The economy: programming is the problem, and the solution
I have lots of thoughts and I am not sure with such a large and distinguished panel that I will have an opportunity to say everything I think, so I figured, both to prepare for the panel and to air my ideas out more fully I'd blog them here.
The situation in inner cities is a complex one and there are a variety of factors that drive the current context. But the truth is I don't think any of the issues that are driving the inhospitable economic environment are local. Inner cities in general, and Newark in particular may have specific local problems but the primary issues are national if not global.
Broadly speaking, the problem, and the solution to the problem is technology. Back in 2009 I wrote a piece called "The problem with the economy: you aren't needed anymore". The basic thesis of that piece was that technology is reducing the number of people required to provide our planets most basic of needs. Be it energy production, food, transportation, retailing, communications, or a myriad of other industries, software is, at an astonishing pace, allowing us to operate at greater and greater levels of efficiency. In this context greater efficiency means employing fewer people.
This means that fewer and fewer people can control larger and larger chunks of the economy. This is driving a massive consolidation of economic power and wealth.
My piece ran in Business Insider where it was roundly criticized the editor-in-chief Henry Blodget, and many other commenters. But since that time others have written similar pieces. For example Douglass Rushkoff wrote a piece in cnn.com called "Are Jobs Obsolete". And Mark Andreessen, famed investor, and one of the creators of the first commercial web browser, recently wrote an article that appeared in the Wall Street Journal called "Why Software is Eating The World", where he explains that essentially every business category is being transformed into a software company.
The implications of this are profound because when software does things, then people are not doing those things. As we become a planet where all of us are not needed to feed and clothe and shelter each other, we become a planet where wealth is much less evenly distributed. We become a planet where certain people have critical contributions to make and some just don't. And so the question becomes how do we create a politically palatable framework for caring for those people who are just not needed.
This is an important question because it is essentially where we are now. There is massive unemployment in america, well north of 20%, and much higher in minority communities. The unemployed are not, for the most part, dying of starvation. They are just living very poor unhealthy unhappy lives. The employed majority's survival is not dependent on the unemployed minority. Many employed folk consider the unemployed lazy and in circumstances of their own making.
The policical right considers this economic underclass useless and politically expendable. And that may be good cynical 2012 politics. But it will not be good politics as the number of unemployed grows and wealth continues to consolidate. Technology guarantees that the trend will continue. In fact technology *demands* that the trend continues. It will likely not be a straight line curve, we will have ups and downs in employment and GDP. But the bottom line is existing economic theory does not apply to a world that has infinite efficiency, and that is where we are headed.
So this is the big picture problem. It is not a local problem. It is not a problem for Newark, or Paterson, or Bedford Stuyvesant, or Harlem. It is a problem for the planet. We can't do much to change the trajectory of the planet, but we must understand the trends if we are going to survive them.
The first thing to understand is that it is critical that a broader spectrum of society become creators of technology instead of consumers of it. My wife is a professor at Montclair State University where she teaches teachers in the school of Education, and researches educational strategies and social justice issues. And she tells me that elementary school curriculums, to the extent that they include technology, are focused on how to integrate it into the learning experience. For example, a big part of the discussion is about how we use facebook, or blogs, or twitter in the classroom. This is all good, but its like teaching kids to be patients rather than doctors. We are teaching consumption rather than production.
The point is that in order to have any economic self sufficiency, poor disenfranchised communities, must create their own opportunities, their own businesses, their own centers of power. And a big part of this must come from learning how to create software because software already drives most economic activity and it will ultimately drive almost all of it.
And so my fundamental point is that all kids, but particularly inner city minority kids that may not have significant opportunities, can learn to create those opportunities by learning to program. Creating software in twenty years will be like reading is today. We must engage. There is no reason that third grade kids are not learning the basics of programming. More importantly, learning how to program effects learning and reasoning in every other academic pursuit. Our educational system today is primarily focused on how much knowledge we can stuff in a kid's head when what kids really need is to learn how to think, how to reason, how to gather information and how to develop answers, arguments, and strategy.
I believe every single school day, starting in third grade and going through at least tenth grade, that every student should have a period dedicated to programming. It is critical that we start this young before the educational system succeeds in teaching our kids that they are dumb and can't learn which is what it does today. And I am confident that programming is as learnable at an early age as is basic math or reading.
I realize that given that there are so few teachers that know how to program that there would be insecurity in schools giving students skills that most of their teachers don't have. I also realize there are no curriculums focused on this. But this is why we must start now. There is nothing more important. Because as economic power is consolidated amongst those that control the software, not following this course will cement the groups that are currently at the bottom of the socio-economic structure into that position permanently.
To be clear, teaching poor kids in inner cities to program will not fix the bigger picture problem, but it can at least more fairly and more broadly distributed the world's wealth.

I'm skeptical that the consolidation of money and power is really due to technology and not simply government policies encouraging wealth transfer from the poor to the wealthy. Nor is the replacement of workers by technology anything new, it's been a common theme of our economies since the 19th century and we've always somehow managed to put people to work (the logical explanation for this is that new technology is eventually wealth creating, not wealth destroying).ReplyDelete
Simply put: it's a great idea to educate the poor (and it will certainly help) but to fundamentally change this situation you need more than just programmers, you need politicians, ones who will speak for the poor when current politicians won't.
It's a tired old trope, but your technical solution will not fix this social problem. Inequality has not gotten out of control because of technology, it's gotten out of control because we let it.
" it's been a common theme of our economies since the 19th century and we've always somehow managed to put people to work (the logical explanation for this is that new technology is eventually wealth creating, not wealth destroying). "
Funny thing about exponential growth is that at some point what worked before no longer works. Moores law (the idea that computers got faster by a factor of 2 every 18 months or so) obviously couldnt continue forever and (surprise!!) we have hit the wall!
And so the idea that increased efficiency will always create more jobs is obviously mathematically ridiculous. There *is* an end point. When we can all sit in our rooms and press a button and create all of the food and energy we need without any other workers (the end point of infinite efficiency) obviously there will be no more jobs. In short the fact that something "was" has no bearing on what "will". History is a great predictor of the future... until it isnt.
"but your technical solution will not fix this social problem"
There is nothing more annoying that puts up some ridiculous straw man version of your argument so that you can disagree with it: "To be clear, teaching poor kids in inner cities to program will not fix the bigger picture problem, but it can at least more fairly and more broadly distributed the world's wealth."
Hank, I recommend you read some von Mises... as well as _The_State_Against_Blacks_ by Walter E. Williams. If you do, you'll come back to this post and laugh at the silliness of your former self. Just sayin'ReplyDelete
I have difficulty accepting the premise that software/efficiency is the cause of unemployment. I agree that the wealth and control has become concentrated, but if you look at the historical trends of unemployment (http://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat1.pdf, in graphical form http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/unemployment-rate), it's clearly not following the same trend of concentration of wealth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealth_in_the_United_States). Translation: there's not even correlation in the relationship (let alone causation).ReplyDelete
I'm all for teaching more stuff to the inner city. Heck, my high school (inner city, poor, now mostly black, it was 45/45/10 white/black/other in my day) had the best CS program in the state in the late 80's, and I'd argue top 20 in the country, and politics took that away (among many other things).
But, the simple fact that we (as a country/state/city) can't get the basics (math/reading) up to snuff makes me seriously doubt that we can get programming taught.
Nor do I think that programming lies at the heart of even 25% of new businesses - but I've no data to back that up, so take it for a wild-@ss guess.
I rescind my doubt regarding software vs human labor...ReplyDelete
Wow, man versus machine is backed up by a graph covering 2 whole years. And those two years were the two immediately following a year long recession.ReplyDelete
Perhaps it's worthwhile looking at a longer time frame, maybe since 2000? http://www.census.gov/econ/aces/report/2011/capitalspendingreport2011.pdf
Given that the year leading UP TO the time period in the graph you linked to was the recession, it's really no surprise that all of CAPEX was down DRAMATICALLY in 2009 from 2008 (just before where your graph picks up). The information sector itself (software/computers) has been in decline between 2000-2009. At some point businesses have to replace their software and hardware, and it doesn't look like they did it before the end of 2009, so a small uptick in spending isn't terribly surprising.
I agree we're in a jobless "recovery" but the data hardly supports a slam-dunk for software being the primary driver.
In other words, the act of programming software is quickly making human work obsolete. Employers are right to ask themselves: "what need have we for the working class?"ReplyDelete
But to me, the real question is this:
If programing is something that's easy to learn as long as you put your mind to it, thus putting mastery of it within reach of most people;
and since software delivers more returns per unit effort than any other mode of production on the planet, making each programmer more productive than any type of worker in history;
and furthermore, since technology like software is quickly obviating the need for human drudgery, and by extension the classic wage system;
Then working people people would do well to ask themselves: "what need have we for our bosses?"
If ever we were to reach a point where software constitutes the bulk of production methods, won't our bosses have to literally prevent us from learning computer science in order to maintain their control over the means of production? I believe that the trend you have identified could make class distinctions even more artificial and unnecessary.
We are the 99%!
I won't disagree with anything you've said.

Lisa Anderson of Flint, Michigan is today's "Christmas Wish" winner.
Dear Tom:
My name is Lisa Anderson and I am coordinating our Zeta Phi Beta Zeta Chapter of Flint, Michigan's annual "Pamper Me Day" for the women and children in a local Domestic Abuse Shelter. Last year we sponsored a "Shop Til' You Drop" affair whereby we solicited slightly used clothing, coats, shoes, jewelry, belts and more. Tom – we set up a huge room to look like a department store and created Zeta money. This allowed each woman to buy as much as their hearts desired! It was an awesome day.
This year our "Pamper Me Day" will be a Zeta Blue Christmas! We have a Christmas Tree with all the decorations that will be donated for the women and children to decorate. The Chapter will purchase wreathes and supplies for centerpieces, so that each woman can create their own Christmas wreath to hang on their door or make a centerpiece, whichever they prefer. We also will donate supplies so that the children can make a special gift for their mothers and then wrap up with lunch!

In Season 2 Brandon Stark remains a major character. Bran continues to experience strange dreams as he is tutored in ruling Winterfell by Maester Luwin.
The North Remembers
At Winterfell, Bran holds court with his vassals. A lord begs for assistance preparing his holdfast for the coming winter. The lord recalls the skill of the builders who worked on Torrhen's Square and complains at length about the poor condition of his own home. Maester Luwin reminds the man that the maintenance of his home is his own responsibility. The lord complains that his young men are fighting Robb Stark's war. Bran is offended by the man's failure to refer to Robb as his King and his inference that Robb wanted the war. Bran questions the Lord's fealty. Luwin interjects that they will lend the man four masons for a week, concluding the discourse. Bran stares at his counsellor and Luwin jokes that they didn't want the Lord there all day. Bran says that he did not like the way he spoke about Robb and Luwin sympathises before reminding Bran of his responsibilities as Lord of Winterfell. He then greets the next in a long line of minor lords, Lord Portan.[1]
Bran dreams that he is Summer, seeing the world through the direwolf's eyes as he stalks through the Godswood and looks up at the Red Comet. He goes to the pool next to the Heart Tree and looks down at his reflection. The next day Bran has Hodor carry him out to the Godswood; Osha accompanies them and finds a plant that can be used to make a pain relieving tea. She asks Bran if he has had more strange dreams and he claims that he does not dream at all. He changes the subject to the comet, saying that he has heard men say it is an omen favouring Robb in the War. Osha says that she has heard people say the comet is Lannister red and favours their enemies and that she heard a stable boy say the comet was blood red and marked the death of Eddard. Hodor kneels by the pool and Osha helps Bran to the ground by its edge, affectionately stroking his hair. She tells him that stars do not fall for men and that a red comet signifies dragons. Bran stares at his reflection in the water and asserts that dragons are extinct.[1]
What is Dead May Never Die
Bran experiences another strange dream. He sees the castle through Summer's eyes. Maester Luwin sends Hodor to rouse Bran. Summer follows Hodor to Bran's chamber and sits on his bed. Bran sees himself through the wolf's eyes as he awakens.[2]
During his lessons Bran tells Luwin about his wolf dreams. He relates them to stories of people that can live inside animals that he once heard from Old Nan. Luwin tries to reassure Bran that they are only dreams. Bran insists that his dreams are different, reminding Luwin that he and Rickon shared the same dream of their father's death. Luwin shows Bran the Valyrian steel link on his master's chain. He explains that it represents the study of the higher mysteries. Luwin says that despite his studies he never found true magic. He helps Bran to bed and tells him that "the dragons are gone, the Giants are dead, and the Children of the Forest forgotten."[2]
The Ghost of Harrenhal
In the great hall of Winterfell Prince Bran Stark holds court for his people. He remains the acting Lord of Winterfell and wears a gorget embossed with the direwolf of House Stark about his neck while the House Tully pin fastens his doublet. His brother Rickon Stark sits beside him, shelling nuts loudly with a rock. A shepherd reports being unable to tend to his flock with his three sons fighting in the south. He reassures Bran of the loyalty of his sons but says that there are growing numbers of wolves in the north and that he cannot protect his sheep from them alone. Bran offers to assign two orphans from Winterfell's outlying Winterstown to aid him if he will give them room and board. The shepherd gratefully accepts, saying that his wife always wanted more children. When the shepherd leaves Bran tells Rickon to stop. Having seen everyone Bran tells Maester Luwin that he is going to go for a ride before dark and calls for Hodor.[3]
Ser Rodrik Cassel enters the Great Hall calling for Bran. He reports that Torrhen's Square is under siege. Luwin is shocked, remarking that Torrhen's Square is just 14 leagues away and wonders how the Lannisters have reached so far north. Osha listens intently as she lights candles at the back of the room. Ser Rodrik speculates that it could be a raiding party led by the Mountain or a group of sellswords. Bran says that they must help their bannermen. Rodrik nods agreement and says that even with most of their forces fighting for Robb he can gather 200 decent men. Luwin wonders if Rodrik needs to take so many and Bran cautions that they must protect their bannermen if they expect their bannermen to protect them. Rodrik smiles at the boy's wisdom and Bran orders him to leave as soon as he has his men. Rodrik confidently says that it will not take long because southerners do not do well in their territory.[3]
Hodor carries Bran across to the stables. Osha walks with them and Bran questions her about the significance of his dreams. She tells him to ask Luwin and he says that he already has to no avail. Luwin has never heard of a three-eyed raven. Osha says that must make the dream meaningless and Bran accuses her of lying. She warns him not to call her a liar despite his status. Bran asserts that she knows the meaning and she says that she did not say otherwise. Hodor and Osha help Bran into the saddle. Bran says that she did not give him an honest answer and she quibbles that it is not the same as being a liar. Bran says that it is not far off. Osha establishes that his dreams have featured the three eyed raven. She reminds Bran that he told her that he had no dreams when they visited the Godswood and says that he is the liar. He can only smile. She presses him about his recent dreams. He reports dreaming that the sea flooded Winterfell and drowned his people including Ser Rodrik. Osha reassures him that the sea is hundreds of miles away and hurries to take her basket of potatoes to the kitchens. Bran asks her what they say about the three eyed raven north of the Wall. She refuses to answer, saying only that they say all kinds of crazy things beyond the Wall.[3]
The Old Gods and the New
Bran is awakened by Theon Greyjoy bursting into his room. Dagmer Cleftjaw follows Theon into the room. Theon tells him that he has taken Winterfell. Bran is confused and groggy from sleep. Theon explains that he infiltrated the castle using grappling claws to scale the walls. Bran wonders why Theon has attacked them and Theon asserts his intention to seize the castle. Bran reminds Theon that he left to fight for Robb. Theon tells Bran that Robb sent him back to Pyke and that he is now fighting for his father Balon Greyjoy instead of Robb. Theon asks where Hodor is, Bran says that he does not know and Theon sends Dagmer to find him, calling Hodor a halfwit.[4]
Theon tells Bran that his people are being assembled in the courtyard. Bran asks why and Theon says that they will go down and tell them that Bran has yielded Winterfell. Bran says that he will never yield. Theon argues with him and then sits on the edge of his bed to explain that Bran must yield to protect his people. He says that a good lord would yield to save lives and Bran hesitates. Theon tells Bran to think carefully about his choice of words and gets up to leave. Bran stops him by asking if he hated the Starks the whole time that he lived with them. Theon has no answer and walks out.[4]
Theon orchestrates Bran's public surrender of the castle in front of the people of Winterfell. Among the crowd in the courtyard are Luwin, Hodor, Osha, Rickon, Farlen the kennel master and his daughter Palla. Dagmer and Theon's men maintain order among their prisoners. Bran says that he has yielded Winterfell and Theon instructs him to speak louder and refer to him as a prince. Bran repeats it as instructed and Theon takes over. He says that the people all know him and Farlen interrupts to insult Theon. Bran warns Farlen to keep silent. Theon tells Farlen to listen to Bran because the young lord has more sense than the kennel master. Bran tells his people to do as Theon commands. Theon tells the assembly that his father has declared himself King of the Iron Islands by donning the ancient crown of salt and rock. He says that Balon also claims the North by right of conquest and that they are now King Balon's subjects. Farlen objects, asserting his loyalty to House Stark and begins to criticize Theon's strategy. He is clubbed on the back of the head by one of Theon's men and falls to the ground. Palla helps Farlen up as Theon tells the smallfolk that he will treat them well if they serve him as loyally as they did Eddard Stark. He warns that he will make any traitors regret betraying him.[4]
Theon instructs Luwin to send ravens to Balon at Pyke and to his sister Yara at Deepwood Motte to inform them of his victory. He tells Luwin to order an additional 500 men from Yara. Luwin hesitates and Theon reminds him of his vows as a Maester of the Citadel to serve the Lord of Winterfell. Theon claims the title for himself and repeats his orders. Luwin accepts his orders and goes to send the messages.[4]
Osha steps forward and calls Theon my lord. He arrogantly notes that she has learned how to address her betters and asks what she wants. bends the knee to Theon. She says that she was brought to Winterfell as a captive and reminds Theon that he was present the day she was taken. He claims to be the one who captured her. She bends the knee and offers to serve Theon. Theon asks how she will serve him and insults her by saying that he needs fighters not kitchen sluts. She says that Robb put her in the kitchens and that she will fight for Theon if he puts a spear in her hands. Theon suspects her of treachery and refuses. He orders her to get up and pushes her aside. She stands by Bran and he asks her why she is betraying them. She says that his dream has come true; the ocean has reached Winterfell and she does not intend to drown.[4]
Theon continues to address the people but is interrupted by the arrival of Lorren and three men with a captive, Ser Rodrik Cassel. Lorren says that they took him on his return from Torrhen's Square and that he killed two of their men before he was subdued. Luwin returns to the courtyard as Lorren gives his explanation. Theon tells Ser Rodrik that it grieves him that they meet as foes. Rodrik counters by saying that it grieves him that Theon has less honor than a whore. Rodrik reminds Theon that he was raised at Winterfell and says that the people are his people. Theon denies the claim and Rodrik tells him that Robb considered him a brother. Theon says that his brothers are dead and died fighting the Starks. Rodrik retorts that they died in a war that Balon started. Rodrik says that Lord Stark raised Theon among his own sons and Theon angrily asserts that he was never treated as one of them and was a hostage. Theon tells Rodrik that Eddard is dead and that the Seven Kingdoms are at war. Theon again asserts that Winterfell is his. Rodrik says that he should have put a sword in Theon's belly instead of his hand. Theon says that Rodrik has served faithfully and then begins a threat. Rodrik spits in his face. Theon orders Rodrik imprisoned but Dagmer counsels that he must die for his actions. Dagmer says that the men will not respect Theon while Rodrik lives. Theon hesitates and then announces the death sentence.[4]
Bran reminds Theon that he said that no harm would come to the people if he yielded. Theon counters that Rodrik could not keep his mouth shut. Luwin approaches Theon and advises him not to make a hasty decision. Theon says that Rodrik chose to disrespect him in front of his men. Luwin counsels that Rodrik is worth more alive than dead and says that the Starks will ransom him. Luwin urges Theon to consider his actions. Theon hesitates and then looks at Dagmer who shakes his head. Theon warns the master to address him as Prince Theon or be next. Dagmer motions to Lorren, who drags Rodrik to the executioners block as Dagmer draws his sword. Bran, Rickon and the people cry out to Theon to have mercy. Rodrik stares defiantly at Theon and says that the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword before calling him a coward. Theon pushes Dagmer aside and draws his own weapon. Bran calls out for Theon to stop and Theon retorts that Bran no longer gives commands. Bran begs Theon to stop and Rodrik tells Bran to hush, saying that he is going to see Bran's father. Theon asks Rodrik if he has any last words and Rodrik says "Gods help you Theon Greyjoy, now you are truly lost." Theon swings the sword down on Rodrik's neck but his first blow does not kill him. Theon swings a further three times to the horror of the onlookers. He has to kick Rodrik's head to finally sever it from his body. Theon looks around at his captives, realizing what he has done.[4]
Osha seduces Theon to gain freedom of the castle. She then frees Bran, Rickon, Hodor and their direwolves Summer and Shaggydog. Osha is halted by Drennan in the Godswood. He asks where she is going and she claims that Theon has sent her to make the rounds of his men. She kisses him passionately and then slits his throat. She whistles twice and her charges emerge from the darkness.[4]
A Man Without Honor
Summer and Shaggydog roam ahead of the escapees along the banks of a stream. Osha regrets not bringing more food with them and Bran asserts that it was too risky to approach the kitchens. Osha argues that the people of Winterfell love the Starks and would have done anything for them. Bran responds that he was not willing to endanger the lives of his people by exposing them to Theon's wrath. Osha says that Rickon cannot survive on walnuts alone and Rickon says that he is fine. Hodor cracks a walnut for him in the palms of his hands. Osha frets that they have been walking for hours and says that even Hodor will tire. Hodor responds by repeating his name and Osha affectionately calls him a sweet giant.[5]
They crest a hill and Bran asks them to wait, recognizing a distant farm. He says that it belongs to the shepherd who he recently assigned two orphan boys to. Rickon remembers the boys as Jack and Billy and adds that they will help them. Bran is again dubious about risking the safety of those that would help them. Rickon tells Osha that Billy is an excellent tree climber and she says that Rickon has not seen her climbing. Osha warns that Theon will be tracking them with hounds and that they cannot outrun them forever. Theon tracks them to the farm but then loses their scent. He returns to Winterfell with two charred bodies, claiming they are Bran and Rickon.[5]
The Prince of Winterfell
Maester Luwin follows Osha into the crypts below Winterfell. She lights a candle while explaining that they evaded capture by doubling back from the farm. Bran sits round the corner from them, awake and listening to everything. She says that they used a stream to mask their scent from Theon's hounds. She tells Luwin that she is hoping that the catacombs will be the last place that Theon thinks to search for them. Luwin says that she has been right so far. Osha asks about the charred bodies hanging at the gates. Luwin relates his suspicion that they were the farmers boys. Osha is horrified that Theon killed and burned innocent children for his ruse. Luwin warns her not to say anything to the Stark boys because Bran would blame himself. She promises to say nothing, agreeing that the Starks have suffered enough.[6]

laptop Battery Care Instructions
1. A new battery comes in a discharged condition and must be charged before use (refer to the devices manual for charging instructions). Upon initial use (or after a prolonged storage period) the battery may require three to four charge/discharge cycles before achieving maximum capacity.
2. When charging the laptop battery for the first time the device may indicate that charging is complete after just 10 or 15 minutes. This is a normal phenomenon with rechargeable batteries. Remove the battery from the device, reinsert it and repeat the charging procedure.
3. It is important to condition (fully discharge and then fully charge) the battery every two to three weeks. Failure to do so may significantly shorten the battery's life (this does not apply to Li-Ion batteries, which do not require conditioning). To discharge, simply run the device under the battery's power until it shuts down or until you get a low battery warning. Then recharge the battery as instructed in the user's manual.
4. If the laptop battery will not be in use for a month or longer, it is recommended that it be removed from the device and stored in a cool, dry, clean place.
5. It is normal for a battery to become warm to the touch during charging and discharging.
6. A charged battery will eventually lose its charge if unused. It may therefore be necessary to recharge the battery after a storage period.
7. The milliamp-hour (mAH) rating of the Hi-Capacity battery will often be higher than the one on the original battery. A higher mAH rating is indicative of a longer lasting (higher capacity) battery and will not cause any incompatibilities. A Hi-Capacity battery will, in most cases, outperform the original by 30% to 50%.
8. Actual battery run-time depends upon the power demands made by the equipment. In the case of notebook computers, screen brightness, the use of the CPU, the hard drive, and other peripherals results in an additional drain upon the battery, effectively reducing the battery's run-time. The total run-time of the battery is also heavily dependent upon the design of the equipment. To ensure maximum performance of the battery, optimize the computer's power management features. Refer to the computer manual for further instructions.

text: By offering matching funds, challenge grants help local, state, and national institutions secure their humanities resources and activities for the long term. The "multiplier effect" is crucial to achieving this goal: recipients of a challenge grant must match every federal dollar with three (in some cases, two) nonfederal dollars. The NEH challenge funds and the matched nonfederal funds can be used for many long-term institutional purposes. For example, the money may be used to purchase capital equipment and upgrade technology, renovate or construct facilities, and increase library holdings or museum collections. Challenge grants can also be invested to build endowments supporting an institution's staff or programming well into the future. Many different sorts of nonprofit organizations have made use of challenge grants—museums, tribal centers, libraries, colleges and universities, scholarly research organizations, state humanities councils, public radio and television stations, and historical societies and historic sites.

Some say now is the time for new leadership, and Scott Christiansen says he's the one. He announced his candidacy Wednesday for county board chairman, the position currently held by republican Kris Cohn.
Christiansen says he would take a different approach to dealing with the issues facing the county, like the possible strike. He says keeping conversation open is key.
Coming up at six, we'll hear what other county leaders have to say about Christiansen's campaign. We'll also hear from current chairman Kris Cohn.

MCSO: Summerfield couple commit suicide together
Published: Tuesday, May 13, 2014 at 6:11 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 13, 2014 at 6:11 p.m.
Marion County sheriff's deputies say a Summerfield couple committed suicide together Monday when they shot themselves in the head.
They were found lying next to each other in bed in their home at 3781 SE 141st Lane.
When, in response to a call, Deputy Mitchell Tucker arrived at the home, the dead woman's sister told him, "They are dead, they are all dead," according to a Sheriff's Office report. The distraught woman motioned the deputy to the back door of the residence.
The deputy found Timothy K. Thomasson, 53, and his wife, Michele L. Thomasson, 50, on their bed with gunshot wounds to their heads. Each had a black semi-automatic handgun.
Investigators found a five-page suicide note addressed to family members containing apologies and instructions on care for their two Newfoundland dogs, financial matters and the division their property.
Officials said the dogs were given to a friend for safe keeping.
Sheriff's officials said they were told that Michele Thomasson had recently lost her job and that her husband, who had several back surgeries, was on disability for back problems.
The investigation into the suicides is on-going.
Daniel Kelsey, their friend for 25 years, said the Thomassons had been married for 24 and lived in Marion County for eight. He said they were "two people who loved each other, who fell on hard times and did each other in." Sheriff's officials, however, say each committed suicide.
Kelsey said the couple purchased their home from him and that he was business partners with them.
Their suicides, he said, were unexpected.
"He talked about it, but not her," Kelsey said. "It took me by surprise."

Not to be confused with Thermal Vision.
Night-vision goggles are a tool available in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Equipping them modifies the player's world view to a greenish appearance, allowing them to see more clearly in dark environments. The night-vision goggles share the exact model and HUD icon as the thermal vision goggles. After equipping the goggles, it is possible switch to another weapon and even drive vehicles while retaining the effects. As observed in the mission End of The Line, sources of bright light such as fire can obscure the player's vision while under the goggles' effects.
- If you have the goggles on and play an arcade game, when you exit the arcade game you will still have the goggles on, but the effects will not be on.
The goggles only spawn after completing the mission Breaking the Bank at Caligula's.

Local students enjoy and relax at the YMCA during their last weeks of summer vacation. (WRDW-TV / July 29, 2011)
News 12 This Morning / Friday, July 29, 2011
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- It's the last full weekend students in six local districts get to enjoy before heading back to school.
As summer slips away and school kicks off next week in many counties, students like Kyrie Williams are trying soak in every last minute of freedom.
"It's too fun for me to leave. I'm like attached to it," said Williams, who is entering the third grade this August.
Campers at the Family Y, like Eric Hu, can't believe it's already time to go back.
"The first day of summer I thought would never end and it ended few days after this," said Hu, who is starting fifth grade.
This weekend, community pools and parks are expected to be packed with kids running, jumping and taking one last dip.
"I'm sad to see summer go because we like to do a lot of things," said Dianna Prickett, the mother of a fifth grader. "Spend time with family that you really can't do all year long."
Even moms are planning special ways to cap off the season.
"I'm gonna do as much as I can," Prickett said. "We have plans to go to the movies, plans for a sleepover."
Every parent knows, however, the fun and games have to end and some of them, such as Shaylnn Pruitt, can't wait.
"I'm excited for him to go back because I am a stay-at-home mom," Pruitt said. "I'm ready, he's bored during the summer."
For Kyrie, after she gets through the line at the slide and causes a few more splashes, it's down to business.
"Next week we still have camp, but I'm not gonna be here because I have to practice multiplication and division," she said. "Third grade is one of the hard grades."
While she gets her head start some students are thinking about next summer.
"I wanna come back here," Faith Prickett said.
The first schools to open up are in Burke, Jefferson and McCormick county on Aug. 3, which is only five days away.

Lunch…coffee…a meeting…a walk. When we get together we have a reason. The activity creates a context and sets a tone for the interaction.
On August 14, ONEplace holds its second Kalamazoo Nonprofit Connection – LIVE gathering. The context is nonprofit and the tone is mutual support.
Sure, there will be snacks, but best of all, your nonprofit colleagues will be there – those who value referral networks, desire a deeper community connection, and want to accelerate their organization's impact.
We all seek stronger ties to our colleagues and community. But one evening alone won't do it. According to "The Real Purpose of Networking," the most common mistake that individuals make after attending a networking event is not following up. So, put some time on your Aug 15 calendar for follow up.
Stronger collaborative networks open communications, save time, and make us all more effective. But, like most things of value, they require little bits of attention over a long period of time. So, take an hour or so on August 14 to invest in your future…and have a good time doing it.

A crash at I-25 and Fillmore left one woman trapped early Saturday morning.
According to Springs police, the woman rolled her vehicle just before the Fillmore exit on southbound I-25 at 4:11 a.m. Officers have not provided details at this time as to what factors may have led to the crash.
The Colorado Springs Fire Department also responded to the scene to help extricate the driver, who was the only person in the vehicle. She was then taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The crash remains under investigation.

Log in
These Birds Walk is an unsanitized, visceral portrait of poverty, despair and the day-to-day struggles of an ambulance driver who ferries both dead bodies to and fro as well as transporting young runaways back to their families. Set in a Karachi (Pakistan) orphanage for unwanted and runaway children, the filmmakers have chosen to chronicle their subjects (Omar being the focus) without contextualizing or providing any sort of exposition. Their approach to their subject forces the viewer to become a voyeuristic fly on the wall of the orphanage, observing the young boys as they play, fight, laugh and confess the hopelessness of their lives. Viewers are also taken on a bumpy, chaotic ride through the busy streets of Karachi with an ambulance driver who works for the orphanage and who compassionately talks with the young boys. He sympathizes with their struggles because he too was once in the same situation. It's easy to understand from simply reading the depth of despair on the faces of these children, how one living in these kinds of inhumane circumstances could be seduced by criminality or religious extremism. Their options are limited and they are under no illusions about their life's trajectory. As grim a depiction of contemporary poverty as the film is, there are moments, albeit brief, where we glimpse the kindness of a stranger and the power it can wield.

Wrightsville Beach is considering the first ban on smoking at the beach in North Carolina.
The StarNews of Wilmington reports that a resident-led petition to ban smoking at the beach was approved by the New Hanover County Board of Elections. That means Wrightsville Beach leaders can either approve the ban or put it up for a vote by the whole town.
The ordinance bans smoking in the sand, but not in the entire town.
Steve Mann was smoking a cigarette on Wrightsville Beach on Sunday and said he would consider going somewhere else. But others say the ban could help keep the beaches clean and safe.

The Mission of the Spokane County Veteran's Enhanced Treatment Court is to establish and maintain a coordinated Community Response through collaborations with the Veteran's Delivery System and the Criminal Justice system.
Provide a means to successfully rehabilitate veterans by diverting them from the conventional criminal justice system and providing them with the tools they need to successfully reintegrate back into the culture.
Veterans Treatment Courts are hybrid Drug and Mental Health Courts that use the Drug Court model to serve veterans struggling with addiction, serious mental illness and/or co-occurring disorders. They promote sobriety, recovery and stability through a coordinated response that involves cooperation and collaboration with the traditional partners found in Drug and Mental Health Courts, with the addition of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs health care networks, the Veterans' Benefits Administration, volunteer veteran mentors and veterans and veterans' family support organizations.
A former or current member of the United States Armed Forces, Guard or Reserves. As a former member, the Veteran must have been Honorably discharged or discharged "Generally" under honorable conditions.

May 6, 2016
PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) -- The Florida Panhandle is bracing for big waves generated by Tropical Storm Ernesto's crossing of the far southern Gulf of Mexico.
Authorities say the waves create strong rip currents when they hit shore.
Pensacola Beach senior lifeguard Andrew Edwards tells the Pensacola News Journal that swimmers should be cautious. Ten rescues were made Thursday on Pensacola Beach.
State meteorologist Amy Godsey says the ocean swells generated by Ernesto will affect the northern Gulf coast through the rest of the week.
Ernesto came ashore Thursday near Coatzacoalcos, a major oil port in Mexico's southern Gulf region. The storm weakened as it moved inland and was expected to dissipate Friday.
Ernesto made its first landfall as a Category 1 hurricane late Tuesday in the Yucatan Peninsula.
