Letter to Senate Budget Committee
March 01, 2011
Dear Senator:
On behalf of the 3.2 million members of the National Education Association (NEA), we would like to offer our views on the FY 2012 budget, in advance of Secretary Duncan's testimony this week before the Budget Committee.
We are very pleased that the President's FY 2012 budget request would increase investments in K-12 education. In tough economic times, it is reassuring that President Obama continues to make education a national priority by calling for important investments in quality public education to keep America moving forward. A country that focuses on building the strongest possible education system is bound for economic success.
Investing in education makes both good fiscal sense and good public policy. Funding targeted to improving public schools will see the greatest return on taxpayer money and will strengthen the entire economy. In fact, research shows an inextricable link between investment in education and economic strength. In addition to widespread productivity increases, the higher earnings of educated workers generate higher tax payments at the local, state, and federal levels. Consistent productive employment reduces dependence on public income-transfer programs and all workers, regardless of education level, earn more when there are more college graduates in the labor force. (Education Pays, The College Board, 2007).
We would, however, like to raise several areas of concern:
- The President's budget proposals includes an increase for Title I, however, the increase is not targeted to those students and schools with the greatest needs. According to First Focus, from 2008 to 2009, the number of America's children that live in poverty grew by close to 2 million. In 2009, child poverty reached a level of 20.7 percent – a rate of more than one in five and totaling more than 15.5 million children. This makes it even more critical to target Title I funding via formula grants to the schools with the greatest needs. Without these resources, far too many children will not have the supports they need to succeed.
- We remain very troubled by the Administration's continued over-emphasis on competitive grants at the expense of formula grants. In fact, virtually all of the Administration's proposed funding increases are funneled into competitive grant programs. While federal formula grant programs are always important, they have never been more so than in today's difficult economic climate. Formula-driven federal aid ensures that resources get to where they are needed the most, and offers stability in an otherwise rapidly deteriorating fiscal environment, particularly for high-need urban schools and small, rural districts. A competitive system serves only to create funding winners and losers, rather than providing all districts the resources they need. Indeed, many districts are simply unable to compete, as they do not have the staff to write grant proposals.
- Federal funding for IDEA special education remains far below the federal government's promised share. Proposed increases serve only to maintain the current federal share at around 17 percent of the cost of educating students with disabilities, a far cry from the promised 40 percent We need increases that will put us on a path toward meeting the federal government's commitment. Failure to do so will only increase burdens on state and local governments and force cuts to other programs or tax increases.
We look forward to working with the Congress to ensure the investments necessary to allow every student to succeed, and to ensure that funding for core programs like Title I and IDEA special education continue to be targeted to those students and schools with the greatest challenges.
We thank you for your consideration of our views on these critical issues.

Here is how to open files in new tabs, instead of new instances of gvim, under Unix. It works even when you mouse click to open files in a file manager.
Desktop entryEdit
In the
gvim.desktop desktop file (
/usr/share/applications/ for most GNU/Linux systems) look for the "Exec" line. It will probably be like this:
Exec=gvim -f %F
Change the Exec line to:
Exec=gvim -p --remote-tab-silent %F
You may also need to change the StartupNotify value to "false" if it is currently set "true", or your Vim may not respond properly when the file is already open in a tab.
Note: Be aware that the desktop file is changed when you install a new version of gvim, so you may need to repeat the following change after an update.
You can of course also use an
% alias gvim='gvim -p --remote-tab-silent'
Most GUI programs don't read aliases, but it is useful if you start gvim from the shell.
Automatic desktop identification using shell scriptEdit
If you want to automatically open into the gvim window on the current desktop, use the following bash script:
#!/bin/bash this=$(basename $0); # vim|gvim|rvim etc... desktop=desktop_$(xprop -root -notype _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP | perl -pe 's/.*?= (\d+)/$1/') if [ $# != 0 ]; then exec /usr/bin/$this --servername $desktop --remote-tab-silent "$@" elif ! vim --serverlist | grep -iq $desktop; then exec /usr/bin/$this --servername $desktop fi
(script originally from https://gist.github.com/966205)
Save this bash script as /usr/local/bin/gvim to override the global Vim installation, which it will call into (assuming your global installation is in /usr/bin).
The script queries the X server for the current desktop, queries Vim for running Vim instances with --serverlist. When you run this script it will open a file in a new tab in an existing gvim window on the current desktop, or open new one if no gvim window exists on the current desktop, using --servername in both cases to specify a name for the new Vim instance which is specific to the current desktop. If no file was given and gvim is already running on the desktop, the script does nothing.

I don't know why I keep doing it, but I was asked again to upload a tutorial on yet another Warrior Cats character. Today I will be showing you "how to draw Yellowfang", step by step. Yellowfang has a very beat up looking appearance which is mainly due to many battles that she had been in. She is described as being a very scrawny cat with a coat that is tattered. Her dark appearance makes her look even more intimidating, and if I where to see this cat in an alley somewhere, I would never think in a million years that it is female. There is many people who say that her eyes are amber, but then again some also say that they are yellow. I myself don't know so I will go with whatever looks better. She does have a dark, pale gray colored tiger cat with a long coat. The long coat probably comes from her heritage because it's believed that she has Persian blood running through her veins. Anyways, she was a lot of fun to recreate into an art lesson, and if you're one of the many hundreds of people that are fans of Warrior Cats, you should also enjoy drawing Yellowfang. I will be back a bit later with some more artistic fun so stay tuned in!

Project for the Innocent Students Ask, 'Who Can I Help Today?'
Professor Laurie Levenson picks up a pile of letters postmarked from prisons all over the United States and says, "There are no disposable people in this world," as she opens the first envelope. Inside are pages of a handwritten letter addressed to Loyola's Project for the Innocent from an inmate begging the clinic to reexamine his case. When asked if she will read the whole letter she answers, "Yes, and we investigate every single one. This is just today's batch."
The Project for the Innocent fields claims from petitioners who allege that they have been wrongfully convicted. It is part of the Alarcn Advocacy Center. Since its inception, project students have received hundreds of letters from inmates across the nation. Students screen cases, research legal issues, interview witnesses and meet with inmates. The project provides invaluable exposure to real cases and clients for students with a passion for public interest law.
The Project for the Innocent spent three years investigating and interviewing witnesses for an inmate named Obie Anthony to prove his innocence and secure his release. Program Director Adam Grant '10 worked on the case from start to finish -- first as a student, then as a staff member. "I was attached to the case," Grant said. "Once I had met him in prison, I just couldn't walk away."
Students spent more than 75 hours in front of a judge with new evidence they had gathered to prove the flaws in Anthony's original trial. Finally, after 17 years in prison, Anthony's conviction was overturned. Levenson recalls, "The day Obie Anthony walked out of that courtroom a free man was the highlight of my career." A group of project students greeted Anthony the day he was released from prison on Oct. 5, 2011 (pictured above).
Recently, Anthony was asked to tell his story at Loyola's annual Journalist Law School. He said, "Years went by and Loyola Law School came my way… It is the system that brought me home. When the individuals that stood on justice and truth got involved with my case they procured my freedom and discovered the truth." Anthony was given a second chance at life and he thanks Loyola faculty and the dedicated group of students who worked tirelessly in his defense.
Levenson intends to house the premier center on the west coast committed to addressing hot criminal law issues and serving the community. The Project for the Innocent is currently investigating 15 cases and the number of students involved continues to grow. Grant said, "The goal of the clinic is to make human contact with as many witnesses [in a given case] as possible." The countless hours that they have donated has gained laud from organizations in the legal community. This year the ACLU Foundation of Southern California honored the Project for the Innocent with its prestigious Criminal Justice Award, and Levenson was asked to be the keynote speaker at the event.
Participation in clinics and completion of the 40 hour pro bono graduation requirement instills a rich moral code that defines a Loyola graduate. Levenson said, "When they leave law school they should have a lot of confidence and feeling of self worth – not only because they know that there are many people who need their assistance but they know that they have something they can do to help. " It's the personal relationships and skills built through daily interaction with clients that provide students with that "something," an obligation, to dedicate themselves to the service of others.
Students in the clinic have a motto, "Who can I help today?" With all of the calls and letters they receive each day, the demand on them is high, but Loyola students never lose sight of their ultimate goal: to be advocates for others.

A Certified facsimile or actual-size print. We offer a true quality nobody has; and for a price nobody is offering you for a comparable quality. This print was photographed using the latest technology, with a color-checker colour matched to the original illustration and then reproduced at the original plate size. A Museum Quality Limited Edition print, actual-size, signed, numbered and blind stamped. Indistinguishable form the original when glazed and framed.
Title of the print: New Harmony on the Wabash
Prints publication: Travels in the Interior of North America, 1832-1834
Author: Maximilian Prince of Wied
Prints Artist: Karl Bodmer (1809-1893)
Prints Engraver: Lucas Weber
Paper size: 58.0 x 44.5 cm; 22.8 x 17.5 inch
Edition: The edition will be limited to 150 prints, numbered 1/150 to 150/150, signed and stamped with a blind embossing
Certificate of Authenticity: On demand
Plate size: Exactly as the original plate.
Source of the original : This Heritage Facsimile Edition print is made from an extremely well-preserved early museum original subscription which has been cared for in the hands of this one owner only – Teylers Museum (the oldest museum of the Netherlands).
Museum Quality: The proofs of our prints are carefully compared and corrected with the originals and the final prints always have the original size. As a result, the naked eye is unable to distinguish the originals from the facsimile prints when framed and glazed.
Durability: To ensure the durability, our facsimiles are printed on acid-free white-edged paper with archive inks. Each facsimile has it all: every incredibly fine line detail of every lithographic plate or engraving; every delicate brushstroke of every original.
About the Original:
Travels in the Interior of North America Prince Maximilian zu Wied commissioned Swiss Artist Karl Bodmer to accompany him on a scientific expedition to North America to illustrate his field journals specifically to document the native tribes, geography, and various animal and plant species. From 1832-1834, von Wied's/Bodmer's group travelled along the Missouri River, recording their findings.
Printmaking in Paris: Etchings from Travels in the Interior of North America
After the expedition returned to Germany, Bodmer went to Paris to begin translating his original drawings and watercolours into prints -- a huge undertaking given the massive amount of material he created in the field. Bodmer consulted with Maximilian concerning what images to include and hired artisans to help scribe his originals onto engraving plates. Aquatint, one of the most time-consuming and costly forms of printmaking was chosen as the medium to reproduce Bodmer's originals, and publishers ultimately offered five distinct, luxurious versions of the publication to subscribers, including black-and-white as well as hand-colored on a variety of specialized papers.
At one point, nearly 30 engravers were etching plates for this project. The final prints combined elements of Bodmer's field studies with his recollections of scenes the party had witnessed on its journey, all directed by Maximilian and his vision for what portions of the narrative should be illustrated.
One of These Things Is Not Like the Other: First and Second State Prints
Most of the copies of Travels in the Interior of North America were ordered with black and white prints; a few were published with coloured engravings. The more expensive and more time-consuming coloured editions were printed with some colour on each plate and then finished by hand. Since different artisans were hired to finish colouring different engravings, there are often marked differences between copies of the same image.
When examining prints of an historical nature, it is extremely difficult to tell when colour was applied and by whom. Colour was many times applied at a much later date by any artist at the request of a dealer. Looking closely at these prints, the handling of colour is much different from the first prints. Our prints are the original black and white prints exactly as the originals.

Standard Article
Man City Women to sign Mie Jans
Man City Women are delighted to announce Danish defender Mie Jans will join the Club on 1 July.
The 23-year-old will join the Club from Brondby IF, having played against the Blues in the 2016/17 Champions League campaign.
The Denmark international – admired for her strength, tactical awareness and positional nous – caught the eye of Nick Cushing over two legs in the last 16 stage.
Jans was equally impressed with City – in particular the Club's professionalism – and felt an immediate desire to join the 2016 double-winning champions.
Although she admits moving to England proved a huge decision, she is relishing the prospect of a new challenge.
"I'm very glad to be here and very excited," she told CityTV. "I'm honoured to be playing for a Club like Manchester City.
"I thought a lot of things [when I arrived]. I was overwhelmed by the whole area. It's very, very good.
"[When I played here for Brondby], I liked the pitch. It's good and I liked the whole atmosphere.
"I came to train and we played at night at the Academy Stadium. I thought it was amazing and I thought at the time: I could play here.
"I liked the players and their attitude – they were a team all the way through – and they beat us!
"It's a big thing [to move abroad]. It's kind of scary but I'm not that concerned. There are a lot of people to help me and make it comfortable. My boyfriend is coming over too so we are making an adventure out of it.
"I am going to play in a whole new league and country, chasing my dreams. I want to win and I know I can do it at Manchester City.
"It's a dream come true to work under these conditions. I'm very happy."
Jans began her career at Dragør Boldklub before moving to Brondby's academy. She made her senior debut for Ballerup-Skovlunde Fodbold (BSF) in 2012.
Two years later, she returned to Brondby, where she enjoyed domestic success and gained plenty of Champions League experience, including a semi-final appearance in 2015.
She represents her country at senior level, having made her debut in November 2013.
Striving to become the best she can be, the defender is excited to be working under a manager who shares her winning mentality and eagerness to improve.
"[I was attracted to] the winning culture and how the Club think," she continued.
"After talking to the manager Nick [Cushing], I was overwhelmed by the way he thinks about football.
"I've been searching for that for a couple of years. It was very nice to talk to someone who thinks like I do.
"Nick said he thinks I am a good player and he likes the way I talk about football – my passion.
"When I was a small girl, I dreamt about becoming a professional player for the men's national team because I didn't know when I was little that I couldn't!
"Nick liked that story. Inside, I am still that small child, chasing my dream.
"He liked the way I thought about it and how I play with my heart. I want to win."
Asked what she feels the Blues can help her to improve on, Jans replied: "I think City can help me with a lot of things.
"Playing in Denmark, it is not easy to both be a professional player and study alongside.
"City can help me to focus more on the football and give me time to become the best I can be. I will do my studies alongside but I don't have to do it full-time. I can do full-time football and then improve on everything.
"I like the tempo and the physical part of the English game. We don't have that a lot in Denmark – only the hardest games.
Welcome, Mie! 🙌🔵⚪ #mcwfc pic.twitter.com/K1zdCe4fX1— Man City Women (@ManCityWomen) June 7, 2017
"After the 2016/17 Champions League, there has been a lot of talk about the English game and the footballers here. It's getting more known about the English teams. It will get even bigger."
In terms of her immediate and long-term hopes, Jans explained she wishes to slot in to her new side quickly, before pushing for a starting spot and ultimately, claiming silverware.
She declared: "In the beginning, I hope to settle down easily and get to know the team, the coaches and the culture – how they want to play.
"I'd like to play a lot of games in the starting XI. I want to be the best: that's my goal. I want to win trophies.
"I'm from Brondby, I was raised in Brondby and it's a winning culture: we only go for gold.
"I want to play in the Champions League too. I was in the semi-final a couple of years ago and when the final was being played, I was so disappointed we didn't get there.
"I really want to win the Champions League. I think City can do it.
"Hopefully, I can bring something to the team from Danish culture. I am excited to get started."

In today's competitive manufacturing environment, it is more important than ever to improve efficiency and effectiveness. Supply chain friction points must be removed and visibility into supply chain performance must be increased in order to remain competitive. To do this, companies need a comprehensive solution that enables them to monitor, evaluate, plan, and respond to ongoing changes within their organization and in the market. However, until now, companies have been constrained by supply chain management solutions that only focus on execution with little or no information on past, present, or future performance.
Oracle's PeopleSoft Manufacturing Scorecard provides the real-time production analysis needed to improve the overall adaptability of your supply chain. Consolidated visibility into best-practice key performance indicators (KPIs) can help you manage rising supply chain costs, address changes in your supply chain, and ensure better capacity utilization.
Healthcare systems around the world are in crisis. Reduced Medicare reimbursement, aging baby boomers, and increased regulatory requirements are requiring healthcare organizations do more with less. In order to survive, these organizations must identify where their money is being spent and how to balance the quality of care with cost-cutting initiatives. This requires executives and department managers to have visibility into financial, clinical, operational, and qualitative information that can be used to make the most effective decisions.
Oracle's PeopleSoft Healthcare Scorecard provides managers with the information they need to spot trends, forecast future performance, estimate whether they are on target to achieve organizational goals, and address situations before they impact the bottom line. With real-time consolidated information delivered directly to their desktops, managers no longer need to search dozens of reports in order to answer key questions such as: Are staffing numbers appropriate relative to the daily census levels? What is the average length of patient stays? What percentage of inpatient revenue is capitated vs. self-pay? Are supply costs higher than the expected threshold?
Nearly everyone in higher education is feeling the pressure to measure, analyze, and report on many aspects of the student population. Many institutions are being asked to show the value or return on the operational costs of student recruiting, courses they offer, and financing programs for students. Fragmented data, rising education costs, increasing global competition, and heightened regulatory requirements are diving the need for deeper insight and analysis of the core business of education—the students.
Oracle's Campus Solutions Warehouse enables institutions to access the data they need to increase student recruiting and retention rates, shorten the time-to-graduation, and monitor tuition awards and payments-all mission-critical business processes around which institutions are striving to improve metrics, drive down costs, and gain insight for powerful institution-wide decision-making.

Tokyo-based Nendo has designed several shop interiors for Theory, the New York-based fashion brand known for basics that fuse functionality with casual trends.
"We designed the interiors for two shops in Paris and Los Angeles and one shop each in London, Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo and Osaka." says Nendo. "Our idea was to adhere to the brand's existing combination of simplicity and functionality with New York loft-style materials and a general sense of ease, while adding and emphasizing a new concept: the flow of people."
"By coming up with a circulation plan as an urban planner might locate new roads within a city, we made careful provisions for people to flow into the shop naturally and move smoothly around it. For the London shop, we created a 'boulevard' that follows on directly from the crosswalk outside the shop."
"The Paris shop is located on a corner, so we installed entrances on both outward-facing walls and arranged a softly curving 'short cut' between them. We then added 'plaza' and 'park'-like product display stages and lounge corners like to fit with the 'road system' in each shop and modulate each space. Together, these touches allowed us to respond to the different demands placed on the shop space while creating new flows of people that may, we hope, flow out into and color the city space around the shops, too."

All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
Supcoin (SUP) is a new alternative crypto currency that was just launched using a new algorithm called Pluck that is SHA256-based with more load on the memory and was supposed to initially be mined with CPU only, but we saw a very quick release of a ccMiner fork that added GPU mining support for Nvidia from djm34. The coin has a relatively small pre-mine that will mostly go for bounties and already has a few pools available for mining, though exchanges are not yet available. It is an interesting new project that you might want to check out and there is definitely an interest since you can already even rent hashrate from MiningRigRentals with the new Pluck algorithm. Betarigs has also apparently added the new algo, but there are no mining rigs available to rent there yet. So it is a project that you might want to check out as it might turn out to be an interesting alternative crypto coin.

Illinois Military Records
This entry was originally written by Carol L. Maki and Michael John Neill for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
The 'Index to Compiled Service Records of Volunteer Union Soldiers who Served in Organizations from the State of Illinois,' an index to the National Archives records, is located at the Newberry Library (NARA microfilm publication M539) and Allen County Public Library.
A recent addition at the Illinois State Archives is an 898-reel set of microfilmed Revolutionary War Records based on the participation of American military, naval and marine, and enlisted men in the war. Most records date between 1800 and 1900 and come from files in National Archives Record Group 15, 'Selected Records from Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty-Land Warrant Application Files,' M805. This may be used at the Illinois State Archives and may be borrowed through the interlibrary loan service from the Illinois State Library. Arrangement is alphabetical by surname of the veteran.
The Illinois State Archives has indexes to men serving in Illinois units during the Indian Wars, Black Hawk War, Mexican War, Civil War, and Spanish-American War, including the Honor Roll of Veterans Buried in Illinois, a multi-volume set organized by county including veteran's name, cemetery, war service, and grave location within cemeteries. Multiple military record databases of cemeteries' state archives sources are available at the archives' website.
A National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers (Veterans Administration Center) was created at Danville, Illinois, in 1898. Records are located in National Archives in Record Groups 15 and 231.
The World War I Selective Service Draft Registration Cards for Illinois are on microfilm, available at the Illinois State Archives. The Records of the Selective Service Board...Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin, 1917'1919 (Record Group 163) are at the National Archives'Great Lakes Region; the collection includes an Index to Delinquent and Deserter Forms (incomplete for some states).
The World War II Selective Service Draft Registration cards for Illinois are available in manuscript form at the National Archives'Great Lakes Region (National Archives Record Group 147, Records of the Selective Service System, Illinois State Office Registration Cards, World War II, 4th Draft Registration). These cards are only available for those men who were born between 28 April 1877 and 16 February 1897.

The Minnesota Zoo has welcomed a female gibbon to their zoo. Born about three weeks ago, the gibbon was not being cared for by her mother. She is a white-cheeked gibbon, a critically endangered species.
Our favorite part of this video is the sounds that the baby makes. She sounds like R2D2.

We've seen wooden cars before, but they've never looked quite as awesome as this supercar one-off that a team of graduate students is building. Named Splinter, the supercar is being constructed as a serious attempt to explore the uses of wood as a bulding material for vehicles, so it's even loaded with a supercharged 600-hp V8 engine that should really give it a roar. More info after the jump.
A group of students from North Carolina State University, led by industrial design student Joe Harmon, are building Splinter as part of a thesis project. Harmon and his car dons intend to look at how to work with wood in car designs, so Splinter even has wooden components in its suspension and chassis.
Crafting a car like this has required them to come up with some innovative uses of laminated wood—the wheels are made of carefully cut and layered oak veneers strong enough to take the stress of a 1,200 kilogram body—that's as heavy as two Smart cars. And how do you stop the heat from its powerful mid-located V8 from setting fire to the body? Turn parts of it upside down so the exhaust vents over the top of the engine, and incorporate the muffler into the rear wing, where it can also aid downforce.
Inside the car the passengers' legs go between the arms of the suspension, which sounds kinda dangerous, but clearly the team has thought long and hard about it. They want project Splinter to "explore materials, learn, share ideas and stimulate creativity." And go bloody fast. Winding Road via Autoblog][

And I don't mean innings you've played, either. I'm not fussed about forcing 10 into a list or limiting a list to 10, name as many of the innings you like that you think were some of the best, whether you've seen them or not. Far more interesting sorts of lists than best 10 this-and-that players.
For me, a few that come to mind, in no particularly remarkable order, are...
Don Bradman, 254, first-innings, Lord's, 1930 - by the batsman's own recollection, every single shot (even the one where he was out) went exactly where he aimed it, off three-hundred-and-seventy-six balls. I can't believe anyone has ever come close to that number of error-free balls consecutively.
Nathan Astle, 222, second-innings, Christchurch, 2001\02 - beyond doubt, the best innings I've ever seen. People say they were chasing 550 and had no realistic chance of a win - regardless, it takes quite something to score a chanceless 222 off 168 balls with the ball swinging, plenty, in the hands of Andrew Caddick and Matthew Hoggard. Everyone remembers the outrageous swings that comprised the last 60 or 70, and completely forgets the almost exclusively completely conventional batting that took him most of the way - he played-and-missed on just a few occasions. I'll be very surprised if I ever see a batsman look so "in the zone" for such a long time playing such a wide range of shots.
Victor Trumper, 104, first-innings, Old Trafford, 1902 - with his side leading 1-0 going into the Fourth Test of five, on a pitch so wet everyone knew it would be benign for only a session or so then batting would become a lottery, Trumper had to act fast. He did, scoring 104 in 115 minutes (which could easily have been over a-run-a-ball). After his partnerships with Duff and Hill, Australia were knocked-over quickly as the pitch dried. They won the match by just 2 runs, and with it the series, but had it been anyone but Trumper opening-up they would surely never have got enough runs in the first-innings before batting became difficult.
Brian Lara, 153*, second-innings, Kensington Oval, 1999 (*) - this innings will always come with an asterisk next to it, and not in the form of a not-out, because it's oft assumed Lara single-handedly won the game for his side. The truth is he was dropped with 10 runs still needed. Nonetheless, it was a sensational innings, and would still be considered so if Healy had taken the requistite catch. With West Indies having levelled the series against Australia (due in no small part to a 213 from Lara) in the previous game, they needed 308 for a lead-gaining victory. With a next-highest score of 38, it was a lone hand from the famous Trinidadian left-hander. And to even come so close to winning a game was a magnificent effort. As it was, the work wasn't wasted, Healy missing the chance, and Lara completing victory that put his side 2-1 up.
Sachin Tendulkar, 136, second-innings, Chennai, 1998\99 - find it impossible to mention the above innings without mentioning this one, a few months earlier. In India and Pakistan's first meeting in a Test for nearly a decade, on an exceedingly difficult pitch (it had been vandalised weeks earlier) India and Pakistan tussled it out on first-innings, and Pakistan eventually managed to set their hosts 271. With only 1 other score above 10 in the innings, it was mostly down to the man from Mumbai. And he chiselled it out brilliantly, coming so close to victory. Sadly for him, though, the chance he gave with victory in sight was taken, where for Lara it had been dropped. India collapsed and lost by 12 runs, but without Tendulkar they would have been flattened.
Maybe I'll think of more later...

The 2014 Legislative Session is underway with the first week under our belts. I am looking forward to serving our district and getting things done to help Iowa prosper. The Governor's Condition of the State address and the Chief Justice's Condition of the Judiciary is behind us and we are busy with filing bills and working them through committees. The leadership in both chambers have accelerated the schedule for this session, hoping to finish in 93 days instead of the usual 100 days. Therefore we have a very limited timeframe for submitting bills and working them through our committees. It will be a very busy first few weeks.
The Budget
With an accelerated schedule, the legislature will need to focus very tightly on the budget. Last session we ran over our 110 day schedule by 3 weeks in order to iron out differences with the Senate over the budget. In the House we are continuing our commitment to effectively managing our state budget by following our four core principles: Do not spend more money than the state takes in; Do not use one time money for on-going expenses; Do not intentionally underfund entitlement programs to balance the states' budget; return unused tax dollars to Iowa's taxpayers.
Article Photos
State Rep. Dean Fisher
The governor proposed $7.001 billion and the REC projection is $6.983 billion. The House Republicans will work through this difference and once again pass a budget that complies with our four core budgeting principles for Fiscal Year 2015.
Iowa Juvenile Home
On Wednesday, January 15, the Iowa Juvenile Home in Toledo was closed. The last child had been moved out the day before. Two employees remain to make sure the bills are paid and the facility is maintained. I am upset with how the state handled the closure. The staff at the IJH was told that their last day would be Thursday, January 16, so they had made plans to say their goodbyes and take that last look around the campus before packing up and leaving. Instead, the Department of Human Services and Department of Administrative Services came in unannounced on Wednesday morning and directed the employees to pack up and leave in an hour with state troopers watching over them. This was an unnecessary and humiliating action that greatly insulted the fine, hardworking staff of the IJH. The staff had worked wonders for decades helping Iowa's troubled teenagers turn their lives around; the staff deserved a much more respectful end to their careers.
I will continue to work on the IJH issue. There are a number of efforts underway, I will be working with the leadership in both chambers and the governor's office to do what is best for the city of Toledo and the surrounding economy.
My Bills
I will continue to push my Insurance Restitution bill that allows the courts to order convicted persons to repay the full amount they are responsible for instead of only the uninsured portion. This is a common sense measure that should not only make sure our justice system is fair, but also help keep our insurance rates down. 36 states already have such a provision, including every state surrounding Iowa. The bill was delayed last year in judiciary in order to work out some details; I will file a new bill.
I am working on two bills to deal with persons that commit sex offences, particularly against children. These two bills are a direct response to a case last year in Tama County of a child sex abuser convicted in Minnesota in 1989 who was ultimately convicted of Child Stealing in Tama for trying to entice children into his home.
Under current Iowa law a person that commits a sex offense may be required to register for either 10 years or life depending on the severity of the crime, and a person convicted of similar crimes in another state that moves to Iowa is required to register in Iowa as long as they are still required to register in the state they were convicted in. The problem is that these persons can move to Iowa after they have "timed out" and never register here, we would never know they were a convicted child sex abuser living in our midst. My bill will require these persons that have "timed out" of their original sentence to register when they first move into Iowa and require any such convicted person to register whenever they change address for life, including those convicted in Iowa.
The second sex offender bill makes it a crime to harass a child by continuing to contact the child against the parents' consent, including giving the child gifts, inviting the child to their home, and other seemingly innocuous activities that a child sex abuser might use to entice a child and gain their confidence. This bill requires a parent to simply fill out a form at the local law enforcement office giving the name of the child and parents and the name of the person being restricted. Law enforcement will then inform the harasser and penalties will apply if the harassment does not stop. The bill applies a tougher penalty on a harasser that has prior convictions than it does on a harasser that does not have prior convictions.
The first bill that I filed this year, HF 2012 is a simple bill that changes the minimum age that a child can handle a handgun under adult supervision from age 14 to age 12. This bill has bipartisan support in both chambers. This request came from a constituent in Traer that coaches a Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF) handgun competition team. The SSSF has promoted competitive shooting sports for 12 to 20 year olds in rifle and shotgun for many years now, and is expanding into handgun competition. These SSSF teams are a great way to teach our youth the safe and responsible handling of firearms, teach them life lessons that emphasizes positive character traits and citizenship values, and introduces them to a sport they can compete in for a lifetime. If anyone wants to start a team in other parts of the district, please feel free to contact me and I'll help get you connected with the SSSF and the team in Traer.
I have many other bills in the works; I will keep you informed as I get them filed.
My Clerk for 2014
In the 2013 session Tyler Heeren clerked for me and did a fantastic job. Tyler is now in law school at Drake and his studies prevent him from clerking again this year. My clerk this year is a friend from New Hope Christian Church, Diane Lake. Diane is a very organized and hardworking lady, I can tell in my first week that she will be a big help to me.
In Closing
I would encourage you all to come down to the capitol for a visit. If you do, ask for a tour of the capitol dome, Diane will be ready to take you all the way up to the cupola. And of course you will want to take the tour of the rest of the capitol with the regular tour guides.
As always, feel free to contact me with your thoughts and concerns about our state government. My contact information is:

June 4-5. I just finished a famous book that I hadn't read before: The Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean Auel. The idea is, during the last ice age, an orphaned girl from our human subspecies gets adopted by Neanderthals. On one level, it's a wonderful vision of what it might be like to live in a forager-hunter tribe. But on another level, it's not about that at all. We know almost nothing about Neanderthal culture, and Auel chooses to make them patriarchal and authoritarian: women can't even speak to men without bowing down and asking permission first, and the clan has rigid rules which again and again come into conflict with their human instincts. Now, I'm sure this happens sometimes with primitive people, but it's much more typical of civilized people. And when a freethinking young person challenges a dying orthodoxy, we're not seeing eastern Europe in the ice age, but America in the 1960's, or any fundamentalist culture shifting to one that's more free and open. I wonder if the book is popular in Iran right now.
It also reminded me of Harry Potter: an extremely talented orphan joins an exotic community, learns amazing skills, endures terrible hardships, and repeatedly defeats a jealous villain. And last year when I read The Color of Distance, I didn't realize it was Clan of the Cave Bear on another planet.
For a different and equally interesting view of Neanderthals, here's a short article by Stan Gooch on Neanderthals. There's much more in his book Cities of Dreams. Basically he makes a bunch of "two kinds of people" observations, and lines them up so it looks like humans are torn between our Neanderthal and Cro Magnon natures. He also thinks that the big explosion of creativity 35,000 years ago was from the "hybrid vigour" of the crossbreeding. If you think breeding between Neanderthal and Cro Magnon is interesting, wait until we start genetically engineering ourselves.
June 17. Yesterday I saw this reddit comment thread on printers and how they never work right. I live in a house with two printers and I can't get either one to work on either of two operating systems. On my winter tour 18 months ago, everyone I stayed with had a computer, but almost nobody had a working printer. When I want a hardcopy of a google map, I trace it from the screen.
What's going on? I think this is something deeper than incompetence or profiteering, and NiceDay4ASulk is on the right track with the comment that printers are "the bridge between the digital world and the physical world." Maybe this has something to do with entropy: the physical world is like a higher energy state than the virtual world, so it's easy to take a picture of a physical object and put it in a computer, but to go the other way, and turn bits in a computer into a physical object, is extremely difficult.
Some techno-utopians think we're going to have home fabricators, where you can download information and "print" any physical object. But printing text on paper is harder now than it was 20 years ago. As information systems get more complex, and available energy gets lower, we are moving in the opposite direction, copying physical stuff into the digital world, and moving our consciousness there with it.
The problem is that our consciousness is tied to physical bodies that need food and shelter. Where the digital world does not feed us, it starves us, and then starves itself. Or, as I've written before: every sub-world must justify itself in terms of the world that contains it. It would be wonderful if we could use computers to print bacon and glassy metal building blocks, but realistically, if we are using them at all, we will be using them to share information about how to eat cattail roots and build houses out of sand and clay, with our hands.
June 24 - July 8. Was the cowardly lion just masturbating too much? The article's sexual angle is a distraction. The real issue here is that we are using technology to self-administer dopamine, we are getting better and better at it, and it's ruining us. This is what Scott Adams meant when he said that the holodeck will be our last invention. Anne mentions another article in the same magazine with more details on dopamine and addiction.
At the moment, through porn, games, and drugs, anyone in the industrialized world has the option to get dopamine-addicted. But even without these technologies, some people can still do this, if they have strong imaginations. In civilized culture, these are the "dreamers", and a few become great artists and philosophers. In primitive culture, these must be the people who become shamans.
So I'm wondering: now that anyone can get dopamine-addicted, how do you play the advantage of having a strong imagination? Is it better to self-administer dopamine through your own imagination than through external tools? In this society, is it better to get pleasure from solitary daydreaming, than from "useful" activities that are mostly harmful?
A reader argues that you can't get dopamine through daydreaming, and it occurs to me that dopamine is not the only brain pleasure chemical. Which one is it, for example, that you get while you're dozing in the morning? Maybe serotonin? Going back to the original article, suppose there are two people enjoying the same porn, and their brains are responding differently, with one of them addicted to dopamine, and the other one in a much healthier pattern. Certainly there is both healthy sex and sex addiction, so there must also be better and worse ways to have imaginary sex, or to play World of Warcraft, or to read books.
Notice that people who get dopamine-addicted to productive activity are called "workaholics", and it's still not considered healthy! Is dopamine addiction always bad for us? If it is sometimes good, then this might be a helpful rule: it's good to get pleasure from something you do yourself (or as part of a group), and bad to get it from something that is done for you. And if dopamine addiction is always bad, then how should we motivate ourselves?
Maybe we need to exercise more old-fashioned self-control, and it's unrealistic for us to expect to feel good all the time. Here's an edited-down bit from Cory Doctorow's review of the book The Upside of Irrationality:
My favorite is the section on adaptation, the way in which both pain and delights fade down to a baseline normal. Ariely points out that if you take a break, the emotional sensation comes back with nearly full force. We have a tendency to indulge our pleasures without respite, and to take frequent breaks from things that make us miserable. This is exactly backwards. If you want to maximize your pleasure, you should trickle it into your life, with frequent breaks for your adaptive response to diminish. If you want to minimize your pain, you should continue straight through without a break, because every time you stop, your adaptive response resets and you experience the discomfort anew.I also stumbled on this great blog post, The default brain network and ADD. Basically the default network is what the brain is doing all the time when it's not doing anything else, the background "stream of consciousness". And now I'm wondering: do some default networks function well, while others function badly? Could this explain why some people use alcohol or other drugs to "stop thinking"? I'm even wondering about meditation, which attempts to still the default network. Maybe this is only really valuable if your default network is not working right, and you have to shut it down to repair it.
July 1. This Is Not A Weed is a smart article about urban weeds. The big idea is that "native" and "invasive" don't make any sense in the city, since it's a new kind of habitat where nothing is native.
July 12. The Waterboxx is a new device that can water trees in dry areas by collecting dew. You can order ten of them for $275, but since it's made of plastic, this would be a perfect thing to make with a large RepRap.
July 15. Important 1997 article, Places to Intervene in a System. It argues that the leverage point of industrial civilization, where the smallest action will produce the biggest change, is economic growth... but everyone is pushing in the wrong direction!
This new Bill McKibben interview goes from growth to some visions of the future after economic collapse and climate change.
And Fritjof Capra explores Qualitative Growth, in which the world gets better without the numbers getting higher.
July 17. What drowning really looks like. Drowning people don't splash their arms and scream, even if it would attract attention that would save them. Instead, their nervous system forces them to use their arms and mouth to do nothing but take one more gulp of air. This reminds me of how complex systems fail to prevent collapse: when they get in a state of crisis, they focus all their energy on keeping the whole thing going just a bit longer, while sabotaging their long term survival.
July 17. The perils of rationalization: if you base your decisions on what you are able to explain to other people in words, you will make bad decisions, but if you don't care whether you can explain your decisions, you will make good ones. Oddly, the actual title of the article is "the perils of introspection", which should encompass much, much more than cooking up words to justify your actions. Imagine, if you can, what it would be like to spend hours and hours doing stuff inside your head, without ever using language.
July 29-31. The Economist covers freight trains vs passenger trains. American freight trains are the best in the world, and this is related to the fact that our passenger trains are expensive and slow: Amtrak has to pay to use railways that the freight companies own, and has to go slow to match the speed of freight. The Economist will never mention that corporations were given the rails in the first place in exchange for conditions that they never met. (See Railroads and Clearcuts.) But if we change the rail system to better serve human passengers, it will not work as well for freight.
Right now the fashionable way to make passenger trains "better" is to make them faster. Everybody wants to brag about their bullet train. But I've taken several cross-country Amtrak rides and was totally happy with the speed. Alexa comments:
People who bitch about American trains have either never been on them, or are entirely too hurried in their lives. Rolling across Ohio at five in the morning, standing in a vestibule with an open window, feeling the moist air moving by, watching the fog lift from the farmfields... I always bring things to do on the trip, and I never do them because I spend so much time staring out the window, being impressed and relieved to see how much of the country is still not inhabited.
My complaint is the cost. This article, How Green Is Your Ride, charts the "energetic performance" of different vehicles, and trains are much better than cars or planes. So why are they more expensive? But notice that freight trains are one to two orders of magnitude better than passenger trains. I'm guessing this is because freight can be packed more densely, but the result is that bicycles are still the most efficient way to move people.
My other complaint is that American trains don't go enough places... but they used to! From this page of PDF links to pre-Amtrak system maps, you can see the American passenger rail system shrink, in less than ten years, from almost 90,000 miles to under 20,000 miles, "in the face of massive, government-run aviation and highway programs." Why did the government do this? Because the nation was filthy rich, and citizens wanted the "freedom" of zipping around in their personal vehicles, and also because the corporations that owned the government could profit more from cars than trains.
But cars require massive subsidies in the form of highway construction and repair. As the industrial economy declines, more and more of the pavement will fall apart -- or in well-managed areas, be rolled back to gravel. Unless super-efficient airships are invented, air travel will shrink to serve only the elite. In this climate, the best move for governments is to shift their subsidies back to rails. Otherwise, the next level down is bicycles and horses, which don't really need a government.
August 6. Blog post about pemmican, the superfood of American Indians, which supposedly keeps for decades and provides complete nutrition. There are links to recipes at the bottom. Basically you completely dry a bunch of red meat at below 120F, grind it to a powder, and mix it one to one with rendered fat, ideally grass-fed. The purists say to just use those two ingredients, but I see benefit and no harm in adding unrefined salt, and maybe honey.
August 11. Very smart 2008 article, The Traffic Guru, about a Dutch guy who figured out that if you control traffic by subtly changing the landscape, instead of using signs and lights, it flows much better. There's also some good stuff about how the automobile changes human consciousness.
August 12. Sharon Astyk writes about livestock breeding. (At first I thought the title, "What are you breeding for?" meant "Why are you having kids?") Her point is that livestock breeding, in this brief age, has been for massive production using massive inputs. For example, after WWI, German villages replaced "unproductive" weed-fed goats with highly productive grain-fed goats, and the result was that rich people had too much milk while poor people had no milk at all. The same kind of thing happened all over, many local breeds were lost... and now we get to make new local breeds! I would phrase it like this: we need to stop breeding for quantity, and start breeding for various qualities.
For example, I'm growing a Court Pendu Plat apple tree, an 1800 year old variety that still fruits when the weather is erratic. Genetic engineering is said to make crops "more productive", but it's actually being used to make crops better adapted to large-scale high-energy industrial farming. Outside of that context, most GMO crops will be less productive than the old varieties, because they'll die! Of course, biotech doesn't have to be used this way. Michael Pollan has spoken in favor of open-source genetic modification, and I agree. It's dangerous, but it can also be used to very rapidly adapt to industrial collapse and climate change, by churning out new plants and animals that fit the new conditions.
September 3. Westerners vs the World is a pretty good article about how people in western industrialized cultures think differently from other humans, and how psychologists need to consider this, instead of doing studies on American college students and generalizing to all of humanity.
This reminds me of an article by Malcolm Gladwell on the Flynn effect. Gladwell argues that the steady increase in IQ scores is caused by an increase in a detached and abstract style of thinking.
I'm wondering: does detached abstract thinking lead anywhere, or is it a dead end? As extraction-based economies collapse, and office workers become gardeners, will IQ scores drop?
My guess is that the IQ test will fade away, and be replaced by some new test, which measures the dominant style of thinking in the next age. And detachment was not a dead end, because it will enable us to become re-attached in a new way.
September 4. How to make a chest fridge, which is more efficient than a refrigerator that opens sideways. The article describes a difficult way to convert a chest freezer into a chest fridge, but this guy has made a $160 gadget that does it for you. Also, SunDanzer makes expensive chest fridges. And this dead link about a solar chest fridge claims that you can just find a temperature control from an old fridge and wire it in place of the freezer thermostat. Adam comments:
I made a chest fridge just by getting a $20-$30 fridge thermostat from a fridge repair guy, and replacing the one in the chest freezer. It took a lot of fiddling with the three adjustment screws and the probe was about twice as long as it needed to be so it's just coiled up underneath, but it works great! Apparently Tom Chalko's system is unnecessarily complicated for most of us, as he is running solar PV off grid and needs some extra circuitry on account of that.
September 14/20. The world's largest cargo ships are now going slower than sailing clippers 130 years ago. Mark comments that the record for circumnavigating the world is roughly 60 days for a powerboat (held by Earthrace), and 50 days for a sailboat (held by Orange II). But...
Orange II would have been far more labour intensive than Earthrace to run. I think this is why we don't see a resurrection of Clipper ships -- the overall cost might be more taking into account skilled labour.
This fits with a point made by John Michael Greer, that high wages are an anomaly caused by cheap energy, and in the next age, labor will be cheaper. I wrote more about that here.
September 22/28. I've just returned from the Northwest Permaculture Convergence, where the keynote speaker was Mark Lakeman of City Repair Portland. He had lots of great stuff to say about the designs of human settlements. Until recently, almost all of us lived in villages, which had seemingly chaotic layouts that were actually highly functional and democratic. An important feature of villages is the village square, a place where streets meet and widen out into an open area where people can gather. It's important that the center of the square be empty. If instead the center contains a monument, that's a sign that you're in a hierarchy, where the monument represents the central power that you're all supposed to obey. Even worse is the grid system, where the streets meet in tight intersections and any gathering will get in the way. I would say that in this system, the grid itself is the monument.
For the history of civilization, the grid-makers have been violently conquering the village-dwellers and turning them into new populations of grid-makers. Lakeman's organization is trying to turn the grids in Portland back into villages, by organizing neighborhoods to occupy intersections, paint them, and then physically widen them. Also they're working within the housing grid to make it more village-like.
Some questions that Lakeman did not ask, because he could not have answered them in a 90 minute talk: Why do grid-makers violently conquer village-dwellers? Why is it never the other way around? And how did the grid-making get started? I've already argued in Beyond Civilized and Primitive that repressive complex society is not a fluke, but a potential that lurks in our nature. I think we can't overcome it without changing our nature, which will take either thousands of years or lucky biotech. But it's good to think about how we could minimize the dangers of human nature through better system design. Michael writes:
A non-gridded city arises not by design, but by ad-hoc construction of roads as they are needed. This means that when any one road is built, it only takes into account the needs of the buildings already or soon to be in operation. Buildings added late in the city's life may be faced with inefficient inner roads that cannot be changed. And if land use changes in the city center, the roads may not serve it well either.
Commitment to a grid indicates that the city is prepared for infinite growth -- to abandon the pleasures of ad-hoc optimized routes so that the seed village can function efficiently once it becomes merely part of a megalopolis.
So grids enable growth, and historically, growth and violent conquest have gone hand in hand. But they don't have to! Suppose there were a human society that could expand into neighboring territory not by conquering the neighbors, but because the neighbors like it better. Of course, buying people off with more stuff has already been tried, with catastrophic results. But we have barely begun to experiment with large-scale systems optimized for autonomy, free time, or participation in power. Turning abandoned golf courses into food forests is easy -- it's much more challenging to link it all together into a system that is neither repressive, nor easy to conquer. Here's a good Jeff Vail post, The Diagonal Economy 6, about the potential for non-hierarchical network connections in human societies.
October 10. From 2008, David Graeber on gift economies. We all know that gift economies are great. I'm posting it because of this bit:
...the scholars at the conference invariably assumed that "gifts" do not really exist: Scratch deep enough behind any human action, and you'll always discover some selfish, calculating strategy. Even more oddly, they assumed that this selfish strategy was always, necessarily, the real truth of the matter; that it was more real somehow than any other motive in which it might be entangled. It was as if to be scientific, to be "objective" meant to be completely cynical. Why?
This is the kind of question that everyone needs to ask all the time. Anyway, Graeber examines a theory blaming Christianity, but I blame materialism, the philosophical idea that matter, not mind, is the fundamental reality. If the whole universe is just lifeless particles and waves going through clockwork motions, then it's much easier to project selfishness on those motions, than love.

I've been reading tutorials online for a grid, but none of them really work out the way I want
can you help me do a grid that works out evenly to the image montage I've got?
Building a grid in Photoshop
Generally speaking, most of those tutorials are quick and basic, just to generate ad revenue, and never really take into account the intended purpose of the piece. When planning a photo montage to fit into a grid -- if you want the grid to come out accurately -- you've got to do a little math and planning before Photoshop.
1) What is the final size and intended use?
2) Are the images all to the same, proper resolution?
Once you've established those two questions about the project, you can proceed at good speed.
For this demonstration, I'll use a 600 pixel "final" size. (Since my web column is 600 pixels!) Knowing that, I assertain how many blocks I want in the grid. So, let's say 8.
600 divided by 8 = 75.
With that math, we know that our grid size will be 75 pixels. So, lets set up the file.
Mosaic Montage File: Start the new file: 600 pixels by 400 pixels
Set the resolution to what ever is required for the final project, also keeping in mind the resolution of your existing images.
Grid File: Start a second file and set it to 75 x 75 pixels, by the resolution of the original file. This is going to be your grid "tile" size.
Pattern File for Grid Separators: to save time and tedium, we'll work in the 75 pixel grid file, with our Marquee (M) tool set to a Fixed Aspect Ratio of 78 x 3 pixels, and draw our first grid separator across the bottom.
Then reverse the numbers to 3 and 78 to draw the right side grid separator. I added some slop with the 78 just to make sure I got the full 75 pixels.
From this file, we'll make our Pattern for the Mosaic file.
Define the Pattern: Now, Select All (Cmd/Ctrl A) and then choose
Edit > Define Pattern and then
Name the pattern and click Okay
This will save the two border lines as a pattern, which will become our grid in the Mosaic file. Note that we saved the right and bottom, white lines on a transparent layer. This will remain transparent in the pattern once generated.
Apply the Pattern: Keep this file open, but now select your 600 pixel Mosaic file to bring it to the front and active. In this file,
Create a new blank layer (Click the "New Layer" button at the bottom of your Layers Palette.) and then
Select Edit > Fill to initiate the Fill dialog
Contents > Use: > Pattern
Then scroll down until you find the pattern you just created. Select that pattern and finally, click Okay.
Your 600 pixel file now has a white pattern on a transparent layer that works out perfectly to the width of the file.
The depth is secondary, we'll work within even tile openings, then trim the depth later. If you are required to have a set depth to the file, then you'll have to do the math thing for both dimensions until you arrive at even tile sizes in both directions. Let me warn you at this point -- if the aspect ratio of the file doesn't allow for even sized grid tiles, you'll be forced to have rectangular grid tiles. This may or may not be what you want.
Next: Build our montage mosaic in the grid file
... continues on the next page!

Toronto FC 0, Colorado Rapids 1 | MLS Match Recap
TORONTO – The Colorado Rapids edged past injury-ridden Toronto FC 1-0 in a scrappy match at BMO Field on Saturday, thanks to Edson Buddle's 99th career MLS goal.
Buddle stroked home a low finish after a quick series of passes by the Rapids landed at the US forward's feet for an easy tap-in goal in the 77th minute.
Colorado started the play on the right, a cross finding substitute Dillon Serna, who switched the play to Dillon Powers. Powers took a look up, saw Buddle in the box surrounded by Toronto FC defenders and put in a well-placed pass to find his forward. Buddle slipped the ball past Julio Cesar to earn Colorado their first-ever points from a regular-season visit to Toronto.
In truth, it was evenly contested game, with Toronto FC creating many more chances but Colorado absorbing their pressure with calmness and poise. Despite a handful of close calls, Toronto couldn't find the back of the net as the Reds clearly missed injured stars Michael Bradley and Jermain Defoe.
The first half was a relatively staid affair, both sides enjoying spells of extended possession with fluid build up but neither team finding the back of the net. Toronto created the bulk of the chances, with numerous corners and a few misplaced headers.
Steven Caldwell picked up a yellow card for handball in the 17th minute, the only card of the game, but the Rapids could not take advantage of the dangerous set piece that resulted and the two teams headed into the locker rooms level at 0-0.
The second half was much of the same, both teams playing with positive intent but neither side getting onto the scoresheet until Buddle's late decider.
TFC came closest, with Dwayne De Rosario heading backwards off a Kyle Bekker corner kick.
Seconds later, Caldwell nearly corrected his earlier mistake with a header of his own, which went just wide.
Toronto continued to create chances as Gilberto and Jackson came alive, but Colorado held firm.
Serna entered in the 74th minute for Nathan Sturgis and he made his presence felt soon after in the build-up to the game's only goal. Toronto tried to find an answer in the remaining 15 minutes through a series of corners and free kicks, but couldn't reply in kind, giving Colorado a valuable three points away from home.
It's TFC's second loss of the season and the first loss at BMO Field. The Reds were without five key starters in Defoe, Bradley, Jonathan Osorio, Doneil Henry and Alvaro Rey. The win moves the Rapids into second in the Western Conference with 10 points.
Toronto FC take on FC Dallas next Saturday at Toyota Stadium. Meanwhile, the Rapids host the San Jose Earthquakes at Dick's Sporting Goods Park on April 19.
MLSsoccer.com Men of the Match
|What We Saw
|Dillon Powers
|Ran the Rapids engine room efficiently and made the difference on the game-deciding play. Continues to play with outsized maturity for his age.
|Edson Buddle
|It took a while for him to get into the flow of this uneven match, but he took his best chance with gusto.
|Kyle Bekker
|There's no avoiding the extent to which TFC missed Michael Bradley, but Bekker contributed plenty of energy and tempo in his stead nonetheless.

I have no problem meeting a man for the first time when it's one-on-one, but if he's with a group I don't know, I clam up. Would a guy think it was weird if I asked him to go sit somewhere by ourselves so I can get him away from his friends?
That all depends on how you ask. If you say, "Your buddies tell stupid jokes and smell like wet cheese — let's get away from them!" he won't go anywhere with you because it would mean dissing his pals.
Luckily, you can't go wrong with the noisy-bar excuse: "It's so loud! Want to sit over there, where we can hear each other better?" And to give you more confidence, take a page from the dude playbook and don't wade into a group of potentials solo. Bring a wingwoman or two to help you out.
