David S. Isenberg's musings about loci of intelligence and stupidity.

I had the sad honor of being invited to make a few remarks at Aaron Swartz's memorial gathering in New York City yesterday. Aaron hung himself rather than face a future labeled as a felon for liberating a bunch of academic articles that he believed belonged to humankind. Cory Doctorow at BoingBoing, and Larry Lessig at LessigBlog2.0 and DemocracyNow! and a dozen others that Google will find have told the details and the context.
My job was to introduce a video of excerpts from Aaron's speech at F2C: Freedom to Connect 2012. Here are my remarks, more or less as I delivered them:
I can't even remember the first time I met Aaron. He was just there in the same community I was. This community.
I got joined to this community when I was at AT&T Bell Labs in the mid 90s and I wrote an essay called "The Rise of the Stupid Network." The essay tried to tell AT&T that the Internet would shift control of the network from them — the telephone and cable companies — to us. The essay "went viral on the Internet" before most of us knew what "going viral" was. Soon "The Rise of the Stupid Network" was such an embarrassment to AT&T that I lost my job.
Over the next few years the telephone companies and cable companies and their allies got what I had been trying to say. They waged war to thwart regulation, beat down competition and distort the law to keep the Internet — which is to say the shift of control from them to us — from happening. Aaron died in that war.
In 2004 I organized a conference to give voice to our side of this war called F2C: Freedom to Connect. Last year I invited Aaron to speak at F2C: Freedom to Connect. He asked me what what to talk about. Knowing Aaron, I told him, "Anything you want." But I told him, "Really work on it. Give the speech of your life." As you will see, or maybe you've already seen the speech he gave on line, he did that.
A few days before last year's F2C: Freedom to Connect, Aaron briefed me on what he was going to say. I was surprised that he didn't mention his own JSTOR fight. I said, "Aren't you going to talk about that?" And he said, "No."
No. Aaron wanted to talk about the big fight to make the world a better place. I am afraid Aaron's legacy will be dumbed down to "hacker" or "copyfighter" the way the media dumbed down the SOPA fight to "Google versus the telephone companies." Let's not forget that Aaron fought the bigger fight, the fight for access, for justice, for democracy, for us. And not just for us in THIS community, but for all of us.
Here are some excerpts of his F2C: Freedom to Connect speech. As you'll see Aaron actually says it better than I could, so over to you, Aaron.
DO NOT rest in peace Aaron. May your memory, and the work you've done so far continue to give 'em hell.

Yesterday I announced that F2C: Freedom to Connect would convene on March 4 & 5 in Washington DC. Registration is open too, and deeply discounted Early Bird prices are in effect through mid-January only.
The agenda addresses three core topics:
The first is an open infrastructure owned or controlled by and responsive to the community it serves and whose resources it depends upon. This will be addressed by Joey Durel (Mayor of Lafayette LA), Terry Huval (Director of Lafayette Utilities System), Pat Kennedy (founder, Lit San Leandro), Chris Mitchell (MuniNetworks.Org), James Salter (Atlantic Engineering Group), Catharine Rice (President, SEATOA) and others to be announced.
The second is a publicly specified set of Internet protocols open to all who meet its specifications.This will be address by Vint Cerf (Internet Evangelist, Google), Peter Cochrane (former Chief Scientist, BT), Dan Gillmor (Founding Director of the Knight Center for Digital Media Entrepreneurship at Arizona State University) and other speakers to be announced.
The third is the use of the Internet to promote government of, by and for the people, and to counteract autocratic government power. This topic will be addressed by Ed Bender (Executive Director, National Institute on Money and State Politics), Darcy Burner (Candidate for US House of Representatives, 2006, 2008, 2012), Lisa Graves (Executive Director of the Center for Media and Democracy), Ben Huh (founder, Cheezeburger.com), Alexis Ohanian (co-founder, Reddit & instigator of the Internet 2012 Bus Tour), and Alec Ross (tentative)(Senior Advisor for Innovation, US State Department).
Of course, many of the speakers will address two, or all three of these profoundly interrelated topics.
More speakers will be announced over the coming weeks.

[This post, originally posted at 4PM on 11/8/12, is now revised as of 6:40 AM 11/9/12. The revision includes some factual changes thanks to EPB's Danna Bailey, and a bit of rewriting for flow and clarity by yours truly. I've indicated the factual changes. Overall, the original hastily posted piece wasn't too bad, if I say so myself, but the revised one below is substantially stronger. -- David I]
With hundreds of thousands of households in the Northeast United States dark and cold for over a week from Hurricane Sandy, and with and many more thousands newly dark from this week's snowstorm Athena, we could learn a thing or two about electrical power restoration from Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Last July 5, a severe windstorm ripped through Chattanooga without warning. A boat flipped in a nearby reservoir killing two. Trees fell on cars and houses. The storm was captured in many dramatic Youtube videos.
Between 2007 and 2011, Chattanooga's electric company installed a smart grid with fiber optic connections to almost all most of its 170,000 electric meters in its 600 square mile service region, including 1200 automated electric power switches. [Ms. Bailey says that these are IntelliRupter PulseClosers and they're made by S&C Electric Company in Chicago.]
From the severity of the July 5 storm, the electric company estimated that 77,000 customers would have been put out of service. But thanks to the smart grid technology, only 35,000 lost power for long enough to require a truck roll. The rest benefitted from Chattanooga's fiber optics and automated switches, which either protected them against outages, limited outages to a few seconds, or otherwise allowed for automated restoration.
Chattanooga's electric company, known as EPB, could then devote its trucks and crews to the other 35,000 outages. It finished its restoration in 3.5 days, saving an estimated day and a half and roughly $1,400,000 in restoration costs. Colman Keane, EPB's Director of Fiber Technology, explained to me that the smart grid pinpoints outages, so crews can [more efficiently] address thousand-home outages first before they deal with power lines affecting three or four homes. In the old days, he said, crews would have to drive up and down looking at the lines. Now a dispatcher with a geographic information system directs crews to the most important faults first. [Even more importantly, Ms. Bailey adds, before the smart grid, technicians needed to go to the old switches to manually reroute power.]
[Ms. Bailey points to other benefits too, including fully automated meter reading and improved asset management.]
Without a smart grid, a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory estimates that outages would cost a Chattanooga-sized community $100 million a year (citation). EPB's goal is to save about 40% or $40 million a year yearly by providing faster restoration. Indeed, the numbers from the July 5 storm are even better — some 55% of homes (42,000 of 77,000) survived or were automatically restored. A million customer outage hours were avoided.
In addition, its smart meters are resistant to electricity thieves — it's impossible to bypass smart meters connected by fiber optics. This [is anticipated to] saves tens of millions of dollars annually in avoided theft. [Ms. Bailey says (a) EPB has not yet fully implemented theft management because not every meter is connected to fiber optics yet, and (b) the anticipated annual savings are around $5-6 million.]
It took Chattanooga only three years to build its 3900-mile smart grid. Its cost is estimated as some $300 million by independent fiber optic construction experts. Clearly, savings from faster restoration and theft avoidance could pay for the network in just a few years, whereas the useful life of Chattanooga's smart grid is measured in decades.
But the smart grid's benefits to Chattanooga don't stop there. It is the first city in America to offer up to a gigabit to every home in the city, beating Google's more famous Kansas City fiber project by several years. More affordable services are offered at 100 mbit/s and 250 mbit/s. These are symmetrical Internet connections that offer 100 or 250 actual megabits uploads and downloads. In contrast, typical telco and cableco connections offer speeds "up to" 4 megabits, 15 megabits, or if you're really, really lucky to live in the right neighborhood, up to 100 megabits.
The business world has noticed Chattanooga's reliable power and awesome connectivity. Amazon has opened a new distribution center in Chattanooga with some 1700 new jobs and it is ramping up with hundreds more for the Christmas season (citation). The local cardboard box company is happy, the local trucking company is licking its chops and the airport is expanding. Volkswagen recently opened an auto factory, and it is already expanding it again by some 800 jobs. Young entrepreneurs are moving in, and Chattanooga's upwardly mobile young people are staying there and/or moving back.
For us in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, jobs are nice and fast Internet connections are nice, but having reliable electricity — and heat, which too often depends on electricity — can be a matter of life or death.
Smart grid is available today. It's not hard possible to build, as Chattanooga has shown us. It pays for itself. It even makes money — EPB's Danna Bailey says that fiber optic services have generated $17 million so far (in its first year or two of operation). It makes our grid more reliable as violent storms become increasingly frequent. And it makes our Internet connections awesome. What ARE we waiting for?

The good news is that Tuesday's New York Times article by Brian X. Chen actually questions claims by the big cellcos — AT&T and Verizon mostly — that we're running out of spectrum. It edges away from the easy analogy that electromagnetic spectrum is real estate.
The spectrum-as-real-estate analogy is so pervasive that we tend not to think about it. We talk about low frequency spectrum as "beachfront property," because it is thought to be more valuable. (It is not much attenuated by walls, leaves and air the way higher frequency spectrum is.) We reify that a company can "own" a given frequency band the way we own — and buy and sell — real estate. We say spectrum is congested by increased traffic and we're running out of space.
The pervasive misunderstanding of how we use — and could use — the electromagnetic spectrum was eloquently addressed in layman's terms by The Myth of Interference, a 2003 Salon article by David Weinberger that I wish every reporter, legislator and wireless policy "expert" would read. The Myth charts a sensible path towards a physically veridical, technology based approach to the use of the electromagnetic spectrum. Central to The Myth's argument is the fact that current policy, based on the licensing of frequency bands, was shaped by the technology of the 1920s. Today, as The Myth explains, the technologies of wireless communications are vastly expanded, but regulations are still stuck in the 1920s. And the incumbents want to keep them there.
The bad news is that the New York Times article doesn't cleanly separate myth and analogy from physics and technology. The article mixes literal, physical reality with analogies that foster certain monopoly-preserving conclusions. The article fails to distinguish which is which. It talks about "slices of radio waves," it confuses licensing with ownership and it treats Wi-Fi offload as if Wi-Fi were an alternative to the use of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Even the headline — "Carriers Warn of Crisis in Mobile Spectrum." — isn't what the story is about. A more accurate headline would have said, "Experts Question Carrier Spectrum Claims." The lede is buried in the fourth paragraph: "But is there really a crisis?" The article misses key specifics, such as the fact that in the (now failed) 36 billion dollar T-Mobile merger with AT&T, the spectrum was valued at $6 billion, and the fact that only about 10% of cell towers have fiber optic backhaul, which means that cellular data capacity can be limited by old DS-1, DS-3 and microwave backhaul technology rather than by wireless electromagnetic receiver overload.
The result is journalism that's (perhaps unconsciously) shaped by the industry the journalism purports to question. It is as if the cellcos claim 1+1=3, while a few dissident experts — Martin Cooper, David Reed and me — protest that it is 2, then the true answer must lie somewhere in the range between 2 and 3.
Don't get me wrong. I'm glad that the Times is beginning to explore the idea that the spectrum-as-real-estate analogy is a regulatory fiction.
The core of the story is whether or not spectrum is a rival good. A rival good is something that when it's used by one party can't be used by another. The cellcos say it is. Current FCC regulation does too. But David Reed has repeatedly pointed out that physics — our understanding of physical reality — says otherwise. The article paraphrases him: electromagnetic spectrum is not finite. Not finite. In other words, infinite.
The article also paraphrases Reed saying, "Arguing that the nation could run out of spectrum is like saying it was going to run out of a color." I explained to Brian Chen that spectrum is literally the exact same energy as light, not some far-fetched analogy. I explained that visible light is a subset of the electromagnetic spectrum. And that a frequency band is not *analogous* to a color, it is literally precisely the same electromagnetic energy as a color, only at a frequency that is outside of the capacity of our visual system. Some of this is captured in the 3.5 minute video that accompanies the article. The video also labels spectrum a public good. Yay!
In the end, the article misses the opportunity to do a "so what." My so what would be this: Let's totally rethink regulation in light of today's technology. If the New York Times said it, I'd jump up and down in celebration.
I won't belabor the article further. Given all the other reporting on the so-called spectrum crisis, it's a net win for us reality-based folks. But I will observe that if the New York Times — the most respected news source in the United States of America today — is doing this kind of job on issues my colleagues and I actually do understand, we can be pretty durn sure what it is doing on the war, the economy, health care, education, crime, the climate; on all the big stories of our day. No wonder we're in such deep shit.
[Note: NYT reporter Brian X. Chen also questioned carrier claims about caps on data usage a couple of months ago. He's doing a good job on a tough assignment in a harsh environment. When he calls, let's help!]

I'm not quite done reading Debt: The first 5000 years, by David Graeber, but I want to give an early report. It is full of surprises!
Debt is an examination of the role of money, currency and debt in society. It is a long-view look at economics. I hesitate to call it empirical, but it is evidence-based on the anthropological record. It traces the evolution of economic behavior by observing evidence regarding the stuff of economics — goods, land, labor, resources, value, ownership, exchange, wealth, markets, commerce — throughout history in a wide variety of cultures on all the inhabited continents.
The first surprise is, well, you know that well-known theory that money was invented because Peasant A had 2 chickens and Peasant B had 6 cabbages, and B wanted chickens but A didn't need cabbages, so they invented an intermediate token called money to represent the abstract value of cabbages and chickens? FALSE, according to Graeber. He reviews the literature to note that the key early economists (notably Adam Smith, but also others) treated this theory as so obvious that no evidence was needed.
Then Graeber went looking across time and geography for any evidence of barter societies that evolved intermediary tokens of value, i.e., proto-money. This led to the second surprise: he didn't find evidence that a single primitive society even WAS a barter society that fit any of the presumptive models. (Barter sometimes occurred between tribes that were distinct (and often at war), but not within a tribe. Within a tribe the modal finding was that value was shared in small-c communistic ways . . . stuff belonged to the tribe as a whole rather than to individuals.)
So then Graeber went looking for where money first arose. Surprise number 3: Money arose (a) to pay soldiers and (b) so subjugated people could pay their conquerors for the privilege of being subjugated. Which they could not do, of course, hence debt — and its consequences.
I am eliding a lot of detail and missing additional key points. I am also unqualified to say whether Graeber is treating the evidence he recounts in a complete and even- handed way, and this is my biggest botheration as I read Debt.
However, I can report that Graeber's key point is that money and debt were invented to be tools of militarism, power, kleptocracy, violence, subjugation and serfdom. Eyes wide open: these are the relationships of economics — the happy villagers eating, drinking and dancing in the market square on Saturday, not so much.
"Debt peonage" is alive and well today — it is no accident that David Graeber is also one of the intellects of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
As soon as I get done reading it, I'm going on a hunt for critical reviews. But meanwhile, I'm finding it quite mind-expanding to follow Graeber's "everything you know about economics is wrong," chain of evidence.

Alexander Ovsov has honored my essay, Making Network Neutrality Sustainable by translating it into Romanian. Thanks Alexander!
In a 2009 comment on this essay, I wrote:
We can expect today's gained ground to erode under our feet. We can expect to
keep fighting a long time. Or we can use today's momentum to change the core
of the entities driving the fight so it's simply not in their interests to continue it.
The choice is ours.
Today we're fighting SOPA and PIPA. If we win, tomorrow it'll be something else. The Internet will remain under attack, and the battles will continue, until the applications are separated by law from the infrastructure.
The fight for the freedom of the Internet knows no borders. I am delighted that Alexander has found it worthwhile to make Making Network Neutrality Sustainable accessible to a whole new language community.

MADISON – Wisconsin will be able to help more state residents understand and access their health care options and manage the transition from nursing home to community-based care thanks to $2.1 million in grants under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that were announced this week.
The long-term care grants, announced by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Department, are geared at making it easier for individuals and caregivers to navigate the health and long-term care options available in Wisconsin, especially community-based long-term care options.
"It can be very difficult to sort through the many health care options," said Karen Timberlake, Department of Health Services Secretary. "The ACA seeks to make health care affordable, and these grants make it easier for people to access that care by helping them understand their choices and how to get the services they need."
The grants will:
The Affordable Care Act recently marked its six-month anniversary. Wisconsin has received several grants through the ACA, which will improve health care in the state.
Wisconsin also received three additional grants from HHS to improve the well-being of people with Alzheimer's disease or related dementia. The grants assist in providing respite for family caregivers, improving referral procedures and offering innovative activities for people with dementia.

Well, then this is the perfect place then isnt it?.... because it appears that there is not a lot of love for the Stones on this board, based on what people post anyway.Quote
I thought it was impossible to love VH and the Stones at the same time
hope it isn't taken down yet:
that reminds me....
You know one of the best things about the Hampton show? SEVENTEEN DOLLAR TICKETS!!! Remember how we thought $17.00 was a high price back then? Only $17 dollars, heck, that is the ticket bastard fee these days (or should I say that is 1/2 the ticketbastard fee)
I got the new CD and damn it, they put out a great release, the single is by far the weakest track....it is very heavy, even for Van Halen.
If only they had kept some cases of vintage shirts... did you see my edit above?

Thats crazy Max! You could make a cooler shirt than that for far less money, who cares if it's not the original, you're gonna wear it , not screw it, right? Chris Fritz...that brings back the memories, he was quite the midwest promoter in his day wasn't he? I heard he got beaten down by the big guys in later years, his story would be a good one for a book. I remember meeting him once around 1980, nice fellow but a bit cocky and headstrong.
I met with him because I promoted a show in Columbia MO where Head East and Eddie Money played. We were just teenagers but made about $25,000 profit on the show and thought the world was going to be easy after that.....ha ha lessons learned the hard way. We payed $7,000 for the bands as I recall, had to come up with $3,500 up front to get them to commit to the venue. It was a different time. Mr. Fritz was good to us that week. Thanks for the memories Max, you rock! peace
Heard the new Van Halen album on the weekend and must say it was a surprise; was expecting a middling effort, given the lenght of time they'd been saway (last studio album was 1998!) - and the single "Tattoo" didn't promise much.
The album rocks! Some seriously good tracks on there; I know, a lot of older demos/riffs were resurrected and used, but if so they chose some damn good 'uns. A mighty fine album and exceeded all expectations I had for it
great... cannot wait for MSG
I broke down last evening and bought tickets for VH tonight.
Am I an idiot?
The last time I saw them, 30 years ago, they really pissed me off.
I'll let you know how it goes...

Just a thought after reading through the comments as a whole.
To be clear, I'm not disagreeing with your earlier posts, Ben.
I don't know what the writer's intent is, so I'm not sure what sort of story this is supposed to be. For example, if this was story in a travel magazine, then I would want to see lots of minute detail, lots of city names, etc. However, I thought the story's focus was on the young man and his love for music, so that's what I zeroed in on. Either way, I like the story because--intentionally or unintentionally--it taught me a few things about Norway. I would definitely like to visit Alesund. Just pronouncing the city names was enjoyable. Funny how to me they sounded sort of Germanic, and so I could translate their meanings without knowing Norwegian.

By Steve DeVane Staff writer
PINEHURST - Nearly two-thirds of the tickets for next year's historic back-to-back U.S. Open and U.S. Women's Open have been sold, U.S. Golf Association officials say.
The two tournaments will be played on consecutive weeks at Pinehurst Resort's famed No. 2 course in June 2014. It is the first time they have been played at the same place in the tournament's history.
About 62 percent of the tickets for next year have been sold, said Reg Jones, the USGA's senior director of U.S. Open championships.
Tickets went on sale to the public June 10. Tickets for USGA members went on sale March 1. American Express card members could buy tickets starting May 2.
The sales are on pace with sales for the 2013 U.S. Open and well ahead of the previous three years, Jones said.
About 25,000 tickets were sold daily for this year's U.S. Open that was June 13-16 at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pa., while about 42,500 will be available for 2014, Jones said.
The U.S. Open championship rounds have sold out for 27 straight years, he said.
This year's U.S. Women's Open is Thursday through Sunday at Sebonack Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y.
"These are really some high-volume weeks for us," Jones said. "It's a really consistent flow through the summer."
Jones said he expects tickets for some individual days will sell out before the end of the summer. Package deals for both tournaments might sell out sooner, he said.
Individual tickets for the U.S. Open start at $60 for practice rounds and $120 for tournament rounds. Tickets to the U.S. Women's Open start at $30 for individual days.
Weekly tickets start at $475 for the U.S. Open and $125 for the U.S. Women's Open. Packages for both tournaments, which include VIP parking, start at $550.
Jones said tickets might be available later through the "third-party market" but the prices are usually higher than face value.
"In Pennsylvania, for people who waited later, it got to be pretty expensive," he said.
Ticket sales for 2014 cannot be compared to the 2005 U.S. Open in Pinehurst because the USGA used a random drawing system for tickets then, Jones said.
About 325,000 people attended the 2005 U.S. Open.
"It's still our record as far as attendance goes," Jones said.
All corporate hospitality packages in the Pinehurst Resort Clubhouse and about 80 percent of the corporate hospitality tents for next year have been sold, he said. Hospitality tables, which generally sell closer to the tournament, are still available, he said.
Jones said USGA staff members planning next year's tournaments will hold their first major meeting about 2014 today. Many of them have ties to Pinehurst, where Jones' office is located.
"This is one our team has been looking forward to for a long time," he said.

Poll: Best car from Paris
With a mix of new models and concept cars at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, automakers showed off some fine sleds. We found a lot of cars we wanted to jump in and drive away right there on the show floor. Being a European show, names such as Jaguar, Lotus, Audi, and BMW stood center stage with drool-worthy vehicles.
Some of the cars touched an aesthetic nerve, works of automotive sculpture such as the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento. The Ford Focus ST looked like affordable fun, and had us eager for the U.S. launch. While the Jaguar C-X75 tweaked our … Read more

If the Titans need a touchdown they need to pitch the ball to CJ once the secondary pulls up to stop the run all he has to do is lob the ball over the last defender. All the teams are doing everything they can to stop him that the wide receivers have to be wide open. There is nothing worse to a defense then the thought of CJ turning the corner. They have to pull everybody up. Just a random thought I know.

The term "heroic virtues", we are told, has a purely spiritual meaning and does not constitute an opinion about temporal issues. However, I doubt if this is how it is understood [by ordinary people]. We are what we do and the hero who today is pronounced "venerable", possibly "blessed" tomorrow, is seen as a compass showing the way for the faithful through the uncertainties of their existence, when faith is needed to orient their actions. All the more so if the said hero has lived through dramatic times. Consequently, are Pius XII's choices - while the extermination of the Jews was taking place (and about which the papal nuncio to Slovakia, at the very least, had informed him in March 1942) – a model to be followed?
There were quite a number of Jews who in the immediate post-war period thanked Pius XII for his action. Mention is often made of a delegation of survivors in the Vatican in 1946, of a cheque given by the World Jewish Congress, of a statement by Golda Meir in 1958, of the book by Pinchas Lapide, Israel's Consul in Milan and the more recent publication by Rabbi Dalin from New York. Mention is often made of the conversion of the Rabbi of Rome, Israel (later Eugenio) Zelli, which was in fact a consequence of his rejection by the community after the war because of his cowardice.
Such praise often takes for granted that the unforgettable help given to Jews by members of the Roman Catholic Church in Europe was the consequence of secret instructions coming from the Pope. This however was not the case in general, even though some priests and nuns thought it was so; in fact, the direct involvement of Pius XII in the rescue networks, such as the network of Roman monasteries organised by the admirable Father Marie Benoit, is still being debated. For Cardinal Palazzini, a Righteous among the Nations and Vice-Rector of the Pontifical Seminary in Rome at the time, it was fundamental, but for others it was merely likely and "implicit". Hence the often repeated need to open up the Vatican archives.
There is no doubt, contrary to a sinister legend, that Pius XII opposed the Nazi doctrine of racial inequality, so contrary to the very foundations of Christianity. He expressed it in particular in the encyclical "Mit brennende Sorge" that he wrote and which was published under the pontificate of his predecessor Pius XI and read out in Germany's Catholic churches.
However, in this encyclical, as in all his public statements, the word "Jew" itself does appear. There is a terrible parallel between the effacing of this name and the annihilation of the human beings who bore it. Saying nothing said something. And for a Pope, whose only power is the word, to say is to do, and to say nothing was a decision to do nothing. How is it possible to call the faithful to disobedience and risk their lives purely on the basis of subtle allusions? The name Jew was damned. It's possible that pronouncing it would have increased the Nazi fury and added to the danger faced by converted Jews (as happened to Edith Stein in the Netherlands, following the declaration of Dutch bishops) and possibly the Catholic Church itself. Indeed. But Pius XII had the example of his friend von Galen, Bishop of Munster, who with just his voice obliged the regime to suspend its euthanasia programme (even if today we know it was only a transitory measure).
The truth, it seems to me, is that the extermination of the Jews was, in the Pope's mental universe, no more than a regrettable, but secondary, event. His concern was first and foremost to not insult the future, to think about the survival of the Church in a world that was going to be dominated by Nazism or threatened by communism. There was no question of removing Orsenigo, the papal nuncio in Berlin, who had shown himself so accommodating toward Hitler. The Pope had to remain an "impartial" diplomat (impartial between the Jews and the Nazis?).
And once the war had been won by the Allies, the primary concern was for the Church to recover its former glory, allergic to introspection. The Holocaust did not lead Pius XII to change the teaching of contempt, nor to publish the slightest moral or doctrinal text on the Jews. We had to wait for his successors.
A journalist asked me why I was surprised that the Pope during the war had not favoured first and foremost the safety of his own people, the Catholics. I answered that I had naively thought that, faced with a universal crime, there was a need for a universal response, the word of a prophet. Are not the courage of a word of testimony and strength and spiritual insight far more "heroic" virtues than those of managing power play?

Men are bigger tightwads than women; younger people are more likely to be spendthrifts than older people; and the more educated a person is, the more likely he or she is to be a tightwad.
While "tightwad" and "spendthrift" are not exactly labels that most people would welcome in a discussion of their spending habits, they are valuable as predictors of consumer behavior. Indeed, three researchers recently came up with a scale to determine the extent to which people are tightwads or spendthrifts -- and what the implications are for retailers trying to more accurately target potential buyers in their stores and on their websites.
Scott I. Rick, a visiting professor of operations and information management at Wharton -- along with Cynthia E. Cryder, a doctoral student, and George Loewenstein, a professor of economics and psychology, both at Carnegie Mellon University -- have developed a spendthrift-tightwad (ST-TW) scale that measures "individual differences in the pain of paying." The researchers do this indirectly: Rather than asking respondents to comment on "the emotion they experience while shopping," which they may only have limited conscious awareness of, the respondents are asked to "indicate the extent to which their typical spending habits diverge from their desired spending habits." The results of this research are in a paper titled, "Tightwads and Spendthrifts," which will appear in a forthcoming issue of the Journal of Consumer Research.
According to the researchers, tightwads are defined as people "who feel intense pain at the prospect of spending money, and therefore tend to spend less than they would ideally like to spend." Spendthrifts "feel insufficient amounts of pain at the prospect of spending and therefore tend to spend more than they would ideally like to spend."
The scale is based on four questions that were posed to 13,327 respondents over a 31-month period ending in 2007. The respondents came from four groups: students at Carnegie Mellon or the University of Pittsburgh, parents of students, and staff members; readers of the New York Times; viewers of a nightly news broadcast in Philadelphia; and readers of Canada's The Globe and Mail newspaper. Many of the respondents participated in the survey through links included in news articles on related research by Rick and Loewenstein.
The questions, which were taken from an unpublished questionnaire developed a decade ago, asked participants to rank themselves as tightwads or spendthrifts on a scale of 1 to 11, to indicate the frequency with which they engage in certain spending behaviors, and to judge which of two hypothetical shoppers (a tightwad and a spendthrift) more closely resembles their own shopping behavior.
Responses were divided into three groups: tightwads, spendthrifts and a middle group called "unconflicted" consumers, those people who experience "a moderate amount of pain during the spending process and thus tend to spend about what they want to spend," says Rick.
"One of our major findings is that even though you hear a lot about overspending and undersaving, we found that tightwads overall outnumber spendthrifts by a ratio of 3 to 2," says Rick. "It did vary by samples, however. New York Times readers were very tight, but spendthrifts outnumbered tightwads in the Philadelphia sample, which is possibly more representative of the country as a whole." (The "unconflicted" group was the biggest of the three -- 60% of the respondents -- but was not the focus of this research.) In addition to their observations about spending behavior related to gender, age and education level, the researchers note that tightwads in college "tend to select into more mathematical majors, like computer science and engineering."
Rick suggests that companies pay attention to the spendthrift vs. tightwad distinction as a way to better understand who their customers are. "For example, it could help stores determine which of their customers will be more sensitive to sales and/or to marketing schemes, or which customers are most likely to put items in their shopping cart online, but then not bother to check out. Our paper presents a scale that can diagnose those tendencies. The four questions can be easily administered online or even in stores as people are entering and leaving."
Generally speaking, Rick adds, tightwads are more sensitive to price while spendthrifts are more sensitive to attributes of the products themselves "and to how much pleasure they will get out of buying them. With tightwads, a store might want to emphasize how painless it is to pay for the product."
Massages and Overnight Delivery Fees
As part of their research, the three authors conducted an experiment in which they framed the hypothetical fee charged to ship a product overnight in two different ways. Over a five-month period, 538 students were told that in exchange for completing a survey for Amazon.com, they could receive their choice of one of four DVD box sets. The set would be shipped, at no cost, within four weeks. A subset of the students were asked whether they would be willing to pay a "$5 fee" to receive the box set by overnight delivery, while other students were asked if they would be willing to pay a "small $5 fee" for overnight delivery. The researchers found that tightwads responded much more directly to the "small fee" -- they were 20% more likely to pay the "small $5 fee" than the "$5 fee" -- while spendthrifts were completely insensitive to how the fee was framed, and instead focused on how pleasurable it would be to get the product.
In a second experiment, the researchers varied whether a hypothetical massage priced at $100 was framed as necessary to relieve back pain (utilitarian) or desired because it would be pleasurable (hedonic). Among the researchers' observations: Participants in the utilitarian condition found paying for the massage significantly less painful than did participants in the hedonic condition; tightwads found paying for either massage significantly more painful than spendthrifts; and overall, tightwads were significantly less willing than spendthrifts to buy a massage. This final difference, however, depended on how the massage was framed: Spendthrifts were 26% more likely than tightwads to buy the hedonic massage, but only 9% more likely to buy the utilitarian massage.
Both the $5 fee study and the massage study support the researchers' hypothesis that spending differences between tightwads and spendthrifts will be smallest when situational factors -- such as the way a fee is framed, or whether or not something is described as an investment -- diminish the pain of paying. In other words, says Rick, when the situation makes spending painless or less painful, tightwads and spendthrifts start to look similar, "but if you start cranking up the pain, then you start to see big differences between tightwads and spendthrifts."
The implications for retailers, Rick says, is that despite talk of overspending and undersaving, "there is a surprisingly large portion of people -- tightwads -- who have the opposite problem, i.e., not spending enough. They are generally spending less than they want to. This is obviously a big market that retailers should explore. We have found ways in this paper to make tightwads behave like spendthrifts -- by for example, adding the word 'small' to a fee, or by taking a massage and framing it as an investment rather than as a recreational activity." Retailers, he adds, should focus on approaches that would mitigate the pain of prices. "By doing this, they attract tightwads, but also they don't push away spendthrifts. This is because spendthrifts don't care so much about the pricing, but focus instead on the pleasure."
Retailers should also try to find a way to analyze consumers, whether it is by administering the survey or looking for something else in their behavior that is predictive of the type of purchaser they are, Rick says. "We know that surveys aren't always possible to do. Certain click patterns may be particularly diagnostic of the pain of paying. Do tightwads abandon filled-up shopping carts? Do they sort by price instead of attributes? When shopping for airline tickets, do consumers indicate whether price or more hedonic concerns (e.g., number of stops, departure/arrival times, type of seat) are a priority? Such information could serve as a valuable proxy for one's ST-TW score."
If companies can "customize their advertising based on what they know about their consumers," it would help them spend their marketing dollars more wisely, Rick adds. "Spendthrifts don't focus on the spending side of the equation but instead on how wonderful they will feel when they buy this product. I have noticed this on television. Commercials that focus on the attributes of the product -- or how you will feel while consuming it -- but don't mention its price, likely appeal most to spendthrifts, whether that is the intent of the advertiser or not. Commercials that emphasize low prices and savings likely appeal most to tightwads. Such commercials are probably not all that appealing to spendthrifts."
Rick also notes that additional research he has done looks at spending by category. "Different categories are more and less painful. Clothes are very painful for a lot of people to spend money on, as are things that are consumable, such as taxi cab rides and restaurant meals. People ask themselves what they are getting for their money, since once they eat a meal or are driven to their destination, there is nothing more to consume. In these categories, you tend to see spendthrifts and tightwads spending very differently. But with items that are more investment-oriented, like a home or car or washing machine, the two groups tend to be closer together."
Painless Ways to Pay
The researchers looked into whether spendthrifts generally outspend tightwads by asking respondents to report their total savings and current level of credit card debt. Among their findings: Tightwads are about as likely as spendthrifts to abstain from using credit. Among credit users, however, spendthrifts are three times more likely than tightwads to carry debt. Spendthrifts are not only more likely to be in debt, but they also carry more debt. The researchers also examined savings. Among their findings: Spendthrifts are more than twice as likely as tightwads to have less than $10,000 in savings. Tightwads are more than twice as likely as spendthrifts to have more than $250,000 in savings.
In addition, the researchers found that these differences could not be explained by differences in income. The income distribution among tightwads is very similar to the income distribution among spendthrifts, suggesting the observed differences in savings and debt are primarily attributable to different spending habits.
The authors also note that the existence of "so many people in our sample of more than 13,000 who experience the pain of paying intensely is counterintuitive given the incredibly low rates of saving in the U.S. How can the two phenomena be reconciled?" They offer three possibilities: One is that their samples are not representative of the population. Another is that it "is simply difficult for many people to make ends meet, given uninsured health problems, the high cost of child care, dental work, transportation and other routine expenses." The third is that, although many tightwads feel more pain than they would like, far fewer experience as much pain as they would need to experience to ensure sufficient savings.
Finally, another explanation "for the coexistence of widespread undersaving and tightwaddism could be that many retail environments provide increasingly painless ways to pay. Paying with credit, for example, can now be done with a single mouse click or a single tap of a key fob." Payment modes that diminish the pain of paying likely produce effects similar to the "small" $5 fee, namely making tightwads behave as spendthrifts and encouraging undersaving.
Frugal People vs. Tightwads
The existing research in this area includes a number of scales, although none that distinguish tightwads from spendthrifts, Rick says. "The concept our scale is most closely related to is frugality, but it is also distinct from it: If you are a tightwad, you don't spend because you find the prospect of spending painful. But if you are frugal, you don't spend because you enjoy saving. Frugal people really love to save."
The researchers also found that happiness is positively related to frugality, although this observation is not included in the paper. "The more frugal you are, the happier you are. With the tightwad scale, tightwads and spendthrifts are equally happy. But the ones in the middle -- who are neither tightwads nor spendthrifts -- are the happiest. Why? Tightwads are frustrated because they aren't spending enough on things that would make them happy. Spendthrifts are spending too much, more than they want to, so that makes them unhappy. If you are in the middle, you don't have this strong inner conflict."

NEW YORK — Community-based healthcare models, and the nurse practitioners who work within them, are particularly helpful in assisting diabetes patients with such underlying health conditions as depression, according to a recent study published on Nurse.com.
The findings are from a study conducted by Kathleen Falk, nursing professor at New York City College of Technology. Falk, the chairwoman of the "Adult Day Health Council Research Collaborative Diabetes Management Study," observed 104 participants from 10 adult day healthcare centers in the state of New York.
"In a hospital, the nurses do everything for people living with diabetes," Falk was quoted as saying. "But when such clients go home, they can become overwhelmed with the complexity of their own care. Self-management involves needles, medications, insulin, blood sugar checks, dietary changes and many follow-up appointments. Many people can't handle that, especially those who are depressed."
Falk noted, according to the report, that nurses working in the centers were particularly helpful in the study's care model, and are judicious in identifying symptoms of depression, which is the first step in effective treatment.
Falk used data from A1C blood tests, blood pressure screenings and cholesterol screenings as a reference point, and led a team of other nurse case managers, dietitians, physical therapists, social workers and endocrinologists. The team established individual care plans for survey participants and provided podiatry, dental and eye exams, the report stated.
At least 60% of patients, including those with cognitive impairment or depression, showed a statistically significant decrease in A1C levels at each three-month assessment point, the report stated. About 25% worsened.

The CW's beyond-generic The Tomorrow People feels like yesterday's news — and not just because it's adapted from a '70s British sci-fi series. Turns out this isn't as durable a property as Doctor Who, or maybe the reboot is just that bad. Cut from the same angsty pattern of so many CW supernatural shows, Tomorrow (Wednesday, 9/8c) offers up a duller than usual gaggle of pretty, overripe CW teens-in-their-20s with superpowers. The "Tomorrow People," we learn in an endless prattle of exposition, are a cluster of genetic mutations whose special gifts emerge upon adolescence. Forget pimples. This subculture specializes in the "three T's": teleportation, telepathy, telekinesis. They forgot "tired," "tepid" and "too too derivative," which much better describes the experience of meeting these lost kids.

Alex Collins got to enjoy National Signing Day just one day later.
With his father, Johnny, his aunt, Loretta, and his grandmother, Betty, by his side, the South Plantation star running back signed a national letter of intent to attend the University of Arkansas on Thursday afternoon. The school received his fax and announced it.
His mother, who ran off without signing those same papers Wednesday at a scheduled signing day event at his school, wasnt at the private event held Thursday at Bokampers Sports Bar and Grill in Plantation. Instead, she hired attorney Jack Paris of The Cochran Firm South Florida, according to a news release, to represent the familys interests while she contemplates where her son should decide to play football.
But Collins didnt need his mothers blessing. He got his father to sign the letter of intent. NCAA rules require prospects under the age of 21 to have a parent or legal guardian sign the letter of intent in order for it to be considered valid. South Plantation athletic director Mike Collins said the NCAA would accept the signed letter of intent because Johnny Collins Jr. is Collins biological father and is listed on his birth certificate.
Im happy. Im excited. Im happy its over, said Alex Collins, who was rated the nations No. 1 all-purpose running back by 247Sports.com and had announced he was picking Arkansas on a cable show Monday night.
I didnt think about going anywhere else because I had my mind set. This is where I wanted to go. I talked to Mom and let her know. I explained myself, and we got a better understanding.
Collins, dressed in camouflage and wearing a camouflage tie, said he didnt know his mother, Andrea McDonald, had hired a lawyer. He said it was his understanding she was supporting him based on a conversation he had with her before heading to Bokampers to sign his letter of intent.
The last conversation was basically about why I chose Arkansas and why I felt the love at Arkansas. She understood and supported me behind it, Collins said. She always supported me, its just the fact from her standpoint she wants to make sure this is the right decision for me and Im not just picking a school and not understanding what Im getting into. Im leaving the state and Im going to be a four-to-five hours plane ride away and she just wants to make sure this is what I really want to do.
McDonald, though, apparently isnt as supportive of Collins decision as he thinks. A few hours after Collins party cleared out at Bokampers, the law firm hired by McDonald released the following statement: Ms. McDonald understands that Alex has received consent from his father who has signed the letter-of-intent for him to play football for the University of Arkansas. However, our clients initial intentions remain unchanged.
She is a loving and caring mother who only wants her son to choose a university without any outside and inappropriate influences. Ms. McDonald hopes all NCAA rules and regulations were followed during todays signing. She is not seeking any personal financial gain because her only concern is for Alexs happiness and well being. The Cochran Firm is standing by Ms. McDonald in this difficult time and has made all of the firms resources available to her as she explores her options.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is being released by EurAlfabet™:
A unique font designed to aid universal comprehension of all alphabets used in Europe is now available. Intended to give readers of different alphabets phonetic access to previously indecipherable script, "EurAlfabet" is suited especially for business applications in regions where diverse alphabets are in use.
EurAlfabet (for "European Universal Recognition Alphabet") facilitates universal phonetic recognition in all European languages, including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Ukrainian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Greek – regardless of which alphabet is used. This is because EurAlfabet phonetically converts letters between the LATIN (e.g., English, French, etc.), CYRILLIC (e.g., Russian, etc.), and GREEK alphabets. All three alphabets are in official use by the European Union.
EurAlfabet is based on "visual phonetic conversion" (VPC), an original concept that corresponding letters in different alphabets can be designed to convey the same phonetic value. For example, the Latin letter "S" is written in Cyrillic as "C" and in Greek as "S" (the familiar "Sigma"). EurAlfabet provides a single letter design that is mentally "heard" by the reader as "ess," so that where an American sees an "S," a Russian looking at the same letter would see a "C." The same VPC principle is applied to all other letters in all three alphabets.
Because readers of the Cyrillic and Greek alphabets generally are more familiar with the Latin alphabet than vice versa, EurAlfabet is particularly useful in parts of Central and Eastern Europe where western speakers of English, French, German, etc., may have difficulty in recognizing the local letters. This has great functionality for electronic applications and for understanding of displays relating to –
According to its purchase license, buyers of EurAlfabet have unlimited rights to use the font in company names, logos, emblems, stationary, signs, and advertising. In addition to standard characters, EurAlfabet provides supplemental symbols, such as accented vowels, the German "Eszett" (ß), and the new sign for the Russian ruble. EurAlfabet is under trademark and design patent protection.

Robin Hahnel's response to Wayne Price's article "Anarchist Economics, Marxist Economics, and Pareconist Economics". A Reply to "Anarchist Economics, Marxist Economics, and Pareconist Economics."
In his review of three essays by supporters of participatory economics published in The Accumulation of Freedom: Writings on Anarchist Economics Wayne Price distinguishes between the nature of capitalism, how best to go about overthrowing capitalism, and how best to organize a desirable post-capitalist economy. On the third issue other than some methodological quibbling -- he offers no substantive criticism of the model of a participatory economy originally developed by Michael Albert and myself. One can even read his own essay on that subject in The Accumulation of Freedom as mildly complimentary toward our attempt to make the left libertarian alternative to capitalism more concrete and therefore more compelling. Price is correct, however, that we disagree about the nature of capitalism as well as what we are going to have to do to overthrow it. Comments (2 of 2)
by Wayne Price Tue Jul 10, 2012 08:12
Robin Hahnel is correct that my current essay does not talk about "how best to organize a desirable post-capitalist economy." It said so. And it did not criticize "the model of a 'participatory economy' " which he and Michael Albert had first developed, and that I have been "mildly complimentaryi" about their effort to develop this model. Our disagreement, as he writes (and I had explained) is "about the nature of capitalism as well as what we are going to have to do to overthrow it."

When the hit comedy "One Man, Two Guvnors" comes to Broadway this spring, I'll be able to say I saw the London production. I also saw the Metropolitan Opera's new production of "Don Giovanni" with the Polish tenor Mariusz Kwiecien. As for bragging rights, it's hard to match having seen David Hallberg's debut with the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow in "Sleeping Beauty."All this, without ever leaving Los Angeles.

Chicken melt sandwich
Start to finish: 5 to 10 minutes, all active time.
One small can of chicken, drained
Three slices of mild cheddar cheese
Two slices of sourdough bread
1 tablespoon of ranch dressing
Three or four slices of bacon, cooked (optional)
Butter one side of two pieces of bread.
Heat the chicken in the microwave for 30 seconds.
Lay one slice of bread butter-side down in a pan heated medium to high.
Place the cheese on the bread.
Add the chicken.
Add the ranch dressing.
Add bacon, if desired.
Top with the other slice of bread with the butter-side facing up.
Grill until the cheese is melted and the bread is browned on both sides.
Tip: Use one chicken breast, cooked and chopped into small pieces instead of the canned chicken. The canned chicken comes in handy when you are in a hurry or you don't want to bother with cooking the chicken.

Ms. Kron was stabbed numerous times, in and around the desk area-- it appeared as though it was a violent struggle.
Det. Kelly Anderson says there was no DNA back then, and when the cold case unit was formed in 2007, the original detective who investigated the Kron murder told them this would be a good case for DNA testing.
The detectives were shrewd enough even back in 1974 to collect a great amount of evidence in this case.
Det. Anderson says there was a suspect in the case but no one was ever charged.
Not enough probable cause was ever developed to effect an arrest on this particular individual.
Then, 33 years later in 2007, DNA testing came up with a partial male profile. But it wasn't enough to run thru the national data base.
The amount of dna that was collected and developed in 2007 might yield a better profile today.

[Beowulf] Intel microcode updates for "erratum" - "an incorrect instruction stream may be executed"

Hi all, I see that Intel has noted an "erratum", which it says may lead to "an incorrect instruction stream may be executed". The erratum has shown up on the latest specification update documents, and seems to affect recent P4s (stepping D1/M0 - versions 0x0f25, 0x0f29), P4 Celerons (stepping D1 - 0x0f29), P4 Xeons (all 400/533MHz bus CPUs, I think), and some recent XeonMPs (stepping B0/C0 - 0x0f25, 0x0f26). ref: http://developer.intel.com/design/xeon/documentation.htm#updates I was wondering if anyone running large clusters had seen any problems attributable to this bug - and whether people with heavy vendor support had been given any advice about it - particularly how often the problem is likely to occur? I've noticed that IBM, and HP have released BIOSs for some machines, which includes new microcode to fix this erratum.. The erratum text follows: > Problem: A Timing Marginality in the Instruction Decoder Unit May > Cause an Unpredictable Application Behavior and/or System Hang > > A timing marginality may exist in the clocking of the instruction > decoder unit which leads to a circuit slowdown in the read path from > the Instruction Decode PLA circuit. This timing marginality may not be > visible for some period of time. > > Implication: When this erratum occurs, an incorrect instruction stream > may be executed resulting in an unpredictable application behavior > and/or system hang > > Workaround: It is possible for the BIOS to contain a workaround for > this erratum. BIOS must load the microcode update during the BIOS POST > time prior to memory initialization. Status: For the steppings > affected, see the Summary Table of Changes. The "cpuid" utility - http://www.ka9q.net/code/cpuid/ - will tell you which version your CPU is, and there is an Intel Microcode update utility for Linux: http://www.urbanmyth.org/microcode/ which can be used to load new microcode from user space, but it doesn't appear to have the latest microcode yet - although it's difficult to tell given Intel's lack of changelog/release notes for the microcode files - running the latest microcode.ctl on an IBM machine which has the fixed BIOS says: microcode: CPU0 not 'upgrading' to earlier revision 0x17 (current=0x21) microcode: No suitable data for cpu 0 Intel's erratum text says "BIOS must load the microcode update during the BIOS POST time prior to memory initialization" - but whether that means "this is the general policy for microcode updates", or "this is necessary to fix this particular erratum" is not clear, but hopefully, it is the former... Tim.
