Index of Memorial Resolutions and Biographical Sketches
View in portable document format.
Dr. Clarke Adams Burnham died peacefully at home on March 12, 2009. At the time of his death he was an associate professor emeritus in the Department of Psychology. Clarke had been responding well to multiple rounds of treatment for lung cancer and was active physically and mentally to the end.<signed>
Clarke was 71 when he died, having been born September 24, 1937. He was the eldest of six children born to Constance Mary Burnham and Ralph Adams Burnham. Clarke was raised in Watertown and Lexington, Massachusetts, where his father was an officer in a bank, and he spent his high school years at Philips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. The story is that Lexington High School was too easy for Clarke; he got an interview for entrance to Philips Exeter but was told there were no places available for the upcoming fall. Then they saw his score on their admissions test and space quickly became available. He was happier at Exeter than at Lexington High, although the socio-economic gap between him and many of the other students was sometimes uncomfortable.
Clarke began college at Harvard, quit to join the Army for two years where he served in Germany, got married to Lucy Eayrs, a 1960 graduate of Radcliffe, and then returned to Harvard to graduate Magna Cum Laude in the Department of Social Relations in 1961. For doctoral work, Clarke went to Stanford from 1961-65. He was a Woodrow Wilson Fellow for 1961-62 and held a predoctoral fellowship from the National Institute for Mental Health for 1962-65. Interestingly, two of his siblings also became academics: brother Scott is a professor of law at the University of Montana, and sister Abigail teaches English literature at Hunter College.
Clarke was rather a hot property when he was hired as an assistant professor of psychology at UT in 1965. For his dissertation at Stanford, Clarke worked with Leon Festinger, a highly influential and highly visible social psychologist, who was moving his research interests toward perception. Clarke was the first of Festinger's "new wave," and he came highly recommended by the Stanford faculty. Clarke's interest was in efference, which is the issue of how the brain knows which sensory experiences are consequences of actions initiated by the person and which experiences come from the outside world. His dissertation was entitled Motor Efference and Visual Adaptation. While interviewing for the job in Austin, he already had an offer from the University of California at Riverside.
Clarke and Lucy arrived in Austin in 1965 with son Ralph on hip, Thomas was born in December of that year, and Scott arrived in 1967. Clarke began teaching courses in perception, experimental psychology, and statistics and set up his lab to continue his research on sensory-motor integration in the brain. He published half a dozen research papers in his first half-decade at UT, and he was promoted to associate professor in 1970. Then, tragically, Lucy died of a brain tumor in 1975, leaving Clarke with three young boys. He threw himself fully into being a single parent, and according to the boys, he did a characteristically excellent job, which included becoming skilled in the kitchen. In 1976, Clarke met and married Joan Gibson Mandel, and with her sons, Adam and Jeremy, they created a merged family of five boys under the age of 13. Lesser parents might have collapsed under that load, but Clarke and Joan came to thrive on the controlled chaos of their home. Both of them were fully involved in the upbringing of their children, and they were extremely proud of the lives and families each of the boys built. One of Clarke's commitments was serving as Cub Scout leader for each of the boys in succession. Along the way, Joan found time to complete her doctorate in educational administration from UT, and Clarke found time to collaborate with Michael Benedikt from the School of Architecture on a three-year research grant from the National Science Foundation on perceiving and describing space in architectural contexts. This work was an example of Clarke's emerging interest in environmental psychology.
During World War I, Clarke's maternal grandfather spent time on Birch Island in Casco Bay, Maine, and loved the region so much that he built a cottage on the island. As a child, Clarke spent time nearly every summer at Birch Island, and later he took his own family along on the annual visits to the Burnham family cottage. Often the treks to and from the cottage included sightseeing and camping along the way. Birch Island kept Clarke connected to New England, and indeed he possessed the stereotypical New England characteristics: he was quiet, competent, efficient, and frugal.
As an example of his competence, Clarke's carpentry and home-maintenance skills were well known. He single handedly executed numerous major renovation projects, and at the end, he and Joan were supervising a major renovation of the kitchen, which they had planned and designed. He liked to talk about how nicely molding can cover calculational errors, but in fact there were very few errors for his molding to hide.
As one example of his frugalness, when he was negotiating with the chairman of psychology, Gardner Lindzey, about the open position at UT, Clarke requested start-up funds totaling $2,100 ($1,500 for lab expenses and $600 for subject money). This was well before the time of the substantial start-up packages now routinely provided for new assistant professors, but even for its time the request was so modest that The University gave him $4,000 instead.
Upon first meeting him, some people could perceive Clarke as stern, but it rapidly became clear—especially if you were in need of help—that he was exceedingly warm, perpetually upbeat, optimistic, and eager to solve a problem. The kindness, gentleness, and patience his children remember so clearly were characteristics others encountered as well. He had a wonderful deep voice, a hearty, ready laugh, an infectious smile, and always an eagerness to talk about new research findings and how they related to previous findings and beliefs. His breadth and depth of knowledge about psychology were truly impressive. Among Clarke's major contributions were his service to the Department of Psychology as both undergraduate and graduate advisor and his service to the University as chairman of the Institutional Review Board (IRB), which is responsible for overseeing all research on campus involving human subjects. During his time as undergraduate advisor (1972-78), the psychology department had about 1,000 undergraduate majors, and academic advising was not supported by special student fees, so Clarke had only one staff assistant. Undeterred by this lack of support, Clarke put in long hours and personally talked daily with a steady stream of students needing help and advice. Over the years, he helped thousands of students get educated in and graduate in psychology. By comparison, the number of undergraduate majors in psychology today is about 1,600, but they are advised by four full-time professional academic advisors.
Following this yeoman service as undergraduate advisor, Clarke served as graduate advisor for more than two decades (1982-2005), during which time he helped more than 330 students obtain doctoral degrees in Psychology. In spring 2000, he was named Outstanding Graduate Advisor by the College of Liberal Arts. Every graduate student who came through the psychology program during that time got to know Clarke Burnham, and they learned to rely on him when they inevitably needed help with the numerous administrative and other complications of life in graduate school. He was especially sensitive to the financial needs of graduate students and worked hard to find financial support for as many as possible. Each semester, he was in charge of matching graduate students requesting teaching assistantships with faculty members teaching undergraduate classes–a job requiring equal measures of Job and Solomon–and typically both parties were satisfied. Clarke had high standards and did not coddle poor students, but he did make sure that good students were not tripped up during their graduate careers by administrative or personality conflicts. He was especially adept at advising students about which faculty members to invite to serve on their dissertation committees; many students thereby avoided potential conflicts of opinion that could have slowed their progress. A fringe benefit to Clarke of being so deeply involved in the graduate program was the opportunity to stay current on a wide array of research topics in psychology. He personally chaired 10 doctoral committees and served on 31 others.
While still working as graduate advisor, Clarke became chairman of the IRB in 1996 after having served as a member of that committee for three years. From 1996 until he retired in 2005, he helped faculty and students from all across the University with the approximately 10,000 research projects that passed through the IRB. It is easy indeed to hear a Burnham story from nearly every long-term investigator on campus who has dealt with the IRB. Clarke had an impatience with bureaucracy that made him an ideal administrator. He was a vigorous advocate for principal investigators and students having technical problems with the system; he always had a solution, often an ingenious one, and never one that compromised principles or ignored the rights of the human subjects. He was devoted to common-sense solutions for bureaucratic problems.
Clarke retired in the summer of 2005 after 40 years at the University; he was named to emeritus status beginning with the fall semester of 2005. He continued to pursue his various interests by doing some ad hoc work for the IRB, creating an on-line course on elementary statistics for the University's extension center, doing a number of repairs and renovations at home, and tending to his verdant garden. He continued to enjoy talking with faculty and students about their recent research findings and often was able to provide an historical perspective unknown to that investigator. Clarke and Joan visited family members across the country and took an extended trip to Europe in spring 2008. At what would prove to be his last Christmas celebration, Clarke and Joan cooked and served an entire meal for more than two dozen members of their beloved extended family. The pecan pie and gingerbread cookies were from Clarke's grandmother's recipes.
Clarke Burnham long will be remembered as a scholar, colleague, mentor, gentleman, and family man. He truly was a good guy who will be sorely missed.

Have not found any discussion on this matter, as, probably, for onsite inhouse (or within local admin control) ZCS installations this might be not necessary. But anyway...
We are planning to evolve our server administration and customer support services for our customers (as a small ISP) and I was bothering about our customers' data security. For sure, we are planning several layers of access, including administration of ZCS servers and customer accounts. But for now, I have not found any reasonable solution to prevent ZCS server administrators to access our customers' data in mailboxes.
What might be considered as a good practice to limit or control such access? Our potential customers often ask this question. For now, I do not have any specific answer, rather relying on trust, long term business targets, etc. Can anybody share their thoughts or solutions for that?
The one, that comes in my mind, is artificially limit such admin's access via controlling log files and providing decent support system - e.g. no admin access to user accounts should happen, if no relevant support ticket is issued or in progress. But still this might be a fight after bad things happen. As well, how to limit permissions or accessibility for senior/junior admins, as senior might be the most trusted ones (again trust).
Another - letting somebody to administer ZCS from CLI only, by not letting access to admin interface, but this might be a partial solution, and has to be controlled outside Zimbra stack.
What are good practices at your place, guys, dealing with multi-domain customers?

Penn President Available to Comment on the Solomon Amendment and Military Recruiting on Campus
Sept. 27, 2005
Amy Gutmann, president of the University of Pennsylvania, is available to comment on the decade-old Solomon Amendment, which now requires private universities to offer to military recruiters access identical to that offered to other recruiters or risk losing federal funds.
"The Solomon Amendment is a direct intrusion on the academic freedom of universities, particularly research universities that depend upon federal research dollars. Private universities are critical to scientific research in America, including research aimed at improving our nation defense and military preparedness. The federal government contention that a private university that does not wish to be bound by a funding condition is free to decline federal assistance is a ake it or leave itattitude that threatens the fundamental First Amendment protections and core values of academia."
Note to TV producers and assignment editors: The University of Pennsylvania has an on-campus television studio with satellite uplink, live-shot capability for interviews with Penn experts.

IRS Hands Out $14 Billion For Green Energy, But Doesn't Keep Track Of It
The Daily Caller is reporting that the IRS has handed out billions of dollars to support Barack Obama's green energy projects. You know, those one's like those unsuccessful and bankrupt companies like Solyndra. And it gets worse, if possible. The IRS is not tracking the money to see how it was being spent. ARE YOU KIDDING, WHEN WILL THIS ALL STOP!!! The IRS, the organization who makes people's lives miserable for not properly tracking their income, does not have to do the same with tax payer dollars? Talk about the ultimate in hypocrisy. Honestly, the IRS really does need to be abolished and converted into an entity that just counts the tax revenue sent in by Americans from a flat or fair tax and no longer allowed to harass or divvy out monies at the bequest of a president.
A new government watchdog report found that the Internal Revenue service has handed out billions of dollars to support green energy projects, and then failed to mention how the money was spent on building new power generation.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports that IRS tax subsidies to green energy operators "accounted for an estimated $13.7 billion in forgone revenue to the federal government for renewable projects and $1.4 billion for traditional projects" between 2004 and 2013.
That's a lot of money, but the IRS can't (or won't) tell government auditors how much green energy generating capacity their tax subsidies are supporting. The GAO says the IRS "is not required to collect project level data from all taxpayers" who claim an Investment Tax Credit (ITC) or Production Tax Credit (PTC).
"IRS officials stated that IRS is unlikely to collect additional data on these tax credits unless it is directed to do so," the GAO reported. "Since 1994, GAO has encouraged greater scrutiny of tax expenditures, including data collection. Without project-level data on the ITC and PTC, Congress cannot evaluate their effectiveness as it considers whether to reauthorize or extend them."

President Barack Obama, A Man of the People in His Rancho Mirage, $4.25 Million, Gated Community Future Home
Rancho Mirage, California … Obama may be coming to town, there goes the neighborhood.
Rumor has it that Barack and Michelle Obama are buying a home in Rancho Mirage, CA for $4.5 million. Hmm, so is this the reason why Obama continued to tank the economy and not to get the US out of a recession so that he could buy a home after his president days in Rancho Mirage $4.25 million, when 8 years ago the same home went for 12.5 million? Oh yes, Obama is just a man of the people. When is the Left going to understand that Barack Obama is a 1%'er. He would rather be in Martha's Vineyard than mingling with the blue collar riff-raff. The White House says the "rumors" about the home are not true. Which means that they are 100% true because the Obama WH is the most lying, dishonest and corrupt one that this country has sadly ever seen.
Just curious, who thinks it is fair that under Obama millions of people lost their jobs, homes and business and he gets to buy a home like this after increasing the national debt to historic levels? Hmm, wonder what the carbon footprint is on this home?
See Pics at Realtor.com by Clark Dugger Photography
President Obama and his wife, Michelle, could be the owners of a home in Rancho Mirage listed at $4.25 million before the month is out.
The First Family is believed to be in escrow on a contemporary home in a gated community where entertainers Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby once maintained estates.
The White House said rumors regarding a home in Rancho Mirage are not true.
But area real estate agents, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the Obamas are the buyers of the Rancho Mirage home. Listing agents Marc Lange and Carl Blea of HOM Sotheby's International declined to comment.
I have an idea. If the tax payers pay for the home, can Obama move there and leave the White House Now!!!

Rasmussen: 61% of Americans Support the XL Keystone Pipeline as Obama Panders to Enviro-Wackos and Delays Decision Until After 2014 Midterm Elections
A recent Rasmussen poll has support for the XL Keystone Pipeline at all time highs. Sixty-one percent of Americans now support the building of the oil pipeline from Canada to Texas, while only 27% are opposed. Also, 62% of likely voters also say that the pipeline is good for the economy. However, the anti-fossil fuel Obama would rather pander to the environmental wacko minority and continues to dither and delay the decision on the construction. Just last week Barack Obama once again delayed his decision to go forward on its construction as he pushed it back until after the 2014 midterm elections putting Democrat party politics ahead of jobs for Americans. But of course we were told that Obama's delay had nothing to do with politics from Debbie Wasserman-Schiltz. Of course not. Also reported in the poll was that 57% of voters say the pipeline is at least somewhat important to how they will vote in the next congressional election, with 23% who say it is Very Important.Democrats better be careful in 2014, there is no way that 57% are all Republicans.
I don't care what a majority of the American people think, you are stuck with me. I do not work for you.
Support for building the Keystone XL pipeline is now at its highest level ever.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 61% of Likely U.S. Voters now at least somewhat favor building the major oil pipeline from Canada to Texas, while just 27% are opposed. This includes 37% who Strongly Favor the project and 10% who Strongly Oppose it. Thirteen percent (13%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Support for building the pipeline is up four points from 57% in January and now has edged above the previous high of 60% found in November 2011 when President Obama first delayed the project for further environmental study.
It is Democrats and the MSM that always claim that the GOP panders to the radical Tea Party, Americans just might want to take a look at who Obama is taking his orders from.
Oh by the way, this weeks jobless claims jump 24,000 this week to 329,000 as Obama refuses to approve a project that would automatically create jobs in the private sector with no tax paid for stimulus.
The number of Americans filing for new unemployment benefits jumped last week, a sign layoffs have increased since touching a seven-year low earlier this month.
Initial claims for jobless benefits, a measure of layoffs, rose by 24,000 to a seasonally adjusted 329,000 in the week ended April 19, the Labor Department said Thursday. The weekly gain was the largest since December.
Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal expected 315,000 new claims last week. Claims for the prior week were revised up by 1,000 to 305,000.

DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz Says Politics Had Nothing to do With Obama's Delay of Keystone XL Pipeline Until After 2014 Midterm Elections
DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) was on 'Meet the Press' on Sunday spinning like a top. DWS told David Gregory that she does not believe that Barack Obama's decision to delay the XL Keystone pipeline had nothing to do with politics. HAH! Seriously Debbie, the fact that it is referenced that a decision will be made at the earliest after the 2014 has nothing to do with politics? Sorry, but much like everything with Obama, it has everything to do with politics. This is just another example of Barack Obama kicking the political can of issues down the road and playing partisan politics and putting Democrats ahead of Americans. We know that the Keystone XL pipline construction will create primary jobs and secondary one's from that. But that does not matter to the Food Stamp president.
DWS discusses Keystone XL Pipeline around the 4:00 mark
DWS went on to say, "It [Keyston XL pipeline] affects multiple states. What's also true is that incumbent senators like [Louisiana Democrat] Mary Landrieu understand the issues that are important on the ground in their states to their constituents." Yes, they do and they do not appear to be happy.
This woman has the nerve to talk about Tea party extremists when Democrats and Barack Obama are pandering to the far-left wing environmental wackos in delaying the XL Keystone as even Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) stated, "Today's decision by the administration amounts to nothing short of an indefinite delay of the Keystone pipeline. The decision's irresponsible, unnecessary, and unacceptable. By making it clear that they will not move the process forward until there's a resolution in a lawsuit in Nebraska, the administration is sending a signal that the small minority who oppose the pipeline can tie up the process in court forever."
DAVID GREGORY: Are you worried, as the party chair, that this shouldn't be resolved before the election because of the potential impact it could have on vulnerable Democrats?
REP. DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: As a member of Congress who represents hundreds of thousands of people in south Florida, I want to make sure that the right decision is arrived at. And that the president makes that decision carefully and he doesn't factor politics into his decision, which I don't think he is.
DAVID GREGORY: Is the issue in the fall a referendum on President Obama?
REP. DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: No, absolutely not. The–
DAVID GREGORY: It's not?
I suppose the IRS targeting the Tea Party, blaming Benghazi on a video tape and delaying employee mandates for Obamacare were not political either.
Top Obama Adviser Valerie Jarrett Admits Pushing Hollywood Writers to Obamacare into scripts of TV Shows and Movies … Joseph Goebbels Would Be So Proud
To attract people, to win over people to that which I have realized as being true, that is called propaganda.
In the beginning there is the understanding, this understanding uses propaganda as a tool to find those men, that shall turn understanding into politics.
Success is the important thing. Propaganda is not a matter for average minds, but rather a matter for practitioners. It is not supposed to be lovely or theoretically correct.
I do not care if I give wonderful, aesthetically elegant speeches, or speak so that women cry. The point of a political speech is to persuade people of what we think right. (Joseph Goebbels)
What might be most shocking about the below Valerie Jarrett interview with 'Top That' on Pop Sugar.com is that Democrats and especially the Obama Administration does not even hide it anymore that they and the media are the Democrat-Media Complex. White House adviser Valerie Jarrett was out in LA this week meeting with television and movie producers and writers to encourage them to include favorable Obamacare mentions in their scripts. ARE YOU KIDDING!!! A government going to the media to shill their agenda for script and product placement to make it appear that they are mainstream and brainwash the people with propaganda. This is still the United States, is it not?
"That's the cool thing," a host said to the presidential advisor. "You've been reaching out to people that are, you know, outside of the norm of what the president might work with. Who else are you working with? Like celebrities, personalities, things like that?"
"You name it," said Jarrett. "That's part of why I'm in L.A. I'm meeting with writers of various TV shows and movies to try to get it into the scripts." When Jarrett says "it into the scripts," she's referring to getting references to Obamacare, the president's signature legislation, into the scripts of TV shows and movies.
Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of propaganda, would be so proud of Valerie Jarrett's actions.
Control of the arts and media was not just a matter of personnel. Soon the content of every newspaper, book, novel, play, film, broadcast and concert, from the level of nationally-known publishers and orchestras to local newspapers and village choirs, was subject to supervision by the Propaganda Ministry, although a process of self-censorship was soon effectively operating in all these fields, leaving the Ministry in Berlin free to concentrate on the most politically sensitive areas such as insuring that both major newspapers, and the new far-reaching, instantaneous state radio presented the unified Nazi worldview. In his 1933 speech, "Radio as the Eighth Great Power" Goebbels said:
"We .. intend a principled transformation in the worldview of our entire society, a revolution of the greatest possible extent that will leave nothing out, changing the life of our nation in every regard …
The following are Joseph Goebbels' quotes. It would be pretty difficult to tell whether they were from the Nazi minister of propaganda, or Team Obama:
- "Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play." (Joseph Goebbels)
- "It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion." (Joseph Goebbels)
Tea Party Response to Obama's SOTU from Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) … Calls Obamacare an "Inequality Godzilla." that Has Robbed Americans of Their Insurance, Doctore, Wages and Jobs
I hate to say we told you so America, but we told you so …
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) provided the Tea Party response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address blamed big Democrat, progressive, liberal government for the problems that Americans face and no greater example of out of control, over-reaching, over-spending and over-stated than the presidents signature piece of legislation, Obamacare. Lee referred to Obamacare as an "Inequality Godzilla, that has robbed working families of their insurance, their doctors, their wages and their jobs." Kudos to Senator Lee for also placing blame at the hands of establishment Republicans as well for the problems we face as he stated, "they can be just as out-of-touch as the Democratic Establishment."
"This inequality crisis presents itself in three principal forms," Lee (R-Utah) said. "Immobility among the poor, who are being trapped in poverty by big-government programs; insecurity in the middle class, where families are struggling just to get ahead, and they can't seem to get ahead; and cronyist privilege at the top, where political and economic insiders twist the immense power of the federal government to profit at the expense of everyone else."
"Obamacare – all by itself – is an inequality Godzilla that has robbed working families of their insurance, their doctors, their wages and their jobs," Lee said. "Many Americans are now seeing why some of us fought so hard to stop this train-wreck over the last four years."
"I believe we need to do what Americans have always done – come together and press for positive change. Protesting against dysfunctional government is a great American tradition, going back to the original Tea Party in Boston, about 240 years ago," Lee said. "Americans have a natural instinct to stand up and speak out when they know something is wrong. … Unfortunately, in recent years, we have had no choice but to engage in a number of protests against our current president's Washington-centered agenda."
The truth of the matter is that income inequality has risen under Barack Obama.
Obama Administration: It's Ok for "Green Energy" Wind Turbines to Kill or Injure Bald or Golden Eagles without Penalty Because We're Trying to Save the Environment
Obama says OK to KILL Eagles for "Green Energy" … What say you Audubon Society, PETA, Sierra Club, Greenpeace, NRDC, Earth First, and "Spotted Owl" Gore?
So not only does Obama pick winners and losers with regard to energy companies, he also picks who can kill and who can't. The shameful new rule enacted by Obama's Interior Department makes it possible for green energy companies to slaughter Bald and Golden eagles without penalty for 30 years. UNREAL. Big Oil harms some water fowl and these people lose their minds and talk about the evils of oil. However, Big Green Wind kills eagles and other birds and that is perfectly acceptable. What a fraud these liberal groups are that claim to protect the Earth and the Eco-system. As long as so-called "green" energy kills the symbol of the United States, that bis perfectly ok, but of coal, oil, gas injures a worm … then that is a national tragedy. This president will do anything to pander to his liberal base and make it all political. I would ask Mr. President, how is this fair to the Eagles?
The Obama administration said Friday it will allow some companies to kill or injure bald and golden eagles for up to 30 years without penalty, an effort to spur development and investment in green energy.
The change, requested by the wind energy industry, will provide legal protection for the lifespan of wind farms and other projects for which companies obtain a permit and make efforts to avoid killing the birds.
An investigation by The Associated Press earlier this year documented the illegal killing of eagles around wind farms, the Obama administration's reluctance to prosecute such cases and its willingness to help keep the scope of the eagle deaths secret. The White House has championed wind power, a pollution-free energy intended to ease global warming, as a cornerstone of President Barack Obama's energy plan.
According to the Washington Times, wind energy facilities have killed at least 67 golden and bald eagles in the last five years, but the figure could be much higher, according to a new scientific study by government biologists. Hmm, so why doesn't Obama and his liberal environmentalists put the same type of restrictions of "killer" wind turbines that they do to the coal, gas and oil industry? How come wind farm companies do not have to build protective cages around the turbines like a common fan has to protect birds from flying into the blades? This administration certainly has no issue with costly expenses when it comes to regulating other forms of energy.
Just curious, why aren't wind farm companies regulated to put protective covers over their blades like a common fan?
More from Breitbart.com, It's okay to kill Eagles because Obama said so.
Wildlife conservationists are livid at the Obama administration's approval of a new rule that extends wind farms leases up to 30 years. On Friday, wildlife protection groups decried the new regulation as a "stunningly bad move" that gives wind power companies the ability to kill eagles and other birds for the next 30 years.
The Wildlife Society Bulletin approximates that 573,000 birds and 888,000 bats are killed by flying into wind turbines every year. National Audubon Society President David Yarnold expressed his anger over the Obama administration's new rule: "It's outrageous that the government is sanctioning the killing of America's symbol, the bald eagle."
UPDATE I: The only one who has stepped to the plate is the Audubon Society. Interior Dept. Rule Greenlights Eagle Slaughter at Wind Farms, Says Audubon CEO … New Rule Will Authorize 30-Year Permits for Killing America's National Bird.
Instead of balancing the need for conservation and renewable energy, Interior wrote the wind industry a blank check. It's outrageous that the government is sanctioning the killing of America's symbol, the Bald Eagle. Audubon will continue to look for reasonable, thoughtful partners to wean America off fossil fuels because that should be everyone's highest priority. We have no choice but to challenge this decision, and all options are on the table." (Statement from Audubon President and CEO David Yarnold)
UPDATE II: From Right Wing News … All this carnage just to provide a pittance, a miniscule amount of energy. But because it is deemed "green" it is okay to make Eagles blood red.
All to provide miniscule power while putting a blight on the landscape. Average delivered power is roughly 30-40% with very low power density (megawatts per square mile), since you need huge tracks of land/sea for the farm. Compare that to natural gas, which has an average delivered power in the upper 80?s, with an extremely high power density.

Crack Smoking Mayor of Toronto Rob Ford Has a Higher Approval Rating than Barack Obama, 42% to 37%
It would appear that lying is worse than smoking crack …
Just how bad is it for Barack Obama? The crack smoking, foul mouthed, bizarro Toronto mayor Rob Ford actually has a higher approval rating than Barack Obama. Kind of amazing. Barack Obama is at all-time lows in every single major media poll, including a CBS poll that has Obama's job approval at 37%. But then again, if you Ford told the truth and admitted to smoking crack, Barack Obama lied through his teeth to the American people and took away their health insurance with Obamacare.
Obama's average polling job approval is 40.6%.
Rob Ford, the crack-smoking mayor of Toronto, has a higher approval rating than Barack Obama, according to a survey.
A Forum Research survey of 1,049 Toronto voters found that 42 per cent approved of the job Mr Ford has been doing as mayor of Canada's largest city.
Although it is a two point drop from two weeks ago, it is up from the 39 per cent approval rating he had before he admitted smoking crack cocaine.
By comparison, earlier this week Mr Obama's popularity slumped to an all-time low, with only 37 per cent of Americans approving of the job he is doing.
The result suggests that Mr Ford could still be competitive in next year's municipal election, although only 33 per cent of those polled said they would vote for him in 2014.

Team Obama Cooked the Books with Unemployment Numbers One Month Before 2012 Election … Jack Welch Vindicated!!!
Remember the skepticism by many when the remarkable coincidence occurred in the last reporting month prior to the 2012 Presidential election, when low and behold the unemployment numbers dropped from 7.1% to 7.8%? The numbers were hailed by Obama, his minions and an all to willing lap-dog media as the country's economic situation was headed in the right direction and Obama's policies were working. Just one problem, as reported in the New York Post, "The numbers were manipulated and the Census Bureau, which does the unemployment survey, knew it". Why is this not a surprise from what has become one of the, if not the most corrupt and scandalous White House's ever. It was not a shock to Jack Welch, who at the time questioned the numbers reported and basically called them flat out dishonest.
Jack Welch was attacked for his comments on the unemployment numbers … Watch the VIDEO below of Chris Matthews going after him. Welch would not take back what he said. Matthews asked for an apology. Looks like Mathews owes Jack Welch an apology.
In the home stretch of the 2012 presidential campaign, from August to September, the unemployment rate fell sharply — raising eyebrows from Wall Street to Washington.
The decline — from 8.1 percent in August to 7.8 percent in September — might not have been all it seemed. The numbers, according to a reliable source, were manipulated.
And the Census Bureau, which does the unemployment survey, knew it.
Just two years before the presidential election, the Census Bureau had caught an employee fabricating data that went into the unemployment report, which is one of the most closely watched measures of the economy.
And a knowledgeable source says the deception went beyond that one employee — that it escalated at the time President Obama was seeking reelection in 2012 and continues today.
"He's not the only one," said the source, who asked to remain anonymous for now but is willing to talk with the Labor Department and Congress if asked.
The Census employee caught faking the results is Julius Buckmon, according to confidential Census documents obtained by The Post. Buckmon told me in an interview this past weekend that he was told to make up information by higher-ups at Census.
The Gateway Pundit reminds us of Jack Welch's tweet and the 873,000 jobs that were created. What a frigging joke. Just how corrupt is the Obama presidency? Hot Air also emphasizes an important point in that this is not just a political election issue, election issue, Crudele reminds his readers that investors make critical decisions based on BLS data and its reputation for integrity and so does the Federal Reserve. At this point Richard Nixon is looking like a Boy Scout compared to Barry O.
Look for all of Barack Obama poll numbers to hit the 30′s after this.
Hmm, Michelle Obama's Princeton Classmate Toni Townes-Whitley is Executive at CGI Federal That Won a "No Bid" Contract that Built Failed Obamacare Website, Healthcare.gov
ARE YOU KIDDING ME: More Obama lack of transparency and in this case an outright conflict of interest, cronyism and quid pro quo, oh but its just a coincidence …
Hmm, everybody was wondering how a Canadian based company, CGI Federal, and not a US based one received the no-bid contract to build the $678 million Obamacare website,Hhealthcare.gov. So how did CGI, the company behind ObamaCare site, with such a checkered past of failure and not meeting project goal expectations get this contract? As The Daily Caller reports, maybe CGI got the "no bid" contract because Michelle Obama's Princeton classmate, Toni Townes-Whitley, is a top executive at the company that earned the contract to build the failed Obamacare website. Also, George Schindler, the president of the Canadian-based CGI Group, CGI Federal's parent company, became an Obama 2012 campaign donor after his company gained the Obamacare website contract. Yup. no quid pro quo or cronyism here, EH?
First Lady Michelle Obama's Princeton classmate is a top executive at the company that earned the contract to build the failed Obamacare website.
Toni Townes-Whitley, Princeton class of '85, is senior vice president at CGI Federal, which earned the no-bid contract to build the $678 million Obamacare enrollment website at Healthcare.gov. CGI Federal is the U.S. arm of a Canadian company.
Townes-Whitley and her Princeton classmate Michelle Obama are both members of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni.
Toni Townes '85 is a onetime policy analyst with the General Accounting Office and previously served in the Peace Corps in Gabon, West Africa. Her decision to return to work, as an African-American woman, after six years of raising kids was applauded by a Princeton alumni publication in 1998
George Schindler, the president for U.S. and Canada of the Canadian-based CGI Group, CGI Federal's parent company, became an Obama 2012 campaign donor after his company gained the Obamacare website contract.
Conservatives for Palin might have stated it best, "I know what you're thinking. But c'mon, I'm sure the no-bid contract was just a coincidence. No cronyism there. After all, CGI did such a competent job constructing Healthcare.gov with the taxpayer's $678 million that there was clearly no reason to have anyone else bid on the contract. Oh wait…". Amen brother!

Back in the first round, I took a look at the Spurs' de-evolution from a team game to a one-man show with Parker. I decided to take a similar look at Orlando and Cleveland, to see what their usage and Help Values looked like.
Cleveland has regressed back to their pre-2008 offense. Give the ball to LeBron, stand around and watch, occassionally miss a wide open shot if he's not in the game. The only new wrinkle is Mo Williams somehow running his mouth while shooting below 40% from the field. What's been shocking has been the degree to which they've had to rely on LeBron. This was never as apparent as in Game 2, where it took James hitting a nearly impossible shot with one second left at home to avoid going down 0-2.
But just how bad has it been for the Cavs? And have the Magic played evenly? Or are they just a Dwight Howard one trick pony show only with slightly better shooters?
First, let's take a look at usage. For the uninitatied, Usage is an estimate of the percentage of possessions a players uses while on the floor. For the purposes of examining these charts visually, your perfect team would be represented as a complete circle, with one to two spikes for your best player and one or two dips for your worst. That never happens, of course, with the 2 minute role players, but it gives you an ideal. Here's the Magic, regular season versus Conference Finals.
All in all, this is a pretty positive chart for the Magic. They line up well with the regular season, and are getting more possessions used by a bench player (Pietrus) and their superstar (Howard). The important thing to note is the shape. No exacerbated peaks or valleys. It's not jagged, it's fairly even for the primary rotation players. Redick's is an anomaly based on 4 shots in 9:47 in Game 2, but really, in the shortened rotations of the playoffs, that right side of the chart is more important. Again, the even distribution is more important, here, as it illustrates that the Magic aren't overly relying on any one player, but are getting the ball to their best players. If anything, this shows that the Magic still have room to improve with Hedo and Lewis in terms of aggressivness. Let that sink in.
Now let's take a look at the LeBrons.
Notice how it looks like a bird's head, with LeBron as the beak? It's a good thing that James has the heaviest usage. He's the best player on the team. But to this degree? Even more concerning is the shrinkage we're seeing from all the role support players on the Cavs. Ilgauskas, Varejao, Smith, and most importantly Delonte West. Meanwhile, Mo Williams is trying to "step up" but with his shooting so abysmal, it's not really for the best right now.
So that's a look at how each team is using its possessions, but what are the results? We could look at PER, but it's not great in a small sample setting (nothing is, really). We could look at offensive efficiency, or Win Score, but those are A. complicated, B. other people's specialties, and C. a bit more refined than what I was looking for. Instead I went to a very simple metric. I like Popcorn Machine's Help Value. It's Rebounds + Assists + Blocks + Steals – Turnovers. I threw in points for kicks. It just gives a general overview of production. It's prone to the same limitations as most simple metrics, but since we're looking for a visual comparison of individual output at the team level, I'm not too concerned to keep me from showing it. I also wanted to average it for per-minute production, so everything on Help Value is Per 40 minutes. Okay, caveats aside, here's how the Magic look.
So outside of Adonal Foyle's regular season spike, this looks pretty close from the regular season to the Conference Finals. Turkoglu is particularly interesting. He's using fewer possessions than he did in the regular season, but contributing more output. Howard's right on target, but needing more possessions to get there. It could be argued that Pietrus is really the difference in this series. Gortat's probably not being used to full potential, but we all kind of knew that going in. So how do the Cavs look in Adjusted HV plus Points per 40 minutes?
Shrinkage for every player but LeBron. Notice how the regular season chart is round, with a spike for LeBron. There's production from all the players. Even if you ignore the bench scrubs, you've still got a more even slide from point to point versus the citadel of LeBron surrounded by the hovels of Varejao and West. Let's compare the Magic's HV versus Cleveland's.
So yeah, that LeBron Guy is pretty good. But when your 1-2 are battling to a stand still with the other guys who aren't as talented, and the other team's 6-7-8 are getting way more than your guys? That's how you end up in a 2-1 hole, with only a miracle to your name. That's how you lose 8 of 12 quarters.
The Cavs can definitely get back in this thing and I expect them to win Tuesday. But they're going to have to turn Orlando into more of a one-to-two option team versus a team clicking on all cylinders, and possibly up the usage of their support players while also getting more bang for that usage buck. It ain't rocket science, but if you want to make the Finals, your team is going to have to get you there and not just the guys on the commercials.

Posts tagged determining a social media strategy
Sometimes not having a strategy is the best strategy
Dec 20th
The importance of strategy is woven into the fabric of every consultation and class I teach. I shout it from the mountaintops. And yet, sometimes I break my own rules … and with good reason. In a fast-changing competitive marketplace, sometimes not locking into a strategy is the best strategy.
I have an entrepreneur friend who said that his start-up company has a different direction every three months. On the surface, that may seem extreme, but when you are a small company, even something like gaining a new customer, hiring a new employee with special skills, or a sudden move by a competitor can dramatically create a course correction.
One of the most costly mistakes you can make in business is brilliantly executing an obsolete strategy.
In my particular field, the dynamics are changing tumultously. Right now, building a competency in social media marketing is barely-controlled chaos.
2011 was really a year of "wait and see" for me. And I'm glad I took this approach. It was uncomfortable in some ways but I needed to just let things unfold to see what monetization opportunities would emerge. Here's what happened:
Although I have been teaching at the college level for several years, the demand for my services shot through the roof in 2011. I was flexible enough to embrace opportunities that didn't exist at the beginning of the year.
My consulting business shifted dramatically from multi-million dollar companies to multi-billion dollar companies. I think this is where I am more comfortable, but it means I would have to risk more by taking on fewer, larger clients. And can I find the right resources to help me scale in this way? Some big strategic decisions will have to made for 2012.
The speaking schedule also shifted quite a bit in 2011. I evolved and matured as a public speaker and learned that I am very good at this. Do I want to grow the speaking side of the business? The trade-off with travel — is it what I want? I'll have to bring focus to this area in the next year.
The Tao of Twitter, was released in February 2011 and was a surprise hit (at least to me!). My second book will be released by McGraw-Hill in March and the publisher is expecting big things. This is going to throw me into a new public spotlight and undoubtedly open up more writing opportunities. Should writing books be an emphasis going forward?
And then there is {grow}. Blogging is the favorite part of my job but I have done a poor job monetizing the property, at least directly. I have a new video series coming out in January and a few other ideas but I have definitely sub-optimized these opportunities.
This is a round-about way of saying that it was a very good strategy to NOT have a strategy in 2011. None of these opportunities would have been fully available if I had decided early in the year to wed myself to one defined path.
Now, I need to be clear that although my strategy was in flux, being fully aware of my core competencies and points of differentiation were not. That's an important distinction. In a dynamic marketplace, remaining open to strategic shifts is OK but it only works if you are clear about how you uniquely create value.
So I'm going to spend a little quiet time over the next few weeks assessing my opportunities, combining them with my passions, and defining the best monetization path and focus for the next six months. Even now, I don't think I want to lock in completely. Is there even such a thing as a long-term strategy any more?
That's the way things are playing out for me. What is the role of strategy in your company? How has that changed with the increasing speed of business? How do balance the need to stay numble with the benefit of a strategic plan?

I'm trying to install /boot in a RAID 1 using 3 TB disks. As the RAID partition do not let you manage partitions than more than 2 TB, CentOS automatically configures the partitions using GPT.
My current machine (HP Proliant ML110 G4) does not support EFI/GPT so it uses MBR to boot the system. If I configured the /boot using a standard partition it works but it does not work if I installed the /boot using RAID 1. The system can not boot and it does not throw any error. Is it possible to install /boot in a RAID 1 with 3 TB disks if my system does not support EFI? I'm using CentOS 6.3.

For as little as $35, movie fans can cut the cord - or even cable - to wired streaming-video devices, letting people quickly, conveniently, and cheaply watch programs on their home TV sets.
WASHINGTON – Who needs cable TV anymore?
The arrival of streaming-video devices is prompting some long-time cable customers to cancel their subscriptions in favor of the digital media players that stream video and audio on home television systems, often for free.
"At $35 with easy installation and a cool integration with your computer, smartphone and tablet, the Chromecast is an interesting product," says Larry Magid, technology analyst with CBS News.
Introduced in July, Chromecast, the almost 3 inch player plugs into a televisions HDMI port and connects to the Internet through a Wi-Fi connection to the user's home network.
Chromecast supports Netflix, YouTube, Hulu Plus, Google Play and Pandora Radio and others.
"For $15 more you can get a Roku, which has far more channels, is very easy to install, and instead of having to use a mobile device to control it, it has an easy to use remote control," Magid says.
Roku, with its least expensive model priced at $50, streams Amazon Instant Video, which offers thousands of free movies and television programs to Amazon Prime members. It also streams Netflix, Hulu Plus, HBO Go, and PBS Kids and Facebook.
"The Roku is a better value," says Magid. "There's much more content available, and frankly that's what's important when it comes to streaming entertainment and information devices."
More expensive Roku models include a headphone jack built into the remote control, and the ability to stream 1080p HD video.
Apple TV, the $99 streaming device, which debuted in 2007, streams digital content from the iTunes Store, Netflix, YouTube, as well as view photos from Apple devices.
Even with so many options, Magid hasn't cut the cable.
"Frankly I don't watch cable that often, mostly just for news and sports," says Magid, "When it comes to entertainment programming, I usually watch what's on the Roku."

Photo stamps are a great way to add a touch of personalization to your mail. If you have never heard of them you are not alone. But with that being said, there is plenty of information available on them if you know where to look.
Before you get caught thinking that you should go to the post office for photo stamps you should think again. The fact of the matter is that to get customized stamps you will want use the internet. There are many online services that allow you to make your own USPS approved stamps. The process is actually quite easy, and the end result is something that you can be proud of.
There are three steps that you must take in order to get your own. Every service follows these basic steps, and if you do the same you can have your own stamps with your picture on delivered in no time at all.
1. The first thing that you need to do is upload your photo to the service that you are using. Remember, this picture is the one that is going to be used on your stamps. Make sure that you follow the guidelines set forth by the service that you are using. For obvious reasons you cannot place a big picture onto a small stamp. Luckily, you can simply read over the terms and make your image the appropriate size.
2. The next step is to customize your design. During this step you will be able to see the type of stamp that you are making. Each service has different ways that you can customize your product. Some of them are better than others because they offer more customization tools. For this reason make sure that you look into a number of different services before you choose one to use. This way you will have plenty of options when it comes to actually customizing your them.
3. Finally you will need to place your order and pay the service. Each service has different rates, and you will want to look into the cost up front. Remember, you will not only have to pay for the customization process but you will also have to pay for the stamps as well.
Personalized stamps are perfect for anybody who is looking to add a bit of flair to their mail. These are perfect for people who are sending out christmas cards, or who generally want to have a bit of fun. With photo stamps you can show the rest of the world just how much fun you like to have. A nicely customized stamp can go a long way in sticking out in the mind of the recipient.

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
You were not clear about what sort of an order he has, if the divorce is not final. However, it is the practice that, unless the court says otherwise, the parent who is physically caring for the child, decides who is doing the "babysitting" or who the child comes in contact with. In other words, if the mother has to work while it is her parenting time, she can choose who cares for the child during that time. Of course, if the court decides otherwise, that would change.
It sounds as if the father of the child is a bully and is pushing everyone around. Your daughter needs to get a good lawyer, or get her lawyer to have the father back off. I don't know why he has physical placement but it appears that he is a bitter, hateful person and can only be difficult on the child. Your daughter needs to get some rights and quickly, before he erodes her parental rights to nothing.
Good luck.
Hello again,
I would be pleased to help further. What is your question or questions?
I am assuming that he has physical custody, but there are no extraordinary allowances made for him to dictate who has contact with the children. As long as the court order does not say anything about it, he cannot change the mother's visitation, and when she has the children, you can spend as much time as you want with them.
Just because he has physical custody, does not give him the right to add or subtract anything to the court order.
Keep a journal about these threats, and every other facet of this situation and have your daughter do the same. Wait for the chance to beat him at his own game.

Fast Food Statistics: US Election Illustrated with Hamburgers and Fries
Two German illustrators have visualized the most important facts about the US presidential election using burgers and fries, the stereotypical American meal. The playful images are packed with both calories and information. They also betray a few differences in how fast food is eaten in Europe.
The hamburger is the quintessential American meal. The country that is home to McDonald's and Burger King has a long tradition of diners and fast food joints that serve up hot and greasy fare from open kitchens.
Burgers and fries belong to worldwide stereotypes about American culture, a fact that two Berlin-based German designers, Anna Lena Schiller and Lisa Rienermann, gave a nod to when choosing the calorie-bombs and their condiments to illustrate campaign statistics. The project, named "Binders Full of Burgers," is a reference to the Internet meme sparked by a Mitt Romney debate response about how he used "binders full of women" to find female staff for his cabinet as governor of Massachusetts.
Plate by plate, as more bites go missing from a burger, they illuminate how many Americans have the right to vote, and how big the turnout will likely be, for example. But the state of the beef patty, which is well-done, reveals that it was grilled in Germany, where even medium-cooked meat tends to raise eyebrows. Another detail that might stand out to American viewers is the tiny wooden french fry fork used by Europeans to avoid greasy fingers.
Further images show poll results illustrated with zigzagging lines of ketchup and mustard, which according to recent results are so close that they begin to mix.
The illustrators use hot dogs, of Frankfurters, to illustrate contributions made by German corporations to the the Obama and Romney campaigns. Most of their cash -- at least in these illustrations -- went to big business advocate Mitt Romney.
'We Ate It All In the End'
This isn't the first time that the duo has used food to explore statistics. They had so much fun using their "Election Waffles" to illustrate the 2011 Berlin state parliamentary vote that they decided to work together again during the US election.
"We hope that the pictures once again provide a different approach to the really dry numbers," says Rienermann. More than anything, though, "Binders Full of Burgers" is likely to make viewers hungry.
Unlike most food photographers, however, the two did not treat the food with any chemicals to make it appear more appetizing. "One can tell right away if food has been sitting around for a few minutes," says Rienermann, whose photography has appeared in a children's cookbook. The trick to this is working quickly. "We ate everything in the end," she says.

Man wanted after attempted robbery
Published: Wednesday, August 8, 2007 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 8, 2007 at 12:00 a.m.
Hendersonville Police are looking for a man who attempted to rob Norm's Stop and Go on Sugarloaf Road.
Officers responded to an armed robbery call Monday at 9:50 p.m. at the gas station. When police arrived, witnesses told them a white man wearing a pillow case on his head entered the store demanding money and threatening to use a firearm.
Although the man did not display a weapon, the clerk panicked and threw a telephone at the suspect, police said. The man ran from the store and police said they found the pillow case a short distance from the store. Police searched the area with K-9 units.
Police said they are looking for a white man in his early 20s, between 5'10 and 6 feet tall with a large build. He was wearing a dark brown T-shirt with tan stripes on the sleeves and khaki shorts at the time of the incident.
Anyone with information on this attempted robbery is encouraged to contact the Hendersonville Police Department at 697-3025.

So I just took my first developmental class and it was so much fun I went out and bought a track bike... In the process of learning, I think it would be helpful to monitor speed/cadence/gear inch relationships. I have an edge 500 on my road bike and love it.
1) Any issues with installing a Garmin combo sensor on a track bike (Jamis Sonik, I think its a 2009)?
2) Any other issues with computers/sensors on the track? Rules/Aesthetics or anything I am not considering?
3) My intent is to run SPD-SL Pedals and add straps either with Zip-Ties or another cut cage mod I saw... in case it is pertinent to to sensor installation.
Thanks for the help. I have about 2500 miles on the road bike so far but am a total track newb... It just looks like a lot of fun...

Diary of a Madman: Dominic Cooper Revives Uday Hussein in 'Devil's Double'
The sadism of Uday Hussein, Saddam's estranged elder son who tortured Iraqi Olympians and served three months in a private prison for murdering his father's closest confidante, is documented well enough without The Devil's Double.
Yet Lee Tamahori's adaptation of the tell-all by Latif Yahia, who reluctantly served as Uday's body double before fleeing Iraq in 1991, isn't merely the lurid chronicle of a lunatic son of privilege, but also of an escalating battle of wills between a madman and his disapproving sidekick.

A little info on me. I'm 25, 6 ft 1 in, and weigh around 215 lbs. I'm looking for a bike that will be a decent starter to be used on mostly trails, with some off trail, and some road in the mix. Im setting my budget at around $450 max for a bike. Don't have the money now but shouldn't take long to set aside.
Yesterday I went to our local bike shop, and explained what I was looking for out of a bike, and the guy pointed me in the direction of Trek and Cannondale. The Trek model he suggested for a starter was the 2010 3500. I dont know what model the Cannondale was because the Trek was being sold for $350, and the Cannondale was Higher, so I hardly paid any attention to that.
I'm just curious what people here would recommend for my use, age, size, and budget. And also curious to see what some thoughts are on the model bike that was recommended to me.
I first looked at walmart, more out of curiosity than seriousness, and from what I've seen and read and compared I shouldn't look there again.
Thanks in advance for any help.

If you are considering a customizable single-use solution, it's important to understand the value in the term "custom," as it relates to biopharma manufacturing. Contrary to referring to an often more pricey, custom development, a customized solution delivers flexibility to your process by offering solutions to your current process — and not the process of the supplier.
In this Q&A, ASI President Kent Smeltz offers his insights into the benefits of a customized solution and clears up common misconceptions about customized single-use systems.
