Technology Challenges and Opportunities
Posted by
on July 09, 2009 at 10:49 AM EST The review of classification policy has never before undergone such significant participation from the public. This is in part because of the format (online blog) we chose to solicit your input. It is an important step for the members of the Public Interest Declassification Board, because we are hearing directly from the people we strive to represent. Thank you for contributing and participating in this unprecedented conversation. Yesterday the support staff for the Public Interest Declassification Board summarized your comments on Classification Policy. Today, we hope the topic of discussion will attract the attention of those with knowledge and expertise in information technology and electronic communications.
The President has asked that the review, of Executive Order 12958, as amended, include consideration for the appropriate classification, safeguarding, accessibility, and declassification of information in the electronic environment, as recommended by the Commission on Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction. As you consider your recommendations for revisions to the Order, please think about how the Government can strike a balance between encouraging and allowing creative uses of new technologies in Government, promoting public access, and ensuring that these technologies are implemented so that information crucial to our national security is protected. We have developed the following questions as a starting point for our conversation.
- How can technology provide greater access to Government information?
- How should Government classification policy address information in the electronic environment?
- How can we be sure to create and preserve an accessible record of decisions made and actions taken in a technology-assisted environment that is not always forward-looking?
- How can the Government review electronic records effectively for public access?
- How can technology be used to improve classification and declassification?
- How can classification and declassification decisions be captured at the creation of the electronic record?
- How can records management of classified records be improved through technology?
- Should records management play a role in how electronic records are declassified?
- What standards should be employed when classifying electronic information?
- Should there be standards and integration for classified systems?
- How can technology help remove impediments to the sharing of classified information?
Give us your answers over at the OSTP blog.

3 new actors for GAME OF THRONES, plus Hellboy wants a part
Kristian Nairn plays Hodor on the HBO series Game of Thrones. He's also a DJ and WoW player!
Did he ever just wish his character was mute so he could stop saying "Hodor!"? Also, did he answer a casting call? If so what was the character description? -- Nick
Since this is his first major role, I'd like to know a bit about the casting process. How did he land role? What was the audition like? (a lot of Hodoring one would expect) -- Tero
I'd like to know how much say he had in his dialogue. No, seriously. There was a distinct lack of Hodoring in the show and I'd really like to know if he was involved in any discussions on how much Hodor is too much Hodor. I'm wondering whether they were toning it down to not grate on people, or if they just didn't have time to explain his backstory and didn't want people wondering about it until they'd had a chance to. -- Been
As a fellow big guy (6'7"" and about 280) did he have problems walking around the castles? I almost knocked myself out walking through a castle in Wales wearing a baseball cap. I walked strait into a stone door frame I could not see b/c the hat bill blocked it. Can only imagine how tough that would be with someone riding piggy back. -- Alden
Do you think that Hodor has intense internal thought but is unable to communicate it effectively? He can clearly understand what other people expect of him and can look after himself in other ways. -- Michael

INTERVIEW - Starts at 22:01
David Peterson - LCS President (Language Creation Society), creator of the Dothraki language.
David was nice enough to translate the passage on the show and pointed us to this link for an example of some diagramming of Dothraki:
"I will not have your body burned. I will not give you that honor. The beetles will feed on your eyes. The worms will crawl through your lungs. The rain will fall on your rotting skin... until nothing is left of you but bones."
Ánha vazhók khadoés yeroón virsalát. Ánha ochomók yeraán kíjinosi. Ínte vádakhie tíhoa ma khéwo áfilki vi gadimaán. Eyél várthasoe she ilekaán ríkhoya arrekaán vékha vósi yeroón vósma tolórro.

In response to insulin, protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTPase 1B) dephosphorylates 95- and 160-180-kDa tyrosine phosphorylated (PY) proteins (Kenner, K. A., Anyanwu, E., Olefsky, J. M., and Kusari, J. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 19810-19816). To characterize these proteins, lysates from control and insulin-treated cells expressing catalytically inactive PTPase 1B (CS) were immunoadsorbed and subsequently immunoblotted using various combinations of phosphotyrosine, PTPase 1B, and insulin receptor (IR) antibodies. Anti-PTPase 1B antibodies coprecipitated a 95-kDa PY protein from insulin-stimulated cells, subsequently identified as the IR beta-subunit. Similarly, anti-IR antibodies coprecipitated the 50-kDa PY-PTPase 1B protein from insulin-treated cells. To identify PTPase 1B tyrosine (Tyr) residues that are phosphorylated in response to insulin, three candidate sites (Tyr66, Tyr152, and Tyr153) were replaced with phenylalanine. Replacing Tyr66 or Tyr152 and Tyr153 significantly reduced insulin-stimulated PTPase 1B phosphotyrosine content, as well as its association with the IR. Studies using mutant IRs demonstrated that IR autophosphorylation is necessary for the PTPase 1B-IR interaction. These results suggest that PTPase 1B complexes with the autophosphorylated insulin receptor in intact cells, either directly or within a complex involving additional proteins. The interaction requires multiple tyrosine phosphorylation sites within both the receptor and PTPase 1B.

* Just 54 percent of Americans ages 18 to 24 currently have jobs. This is the lowest employment rate we've seen for this age ever.
* These numbers suggest that the recession is killing job prospects for many of the younger generation who — keep in mind — were still in high school or college when the downturn began.
I'm $50,000 in debt from student loans and finally found a job. Should I start paying off my loans right away?
Many financial experts will tell you to start throwing money at your student loans before you move on to other big "life" purchases. The thought is that the earlier you can pay them off, the better. But if your student loans operate on a sliding scale, you might want to put on the breaks. It's a snowball effect: the faster you start paying them off, the faster your monthly payment can ramp up.
Paying off your student loans too aggressively can also damage your credit score, making your creditors take notice if you slow down again too quickly. Don't bite off more than you can chew, as you never know what curveballs (or pink slips) might come your way down the road. Before getting too aggressive with your student loans payments, you should always tackle the highest interest rate expense you have first, which — especially if you've been out of work for a while — is most likely your credit card. These high rates will get you in the long term; get them under control before moving on to student loans.
In this tight job market, what can I do to make myself stand out?
It helps to always be a step ahead, and in this economy most companies are looking for creative ways to make money. Subscribe to a trade magazine, invest some time — and whatever extra funds you might have, if possible — in yourself. Enroll in a class online or at a local university to improve your skills or learn a new one.
Already have a special skill? Offer your services on elance.com or odesk.com, where companies look for freelancers to take on projects on everything from writing to web design to administrative work.
I graduated last May and am still looking for a job — what are some alternative ways for me to make money?
If you're looking to make some dough while you wait — or even on the side once you find a full-time job — just remember: play to your work weaknesses, those things you do most often.
Have a twitter addiction? Seek out a company you can be brand ambassador for and get paid to promote their tweets online. Painstakingly retouch your photos before posting them to Facebook? Offer your services to an online retouching service and make some cash by tweaking other people's photos. Sucker for the latest apps on your iPhone? Sign up to be a beta tester for apps that haven't even hit the market yet.
You might already be "that" guy or girl who's always online – and you're probably online job searching anyway — now be the smart guy or girl who's getting paid for it.

Jobless Edmonds man is Ramen Rater online
Some food critics go for haute cuisine.
The Daily Herald
Some food critics go for haute cuisine.
Hans Lienesch goes for the instant kind - and a very particular one at that.
The unemployed Edmonds transplant has carved out an online niche as a prolific sampler of packaged Asian noodles, the kind you cook by adding boiling water and little else.
Online, Lienesch is known as the Ramen Rater. By this week, he'd reviewed 407 varieties of packaged noodles from nearly every country in east Asia.
His culinary pedigree?
"I like to eat," the 36-year-old said this week, patting his belly.
Many people know about ramen noodles from the Top Ramen brand made by Japan's Nissin Foods.
The same goes for Lienesch. As a kid growing up in Anacortes in the 1980s, he tried another kind of noodle made by Nissin called Roasted Ramen that he liked better than Top Ramen. Then it disappeared from store shelves.
That sent his family on a quest to the Uwajimaya supermarket in Seattle. There, he found an exact equivalent of his beloved Roasted Ramen - and a whole spectrum of instant noodles he never knew existed.
"I started a website in 2002 to keep track of what I tried, see if I liked it or not," Lienesch said.
A diet forced him to take a break from the often high-sodium, high-fat noodles. He turned to reviewing hot sauces. When he reached about 250 hot sauce reviews, he grew bored and stopped.
Eventually, he kicked the diet and, about a year ago, started reviewing ramen again in earnest.
Helping feed the habit was his recent move to a stretch of Highway 99 in Edmonds dotted with restaurants, groceries and other businesses from around the globe. You might call it the Highway of Babel.
Cheap rents, not the neighborhood's promise for exotic ramen variations, however, were what drew Lienesch there.
"It ended up being a super lucky spot," he said.
These days, most people in the Puget Sound area need not venture far to find a full-fledged supermarket catering to Asian palates with entire aisles dedicated to instant noodles.
Uwajimaya, headquartered in Seattle, has four retail stores in the Northwest and traces its roots to a business that Yawatahama, Japan, native Fujimatsu Moriguchi began in Tacoma in 1928.
H Mart, an Asian supermarket chain that started in Queens, N.Y., in 1982, has a Lynnwood branch near the Alderwood mall.
A short walk from Lienesch's apartment is 99 Ranch Market, another Asian supermarket chain, which began in Southern California in 1984.
On Tuesday, the Ramen Rater stalked an aisle at 99 Ranch that rivaled a fireworks stand for its explosion of color. Rows of bright packages advertised noodle flavors as diverse as kimchi, Chinese soy bean and tom yum soup. Most cost a buck or less.
"I've shopped this place pretty well," Lienesch said. "I don't just review the stuff that looks like it's going to be good."
Even with so many offerings, Lienesch said it's getting tricky to find untested packages. This turned out to be a lucky day, though, when Lienesch stumbled on something new: prawn-flavored noodles from Malaysia. He excitedly called it an "uber score."
Back at the apartment that Lienesch shares with his fiancee, Christine, and pugs Daisy and Otis, he broke into true Ramen Rater form.
It's something Lienesch goes about with a complete lack of pretension. He's never been to Asia. Neither he nor his fiancee have any ties to the region. He sheepishly admits that he doesn't use chopsticks.
"It's really embarrassing, too," he said.
His review technique started by taking photos of the unopened, unrated package on his computer desk. Then he tore open the wrapping to snap more shots of the spice and sauce packets inside.
"I like to take pictures before, after and during," he said.
He next shuffled over to the stovetop for a few minutes of heavy boiling during which he pulled out the tangled mass with a fork to inspect it through his dark-framed glasses.
When the noodles looked ready, he poured them back into the spice bowl and did another photo shoot of the steamy, chili-flecked soup. Within the hour, these and other pictures would appear online on the Ramen Rater blog.
Finally, the time had come to dig in - with a fork - and with a chaser of Mello Yello soft drink from a 2-liter bottle.
"It's not bad," he said. "It's got a little bit of spiciness to it, a little bit of shrimp-pastiness, a little bit of lemon."
The average review - no surprise - falls in the middle of his 1-to-5 scale.
Tuesday's noodles rated a 3.25. To his online review No. 405, Lienesch attached a Malaysian-language commercial he found on YouTube from the company that made the noodles. (Also, to keep things interesting, he appended an unrelated YouTube video about a UFO sighting in Canada.)
The site, http://www.ramen rater.com, has received as many as 6,700 visitors in a day, he said. It carries no advertising. Lienesch said he wouldn't mind having a sponsor, though he also likes the independence.
He's active on Facebook and Twitter as well.
Sometimes, people get offended by his reviews. He doesn't see why.
"I'm, like, sometimes it's just my mood," he said. "It's just my opinion. It's not something set in holy stone or anything."
He keeps a Top 10 list, headed up by a package of Indonesian curly noodles that he awarded five stars. He's given out zero stars before, to a brand that to him tasted like "rat-dropping stew."
It turns out that the Chinese lettering on the ornate, colorful packaging advertised "fat intestine" flavor.

Las Vegas Man Receives 10-Year Sentence for Federal Narcotics and Firearms Convictions
ALBUQUERQUE -- United States Attorney Kenneth J. Gonzales announced that, this morning, United States District Judge Judith C. Herrera sentenced Alex Lawrence Romero, 31, a resident of Las Vegas, New Mexico, to a ten-year term of imprisonment based on his federal narcotics and firearms conviction. After completing his prison sentence, Romero will be on supervised release for four years.
Romero was arrested on April 19, 2010 based on a ten-count indictment charging him with: Count 1, possession of more than 500 grams of cocaine with intent to distribute; Counts 2 through 4, possession of more than 5 grams of crack cocaine with intent to distribute; Counts 5 and 6, possession of cocaine with intent to distribute; Counts 7 and 8, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute; and Counts 9 and 10, possession of firearms in furtherance of drug trafficking offenses. Romero has been in custody since his arrest.
On January 14, 2011, Romero entered a guilty plea to Counts 1 and 9 of the indictment under a plea agreement with the United States Attorney's Office. In his plea agreement, Romero admitted that on December 30, 2009, he possessed 589.5 grams of cocaine in his Las Vegas, New Mexico residence and that he intended to sell that cocaine to make an illegal profit. Romero also admitted to possessing numerous operable guns in his residence. As part of his plea deal, Romero agreed to forfeit the 17 firearms seized from his residence. Romero also agreed to forfeit his 2002 Nissan vehicle and $3,071 in cash that were proceeds of his illegal narcotics trafficking.
Judge Herrera dismissed the remaining counts of the indictment at the conclusion of Romero's sentencing hearing.
Assistant United States Attorney Samuel A. Hurtado prosecuted this case, which was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives.

The new Art Book Award, awarded by The Art Book and the Association of Art Historians (both in the UK), "aims to promote and acknowledge the best in art publishing by honouring the contributions and collaboration of the many different people involved." Its first award has just gone to Antinous: the Face of the Antique by Caroline Vout:
Published by the Henry Moore Institute to accompany the exhibition 'Antinous: The Face of the Antique' … [its cover] is devoid of text; it is a black and white photograph of a sculpture being released from stony earth. This picture begins a story which unfolds as one opens the book to encounter a succession of compelling photographs of large sculptural heads, eloquent as independent images and provocative as spectacle … Antinous is a book of discovery. Sensitively and beautifully designed, it transforms the experience of a fascinating exhibition into an enduring object which makes vision an act of archaeological discovery and renders the art of antiquity relevant to twenty-first-century viewers.

Slashcode comes with a nifty little stats area that spits out some interesting graphs. I'd love to be able to make them all public, but I fear the added load the scripts would add, so I'll try and post some of them here from time to time.
This all deal with moderation and comments for the past few months.
I've been stealthily running Google Ads on the old LISNews pages (e.g. here or Here for about a month now, just to see what happens.
I'm suprised at the results, and so far I think it may let me run LISNews on a server alone. I only need to make $6 a day to have it pay for a decent server, and by just running the ads that may happen. I feel like less of a sell out running those ads for some reason. I guess because I don't actually sell the ads, I just make a few cents every time some does a clickity-click through.
With the number of pages we server, and the same click through percentage, LISNews could be a free service for me for the first time! Getting LISNews off of LISHost would make life much easier for me.
Anyone have any problems with Google Ads on LISNews?
11-12-03 7am: To answer tangognat & mcbrides questions below, yes, I've thought about Text ads ala Mefi or K5, my experiment started by reading Matt's Blogging for Dollars. I've often thought about selling text ads, but opted not to for one reason or another so far. Seems like alot of extra work?
Am I the only one that uses that "Dissatisfied with your search results? Help us improve." link on the first page of Google search results? I find myself strangely motivated to tell them what's wrong with the really bad search results. I also find myself being disappointed more often than not lately. I wonder how many of those they read?
I just lost 5 hours and about 60 degrees going from Hawaii to Buffalo. So I'm back, the pain in my wrists is gone, my skin is tan, and I seem to be able to remember all my important passwords, so I should be back up to speed in no time.
LISNews/LISHost held up pretty well thanks to Joe, Aaron, and everyone who let them know it was down.
Thanks to all the authors, the stories kept flowing. I've always dreamed of the day LISNews ran itself, it seems we've reached that point!
Things I have learned this week:
I can live quite well without computers.
Everyone wants to sell you something in Hawaii.
People from all over the world say "ya know what I'm sayin?"
12 hours on a tour bus is about 8 hours too many.
I know what a humuhumunukunukuapuaa looks like up close.
12 hours on a plane is about 8 hours too many.
Dail up internet ain't so bad.
I'm broke.
I'll be back in a week. Thanks for a great 4 years, and for a great Blake-Free week.
The wedding went well, and we're off to Hawaii until November 8!
Thanks again to everyone who found that song for us, and to everyone who wished us well.
Since I started my new job in May I've been unable to stop drinking the water I get from the water cooler down the hall. Everyday I really look forward to filling up my water bottle, it's just that good! I never really gave any thought to the water in the water cooler, until just now.
It turns out that it's Distilled Water, not spring water like I had always assumed. So the secret to GREAT tasting water is, apparently, to distill it first! It makes such a huge difference in taste it's really amazing.
I was just trying to explain blogs to someone, and it occured to me there are meblogs, where someone will write about what they had for breakfast, and there are weblogs, where several people will emulate a news service. We blog at LISNews, while Me blogs here in my journal.
Here's my problem.
I want to know Linux, CSS, PERL, PHP, and Slsahcode inside and out. I want to be an expert at those things, write about them, and use them. I'm pretty good at most, if not all currently. The trouble is, I can't write about them if I am using them, I can't tell others how to use them, because I spend too much time actually using them. I want to write more, in this case write = writing journal articles, print stuff. I see people doing wonderful things in print, and on the web, and I think to myself, "how the hell do they have any time to do that?" and myself answers "well, maybe they don't sleep?"
Then again, maybe they don't run LISNews/LISHost.
I figure I actually have the freedom to choose what I do most of the time, and I choose to keep LISNews & LISHost going at this point in my life. If I want to spend time doing other things, reading, writing, and such, then whatever it is that takes up most of my 16 hours of awake time needs to be re-prioritized. If I am posting 16 stories a day to LISNews I am not writing elsewhere, if I am killing bugs in slashcode, or helping someone set up MT on LISHost, I am unable to read a new book I boght.
Work, my day job, takes up no small percentage of my awake time, and then there's all the other things, lately it's been the wedding, but things like that will always come up. I am beginning to feel like I need to find a different balance point, less of something, more of others. I don't want to lose my chops, but at the same time, I'd like to get other things done.
Are those who teach/write about all this unable to actually use most of what they write/teach? I don't see how one can have time to be an expert, and do other things as well.
The import script seems to be ready to roll. It's going to suck all the email addresses out of the old ezmlm mailing list, and turn them into brand new accounts, with the daily newsletter option turned on. The "daily� newsletter is now going to run only on Monday Wednesday and Friday. This still leaves the weekly list to deal with. I think I'm going to have to kill that, and roll it into the regular list. I simply don't have the time to make a weekly option for the slashcode at this point, nor do I have the time to worry about that list floating around out there, should I leave the weekly list live. If all goes well I'll make the magic happen next week. I want this all worked our before I leave for Hawaii.
So that's that…
In other LISNews news, the journals have been so much fun to watch. I'm quite happy with how much they are being used, I had rather low expectations, and have been proven wrong. There's even been some discussion on some of the journals.
Moderation participation is about what I expected, there's a few people doing a lot of moderation, a few other people doing it once in a while, and most people not at all, or maybe just once. The # of comments seems to be about the same on the new code as it was on the old. Over all, visits, hits, page views, and all that jazz are slowly trending up.
Last month we had about 3,500 visitors a day, served about 12,450 pages a day, all that from around 61,000 hits a day. Those are the number from last month, and the stats were down for a few days in there, so the real numbers are a bit higher.
Some more interesting findings in the logs…

I'm never quite sure what to make of those numbers. I guess with 66% of people coming in with no referral it means most people who read LISNews already know we're here.

Our feeds our crazy popular now. It's been fun watching the incredible growth in popularity of RSS. Having an RSS feed was one thing LISNews was way ahead of the curve on.
So I'm about halfway to having the old mailing list moved over to the new slashcode. For those of you on the mailing list (The headlines that come out Mon Wed and Fri) hopefully my messages made some sense. If not, let me try again.
The way I see it, LISNews is made up of 2 parts at the moment. The web site, and the mailing lists. The lists (there's 2, one 3 times a week, and one weekly) have been around for a few years. Originally I hacked some code together, and lately they've been running on a program called ezmlm (it's like Listserv, but free). There's still about 1800 people on the 2 lists. The problem is those lists still take up no small amount of time for me. So I need to move those names into the slashcode, and then change the slashcode daily mailer code to just go out on Monday Wednesday and Friday. I won't even pretend I could make a weekly option at this point.
So far I'm able to create a new user account from a file, and I've almost got it emailing the password and user name. Once I get that working I need to hack the slashcode mailing function, and then import all the names from the lists into slashcode.
Someone who knows PERL and Slashcode could've done this in an hour or 2, but it takes some time for me to do things with Slashcode still, so I hope to have this done some time next week, if I'm lucky. The goal is to have it done before I go to Hawaii. The hidden goal are to make my life easier.
Browsing the list of 466 User Accounts we already have at LISNews the names are quite amusing. Here's a few of my favorites:
Fang-Face (he's so scary sounding), bibliothecarius, TechKase, soy_mustang (just cuz it's so funny sounding), Onehander (could mean anything I suppose), madcow, libdir, Zed (Canadian?), drweb, RudeAmy (Understanding is the first step towards the cure), librarybunny (cute), hahahaha, honky, j_at_work (Hardly working I assume), cdnlibrarian (Eh?), swampthing, SpinsterLibrarian, angrythoat (Scary), ChrisTheCat (meow), InfoWhale, pamplemousse, Fez the Barbarian Li (Damn, cut short), bbbbbbb1 (Stutter?), artlibrarian, literarylion (Roar), masterbation, bookworm4321, Jonas (Reminds me of that Weezer song), Original Cyn, surfer rosa (Pixies), Another Aaron (If at first you don't succeed), Biblia, the Warrior , Eclectic Researcher, privacybarbie, lucky, BubblyBookGrrl (Just sounds so friendly), librlord, scary , The Federalist, chattykathy, bookmarm, librarian (It took 300+ people to think of that one?), Esmeralda, maxpower (Strap yourself in and feel the G's!), Mock Turtle, Infoweasel, Gonzo Librarian, andhow, SmartRat, aah, miraclesdaily (Good description of what we all do), SkinnyPimp , hihuhiuhiu, tomeboy , librarymary, themom, map (Keeping it simple), GeekLib, shelfmouse, Meteor, waterdragon (There be Dragons here), and last but not least....infodiva, which is the actual last account at the moment.
Follow the big red arrow, the time and date are wrong, but location is correct:
43 days till I "tie the knot", and 45 days till we honeymoon in Hawaii!
I should have a laptop with me, and I'll be sure to have extra people around to baby sit LISHost & LISNews during my time on the islands.
I'm hoping that we'll be able to set up some kind of web cam for the wedding, there'll be at least 3 LISNewsterz there, possibly more, so it might be somewhat interesting to watch. Then again, probably not, but I may be able to set something up.
Never fight the urge to Buy Me A Present.
Password Rage is a fact of life I suppose. I am trying to figure out how many username/passwords I need to keep track of.
I have 2 for work.
2 for AOL.
1 for another mail account.
3 for LISNews mail.
1 for my personal shell account
Root @ LISHost
3 different MySQL accounts
3 different LISNews accounts
2 websites I use often (Mefi & Slashdot)
Several others that are not used often
1 for the home linux box
Another few at OSU
eBlake.com gives me 3 more
Assorted other accounts on one of 2 servers.
I dunno, what's that...about a million?
Here's my secret... NONE of them are the same! I am not lazy when it comes to passwords, or other security, and it's a bit of a challenge to keep them all correct in my head sometimes. Most of them are 5 or 6 letters/numbers long as well.
No use in complaining as it's the only way we can keep things secure at this point.
Busy Week!
Job #1 right now is to figure out why the same stories keep coming up on the metamod page.
I need to make a better page that lists the RSS feeds I think.
I'll be sending out a request for editors soon I hope, each editor will get a section.
Still need to write up the XB email.
I think the older stories might still need a bit of help. A search by topic fails for some reason.
The old polls and comments are still lost in the old Db.
The mailing lists are still seperated.
Still need to kill the edit link.
Categories for the vars? How I'd do that remains to be seen.
Figure out the contact us thing.
Can I have a form to allow people to contact other people?
Need to do the ENT feeds for Shifty, and the RSS to email thing for Stuffy.
Stats? The numbers are still lower than a couple months ago, but maybe it's just that time of the year?
I've bump started the moderation by giving everyone who has posted a comment points.
The old quotes are now working! Damn that was a pain.
docs are updated nicely, the FAQ, authors help file, and Moderation FAQ have been rewritten.
Hits display on the stories. It doesn't seem to be at all accurate... but it's better than nothing.
The User List is much improved.
Most 404's have been fixed.
Killed relocate.
Added links and # of user accounts to login for me.
The RSS Leaks have all been plugged now I think. No more sneak peaks!
I figured out to edit just section templates.
I rewrote the About Us Page.
There's now a contact us form. I should've just done it that way to begin with, until I figure out how to make a new "real" one.
Cleaned up the duplicate topics.
Adding links to each section.
Added links to all the current feeds, and added a couple new feeds.
Fixed the stats page, I think all us authors should be able to see it.
Overall, things are still ok. Some days I just want to do "rm -rf *" but it's coming along. I am slowly, very slowly beginning to understand the code. I hope with the moderation points scattered about we'll see more people participating.
Less than 2 months left till I get married.
So week three has brought few changes. I am rather dumb when it comes to makes any changes on this code yet, there's still a rather long list of things to do. A couple of interesting things.
1. There's about a million (well it feels like it) RSS feeds now. Thanks to the new sections that I've added, each one adds a new feed. Speaking of the new sections...
2. My big idea with the new sections, each with it's own URL, will be to have "editors" take care of each section. Now I need to finish up adding sections, and find some editors. Speaking of people posting stuff...
3. How 'bout those journals?! Getting used much more than I had though, already. Interesting posts from Oghma, Surfer Rosa (is that a Pixes reference?), sabine01, Great Western Dragon is leading the pack, quite a few more good ones In There.
RTeeter let slip a little secret, bug, I need to fix.
4. It seems that it's possible to use the new code as a Discussion Board independant of the stories and journals. Interesting...
5. There are some really funny User Names so far.
6. I took a peak at the stats, and it looks like we are down about 1000 people a day since the new code started. Not as bad as I had thought.
7. Moderation is not quite working like I had hoped yet. I guess we need more users, more users with higher karma, more users metamoderating, and more comments. The moderation code doesn't seem to scale down well, or at least, I can't get it to do that yet.
8. Got a great email from XB I need to write up.
So far...so good I think. I really need someone with mad PERL skills to help me for a few hours.
Not really in any order, but here's what week 2 has given
me to do, so far:
ENT Feeds for Jen
The older stories need help still
Still some Db issues I guess with those
The old quotes are just gone right now, not sure if I can import them or not
Slowly getting there. It's still a challenge figuring how this code works, it's
much more complex than the old site.
The old polls, forgot about those till someone asked.
I'll get there, I hope, haven't even looked at that one though, maybe just a
link to the old poll code?
I need to write some decent documentation for both
authors and members
Authors is coming along, and I think members is done until
someone tells me otherwise.
Old comments, HOW TO?
ACK! This is going to give me nightmeres.
Integrate mailing lists
No, wait, this is going to give me mightmears!
What about subscriptions?
Yeah, what about them? Can this place pay for itself finally?
Make the "hits" come back to the story display
Should be simple... famous last words.
I don't like "Read/Comment..." but not sure what would
work better.
Maybe just comments?
What Karl said, the edit link is misleading. See if I
can hide that when previewing stories (authors only). [Submitted to the
Slashcode folks as a bug]
Status is fixed, so maybe I can just diff that file.
Make a
better page that lists UID's.
Damn that's ugly.
Make admin toolbar stand out more, it's easy to miss.
Just some Bold Tags should do it.
Ender filter.
Fix all those 404's via ln -s.
More or less complete
Get that "about" page rewritten
Yeah, some day.
Categories for all the vars?
Maybe ask the list for help.
Modify the moderation reasons a bit
Work with Aaron and other authors
Make HOF.pl better, or move back to the old .php one.
Might be a good file to get chops on.
Kill relocate.pl
I swear I read that somewhere.
Old stories with single and double quotes in their titles have the \ showing
Add links to Urchin, search, and mailadmin to admin tool
Now that I can do!
Tell me how many user accounts we have when I log in
Might not be too hard.
anon people to start out at 1, and
people with acocunts start out at 2 (maybe up the ceiling?). That
way, no worries about what it does with 0s and stuff. And default
viewing is at 1.
When I got hired I noticed a big red button in the corner of the library.
My boss said:
"This is the big red button. NEVER press the big read button!!"
So yesterday, I got bored, and around 4 and I figured, what the heck, lets see what the big red button does...
Someone came in this morning to install the blue button that'll take care of everything, so hold tight for a little while longer.
Note: This makes sense if a) you know where I work and b) you know what happened yesterday around 4.
Maybe google's popularity is working against it?
Compare search results for "International Book of the Month� in Teoma, All The Web, MSN, and Google.
Who won? Well, I'd say MSN lost, by far. The first few results are just way off. Paid placement?
All the web and Teoma do ok, as does google, but this search returns a couple of obviously wrong results, domain squatters, search engine spammers, not sure what to call them. Those annoying sites that exsist only to spit popup ads and crap just drive me crazy. I'm assuming people only bother with google when pulling scams like that.

No Jail Time For A True Hero
This is about as ass backwards as I can stand. Someone heroic, being vilified by their supposed brothers, for coming forward and doing what he believes is his duty to his community. This man should not have to plead for forgiveness from The Potus. This man should not only be pardoned and cleared of any wrong doing, but have his "dishonorable" stamp rescinded from his official papers, as well as an award for being quite a lot more honorable than most. Please sign this and share it. Thank you.

The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors directed staff and a board subcommittee on Tuesday to lay the groundwork for an excessive energy users tax for unincorporated areas of the county.
The proposed tax would be similar to the City of Arcata's Measure I -- a tax measure targeted at illegal indoor marijuana grows -- which implemented a 45 percent tax on residential homes in areas of the county that exceed the residential energy use baseline by 600 percent or greater.
County Administrative Officer Phillip Smith-Hanes said that about 3,000 homes served by Pacific Gas and Electric Co. in the unincorporated county area would have qualified for this tax over the last three years.
"If there had been a tax on the non-care customers last year at the 45 percent level ... the county would have generated almost $8 million from that tax," Smith-Hanes said.
Since Arcata's tax was implemented in October, Smith-Hanes said a three-month survey of data has shown a 91 percent decrease in these excessive energy users and a 65 percent decrease in the number of kilowatt hours. While this was the intention of the tax, Smith-Hanes said it also "substantially" reduced its revenue to the city. If the same effect resulted with the county's tax, Smith-Hanes said the revenue would drop from $8 million to the "$300,000 range."
Third District Supervisor Mark Lovelace said that the tax would benefit the county in three ways -- reducing environmental impacts, reducing housing stock that is "being consumed by grows" and generating revenue -- but could not have them all at once.
"That benefit plays squarely against the other two," he said. "The more of the first two benefits we realize, the less revenue we bring in."
Arcata City Councilman Michael Winkler said that Arcata's tax was made to target large illegal grows, which usually exceeded the baseline energy usage by "about 1,200 percent."
Winkler said the tax has not affected qualified medical marijuana patients who follow the law.
"Under Arcata regulations, somebody is allowed to have a maximum of 50 square feet of indoor marijuana grow," Winkler said. "According to calculations ... if someone did a maximum grow, they would be using about 200 percent over baseline alone."
Since the tax was implemented, Winkler said complaints concerning large-scale grow houses "have virtually disappeared."
With there being "no such thing as an excessive energy use tax," and Measure I only implementing a "differential rate" within Arcata's existing utility users tax, Smith-Hanes said the county would have to start from scratch.
"The county has never had a utility users tax in the unincorporated area, so we'll need to do some legal research about that," Smith-Hanes said.
Second District Supervisor Estelle Fennell voiced concern over county users reacting to the tax by dropping off the PG&E grid and obtaining energy from more environmentally harmful sources such as generators.
"This was presented as something to address impacts on the environment," Fennell said. "A big concern brought up was about ... diesel, which would have a big impact on the environment."
As the tax would have to be voted on during a general election, the board also addressed the topic on whether to make it a general purpose tax -- which would require a majority vote of the electorate -- or a special tax, which would require a two-thirds vote.
Fourth District Supervisor Virginia Bass expressed caution about implementing a new tax measure.
"We have to be very careful with what we bring forward," Bass said.
Fennell also said she wanted to know more on what the baseline rate would be for unincorporated areas and other discussed topics before deliberating on any measure.
"We've asked a few questions, but there haven't been clear answers," Fennell said. "I'd like there to be clear answers before we move forward," Fennell said.
Lovelace said that more time should be given to "get some sense of the community's receptivity to this."
The board unanimously voted to have staff and the subcommittee -- consisting of 1st District Supervisor and Board Chairman Rex Bohn and 5th District Supervisor Ryan Sundberg -- create a work plan for the tax with the goal of a measure being placed before the voters on the 2016 general election ballot.

Intractable Pain Patient's Handbook for Survival |
Intractable Pain Patient's Handbook for Survival
By: Forest Tennant, MD, DrPH
This Handbook is primarily intended for persons who have intractable pain (hereafter called IP). Others who may read this Handbook will hopefully not be shocked but gain an understanding of a relatively rare medical condition. I started my IP clinic more than 30 years ago in 1975. Since then I have learned and observed a great deal that I believe should be passed on to those afflicted with IP. Some of my current beliefs and recommendations, as time passes and science progresses, may need to be altered. Until such time, this Handbook provides the best information and knowledge I have obtained during the past 30 years in the field of intractable pain.

Tee Wolves Drop The "Ricky Tank"
After having surgery to repair his torn ACL, Ricky Rubio will hopefully be the same crowd pleaser he was last year. Dimes. No-looks. Late-game miracles. He nearly had the T'Wolves in the playoffs before going down for the year. No matter what he does though, you'll be able to rep your fandom thanks to Tee Wolves and their shirt, called the "Ricky Tank." It's not a very creative name, but hey, it's a pretty dope shirt.

Where is Bijan Khajehpour?
On June 27, Iranian business consultant Bijan Khajehpour landed at Tehran's Imam Khomeini Airport on a flight from London. His driver saw him in the arrival lounge. Bijan was paged over the loudspeaker and taken away by security men. He has not been seen for more than a month. He has had no access to lawyers. His wife and two young daughters do not know who is holding him, where or why. He is a diabetic and his family fears for his health.
Khajehpour is one of hundreds of Iranians who have been arrested since protests erupted over a disputed presidential election on June 12 in which President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was officially declared the winner. Unlike many of those locked up, he is not a political activist, a demonstrator or a journalist. Indeed, he was out of the country, giving talks to business groups in Vienna and London, at the height of the protests.
Khajehpour has dedicated the last 16 years to encouraging and helping foreign companies to invest in Iran. He founded a company, Atieh Bahar Consulting, with his wife, Pari Namazie, which advises firms on how to do business in Iran, guides them through the the Islamic Republic's thickets of red tape and explains the complex political and regulatory environment. A multilingual economist with degrees from universities and business schools in Germany, Britain and France, he has writen scholarly articles on the Iranian economy.
I first met Bijan at an oil industry conference in London in 1997 and visited him several times at his offices in Tehran. A proud patriot, he chose to return home rather than make his fortune comfortably in Europe after his studies. He explains the political economy of Iran economics with passion and an irrepressible optimism. When he is not busy promoting Iran as a business location, he is active as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Science and Arts Foundation in Iran, an NGO focusing on the empowerment of Iranian youth through information technology. An active intellectual in civil society, he has devoted his life to improving the economy, education and opportunities for poor people in his country.
Bijan is only one of the hundreds of people detained without trial in Iran in the last month. Each has a name and face, friends and a family. This is just one such tale.

Bijan Khajehpour is one of the most decent people I have ever known in my life. He is a good husband, a good father and an excellent human being. Please return him to his family as soon as possible.
I had the pleasure of having dinner with Bijan the night before he flew home to Tehran.
A brilliant calm, clever man who did nothing but delight everyone with his company, glowing with pride about his wonderful country. His candour contained no derogatory remarks about his home and all references about Iran and its people made us all want to visit and witness the amazing heritage.
He surely wasn't to know that in 24hrs the same country would behave in such a disgraceful, inhumane manner.
Now, thanks to this regime, no-one wants to visit Iran, his proud testaments are all in vain and moreover its reputation worldwide is sullied interminably through despicable acts such as this described here.
The die is cast and it'll be a long time before brilliant Iranians, like Bijan, will be able to sing out with confidence and with a full heart, the praise of Iran again.
Free Bijan Khajehpour. NOW.
I know Bijan for more than 7 years and the only thing i can say is that whatever said above is not enough in explaining how good is Bijan.
Bijan has been and i am sure still on of the best (inf not the best) ambassadors of Iran when it come to business and much more importantly, the Iranian themselves. He was always very optimistic of the future of the country and the overall region. Bijan has been utilizing every single opportunity when speaking in conferences or meeting business people in reflecting his optimism of the country.
Bijan is a very successful businessman with a PHD degree who selected to settle in Iran, his country while he can be more successful if stayed abroad. It is a shame for us, people of the region to treat our good people in the way Bijan has been treated.
Free Bijan, your best ambassador. NOW.
I lived in Iran for five years because my husband was working in Tehran for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. Bijan and Pari were among our closest friends. Bijan has done more to help the Iranian business world than anyone I know. He is bright, hardworking, and loves his country very much. He could have got a job anywhere in the world but he chose to stay in Iran. Please free him. He is a huge asset to the Islamic Republic but not only that he is kind, warm, serious and fun. We are all waiting for news.
I know Bijan Khajehpour since 20 years. Bijan is a a patriotic, ethical man, who loves Iran and worked all his life to make his country a better place.
His arrest will surely have a negative effect on foreign investment in Iran – of which Bijan was always a promoter.
I am very concerned for his health being a diabetic.

There are two main ways to get short-term help for your business. Outsourcing generally means hiring an independent consultant to perform certain services, while hiring temporary help refers to acquiring a short-term employee through a personnel service.
Independent consultants' rates may be lower than agencies would charge you for the same assistance. But going through an agency saves you the time and expense of locating temporary help. When you hire through an agency, you pay the agency directly for all services and avoid other expenses and tax worries.
"Hiring temporary help through an agency frees me from doing bookkeeping, payroll and employee taxes," says Jeff Auerbach, president of Gaithersburg, Maryland-based Replicon Inc., a biotechnology company involved in DNA diagnostics, who hired a scientific researcher through Kelly Services. "Writing a single check simplifies things and frees me to concentrate on the business."
Hiring consultants, on the other hand, can be a more complicated matter. "When you hire outside consultants, you must have them fill out a W-9, which will tell you if they're corporations or unincorporated businesses," says Dave Stevens, a CPA in Santa Fe Springs, California. "If they're unincorporated, you must issue them a 1099 at the end of the year if you've paid them more than $600 for that year."
It's also important the person you hire as an independent consultant is not actually acting as an employee, which would make you liable for taxes.
"There are certain criteria outside consultants must meet in order to be considered independent contractors by the government," says Stevens. "If you're audited and challenged and you lose, and people you paid as independent contractors are actually deemed employees, you may have to pay all employment-related taxes you should have withheld and submitted to federal and state taxing agencies, plus the employer's share of any other taxes due. This amount could run as high as 40 percent of what you paid them, plus penalties and interest."
The IRS has a 19-question checklist called "Employer's Supplemental Tax Guide" to help you determine whether a person is an independent contractor or an employee. The checklist can be downloaded from the IRS' Web site (http://www.irs.ustreas.gov).

text: BRAYBray is situated on State Highway 29, nine miles due east of Marlow in north-central Stephens County. The town lies between Clear Creek Lake and Lake Fuqua. The local post office was designated in November 1908, with the community taking the last name of the first postmaster, Thomas W. Bray. In 1909 Bray supported a general store, a blacksmith, a constable, a physician, and two teachers, as well as four grain and livestock enterprises. Ten years later the town had a grist mill, general store, grocery, and restaurant, in addition to a Union church and public school. The unincorporated community continued through the next five decades with its cotton gin, a small store and post office, all located along the highway, forming a small central business district. In addition to cotton farming, oil and gas activity attracted much attention over the years. In 1977 members of the Bray community incorporated the town to avoid annexation by Marlow or Duncan. Encompassing a total of sixty-six square miles, larger than many major cities, the town had a main street that extended for eight miles. Despite the expansive city limits, the town remained overwhelmingly rural. In the late 1910s Bray had an unofficial population of 55. At the time of its incorporation in the mid-1970s the number stood at 650. Included in the federal census for the first time in 1980, the population had declined to 591. A significant boom occurred in the following decade, as by 1990 the town claimed 925 citizens. This number continued to climb, and in 2000 there were 1,035 persons residing within the city limits. The town has never had a local newspaper. Most residents worked in nearby larger towns.
