It's getting cold.
Walking around Shibuya I felt the first snap of Tokyo's winter freeze. Maybe it's time to get those gloves out again.
This photo is from the start of Center Gai that runs through the heart of Shibuya. Tsutaya is Japanese for "rip-off" video rental store.
Today I realized I have a new addiction. That's right, another watch.. again.
On the left is the original skelton watch I bought back in July here.
On the right is my secondhand Swatch "Body & Soul" Irony watch.
This was the original watch that I REALLY wanted. The consensus is that the LK watch looks quite a bit cheaper, albeit much easier to work out the time.
So suffering to keep up with street cred (of which I mostly lack anyway), I didn't hesitate to get it. For 4,800 yen it was a bargain. I saved that 200 yen with a discount voucher they gave me straight away too! Lucky..
To give a little bit of perspective, brand new this watch is 17,850 yen from the Swatch shop. It only had a few very light scratches and came with the original box and warranty. Looking at the papers, it's not even a year old (5/2/2008!)

The quality of the stuff you find in these recycle shops is amazing. They look untouched! They're worth seeking out in Japan. Not so much in Australia though.

A Quick Chat with NVIDIA's CEO
A Quick Chat with NVIDIA's CEO
Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO and Co-founder of NVIDIA corporation is quite unlike most other CEOs one would ever meet. As enthusiastic as ever with a pragmatic and positive mindset, he openly shared that he uses his most basic of instincts and skills formed in his youth to guide him as he manages his huge company with difficult decisions to make on a daily basis. We guess he's got great survivor instincts and willpower that has seen him through thus far and should serve him well even when moving forward.
After a quick group chat with the Asia-Pacific Editors, we've compiled the key findings and his thoughts in an easy to digest manner:-
Evolution of Games in the near-term
- All new games would end up supporting some form of physics simulation by some time in 2010.
- A lot of what's been showcased in the conference here has been revolving around physics processing or its related aspects.
- You've seen what PhysX can do for your game immersion and more games are steadily supporting this as new titles are released. Fast forward a year later and think about games without some form physics processing element - that sure sounds like a bland looking game.
What about Ray-Tracing in Games?
- Ray tracing may come in the further future, but not probably anytime soon. While it's easier to manage, it is far more computationally intensive. Plus, there isn't anyone pursuing this at the moment.
- Ray-tracing improves on visual quality, but it doesn't help with regards to immersive gaming where interactions with objects and environments provide the added level of realism and user involvement.
- For these reasons, physics simulation will come to games first as it has already made its mark and is a growing pool.
Consumer applications where GPU computing will aid most in the coming years
- Games
- Imaging tools (Adobe and NVIDIA are collaborating tightly in this space and more will be revealed later).
- Video processing
- Image and character recognition to enable new forms of data management
Tegra will be a part of the GP-GPU Computing initiative
- The development of the Tegra chip took some US$500 million.
- Its purpose is to fill a void for very low power multimedia computing needs in the form factors for mobile phones, PMPs, netbooks, notebooks and in many other forms of compact computing needs without the need to run x86 software.
- It supports CUDA as well, thus GP-GPU computing; but on lower PTX (parallel thread execution engine) standards that can be manipulated as a profile. This is where the NVIDIA Nexus development environment comes in.
Why the Fermi architecture coming out late won't matter to NVIDIA
- Its design priorities were that it must be a great GPU first and foremost; there's no reason to release a new GPU that doesn't offer a phenomenal advantage over the best of the current generation.
- Secondly, it must be pushed out as soon as possible, but this priority is secondary to the first one, in which it must be a great GPU.
- As such, it doesn't matter if NVIDIA misses out the December buying season.
The PC market segmentation going forward as envisioned by Jen-Hsun
- It will be split in three distinct categories.
- The first would target professionals and high-end content creators who probably tax the GPU far more than their CPUs.
- The second group would be high-end end-users who have very specific requirements and needs out of their PC. They are likely to use a balance of the CPU and GPU for their tasks.
- The third groups would be the mainstream users, who would eventually turn to cloud computing services and devices or systems that will enable internet access as they wouldn't have any specific needs; if they did, they would already have bought a reasonably spec'ed system.
- The traditional PC as we know it will go become a highly commoditized item, just they like how DVD players are. They are indispensible but are extremely cheap that they become part of a service bundle - just like phones and netbooks being given away for a subscription.
- This is why NVIDIA is investing in Tegra for mobility and compact devices as well as the Quadro and Tesla series for workstation and HPC needs as the Cloud will eventually serve the needs of the mainstream users and they need not require powerful compute devices with them.
- Discrete graphics will still be around, but it would probably not play as big a role to consumers as it would to corporations building services. Think about the recent beta launch of the OnLive service trials where powerful PC games like Crysis can be run off the computing cloud and the game itself can be played fluently on a low-level PC system or even on your TV.
- The face of personal computing is set for a change indeed for the mainstream users.
Any amount of compute power is never enough
- When programmable shaders were introduced in 2001, it was unheard of. It was even seen as a overkill back then. But within a couple of years, the entire industry was on to it as more were enlightened of its capabilities
- So by next year, you can expect all GPUs to handle physics processing.
- In 5 years time, expect the stuff you see in movies like those explosions and cool rendering effects to be made available in games.
- Already folks like LucasArts are using the same development tools as their Lucasfilm counterparts are using and this means accelerated game and movie development. This further enforces the fact that the movie-level of realism is certainly within reach given a few more years when processing power would have leaped much more to enable this.

How come the Puppy for RasPi doesn't include the raspi-config command?
So how should I change the RAM-split?

The raspi-config command edits various config files but the one that defines the gpu_mem setting is config.txt.
It can be found on the first (boot) partition of the SD card. If running Puppy click on mm0p1 in the bottom left corner of the desktop.

@woodenshoe: Thank you for your help. I've had alpha 4 running with the 3.6.11+ kernel for a while now and it's going reasonably well.
For anyone who is interested, here is some feedback on what I've been seeing.
What works?
Let's start with the good stuff. Within 3 hours of first boot I was satisfied that there was enough functionality that simply worked 'out of the box' to make it worth trying to develop the system. Specifically, e-mail, web browsing (+ ad blocking), bit-torrent, playing audio (music) and streaming internet radio all worked at the first attempt. There are blemishes, odd bits of functionality that don't quite work as they should, but the mainline functionality is present and correct.
Since I've run both Debian and Fedora on the RPi, I can happily confirm that (as you would expect) Puppy is an order of magnitude faster than those systems. That's not to say Puppy is fast, but it delivers fairly acceptable response times rather than being forever painfully slow.
What doesn't work
Looking at the system I soon realised I was missing an image viewer. Viewnior wasn't in the system. The package manager listed a Viewnior pet package as being available but could not download it. So I went to the
and downloaded it manually. It's been omitted for a simple reason. It does not work.
While looking at the repository I noticed the
package and wondered if it was in the build. I've needed to add it manually on other Puppy systems. It's the same for alpha 4. Fortunately the ntfs_3g package does work and after installing it I could write to my NTFS formatted drives.
The RPi does not have a hardware clock so the functionality to set the hardware clock from an NTP server (which is in the build) seems a little superflous. Unfortunately the 'set date and time' function also seems to be faulty. I can set the date but not the time. Changing the date resets the time to 00:00. There is no other option. If I change the date at midnight I can have the correct date and time for as long as I keep the RPi powered up. But of course after a power-down the time is wrong once more.
Network and optical drives
If I plug a disc into the back of my router I can access it via NAS on most of the systems I use (including Lucid Puppy 525) but it does not seem to work on alpha 4.
I have a couple of old optical drives with their own power supplies. I tried them with alpha 4. When I inserted a CD or DVD nothing happened. However opening a console and mounting the disc from the command line does work (although there is no icon on the Pinboard). Nevertheless, you can make the data available to an application that needs it.
Package Manager
edit -- this paragraph is only half correct, see two posts further.
The Puppy package manager in alpha 4 isn't a great deal of help. The one useful thing it will do is uninstall any unwanted packages you may have tried out as an experiment. I asked the package manager to download database information for the repositories it knew about. It did that quite successfully and then threw up a syntax error for each entry in the databases. That took about 90 minutes. In other words, downloading from the Debian squeeze armel
via the package manager is off the menu.
Adding applications
Installing Debian applications manually is tedious. Made worse by Debian's habit of splitting everything up into large numbers of tiny packages. But so far I've not found any other option. So I browsed the repository looking for something both small and useful. An image viewer to replace Viewnior seemed the obvious choice. GeeQie is two packages with 9 dependencies. Pfind was able to tell me that three of the dependencies were already resolved. The remaining six dependencies have a further five dependencies of their own (none resolved). So I downloaded the 13 packeges and installed them in more or less bottom up order. I'm happy to say the GeeQie viewer runs very nicely on alpha 4 (and it's a much more capable viewer than Viewnior). I used Geany to edit the 'defaultimageveiwer' script so as to launch 'geeqie-standard' and all is working well.
A real bug?
The various bugs and blemishes I have encountered have been benign. Various little things that don't work as they should, but don't to any damage to the system either. There is one exception. I did once loose the system and need to do a complete re-install. There is something wrong with the functionality that allows the user to make cosmetic changes to the Pinboard. For example, if you select an alternative icon theme, Puppy thereafter shows all drives as unmounted. On the occasion I lost the system the sequence that led up to the crash was: I changed the icon theme, and then edited one of the icons so that it launched a different application. I then noticed that all the drives were being shown as unmounted and decided to switch back to the standard icon theme. A few seconds later X died and took the system down permanently. It was back to the dd command.
To GPU or not to GPU?
The hardware information function tells me that Puppy can see all of the RAM but apparently can't see the GPU. This becomes immediately obvious if you ask Gnome Media Player to play a video. It's clearly trying to render video using the rather slow main processor rather than using the super-fast GPU. I'm also running openELEC on the RPi and have been impressed by the RPi's ability to play h.264 encoded HD video. Even 1920x1080 BD rips play smoothly most of the time. So Puppy seems to be ignoring the RPi's main asset. Then again, I guess that's OK. It's easy enough to swap SD cards and boot the RPi up in openELEC when I want to watch video. What I need from Puppy is a system that will do normal everyday computing tasks on the RPi and in that respect, alpha 4 looks quite promising.

I am running SAP Alpha 4 using Berryboot. I've updated it to the most recent kernel that Berryboot uses.
The automatic clock setting from the internet seems to work for me, but I did have to reboot.
As far as the graphics acceleration, the only way to get accelerated video on the R Pi is to use "omxplayer" which is the custom player made for the R. Pi. It seems to be more or less a command line equivalent to mplayer.
So any reasonable video solution is going to have to be some sort of front end for omxplayer. This is what they did to make xbmc work. I don't know how hard it would be, but gmplayer and also the gtk-youtube application might be able to be adapted to use omxplayer as its backend instead of mplayer. I assume that would fix the video issues.
As far as what works, I'd add that CUPS and rdesktop both work well. The main thing I have been using it for is as a print server (freeing my laptop from the desk) and as a thin client to my Windows XP machine.
I installed rdesktop and grdesktop from the Puppy Package Manager without any problem.

Yes, I need to make a correction to what I wrote. As noted above, I screwed up the Puppy Package Manager while trying to update the repo databases. But since then I've made a complete re-install. The Package Manager in it's out of the box state works. I should have left well alone.
So I've been adding applications from the Debian squeeze armel repository. QMMP audio player and Pan newsreader. Both seem to work OK.

A few days ago, quite by chance, I noticed a new skeleton for RPi had been posted in the Quirky repository. Just out of curiosity, I downloaded it and wrote it onto an SD card so that I could take a look.
Not very exciting, but I did notice one thing: A
command has been added to the end of the config.txt file.
I believe that form of the command is now out of date (though I presume it will still work on older type A RPi's).
During my experiments with alpha 4 I've tried loading the RPi with applications running on all three desktops and it not too difficult to get to the point where resource depletion slows response times to a crawl.
But what the hardware info panel tells me is that no matter how overloaded alpha 4 is, it's still using slightly less than 256Mb of RAM. Hardly supprising since alpha 4 pre-dates the introduction of the type B model RPi.
Given that alpha 4 can't play video and the hardware info panel does not even mention the existance of the GPU, I started to question the value of allocating 64Mb of RAM to the GPU. So I added a
command to my config.txt file.
That makes a difference. alpha 4 is (of course) still not using the top 256Mb of RAM, but it is now using 240Mb (rather than 192Mb) of the bottom 256Mb of RAM. For things like web surfing and reading newsgroups, there is a modest but noticable improvement in performance.

When I was setting up my alpha 4 system on the RPi one thing I noticed was that the unrar function did not work. The Puppy archive manager said it could not find the unrar program. I went to the Debian armel repository and installed it. That made no difference.
At the time there were quite a few things I was trying to sort out and investigating the unrar function was deferred. Once I started doing 'real work' on the RPi the lack of an unrar function became an irritation. Fixing it proved to be fairly simple.
The Debian armel package installs a program called 'unrar-nonfree' in /usr/bin. The Puppy archive manager is looking for a program called 'unrar'. I made a copy of the unrar-nonfree program under the name unrar. Now the Puppy archive manager is able to find it and the unrar function works. The graphical on-screen feedback to show that an unrar is in progress does not work but the 'task completed' message is shown as normal.
A few other odds and ends that come to mind:
The built in Ctorrent works, but can't seem to open the listening port. I switched to Transmission. That works well on the RPi and for the sake of installing libupnp3 you can get Transmission to open the listening port.
Xfe file manager works well on alpha 4. As does Pan newsreader. There is a command line version of the Par2 utility in the Debian armel repository which is simple but effective.
If you add in mhWaveEdit (which is standard in many Puppies but has been omitted from alpha 4) and then augment it with the Lame mp3 package (see the Debian armel backports repository) you'll be able to encode mp3's on your RPi. Though it's slow going.
The weakest part of running Puppy alpha 4 on RPi is web browsing. There is probably no clever soloution to this, the main processor is simply not fast enough. I gave up on Chromium fairly quickly. I now have Midori and Links2 installed and swap between the two depending upon which web sites I am trying to access. There is a build of Links2 in the Puppy quirky arm6 repository. Perhaps it's a shame it was not in the build.
To my amusement, I find I'm now making real use of the RPi. I bought it as a toy. Now I have two of them. One running openELEC and the other running Puppy alpha 4. I'm dumping bit-torrent and usenet work onto the Puppy alpha 4 system rather than have those functions eat up resources on my main laptop.
It's a real shame pnethood does not work on alpha 4.

Post subject: Pnethood on alpha4
I did get Pnethood working with the following pets, and tested it on a samba share from a Puppy computer.
I don't know if it will work with Windows 9x/XP/Vista/7/8. There are a lot of variations of the SMB/CIFS protocol and different authentication methods. I did not compile all of them into the smbclient program.
The new kernels only come with the cifs.ko kernel module so there is no smbmount command anymore. The smbclient program comes from samba-tng, it's a lot smaller than the version from samba.
01micko was experimenting with network_roxapp on the Raspberry Pi and warned about some kind of bug that could cause data loss.
I don't know any specifics about it, whether it was a samba problem or a kernel module. I am using the 3.2.27+ kernel, and the checksums on all of the test files I transfered checked out OK.....

Personally, I'm thinking of trying to get this up and running on my Pi, and see what's the case with it.
Perhaps I might be able to do something... Though I do wonder what this is built on-top of, if it is Woof + Raspbian? If so I'll try to figure out the version, or perhaps get the Woof scripts onto Raspbian, and build a Woof-based puplet off that, but I would need to figure out how stable it would be.

Hi Woofers,

The life of Pi: Intel to give away Arduino-friendly 'Galileo' tiny-puter
Intel is now actively attempting to recruit the maker community to aid it in its battle against ARM.
Today at a major gathering of European hardware hackers in Rome, the chip giant announced it has cooked up a Raspberry Pi-style board computer with the blessing of Arduino.

In this session we take a small, functional but tightly-coupled, software solution and improve its design using each of Robert C. Martin's S.O.L.I.D. principles as follows:
- SRP: Single Responsibility Principle
- OCP: Open-Close Principle
- LSP: Liskov Substitution Principle
- ISP: Interface Segregation Principle
- DIP: Dependency Inversion Principle
Each principle is applied in sequence to the existing solution, making it possible for the attendee to observe the principle in relative isolation first while also evolving an understanding of how the principles all collaboratively reinforce each other when applied together.
Before each principle is applied and the solution is refactored to introduce it, the attendee is presented with one or two simple PowerPoint slides to introduce the concept and provide some abstract understanding of its goals and benefits to OO programming. The principle is then applied to the existing solution, demonstrating the practical application of the principle to working software.
At each step along the way, the existing solution (a simple console application) is re-executed, demonstrating that the overall behavior of the software solution has not been negatively impacted by the various refactorings.

Team Leaders
To facilitate operation of the conference, a number of Student Volunteers are appointed as Team Leaders. Team Leaders manage Student Volunteers at specific conference venues and coordinate volunteer duties with SIGGRAPH Asia 2010 Committee members. This is an invaluable opportunity to share your experience and enhance Student Volunteers' performance.
Applicants for Team Leader positions must meet all Student Volunteers criteria and must have demonstrated outstanding abilities as a Student Volunteer in at least one of the four most recent SIGGRAPH or SIGGRAPH Asia conferences (SIGGRAPH 2008, SIGGRAPH 2009, SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 or SIGGRAPH Asia 2009). Team Leaders must be organized, enthusiastic, and dedicated to helping the conference run smoothly for attendees. They must be able to take initiative and solve problems in this dynamic and self-motivated role. Team Leaders must also be effective in managing large groups of people and performing under pressure. They are expected to volunteer at least 48 hours during the conference, not including orientation. All Team Leaders must attend a half-day Team Leader orientation session on Monday, 13 December 2010. They are also expected to be at the conference from Monday, 13 December 2010 through Sunday, 19 December 2010.
Team Leader Application Process
Team Leader applicants must first complete the standard Student Volunteer Application. Before they submit an application, Team Leader applicants will complete one additional section containing questions related to personal skills and experience, and are required to write one additional personal statement of no more than 300 words, as described in the application.
Team Leader Recognition
All Team Leaders receive seven nights of accommodation (Sunday, 12 December 2010 to Sunday, 19 December 2010). A minimum of two leaders of the same gender will share each hotel room. It may be necessary to place more than two per room, but every effort will be made to keep the number in each room to the minimum. Further information on housing will be provided upon an applicant's acceptance as a Team Leader.
Team Leaders will also receive additional conference materials beyond those offered to Student Volunteers.
All Team Leaders are responsible for their own travel to and from Seoul, as well as their own meals during their time at the conference. Meal vouchers are available, but they are not guaranteed.

Irish Moss: What Gelatin is to "Jell-O", Raw Irish Moss is to Pudding, Cream Pie, Meringue, Whipped Cream and other raw desserts. Raw Irish Moss is an excellent source of minerals. This almost-tasteless seaweed is loaded with life-enhancing nutrients such as sulfur compounds, protein, iodine, bromine, beta-carotene, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, zinc, pectin, B-vitamins and vitamin C. It most definitely is a super food.
Agave Nectar: Agave Nectar is a wonderful low glycemic sweetener. It is extracted from the Agave Cactus and is available as a raw, organic, close-to-nature alternative to refined sugars. We purchase our supplies from ethical companies who have a personal relationship with their manufacturers to ensure our product is raw & produced using first rate organic farming and harvesting methods. Agave has a glycemic index of 30-35.
Coconut Oil: Coconut oil consists of over 90% raw saturated fat, which is an important building block for every cell in the human body. Unlike long-chain saturated animal fats (that have been associated with creating poor health), Coconut Oil contains healthy, healing, medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). MCTs support the immune system, the thyroid gland, the nervous system, the skin, and provide fast energy. The MCTs in Coconut Oil help increase metabolism and therefore help with weight loss. It is rich in lauric acid, which is antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiparasitical, and antiviral. Close to two-thirds of its saturated fat is made up of medium-chain fatty acids, which are actually health promoting and they are antimicrobial, easily digested for quick energy, and beneficial to the immune system. Most commercial coconut oils are refined, bleached, and deodorized, and some are even hydrogenated.
Coconut Nectar: When the coconut tree is tapped, it produces a naturally sweet nutrient-rich "sap" that exudes from the coconut blossoms. This sap is very low glycemic and contains 17 amino acids, minerals, vitamin C, broad-spectrum B vitamins, and has a nearly neutral pH. It is raw and enzymatically active.
Coconut Palm Sugar Crystals: Although not raw this sugar has a nutritional content far richer than all other commercially available sweeteners. It is especially high in Potassium, Magnesium, Zinc and Iron and is a natural source of the vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6 and C. Along with being low glycemic (35) it's also very rich in other minerals and enzymes which aid in the slow absorption into the bloodstream.
Cacao Butter and Powder: We use a combination of Ecuadorian, Venezuelan, and Bali Cacao products for all of our chocolate desserts. Raw Cacao is the highest known antioxidant food in the world according to its ORAC score (95,500-powder; 62,100-nibs). Much higher even than regular roasted dark chocolate (26,000-powder; 13,120-dark chocolate) and blueberries (2,400). We only use cacao from manufacturers who protect the rights of small farmers and do not use slave labor.
Almonds and Cashews: What may be surprising to many is that even though almonds and cashews are labeled "Raw" they are not. The word "Raw" is allowed to be stated in almonds and cashews but it only means they are unroasted. Misleading? Yes. We only purchase almonds & cashews that are truly raw. This of course costs more but the end product is so much more healthy and flavorful. Our almonds and cashews are not steamed or gas pasteurized thus retaining the nutrients and enzymes that were intended to remain in the original product.
Vanilla Beans & powder: Our raw vanilla beans are sun-dried, naturally cured, not processed with alcohol, artificial heat or chemicals. Our vanilla powder is made from pure ground vanilla beans only. No alcohol used. No irradiation! Just naturally sun dried vanilla beans. The aroma and taste is out of this world!
Himalayan Crystal Salt: 100% Pure - Contains 84 "natural" elements needed by the body. This salt's unique structure also stores vibrational energy. Himalayan Crystal Salt is a wholesome, unprocessed natural salt that brings out the wonderful flavor of our raw foods.
Essential Oils & Extracts: We proudly use products from Medicine Flower and other top quality organic suppliers. Medicine Flower extracts are considered raw and are some of the best we've found anywhere. The flavors are out of this world.
Natural Colorants: All of our colors come from the plant world. That means that at no time will we use any artificial colorings. I mean, who would want to, with all the wonderful abundant natural choices out there?

"Outraged" Obama has "transferred people around in the State Department… nobody lost their job"
Steve Watson
May 22, 2013
Senator Rand Paul says that appropriate punishments need to be handed out to officials involved in the IRS' unfair treatment of Tea Party groups and conservative "patriot" groups applying for tax exemption.
"Someone needs to be fired," Paul said on Fox News's Neil Cavuto Tuesday. "And it seems to be impossible to fire a government employee. Still no one has been fired over Benghazi. They were transferred. We called them up today. They still all have phone numbers and offices. That's the problem."
"People want government to be responsive. And if someone uses and abuses the power of government, they want that person kicked out of office." Paul asserted.
Paul also stated that should a proper investigation find criminal activity at the heart of the IRS's targeting of conservative groups, then "someone needs to go to jail."
The Senator repeated his call for an independent investigation into the scandal,
Taking aim at the president's attempted detachment from the issue, Paul said that if Obama truly is "outraged", as he has claimed, then "…we want to see him do something. He needs to say, in a short period of time, that someone is going to be leaving."
"He sort of says he is outraged, but like with Benghazi, his response was to transfer people around in the State Department and nobody lost their job." Paul added.
"So, really, someone has to be fired. Someone should be prosecuted if this is a criminal occurrence. But I don't think the president — he has been kind of passive in all of this. He seems to be detached and he kind of wants to show outrage, but say, hey, I had nothing to do with it, I'm just the president." The Senator urged.
"I'm not sure that's going to fly with the public." Paul added.
Watch the interview:
Paul's demands come in the wake of IRS official Lois Lerner pleading the Fifth Amendment and refusing to testify at today's congressional hearing.
Before invoking that right, Lerner claimed she had done nothing wrong, adding "I have not broken any laws. I have not violated any IRS rules or regulations, and I have not provided false information to this or any other congressional committee."
Commentators have reveled in the irony of an IRS official invoking constitutional protections after specifically targeting non-profits that were teaching the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
As we noted yesterday, most Americans believe that the White House is engaging in a cover up over the IRS tactics. In a Washington Post/ABC News poll, 45 percent suggested that the White House has not disclosed all the facts, compared to 42 percent who say they trust the government on the matter.
In addition, a majority of Americans said they believe increased IRS scrutiny on conservative groups was deliberate, with only 31 percent saying they believed it was an "administrative mistake." A whopping 74 percent, described the tactics as inappropriate, with 51 percent saying they feel the actions are criminal.
A CNN poll reveals that the Tea Party has received a favorability bump in response to the scandal.
"Politically, the group that may have benefitted the most from last week's news is the tea party movement, which may be getting something akin to a 'sympathy vote' for being targeted by the highly unpopular IRS," CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said on Monday.

Feds pull 'Alice in Wonderland' on free speech
Coalition of education groups says schools not exempt from 1st Amendment
"Sentence first. Verdict after."
A coalition of education organizations has told the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Education that's the impact of a newly reached agreement regarding sexual assaults at the University of Montana that is being touted as a model for schools nationwide.
'The agreement provides that 'a university must take immediate steps to protect' a party complaining of harassment, even 'taking disciplinary action against the harasser' before investigation of the complaint begins," said a newly released letter that was addressed to Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez and Seth Galanter, acting assistant secretary for the Education Department.
It was written by Kevin Theriot, senior counsel, and David J. Hacker, senior legal counsel, of the Alliance Defending Freedom on behalf of leaders of Young America's Foundation, National Association of Scholars, Students for Life of American, Ratio Christi, Campus Bible Fellowship International, Collegians for a Constructive Tomorrow and Beta Upsilon Chi.
The letter warns that "the agreement fails to require UM and other universities to show 'continuing danger to persons or property,' or provide notice and a hearing immediately following the disciplinary action."
"As one commentator noted already, this is 'reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland's 'sentence first, verdict afterwards,'" the letter says.
"But a mere investigation into clearly protected activity violates the Constitution. … The agreement requires UM and other universities to violate students' due process."
WND reported the May 9 guidance from the U.S. Department of Education was understood to mean that every flirtation on a college campus in America and every request to go out on a date could be considered sexual harassment.
The federal government then tried to explain away the controversy.
The department advisory apparently eliminated the standard of whether a "reasonable person" would consider certain actions harassment. It explained that any comment, action, insinuation or implication would be harassment if it were unwanted.
The advisory also warned that the school's sexual harassment policy "improperly suggests that the conduct does not constitute sexual harassment unless it is objectively offensive."
The university policy had held that "whether conduct is sufficiently offensive to constitute sexual harassment is determined from the perspective of an objectively reasonable person of the same gender in the same situation."
That standard is not acceptable, according to the advisory, signed by Anurima Bhargava, chief of the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division Educational Opportunities Section, and Gary Jackson, a region chief for the U.S. Department of Education.
"Whether conduct is objectively offensive is a factor used to determine if a hostile environment has been created, but it is not the standard to determine whether conduct was 'unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature' and therefore constitutes 'sexual harassment,'" the advisory said.
Read the advisory.
The advisory was addressed to University of Montana President Royce Engstrom and university lawyer Lucy France. It was a "resolution" of an investigation into the sexual harassment climate at the school and its "compliance review" of officials' actions.
"Sexual harassment is unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature. When sexual harassment is sufficiently severe or pervasive to deny or limit a student's ability to participate in or benefit from the school's program based on sex, it creates a hostile environment," the federal officials warned the state.
Hans Bader of the Chronicle of Higher Education called the position adopted by the Department of Education "radical."
Now the education groups have stepped up to voice their concerns.
"Students should be able to speak freely about issues such as race, gender, religion and politics without fearing retribution," said senior legal counsel David Hacker. "While we condemn actual harassment, which has a clear legal definition, this anti-harassment blueprint is nothing less than a vague and broadly defined speech code that will end up prohibiting speech the First Amendment protects."
ADF said the Obama administration strategy "leaves universities with the enormous, and unbridled, administrative burden of policing what is and is not actionable harassment. Free speech will suffer in the end."
"Free, spontaneous discourse on college campuses is supposed to be a hallmark of higher education rather than the exception to the rule," added senior counsel Kevin Theriot. "The policies of the Department of Justice and the Department of Education should always allow students to exercise their constitutionally protected freedoms."
Said the letter to Washington: "There is no question that universities like UM should protect students from actual harassment, but they can do so and comply with the First Amendment under a severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive standard. The agreement's broad definition of harassment, however, fails to protect real victims. Their cries for help will be drowned out by frivolous complaints of insults, teasing, jokes, and other clearly protected activity. In the end, that leaves speech chilled and victims without justice."
The Obama administration also recently came under fire for determining that on-campus sex assault cases would not be decided, as in courts, by evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.
The federal government requires colleges to use a preponderance of evidence standard, which means someone would think there is more evidence something did happen than not.
On April 4, 2011, the Education Department issued a directive on campus sexual assault that states, "A school's grievance procedures must use the preponderance of the evidence standard to resolve complaints of sex discrimination."
By "sex discrimination," the department also meant rape. The direction on grievance procedures is listed under a heading titled "What are a school's obligations under Title IX regarding sexual violence?"
College campus courts using the preponderance of evidence standard to weigh sexual assault cases have many onlookers outraged.
The group Stop Abusive and Violent Environments, or SAVE, believes the department policy is unconstitutional. SAVE issued a statement declaring the preponderance of evidence standard is "stripping the accused of the presumption of innocence and allowing students to be expelled without the benefit of legal counsel."
SAVE has published a list of 13 organizations that have issued letters calling on the department to rescind its sexual assault directive, including the American Association of University Professors, the American Council for Trustees and Alumni, the National Association for Scholars, Tully Center for Free Speech at Syracuse University, eight civil rights scholars, Accuracy in Media, the Heartland Institute, the Alliance Defending Freedom and Feminists for Free Expression.
A year ago, WND reported a case of severe injustice caused by the department's preponderance of evidence policy.
Student Caleb Warner was found guilty of sexual assault by a campus court at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks in 2010 despite the facts established at the time by city police.
Officers not only refused to charge him but also alleged his accuser made a false report. Police issued a warrant for her arrest.
It took 18 months – during which Warner not only was banned from the UND campus but also from all college campuses in the state – after the university to agree to reconsider the conviction and clear his record.
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education said: "Nobody should be surprised that [Warner] does not want to return to UND. The university showed less than zero concern for disrupting his life and career and branding him a criminal based on an extremely low standard of evidence, and has shown zero inclination to be remorseful about what it has done."

Life at GIIS
At GIIS, we believe in working with students to create future global citizens who are not only well educated, but also well-rounded.
To help reach that goal, we divide all of our campuses into four houses. Students are placed into a house, and inter and intra-school competitions, allow them to compete against other houses in academics, performing arts, fine arts, literature, and sports. These school and house activities help students showcase their learning while also developing a sense of teamwork and pride in individual accomplishments.
Extra-Curricular Activities
Extra-curricular activities are those activities, often sports-based, that take place outside of the GIIS classroom, helping students develop their personalities and physical aptitude, which is a crucial part of our Nine Gems programme.
Students who show particular talent in these extracurricular activities may participate in the Gold Squad Programme, which provides additional, intensive training under skilled coaches.
Activities Inspiring Innovation
GIIS believes that our students are the innovators of tomorrow, and we strive to provide school activities that encourage our students and educators alike to practice innovation today. We define innovation as "the act of starting something for the first time in our existing context of work that would add value to our processes." Examples of innovative initiatives on GIIS campuses include:
- Creative Sparks - An activity encouraging creative, innovative thinking across all subjects.
- Buck-a-Day - A program allowing students to share their ideas to save $1 or more each day.
- Sony Creative Toy Competition - An exercise showcasing hand-made toys that are created by applying innovative scientific techniques.
Co-Curricular Activities
Co-curricular activities take what students are learning in the classroom and builds upon that through talent shows, performances, competitions, clubs and additional classroom work. Examples of our co-curricular activities include:
- Vocal music
- Bharatanatayam
- Musical Instruments - Guitar, tabla, keyboard
- Creative Arts - Home decor, Ceramics
- Language learning (Hindi, Mandarin, Japanese)
- Hobby Clubs - Science, IT, Math etc.
These clubs and activities encourage our students to delve deeper into activities and subject areas that they are passionate about. Across all the innovation, extra-curricular, or co-curricular activities, our primary goal is to incite passion and provide a fun way for students to discover and embrace the spirit of relentless learning, inside as well as outside the classroom, so they can identify with different interests, passions and personalities.
To learn more about the way our school activities help mould students into future leaders and innovators, schedule a tour of your chosen campus today!

I really loved reading everyone's comments on the last post! I got quite a few texts/emails from some of ya and I seriously can't tell you how much I appreciated being able to bounce ideas off of y'all.
I had originally included this post's content in the Discussion Board post, but really…it needed it's own post. It's still messy and a bit all over the place because that's where I am right now with this whole line of thought. Which drives me crazy. Sigh.
P is set for a re-check this Wednesday. At the vet's request, I emailed her pictures of his foot last Friday and she made the comment that it looks great and he should be able to get back to work soon. Which should've been good to hear, right? But…it wasn't. If anything, the closer he gets to being cleared, the more I'm finding I'm dreading it.
Of course the ideal plan is for him to go to Trainer B's for awhile. Or at the very least, trailering him to Trainer B's for rides, especially those initial jumping ones. But eventually I'll have to take back over and, well, I sort of don't want to. One guess why.
Awhile ago I wrote a post detailing how exactly my horse is so great. And it's a loooong list…with literally one negative. The negative being that sometimes he stops at some jumps. And while I kept telling myself to just be grateful that my horse is so awesome in so many ways, the stopping really is a biggie. I love eventing and it's what I want to do, but 2/3 of eventing is jumping. It's hard to enjoy it on P because you literally have zero clue if you're going to take off or not. He'll pop over a Training level trakehner and then 5 minutes later, stop at a cross-rail. Every jump is a surprise with him.
Now, I can't pretend this is just P's issue and I've had nothing to do with it. I've had P for just about 5 years now and this horse is so in tune with me it's a little creepy. Looking back, he's always been that way with me and while it's so great in so many ways, I've made a ton of mistakes that I don't know we can ever truly get 100% past.
Conversation to every jump:
Me: Are you going to jump this?
P: Do you think I should? I'm feeling some hesitation on your part.
Me: That's because I don't know if you're going to go. So are you?
P: I dunno. You don't seem too sure.
Me: No, YOU don't seem too sure.
P: No, YOU don't seem too sure.
And on and on it goes.
See, re-starting a young OTTB wasn't exactly new to me and I did a pretty good job putting a solid foundation on him. He was reliably w/t/c, cruising around small courses and had had lots of field trips to become a solid citizen off-property. But about a year and a half in, we reached a point where I had zero clue where to go next. Kudos to me, I know my limits and reached out for help. Bad on me, the people I paired us up with were not only not good for us, but pretty detrimental. The result was a devastating loss of confidence all around- I had no confidence in myself or in P, and P had no confidence in me.
I think we can all agree that Trainer B has done wonders for the two of us, and for that, I'm eternally grateful. But having P out of commission for so long has seen me riding other horses and I have to say, those were some of the best rides ever. Take cross country. I LOVE cross country, but with P, I never knew what was going to happen fence to fence. The best parts of XC with him are the long galloping stretches between fences (because he's AWESOME to gallop) and going through the finish flags, because then there are no more fences to stress over.
When I took S in his first little HT I had a great time on him during the course because he's the kind of horse who, while you do have to ride him confidently to all the fences, is pretty honest. As long as you don't screw it up, 9/10 he'll go.
When I took C in the HT a few weeks ago, I had an absolute BLAST. For nearly two years now, Trainer B has told me that I want to feel like I'm being dragged to the fence. It wasn't until riding C that I finally understood what he meant. He gives you that feeling that he's not only NOT going to stop, but that he really enjoys what he's doing. And I want more of that.
So that's where the possibility of Horse #2 started. My budget will always be green, baby OTTB. And that means a horse who's not show-ring ready and needs some time and work. Which gives me time with P (or time for Trainer B & P) and also takes some pressure off P. Because I put a lot of that on him and on myself.
I have a few different scenarios for how this plays out and I'm not even close to deciding which one is the most likely outcome. Some of it is out of my hands and only time will tell. But I'll likely have to make some decision at some point and I'm dreading having to do so.
It's entirely possible that P will come back and we'll go on to do some great things. Maybe we'll get back to where we were when the suspensory strain happened, and get back to Novice with a goal of Training. But it's also entirely possible that we'll have the same issues together and I don't know if I really want to pursue competing with P if it's going to be such a struggle and so mentally draining. It's also a possibility that P reinjures the tendon (or a different one…horses, man) or won't be able to physically hold up to jumping. I've already been sidelined for nearly a year rehabbing P and the thought of "wasting" another stretch of time only to find out that this isn't going to work makes my skin crawl. It's the Type A in me.
If I were to give P and I, say, six more months to try out competing together and then finally had to face reality that it's not worth it, I'd be kicking myself for having waited to start all over again. That would sideline me even longer while I searched for another horse and started back over from the beginning.
A 4 year old baby P learning to go through puddles:
Now, let's say Horse #2 is coming along, but surprisingly, P is as well. That would be the best possible outcome here, as riding P at a higher level would only give me more tools with which to use on another horse. And I have to say, I wouldn't hate the idea of competing 2 horses. Multiple XC rounds? Sign me up.
Now, I definitely have thought about how badly it would suck if I were to have 2 horses injured at the same time. Hello, that literally happened when C arrived a few weeks ago (though it appears to be resolved so we'll see how he holds up through this week), and it was no fun. It was also no fun when I broke my ankle running inside of a gym and had to be out of the saddle for 12 weeks. Things happen. Believe me…I know that all too well, but I still go to the gym.
There are two main things holding me back from actually wanting to buy another horse, though.
Number 1: The possibility of having to get a new saddle. Yes, seriously. Saddle shopping? I'd rather run a mile barefoot over Legos.
Number 2: That I won't like a new horse as much as P. For how much I hate P's stopping, I love everything else about the horse. You simply can't beat his personality. If I could shrink him, I'd bring him home to live with us in the house.
For me, the time it would take to ride/train/care for 2 horses each day was what I initially felt would be my biggest challenge. But after what Bree commented on my last post about having two, with one preferring a more easygoing lifestyle, taking the leap and getting another may actually turn out to be a good balance, with all hopes and dreams and plans not being pinned on just one unsuspecting equine.
So I'm really no closer to a decision than I was a few weeks ago when I first started thinking about it seriously. There are a couple of nice horses on the market right now, but there will also always be more down the line. Right now I just need to get through this week to see what the vet says about P and how old man C holds up to some actual riding.
