Florida Disability Rights Advocate -- EFF Client -- Travels to DC to Support E-voting Bill
A.J. Devies, president of the Handicapped Adults of Volusia County (HAVOC), today made an impassioned plea to reporters, Congressional staffers, and voting reform advocates to support HR 550 as a way to ensure fair and equal treatment of voters with disabilities. "Disabled voters have been disenfranchised for years," noted Devies, and under the Help America Vote Act, states and counties have been allowed to purchase "accessible" touchscreen voting equipment that actually harms disabled voters.
Polling places in this country, said Devies, are increasingly being designed in a "separate but unequal" manner, permitting counties to use (for example) paper-based optical scan systems for the majority of voters but leaving disabled voters to use paperless electronic systems. The effect, said Devies, is twofold. Not only are disabled voters' ballots frequently not cast in a form that can be readily audited, the privacy of disabled voters is jeopardized when the ballots of disabled voters are collected on a system that is separate from equipment that collects ballots from the rest of the voting population.
Disabled voters should enjoy the same protections as other voters, said Devies, and HR 550 is designed to do away with that two-tiered system that has developed under HAVA.
EFF represented HAVOC in a 2005 lawsuit brought by the National Federation of the Blind against Volusia County, Florida, that sought to force the County to purchase paperless touchscreen voting machines. EFF filed an amicus brief on behalf of HAVOC and in support of the County, arguing that the County should be permitted purchase paper-based accessible voting systems like the Automark. The Court eventually ruled in favor of the County, although the state of Florida refused to certify the Automark, thus far preventing all Florida counties from being able to adopt that technology.

The Nashville Predators have Shea Weber locked up for 14 years. The face of the franchise is safe. The Predators' only concern now is writing the checks to add up to $110 million. Weber Watch is over (unless he demands a trade down the road, i.e., Rick Nash).
But 14 years is a long time. Weber will be 40 years old when the deal expires. The league will have been through multiple collective bargaining agreements. At least one realignment plan will likely have gone through. Even Justin Bieber will be 32 years old.
As owners try to eliminate these long-term deals in the current CBA negotiations, they still keep handing them out like candy on Halloween. But are teams getting a treat with these deals or is it all a big trick?
Think about some of the names who have signed deals longer than a decade: Rick DiPietro, Alexei Yashin, Roberto Luongo, Mike Richards, Jeff Carter and Vincent Lecavalier.
Not much needs to be said about DiPietro and Yashin. The Flyers shipped Richards out of town. Carter pingponged from Philly to Columbus to Los Angeles. The Canucks are trying to get rid of Luongo. And don't you think Lighting GM Steve Yzerman would like to have Lecavalier's $7.7 million annual cap hit to work with?
Ilya Kovalchuk quieted his critics this season, but his 15-year, $100 million contract caused plenty of issues (and a summer of drama) in New Jersey. Alex Ovechkin is getting $124 million over 13 years, but the Capitals haven't gotten any closer to winning the first Stanley Cup in franchise history. Ilya Bryzgalov certainly hasn't solved the Flyers' problems in net with his nine-year, $51 million deal.
Yet none of these tales scared off teams this offseason.
It is hard to see what other moves the Wild can make in the future after doubling up with Zach Parise and Ryan Suter for 13 years. The Penguins must have been certain that Sidney Crosby's concussion issues are behind him to give him a 12-year, $104 million contract. And the Hurricanes showed how important brotherly love is by signing Jordan Staal to a 10-year, $60 million extension.
Here is the question: Are long-term contracts smart business? Would you sign a player for longer than a decade?

When Catholic schools boast about "Catholic identity," they're usually talking about things like campus ministries, required theology courses, and Barack Obama. Despite the church's trenchant teachings on the subject—which stand in sharp distinction to the current U.S. political climate—the rights of workers to organize is not usually part of this list. In fact, it is lately more common for Catholic universities to claim that honoring the rights of workers is an affront to their religious identity. As Clayton Sinyai wrote in his recent article for America, "Which Side Are We On?":
Duquesne and the other Catholic universities adopting the same position (including Seattle University, St. Xavier University and Manhattan College) are trying to occupy an almost inconceivably narrow conceptual space. They are at once claiming to be too religious to be subject to enforcement action by the N.L.R.B. yet not religious enough to honor their adjuncts' right to organize out of simple fidelity to Catholic social teaching[.]
Thanks to a 1979 Supreme Court ruling, that is, religious schools can claim an exemption from recognizing faculty who seek union representation. As a result, Catholic administrators using the same basic legal and rhetorical argument about religious freedom that they've been using against Affordable Care Act mandates to deny the religious freedom—the freedom to organize for dignified work—of their own employees. This is an astonishing feat of cynicism. Worse, it comes in the midst of a national crisis in which university faculty, and the students expected to learn from them, are increasingly working with intolerable wages and unsustainable conditions. Rather than taking the moral high ground, many Catholic schools are taking advantage of a legal loophole to lead a race to the bottom.
Today, faculty and students at Catholic campuses are joining their counterparts on campuses around the country in National Adjunct Walkout Day. At Seattle University, Dan Peterson is participating because, he says, he wants to see the administration "put students first by giving faculty the resources to do so—a long tradition in Jesuit education." Peterson, a Lutheran theologian with two degrees from Jesuit schools, is taking care that the walkout has minimal impact on his students; it will occur at noon, twenty minutes before the end of one period, and he will offer four hours of make-up time. After his repeated efforts to bring complaints to the administration have been ignored, he believes collective action is necessary. Peterson currently holds a second job in order to support his teaching.
The petition associated with the Seattle University walkout, posted on the website of the Service Employees International Union, echoes his experience:
Contingent faculty members have been working hard for the past few years to develop a strategy for making their concerns, and our concerns, known. All attempts thus far have been ignored, and unionization has been actively contested by the university administration. The legal process, although drawn-out by the administration's efforts, has resulted in a favorable decision for our faculty. That being said, this same administration appears committed to blocking efforts to change the status quo at any level.Even with this opposition, we know we can win.
At John Carroll University in Ohio, where another organizing effort is underway, the walkout statement reads:
As students, adjunct faculty, full-time faculty, contract workers, direct employees, community members, and alumni, we call upon John Carroll University to immediately implement a Jesuit Just Employment Policy recognizing all campus workers' right to a living wage, fair and equitable pay and benefits, a safe and just work environment, and the freedom to organize to form unions without any employer interference or retaliation.
This call for a "Jesuit Just Employment Policy" evokes the model of Georgetown University, where administrators chose to remain neutral and allowed a successful adjunct union-drive to proceed. Georgetown's behavior should be the bare-minimum norm for Catholic institutions, not the sterling exception.
Yet the ironies pile on. The National Labor Relations Board has recently ruled against several institutions seeking to oppose unionizing by questioning their fealty to Catholic identity in the first place. Administrators then react with frenzied affirmations of Catholic identity precisely in order to continue evading their responsibility to Catholic social teaching. The more messy the situation becomes, the simpler the answer seems. The best way of affirming Catholic identity is surely to actually practice it—by letting faculty organize.
An update. Now, John Carroll University's ACCREDITATION is at SERIOUS RISK. The Regional Accreditating Association has put JCU on notice in several categories/areas of evaluation. Academic Affairs Professionals in higher education familiar with accreditation and compliance reviews will tell you that the areas of deficiency at John Carroll will be extremely difficult to repair in the time allotted by the accreditation body. Pile this on all the issues discussed here and a premier Jesuit institution looks not long for this world.
The book, Catholic Social Teaching and Unions in Catholic Primary and Secondary Schools, also takes the bishops to task for being somewhat two-faced in their support for unions. A survey of Catholic schools' benefits and salaries (averaging around 80% of their public school counterparts) and working conditions are among some of the areas discussed in the book.
The author concludes with these two sentences: "The more messy the situation becomes, the simpler the answer seems. The best way of affirming Catholic identity is surely to actually practice it - by letting faculty organize."
Uff da. I think while the author made a good faith attempt at bringing to light a very important and growing issue in the church and academia, he has sadly, over simplified the issue. Perhaps it was due to writing-length restrictions, but I do not think so as the timbre of the article suggests some unfamiliarity with the issue.
My master's capstone at DePaul University was on this subject. There are a few things that I think should be noted, my biases included.
1. I am from Wisconsin and strongly support both public and private sector unions - and am very disappointed about the imminent enactment of right-to-work.
2. I am an alumnus of Saint Xavier University in Chicago
3. I flew out to NY to interview the president of Manhattan College among many other presidents of member institutions of the ACCU (Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities - they have some well written amicus briefs for both Xavs and Manhattan) as well as union organizers on the campuses.
Things left out of the article:
1. Saint Xavier has a faculty union; for its full time faculty and has since the 1970s. However it is an independent union. The push recently has been by national consortium. Dennis Holtschneider CM, President of DePaul went on record in my interview (he was the former president of the ACCU) saying that national unions are using Catholic Colleges to start a trend to help save national unions - the interest in worker rights may exist but it is not the foremost concern. In fact there are Catholic colleges that have healthy relations between unions and administrators including some Vincentian Universities.
2. The schools are most certainly not trying to show the NLRB that they are "too religious" to be under their jurisdiction - this shows, it seems, a lack of reading the relevant laws. Frankly, by being Catholic they are exempt - period. And the NLRB is what makes this messy. At the regional hearing for Saint Xavier one of the vice presidents at the time, a Sister of Mercy, the founding and sponsoring order of the institution was asked questions that related to whether or not she knew if certain faculty were in "a state of grace". The questions were almost entirely theological. This is government entanglement of religion and has been and should remain unconstitutional. In effect a government agency was trying to come up with a litmus test for what constitutes "Catholic". That is disconcerting.
3. This article fails to note that at least at Manhattan College and at Saint Xavier, the adjuncts were allowed to vote. The votes remained held up in DC however due to the fact they were supervised under what has now been deemed an illegal session of the national NLRB (it was a unanimous 9-0 vote that came down last January). The opposition from these school administrators (I am not familiar with Seattle) is that they would rather an independent union body form for their adjuncts rather than the NEA or the Steel Workers union oversee their faculty - which is precisely what Saint Xavier did when full time faculty organized in the 1970s. Their union still exists to this day.
4. Last but not least - for a union to exist, there have to be 50%+1 of its employees that want it. Per point #3 above, Saint Xav's ballots are impounded in DC - that is, the second round of voting. The adjunct union vote failed at the University the first time around. A majority of adjuncts did not want it; we do not know if that is true at Manhattan because it is their first vote, I believe that remains under lock and key.
There is some cynicism here. When the adjunct union vote failed, fair-and-square, the organizers decided to exempt the adjunct nursing faculty from voting in the second round. Why would that be? Well, Xav's is known for its nursing school, and the nursing adjuncts were the most vocally opposed to the unionization effort. Unionization is a crystallized right in Catholic Social Teaching; but evading decency in the vote does not permit such justice.
If they want to unionize - good and fine - they have that right legally in the US and morally as pointed out in the article (though the economic consequences haven't even been discussed - both to students and no the flow of adjunct labor). All these schools are trying to do, whether they want the unionization or not is to get the NLRB off their back to avoid government entanglement.
However, personally, I feel that as a prerequisite to unionization at a Catholic institution, the organizing body must be in union with the Church (most directly through Ex Corde). If they are not, they're in effect unionizing against the Church, and Her teaching. Pope Francis spoke clearly about that shortly after his election when administrators from Notre Dame paid the Holy Father a visit.
Thank you for these contributions to the discussion! You raise some really valuable points, I think.
In particular, I'm interested in the points you raise about independent unions, and unions in alignment with the church. That is indeed an appealing alternative. But at present it also asks a lot of workers who are already quite vulnerable and strapped for time. National unions have the capacity to help them mount an election; until Catholic organizations are willing to provide similar support, I think it is reasonable for these workers to collaborate with an organization like the SEIU. I for one would be very eager to revive labor institutions grounded in Catholic values, and would eagerly support them.
A critical fact here, also, is that these schools employ a great many non-Catholics, and serve non-Catholic students, and experience a host of benefits from running a non-profit educational institution in the United States (such as government grants and subsidies). If the institutions want government immunity from labor law on the basis of their theological commitments, it seems appropriate for the government to investigate those theological commitments to see whether they are truly at play in the workplace. If the institutions don't want that scrutiny, they should not attempt to take advantage of the exception. Catholic institutions take advantage of the talents of non-Catholic staff, and I think it is problematic to subject those staff to an environment where they don't have the same rights that they'd have at a similar secular institution. I would argue that the priority for Catholic identity, here, is taking a position of leadership against economic injustice in the larger society, not simply circling the wagons and pretending to declare independence from the society of which these universities are already very much a part.
You raise the question of economic effects, too. This is an important question, and there's surely a rich discussion to be had about how the budgetary priorities of Catholic institutions might differ from secular counterparts. But I think a non-negotiable bottom line should be providing dignified working conditions for all workers. If doing so requires sacrifice in other areas, so be it. Hopefully Catholic identity will provide sufficient solidarity and support to make up the difference.
Thanks for the dialogue.
Working backwards to your follow up:
Economics - sure there is a difference for more state schools v. Catholic ones, but I think the larger economic piece is, the size of the endowment and student size, followed by whether or not there is a full time faculty union in place (then will the admin have to bargain with two seperate unions)? Additionally it seemed to me that yes, there is clear something wrong with our use of adjuncts - I think abuse may be too strong a word but given their average pay and work load compared to say a tenured faculty member there is a huge economic disparity in the aggregate. Lastly on economics, I came across two types of adjuncts (not just pro and con on the union) and they were those will full-time jobs really just wanting to teach one class a semester, and those others whom are trying to become professors but cannot get tenure so they're trying to create the same thing for adjuncts. That raises the question for me; if they cannot get into tenured positions, would they be crowding out fellow adjuncts to come if they developed the same system that excluded them?
Second - where I think just fundamentally disagree:
"A critical fact here, also, is that these schools employ a great many non-Catholics, and serve non-Catholic students, and experience a host of benefits from running a non-profit educational institution in the United States (such as government grants and subsidies). If the institutions want government immunity from labor law on the basis of their theological commitments, it seems appropriate for the government to investigate those theological commitments to see whether they are truly at play in the workplace. If the institutions don't want that scrutiny, they should not attempt to take advantage of the exception."
The hiring and educating non-Catholics is a moot point I think. The institutions in question like the many other agencies of the Church have hired and served non-Catholics far before changes in the labor laws in the 20th Century. I also believe your line of thinking leads to a slippery slope. There are many "Catholic" and sedevecantist churches in the US which are not canonically recognized. From the governments stand point they are still Catholic because they incorporate as a Church and you cannot trademark the word Catholic - whether or not the nonprofit is aligned with Rome. That's as much scrutiny as these institutions should have lest a government litmus test (highly illegal) be created to determine what is sufficiently Catholic. What is sufficiently Catholic is determined by the local ordinary - outside of tax forms and 990s the government should not be entangled.
To the point of independent unions rather than national entities like the SEIU. Look at what is going on in San Fran with Cordelione and that doesn't even involve a union - as far as I know. But I'm digressing. The Church opposes IVF; what if the union requires as a concession that IVF or egg freezing insurance packages be included? Should a Catholic institution be forced to do what it calls wrong, and wouldn't otherwise have to do if it were not for a national union? An autonomous unions will provide the same protections and bargaining power, at least legally, as say the SEIU - but it won't have the national agenda of the SEIU.
Prior to a union, some years earlier SXU had FAC (Faculty Affairs Council) which for all intense and purposes was a union save for the most important part - it had no teeth.
"Legal constrains came into play; causes to take further offense arose... SXC [Saint Xavier College at the time] faculty members voted on this proposition: "The Faculty Affairs Committee is hereby and forthwith recognized as the sole and exclusive authorized bargaining agent for the faculty of Saint Xavier College, Chicago, Illinois." The election went in favor of the petitioners, SXC President Sister Irenaeus reported to the Board of Trustees... and on November 27, 1979, the National Labor Relations Board formally certified the Faculty Affairs Committee as "the exclusive representative..." for all full-time and portion of full-time teaching and library personnel at the College." (First in Chicago: A history of Saint Xavier, p 318-319).
From Rerum through Laborem - the Church as clearly supported the right to organize (though as others have pointed out - we don't do a good job ourselves - perhaps to the point of hypocrisy). But no papal document or article of Catholic Social Teaching says the organizing has to be done by certain national groups. I think if the adjuncts tried forming their own autonomous unions only to seek certification from the NLRB, they would have an easier time fighting those opposed to them especially in the Administration Buildings of Catholic campuses.
My cyncism also extends to the fact that many national unions, the SEIU included started taking ownership of their members pensions shortly before the crash... and now with dwindling membership nationally and pension obligations, what is going to come first: the needs to create more dues paying members to pay for their national obligations or the good of the specific Catholic school with it's particular charism?
I obviously lack brevity. If you'd like to keep the conversation going - other than highlighting my weak points here - my email should be included in my registration information and you can reach me there. (Pardon any typos I'm trying to write this while I can as fast as I can).
Thank you for this article, Mr. Schneider. Adjuncts at Loyola Marymount University, where which I teach, experienced explicit union-busting, in which both administration and tenure-line faculty were complicit. (See my article, http://cheausa.org/betrayal-mission-lmu-professor-adjunct-unionization/) I am thrilled to learn of the call at John Carroll University for a Jesuit Just Employment Policy, a policy I hope we can develop and implement at Loyola Marymount University. I hope those of us at Catholic institutions of higher education will support one another in seeking a just employment policy at our home institutions. Anna Harrison, Associate Professor of Theological Studies, Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, CA
It is sad history of the Catholic church and its institutions in the area of just salaries or wages for their employees.
The generosity of religious sisters and brothers was used to maintain Catholic schools, colleges, hospitals, parish services, etc. with minimum or no salaries at all. These days, we see the elderly population of religious orders who served them during their younger years, without even social security incomes or retirement pensions...
If we are called to teach by example, the history shows Catholic social teachings have been taught for "others" to practice, while the Catholic institution used and uses any legal loophole to evade its responsibility.

When a small casino opened on the sleepy outpost of Christmas Island in 1993, few realised what a blinding and instant success it would be."It was an orgy of cash," says a former manager. "The first weekend the profit they made was $15 million – profit!" Planes shuttled back and forth from Jakarta, disgorging the wealthy elite of Suharto's Indonesia and their cases crammed with cash. After six months, turnover topped $3 billion. Two years on it was $12 billion."We were taking more money than all the casinos combined in Australia," boasts a former executive. "I'd worked in casinos throughout the Middle East and I'd never seen such action."Players were betting $1 million a hand. Some, according to one insider, "were involved in drugs, prostitution, arms dealing, that sort of thing". But no one worried about the colour of their money. Certainly not the Australian Government, which saw the casino as a handy tax-earner and a symbol of the then close relationship with Indonesia. Four Corners reveals the full story of the Christmas Island casino and the powerful Indonesian figures behind it – President Suharto, who gave it his personal blessing; Suharto's playboy son Tommy, now facing charges of murdering a judge; Tommy's business crony Robbie Sumampow, who built his fortune on the occupation of East Timor; and the feared ex-military chief General Benny Murdani.For the first time, former casino staff and an Australian part-owner speak out about the gambling binge and the Indonesian connections who prospered from it.Reporter Sally Neighbour's investigation raises disturbing questions about the casino, the origins of the cash that flowed in, and where it ended up... questions which the Australian Government preferred not to ask.The last gamblers left Christmas Island four years ago as Indonesia was paralysed by an economic and political crisis that finally claimed Suharto. Now the island is abuzz again. There's a plan for a spaceport - and a re-opened casino under new owners to bring the money rolling in once more.But have any lessons have been learnt from "The Christmas Party"?"The Christmas Party" was first broadcast on ABC TV on Monday 1 July, 2002.

Moore County voters took to the polls Saturday to decide if a new hospital and assisted living facility would be built in Dumas.
Voters were faced with a $49 million bond to build that aging facility. However, they voted against with 1,328 votes against and 751 for. The hospital board said the current hospital is in need of major renovations and it's not up to code, and said the work would cost upwards of 80 to 90-percent of the cost of new construction.
If the bond did pass, taxes on the average $100,000 home would have increased by $135 per year.

The first purchaser of this work was Walter Butterworth, who in 1911 negotiated the purchase of three bronzes by Rodin for the Manchester City Art Gallery. On his visit to Rodin's house at Meudon outside Paris, Butterworth had been struck by this painted plaster and later asked if he might purchase an example for himself. In his reply, dated 26 December 1911, Rodin described the work as 'a plaster which is in a slightly poor state, but which is beautiful nevertheless'. A week later Rodin wrote again saying that he would like to give Butterworth the plaster as a souvenir of his visit to Paris and of his friendship. At least twenty-two bronzes and two marble versions of this sculpture are known to exist.

"Renowned soprano Renée Fleming demonstrates how she can treat a song like a mini-opera." Read more »
"La Cieca cannot imagine it is much fun to sing 'Dove sono' when you're suffering a fresh case of the Reno jumpy-wumps."
In the December 1998 issue of parterre box, your doyenne muses on Renée Fleming and Aprile Millo; Our Own JJ reviews a recording of the Callas master classes; Enzo Bordello, Dawn Fatale and Nakamura Akira chime in from three continents; Roy Wood gushes over Kathleen Battle; and Dr. Repertoire dissects Cinderella and Company. [Download Issue #34]
In vintage issue #33: La Cieca gossips about Dr. Jonathan Miller, Renée Fleming's Lucrezia Borgia, a weekend at Glimmerglass and New York Grand Opera in Central Park; reviews by Andrew Cooper and Dawn Fatale; "La Canzone di Lydia"; the final installment of "Impossible Discs"; Act Two of "A Bitchy Class"; and offbeat recordings selected by Leila de Lakmé. [Download Issue #33]
I think we're all aware by now of the wicked libel that the French dramatist Victor Hugo concocted about the fair Lucrezia Borgia with his depiction of her as a murderous virago.
Her appearance is incongruous to this setting.
La Cieca has been wining, dining and otherwise wooing her Met connection (pictured above) and he (or is it she?) has come across with some tidbits about upcoming seasons at Casa Gelb.
"Sing on your vocal interest, not your vocal principal!"
Christian Thielemann has proved himself to be the preeminent Strauss interpreter of the current generation of conductors and he's in striking form here.
André Previn's A Streetcar Named Desire, with the "People's Diva" herself in the iconic role of the unstable Blanche DuBois.
La Cieca thought it would be amusing to do a bit of speculation about what's to come as we approach the middle of the decade.

The Minnesota Vikings clearly have a lot of holes on both sides of the ball.
They don't have a starting quarterback.
They need to revamp their offensive and defensive lines.
They could be losing veterans Ray Edwards, Pat Williams, and even possibly Sidney Rice.
They will probably look to the draft to fill some of these holes, but that can't be the answer to all of their questions.
Eventually, free agency will open back up and could be an avenue for the Vikings to fill some holes as well.
They should also take this off-season as an opportunity to relinquish some players whose performances have been inadequate over the last few seasons.
Releasing or choosing not to resign some of these players could not only create some roster space, but clear out some major cap space as well. The added cap space could be very useful in retaining important players like Sidney Rice or Adrian Peterson, who is a free agent after the 2011 season.
Here are some players that the Vikings could do without moving into the 2011 season.

text: You guys know the Ziff Davis that rules 1up.com and EGM? I'm talking about that one. There was a magazine that I loved called OPM. It unfortunately passed on. I have the final issue in a frame in my room. Then GFW moved to online only. This seemed like a good move at the time and made sense because most PC gamers would like to check PC gaming news on their PC. Then, slowly but surely, the rest of the staff left. I can't say that I knew all of those who left, but it still hurt me to see them go every time. The love that they would get was astounding. Now that so may of the GFW staff that were here for a long time left,GFW Radio (AKA the Brodeo) has been canceled. I'm shocked. Before any of this happened, if someone asked me where I got my gaming news, everyone knew what 1up.com was. Now, the hardcore and older gamers are the only ones who recognize it and even they don't seem to recognize it as a viable source. I still read 1up every day and will continue to spread the word of its awesomeness. I strongly encourage you all to do the same.

Will Smith obviously isn't worth $10 million per year anymore. Jon Vilma isn't worth $6 million. And as much as it pains me to say it as a longtime Roman Harper apologist, the New Orleans Saints safety isn't worth the $5.35 million in salary and bonuses he's scheduled to receive this season.
Especially not with this team right now, which so desperately needs an extreme makeover on defense and has so little salary-cap space to work with.
But where should the Saints draw the line? Those are the difficult financial and emotional decisions the team will need to make during the next two weeks before the start of the NFL's new league year and the free-agent signing period March 12.
If the price was right - say $3 million per year or less - I would absolutely make room for all three guys. Their veteran leadership, smarts and popularity within the locker room still has some genuine value as the Saints make their dramatic switch to a 3-4 system and new coordinator Rob Ryan.
And I especially think Harper can be a big asset as an attacking play-maker, like he was under former coordinator Gregg Williams (there's that old apologist in me, again).
But depending on whether the three players are willing to take such a deep cut, it might indeed be time for the Saints to simply rip off the Band-Aid.
If ever there was a time to blow up an old defense and start fresh with a new one, this is it in New Orleans.
I do still like a lot of the defensive players on the Saints' roster as "complementary" players (which I will rank from top to bottom in a separate post this afternoon).
And I do genuinely believe the defense can bounce back quickly to at least sniff middle-of-the-pack status.
What they don't have are any of the dynamic difference-makers that can routinely disrupt an opposing offense. What they need are impact players like Smith and Vilma were in their primes.
And even though it might not make perfect fiscal sense to go all-in on that type of high-priced player in free agency, no options should be off the table right now.
A pass-rusher like the Dallas Cowboys' Anthony Spencer or the Houston Texans' Connor Barwin would sure make all the rest of the Saints' window dressing look a little prettier.
It is possible for the Saints to squeeze in such a player under the salary cap. Just last year, for example, the Saints signed guard Ben Grubbs to a five-year, $36 million contract that had a first-year cap value of only $2.7 million. Obviously, that's just delaying an inevitable future price tag, but it might be worth it while the Saints are still in their championship window.
Regardless of whether the Saints opt for that approach or decide to go for three or four second-tier free agents like they've done in recent years, any kind of makeover will require cap space that they don't currently have available.
It probably will require the Saints to bid farewell to one, two or all three of those veteran guys that were at the heart of their Super Bowl championship team.

According to the United Nations, water use has been growing at more than twice the rate of population growth in the last century. By 2025, an estimated 1.8 billion people will be living in regions with absolute water scarcity, and two-thirds of the world population will be under water stress conditions. Currently, water scarcity affects one in three people on every continent on the planet and the outlook is bleak. As the population grows, rapid urbanization, climate change and an unprecedented rise in the demand for food will increase global water stress, as explained in the UN World Water Development Report, Managing Water Under Uncertainty and Risk.
The Search for Solutions
The issue of water scarcity is gaining attention from global thought leaders. The World Economic Forum has recognized water scarcity as the second most important risk facing the world in the years ahead.1 Water issues also are bringing industry, banks, and policy-makers together. The World Bank, World Wildlife Fund, World Economic Forum, corporations, and others have joined forces and created the 2030 Water Resources Group to utilize the collective knowledge of the water community, private sector, NGOs and governments to find sustainable solutions to the water crisis.
Jin-Yong Cai, CEO of the International Finance Corporation, recently stated, "Economic growth and social well-being depend on a safe and secure water supply. Yet water security is one of the top five global risks most likely to manifest itself over the next ten years. The private sector's perspectives on water resource management are a critical part of the solution as we consider the way forward. It helps provide innovations, technology, and funding necessary to confront the challenges of water security."2
Innovation in Water Conservation
Solidia TechnologiesTM is a sustainable technology company with a patented scientific process that makes it easy and profitable to use CO2 to create better building, construction and industrial products.
Using up to 20% less water, Solidia's process uses a sustainable cement to produce concrete that is stronger, more durable, more flexible and costs less—using the same raw materials and equipment but less water, energy, and time throughout the entire supply chain. Because water is not consumed during the process, it can be collected and reused, with recycle rates approaching 100%.

Australian milk production increased by nearly 360 million litres, or 3.8%, to 9.73 billion litres in 2014/15 - reflecting improved conditions on a difficult prior year for many dairy farmers. Although seasonal conditions remained drier and generally unfavourable in northern regions, broadly more favourable rainfall and temperatures prevailed across the south-eastern dairying regions.
Milk production is concentrated in the temperate zone of Australia. Australian milk production remains strongly seasonal in the key south-eastern dairying regions, reflecting the predominantly pasture-based nature of the industry.
Milk production peaks in October, tapers off until late-summer, and then flattens out into the cooler winter months. The production of long shelf-life manufactured products in these parts of the country has enabled maximum milk utilisation within the seasonal cycle. However, the seasonality of milk output in Queensland, New South Wales and Western Australia is much less pronounced, due to a greater focus on drinking milk and fresh products in these states. Farmers in these states manage calving and feed systems to ensure more even year-round milk production.

Gonna stick a 2ltr 16v into a corsa. understand I gotta get the astra GTE driveshafts machined and also the astra hub machined to fit the corsa wheelbearing.
Now if I walked into an engeering place that could do this and told them the above would they know what I was on about cause I dont. lol. What exactly needs to be machined on the driveshaft. I assume the hub just needs to be lathed down until its the same size as a corsa hub. Whats the torelance for it, or are engineering places really accurate.
Does anyone know of any places that can do this sort of work? preferably midlands. What sort of place am I looking for in yellow pages? guess they dont come under driveshaft manipulation?
How much am I roughly looking at for this.

Violence, its after effects, and the threat of violence, continue to disrupt millions of lives in the cities of Latin America. As recently as the 1990s, politicians and designers from Medellín traveled to Caracas to see how design might contribute to breaking the stranglehold of violence during Medellín's darkest years. The ongoing crisis in Caracas, rising violence in Mexico, and instability in Brazil's major cities remind us of how difficult it is not just to achieve any kind of fragile balance within urban societies, but also to sustain the conditions of peace and prosperity over the longer term.
The third Designing For Life Symposium: Violence and Cities in September 2016 at Wentworth Institute of Technology's Boston campus brings together some of the clearest and most hopeful voices on how design has, and can again, play a role in breaking political deadlocks, offer hope to otherwise disparate factions of society, and consolidate new alliances around shared visions for change. The extreme conditions of Caracas and other cities trapped in cycles of violence, and the recent memory of similar threats in Medellín serve to illuminate questions around the role of public space, policing strategies and urban form, land rights, and inclusionary design strategies for a healthier civil society in ways that renders them legible in less extreme circumstances elsewhere. As in previous symposia in 2008 and 2013, the 2016 Designing for Life Symposium will invite the professionals and educators of the region to convene to consolidate the lessons of past successes and strategize approaches and initiatives in the face of new and ongoing challenges. Exhibitions and Symposium discussions address the translation of principles, practices and dispositions between Caracas, Medellín and Boston.

NVIDIA Launches Flagship Quadro K6000 Graphics Card For Visual Computing Professionals
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 23, 2013 - 01:00 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: workstation, simulation, quadro k6000, quadro, nvidia, k6000, gk110
Today, NVIDIA announced its flagship Quadro graphics card called the K6000. Back in March of this year, NVIDIA launched a new like of Quadro graphics cards for workstations. Those cards replaced the Fermi-based predecessors with new models based on NVIDIA's GK-104 "Kepler" GPUs. Notably missing from that new lineup was NVIDIA Quadro K6000, which is the successor to the Quadro 6000.
Contrary to previous rumors, the Quadro K6000 will be based on the full GK110 chip. In fact, it will be the fastest single-GPU graphics card that NVIDIA has to offer.
The Quadro K6000 features a full GK110 GPU, 12GB of GDDR5 memory on a 384-bit bus, and a 225W TDP. The full GK110-based GPU has 2,880 CUDA cores, 256 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. Unfortunately, NVIDIA has not yet revealed clockspeeds for the GPU or memory.
Thanks to the GPU not having any SMX units disabled, the NVIDIA Quadro K6000 is rated for approximately 1.4 TFLOPS of peak double precision floating point performance of and 5.2 TFLOPS of single precision floating point performance.
The chart below illustrates the differences between the new flagship Quadro K6000 with full GK110 GPU and the highest tier Tesla and consumer graphics cards which have at least one SMX unit disabled.
NVIDIA GK110-Based Graphics Cards
|Quadro K6000
|Tesla K20X
|Memory Bus
|Memory Bandwidth
|288 GB/s
|250 GB/s
|288 GB/s
|Single Precision FP
|Double Precision FP
The NVIDIA GTX TITAN gaming graphics card has 2,688 CUDA cores, 224 TMUs, and 48 ROPs and is rated for peak double and single precision of 1.31 TFLOPS and 4.5 TFLOPS respectively. On the other hand, the lower-clocked Tesla K20X compute accelerator card has 2,688 CUDA cores, 224 TMUs, and 48 ROPs along with lower clockspeeds on the memory and GPU. Because of the lower clockspeeds, the K20X is rated for double and single precision floating point performance of 1.31 TFLOPS and 3.95 TFLOPS and memory bandwidth of 250GB/s versus the 288GB/s bandwidth on the TITAN and K6000.
NVIDIA® Quadro® K6000 GPU
In all, the new K6000 is an impressive card for professional users, and the GK110 chip should perform well in the workstation environment where GK104 was the only option before. NVIDIA claims that the GK110 is up to 3-times the performance of the Quadro 6000 (non K) predecessor. It is also the first Quadro GPU with 12GB of GDDR5 memory, which should lend itself well to high resolutions and artists working with highly detailed models and simulations.
Specifically, NVIDIA is aiming this graphics card at the visual computing market, which includes 3D designers, visual effects artists, 3d animation, and simulations. The company provided several examples in the press release, including using the GK110-based card to render nearly complete photorealistic vehicle models in RTT Deltagen that can run real time during design reviews.
The Quadro K6000 allows for larger and fully populated virtual sets with realistic lighting and scene detail when 3D animators and VFX artists are working with models and movie scenes in real time. Simulation work also takes advantage of the beefy double precision horsepower to support up to 3-times faster simulation run times in Terraspark's InsightEarth simulation. Users can run simulations with wider areas in less time than the previous generation Quardo cards, and is being used by oil companies to determine the best places to drill.
Pixar's Vice President of Software and R&D Guido Quaroni had the following to say regarding the K6000.
"The Kepler features are key to our next generation of real-time lighting and geometryhandling. The added memory and other features allow our artists to see much more of thefinal scene in a real-time, interactive form, which allows many more artistic iterations."
The K6000 is the final piece to the traditional NVIDIA Quadro lineup and is likely to be well recieved by workstation users that need the increased double precision performance that GK110 offers over the existing GK104 chips. Specific pricing and availability are still unknown, but the K6000 will be available from workstation providers, system integrators, and authorized distribution partners beginning this fall.

Turn half your GTX 690 into a Quadro or Tesla?
Subject: General Tech | March 18, 2013 - 06:23 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: nvidia, hack, GTX 690, K5000, K10, quadro, tesla, linux
It will take a bit of work with a soldering iron but Hack a Day has posted an article covering how to mod one of the GPUs on a GTX690 into thinking it is either a Quadro K5000 or Tesla K10. More people will need to apply this mod and test it to confirm that the performance of the GPU actually does match or at least compare to the professional level graphics but the ID string is definitely changed to match one of those two much more expensive GPUs. They also believe that a similar mod could be applied to the new TITAN graphics card as it is electronically similar to the GTX690. Of course, if things go bad during the modification you could kill a $1000 card so do be careful.
"If hardware manufacturers want to keep their firmware crippling a secret, perhaps they shouldn't mess with Linux users? We figure if you're using Linux you're quite a bit more likely than the average Windows user to crack something open and see what's hidden inside. And so we get to the story of how [Gnif] figured out that the NVIDIA GTX690 can be hacked to perform like the Quadro K5000. The thing is, the latter costs nearly $800 more than the former!"

NVIDIA Allegedly Launching Quadro K6000 GK110 GPU For Professionals
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 8, 2013 - 02:17 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: quadro, nvidia, kepler, k6000, gk110
Earlier this week, NVIDIA updated its Quadro line of workstation cards with new GPUs with GK104 "Kepler" cores. The updated line introduced four new Kepler cards, but the Quadro 6000 successor was notably absent from the NVIDIA announcement. If rumors hold true, professionals may get access to a K6000 Quadro card after all, and one that is powered by GK110 as well.
According to rumors around the Internet, NVIDIA has reserved its top-end Quadro slot for a GK110-based graphics card. Dubbed the K6000 (and in line with the existing Kepler Quadro cards), the high-end workstation card will feature 13 SMX units, 2,496 CUDA cores, 192 Texture Manipulation Units, 40 Raster Operations Pipeline units, and a 320-bit memory bus. The K6000 card will likely have 5GB of GDDR5 memory, like its Tesla K20 counterpart. Interestingly, this Quadro K6000 graphics card has one less SMX unit than NVIDIA's Tesla K20X and even NVIDIA's consumer-grade GTX Titan GPU. A comparison between the rumored K6000 card, the Quadro K5000 (GK104), and other existing GK110 cards is available in the table below. Also, note that the (rumored) K6000 specs put it more in like with the Tesla K20 than the K20X, but as it is the flagship Quadro card I felt it was still fair to compare it to the flagship Telsa and GeForce cards.
|Quadro K6000
|Tesla K20X
|GTX Titan
|GK110 Full (Not available yet)
|Quadro K5000
|SMX Units
|CUDA Cores
|Memory Bus
The Quadro cards are in an odd situation when it comes to double precision floating point performance. The Quadro K5000 which uses GK104 brings an abysmal 90 GFLOPS of double precision. The rumored GK110-powered Quadro K6000 brings double precision performance up to approximately 1 TFLOPS, which is quite the jump and shows that GK104 really was cut down to focus on gaming performance! Further, the card that the K6000 is replacing in name, the Quadro 6000 (no prefixed K), is based on NVIDIA's previous-generation Fermi architecture and offers .5152 TFLOPS (515.2 GFLOPS) of double precision performance. On the plus side, users can expect around 3.5 TFLOPS of single precision horsepower, which is a substantial upgrade over Quadro 6000's 1.03 TFLOPS of single precision floating point. For comparison, the GK104-based Quadro K5000 offers 2.1 TFLOPS of single precision. Although it's no full GK110, it looks to be the Quadro card to beat for the intended usage.
Of course, Quadro is more about stable drivers, beefy memory, and single precision than double precision, but it would be nice to see the expensive Quadro workstation cards have the ability to pull double duty, as it were. NVIDIA's Tesla line is where DP floating point is key. It is just a rather wide gap between the two lineups that the K6000 somewhat closes, fortunately. I would have really liked to see the K6000 have at least 14 SMX units, to match consumer Titan and the Tesla K20X, but rumors are not looking positive in that regard. Professionals should expect to see quite the premium with the K6000 versus the Titan, despite the hardware differences. It will likely be sold for around $3,000.
No word on availability, but the card will likely be released soon in order to complete the Kepler Quadro lineup update.
NVIDIA Refreshes Quadro with Kepler
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | March 7, 2013 - 01:02 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: quadro, nvidia
Be polite, be efficient, have a plan to Kepler every card that you meet.
The professional graphics market is not designed for gamers although that should have been fairly clear. These GPUs are designed to effectively handle complex video, 3D, and high resolution display environments found in certain specialized workspaces.
This is the class of cards which allow a 3D animator to edit their creations with stereoscopic 3D glasses, for instance.
NVIDIA's branding will remain consistent with the scheme developed for the prior generation. Previously, if you were in the market for a Fermi-based Quadro solution, you would have the choice between: the Quadro 600, the 2000, the 4000, the 5000, and the 6000. Now that the world revolves around Kepler... heh heh heh... each entry has been prefixed with a K with the exception of the highest-end 6000 card. These entries are therefore:
- Quadro K600, 192 CUDA Cores, 1GB, $199 MSRP
- Quadro K2000, 384 CUDA Cores, 2GB, $599 MSRP
- Quadro K4000, 768 CUDA Cores, 3GB, $1,269 MSRP
- Quadro K5000, 1536 CUDA Cores, 4GB + ECC, $2,249 MSRP
This product line is demonstrated graphically by the NVIDIA slide below.
Clicking the image while viewing the article will enlargen it.
It should be noted that each of the above products have been developed on the series of GK10X architectures and not the more computationally-intensive GK110 products. As the above slide alludes: while these Quadro cards are designed to handle the graphically-intensive applications, they are designed to be paired with GK110-based Tesla K20 cards to offload the GPGPU muscle.
Should you need the extra GPGPU performance, particularly when it comes to double precision mathematics, those cards can be found online for somewhere in the ballpark of $3,300 and $3,500.
The new Quadro products were available starting yesterday, March 5th, from "leading OEM and Channel Partners."
A Workstation All-in-One
While consumers know HP for its substantial market share in the world of desktops and notebooks, perhaps more important to HP's bottom line is the company's server and workstation business. While we all know what servers do there might be some confusion about what a workstation is and what it does.
Workstations are usually defined as computers used by content creators and despite that fact that you burned that DVD of your family vacation, that's not quite the same. Brands like Xeon, Quadro, FirePro and Opteron are what you will find different in a workstation class computer versus a standard computer or laptop. And while technology enthusiasts will debate the actual differences between these components, the fact is that the market demands them.
Today we are taking a quick look at the HP Z1 Workstation, a unique workstation in that it resides in the shell of an all-in-one computer. But not just your normal AIO - this is a 27-in 2560x1400 display with a chassis that opens up for easy access to components inside.
Once we show you how the processor, SSD, Quadro graphics and everything else works inside I think you will see the appeal of this kind of system even for professionals that require the stability and software support of a workstation class device. Check out our Video Perspective below and then continue on for some more photos and benchmark results from the HP Z1 Workstation!
The side profile shows the HP Z1 is slim enough but still holds a lot of hardware.
You'll find two USB 3.0 ports, Firewire, audio connections and a card reader near the bottom.

NVIDIA Launches Maximus 2.0, Combining Kepler and Tesla
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | August 10, 2012 - 09:34 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: tesla, quadro, nvidia, maximus, kepler, gk110
At SIGGRAPH 2012 NVIDIA announced a refresh of its Maximus workstation platform technology. Maximus is a technology aimed at professionals that work with simulations or content creation and editing. The updated platform features a Tesla K20 accelerator card as well as a Kepler-based NVIDIA Quadro K5000 graphics card. The K5000 in particular has 4GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus and 1536 CUDA cores. NVIDIA states that the Quadro graphics card has 2.1 Teraflops of single precision compute power and draws 122 watts.
The K20 on the other hand features a GK110 Kepler GPU with Dynamic Parallelism and Hyper Q features that reportedly enable more than 1 Teraflop of peak double precision performance. Unfortunately, we do not know much more than that on the new K20 Tesla card as the exact specifications are still listed as "to be announced." It is slated for a Q4 2012 release.
The Quadro K5000 workstation GPU
Beyond the hardware itself, the company's Maximus platform has received software support from several high-profile software companies and system integrators. Some of the companies that certify and support Maximus are Adobe, Autodesk, Mathworks, and Paradigm among others. Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo, and Supermicro are OEMs that support the hardware and manufacture Maximus-powered workstations.
The Tesla K20 accelerator card.
The second-generation Maximus technology will be available in desktop workstations as early as December 2012. Further, the NVIDIA Quadro K5000 will be available for purchase as a separate discrete card in October 2012 for $2,249 (MSRP). The Tesla K20 will (for now) only be available integrated in a workstation, but NVIDIA lists the MSRP at $3,199.
More information on the NVIDIA Maximus refresh can be found in the company's press release.
