New, 4:05 p.m.
For the third time since his arrest last September, "former unofficial not-spokesman for Anonymous" Barrett Brown has been indicted by a federal grand jury — this time, on two counts of obstruction of justice by concealing evidence.
Jay Leiderman, Brown's once and future (?) attorney, says that by his calculations Brown is now facing 100 years. "His crimes? Allegedly making YouTube videos, sharing a link and, now, hiding a laptop computer," writes the attorney via email. In a follow-up phone interview, he says he's "a little stunned" by the latest development.
Brown was initially arrested and indicted for making an online threat, retaliating against a federal officer and conspiring to release the personal information of a U.S. government employee. Then, in December, the feds piled on a dozen more charges, including identity theft and "access device fraud" following a Christmas Day 2011 hack of Stratfor Global Intelligence Service.
This latest round of indictments dates back to an FBI raid on Brown's Dallas apartment back on March 6, 2012, when the feds allege that Brown "did knowingly conceal" two laptops "with the intent to impede, obstruct and influence the investigation" related to search warrants issued the day before. The indictments claim he was "aided and abetted by KM," which Wired reports is believed to be his mother — based on Brown's own account of the incident. Brown has said the feds were looking for records dealing with Anonymous's 2011 hack of HBGary.
Brown's been in federal custody for months, and as Unfair Park noted this morning he's awaiting a Wednesday hearing to see whether he's competent to stand trial. Brown, meanwhile, is still being represented by Assistant Federal Public Defender Doug Morris, for whom messages have been left. Leiderman says his firm's still trying to find Brown another local attorney, but that it hasn't been easy.
As for this latest round of indictments, says Leiderman, "You'd think he killed someone. You'd think this was a mass murder spree. I just can't wrap my head around what they're doing, especially so soon after they got such a black eye over the Aaron Swartz indictment," referring to the Department of Justice's pursuit of the 26-year-old Reddit co-founder who committed suicide earlier this month.
"This is so incongruous with what we had sort of expected what Justice would be doing," says the attorney. "On what basis was it that they didn't file these back in September, when he was arrested? Either you're going to do it or not, and if you're not what's up with this piecemeal indictment. This seems designed to coerce a plea, to send a message. It's designed to rub his face in the dirt. That's how I see it."

Energy Department Reports Highlight Strength of U.S. Wind Energy Industry
The United States continues to be a global leader in wind energy, ranking second in installed capacity in the world, according to two reports released on August 18 by the Energy Department and two of its national laboratories.
After modest growth in 2013, total installed wind power capacity in the United States now stands at 61 gigawatts, which meets nearly 4.5% of electricity demand in an average year, according to the 2013 Wind Technologies Market Report, released by the Energy Department and its Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The report also finds that wind energy prices are at an all-time low, with utilities selecting wind as a cost-saving option. The success of the U.S. wind industry has had a ripple effect on the U.S. economy, spurring more than $500 million in exports and supporting jobs related to development, siting, manufacturing, transportation, and other industries. See the 2013 Wind Technologies Market Report .
In total, U.S. turbines in distributed applications, which accounted for more than 80% of all wind turbines installed in the United States last year, reached a cumulative installed capacity of more than 842 megawatts (MW)—enough to power 120,000 average U.S. homes—according to the 2013 Distributed Wind Market Report, released by the Energy Department and its Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. This capacity is supplied by roughly 72,000 turbines across all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In fact, a total of 14 states, including California, Iowa, and Nevada now each have more than 10 MW of distributed wind capacity. See the 2013 Distributed Wind Market Report and the Energy Department news release. Also, go to the Wind 3013 webpage for full coverage of the reports, including photos, video, interactive graphics, and more.

I saw this maybe a year ago on tcm, it is very good but John Garfield and Ann Sheridan are better in Castle on the Hudson. To compare both moovies you ought to show them together sometime like you do other films.
Bette Davis and Spencer Tracy
- DrMD
- 6/8/09
Didn't know that Spencer Tracy and Bette Davis were in this film together, eh? Heck, they're even lovers. Tracy's a very bad boy (Tommy Connors), who's already in loads of legal trouble. Fay Wilson's (Bette Davis) his girlfriend. Bette Davis is already really the spitfire who makes that her legendary trademark (mainly). So it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone when she gets very angry with a guy who lands her laid up in the hospital after a car crash. Angry enough to kill him. Connors (Tracy) loves Fay so much that he takes the fall for the guy's murder. Fay tries to confess to it but no one believes her. Connors pays the consequences. But, so does Fay. This 1932 film should be programmed on TCM as historical to both Tracy's and Davis' early acting careers.

When it comes to cost and quality, Suave is one of my favorite beauty bargain brands for haircare. One of my all-time favorite Suave products is the Keratin Infusion Dry Shampoo (see my full review here). Launched in early 2012, the Suave Keratin Infusion line is
"formulated with unique Keralock™ Technology," which "condition hair and make it easier to style. Suave Professionals® Keratin Infusion™ is proven to work as well as top salon brands!"
For this post I decided to test drive the Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion Smooth & Shine Serum ($2.87-$3.49 for a 2 oz bottle). Here's what Suave has to say about the serum:
Adds shine and fights humidity to prevent frizz.
- Salon proven to restore shine as well as Kérastase®
- Weightless formula enriched with Keralock™ Technology coats hair to fight humidity, which causes frizz
- Formula infused with Keralock™ Technology and helps keeps hair smooth and manageable
Designed for frizzy and unmanageable hair, I wasn't sure if this serum would be too heavy for my (relatively) normal hair. But since I have highlighted hair, I often use serums as a part of my routine to add shine and improve the appearance of the ends. Fortunately, the serum is not at all too heavy! The directions say to "disperse 2-3 pumps into palms" – I started with just two pumps to play it safe, but ended up using 3, which was perfect for my shoulder length hair. Note: I didn't try the serum on dry hair, but just because of personal preference.
With a pleasant scent and silky texture, the serum is very easy to work through damp hair. Using a large round brush I was able to achieve a voluminous, but smooth and healthy looking blowout. Fast forward to day two, and my blowout held up nicely! Only one place – a small section near the ends – ended up losing some of the smooth and shiny appearance. I'm not sure if this was due to user error or otherwise, but a quick touch-up with a round brush and blowdryer smoothed things out (no pun intended).
Overall, the Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion Smooth & Shine Serum lives up to its name. And at under $3.50 for a 2 oz bottle, this beauty bargain is definitely worth trying.
Suave Professionals® Keratin Infusion™ products are available at select drugstores, mass merchandisers and supermarkets nationwide.

We want to run our business on a set of specific moral principles...
1. Using Freedom Respecting and Open Source software. We think that you should have the right to:
- Choose and change how your computer does its computing.
- Let others change how your computer does its computing.
- Share your changes so that other people can benefit from them.
- See exactly how our software works. We won't ask you to trust us blindly, you can read our source code and see for yourself!
"I see software patents as a very sad anomaly, especially the way they are being used in this day and age. I'm not saying that I disagree with patents entirely, or that I won't ever use them. I'm saying that I wish the whole situation was different... More focused on really encouraging innovation instead of stifling it in the name of profit. I think that patents can be a useful tool, however they should not be allowed to exist for 20 years. That's not in the best interest of innovation, that's in the best interest of maximum profit for corporations. I also find it rather disturbing that our legal system allows one person to sue another person simply for acting on some thoughts that they genuinely had on their own, wrote down in code, and implemented."
- Rylan Grayston - Inventor of the Peachy Printer
Below are screenshots of posts that Rylan has made on the internet.
2. Being outspoken and informative about the political ramifications of 3D printing technology.
3D printing is one of three technological answers to the magic wand... If you wave your mouse around just right, real things come out of a box on your desk. It's easy to see this as a political issue. Simply ask yourself, would a suppressive government pass out magic wands to its people? If you think the answer is a simple no, you're gravely mistaken.
We need to be vigilant especially when it comes to the software that runs our printers. What's far more dangerous than 3D printing a gun? Software
that reports it to the government (or any central place) every time you do so! It's important that we inform people of their right to privacy, for a society that doesn't is in grave danger!
Here are some examples of situations that can be avoided by using freedom respecting software and keeping your data private:
- Someone prints an object that looks like drug paraphernalia, the authorities are alerted carry out a drug raid on their home.
- Someone in Russia prints an object that resembles a sex toy and is accused of being a homosexual.
- Someone prints a bunch of flags for their war figurines and is accused of being associated with a terrorist group.
You wouldn't allow any entity to put a camera in your work shop so they could keep track of everything you make, right? We deserve to have the same privacy when 3D printing in our homes.
"Technology has immense effects on "free societies". I feel that in the same way the paper printer, the personal computer, and the internet have brought liberty to people that were once drowned out by the printing press and TV, so can 3D printing liberate our material lives from the mass production assembly lines. Many debate the validity of such an idea, I say it is as valid as we are creative."
- Rylan Grayston
3. Informing customers of safe practices when using our product and providing proper safety equipment. To accomplish this we plan to:
- Ship laser safety glasses with every printer.
- Ship gloves with each resin package.
- Recommend ventilation requirements.
- Write very informative labels.
- Provide material data sheets.
- Provide best practice instructions.

Ajay and Fardeen on 10 Ka Dum grand finale
"Ajay and Fardeen had lots of fun on the sets of DKD with Salman. As well all know Ajay is a big prankster and thus he revealed some secrets to our host while making the film All The Best," chirps the source from the sets.
Fradeen too bonded well with Salman. "They had a gala time and lots of fun while playing the game. Ajay was in fun mood and cracked few jokes too while Fardeen gave him support," adds the source.
"Salman, Fardeen and Ajay gigged on the melodious number of the film and left no stone unturned to promote it in huge manner," concludes the source. So catch all the fun with Salman Khan as he bids adieu to the second season of Dus Ka Dum this weekend.

Foul play was not suspected because there was no sign of trauma!
For the 11th time in the past four years, a human foot in a sport shoe was found on a Pacific Northwest shoreline.Foot No. 11 was found Tuesday near a marina in an inlet called False Creek, police in Vancouver, British Columbia, said. Foul play was not suspected because there was no sign of trauma, coroner Stephen Fonseca said in a report from CNN affiliate CBC.
"These human remains did not show any evidence of trauma whatsoever," CBC quoted Fonseca as saying.
DNA samples from foot No. 11 will be compared to DNA obtained from family members in missing persons cases to try to establish an identity, he said.
So who do the feet belong to and how did they meet their demise?
One foot, found in August 2007 on Jedediah Island, British Columbia, was identified as coming from a deceased man whose family did not want further details released, according to a report in the Vancouver Sun.
But the rest remain a mystery, according to a list in the Vancouver Sun.
Mark Mendelson, a Toronto forensics consultant and former police detective, said on the [url=http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/Canada/20110901/vancouver-human-foot-autopsy-110901/]TV program "Canada AM"[/url] on Thursday that he's not buying that anything nefarious is, well, afoot.
"You have to think dirty," he said.
"I don't know if you can look at this as just a coincidence," he said, pointing out that he thinks there are too many questions that don't have logical answers.
"Why is it only happening on the west coast near Vancouver… why aren't these feet floating up off Nova Scotia or St. John's, Newfoundland, or off the coast of New Jersey," Mendelson asked.
And why only feet in running shoes?
Where are the rest of the body parts?
"Body parts do eventually make their way to the surface. So why are we only getting feet? Why are they in running shoes," he asked.
Simon Fraser University forensics researcher Gail Anderson offers answers in a report on the website vancouver.24hrs.ca.
"We have an awful lot of people missing in our waters, either from accidental cases or people who deliberately entered the water," the website quotes Anderson as saying. "We're talking four years and 11 feet. That's really not that many at all."
And if the shoe floats?
University of British Columbia materials engineering professor Anoush Poursartip tells vancouver.24hrs he has a theory on that.
"The polymers used in running shoes are chosen partially for their light weight. This means the shoe has significant buoyancy," he told the website.
So the shoes are dragging the feet to the surface but leaving the rest of the body in the depths?
"I'm not sure I buy the theory it's because the shoe floats," Mendelson said in the "Canada AM" interview.
But one thing is certain, Mendelson said.
"Something is very, very strange here."
Well no fucking shit Sherlock!

Mac Defeats Principia College
January 15, 2013
The MacMurray College Highlanders entered Tuesday's match up against Principia College currently standing at 2-4 in the conference. Principia College came in the contest dropping 7 straight with a 1-8 mark, and winless in the conference. The game was a defensive grudge match from start to finish. Both teams went with zone defense often, forcing turnovers and making it difficult to score. MacMurray held a slight edge going into the half. Late in the second half though they were able to pull away due to key offensive contributions from Gabrielle Douglas, Kelsey Anderson, and Amy Radford. With the win the team moves to 3-4 in the conference and 5-8 on the season. The Highlanders will meet conference opponent Spalding University in a home contest on Thursday January 17th at 6pm.

Crossroad for Two Legacies
It isn't all about the money.
James Dimon and Eric Holder are fighting for their legacies and the reputation of their institutions. When they met at the Justice Department on Thursday, the head of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and the U.S. attorney general weren't really focused on dollars and cents, even though billions could change hands.
Mr. Dimon is striving to put an end to the giant legal troubles engulfing his firm. The bank is prepared to pay a large sum to federal authorities, $11 billion or more at latest count, to settle a host of potential criminal and civil charges stemming from the financial crisis. But Mr. Dimon wants reassurances that the company will be shielded from a long tail of expensive lawsuits from regulators and private citizens.
Dethroned from his perch as King of Wall Street, Mr. Dimon nevertheless is trying to preserve his place in financial history. He wants to move away from the narrative that he had a brilliant financial crisis and a mediocre postcrisis: good earnings pockmarked by a large trading loss, intemperate outbursts and costly fights with regulators.
Mr. Holder had similar considerations on his mind. Critics have argued that the Justice Department has done very little to catch the bad guys from 2008. Mr. Holder's opponents haven't been assuaged by the argument that losing money on risky bets isn't a crime.
In J.P. Morgan, Mr. Holder has a perfect target: high-profile but cash-rich, beleaguered but willing to move on. He, too, has a chance to rewrite a narrative, to go from a prosecutor criticized for his inaction to the one who caught the big fish.
Messrs. Dimon and Holder have much in common, but that is no guarantee they will reach a good deal for either themselves, the financial system or the institutions they represent.
To get J.P. Morgan to the negotiating table, Mr. Holder had to use Justice's nuclear weapon: the threat of criminal charges. Knowing such indictments have in the past sounded the death knell for companies, J.P. Morgan started talking big numbers.
What happens next will create a precedent that will affect other banks. Many of the activities J.P. Morgan allegedly engaged in, such as misleading investors in mortgage securities, were common practice on Wall Street. If J.P. Morgan pays a huge fine and even admits some wrongdoing, it will raise the potential tab and stakes for many competitors.
And while that may satisfy those who demand "Old Testament justice," as Mr. Dimon calls it, such a sudden ramping up of regulatory pressure half a decade after the events will hamper a financial sector that has struggled since the crisis.
The amounts paid by large banks in fines already vastly outstrips what they have paid out in dividends—a fact that isn't lost on shareholders.
Conversely, if Justice hammers J.P. Morgan but is more lenient toward others, it will be open to charges of having carried out a witch-hunt.
For J.P. Morgan and Mr. Dimon, the issue is even more complex. If the Justice Department extracts an admission of wrongdoing, the bank could face private lawsuits for years to come—a costly and time-sapping distraction even for a bank that has been churning out record profits throughout the recent turmoil.
In a note last week, John McDonald, analyst at Bernstein Research, pointed to "the reputational damage that could impact both [the bank's] business prospects and stock valuation." His worst-case estimate of the bank's legal exposure is $31 billion, or around $10 billion more than the bank has set aside. That would be $31 billion J.P. Morgan won't have to use for lending, hiring and branches.
But even if Mr. Dimon manages to spare J.P. Morgan an admission of wrongdoing, his legacy will come under threat. His hold on the main job seems secure for now. But J.P. Morgan-watchers already are betting that Mr. Dimon will have to relinquish the chairman role, even though he won a resounding shareholder vote on the issue just last May.
Not long ago, Mr. Dimon and his lieutenants used to recite the words of John Pierpont Morgan: "first-class business in a first-class way." The regulatory onslaught that has hit the company, whether justified or not, has called into question that mantra.
Mr. Dimon is famous for always carrying two lists in his breast pocket: "What I owe people" and "What people owe me." Over the next few months, the former may be getting longer.

Trial Lawyer
Bell Curve
You barely graduate from law school and it takes you nine tries before you pass the Bar Exam. You start a practice out of your parents' basement. You print up loads of business cards and spend the bulk of your days chasing ambulances and tracking drunk drivers.
You graduate at the top of your law school class and manage to land one of the coveted big firm jobs in a big city. You make gobs of cash, but you spend the bulk of your 16-hour days sorting through other people's emails to determine if they are "important to the case."
You've been practicing at a firm for several years and have managed to climb the law firm ladder. You're promoted to partner, make even more scrilla, and now you get to call the shots. Other people spend 16 hours sorting through documents while you get to focus your time on bringing in business, communicating with clients, and arguing motions in court.
After years of practice and success, you've gained the reputation as the best trial lawyer in town. You no longer have to worry about bringing in business because the business comes to you. You get to pick your cases and as such, you have a lot more control over your rate of success as a trial lawyer. When other trial lawyers see you, they simultaneously bow at your feet and soil their pants.
The POTUS thinks you're super smart and awesome and you're plopped on the Supreme Court.

This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to Laine, the winner of the gift basket!
Photo by Paulin'a
Today's giveaway is the final gift basket before Christmas. And it's all about taking care of yourself – great timing, since you're probably a little wiped out from the holiday season. All of these products help enhance the little things in your life – and I love them all. One reader will win all of these products.
1. Skin MD Natural
Skin MD Natural is a shielding lotion with SPF 15 sunscreen, and I love it. To be honest, the first few days of using it, it felt like your basic lotion – good, but nothing amazing. But around day three, I noticed my skin was feeling softer and tighter. And it looked a bit clearer and brighter – I couldn't put my finger on it, but I looked healthier and more vibrant overall.
I love that a little bit goes a long way – you don't need much to cover your entire face, and it's very lightweight. It's actually good for the whole body. With the dry winter weather, I've used it on my hands and elbows, and they stay moist most of the day. I'm now completely hooked on my Skin MD lotion.
At $25 a bottle, it's not cheap. But it really does work well, and because a little goes a long way, it's not too unreasonably priced. It actually bonds with your skin's outer skin cells to form the shield, which keeps your natural oils in, and keeps the harsh environmental chemicals out.
The winner will receive two bottles of Skin MD Natural with SPF 15 lotion!
2. Naturally Handmade
Naturally Handmade is a shop owned by Angela, a stay-at-home mom of two little girls. Her oldest has a myriad of skin issues and allergies, so Angela has spent a lot of hours researching the best products for her daughter's skin. Her favorite product was Soap Nuts – in fact, she loves it so much, she now sells it in her store.
To wash a load of laundry, you simply put four Soap Nuts in their muslin bag, and toss it in with the load – any washer can handle Soap Nuts, including high-efficiency and front-loading washers. What's more, these four Soap Nuts can be used for four to five loads of laundry!
Soap Nuts are low-sudsing, fragrance-free, and perfect for sensitive skin. They are natural, hypo-allergenic, and chemical-free.
The winner will receive 100 grams of Soap Nuts, good for about 40 loads of laundry!
3. Heather Bailey
Heather Bailey is a designer and mom of two kids, and loves to create. Her blog and online store are pure eye candy, and everything she creates and photographs are inspiration. I can browse her stuff for hours, especially her fabric. Beautiful.
She is the inventor of Trash Ties, which are – well, hair thingies. They work like barrettes, bobby pins, and hair elastics to create an infinite amount of styles. I have shortish hair, so I was pleasantly surprised that even I can use them to do all sorts of things. And best of all, they stay – they really don't move at all.
They're really soft, washable, and durable, and they come in all sorts of colors and sizes. And they're based on the concept of the twisty tie, hence the name.
The winner will receive a set of Trash Ties!
4. Organically Happy
Organically Happy is a boutique selling eco-friendly beauty products that help you adopt an organic, chemical-free lifestyle without compromising quality. They sell products from all over the world that are good for you and the planet, including products made from pure, natural sources, along with fair trade accessories. There are no harmful chemicals in anything they sell.
One hot item is their Anti-Aging Day Facial Elixir from Eden's Kiss. It's made for normal to dry skin, and it contains natural ingredients like extra virgin olive oil, rose oil, German chamomile oil, and vitamin E. This elixir helps restore skin cells, heal inflamed and irritated skin issues, and reduce the stress your skin faces.
The winner will receive a bottle of Eden's Kiss Anti-Aging Day Facial Elixir!
5. Tracey Mallett
I used Tracey Mallett's prenatal yoga and pilates DVD when I was pregnant with my second, and I loved it. It was a nice balance of relaxation, stretching, and a low-key workout, especially good in the later end of my pregnancy.
Her recent project is called "Sexy in 6" – specifically geared towards moms. As a mother of two (who gained 55 pounds during her pregnancies), Tracey Mallett knows how hard it can be to find the time and energy to work out and eat right. So her new workouts are only SIX MINUTES EACH. They're created so that you can do six minutes here, six minutes there, whenever you have a chance. Does this sound like a mother's lifestyle, or what?
I love these workouts. My daughter does them with me, because six minutes is about her concentration span, and because they're so short, I can grab a little workout here and there. My biggest block to working out is finding the time, so with Sexy in 6, I no longer have an excuse. These exercises are a combination of Pilates, yoga, cardio, and strength training.
Tracey also has a pretty vibrant online community and a blog, both good for moral support and accountability. Believe me, I'm so excited about her new workouts.
The winner will receive three Tracey Mallett DVDs – two Six Minute Quick Blast DVDs, and her 3-in-1 Prengancy System DVD!

Mark Pieth: FIFA Needs New Anti-Corruption Controls
International soccer's governing body needs to implement anti-corruption controls for it to operate effectively in the future, said the new head of a governance committee.
Mark Pieth, a professor of criminology at the University of Basel who leads the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's bribery working group, was appointed by Fédération Internationale de Football Association, or FIFA, to lead an independent multi-stakeholder committee to advise on the reorganization of FIFA's governance. He was introduced Wednesday at a press conference at FIFA's Zurich headquarters. Corruption Currents watched the live stream on the body's website.
Referring to FIFA's massive growth over the years, Pieth compared the body to an international corporation that has grown so fast that its compliance has lagged. But he said there's more to it than that: FIFA is quite close to states and international organizations.
As such, "you have to upgrade governance to meet the requirements of a large company, of an international organization," he said.
The committee, which will be fully constituted by the next Executive Committee meeting on Dec. 17 in Tokyo, is tasked with advising FIFA on implementing governance reform for the future. In addition, Pieth produced a governance report, the contents of which he said won't necessarily make people at FIFA happy.
In the 39-page report analyzing FIFA's governing methods and organizational structures, Pieth recommends, among other things, the consideration of term limits for top officials, introducing a due-diligence procedure and the creation of a conflict-of-interest regulation capable of removing people from office.
Pieth also recommended in the report putting independent officials on the executive committee and splitting up the roles of the ethics and disciplinary committees, groups which he said had too much overlap.
Pieth said at the press conference that one thing the committee won't be addressing is the myriad scandals of the past, because doing so would require different staff and would muddle the committee's mandate.
"If you want to look at the past, you need the police and an independent Ethics Committee. If you look to the future, we would start our work by trying to convince people to do certain things," he said.
Pieth was asked by reporters who was paying for his services, and without specifying who will sign a paycheck and how much it would be Pieth confirmed that "we cannot do this for free."
His remarks were not welcomed by FIFA's critics.
"Because Mr. Pieth, the new chairman of the so-called FIFA 'Independent Governance Committee,' is a paid employee of FIFA, we find the suggestion that he is 'independent' false and misleading," wrote David Larkin, co-director of the group ChangeFIFA, in an email.
"In his apparent role teaching FIFA about transparency, we find his secret salary and failure to promise future committee meetings and records that are open to public inspection to be a violation of the very precepts he supposedly espouses," he wrote.

As much as was already said about Victor Oladipo in today's feature — which is linked in Hoosier Morning and can also be found here — there is still much more to say about the young man that didn't fit in the narrative, so I'm using the blog to empty my notebook, so to speak, with some anecdotes, quotes and facts about the Indiana junior guard that didn't quite make it in the paper. They follow.
Oladipo the Singer
Victor Oladipo's origins as a performer go back to his days in his church choir. He and his family are devout Catholics, and he had solos in choir shows and also sang in talent shows. But he rarely sang outside of church and his high school coach at DeMatha Catholic, Mike Jones, didn't know he could sing at all until the team's banquet his senior year after the Senior Night game.
"I looked at the program (for the banquet) after we played, and it said "Song selection, Victor Oladipo," Jones said. "I was just like "What?' He's got a twin sister Victoria, so I thought maybe someone made a mistake forgot to put the i-a on it. It came time for that part, and he stands up and says, "I'm going to sing a song, these are my brothers, I love them.' He sang It's So Hard To Say Goodbye to Yesterday by Boyz II Men. I thought, 'Oh my gosh, this is getting ready to be awful.' As long as I've known him and as much time as I've spent with him, I never once heard him sing a note, and I thought 'If he could sing, he would've sung by now, this is getting ready to be terrible.' But I tell you what, he started singing and I got chills. It brought a tear to my eyes. It was that good. I like to think I have a great relationship with all my players. But this was something I had no clue about. I was very impressed. That taught me a lesson. Don't doubt your guys."
Oladipo, of course, has taken his singing to the limelight much more since he's been in college. It started when he performed Usher's "U Got it Bad," at the Spirit of Indiana Showcase in April of 2011. That October he sang the same song at Hoosier Hysteria with his teammates serving as back-up dancers. He sang again at this year's Hoosier Hysteria, breaking out Mario's "Just A Friend."
He breaks out into random renditions of songs virtually everywhere he is. He's been known to walk into press conferences singing and to begin singing in the middle of press conferences. And the locker room. He's always singing in the locker room.
"Definitely when I'm walking to class, I just sing to myself," Oladipo said. "When I'm in the locker room, those boys definitely hear me singing" — he laughs — "They can't get enough of it, you know what I'm sayin?"
Oladipo said he hasn't considered a future in music, but it's something he wouldn't mind looking into when his basketball career ends.
"Maybe later in my life I'd do something like that go in the studio," Oladipo said. "That would be cool. Right now it's just all about basketball, just trying to make it at a high level."
Oladipo The Player
Today's story focused some on basketball, but not in a huge amount of depth. I talked to Oladipo at length about how he believes he's progressed and evolved. I'm just pasting his answers wholesale below, with truncated versions of my questions.
How have you evolved as a player since you've been at Indiana?
I've come a long way. When I first got here, I was just trying to find my way and trying to get better at certain things. I couldn't really dribble as well. I was really turnover prone. I wasn't really as confident in my ball-handling skills in my guard skills. I've just grown over the past years working out in the summer, working out with coach Crean, working in practice with my guard skills. My guard skills have gotten a lot better since then. Hopefully just keep improving my guard skills and that jump shot as well. Keep doing that keep and keep doing it with confidence and I'll be successful. And I'll keep growing as a player and I'll make a big step this year.
When you came to Indiana did you have a vision of what kind of player you wanted to be?
It was hard to think about that at the time. I was just trying to come in and get my feet wet as a freshman and trying to make an impact and be one of the best college basketball players in the country. I'm just trying to do that now, I'm trying to win at a high level and for my team to be successful, and I'm just going to cointinue to keep working hard so we have the opportunity to be successful in the NCAA.
How do you think you've become a better defender?
I'm smarter. I'm a smarter defender. Last year I still sometime got dumb fouls. This time I can be aggressive but be aggressive without fouling. I think I've gotten a lot better at that over the years. I was a pretty good defender coming in. When I first got here, I had a problem gambling and reaching and trying to make the hero plays instead of just being solid. I think I'm doing a better job of that this year. I'm just continuing to keep being solid and being active at the whole time.
How do you make the leap from being a good but undisciplined high-school defender to a true lock-down college defender?
Hard work and telling yourself that. If you tell yourself you're a good defender, you're gonna be a good defender. If you tell yourself you're gonna lock somebody up, then you're gonna lock somebody up. Your body follows your mind. I think it all starts with your mindset. If you have a mindset that you're gonna be a good defender and my man's not gonna score, my man's not gonna beat me outside the elbows, then your man won't do that. I think it all starts with your mindset. Then it comes to the physical attributes and goes on from there. I think it's definitely your mindset. Just thinking that you're a good defender, and it will enhance your defensive skills.
A recent story in Grantland called you "a pain in the ass" as a defender. Is that something you take pride in being called?
That's the beauty of being a good defender when someone says that. It means you're working hard and it means you're doing what you're supposed to do. I'm trying to be a pain in the ass on both ends of the floor. I think I'm doing a better job of that this year, just being active on offense, being active on defense, and just trying to stay consistent on both ends. Just trying to stay consistent on both ends, I'm trying to do that the whole year, just trying to stay focused.
Do you feel like your jumper is the last frontier for you? Is that the last big step you need to take to be a complete player?
Yeah, that has a little bit to do with it. I still need to become better at every aspect of my game. Definitely shooting.. I think I'm good shooter. I think I have good form and things like that . At this point, I just have to keep telling myself I'm gonna make the shot instead of thinking about it so much. I think sometimes in a game sometimes I'm wide open because people essentially leave me open. I'm like, I gotta make this, because people don't think I can shoot. It's going through my mind, instead of just shooting the ball and being a basketball player. I've grown to become a basketball player, not just an athletic guy who can defend. I just need to keep growing in every aspect of my game. I just stay focused on getting better.
You talked about being a basketball player and not just an athletic guy? Did you hear that knock on you? Did you think that's what people thought of you, and was it important to you to be considered a basketball player, not just somebody who could run, jump and play defense?
Sometimes people still think of me as that now. As just a guy who's athletic. A guy who can run and jump and defend occasionally, instead of being, 'I'm a basketball player, you know? I got guard skills. I can make decisions with the ball and stuff like that. I've been working, and I'm not going to stop working on it because I always have room for improvement. At the same time, I'm trying to let everybody know that I'm a basketball player. I'm trying to show that every night I go out on the floor. At the same time, I'm the athletic guy who can still defend, but at the same time, be a basketball player.
Interesting Stats on Oladipo I Didn't Use
In the story, I only discussed the very basic stats. Some other interesting ones that didn't make it.
Most know this one, but he's shooting 50 percent from beyond the 3-point arc. He's only taken 26 and made 13, but that's three more makes than he had all of last year.
He's second on the team with 11 blocks.
He's third in the nation in effective field goal percentage at 71.9. Effective field goal percentage which gives 3-pointers 50 percent more credit in the evaluation. It's basically 2 point field goals + (3-point field goals x 1.5) / total field goal attempts.
He's also third in the nation in true shooting percentage at 72.1. Ken Pomeroy explains true shooting percentage like so — "It's like eFG%, but throws in trips to the line and converts it to a shooting percentage that approximates what 2-point percentage a player would need to have to score the points he produces on all of his shooting attempts."
He's also 30th in the nation in steal percentage, averaging 4.8 steals per 100 possessions.
Unused Quotes
Tom Crean
"I think it became to me the more you get to know him, the personality, the charisma, things like that kind of come out pretty quick when you're just getting to know him. Then when you really see the depth of him and you see what he's capable of and you're around him on a day-to-day basis. You just, I think it's probably from personal experience as much as anything. I mean, I'm inspired by him. I get energy from him. I think if I do, then I think a lot of other people can to. He's got a uniqueness about him because he's not entitled. He's certainly been raised by his family and his coaches in a way that he's never been enabled. You're talking about a guy that had had to travel an hour, hour an a half ever day to get a school , leaving early in the morning to get to a school that was a big-time academic and basketball school that wasn't near his house. He's paid those prices, and I think there's so many different things that he can bring to the table. He's got an infectious personality, but there's a tremendous honesty about him. He enjoys being around people. He enjoys being a regular person. I think at the same time, he needs to understand that he's got a heck of a platform in helping people that I wouldn't say under privileged, but people that may might not have the level of self-esteem that or the level of self-confidnece that he has, and I think he can touch a lot of people that way, and I think he does, and I think he'll continue to. He's going to be successful when he leaves here in far more than just being a basketball player at the NBA level. There will be many other things, because I think people will continue to see it on a national level like they are now.
It's the consistency day-to-day. There's probably a lot of different things you could point to, but when somebody's really the same person every day with their work ethic, with their desire to be in the gym. Some people have a routine. He truly has a commitment. Routine is good, you've gotta have one. Routine can be a really consistent thing. But when you have a commitment level, well then your passion, your energy, your ability to connect. All of those things really come to light. He is an extremely helpful teammate. And I think his teammates not only feed off the obvious, but they feed off that work ethic. They see his drive and it does something to him. I think there's countless examples of him spending time or signing autographs or uplifting somebody. People want to meet him. People want to be around him. He's really really good with tht. I'll give you one of the best that I've seen. One day he came into church at about 10;40 church started at 1030. As it was ending. I said where are you going. He had walked from his apartment ot church, which is just about two miles. That's the kind of commitment this man has to what's important to him. Whether it's school basketball church family. Whatever it is. His commitment level is incredibly high."
Tim Buckley
"He started more games here then he did a DeMatha High School. Vic showed up here with a chip on his shoulder that was bigger than he is. He wanted to prove something and show that he belonged, but I also think that's his personality. I think he's a worker he's got an edge to him, but he's also got an infectious personality. I think people are attracted to him. I think people enjoy being around him. He's another one of those guys that when Jordan started coming over extra, I think Vic had that in his DNA, I thin Will had that in their DNA. I think that will Had that in their DNA, I' sure they knew where they were ranked and what people thought when we first signed them. Now I think there are a lot of people not only in our league but throughout the country that wish they had players like that that were that athletic. And that had gotten better with their skill level. A lot of the credit goes to them, and it also goes to the staff and the program for developing his skills. I think you're gonna see Vic shoot the ball better, shoot it with more confidence, because he does when there's nobody around. So now he's just gotta let it rip during the games, and if he misses one, to get to that next shot. Sometimes to be a great shooter, you can't have a conscience. You can't worry about what happened before that. I think he's a pretty conscientious guy. So he's just gotta get to that next play, that next shot. You see how well he's improved in the pick and roll and in handling the ball and making kicks, that type of thing. That's really expanded his game. He's not done expanding it, so I'm pretty excited to see how that will unfold here the rest of this year and the rest of his career at Indiana.

"He's one of the best kids to ever come through the program as a player, but he's definitely one of the best to ever come through as a person."

I think we're very lucky to have a person like Vic in the program. He really seems like a remarkable young man.
good work Dustin, appreciated it
I just watched The Journey for the 3rd time… I know I've said it before, but… I love Victor Oladipo.
He's on the verge of overtaking KS as my favorite Hoosier ever.
Geoff, Kelvin Sampson was your favorite Hoosier ever?
That's pretty shallow-minded of you! Mine is D.J. White, and then Rod Wilmont. Dipo is climbing the list rapidly though.
My least favorite is Eric Gordon. We destroyed the whole program for 4 years just to get his very limited services, and couldn't even get a single tournament win out of him.
Vic is very special to this program. It shows me Crean has a keen eye for talent. Vic wasn't in demand. With the right coaching and tools, I can see Vic having a successful NBA career. Especially these days when defense is a thing of the past in that league. He will be around for awhile.
I never much cared for Gordon either. I am pleased he is still connected to the program, but looking back, Illinois can have him. At least Weber would have so meshing to brag about. Lol.
Sampson never made sense to me. Indiana is about doing things the right way. Sampson had a record of not doing things the right way. I believe we were in a funk, since the Davis experiment failed, and became desperate. Just my opinion. Btw, is the rumor true at one point Tubby Smith was interested in coaching us?
Dustin, you are so very good in picking up the minutia that makes for sports characters. Sometimes, I wonder about using your column to basically reproduce what the beat guy is doing.
Your doing a lot more stories with the optic of the Oladipo story, an optic that puts the reader in the hall next to the locker room, or in the training room where these guys are free to be who they are, is a very unique view that we rarely get and wish we had more of.
I not only enjoyed the story,… I enjoyed Oladipo.
You should pursue the Cutting Room idea..a column based on the notes that go beyond the Who, When, What… The notes you normally end up throwing away because they are your perceptions would be so much more of a treat.
I suggest Geoff go for the full round-tripper and watch The Journey for the 4th time.
Great story and insight into Vic. Vic has been IU's player of the year, the Big 10's player of the year, and he should be in the running for national player of the year. He is clearly our MVP this season thus far. I venture to say he is going to be a better pro than anyone on this team and he's likely to play for a long, long time. He can defend anybody's best player and he's lightning quick. His outside jump shot & 3's are also vastly improved year to year.
To boot, the kid is a class act. I sure hope he stays for another year, although since he's graduating early in 3 years, he may elect to hit the NBA. Hope not, but he's had a great year so far and he'd fit virtually any NBA roster with his defense, quickness and ability.
Fred two thumbs up on your d.j.white pick as favorite hoosier, couldn't agree more. Dipo is a close second.
I thought Geoff was talking about Keith Smart as his favorite Hoosier. Vic is special. I remember walking down Kirkwood just outside Nicks in the summer before Vic's freshman year. He was walking and dribbling a basketball and no one really even noticed it was him. He was walking with Mo at the time. I stopped for a second and said to my family, "hey, it's Victor and Maurice. Go Hoosiers!" Most the people just gave a quick glance and kept on going. My guess is today if someone pointed out Vic walking down Kirkwood, he would attract a lot more attention than what he did his freshman year. Vic is the epitome of what drive, determination and hard work will do for someone. He's a special kid.
Come to think of it, Geoff could be talking about Kreigh Smith. I kinda liked Kreigh in his short shorts.

News 12 at 11 / Friday, June 20, 2014
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- A baby is at home with his grandmother after deputies say his mom left him in a hot car. Investigators say Alicia Manigault was taking a final exam while her two week old was in the back of her SUV.
News 12 spoke with two of the people who freed the baby and why they don't consider themselves heroes. They may work for different agencies, but their mission is the same.
"You were thebone that went through the window?" Raisa Garnett asked Deputy Jacob Green.
Garnett and Deputy Green are meeting for the first time since they each helped in getting a two week old baby out of a very hot car.
"I've had several people come up to me and say, 'Hey, good job.' It wasn't me. It was everybody involved," Green told News 12.
Deputy green still isn't comfortable with the title hero and says he might never be because team work is what helped save baby Christopher's life.
"The baby had minutes. So, just a little while longer, it could've been a different outcome," he said.
Green says rescuing the newborn covered in sweat is an example of a community working together, firefighters, deputies and a security guard who made a 911 call she'll never forget.
"I don't feel like a hero. I just did what any natural mother would do," Garnett said.
A security guard by day and mom to three boys for life, Garnett says a man told her the sound of a crying baby was coming from the SUV.
"I was getting ready to walk off, and then I looking in the side window and I saw the baby. He looked at me and started crying and shaking. I looked again and said, 'Dang, that's a baby,'" she said.
The newborn's mother is in jail and will face a judge on Monday. If and when she gets the chance to hold her baby again, it will be thanks to a lot of folks, but especially Deputy Green and Raisa Garnett. It was the instincts of the dad in Deputy Green to squeeze through the sunroof to unlock the car and the instincts of the mom in Garnett who made the call before it was too late.
Besides accidents, heatstroke is the number one car-related killer for kids. Every ten days a child dies from overheating in a car, statistics show.

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse Launches Gluten Free Pizza & Beer Today
May 25, 2010 by Nancy
Filed under News, Restaurant Reviews
Special thanks to FB friend Tami House for the heads up on the fact that she tried BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse's new gluten free pizza before it was announced. After researching it and contacting a BJ's restaurant and headquarters myself, I found that it is officially available at all BJ's restaurants beginning today (May 26), according to an email from Director of Operations, Curt Siverling: "We are very proud to launch our Gluten Free Pizza tomorrow on our new menu. We have been educating our management teams and team members on the Gluten procedures and are ready to launch it at our locations tomorrow (May 26.) We are also introducing Red Bridge Beer tomorrow on our menus, which is a popular Gluten Free beer."
I stopped by my local BJ's yesterday to see if they'd make me a pepperoni one a day early and they seemed excited to get started. That corporate "pride" was certainly passed down to the manager and the employees. The ones I spoke to had tried the pizza and loved it, and all seemed very informed on the new menu and procedures. They had already slipped the new menu page into the jacket and were ready to go.
The manager assured me that there is a separate prep area, that all pizza ingredients except for the meatballs are gluten free. He personally went to the back and told me that it was to check the area since I ordered the first one they had officially made. He said the GF tools were in place, the gloves were changed, and the cooks were trained in how to handle everything to avoid cross contamination. When the pizza was delivered, he came out to assure me that all went according to plan and the food was handled properly.
BJ's is known for their pizza, so I expected it to be great, and it did not disappoint! It was awesome. They buy the crust frozen from Venice Bakery in El Segundo, CA (there's less chance for cross-contamination if they are not mixing up the dough in the restaurant kitchen.) It is a medium thin, crispy "herb infused" crust covered with their rich, pasty sauce and just enough cheese and pepperoni to top it off perfectly. Another exciting thing about this pizza is the reasonable price – at my location, $8.95 for a 10" cheese pizza and a nominal fee for each topping.
Crust ingredients (Thanks to some detective work by Facebook friend Janel Yeisley-Berchielli): rice flour, tapioca flour,water, potato flour, olive oil, sugar, yeast, salt and seasonings (free of gluten, soy, dairy and egg)
Their gluten free menu has a nice variety of choices in addition to the pizza – chicken dishes, soups, salads, weekend brunch, steak, salmon, and giant stuffed baked potatoes (although it needs to have their great hamburger on a gluten free bun to be perfect.)
All in all, a great pizza, and a great Gluten Free experience!
See the gluten free menu here. As stated on the menu, "please inform your server if you, or anyone in your dining party, have any food allergies."
Use their restaurant locator to see if there's a location near you, and be sure to check out the restaurants coming soon if you don't see one nearby.

70 of 86 homicides Black lives
October's homicides have brought Allegheny County to 86 homicides thus far, way past the total of 2011. While any homicide is horrible, this month was exceptionally tragic, with the murders of several innocent bystanders. Charlene Walters was enjoying her grandson participating in a local youth football game, when she was hit with a bullet in the abdomen. Now, because someone had "beef" with someone else and could not take the time to think about what shooting at someone during a youth game could do, this grandmother will never see her grandson play football again and her grandson will never hear her cheer again.

Sally Goodin'
("Now this old tune, "Sally Goodin'," it's an old,
old fiddle tune, and whether it was a fiddle tune before
it was a song or a song before it was a fiddle tune, I
don't know. But I do know that my grandfather told me
that back when he was a little boy, and on before that,
each year they used to have a Sally Goodin' Day. And
on that day all the old fiddlers came together and the
people came together and they had a lot of fun. But it
ended by all the fiddlers playing "Sally Goodin'." And
whoever won the fiddling contest had the privilege of
choosing the new Sally Goodin' for the next year. And
seh was crowned as the Sally Goodin' for the next year.
And I'll sing you the old song.")
Oh, I had a piece of pie,
And I had a piece of puddin',
And I gave it all away,
To hug Sally Goodin'.
Chorus: I love that pie,
And I love that puddin',
And I love that girl
That they call Sally Goodin';
Sweet 'tater pie
And huckleberry puddin',
And I love that girl
That they call Sally Goodin'.
I had me a wife,
And I thought she's a good 'un,
Till I hugged that gal
That they call Sally Goodin'.
My soul was dead,
And my heart was wooden,
Till I kissed that girl
That they call Sally Goodin'.
Reel 214, Item 6, con't
I looked up the road
To see my Sal a-coming,
And I thought to my soul
That I'd kill myself a-runnin'.
Sally Goodin' came up,
And she danced down the middle,
And she won her crown
On the tune of a fiddle.
I won that cake
And a pie and a puddin',
When I played that tune
That they call Sally Goodin'.

What can you say about a year when the Vice President shoots somebody in the face, hides from the authorities, then gives a false statement - and nothing changes? It was interesting. But the bigger stories of the year may be the ones whose significance were less obvious, and more profound. I've already talked about science and homosexuality.
Here are a few others of special interest.
Earth Is Now a Slum Planet
Any day now -- in fact, it probably happened this year -- one more Third Worlder will move from the country to the city, and for the first time ever more humans will live in cities than in the country. (This according to the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs.) As author Mike Davis points out in his brilliant book "Planet of Slums," this is a watershed in human history.
The vast urban wastelands that circle our planet's urban centers are now the primary homes for the poor, the displaced, the hungry, and the ill. We're doing very little as a species to prevent this urbanization pattern, or to make it livable for the billions who are affected by it. The street vendors I saw struggling to survive in my trip to Africa this year are the harbingers of humanity's future.
If urbanization and slum proliferation were an invasion from outer space, the people of Earth would be mobilized as never before. Instead, it's happening slowly and inevitably, the result of economic forces we don't care to understand. Instead of being drawn into the high-tech "Borg collective" of Star Trek fantasies, the people of our diverse cultures are being crushed into a shantytown collective where they can be forgotten.
The slums are taking over.
Space War
This year I raised the possibility that the Bush Administration's new space policy might lead to space war or earth-based conflict. It was a story that had been ignored by the media at that point, but the Washington Post picked up on it a few days later and it got a lot of attention - briefly. That led to the question of whether I helped start a new cold war in space.
It's still one of the overlooked stories of the year. It may sound far-fetched - but then, so did invading Iraq.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
Torture Rays Against US Civilians?
That's another story I broke in 2006, with help from broadcaster Charles Gillette. As in the space war story, it sounds far-fetched. Nevertheless, your tax dollars are being spent to develop the weaponry, and the Secretary of the Army was explicit when he said he expects this new weaponry to be used against American demonstrators.
Is the Singularity Coming?
They've already built artificial neurons, and now they've created artificial synapses. Does this mean the "Singularity" is coming, when humanity becomes part human, part machine and advances beyond all current understanding?
Right now, artificial synapses are a potentially great technique for providing movement and other functionality to the paralyzed. But could a human being - you or me - soon be replicated as a machine and live forever? It may be possible. Would it be a good thing, and freely available to all? Raymond Kurzweil and other singularity proponents say yes. I have my concerns.
I'll write more about this in 2007.
God Is A Concept By Which We Measure Our ... Gain?
Democrats who want to appeal to the evangelicals might as well give up, according to the polls. Despite plunging poll numbers for the GOP, white evangelical Christians voted almost exactly in 2006 as they did in 2004. Accept it, Hillary: they're Yellow Dog Republicans.
But moderate religionists - those who don't go to church every week - moved heavily in the Democratic direction. That's where the Democrats should focus their attention in order to capture more "religious" voters, if you believe the numbers.
And if you don't believe the numbers, your religious outreach program is just another "faith-based initiative."
Saddam: Dead Men Tell No Tales
They grabbed him, made sure he gave no interviews to nosy reporters, and only tried him for one of his most minor atrocities. That seemed odd, until you realized that it was the only known crime he committed before he began his fruitful collaboration with the U.S. Republican Party, so he couldn't ask any embarrassing questions during his "show trial."
Then they made sure he was dead before the year was out. That way he couldn't be tried before the Hague or some other competent international court, where he no doubt would have given detailed evidence on how he was helped in his atrocities by Rumsfeld, Reagan, and other GOP leaders.
Saddam was a hideous human being, and our leaders helped him commit his crimes. Even though they rushed to execute him before he could talk, the public record is there for anyone to read: the secret handshakes, the support for Hussein in his use of chemical weapons against Iran (support that was illegal under current treaties), and the other tawdry pieces of the record.
Our media won't tell that story now, without the "human interest" of a rigorous Saddam trial. And America's only rationale for helping to commit these crimes against humanity - to resist the influence of Iran - has been subverted by our invasion. The government we've installed in Baghdad is as resolutely pro-Iranian as Saddam was resolutely anti-Iranian.
And what are the "centrists" talking about now? Why, a "surge," of course.
The Media Unbowed
The war in Iraq is a disaster. Generals are openly rebelling and talking about the futility of escalation (although it seems they've been whipped back in line to a certain extent.) The public has rejected the war. But read this CNN interview with John Edwards (scroll down), and you'll see that the "mainstream media" continues to aggressively attack any politician who discusses withdrawal -- even mischaracterizing what the generals say in order to do it.
That's a harbinger of 2007 and 2008. The media will continue to debate Democrats using Republican talking points, while letting Republicans walk. (link courtesy Atrios)
Plus ca change, plus ca meme merde. (That's right, motherf**ker. French! The French were right all along. Sorry about the grammar, Frenchpeople.)
Schrődinger's 'You'
TIME Magazine says the Person of the Year is "You," because "You" write blogs, create videos using YouTube, and use the Internet to change the political process. But do "you" really matter? If you do, that may well be the story of the year. If you don't matter, that's definitely the story of the year.
So which is it? Let's see: "You" voted overwhelmingly for the Democratic Party in 2006, and "You" were very clear in exit polls that you did so primarily to end the war in Iraq. Yet all Washington is talking about now is an escalation of that war. Will the Democrats you put into office have the guts to do what you elected them to do?
And as for that free and democratic Internet "You" allegedly used in 2006, will it stay free and democratic? AT&T and others have been fighting to crush the Internet as we now know it, by seeking to double-charge the creators of Internet content for the same use of bandwidth "You" have already paid for as a customer. That would replace today's "You"-centered Internet with a corporate-driven model that would be unrecognizable to today's Web users.
AT&T backed off their position in order to merge with another company, but that's just a temporary victory. If they and others succeed in their goals, few people will see all that revolutionary content "You" are supposedly creating - unless, of course, media companies continue to use "You" as unpaid talent.
Remember Schrődinger's cat, in the famous thought experiment? It's neither alive nor dead, until an observer comes along to open the box. It's a metaphor for a subtle (and often misunderstood) quantum physics concept. Here, though, it's a simpler matter.
Do "You" matter as a voter? Only the Democrats can open the box when they assume office in January. If they show some courage, you do. If they follow the path of expediency, you're irrelevant. And if ATT and its cohorts get their way, "You" will be disenfranchised from the Internet world you created. The regulatory issue known as "net neutrality" is an unopened box, too.
So "You" are the story of the year. But are "You" the future, or the past? Are "You" in control, or just a powerless and voiceless bystander? That's the story of 2006 - but we won't know the answer until 2007.

As he watched her walk past.
He craved for her body as men crave for all the riches of the world.
How he would have loved to graze every part of her picturesque body with his lips.
With his eyes following her back, down the road, slowly, he wiped the panic from his forehead.
He loved to watch her travel home from work and and disappear through her front door.
He loved to sit in front of her house until her bedroom light went out.
He longed to see where and how she slept and how angelic her body was.
Just a step through a door was holding him back from his most desired dwelling.
And he knew this.
The next few days he planned as he watched her.
And one night he climbed through the porthole from which he looked in from outside to notice she was in the shower.
The warm mist levitated up from under the door.
With his heart racing, he opened the door at a snail's pace.
He knew all about her; the way she moved; the way she talked. Why wouldn't she be happy if he was in there? He pondered upon her puzzling beauty like an astrologer to the stars. And as the sweet, thick air floated against his face, he opened the door and saw the bare purity of his wildest fantasies.

|A note on domino treewidth
|Treewidth, Domino treewidth, Graph algorithms, Tree decompositions
|In [DO95], Ding and Oporowski proved that for every k, and d,
there exists a constant ck,d, such that every graph with treewidth
at most k and maximum degree at most d has domino treewidth at
most ck,d. This note gives a new simple proof of this fact, with a
better bound for ck,d, namely (9k+7)d(d+1) -1.
It is also shown that a lower bound of Ω(kd) holds: there are
graphs with domino treewidth at least 1/12 × kd-1, treewidth at
most k, and maximum degree at most d, for many values k
and d.
The domino treewidth of a tree is at most its maximum degree.

Atomic Broadcast in Asynchronous Crash-Recovery Distributed Systems and Its Use in Quorum-Based Replication
Issue No.05 - September/October (2003 vol.15)
pp: 1206-1217
Lu? Rodrigues , IEEE

Abstract—<it>Atomic Broadcast</it> is a fundamental problem of distributed systems: It states that messages must be delivered in the same order to their destination processes. This paper describes a solution to this problem in asynchronous distributed systems in which processes can crash and recover. A Consensus-based solution to <it>Atomic Broadcast</it> problem has been designed by Chandra and Toueg for asynchronous distributed systems where crashed processes do not recover. We extend this approach: It transforms any Consensus protocol suited to the crash-recovery model into an Atomic Broadcast protocol suited to the same model. We show that Atomic Broadcast can be implemented requiring few additional log operations in excess of those required by the Consensus. The paper also discusses how additional log operations can improve the protocol in terms of faster recovery and better throughput. To illustrate the use of the protocol, the paper also describes a solution to the replica management problem in asynchronous distributed systems in which processes can crash and recover. The proposed technique makes a bridge between established results on Weighted Voting and recent results on the Consensus problem.

Distributed fault-tolerance, asynchronous systems, atomic broadcast, consensus, crash/recovery, quorum, replica management, weighted voting.
