Robert's Blog – Day 8:
It's EARLY… AGAIN, but BOB and I are well rested after a much needed day off in Madrid. As we whizzed through the pre-dawn streets of Madrid in route to the airport my mind started to wonder as it usually does around this time. I am starting to notice the challenges of such a huge photo shoot are not necessarily photographic. My suitcase has become much heavier, I struggle each day not leave behind one of 30 or so working parts that charges something or connects something or adjusts a power source. I have always said being a photographer is much more than knowing how to take a photo, photography is about problem solving and the one problem I had not planned to solve was me.
We landed in Germany and cleared the airport in record time. Today we were being driven to a small village about an hour south of Frankfurt. The first time I looked at the speedometer we were going about 100mph on the auto bon, the second time I looked at the speedometer we were going 120mph, in the moment I was about to mention our speed we were passed by a black Porsche doing at least 160mph. I chose Zen after that and started pointing out every castle in sight like a little school girl.
We were met outside by Joel at a converted mill house in the middle of a lush green pasture beside a stream. It was beautiful; I was ready to pitch a tent when I snapped back into photo mode. The mill offered tons of great locations and I wanted to rock every one of them. Thanks to our friends at 711 photo services in Frankfurt we had managed to avert a lighting crisis by renting an additional lamp head. I was in business.
I got the feeling that Joel kind of didn't believe all this was happening… I have had the same thoughts about a million times this trip so I understood his nervous smile when we arrived.
Joel seemed like that family member that always stays kind of quiet, but always has your back - EXCEPT when he is playing drums. Joel plays with a reserved inner force that does nothing but rock. I think Joel could play hard, and in time for a week straight if you would let him. Joel did not need to say much, Joel let his playing do most of the talking. "I never owned a jazz cymbal" he said with a smile. "I guess I need to learn jazz"! WOW… OK… just learn jazz. It's no problem for Joel.
The shoot went off without a hitch, except, what to do about our lighting problem? My rental was being returned to 711 that day. No sooner did I think we could be in trouble when Joel came around the corner with two 150 watt construction lights. "Will this help"? It was the answer I had been looking for… "Hellz Ya" I exclaimed as I packed them into an already stuffed suitcase full of cloths and photo things. Joel had saved the day, and maybe even my shoot in France!
Back we go to Frankfurt to render video all night, and then off to France in the early morning.
Let's do this one more time!
Bob's Blog – Day 8:
July 16- Germany
Up at the crack of dawn and we are bound for Germany.
It's been a whirl wind of culture changes over the past week, Ireland, England, the eastern European atmosphere of Russia, the Mediterranean warmth of Spain, and now onto the super efficiency of Germany. The one overriding factor that strikes you is that no matter where you go, all drummers are alike. They are of similar character; it's a global club of enthusiasts for the art of drums.
We are met at Frankfurt airport by Jeroen Brieder from German Zildjian distributors, Pearl Europe. Jeroen takes us on an hours' drive into the beautiful German countryside to an old water mill house that has been converted into a recording studio called Sound Solution 1.
We are greeted by Drummer Love Winner, Joel Asbach, and it's here that, with the help of his producer and studio owner, Rene Anlauff, Joel's winning video was recorded
With a huge grin on his face Joel opens up his prize package of brand new Zildjians and gets them onto his kit. Robert sets up his lighting systems and the shoot begins.
Joel has a tremendous playing style, he is rock solid but adds subtle burst of fill, and has great feel. As the studio is in the countryside Rob then shoots Joel out in the fields, by a cabin and finally on top of a stack of wood. It's a cool setting for Joel and his new Zildjian drumsticks!
Shoot over; we need to head back to our Frankfurt hotel. The work does not stop there for Robert; he has hours of work ahead, selecting the perfect images, rendering video and uploading back to Zildjian HQ.
He's doing a great job !
Next and final stop on the tour, Strasbourg, France

Over the past two years, more than two thirds of businesses have lost either sensitive or confidential data due to the careless use of USB sticks.
According to a study carried out by the Ponemon Institute, sponsored by flash memory manufacturer Kingston Digital, some 70 per cent of firms have traced the loss of sensitive or confidential information back to memory sticks.
Furthermore, some 55 per cent of such incidents are linked to malware-infected devices that introduced malicious code onto corporate networks.
Thirty-six per cent of the survey respondents said their approach to USB drives was "total lockdown through the use of a software solution to block the use of USB ports."
However, the survey found that for most businesses, the use of USB drives is widespread. Furthermore, about half of featured businesses have policies detailing how employees can use memory sticks to store sensitive or confidential information – but only half of those firms enforce them.
Meanwhile, the study found that just 21 per cent of organisations with USB device security policies use data loss prevention tools, and just 13 per cent use network analysis technology to identify the misuse of USB drives.
About 743 IT and information security professionals were polled, including employees from government agencies.

KANYE WEST went to court yesterday to be deposed in KIM KARDASHIAN'S divorce case. Meanwhile, Kim's attorney accused KRIS HUMPHRIES and his legal team of prolonging the agony, despite the fact that Kris signed a prenup before they got married.
She said, "She is now handcuffed to Mr. Humphries. These delays are forcing her to be married. She wants to dissolve her marriage so she can move on with her life. I don't think [Kris] has a case, it's a fishing expedition."
Kris' attorneys want Kim to agree to an annulment and admit the marriage was a FRAUD, which Kim won't do. The judge said he'll set a trial date during a hearing on February 15th.
One last note: Humphries started a BRAWL when he fouled Kevin Garnett during the Nets / Celtics game last night. Check out video and a picture of the SCRATCHES Kris received in the fight here.

Downtown Parking
The City of East Grand Forks recently added a Downtown Parking map to the city web site for visitors who are not as familiar with the area. As the Council discusses parking options, the City hopes to maximize the use of existing resources to support our downtown.Â
The Growth Ponzi Scheme
My friends at Strong Towns are offer a primer on the Growth Ponzi scheme this week.  Very simply, the Growth Ponzi scheme is the phenomenon in which governments use future growth to fund present maintenance needs. So, at the end of the first full maintenance cycle, there is little or no money left to reinvest in infrastructure maintenanance. Most governments face this issue as our post-World War II developments age into their 60s and 70s. Don't take my word for it. Charles Marohn is far more eloquent than me. This should be required reading for all students of local government and anyone else generally interested in municipal finance. Links to parts 1-3 are below. The series continues throughout the week.

Is Customer Service Dead?
Bill Bott, of Change and Innovation Agency, seems to think so. In this Governing article, the consultant extraordinaire argues that the bottom line is, in fact, the bottom line. We give lip service to service and friendliness. But, at the end of the day, customers care solely about price and results. Interesting take.
Four-day weeks
From the B&G Report, a new report from the Education Commission of the States showed that four-day school weeks resulted in cost savings of at most 5.43 percent. In an analysis that may be glaringly obvious, fixed costs substantially reduce what may seem to be a savings of 20 percent (1 day out of 5). In most cases, the savings were between 0.4 and 2.5 percent. This level of savings may be why the four-day trend is quickly losing steam. The State of Utah recently ended its experiment with four-day weeks after it found much inconvenience to workers and the public while saving significantly less than projected.
Quote of the Week
"That just seems crazy."
–WDAZ News Anchor Charlie Johnson in reponse to a report that the City of East Grand Forks may have to close the Red River State Recreational Area in a state government shutdown despite a City offer to keep the park open with local (non-state) resources.

BLITZ: Sandies blow past Central, 52-24
SAN ANGELO, Texas - It was an all-too-familiar theme Friday night for the Central High School football team against Amarillo High.
The Bobcats jumped out to a 17-14 halftime lead against the team favored to win District 2-5A, but everything fell apart in the second half in a 52-24 runaway win by the Sandies.
It was the fourth time this season Central has lost a second-half lead.
Amarillo High scored on the opening drive of the second half to spark a 24-0 run, and the Sandies outscored Central 38-7 in the final two quarters to turn a potential scare into a big win.
Amarillo High improved to 5-2 overall and 2-0 in district, while Central fell to 1-6 and 0-2.
"We played really good in the first half," Central head coach Brent Davis said. "The third quarter just kind of blew up on us."
After Amarillo High drove 66 yards in nine plays to start the second half and take a 21-17 lead, the Bobcats fumbled on their next offensive play on a botched option pitch.
Central's defense made a big stand to hold the Sandies to a field goal, but the Bobcats' offense went nowhere on its next drive, and Amarillo took advantage of a nice punt return to quickly score again for a 31-17 lead.
Central's offense again went three-and-out, and the Sandies' defense tipped a punt and returned it to the 11-yard line.
Two plays later, they scored again, and suddenly they were up 38-17. A little over 10 minutes earlier, Amarillo High had been trailing.
"In the second half, our kids came back and just had a resolve about themselves," Amarillo High head coach Mel Maxfield said. "We didn't make any huge, huge adjustments. Just more than anything else, it was their ability to keep their poise and composure and belief in what our game plan was."
Just when the game appeared to be getting out of hand, Central's Whitney Darby broke free for a 64-yard touchdown run to keep the Bobcats in the contest.
On Amarillo's ensuing possession, the Bobcats forced a fumble and pounced on the ball at the 15-yard line, but an official ruled forward progress for the Sandies, a big break that allowed them to keep the ball.
They wound up converting a third-and-9 on the next play and eventually drove 86 yards in 13 plays — chewing up 6:18 off the clock — to put the game away on a 16-yard touchdown run by quarterback Gabe Rodrigues with 6:18 left.
"That call was horrendous. It was just unbelievable," Davis said of the fumble Central wasn't awarded. "We get the ball on the 15 or so, and if we score right there, it's a one-possession game and we've got the momentum."
Amarillo High eventually added another time-consuming touchdown drive that ended in the final minute, putting the final touches on a masterful offensive performance that saw the team control the ball with 57 carries for 301 yards.
Running backs Clint Lee and Ashton Tillman each ran for 105 yards.
In the first half, however, it was the underdog Bobcats who were dictating the flow of the game.
Trailing 14-7, Central used a big punt return by Chase Martin to set up a 38-yard field goal by Matt Opincar to cut the gap to 14-10.
The Bobcats then got a defensive stand, and the offense marched 94 yards in 11 plays (taking 6:32 off the clock) to score with 1:16 left in the first half on a 28-yard touchdown run by quarterback Logan O'Brien.
An interception by Tavion Ritchie on the Sandies' final drive of the first half gave the Bobcats a 17-14 halftime lead.
"They kind of reversed the tables," Maxfield said. "They were the ones that controlled the ball a lot of the second quarter."
Once again, however, the Bobcats couldn't finish in the second half.
Central will try to get its first district win next week when it travels to Lubbock High, the first of back-to-back games in Lubbock.
"We've just got to keep our heads up and keep working. It's not over," Davis said. "And we still control our own destiny. We're not proud of our record, but we've still got a shot to get in the playoffs and make something out of this season."

It will be a busy year for Middlesex County officials, who plan a major overhaul of the county government website and millions of dollars in open space acquisition and development projects.
Among the projects is a plan to transform the Middlesex County Improvement Authority-owned Roosevelt Care Center in Edison into affordable apartments for seniors.
"We see this as a first step to building a health-care campus in and around the historic building, which one day could include doctors' offices, dialysis and rehabilitation centers and an adult day care center," Freeholder Director Ronald ...

Genes That Fend Off Cancer
Ken Offit aims to find out why some women escape the disease.
Women who carry mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes have a dramatically increased risk of developing breast cancer: a 36 to 85 percent chance of developing the disease during their lifetime, which is three to five times greater than the average risk rate. Ken Offit, chief of the clinical genetics service at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, in New York, wants to know how the other 15 to 64 percent escape unscathed.
Genetic microarrays that allow scientists to quickly screen the genomes of thousands of patients are finally bringing that question within reach. In a new study, scientists around the globe are collecting DNA samples from women with mutations in BRCA2. Researchers will scour their genomes for variations that are more common in carriers who have made it to old age cancer free. If they're successful, the study could point to genetic pathways that reveal new ways to treat cancer or prevent it before it even begins.
Because genetic variations that protect against cancer are expected to exert only a moderate effect on breast-cancer risk, scientists need to study thousands of women to find them. And because BRCA mutations are rare, occurring in about 1 in 400 women in the general population (and about 1 in 40 Ashkenazi Jewish women), cancer and genetics centers all over the world are collaborating on the study. Offit talks with Technology Review about the genetics of cancer protection.
Technology Review: Tell us about the new study.
Ken Offit: We're focusing on two extreme phenotypes in breast cancer. At one end of the spectrum are women who have inherited a predisposing mutation which vastly increases the risk of breast cancer and who develop it at early age. At the other extreme are older women who have not developed cancer, despite having that predisposing mutation. We will search for [genetic variations] that are protective against breast cancer.
It's a very simple study that we've been wanting to do for a long time.
TR: Why is the study only now being carried out?
KO: Two factors have finally come together to make it feasible. The technology is at hand: SNP arrays [microarrays that can quickly detect single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs, across the entire genome]. And through international collaboration, we finally have enough women to do the study.
We already have in hand over 5,000 carriers of BRCA2 from around the world. That's an extraordinary number of individuals coming from virtually every major cancer and genetics center around the world.
TR: Have genetic factors that are protective against breast cancer been found before?
KO: Candidate gene studies have found some protective markers–for example, a SNP in a gene called rad51, which appears to confer some protection in BRCA2 carriers. It's a gene involved in the process of DNA damage response and repair.

As parents, we have a significant role in nurturing our children's interests, values and, ultimately, career decisions. Often, we unintentionally introduce gender stereotypes (beliefs about acceptable roles for boys or girls) through our interactions with our children or introduce gender stereotype thinking into the home. As parents of a little girl and a grown woman, we are aware of the dangers of gender stereotyping. We have always been conscious of finding ways to instill values of gender equality and androgyny, behavior that is neither masculine nor feminine. For example, when Kathy realized she was defaulting to the male pronoun, she began trying to insert the female pronoun or both pronouns into her speech. Her daughter has become so attuned to gender-neutral language, that, when discussing the activity of an insect, she'll proclaim that "he or she is crawling up the wall."
However, despite efforts by us (including our husbands) to model androgyny in our behaviors at home, our daughters still managed to absorb societal beliefs of what is for "girls" and what is for "boys." For example, when Kathy asked her daughter what she wanted to be as a grown-up, she said she wanted to be a nurse. When asked why, she said "because I'm a girl." What a logical conclusion – every time she has gone to the doctor, her nurse has been female. And virtually every doctor has been male. You can bet that the very next thing Kathy did was search for a female doctor and a male nurse! We began to wonder why these beliefs continue to be so pervasive and what effects they were having on Kathy's daughter, Carolyn's daughter, other girls, and young women as they form their career goals. And, more importantly, what can we do to counter these effects?
Parents' Beliefs and Behaviors
Because the family unit is the starting point, and possibly the most significant place for our children to begin developing gender stereotypes and how they relate to career goals, parents have a powerful role in our children's career development through the opportunities we provide, the nature of our family relationships, and our behaviors and beliefs. Indeed, parents and children tend to have very similar career goals and values. When we have strong bonds with our children, we easily transmit our values, beliefs, and interests to them, and this can contribute to our children's career choices and success. As parents who support and advise our children's career development, we pave the way for our children to feel free to pursue non-traditional careers, such as engineering or computer science for girls, and music or elementary school teaching for boys –or not!
Although both mothers and fathers have an impact on children's career development, mothers may be more influential than fathers, teachers, and even peers. Children who identify strongly with their mothers tend to put more value on school, have a higher selfconcept, and have higher educational expectations. High school juniors report that they talk more to their mothers than anyone else about their career plans and the training and education needed for a career. Fathers, second only to mothers, also have an important role in teens' career planning. It is clear that, as parents, we have a profound impact on our children's career development. For example, parents who value education tend to have children with professional career goals, and parents who value athletics tend to have children with athletic career goals.
Our values also influence the particular interests, developed competencies, and self-concepts our children cultivate, and these characteristics are important indicators of career choice. For example, if we show that we place a high value on science ability, then our children are likely to be interested in science, feel confident in their science abilities, and take advanced courses in that subject. Attaching value to an area of study and holding high expectations for performance in that domain is likely to influence a child also to place high value on that performance domain and strive to feel competent at it. Competence in an area leads to a tendency to see the possibility for related careers.
We also affect our children's career choices by passing along gender stereotypes. The ways in which such stereotypes are relayed to children can be subtle but consistent, sending a clear message about the academic domains at which boys and girls are supposed to excel. Parents tend to help their children with school assignments in gender-stereotypic ways; for example, Dad may help with math homework and Mom with language arts homework. In addition, parents tend to identify their child's giftedness in gender-stereotypic ways (again, boys are good at math and science, and girls are good at language arts). Indeed, parents' beliefs about their children's abilities in areas like math, English, and sports are more influenced by their children's gender than actual ability.
Ultimately, our beliefs affect our behaviors, which in turn influence children's development of self-concept, interests, and career goals. Our beliefs affect the way we explain our children's successes, how we react emotionally to our children's achievements, the value we place on our children's accomplishments in certain activities (such as sports, math, or dance), and the activities, toys, and experiences we choose for our children.
A Study at the University of Virginia
These understandings led a group of us at the University of Virginia to investigate the effects of parents' beliefs about their children's abilities on the way gifted students viewed themselves in the areas of math, science, humanities (for example, visual art, foreign language, writing, and philosophy), and social sciences.
About 500 5th to 11th grade students and their parents responded to questions about their beliefs of the students' academic abilities. We found that parents' beliefs were very much related to their children's beliefs about their abilities, particularly for math. We also found that both parents and their children viewed the students' abilities along gender-stereotypic lines.
Specifically, we found that parents viewed their sons as more capable in math and science, and their daughters as more capable in the humanities. Considering the apparent influence that parents and children have on each other's perceptions of students' abilities, we expected that children would view themselves in a similar pattern. Instead we found that boys and girls had equally high perceptions of their abilities in all academic areas except for humanities, where girls had more positive perceptions of their abilities than did boys.
What we can learn from this study is that, fortunately, our children are less stereotypic than their parents are when it comes to gender and academic ability. Even though the math and science fields are still dominated by men, the future looks bright because our daughters feel equal to their male classmates in math and science. However, our sons continue to lack confidence in their abilities within the humanities. In addition, the results from this study suggest that parents are still viewing their boys as better in math and science, and their girls as better in humanities, and may be steering their children toward careers according to these gender stereotypes. As a society, we have worked very hard to encourage girls to believe that they may achieve in traditionally male domains, but it appears that we may have left the boys to languish in the belief that they are inferior in the language arts and that drama, poetry, dance, music, and philosophy are female domains.
Suggestions for Parents
As parents, it is important to remember that the ideals of genderequality apply to both genders. Research shows that children who have androgynous views of careers are more likely to select careers that fit their likes and dislikes, rather than stereotypes of what is appropriate for men and women. As parents who want happy children who will one day become successful, satisfied adults, we should remind our children that they can be whoever they want to be. We should seek out examples of people who defy gender stereotypes. Take your children to a female doctor with a male nurse. Introduce your children to a female architect or engineer. Take your children to a ballet with male and female performers. Read books with your children about female mechanics, male violinists, and female philosophers.
We should remember that we have a critical role in the development of our children's self-concepts, interests, and career goals. As such, it is important that we cultivate open lines of communication with our children. Just as we talk with our children about staying away from drugs and taking responsibility for our actions, we should also talk to them about careers and the world of work. Discuss your career with your children and around your children. This helps children, from a very young age, understand that employment makes up a major portion of adult life and, ideally, employment should be enjoyable and fulfilling. Introduce your children to people in a variety of careers, and encourage them to think about how their educational choices (such as advanced math or honors-level English) may influence their career choices. For example, courses in advanced math will prepare your student for an array for career options, such as engineering or computer science, that may not seem possible without such experiences. Similarly, more rigorous English courses help students build confidence with written communication, a skill that is critical in almost any occupational field. When your child shows a passion for something, such as public speaking, take a moment to discuss careers in which public speaking is an important skill. Most importantly, consider your own behavior and beliefs, and be alert to opportunities to change them. These simple steps can encourage your child to keep doors open for many possibilities in life, unfettered by gender stereotypes.

"In the entanglement of death, lies, and love, 'Dead Man's Cell Phone' explores the effect of technology of the modern person and the importance of what truly knowing another human means." –Stephanie Hettrick
On February 14th, 15th, and 16th, Reinhardt University's theatre program performed Dead Man's Cell Phone, written by Sarah Ruhl. They performed this show in the Hoke 'O' Kelly with six cast members. The director, Stephanie Hettrick, and stage manager, Lauren Friday, worked non-stop on blocking, building, and characterizing the show, as they only had three weeks to prepare.
In the play, the main character Jean, played by Allie Glonek, is first seen sitting in a café with only one man at another table. After having to answer his continuingly ringing phone, she realizes that the stranger, Gordon, played by Nick Cothran, has died. Connected to him only by his cell phone, she continues to answer his calls and console his loved ones. She then meets his mother, Mrs. Gotlieb, played by Sophie Decker, his wife, Hermia, played by Katelyn Pickel, his brother, Dwight, played by Conner Williams, and his mistress, The Other Woman, played by Kate Johnson. She becomes twisted up in not only his lies, but also in her own, as she tries to find a real connection between herself and others instead of a connection through Gordon's cell phone.
Dead Man's Cell Phone was chosen by Hettrick for many different reasons. As a student director, she was given the task to find a show that casted only 6 people in it. She chose the show because its values were similar to her own. She grew up in a family that believed in one on one connection over cellular relations. When she first stumbled upon the show at Shorter, she immediately connected with it because of her connection to the main character, Jean. "Jean's," Hettrick said, "only connection to Gordon was through a phone, and that's exactly what she was raised to be against."
Hettrick chose the stage set-up to better accommodate the actors and the audience . She first wanted the lighting to be as professional as possible. The lighting for the stage created bad shadowing, but on the floor was much easier to work with. Also, without the proper seating, it is usually painful for the viewer to sit and look up to the stage, when it is much more realistic to view and relate to the show if it is right in front of the viewer. They decided on putting the stage set-up in the left corner of the Hoke jokingly at first, but after testing this set-up, it turned out to be the best choice for not only the actors, but the audience as well.
Allie Glonek said, "The rehearsals were very collaborative. It took a lot of effort on everyone's part." She said in the beginning of the rehearsals, it was very nice to be able to gather the cast together and go over the relationships between the characters and work on what their own character's personalities would be like. She called this a "character run-through". If she had to describe the rehearsal process in three words, the three words would be "Quick, concentrated, and precise."
When Glonek was asked how she could connect to the show and why, she responded that she could relate to the show and her character a lot because she loathes having a cell phone and she hates how connected everyone seems to be with their cell at all times. If you're out, there are always two or three people using their cell phone. Connection is now through a device instead of personal contact. Allie said, "If there was one thing to be learned from the show, it would be to not disregard the people in front of you because you feel like you will always be able to contact them. One day, you might not be able to."
The turn-out for all nights was very good, considering the space and time given to perform the show. Audience member Justin Buddenhagen said that Dead Man's Cell Phone was "A treat of theater for Waleska. Compelling acting, wonderful directing." He also recommended, during the weekend it was performed, that everyone should come see the show.

An important part of authoring good web maps is configuring pop-ups for layers. Pop-ups can be edited by accessing the Pop-up Properties. You can open the pop-up properties by clicking a layer, and choosing Configure Pop-up as shown below:
There are several options to choose from when configuring the pop-up display, including choosing from and modifying a list of field attributes, choosing contents from a single field for display, and removing the attribute display altogether.
A very flexible choice that permits the combination of free text, field contents, and links is a custom attribute display. You'll find it among the pop-up contents display options. Choose A custom attribute display:
Then click Configure:
Working with Custom Attribute Display
In Custom Attribute Display you can enter a combination of free text and fields chosen from the drop down list.
For example, below we've added a combination of free text and fields in the pop-up configuration for a layer containing locations of high peaks in California. What appears within curly braces (brackets) are the field names, and when the pop-up is opened these will be replaced by the field attributes for the feature.
After you've configured the custom display, save your changes. Here's how the above pop-up appears:
Other style options can be applied to field names as desired. Select the field name (including the curly braces) and apply the desired styling. Below we've changed the name of the peak to appear in red bold text:
Adding links from fields
You can also use fields as text links in custom attribute displays. Use the drop down to select the field containing the link and add it to your custom attribute display. In this case we've chosen a field containing a link to the credit information for the photo of each peak:
However when the pop-up is opened, we don't quite get the desired result – we see the URL string displayed, but not as a link:
How do we create the link? Copy the field name, add the text for the link and select it, then click Create Link and paste the field name in the URL input shown below:
Here's the pop-up after these changes. The text "Photo credits" is now a unique hyperlink, with the link going to the URL stored in {Photo_Credit} for each feature:
Enhancing your custom attribute display pop-ups
You can add other pop-up elements like images and charts to your custom attribute displays. We've completed our pop-up configuration by adding a link to a thumbnail photo of each peak, which when clicked opens a larger version of the same photo:

Abstract: This paper argues that Locke has a representative theory of sensitive knowledge. Perceivers are immediately aware of nothing but sensory ideas in the mind; yet perceivers think of real external substances that correspond to and cause those ideas, and they are warranted in believing that those substances exist (at that time). The theory poses two questions: what warrants the truth of such beliefs? What is it in virtue of which sensory ideas represent external objects and how do they make perceivers think of those objects? Both the epistemic and semantic issues need to be addressed. This paper urges that Locke's basic account of warrant is roughly reliabilist. The causal origin of sensory ideas assures that, in general, sense based beliefs are true. Locke defines the limit of this warrant by the theoretical point that we cannot discuss skeptical doubt without assuming the truthfulness of our perceptual faculty. Turning to the semantic question, the paper argues that ideas are mental modifications or entities. They are not intrinsically representative (satisfiable), but rather represent only by virtue of their causal origin. They merely "track" the presence of substances and their qualities. Ideas nevertheless prompt perceivers to think of their causes. This is roughly because sensory ideas have a specific mental role, namely, to serve as marks for distinguishing substances and their respective qualities for purposes of action. The paper suggests that, for Locke, the challenge posed by the semantic veil of ideas is to explain this externally directed marking function within bounds of his anti-innatism. But it concludes that his answers to the twin questions fit together reasonably well.

On the front lines of the African climate change battle
'99.99% of antiques in the market are fake'
11 Oct 2012 09:15 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, United States
Since the year 2000, out of 146 million registered voters, there have been just 10 cases of voter impersonation at the polls, according to News21, an investigative reporting project.
"For some of the politicians this is politically-motivated and they know very well who doesn't have the kind of identification that they're trying to require in order to vote, and that those are groups like African-Americans, Latinos and young people who tend to vote for Democrats."
- Tova Wang, election reform expert
Yet states across the US have been considering fast-tracking laws ahead of this year's election to require voters to produce an identification card before they vote.
On the face of it this seems like a perfectly reasonable requirement.But studies have repeatedly shown that as many as 22 million registered voters might not be able to cast their ballot as a result. Most of those affected are African-American, Latino and poorer voters.The most fervent proponents of these laws are usually Republican politicians and groups. They insist they are simply ensuring that elections will be run "fairly and efficiently". They are also pushing for laws that restrict early voting and voter registration campaigns.However, those who argue that states simply do not have the infrastructure to ensure every valid voter will have an ID in time are having some success.
"[The new voting requirement] actually adds to the confusion. I don't want voters to assume they need this [voter ID]. I hope voters will find out what the laws are in [their] particular state and ensure that [they are] in a position to adhere to them."
- Nicole Austin-Hillery, Brennan Center for Justice
On Wednesday a federal judge ruled that South Carolina's voter ID law cannot be implemented until after the 2012 election.But concerns remain that many voters without photo ID will still be hesitant to show up at the polls.So with less than one month to the election, will the new voting laws impact the results?Joining the discussion with presenter Shihab Rattansi on Inside Story: US 2012 are guests: Tova Wang, the author of The Politics of Voter Suppression: Defending and Expanding Americans' Right to Vote; Nicole Austin-Hillary, the director and counsel of the Brennan Centre for Justice, a public policy institute at New York University law school that focuses on issues involving democracy; and John Fortier, the director of the Democracy Project at the Bipartisan Policy Center.
"We should be able to say let's make voting more broadly available to people but let's make sure the right people who are eligible to vote can vote … [but] there are [also] a number of problems in the [voting] system which I think are legitimate."
John Fortier, Bipartisan Policy Center

As more states require voters to produce photo ID we ask if this is a deliberate attempt to disenfranchise minorities.

Happy {Post} Christmas!
I am much more stress free today and in a GREAT mood. We had a great Christmas and I was able to clean, organize, and sort ALL day today. My house is officially "Christmas Free" as all the decorations on the inside are put away. {Hubs still has to lug them into the attic but they are all ready for him to do so!}
I love doing this while my daughter is in full "Play" mode. As long as she is obsessed with her new toys, I can work away! I still have to work on the upstairs tomorrow... but I see the light... I see the light!
I was also happy to get Christmas packed away in my classroom before I left for the break.
So... when I return to work on January 2nd... I can go full force towards the new year.
I was also able to get a new product posted right before Christmas. It is for Valentine's Day... but it is NEVER to early to plan ahead right?
I got these books and CD from my scholastic book clubs for super cheap so be on the lookout for your listening stations.
