Was Key Grand Jury Witness in Michael Brown Case a Racist, Mentally Ill, Lying Ex-Felon?
As protests continue across the country over the police killing of Michael Brown, new questions are being raised about the grand jury that failed to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson for shooting Brown. Many questions center on a woman identified in the grand jury documents simply as "Witness 40." She told the grand jury that Brown charged at Wilson "like a football player." Earlier this week, the website TheSmokingGun.com identified Witness 40 as Sandra McElroy. The website described her as a "bipolar Missouri woman with a criminal past who has a history of making racist remarks and once insinuated herself into another high-profile St. Louis criminal case with claims that police eventually dismissed as a 'complete fabrication.'" It now appears McElroy may have lied about witnessing the shooting, which occurred 30 miles from her home. On Tuesday, Rev. Al Sharpton said the report about Witness 40 gave new hope to the Brown family. He told the New York Daily News it shows the grand jury was "not a fair process." We speak about the case with TheSmokingGun.com editor William Bastone. He is the lead author of the article exposing the identity of Witness 40.
The Destabilization of Pakistan: Tariq Ali on Taliban School Massacre & U.S. Afghan War Blowback
We begin today's show in Pakistan, where people in the northwestern city of Peshawar are burying their dead after a Taliban attack at a school killed at least 145 people — including 132 children — in the Taliban's deadliest attack to date. According to the Pakistani army, Tuesday's attack was carried out by seven Taliban attackers against the Army Public School, which both military and civilian girls and boys attend. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has declared three days of mourning and convened a meeting of all parliamentary parties in Peshawar to discuss the response to the attack. The army has reportedly launched attacks at militants in the region. The Taliban said they targeted the children of military families in retaliation for Pakistan's anti-Taliban campaign in North Waziristan. We speak to British-Pakistani political commentator Tariq Ali and Asad Hashim, Al Jazeera English web correspondent in Pakistan.

Mike Gravel to Senator Mark Udall: Make Full Torture Probe Public Like I Did with Pentagon Papers
On the Senate floor last week, outgoing Democratic Sen. Mark Udall called for a purge of top CIA officials implicated in the torture program and cover-up, including current Director John Brennan. But as he enters the final days of his Senate term, Udall is facing calls to take action of his own. The Senate findings released last week amount to only a fraction of the full report — 480 heavily redacted pages out of more than 6,000 pages total. The White House has blocked the report's full release in deference to the CIA's wishes. That's sparked demands that Udall invoke a rarely used congressional privilege and make the report public. There is precedent for him to follow: In 1971, then-Alaska Senator Mike Gravel entered more than 4,000 pages of the 7,000-page Pentagon Papers into the Senate record, insisting the public had a right to know the truth behind the Vietnam War. More than four decades later, Gravel joins us to talk about his historic action and why he is now calling on Udall to follow in his footsteps with the full Senate report on CIA torture.
"Psychological Torture is Enshrined in U.S. Law": Complicity in Abuses Began Long Before Bush
As President Obama continues to reject a criminal probe of torture in the George W. Bush administration, former Vice President Dick Cheney has said he has no regrets about the torture of foreign prisoners, including innocent people. Speaking to NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, Cheney said, "I'd do it again in a minute." Cheney's claim highlights a key question: Are top officials above the law — and will the impunity of today lead to more abuses in the future? We discuss the issue of impunity and the history of U.S. torture with Alfred McCoy, professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and author of the books, "A Question of Torture: CIA Interrogation, from the Cold War to the War on Terror," as well as "Torture and Impunity: The U.S. Doctrine of Coercive Interrogation." We are also joined by Steven Reisner, founding member of the Coalition for an Ethical Psychology and psychological ethics adviser to Physicians for Human Rights.
After Duo Created CIA Torture Methods, Did World's Largest Group of Psychologists Enable Abuses?
As a psychologist identified as the "architect" of the CIA's torture program admits he personally waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, we look at allegations that the American Psychological Association — the largest association of psychologists in the world — secretly colluded with U.S. abuses. Speaking to Vice News, retired Air Force psychologist James Mitchell confirmed for the first time he personally waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Mitchell was hired to help create the interrogation program along with his partner, Dr. Bruce Jessen. The Senate report says Mitchell and Jessen were paid $81 million to help design the CIA's torture methods, including some of the most abusive tactics. The Senate's findings come as the American Psychological Association has launched a review to determine whether its leadership also played a role in CIA torture. The APA's probe was prompted by revelations from Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times investigative reporter James Risen. In his new book, "Pay Any Price," Risen reveals how after the Abu Ghraib torture scandal, the APA formed a task force that enabled the continued role of psychologists in the torture program. There has been a deep division within the APA's policy on interrogations for years. Unlike the American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association, the APA never prohibited its members from being involved in interrogations.
We are joined by two guests: Steven Reisner, a founding member of the Coalition for an Ethical Psychology and psychological ethics adviser to Physicians for Human Rights; and Alfred McCoy, professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and author of "A Question of Torture: CIA Interrogation, from the Cold War to the War on Terror," as well as "Torture and Impunity: The U.S. Doctrine of Coercive Interrogation."

Emissions-Cutting Deal Reached at COP 20 Lima, But Will It Help Prevent Catastrophic Climate Change?
After more than 30 hours of extended talks, a global agreement on climate change was reached over the weekend at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Lima, Peru. Negotiators from nearly 200 countries agreed to a new deal that forms the basis for a global agreement on addressing climate change. Supporters say it marks the first time all nations have agreed to cut back on carbon emissions. The final draft says all countries have "common but differentiated responsibilities" to deal with global warming. The countries most dissatisfied with the outcome in Lima were those who are poor and already struggling to rebuild from the impacts of climate change. We host a roundtable with guests from three continents: in Peru, Suzanne Goldenberg, U.S. environment correspondent for The Guardian; in London, Asad Rehman, head of international climate for Friends of the Earth; and in New Delhi, Nitin Sethi, associate editor at Business Standard.
Black Youth-Organized Millions March NYC Draws Tens of Thousands in Movement's Biggest Protest Yet
Saturday's nationwide actions against police killings and racial profiling included a "Millions March" that drew tens of thousands to the streets of New York City. It was the largest single protest of the post-Ferguson movement and the culmination of daily actions in New York City since a grand jury elected not to indict the police officer who killed Eric Garner. After gathering in Washington Square Park, a massive crowd spanned dozens of city blocks as it marched uptown before turning around and closing at police headquarters downtown. Democracy Now!'s Aaron Maté and Samantha Riddell were in the streets to speak to the protesters who came out, and the young black organizers who made it happen.
Why Are Our Sons Gunned Down? Parents of Black Victims of Police Killings Lead D.C. March
Tens of thousands marched across the country on Saturday in the largest day of protest since the killing of Michael Brown set off a national movement four months ago. From Oakland to New York City, protesters called for indictments in the case of police officers who have killed unarmed African Americans and broader reforms to policing and criminal justice. In Washington, D.C., the families of slain African Americans led a rally and march on the White House. More than 10,000 people took part. We hear from Michael Brown Sr. and Lesley McSpadden, the parents of Michael Brown; Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner; Samaria Rice, the mother Tamir Rice; John Crawford Jr., the father of John Crawford III; Kimberly Ballinger, the partner of Akai Gurley; and Kadiatou Diallo, the mother of Amadou Diallo.

Activists: Climate Talks Have Done Nothing to Avert Catastrophe, But Hope Lies in People's Action
We wrap up our week-long coverage from Lima at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, where negotiators are hours away from the formal end of the talks. "If developed countries don't put down the resources that the poor countries need to prepare for climate change to protect themselves from the real impacts they are facing already, then you are going to leave poor people around the world facing hunger, facing increasing poverty without being able to cope," says Winnie Byanyima, executive director of Oxfam. "Yet they didn't create the crisis of climate change, and they don't have the means of solving the problem of climate change on their own. So it is an issue of justice, an issue of human rights." We also speak with Dipti Bhatnagar, climate justice and energy coordinator at Friends of the Earth International, who helped plan a die-in at COP20 to call attention to those ignored in the global agreement under negotiation.
Pipe Dreams? Labor Researchers Say Keystone XL Project May Kill More Jobs Than It Creates
While the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has claimed that the proposed Keystone XL pipeline would create 250,000 jobs, labor researchers say the jobs figures have been vastly distorted. We speak to Sean Sweeney, director and founder of the Global Labor Institute at Cornell University, and Bruce Hamilton, vice president of Amalgamated Transit Union.
As Fossil Fuel Divestment Movement Grows, U.N. Negotiators Consider a "Zero Emissions" Future
For the first time ever, delegates at the U.N. Climate Change Conference are talking about entirely phasing out fossil fuels by 2050, setting up a showdown with the energy industry that profits from their extraction. We speak to Jamie Henn of 350.org about the state of the U.N. talks, the world's growing divestment movement, and President Obama's comments casting doubt on the Keystone XL this week on "The Colbert Report."
Silencing Dissent: U.N. Bars Climate Protesters from Putting "Keystone," "Kerry" or "U.S." on Signs
We speak with youth activist Alyssa Johnson-Kurts of the group SustainUS about rules at the United Nations Climate Change Conference that require protesters to submit banners and slogans for approval. She says the regulations bar mention of specific names, officials and projects. "We tried to submit a banner that would have an arrow with Keystone XL in one direction and a liveable future in the other direction, and they rejected that proposal," Johnson-Kurts says. Civil society faces increasing separation from what takes place inside the conference. "The irony of course is that very few restrictions are placed on the fossil fuel companies that come here," notes our guest Jamie Henn, co-founder and communications director of the climate group 350.org.
Former VP Al Gore Urges Obama to Reject Keystone XL as Kerry, Top U.S. Negotiator Stay Mum
With an impassioned plea for climate action on Thursday, Secretary of State John Kerry is the highest-ranking U.S. official to attend the annual U.N. Climate Change Conference since President Obama took part in the 2009 Copenhagen talks. While Kerry spoke for 30 minutes, he never addressed an issue on the minds of many: the proposed Keystone XL tar sands oil pipeline. Kerry must make a final recommendation to Obama about whether the $8 billion pipeline should be approved. Amy Goodman speaks to former Vice President Al Gore, who attended Kerry's speech, about why he wants Obama to reject the Keystone XL. She then tries to raise the issue with Kerry and top U.S. climate negotiator Todd Stern, but both refuse to answer.
"We are on a Course Leading to Tragedy": At U.N. Talks, Kerry Delivers Urgent Plea on Climate Change
The United Nations Climate Change Conference in Lima, Peru, has entered its final day of scheduled talks. Deep divisions remain between wealthy and developing nations on emission cuts and over how much the world's largest polluters should help poorer nations address climate change. On Thursday, Secretary of State John Kerry flew into Lima and made an impassioned plea for all nations to work for an ambitious U.N. climate deal next year in Paris. Kerry said time is running out to reverse "a course leading to tragedy."

Peru's Deadly Environment: Host Nation of U.N. Summit is Among Most Dangerous for Land Defenders
The United Nations Climate Conference is being held in Peru, which is now the world's fourth most dangerous country for environmental defenders. Four were killed in September alone. In a brutal incident in a remote region of Peru's Amazon rainforest, leading indigenous activist Edwin Chota was ambushed as he traveled to neighboring Brazil for a meeting on how to address the region's illegal logging crisis. Illegal loggers allegedly killed and dismembered Chota along with his colleagues Jorge Ríos, Francisco Pinedo and Leoncio Quinticima. Chota is among at least 57 environmental activists who have been assassinated in Peru since 2002. The Peruvian government has recently passed legislation that rolls back forest protections, which has increased the pace of such murders. We are joined by Chris Moye, the environmental governance campaigner for Global Witness and author of their new report, "Peru's Deadly Environment."
Peruvian Protester: My Brother Was Disappeared in 1993 at El Pentagonito, the Site of Climate Summit
The U.N. climate summit in Lima is being held at the Peruvian army headquarters, known as "El Pentagonito." It is a site with a dark history, built in 1975 by the dictator Juan Velasco Alvarado. The army, under President Alberto Fujimori, later used the base to torture and interrogate political prisoners. We speak with Marly Anzualdo Castro, whose brother, Kenneth Anzualdo Castro, was disappeared in 1993 during Fujimori's reign. Last year, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights determined the state was responsible for Kenneth's forced disappearance. To this date, his whereabouts remain unknown. Anzualdo Castro joined Wednesday's climate march in Lima holding a sign reading "No Olvidamos," which means "We don't forget." Anzualdo Castro says her brother was committed to student activism. "I join young people today [at the climate protest] because my brother had that spirit," Anzualdo Castro says. "So for me it is a way to see him alive now."

Is it better to store everyday glasses in the cleanup area where they would be easier to put away? Or near the fridge (opposite sides of kitchen with an island in between)? I was thinking of maybe putting my glasses (pint glasses, small juice glasses, and kids plastic cups) in the island across from the fridge. I will have a 30" 3-drawer stack there. I could put the glasses in the middle drawer and the plastic kids cups in the bottom drawer. That way there when people went to the fridge for a drink they would have the glasses/cups right there too. This is all new to me since I've always put glasses/cups in upper cabinets. But then my kids are always hounding me to get them a cup... My layout |

- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Fri, Mar 15, 13 at 9:46
We have both....every day drinking glasses are closer to the clean up area...bar glasses such as wine glasses and rocks glasses are in the bar area which is closer to the fridge. |
- Posted by karen_belle (My Page) on Fri, Mar 15, 13 at 10:14
Our layout looks a lot like yours. The width of our kitchen, from window to opposite wall, is ~13'. We have our glasses by the fridge, close to the kitchen table. There is a narrow island between that cabinet and our d/w, but it is only four steps to put away glasses, not so bad, really. I like having the glasses out of the way of the cooking and cleanup. |
Thanks. I am thinking I can just unload glasses from the dishwasher to the top of the island and then walk to the other side and put them all away. |
- Posted by karen_belle (My Page) on Fri, Mar 15, 13 at 11:13
Here's our floorplan (reality diverges slightly from this layout - our island sink is at the end near the table, not the middle). I just walk the glasses 4 at a time over to the cabinet where they are kept (the uppers are shown as the dashed line btwn the fridge and pantry). It's not a big deal. We do have the plates stored in uppers right above the dishwasher. I like that a lot. |
Our set up is the same as yours. We put our glasses in the pantry next to the fridge for the same reason; ice, water and drinks are all right there. It was an adjustment when unloading d/w, but we now do the same as you mentioned, unload unto the island and walk around and put away. I feel the convenience of having glasses handy by the fridge far outweighs the inconvenience of unloading across the island. |
- Posted by liriodendron (My Page) on Fri, Mar 15, 13 at 12:01
You can have a tray or basket handy for moving the glasses en masse from DW to storage. This issue highlights the thing I was trying to express previously: The arrangement (originally driven by the mega-fridge plan, now abandonned) of having the fridge separated from the sink with the island in between and the stove on the other wall is driving this problem, as well as lother efficient function concerns. The other advantage is that with the range on the wall where the sink is now, the present orientation of the island would be improved, i.e. you would have the long dimension opposite your range so it will function more conveniently as an added prep area. When the short dimension of an island is opposite a big action zone like the range you have to walk around the corner to get access to a wider space for prep. It just isn't as useful to be on a short end compared to being naturally placed on the long axis. (This is driven by the length of our arms.) Also people (non-cooks) intent on getting a drink from the fridge would stay completely out of the aisle between island and range - they would naturally just take the straight pathway to the fridge. You could also put the glasses in a drawer on the the upper left corner (where prep sink is now) of the island, right at hand, convenient to both DW (though not in the the DW cab run) and the fridge. The arrangement you have now creates a barrier island where almost every task means you'll be running around the island to get from one work zone to another. As I look at your plan, I see a generously sized room that is that has morphed into a functional design problem because there is too much geography between the action zones. Without the island, in a much smaller space, this would not be as big a deal because there would be straight diagonal pathways (across an open middle) between the fridge/sink/cooker areas. Islands are useful, attractive, and very popular now, but adding one completely changes the way you have to think about planning a kitchen layout. On the upside, all that meal-prep trekking will burn off more calories so you can have a bigger piece of pie for dessert! You could still use the fridge/pantry wall for pantry storage . It would make unloading the stuff from the store easy: you could plunk the bags on the island, and working in that aisle feint left or right as dictated by dry or cold storage. You could also have narrower-than-normal pantry storage along that wall and add some seating on the island (IIRC you were thinking about that at one point.) HTH L. |
My daughter has her glasses by the fridge (on other side of the kitchen and island) and it is a PAIN to have to make multiple trips back and forth when unloading DW. Whereas, a person wanting a drink would only have to make ONE trip to get the glass, and go to the fridge. AND, it would be nice to ENCOURAGE the kids, DH, etc. to re-use the same glass (usually just used for water), instead of getting a new glass for each new sip of water! |
Liriodendren - sounds nice but my husband will not be up for moving the sink. i am just surprised since I went over this plan for years here and the layout has never stood out as a big problem either. I'm thinking about what you said though! |
- Posted by karen_belle (My Page) on Fri, Mar 15, 13 at 14:26
One thing I noticed about your layout that liriodendren's post made me reexamine is the location of your M/W. We've put ours in the pantry cabinet by the kitchen table. We also keep our storage containers (plastic containers, bags, etc.) in a drawer in this same zone, so putting leftovers away into the fridge is done right there. We primarily use the m/w for reheating leftovers, and this activity can be done without going anywhere near the clean-up sink or the cooktop. I like it. I think I see room in your layout to move the m/w out of the work zone, too. |
I feel like the M/W is out of the work zone. Its in that corner and seems out of the way to me. Where would you put it? |
- Posted by karen_belle (My Page) on Fri, Mar 15, 13 at 15:21
It's out of the cooking and cleaning work zone, but it's far away from the table. Who will be using the m/w? When will they be using it? For what purpose? For us it is primarily to reheat leftovers for lunch or whatever. Sometimes for making popcorn. Sometimes for preparing an ingredient for cooking (melt butter, defrost an item). I put it close to the table where we eat. Easy access to the fridge and freezer, close to the eating zone and completely out of the traffic of the kitchen. I would suggest that you can find a place for it in your deep pantry cabinet right next to your fridge, or on the end of your cabinet run on the window wall. Of course, that assumes that your use of the m/w is similar to mine. |
- Posted by breezygirl (My Page) on Fri, Mar 15, 13 at 15:40
Ditto what Liriodendron said. I didn't see your layout post before, but you've created the classic "barrier island" where you must walk around your island every time you want to get t the fridge and go to the sink to prep. That would drive me bonkers. It's the reason many I know IRL remodel their kitchens. |
- Posted by breezygirl (My Page) on Fri, Mar 15, 13 at 15:41
Oh wait.....is that a prep sink sans faucet on the island across from the range? If so, ignore my comments. And maybe Liriodendron's. :) |
Just as an alternate perspective, we have a similar configuration and really like it, despite all the warnings I got about barrier islands. :) (We went with a work table setup in part because of the cautions about a permanent island there, but have never moved it in 2+ years.) Our kitchen is only 13' wide, though, so that may help--it's not that far to walk around it. I do find I set things from the fridge on the island as I'm getting ready, and then go to the sink or stove or wherever. I prep a lot on the island and in the L in between sink and stove, and both work well. Mock it up and see if it works in your space. We keep glasses next to the fridge, and when I empty the dishwasher, I sometimes collect them on the island and then put them away. The island would work equally well for storage if ours had closed storage (but it doesn't and we have a toddler, so sadly can't keep anything breakable there!) It's pretty second nature at this point, and very convenient for getting drinks from the fridge. We keep our toaster oven next to the fridge too and think that works well because the things getting cooked or toasted are coming out of the fridge or freezer 9 times out of 10. If we had a microwave, I'd put it there for the same reason, but YMMV depending on how you use it, of course! |
I hated having my glasses all the way across the kitchen from the DW. My new kitchen is perfect for us. In our new kitchen, the DW is to left of sink. Storage for plates, glasses, silverware is to the right of the sink. In our case, the fridge is not far from this area. But most of the time, you are grabbing a glass or 2 for drinks(maybe a few more for kids) vs unloading 10-12 glasses. So, my vote is to keep the glasses close to the DW. |

Pretty sure he didn't refuse to sign with us, it was likely he and the GM had a talk and he told him he was considering school over hockey. At that point it was likely a mutual agreement.
The Habs never offered a contract in 2010. They did offer him a contract when he first was drafted, which like I said earlier, he didn't sign because he wanted to stay in University. I'm guessing this is a standard move by organizations drafting highly rated NCAA players to ensure that if the player doesn't develop, they aren't left empty handed. Offer a contract you know won't be signed, let the player develop. If he doesn't, get a compensation from the league using a "loop hole" (if a 1st round pick refuses to sign a contract, the organization gets an equivalent 2nd round pick in the next draft).
So when 2010 came around, and it was time to sign him or let him go, they chose not to sign him. He wasn't doing good, and they benefited from the fact that they had already offered a contract before to be able to ask the league for a compensation, when in reality, he was perfectly willing to sign with the Habs at that point.
He's still playing hockey. The ECHL is a full time job. So I don't think it's about his passion or his will to commit to hockey.

Dave's Reviews > Mormon Enigma: Emma Hale Smith
Mormon Enigma: Emma Hale Smith
by Linda King Newell, Valeen Tippetts Avery

Dave's review
bookshelves: read-in-2010, religion, biography
Apr 18, 10
bookshelves: read-in-2010, religion, biography
Read from February 06 to April 18, 2010
The parts that actually focused on Emma were illuminating, and the historical research seemed honest, both in its conclusions and the transparency of its bias (something I wish more church history texts would do). However, major parts of this book were simple recapitulations of general church history, and while I understand the need to provide context to Emma's life, some of the connections were strained, to say the least.

January 28: Scott Skinner-Thomson // Outing Privacy ABSTRACT: The government regularly outs information concerning people's sexuality, gender identity, and HIV-status. Notwithstanding the implications of such outings, the Supreme Court has yet to answer whether the Constitution contains a right to informational privacy—a right to limit the government's ability to collect and disseminate personal information. In fact, the Court has on three occasions reluctantly "assumed" that there is such a right without authoritatively recognizing the right or defining its contours. This Article probes informational privacy theory and jurisprudence in order to better understand why the judiciary has been reluctant to fully embrace a robust constitutional right to informational privacy. In short, the Article argues that while existing theories of informational privacy beneficially encourage us to broadly imagine the right and its possibilities, often focusing on informational privacy's ability to promote individual dignity and autonomy, there is often a disconnect when courts attempt to translate current theories into workable doctrine. The Article reorients and hones the focus of the purported right to informational privacy toward what the Due Process Clause suggests as the right's two principal and more concrete values: preventing intimate, personal information from serving as the basis for potential discrimination and creating space for the formation of political thought. By so doing, not only is a more precise theory of informational privacy constructed, but, instrumentally (and perhaps most importantly), courts will be more apt to recognize a constitutional informational privacy right and individuals will be better insulated from discrimination or marginalization on the basis of their intimate information or political beliefs.

This right to be forgotten was officially proposed in 2012 by the European Commission as a new element of the EU data protection rules. I will discuss the policy backgrounds of this proposal for a strengthened right to erasure and in particular its relation to new types of publicity facilitated by online intermediaries (search engines and social media in particular). As is clear from an analysis of the proposal which I recently conducted for the European Commission (attached as background) the right to be forgotten has captured the attention of many but fails to address let alone solve the hard issues on the interface of data privacy law, media law and intermediary liability regulations. While the EC proposal may actually be considered 'a right to be forgotten', the underlying questions of how to regulate personal data in online services remain. October 9: Katherine Strandburg // "Freedom of Association Constraints on Metadata Surveillance" ABSTRACT: Documents leaked this past summer confirm that the National Security Agency has acquired access to a huge database of domestic call traffic data, revealing information about times, dates, and numbers called. Although communication content traditionally has been the primary focus of concern about overreaching government surveillance, officials are increasingly interested in using sophisticated computer analysis of noncontent traffic data to "map" networks of associations. Despite the rising importance of digitally mediated association, current Fourth Amendment and statutory schemes provide only weak checks on government. The potential to chill association through overreaching relational surveillance is great. This Article argues that the First Amendment's freedom of association guarantees can and do provide a proper framework for regulating relational surveillance and suggests how these guarantees might apply to particular forms of analysis of traffic data. October 16: Seda Güerses // "Privacy is Don't Ask, Confidentiality is Don't Tell" ABSTRACT: Since the end of the 60s, computer scientists have engaged in research on privacy and information systems. Over the years, this research has led to a whole palette of "privacy solutions''. These solutions originate from diverse sub-fields of computer science, e.g., security engineering, databases, software engineering, HCI, and artificial intelligence. From a bird's eye view, all of these researchers are studying privacy. However, a closer look reveals that each community of researchers relies on different, sometimes even conflicting, definitions of privacy, and on a variety of social and technical assumptions. These researchers do have a tradition of assessing the (implicit) definitions and assumptions that underlie the studies in their respective sub-disciplines. However, a systematic evaluation of privacy research practice across the different computer science communities is so far absent. I hope to contribute to closing this research gap by presenting the preliminary results of an empirical study of privacy research in computer science. October 23: Brian Choi // "The Third-Party Doctrine and the Required-Records Doctrine: Informational Reciprocals, Asymmetries, and Tributaries" ABSTRACT: Even as many have assailed the third-party doctrine and predicted its impending demise, few have heeded the parallel threat posed by the required-records doctrine. Although the third-party doctrine has been widely criticized as an overbroad exception to the Fourth Amendment, defining a coherent limiting principle has proved exceedingly difficult. The popular "mosaic" theory explains how the aggregation of many seemingly insignificant pieces of data from third parties can reveal comprehensive pictures of private activity ordinarily shielded by the Fourth Amendment. Yet, the inherent paradox of the mosaic theory is that it undercuts the project of distinguishing between third-party data that should be accessible without judicial warrant and third-party data that should not. Likewise, the required-records doctrine—which excludes records kept in compliance with general purpose recordkeeping requirements from the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination—has been so troubling that it has remained largely dormant since its creation. Efforts to construct a coherent limiting principle have been similarly lacking. Nevertheless, a recent set of tax enforcement cases has resuscitated the required-records doctrine and extended it to compel production of offshore bank account records from individual taxpayers. It is no coincidence that the third party doctrine also grew out of a tax enforcement case, holding that individual taxpayers may not shield financial records held by third-party banks. Three insights can be drawn from the project. The first is a warning that the required records doctrine is poised to follow in the footsteps of the third party doctrine. In both contexts, many of the early cases involved requests for financial records needed to prove tax evasion. With the third party doctrine, those early cases quickly generalized to encompass any document in the possession of a third party, including phone records, loan records, medical records, and more. With the required records doctrine, there is a similar shoddiness in the governing standard that would easily allow the same scope creep. If we dislike the current state of the third party doctrine, we should be wary of retracing the same steps under a different guise. Second, the juxtaposition provides a frame for unraveling our discomfort with both the required records doctrine and the third party doctrine. The easy cases might be those involving data that is readily obtainable through both avenues (e.g., duplicate records such as pay stubs or insurance forms), and those that are off limits under both doctrines (e.g., private diaries). On the other hand, the most vexing cases might be those involving data that can be obtained only through one avenue but not the other—allowing the government to pit one Amendment against another. For example, in the moment where a document is required but has not yet been created, that document still exists in thought only; the required records doctrine could demand it but the third party doctrine would not be able to reach it. That asymmetry also explains our discomfort with commercial aggregators who collect massive databases of personal information that the required records doctrine could never demand. Finally, the required records doctrine is a direct tributary of the third party doctrine, and has played a key role in shaping its watershed. Because business entities cannot assert the Fifth Amendment privilege, many businesses are automatically subject to recordkeeping and reporting requirements. Since the required data can include information about customers or other private citizens, the required records doctrine multiplies the potency of the third party doctrine. ABSTRACT: How we might interdisciplinarily think through the social, legal, technical, and ethical issues that arise when new technologies create unexpected connections and people get implicated/harmed in cases outside of their control. To do so, we will offer a framework for thinking about networked harm and briefly lay out three cases that we think offer interesting contours for conversation (Maryland v. King, Google's Gmail litigation, and CA SB568). Questions on the table: Are our current models of harm are too limited for thinking through cases where new technologies implicate people in new ways?; How do we get past property models that focus on joint rights when thinking of people being implicated in each other's data traces?; What are good frameworks for moving from an individual-centric model of harm to a network-based one? November 6: Karen Levy // "Beating the Box: Digital Enforcement and Resistance" ABSTRACT: I'll be presenting some research from my dissertation, which (broadly) explores digital enforcement strategies – the use of technologies in place or in support of traditional human rule enforcement regimes as a means to enact more 'perfect' behavioral regulation over subjects. Specifically, my research concerns new federal regulations mandating the electronic monitoring of long-haul truck drivers' work time. Last year in PRG, I talked about how the organizational knowledge practices of trucking firms change around the proliferation of monitoring devices and divest truckers of occupational autonomy. This time around, I'd like to focus on two different areas: First, I explore how truckers (and others) resist monitoring using a variety of technical and organizational strategies, including physical tampering, data manipulation, and [something I'm calling] 'collaborative omission.' These tactics serve to construct new gaps between regulatory intent and social practice. But I could use your help in thinking them through in a more systematic way. Second, I consider the challenges faced by law enforcement officers—specifically, commercial vehicle inspectors—when enforcement efforts are augmented by machines. I'm finding that human/machine hybridity creates several challenges on the ground for these officers, including [something I'm calling] 'decoy compliance' among drivers that obfuscates actual legal noncompliance, as well as a last-mile problem in acquiring data from digital monitors in the trucks.

On Corporate Control of Information Flows in the Workplace" ABSTRACT: A basic question of labor law over the years has been how government can intervene to ensure that workers receive information needed to exercise their rights? A contrary concern has been what rights do property owners have under the 1st, 4th, 5th amendments and under federal labor law to restrict that information flow, both in their own interest and in interests claimed on behalf of their employees? A number of existing and proposed law by state governments—including one before the Supreme Court this term—have sought to mandate physical access to employer property to be able to contact employees and/or customers. Since the goal of unions in gaining that access is to develop a "map" of the workplace, including a strong analysis of all social networks—who is friends with whom, churches and organizations people are affiliated with, and any other useful social information—such mandated access amounts to government granting an independent party access to a range of social network information about individuals in a workplace. Obviously, employers have their own power in the workplace, so the government strengthening this de facto bottom-up data mining by unions has historically been one of the key counter weights to that corporate power in the workplace. However, the Supreme Court has in recent decades struck down requirements by the NLRB to require that unions be given access to employer property in the name of state property rights and may this term strike down a state law mandating access in the name of the first amendment rights of the employer. This tilt of the law towards protecting employer rights to control data flow in their workplace has been a key factor in weakening labor unions and, as many argue, expanding economic inequality over the last generation. An implication of this analysis is: if a rights-based framework over information in the workplace has ill-served workers, are there implications for whether a rights-based framework over privacy may ill-serve consumers and citizens in broader debates on privacy and data collection?

Tips for a safer Halloween
Question: What can I do as a parent to keep Halloween safe for my children?
Answer: Halloween is a time for people to celebrate fall and a time for children to dress up in costumes and gather candy and other treats as part of their celebration. "Trick or treating" can be a fun time, but there are some steps children and their parents/guardians should take to help keep this a safe and fun activity.

Canada is getting rid of one cent coins. (They don't have two cent coins either.)
I hear that Australia, New Zealand, Denmark and Norway have all done this a while ago. So how did it go for you? Or if you live somewhere that still has pennies or the equivalent and you've never thought about it before, what do you think of the idea?
Credit where credit is due! Give kudos or accept as solution whenever you can.
As annoying as the penny can be, I still find myself using them in the rare instances I'm paying for something with cash.
That being said, I'm also one of the few people I know who still writes checks.
An interesting tidbit from this blog post: it costs 1.6 cents to produce a penny in Canada, so they were definitely losing money to keep up penny production. Looks like it makes sense (cents? punny!) for them.
I'm sure here in the States the penny cost more to produce than it is worth but we will never be so bold to do away with it.
I also think that it is a way to gain potential tax revenue and certainly windfall (not used here as a pejorative) profit for business'. Does anyone honestly think that any cost will be rounded down to get everything to the nearest five cents?
As an aside; when the Susan B Anthony and other $1 coins made of metal were stamped they instantly became worth their face value. Therefore there are billions in $1 coins sitting in US vaults that cannot be melted down because the Tresaury would have to show a this as a loss in the ledger.
With electronic transfers and all the plastic being used; pennies, and paper $1 dollar bills, are relics that do need be retired.
Sorry $.02 cents worth
I have rarely ever used cash myself. I started working when Debit cards first became popular (late 90's) and always conduct my business through my bank, not with cash (unless for a specific reason like purchasing form a small local vendor, in which case, we give the change to our kids for their piggy banks). So, I'd be fine with getting rid of the penny and rounding to the nearest nickel in cash transactions, there would be no effect on electronic transactions.
I don't have a problem with getting rid of paper dollars either. Dollar coins are much sturdier. I did give myself a ~facepalm~ on my first trip back from England, when I changed in my paper currency, but, not my coins, and I had like 30 pound coins in with the other smaller change. I just kept them around for my next trip, which was alright, having a few dollars in my pocket for the train and a sandwich or whatever.
We currently keep a little bag of american dollar coins at home... so the tooth fairy can make a withdrawal.
I try to use pennies when I can too, for the few times I pay in cash. Figured I'd do what I can to save the mint (& taxpayers!) some money. Saves the shopkeepers too, since they have to pay for delivery of cash to keep giving people change that then disapears into jars....
Wonder if there'll be any layoffs at Brinks due to less need for them to deliver as much change?
And the puns are endless:
Canada doesn't make cents anymore.
We're all going to be penniless!
.....I'm sure there's more that have escaped me.
Credit where credit is due! Give kudos or accept as solution whenever you can.
The States does seem to be rather resistant to change doesn't it! Metrication, anyone?
Don't think I've ever seen a dollar bill. Can't imagine using paper for so small a sum. There's not going to be any paper money here either soon, it's all going plastic. I wonder how long before we have plastic coins....
And yes, certain places are saying they will always round down, so now the pressure is on others to follow suit. Officially the government recommends rounding to the nearest 5c (up or down) but there's no law on it. And as long as we have pennies they can choose to accept them in transactions, or choose not to; and choose to give them in change if they want, so there'll be a few floating around for a while.
Credit where credit is due! Give kudos or accept as solution whenever you can.
At least people on this forum seem to be sensible enough to understand how the rounding works. There's been some nutjobs thinking that every item will be rounded, and then tax added on, and then rounded again making some incomprehensible mess. You're right, no effect on electronic (or cheque) transactions, just on cash. And rounded once only, to the full total amount.
Really, if you're adding the tax at the till (my personal anoyance with North American shopping) then how many purchases work out to the even penny? So it's all being rounded already, just be a lillte more round for cash transactions.
I think we should just round everything to the nearest 10c, and abandon the last decimal place altogether. Then we can call the smallest coin 1d, same as the old English penny. 1d x 10 = $1
Credit where credit is due! Give kudos or accept as solution whenever you can.
Well, I have already seen it discussed on another cad mangler's forum, I have had the benefit of shopping overseas, and I completely agree how silly it is that America doesn't add the tax in the cost until you're paying.
Further, my husband (british/irish transplant) is irrated with the slightly different tax rates in each state (and yes, even county and town within each state). He's got a point there.
Sorry all the VAT sucks and you can keep it where you got it.
If you put the tax in the cost you never feel the pain. This is why payroll taxes are successful.
Imagine if you had to write that withholding check every month (Don't forget to double the FICA and MCARE [said with snark]).
I bet you would be asking for less of your "fair" share to be taken out; and asking with gusto.
Haven't used pennies as currency in a while, so they're being used as bases for infantry miniatures.

Valiant for Truth - Christian Education
One of the most common questions that prospective students ask is, "How do you know whether you should be a pastor?"
Seminary has been one of the best experiences for our family. Nick began attending Westminster Seminary California three months before we got married and has a year and a half left.
I have found it to be true, that as a general rule, people do not like to pay for maintenance, whether it is for their home or car, for example. Replacing the air conditioner on your home can be very costly, and after you've spent thousands of dollars, at least on the surface, you don't have much to show for it.
When my college boyfriend (now husband) Eric told me he was changing his graduate school plans from law school to seminary I was surprised, but surprisingly unresistant. I certainly had no idea what I was getting myself into. As I adjusted to the idea, I explored his desire to attend seminary before he felt a real call to pastoral ministry.
We exist to glorify and enjoy God. But that begs the question of whether there are reasons for belief in a god in the first place. There are three offered in Q&A 2: the light of conscience, the light of creation, and the light of the canon.

If it felt too good to be true that is probably because it was! No relationship is perfect but it sounds like you guys had quite a few problems. If you like him one day and hate him the next, you probably still do have feelings for him, but that doesn't mean you need to act on them. If he is mean and acts crazy then you should not be dating him. He needs to mature more before he is in a relationship with anyone and you deserve someone who won't give you an emotional roller coaster.
I would say it's time to ditch the ex-boy toy and chill out being single for a while. Go through a coping process so you can fully get over him. Pamper yourself, have a girls night, go shopping, or do anything that gets your mind off of him. Think about the qualities you really like having in a boyfriend and once you are ready to date again look for a guy who will treat you well.
