as patron of school-based counselling charity Place2Be and were interested in learning about issues surrounding the transition years between primary and secondary education.
They also selected anti-bullying charity Beatbullying as one of the recipients of their wedding gift donations.
George's grandfather the Prince of Wales also had a difficult time at secondary school.
He was sent to Gordonstoun School in Moray, Scotland, following in the footsteps of the Duke of Edinburgh, but was picked on and described his days there as "a prison sentence".
Charles did admit, however, that the school instilled him with self-discipline and a sense of responsibility. It was also where Zara and Peter Phillips, the Duke of York and the Earl of Wessex were educated.
If not Gordonstoun, then another school experienced in dealing with future kings could be on the cards in later life for George. The exclusive £11,478-a-term boarding school Eton College is well practised at protecting royal princes and also has the advantage of being close to Windsor Castle in Berkshire.
William attended Eton for five years and it offered him a sanctuary when his parents were in the middle of an acrimonious divorce and provided stability in the difficult years that followed his mother's death.
His housemaster Dr Andrew Gailey was an important source of support. Dr Gailey's role earned him an invite to the royal wedding in 2011 and the title of Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO), an honour in the Queen's gift.
It was Dr Gailey who was cited as influencing William's university choice, having studied at St Andrews himself.
In the past, the Cambridges would have been able to register George for Eton at birth, but this has been abolished for some time with candidates now taking a pre-assessment at 11 and Common Entrance exam at 13.
Prior to secondary school, William and Kate will be thinking about an elite nursery school close to home followed by a preparatory school until the age of 13.
George's name may already be on the waiting list for a chosen school, but holding the position of third-in-line to the throne and being a future monarch is likely to ensure his name jumps to the very top.
Publicity surrounding Kate's time at Marlborough College has benefited the school, which was recently able to open up a Marlborough College in Malaysia.
Kate's prep school was St Andrew's School in Pangbourne, Berkshire, where she returned for a visit in 2012 shortly before the announcement she was pregnant.
She joined the public school, where fees are up to £4,980 per term, in 1986 when her family returned to the UK after spending two-and-a-half years in Jordan where she attended a nursery school.
She stayed until she was 13 and was predominantly a day girl but in her later years also boarded for part of the week.
William's first experience of school was Mrs Mynor's Nursery School in west London which he joined aged three.
From the age of four the duke went to Wetherby School, also in west London, before spending five years at Ludgrove School in Berkshire.
Both William and Kate were academic at school and went on to achieve a 2:1 at degree level, prompting speculation that George might one day be living it up as an undergraduate.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt faced extraordinary economic challenges when he assumed the presidency of the United States in March 1933. The nation was stuck in a seemingly endless depression, unemployment stood at 25 percent, and many governors had declared "bank holidays" to prevent bank closings.
Roosevelt promised "bold, consistent experimentation" and said that his policy would be to "try something and if that doesn't work, try something else."
He meant it. In just 100 days, his new administration advanced a series of initiatives that gave the federal government a direct role in managing the economy. The steps he took during this brief period permanently transformed the political landscape and American society.
Time has dimmed the memories of the crises Roosevelt confronted and legend has obscured the day-to-day events.
Now, as a new US president takes office amid a welter of dire economic problems, Nothing to Fear, a fascinating new book by Adam Cohen describes this watershed in American history.
Cohen makes clear that – regardless of what we might think today – Roosevelt did not have a grand plan when he campaigned for office. After the election, President Hoover tried, during the five long months between the election and inauguration, to get Roosevelt to adopt his policies. Correctly fearing that he would be locked in if he accepted Hoover's narrow and restrictive policies, Roosevelt declined to work with his predecessor.
But, unlike today, there was no large transition team generating ideas for a new administration. As a result, almost no planning was done before Roosevelt took the oath of office.
Even those most knowledgeable about American politics will be surprised by some parts of the story.
The Emergency Banking Act, for example, was Roosevelt's first major proposal. Designed to stabilize the nation's banks, the bill was drafted by two Roosevelt staffers and – surprisingly – three of Herbert Hoover's former aides.
The Hoover men had vigorously urged their boss to take strong action on the banking crisis before he left office. They could not persuade him, but their ideas found a ready audience with the new administration.
They worked around the clock to help Roosevelt's team design a plan. One copy of the bill was sent to Capitol Hill. It was signed into law nine hours later.
Another surprise: The New Deal began with aggressive steps to reduce federal spending. Roosevelt was, by nature, a fiscal conservative and throughout the campaign he promised to reign in federal spending.
The second piece of legislation he advanced – the Economy Act – gave the president virtually unlimited authority to reduce federal salaries and slash veterans' benefits. Like the Banking Act, it was approved immediately and almost without opposition. As soon as it became law, Roosevelt began to cut spending. Not surprisingly, the cuts proved controversial and were eventually reversed – but only after angering veterans and civil servants.
So the New Deal – and the beginning of big government in the US – actually began with laws designed to rescue ailing banks and cut federal spending. The well-known legislative landmarks of the Hundred Days – such as the Agricultural Adjustment Act, Civilian Conservation Corps, the National Industrial Recovery Act, and the Federal Emergency Relief Act – were not the first proposals Roosevelt put forward.
It is not easy to describe a brief period during which so many things were happening simultaneously. Cohen structures his book chronologically and organizes it around biographies of five key FDR aides.
They were, to put it mildly, a diverse group. Lewis Douglas, the conservative budget director, wanted above all else to reduce spending. Raymond Moley was a "cerebral, strategic" Columbia University professor who collected and organized ideas for Roosevelt. Despite their crucial role early in the Hundred Days, both eventually fell out of favor and denounced the New Deal.
The others were liberals who remained loyal until the end. Henry Wallace, a farmer and journalist from Iowa, was in charge of reversing the decade-long decline in farm prices. He became vice president in Roosevelt's third term and eventually Commerce secretary.
A hard-working, disheveled New York social worker named Harry Hopkins started off administering unemployment relief efforts. During World War II he became FDR's closest advisor.
But the most influential may have been Labor Secretary Frances Perkins. She brought a clear, expansive agenda to her new post which included unemployment relief, funding for large-scale public works projects, minimum-wage and maximum-hours legislation, and old-age insurance. Despite great personal sorrow and extraordinary challenges as the nation's first female cabinet secretary, she saw all of her initial priorities enacted into law.
Cohen's book may well renew interest in this seminal figure.
Cohen, an editorial writer at The New York Times, makes extensive use of both primary and secondary materials to unfold the clear, compelling story of how the circumstances of the nation – together with the character of its political leaders – reshaped American society in so brief period of time.
Terry Hartle is vice president of government relations for the American Council on Education.

Maine landlord to appear in court on murder charges in shooting deaths of apartment tenants
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) � Authorities say a 74-year-old Maine man will appear in court this week to face charges in the shooting deaths of two of his tenants inside their apartment after a possible dispute over where they parked their cars during a snowstorm.
James Pak was arrested Saturday night after a standoff at his home in Biddeford. He is charged with two counts of murder in the deaths of 19-year-old Derrick Thompson and Thompson's girlfriend, 18-year-old Alivia Welch.
Thompson's mother called police around 7 p.m. to report the shootings. She suffered a gunshot wound but her 6-year-old son was not injured. Both live in the apartment.
State police spokesman Steve McCausland says Biddeford police were called to Pak's home earlier over a dispute about cars being parked in the driveway during the snowstorm.

Spate of reports sounds new alarm on Syria's humanitarian crisis
The humanitarian situation is dire for millions of Syrian civilians _ especially children _ and is likely to deteriorate further unless the warring sides in the three-year conflict allow aid organizations unhindered access to besieged and difficult to reach areas, the United Nations children's agency warned Tuesday.
It was the fourth report this month to provide a grim assessment of efforts to help what the U.N. estimates are 9.3 million Syrians in urgent need of humanitarian aid. One-third of those, 3.3 million people, are in hard to reach areas because of fighting, including more than 200,000 trapped in areas besieged by government or armed rebel groups.
Senior humanitarian officials told McClatchy that the assessments show that a U.N. Security Council resolution adopted Feb. 22, which called for all sides in the conflict to allow unhindered access for humanitarian assistance, had largely failed. Some diplomats blamed the failure on the escalation in tensions between Washington and Moscow over developments in Ukraine.
"After three years of conflict and turmoil, Syria is now one of the most dangerous places on Earth to be a child," concludes the report by the children's agency, UNICEF.
"Syria's social fabric is being systematically torn apart," the report said, adding that 3 million buildings have been destroyed along with much of the country's critical infrastructure.
The UNICEF report highlights that child casualty rates "are the highest recorded in any recent conflict in the region." It notes that the U.N. "conservatively estimates that at least 10,000 children have been killed. The real number is likely to be even higher."
Overall, the conflict is estimated to have claimed the lives of more than 130,000 people, according to estimates by human rights advocacy groups. Of those, two-thirds are combatants, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
"Since March 2013, the number of children affected by the crisis has more than doubled from 2.3 million to more than 5.5 million," the UNICEF report said.
The number of children forced from their homes who remain inside the wartorn nation has more than tripled, to almost 3 million from 920,000 a year ago, and adds that the number of children who've fled the country has more than quadrupled, to 1.2 million from 260,000.
In other reports, blame for the situation has fallen on both sides in the conflict.
A report by the Independent Commission of Inquiry on Syria, published March 3, accused the government and its militia supporters of "instrumentalizing basic human needs for water, food, shelter and medical care, as part of its military strategy," by cutting off access to the towns of Dumah, Arbin, Zamalka, Kafr Batna, Harasta, Jisreen, Saqba and al-Miliha in eastern Ghouta outside Damascus. Other areas under siege includes Muadamiyah, Daraya, the Yarmouk Palestinian camp in Damascus, and the Old City district of Homs.
Similarly, rebel groups have encircled Nubul and Zahra, the commission said.
"The absolute impunity that pervades the conflict, now entering its fourth year, is utterly unacceptable," said the chairman of the commission, Paulo Sergio Pinheiro.
A report released Monday by Amnesty International said that nearly 200 people have died in Yarmouk since the siege was tightened there in July 2013. Of those, 128 starved to death, Amnesty International said.
On a brighter note, the World Food Program reported Monday that in the last few weeks it had succeeded in reaching many areas of Syria that had been inaccessible for months. This included al Houle in rural Homs, which out been out of reach since May 2013. The program said it had delivered food for 20,000 people there and that rations for another 20,000 people had arrived in Raqqa province for the first time in six months.
Amir Abdulla, the program's deputy executive director, said, however, the one-time deliveries can provide only temporary relief, and that the organization needs to be able to deliver food regularly to improve the situation.
