Voting Rights After Shelby v Holder
States move to tighten voting rules after Supreme Court ruling on Voting Rights Act
Related Links
In June 2013, the Supreme Court struck down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act, which established a formula for Congress to use when determining if a state or voting jurisdiction requires prior approval before changing its voting laws. Currently under Section 5 of the act nine—mostly Southern—states with a history of discrimination must get clearance from Congress before changing voting rules to make sure racial minorities are not negatively affected. While the 5-4 decision in Shelby County v. Holder did not invalidate Section 5, it made it toothless. Chief Justice John Roberts said the formula Congress now uses, which was written in 1965, has become outdated. "While any racial discrimination in voting is too much, Congress must ensure that the legislation it passes to remedy that problem speaks to current conditions," he said in the majority opinion. In a strongly worded dissent, Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg said, "Hubris is a fit word for today's demolition of the V.R.A." (Voting Rights Act).
States Quickly Pass Restrictive Voting Laws
Fallout from the ruling was swift, with several states quickly moving to change their voting laws. Texas unveiled a redistricting plan and enacted a law that requires voters to present identification before casting a ballot.
North Carolina passed the nation's most restrictive voting law in August. The law contains dozens of measures that will certainly discourage voting. The most draconian provisions included: requiring a photo ID to vote, banning counties from extending voting hours due to extraordinary events, eliminating pre-registration for 16- and 17-year-olds, eliminating the state's same-day voter registration program, no longer allowing provisional voting if someone goes to the wrong precinct, shortening the early-voting period, doing away with the same-day registration program, and instituting a photo identification requirement.
In addition, Alabama, Mississippi, Virginia, and South Carolina-all states that are required to seek pre-clearance before changing their laws under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act-all passed laws requiring photo IDs to vote.
U.S. Justice Department Intervenes
The U.S. Justice Department signaled it would intervene as necessary to protect voting rights.
"Even as Congress considers updates to the Voting Rights Act in light of the Court's ruling, we plan, in the meantime, to fully utilize the law's remaining sections to ensure the voting rights of all American citizens are protected," Attorney Eric Holder said in a speech. "My colleagues and I are determined to use every tool at our disposal to stand against discrimination wherever it is found."
U.S. Attorney General followed through on his pledge to protect minority voters. In August, he announced that the Justice Department was joining a lawsuit against the Texas redistricting plan and filing a lawsuit challenging the voter-ID law. The suits said that Texas has a history of discriminating against minorities and requested that a federal judge require that the state seek pre-clearance from the government before changing the state's voting laws. The lawsuits cite Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans discrimination in voting rules. In cases involving Section 2, the plaintiff must prove discrimination exists, making them difficult to win. The Justice Department also challenged several provisions of North Carolina's law in a suit filed in late September.

Strip WPA Capture File Down To EAPOL Packets Based On BSSID Instead Of ESSIDPosted by alex in Security
In the past we have written a couple articles on using tshark to strip WPA capture files down to a specific ESSID or SSID but in some cases it can be more useful to strip the capture down by BSSID or MAC address of the WAP. Isolating packets by BSSID or WAP MAC address is useful in a scenario where a wireless deployment has numerous WAP's and you have captured a specific SSID's traffic from more than one WAP. Below is information on how to strip down a capture file based on BSSID and information on capture size before stripping the file down.aircrack-ng, bssid, cap, capture, dictionary attack, eapol, essid, Mac, MAC address, oclhashcat, SSID, tshark, WAP, Wireless, wireless access point, wireshark, wlan_mgt, WPA, wpa capture

Was this review helpful?
Comments On Sep 12, 2013:I've tried many different octane boosters and Maxima Hi-test reduces/eliminates detonation (pinging)without nasty side effects. (some other octane boosters will discolor your plastic fuel tanks). It also makes a good fuel stabilizer. I notice no loss in fuel performance when storing for a few months here and there, and have had not had issues with fuel deposits in my carburators. I see a couple other reviews that knock it for not adding power, I would like to point out that increasing the octane of your fuel does NOT increase power... that's not the point. The point is to reduce engine damage in high-compression engine applications, and Maxima Hi-test is the next best thing to running race fuel.

Project Instructions
Review fonts on computer and select various fonts that are not too thin in any areas. Match fonts with chosen letters. Enlarge letters to various sizes and print out. (Piece together and tape papers as needed to make patterns.) Cut out letters using scissors.
Use pencil to trace letters onto Elmer's® Foam Board. Decide if making single thickness or double. For double thick letters trace two. Use Retractable #1 Knife (with new blade) on Self Healing Cutting Mat to cut letters. Hint: Score lightly first and then press more firmly to cut deeper, with several passes of the knife. Go either clockwise or counter clockwise for all cutting (in case blade angles slightly. Replace blades often.
Decide which papers will be letters and which will be edge trim. (Plan on one sheet per letter and half to a whole sheet for trim. If letters are taller than 12", you'll need to piece additional paper.) Use 12" Rotary Paper Trimmer to cut six to eight 12" wide strips for edge trim, (One layer Foam Board letters need 1/2" wide strips and two layer need 1" wide strips.)
If letters are two Foam Board layers, glue together with Elmer's® CraftBond™ Extra Strength Glue Stick. Weigh down with books and let dry Then, apply glue stick to front of letter and press paper, right side up onto letter. Turn over, onto cutting mat. Use knife to trim excess paper. Similarly, attach and trim other paper to other letters.
Apply glue stick to edge of letter and attach strip, a few inches at a time, going all around letter. Let dry. For hanger, on back determine balance point by holding letter. Measure and mark 2 1/2" down from top and use craft knife to make 1/4" long, shallow horizontal slit. Carefully insert knife blade into slit, angled up toward top and remove. Slightly separate curved end of paper clip 1/4". Insert shorter rounded end up into slit, creating hanger loop with longer end of paper clips. If letter needs more support, add another paper clip. (Note: If area at top is too thin for paper clip, use two on the sides.)
Optional: Cover backs of letters and allow to stand up on shelves.

"Dear David,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting together the magnificent Antarctica Tour that my daughter and I just finished. Every detail worked perfectly from the time we got on the plane at SeaTac airport in Seattle, until the time we returned to SeaTac.
Giselle Lopez, the excellent tour guide in Buenos Aires was waiting for us at the airport there with a car and driver. Her half day tour of the city was excellent--she is a fantastic guide and so knowledgeable. When we checked into our hotel room, it was just great--and then we turned on the TV to a local news channel and were greeted with the news that a new pope had just been chosen and he was from Argentina! (How did you arrange the timing on that?) The location of our Hotel Madero was perfect for a short walk in the vicinity. That evening, in spite of a horrific traffic jam, our driver arrived on time to take us to Rojo Tango. Next morning we were taken to the airport right on schedule.
We were met in Ushuaia by a guide and van who took us on a tour of the National Park. Again we were fortunate to have such a knowledgeable guide. Las Hayas Hotel is definitely a winner. Our room was deluxe and dinner couldn't have been finer. Next morning we took a cab into Ushuaia for some shopping and lunch. Our driver met us a promised at the Hotel Albatross and delivered us to our cruise ship (our bags had been picked up that morning by the cruise company at Las Hayas).
The Russian cruise ship, Akademik Sergey Vavilov, was another winner. We had a lovely cabin (my daughter insists it was the best one on the ship because of size and location). Surprisingly, many of the Staff were from Seattle, the Pacific Northwest and Canada, which made for a lot of conversation for us. Again the Staff were so knowledgeable and helpful and took special care of this 80-year-old little lady. The lectures on board were great, the food delicious, the guests delightful. The Russian crew were a delight taking care of our needs efficiently and quietly.
Antarctica is so very special and spectacular. We came home with so many amazing photos and videos. We have been regaling our friends with our adventures.
From the time we left the cruise ship in Ushuaia til I walked in my front door, it was 33-1/2 hours! Next time could you arrange for Scottie to "beam us up?"
Again, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for a truly amazing once in a lifetime adventure. I hope to call on you again in the future.

"We have now returned from our splendid tour: Munich to Budapest. Thank you very much indeed. It exceeded all our expectations, even the weather cooperated. Every driver and guide was on time – even early – and was efficient and friendly. We were surprised that the tour was so "private" and personal. The networking between your office and local enterprises works very well. The ship's crew and services were impressive. So thank you again. We will certainly recommend you to our friends."

$2.8 million.
That's how much the team of Newtown Savings Bank and the United Way of Western Connecticut had raised for the Sandy Hook School Support Fund since December 15 -- as of last Friday, just a few days before Christmas.
While many opportunities for contributing have sprung up since the tragic shooting on December 14, the fund is the primary donation source listed on websites for Newtown Public Schools and the town of Newtown.
On Saturday, the United Way of Western Connecticut announced the fund had raised $2.8 million. One hundred percent of funds will go directly to the community, according to the United Way.
"We are overwhelmed by the generosity of caring people from across the nation and around the world who are supporting the Newtown Community," said UWWC CEO Kim Morgan in the December 22 release.
In an interview with Patch shortly after the fund was launched, Newtown Savings Bank President John Trentacosta said the United Way and the bank won't have any say in where funds end up -- instead, money will be distributed by an independent advisory board made up of Newtown residents, which could include school officials, parents and religious leaders.
"What we're trying to do is be responsive and helpful to our communities and the citizens who were impacted by [this tragedy]," he said.
In the release, United Way officials also said the they are working with the town to set up a "command center" to help manage volunteers and distribute donations.
To donate, visit their web site's donation form.

The reversible color scheme and six-inch fringe, as well as the sultry softness of the cashmere-wool blend, mark this as a truly sumptuous throw.
With pieces that are chic, understated, and as luxuriously soft as an embrace, a & R Cashmere sets a tone that's sophisticated and welcoming at the same time. Its sought-after cashmere yarns, carefully coiffed and delicately woven, are sourced from Mongolian goats that are treated with the greatest of care. Also offered are wool, cashmere-wool and wool-bamboo blends; wool is particularly suited to absorbing color, and these blends are wonderfully vibrant and soft.

Those "ratings" for radiant barrier are ASTM C 236 guarded hot box values at a fixed 30F (or is it only 25F?) nominal delta-T to use for comparisons, but based on very particular assembly installation criteria. For instance, to meet that performance in walls the RB must be installed at the mid-point between the exterior sheathing and the interior gypsum. In a 2x4 assembly if the gap is narrower than 1.5" on either side, it won't perform as well as advertised. In some localities those values are allowed to be used for meeting code, but in many not. If it's not air tight creating two pressure-tight cavities in each stud bay losses to convection currents at high delta-Ts are also VERY significant, so getting the labeled performance out of it requires METICULOUS installation, air-sealing it in each stud bay. But if you air-seal every seam, it'll work about as well as R11 batts, but it's still sub-code, and not recommended.
In attic applications it's performance varies depending on whether it's warm side up vs. warm side down, and whether there are separate air barriers on both sides or just one. To hit 16.8 in a joist cavity implies that it's hot side up, which is not what you're looking for in Cleveland, where there are real winters when you'll be cold-side up.
The bubble foil stuff is also problematic in that it is a true vapor-barrier, and once it's in the assembly you have to be VERY careful about the vapor retardency of both the interior and exterior material to avoid trapping moisture in the cavity. The cavities need to be AIR tight on both sides, but still be at least partially vapor-open from a water-vapor diffusion point of view (which sides and how much is climate specific), and that bubble-pack isn't vapor open at all, with a permeance rating of under 0.1.
Low density fiberglass batts are not without problems, since air convects within the batt fiber at high temperature differences, causing loss of performance with big delta-Ts. (But the fiber at least retards that flow, unlike radiant barrier with air-leaks.) The also need to be tight the sheathing, gypsum and studs- you can get even bigger convective losses if air can move around the batt unimpeded, even if it's only short distances. This means you have to split the batt to tuck half behind, half in front of any wiring or plumbing, and cut carefully around electrical boxes, etc to that you have NO compressions and NO voids, it fits' tight to all features in the stud bay. The labeled R value is an ASTM C 518 plate test, measuring the heat flux 25F away from a center temp of 75F, in both directions. It gets colder than (75F-25F= ) 50F in Cleveland, so you really DO care about it's R value at 25F and at 0F, which will be lower than label. The air-tight Moving up to high density R15 "cathedral ceiling" batts is a big improvement- they're much more air-retardent due to the higher density, for lower convection rates, and have much better performance at the temperature extremes than might be implied by R13 vs. R15.
Also, the test-fixture plate provides an air-barrier on both sides, which improves performance, the air-tightness of both the sheathing and the sheet-rock side can affect this. And in the attic joist there is RARELY a full air barrier on top, which in a warm-side-down configuration (like Cleveland in January), it's an efficiency disaster, since the buoyancy of the warm air on the ceiling gypsum causes convection loops that even go OUTSIDE the fiber layer. Again, with the higher air-retardency of high-density batts performance is much-improved- R38C high-density cathedral-ceiling batts still perform nearly to spec with a 25F attic, but again, any gaps or compressions really undercut performance.
The better and more reliable solution: Blown/sprayed high-density fiber. With blown fiber it automatically fills in all gaps and voids, eliminating thermal-bypass convection completely, and installs nearly perfectly without obsessive trimming and tucking/sealing. At at sufficiently high density the loss of performance at the temperature extreme is very small indeed.
The value-leader here tends to be cellulose, but new-school fiberglass blowing wools like Spider and Optima can perform as well or better, but only if applied at a density of 1.8lbs per cubic foot or better. At lower density they're not sufficiently air-retardent to maintain performance at Cleveland's winter temps. By nature cellulose is denser and more air-retardent than fiberglass, even low-density (1.6-lbs open blow in an attic) cellulose is highly air-retardent, but can be made better/tighter if "dense packed" at 3.2-3.5lbs/cubic foot in wall cavities. In a rebuild it can be wet-sprayed at low density (with just enough water to activate a water-based adhesive) into open wall cavites, and trimmed flush with the studs and left to dry. In 2x4 construction you can close in with only 2-3 days of drying time, but with 2x6 you'd need a week, maybe even a space heater or dehumidifier to help it along. It will continue to dry through gypsum pretty rapidly as long as you don't paint it or put up a vapor retarder (avoid poly sheeting like the plague- it is NOT your friend in that climate, especially if you wet-spray.)
Cellulose (and Spider, and Optima) can also be dry-blown behind mesh stapled to the studs, but if you go that route specify "borate only, sulfate free" cellulose, and specify that the insulation has to be rolled flat to the studs after blowing. With dry blown mesh solutions you can and should dense-pack, which increases it's air retardency, but also eliminates settling & compression within the cavity over the decades. (Settling is a function of density, and the degree of normal seasonal humidity cycling, but at 3.2lbs+ it should be good forever in Cleveland. In colder climates like Fargo or Duluth it's better to hold the line at 3.5lbs density.)
If the house is getting new siding, it's worth putting at least an inch of rigid foam on the outside (I thought R13 + R5 foam was the 2012 code-min for northern OH!?!), in which case you don't have to put any sort of vapor retarder on the interior to protect the sheathing from accumulating moisture in winter- standard latex paint would be good enough, and BETTER than using a poly vapor retarder, since it allows the assembly to dry readily toward the interior. It also raises the "whole wall" R value (the average R value with all of the thermal bridging of the framing factored in) by about 50%, since it covers over the thermally bridging studs/plates/joists.
At a fractional area of 20-25% for all framing (typical), an R13 2x4 studwall will average only R10 due to only have ~R3.5 wood over that framing fraction, but putting R5 brings it up to about R15-whole-wall, for a 33% reduction in U-value (heat loss/gain per square foot) compared to the wall without the foam. If you use foil-faced iso (nominally R6 at 1") and design-in at least a 3/4" gap (aka "rainscreen") between the exterior foil and the siding using furring through-screwed to the studs 24" o.c. it'll perform close to R17 (whole-wall) averaged over the season due to the radiant-barrier effect of the exterior foil facing the cavity. This would be more than double the whole-assembly "effective R" of a center-stud bubble pack solution, and nearly double a cellulose or high-density batt only solution.
And that's what I'd do. YMMV.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
Appearance- Pours up an okay amount of head which looks to have pretty good retention. The head is a light and creamy beige/tan while the body is a chestnut brown which shows as a deep burgundy with crimson in the light. Lacing tends toward sheeting at points.
Nose- Starts off very lush with deep, dark fruits. Think plums, raisins, and minor cherries. A hint of bubblegum, maybe cocoa. Some brown bread, molasses, and brown sugar as the base. Some red grapes that make it a little vinous. Candied fruits on the finish. Swirling doesn't add much to the picture.
Taste- Very reflective of the nose and I'm glad that it isn't too far removed from the aroma. Plums, cherries, and raisins on the front which moves into a light and rounded bubblegum and then light cocoa and chocolate. Some woody bitterness to the finish. Not quite as full or complex as the aroma as the malt notes seem lacking in the flavor profile. The woody bitterness that I detected on the finish seems a lot more earthy, grassy, and mineral than it did before. Some chalk to the finish. Very reminiscent of a dubbel both in taste and smell. Some brown sugar and molasses start to appear, along with a slight cinnamon on the finish. Quite vinous but never cloying. The hops on the back end contrast the rounded dark fruits of the front well. In between a good and really good beer for me. There's nothing outstanding about it but it has nice balance and is pretty much flawless.
Mouthfeel- Just south of medium bodied with low carbonation. Feels smooth and has a nice dry finish.
Drinkability- Very accessible and easygoing. Low alcohol in comparison to most of the other old ales out there. This is a slight negative for me. The 4 to 5 bucks that it costs seems reasonable to me.
Overall- Good to really good beer. A little more subtle than many of the old ales I've had but this is to be expected from an English brew. Definitely worth a try to get a sense of the range of the style. Probably would not repurchase though.

Found this baby at a new bottleshop in Noksapyeong, Seoul.
A: Almost black with a nice beige head.
S: Chocolate, caramel and fudge.
T: Reflects the nose. Like a stout with all the sensuality of a dark Belgian. It's sweet but has a dry, tart backbone. Soft fruitiness in the aftertaste, strawberries in particular. Soft liquorice. The beer now at room temperature and nearing the end I'm geting sporadic notes of grass. Also getting some dried fruit tones.
M: Almost flat but has a perfectly silky, soft effervescenve to keep it ticking over. Reminds me of Oatmeal Stout.
O: Very nice. It's flavour is something between porter and barley wine but its mouthfeel is lighter than both.

As I first poured this ale into my pint glass, I was under the impression this was going to be a forgettable beer. I took a swig, and as I set down the glass on the desk, I remember thinking my suspicions were confirmed. The taste started bitter, as you would expect any ale to deliver (a little too bitter, if I am to be honest). But, as I continued working at my desk, my taste buds would not let me forget the lingering bitterness that gave way to a sweet finish. I found myself reaching for the glass, taking another sip. As this deep red ale hit my tongue a second time, I realize that this beer holds a quaint little secret! Once again, I set the glass down on the desk, but, unlike the first time, I have a new respect for this delicious ale. Paying more attention to the flavor this time, I realize that this brew has a creamy, sweet caramel flavor, with a very nice lingering fruity undertone - well balanced with a mild bitterness. By the time I finish the glass, this "forgettable" beer has me craving another. Quite a pleasant surprise, I will not soon be forgetting this premium ale!

Women's Cross Country Prepared for NCAA Region Championships
DAHLONEGA, Ga. – The North Georgia College & State University women's cross country team has one final meet for the 2012 season, and head coach Tom Williams has the women prepared for their toughest test to date.
The Saints are traveling to just outside Charlotte, N.C. where they will compete in the NCAA Division II Southeast Region Championship this Saturday, Nov. 3.
The program is in just its first year of competition since being dropped several years ago, but Williams has brought together a tough team that has continued to get better as the season has progressed.
Led by No. 1 runner and Peach Belt Conference All-Conference Second Team selection Emily Beusse, the Saints have continued to work hard and it has shown as eight runners knocked off time from their 6,000 meter times in the PBC Championships held two weeks ago.

Summary - Researchers at National Jewish Health have discovered that TALL-1, a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF), plays an important role in the modulation of immune responses by costimulating B lymphocyte proliferation. TALL-1 has been crystallized and its 3D structure resolved. In addition, the investigators have isolated a receptor at the surface of B lymphocytes, B cell maturation protein (BCMA), that specifically binds to TALL-1. Various TALL- induced genes have also been identified. Therefore, BCMA, the 3D structure of TALL-1and TALL-1-induced genes can constitute several target routes for the development of treatments against autoimmune diseases.
Potential Applications - Therapy for inflammatory and immune-related diseases.
Advantages of Invention - Novel extracellular targets
State of Development - National Jewish Health scientists have demonstrated the following:
Further R&D Required - The investigators have created a Fc-BCMA mutant that has increased avidity and specificity to B lymphocytes. This is currently being tested in mice models of autoimmune diseases.
Patent Status - U.S. Patents #6,475,987, #7,825,089 and #7,994,115, other U.S. and foreign patents pending covering TALL-1 and its 3D structure, BCMA and homologues, and methods of use. Published U.S. Patent Application #20070015695 and published International Patent Application #WO2003/35846.

To Quilt it… or Coverlet it…?
I had a customer ask me this question today and I'm sure she's not alone; I'm going to try my best to describe the difference but when it comes down to it, it's a personal preference!
What is a Quilt? The dictionary say: A bed cover made by stitching together firmly two layers of cloth or patch work with some soft and warm substance (as wool or cotton) between them.
Quilts like the one above are so beautiful with elegant quilting with beautiful antique inspired designs they are often used as the top layer of your bed. During those cooler months this bedding style would be good combined with an electric blanket as some people prefer that to using the heaver comforters.
In the picture above the Nantucket Quilt is used along with the Nantucket Duvet Cover. Layering your bed like this makes it useable in all weathers, during your warmer months flip your duvet cover back and just use your quilt for a light weight cover. When the nights get colder your layered to keep the heat in and that chill out!
Where did quilts come from? They were usually made from left over scrapes of material sewn together to make a pattern; and that is where we get the term "Patchwork Quilt" . Today these "patchwork" quilts are too beautiful to cover up. What I am seeing is these patchwork quilts being combined with a solid matelasse quilt to add texture and color to the bed.
What is a Coverlet? In the dictionary is say's "Bedspread" In a way that is correct; Bedding by Maine Heritage Weavers (Bates Bedspreads) makes beautiful Matelasse and Candlewick bedspreads along with Coverlet, which is a shorter version of a bedspread. Below is their Martha's Choice inspired by George Washington, he chose the original of this bedspread for his bride.
Another great sample of this is the Bedspread and Coverlets by Ellery Homestyles in their Historic Charleston Collection. Their King Charles collection offers bedspreads, coverlet, bedskirt, shams, and decorative pillows giving to the original meaning of a Coverlet.
I truly feel that was the vision behind the coverlet, just the shorter version of the Bedspread; not everyone wants their bedding to lay on the floor to get caught in the vacuum, kids to step on and pull off the fringes. (I remember all those from when I was younger and my parents had a bedspread very similar to Martha's choice)
I hope you enjoyed my little blog today; To coverlet it… or to quilt it…?
What do you think, do you prefer the Quilts, or do you prefer the Coverlets?
Have a great week.

Cyclones can't hold big lead
CORRYTON — With a 20-point lead at hand, the clock couldn't wind down fast enough for Elizabethton.
Unfortunately for the Cyclones, time stood still for Gibbs.
The Region 2-AA champion Eagles delivered the stone-cold stunner on its home court behind diminutive point guard Aaron Corum, taking advantage of missed opportunities and mistakes by the visitors with a 54-53 comeback victory to advance to the TSSAA Class AA state tournament in Murfreesboro.
"I thought we made a few careless mistakes down the stretch as far as not getting too much into the moment," said Elizabethton coach Lucas Honeycutt. "A lot of times in these games the crowd gets into and you lose your sense of thought. We rushed a few shots when we should've run some clock. It's hard for the kids to hear and they've got to know the situation.
"We played well enough to get it done, but down the stretch we made enough mistake. They came with it on the offensive end."

In the spring of 1978, an energetic marketing man named Gary Thuerk wanted to let people in the technology world know that his company, the Digital Equipment Corporation, was about to introduce a powerful new computer system. DEC operated out of an old wool mill in Maynard, Massachusetts, and was well known on the East Coast, but Thuerk hoped to reach the technological community in California as well. He decided that the best way to do it was through the network of government and university computers then known as the Arpanet. Only a few thousand people used it regularly, but their names were conveniently printed in a single directory. After selecting six hundred West Coast addresses, Thuerk realized that he would never have time to call each one of them, or even to send out hundreds of individual messages. Then another idea occurred to him: what if he simply used the network to dispatch a single e-mail to all of them? "We invite you to come see the 2020 and hear about the DECSystem-20 family,'' the message read. As historic lines go, it didn't have quite the ring of "One small step for a man," yet Gary Thuerk's impact cannot be disputed. When he pushed the send button, he became the father of spam.
The reaction was immediate and almost completely hostile. "This was a flagrant violation of the Arpanet,'' one recipient wrote. Another noted that "advertising of particular products" should be strongly discouraged on the network. The system administrator promised to respond at once, and Thuerk was harshly reprimanded. Nevertheless, his company sold more than twenty of the computer systems, for a million dollars apiece. Thuerk saw no harm in his actions; he and others viewed the network as an emerging symbol of intellectual freedom. Even if unsolicited e-mail became a nuisance, a greater danger would be posed by placing limits on how this powerful new tool could be deployed. "The amount of harm done by any of the cited 'unfair' things the net has been used for is clearly very small,'' the Internet pioneer Richard Stallman wrote a few days after the DEC e-mail. Stallman opposed any action that would interfere with the aggressive openness that came to define the Web. And he still does. In his message about the DEC spam, Stallman pointed out—three decades before the appearance of Craigs-list and Monster.com—that the network provided a unique opportunity to advertise jobs and an entirely new way to sell products. He went even further: "Would a dating service on the net be 'frowned upon' . . . ? I hope not. But even if it is, don't let that stop you from notifying me via net mail if you start one."
I have no idea whether anyone on the Arpanet tried to help Stallman find a date, but thousands of people have tried to help me. In the past few weeks, I have received several e-mails from the Dating Adult Friend line, and several dozen from a site called Adult Friend Finder. In addition, there were fourteen messages from someone calling himself Damian Dominques, who offered, repeatedly, to help me meet "delicious babes." I also received fairly unambiguous invitations for personal interaction from people named Antonia, Heather, Helen, Joyce, Olivia, Kelly, Sally, Sophie, and Sue, among dozens of others.
Wading through dating-service spam is a minor inconvenience compared to dealing with advertisements for products designed to help those dates succeed. I received three hundred and seventeen pieces of mail offering, through surgical, mechanical, and, above all, pharmaceutical means, to help "fatten" my "love muscle," as one of them put it. There were also several hundred solicitations for low- and no-interest car loans, automatic mortgage approvals, sleeping pills, dubious heart medicines, diet aids, gastric bypass surgery, contact lenses, air-conditioning systems, watches, online casinos, laptops, high-definition television sets, bootleg software, and jobs that promised to let me work at home, do practically nothing, and earn millions of dollars. In all, last month my three principal e-mail addresses pulled in 4,321 messages that went straight into various spam folders. Another hundred or so made it to my in-box.
As the Web evolves into an increasingly essential part of American life, the sheer volume of spam grows exponentially every year, and so, it would appear, do the sophisticated methods used to send it. Nearly two million e-mails are dispatched every second, a hundred and seventy-one billion messages a day. Most of those messages have something to sell. Even the most foolish and unsavory advertisements can earn money—in part because the economic bar for success is so low. If somebody wants to send you junk mail the old-fashioned way, through the United States Postal Service, he has to pay for it; the more he sends, the greater the expense. With electronic junk mail, the opposite is true: it costs a pittance to send a million messages—or even a billion—and recipients almost always spend more than the sender. (Assume that someone can unleash a hundred million spams from a twenty-dollar broadband account each month; at those rates, a penny would pay for fifty thousand pieces of mail.)
Spam's growth has been metastatic, both in raw numbers and as a percentage of all mail. In 2001, spam accounted for about five per cent of the traffic on the Internet; by 2004, that figure had risen to more than seventy per cent. This year, in some regions, it has edged above ninety per cent—more than a hundred billion unsolicited messages clogging the arterial passages of the world's computer networks every day. The flow of spam is often seasonal. It slows in the spring, and then, in the month that technology specialists call "black September"—when hundreds of thousands of students return to college, many armed with new computers and access to fast Internet connections—the levels rise sharply.

Very nice quarter-sawn Spruce
I found these billets very useful. They're a good size so there is minimum waste, they machine well (good straight grain) and they're easy to work with hand tools(chisels etc)again because of the good grain and moisture content.
I use mostly Sitka for my bracing and those billets are excellent quality.
Every single piece has enough material to do a lot of work. The wood quality is excellent. And are inexpensive.

AUSTIN -- Austin's economy continues to thrive, said noted economist Ray Perryman.
In his 2013 economic forecast, Perryman said Austin and Texas continue to set the pace. Perryman sited a recent report which listed Austin as the fastest growing city in the nation, followed by Houston and Dallas.
Perryman said Austin remains strong in the technology sectors as well as health care, and is generating a lot of economic momentum with a housing market that is strengthening more quickly than the rest of the nation.
Perryman said because Austin is a great place to live, companies are eager to locate here because they won't have a hard time attracting a skilled workforce. He said it's all part of the reason unemployment levels here have come down significantly.
"At this point the unemployment level has come down a lot all over Texas," said Perryman. "You'll see that pattern continue for the next year or so here, and it will start to get back to what we're accustomed to seeing. We are certainly gaining jobs in this area at a faster rate than what people are coming in, faster than the workforce is growing. That's what you need to have happen in order to bring the unemployment rate down over time."
Perryman said Austin and Texas can't stand alone. He said fiscal concerns in this country as well as abroad can always have a significant impact on the local economies, and thus bear watching.

Even though voters chose last year to raid a state trust fund for $437 million to shore up the state budget, one of the state's economic prognosticators says it will take a bit of luck to make it through fiscal 2013 without running out of money.
Things don't look much better for the 2014 budget — the one lawmakers will begin debating next month.
"You're basically dealing with an impossible situation," said Keivan Deravi, an economist at Auburn University at Montgomery.
Every year, Deravi predicts how much revenue the state will have in the upcoming fiscal year — a prediction he sends to the governor's office, for use in budget calculations.
His numbers are just one piece of a puzzle that's coming together in Montgomery this month, as state agencies begin to put in their budget requests for the 2014 fiscal year. Beginning in February, lawmakers will debate that budget, which will govern the state's spending from October of this year through September 2014.
That process went bust last year, with lawmakers approving a $1.7 billion General Fund budget that included money the state didn't already have in hand. Legislators also approved a constitutional amendment that would take $437 million from the Alabama Trust Fund and add it to the budget, $146 million at a time, for the coming three years. Then lawmakers sat on pins and needles waiting for the amendment to pass.
Even with that money now in hand, Deravi said, paying the bills through the end of 2013 will be a close-run thing.
"The sun, the moon and the stars have to line up just right," he said. "The economic projections have to be very accurate, spending must be under control and taxes have to show some life."
And in 2014, he said, state agencies will surely want more money than in 2013. But it's not clear that more money will be there.
A fixed income
Alabama runs its government on two budgets, and those two budgets lead very different lives.
The Education Trust Fund, which funds the state's schools, gets its money from sales and income taxes. When the economy improves, its fortunes improve. When the economy tanks, it has to scrimp and save — just like an average, working person supporting a family.
The General Fund, which pays for non-education agencies, lives more like a retiree. Much of its money comes from interest on state trust funds, revenues from oil and gas contracts and other sources that, for the most part, aren't directly tied to the performance of the economy. That portfolio doesn't grow much, and when it does grow or shrink, it doesn't do so steadily.
Like many retirees, the General Fund has medical bills. The state's portion of Medicaid, the federal-and-state program that provides medical care for most people below the poverty line, is paid out of the General Fund.
In recent years, the cost of Medicaid has shot up like the price of milk. In 2010, the program cost the state just more than $300 million. In the 2013 budget, the state set aside $603 million for the program. It happened because of the decline of federal stimulus funds and because the post-recession economy has swelled the Medicaid rolls from about 750,000 clients to more than 900,000.
That's the "impossible situation" Deravi mentioned. Medicaid and a growing prison population are things the state has to pay for, but they're paid from a fund Deravi describes as "inelastic."
Gov. Robert Bentley tried to attack the problem last year by appointing a Medicaid Advisory Commission to reform Medicaid with an eye toward trimming costs. State health officer Don Williamson said that whatever reforms are adopted, they aren't likely to save the state money in 2014.
"When we have reforms, they'll be put into place for 2014," he said. "We won't see savings until the next year."
Williamson has already said the reforms won't provide $100 million in annual savings, and could save far less than that. In November, he announced that a change in federal funding rules would add $30 million in unexpected costs to the Medicaid agency in 2014.
Deravi said General Fund revenues for 2014 may be only $40 million to $50 million more than the money available in 2013. A surprise in the Medicaid numbers, he said, could upset the budget-writing process yet again.
"In 2013, the budget is so tight that we cannot even wiggle," he said. "2014 is not going to give you much of a break."
Williamson wouldn't say what Medicaid's total budget request for 2014 would be, saying it's something the agency is discussing with the governor.
Tough time all around
Lots of state officials have been talking to lots of governors about Medicaid lately.
"It's just a tough time all around," said Rachel Morgan, a former Anniston resident who analyzes health policy for the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Morgan said several states have had Medicaid-related budget crises since the recession. Some have tried Medicaid reform to trim costs, she said, but the core of the problem is growth in the number of people who need the program.
"This is probably going to continue until the economy recovers," she said.
Gov. Robert Bentley opted out of a provision in the federal Affordable Care Act that would have expanded Medicaid eligibility to thousands of additional Alabamians. But Morgan said federal law still requires the state to set up a new system for determining eligibility.
Medicaid spokeswoman Robin Rawls said the new system will likely give some Alabama residents — people who are already eligible for Medicaid but don't know it — a chance to find out they're eligible. She said the "woodwork effect," as it's known, would add enrollees to Alabama's system.
Rawls said the agency expected the woodwork effect to cost "less than $10 million" in the 2014 fiscal year.
Budget experts sometimes mention prisons along with Medicaid as a service that states are obligated to provide. Alabama's prison population has doubled in the last 20 years, with a corresponding rise in prison costs. The Star's efforts to reach the Department of Corrections for an estimate of its budget needs in 2014 were unsuccessful.
No cavalry
Williamson agrees that a growing economy would wipe out the Medicaid problem quicker than just about anything.
"If we had as many jobs in in the state as we had in 2007, we'd save $140 million," Williamson said.
Ever since the recession, state leaders have talked wistfully about the notion of a robust economy riding to the rescue. Few really expect that to happen soon.
Ahmad Ijaz, an economist for the University of Alabama's Center for Business and Economic Research, said total state revenues are likely to grow a little less than they did last year.
"At least it's growth," he said. "It's not bad news at all."
But massive numbers of Medicaid patients aren't likely to move out of poverty soon. Ijaz said there are about 1.9 million people working in Alabama today — down from 2.1 million in 2007. The state added about 12,000 jobs in 2012, he said. That's far below the growth rate before the 2008 crash, when Alabama scored 40,000 to 50,000 new jobs per year.
Still, Alabama's new jobs are solid. Ijaz said the car manufacturing sector figured heavily in Alabama's numbers — while many other states are adding part-time or low-wage jobs.
Ijaz said hiring could pick up in 2014, and with luck, the state could be back to 2007 levels of employment by 2016.
For state officials, that could be just in time. The $437 million budget patch approved by voters last year will run out at the end of fiscal 2015. By then, the state will need to either cut costs or find some way to bring in more revenue.
Ijaz is hopeful the economy would grow enough to provide s much of that revenue. But like everyone else, he isn't making promises.
"I'm trying to be optimistic," he said.

Research Statement
|Research Background
|The continued development of artists' interpretation of romanticism through landscape in painting and printmaking has played an important role in our understanding and interpretation of nature and our sense of the sublime. This research continues to add to this rich tradition through the artist's direct response to a variety of chosen landscape sites in a direct en plein air approach to gathering and interpreting visual information.
|Research Contribution
|This painting addresses the question of the direct interpretation of landscape through the stimulus of direct and concentrated observation in contrast to reliance on digital records as tropes for a secondary source of memory. In doing so it arrives at a specific visual process suitable for gathering, reinterpreting and memorising a variety of landscape environments.
|Research Significance
|The significance of this research is that it adds to the rich tradition of gathering and distilling information through en plein air painting in comparison to immediate sensory recording of information through digital media. Its value is attested by the following indicators: Journey through Summer exhibition - Gallery @28, Sydney 2010, and the Kedumba Drawing Award 2011, Residencies at in Alayrac, France in 2009 and 2011, and National Art School Sydney 2011.

I am less than two weeks away from my due date and we are in a predicament. I would really really appreciate hearing your thoughts and your reader's thoughts on this name situation. We have a name we really like and while my husband thinks it's rediculous that I took this name off the list a long time ago because of it's meaning, I am still hesitant and want to know if I would be making a mistake by using it. The name we like is Cora which means "maiden" - this alone is no big deal really. The middle name we planned on using is Marie which means "bitter". Would Cora Marie hate us when she gets older and finds out her name means bitter maiden??? Marie is my middle name and my mom's middle name. We want to use a family name from my side since we did a family name from my husband's side for our son's middle name.
A little background info that might help: my name is Brooke, husband is Bryan and our son is Drew Thomas. Our last name is Fletcher. Our top girl names are Cora, Kate and Audrey.
Cora Marie
Kate Amelia
Audrey Kate
Family names: Marie (my middle and my mom's) Lucille (my grandma's first name), June (my mom's favortie aunt), Kate (way back on both my grandmother and grandfather's side), Rosa (I LOVE Cora Rose, but this would be a stretch and Rosa is way far back in the family tree). I also love Cora Mae - could Mae be a newer version of Marie or am I pulling at strings here???
I am dying to know your thoughts and am completely open to any suggestions other than what have going!!!
Name meanings are fun, but this is where they bite us in the butt.
Historically, people have enjoyed attributing meanings to items. That doesn't mean those meanings are inherent to the items: one community decides a certain flower or certain color or certain gem or certain day of the year means one thing, and another community might decide something completely different. In one culture, white fabric is used for weddings and religious purity; in another, for funerals and mourning. Which of those reflects the true meaning of the color white? Neither: both meanings are imposed upon the color rather than obtained from it. Yellow roses mean "jealousy"---but also "friendship," "apology," and "dying love" (source). Which of those is the REAL meaning? None of them: all such meanings have been tacked onto the object for fun. If someone gives you yellow roses, the most likely message is "Here, have some pretty yellow roses."
It is the same with the name Cora Marie: it doesn't truly MEAN "bitter maiden" unless you intend it to mean that, any more than a yellow rose truly means "jealousy" if you don't intend it to mean that. A yellow rose means only itself: it is a yellow rose. The name Cora Marie means only itself: it is the proper noun Cora, followed by the proper noun Marie. Baby name books don't even agree on the meanings of names; and combining names to make compound meanings creates compound problems: the meaning of one name is not designed to refer to the meaning of another name.
Marie is said to mean bitter because it's similar to the name Mara which, in a Bible story, a character claims means bitter (source). Or maybe Mara means "to flap" or "to be filthy" or "to rebel" (source). In either case, does the possible meaning of a Hebrew word pronounced MAH-rah really impact the meaning of the French name pronounced mah-REE---and to the extent that a child sharing that name with millions of other women throughout history (as well as with her personal family ancestors) would take it as a personal slap in the face from her parents? Is that how you feel about your middle name, or how your mom feels about hers? Do any of us wonder, when we meet a Marie, if she hates her parents for giving her such an insulting name?
Besides, according to the The Oxford Dictionary of First Names, the names Marie, Maria, and Mary are separate from the name Mara and instead all come from the Latin word meaning "sea" (the same root as words such as marine, marina, and mariner). Presumably your daughter will not mind as much being known as a "sea maiden"---or mermaid, if you prefer.
The "maiden" part is also uncertain: according to the same book, the name Cora was invented in the 1800s by a novelist. Did that author imbue the name with a meaning at the moment of its invention? Was a special court convened to divine the true meaning of the name before registering it in the baby name books? No: the Oxford Dictionary speculates that the name "could represent a Latinized form of Greek Kore 'maiden'." Nobody knows what Cora means, because the name Cora doesn't have a meaning---not that this stops the baby name books from reporting one.
By all means, if you enjoy playing with the meanings of names, go ahead and do it: just as it might be fun to have a bouquet of striped and solid carnations seem to say "yes" and "no" at the same time, it could be fun to say a name like Cora Beatrix meant "happy maiden." But letting these imposed meanings stop you from using names you love is another matter. It would be like digging up the hydrangeas you loved because you didn't want your neighbors to think you were frigid.
