This week on CyberSpeak, a quick thanks to everyone for pitching in on the ForensicsWiki - I saw over 100 new entries on everything from Sticky notes, mounting images, jump lists to people's BIOS. Jim Emailed asking who the mystery voice was in out CyberSpeak Sweepers - Karl over from CyberCon Security Solutions said wrote in to say he just ran across this site today and thought it might be a great resource for the listeners. It is not focused on Cyber Security but the concepts are the similar to help prepare for trial. LAW 101: LEGAL GUIDE FOR THE FORENSIC EXPERT. Shout out to Charles. Finally, Loren Wrote in and said during the interview, Keith Jones mentioned preparing for court by asking others for their opinions. Are there any ramifications of bringing others into the case like that?

A TAX on football department spending and shared match-day revenues are among several new socialist measures being considered by the AFL.
The league has also proposed taking greater control of clubs' revenue streams and increasing the centralised pool of money distributed to struggling clubs amid concerns the rich clubs are ''outpacing'' the rest of the competition.
The ''luxury tax'', as floated in a discussion paper sent to clubs as part of a review of the AFL's equalisation policy, would not lead to clubs being restricted by a cap on their football department spending.
It would instead mean that clubs that exceeded a predetermined level of non-player football spending are taxed - say, 20¢ in the dollar once they passed the limit - with the money placed into a central pool.
Another proposal would mean clubs would split game-day revenue, including gate receipts and possibly including reserved seats and membership takings.
Home clubs retain all gate receipts, although Collingwood and Essendon are among the few clubs that split the takings from their two games each season.
Many of the poorer clubs struggle to profit from home games, such as the Western Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium, highlighting the gulf between them and the wealthy sides.
Figures sent to clubs last month as part of a discussion paper on the AFL's equalisation policy show the richest four clubs have generated an average $10.7 million a year of club-sourced revenue since 2004, more than $6 million above the bottom four clubs and well above the $7.4 million league average.
The gap between the top four and bottom four clubs in net club-sourced revenue has also increased in the past eight years, from $4.7 million a year in 2004 to $7.3 million last year. Net club-sourced revenue includes such things as sponsorships, signage, events, fund-raising, hospitality, match receipts, membership and merchandise.
The big four clubs have also broken further away from the eight middle-tier teams, with the gap rising from $2.7 million in 2004 to $5.2 million in 2012, and the richest clubs also proving the most successful.
The performances of the AFL's two new clubs - Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney - was not factored into the figures circulated to clubs.
The AFL's research has noted that the ''larger'' four clubs have featured in the finals 21 times in the past seven years, compared with just 12 appearances by the four smallest clubs.
In the past four years, the four smallest clubs have made it to September just three times, compared with 10 appearances by the four richest clubs.
Further research has shown the rich clubs are also outscoring the others - a gap that has widened in the past two seasons.
Clubs have also been asked for their thoughts on taxes or levies being applied to club-sourced revenues beyond the $2 gate levy that is currently applied to adult tickets, as is the case in most major North American sports such as the National Basketball Association and Major League Baseball.
This idea would result in the larger clubs paying more into the pool than they receive, and the smaller clubs receiving more than they contribute.
The AFL has also asked for feedback on a proposal that would give the league control of more of the clubs' revenue streams for distribution to the poorer clubs - something that would be applied where the league was able to generate a larger return than the clubs could.
Clubs have been asked to submit their thoughts on the equalisation policy by next week, ahead of a meeting of the chief executives, presidents and AFL executive in March.
Emma Quayle joined The Age as a cadet journalist in 1999 and has been covering football since 2001.

Select a topic or year
Samuel J. Palmisano, IBM chairman, president and chief executive officer, met with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to discuss IBM's new initiatives in Egypt focused on scientific research and information technology exports, which are part of the company's increased focus on growth markets around the world.
Mr. Palmisano also met with Prime Minister Dr. Ahmed Nazif to discuss possible cooperation between the Government of Egypt and IBM in various sectors of the economy.
"Egypt faces a major opportunity; the seat of one of the world's oldest civilizations is now an emerging player onto the world stage of a new, globalized economy," Mr. Palmisano said. "I am impressed and optimistic about its future because of the way it is nurturing its talent, its human resources and its technical potential. These initiatives announced today mark IBM's deep commitment to strengthening that process of growth and opportunity and extending the long and highly successful partnerships we have enjoyed in Egypt."
The Service Delivery Center, IBM's first such center in the region, initially employs 100 persons and is expected to grow to as many as 1,000 employees within the next few years. It provides a full range of business consulting, cross-industry expertise, application development and maintenance, software testing and embedded software development services.
In addition to clients in the region, the delivery center already is serving clients in France, Germany, Spain, Sweden and the U.S. because of the strong language skills found in Egypt and the government's focus on building IT skills.
One of the agreements signed today by the Government of Egypt and IBM will establish a center in Cairo for research and development in nanotechnology with advanced cooperation between Egyptian and international scientific teams. Under a second agreement, Egypt and IBM will work together to introduce Services Science, Management and Engineering (SSME) into the Egyptian National Curriculum.
The two agreements are effective immediately and form multi-year strategic commitments between IBM and the Egyptian Government.
Dr. Tarek Kamel, Minister of Communications and Information Technology, praised IBM's plans to increase the number of employees working in the service global delivery center, which he said will contribute to Egypt's drive to export more IT services. He said governmental support for the service delivery center, the nanotechnology center and the SSME curriculum will advance Egypt's National Agenda for growth.
"The launch and successful development of a 100-person center that is expected to grow to eventually employ 1,000 people will result in a culture that will foster and promote a stronger knowledge-based export economy for Egypt," Dr. Kamel said. "Nanotechnology is a new and exciting field for innovation, impacting every industry and has been identified as the way to position Egypt to become part of the next generation technological revolution. The SSME curriculum will provide our students with skills currently in high demand by organizations around the world."
With the assistance of IBM, the Egyptian nanotechnology research center will be equipped with leading-edge equipment and lab facilities. Egyptian scientists and engineers will work side-by-side with IBM scientists and engineers on advanced nanoscience and nanotechnology programs. The work will be coordinated with the efforts of IBM Research labs in Zurich, Switzerland; Almaden, California; and Yorktown Heights, New York.
Nanotechnology is the field of applied science focused on the reliable and repeatable design and control of the structure of very small objects. The length scales range from the atomic to the macroscopic -- generally, from one to 100 nanometers. A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter -- roughly 100,000 times thinner than a human hair.
The agreement to introduce SSME into the Egyptian University Curriculum is recognition of the increased importance of the services industry in the global economy. SSME is a new academic discipline designed to develop the skills required in an increasingly services-based global economy and brings together ongoing work in computer science, operations research, industrial engineering, business strategy, management sciences, social and cognitive sciences, and legal sciences to develop the skills required in services-led organizations.
"The set-up of the nanotechnology center and the introduction of SSME by Egypt and IBM are key to the implementation of Egypt's science and technology strategy that will lead to the development of a knowledge economy, " said Dr. Hany Helal, Minister of Higher Education and State Minister of Scientific Research. "The Government of Egypt's profound commitment to investing wisely in the development of highly skilled, capable young people to take their place in competitive global markets is reflected in our work with IBM to develop the most innovative and relevant learning programs for our students."
IBM has been operating in Egypt since 1954 and has based technology development operations in the country for almost 25 years. The IBM Cairo Technology Center Development currently employs more than 500 software developers, architects and professionals.
The IBM facilities in Egypt play key roles in IBM's ability to serve customers across geographic boundaries, bringing skills to the customer no matter where those skills are based in the world. To sharpen its focus on Egypt and other growth countries in the world, IBM has formed a Growth Markets organization based in Shanghai with regional headquarters in Dubai and Sao Paulo.

Got almond contract for 150.00
Smart beekeepers, don't go to CA unless/until they have written contracts. The price is what is written in the contract, and is not subject to change after the contract is written.OH BOY, here we go again. Honeys not even stacked in the warehouse and beekeepers got the almond dollar signs in their eyes. The price will be what the price will be when all the bees that are going are there. If there is a shortage you will get paid good. If there is an excess of bees the price will soften and your junk will be lined with a big red marker and you will not get paid. IT IS WHAT IT IS WHEN IT IS. you can hold out till the very last second and make an extra 15/hive or end up on the side of I-5 with your bees holding a sign that reads " Bees for rent.....cheap"

The silence on this thread is killing me. I check every now and then thinking there will be news regarding the 2011 gambling with bees event and not a word. Is a deafening silence normal for December? Is this the poker face month?
A blight killed all the almond trees. No bees needed.
(kidding of course)
Look on this silence as the calm before the storm.
I also, was watching this thread very closely and did a lot of searches on google for "almond pollination" with no results. I thought, this year there would be more information in the fall to prevent the last year's problems. Every beekeeper or broker I spoke to is waiting for the after New Year. There were many meetings, conferences in the last month where they talked about almond too, but no one gives a word out. The price will be higher this year, but it is not clear in what range.
Were the Australian packages banned or it is still at the recommendation stage?
I don't know, if there is an more interesting topic at this time of the year other than almond pollination pirces.
A broker told me that this was normal (as you guys said) and everyone is eating Christmas cookies. I guess we will all have to wait to see how many bees made it to California alive.
Regards, Barry
Greatings,y am a beekeper from romania,in ouer contry Romania wee,the beekeper and ouer honey bee wee polinate for free,and farmers they repayes us by kiling ouer honey bees with pesticides
2011 Almond prices are $140
There is an ad in the Modesto Bee for bees at $145. At these prices I am sure glad I am using my own bees for pollinating my almonds.
The last two years I had huge winter losses (over 50%) and had to rent bees for the first time in 20 years. This year is defiantly better and my winter losses are less running than 10%.
We are in the Fresno - Coalinga area.
Yeasterday 1/25/11 I visted a grower near Coalinga (told me we charged to much at $140.00) He paid $110.00 for dead bees shiped out from back east. There were tens of thousands of dead bees which were being cleaned out by the worker bees, in some places they were 2 inches thick in a 2' X 2' area outside the hive. I would be supprised if the queens were even alive. I told him we sold dead bees for only $1.00 per pound and for what he paid for the number of dead bees he had, he could of saved $60.00 per hive.
Has anyone heard "you get what you pay for"
Why would you risk your annual income for a few dollars??
Cheap things are of no value, Valuable things are not cheap!
Yea, cheap bees are cheap bees. Those dead ones arent the greatest pollinators though. Sounds like the east coast bee keeper needs some Happy Harrisons Hive Revive with top ingredients such as tomato juice and castor oil. Little dab will do ya.
I raised my pollination price one year, after having the same price for many years. One grower said, "About time, wasn't it?" They know it costs to keep bees going.

Greetings to you Kovaci, That happens here too at times.
In our commercial cherry orchard we pollinated with 1/acre. That was from 1953 until last month when my Mom sold it.

Approaching THE Role of Art-Making and the Arts in the Research University with caution: a response to Universities in the Service of the Imagination
Posted by Moxie Supper
I danced in my seat to what turned out to be an enjoyable conventional role for the band: background music, organized sound to help focus time spent waiting for the speakers, entrance and exit music, pretty sonic bookends.
I liked this music, and entertained (some of the Gratitude Steel Band's role of course was to entertain) ideas of allowing movement of my body to interact with the sound of Gratitude, to be sculpted and resculpted according to tempo, modulation, and rhythm more visibly, right up there on the stage, but knowing what happened to Whitney Houston, whose established role has been stage performance, when she wanted to respond more forcefully to Prince's music at his concerts, I decided against possibly being taken to rehab where some of the role of art-making would be therapeutic. I didn't hide these simple involuntary rhythmic responses to Gratitude's music, but responses were tamed; there was no Pentecostal context that couldn't be over-ridden; no Baptist fervor to which I might respond in an ecstasy of salvation and a personal relationship with Jesus that makes my mother dance, that enables dancing with a Holy Ghost partner, as most other times, she needs a walker (or the return of my father after 30 years in the grave —she believes that's possible too). So there is power in vibrations pulsing through the body, temporarily regulating movements of components of body to these rhythms that are incredibly intimate, invisibly entering ears, tickling cilia, Holy tickling when God is vibrating in a sermon, in a gospel choir, in responses to calls from praying deacons and deaconesses. In those moments in which body and sound are linked, there is collaboration, one informing another, inciting another to more intensity to a peak preceding decline at which point feeling and memory have chances to prolong effects and to shape meanings, heart rate gradually decreasing, temperature dropping, little transparent pills of sweat evaporating into an atmosphere that was a component of host system of event, that atmosphere marked with evaporation. What was built dissipated, including a promise I'd built for the event, seduced by role, art-making, art, and research cozy in the same sentence, not even separated by commas in the printed program. Members of the same family, royal cousins marrying (distant) cousins to keep their elite advantage elite, exclusive; side-by-side on a research throne.
The Role should have alerted me more quickly than it did; perhaps I was too caught up in hope that I was configuring with my own ideas about art-making, art, and research interfaces, hope that I also knew to function as an intangible snare that can exert enormous power because it often wrangles spirit, mind which many consider the throne of thinking, creativity, and imagination. But I knew to question knowing, so I slid comfortably into that hope, accepting my role in accepting what was to be offered about the role. Before long, after listening to speakers validate art-making and the arts through art's ability to produce and maintain cultural relevance, through art-making and the arts exercising of the senses, and through art-making and the arts' key roles as connections that enable relationships between senses and mind, and between senses and imagination, art-making and art outcomes as evidence, witnesses, and offspring of these relationships, it became necessary to reconfigure my expectations. Because of art-making and art's association with creativity, almost considered, it seemed from the talks, co- and the only owners of creativity, as if all that is made (by humans in particular, in this role-establishing event) is not also created, as if create did not mean to make, initially without restriction on what is made or created, as if creativity no longer can or perhaps even should mean only a process of creative ability or a process of ability to make —anything. There, it's true that art may be an outcome of such making, such creation, as anything else made may be. Art is not the only baby made as outcomes of making. Science without creativity? without making anything? without any innovation? How to get ideas for an experiment? How to create something to research? To create a surgical procedure? To make prosthetics? The art of breast augmentation, the art-making of breast implants, the less common art of breast reduction (some geometry there, some parabolic hocus-pocus)? Creative writing and no other written forms may be considered forms of expression? Things can be created, can be made that are functional with or without an additional aesthetic classification (creating taxonomies? lexicons? dictionaries? evolutionary trees (phylogenetic trees) that both inform and beautify?) that would not necessarily be permanent or universal, beauty being variable, interpretable, shifting culturally, personally, etc., having definitions that are also made (lip plates, neck rings, manolo blahnik stilettos).
JUXTAPOSED WITH X-RAY OF WOMAN'S FOOT IN SERVICE TO some of THE ART-MAKING OF FOOT BINDING AND some of THE ART OF UNBINDING THE FOOT so as to, in part, collaborate with more space
Above: some economy of image; a visual poam.
I'm probably beating this point to the death of aesthetic quality: I am creating that death, taking responsibility for the quality of that death, making it in a piece of writing, that in order to be a poem, would necessarily offer a lesson in the economy of words, to quote the keynote speaker who expressed the value of poetry as a literary location where we learn the economy of words, a statement fraught with assumption that does not serve well a position of universities in service to imagination. Indeed, the talks, with a notable exception, were fraught with assumption, assumption that confined thinking to a relationship with that assumption, and a path that leads from that assumption to extensions of that assumption that go somewhere, yes; but only where that assumption can go; possibilities of that assumption, perhaps apparently infinite, but a limited infinity, infinite within a context based on assumption. This statement from the keynote speaker betrays a lack of imagination in defining poetry, in a failure to allow for a possibility of a more complex configuration of a system of poetry that is itself configurable; indeed, shockingly betrays, since the speaker decided to go there, proclaiming an embrace of poetry as an example of a university (she has the agency as president to represent one) caught in the act of serving imagination; rather shockingly betrays a lack of knowledge about existing and emerging forms of poetry (and suggests a lack of having entertained a possibility of emerging forms of poetry), a betrayal that is a form of disservice to imagination in its imposing on poetry, whether intentionally or not, a narrow and traditional configuration that apparently doesn't advocate exploration or experimentation or innovation: three components of research. Most surprising and disappointing to me is how embedded in the statement is an assumption that poetry could be static, relatively unchanging so that the role assigned to it at some unspecified point in time (in order for assumption to have become a part of the speaker's knowledge in which she has confidence so does not doubt the statement despite its lack of imagination) remains poetry's role. Poetry's, it would seem, unchanging and unchangeable role.
Because of poetry's intense (but not exclusive) association with metaphor (a form of equation), poetry may be easily considered a reliable source for lexical comparisons and equivalences that even science might turn to when, say, a discovery is made in, say, Biochemistry, for which there might not already be in place a classification, an established reference for something new, something emerging, metaphor serving as placeholder, or a helper to introduce something new through linking it to something already familiar as a (temporary) point of reference. Metaphor offers a formula for comparison (a form of interaction) whose possibilities have not been exhausted if in service to possibilities of metaphor, those serving those possibilities delve beyond (created) confines of how that formula has been applied. Using the mind at all, whether performing complex mathematical computations or composing a sonata or slamming a poem in a bar, for instance, involves biochemical and electrical processes in the brain. That very brain that produces science also produces art-making, the arts, and imagination; the brain is in service to all of these, that mock mushy cauliflower of brain —metaphor alert!— is the throne which they occupy, share. Metaphor is able to anchor itself in both the known and the emerging, the dull and the lively simultaneously, offering dual lenses that offer more opportunities when those lenses are not identical, when they share something akin to left and right hemispheric flavors of a brain. It can maintain a foothold in the known (a kind of root system) while bifurcating into less known areas —as when, for instance, SEM imagery reveals structures on scales for which existing terminology seems to suffer from temporary or apparent inexactitude, and metaphor helps, (perhaps temporarily) configure understanding through a link of new and unnamed with something known that apparently has (perhaps only superficially) similar features or structures or behaviors until such time as more is known about a discovery to render metaphor unnecessary except for aesthetic purposes that help transform science itself into its visual aesthetic potential or its sonic aesthetic potential or its tactile aesthetic potential without additional drawing or painting or rhyming or dancing: science itself may have aesthetic potential and value of its own. Senses of anyone (scientists and strippers, for instance, or scientists who are strippers) can lead to pleasure and disgust, and encourage a seeking of what provides pleasure. Science is not exempt from pleasure-seeking. Entire industries depend on a love of pleasure-seeking and temporary pleasure-finding, that like hunger and satiation, tends to be cyclic, recurring, necessary for some success of capitalism. An initial look at what SEM imagery reveals invites visual associations, connections with what is already in a seer's visual memory bank
(I am presuming visual ability and visual success; I am not addressing tactile modalities of engagement —please pardon the negligence— but in tactile engagement of images, there are still possibilities of identifying familiarity of structural interface with fingertips; I think of Touch the Universe, for instance, a book that makes meaningful cosmic structures through tactile engagement for the visually impaired)
—something familiar might be recognized, perhaps erroneously in a first encounter in which excitement's role might not be well controlled, enabling cross-scale connections, maybe even identification of a structural icon that seems to repeat throughout existence on multiple scales —a basic unit of structure, a basic unit of structure available to host configurable meanings, an ability that is essentially collaborative. Of course I have assumptions of my own. I'm offering alternative assessment to that role and to that service than what was so narrowly presented and, accordingly, likely also narrowly considered.
Like many there, I too have interest in collaboration and attempt to make collaborative ventures a routine part of my practice (indeed; I believe that making collaborative ventures a routine part of practice is inevitable, inescapable, a default mode of existing as long as that existence and its components have contact with anything). Most speakers acknowledged interdisciplinarity, were champions of it, supporters of a predictable range of intellectual and aesthetic cross-pollination, that is to say, expected mergers, infusing science and engineering with various modalities of creative process: visual, sonic, tactile, moving, implying that: All will explore art-making and the arts, but without a corresponding demand for art-makers to infuse their practice with more intellectual accountability and protocols of good experimentation (which would include good documentation), some of which might parallel protocols of scientific experimentation or even extend and/or reconfigure what good experimentation can be as it too evolves. There also happens to be some polysyllabic tastiness in the word interdisciplinary; I delight in saying it, and perhaps others do too, after a while becoming enticed by some deliciousness of what happens to tongue, twice kissing backs of upper teeth to say it, a puff of air escaping as mouth purses around ter, and tongue hits a hi-hat palate —some pleasure can be mined there. And that can be enough: mouth and lip service, oral fixation of saying the interdisciplinary-it word daily, proudly, without any unexpected interdisciplinary action following. I say this because of a tendency to mine for rather predictable products; sciences elevating art-making through pairings of artists with scientists and engineers, those who can supply technical interfaces of discovery and breakthrough offering what is more likely to elude someone whose training has been limited to creative rigor rather than quantitative rigor, competing, some thing, systems of logic and insight.
Speaking the interdisciplinary system activated by speaking fork (a video illustrating an essay on Limited Fork Theory: and its offering of multiple ways of studying interacting systems):
Though perhaps unintentional, it did seem that a consensus among speakers (there was one notable exception) was that research components of the university were more likely to elevate and extend expectations of art-making and the arts, through finding ways of integrating (appreciation of) art-making and the arts (as conventionally defined) into research practices, art-making and the arts benefiting from this association, as if without this association, art-making and the arts might not take on a certain kind of heft, certain kind of consequence, certain kind of intellectual respect. Some art-makers do of course maintain infusions of intellectual accountability in their practice, but the role of art-making and the arts in the research university is not to be configured as a broadening of such infusions or an exploring of intellectual rigor of art-making, encouraging emergence of theories of both personal and general art-making based on, for instance, rigorous study of decisions made, outcomes of attempts, reconfigurations and revisions of questions being asked as emerging answers are evaluated, or as alternatives to having to have answers are both imagined and constructed, art-making process documented carefully and analyzed, perhaps exposing rules at work in process, and offering opportunities to vary those rules, to explore making according to variable rules of experiments in making —this to address accountability of any maker, and to help any maker develop a vocabulary for each instance of making practice. Reversal of flexibility given to science and engineering to find value in art-making and the arts was not given to art-making and the arts to find value in science and engineering as host of connection. It became clear just what was being designated savior (of art -making and the arts) and what was being designated (in need of being) saved. Science and engineering host, invite art-making and the arts to bring creative process into disciplines of science and engineering but art-making and the arts are not viewed as hosts of science and engineering, as providers of viable sources for, for example, conventional NSF fundable and career-making experiment configuration.
What is considered Creative Practice does not (have to [when/if it does]) depend on arbitrary gestures.
Art-making and the arts were too defined by most of the speakers for any other possibilities to emerge. Paths offered are well-established. Significant and historic trailblazers and their loyal scholar-followers have kept these paths paved and determined, sometimes to a point of rut-formation, a sentiment advanced by one of seven speakers who warned against excessive bowing to what has been canonized, and against fortresses of disciplinary silos (forms of Big Bad Wolves) that grow naturally out of internal organizational structures whose roots are dense. More fire from blazing new trails might burn away some of that density, however. In some of these silos, opportunities emerge that are labelled opportunities, such as interdisciplinary opportunities that, unfortunately depend on having divisions that a doctrine of silos creates and maintains. What would/could interdisciplinary studies try to merge if there no clear-cut separate disciplinary silos? These divisions are products of fantasies of silos. Remove fantasy barriers, and connections already present might have opportunity to emerge (become visible to those unable ti see them). Disciplinary silos and their resulting assumptions offer but one system of organization of information, but not a system of information organization that information being organized requires. There are other systems. This current approach to interdisciplinarity betrays itself by seeking to join the disciplines, by accepting the appropriateness of these divisions; interdisciplinarity seems to maintain a loyalty to those disciplines, so will form a seam where these junctures occur, a fault line where these interdisciplinary junctures are vulnerable and susceptible to rupture. Rather easy to rip apart or ignore by moving closer to the interior of a discipline rather than remaining on the boundaries where interaction is less easily avoided. Only those hired or assigned to boundary or fringe positions will commit to an interdisciplinary ideology that occupies boundaries and fringes with them. This is not an integrative approach that assumes information is already connected, and that encourages configurations and reconfigurations of these connections. It is not necessary to build an interdisciplinary bridge to link that which is already linked —throughout, not just on the fringes. Such bridges become necessary when disciplinary silos (and factories of disciplinary silos) have been built, and travel from one silo to another is impeded and perhaps even discouraged by the silos themselves and by associated perceived differences that feed a logic of division and separation. Perhaps a role of art-making and the arts can be some dismantling of silos. Perhaps some of a university's service to imagination can be imagining a university without enforcement of those silos even though Rita Dove in her text poem comments on how erection of (disciplinary) silos does not protect those silos from metaphor, from art-making about the silos themselves; indeed, protection from metaphor fails in the first word, an uncertainty of like, an admitting of doubt, texture of possibility, encouragement of continuing a system of questioning, like what else? and what else? —not in a search for the definitive, but a search for likeness, a study of likeness, a study of an apparent inevitability of likeness should it turn out that there is a like equivalence for anything, for everything, etc.:
Like martial swans in spring paraded against the city sky's
shabby blue, they were always too white and
suddenly there.
They were never fingers, never xylophones, although once
a stranger said they put him in mind of Pan's pipes
and all the lost songs of Greece. But to the townspeople
they were like cigarettes, the smell chewy and bitter
like a field shorn of milkweed, or beer brewing, or
a fingernail scorched over a flame.
No, no, exclaimed the children. They're a fresh packet of chalk,
dreading math work.
They were masculine toys. They were tall wishes. They
were the ribs of the modern world.
Of course, there's more art-making work that can be done upon investigating particular silos, particular circumstances of geography, climate, economy, etc. From what distance does this consideration of silos occur? As that distance changes, as various climates fluctuate, what can be said about particular silos that accounts for some implications of emerging configurable information? From which angles of consideration, etc. Silo uniformity or something else? Which town? Do sociological implications of silos vary from town to town? Small owner silos versus corporate silos? What of silo shadows? Light-interface silo shadows and economic-interface silo shadows, for instance? What happens to abandoned silos? What are circumstances of abandonment? Etc. Do these tall structures of certain towns scrape the sky well? What about other configurations of scraping sky, urban development, satellites, ozone layer, etc.
The role of art-making and the arts wasn't configurable in silos of the speakers' imagination. In those silos that were better entered with compression, not expansion of the mind, in their ability to implement rules of inclusion and exclusion without having to state the rules, I learned that every undergraduate has an opportunity for a meaningful encounter with art at Princeton, the nature of which was not defined, but as it is a meaningful encounter, it could be a singular event
(as opposed to a seeking of a way to integrate that heightened level of perception throughout a life, a student as an integrated person in whom information should mingle anyway, what is encountered across the disciplines converging in a single person, a single life, not a person with silos in the mind to prevent mingling of information from all sources);
a singular event that according to the speaker, exposes non-artist students to that heightened perception artists are known for —heightened perception that non-artist students evidently wouldn't encounter in pursuit of their more practical majors and careers —heightened perception that a meteorologist wouldn't need, that an archeologist would need, that a scientist (paleontologist/molecular biologist, etc.) studying genetic or evolutionary memory wouldn't need in turning back on, genes that have gone dormant in an evolutionary journey from dinosaur to chicken, resulting in these rather imaginative living embryonic sculptures of Gallus gallus domesticus with elongated dinosaurian tails, beaks of jurassic-appropriate teeth, and every reason, from a current status of fossil evidence, to keep their feathers. How much better this work will become once those researchers acquire that heightened perception all undergraduate students will encounter meaningfully at least once: a meaningful encounter. Certainly, nothing in the keynote address precluded undergraduate opportunities for multiple encounters, but heightened perception and heightened sensitivity to how words are used when applied outside of the speaker's customary academic silo —pictures painted with words, sounds words make in translations from transmission to reception, some of it discordant to some ears, and textures of those translations, for instance— might help the speakers at the event better understand (or be able to notice them at all) rules at work in their configurations of research, art-making, and the arts, configurations they in all likelihood inherited, acquired, learned in institutions similar to the research institutions they now lead; configurations that neither research nor imagination helped them reconfigure into discoveries that are less likely, not impossible, but less likely to occur when art-making and the arts are perceived as that which (only) enriches society while scientific research performs, it is implied, some other role in society, something evidently more quantitatively significant because the research university can extend life-support (implying a need for such support to stave off certain kinds of death of art-making and the arts, or to resuscitate when death is either in progress or has just occurred, research, it is implied, being healthier and in a better position to save; indeed a [presumed superior] intellectual rigor of [scientific] research suggests and supports competency of the research university to save art-making and the arts, something policy-reconfigurations could render moot [rhymes with research loot]).
What was stated was open to these interpretations; configurations of the speakers' words and ideas did not include limiting factors that could reduce emergence of interpretations such as what this response offers —variables that this response delivers could have been reduced though a revision of phrasing and a revision of thinking that is a parent of that phrasing, thinking also a parent of policy; a failure to anticipate such variables when preparing speeches and the keynote address was just not good science, a form of science, but not a good form —unacceptable is a lack of awareness of where those ideas and configuration of them into utterance was weak, allowing some sentiments expressed to be historical, obsolete or even, worse, irrelevant as they applied to forms of art-making and the arts that are not the exclusive forms practiced —just how much research of art-making and the arts was done by those speaking, those forming the policy behind the role of art-making and the arts in the research university that is in service to the imagination? Why so little imagination in how art-making and the arts and their role was configured? Silo syndrome.
So much stored grain to sustain existing diets with palatable comfort food.

Hello everyone.
I'm Karen, and I'm the creative mind behind Kernow Designs.
I am 47 years old. I took a long career break to raise my young family.⠀Two are now grown & living away from home & one is in college.⠀Another two are in high school.
It doesn't seem possible. (It passed while I blinked.)
When I returned to work, I was miserable. Long hours, 7 days a week, late shift changes with barely any notice. No appreciation of my hard work and missing so much family time. So I took the plunge and quit my job. I decided that I only have one life so I was going to live it in a way that made me smile instead of cry.
It was a big risk but it was also one I simply had to take.⠀I started my own business.⠀I turned my passions into something which I can share with you all. :)
Will it fail? Will it succeed? Honestly I don't know. But the important thing for me is that I'm giving it a go.⠀(I am determined that I will not reach 50 years old and sit here thinking "what if?"
I survived cancer only to realise later that I was actually just surviving my day to day life.)
I know that I'm lucky. I have this amazing chance and I'm grasping it for all that I am worth.
I'm a part of a wonderful, amazing fibre community and for that I am truly thankful.
Wishing you all happiness, may your dreams always make you smile. xx
Yarny Hugs,

- Campus Safety (610) 896-1111
- Delaware County
Women Against Rape (610) 566-4342
Sexual misconduct will not be tolerated at Haverford College. Sexual misconduct is a broad term that includes but is not limited to sexual harassment, sexual assault (non-consensual sexual contact, non-consensual sexual intercourse, and forced sexual intercourse), sexual exploitation, stalking, domestic violence, dating violence, and retaliation. Such behaviors are anathema to Haverford's foundational principles that underscore human dignity, promote equality, and repudiate violence in any form.
The goals of this policy are to create a community free from sexual misconduct of all kinds, to provide avenues for those affected by sexual misconduct to obtain assistance and provide a prompt and equitable complaint and investigation procedure.
The College is committed to helping students affected by sexual misconduct deal with its impact, and has many resources available to do so. It is also committed to providing educational, preventative and training programs regarding sexual misconduct. Students subjected to sexual misconduct are encouraged to explore all options available to them—including internal College judicial processes, or external civil litigation or criminal charges. These options are not mutually exclusive.
Students who believe they have experienced sexual misconduct may choose to contact directly medical, psychological or judicial personnel on or off campus indicated on the How to Get Help page, but if the individual is in physical danger, or has physical injuries which require immediate attention, she/he should call Campus Safety or 911, and a Campus Safety/police officer will respond right away.
Haverford will investigate all complaints of sexual misconduct in a full, reliable and impartial manner. The College will take all steps necessary to stop the misconduct, prevent its recurrence, and offer appropriate remedies to address its effects on those involved.
Haverford respects the privacy of students who seek help and/or report incidents of sexual misconduct, but cannot guarantee confidentiality in all cases. Follow this link to learn more. (Only certain professionals with statutory confidentiality [e.g., licensed mental health professionals and ordained clergy] can guarantee confidentiality.) Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) obligate the College to stop sexual misconduct, remedy its effects and take steps to prevent its recurrence. As a result, while protecting confidentiality to the greatest extent possible, the College may need to investigate an incident and take action once an allegation is known, whether or not the student wishes to pursue a complaint.
Learn more about confidentiality of reporting as it relates to sexual misconduct and how to request confidentiality if you make a report to someone who is obligated to inform the Dean of the College, Title IX Coordinator or a Deputy Title IX Coordinator about an incident.
Retaliation against an individual for making or moving forward with an allegation of sexual misconduct, who has been accused of sexual misconduct, for cooperating in an investigation of such a complaint, or advocating for a campus free of gender and sex discrimination is prohibited and a violation of this policy. Retaliation and intimidation can take many forms, including but not limited to continued abuse or violence, threats and intimidation. Any individual or group of individuals, not just a complainant or respondent, can engage in retaliation. Anyone who believes that they have been retaliated against for making a complaint/report or for cooperating in an investigation or hearing should immediately contact the Title IX Coordinator or a Deputy Title IX Coordinator.
Upon receipt of a report of sexual misconduct, Haverford will provide reasonable and appropriate interim measures to designed to preserve the affected student's educational experience, the safety of all parties involved and the College community as a whole, maintain the integrity of the investigative and/or resolution process and deter retaliation. The College may provide interim measures regardless of whether the student seeks to engage in the College's internal judicial processes.
Such remedies may include, but are not limited to, "no contact" orders, and changes in housing assignment and/or academic schedule. Other options may be considered as appropriate and feasible. Any remedies approved will be reviewed and modified as conditions warrant.
Violations of this policy may result in the imposition of a full range of sanctions up to and including separation. Review Possible Sanctions.
This policy applies to student sexual misconduct when it occurs:
While this policy applies to student conduct, the College does not tolerate sexual misconduct by any member of the Haverford College community or third parties, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
Haverford, Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore Colleges and Bryn Mawr Colleges are part of the Tri-College Consortium. Haverford students may also cross-register with the University of Pennsylvania. Haverford students, when studying or visiting on the campus of Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore or the University of Pennsylvania or when attending a College-related event for one of these four institutions, are subject to this policy as well as the policies of the visited institution. Visiting students from Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore and University of Pennsylvania are also subject to this policy.
Student complaints of sexual misconduct against Haverford faculty, administrators, staff and third parties fall with the purview of the College's employee procedures, so reports of possible violations should be made to the Director of Human Resources or one of the EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) Officers. The College will take all such complaints seriously and will conduct a timely and thorough investigation and take appropriate action to resolve the matter, prevent recurrence of the behavior in question and correct its effects, as necessary and appropriate. Given the nature of the allegation, the Title IX Coordinator will also be consulted throughout the process. See a fuller description in the Students' Guide.
Faculty, administrator, staff or third party complaints of sexual misconduct against students will normally be addressed by a Dean's Panel. In cases where harassment by students of non-students is alleged, an EEO Officer will be consulted as part of the process.

The Rockies' pursuit of experience in free agency is not limited to catcher Carlos Ruiz. Colorado has reached out to free agent starter Tim Hudson.
When Jorge De La Rosa, Jhoulys Chacin and Tyler Chatwood took the ball, the Rockies were contenders. When a fourth or fifth starter was on the mound, the Rockies went 7-31 this year.
Hudson, 38, fits the profile of what the Rockies are seeking: a proven veteran who logs innings and keeps the ball on the ground. Hudson is open to pitching at Coors Field. The problem is that he will have options. Atlanta wants him back, but will have trouble fitting him in its payroll without moving second baseman Dan Uggla or outfielder Justin Upton. As many as 15 teams have expressed interest in Hudson, with the world champion Red Sox being the most aggressive suitor. The Rockies, with history as a guide, would have to overpay in dollars or years to get his interest. Hudson figures to be in line for a two-year, $24 million contract.
"We are trying to get the best starter we can get our hands on," assistant general manager Bill Geivett said. "It doesn't matter if it's free agency or in a trade. We are looking at all viable options."
Hudson went 8-7 with a 3.97 ERA in 21 starts last season. He broke his right ankle when he collided with the Mets' Eric Young at first base.
The Phillies said this week that while they want to re-sign Ruiz, they are prepared to move on. The Rockies will make an offer, though it's not clear if they are willing to go beyond two years.
Footnotes. Manager Walt Weiss has begun discussing his potential candidates to fill the two vacancies on his coaching staff, at first base and hitting instructor. After considering going with two hitting coaches, a trend in the industry, the Rockies are leaning on using just one. Double-A manager Kevin Riggs is considered a strong candidate.

Ever since the IGG campaign was over, working on the ReactOS Community Edition has been one of our main priorities. Today we make another promising step towards achieving that goal.
Although the IGG campaign was not a success, we were really proud of raising half of the needed funds. Nonetheless, and thanks to your valuable contributions, it was the most successful crowdfunding campaigns ReactOS has ever had.
The IGG crowdfunding impact, your impact, on ReactOS is quite noticeable: A whole reworked shell thanks to hiring Giannis Adamopoulos then David Quintana (who among us misses the old shell!), significant stability and compatibility improvements thanks the work done by hiring Jérôme Gardou to get JAVA RE working properly, the 0.4 version, faster release cycle after years in the 0.3 era... and so on!
Today we are happy to announce yet another step. Hermès Bélusca-Maïto is being hired to make another most voted application, in the IGG campaign, work properly in ReactOS: Word 2010. You decided. We're working on making it happen!
Hermès will be digging through the Word 2010 setup to understand why it doesn't work in ReactOS, which will hopefully open the door for other software setups to start working. He will also analyze the APIs that get called by Word 2010 itself, fixing the existing features and implementing the missing ones, in order to ensure a high degree of usability. We do expect that his Word 2010 work will have a significant impact on other office suites too.
We know you are big fans of daily updates, so Hermès will be updating in real time what is he working on in the following doc. As you can see he has already started!
He will also write weekly reports to share with you his findings (expect surprises!) and screenshots. Your feedback is always welcome, whether it is in the form of comments, new bug reports related to Word 2010 while he progresses, or anything you see fit ;)
Last but not least, we like to remind our followers that ReactOS is still HIRING. So if you think you have what it takes, please consider sending high quality patches to our JIRA to demonstrate your skills, and then apply for either a scholarship (if you are a student) or a contract. Everyone else can still repost, share, retweet... this post so it gets to the people who can help ReactOS, once more (thanks!) to move faster towards Beta.

Have an idea of sites you want to visit and things you want to do during your trip. Do some research on travel blogs and communities. You should ask friends and family who have traveled before about places they enjoyed the most. Read through site-specific guide books like Lonely Planet, Let's Go, Rough Guide, Rick Steves, or Frommers.
However, we advise that you take advantage of this unique opportunity to live as a real Parisian, and keep your trips to other countries to a minimum. Use your free time and weekends to discover Paris and other parts of France! Students who travel too frequently outside of Paris often regret not having spent more time in Paris at the end of the semester.
DO NOT book anything until after the first week of semester-long classes. You may find there are mandatory excursions for your courses, make-up classes, or NYU-sponsored trips already in place.
Things to remember about discount airlines:
Lists all your train options and information about the trains for all the different European countries.
If you are planning on traveling (especially after your semester) you may find that Eurail is the best option. It is a train pass that gives you train travel within 18 European Countries. Not only is it a cheap, convenient way to travel around Europe, but also many Euro trains are super comfy! Buy your tickets in the US as they are more expensive in Europe.
For travel within France and throughout Europe, you may be interested in purchasing a ticket through Eurolines.
Busabout is designed for back-packers which makes it a great way to meet people, and a cheap way to get around—it may be more appropriate if you plan to do more traveling during the summer.
I went to Amsterdam, London, Belgium, and Madrid. I traveled to all the cities by train except for Madrid, which I flew to. I made all of my travel plans online. I loved Belgium. I went during Easter, so we went to the well- known chocolate stores and saw their amazing displays. I had the best time going to places off the beaten track or finding good restaurants.

I was watching Diners, Drive Ins and Dives last night and recognized two songs used in two episodes as Jet's "Be My Girl" and an Arcade Fire song (I could find the title if I tried). The weird thing is it wasn't the original version of the songs. It was kind of like muzak. No lyrics. Definitely a different version. They used only 10-15 seconds of the songs in a transitional montage thing and that was it.
It was so weird! Why use these recognizable songs in such a way. Why pay for the rights to use these songs in such a lame way? I can't figure it out and I don't watch enough to know if they use "real" music in this way all the time.
Does anyone know if there's a way to confirm these songs were featured on these episodes (Sammies and Spice, Flavor Adventure, By Hand and By Fork, or From Biscuits to Brisket - I can't remember which ones)? And can anyone come up with a good reason why?

Martin Napasteck '74 Authors Mrs. Mark Twain: The Life of Olivia Langdon Clemens, 1845-1904
December 3, 2013
Martin J. Naparsteck, who earned a master's degree in English in 1974 from DePauw University, is the author of Mrs. Mark Twain: The Life of Olivia Langdon Clemens, 1845-1904. A collaboration with Michelle Cardula, the book has just been published by McFarland.
A synopsis notes, "Olivia Langdon was born into what became the richest family in Elmira, New York, in 1845, and was one of the first females in the country to attend a college. But her life became extraordinary when she married Mark Twain in 1870. As the wife of the man who was destined to become the best known, and perhaps best loved, American in the world, she would befriend the literary elite of America and Europe, travel around the globe, and dine with royalty. But her life was filled with tragedy. Her son was born prematurely, was never healthy, and died when he was a year and a half old. Her oldest daughter would die of spinal meningitis at age 24. Her youngest daughter was an epileptic. Her father, with whom she had a very close relationship, died just six months after her marriage. A close friend died while visiting her home. Olivia herself was always frail, and she spent years at a time bedridden. Her husband's bad investments drove the family into bankruptcy. Through all of this, she and Mark Twain maintained a close, loving, caring relationship."

If a new theory about black holes turns out to be true, then we're going to have to stop making fun of the final sequence in classic cheeseball flick The Black Hole (helpfully excerpted above). You might just light on fire. Jennifer Ouellette has just published an amazing piece on this "wall of fire" theory on the Simons Foundation website.
Ouellette begins her essay with this terrific introduction:
Alice and Bob, beloved characters of various thought experiments in quantum mechanics, are at a crossroads. The adventurous, rather reckless Alice jumps into a very large black hole, leaving a presumably forlorn Bob outside the event horizon - a black hole's point of no return, beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape.
Conventionally, physicists have assumed that if the black hole is large enough, Alice won't notice anything unusual as she crosses the horizon. In this scenario, colorfully dubbed "No Drama," the gravitational forces won't become extreme until she approaches a point inside the black hole called the singularity. There, the gravitational pull will be so much stronger on her feet than on her head that Alice will be "spaghettified."
Now a new hypothesis is giving poor Alice even more drama than she bargained for. If this alternative is correct, as the unsuspecting Alice crosses the event horizon, she will encounter a massive wall of fire that will incinerate her on the spot. As unfair as this seems for Alice, the scenario would also mean that at least one of three cherished notions in theoretical physics must be wrong.

HOUSTON, TX – Vancouver Whitecaps FC U-18 Residency cruised to a 4-2 win over De Anza Force on Wednesday in their second match at the United States Soccer Development Academy (USSDA) Finals in Houston, Texas.
Ben Fisk netted a second consecutive hat-trick for the 'Caps, giving him an incredible six goals in the first two matches of the Academy Finals.
"Ben Fisk has been fantastic so far in this tournament and has shown a real nose for the net," Whitecaps FC U-18 Residency head coach Craig Dalrymple told whitecapsfc.com.
With the win, Whitecaps FC are now in pole position to qualify for the championship match on Sunday at BBVA Compass Stadium – home of Major League Soccer's Houston Dynamo. In order to do so, Vancouver need only to hold off North Carolina Fusion on goal differential. The 'Caps currently sit at +5 while the Fusion sit at -1 after defeating Colorado Rapids 4-2 on Wednesday.
Whitecaps FC opened the scoring in the 14th minute when they countered quickly to spring Fisk on a breakaway, as the Vancouver native finished to make it 1-0.
Shortly after the 30-minute mark, Bryce Alderson made it 2-0 after breaking in from 30 yards out. Eight minutes later it was 3-0, with Alderson setting up Fisk for his second.
Though they had a commanding lead, the 'Caps would not relent, as Ben McKendry set up Fisk for his third goal on 58 minutes to make it 4-0.
De Anza weren't about to give up and fought back to make it 4-2, but the 'Caps held firm and retained their lead to earn an important victory.
"We got off to a fantastic start and really controlled the play throughout the game," said Dalrymple. " This tournament has been great to showcase our talent and the program as a whole."
Next up is their final group match against Colorad Rapids academy on Friday at 6 p.m. PT. Should the 'Caps win or draw, they will guarantee themselves a spot in Sunday's USSDA championship final.
