If you care about the diversity of the tech industry, then give Google some credit after it released Wednesday, for the first time, the demographics of its workforce.
Not so much for the numbers themselves, which illustrate how far the company has to go to create a truly diverse workforce, but for its willingness to shed light on the issue.
After I wrote a column on the issue of diversity and tech, Google gave me an advance look at the makeup of its workforce before releasing it publicly.
The statistics are detailed but easy to sum up: Google is still mostly a white male tribe, especially in tech jobs and leadership roles. Men make up 70 percent of its global workforce, and hold 83 percent of what it calls tech jobs. Whites are 60 percent of its U.S. workforce, and 72 percent of what it calls its "leadership" team.
The data had some gaps. While Google provided a gender breakdown of its global workforce, it did not provide the same breakdown for its U.S. workforce. At the same time, it provided a racial and ethnic breakdown of its U.S. workforce, but not for its global workforce. And Google did not release any figures for its Silicon Valley workers.
But the data it did release is sobering -- if any company could do well by these measures, it should be Google. Sixteen years old, the Mountain View-based company is a revenue-generating, hiring powerhouse that can draw the best talent worldwide, yet even it has been struggling to make its workforce more diverse.
That said, the racial and gender makeup of Googlers isn't surprising given what we know about the tech workforce, the issues of bias, the education pipeline and the other factors that shape who gets hired by tech firms.
"When we look around at the industry, we think we're doing OK, but it's not something we want to tout," Nancy Lee, Google's director of people operations, said in an exclusive interview with this newspaper.
The company's disclosure is an attempt to shed light on a difficult issue that matters to Google's future, she said. "A broader range of backgrounds will produce a broader range of innovation." It also comes as tech companies face more pressure on the diversity of their workforces; the Rev. Jesse Jackson of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition was recently in Silicon Valley pressing Facebook, eBay and Google to be more forthcoming on the makeup of their workforces.
Google says it was planning to release the information before that visit, as part of an internal process that began about 18 months ago with an audit of its workforce's demographics.
Groups that work on diversity in the tech industry applauded Google's move. "They didn't have to release their data," said Freada Kapor Klein, co-chair of the Kapor Center for Social Impact, which focuses on women and minorities in tech. "It's a sign that a lot of forces are coming together and Google is going to take a leadership role on the diversity issue."
Google joins a small set of Silicon Valley companies that offer data about the gender, racial and ethnic breakdown of its workforce, a group that also includes Intel and Hewlett-Packard. It's an issue on the minds of younger firms as well. Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's chief operating officer, recently said her company hopes to share its workforce data internally first and then with the public.
Google did not provide historical data, so there's no way to know how these figures have changed over time. But I think one way to put the numbers in context is to compare Google's demographics to those of the tech industry.
At Google, Hispanics and African-Americans combined make up just 3 percent of the firm's technical workers in the U.S.
That's low compared with the industry at large, according to a 2010 Mercury News report based on Census Bureau data. Then, 5.3 percent of computer and math occupations nationwide were held by Hispanics and 7.1 percent by blacks. (One caveat: There are differences in what Google considered "technical" occupations compared with broader government categories, employment experts say.)
Asians make up 34 percent of Google's workforce nationally. That compares favorably with national numbers for tech jobs; Asians held 15.5 percent of those. But in Silicon Valley, 50.1 percent of tech workers are Asian.
Globally, female Google employees hold 17 percent of the tech jobs at the firm. That compares with the 20 to 23 percent norm at top technology firms, said Telle Whitney, chief executive and president of the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology.
"They are low, no question about it," she said.
And women hold 21 percent of the company's leadership roles. "They have a ways to go with women at the most senior level," Whitney said. However, women are 48 percent of its non-tech global workforce. And at Google, roughly 50 percent of the 47,700 jobs globally are non-tech, which includes sales and marketing jobs.
Google's disclosure comes after the company, along with other tech firms, resisted media efforts to get employment data released. Google, along with Apple, Yahoo, Oracle and Applied Materials, fought the Mercury News' efforts to obtain the data several years ago, arguing that the information could cause competitive harm.
OK, disclosure is great, but what is Google doing to improve the situation?
In recent years, the company has given "unconscious bias" training to more than 20,000 employees. It is also working on its recruiting efforts, broadening the number and kinds of colleges it visits.
A few small milestones: Of Google's technical hires in 2013, 19 percent were women, compared with 16 percent the previous year. And last year, Google's black workforce increased by more than 30 percent.
"We are not where we want to be as an industry," said Google's Lee. "Everyone uses technology, but we don't want people just to use it but also create with it."
Let's see if Google's disclosure prompts more companies to do the same.

The Tour de Georgia starts April 18, and the teams spent some time on April 17 warming up to ride hundreds of miles.
I rode along with one of the teams and talked to the cyclists on the Colavita Olive Oil and Sutter Home Team about the challenges ahead of them.
We rode about ten miles around Augusta...and that was a pretty tough half hour.
These teams have a six day race ahead of them...and we found out what it takes to make it to the finish line.
"Part of cycling is suffering," says racing veteran Todd Herriott.
Steep hills, heat, and hundreds of miles...Herriott loves the challenge.
"It's not hard all the time...but when it's hard, it's really hard," he says.
The Tour de Georgia is one of the hard ones, according to team leader and champion Mark McCormack.
"The saving grace is we're all doing it together," McCormack says.
They've been together for years, a brotherhood that will help McCormack take on more than 600 miles in the next few days. They're dealing with the late April heat...and another challenge unique to the tour.
"I had some difficulty with allergies," McCormack says.
"Last year I had some bad allergies," Herriott agrees.
The spring pollen count is usually high in our area. This year is no exception, but Todd Herriott says there are no excuses once it starts.
"You have to ignore it cause you gotta do what you gotta do. If the race is up the road, it doesn't really matter," he says.
Herriott got us ready for today's practice and explained how to use the racing bike's 20 gears. Then it was off.
The ten miles were challenging for us.
But it was just a warm-up for Tyler Wren. "It was fun...just a short little ride," he says.
Using the extra gears on that professional bike was difficult. The cyclists were going slower than usual, and even then keeping up was a challenge.
Wren filled us in on the team's plans for the day: "We're just gonna try to relax."
By "relax", he meant a 20-mile ride through the city.
The cyclists' challenge is fighting about 200 riders for the win, through days of rain, heat, and steep north Georgia hills.
Here's what you need to know about Tuesday's local route.
The first leg starts at 11:30 Tuesday morning at Broad and 11th Street. They'll circle downtown three times before heading up Walton Way to Highland Avenue, then to Wrightsboro Road and out of town.
It all ends in Alpharetta around 6:00 Sunday evening.

The creators of the CBS sitcom "How I Met Your Mother" have apologized after being accused of racism by writing what they call a "silly and unabashedly immature" homage to kung fu movies in the show.
During Monday's episode of the long-running series, Jason Segel's character, Marshall, travels to China to train with three masters in the art of slapping, according to WENN. The masters were played by co-stars Josh Radnor, Cobie Smulders and Alyson Hannigan, who were dressed in Asian-themed costumes.
The scenes angered a number of viewers, who took to Twitter with the hashtag #HowIMetYourRacism.
Show creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas apologized on Twitter.
In a series of posts, Bays wrote, "Hey guys, sorry this took so long. Craig and I want to say a few words about #HowIMetYourRacism ... With Monday's episode, we set out to make a silly and unabashedly immature homage to Kung Fu movies, a genre we've always loved ... But along the way we offended people. We're deeply sorry, and we're grateful to everyone who spoke up to make us aware of it ... We try to make a show that's universal, that anyone can watch and enjoy. We fell short of that this week, and feel terrible about it ... To everyone we offended, I hope we can regain your friendship, and end this series on a note of goodwill. Thanks."
Thomas wrote, "I second everything Carter just tweeted -- we love all #HIMYM ('How I Met Your Mother') fans and apologize that we caused offense."
The show ends its nine-season run March 31.

This was supposed to be a story about Gold Rush era cookery -- the hearty stews and clever campfire dishes concocted by rugged 49ers after a long day of panning in Columbia, Jackson or at Sutter's Mill. Then we found the recipes.
And while we are, from an academic perspective, wildly interested in dried hardtack, ersatz coffee (made with peas when coffee bean supplies ran low) and roast bear ("take an 8-pound rump roast from a young bear"), we do not actually want to eat that. As historian Ann Chandonnet explains in "Gold Rush Grub: From Turpentine Stew to Hoochinoo" (University of Alaska Press), those Gold Rush tent settlements were a mainly male domain, in an age when few of those men had ever wielded a fry pan, supplies were erratic and anyone who struck it rich immediately eschewed the hardtack for oysters. San Francisco's oyster beds were depleted by 1851, thanks to dishes such as the Hangtown Fry.
Chandonnet quotes failed prospector Prentice Mulford, who divides California cooking into four waves, including the "heavy bread era" which brought "a daily attack of leaden flour and doubtful pork." There was also the canned oyster era, the dried apple epoch, and the age of pork, beans and flapjacks.
It's no wonder that Isidore Boudin's bakery was such a hit back in 1849, when he blended the mining camp's wild yeast-fed sourdough with his family's French baking prowess. Boudin, by the way, still uses that original "mother dough" starter, but you'll have to enjoy the bread at one of its Bay Area cafes. They do not share the recipe.
But biscuits -- large, small and mostly rocklike, Chandonnet says -- were prevalent in every camp, as were variations on the chili theme. So we turned to a more reliable recipe source than those camp cooks of yore: New York's Lucinda Scala Quinn, who includes recipes for Butterfield Stageline Chili and Cheddar Drop Biscuits in her new cookbook, "Mad Hungry Cravings" (Artisan, $27.95, 306 pages).
The chili, she says, "comes from an old-time formula reputed to have fed stagecoach customers at way stations along the Butterfield line, which ran from St. Louis down through the Southwest and on to California." If you were a denizen of San Francisco, San Jose or Gilroy back in the 1850s, waiting for mail from Tucson, Arizona; El Paso, Texas; or Fort Smith, Arkansas, it was the Butterfield Overland Mail that was carrying those precious letters. Drink a toast to those daring stage drivers as you dunk a biscuit in this spicy, flavorful ground pork and beef brisket chili.

Children's Health
Child Poisonings From Eye Drops, Nose Sprays
Oct. 25, 2012 -- Over-the-counter eyedrops and nose sprays contain powerful drugs that are poisonous in surprisingly small amounts if swallowed, the FDA warns.
Unwary parents often leave these products within easy reach of curious children. From 1997 through 2009, eyedrops injured more than 4,500 children under the age of 5 and nasal sprays injured more than 1,100, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
Injury reports show that children can easily open the products, which do not come in child-resistant packages.
The drugs are surprisingly powerful. Swallowing less than a fifth of a teaspoon can seriously harm a child, the FDA says.
The eyedrops in question soothe redness by causing blood vessels in the eye to constrict. Visine is a popular brand; there are many generic versions. Nose drops work in a similar way, tightening blood vessels in the nose. Afrin, Dristan, and Mucinex are popular brands, and there are many generic versions.
The products contain the active ingredients tetrahydrozoline, naphazoline, or oxymetazoline.
All three drugs are in the class of drugs called imidazolines. When placed in the eye or nose as directed, the drugs only affect that part of the body. But if swallowed, they quickly have effects throughout the body.
"Generally, symptoms can occur in as little as one hour, peaking at eight hours, and resolving after 12-36 hours," a CPSC briefing paper notes. "Even though the symptoms resolve in a relatively short amount of time, ingestion of imidazolines can result in severe life-threatening consequences, such as decreased breathing, decreased heart rate, and loss of consciousness that require hospitalization to ensure recovery."
The CPSC has proposed a new rule requiring child-resistant packaging for these products. That rule has yet to be finalized. Even when it's final, the rule will give manufacturers at least a year to comply. Meanwhile, many homes have at least one of the products in medicine cabinets.
To avoid accidental poisonings, the FDA says parents and caregivers should:
- Store medicines in a safe location that is too high for young children to reach or see.
- Never leave medicines or vitamins out on a kitchen counter or a child's bedside.
- If a medicine bottle has a safety cap, relock it each time you use it.
- Remind babysitters, houseguests, and visitors to keep purses, bags, or coats that have medicines in them away and out of sight when they are in your home.
- Avoid taking medicines in front of young children because they like to mimic adults.

Rebecca Caudill Young Readers' Book Award (Illinois)
About the Book
In this fast-paced adventure story set in the Canadian arctic, fifteen-year-old Inuit hunter Nick Thrasher comes face-to-face with a fearsome creature on a routine caribou hunt gone wrong. Part grizzly, part polar bear, this environmental mutant has been pegged the "grolar bear" by wildlife experts. Nick may have escaped this time, but it won't be his last encounter.
Then Nick's estranged half-brother, Ryan, offers to take him on a rafting trip down a remote part of the Firth River. But when disaster strikes, the two narrowly evade death. They're left stranded without supplies—and then the grolar bear appears. Will Hobbs brings his singular style to this suspenseful story about two brothers fighting for survival against the unpredictable—and sometimes deadly—whims of nature.
When the motto of your village is "never say die," you have a lot to live up to. . . .
At home in Canada's Arctic, Nick Thrasher is an accomplished Inuit hunter at fifteen. About to bring home a caribou for his ailing grandfather, Nick loses the meat to a fearsome creature never before seen in the wild. It's half grizzly, half polar bear. Experts will soon be calling it a "grolar bear."
Returning to his village, Nick receives a letter from the half brother he's never met. A former Grand Canyon river guide, Ryan Powers is now a famous wildlife photographer. He'll soon be coming to Nick's part of the world to raft the remote Firth River in search of huge herds of migrating caribou. Ryan also wants to learn what Inuit hunters are saying about climate change in the Arctic. He invites Nick to come along and help him find the caribou.
Barely down the river, disaster strikes. Nick and Ryan are both thrown into the freezing river and find themselves under a ceiling of solid ice. With nothing but the clothes on his back and the knife on his hip, Nick is up against it in a world of wolves, caribou, and grizzlies. All the while, the monstrous grolar bear stalks the land.

Knitter's Review
May 14, 2009
Polls can be curious things. I recently asked whether you preferred to knit your socks from the top down or from the toe up, and only 12 percent of you voted for the toe-up option.
Yet, since its release, Wendy Johnson's book Socks from the Toe Up has knocked Cookie A's top-down sock book off its Amazon pedestal. We check out Wendy's book to see what sparked the battle for sock supremacy.

Browsing made beautiful. And smart.
Before Safari, browsers were an afterthought. Something you put up with if you wanted to surf the internet. One browser looked and felt just like another, so you chose the one that worked the best and crashed the least. They were ugly, cluttered affairs, whose interfaces competed for your attention and made browsing â" the very purpose for which they were created â" more difficult. Safari changes all that.
Safari is designed to emphasize the browsing, not the browser. The browser frame is a single pixel wide. You see a scroll bar only when needed. By default, thereâs no status bar. Instead, a progress gear turns as your page loads. And if you so choose, you can hide almost the entire interface, removing virtually every distraction from the browser window. A great browser should get out of your way and let you simply enjoy the web. Safari does just that. And it does it regardless of platform.
The first browser to deliver the ârealâ internet to a mobile device, Safari renders pages on iPhone and iPod touch just as you see them on your computer. But this is more than just a scaled down mobile-version of the original. It takes advantage of the technologies built into these multi-touch devices. The page shifts and reformats to fill the window when you turn it on its side. You zoom in just by pinching and extending your fingers. Of course, no matter how you access it, Safari is always blazing fast and easy-to-use.

55 Opinions
best, lightweight, elegant browser and pleasure to use!
People complain that Safari doesn't have this and that, like FF...
Most of the stuff is really unnecessary, and useless.
That's why FF is as heavy and over bloated, like IE.
Today there is no difference between FF and IE, both heavy, and loaded with garbage.
Opera is the only windowz browser which can be compared in some ways to Safari - it's light and also pleasure to use. I used it on Windowz for 5 years and loved it.
Now I in no way going to put anything Windowz related on my iMac, except Skype.
Safari is no doubt the most enjoyable and fastest browser.
So, I tried using Safari again and it is still lacking in so many areas. To start with, most of the functionality one has come to expect over the years from Firefox is lacking in Safari. You can regain some of it if you want to spend $20, $30, $50 or more in multiple third party applications. Or you can get the same functionality (usually done better) with free extensions in Firefox.
There doesn't seem to be any delicious plugin that integrates with the browser the way that the official Yahoo! delicious extension in Firefox does. Getting adblock plus to work with it isn't that hard, but it does a poor job compared to the Firefox version. For example, a banner area that would be entirely removed on Firefox shows up as a big empty space in Safari. Rather than reclaiming the space, Safari just blanked out the content that was inside.
The only thing Safari offers over Thunderbird is a webclip ability to let you display content from a web page in the OSX Dashboard.
I really would love to use the default mail and browser clients that Apple offers, but both are unfortunately so lacking in functionality -- even after spending a lot of money on third party applications to round-out the default applications -- that they really aren't sufficient for any purpose other than use by the most basic, non-demanding user.
Why is this listing still being updated now that Safari 3 is out of beta?
Sorry, scratch that last comment. I had a plugin screwing things up.
Safari, you've finally come of age.
I was a hardcore Camino user for the past couple of years because the version of Safari/WebKit that shipped with Tiger really sucked. But the page rendering and compatibility in Safari 3.0.x has improved by leaps and bounds, and the way you can drag tabs to reorder them or even drag them between windows is really nice. It sometimes stops interpreting my middle-clicks as "open link in new tab", but other than that it's pretty good. I haven't noticed any serious memory leaks so far.
Camino's going to have to play catch-up now. I still keep it on reserve for complicated Ajax sites like Google pages, but Safari has reclaimed its place as my primary browser.
I've been using it since it came out and it's been running great. Love the new features too! :)
Noticeably faster than "standard" 2.0.4 version, however it also breaks too many widgets to be useful .
To uninstall: the .dmg file you downloaded to install safari3beta also contains a safari3uninstaller.pkg
Just run that to revert back to the stable 2.0.4 release you had before.
With 11 widgets and the Debug menu on (turned on with Safari Enhancer 3.3.1) I haven't had any problems in 5-6 hours of use on 3 different macs.

Getting Started with DPNs in Four Easy Steps
Go to the DPN Overview
Go to the DPN Buyer's Guide
If possible, cast all your stitches onto one needle. You can put a tip protector or rubber band on the non-working end of the needle to keep stitches from falling off.
The reason for this is simple: You want your cast-on stitches to be as consistent in gauge and appearance as possible. Casting on multiple needles introduces the risk of slipped, twisted, or loose stitches at each needle join.
Depending on which technique you use, you'll want to divide your stitches evenly onto either three or four needles. The most common technique is to work on three needles and use the fourth needle for knitting, so that's the technique I'll describe here.
The easiest way to divide your stitches is to lay the needles flat on a table. You can fix any twists and then easily slide stitches onto the DPNs without much additional jostling.
Lay the work so that the left-most needle has your first cast-on stitches and the right-most needle has the working yarn.
At this point you should have all your stitches evenly divided on the needles. They should be arranged in one long row on a flat surface, with the working yarn and final cast-on stitches on the right-most needle.
Give the stitches one final check to make sure they all face the same direction and haven't twisted—something cast-on stitches love to do.
Now take the left needle in your left hand and the right needle in your right hand. Bring these two needles together, with the middle needle forming a triangle.
Step 4: Begin Knitting in the Round
With the triangle still in place (the working yarn should be on your right), take a new, empty needle and begin knitting the stitches on the left needle. In doing so, you've joined the work and are now knitting in the round.
Congratulations, you did it!
Extra Tip: Beware of Ladders
As mentioned in the DPN Overview, you'll need to knit the first and last stitches of each needle more tightly than the rest. This is because stitches have a tendency to loosen at the spot where two DPNs join, which can cause long "ladders" of loose stitches.
You can also randomly move the end stitches from one needle to the other so that there's no clear join ridge. The only drawback here is that it can throw off your stitch count if you aren't careful.
If at First You Don't Succeed...
Your knitting may feel loose and precarious for the first few rounds, but don't fret. Once you get going, these stitches will stay put and you can begin to gather speed.
This whole cast-on process gets significantly easier with time, so if you have problems at first, don't give up. You'll be glad you stuck with it.

Previous Reader Comments
"I like bamboo circulars for their comfort but I prefer the type with a plastic cable that's joined directly to the needles (like Clover or Plymouth). I found that the metal gussets on these Crystal Palace needles tend to catch on the yarn and snag it." mspizziri, 7/29/2002
"Another way to join the beginning round when making socks. Pass the first stich on needle one over the last stitch on needle three. This twisted stitch doesn't show and really tightens up the joining." knittenkitten, 11/26/2001
"I hate it when one sock is finished, I still have a whole sock to go until I thought, why not knit both socks at the same time and finish one Pair instead of just one sock. Knit back and forth on one and then the other.Soon a pair of socks is finished." woolspinner, 10/6/2001
"Wow... I've been very intimidated by DPNs, and have yet to find any instructions clear enough to explain the process, until now! Thank you so much for this tutorial! I can't wait to try them!! Happy knitting to all!" wrenjen, 7/12/01
"Thank you for this article. I love socks and I have started one pair but got discouraged in trying to handle the 3 needles. I now have a better understanding of how to go about it again. I just bought a sock knitting machine from ebay, but it is still in the box. I want to knit them myself! The machine will have to wait for a while. Thanks again." Ruth, 7/8/01
"I use to slide stitches too. However, I found that if I worked the first stitch and THEN moved my working needle up and over, moving it closely and parallel to the last needle, my work was evenly knitted. I am going to start adding that extra stitch. Thanks for sharing." slipstitch67, 5/01/01
"I think your instructions were perfect. I just learnet how to knit on four needles and that is the exact way the I do it and I have found it very easy. Coming from someone who is 65 and always afraid to do it as I thought it was too hard for me. Never to old to learn I guess." Elaine, 4/27/01
Great minds think alike! Thanks to both Pat and Laura for submitting this excellent tip. -Clara
"I have a small tip to add that I find very useful at least for me. I add one (1) extra stitch and when I join together in the round I knit the last stitch together with the first stitch making a tighter join with no additional stitch." Pat, 4/27/01
"When casting onto DPNs, I cast on an extra stitch. When I go to start my first row, I slide the last cast on stitch onto the left hand needle. I then knit two stitches together, thereby avoiding the loop that is caused by the join." Laura, 4/27/01
"I use all five of my dp needles. There are always four with stitches. The fifth I'm knitting with. This makes a square sock instead of a triangle. Somehow it seems easier to handle. Also the idea of migrating a few stitches works great when knitting socks with two strands of yarn in each row. I knit several stitches from the needle in my left hand before starting to knit on the new, empty needle. When I learned this I could stop using those incomfortable little circulars, and wow! no more ladders." hoffish, 4/27/01

Coming together: Fredericksburg, 1862
The killing went on throughout the day without mercy or compassion, pity or remorse. The field below the stone wall was the scene of one of the bloodiest days in four years of war.
But there were moments, in the days and weeks before and after the battle, when the opposing armies, Rebel and Yankee, Confederate and Union, came together in a kind of peace, even friendship.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|<< Case for the Defendants
|< Introduction
Irving's response
5.26In the course of his own evidence and his cross-examination of Evans Irving made a number of claims about his treatment of Hofmann's evidence. He repudiated the suggestion that he had deliberately provided a footnote for Hofmann's evidence which would make it difficult for anyone so minded to track it down. By way of explanation, he explained that his publisher had called for cuts to be made in the text, so he had abbreviated the footnotes with the result that they are not as helpful as they might otherwise have been.
5.27Irving initially excused his version of events by saying that what he wrote was based on the microfiches of Hofmann's testimony rather than the verbatim transcript of the evidence given at the trial. But Evans pointed out that the contents of both were the same. Irving next claimed that he had no way of knowing that Hofmann was a longstanding member of the Nazi party and so likely to present Hitler in a favourable light. Evans responded that this would have been apparent on the face of Hofmann's testimony, which Irving read on microfiches and which recounted his close relationship with Hitler and his involvement in the putsch. Moreover the Judge is recorded on the transcript as having congratulated Hofmann for speaking out on behalf of his Fuhrer. Irving responded that he had not had the transcript of Hofmann's evidence when he wrote Goering or, if he had, he had not read that section of the testimony which related to Hofmann's membership of the Nazi party. When it was the pointed out to Irving that, in the course of his own cross-examination, he had said that he had read the whole transcript of Hofmann's evidence (which was only five pages long), Irving explained that, whilst it was true that he had read Hofmann's evidence, he had not "paid attention" to what he had said about his background. He added that readers of Hitler's War and Goering would be able to work out for themselves that Hofmann was not an objective witness without that fact being spelled out.
5.28Irving accepted that there is no evidence that Goering "goggled" when Hitler disciplined the former lieutenant but regards that as permissible "author's licence". Irving defended his description of the robbery of the bank as "requisitioning" the bank's funds by saying that the robbery was an obvious prank: he was seeking to write with a "light touch".

Applause hosts benefit
for BMF at Ski Cooper
By Mariana Wenzel
Summit Daily News
Short or non-existent lift lines, wide ski runs and natural snow. What seems like a dream for today's skiers is one of the attractions of the "Applause Alpine Extravaganza," a benefit event for the Breckenridge Music Festival (BMF) slated for Tuesday at Ski Cooper.
The area is one of the few local resorts that keeps skiing the way it used to be before it became a popular winter activity. It is also full of history, as it was chosen in 1942 as a ski-training site by the 10th Mountain Division for World War II because of its high elevation at 11,700 feet and annual average snowfall of 250 inches.
On Tuesday morning, guests ski the resort's 400 acres of lift-serviced runs and then warm up in the lodge, where lunch will be served. The benefit concludes with a video presentation of "The Last Ridge," which tells the story of the 10th Mountain Division and its role in the United States' war effort in Europe during World War II. The showing will be followed by a question-and-answer session with members of the division, Paul Stubbe and John Gordon. Gordon has been a ski instructor at Ski Cooper for many years.
"The tie-in with the 10th Mountain Division is perfect for us because many of those guys maintained ties to Summit County through the years. They are part of our heritage, and so many of them returned here to ski no matter where they ended up," said Marcia Kaufmann, executive director of the BMF.
The event is open to all levels of skiers. It is one of several in a winter series hosted by Applause, the special events fundraising committee for BMF, to support the nonprofit. This is the first time the group goes to Ski Cooper.
"Skiing at Ski Cooper is most unique, as it takes one back to the days of skiing in the past, with no lift lines, no manmade snow, an old but comfortable lodge and no glitz," said Applause spokeswoman Sherrie Calderini. "The runs are long and wide, and the terrain is mostly blue cruisers."
"Ski Cooper is one of the few places around here you can get that old-time, old-fashioned ski experience, the way skiing started out," Kaufmann agreed. "It is the way you skied if you were hip to skiing in the '50s and '60s, before everyone else in this country had discovered it."
"The folks who attend these events send me emails saying what a great time they had, and how much they enjoyed the company. You meet great people, and this event is the perfect combination of outdoor enjoyment, interesting information and good company," Kaufmann said.
Tickets are $55 for Applause members and $60 for non-members and include the lift pass. Participants meet in the parking lot at Ski Cooper at 9 a.m.

BRECKENRIDGE - On Tuesdays at 6 a.m. the Ark Sharks, a local whitewater rafting team, can be found at the Breckenridge Recreation Center, paddling a raft tethered to the waterslide.
They know they have to get up pretty early in the morning if they want to beat the Vail raft team, their closest and fiercest competition.
"The team that we've got to beat is a top 5, top 10 team in the world, so we've got a huge challenge," said John Anicito, who works as a raft guide in the summer. "We practice all winter."
Vail has been the team to beat in recent years, taking the national competitions and winning the right to represent the U.S. at the World Rafting Championships the last several years running. This year, the Ark Sharks are out to steal the title and the slot at the international competition.
But the competition has both skill and experience. The Vail team has been competing together since the 1990s and is better known in the fledgling sport.
"When you look at those teams they've got more respect, they've been racing longer," said Austen Dyer, who has been on the team roughly 18 months. "What we have to do to catch up is we have to train harder, we have to work harder. Our whole goal is that we're part of a team that hopefully could win."
If the Summit team wins the national six-man men's competition in June it'll advance to the World Championships in New Zealand in August. If not, the team plans to move on to compete in Brazil as a four-man team.
"We're making that step to the international level," Anicito said. "That's been a goal of ours, to travel and see some great rivers around the country and around the world."
The all men's team practices with eight people on the roster, all of whom can paddle upwards of 75 strokes a minute for 40 minutes or more. Most of the competitive races are 3-minute sprints, but the team has to be prepared for a 7-10 mile downriver event.
"It's painful fun we call it," said Kurt Myers, who guides with Performance Tours.
The Ark Sharks compete locally and regionally throughout the summer months, but hasn't yet had a big win against the Vail team.
"We've been chasing this team for the last three years," Anticio said. "And we're gaining on them. We've had a couple good wins but not against the U.S. Team."
Five of the Summit team members have been competing together for several years. Most are transplants whose love of rafting brought them to Summit County. They met at a local gym or while rafting together on the Arkansas River, which inspired the team name.
Collectively, the team has more than 60 years of rafting experience, but this will be their first year competing together at the national level.
"Nationals (is) pretty well sponsored and organized, it's just a bigger event," said Myers, who has competed at the national level before. "I've been to races where it's not really serious, people are there to have fun and party. And I've been to races where it's full-on sponsored, well organized and those are really exciting. You race against better teams."
To be successful at that level of competition, practice and training are critical to build strength and coordination. During practice at the Breck rec center, the team uses the resistance of a bungee cord to train physically in the absence of rapids, while working to hone its ability to paddle together.
"In a race, you're working as a unit," Dyer said. "You have to be in sync to make things happen."

Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series IEEE 802.11a/b/g access points deliver the versatility, high capacity, security, and enterprise-class features demanded by WLAN customers. It is designed specifically for challenging RF environments like factories, warehouses, and large retail establishments that require the antenna versatility associated with connectorized antennas, a rugged metal enclosure, and a broad operating temperature range. The Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series provides local as well as inline power, including support for IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE).
The Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series is a component of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, a comprehensive solution that delivers an integrated, end-to-end wired and wireless network. Using the radio and network management features of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network for simplified deployment, the Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series extends the security, scalability, reliability, ease of deployment, and manageability available in wired networks to the wireless LAN.
The Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series offers link role flexibility providing both access point and bridge function on the same platform. Link role flexibility allows the radios to be individually configured as an access point, repeater, root bridge, non-root bridge, or workgroup bridge, enabling a broad array of applications.
The Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series is available as an autonomous access point or available supporting the Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP). When configured with LWAPP, the Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series can automatically detect the best-available Cisco wireless LAN controller and download appropriate policies and configuration information with no hands-on intervention.
With simultaneous support of 802.11a and 802.11g standards, the Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series delivers up to a 108-Mbps data rate in the 5-GHz and 2.4-GHz bands. The series currently supports 12 non-overlapping channels (FCC; other regulatory domains support different numbers of 802.11a channels) with potentially up to 23 channels via a future firmware release depending on FCC rules. Other regulatory domains may support a different number of channels, simplifying deployments for high-capacity wireless networks. For investment protection, the Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series fully supports the capabilities of today's dual-band WLAN clients while providing backward compatibility with legacy 802.11b clients.
The Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series adheres to the most stringent security standards in the industry. The 1240AG Series is on the FIPS 140-2 Pre-Validation List. FIPS 140-2 is administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which dictates and validates the level of security for Federal agencies that use cryptographic-based security systems to protect sensitive electronic information. In addition it meets the Common Criteria standards.
The Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series is part of the award-winning Cisco Wireless Security Suite, which supports 802.11i, Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), WPA, and numerous Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) types. WPA and WPA2 are the Wi-Fi Alliance certifications for interoperable, standards-based WLAN security. These certifications support IEEE 802.1X for user-based authentication, Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for WPA encryption, and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for WPA2 encryption. These certifications help to ensure interoperability between Wi-Fi-certified WLAN devices from different manufacturers.
The Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series hardware-accelerated AES encryption supports enterprise-class, government-grade secure encryption over the WLAN without compromising performance. IEEE 802.1X authentication helps to ensure that only authorized users are allowed on the network. Backward compatibility and support for WPA client devices running TKIP, the RC4 encryption algorithm is also supported by the Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series.
