This project is producing, piloting, and disseminating the Seeing the Connections curriculum modules. The curriculum helps preservice teachers develop important mathematical knowledge and skills required in their future careers—designing effective lessons, emphasizing certain ideas over others, connecting ideas across the grades, understanding germs of insight in students' questions, and placing topics in the precollege curriculum in the broader mathematical landscape.
[This project is inactive but is presented here for archival purposes.]

Aaaahhhhhh… Relaxing and breathing deeply. It may not come as a surprise to anyone that this would be our reaction this exquisitely refurbished residence, located in one of Rio de Janeiro's most exclusive neighborhoods.
It has so many of the features we love. The structure seems to belong to the site. The indoor spaces connect with the outdoors, and the subtle surface textures and materials showcase the art and the mid-century modernist vibe of the furnishings.
There is visual room to breathe, to see. There's space to enjoy the art, distance to appreciate the gardens.
It lacks all of the typical design-magazine photo-session set-ups; the painfully over-staged vignettes, the overly sterile designer look. There is no ego or bravado, just ease and style. This is cool without trying to be cool; dramatic without all the drama.
This is that confident, mature style that is so difficult to achieve and impossible to fake.
The white, colonial-style house has good bones to start with: unobtrusive scale and proportions, spectacular site with access to views, natural building materials.
It is also surrounded by sublime mature gardens originally designed by the late Roberto Burle Marx, the designer of the Copacabana Beach Promenade with its distinctive, black-and-white Portuguese geometric wave pattern.
But the already great structure of this house was improved by a recent, complete overhaul by Brazilian architect Gisele Taranto.
The 1,500 square-meter (about 16145 square feet) house consists of two blocks. The larger block is the main family residence, the smaller one accommodates staff rooms, laundry, garage, home theater and the spa that is directly connected with the outside pool and patio area.
Taranto retained this division of functions, but rearranged most of the rooms and built two additional spaces on top of the existing ones: a home office with a roof-top garden on top of the residence, and an additional two-bedroom apartment for staff on top of the other block.
To provide better access to the outside, new, much larger windows and sliding glass doors were created. Wooden exterior slat screens and a wide canopy all around the house were built to provide protection from the extreme sunlight and heavy rains of the area.
High-quality natural materials, such as corten steel, limestone, marble and peroba do campo wood are used throughout, but they remain as a subtle background for the art and furnishings.
In this project, Taranto collaborated once again with Brazilian lighting designer Maneco Quinderé and landscape designer Gilberto Elkins. Tuija Seipell
After several months of construction, Red Bull's Dutch subsidiary, Red Bull Netherlands, has settled into its new headquarters on the North side of Amsterdam's Port area. The almost 1000 square-meter (about 10,763 square feet) office is part of the 7800 square-meter (83,958 square feet) Media Wharf complex at the NDSM Wharf, on the shores of the river IJ.
The office was designed by Sid Lee Architecture of Montreal and Amsterdam. The theme of the space is duality and polarity -- reason and intuition, light and dark, art and business, public and private.
Much of the space is undefined, seemingly unfinished, with a feel of street culture and the rough edges of the shipyard's past echoed in the design.
Red Bull Netherlands's director Jan Smilde was quoted as saying that the company wanted a location with an entrepreneurial spirit where they would have the freedom to develop innovative ideas and events.
Established before WWII, NDSM (Nederlandsche Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij – Dutch Dock and Shipbuilding Company) was one of the world's largest shipbuilders. It continued to operate until the mid-1980s, after which the shipyards were deserted except for squatters and artists who established a "breeding ground" of emerging artist there.
This area, the size of 10 football fields, has now been developed into an artistic and media hub, with studios and workshops, offices, open spaces, student housing, festival venues and restaurants. More here in English.
Perhaps we are overly practical here at TCH, but we could not help but wonder what Red Bull's heating bill for this space is in the cold Dutch winter months. - Tuija Seipell
OUKAN 71 is an intriguing addition to the sophisticated shopping area around Friedrichstrasse in Berlin. OUKAN 71 combines a fashion and art showroom/shop with a tea room and restaurant. Located on Kronenstrasse 71 (Kronen Strasse means Crown Street in German, and Oukan is Japanese for crown), the boutique has a fascinating background.
When the earthquake and tsunami cancelled the Tokyo Fashion Week in March last year, a group of Japanese designers were looking for a place to showcase their work. Berlin answered, and a charity project, Tokyo Gakudan (Tokyo Orchestra), was presented at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin in July 2011, with 40 Japanese designers showing their collections.
Natalie Viaux and Huy Thong Tran Mai were responsible of the Tokyo Gakudan Runway Show at Mercedes-Benz Studio. They are also the masterminds behind OUKAN 71, inspired by the fashion show.
On two open-concept floors, OUKAN 71 offers a constantly changing selection of fashion, accessories and design, much of it currently Scandinavian, but all with a Japanese feel. The Tea Bar Restaurant serves raw, vegan, vegetarian and fish breakfast and lunch dishes by chef-patissier Eriko Ohsawa, formerly of Tim Raue's MA and UMA restaurants. - Tuija Seipell
FieldCandy tents do not give you camouflage protection in the natural setting, nor do they help you blend in with the rest of the crowd at the campsite. FieldCandy tents are designed to stand out.
When we saw the first images of these limited-edition designer tents with their cool flysheets, we had to really stop and think. Is it true that no-one else has manufactured these types of tents for sale before? We have seen individual pieces displayed as art, but we had not seen anything quite like this.
It was one of those moments when you think: Why have all tents always looked pretty much the same? We customise everything else, why not tents? And even more remarkably: Why have we been satisfied with those boring, standard tent colours for so long?
So, through a two-year development process, Jersey, UK-based FieldCandy has created what we did not know we needed. Until now. They selected a group of 20 or so artists and designers – photographers, graphic designers, illustrators, branding and advertising designers – to create designs that were then transferred to the ultra-light, waterproof flysheet that covers the two-person tent.
They now offer more than 40 different designs by 18 artists. The designs are grouped in several collections. In The Legend Collection, for example, includes Terry Pastor's black design with psychedelic guns and Philip Gatward's blue and yellow parrots on a grey hued background.
On the FieldCandy website, a counter next to each design indicates how many of that design are still left. Each tent comes with a label that shows the edition number and the design name. Prices range from $430 for the black FieldCandy signature tent to over $1,000. FieldCandy ships around the world The tents are available exclusively through the website. - Tuija Seipell
It would seem a shame to take one of these black retro beauties out into the unforgiving streets of a Detroit winter. It might be best to display the hand-crafted Madison Street bike indoors, perhaps in the living room, nicely leaning against the mantel. It certainly deserves a place next to other pieces of art.
Detroit Bicycle Company founder, Steven Bock, builds each bike to order from the finest parts. For those who appreciate high-quality bike parts, all frames are made with Columbus SL CRO-Mo tubing and Nova lugs. The Madison Street's main attractions are the beautiful copper-plating of the Campagnolo and Cinelli parts, track rims with Vittoria Zaffiro tires and the inimitable Books leather saddle.
Each bike is customised, so prices vary, but we've seen complete bikes priced at $3,200 and up. - Bill Tikos

Those in the market for a megayacht are already familiar with the 70-meter (229-foot) Numptia. There isn't a luxury yachting magazine on the planet that hasn't noticed it. Some at the upper end allocated as much as 25 pages of opulence-oozing imagery and painstaking scrutiny of every minute fact to this steel-hulled, aluminum-structured floating residence.
And those who didn't get enough of Numptia in the printed media, had an opportunity to view it at the 21st Monaco Yacht Show in September, where it was hailed as one of the highlights among the 100 top meagayachts from around the globe.
The vessel launched in April in Genoa, after a three-year building process. It was completely custom-built for an unnamed Italian-born American businessman who wanted it for his multi-generational family.
Two specific things about Numptia have attracted the interest of the yachting world. Every aspect of Numptia was custom-created with the highest, most exquisite quality of design, materials, craftsmanship and functional performance. Even in the megayacht circles, this kind of grandeur and obsessive attention to quality and detail are rare.
The other unusual aspect is the fact that the owner selected a relatively unknown shipyard, Rossinavi Yachts of Viareggio to build it, and a little-known designer Salvagni Architetti of Rome to design the interiors.
Working closely with the owner, Achille Salvagni combined modern sensibilities with touches of traditional luxury to achieve a timeless feel of well-being. Every piece of furniture, every surface treatment, every doorknob and hinge was custom-designed for Numptia. Silk carpets woven in Tibet, solid marble in the steam bath, quartz floors in the galley, and an oval dining table covered in riveted alpaca nickel silver are just a few examples.
Exterior design of the vessel was completed by Design Studio Spadolini of Florence.
Numptia features lavish rooms for up to 12 guests and includes an impressive master suite, a VIP suite, three queen-size double cabins and one twin stateroom. The owner's suite includes a bedroom, TV area, reading room, his and hers dressing rooms and a bathroom with the solid-marble bath. Numerous common areas, sundecks, a spa deck plus crew accommodations and all behind-the-scenes space complete the spacious picture.
Numptia is available for charter through Burgess for about $646,000 per week, and for sale for an undisclosed price, rumored to be around $85 million. - Tuija Seipell
Last year, we covered Macquarie Group's massive Sydney headquarters designed by West Hollywood-based Clive Wilkinson Architects. Earlier this year, the same two players completed another spectacular office project, this time in London.
Macquarie, a global provider of banking and investment services, gathered up its various divisions from several buildings under one roof in the brand-new Ropemaker Place. Macquarie occupies 217,500 square feet (20,207 square meters) on six floors in the 20-storey, LEED Platinum building designed by Arup Associates.
Wilkinson's team took its cues from the new trend of transparency in financial services and balanced that with the more traditional and practical needs of prestige and privacy.
The beautiful, open space is a triumph of simplicity. A skillful and meaningful use of bright colour, combined with the all-white inner structure gives the open plan a sense of delight and order.
The centerpiece is the open atrium where the bright red steel staircase and upper-level steel catwalks link the various floors in a visually stunning way. The sculpture-like staircase, with its underside also painted red, is the focal point of the entire space and symbolizes not just openness but connectedness as well.
Privacy and prestige are evident in the more secluded client areas, where the traditional pinstripe lines appear in several iterations in ceilings, partitions, environmental graphics and other visual cues.
Exquisite furnishings, such as the purple Tom Dixon seating in the upper-level guest relations and reception area, exude prestige with modern sensibilities.
The traditional boardroom is furnished by existing furniture from previous offices, including Eames chairs and walnut-veneer table.
Environmental graphics, by Los Angeles-based Egg Office, continue on the theme of transparency and privacy with vertical pinstripes the key visual element. - Tuija Seipell.

Clean-Energy Investment: 'The Worst is Past'
There may be some light at the end of the tunnel for the recession in alternative energy investment, but there's still plenty of darkness, a new study out today says.
After a nadir in the first quarter, solar and wind power companies and other alternative energy producers are starting to tap investors for new financing and capital markets are starting to show signs of life, says London-based New Energy Finance, a consultancy. Second-quarter clean-energy investment is already one-third higher than in a dismal first quarter, the group said.
For the year, NEF expects clean-energy investment to total between $95 billion and $115 billion. That would be well off last year's record total of $155 billion, but still better than pre-recession years, such as 2006.
"It does look as though the worst is past," said NEF chairman Michael Liebreich.
The problem for the future is two-fold. Stimulus money in the U.S. and elsewhere is lagging, meaning it won't arrive in time to help investments in the first half of the year. Only about $28 billion of the world total of $185 billion in "green" stimulus money will arrive this year. By the time stimulus programs kick into gear, NEF said, the clean-energy sector "may well be on the way to recovery under its own steam."
But even a return to record-setting 2008 levels won't be enough: The analysts estimate that annual investment in clean energy has to more than triple from $155 billion to $500 billion a year between 2008 and 2020 to stop the growth in carbon emissions worldwide by the end of next decade.
"The financial crisis and the recession have knocked these plans considerably off track," NEF said.

This part of the school website was created to provide a link between our many ex-pupils. We have included the names and comments from some who were able to attend the school's 75th Anniversary. We hope in the future to include photographs of our ex-pupils from their period in school and possibly how they look now, in order for those seeking lost friends to re-establish contact again.

He's the accused ringleader of an ID theft ring with victims all across southern Colorado.
Thursday, Scott Martin will face a judge.
According to court papers, Martin had 20 people working under him, stealing mail, breaking into cars, using victims' personal information to make counterfeit checks, which were then passed around business from Castle Rock to Pueblo.
Authorities say they recorded phone conversations between Martin and a girlfriend, in which he allegedly walked her through a plan to make a fake check in the amount of $236,000 to bond him out of jail, then leave the country for a place that doesn't extradite suspects to the U.S.
Martin has been at the center of 11 News Call for Action investigations since 2010 when Martin's company lost one family's dog and refused to give a refund. It was ultimately found that the dog had been given to another family--and then euthanized.
Martin is being held at the CJC on 12 charges. If convicted, he could spend decades behind bars.

Helen Zille's Blue Army gathered in Joburg on Saturday for one last hurrah before polls open on Wednesday. But for once, Zille was not the focus of proceedings.
That honour went to Mmusi Maimane, who believes he is in with a genuine shot at toppling the ANC's hegemony in Gauteng. The loyal crowd did not disagree.
On Saturday, the Blue People were out in force at the NorthGate Dome, Johannesburg. Admittedly, the choice of venue - nestled in the heart of white, middle-class suburbia - was unfortunate, given the DA's attempts to shed their reputation as a white, middle-class party, but this shouldn't detract from what was a very effective final stop on the campaign trail for Mmusi Maimane, Helen Zille, Lindiwe Mazibuko & Co.
"We stand today on the doorstep of a new tomorrow," screamed Maimane, who was clearly in his element in front the 20,000-strong crowd, all in their matching DA t-shirts and waving their little DA flags. The crowd screamed back.
Maimane is superb on the stump: his eloquence, passion and charisma are reminiscent of a young Barack Obama, and the audience hung onto his every word. "Our destiny is in our hands," he ...

Ehrlich aides indicted in Election Day robocalls case
By Annie Linskey and Julie Bykowicz
Two longtime political operatives who worked last year on Republican former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.'s gubernatorial return campaign were indicted today for ordering what the state prosecutor called deceptive robocalls intended to suppress votes on the night of the election.
Julius Henson and Paul Schurick each face three counts of conspiracy to violate Maryland election laws, one count of attempting to influence a voter's decision and one count of failing to provide an authority line (on campaign material). Schurick also is charged with one count of obstruction of justice.
Read the indictments here.
Edward Smith, Jr., Henson's attorney, said his client will plead not guilty. Peter Zeidman, an attorney for Schurick, said the charges are "based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the facts."
"When the truth comes out," Zeidman said, it will be clear that Schurick "did not violate any laws."
An arraignment in Baltimore Circuit Court is scheduled for July 18.
The former governor was not accused of wrongdoing. He released this statement: "I believe in the rule of law. I believe in my friend and colleague, Paul Schurick. I hope a fair resolution is reached as quickly as possible for both Paul and Mr. Henson."
The indictment, handed up by a Baltimore City grand jury, came after an eight-month investigation by State Prosecutor Emmet Davitt into tens of thousands of robocalls that went out late on Election Day. A caller instructed voters in Democratic areas to stay home and "relax" because Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley had already won. In fact, the polls were still open. (Full recording after the jump.)
Henson, who'd worked mostly with Baltimore and Prince George's County Democrats before joining Ehrlich's team, acknowledged orchestrating the calls. He was paid $111,000 by the Ehrlich campaign for "community outreach."
He told The Sun the calls were "counter-intuitive" and were intended to encourage supporters to vote. Schurick was Ehrlich's communications director when he was governor and was his top campaign aide last year.
The indictment describes a document titled "The Schurick Doctrine" and says that it was "designed to promote confusion, emotionalism, and frustration among African-American Democrats."
The indictment quotes from the document: "The first and foremost desired outcome [of the Schurick Doctrine strategy] is voter suppression."
Ehrlich testified before the grand jury earlier this month. Greg Massoni, another longtime Ehrlich aide, also appeared in before the grand jurors. Massoni and Ehrlich are working for the Washington office of law firm King & Spalding. It's unclear what Schurick is now doing. (Update: Schurick's attorney said his client is working as a consultant.)
Massoni is named in the indictment, along with Henry Fawell, Ehrlich's campaign communications director and Bernard Marczyk, the campaign's political director. Henson met with the men in summer 2010 and outlined a voter suppression strategy in 472 precincts -- but at that time the campaign decided it would be too expensive, according to the indictment.
Henson and Universal Elections associate, Rhonda Russell, also face a multimillion-dollar federal civil complaint filed in November by Maryland Attorney Douglas F. Gansler. An attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Division also is listed as a plaintiff in the case.
Gansler alleges that the robocalls were made with the intent to suppress and intimidate voters in predominately African-American Democratic neighborhoods. The attorney general says 112,000 such calls were made on election night, and if found to be violations, each carries a $500 fine.
On May 25, U.S. District Judge Catherine C. Blake denied Henson's motion to dismiss his civil case. The court is still entertaining a defense motion to stay the proceedings pending the outcome of any criminal cases. Defense attorney Edward Smith Jr. argued that the going to court in the civil case would violate the witnesses' right against self-incrimination.
Gansler's office, in a response to that motion filed June 2, argued that "defendants are asserting this privilege even though no criminal actions have commenced."
The recorded message, according to civil and criminal complaints: "Hello. I'm calling to let everyone know that Governor O'Malley and President Obama have been successful. Our goals have been met. The polls were correct, and we took it back. We're okay. Relax. Everything's fine. The only thing left is to watch it on TV tonight. Congratulations, and thank you."

Injured Airman credits training for saving her life

SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. (AFNS)
-- The training one Airman received during the Advanced Contingency Skills Training Course at the Air Force Expeditionary Center at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J., and the quick reaction of her teammates is what she attributed to saving her life.
While on a convoy in Iraq Aug. 21, Capt. Wendy Kosek's vehicle was struck by an explosively formed projectile, or EFP, an improvised explosive device that is formed to directly penetrate armor and release shrapnel in all directions.
In the seconds immediately following the explosion, smoke filled the vehicle Captain Kosek was a passenger in. She quickly assessed herself and the servicemembers around her. Her quick self-assessment proved that she had been injured on her hand, face and leg.
What she didn't know was that shrapnel had entered her calf, broke her tibia and lodged itself behind her knee, millimeters from striking a major artery in her thigh and nerves. The shrapnel had also peppered her body armor.
Across from her, a fellow servicemember had been severely injured. It was at that time, the shock set in.
"I was not screaming, I did not feel pain," said Captain Kosek, a legal officer from Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark. "The assessment I did on myself was not extensive, it was to determine what I could do from a military standpoint, I knew that we would need to exit the (vehicle), but the Army major and I were unlikely able to do this on our own."
Teammates lifted Captain Kosek from the downed vehicle and placed her on the road while two other teammates tended her wounds, kept her conscious and guarded her from secondary attacks. The injured were then loaded into a casualty evacuation vehicle and transported to Camp Victory for triage.
During the ride to Camp Victory, Captain Kosek's leg was stabilized and she was kept conscious by two teammates. Behind her, her injured teammate was in immediate need of medical care. Capt. Maureen Wood a fellow Air Force legal officer, from Andrews AFB, Md., attended to him, protected him and essentially saved his life.
There is no real backup for convoys when they are hit, Captain Kosek said.
"There are no (AH-64) Apaches circling overhead just waiting to provide air support. You have yourself, and you have your fellow Americans. The heroism and officership demonstrated on that day can barely be described in words," she said.
Prior to ACST training, Captain Kosek, and other Airmen in the legal career field attended the Judge Advocate Functional ACST Course taught by the center's judge advocate staff. The four-day course combines both classroom and field training exercises specific to the legal career field.
There are two distinctly different portions to the training, said Capt. Paolino Caliendo, the Expeditionary Center staff judge advocate and course director for the JAG course. The classroom portion provides students with a general and theater-specific operation law subject matter that prepares them for specific roles during their deployment.
The field training portion of the JAG course teaches supplementary contingency skills training, Captain Caliendo said. The rules of engagement and rules of use of force component combines a lecture on the law of self defense and its application, wound ballistics and body trauma, and the psychological and physiological reactions of people under high-stress tactical environments and combat situations.
The Expeditionary Center's JAG course leads into the main ACST course where the students receive advanced training in combatives, IED recognition, military operations in urban terrain and combat first aid.
"Our students get a well-rounded training regimen before they deploy," Captain Caliendo said. "The bottom line is we know our students, while deployed, can get into some dangerous situations and through training like this we hope it will help bring them home safely."
"The training we received saved my, and my teammates' lives," Captain Kosek said. "It is so real and very necessary."
Maj. Gen. Kip L. Self, the Expeditionary Center commander, said Captain Kosek's experience was harrowing, but her reaction is "inspiring."
"A common thread to these stories of survival is the advanced combat skills training received prior to deployment," General Self said. "Wendy's account validates the U.S. Air Force Expeditionary Center's efforts to deliver the most relevant tactics, techniques and procedures. This is a great motivator for our cadre and reminds them what we do here saves lives."

CHICAGO ( TheStreet) -- If the holiday season is make-it-or-break-it time for many retailers, it's also a major windfall for Visa (V - Get Report) and MasterCard (MA - Get Report). Every time a shopper pulls out his or her credit card, a percentage of that transaction goes straight to the large credit cards companies and the banks that issue their cards. Think of it as a gift that keeps on giving to large financial institutions.Those steadily rising fees have left many small businesses feeling like the Grinch. According to the National Retail Federation, credit- and debit-card fees have tripled over the past 10 years, to about $50 billion a year. That money comes straight out of retailers' profits, and small businesses eventually banded together to protest in increase in these so-called "swipe fees."

Hello TorstEn, this is going to get well confusing as we have a regular TorstAn too...
You ought to get some responses as we have a load of game board map creators around here.
First of all, my english is not the best xD
So back 2 Topic, iam programming a Browsergame, the game is playing in the medieval times. I would be pleased if someone can create me a fantasy map (world).
Unpaid for now. Possible payment at a future date if the Browsergame brings some money.
The map should be styled old link here.
Description of Map:
The map will be called "Ateria". The world should have two or three large continents and several islands and/or island chains. It would be nice if the designer can placed so mountain's and Sea's in the map.
The Climax of the map should be mixed.
On the Top of the Map there should be a bit snow (arctic area)
Somewhere in the middle should be a small dessert
and the rest of the map should be normal climax with green wood.
Quality & Size:
Required for web
Dimensions of maps 600 x 600.
Raster/Vector Not sure. Willing to discuss with cartographer.
I will have the right to use the image for commercial purposes, the artist will have the right to exhibit the image as part of his portfolio but not to exploit it for commercial gain.

Iam a bit confuesed so plz answer me angain.
Hi Torsten,
I'll gladly take on your request. I might not get back to you for a little while - up to a couple of weeks - but yeah, I'll see what I can do.
Keep in mind that I am a relatively new mapmaker, and have never tried my hand at this style before, but I'm confident that it'll turn out pretty well.
Is there a specific deadline you need this to be made by? If so, maybe another guild member could do it a bit quicker.
no there is no deadline because the Browsergame is planed to start in Jan - Feb 2009. maybe later because in the programming part is a lot of work to do
New Size is width = 800px, height = 800px or more
That sounds fine, Torsten. Do you care what colour/texture the background is (parchment versus paper white)?
is this a importent part? or can I give you that information when the Site is finished.
No problem; it can be changed afterward.
ok I while put some updates here in the evening round about 21:00 GM+1

text: JJJ - Unregistered October 06, 2012 6:25 PM I hope Kamui gets his start right tomorrow and finally gets a podium of his own. I think Kobayashi can be just as good if not better than Perez in a really good car but that said at some point regardless of whether or not it is his or the teams fault or maybe bad luck that he hasn't been on the podium yet he does need to get one to have a shot to be at a better team or at this point even to stay at Sauber.He definitely has the speed, but Trulli had that as well in his prime yet the results never really caught up with the blistering one-lap potential. Kamui has shown he has the pace and the racecraft to overtake but he needs to start showing he can put a couple of flawless stints together on a regular basis, or else the people in the paddock will change from wanting him to make good on the promise to establishing he's not capable to fight at the top of the field.Just get the nerves under control and do it this time. 9 agree 0 disagree

Political Theory
Primary fields of research
My research focuses on the following themes within political theory: the justification of democracy, conceptions of freedom, autonomy, respect, freedom of expression, liberalism, republicanism, Kant, neo-Kantianism, Habermas
Current research
I am currently working on the possibility of giving a non-instrumental justication of democracy. I defend a freedom argument for democracy that does not entail procedure-independent epistemic standards.
A second project concerns the meaning, use, and value of compromises in politics. I am particularly interested in exploring whether making compromises are required for the democratic legitimacy of political decisions.
Recent Courses:
- Political Theory and the History of Political Thought
- Kant's Practical Philosophy
- Civil Disobedience
- The Politics of Recognition

This is why we avoided consoles - all of these products were launched this year.
Still, have to say the Wii has done quite well for itself. Amazing that there are still shortages!

I can't imagine anyone reading this posting hasn't already read about the Apple "goto fail" bug in SSL. My reaction was one of incredulity; I really couldn't believe this code could have got into the wild on so many levels.
First we've got to consider the testing (or lack thereof) for this codebase. The side effect of the bug was that all SSL certificates passed, even malformed ones. This implies positive testing (i.e. we can demonstrate it works), but no negative testing (i.e. a malformed SSL certificate), or even no dynamic SSL certificate testing at all?
What I haven't established* is whether the bug came about through code removal (e.g. there was another 'if' statement before the second goto) or, due to trial-and-error programming, the extra goto got added (with other code) that then didn't get removed on a clean-up. There are, of course, some schools of thought that believe it was deliberately put in as part of prism!
Then you have to query regression testing; have they never tested for malformed SSL certificates (I can't believe that; mind you I didn't believe Lance was doping!) or did they use a regression-subset for this release which happened to miss this bug? Regression testing vs. product release is always a massive pressure. Automation of regression testing through continuous integration is key, but even so, for very large code bases it is simplistic to say "rerun all tests"; we live in a world of compromises.
Next, if we actually analyse the code then I can imagine the MISRA-C group jumping around saying "look, look, if only they'd followed MISRA-C this couldn't of happened" (yes Chris, it's you I'm envisaging) and of course they're correct. This code breaks a number of MISRA-c:2012 rules, but most notably:
15.6 (Required) The body of an iteration-statement or selection-statement shall be a compound-statement
Which boils down to all if-statements must use a block structure, so the code would go from (ignoring the glaring coding error of two gotos):

Life first appeared on Earth around 3.8 billion years ago—not long after the Earth itself —and life forms have been changing and diversifying ever since. How is it possible for scientists to know about the history of life? What methods do they use to study life and how it has evolved over time? The methods scientists use to reconstruct the story of living things and how they change over time also change over time. New techniques and instruments are constantly being developed to look more deeply into the world of cells and DNA.

Volunteers construct 100th wheelchair rampPublished 11:00am Sunday, February 2, 2014
Click here to subscribe and skip the survey.
Asking for nothing in return, longtime area resident Peck Vaughn has been assisting community members in need for more than 50 years.
In recent days, Vaughn and his fellow volunteers reached a noteworthy milestone in their charitable giving to the community.
Last Monday, Vaughn and six other volunteers completed construction and installation of their 100th wheelchair ramp for area residents. It is a service that Vaughn has been involved with since the late 1980s.
The idea is to provide handicapped and disabled residents easy access to and from their homes. It's also a service that brings satisfaction, said Vaughn.
"It's a great feeling. I feel obligated to help. Whoever needs the help, it really doesn't matter."
Vaughn says that with three other workers, it takes about one to one-and-a half hours to complete a ramp. The whole project can be wrapped up in an afternoon. Monday's project, said Vaughn, went quicker due to a larger workforce.
For each wheelchair ramp built, it costs the men approximately $250 to furnish the materials necessary to build it. It's an expense that Vaughn and others pay for out of pocket.
Next Monday, Vaughn expects to start work on wheelchair ramp number 101. With little break in between, he will honor another ramp request later in the week.
The 92-year-old Vaughn is no stranger to volunteer work. A member of the Lincoln County Baptist Association, Vaughn has been seen all over town over the years, working with Habitat for Humanity or performing carpentry work on homes that have suffered fire damage.
On at least five occasions, Vaughn has helped to re-construct burned-out houses for citizens in need. It is a particularly valuable contribution, especially to those who don't have homeowner's insurance.
"We help with the framework and other carpentry work. Most times, we are able to get started on the house the same day," he said.
A retired Loyd Star Attendance Center teacher, Vaughn has also worked at Brookhaven and Riverwood Funeral homes for close to 53 years, respectively. He also has received the Book of Golden Deeds from the Brookhaven Exchange Club. The award is given to a community member that exemplifies exceptional volunteerism and Christian sacrifice to the community.
Vaughn encourages citizens interested in assisting with his efforts to provide a donation to the Lincoln County Baptist Association.

Three judges in D.C. just killed Net Neutrality.
This could be the end of the Internet as we know it. But it doesn't have to be.
The big news: A federal appeals court on Tuesday struck down the Federal Communications Commission's Open Internet Order. This decision means that companies like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon—which brought the lawsuit—are now free to block or slow down any website, application or service they like.
These companies will rush to change the Web and line their own pockets at our expense — creating new tolls for app makers, expensive price tiers for popular sites, and fast lanes open only to the few content providers that can afford them.
It didn't have to be this way.
The FCC's rules were designed to prevent Internet service providers from blocking or interfering with Web traffic. Instead of reversing a Bush-era decision that weakened the FCC's authority over broadband, and establishing solid legal footing, former FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski issued the rules in 2010 under the complicated and shaky legal framework the court rejected today.
The rules the court struck down left much to be desired, but they were a step toward preserving Internet users' freedom to go wherever they wanted, whenever they wanted.
Now, just as Verizon promised it would in court, the biggest broadband providers will race to turn the open and vibrant Web into something that looks like cable TV—where they pick and choose the channels for you. They'll establish fast lanes for the few giant companies that can afford to pay exorbitant tolls and reserve the slow lanes for everyone else.
We could pay dearly for the previous FCC's weak political will and wishy-washy approach. But today's ruling leaves the door wide open to a better approach. It's not too late for the FCC to reverse its terrible decisions and repair its doomed strategy.
That's right. The FCC could make all this go away by simply reading the law correctly and reclaiming the authority it already has to protect Internet users for good. The agency had clear authority before the Bush administration abdicated it and the Obama administration failed to fix the mistake.
New FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler recently stated that the FCC must be able to protect broadband users and preserve the Internet's fundamental open architecture. Now he has no other choice but to restore and reassert the FCC's clear authority over our nation's communications infrastructure.
There will be serious pushback from the most powerful phone and cable companies (and an array of hired guns and front groups). They will make threats, recycle all of their debunked myths about the Internet—and promise we can trust them not to do any of the bad things they've fought so hard to do.
For too long, the FCC has worked to fulfill the wish lists of the big phone and cable monopolies—instead of looking out for Internet users like us.
Now the free and open Internet is flat-lining. But Wheeler has the paddles in his hands and the power to resuscitate Net Neutrality. We'll know soon if he has the political guts to use them.
We need strong protections and sensible policies to ensure the Internet continues to thrive and prosper. But to make that happen the millions of people who have fought for Net Neutrality—and the millions more who have rallied against Web-censorship bills like SOPA/PIPA and outrages like the NSA's unchecked spying and surveillance—rise up like never before.
Together we can fight back against these greedy Internet service providers. We can save the Internet we love. But we have to act now.
by Dan Gillmor
Tuesday's US appeals court decision on "net neutrality" is a major, and deeply worrisome, step in the wrong direction.
The promise, and for several decades the reality, of the internet was decentralization: a network of networks where innovation would take place largely at the edges, not in the center. It was the antithesis of the centralized systems of the communications and media systems that prevailed in the 20th Century.
We are on the verge of losing the internet that held such promise, at least for the near and medium term. Today's federal appeals court ruling in a suit by Verizon against the Federal Communications Commission's already feeble network neutrality rules is only the latest evidence. The court ruling (pdf) will embolden America's rapacious telecom companies, which assert the right to decide what bits of information get to internet users' computers in what order and at what speed, or even if they get to our computers at all.
This was entirely predictable. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Congress and several presidents have created a policy and regulatory regime almost designed to limit choice in the long run. The FCC's 2010 "Open Internet Order", shot down by the court on Tuesday, was just one more bad move in a series of missteps. It purported to regulate the carriers in a way that the FCC had earlier ensured could not be done legally, because the commission had freed the carriers from any commitment to behave as the utilities they have become.
The FCC could fix that tomorrow, and thereby slow this rush toward a highly controlled internet. Given the clout of the telecom industry and its well-paid allies, not to mention the timidity, if not culpability, of the policy makers, that's a long shot.
The telecoms have repeatedly promised not to do what is in their obvious best interest: turn the internet into an enhanced form of cable television. You are deluded if you think any American corporation, much less these giants that grew up as government-granted monopolies, will operate for the public interest when that conflicts with their bottom lines and political power. I predict that in a few years, Verizon's statement on Tuesday, promising a commitment to customers' internet access "when, where and how they want" will be seen as a classic in corporate BS.
Besides the carriers, who wins if this decision stands, and if Congress and the FCC don't reverse course? Google will complain bitterly, but it will be one of the winners, because it can afford to be – and, besides, Google already sold out its users on net neutrality in the mobile arena via a deal with Verizon in 2010. Look for deals where telecoms "partner" with Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and big media companies of all kinds.
If you are a smaller company in media or digital services, you lose. Verizon, Comcast, AT&T and the other carriers will inevitably give higher priority to traffic from companies that pay – a double-dipping process for the carriers – and lower priority, if any at all, to the ones that can't or won't pay. If you are an innovator, you lose, because you will effectively need permission from the central players. Facebook didn't need permission to become a behemoth, but the next innovator in social networking will.
Really, though, you and I are the chief losers, because we will pay more and get less than we would have in a more competitive world where we, not the central authorities, make the key decisions about the services and media we want. We won't know what innovation doesn't happen, because it won't be around.
The one positive impact of today's ruling, I hope, is that it will reinvigorate a public debate about our online future. And maybe Congress and the FCC will recognize that we need a course correction. It could start by recalling why the internet grew so fast, so amazingly fast, in the 1990s – because when we had to dial up via phones lines, and the phone company couldn't insist on being the only internet service provider, hundreds of ISPs competed for customers. Then Congress and regulators told the cable and phone companies they could squeeze out, or ban entirely, any competition on "their" lines.
To get the US on a better course, the FCC could classify the telecoms as "common carriers" – a designation that would require them to behave neutrally toward the companies that provide information and services, allowing end users to make the decisions. That would be progress, but it's not enough. It could also become onerous regulation that hinders innovation in its own right.
Eventually, if America is to have truly state-of-the-art broadband, as a number of other countries have done, we will have to recognize that there's little genuine competition among ISPs today. We'll have to accept that there's a natural monopoly in the deployment of fiber optic lines to homes and businesses (or at least to the curb outside). If we allow single companies to build those lines, we will have to require that those companies allow others to provide internet access itself on the lines – sharing them, in other words.
Last week my university hosted a group of journalism teachers from other schools. These professors are planning to help their students appreciate what I call the "startup culture", an entrepreneurial environment that rewards ideas and execution in an always-changing technology and media ecosystem. At the end of our five-day workshop, I implored these educators to learn more – and help their students understand – the impact policy has on what they do today, and what they will be able to do tomorrow. In particular, network neutrality is a linchpin to a future in which tomorrow's media ecosystem will emerge.
It's all about control, I said. If control reverts to the center of the networks, tomorrow's innovators will need permission, and tomorrow's media users will have fewer choices. The court's ruling is a big step backward for the future innovation America supposedly wants.

Dropbox Rolls Out Reseller Partner Program
Dropbox is closing a significant gap in its B2B strategy this week with the unveiling of a new channel program to give resellers better incentive to add Dropbox services to their practices.
Send to Kindle
Cloud file sharing specialist Dropbox Inc. is closing a significant gap in its B2B strategy this week with the unveiling of a new channel program to give resellers better incentive to add Dropbox services to their practices.
The new Dropbox Partner Network allows partners to resell, manage, and support its Dropbox for Business offerings customized to their clients' specific needs, according to company officials.
"We wanted to match the demand we were seeing from MSPs and resellers," Dropbox channel chief Adam Nelson told Channelnomics. "We've had thousands of inbound requests for a program like this."
Nelson said the vendor has been working with about 150 early-adopter partners to fine tune the program. DPN currently offers a simple, single-tier reseller program that allows registered partners to subscribe to Dropbox services at a discount and set their own prices. While the service cannot be white-labelled at this time, DPN partners will own the client relationship and billing and will deliver Tier-one support for the life of the contract, Nelson said. Updated management functionality will allow partners to manage multiple Dropbox accounts from a single dashboard.
The Dropbox reseller program includes access to a dedicated account manager as well as deal registration and new training sales and marketing materials. The support materials are available through a revamped Reseller Portal.
The company is currently piloting a referral program as well, officials said.
Nelson said the short-term goal is to get another 150 partners into the program. "As we grow, we want to make sure we're scaling our team internally," he said.
"We've worked closely with the Dropbox team as they built out the Dropbox Partner Network, and we've been impressed by their dedication to the program," said Rajan Kapoor, director of technology at New York-based MSP Cartwheel. "Our clients all know Dropbox, and we're excited to now have the tools to bring Dropbox for Business to them in a way that fits their business needs."
Dropbox Vice President of Sales Kevin Egan said his company has been serious "about making Dropbox not just a service that's about consumers, but one that for enterprises as well," said. "We're excited about the pace of innovation and uptake."
Dropbox B2B Aspirations Go Through the Channel
The channel piece begins to solve one of the last remaining issues obstructing the steady progress Dropbox has made in evolving into a more business-focused service. In april, Dropbox rebranded its Dropbox for Teams as for Dropbox for Business and introduced some enhanced security features with new single sign-on capabilities.
Dropbox has attracted more than 200 million users in the consumer market and built a $4 billion valuation by giving away its cloud-based storage and file-synchronization services. It's no small wonder the company would want to parlay that success with an expansion into the B2B market — a space dominated by its more business-focused rival Box Inc. — to accelerate sales growth and market coverage to bolster fiscal health and support its massive valuation.
In addition to Box and Dropbox, others in the market include SugarSync Inc., Egnyte Inc., ShareFile and Syncplicity LLC. Arguably, Microsoft Corp.'s SkyDrive and Google's Drive fall into the file-synchronization category. Several security vendors, including F-Secure Corp. and Trend Micro Inc., have given the space a whirl recently with business-targeted offerings touting their security-focused pedigrees.
