Islam vs. liberty
Remembering 9/11 | Is a rule-obsessed religion that denies original sin and the need for grace compatible with freedom?
"Islam vs. liberty" Continued...
The United States replied to 9/11 with not only military might but the hope that Muslims in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other countries would gain freedom. A WORLD cover in 2005 showed an Iraqi voter making an ink-fingered peace sign. Television networks this year showcased demonstrators for freedom in Tunisia, Egypt, and elsewhere in the Muslim world.
But with democratic experiments stalling, more Americans are asking basic questions: Do many devout Muslims, for theological reasons, see liberty as an enemy? Is it historical accident that societies with a Protestant base have typically developed free institutions, and societies with a Muslim base typically have not?
To examine these questions we could use a brief foray into the comparative religion course that I taught for a decade at the University of Texas, where I tried to explain the basic Christian story of Creation, Fall, and Redemption.
In a class of 30, at the western edge of the Bible Belt, only a handful knew the biblical belief that we are helpless in our sins and that our only hope lies in God's grace because of Christ's sacrifice. Most students identified Christianity with a set of moralistic rules: Obey them and you're good.
Oddly enough, what they saw as Christianity is more like Islam. Muslims do not recognize original sin. They contend that Allah through his prophet Muhammad laid out the rules for moral living, and that we are naturally capable of following all of them. To quote from one typical and popular Muslim website, 2muslims.com, "A believer . . . has the conviction that there is no other means of success and salvation for him except purity of soul and righteousness of behavior."
Christians say only Christ meets that standard. (This is why "substitutionary atonement" is a crucial doctrine.) Muslims say they can meet it.
Islam's non-recognition of original sin, and consequent assumption that we can be sinless, leads Mubasher Ahmad of the Islamic Research Foundation International to conclude that it's possible "to eliminate suffering caused by humans." Muslims believe Allah has set out rules that can lead to a just society: Shariah law. The other alternative, a society of liberty, will bring pain but no gain: Liberty for what, to disobey Allah's rules?
Christians don't think a set of rules will make things right. The whole Old Testament shows that. God cares about what's in man's heart-and liberty reveals it. Will we love and trust God in our trials, or go our own way? The verdict of Scripture: Apart from God's grace, we go our own way.
Muslims, though, see God's tests not as primarily a push for us to cry out for mercy, but as a placement exam for heaven. In Muslim theology, "The harder the test you undergo and pass, the higher reward you will get on the day of judgment. . . . The easier the test which is passed, the lower the reward."
The difference between the two religions is profound. Christians emphasize God's grace in changing people like Jacob and Joseph who were liars and braggarts, people like Samson and Paul who relied on their own strength or their own intelligence, people like Gideon and Peter who through God's grace lost their fear and became bold and courageous. These individuals had to become aware of their own transgressions and limitations. They had to be broken, because often we don't realize how much we need God until we have no other alternative.
Let's follow this trail for a moment. We do not reach God: He reaches us, often when we are desperate. The goal is to end up in the right place, and not necessarily to receive a star for perfect attendance along the way. God values heart obedience, which shows up when we are free to disobey, above the pressured, collective bowing and prostrating that typifies Islamic obedience-so governments should not force us to go through the motions.
The Bible story is troubling to devout Muslims. Christians read in the Bible honest reporting about twisted, sinful individuals whom God chose not because of their own righteousness but because of His love. Muslims, though, see a record of great heroes that Jews and Christians somehow twisted during centuries of transmission. Since original sin does not exist, why does the Bible tell the stories of so many sinners?
What to Christians makes the Bible ring true-its record of how Noah got drunk, Lot committed incest, etc.-is exactly what makes it ring false to Muslims. Muslims believe that Allah picked biblical leaders to carry His messages because of their strong character, which enabled them to obey the rules. In Christianity the last shall be first. In Islam the first shall be first.
Muslims respect Jesus as one of perhaps 124,000 messengers or prophets Allah has sent, and one of the 25 listed in the Quran, but not as our Redeemer: Since we have no compulsion to sin we have no need of one. Christians know that Jesus was "pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed." Muslims ask, How can wounds heal others? Militant Muslims want to pierce others.
In short, Christians want man to be given enough freedom to come close to hanging himself, so that realizing his sin he turns to God. Muslims say man is good but will go wrong if given freedom.
How does this work out in practice for devout Muslims? Since they think we can be sinless if we have strong character and follow all the rules, the rules (mostly taken from the Hadith, which are Muhammad's sayings) are specific.
Let's start with prayer, which is highly rule-driven. Each time of prayer is made up of units containing set sequences of standing, bowing, kneeling, and prostrating while reciting verses from the Quran or other prayer formulas. The sequences are repeated twice at dawn prayer, three times at sunset prayer, and four times at noon, afternoon, and evening prayers. No deviation allowed.
Other rules emphasize humility, and that's not bad: Islam forbids boasting about good deeds or the contributions made to build a mosque. Muslims are forbidden to build over graves, make them high, put lights over them, or write on them. Men are not to wear gold, and no one is to wear clothes that attract attention.
Some rules are for reasons of health and safety, and those are not bad. Muslims are not to urinate into stagnant water, or defecate on the side of the road or where people draw water. A Muslim is forbidden to hold small stones between two fingers and throw them because this could cause injury to eyes or teeth. A Muslim is not to walk through the marketplace carrying a sharp weapon unless it is properly covered.
Some rules seem designed to build community, and those are not bad. Muslims are not to sit between two people without their permission, or to greet only those they know, because both those known and those unknown should be greeted.
But one problem with a rule-driven religion is that adherents often think the rules will save them. Another is that rules multiply. Many Islamic websites contain numerous, detailed dos and don'ts. For example, one questioner asked a cleric, "Is it permissible to kill insects that may be found in the house, such as ants, cockroaches and the like, by burning them?" The answer was, "If these insects are harmful, they may be killed with insecticides, but not with fire." That's because fire, according to Muhammad, was to be used only on rats, scorpions, crows, kites [like hawks], and mad dogs."
For the devout, the specificity of Islamic law is ferocious. Categories of law codes on the al-islam.org/laws website, which represents the views of Iraq's influential Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Hussaini Sistani, include specifics on "Pure and Mixed Water, Kurr water, Under-Kurr Water, Running Water, Rain Water, [and] Well Water." Headings under "Things which make a fast void" include "Sexual Intercourse, Istimna (Masturbation), Ascribing Lies to Allah and His Prophet, Letting Dust Reach One's Throat, Immersing One's Head in Water, Enema, [and] Vomiting."
Also, under the heading "Method of Slaughtering Animals," categories include "Conditions of Slaughtering Animals. Method of Slaughtering a Camel, Acts while Slaughtering Animals, Hunting with Weapons, Hunting with a Hunting Dog, Hunting of Fish and Locusts, Rules of Things Allowed to Eat and Drink, Eating Manners, Acts which are unworthy to do while taking a meal, Manners of Drinking Water."
That list only suggests the great multitude of rules. The Quran includes food requirements, rules concerning marriage and divorce, penalties for crimes, and commercial regulations. Islam's many rules seem arbitrary to non-Muslims-but as one website states at the end of its long list, "There are more commands and prohibitions which came for the benefit and happiness of individuals and mankind as a whole."
Muslims ordinarily do not gain from their religion a sense of liberty. They do frequently gain a suspicion of literary and intellectual diversity. For example, many Muslims wonder how the Bible could be an inspired work when many different authors produced it over a period of more than a thousand years. They ask why four separate Gospels tell the story of Christ's life and death: Wouldn't three of the four likely be false? They view the Quran, produced through one mediator, as much more credible.
Christianity by its very nature is about the one and the many, monotheism with a trinity. Muslims see the tension in holding firmly to both, and they are right. That tension has pushed Christians to build a society that emphasizes both unity and diversity and in that way reflects the Trinity. The U.S. Constitution created a separation of powers, forbidding the federal government from preferring any religion, but Muhammad united religious, political, and military power, and Muslim leaders ever since have aspired to do the same.
This Muslim emphasis on tawhid-making everything united-has enormous cultural and governmental implications. Without a sense of original sin, Muslims do not grasp Lord Acton's idea that (among humans) power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. In Muslim countries a system of checks and balances seems redundant. Originally, Islamic countries had no separation between religious and civil law, between Islam and the state. That's how Muslims want things to be once again.
Because Islam in many ways trains people not to govern themselves but to be governed by dictates, Muslim countries frequently have dictators in charge. Abraham questioned God about the destruction of Sodom, but even the word Islam means "submission." Those who don't submit jeopardize their lives: Hisham Kassem of the Egyptian Organization for Human Rights says, "It's not safe to think in this part of the world."
Although the Quran states that "there is no compulsion in religion," Islamic nations often interpret that to mean that "there is no competition in religion" within their borders. Here's a typical Muslim definition of freedom (from Mumtaz Ali Khan, an Indian sociology professor and cabinet minister): "Freedom of religion means the right of an individual to practice, profess and propagate his religion. . . . Freedom of expression means the liberty that every individual has to convey his thoughts. . . . But he should not express his views in a manner that offends the feelings of the general community to which he belongs."
A Muslim who becomes a Christian offends his general community. A Christian who evangelizes in Muslim countries offends the community. Some say Christians should be shunned. Others say they should die. In that environment, devout Muslims have shot or knifed critics of Islam, even gentle critics like Egyptian Nobel Prize winner Naguib Mahfouz.
Historically, Muslims have usually not killed the civilians they conquered. Usually, for almost 1,500 years, they have given Jews and Christians living in Muslim-ruled lands a special status as dhimmis (Arabic for "protected people"). The word dhimmi became historically significant in A.D. 628 when Muhammad's forces defeated a Jewish tribe that lived at the oasis of Khaybar and made with them a treaty known as the dhimma. The treaty allowed Jews to continue cultivating their oasis, as long as they gave Muhammad half of their produce.
Crucially, Muhammad reserved the right to break the deal and expel the Jews whenever he wished. That agreement has served as a model for Muslims over the centuries. Dhimmis, as historian Bat Ye'or has shown, typically had to pay discriminatory taxes acknowledging publicly their status as second-class citizens. They were on the hook for additional sums payable on Islamic demand. They had to supply forced labor on demand. They were ineligible for any public office and were without the right even to testify in legal battles.
Dhimmis were not allowed to construct new places of worship, but sometimes received permission to worship in buildings that predated Muslim conquest. (The buildings had to be dilapidated, with no crosses or bell-ringing allowed, and Muslims able to ransack them at will.) Dhimmis were not allowed to possess weapons, marry Muslim women, meet with others on the streets, or ride horses or camels (the two "noble animals"). Dhimmis had to wear special clothes, walk with eyes lowered, and accept being pushed aside by Muslims.
The Muslim goal in collecting taxes from dhimmis was to maximize not only revenue but abuse. North African 19th-century theologian al-Maghali advised that dhimmis be assembled on tax day "in the lowest and dirtiest place," with threatening officials placed above the dhimmis "so that it seems to them, as well as to the others, that our object is to degrade them." With the stage set, al-Maghali advised, officials could play out a little drama of dragging dhimmis "one by one (to the official responsible) for the exacting of payment. . . . This is the way that the friends of the Lord, of the first and last generations will act toward their infidel enemies."
Should Islam triumph, that's what Christians and Jews can expect from Muslim rulers.
Muslims, like Christians, divide people into believers and nonbelievers, but the Islamic conception of future relations between the two is very different. Christians believe that final Christian victory will come only when Christ returns. For Muslims, though, the world is divided into the dar al-Harb, land controlled by non-Muslims that forms the "territory of war," and the dar al-Islam, the land where Islamic law prevails. This is a permanent state of war, although there may be truces, because it is man's might that will make Islam supreme throughout the world.
In Islam, therefore, a peace is not a peace, and a truce should not last longer than 10 years. A time of peace longer than a decade is occasion not for relaxation but for feeling inadequate and fidgety. Infidels should never be allowed to rest on their laurels, famed 14th-century Muslim jurist Ibn Taymiyya asserted: Any land they possess is held illegitimately. This means that jihad is not aggression but retrieving what is Islam's legitimate possession. The dar al-Harb has no right to exist.
Muslims have long understood the difference between the Islamic and Christian agendas, and the way that Muslim centralism can contribute to a mission of permanent war. Medieval philosopher Ibn Khaldun wrote, "In the Muslim community, the holy war is a religious duty, because of the universalism of the [Muslim] mission and the obligation to convert everyone to Islam either by persuasion or by force."
Should Islam as a religion escape responsibility for 9/11? The terrorists who became infamous were not generic Muslims but largely came out of a radical Sunni Muslim movement founded by Ibn Abdul Wahhab (1703-1792). Wahhabis from the start were willing to kill civilians who opposed them. They did just that in the city of Qarbala in 1801, leaving 2,000 ordinary folks dead. In recent years Wahhabis have worked to overthrow "the American empire": They have trained a generation of students for that pursuit through a network of madrassas (religious boarding schools) funded by Saudi oil money.
It's clear that the 9/11 terrorists were familiar with bloody Quran verses. For instance, Sura 8:39, "And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah." Or 9:14, "Fight them, Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace." Or 9:29, "Fight those who do not believe in Allah . . . until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection." The terrorists were also familiar with Islam's history: Christianity initially spread through nonaggressive means, especially the blood of martyrs, while Islam initially spread at least in part through military conflict, with the blood of its opponents often flowing.
It's clear that the 9/11 terrorists were familiar with Quranic verses promising that good things will happen to all who die in a campaign to spread Islam. "Those who fly in Allah's way and are then slain or die," Sura 22:58 promises, "Allah will most certainly grant them a goodly sustenance, and most surely Allah is the best Giver of sustenance." Some were familiar with the thinking of the 11th-century Persian philosopher Avicenna, who suggested that spreading Islam by any means creates the greatest good for the greatest number in the life to come, and any suffering inflicted in this life is minor compared to the joy to come.
But an additional facet is also important. That enormous list of what to do and what not to do raises the question of what happens to those who break some rules. Some Muslims are relaxed about that, believing that daily ritual practices will cover over a multitude of sins. But some become frenzied when they break the rules-and they have so many to break. The 9/11 hijackers evidently took advantage of America's freedom to break lots of Quranic rules by having alcohol, prostitutes, and much besides. Their actions condemned them to hell, in Muslim thinking-but they had a "get out of jail free" card called jihad.
The notebooks of two of the terrorists showed their goal on Sept. 11, 2001: "Purify your heart and clean it from all earthly matters. The time of fun and waste has gone. . . . Those few hours that are left you in your life are very few. From there you will begin to live the happy life, the infinite paradise. . . . Read al-Tawba and Anfal [traditional war chapters from the Quran] and reflect on their meanings and remember all of the things that Allah has promised for the martyrs. . . . Know that the gardens of paradise are waiting for you in all their beauty, and the women of paradise are waiting, calling out, 'Come hither, friend of God.' They have dressed in their most beautiful clothing."
One fiery ending would purportedly make up for a multitude of sins.
Devout Muslims and devout Christians can agree and work together on some things but are worlds apart. What hope for peace do we have?
Comparative religion again: The Bible has survived two centuries of attacks by anti-Christian scholars who depict it as the cut-and-paste work of unskilled editors. Recent research and analysis has undercut much of their critique. Ironically, the Quran is much more susceptible than the Bible to such "higher criticism."
The authorized view is still that we should have faith in the Quran because Allah literally spoke it to the angel Jibreel, who in turn gave it directly to Muhammad over a 22-year period. Muhammad in turn supposedly dictated the message to a scribe, and had his associates commit various chapters to memory. But ex-Muslim scholars such as Ibn Warraq (of Pakistani origin but living in the West) and Western scholars such as John Wansbrough, Patricia Crone, and Michael Cook have discussed the Quran's questionable and slow origins in the seventh century, and its possible alterations over the next two.
Such criticism of the Quran has not gone far, though, because writers who pursue such questions lower their life expectancy. And yet, the future of peace in the Middle East may depend not on supposed theological "moderates" besting the radicals but on both moderates and radicals losing faith in Islam. Events of the past decade suggest that those who called Islam "a religion of peace" were overly optimistic. We've learned over the past 10 years that the road to peace is for fervent Muslims to give up their fervency.

Dhimmitude past and future
Today, it's hard to find a Christian who says slavery was righteous because slaves were kept alive. Muslims defend dhimmitude, however, by saying that Muslim conquerors could have expelled or killed Christians and Jews, but deserve credit for letting them live. (Of course, genocide against the inhabitants of conquered nations would have left Arabs with depopulated areas and not much likelihood of repopulating them.)
Some also have praised Islam for giving opportunities to the children of dhimmis. (Muslims often removed children from their Christian or Jewish parents and brought them up in Islam. That went along with the belief that all children are born Muslims and corrupted by parents.) Other defenders of Islam have asserted that dhimmi status was better than anything offered Jews under Christianity. That is generally not true: For example, under Byzantine authority Jews could not purchase any property that the church had, but under Islam they could purchase no property, period. Under the Byzantines, Jews could act as witnesses, but they could not under Islam.
The books of historian Bat Ye'or are full of specific detail. In Persia in 1890, Jewish women had to "expose their faces in public [like prostitutes]. . . . The men must not wear fine clothes, the only material permitted them being a blue cotton fabric. They are forbidden to wear matching shoes. Every Jew is obliged to wear a piece of red cloth on his chest. A Jew must never overtake a Muslim on a public street. . . . If a Muslim insults a Jew, the latter must drop his head and remain silent. . . . The Jew cannot put on his coat; he must be satisfied to carry it rolled under his arm. . . . It is forbidden for Jews to leave the town or enjoy the fresh air of the countryside. . . . Jews must not consume good fruit."
Muslims showed great patience in psychologically weakening their opponents. For example, authorities would allow bells inside churches but not outside, anticipating that the bells inside would "eventually fall into disuse. For the bells are normally attached to the church steeple so that when rung they may be heard from afar. If they are obliged to ring them within the church, then no one will hear them or pay heed to them and they will be abolished altogether since they will serve no purpose."
The result of beating and belittlement was obvious to observers in Turkey two centuries ago, who noted that dhimmis have "the most submissive cringing tone," and in Morocco during the 1870s, who said Jews had terrorized expressions. Should that be surprising? Didn't Jews have terrorized expressions in Christian-ruled territories? Bat Ye'or argues that "dhimmitude is in no way comparable with the position of Jews in Christendom." Jews in Europe were an oppressed minority; Christians and Jews in many Muslim countries were oppressed majorities. Persecution of a majority is no different ethically than persecution of a minority, but it requires establishment of a police state rather than just use of the police.
French philosopher Jacques Ellul, in an introduction to Bat Ye'Or's The Dhimmi, also differentiated the situation of the dhimmi from that of the European serf in the Middle Ages. Serfdom, he noted, "was the result of certain historical changes such as the transformation of slavery . . . when these historical conditions altered, the situation of the serf also evolved until his status finally disappeared." Dhimmi status, though, "was not the product of the historical accident but . . . the expression of an absolute, unchanging, theologically grounded Muslim conception of the relationship between Islam and non-Islam. It is not a historical accident of retrospective interest, but a necessary condition of existence."
If Bat Ye'Or is right, we should speak about the Muslim assignment of dhimmi status not in past tense but in present and future tenses as well. As Ellul wrote, "because of Islam's fixed ideological mode. . . . one must know as exactly as possible what the Muslims did with these unconverted conquered peoples, because that is what they will do in the future (and are doing right now)." Based on the experience of Christians in Sudan and Indonesia, Ellul's pessimistic realism is well-warranted. Dhimmitude is not merely something to be studied by historians; it still goes on wherever Islam gains an edge.

The goal of the Spin project is to enable users to capture photorealistic 3D models of objects using just an ordinary camera -- with no special lighting, sensors, or other equipment. Our approach works equally well for a mobile phone, a point-and-shoot camera, or a digital SLR camera. The results can be shared and viewed on a phone, in a web browser, or in a desktop application.
|Spin technology is available to the public in the latest Photosynth Preview. Give it a try!
Some of our inspiration comes from ideas first presented in Chen's 1995 "QuickTime VR" paper, which included techniques for encoding and viewing both panoramas and "object movies." QuickTime VR's object movies are essentially just flip-book animations of a sequence of images, and therefore they require special capture rigs to ensure smooth rotation. Because QuickTime VR object movies don't use any view interpolation, they are limited to a finite number of viewing angles.
The Photo Tourism project, a collaboration between Microsoft Research and the University of Washington, took these ideas into the realm of hand-held and crowd-sourced photography. The "spin" idea is called an "orbit" in the follow-on "Finding Paths" paper. However, in that work, the geometric proxies are just vertically oriented planes.
Photosynth was created when Microsoft's Live Labs (and then Bing Maps) turned the Photo Tourism idea into a web service and photo sharing community. (See Photosynth's background page for more historical information.) The orbits are informally called "donuts" by the Photosynth team and also use planar proxies.
Work on view interpolation continued in Microsoft Research, with a paper on interactive 3D architectural modeling that showed the benefits of more detailed proxies (first demonstrated in the Lumigraph and Façade papers) and then a fully automated system for computing piecewise planar proxies, which forms the basis of the MSR Spin pipeline.
This software was refined and a mobile capture demo was produced for TechFest 2011 and demonstrated to the press as well as presented at MIX11, alongside related technology called Rich Interactive Narratives that Eric helped develop.
In parallel, the Photosynth team continued to enhance and expand the Photosynth family of services, including real-time mobile panorama acquisition and stitching software.
In Microsoft Research, we refined the Spin technology, producing an Azure-based service, a series of interactive viewers for various platforms, and better real-time capture apps for Windows Phone. The algorithm for generating smooth arcs around an object is described in our SIGGRAPH 2012 paper, "Image-based rendering for scenes with reflections."
The Photosynth team, meanwhile, was exploring a variety of multi-viewpoint "panorama packet" ideas, and the two efforts merged in the fall of 2012, when the Photosynth team adopted our Azure service for creating spins and started re-engineering the Photosynth system around a cloud-based offering.

Emergent BioSolutions granted a sub-award to Transgene under the former's existing grant of approximately $5 million from NIAID, which was awarded back in March of 2012 to advance the development of MVA85A, a candidate vaccine against tuberculosis (TB). Transgene will be using the funding to advance their TB immunotherapy program.
Transgene is collaborating with Emergent BioSolutions for cell-line process development and manufacturing for Transgene's TB development candidate. Transgene is retaining all development and commercialization rights to candidates generated under this program.
Transgene's TB program, which was described by their chairman and CEO Philippe Archinard as "a unique, truly innovative antigenic combination" in a statement, is focused on developing a targeted immunotherapeutic to treat active TB, including resistant TB, using the company's viral vector technology. Transgene says these immunotherapeutics contain an array of TB proteins expressed during all phases of both active and latent infection; several potential product candidates Transgene has generated are currently being evaluated to determine which one will be advanced into further development.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court has refused to hear a southwest Ohio man's bid for a fourth trial in the 2008 bathtub drowning of his wife.
The state's highest court Wednesday stated it declines jurisdiction in Ryan Widmer's appeal of last year's ruling by the state's 12th District Court of Appeals.
Widmer's attorneys contend that police improperly removed the couple's bathtub from their home as evidence. Prosecutors responded that the argument had no legal merit.
The 12th District appeals court in January rejected a separate appeal focused on a detective's alleged misconduct and lack of testing of Sarah Widmer's remains for a possible genetic disorder.
A message was left Wednesday for Widmer's attorney seeking comment on appeal plans.
Widmer is serving 15 years to life for a 2011 murder conviction.

Video: Police Charge Man In Ballston Mall Molotov Cocktail Incident
Video: FBI Searches Apt. Of Man Charged In Molotov Cocktail Inciden
ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA) -- The FBI, Fairfax County
Police and the county's bomb squad searched the apartment Friday of the man charged in Thursday's Ballston Molotov cocktail incident, the FBI confirmed.
Twenty-nine-year-old Leon A. Traille, Jr., is charged with arson after he allegedly threw a Molotov Cocktail in the Ballston Common Mall Thursday.
A brown glass bottle with matches was thrown into the food court and produced a flame, according to an affidavit, but the fire was extinguished. The man who allegedly threw the bottle went to the second floor skyway and dropped a bag with three more Molotov cocktails before fleeing.
After closing the mall and three hours of searching the nearby area, police located and took custody of Traille, who was then questioned by the FBI, ATF and police.
On Friday, agents were at the Woodbury Park Apartments in the 2200 block of 11th Street N. near Clarendon, beginning a search at about 4 p.m., according to an FBI spokesperson.
A bomb technician examined the gray and red backpack belonging to the suspect. Police later found three more similar devices inside the mall.
Traille, who has no known address, was initially charged by Arlington County Police, but authorities say the charges are now dropped because of the federal investigation. A criminal complaint released on Friday alleges that witnesses saw a man throw the device and gave a description of the man to officers. A man with that description was allegedly seen on video surveillance as he left the mall.
The arson charge carries between 5 and 20 years in prison, if he is convicted. Traille appeared briefly in federal court in Alexandria Friday afternoon, and was unresponsive to the judge's questions. His next court appearance is set for Monday afternoon.

|Fun times at the cinema

Sonia Hubbard, pictured at right as Lydia O. Lydia in "The Girl in the Tutu or ... The Villain Kept Her on Her Toes," sums up the Saturday evening CineMagic event well. The melodrama was the final touch to a fun evening of much laughter.
Cowardly lion Delmer Moss from "The Wizard of Oz," pictured above at left, meets lion Sherman Kage from "Oz: The Great and Powerful" at Saturday night's CineMagic event at the Peerless Center in Holyoke. The rest of the Oz crews at the Moss family and friend table and the Regent Park/Carriage House table made one feel as if he/she were in the Land of Oz.
And then there were characters from "The Great Gatsby," "The Matrix," "The Lone Ranger," "Star Wars," "Harry Potter," "Despicable Me" and "The Addams Family" to add variety to a fun evening.

Landowner Sues Over Unpermitted Drilling
June 24, 2013
WHEELING — A group of energy companies allegedly ignored objections from James Kozik and continued to collect revenue from unpermitted drilling on his property in Triadelphia, states a lawsuit filed......
this could cause stress. best remedy would be for the land owner to move to another country and stop paying property taxes. The land would fall to the county and they could pass the headache on to somebody else.

Troll: It might not matter for very long, in any case. You almost certainly won't read all about it in these pages, but, taking place right now, in and around Washington, DC, as hosted by Penn State University, is the "12th International Conference on Carbon Dioxide Utilization". Scientists from around the world have gathered there to report on how different ways have been developed to convert CO2 into, almost literally, any sort of hydrocarbon, including the primary components of natural gas, such as Methane and Butane. Penn State, as noted above, the City University of New York, and Panasonic Corporation have all, for instance, developed catalysts and processes wherein sunlight can power the conversion of CO2 and water vapor into Methane and Oxygen. Princeton University and a commercial spin-off, Liquid Light, have tech that converts CO2 and H2O into Butane. Shale gas could soon become an inconsequence, a footnote.

WVUGEO, as a big supporter of coal to liquid fuels and coal to gas you don't seem to have the same anti-mineral rights "higher values" when it comes to all minerals. LOL
And they don't need your gas so bad they'll resort to secretly drilling under your property to take it. There are plenty of owners willing to sell their gas at a tidy profit to companies who are responsibly drilling for it and then providing Americans with cheap energy. Even you anti-gas loons who badmouth gas while heating your houses with it. LOL

"There is another gas industry practice known as "horizontal", "slant".......horizontal bore a mile deep beneath your property, or, an informant inside the drilling company"
99.9% of wells drilled into the Marcellus are deviated in some way now. I geosteered 2 in PA a few years back. It's very easy to steer around an adverse property tract.
Hence this guy is an idiot for holding out on a little over an acre worth of property. He really stuck it to the man on that one!! ::rolls eyes::
Just because you sign a lease doesn't mean they will drill on your land. I hope you realize you can sell/lease your mineral rights without giving up your surface rights. You probably missed out on a pile of cash because of some enviros misinformation about what they would do to your land. Tough break.

idliketoknow, in "He's lucky they even knocked on his door", has it about right; as to a limited extent does Triton, "gas underground ... does not know it has to stay on your property". The issues might make it to the US Supreme Court. The Texas Supreme Court in 2008 addressed the issue of subsurface trespass by fracking in "Coastal Oil and Gas versus Garza Energy Trust" and decided that gas drainage across land boundaries caused by fracking did not constitute unlawful taking. The PA Supreme Court has been asked to review the issue. There is another gas industry practice known as "horizontal", "slant" and/or "deviated" drilling, whereby they can guide a well bore off-vertical and drive it across property lines. That is considered an unlawful taking, or subsurface trespass; but: you would need sensitive equipment to detect a horizontal bore a mile deep beneath your property, or, an informant inside the drilling company. Kudos

Oral agreements? With an energy companies that has made thousands of deals? I wonder if this is not a case of someone thinking they were smarter than the fleet of lawyers who follow these companies around? Waited too long, held out when the drillers did not need him to proceed. Its not like coal mining where they have to go around you if you hold out, its a pool of gas underground that does not know it has to stay on your property. Sounds like the guy wants to get them to do the orginal deal that he passed on and his hoping someone will buy the oral agreement claim. So if he would win his lawsuit the lawyer handling that gets 33% anyhow. Dozen local law firms handle negotiations with gas firms, use them. Good luck but sounds like he is trying to undo a mistake in judgement. I dont buy a car on an oral agreement, was this about over a thousand acres? 3 million bucks on the table and he had no lawyer to protect his interests?

Yet Another Synscan Beta Code Release
Posted 07 September 2012 - 11:57 PM
A new feature of Polar Re-alignment is added and improved accuracy under Alignment sub-menu of the hand control in the firmware. User may use this feature to do the polar alignment without aligning Polaris in the polarscope for an EQ mount.
This new firmware also works with AZ goto and DOB SynScan goto mount."
Skywatcher EQ Firmware Updates
Posted 09 September 2012 - 01:38 PM
Posted 09 September 2012 - 01:54 PM
There was an earlier thread on this posted a few weeks ago for the Sirus mount which is the same as the SkyWatcher. It's essentially a drift alignment procdure with "hand controller assist". It really does cut down on the drift. PHD guiding doesn't have to work as hard.
It's not really a drift alignment, what it is is the AllStar polar alignment system from the company's Celestron mounts ported to their SynScan mounts...
Posted 09 September 2012 - 02:58 PM
I have now downloaded 03.30 beta 29 and tested it with no issues.
I still do a Polar alignment via the original instructions in my Skywatcher manual and it has given me very good accuracy in imaging. Of course the polar scope reticle has to be aligned correctly as well for this to work properly. (When my mount was shipped from the distributor, the reticle was NOT set correctly.) Now with the hand controller update, I further adjust on a selected star (after the "regular" Polar alignment), to tweak both T-Bolts to center. I think this helps PHD guiding in that it doesn't have to do as much correction. What do you think?

Edit: One more thing - with the new beta 3.30 i could not make PHD to calibrate and start guiding. The star just does not move enough. I am definitely back to 3.28 till we get new beta with these bugs fixed.
Posted 26 October 2012 - 09:13 PM
Posted 28 October 2012 - 03:15 PM
Meanwhile for those of you that want to test the new polar re-align feature here is what i do to make it work as expected:
1. Make rough polar alignment using the polar scope. I personally put polaris in the center of the polar scope and this way guarantee that it is no more than 1 degree off in azimuth and altitude.
2. Make 3-star alignment. Center the stars as accurate as possible during it. I personally attach my DSLR and use the live view with enabled grid to ensure that the star is centered properly.
3. After the 3-star alignment is completed start the polar re-alignment. when asked for a star to be used select star from the list which is not near any one of the 3 used for the previous alignment. Follow the procedure and center the star as accurate as possible. When the procedure is completed look through the polar scope to ensure that the polar star is where it is expected to be. You can use program like "polar finder" to see where polaris should be regarding the center of the polar scope at this time.
4. After the polar re-align is completed park the mount, turn off the power, turn it on again, select not to start from park position and make another 3-star alignment. After this you can start taking pictures.
These observations are based on the tests that i made on 3.28 and 3.30 beta versions. When i have observations about the new beta 3.32 i will report.

Time to crowd around TV for NCAA bracket
Hundreds of college basketball teams learn their fate Sunday with the announcement of the 68-team field for the NCAA Tournament.
The speculation leading to Sunday's announcement on CBS is almost as interesting as the announcements themselves.
Seth Greenberg, ESPN's college basketball analyst, believes the Mountain West Conference will get five teams into the tournament — San Diego State, Colorado State, UNLV, New Mexico and Boise State.
"Defense makes San Diego State special," Greenberg said. "And Jamaal Franklin is such a good player.
"Colorado State is a mature team that doesn't turn the ball over.
"UNLV is an enigma. The Rebels are extremely talented, but the decision-making isn't what it should be.
"New Mexico makes you play at its pace. I think they're poised for a deep run in the tournament."
Said Joe Lunardi of ESPN's Bracketology: "Boise State is good enough to get in, but there is some question. There must be upsets in other conferences for Boise State to be out.
"I think New Mexico is good enough to be a one or two seed, but it's probably not going to happen. But I think they're a Sweet 16 team."
More tournament talk
• In the West Coast Conference, Lunardi expects Gonzaga to be a one seed, "but not the overall No. 1," he said. "It would be mind-numbingly wrong, if the Zags aren't a one seed."
• In the Pac-12, Greenberg said to "look out for Colorado because it can control the tempo of a game." Lunardi said he looks for an Arizona-UCLA Pac-12 final "because they have the most talent. I think Arizona can be a four seed. They kind of bump along in February and kick it into gear on March."
• The NCAA Selection Show is scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunday on CBS. At 4 p.m., selection coverage switches to truTV.
• NCAA Tournament game coverage starts Tuesday and Wednesday on truTV with the NCAA First Four play-in games.
• Overall there are 67 tournament games, starting Thursday, with coverage on CBS, TBS, TNT and truTV.
Padres update
Officials at Fox Sports San Diego are on the attack.
Thursday, a two-page outline was sent out praising the network for its local coverage, including the "Battle on the Midway" — the basketball game involving San Diego State and Syracuse while slamming Time Warner for not carrying Padres games.
The email said Time Warner's claim that Fox is asking for a 300 percent rate increase for Padres games "is a smokescreen to avoid paying fair market value."
I don't want to take sides in this dispute because none of us knows what's going on behind closed corporate doors.
My feeling, however, is that Fox Sports San Diego needs to spend less time attacking TW in public and more time working out a deal.
Plus, I'm not convinced FSSD is fully committed to being a San Diego regional network. Sure, there was the "Carrier Classic." FSSD did pick up a few San Diego State men's basketball games. And it should be lauded for carrying two USD-San Diego State baseball games.
But do a few local games and the Padres make a network?
Around the bases
• Bob Chandler, longtime radio voice of the Padres, will return to the airwaves as the Saturday and Sunday host for Padres' pre- and postgame shows on The Mighty 1090. Chandler, a walking history book of the Padres and one of the nicest men in the business, will work with Craig Elsten.
• Nothing official yet, but word is Fox Sports San Diego will not send Mike Pomeranz and Mark Sweeney, the network's pre- and postgame show hosts on Padres' telecasts, on road games.

Its that time of the year again when we as riders fill our calendars with toy runs for a variety of causes.
In the upstate of South Carolina, this will be the 10th annual Marine Corps Toys for Tots run and if this year is anything like previous events it will be chilly, huge and a great tine.
The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.
Toys for Tots began in Los Angeles as a charitable effort in 1947 by reservist Major William L. Hendricks. Major Hendricks was inspired by his wife Diane when she unsuccessfully tried to find an organization to donate a doll to a needy child. At her suggestion, he gathered a group of local Marine reservists, including Lieutenant Colonel John Hampton, who coordinated and collected some 5,000 toys for local children that year from collection bins placed outside of Warner Bros. movie theaters. Their efforts were so successful that in 1948 Toys for Tots was launched as a national campaign. Major Hendricks enlisted celebrity support including Walt Disney Studios, which designed and donated the famous red toy train logo.
The Greenville, South Carolina 2012 campaign is managed by Staff Sergeant Gustavo Villasenor. He is assisted by Staff Sergeant Jerod Mann.
Together, these two Marines collaborate with more than one hundred individual collection location volunteers, fifteen event sponsors, and five nonprofit distributors to generate over 40,000 toys for local children.
The success of the Greenville, South Carolina campaign is a testament to the dedication and charitable spirit of businesses and residents in the Upstate community.
I've been asked to lead Group 2, as we exit Heritage Park and ride to Harley of Greenville. So...with that in mind i thought "why not add to the ride?" I'm thinking we should all meet for breakfast (take over a resturant) and then ride as a group to Heritage Park. Wanna keep up with all the developments and details...click here,
go to the events section and click "JOIN".
Everytime I update the event, you get the info.
Hope to see you Saturday so I can persoanlly thank you for your support and being a ROCK101 listener.
If you've never done a ride like this befiore, this clip from the 2011 event will give you a sense of the spirit of hope and giving that is part of the Toys for Tots Run each year.
Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public charity is the fund raising, funding and support organization for the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program.

Now, the same treatment has been given to men. Here's what would happen if, instead of George Clooney, Matt Damon or Justin Timberlake, Prince Charming et al graced the front of GQ, Esquire and the like. Sly commentary on modern-day expectations of unattainable physical perfection duly noted.

text: I go a lot by myself and my Dad, even though I am grown, is still very protective and worried about me when I go out alone. I bought a SPOT locator this year to help ease his mind. It goes directly off my Iphone and I can send him personally typed messages and he likes to watch where I am going. He said it was pretty cool because he could actually watch me walk down a canyon and back up. I can send an SOS message to him if say I just needed a little bit of help and it was something that wasnt super serious. If something does happen, it also has the 911 button on it where it dispatches my location to emergency services. It lets you map where you are going and lets you look at the map later on as well. It's a little expensive but is definitely a life saver if you really needed it and I think the price is worth the comfort I have knowing I wouldn't be lost and not found!

1) Zimbra Desktop 7.2.1 has been released - actually about 2 months ago - 2012-09-06.
2) Zimbra Desktop 7.2.x doesn't even appear on Zimbra Product Management Portal
3) No announcement appears to have been made on this forum. (If I'm wrong, please point out the link, and I'll retract this point.)
4) Zimbra 8.0 is not backwards compatible with Zimbra Desktop versions prior to 7.2.1 for tagging purposes (as per Bug 62231).
5) Zimbra Desktop 7.2.1 is not compatible with Zimbra 7 for tagging purposes (as per Bug 63572, which remains unresolved).
6) Concerning tagging compatibility between 7/8 desktop and server - Bug 62231 and Bug 63572 - I cannot get a response as to what the current position is, and how it affects users. A response would be nice.
7) Zimbra Desktop 7.2.1 is possibly the last release of Zimbra Desktop (though not definitely) and possibly the only release to support Zimbra 8. Thus is it of particular significance for users to know about its release.
8) No further mention of the future prospects for Zimbra offline usage has been mooted by Zimbra. By Zimbra 9 (JudasPriest) or Zimbra 10 (Korn) will there be html 5 offline caching or something similar for desktop/laptop/netbook/tablet users?
Smartphone users at least have better syncing options with native clients - utilising the unified smartphone environment. Desktop OS users have no such luck - only the prospect of lots of fragmented apps, or unified apps that don't fully support Zimbra.
9) Alas, after many inadequate, tardy, or non-existent responses and announcements from Zimbra over many years, I'm somewhat unsurprised by this lack of communication with customers, users, and contributers.
This is a particularly galling issue for those users who are frequently told not to ask about release dates, and instead to check for announcements and check pm portal instead.

Good Luck, let us know how things turn out for you.I'd recommend checking the health of your new LED lamps since your stock lamps work normally. I would think they should light-up in unison with the indicator.
The original wiring uses a "sneak" current arrangement to illuminate the turn signal indicator. the small lamp in the speedo lights up, and, the "other side" turn signal bulbs provide the path to ground.example:you turn on the right turn signal.right turn signal power is applied to the right side of the indicator bulbcurrent flows through the indicator bulb and into the left turn trafficator bulbs.(since the indicator lamp is an order of magnatude smaller than the trafficator bulbs it glows brightly while the trafficator bulbs do not reach their illumination point.)Left turns operate the left side circuitry, and apply power to the left side of the indicator bulb, while the right side lamps provide the ground return.
replacement of the indicator with an LED will be inconsequential to the rest of the circuitry. (OEM or otherwise)I'm wondering if your new trafficator LED units are making proper contact in their sockets .......Just to verify ...... 1. You have installed the diodes, the original trafficator bulbs, and everything appears to function nominally. 2. You swap out the trafficator bulbs with new LED replacements and they do not light up. Also, the indicator does light up - but does not flash.
........It is weird .....
Well, there is an easy fix.talk your local electronic hobbiest out of an 8 ohm 20 watt resistor. mount that resistor between the output of the flasher and ground.The purpose is to replace the load of the trafficator bulbs.
More important than the wiring is the actual mounting of such a heating element.You cannot mount it in the headlight housing. too much localized heat.It needs to be out where it can get good air circulation. If you have a B5 that would be somewhere behind the square sidecover on the bike's right side.Another important fact ...... I believe it will work to replace the need for a special flasher, however, I *do not* think it will make any difference to your LEDs that are failing to illuminate.
Bulletman,Autozone and virtually all auto shops have LED flasher units for $10-12. Take the unit from your C5 and pick one that has exactly the same connector configuration, and you will find that it will snap into your RE socket and work perfectly with the incandescents. The LED bulbs will require the diodes to prevent faint flashing of the opposite side lights. You will not need to add the resistor if you have the LED flasher.GSS

text: Good day, I am using the Outlook connector with our corporation using Zimbra as their e-mail solution. The Outlook connector has been working fine for me since April. Something has happened in the last month or so that has cause the connector not to sync back to the Zimbra server. I receive e-mails fine (except for the 15 - 30 minute delays). The problem is that once I make a change in Outlook, it does not send the data back to the Zimbra server. My Outlook inbox currently has 10 items. My Zimbra inbox is sitting at 5500+ e-mails. How can I correct this to get the sync back to the Zimbra server. My companies IT department wants me to remove Outlook and the connector and reinstall it. My fear is that I will lose all of the work I have done with these 5500 e-mails. Assistance and guidance are appreciated.

Dredd Confirmed To Come Back As A Short Film Instead Of A Sequel
By Nick Venable 2013-03-27 12:35:32 comments
For years after the abomination that was Danny Cannons 1995 barely-an-adaptation Judge Dredd, fans had to live with the image of Sylvester Stallones face in their minds, replacing the intentional facelessness of the anti-hero from the comics. But then, finally, Pete Travis Dredd, with help from Alex Garlands script, helped replace that image as one of the better, albeit moodier, action films of 2012.
Unfortunately, however, the movie bombed hard enough to justify the elongated gap between films, only making back $35 million worldwide on a $50 million budget. So any talk of a sequel realistically died a whispering death even before the film did surprisingly well on the home video market. But during a recent Reddit AMA, the films producer Adi Shankar dropped word that the character is not gone forever, and will instead be reappearing in an upcoming short film.
When asked if there would be a Dredd sequel, Shankar replied, Probably not. But I am working on a Dredd short in the vein of #DirtyLaundry ...you're actually the first person to know about this No investigative journalism needed on that one.
While its one of the lowest ranking forms of silver lining there is, fans should still be enthusiastic. The The Punisher: Dirty Laundry short, directed by Phil Joanou and starring Thomas Jane, that Shankar refers to is a pyramid of stacked over-the-top violence, more in tune with Lexi Alexanders batshit insane Punisher: War Zone than Jonathan Hensleighs take on the vigilante.
Theres no timeline on this thing yet, so youll just have to use your imaginations for now. In the meantime, you can watch the Dirty Laundry short below:

The rain fell apart (kinda what we expected, sadly...) We'll have plenty of clouds, it'll look a lot worse than it really is. And this, UNSETTLED, should linger for a few days.
Stayed warm last night/this morning. Near 60 to start, with a little patchy fog. Warming to around 70 today with more clouds than sun. Shower chances exist, but aren't likely.
More of the same the next few days, highs near 70, lows near 50, and more clouds than sun. Showers are possible, but not likely. Some sunny breaks will occur... but the clouds look stubborn.

Morrissey Events
|Sorry, Morrissey tickets aren't available at this time.
The Morrissey tour 2016 is coming closer by the day, and devotees of the Mancunian maestro are buzzing with anticipation at the prospect. If you've been to Salford Lads Club, had your pic taken and hit Affleck's Palace to buy some hipster threads, you'll know all about these latest Morrissey concerts. Maybe you'll buy tickets and even wear a fake hearing aid like the man himself when you head to the gig. It's time to queue up - in your mind at least - to buy Morrissey tour tickets for Mozzer's latest trek across the USA. The former Smiths frontman's American tour begins on November 10 in Chicago, before snaking off across the American west, coming to rest in Oakland, California on December 1. The November-December tour sold out almost immediately, and the double-decker bus (or ten ton truck) will soon be rolling into your town. Described by NME as "one of the most influential artists ever", Steven Patrick Morrissey, an unlikely product of Manchester's macho streets, captured the world's imagination with his camp rebellion as singer of The Smiths. While the rest of England basked in the shallow noise created by Wham! and Michael Jackson's moonwalk, Morrissey industriously churned out a line of classics like an industrial revolution era factory worker with a vengeance. The Smiths represented a new level of cerebral rock, with frequent political statements to accompany singles like "This Charming Man" and "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now". Expect the Morrissey schedule to be peppered with hits like these and more when you see Morrissey live in L.A., Chicago's Congress Theater or anywhere else on this tour.
Whenever the mayhem and hedonism of the Madchester era is discussed, it's impossible not to mention Morrisssey. The drama king who as a teenager lived on a steady diet of TV soaps, bequiffed 50s rockers and female singing stars from Swinging London had a voice - a unique voice that earned him the highest accolades. The irony is that Morrissey was never part of the Madchester scene; if anything he transcended it. Morrissey tickets are not tickets to nostalgia. They're tickets to concerts that lay bare the horrid reality of neurosis and joy, the manic ride of youth. If you know anything about this man, you'll want to see him live. Morrissey live on tour is a phenomenon that won't be around forever. He's the one who has spoken out against world figures like George W. Bush, Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher and the Royal Family. More recently, he joined ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr in forbidding British Prime Minister David Cameron from liking the Smiths, stating that his overt vegetarianism is in clear opposition to Cameron's stag-hunting activities. Buy tickets to Morrissey here and be transported into the kitchen sink drama and reservoir sunsets of the man with the Irish blood and English heart.

|Dragon Hoopsters establishing support system for B-ball
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Dragon Hoopsters is a new group that has formed in Holyoke as a basketball booster club.
The nexus of the Hoopsters is a group of parents working to establish a support system for youth to have access to the resources needed to build and maintain a strong Holyoke Dragon basketball program. As with other athletic booster organizations, the Hoopsters' mission is to do all that it can to support successful basketball programs in Holyoke.
Ideally this support will include boys and girls at all levels from K-12. The group's vision is to fundraise and invest resources into Holyoke's basketball programs.
Initially, it is anticipated that this support will include the purchase of equipment, help in offsetting tournament entry fees and scholarships to camps.
The group is currently conducting fundraising activities which include a pop shot at halftime of all home basketball games and the sale of raffle tickets. The raffle, which runs through January, involves selling tickets for the chance of winning one of nine $100 prizes.
The prizes will be drawn in groups of three during the home basketball games on Jan. 19, 25 and Feb. 1. The group also plans to host a tournament in March as a fundraiser.
Once the group knows how much money they are working with this year, resources will be allocated based upon an application process, with emphasis being placed on investments which will have the greatest impact on the largest number of athletes.
For more information or to become involved in the Hoopsters, contact Marla Camblin at 854-3954, Kellie Race at 854-2944, Jessica Cumming 854-5476 or Dennis Herman at 854-2175.

May 26, 2016
MIAMI (AP) -- It's not that body parts never wash ashore on Florida beaches. But usually it's not an eye the size of a softball.
State wildlife officials are trying to determine the species of a blue eyeball found by a man Wednesday at Pompano Beach, north of Fort Lauderdale.
They put the eyeball on ice so it can be analyzed at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute in St. Petersburg.
Agency spokeswoman Carli Segelson says the eyeball likely came from a marine animal, since it was found on a beach. Possible candidates include a giant squid, a whale or some type of large fish.

Internet Filters
Jefferson County Public Library complies with state and federal law mandating the use of filtering software in public libraries. Internet filters are software programs that block access to content that is considered to be inappropriate for viewing in a public place. At JCPL, the filter blocks images for adults and sites for children and teens that depict pornography. Wireless devices used in the library are blocked by site. This includes materials accessed through the Internet that are intended to be sexually arousing or erotic, including but not limited to fetish pages, animation, cartoons, stories and child pornography.
JCPL's filtering software is not intended to block artistic/literary sites/images or sites/images that provide scientific or medically accurate information regarding general, sexual or reproductive health.
No filtering software is totally accurate. Filters may falsely block material that is appropriate in a public library setting or they may fail to block access to illegal or pornographic material. Customers may submit a Web Site Suggestion Form [1] to block or unblock a specific site. Jefferson County Public Library will respond to questions and concerns regarding the filter's accuracy by communicating with the filtering software vendor towards improving its product.
No filtering software can provide perfect security against explicit pictures. As with other Library materials, the use of the Internet by a child (under 17 years of age) is ultimately the sole responsibility of the parent or guardian.
See the Internet Filtering FAQ for more information.
The following rules are endorsed by Jefferson County Public Library.
- All users are responsible for obeying state and federal laws.
- All users are responsible for protecting copyright laws and licensing agreements and paying fines and charges for overdue/lost library materials and fee-based services.
- Users may not attempt unauthorized access (including the disabling of filters or hacking) to any computer system.
- All users should be cautious about providing personal information while using chat rooms, email, instant messaging, discussion groups, newsgroups, game rooms and all other forms of online communications.
- Jefferson County Public Library does not encrypt data sent or received through our Internet services so the connection should not be considered secure.
- Jefferson County Public Library has a no-tolerance policy for accessing pornography via the Internet. Anyone accessing pornographic sites/images in the public library will be asked to stop viewing sexually explicit images. If the patron does not comply this is a violation of the disturbance policy and staff may end their computer session and/or ask the patron to leave for the day.
- Safety of minors - The use of the Internet by a child (under 17 years of age) is ultimately the sole responsibility of the parent or guardian.
- Safety of minors - Chat rooms, email and other online communications are not permitted in the Children's Departments.
- Safety of minors - Those using the Internet should not make unauthorized disclosure or dissemination of a minor's (anyone under 17 years of age) personal information while using the Internet, email or other online communications.
- Safety of minors - Minors using the Internet must have authorization from a parent or guardian to disclose their personal information.
The Executive Director of the Library shall:
- Develop rules and procedures to ensure fair and reasonable use of the Internet.
- Monitor compliance with NCIPA requirements and other regulations.
