BOSTON (AP) - The 118th running of the Boston Marathon has begun amid heavy security a year after the bombings near the race's finish line that killed three people and wounded more than 260 others.
The race began at 8:50 a.m. Monday for mobility-impaired marathoners and at 9:32 a.m. for elite women. The elite male runners start at 10 a.m.
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said at the starting line in Hopkinton that officials are trying to keep a traditional family feel to the marathon while maintaining tight security.
A moment of silence was observed and "America the Beautiful" was played over a loudspeaker before the start of the race.
About 36,000 runners registered for the race - the second-largest field in its history.

This past weekend Maya hit a big milestone, one she has been waiting a long time for. She lost her first tooth!!
The story behind how she lost her tooth is one that will keep us laughing years to come. Her tooth had been wiggly for a few weeks but late last week it started to get really wiggly and it was apparent that she would have her first encounter with the tooth fairy in the not too distant future. All weekend she was fiddling with it and asking over and over again when it would finally fall out. Sunday evening, at that twilight part of the day when the sun is going down and it can be hard to see, the kids were out front playing with a few of their neighborhood friends. They were all horsing around and one of Maya's friends jumped up and started to run without realizing that Maya was right in his path. He ran right into her, the top of his head hitting her mouth. You can imagine where this is going, right? Maya started crying and trying to spit something out, that was her tooth. The impact had knocked out her tooth. At first she was really mad and upset but then it hit her that her tooth had finally fallen out, the thing she had been waiting forever for! She was all smiles after that!
She put her tooth in a little baggie with a note to the tooth fairy that this was her very first lost tooth and hung it from her bed post. That night the tooth fairy crept into her room and left her an adorable, mini sized note and $5 dollars (she got a little extra since this was her first lost tooth and the circumstances were a little out of the ordinary). She was so excited the next morning to find the treasure in her little baggie
Last week was Show Week at Maya's gymnastics school. It is an opportunity for the kiddos to showcase all the new skills they have learned throughout the year for their proud parents. I always find their demonstrations so adorable.
Maya has had a great year in gymnastics. She has come so far and learned a ton of new skills. The days of being scared to go into class by herself and being too scared to participate in Show Day are long gone. She demonstrated every skill very well. We are so proud of her.
Maya is very good at gymnastics and has learned a lot of new skills this year. In fact, she has become so good so has been invited to join the advanced class at her gym. The class requires a skills assessment to join so all the kids in the class are at a certain skill level which allows the teachers to begin focusing on new and more challenging skills. Their is more time spent on skills training in the class, which is Maya's favorite part. She will start in the class this summer in order to hone one remaining required skill that she is still struggling a bit with and then be ready to stay on with the class in the fall and participate in their shows and competitions. She, her teachers and we are very excited for this new step!
So, yesterday I spent all day psyching myself up to move Anna into her big girl bed. I knew the sooner I did it the more likely it was that things would be settled down and in a good routine before Maya starts kindergarten and before Baby Girl #3 arrives. Once I had myself talked into I started talking Anna into. Which, it turns out, was harder than I thought. Every time I mentioned her sleeping in her big girl bed in her new room she would say "No". I tried not to let that get to me and scare me away from moving her over last night.
At bedtime I put her favorite guys, the ones that usually occupy the space at the end of her crib, in her new big girl bed.
When I brought her upstairs we went about our usual routine and jammies and brushing teeth. Then, we did something a little different, we walked into Maya's room instead of her room. She got excited at the sight of her guys in her bed and climbed right in. I was excited and thought, just maybe, this transition would be smooth.
But then she got this look of fear in her eyes, you can see it in the last picture. That look didn't leave her eyes until they were closed and she was gently snoring away. I climbed into bed with her and we read a few stories and I got her to lay down and climbed out of the bed to sit beside it for a minute. She was not having any of it and started crying. I climbed back into bed with her and laid down beside her. I told her it was bedtime and she needed to go to sleep. Her response just about broke my heart and resolve "No bed, I scared" I laid there with her for a while and watched her eyes dart all around the room, the fear still very prominent. When her eyes started to get heavy and her breathing rhythmic I tried to get out of bed and leave the room. She responded by sobbing. I gave up and laid with her until she fell asleep.
With her blankie held tightly to her chest, her eyes closed and her little snores filling the quiet in the room I determined she was asleep enough that I could safely leave. I whispered to Maya to stay very quiet so Anna wouldn't wake back up and I tip toed out of the room. I checked back in on them later, before I went to bed. Both girls were sleeping soundly, Anna still in the exact position I left her in, with her blankie still clutched tightly to her chest.
Even though the going to bed part was a bit rough, and I'm guessing I'll need to lay with her for at least a few nights until she gets used to the new bed and new room, I'm going to call last night a success. She slept all night, not a peep out of her, in her new big girl bed and woke this morning full of happiness, the fear of the evening before long gone. So, the first night was a success and my fingers are crossed that it is more of the same in the days ahead.
Tomorrow I am hosting a little play date for a new friend that Maya made recently. This little girl lives in our neighborhood (her first new friend that lives close by) and will be starting kindergarten with Maya in the fall (hopefully in the same class). Tomorrow she and her mom are coming over for lunch a little play date. It is the start of new friendships, for Maya and for me. Maya played at her house for a few hours on Sunday and the girls had a wonderful time. It is nice to see her bonding with new people.
We all still miss our friends in St. Louis dearly. Maya still talks pretty much daily about her best pal, Claire. But, these new little friendships she is forming are helping her. They are helping her adjust to life here in Seattle. They are helping her settle in and enjoy herself. Kindergarten is going to be a big step for her, it is going to be a big change. I'm glad she has someone to experience that with now.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I'm looking forward to watching Maya and her new little friend play and giggle and be little girls together. It should be a great afternoon.
Maya has been asking for a big girl 2-wheel bike for ages now. Our plan was to get her one this summer and then we decided to move to Seattle so it was put on hold for a bit. We told her she could get one once we got here and settled in. Well a couple of weeks ago her wishes for a new bike finally came true and the beloved UPS driver delivered a big box just for Maya. She was so, so excited.
I had to make a tool run and a bike helmet run so she could ride it right away as the bike got here before all our stuff arrived from St. Louis. Lorne managed to get the bike put together with the "help" of two little girls and lots of princesses
Maya has been loving her new bike and riding it all over the parking lot of our apartment complex and on the trails that run through our community. She is still pretty cautious but getting better every time she rides it. I'm sure before we know it, it'll be time to remove those training wheels.
Anna is a bit envious of her sister's new wheels

Designer Periods: Safe or Selfish?
Will New Contraceptives End Monthly Cycles?

Imagine a life without cramping, bloating or bloody accidents. For most pre-menopausal women, life always seems to be a lead-up to periods, the periods themselves, or the aftermath. And if you ask one of these women how she feels
about periods, she'll most likely answer, "Are you crazy? I hate them." Now science may be handing women the opportunity for a life without menstruation. Strange… but enticing, right?
Sweeping pesky periods aside sounds great – but is it worth the risk?
menstrual suppression
by some, a godsend by others, and dangerous by a few, the management of a woman's monthly period has entered a whole new phase. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has just approved the first continuous birth control pill able to stop periods indefinitely. The agency had already approved two others designed to give women only four extended cycles each year. We have entered the world of designer periods.
Squelching periods and creating artificial cycles is nothing new. Many physicians prescribe oral contraceptives to ease troublesome periods or treat conditions made worse by menstruation, such as endometriosis, menstrual migraines and breast tenderness. Indeed, oral contraceptives already manipulate the menstrual cycle in millions of women by blocking ovulation and creating artificial periods. What
new, however, is managing menstrual cycles simply for the sake of convenience.
The New Offerings
Prior to the continuous birth control pill, two extended-cycle contraceptives had obtained FDA approval: In 2003, Barr Pharmaceuticals launched Seasonale® designed to give women only four periods per year. Users take a pill containing the hormones estrogen and synthetic progestogen every day for three months (84 days), followed by an inactive pill for seven. Barr then launched Seasonique®, a second version of the product in 2006. In this version, women take a reduced dose of estrogen during the seven-day cycle instead of an inactive pill. The company says that using low-dose estrogen pills instead of a placebo limits the bloating and breakthrough bleeding some women experienced with Seasonale®.
Now Wyeth Pharmaceuticals has been granted FDA approval for Lybrel®, the first continuous birth-control pill that would stop menstruation indefinitely – or for as long as the patient takes the pill.
One concern about Lybrel® has been whether women can resume normal monthly periods once they stop taking the drug. An unpublished study presented at the 2006 annual meeting of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology found that 99% of women either resumed their periods or became pregnant within 90 days of stopping the pills. Another study looked at the pill's safety and the incidence of breakthrough bleeding and found both similar to traditional month-by-month contraceptives. In fact, the longer women stayed on the regimen, the more breakthrough bleeding decreased.
How Designer Pills Work
Normal menstrual cycling depends on complex interactions primarily between two hormones produced by the ovaries (estrogen and progesterone) and two from the pituitary gland in the brain (follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone). The ovarian hormones are essential for preparing the uterus to receive a fertilized egg.
When an egg matures, it produces an estrogen compound, estradiol, which thickens the lining of the uterus, or endometrium. Progesterone converts the endometrium into a lush lining that allows the embryo to implant itself in the uterus.
If no implantation occurs, the rapid decline in estrogen levels leads to sloughing of the endometrium, which results in a period. When women take birth control pills, the higher-than-normal levels of estrogen and synthetic progestogen (such as progestin) suppress ovulation. But even without ovulation, the lining of the uterus thickens because of the additional estrogen and progesterone the pills provide.
Women who take standard birth control pills take the combined hormones for 21 days, followed by seven days of either a placebo or no pills. The monthly period that results comes not from the failure of an embryo to implant, but from the withdrawal of the pill's hormones. If the hormones were not withdrawn, then no period would result. That is the basis for menstrual suppression therapy – the intervals between hormone withdrawal can be extended annually or indefinitely. But is that really safe?
What's the Risk?
Exposure to manufactured estrogen and progestogen can cause serious side effects. Even the so-called low-dose pills (containing less than 30 milligrams of estrogen) are many times stronger than the amount produced by the body during a normal menstrual cycle.
A long-term 1999
British Medical Journal
study of more than 45,000 women reported that deaths from cervical cancer and from cardiovascular conditions (heart attacks, strokes and blood clots) were significantly higher for women on the pill. But the hormones in those pills were much higher at the start of the study than the hormones in contraceptives now. When the lower-dose pills were examined in a subsequent study in the
Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism
, the risk of stroke and heart attack was still twice that of women not taking contraceptives, but low overall. Risks are increased in women who smoke, especially if they are older than 35.
Another concern is whether constant hormonal stimulation increases the risk of endometrial cancer. Studies have been mixed. One that looked at the continuous use of combined estrogen and synthetic progestogen therapy in post-menopausal women found the women's uterine linings to be thin and without the kind of cell activity you might see with cancer. Yet two of the 41 women developed endometrial cancer. Another study showed that about 10% of the uteruses had signs of active cell proliferation, but no cancer.
Studies also suggest a small increased risk of breast cancer, although no one knows the effect of continuous exposure to contraceptive hormones. Some patients may experience breast tenderness that would otherwise diminish without the additional estrogen. Many physicians feel that a monthly break from hormonal stimulation would lessen breast discomfort and might mitigate the cancer risk – so far an unproven theory. The suppression of menstruation may also lead to a delay in diagnosis of pregnancy as the signal missed period is now in a perpetual state.
Finally, what about osteoporosis? Estrogen or estrogen plus progestogen compounds in post-menopausal women prevents fractures. However, some studies of pre-menopausal women on the pill show a lower bone density and an increased risk of fracture than in women off the pill. And it's unclear whether this trend might be exacerbated by continuous hormonal therapy.
Certainly, extended cycle or continuous contraceptive therapy will offer convenience. But significant questions remain about safety and side effects and about who can best benefit from the pills. Those with medical reasons to suppress menstruation may find the benefits offset the risks. But those who simply want the convenience of designer periods may want to find solutions elsewhere.

Faulk's brilliant mind took him to Hall of Fame
Kurt Warner understood what made the Greatest Show on Turf work.
It wasn't his strong, accurate arm or those speedy receivers who stretched defenses to the limit. No, the Rams' secret weapon was Marshall Faulk's uncanny mind.
''He was designing plays and coming up with thoughts that would make our team better, not just make him better,'' Warner said of the newest Rams inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
''Mike Martz allowed all of us to have some input in what was happening, and Marshall always had ideas about how certain things could be better, how to run routes, how to do this or that. You never knew where it came from, but I knew he was a big part of helping develop that offense.''
Faulk always saw things differently -- on and off the field.
He left the tough streets of New Orleans' ninth ward for the sunny skies of San Diego because he was determined to play running back in college. Still, he never forgot about his roots in the impoverished Desire housing project where he grew up.
And while others touted his incredible skills, Faulk never thought the NFL was a real possibility until his freshman season at San Diego State. Even the thought of becoming a part of football's greatest shrine was, well, incomprehensible.
That's how Faulk viewed football, as a small part of life.
''There is a celebration aspect to it,'' he said of Saturday's induction ceremony in Canton, Ohio. ''But going in is really more of an acknowledgment that kids in poverty, in their situations, can get out of it, and it doesn't always come from sports.''
Football was Faulk's escape, but it was the lessons he learned in New Orleans that propelled him to stardom.
He believed in himself. He wanted to prove the doubters wrong. He had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, learning the high school playbook through every position on the field.
So when the big schools questioned whether the kid from George Washington Carver High School could play running back in college, Faulk followed his heart to the one the school that would give him a chance. It didn't take long to prove himself.
In his second college game, Faulk ran for a mind-blowing 386 yards and seven touchdowns against the University of Pacific. He finished his freshman season with 1,429 yards, 21 touchdowns and an average of 7.1 yards per carry. He was ninth in the Heisman Trophy voting.
It was no fluke. As a sophomore, Faulk produced 1,758 yards from scrimmage, 15 total touchdowns and was the Heisman runner-up. A year later, he ran for 1,530 yards and 21 TDs and caught 47 passes. He finished with 2,174 yards from scrimmage that season and was fourth in the Heisman voting.
By then, Faulk realized he would earn millions in the NFL. He also started contemplating the bigger picture, like how he wanted to play in the NFL and how he would be perceived in the real world.
Current Colts owner Jim Irsay loved what he saw in Faulk, who changed the game with his nifty cuts, sheer quickness and ability to catch the ball out of the backfield.
''He was such a smart football player,'' said Irsay, who insists he will always consider Faulk a Colt even though he's more widely associated with the Rams. ''We really looked at him as a coach on the field. He knows the game so well, it's incredible.''
Indianapolis liked Faulk so much it used the No. 2 overall pick on Faulk, who brought immediate star power to a team in need of a new image. But it was his brain that allowed him to excel.
He won the 1994 Offensive Rookie of the Year Award, topped 1,000 yards four times, made three Pro Bowls and led the Colts to back-to-back playoff appearances for the first time in nearly two decade. Then, in 1998, he started mentoring another New Orleans native, rookie quarterback Peyton Manning.
Pairing the mind of Marshall with the mind of Manning seemed like a perfect match.
Though Faulk played pranks on the rookie, they were all business when it mattered. Faulk said he taught Manning how to deal with the media, how to adapt to the NFL game and, together, they read defenses. In fact, Faulk lined up deeper in the backfield just to see the defenses better.
''Marshall's ability to read defenses was as good as any quarterback,'' Manning said. ''He was a tremendous presence for me, and I always will be grateful to him for helping me that year. I loved watching him play, and it is only right that he is taking his place in Canton among the greatest players who have played the game. There will never be another like him.''
But after that one season with Manning and a second straight 3-13 record, a frustrated Faulk worried the Colts' rebuilding project didn't include him.
When he asked for a new contract, with two years still left on his rookie deal, the Colts refused and traded him to the Rams. Bill Polian still calls it one of the toughest decisions he's ever made.
At first, his new Rams teammates weren't sure what Faulk would bring to the team.
''I think originally before we even knew much of Marshall, I think everybody got the take that he wasn't really happy in Indy and wasn't getting the ball enough. So that was our initial response, `We've got this superstar, how do we keep him happy?''' Warner said. ''It didn't take long to realize whatever happened in Indianapolis stayed in Indianapolis because he was the ultimate team player. All he wanted was our team to be good.''
While teammates were busy trying to keep Faulk happy, the coaching staff devised a whole new way to play the game that suited Faulk's dual-threat abilities perfectly.
Martz, the offensive coordinator, told Faulk they didn't want to wear him down with 300 carries a year. So the Rams were going to create mismatches with Faulk in the passing game and let him use his running skills to break free.
When defenses tried to adapt, Faulk simply adjusted on the fly.
The results were incredible: An NFL record three straight seasons with 500-plus points, two Super Bowl appearances in three seasons and an improbable Super Bowl title in Faulk's first season in St. Louis. Warner won the league's MVP award twice during that stretch. Faulk won it once.
But the team MVP all three years was Faulk in a landslide.
''Guys would change their defense completely to deal with Marshall, and, obviously, he was able to take advantage of that,'' said Martz, now the offensive coordinator for the Bears. ''Once you found out what the matchups were, you could make an adjustment on the sideline with Marshall and he could take care of that immediately. In fact, he'd come to the sideline and understand it and say, `Hey, here's what they're doing. How about this?' Pretty unusual.''
Off the field, Faulk became more than just a football icon in St. Louis.
He was a fan favorite with a special affinity for the city and area. He's donated more than $500,000 to help St. Louis' youth programs, still has a home in the city and says he's still a Rams fan. Faulk's newest effort is assisting with an animal rescue and disaster relief effort to help the tornado victims from Joplin, Mo.
''It's really his kind heart and his desire to give back,'' said Arthur Benjamin, a philanthropist and founder of American Dog Rescue. ''I think it's just incredible when someone takes their wealth and puts it into a foundation and tries to raise money for others.''
That's the passion that drives Faulk now.
His charitable foundation is supportive of the Ninth Ward Field of Dreams project in his hometown and the Aztec Club in San Diego. And though his incredible stats -- 12,279 yards rushing, 19,154 total yards and 136 career touchdowns -- will define his professional life, Faulk insists it was never about the numbers or even the Hall of Fame.
He just wanted to be an example for everyone else.
''The hall is not a goal. Winning a Super bowl, being successful, being able to take care of your family, those are the things you look at,'' Faulk said. ''Look, there's no fast track, no easy track, especially from where I came from. You try to take the most of it and learn from it and hope others learn from it. That's what it is about.''

Sheffield United are still in the hunt for new defenders after opting not to hand three Premier League trialists permanent contracts. Manchester City's Shaleum Logan, Gregory Vignal of Birmingham and Arsenal's Kerrea Gilbert have all been training with the Blades and appeared in Saturday's 2-0 friendly win over Rotherham. Assistant boss Sam Ellis said: "We know we need extra cover in case of injury and suspensions and that is what we are aiming for. "We won't be signing Vignol, Gilbert or Logan and the search goes on. We are endeavouring to find the right additions and there will be more to look at next week. "There are no definite names to announce right now but there will be on Monday because they will feature at Notts County on Tuesday night."

An UnFascist world
Digital Art
Drawings & Paintings
It's been a while since the last map of mine so here's a rather dark map for your enjoyment. This world's source of dystopia comes from a far more successful fascist movement, but with a twist. Instead of the old cliche of nazi boots in london and the IJN having bases in San Francisco, the leading fascist evil empires of this world are some of our world's paragons of liberal democratic virtue: France, the United Kingdom and even the United States of America.
This scenario is inspired by multiple pieces which include Soc.history.what-if's "Unfascist Britain" threads, several B_Munro maps featuring fascist Britain's promoting colonialism, Scott palter's "Dark America", Chris Nuttal's "King of Traitors" to name a few.
The divergence of this world is sometime late in the Russian revolution, when Lenin is killed in 1920 before the USSR can consolidate. It falls into anarchy, and is eventually reunified by a strongman on a white horse in a regime that resembles typical latin juntas. Removing the USSR from the scene early does two things: weakens red scares but unlike the alternative of removing it entirely still provides memorable moments from the 1917 revolution for would-be rebels to reenact.
Initially, this doesn't change that much. The first big changes start in the United States, where a less suppressed socialist movement re-organizes in the wake of the palmer raids. The first big change comes when the 1926 general strike is far worse and long-lasting, prompting a very repressive response. The fact that catholic/protestant fighting began in Ulster and Ireland's leader Michael Collins did a large raid on belfast to "liberate" the north didn't help either. By 1928, there is an emergency regime in place in the United Kingdom. Think paranoid elites mixed with amoral Lloyd George types who are able to use the Emergency to do various foreign and domestic policies that weren't possible before. Things like using mixes of bribes and bullying to regain the fealty of the dominions, forming a comprehensive china strategy to work with Japan(finding a warlord, crowning him emperor of china and gaining money from rigged trade deals), promoting white settlement in Kenya and Rhodesia even over the objections of local planters(They didn't want messy working-class types) to name a few.
1929 marks the year that the Great Depression happened, which increased trouble world-wide. The depression would also mark the collapse of Taisho Democracy, along with democracy in both France and America. Attempted left-wing risings along with a less competent president than FDR meant that early 1934 led to an informal coup done by a group of economic royalists. France's own descent into fascism came in the wake of instability in the early and mid 1930s, which enabled the Croix de feu movement to strike and take power. Even without a soviet union, the increased international instability allowed one Adolf Hitler to take power. However, a more militarized UK squished Germany at Munich. Hitler, goering and himmler ended up hanging while Rommel was made Regent to a restored puppet Kaiser. Meanwhile, with both British and Japanese backing a puppet warlord reunited China by 1940. By 1950, the fall of night had covered most of the planet. There were only a few pale remnants of liberal democracy in the form of Belgium, The netherlands, the scandanavian states, Switzerland and Czechslovakia.
The period of 1920 to 1950 can be thought of as the time old liberal democratic, monarchic or even military regimes were replaced by one flavor of fascism or another. From Poland to paraguay, the old order fell to be replaced by a new order of blood and iron. Many of these fascist states ended up restoring their monarchs as symbols of national greatness. Even without a war, the fascist states were able to recover from the depression thanks to massive infrastructure projects and of course the task of creating military infrastructure for the long-term. Instead of consumer growth, the economies of these states were focused on capital spending, infrastructure, research, infrastructure, massive police states, military-industrial complexes and in time space travel -- instead of the postwar consumer boom for citizens in developed nations we instead have the imperial cores as the engine for a force-draft modernization of first earth and then the solar system.
Since 1950, the main concerns have been space, maintaining order in the empires and most importantly ensuring no subversion at home. Belgium and the Netherlands both were starting to lose... resolve and were talking "independence" in the dutch case and "home rule" for the belgian case. Such defiance of the system would not be tolerated -- the cases were handled of course by Britain consficating the Congo and running it as a mandate, along with putting a puppet into power in rump indonesia. After all, disruptions to the order would not be brooked. The largest disruption, can of course be France's near-revolution of 1976 which was put down with British assistance and most of the French empire being graciously restored by the british except for a few exceptions(Indochina, Morocco and a piece of west africa) taken by Britain as "fair" compensation. Another disruptive change during this period was India's economic rise and becoming an equal partner in the Alliance of ORder and Progress -- India went from being practically a medieval wasteland to being a well-run police state with a functioning capitalist economy. Everything was and is going as planned...
Meanwhile, off of earth the space race started earlier than OTL thanks to Britain's getting Germany's rocket scientists after the munich war ended. The first beeping ball of tin was launched in 1946 with com, recon, weather and other sattelites following not long after. Britain started this space race, but it's allies Japan, France and America all soon followed. What came after was a large-scale economic expansion into the inner system and even in recent years the asteroid belt. Mars is a decade into a century-long planned terraforming program, the preliminary studies for terraforming venus are being concluded and there are even starship docks in earth orbit where a fleet of starships was sent out in 1999, with another already being constructed. Much more effort being put into space, along with space's becoming self-financing thanks to asteroid mining and solar power have created the resources for telescopes that put hubble to shame. They have found a surprising number of potentially habitable worlds within the 50 lightyear local bubble. Each ship on the fleet is meant to hold 10,000 colonists and thus the fleet was sent to transport colonists to 4 worlds(one 4 light years away(Alpha centauri), 7.78 light years away(Wolf 359), 12 lightyears away(61 Cygni) and 19 light years away(Sigma draconis). There are other worlds, but the rationale of the council was to try them on the next batch, which is only 5 years away from being finished. The fact the best starship drive that can be managed currently is 5% of light speed, along with the state of the art cryogenics systems only managing to safely hold people for 10 years at a time, before needing a 6 months 'cooloff' period of course makes this high frontier a daunting effort but with Will all things are possible. Besides, the scientists in the lab are saying they can manage 6% of light speed and 15 years of cold sleep time so it'll be better this time!
The technological growth curve since 1950 has of course been far higher than OTL, even if things average citizens from OTL are used to such as cellphones, the internet or even multi-purpose computers have been rejected on grounds of being "unsafe". This is a world of solar power sattelites, exuberant futurist skyscrapers made practical by an improved materials science, 90 year lifespans being normal in wealthy nations, moving roads, holographic TV but no cellphones, laptops or Facebook. Potential energy crises on the horizon have been dodged thanks to orbital solar, nuclear power and in recent years exploiting ocean thermal energy. Other resource shortages have been mitigated or entirely avoided thanks to more efficient mining techniques combined with asteroid mining.
On the surface, Britain looks like a normal if conservative democracy but beneath the polite outer facade lies the reality of brutal despotism and authoritarianism. UnFascist Britain is far too polite to openly admit it's fascism so they find dodges such as citing "Defense of the Realm Act" and justifying things like thbbe return to public execution as ye olde englishe tradition. It controls much of Africa and the indian ocean rim with mandates, colonies and protected kingdoms such as Botswana. With an imperial core to exploit, combined with a city of London that isn't dominated by financiers the British economy, and in particular the industrial sector is doing far better. This prosperity, combined with a few threats and cooption of leadership has turned the great industry-wide union into bastions of supprot for King and Country. Ireland, which was re-annexed following the 1920s Belfast incident is a bit troublesome as usual, but Rhodesia or Kenya's parliaments are constantly talking about their need for more white people to hold off the kaffir problem so two niggling long-term problems may be solveable at once...
The dominions aren't that much better for the most part. They're all one-party states with rigged elections and toothless opposition parties whose members are sometimes outside of jail for long enough to run elections. Canada is the best of the lot, and it's ruled by the heirs of Maurice Dupleiss in a regime even more conservative than say De Valera's Ireland. Oddly enough, Canada still serves as a safety valve compared to a repressive United States. South Africa has full-on post 1948 grand apartheid and is considered liberal in this world. Rhodesia is like a less racist south africa, with a few token black people in their parliament. Kenya is somewhere in between the two. Australia is a nasty populist dictatorship and arguably even more unpleasant than Britain itself.
As part of it's informal empire, Britain maintains a large network of puppet states under it's control. These are as diverse as Portugal's integralist government, the turkish junta, Saudi Arabia, The Shahdom of Iran, etc. Some areas such as Iran and Saudi Arabia are watched, while others like Tibet or Portugal are mostly left alone as long as they don't cause trouble. One constant factor though is that the economy in all of the puppet states is owned by British and now in recent years Indian corporations.
India, the former crown jewel of the empire has become an equal partner to Britain. In the early 1950s certain left-wing types like Gandhi or Nehru were executed but London was able to find solid chaps like Bose and Jinnah to work with as allies. The result is an India which is nominally a federal democracy, but in practice is a decentralized police state that strongly enforces it's caste system. It's capitalistic economy means it's as rich as OTL PRC, even if it's far more unequal. This inequality is reflected in the lower castes having even worse lives than OTL, and the fact that the brahmins are discussing implementing a one-child policy on a national level the way some provinces have done and both South Africa and the United States have done with their africans.
America stands as the second core of this alliance of empires. Since the coup of 1934, the United States has been a populist dictatorship that like the United Kingdom uses a fig-leaf of democracy to mask the truth. Populist socioeconomics along with cooperative links between the government and the churches keep the public loyal. For the overall "feel" of this united states think of 1950s america, but with a massive religious revival going on. This revival, combined with other pro-natalist policies has translated to the United States havin a 50% higher population than OTL. The demographics are different without post-1965 immigration, though. A one-child policy dating to 1948 combined with making many criminal offenses lead to sterilization for blacks means there are many fewer people of african descent in America than OTL. What blacks there are live in walled-off, seperate townships called autonurbs and in most states either need passes to leave them or can't leave them at all.
Latin America is a collection of populist dictatorships on the United States model that are less... politically developed or sophisticated. Many are even more socially reactionary than the United States itself. The strongly catholic regimes have managed to keep evangelical missionaries out unlike OTL. The only positive side of all this is that the region is far more economically developed. This comes at the price of having the economies geared towards serving the American market.
A more populous empire of Japan is the third member of the original "Two oceans alliance", which later became the Alliance of Order and Progress. The government remains authoritarian, but at least the economy is more capitalist and less confusing. Japan is a much more militarized society than OTL. Japanese men are expected to serve 5 years, find a good job and father multiple sons. The women are expected to be good wives and wise mothers, and stay in the kitchen. If they fail to produce four sons, there is pressure to commit seppuku in more conservative areas. However, married women over 30 have been able to vote with their husband's permission since 1978. They still produce large amounts of disturbing animated pornography. Fewer tentacles, though(That was an innovation created in OTL to bypass censorship laws implemented by allied occupation forces. Korean and Taiwanese culture aren't doing too well under the brunt of recent japanization pushes.
Last and probably least is the Empire of France, which still holds Algeria and portions of Africa as directly-ruled colonies. Algeria has been europeanized by massacre and forced religious/cultural conversion of the locals who survived. France has a couple puppet states in africa along with Lebanon and Hatay, which enjoy the same level of independence as say cold war-era bulgaria or East Germany.
The member states of the Alliance of Order and Progress, along with their puppet states cooperate in repression of opposition.
Russia is the largest power outside of the council. It's ruled by a populist junta -- think Salazar's portugal in the large economy size but without Salazar's reservations re: economic growth. The Russian Federal union also has some worrying theocratic tendencies. In fact, Russia even has a starship program of it's own, but due to Russia's having to work with only their resources and not 90% of the planet's resources they're a couple decades behind, even factoring in theft of technical data.
Yemen is a backwater monarchy roughly as poor as OTL, but with less warlordism. A decent chunk of the population lives off of remittances from guest workers in the British Empire's muslim lands.
The Netherlands is nominally a democracy but the same conservative party keeps winning every election. Also, the populations of it's small remnant colonial empire still don't have suffrage, but there are those voices calling for granting them full citizenship. The fact that the Netherlands is located quite close to both Britain and France makes taking such liberal moves a Bad Idea, though.
The descendents of Baron Ungern-Sternberg rule Mongolia as a crapsack monarchy.
China is a slowly modernizing monarchy trying to slowly ease it's way out of puppet state status and earn it's way as a full partner in the Alliance of Order and Progress. The X'in Dynasty is corrupt and capitalist, but thanks to various rigged economic treaties about a generation behind OTL's China in terms of economic development.
Germany is a one party state with oppressive laws that are partially balanced out by the fact that the bureaucrats are honest and are legalistic.
Socially, the norm for this world is populist dictatorship. The more liberal places like the United States or even Britain for white people have a fig-leaf of elections to cover up the reality. The norm is of course something like 1980s el salvador or mussolini's italy or Franco's spain or the greece of the colonels with a good chunk of the planet as being worse. Society is regimented with side effects on youth culture -- some form of scouting participation is mandatory, school uniforms are the norm worldwide and extra attention is put into ferreting out "subversion" in youth culture. Also, people spending multiple years in the military if they're male is normal.
The lack of an internet means that "mom&pop" stores, local stores and in particular stores that focus on electronics or videos or music are doing better. The cultural scene is naturally rather more centralized without the internet to divide it. Instead of being a vehicle for madison avenue to sell product, popular culture is what the troops will like. This is a world that despite better materials science, a big space program and a new wave of suburban expansion fueled by solar power and moving roads is much more like the world of 1960 on a technological level in many ways. The Internet has been kept down on "obscenity" grounds and is literally illegal for private citizens.
This is a world with quite regressive public morals. For example, gay rights is unthinkable to the point where punishments for homosexual conduct range from long prison terms to public execution. Women's rights also lag OTL to a large extent with corrosponding side effects on the population sizes of the white west.

How much of a welfare state do most of these fascist states have? Does TTL's US have universal health care for example?

Less than even Victorian Britain. This world's fascism is more nietzchian. T
UHC? No. In fact, doctors aren't even allowed to give medical service to the poor at the same costs they do the rich. They're required to charge several times more.

Very interesting and scary map!
What is popular music like in TTL-something like 1940s Big Band music considering rock, jazz, and rap would all be ideologically unacceptable? Classical's probably popular though.
I find it ironic that this world has less industrialized mass murder (considering Hitler is overthrown before Munich there's no Holocaust, along with Stalin and Mao's slaughters) and a far stronger guarantee of long-term human survival.

Popular music is bland and state-approved. What rebellious music there is in the USA would probably be lower-class music like country or bluegrass. Honestly, you're probably right on big band music and classical being bigger than OTL. Not to say, musical tastes are just 'respectable' 1940s, since classical musicians and big bands have probably discovered electric instruments like the electric guitar, or this world's electric accordian.
These are genteel fascists. Sterilization of "undesirables" and one-child policies for groups they don't want breeding(africans in the US or Brazil or arabs in Italian libya) is more their style than mass extermination.
Also, yeah there's settlements on mars and a couple starships making their way out to the near stars. Civilization is more likely to survive if things go wrong on earth than in OTL.

He knows he is not the best, hell, everyone knows he is not the best but what he lacks in refinement can be taught and honed over time. I am a huge Big Ben fan and his style of play at the QB position. Anytime you have a QB that has speed, agility and a decent arm with our offensive line it will always be a difficult day for the other team. Just because you do not agree with what I asked does not mean you have to be disrespectful. I thought it might be a good fit and still do to some extent given our current QB situation and there not really being another QB that we could bring in that would jell with our offense and style of play. Feel free to disagree but keep it civil. As for the other 99 percent of the replies. Thank you for your input and time.

It will never happen. This is the same junk people said about Kordell.
I figured it had to be a joke. I mean come on...Tebow as a QB?
that would jell with our offense and style of play
The Steelers offense contains passing plays. How is a QB, who cannot pass, going to fit into the Steelers offense?
Kordell Stewart + Starting QB Spot = 0

Dosing of antineoplastic drugs during pregnancy:
Several reviews exist in which possible changes in the pharmacokinetics of antineoplastic agents are described (Volume of distribution, Clearance, amniotic fluid as a "third space" etc.). Are there any recommendations or dose-modifications for antineoplastics during pregnancy with respect to the above mentioned pharmacokinetic changes? Is the current body-weight or the weight before pregnancy used for calculation of body-surface ?
Pregnancy is indeed associated with various pharmacokinetic changes. Even with regard to non-cancer conditions, very few drugs have been formally compared in
pregnancy vs. postpartum. Presently we are not aware of any such studies
with cancer chemotherapy in pregnancy. Consequently, there are no changes
in dose guidelines for pregnancy. One may hypothesize that for most agents, either renally or hepatically eliminated, levels in pregnancy will be lower and potentially,
effect may decrease.

Costa Calma was originally built around a small village called Canada Del Rio, and began its development as a popular tourist resort in the 1970s when the first hotel was built, which has since seen it grow and grow in the wonderful resort it is today.
As a typical traditional Spanish island, Fuerteventura enjoys a bustling calendar of cultural events and celebrations. Costa Calma's Sunday market is a hugely attractive spectacle, with enough crafts and foods to keep you browsing all day. If you're visiting in February, a visit to the capital town of Puerto del Rosario is in order as that's when they hold their fabulous Carnival celebrations. You may also want to visit the town of Corralejo, which will provide you with ferry visits to the volcanic island of Lobos, and even Lanzarote!
A holiday in Costa Calma is certainly a good choice for those who like their holidays to be serene and peaceful. The town's beaches are highly regarded and perfect for a day of lounging, with fine white sands and crystal clear blue waters. If you feel like exerting yourself a little, there are windsurfing and fishing opportunities too. The town has a thriving Sunday market selling food and crafts, and also well worth a visit is the National Park near the Jandia Peninsula, which is home to all kinds of exotic flora and wildlife, and will make an excellent location for a picnic. Because Fuerteventura is relatively small, other towns are also easily reachable, and well worth visiting.
The Canaries have long enjoyed a reputation for being a top clubbing destination for young people, but Fuerteventura is an exception to this, as its towns are very traditional and quiet. In this respect it is much more family-orientated, though it still of course provides a hugely entertaining night out. Your hotel in Costa Calma will offer you a fine night of viewing, while the town's many excellent bars and restaurants are hospitable, friendly and provide exceptional meals and drinks.

Don't Look Now opens with the Baxters - John (Donald Sutherland) and Laura (Julie Christie) - casually going about their work while the kids play outside, until John has a premonition that compels him to run out the door. There, he discovers every parent's worst nightmare: Their daughter has drowned in a pond.
For the rest of the film, we follow the couple to Venice - a city filled with water, of course - as he restores a church. They run into an eerie blind psychic in a restaurant. She tells them their daughter is happy and with them in spirit. For Laura, it's the kind of assurance she's been looking for. But it's unsettling for John as his strange visions and premonitions pick back up again.
I'll say it again: There's no better era for horror - and filmmaking in general - than the 70's. Until Spielberg killed it all by inventing the blockbuster film (Jaws, 1975), films could afford to be creative and diverse. Polanski's Rosemary's Baby existed side-by-side with The Exorcist, Bob Clark's Black Christmas, the Italian imports of Argento and Fulci, and British imports such as this.
Indeed, for me the film evoked equal parts The Wicker Man, Rosemary's Baby, and The Stunt Man as I watched this couple grapple with reality in foreign surroundings. Don't Look Now is, first and foremost, a convincing and touching depiction of a couple's grief.
Sutherland and Christie skillfully portray the emptiness that a loving couple must feel at losing their only daughter. To that end, one could argue this film is more drama than horror.
At the same time, it methodically builds an unsettling dread as their life moves forward. There are visions, causing the viewer to question what is real and what is a manifestation of their grief. All the while, you get an unmistakable sense that something deeply disturbing is approaching.
Nicolas Roeg's creative editing adds to the tension in interesting ways.He loves to cut away to an innocuous item in the scene. Whenever he calls attention to the item, we wonder why it matters and immediately look for secrets. Is there something more to that woman's brooch that I should be seeing? Will it become more significant later? Some shots are premonitions of the future, adding to the confusion.
An obvious example: A very graphic and passionate love scene is intercut with shots of the couple putting their clothes on afterward, flashing forward in a way that creates a stark contrast by making their lovemaking seem routine.
He also lets many shots linger just a little too long. Just when you expect the camera to cut away to the next scene, our view lingers for a few more seconds beyond what is comfortable.
For example, when the camera holds on a minor character's expression long after the main character has left the room, the camera forces us to question what we are seeing, reexamine an innocuous character's motives, looking a little deeper into their eyes for clues to their true intentions. In all, I can think of no other movie where I've seen such bold, risky editing choices used so effectively.
For the reasons stated above, you may find this moves a little slow for your tastes. You may be put off by the lack of an obvious plot with signposts guiding you through.
But I think you'll be rewarded if you approach Don't Look Now as you would a poem, stepping aside so it can work itself on you. I imagine this is the kind of picture that rewards subsequent viewing.
This is a movie you live in, you inhabit, rather than watch from a safe distance. Simply masterful work.

Don't drop programs in speech, audiology
The proposed elimination of the University of Tennessee Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology program by the administration as a budgetary savings measure is unwise and must be defeated.
However, a positive outcome can result from this ill-advised proposal as administrators and others understand services provided by this department and the work of audiologists and speech-language pathologists. Consequently, justification not only for preservation but enhancement of the program is advocated.
Recognizing the devastating impact of hearing loss on the young as well as seniors and the benefit of services provided by UT-trained audiologists to meet these needs represent a strong need for this program.
Further, as more people understand therapies provided by speech-language pathologists to help overcome stuttering problems, voice disorders, deficits in communication caused by autism, stroke, head injury, cerebral palsy, or a pronunciation (articulation) deficit so severe even the child's parents are unable to understand his/her message, the challenges and service needs characterizing each diagnosis are apparent.
Understanding the role and skills of the speech-language pathologist in remedying these problems strongly reinforces the critical needs for this program.
No skill surpasses the ability to communicate effectively with others. These highly regarded university audiology and speech-language pathology programs should not be eliminated but rather expanded!

Johnny Cash's dark California days
October 12, 2013
By Robert Hilburn
Johnny Cash's life in the 1960s is mostly remembered as a time of glorious achievement - from the landmark prison albums at Folsom and San Quentin to the launch of the ABC-TV series featuring such guests as Bob Dylan and the Doors that led to his becoming a giant figure in popular culture, a symbol to millions, no less, of the best of American social values. But Cash also experienced excruciatingly dark times in the decade, fueled by drugs and guilt over the breakup of his marriage.
A tangled web for SCOTUS
November 13, 2013
By The Times editorial board
A bizarre act of revenge against a romantic rival was the unlikely genesis of an important debate in the Supreme Court last week about federal power, states' rights and the conduct of U.S. diplomacy. The justices were asked to overturn the conviction of Carol Anne Bond, an immigrant from Barbados who was convicted of trying to poison her best friend after she learned that the woman had been impregnated by Bond's husband. Bond stole a dangerous chemical from the laboratory where she worked and smeared it on the other woman's car door, mailbox and doorknobs.
States' Rights
August 31, 2000
Re "Arguing the Primacy of States' Rights--Sometimes," Opinion, Aug. 27: I agree with Edward P. Lazarus that states' rights led to a shameful history of slavery and discrimination. However, Lazarus should take note of how the problem was solved: The 13th Amendment outlawed slavery and the 14th Amendment outlawed discrimination by state law. If the Constitution is to be changed so that other rights are taken from the states, it should be done by amendment. This process is much more durable and democratic than hoping that we can elect a president who will appoint Supreme Court justices who will alter the Constitution on their own. RICK SMETS West Hollywood In his article of Democratic Party propaganda regarding states' rights, Lazarus notably failed to mention the 10th Amendment: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
In gay marriage cases, court must balance strong traditions
March 30, 2013
By David G. Savage, Los Angeles Times
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court heard two powerful arguments last week about marriage for gay and lesbian couples, and the path the justices choose could determine not only whether gay marriage will become the law nationwide, but how soon. One argument spoke to the principle of equal rights. Denying federal benefits to legally married gay couples "cannot be reconciled with our fundamental commitment to equal treatment under law," the Obama administration's top courtroom lawyer told the justices, as he urged the court to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act. The other argument spoke to the traditions of states' rights and letting people, rather than the courts, decide the great social issues of the day. Debate over same-sex marriage is "roiling throughout this country," said a lawyer defending the California ballot measure that barred gays from marrying.
Perilous Tilt on States' Rights
January 17, 2000
Breathing life into the Constitution's guarantees of equality and due process--first articulated in another age--is clearly the major accomplishment of 20th century law and politics. The process by which we have come to agree that states are not free to arbitrarily treat one group of people differently has been slow and often marked with bloodshed. That painful journey makes last Tuesday's U.S. Supreme Court's ruling throwing out claims of age bias in three lawsuits particularly troubling.
White House Plans to Enhance States' Rights
September 3, 2001
From Times Wire Reports
The White House plans to create an entity within the federal government charged with protecting states' rights, a balm for state officials who complain that the Bush administration has not met its promise to return power to state governments. Within a month, aides say, President Bush will issue an executive order designed to shift some power from the federal government to the states.
Norton's '96 Speech on States' Rights Assailed
January 11, 2001
From the Washington Post
In a 1996 speech to a conservative group, Interior secretary-designate Gail A. Norton likened her struggle to preserve states' rights to the cause of the Confederacy, saying "we lost too much" when the South was defeated in the Civil War. Norton, then Colorado's attorney general, described slavery as the kind of "bad facts" that can undermine an otherwise powerful legal case.
Going Right by Using States Rights
October 5, 1997
Herman Schwartz, Herman Schwartz is a professor of constitutional law at American University and author of "Packing the Courts: The Conservatives' Campaign to Rewrite the Constitution."
The U.S. Supreme Court returns tomorrow and, so far, it has only one high-profile matter on its calendar: the Piscataway, N.J., school board's decision to retain a black high school teacher over an equally qualified white instructor in order to promote academic diversity. Though seen primarily as a civil-rights case, it also involves state and local rights, which, in recent years, have become one of the court's primary concerns.
Santa Monica hotel discriminated against Jewish group, jury finds
August 16, 2012
By Martha Groves, Los Angeles Times
The Hotel Shangri-La in Santa Monica and its owner discriminated against members of a Jewish organization at a charitable event two years ago, a jury in Santa Monica determined Wednesday. The case was brought by young leaders of the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, who had gathered on the afternoon of July 11, 2010, at the Art Deco hotel. Soon after their party got underway around the pool, hotel staff and security guards began telling group members to remove their literature and banners, to get out of the pool and hot tub, and to stop handing out T-shirts, according to legal documents and testimony.
Romney tells Virginians healthcare is 'states' rights' issue
June 26, 2012
By Paul West
SALEM, Va. - Previewing his response to this week's expected decision on the nation's healthcare law, Mitt Romney told supporters in southwestern Virginia on Tuesday that healthcare is a matter of "states' rights" and "personal responsibility" and that he'd block the federal plan if the Supreme Court doesn't. Romney, whose individual health insurance mandate in Massachusetts was a model for the provision at the heart of the current debate, said that if the court strikes down the federal law later this week, "then the first three-and-a-half years of this president's term will have been wasted on something that has not helped the American people." Alternately, if the justices uphold the law, "we're going to need a president--and I'm that one--that's going to get rid of Obamacare.
Letters: Gay marriage and states' rights
May 22, 2012
Re "Gay marriage clause added to defense bill," May 19 Conservatives recently pushed legislation through the House that would prohibit same-sex marriages from being performed at military chapels. This prohibition would even apply to chapels that are located in states where same-sex marriage is otherwise recognized. In 2009, conservatives overturned regulations that banned firearms in national parks. The logic was that people should be permitted to carry firearms in national parks located in states where it is otherwise legal to carry them.
Medicaid could be in Supreme Court's sights
March 25, 2012
By David G. Savage and Noam N. Levey, Washington Bureau
Ever since the Democratic Congress passed President Obama's healthcare law, critics have focused their ire on the requirement that all Americans have health insurance beginning in 2014. But some legal experts believe - and progressives worry - the Supreme Court's conservatives will instead target another mandate in the new law: the requirement that states expand the Medicaid rolls and provide subsidized healthcare for as many as 17 million more low-income people. On Wednesday, the third day of oral arguments on the law, 26 Republican-led states will argue that the federal pressure to expand Medicaid to all low-income Americans violates states' rights.
Gingrich makes states' rights appeal in South
February 29, 2012
By Michael Finnegan, Los Angeles Times
With his presidential aspirations riding on support in the Deep South, Newt Gingrich opened his final one-week dash to the crucial Georgia primary on Wednesday with a states' rights appeal laden with racial symbolism. His setting was the ornate chamber of Georgia's House of Representatives, where Gingrich told lawmakers that he would fight for a "very strong" states' rights platform at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. "I want to return power back home to an extraordinary degree," said Gingrich, a former U.S. House speaker who represented Georgia in Congress for 20 years.
Immigration laws pose a test of states' rights in Supreme Court
December 28, 2011
By David G. Savage and Carol J. Williams, Los Angeles Times
Federal judges have blocked strict new immigration laws adopted by conservative legislatures in half a dozen states, including a ruling last week that said South Carolina may not set up a "street-level dragnet" to stop and arrest illegal immigrants. But immigrant rights advocates who have cheered those rulings may soon find their luck has run out as those rulings head for the Supreme Court. Legal experts believe the high court's conservative majority will take a sharply different approach.
Guns and states' rights
November 18, 2011
States' rights is one of those high principles that Republicans are willing to fight for — except when they aren't. So we have to give credit to Rep. Dan Lungren, California's former attorney general and now a congressman from Gold River, because he was the sole GOP member of the House Judiciary Committee to live up to his party's constitutional ideals by voting against a recent bill that steps on state gun regulations. The bill, known as the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act, was approved in the House on Wednesday by a 272-154 vote, with 43 Democrats siding with 229 Republicans in the "yes" column.
House OKs state reciprocity on concealed-weapon permits
November 16, 2011
By Kathleen Hennessey, Washington Bureau
The House gave gun rights advocates their first legislative win of the year in a move that some saw as a Republican back flip on protecting states' rights: Approval of a federal regulation that would require states that issue concealed-weapons permits to honor such permits from other states. The GOP-led chamber approved the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011, intended to allow gun owners to travel more easily from state to state without worrying about whether their permit to carry a concealed weapon is valid.

Matt Blaze
Matt Blaze is a researcher in the areas of secure systems, cryptography, and trust management. He is currently an Associate Professor of Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania; he received his PhD in Computer Science from Princeton University.
In 1992, while working for AT&T, Blaze implemented a strong cryptographic package known as "CFS", the Cryptographic File System, for Unix. CFS uses NFS as its transport mechanism, allowing users to encrypt selected directory hierarchies, but mount them unencrypted after providing the key. In November, 1993, he presented a paper on this project, "A Cryptographic File System for Unix", at the 1st ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security. Blaze also published a paper "Key Management in an Encrypting File System", in the Proceedings USENIX Summer 1994 Technical Conference. At his request, AT&T released this software into the public domain and Blaze continued to expand and generalize it through 1997. It is still alive today as a downloadable package in several Linux distributions.
In 1993, Blaze published (with John Ioannidis) a paper presenting a protocol ("swIPe") that was to be one of the forerunners of IPsec. In 1994, he found a means to circumvent the wiretapping mechanisms of the Clipper chip, contributing to the death of this government-sponsored initiative. In 2003, he independently rediscovered a serious vulnerability in "master key" security in physical locks that was an open secret among locksmiths; his decision to disclose it publicly provoked controversy.
Blaze coined the term trust management to refer to the policy system which decides whether a particular entity should be permitted to carry out a particular action, and has provided foundation research in this area.
