The Controversial News Network is just as the name implies: a news network that covers "the other half of the story." In some cases it is the other three-quarters of the story. And in tragically far too many it is a totally untold story.
In America, we are "16th" in "freedom of the press," according to an international survey, even though this is the only country for which the founders actually built into the Constitution the guarantee of total freedom of the press. Right now there are courageous reporters in prison for not revealing their sources, notwithstanding that guarantee in the fabric document of our nation, "The Federal US Constitution." CWNN's mission is to expose the "sacred cows" that no so-called "no spin zone" talk show host will touch with a ten-foot pole.
This website serves as a mainframe of information collected by the Network. Its primary task for now is to archive the shows aired on the San Diego radio station CASH 1700AM, broadcasting live Sundays at 7pm-8pm, hosted by Eugene Ellis with co-host Scott Wood.

The Persistence of Vision (original 1978; edition 1978)
by John Varley
Work details
The Persistence of Vision by John Varley (Author) (1978)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
short stories
In a post-apocalyptic near-future, a middle-aged drifter roams from commune to commune in the Southwest United States. Each of these groups has its own culture and he stays a while at each, doing whatever he needs (e.g., going nude, praying, chanting "Hare Krishna") to fit in while he's there. This works well for him — he stays fed and sheltered and moves on when he's ready for a change of scenery.
But when he comes across a walled-in settlement in the middle of Native American land, he finds that he can never fit in because the group who lives there are the adult descendents of women who contracted rubella while pregnant. All of these adults are both deaf and blind, though their children are not. At first the drifter is fascinated by the ways they've developed to get around their "handicap," but soon he learns that, in their community, he's the one with the disability because he will never be able to understand their language — a language that is a lot deeper than mere spoken words could ever be.
As someone who spends a lot of time thinking about perception, I was fascinated by a culture that can't see or hear, and I enjoyed the parts of the story that dealt with how the group overcame their obstacles. Also, the idea that communication without the masks of fake facial expressions and deceptive body language could be more informative than the "normal" methods is appealing. We get a lot of information about someone's internal state through visual and auditory cues and it's hard to imagine that tactile methods could compensate for missing this input, but John Varley is suggesting that people who are born blind and deaf might develop these sorts of paranormal abilities when normal sensory input is lacking. It is true that some people who are blind or deaf have sensory abilities that seeing and hearing people don't have, or at least never realized they have (e.g., blindsight, echolocation). Perhaps Varley's idea isn't so far-fetched.
The Persistence of Vision, which won both the Hugo and Nebula awards, will make you think. It will make you consider what kinds of wonderful abilities might be unmasked if you lost some of your "normal" abilities. Would it be worth the price?
I listened to Peter Ganim narrate the audio version produced by Audible Frontiers. It was a great production and I'm pleased to see so many Hugo- and Nebula-awarded stories in their catalog.
These stories are from the early Varley, circa the Gaia series ([b:Titan|49838|Titan (Gaea, #1)|John Varley|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1309283641s/49838.jpg|2777504] being one of them), way before the more recent Thunder and Mars books, with the author at the peak of his creative genius (IMHO). I like his work primarily for the way he paints striking and memorable images: the explorers trapped in the bowl, the blind-deaf-mutes having a meal. The title story is worth the effort if you only have time or patience to read just one. But then, like cinnamon licorice sticks, you won't be able to stop at just one.
The majority of the short stories in this book are set in a future where man has spread out into the solar system with the help of advanced technology, which allows humans to enhance themselves to exist even in the hostile heat and atmospheric pressure of Venus. Just about anything about the the human body can be changed quickly and easily by the medicos. A change of sex can be done on a whim and is hardly even worth commenting on in Varley's future. Although their world is so different from our own, the protagonists are still very much human and easy to identify with. The title story which ends the book, is very different, the thought-provokingstory of a man's stay in a community of deaf-blind people and their new methods of communication.
I especially liked "The Phantom of Kansas"and "The Black Hole Passes". The only story that I have definitely read before is "In the Bowl", although I may have read "The Phantom of Kansas" before, as it seemed vaguely familiar at times.
Update on re-reading this book nine years later in 2012. This time my favourites were "Air Raid" and "The Black Hole Passes".
prepared to be carried away as Varley's science fiction short stories quickly whirl you into magical future which reveal the answer to some is Now! and in others it is the words of Buckaroo Banzai 'the future isn't what it used to be..."

The Lady Celts traveled to University of Texas at Brownsville for their inaugural Red River Athletic Conference Tournament on Nov. 11. The Lady Celts finished the regular season in a three-way tie for 4th but ended up with the 6th seed in the tournament due to tie breakers. In the quarter finals on Friday, the No. 6-seeded Lady Celts played rivals No. 3 seed, Our Lady of the Lake University.
The Lady Celts got off to a slow start in the first set but found a way to find their rhythm towards the end of the set, despite losing 25-14. The Celts were out hit .000 to .333. Set two was a reversal of fortune for the Lady Celts. The offense found its stride hitting .278 and the defense slowed down the Saints attack for a 25-17 win. The third set saw the Lady Celts and Saints play a nail-biter, with 12 lead changes that the Saints won 26-24. Down 2-1, the Celts hit a match high .419 to even the match at two sets apiece. The fifth set saw both teams go on runs to take 3 point leads. The Lady Celts jumped out to an early 7-4 lead but the Saints stormed back to take a late lead at 13-11. UST responded with great defense and timely hitting to tie the set at 14-14. Finally, the Lady Celts were able to string two points together to win the final set, 20-18. UST had three hitters in double digit kills led by Regina Trapp's 23, Stephanie Biediger's 15 and Kirsten Kubicek's 11. Brittany Downs led the defensive charge with 23 digs. The final scores were 14-25, 25-17, 24-26, 25-18 and 20-18.
Next up for the Lady Celts was the No. 2 seed Wiley College in the semifinals. Wiley received a first round bye with an 8-1 conference record. Earlier in the year, the Lady Celts lost a hard fought three-set match. Using the knowledge from their previous match, UST came out ready to pull the upset against Wiley who was receiving votes for the Top 25. The first set saw both teams' offenses clicking, but some untimely hitting errors by the Lady Celts gave the first set to Wiley 25-19. In set two, the defenses flexed their muscle. Both teams struggled to finish points, but Wiley once again made a few more plays than the Lady Celts to take a two-set lead after the 25-21 win. Set three saw the team finally push through against the favored Wiley College with a 25-19 win. Wiley stabilized their game and finished off the Lady Celts in set four, 25-16. The Lady Celts were led by Regina Trapp with 19 kills and Kirsten Kubicek with 10 kills. Brittany Downs recorded a match-high 27 digs. Downs was also named to the All-Tournament Team.
The Lady Celts finished their season with a 19-17 record, a 4th place finish in the regular season and a third-place finish at the conference tournament in their inaugural year in the Red River Athletic Conference. The Lady Celts placed two players on the 1st Team All-Conference Team: sophomore outside hitter Regina Trapp and junior setter Brittany Weiler. They also placed two players on the 2nd Team All-Conference Team: sophomore rightside hitter Evon Welch and senior libero Brittany Downs. Two members made Honorable Mention: junior outside hitter Stephanie Biediger and freshman middle blocker Kylah Dias. Two members were selected for the NAIA Champions of Character Award: senior outside hitter Catherine Loth and junior rightside hitter Kelsey Balderamos.

Matt LaPorta sat out this game with a strained quadriceps muscle, but that didn't stop his teammates from doing what LaPorta does best. Austin Pride, Jonathan Pigott and John Townsend all hit home runs for the Gators as they took their second game from Alabama in two days.
Winning pitcher Bryan Augenstein had his best outing of the season, giving up two earned runs in eight innings. Augenstein struck out ten Tide batters on the afternoon. The Gators now need just one win to clinch a spot in the SEC championship tournament in Hoover, Alabama at the end of the season.

Has anyone other than myself seen the new Crickett "pistol" by Keystone firearms? Essentially, its a youth size .22 Crickett bolt action rifle with the barrel cut down to about 10" and mounted on a target style pistol grip similar to the one on the 10/22 based Charger pistol from Ruger. It's a single shot .22 bolt action with the bolt mounted on the LEFT side vs. the right. Our local Academy store received four of them earlier this week. It seems they are so new the word "PISTOL" looks to be hand written over the white-out covered word RIFLE on the factory specification tag that's attached to the gunt and the owners manual lists the specs on the rifle instead of the pistol. It's retailing for $180 at Academy and the store has already sold three of the four gun it got in on Monday.
I checked the Keystone-Crickett web site but there is no mention of the new gun. I'm thinking this might be a nice target/survival gun as well as something for my kids to shoot and the price is reasonable. If anyone has any info or knows more about the new gun (or owns one), could you please share with us.
"... Americans... we want a safe home, to keep the money we make and shoot bad guys." -- Denny Crane
Havent heard of the Crickett but if youre budget aware and want a good first .22 Pistol on the cheap the Margolin MUM can be had for around the same price.
Its Russian made and not the prettiest of pistols but its functional and was used in the 1960s - 1970s by the russian pistol shooting team.
Great little plinker and quite accurate.

Swiftiply is a clustering proxy server for web applications. What makes it different from other clustering proxies, however, is that it expects the backend processes to connect to it. That is, the backend processes are clients of the Swiftiply server, as are the browsers out in userland. The advantage of this is that it permits the back ends to maintain a persistent connection with the proxy server, which eliminates socket setup/teardown costs. And even more importantly than that, it permits backend processes to be started up or shut down without requiring any notification or configuration of the proxy. So, if more capacity is needed, all one needs to do is start the processes. It will immediately be available and will begin to be utilized.
The drawback to this sort of an architecture is that it is exactly opposite of what most web frameworks expect. Most Ruby frameworks, however, utilize Mongrel as one of their primary deployment tools, which allows this drawback to be neutralized. Swiftiply provides a class that overrides pieces of Mongrel (version 1.0.1), allowing any Mongrel handler to be used with Swiftiply, transparently.
Because Mongrel is the preferred deployment method for most Ruby frameworks, Swiftiply includes a version of Mongrel (found in
swiftcore/swiftiplied_mongrel.rb) that has been modified to work as a swiftiply client. This should be transparent to any existing Mongrel handlers, allowing them all to work with Swiftiply.
In addition, as an offshoot of the swiftiplied_mongrel, there is a second version that is available. This other version is found in
swiftcore/evented_mongrel.rb; it is a version of Mongrel that has its network traffic handled by EventMachine, creating a Mongrel that runs in an event based mode instead of a threaded mode. For many applications, running in an event based mode will give better throughput than running in a threaded mode, especially when there are concurrent requests coming in.
This is because the event based operation handles requests efficiently, on a first come, first served basis, without the overhead of threads. For the typical Rails application, this means that request handling may be slightly faster than the threaded Mongrel for single, non-concurrent requests. When there are concurrent requests, though, the differential increases quickly.
To install Swiftiply:
ruby setup.rb
The Swiftiply executable will be installed installed into the ruby installation's bindir, along with associated scripts, and the libraries into the site lib. rdoc information will also be generated.
ruby setup.rb --help
to see a full list of options.
After installation, the test suite (full test suite coming soon) can be ran with:
ruby setup.rb test
Swiftiply depends on EventMachine and the Mongrel support is written against Mongrel 1.0.1. Swiftiply (and EventMachine) can be installed as a gem via
gem install swiftiply.
To start a Swiftiply instance, first create a configuration file (YAML format):
cluster_address: swiftcore.org
cluster_port: 80
daemonize: true
epoll: true
epoll_descriptors: 20000
- incoming:
- swiftcore.org
- www.swiftcore.org
outgoing: 127.0.0.1:30000
default: true
docroot: /var/www/swiftcore.org/docs
- incoming: iowa.swiftcore.org
outgoing: 127.0.0.1:30010
- incoming: analogger.swiftcore.org
outgoing: 127.0.0.1:30020
- incoming:
- swiftiply.com
- www.swiftiply.com
- swiftiply.swiftcore.org
outgoing: 127.0.0.1:30030
redeployable: true
docroot: /var/www/swiftiply.swiftcore.org/docs
cache_directory: public
- htm
- html
- txt
Then start Swiftiply:
swiftiply -c config_file
An instance of Swiftiply is now running, listening on a socket for connections from browsers.
IOWA has built in support for running in evented and clustered modes.
Swiftiply provides a _REPLACEMENT_ to mongrel_rails that, throught the use of an environment variable, can be told to run in either the evented mode or the swiftiplied mode.
To run a Rails app in evented mode, set the EVENT environment variable. On a unixlike system:
env EVENT=1 mongrel_rails
To run in swiftiplied mode:
env SWIFT=1 mongrel_rails
Because Swiftiply backends connect to the Swiftiply server, they all connect on the same port. This is important. Each of the backends runs against the same port. To make it easier to start multiple Rails backends, a helper script, swiftiply_mongrel_rails, is provided. It is just a light wrapper around mongrel_rails that will let one start N backends, with proper pid files, and stop them.
The merb source (trunk only, at this point), has Swiftiply support that works just like the Rails support, built in.
A couple adapters for Ramaze are included, to allow Ramaze to run with either the evented or the swiftiplied mongrels. They are installed into
Swiftiply has been tested with Camping and Nitro, as well. Direct support for them is not yet bundled, but will be in an upcoming release. In the meantime, all that really needs to happen to use the evented_mongrel or swiftiplied_mongrel with your application is to require the proper library --
swiftcore/evented_mongrel or
Swiftiply takes a single configuration file which defines for it where it should listen for incoming connections, whether it should daemonize itself, and then provides a map of incoming domain names and the address/port to proxy that traffic to. That outgoing address/port is where the backends for that site will connect to. The configuration file uses a YAML format. For the purposes of Swiftiply configuration, what this means is that key/value pairs are placed one per line, with a : between the key and the value, and lists of items are created by leading off a list item with - , one per line.
The following items can be specified in a Swiftiply configuration file:
cluster_address: 0.0.0.0
This is the address/IP that Swiftiply will listen on for traffic from browsers.
cluster_port: 8080
This is the port, on the cluster_address, that Swiftiply will listen on for traffic from browsers.
daemonize: true
If this is set to true, Swiftiply will attempt to put itself into the background. This currently only works on platforms where forks() is supported (i.e. not win win32 platforms).
epoll: true
With version 0.8.0, EventMachine now supports using epoll() for the event loop instead of select() on platforms that support it (Linux 2.6). The benefit to epoll() is that performance does not degrade as the number of file descriptos increases, and it can handle more than the 1024 descriptors that select() under Ruby is limited to. This lets Swiftiply to scale to handling many thousands of connections all at the same time. There is no downside to attempting to enable epoll, as it will silently fail on plaforms where it is not supported, so Swiftiply currently defaults to attempting to enable epoll support. If, for some reason, you want to ensure that it is not used, you can use
epoll: false to disallow it.
epoll_descriptors: 20000
Swiftiply defaults to a descriptor table size of 4096. This means that it will handle 4096 active connections. If you would like that limit to be higher, you may use this config setting to change that table size.
timeout: 3
The timeout is the number of seconds that Swiftiply will hold on to a browser's connection, waiting for a backend to take the connection and service it, before giving up and returning a 503 Server Unavailable error to the browser. The default is three seconds. If your web framework actions are slow, you may want to increase that number, but try to keep it as low as you can.
- incoming:
- swiftcore.org

outgoing: 127.0.0.1:30000

cache_directory: public
- htm

- txt
map section contains the mapping of incoming hostnames to the outgoing address/port that the backend(s) for the site are listening on.
- incoming: foo.bar.com
- incoming:
- foobar.com
- www.foobar.com
This is the hostname or hostnames to match against.
outgoing: 127.0.0.1:33333
This is the address/port that the backend(s) for the site are expected to be connected to.
default: true
If this option is set to true, then this incoming/outgoing set is the default set. Any request that comes into Swiftiply that does not match another set is sent to the default.
docroot: /var/www/swiftiply.swiftcore.org/docs
Swiftiply will serve your static files directly, itself. To enable this, just provide a docroot declaration. Swiftiply will check in the docroot for a file that matches the requested uri before dispatching the request to a backend. If a match is found, it will be delivered.
cache_directory: public
Rails, and other frameworks, can cache generated pages in a directory that the webserver can then use to fullfill requests, eliminating the need for those requests to go all the way back inside of the framework to be fulfilled. If your app is using a page cache, you can have Swiftiply serve files from it with this directive. Swiftiply will look in docroot/cache_directory if it doesn't find the requested uri in the docroot. If it doesn't find a file to fulfill the uri as requested, it will append
.html to the uri and check again.
- htm
- html
- txt
If you would like Swiftiply to check more extensions than just
.html, list each of them under a
cache_extensions directive. Each will be checked in order until a match is found. If none is found, then the request will be dispatched to a backend for handling.
redeployable: true
If the redeployable attribute is turned on (it defaults to off), then if a backend goes away -- is killed, crashes, hangs, has a walrus fall from the sky on top of it, etc... -- Swiftiply will detect that and will redeploy the request to the next available backend, so long as the backend had not started to return a response.
There is a limit to the size of the requests that will be redeployed, however. It defaults to 16k, but may be set to a different size by assigning that size to the redeployable attribute. e.x.
redeployable: 114168
Requests that exceed the size limit are treated like any other request, and will be dropped instead of redeployed if the backend handling it goes away.
In addition to this site, there is a mailing list for Swiftiply, and an IRC channel on http://freenode.net,
There is an RSS feed that is updated automatically when site content is updated. It is at http://swiftiply.swiftcore.org.
