"Oh give me a home,
where the buffalo roam,
and the deer and the antelope play...."
- Home on the Range
At one time in the history of the United States, this "home" was called the Midwestern U.S. Before the expansion of the U.S., American buffalo, properly known as bison, roamed wild in herds in the Midwest. However, when the Western expansion movement began, people began killing them for various reasons. First it was for meat to eat on the journey westward, a justifiable reason. But with the advent of the locomotive, this food was not as necessary, since the trip could be made in shorter amounts of time. Instead, men used them as target practice and shot the bison from WITHIN THE MOVING TRAIN! This meant that once the bison was shot, it would be left there to rot, and was completely wasted. Because of this, the bison now survive only in small numbers in the U.S.
This was not just isolated to land. In the oceans of the North-Eastern U.S., whale used to populate the waters in abundance. They were killed for oil to cook, to heat homes, etc., a good reason since they were used in the colder areas of the U.S. However, because of population growth, more and more oil was needed. Because of this more and more whales were killed. Soon the whale was driven to the brink of extinction. Today their numbers are recovering, but they are still nowhere near the number they used to be before the hunting began.

South Woodstock
Friday, March 1, a gray morning here no sun or blue skies, 36.5 degrees, but at least it's not snowing.
Condolences are going out of the families of Louise Guilford, Lorraine Litchfield, Ruth E. Smith, Edward A. Sawyer, Charles Holden, Dale Robinson and Barbara E. Witham. Thoughts and prayers to each family member.
Dell Parker and Ruthanne joined us for lunch yesterday (Thursday), then we practiced for an hour. It was a good practice and I am pleased. Thanks Dell!!
The band entertained the seniors at Canton Villa Monday afternoon.
We drove to Waterford to visit with my niece, Myra Emery, this week. It's always great spending time with her and Randy, and sitting around the table enjoying a hot cup of tea and catching up on all the daily events and other family happenings.
Stopped to visit briefly with our friend Betty Davis this week and to leave her some oranges.
Bluejays galore this morning at the feeders, a pair of Cardinals plus a red squirrel and 2 crows that keep landing on the lawn and scaring the chickadees and finches. I dried some bread and spread it with peanut butter and sprinkled some seeds on top and placed in the feeders, the little birds really like that.
Cliff Gray – we are thinking of you.
Off to town to get a few errands done and pick up a few groceries. Y' all have a great day.
That's all from the valley this week. Enjoy your weekend.

This past Saturday, I attended SummerCon in Brooklyn. Despite being "America's longest running hacker con," with less than 200 attendees it's a tiny event, even for infosec standards. It's this relaxed|elite|familial atmosphere on which the con prides itself, and it's pretty much a blast. Unfortunately but not surprisingly, none of the dozen-ish presenters were women. I can't fault the organizers for this as to my knowledge, no women responded to the CFP. Much has been written about encouraging women to get on stage and present technical content; I won't rehash that debate here except to say that more than one woman I chatted with yesterday told me in effect, "Are you kidding? I wouldn't present here. [The environment here makes it] not worth it."
There was one woman on stage during a presentation, but she was there of her own accord to provide double entendres and eye candy for her boyfriend's presentation. The only other female to grace the stage was a burlesque performer who carried out the speaker name placards and ran the free-drink raffle between talks. She and some of the other performers are friends with the conference organizers, but in this instance they were there working as paid entertainment.
It should be noted that I also perform burlesque in New York - proudly - though not at technical conferences. While I hadn't met these specific ladies before, I know several of them by [positive] reputation and we have friends in common. I don't consider burlesque to be inherently sexist, in fact often it is quite the opposite. My issue here is context, not content.
So by 10pm it was time for the show, which was advertised as an official conference event. Because of the lack of female presenters, the show would provide the only representation women would have onstage during the conference. Admission to the con got you admission to the show, which was held on the same stage as the talks, under the same sponsor signs. All the performers were conventionally attractive women. According to the advertisement, they are also New York's "nerdiest" burlesque performers. As I did not stay for the show, I cannot speak to the technical content of their material. Kidding aside, I'd like to make the point that regardless of their intelligence or other pursuits, they were there to perform traditional stripteases, etc., not opine on cryptographic weaknesses.
Throughout the day I asked friends how they felt about the inclusion of a burlesque show at a tech con. I heard the same unanimous sentiment: More women present as attendees and speakers would be awesome. More women should be in the industry, period. More women should get STEM degrees, and lots of us have daughters and we are teaching them how to code! … But they're not here now, so we might as well have a little fun. It's always been like this. It's like… a tradition. Larger conferences are "work" events, so it's ok that their guidelines for behavior are more strict. This is a "fun" event, so a few naked ladies on stage are ok. I mean look around, there aren't more than 8 women here anyway. How can women be affected by an event which they're not even attending? Sure, there are corporate sponsors paying for everything and the speakers are all the same as at Black Hat, but it's just different.
By the time the show was about to start, I decided to leave. I stopped having fun and started thinking about how I have three more cons in the next two months where I can probably relive this same experience. As I walked out, I ran into the con organizer. I told him I had to "boycott this burlesque thing," and he threw up his hands and said, "Hey, you have a point." With all the beer flowing by then, I don't really think the exchange meant anything one way or the other.
This was not the most scandalous thing to ever happen at a conference, by a long shot. It's not even the only example of an "official" burlesque show at a recent infosec conference (good job, LayerOne). It was not the most sexually charged event I've encountered in my five years of semi-regular con attendance, and my experiences are tame in comparison to those with more longevity than me. I simply did not want to be associated with something I found to be exclusionary, so I dipped.
Over the past decade it's become generally understood that behavior and entertainment like what happened at SummerCon and LayerOne are likely to cause you negative public backlash. Objectifying women isn't generally tolerated at corporate sponsored events. Hell, the grugq's Barcon party last year at Black Hat didn't even have sexy cocktail waitresses.
This was also not the most personally offensive experience I've had at a conference. In fact, I was not "offended" at all. Naked ladies don't offend me. (Reminder: I perform a similar thing in a different setting.) However, putting sexy ladies on a pedestal to be stared at by a group of exclusively men creates an asymmetrical gender dynamic which is not appropriate for a quasi-industry, corporate sponsored event. The near universal refusal to recognize that ranks as the most frustrating sentiment I've personally heard come from the professional folks and community leaders I consider my friends. It's been said that lawfulness is what you do when you think you may get caught, ethics are the choices you make when you know you won't. I respect and adore many of you, and on this one you disappointed me. Saying "It could be worse" is not sufficient. We can do better.
The infosec community is pyramidal, with a broad base of consumers that supports a smaller group of leaders. Even within the more "elite" echelons of conference speakers, there is a core group that drives technical advancement, audiences, sponsor dollars, and attitudes. If more of these people committed to championing better standards – and there are some that vocally do – paradigms could change quickly.
The goal, to me, is simple: Make everyone feel welcome. Usually, people feel welcome when attention is not being drawn to their genitals. Bonus points for not exposing your presupposition about a person's job, skill set, or reason for attendance within the first minute of meeting them.
To the organizers, look at the entertainment you are presenting. Imagine whether your audience would get the same enjoyment out of it if genders were reversed. In the case of SummerCon/LayerOne, do you think that an all-male burlesque review would have been an equally great choice of entertainment? Or if 50% of the attendees were female, would they have had as much fun? If not, your choice makes infosec an all-male frathouse and is alienating to a portion of your audience.
From transparency initiatives, to personal commitments from speakers and organizers, to sponsor partnerships… a small amount of effort would make a huge amount of difference. I have some interesting ideas and am going to take some time to develop them and talk to the right people to make them awesome. In the meantime, here are some alternative ideas for entertaiment that will keep people from ragequitting or boycotting conferences because of a sexist atmosphere:
This is five minutes worth of brainstorming. Better ideas? Leave them in the comments. :)

Clip-on Chromatic Tuner
The BOSS "TU" line is synonymous with reliable, roadworthy and accurate tuning. Today, the world's most famous tuner prefix gets "clipped-on" with the debut of the TU-10. Reinventing the traditional image of clip-on tuners, the TU-10 offers a stylish design and robust body with high-performance features derived from other BOSS tuners, such as Accu-Pitch, flat tuning up to five semitones, and Stream mode. A unique feature — the "true color" LCD — provides a full, multi-color visual experience not seen before in other clip-on tuners. In addition, the reflection-display function dramatically improves visibility.
All specifications and appearances are subject to change.

Kirsty Young's castaway for the 70th anniversary edition of Desert Island Discs is Sir David Attenborough.
He has seen more of the world than anyone else who has ever lived - he's visited the north and south poles and witnessed most of the life in-between - from the birds in the canopies of tropical rainforests to giant earthworms in Australia.
But despite his extraordinary travels, there is one part of the globe that's eluded him. As a young man and a keen rock-climber, he yearned to conquer the highest peak in the world. "I won't make it now - I won't make it to base camp now - but as a teenager, I thought that the only thing a red-blooded Englishman really should do was to climb Everest."

Why Children Don't Read Children's Literature: A Comparison of ALA Notable Children's Books and IRA Children's Choices "Best" Lists 1974 to 2002
John Beach, Department of Human Services and Counseling, The School of Education
Abstract When children discover books they like, they spend time reading them. The more time children spend reading, the better they perform as readers. Knowing which books children like is therefore a central concern for literacy teachers. However, production and access to children's books is governed by adults: authors, publishers, editors, librarians, teachers, and parents. Many adults operate from an elitist perspective regarding children's reading, actively ignoring comic books, series books, and books that do not win awards chosen by adults. This study attempts to answer the question of whether children really do appreciate the books adults think are appropriate for them. A computer database was created to compare two annual lists of "best" children's books: the International Reading Association's Children's Choices (chosen by children themselves) and the American Library Association's Notable Children's Books (chosen by librarians). Contrary to the conservative hypothesis that there would be a 50% overlap of titles on the two lists, only 12% was observed over a twenty-seven year period from 1974 to 2002, indicating a statistically significant difference (p < .01) for each year and overall. Adults and children appear to be quite far apart in their criteria for what constitutes a good children's book. Those who seek to assist children's development of literacy need to rethink their use of award winning books such as the Newbery and Caldecott titles that are always included in the ALA list.

Good news for the Cubs! Mayo ranked Baez as the #16 prospect in baseball! Almora comes in at 39 and Soler 42. Unfortunately, Vizcaino and Jackson dropped out of the Top 100.

I still don't see how people see greatness in Candelario. He's a guy that will probably have to move to first, that can't run well, hasn't shown HR power consistently, and is not exceptional at getting on base.
Here is why people like Jeimer. He was 18 years old and first time playing in the states. While most of those guys play in Mesa, he was in Boise. He may have to move to 1st base eventually, but he might not too. I think people think that because of how thick he is in the trunk, but if he stays fit he can stay at 3rd. Now as far as having a good eye, I think he was a little overblown when playing in the DL, but he still walked at a healthy rate this past year. As for the power, that will come.
As for Golden, he and Jeimer are great comparisons. Both are good young guys who have thicker lower halves. Both will have to work really hard to stay fit. Both have power potential, but didn't show much of it in Boise. The only advantage Golden had on Jeimer was triples. Otherwise Jeimer had a higher avg and OBP.
I am trying to remember exactly but I think like Jeimer, Golden slowed down at the end of the year. Something to keep in mind with young guys who aren't used to the grind of playing so many games and the travel.
So if Golden was a guy who was considered a top 10ish prospect then Jeimer is right there with him.
What should be fun is that they should be on the same team together next year in Kane County which should be a loaded team.

8: Dillon Maples (eta: 2014)
Great job putting the list together. It takes a lot of work to do something like that. I don't agree with all of the choices, but people wouldn't agree with all mine either. The one thing that stood out to me was Maples ETA. I think your ETA is too aggressive. He hasn't pitched above Mesa yet. So I think this next year if he made it to Kane County that would be good. So in 2014 he probably will be pitching Daytona or Tenn. as a 22 year old if the Cubs were super aggressive.

Does anyone know anything about the Cuban pitcher in the Cubs system, Carlos Martinez? I've seen his name also appear as Carlos Martinez-Pumarino. He's about 21 or so and in the games I saw him pitch in the Arizona League in 2012 - was absolutely dominating. He's a great big kid who they listed as 6'4", and looked every bit of that. I never see his name on any of these lists and I never hear his name discussed. Does he have another name or something? Was he considered old and too experienced for the AZL? He sure seemed to be lighting up the guns at Hohokam last year.
He was too old for the league for sure, but his numbers jump out for sure. I was keeping an eye on him last season as he was a pretty unheralded signing. The problem with some of the Cuban players is that we just don't know anything about them because of the hushness of their government. I think his placement this year will say a lot about him as a prospect.

Last week, I chatted with Bill Buckner (who was signing autographs at Fergie's table at Hohokam). Asked him who he liked from Boise last year and he said something funny like "it would be easier to say who I didn't like". He went on to say some really nice things about Amaya, who he said he thought had a real good chance of being a big league starter in a few years, and also about Candelario, but added they were both all a long way off. He really digs Almora.
In talking about his job (which he loves) Billy Buck said he is mostly all about reminding hitters about the basics and keeping them from getting into bad habits. He also said something interesting about strikeouts and how he wished he wasn't so focused on NOT striking out during his career. He would go about hitting a little differently now, a little more patiently.
A couple of really nice guys!
