Copy-paste (net.)art
Last May, i blogged about Plagiarismo, an exhibition that tried to demonstrate that the appropriation and re-formulation of other artists' ideas is an essential component of culture.
Vuk Cosic - who's having a solo exhibition at the Skuc Gallery in Ljubljana- wrote me then that he was putting together a show called CTRL-C on a similar subject. The show has just opened at the galerija Simulaker in Slovenia. Here's the gist:
From Duchamp and Benjamin to Beuys the art of the previous century has asked the question of copying and multiplying as a legitimate artistic practice. The advent of the internet has dramatically placed the digital original and digital copy in the very center of artistic but also economic frictions.
Mere simplicity of making copies is socially not perceived as a liberating tool for artistic creation but is turning out to be the main point of conflict between economic interests and those of societies at large. Traditionalists fighting for Intellectual Property are trying to pull the giants from under our feet.
The CTRL-C show is presenting projects exclusively focused on the artistic relevance of the digital copy. Exhibited works are using the language of the non-original to express a very concrete critique of the circumstances in the world of art and in the society. All works in the show have provided their authors with a measure of scandal and a bigger measure of fame:
In September 1997, Vuk Cosic made an almost perfect copy of the website of Documenta X before it was taken down by the organisers of the famous contemporary art show. The artist saw his act as an 'expression of a rebellion against the art system and the return of art from a gallery into reality.'
Epilogue: The copy found its way into relevant 'kunst.historisch ...
Mental Maps and the Networked Urban Space
Transit by KLAUS FILIP & NICOLAJ KIRISITS :: There is no doubt that within a few years urban space will be fiilled up with invisible data. Digital Communities will be located in real space. The internet will be extended by a geospatial network. All you'll need is a mobile interface (cellphones) to get involved with the communities / information / networks at certain places within the city. But what does that mean for the face of the city?What kind of mental map will we have from the geospatial networked based urban space?
As Kevin Lynch (1960, the image of the city) researches the legibility of urban space, Transit tries to find out the legibility of digital communities in urban spaces. For that proposition we built up an example of this digital urban space on a free field at the Kleyehof (Burgenland) with 25 invited Media artists. The Elements of that digital sculpture were text, video, sound and digital code, spatial located by using gps tools. The grid elements could be connected, to set up different networks.
The Objects are based on a spatial Masterplan, situated in a 3D grid of 1 to 1 to 1 meter; 20 meters long, 20 meters wide and 3 meters high), which defines private area (everyone can see-hear what you do but only you can change it), public (everyone can schange the data), and free spaces.
Transit was part of the podspot project at the University of applied arts vienna / department of digital art. [via Rhizome]

Thieves of the Invisible www.amazon-noir.com Text by Alessandro Ludovico vs. Paolo Cirio feat. UBERMORGEN.COM
We have stolen the invisible.
Amazon, the motherly bookseller, always sensitive to her customer
needs like an affectionate friend, was outraged in her own intimate
affects. Her most precious resource, an infinitely beautiful body of
culture, able to mesmerize your eyes for hours, was somehow deprived
and exposed, after we had eluded her copyright protection. Amazon had
been a witty advisor to millions of happy customers, and had spent
the last decade researching how to improve her service. She had dedicated all her time and energy to building the best
collection of purchasable culture possible. She never wasted her time
investing in public mass advertising or in spamming the profiled
potential new customer. All she counted on and needed to count on was
the grand word of mouth that happy customers passed on one another. That was a killer application – together with the software platform
that made books the center of an interrelated universe. She started
then to hyper-contextualize every piece of her inventory, researching
the overlaps of tastes her happy customers kind of anonymously
displayed. Furthermore, she incited customers to compile lists,
review, comment, discuss and tag all books. But all her love was
finally expressed in allowing users to peek into the inner side of
her treasures: the original texts. She worked hard from the beginning ...
The Essential Tool and Reference Kit for Media Educators
People often ask me, which free or open source tools I suggest for their university labs, which storage archives should be used and which browser-based applications should be bookmarked in their labs. In the US, students would probably stage a riot if university labs would completely abandon proprietary software tools. They'd perceive a lack of familiarity with these packages as a intolerable disadvantage when it comes to job applications and they are right. In the United States it'd be elitist and arrogant to leave out the mainstream tools that are used in the market place. Surely, most of their Floss equivalents are not as slick and are perhaps a bit harder to use. My recommendation is to install both, a set of useful Floss applications and the unavoidable "Photoshops" of this world. I always opt for diversification of tools to avoid or counteract centralization of a particular tool or service. Familiarity with Floss tools is paramount for students as they will learn to use instruments and access references that are available to them for free, which is crucial for the moment that they leave the university and don't have legal access to the expensive proprietary software anymore. Here is what I suggest:
Audacity is free, open source software for recording and editing sounds. It is available for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, and other operating systems.
Firefox The award-winning Web browser is now faster, more secure, and fully customizable to your online life. With Firefox 2, we've added powerful new features that make your online experience even better.

Letters to Father Jacob (Postia pappi Jaakobille)
Leila has just been pardoned after serving 12 years of a life sentence. Upon her release from prison she is offered a job at a secluded parsonage as the personal assistant to the blind pastor Father Jacob, who's life's mission is to answer the letters of those who write asking for his help. Although she regards Father Jacob's correspondence as pointless, it ultimately plays a role in Leila's own redemption and self-forgiveness.

LEWISTON, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The city's superintendent is getting feedback from parents about a controversial plan to redistrict Lewiston's elementary schools.
According to superintendent Bill Webster, 25 new students enrolled in Lewiston schools last week alone. Overcrowding is one of the reasons officials are considering redistricting. The other is diversity.
Webster says the number of students receiving free and reduced lunch and the number of English language learners is far higher at some schools than others. A committee has come up with a plan to even out those numbers. But parents at Wednesday's meeting were upset at the idea that their children may have to leave their neighborhood schools.
There are two schools that would be unaffected by the changes. Those two schools have the highest rates of English language learners and free and reduced lunch, and that puzzles one of the parents.
"This committee is trying to determine neighborhood schools versus diversity schools and they've chosen the diversity model," says Chris Raymond. "But within that they're keeping neighborhood schools within the city and ironically its in the areas where there probably should be the most diversity."
Joanna Quimby says she believes that the rediscricting plan should be based on a family's distance from the school.
"Why should my daughter go like two major streets away to go to another school so that children from Knox street, that's far, go all the way up to Geiger. That's the furthest school away," says Quimby. "That makes absolutely no sense. For what? Diversity? What are we talking about? Shuffling around free and reduced meals."
Webster will meet with parents at each of the elementary schools. The redistricting committee will present it's final plan to the school board in February.

Background: Shellie Zimmerman is George Zimmerman's wife.
Involvement in case: Shellie was charged in June with perjury after prosecutors said that she lied about their finances during George's bond hearing. The State Attorney's office alleged that Shellie falsely testified they had no money. In fact, the state alleges, recorded calls from the jail reveal she and her husband previously discussed how to transfer some of more than $125,000 then raised from a donations website into one or more accounts they controlled.
Shellie's lawyer asked for the case to be dismissed but a judge denied that motion. Her next court date is July 2013, according to court dockets.

|Watauga Letter Applies Heat to Smoky
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 25 September 2013 05:57
The Smoky Mountain Center Board of Directors meet tomorrow with their agenda including restructuring the board they're serving on, a restructuring that will end representation for many of the counties that pay for their agency. They'll also have a strongly-worded local letter in opposition.
The matter was brought up at the Watauga Commission meeting last week, with very pointed criticism of the agency, the CEO, and the action planned that would take local representation off of the board. Wilkes County Manager John Yates said last week their board is so mad that they're looking into paying service provider Daymark directly, bypassing Smoky Mountain Center, with the matter taken up by the county attorney and the Institute of Government in Chapel Hill, Yates saying there is 'murkiness' in the state statutes on reimbursement matters, and they are investigating further. Wilkes, according to Yates, pays the largest amount to Smoky Mountain for services to their citizens of any of the 26 counties in their current service area and would also lose its representative. Meanwhile, the letter the Watauga Commission voted to have chairman Nathan Miller write should have arrived, a letter dated Sunday that notifies the Chair of the Smoky Mountain board and the chair of the Western Highlands Network board of the unanimous opposition of the Watauga board to the change in representation. In his letter, Miller criticizes Smoky for hiring a lobbyist to seek legislative changes in spite of its own board's opposition to taking that action. Miller's letter concludes by requesting Smoky's board to partner with Watauga and lobby the legislature to restore representation of elected officials "so that the citizens providing funding to the LME have a say in how those funds are utilized."

Very happy with this purchase. I needed some comfortable nice looking shoes for work to go with pants or dress and these fit the bill. They run a little small. I ordered my usual size, but had to return them and reorder a half size larger. The return and credit was done promptly and hassle free.
Bought the shoe on sale so the price was right. It is a comfortable shoe & good looking. I am still breaking them in so am experiencing some rubbing on the top of my foot. Hoping it will go away in another week or so.

So, here I am, laying on my bed, staring at the ceiling, with David Bowie whining his way through "Rock and Roll Suicide" over the speakers. Throughout the song, I'm expressionless, motionless, totally dead to the world. He suddenly starts singing some bullshit about how fucking wonderful I am, and my hand suddenly darts across the bed, grabs the remote, and restarts the track. Rinse, wash, repeat. My face doesn't change the entire time. I spend ten hours doing this.
I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know why I'm bored out of my mind, but can't bring myself to move. I'm probably some kind of psycho, I think to myself, but I don't fucking care. I restart the song again. I'm hot as hell, but I just lay there and sweat, rather than get up and turn on the ceiling fan. I restart the song again. Eventually, I fall asleep. I have some dream about D-day, except the captain urging me up the beach isn't Tom Hanks, or John Wayne, but Kathy fucking Bates with a goddamn hot-pink sledgehammer. Weird. Finally, I'm jarred awake at 7am, too fucking early, by the obnoxious beeping of my alarm clock. Shit, that's right, I have work, don't I? I roll out of bed, walk outside, and smoke a cigarette. Then, I go back to bed.
Six hours later, I finally get up for real. The answering machine has five messages from my boss. I chuckle, delete the messages and put on a cup of coffee. Another one bites the dust. That's twelve jobs in three years, most of which only last a month. I spend the rest of the day on the internet, surfing chatrooms, with absolutely no intention of posting, or much interest in what anyone else has to say. My parents get home, and I tell them I was fired. They go ballistic, I get in the car and go to my friend's house, where I'll either spend the month on his couch, or sometimes I'll just sleep in my car.
A week passes, and I decide that I hate my friends, so I go home. I spend the next three days holed up in my room, bed moved against the door so my parents can't barge in, with my Mom begging me to come out. Eventually, I do, not because of them, but because by that point I'm fucking hungry. Throughout dinner, I stare at my plate, while Dad goes on about how I'm depressed. I'm not fucking depressed. Depressed people cry all the time, and I haven't cried in years. Besides, I'm not sad, I'm just fucking numb. Life bores me. I go back to my room and switch on the stereo, and zone out to Nico's dull moan. I half-smoke a cigarette, before I get bored and hold the cherry against my wrist for about thirty or forty seconds. I watch, dispassionately, as the heat cause the flesh beneath it to brown and blister. I grow bored again, and finish the cig. I leaf through an old copy of Rolling Stone, before dozing off again, secure in the knowledge that everything be the same dull, dreary gray when I wake, and dream of Kathy Bates taking her hot-pink sledgehammer to the skulls of Uruk-Hai at the Battle of Helm's Deep.

I believe the rule is in place to keep the passengers attentive during the critical phases of flight. Also, it is much easier to enforce NO electronic devices, then it is to deal with a hodge podge of "approved" devices.
Senator McCaskill doesn't realize the safety issues. The last thing the airlines need is to kill a bunch of pax because they were busy playing games on their ipads, rather than listening to crew member instructions. Liberals are all about "fairness" so this doesn't surprise me coming from her! I don't know about anyone else, I don't care to listen to other peoples phone conversations on the airplane.
Well, the last comment down in this thread from ibpilot72 makes a real good case to keep them stowed. With emergency procedures coming over the PA and the possibilites of turbulence on t/o or landing, it is not an interference thing. Another makes the comments about GPS signals being so weak and possible interference, and I am like you, I wouldn't like to listen to one side of a conversation from a pax I couldn't get away from, for the duration of a flight. I have never understood what could be that important that it couldn't wait a bit.
You could politely ask them to put it on speaker so the rest of us could enjoy the very important conversation. Sometimes they turn funny colors, and even on occasion hang up.
Well, after all, it is all about you. We don't live in a society consisting of different people with different wants and desires and the equal right to achieve them or anything like that. Nope. Just your narrow worldview.
My narrow worldview is better than your narrow worldview.
Oh great! Some self-important politician with a JD and no technical training will try to force the FAA to alter a technical regulation. She probably wants to regulate medical procedures as well.
Is the current restriction overkill? Probably, but it beats the alternative. I had an early cell phone that used to cause havoc with my aircraft radio. Imagine 150+ people using wireless on board.
Actually, the very reason legislators exist is to... um... legislate. I think that idea is illustrated somewhere in that Constitution of ours. Like, the first sentence of the first article.
Your random assumption about medical procedures is, well, random.
We'd really be much better off if we based our opinions on verifiable facts rather than stuff we made up so that we'd have something to whine about on anonymous message boards.
You are correct that it is the job of legislators to legislate. But it is not their job to get so deep into the weeds that they dictate every little nuance of Federal policy. The laws are written rather vaguely to allow the agencies with the subject matter experts to determine the exact details. Even if Sen. McCaskill were a subject matter expert in her own right, it is not her job to dictate the details of federal policy.
If it is written into the US Code that passengers may use whatever electronic devices they wish, then the FAA will be powerless if something comes along that could actually impact the electronic and electrical systems on the aircraft.
If there's one problem in our country, it's that we don't have enough federal laws on the books.
You, sir, are definitely not a Republican or a Libertarian. I am neither, but laws do not necessarily need to be specific. Could you imagine how long it would take to add something to or remove something from TSA's prohibited items list if it required an Act of Congress? It already takes forever!
[This poster has been suspended.]
it woulda take 10,000 cell phones all speaking at once, within 6 inches of the avionics bay to cause a .003% reduction in navigation accuracy on a flight.
Exactly, trying to get an airplane lost with a cell phone signal is like trying to capsize a battleship by rocking back and forth.
People just do not realize, every single digital electronic device, including, believe it or not, many modern flashlights, emit radio energy. Yes, every single one! And no two are going to emit the same spectrum or power. If you drop your device, and damage it slightly, but not enough to make it unusable, you may change, significantly, the amount of radio energy it emits. In addition to the unintended, but still very real radio emissions, many devices deliberately transmit radio waves, including every wifi device, every Bluetooth device, every wireless mouse. Now, most people also do not realize that some of the signals airplane systems need to receive are very weak. GPS signals probably top the list. They are weak signals that require sensitive antennas and receivers to pick up at all. Modern airplanes are using GPS to guide you to the runway, down low to the ground, through clouds and rain when the pilots can't see the runway till you are only a few hundred feet up. Is this the time you want to find out that little Bobby's Nintendo has messed with the GPS signals? I don't think so.
It's not even that... a laptop during a take off can become a projectile in a matter of seconds if things begin to unfold abnormally - it's take offs and landings that jolt the planes around the most. It has very little to do with interference.
Consumer electronic devices are not going to disrupt "weak" GPS signals.
Even if the FAA were to allow electronic devices during departure and arrival, airlines would still prohibit their use. The only real reason flight attendants exist is to help in the event of an emergency. The LEAST the passengers can do is wait to tweet until above 10,000.
It's really getting ridiculous how wedded people are to their damn cell phones. If people have to stop a conversation to read a new text and reply to it, it's good for them to go a couple minutes without the stupid thing on. I don't care how important you think you are, it can wait...
How about mid flight, after clearing the class B airspace? That shouldn't be a problem...
So....I ma not allowed to read a book on my 8 ounce iPad because it is a projectile hazard, but I CAN read a conventional, paper book that weighs significantly more? We have all seen reliable information (not the least of which is on this forum)that indicates that unintended the electronic interference is not an issue, and if someone were to intentionally cause a problem, they are not going to comply anyway. This has evolved into a rights issue. It is my right not to have to participate unwillingly in a cell conversation - and that right to be undisturbed trumps the right to have the conversation. Air rage over the current trivial issues (arm rests)is nothing compared to that if cell phone conversations are allowed....
well, actually, you are not supposed to be reading your book. Regardless if you are a milion miler and have heard it all before, you are supposed to be listening to the FA. My personal opinion is that just like the flight crews, you sit down, buckle up, shut up and hold on until we t/o or land. The cabin ought to be sterile just like the cockpit.
Just sayin'
The FAA could end this rather quickly with a public statement that the reason all items must be turned off and stowed is not due to interference but to keep it from becoming a projectile in case of an accident/aborted takeoff/whatever emergency. Your iPod may not weigh that much, but I'm sure it hurts like a m*&!)^#(%$@r when it hits someone in the head.
I have a hard time believing that my GPS "RECEIVER" that I use onboard to "RECEIVE" GPS signals is going to effect the avionics in the nose of the airliner. (Ilike to know where I am) I can accept the premise that if everyone in the back of the plane is using an electronic device then the "trons" floating around the plane could conceibably be overwhelming, but again the likelihood is not there.
Get around the projectile issue by saying that devices must be secured. That coud be done with a lanyard kin to the ankle line thata asurfers use, or a lapboard device.
It is standard operating procedure when fueling to not smoke and talk on the cell phone. USNaval vessels secure all RF emissions when loading ordnance.
The passenger brief is also an FAA requirement but honeslty does no one who flies more than once in their life not know that you donn the oxygen mask before you help your child? Certainly everyone knows how to work a seatbelt.
Ms. McCaskill is probably more concerned about her in convenience than the flying public.
Well, I think that a Senator, especially right now, has more to do than get involved with this. That said, she is probably just as frustrated as everybody else and is trying to get the FAA off it's duff. It is ascenine for them to allow the Ipads for the flight crew and deny them to the pax. Cell phones are another issue. While they might not interfere with the plane, there have been noted problems with ground stations and most folks cannot talk on one without 40-11 people having to listen to them. On a plane, you have no place to go. The FAA does need to resolve the issue, and quickly.
What she probably doesn't know, nor does the flying public is, as flightcrew, we are required to have the iPads secured for take-off and landing, whether it be an approved lap-board, or other securing device. The passengers have no way of securing their devices to prevent them from becoming projectiles in an emergency, other than keeping them stowed properly until it is deemed safe to use. Advisory Circular 120-76B states:
"h. Stowage Area for EFB. EFB stowage is required for all EFBs not secured in or on a
mounting device. If an EFB mounting device is not provided, designate an area to stow the EFB. Stowage requires an inherent means to prevent unwanted EFB movement when not in use. Dothis in a manner that prevents the device from jamming flight controls, damaging flight deck equipment, or injuring flightcrew members should the device move about as a result of
turbulence, maneuvering, or other action. The stowage area should not obstruct visual or physical access to controls and/or displays, flightcrew ingress or egress, or external vision. Acceptable stowage locations for a Class 1 EFB include the inside compartments of the pilot's stowed flight bag."
So I believe the issue is the danger that a device becomes a projectile more than it being an issue of it interferring with navigation and communication capabilities. The safest place for a passengers personal electronic device (PED) is in their bag or briefcase, since there are no secured mounting devices available for passsengers.

LOS ANGELES 5 ISLANDERS 15 defensemen, 13 forwards, 10 straight losses
Follow Chris Botta on Twitter for updates today
Throughout this losing streak, the Islanders have found different ways to lose hockey games. For consecutive loss No. 10, they failed to field a complete lineup.
Opting against the protocol of most every team in the league, the Islanders decided to not bring an extra defenseman such as the reliable Dylan Reese for the West Coast trip – despite playing three games in four nights 3,000 miles away. With Jack Hillen sidelined today with the flu, Scott Gordon was left to coach the game with only five defensemen. As if playing the first-place Kings wasn't enough of a challenge.
The Islanders dressed Jon Sim as the 13th forward. He played two shifts. Dean Chynoweth gave his five defensemen more than 20 minutes each, and the team spent most of the night chasing the Kings around the ice. As Butch Goring said on TV, "It's going to take its toll on you." Acknowledged Gordon, "I don't think it helped. At times I thought we were over-extended."
Anze Kopitar had two goals early, plus an assist. The Kings out-shot the Islanders, 34-19, including 13-3 in the third period even though they were already leading 3-1. Under GM Dean Lombardi, the young Kings have been re-built. The Islanders, losers of ten straight, have a long way to go.
A change to the coaching staff would just be a temporary distraction from far bigger issues. The Islanders have scored a total of eight goals in their last eight games. Key youngsters John Tavares and Josh Bailey, among many others, have been ineffective. This roster is shorthanded by injuries and a lack of talent.
"Pathetic," captain Doug Weight called the losing streak. "We've got to find a way to get 60 minutes going, and find a way to win a hockey game."
On Saturday night, Islanders management didn't even execute the basic fundamentals of fielding a complete lineup.

In small doses, granola is super satisfying and can provide many health benefits (it's high in fiber and unsaturated fats, which lower cholesterol). But add in excess sugar and chow down portions that could feed three people, and this iconic hippie-friendly snack isn't so wholesome anymore. Look for brands that are low in sugar like 18 Rabbits, artisanal mixes sold at your nearest farmers market, or make your own, and keep in mind that a 1/2 cup serving averages about 200–250 calories.

POTSDAM Now that Apples iPhone 5S has been out a little over a month, business for NexID Biometrics, 65 Main St., Suite 2203, may start to increase.
The company develops and licenses fake finger detection software that determines whether the fingerprint being used is a live finger or a spoofan important security measure for iPhone 5S users since the phones biometric lock system already has been hacked by fake fingerprint users.
Over the coming months, I expect and feel very confident that well probably double to triple our installed base of clients, said Mark J. Cornett, chief operating officer for NexID Biometrics.
Since the iPhone 5S has introduced fingerprinting technology to the public, Mr. Cornett said, NexID is experiencing an increasing interest in its company.
When Apple came out with the iPhone 5S, it was a landmark event in our industry, he said. All of a sudden, fingerprint sensors are in the mass market.
Although the phone was just released mid-September, Mr. Cornett said, a group of German hackers successfully hacked the new iPhones finger sensor by lifting a print from one of the phones, making a spoof and unlocking the phone.
Even though it was a great implementation, it really heightened the awareness that these things are easily fooled, he said. All of a sudden everyone wants to talk to us because we have a solution to that problem.
The solution is the ability to determine when a bad guy is trying to fool a biometrics system.
With people using their phones to do banking, make purchases and store other confidential information, having a phone with a biometric system can be dangerous if you dont also have the software to ensure its security, Mr. Cornett said.
When the fingerprint scanner scans the finger and presents the image to the software that we write, that software is able to determine if that image came from a live finger or a finger with a spoof on top, he said. Were training it to decipher between the two.
The liveness-detection software company was launched in 2005 by Stephanie Schuckers, professor of electrical and computer engineering at Clarkson University, along with her husband, Michael E., and electrical engineer Bojan Cukic.
Since its beginning the company has grown into a notable business, thanks to Mr. Cornett, who became the chief operating officer in 2011.
Mr. Cornett said it usually sells its software to both system integrators and sensor manufacturers, one of which was just purchased by Apple for $356 million.
Wed love to sell to Apple if they wanted to purchase our technology to protect the iPhone user from being spoofed, he said.
Mr. Cornett said that when the increase in business takes off as expected, the company will need bigger lab space and more developers.
As biometric technology finds its way into more and more devices, our company would really like to take our expertise into other modalities, he said.

From a distance, the place seems as if it's hiding. I don't blame it for trying. After all, it remains one of the three cities in Galilee that Jesus rebuked for failing to respond to His message and miracles.
The basalt ruins of Chorazin appear little more than a pile of rocks among so many thousands of others. Clumps of grass and volcanic rock offer a variegated green and gray to the hillside above the Sea of Galilee.
Unless you look carefully, you may not even see the city.
But Jesus saw it. So should we.

LOWVILLE It didnt take much coaxing for Lewis County legislators to oppose to an early-voting proposal being floated in Albany.
And officials in other counties, including St. Lawrence, also are concerned about its potential costs.
Lewis County legislators voted 10-0 to oppose early-voting bills that have been introduced in the Senate and the Assembly.
If the law is passed, well have to do it, and it will be very costly, County Manager David H. Pendergast said.
The bills introduced by Senate Minority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, both Democrats would require counties to staff at least five polling sites for 14 days before a general election and the seven days before a primary election. Early-voting hours would be from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day.
The intent of early voting, which is already recognized in 32 states, would be to improve voter turnout.
However, during an Election Committee meeting held just prior to Wednesdays Legislature meeting, Lewis County election commissioners indicated that early voting could add roughly $80,000 in costs for the general election and about half that amount for primaries.
That estimate would include payment for poll workers, delivery of machines from the elections office to nine polling sites each day and additional ballots. Because of geography, commissioners said they would need to open nine sites to ensure adequate coverage.
They also expressed concern about finding enough people to serve as poll workers for so many days, having to pay overtime, adding workload to their four-person office and possibly needing more voting machines in the event of an extended impoundment.
We dont have the staff to do it or the machines to do it, said Republican Commissioner Ann M. Nortz.
Rather than waiting until the monthly meeting in a couple of weeks, lawmakers at the full board meeting decided to act immediately.
I dont want to waste any time, said Legislature Chairman Michael A. Tabolt, R-Croghan. I want to send the message to Albany as soon as possible.
The Inter-County Legislative Committee of the Adirondacks has already passed a similar resolution, he noted.
The St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators has not yet discussed the implications of an early voting initiative, but it has the county Board of Elections talking.
I oppose early voting, said Republican County Commissioner Thomas A. Nichols. I feel its an unfunded mandate.
The Board of Elections has not determined how much early voting might cost the county, but Mr. Nichols said he expected it to be significant, depending on how many polls were open and for what length of time.
He also questioned how safeguards to stop people from voting more than once would be implemented and noted that polling places would have to be prepared with multiple ballots to cover individual districts.
St. Lawrence County Democratic Commissioner Jennie H. Bacon said she likes the concept of early voting but isnt sure a one-size-fits-all approach makes sense for the state.
I definitely am not totally against early voting, she said. I think it would benefit many people.
Commissioners in both counties mentioned that opening up absentee voting to everybody, rather than only those who cannot vote at an Election Day polling site, could be an alternative.
We already have early voting, and its called absentee voting, Mr. Nichols said. Its a lot cheaper and a lot more effective.

Grade Level: 6th - 8th Grade
Subject Matter: Earth Science
National Standards: NS.5-8.1, NS.5-8.3
The following materials are available from Ward's Scientific Supply Company - http://wardsci.com. In order to reduce costs, 1 - 2 sets of mineral specimens or materials can be purchased and set up as rotating group activities.
Plagioclase feldspar
Orthoclase feldspar
Streak plates – i.e., plain white porcelain plates without any glaze or enamel. Alternatively, you can use the back, unglazed sides of regular bathroom or kitchen tiles. You need one for each student or group of students.
Glass plates – a few centimeters thick to avoid breakage. If you don't want to order them, you can find them in thrift shops or dollar stores. You need one for each student or group of students
Pennies – one for each student
Steel nails – one for each student
Magnifying lens – one for each student or group of students
One or two small hand-held ultraviolet lights that students can pass around.
One small bottle of correction fluid
One ultra-fine point permanent marker
Mineral: non-living compounds of elements that are found only in nature.
Rock: a solid mixture of one or more minerals.
Crystal: a solid whose atoms are arranged in an orderly, repeating pattern.
Fluorescence: the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation of a different wavelength.
Luster: the manner in which a mineral shines or reflects light.
Streak: the color that a mineral leaves when rubbed across a porcelain plate, known as a streak plate.
Hardness: a measure of a mineral's resistance to being scratched by a tool or another mineral.
Prep: Label each mineral according to the list below by applying a very small amount of correction fluid on the mineral first before using a permanent marker to label each mineral with the appropriate number. Use your copy of the Mineral Identification Workshop to keep this list as your answer key for the end of the activity.
2 - Galena
3 - Calcite
4 - Fluorite
5 - Sulfur
6 - Magnetite
7 - Plagioclase feldspar
8 - Orthoclase feldspar
9 - Gypsum
10 - Halite
Luster is the way that a mineral reflects light or shines. If a mineral shines like metal, then the mineral is said to have a metallic luster. If a mineral does not shine like metal, it is said to have a non-metallic luster. Record metallic or non-metallic luster for each mineral.
Streak is the color of a mineral in its powdered form. To observe this characteristic, rub the mineral across the streak or porcelain plate, and observe the color left behind. Record the color of each mineral.
Hardness is the measure of a mineral's resistance to being scratched. To test how hard a given mineral is, scratch a common item (e.g., glass plate, fingernail, steel nail, or penny) against the mineral. Then scratch the mineral against the common item. Record which item gets scratched by the mineral.
Fluorescence is a mineral's ability to glow under ultraviolet light. To perform this test, hold the mineral under a small ultraviolet light lamp. Record if the mineral glows and the color of the glow for each mineral.
Minerals have many different physical properties. Scientists use these properties to help them classify and identify minerals. In this activity, students focus on observing four simple properties of minerals – luster, streak, hardness, and fluorescence.
• What are some uses of minerals? What are some advantages and disadvantages of using minerals?
• How are crystals and minerals related?
• What are the differences between fluorescent rocks and phosphorescent rocks?
Extend the activity by having students use other tools to observe additional properties. For example, they can use magnets to determine which minerals are magnetic, or drops of vinegar to observe which minerals effervesce in reaction to the acid in vinegar. Students also can classify minerals based on their smell and weight.

Additional product details
The Rockswold/Krieger algebra series fosters conceptual understanding by using relevant applications and visualization to show students why math matters. It answers the common question "When will I ever use this?" Rockswold teaches students the math in context, rather than including the applications at the end of the presentation. By seamlessly integrating meaningful applications that include real data and supporting visuals (graphs, tables, charts, colors, and diagrams), students are able to see how math impacts their lives as they learn the concepts. The authors believe this approach deepens conceptual understanding and better prepares students for future math courses and life.

ROCK HALL, MARYLAND (WUSA)--When so many of us hear about a drunk driving crash and the innocent victims, we shake our heads and soon put it out of our minds.
9 Wants You To Know about one family's story that you may not forget so easily.
It unfolds at a cemetery in Rock Hall, Maryland, where every week, 10 year-old Olivia reads a story to her little sister.
She reads at her gravesite, because 4 year-old Emma is gone.
"I was driving and I'm the only one that lived," says Emma's mother, Jennifer Edwards. "Why me? Why not Emma so she could live her whole life?"
A drunk driver ended Emma's life just as the happy little girl was discovering what she loved-dance, horses, butterflies and the color blue.
"Those are real," says Jennifer, pointing to crash photos projected onto a screen. "Those are real pictures. And if I could have handled it, I probably would have taken pictures at the funeral so you could see that too."
We learned Emma's story through her mother, Jennifer, who spoke to teenagers trying to turn their lives around through the RESET program. She confessed her darkest moments of grief.
"Begging God to give her back to me for ten minutes," she said, her voice breaking. "I just want her back."
The sisters spend their birthdays together, too.
"Every year, Olivia makes a cake, and she goes to the grave. And she has birthday cake with her sister. At the grave," she said, her voice trailing off.
Jennifer lost her daughter -and- her fiancé, Brian, that terrible evening.
"I watched them take Emma's lifeless body from the vehicle. Her long blonde hair just flapping over someone's arm," saidPatty Williams, a close family friend and emergency room nurse, was among the first on the crash scene.
Brian was in the front passenger seat. Emma, strapped into her car seat, right behind him.
Added Patty, "I then turned and watched them take Brian's lifeless body from the vehicle. Jen said that he had made a gurgling sound."
Jen was the only survivor of the crash.
"I heard the sound that no one should ever have to hear: the cry of a mother saying 'help my baby, help my baby,'" said Patty.
Emma fought for her life for eight hours.
"They opened Emma's body while she was in the emergency room to try to stop the bleeding that was in her abdomen. She had multiple injuries. She had broken her neck, she had broken her pelvis," said Patty.
Today, a pink cross marks the crash scene. The young drunk driver who killed Emma died instantly. Just two weeks before, he'd been arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. Had he survived this crash, it would have been the 3rd DUI in his 24 years.
Jennifer is pregnant now, due in early July. It's her first child since Emma's death. And it's a girl.
"Alright Emma, we'll be back in a couple of days," said Jen, kissing her own hand and then rubbing it on Emma's grave. "See you again."
