UK & World News
A judge has been publicly admonished for suggesting that if a rape victim does not want sexual intercourse, the body "will not permit that to happen".
Judge Derek Johnson, who serves in the California Superior Court, made the comments in a 2008 case, saying the woman involved "didn't put up a fight" during the assault.
"I'm not a gynaecologist, but I can tell you something: If someone doesn't want to have sexual intercourse, the body shuts down," he said.
"The body will not permit that to happen unless a lot of damage is inflicted, and we heard nothing about that in this case."
The attacker had threatened to mutilate the ex-girlfriend with a heated screwdriver and made other violent threats before the ensuing brutal attack.
Judge Johnson also disagreed with the prosecutor's request for a 16-year jail term.
He sentenced the rapist to six years instead, saying that was what the case was "worth".
The California Commission on Judicial Performance voted 10-0 to impose the public admonishment on Thursday, saying the comments were inappropriate.
It found that the judge's view that a woman must resist to be a real victim of sexual assault was his opinion, not the law.
Since 1980, California law has not required rape victims to prove they resisted or were prevented from resisting because of threats.
In an apology to the commission, Judge Johnson agreed his comments were inappropriate.
He explained they were the result of his frustration during the argument with the prosecutor over the defendant's sentence.

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin. The book set off what has been at times a ferocious argument concerning the validity and scope of his theories. A new book by Stephen C. Meyer, Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design, is not about the transmutation of species over time. Rather, it is about a much older controversy that has extended for thousands of years concerning the origin of life, something that Darwin did not really address in his book.
As we begin moving toward the holiday season, we anticipate good things coming to theaters near us. That also means conversations here at Spectrum about the films we're watching and the topics they cover.
Speaking of topics, Michael Moore's latest documentary hit the silver screen this weekend. "Capitalism: A Love Story" takes a critical look at economic policy in the United States and where America's economic policies have taken us.
Inspiring books take us on moving, mind-expanding journeys, and Samir Selmanovic's book It's Really All About God: Reflections of a Muslim Atheist Jewish Christian is no exception. Samir invites us to travel and broaden our horizons on multiple levels: temporally, spatially, and especially spiritually. Through personal stories we are drawn forward toward the promise of a better future, catching glimpses of Samir's life from childhood through the present. The narrative transports us from small town Eastern Europe to big city USA and from sea to shining sea.
This movie could be called a dark comedy, but it evades capture by any known genre; it runs the gamut of emotions as demonstrated by protagonist Mark Whitacre, whom Matt Damon plays most convincingly. Based on a true story, it illustrates what can occur to whistle-blowers when confronted with the overwhelming power of both global corporations and the U.S. government.
I detest you, I pity you, I …need you?
Alien invasion makes for absorbing, sometimes terrifying stories. Aliens are creepy. They're unpredictable. And they are almost always hostile. In good alien films, the kind we're used to, extra-terrestrial assaults threaten humanity with captivity, even annihilation. Think Independence Day or War of the Worlds.
What if the story were reversed? What if the aliens were threatened with captivity and ruin at the hands of humankind?
Since that fateful day on September 11, 2001, significant news reporting has been dedicated to the Middle East and Islam. Such media attention is to be expected, for the old advertiser's adage "If it bleeds, it leads" still rules news cycles. President Obama's recent speech in Cairo is a case in point; it had to compete for coverage with a contemporaneous suicide bombing in rural Pakistan — as if those two events were of equally historic significance.
"I could write a blog. I have thoughts"
The premise? This tasty movie parallels the lives of famous cook, Julia Child, and a wanna-be blogger, Julie Powell, chronologically alternating between their two stories.
You can also read Spectrum's interview with author Alden Thompson.
Earlier today, I heard a sermon entitled "Trust and Obey," encouraging us to trust in God more than we trust in others, indeed more than we trust in ourselves. We were left with the assurance that if we trust in God, everything will work out.

OCZ Neural Impulse Actuator On Linux?
Published on 17 March 2008 08:06 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
3 Comments
Earlier this month at CeBIT,
OCZ Technology
had announced its Neural Impulse Actuator (NIA) entered mass production (
press release
). OCZ's Neural Impulse Actuator is the first Brain Computer Interface (BCI) designed for gamers on the consumer market. The NIA band is worn around the head and is able to convert electroencephalograph signals into keystrokes/mouse clicks and connects via USB 2.0. The Neural Impulse Actuator was first covered on Phoronix during
Computex Taipei 2007
. While the NIA is solely marketed for gamers, it's been reported that with some training this "neural-controlled mouse" can be used for basic desktop usage as well.
With the OCZ Neural Impulse Actuator now in mass production, we checked with OCZ Technology to see whether they intend to support this first product of its kind on Linux. Lisa Gregersen, an OCZ marketing representative, has informed us that porting their NIA driver and software to Linux isn't on their immediate road-map right now, but it may come in the future. As this product is heavily weighted for gamers, OCZ may consider adding the Linux support once the
Linux gaming
market has grown. However, that's not to say the Linux community won't come up with their own NIA driver or cleanly reverse-engineer the Windows OCZ software. When we hear any other information regarding the OCZ NIA and Linux, we'll be sure to pass it along. By the time there is hopefully the official Linux support, the Neural Impulse Actuator may drop in price too (right now its price-tag is ~$300 USD).

|Packers' Harlan to delay retirement as CEO
|Written by Admin
|Saturday, 26 May 2007 10:22
Jones, president and chief operating officer, was to have taken over for Harlan next week. The Packers did not elaborate on the reasons Saturday. Jones had open-heart surgery in June 2006.
``It's been a very difficult year but also a wonderful year in many respects,'' Jones said. ``I need to step back and recharge my batteries.''
Peter Platten, speaking on behalf of the team's executive committee, said it would be ``mutually beneficial for John to take a leave of absence while we continue our evaluation of the situation and collectively determine next steps.''
Harlan was supposed to have stepped down as CEO but remain board chairman.
``We are pleased that Bob has agreed to provide leadership continuity for the organization,'' Platten said. ``The executive committee has tremendous confidence in Bob and his capable staff.''

I'm pleased to have made it through a stressful, chopped up, interruption-filled work week. This morning I was feeling a bit sorry for myself driving to work, but gave myself a good talking to as I drove, and by the time I was through the first meeting and a break walk, I was pretty much OK again.
I met my line in the sand obligations for the day, and I ended the work week with at least one positive note: got something working after the choppy week that *should* have only taken about four hours of uninterrupted time. Ever have a week like that?
My brother talks about "Pointy hair" activities at work. Well both of my meetings today would fall into that category: things you do because you must because that's the way they are done at your organization, even though you have other urgent "real" work to do. If you don't know where the phrase comes from, you don't read Dilbert. I'm usually fairly tolerant of these kinds of thing... it's the reality of my working world. However, this past three weeks, since I got back from Florida, I have been simmering my way to a boil, and as I told one colleague, "if I were a tea-kettle, at this point I would be whistling, loudly!"
Anyway, I didn't get done what I *most wanted* to or *hoped* to get done this work week, but I got *something* done that also needed to be done. I therefore will declare victory for the week and get on with my life!
You can see how dealing with feelings was important this week, right?
So, on to anticipation of the Day itself, of Christmas. Here's the deal: I will most likely be alone that day. That's part of the feeling sorry for myself. It's more than being physically alone, though. I'm working on it, Spark friends, really I am. Self-pity is not a pretty feeling, but you know what? I'm staring it in the face and accepting that it has presented itself to me. Doesn't mean I have to act out based on it. I will treat myself gently in ways that don't involve overeating!
I will wrap a gift or two to myself to open on the day. I will make a nice, portion controlled meal for dinner, featuring things I really like. I will sneak into a church service. I will fill my house with music and candlelight. And I will find something to do that will help someone less fortunate. Because nothing says Christmas like giving.
It will be a good Christmas, kept in the spirit as it should be.
I have started today's blog twice, and thrown it in the bit-bucket! Some days it just doesn't flow... so starting with a blank blog-page, I dive in and start letting the fingers do their thing. If it's "OK" and starts to flow, I keep it. If not, out it goes.
Today I started writing about anticipation... trying in my mind to tie together the expectation of advent to the expectation of my son's return... it just didn't flow. When I tried to tie it back to feelings of a year ago (when my program was really slip-sliding) and this year (when it's doing pretty great, to be honest)... it wasn't working.
One might ask WHY the analogy wasn't working for me. Here's the deal: I am an emotional eater. A year ago, I was feeding anxiety over my son's impending departure. I managed to get myself in hand and use my participation in events (11 in all in 2012) and training for them to "run away" instead of feeding those feelings.
Now, the anticipation I am feeling is less of anxiety (OK, there is that little bit of "don't let your guard down yet, he's not home yet")... more of anticipation of joyful reunion. In the past, I've been known to feed emotions that are thought of as pleasant (joy, happiness, celebration) as much as the ones thought of as unpleasant (grief, sadness, anger, fear).
In short... it used to be that I'd use *any* emotion as a reason to eat. Excessively. Habitually. Unconsciously.
And the bottom line is: it doesn't MATTER which feelings I'm feeling. What matters is what I *do* about them! Do I look them in the face and say, "I know you, you are _____?" Do I sit with them, ask them where they came from, question their validity... savor them... and wait for them to pass? Do I run away from them? Or do I feed them?
Actions can in fact result in the feelings fading. Sitting with them can result in a resolution, where they become less intense. Acknowledging them as valid or reasoning them away, can give them the freedom to resume a proper place in the puzzle that is my mind.
Today resolution: I shall focus on feelings, and on what I am *doing* with the ones that present themselves to me. I shall not "feed" them excessively. Because life is more than feelings. And it is good.
Spark on!
An additional "key element" dawned on me after the Holiday luncheon yesterday. Besides all that self talk? Choose who you are going to sit with to support your success.
I recognize that this is not always possible... but yesterday I sat around others who were also pursuing a healthy lifestyle. All of us were following the principle of carefully selecting the indulgences. I chose a corn casserole, as I had not spotted any bread stuffing (my favorite, which I had promised myself a half cup of). It turned out to be a great choice, it was really good, and it was portion controlled.
I also allowed myself a half slice of traditional pumpkin pie, since I didn't have my traditional Thanksgiving dinner. And savored every bite, mind you! It was excellent. Other than that, roast turkey is pretty healthy as it is. And the salad I really filled up on? Pretty normal noontime fare for me.
In the end, it was well handled, and I wasn't overfilled... so was able to hop on the treadmill in the evening and put in my 5.4 miles. I started slow, a full 9 minute warm up (5 minutes walking, then two rounds of 1 minute slow jog, 1 minute walk) before settling into the speed work of the evening. My top speed was "crossing the finish line" sprint the tenth of a mile from 4.9 to 5 miles. At 7 mph, according to the TM.
Stretch, showered, slept really well. And this morning... up and at 'em and monitoring for any adverse reaction... which will become really important about Saturday noonish.
Life is good. Spark on!
You would think that in the third year of maintenance, social eating would no longer be a careful planning thing, but rather dusting off plans that have worked in the past. That may be true sometimes, but not always for me.
You see, it isn't just about what I choose at the meal. It's about how I respond/react internally to comments others might make (criticizing how little I choose to eat, for example... this really happens, people!) It's about managing my own feelings related to the event and the offerings there. It's about my self-talk following the event, and what I choose to do in the hours, days and week beyond it.
Part of this is physiological: recognizing that there are certain foods / ingredients that will flat out trigger me. Some of these I *can* indulge in small portions of, only to find myself binging LATER. Therefore, knowing which things these are, and making the conscious choice that it's easier/better just not to start... and then feeling GOOD, not deprived about that choice. This is where the self-talk part comes in.
Self-talk before: honesty about the risks.
Self-talk during: I am making this choice for me, not for others.
Self-talk after: past is past, now is what counts, live in the now.
Reminder to self: *nothing* tastes as good as fit feels.
Discipline is remembering what I really want, not just for Christmas, but for the rest of my life.
Yesterday I got a visit from one of my younger sisters. She needed to borrow a double boiler for some of her holiday goodie-making, and I was happy to oblige.
It was a brief visit, in which I got caught up on how the family Thanksgiving went. It went about as such events do... we shared a giggle or two over people we love being who they are. For those of you who don't get the family clues around here... I grew up amid the Big Bang Theory gang... part of my family do not get the irony of their decision *not* to watch the show because "the math is OK, the science is off". The point is, many of them ARE the characters.
(MOBYCARP, you are Sheldon, in case you didn't know or have never watched it! I would be willing to bet that at least some would cast me as Leonard's mother.)
Anyway, that aside... the point of this little reminder to myself is about how far I have come. My sis mentioned that she and her family were going through old photographs, and her daughter looked at one and asked, "Is THAT Barbie?" Gasp. She *does not remember me in my heavy, unfit state*! She was in this photo with me, my "really, really before" shot I keep in my gallery. She was the little girl to my right.
That has to be a sign of long-term effort, does it not? The year following that photograph (I believe it was Christmas 2005) I went on "the guy diet" with my son, which basically is putting oneself in training. An injury a year and a half later resulted in a regain, but I have since enjoyed considerable success in getting back to the fit me I most enjoy! But that this important young person in my life doesn't even identify me as someone who "used to be" heavy is an incredible boost to my morale.
Something is working. And despite the bumps and mountains, life is good. Spark on!

Computer Voting Needs To GoSubmitted by gsneil on Wed, 04/25/2012 - 08:39
How do we get the computers out of the process? Does anyone know if a movement for this is underway ANYWHERE? There is NO WAY now for us to ensure the integrity of our elections with the computers in the mix.
Just watch this 10 minute testimony before Congress...maddening! They steal from us everything! Our money, our jobs, our private land, our VOTEs.
- Login to post comments
We are the GOP and We want Computer Voting...
This is how we work to get the person elected whom we want...not you little people/ We are the rulers. We pick for you for hyour own good.
Look what would happen should we allow your right to vote to go unchecked...you would vote for someone who would attempt to bring us rulers down. We got the money, we got the mass media in our pocket and we got the industry that makes computers...
Now go away and mind your own business and stay the heck out of ours.
fearless brave joyful peaceful loving grateful, compassionate
I have better odds on the roulette wheel
At the Bilagio......
For Freedom!
The World is my country, all mankind is my brethren, to do good is my religion.
Yes true...
...but unless the people get active, it will not happen. The same old cheating fraud and vote rigging will continue unabated because the corruption is too far out of control. Most people refuse to wake up and stop it.
It's as simple as either
It's as simple as either getting rid of computer voting all the way or having all the votes be counted twice. If voting dispute, advantage to the paper ballots.
I had an interesting experience yesterday voting in Pa.
I proceeded through my candidates and came upon one listing candidates for the Republican committee in the county. One was listed and I selected it but as I attempted to cast the ballot it forced me back and instructed me to pick two. Only one was listed so I wrote in my own name. As I attempted to cast the ballot it again kicked me back to the same candidates. After three attempts, and after which I removed my write in, another persons name appeared on the ballot. I then selected the two names and it still took me two times to be able to cast my ballot. Seemed rather strange at the time.
Update...just communicated with another person working to promote Paul delegates and he encountered the same issue.
There are no politicians or bankers in foxholes.
Make the Software Open Source
I made a post on this a while ago but it didnt get much feedback. The idea is to make the insides of the system public; so if anyone tries to sneak a vote-flipping algorithmen inside, it can and will be detected.
So how can you prove that the CPU has no backdoor?
Or how about the motherboard or plugin hardware?
Or the software bios?
Or that some unknown hardware or software flaw can be hacked?
There are only 2000 voters per precinct. How hard can it be to find a dozen people to count to 2000 honestly and trasnparently?
If the machine cheats, who get hung?
Free includes debt-free!
Of course you can rig
Of course you can rig anything, even paper counting (magic trick anyone?). I also prefer paper voting and hand counting over any electronic interference - it is much harder to cheat if everybody understands how the vote is counted.
However, if you need computer voting, use a system at least some people with programming skills can check instead of using a black box system.
You can't
...but you also can't prove a human being has integrity. Although it is wise to do everything you can to make cheating impossible, it is perhaps even wiser to do everything you can to make the detection of said cheating simple and obvious.
We will never cure cheaters of the desire to cheat, and it is arguably impossible to create a system in which it is impossible to cheat. The most effective tool is the legitimate threat of instant exposure and punishment if cheating is detected. If the risk of getting caught is very high and the punishment is severe, the willingness to attempt it will drop.
Publicize everything: the hardware, the software, database, storage methods, data validation algorithms, hash generation algorithms. Publish everything necessary for any interested person to take the raw vote info (election [x], candidate [y], date [z], etc.) to generate on their own the data that should be the same as their logged vote, and the ability to retrieve any vote by a unique vote ID (not associated with a voter ID, to guarantee anonymity).
If their manually calculated vote info doesn't match the receipt, report fraud.
If their receipt doesn't match the remote logged vote info, report fraud.
Not everyone will validate their vote, but certainly a large enough portion of people will to statistically identify likely fraud.
Yes, people cheat.
Make cheating a capital offense. It would raise the cost of hiring cheaters.
Machines can only count votes, only people can make a vote count.
What's the chain of custody once I make my choice. Tough question.
Right now government pretends to own the fruits of our labors and we "vote" for men who support our taxation.
Maybe we should put the Federal Government on the PBS plan. If I approve of their programming and policies, I can sent a donation or make a gift to the the government. [Gold and silver Coin only please, it's the Government's law.]
The job of Congress is to create and keep funded a government constrained by the Constitution. Ultimately, We the people would vote our support with our coined Money.
I bet they won't lose our votes then!
Donations by district would be transparent, as well the monthly spending by the Congress, the Executive and the Judiciary.
A "Cash and Carry" government with only the taxation allowed before the 16th Amendment.
Then I might be motivated to get a job, when I don't have to fund this government's atrocities.
Just thinking out loud. Ever since the Helping America Vote Act of 2002 was passed (ominous title). Voting was controlled by a monopoly power, the EAC. Politicians themselves have no motivation to change the Voting systems that elected them, and precincts are not under the central authority of the EAC.
We need to strike at the root, and contest the voting process at the precinct level, moving up the chain as needed. Make voting systems a market process, or roll your own, by precinct.
We have marked paper ballots read by a die-bold scanner. I don't know if the votes are hand counted or not, unless a challenge is made.

" In Thee O Lord do I put my trust " ~ Psalm 31:1~
Me, too, but nothing is
Me, too, but nothing is happening, and they have delayed it so this election will not count, either..
well as long as no
accidents (like a powerful magnet right next to the diabold machine a day or two before the election) happens, diabold will continue to have accurate and correct voting. Although if for some reason someone were to accidentally damage the accurate and correct voting machines then they would have to switch to paper ballet. So we should do our best to keep away these http://catalog.apwcompany.com/category/electromagnets?gclid=... which could easily be forgotten about in our pocket due to small size and could totally corrupt the machine if one was to get your magnet to close to the fair and accurate machine.
So in short to ensure that the machines are in good working order, do not carry any small but but very powerful magnets in your pocket because they could totally and completly make the machine useless for voting. Especially for those of you that get there before the voting starts.
Have you tried this on a computer?
Free includes debt-free!
it will erase any memory on a hard drive
assuming its powerful enough (if its an electromagnet that is almost guaranteed) and possible make the hard drive unusable, and depending on the screen it could completely mess it up (I know a couple of kids who were kicked out of an arcade permanently for messing up their screen with a regular fridge magnet, I would kinda be curious as to what powerful magnets would do). Of course this depends on if you get it close enough to the hard drive or screen. Furthermore you can easily mess up a mother board with static electricity (I completely ruined one accidentally like that once), and a powerful magnet can easily do more than static electricity.
So keep the powerful magnets away as they could easily mess up the computer systems.
Note the military largely uses much more expensive systems that are impervious to this, but I doubt diabold does.

Black Box Voting Org...
Black Box Voting is the oldest/largest/most respected election fraud group around. Started by Bev Harris. They crusade against voting machines.
~wobbles but doesn't fall down~
Yes, I learned all about them
Yes, I learned all about them after 2008. They are fighting the good fight, but they are not getting very far very fast. I'm thinking grass-roots level -- city council, county, district stuff. Paper ballots and a big friggin' clear plexiglass box that can only fit in one folded ballot at a time. Anyone allowed to watch the entire process, count people entering, count people exiting. Then a public counting of each vote with a document camera and a projector.
Electronic voting isn't inherently flawed by itself
I have to play devil's advocate here. The usage of electronic systems, computers, networks, etc. to expedite and simplify the whole voting process is not a bad thing. It's just the implementation we have right now that is so absolutely ridiculous. I discuss how it could be done much better here:
In short, we have the technology to make it much faster, more immediately transparent, and as verifiable as it could ever be using a non-electronic system already. It just hasn't been done. The biggest improvement would be to maintain a multi-copy paper trail AND a mirrored electronic database, anonymized but public so that all competing parties could constantly keep an eye on it.
It is impossible to guarantee that no fraud can occur, electronic or not. However, it seems to me that an electronic system can actually make fraud much easier to identify quickly--and therefore discourage--if the system is built the right way.
What's the hurry.
They don't take office for months?
Free includes debt-free!
It is IMPOSSIBLE...
to validate the output of a digital system without knowing the input (and vice versa). Any system that contains black boxes is inherently flawed as a transparent voting system.
Every step of the process must be witnessed by representatives from all the parties. Digital systems are complex black box systems and fail the requirement of even the possibility of transparency.
Besides, computer voting is EXTRAVAGANTLY more expensive than paper voting...
~wobbles but doesn't fall down~
What does the system need to do.
Then we can look at what glass/grey/black boxes are needed to produce the desired result.
input - anonymous but verifiable vote.
output - secret and untraceable ballot.
input - secret and untraceable ballot.
output - aggregate anonymous but verifiable votes and count.
input - challenge by anonymous voter.
output - verification vote properly aggregated.
An option for those who skip the secret ballot and make it public by exposing an unverified vote in the aggregate.
Free includes debt-free!
Not a black box
If the hardware design is open, the software is open, and the vote hash algorithms are public, that hardly constitutes a black box. This is what I mean about a ridiculous implementation. Yes, a black box is a very bad idea. That's why you make it transparent. The problem is not the automation; it is the opacity of the process. Open-source everything and the transparency problem is solved.
I write code for a living and design and build open hardware for a hobby. It doesn't have to be complex; anyone with a working knowledge of the basic platforms used (read: a lot of people) could fully comprehend and explain it.
Did you see the steps I outlined in the above linked DP post to address these issues?
Black boxes...
"In science and engineering, a black box is a device, system or object which can be viewed solely in terms of its input, output and transfer characteristics without any knowledge of its internal workings, that is, its implementation is "opaque" (black)."
The "black box" I was referring to was the internal workings of a voting machine with respect to input and output. The essence of a black box is not just opaqueness but replacability with another box with different internals.
Load up any computing device with open source software, and as long as the device has the means to load and offload code and data then I can replace your open source code with mine, do my dirty work, leave no trace, reinstall your open source code, done.
Please explain the theory or mechanism on how "open source" code protects anything. If you validate that the proper software is installed prior to elections how to do you verify it when the voting starts? The current machines have several I/O interfaces and some even have wifi!!
Is the output of the code you write in any sense mission-critical or process-critical (things will break and people will lose money if any of the outputted data is wrong)? If so, how do you validate your output with respect to input?
I stand by my original assertion --> "It is impossible to validate the output of a digital system without knowing the input". And just because you can look at some code with your eyes and can verify that it is installed on a voting machine does not mean that that malicious code cannot be installed, even for just a few moments, and have it do its dirty work while leaving no traces. Especially since these voting machines are replete with various industry standard I/O devices.
I have a friend who has the contract for the maintenance of voting machines for two counties. He regularly on schedule goes to the warehouses ($$$climate-controlled$$$), runs diagnostics and, UPDATES THE MACHINES WITH DATACARDS and he does all this ALONE with no third party representatives present.
BTW, I have degree in computer engineering technology and did UNIX client-server development for nearly 20 years. I "retired" a few years ago because of my profound distaste for java(mostly on windoze :( ) and that I moved way out in the country. :)
~wobbles but doesn't fall down~
Fair points
Theoretically, the hardware and software designs don't have to be open, as long as everyone can verify what the specified output should be based on any given input. It is better to keep everything open for the sake of transparency. If your closed-source implementation is better than my open one, but the results are the same, then it doesn't matter, from a practical standpoint.
The "openness" of the system would include complete documentation of exactly what is meant to come out of the system based on any given input, not just that the code happens to be published. Therefore, if you did swap out good code for dirty code to effect some nefarious outcome, it would be extremely easy to identify, because the logged vote info would not match the prescribed result based on known input data.
For a simple example, let's say this is the system:
- Timestamp = UNIX time of cast vote
- Voter ID = Unique random ID generated upon polling place arrival, one per voter but not associated with any personal info
- Election ID = Unique ID for election (e.g. GOP Primary, etc.)
- Vote ID = Unique ID for vote (e.g. President, 6th District Representative, etc.)
- Vote Option = actual choice (Ron Paul, Karen Kwiatkowski, etc.)
- Vote hash = SHA1(Timestamp + Voter ID + Election ID + Vote ID + Vote Option)
All of these bits of data would be printed clearly on multiple copies of a receipt, 1 or more for you, 1 or more for the polling staff. They would also all be stored exactly as-is in the internal database of the machine, as well as sent to the public mirrored database.
The first step of validation is for the voter to look at the printed receipt, which should match their vote and also the summary shown on the machine. If it doesn't match their vote, there is obviously a problem. If the machine summary and the paper version don't match, there is obviously a problem. If everything appears correct (minus the SHA1 hash, which can't be calculated by hand simply), then continue.
The second step is to validate the vote hash. Ideally this could be done on the spot with a separate machine or, better, a trusted personal device such as a smartphone. Enter the info, compute the hash, and bam! Instant validation. If the personally computed hash doesn't match the machine-computed hash, there's another obvious problem. This step could also be done at home with EXTREMELY simple open software for any platform, if no smartphone is available.
The third step is to validate the remote recorded vote with the known good paper copy. This is where the mirrored public database is required. Since all votes are recorded anonymously, making this info public is not a problem. Anyone at all should have full read access to the entire database. You can enter your vote ID and verify that all recorded info, including the hash, matches exactly with your receipt.
By this point, it really doesn't matter who wrote whatever software is running on the machines or whether it's open or not. The input is known, and the output has been validated to follow a known, simple, public specification. Anyone can access a real-time result count at any time. There is really no room for fraud unless everybody intentionally ignores every single safeguard.
On top of that all, there is also a paper trail if a manual count is necessary.
if you are handing out pieces of paper to voters as records of their vote why not just stop there and skip the whole computer part and just add proper exit polling (with cameras). :P
You said:
"Therefore, if you did swap out good code for dirty code to effect some nefarious outcome, it would be extremely easy to identify, because the logged vote info would not match the prescribed result based on known input data."
What known input data? The voting record receipts given to voters? (the only trustable source of votes). Without these peices of paper I see no way to validate the computer vote. The internal database is completely unreliable. Especially SQL db's.
Also, in your hypothetical you are claiming the computer database is the "known input data"? The only way that would "work" is if you were validating the paper trail against the electronic database. :\ The goal here is to validate the database against the voter paper trail.
In a computerized system where you receive a paper record as "proof" the only way those would be called into play is if it is taken to court and a judge orders a recount and that is NOT happening nowdays no matter how much people are screaming and pointing out evidence of fraud.
Also, at the end of the day, paper voting is MUCH cheaper than voting machines. Voting machines have to be stored in climate-controlled warehouses and with frequent diagnostics and maintenance. With paper you just call the printing press in time enough for the election and you need to round up some boxes to store paper ballots. Basically the same amount of staff, and surprisingly, from what I've been seeing they end doinnearly the same amount of hand counting.
~wobbles but doesn't fall down~
Receipts are the known input data, yes
And that's what the database is validated against, yes. That's the whole idea. Say 1% of the people who participate in any given election bother to validate their recorded vote against their receipt. In a general presidential election with 50 million people who actually vote, that means 500k people are going to validate their recorded vote against their receipt. That is a HUGE sample and should provide plenty enough evidence to suggest tampering, if it exists.
There is definitely no way to validate the computer database without a paper trail, true. That's where we are right now. Computerized voting, no receipts. Obviously bad.
But we shouldn't skip the computer part because, if done right, a computerized system still makes it much easier to detect fraud AND it provides instant results. Fraud that occurs at the polling place would show up on the receipt and be immediately identified by any attentive voter. Fraud that occurs after the fact by manipulating the database would be easily identified by that 1% sample of concerned voters. I'd think should be enough to bring about an official investigation and/or recount.

Alas, such leaders are rare in the developing world, where often institutions are weak and greed and corruption are strong, where responsible leadership, therefore, … Read entire article »

Sony Classical Releases 2013 New Year's Concert With The Vienna Philharmonic and Franz Welser-Most
Sony Classical announces the release of the recording of one of the world's most famous classical music events: the 2013 New Year's Concert with the Vienna Philharmonic. Austrian conductor Franz Welser-Most returned to direct the 2013 concert following the success of his debut in 2011. On January 4, 2013, the live recording will be available exclusively at Arkiv Music and via Amazon.com's CreateSpace's Disc on Demand service and as a download through all major digital service providers. The CD will be released nationwide on January 22. The DVD and Blu-ray will be available on February 5.
The New Year's Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic is firmly established as one of the longest-standing and most prestigious music events worldwide. In its history of more than seven decades, the orchestra has been led by many of the most famous conductors and experienced by millions of people via TV broadcasts in over 70 countries.
As Clemens Hellsberg, the chairman of the Vienna Philharmonic, emphasized, the plaudits that Franz Welser-Most earned for this event in 2011 and his close association with the musical life of Vienna as General Musical Director of the State Opera made him a natural choice for the role in 2013.
For Decades the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra has presented from Vienna's Musikverein an entertaining and heartfelt annual program of music from the wide repertoire of the Strauss dynasty and their contemporaries. The proven formula blends well-known classics with premieres of works that have never been performed before at the New Year's Concert and the result is invariably both joyful and moving. This year's repertoire included 11 premieres (more than ever before) and also pays tribute to Wagner and Verdi in advance of their 2013 anniversaries.
For ten years Welser-Most has been musical director of the Cleveland Orchestra, with whom he has built close relationships with Carnegie Hall in New York, the Musikverein in Vienna and the Lucerne Festival and presented Eleven world and fourteen United States premieres. In recent seasons his fully-staged productions of the Mozart/Da Ponte operas have re-established The Cleveland Orchestra as an operatic ensemble.
For all his international connections, Welser-Most is an Austrian, who has delighted audiences of the Vienna State Opera with extremely well-received interpretations of the Wagnerian repertoire, among other highlights, and has a special personal connection with the music of the Strauss family: one of his great grandmothers was a daughter of the owner family of Vienna's old-established Cafe Dommayer, where many works by the Strauss dynasty and Josef Lanner were premiered.
The tradition of the Vienna Philharmonic goes back to 1842, when Otto Nicolai conducted a Grand Concert with all members of the imperial "Hof-Operntheater". This event was originally called "Philharmonic Academy" and is regarded as the origin of the orchestra. Since its founding the orchestra is managed by the administrative committee - a democratically elected body - and works artistically, organizationally and financially autonomous. All decisions are reached on a democratic basis during the general meeting of all members.
