Dear Lazyweb,
is there any Free Software utility for putting those nice logos/images on LightScribe CDs or DVDs? I'm considering buying such a CD/DVD burner, but only if there's open-source software to control the device. I guess burning CDs/DVDs should be no problem using wodim/cdrecord, but adding images as labels on the CD/DVD is likely not possible without special software.
I know about the LightScribe Linux software (which is binary-only and not open-source, it seems) and LaCie LightScribe Labeler for Linux (which only creates labels but does not write them to the CD/DVD, and is not open-source either, I think).
Anyone aware of a Free Software utility for this? Or at least a public specification/datasheet which could be used for creating one? I might even be willing to join development if datasheets are available.
I recently stumbled over a neat new Open Hardware and Free Software friendly company — Qi Hardware — founded by former OpenMoko developers.
To quote from the website:
Qi Hardware, founded on the belief in open hardware, produces mass market quality hardware applying free software principles to consumer electronics. The three fundamental elements in our development are copyleft hardware, upstream kernels and community driven software.
They have put up a timeline for upcoming products, where the 本 NanoNote™ (Ben NanoNote™) — a fully open multifunction ultra small form factor computing device — is the first entry product that is supposed to ship in fall 2009.
The Ben NanoNote is based on an Ingenic SoC (336 MHz XBurst Jz4720 MIPS-compatible CPU) with 3.0" color TFT (320x240), 2GB NAND flash, 32 MB SDRAM, SDHC microSD, micro-USB 2.0. The whole device, including the 850mAh Li-ion battery, weighs only 126g. Detailed specs are available.
Their currently planned setup includes a Linux kernel, u-boot, and OpenWRT as software basis. Personally, I'd like to see a stock Debian running on the hardware sooner or later, of course. The 2GB of flash and 32MB of RAM should be fine for a small Debian system (for instance, my NSLU2 runs off a 1GB thumb drive and has 32MB RAM, and is still very useful).
The code is all GPL'd and available from various git repos, hardware will be CC-BY-SA 3.0 licensed, and they try to use Free Software design and development tools also, including KiCAD for schematics and PCB layout, and probably HeeksCAD as CAD tool for mechanical stuff.
I'm really tired of seeing more and more self-proclaimed "Open Hardware" projects that often don't even mention any license for their schematics and PCBs, or use crappy, self-invented "open" licenses that are not even remotely open in any way. Probably even worse, many hardware related projects use closed-source, proprietary electronic design tools such as EAGLE or OrCAD, thereby ruining the whole project from the beginning by forcing everyone who likes to contribute or adapt the hardware to use non-free software. That's why I was really happy to see the Qi people thrive to use open tools from the beginning! I hope to see more hardware projects use KiCAD or gEDA/PCB for their designs in future...
Mailman archives are often only available in the pretty useless "Gzip'd Text" format, which you cannot easily download and view locally (and threaded) in a MUA such as mutt. But that is exactly what I want to do from time to time (e.g. because I want to read the discussions of the past weeks on mailing lists where I'm newly subscribed).
After some searching I found one way to do it which I stripped down to my needs:
$ cat mailman2mbox #!/usr/bin/perl while (<STDIN>) { s/^(From:? .*) (at|en) /\1\@/; s/^Date: ([A-Z][a-z][a-z]) +([A-Z][a-z][a-z]) +([0-9]+) +([0-9:]+) +([0-9]+)/Date: \1, \3 \2 \5 \4 +0000/; print; }
Example run on some random mail archive:
$ wget http://participatoryculture.org/pipermail/develop/2009-August.txt.gz $ gunzip 2009-August.txt.gz $ ./mailman2mbox < 2009-August.txt > 2009-August.mbox
You can then view the mbox as usual in mutt:
$ mutt -f 2009-August.mbox
Suggestions for a simpler method to do this are highly welcome. Maybe some mbox related Debian package already ships with a script to do this?

Good news for kernel hackers, and especially coreboot developers like me: AMD has released the chipset documentation for the RS780 chipset, including the BIOS Developer's Guide. And these documents are being released freely and openly to the public, no NDAs required, which is great!
Quoting from the original announcement on the coreboot-announce mailing list:
The coreboot community, which includes government organizations, corporations, research labs and individuals from around the world, is very excited to expand on our existing and decade-long collaboration with AMD. This collaboration has, over the years, resulted in the inclusion of coreboot into everything from some of the largest AMD-based supercomputers in the world to some of the smallest embedded systems.
Together with the recent SB700/SB710/SB750 documentation release, the Developer Guide release for the RS780 family of Integrated Chipset/Graphics Processors enables the coreboot community to support any board with AMD chipsets out there, from embedded to enthusiast desktop and high-end server boards.
This new release once again demonstrates AMD's commitment to open standards and software that provides an improved user experience and Total Cost of Ownership for users in every walk of life. One cornerstone of this openness is the availability of documentation without NDA, enabling everyone to contribute.
Coreboot is open source, so every interested developer or user can modify, tweak and extend it to their heart's content.
An additional benefit of this documentation release is flashrom support for all AMD chipsets which enables users to reflash their BIOS/firmware/coreboot from within Linux and *BSD without rebooting.
Coreboot code for the SB700 and 780 chipset family is already being worked on by Zheng Bao at AMD in his spare time and the coreboot community is happy to work with him on finishing and integrating the code into the official coreboot codebase.
We'd like to thank Sharon Troia at AMD for making these documentation releases possible.
The exact download URLs are listed at http://www.coreboot.org/Datasheets.

Alberta is the second westernmost province in Canada and includes part of the Canadian Rockies. It's popular for the oil, natural gas and cattle farming. The province is very diverse, mixing the roughness of the Rockies with the flatness of the prairie and the relaxing forests.
What to do
The two largest cities in the province are Calgary and Edmonton. Both offer tourists all the facilities they need. West Edmonton Mall is one of Alberta's largest attractions. It houses the world's largest indoor entertainment center and 800 retails shops.
Calgary is also home to some interesting places. You should check Calgary Zoo and make sure to go to the top of Calgary Tower for the best views of the town.
One of the most scenic drives is between west of Calgary towards British Columbia. Between Banff and Jasper there's the Icefields Parkway, a sight that definitely should not be missed.
Getting there
There are two major airports in the area: Edmonton International Airport and Calgary International Airport. They both receive international and domestic flights into Alberta.
Being a vast province, renting a car is probably the best option if you need to get out of the large cities. The buses and trains also link the cities.
Where to stay
There are a lot of hotels in Alberta both in big and small towns. The backpackers will be happy to learn that there are hostels in Alberta, especially in Edmonton.

Treating Animals Like Humans
Pets have their own unique personalities, much like each human has a unique fingerprint. »
The butchering of dogs for meat is not a problem solely found overseas. In the United States, 44 states allow dogs to be raised and sold for meat.Due to unclear and porous state laws, it is legal to sell and consume dog and cat meat, and also legal to raise them for that purpose.
This practice cannot continue! Urge the FDA to put a stop to this practice by recognizing the raising and consumption of household pets as animal cruelty!
The Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary will honor the memory of Catherine Violet Hubbard, one of the first graders lost in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, CT on December 14, 2012. Catherine is remembered for her beautiful smile, compassionate spirit, and love of all creatures. The sanctuary will fulfill an innocent and pure dream of a child who would whisper to every animal, "Tell all your friends that I am kind." In the next 20 years, it is estimated that more farmland will go up for sale than ever in Connecticut's history, a transition that will displace hundreds of animals. The Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary will not be a working farm, but a safe haven for those animals in need, providing them with a home where the can live the remainder of their days in a peaceful community.
I was scrolling through my Facebook feed, and this came up. Normally, I get excited about animal videos because I love my job and I love animals but this -- THIS WAS DIFFERENT! I cannot believe that this dog is not a human. He's outrageous but in a good way (OF COURSE!). He is so into singing with his car buddies that it's almost like he is human himself.

Tiffany Studios
American, active 1902–1938
Candlestick, c. 1910
28.5 x 8.8 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Arthur King
G-97-315 ab
Metallic, Decorative Arts Silver
The Arthur King collection was a significant gift to the WAG in the late 1980s and 1990s. Featuring work from important manufacturers such as Gallé, Loetz-Witwe, Steuben, Tiffany, Lalique, and Sabino, the works in glass and metal form a major part of the WAG's Art Nouveau and Art Deco collections. This pair of candlesticks from Tiffany is a fine example of late Art Nouveau. They feature three elegant, elongated stems rising from lion paw feet, sweeping upwards to an urn-shaped receptacle upheld by three supports in the classic Art Nouveau whiplash-line profile. Made of bronze with a gilt intaglio finish, the candlesticks are characteristic of the luxurious works produced by Tiffany Studios, established and led by Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933).

Sette Impact Padded Under Shorts
Sette Impact Padded Under Shorts feature strategically-placed molded polyester foam padding attached to Lycra mesh for the ultimate in protection and comfort. The ultimate protection wear Sette Impact Padded Under Shorts.
I bought these to be a preventative measure from a wreck with no padded shorts, and experiencing chunks of "Purple Mountain Majesty" leaving my back side with purple mountain sized bruises and bumps. These have held up well, seem true to size, comfortable, and well padded.
These padded shorts are great! Especially for the price. They fit perfect and have great butt protection as well. I highly recommend these shorts.
fits well good overall protection..fast shipping...recomended!
Good value for padded shorts. I have some padded shorts that fit better, but these are almost as good. Haven't fallen on them yet, but they look like they would do their job.
These fit great and don't shift when riding. Haven't had a spill yet with these on, but I forget that I have them on when I'm riding because they are so light. You can't beat the price either, no one else makes padded shorts for this cheap.
The chamois is really thick on these, which is a good thing for me. I don't get much out of the leg padding and makes it hard to put my winter pants over it, but they were worn a lot in warm weather and feel great.
Have had a pair for nearly 5 years. Saved me a few times. Fit great. Protection where you need it. I am buying a new pair.

Magnificent Carved Moonstone Ring
Yellow gold of 18k is fashioned in a dome of open work leaves and flowers set with peridot gemstones. Sitting up high, a prismatic blue moonstone has been carved with the likeness of a classical female profile. From every angle the moonstone reads those heavenly and ethereal blues that only moonstones can display. The hair style of the image is reminiscent of classical Greek and Roman art. Even when worn, the moonstone set as it is with light reaching into the dome, shows the blue that everyone so desires.
Measurements: 7/8 of an inch (2.2 cm) in length by 3/4 of an inch (1.9 cm) in width by just shy of 7/16 of an inch (1 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 7.4 grams (4.8 dwt).
Ring Size: US 6-3/4 US (UK N-1/2; Int. Dia. 17.25; Euro 53.5 mm; Japan just under 14) and can be easily sized. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: 750 (for 18k)
Condition: Excellent; moonstone has tiny surface wear visible with magnification; one area at bottom left of neck appears to perhaps been buffed out slightly visible with a loupe. The mount itself is excellent.
Date & Origin: Circa 1910 and is European in origin.

Van der Ende isn't just one of those guys who collects the odd scrap here and there – he hoards wood like squirrels stock up on acorns for the winter. His sculptures rely on thousands of pieces of scrap wood and to get all the right colors, he hunts for scraps in the dumpsters of Rotterdam. If he can't find the color he needs for one of his sculptures, he heads to a warehouse near Rotterdam that stores more than 7,000 old doors to find what he needs.
Related: 400,000 Plastic Sandals Upcycled Into Colorful Oceanside Sculptures
After finding the scrap wood doors, cabinets, and planks, van der Ende takes the object apart, removing any nails, screws and hinges and then he uses a saw-bench to cut the wood into veneers around 3mm thick. The bulk of the sculpture is constructed out of the plain wood veneers and then the colored veneers are added as the final layer to the bas-relief shape. He uses glue and nails to adhere the veneers and relies on perspective to exaggerate the form of the sculpture. In total, the amazing sculptures can take 6-8 weeks each to complete!

The American Civil War: Letters and Diaries consists of diaries, letters, and memoirs by famous and unknown individuals from the North, South, and foreign countries. Aside from a keyword index, other indexes include characteristics of author, personal events, battles and date/day or month.
When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.

Elvis At Stax - An Introduction
If there was an inherent flaw in the marketing and presentation of Elvis' music during the '70s, it was undoubtedly the lack of visual distinction between his live and studio output. By the time Elvis' last album featuring recordings from the Stax sessions was issued in January 1975, no fewer than 20 albums had been issued by RCA that featured Elvis on stage wearing a jumpsuit. This repetitious process, regulated by Elvis' manager, Colonel Tom...

UTICA, N.Y. -- Utica Police are asking for your help locating a man they say attacked and shot his ex-girlfriend in the back of the head.
Police say a woman was attacked by Jerry McNair, 37, at her home around 9 p.m. Monday. She told police she was assaulted and choked with a USB cord to the point where she lost consciousness.
The victim woke up Tuesday afternoon and went to the hospital. That's where doctors discovered a gunshot wound to the back of her head. Police say she was shot at point-blank range.
Detectives believe McNair is still in Utica and is considered armed and dangerous.
"We're just asking for the public's help to try to get us information. It's possible somebody could be helping him evade police, maybe not even knowingly," said Utica Police Sgt. Steve Hauck.
Officers are not releasing information about the victim's condition.
Police say McNair has been in trouble with the law before. He was charged with first degree sexual abuse against a child in September last year and is currently wanted in Utica for unrelated charges.
If anyone has information, call Utica Police at (315) 223-3510. All calls will be kept confidential.

I heard on Fox News that Kerry and the DOD followed a "playbook" purposely stepping up our show of might to provoke them and show them we won't back down. Now that Little Kim says he is ready for nuclear war, the report stated the playbook is back on the shelf and they are rethinking the strategy.
What choice does a bankrupt Country have? I'm thinking maybe for the next fifty years we should watch what Canada does and follow.
Where are the Russians, China, GB and other larger powers in all this? Why is it always our problem to solve? Nuclear threats like Kim's will affect those country's as well.

YES! Recommends: No Impact Project
No Impact Man, Colin Beavan, and his family have inspired a nation to swap their old consumer habits for new environmentally-friendly ones. Thousands of people have tried the No Impact Experiment, a one week carbon-cleansing, as a first step in changing their everyday behavior.
The recently launched No Impact Curriculum brings the lessons learned from this year-long journey to your classroom. Five stand-alone, 50-minute lessons on consumption, energy, transportation, water, and food capture are a terrific combination of compelling information and positive action. Each lesson explores the effects your students' everyday behavior has on the environment, their health, and their well-being. The curriculum will also challenge them to think about how the systems in our present society influence our lifestyle choices in ways that often are not good for the environment.
To download the free complete lessons, you will need to register. Registration is free, and please be assured that your email will not be shared. It is not required to purchase the DVD and book to use the lesson plans.
Please note that YES! Magazine does its best to provide educators with easily accessible teaching tools. Email login is becoming more common practice. We will recommend you register to log in only when we believe the materials are worth your time and effort.
No Impact Project: Lesson Plans for Grades 6-12
Time: 50 minutes, with some lessons requiring outside time for data collection
All five lesson plans feature the film and book from the project, No Impact Man, which follows Colin's in New York City as they examine how they live, exchange old habits for more environmentally-friendly ones, and discover in the process that such changes actually make them happier and healthier. The lessons also incorporate web site resources that build on themes that emerge from the family's experiences.
Lesson One: Consumption
DOWNLOAD: Consumption
Educators can use this lesson to help students examine their consumption habits and consider strategies for acquiring necessities in ways that do less harm to the environment.
Lesson Two: Energy
DOWNLOAD: Energy
Educators can use this lesson to help students explore how they can reduce their daily energy consumption and speak out on the need to have long-term, sustainable energy solutions.
Lesson Three: Food
DOWNLOAD: Food
Educators can use this lesson to help students explore how their food choices affect the environment and our quality of life.
Lesson Four: Transportation
DOWNLOAD: Transportation

Lesson Five: Water
DOWNLOAD: Water

No Impact Experiment
Think about this experiment as what you get, not what you give up: a happier you that will make a happier planet. For one week, beginning and ending on a Sunday, your eco-conscience will be heightened by altering your energy usage, water usage, and food habits. It's not about feeling guilty or deprived, but about making change your way, no matter how big or small.
Sign up for No Impact updates to find out when the next No Impact Experiment will start. Once you sign up you will receive a user-friendly How-To Manual. Read the No Impact Experiment frequently asked questions for more information and inspiration.

DO: Try Colin Beavan's experiment yourself, for a week
The No Impact Project (NIP) was established in Spring 2009 to harness the success of No Impact Man, Colin Beavan's blog, book, and film, which chronicle his family's year-long experiment to adopt a zero-waste lifestyle. NIP believes that deep-seated behavioral change leads to both cultural change and political engagement. It organizes and encourages "no impact weeks" that challenge participants to unplug, make no trash, and resist the urge to buy. Success for NIP means engaging people who are not already "tree-hugging, bicycle-riding, canvas bag-toting eco-warriors" to adopt lifestyle changes that have a positive impact on the planet and simply make them happier and more satisfied.

Rainbow Knee High Toe Socks
Knee highs with rainbows from your toes to your knees for grown-ups and kids. They'll stay up all day, even if you run!
One size: 9-11, should fit women's shoe size 7 and up. Top stretch about 16.5 inches.
Small: Kid's shoe size 12-14; when we tested these, we found they could fit up to a women's size 7.
Both sizes are tube style and fit a range of feet. Larger feet and calves will find that they don't go all the way up the knee and are more of an "over the calf" sock
Additional Info: We've had a lot of fun with a pair - I cut the toes off, and they have been washed many times without much fraying. See the review: here.
Made in Taiwan, Foot Traffic has worked with the same mill for over 20 years and assures us they meet all benchmarks of positive and conscientious standards.
Fiber Content: 85% acrylic, 15% spandex.
Label: Foot Traffic
If I place an order in the next hour when will it ship? It's 12:40 EST Friday 2/21/2014.
Will the small size rainbow toe socks fit girls age 7? Or will they be too big
Would these fit large man feet?
You guys are always so amazing about sharing how different items fit on different bodies (which helps ensure happy customers!). I love your selection, and my friends always know that a Sock Dreams gift certificate never goes amiss as a gift in this household!

1. Male monks cannot touch women or women monks (Buddhist nuns) cannot touch men. If a man or woman was in danger, can they be allowed to perform CPR? If a monk's mother came to the monastery to visit & missed them, can they hug? If a monk's friend was depressed, can they hug them out of comfort?
2. If a monk suffers from illnesses like allergies, asthma, arthritis or anything else, does the monastery provide or assist medication or are they against it?
3. If a group of monks are traveling and have no food or water and but a farm nearby, would they make an exception for food from the farmer despite it possibly being milk, eggs or meat?
4. If someone just recently converted to Buddhism and wanted to become a monk but had already lost their virginity in the past but promises to stay pure for the rest of their life, will they still be accepted by the monastery despite these conditions?

After 83 years, Higgins Armory Museum officially closed its doors on December 31, 2013. Fortunately, the museum's core collection lives on at the Worcester Art Museum (WAM) just a few miles away. On Friday, March 28, WAM opened a NEW exhibition, entitled Knights!, combining works from its collection with those from the newly integrated Higgins Collection.
Click here to learn more about the future long-term plans to present this arms and armor collection at the Worcester Art Museum.
The Higgins Armory/Worcester Pressed Steel building is for sale. In preparation for the sale of our building, we commissioned a report on the structure and its history, which is now available to prospective buyers. The report was created by architectural historian Sara Wermiel. To read, please click here. For more information about the real estate listing for our building, please visit CBRE New England.

Before getting into what I believe the next DNI should focus on, I suppose its worth considering briefly why President Elect Obama did not name his Director of National Intelligence (DNI) or CIA Director along with the rest of his National Security team on 30 November. According to informed reporting, retired Admiral Denny Blair was slated to be named DNI and John Brennan-- current CEO of TAC, Clinton PDB Briefer, first NCTC Director, and senior Intelligence advisor to the Obama campaign – Director of CIA. According to unconfirmed second hand insider reports, Denny Blair's nomination is being reconsidered because the Obama Transition Team is concerned about establishing the DNI as a military position. Just a few days before the President Elect introduced his national security team, John Brennan publicly announced he was withdrawing his name from consideration for any senior IC post so as not to be a "distraction" to the new administration because of concerns raised by a coalition of 200 psychiatrists about his tacit acceptance of "enhance interrogation techniques" while at CIA. In my view these are inconsequential reasons for denying our next President and the IC the service of two outstanding individuals who would be ready to lead the IC from the moment of confirmation.
So while we wait for the next DNI to be named, let's explore in a cursory way what President Obama's Senior Intelligence Officer (SIO) should have on his agenda regardless of who is designated. Based on the advice of National Security Advisor Jim Jones, I suspect President Obama will charge his DNI to make sure the President has the intelligence needed to insure the security of the United States AND that the DNI keep the IC under control so this administration is not embarrassed by any abridgements of civil liberties or human rights. If the "book" on Barak Obama is close to right, insuring that IC does not embarrass the United States in general or this administration in particular will be a serious and important charge to the next DNI after the recent controversy associated with warrantless wiretaps and allegations of torture… if the new DNI wants to keep the job.
To be a little more specific, here are a number of questions – and my answers – I would like to imagine President Obama asking his DNI in order to learn more about where the DNI stands as well as about the IC and what it can and can't do for the President.
Ø DNI what is the biggest wildcard in the national security threat deck? The DNI would be wise to give the same one word answer former DCI and continuing Secretary of Defense Bob Gates gave in a recent interview: Pakistan.
Ø What keeps you awake at night? The DNI should respond: the nation's vulnerability to cyber capabilities we know adversaries can muster against us right now.
Ø DNI what national security issue is the IC least capable of dealing with? The DNI should know the answer is the increasing economic weakness of the
Ø What is the IC's most serious blind spot? The DNI should report that it is the convergence zone of foreign and domestic intelligence given our political bias not to engage in domestic intelligence.
Ø DNI what kind of intelligence is most difficult to understand? HUMINT because it takes time to develop.
Ø What is our best source of Intelligence DNI? Easy, it's all source analysis!
Ø What is the biggest misconception about intelligence across the government? That intelligence is a free good!
Ø What is the IC's biggest misconception about itself? That its sources and methods are superior to those of journalist, academic researchers, and subject matter experts.
Ø Is the IC properly organized for today's threat matrix DNI? No, the IC would be more effective if was organized by function (i.e collection, exploitation, analysis, and dissemination) instead of by "INT" as it has been since 1947.
Ø If I asked you for a benchmark organization to measure the IC against what would you tell me? Disney Corporation, because like the IC it is a global enterprise that is both a content generator and provider operating in a variety of mediums all with multiple audiences.
Ø Where is the greatest waste in the IC? The acquisition process and unintended redundant capabilities come immediately to mind, but if I can only name one it would be the consistent failure of the IC to match analytic capabilities with its collections systems.
Ø If the IC could get a significant budgetary plus up in FY 10 how would you spend it? Analytic training and education. Training so analysts could learn how to better use the IT analytic tools the IC has already invested in and education to increase the intellectual capacity of analysts
Ø What if I have to significantly cut the IC budget in FY-10? Military service specific intelligence is so expensive that most other nations have moved to consolidating their military intelligence into one organization, but I would rather sacrifice an expensive space borne collection system than do this (remember what I said about collecting more than we can analyze).
Ø What one thing can I do tomorrow as President that will make the IC more effective? Direct that if security authorities cannot show in 60 days reasonable cause for not clearing a military or government employee for a position requiring an SCI clearance that the individual will be granted an interim TS/SCI clearance
Ø What should be done long term to improve the IC? If your administration decides to retain the DNI and ODNI staff, the position of DNI should be established in law for a set length time as is the case for the Director of the Federal Reserve or Director of the FBI to de-politicalize the DNI position and the advice given to the President, other members of the executive branch, and the Congress.
Ø OK, what do you want to tell me that I haven't asked you about? Well Mr. President I hope you will keep in mind that unlike clairvoyance, intelligence to be useful has to be based on empirical data and information. My job is to put the intelligence the IC generates into a context so it is useful to you
Now you have a sense of how I would qualify any candidate to be the DNI or hold other senior IC positions, but I am more interested in what you think the right questions and answers should be to get the best DNI.
Joe, One question that should be asked is "What do you need from me?" Answer: Intelligence is an interactive process, not a passive one. We need to know that we are answering the right questions and providing the right kind of answers. Policy needs to stay involved and insist on results.
Absolutely Nels! I subliminally made this assumption, but it does need to clearly understood and positively addressed not assumed. thanks! joemaz
Joe, Nels:
Re interactive policy. But take care not to "cook the threat." Intelligence needs to support the policy makers objectively and remain independent of, and unbiased by, the resulting policy solution.
Thanks Craig! I believe objectivity is a function of independence, which is why the DNI needs to be appointed for an extended term like the Chairman of Federal Reserve in order to minimize the very real risk of "cooking the threat" that you correctly point out. joemaz
I read with interest your preferred questions and answers from an idealized exchange between the President-elect and his DNI. As usual, you're spot on in many cases. However, you are way off on at least one item. That item is on the IC's biggest misconception about itself. You opined that the misconception was the IC's belief that its methods/sources were superior to those of academia, journalists, and SMEs. Well, having been in academia before entering the Navy, and having dealt with journalists and supposed "SMEs" there is no question that our methods and sources are better. There's really no comparison. There is no journalist, professor, or person that relies on what those two say that can come to grips with the question: "How close can the bad guys come before they shoot?" The answer to that multi-layered problem comes from an extensive review, indeed I would argue from an encyclopedic understanding of what the bad guys have, how they've used it, and how well it works. None of that is available from journalists, academics, or anyone of that ilk. I've had to listen to the discredited claims from sadly senior folks sometimes, that "90% of what the Boss needs to know he can get from the newspaper." Well, if that's true then the Boss is not worried about the real dangers.
On the otherhand, I would argue that the IC as a whole does indeed have a serious misconception about itself. I think we too often fall victim of perceiving what we want to believe. That is, if we think of ourselves as ten-foot tall analysts (and we do in many cases), then the bad guys can't be as good as us. That's a fatal bit of hubris. The truth I believe is that the bad guys are not interested in being ten-feet tall. They're interested in being "tall enough". They don't measure themselves by using our tape measure. They use their own. Our problem is in identifying when the enemies of this country have arrived at that point.
I thoroughly enjoyed your article. All the best.
Tom than you for this thoughtful push back. On reflection I believe you are right that I was not clear enough about the IC having superior sources and methods and "hubris" about the advantage they bring.
To expand this just a bit, I too have some experience with the media and academia. This causes me to say these domains can produce an "information report" that is far less expensive than what the IC could do comparable work for. My real angst with the IC is its failure to understand it has lost its monopoly on "exquisite" information. If you wanted aphotograph from space, a cell phone intercept, or to hack into an IT network you needed the IC. All of this is now available commerically meaning its the ability to provide tailored context and the quality of analysis ---- not sources and methods --- that should set the IC apart from journalist and academics. joemaz
I wrote my AFCEA Blog on 14 December but I am just now reading David Ignatius' 11 Dec Washington Post OpEd. Certainly one of the rationals for creating the DNI and ODNI staff was to get an IC CEO in place to lead and manage the community vice doing this in addition to running CIA and presenting the PDB. Having been a CNO Intel Briefer and the head of a JCS J2 current intel team building the daily brief for the SecDef and CJCS I know at this level their not much gas left in the tank to do other things when you are 23 hours away from the "next show" all with new material. Can it be easier doing the daily intel brief six days a week for the President?!?!? As a $50 billion enterprise (by comparison Oracle is $23B, EMC $13 B, Disney $30 something billion) business school 101 says running something like this is a full time job ------ not something you do in between preparation for the PDB. joemaz
This is an excellent piece. It would be nice to believe that such a conversation would take place between the new President and the DNI.Hope springs eternal!
I have long felt that the DNI needs to be someone of "national stature" and not an intelligence "lifer." I just think this would bring fresh ideas. But, it has to be someone who will personally do a deep dive into the business and render independent judgements. I had great hopes for Amb Negroponte, but he just did not seem to have his heart in it. (At least this is my impression looking from afar.) Also, I could not agree more that the DNI should not be saddled with the daily Presidential briefing. This "face time" may feel good, but could be handled another way by using an up-and-coming star to do the briefing ... maybe even some people who are pretty junior. (I hate the trend that says only the "boss" can brief someone senior. It may feel good, but it doesn't get the real job done. I could go on!)
The President would do well to tell the DNI (and others) that he wants to know what Intelligence knows, what it doesn't know and what it thinks ... and distinguish among the three. I think the preceeding came from Colin Powell and I think it is good advice. We are there to "inform" decisionmaking and not to perform it.
Excellent piece, as usual. John
John, As always thanks for you thoughful feedback and encouragement. You make a great point about "intel lifers" being the DNI and the IC essential drinking its own bath water and believing its AquaFina. The problem is finding a "national figure" willing to be DNI AND who would be accepted by the IC their leader and advocate. Some names to consider: Tom Brokaw, Colin Powell, Bob Kerry, John Meecham. If Tim Russert where alive he would be at the top of this list. Thanks again John joemaz

Linking Natural Science Collections in Wales
June 2013
Museum collections in Wales – Knowledge is Preservation
More than 100 institutions in Wales have natural science collections in their care. Natural science includes all things connected to the natural world: bird skins, insects, minerals, shells, fossils, plants, fluid preserved specimens and even microorganisms such as diatoms. These collections contain an awful lot of knowledge of our present and past natural history, and one purpose of museums is to preserve this knowledge for posterity.
What is a museum?
Museums are guardians of knowledge, and collections are what makes museums special. Collections are what sets museums apart from other organisations, the absolute core of museum work. There has been a discussion for a while over the traditional concept of the museum as a collecting institution, and whether to broaden the definition of a museum to include institutions without collections, for example one-object museums (e.g., ship museums) or science centres. However, exhibitions, research and many education activities are not possible without specimens and objects from museum collections.
Hand in hand with collections goes the knowledge that is embodied in them. Knowledge of the objects, their collectors, their provenance, their age, their cultural and scientific associations, and simply where objects are stored. This is the information that makes a collection usable. In recent years, many museums have managed to update their storage records. In many cases records are available in digital form and are easily searchable. Having said that, every museum curator knows that records are far from complete even in large museums with fancy collections management systems.
Collections information
The overwhelming majority of collections information is in the heads of the curators looking after these collections. This is especially the case for tacit knowledge – the 'soft data', information about collectors and their biographies and interests, stories and anecdotes about objects and collectors. The sort of thing that makes or breaks good exhibitions. Most of the time, these stories are never written down; instead, they are passed down the generations from curator to curator, and it takes years to learn all this.
It is easy to argue that a collection without information is worthless. If I cannot identify the objects in my collection, if I cannot find them, if I do not even know I have them, there is no point keeping the collection because it is, to all intents and purposes, worthless. Ultimately, this last point is the biggest danger – most curators are aware of stories of valuable collections ending up in a skip because the person making the decision did not have the right knowledge. And if we do not know what we are throwing out we have no idea what we are losing. Ultimately, society as a whole would become poorer culturally, historically and scientifically.
The specialist curator
Good curators then are not a luxury but a necessity. And a good curator needs to be a jack of all trades to be master of one: trained in a specialist subject, with experience of collections management, research, design, public speaking and storytelling, a communicator who understands the need for sharing knowledge with other museums and, crucially, the public. With people like that looking after museum collections our cultural and scientific heritage should be perfectly safe.
But here's the thing: the number of natural history curators fell by one third in the past ten years (Museums Journal 113/04). The trend is similar – if somewhat less dramatic – in other subject disciplines. There is an increasing number of 'orphaned' collections, which have nobody to care for and protect them, let alone use them. In Wales the current situation is that out of more than 100 institutions with natural science collections, only a single one has any specialist curators left – the National Museum.
This makes it immensely more difficult for museums to use their collections. We do need to know where collections are and how they can be accessed. Local communities, schools, tourists and researchers want to see those collections and learn about them. The good news is that most of the collections are still there.
How collections reviews can help
The 'Linking Natural Science Collections in Wales' project is now starting to assess the first collections in local museums. Specialist curators from Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales are soon going to review collections across Wales. The intention is to capture information about those collections in a single database. This does not replace the need for specialist curators, But local staff and volunteers will trained and much more able to utilise their collections. This will mean better educational materials, better exhibitions and a better experience for museum visitors. Most importantly, however, it means that these collections will be safely preserved for future generations.
