Gaffe Day at Camp McCain
Posted by Al Giordano - June 24, 2008 at 9:46 amBy Al Giordano
If it was Monday it must have been Gaffe Day…
Three Republican bigshots made comments to the press yesterday that were outrageous enough to step on on virtual Republican presidential nominee John McCain's own attempts to propose a $300 million US government prize for whoever invents an energy-saving car battery.
The "gaffes" were so boneheadedly off-message that they were the equivalent of dropping three anvils on McCain's head in a single day. They also served to trip all over each other. The Field therefore concludes that at least two of the three gaffes were not planned as a matter of campaign tactics (as "gaffes" sometimes are).
There was religious right minister James Dobson saying of McCain's rival, Barack Obama:
"I think he's deliberately distorting the traditional understanding of the Bible to fit his own worldview, his own confused theology... He is dragging biblical understanding through the gutter."
This, from a minister (Dobson) whose own interpretation of The Bible leads him to conclude that "spanking should be of sufficient magnitude to cause the child to cry genuinely," that women should avoid the workplace and stay home even when their children reach teenage years because "menopause and a man's midlife crisis are scheduled to coincide with adolescence, which can make a wicked soup," and that "tolerance and its first cousin, diversity, 'are almost always buzzwords for homosexual advocacy.'"
Uh, which US presidential candidate has a "reverend problem"?
We might have spent today chattering about Rev. Dobson but along came Republican political fixer Karl Rove who at a breakfast with "GOP insiders" opined aloud about Obama:
"Even if you never met him, you know this guy. He's the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette that stands against the wall and makes snide comments about everyone who passes by."
Karl must have two different guys confused. Who's that guy with the drink and the cigarette and the fabulous date and all that snide commentary? I know that guy, too! That isn't Obama…
Oh, my.
It's me!
The richness of the revelation that Rove naturally presumes that those party insiders belong to country clubs that are expensively out of reach or discriminatory against most citizens might have also made for great chatter today, but then top McCain political strategist Charlie Black had to go and drop the A-Bomb on his own candidate.
Black told Fortune magazine that terrorists could save McCain's flagging campaign if they would only strike upon US soil before November:
The assassination of Benazir Bhutto in December was an "unfortunate event," says Black. "But his knowledge and ability to talk about it reemphasized that this is the guy who's ready to be Commander-in-Chief. And it helped us." As would, Black concedes with startling candor after we raise the issue, another terrorist attack on U.S. soil. "Certainly it would be a big advantage to him," says Black.
Wow. Just, wow. That's a pretty scary statement since it telegraphs a message to the sorts of folks that make such attacks. I sure wouldn't want to be Charlie Black if his dark fantasy ever comes true, because a lot of folks will now be, naturally, viewing him as responsible for inviting such harm and destruction.
A campaign in which key staffers and surrogates believe in their candidate's own message and strategy doesn't often veer so erratically off-message. Gaffe Day was a consequence of three men who each unilaterally decided that what they had to say was more important than whatever their candidate was saying on any given Monday.
As a reporter, this is very heartening, in a macabre sort of way. If anyone has been missing the searing and off-message drama supplied so regularly by the Clinton campaign and its surrogates during the primaries, and feared that the general election fight would be more controlled and thus boring, McCain's got a whole herd of Wile E. Coyotes dropping anvils on him and each other to keep us entertained through November. Maybe he ought to offer a $300 million prize to any staffer or surrogate that can keep his mouth shut until then!
Plan Vero Possumus: Yes, We're Going to Denver!
Posted by Al Giordano - June 23, 2008 at 8:49 pmBy Al Giordano
Many commenters (and e-mailers) have asked whether The Field can recover from the thefts against it and its supporters and still go to Denver in late August to report from the Democratic National Convention.
The answer: Vero Possumus!
Tomorrow morning, a letter from one of our esteemed Field Hands will appear on this page asking you to chip in to "send and equip Al for Denver." (Those of you with writing talents - and judging from the talent in our comments section, there are many - please consider penning a similar appeal for the fund drive about to begin.) A graph will go up atop The Field announcing the fundraising drive's goal. All funds will go through The Fund for Authentic Journalism, a trusted and experienced 501c3 organization that supports my work and that of other journalists, that skims no overhead for paid staff (as an all-volunteer organization, it has none, so as to make sure that all donations go directly to support the work).
Originally we had estimated the costs of reporting from Denver in late August to be $5,000, but that was predicated upon making reservations weeks ago that, if they were made, we have no access to them. Lodging in Denver for that week has since become scarcer and thus more expensive, as have other related costs. In addition, my poor abused laptop is frequently overheating and shutting down. It is sputtering valiantly into its final days. Thus, we will set the new goal at $7,400 (a nice round number... that rings a certain bell) to cover the extra costs plus a new laptop to make the work possible.
Some of you have donated, without being asked, since we moved The Field 9 days ago. Those funds – about $1,500 - have been put to good use covering my expenses, the technical help, some additional firepower for this version of the Iron Man suit, and those of quickly and competently transferring The Field to its new home without missing a beat. Many of you have commented that you like the new home even more, as do I. Well, you made all this possible.
Starting now, donations will go to the "send and equip" fund, unless specified otherwise, until we reach the goal of $7,400 (any funds raised over and above that will go to The Fund for Authentic Journalism's work supporting our host site, Narco News, and its journalists). Those donations received online via this link before 9 a.m. ET tomorrow, Tuesday, will be marked on the bar graph that will track the funds raised and will be updated frequently until we reach the goal. Ideally, the graph should start with something on it, right? You can make an early dent in the goal if you contribute tonight.
Contributions can be made online via:
Or can be sent via snail mail to:
The Fund for Authentic Journalism
PO Box 241
Natick, MA 01760 USA
(If you send a contribution via snail mail, please use the comments section to let us know how much; likewise if you do it online, so that others can see and feel the momentum you've created.)
I fear that the petty delays and obstacles being thrown up by those that owe you refunds of what you intended be put to this purpose may in part be driven by the fantasy that if they stall long enough that the clock will elapse, making it impossible that they'll have the happy happy joy joy of seeing my smiling face – and those of the collaborators in our awesome posse that will swarm upon the scene - working hard in Denver. I can think of no better way to dissuade them from such silly obstructionist thoughts, if they have them, than by going ahead now and raising the funds regardless of how quickly others comply with their legal and moral obligations (or when the boot will come down upon them and they will be forced to do so).
I am also pleased and grateful to report that Markos Moulitsas of the Daily Kos has invited The Field to be part of The Big Tent: a newsroom that he is co-sponsoring a stone's throw from the convention center, and we've accepted his generous invitation.
Also: On Sunday, August 25, (oops, that's August 24!) - the day before that convention begins - from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. in a Field Hand's very nice home and garden just seven minutes from downtown Denver, The Field will be holding a very special event. Mark your calendars.
As for the Convention credentials that were granted based upon The Field's high Technorati rating, we'll have more to announce (and probably more yet unpublished emails that reveal all) in the coming days on that front.
So, kind Field Hand, if you support this idea, give tomorrow morning's bar graph a head start with your contribution tonight, let us know in the comments section, and it will be reflected when the graph uncloaks mid-morning.
Anyway, I'll hurry up and post these words before my laptop overheats again…
Update: Twin Cities Field Hands have issued a very welcome invitation that we also report from the Republican National Convention in early September in Minnesota. Once we've reached our goal for Denver, we are very favorably inclined to move on to making coverage of the Twin Cities convention as our next goal.
Update II: Hey, all you new donors ($1,665 at three minutes to midnight on Monday) - make sure you sign up for a co-publisher account, which gives you immediate and uncensored commenting privileges. Thank you very much, each and every one.
Round One of a 15 Round Prizefight
Posted by Al Giordano - June 23, 2008 at 10:22 amBy Al Giordano
Dan Balz and Ann Kornblut write in today's Washington Post about what the Obama campaign is trying to do at this transitional point in the presidential campaign, now that both major parties have a presumptive nominee:
Top advisers point to several factors. First, they acknowledge that the long nomination battle has left scars within the party. Right now, polls show that Obama is winning a smaller share of Democratic support than McCain is winning of Republican support. Campaign officials expect that to change as the summer progresses.
But they also acknowledge that McCain runs better with independent voters than anyone else the GOP might have nominated. By the fall they hope to have drawn enough distinctions with McCain to make those independents think twice about their support for him.
Finally, they argue, they have not yet begun to compete for Republican support, particularly among women who favor abortion rights or GOP voters disaffected with President Bush. In the end, they believe that whichever candidate wins the highest percentage of voters in the other party is likely to be the next occupant of the White House.
Gee, how many words can be dedicated to saying, "Obama needs to solidify his Democratic voter base, drive up McCain's negatives among Independent voters and then go after moderate (pro-choice, anti-war) Republican voters"?
I mean, like, duh.
I'm not really critiquing those two excellent political reporters. They have to produce copy on a daily basis whether or not there is real news to report.
I'll add some other obvious tasks ahead in the near future of this campaign: Obama and McCain each have to choose a running mate and also must raise boatloads of money for the expensive Autumn ahead.
And in Obama's case, the big question mark for the summer is to what extent his grassroots organization (including the 3,600 Obama Fellows that have now been trained and have fanned out across 17 states, with more to shortly be added) will really succeed in expanding the electorate in key states through an ambitious voter registration drive. Again, we won't really be able to draw conclusions until September: that will have a huge impact (or not) on the electoral map and any projections to be accurately made.
All of that is so basic and fundamental that it's hard to squeeze authentic news (that which can be reported as "new") out of most of it.
The US presidential campaign at present is like the first round of a prize fight: two boxers circling around each other, probing the rival for weaknesses, each setting up his game plan for the duration of the 15 rounds.
The hitting doesn't begin for real until August and, really until, the two party conventions in late August and early September.
Only then will this numbers cruncher begin analyzing aloud the state-by-state polls and Electoral College map because until each campaign settles on its overriding themes and messages, and makes certain calls as to which sectors of voters it might have to cut loose in order to win others in key Electoral College states (because the most important rule in politics is that you can't please everyone), the current red-blue map is drawn in sand: winds and waves will wipe it away and a new map will have to be drawn come Labor Day.
So, kind reader: I'm not going to jerk you around by the nose ring this summer and offer bells and whistles for the sake of fooling the crowd and making you all emotional about stuff that really won't matter. But here are some factors that do matter that I'll be posting on shortly:
I view the contest for Hispanic-American votes between the two candidates to be outcome determinative of how electoral swing states like Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada will vote in November, and in a whole different way in Florida (because the GOP's traditional Cuban-American base there is brittle and subject to fracture), and it will be a factor in Virginia and maybe even in Texas or McCain's own state of Arizona. There are some key moments upcoming – like the mid-July conference of the National Council of La Raza conference in San Diego, at which both candidates have accepted invitations to speak – that will answer a lot of questions particularly this one: How will McCain walk the tightrope of trying to woo Mexican-American voters (for whom immigration reform is the most important issue) without angering the anti-immigrant crazies of his party's base.
A related and very important question for the Obama campaign is whether it can resist the temptation to play both sides of the immigration issue, which may be the only thing that could blow his current 60 percent to 23 percent advantage over McCain among Hispanic-American voters. The anti-immigrant crazies are gnashing their teeth – the sky really has fallen for them because they have no boxer of their own in this presidential ring (even Libertarian Bob Barr, they convincingly accuse, has plagiarized much of his own immigration stance, word for word, from Obama.) Again, I'll be posting more on this tremendously important factor shortly.
But in terms of the boxing match, kind readers, what questions are on your mind that you'd like me to investigate and report back to you this summer?
There will be plenty to talk and blog about: We're just not going to take the bait on every light and transient or sensationalist matter that the rest of the media (and too often following it's lead, the blogosphere) will be hyping in order to try and keep your attention. While others might burn you out so that by September you'll be sick of hearing about any of it, my job is to stick to only what really matters and thus arm and prepare you for the September-October sprint to the finish line, which will be exciting to say the least.
Consider this thread – in addition to commenting on anything above – as an invitation for questions about other strategic and tactical factors facing the campaigners in the opening rounds this summer.
Field Hands: It's About the Organizing
Posted by Al Giordano - June 20, 2008 at 2:23 pmBy Al Giordano
I'm convinced after having watched the bad-to-pathetic behavior over the past week by the former aspiring Mall Cops of the Ex-Field that much more threatening to them than my innocuous mention of deceased community organizers and journalists was the creation – five days prior to the censorship – of an independent platform for the living organizers and communicators over at the independent Field Hands site.
It now counts with 399 members (who will be Field Hand number 400?) in 15 Field Hand Locals each with 10 members or more, plus many more regions rolling toward that threshold. We'll update here when Field Hand 400 arrives!
Update: Julie of Norman, Oklahoma is Field Hand #400! Congrats to her and to Peter Bratt (Field Hand #401) of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania and Randy H (Field Hand #402) of Reno, Nevada, who have signed up in the past few minutes.
If it was sadly too much of an opportunity for politically-retarded control-freaks to suffer the collapse of an illusion that they could wield control or veto power over what I wrote, it must have been a nightmare to suddenly find themselves unable to imagine control over the autonomous words and activities of hundreds of you now able to meet each other and organize together without going through them or anyone else.
But I know greatness when I see it, and know that a self-organizing sensation that grows this fast deserves all the support and attention that I can muster.
So, sign up there, meet your fellow and sister Field Hands in person (we already have one wedding to report, see below), and here is a round-up of the first days of activity over there…
The Denver Field Hands Posse is organizing to find places to stay in Denver during the Democratic National Convention in August.
Twin Cities Field Hands are organizing to report from the Republican National Convention there in early September.
New York City Field Hands are organizing their first face-to-face meeting.
(Note: Any Field Hands Local that sets a meeting date and wants it publicized here, please send me the info at email@example.com )
Field Hands Abroad are organizing to get refunds for its members contributions from the host of the Ex-Field, with very different results reported by individual members.
Some Chicago Field Hands are organizing an "Interactive Video Webcast" for the November elections in the US.
As the Chicago Field Hands (Local #1) is organizing voter registration.
Bluegrass Field Hands has launched in Kentucky.
And congratulations to Allan Brauer and Norberto Laboy-Brauer who were married on Tuesday in Sacramento, California!
Finally, would those Field Hands that have not yet uploaded a photo or an image to represent them please do so (if you don't know how, post a message there or here and other Field Hands will help guide you through the simple steps).
As always, Field Hands is self-organized and independently so. Any activity its members or groups engage in is autonomous and requires no permission or approval from The Field or from me, and neither The Field nor I are necessarily responsible for them. Likewise, Field Hands are not necessarily responsible for anything I say or do.
Meanwhile, if you want instant commenting privileges here at The Field, you can apply for your co-publisher account – the backstage pass that comes with some other very neat whistles and bells - at this link.
Also: That very handsome Field Hands banner up top was designed by Susan Kitchens.
Update: Here's an interesting analysis of The Field's sudden change of location by DKos diarist TheWurx.
Update II: San Diego Field Hands has now qualified as Local #16!
Update III: Field Hands site founder Susan is asking for help and feedback. Specifically, she could use a few more hands on deck to welcome newcomers and keep the site humming along. Please read her words at this thread and volunteer.
A Message from John Scagliotti
Posted by Al Giordano - June 19, 2008 at 8:30 pmDear Al : thanks for the kind words of support for Andy's journalism. Is this woman, Debra Kozikowski, losing funders because of Andy Kopkind? I am bit confused how Andy is involved with any of her concerns.
But does that mean we who run the Kopkind Colony are getting a bum rap from those who give money to good causes like ours because people think Andy is a weatherman? Not sure if I understand her argument but thanks for clearing it up a bit. Kind of ironic that she seems to be a supporter of Obama who is being falsely smeared as a Muslim.
I do know, as you point out, there are many facts wrong in her thinking. But it is true that Andy was not a member of SDS or the Weather Organization. Like many journalists in that time he covered them but then he covered Conrad Hilton for the cover of Time Magazine too and he never was party of the Hilton Hotels and never received any money or support from Mr. Hilton or his fine granddaughter Paris. Do you think this tangential connection to Paris Hilton would be more damaging for this woman than his journalism covering radicals in the 60's?
warm regards,
Kopkind Administrator

Posted by Al Giordano - June 19, 2008 at 12:57 pmBy Al Giordano
"Synchronized Flip-Flopping."
That's the phrase that Jonathan Alter of Newsweek used on Keith Olbermann's program to describe the simultaneous change in stances on offshore drilling by Senator John McCain and Florida Governor Charlie Crist:
Olbermann also pointed out in that broadcast that the synchronization between the presumptive Republican nominee's flip from opposing offshore drilling to now favoring it and President George W. Bush's press conference yesterday to push that stance trips up another big theme that McCain has been trying very hard to promote: that he is somehow independent from the unpopular US president of his party.
Not all Republicans on coastal states threatened by offshore oil drilling are signing up for duty, though.
The Press of Atlantic City, New Jersey, reports:
"New Jersey lawmakers and candidates from both parties Tuesday criticized Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain's proposal to lift the federal ban on offshore oil and gas drilling. U.S. Rep. Frank A. LoBiondo, R-2nd, was among those who suggested shifting the focus to the nation's 68 million acres leased for drilling that hasn't happened. 'We must not gamble with our beaches and tourism industry,' LoBiondo said. He and fellow Rep. Jim Saxton, R-3rd, last year voted against an unsuccessful attempt in the House of Representatives to allow natural-gas drilling offshore…"
The Asbury Park Press reports that former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman, Republican and former director of the US Environmental Protection Agency, is likewise "cool to McCain's plan."
The Newark Star-Ledger notes that Republican US Senate candidate in New Jersey, Dick Zimmer, put out a hurried press release to disassociate himself from the synchronized flip-flop:
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dick Zimmer issued a statement this afternoon saying he opposes Bush's effort and is "strongly against any drilling or exploration off the New Jersey coast or in any area that poses a risk to our beaches."
The South Jersey Courier-Post chronicles Republicans distancing themselves from McCain on the offshore drilling issue:
Several New Jersey Republicans also have expressed opposition, including Reps. Chris Smith, R-Hamilton; Jim Saxton, R-Mount Holly, and Frank LoBiondo, R-Ventnor. They argue that exploring for oil and natural gas fewer than 100 miles from New Jersey's southernmost point could wreak environmental havoc in case of an oil spill.
McCain has not only undercut, with this gambit, his previous efforsts to distance himself from Bush, but he's provoked downticket Republicans to begin to distance themselves from him.
As for some of the "Chicken Littling" that going on in some corners about polls that show Americans are suddenly in favor of offshore drilling due to high gas prices, such clucking reveals an especially shallow reading of polling data and what it means.
People vote all the time for candidates with whom they may disagree on an issue. Almost no voter agrees with either candidate on every matter of policy. The real question is which voters see a particular issue as "outcome determinative" for their votes, and that usually involves intense self-interest or ideological passion. For property owners along the shores of some traditionally Republican presidential swing states like Virginia, Florida and North Carolina, where the Democrat Obama is playing to steal the ball, and also in some traditionally Democratic swing states where the Republican McCain needs to pull off a surprise or two in order to win the Electoral College majority - New Jersey, Oregon and Washington (not to mention California) – the matter of offshore drilling is more outcome determinative in that those voters have home, vacation home, and business interests in preserving the shoreline and the tourism and other industries that depend on it. Many of them are Independents and Republicans. In his attempt to pander on gas prices with a proposal that won't lower them one penny (nor create new oil productions for at least five years), McCain risks pushing away sectors of voters that might otherwise cast their ballots for him.
And since coastal dwellers and business owners are easily targeted and reachable through zip-code based direct mail campaigns, door-to-door volunteer canvassing, and telephone phone-banking, the campaign with superior organization and funding will have the advantage in pulling these swing voters into his camp.
Update: Perhaps this is related: Readers here from Florida have now reached the threshold strength of membership to become Field Hands Local #15. ¡Salud!

Your Bouquet's are thickening nicely across the base, Kirk. Much more so than mine. The Arabicum 'Bouquet' is a stunning plant. The one that Ken Wall has is beautiful and he is where I got seed from. Looks to me that you have quite a LARGE collection yourself. Rick |
Thanks, Rick. These were seeds from you. The two arabicums that are in the same pot as my oldest obesum are also from you. I think they are the bouquet as well. They seem to be doing the best and they are a lot younger than the ones pictured in this thread. I'll get a better picture of them later today to show. I'd love to see Ken's mother plant! Would you by chance have a picture of it you could share? Kirk |

Whether you're true blue to San Francisco or loyal to Baltimore, sports fans have at least one thing in common…. They like sports! We've made a list of some of our favorite sports-themed audiobooks so you can REALLY hear the roar of the crowd, whether on the gridiron, the diamond, the hardwood, or… the dog agility course?
THE FAST AND THE FURRIEST is about twelve-year-old Kevin Pugh, the sarcastic and unathletic son of a former pro football player, and his Beagle named Cromwell. Together, and with the touch of some magical realism, they learn about the pitfalls and triumphs of the athletic world as Cromwell gets the need for speed in his canine agility course.
Meanwhile, THE RIVALRY: MYSTERY AT THE ARMY NAVY GAME is for the football sleuth, taking listeners behind the scenes of a storied football game, where not everything is quite as it seems, and it's up to teen sportswriters Stevie Thomas and Susan Carol Anderson to discover who is actually calling the plays…
CAL RIPKIN, JR.'S ALL-STARS: SUPER-SIZED SLUGGER is about Cody Parker, a new kid at school who constantly gets teased about his weight. All Cody wants to do is play baseball, but will anyone see him for who he really is?
PINNED by Sharon Flake is the story of teen wrestler Autumn, a popular girl with a learning disability, and a shy boy named Adonis, a voracious reader who is confined to a wheelchair. Told from both Autumn and Adonis's point of view, PINNED tackles issues of self-discovery, friendship, and what it means to be different.
Finally, TRAVEL TEAM is the story of Danny Walker, a twelve-year-old basketball fanatic who is crushed when he doesn't make the seventh-grade travel team. Though some people call him short, he's determined to find a way to get his own squad together and prove them all wrong, since he believes he was cut from the team because of his father's arch nemesis.
Happy listening, and play ball!

Location is great. Staff was very helpful. We were sent to a room initially that had been cleaned but then it looked like someone had come afterwards to shower and dress (used razor in shower, empty perfume bottle, towel and robe used, etc.) The staff was very apologetic, sent us to a better room and sent up a bottle of red wine.

I have found my "home" for my overnight stays in New York City, for business and for leisure.

I had my business meetings in the hotel very good hotel restaurant and gave my associates, in the NYC from Hong Kong, a quick tour of the hotel - they'll be booking with you in the future! - Anonymous
The hotel is quite nice, decoration really cool, rooms are spacious, in the summer the pool is the best place to be, no gr8 if you have kids as kids are allowed only until 12pm, on saturdays it's a pool party...gets busy and is a lot of fun...I certainly would stay there again. Only problem is the roof top, there were 3 events, the door man is a pain, but honestly I could not be bothered with another looser at the door thinking he was the owner of the joint...plus there are better clubs in the M - marli
I loved the large rooms and bathrooms and the beautifully tasteful renovation of the old Seminary building - very classy. But especially the location near the High Line for walking and near Chelsea Market and all the great restaurants. The staff was super accommodating an genuinely nice and there is a gourmet coffee/tea bar in the lobby with lovely fresh backed goods for the morning. - Anonymous
We live 60 plus miles from the city and have come in often for weekends and stayed in numerous hotels over the years. This is by far the very best experience we have ever had and I will never think of booking any other hotel. I only hesitate to give it more kudos for fear of having others book it when I again want a room. Thank you Desmond Tutu staff for being the BEST!!!! - Anonymous
The Jade is in an excellent location (right smack dab in the middle of Greenwich Village) and is surrounded by great restaurants and shopping. The staff was extremely helpful and so sweet helping me with my luggage and making sure I was comfortable in their hotel. The hotel itself is really beautiful and very luxurious.

My sister and I traveled to NYC for an event at NYU. I loved the location being at Washington Square. We walked to dinner each night at small ethnic restaurants. The free breakfast was a great addition- coffee was very good. Loved the look and style of the hotel. Staff was amazing and VERY accommodating. After traveling to NYC for years and staying in Midtown - this was so much more fun and the room was the quietest I have ever had and the bed was comfortable.

In The Penguin Post (yes, it exists, www.penguin-place.com) we recently found two reports of great interest and no importance suggesting that penguins are unusually sporting birds.
Item #1: Bird Bowling: The British Air Force in the Falkland Islands discovered a way to "bowl" for penguins by flying over large groups of the groundbound birds. See, penguins are observant creatures that are unusually interested in airplanes (flight envy perhaps?). Herds of up to ten thousand penguins will, in unison, all point their beaks at a plane flying overhead, tracking it accurately as it passes by. Sooo...if the pilots fly over the penguins at just the right angle, the little animals all fall over backwards—again in unison—just as the plane passes overhead.
Item #2: Birdball: The penguins hanging around the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Antarctica have been observed to take interest in games of football played by humans on flat fields of snow and ice.
One day the scientists came out to discover that the penguins had taken the field. They would line up in two rough groups, and then start squawking and running around bumping into each other. After a bit of this, they would pick themselves up and start the process all over again. They hadn't quite got the idea that a ball was important to the process, but they kept at it for some time. The sight was so ridiculous that everyone was rolling on the ice laughing.
Borland, the development tools company that recently returned to its original name (shedding the confusing "Inprise"), has finally come out with Kylix, its long-awaited rapid application development (RAD) Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Linux—and for cross-platform development as well.
Developed entirely for Linux as a native Linux development toolset, Kylix is also very familiar to users of Delphi, Borland's popular Windows RAD toolset. Kylix not only allows developers to use nearly identical tools and skills but to move Delphi-developed Windows applications over to Linux. Borland claims there are over two million Delphi and C++ Builder users, millions of applications, thousands of vertical and horizontal components, and over five hundred registered third-party tool and component vendors that will easily leverage from the Windows world to Linux using Kylix.
At the core of Kylix is the Component Library for Cross Platform Development, or CLX, pronounced "clicks". This is an open-source application infrastructure that supports both the commercial version of Kylix and the core component architecture, which Borland is releasing under the General Public License (GPL). These are expressed in three product editions: Open Edition, Desktop Developer and Server Developer. All three are available as shrink-wrapped products with the Open Edition available for free download as well. All CLX class libraries, however, are open source and GPL'd.
Like other commercial Linux vendors, Borland is attempting to support both commercial application development and ubiquitous Linux-based infrastructure. There is plenty of demand for both. This was manifest before the Kylix project began, when Borland conducted an extensive survey (partly through Linux Journal) in 1999. The survey had more than 24,000 responses that included both Linux and Windows developers. RAD development tools were at the top of the wish list for both groups. The top types of planned applications were application/utility development and client/server database development.
Ted Shelton characterizes Kylix's potential impact this way:
Imagine what would happen if Microsoft open sourced .Net, the crown jewels of their new strategy to dominate the emerging market for "web services". Imagine how thousands of developers would be able to take .Net and not just build applications with it, but truly extend it—move it to new operating systems, add functionality, specialize key interfaces for new devices, environments and vertical applications. Imagine how fast the world would change. We're ready to provide the drills, hammers and circular saws for developers to build an entirely new application infrastructure, one that will be industrial strength, open source and Linux-ready.
After the press conference announcing Kylix, it appeared to me that the deepest significance of Kylix may be in its cross-platform class libraries—in CLX. During the conference, Borland CEO and President Dale Fuller compared CLX to .Net, calling CLX ".Now". I asked Ted Shelton if this positioned CLX as a cross-platform framework that competed not only with .Net (which is not really cross-platform but cross-language within the Windows platform), but with Java as well. He replied, "When you develop, you essentially choose a set of class libraries. Java offers one. Microsoft offers another with .Net. CLX is now the third. But it's the only one that is both open source and cross platform. I expect that after the Open Source community gets into it, the CLX libraries will outnumber Java's."
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Bench orders notices to Central and State government authorities
Environmental clearances granted last year to Public Works Department for sand quarrying in 21 places on the river beds of Coleroon and Cauvery are now under the scrutiny of the National Green Tribunal, Southern Bench here.
Farmers associations such as Kollidam Aaru Pathukappu Nala Sangam and Somaswarapuram Vivsayikal Nala Pathukappu Sangam have filed their appeals challenging the decision of the State Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) to issue environmental clearance to the PWD for sand quarrying on the river beds.
The Bench, comprising Justice P. Jyothimani and Prof. R. Nagendran, admitted the farmers' appeals and ordered notices to the Central and State government authorities including the PWD.
According to the appellants, the clearances were issued in 2012 by the SEIAA for sand quarrying in four places in Thanjavur district; 11 in Tiruchi district; three in Namakkal; two in Karur and one in Nagapattinam.
As per the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification issued by the Union government in 2006, the PWD ought to have obtained the EC from the SEIAA after conducting public hearing. In the present case, the impugned clearance was granted without consideration of any relevant factors and without considering the extent of the environmental damage.
They also alleged that the EC had been granted for an inflated quantity of sand, which would cause environmental degradation and irreparable damage to the river. Quarrying beyond the depth of one meter was in violation of the Tamil Nadu Minor Mineral Concessions Rules as well. The matter was posted for hearing on September 13.
Keywords: Environmental clearance, sand quarrying works, Public Works Department, Tamil Nadu government, National Green Tribunal, SEIAA

Is anyone else working through this paper : http://arxiv.org/abs/0810.5645 ? I am trying to verifying example 6.2 (m=2 for simplicity) using only the definitions, namely:
J^{2\alpha}(\tau) = -1/4
(where \alpha satisfies M^{\alpha}_ss = M^{\alpha}_st and that Ext^1(E, E)=0 for any E \in M^{\alpha}_ss and finally that the only object of M^{m\alpha}_ss is E ^{\oplus m})
I keep getting -3/4. Has anyone else attempted to make such a computation? Did you get the answer you are supposed to get?

With the PyCon 2015 Call for Proposals ending in 12 days (on September 15), a few people have been asking "what makes a good PyCon proposal?" We've written up some proposal advice in the past and gathered a bunch of proposal resources as well (including a sample proposal I wrote about putting a pug into space), but we still get questions on filling out the actual proposal form.
Speaking at PyCon, or any conference or meetup, is an awesome experience. With a conference the size of PyCon and with the amount of proposals that are received, competition is pretty intense. The following guidelines have been helpful to others, and I hope they'll be helpful to you. Keep in mind that I'm only one individual reviewer - these aren't PyCon's "official" guidelines.
If you want to follow along, create an account on the PyCon site and then enter your dashboard. From there, choose the "Submit a new proposal" button and then the type of proposal you want to submit. If you had an account last year, we carried them over to this new site.
A couple of words represent all of the work you put into this proposal; your slides, the rehearsals, and everything else about it. The title is your big shot to attract people, and it's also one of the few ways to find your presentation after you give it. Substance is much more valuable than flash here. It doesn't have to be dry like a patent application title, but shy away from memes.
PyCon has a limited number of 45 minute talk slots, and asking for one is merely a suggestion to the program committee chair who constructs the schedule. If you think you have a 45 minute talk, go ahead and select it, but be aware that it might not fit in the schedule and you may instead be offered a 30 minute slot.
Your description will end up both in our printed program and in the online schedule. It's limited to 400 characters, so it's a nice supplement to your title. If I bumped into you in the hallway and found out you were on the way to give this talk in two minutes, what would you tell me? Write that down and you're golden.
Since PyCon attracts a wide range of people across a broad range of skill sets, you're going to end up with some attendees who are learning your topic for the first time, some who know about it, some know it, and sometimes even the people who created it. Who do you really want to reach out to the most? Who do you want to hear questions from at the end?
Be as accurate as you can be. A lot of people come into PyCon looking for talks that will help them level up across the board, so you may get a beginner who is going to try and attend a bunch of intermediate talks and push themselves. If we're all fairly accurate, we can put information in that person's hands that is within reach to help them learn. That's why we do this whole thing in the first place.
What do you want people to get excited about? Maybe you started off your proposal by saying "hey, I wish people knew X, Y, and Z". Boom. Maybe you started it off with a generic topic and formed a more specific proposal within it. Either way, think about what you'd want to talk about in the hallway after you give the talk. What do you want your attendees to tell their friends about?
This text ends up on our website, clickable from the schedule and talk lists. You hooked 'em with your title, your description made it sound even better, and now it's time for business. This is where you dig in and explain what you're going to talk about for 30-45 minutes, with some amount of detail into the topic. Let readers know why you're giving this talk and what they'll get out of it. If the Description was what you'd say to me two minutes before the talk, this is what you'd tell me at dinner the night before.
This field is Markdown enabled so you can jazz it up with links and other formatting. Some people like to put their full outline in here, which is fine. If you do that, just note it in the Outline box.
This is only visible to reviewers. A lot of people like to put a Detailed Abstract in paragraph form and then break it down into an outline to show how the talk would be organized. The outline helps reviewers get a feel for your level of preparedness on the topic as well as how organized your thoughts are in covering the topic in a live presentation. If you've thought about how much time you want to spend in a particular area, a lot of people add that, which is helpful as well.
Good luck with your proposals!
Tarek Ziadé recently announced the schedule for the Python track at FOSDEM 2013, where he's one of the organizers. They have some interesting talks lined up by some excellent speakers, so if you're going to FOSDEM, be sure to check them out.
The bigger part of the post is about a complete lack of women speakers. Namely, it's about how I edited his blog post before publishing it on the PyCon blog.
Jumping ahead to the last sentence in his post gets to the answer of why I did what I did. With PyCon, we've diversified our speaker list through a lot of effort, and a great set of allies.
There's a reason we went from one woman on the PyCon 2011 schedule to six in 2012. There's also a reason we went from six to at least 22 for 2013. We didn't do it through words, but through actions.
We experienced that growth thanks in part to the proliferation of women's technology groups and the relationships we've built with them. By reaching out and involving these groups, we've seen not only a rise in women on stage, but a noticeable increase in women in the audience.
Rather than saying "everyone is welcome, specifically women", we're trying to achieve an environment that is fair and equal. To do that, PyCon has been consistent in targeting an audience that includes everyone. I went back through many pages of posts on the PyCon blog, to early 2011, and we've stuck to this stance.
Even though 22 speakers sounds so much better than 6, read that again, only with more detail: 22 women on a schedule of 114 talks and 32 tutorials.
That really sucks. We're not going to see that number increase to 35, 40, 45, or hopefully higher in 2014 by mentioning "women, too". We're going to see that growth by ensuring women feel like first class citizens in our community. That goes for within PyCon, Python, all of technology, and on and on.
On one hand, it's great that we've seen this growth in PyCon. I'm happy for what the community has done to welcome this growth, and I'm happy for the people who helped achieve this growth. Most of all, I'm happy for the individuals who are a part of this growth.
On the other hand, what the hell is wrong with us that we can only get 22 women on the schedule? The answer has roots in a lot of stuff far away from and a lot earlier in the process than conferences come in, but we can and will do better.
We will continue to push for diversity by engaging groups that work with underrepresented areas of our community. As these partnerships blossom and new groups sprout, we will continue to engage them in hopes of realizing further growth. All the while, we will continue to market our conference to everyone.
I think I speak for the organizers in stating that while we're happy with the growth trends we're seeing, we're not going to be satisfied until we've reached and maintain equality. Our community deserves it.
One thing I will apologize for is that I did not notify Tarek of the change to his post. I did it on my own because I had that change made to my posts years ago, and I've learned what I think are better ways to reach and incorporate women. I should have communicated my thoughts and worked with Tarek, but I did not. For that, I'm sorry.

My sister, a professional cellist who rarely goes near her piano, was appalled to discover mold inside the instrument – on the wood, the felts, you name it. She is calling in a professional, but I wondered if anyone has ever run into this situation. So, three questions in case you had a similar problem that you had fixed:
How extensive was the mold growth, and where was it located?
How much did the repair cost?
What steps have you undertaken to make sure the problem doesn't happen again?
(She doesn't have central air but will install a dehumidifier and air cleansing product that is supposed to nuke mold spores. I'm hoping she will install a window air conditioner, as well.)
Turns out she had been running some kind of air purifying system that turned the mold to dust, so the piano technician simply had to dust the mold off! Whew! I was afraid there would be no singing around the piano this year at Christmas, or duet playing.
Thanks for the response.

Can anyone advise what shade of Aqua Mix grout colorant might be a close match in shade to Mapei "pale umber" sanded grout? Or close to Mapei "chamois"? I can't get a good enough color accuracy on my computer screen from the online color charts to choose well! And I can't find Aqua Mix grout colorant in stores, so would need to order it. Due to a series of unfortunate events, I have 3 different (sort of similar) colors of Mapei grout on my bathroom porcelain tile. (And a 4th grout color in the adjoining hallway. which is fine.) I love the hallway but need to "fix" the bathroom. Our small bathroom was started with Mapei "chamois", but when part of the floor had to be taken up and redone, Mapei "pewter" was used in error...then Mapei "malt" was used to finish up the bullnose baseboard and the tile that's going on the wall by the shower and the backsplash! The "chamois" and the "malt" are surprisingly similar in tone, but the pewter looks too grey with either the chamois or the malt. The Mapei color charts that I'm seeing online don't look true to color...they all look darker on the computer screen than they actually look in that room. My adjoining hallway is done with Mapei "pale umber" grout, which runs right up to the bathroom tile, with no threshhold break...so I thought about trying to make the bathroom similar to the hallway color. Bathroom is porcelain tile. Hallway is ceramic tile. Different patterns, but both are nice, mottled-patterned earthy natural tones that don't clash at all, and of course you have the visual break from hallway to bathroom. The guy who put down the "pewter" said he used the same as what was already down...said it only looked darker because it was still wet...to just give it time! The really professional, expert guy who chose "malt" said he had color-matched it from his Mapei color stick kit, and was sure it was right... We are learning so much with this first remodeling experience...like, insist on seeing the materials *before* they start the work...don't let anybody do work when we're not home...get more than one reference before hiring...don't pay till after the grout dries...etc! |

Mapei has their own version available in all of their grout colors. Call Mapei or your local Mapei grout supplier. If you want to use Aqua Mix, call their customer service line, which is very good and very technical. Good luck. I painted 1200 square feet of floor tile plus the backsplash in my kitchen in my house over the course of one summer. I used one made by my grout C-Cure. I put a little of the paint on a plastic lid and then dipped a very narrow toothbrush into it and then used a light swipe down and then back up the grout line to work the paint down into the grout. Took my time and drank wine and listened to jazz as I did it. Clean up goof ups as you go because it dries quickly. It looks good, makes mopping easier (I have large dogs), and has held up better compared to sealer. |

I have purchased 2 Integrifolia Mongolian Bells. When I plant them, do I plant them several inches deeper than they are in the pots? I wasn't sure if they should be treated the same as my other clematis. This is my first Integrifolia.
Thank you,

I'm in a similar zone and I don't. Integrifolias don't have wilt issues, which is why some are recommended to plant deeper, keeping the dormant buds protected underground. I keep the crown more or less where it is in the pot, erring on the side of a little deeper. This way they come up faster in the spring. |
- Posted by nckvilledudes 7a (My Page) on Fri, Apr 10, 09 at 18:55
Unlike Michael, I plant all my clematis deeper in the ground than they were in their pots. That includes the heracleifolias and integrifolias. I planted my Mongolian Bells the same way just recently. Growing clematis from seed, I have an abundance of various types of integrifolias up and growing and when they are potted up, I always go deeper and it has never seemed to bother them. Planting deeper in my estimation is not just for wilting purposes but for allowing more stem development from the crown. |
Thank you for the help. I have a few weeks yet until I feel it will be safe to plant in the garden but I wanted to know what to do when the day finally arrives. Carey |
- Posted by janetpetiole 4b (My Page) on Sat, Apr 11, 09 at 10:01
I don't plant them deeper, either. They grow and develop so so quickly, that I didn't feel it was necessary. Plus, I have read that the stems can rot if planted deeply. While I don't know if that is true or not, I wasn't going to take the chance. |
- Posted by michael_in_chicago z5 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 14, 09 at 14:16
Miguel, what kind of soil do you have? Have you had any problems planting any of the viorna group deep? The only ones I would not plant deep would be ones from this group, especially the ones originally from sandier soils (glaucophylla, versicolor, et al.). I've had problems with these only when planted too deeply, specifically with the crowns rotting out. My soil is mostly sand + whatever loam I've added, thus even with great drainage I've had these issues. Regardless, ckreiger, it looks like some bury them and some don't. Your soil type and season length/zone might affect your decision, but you can't hurt integrifolias either way, I think. |
- Posted by nckvilledudes 7a (My Page) on Tue, Apr 14, 09 at 14:38
Michael, we have good old NC clay. All the viorna group plants have been planted deeper with no issues. (I have two viornas, two glaucophyllas, two addisoniis, three pitcheris and one ochroleucas) I did have a versicolor, but it has always been a dud and am not sure it if it will return this year or not. |
- Posted by buyorsell888 Zone 8 Portland OR (My Page) on Thu, Apr 16, 09 at 11:48
I planted most of my integrifolias deeper in our clay and haven't had a problem. Daylilies and hostas sure don't like it though....I dug them up and replanted them higher and it made a big difference. |

Good News Translation (GNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 In the seventeenth year of the reign of Pekah son of Remaliah as king of Israel, Ahaz son of Jotham became king of Judah | 1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, Ahaz son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign. |
2 at the age of twenty, and he ruled in Jerusalem for sixteen years. He did not follow the good example of his ancestor King David; instead, he did what was not pleasing to the Lord his God | 2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. Unlike David his father, he did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD his God. |
3 and followed the example of the kings of Israel. He even sacrificed his own son as a burnt offering to idols, imitating the disgusting practice of the people whom the Lord had driven out of the land as the Israelites advanced. | 3 He walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and even sacrificed his son in the fire, following the detestable ways of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites. |
4 At the pagan places of worship, on the hills, and under every shady tree, Ahaz offered sacrifices and burned incense. | 4 He offered sacrifices and burned incense at the high places, on the hilltops and under every spreading tree. |
5 King Rezin of Syria and King Pekah of Israel attacked Jerusalem and besieged it, but could not defeat Ahaz. | 5 Then Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel marched up to fight against Jerusalem and besieged Ahaz, but they could not overpower him. |
6 (At the same time the king of Edom regained control of the city of Elath and drove out the Judeans who lived there. The Edomites settled in Elath and still live there.) | 6 At that time, Rezin king of Aram recovered Elath for Aram by driving out the men of Judah. Edomites then moved into Elath and have lived there to this day. |
7 Ahaz sent men to Tiglath Pileser, the emperor of Assyria, with this message: "I am your devoted servant. Come and rescue me from the kings of Syria and of Israel, who are attacking me." | 7 Ahaz sent messengers to say to Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria, "I am your servant and vassal. Come up and save me out of the hand of the king of Aram and of the king of Israel, who are attacking me." |
8 Ahaz took the silver and gold from the Temple and the palace treasury, and sent it as a present to the emperor. | 8 And Ahaz took the silver and gold found in the temple of the LORD and in the treasuries of the royal palace and sent it as a gift to the king of Assyria. |
9 Tiglath Pileser, in answer to Ahaz' plea, marched out with his army against Damascus, captured it, killed King Rezin, and took the people to Kir as prisoners. | 9 The king of Assyria complied by attacking Damascus and capturing it. He deported its inhabitants to Kir and put Rezin to death. |
10 When King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Emperor Tiglath Pileser, he saw the altar there and sent back to Uriah the priest an exact model of it, down to the smallest details. | 10 Then King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria. He saw an altar in Damascus and sent to Uriah the priest a sketch of the altar, with detailed plans for its construction. |
11 So Uriah built an altar just like it and finished it before Ahaz returned. | 11 So Uriah the priest built an altar in accordance with all the plans that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus and finished it before King Ahaz returned. |
12 On his return from Damascus, Ahaz saw that the altar was finished, | 12 When the king came back from Damascus and saw the altar, he approached it and presented offerings on it. |
13 so he burned animal sacrifices and grain offerings on it and poured a wine offering and the blood of a fellowship offering on it. | 13 He offered up his burnt offering and grain offering, poured out his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his fellowship offerings on the altar. |
14 The bronze altar dedicated to the Lord was between the new altar and the Temple, so Ahaz moved it to the north side of his new altar. | 14 The bronze altar that stood before the LORD he brought from the front of the temple--from between the new altar and the temple of the LORD--and put it on the north side of the new altar. |
15 Then he ordered Uriah: "Use this large altar of mine for the morning burnt offerings and the evening grain offerings, for the burnt offerings and grain offerings of the king and the people, and for the people's wine offerings. Pour on it the blood of all the animals that are sacrificed. But keep the bronze altar for me to use for divination." | 15 King Ahaz then gave these orders to Uriah the priest: "On the large new altar, offer the morning burnt offering and the evening grain offering, the king's burnt offering and his grain offering, and the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their grain offering and their drink offering. Sprinkle on the altar all the blood of the burnt offerings and sacrifices. But I will use the bronze altar for seeking guidance." |
16 Uriah did as the king commanded. | 16 And Uriah the priest did just as King Ahaz had ordered. |
17 King Ahaz took apart the bronze carts used in the Temple and removed the basins that were on them. He also took the bronze tank from the backs of the twelve bronze bulls and placed it on a stone foundation. | 17 King Ahaz took away the side panels and removed the basins from the movable stands. He removed the Sea from the bronze bulls that supported it and set it on a stone base. |
18 And in order to please the Assyrian emperor, Ahaz also removed from the Temple the platform for the royal throne and closed up the king's private entrance to the Temple. | 18 He took away the Sabbath canopy that had been built at the temple and removed the royal entryway outside the temple of the LORD, in deference to the king of Assyria. |
19 Everything else that King Ahaz did is recorded in [The History of the Kings of Judah.] | 19 As for the other events of the reign of Ahaz, and what he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? |
20 Ahaz died and was buried in the royal tombs in David's City, and his son Hezekiah succeeded him as king. | 20 Ahaz rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David. And Hezekiah his son succeeded him as king. |
