Lower Your Cholesterol
Ours is a pill-popping culture, so it's no surprise the default method for lowering high cholesterol levels is usually medicinal. Drugs are readily available. They're effective. And the pill approach requires very little effort. Yet studies show that diet and lifestyle changes can be as or even more powerful than many drugs. Better yet, these natural methods help lower heart disease risk without negative side effects. Employ one (or all five) of these strategies and chances are cholesterol numbers will improve. Already taking cholesterol-lowering meds? These changes can enhance a drug's effectiveness.
The ultimate goal: total cholesterol less than 200 mg/dl; 100 mg/dl or less for LDL or "bad" cholesterol, and 40 mg/dl or higher for HDL or "good" cholesterol.

Cara Sievers over at Phone+ Magazine did a great job with "Conferencing: Commodity or Fat Minute?" in the April issue. The article explores the current state of the opportunity for sales of conferencing solutions by telecom channel agents.
The article identifies areas of the market that have experienced commoditization and price pressure, and hinted at where the new opportunities (namely, providing solutions that can be customer-hosted for a greater long-term ROI) may lie in a maturing-but-still-hot market.
Finally, in a special section titled "Video: The Next Phase of Conferencing Sales", Cara included key insights from Digital Samba on the importance of video in modern business meetings, where so much of our our communications is non-verbal.

Sticker shock leads to new downtown district plan
MONTPELIER The city is looking for an additional funding source for its new downtown improvement district after learning that commercial building owners would otherwise face a heavier financial burden for the district than was projected.
The City Council plans to hold the first reading of a proposed ordinance establishing the district tonight.
Voters in March approved a one-time $75,000 allocation for the district based on a special assessment on the owners of all downtown buildings that are entirely or partly in commercial use.
But there are still a few snags in the funding to work out.
We had a lot of volunteers from Montpelier Alive who went out and made good faith estimates on what it would cost, said City Manager William Fraser. But in the end it was going to cost businesses more than what was anticipated, and we want to address that.
Fraser said that as the city began looking at property values in the district, it became clear the entire $75,000 could not be assessed against owners without increasing their tax rate by 10 cents. Advocates of establishing the district had offered a rate of 4.5 cents in their publicity materials.
Now the city is looking to two revenue sources for the $75,000. The first $40,000 will be raised through assessing a 5 cent tax on commercially used property throughout the district.
Fraser did not have a final figure on the number of buildings that would affect.
As for the $35,000 balance, the city hopes to use an expected increase in the states payment in lieu of taxes. Should that additional PILOT funding not reach $35,000, Montpelier Alive has said it will make up the shortfall this year out of the groups own resources.
The state makes payments in lieu of taxes to communities statewide where it owns significant nontaxable property.
The city expects to receive at least $756,843 in PILOT funding this year that will go directly into the general fund. Under the proposal being put before the City Council, the next $35,000 in PILOT would go toward the downtown improvement district.
Fraser said there is no guarantee the additional $35,000 would become available. But he said he expected at least some, if not all, of the additional downtown funding could come through PILOT this year.
The $75,000, which could start being utilized in early July, is intended to improve the downtown area physically, through amenities such as banners, benches and parklets, and to develop and support longer-range plans to tout the city through website development and marketing.
The city will form a committee to oversee the spending of the money, and Montpelier Alive will manage the enterprise.
Fraser added that in the future the district budget proposal will be considered and adopted along with the rest of the city budget, but that it would probably remain a separate ballot item. It is also expected that after several years of funding, the district could be included in the citys charter.MORE IN Central VermontMIDDLEBURY According to WebMD, Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes a persons muscles ...

Regional Incidence of the Costs of Greenhouse Policy (ABSTRACT)
Wigle, R., & Snoddon, T.
published: 2007 | Research publication | Refereed Journals - Economics
Wigle, R., & Snoddon, T. (2007). "Regional Incidence of the Costs of Greenhouse Policy", Canadian Journal of Regional Science, June.
ABSTRACT: A regional CGE model of Canada is developed to estimate the effect on aggregate welfare and the welfare of individual provinces of achieving Canada's Kyoto target using alternative climate policies. We consider a domestic carbon tax, international permit trading, as well as the Liberal federal government's 2005 Project Green. Project Green (PG) includes a mix of tradable permits, covenants, sectoral exemptions as well as a heavy reliance on voluntary and targeted measures. The plan is similar in many respects to the Climate Change Plan (CCP) released in 2002.

Joseph Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI in 2005. Look back at his life from childhood through his papacy.
The life of Joseph Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI
Updated at 10:51 a.m. ET:
The pope announces he will step down on February 28 because of his failing health. TODAY's Matt Lauer speaks with NBC's Claudio Lavanga in Rome, who says the resignation "came as a shock," and George Weigel, NBC New Vatican consultant.
- April 16, 1927: Joseph Ratzinger is born in Marktl Inn, Bavaria.
- 1939: Enters the minor seminary in Traunstein, Germany.
- 1943: At the age of 16, he and members of his seminary class are drafted into the German anti-aircraft corps.
- 1945: Deserts the army and returns to Traunstein. He is briefly held by American forces in a prisoner of war camp. After his release, he re-enters the seminary.
- 1951: Ordained into the priesthood by Cardinal Faulhaber of Munich.

- Sept. 9-14, 2006: On a trip to his Bavarian homeland, he controversially quotes a 14th-century Byzantine emperor who said Islam had only brought evil to the world. He apologizes several days later after his remarks spark protests by Muslims around the world, saying he was misunderstood.
- Nov. 28-Dec. 1, 2006: Visits Turkey in a fence-mending mission following the angry Muslim reaction to his speech. He joins Istanbul's grand mufti in prayer facing Mecca at the Blue Mosque.
- July 13, 2007: Announces that the Vatican will be the world's first "carbon-neutral" state by planting a forest to offset carbon emissions and installing solar panels.
- Feb. 5, 2008: Changes a Good Friday prayer in Latin to delete a reference to Jews and their "blindness" -- but keeps the call for them to accept Jesus.
- April 15-20, 2008: Visits the United States for the first time as pope and celebrates Mass at Nationals Park in Washington D.C. He addresses the United Nations General Assembly in New York, prays at Ground Zero and celebrates Mass at Yankee Stadium. He also meets with victims of sexual abuse from the Boston Archdiocese.

Red Sox Hire Bobby Valentine Following the disaster that was Terry Francona's final days in Boston, the Red Sox went looking for the next manager of the future. After it looked like Dale Sveum was destined to become that guy, they (meaning Larry Lucchino) went and hired Bobby Valentine. It was Valentine's first job in the majors since 2002, and he led Boston to a 69-93 record; the club's worst since 1965. The Red Sox got off to another slow start, and Valentine lost the clubhouse early after calling out Kevin Youkilis in April. By mid-season it was a "toxic" clubhouse, and the team all but quit on Valentine. (Photo by Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)
Long Lockout In arguably the most disappointing story in all of sports in 2012, the NHL lockout robbed fans of seeing their favorite sport. The months of discussions didn't lead to much, pitting the owners against the players and leaving the fans without hockey after the league experienced record growth and revenues in the past few years. (Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images)
Losing Super Bowl XLVI Thirty other teams would have loved to be in the Patriots' position, but that doesn't make the pain of losing the Super Bowl feel any better. Wes Welker's dropped pass would've gone a long way to seal a Patriots victory, but instead Eli Manning drove the Giants down the field in an all-too-familiar scene for the Pats. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)
Game 7 OT Loss After winning the Stanley Cup in 2011, expectations were high for the Bruins heading into the 2012 playoffs. While fans knew a repeat would be incredibly difficult, they at least expected the B's to get past the Capitals in the first round. However the B's were eliminated by way of a painful Game 7 overtime winner in Boston. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)
Lebron's Big Game 6 The Celtics finished just one win away from their third NBA finals in five seasons, but they had a golden opportunity to get that win at home in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Instead, the Celtics forgot there was a game and lost 98-79 thanks to a 45-point explosion from LeBron James. As for Game 7, that didn't go all that well either for the Celtics… (Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images)
Ta-Ta, Timmy Following his 2011 season – which ended with a Stanley Cup, Conn Smythe and Vezina Trophy – Tim Thomas was a Boston sports legend. He fell out of many fan's favor, though, with his decision to skip the White House visit, his subsequent Facebook posts and his decision to sit out for the 2012-13 season, choosing to not honor his contract. The lockout has largely made the last part meaningless, but Thomas undoubtedly left Boston in as ugly a manner as possible. (Photo by Justin K. Aller/Getty Images)
Dancing Gronk The Patriots lost the Super Bowl, and everyone was upset about that. It was surprising, then, to see Rob Gronkowski dancing the night away just hours after the game. While some fans didn't think much of it, others who were disappointed in the wake of that painful victory didn't appreciate seeing Gronk partying it up in Indy. It became a major talking point for a while, and worst of all, it spawned the phrase "Summer of Gronk."
Theo Compensation It took four months for the Red Sox and Cubs to figure out what Boston would get in return for GM Theo Epstein, and all Boston ended up with was Chris Carpenter – a reliever that likely won't do much in the majors. Carpenter made eight appearances, allowing six runs off seven hits and 10 walks over six innings of work. At least the Cubs had a worse season than Boston, losing 101 games. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
Slow Start After following their Super Bowl trip with a solid offseason, the Patriots were expected yet again to be the best team in the league, with some folks going as far to predict 16-0 season to be a real possibility. So it was definitely a surprising low point to see the Patriots with a 1-2 record after three weeks, and a 3-3 record after six weeks. They turned it around after that with seven straight victories, but seeing the Patriots with a losing record was a rare sight in these parts. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)
Bard The Starter Moving Bard to the starting rotation was just one of the many failed experiments by the Red Sox this season. Bard went 4-6 with a 5.30 ERA in 10 starts in 2012, walking more batters (36) than he struck out (34) through his 54.1 innings of work. His last start came on June 3 in Toronto, when he walked six and allowed five runs over just 1.2 innings or work. He spent the rest of the year in the minors or bullpen with similar results. (Photo by Abelimages/Getty Images)
Not So Happy Birthday For Fenway 2012 was supposed to be a season of celebration with Fenway Park turning 100. The famous ballpark celebrated its centennial on April 20, with the Yankees in town and special throwback uniforms, but the Sox laid a stinker that wouldn't be saved by birthday cake – losing 6-2 thanks to five New York home runs. (Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images)
"Rock Bottom" The night that followed Fenway's birthday was even worse. The Red Sox held a 9-1 lead after six innings, but watched that lead slip away after allowing seven-run innings in the seventh and eighth. The Yankees scored 15-unanswered runs to walk away with a 15-9 win, and after the game Valentine said the Red Sox had hit "rock bottom." If he only knew… (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)
Ray Allen Takes His Talents To Miami Yes, it seemed as though the Celtics were always trying to deal Allen, and Allen himself was not happy with the fact Avery Bradley took his spot in the starting lineup. It was best for both sides to move on after Allen's five years in Boston, but it burns that he took less money to come off the bench for the Miami Heat. (Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images)
Beckett Goes Golfing After missing a scheduled start in April with a lat injury, Beckett created an uproar when he went golfing the next day. When asked about it, Beckett became very defensive and noted he only gets 18 off-days a year (minus that whole off-season thing), and what he did on those off-days were his business. In his next start, Beckett lasted just 2.1 innings and was booed off the mound by the Fenway faithful. (Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images)
Mutiny In Clubhouse The Red Sox players reportedly had a "heated" meeting with owners John Henry and Larry Luchhino on July 26, with Dustin Pedroia and Adrian Gonzalez the most vocal -- according to Yahoo Sports' Jeff Passan. Some Red Sox players went as far as saying they no longer wanted to play under Valentine, and the team – just a game under .500 at that point – went 20-43 the rest of the way. (Photo by Jeff Gross/Getty Images)
Sellout Streak Whether Fenway Park was full or not, the Red Sox' storied sellout streak continued in 2012. It's now up to a record 793 games, but the title needed to be amended when it was apparent there were plenty of good seats still available for many of the games. After some criticism, it was termed a "distribution streak," with tons of tickets available – on the cheap -- on the secondary market. (Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images)
Aceves Can't Close Aceves was thrust into the closer's role at the start of the season thanks to Andrew Bailey's thumb injury, a job he didn't want. Aceves prepared all off-season and spring training to be a starter, and was up-and-down as Boston's closer. He ended up 2-10 with 25 saves and eight blown saves for the season, and numerous late-season clashes with Valentine led to a three game suspension in late-August. (Photo by Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)
Poppin' PEDs The "Patriot Way" has come to mean different things throughout the year, and whike the idea of the Patriots as a shiny, perfect franchise may be an old one, failed drug tests are never good news. The Patriots had two players suspended for PEDs in 2012, Jermaine Cunningham and Brandon Bolden. The Patriots survived without them, and PEDs don't have the same stain in football as they do in baseball, but it was nevertheless a forgettable moment of the '12 season. (Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images)
Rondo's Suspensions Rajon Rondo is viewed by many as the future leader of the Boston Celtics, but he needs to actually be on the floor in order to lead. Rondo was suspended on three different occasions in 2012; twice in the 2012 season and once (so far) in the 2012-13 season. Rondo was punished twice for incidents with referees – throwing the ball at Sean Wright in February and bumping Marc Davis in Game 1 of the East Quarters vs. the Hawks – and then again this season for a fight with Brooklyn's Kris Humphries. While the suspensions haven't hurt the C's, Rondo's budding reputation may at some point. (Photo by Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)

Cities (San Francisco, U.S.A.; Mumbai, India) and even countries around the world (Ireland, Switzerland, and believe it or not, China) are beginning to ban or heavily tax single use plastic bags (the flimsy ones we get at the grocery store). Why?
Because plastic bags are made from petroleum (oil) and somewhere between 500 billion and a trillion bags are produced worldwide annually – another example of our dependence on oil.

Barrett had someone on staff charged with crime
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said in Thursday's debate with Gov. Scott Walker that during his years in public service, no one on his staff has ever been charged with a crime.
But in November 2010, Barrett's office receptionist Joseph N. Cantu pleaded guilty to two counts of battery and one count of disorderly conduct related to a fight with his ex-girlfriend.
Cantu was placed on unpaid leave after he was charged. He earned about $15,000 a year in the job and was 23-years-old at the time.
Walker's campaign spokeswoman Ciara Matthews is accusing Barrett of lying during the debate and says he owes people an apology.
Barrett's spokesman Phil Walzak says Barrett was clearly talking about senior political aides doing work to further their own political careers.

Recent News
From the Pit Box - Kansas Speedway
October 2, 2013
This season, 30-year-old Luke Lambert returned to the No. 31 team in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competition after spending four years as team engineer, working alongside crew chiefs Todd Berrier and Scott Miller. The No. 31 team scored three wins, 27 top-five and 61 top-10 finishes during the four-year stretch and made three appearances in the prestigious Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. In 2011, Lambert earned two top-five and five top-10 finishes in 17 Sprint Cup Series races as interim crew chief of the No. 31 team, making his debut on top of the pit box at the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The 2005 North Carolina State University mechanical engineering graduate served as crew chief on the No. 2 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Nationwide Series during the 2012 season, leading driver Elliott Sadler to four wins, four pole awards, 15 top-five and 24 top-10 finishes en route to a second-place finish in driver championship point standings.
Since taking over as the No. 31 Caterpillar/Cheerios Chevrolet SS crew chief for driver Jeff Burton, the team has scored two top-five and six top-10 finishes and sits 20th in the Sprint Cup Series driver championship point standings.
Lambert joined Richard Childress Racing shortly after graduating college as an engineer in September 2005.
Q: How does the team setup the No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet for Kansas Speedway?
A: "Kansas Speedway is a high-speed, 1.5-mile race track that was recently repaved and has a nice, smooth racing surface. The new pavement allows for the setups to be aggressive for high-speed downforce optimization. The corners also have a lot of grip so you focus on keeping the best edge through the corners while maintaining downforce optimization. Combining all of those elements together will give you the best lap time."
Q: How do the track conditions change during a race at Kansas Speedway?
A: "Typically, Kansas Speedway track changes are dependent on the weather. If it is a sunny afternoon, the car will lose overall grip and more sun can also make it free during a race, especially on corner entry. It is similar to most 1.5-mile race tracks across the country."
Q: What are the keys to success at Kansas Speedway?
A: "Track position is most important at Kansas Speedway. A strong qualifying effort is key and during the race, quick pit stops and staying out of traffic will give our Caterpillar team the best opportunity to be successful."

In order to experience as much of a dichotomy as possible, I've begun reading Joyce's Dubliners while still working on The Fountainhead.
In the second tale, "An Encounter", I encountered the passage: "He began to talk of the weather, saying that it would be a very hot summer and adding that the seasons had changed gready since he was a boy--a long time ago."
I think I can pretty well understand what it means from context, but I haven't found it in "the dictionary" or by googling. I suspect that it's Irish slang, being Joyce and all. Does anyone know anything about it?

I haven't read that story in years, but I'd say that the word meant greatly, but Joyce was writing it as the speaker pronounced it rather than as a typographical error....although that's possible, too, but I'd bet on the odd pronunciation.

Speaking of Joyce . . . since, well, we kind of are . . . what experiences have you all had with him? I haven't read too much yet, basically just the first two stories of Dubliners (I've read that it's best to start with his early works and go chronologically), but I'm not quite getting that epiphany that's supposed to be in each story. Is this because of a lack of knowledge about Irish culture, or it is really that complex? What do you think?

A good place to dip your feet in is 'A Portrait of ..', if you're going for his early works. I haven't read Dubliners, but Ulysses is a slog to say the least. I read it as best I could. It's a book I'll have to come back to though; I don't have the tools with which to adequately enjoy and comprehend it.

I agree that A Portrait of the Artist,,, is a proper vehicle into the Joycean realm--the atmosphere is all there, but the reader can penetrate it without any real disorientation. Ulysses and especially Finnegan's Wake demand much more of an investment , but are well worth the effort for anyone who loves words. There are some valuable books written by Joyce scholars, delving into the author's quirky genius with vocabulary.
Best of all for the reader just getting into Joyce is, I think, Dubliners. I find The Dead a deeply moving story. I also loved John Huston's filmed version. As I recall, it was his last movie--a wonderful epiphany.

I agree, ST, that Portrait of the Artist is the best introduction to Joyce. Better even than Dubliners. But by all means, Jazzo, once you've read Portrait, do try Ulysses. It's a masterpiece. Joyce's inventive use of the language is truly astounding. I'm not alluding just to the stream-of-consciousness technique, but to his use of words and style. There is a section (the one where Bloom visits the hospital where Mrs. Purefoy is lying in) where he starts in a sort of Ango-Saxon style, using no words with a derivation from anything other than Anglo-Saxon, then segues into a Middle English style, from there to Spencerian, then to late Elizabethan, etc., giving you a short historic tour of the English language. Then there is the part written like advertisements. Many lyrical passages, many linguistic leg-pulls and just having a good old time with language.

By default in WordPress MU, blogs can be username.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com/username/. But what if you want select blogs to have their own domain? It's actually easier than you think.
– install a domain mapping plugin
– park a domain
– map a blog to a domain
First, get the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin. NOTE: this domain mapping plugin only works with subdomain installs.
You can download it from inside WordPress MU using the plugin installer, but it will have to be moved from the plugins folder. In WPMU, there is another plugin folder called mu-plugins. This is for mu-specific plugins that will be run all the time. Plugin in this folder do not need to be activated and they will not show up in the Plugins list in the admin area.
Place the domain-mapping.php file in the mu-plugins folder.
There's another file included called sunrise.php. Place this in the wp-content folder.
The file gets run before most of WPMU and handles the domain requests. In order for it to be recognized, we now have to edit the wp-config.php file.
In your Cpanel, go to the File Manager, and find wp-config.php in the public_html folder. Click on the filename, and then click on the Edit File option on the right hand side.
Most of the way down the file, under the language options, will be a line that is commented out, meaning it won't run.
//define( 'SUNRISE', 'on' );
The two slashes (//) at the beginning of the line are what we need to remove.
define( 'SUNRISE', 'on' );
Save your changes. If you get an error, it will be because this file is created by the server on install, so you may not have permissions. Just ask support to make this change for you.
Before we map our domain to a blog, let's set up our second domain so it knows where to go.
Login to your domain registrar, and change domain2.com's nameservers to the same nameservers as your WPMU account. It will be something like ns102.wpwebhost.com & ns103.wpwebhost.com.
Now login to your control panel for your WPMU web account. In the main cPanel menu, scroll down to the Domains box. Click the ŌĆ£park a domainŌĆØ icon.
In the box, type in domain2.com, where domain2 is the domain you want to map. It should come back with a success. If not, you may have to wait a few minutes for the nameserver change to catch up.
Finally, we are almost at the best part. Login to the backend of the blog that you want to change the domain of.
(Using Donncha's plugin, if you map a domain from the admin area of the main blog, you will accidentally change the main blog's domain. This menu option is also available to the admin of the blog, not just Site Admins.)
Look under the Tools menu for the Domain Mapping sub-menu. It's pretty straightforward.
First, fill in the IP address of your site. You, as a site admin, will only have to do this once. We don't have to worry about the rest of the instructions, because when we parked our domain on top of our WPMU install, that took care of it.
Fill in the domain name (domain2.com) and save. The screen will refresh and show the domain name as active on this blog.
Since we are still on the subdomain, visit domain2.com to confirm that everything is working as it should. Now any attempts to visit the original subdomain will be redirected to domain2.com. You can continue these steps for each domain you would like mapped to a corresponding sub-blog.

When you say: "First, get the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin. NOTE: this domain mapping plugin only works with subdomain installs."
I pressume that means this will not work with http://wordpress.caryacademy.org/subsite.
It only works with http://subsite.caryacademy.org/, right?
Thanks, as always.
I have a headache just reading this
Really nice article, i read entries blog afternoon then add it to my bookmarks and wait for your next article, i plan follow as you.
Thanks so much
decha kunla
Nice work,man…have submit to my Linkin account. More of my friends will see this post…great…They will interested it…Thanks.
i've got this installed and wp mu now reacts to domain2.com, however if i want to access the dashboard, it simply redirects to domain2.com/wp-login.php. I've also got BP installed and can see that this blog's user is perfectly logged in, I just can't access the dashboard – any suggestions?
finally got it working by completelye starting from the ground up again…
This is awesome. I'm wondering, though, if there is any sort of plugin (even if it's premium) that automates it a little more? For example, if I as the admin must go into cPanel and park the domain, I might as well do all of the domain set up for the new blogs. Otherwise, they're doing half the work and I'm doing half, and it's likely to get messed up.
Is there any way to hide that plugin from the users, so that they cannot go in and modify the settings once they are set by me? I'm thinking that I would rather just have the whole thing blind to them – just give them a place to specify the domain they want, tell them the name servers and then do everything for them.
I have a hosting account at godaddy – abc.com i added a new domain xyz.com and created folder – xyz
I installed wordpress in the xyz folder and pointed the domain to the same.
Now when i open xyz.com it is opening but shows loading from abc.com in the bottom plus when i open any other link it shows the root directory – abc.com/xyz
What are the steps to rectify this ?
Its hard to believe this has to be such a difficult task with WPMU – its such a commonly requested feature that it should just be built in by default.
reat Resource! I am adding your blog to my favorites, given my interest in finding domain names. One of the sites that helped me find great name suggestions was http://www.squadhelp.com. I got 400+ domain name suggestions in 2 days for just $50. They engage people across the world who submit ideas – and the best idea wins the award amount. It sure beats the time and energy I would have spent myself to come up with names. You might want to check them out
I get the Domain Mapping Configuration I put the information in. When I hit save, nothing happens.
I check the database and there was nothing entered in the wp_domain_mapping or wp_domain_mapping_logins tables.
howdy, many thanks.
Yeh I have same problem as dwheeler. Whan I click to add domain, I get note that domain has added, but it not and db table is empty.
Hi Andrea,
I have used WordPress MU for my multiple blosgs. Since all these blogs are private my users would need to enter http://www.qm.commons.com/wp-login/php This looks quite cumbersome for the users. Instead Can i use just "www.qm.aucommons.com" It would be easy for them. I have tried stealth login plugin but it does not work with MU 2.9.2. I need your help in fixing this !!!
define( ŌĆśSUNRISEŌĆÖ, ŌĆśonŌĆÖ );
on my wp-config.php……….
should I add?
Good blog post, I will be sure to save this post in my Del.icio.us account. Have a good day.
Hi, good post!
I have a problem installing addon domains in WordPress 3.0 beta 1 with this plugin.
I installed the plugin, enabled a network (based on folders), edited the wp-config and htaccess file, set the host IP in the mapping plugin.
But now I don't see the part where I can map the domain names. I only can enter the server ip adress, or a cname. And i see 2 options about redirecting… I configured this too, properly.
It looks I am missing the last part, adding domains… I just see no input boxes or page where I can map/add domains to folder/the main blog.
What could there be wrong? Thank you in advance.
@Tia – automating the parking of domains is a server/dns issue. WP plguisn can't do that part.
but yes, it's possible. You need at least a vps though.
@John – log in to the admin area of the blog you want to map. Go to Tools -> Domain Mapping. you can't map domains from the main blog with this plugin.
I am using WordPress MU 2.9.2 with domain mapping plugiin.
but i am facing www striping problem. Can any one know that how i can solve it?
I was having problems getting the domain mapping plugin working on 3.0 beta2. My problem was not having
define( 'SUNRISE', 'on' );
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
The same problem was also stopping supercache as well, with define( 'WP_CACHE', true ); needing to be infront as well.
Hope this helps someone. (in retrospect the supercache troubleshooting guide does point out this potential error.
Sam + Andrea,
I'm also having difficulty getting it to run w/ 3.0
Are you going to update this and/or release a version for WP 3.0?
I was copy / pasting the line with notepad / MS text editor — and so the quote marks weren't copying correctly!
Now it seems to be fixed (hopefully, I just have to wait for cnames to resolve
Not sure why, but domain mapping not showing up in the tools submenu of my 3.0 site…
Should I create an mu-plugins directory in wp-3.0?
@Brian This works with WP 3.0 you just have to do a little editing. First off, install the plugin like usual, I used the auto-installer.
– Add define( ŌĆśSUNRISEŌĆÖ, ŌĆśonŌĆÖ ); to the wp-config.php file.
– Place sunrise.php in the wp-includes folder
– The plugin must then be activated for each individual site. A "network-activate" won't work for some reason.
– Once activated, follow the general use instructions.
As a side note for those looking, if you are on a shared host, no only should your domains be pointed to the same IP (which should be default on a shared host), they must be directed to the root folder of your install location.
I hope this helps!
@Brian & @joshua WP 3.0 fully supports the use of the mu-plugins folder. You may need to create it. I recommend you place the plugin in there.
.-= Andrea_R┬┤s last blog ..Testing the automatic upgrade to WordPress 3.0 =-.
Hi Andrea
Great Plug in Having a problem setting it up.
my main site is phpbbmodinstalls.com that's my main account I have a sub directory bloginshere.com that the domain bloginsphere.com is pointing too. I'm tring to point n2rga.com into a blog setup inside of bloginsphere.com (n2rga.bloginsphere.com) when I go to n2rga.com it loads up my main site phpbbmodinstalls running regular wp 2.92
.-= Mitch┬┤s last blog ..Tutorial 4 =-.
I have installed this plugin and configured, but still can't access the backend of the subdomain. How are you supposed to activate domain mapping on the subdomain if you can't login to that subdomains backend?
Very confusing…
.-= Auz┬┤s last blog ..The God of Beer =-.
I do not have the option of parking my domain in cPanel. I have access to using addon-domains and alias-domains.
Will either one of these do the same trick?
Andrea, this is a great post – but I'm having a little problem you might be able to help with.
After installing the plugin, I get the following message on the 'Domain Mapping' menu:
Warning! This plugin will only work if WordPress MU is installed in the root directory of your webserver. It is currently installed in ŌĆÖ/idx/ŌĆÖ.
Is there a solution to this? Without moving the blog back to the root?
After many hours of pulling my hair out. This worked to get domain mapping working correct from SAM.

Zoom out dumbass.!
IŌĆÖve written a really user friendly guide that takes you from Network creation to Domain
Is there some way to run both subdomains AND folders on the same installation? I have subdomain set to false, using the domain mapping plugin, and none of the links work, they all default back to the root blog.
I obviously have done something, because I don't see "domain mapping" in my Tools Section.
my initial site shows up fine, my second one shows up "as just text" not the templated version
i'm stumped now, so any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated
We are actually facing exactly a similar problem, posted by uniq. Once we follow the steps to install the domain mapping plugin, it simply doesnŌĆÖt load the dashboard. Starting from the ground up again is not an option for us as we just migrated to wp 3.0.1 and just cant understand the issue behind this.
Any suggestions????
I have successfully enabled multisite, installed MU Domain Mapping and added a second site mapped to a new domain. Everything is working fine, but I have a question about privacy:
My original site is my business site and the new site is entirely personal, and supposed to be anonymous. However, when you watch the browserŌĆÖs (firefox) path to the new site while it loads (in the address bar at the bottom), you can see it hit the original site address just before the plugin maps it to the new site domain. Occasionally when the servers are busy you can see ŌĆ£waiting for originalsite.comŌĆØ before it gets mapped.
Is there any way to keep visitors to the new site from ever seeing the address of the original site?
Just went through the whole process of creating a Network with 3.0.1 and when I added Domain Mapping and activated it for the network I get the following:
The domain mapping plugin only works if the site is installed in /. This is a limitation of how virtual servers work and is very difficult to work around.
Is there a work around for this?
@Pat – if your install is not in the root of the site, and is in a folder (with the folder name being in the URL) then, no.
No workaround.
.-= Andrea_R┬┤s last blog ..Turn off Sitewide Tags on special blogs =-.
I have done exactly the same as your instructions, but the domain mapped is returned "Apache is functioning normally".
Please kindly let me know how to solve this issue?
Many thank
.-= Nguyen Khanh Lam┬┤s last blog ..Hello world! =-.
You're the first one to explain that in such clear & easy way
Thank you!
I installed wordpress in the xyz folder and pointed the domain to the same.
not working for me either…
I used a different tutorial (otto's) where he has me set an A name instead of going the name server route… worked fine… BUT I can still hit the site from the subdomain url as well as the new mapped url, my settings are:
Remote Login
X Permanent redirect (better for your blogger's pagerank)
X User domain mapping page
Redirect administration pages to site's original domain
Disable primary domain check. Sites will not redirect to one domain name. May cause duplicate content issues.
do those look okay? not sure if this is an issue with the new version of wordpress or not?
figured it out, I'm going to post here to maybe save others countless hours of time… So if you're a newbie to the network setup you might not understand what it means to 'network activate a plugin' when I went through that part of the tutorial I just activated the plugin on my main site's plugins page (since it was there) and moved on. Instead of doing that you MUST active it for the network by going into the super admin area and then plugins…

I was about to give up on the whole idea of one core set of wordpress files and managing multiple domains for clients when I came across this post.. many thanks for the run through.
I'm having problems accessing the second blog after domain mapping. I try to login or access through the admin dashboard but it keeps looping back to the login screen. Has anyone overcome this problem? http://diamantemerchant.co.nz thanks.
Andrea, I have the following situation.
Domain with hosting and setup network website (subfolder setup).
Other domain at another company, no hosting, only DNS tools and mailbox.
I want to use the other domain. I set up a new website in a subdomain of my main site. DNS forwards monas.nl to monas.gangleri.nl, but I want monas.nl to work like a website of its own, so monas.nl/posttitle rather than monas.gangleri.nl/postttitle.
I have tried everything, from 301 redirects to rewrite, editing httpd.conf to DNS settings, but all to no avail. As a trick to try mapping, I have turned the new website into a network and tried to use the plugin, but again, to no avail. Of course I have a network in a subdomain, does that mean mapping using the domain isn't going to work? Also, I have no idea what I have to do in the DNS settings of either host.
The only thing left that I can think of is to make a new subsite on the main site and only map that one, but mapping doesn't work with a subfolder network, or does it? Besides, I would prefer both websites to be separated since I allow registation on the new site, so I set it up with a different database and a different set of WP files.
Many thanks for the blog it helped me a lot.
Hi Andrea
i guess there has been version updates since you published and some screen captures are not corresponding to the WP 3.4.2version and/or Multisite Domain Mapping plugin 0.5.4.2
concretely when you say "Look under the Tools menu for the Domain Mapping sub-menu. ItŌĆÖs pretty straightforward."
on the Network Admin dashboard the side menu bar is: Sites/Users/themes/Plugins/settings/updates
but no "tools"
but under "Settings" there is /Network Settings/network setup/Domain Mapping/domains
I guess you refer to Domain Mapping > Server IP Address: & >Server CNAME domain:

Laurier Professor Marta Marín-Dòmine to speak about documentary filmmaking
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Feb 27/13
Lauriers MA in Cultural Analysis and Social Theory (CAST) program presents a CAST Faculty Research Colloquium Presentation by Marta Marín-Dòmine, director of the Centre for Memory and Testimony Studies and associate professor of Languages and Literatures. The talk will take place at 1:30 p.m. Friday, March 1 in DAWB 2-105.
Marín-Dòmine's talk is titled A case study on the use of audiovisual archive as an act of transmission: The making of Jewish memory 1930/1942. Quartier Marolles. Brussels, and is based on a documentary she produced, directed and wrote.
Both her talk and the film interrogate the way that documentaries develop a series of perspectives that question the illusion of objectivity. The use of archival images follows the ethical trend to give voice and body to the testimony. From this perspective, a multidisciplinary approach that considers the visual memories of testimonies is at play: memories not only counterbalance official history, but also create new (film) narratives that might be inserted in the collective memory of the present. In a way, the documentary film that departs from the archive creates in itself an event as it shows the interrelation of memory, fiction, and narration.
Questions that will be discussed include: the current status of testimony, the role of emotion into the construction of film memories, and the alliance between literature, art and archives.

A new cellular broadband provider with plans to harness the radio spectrum immediately adjacent to that used by the Global Positioning System (GPS) could end up jamming GPS signals and threaten the viability of satellite navigation systems across the U.S., according to a new industry group formed to protect GPS interests.
The Coalition to Save Our GPS (www.saveourgps.org) was formed after LightSquared Inc. (www.lightsquared.com) received a tentative license in January from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to use the 1525 to 1559 megahertz (MHz) spectrum for its hybrid land and satellite-based high-speed broadband system. LightSquared officials have said that its system will include 40,000 land-based transmitters, in addition to a satellite already orbiting over the U.S.
The FCC charged LightSquared to work with the GPS industry to resolve the question of whether and its amplified signals would interfere with relatively low-powered GPS satellite transmissions. Coalition members are participating with LightSquared to evaluate interference issues, but have criticized the FCC for issuing the preliminary license prior to extensive testing.
Experimental testing by Garmin, the large consumer and aviation GPS company, showed that a typical consumer level GPS device began being jammed at a distance of about 3.6 miles from a simulated high-power cellular transmitter. It lost its fix at just over a half mile from the transmitter. An aviation receiver began being jammed at a distance of 13.8 miles and lost its fix at 5.6 miles. LightSquared officials said the Garmin test transmitter did not use the filter technology it plans to harness to eliminate interference.
"LightSquared's plans to build up to 40,000 ground stations transmitting radio signals one billion times more powerful than GPS signals as received on earth could mean 40,000 'dead spots' – each miles in diameter – disrupting the vitally important services GPS provides," according to a coalition statement released in mid-March.
Several agricultural companies and associations are part of the coalition, including the Association of Equipment Manufacturers, Case New Holland, Caterpillar Inc., Deere & Company and Trimble.
The coalition is asking GPS users to contact the FCC with their concerns about GPS interference. Instructions are available at www.saveourgps.org/voice-your-concern.

Cup Final Newspaper Coverage
Posted 20 August 2010 - 01:34 PM
The Challenge Cup has a long and proud history fascinating to anyone interested in the sporting traditions of this country.
The final is a 90000 sell-out and is to be televised live in HD by BBC1 and broadcast, I presume, in many other countries around the globe.
How much space will be afforded to the game via our dwindling crop of rugby league writers? Will this weekend's Sunday Times employ somebody who loves rugby league as much as it is hated by Stephen Jones to devote 2 broadsheet pages as has happened in the past for rugby union's relatively pale imitation?
Will the Guardian's Andy Wilson take this opportunity to feature players - preferably ones he believes define what makes rugby league a very special game and not returnees from other sports - before coaches as he so often appears to do?
Our great players have never received the recognition bestowed so casually upon athletes representing sports traditionally much less popular than rugby league - opportunities such as the one forthcoming are not to be spurned.
I trust also that Chris Irvine is able to sign off from his stint on the Times with a flourish by questioning as to why the company that invests money in televising (high-rating) rugby league refuses barely to acknowledge its existence in its own newspapers? I hope he gives them both barrels - while saluting the likes of, say, Morley and Sinfield or Myler and Burrow...

Join Rebtel for cheap international calls
Posted 21 August 2010 - 05:08 PM
If the England side win the Womens RU WC then it may well do. The point I'm trying to make is that RU has built national recognition through the international game. This has a knock on effect for the rest of the sport. Whether we like it or not, RU is much more of a national sport at all levels - pro and amateur. It's no media conspiracy, it's just that RU is more popular.
But why do RL fans constantly feel the need to compare the sport with RU? County Championship cricket matches get plenty of coverage, yet hardly anyone goes to those games. Should we complain about that? The amount of coverage given to tennis is totally out of sync with the interest in it, but does anyone complain about that? Maybe we should starting asking what the RFL and the clubs do to help push the game to the national media.

Hauenstein Center hosts expert on D-Day, WWII
Posted on May 05, 2014
D-Day marked the commencement of the final campaign of World War II, and the Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies at Grand Valley State University will host best-selling author and award-winning military historian Rick Atkinson to tell the story of the infamous battle from the perspective of participants at every level.
Atkinson, author of New York Times best-seller "Guns at Last Light: The War in Europe 1944-45," will describe the bold gamble that set the pace for the rest of the war from the perspective of presidents and generals to war-weary lieutenants and terrified riflemen. Atkinson will also discuss the devastating cost of the global war and the enormous effort required to secure an Allied victory.
The presentation, part of the Hauenstein Center's American Conversations Series, will take place at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 13, in the Eberhard Center on Grand Valley's Pew Grand Rapids Campus.
An RSVP is required for the event at hauensteincenter.org.
Atkinson was a Pulitzer-prize winning newspaper reporter before turning to writing military history. He has published six books, including narrative accounts of several American wars. He wrote "The Liberation Trilogy" which focused on the American role of liberation of World War II-era Europe, and was awarded the prestigious Pritzker Military Library Literature Award for Lifetime Achievement in Military Writing in 2010.

Robert's Rules of Order
PARKERSBURG – How public meetings should be conducted was the focus of an informational meeting Thursday evening.
A representative from the West Virginia State Auditor's Office held a review of Robert's Rules of Order, the set of rules that govern how public meetings should be conducted.
The meeting, held in city council chambers at the Parkersburg Municipal Building, was attended by city officials from Parkersburg, Vienna and North Hills, Wood County Commission, Parkersburg Utility Board, Parkersburg Board of Zoning Appeals, Mid-Ohio Valley Transit Authority and the general public.
John Sorrenti of the West Virginia State Auditor's Office discussed parliamentary procedure, rules of order, order of business, procedures for large and small boards, what to include in the minutes of a meeting, making and approving motions, the abilities of a chairman to maintain order, points of order, recessing, point of privilege and amendments.
Henry Martyn Robert, who developed Robert's Rules of Order, was a military engineer in the U.S. Army from Ohio. Without any warning, he was asked to preside over a public meeting at a church. He realized he had no way of doing that. He studied parliamentary law and became an expert and wrote the rules in 1876.
Sorrenti has experience as a city councilman for four years in Weirton, a county commissioner for 18 years in Hancock County and has served on other boards.
"I have managed meetings where there have been irate citizens and meetings where there have been irate councilmen," he said.
Organizations need rules to be able to effectively conduct their business and accomplish their purposes, Sorrenti said.
"Parliamentary procedure is a set of rules for the conduct of meetings that allows everyone to be heard and to make decisions without confusion," Sorrenti said. "That is the whole reason for having a set of rules.
"Rules and procedures should assist a meeting, not inhibit a meeting."
All members of a body have equal rights, privileges and obligations, with a chairman to ensure everyone attending a meeting is treated equally, Sorrenti said. Everyone has the right to be understood.
Sorrenti discussed how organizations can move meetings along more quickly when there is rarely objections to items like the approval of minutes. He discussed the need to put special speakers toward the beginning of a meeting rather than conduct business and then get to the speaker.
He talked about tabling action where they have to appear on the agenda of the next meeting under unfinished business and postponing motions indefinitely so they won't appear again on upcoming agendas.
Sorrenti discussed how negative motions can create confusion where people think they are voting against something but technically are voting in favor of it without realizing. A board member may not want to do something but can still make a motion for something and then vote against it, he said.
"Always keep the motions in the positive," he said.
Sorrenti said only two amendments should be presented to any action. Any more and it would require to withdraw the motion and make a new one with clearer language to clarify what was being said, he added.
"Two amendments is as far as it goes," he said. "You don't go any further than that."

Far from being the harbingers of obesity, virginity, death, and destruction that many people (still) insist they are, video games have been shown to be beneficial in many surprising ways. We've documented this before, and we're about to do it again, since science continues to find ways that video games are helping the species become better, stronger, and faster (figuratively, anyway).
5You Can Learn Fascinating Things About the Economy from MMOs
Jupiterimages/Comstock/Getty Images
You wouldn't think you could learn a lot about society just by watching a person play a video game (other than that some members of society just cannot play FPS games without continually jumping around like jackasses). But experts are finding that if you want to model economic theories, just find a massively multiplayer online game and follow the imaginary gold. Right now, there are economists who are actually being paid to study how the digital currency flows in the world of fantasy MMOs.
First of all, if you don't play these games, you have no idea how advanced the economies are -- it's not just, "Kill the monster, grab the gold he drops." There are banks and banking scandals -- a 2009 Eve Online bank collapsed when its shady owner made off with all of the bank's money, trading it for real-life cash and then disappearing into the darkness (aka deleting his account and clicking over to porn). There are even stock markets -- in 2007, an unregulated Second Life stock market experienced a rapid rise-and-crash that saw $145,000 in investments quickly reach $900,000, then drop by 71 percent just as fast.
Jupiterimages/BananaStock/Getty Images
"Crap, my furry porn town is hemorrhaging money to the straight-up beastiality village."
That's the sort of thing that is interesting to people like Eyjolfur Gudmundsson and Yanis Varoufakis, economists who have been hired by game companies CCP Games and Valve, respectively, to manage their games' economic models. They've since discovered that these games serve as the ultimate financial experiment, allowing experts to observe how markets fluctuate, survive, and thrive in circumstances that can't be duplicated in the real world.
After all, you can't just simulate economic theory on a computer and see how it goes -- real economies are made up of human beings, and it's pretty much impossible for a computer model to guess what they're going to do. And you can't just try shit in the real world to see what happens -- not even tiny little booger countries like Andorra would be cool about becoming an economical petri dish that may or not result in total depression. But in a gaming world, you have millions of players dealing with virtual currency and goods -- things that are totally real (to them) and cause them to make decisions accordingly. Players work for in-game "gold" (by killing monsters or crafting items), and, therefore, that gold represents their labor ... just like real money
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
Given, the cash drawer has to be super freakin' sturdy.
And experts say that researching all of this has uncovered several fascinating tidbits. For instance, MMO banks tend to operate on a full-reserve system, where 100 percent of the customers' money is kept in the bank at all times. This is opposed to the real world fractal-reserve system, where physical cash can be lent out willy-nilly whenever deemed necessary. It's pretty much an honor system economy (honorconomy?) that, according to Gudmundsson, "increases the burden on banks to be diligent and efficient." Shockingly, most virtual bankers stay on the up-and-up, and virtual money is trusted to be in safe hands.
And the libertarians out there will like reading about how, in all of these cases, the games' libertarian/anarchic financial models caused their economies to recover from crashes much more rapidly than in the real world (as did things like, say, the lack of a minimum wage). You can argue among yourselves what that means (after all, it's also legal to just totally murder people inside a video game, and stick your balls in their face), but it's good information either way.
Teflon codpiece sales just went through the roof.
4MMOs Provide Management Experience You Can't Get Anywhere Else
Digital Vision./Digital Vision/Getty Images
Wait a second ... if these games have fully functioning economies, could a person actually learn to be a business manager or executive, just by organizing World of Warcraft raids and fighting EVE Online space battles? Absolutely.
These games require cooperation with dozens or (in the case of EVE) even thousands of teammates. And we don't mean cooperation that only helps in the game world (like knowing that slaying Gruul the Dragonkillers requires 12 players to simultaneously cast Magic Missile on his dick) -- we're talking about managing real people, on a day-to-day basis. Remember, that even in the game world, these are human beings -- getting them to cooperate means motivating them, resolving personality conflicts, inspiring their confidence in you as a leader -- the whole bit.
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
"Let's get focused, guys. I'm not hearing the level of racism that I know we're capable of."
"Okay, Cracked, then why don't any of those loser WoW players become CEOs?"
You mean like Stephen Gillett, who became Chief Information Officer of Starbucks before his 30th birthday? He credits playing MMO's with turning him into a better, and more motivated, worker. To him, organizing a Monday morning staff meeting gets his blood pumped just as much as organizing a raid on the Lich King. Or Trey Ratcliff, the obsessive EVE player who became CEO and co-founder of his own game company. Hell, Harvard Business Review did a whole article on the subject, referring to these games as "leadership's online labs."
Ableimages/Photodisc/Getty Images
"Great job. Now call her a whore so she knows who runs the show."
It makes perfect sense, if you think about it -- you can put somebody through business school to teach them economic theory, give them a dozen classes on psychology and even give them an internship at a Fortune 500 company making copies for the summer. But where in the real world will they learn how to manage a team of a hundred people? Where would they get the experience of communicating and coordinating with dozens of other humans, from all over the world, who each have the option to leave if they're not happy with how the "project" is being run?
So you can make fun of how impulsive, immature, or entitled gamers are, but think about what that says about the person who is able to successfully get a thousand of them to peacefully cooperate. Are you honestly saying that person couldn't figure out how to manage a room full of telemarketers?

Bill to open Vermont police records advances in Legislature
MONTPELIER The Vermont Senate unanimously approved a bill this week that would require police to release investigation records that are currently not available to the public, cheering open-government advocates who have long criticized law enforcement with ducking public scrutiny by operating behind closed doors.
The bill, which was crafted by the Senate Judiciary Committee, passed 29-0 in a roll call vote, after State Sen. Dick Sears, chairman of the committee, told lawmakers that the bill was a big deal, according to Allen Gilbert, executive director for the Vermont chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. It now heads to the State House of Representatives, where lawmakers are expected to take it up before the session expires.
People have to realize, the position were all in now is that nobody has access to any criminal investigation records, even if the case is closed, or the suspect is dead, Gilbert said in an interview this week. Were currently in a total shroud of secrecy situation, and the bill would move away from that.
The bill was initially proposed by Gov. Peter Shumlin and has been touted by open-government advocates as a needed dose of accountability for law enforcement. Under current law, police typically assert a blanket right to keep the records of all investigations sealed. Under the bill, records would generally be made public absent a specific finding of harm that their release would cause. That would bring Vermont law in line with federal laws.
But supporters did not get everything they wanted.
At the urging of the Vermont League of Cities and Towns and other groups, the bill included stipulations that allow the names of witnesses and victims of crimes to be withheld.
The Shumlin administration and the ACLU opposed the exemptions, deeming them unnecessary. The proposed law included protections for unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. Moreover, it could potentially allow authorities to withhold names of people targeted by police use of force that is later deemed illegal.
Theres always a danger when you create a categorical exemption, Gilbert said. There might be times when who a witness is can be important to how you understand a case. Wed rather have a court determine whether or not to release a witness or victims name rather than say You cant do it, categorically.
Additionally, the Shumlin administration voiced concern that the new protections could allow not only people, but companies and agencies to have their identities redacted from police records.
Vermonts public records law, which generally allows citizens to access all manner of government records, contains an exemption for records of detection and investigation of crime.
That exemption has routinely been invoked by police when refusing to release files from cases that have been closed, or never resulted in criminal charges. For example, Hartford police, backed by Sorrells office, declined to release files from two incidents in which officers were alleged to have used excessive force against citizens who were later found not to have committed any crimes.
Critics argue the current law allows the police to operate with little oversight, and leads to the Vermont attorney generals office clearing officers of criminal wrongdoing without showing the public how they reached those conclusions.
Several legal experts who, at the request of the Valley News last year, reviewed a file of a Vermont State Police investigation into Hartford police officers accused of assaulting a naked and unconscious Wilder man said that state police appeared to soft-pedal the inquiry and only spotlight facts that reflected favorably upon the actions of police officers. (The Valley News obtained the file from confidential sources police declined to release the file, citing the legal exemption.)
Under the bill, those files would now likely be released, advocates say.
The bill will likely be reviewed by the House Judiciary Committee and the House Government Operations Committee before it moves to the full House for a vote.
State Rep. Donna Sweaney, D-Windsor, the chairwoman of the government operations committee, said she is in favor of making police records more transparent.
If youre speaking about individual police records or investigative records ... we need to have a standard procedure to say yes, they are open records, Sweaney said in an interview.
