Should a need arise with the Texas Rangers, first baseman/outfielder Brad Hawpe is ready.
The eight-year veteran had Tommy John surgery on his left elbow Aug. 5. He has since built up the arm strength and with that comes confidence while playing for Double-A Frisco in the Rangers' minor league system. He's more than nine months removed from the major surgery, and there are no limitations.
"I was nervous making throws," Hawpe said about the way he felt about seven or eight months after the surgery. "Late in the game, if we were up by one run or something, I would look at manager (Steve Buechele) and say, 'Hey, you know, if a guy is on third and one out and a fly ball to right, I may not be your guy just yet to be able to throw him out,' because in the past that was my calling card.
"That's not a question for me anymore."
Hawpe was a guest last weekend on Rangers Magazine on ESPN Dallas 103.3 FM. He said there wasn't a specific moment when he felt he was over the mental and physical obstacles of elbow surgery. However, he credits his Frisco teammates for encouraging him to play long toss, which is something he used to do three days a week pre-surgery.
The 32-year-old has played in 893 minor league games, mostly with the Colorado Rockies organization, but he has also played for San Diego and Tampa Bay. Hawpe, a Metroplex resident, is a career .276 hitter with 124 home runs and 490 RBIs. Three of those home runs came as a pinch-hitter.
Getting back to his "calling card," Hawpe led the National League with 16 outfield assists in 2006 and was second the year before with 10.
While Hawpe is trying to get back to the big leagues, he has the pleasure of being a teammate of highly touted prospects who are looking to get to the majors for the first time. When I brought up Jurickson Profar, Hawpe delivered quite the scouting report.
"Most 19-year-olds are what, freshman in college? Most kids can't handle the level he's at and the attention he gets. That kid is going to be incredible," Hawpe said.
"I don't know how else to put it. He's going to be a star, in my opinion. Not just because of his talent. His talent is off the charts. His work ethic is good. His mindset is right. He's a very positive kid, but what people may not know about him when they are looking at stats and trying to figure this and that out about him is he's very intelligent. He's a very, very, very smart kid. For a 19-year-old to carry himself and handle himself like he does, I mean I am thoroughly impressed by that kid."
Hawpe talked more about his health, the difference between his athletic ability before and after surgery, his relationship with the Rangers in spring training and thereafter, playing for and the importance of a manager like Buechele and the difference in minor league ball in present day compared to his rise to the big leagues.
He also talked about a major key to Rangers success. Listen to the podcast and find out what he thinks.

Open Internship opportunities
CISA is accepting intern applications for the spring 2017 semester and summer 2017. If you are interested in applying for a fall internship, please send your resume and a cover letter to Jennifer Williams, Office Manager.
"CISA restored my faith in being able to find a place to work where people have such similar values to me. Thank you everyone at CISA and Professor Greeley for making this internship happen. It was a priceless learning experience that I will carry with me forever."
Gary Pillion, Spring 2013
"In my time at CISA, I learned an amazing amount about the local food system itself, agriculture infrastructure, and the communication, marketing, advocacy and public outreach to both farmers and community members that makes their work possible. I feel better equipped and excited to pursue a career in the non-profit world."
Anna Luberoff, Summer 2011
CISA's summer 2016 Interns
Emilie helps with the Local Hero program, and gathers information about farmers' markets. She was born and raised in Whately, and is currently seeking a degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management. Right now she attends Greenfield Community College and plans on transferring to UMass Amherst in the fall. Having worked at a local farm stand for five years and a local restaurant for over a year, she has a strong passion for the importance of local food and farms.
Becca works with the Local Hero team to distribute resources to members, profile member restaurants, and research ways to increase wholesale distribution of food in the Pioneer Valley. Although originally from the Boston area, Becca now calls the Valley her home; an attachment that has deepened over the past two summers while working at Many Hands Farm Corps in Amherst. She is currently pursuing a degree in Geography at Vassar College with a correlate in Creative Writing and is excited for the opportunity to work and learn at CISA.
Ben dabbles in several different programs, working on outreach for SNAP & Save, making visits and recipe cards for Senior FarmShare, and doing interviews for the Restaurant Days campaign. After spending his first ten years in a small Georgia town called Rome, he bounced back and forth between Georgia and Northampton before settling in Northampton five years ago. Ben is currently attending Middlebury College. Going into his sophomore year, he is deciding between studying math, economics, or political science. He is excited to be able to work with CISA and learn about the inner workings of a successful nonprofit.
Julie is supporting our farmer's markets with culinary events and market programs. She has a strong background in farm and food systems having worked from "Farm to Plate" as a farmhand and natural food retail manager, in distribution sales, and as a culinary and ServSafe instructor. She brings a depth of passion for sourcing food locally. Her summer challenge to herself is to purchase all of her food from her CSA, and other area farms, by bicycle. A resident of Northfield, she has lived in the Pioneer Valley region for over 20 years, and is currently pursuing her Accounting Associates degree at Greenfield Community College.
Josh works on an exploratory project investigating the potential for collaborative approaches to local food purchasing between institutions of higher learning. He is from northern Vermont and after graduating from Hampshire College now splits his time between western Massachusetts and the Green Mountain State. At Hampshire, Josh studied agro-ecological engineering and agribusiness, with a focus on alternative and emerging topics in food systems development. After having experienced the outstanding work that CISA does as an outside community member he is excited to have the opportunity to work with such an amazing organization while contributing to such an innovative project.

During her first year at the helm of the lagging web giant, this outspoken CEO gave the online world plenty to talk about.
When she forged a deal for Microsoft to power searches on Yahoo.com in July, tech watchers voiced their disapproval -- and there's no telling yet whether her plan to refocus Yahoo on display ads, content, and mobile capabilities will pay off. But given her 83% positive rating, the wider blogosphere seems to embrace her gutsy, unapologetic style.

The Emerging Pro-Choice Majority
Abortion rights, were told, are our Great Divider. America is cleaved in two. Fifty unremitting percent on either side. There is no United States of America, only pro and anti choice America.
But what if thats not true? Or, more precisely, what if that wont be true for much longer?
The 2012 election has been touted as a watershed moment for the Democratic Party, but it may have been one for the pro-choice cause as well. And its not because the would-be rape caucus was defeated or that pro-choice candidates won big, though those help. Rather, its that theres good reasons to believe the coalition Obama has built is not only durable, but also staunchly pro-choice. If thats true, it could signify the start of a major shift on what had previously been thought to have been a fundamental fault line in American politics.
Lets start with the exit polling. The 2012 electorate was overwhelmingly pro-choice; 59 percent said abortion should be legal in all or most cases, while only 36 percent said the reverse. The critical swing states followed the pattern, with some like Virginia falling to the left of the national average. Exit polls should be taken with a grain of salt, of course, but these numbers undeniably suggest American voters are more pro-choice than previously thought, especially in the states up for grabs in Presidential and Senatorial elections.
These data throw a monkey wrench in the conventional wisdom about abortion rights namely, that its an issue that the GOP could use to make inroads with the new Obama coalition. Young voters, women, African-Americans, and Latinos have average-to-conservative views on choice, were told. But many identified as pro-choice in 2012. What gives?
Part of the answer is that the general picture is wrong: these key Democratic groups generally track the national average on abortion or tilt left. Though some polls suggest young voters are likely to support restricting abortion rights, the most systematic evidence suggests Milllenials are as, if not more, likely to support keeping abortion legal in all or most cases as the general population. Ditto with women. While African-Americans used to lean right, the most recent polling suggests a decisive pro-choice shift.
Even Latinos, who generally (though not always) tend to oppose abortion rights, have more complicated views than pundits generally let on. While first and second generation Latino-Americans tend to oppose abortion in most or all cases, third generation and higher Latinos support abortion rights by a 19 point margin. Since the Latino population boom is currently being fueled by birth rather than immigration, the third generation cohort seems likely to grow over time. Not incidentally, Latinos who voted in the 2012 election supported keeping abortion legal by a 2:1 margin (though, for its worth, the poll didnt include Texas).

Yes, American er hmm PATRIOT Lady, who is beseeching everyone to sign a petition asking for 20 states to secede and break up the country. Funny and strange patriot. Pravda and Putin surely put her up to this. The US bought Alaska,(Seward's folly) why not the Russians getting even and buying those 20 states,(Putin's folly). Putin's smart, I'm sure he'd insist on a money-back guarantee.

Weekly Standard Editor Bill Kristol: Raising Millionaires Taxes Wont Kill The Country
Even before the election results came in Tuesday, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) was focused on narrowing options for compromise to resolve the looming fiscal cliff, saying he would not support a tax increase on the wealthiest Americans. But on Fox News Sunday, conservative Weekly Standard Editor Bill Kristol counseled Republican leadership to stop falling on its sword to defend a bunch of millionaires:
I think honest debate, fresh thinking, leadership in the Republican party and the leadership in the conservative movement has to pull back, let people float new ideas. Lets have a serious debate. Dont scream and yell over what one person says.
You know what? It wont kill the country if Republicans raise taxes a little bit on millionaires. It really wont, I dont think.
I dont really understand why Republicans dont take Obamas offer to freeze taxes for everyone below $250,000. Make it $500,000, make it a million.
Really? The Republican party is gonna fall on its sword to defend a bunch of millionaires, half of whom voted Democratic, and half of whom live in Hollywood and are hostile to Republicans?
Rep. Paul Ryans (R-WI) infamous budget proposal would have cut taxes on those making more than $1 million, while ending tax cuts for those with the lowest incomes a plan Kristol predicted Republicans would have difficulty defending. But even in the face of poor election results and exit polls that showed 60 percent of Americans support higher taxes for the wealthy, Boehner reiterated his opposition to raising taxes on Friday, as did Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

Media fight on the right over GOP
On the night of Nov. 6, shortly after President Barack Obama won reelection, Steve Schmidt went on NBC News and called on GOP leaders to stand up against the extreme elements in the party that the Republican strategist believes are leading it down the wrong path, even singling out Limbaugh by name. Days later on MSNBC, Joe Scarborough criticized Republicans for taking cues from unnamed pundits who make tens of millions of dollars engaging in niche marketing that the host complained provides a misleading picture of the nations electorate. Columnist David Frum last week slammed the conservative entertainment complex that had fleeced, exploited and lied to Republicans, ensuing doom on Election Day.
These people have made politics a theater for identity politics for a segment of America, rather than a way to solve collective problems, Frum told POLITICO, referring to conservative media commentators.What is happening now, and its disturbing, is that this complex has sold the idea that conservatives are the real majority in America. That claim has been exposed as false. But they are turning on the country and leading their viewers toward alienation and rejection.
These were the opening salvos in a larger and escalating civil war playing out now between moderate and far-right-wing pundits. After a disastrous performance in the 2012 elections, the Republican party has come face-to-face with the new demographic reality:The white establishment is now the minority, as Fox News host Bill OReilly said on election night. Republican support among old, white men can no longer offset their lack of support among women, the young, African-Americans, Asians and the fast-growing Hispanic populations all key groups in Obamas victory, some observers say.
But which path to take for the GOP toward broader appeal doubling down on a core economic and family values conservative message that transcends identity politics or polishing the partys image by recruiting more women and minority candidates and adopting more moderate positions, particularly on immigration reform has exposed a sharp rift in the conservative media.

Will Texas secede? Petition reaches 25,000 signatures, triggering White House review
With more than 28,600 signatures collected since Nov. 9, a White House website petition from an Arlington, Texas man has attracted enough support to trigger an automatic review by the Obama administration.
Petitions submitted through the Obama White Houses We the People program require a response from the administration after they have attracted 25,000 signatures.
The Daily Caller reported Monday morning that since the day after President Barack Obamas re-election, citizens from 20 states had submitted petitions asking for peaceful separations from the United States.(RELATED: White House website deluged with secession petitions from 20 states)
By Monday afternoon that number had grown to 25. <<<---<<

We Just Had A Class War .. And One Side Won
When President Obama took the stage at McCormick Place in Chicago well after midnight, we were all too wiped out with joy or depression or Nate Silver auto-refresh fatigue to pay careful attention to the speech the newly reelected president delivered. The phrase that lingered in most of our sleepy ears was the reprise of his career-launching invocation of the United States as being more than red and blue states. So soaring, so unifying. But those words were merely the trappings of magnanimity draped over an argument that was, at its core, harsher than the one he had regularly delivered during the campaign.
The telling phrase came when Obama turned away from the thank-yous and patriotic hymnals into the guts of his remarks.Despite all our differences, he transitioned,most of us share certain hopes for Americas future. The key term here is most, as opposed to allmost meaning less than 100 percent and possibly as little as 51 percent. He attributed to most Americans a desire for great schools, a desire to limit debt and inequality:a generous America, a compassionate
Obama then proceeded to define the American idea in a way that excludes the makers-versus-takers conception of individual responsibility propounded by Paul Ryan and the tea party. Since Obama took office, angry men in Colonial garb or on Fox News have harped on American exceptionalism, which boils our national virtue down to the freedom from having to subsidize some other saps health insurance. Obama turned this on its head.What makes America exceptional, he announced,are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on Earth. The belief that our destiny is shared; that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations. Obama invoked average Americans living out this ethos of mutual responsibility (such as a family business whose owners would rather cut their own pay than lay off their neighbors, the example of which stands at odds with the corporate ethos of a certain Boston-based private-equity executive). And even the line about red states and blue states began with the following statement:We are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions.
Presumably more was at work here than mere uplift. The president was establishing the meaning of his victory. Even in the days leading up to Tuesday, clouds of dismissal had already begun to hover overhead. The election was small, in the words of one story in the conventional-wisdom-generating machine Politico, and too narrow and too rooted in the Democratic base to grant him anything close to a mandate, in the words of another.I dont think the Obama victory is a policy victory, sniffed Romney adviser Kevin Hassett.In the end what mattered was that it was about Bain and frightening people that Romney is an evil capitalist.
Like every president, Obama won for myriad reasons, important and petty. But his reelection was hardly small and hardly devoid of ideas. Indeed, it was entirely about a single idea. The campaign, from beginning to end, was an extended argument about economic class.

Queston is irrelevant. The US should simply follow the lead of all other 33 OECD countries and have universal health care, no premiums by employers OR employees, and funded from the public purse. And lower those doctors' rates and surgery by at least 50% immediately. Highway robbery.

Directed by Alfonso Cuaron (Gravity), this Mexican production follows two teenage guys (Gael Garcia Bernal, Diego Luna) taking a road trip with a sultry older woman (Maribel Verdu). The film's high level of sexuality caused controversy when it was released, but it was also one of the highest-grossing productions in the country's history. Watch Y Tu Mama Tambien on Netflix.

buying a jeep is not a good call these days.
with my current experience of Jeep dealership and its customer service I now advise anyone not to buy their products.
When it goes wrong and the electronics will from experience the aftercare is terrible. Cruise control shuts down and needs a power cycle to restart, random surges of acceleration - all this after the software was flashed without my knowledge by the dealer!
They also treat the Euro buyers very differently from the US buyers from what I am seeing in the forums.
They should stop building vehicles with a premium price tag with budget build quality.

Sheraton Madison Hotel
706 John Nolen Drive, Madison, WI
0.7 km from
Great service
Location is great
Airport shuttle
location Rooms were less than impressive for a large name hotel. Ice machine on floor did not work. There was no microwave or refrigerator in room. Thought I was getting room with both. TV did not work. Extension cord was running across the floor under the rolling chair. Rolling desk chair was ripped on the arms. Tub/toilet room is so small you barely have room to turn around. Light switch under bed lamp did not work. Toilet did not flush well and handle felt like it might break off. No free breakfast offered.
Clean, Close to everything for our convenience. Also the shuttle was very useful. Very uncomfortable bed and pillows. Noisy all night long couldn't sleep.
I liked the room a lot. I also liked the shuttle they had to take you to downtown Nothing
I liked the driver Henry, the entrance, location, amenities such as the free Starbucks coffee and fruit, and the Starbucks packets in the rooms. Our receptionist upon departure was very helpful and kind when we left (young black woman with longer dread type looking hair). I didn't like that for two people, we were provided one towel in our room. The rooms are definitely outdated compared to the rest of the hotel. Also, I didn't like that we reserved a king bed room and were put into a two bed full type of room. Our receptionist upon arrival wasn't very kind. She was sort of short with us.
The hotel was clean and the service was fine. Free Starbuck's coffee in the morning. The decor in the hallways was dark and dreary. They are planning to update rooms. I thought it just gave off a feeling of being faded. My stay was actually fine.
The hotel location made it easy to get downtown quickly. The room seemed very dated. There weren't any plugs that were easy to access either. Most unfortunate was the fact that I discovered dried blood on the comforter.
No coffee machine No microwave No frig No complimentary breakfast.
Nice clean hotel. Free breakfast and nice pool and hot tub.
Friendly staff, very comfortable room, complimentary happy hour on weekday evenings
Ease to get to. Good breakfast area and food quality was better than average. They were understaffed when we arrived to check in. The manager was putting in as good an effort as could be expected but people were waiting too long to check in.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Location. Amenities included. Friendly staff. Excellent breakfast. A bit dated but everything super clean. Apples brown inside.
As a choice hotel gold member I expect the best but the only thing that was really up to par with other choice hotels was the breakfast. I did not like the fact as I checked in another group was checking in and was told that their card would not have the hold put on it for incidentals while my card had a balance holding it. Also, $150 is a very high rate for incidentals.
All staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. No major complaints.
Location. Location. Location. No.
Quiet, comfortable, spacious room
The room was spacious and clean, the beds were nice and soft, the staff was incredibly helpful and even gave us a ride to the bar since we had enough people to warrant a shuttle, and in the morning the breakfast was much needed and well appreciated. Didn't notice any restaurants immediately next door to the hotel. Most likely would require a short drive.
Very clean, nice suites for the price. Staff could have been a bit more welcoming, but they weren't rude by any means.
The staff was very helpful and their shuttle service was very convenient and cost effective, it covered 3 miles from hotel and to airport. I did not have to rent a car or use a cab for my 3 day visit I would recommend this hotel and is a great value.
weeknights offer socials (2 free drinks per adult/night) and fresh baked cookies - some nice perks! lots of options for breakfast! pool is very clean and the hot tub is kept very warm beds & pillows were VERY comfortable! parking got a little interesting at night time on the weekends, but we made the best of it :)
Great service! Very helpful staff. Made me feel at home. Would be great for out visitors.
It was super easy and the staff was really helpful. The rooms were nice and clean.
Very nice - updated and staff was great. Recommended a nearby Supper Club and it was superb
Beautiful and modern with great staff!! Not right downtown. Easy and cheap uber ride though
Super clean! Modern appearance, well kept up. Easy breakfast.
The hotel was very clean and new feeling. We really enjoyed the salt water pool and the breakfast buffet exceeded our expectations. None
Clean, nicely designed, business center with two computers anda printer. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Liked having the Keurig coffee maker in the room. More k-cups in the room!
The staff, especially the shuttle service was extremely accommodating on a busy Homecoming weekend. Everything is new, clean and inviting. We prefer to be located downtown as we spend our time visiting Camp Randall and people off of State Street, but the hotel offers a shuttle that ran until 11pm that made it convenient to be without a car.
It was easy to get to from different activities.
Shuttle was a nice feature. Great breakfast
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The shuttle was very handy! Pool had strong chlorine smell. It was advertised as a salt water pool. Does it still need chlorine? Very clean
clean and neat, nice breakfast a little difficult to find

A day after Microsoft launched its "AI teen girl Twitter chatbot," Twitter taught her to be racist.
Really, really racist.
Screencap via @geraldmellor.
The thing is, this was all very much preventable. I talked to some creators of Twitter bots about @TayandYou, and the consensus was that Microsoft had fallen far below the baseline of ethical botmaking.
"The makers of @TayandYou absolutely 10000 percent should have known better," thricedotted, a veteran Twitter botmaker and natural language processing researcher, told me via email. "It seems like the makers of @TayandYou attempted to account for a few specific mishaps, but sorely underestimated the vast potential for people to be assholes on the internet."
Thricedotted and others belong to an established community of botmakers on Twitter that have been creating and experimenting for years. There's a Bot Summit. There's a hashtag (#botALLY).
As I spoke to each botmaker, it became increasingly clear that the community at large was tied together by crisscrossing lines of influence. There is a well-known body of talks, essays, and blog posts that form a common ethical code. The botmakers have even created open source blacklists of slurs that have become Step 0 in keeping their bots in line.
"A lot of people in the botmaking community were perturbed to see someone coming in out of nowhere and assuming they knew better—without doing a little bit of research into prior art," Rob Dubbin, a long-time botmaker, told me.
Dubbin is perhaps best known for @oliviataters, a bot conceptually similar to @TayandYou—a "teen girl" that lives on the internet and learns from other people. "[Microsoft] might have found some things that would have made their day a lot better yesterday if they just thought a little about it," Dubbin said wryly.
"None of my bots is ever going to say the n-word. And it's just a baseline thing."
When interviewing the botmakers, one name kept coming up: Darius Kazemi, worker-owner at Feel Train. Kazemi has been making bots on Twitter since 2012. In 2013, he created wordfilter, an open source blacklist of slurs.
Some of the bots Kazemi builds pull from the Wordnik API—something that Kazemi describes as "a living dictionary of the internet." Wordnik constantly updates its repository in real time.
"It's pulling slang words, so a lot of it is really vulgar and a lot of it is racist, sexist, and ableist," said Kazemi. When he created Metaphor-a-Minute, the first of his bots to pull from Wordnik, he had to come to a decision. "Basically I decided I don't want my bot to say anything I personally wouldn't say to a stranger."
Kazemi didn't care about curse words, but there were other words he didn't want his bots to say. From there, he created wordfilter, a module that "makes sure that none of my bots is ever going to say the n-word. It's just a baseline thing."
"It's easy to make it so that robots never say slurs. You just add one more line," Parker Higgins, another bot maker, said to me. "And I think that's still below the bare minimum, but…"
But @TayandYou didn't even do that.
As Caroline Sinders pointed out, it wasn't as though Microsoft hadn't done any filtering. The bot was set to sensitively handle topics like the death of Eric Garner. In a blog post on Friday, Microsoft said the developers "planned and implemented a lot of filtering and conducted extensive user studies with diverse user groups." Yet somehow the bot still managed to spiral out of control, at one point calling for genocide while using the n-word.
Beyond Blacklists
Racism, of course, can't be reduced to a blacklist of bad words. In the very limited case of online text interactions, racism and other -isms often boil down to impact on the audience, and a lot of that is context-dependent.
"My friend Nick Montfort pointed out once—the word 'boy' is not offensive, but if it's a white man calling a black man 'boy,' it is offensive," Kazemi told me. "You can only do so much with word filtering."
Some technical fixes become fairly elaborate. One of Kazemi's bots is Two Headlines, which mashes up two news headlines to create a joke.
Because Two Headlines swaps subjects in headlines, sometimes it would swap a female subject and a male subject, resulting in tweets like "Bruce Willis Looks Stunning in Her Red Carpet Dress."
"I never really liked those jokes, they struck me as transphobic. 'Look a man in a dress, hahaha,'" Kazemi told me. Kazemi eventually used an open source gender tracker that assigned probability of a binary gender to names. If two subjects in a headline are probabilistically male and female, Two Headlines won't tweet, and instead generate a new joke.
"It's not perfect, it's still adhering to a gender binary," Kazemi acknowledged. But adding rules—even clunky ones—brings his bots in line with his own aesthetics and his own ethics. Broad technical tweaks can make for better art.
"The nice thing about a bot is that doesn't cost anything to throw away content like that," said Kazemi. "I'm just very conservative. I get a ton of false positives."
For example, Kazemi doesn't just filter the n-word. "I filter anything with 'nigg' in it. And yeah that'll get the word 'niggling.' So my bots will never say the word 'niggling.' But there are so many weird slang concoctions that use the phrase 'nigg' in it that I don't want. So I throw it away, and my bots never say 'niggling,' and oh well, it's not a big deal."
Sometimes, however, it's best to not even make the bot in the first place. Parker Higgins tends to make "iterator bots," bots that go through a collection (such as the New York Public Library public domain collection) and broadcast its contents bit by bit. Higgins's @pomological tweets out illustrations from the US Department of Agriculture's Pomological Watercolor Collection—vintage pictures of fruits that have been recently digitized and liberated into the public domain.
Recently, Higgins hoped to make an iterator bot out of turn-of-the-century popular music that had been digitized by the New York Public Library. But quite a lot of the scanned sheet music was, to say the least, extremely racist. So he scrapped the whole idea. "It was acceptable at the time, but that's not what I would want my bot to say," said Higgins. Loosely paraphrasing Darius Kazemi, he said, "My bot is not me, and should not be read as me. But it's something that I'm responsible for. It's sort of like a child in that way—you don't want to see your child misbehave."
"It takes effort and policing at a small scale."
For ethical reasons, both Kazemi and thricedotted avoid making bots that—for lack of a better description—seem like people. "My bots are based in serendipity; the ones that respond to tweets are not trained to respond to any particular content of that tweet, and the joy of interacting with them arises from whatever pattern the human intuits from this randomness," thricedotted wrote to me.
"Most of my bots don't interact with humans directly," said Kazemi. "I actually take great care to make my bots seem as inhuman and alien as possible. If a very simple bot that doesn't seem very human says something really bad—I still take responsibility for that—but it doesn't hurt as much to the person on the receiving end as it would if it were a humanoid robot of some kind."
When talking to Rob Dubbin—whose two-year-old @oliviataters bears a marked resemblance to Microsoft's @TayandYou—it became pretty clear why it was that Kazemi and thricedotted have made that choice.
Like Kazemi's Two Headlines, Olivia Taters can also suffer from accidental racism even though she operates with a basic blacklist of slurs. The algorithm sometimes melds two sentences together that, through coincidence, is offensive. "That's happened a few times," Dubbin admitted.
To soften the potential negative impact on her audience, Olivia only replies to people who are following her—that is, tweeters who have consented to be tweeted at by a robot. But even then, Olivia has been a rather trying child.
"I had to tweak a lot of her behavior over time so that she wouldn't say offensive things," said Dubbin. "I would have a filter in place and then she'd find something to say that got around it— not on purpose, but like, just because that's the way algorithms work."
Most of the botmakers I spoke to do manually delete tweets that are offensive. But Dubbin seemed to do it more often. Maintaining Olivia Taters is an ongoing project. "It takes effort and policing at a small scale."
Throughout the interview, Dubbin expressed shock at the sheer quantity of tweets that poured out of @TayandYou. The slower, hands-on approach he takes with Olivia would be impossible at the rate that @TayandYou tweeted at people. "It's surprising that someone would be like, 'This thing is going to tweet ten thousand times an hour and we're not going to regret it!'"
How to Build Bots Ethically
So what does it mean to build bots ethically?
The basic takeaway is that botmakers should be thinking through the full range of possible outputs, and all the ways others can misuse their creations.
Surely they've been working with Twitter data, surely they knew this shit existed.
"You really have to sit down and think through the consequences," said Kazemi. "It should go to the core of your design."
For something like TayandYou, said Kazemi, the creators should have "just run a million iterations of it one day and read as many of them as you can. Just skim and find the stuff that you don't like and go back and try and design it out of it."
"It boils down to respecting that you're in a social space, that you're in a commons," said Dubbin. "People talk and relate to each other and are humans to each other on Twitter so it's worth respecting that space and not trampling all over it to spray your art on people."
For thricedotted, TayandYou failed from the start. "You absolutely do NOT let an algorithm mindlessly devour a whole bunch of data that you haven't vetted even a little bit," they said. "It blows my mind, because surely they've been working on this for a while, surely they've been working with Twitter data, surely they knew this shit existed. And yet they put in absolutely no safeguards against it?!"
According to Dubbin, TayandYou's racist devolution felt like "an unethical event" to the botmaking community. After all, it's not like the makers are in this just to make bots that clear the incredibly low threshold of being not-racist.
Kazemi and thricedotted's bots play with language and humor and tropes. "I'm making art bots," said thricedotted. "Not #branded millennials."
Dubbin's motivations are similar, though he makes bots that are a little different. "I try to do things that are positive in nature and joyful and celebratory and break Twitter in ways that make people laugh and make people happy," he said.
Maybe one day Tay can reach that standard too.

When Your Therapist Treats You Like a Dog
My therapist, who is a great fan of the Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan, has a dog that she loves very much but when he misbehaves or breaks a boundary he is firmly disciplined and because of this he is now a well-behaved dog. She is pretty much the same with clients who break important boundaries as well - as I found out recently. I broke a boundary when I asked her an intrusive question. Seeing as I am about to embark on a career as a peer support worker, my personal boundary issues have to be exemplary so she thought she would, not unkindly, teach me a lesson; an experiential one and a message I am unlikely to forget.
When Life Feels Like a Near Death Experience
I was in session last week with my emotionally and socially intelligent therapist learning important role-modelling and personal negotiation skills when my mobile phone started to ring. I swore loudly, threw my arms in the air, jumped up, and raced out the door and into the courtyard. I was expecting a phone call to tell me whether or not I had a much-wanted part-time job. Only for me it wasn't someone giving me potential employment - it was a life or death experience. If I got the job I would be ecstatic and if I didn't get the job I was going to throw myself under a train. One would make me feel very important and the other would annihilate me. If I didn't get the job, I would just keep walking to my car, without explanation because the alternative was to tell my beloved therapist I had failed – yet again. I just could not face that. Ever. Not that I overreact or anything.

NHL Predictions: How Will Last Year's Top Rookies Fare in 2011-12?
NHL Predictions: How Will Last Year's Top Rookies Fare in 2011-12?
The sophomore slump is one of the most predictable phenomenons in the NHL. Players explode onto the scene as a rookie by surpassing even the most wild expectations, only to take a bit of a step back the following year.
There are several possible explanations for this.
Perhaps their respective coaches note the outstanding play and decide to heap on the responsibilities during the second season.
Maybe defenders become more privy to the skaters as offensive threats and take their presence on the ice much more seriously.
Scouting reports circulate around the league by this time, and weaknesses are noted and exploited.
Whatever the reason, the league is littered with examples.
Consider Steve Mason in Columbus, who is still making a living because of the talent and promise he showed two seasons ago. Tyler Myers experienced a bit of a slide during his second year as a pro—the list goes on.
So what can we expect from the top 10 scoring rookies from the 2010-2011 season this year? Will this crop of sophomores face recession, or break the mold as a whole?
Cam Fowler
I wasn't the only one surprised when Cam Fowler was available to the Anaheim Ducks in the 2010 NHL Draft. The squad probably hadn't even considered him as a possible target for their 12th overall pick.
Yet the puckmoving blueliner slid down the draft board like puckmoving blueliners weren't a hot commodity at the NHL level. Anaheim was happy to make him a Duck, and Fowler wasted little time making an impact, as he put up 40 points in his first season as a pro.
Detracting from his stat-line was an atrocious minus-25 rating. Only six of Fowler's points came with the man advantage, so a majority of that nasty rating was posted during five-on-five situations.
However, this is how young defenders tend to come into the league—offensively proficient with severe defensive defects, or the other way around.
Anaheim didn't bring in a top-four defenseman who would move in on Fowler's average of more than 22 minutes of ice time this season. So it's fair to assume that his point total will hover around 40 again. Lubomir Visnovsky will still quarterback the first power play unit, so a jump in power play time and points isn't likely.
This is still a top notch youngster, though, and he should continue his development at both ends of the ice this year. Look for him for shoot the puck a bit more in his second full season, leading to a few more goals.
2011-2012 Projected Totals: 15 goals, 33 assists, 48 points (and hopefully a plus/minus closer to the plus side of things.)
Brad Marchand
I wasn't on the Brad Marchand bandwagon heading into this season. His explosive postseason following a 41-point regular season just screamed "sophomore slump" to me. I avoided him in fantasy drafts, and even had a few friendly arguments with my hockey buddies about how I thought he was overrated.
Marchand has picked up right where he left off during Boston's Stanley Cup run. I've watched several Bruins games so far this season, and it seems like something happens nearly every time he touches the puck.
I'll publicly admit now what I didn't believe a few weeks ago: Marchand is a special player.
After a better-than-expected rookie year, he's on pace for a 66-point season. Given his surroundings in Boston, he'll have every opportunity to fulfill that projection.
As long as fatigue from the Cup run doesn't become a factor, Marchand is in line for a steady improvement on his totals from a year ago.
2011-2012 Projected Totals: 30 goals, 30 assists, 60 points.
Taylor Hall
Fans of the Edmonton Oilers should be looking forward to watching Taylor Hall play for the next dozen years of their hockey-viewing lives.
He is offensively dynamite and only picks up his level of play once the postseason rolls around. That is the player the Oilers expected to be getting when they selected Hall with the first overall selection in the 2010 draft.
He didn't disappoint in his rookie season. Hall notched 20 goals and added 22 assists.
The only scenario that could cause his production to slip would be the Oilers overextending him. Adding too many responsibilities to his plate could cause the hockey equivalent of a panic attack. But Hall has shown on every level so far to be more than capable of playing hustle-filled two-way hockey.
There is no reason to expect that to change suddenly in 2011-2012, especially with 2011 number one selection Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to feed him the puck.
2011-2012 Projected Totals: 29 goals, 25 assists, 54 points.
Kevin Shattenkirk
Kevin Shattenkirk was in the middle of a breakout rookie season with the Colorado Avalanche when the team saw fit to send him to the St. Louis Blues as part of a multi-player blockbuster trade.
The Avs may have had a "sell high" mentality when they moved the defenseman in anticipation of his production dipping. If that was the case, they are still waiting. Through four games with St. Louis this season, he has registered three points.
While Shattenkirk won't maintain his 60-point Mike Green-like pace, he should have no problem approaching the 40-point plateau like he did last season. The Blues are losing bodies at a rapid rate (again) this year, and Shattenkirk is a player they will depend on more as a two-way blue line presence.
Even if that is the case, Shattenkirk has already showed off his offensive chops and leads a young defensive core in St. Louis along with Alex Pietrangelo.
2011-2012 Projected Totals: 15 goals, 32 assists, 47 points
Jordan Eberle
The Edmonton Oilers are loaded to the brim with young, dynamic talent. After years of lottery picks and spending too much time in the doldrums of the NHL, they may finally be ready to take a step forward.
Jordan Eberle is just as important to his team improving in the standings as Taylor Hall and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. He possesses a goal scorers touch and has spent his fair share of time seasoning since his selection is the first round in 2008.
It is that extra time developing that makes me think he is more poised for a breakout year despite 2011-2012 being his second as a full-time NHL player. Like Hall and Nugent-Hopkins, Eberle will have plenty of chances to put up numbers in Edmonton, as he isn't buried by veterans in the depth chart.
2011-2012 Projected Totals: 31 goals, 30 assists, 61 points.
Derek Stepan
For center Derek Stepan, the New York Ranger's acquisition of Brad Richards could have meant a reduced role heading into his sophomore season.
But with the team struggling early, he has again found himself on the top line with Marian Gaborik—only he is play wing this time around instead of center.
Stepan has yet to find the scoreboard in 2011, but sticking as a top-six guy in New York means he shouldn't see too much of a backslide in numbers. He's the kind of player that coach John Tortorella loves, and that bodes well, as the coach is known for juggling lines at the first sign of lackadaisical hockey.
I don't see Brandon Dubinsky staying on the second line very long, however. His demotion is likely a wake up call after notching one assist in the first four games for the Rangers.
2011-2012 Projected Totals: 17 goals, 26 assists, 43 points.
Tyler Ennis
The Buffalo Sabres have a bit of a logjam at left wing after bringing in Ville Leino during the offseason. They moved him to center on the third line, but where does that leave rookie sensation left winger Tyler Ennis?
On the left side of Leino on the third line, ironically.
Buffalo now has a wide variety of options for their top two lines.
Derek Roy has returned from a long-term injury. Luke Adam has seemingly found obscene amounts of chemistry on the top line with Thomas Vanek and Jason Pominville. Add Leino to the mix, and Jochen Hecht once he returns from a concussion, and you have a hard top two-six to crack.
All this spells trouble for Ennis, who is trying to duplicate a 49-point rookie season. The kid has talent, but I think the situation in Buffalo equals a bit of a recession in numbers for him in 2011-2012.
2011-2012 Projected Totals: 15 goals, 20 assists, 35 points.
Michael Grabner
Michael Grabner has been a hockey godsend to the New York Islanders since the team claimed him off waivers from the Vancouver Canucks. Through 76 games on Long Island last season, he put up 34 goals and 18 assists.
And they say good help is hard to find these days.
The speedy winger was electric for the young Islanders last season, and they hope he can continue to be in 2011-2012. The team around him is improving with every game played, and with John Tavares putting up four points a game, you can bet opposing defenses won't be focusing on the second line.
He is still a top-six player for the Islanders and is skating on a line with the underrated Frans Nielsen and the now-healthy Kyle Okposo. That said, I just am not ready to buy into Grabner being a 30-goal scorer yet.
If he does it again this season, then maybe we'll talk. Okposo is more likely to be the trigger man for this line, which will cost Grabs some goals.
2011-2012 Projected Stats: 24 goals, 26 assists, 50 points.
Logan Couture
The emergence of Logan Couture as a legitimate scoring threat made the San Jose Sharks feel comfortable enough with their offense to deal Devin Setoguchi for more help along the blue line.
So far, Heater has been effective for the Minnesota Wild, while the Sharks struggle to find a consistent level of output on a nightly basis. San Jose is far too talented for that trend to continue, so it doesn't detract from the odds of Couture repeating his 56-point rookie season.
That being said, the suddenly-jacked expectations for the 22-year-old Couture to remain an effective top-six forward on a team with high expectations has all the ingredients needed for a sophomore slump.
His backslide won't be a huge one, but with defenses now privy to his game, it will be harder for Couture to find open ice and space.
2011-2012 Projected Totals: 27 goals, 21 assists, 48 points.
Jeff Skinner
Jeff Skinner wasn't supposed to stick with the Carolina Hurricanes heading into last season. A Calder Trophy later, he enters his sophomore season on a team not many people are giving a lot of love to.
That is the principal difference between Skinner and Logan Couture in my mind. Where the San Jose Sharks are expected to win their division and take a run at the Stanley Cup, Carolina won't even be in the playoff picture towards the end of the season in the minds of some pundits.
Nonsense I say.
But that lack of expectation is why I believe Skinner will be able to (more or less) replicate his 63-point campaign. If this had been a preseason article, I might have written differently. The first few games of the regular season has shown that Skinner knows how to fight through the attention of the opposition's top defenders, and that would have been my biggest concern.
By the time the 2011-2012 season is over, fans in Carolina might be wanting Skinner to run for President before he even has to shave. Which I believe there is an unwritten man-law against somewhere.
2011-2012 Projected Totals: 35 goals, 30 assists, 65 points.

Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge reloaded this past summer to take one last shot at the Atlantic Division crown and hopefully another crack at the Miami HEAT in the Eastern Conference Finals. So far this season, things haven't gone exactly as planned. The Celtics, struggling to get back to .500 and maintain their weak hold on the eighth and final playoff spot in the East, now face the rest of this season without All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo. Has the time finally come to surrender and get whatever assets he can for the 35-year-old Paul Pierce?

Some people are so anxious to portray themselves as interesting or provocative on social media, they do and/or post almost anything to get attention to receive more comments or "likes" from their friends. Pretty sad really.

Yeah it was a stupid act that she didnt think about.
I dont like that it happened, but I choose not to be offended by the actions of stupid people.
I do not think that she should be fired for something that she did on her own time in her own way. What she did was not illegal, life threatening or any thing like that and I dont agree with it. If her employer had an issue with it,then he could do something other than fire her, because contrary to popular belief, it was her right to be stupid and to act stupid.
I can see her winning this one in a law suit.
Lindsey Stone, Plymouth Woman, Takes Photo At Arlington National Cemetery, Causes Facebook Fury
Just a For Your Information - what we already knew but an article about it.
Shamed Facebook poster loses her job: Shamed Facebook poster loses her job - BostonHerald.com
And now we begin the MSM ramp up of her personificaton of being 'the victim'.
Just Plain...............Stupid.
Her first response was along the lines of "Chill out it's no big deal" Until she realized it is a bid deal,there were many posts from family members eulogizing their Warriors that were KIA in Iraq and Afghanistan.We have thousands of Foreign Tourists that visit the Tomb every year and they realize how important and solemn the whole area is.
Maybe they should make ROTC in High School a mandatory Course so people not only learn about Military Code and Rules,but RESPECT for our Country
Not funny and she is the problem!
It dosent work that way.Quote:
Actually, according to the following article she was on a work-paid trip, therefore, not on her own time and a representative of her employer at the time.
If she wasnt "on the clock", she was on her own time.
I'd bet that since she was there at the Tomb, she wasnt on the clock.
This woman, and the friend taking the picture, were supposed to be guides/examples for those they served. Unfortunately they chose to be disrespectful guides/examples. I'm glad their employer has some integrity and has terminated their employment. Actions should have consequences. Think before you act. I hope the two females (I will not call them ladies) are truly sorry for their actions, and not just sorry they got caught. I hope this is a lesson well learned and that they do not decide to see themselves as a "victims" which they most certainly are not.
Firing her seems like an over reaction on the part of the employer, but because of social media their hands were tied. The problem with social media, is that it makes it easier for the pickfork and torch bearing mobs to identify people who do stupid things that are offensive to whom ever. 15 years ago that picture would not have gotten her fired simply because millions of people wouldn't have been able to see it and cause it to go viral. People are idiots when it comes to social media because they will include all sorts of personal information, which in this case I am willing to bet she posted who she worked for and probably linked to their Facebook page. This implies that things she posts on her facebook page are a representation of what that company stands for. Mixing your business with personal things (like facebook pages) is never a good idea.
I have seen people do dumber things while traveling for work (ie get drunk in a foreign country and assault a local LEO) and not get fired. Maybe she will learn a lesson from all of this and stop posting images of her doing stupid things on facebook. However, I doubt it as she did not figure it out for the first 30 years of her life.
I am sadden by the actions of Ms Stone and what she did reminds me of what happened in the 60s when I left the Navy and I have to say at this point I have no wish to defend her or her freedom of speech. My Grandfather, Father, myself and my son have all served in the military and all of our vets have paid a hell of price and some still do not know what may lurk in the shadows. I am not sure what type of sleep I may have but I am thankful for my son being home after serving in the Balkins and the middle east and he carries a disability as many do so in closing I wonder what Ms Stone will see in the mirror and maybe it would not be so funny if she had seen some of the things we have. Thanks, allowing me to have a small soapbox helps when ulgy jumps up
Act disrespectful, and you'll likely be disrespected for it. Life's pretty simple, in that regard.
All I can say is WOW.
-- I don't always post from my mobile but when I do, I prefer Tapatalk.
I'm pleased that this person's selfish, unthinking actions have brought attention to the sacrifice and service of our veterans this Thanksgiving. America can never thank you as often as you deserve.
