SOCMA Members Advance Industry Priorities On Capitol Hill During Washington Fly-In
June 5, 2009
Media Contact:
Christine Sanchez
Manager, Public Relations & Media
(202) 721-4182
Washington, DC – Reauthorizing chemical security rules, modernizing the Toxic Substances Control Act, and protecting workers' rights threatened by "Card Check" were among the subjects discussed with Members of Congress June 3rd during SOCMA's second annual Washington Fly-In. The most notable of the 30-plus visits on Capitol Hill was a meeting between members of SOCMA's Board of Governors and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
"Concerns within our industry about historic challenges we face on the economic and regulatory fronts is at an all-time high," said Joseph Acker, SOCMA President and CEO. "This level of concern was underscored by the number of industry leaders who came to Washington this week to offer solutions with their Members of Congress. Industry leaders reiterated in these meetings that, despite the challenges we are under, we continue to significantly contribute not only to the U.S. economy as employers but also to the betterment of human health through the products SOCMA members produce."
SOCMA's Washington Fly-In, June 2-3rd, is an annual event that enables industry representatives to participate in the policymaking process by directly communicating the industry's position on legislative priorities with their congressional representatives. It is the highlight of SOCMA's year-round grassroots initiative, known as SOCMA CONNECT.
This year 21 participants from over 12 states met with 30 congressional offices in a single day. In addition to the meeting with Senator McConnell by two Kentucky-based SOCMA members, participants also met with key lawmakers and congressional committee staff with oversight over SOCMA's legislative priorities.
As a result of these meetings, SOCMA has positioned the industry as a partner in addressing the most pressing challenges being faced by the batch, custom and specialty chemical manufacturing industry.
To enable as much industry grassroots participation as possible, SOCMA is also hosting a "Virtual Fly-In" for members unable to make the visit to Washington. The Virtual Fly-in will be ongoing over the next 30 days.

SOCMA is the leading trade association, serving the batch, custom and specialty chemical industry since 1921. SOCMA's nearly 300 members employ more than 100,000 workers across the country and produce 50,000 products valued at $60 billion annually. For more information please visit www.socma.com.
ChemStewards® is SOCMA's flagship environmental, health, safety and security (EHS&S) continuous performance improvement program. ChemStewards was created from industry's commitment to reducing the environmental footprint left by member's facilities. Industry created ChemStewards to meet the unique needs of the batch, custom, and specialty chemical industry. As a mandatory requirement for SOCMA members engaged in the manufacturing or handling of synthetic and organic chemicals, ChemStewards is helping participants reach for superior EHS&S performance.

Prior to the opening of NAB2004, the association's Research and Planning Department announced it would award five research grants to academic scholars as part of its annual Grants for Research in Broadcasting Program.
Each year, the program attracts research proposals from broadcast scholars throughout the country.
The grants program is designed to stimulate interest in broadcast research and research on economic, social or policy issues of importance to the commercial broadcast industry. The goal is to make high-quality academic research available to industry practitioners and other academics.
A panel of academic and industry research professionals, the NAB's Committees on Local Radio Audience Measurement (COLRAM) and Local Television Audience Measurement (COLTAM) evaluate the research proposals.
The final awards are based on criteria that include problem conceptualization, research method, contribution to the field, and the clarity and thoroughness of the proposed research. The competition is open to all academic personnel.
This year's NAB grants recipients and their topics are:
Todd Chambers, Padmini Patwardhan and Shannon Bichard, Texas Tech University, "Media Buyer Perceptions of Media Salespeople."
William R. Davie and Philip J. Auter, University of Louisiana, "Identifying the Goals of Broadcast Weather Training: Developing a Model Approach to Learning Objectives."

Georgia Okeeffe Museum Events
Labels: events in santa fe, santa fe theatre
A one woman show, but what a woman! At the Georgia O'Keeffe Educational Annex, rows of chairs were set lecture style, facing a central point, a modestly set stage with a few items from time past - a pair of gloves, a hat box, a sweater, the promise of reflection on the life of a woman among women in Santa Fe. Deborah Blanche (http://www.palomitaproductions.org/) appeared from the rear in a wig of muted red tones, introducing herself as Maria Adelina Isabel Emilia (Nina) Otera-Warren on the occasion of her 70th birthday. In a romantic reflection, Nina takes you back to 1921, to her campaign trail with a quick wardrobe change, a hat and a shawl. Her speech reflected the integrity of a woman concerned with education and human rights. In a surprising twist, Nina opens the stage to dialogue with the audience, asking for questions from her future voters. In this repartee, we learned of Nina's life, her wealthy heritage, the murder of her Father over land when she was two years old, her husband, her Santa fe home la casa grande (now the Georgia O'Keefe Research Center), her spirited mother, best friend and assistant Mamie, laws and a political climate of change, the fancy hats she wore then and the sweaters she wore years later when she returned to la casa grande to write a book. Later, we were taken to 1941, and then to the tale of her death, a rather fitting scene for such a woman. A sunday morning, a glass of Sherry and a close of the eyes. The performance itself was educational, heartwarming, and inspiring, much like La Nina herself. For more information on the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and their fall roster of educational programs and performances, visit http://www.okeeffemuseum.org/. The museum is a short walk from the Don Gaspar Inn.

In case the recently clusterbleep about Lady Gaga's weight hadn't tipped you off already, today's lady singers feel an immense pressure to be thin. Probably even more so when they have to function as both a vocalist and a burlesque dancer, like former Pussycat Dolls' singer Nicole Scherzinger. In her upcoming Behind the Music special airing October 7, the "Don't Cha" singer opens up about the disordered eating and self-harm that have accompanied her pop stardom. As you can imagine, it's pretty brutal.
"It's embarrassing. I never spoke about it. Like I said, I never want to play a victim, and I never wanted my family to hear about things from me because I think it would break their heart, you know," Nicole reveals. "I guess it was like my addiction, right? I never did drugs, but kinda doing things to myself was my addiction. It's like when I got off stage, I was on this high, and I'd come back to my room and I'd be alone, so I would just do things. My bulimia was my addiction; hurting myself was my addiction." Ugh…we feel genuinely guilty for liking "Buttons" while Nicole was going through all this. We know that kind of random guilt doesn't help anyone, but that's just how we feel.
Having joined the Pussycat Dolls in 2003, Scherzinger's battle with self-destructive compulsions apparently went on "everyday for, like, years. Every time I had a second to be alone, I was doing something to myself." As Scherzinger admits now, "You get, like, blisters on your hands or scars on your hands, and I'd try to hide those. I think the girls could tell." Oh god. Well, as hard as it must be, we give major kudos to Nicole for opening up about her struggle. It takes a strong woman to talk about it openly, let alone live through it.

The Sysadmin's Daily Grind: Sarg
A busy proxy server is something that no self-respecting admin should leave to its own devices. The Squid logfile analyzer, dubbed Sarg by its author, helps you keep your Squid servers on track.
I really enjoy browsing sites such as Sourceforge or Freshmeat for interesting software packages. Of course, packages with interesting sounding names are more likely to catch my eye. I couldn't help noticing a tool by the Brazilian software developer, Pedro Orso. I'm sure Pedro wasn't aware of the slightly morbid connotations of his Squid Analysis Report Generator (Sarg) for German Linux users. (Sarg is the German word for coffin.) But this didn't put me off in the least, and it's just as well it didn't, because Sarg is exactly the kind of tool that I like: lean and quick. And it gets on very efficiently with the task for which it was intended: creating reports based on Squid logs.

PHOTO: Large fir tree falls onto A361 North Devon Link Road in high winds causing disruption for drivers
Posted: February 14, 2014|
A large fir tree has fallen onto the A361 North Devon Link Road today causing disruption for motorists.
Drivers are currently having to drive around the fallen tree, which fell near Aller Cross at some point this afternoon.
This photo shows the size of the tree, which can be seen blocking a whole lane approximately two miles from South Molton.
Hugh Griffith, who works at Devon County's Councils' highways operations control centre, confirmed the incident on Twitter.
At 3.40pm, he wrote: "A361 Aller Cross, Barnstaple direction fallen tree passable with care #devonroads."
Officers and highways crews were sent to the scene to help clear the fallen debris.
Severe gales across North Devon have caused disruption throughout the week, with a stable roof being blown off in Holsworthy and a lorry being blown onto a car on Torridge Bridge.

Gosling aims for first team after cup goal
Posted: November 08, 2012|
NINETEEN-YEAR-OLD Jake Gosling has set his sights on a place in the Exeter City first team, after netting the winning goal in Dorchester's FA Cup victory over Plymouth Argyle.
The young Grecian midfielder, who was snubbed by Plymouth Argyle as a youngster, scored a 49th-minute goal to knock Exeter's rivals out of the competition in one of the shock results of the first round.
Gosling has been on loan at the Avenue Stadium for the past two months and, while he admits he is enjoying his time at the Conference South club, he adds that his main goal is to establish himself in the Exeter City team.
"I hope the goal kick starts my career and makes people notice," said Gosling. "Obviously I'm enjoying my time at Dorchester, I really like it there.
"It is a really warm club to be at. The lads are brilliant and everyone involved at the club are really nice people, but my main goal is to be playing for the Exeter City first team. I hope what I did has helped improve my chances of that."
The goal has certainly put Gosling in the public limelight. The match was live in front of the ESPN television cameras and was played in front of a crowd of just over 3,000.
Gosling says his Facebook and Twitter accounts have been 'going mad' with congratulation messages from team-mates, fellow professionals and supporters.
Exeter City fans have been particularly quick to congratulate the youngster on knocking out their Devon rivals.
"Loads of Exeter fans have Tweeted me," said Gosling. "I really appreciate that, it means a lot because I play for their team."
Gosling has also received congratulations from Exeter manager Paul Tisdale, who spoke to him the day after the game to applaud his match-winning display.
Speaking about Gosling, and also Jamie Reid – who is also on loan at Dorchester – Tisdale said: "It is really good for our young players to go out on loan and get that kind of experience in that type of game.
"And of course Jake got the winning goal against Plymouth, which was fantastic for him. Jake had a very good day and it shows the merits of the loan system really.
"From a supporter's point of view, because it is against Plymouth, that would be of interest. I'm sure a lot of Exeter City supporters have given Jake a pat on the back.
"But from our point of view the experience of the game is crucial. Playing that type of game and getting that type of experience is very, very useful for Jake regardless of who it is against."
Gosling will get the chance for another taste of the big time next month when Dorchester play either Luton Town or Nuneaton in the second round of the FA Cup. He is due to be on loan at Dorchester for another month so will still be at the club for that tie.
After that, Gosling says he hopes to be back at St James's Park, and he could well be in line for another shot at Argyle when they visit St James's Park on December 15.

Before we all forget about Gawker's briefly dazzling document dump of nearly a thousand pages of Bain-era Mitt documents, it's important to dwell on a subtle but super-sized point about the way we think of wealth.
Over at New York magazine, Kevin Roose came closest to ringing the bell. The Gawker dump may not have revealed a scandal, but it made Gawker look as if it had, and the nature of Mitt's financial papers reinforces that impression.
The important point about Gawker's data dump is not that it shows that Romney was lying about his finances, or that he has made millions of dollars from evil investments. It's that it illuminates the huge gap between the average Gawker reader and Mitt Romney when it comes to matters of money.
At first blush, this conclusion seems to underscore the prevailing notion about wealth — it's all about the inequality between those who haven't and those who don't. Those with wealth experience life in an alien way, one that forever floats beyond the comprehension of those who lack it. Not only does economic inequality matter most, we're tempted to believe; that inequality fosters a cultural inequality that hives off the tip of the social pyramid. Like that masonic-looking Eye on the back of the dollar, it gleams and hovers above the stack of bricks below.
As intuitive as this kind of view may be — and as seamlessly as it might shift into a kind of politics that views income inequality as an inherent problem for us — there's a deeper and more consequential reality that underlies the hierarchy. Money, as the West has been able to understand since its inception thousands of years ago, is one of the most powerful equalizing forces in human life. It sets a measure applicable in theory, and increasingly in practice, to all things, inviting us to monetize everything. We become apt to deny that anything is truly objectively distinct, because everything can be cashed out, exchanged, via money and only money, for anything else. Money is what relativizes the world.
In such a world, the wealthy are unlike us in the least authoritative and most irritating way possible — they are just like us, only they have more money. Some of the wealthy, we agree, actually are qualitatively different from us — if their wealth is the direct result of some outsized set of skills or talents, especially ones they were quote-unquote born with. (The determination to excel through endless practice often itself seems to amount to a genetic gift.) But in a democracy, as opposed to a pure oligarchy or meritocracy, fortunes come and fortunes go, luck runs rampant, and emotion, charisma, passion, desire, fashion, and other intangible social and personal caprices weigh far more heavily on the scale of success than mere talent.
It is in part for reasons like these that Alexis de Tocqueville claimed the poorly-off did not want the wealth of the wealthy so much as their pride. That kind of psychological judgment is politically manifest in the standard Republican framings surrounding social class — a "right to rise" and all that. Republican rhetoric on upward mobility presumes what Tocqueville illustrated, but denies what Tocqueville feared — that ours was a necessarily transitional time during which massive but fleeting optimism was generated by the liberating collapse of old, hierarchical orders. The Republican/Tocquevillean nightmare is that this optimism must eventually be replaced by a pessimism arisen from the social and individual constraints that equality — including the reign of money — imposes… and that eventually means, well, now. Tocqueville's recognition that "money really does matter more" in democratic times gestures toward the day when it matters more than pride as a rule, and the equality fostered by the reign of money is fully eclipsed in the public and private mind by the more superficial inequality it perpetuates.
Unequal wealth, of course, loses its superficiality to the degree that it defines politics in a democracy. When politics becomes a machine for generating and rewarding wealth for a tiny elite, neither our pride nor our more primal appetite for material goods are offended most. Instead, our mere competence is on the line. In the same way that we just can't make sense of Mitt Romney's Bain documents without mediating experts, we just can't participate in politics without representatives expert in the ways of oligarchy. To do otherwise is to risk being called (more or less accurately, in context) an ignorant rube, someone who can't sit at the grown-ups' table. In an age when pride is on the wane yet the sense is strengthening that money has fatal flaws as an engine of equality, that experience simply cuts people off from political participation and sets them adrift, inward into their private lives, whether in a lonely or gregarious way (or, by turns, both).
Money turns out to be so powerful an equalizing force that it points the way to a vision of equality that views money the way Marx viewed capitalism and Hegel viewed stages of history — as something destined to replace itself with a more perfect version of what it provides. Unfortunately, as history shows, when undertaken as a political project, pursuing that more perfect engine of equality leads to dismaying and dream-shattering failure. Politics, after all, is not the house of love, and love is the vista opened to people in democratic times by the frenzies and disappointments of money. (It's no surprise at all that Ron Paul's ferociously anticorporatist enthusiasts have proposed a rEVOLution.)
What's the way out of the trap? Simple — stop considering money as the thing that rules and defines the world. That seems ridiculously naive insofar as money seems 'in fact' to 'really be ruling the world anyway'. But that won't change until a critical mass of people commit fully to a declaration of independence from the rule of money. That's a tall order, however simple in principle, because the traditional places to ground that stand — religion, blood, and soil — have lost a lot of credibility and authority, often for very good reason. Once liberated from its associations with certain fundamentally political commitments, however, religion, unlike those other grounds, will probably greatly increase its appeal and power. From that perspective, the most important thing about Mitt Romney and people like him isn't that they're rich. It's that they're human. And only as long as our perspective is still different will that seem like a disempowering judgment.

On This Page
To prevent data loss from hardware failure or from accidental deletions, we recommend that you back up vulnerable accounts and workspaces. This article describes how to back up accounts and workspaces in Microsoft Office Groove 2007, in Groove Virtual Office 3.x and in Groove Workspace 2.x. Additionally, this article describes how to back up messages in Groove 3.x.
How to back up an accountIf you use an account on multiple computers, or if you are part of a managed Groove domain that performs automated backups, you already have other copies of your account. You can use one of these copies to restore your account if something occurs to the local Groove installation. However, if you use your Groove account on one computer, and if you do not belong to a managed domain that performs automated backups, you should help protect the account by manually saving the account to a file at least every 59 days. After 60 days, the account file expires, and you will not be able to use it.
In Groove 2007, you can avoid this 60-day limitation by requesting and applying hotfix 935874. For more information about hotfix 935874, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
935874Older account files may be difficult to reconcile with more recent Groove Relay information. Therefore, we still recommend that you back up your account at least every 60 days.
(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/935874/ )Description of the Groove 2007 hotfix package: April 11, 2007
To save your Groove account data in Groove 2007, follow these steps:
How to back up a workspaceYour Groove account contains your preferences, settings, and contacts. Additionally, the account contains a list of your Groove workspaces and the members of those workspaces. However, the account does not contain the actual workspace data. Therefore, when you save a Groove account file, you save only pointers to your workspaces. You do not save any data that is stored in those workspaces. If you import a Groove account file into Groove, you will see all your old shared workspaces listed in your workspace list. However, you will not be able to enter those workspaces until you fetch them from another member.
Groove has two kinds of workspaces. Standard workspaces store data in Groove in an encrypted format. File sharing workspaces synchronize a Windows folder. If you have standard workspaces that contain only a few members or that contain critical data that is frequently edited, you may want to regularly archive those workspaces. Therefore, if the workspace is lost, or if critical data is overwritten by mistake, you can restore a copy of the workspace from a file.
You cannot archive a Groove file sharing workspace. To save workspace data from a Groove file sharing workspace, use your preferred file system backup tool to back up the Windows folder synchronized by the workspace. Groove does not encrypt the contents of Groove synchronized folders except when the contents are sent over the network. Therefore, a file system backup is sufficient to preserve your data.
If you lose files in a synchronized folder and then go online in Groove, Groove will send delete messages to synchronize the workspace. If you have lost files from a synchronized folder, do not restart Groove until all files are restored. Any file that is added while Groove is active or that is restored with a changed name will be seen as new. Therefore, the file is propagated to other workspace members according to the folder download properties. Although resending these files will not cause data loss, it will consume network resources and computer resources.
To save workspace data from any other workspace, you must save the workspace as an archive. To do this in Groove 2007 or in Groove 3.x, use one of the following methods:
How to back up messages in Groove Virtual Office 3.1 and in earlier versions of GrooveGroove does not have a backup function for your message history. However, in Groove Virtual Office 3.1 and earlier versions of Groove, you can export all or some of your messages to a workspace. To archive instant messages, select the messages in the Message History window, click Send To, and then click New Workspace. After you create the workspace, follow the workspace backup procedure that is described in the "How to back up a workspace" section to archive the workspace. This feature is not available in Groove 2007.
Automated backup optionsFor additional, automated data protection, consider a backup product that is designed to work with Groove. For a partial list of tools that are available from Microsoft partners, see the "Third Party Tools" section in the Groove Backup Options
(http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=24291)white paper on the Microsoft download center. Note that this list is no longer being updated. Groove-compatible backup tools may also be available from other sources.
For more information about how to save and restore workspace data, see the "Managing Workspaces" section in Groove Help.

Rice: New arms sales to counter "negative" influences by Al-Qaeda, Hizbullah, Iran and Syria
The United States is forging new military aid pacts with Gulf states, Israel and Egypt to counter "negative" influences by Al-Qaeda and Hizbullah, as well as Syria and Iran, Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice said Monday. According to her, the new multibillion dollar military sales package will help secure Iraq and promote stability in the Persian Gulf.
"To support our continued diplomatic engagement in the region, we are forging new assistance agreements with the Gulf States, Israel, and Egypt," she said ahead of a Middle East trip with Defense Secretary Robert Gates. The move, she said, according to AFP, "will help bolster forces of moderation and support a broader strategy to counter the negative influences of Al-Qaeda, Hizbullah, Syria, and Iran."
"We are helping to strengthen the defensive capabilities of our partners and we plan to initiate discussions with Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf states on a proposed package of military technologies that will help support their ability to secure peace and stability in the Gulf region," she said.
The new sales to Arab states, mainly Saudi Arabia, would be counterbalanced with a more than 25 percent hike in military aid to Israel over the next 10 years. According to the AP, Israel will receive a total of $30 billion in U.S. military assistance while Egypt, which along with Jordan will get $13 billion as part of the broader package.

As this report makes clear, the terms of the Bush administration car bailout are actually less stringent than those that Democrats in Congress agreed to:
The deal's ambitious targets for the companies include replacing two-thirds of their debt with stock; using more stock instead of cash to fund retiree health-care obligations; eliminating much-criticized union "jobs banks" that pay laid-off auto workers; and establishing wage structures and workplace rules that are more competitive with foreign rivals.
But all those targets are nonbinding, and the agreement appeared to be much more porous than legislation that the administration and Democratic congressional leaders failed to pass earlier this month.
Only the Bush administration could come up with a plan that is even less effective than what Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid would find acceptable. As Larry Kudlow put it, this was "a lousy way to go out of office."
Sure, the government "suggests" the way to viability is to slash debt and align the Big Two's labor agreements with their foreign-owned competitors, but it's essentially just that — a friendly suggestion. Chrysler and GM can just come up with other ways to show they are "viable." But the chances that the Obama administration will hold their feet to the fire are slim:
In essence, Mr. Bush's plan lets the auto companies survive through March. He leaves it to the Obama administration to decide many tough questions after that. Obama officials must wrestle with how much in wage and benefit concessions to demand from the United Auto Workers union, which strongly backed Mr. Obama's campaign and helped him carry Michigan over Republican rival John McCain; how to wring savings from the companies' politically powerful dealerships; and what concessions can be squeezed from debt holders, suppliers and other groups.
Mr. Obama and his aides on Friday were generally supportive of the White House approach, especially the decision to avoid a bankruptcy filing. At a press conference, Mr. Obama warned Detroit executives that "the American people's patience is running out" and said the companies must use this opportunity to chart a course for their companies "that is sustainable." He also declined to say the White House is asking too much of the UAW. While workers shouldn't bear the entire burden of the restructuring, he said, "there are going to be some painful steps that have to be taken."
UAW leaders and their congressional allies were already signaling Friday that they would seek to ease the terms of the deal next year as they expect more friends on Capitol Hill and in the White House. Top Democratic leaders complained about the administration's aim of reducing worker wages and benefits. Rep. Barney Frank (D., Mass.), chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, termed the provisions "an unfair assault on working men and women.
Perhaps with the passage of time and more billions spent without profitability, both Congress and the public will revolt against the notion of subsidizing failure. But fiscal conservatives will need to make the case — as they somewhat successfully did this time — that it is both unfair and unwise for voters (whose own wages on average are far less than those of the UAW workers at GM and Chrysler) to keep these companies on the dole.
This will be one of many battles a reduced Republican minority in Congress will need to wage next year. They may lack the votes, but the distinction between the parties in the post-Bush era will be clear. And ultimately if the Obama administration continues down the road of semi-nationalization the only recourse will come at the ballot box in 2010 and 2012. But billions and billions may have been spent by then –money which even many Democrats would agree could have been spent far more productively.

New Reality Show Gets Inside Teens' Heads — and Their Smartphones
"Ever wanted to look inside someone else's phone?"
That, in a sentence, is the vaguely creepy but admittedly attention-getting pitch for a BBC4 reality show called The Secret Life of Students. The premise is that merely watching young people spill their guts on camera isn't enough. We need to see their social-media and text expression, too!
Like many reality shows, this one basically follows young people around with cameras.
The twist here is that this series' producers also figured a way to monitor and capture the text messages and social media posts of its subjects. Why? Because, says the teaser: "They hold our innermost thoughts. Our secrets. And our gossip."
As the clip above suggests, the way this plays out narratively is that images of texts and Facebook posts are layered over the video, theoretically giving us a deeper understanding of the subjects (basically young people transitioning to college life) by way of examining not just what they say with their mouths — but what they say with their thumbs.
One amusing example: We watch a young woman whose Facebook presence suggests that she's a big reader, as she struggles to actually read. Part of the problem, evidently, is that she's engaged in nonstop text banter about how she's finding it difficult to read. (Insert your own finger-wag at youngsters here.)
Reviewers of the show also invariably point to the young woman who Googled "Is Chlamydia permanent?" during the course of the show — a decision I imagine she will now reflect on for many years.

For those of you not familiar with the magazine "2600", it's a small magazine about hacking phones and computers, that was stared in the mid-80s as a few printed sheets stapled together and mailed out by a couple of college students. It's always been a kind of loosely put together collection of musings and pictures of odd phones, and the occasional cool hack. It's always had a very distinctively underground feel, bordering on illegal, and has developed a kind of cult following. I've always been a fan of the magazine though i don't understand most of it and only read it occasionally.
With the release of this new big anthology, the best writing of 2600 is about to become a lot more well known.
The book is edited and contains chapter introductions (sometimes substantial) by Emmanual Goldstein, one of the original founders of 2600 and still the driving force behind the magazine.
I expected the book to have the eccentric/indie feel of the magazine and be similar in organization to anthologies like "The Best of Creative Computing" -- that is, filled with pictures and organized into randomly themed areas.
Instead, the book is organized chronologically, and separated into 3 main sections for the decades of the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, and subchapters in each section.
It's a big hardcover book, 871 pages. And there are no pictures or photos(!). This is actually a little strange given how many photos and illustrations are in the magazine normally.. I wonder in fact if this wasn't a decision made out of legal concerns.. No explanation is given.
The lack of images and the minimal discussion about the history of the magazine is going to be a little disappointing to anyone who gets the book hoping for a visceral immediate feeling of nostalgia the way one gets from reading the Creative Computing anthologies for example, nothing looks or feels like the original magazine, and the articles are all professionally laid out and typeset uniformly.
However what the book lacks in nostalgia it makes up for in content:
The 1980s:
- 1. Stories and Adventures.
- 2. The Last Days of Ma Bell.
- 3. Fun Toys to Play With.
- 4. The Early Days of the Net.
- 5. Corporate History.
- 6. Raids.
- 7. The Hacker Philosophy.
- 8. Pop Culture and the Hacker World.
- 9. The Computer Revolution.
- 10. Learning to Hack Other Things.
- 11. More Hacker Stories and Adventures.
- 12. The Changing of the Telephone.
- 13. Hackers and the Law
- 14. The Lawsuits.
- 15. Still More Hacker Stories.
- 16. A New Era of Telephony.
- 17. Retail Hacking.
- 18. Toys of the Twenty-first Century.
It's a great collection of essays that reflect the hacker mindset and the amateur hobbyist perspective on hacking -- a collection that anyone interesting in the history of hacking would be thrilled to own.
If you're expecting to get a collection of the best hacker writing in the last 3 decades, suitable for a general audience, you're likely to be dissapointed. 2600 was always hackers writing for other hackers, and these are not professional writers. And if you're expecting a visual walk down memory lane through the history of 2600 you'll also be disappointed.
But if you are looking for a collection of the best essays from three decades of the magazine and the hacker community, providing a representative and thorough look at the emerging issues in hacking over time, you've got yourself a new bible. It's a fascinating book and a great way to jump into the raw source literature if you like that kind of thing and are curious about the hacking community. And if you're a fan of the magazine it's impossible not to be a fan of this book.

The pizza here reminded me of Italy. It was thin crust with fresh tomato sauce, fresh mozzerella and fresh basil leaves. The pizza is great with sausage and peppers on top, and the arugala salad with honey vinaigrette and sundried tomatoes is delicious. And its a little pricey for pizza but you do get good quality for your money!

I have been to almost all Patsys and this was easily the most delightful experience I have had at any of them, food was great, exceptionally better then any other patsys... service was excellent... decor is not the best but hey it's just a pizzeria... what should you expect right?! Go to this place its fun and everyone is friendly.
Posted by Anonymous on 04/20/2005
For a place that has fairly average pizza, they have a rather inane delivery policy of a $20 minimum delivery order. So forget getting a single pizza delivered from this place (they wouldn't even deliver an $18 pizza 2 blocks).
Posted by richie b on 04/01/2005
Average in every way. Food tends to be fresh, but bland and boring. Staff can be rude at times.

I just wanna say that tiramisu they sell is made in Patsy's as well.
Posted by fatboy on 04/26/2004
I've been a Patsy's lover ever since I was first introduced about a year ago. At first I thought "ok it must be just this one dish that they make so well" but every time I bring a new-comer and Patsy's neophyte they all love it as much as me. And I really love all the dishes they have. It is tastey and fulfilling. The staff is very attentive but its not a 5star restaurant. Very homey and comfortable. I've recently just tried the pizza and peeled away from my saftey pasta dishes and I loved it as well. I don't really like to try new things esp. at an Italian/Pasta restaurant because I always wish I had gotten the item that I will always love and fall back on. But I've been "Daring" with patsys and it has never failed. Awesome food. Must try it! Recommend Linguine w/ Clams in white wine sauce, All pizzas, Penne alla Vodka, and Mahattan Clam Chowder. Tiramisu is also very very good, but they order it from a local bakery. Must find out which bakery!

I love this video highlighting the work of our Orphans and Vulnerable Children program at AMPATH! It features my friend/colleague, Elizabeth Chester, who runs the OVC program with skill and grace. Plus, it shows the amazing hospice run by another friend/colleague, Juli McGowan, which is truly the place that saves some of our sickest, most malnourished children.

PSO to Spring to Carnegie Hall in 2014
@pghsymphony I reported on this quite a while back, but since the 2014 season was officially announced today I am reposting it:
PSO to spring into festival at Carnegie Hall in 2014
The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is going back to Carnegie Hall in 2014 but in different fashion than it has before.
Instead of being solely presented by the famed venue, the PSO will be a part of a partnership with an acclaimed new series called "Spring for Music." It is an independent festival created to "celebrate and exhibit the quality and creativity of North American orchestras," with an emphasis on the affordable at $25 a ticket. The New Yorker hailed "Spring for Music" as "fresh at every turn," and The New York Times stated that it gives "power to the listener."
Music director Manfred Honeck and the PSO will close the festival on May 10, 2014, with a concert including Mozart's "Requiem."
The appearance will be the 71st for the PSO at Carnegie Hall and the second with Mr. Honeck (the first was in February 2010). The orchestra debuted there in February 1907 with Emil Paur conducting.

Security officers and supporters have been speaking out against sexual harassment at one of the top security firms in the country, U.S. Security Associates, Inc.
This week in Orlando, members of Stand for Security attended the ASIS International conference, an annual convention for the security industry featuring an exhibit hall, seminars and special events. We spoke with other attendees about the more than $4.25 million that U.S. Security Associates has paid to settle sexual harassment lawsuits brought by victims and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
On Tuesday, Stand For Security supporters delivered a letter to the U.S. Security Associates booth signed by the National Women's Law Center, the National Partnership for Women and Families, and the Service Employees International Union concerning the company's record. Addressed to President and CEO Chuck Schneider, the letter calls for a comprehensive policy that demonstrates the company's commitment to ending sexual harassment, discrimination and retaliation in the workplace.
Some conference members expressed their frustration with the company's sexual harassment record, including a security industry professional who called the company's record "outrageous."
"I have a daughter," he said, "I couldn't imagine her facing this type of harassment."
Sexual harassment can have a damaging effect on the industry, including negative impacts on recruitment, attendance, retention and productivity. It can cause anxiety and depression, which leads to less work satisfaction, less commitment and psychological withdrawal. Above and beyond that, it is just simply unacceptable in today's world.
At a school security seminar, attendees were able to read a flyer about why U.S. Security Associates shouldn't be trusted to protect our schoolchildren. An investigative series by the Washington Times revealed that U.S. Security Associates and its subcontractor Watkins Security failed multiple penetration tests, allowing plain-clothed agents to sneak weapons into public buildings, and was fined more than 70 times by D.C.'s Department of Real Estate Services for security and contract violations over the past year. Washington D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray withdrew his support for the company this past July.
And outside a port security seminar, Stand for Security spoke with attendees about why the America's ports play a critical role in our economy and national security - and why port security decisions should be made without any conflicts of interest. U.S. Security Associates may lose a contract protecting the Port of Houston after failing to disclose a family connection between the security company and the Port employees.
Security officers and community supporters are also setting out in other cities across the country this week to remind clients of U.S. Security Associates that there is no place for sexual harassment in the security industry.
You too can tell U.S. Security Associates to stop sexual harassment at their worksites. Sign on to the letter from the National Women's Law Center, the National Partnership for Women and Families, and SEIU by adding your name here.

Originally published on Tue November 6, 2012 11:03 am
Severe weather could be headed for regions hard hit by superstorm Sandy, so many homeowners are scrambling to make repairs.

Host Michel Martin speaks with Angie Hicks, founder of the website Angie's List, for tips on how to avoid home repair scams.

Sharing the Voice of the Customer
Epson's internal monthly newsletter - called Harmony, the Epson Group Journal - has a regular section called Dear Epson, which gives Epson employees feedback from the end users of Epson products or its external partners. By delivering the unfiltered voice of the customer to staff members who have few opportunities to meet with either customers or vendors, Dear Epson is helping Epson to further raise employee awareness about the creation of customer value.
In FY2013, Epson employees heard from a variety of customers, including people who are involved in local government or are working in the commercial and industrial segments, which Epson is trying to develop.
Regular General Shareholders' Meeting
The General Shareholders' Meeting is a valuable opportunity for Epson to communicate directly with its shareholders.
Epson President Minoru Usui presented an overview of FY2013 and explained the direction to shareholders at the 72nd Annual General Shareholders' Meeting in 2014
Every year shareholders bring a range of opinions and questions to the General Shareholders' Meeting, which the president and the other directors openly address. In addition, we displayed Epson products, including an autonomous dual-arm robot, at the venue to give visiting shareholders a real sense of Epson innovation. President Usui talked about our achievements thus far and our vision for the future in four business areas.

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
To The Editor:
As a member of the Teamsters Local 1L & United Auto Workers Local 1981, I am proud to support Anthony Pollina for governor. In these times of deep economic troubles and increasing unemployment, it is imperative that we elect a governor who, like FDR, is prepared to invest in public works and who is ready to fight for the interest of working people
When Pollina is elected he will pursue policies that include healthcare for all, livable wages, affordable housing, support of the family farm, and the withdrawal of our Vermont Guard troops from Iraq.
Anthony Pollina is the voice of the small farmer, the rank and file union member, the logger and the independent carpenter; he represents a new course for Vermont whereby common folk are the voice that matters. We, the people, deserve nothing less.
If you're having a hard time paying for healthcare, finding a good job with benefits, worried about heating your house this winter, or sending your kids to college, don't vote for the party politicians who promise nothing beyond half measures or staying the course. Vote for a candidate who stands with you and will fight for your interests. Vote Anthony Pollina for governor.
David Van Deusen

Siegel has been a soloist with the world's great orchestras including the Berlin Philharmonic, London Symphony, Philharmonic and Philharmonia, Moscow State Symphony, NHK Symphony of Japan, New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Boston Symphony Orchestra and Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
He was the subject of a one-hour PBS special, "Keyboard Conversations® -- Piano Treasures." Also, there are several CDs of his music, including a recording of Gershwin's complete works for piano and orchestra with Leonard Slatkin and the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra.
Siegel studied with Rudolf Ganz in his native Chicago, Rosina Lhévinne at The Juilliard School and, as a Fulbright Scholar, with Ilona Kabos in London.
The free concert is sponsored by Steinway and Sons. Siegel is a Steinway artist.

Other features include scalloped X bracing, aged Ivoroid neck and body binding, abalone rosette, mahogany neck with soft "V" shape and dual-action truss rod, 20-fret ebony fingerboard with bone nut and block inlays, ebony bridge with bone saddle, bone bridge pins with abalone dots, gold hardware and tuners, and Fishman® Matrix™ Infinity pickup and electronics.

Taking the pickup's tonal variation capability one step further, the Matrix Infinity incorporates a switchable voicing feature to accommodate all guitar body sizes and different performance situations in one system. With a long list of enhancements, the Matrix Infinity has helped redefine the category of undersaddle pickup systems.

Comments about Fender Custom Shop Classic Auditorium Acoustic Guitar:
This guitar is simply incredible. Very balanced tone with a nice punch to it to cut through a mix or a band. Taylor like highs and nice deep Gibson like lows with a sweet mid range. This has the lowest action I have seen on an acoustic even beating my gibson songwriter deluxe standard. Beautifully matched koa with a nice flame to it when the light hits it. You can tell Ren Ferguson had his hands in this design.

Tony Tyler's address to the 1000 delegates from industry and media who gathered in Miami 7-9 June for IATA's 71st AGM
Press Release No.:
Date: 3 June 2003
(Washington) – Leaders of the world's airlines, gathered in Washington for the International Air Transport Association (IATA) World Air Transport Summit, expressed dismay at the lack of effective economic regulation of UK airports. BAA Plc announced a pre-tax profit of to £524 million for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2003 amid the worst crisis in the aviation industry. Earlier this year the BAA announced plans for a 6.5% plus RPI annual increase over the next five years in Heathrow Airport landing charges. This increase was approved by the UK Civil Aviation Authority. "The lack of effective regulation of a private monopoly as important as BAA is outrageous," said Giovanni Bisignani, IATA's Director General and CEO. "We are asking for reason to be the rule. BAA is extremely profitable at current fee levels even as the entire industry is reeling from a disastrous and unprecedented combination of crises. There is no justification for a 6.5% increase in charges above the inflation rate when the focus of the entire industry is on cost reduction," said Bisignani. Annually airlines pay over US$40 billion to airports and air traffic service providers. So severe is the situation that Federico Bloch, CEO of TACA Airlines (Central America) and a member of the IATA Board of Governors asked the World Air Transport Summit to consider an alternative charging scheme. The scheme would have all airport charges paid directly by passengers to make airports accountable for their costs to travellers, the ultimate consumer of their services. The IATA Annual General Meeting, taking place concurrently in Washington, yesterday adopted the Washington Declaration as its roadmap for recovery. The Declaration called on Governments around the world, including the UK Government, to implement effective economic regulation of airport and air traffic service entities which often operate under monopolistic conditions.
IATA represents over 270 airlines comprising 98% of international scheduled air traffic.

At 15:40 "time to what?". It's over folks. Nothing can or will be done concerning further investigation of 9/11. They won. I know this because 12 yrs. after the crime, all that we know, have seen, have heard, can prove, and all else related to this demonic atrocity we have accumilated, still nothing has been done. They ALL are on the same side- across from us- the average person. So, what to do? Hum... Oh, I got it. Why not arm ourselves like they have and at least shoot back when they come for us and they are coming.
I'm seeing this a lot lately. The "the whole this is hopeless, so let's attack" meme. Makes me suspect there are trolls out and about trying to provoke a futile spate of violence that will only result in a more forceful crackdown on We The People. Shooting back and suggesting violence is what will justify a more rapid deployment of the police state that is overwhelming the US now. Better in my view to call out the crooks and not let up. Refuse to participate in their rigged game and wake up as many as possible. If a majority wakes up, there will be no one left to shoot.
the successful way to take out the political elite is through siege ... that would be boycott in today's terms ... once an imbalance occurs between the principalities they will start eating each other ... we can sit back and watch the show which has already begun ... suggest you get to know your neighbors
You are right. 40 years I have been trying to wake up friends and people. As Gerald Celente puts it so well. "Oh well, whats for dinner" "Americans have become snookie stupid". You can talk to some one from another country and the majority of them do not trust the press, bankers or govt. Not Americans, if there party gets in they go to sleep.

Women's soccer team looks to return to AMCC playoffs
- Release Date:
- August 28, 2007
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
2007 season preview
HAMBURG, NY – Hilbert College women's soccer coach James Ruggiero has reason to be excited for the upcoming 2007 season. After coming within a goal of reaching the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) tournament finals in 2006, the ninth-year head coach returns 12 players that led the Hawks to an 8-7-2 record a year ago.
"We welcome back a very solid senior class", stated Ruggiero. Christina DiSano (Spencerport, NY/Spencerport), Katrina Galofaro (Dunkirk, NY/Silver Creek), Jill Kegler (Lancaster, NY/Lancaster), and Jaclyn Seifert (Grand Island, NY/Grand Island) will wear the royal and white for a final year with hopes of another post-season run. DiSano has been a three-year starter at midfield and has been one of Ruggiero's most versatile players with 53 games under her belt. Galofaro has also been a three-year starter and has registered 21 points. Seifert recorded three shutouts as a freshman goalie before anchoring the Hawks defensive backs the last two seasons, and Kegler has proven to be a valuable reserve coming off the bench. "This senior class has been very reliable, both on and off the pitch for us", continued Ruggiero. "All four are tremendous competitors and lead by example. They've been a huge part of some of our recent success".
The junior class includes starting keeper Kelly Goodwin (Niagara Falls, NY/Niagara Falls) who sits second all-time in career shutouts with 10 to her credit. Her 1.55 goals against average ranked her fifth in the AMCC last fall. 2006 leading scorer Tricia Knight (Sardinia, NY/Pioneer) recorded 13 goals and two assists while ranking fifth in the AMCC in points per game (1.87). Tanya Pohzehl (Tonawanda, NY/Tonawanda) Colleen Hanrahan (Tinton Fallas, NJ/Monmouth Regional), Anna McEvoy (Angola, NY/Immaculata), and Jennifer Wade (Buffalo, NY/Mt. Mercy) all played significant roles last season and are expected to do so again this fall.
Sophomores Maggie Fage (Delmar, NY/Bethlehem) and Samantha Cevaer (Ransomville, NY/Wilson) were both worthwhile contributors in their rookie campaign. Fage scored the Hawks game winning goal in Hilbert's first-round playoff victory over Medaille College and finished the season with four goals and two assists. Both players should push to be full-time starters in 2007.
Overcoming the loss of five starters from a year ago may seem like a challenge, but a seven-player recruiting class will look to fill those who've departed. Heading Ruggiero's recruiting class is sophomore Courtney DeVille (Kenmore, NY/Kenmore West) who played on the Hawks basketball team last winter. Brianna Jerreld (Eden, NY/Eden) transfers in after previously attending Mercyhurst College and Meghan Lawless (Orchard Park, NY/West Seneca West) comes over from Erie Community College. The three newcomers join true-freshmen Shelby Seguin (Ogdensburg, NY/Lisbon), Olivia Wilhelm (Orchard Park, NY/Orchard Park), Stacey Cox (Holland, NY/Holland), and Emily Schilling (Holland, NY/Holland).
The Hawks open the season at home on September 1st against Franciscan University with conference play scheduled to get underway on September 22nd at Penn State Altoona.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.
