WASHINGTON, Pa. (Nov. 8, 2011)—The Washington & Jefferson College (W&J) community has donated more than $10,000 to a group of a dozen people left with little in the aftermath of the deadly earthquake and tsunami that ravaged Japan earlier this year.
Professor of Sociology Edward Greb, Ph.D., who has led W&J student trips to Japan for more than 20 years, organized the effort that raised donations from staff, faculty, students and campus organizations. Greb worked directly with the Samukawa International Exchange Association (SIEA) to ensure the money went directly to the needy—in this case, a group of refugees of the nuclear plant emergency that resulted from the earthquake.
Each of the 12 people received $64,942 yen, or $854, Greb said, with the understanding that, if able in the future, they will pay the money back to SIEA, to provide additional relief in the event of future natural disasters.
"W&J not only has stepped up to address an important immediate need, but has created a lifeline for the future," Greb said. "Hopefully, something like this will never happen again. We are dealing with people who have nothing left. Should they ever get back on their feet, they will pay the money back and it will be there to redistribute as needed, creating a perpetual fund."
W&J is a partner with SIEA in planning W&J's trips to Japan and Greb knew the money would most quickly get in the hands of people from the area in need by working through SIEA. The funds were presented by Mari Ueno Phillippi, a tour guide who has organized and attended many of W&J's trips to Samukawa.
"It was important that we helped on a one-to-one level and gave it to flesh and blood," Greb said, adding that the bank waived any fees to transfer from dollars to yen, making sure all money raised went to the people in need in a timely manner.
One of the recipients of the money is a member of a family of three.
"I have not forgotten for even a day how March 11 was. Even these days when I see water creeping up, I remember the time when we ran away from the tsunami chasing us," H. Watanabe said. "In the past half a year, so many people helped us and we received a lot of kindness. So I can live every day with my heart being warm. Please let those kind people know our appreciation. I will do my best to rebuild my life."
Greb has made the study of Japanese culture a centerpiece of his scholarship at W&J, and the Edward and Barbara Greb Travel Award he and his wife established assists students who study abroad during Intersession.

In a significant step, seven newly-created Central universities in April 2010 came together to hold a combined entrance exam from this year for admission of students in about 25 courses being offered by them. These institutions are Central Universities of Jammu & Kashmir, Jharkhand, Bihar, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. The combined entrance exam is the first of its kind exercise being conducted by the Central universities in the country. At present, the IITs and IIMs are holding similar combined entrances for admission. These universities are among 16 new central universities created last year under a Central act. Some of the universities started offering courses already in 2009. More information.

The idea of a multi-campus South Asia University (SAU) with its epicentre in India (Delhi) was mooted by the Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh during the 13th South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) summit held at Dhaka in November 2005. The idea was accepted in principle and Prof. Gauhar Rizvi, from Bangladesh, (Professor at Harvard) was assigned the job of developing the draft of the university. The draft was approved and the Government of India have allotted 100 acres land (beside the Indira Gandhi National Open University, in Maidan Garhi, New Delhi) for establishing the campus of SAU. The foundation was laid by Indian External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee on 26 May 2008. The South Asian University will be set up on the lines of American Ivy League universities, and also induct students and recruit faculty from across the globe. The governance structure of SAU, with link campuses in Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and Afghanistan, will be laid down by February 2009. Prof. Rizvi, who was entrusted with the task of preparing the university's concept note, has advised a middle path between government-funded and private education. The role of the SAARC nation governments will be confined to providing annual subsidies and grants, the concept note has recommended. More information.
In December 2008, the Union government of India approved the establishment of the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) through an Act of Parliament. SERB is being set up for promoting basic research in Science and Engineering in India and to provide financial assistance to scientists, academic institutions, R&D laboratories, industrial concerns and other agencies for such research. It was established nearly four years after the Prime Minister's Science Advisory Council (SAC-PM), India's apex science advisory body, recommended the creation of an autonomous research-funding agency free from bureaucratic controls, on the lines of the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the United States. The SERB, located in Delhi, is chaired by the Secretary to the Government of India in the Department of Science and Technology and have other senior government functionaries and eminent scientists from different fields of science and technology as members. The journalist R. Ramachandran has written a lenghty article on the creation of SERB, "Funds aplenty", published in Frontline 13 March 2009. Read the article.
For the academic session 2007–08, more than 500 Indian students and scholars from all over India secured admission to a large number of European universities spread all over the 27 EU Member States thanks to the Erasmus Mundus (EM) scholarship funded by the European Union. The European Commission and the Government of India in February 2005 signed an agreement through which 900 scholarships will be offered for Indian graduate students to study at Europe's finest universities. The EC has provided Euros 33 Million to finance the scholarship programme, that is part of the Erasmus Mundus programme, providing scholarships for graduate students from third countries to study in Europe. Graduate students can apply for a scholarship directly to the European Erasmus Mundus Degree which interests them, a number of which includes Swedish universities, see above. For the academic year of 2005/2006, 133 scholarships for Indian students under the India Window were approved. In 2006–07 this number rose to 288 and in 2007–08 to 403. In addition to this, 81 Indian students and 27 scholars received scholarships under the general EM programme in 2007–08. More information.

One of my favorite places to visit is an aquarium, and as luck would have it Monterey has one, the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We saw some amazing creatures and sites with the following gallery just being a sample.

After I drink coffee I like to show the empty mug to the IT guy to tell him that I've successfully installed Java. He hates me.
It would seem I have been given props for contributing to WordPress 3.7 … and it wasn't anything new and exciting. It was actually a two year old trac ticket.
Here's a screen snippet of the Core Contributors to WordPress 3.7:
The trac ticket, was included with Changeset 25030 and included the trac ticket #18632 which referenced a simple defect with the wp_get_shortlink function. All-in-all, I'm just happy to be able to contribute to the project, getting my name in lights … er, digital print … is just icing on the cake.
After our harrowing experience driving on mountain roads to get where we were going. We were almost to the point where we had enough and just wanted to find our way out of the wilderness … and a freeway to Monterey. We pretty much stumbled upon the park, so much so that we didn't think we were even at the right place and dreaded the very thought of having to return the way we had just driven. Fortunately we had finally found Big Basin Redwood State Park … and with the help of the park rangers also found we could just keep driving and find our way back to Highway 1 and a more or less safe road to Monterey, too.
Before we left, we paid a second time for day-use of a state park and proceeded to take our time following a simple trail through the trees. Here are some of the picture from the day:
I expect this will be one of many posts describing our vacation in Monterey and San Francisco.
A little back story before the first gallery of pictures …
… Terri was away for business in Fort Worth, Texas. She knew this a few weeks in advance and suggested we take this opportunity to have a "real" vacation since it had been 15 years since our last one. So, our plans were set in motion. I would meet her in Fort Worth on Thursday Night and then we would fly to San Francisco Friday morning; pick up a rental car and head south to Monterey. This is when the fun begins.
Terri drove out of the airport and we found our way heading south to Monterey. We knew our check-in time was after 3:00 PM, and it was just past 10:00 AM so we thought some site-seeing along the way just made sense … and with the sign pointing to Half Moon Bay we were off to Highway 1 and an adventure. We found Half Moon Bay State Park and stopped there to see the Pacific Ocean first-hand. A first for Terri and 40 years since I last was near enough to see it in person for myself. We found some interesting sites and even some interesting sounds with a weather-beaten stand-up piano on the side of the road over-looking the beach and the ocean (rumor has it belongs to Neil Young whom supposedly lives nearby where we found the piano).
At this same time, the US government in their infinite wisdom (really, you seriously decided to put all of those people out of work because of some sort of pissing content?!) closed and therefore all of the National parks were closed, too (with serious fines for those found "trespassing"). This made us go looking for other parks where we could see the majesty of the Redwoods which led us to Big Basin Redwood State Park.
Now, let me tell you a story about why you should not turn on the "Avoid Freeways" option with a GPS. We call our GPS, Maggie (short for either Magpie or the actual brand Magellan) … and Maggie did a phenomenal job of leading us on a beautiful scenic route to the park. She said, turn left onto El Honda Road, we turned left. She said "Warning", to tell us we were going over the speed limit. She reminded us to stay on the road … well, the mountains were making it a bit difficult to keep the satellite lock but Maggie was diligent in making sure she told us to stay on the right road. We stopped at a local deli/market for lunch then got back on the road. Maggie told us to carry on to Old El Honda Road and follow it … and the adventure got real.
Old El Honda Road winds and turns and follows the mountain up … and up … and down … and up … and up some more. All that would be fine, except it also essentially turns into one of those one-lane, nothing on one side and a mountain on the other which can be quite terrifying for someone afraid of heights, like Terri. She did amazing given the challenges of the drive but soon enough we switched places as the emptiness over her left shoulder was just too much. I drove the rest of the way to the top of the mountain, only about five more minutes of hell but we ended on a more proper road that we followed to some similar but not so severe roads that eventually took us to the park … just when we thought we had enough we turned a corner and there was the park ranger station.
These pictures were mostly from the passenger seat of the car as I tried to capture the essence of the drive …
The more voices speaking together the louder the message will be heard.
Terri and I have been vacationing on the West Coast for the last week (we still have a couple more days ahead of us) but I thought it would be a good time to get the ball rolling on what to expect for the next several posts.
After meeting Terri in Fort Worth, Texas we flew to San Francisco, California the following morning; rented a car (a lower-end version of our own Chevrolet Impala); and, headed south. We had an adventure in Big Basin as we followed El Honda Road to Old El Honda Road. As a side-note, the Old El Honda Road into Big Basin is not for the feint of heart as it basically narrows down to a single lane mountain side road with no guard rails or any sort of safety measures aside from your driving skills and nerves of steel. Once settled into the seaside city of Monterey we took day trips and visited the famous Monterey Aquarium and Cannery Row as well as the 17 Mile Drive and some of the State Parks found nearby.
After four days, we headed back north to San Francisco to spend the rest of our vacation time in and about the city. We cruised the bay, visited with the Sea Lions, spent some time on the more famous Whaler's Wharf and also the world re-known Pier 39 as well. We visited the Golden Gate Bridge via boat tour, bus tour, and even made our way to Sausalito for a quick pass through visit.
I have over 2000 pictures (so far) to review and process … and share. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed this vacation so far.

Wonderful hosts and a lovely location!
"Loved it!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Mar 29, 2012
We only had one night at the Burleigh House, but it was great. Very comfortable rooms, a good breakfast, and close to downtown. The car park was a little difficult for a large vehicle (there were 6 of us on this trip), but we managed. At least it was available! Towels were thick, the whole house was extremely clean, and the proprietors were friendly and welcoming. A wonderful stay!
"Sandpiper Guest House"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 25, 2011
Well run, spotlessly clean B&B - good breakfast and helpful hosts. Plenty of parking and okay for a walk to town for restaurants. Next time we would be sure to book a larger room on a lower floor, but for one night it was fine and Russ helped us with the cases!!

Primary Goal of this Step
Take the necessary steps to make sure you're in the right place to be cared for physically, emotionally, and socially.
Important Tasks: Make Living Arrangements for the End of Life
Determine housing and care needs and wishes for the months and weeks leading up to death.
Consider factors such as health, finances, location of family members, and degree of independence.
Determine the housing options that best fit your situation.
Housing options may include assisted living facilities, in-home care/home health care, nursing homes/skilled nursing care, and hospice at home in a hospice facility. If the preference is for dying at home, you will likely want to engage hospice to help you manage care, or hire home health care (in-home nurse).
If you're considering a care facility, visit that place.
Get a sense of the staff, the other residents, the quality of care, and the facility.
If you're considering in-home care, consult with a home health care specialist or hospice nurse.
A professional end-of-life caregiver will help you figure out what kind of setup you need in the home, including any special medical equipment or changes that need to be made to the space.

Inflation, deflation and fiat systems
Some charts on Money supply. Courtesy Jessie.
As a reminder, in a purely fiat monetary system, inflation and deflation are the result of policy decisions, and not any endogenous factors in the economy. Extreme outcomes such as a protracted deflation or hyperinflation are almost always the result of some policy decision which may be in error, unless they are caused by some exogenous shock or force.
This is a fundamental fact of how a fiat money system works, and what makes it different from a system in which the money is tied to some external control or standard, or some other relatively inflexible metric from the perspective of the system.
Please see Money Supply: A Primer if you wish for an explanation of some of these money supply measures.
And for all the Austrian econommists, I have included True Money Supply as the second graph.

Lacy married Harvey C. Taylor Dec. 24, 1903, and died Aug. 24, 1904. Lulu Ann married Giles Caldwell Dec. 16, 1904.. Mary J., daughter of Levi Griffin and Aura White Hearn, born Apr. 23, 1843, married Wm. Whittaker 1871. Children: Phoebe, Susan, and Emma. Susan married Samuel Crotty, and has several children, and lives at Keystone, McDowell Co., W. Va. Emma married Louis Wiley, a farmer. Ardelia Burke, daughter of Levi Griffin and Aura White Hearn, born Aug 19, 1845, died Mar. 21, 1863. LEVI LAWSON, son of Levi Griffin and Aura White Hearn, born in Mercer Co., W. Va., June 13, 1848. Was raised on the farm, and did his full share of all kinds of work out of doors and in, till 1864, when he left home to avoid entering the Southern army. He was quite tall and when rather young was six feet font inches, and weighed one hundred and fifty pounds and at fifty-six he weighs from 225 to 235. He was always ambitious and very proficient either in study or work. 1861 his three oldest brothers enlisted in the Southern army and the farming was then carried on (in a way) by his father, a younger brother and himself, until 1864, when his father was conscripted into the Southern army and sent to the front below Richmond, Va., and the farm was then carried on by women and boys. In the fall of 1864, the Southern authorities called out all the able bodied white males between the ages of 16 and 60. Levi Lawson Hearn instead of obeying this call went to Gallopolis, O., where he got a job as plug tender, in the U. S. Government stables, at thirty-five dollars per month, and soldiers rations. After the close of the war he returned to his father's home in Mercer Co., W. V., taking with him quite an amount of dry goods and clothing for his father's family, as all such articles were exceedingly scarce there then. He worked on his father's farm till summer of 1867, when he contracted for and built three school houses for his brother and then hired as clerk in a general store for his brother, which he was just starting. While working here he became acquainted with Miss Rhoda L. Tiller, whom he married Sept. 2, 1868. She was born Nov. 4, 1846, and died Nov. 26, 1903. After the marriage his father gave him fifty- three acres of land, all in the woods, a cow and calf, three head of sheep, a hog, and one bed and furnishings and a field to sow in wheat. He only had ten dollars in cash after paying his marriage license and the preacher, who said the ceremony. His wife had

Backing up a workstation with Back In Time
Tuesday, November 24, 2009 12:00:00 PM
It is largely self explanatory. Be aware that it runs with the permissions of the user that launches it, so to avoid complications always run it as root. Otherwise the user instance and root instance will both set cron jobs and the system may be overrun with tasks.
Launch it as root, set as desired, and allow it to schedule needed cron jobs. Then review your cron jobs and modify as needed, perhaps setting a nice value. Make sure there are no duplicated cron jobs.
Your backup repository should be formatted with a POSIX-compliant filesystem. For USB sticks, be aware that they are invariably sold formatted with VFAT, so you will have to reformat them. Mandriva users will find the Mandriva Control Center works well for this; users of other distros can try gparted. One good filesystem for this purpose is ext2.
I have identical redundant backups. To do this -- say, two USB sticks, swapping the stick every day -- format and label each device identically. Set up Back In Time normally, then run a manual backup on one device. Confirm that Back In Time created the top level directory "backintime" on the device. As root, create the empty directory "backintime" on the second device and run a manual backup on it. Henceforth Back In Time will consider each to be the same device.
Back In Time does not itself back up databases, but it can back up the .sql files produced by tools such as phpMyAdmin. Don't forget to set up scheduled automatic backups of your databases.

A recent report by Imperva, a data security firm, found that a web application is attacked one of three days on average writes Lucian Constantin for Computerworld. The report found that a typical web application is attached 137 times in 59 separate days during a six-month period.
These new findings in Imperva's Web Application Attack Report are based on research collected from 50 publicly available web applications between December 2011 and May 2012. The report defined an attack as a burst of malicious traffic that exceeded a rate of 30 attack requests per five minutes.
Other findings in the report included:
- A typical attack had 195 requests and lasted almost 8 minutes. The worse attack of the study was 10 times longer in duration.
- In this year's report, SQL injection (SQLi) was the attack technique most commonly used. In past reports, cross-site scripting and directory traversal attacks were the most common.
- The highest number of SQL injection requests originated in France. This finding is surprising and researchers do not have an answer for why.
Analysts for the Imperva report recommend that companies be prepared to protect their web applications at all times and also to have protection not just against the average attack but for the worse ones as well.

The UK naturist takes pride in their lifestyle. They feel comfortable when they practice nudity. The UK naturist will not take kindly to people who do not follow the rules, so if you plan to visit make sure that you know and follow all the rules and regulations while you are there. If you don't follow the rules and regulations they can and will make you leave. The nudists prefer to feel free and comfortable in their settings so they will not appreciate if others make them feel uneasy or uncomfortable. Wear nudity is legal they have the right to make others leave if the present a problem to that community.
There are nude beaches and colonies throughout the world, so when you are traveling you might want to find out where it is allowed. Some people prefer to live in nudist colonies. If you are considering this for a lifestyle you should first visit one and stay for some time to really get a feel for what it would be like living in one. It is not for everyone. So make sure that you stay for some time to see if it is something you would really want to live in. Then you will need to discuss it with everyone in the household in an open and honest manner. You will need to determine if the rest of the household will be comfortable in this type of setting. If any member is not comfortable then it is not probable for the move to the nudist colony. Living in one is different than visiting one or visiting a nudist beach, because clothing is optional in the colony at all times. This may not be a comfortable environment for some people so make sure of that before you make your move. You need to determine what all the regulations are, too before you decide to move into one. They will enforce the rules if you decide to live in a colony, so be sure you know them and be sure that you follow them. All the members of a colony will expect respect from the other members and will not want to feel uncomfortable. This is where they live and they have a legal right to.
Nudity is a choice that some people find is good for them. It is a choice that only that person can make. It is completely legal in some situations. That is why if you are planning to visit or try it you need to find out where it is permissible. When traveling verify information so you are clear as to where it is legal, especially in another country, because you want to make sure that you are completely legal.

I watched Brynn exit the mall with a few bags from known expensive stores, it seemed like she spent a small fortune. She was walking to her car so I pulled up and after the pleasantries, I offered to pay for her recent shopping spree. After she accepted the cash, I invited her to lunch. During the ride I persuaded her to give me a blow job. She wanted me to reciprocate so I fucked her tight pussy, blasted my jizz all over her face and then dropped her off at a side street with some extra cash for a cab ride home.

After Tumultuous Three Years, Seattle Police Chief John Diaz Will Step Down
With his department under the watch of the federal government, Seattle Police Chief John Diaz announced today he was stepping down.
"Diaz, who has been with the Seattle Police Department for more than 30 years, didn't say why he decided to retire now.
"Diaz has been under close scrutiny since the Department of Justice (DOJ) found in December 2011 that Seattle police officers had engaged in a pattern and practice of excessive force and displayed evidence of biased policing. The DOJ and the City of Seattle reached a settlement in July requiring the department to adopt sweeping reforms.
"'We've gone through some challenges,' he said during the news conference."
Last year, NPR's Martin Kaste reported that Seattle is hardly the first place you'd expect to be under the watch of the feds.
But the Justice Department said that in a review of cases where police officers used force, they found it was "done in an unconstitutional and excessive manner nearly 20 percent of the time."
As Martin reported, the scrutiny began "after the shooting death of John T. Williams, a homeless man of Native Canadian descent." Martin goes on:
"Chris Stearns, a lawyer on the city's Human Rights Commission, recalls that Williams was killed for walking across a street carrying a carving knife and a piece of wood.
"'It's all on videotape,' Stearns says. 'He was given a warning to drop the knife, and it just happened so quickly. It's amazing how quickly it happened.'
"The shooting was ruled unjustified, and the young cop involved left the force, though he was not prosecuted."
The Seattle PI reports that Assistant Police Chief Jim Pugel will become interim chief. Diaz's resignation goes into effect in May.

Great Rivers of Florida 2013 8 days with American Cruise Lines Rating:
Day 1 - Jacksonville, FL area (Amelia Island)
Departing for Palatka, you will enjoy a leisurely journey along the slow-moving waters of the St. Johns River, one of only three rivers in the nation that flows north. For the avid birdwatcher, the St. Johns is home to over 200 species of birds including the bald eagle, swallowtail kite, and wood stork. Discover why the St. Johns River, with unlimited recreation, celebrated history, and protected wildlife, has been distinguished as one of the fourteen American Heritage Rivers. Day 2 - Palatka, FL The late 1800's marked the golden age of Palatka, a time when Palatka rivaled Jacksonville as the major port on the St. Johns River. Not only was it known for its worldwide shipping commerce of citrus and timber, it attracted a vast number of tourists and wealthy northerners looking to relocate to picturesque northern Florida. Today, it remains a charming river town with grand homes and restored plantation houses that stand as a testament to the distinguished residents that once called Palatka home. Nature enthusiasts will enjoy visiting the beautifully landscaped Ravine Gardens State Park, famous for its thousands of azaleas and other sub-tropical blooms. Day 3 - Cruising the St. Johns to Lake George (Ocala National Forest) Today, you'll continue to cruise the St. Johns River to Lake George, which is bordered on the west bank by the Ocala National Forest. Ocala is the second largest National Forest in Florida and the oldest national forest east of the Mississippi River. Lake George is the second-largest freshwater lake (only Lake Okeechobee is bigger) in Florida and the largest along the St. Johns River. The lake hosts a wide variety of wildlife ranging from migratory water birds and alligators to a number of marine animals. Local springs in Lake George feed enough salt to the system to make the habitat suitable to marine species like Atlantic stingray, striped bass and blue crabs. Day 4 - Green Cove Springs, FL Had Ponce de Leon traveled further inland when exploring Florida in the 1500's, he very likely would have discovered his fountain of youth in the area now known as Green Cove Springs. Three hundred years after Ponce de Leon, Green Cove Springs attracted a surge of vacationers from the north, drawn to the warm mineral spring reputed to have medicinal qualities and healing powers. Steamboat services brought the elite, including President Abraham Lincoln, noted showman P.T. Barnum, and President Grover Cleveland, searching for a warm retreat from the winter's harsh climate. Today, along with the crystal clear spring, visitors can explore the historic district known as the Historic Triangle, which includes historic homes, courthouse and a very unique restored theater. Day 5 - Cruising the Tolomato River Today, you will experience one of the most fascinating stretches of inland waterways in the United States – the Tolomato River. Among the many spectacular sights that await you is the Atlantic Ocean, visible over the Barrier Islands from this smooth, unique Inland Passage. Grab your binoculars and join our invited naturalist on one of our open observation decks for unparalleled views of fascinating wildlife, captivating sunsets, hidden villages, and unending miles of pristine landscape. Day 6 - St. Augustine, FL Established in 1565, St. Augustine is recognized as America's oldest surviving European settlement. In the late 1800's, oil millionaire, Henry Flagler, built a number of elegant hotels and churches in the old city in an attempt to fulfill his vision of establishing an American Riviera along Florida's eastern shores. Although this "golden era" ended in the early 1900's, Flagler's legacy remains, and his buildings grace St. Augustine as both monuments to early American opulence and architectural ingenuity. Spend the afternoon exploring historic ruins, unique architecture, and the narrowed streets of a city once used as a remote outpost of the Spanish Empire. Day 7 - Amelia Island, FL Discover the unspoiled beauty of pristine Amelia Island, with its miles of quartz beaches and rolling sand dunes, surrounded by calm waterways and the Nassau Sound. Throughout its history, Amelia Island was home to Spanish explorers, French Huguenots and British settlers before enjoying its "golden age" during the late 1800's when several wealthy Americans relocated to this picturesque island. Once a bustling Victorian seaport, Fernandina Beach, the island's only city, now harbors a treasure trove of history, antiques, and collectibles just steps from your ship. Discover the Historic District, with 50 blocks of restored 19th century Victorian homes and shops, or take a leisurely stroll along the shady tree-lined avenues and explore Amelia Island's charm at your own pace. Day 8 – Amelia Island / Jacksonville, FL
All This Included
Designated an American Heritage River, the St. Johns is one of the few north-flowing rivers above the equator. Along this river, you'll sail a route that adventurous passengers first followed on 19th-century paddle-wheelers in search of a tropical paradise. With the advent of the railroads, tourism headed further south and the St. Johns meandered serenely and untouched thereafter. The artesian mineral springs that feed its waters have created an extraordinary environment for flora and fauna, with creeks, lagoons and lakes opening before you in magical splendor. Journey to the heart of the Ocala National Forest where you'll observe alligators, playful manatees, and majestic bald eagles all in their natural habitats.

I spent the last few days at the 3GSM conference in Barcelona. It was the first 3GSM for me, very informative, met lots of interesting people, had lots of great conversations. Here are some of the highlights and takeaways from my perspective:
- I thought Rudy and company did a fantastic job with the Mobile Monday Global Peer Awards. I heard about a bunch of new companies I hadn't ever seen before (check out the list of finalists for some interesting pointers), it was a great chance to connect with a bunch of folks I hadn't seen in a while, and I was proud to see that the local team (Mobile Complete) fared so well in the placings.
- There was more Linux presence than I expected there to be. Of course I knew Trolltech was going to be there with the Greenphone. But Access also had a tremendous booth and signs up all over the place about their mobile Linux stuff. The Motorola and Samsung booths also had Linux featured pretty prominently. It's interesting to see the different usages of Linux as a base, varying from completely open like Trolltech to completely hidden like Motorola and Samsung.
- I got a chance to play around with the E90 Communicator in the Nokia booth. Like all the communicator series it's a brick of course, but this time the brick runs a whole boatload more software than the previous versions cause it's S60 based. The old communicators had a really very small screen on the front and the large screen inside. The outside display on the E90 is the same resolution on something like a 6680, so you can use it closed for real applications. And the inside screen is nearly laptop resolution. Will they manage to start shipping it before my interest in the platform dies completely? Only time will tell. I'm just going to assume this time that push email won't work, so that I don't get disappointed.
- While helping out at the AdMob booth I was forced to realize that the mobile world won't end up changing the online world like I had assumed it would. It really looks like the innovation is going to flow the other way around. People who are already working in mobile have had all semblance of initiative and innovation beaten out of them. You can lay a new business model down in front of them and explain in detail how it works, and generally they aren't able to grasp it unless it looks enough like something they already know. However, people coming from the online world and looking to expand into mobile generally are accustomed to a shifting environment and taking in new opportunities and integrating them into their mental framework. It's really wrong on a number of levels. The number of handsets out in the market dwarfs the number of PCs, the experience on those handsets are different, the context of the user is different, the networks inbetween offer different capabilities, and asynchronous messaging means something completely different. The stage should be set for mobile to completely subsume the online world. But instead it's the people from the online world staggering out into the sun and realizing there's no one trying to grab the potential of the new medium and just picking up the pieces waiting for them. Just means we'll have to wait a while as the online folks start to really understand "this whole mobile thing" in order for the real applications to start coming around.
- I got to meet Luca and Andrea of WURFL fame and have some good conversations, caught up with Dan Appelquist to jaw some about the future Mobile 2.0 events, and had some great conversations with the dotMobi folks about their developer initiatives. The dotMobi folks have been talking about growing the overall mobile ecosystem, which is exactly the kind of thing I've been trying to help do with Mobile Monday in Silicon Vally, the Mobile 2.0 conference, and overall at AdMob. And Dan pointed me at the Betavine project going on at Vodafone with the same goals. With so many of us pointed in the same direction hopefully we'll be able to make some progress on that goal.
- In general the European operators do seem to be more progressive than the US carriers. Most of Europe is still clinging to the per-KB based charge structure for data, which really stifles the mobile web quite a bit, so I tend to lump them all into the same conservative grouping. But they do seem to smell the winds of change and they're interested in trying to stay ahead of the game. I kept getting the question about what's the best way to increase mobile web usage, to which I always answer flat rate data plans. Everyone still wrinkles their nose and generally doesn't want mobile web to expand badly enough to give up data tariffs. I heard a lot of activity around 3GSM from groups that do stuff like "consumer advocacy", generally complaining about the hidden data costs associated with services like music download and the general opaqueness of the pricing plans. It just seems such an unlivable situation I'm not sure how it's gone on this long, so I won't say it'll stop soon. But the forces do seem to be aligning against the oppression of data services through pricing discrimination.
I have a few pictures I took to show to folks back at the office, but there's nothing interesting in there like juicy unreleased product photos. It was a great event, very happy I had a chance to attend and check it out in person.

Gov. Huckabee and Huck PAC endorse David Dewhurst for US Senate
by Mike Huckabee
Huckabee Releases Statement about Dewhurst's Bid in Texas
Little Rock, AR – Governor Mike Huckabee issued the following statement about David Dewhurst:
"Huck PAC and I are pleased to endorse Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst for U.S. Senate from Texas. A native Texan, David Dewhurst has served as Lieutenant Governor and President of the Texas Senate since 2003.
Lt. Governor Dewhurst is a strong fiscal conservative, with a record to show for it. He's been an ardent supporter of legislation to create new jobs and improve the economy of Texas. Lt. Governor Dewhurst repeatedly helped cut spending and taxes, including the largest tax cut in Texas history and balancing every budget since taking office. As a result, Texas' economy has grown faster than the national economy and more Texans are employed than at any other time in the state's history.
Not only is he a fiscal conservative, but he shares our social values as well and will continue to fight for our shared values in Washington. Lt. Governor Dewhurst has worked on passing legislation to protect the sanctity of life and define marriage as a union between one man and one woman. He also strongly believes in our 2nd amendment rights.
I hope you will join me in supporting Lt. Governor David Dewhurst for U.S. Senate from Texas.
To find out more about his campaign, please visit his website here."

Re: The Lone Star State
I imagine if you could take a magnifying glass up to the star on the Texas state flag, you would see that it is made up of thousands of tiny stars(so I imagine). Sounds like David, like Rick Perry, is one of those little stars that make the state and nation work.
Once you get to know a Texan, you'll find they work very hard and can relate to many kinds of people. All the best, David. We need more like you in D.C.-the Duncan Hunter types.

2 people killed, 1 wounded in Florida shooting
MIAMI (AFP) - Two people were killed and a third critically wounded when a firefight broke out at a Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Florida, the Orlando Sentinel reported on Sunday.
Lieutenant Doug Seely, a spokesman for the police in the town of Winter Springs north of Orlando, told the Sentinel that a confrontation in the parking lot preceded the shooting.
It was not immediately clear how many shooters were involved. Several arrests were made and weapons were confiscated, Mr Seely said.
But a shooter or shooters opened fire on a motorcycle club members as they gathered for a charity fundraiser, the paper reported.

Peter Garrison's overview of instrument flying ["Rush to Judgment," August 612], its risks, and how they pertain to the recent accident involving John Kennedy Jr. and his passengers provided the most informative and well-balanced piece of media output I have read on the subject of that unfortunate event.
As a pilot (instrument-rated), I am constantly amazed at the level of ignorance that is evident in the writing after a high-profile aviation accident, and the sensationalist and ambiguous reporting style that it consequently generates. Mr. Garrison's article neither lays blame nor absolves anyone or anything from guilt; instead, he draws a picture of the real world of operations within the aviation environment, putting the facts on the table for consideration of their merits or lack thereof.
Thanks for publishing Peter Garrison, an informed and reasoning voice.
Re: "On Granada Hills" [August 1319]. I don't know what kind of a sheltered life Harold Meyerson's parents or grandparents lived, but guns were more available and easier to obtain then than now, certainly in the South, Midwest, Southwest and Northwest. There were nowhere near the laws or restrictions. Just think, all of us horrible, ignorant, gun-toting, toothless morons were actually driving around with loaded high-
powered hunting rifles in racks in the back windows of our pickup trucks. We also had more freedom to carry around sidearms without permits.
No, the problem is not guns; it is a total lack of morals and respect, caused by a bunch of liberal elitists, a gutless public school system run by socialist educators, soft judges, self-serving lawyers, mostly left-wing news media and a federal goverment led by the most amoral president in history.
Gun haters always deliver twisted information to suit their own agenda. Not even the total confiscation of every gun in the U.S. will stop lunatics from committing terrible crimes with guns obtained elsewhere, or by other means.
--Jordan Max
Lincoln City, Oregon
Harold Meyerson's take on the "Old Country," where "anti-Semitism was ubiquitous and guns were scarce," failed to take into consideration that guns were particularly "scarce" for the Jewish populace. They were disarmed by the orders of Adolf Hitler with the supposed intent of "making Germany a safer place without individual ownership of guns." If the people hadn't bought the lie about giving up their rights to protect themselves under the guise of "safety," and guns had been more common, perhaps more of the victims of the Holocaust would be alive today to champion our right to "keep and bear arms."
Los Angeles
Re: Danny Feingold's news piece on the new parking restrictions on Sandpiper Street in Playa del Rey ["It's Lonely at the Top," August 1319]. This sort of law enforcement is becoming an all-too-common practice. It's called criminalizing reasonable behavior. Why do so? Because it's easy for law enforcement to look like they are working hard, by creating "instant crime." They can simply write everyone a ticket -- with "probable cause" to harass people who, for the most part, simply want to enjoy a nice view on a pleasant day or evening. Despite the Pacific Division's assertions that this street is a hotbed of illegal activity, they could make only nine arrests? Stake out any block in L.A. County for four months, and I'm sure you could make at least nine arrests. Were one to apply this logic and these arrest statistics to other areas of the city, we'd have to make parking illegal 24 hours a day on every street in Hollywood.
Basically, this sort of approach has more to do with laziness on the part of law enforcement than any real concern for public safety. What better way to up the crime stats and generate some revenue (while looking busy doing nothing) than to make reasonable behavior a crime? Is the public interest served by this? Aren't there any unsolved crimes of a serious nature that the police could better expend their energies on?
Los Angeles
Thanks for Miriam Jacobson's enlightening Real Gone article concerning Vancouver and the civilized methods it is employing to overcome the cancer that is the "Drug War" ["Reefer Madness," August 1319]. It proves once again that the war isn't about drugs, but about the individuals and acronyms who are making a financial killing by promoting this terrible war.
Kremmling, Colorado
Why is the L.A. Weekly so hard to find in Boyle Heights? Is Boyle Heights not part of Los Angeles? Do you think that there would be low readership? If there is low readership in Boyle Heights, it's because the Weekly has very limited, if any, drop-off points. It's easier to find a Weekly in Pasadena than it is in Boyle Heights. Growing up in Boyle Heights, I was not aware that there was such a thing as the Weekly until I got out of L.A.!
In the past six months or so, many of your articles have focused heavily on the City Council elections for the 14th District seat, which includes Boyle Heights. Unfortunately, your articles have not reached the people most desperate for information on the candidates. Your endorsement regarding the candidates seeking the 14th District seat has been in vain, because most people here don't know you exist.

Stop Calling Me A Social Media Marketing Expert
I've tried hard to not call myself a social media marketing expert or guru or master or rock star. What I haven't done is correct others when they have. And I haven't done a very good job of letting people know what I really am. That's all about to change.
The Lure Of The Shiny Object
The sexiness of the social media space and the desire to see a immediate return on the time investment required to access it, has created an atmosphere ripe for solutions to problems that don't really exist. And it has enlightened us to some changes that need to be made at Real Estate Shows.
Nothing Is Free
The notion that monetization, measurements of effectiveness and ROI are to be abandoned in the Social Media world is a foolish argument. It's the same kind of nonsense that permeated the dot.com world and led to its meltdown. In hindsight, intelligent venture capitalists lost their sanity and threw millions of dollars at ideas that would never earn a nickel. That message was crap back then. It still is.
Using Social Media To Strengthen Your Brand
Ever since the word brand (a noun) was expanded to branding (a verb) interpretive misunderstandings about what "brand" and "branding" really are have multiplied. Various self-proclaimed gurus (consultants above criticism) have written about the sins of misguided "branding." Unfortunately, too often, they themselves didn't know what a brand or branding were either. So they just added to the confusion and the body of misconceptions masquerading as wisdom.
Looking At Problems Differently
Solving a crossword puzzle requires a good understanding of crossword conventions, puzzle logic and a broad general knowledge (vocabulary, literature, culture, art, sciences, geograpy, etc.). You can learn the conventions and logic relatively quickly, but the general knowledge is what separates the men from the boys. Bill Leider is a man.
Waltzing To A Samba – The Real World Realities Of Changing Your Organization
Change for change's sake has never made good business sense. Self proclaimed "visionaries" who tell you to destroy what you have built because fashion dictates it have probably never run a successful company over a long period of time. Still, you cannot ignore the winds of change. Social Media is here to stay. We'd like to suggest a different approach.

RIP to all who parished 9/11/01 any thoughts?
Yeah i just joined the navy and when i woke up I was really suprised that i rememberd the fact that it was 9/11. I never really gave it much thought but it just moved me thinking about the lives that were lost and the freedoms that those actions attempted to take away
I'm just agitated that nothing has changed! Makes you wonder where all the $ in America goes...Well, in big peoples, big pockets apparently . When you watch the news, and realize that nothing is safer, nothing is more secure, etc it pisses you off. This president has just been lucky that nobody else attacked really.
Though, does it really matter? He'll never get impeached it seems because very few politicians have the balls to REALLY stand up against him. After as much shit has went down since he's in office, and time after time he (along with the rest of his party) has made me believe a group of Monkeys could run the country as good if not better....I don't think it matters. High gas prices, a war that is a complete waste of time/ money, response/ lack of response to Katrina, and has the balls to say things are going so well LOL. Goin' well for him, his friends, his family, and the rich in general maybe....
You know, it's kind of funny because if it wasn't for 9/11 the Patriot Act probably would never have been passed and my older brother wouldn't have gotten his green card, so 9/11 means quite a bit to me.
I don't think the things have gotten better for the country, but at least some people have found the good in the bad.
Xia i dont know wtf that book is about, but it's probably about your crazy conspieracy theories, so stay out of this
LOL, just read the top reviews for that book! Funny as hell, and gives you a general idea of what the book is about....
i would like to say, osama actin all big 'n' bad and he has to hide in a hole... If he has no electricity he will die.. i dont know why they dont see that.. he is on dialasis..... we'll get him.
Any of you believe that Osama Bin Laden letter leak from France?
I support our president, just my 2 cents
