There over 800 prison camps in the United States, all fully operational and ready to receive prisoners. They are all staffed and even surrounded by full-time guards, but they are all empty. These camps are to be operated by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) should Martial Law need to be implemented in the United States and all it would take is a presidential signature on a proclamation and the attorney general's signature on a warrant to which a list of names is attached.

In the summer of 2011, Yale University received a generous donation to restore and the entrance nave of Sterling Memorial Library. Opened in 1930, Sterling Library is architect James Gamble Rogers's masterpiece of collegiate gothic style. With more than 3,000 decorated windows, seven stories of reading rooms and offices, and fifteen floors of book stacks, Rogers intended Sterling Library to be a cathedral to learning and the intellectual heart of a great university. The entrance nave is the grandest of the many awe-inspiring spaces in Sterling Library. The architectural elements in the nave are reminiscent of gothic cathedral architecture, which find their modern equivalents in the massive stone columns, soaring leaded-glass windows, and a circulation desk at the crossing of the nave that generations of visitors to the library have mistaken for an altar.
In October of 2011, the University selected Helpern Architects of New York to lead the restoration of the nave, working alongside experts in historical preservation and planners from the Library, the Office of University Planning and Facilities, the Office of the Provost, and selected faculty members. Planning assumptions for restoring the nave include the following:
· Retain the architectural splendor and the sense of awe what one experiences in the nave.
· Restore all glass, wood, and stone in the nave to their former glory.
· Make the nave an inviting location for members of the Yale community.
· Enhance library services and empower users in the nave.
· Develop the ability to keep the first floor of Sterling Library open after library services close.
The descriptions and drawings in this guide explain how many of these assumptions will be put in place during and following the restoration.

Actually the artist usually does try to communicate their feelings, thoughts or ideas. If they are successful, they are hooking onto some universal aspect of the human condition, so that most people will recognize what they are trying to say. If 54 people have 54 diametrically different and unrelated
feelings and thoughts, in all likelihood the artist has failed dismally at his goals.
A painting achieves the description 'poetic' if there is harmony and grace in the interplay between the emotions, theme, and techniques that have been used.
Those techniques include drawing, modeling, perspective, tonality, light, atmosphere, paint handling, glazing, texture, composition and design, all of which need to blend with each other and with the theme and emotional content to produce a homogeneous and unified finished work.
I hope to see your responses.

PRINCETON, N.J. -- A trio of Ivy League indoor track and field teams rang in the New Year with solid performances at their respective first meets of 2011 this past weekend. Dartmouth's women won its own Dartmouth Relays, the Big Green men finished second, Princeton's men and women were both victorious and Cornell's men and women combined for 25 event wins and six ECAC/IC4A qualifiers at its own Southern Tier Open.
The Big Red women won every event in which they competed, placing first 15 times, with a trio of ECAC qualifiers. Senior Kim Standridge was a double winner, claiming the mile in an Eastern-qualifying and meet record 5:00.58 before coming back to win the 500 in 1:21.14. Sophomore Kelsey Karys finished just behind Standridge in the mile, missing the ECAC standard by only .03 in setting a new personal best of 5:00.97 before coming back to cross the line first in the 1000 in 3:05.20. Junior Melissa Hewitt also had a great start to the new year, reaching 19-7 in the long jump to win and easily best the ECAC standard and later finished second in her first-ever attempt at the triple jump, reaching 37-5; junior Kristin Brandt again jumped well to win the event at 38-0 3/4. Sophomore Claire Dishong was the Big Red's first ECAC qualifier of the day in the meet's first event, moving up to No. 4 all-time at Cornell in the pole vault with a clearance of 11-9 3/4.
The Big Red men, with 10 event wins and three IC4A qualifiers, were led by junior Bob Belden, who was a double winner, bettering the IC4A standard in both throwing events. He claimed first in the shot put with a heave of 53-10 1/4 and came back to take the weight throw with a mark of 57-6 1/2. Freshman Steve Bell was also a double winner, as he came out on top in both the long jump and the triple jump, reaching 22-9 3/4 and 46-9, respectively.
At the Dartmouth relays, the Big Green men got a first-place performance from senior David Irving in the weight throw with a toss of 18.21 meters. Freshman Joseph Woiwode took first in the 800 with a time of 1:55.52. The Big Green took the top three spots in the 60 meter hurdles, with Christopher Fletcher placing first (8.63). In the 60 meter dash final, sophomore Connor Reilly won, finishing at 6.88.
Dartmouth's women claimed the meet title for the first time since 2007. The highlight of the event for the Big Green was the 3000 meter race. Dartmouth took the top five spots in the race and gained 30 points in just that event. Junior Amy Schuman won the race with a time of 10:04.66. In the 400 meter, senior Alexandra Tanner beat fellow Big Green runner Megan Krumpoch to claim the top spot.
Princeton's men went head-to-head with Navy, earning a 102.5-74.5 victory. The Tigers win 13 of 17 events, led by junior Kashif Smith, who picked up two wins in the 60 and 200 meter dashes. Smith won the 60 at 7.02, with three Tigers following in second, third and fourth places. Freshman Brian Mills ran a 7.09, junior Ivan Charbonneau ran a 7.13 and sophomore Sebastian Steffen ran a 7.15. Smith and Steffen also had a rare tie in the 200, both finishing at exactly 22.58.
The Tiger women won the Quad Meet against Rutgers, St. Joseph's and St. John's, accumulating 209 points and winning 12 events. Senior Thanithia Billings won both the weight throw and the shot put. In the shot put, Billings threw to 14.98 meters, her best mark of the season. Princeton captured the top three marks in the pole vault, led by sophomore Tory Worthen. Worthen cleared 3.76 meters, with freshman Samantha Anderson taking second at 3.66 meters and sophomore Lauren Tauscher third at 3.46 meters.

CDM Opportunities and Challenges in Mozambique
Mozambique Country Overview | UNDP's Capacity Development in Mozambique
Mozambique, as a country vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change and with few resources to meet the costs of adaptation, has welcomed the potential benefits of the CDM. The CDM, if appropriately designed, besides reducing GHGs can be used as an instrument for poverty alleviation, technology transfer and for achieving other environmental benefits.
However, Mozambique has limited capacity to engage with carbon markets, especially the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) under the Kyoto Protocol. Many barriers have been identified, including:
- A low awareness of CDM opportunities;
- The lack of upfront financing for pre-investment studies of the CDM component (baseline and PDD elaboration, monitoring programme development);
- Lack of a national definition for 'forest' under the CDM;
- A low capacity to develop CDM projects, with only a very limited number of professionals and institutions having an in-depth understanding of the CDM process.
The Carbon Situation
Mozambique has one CDM project at the validation stage, recently approved by the DNA. This project involves switching from coal to natural gas at the rotary kiln of a clinker manufacturing plant outside of Maputo, Mozambique. The project participants are the CIMPOR (Portuguese Cement Company) plant owner and Matola Gas Company (MGC).
Recently a PIN for an A/R CDM project was submitted to the DNA. The project called Sanga Reforestation is located in Sanga district in Niassa province, the project participant is Malonda Tree Farm Company financed by Green Resources AS (GRAS) Norway.

Gordon and Gretchen Gross
The Institute for Jewish Thought, Heritage and Culture, a multidisciplinary research and academic degree–granting center focusing scholarship on the critical role that Judaism has played in the development and communication of Western thought, has been established in the College of Arts and Sciences.
The institute already is attracting major philanthropic support, with a $1 million gift from prominent Buffalo attorney Gordon R. Gross, LLB '55, and his wife, Gretchen, to establish the institute's first endowed professorship.
"We are passionate about the Institute for Jewish Thought, Heritage and Culture, believing it will invigorate the Jewish community in Western New York, as well as allow UB to create a world-renowned Jewish studies program," Gross, a member of the SUNY Board of Trustees, told guests at an April 16 press conference.
The institute is expected to become a degree-granting program by fall 2009 and plans to inaugurate master's and doctoral programs in Jewish studies by 2010.

Of course. The only problem is that the clock can be non mononotonous sometimes and not be in sync with gettimeofday, but at least the kernel users of packet timestamps do not care. The only problem is the socket option, but it is obscure enough that I would not worry too much about it. > > > - Switch to gettimeoffset but add some correction step for the unlikely > > case that someone wants the timestamp from user space > > (would be my prefered solution) > > - Implement lockless gettimeofday like x86-64 or sparc > > (good one too, but likely slower than last) > > > ia64 seems to also have the lock. Quick fix is to just use gettimeoffset in netif_rx again. Should be fine for you. -Andi

The girls volleyball programs in Ahwatukee Foothills are rich with tradition and have shown the ability to compete with the very best the state has to offer.
Will 2010 be any different for Mountain Pointe and Desert Vista?
The coaches are cautiously optimistic entering the year, knowing some things have to fall into place and that the talent is there to be top contenders.
Mountain Pointe, which won the Class 5A state title in 2001 and were 5A Division I runners-up in 2007, has the go-to hitter in senior Erika Papadeas, who has started since her freshman, on the outside.
Papadeas had 332 kills last season with a 34 percent hitting percentage to help Mountain Pointe to a 26-9 record.
"Erika can play at the next level," Mountain Pointe coach Fred Mann said. "She sprained her ankle and missed some time with the club team so that hurt, but she can definitely play at the next level and we will count on her pretty heavily."
Helping her on the outside will be junior Brenna Wagner, who is making the switch from middle blocker to outside hitter, while senior Mikaela Novitsky is a versatile player that can be counted on as a hitter and setter.
The Pride lost in the first round of the Class 5A I state tournament and it is pretty clear that is not something that sits well with the program. They are used to going deep into the tournament.
Mann isn't sure if the team will play at that level early on, but believes the team has the talent to be ready in November.
"We hope we will be better over the course of the season," he said. "Right now, we are still figuring some things out. Hopefully, we come together, keep working to get better and be ready when the season becomes more difficult."
Mann said the lineup is undecided at setter and libero, but it doesn't make him uneasy.
"It's a question of parity," he said. "We have two or three girls on the same level of talent. It's a good competition and will assure us of some depth."
Desert Vista will have plenty of size to frustrate opponents with at the net as four players are at 6-foot or taller.
The Thunder, who have finished as state runners-up in 2004 and 2008, have an impressive duo in senior outside hitter McKella Williams and sophomore middle blocker Brooke Honeycutt.
The tandem move from the top of the food chain after being the third and fourth options last season when the Thunder went 39-6 before falling to eventual state runners-up Tempe Corona del Sol in the second round.
Coach Molly West said there are several young players that are expected to contribute this season, but it is hard to tell how much at this point.
One spot West doesn't have to worry about is libero as senior Renae Sniegowski returns and is a captain along with Williams.
"We have a lot of work to do to get on the same page," West said. "They all come from different (club) coaches so we have to work on fine tuning things and getting our system down. As long as they are disciplined and use self control it isn't a problem."
West is taking a similar wait-and-see approach as Mann when it comes to how good the team can be a few months from now.
"We will improve throughout the season and surprise teams that don't expect DV to show much this year," West said. "I hope we are the surprise dark horse."

Ukiha, Japan (AFP) July 18, 2012
A typhoon skimmed past sodden southwestern Japan on Wednesday dumping rain on an area already struggling to clean up after huge floods.
By late afternoon Typhoon Khanun was sitting west of the main southern island of Kyushu, packing winds of up to 120 kilometres (75 miles) per hour, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.
The storm was moving away from Japan, heading towards South Korea, but was still causing rain in Kyushu where floods and landslides have left 32 dead or missing over the last week.
"In some places recent heavy rainfall has left the ground very loose, so we are warning local residents to be vigilant against mudslides," the weather agency said.
More than 90 centimetres of water has fallen in the area around Mount Aso, an active volcano, so far this month, the agency said, far outstripping what would normally be expected.
Around 15 people in the small city of Ukiha were cut off when roads were damaged and bridges washed away after rivers burst their banks.
"I have never experienced such floods in my life," 57-year-old farmer Shigeru Kawauchi told AFP.
"It is the first time I have seen the river flowing so violently that it was sweeping houses away," he said.
Meanwhile, the main Japanese island of Honshu was wilting under soaring temperatures with authorities issuing hot weather alerts in central parts of the country.
Nearly 2,500 people were taken to hospital in the week to July 15 alone, 2.5 times more than a week earlier, the disaster management agency said Wednesday.
Twelve students at a Tokyo primary school were taken to hospital on Wednesday after they complained of headaches and difficulties in breathing during outside exercise, local media said.
A 55-year-old man died in Toyama prefecture apparently from heat stroke on Tuesday, while 688 people were taken to hospital due to heat exhaustion, public broadcaster NHK said.
One person died and nearly 700 others were taken to hospital suffering from the effects of heat on Monday.
Japan is asking people to limit the use of electricity-sapping air conditioners as the country battles a possible power shortfall, with the vast bulk of nuclear generators offline in the aftermath of the Fukushima disaster.

LONDON (AP) Chelsea regained the Premier League title from Manchester United with a 8-0 victory over Wigan on Sunday with Didier Drogba scoring three times.
Even though United finished the campaign with a 4-0 victory over Stoke at Old Trafford, the big celebrations were at Stamford Bridge where goals by Drogba, two by Nicolas Anelka and one each by Frank Lampard, Salomon Kalou and Ashley Cole left Chelsea champions by one point in manager Carlo Ancelotti's first season in English football.
It is Chelsea's third league title in six years — the others being under Jose Mourinho in 2005 and '06 — and the result means it prevented United becoming the first team to win the English title four years in a row.
"After 1-0 today that was the first time I thought, 'Yes, that's ours,' " said Chelsea captain John Terry, whose private life brought distracting headlines to the club and led to him losing the England captaincy.
"Forget everything else, this is about Chelsea Football Club and our day today," Terry said. "It has been a hard three years not winning the Premiership and today we deserved it. It's been hurting inside of me for three years, seeing Man United lifting it season after season."
Now Ancelotti hopes to complete Chelsea's first league and FA Cup double by beating Portsmouth in Saturday's final at Wembley.
"There are a lot of things we're happy about," said the former AC Milan coach. "We're happy for this record, for Didier being the top scorer. But the most important thing is that we showed some good play.
"Mourinho did some fantastic work and won two titles consecutively. This is my first and I hope to do the same as Mourinho. Now we have the opportunity to win the double and I hope that my players can, after these celebrations."
Chelsea went into the final round one point ahead of United after a see-sawing season, and Anelka fired Ancelotti's team into a sixth-minute lead.
Although Darren Fletcher put United a goal up at Old Trafford in the 31st, within a minute it was 2-0 at Stamford Bridge.
Lampard scored from the penalty spot for his 22nd league goal of the season after he had been brought down by Gary Caldwell. The Scottish defender was also sent off for the challenge, which made United's hopes of a Wigan comeback even slimmer.
Ryan Giggs scored a second for United before halftime but the goal celebrations were muted. News of further Chelsea goals by Salomon Kalou, Anelka, Drogba and Ashley Cole made the atmosphere worse at Old Trafford, with United's fans turning their attention to chanting their opposition to the club's ownership by Malcolm Glazer and his family.
Outside Old Trafford before the game, fans let off at least one smoke bomb in protest at the Glazers, who have landed the club with an enormous debt to finance their purchase of the club.
Drogba finished the campaign as leading scorer with 29 goals, three more than longtime leader Wayne Rooney, who failed to hit the target for Man United against Stoke and limped off the field with an injury.
It was the fourth time this season Chelsea has hit at least seven goals, the other victims being Sunderland, Aston Villa and Stoke.
Arsenal made sure of finishing third ahead of north London neighbor Tottenham with a 4-0 victory over a weakened Fulham side, which is headed for Wednesday's Europa League final against Atletico Madrid in Hamburg.
Andrei Arshavin, Robin van Persie and an own-goal by Fulham's Chris Board put Arsenal in control by halftime, and Carlos Vela later added a fourth.
The victory means that Arsene Wenger's team, which has failed to win a trophy for the fifth season in a row, will now go straight into the group phase of the Champions League
Tottenham threw away a two-goal lead after early strikes by Gareth Bale and Luka Modric to lose 4-2 at relegated Burnley and has to be satisfied with fourth place, its highest finish since placing third in 1990.
Another relegated side, Hull held Liverpool to a 0-0 draw. Portsmouth, which finished last, conceded an injury-time winner to Diniyar Bilyaletdinov to lose 1-0 at Everton.
In Sunday's other games, Manchester City was held 1-1 at West Ham, Blackburn won 1-0 at Aston Villa, Bolton beat Birmingham 2-1 and Wolves edged Sunderland 2-1.
In the playoffs to decide the third team to gain promotion to the top flight, Peter Whittingham's 78th-minute free kick gave Cardiff a 1-0 victory at Leicester in the first leg. In the other semifinal, Blackpool leads Nottingham Forest 2-1.
Newcastle and West Bromwich Albion have already gained promotion from the League Championship after finishing first and second.

Preseason Preparations Underway For Bulldogs
DES MOINES, Iowa - With less than two weeks until the start of the 2014 men's soccer campaign, Drake, under the direction of 17th-year head coach Sean Holmes is rounding out its first week of official preparations for the new season.
The Bulldogs enter the 2014 campaign looking to build upon an 8-8-4 mark last season, including a second-place 3-1-2 ledger in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Drake is seeking to integrate 12 newcomers this season onto a roster that boasts 10 returning lettermen from a year ago, including four players who scored goals for the Bulldogs.
Included among the returnees are Drake's six starters from the close of the 2013 campaign, led by a quartet of All-Missouri Valley Conference performers in redshirt junior Alec Bartlett (Overland Park, Kan./St. James Academy), redshirt sophomores Darrin MacLeod (Waterloo, Ontario/Resurrection Catholic) and Ben LeMay (Hugo, Minn./Saint Thomas Academy) and sophomore Mueng Sunday (Coralville, Iowa/Iowa City West).
Bartlett was named a first-team All-MVC selection, while Sunday was tabbed a second-team honoree. LeMay, MacLeod and Sunday were all recognized as all-freshman team recipients.
Complimenting that quartet is the return of senior Thomas Schermoly (Olathe, Kan./St. Thomas Aquinas) and junior Austin Reutzel (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Prairie), both starters in 2013.
Drake also will welcome the return of redshirt junior Kyle Whigham (Overland Park, Kan./St. Thomas Aquinas), who missed nearly the entire 2013 campaign due to injury.
Three other returning Bulldogs appeared in at least 10 games for Drake last season. That group includes; junior Alex Troester (Iowa City, Iowa/Iowa City West), Brandon Welter (Mankato, Minn./Mankato East) and Eric Williams (West Des Moines, Iowa/Valley). Redshirt freshman Luke Mennen (Iowa City, Iowa/Iowa City High) is also expected to make strong contributions after redshirting a season ago.
The new campaign will commence for the Bulldogs with a pair of home preseason matches starting with a 7:00 p.m. contest versus Loras College on Wednesday (Aug. 20) at the Cownie Soccer Complex. Drake then hosts Luther College on Friday (Aug. 22) at 7:00 p.m. inside Drake Stadium.
The Bulldogs open their 2014 campaign against Houston Baptist on Aug. 29 at the Cownie Soccer Complex starting at approximately 8:00 p.m. The game is part of a doubleheader with the Drake women's soccer team, who is hosting Saint Louis at 6:00 p.m.

Simple recall exercises may be best study method for science
Jan. 21, 2011
Students may learn more science through simple recall exercises than by pondering the ideas they have learned and their interrelationships, a study has found.

Students may learn more science through simple recall exercises than by pondering the ideas they have learned and their interrelationships, a study has found. The findings suggest that the human mind works in ways that doesn't necessarily fit with common sense, said the researchers, reporting their findings in the Jan. 21 issue of the journal Science. Often, they wrote, teachers rely heavily on learning activities like "elaborative concept mapping" to help students retain the most from the texts they read. Elaborative concept mapping is a technique in which students make diagrams of relationships between the ideas they draw out of a text. Meanwhile, the scientists argued, teachers often overlook activities that require students to practice retrieving and reconstructing knowledge. In the new study, Jeffrey Karpicke and colleagues at Purdue University in Indiana compared the effects of "elaborative concept mapping" with those of simple recall. In two experiments, they asked college students to recall in writing, in no particular order, as much as they could from what they had just read from science material. Although most students expected to learn more from the mapping approach, the retrieval exercise actually worked much better to strengthen both short-term and long-term memory, the investigators found. The results, they argue, suggest retrieval is not merely scouring for and spilling out stored knowledge. Rather, they argue, the act of reconstructing knowledge itself is a powerful tool that enhances conceptual learning about science. "Research on retrieval practice suggests a view of how the human mind works that differs from everyday intuitions. Retrieval is not merely a read out of the knowledge stored in one's mind – the act of reconstructing knowledge itself enhances learning," Karpicke and colleagues wrote. "This dynamic perspective on the human mind can pave the way for the design of new educational activities based on consideration of retrieval processes."

Did you ever wonder how Easter gained the status of second biggest candy holiday? I always suspected it had something to do with giving up sugar or chocolate for lent -- at the end of your candy "fast" you hit the payload... Well, that's just my theory.
As we're compiling the various and sundry treats for our Easter gift guide, I thought I'd share some Easter candy trivia. You can find the full article at Infoplease:

We came across a video tour of the Boyer Candy factory. It is from a couple years ago, from a PA-based cable channel. But not much has changed - Boyer Candy makes the famous Mallo Cup, and also make their own version of a peanut-butter cup called the Smoothie. Lastly you'll see the creation of their chocolate and peanut-butter covered pretzels (although that's not too exciting).

Don Harris, an aficionado of Spain for more than 40 years, wrote a really brief but informative blog post about Spanish chocolate on his site, LaTienda leading up to Valentine's Day.
He starts in 1544 and moves through Columbus, Cortés and Prince Philip II; chocolate's origin in the Amazon; all the way through World War II. Its a great read for anyone wanting to learn more about the role of Spain in the chocolate world (hint: its a pretty big role).
Our favorite excerpt is below...mostly because we too want to build a chocolate room in our house!
"Soon any Spanish nobleman worth his salt reconfigured his house so that he would have a Chocolate Room - usually situated between the Large Hall and the drawing room. There, as a man of leisure, he would spend hours in pleasant conversation with significant friends and political associates."

Many of us DUers are very upset about what we see as widespread denial of theft of the 2004 Presidential election, even by most Democrats. We are upset about this because we believe that this denial represents a great barrier to meaningful election reform, and therefore a great threat to our democracy. And consequently, we feel that it is important to understand the reasons behind this denial.
I believe that there are two main explanations for it: One reason is simply widespread lack of awareness of the facts surrounding the 2004 election, largely due to a virtual news media blackout on the subject. The other explanation is more psychological that many people just do not want to believe that such a thing could happen in our country which we have all learned since we were old enough to speak is the ultimate shining example of democracy in the world.
In this post I present an astonishing example of that phenomenon. I consider this example to be astonishing because the author I will discuss Andrew Gumbel, who wrote Steal this Vote spends well over 50 pages making an excellent case for why we should be very concerned about the results of the 2004 election, and then he turns right around and refers to those of us who believe the election to have been stolen as conspiracy theorists. The reasons he gives for this point of view are so unreasoned and illogical, and they present such a stark contrast to the preceding portions of his book that it appears as if the different portions of the book were written by different persons.
Anyhow, thats how it appears to me. I hope that most of you agree with me on that score after reading this post.
Gumbels scathing indictments of DRE voting machines
DRE voting machines are those which directly record the voters vote electronically, without the need for any paper evidence of the vote. Gumbel talks at great length about why such machines in the U.S. today are unfit to count our votes.
Here is a general statement by Gumbel as to why these machines should not be used in our elections:
there were two fundamental problems with the touch-screen DREs. First, as computer scientists had been warning for years without anyone paying much attention, they were inherently unsafe because of their vulnerability to software bugs, malicious code, or hack attacks. Even in the best designed system, removing votes from the physical world and storing them exclusively in electronic form was a risky proposition, because there was no way of being sure that the data put into the machines during an election would be the same as the data later spat back out. Hence the strong recommendation of academic experts to create a system of paper receipts enabling voters to confirm their individual choices and providing election administrators with the wherewithal to conduct meaningful recounts.
The second problem with the new-generation DREs was that they were poorly programmed by their manufacturers and inadequately tested by government-contracted laboratories charged with their certification. This was a well-dept dirty secret Because of the proprietary nature of the software, state and county officials had to take assurances about security almost entirely on trust. And take those assurances they did
He then goes on to discuss how the Florida Task Force recommended that optical-scan machines are a much preferred alternative:
Jeb Bush appointed the twenty-one member Select Task Force on Election Procedures, Standard, and Technology just forty-eight hours after the Supreme Court decision handing the presidency to his brother. They in turn reported back ten weeks later with thirty-five recommendations. By far the most important of these stated that only one state-certified system met acceptable standards That was the optical-scan system with the added proviso that votes should be tabulated precinct by precinct, not centrally at county headquarters.
He then goes on to discuss how, due to Republican control of the state and a cozy relationship between ES&S and state officials, the Task Force recommendations were largely ignored, and touch screen machines were sold to twelve Florida counties. And then, Gumbel discusses how similar events transpired in Maryland and Georgia.
Then, on National Bureau of Standards identification of DRE problems:
In his prescient survey of voting systems written in 1988, Roy Saltman of the National Bureau of Standards identified four problem areas in verifying the outcome of computerized elections: the absence of a paper audit trail, poor program design, trade secrecy provisions that stop public officials from examining those programs, and inadequate administrative oversight. The new DRE systems introduced in the wake of the 2000 election suffered from every one of these pitfalls . The risk, he wrote, was that these oversights would be tantamount to an abdication of control over elections to vendors.
But what about the potential to actually steal elections?
The above discussion, though noting numerous problems with DREs, doesnt necessarily imply their potential to be used to steal elections. Here are some discussions applicable to that issue:
Gumbel talks about how Bev Harris came upon files of code for Diebold machines on the internet. Harris copied these files and made them available to computer scientists, so that they could examine the files and ascertain their potential. Here is what Avi Rubin and his associates at Johns Hopkins University found:
What they found left them so incredulous describe the Diebold code as amateurish, stunningly inadequate, and downright scary . Every single Deibold machine was crackable A malevolent developer could easily make changes to the code that would create vulnerabilities to be later exploited on Election Day. Specifically, it was possible through a variety of techniques to alter the outcome of an election without leaving a trace.
The above findings were opinions put forth by computer scientists. To better make the connection to reality, Gumbel goes on to describe how the use of these machines likely affected the 2002 mid-term elections in Georgia, which were totally conducted by DREs:
On June 10 <2002> six tabulation machines and a touch-screen voting terminal were stolen . The theft was also an extremely serious security breach, because a technically adept hacker who gained access to the tabulation machines and the associated GEMS election management software could effortlessly and undetectably alter the outcome of an election not only in Georgia but anywhere in the United States where Diebold machines were used.
The November 2002 elections in Georgia were screwy in more ways than one. The state had its share of machine malfunctions Most troublesome, however, were the results of the races for governor and U.S. Senate, which suggested wild double-digit swings in favor of the Republican candidates from the final pre-election opinion polls. Sonny Perdue became the first Republican governor to be elected since Reconstruction, thanks to a sixteen point swing away from the Democratic incumbent, Roy Barnes. And Saxby Chambliss, the colorless Republican Senate candidate, pulled off an upset victory against the popular Vietnam War veteran Max Cleland, representing a nine- to twelve-point swing But it wasnt just the opinion polls that were at variance with the result. The voting pattern was also drastically different from Georgias open primary in 74 counties in the Democrat-heavy south of the state, Chambliss improved on his own standing by a whopping 22 points. Were these statistical anomalies, or was something fishier going on? In the absence of a paper backup, or of any hint of transparency from state officials, the question was for the most part unanswerable.
Some observations on possible intentions of voting machine companies
I was particularly struck by a couple of observations noted by Gumbel which, in my opinion, may shed considerable light on the intentions of voting machine companies:
Gumbel notes that many of Diebolds internal e-mails were leaked. Some made a big point of the need to have access to vote counting codes from outside during an election. Gumbel comments on this:
Quite why the Diebold system needed to be accessed from the outside a blatant security breach is not explained
(but later, a partial explanation is offered):
Easy access had got people out of a bind in the past.
Then Gumbel goes on to talk about the almost universal resistance of at least some DRE manufacturers to include auditable paper trails in an election:
Of all the arguments deployed by the touch-screen apologists, the resistance to a paper trail was by some distance the most perplexing, and also the one most in need of unpicking it was unclear whether the internal audit logs could be trusted any more than the official tallies, or even if election officials could be relied upon to produce them when asked. In the wake of the 2002 midterm elections in Georgia, activists spent more than a year firing off letters to request the zero tapes but never received a thing in return
In other words, DRE vendors often insist on being able to access their machines from the outside during an election, and on the absence of paper trails two recipes for elections theft.
The put down of "conspiracy theorists"
Up until this point, I found Gumbels discussion of the whole issue to be thorough, well thought out, and very illuminating the most illuminating discussion on this topic that I have ever read. It seemed to me that he had made an excellent case for being very concerned about theft of the 2004 election. But then, when he comes to actually discussing the implications of all this to the 2004 election results Gumbel seems to throw all of his scientific and disciplined thinking out the window, in an attempt to deflect concern about what happened in the 2004 election.
After noting that all three of the major voting machine vendors for 2004 (Diebold, ES&S, Sequoia) had ties to the Republican Party, and after noting the promise of Diebolds CEO, Wally ODell, to deliver the votes of Ohio to George Bush, Gumbel goes on:
Indeed, it became fashionable to see Diebold as the spearhead of some dark conspiracy in which corporate America and the Republican Party had joined forces to undermine democracy and achieve a total lock on the levers of power. Like all conspiracy theories, this one had some elements of validity . But the scenario was almost certainly overblown, for a couple of reasons. First, the root problem was not the political allegiance of the voting machine companies; it was the reliability of their products.
This has to be one of the most ridiculous statements Ive ever heard. After making the case in great detail in the preceding pages that DREs can be used to steal elections and probably have been used to steal elections (though he doesnt use those words), he goes on to say that the root problem is not the political allegiance of the voting machine companies, but the reliability of their product. Well, here we have both an unreliable product, a product capable of being used to steal elections (as Gumbel pointed out, the 2002 Georgia elections for Governor and Senator involved 16 and 9 to 12 point swings from pre-election polls, both favoring the Republican candidates), AND obvious political allegiance to the Republican Party.
Gumbel then states the second reason why he says that we conspiracy theorists have overblown the situation:
Second, the idea that the big three manufacturers were somehow corporate titans on a par with the Big Three automakers in Detroit was laughable.
Well, that statement is laughable. Who is claiming that the voting machine companies are as wealthy or powerful as the Big Three automakers? And what does that have to do with whether their machines can be used to steal elections?
Specific references to the 2004 Presidential election
Heres what Gumbel has to say specifically about the 2004 election:
The 2004 election, as we now know, did not result in the meltdown many people predicted, largely because Bushs margin of victory was just comfortable enough to prevent litigation or more than background rumbles about the reliability and veracity of the result .
Victory was comfortable enough to prevent litigation? Is he kidding? The contesting of this election is still very much alive in the courts
Gumbel continues:
The problem with a lot of the Kerry won arguments was that their proponents were allowing wishful thinking to cloud their analysis
Campaigners might have wanted to believe that the speaker of the Florida House had consulted a software expert on how to rig DRE machines
Huh? Gumbel must be referring here to Clint Curtis sworn testimony before Congress to the effect that Tom Feeney, later to be Speaker of the Florida House, had requested him to write a program that would switch votes from one candidate to another and be undetectable (Curtis also testified that Feeney stated that this program would be needed to control the Democratic vote in south Florida). So, is Gumbel saying that if we believe Curtis testimony we are guilty of wishful thinking? And is he aware that the man charged with investigating Curtis allegations, Raymond Lemme, told Curtis that he had tracked the corruption all the way to the top just two weeks before he conveniently committed suicide?
Then Gumbel continues with another put down to conspiracy theorists, specifically with references to the Ohio election.
some of the statistical data inconveniently challenged the conspiracy theorists. First, Bushs margin of well over one hundred thousand votes proved well-nigh unassailable, even after a recount that was requested That kind of number cant easily be created out of thin air by electronic tabulation machines, especially in a state relying almost exclusively on re-countable paper ballots.
Well, that would be a terrific rebuttal to us conspiracy theorists IF one of our main arguments was that over 100,000 votes could easily be created out of thin air by electronic tabulation machines. I dont think that many of us have claimed that it would be easy. To the contrary, we believe that Kenneth Blackwell, Ohios Secretary of State, had to work very hard to steal Ohio for Bush. And as far as Ohio being a state relying almost exclusively on re-countable paper ballots, the paper ballots were never re-counted and the tabulating of county-wide votes was performed by central computers. Furthermore, registration of new voters, and PURGING of voters was done electronically.
And Gumbel continues:
Second, Kerry did too well in certain key areas to support any argument that his votes were suppressed
Gumbels point here being that Kerry did better than Gore in many areas, so we shouldnt complain. Well, of course he did better than Gore. In 2000 Ohio wasnt considered a competitive state, whereas in 2004 it was considered very competitive. So of course Kerry would have to do considerably better than Gore in many areas of the state in order to carry Ohio. And both pre-election polls (showing a tossup) and exit polls (Kerry by 4.2%) showed that Kerry did do considerably better than Gore, who lost Ohio to Bush by 4%.
Gumbel begins his book with an interesting and informative history of election fraud in the United States. His lengthy and thorough discussion later in the book of how DRE voting machines are now threatening our democracy is excellent, and provides a prima facie case for, at the very least, the need for U.S. citizens to demand a meaningful investigation into the 2004 Presidential election. I make this statement based on three crucial points made by Gumbel:
1) His thorough discussion on how our DRE machines are vulnerable to fraud, accompanied by evidence (for example, Georgia 2002, which manifested large swings from pre-election polls for the Governor and Senate races) that they have been used to commit fraud (though he doesnt use that word).
2) Evidence of intention to commit fraud by the DRE vendors, in that they aggressively insist on maintaining features that facilitate fraud, including the absence of a paper trail, access to the system from outside, and refusal to allow public (or even election officials) access to the source code.
3) Ties of the major three DRE vendors to the Republican Party, as well as the aggressive efforts of Ohios Secretary of State, Kenneth Blackwell, to suppress Democratic voter registration prior to the 2004 election, such as excluding registration forms that didnt meet very specific and arbitrary specifications, and refusing to provide provisional ballots to voters who attempted to vote in the wrong precinct, in conjunction with numerous instances of Democratic voters being contacted and told to vote in the wrong precinct.
To those who would object to my assertion that the above points constitute prima facie evidence of the need for a thorough investigation of the Ohio election, on the basis that only a small number of Ohio counties used DREs to count the votes within individual precincts, I have this to say: Both the central tabulation of votes and the registration of voters in many counties were accomplished by electronic machines, and for practical purposes we can assume that the fraud facilitating features that Gumbel enumerated in item # 2 above were present: The source code was considered proprietary and therefore inaccessible to the public; although a paper trail was theoretically available for most of the state, there was only a 3% recount performed in 87 of Ohios 88 counties, and numerous infractions of Ohios election rules had to be committed in order to ensure that no more than 3% of the state was recounted and that the 3% recount matched the official results, as described starting on page 36 of this report; and, we have no reason to believe that the Secretary of State did not have access to the source files.
In view of all this, I find Gumbels dismissal as conspiracy theorists of those of us who believe that the Ohio election was probably stolen, to be very odd to say the least. Whereas the rest of the book is very well documented and presented in a disciplined and scholarly manner, his presentation of the 2004 election provides a stark contrast by comparison, in its sloppiness and illogical conclusions. He acknowledges most of the major irregularities that characterized the Ohio election, including the fake terrorist alert that Warren County officials used as an excuse to count the votes in private, the totally inadequate allocation of voting machines to Franklin County Democratic precincts, Blackwells suppression of Democratic voter registration (though he apparently is not aware that 165,000 voters were purged, apparently selectively and illegally, from Cuyahoga County alone), and the voter reports of electronic switching of votes from one candidate to another (but without noting that virtually all of these episodes favored Bush). But he doesnt appear to be concerned as to how these episodes may have affected the election results. Most importantly, he claims that there was a recount in Ohio, without noting any of the serious problems with that recount.
I believe that failure to convince people that the 2004 Presidential election was very likely stolen will continue to facilitate a climate of apathy on this issue in our country that will make meaningful election reform a lotless likely. As Mark Crispin Miller says in his new book, Fooled Again How the Right Stole the 2004 Election & Why Theyll Steal the Next One Too (Unless We Stop Them):
To recognize that Bush & Co. stole their re-election, or at least to open ones mind to the possibility, and to demand a new and unconstrained investigation into what went down in 2004, is a cognitive and moral action vital to the health of this republic.

We study several combinations of coalition attack strategy vs. suspicion function optimized against some attack (another attack or the same). In many of these combinations the usual scaling $\\ell \\propto c^2$ is replaced by a lower power of $c$, e.g. $c^{3/2}$. We find that the interleaving strategy is an especially
powerful attack, and the suspicion function tailored against interleaving is effective against all considered attacks.

After a number of seed oblivious transfers linear in the security parameter, the construction uses only primitives from Minicrypt (i.e., private-key cryptography) per gate in the circuit (hence the name MiniLEGO).
On the contrary of original LEGO, MiniLEGO is compatible with all known optimization for Yao garbled gates (row reduction, free-XORs, point-and-permute).
The Information Security Group (ISG) at Royal Holloway, University of London is looking for outstanding young graduates to fill 10 well-funded doctoral studentships in Cyber Security starting in October 2013.
The ISG is one of the largest and longest-established academic research groups working in cyber security, with a community of 15 academic staff, 10 postdocs and 40 PhD students. The ISG has a wide range of research interests related to cyber security, including the basic components of security services, such as cryptographic algorithms and trusted hardware; management of cryptographic keys; the correctness of the design and implementation of security protocols; the design of security services for embedded systems, business information systems, telecommunications networks and critical infrastructure; the detection and analysis of malware; and the study of economics, psychology, organizational theory, design theory and sociology in the context of information and cyber security.
We will consider applications from candidates with undergraduate and master\\\'s qualifications in a wide range of disciplines, including, but not limited to, mathematics, computer science, and electrical and electronic engineering. Funding is provided by the EPSRC (the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council), so full studentships are available to UK residents only (see http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/skills/students/help/Pages/eligibility.aspx for further details).
Further details of the research interests of the ISG can be found at http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/bin/staff-dir.php. Informal enquiries about the studentships can be made to Dr Carlos Cid, Prof. Jason Crampton, Prof. Keith Martin or Prof. Kenny Paterson ({carlos.cid,jason.crampton,keith.martin,firstname.lastname@example.com). Further information about applying for the PhD programme at Royal Holloway is available at http://www.rhul.ac.uk/studyhere/research
We also present a simple proof of security within the concept of Deterministic Authenticated Encryption (DAE) introduced by Rogaway and
Shrimpton. We extend the setting by allowing the adversary to query the permutation and following the indifferentiability setting in the security proof of the sponge construction.
We consider security against adversaries that control all network traffic, can register arbitrary public keys, and can retrieve session keys. We do not attempt to mitigate damage from hardware failures, such as session-state compromise, as we aim to improve our understanding of this simpler setting. We give two natural but substantially different game based definitions of security and prove that they are equivalent. Such proofs are rare for SKA. The bulk of this proof consists of showing that, for secure protocols, only compatible processes can be made to share a key. This property is very natural but surprisingly subtle. For comparison, we give a version of our definition in which processes output session IDs and we give strong theorems relating these two types of definitions.
Our main result, however, is about meta-reductions and the question if this technique can be used to further strengthen the separations above. Our answer is negative. We present, to the best of our knowledge for the first time, limitations of the meta-reduction technique in the sense that finding a meta-reduction for general reductions is most likely infeasible. In fact, we prove that finding a meta-reduction against a potential reduction is equivalent to finding a ``meta-meta-reduction\'\' against the strong existential unforgeability of the signature scheme. This means that the existence of a meta-reduction implies that the scheme must be insecure (against a slightly stronger attack) in the first place.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Hello, I'm Dr Gary. I've been practicing veterinary medicine since 2007. I look forward to helping with your questions/ concerns.
I would agree that it sounds like he just over did it on the concrete. This can lead to wearing down and sloughing of the pads.
You can use a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or SSD (silver sulfadiazine) to help them heal up a bit faster. I would also keep him cage rested for 1-2 weeks to help prevent him from making them worse.
If you can get some pain meds from your vet, like Rimadyl, that would also be nice. They should heal up nicely for you.
Thanks, Doc. I'm not sure if you can see the pasted photo, but if so, you can see the redness between the pads -- as well as the missing pad. It's pretty much the same on all four paws. I'll try the cage rest and Rimadyl and see how it goes. Thanks.
No, unfortunately I can't see that image.
I know how these guys can look. We see it a lot after dogs get hit by cars as they'll burn off the pads on the pavement. It can look pretty ugly when the pads peel off. The good thing is that they heal up well, similar to losing a fingernail in people.
Thanks - just one final question that I neglected to mention at the start. He's been home all day and when I got home tonight to let him out, he didn't urinate. He hobbled around outside, but wanted to go back inside without doing any business. His last poop was 24 hrs ago, and last urinated about 10 hours ago. Is there a point when I should be concerned? Thanks.
I would just feed him normally and take him out a few minutes after. That should stimulate him to have a bowel movement and he should urinate then as well. It probably just hurts to posture to go to the bathroom so he's being reluctant.
Thanks for the advice. I suspect that lifting his leg doesn't feel that good right now, so he might be holding it instead. Have a good night.

The Viral Campaign: People "Just Ran with It"
The official Brown online presence spawned independent online activity. "What was missing is that they were getting local supporters but there was no [broader] visibility," says John LaRosa, an independent Boston-area business and political consultant, and a Brown supporter. LaRosa began his own active Brown tweeting, as @jslconsulting, creating the Twitter hashtag #41stvote, a reference to the fact that Brown's election would break the Democrats' 60-vote filibuster-proof Senate majority.
"The 41stvotew hashtag crystallized things, I think, nationally," LaRosa says. "That created urgency. Without urgency, you have no sale." A Tweetstats analysis of @scottbrownma, shows that 41stvote was one of the top five words in that tweetcloud and one of the top five hashtags.
LaRosa also began leveraging his own online connections and networks on behalf of the Brown campaign. "I had personally followed some conservative bloggers, and I started commenting on their blogs, pitching the idea that Brown is the '41st vote,'" he says. "Several of them, with big [online] followings began blogging and tweeting." They also contacted mainstream media, such as conservative radio talkshow host Laura Ingraham
"I did not have interaction with the campaign staff," LaRosa says. "I just ran with it. Lots of people like me just ran with it."
In early January, several events crystallized Brown's candidacy and brought national attention. On Jan. 5, a Rasmussen poll of likely voters found Brown trailing Coakley by only nine points, an unexpectedly narrow margin. "Rasmussen is on Twitter and that poll got spread by everybody who follows politics," LaRosa says. "Every political junkie said 'wow, this guy has a chance in the most liberal state.' They all became reporters."
On Jan. 9, Public Policy Polling, a Democratic-affiliated polling firm, reported that Brown was leading Coakley by one point. On Jan. 11, the Brown campaign launched a one-day effort to raise $500,000 online, a project dubbed the moneybomb.
The "Moneybomb" Detonates
Campaign workers tracked the contributions, reaching the goal by noon, and then topping $750,000 by late afternoon. "We were kind of watching on Twitter, and Facebook, and the blogs, and the volunteers were saying, 'I think we can go to a million,'" Luidhardt recalls. In response, the campaign chiefs set a new goal of $1 million. By midnight, the total was over $1.3 million. The next day, the campaign raised the same amount again, and nearly $1.7 million the day after that.
"You can't say social media made this happen," LaRosa says. "But without it, it couldn't have happened….It was the network set-up online that responded."
Over the entire campaign, more than $12 million was raised, with Twitter being one of the largest fund-raising channels, according to Luidhardt. The influx of funds made it possible to pour a flood of money in the campaign's last 10 days on conventional campaign tools such as TV, newspaper and radio ads.

« Previous · Tax Update Blog Home · Next »
As most businesses nowadays are pass-through entitites -- S corporations or LLCs -- the scheduled increase in the top individual rate to 39.6% will inevitably increase taxes on business. Supporters of the tax increase say that's just dandy. For example, William Gale argues in the Washington Post (hat tip: Kay Bell):
This claim is misleading. If, as proposed, the Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire for the highest earners, the vast majority of small businesses will be unaffected. Less than 2 percent of tax returns reporting small-business income are filed by taxpayers in the top two income brackets -- individuals earning more than about $170,000 a year and families earning more than about $210,000 a year.
As worthless statistics go, this is definitely one of them. As we noted awhile back, this 2% number comes by counting every schedule C for every part-time moonlighter, Amway salesman, hobby farmer and vacation home renter as a "small business." A successful manufacturer or service business is counted the same as your office Mary Kay seller.
Things look different if you look at the share of small business income that the tax increase will hit. Using 2003 statistics -- the most recent available -- 3% of small businesses had gross receipts over $1 million, but these 3% had 78% of small business receipts and 64% of the small business net income. That means the tax increase hits most of the economic activity of small businesses. It affects the successful businesses, the ones that are growing and are able to hire people. That's a much more important measure than the percentage of Schedule Cs that are affected.

Travis Tomko Update, Nasty Boys Return, & More
Source: The Wrestling Observer
-- As noted before, Travis Tomko was released from jail late last month and is headed to rehab, paid for by WWE. Tomko and his wife Michelle lost their home due to foreclosure and due to family financial problems, he was forced to sit in jail since they couldn't raise the bond money. Tomko received an eviction notice to move out of their recently auctioned off home on the day he was arrested. Tomko had a reputation in WWE and TNA for living large.
-- The Nasty Boys—Brian Knobs and Jerry Sags—have been announced for K & S Wrestlefest. The event takes place Saturday, December 3 at the Ramada Philadelphia Airport 76 Industrial Hwy. Essington, Pennsylvania.

2006 530xi Headlamp moisture
Hi, I am new to the group and wanted to see if anyone could help. I have condensation/water in my driver side front headlight. I believe this is why I am getting an adaptive light error message. Any suggestions as a DIY or partial part replacement? I had recently flushed the coolant and then this came on. Not sure if there would be any connection? Any help would be welcome as to what I could do to fix it or what replacement part(s) I wolud need.

Madison Reed is a new subscription service that delivers salon-quality hair color to you each month. I used to dye my hair all the time, but stopped when I had my daughter. I've been dying for a change, so when the company kindly offered me a box to review, I had to say yes!
The Cost: $24.95 per box
The Products: Each month you will receive:
- Radiant Cream Color & Conditioning Color Activator
- Nourishing Color Enhancing Shampoo & Conditioner
- Barrier Cream
- 2 Pair Professional-Grade Gloves
- Cap
- Cleansing Wipes
Madison Reed also allows you to have a flexible subscription time. You can choose to get your box delivered anytime between 4 – 10 weeks depending on how often you need to recolor or touch up your hair. They also have an option to add in extra hair color if your hair is long or thick.
I decided to get Milano Brown and despite having both long and thick hair, I just got the regular box without the add-on hair color.
Everything comes in this sturdy box in its own labelled compartment and attached instructions for easy application for first-timers.
Here is a close-up of some of the instructions. I used to spread out the hair color any which way and hope for the best. I love being able to see how it is actually supposed to be done. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow.
I love the presentation of this box. Everything is clearly labeled in its own compartment.
Thoughts: I loved the ease of the application and everything smelled incredible! I felt great using the hair dye because it was ammonia, paraben, PPD and resorcinal free. As I mentioned previously, I have long, thick hair (it's not as nice as it may sound!) and I regretted opting for just the regular box without the extra coloring add-on because I ended up needing it. My plan was to do before and after shots, but because I didn't have enough color, my hair did not lighten as much as I would have liked. My highlights did turn a beautiful shade of brown, but there is no real noticeable difference. I will be trying Madison Reed again, except with the right amount of hair dye and I will be sure to do another review with my results.
